Our eyes have been opened to the complex processes which continually provide us with beautiful scenery. To this opportunity of enriching our lives by working close to the good earth and studying her wondrous life, we sincerely dedicate our yearbook. Appreciation “Her open eyes desire the truth. The wisdom of a thousand years is in them. May perpetual youth keep dry their light from tears. Tennyson’s noble words aid us in expressing our appreciation of Mrs. Masters. More fluent English skills and greater knowledge and esteem of English literature will be with us always because of her inspiring professorship. Her humorous tales, narrations, gray Volkeswagon. and vivid descriptions of Europe arc among our most treasured memories. May she continue to spread the seeds of cultural appreciation. 3 ADMINISTRATION Jonathan W.

Pastime-retiring after 12 p. m. CLASS OF 58 20 Prophesy Dear Gail, As I picked up the paper this morning, my attention was drawn to the headlines which read Class of '58 Established New Town. Fascinated by this startling information, I read on to discover that the name of this town was New Ambler, organized by Mayor Beth Higgins. The town was located in a once desolate area of Pennsylvania. I immediately decided to visit my friends whom I had not seen since graduation. The next morning I hopped into my helicopter and took off for New Ambler. In a few hours I landed in a well cultivated field of a large farm. Climbing out of rny helicopter, I noticed a short, dark-haired girl hoeing weg-etablcs ; it was undoubtedly Pat Krieg. She was glad that I had come to visit her class mates and was helpful in giving me directions to Ann Jones’s ranch. I borrowed Pat’s pickup truck and drove up to Andy’s residence where I saw a sign, King Jones’s Ranch.” Yes, she had indeed surpassed King Ranch. In one of the barns I met Lenny Fried, Andy's foreman, who showed me her prize Morgan stallion, Quaker’s Jubilee. After a pleasant visit I drove on to the main street of the new town. The sign on the first building told me that Nancy Blank and Mary Mills Carter were now landscape architects; I talked with them for a while and then went next door to Lois Kunath’s pet shop. 1 inquired about a lovely litter of puppies in the shop window and was informed that they had been raised by Robin Kirk at her Happy Paw Kennels. Cheyenne’’ Reynolds was purchasing a Saint Bernard. Afterwards 1 walked outside to a parking space where Nicky Gardcre was wailing in Nancy’s sports car; they were just leaving for a two-year’s tour of the world. I bid them a bon voyage and continued down the street to a florist shop which was owned by Irene Mazur. Here I watched Barbara Smith and Jane Wetterau diligently arranging chrysanthemums. The three-car garage behind the shop showed me that Renie was now very prosperous. Since it was lunchtime, I looked for a place to eat and decided upon Jeri’s Restaurant across the street. Inside 1 found Jeannette Manetas, who told me she was very happy with her new business. While I was sitting in a booth and waiting for my meal, Hope Gandy entered. 1 was quite pleased to learn that she was now editor-in-chief of the Harness Horse Magazine. I had a long talk with Hope and found out that Anne Clifford was riding her horse, Goonball, with the United States Equestrian Team. Hope also said that she missed Charlotte Pasler, who was at the Belmont Race Track with her horse. Spring’s Fantasy. After finishing my lunch, I was directed to the home of the former Monica Moran. Monk was very busy with her twelve children, but she paused to chat with me. Among other things, she told me I should plan to attend Elsie Muir’s concert at Carnegie Hall next week. I said that I would and bid Monk farewell. I continued on down the road until I came to Rita Pfaffinger’s modern farm. I stopped and visited with Rusty, who informed me that Jeanne Comstock had married a Philadelphia architect. 1 also learned that Cathy Bucnz was happily married and living in her new home. Promising Rusty that I would stop by again soon, I proceeded to Mary Anne Blair’s spacious farm. 1 was greeted at the door of the colonial farmhouse by Kathy McCabe, who told me she was training hunters for Mary Anne. She said that I would find Dusty in the dairy barn caring for her prize herd of cattle. Mary Anne and I discussed her recent showing of Guernsey calves; I then decided it was time to start home. I made one last stop at the mayor's office to compliment Beth on her fine town of New Ambler. She said she was quite pleased also but couldn't have succeeded without the aid of Linda Lukacheck, who had drawn the plans for the whole town. Linda was now working as a designer in the office next to Beth’s. I thanked them and drove back to my helicopter. As I flew home, I felt very proud of the class of 1958. 21 Best Regards.

I J When the Class ot ’59 boarded the bus of higher education for a two-year tour of the School of Horticulture, we senior passengers welcomed them aboard with initiations, refreshments, and frequent hours of fun. Helping them get settled for the interesting trip ahead was both a busy and felicitous experience. Two of the most impressive stops along the way were the clever halloween party and the May formal. 24 Attention! Front to bock: Vc v Vm . LiucUc Ou. VswuqVo SuiuV'x, SVxcun Lough.

With Monk’s chauffeur's license and Nero's good humor. We shall not forget Marion Ammann, Jean Bellmeyer. Susie White. Julia Datcr. and Marilyn Suawn who helped paint our golden freshmen days. Yearbook Staff After long hours of snapping pictures, seeking advertisements, and compiling literary and artistic contributions, the staff of Wise Acres created the ’58 yearbook. Mary Mills Carter, our persevering editor, pleasantly performed a difficult job; her continuous prompting kept us mindful of our yearbook duties. The actual organization of the ‘‘dummy was a stimulating experience, which we will long remember. A special thank you goes to our diligent typist. Student Council The members of the council helped create harmony among the students and order in the dormitory. At their meetings with Dean Fisher and President French, they tried their best to solve our difficulties. Jeanne Comstock, president of Student Council; Kathy McCabe, president of the senior class; Beth Higgins, representative of the senior class; Lois Klockner, president of the freshmen class, and Linette Oil, representative of the freshmen class, have held these important positions. Social Service The social service club, headed by Monica Moran, once again brought happiness to those less-fortunate. At Thanksgiving and Christmas the members surprised needy families with baskets containing the ingredients for complete turkey dinners. In the spring they transformed bare Philadelphia window boxes into miniature gardens. The club’s annual auction, complete with persuading Mr. Zutter, provided several hilarious hours and funds for next year’s gifts of happiness. 28 Glee Club Better the world with a song.” On Tuesday evenings the members of the Glee Club assembled to vocalize under the direction of Mr. Connor. President Mary Carter promoted well-organized rehearsals at which two fine concerts were prepared. The chorus enhanced the Christmas spirit by presenting a festive December recital; they concluded a year of singing fun” with a jubilant spring program. Harvester Staff All the news that’s fit to enjoy” was printed in this year's Harvester. The diligent staff members spent many painstaking hours compiling information and typing it up for our reading enjoyment. A hearty thanks to Mrs. YVoodington, who published the issues. The freshmen are to be congratulated for their splendid issue dedicated to the seniors. Music Club Every other Monday evening the members of the Music club relaxed and listened to notes instead of studying them. President Beth Higgins stressed the appreciation of all types of music by playing melodies ranging from Strauss waltzes to hits of the Roaring 20’s. Dean Fisher, the club’s sponsor, held a delightful meeting at her cottage one wintry evening; other treats, including the Philadelphia Orchestra Student Concerts, rounded out a refreshing musical program. 29 Camera Club The dark room was frequented by ambitious camera club members throughout the year. Mr. Segal anti president Hope Gandy aided them in the development and enlargement of many pictures, including portraits. Among the projects of the club was the printing of Christmas cards adorned with various campus scenes. Busy hours with the developing equipment flourished into improved photographic skills. Activities Committee Socials with various colleges, formal dances, and exhaustive square dances enlivened many a Friday and Saturday evening, thanks to the tireless efforts of the activities committee. Numerous phone calls and student body meetings kept them busy as they planned these social functions with the assistance of Dean Fisher. Visions of military uniforms, punch bowls, and challenging shuffleboard games will linger among our pleasant memories of P. S. of H. Athletic Club A new interest in ping-pong arose when president Irene Mazur organized a tournament for the sport; the winning title was bestowed upon Peggy Boyd. Tennis continued in its popularity, especially during the spring months. Several members of the club took trips to Trenton, New Jersey to exercise their “bowling muscles.” These healthful activities developed latent sporting spirits as well as keener appetites. 30 Dairy Club Riding Club The 1957-’58 Dairy Club has played an important role in maintaining trim cows in the barn. The members, under the supervision of president Mary Anne Blair, began early to prepare for the annual dairy show. Practice showings, clippings, brushings, and washings kept the cows on their toes for many months. The showing skills exhibited at the show in May assured confidence and enthusiasm for future dairy programs. This year's tiding club members have sincerely appreciated Mr. Pugh's everpresent guidance and assistance. The horse-enthusiasts enjoyed many a brisk jaunt over the picturesque Ambler countryside as well as invigorating lessons in the ring. Robin Hood and High Bit moved into the stables at the end of ’57. Frequent riding and fine horsemanship were inspired by the club's energetic president, Anne Clifford. 31 Stimulation Concentration MY Propagation Conversation Exaspiration Determination Relaxation Operation Conservation Education Hesitation BEST WISHES to the Class of 58 Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dater and Family UPLAND FARM Cummingfon — Massachusetts Commando s Pretty Buttermaid — 2071739 U.
