Yes, wishing we could hear those bells and amble through those halls Relive again a chapter of our life that this recalls, The art of growing up and learning how to dance and act, The things that we as freshmen had so obviously lacked. It's ch so easy now to say, That wasn't I, I'm sure, Because your hair is straight and 'cause your eyesl have no allure. How well I see Ruth Laird and Kay with ribbons on each side And Ginny Drace with pigtails when she was a trifle wide. Roy Fulmer had his height in store and Rex his bristling beard, No signs of adolescence or of manlihood appeared. We were an average class we thought, quite so in many ways But fate witheld her knowledge which this story now portrays. Ninth grade was just a melting pot, a get together time To let the folks from Barren Hill meet those of Erdenheim. A few boy sprouts went out for sports, a few girls tried it too But freshmen haven't got a chance 'gainst all the Senior crew. Then Sophomores-one step up-our talents gradually displayed, It seemed like only seconds since, Aunt Polly, Ellen played. A rumbling roaring during classes interrupted thought As anxious faces rushed to windows, satisfied then caught. The walls of Springfield crumbled and a masterpiece of art Unfolded like a castle when the mists began to part. We watched each brick mosaiced and we saw the whole thing done. It was as if we'd launched the gym, the class of forty-one. The gym exhibit dedication found us on the floor Showing there Strength for thy task as written on the door. Again we beat them to it as the Junior prom arrived, Our boys and girls were its first hosts as everybody jived. Returning to the fall, when we found Junior tagged to us, A great surprise awaited which aroused our spirits thus, A band, we cried, a band we'll have, at last we've found a way, A new man too to shape it up, a Mr. Giersch they say. A district sign was on each door, a meeting held inside, A canvassing was under way, a cyclone township wide. Cooperation was the word describing this reply, An instrumented band was what resulted from the fry. Then basketball descended with its need for faultless Five 31 So Swan and Ham and Wilmot proved that they were quite alive. A leap year dance found Ick and Morley strutting in the mood, Marie and John seen everywhere, a spring like attitude. A summer passed, September came, a difference from us sprung. The girls were not so silly nor the boys so Very young. We had grown up, matured a bit, begun our Senior year, A rugged class, outstanding in most everything it'd steer. The pigskin started flying up and down the football field As Rex and Gally set their jaws, to no one will we yield. From there you know the story-how Joe Swan stacked up the score, How the band and student body were supporting with a roar, Defeat of Ambler's Trojans-then the bonfire and parade, The golden football trophy now in memory displayed, The victory dance that followed with blonde Patty Talman, Queen, Plus Keyser's faithful posters, then our Christmas caroling. Too, Jakey's stickwork dazzled and Pauline's good eye amazed, But most of all that Hamilton boy had everybody dazed. The Friday night hair raisers with the dances afterwards, The gatherings at Port's for cokes and toasted hot hamburgs. Another year came strutting by which we all saw come in And then somebody thought evaluation should begin. The school and grounds were looked at, all the desks and students, We felt at its completion, like the monkeysl in the zoo. The days shot whizzing by' and soon the month of March appeared And brought June Mad upon the stage which everybody cheered. No one will e'er forget John Fitz' as true cosmopolite Nor Sally's bratty tactlessness, nor Penny's urge to write. The gym exhibit next in line stepped forward true to form When Betty Walsh and! Lab once more did mightily perform. The prom rolled in, we congoed to a rhythmic Latin air, We spent a weekend looking at the White House and its lair. Quite serious we all are now in tying up loose ends, In Finishing our work on which our cap and gown depends, In getting ready honor talks and classnight lunacies, Just realizing high school figures now in memories. Then thinking how the Council worked with us for what was right How John Maus and Ick Kahoe instigated student might. How our whole crowd of seventy-two has made a splendid class Which ought to be remembered. Why? You shouldn't have to ask, A lot of things have happened to the world since we came here. The other side got in a fight and peace seems nowhere nearg America has shown her hand, her men, compelled to train. Defense is running everything with F. D. R.'s third brain. Tradition has been broken, Wendell Wilkie's on the run, 32 too Phil Groggins won his Roosevelt bets, returned to Washington. Tradition broke again as Springfield got up off the floor And grabbed herself a championship-'twas never done before. Yes, looking back through four short years as only Seniors can We find that we are wishing it an everlasting span. But when it's said that nothing new there is beneath the sun, These people seem to have forgot the class of forty-one. 2-5 In Memoriam DORIS LEAPSON The members of the Senior Class wish to pay loving tribute to our classmate who left us in her Junior year. 33 I W as I , ,trim strait' fzzmnig ' L M 9 Yfx . ,V I X X MJ QNX mx EQ?

The final blackout of Jenkintown left us co-champions of the league, Springfield and Ambler each having lost one game during the season. It is certain that such success could not have been ours without the fine working spirit displayed by co- captains Albert Gally and Gilbert R . ex, as well as the assistance ren- dered by the team manager, Wm. Leary. The credit for such a careful se- legtion of players and for untiring e orts which have molded such a team goes to 'Coaches Warren Gockley and H ' orace Broslus.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, a governmental body composed of representa- tives from each of the seventeen homerooms, has undergone several drastic changes during 1941. One of these changes provides for two meetings each week, instead of the usual one. The regular meetings are held on Monday, the seventh period, in the library, and when necessary on Tuesday, during the same period, in the cafeteria. Another important step taken was an entire reorganization of the Marshall System. Special efforts have been made to carry out the rules and regulations concerning traffic in the halls and deportment in the cafeteria in a more thorough way than ever before. The results have been extremely successful. John Maus was president of the Council for the 'first semester and Richard Kahoe, for the second semester. Both are members of the Senior Class and are to be highly commended on the fine leadership they displayed. J. Maus, R. Keyser, V. Drace, Mr. Phillips, R. Kahoe, R. Fulmer. E. Drace. J.

THE CHRONICLE It seems that 1940-41 was a year of a great many important changes in every phase of our school life. One of the most outstanding of these changes was the reorganization of the Chronicle Staff. An editor for every page, individual responsibility for onels assign- ments, a realization that there was no one to lean upon but one's self, the necessity of each one's sharing in the typing, whether by the one-finger technique or otherwise-these were a few of the most noticable char- acteristics of the new system that confronted every member of the staff. A second place award was claimed when The Chronicle competed with other school papers in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held at New York. First Row: V. Drace. H. Eustace, P. Close.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAY The Senior High School play, June Mad, a comedy in four acts de- picting the trials and tribulations of a fifteen year old girl in the pro- cess of growing up, was presented on March 13, 14, and 15. Mrs. Wood, the mother of the cast, experiences what every mother in actual life experiences in trying to understand her daughter Penny's sudden caprices. When the irresistible Roger comes on the scene, Penny falls rapturously in love and temporarily forgets her childhood playmate, Chuck Harris. Meanwhile big brother Mervyn goes through agonizing misery trying to rid himself of the thirteen-year old neighbor- hood pest, Milly Lou, who certainly is bewitched by his manly charm. In an attempt to escape from Penny, who has drawn matrimonial conclusions from his attentionsi to her, Roger takes a turn at fascinating Mervyn's real love of my heart, Julie Harris. For a while it seems inevitable that the conflict will result in broken hearts, but when both Julie and Penny finally are convinced of Roger's fickle nature and, when Penny finds a real concern for Chuck's welfare in her heart and vice versa, everything turns out for the best. Even Chuck's airplane building ambitions, once hopelessly shattered by his father, receive a new impetus when Mr. Harris realizes that Chuck will find happiness and satisfaction in no other career' The successful three night performance of JUNE MAD was, without a doubt, one of the most prominent highlights of our Senior year characterized by a well selected cast, excellent scenery and un- surpassable coaching by Mrs. Mabel Tule. 51 CLUBS Gift 'hotoqraphy Typing Dramatic CLUBS Chemistry Lib 1' cr 1' y Discussion Dcmcinq CLASS WILL We, the class of 1941, being sound in both mind and body, do hereby bequeath the following of our most valuable possessions to members of the Class of 1942 who, we believe, will use them to their best advantage: Ruth O'Sulli'van,s come-backs to Flora Fuchsluger Roland Kneller's curly hair to Marian Hershey Bill Leary's jokes to Jimmie Dull Dorothy Normileis eyelashes to Vivian Garber James Hamiltonis good looks to Patty Talrnan Elaine Manlcin's impersonations to Elaine Smith John Fitzgerald's technique,' to Pierce Myers Joe Swan's alibis to John McGilloway Rosemary Keyser's originality to Bill Friclce Dorothy Davis's loquaciofusness to June Cooper Dorothy Ludwig's spontaneous laugh to Jayne Gregory Calvin Naylor's boxing ability to Clayton McAdoo Patty Close's personality to Edna Richardson Robert Wilmot's freckles to Spencer Mason Kay Rich's popularity to Marcia Browne Sally Steele's vocabulary to Raymond Midgett Roy Fulrner's bashfulness to Charles Barby Jack Nusbickel's drowsiness! to Norwood Holstein Eliza-beth Young's blush to Ken Fry Gilbert Rexis Ford to anyone who will take it!
