Miric. P’v sical Education and Hygiene are required of all students. Mechanical Drawing will be ofTcred in connection with Manual Arts. Electives marked (1» means that you may elect one. Due to the fact that the Junior and Senior classes had been combined this year on account of the small classes, the Senior or Fourth Year subjects were given. Consequently for the coming term the Junior or Third Year subjects will be given. No Senior for the next term will be permitted to take the Commercial Curriculum unless he or she wish to re»urn next year and complete the course. This provision will be gladly made for those students and parents desiring such arrangements- For the benefit of the parent and the student the following cautions must be noted: 1. Much though we should like to give as much freedom in the election of subjects to fit their de-rires and hopes, it becomes impossible to do so for reasons that have been noted on the preceding page. Consequently parents and tudents should not request the privilege or right to reject or demand subjects which are or are not offered for that particular year 2. Each curriculum requires at least four years for completion. To be entitled to a diploma, a student must have completed all the subjects required in the curriculum selected. 3. Pupils and their parents are urged to consult the principal before making a selection of the ruiricu’um to ’ pursued. Changes from one curriculum to another, or substitutions in any one curriculum will not be allowed except by consent of the principal. ■ . Since college entrance requirements differ so ?:eatly, it is expedient to know what units are required for entrance to colleges of your preference. This information should be obtained before selecting your curriculum in the first year or not later than the second year. College catalogues are on file in the library. The interpretation of colie je requirements will be given by the principal 5. Consistent home study i3 necessary in the High School. It is highly desirab’e that parents -n- »urage from two to three hours of home study daily. Time during the school day is not sufficient to do all the study. C. No selection of the curriculum will be accepted unless approved and signed by the parent or ''r-onal conference with the principal. The latt:r is very much desired. Be careful in your selection. .... xssmm Lyceum Course Patrons of irood wholesome music and entertainment had a splendid opportunity to realize their hows this year in the Lyceum Course offered by the High School. The talent absolutely was of the highest cali bre in the Lyceum Circuit. Every number was hard to be rivaled. Every number was also different from any other. The course included seven numbers, four mirical, two dramatic and one humorist. The musical numbers included The Margot Hayes Symphony Ensemble. Krantz Family Concert Com-nanv. Anollo Male Trio, and The Dixie Jublilee Singers. The Margot Hayes Symphony Ensemble was an operatic presentation with Margot Hayes. Mezzo soprano. of the Metropolitan Opera as the star character. Her wide range of operatic to dashing Spanish air pleased a’l who heard her. The Krantz Family Concert Company presented one of the mod varied and versatile musical program ever heard in this community. The Apollo Male Trio presented an instrumental and vocal program which satisfied the demands of patrons from beginning to end The Dixie Jubilee Singers offered a very descriptive musical program woven around the slavery days of the n To and was without a doubt unexcelled. The two stage presentations Old Crusty Takes the Air. and Skidding gave the patrons more than they anticipated. Both plays were New York stage productions that made tremendous hits in that city and ether cities before they entered he Lyceum Circuit. A an original humorist, there are few who can approach Bergderfer. vs msssm vzmsmss®' In spite of the excellent course it received very poor patronage but a great deal of the blame must be levied upon the business depression. msssmsm msassmm Visual Education What cne hears may often times be forgotten but tw c impressions of what one acquires through the eye are seldom forgotten. The newest and most acclaimed method of teaching to-day is that of visual education. During th«- year several demonstrations were given through the courtesy of the Hammermill Paper Company of Erie, Pa. who loaned a motion-film projector and three reels on the making of paper, ;V Bell Telephone Company who loaned six reels on communication and the General Electric Company w. h three reels on electricity. From the funds raised by activities such as operettas and athletic association, a Spencer Delineo-reepe Projector was purchased for the school. It is one of the most modern, having three projections, namely: glass slides, still film and microscopic. It is hoped that by another year a motion-film projector may also become a part of the equipment of the school.

P. Klopp. the music teacher, began to sift for voices to use on a glee club The sifting resulted in the election of seventy five voices which Prof. Sowers organized into a glee club. Mr. Sowers, assisted by Mrs. Lambert and Mr. Merkel conducted this club in their rehearsals and renditions. More time in rehearsing and possibly better trained leaders could have developed a splendid singing organization but the above named instructors could not give enough time to training these voices and consequently very little w'as heard of them other than in several programs and in the operetta. The members of the club are as follows: SOPRANOS: Arlene Gring. Miriam Schrack. Blanche Machemer. Dorothy Potteiger. Ruth Harpel. Verna Yerger. Ardell Moyer. Elanor Balthaser, Roberta Cassel. Bernice Behrenhausen. Ethel Showalter, Margaret Hawthorne. Helen Lutz. Irene Resh, Mariloulse Freeman. Betty Binkley. Louise Moyer. Florence Allen. Lillian Balthaser. Kathryn Ludwig. Thelma Bickel.

The fact that the music teacher was employed for only one day per week greatly handicapped the progress that could have been made in orchestral work. The rehearsals and training rested chiefly upon a student leader Christian Harnish and Mr. Sowers. Several excellent programs were rendered during the year. One odd feature about it was the over balancing of stringed instruments against brass or wind instruments. The members of the club were as follows: Piano:—Arlene Gring. Ruth Harpel. Violin:—Alfred Flamish. Harvey Mogel, Edward Mogel. Ruth Brubaker. Marilouise Freeman. Ethel Pennabecker. Mandolin:—Bernice Behrenhausen. Gladys Dunkelberger. Louise Moyer, June Moyer. Thelma Bickel. Banjo - Mandolin:— Ardell Moyer, Pauline Lutz, Lillian Balthaser Banjo:—Richard Schlffer. Guitar:—William Moyer. Cornet:—Christian Harnish. Charles Alspach. Trombone:—Eugene Weidman. Traps:—Chester Bright. Observation Night One of the most gratifying occasions of the early part of the school year was observation night held on November 13. The program was planned in observation of National Education Week and included regular scheduled classroom work from the first grade through the high school. The teachers and pupils alike demonstrated very efficiently the objectives of public education. Over two hundred patrons were present to witness the demonstration and were well satisfies by what was being done. About ninety per cent of the pupils were in attendance and participated in the activities. There were quite a number of visitors from other communities in attendance. Most people are not aware of what the regular routine of school work includes but this occasion convinced them that it was more than mere routine. It was an actual, living process. Greetings From the Alumni As President of the Sinking Spring High School Alumni Association, it affords me pleasure indeed, to exnress to the members of the Graduating Class of 1931 the congratulations of the Alumni group for the success in publishing the first High School Year Book. All of us look back to our High School days with a feeling of pride for the contribution that our class has made to our Alma Mater. The Class of 1931 may regard the achievement worthy of commendation, and can regard the initiative displayed in this enterprise as a valuable contribution to their High School. The Alumni Association was organized both for the promotion of fraternal relations of its members and also for assistance it can render in promoting the best interests of our school. We meet annually in the banquet hall to renew acquaintances and make new associations. The members of the graduating class each year are cordially invited to partake of these festivities as our guests with the hope that they will be so well pleased with the efforts of the Alumni Association that they will want to become actively indenti-fled. The question often occurs to me as no doubt it occurs to many of the Alumni whether we are doing our full share toward the promotion of the best interests of the school. We have failed many times to grasp the opportunity of doing our best. But as an organization, with limited means at our disposal we have at least tried to help in a small way to promote the interest of S. S. H. 8. Fraternity is a means of education. After we leave school our education will continue to expand and function. By promoting good will among a group of citizens linked together by the ties of educational interests we are rendering a service to our maker, our country, our school, and our-selves. That you may succeed in your future fields of education. and that you may be good American Citizens, mindful of your noble heritage, is the wish to the Graduating Class of 1931, from your Alumni Association. Paul I. Speicher, President
