Virtue and honor are companions bold and brave, Their price is precious to those who know them best; Constant mercy and justice which so many crave Link with love and truth in solving life’s great test. We gain success in this life’s work of ours By winning these hand-maids to our side; We move—we live on coveted flowery bowers Which none but we can plant on time and tide. The final chapter must be penned, at last, by all; Useful hands, their volume, all too soon, must close, But souls of service may happily answer the call And, in the lives of others, find a sweet repose. Behind us stands the structure—we builded—we know The ages of time their infinite course will run; Our deeds of service, and love, and mercy will glow Anew, for men, from dawn to set of sun. Class Colors—Maroon and White. Class Motto—“Before us lies the timber, let us build.” Class Flower—American Beauty Rose. 1938 ( 16 ) 5i- 5p- RUTH FLORENCE BALTHASER “Balsy” September 25, 1920 “BaLsy has been an active member of our class during her entire school career. She may be small, but her size in no way limits her vast amount of knowledge and vitality. Ambition has always been a part of her make-up, for in the grades she had a flare for writing plays and organizing clubs. “Balsy is an all-around girl, for she not only possesses an envious scholastic record, but also great ability in sports, dramatics, and singing. In recognition of her athletic prowess, she was awarded the “Girl’s Athletic Award” in her Sophomore and Junior years. You’d wonder how she finds time to indulge in outside interests, but she does, and spends it in swimming, movies, and reading. She hopes to attend business college or become a nurse, and we’re sure she’ll be a success in whatever field she chooses. Best of luck and may your success continue.

Well, she did, and we can vouch for it. It is generally understood that her dimples and that twinkle in her eye (which the specs she dons for class room wear cannot hide) have had their effect on the young males of the surrounding territory. “Dimpy , as long as anyone can remember, has been doing the art work for our class. She can draw anything from a flower to her Uncle Harry, and, if I am any judge of ability, her success in commercial art is established. She is Interested in journalism and we who have worked under her as Editor-in-Chief of our yearbook can appreciate her ability. The best of luck!

The second smallest girl in the class was made not only to laugh and sing but earnestly to fulfill her duties. She is a good typist and one of her ambitions is to be accomplished in this field. That is one of the sides of her personality that she allows most of us to see, but they say that often she hears the call of the hills—and there are plenty of them around Robesonia to keep her busy. This seventeen year old hazel-eyed brownette is quite an easy person with whom to get along, and one of those very interesting persons who becomes enthused and even excited when something catches her imagination.

No, this is not a talking picture, but it should be, because “Yuddle” can really talk—there's no stopping her. She hails from our fair home town and has always been one of our merry group. She can be seen very actively engaged in the art of swimming or reading one of Zane Grey’s most interesting books. Her nimble fingers are quite talented in doing very neat handicraft. Myrtle’s secret ambition, however, is to be a private secretary to the president of some big business concern. We have lots of confidence in you since you are known to excel in shorthand.

Because of her good nature, she is the victim of many jokes and teasings, which puzzle her at first, but are laughed off when understood. She reminds one of a frail piece of China or, as Cfaire says, a fuzzy Persian cat. However, her appearance is misleading, for she is quite active in sports and out-door life. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes, and she is very adept and popular on the dance floor. She is an expert at casting coy smiles and panther eyes whenever a male is near by. Aside from dancing, she spends much of her time in movies and hiking, and for the past two years, usually with the same tall person. “Polly's'' ambition is to become a nurse or study dancing professionally. Here’s to health, happiness, and success, “Polly”. Dramatic Club 7-8-9-10-11-12; Glee Club 7-8-9-10-11; Athletic Association.

To most of us “Grussie” appears quiet and reserved, but those who know her tell us that hilarity and mirth fairly bubble forth when this girl enters her intimate circle. Her favorite pastime is concocting practical jokes played on the girls, which provide enjoyment at the expense of others. It is not at all difficult to convince “Grussie” that a certain young man is very interesting; indeed, she discovered that fact a few months ago. Hairdressing, we imagine, is her major interest for whenever seen, she is fixing someone’s hair. She also wishes to become “somebody’s stenog.” Home Economics Club 7-8-9-10; Press Club 11-12; Glee Club 7-8-9-10-11-12; Class Play 11-12. 1938 ( 23 1 (2afamw$ DANIEL WEBSTER POTTEIGER “Danny” October 26, 1919 Here you are. girls, step up and meet the “he-man” of the class. Oh! I almost forgot, girls, you can’t have him, for he is already interested in a dark-haired member of our class. Danny is one of our all-round athletes, having won the boys’ sport award in his junior year. He is especially fond of basketball, and his one pet ambition is to become a basketball referee. He thinks a lot but talks little; is tall, rather dark, and has an infectious grin. Danny, who began his schooling at Lower Heidelberg, joined our class in his ninth year. He was president of our class in his sophomore year and has been vice-president in his junior and senior years. Danny, we all hope you will be able to carry out your ambitions.

Yes, Grace, you are almost at the top of the mountain. Keep up the steady climb. We all remember Grace as a small blond girl who was always rather quiet, but now she has let loose for her last year’s stay in High School. Grace always had and still has a burning ambition to become a nurse. This eighteen year old grey-eyed blond has the queerest giggle which she uses among friends. Aside from giggling, her friends know her for many other things. Grace has very nimble fingers which can get a tune out of any piano and can also make a remnant into a useful article.

Maybe some people think this dark-haired and dark-eyed youth can’t talk, but don’t let him fool you. Some day when your car needs repairing, drive up and let “Flash” fix it. Although “Flash just joined us in his sophomore year, it seems as though we have known him a life-time. His chief ambition is to be an electrical engineer.

This Robert Taylor is very ambitious, and is the handy man of our class. For this reason he has become very popular with both sexes. He has made a name for himself on the basketball team, and would very much like to become a basketball coach. Every one who speaks to Earl is rewarded with a smile and a twinkle of the eye. Earl was born in North Heidelberg Township, and after beginning high school at Shillington joined our class in 1936. Success always, Earl.

We formerly thought of him as quiet and shy, but did he surprise us! You just bet he did. I believe it began with the purchase of that bright red and blue Bear jacket. That seemed to be the spark needed to ignite this tall, businesslike, twenty minus three year old lad. We believe that without his managerial ability the basketball team might often have been playing without chewing gum, and yes, even suits. Sterge is mechanical minded in every sense of the word and Mechanical Engineering seems to hold for him a thrill which he hopes to develop after graduation. We, the class of '38. hope the following years will fill your life abundantly with success and happiness.

This tall, dark-eyed and dark-haired female’s spare time is spent trying to please the “Wimpys and soda guzzlers” of the town. Her dramatic ability exceeds any of her characteristics. When all is quiet, keep your eye on “Weary , she surely will have something up her sleeve and have her audience in stitches. Her nickname surely doesn t do her justice. She is ambitious, appreciates classical music, and a fun-seeking companion. Even though she did not begin her high school days at Sinking Spring until 10th. grade, she really started first grade with us. “Weary was born in our town on January 22. 1920. Her future ambition is to own and operate a restaurant. Lots of luck, “Weary !

She has a huge amount of driving ambition and from the time she could walk has not wasted a minute. Consequently, we felt we could make no mistake in choosing her as business manager of the Calamus. Her efficiency is amazing for so small a creature (she hasn’t as yet reached the five foot mark). She likes to dance, is a good swimmer, plays basketball, and is famous throughout the western division for her cheering 8t basketball games. She is definitely planning to attend Kutztown State Teacher’s College from whence she hopes to emerge as a history teacher. Good luck, “Zechy”!

Twelve years ago we, a group of little tots, bewildered, anxious, and reluctant, began our school career. As the year waned, we discovered we liked this new adventure. The first two years were uneventful, but we recall the good times we had in the third and fourth grades at Mineral Spring Park. During the next two years quite a few members dropped out of our fold. In seventh grade, we had our first doggie roast, at Indiandale, which proved quite an event. Several hats blew off along the way but were safely recovered. Gruesome ghost stories were told which sent shivers up our spines. We explored the woods, almost got lost, but all returned home safe and sound. In our freshman year, our social life and campaign for earning money began with a boom. The first event was a Hallowe’en party held at Keener's barn which we all attended in masquerade. Games and eats, especially the peanuts which were later found in everybody's pockets, were the highlights. In November we won the first prize for Color Day, which laid the foundation of our treasury. After much dispute we selected maroon and white for our class colors and chose our emblems. Mr. Hassler was our adviser this year and coached our first play, “Mama’s Baby Boy”, which we produced on January 15, and proved a great success. In Home Economics Class, we discovered we had a great cook in our midst. Ruth Keener wondered why her junket didn’t set. after she had forgotten to add the junket pill. At Easter we all proved our ability in the culinary arts by making and selling very delicious (??) Easter eggs. As a climax, we had a class picnic at Shower's Park. Swimming, baseball, eating, and a doggie roast were the activities remembered. A splashing party, outside the swimming pool, and salted lemonade were minor catastrophes. The opening event, September 26, of our Sophomore year, with Mr. Dries as our faculty advisor, was another doggie roast, held at Grand View. After hearing much talk about a raid, we were very disappointed by a small volley of tomatoes very poorly aimed. On October 30, the class entered the Hallowe’en Parade with a maypole motif. We were the winners again of Color Day. Our next problem was to choose our class rings, which we did to everybody’s satisfaction. We next tried our luck at selling vanilla. Donning aprons again, this time to make salted peanuts, we again proved us successful cooks. We were surprised to learn that one of the girls thought that peanuts grew roasted. Our tireless efforts in the magazine campaign brought their reward—an ice cream treat for all plus a sizeable increase in our funds. As the closing — ==i ’938 ------- (32) ...... ”5i-5f-£ G Ga .W' == Class History - cont. feature of this term, we had a picnic at Green Valley Country Club, June 10, via the “Shoe Express”. After arriving our remaining energy was devoted to tennis, swimming, and baseball. A doggie roast was the first social event on our calendar for the Junior year. This was held on September 25 at Tuckerton, where we finally arrived after many detours and changes of destination. An old garden swing withstood quite a lot of punishment from the group, but finally collapsed. We forgot the chilly weather listening to the entertaining prattle of one of the '37 seniors. This year we had a Hallowe’en party at Balthaser’s dairy, where all had a good time. On November 3, we had a program featuring Mr. Bubb, a well-known artist. We held our first dance, a Valentine Dance, on February 14. This proved a great success especially for our first attempt, and established our reputation for holding successful and well-attended dances. We again repeated our success at making Easter eggs and also displayed our talent at beautifying (?) people's faces with a spoon and a dip of chocolate— very cheap method we assure you. One of the girls very thoughtfully and very quickly baked a cake in honor of the birthday of our adviser, Mr. Steckel. On April 17 we presented “Prisoners in Millersville”, which, with its jumbled and entertaining plot and the fine dramatic ability displayed, could not have been anything but a great success. June 2, found us Hershey-bound via a school bus with the Class of '40, and Mr. Dries as chaperone. This, to many of us, was the best time had as yet. After an inspection tour of the candy plant, we ate our lunch, went on the amusements, and later assembled at the swimming pool. Here we all enjoyed water tag. diving, and swimming, forgetting the bright sun o’erhead. We were quite surprised after calling that a day, to behold very red faces reflected in the mirrors, feet resembling shredded wheat, aching shoulders, and even sunburned feet. We quickly forgot, however, our discomfort and happily looked for more sport, which was found in canoeing and other amusements. After replenishing our appetites, with renewed zest we all assembled at the skating arena. It was easily seen that this was the first experience of this sort for many, but we all soon conquered it, and excused the spills. Alas, to everybody’s regret, all good times must come to a close, so we all departed homeward, on which trip we presented a picture of content and happiness, scarcely able to remain awake. Our senior year was filled to capacity. This year we took daily charge of the refreshment stand and netted a nice sum of money from it. On September 16 we had a “weiner roast at Indiandale. By the time we arrived, some of the girls to whom the “eats” had been entrusted were already filled with marshmallows. Here we learned a little about our new teachers, for they were given a chance to unbend. We all did = 1938 — (33 ) ---- 3-3r- 2aLmuS === Class History cont. just that listening to Claire Yerger’s hilarious jokes and stories. There was quite a bit of exploring the grounds and running into things we weren t supposed to. We soon tried our luck at making puffed rice balls which were very tasty. After this, Danny Potteiger very obligingly took the whole class for a ride around the countryside in the back of his model T Ford truck. We ended up by visiting Marjorie Crossman. and loosed the kinks from our joints due to the cold winds. On October 27 we held the Hallowe'en Social. The decorations were quite artistic, being corn shocks with several balloons, painted by some of the seniors, floating around. The pumpkins were missing for we were unsuccessful in our pumpkin raids. The crowd was larger than anticipated and there was a mad scramble to provide extra seating arrangements. We again won laurels in the magazine campaign and smacked our lips over a 5-pound box of sweets. We presume the underclassmen will be glad when they don’t have our competition in these campaigns. We got our pins this fall. As Christmas approached, we developed cur sales technique by selling Christmas cards. Some of us should make excellent salesmen after graduation. Several of the boys became interested in the convalescence of their classmates the day an English test was scheduled. On December 29, we had our second dance. The Holiday Dance, which also had a good turn-out. As our class play rehearsals progressed, we began thinking there was a jinx on it, for after two girls, filling leading roles, were stricken by appendicitis, a male star sprained his back, there came a report, on January 11, that Clarence Strickler had pneumonia. However, he appeared in our midst in the afternoon, hale and hearty, proving the falsity of Dame Rumor’s reports. So the play Strike Three” was given on January 12 and received a great ovation. The latter part of the year was devoted mainly to the assembling of material for our year book and the preparation of commencement exercises and our class play. Graduation pictures were taken, which we wager many people would like to possess. The “Shamrock Hop”, held on March 17, was the last dance we held. At this affair, we introduced the nickelodian. We cease reflecting upon the past and renew our journey. As we pass the last milestone, we bid a sad adieu to our guides and spurs, the teachers, who have so capably coached us in the preparation for our life work and vocations. We round the last bend of the path, and a cross-road comes into view. A signpost points to many destinations and many roads. With heavy hearts and downcast spirits, we slowly approach the end of our common path. Here we all choose the road which leads to success in our careers and future, and after many sad partings, good wishes, and hopes to see each other in the future, we branch off, singly, two-by-two, and some in three's. 1938 = ( 34) —----------0afamMS’’=E=E Class Prophecy All aboard!” was the cry given by that small, smart-looking air hostess, Ruth Balthaser, as I stepped aboard the Withers Special. This airplane was chiefly designed by that great engineer. Sterling Withers. It is our belief that this transport made of stainless steel construction will be flying the sky trails within a decade or so. There were many important people aboard, such as Fraulein Fahrenbach. who is an interpreter of foreign languages. She was accompanied by her famous dress designer, Ruth Schrosder, who designs and creates the beautiful gowns displayed in the exclusive fashion shops of Paris, London, and New York. With these few passengers aboard, the transport started its non-stop flight around the world. While in the air a few hours, the ship encountered a severe storm, accompanied by a dense fog. This made a forced landing necessary. When the fog lifted, we found that by a strange coincidence, we had landed safely at the Los Angeles Airport. While the ship was being checked and refueled by that reliable mechanic, Clarence Strickler, we satisfied our appetite at the Airport Restaurant, which was owned and operated by Claire Yerger. Having a few hours to spare after lunch, we decided to go sight-seeing. The first place of interest was the school, which was open for inspection. We attended some of the classes and to our surprise encountered Marcia Zechman as a teacher of History. Since this was her last class for the day, she invited us to see her kennels which contained Scotties and fox terriers After enjoying a delightful lunch, prepared by our hostess, a telephone call was received from the airport informing us that the plane would be delayed a few more hours. One of the guests suggested seeing a basketball game to pass time. There happened to be a game at the arena that night between the Bears and Lions. At the entrance of the arena, we were given a schedule with a list of players, and to cur astonishment, we found the names of Coach Daniel Potteiger and Earl Stump on the list. Our anxiety to meet them was great, because we had been classmates during high school days. The game was very interesting I assure you. Well, I won t tell you who won. you’ll have to use your own judgment. After the game, we returned to the airport where a large, lighted billboard, advertising a famous national product, attracted attention. We had only to glance at it to recognize it as one of a series done by Anna May Cassel, who had already achieved national fame in this line. We again boarded the transport to renew our journey. The trip across the ocean was very interesting, watching the large ships which looked like small birds at our height. The hostess described many of the important places of interest to us. for we were all very excited passengers. Near the city of Shanghai, one of the passengers became = '938 = (35) F------- Si-SrSCi 0afa� Class Prophecy critically ill and had to be taken to a hospital immediately. The plane landed at Shanghai Airport, where I accompanied the hostess and passenger to the hospital. There, to my surprise, Grace Sallade was the Head Surgical Nurse. We were relieved to see that the passenger was in such reliable hands. Returning to the plane, the hostess checked the passengers and found a stranger on board. Guess who she turned out to be? None other than Grace Hafer, who owns the Deluxe Beauty Shoppe in New York. She had been vacationing in Shanghai and was returning to New York to open another new shop which was already in the process of renovation. Touring the European countries, with speedy flight we crossed the ocean to New York. We were very glad to see the Statue of Liberty marking our return to the United States. On landing at New York, and checking our baggage at the customs house, we found Myrtle Fromm as a private secretary, and a very efficient one. Having seen all our classmates, we all departed to our different walks of life, each wishing the other happiness as he went along. Class Will and Testament We, the Class of 1938 of the Sinking Spring High School, of the County of Berks and the State of Pennsylvania, being physically fit, morally responsible, and mentally alert, do hereby declare, make, and publish this, our last will and testament in manner and form as follows: First—We direct that all our obligations be met and fulfilled satisfactorily as soon after our departure as is possible. Second—We give and bequeath to the Junior Class our ambition and our inherent ability to achieve success in our efforts to build up a class treasury, and in addition, our distinguished athletic record. Third—We give and bequeath to the Sophomore Class our instinct to maintain dignity without being snobbish, along with our dramatic ability and scholarly talents. Fourth—Ruth Balthaser, the scholastic genius of our class, bequeaths her inherent ability to Marian Harpel, (and hopes she will do her justice). She also gives to Feme Schuler her love of sports and the faculties necessary to achieve an outstanding record in athletics. Fifth—Anna May Cassel, our modern Raphael, bequeaths her exalted position of Chief Artist of the Sinking Spring High School to George Yochum, whom she hopes will willingly oblige when advertising posters are needed. She also gives her ability to translate Latin impromptu (without the aid of a pony) to Doris Haas.

He pauses, and stands where others stood; Looking down the narrow way. Dusk hides the setting sun’s last beam Far from the narrow way— The weary traveler sinks, so to seem— To rest, till break of day. The night is long and dark by-ways Are haunted by men who fear The light of God’s free sunlit days Which to weary travelers are dear. The traveler trod the Jericho road And the Samaritan brot him in To the hospital where there was one who strode Tall, and kindly, and thin. She bathed the wounds of the traveler worn, His mind she set at ease; A nobler girl has ne’er been born— Pauline Gottshall, if you please.

The class sponsored a musical program featuring Anthony Monde, the accordionist, and local musicians and dancers, on March 29. Mr. Monde's program was well received by a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Monde’s selection Two Guitars” was encored three times. He conducts a school for accordion instruction at 326 N. 4th Street in Reading, Pa. He designs his own instruments and played his famous Mondegrande’’ at this performance. Prospective accordion students will find it no difficult task to possess an accordion. The class has to date an enrollment of thirty-one pupils.

The club is composed of 11 Seniors and Juniors, with Miss Bastian as adviser, Anna May Cassel as editor, and Claire Yergfr as business manager. We, the Press Club, in publishing this paper have tried to establish closer bonds between the parents and the students and to mirror the school life to those outside the school.

Debating Team The members of the Senior High School were again given an opportunity to display their ability in the forensic art of debating. Those selected for the teams served admirably well, under the coaching of Miss Parnell. The question was “Resolved, that the several states should adopt their constitution to provide for a unicameral system of legislature”. Our negative team was pitted against Robesonia, in their auditoriom, and the affirmative side debated here with the negative orators of Bethel. Both teams displayed fine work but lost hard-fought battles. The teams Affirmative Anna Schnabel Anna Wartluft Dick Weidman Robert Tobias (Alt.)

Boys Varsity Basketball Team The Sinking Spring Bears enjoyed their most successful season in the league since 1935 by ending up in third place in the Western Division. The Bruins won five and lost five and defeated every team at least once except Wilson, who were the Champions of the Western Division. Not much was expected from the team with only two varsity holdovers from last year, but the new members showed up well, and although they got off to a slow start, they finished strong.

Cheerleaders There is no doubt but that the success of the Bear's varsity basketball team must in some measure be attributed to the inspiring leadership of our cheer leaders. These girls have worked hard throughout the year and have scored quite a success with their version of “The Big Apple” yell. Since none of them will graduate, they are expecting to start out next year with brand new uniforms and yells, and cheer the team to victory. Margaret Flamish. a regular member of the squad, is not included on this picture, neither Jeanne Greath. a substitute. 938 ( 53 ) C. C CY '. o f � 1st. Row: N. Pehr, E. Long, J. Ludwig, Mascot, C.

Junior Varsity Basketball Team The Junior Varsity squad, captained by Warren Long, did not have quite as successful a season as the Varsity. However, many of the games were lost by a very close margin, and some very exciting games were played. Ed Foret, playing his first year of basketball, with Captain Long, were the mainstays of the squad. Eddie broke up two very fast games, which ended Dick Merriwell type, by scoring goals in the final seconds of play. Pennside felt the effect of one of these and Womelsdorf the other. Earl Long, brother of Warren, also made his initial appearance ir. competition and gained some very valuable experience that will serve him well during his next few years of Varsity competition. Carl Greth played a steady game, and when he speeds up next year should prove to be a find. While all the remainder of the boys played good basketball, still much can be done in the way of improvement and with this one year of experience behind them, many of the Junior Varsity men will make it pretty tough for the present varsity material to hold their positions on the squad. Prospects for a good Junior Varsity season next year are bright 1938--------------------------- = (54) 5i-5f-0G (Safamws ShSp-SG C 2afcmiu$ 5i-5p- SK 0afam«s Ml W tch the. birjj Dojis BrOW Eves I tK« Past ►n py 5i-Sr£ Ci Alumni 1904 Emma C.
