WU em a tic A MATHEMATICS 12 This shows how they compare,” is a familiar expression used by the seniors studying various problems of the consumer. The graph used here by Jerre Gehris is just one example of various ways in which this class has learned to interpret statistical data and problems of everyday life. GEOMETRY 11 “There is the bridge across the Tulpehocken Creek,” says David Sweigart as he proudly dis- plays his scaled drawing of the school path along the road to school. This one and one made by Marvin Kulp had been turned over to the Penn- Bernville School Board to be used in a discussion at a regular meeting. ALGEBRA 9 What is the formula?” asks Mr. Sell as Warren Ebersole is showing members of the Algebra 9 class how to find the volume of a sphere. The algebra class constructed solid geometric figures out of construction paper. Each pupil had to apply the formula learned from the geo- metric figure to abstract problems. To most students the construction work is a popular assignment. MATHEMATICS 8 “Hold it a minute,” says Barry Speicher. Let me explain that easy problem.” With prob- lems like this one, pupils should have no difficul- ties when they face the responsibility of managing their own homes. Perhaps Barry some day will be able to figure out his own income tax too. What a help that will be! But by that time there may be no such tax as that. Twenty-one

oCancfua GERMAN 11 Here you find five of the German class finish- ing a miniature pail project. After having paint- ed the pails with flat black paint, they painted Pennsylvania-Dutch designs on them and bronzed the brims and handles. With vines in the pails, the environment of the library has been greatly enhanced. LATIN 9 Seven of the Ninth grade girls are eagerly engaged in one of the class activities. It may be the declension of a noun or the conjugation of a verb; or perhaps they are translating a mytho- logical story. In any case the girls seem to be busy as Mrs. Kline looks on. ENGLISH 10 Mae Degler and Nancy Phillips are reading their Voice of Democracy essays to their class. They were the chosen representatives from Grade 10 in the in-school eliminations. A bit more practice in this creative writing, and perhaps Mae or Nancy will be able to represent Penn-Bernville in the County contest at the WRAW studios. Of the ten contestants Marvin Kulp of Grade 11 was the winner. ENGLISH 8 Herman Degler, Shelve Benzel, Miss Riegel, Miriam Boltz, Betty Burkhart, and other class members look on as Mary Lou Hoffert explains the poem, “The Good Samaritan”, by the use of a visual aid. Such an aid should facilitate memori- zation and retention of this English requirement. Maybe this accounts for junior high school mem- ory efficiency. Twenty

Plyi icat ttclue at ion GYM 11-12 As Mr. Matthew illustrates on the floor with chalk, you see a few girls attentive to learn the correct technique of playing basketball. The hope of the girls is to organize an all-girl basketball team in the near future. GYM 11-12 Leo Houck is getting ready to receive the football while Henry Bohn is about to blow the referee’s whistle. Football is one of the boys’ favorite sports. When the weather permits, the boys who are sports-minded lose no minute of the lunch period. Out they go to play this game. GYM 7-8 “Line up and count off by four!” This class is in position to do the trunk-bending exercise. The boys do a number of exercises similar to this one. To close the gymnastics of the period, the lads usually do one lap around the track. Stay in good physical condition, boys! We’ll need you in sports shortly. HEALTH 9-10 Someone short of breath? Well, not for a long time. Frederick Wilhelm is showing a group how to give artificial respiration. The boys have studied also other forms of First Aid; such as, symptoms of injuries, transportation of an in- jured person, and bandaging. Knowledge of First Aid is, according to statistics, a help in the pre- vention of accidents. Twenty-two
