MARIAN STEFANO edimiivu To Mrs. Marian Stefano we pause to dedicate our 1949 Griffing lest we forget her kindness to all, her interest in us as individuals, her sacrifices to our class as a whole, and her untiring endeavors to gilcl everything with success. A warm spot in all our hearts will be reserved for this first lady of Perkiomen School. A person worthy of so humble a dedication.

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own worksg for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him ? -Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3, Verses 15, 22 MR. ALBERT E. ROGERS To The Class of 1949:- School has often been called a preparation for something , but a good school must represent more than this distant objective. School is life here and now as the verses in Ecclesiastes indicate. School's experiences are Life's experiences in a modified form. A school contains the same complex problems in social living as exist in society outside the class- room today. Successes arid failures confront us in a kaleidoscopic procession of vital events. Despair overwhelms us at times of scholastic failure. Compensatory exhilaration and enthusiasm lift us up when work is well done and we achieve success in the classroom, the athletic field or in the multiform activities of extra-curricular work. Personality conflicts and social tension are as readily discernible in the classroom, dormitory and hall as on Main Street or in Third Street Alley beyond the railroad tracks. Your likes and dislikes How and ebbg some classmates get on your nervesg other col- leagues you emulate and cultivate their friendship. Teachers are human and vary in their imprint on your personality and development. Sometimes you are impervious to their teaching because you do not like the subject and seen no prac- tical value. Life is full of trivialities and daily routine whose practical effect upon our development is not apparent at the time. Other teachers inspire you. You are uplifted and carried beyond the precincts of the classroom. With joyous adventures in English, history, mathematics and science, school becomes a successful, happy environment. Yes, school is Life with all Life's vicissitudes. Keep your eyes upward for inspirational leadership. Pray to God for courage, strength and ultimate success. He will never forsake you if you are really trying. May all Life's journeys and stopping places be as pleasant as you have made Perkiomen for us this year. Our best wishes to all of you! ALBERT E. ROGERS Headmafler Page Ten 1 MR, KEHS MR. ROTHENBERGIZR MR. ROGERS MR. SMITH MR. HORN Page Flcvcn IRWIN W. KEHS, Ph.B. Muhlenberg College Senior Mailer Direrlor of Courier Matlaematirf For any one to attempt to combine into a few words all that can and should be said about Mr. Kehs is impossible. Looking back through all the previous editions, we find it difficult to be original. Mr. Kehs has been here so long that he is now accepted as being immortal in the annals of Perkiomen. Many acquaintances comes and pass ong but to us, the memory of Mr. Kehs shall remain as long as we live. HENRY GOODMAN A. SMITH, A.B., A.M. Swarthmore College University of Pennsylvania University of Illinois Foreign Languagef, Airirturzl Director of Courier To everyone here at school, the Head of our Foreign Language Depart- ment, is known as Smitty . A better instructor and all around master couldn't be had. Smitty took first honors at the State Bridge Tournament, and third at the National. During his stay in college he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. Besides his regular duties as master, he finds time to coach our Tennis Team and instruct our Bridge Club. CALVIN H. RUTH, B.A.A. Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art Art It is said that all good things come in small packages. This saying can very suitably be applied to Calvin Ruth. Although Mr. Ruth has quiet ways, one would never know that this man of small stature has such a tremendous amount of skill at his disposal. When he received his B.A.A. degree at Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art, he was awarded with it the Baugh Barbara Prize in Ceramics. At present, Mr. Ruth is furthering his education at Stella Elkins Tyler School of Fine Arts, study- ing for his Master's degree. CLAUDE K. HARLEY Combs College of Music Muiic No matter who the student at Perkiomen is, he invariably comes in con- tact with Mr. Harley. Each morning as we enter Chapel we hear the smooth mellow tones of the organ played by Mr. Harley's adept fingers. As we sit and listen to the various refrains, a peaceful feeling descends upon us. Through him we have learned the value of music and how to appreciate it. Page Twelve D. BRUCE LYTLE, A.B. Shippensburg Normal School Susquehanna University Duke University Science, Director of Summer School Do you like science and math or enjoy singing in a glee club? Mr. Lytle is an ardent lover of all three. His quick way of solving problems never fails, and in using his system, he impresses his students with the necessity of speed and accuracy. Although the sciences are his favorite, he has a soft spot in his heart for good music, as sung by our chorus, in which he is very active. JAMES F. QUIGG, B.A. West Chester State Teachers College Director of Athletics' If any one on the Perkiomen campus is interested in learning how to play soccer or how to wrestle, the man to be consulted is Perkiomen's expert, namely, James F. Quigg, the very capable coach of wrestling and soccer. In addition to being Director of Athletics, he teaches Physical Education and General Science very efficiently. Jimmy believes jimmy in the old saying, Be a Man. RAYMOND O. SPENCER Indiana State Teachers College Social Studier, Mathematica' This year Mr. Spencer's time has been devoted chiefly to mathematics. Trying to develop a business sense in some of the students has proved an almost insurmountable problem. However, as a result of his fortitude and patience, the task is nearing completion. When speaking to Mr. Spencer about future business men, we notice a smile of success stealing across his face. LLOYD L. STUTZMAN, B.A., M.A. Gettysburg College University of Berlin University of Marburg Foreign Languager Mr. Stutzman is a member of the Language Department here at school. When the Spanish boys arrive at school Mr. Stutzman takes them under his wing and teaches them the fundamentals of English. Besides his teaching duties, Mr. Stutzman is the coach of the baseball team. Page Thirteen CHARLES S. BAKER, B.S. Lock Haven State Teachers College Ellglirb Mr. Baker, we sometimes think, could have done exceptionally well writ- ing for Bob Hope. His easy manner and ready smile lets one believe that life is that proverbial Bowl of Cherries . XWe need a good end , can be accredited to George as he is sometimes referred to by the Faculty. MRS. C. Z. HUNTZINGER, B.S., M.Ed. Kutztown State Teachers College Pennsylvania State College Remedial Reading W D0 you have a hard time with the classics? Do you find it difficult to interpret passages from various selections? Drop into the Remedial Read- ing Room to see Mrs. Huntzinger. She is more than willing to help any lost soul out from the depths of ignorance. XVILLIAM V. YOUNG, BS., M.Ed. XWest Chester State Teachers College Duke University Science While you sit and dream, as most of us are prone to do, questions arise as to why this and why that. Lf you are incapable of comprehending the physical things about you, see Mr, Young. As our physicist, Mr. Young will answer all your questions from a wealth of knowledge he has in store. Be your question practical or otherwise, you will get an answer worthy of your question. RICHARD WEIKEL, B.S. University of Pennsylvania Social Studier Ever since man was, so was history. Making students realize the import- ance of the past and present in an arduous task. To rid such a subject of monotony is still harder. But through the hardiwork and efficient plan- ning of Mr. Weikel, much has been done to instill the necessity of history and to relieve this subject of its so-called boring atmosphere. Page Fourteen PAUL E. HORN, B.S. West Chester State Teachers College Dean Mf1tl1emati:.r, Barkelball Coach One of the most diflicult tasks in any school is that of a disciplinarian. Meting out justice impartially, Dean Horn very capably carried out the duties of his office. Along with his duties as mathematics instructor, Mr. Horn coached our basketball team through a very successful season. At present he is studying for his Master's at Lehigh University. JOSEPH W. SNYDER, A.B., A.M. Bucknell University University of Pennsylvania Englifb Mr. Snyder is a master who would like to classify English as an exact science. Believing in what he teaches, he is very meticulous. There are no two ways about English, only one-the right one: and he has been quite successful in imparting that doctrine into his students. MEREDITH RUSSELL, A.B., A.M. Yale University Montclair, New Jersey State Teachers College Englirln Mr. Russell is a comparative newcomer to Perkiomen. As Head of our English Department, he has the duty of seeing that we depart from these hallowed halls with a vocabulary plus a grammatical sense behtting a graduate of Perkiomen. English, which for most of us is a dry subject, has been brightened considerably since his arrival. As the years pass on, we students shall endeavor to prove that his efforts were not in vain. GEORGE HEDDY, B.S. Colgate University Mathemazinr Caarb of Foolball Mr. Heddy came to Perkiomen at the start of the Summer Session. The word speed seems written all over him. In the classroom he handles hgures like a magician-occasionally handling them so dextrously that we poor students are mystilied. However, when the performance is over, we leave the classroom with the secrets of the profession instilled in our minds. Page Fifteen JOHN G. SCHUMAKER, A.B., M.S. Kutztown State Teachers College Muhlenberg College Lehigh University Science, Malbemalicr Many a student has tried to match wits with Mr. Schumaker. but the latter's dry humor and unique sarcasm is too much for any pupil in Perk- iomen to cope with. If this teacher of Chemistry and Algebra can endure the odors of gases like Fluorine, Chlorine, and Hydrogen Sulfide, class after class, that is proof in itself that he is capable of mastering almost any variety of situations. ALFRED C. AARONS, B.A., M.A. University of Richmond Columbia University University of Grenoble F orei gn Languager Would you care to learn to speak Spanish? Under the tutelage of Mr. Aarons, I am sure, any one could learn. He is one of the most con- scientious and exacting of the masters. When he accepts any responsi- bility he sees to it that it is accomplished. Nothing escapes his so-called eagle eye. DOROTHY STAUDT BAKER, B.S. New York University Direczar of Glee Club Mrs. Baker is in charge of our illustrious Glee Club. She is a resident of Pennsburg. Twice a week she gives up her evening to hold practice in the Chapel. The turnout for the Glee Club has been quite large, enabling Mrs. Baker to select a well-balanced group. Besides the Glee Club, she has organized the Octet, which has sung at numerous gatherings throughout the Perkiomen Valley. We want to thank Mrs. Baker for the time and patience she has given to the Glee Club. Page Sixteen WAYNE H. ROTHENBERGER, B.S., M.S.A. Cornell University Financial Secretary One of the oldest and most respected men of Perkiomen is our Financial Secretary, Wayne Rothenberger. The arduous task of keeping account of all income and expenditure is left solely to him. On Mr. Rothenberger is also placed the responsibility of keeping my money and yours handy for the week-ends. To him, slight of stature, but having the strength of Atlas, we offer our sincere congratulations for all the amenities shown to us. INIARGUERITE KRAUSS Allentown Business College A.Y.fi.fldlZl Fimznriul Secretary Miss Krauss, along with her duties as Assistant Financial Secretary, has the tedious job of teaching some of us business men the art of punching keys properly. She has been with the School for quite a number of years. Naturally, after all these years of association with groups of fellows such as we, she treats impartially all our whims. Always, her smiling counte- nance, eternally pleasant, meets every situation calmly and effectively. MRS. MARGUERITE BLATT HORN, B.S., M.A. New York University, Rutgers University School Pxyflaologift Mrs. Horn is one of the staff, who although constantly busy, is very seldom seen or heard-orally that is. She has, during the course of years, attended no less than six colleges or universities. As a part of her work as School Psychologist, she has the important duty of testing. College Boards, Cooperative Tests, and Entrance Examinations to Perkiomen-all are under her exacting administration. MRS. FLORENCE PFLIEGER Allentown Business College Prirfafe Secretary to Mr. Rogerr Did you ever notice that quiet, business-like young lady in the oflice next to the Headmastefs? Her desk is conveniently placed so as to afford her easy access to Mr. Rogers' office. Watching her fingers as she ripples over the keys of her typewriter seems to bring on a hypnotic effect. Were we to have a private secretary, for our own, we would have one emulating Mrs. Pflieger. Page Seventeen MRS. MARIAN STEFANO Cedar Crest College Dining Room Supervisor, Arsirlanz Librarian Direclrerr of Social Activities Do you ever get that low feeling? The kind that makes you feel as if you were Charles Atlas. My personal advice is for you to see Mrs. Stefano immediately. There's no one in the School for whom she dOCSI'1't have a particular place in her heart. Always smiling and always with a good word for every one. She has placed us all in her debt. MRS. LAURA B. HOUSER, R.N. Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia Home Mother, Refident Nurre Did you ever return to your room after classes and find a blue card ? Mrs. Houser's duties as Housemother take her into part of the life of each one of us. Besides reminding us of our evil ways, she can be seen supervising the dining hall on various days throughout the week. Mrs. Houser, who is a registered nurse, lives up to Ben Franklin's saying, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as can be seen by the way she administers to the ailing. MISS OLGA RUTH HRISKO, R.N. Allentown General Hospital Kericlenl Nurse The common saying, or name, Angel of Mercy could not be more ap- propriately applied to a nurse. At times, however, some of us may get the notion of changing that to Angel of the Devil . Although Miss Hrisko enjoys good humor, there is no humor in the precision-like ways in which she goes about her duties. MRS. THELMA BAKER Public Relalionr Remember that catalogue you received when you first wrote to the School? You may not realize it, but countless thousands have been posted by this busy little secretary. Taking care of correspondence seems to be one of the heaviest tasks performed hy Mrs. Baker. Any information re- quested is properly returned with a cheerie smile. JANE 1. HALL Centenary junior College Secretary to Director of Courier Miss Hall came to Perkiomen near the start of the Fall term. Although she was strange to her surroundings, she struck right in at the core of her duties. Needless to say, she has proved to be very proficient. No Worries for the students about their transcriptsg promptness is a virtue-personified. 714 Appreciation HS IRWIN W. KEHS TO THE CLASS OF 1949 Permit me to greet you with a quotation from Emerson: Without halting, without rest, lifting better up to best. We are all working to attain a desired end, but I am sorry to say sometimes that end is evil, but if Perkiomen School has taught you to follow the quotation of Emerson, you shall leave this world better because you have lived in it. You must produce originality. We say life is made up of innumerable cycles. You do not have to follow the same old cycle as your parents did, but find a new cycle for the betterment of the community in which you live. New things should be forthcoming. The world looks to you young men. Be humble, realize that you are just beginning your education. It will make you anxious to lift yourself up to something better without halting. You will have to face many hard problems but most of you will meet them courageously. There is no substitute for regular, persistent hard work and through it you achieve success and happiness. Hap- piness comes from doing your work well. You must assume responsibility, must have opinions based on facts and then make careful decisions based upon sound judgment. I am glad of the little help that I was able to give you and my very best wishes go with you. The doors of Perkiomen shall always be open to you to come back for help and guidance. It was a real pleasure to be your advisor and I am glad that I had the chance to work with you and let the friendships formed be life long-God Bless You! .XZWQZQUQJ Sw K1, U M' vm, ,,Yt ...J 1fL:.f1iQ gf 1.7 , k,.. 5 - 11.iTg31e. .. 1 gf- K .gmgl K 6 :MJ '-:: M it ii. .KK Q Q R, E ,s X . ,iyyfiuf -V if If W ,K A Q ',.

SOPHOMORE CLASS The size of the 1948-1949 Sophomore Class had a lot to do with the comparative quietness of this small group. Comprised of only twenty-one members, the class still managed to place a few members on the l-leadmaster's List and also on the various varsity squads throughout the year. The class advisor, Mr. Charles Baker, who is also known for his coaching talent, directed the boys through the year and to good results. Alan Brody was president of the class and did a line job. Other officers were Frank Hassay, Vice- President, Thomas Madden, Secretary, and Norman Levine, Treasurer. Most of these boys will be back for perhaps two more years, and as the class grows larger, it is probable that it may well be an outstand- ing graduating class in 1951. We, of this year's graduating class, expect to hear, in future reports, a great deal about the men of the Sophomore Class. We wish for them at this time all the best of luck and the best of marks in their coming years at Perkiomen. Page Fifty-six FRESHMAN CI-ASS I4'i'iml liow-In-fl to right-Valiiezs.

Coach Heddy, with his very able assistants Mr. Charles Baker fend coachj, and Mr. Richard Wei- kel Qline coachj, started to build up his team. Having only a handful of holdovers from the previous year, the coaches were to find the building of a formidable eleven a challenging project. On Saturday, October 2nd a scrappy Perkiomen eleven lost their opener 25-0, to an experienced team from Valley Forge M.A. A few substantial gains by Billy Bock and john Bednarik were the extent of Perki's tardy offense. The following Saturday, October 9th, saw the Indians break into the win column with a 19-6 victory over Bordentown M.I. Perki's offense began clicking with backs Ortelli and O'Brien and ends Kellar and Duval following the way, paved by the strong forward wall. The defense kept the cadets, offensive in check all afternoon. A long completed pass in the end zone was the only score Bordentown could tally. Saturday, October 16th, was a dark day for the home forces. This day saw the Perki's suffer their second defeat in three starts at the hands of Bullis Prep School, 45-0. Fighting gallantly the first half, the Page Sixty Perki players saw their hopes for victory fade, as four of their first stringers were injured and taken from the field. From then on, it was all Bullis. Friday night, October 22nd, brought another victory back to old Perkiomen as her staunch gridders tamed the Stevens Trademen from Lancaster, Penna. Stevens, completely outclassed, could never get with- in scoring range, while Perki's offense found the range three times. After a scoreless first period, Perki- omen churned 70 yards in eight plays for a touchdown. Ed Ortelli, Bill Bock and Bill Allen ripped four first downs, with Ortelli going over from the five yard mark. The second drive started with a 25 yard pass, OlBrien to Kellar, setting up the touchdown scored by Blosser. In the third period Ken Davis inter- cepted a pass on the opponent's 42 yard line, and again Bock and Ortelli chalked up first downs, moving the ball to the 7 yard stripe. Davis scored on a pass from Ortelli, Blosser kicked the extra point. Alumni Homecoming Day, October 30, was a glorious one for Perkiomen. The old Grads watched the Indians trounce Wyoming Seminary 20-6. Sparked by Eddie Ortelli, stellar halfback, Perki opened up its double-wing offensive and scored one touchdown in the second period and two more in the third. A 10 yard pass Ortelli to Davis, opened the scoring. A 30 yard sprint by halfbacl: Bill Allen and a pass, Or- telli to Duval, completed the alma mater's scoring. Blosser kicked the two extra points. Wyoming's lone score came on a 72 yard dash by halfback Thomas. Perkiomen traveled next to the battlegrounds of the Lehigh Freshman at Bethlehem, Penna., on Novem- ber Sth. This engagement proved to be Perkiomenfs best game of the year, but the team had to be satis- fied with a tie game. A beautiful 45 yard pass, Ortelli to Davis, gave the hometeam its first score, with O'Brien running over for the extra point. Late in the second quarter, Lehigh scored on a straight line buck and converted accurately to tie the gamer' The third quarter saw both teams battle up and down the held without a tally on either side. Early in the fourth quarter Perkiomen broke the deadlock with a touchdown, Ortelli passing to Duval. With only two minutes remaining, Lehigh scored a second touch- down. The extra point was blocked by three on-rushing Perki lineman. Again the score was tied with less than two minutes to play. The Indians fought gallantly in Lehigh territory to the last second, but could not score. The Perkiomen Indians closed their 1948 season on the Franklin and Marshall field on Saturday, No- vember 13th. The Perkis lost to a strong, experienced team by the score of 26-12. Although plagued all season by injuries, the Perki griddcrs gave a good account of themselves, but could not cope with the powerful machine from F. and M. At the close of the season the Indians elected their captain. Their unanimous choice was Chris LaCaruba, who without a doubt was inspiration and dependability personified. On Saturday, December 11, the Perkiomen gridders, along with the soccer team, were feted at the annual Purple and Gold banquet. Mr. Irwin W. Kehs served as toastmaster and introduced the evenings guest speaker, Mr. E. E. f Rip j Miller of the U. S. Naval Academy. Some of the points Mr. Miller covered in his speech were sportsmanship, fighting spirit, and playing worthwhile opponents. He also told a few amusing stories about people famous in sports. Other speakers included Mr. Paul Shaw, assistant football coach at Lafayette, and Ken Hay, Philadelphia Inquirer sports writer. Mr. Albert E. Rogers, Headmaster, also extended his greetings. Letters were awarded by Mr. Heddy and Mr. Quigg to their respective teams. At the end of the presenta- tion of the varsity letters, Captain LaCaruba presented gifts of appreciation to the three football coaches on behalf of the team. To coach Heddy, his very able assistants, Mr. Weikel and Mr. Baker, and to the team, we wish to offer our congratulations for a job well done. 19-48+SCHEDULE-1949 Perkiomefz Oflflllllelll Oct. 2-Valley Forge M.

A good number of men reported, but the squad lacked power in returning lettermen. Witli a group of inexperienced but willing men, Coach Ouigg started to build up his team for the tough schedule ahead. On October 8 the Perkiomen booters faced their first 1948 opponent, the Bethlehem High School Hur- ricanes. Bethlehem, with a more experienced and more advanced team, downed the home forces 3-l on the Perkiomen field. Halfback Ralph Teran made the only score for the home team. October 11 saw defeat come to the Perki booters for the second consecutive game. North Wtiles High School afforded the opposition, winning 3-1, Teran again supplied the Indians' only goal. The boys played good ball but could not cope with the alert, experienced North Wales team. The next contest, on October 15, was the high spot of the season. On this afternoon they played the Red- Knightsn of Reading High School reputed one of the best high-school soccer teams in the State. Playing brilliantly, the Indians scored a field goal late in the second period, with R. Teran dribbling all the way for the goal, and held this slim lead magnificently for the remainder of the game. The final score read 1-O Page Sixty-two in favor of Perkiomen. Goalie Harry Sheble and fullbacks Fred Groshens and john Cramp were the main- stays on the Indians' defensive, while Teran, Dick Spivack, Bing Arbeloa, and Ricardo Gonzalez were carrying the brunt of the hometeam's offensive. This was the first victory and the only win the Indians could capture throughout the rigorous schedule. . October 19, the Indians' next fracas was a return match with Bethlehem High Hurricanes on the Bethle- hem field. The Hurricanes again proved themselves to be the masters in a 3-0 decision. Despite futile attempts by Teran and Gonzales to score, the Perkis just couldn't get going and had to be satisfied with playing on the defensive all afternoon. Perkiomens next opponent was the Lehigh Frosh team, whom they played on October 22 at Perkiomen. The Indians were no match for the fleet-footed, well-balanced Freshmen. The score might indicate a com- plete routg butthe homesters were not to be outdone for they fought courageously to the end and never for one moment gave up hope. The final tally read Lehigh 4, Perkiomen 0. On Friday, October 29, Perkiomen engaged in a return match with the Red Knights of Reading High School. This time the homesters were on the short end of a 2-1 count when the final whistle blew. They played on even terms with the Knights all through the game until the last two minutes, when Reading made the last desperate effort to break a 1-1 deadlock. The Red Knights failed, and the game went into an extra period. The two teams battled tooth and nail but could not push across a game win- ning goal. The game then proceeded into the second overtime canto. Midway through this period Read- ing finally tallied its second and game-winning goal from the field. The Perkiomen soccer team played its last game on Friday, November 4, against West Chester State Teach- ers College Freshmen. The Indians tried desperately to bring their last game under the win column, but the Teachersl' were too strong and experienced for the homesters. Coach Quigg cleaned the bench and gave the entire squad a chance to play in this final game. The Perkis fought a losing battle and the final count read West Chester 4-Perkiomen 0. The season as a whole considering all the circumstances was a success although the results of the schedule would not imply a successful season. The boys, who were inexperienced, worked hard and always fought down to the last second of play. Good sportsmanship was their motto, and they never let it down. Early in the season the team as a whole elected a captain. Their unanimous choice was Fred Groshens, who was probably the most experienced on the squad. From his fullback position he led his team ably and was an inspiration to his teammates in the clutch. Defensively he ranked with the best and saved many a score against Old Perkiomenn. The annual Purple and Gold Banquet for the soccer and football squads on December 11 rang down the final curtain on the 1948 soccer campaign. Mr. Irwin W. Kehs served as toastmaster and introduced the speakers and the respective coaches. The main speaker of the evening was Mr. E. E. Rip Miller, Assis- tant Director of Athletics at the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. He commented on the rigor- ous schedules which naval athletic teams play and why they play them. Mr. Miller said, we meet Yale in swimming, and Lehigh in wrestling, so in football we feel that only the best competition should be met. When in war, you can't pick your opponent, whether he is tough or not, so we feel that meeting the best is ideal training for our future naval officers . Following Mr. Miller's speech, greetings were extended by Albert E. Rogers, Headmaster of the School. Presentation of the varsity P's', by the respective coaches to their teams and presentation of gifts by the captains, Fred Groshens, soccer, and Chris LaCaruba, football, was followed by dancing in Kehs Hall.

The real practice didn't start until the football season had been wrapped up, The coach made a few cuts, and slowly but surely a team began to take shape. Mr. Heddy came out to help the practices along, and he has done a line job all season. The team was at full strength with thirteen players and two managers. Our first game proved to be a heartbreaker. One Thursday night in December we ventured up to Rockne Hall in Allentown to take on the Muhlenberg Freshmen in the preliminary game before the Brigham Young-Muhlenberg tussle. We led till there were two minutes left and then fell behind and lost, S7-ii. Weiss and Redmond had 27 points between them. The following two games were no more than workouts for the Perki varsity. We trounced North Witles twice, at home and away, by the scores of 74-19 and 541-10. In the first game Redmond had Zl points, and in the latter Duval had 17. Page Sixty-four just before the vacation, we played the West Chester Freshmen at home. The Indians were hot, and .at the final whistle we had a five point advantage. The score was 68-63 with Pizalato gathering 26 big ones, and Redmond 23. It was a big day for our high-scoring twins. Valley Forge M. A. was the next victim, and they left the Perkiomen Valley very disheartened. Redmond had 19, Pete Kellar and Pizalato each had 16 in a 74-43 run-away. Lehigh Freshmen came down to Alma Mater to try to break our four-game-win streak but they fell short, by 15 points, of leaving here victorious. The big guns were as usual Piz, with 29 and Redmond with 14. We then went down to Hill School in Pottstown on a cold Saturday in january. We were slow getting started but finally got rolling and won by a score of 46-31. Big Pete Kellar had 12 and Bobby Piz had 11. The Allentown High game was a very important one to win, but, as luck would have it, the men of Perkiomen had their worst night of the year. We never got started, and ended up on the short end of a 48-39 score. Redmond and Bunnell had 25 between them. The following Saturday we went to Stevens Trade School in Lancaster. It was a nice trip and would have been better had we won. Our defense was a great deal less than sensational, and Stevens had two hot shots who racked up 31 and 27 points. The score was 73-63, with Bobby Pizalato having 26 points. Reading Central Catholic was next, and for the third straight time we failed. The final count was 43-35, with Red and Kellar having 23 points of the 35. Finally we played a home game, and it was Wyoming Seminary who felt the power of our vengeance. Piz had 22, Red 12, and Ortelli 11 in a 77-47 triumph. We had, at last, won our seventh fracas. It took four tries. The first Tuesday in February we boarded a bus for Annapolis, Md. to play the Plebes. It was a three- day trip. We had a grand time, but we didn't win.The final score was 63-495 Big Pete had 15, Red 12, and Piz 10. Things looked black with Lafayette, Bethlehem, and St. joe's as our next foes, but at this point we really started to move. Lafayette fell in the most exciting game of the year. The regulation game ended at 49-49, and in the after piece we scored ten to their nine. Eddie Ortelli was fouled with two seconds left in the overtime and the score deadlocked. He sank the foul, and Lafayette tasted defeat for the first time this season. High for Perki were Piz with 15 and Red with 10. Bethlehem came down to the East Greenville Gym expecting to knock us off, but were surprised. We were down six points at the half, but came roaring back to win 60-51. Piz was high man with 19, with Red and Bunnell having 23 together. The St. Joe game turned out to be the highest-scoring game of the year. At the half, the highly touted visitors from Philly were leading by 12 points, but again the Indians came back and copped their ninth win 83-72. Piz was high again with 22. Moving away from home in search of that other win, we went to Bordentown M. I. in New Jersey. It was a slow game. Bunnell had 11 and Hotchkin 10, in a ragged 49-38 triumph. Page Sixty-five We took Bethlehem for the second time, but now on their home court. We led all the way, and the final score was 47-36. High were Piz and Keller with 23 between them. Valley Forge gave us a rough tussle before succumbing by a 54-48 score. Red with 16 and Hotch 15 were the big guns in a very tight ball game. One of the most important games turned out to be one of the most exciting. Also Reading C. C., with 15 wins in a row, came to East Greenville. We had won six straight. We led by as much as 21 points in the third quarter. They closed in toward the end, but the final score read 50-45. Big Pete Kellar had his hottest night of the season, jamming 21 points through the hoop. The wind-up of the regular season was played at XX'yoming Seminary. It turned out to be a runaway for the Purple and Gold. The score was 77-50, with Redmond high man with 16 markers, and Ortelli and Kellar with 13 each. The trip to the Glens Falls Tournament didn't turn out too well. The first night we were victorious over Cartaret Prep from jersey. The game was a tough one and ended 55-51 in our favor. The following night we met Dean Academy from Massachusetts and were beaten 52-39. This loss put us in the consola- tion game the final night of the tourney. ln that game against All-Hallows from New York City we started slowly again. At one time we trailed by 16 points but surged in the end. We fell short by six points. The score was 53-47. All in all a successful season fifteen wins and five losses, was brought to a close with the election of Bob Weiss, diminutive floor general, captain.

A good number of aspirants answered although there were no returning lettermen or boys with very much experience. Despite this fact. Coach Quigg started to train his grapplers for the tough schedule ahead. The Perlciomen matmen went into their schedule with high spirits and confidence in themselves but could not cope with their more experienced opponents. Facing such teams as Penn Frosh. Lehigh Frosh, Navy Plebes, and Lafayette Frosh. all of whom have traditionally strong wrestling squads the homesters could not make an admirable record. At the end of the season their record read one victory, four defeats, and one tie. In their lone victory they defeated the University of Delaware Frosh on February 5. On February 12 they tied a stubborn Lafayette Frosh team. On March 4 and S sev- eral Perkiomen matmen represented their school at the annual Lehigh Wfrestling Tournament for prep schools. Meeting some of the best wrestling material in this part of the country, the Perki boys failed to place in any event. After they rang down the curtain on their schedule. the grapplers met to elect their captain. They bestowed this honor upon Richard Stone, who was a staunch and capable leader. Stone, with several others, will be on hand in the future to give Perkiomen a nucleus on which to build stronger teams. To these men and their coach, Mr. Quigg, we extend our congratulations for their line spirit and good sportsmanship. 1948-SCHEDULE-1949 january 15 Penn Freshmen 31 Perkiomen 3 january 23 Stevens Trade School 24 Perkiovnen 7 February 5 LT. of Delaware Fresh. 10 Perkiomen 28 February I2 Lafayette Freshmen I4 Perkiomen I4 February 19 Lehigh Freshmen 34 Perkiomen 0 February 26 Navy Plebes 28 Perkiomen 0 March 4 and 5 Lehigh Prep Tournament Page Sixty-seven B A S E B A.

March 30, Forty-tive enthusiastic boys, some experienced and some not, answered the initial call, and the 1949 season got into full swing. After giving each boy a fair chance to show his wares, the coaching staff cut its squad to twenty men. Lengtliy hat- ting and throwing drills were stressed most. Outfielders and infielders were put through thorough, well-planned fielding drills, While the pitchers and catchers started to work together in order to form strong batteries to lead the team into its tough schedule with some of the best baseball schools in this section of the country. Early in the season, Catcher Robert Blosser was elected by his fellow teammates to lead the team afield. Bob, who is at well-seasoned ball-player, has so far proved to be a capable leader for the Indian baseballers. With such fine material at all positions, and with the experienced coaching of Mr, Stutzman and Mr. Baker, we feel that the 1949 season has a fine chance to establish an enviable record here at Perkiomen School. We are sure that the boys will be a credit to the school, the coaches, and themselves hy living up to the standard of good sportsmanship which has always been a part of Perkiomen athletics. XX'hen they take the field, they may be sure that they have the full support and best wishes of the student body and faculty. 1948-SCHEDULE-1949 7 April 13 Hill School May Allentown Central Catholic April 20 Lehigh Freshmen May Valley Forge M.

XXf'orking under the handicap of an unfinished track, Mr. Weikel and his able assistant, George Heddy, rounded the cin- dermen into fine shapeg and the hopes are high for the tough meets of the year, Seven meets have been scheduled and also the Penn Relays. The boys have their work cut out for them when on May 7 they tangle with Valley Forge in the morning and then proceed to the George School Interscholastics in the afternoon. The season closes on May 25 with Pennington School from jerseyg but before then we know that boys like Asen and Davis in the dashes, Pete Kellar with the discus and shot-put, George Hotchin in the high jump, and XX'osczna in the distance tests will have proven that they can bring home the bacon to their Alma Mater. 1948-SCHEDULE-1949 April Z9 Penn Relays May 14 Reading Central May 7 Valley Forge M.

Under the watchful eye of Coach Henry Smith, a good number of boys began to practice in preparation for the coming season. Most of the boys have had very little experi- ence in action, but they have the determination to learn and the will to win. After having completed a few weeks of warm-up drills and matches, Coach Smith began elimination matches to decide who was to represent our school in competition. The six boys who survived this tournament and proved themselves efficient will get the nod for starting berths, but the elimination matches will go on throughout the season. In this way any man on the squad who thinks he can beat one of the regulars will get his chance to acquire a position on the starting team. Although they play the best tennis material in their class, we feel sure that they will make their mark despite the few disadvantages which are present. The squad will not elect a captain until the close of the season, Until then, an individual captain will be named for each match. By doing this the boys will be able to elect as their captain a man who has proved himself a good player and a competent leader for the rest of the squad. To the coach and the members of the team, we offer our best wishes for a successful season. XXfe feel sure that they won't let the School down.

The league A bowlers, composed of the more experienced plus a faculty team, rolled on the alleys Wfed- nesday afternoon. League A's six teams were captained by LaCaruba, Prado, I-laretos, Garcia, Vlforhach, and Mr. Aarons of the faculty, A-1 to A-6 in that order. Team A-1 took the honors with the highest team average and the high triple, A-4 and A-5 came in second and third respectively. Prado, the lad from Venezuela, cornered the individual high with a nice 211. Captain Laflaruba netted the individual high average, 153.

Team B-51 with its pilot, Bob Baumann, came through with the highest team average. Bob also sacked away the individual high with 198 pins and the individual high average ot' l58. B-? copped the team high triple. The faculty, led by Mr. Aarons, supplied the cement to the whole system. lt was their good humor, their poor bowling, and their constant effort to remove themselves from the number four position that gave the students the incentive. Mr. Swencer, along with Mr. Horn, has the 'ratitude of the ke rlersn for suwl in Y the necessar' win- l A if Q is fn ll Y fa A l I bo 's. Witllout their able assistance the club would urobabl' have been stalemated several times. l l Y The prizes for both teams were distributed one afternoon at a meeting held expressly for that purpose. The awards were in cash and ranged from live dollars to one dollar. The dues or entrance fees were well spent when the entire group paraded with, Mr. Aarons right guid- ing , to the East Greenville cinema and enjoyed seeing, A Night at the Opera, starring The Marx Brothers. Witli the seeing ot' the film, the season was brought to a close. Page Seventy-tlmree BILLIARDS I+'r0nI liuw+l1-ft to rightAI.oln-l. Horak, Gulisehalk.

Witli this in mind, Mr. Young and Mr. Aarons, with the help of several others of the faculty staff, organized the bil- liard and bowling tournaments. Mr. Young took charge of the billiards and Mr. Aarons the bowling. Near the middle of january, the call went out for participants for the billiard contests, and some lifty boys answered the call. The tournament was run in two different ways. A ladder tournament in which every one participated and an elimination contest to determine the School champion. In the latter set-up any boy could challenge any one who was three places above him on the ladder. If the challenger won, he would assume his opponents position and his opponent would take over his previous position. Bob Kri- wer, Sam Goldstein, and Roger Lobel were the three highest men in the ladder tournament. Edmund Chin defeated Sam Goldstein in a hard-fought final match to take the elimination tournament. Chin and Goldstein received four and three dollars respectively from the manager of the Pennsburg Pool Hall, where all matches were run each Tuesday afternoon. We are grateful for the interest shown by members of the faculty in providing some sort of recreation for the student body during the long winter months.

GLEE CLUB Under the leadership of Mrs. Baker, who has unselfishly devoted her time and effort, the Perkiomen Glee Club. con- sidering the short time the members have worked together as a group, has done very well, Practice was conducted on Tuesday and XX ednesday nights. Many of the boys gave up their basketball and baseball games to attend these rehearsals. but they were often well rewarded with the compliments received from their gracious hosts. Their first public performance was made at the Pennsburg High School, where they sang four American ballads. Profiting by their first public appearance, they went on to a more serious type of music. singing two Bach chorals at the Penns- burg Reformed Church at the beginning of the Lenten Season. Many times the Glee Club called upon Lester Todd, the club soloist. His performances have added a very pleasant touch to each program. Wlien the Eastern Star of Allentown. Pennsylvania. asked Mrs. Baker to bring the Glee Club to one of their meetings, Mrs. Baker formed an octet because the Eastern Star Hall wasn't large enough to hold the entire Glee Club. Since then the Octet has sung for the Lions Club of Pennsburg and the Business and Professional XXfomen's Club of the Upper Perkiomen Valley, doing exceptionally well both times. Once a month the Glee Club performs during the morning Chapel Service. Mr. Lytle, faculty advisor of the Glee Club, has directed some excellent Chapel programs that were enjoyed by everyone. At the beginning of the year the Glee Club was in need of a young man who would regularly devote a good part of his time to accompaniment work. Mr. James Porter accepted this responsibility, and he has done an excellent job. Page Seventy-eight GRIFFIN STAFF Front Row-It-t't to I'lH'lll'7'l'lldll, Hunt.

GRIFFIN just before the Christmas vacation our president, Henry Decker, called a meeting of the Seniors and Post- Graduates to elect a staff for the 1949 Yearbook. A list of candidates selected by Mr. Russell and Mr. Snyder of our English Department was given to the class. From the prepared list the class elected the heads of various departments. A few weeks later, editor john Reagan canvassed the class for the remainder of the staff. After several informal gatherings were held, the final set-up was decided upon, and time for work to commence was at hand. Putting forth his best efforts, each one called upon every bit of knowledge he had in order to make this year's book a success. As editor of this book, Iwish to thank each and every member of the staff for his unfailing cooperation. Without it, the task would never have been completed. I hope you have had as much pleasure working with me as I have had with you. In the days to come, when you start reminiscing through our stay at School, I hope a feeling of deep and sincere satisfaction descends upon you as you turn the pages of this work, put together with your own unselfish efforts.

PERKIOMENITE The greatest of human rights-f-freedom of speech and freedom of the press, combine to form the greatest of powers-the newspaper. Corrupt it and you corrupt a nationg abuse it and you abuse a continent1 or enrich it and you enrich a world. With only the thought of enriching Perkiomen School, Mr. Snyder, our adviser, asked for volunteers early in October to utilize their talents in forming the finest newspaper yet to be published on Seminary Avenue. From the prodigious mass that turned out, sixteen boys were elected to serve faithfully and dili- gently for that purpose. Never before has a newspaper seen such scrambling to meet deadlines or such straining to squeeze out three hundred words. Nights on end were spent folding and mailing out issues to the nearly two thousand Alumni subscribers, let alone the reading, typewriting, caption making, and space setting. But then there followed praise and satisfaction in a job well done. ln departing we leave a word to all underclassmen . . . There is no organization in any school that can offer a boy more practical experience than a newspaper. If he works conscientiously, his compensation will be tenfoldg and this compensation is the reward of life itself. Page Eighty STUDENT COUNCIL St-atc-d-left to right-Strunk, R. Reed, Kerr. O'Rrif-n, Baumann. Standing-Stone, Booz. Lal'aruha, Duval, Shucavago. Ahdala. Prado, Shunk, Mr. Horn, Advisor. . STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, with Mr. Paul E. Horn as advisor, is composed of sixteen members: two from each floor of Kriebel Hall, Kehs Hall, Duyckinek, and South Cottage, and one from each of the outside houses, lmbody, Christman. and North Cottage. On the first Tuesday in October, the Council elected officers and set the weekly meeting night as Tuesday. Wfhen this business was accomplished, they adjourned and waited for their first case. The sessions are held in a manner similar to court procedure. with President Dave Kerr presiding as judge and each member serving as a juror, Each juror has one vote. After weighing all information, the group takes a vote to deter- mine the defendent's guilt or innocence. If the defendent is found guilty, sentence is passed. Sentences can range from complete suspension to a severe warning, depending upon the severity of the offense. Gaston Prado. one of the Spanish students, served as interpreter for the foreign students. Mr. Horn and the Council operate completely without bias, met- ing out punishment based entirely upon the graveness of the offense. Mr. Horn served merely as an advisory councilor and, although his word carried weight, the final decision still remained in the Councils hands. Dean Horn, with the Council's assistance, has helped to give Perkiomen School a clean, well-behaved, and industrious student body. Ffzfzzlfy Azl'1fii'o1'y Council ............ Dean Paul E.

PIPE AND GAME CLUB The years 1948 and 1949 will have been the most important in the annals of the Pipe and Game Clubg for in these two years have been set the precedents that will some day gain respect and admiration for the original members and the club itself. Witli our thoughts intent on the future, we have endeavored to place our club on a standing that will offer not only enjoyment but pride to the members who will follow us in the years to come. Under the direction of its capable adviser, Mr. Snyder, a central committee composed of eight boys was elected early in October. With the central committee as a spear head, the club placed special attention on the furnishing and develop- ment of its spacious clubroom in Kriebel Hall. Under the prudent advice of Mrs. Houser. durable but good-looking fur- niture was purchased and installed. The feature of the club was the bridge lessons given by the Pennsylvania State Bridge Champion, Mr. Henry Smith. The clubroom was open to members and their dates after school proms, and boys were invited to use it for a place in which to receive guests and parents. We hope it will always be the desire of the Pipe and Game Club's members to make their club as democratic as possible, but exclusive in the right that only boys who uphold the Perkiomen principles and the qualities of a gentle- man may belong.

Picture yourself. one hour earlier. rising, cleaning up. and going over to the dining hall, setting up tables for the oncoming tide of sleepy. but hungry students. just imagine, serving all that food when you havent eaten. Yes. the waiter may be the first to arise. but he is always the last to eat. Between 7:45 a. m. and 12:20 p. m. fnost of us have noticed. way down deep inside us. a pang. an ache. Yes. hunger has best us again. Remember though, you are a waiter: so after the last morning class, you rush over to the kitchen and set up your tables for the famished horde about to pounce upon you. XX'ith that angry growling going on below. your stomach has gotten the idea that your throat has been cut. You pay no heedg you go about your duties etticiently and smilingly till the last plate has been removed. Then and only then do you partake of lunch. After luneh you have ten minutes to prepare for the afternoon classes. The evening meal, dinner. is the best of all. That's when the waiter shines. He can have as much as he likes: all the desserts he can hold. But Wait. At 5:30 he is in the kitchen. XX'alt Payne. the cook. is about half-way through prepar- ing dinner. That's when the atmosphere about the place is just beginning to become permeated with the spicy aroma of his trade. Slowly but surely the aroma takes effect. That old feeling starts returning. You look across the kitchen where the desserts are lined up-chocolate cake plus plenty of fluffy icing. Oh! Oh! Then the dinner bell tolls. Again the insatiable students and faculty return to their places. They are hungry! You serve. you smile. and you remove dishes. Wfhen everyone has had his fill, you stand, single tile. along the wall. while various announcements are read. XX'hen the Dean dismisses the group, you make for the little room. and only then do you remove that constant rumbling from deep down. To the fellows who start the day at 6:30 a. m. and end at 6:45 p. m.. we offer our congratulations for a job well done. Page Eighty-three i 1 'U ff -, 6 5 ,- 'E T' if ,,- X0 X Q if .
