In addition to this, it allors monies, approves the appointment of teachers, and assists in planning the progress of the school. The local board consists of Eve members: Mr. P. H. Reigner, Presi- dent, Mr. C. H. Kellum, Viee-Presi- dentg Mrs. Margaret Fry, Secretary, Mr. I. C. Butler, Treasurer, and Mrs. Ade- laide Grimm. There are two commit- tees: The Buildings and Grounds Com- mittee, and the Teachers' Committee. Except for unusual occasions, the board meets monthly. minififrafion SUPERINTENDENT AND PRINCIPAL ' Our supervising principal, Mr. I. L. Appenzellar, daily shuttles between the grade school and the high school super- vising the activities of each place. His many duties consist of advising the teachers, consulting students, arranging curricula, interviewing salesmen, scan- ning budgets, attending meetings, and planning new courses of study. In aid- Xl- f QX F? A25 ' .11 A fi 'wc ' l- ing the supervisor, Mr. Rank, the prin- cipal, finds himself busily engaged be- fore, during, and after school in making decisions which concern student activi- ties, discipline, teaching, and meetings. These men, in spite of the many calls upon their time and energy, seem to be able to maintain a constantly cheerful attitude toward the students and their work. They are in their respective of- fices both early and late where parent or student is able to consult with them. l Mr. I. L. Appenzellar, Mr. Allen W. Rank Nineteen 1-f--3'j,5 1 -I ,xx A. W. Rank, L.

With this in mind, the Social Studies teach a better understanding of the modern world, including the origin of its social institutions, ways of thinking, and the evolution of its serious problems. ENGLISH ' Literature aids a student to live through the human history of two compatible cultures, American and English, as interpreted by the poets and prose Writers, who expressed the dominating ideas which shaped An- glo-American thought epoch by epoch. He will Watch the building of a nation, the evolution of its ethics, and the development of a vision of a noble common life for all its people. 36lCbf MATHEMATICS ' There is a great need today not only for persons skilled in manual dexterity, but also for individuals trained in clear and logical thinking. A knowledge of mathematics is es- sential to the student in order to provide him with a fundamental fac- tual background With emphasis on its application to scientific and prac- tical problems. SCIENCE ' In our system of living, everything is based on scientific achievement. Our modern World is a machine Worldg consequently, the student must understand the principles of science in order to cope with the present mechanized environment. The progress of science is never end- ingg therefore, the pupil must also be helped in his preparation for a career in the field of advanced science. Q XA fb ,, 4 ttf' T. V. Brunner, H. Y.

Printz Twenty-two dlflfl LANGUAGES ' Language is the best means of communication which man has de- veloped. As the world grows more compact, it becomes increasingly more important that we be able to communicate with more groups of people. Languages are taught in or- der to awaken in the students the desire for exchange of ideas with their fellow men. ART ' Art, in our way of life, relates it- self to civic, social, intellectual, moral and cultural agencies. Like music, it is a universal language which leads to a better understanding and appre- ciation of others. Art also develops a means of expression, standards of taste, andenjoyment of beauty which are all important attributes to a suc- cessful educational program. jaduky MUSIC ' Although we may not comprehend their spoken language, through the medium of music we can under- stand people in all countries of the World. Music reflects and explains the customs, habits, and ideals of a people. For this reason, the student is encouraged to Hnd his own in- terest in music Whether it be as a creator, a performer, or a listener. COMMERCIAL ' In the commercial department the students are given the choice of three subjects: typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping. From these subjects they receive a Well-rounded prepara- tion for future positions in large and small ofhces. Accuracy in calcula- tions, spelling, typewriting and in all phases of the commercial Work is the prime objective. is X . ,,.i1'1, l 'K WFZZA X l -if N , A. W. Wanner, W. I. Musser Twenty-three E. B.

However, Mr. Haag has most capably carried on since Mr. Shelly has been called to the Navy. The bulk of the work is being done by the Iunior High group. Mechan- ical drawing is taught for a few periods each day by Mr. Kay. PHYSICAL EDUCATION ' In a well-rounded educational pro- gram, emphasis is placed on develop- ing strong bodies as well as strong minds. The gym provides a place for relaxation and recreation. Here the student is being helped to overcome minor physical defects by carefully planned corrective exercises. But, most important of all, he is taught the rules of good sportsmanship and teamwork which he must follow throughout his life. jafugy T. R. Mury K. L.

HOME ECONOMICS ' One of the most profitable and in- teresting studies for girls is the home, for it is the moulding force in many deciding issues of our lives. The Home Economics course is designed to further the study of family rela- tionships and the management of the home in all its various phases as a means to better understanding of family life. LIBRARY , ' The library is the academic Work- shop for the school. Its tools, in the form of books, are available to both pupil and teacher for reference work in connection with the curriculum. From this, the student is provided with valuable material to supple- ment his textbook knowledge, and aid him in a Wise use of his leisure time. if-1 H- A Q l -ai, .Q , , ,-f L.- 1- ' 'Q 'A' ,gy is ,f jg V-Wy! XNQQ UCUTCHHHI COIODE1 D. C- Shirk Second Lieutenant Hamilton Crowell ' VVe consider it a privilege to dedicate these pages to those former members of the Wyomissing High School faculty who are now serving in the United States Armed Forces. We shall try to present here al brief chronicle of their numerous and varied experiences. Lieutenant Colonel D. C. Shirk, now stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, was the former manual arts teacher. His army training started while still in college, when he enlisted in the Reserve Ollicers Training Corps. Continuing his military studies he worked himself into the position of Captain, which rank he held when called to active duty at the outbreak of the war. At present he is attached to the unique infantry training school at Fort Benning, which is attended by men of all ranks from private to general. The former French teacher, now Lieutenant Hamilton Crowell, was inducted in the summer of 1942. Shortly after receiving his basic training he left for oliicers candidate school at Fort Iackson, New York, where he was commissioned. Tours of duty at Fort Levenworth, Missouri, and Washington, D. C., followed. His last letter told of his emotions as he saw the shores of some unknown parts of the European theater of war. Twenty-six acukg in eruzce acuhg in eruice Ar fW by Pfc. Ester Nagle zfc Petty Officer I. I. Shelley Next to leave the faculty was Pfc. Esther Nagle, who resigned from the commer- cial department to join the WACS. For primary training she reported to Des Moines, Iowa. Her present address is Hobbes Air Field, New Mexico, which is in one of the more desolate parts of our country. Because this post is stationed in the middle of the desert, she was unable to have a formal photo taken. Successor to Colonel Shirk in the manual arts department, Petty Oflicer zfc I. Irvin Shelley left for duty in the Navy last September. After receiving boot training at Sampson, New York, he was assigned to the training of potential naval officers at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa. The most traveled of the faculty is Corporal Robert York who left his post as band instructor last Iuly. He was trained for the risky job of mine sapper at Camp Ed- wards, Massachusetts, and transferred to the Air-borne Engineers. He could not pos- sibly be further from home than at present for his address is now somewhere in India. His presence in this remote area prevented us from receiving a photo of any sort of him.

' A crack of gum and a flashy smile is Blumie's usual trait. Her pleasing per- sonality and healthy humor will Win many friends. Since she is quite adept on her feet, dancing and skating are her favorite pastimes, and these she does well. Getting up early and studying to- tally disagree with her. Fame and for- tune seems to be her desired goal which she hopes to attain next year at Brad- ford Iunior College.

Dancing, driving, and listening to Bing Crosby croon are among her favorite pastimes, but the moments spent with Iim are her happiest. The Held of nurs- ing will probably claim Bettie.

A RESUME OF THE PAST ' By painting pictures and playing in the kindergarten band, the class of ,44 made its Hrst public appearance as a group of baby-faced children. Because some of us entered first grade in February and some in September, our experiences varied slightly, but the pattern traced here prevailed generally. With the exception of some variations such as making butter and popcorn, our IA course was similar to that of kindergarten. In IB we started the first of our series of projects- the store, which after being completed, gave us our first business experience. We used paper money, of course. Some of us remember the second grade Angels' Choir and most of us must recall making black cats out of cereal boxes. Third grade found us making a replica of Penn Avenue while, as big fourth graders we took it upon ourselves to make a cotton plantation using a cardboard box for the mansion, a poster for the background, and cotton wrapped twigs as cotton plants. Fifth grade divided us into two groups with one housed in a high school annex room and the Fifty-two add .Ma fury other remaining in the grade school. Although making an airplane poster is the best remembered of the latter group, those who Went to the high school may recall bringing skunk cabbage to class Qnot as a scheduled projectj. The Safety Patrol was in- troduced in the sixth grade, with most of the boys and even some of the girls becoming full-fledged mem- bers. On leaving the grade school we found that we were going to miss the little things, such as: card trad- ing, Pop Stetler's, cloak-rooms, dodge- ball, Palmer Method, pom-pom-pull- away, Reading Circle, memorizing poems, Gra-Y, operettas, Friday morning flag days, Tuesday morning bank days, rainy days and eraser races, picture study, yo-yois, Valen- tine boxes, and rutches. These were the highlights of our grade school career. Going to junior high school proved to be a big thrill for most of us. Hav- ing a different teacher for each sub- ject became a fascinating experience, but the newness soon wore olf and we settled down to walking instead of running to classes. As the years went on and the work became harder our class became more and more united. Who will ever forget our class trips to Hershey, or the Hal- lowe'en parties at the old red barn? Athletics soon began creeping into the class activities. The girls found themselves defeating all the other 3 iw? --T-v V- .5 ' - f :lf 'fx - ff ,JM XX' , ,jug Second Grade project Fifty-three Southern Plantation if 5-gl 29 fr, XS ,..,' . xg , r ' X .J r ' ,,, Old Grade School Cfaafs .jwcafory classes in basketball, hockey, soccer, and track, as the boys started pre- paring themselves for varsity sports. The competition between the girls and boys led to a basketball game to prove the boys' superiority. It seemed that in no time we were Walking that last mile for our diplomas. Let us remember many of the little things that provided us with so much fun, such as: Kutztown train rides, ice skating, Goon Squad, Goonettes, Water-filled fire extinguishers, touch football, Fairday, Fleet-footed Four, summers at the playground, Satur- day mornings at the old gym, Christ- mas caroling, sweater dances, cafeteria golden rule, Low man carriesf' Mass meetings in the Blue room, discussions at the cafeteria table, P.P.S.A. meetings, and graduation.

IUNIOR CLASS ' These future seniors show definite signs of success-scholastically, athletically, mu- sically, and with an all-around participation in extra-curricular activities. English class, with itis many heated debates between the boys and girls probably provided the most scholastic interest. With the posting of the honor roll, the line work of this class was revealed by their marks in all their subjects. Basketball proved itself the chief magnet for the athletic ability of this class and this attraction was justihed by them. This enthusiasm for basketball turned to base- ball with the coming of spring because the school's first baseball team in many years was well populated with juniorsg not to forget those who were on the track tearn.

Perhaps their chief characteristic is their class spirit, for their enthusiasm for class gatherings was strong throughout the year. Their home room has the honor of reach- ing the highest total in the sale of bonds and stamps while their arclor for all outside activities was made outstanding by their participation in Glee Club, Library Club, Puppet Club, Stamp Club, etc. Fifty-nine - .--Q .gg e 51 S S 2 sf ' 12 !,'Nf!L,'XX1.

This is followed by the investigation of European contributions to America by the Vikings, Teutons and those who began modern European countries. Current news of the World, with emphasis on Latin America, complete the course. The eighth grade, also taught by Mrs. Meyers, studies the historical and geograph- ical points of view of the history of the U. S. A. The contemporary history of our country is mainly a geographical study. Mr. Brininger teaches democracy at Work in our American communities. Short courses are given on The Business of Lifef' which is a course on personality and character, and l'Our State-Pennsylvania. The sophomores are taught The Story of Civilization, which starts with ancient times and ends with the present civilization. Under Mr. Rank, the juniors take an American history course, which gives us the basis for being good Americans today. The use of intelligence in the solution of con- temporary and future problems constitutes the conclusion of the social studies de- partment. The senior class will long remember the economic pamphlets and Hemi- sphere Solidarity books studied in this class. Sixty-six H946 ' Basic English is taught in the seventh grade to give the students the ability to ex- press themselves clearly and forcefully in speech and in writing. The first year of junior high has its regular grammar lessons combined with literature. Some of the books covered are Treasure Island, K'Rip Van Winkle, Courtship of Miles Stand- ish, and the Christmas Carolf' Adventures in prose and poetry make up the literature of the eighth grade. The freshmen work chieHy with drama, biographies, and short plays, having studied essays, short stories, and narrative poetry in their earlier junior high school career. This year each pupil has his individual English folder which contains all his formal Written Work. The senior high classes have a more advanced study of the mechanics of English plus a thorough course on prose and poetry which includes the plays of Shakespeare, Chaucer's L'Canterbury Tales, essays by Francis Bacon and Montaigne, and theme writing. Many outlines are also made covering lyrical poetry, and the romances of the seventeenth century. Once a month book reports are given in order to develop a taste for good reading and the ability to speak before a group as Well as to criticize intelligently.

The foundation, arithmetic, is taught to the seventh grade pupils by Miss Brunner, a new addition to our faculty. Skills in fundamentals, especially fractions and decimals, are the topics covered. They also Work with areas and volumes. The eighth grade Works with equations, triangles, proportions, formulas and ratios. A study of the metric system and of business arithmetic completes the year's Work. The freshmen learn to understand the basic laws and language of alge- bra. The sophomores continue this study Working with fractional equa- tions, and laws of extracting roots. Plane geometry is the course stud- ied by the junior class under the direction of Mr. Brubaker. Proving theories by using only facts and no suppositions gives the basis for higher mathematics. This is expanded in the senior courses of solid geometry and plane trigonometry. T A special course, known as Ap- l plied Mathematics, is offered to the senior boys. Geometric Theorem Sixty-eight ta' -.-?.J 'W X is cience j vw ' .v, i l A Marine Life Through the Microscope ' General science, biology, chemistry, and physics are the subjects which compose the science department which is headed by Mr. Martin and Mr. Fencil. The elementary rules of nature are taught in junior high, under the title of Our Environment, which has as its sub- topics: water, rocks and soil, tire, trees, air and the health of the human being. The adapta- tion to the forces of nature constitutes a large part of the general science course. Conservation, community sanitation, and the farm and garden are a part of this subject. The solar system with the various planets, including earth measurement, completes the general science course. In biology, the various plants and animals, together With their diets, habits, structures, etc., are studied and compared. Chemistry with its many experi- ments gives us a basis for advance- ment in this vital Held. Physics is directed toward prepar- ing the boys for the technical Work of our armed forces. The rudiments of electricity, aeronautics, etc., are thoroughly studied, for they are nec- essary in order to cope With the prob- lems of the scientific World. Observing Oscar Sixty-nine g N s.,.1j 1.1 A if Y Hablando Pan-Americana LATIN ' Latin is first introduced to the stu- dents in the eighth grade, where everyone acquires a foundation for further study. The advanced Latin course is suflicient preparation for college. Drilling on forms and vocab- ulary brings about a gradual increase in reading and understanding. Short narratives, adapted from such sources such as Caesar, Cicero, Vergil, and Ovid provide a better understanding of Latin forms. For those who wish to continue, a thorough study of Cicero and Vergil is provided. From the beginning of this study, cultural material of the Greek and Roman civilizations shows how the Roman life and speech have influenced our own. 6Ll'lgll6ige5 MODERN LANGUAGES ' The modern language department is under the supervision of Mrs. Douds, who teaches Spanish and French. The first year Spanish course is a study of Castilian Spanish. In addition to grammar, vocab- ulary, and translation, a knowledge of Spain, its history, and people complete this course. In the second year the Spanish of Latin America constitutes the basis of study. A better understanding of the life and customs of our amigos to the south is developed. This yearys French class consists of ad- vanced pupils, who in the most part con- verse and read books written in French. Conjugating Seventy :ne .xdrfd ' Every day work in art class includes sketching, drawing, water color, working in pastels, oils, and frescos. Thus each student is given a taste of the different types of art work. The color chart and the use of light against dark serve as a basis for ad- vanced study. To further the war effort, bond and salvage posters were distributed to the various public buildings. In design, the art depart- ment made the different kinds of insignias, worked on types of ships, trucks, tanks, airplanes, etc. In the study of color, camouHage is stressed. For the home front, all grades made K'Fire Prevention posters, trying to convey a vital message to our com- munity. Drawing Graphs ar is f iS X y ,I yy. 1- E-I7 Additional work is done for the various school activities, such as mak- ing scenery for the Christmas play, Book Week displays, and art work for the year book. The puppet club is also a product of the art depart- ment. Puppets are made in full by the students, who also give life to them. Throughout the elementary grades a course in art appreciation, termed Picture Studyf' is taught by Miss Printz. In eighth grade this is terminated. The students then are given their collected material, which includes a knowledge of great ar- tists as Rubens, Rembrandt, Millet, and Raphael. Hand working in sil- ver, metal, and clay add to the in- terest of the individual. Seventy-one ,, .,-lp, . Sv ' Our girls' chorus, under the direction of Miss Wanner, is enjoyable for all who like to sing the classics or modern music. Each Monday and Wednesday morning the senior chorus can be heard rehearsing. Their efforts are directed toward the Christmas program and the Night of Music, traditional musical events. The junior high pupils also have a chorus which this year displayed its talent at Christmas. In their classes they are introduced to the history of music, which includes a study of great composers and their works. On Wednesdays after school a group congregates to enjoy piano music. This year a new orchestra has been organized under the direction of Miss Wanner. Although it is quite new, much has been accomplished. The band, under the direction of Mr. Musser, consists of boy and girl members. Its activities include entertaining in assemblies and playing at the basketball games. The latter increases school spirit for both the players and the spectators. Our hepcats, with much enthusiasm, have organized a better swing band than ever before. While doing this they have created more interest in music and have provided entertainment for our schools and surrounding communities. Interpreting Music Seventy-two udic 'Emma' I Pdf? Using the Files Reference Group ' Our library, with its murals of historic Pennsylvania Industries compares favorably with any high school library in the country, in both beauty and content. The number of books on the shelves, amounting to almost 3,ooo, cover a multitude of subjects which appeal to all grades. This helps to make the library the hub of our school, for every course, particularly the language and Social Studies department, relies upon it for a supplement. It is the place Where all the subjects unite to form the symbol of higher learning. During the day, those of us who spend time in a study period have access to the complete files of magazines, text books, encyclopedia and reference books of almost every type. For those who manage to find spare time, the magazine rack enables them to keep up to date with current affairs. Theibulletin boards, placed across the hall from the entrance to the library, are always Filled with articles of timely interest. In charge of the library is Mrs. Kathryn L. Brininger who is assisted by a group of students.

In the lower grades the use of hand tools is prevalent. By making hot plate holders and simple book racks, the usage of the plane, chisel, saw, brace, and bit is made more efficient. Our more advanced students make Hower pot stands, book racks for desks, hot plate hold- W ers, wagons, airplane models, and shallow plates hollowed out by hand. Students are taught how to i square a board in order to measure accurately. The usage of a straight scale is also taught. Associated with the more advanced handicrafts is the mechanical drawing department. Here the boys are prepared for advanced college work by learning the art of drafting, blueprint reading, and architectural drawing.

Here the beginners learn the different food values and their classifications, As they pro- gress, meals are selected, planned, and Finally cook- ed. Bv the time the senior year is reached, the pupils are cooking full-course dinners, as well as learning the appropriate table manners. The latter part of the year is spent in making clothing. Careful selection of styles, colors, and ma- terials suitable to the individual develops the girl's taste and color harmony. Thus, at the end of the year, the individual has a greater knowledge of economics in the home. Household Arts Seventy-five 1l5e J ia 425- x ' 0I'I'1J'l'l8I'ClCL Use of Modern Ofhce Equipment ' A better understanding of the business world is developed by the students in the commercial department under the supervision of Mrs. Freed. Capable accountants, typists, stenographers, and clerks have already been using their knowledge in school activities. In addition to the fundamentals, a knowledge of the adding machine, ditto machine, mimeograph, and the dictaphone is very useful in paving the way for the job acquired after high school. However, many commercial students are gaining additional practical experience by working in various oiiices. In the typing department, to make it more interesting, the students type to music to gain coordination and rhythm. Speed and accuracy are the goals of every typist who is rewarded for her efforts by class recognition of her ability shown on charts in the classroom. Shorthand, is developed through practice. Thus, the students take down notes in various classes in shorthand instead of the usual longhand, since experience is the basic need of this department. A speed of one hundred words per minute must be acquired in order to graduate. Thus the saying, L'Experience is the best teacherf' holds true in the commercial studies. Seventy-six pAg:iicaf glclucafion OUR gym classes offer a great variety of sports for every season. Fall finds us engaged in hockey and soccer. Winter activities include basketball, badminton, gymnastics, and bowling. With spring come track meets, soft- ball games and tennis. Interest is en- livened throughout the year by inter- class competition. Mrs. Krum and Mr. Diedrick direct these activities. Also, to insure physical fitness, medical attention is given to every student by the school physician, Dr. C. E. Lerch, and nurse, Miss Dorothy Lewis. Thus with competition, good sportsmanship, and physical and mental well-being emphasized, the development of every student is aided by the physical education department.

' With a rap of the gavel the weekly meeting of the Girl Reserves is called to order by the president, Christine Lutz. After the devotions under the direction of the chaplain, Betty Reese, the secretary, Lorraine Muller, calls the roll and reads the minutes. This procedure is usually followed by a re- port of the treasurer, Frances Sund- berg, committee reports, and a discus- sion on future activities. But the most ardently anticipated feature of the meeting is the program, which is planned by the vice-president, Nancy G, R, Bmkctbail Team Reigner. Some of those greatly en- Eighty Q2 f joyed were an exciting indoor track meet and the amazing tricks of the magician, Reverend Steinhart, and the light and airy play, 'lThe Still Alarmf' The girls also found pleas- ure in doing service for others. The multi-colored afghan, U.S.O. cooky bake, and making favors for the hos- pital are but a few examples of this Welfare work. Among the speakers the girls particularly enjoyed were Lieutenant Alt, an army nurse who saw action in the South Pacific, and Lieutenant Iones of the W.A.C. Not to be forgotten was the annual card party last March 23.

HI-Y CLUB 1943-44 ' Shortly after the portals of the school opened for the 1943-44 session the ofhcers of the I-li-Y Club met with their adviser to set up the pro- gram for the year. The program was arranged so that the members could hear talks given by men from all walks of life, in the hope that these talks would help the boys choose their life Work. After the speakers had been chosen, each member of the committee Was given a number of men to contact and Hnd out vvhen they could address the club. When all the reports came in, the program schedule was completed and printed on the cards, which the Hi-Y and G. R. Clubs put out for the high school students. The Hrst allair on the program was the opening banquet, which was held at the Iris Club. After the meal was completed the club members were entertained by some of the new members who had not given their speeches at the closing banquet the year before. When these splendid orations were finished the boys moved to the sitting room Where they were entertained by a magician who mystiflecl them With his tricks, Finally basketball season rolled if 20 il -.T---,'E.'-ji i gut. xii 'L' 1- around and the traditional Hi-Y stand reappeared despite the short- age of candy and other refreshments.

Mr. Musser, the leader, interpreted the musical scores with a vitality that seemed to be contagious, for the band put a definite snap into its playing. Although it was numerical- ly inferior, it was musically superior to those of former years. Their reper- toire included many famous over- tures, marches, and medleys of every- bodyis favorite tunes. The highlights of the year for the band were two entire assembly programs and The Night of Music,', which were well Pi-mace Period received. , Eighty-four wing gall! ' This year's edition of the swing band proved that it was one of the best ever, for the boys made a better impression than ever before. Both the brasses, led by Bob Cockley, and the saxes, Bob Rentz First alto, displayed an improvement over la t year. Mr. Musser's presence seemed to give the boys an added zip, and his personal experience in this field helped greatly. Following their first appearance at the Hal- lowe'en dance, the boys helped to drum-up business for the Inter-Club dance by playing in an assembly. Later they provided music for the St. Patriclis Day affair, but the real highlight came when, augmented with musicians from Mt. Penn high school, they gave an entire assembly. The band's library contains not only the latest popular songs, but also some of the great swing arrangements of Glenn Miller and Sy Oliver. As part of their work in music harmony, some of the members wrote orchestrations for the complete dance band. Although the band will lose first and second trumpets, the saxes will remain nearly intact, and should retain their same high standards next year. nn-n-......M - Swing Band-Firsl Row: Daniel Parish, Richard Hafer, Myron Lunine, Philip Ricgnur, William Blemker.

Af- ter they had accustomed themselves to playing together, their interest in- creased, and by the end of the year a facile organization began to devel- op. Owing to its young membership, this group will remain the same for several years, and with time and hard practice should become a very com- petent orchestra. Although it did not play for any functions this year, the members have their eyes toward an active program in the future.

' The Spanish Club has stepped into the limelight to claim its place among the extra-curricular activities. Although a newcomer, it has become quite popular as a result of the many programs, meetings, and activities ill various Helds. At the beginning of the year the members elected Lorraine Muller as their presi- dent, Wilma Oplinger, vice-president, and Maryann Bealler as secretary. It Was under the leadership of these girls that the programs mentioned above were visualized and produced. These programs helped to promote a better understanding of our Latin American neighbors through participation in phases of their various dances, songs, and dramas. Pupils to be eligible for membership must maintain a B average the first yearg a goal many students achieve because the Spanish coarse offers so many interests. Under the guidance of Senora Douds, members of this first Spanish Club to be organized in the high school, have completed a year of typical Spanish fun and hospitality. The attention of the entire school was focused on the club, April 14th, when an assembly commemorating Pan-American Day was presented. A play enacted com- pletely in Spanish and several dances, effectively performed, closed this program. Eighty-eight FBHCA ' By providing a Way for the students to put the French language into actual and practical use in conversation, the French Club under the guidance of Mrs. Douds completed an active and interesting program this year. Through- out the year, meetings Were held in the various homes of the students and oc- casionally the group was enlarged by the addition of a few of last yearss class. The meetings most enjoyed were those spent in singing, playing games, and listening to vocabulary records on the victrola.

The members spend their study periods doing desk Work, mending and binding books, and keep- ing the hall display cases Hlled with varied exhibits.

Amid a flower bedecked dance floor the young couples glided to soft music, broke into jumping jive, or swung into the swaying chain of the Conga. The weeks prep- aration for the dance kept the chairlady, Ioan Glasser, very busy, but the successful turnout repaid the committee's efforts. The garden theme was carried over into the attractive powder room, provided for the girls that evening, by a complete trans- formation of the corrective room through the efforts of Wilma Oplinger and her aides. Palms placed at the entrance of the school lent a pleasant atmosphere to the whole scheme and provided an adequate background for the signing of the guest book. The gala affair was brought to a close at 11:30 by the playing of the National Anthem. Ninety-four al'LCe5 Cll'lC05 The cafeteria provided the space for the sweater dances this year.

As its name suggests, its purpose is to promote co-operation: first, between the students g second, between the students and the school, and third, between the school and the community. The Co-operative has been behind the various drives for scrap materials, and bundles for the Red Cross, and has worked in close harmony in connection with the sale of bonds and stamps in the school. The school play is another function which has been sponsored by the Co-operative this year. It took charge of the printing and selling of the tickets, and is now considering the purchase of an honor roll plaque to be placed in the lobby of the school. To form the Co-operative, two representatives from each home room are elected at the beginning of the school year. They meet every Tuesday afternoon in the cafeteria at which time they discuss problems that arise relating to school activities. This year David Erb served in the capacity of president, Iames Lindermuth as vice-president, and Carol Sherk as secretary, with Mr. Rank and Miss Brunner as advisers.

' Each year, because of their high standards of character, scholarship, leadership, and services, certain members of the senior and junior classes are elected into the National Honor Society. This distinction is limited to the top fifteen per cent of the senior class and to the top five per cent of the junior class, although the number elected does not always fulfill this quota. Election of the students to this honorary organ- ization is entirely by the members of the faculty. The National Honor Society, formed among the high schools in 1929, is a scholastic organization corresponding to the college Phi Beta Kappa. Wyomissing, having joined at the Society's beginning, still has less than one hundred students belonging to this select club. This fact alone proves the high attainment that a student must reach and the worthiness of this goal. The new members from the senior class admitted this spring are: Willizlm Blem- ker, David Erb, Shirley Fork, Christine Lutz and Lorraine Muller. Representatives from the junior class are: Mary Ann Bealler, Larry Chalmers, and Barbara Lightner. The seniors elected last year are: Patricia Burdick and Darell Rank.

The play given was based on facts that exhibited clearly to every pupil present the atrocities of the Germans in their vain attempt to wipe out the principles of democracy. ELLIOT IAMES ' As a part of a series of educational assemblies, Elliot Iames presented a demonstration on liquid air. This was Mr. Iames' second appearance in the last few years and he was thoroughly enjoyed by the students on each occa- sion.

In spite of occasional silly spells, rest periods, and forgetting lines at re- hearsals, the play, Shakespeare's Ladies, was a success with its Well chosen cast under the direction and coaching of Mrs. Brininger. Band Action .fdififeniggeif IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ASSEMBLY ' A mathematical mystery given by the eighth grade algebra class under the supervision of Miss Brunner, was one of the numerous assemblies pre- sented to the junior high school this year. Titled The Mystery of the X, the play revolved about the recover- ing, by algebraic methods, of a stolen article. Other purely junior high as- semblies were: a band program, a puppet show, various plays, and an assembly given in honor of Music Week. The Heroes Q S1 J V Q The Mystery of the X BACK THE ATTACK ' The I-irst assembly held this year was an effort to help promote the Third War Loan Drive in the school. Two veteran soldiers, both recipi- ents of the Order of the Purple Heart, told of their experience fighting against the Germans in Africa. They made the pupils realize that in order to win this War everyone must buy bonds and stamps and 'iBack the Attack to the best of his ability.

The plane is an 0-46 A, which is an observation type and was commissioned in the fall of IQ36. Equipped with a 725 horse power en- gine, it had a maximum speed of 185 miles per hour. The army has given us permission to retain most of the instruments. eruice C6145 IUNIOR RED CROSS ' A group of girls from the ninth grade have tried to help the War effort and some needy citizens. Dur- ing the school year they have aided meager children in War areas, prin- cipally England. Samples of their activities were a doughnut sale, an old clothing drive, and making Christmas favors for service men. Their president was Ioyce Smythe and their adviser Miss Brunner. USHERS' CLUB ' The primary purpose of the Ushers' Club is to extend a feeling of hospi- tality to parents and friends visiting the school. In addition to this service the girls learn, through experience, the delicate art of meeting people. At Commencement, the Christmas pro- gram and various other school func- tions, the girls are always on the job with a smile and a warm welcome for everyone. il!!

The girls were reward- ed for their three-day task by the satisfaction of knowing that they had materially aided in shortening this brutal war. The girls performed a task which would have been done by the faculty, and their efhcient efforts were appreciated. APPLE PICKING ' This year, as last, the students of Wyomissing High School and sur- rounding schools participated in the patriotic duty of picking apples. The girls as well as the boys did their bit trying to relieve the emergency caused by the lack of manpower. Nearly every afternoon during Sep- tember and October, a busload of pupils could be seen leaving school for the orchards. These pupils were among America's high school stu- dents who helped Uncle Sam by salvaging what threatened to be a lost apple crop. war .fdcfiuifiefi TIN CAN COLLECTION ' The cry for tin cans came from Washington, and the school respond- ed to the best of its ability. When reporting with the required number of cans, the pupils were given a rank corresponding to those of the army. Seventh grader, Ronald Weidman, won the competition with the amaz- ing total of over four thousand cans, and received the highest rank pos- sible which was the honor of the Purple Heart. BOOK CAMPAIGN ' Once more the pupils of our school found a Way to make life for some soldiers a little happier, through their book and magazine campaign. Theirs was not a part of the nation-wide drive, but they conducted one of their own especially for the Cadets stationed at the Reading Airport. With no particular goal in mind a committee, headed by Robert Dun- kelberger, collected nearly one thou- sand books and magazines. l 1 1 x X I Salvaging Tin One hundred nine Make Room for More Ina rf id fo Emerson 1 ATHLETICS .1515 ...l Soccer TCHIITA-Fil'5l Row: Robert Stump, Douglass Leaf.

' Although the possibility for a soccer season was remote at the beginning of the school term, a four-team league was organized to try to keep the sport from be- coming just a memory as far as interscholastic competition goes. The strong Muhlenberg aggregation won the league while Wilson and Mohnton followed in that order. Wyomissing, which looked very promising at the start, fin- ished last winning but one game, while losing four and tying one. The team seemed to lack the scoring punch because all four losses suffered at the hands of the opponents byone goal. Only in the game at Mohnton did the team play like it could with its experienced players and potential scoring strength. The team was captained by Dave Erb, ,Who proved his worth on calling the tosses and as a formidable obstacle to the opposing teams, forwards. Bob Stump, Darell Rank, Bill Blemker, Walt Sowers, Eugene Stapleton, Iim Wilson, Harry Bare, Jim Lindemuth, Bob Bickel and Alfred Walbrecker were some of the star players who made a futile attempt to uphold the fine records of preceding Wyomissing teams.

The Sunsets ended the year with a record of nine wins and five defeats in league compe- tition, and had a record of fifteen wins and seven reverses during the year's campaign. The team started the season with six straight triumphs, and after losing the next three games, a winning streak of eight straight followed. In the game with Muhlenberg for Hrst place in the league, the Sunsets were defeated by a score of 24 to IQ and lost two of their three remaining games. The squad was led by Captain Walt Sowers, who tossed in 182 points dur- ing the year. He was ably assisted by Dave Erb who scored 154 points and Bob Stump who collected 96. The team was rounded out with Darell Rank, Bob Floren, Bob Bickel, who was pro- moted to the varsity in mid-season, Eugene Stapleton, Iim Palmer, Harry Bare, and Iim Lindemuth.

' With every break in the almost in- cessant spring rains, the track men at- tempted to round themselves into shape for the coming season. As a result of the inclement weather, practice was held to a minimum and the team did not reach its peak until late in the season. The team was handicapped through the loss of Darell Rank, a sprinter, who suffered from the return of an old muscle in- jury. Harry Bare's Work in the field events, Bill Blemker,s sprinting, and Ned Saylor's distance running, helped to keep the team together.

Much credit is due to Mrs. Krom, the coach, and Shirley Blum- berg, the captain, who offered their ideas and suggestions. At the end of the season Ellen Apprich was chosen next year's captain.
