Therefore, it is a privilege and honor to dedicate this years GRll:'FlN to the family of the late Dr. and Mrs. C. S. Wieand, coffounders of Perkiomen School in l874. Both had educational vision and planted acorns which others nourished to grow into substantial oaks. They did not fail in their venture of founding a new school. The community failed them in their hour of need because the community did not share their vision at that time. Let all of us-trustees, faculty and students 4 work cooperatively to keep these oak trees alive for greater service to those who pause here on life's journey to receive inspiration and show reverence and full appreciation of the results of their vision. E Seventy-fifth Anniversary ALMA MATER When the shades of night are falling O'er the campus green, When the evening bells are pealing Daylight's tun'ral peang On the campus sward we gather, Sings the songs of oldg And we Watch the sunset blending Purple and the Gold. Let your rnem'ries linger longer, Alma Mater dear, Ev'ry day We're growing fonder, Be We far or near, When We Wander, Wander, wander, Far away from you, Perkiornen's sons are loyal, Loyal, tried and true. Comrades, friends and brothers ever Each to each we'll be, There are ties which naught can sever Through eternity, Bonds of union, bonds of friendship, Bonds of endless love, That are bred by Alma Mater, And by God above. -Al Dubin, l l THE HISTORY OF PERKIOMEN SCHOOL 1IlllIlllIlllllllIIllIlllIIllIIllIIlllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllIllllIlllIIllIIlllIIIIIIIllIIllIllllIIllIllllIIllIIlllIIIIIIIIIllllllllIIllIIIlIIIllIIIIIIllIllIllPIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllll IlllllllllIIIIIllllIIlllIllllllIIllIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIlIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIllIIIllIIllIIIllIllIIIllIIIllIIllIIIlIIIIIIllIIIlllIIllIIllIIllIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Perkiomen School was founded seventy-five years ago in Pennsburg by the late Rev. Charles S. Wieand. Dr. and Mrs. Wieand had hardships of all kinds which forced them to give up the school in 1883. During the period between 1883 and 1890, two other men men served as principals, the Rev. Andrew 1. 1-letrick and Iames Griffith. Mr. Griffith finding that the group of men who owned the school were difficult to deal with, moved the school in 1889 to the brick house next to the present St. Mark's Church. Perkiomen Sem- inary, as it was known in those days, continued to function for only one more year and finally closed in lune, 1890. The Society of Schwenkfelders had been considering the establishment of a private school and had collected a fund for the purpose. They found that the then sadly dilapi- dated building of Perkiomen Seminary could be bought for 53,500.00 After careful con- sideration and thought the property was bought and Dr. Oscar S. Kriebel, the man who had manifested the greatest interest and had been the promoter of the project, was elected principal, with the Society of Schwenkfelders forming the first board of trustees. After the purchase and restoration of the building, the School was re-opened on October 3, 1892. Dr. Kriebel made many changes and improvements during his forty years of out- standing leadership. Although from the first it had been a co-educational school, in 1918 it was decided to restrict it to boys only. Another important change was the adoption of the new name, Perkiomen School. Many extensive additions were made to the cam- pus. The original building was enlarged in 1895, the gymnasium with dormitory facilities was constructed in 1905 and the Andrew Carnegie Library was built in 1913. Later four other houses were added, the Headmaster's House, the lnfirmary, Duyckinck Hall, and South Cottage. After the death of Dr. Kriebel in 1932, Webster S. Stover was Headmaster until October, 1934. Irwin W. Kehs, our present Director of Courses and senior advisor, was acting Headmaster from that date until April, 1935, when Clarence E. Tobias became Head- master. Mr. Rogers has been the Headmaster at Perkiomen since May, 1944. Many improve- ments were made during his administration, a new baseball field, which is located in the rear of the tennis courts, and a soccer field, which is at the extreme end of the football field have been constructed. Also, the track and the football field have been entirely remade by means of a generous donation from one of the trustees. Kriebel Hall and Kehs have both been improved by having their lavatories completely tiled and modernized. Mr. Rogers has placed the stress on present activities and advancements, and by doing so he has invigorated the school life at Perkiomen and increased school in general, The past is important, but the future is more important. The all-weather tennis courts, which are on the north side of Kehs Hall are a recent me- morial to the Perkiomen boys who died in World War ll. This is another of the outstand- ing advancements which have taken place during Mr. Rogers' excellent record as Perki- omen's Headmaster. Perkiomen has come a long way since the day it was opened in 1874 with nineteen stu- dents. It can now boast of 2,639 graduates and an additional 6,000 who have gained ad- mission to higher ranking colleges all over the country and have become important fig- ures in every walk of life. The philosophy of the School is that every student has great potentialities and that his educational program can produce a mature man of high ideals, alert to responsibility as well as to opportunity. lf we can do this, the man and the school that train him are both truly successful. . T en 75th Anniversary Program Saturday, October 22, 1949, was an eventful day in many a year for Perkiomen, for it marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the school. Registration of guests began at 9:00 a. m. in Kriebel Hall. At lU:UU, visitors began to file into the Carnegie Library to see the special exhibits on display. They included work done by Perklomen students in various subject fields, an exhibition of art work sponsored by Mrs. Stutzman, and a showcase of interest- ing documents of historic interest having to deal with Perkiomen in its early days. A convocation was held in the chapel at ll:0O o'clock for three hundred or more guests, many of whom were alumni. The Headmaster extended his greetings to all present and introduced the guest speakers. The addresses were given by the following: Elmer E. S. Iohnson C'95J, D.D., Chairman, Anni- versary Committee representing the trustees, the Rev. Franklin W. Ruth C'l5l, Pennsylvania State Senator, representing the alumni, lames I. Wendell, LL.D., Headmaster, the Hill School, representing secondary schools, Levering Tyson, Litt.D., LL.D., President, Muhlenberg College, representing colleges and univer- sities. Following the Anniversary Service a buffet luncheon was served to all those who were able to remain. Several speeches were made by prominent alumni. Then nearly everybody made preparation to see the football game with Penn- ington School at the Pennsburg High School Athletic Field. The alumni re- turned to Perkiornen after the game to take part in their class reunions. And so ended the program commemorating the three-quarters of a century in the history of Perkiomen School.

The GRIFFIN is an active indication ot your interest and participation in the lite ot Perkiomen School, The path ot lite ahead, ever upward, will not be easy. Many wise men believe that civilization, as we know it, has reached the crossroads-one path leading to chaos and destruction and the other to greater social progress along the lines ot Brotherhood of Man . We way- tarers on this path must decide which road to take. The last two generations, though making unprecented technological progress, have made serious social errors resulting in two devastating wars. Atomic fission and technological progress must be changed from a destructive to a constructive use. You through your educational training at Perkiomen School are preparing to meet this challenge between service and chaos. The youth ot this nation and of other nations must use its education constructively to prolong lite, not destroy itg combat disease and not spread it by biological warfare, and see that the latent power ot the atom is used for the good of mankind. We live in a great age. You will live in a still greater age-perhaps through an historical crisis. We who know you have great faith that the youth of the world can, through education, find a social solution to world problems under Divine Guidance. Q ? Faculty and Staff Sixteen IRWIN W. KEHS, Ph. B. Muhlenberg Colllege Senior Master Director of Courses Mathematics For anyone 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 come and pass on: but to us, the memory of M.r. Kehs shall remain as long as We live. HENRY GOODMHN H. SMITH. H. B., H. M. Swarthmore College University of Pennsylvania A University of Illinois Foreign Languages. Elssistant Director of Courses, Coach of Tennis To everyone here at school, the head of our Foreign Language De- partment is known as Smitty.

Besides his regular duties as master, he finds time to coach our Tennis Team and in- struct our Bridge Club. CRLVIN H. RUTH. B. H. H., M. F. H. Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Hrt Rrt, Librarian It is said that all good things come in small packages. This saying can ve.ry easily be applied to Calvin Ruth. Fllthough Mr. Ruth has quiet ways, one would neve.r know that he has such a tremendous amount of skill at his disposal. When he received his B.H.H. de- gree at Philadelphia Museum of Industrial Hrt, he was awarded with it the Baugh Barbara Prize in Ceramics. lust this past year Mr. Ruth received his M, F. H. degree at Stella Elkins Tyler School of Fine Hrts. CLBUDE K. HARLEY Combs College of Music Music, Orgcmist No matter who the student at Perkiomen is, he invariably comes in contact with M.r. Harley. Each morning as we enter Chapel we hear the smooth mellow tones of the organ played by Mr. Harley's adept fingers. Qs we sit and listen to the various refrains, a peace- ful feeling descends upon us. Through him we have learned the true value of music and how to appreciae it. D. BRUCE LYTLE, H. B. Shippensburg Normal School Susquehanna University Duke University Science, Director ot 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. Fllthough the sciences are his favorite, he has a soft spot in his heart for good music. CHHUNCEY H. MOREHOUSE Springfield College Director of Physical Education Science Coach oi Soccer Coach of Wrestling Coach ot Baseball Mr Morehouse, who is new here this year, is the able Director of Physical Education and a capable Science Teacher, Mr. Morehouse has coached the boys through successful seasons in many sports. He also plays a mean game of Soccer and Baseball. RAYMOND 0. SPENCER Indiana State Teachers College Social Studies, English, Director of Work Program, Mathematics Mr, Spencer, more commonly known as The ludge, is a hand with the cards-red cards that is. Besides his popular task as Director of the Work Program, he finds time to use his talents to teach Mathematics, English, and Social Studies. Certainly the boy who named Mr. Spencer The ludge must have had some Squad Work at one time or another. LLOYD L. STUTZMHN, B. H., M. H. Gettysburg College University of Berlin University of Marburg Director of Orientation, Foreign Languages Hssistant Coach ot Baseball Mr. Stutzman is a member of the Language Department here at school.

Resistant Coach of Football and Baseball Mr. Baker, we sometimes think, could have done exceptionally well writing for Bob Hope. His easy manner and ready smile lets one believe that life is that proverbial Bed of Roses. We need a good end, can be accredited tot Charlie, as he is sometimes re- ferred to here at school. MRS. C. Z. HUNTZINGER. B. S.. M. Ed. Kutztown State Teachers College Pennsylvania State College Remedial Reading Do you have a hard time with classics? Do you find it difficult to interpret passages from various selections? Is English a deep mys- tery to you? Drop into the Remedial Reading Room to see Mrs. Huntzinger.

It is the desire of many students to defeat Mr. Boden in tennis. RICHHRD WEIKEL. B. S. University of Pennsylvania Social Studies. Coach of Track. Hssistant Coach of Football Ever since man was, so was history. Making students realize the importance of the past and present is an arduous task. To rid such a subject of monotony is still harder, But through the hard work and efficient planning of the man who hails from Pottstown, much has been done to instill the necessity of history and to relieve this subject of its so-called boring atmosphere. PHUI. E. HORN. B. S. West Chester State Teachers College Dean. Mathematics. Coach of Basketball One of the most difficult tasks in any school is that of a disciplina- rian. Through this past year, Dean Horn very capably carried out the duties of his office. Hlong with his duties as a mathematics in- structor, Mr. Hom was the coach of our basketball team. Ht present Mr. Horn is studying for his Master's Degree at Lehigh University. DONHLD PIRNIE, H. B. Harvard English. Ioumalism. Music, Intramural Sports Mr. Pirnie is an ardent admirer of fine music. He will take time to converse with anyone on the topics of English and Macbeth. There is nothing Mr. Pimie enjoys more than a fine composition, and those that are written are really fine. He is also connected with intramural sports. MEREDITH RUSSELL. H. B., H. M. Yale University Montclair, New Iersey, State Teachers College English Hs the Head of Our English Department, Mr. Russell has the duty of seeing that we depart from these hallowed halls with a vocabu- lary plus a grammatical sense befitting a graduate of Perkiomen. English, which is a dry subject to most of us, has been brightened considerably since his arrival. Hs the years pass on, We students shall endeavour to prove that his efforts were not in vain. GEORGE HEDDY. B. S. I Colgate University Mathematics. Coach of Football. Hssistcxnt Coach of Track Mr. Heddy was recently involved in a Holy Matrimonial Equation. The word speed seems written all over him. ln the classroom he handles figures like a magician-occasionally handling them so dextrously that we poor students are mystified. However, when the display is over, we stagger from the classroom with the deep sec.rets of the profession seeping into our minds. 1 t Nineteen Twenty IOHN G. SCHUMHKER, H. B., M. S. Kutztown State Teachers College Muhlenberg College Lehigh University Science. Mathematics 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 stu- dent in Perkiomen to cope With. lt this teacher ot Chemistry and Pllgebra can endure the odors of gases like Fluorine, Chlorine, and Hydrogen Sultide, class after class, that is proof in itself that he is capable of mastering almost any type of situation. HHYDEN MHSON. H. B.. H. M. Flssistant to the Headmaster Foreign Languages Hssistant Coach oi Soccer Hssistant Coach ot Track Mr. Mason is very well known for his exerts in French which he uses to great advantage in all his classes, especially when empha- sizing delicate points. Mr. Mason is the competent advisor of the school paper-The Perkiomenite, and is also the Hssistant to the Headmaster. Besides these, he finds time to devote part ot his tal- ents to being the capable Flssistant Coach ol Soccer and Track. DOROTHY STHUDT BHKER. B. S. New York University Director of Glee Club Music I think people will always enjoy good music, that's why we would like to pay tribute to Mrs. Baker for her outstanding work with the Glee Club. We also would like to thank her tor the time and pa- tience she has given to this year's Club. X WHYNE H. ROTHENBERGER, B. S.. M. S. H. Comell University Financial Secretary Mr. Rothenberger has the arduous task of keeping account of all the income and expenditures at Perkiomen. There is also placed on him the responsibility of keeping our money handy for the week- ends. It is often said that he saves pennies, but spends dollars. MRRGUERITE KRHUSS Hllentown Business College I-lssistant Financial Secretary , Miss Krauss, along with her duties as Flssistant Financial Secre- tary, has the tedious job of teaching some of the future business- men at school the art of punching the keys properly. We would like to thank her deeply for the time and effort she spent helping to type articles for the Griffin. MRS. FLORENCE PFLIEGER Flllenfown Business College Private Secretary to Mr. Rogers Have you often wondered who that quiet, industrious, young lady was in the office next to Mr. Rogers? Why thcrt's Florence Pflieger, the Private Secretary to the Headmaster. Watching her fingers as they fly over the keys of her typewriter seems to induce upon us a hypnotic spell. Her efficiency and friendly smile has made her popular with all of us. MRS. MHRIAN STEFBNO Cedar Crest College Dining Room Supervisor Study Hall Supervisor Mrs. Stefano, who is the Dining Room Supervisor, is known for her quick smile. Besides the task of being Dining Room Supervisor, she is also Hssistant Librarian. She fulfills her jobs admirably. Twenty-one Twenty-two Mrs. Laura B. Houser, R. N. Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia House Mother. Resident Nurse Did you ever return to your room one day to find a blue card s'aring you in the face? Yes, it's the lady with the cards, Mrs. Houser. She has the endless job of checking our rooms to ascertain their cleanliness. Mrs, Houser, who is also a registered nurse, lives up to Ben Franklin's saying, Hn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as can be seen by the way that she administers the ailing. MISS OLGH RUTH HRISKO, R. N. Hllentown General Hospital Resident Nurse The common saying, or name, I-lngel of Mercy, could not be more appropriately applied to a nurse. Miss Hrisko is always there with a helping hand when we are in need of some type of pill or an- other. She always goes about her duties in a precision-like way and with a pleasant smile on her face. MRS. THELMH BRKER Ofiice Secretary. Public Relations Did you ever wonder who sent out all those catalogues that you re- ceived before you came to the school? You may not realize it, but countless thousands have been posted by this hard-working secre- tary. This busy little secretary, Mrs. Baker, always has a pleasant smile and will always cheerfully answer your questions. MRS. HGNES M. BUCHENHORST Sacred Heart Commercial School Muhlenberg College Secretary to Director of Courses Mrs. Buchenhorst took over the job as Secretary to the Director of Courses during the middle of the year. It is always a hard job to fill in where someone else has left off, and Mrs. Buchenhorst is do- ing her job admirably. From the short time that she has been here, we see that she is very efficient and friendly to all. KEHS HALL MR. IRWIN W. KEHS TO THE CLASS OF '50 There is a spirit that pervades Perkiomen which leaves its mark upon every student who en- ters its doors. On some, its mark is plainly visible, on others, it is only visible to the person himself, but it is there nevertheless, and will show itself at times. This spirit is best expressed by .true manhood, putting away those things which are petty and unworthy and by clinging to those things which make the true man. This is the spirit for which Perkiomen stands. ln the classroom and all other activities, this spirit is seen and needed. Let your motto be Don't flinch, don't foul and hit the line hard. 'Your ability and fortitude will be taxed to the utmost whether you go to work or to college. l hope Perkiomen School has given you a sound code of Christian ethics with which you are able to combat obstacles which all of us must meet. Always have faith and confidence which will overcome fear. Keep all old friends made at Perkiomen and cultivate as many new ones as possible, then you are rich and your happiness is assured. You have to get a larger outlook upon life and a greater sense of personal obligation to yourself and your fellow men. Keep your visions of life right. Keep looking ahead. May God bless you and sustain you, is my earnest wish and prayer. Twenty four K, Q15 13,1323 af K. V A . 2-,fjy - , ,, M, M.

He served in the Marine Corps and thus was enrolled as a G. I. student. In addition to being a good student, Pete was an exceptional athlete. He played football, basketball, and track equally well. Furthermore, he was an outstanding member of the Hthletic Council. In football he was noted for his dependability game after game. In basketball he played first string center on the team which had one of the most successful seasons in Perkiomen history. In track he was always one of the highest point winners on the team. He even broke a few high school and prep school track records. Because of his outstanding record at Perkiomen, Pete the chance to go to Duke, however, because during the Hs a tribute to this fine boy Perkiomen has dedicated a Kellar Memorial Lounge.

Recently, a handsome candy vending ma- chine and gum machine have been added to the facilities of the lounge. The money put into these machines will be used to further the development of the lounge. Well over two thousand dollars was spent in building and furnishing the lounge. However, the most valu- able thing in the lounge was not bought, nor could it be bought for all the money in the world. It is the spirit of Pete Kellar. When the students of Perkiomen enter the lounge, they should stop for a moment to look at the following three words on the Lewis I. Kellar plaque: Character, Influence, and Sportsmanship. The character of the room itself cannot help but influence the people who see it. Flnyone listening to the gay chatter of students enjoying themselves in the lounge will certainly catch the feeling of sportsmanship in the air. These three traits, character, influence, and sportsmanship apply not only to the lounge, but even more truly to the fellow whose memory is always present in the minds of those who knew the six foot lad with the ready smile and the twinkle of friendship in his eyes, Pete Kellar.

Put yourself in the waiter's place and you can readily see it is not an easy job. Though he may be the first to rise he is always the last to eat. Between 7:45 AM. and 12:20 PM. you feel the pangs of hunger coming on. But you are a waiter, so after your last morning class you must rush to the dining kroom to set up your tables in anticipation of the rush. Until everyone else eats, in spite of the fact that you are hungry, you cannot eat till the last plate has been removed. Then and not before then can you eat lunch. After lunch you only have a few minutes to get ready for afternoon classes. The evening meal, dinner, is the best where the waiter shines. He can have all he can pos- sibly consume. But he must be in the kitchen at 5:30 P.M. ready to go. The dinner is about half prepared by this time, under our cook, Walt Payne's able direction. The aroma slowly drives you to despair. The hungry feeling returns as you see the enticing desserts lined up. Your mouth waters with delight. But the dinner bell begins to toll and the hungry mob descends. They are all starved and you are really kept busy for a while. At last after the tables are cleared off, and the dean has made his announcements and dismissed everyone you, little forgotten waiter, can finally eat your well-earned meal. To you, early birds, whose day starts so early and ends so late, we offer our sincere con- gratulations for a job well done. Head Waiters, lesse Krall, Carl Tinnerholm Seventy one Mr. Qlhert E.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, with Mr. Paul E, Horn as advisor, is composed of l5 members: two from each floor of Kriebel Hall, Duyckinck Hall, and South Cottage, and three from Kehs Hall, and one member who represents the foreign students here at school. Early in the school year the members were elected and they decided at their first meeting to meet every Tuesday night. The sessions which are similar to court precedure, with President Carl Tinnerholm presiding, and each member serving as a juror, are very fair and the members are very unbiased in their decisions. After any case the information is weighed and the group takes a vote to see whether the defendant was guilty or innocent. lf guilty, sentence is passed. Sentences range from complete suspension to a severe warning, depending upon the seriousness of the offence, Mr. Horn is only an advisor and, although his word counts, the final decision is up to the council. Thanks to Dean Horn and the Council, Perkiomen School can Well be proud of its Well-organized and Well-directed student government which has done a very commend- able job.

At this time they were issued equipment and given their physical examinations. Their first practice was held on the l8th of September under the watchful eye of Head Coach Mr. Heddy. Coach Heddy, with the aid of his capable assistants, Mr. Charles Baker tend coach? and Mr. Richard Weikel Cline coachl, started the difficult job of molding together a team. The team had only eight days' of practice betore its opening game, which proved to be a definite handicap. The team, though hampered by injuries throughout the entire season, put up a great fight. Coach Heddy found he had a lot of green material and only a handful of returning veterans to build a team. lt is tough to mold a team when boys have never played together before and have varied abilities and styles of playing, However, the coaches did a very commendable job with the material that they had, Despite what the records show, the team showed a fine spirit of sportsmanship and stamina throughout the entire season when they went down to defeat. We were completely outclassed by some of the teams that we played because they were much bigger schools and on a much higher caliber than we were, in regards to football, At the conclusion of the football season, Edwin Heidig and Rodney Birkins were elected co- captains by the members of the team. Their playing and fighting determination was an in- spiration to all the team. On Saturday, December 3, 1949, the Perkiomen lndians, along with the Soccer Team, were entertained at the Annual Purple and Gold Banquet. The Toastmaster, Mr. Kehs, introduced the evening's guest speaker, the Rev. Paul Kehm. Mr. Albert E. Rogers, Headmaster, also spoke briefly. Letters were awarded by Mr. Heddy and Mr. Morehouse to the members of their respective teams. After the varsity letters were presented, Co-captain Heidig presented gold watch bands as gifts of appreciation to the two football coaches on behalf of the team. To Coach Heddy and his competent assistants, Mr. Weikel and Mr. Baker, and to the team, we wish to offer our heartiest congratulations for a job well done. 1949 -.SCHEDULE - 1950 Perkiomen Opponents Oct. l-Stevens Trade School l3 33 Oct. 8-Bordentown Military Institute l2 U Oct, l5ABullis Prep, School U l3 Oct. 22-Pennington Prep.

I SOCCER During the first week of school a notice was posted announcing the opening of soccer season and that all candidates for the team were to report to the gym. Many boys reported, but of these only a few had had previous experience. This lack of ex- perienced players offered a difficult task to Coach Morehouse, for there were only two weeks until the opening game with Bethlehem High School. Practice started with various conditioning drills. There was kicking, trapping, head tech- niques, and finally team scrimmage. At the end of two weeks, a well functioning team was organized, From a schedule of nine games Perkiomen won one, tied one, and lost seven. ln any sport a numerical record is not really an absolute judgment of a team. Perkiomen showed sports- manship and spirit in every game. At the conclusion of the season, Richard Stone was elected team captain.

WRESTLING On the afternoon of December 2, l949, about fifteen boys gathered in the basement of the library. From this small group of boys Coach Chauncey A. Morehouse would mold a team to represent Perkiomen during the l95O wrestling season. The first few days were spent in drill on various fundamentals as wrestling was a new sport to the majority of candidates. Short skirmishes between various members of the team supple- mented other fundamentals already learned. On lanuary 4th, after a three-week period spent at home during the holidays, the squad re- sumed practice mastering fundamentals introduced before vacation and learning new ones in preparation for its first meet on lanuary lllth.

BASEBALL Under the competent leadership of Mr. Morehouse, Mr. Stutzrnan, and Mr. Baker, the first call for baseball candidates was made after Spring vacation. Around 35 determined boys, some experienced, and others new at it, answered the initial call and the l95U season was officially begun. After giving each boy a chance to show his ability, the team was cut to about 20 boys. Bat- ting and throwing were stressed, and strenuous infield and outfield practice were held. The pitchers and catchers were put through their paces, and thus a team was molded which will play a full and difficult schedule with some of the best teams in this section Several of the players have already proved themselves to be very good and others show very promising signs. We feel that in time this team will prove itself and establish a fine record here at Perkiomen School. , With the experienced leadership that this team has, we feel that it will uphold the fine tradi- tion of Perkiomen School. They will have the full support and wishes from the student body and the faculty.

The majority of the boys had little experience, but they had the determination and the stamina to back their will to win. After only two Weeks of practice the team had its first match. Coaches Smith and Boden have molded a fine team Which We are sure will go far in competition. A captain will be elected early in the season to lead the team this year.

FOOTBALL SQUAD The lunior Varsity football squad was formed in October l949 because, under the Student Activities Program, there was a need for a football squad for lighter and younger boys to play the varsity teams of high schools in surrounding communities. On the first day approximately 28 boys reported for practice. Because of their late start the l.V. had to play teams that had been playing together for many weeks. Three games were played: Pennsburg H. S. varsity, Quakertown H. S. varsity and Schwenks- ville H. S. varsity. Although the I, V. lost all three games, they showed a very marked im- provement in the last game, including an almost impenetrable line that was seldom broken, and a fast, well-organized backfield. The lunior Varsity also furnished valuable scrimmage practice for the short-handed Varsity. Edward Cooper Was chosen captain of the year. Eighty fave FRONT ROW: Gonzales, Koitzsch, Goldenberg, Fritts, Reed, Bertuch. BFICK ROW: Mr. Heddy, Borso, l-louser, Lucas, Gery, Schoenfeld, Saibel, Pariser, Sayers, BASKETBALL, I. V. After returning from the Christmas holidays, the first call was made for lunior Varsity basket- ball players. About 30 boys responded to Coach George l-leddy's call, Coach Heddy found he had a lot of green material and only a few experienced players. After a few weeks of intensive drill and practice, the squad was cut to 14 players. The team worked under the handicap of being able to practice only at nights, and then for only short periods. Despite this handicap Coach l-leddy succeeded in molding together a well-balanced team. This l. V. team, which played only three games, played very well, show- ing good team work and co-operation among the team members. The team lost its first two games but won its last game by a rather convincing score. BHSKETBHLL SCORES Stevens Trade School 39 Perkiomen 33 Hill School 55 Perkiomen 30 Bordentown M.
