CLASS HISTORY During the month of Sept., 1924, a group of happy children started what is now the Senior Class. Little is known of the first few years of our school career; not until our Seventh year. This year the enrollment was S2; 16 girls and 16 boys. When we returned after the summer vacation we lost 6 of our pupils. In our Freshman year we had 29 pupils. This year Sarah Lamm and Henry Fertig joined our class. Our first class officers were elected as follows : President, Thelma Bickel; Vice President, Grace Mogel; Secretary, Gladys Dunkelberger; Treasurer, David Gring. The summer months passed; and after returning to school we lost ten more members. We elected the following officers: Henry Fertig, President; Grace Mogel, ' ice President; Marie Dunkelberger, Secretary; and Miss Snyder, Treasurer. At the end of our Sophomore year, Miss Snyder, our English and Home Room teacher for four years, left this school. The class gave her a farewell party. Mr. Steckel and the members of the class attended. Eats were the center of interest. In our Junior year, Henry Fertig again served as President; Grace Mogel, Vice President; Irene Foret, Secretary; Sarah Lamm, Student Treasurer and Mr. Steckel, Faculty Treasurer. This year the class sponsored a St. Valentine's Social and the Junior Class play entitled So You're From Missouri. For a first attempt it proved to be very successful. During the year, Irene Foret left our class, and Ernestine Edris was elected as Secretary. Days passed by, and before we knew it we were back in Sinking Spring High to finish our school career. The newly elected officers were: Henry’ Fertig, President; Grace Mogel, Vice President; Ernestine Edris, Secretary; Sara Lamm, Student Treasurer; and Mr. Steckel, Faculty Treasurer. Only one month went by and the class lost another one of its faithful members. Due to this mishap, Emily Yoh was elected as Vice President of the class. This year we presented our class play, Youth Comes Tripping,” and had charge of the Hallowe'en and St. Patrick's Socials. We find there are only eight members of this happy group left, but we know it is and always will be the best class in the history of our school. EMILY YOH 1936 Page Fifteen

I want to pay tribute with a word or two Our sentiments en masse. There arc men and women in the business world Who know their job and some more: But here is a girl for whom many a heart whirled-Found broken and bleeding galore. A private secretary she'd like to be Perhaps among the flowers: It's hard to find what you wfant—you see— Sometimes you're left in the showers. But here is a girl who will surely be In an office, store or bank. Doing the work of a fine secretary, One of the first in the order of rank. Good luck!
