These three elements are omni-present in all institutions of learn- ing no matter how hig or small. In some in- stances one of these elements may seem to he lacking hut toy close inspection it can at- Ways he found. The three units also are of equal importance for Without any one of these a school coulctrft exist in the sense of the present day. In Vvyomissing, We are tor- unate to have all these necessary factors present in a most excellent form. The plant is the foremost of these three elements and who would dispute its excellence. The sec- oncl of these elements is personnel which surpasses many. And the thirct is the activ- ities which though numerous are Wholesome and mind cultivating. Book One - The Pfam!

U H ' Libmfy As one enters the spacious school library, he would almost helieve that the story hoolc characters had hopped right out from hetween the pages of the lihrary's hoolcs and adorned themselves along the Walls,-so lifelike are the striking murals which depict colorful scenes of early Pennsylvania Dutch industry. Mr. Rohert Dunlcleherger, the artist, spent many months of research hefore even he- ginning the actual painting. Vvhile malcing this re- search, he Worlced up innumerable slcetches, which he finally Coordinated in the final paintings. With the ad- dition of these murals, a historic atmosphere prevails in the lihrary, as one hrowses among the hoolcs or studies. The scenes depicted are many and catch much of early Pennsylvania environment. One may glance at the pic- turesque scene of paper malcing, which was then a highly skilled handicraft. A little girl, garhed in the quaint dress of her times, tugs at her motherys slcirts as she gazes out upon the scene of husy industry,-typically Pennsylvania Dutch. Muralf ' One person is operating the Schnitzlehunic,-fa device used to sliver wood. Then you may turn to other views showing two types of transportation, canal and railway. There is an old locomotive at the Seventh street crossing with Trinity Church in the hacilgrounci. On the church can he seen the Christopher Wren tower. The only other one in this country is on independence Hail, Philadel- phia. Another attractive picture is that of the Cones- toga wagons being macte in the Conestoga valley. Qther famous industries which are illustrated are: the hrewery, the leather tannery, a process in hat making, riHery falso a Pennsylvania Dutch discoveryf, and pot- tery. Thus, as one leaves the iihrary he has the sense of having viewed a panorama of industrial achievement, in old Pennsylvania, at the threshhold of the machine age.

This division will he hroken down into three distinct sections which, although different in many Ways, are highly coordinated. It is this coordination of the three parts of the personnel that lends to a smooth working machine: and this ma- chine, the personnel, must carry to a success- ful end all the Wort: of the modern faculty. The first part of the personnel instructs and advises the student hodyg the Seniors,-fthe second part-fin addition to the absorption ofblcnowledge, have the further task of cor- rect Ieadershipg while the underclassesi-fthe third part-have the hasic joh of learning and growth.

A community speaics through its elective representatives. This is in ac- cordance with republican democracy. Schools being the agencies of com- munities, therefore, can progress only as fast as their citizens permit. This requires, then, that any iocaiity at- tune itself to the trends of the larger world in which its youths will live. Education, therefore, must he fash- ioned in line with society as it exists today. Nor must the best of the past he ignoredg but the acceptance of this past must he conditioned by present needs. To this understanding a com- munity must aspire. Twenty M. M. ASHMORE Admmzlfimizbn Intrusted to administration is the formulation of policies affecting school and community, teacher and pupil, and inter pupil relationships. The in- ter-action of these factors must he cor- related with the tempo of the increas- ingly complex situations in the world of today. Administration must took backward as Weil as forward. It must temper the hest of the practices of the past with the trends of the present. This requires a skillful sifting of to- dayys drives so as to eliminate that which is transient and short-lived from that which will become permanent and enduring. Today is ephemeral. A rapidly changing World is viewed through ALLEN VV. RANK Twenty-one i r J. L. APPENZELLAR the eyes of yesterday. Man alters hut slowly in his viewpoint, however fast he changes his material trappings. And here is educationys solemn task: to wit, to bring man to a Iceener un- derstanding of the world in which his life is lived. Each individual, in this inter-related social order, must he made to sense his personal respons- ihility. If education can achieve this, it will Ioeget that type of noble man who aspires to the order and law which arises from the dictates of a per- sonal intelligence synchronized to the hest interests of society.

With this class a new idea in education was introduced into the English-History courses. Research on government, labor and culture was conducted individually. Then a theme reporting on the findings was periodically written. The education each re- ceived depended thereiore on his own efforts. To he nearer hooks and references the whole class worked two consecutive periods in the iihrary. Frequently oral reports were given in the auditorium, to aid progress in puhiic speaking. On occasions, collegiate debating teams performed for this class ex- clusively, while at other times reports on the self-drive theory of learning were relayed to the class hy people who attended univer- sities employing a similar system. Students who found vaiuahie hooks, fiction and non-fiction, wrote a summary on cards which were collected in a file and made avaiiahie to the others.

Some neglected the opportunities their teachers, librarians and classmates offered: others assiduousty tracked down a hit of information to its hid- den source and exploited what they had. The theory has had its trial: only those who tried it, however, can judge its worth. Early in the term officers were elected to guide the class in school activities. They were chosen as follows: the president, Cart Kern: vice president, Richard Ginn: secretary, Shirley Gautcerg the treasurer, Hans Sagemuht. The class contributed heavily to the school play, the debating team and the oratorical contest.

A comparison during the period from 1923 to 1941 hy grades one to six and hy grades seven to twelve shows that the laullc of this increase was in the latter group of grades. As a matter of fact, the elementary population during this period decreased lay 48 pupils. Qur community has parallel tendencies to those of the rest of the nation. The elementary school population throughout the nation shows delzinite decline. A diminishing rate of hirth necessarily sends fewer children into the entering grades, therefore effecting a continuously reducing school population. in the past few years, the large classes, formerly in grades one to six, have heen passing to the Junior-Senior high school. This has placed the crest of the wave ol enrollment in that section of the school system for the first time in school history. This is a nation-wide trend. in 1938 the latter six grades of the American school system predominated for the first time over the first six grades in size. Since this is a high school pulolication, we include enrollment statistics for the school year 1940-1941 for the Junior-Senior high school. The grade sizes are as follows: seventh grade, 60 pupilsg eighth grade, 70 pupils: ninth grade, 70 pupils: tenth grade, 70 pupilsg eleventh grade, 65 pupilsg and twelfth grade, 45 pupils.

Studia' t 'lisa Citizenship Visual Education The Social Studies Department offered a compiete and compact course in cuiturai, sociai, and practicai history. in the Junior High School, elementary American History was studied. This includes many interest- ing field projects including map and modei making. in Ninth Grade, students studied Civics-citizenship, manners, traffic iaws, and forms of government. Tenth Graders studied oid world under the titie of Ancient History. Juniors learned of U. S. History in a comioined English-His tory Class, and Seniors deived into Proioiems of Democracy in which the students have iiyeiy and animated group discussions.

Speciticaiiy, the teach- ers of the English department taught the art of speaking and writing, and duly emphasized thoughtful and ap- preciative reading which resulted in X much home reading activity. More than four thousand hooks i.e. hooks for home reading were read hy the English students in the junior and senior high school during the year. A worthy experiment in the eieventh grade English classes was worked out with the Social Studies department. As these subjects are closely related in the development of America, a course, combining American history and American literature was developed under the direction of Mr. Morris and Mr. Rank. Reactions of the students and teachers to this new course of study were greatly varied. Core Curriculum Broadcast Sixty-nine THE EIJLIJPHUN IIF 19111 :Y W Z Q CQ an 41 wg 5 if?

Beginning with the first grade and continuing through the elemen- tary grades, a series of study guidance units were prepared this year thus giving students a hetter background for Working out lesson assignments. Also, courses in study guidance were continued this year in the seventh grade with special emphasis upon the tech- niques and skills necessary for the work of the pupils throughout high school and college. Rather than limit this instruction to the phases commonly known as Library Instruction the policy has been to train pupils in all methods and devices which would make their lesson preparation more efficient. In the eleventh grade the core curriculum provided opportunity for the librarian to see whether these skills had heen mastered. Assistants Library Seventy-one p nn - ' .X a 'mi , .

Ever since 1929, membership in this honorary organization has been the highest honor attain- able in our school. The cardinal qualities of students cieserving this recognition are charac- ter, scholarship, leadership, and service. The membership of the society is limited to fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class. The responsihiiity for the eiec- tion of all members rests entirely upon the mem- hers of the faculty who make their choices each ' spring. The four seniors who were awarded membership last year were Elizabeth Fisher, Henry Trostie, Vviiiiam Busch, and Jack Schanz. The new senior memhers were Martha Reid, George Dudley, Robert Hiiiegas, and Kenneth Thompson. Katharine Meyer, Eugene Sowers, and Margot Waihrecker, were the new The Seal representatives of the junior class.

Each home room elects its representative to time Cooperative. Half of the members are elected at time begin- ning of time year, and half at the mid-year.

Perhaps, Miss Henry was the iniiuence of the giris, sud- den culinary aptitudes, for she became the ciuhys new advisor this year. If you shouid happen to catch a glimpse of a Tri-HL Y giri hanging from the gym ceiiing some Thursday after- noon taice it for granted the girls are having a game party, which usuaiiy ends up with sticky huns and coca-coias. But the Tri-Hi-Y girls can he serious too, and they arenvt aiways eating. Doreen Marshall held the girls enthraiied with an exciting account of her trip from England to the United States, and it was learned from Pauline Buirsici, who hails from South Africa, that South Afri- can peopie are quite normai individuals. Pie beds, after midnight visitors, Johnny Bertoietis monkey act from the rafters, and other peculiar activities maize the Tri-Hi-Y camping trip one of the most attrac- Top, Quiz Contest tive events on the calendar.

The usuai summer attire made its appearance at Bynden Wood and the gay colors added to the spirit of merry-making. To cooi the terpsichoreans who ioecame over- heated there were the traditional punch and pretzeis. Vvhen midnight reared its ugiy head, it found a some- what footsore hut happy group en- tireiy unwiiiing to stop dancing. But the Prom, like ali good things, had to end. The fourteenth annual inter-Ciuh was presented as tradition dictated, in the school gym. Jean Mowrey and Gene Vvinne held sway as co-chairman, and the various committees under their direc- tion hent aii energies toward producing a successful dance. Furniture, lighting, and a pavilion were the prohiems met and dismissed with due dispatch. The night of the dance was piaced at the disposai of Bud Rader and his orchestra of Alien- town. Previous wori: and trouhie, coupled with a weii-known and weii-iiiced hand, produced a dance that wiii make Novem- ber 25 a iong rememioered date, and it was said that the fourteenth inter-Ciuh was a true continuation of the first thir- teen.

Tickets were sold at five cents and these were ex- changed for the many varieties of re- freshments served. Music was provided hy favorite recordings. A new and in- teresting idea concerning the Sweater Dances was the fact that they were mainly conducted because of the de- mand and interest shown by the stu- dent body.

The Manual Training Department, situated on the hasement Hoor, was a series of hangs and Uhuzzesu as piece after piece of amateur craftsmanship emerged in all shapes and sizes. The younger hoys assembled more simple objects, while the older hoys turned out work on the complete line of machine operated tools. This woodwork and handi- craft, practiced in the main part hy the stu- dents as a hohhy, was the extent of work done in the schoors shop. As the majority Senior Artisan Q r 7.

The main purpose of this department is to pave the Way for office work that might he done after gradu- ation. A new idea, more or less incor- porated this year, was that of having stu- dents experience real work in an office such as the Boy Scout Headquarters. The arrangement was agreed upon with hoth otlice Workers and teachers. The girls Went to work at 8:50 in the morning, worked at various machines, and ieft at 5:30, just as the other office help did. The idea met with favor because in this department practical experience is a basic need. THE IIIILUPHUN Ill?

It has grown from one class period a week into something greater, more im- portant, and more interesting. Those especially interested in music, took the suhject three times a Weeic, this included sophomore, junior, and senior hoys and girls in the Giee Ciuh. These actions have developed the study of music into a definite course in the school curriculum, instead of mere- iy a one period a week special class. Each year a seiective group is chosen to sing in the County Chorus Fieid Day at Kutztown. it is considered quite an honor to he a memher of this fine chorus, consisting of twelve students from each school in the County. This special chorus was very happy to he ahie to sing in the Alvin F. Kemp Night of Niusicu which was held in the VX7yomissing auditorium Apii 5th. Ar!

The text is in Egmont Typeface. This face was just completed by S. H. deRoos, one of the great type designers of the world. Although this new letter form is basically classic in character, it, nevertheless, stimulates and includes the inspiration of the modern spirit. In the nohitity of its conception and the fairy grace of its tightest weight, Egmont promises to measure up to the great type masterpieces of the past. As a Hfinishing touchu acknowledgments are made to facie Snyder for student photographyg to Kenneth Thompson for his artistic woodlntoctesg to the Faculty as a whole, for their cooper- ation and tolerance in our many demands upon themg to iwr. Mowis and Mr. Milford for correction of copyg to Miss Printz for art criticismg to Mrs. Martin for supervising the typing of copyg to Mr. Rank for his continuing aid and invaluable adviceg to Zamshy,s Studios of New Haven and Philadelphia for photographyg to Art Engraving Company of Read- ing for all plates, and to Kutztown Publish- ing Company of Kutztown for printing.
