h THE QUILL I933 1V,.... . ,--, ...M ' VOLUME VI Z PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND THE QUILL 92514 X129 FOREWORD Five classes have gone before us and five volumes of the Quill have remain- ed to enshrine forgotten memories. On those pages rest the faces of those who have drifted away into different realms of life. There are, likewise, some who have departed to a life eternal. Does it not mean much to have old memories brought to life? Are not such things sacred? Thus, our hopes are verified, and our efforts are justly rewarded. E31 THE QUILL QW X129 O. B.

It has rounded the last degree of the curve that has composed our high school curriculum. The last particles of the smoke strangely entangle words of despair, of hard- ship, of toil, and of pleasantness. The seniors that pass forth into a strange world will always remem- ber these outstanding years. We Worried over the depressiong we were afraid there would be no teachers. There are still worry lines on every face, but there are smiles, too, for the depression has caused a new cir- cle of entertainment. Can any senior ever forget these outstanding years '? Browned by the sun of mid-summer and strengthened by thriving on vegetables, we blushing sophomores marched to school. We were embar- rassed by the seniors' glances, and we were astonished at the new atmos- phere which prevaded high school. Shy as the flying squirrels that leap from limb to limb, and quick as the tiny fish that swim briskly about in a stream, we stood by and just looked on. There were open to all high school students, the enjoyable activities. The girls adorned themselves graciously with tiny pink hair ribbons, and were initiated one screamy night into the Girls' League. The boys, on the other hand, tied a silky piece of red ribbon about their neck and joined the Hi-Y Club. When the season ended, we boarded the Junior Express, which bore us into Safety City, the junior class. According to records shown previously, the class of '33 was the Hrst to give a junior class play. In early May, when the dew shone on the maple trees and honey-laden- flowers, the juniors entertained the seniors with the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Our faithful class adviser, Miss Gerardine Pritchard, has worked with our class and we are grateful for everything that she has done for us. There is not one who can settle down in your heart as she has deepened her hold on the seniors. We shall never forget Shakespeare, or Dickens, or many others. The athletes who started out as seniors, have dropped off at a sta- tion down the lineg therefore, we seniors are not well acquainted with the fame attached to athletics. We seniors, in all our commencement work, have given hours of en- joyment. The play, Dulcy, was a great favorg the prophecies and wills of the students were enjoyed to their fullest extent. The cast of the play, Peg O' My Heart, was composed chiefly of seniors, even though it was a presentation of the Penn Hi Dramatic Club. Peg, who was nobody but our Irish Mary McConnell, held the crowd just her way. They wept at her horrible aunt's actions, and they laughed at her devilish tricks. Dashes of floating white flirted in and out among the black. The strains of a beautiful Moon Song wafted from the garden. We were dancing, and by the looks of gay, pleasantly lighted faces, twelve years of school will never be regretted. The train now blows for the next station. It is our next position in life. E201 THE QUILL A Fond Aclieu 'l'he time of parting now has come, One taak is ended, another bepgun. The class ol' '33 must go Into the world of joy and woe. lt grieves our hearts to think of this, Tho' it is a time of joy and bliss, When with the name of a worthy class, From the gates of Penn High we must pass. But nevertheless we are leaving' you, And now we bid you a fond adieu, And hope that in the years to come You will rememiber our jolly fun, And always know we were thinking of you And hope you will give us a thought too, As the class that was loyal, noble and true, Affectionate and cheery, but never blue. Now, once again we bid to you A sad 'farewell and a fond adieu, And hope the links of memory's chain Will hold us together till we meet again. -FRANCES ARON HALT i211 QQ' THE QUILL Class Prophecy Let us turn up our clock five years from now, and see what has become of our great and famous class of '33.

E251 THE QUILL HDUICYU Dulcy, ia three act comedy by Marc Gonnelly and George Kaufman, was presented May 12, in the school auditorium by the class of '33, as the annual class production. The scenery, the active work of the executive staff, the splendid performance of the cast, and the direction of Miss Ger- ardine Pritchard, made Dulcy the biggest success of the school year. This comedy featured a large week-end party at the suburban home of Dulcy and her husband, Gordon Smith. During the party many inter- esting events took place of which the most interesting was an elopement followed by a kidnapping and a marriage. Angela Forbes, quite against her father's Will, fell in love with Vincent Leach. Vincent and Angela eloped during the night travelling in Mr. Forbes' car with William Parker, Mrs. Smith's brother, acting as chauffeur. Dulcy, having aided Angela in her plans for the elopement, was quite changed in her attitude toward the situation when Mr. Forbes became aware of what had happened. Much to the surprise of everyone, Angela came back to the Smith residence, not as the wife of Vincent Leach, but as the wife of William Parker, who had kidnapped her from Mr. Leach the night of the elopement. Mr. Leach, the great scenarist and Angela's lover, kept the story pro- gressing with his many interesting stories concerning pictures. Roger Forbes, another member of the party and a business man, was deeply interested in the jewelry concern of which Gordon Smith was in charge. He wished to spend the time discussing business, but Mr. Smith didn't like the idea of trying to mix business with pleasure 3 however, their lengthy discussions were always interrupted by the activeness of Mrs. Smith. Henry, formerly a prisoner and released by the influence of Dulcy, acted as butler at the Smith home. ' Mrs. Forbes, wife of Roger Forbes, received much attention during the play from Schuyler Van Dyck, who had an hallucination that he was a millionaire. The leading roles, those of Dulcy and Gordon Smith, were taken by Esther Fisher and Theodore Zollner. Angela Forbes, the character who created the greatest interest in the play, was marvelously enacted by Mary McConnell, the star made famous by Penn's Dramatic Club production, Peg O' My Heart. Mary upheld her reputation as Penn's genius of the stage and proved that her ability as a star is unsurpassable. Mrs. Forbes was skillfully acted by Marian Weber. Schuyler Van Dyck was characterized by Oliver Rice. Blair Patterson, a man of middle age with quite an air of authority, was none other than Benton Filler. Tom Sternett, a very much alive young man, was cleverly taken by one of Penn's famous athletes, John Hamilton. Mr. Leach's role was capably portrayed by Franklin Statler. The character of Roger Forbes was enacted by Cletis Hartsock. Howard Hoyle gave a faithful interpretation of the part of William Parker. The role of Henry, the butler, could not have been better portrayed than by James Griiiin. This comedy certainly gave all attendants two hours of wonderful entertainment.

The hall was artistically decorated in the class colors-green and yel- low. During intermission several specialties were given and refreshments were served. Everyone had a splendid time, but-it is odd that so much sorrow slips into one's make-up at the Senior Prom. There is an atmos- phere of happy sadness among the dancers as they realize that this is the last social function they will attend as members of the old Alma Mater. After the strains of Home Sweet Home had drifted over the dance floor and Auf Wiedersehens had been said, the dancers departed for their respective homes to dream of the happiest night they had ever had. The Junior-Senior Prom Probably the greatest social event of the school year was the Junior- Senior Prom, which was given the seniors in the school auditorium on the evening of June second. It seems that this is the parting of the ways for two classes and, although there was much merriment and ballyhoo to be heard and seen fwithin four blocks of the Alma Materl, there might have been a thorn in each and every senior's heart. Of course, one would not expect to behold such things as tears in any of those bright eyes, but there is such a thing as crying inwardly and it is likely that many an upper-classman for womanl shed tears of such nature. So long as the orchestra played snappy fox-trots and the like, partings, farewells, and fcall them what you wishj, were forgotten, but the Waltzes- and how well you remember them-so dreamy, so full of meaning, so filled with ecstacy, inspired a slight touch of pity in junior hearts and brought back old memories to the seniors. l28l JUNICDRS The Junior Class I'IIf1U EIHL THE QUILL Junior Class Roll Frances Abell Claudine Aldridge LaVe1'ne Ambrose John Barrett John Bartik Hazel Bennett Arthur Billmeyer Elmira Bourckel Ruth Bowden Franklin Bradley Ralph Brant Ruth Brashears Thomas Brakeall Charles Brinker Clyde Broadstoek Kathern Burger Helen Campbell Percy Campbell Gorman Coberly James Coleman Edith Darnley Dorothy Dowlan Clair DeVore Arthur Dobie Ernest Dorsey Thomas Douglas I-Iainpton Driver George Dunlap John Durrett Eugene Dyche Ola Faye Early Virgil Eackles Isabelle Fisher Marie Fisher Conrad Faupcl Edward Flora Josephine Griflin Raymond Goodrich William Gordon William Grimm Ruth Graham Helen Howdyshell Catherine Humbertson Raymond Hahne Lester Harvey Melvin Henry Charles Hensel Blair Holler Allen I-Iuddleston Eileen James Thelma Johnson Ruth Kalbaugh Frank Kalbaugh Macy Knight Geraldine Kunes Charles Knippenberg James Knippenberg Annaline Lepley Frances Lisanti Mildred Maier Edna Martin Helen McIntyre Pearl Miller Esther Morris Elizabeth Murray Amy Mansberry Claude Mangus Edward Moore Milburn Michael Earl Pag-ue LaVerne Northcraft Mary Peters Iona Pratt Elizabeth Plummer Mary Plummer Elizabeth Orndorfl' Mildred Oster Lois Reckley 5311 Mabel Robey Helena Rudiger Harold Rowe Rita Schad Beatrice Shearer Ethel Smith Eleanor Sterner Esther Stewart Arline Swartley Charles Sell Orrie Sensabaugh Charles Smith Norman Smith Charles Souders George Statler Lois Twigg Rollin Twigg Frederick Taschenberg Elizabeth Ulle1'y Mildred Volk Virginia Webb Ruth Weber Ethel Welshans Mercia Wheeler Matie Wimer Marian Witherup Charles Wagniere Norman Walburn Robert Whalley Vernon Wharton David Wilson Frank Wise Stella Yacenech Mattie Cox Walter Poling Cletis Hartsock Marie Brake Boyd Edenhart Nellie Wagner THE QUILL ea A- -- ee- as Junior Closs History President-Clair DeVore Vice-President-Helen Campbell Secretary-Esther Morris Treasurer-Ruth Bowden Class Historian-Ruth Brashears How short the last two happy years seem since the portals of Penn High were thrown open to us, and we entered our first year of high school life, very bashful and inexperienced children. As we soon became accus- tomed to our new world of education, our bashfulness left. We entered into the affairs of our school and soon became true and active boosters. We were and are still filled with that everlasting spirit of love and esteem for dear old Penn High. ' At the beginning of our sophomore year we resolved to leave no stone unturned in our conquest for achievement. At our first class meeting we elected our officers: President, Helen Campbell, Vice-President, Dorothy Dowlang Secretary, Lois Twiggg Treasurer, Ruth Bowden, and Class Ad- viser, Mr. 'Paul R. Perdew. On February 19, we gave our prom, and all attendants enjoyed them- selves. Amid the colored streamers of green and white, we glided back and forth, doing our best to prove our capability as young hosts and hostesses. The weeks and months passed quickly. Examinations were before us. Several of our classmates became discouraged and gave up the ship, but a ship full of sophomores landed safely on the junior shore, ready and more determined to carry out the resolutions for achievement. At our first stop on the junior shore we elected our ship crew, which consisted of: President, Clair DeVoreg Vice-President, Helen Campbellg Secretary, Esther Morrisg Treasurer, Ruth Bowden, and our Captain, Mr. Paul R. Perdew. We started to work immediately with the various problems that con- fronted us. The first thing that demanded our attention was the choosing of our class rings. We were proud to receive the great honor bestowed upon us of setting the standard in class rings. Also, we feel that the oncoming classes will be as proud of the rings as we are. Our next problem was the Junior Class Play. On March 3, we were pleased with the large audience which spent the evening visiting Spooky Tavern with us. Since it was our first effort in bringing to light our rath- er unusual talent under the class name, one can imagine and understand our babbles of enthusiasm at the success of the play. Finally, the big moment arrived, June 2, when we gave the seniors their annual J unior-Senior Prom. With soft strains of music Linder glori- ous decorations, it proved a great success. Since we realized it was our farewell to the seniors, we endeavored to add to their store of pleasant memories. This year was all that one could hope for. Two happy years have come and gone, during which we juniors have become wiser and have obtained more splendid aspirations. The portals of Penn High are closing for a few months of leisure, during which time there will be rest and recreation. Next year we hope to take up our duties with a renewed vigor and to pledge our eternal loyalty to our school. We will carry the torch that has been thrown to us and strive ever to uphold the ideals of Penn High. l252l CLUBS THE QUILL QW 2429 E341 THE QUILL sa -ef as Penn I-ligh Dramatic Club OFFICERS IJl'CS'lLil9Ht-'MARION WITIiERUP Vice-President-CLAIR DEVORE Secretary-HAZEL BENNETT Treasurer-LAVERNE AMBROSE Sergeant-at-Arms-THELMA JOHNSON Chairman of Program Committee-PAULINE KINES Chairman of Constitution Committee-ELEANOR STERNER Filing Clerk-HELEN HOWDYSHELL Publicity Manager-RUTH WEBER Stage Manager-THEODORE ZOLLNER Director-Miss GERARDINE PRITCHARD As the man, so is his speech -Syrus Another page in the history of the Penn Hi Dramatic Club has' been written.

Not only the mem-bers but also the student body and the patrons have shown much interest in the club. The club made its initial appearance in a Parent-Teachers' Association program. During the Christmas holidays the Boys' and Girls' Clubs sang an impressive Christmas Carol Vesper Service by candle light at the Trinity Methodist Church and at the Bap- tist Church. Two days later the club went caroling and spent a very enjoyable evening. The combined glee clubs gave their annual sacred concert at the B. Sz O. Y. M. C. A. The third annual spring concert was artistically given by the musical clubs, which also presented several beautiful numbers at the senior sermon. The selections that were sung by the clubs at the commencement exercises were very appropriate and beau- tifully finished. The Sextette is composed of six of the outstanding members of the club. This year it consists of: First sopranos, Marian Weber, Esther Fisherg second Sopranos, Ethel Nesbitt, Ethel Welshansg altos, Mary Frances Rockwell, Ruth Weber. These girls have represented the club on a number of occasions and at each per- formance brought more glory to the club. The Sextette was organized in 1929 and has been more and more success-ful every year. This year it has certainly excelled in the quality of its performance. A great part of the success of the club is attributed to Miss Schock, the director. It is a well known fact that the Girls' Glee Club is one of the most active organizations in the school. Boys' Glee Club President-JOHN HAMILTON Vice-President-EARL PAGUE Secretary-Treasurer-BENTON FILLER Dl1'GCt0l'-MISS ALMA SCHOCK The Boys' Glee Club, under the able direction of Miss Alma Schock, has progressed very much during the school term of '32-'33. Miss Schock was furnished with good material and as a result she was able to build up a fine Glee Club. Combined with the Girls' Glee Club the Boys' Glee Club made several appearances at which the music was appreciated. During the Christmas holidays the Glee Clubs gave a Christmas Carol Vesper Service by candle light. The concert was at the Trinity Methodist Church and also at the Baptist Church. The Glee Club gave their annual sacred program at the B. St O. Y. M. C. A. Musical selections for the spring concert and the senior sermon were given by the Boys' Glee Club and the combined Glee Clubs. The Boys' Quartet, which is made up of four of the best voices from the Boys' Glee Club, has achieved many honors in the past year, singing everywhere. The quartet members are Earl Pague, Virgil Eackels, Oliver Rice, and Lester Harvey. i3'7l THE QUILL GSX X29 Student Council Pennsycanac Staff f38fl THE QUILL QRS fs AQ Student Council The year of 1932-33 has shown the outstanding work of the Student Council. Everyone In some way has felt the effect of the work. QThe members have carried on the routine work of the councilj. All students know that their points have been check- ed, the honor roll 'has been presented effectively, the lunch rooms have been supervis- ed for the benefit of the students, and the school attendance has been greatly improved. This yCa1 S council feels that it will be remenrbered in the history of Pennsylvania Avenue High School for the formation of the first Interscholastic Council League. This league was organized by the Student Council of 19312-33 and is the first organization of its kind in Allegany County. This type of activity broadens the work of the coun- cils and creates a spirit of friendship and cooperation among schools.

Through the ensuing years its members have endeavored to keep the standards 'high and have found many avenues for usefulness. During the school year 1932-33 the club has done much to aid' those less fortunate by furnishing warm clothing and food, not only at Christmas time, but all through the year. Many of these contributions have been used in Penn High. In the rest room, begun last year and enlarged this year, the color scheme that is carried out is green and white. The faculty has access to the room for vacant periods, rest periods and for conference, and those who become ill during school hours may use it for comfort. The social activities have not been neglected, for the Halloween dance found the members tripping the light fantastic under a low hung ceiling of autumn leaves and many other typical decorations of the season. With the cooperation of the Hi-Y, this dance was a great success. On April 28, young men and maidens again turned their thoughts to dancing. These social functions helped to create a wholesome, refined atmosphere within the school. Several swimming parties have been enjoyed at the Y. M. C. A. during the year. Regular meetings have been conducted. The discussions on etiquette in some of its phases stimulated interest in these meetings. A A club never reaches perfection, but the members feel that they have gone a long way toward attaining their goals this year. The club has had a part in bettering the conditions of the school through the projects cited above, has promoted school activities, and has assisted in making Pennsylvania Avenue a happier and more wholesome school. i40l THE QUILL sa e ie! Fermon G. Pugh Debating Contest For the third year Pennsylvania Avenue High School entered the Ferman G. Pugh debating contest. This year the question for debate was: t'Resolved, That the State olf Maryland should adopt a graduated income tax, making all persons twenty-one years of age or above subject thereto, to lessen the tax on tangible propertyf, Friday night, March 31, the negative team, which consisted of Frances Aronholt, Marian Webe1', Esther Fisher and Helen Campbell, alternate, under the direction of Mr. Gregory, was awarded the unanimous decision of the judges over the affirmative team, which was composed of Ray Weimer, Charles Smith, Clair DeVore and Edwin Lewis, alternate, which was under the supervision of Mr. Saeger. On Friday, April 7, the negative team was the guest of the afiirmativ-e team of Beall High School of Frostburg. Although acquitting themselves nobly, they lost the decision by a very close margin. The afiirmative team debating our city rival, Allegany High School's negative team, won the decision of the judges. This was the iirst vic- tory in the -history of debating at Pennsylvania Avenue and the fact that it was over our friendly rival, Allegany, brings much joy to the students of Pennsylvania Avenue lligh School. The medals l'or the best speakers were awarded to Esther Fisher of the negative team, and to Clair DeVore of the affirmative. Lowndes Declomotion Contest The preliminary contest was held in the school auditorium on December 9. Each declamation was admirably given and deserving of the applause which it received. The coaehesdeserve much credit. Marian Weber was selected by the judges to represent the school in the county cont-est held December 19, at Pennsylvania Avenue High School. Marian was awarded the banner by Mr. Lowndes for the best declamation in the county contest. Her selec- tion, which was given in a very impressive manner, was The Greatest Gift, by Grace Klon. Clair 1JeVore deserved the decision of the judges with his oration, 'tThe Constitu- tion, 'by Herbert Winig. Others in the contest were: Harold Rowe, Mother of Meng Edna Sirbaugh, The Little Mixer, Earl Pague, The Hero of the South, Marian Witherup, The .Reasonable Doubtg Esther Fisher, The Mansion, Donald Holtzman, The Supreme Menaccgu Alice Neel, The Cup of Loving Service. E411 THE QUILL QW 829 Notionoi I-lonor Society Pennsylvania Avenue High School is honored by being one of the six schools in the state of Maryland to have a chapter of the National Honor Society. This chap- ter, the only one of its kind installed in any school in Allegany County, was introduced in the Pennsylvania Avenue High School last year by the Martinsburg High School Chapte1'. This year the installation ceremony was held Thursday, April 27, during the regu- lar school assembly. The five senior members, representing the fundamentals of the society, pledged each new member to be true to the ideals of the Honor Society. To be a member of this society an individual must scholastically be in the highest fifteen per cent of the separate junior and senior classes. The members are chosen by the faculty of the school for their achievement in the four requirements necessary for membership, na-mely: scholarship, leadership, service and character. The members of the senior class elected into membership of the society are Theo- dore Zollner, Louise Smith, Myrtle Hamilton, Ethel Nesbitt, Loretta Brotemarkle, Frances Aronhalt, Esther Fisher, Geraldine Irons, Gelia Mongold, Alice Neel, Gladys Reuschel, Marian Weber, Willard Adams, Benton Filler and Ray Weimar. The members representing the junior class are LaVerne Ambrose, Hazel Bennett, Ruth Brashears, Helen Campbell and Clair DeVore. i421 ATHLETICS THE QUILL 3 - -3 3 BosketboH Penn High has completed another successful basketball season losing but five games out of twenty-seven. She was unfortunate in the battles with her city rivals, losing both games to Allegany by close scores, 34-33 and 36-27. Penn split even with LaSalle, losing the first game 27-23, but taking the second one 42-33. Penn should have won alll thlree games, but Dame Fortune failed to smile in her direction and she was finally ecgec out. The Maroon and White team finished second in the W. M. I.

E441 THE QUILL Football Penn High began football this year for the first time in the history of the school. The team was called the baby team, because of its first year in the sport. The boys tied the first two games with teams that were expected to beat them by decisive scores. Allegany was the team defeating Penn by the largest score which was 21 to On LaSalle also won by scoring a touchdown in the last three minutes of play. Most of the ex- peiienced boys will be back next year and Penn is looking forward to a more success- fu season.

Each girl who held a position on the team worked hard to keep her position and the respect of the captain and coach. The girls' team of 1933 won their game over Beall. This is the first time in the history of Pennsylvania Avenue High School that their team has defeated the Beall Girls of Frostburg, Md. They lost three games while coached by Miss Todd, but the team extends their appreciation in behalf of the splendid coaching of both Miss Jenkins and Miss Todd. ' Penn Op.

They accomplished something that no other Penn High team has ever done in defeating Bruce on Penn's home field and holding them to a single field goal at Westernport. They split even with the city rival, Allegany, winning one game and losing one. This year's team was never scored on in the first -half of any game. The team was young and inexperienced but it looks forward to a better season next year. With more experience Penn High may become one of the main threats in the soccer loop. Penn Op. Mt.
