We acknowledge the value of the subjects we were taught here, but we realize too that while here at Sellersville-Perkasie we derived much from our play program. Our activities outside the classroom helped to make us well rounded citizens. This book is particularly designed to show by its three divisions what developments are made through play here in our high school.

Mdfll.H L. fwller A more pleasing personality and cheerful disposition could not be found anywhere except in Martin L. Miller. Everyone is familiar with the well-known photographer on the faculty of Sellersville-Perkasie High School. It is he who is responsible for the funds that are connected with the athletic programs here at our Alma Mater. All the pictures contained in the SPhere were taken by him. His humor and vitality is radiated into everyone with whom he associates. New ideas and suggestions given by him on any matter are always received by his homeroom with gratitude and thanks. Because of these outstanding characteristics in his personality, we, the Class of 1948, dedicate the SPhere to Martin L. Miller. Wal: fwpmv .!!, in I 4 Y R R ' Nhx' jf EEK?

You of the Class of 1948 have done your best to endow yourself with this blessed heritage which you are privi- leged to enjoy. You are great citizens because you are among the remaining two-thirds of your class who have started with this birthright and carried through with this training to this end. You have proven that you are made of that which is necessary to survive ordeals and carry on despite distractions. As Americans we must i'Learn or Perish. If we are to live in peace with each other, it is not enough to claim that we will tolerate each other. Tolerate is such a cold, unfriendly word. We do not tell a loved one or a friend that we tolerate him, if we did, no doubt, he would be insulted. Let us agree not to tolerate each other but to accept each from the bottom of our hearts. This will enable us to make for greater unity and better understanding among our nation and the world. Whatever else life may give or deny-one thing is abso- lutely indispensable-that you dare not break faith with yourself, that you keep your honor bright in your own eyes. May happiness and success be yours. HOWARD M. NASE, Principal. 6 Sincere congratulations to our graduates of 1948 Through twelve years you have worked together as a team to prepare yourselves for further education and for life in a constantly changing world and an expanding universe You have helped to uphold and extend the traditions and achieve ments of our school. As graduates of Sellersville-Perkasie High School you have reached one of your greatest goals in your lives to date. But you are trained-and We hope inspired-to go on to far greater ones in the diversified careers which you will enter. To your own self be true and remember That they who put their trust in God will never be confounded. LEWIS N.

The play was ably directed by Mr. Wallace. In the cast were a number of newcomers who never appeared in a play before. Notable among these were jim Worthington, Winnie Harr, Bill Daymon, and Anna Brack. The action of the play took place in the olhces of Herrick and Martin. The plot revolved around Dot Duncan QMarie Brownj who was to marry Coffee Cup Qim Worthingtonj, but with Abel Martin QBill Daymonj playing cupid, finally de- cided she loved Stephen Herrick fDonald Smithj.

Letfs C0 to Press One ot' the high points of every report period is the publication of the Salt and Pepper, the school literary paper. This six-page printed news- paper devotes sections to topics ot' interest to everyone such as sports, gossip, and editorials. A large part of the Salt and Pepper is devoted to news about Sell-Perk. Auditorium programs, news of the faculty, senior trip, or playsAall are found in the Salt and Pepper. To accomplish all this a large staff is needed together with capable management. The Salt and Pepper is edited by Dolores Pfeffer and Mr. Wallace serves as advisor. Both of them, as well as the statt, do a splendid job. As evidence of this the circulation is mounting every year. D. Pfefter receiving Room 4's Salt and Peppers from P. Stahr. lop, Look, and Read Every Thursday in the local newspaper there is a column called School Notes. lt is written by the Weekly News Staff and gives news of the school, inter-class sports results, and literary achievements of the students. There is also a portion devoted to junior High School News. The staff works very hard to meet the deadline every week. Its job is to collect the news and write it up. The editors and the advisor, Miss Linde, ably manage the staff. The Weekly News is an important part of the sch0ol's relations with our community, and we at Sell-Perk feel it is doing a very fine job. M. Kozlowski, N. Hill, D.

Near the end of each school term a campaign is held for the Student Council presidency for the following year. At the beginning of the following year the students elect representatives. There is one representative elected from each underclass home room and two from the senior home rooms. Mr. Nase is the faculty advisor. Every Monday morning during the activity period, the representatives meet in the principals office. On Wednesday morning the representatives read the minutes of the previous meetings to the students in their home rooms. Problems are pre- sented at that time to representatives who take them to Student Council to be considered. She got her man!

Column Ri ht At every football game the newly uniformed band members marched onto the football field followed by a large group of experienced major- ettes. The tall brunette, in the big white hat, who led the band was Marilyn Parker, the capable head majorette. After the football season, which includes sev- eral pep meetings, the members start practice for their Spring Concert. Mr. Oberholtzer, who came to Sellersville- Perkasie High School a year ago, successfully or- ganized and directed the band. He also presented many new formations, among which the most remembered was the bubble blowing formation. Our experienced squad of high steppers.

These twenty students were divided into committees according to their talent or ability to do that special work. The senior editors comprised the largest group while the business managers, artists, typists, activi- ties, and sports committees put all their edort into showing the school life for 1947--48. We appreciate the hard work the staff put into the yearbook, and the patience the teachers and students endured to make this year's SPhere a successful one.

This was one time when all the teams in the league were evenly matched and before going into any game no one could tell what the outcome would be. The girls went into battle with a lot of fight and determination but seemed to lack that last ounce of push that was needed to win those many tie games that we had.

The only re- turning veterans from last year's team are Jim Hosgood and Eric Fargo. If the saying is true that a team should be strong down the middle the Sell-Perk hurlers should be a hard nine to take overg but that is yet to be seen. Hosgood is expected to catch Crouthamel or one of the many other boys out for mound duty. The sacks will probably be held down by Schock, Kratz, and Reese with Fargo at short stop. The fielding jobs will be turned over to Smith, Pritch- ard, Knipe or Gabel. Here's hoping the boys come out of the fracas with the championship! 1948 SCHEDULE Quakertown ..................

Running the Boards and Cinders Still the track coach of Sell-Perk, Mr. Druckenf miller has again pulled a hot track team out of the bag. The boys may not have the experience but they certainly have the speed and clean living habits that made an unbeatable foursome. So far the boys have not picked up a medal in the Philadelphia Inquirer Indoor Track Meet or at the Camden Meet, although they finished first in their heat. The four boys running are Tom Knipe, Dick Fusco, jim Boyer, and Eric Fargo. Substitutes are Jack Wtierstle, jim Worthington, and Rudy Faix. These boys are hoping to walk away with the honors and medals of the Bux-Mont Track Meet later in the year, but as yet they haveu't run outdoors. 4 63 Alexy and Son j.
