While still the Freshman name we bore, We grew to love our high school's name NX'ith four more years in which to score Our fleeting marks in the Halls of Fame. In '47 as Sophomores, all, We felt our knowledge stronger growg In stature now no longer small We were beginning to be in the know , So onward ever onward Toward the upper goal we sought. The course becoming rougher As eagerly we fought. And now that we were juniors And half our goal was won, We settled down less grimly And had our share of fun. But oh, the crowning Glory, Of being the Senior Class. And thinking we could get away Vfith that well-known back talk sass. Now as we enter the home stretch The years have seemed to fly, And as we recall the last four years There is nothing left but a sigh. To all our teachers faithful Our thanks we would extend, For they have been our true friends Until the fateful end. The football games and dances, Christmas plays and parties, too, May all you lower classmen Have all these joys we knew. To classmates, Elaine and Gerald, Who too early left their earthly shrine To flower in God's garden, May all heavenly joys be thine. And now. Dear Alma Mater, We leave Thy Halls of Fameg May Fortune smile upon us And Fame attach our name. -Dick MATLOCK 5 . i l -5 -. -.nn-..... ih'?Q:1 5 I U ...... -- --Q ..-- vuin-11 7' .. -. l -9 in I. i it 'Wai' ,-.. -L I' an ..iv- -.. --Y ' ins...

How important we felt when we started out for school that first morning of our new school year in 1949. We were Seniors! As we walked along, we saw some old friends from the year before.

Being a progressive organiza- tion, it has increased business activity in the area immensely. To further its business program, it has recently converted 100W from steam loco- motives to diesels.

And it was there we made many new friends who brought warmth and joy to our world. So, as we grow older, we will never forget Weaver's Cornerf, aawiiusisw. . QUARR1Es There are very few persons today who can describe to us the starting of the slate quarries in and around Pen Argyl. However, these few old timers will relate how several men from nearby Chap- mans Quarries came to this district to hunt. fAt this time, farming was the only occupation in this area.j While they were hunting, they noticed many slate out-croppings in the woodland area. As they were slaters by profession, they realized the value of their discovery and soon after their reporting the finding, slate companies started to quarry the rock. The slate found was high grade quality, better than the usual hard-veined slate. This fact meant future success in the field in this area. This discovery also meant a new influx of slate workers to add to the growing population, out- standing among these were the Italians and Welsh. This meant that the area finally had a stable in- dustry to encourage new settlers, and an industry that was to become world renowned. Perhaps no other industry has augmented the local population to a greater degree or has encouraged correlated concerns and interests, such as trucking and women's working companies, as has the quarrying of the slate. Thirty-seven 'ap-ng'--f C H U R C H E S The progressive attitude of the people of Pen Argyl is evidenced by the number of churches and the reg- ular attendance of their members. Although in- dividual groups, they are united in one great pur- pose, that of seeking a firmer spiritual foundation. Acquiring that foundation brings the assuring knowledge that the one great foundation is jesus Christ, Our Lord. No description of fifty years of progress in Pen Argyl is by any means complete with- out mentioning a definite way of life, and how it has affected the Pen Argyl area. Perhaps no people have added more color to this area than the Italian-Americans, who have settled here to pursue their vocational interests. Their primary settlement in regard to Pen Argyl is West Bangor, which was first popu- lated in 1892. Most of the men worked in the quarries. To supply their needs the Fidelity Food Market was established at an early date. Today the community boasts a population of 316, street lights, recently installed, modern sports organizations such as the Men's Club and the Hillside Rod and Gun Club, the baseball team entered in the Blue Mountain League, and several mills employing the women of West Bangor. Looking to the future, the town foresees further improvements such as sidewalks and hreplugs, all adding to a growing community. Thirty-eight WIND GAP Pictured here is a very familiar sight to all Slate Belt residents-the topographic indenture from which the town nestled below its slopes is named -XVind Gap. But in contrast to the never changing scenery, the town is rapidly progressing in many respects. In approximately fifty-five years of borough consoli- dation, Wind Gap has gained the distinction of being the commercial Gateway to the Poconosj' and is at the present expanding in industry and amusement centers. idn mm l BUILDINGS Pen Argyl has many buildings which are indeed landmarks. Its tallest building, the Realty Building, was built in 1908. It is one building which any visitor remembers because it is centrally located and con- tains a pharmacy, an electrical store, and a men's clothing store. All these business establishments are frequently patronized by both the young and old of the town. The grade school buildings, although rather old, are most durable and attractive to the younger children. The McKinley Building was the high school before the present structure was built. The present high school was completed in 1936 and is the most beautiful building in the com- munity. The location, architecture, and surround- ings make a vivid image on the memories of all graduates, an image which will last forever. HOUSES The tall two story houses with their blue-gray roofs symbolize the communityls industry-slate. Many of our houses are very old landmarks which have been here since the start of the town. The people of Pen Argyl take pride in their lawns by planting shrubbery, trees, and flowers. The Blue Ridge Mountain serves as scenic background for the small town of Pen Argyl.

Miss Holloway is doa Sixty-four u der With Orchids The scene, wealthy Addison Kincaid's library in their mountain resort. The atmosphere, murder! Already one housekeeper has been killed, Kincaid opposes his daughters marriage to Clark Ben- ton, an upstart newspaper reporter, and has brought Clarice to the country to discourage the ro- manceg Mrs. Kincaid needs live thousand dollars in cash immediately for an unknown reason, and because Addison refuses to give her the money, she shouts, Oh, there are times when I would like to murder you in cold blood! One evening as Addison is seated in the library, the lights go out, there is a scuffle, when the lights go on, Addison is dead. The only clue is a sheaf of orchids lying on the neck of the victim. Suspects who are investigated by a new arrival, Sheriff Casper Sharpe, are Mrs. Kincaid, Kemp, Kincaids private secretary, Benton, who had followed Clarice, and Clara Holloway, a housekeeper. Suspense quickens as Miss Holloway is murdered, Kemp disappears, and the sherihf becomes ll1OI'C puzzled. The solution is finally credited to Benton as he exposes Kemp as a potassium cyanide killer who planted the vial of poison in the orchids.

It participated faithfully in the football games by making a large letter of the rival school and by performing other marching maneuvers at half-time. The most illustrious event in the football season occurred at the Thanksgiving Day game. A member of the band beheaded a large turkey representing Bangor, while the band played an appropriate funeral dirge. Illustrations of The Old Gray Mare and Golden Slippers delighted the spectators. The band also marched in the annual Halloween Parade sponsored by the Exchange Club of Pen Argyl. Perhaps the most important event of the year was the campaign for new band uniforms, conducted by the Parent-Teacher Association. All band members and interested citizens watched the results of this drive with satisfaction and pleasure. A varied band concert in the spring brought to a close a busy but delightful year for the band.

The game ended as Pen Argyl repelled several goal line thrusts. but still stayed on the long end of a 14-7 count. l Eighty-three Stroudsburg 21 r' Pen Argyl o Oh, woe is me! This phrase describes the homewarcl journey of the Pen Argyl football team from a muddy, misty, and a ieering Stroudsburg. X3Uhy? The team had just dropped a 21-0 decision to the maroon and white of the Poconos in a night game at Gordon-Giffel field. Stroudsburg drove 80 yards for their first store. Heller l-ticked the seventh point. Pen Argyl fought back desperately, but a 15 yard penalty set them back after reaching the 13 yard line of Stroudsburg. The second period was uneventful and the score stood at 7-0 at the half. Starting the second half, the Green again drove to the 13 where Stroudsburg ended the scoring thrust by intercepting a pass. In fact, the turn of events meant six more points for them as they went the distance. Hinton scoring. XX'ith Harding and liellis tarrying the ball. Pen Argyl neared the goal several times. but they only neared it.

Oh, woe is me! Eighty-four Pen Argyl 21 H Washington 7 Gaining partial revenge for the Stroudsburg game, the Pen Argyl gridders returned to Memorial Stadium to out- run and outcharge a visiting Wfashington, New jersey, team. Pen Argyl won, 21-7. XY'ashington won the toss, elected to receive, and advanced the hall from their own 10 to the Green 25, where they lost the hall on downs. Pen Argyl came back with vengeance, scoring on four plays, Harding tripping off 22 yards, and Bellis running 40 for the six pointer, Knapp converted for the point. Later in the period, a Blue Streak fumble gave Pen Argyl the hall on the jersey 30. Harding carried to the tive, but a live yard penalty set them back to the 10, They drove to the two on the next few plays, but fum- bled the scoring chance away.

Unahle to gain, they punted to their own 45. Nazareth kept to the ground and moved to the goal line. The kick for the extra point was blocked. Still in the first period, Nazareth again drove to pay dirt. The extra point try was missed. Score: 12-0. Halfway through the second period Pen Argyl recovered an Eagle fumble on the Blue 40 yard line from where a good running and passing attack produced a touchdown, Bellis scoring from the one. Lessig added the point. The second half was played mostly on the Nazareth side of midheld as the Green threatened several times. Once they recovered a blocked punt on the Blue seven. However, Nazareth was taking too much time on the play and was penalized, keeping the ball. Again they punted, this time Pen Argyl fumbled the punt on their own 45, Nazareth recovering. This gave the Leh boys a much needed hreak as they crossed the goal line on a suc- cession of plays. Ahearn scored all seven points of the touchdown play. The rest of the game was uneventful and disheartening to the Green and Wluite supporters, especially when they thought of the 19-7 score. in-arm-' v ' ' ' ' . A ' 1-A ilson I4 f' pen Argyl 7 Returning to Memorial Stadium, the Leonard boys hoped to regain the victory stride by gaining revenge on a team that had beat them the year before on the last play of the game. Unfortunately, kind fate was not in the Green lineup. Although playing a fierce game and making Wilson plunge hard for yardage, Pen Argyl was defeated by the familiar opposition strategy- Wait until the last period! Pen Argyl kicked off, Wilson returning the ball forciblyg in a succession of plays the Blue and Gold moved the ball to the home team's three yard line where the policy in their backfield became, Who has the ball - I haven't! Pen Argyl recovered the fumble and turned the tables as they swept the field for a score. Automatic Knapp converted, making the score 7-0. Although the teams prevented any possible stiff necks among the spectators by driving the distance of the field in alternation, this score remained until the fatal fourth. The period opened with Wilson in possession of the ball on the Pen Argyl 32. One play carried to the 20 where Marcellino ran over the goal line for a score. Faking a placekick, the ball Went to Clauss, who ran the extra point. Now it was even, but the Green came back with vengeance. Harding took the ball from the 25 to the 35, but a 15 yard penalty stopped the drive in short order. Here Pen Argyl punted out of danger from all appearances, but Wilson was goal bent. The punt return stopped on the Green 38 where a new drive commenced. Mar- cellino made himself notorious as he scored again, this time from the eight. Clauss stumbled around end for the final point of the game. Wilson later scored a six pointer on a punt return, but a penalty nullified the play. Pen Argyl tried to even the score with passing, but failed, and the final count was 14-7. Eighty seven Northampton 40 f' Pen Argyl 7 1 e it ,,,, , W., Pen Argyl traveled to Northampton to start the last month of the football season only to lose to a powerful Black and Orange eleven, 40-7. It was their third straight defeat. The first Northampton score came in the hrst period as they took a poor Pen Argyl punt on the Green 55 and drove for seven points. In the second stanza, the Konkrete Kids drove 60 yards for the second touchdown of the game. The extra point try failed. Then Pen Argyl came to life as a Pezzuto to Caesar pass put the ball on the enemy 19. However, Pen Argyl fumbled, and Northampton recovered. The Cementers marched right down the field for six more points, Luck- enbach scoring his second six pointer of the day. An ensuing Pezzuto.Caesar pass put the pigskin on the Northampton six. Harding scored on the next play. Knapp kept his record clean by booting another extra point. Pen Argyl found itself on the Northampton 19, moments later, as Pezzuto and Caesar clicked again with a pass play, but could not score. At half time the score stood at 19-7. Northampton, returning the second half kickoff on a sustained drive, scored another seven pointer. But here Pezzuto returned an opposition punt 38 yards to the Black and Orange 37 where the ball was lost on downs. Four plays later Northampton scored again, Luckenbach pushing across his fourth of the day. A 55 yard run by Kulp scored the Hnal Northampton tally of the afternoon. Thus ended a devastating game for a tired and dejected Green Wave. Eighty-eight Pen Argyl I3 P' Copley 6 Pen Argyl returned home to get back into the winning way by dumping a fast-stepping Coplay squad. Pen Argyl won the toss and took the kickoff to the Coplay 10, but .1 penalty and a fumble lost the ball to the opponents on the Coplay 25. The second period found Coplay passing to the Pen Argyl 45, but the attack failed, Coplay punting to the 12. Here Harding and Bellis put on their familiar running act, Harding scoring from the one, Knapp missed his first extra point try of the year at this point. Coplay opened the second half by passing to the Green 27, but started going into reverse here, Pen Argyl took over on their 42. Now the Green Wfave commenced the heaving game. A 40 yard aerial was deflected into Caesars open arms for a score. Knapp added the point. The linal period found Coplay filling the air with passes which carried to the one where jandrositz went over. In prelude to the Bangor game, Pen Argyl so defeated a good Maroon and Gray eleven, 156. Eighty-nine Ninety Pen Argyl 6 Bangor o This is The Game as far as the Slate Belt is concerned. Xlffhole seasons depend upon its outcome, As the two teams lined up before the kickoff, Bangor boasted an undefeated, untied record with victories over Stroudsburg, Wilson, and Nazareth. all of whom had beaten Pen Argyl previously. Bangor had one perfect season ruined by Pen Argyl in 1937, and they promised it wouldn't happen again. Pen Argyl's record was not spectacular by any means-four and four, but hope was not to be lost. Since the dull resume of the game has been quickly forgotten. this article will review only the most spirited plays. The first half was scoreless, although Bangor once drove to the Green 25 and Knapp of Pen Argyl tried a field goal from the Bangor seven. The kick went wide and low. In the second half, Smith of the Maroon punted out of bounds on the Pen Argyl eight yard line. Here Hard- ing on a simple line buck broke into the clear and ran a footrace with DeFranco, the only remaining defender, to the goal line. All Pen Argyl fans missed a heartbeat as Bill wavered in his tracks once, but he won the race and the game with the score as he crossed the goal standing. Knapp missed the extra point, but no one but Knapp cared. Pen Argyl had scored! The rest of the game was a desperate Bangor effort to score, hut glaring fumbles and other mistakes prevented such a happening. It's all history now, never to he forgotten.
