We know not how to express our deep felt appreciation, except by striving to do those things for our and our associates' betterment Consequently, we are publishing this book, hoping it to be an inspiration to future classes. During this turmoil of strife ‘and hate, our thoughts automatically dwell on patriotism, we wish you to note the fact that wo have triod to do tho utmost in our power to help the war effort. Wo think it fitting and proper that we here stop in our meditations to thank properly our principal, Hr. E. L. Prost-wood, to whom wo dedicate this book, for the aid he has givon us through the past year. Thanks is due tho Board of Education for their kindness and consideration in our bonofit. Our most sincere thanks also to our benefactors and supervisors: Hiss Noll, Mr. 5. A. Evans, Mr. Serfuss, and Mr. Kistler who have spent a great deal of tine and patience, for our enuso, in tho development of this book. Last but not least, we wish to thank Ernest Kelchner, a Junior, for his excellent urtistic ability usod in our book. We hope that you, when paging through tho annals of the years, will not neglect to take a glance at tho Class of'43 with duo consideration to those who have taken an active part in it.

It is not without previous consideration that we do this. Having distinguished himself in the past with a highly successful career ns head of our English Department, and presently serving very rbly in the capacity of our Supervising Principal, Hr. Prestwood has had experience which he is using to the advantage of everyone concerned: his coop- eration with teacher and student in problems both personal and collective, his democratic way of dealing with them in all transactions, is v. e 11-known and appreciated. ’.diet better reason, then, that we should dedicate this, our Class Annual, to him? Through this dedication, we arc assuring Hr. Prestwood of our cooperation in ail his endeavors and of our sincere hope for harmony and success in his future years as our Principal.

Our cures rest in days that pro gone; But no day is so utterly dre ry That ther. seems to be dismal dawn. No human being becomes discouregt-d. Though his mind's filled v ith torment and pain. That by turning a now loaf over IJf.y begin f new life arc-in. The world's nt dt for joy � nd for laughter. No one nnr- rs and throve pis few hours of borrowed tine on Earth To the: winds. He reaps that which he sows. Time takes her pen of the Present, And, in the Book of the Ages, Records ovary moment of happiness On tattered and vfell-worn pages. So smile, and go through Life With the challenge that No one is stronger than II For you'll find when th- l«ff is turned over, There’s no truth in saying, Hope will die. There'll bo to;rs, there’ll be anguish, But to us the talc is told: Beyond lies that glittering city Where the humble find thoir ;old. -Bottv M.

The faculty, as our supe--if'rs, helped us untiringly to step into th.-.s new phase of life. Ambitions, abilities, and detemination were the de-o'-.ci’ig factors which finally settled the question of which branch of service we s. rule enter. This accomplished, we to -(c up our duties and activities. Then, a little more confident, and , for the most part, better trained; we took up our first class rrivate instruc-tion as sophomores. By now, wo were mere accustomed to the routine,and found f’oon for Off-duty activities. Among the most prominent was our local Cantoen (•Smith Hall) where our more active could let out their stored up energy. Here, I.lr. William Reese, a huslcy general, entered our ranks. Under his able leadership, our football team began to make a name for itself. Following its example, our basketball and baseball teams also began to pep up . Having attained the required standards, wo started our Junior term as Corporals. How our training was really progressing; and, in the case of many of our oonrndes, prospering as well. But it was not all work; memberships in our various clubs, band, orchestra, chorus, athletics, and other extra, curricular activities, became more and more numerous. At this point. Hr. Cle 'ton Clifford joined our staff. Our Junior Play,under Miss Morgan's direction, was entitled, A.ll Ort A.ccount Of Luella . Stukcy Hopper was a football hero who was troubled by the intor-f ences of big sister, Lu llr. Wo thin’ the com- dy was a great success. Thj Junior Declamation Contest was hold in April. There w.-ro two sections, with separate prizes for the boy and girl participants. RoscNci Mark-oil oapturad the girl's prize;Rob'-rt Betzen berger won the boys prize, adding a?.co the coveted first arise in the County Declamation Contest According to army regulations, vt elected our officors with Dale ftoagna-as President; Frank Yale, Vice Presi dent; Ella Handwork, Secretary; Annette Greene, Treasurer. For our troop colors wo chose royal blue and gold, and ‘yd a choice between onyox or gold rings. On Hay 27th, we reached the clim.x of our Corporalship in the form of our Junior Prom and Banquet. Bud Rador furnished the music for tho Prom; while o”r local talent entertained ys at the Banquet. At last we have attained the envied position of Sergeants-----Soniors. Rooms 24 and 18 have bocome our barracks. It is our turn to tantalize tho buck privates; now we are the admired troop. Many of our instructors have either changed or left our battalion. Mr. Prostwood ha.s succeeded Hr. Loidich; Mr. Kistlor has stepped into Hr. Acker's niece; Mr.Snyder has taken Hr. Hausman's place; Hiss Noll and Hr. Fries are new additions to our Commercial Department. Everyone recognizes their excellent work As soldiers wo realize and appreciate the fact that sono of our privileges cannot bo carried on. However, our class will be the instigator of a new and perhaps lasting event-------a Senior Banquet and Prom. It was not whrt we had anticipated for those four years, but it gave us something to which wo might cling. How, our training is drawing to a closo. Ho must decide what kind of soldiers, whether success or failures, vc will bocome in life's gigantic sr. y. Many of our boys have or wi11 step out of cur ranks into the ranks of Uncle Sam. Our preliminary instruction Tins been of tho boot; but it remains for us, alone, to make the knowledge work. -,v -SsV .. vvsVy.■ nsg Qs CLASS Or 1943 sD Art Howey Claience Kern ElwoocJ Deiberf Francis Leiby George Marshal Leonard Owens Leroy Moyer Paul Mack Paul Wagarnan Wm.

Aftor the last war, a war for lasting peace , the United States and all of her Allies immediately cut down their own armament and supposedly cut down Germany’s too. But the Gormans were still feeling the punch that had been delivered to them by the Treaty of Versailles. They were determined to bide their time and strike again and take back the land that they had lost as a result of the war. All the time while Hitler was struggling into power, he was secretly arming and training his followers for the war he was soon to create. All that time ho was getting a head start on the other countries, not only in military armament but in physical prowess too. Then the time came and he struck, catching his victims flatfootcd. In a short time he had conquered all the smaller countries in Europe and was pounding on England's door. But at that point the resistance held; and while Hitler's legions tried to invade England, Americans sat bad: and watched. Vfe in- tended to remain neutral and not be drawn into this war as we had been in the last. Yet while Americans watched the front door for trouble, it came in the back way. By this we refer to Hitler's two crowning mistakes, his attack on Russia while still occupied by England;and Japan's attack on the United States. How that we were really in the war.Americans finally saw the need for armament and physical fitness and began to do something about it. War plants are going full blast and physical fitness is a household word. Since Pearl Harbor,many high schools and colleges have changed their physical education courses into veiritable murder clinics . They now teach courses in Ju Jitsu and commando tactics which can be used with deadly intent in close combat fighting. These gym classes arc being used as toughening up classes to get the boys ready for the arny and navy. The different things taught in these classes are ilsafuli- In the armed forces they simply carry on from where they left off in high school or college. Of course the learning of these various means of fighting becomes a deadly business instead of fun. This type of fighting is dirty to the average American soldier, but wc are fighting an enemy that is ruthless-----an enemy that recognized no rules and an enemy that must be dealt with accordingly This is when a soldier's former athletic training comes in handy. Ho must be in perfect physical condition to take care of anything or anyone that cones his way. Thus physical fitness and the armed forces go hand in hand, for only such men are accepted. The cooperation by the students in different schools all over the country has been very good. Before the introduction of theso various courses, gym classes were not as well attended as they are now. The interest in these classes has heightened, and now the students willingly take gym and unknowingly become healthier at the same time. Americans,always healthy people, are nov.' probably in the best physical condition they have ever been and in as good health as any other group of people in the world today. A war, no matter how small or how large it may be, is not won with planes and guns and tanks alone. It is won by the men behind the guns and by the men who fly the planes and drive the tanks. These men must be physically perfect in order to do their work right. Physical fitness is the answer to the winning of a war, and the answer to physical fitness is athletics.

Our team topped all of its previous records in this, our eighth year of intcrscholastic competition. Under excellent coaching the team came through with five wins,two losses, and one tie. In our first game against Lehighton on our own field wo rolled up a scoro of 36 to 0. That gave the team confidence; and in tho next game against Emmaus on their fiold, wo won e 13 to 0 game. Tho following game was with Northampton, rated the strongest toam in tho league. It had rained hard before tho game and tho field was a sea of nud, but our boys hold the Koncroto Kids to a 0-0 tie. After this tight game our toam came back strong by defeating Catty 33 to 0. But our boys wore riding a bit too high, and Whitehall sot us back 'fit}; an 18 to 14 score. This did not bring down tho team's spirit, however, and they camo back to boat Stroudsburg 12 to 0. Then, against a heavy Bangor tcari, the boys turned on the heat and roallv wont to tovm with a 39 to 0 score. Then cane tho thanksgiving game with our traditional rival, Pnlmorton.on our fiold. Our boys took a quick lead when Chun Meagher bootod a fiold goal. Pnlnerton threatened several times; but our boys held them until tho last period whon the Blue Bombers pushed across a scoro to take the game 6 to 3. All in all, it was a very good season in which our toam gathered in 150 points while giving thoir opponents only 24.

They decided that,because of the lack of transportation facilities, league competition would be discontinued. All games were to be independent games within reach of tie available transportation facilities. Some teams in our league discontinued basketball entirely. The team, coached by Kr. ’Jilliams, dribbled through a good season this year. Led by Captain Roy”Schliocher and aided by Art. Fowey's scoring ability, the team outscored the opoononts by a close 499-4RR margin. They started out with a Coach---------- Manager-------- victory over Cooporsburg (30-10), then downed Easton (36-29). Victories over the Alumni and a scrappy Indiuntown Gap team followed. The team defeated Uncle Sam’s team a second time,but by a greater margin. Catty was defeated twice in two very thrilling games (37-35 21-20). SHS suffered defeat twice fromtherival team Palmerton. They were defeated by EmmauS away, but turned the tables by defeating thorn on the home floor. They were also defeated by 7 hitchnll in two games. The last game of the season was a benefit game with a selected Alumni team Intramural teams supplied the preliminary entertainment at all the home games, for J.V. basketball was discontinued tliis season. ----! .

Their potentialities seems very promising; Slatington may have winning teams in the future. Many of these cagers have already shown excellent ability on the court. Creditable showings have been given by members of both sophomore and freshman classes in several of the varsity contests. The teams in this program were named for various army camps scattered throughout the United States. All captains of these teams were sophomores. In place of the previous J.V. ball-games, interclass games were played as the preliminary entertainnent.

All games played, however, will be softball, not regulation baseball. This plan will aid the physical fitness program, for the war effort, stimulate baseball interest among lower classmen as future baseball prospects. Director-------------- and keep tire beloved sport alive in our community. Many communities, complying to the request of our government, have followed similar plans to encourage physical fitness. Physical fitness is important in that it will prepare boys to be attributes to the armed forces of the United States or to prepare them for other needed services for victory. It seems evident that this intramurals program will be a success for many of the students are emphatically behind the proposed plan. ----hr.

Harry Serfass CLU r, D The Lehigh Valley Debate Association opened its season with a debate tournament held at Catasauqua on March 5th. The question for discussion was Resolved: That cooperation as based on. the Rochdale. Plan is the most economic method of solving our present day conditions. Weekly meetings were held with the president in charge. Various discussions were made. Because of the present-war conditions, it was impossible -to, hold more than two tournaments throughout the season. The first one was held at Cotesauqua; and the second, at South Whitehall. The following schools were represented at both tournaments: alm- erton. South Whitehall, Outrun uqn , Whitehall, Hesquehoning, Hellertovri, Bethlehem, and Slatington. Slatington was represented by two affirmative arid by two 'negative teams. Each team was composed of four members. The first speech lasted six minutes; and the second speech, eight, .minutes. Four minutes were taken for cross-examining and six minutes for rebuttal. O' The question seemed to hold the attention of every nenber participating. They worked very hard for many weeks discussing various parts of it, so that each one might understand and might be-able to break down any main point which the opposing team was likely to introduce.

There are twenty-three members enrolled in this course, eager to serve and reach their goal. There has been a change of sur rvi-sors in this department as Hr. hind slow, the former supervisor, has occupied a position in Maryland thus forming a vacancy which was inmedia to I?' occupied by Mr. Harry Scrfass. Hr. Serfass, being a new advisor, has don., an excellent jobof handling the department. The F. F. a. has pla”ed an important part in the Upper Lehigh Valley Corarunity Fair, which received its charter only last year at the annual F. F. A. banquet. The fair was quit- a success because of the Cooperation of a variety of granges and clubs as well as ths community itself. The boys also took part as a group ii building a grain ;lev tor which was displayed at the Allentown Fair where it earned an award of which the chanter is very oroud. Individual displays were exhibited by members of tie chapter. These were also successful in receiving two first awards as well as a few first awards received by the bovs in the judging contests. The Victory soybean project started bv our former supervisor has been succoss-fully concluded. The chanter with ths aid of hired machinery he 3 harvested the soybeans and stored them in the high school building. This project, plus additional projects carried by eac1 member, is an all out effort in vanning the war. Their aim is not onl’r to reach last year's goal but to supply as much food as is possible to be oroduccd with available labor and equiotment.
