dedicated to I. Ronald Mowery The class of 1968 dedicates the thirty-third volume of Memoirs to Mr. J Ronald Mowery. He is an outstanding teacher who devotes much of his time to instructing and helping students. With his good disposition and friendli- ness he easily earns the respect of his pupils. A graduate of Shippensburg State College, with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, Mr. Mowery entered Pen Argyl High School in 1964. The first two years he taught Earth and Space Science, the next year General Chemistry and Physicsg and at the present time he teaches Laboratory Physics and Senior Science. As junior class advisor, Mr. Mowery is in charge of the annual magazine drive and the planning of the junior- senior prom. He is also advisor of the senior high school student government, in which position he promotes new ideas and solves important problems in an attempt to make Pen Argyl High School fulfill the desires of the student body. In addition to spending his free time with his wife, Nancy, and his two children, Mr. Mowery is earning a master's degree at Lehigh University. - Although not all seniors come into direct contact with Mr. Mowery, they have all, at one time, benefited from his influence.

FOREWGRD A student enters the seventh grade with a feeling of bewilderment, which probably comes from his general lack of knowledge and his consequent interest in only one major area. This first feeling is the beginning of a series of attitudes in which the student's original uncer- tainty gradually diminishes. By attaining more skill in all fields through years of study, by developing the abilities of upperclassmen and, finally, by realizing the probabili- ty of success after graduation, he gains self confidence. During this time, his understanding of many things is greatly increased, and he will develop new interests, one of which he will devote much of his time and effort to for a major portion of his life. The process of education is affected by teachers who give both instruct-ion and encouragement. It is further aided by competition in sports through which can be found an outlet for emotion, and by participation in clubs and other activities which greatly supplements learning.
