All the peoples of the earth, wherever or whoever they may be, have become victims of circumstance. tighting for the preserva- tion or acquisition of those fundamental rights which are the inalienable heritage of every human being. Yet amid all this tumuit, terror, and bloodshed, life had to go on as usual. As fail passed into winter, and winter in turn became spring, our school slowly but inexorably felt, as did the rest of the world, the iniiuence of war. There crept into the program of the schooi year many indications of the national emergency. symbols which testified to the increasing manifestation of the desire of the student body to do their part in order that they might assure their liberties. Thus, this record of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-two is divided into three sections: fait, Winter, and spring. During each of these seasons awareness of the national crisis increased. Yet in this ac- count of our years at Wyomissing High School we have tried to show, not the in- escapable iniiuence of war, but that of those activities and customs which have rendered our years in school so unforget- Six table. in each section of the book are shown examples of scholastic life, extra-curricular activities, and athletic achievements asso- ciated with that time of year. True. it was sometimes necessary to picture year-round activities as pertaining to one specific sea- son, but when such a condition was neces- sitated, we attempted to portray that activ- ity during that season which best typified it, or during that season when it engaged in a particularly outstanding activity. We felt that in thus departing from the stand- ard set-up of dividing the book into cteariy defined sections of athletics, underciass- men, faculty, extra-curricular activities, curriculum subjects, and seniors, we would be able to present a clearer, more composite picture of all that occurs between June and September of each school year. as the student himself knows it. This year, for the tirst time in over a quarter of a century, those ten months did not end in June with the secure prospect of another such year in the fail, for the country was at war. But aithough ati dreams for the future disappeared. Vvyo- missing High School was secure in the knowledge that through the uncertain fait, harrowing winter and doubtful spring, it had done its part, by contributing to the national emergency ati of its faith and support.

They realized only that they were one step further toward their final year. So, though the war was being waged, Fall brought the same hum-drum wrought by previous Falls. To the Seniors it meant becoming the big shots ofthe schoolg graduation and choosing a career. To all, it meant night basketball games, and the formation of new clubs, teams and various other groups and organizations which consti- tuted a significant part of the scholastic life. steadily fresh information was gleaned and our fellow students were worlcing together intimately, making new contacts and acquaintances. The Junior and Senior classes elected their Presidents and the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y were already in the swing of things. As yet there were no activities directed to the war effort. Although the Tri-Hi-Y was knitting squares for an afghan and malcing dresses for the British War Re- lief, there were no defense stamp and bond sales and no First Aid instruction was given. No air raid rules or drills were being enforced and a physical fit- ness program wasnlt started. This all came with the Spring. Yes, school in the Fall was off with a bang. The Greenies got their first taste of high school, and the Seniors were adjusting themselves to the posi- tion they were assuming. All was peace and serenity. These first few weelcs llound the pupils in the eleventh grade, becoming accustomed to the English-History course, while the Seniors, who were the First to experiment with such a course last year, were trying to comprehend the Wide field of economics. The Sopho- mores found their curriculum crowded with only a few study halls prevalent. After the daily routine of classes, the bell at two-thirty not only announced the school day over, but ushered in the many hours for extra-curricular activ- ities. About this time, college propaganda began Howing in and students tried to be attentive and unbiased in their opin- ions towards representatives from the various schools. Looking backward we saw a well scheduled and thoroughly enjoyable season. Looking forward we envisioned a Spring every bit as bright and promis- ing.

SAIWIPLES CAFETERIA The schooi, as integrat part ot every community, must he responsihie tor certain stand- ards of achievement. Acting as a medium hetween the school and the community, the school hoard, whose memhers are elected hy the citizens. can interpret the schoot to the community and the community, in turn, to the schoot. Controlled hy the desires of the people, the progress of the schooi depends iargeiy on their needs and the way in which they iceep pace with the other groups around them. To heip in interpreting the school to the community, the Parent-Teacher Association holds regular meetings at the high school. The heatth and nutrition program. featuring a dinner typicat ot' those served in the cafeteria each day to the students, was served to show the parents just how aware Ot prevailing con- ditions the schooi has hecome. Posters and informative displays, prepared hy students of the home economics ciasses, placed emphasis on the need for education in nutrition. Dur- ing Qpen House the whole community was given an opportunity to see the notahie ac- compiishments of the students. Every depart- ment dispiayed wortc that had heen recently mastered. Actual demonstration in many rooms showed not only the tinished product hut also the method and rate of progress. The uniforms of the hand were of speciat interest to the Association, who saw them for the first time at the hand concert in March. PARENTS LEARN THE SCHOOL ULUPHUN Sixteen zzclew 0 OW School A.

EXPERIMENTS FOR WARTIDIE Industrial Arts: J. I. SHELLY Perhaps the most active department in the school is Home Economics. Here the girls learn not only to coolc and sew, but also the principles of interior decoration and child care. The purpose of the clothing course is to provide accurate information on clothing construction. analyzing and learning materials and selecting the correct garment that is suitable for each individual girl. The food department treats with the selection and care of household equipment. The girls have not only planned and coolced specially priced meals, but they have learned to maice candy, fancy sand- wiches and desserts. Budgeting, balancing menus, and teaching correct table man- ners complete a most efficient economic course. The manual arts department provides practical experience for boys as amateur craftsmen who turn a piece of wood into anything from a hoolcraclc to a bookcase. Situated in the basement Hoor. we find a classroom where more noise means more achievement. Though the majority of the hoys practice woodworic on handicraft. there are a few receiving basic training in the art of drafting. After the United States entered the war many of the imoys learned to build airplane models for the govern- TEN STITCHES T0 AN INCH ment according to government scales. IIIILUPHIIN T,.,.,.,,.,,,.

Although a good deal of the information which they sought for their themes was gotten from exten- sive reading, the basic material was re- ceived from the textbook. mrhe slcy is the limit for reading and research. This was continuously preached to them throughout the year so that the educa- tion received by each one depended on his own efforts. Two themes were writ- ten during the year revealing the stu- dents' findings. The class was divided into different groups which met at cer- tain times in the auditorium to give reports and have discussion on the worlc. The officers, David Grim, president: Oscar Mogel, vice-president: Jane Mil- ler, secretary: James Royer, treasurer, were elected early in the fall of the year to lead the class in school activities. The juniors contributed to the school play and were also athletically minded, boasting of stars in all sport fields, par- ticularly in traclc and basketball. An unusually large and active class in the school's social, athletic and scholastic life is the sophomore class. The girls and boys were especially active in sports besides contributing to the oratorical contest, the cooperative, stamp club, Gargantuan and other school activities. Their social participa- tion was shown by their large represen- tation at the sweater dances held in the cafeteria. They also presented well- planned and interesting assembly pro- grams. This active participation in the school activities should help them to gain achievement when they come for the last time in Wyomissing High School to the senior class. The ninth graders, another large class, represents an active group of Vvyomissing High students. The girls ardently participated in the Junior Red Cross striving to help a needy cause by lmitting squares for an afghan, wrap- ping bandages, and taking part in other activities of the club. The boys are already athletically minded, participat- ing and perfecting themselves in the various sports of the school so they as iuniors and seniors will be able to help Vvyomissing lceep its laurels in basket- ball and other sports. They also toolc part in the activities of the Stamp Club, the Cooperative, and the Gargantuan. Although they are still new in the high school, the seventh and eighth graders have already made themselves lcnown by eagerly participating in the few clubs that are open to them, namely, the Gargantuan, the Stamp Club, the Cooperative, and the Junior Red Cross forthe girls.

The under- lying purposes of the cluh is to provide an outlet for self-expression. individuality. and to better prepare the students for the demands and activities of the Senior High Dramatic Club. Throughout the year they have put on a number of memory-lingering plays for assemblies. Among these is the UCaptain's Dilemma, a puritan story adapted from l..ongfellow's poem Miles Standish. The Pampered Darling is another among the list of favorites. On the other hand, the club may well he commended on some of its staunch prin- ciples. Among these equality is foremost. ULUPHUN Puffy-six Every member has the opportunity to par- talce in the exhihition of dramatic ability. In this way the duties are interchanged so that everyone gets a slceleton idea of the diverse activities of play production. Parts for the plays are obtained at clula meetings, where tryouts are held. The selections are read by several individuals, who are judged for their voice qualities and resemblance to the description of the character. These short compositions which help in the determination of the actor are lmown as uliolaclcout slcitsf, The cluh held its first meeting in the lat- ter part of October and elected as its presi- dent Laura Vernon, with Gloria Fort: as secretary and treasurer. lxflr.

Determination to overcome evil became the foremost aim in the mind of almost every American citizen. Nlany volunteered services in the Red Cross, civilian defense worlc, or busied them- selves with First-Aid and nutrition courses. indeed, these were duties per- formed by a few with time to spare. But everyone was doing a private, unher- aided part by buying defense bonds and stamps. Our school, under the auspices of the commercial department, immedi- ately promoted a campaign. One Mon- day morning we were greeted on every blackboard by a varied assortment of sizes of Uncle Sams encouraging stu- dent investment in the government. Although this is the serious side of the picture, Wyomissing students cer- tainly enjoyed variety of mid-season activities. For there were the weelcly and semi-weekly basketball games, ice slcating, slciing, sledding and scores of other extra-curricula enjoyments. Musical connections with either the band, orchestra, or glee club lightened dull hours during the winter months. Early Wednesday mornings the walls echo and ring with sounds of band re- hearsal and later the higher pitched voices of sopranos and altos can be heard reverberating through the build- ing. Demonstration of the value of these Filly practice periods was put into effect for the annual Christmas pageant. The band has made one public appearance. presenting a concert of favorite melo- dies: the proceeds of this concert are to be used in purchasing uniforms for its members. A new addition this year is the swing band composed of a great many students, especially those inter- ested in popular music. Their chief worlc is playing for sweater dances. although in the future they may serve in a wider capacity. There was, too, the ardent prepara- tion made for the forthcoming debate. Although the number of contestants was considerably smaller than previous ears, there was anxious anticipation by the whole Senior High School, for the Uregon System was to be employed. Wilson High School lcindly agreed to use that style and also to the fact that there were to be no judges present. Despite the numerous extra-curricular interests, the students in general main- tained a high level of scholastic work. The seniors, especially those anticipat- ing future education, labored diligently to accomplish this end. About this time college propaganda began flowing in and students tried to be attentive and unbiased in their opin- ions towards representatives from the various schools. Looking backward we saw a well scheduled and thoroughly enjoyable season. Looking forward we envisioned a spring every bit as bright and promis- ing. fist' - M I gtk: 1 - IZ ' ' ssh! ur-ru?

The Senior Puppet Club, under the very able supervision of Miss Printz, got off to a rather slow start, but gathered no moss as soon as a unified group was established. The club's first step toward a better run organization was the development of a constitution, which laid down certain rules and regulations to be abided by. It limited membership to twelve persons and required that each individual malce a pup- pet every year, thus creating more and newer marionettes. ln addition, a restric- tion on the number of unattended meetings allowed was set at three. ln this way the group could determine exactly who was or was not interested in the organization, and eliminate those who were not. The Pup- pet Club held its meetings every Tuesday after school. They usually lasted from tif- teen minutes to a half an hour or hour. .QKIQU During this time, after the usual business meeting, the members worked on their pup- pets. practiced slcits, or perhaps worked on scenery. Members did whatever there was that needed to be done. Vvhen all puppets were completed, programs were planned for future performances, and dur- ing the meetings a group of two or three persons gave little shows. The club is now booked with the Recre- ation Center in Reading, having received a letter from the department asking permis- sion to call upon the group to provide entertainment for social clubs, hospitals, benefits, and various other organizations. The club has already given shows at the Green Valley Country Club, the Iris Club, churches, assemblies, P. T. A. meetings. and at benefit performances for poor children.

Richardson Ciassed among one of the most busily engaged and thoroughly enjoyable extra-curricular activities is the Stamp Club. its meetings are held semi-monthly and are under the capable guidance of Mrs. Meyers. Of course, not to be forgotten, is the fact that the club not only is an outlet for a creative hobby, but also a means for social development. Throughout the year the mem- bers have ardentiy attempted to get other students inter- ested in the club. They also have tried to better them- selves in stamp collecting by subscribing to a stamp newspaper and inviting eminent speakers to their meet- ings. Moreover, they became more fully trained in the proper investment in stamps, and learned the types and methods for personal and public exhibits by conducting auctions and individual contests. incentive for these con- tests was created by the awarding of money prizes for the best mounted exhibition. Although the members share seriously and timely experiences in the way of the phiiateiic art, frivoiity is not lacking, illustrated by the fact that the club holds several holiday parties. At the present time the club is proud to have in its possession the Stamp Collectors, Cup which they won on two successive occasions. Because of the national emer- gency no contest was held this year, and the organization will retain the trophy until the time of a future contest, when they hope to add the cup to their permanent collection.

Credit lor this enlivening incentive may he given directly to the Ciirls, Senior High Glee Cluh composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors developing their vocal cords under the direction of Nliss Vvanner. A great deal of this year's worlc has been devoted to a cappella singing, which also compromised a good hit of the singing in the Christmas program this year. An in- novation, requested loy some of the pupils. was introduced into the cluh this year hy which everyone received a marlc for her worlc. Vocal Harmony The Senior High Boys' fitee Cluh meets on a Friday morn- ing. One of the most striking features of this group is its greatly rteptetert numher as compared with last year. One of their projeets this year was the participation in an assemhiy pro! gram.

X1 151 'Yf if Yzzlefide Program The annual Christmas program in Wyo- missing is traditional. it is so hecause it presents something ioeautitui and fuii of feeling to the students and their families. A few weeics before the holidays, the music department selects severai classic pieces oi' vocai arrangement and hegins training piciced giee ciuhs to sing them. The songs are enchanting stories of the Nativity, the Yuietide season, and Vvinter. intermit- tentiy. between songs. a dramatic produc' tion is piayed on the candieiit stageg that, too, like the singing, is in harmony with the season. This year the story of Christ's hirth was played in rich costumery and Bihiicai dialogue. in simple terms, it gave the audience a great story that is very poign- ant and very old. The whole cast and the comhined giee ciuhs felt they presented a AND 'rue ANGEL APPEARED llI.llPHllN Swfol-f program that was deeply satisfying. There could have been no douht left in their minds, however, when the lights over the vast Tudor auditorium dimmed and the singers, candies in hand, spread around the auditorium in single file and wreathed the waiis with hurning tapers. Thus formed, they sang Silent Night whiie the memhers of the audience joined them. A custom such as this is warmly icept and played over again and again for the same reasons that we read familiar parts of the Bihie. its ceremony enriches experi- ence, especiaty educational experience. A Christmas such as ours is inspirational to the many students who have shared in its production, or only witnessed it, for it stands as an appreciation hy everyhody of the heiief in something timeless.

They had met in a strange Way many days lnelore. out in a forsalcen spot on the great desert. As the one had sat down upon the sand for his evening meal, a second Wise lVlan appeared on the horizon and ap- proached the llirst. So the tirst two joined. and later met the third. Guided hy the star. they found Mary and Joseph and the Babe, lying in a manger. The shepherds were ready to worship the Christ Child. They presented gifts as the mother Mary and unassuming Joseph stayed quietly near the feed trough in which their laahy lay. No words were spolcen lay any actors on the stage at this time. lt was tahloid. But the glee clulos sang softly a musical haclc- ground for the voice of the narrator. He told the story of this scene. Pithy quota- tions from the Bihle enriched the dialogue as it told the audience the tale intermit- tently between musical presentations. This was the final vignette in the Christmas story, followed lay the processional and Silent Night. After these numloers the lights went up, and friends and parents crowded out. But the many students still on stage had the pleasing satisfaction of having produced a warmly received Christ- mas program. Glee cluh memhers rattled their music sheets into staclcs for one or two to carry baclc to the music room. Out- side in the hall, the candles were snullfed and handed to collectors who put them into hoxes until next year and another Yuletide.

SNOWBOUND ice cold weather with gusts of snow and wind forces aii of Wyomissing to turn out for the annual winter carnival. The prac- tice-pants, hoth young and oid, enter into the spirit of fun in all avaiiahie winter sports, consisting of ice sicating, sledding, tohogganing, siding, and snow hatties. The community has only itself to thank for such advantages. The playgrounds are perfect sources for sledding, skiing can he per- fected in neighboring hiiis, and frozen Hooded tennis courts are the favorite haven for ice skating. If you can steer a sled weii, tolerate fatal jars and joits, and iove to feel wet snow melting through your clothing, then we suggest you attempt to coast your way down Lake Avenue, a long hill with only the ashes on the Boulevard to hinder your new coasting record. Shouts and screams can he heard from the successes and fail- ures to reach the hottom of the hiii safely. The ones who have truiy made a name for themselves for wrecicing trains are the Weil known ugoons of the Goon Squad with the ugoonettesn heing their favorite victims. The safety of ali is secured hy the cautious cooperation of the Wyomissing poiice, who have successfully seen that dangers can he forgotten hy hiocicing off the Avenue. However, for hest results at sledding on Laicey come equipped with heavy armor and make your appearance after most have heen called into their nnegiected studies. ON ICE Vvyomissing has many hiiis and jump- ing sources forthe sport of skiing. The hiiis surrounding the creek are only advised for those who know how to maice a quick stop or those who can jump across water with siiiis. Behind railroad tracks and the ath- Seventy Winter Carnival letic fit-Id are also favorite spots. However, l.oschie's Woods in Wyomissing Hills is the most popular, for here large and small hills are anxious for use and several clil-is offer satisfactory jumps for those dar- ing. This place is famous for its long runs. which invite new records of distance to he hrolcen in slciing. hut it is the few siedders that hrealc up the snow for perfect slciing. At night on the top of the hill are a few who attempt to lceep a iire going which welcomes ull. Frozen ieet and wet clothes are forgotten in the merriment oi the crowd and at the sound of craclcling wood. With undesired souvenirs ol' hruises and a snowy covering. the once lively crowd trudges wearily homeward. Brirfouli Tim FALL lt is to the sharp glimmer ol' two tower! ing lloodlights and the echoing strains of the uslcatc-r's Xvaltzn that the community anticipates most. it has become a tradition to appear at our famous ice courts. Not having any slcates is a poor excuse because Mr. Bertolet always has old ones ready for use. The fear and shyness in attempting to ice slcate won't he accepted either for everyone gets initiated into the famous sport. Everyone comes out from the little tots on two-hladed skates to the elderly ladies who havent been on ice skates for years. Even the faculty, lilce the pupils, agree to forget the school worlc they must do and join in the fun with Nlr. Shelley usually liying on the ice from Ucraclc of the whip and Wir. Crowell gliding gracefully along. The ice is lcept in condition hy Mr. Bergman and favorable weather and the willing volunteers for scraping after all are gone. To complete a perfect picture are the constant strains ol' music and the shed with a warm fire and the ulost and found shoe department.

This year the squad reaiiy put ali they had into it. The familiar cry of Hcheerieading practice today in the gym was heard every Tuesday and Friday. No douht this constant practice is what reaiiy made them shine toward the end of the season. The coach and the captain of the squad should have a great deal of credit too. Miss Geiger was the coach who offered many ideas and suggestions and Peggy Atkinson was the captain of the squad. Next year's leader is Ann Vvicicham. The squad itself was the same six as iast year. There were six girls and three hoys. The girls included: M. Fisher. A. Wickham, P. Dowd, A. Dudley. A. Smy, M. Atkinson. The boys included: M. Dry, F. Eisenmann. VV.

BEFoRE TIIE HIRE The Girls' Athletic Association has hacl a lmusy time this year. Beginning with the new school term il sponsored many hicycle and wallcing hilces. During this same season it planned the regular inter-class sport contests in hoclcey and soccer. VVith the arrival of winter came an enthusiastic interest in haslcet- hall. Not only were there class contests hut also several games with other schools. At the same time howling lmecame the craze ol all the girls ancl resulted in the estahlishment ol class teams. A swimming team was formed which participated in several meets. The spring months were clevotecl to new character forming activities. A good will tour taught the girls to worlc willingly for other people and an overnight hilce coupled lun with responsilmility. A play clay to which girls from surrounding schools were invited helpecl much in promoting a lrienclly spirit. IILIIPHUN Sv-myacfgllf The Spring Evemir v4 Q--4 3? 19 N 4 E In Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Lovef, Maybe so. But, in the year 1942, in a high school graduating class, the thoughts of most young men are on the War. They are not thinlcing so much whether they shall he lcilled or crippled, hut rather how the war is apparently going to disrupt their plans for their life's work. Some are planning to go to college. At first the hoys may have thought completion of a college course would he interrupted hy a call to service. Then, however, the colleges provided three-year programs, allowing those who want to, to get a degree loefore twenty. But even so, these will he no vacations. The shortened program may not he of any avail anyway, if the draft age is lowered. These, and other douhts, assailed the minds of hoys not yet out of school. How comfortable and secure were the undergraduate years when war con- fined itself to Europe and remote places. Then everyhody could think in terms of unmatured youth, growing naturally to maturity, and not hurried into hard, grim attitudes of men and war. But lamenting is scarcely heard, as practical demands begin to encroach onto the sunny plazas of youth. In fact, little ULIIPHUN my of anything on war is heard. Essen- tially, youth at high school is deter- mined to stay just that. Furthermore. it is not spring. In the fall America was a neutral nation, if not at peace. Wyomissing, far from Washington, was not physi- cally affected hy impending war. Of course, the tide of events was noted and tallied about. The whole high school lcept its eye on the worldwide doings. Then, on the morning of Decemher Sth. the upper classes congregated in the auditorium. From their seats the stu- dents watched the curtains and off and on an announcer's voice would say that this was Washington and in the Senate chambers the President of the United States would soon declare a state of war with Japan and Germany and italy. Momentous events have occurred. Many will invade the course of our lives. Nevertheless, we have planned a junior and senior prom and a farewell banquet. The broad expanses of grass around the school are getting shades greener every day we wallc out into the lowering sunshine. The termination of school life is drawing closer, hut on the scent of lilacs. 1 X -J W 15 R J xx Us F, M ju H w A f 1 r Qf 1 f- - f 1 ' P4 N, V 'V vu-I :ffm fxf Wai- H ' , A, 4 A S , , ML L ...ps-. ,15- N pr Qin- mm , , fly 'Wg fe' -ff: ff f' 4 M f in YY ,d'I1 ...-- l'I 42 if Forma! Argument The debate in February was oi great in- terest to the school at large as well as to the four delnatersz Roloert Brenner, Rich- ard Ginn. Carl Kern and Katharine Meyer. This was so because a new style of debating was used. one in which the constructive spealcer of each team is cross- examined for six minutes hy a quizzer from the opposing side. It is called the Qregon system. As yet, it has not caught on in Berlcs County, and consequently Vvyomis- sing had to debate Vvilson. The style is widely practiced in colleges, and hecause oi the livelier, spontaneous oratory that is provolced hy cross-examination, Wyomis- sing has adopted the system and hopes its use will prevail throughout this section. Whether compulsory military training for all youths at their twenty-lzirst year should loecome a permanent policy in the United States was the issue debated. Even a half-hearted analysis of the question re- veals the possibilities for argument pro and con. A lively topic. then. coupled with a new system, provided a theatrical display on our stage and on Vvilsonvs stage. The whole student body and faculty became eager when the cross-examiner pushed haclc his chair and strode over to the oppo- sition. A small paclc of white cards was cupped in his hands, and he rapidly thumlned through these for the opening guns. Once under way. sarcasms were in- terlarded 'twixt questions and answers while the audience got the impression that this was more as a debate should he hut hadngt loeen for a long time. Oregon style demonstrated forcibly the small value in delivering prepared speeches and rehut- ting, when no prohing of the opposition's platform and attitudes can he undertalcen. R.

At another program. hliss Nagle showed a numher of slides on her extensive travels in the United States, lxlexico and Alaslca. Perhaps one ot the most revealing evenings was the Hohhy Night. on which occasion Hans Sagemuehl received lirst place honors for his airplanes. Bill Huyettts telegraphy competed with photography, music, and the collection of records and stamps. A similar evening, which again proved the versatility of the cluhis mem- hers, was Talent Night, when a play about Abraham Lincoln was given.

After losing a complete team because of graduation, Mr. Crowell has prac- ticed evening after evening with these younger proteges. They have shown a keen inter- est and have responded well to their instructor's teachings. Ginn Biesenloach is starting in the numloer one slot, heing the only senior memloer of the team. In their respective order these young tenniseers of future stardom are Diclc Hartman, No. 2, and Googie Floren, N No. 5. These memloers are supported hy Jim Guthrie, Gus Lienhach, Walt Krause, Alfred Kissinger, Jim Palmer and Jim Titlow. The girls, team, captained hy Jane Hartman and managed by Lou Apprich, hope to capture the title which they so desperately lost last year. This team has excellent chances with all their last year members returning. This year Miss Geiger has consented to coach the girls' team, which was previously under the direction of Mr. Crowell. Lou Apprich, Jane Hartman, Christian Lutz, Margot Wal- hreclcer and Anne Wickham malce up the team which hopes to come through unde- feated.

ULUPHUN 1v....fy.f..... Wyomissing had a fairly successful tracic season this year, winning all their dual meets, while piiing up a number of points in meets with more than two teams. West Reading, Wilson and Mt. Penn all tasted defeat at the hands of the Sunset speedsters. Dareii Ranic and Bill Biemicer were the teamis mainstays in the dashes, broad jump and relay. Rank got the 100 down to 10.4, while Biemicer ran the 220 in 23.4. Dareii reached I9 feet in the broad jump and unofficiaiiy broke 20 feet in practice. Biemicer, who is notiquite as fast as Rani: in the century, did his outstanding work in the 220. In dual meets he was hard to heat, usually winning with late sprints. Gene Sowers and Herhidung won a lot of points in the weight events. Sowers threw the discus close to 120 feet and was usually followed closely by Jung. In the shot Herb usually ied with heaves of a little over 40 feet and was followed hy Gene. Sowers finished third in the discus at Albright and was only a few feet hehind the winner. After Wyomissing finished second in the miie relay at Albright, with a number three man who had not trained for the 440, their expectations were high for the Penn Relays with a new man in the third slot. But they did not come through, fin- ishing fourth in a fast eight-team heat. Dave Grimm did Weil in the javeiin, hut had a lot of tough luck, losing first and second places many times hy inches.

Daniels Ninety five Tmcfe SPECTATORS ON THE HILL No tract: meet or any outdoor event is complete with- out a panorama of excited spectators upon the hill. It is this group that supplies the spirit and confidence essen- tial to give the encouragement our participators need to bring victory to Wyomissing. The cheers and shouts can he heard for quite some distance when the opponents offer a lot of competition. In the fall season the spectators are interested in the game of soccer, although their inter- est is often hampered by being the victims of acorn throwers. The care for the grass is constantly requested by the caretakers. Books, coats and papers accentuate the cluster on the hill. All classes and their Hgangsn are represented at their favorite spot, just as the famous UGoon Squadn is pictured above. cn1.nPHuN fa eff Cammencememt of Living 19 42 Perhaps no class in the history of the Wyomissing School District has ever laced as difficult a prohlem as the Class ol i042 in planning its commencement pro- gram.

A contrast hetween the old and the new, however. seemed less vital than a presentation showing a vivid awareness ol prevailing conditions. Ahan- doning the idea of the people, the com- mittee, under the chairmanship of Kath- erine iVieyer, hegan worlc on a topic having a wider scope ol interest. War had hy then hecome a vital matter to he laced with real- ity and handled with forethought and com- petent planning. The novelty--if it could he called that-had long since worn oil. Everyone was heginning to feel the direct effects ol the seriousness ol' the situation. They crept up slowly, hut not unnotice- ahly. Sugar rationing and a laclc ol trans- portation laciiities lor gasoline hecame major issues. Countless alumni had already heen called into the service. An uncertain future lay ahead. Surely the school had heen one ol the first to feel the war hecause of the douhling of outside worlc such as the First Aid classes. Douhts N arose about the Senior-Junior Prom and the camping trip-both ol great concern to the seniors. it seemed that the war was changing everything. Dealing with real- ities, the program was planned in four main parts: the war ol' men. usually the most obvious sign of war and the field in which the greatest loss is always suffered: the war of resources, perhaps the most vital to a successful outcome: the great war ol' machines, which play an inevitable part in the coniiict: and the war of nerves, center- ing ahout the channels of thought which occupy men during a war. Under the class advisor. Mr. Rank. Katherine Meyer and her committee spent many weelis in the preparation of the pro- gram. Guinther Biesenhach, Louise Ap- prich, Katherine lVieyer and Anne Vernon were each responsihle for one of the main parts. Ray Vvestcott was in charge ol the entire setting of the program. toms Discussen inety seven After the first few weeks of organiza- tion the election ot class officers made the seniors really conscious of their new ranlc. Realization that there was just one year left in which to accomplish all the things they had dreamed of doing as ugreeniesn started a bit ot reminiscing over the span of years which had seemed so endless seven years before and was now finished in such a short time. The class had lost many members in the last three years. They were determined, however, to malce up for any loss in maffpower by doing everything twice as we . Hardly had the year begun when poliomyelitis struclc its toll in Berlcs County, forcing on the whole school two weelcs vacation. No longer were there any large groups wandering about alter school, or any time for that matter. No one was allowed on the streets after six o'cloclc, and voluntary isolation was car- ried out by conscientious citizens. For- tunately no one in the school was stricken. Toward the middle ofthe sec- ond week, when the danger period seemed well passed, Mr. Crowell de- cided to talce the cast of the school play to see The Rivals, at a quaint theatre in Yardley, where the summer season was just closing. Several weelcs of daily re- hearsal found our play in good shape. It toolc more than one dress rehearsal to get the actors acquainted with one another in costume. Mrs. Malaprop's witty re- marks fell in profusion and lcept every- one in stitches. but it was Guinther Bie- senbach's portray ot that odious Mr. Acres trying to solve his love problems IIULIIPIIUN that won the greatest praise from the audience. Then November came, featuring the Inter-Club, which was preceded by for- mal dinners. The record-breaking num- ber of guests was proof of the class' ability to stage the most successful dance in many years. That was the night the senior girls revealed that the two to one ratio couldn't get them down. Civilization, or what had been at least a small part of it. went wild on the night prior to the first game with West Reading. Both teams were playing with tire, which they found, as they had learned long before, can be quite dan- gerous. Oddly this feeling grew to a great neighborliness when Vvyomissing accepted an invitation to their rival's junior prom. Lengthened time for the investigative themes didn't seem to affect the English students, who didnit do much more than worry about the whole matter until there was almost no time left to do any work. Then came a variety of subjects and nights of crammed reading. The memorable evening of the Senior-Junior prom was just a memory as spring passed into summer. Seniors trying hard to look ambitious slaved over preparations for the final night when they would step oft the stage for perhaps the last time. The banquet and those last few days that passed so quiclcly will always be the most out- standing days ot all their school life to the seniors.

W I4 7 P! ZQ7 1 One rllllldfl-'ll Tlverlty-lixrm-'P 42 Colophon Cf all those definitions which the dictionary attributes to the word Colo- phon, we choose to term our hook the final description. No other phraseoiogy can more exactly and completely label our purpose in producing this volume than the final description, for all of the future, of our happy years at Wyomis- sing High School. The additional defi- nitions of Uthe finishing touch, the sum- mit, and inscription placed at the end of a manuscript containing facts relative to its production, the scribe, illustrators or printer's name,H merely form a pyra- mid upon whose apex rests our chosen definition. For graduation also may he termed the summit, or the finishing touch, and our Colophon is infinitely more to us than a manuscript containing facts, or a printerys name. Clearly and simply, it is the sum total, physical, mental and moral of our education at Vvyomissing. It is the only and final permanent description that we are able to give as we stand at the threshold of life at the end of public education. In support of our hook we would wish to note that the headings are in Gara- mond italic, a design ofthe Roman type- face, cut hy Claude Garamond in the Sixteenth Century. The text is of a face just completed by S. H. DeRoos, one of the great type designers of the world, and is known as Egmont Typeface. Although this new letter form is basically classic in charac- ter, it, nevertheless, stimulates and in- cludes all the inspiration of the modern spirit. In the nobility of its conception and the fairy grace of its lightest weight, Egmont promises to measure up to the great type masterpieces of the past. Finally, we wish to extend our most sincere appreciation to all those who have in so many ways made possible the publication of this hook. Acknowl- edgments are made to our patrons for their generous financial assistance: to Jack Snyder for taking, printing, and developing a large majority of our pic- tures: to Mr. Morris and Mr. Milford for correction of copy: to Miss Printz and the art department for their co- operation in the production of certain pages: to Miss Nagle for supervision of typing, to ZamsIcy's Studios of New Haven and Philadelphia for photog- raphy: to Art Engraving Company of Reading for all plates: to F. A. VVoer- ner, of Reading, for printing: and iast hut not least, to Mr. Rank, our advisor, whose unfaiiing support and encour- agement helped us over the many rough spots in the preparation of our Colophon. .l.M.
