Every individual has his place in this world regardless of whether that place is large or small. All individuals may be segregated into two main groups- those who lead and those who follow. Everyone looks up to and admires a competent leader but the follower is, too often, forgotten. Though contrary to common belief, to be a good follower one must have intelligence. Behind us lie our first twelve years of education. Now, as we embark upon the journey of life, may those of us who do not become leaders be good followers.

Steckel, who organized, advised, and supervised the compilation and publication of this yearbook. We, the Class of 1949, are proud to dedicate this, THE 194-9 IMAGO, to those who aided us most in our High School years. To Mr. Robert L. Fisher, who was not only our home room advisor in tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, but a most intimate friend, as well. ln our years of Senior High School we came to trust him with our problems and respect his judgment and advice. His firmness was an ever present reassurance that we could success- fully combat any task which lay before us. MR. A. D. STECKEL, Ph.B., MA.

Sn ing ,effing This borough derives its name from a spring located in the eastern part of the town. This spring has a periodic f'low and, at times, is entirely out of sight. The settlers in this town were the Pennsylvania Germansf, They were very much interested in agriculture but later turned their ideas to manufacturing. Hosiery mills, electric light plants, coal and lumber yards were among the earliest industries established. The first settlers came to this section as early as 1728. The most prominent families at this time were the Kricks and the Grings. The town was founded in 1831 and was incorporated as a borough in March, 1913. The first election was held in April, 1913. At this election John Glassmeyer was named the first burgess of Sinking Spring. The oldest building in the town is the Eight-cornered Schoolhouse . It was first built as a Baptist church and was located on the Old Tulpehocken Road, now Mull Avenue. Later this building was remodeled into a school which was used for many years. It is standing to-day. In 1896 a larger school was built on Vester Place and John Hartman was named the first principal. ln 1921 the building was damaged by fire and a larger and more modern building was erected. During the reconstruction period the pupils attended classes in the churches, fire hall and Orioles building. ln 1922 Steffy's cigar factory was re-established into a bank, which to-day is known as the Sinking Spring Bank.

Twenty-Eve mago 1949 Cfadd .jvhafory The time has come for the class of '49 to review our memories of our school days. The first six years of school passed quickly, and then came the memorable day when we climbed the stairs to high school for the first time. We found our homeroom teacher was to be Miss DeTurk whom we had for our stay in junior high. We began seventh grade with twenty-nine members on our class roll. During the coming years our class membership dropped to the present fifteen. Our first task was to elect class officers which was a new experience for all. Harold Fleisher became President, Dawn Lambert, Vice President, Joan Weidman, Secretary. Our first social event was a class party held in the high school gym on March 31, 1944. We opened our eighth grade term with the usual election of officers. They were President, Ray Miller, Vice President, James Kramer, Secretary, Ardelle Potteiger. Our social event for the year was a doggie roast held at Egelman's Park Eff September 22, 194-4-. As freshmen many new things confronted us. Our first main task was election of officers. They were President, James Kramer, Vice President, James Reeserg Secretary, Alice Zimmerman. Early in the year the class held a doggie roast at Egel- man's. We held our first money-making activity this year which was a movie Blondie Meets the Boss . This was held for the purpose of raising money to put our class pictures in the yearbook. As freshmen, we also selected our class colors of blue and gold, our class flower, the yellow rose and our class motto, In ourselves our future lies . The class presented a play, Milestones in Education as a part of their Junior High Commencement Activities which were held May 27, 194-6. The following officers were selected for our sophomore year. President, Ray Miller, Vice President, Leo Koehler, Secretary, Joan Weidman. During the year the class held a doggie roast and also a Hallowe'en party. Movies entitled Stage Door Canteen were presented on October 10, 1946. As sophs we held our first dance Tw enty-six Cfaaa ihdforg Rose Budis Whirl on May 8, 1947. It was a great success in every way. At the close of the year we selected the following officers for our junior year: President, Harold F leisherg Vice President, Ronald Stiefg Secretary, Joan Weidman. Since a Student Council has been established this year, two new oliicers, U.S.O. Representa- tives, were'elected. They were Ray Miller and Dawn Lambert. As our junior year opened we immediately began to work on our junior class play, A Bacheloris Honeymoonf' which was held on October 9, 1947. This year we also sponsored a movie lt Happened Tomorrow and the St. Patrick's Day Dance Irish-D-Litev. As juniors, we met with many tasks such as choosing class rings and class hats. We also changed our former class colors to maroon and white and our class flower became the white rose. As the year drew to a close we began looking forward to our senior year. Harold Fleisher, again, became our Class Presidentg Ronald Stief, Vice President, ,loan Weidman, Secretary, Ray Miller and Nancy Schadler, U.S.O. Representatives. We, Seniors, came back to school for the last time confronted with a full schedule. Our first problem was our class play A Case of Springtime . We pre- sented it on October 14, 1948 and, despite all difficulties, was a great success. We took time outi' for a doggie roast at Egelmanis on September 24, 1948. Our greatest task was the '49 almagoi' which required constant work during the entire year. The class held a Hallowe'en dance The Witches' Wobble on October 29, 1948. Our last social event was our semi-formal dance held on April 30, 194-9. Our grand-and-glorious Senior year was drawing to a close and, at last, came the event which will be remembered by everyone, our graduation exercises. Our final class play was presented on May 19, 1949. Commencement exercises were held on May 24, 1949. Baccalaureate Service were held at St. ,lohn's Reformed Church on May 22, 1949. . Twenty seven 141090 313 S i' mag., 1949 jke glam nop ecg jar jAe gfaaa of Z9 Thirty It was the evening of June the Tenth, Nineteen hundred Fifty-Nine. It was the class reunion for the class of '49. The scene is the reception room of the Berkshire Country Club, where the group is supposed to meet. Miss Joan Weidman is in charge of the Banquet which is to precede the dancing. Miss Weidman is a very successful Secretary of the club. This is why she was chosen to make the arrangements for the reunion. The time is eight o'clock and the guests are beginning to arrive. Here comes Harold Fleisher and he is doing very well as a salesman. Wien he was in school he always said he wanted to be a salesman, but the rest of the class had their doubts. But he fooled us all. He'll be around to your house one of these days, so watch out, he has a super-sales talk. Harold was our class President so it seems natural that he would be one of the first to arrive. He was hardly here when a yellow cab pulls up to the door. When the door was opened by the driver we saw a person with a lovely hair-do step out. Who else could it be but the one and only Joan Ritter. Her face is very red, this time it is from hurrying and not from laughing. Joan has a thriving beauty shop on North Fifth Street. Perhaps you have seen it? It is Miss Ritter's Beauty Salonf, Of course, the name may soon be changed as Joan has her eyes peeled for some young man. She will be a good catch, too, because she has quite a bit of money. She sits on the sofa as J im Kramer enters. Jim was in the Navy, you know, and we hear he had a girl in every port. ,lust like him! His face is browned from many months in the Tropics. He settles down in a good easy chair and begins to tell the assembled group about his experiences. You know that Jim always had a knack for telling stories. We asked him -if he could do the sailors horn pipe, but he said he was not that good at dancing. While he was telling stories, Nancy Schadler and Dawn Lambert came in together. Nancy is managing a successful business school in New York City. All the big business people come to her, because they know that she turns out the best Secre- taries in the City of New York. It took a lot of hard work on Nancy's part but now she is enjoying the fruit of her toil. She hopes the girls of her Alma Mater will come to her school, because she assures them that they will get a good job. We all believe her, because her word is'as good as gold. Dawn is a Gym teacher in her old Alma Mater. She is doing a bang up job too. We hear that she is coaching a girls' basketball team this year again, and they have hopes of winning the championship. If her team wins the championship this year it will be for the third time. Of course, we all wish her the best of luck. A big Packard rolls up to the door, and Ray Miller and Charles McCane step out. Charles was in the Navy for nine years, but now he runs a big gas station and restaurant on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. While he was in the service he saved enough money to set himself up in business. He is thinking about buying more stations next year,-if he does not buy any he may go back into the service. No matter what Charlie does we all wish him the best of luck. If his luck lasts as long as his crew cut, he will have enough to last him the rest of his life. Ray Miller is, also, very successful in the building supply business. He followed right in the footsteps of his Dad. He is doing a booming business because the rate of new homes being built right now is higher than it was for the last eight years. He has, also, built a few more apartment houses. So you see that he is doing alright for himself. Curly headed Leo comes in next. Mutz does not have one regular job. He is more or less a ,lack-of-all-Trades. Right now he is not working, for you see, he is mago I 9 jie Cfaaa pfophecy jar jke Cfma of Z9 a policeman. But he looks as happy as any of us. Leo is just about to speak when a New York cab pulls up to the door. We wonder who this ravishing figure is as she alights from the cab. She walks toward the door with an air of superiority and feminine poise about her. We are still wondering who this ravishing creature is when in walks Norma F eyl. She is a Powers model now, and she is doing very well for herself. You often see her face on the covers of the leading magazines. She was, also, offered a contract for the new movie- Princess of Monte Cristof' But she was undecided whether she was going to accept it or not. She does not look like the girl we used to know in school and we can hardly believe that it is she. While she is telling the girls about her hardships getting started as a model, they are admiring her new Paris creations. The time is passing along very fast and not everybody is here yet. The orchestra is starting to tune up and it makes us think of our High School Band tuning up during assemblies. All of a sudden James Reeser comes in and starts to crack jokes. He is still the same old Pete . He is not doing anything at present. But he doesn't need to as he is living off the fortune he made when he invented a new kind of car. He has also invented numerous other gadgets which have brought him fame and fortune. Next come Virginia Hiester and Alice Zimmerman who just happened to get on the same bus. Alice is a nurse in a maternity hospital at present, but next year she intends to start a training school for nurses. We can easily understand why she is so successful, because she looks very beautiful in her trim suit and neat hat. Virginia has fulfilled her ambition to be a Receptionist. She is one of the best Receptionists in the law firm of Stephens and Lee in the city of Reading. But she soon intends to retire from her job and settle down to home life. Next come Ronald Stief and Nancy Hertzog. Ronald tells the group that he was driving along minding his own business when just ahead of him he sees a slight accident. Naturally, he stops to see if he can be of service. To his surprise, he sees that the cause of the accident was due to the crazy driving of Nancy. He volunteered to bring Nancy to the reunion. Luckily no one was hurt, that is why she was able to come along without any delay. Ronald is a teacher at Penn State and is doing very well. He also has a large chicken farm in Sinking Spring. He has great plans for the future but he will not disclose them at present. Ronald still has his Jeep although he did not use it this evening. Nancy is a Secretary for the Insurance firm of Essick and Barr, in the City of Reading. She had to work late tonight. That is why she was hurrying to get to the reunion. She handles the Insurance for many of the big firms in Reading. She is, also, putting in a plug for the Insurance she sells. Now that we are all here except Barbara we are wondering where she is. Just then a waiter comes in and hands Harold a Telegram. He tears the epistle open, and reads: CLASS OF ,49 STOP CAN NOT GET THERE STOP SORRY STOP SERIOUS ILLNESS IN FAMILY STOP SEE YOU NEXT TIME STOP BARBARA We are all sorry that Barbara can not get here but we are not going to let this spoil our fun. So as the orchestra starts to play we go into the next room and start the dance. This ends the reunion for the class of '49, but next time we do not want to wait so long before we meet again. Thirty one mago 1949 CVM W We, the Seniors of Sinking Spring High School, being as sound in mind and body as can be expected as a result of the schedule so rigidly followed, leave this, our first, last, and only Will and Testament.
