SPORTS AT PENN HIGH Three different sports have been played at Penn High: volleyball, basketball. and baseball: the only one that survived is baseball. The first sport team was volleyball, under the direction of Mr. Burkhart back in 1919, and lasted about ten years. The only opponent played was Bethel High School. Basketball was begun in 1929 and ended in 1930. The games were played in the pavilion in the park. Non-league games were played. Opposing teams were West Leesport, Wernersville, and Ontelaunee. In 1919, a baseball team was organized. Until 1930 all games played were non- league. During those years teams from Bethel, Robesonia, Wernersville, and other small local clubs were the opponents. ln 1930 Penn High School joined the Western Division. The first league team was composed of the following men: Daniel Bagenstose, Clifford Kline, Ralph Kline, Grant Reber, Samuel Wilhelm. Edgar Miller, Carl Fidler, John Dunkelberger, and Carl Anspach: the last mention- ed gave his life for his country in the Italian campaign of the last war. He was the first alumnus of Penn High to make the supreme sacrifice. and the Bernville Legionaires have named their organization the Carl Anspach Post. The record of the first year of league baseball was six wins and four losses. The last three years Penn High has finished second in division standings with the record of seven wins and three losses. Penn High won the divisional champion- ship in the years 1936, 1939, and 1942. Mr. Francis H. Moyer, affectionately known as Pop, has been the coach throughout the history of Penn High baseball. When Bernville joined the Western Division, the league consisted of six teams: Shillington. Robesonia, Wyomissing. Sinking Spring, Womelsdorf, and Bernville. Today the league consists of Wernersville, Robesonia, Sinking Spring, Womelsdorf, Bethel, and Bernville. Seniors who will play their 'last year' are Kermit Balthaser. Edwin Roth, Clarence Hoy, William Troutrnan, and Stanley Schade. Z0
