SO WHITER ALMA MATER South Whitehall High School Alma Mater! Alma Mater! Noble shrine of Truth and Light; We praise Thee ever to the skies Where wisdom rules the heavens bright. Portals wide are ever opened To our Youth that, ne’er denied, Acclaims Thee with exulting voice, So joyful with Thee to abide. Praises linger on our lips As we depart Thy cherished halls, No more to view the happy throngs Of loved ones still within Thy walls. Ne’er forgetting, ne’er regretting Precious days so quickly flown, Oh! Alma Mater, hear our song, Our hymn of praise for Thee aolne. Effie Minnich ’30 10 I'

SO WHITER 1 9 3 6 The class of ’36 deems fit to bestow their honor upon Mr. Genszler, the class adviser and faculty adviser of the Sowhiter. Mr Genszler is a graduate of Muhl- enberg College and received the deg- ree of Master of Arts at Lehigh Univ. Mr. Genszler is the second oldest teacher in service at South Whitehall, and the pupils find history interesting as taught in his classes. We are proud to have claimed him as our class adviser for two years. We realize, our junior and senior years would not have been so successful had it not been for his guidance. The class has much to appreciate him for. Many of our accomplishments would have been failures if it had not been for Mr. Genszler’s interest in us, his knowled ge of pupils, his kind understanding, and earnest desire to see us succeed. All these, and many more, were our contributing factors pushing us on- ward to our successful goal. The class of ’36 wishes him many more successful years of teaching, and the seniors, in years to come, will look back to his guidance as their adviser. Miss Brown, our beloved faculty, adviser, has done much for our suc- cess at South Whitehall in everything we undertook. If help was ever need- ed, it was Miss Brown to whom we turned, and we wish to take this op- portunity afforded us to thank her. She graduated from Wilson College and took Graduate courses at Harvard, Lehigh, and Muhlenberg. She came to us in our junior year from Bloomsburg High School. Their loss was our gain. Miss Brown taught French, German, and Latin to our all too attentive student body, and she kept saying “Ich liebe dich” in German class, “Ego amo te” in Latin classes and “Je vous aime” in French classes. Do you wonder why she decided to drop French before she became tongue-tied? It was Miss Brown’s even slices that featured at the bake sales and her delicious fudge simply melted in your mouth. Remember? In this, our last message, we will repeat our thanks for all those little services so willingly rendered and which quickly added up to many larg- er ones. The class wishes you success in all your future enterprises.
