c pSfWWM HIGH SCrJOOi CLASSS; r III ATHLS' cj TIC? iv activities n REFLECTIONS Vie, of the Reflection Staff, wish to extend our appreciation to each and every one of the student tody afid faculty for their fine cooperation in the production of our yearbook. In this world of war, vie wish to state the fact that we on the homefront have tried to assist in every way possible, to promote victory. Many of us are now-serving in the armed forces and others are fighting on the homefront to bring our boys back to us safely and as soon as possible. At this time we find no greater opportunity than this, to express our deep felt appreciation to Mr. Earl Hartman, our Principal, to whom v e dedicate this book, for his assistance in furthering our education. V e also wish to thank the Board of Education for their consideration and co-operati on throughout our four years of high school. V e want to thank vhole heartedly our supervisors, Mr. E. A. Evans and Mrs. Zimmerman, for their manifesting patience in our behalf, in the development of the book. Wc must not forget to make mention of thanks due to William Ncwhurd and Reynold Minnich, two Seniors, for their fine wart: in Photography. As you glance through our Reflections v.-e wish that you would consider the part the class of '44- have played in the pro duction of our book. Yft hope this book will act as an incentive to future Seniors and lovrer classmen. •| Yeti e Harold Fensitejrmacher Earl Lciby Veronica Papay Thelma Confer Althea Roth Roma Snyder Editorial Staff Daney—Editor-in-chief Betti-1 cju Buubert Carl Reitz Calvin Kern Mary Lee Davies Bill Griffiths Dorothy Herman Margaret Ernest •Bctjt Ja-ne Jones. • Henry Alcouloumre Norene Frederick Renee Orkin Lucy Altrichter Ray Deppe Make-up Staff Kathleen Fink—Editor Dena Yenser—Ass't Editor Lorraine Benner Ruth Green Elaine Harvd Lorraine Hughes Marian Kerschner Rough Copy Make-up Typists Marie Kern Ruth Kreibel Ruth Tielmann Marjorie Kuhnsman Betty Kunklo Betty Miller Leola Roth Leah Schncck Mario Snyder Margaret Zigo Art Staff Ruth Tielmann-Editor Clarence Minnich Robert Vlas sum Chester Gable Donald Oplinger Leonard Bcttilou Daubert Carolyn Kern Richard Hughes Russel Marlatt Vfeinman .

Hartman, who is in part responsible for our successful crossing of the bay of life. After graduating from Slatington High School and thence from Bucknell College in 1927, Mr. Hartman took graduate work at Lehigh University and received his Master's Degree in U.S. History in 1937 At college Mr. Hartman belonged to several organizations, some of which were Kappa Sigma, Friars, and Mu Phi Epsilon, Leadership, honesty, faithfulness, and never ending understanding of student life----these are the attributes of our Principal and it is for these reasons that he is the recipient of our decision. This dedication is made to assure Mr. Hartman that we are thankful for his leadership and that we are certain his direction will propell us most successfully across the vast ocean of life. To you, Mr. Hartman, we extend our sincerest wish for your success in the ensuing years. THE SLATINGTON £ OA R D Or EDUCATION Mrs. Vf. Via 1 lace Kern--President Franklin D.

And Baptized in Liberty, The smallest class in many a year. And perhaps in many more; Full of knowledge and free from foar. This—the Class of Forty-Four— Proud of its boys who have loft its ranks And ha.vo gone to somo foreign field To fight at the side of other Yanks In guarding the American Shield. Girded against all evil hands And ready to stand any tost. This class will give wh t the future demands And will give the world its host. This is the class that prepares to leave. That will enter a war-weary world; The class of h'orty-Four will achievo Its goal with its banners unfurled. --William P. Griffith H.ALCOULOUMRE L.ALTRICHTER T.

If you did, you probably know what it was by this tine, but just in case sone of you don’t know just what was .joing ojj I’d better tell you. Approximately 110 voungstors cane bouncing into the different Sohponore hone roons at this tine. Naturally, I an referring to the present senior class. As we filed into our classroons the teachers would look up, sigh, and turn their thoughts back to their work. During our sophonore tern we had one new and well-liked instructor, Mr. Cla rton Clifford, who is now in the arned forces After having a vacation for three months, we once more returned to our classroons. As we were now juniors, we were allowed to have classroons on the second floor, and don’t think that we didn't look up at those seniors with envy in our eyes—wishing that we wore in their position. Of course, we were now juniors, and we thought ourselves nuch higher up than the sophomores. Since we were considered adolescents by this tine, we had the privilege of presenting the delightful comedy Saved by the Belle, which was under the supervision of iss ’’organ. Our Junior Declamation Contest was held on Anril 28th- with Dorothy Irraj coming out on top, and Ruth Ticlnann fti-lowing in her footsteps by capturing second prize. Dorothy renresonted Slat-ington at the County Declamation ContfsV which was held in Catasauqua. Henry Al-c-'ulounre won first prize for the boys, while Carl Reitz was given second honor. For our class officers wo elected Reynold I'innich as President; Ruth Tiel-mann. Vice President; Carolyn Kern, Secretary; and Calvin Kern, Treasurer. Scarlet and gray wore found to b-e our favorite colors. Our class rings, which could be either onyx and gold or all gold, were ordered by us in March. On May the 2Gth we had our Junior Banquet and Prom. We were entertained at our banquet by our follow students and at the Prom by Harry Ronig's orchestra. Having gone through all this, and having obtained nuch knowledge, wo now were becoming old and at last wo had obtained our goal. ’Ye were now Seniors. Oh, the envied looks we received. But we didn't mind these-----we were seniors at last. ’To want to thank the teachers for their splendid work and guidance. Our '.-ducation is something that I an sure we shall never forget and neither shall we over bo able to repay you for tho help you have given us. On December 15th wo had our Senior Play entitled Lot Ns Bo Glamorous . This play was under tho direction of firs. Zimmerman. Mo think it was a groat suc-coss. Through tradition, the juniors have again invited the Seniors to their Junior Pron. VTe are sure that wo shall hnvo a wonderful time, but wo think, as who doesn't, that our Junior Pron was the best. You Juniors will probably have that sane feeling yourselves next term. Wait and see! As the old saying goes, All’s well that ends well, and so our school days are now dr.wing to a close—nuch to our regret. 'any of our boys have already been called into the armed forces, and the rest are awaiting their call. be extend to all of them a happy hcme-coming. The girls have many opportunities awaiting them upon graduation; they shall probably be able to achieve the goal thy desire without too much difficulty. Dent forget that it’s up to you to make a success of the knowledge given you. .

Both the civilian defense worker and the soldier need to be in perfect condition to carry through with the great task a-head. Of the many requirements of the armed Forces, mental and physical requirements are the most rigid and the present has the government sc emphatically stressed physical educ:tion. Schools over the entire nation have been given, or are being given, orders as to the courses which shall be taught to their students. Physical education classes now practice military and other toughening up exercises. Other sub- jects, such as aeronautics and Rsdio Code, h ve been introduced into the schools revised curriculum. Because of the new militaristic ideas, the willingness of many has increased in their gym work. In this way more receive the training they need and yet are not backward about it. More students take interest in the military classes than do in the general run of school work and gym classes. This knowledge and cooperation are all helps in the development of a great team. In this way, school work, athletics,-and physical education all aid to develop strong and healthy bodies and clean minds. These in turn will develop a powerful, but free nation.

The year 1943 went into the past, and with it went the memories of the string of defeats that stood attached to the record of Slatington High School. But 1943 wasn't meant to have offered a successful season, but it did offer a future successful season, for a newcomer entered our ranks as head football coach and trained the green squad he had. Coach Louis DeRosa was all set except for the fact that the bellows needed experience. Well, they have their experience; and they're all ready to make 1944 a great successful season. Good Luck, Coach! Our first game was with Lehighton, and with our desperate attempt to come on top, they took the honors with a score of 35-0. Emmaus was next on the schedule, but again the Blue Raiders bowed their heads to the winning team. The score was 24-0. Head Coach—Louis DeRosa Asst.—Lloyd Williams Our worse defeat followed up when Northampton swamped our squad to the tune of 62.-0 . Again the local eleven met defeat when Catasauqua marched over the team to victory. Joe Buzinski's determination to score brou it him the honors of make-ing the first touchdown of the season. The score rolled up to 53-6. Whitehall marched onto a wet field and off with a decisive victory to their name 13-0. The Blue Raiders tried desperately to bring home the bacon but a strong Stroudsburg squad only allowed us one touchdown making the score 24-6. Thanksgiving Day....Slatington was to meet its traditional rival...Palmer-ton. Just this one victory would have made the whole season successful. But as in previous years, Slatington a- ain took of-f their hats to the victors. Palmerton came through with the score of 21-0.

Still full of f ght, however, the Slate Lads came back and defeated Coonersburg 23-20. This ended the independent games of the season. In an independent home game, Slat-ington High School opened up its 1343-44 Inter-Scholastic Basketball season with a flashy 47-30 victory over the soldiers of Indiantown Gap. ampton 30-29 in a thrilling game played in Smith Hall, the Blue and White team headed into the home stretch. Slbtington lost its last tv.'o games to Emmnus and Stroudsburg, thus ending the 1943-44 Basketball Season. Entering the first half vith high spirits, our team was battered by three strong opponents , namely, Palmerton, Whitehall, and Catasauqua. All three of these teams handed us bitter defats. Not to be sent under so easily, however, -Slatington came back and defeated both Northampton and Emmnus in what proved to B6 thrillers to the onlooking fans. The first half ended with Stroudsburg handing us a 51-42 defeat. Unflinching, the Blue Raiders strode into the second half only to be subdued, once again, by Palmerton, Whitehall, and Catasauqua. Even though it was now evident that the championship was beyond our reach, the Blue Raiders v fre determined to do their best. Topping North- The Junior Varsity had a good season even though its Scholastic games were limited due to trr.nsp: rtation difficulties. Most of its games were played with outlying districts.

After each team played fts opponents at least once, the juniors wore victorious. The gomes were played to help aid in physical fitness and to help develop better cagers for our future teams in this community. An intramural softball tournament, which consisted of twelve teams, was held at Victory Park. By order of elimination the winner and champion of the league v as declared. This tournament was held in order to help keep this All-American sport alive until baseball can bo played again in this school.

During the school year Donald Frey, the Chapter Secretary, received the honor of being one of three boys from Leghih, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties to receive a Keystone Farmer's Degree. He also got a medal for placing fourth in the state potato project contest. May he keep up his fine work, and cay the students that follow him use his fine example as a goal. Due to the fact that the armed forces need most of the vital material for war, there is a shortage of farm equipment. In order to .make the machinery last as long as possible, the chapter is cooperating with the farmers of upper Lehigh County by helping to conduct a course in farm machinery. Because there is a shortage of veg-table seeds the chapter started early to supply as many vegetable seeds for victory gardeners as possible. This is vital because we need as much food as we can produce in 1944. The F.F.«. is planning to have a victory garden and a soybean project this year as well as individual projects from each member.
