The president elected was James Gior- danog vice president, Jack Ludwickg secretary Barry Logang and treasurer, Ambrose Peterman. A skating party in Pottstown was the only social event of the freshman year. Our sophomore year began with the election of officers at which time some changes were made. Alfred Shantz was elected presidentg Raymond Davis, vice presidentg Betty Taschner, secretary, and Jack Ludwick, treasurer.

The junior class spon- sored the Thanksgiving dance for the senior high school November 30. It really seemed more like a replaying of the traditional Royersford-Spring City football game. Funny how that 6-0 score seemed the important issue rather than treading the light fantastic. On December 20-21 the junior class presented the play, A Date With Judy, un- der the direction of Mr. William Ewing. The play proved to be a success.

This great season was climaxed by a decisive, hard fought victory over Royersford which previously won fifteen straight games. West Pottsgrove was the first to fall to the Pirate's long line of victories by the score of 40-13. The leading scorers for Spring City were Doc Thcrum and Dick Fred- erick, who each made two touchdowns, while Ug McKissic and High crossed the goal once. Rounding out the score with extra points were John Nebcrak and John Kurtas, who both split the uprights twice. Schwenkville was next to fall to the Blue and White by the score of 55-0. Diminu- tive Carl DeWalt tore off consistent long runs and raced to three touchdowns to pave the way for victory. Frederick and McKissic took passes from Neborak and Barclay to score their six points. While High, Thorum, Barclay, and Hakun also fought their way across the final stripe and McKissic kicked the only extra point. The following Saturday a strong Upper Merion team was defeated by the Pirates 25-0 at Spring City's Home Coming Celebration. Frederick set the pace by taking a pass from DeWalt for his first T. D. and later carried a kick, blocked by Isett and Kurtas, across the goal. Carl High plunged from the one-yard line for the third score, while Barclay tallied the final six points on an intercepted pass. Big Kurtas kicked the point to round out the scoring.

The results of their efforts were some spirited pep rallies which may have pro- vided that extra push to bring us undefeated teams in hockey and football. When the fans came inside for Basketball, the cheerlead- ers were right there cheering the team to a successful season. Letis have A Long Ray for the girls in blue and white. May their enthusiasm bring Spring City High many successful teams.
