ALBERT LEROY WARTLUFT The portrait accompanying this biography is none other than that of Albert Wartluft or Wartzy as he is known to us. His favorite expression is Howdy . Wartzy was bom in Sinking Spring on May 4, 1315. He joined our class in third grade and has been a faithful worker and student ever since. Although Albert never professed to claim scholastic honors he was very active in sports. He sustained a broken leg during a basketball game in his Senior year. But we think Albert received his inspriation from a certain Junior. He was a member of the Press Club. Wartzy” has a desire to undertake business administration and some day we expect to see him manager of a large firm. But no matter what you undertake, we wish you. our Class President, the b st of luck.

 §♦ ❖ « ► ■ - o» ' » I - 3 ❖ - WHAT AFTER GRADUATION ? » ❖ f 3 - £ ♦ £ £ £ f ■» £ - Ac the hands of the clock draw nearer to the tim? when they will chime the hour of cur departure frcm this high school, we are confronted by the problem “What after graduation? Although, before, we hud not considered it as seriously as we do now. we haJ always looked forward to the time when we wou d receive our diplomas and to the time when we would be thrown upon our own initiative. As most hi h rchool students do. we looked forward to the time when our public school career would come to an ''nd. Now. since the time draws nearer, we realize more fully the importance and the real value which lies in the individual's reaction to the problem What aft. r graduation? The solution of this problem lies entirely withir. the student’s determination and willingness to succeed. As we are cast forth into the wide universe, some of us will climb the ladder of success, siep by step: others will fall by the wayside. In this day and a°e I he world does not wait for the individual who fails to respond to opportunity's call and falls by the wayside. Someone else is patiently waiting for that same opportunity. I see two roads in the distance, leading in opposite directions. The one, the road to failure and degradation, is the easier to travel because it does not require as much effort as the other; the other road, the road to success and happiness, is a long, rugged, toilsome, and careworn road. At the end of the latter road, or the end of the rainbow (rainbow used according to an old proverb) there is a pet of gold waiting for each of us who traveled the road by ourselves. Why can't we. as Seniors starting out on a new adventure, find that road to success and climb the rugged rocks? Your Am step is your answer to the problem What after graduation? Whether you are planning to enter college, whether you are planning to enter a business school or whether you are planning to engage, immediately after graduation, in some sort of work, opportunity still knocks at your door. Your place in the world of tomorrow Is waiting for you. Before graduation, make up your mind what your definite goal in life is gorng to be. and. after graduaMon. strive earnestly to attain that goal. When failures come and cares and .roubles are cast ui»on your shoulder, don't give up! Bear your burdens, and as the years roll by. each burden will become lighter and aid you in meeting your misfortunes in the future. After graduation, don't build castles in the air and don’t be a day-dreamer. Make your dreams come true. Some day. when you have attained the highest success possible for you to attain, you will look back to the time of your graduation from high school; and in looking oack you will realize that your success lay in your decision and thoughtfulness on “What after graduation?” You will never regret the time you spent in considering your immediate life after graduation. Tills was the foundation of your success. Bernice D. Behrenshausen Class of 34 -V •O A A A A 4 4 4 4 A 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 A •V 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 A •Q 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 A 4 A 4 A 4
