V w. . ...ig .,m.x ig!!- CLASS HISTCRY FRESHMAN YEAR We became Freshmen in 1940, and the Old Prospector, fwho has seen many classes come and gol, told us to waste no time in organizing our class. - The first step to be taken was the choice of a class adviser. Fortunate - indeed were we in securing the services of Miss Dorothea K. Wood, who promised to take us safely over the hardships of our high school career. 1 Now under capable leadership, we elected class officers. They were: Presi- dent, Frank Martin, Vice-President, Marian Megrawg Secretary, Dorothy - f Bowesg Boys' Treasurer, Robert Bakerg Girls' Treasurer, Betty Pyle. J' - Our first money-making venture was the Curtis Publishing Company's drive for magazine subscriptions. Everyone worked hard, so this proved to I il, X i 'F f s M17 6 W ig: 'L 4 be fairly successful. Jeannette Ingersoll and Bob McKenzie revealed them- 'F'RO,5H selves as high pressure salesmen by selling the highest number of sub- ' scriptions. When Hallowe'en rolled around, we entered into the social world by hold- ing a party for the eighth grade. Dancing, games, and refreshments rounded out an evening which was thoroughly enjoyed by both hosts and guests. Early spring found us giving our first public dance. On the afternoon N-' preceeding the gala event freshmen could be seen diligently decorating the - gym in a cheerful spring motif. Dancing to the mellow strains of Ziggy - -F - x x O'Nea1 and the Prospectors, none could complain of a dull evening. S , jk fx . X - ra At last the really big event arrived: Promotion from Junior High School! 6065081277: iff The Old Prospector was pleased with us as we closed our activities, and we eagerly looked forward to entering Senior High School. SOPHOMORE YEAR The Old Prospector told us that this, our Sophomore year, would be one g that would always live in our memories, and how right he was! Ei ' It was in the beginning of the year that we devised a new plan for con- A Aff ducting our class affairs. This was through an executive committee, with ,fi Frank Martin chosen President. The Committee included four boys and four ,T ,qi girls-Joan Thompson, Marian Mcgraw, Dorothy Bowes, and Esther Laugh- 2 reyg Fred Meisel, Jack Clark, Jack Frederick, and Carter Merbreier. Arif Our Prospector had reminded us earlier in the year that we should do P 4 1 something to boost the savings in our treasury. So-We held a bake. Flooded ' with orders and rain, the end of the day found us sodden but happy, and ' 4 our treasury S150 richer! ' , , gi , We h-ad all looked forward with eagerness fand some trepidationl to i my our Sophomore initiation in November. However, the reception was post- r' 6 poned till spring because of repairs to the gym floor. Finally the great day I dawned. We realized we all looked like comic book characters, but the fun 5 31 both we and the seniors had fairly compensated for everything. With our Sophomore Hop, we ended our activities in February. The dance, the first formal held by the class, was ia. wonderful success socially, A ,., if not financially, and we all had a good time. 6 Thus closing our sophomore year, we looked forward to our third year 5 in high school with much anticipation. 28 CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR YEAR .wg Our Guiding Spirit, the Old Prospector, now found us one more step QQ up the ladder of knowledge--our Junior Year! I5 Realizing from experience that we could do nothing without complete organization, we held our official election. Frank Martin was again chosen j J President, and the following eight classmates made up the Executive Com- i mittee: Dorothy Bowes, Dorothy Owen, Jeannette Ingersoll, Bernice Rath- J , bun, Carter Merbreier, Ted Johnson, Fred Meisel, and Jack Clark. Under their very able leadership we began our eleventh-grade activities. Early in September we were seen dashing around the halls proudly dis- 4 playing our cherished class rings. With prudent forethought we had ordered - 5,1 them the previous spring, thus receiving them early in the fall. JuNioR Since the war-time conditions had made everything so hard-to-get, we broke a precedent by uniting with the Seniors for the Junior-Senior Prom. The dance was informal, the music recorded: but all our lads and lassies, waltzers and hep-cats enjoyed a grand and glorious evening. Our Prospector took great pride in the fact that his Juniors had so many able representatives in the activities and social life of the school- the Band, Glee Club, and varied fields of sports. He predicted even greater things for us when we reached the coveted goal of being- Seniors, non Here we are at the top step of the first flight in life-Seniors at last! Fred Meisel was chosen President this year, and our Exectuive Com- mittee included Jeannette Ingersoll, Marian Megraw, Joan Thompson and Dorothy Bowes: Walter Riggins, Halus Ewing, Jack Clark and Carter Merbreier. ,N Our first problem was the Hot Dog Stand. Despite the hard work, the ration points, and the rain, our class by its spirit and co-operation made l ' a success of it. l We found the war really coming close as we saw our classmates enlist- 1 ing: Seven boys are now in the military services. rl, Q At a twin-boro dance on Thanksgiving night, by Prospect and Ridley, Hazen X2 throngs jammed the firehouse to cuddle and jive to the rhythm of Tommy lv' S Dorsey, Harry James and Glenn Miller-by way of record, naturally. A part of our Christmas Joy was the Christmas Dance, held at the ' ' Masonic Temple, where everyone enjoyed the frosty decorations and the if dancing. 5.1 Spring sped by on winged feet. Our Year Book took shape and landed .41 A' in the publishers lap Cwhether it be drawing, writing or selling, all can say, I helped make that book! J: personnel managers probed our abilities to gf ,dx handle summer jobs: our long-awaited trip to New York arrived on the schedule tAl1 had a glorious time and we saw everything from the Statue f' of Liberty to La Guardia Airportlg our class party, the last social gathering rf of our class as a unit, became a never-to-be-forgotten occasion. Class night, a joyous and rollicking affair, led right into that lung await- Q ed and somewhat dreaded event-Graduation. It was hard to believe that we Z were really Alumni at last! We can look back on our high school course, sometimes with tears and in ,SENIOR sometimes with laughter, but whichever it is, these four years of our life will stand out in our hearts forever. 29 CLASS PROPHECY fl? . As the sun is rising on a new world and a new day, we find A crowds of people hustling along busy Forty-fourth Street. Among xx Hy! ' them, buffeted by the scurrying crowds, is the Old Prospector. Amb- E' 2' ling along the street, he notices with an expression of amazement K , many names that bring back pleasant memories. Now he is entering ' 0 ' Doc Meisel's dru store :-Let's follow him. Ji ' m . . . . . . 9 9 J, Eager to see lf. 1t.1S his old friend, Fred Meisel, he walks quickly X 9 g , back to the prescription counter, completely unaware of those sit- Q Q f tmg around the soda fountain. The pharmacist looks up from his ' ,I . 1' I work and the recognition between them is instantaneous. The hearty T ' ----- welcome caught the interest of other former classmates in the store, and they all rush back to greet the old Prospector. There is Mildred McKeone, still a Meisel em- ployee, Marion Moore, still a popular customer, and jean LaBahn, whose appetite has shown no signs of diminishing. As the conversation progresses sleepy-eyed Alan Stearn moseys into the store for his weekly prescription of No-Doz Tablets. He finds that Alan is extremely success- ful, but still looks forward to his life long ambition of leading a revolution. When the Old Prospector asked about the other ,44 graduates, Doc suddenly remem- bers the Forty-fourth Street Radio Station, which is about to broadcast. They tune it in just in time to hear- Ladies and gentlemen, this is Carter Merbreier broadcasting from station VV.P.U., bring- ing you the orchestras of David Thompson and Milton Given fthe two most famous dance bands since Harry james and Tommy Dorseyj, brought to you by Elaine's Dancing Studio at 1944 Forty-fourth Street. And here, ladies and gentlemen, comes our good friend, Sparky Frederick, who brings good news to one and all. Can you dance, can you sing, can you truck, can you swing? If so, Elaine's Dancing Studio is holding a nation wide contest to make you the Toast of Forty-fourth Street. If you live in this vicinity, come in person or call Miss Helen June Foresman, our station recep- tionist. For those on the west coast, our traveling talent scouts, Marie Kaefer and Alyce Brown, will be near your community within the next few days. This radio station will keep you posted on their itinerary. The winner of this contest will be publicized from Maine to California by the world famous press agent Esther Laughreyg and will receive two years' free taxi fare from VValtz-johnson Taxis, used in all the principal cities of the country. This contest will be judged by Elaine and her partners, those two famous dance critics, Miss Helen Krause and Miss Ruth Marshall. Enroll now in this nation wide contest. More news at the end of the program. I now turn you back to our Master of Ceremonies and the scintillating' rhythm of our orches- tras. While listening to the music, Fred tells the Old Prospector that the former editor of the high school yearbook, Joan Thompson, is now a successful 'business woman owning several en- terprises, among which is this station. Thanking his friends for an enjoyable hour he leaves the drugstore and proceeds on his way. As he approaches Augie Schade's Bowling Alley one of the famous Waltz-Johnson Taxi Cabs pulls up to the curb to admit a passenger whom he recognizes as Miss Dorothy Bowes. She greets the Old Prospector effusively, but tells him she must be on her way to the dock to meet Walter Riggins, a silent partner in the Waltz-johnson Taxi Company, who is coming home from his latest yachting trip. Hurriedly they bid each other good-bye and the Old Pros- pector enters Augie's Bowling Alley. A friendly slap on the back announces the proprietor, Clarence Schade, and his partner, Kenneth Bluzard, who is all sharped up in a new zoot suit. Before a conversation could be started, our Prospector is alarmed by repeated pistol shots from above. By the grin on the Prospector's face we can imagine that Augie has just explain- ed the cause. It seems that Bill Machamer and Lou Riess have reached their life ambition,- owning an open-air shooting gallery. Here they spend all their time shooting albadritches. 30 CLASS PROPHECY After laughing and talking over old times, the old man learns that he is within a few blocks of The Martin's Mechanized Models Corporation where he C311 renew many old ac- quaintances. Bidding them farewell, he makes his way further down the noisy street. To his right, his eye is caught by a beautiful, spacious Cathedral of stately appearance. On closer observation he proudly reads that Malcolm Brown is its spiritual leader. The gay sound of feminine laughter rouses him from his reverie to behold two smartly dressed individuals whom he views with a slight flicker of recognition. Suddenly it dawns upon him that they are Jeannette Ingersoll and Sue Gonzalez,-more attractive than ever. From the conversation he learns that they have made a successful career of modeling for the Martin Corporation, so to- gether they continue down the street. Soon reaching their destination the old friends enter the elevator. We now see them on the 44th floor, making their way along the corridor and admir- ing the colorful advertising done by Ellen james, Clinton Stackhouse and Pat Martin. There on the door ahead of him he spies the large gold lettering-Frank B. Martin, I'1'es- ident. Vifondering who would greet him next he rushes into the office and beholds Miss Helen Rathmell, the trim and efficient secretary of Mr. Maltin. She explains, Mr, Martin is in deep consultation and left orders not to be disturbed, but I'll see what I can do for you. As she leaves the room, the Prospector sees two other alumni-Jack Clark, the business manager, and Bernice Rathbun, who holds the secret mathematical formula for the success of the models. Both are discussing a problem, but as the Old Prospector approaches they stop a minute to speak to him. The secretary reappears and announces that Mr. Martin will see him at once. Entering and looking about the executive's spacious office, he finds no one. Puzzled, he investigates fur- ther and sees President Frank Martin, and Maurice Edwards, the financier, engaged in a tense exciting game of Tiddeley VVi11ks. jumping up, Frank hails him with alacrity and proceeds to make him feel at home. He looks about the room and finds Halus Ewing reclining in the Pres- ident's chair. Frank explains that Hal is happily engaged as Vice-President in charge of the ink wells, so that he doesn't have to break his tradition by doing work. Halus protests this accusation by mentioning that Charles Duke, married to a wealthy wid- ow, has settled down to a great liie of ease in South America, where he can use his fluent Span- ish. Perceiving that they a1'e duly engrossed in business, the Prospector takes his leave. NVhile waiting for the elevator he perceives Wayne Fletcher authoritatively stalling the creditors with the same efficiency he used in stalling his teachers. Smiling to himself, he descends to the street. Reaching the thoroughfare, a loud ringing laugh attracts his attention. Looking quickly around he sees Dorothy Nyholm standing on the corner talking to Blanche MacLellan, who is waiting for Helen june Foresman as usualg and Ann Colley who is on the curb writing a letter, He salutes them cheerily. Advancing down the street he runs into Betty Pyle, now an Interior Decorator, who is beautifying the homes of three of our recently married alumnae, Clara Sayre, Helen Berg, and Clara Brenaman. After due recognition he continues on his way. As he DHSSCS one Of the stores he sees a sign adver- tising Showell's Sensational Stilts for Social Sb01'tieS. Further investigation reveals that Jim- my Axsom and Ruth Depew, original users of these stilts, are now important stock holders i11 this firm. In the distance he notices a large, impressive white building, The Owen Hospital. In the hospital inclosure are three nurses, Marian Me- graw, Ruth VVilkin, and Doris Moore. He is told that Dorothy Owen is the owner and head physician of this hospital. At that very moment she comes down the steps and is startled as she recognizes the Old N A Prospector. During their chat he learns that .lack Hovis and Albert McCue are the mad scientists of the hospital, 11ow working to perfect JL a new drug to cure snake bite. Q Bidding his friends goodbye, the Old Prospector reflects that he NCL. has not spent so happy a day in years. As he walks off into the fading i-'iw' sunset, we know that he is proud of our class and its endeavors. 91 . 6 ,, my-ER: li ff . gms, 1 , - lun . 5' lilgill-Killa' f New 55 , gg fc '-N SI ' '777'7'7 77'7'7H I f Il f f CLASS WILL HIS is the last will and testament of the Class of 1944 of the Prospect Park High T School, Borough of Prospect Park, County of Delaware, State of Pennsylvania, published in this year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-four.

Lerch. The following Executive Board was elected: Harold llrown, Presidentg Alice VVhite, Vice-Presidentg Dorice Boakes, Secretaryg lletty Miller, Girls' Treasurerg joseph Kershaw, Boys' Treasurer. Associate members were Marion Bacon, Pauline Martin, Dick Mansure and Stewart McKnight. VVe decided to hold an official class-meeting on the first Monday of each month, as a means of planning and conducting our class activities with greatest etiiciency. XXI' needed money in our treasury, of course,-Junior classes always do. ln meeting this need we have found our class members include numerous super- salesmen. VVe have sold several hundred pounds of Peanut-Crunch at a good prohtg we sold Christmas cards until the dealer could no longer fill our ordersg our individualized stationery sales have been of sufficient volume to weigh heavily in helping us put our treasury in good order. February was our red-letter month. Our order for Class rings was placed with the manufacturer, and we held our outstanding event -the Junior Prom. Manufacturing conditions have delayed the delivery of our rings, with the hnal date still uncertaing but they will be nonetheless acceptable when they arrive. The junior Prom has been accepted as the most colorful event of the year. Wlith Bob Dallas and his 8-piece orchestra as a central attraction, the Masonic Hall was tilled to capacity with dancers attracted from other schools and com- munities as well as our own. Decorations were planned by Barbara Steadman and Mary Lou Chambers and their committees. A huge heart with streamers as a background for the orchestra signified the Valentines Day motif, and life-sized figures of dancing men and women paneled the hall, XVith so decorative a setting it was not surprising to have our intermission filled with impromptu boogie-woogie and jive by some enthusiastic orchestra men, and to have dancers leave for home at the end of the event with sighs of regret. Q The year 1944 for the Class of 1945 has been full of many things of interest, in spite of the overshadowing events of war reflected in our school of life. 38 Q SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore Class started its first year of Senior High School by electing an lfxecutive Committee composed of Earl Phillips, Presidentg Raymond Wlright, Vice-President, Betty Wood, Secretary, Ellen Petersen, Girls' Treasurer, Phillip Stumpf, Boys' Treasurer, Peggy Howe, Betty Ann Hoffman, and Allan Thomas. Vile realized the need of boosting. our exchequer immediately, so soon we were scurrying around selling Christmas cards, wrappings, and writing paper, This venture provedrto be very prohtable. Our next step in the financial direc- tion was selling candy to hungry rooters at the home basketball games. ln February we ordered our class rings for next year in case, because of material shortage, we w0n't be able to get them tif we order laterj. Last, but definitely not least, we held our Soph Hop in March. XVe all worked diligently to make our first formal dance a success. As the people thronged in, we were proud of all the effort we had put -forth. Our class was very well represented in the High School activities this year. ln sports, these are some of the sophomores who performed creditably: Anna McKeone, .lean Mullen, Joanne Hailey, lillen Petersen, Doris Crider, Ruth Smith, Shirley Moore, and Janet Myersg lidward Ackleson, Dick Lenz, and Lewis Morris. In the band were Earl Philips, Ruth Smith, lfarl Simmons, Henry Krause, Mar- garet Polk, .lean Mullen, George Hunter, and Paul Hunter. The glee club and other activities also received attention from us. In March our class adviser, Mrs. Ditzel, left us, and Mr. Granger stepped in and took over her duties. X'Ve wish to thank him for all his unforseen work. Next year we look forward to even greater glories as we become juniors. 39 FRESHMAN CLASS In the early fall, we elected the following officers: I'resident, Richard Lut- trellg Vice-President, VVilliam Enssleng Secretary, lletty Shieldsg Girls' Treasurer, Elsie Slaterg Boys' Treasurer, ,....,..,,.................,............. Wle felt ourselves very lucky to have Miss Magee for our class adviser, and we were sorry when she left at the end of the first semester. Mr. Freeman very kindly consented to take over her duties, and we started off on our high school career. The traditional magazine drive sponsored by the Curtis Publishing Company was our first organized activity. lVe covered the town from corner to corner, and our motto became, 'fW'ould you like to buy a subscription to ..,......... We were quite successful in this venture, and we were able to put our first bit in the Class Treasury. We ordered our class pins in February, and we eagerly awaited the day when we could display them. We also had a fine representation in the activities and sports of the school, even though we are the baby class. In sports some of the freshmen were Bill linsslen, Shorty Mosser, Dick Luttrell, Mikey Showell, Adele jaccard, lilsie Myers, Mary lNlcGeehan, Margaret Mctiieehan and lletty Shields. In the band, glee club, and otheriactivities many others of our class took an active part, and we look forward to an even more eventful year as Sophomores. Now we are happily anticipating three years of high school in which we hope to live up to the high standards set by the preceding classes. .40 EIGHTH GRADE L'l1z1i1'111z111, 'lzuucs Vauglmg Co-Cl1air1n:nl, NZIIICF' Vriccg St'L'l'l'lill'f', llclly l.illlQlll'L'yQ Student Council, Myrllc Ridlllllbllll, and Nancy l'1'icc. l'l'L'SillL'lll, blanc Nacklmng Yicc-I'rcsiclc11t, xIZll'Q1il'Cl XX'hila'g SL'Cl'L'l2ll'5', icnm-th .Xlclcrferg Treasurer, liclwin Iicrslmwg Stuclcnt Council, lidwin K4-rshzlw 111111 Doris Fritz. l'rcsimlcn1, Gene llcgcrg Yicc-l'1'csirIcnt, 'I'homz1s Xyiqjilllllf SCCl'Cl1ll'j' , 1111011135 S:mclilz1nclsg Student Council, 'Ioan llcnm and 111-nc llcgcr.

Despite this weakening drawback, our new coach, Mr. John Ogden, built up a line team spirit that predominated throughout the schedule. A game of special interest was the encounter, on the home field. with the l'hiladelphia School for the Deaf. It proved to be a novel experience for every- one to watch these deaf boys put their scintillating abilities to use and display their hard-hitting tactics. Our Old Prospector was no less satisfied with the performance of the home team. That the game was evenly matched and well played is made apparent by the close score: P.S.D. 7, Prospect Park O. The outstanding memory of the year was the game with Sharon Hill on our own field. Many sparkling plays and long runs highlighted this game, while touchdowns by George Diamond, Ikey Showell, and Ted johnson accounted for the 20-6 victory. The remainder of the season was not successful, from a material standpoint, due to the scarcity of experienced players. This, however, points one's thoughts toward better teams in the oncoming years. Wle expect that the coveted Delaware County Championship will be the pleasure of the Prospector in the near future. SC H li DULIE P.P.H.S.

The senior girls included Marian Megraw. Captain, Clara Sayre, Co-Captain: Helen Rathmell, Blanche Macl.ellan, julia Showell, Mildred Mclieone, .Ioan Thompson, and Ruth Depew. First team underclassmen were Mary Lou Chambers, lllarion liacon, lilinor Duke, Peggy Hewitt, and joanne llailey. This year's team was a very fast one sliding through all kinds of weather to the top with seven victories, one tie, and one loss. 'l'hroughout the year Prospect made 23 tallies, while our strong defense held the opponents to S goals. Helen Rathmell was high scorer with 6 goals. On a cold November day our hockeyettes fought in a game that everyone can remember with pride. It was from this g'HlllC4lJ2ll'lJj', that the saying, See My llruist-F originated. Had there been many more time-outs for injuries, it would have been necessary to postpone its completion to another day. Perhaps it was because llarhy is just Darby, maybe because they were undefeated, or maybe it was just because each girl gave everything she had that makes this game tirst in our hearts. The second team also had a successful season with seven victories, and two los- ses. The members were Captain .loan Thompson, Ruth Smith, Adele jaccard, lane Mullen, Ann Granger, janet Myers, liarbara Gove, Alice White, Betty Miller, Shirley Moore, and Anna j Mclieone.

Iillen James, Milly Mclieone, Peggy Hewitt, Elinor Duke, and Alice XVhite also played outstandingly dur- ing the season. Marian Mcgraw was high scorer with 106 points for the season. Our Prospect Park lassies had a total of ,296 points as against their opponents' 165. The Old l'rospector should indeed be proud of them! The games printed indelibly in our memory books are the Glen-Nor and Darby skirmishes. XVe eagerly awaited the day of our game with Glen-Nor, our traditional rival. lt was a close game throughout and the score at the half was at a 16-I6 dead- lock. After a rousing pep-talk from Mrs. Freeman we rallied our forces to forge ahead in the second half, finally winning in a 32-25 triumph. Our last game was with Darby, and we arrived at the school to find them determined to ruin our record.

Who's hoarse voice is that we hear? XVhy-that's Captain Terror Thompson urging the -forwards-f Take your time! NYC shall never forget t'Trudy Rathmell's spectacular one-hand, back-hand, lay-up shots and Gunner NICgl'HW'yS sensational ability to swish ,em through the basket from the far outside cornersg lillen james' steadiness at shooting foul shots, Milly Mclieoilt-'s stick- to-it-iveness or Doris Moore's talent for getting so many fouls! The second team was also very successful. They were undefeated until the closing' minutes of the last game-Darby, when they lost a tense and exciting battle by one point. From these stellar players of the jayvee, the Old I'rospector can look forward to many more successful seasons in the near future. Anna McKeone, Ann Granger, .lean Mullen, Dorice lloakes, forwards, and Captain Doris Moore, lflorence l'rice, Nancy Anderson, and lillen l'atterson as guards, are the nucleus of the next year's team. lVc all voice our thanks to Mrs. Howard Freeman, our Coach, who has been always our very close friend and adviserg and to llcrnice Rathbun, our hard-working and faith- ful manager. lYe hope that next year's team and the teams to come will have as much fun and pleasure out of their basketball career as we have had from ours. -ltj TRAC If you see some young fellows, clad in what appears to be long white underwear, working themselves into a lather some line spring day around the athletic field-they're not crazy, they're Track Men! Their first aim is to get into condition before the first meet rolls around. After that they strive to knock just a little more off that time, or squeeze a bit more distance out of the old arm with shot, discus, or javelin. Mr. lfyth, who very capably handles the coaching end of things, may be seen daily out on the track giving hopeful candidates some of the line points of the sport. Mr. Davis is his able assistant, and specializes in the proper technique and form of the various held events, Some of the seniors out for track are: Carter Merbreier and Jack Hovis with the weights, Malcolm Brown and David Thompson in the middle and short distance runs, Gundar Schade in pole vault and mile events. A few of the promising under-classmen are: Dick Mansure, pole vault and broad jumpg llob Wheeler in the 880 and 4401 Fred Roberts in the zzo and 440, and Bus Brown in the hurdles. VVith the many promising young recruits coming, the outlook in track for P.l'.H.S. is becoming increasingly brightg and our hopes for the near future are high. s SCHEDULE - i l f Qi: Eddystone . .,... .April 12 Open .,.,.,4......,...........,.. . ......,............,,.,.,.,, May 'Q A J Springfield .. .,., .April 19 S b b Ch M , Media ....,.,.,.,.,.,. . .,.i. ............
