MISS SALAMA STEIGERWALT Uvve shall rest, and faith, we shall neefl it --lie down for an aeon or two, Till the master of all goocl workmen shall put us to work anewf, Our yeartnoolc, ttxe story of our class, would not be complete without a tribute to Miss Steigerwalt, who helped us many times when the going was tough, and wtlo was always our friend. A day l1asn't gone by since Miss Steigerwalt left us tllat someone l'1asn't missed tier, for tler place in Tamaqua Higtl was t1er own. It is a place that no one else will be able to fill. Miss Steigerwaltys life revolved around us and around our sctlool. The two extra-curricular activities under tler supervision ranlced first in ttle state. Ot all faculty memlmers, stie had perhaps the greatest influence over ttle discipline and conduct ot the students. Because ol: tier unceasing interest in improved conditions, stme made our sctnool a better place. XVe know sl1e would not want a eulogy. The German Clubs, the Bugle Corps, the Tri-Hi-Y are her living memorials and better tribute than any of our words. So, quite simply, we say, VVe're grateful, lVtiss Steigerwalt. VVe slmnvt forget you. Fifteen

President DIICHAEL CAPPOS ecretary BEVERLY STINE Treasurer SAMUEL NIILLER OFFICERS our rhiei and his assistants. DUB IJLIMB Tll THE TIIP UF THE IAIJIIEH Gur climtm to the top ol the ladder in the Tamaqua school system has been a steady one. The first step toward the top was made when we entered Senior High School. We managed only a few rungs of the ladder during our Sophomore year because we had to hecome accustomed to new teachers and new suhjects. Some oi our talented classmates were chosen for the operetta, some of our athletic ones lor the ioothall and haslcetloall teams, and everyone had the opportunity of joining cluhs and talcing part in other extra-curricular activities. During our Junior year we advanced further toward our goal. in Septemher we had our tirst class meeting to elect oilzicers. Robert Schlosser was elected pres- ident, Michael Cappos vice-president, Beverly Stine secretary, and Samuel Nliller treasurer. After the selection of oiiicers came other class meetings at which our colors. blue and while. were chosen, and we felt. with our caps, pennants, and class rings. selected at another meeting, well on the Way toward the top. ln February Rohert Schlosser left school for the Seahees, and Nliclcey Cappos hecame acting president with the duties oi leading the class on his shoulders. Finally came the Senior year with the excitement of the football season and all the committees to he appointed. On the calendar were the yearhoolc, the Christ- mas party, the dances, the class play and the operetta, with Class Day and Com- mencement as the top of the ladder. Now loelore us lie-the world and other goals. We plan to use what we have learned in classes and in worlcing together for three years Hon the hill to help to huild the peaceful world in which we want to live. Seventeen
