History of the Class of ,59 In the fall of 1955 over two hundred freshmen entered Pennridge, brimming with enthusiasm. They were shy but very ambitious. They were awed by the big upperclassmen. But soon the shyness left them. They held their first high school dance and ordered class hats. Best of all, these freshmen surprised everyone by winning the magazine drive. In the fall of 1956 these same enthusiasts came back to Pennridge feeling very experienced as high school students. They started the year with a very successful autumn dance. They ordered the traditional sophomore jackets. And who won the magazine drive? The sophomores did! As juniors the Class of 1959 kept rolling along. If you are wondering who won the magazine drive, these juniors won it. The juniors staged a very successful play, Harvey. And of course there was the Prom. Scores of industrious juniors turned out for Prom meetings and to decorate. The beautiful dance was Fascination', for all who attended. Finally the Class of 1959 became Seniors. The Seniors started off by winning both the booster drive and the magazine drive. Under the direction of Mr. Wack, the Seniors presented a fine drama, The Defender. Toward the end of 1959 gradu- ation was on everyone's mind. All the last minute preparations, the Washington trip, and finals kept everyone busy. And now the history of the Class of 1959 is complete. It spent four fine years at Pennridge. It is sending two hundred fine men and women into the world. The Class of 1959 can be very proud of its history. Mr. Yoder. Miss Applebach. Mr. Stubbs, Mr. Ott. Miss Campbell, Mr. Kern. Six Great People. 23
