During our four years at Wyo- missing High School we have explored every nook and corner of its hails: we have memorized every tree and pathway of its campus. and its tower has hecome a symhoi of all our growth and achieve- ment. In its ciass rooms we have studied hard and trained our minds for useful citizenship. On its athletic fields we have learned the codes of good sportsmanship and clean living. In its ciuhs and activities we have cultivated our interests and developed the art of democratic sociai living. By basing our hook upon the school itself we have tried to rep- resent that intangible something, the atmosphere of school life, which we have grown to love. Some may cali it cooperation, en- thusiasm. comradeship, or ioyaity. This spirit of Vvyomissing is all of these. and it is something of which we shall always he a part.

Under the guiclance of Mr. Morris and Mr. Milford, every stuclent studies the art of self-expression ancl learns to appreciate good literature. Junior high pupils are taught the basic fundamentals of grammar to use properly in written anti oral expression. Monthly reports are written on home reacling hoolcs which have been selectecl from the list of classics clrawn up to help the pupil choose valuable looolcs. ln senior high, the emphasis is placecl on creative CLASS RIZCITATION-Sally Shirk and 7fB English. if teen writing ancl interpretation of litera- ture, since by this time the students should have a good lcnowleclge of basic grammar. Every week the juniors and seniors have one clay set aside as Htlleme clay , when each stuclent tries his hancl at writ- ing an expository paragraph. An- other project of the eleventh graci- ers is the composition ol an original short story, while every senior is as- signecl an investigative theme. Thus the aim of the English cle- partment is to develop a goocl knowledge of the fundamentals of grammar. literary interpretation. ancl lluency in writing ancl spealc- mg. -SV K, , i g- ! x ' 6' tk SJ W if 790 6Ll'lgLl,6lg2:5 LANCliAGiiS'-Mrs. Edna F.

Haag and Mrs. Edna Springer, courses are of- fered in four years of Latin and two years of Spanish. ln his freshman year the pupii is introduced to the mysteries of Latin grammar. The mastering of vocalo- ulary and the translating of simple stories are interspersed with the study of Roman life and valuable investigation of derivatives. The second year course consists mainly of the reading of simplified stories of mythology and some accounts of Caesars Gallic Vvars. To those students who wish to continue, Cicero with lesser prose Writers is offered in the third year. ln the fourth year Virgilis Aeneifi. an epic poem, and writings oi lesser poets are presented. The Spanish courses are among the most popular ones in the school. All the classes are conducted in the language, even in the first year. Here fundamental grammar and vocabulary are mastered so that in the second year efforts can be concentrated on verb forms, conversational Spanish, and oral recitations. By the end of his senior year the student should he well prepared for any college language course or even Irips usouth of the Borcieru. LATIN TRANSLATION-Br-isy Mt-llvnin. Sixteen CLASP DE ESPANOL-J.

Tile big event. so long anticipated by ati underciassmen. was held tiiat year at the iris Club with Haroid Harringtons orchestra supplying ttre mu- sic. The committee, headed by Ann Siiaaioer, included Nancy Evans, Ronald Copeland, and Fritz Siienic, who planned a very successful dance. This year, for our' iast formal prom, tile seniors wanted something really special. May 29th was set as tile big date and. after much discussion, the group decided to rent tile dance hail of Byndenwood Hotel. This gala summer resort with its smootir dance Hoot overlooking tile outdoor swimming pool, proved time ideal setting for an evening of fun and merriment. Soft iigimts and bouquets of fresii spring Howers were the perfect background for time enthusiastic couples wiro danced until midnight. Refreshments were served at the attractive coke bar, and Whitey iVtiesicy's orchestra kept its music slow and sweet. Finally, when time band broke into the strain of Goodnight Sweetheartu, the dancers took their leave. The juniors began to iooic forward to next year's prom and the seniors, reluctant to say goodi9ye,ViJrougi1t to a close time iast and most exciting event of time year.

OCTOBER 1- Vvyomissing 26, West Pottsgrove 0 In the second game of the season Wyomissing fared much hetter, for our opponents of the day could not even cross the fifty yard line. The Sunsets got off to a slow start and could tally only once in the first half. The score rolled higher in the third period on a thirty-tive yard punt return hy Copeland and on a six-yard run hy the same halfhaclc. A fourth score was produced in the last quarter on a pass, Kline to Vveher, which netted thirty yards. TOUCHDOVVN-J. Hall hits paydirt. OCTOBER 8-Wyomissing 0, Collegeville 6 This game was played in extremely hot weather. The Sunsets not only lost the game hut also the services of their stellar quarterback, Bob Vanclerpool, whose leg was fractured after about two minutes of play. During the entire route, the visiting Collegeville team made only one threat of which they tool: good ad- vantage. The lone score was registered a few seconds hefore the end of the first half. Vvyomissing penetrated the visitors' five yard line three times hut laclced the scoring punch. OCTOBER 22-Wyomissing 27, North Coventry 0 Alter a weelcs layoff. the Sunsets resumed activities against the North Coventry Bears on the home field. it was in this game that the team reached its pealc. The game was dedicated hy the coaches and the players, to Bch Vander- pool, and as a Hremission of sins. The determined charges of Bruhalcer and Gela- enslehen scored first alter a drive of sixty-five yards. Hall did the honors from the two. The score remained 7-0 until half time. In the ensuing half, Wyomis- sing hrolie loose and tallied once in the third quarter, on an eleven yard end sweep hy Copeland, and twice in the fourth. The final two scores were the results of passes, one to Ralph Wagner and one to Copeland. in this contest the Sunset forward wall, made up of Ralph Wagner, Addesso, Rohitzer, Puss Wagner. Reichmann, Thompson, and Weber, performed extremely well, thwarting every- thing the Norcos had to offer and hloclcing superhly offensively. Sixty-two jhofdaf so OCTOBER 29- M Wyomissing 35, Cressona 13 Terminating a four game home stand, the Vvyomissing eleven wal- loped a spirited Cressona High team. Wyomissing took the lead in the first quarter when Hall scored on a two yard plunge. The Crimson Tide tallied twice in the second canto while the Sunsets reg- istered once, on a three yard sweep hy Copeland. The half time score was 14-13, Wyomissing out in front. in the second half the host gridmen turned on the steam. Cope- . land and Noll scored in the third period. the latter on a deceptive double reverse. In the final minute Kline hulled over from the eight to end the scoring. Kline converted after each touchdown. THAT EXTRA YARD-R. Rim-cle mann, S. Kline. NOVEMBER 5-Wyomissing 29, Pennshurg 13 Vvyomissing put on a first quarter display of power in this contest and then battled on even terms the rest of the way to emerge on top: 29-13. The game was played on avery windy,chilly afternoon. The first two times the Sunsets got their hands on the hail they drove to the promised land with Hall tallying the initial score from the one and Copeland duplicating the former's feat from the twelve. After the enemy had returned Vvyomissingis lciclcoff for a touchdown, Kline toolc their boot on his own ten and rugged it the distance. The hosts retaliated with another score before half. The second half held less action, with the only score coming on a pass from Kline to Ralph Vvagner. NOVEMBER 12'-Wyomissing 7, West Reading 14 The traditional Battle of the Bbroughsn was waged on the Vvest Reading field on a dreary clay which proved to he even more dismal than it appeared. Wyo- missing's first threat was halted by a penalty. This stopped our injury-riddled team until the last quarter when Sid Kline, on a left endvsweep, found the route hloclced, reversed his field and scooted forty-eight yards for our only tally. The Cowboys scored first in the second period on an end-around play from the eight. Their second score which proved to he the deciding marker came in the third quarter after a long drive was terminated hy a twenty-three yard off-taclcle slash. This contest marlced the end of the road for Co-captains Kline and Copeland, Van- derpool, Addesso, Rohitzer. Rieclcmann, and Vveitzel.

The other veteran is Hvvheatiesn Vveitzel, Who, as an outfielder of better than average ability, also has shown promise as a pitcher ancl will most likely be alternatecl in that position. Bob Vanclerpool who Woulcl have been in the inlqielcl is still not available cluexlo a football injury which is still on the mencl. The promising newcomers include nDiz Thompson at thircl base whose strong arm ancl big bat should malce him a valuable asset.

In another field of music the ninth grade giris have aii taicen an active part in the Christmas program and the Spring Concert. The freshmen have become famous for their weeiciy Saturday night parties. The New Year's Eve celebration was a big social event, and although the class has developed interests in our neighboring boroughs, it has remained loyal to Wyomissing. The ninth grade is an important one, for the responsibilities of the ieadership of junior high are not slight. The students, study haioits are weii formed by this time. and since the grades of the freshman year are aiways considered hy coiieges, it is wise to establish a good record for the first of the four high schooi years.

It is the termination of a long twelve year period, during which time we have been offered every opportunity to eclucate and better our- selves. In evaluating our achievements we have found that the growth of each personality is based upon friendship, work, and loyal- ty. Friendship with faculty and classmates, striving for knowledge ami academic achievement, and the nourishing of loyalty and pride,-1 these three have been, our school life itself. It is lighter and more amusing incidents which we recall most easily. They have filled our ciaily lives with fun and merriment. But on them we have built a foundation of true education which will continue to direct our lives after we leave school. It is for this that we are most appreciative, and, as we say goodbye, we hope you will not forget us. SENIIJRS MARGARET LOUISE BUNNELL Yftjecn 3, 4: G. A.

The class of 1950 assemhlecl to lzmegin school life in 1937 in the Bausman Memorial Church. As far as we can remember, the outstanding activities of our lcindergarten group were the rhythm hand, the daily rest period, and Linda Burdick as the star of Hcinderellau. Under Mrs. lVlonyer's watchful eye We had a blissful year, little dreaming of what lay ahead. First grade was held in the old grade school where lVliss Brightloill intro- duced us to our first year of school life. Some of us still have the lalaclc Hallo- we'en cats cut from oatmeal hoxes and the splattered paintings done on the easel. Playing house in the little orange-crate cottage was our favorite diversion. By second grade we were too much for one teacher. Miss Doland, hetter lcnown as uDoley , and Miss Hollenhach led us through an eventful year high- lighted hy moving to the abandoned high school and establishing our fame in those new surroundings. Finger painting, learning the Palmer method, singing, and arithmetic were our main occupations. Vve will always remember third grade under lVliss Hollenhach. That year we mapped out Vvyomissing, each malcing his own tiny house. We also dug clay hy the creelc and made lndian pottery loy halcing the dishes in a ground oven in the playground, visited a dairy and a halcery, and had some Wonderful parties. By fourth grade we were feeling quite grown-up, especially When, as vio- lets and tulips, we tool: part in the May Day program. We can also rememher malcing nature trails through the playground woods and playing upom-pom-poll- away in the gym. Fifth grade, under lVliss Holwig and lVliss Noll, was highlighted lay the heginning of Vvyomissingys first Girl Scout troop. We can also rememlaer the air-raid drills, jumping rope at recess, trading cards, and Eddie Schofer playing America every morning. ln our last year, as the self-assured leaders of the grade school, we ruled the playground and gleefully enjoyed all the privileges of the mighty sixth graders. Our operetta. UA Wooden Shoe Christmas , was a great success. Do you re- memher the final good-loy picnics? The grade school days, as we loolc laaclc on them now, were wonderfully One Hundred Four 6 0,55 .MJ t0l'g carefree. They were the days ol Valentine parties. Halloween masquerades, bilce hilces, eraser tag, roller skating, weekly visits from Miss Printz, recess in the play- ground huts, chocolate mill: every noon, pigtails, and cops and robbers. But worlc became harder, and before we knew it high school loomed close and forbidding. None of us will ever forget our first weeli of seventh grade when, as the most meelc and bewildered Ugreeniesn, we wandered from room to room through the complicated maze of crowded halls searching desperately for the math room or the library. it didn't talce long, however, for us to discover every noolc and corner of the building, to learn that you can't wallc to the neat if you expect to get any lunch, and, above all, to have impressed upon us by the towering upper- classmen that a ugreenien is by far the most insignificant form of animal in existence. As soon as we entered our second year of high school, we, in turn, delighted in tormenting the new crop of seventh graders beneath us. Following a Hallo- we'en party at Lutzis barn, the girls held the first of many sleepless slumber parties in Evans' third floor. The spring camping spree at the Daniel Boone Homestead was another Girl Scout escapade, and the parties at Fishers and Brookes' pre- pared us for that big event, Miss Brunner's Jr. High Co-op dance. The girls de- cided that even though they could beat up the boys, they wouldn't bother demon- strating it any more. The boys, in the meantime, were engaged in their own Boy Scout activities. By ninth grade we were becoming much more socially minded, some ol' us even attended our first inter-Club dance. Mr. lVlill:ord's assembly program, Night at an inn and The Blue Gate , gained us tame on the stage, and history classes under our idol, Big Ed , with his Ucammorotta Concentration Campu tc. C. CJ. were the highlights of academic achievement. The Blue Triangle dance at the Y. VV. C. A. was a gala affair of the Christmas holidays. Remember the day our junior varsity beat Vvilson, the county champs, and plastered a tremendous 44-15 across the board? The J. V. relay team, led by Allyn and Copey. also toolc first place at all the county meets and at the Venslce relays. Copey brolce the junior high-jump record of 5' 6 . As we attended our last Spring dance, a circus theme with side shows, pinlc lemonade, and all the trimmings. we bid a fond farewell to our freshman year and the last of junior high, and loolcecl for- ward to becoming mighty tenth graders. Our First year in senior high began with the election of class officers. Sid Kline was chosen president: Dottie Richardson, vice-president: and Evelyn James, secretary-treasurer. Under these new leaders plans were immediately started for our first class party which was held at Richardsons x One Hundred -Five 6' .I Sfwff S3 Q if-. Q . ,Sizz- 190 C aaa .Ma for? As the season progressed, such activities as Y-Teen, Girl Scouts, and Hi-Y rounded out the activities of the busy sophomores. A large percentage of the boys showed their interest in sports by going out for football, basketball, baseball, and track. The girls also gave their support to the teams by selling tickets and programs at the games. This was the year of our beloved biology classes, which included trips to the creek, and an interest in snakes. Latin assignments were made a little easier by doing home- work collectively at lunch time. Although the first few class parties were characterized by the udressing-up of both boys and girls, dungarees soon became the accepted style. Everyone enjoyed such occasions as the New Year's Eve gathering and a coasting party held at Kline's. Slumber parties and a Y-Teen trip to Daniel Boone were other memorable events. To celebrate the close of our sophomore year, the girls went out to Bower's Country Club for a picnic and swim. Our long-awaited class rings arrived during the summer and were proudly displayed at the swimming pool and the drug store. Our new class officers for eleventh grade were: Bob Vanderpool, presi- dent, Linda Burdick, vice-president, and Ronald Rieckmann, treasurer. Under their leadership, many varied activities were planned. The first big event of the year was the annual Inter-Club dance, in which the juniors participated whole-heartedly. About this time, many of the ujolly juniors had begun to undertake the task of learning to drive, and a familiar question soon was, Can you get the car tonigbt?',. After much discussion on style and size, class hats were finally ordered. VVith their arrival, we became the founders of Class-Hat Day, which is now an annual event. Vvhile the Spanish class was learning that a knowledge of espa- nol could be useful at times, the scientific half of the class of '50 was busily engaged in the wild ex- periments of physics class. The commercial students could often be seen hurriedly doing their short- hand in homeroom. . hiany class parties were held in Sisks log cabin and Evans, rec- ' reation room, and no one could complain that there wasn't enough 1 to eat or that the parties were bor- 1 ing. The coming of spring was highlighted by our first participa- IN THE CABIN-N. Parrish. R. Rieckmann. C. Marburger, M. Gardner. VV. Lutz. VVOOPSL--N. Parrish, B, Vanderpool. M. Gardner, VV. Lutz. One Hundred Six C aaa .Ma fury tion in the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at the lris Club. The year was climaxed by the un- forgettable class party which we gave for the seniors. The Sisks are still wondering about all the broken hammocks. The annual ex- cursion to Bows-r's Country Club was enjoyed once more by the girls, who also left the next day for Ocean City. As we came for the last time, as seniors of Wyomissing High, the first task awaiting us was the elec- tion of class officers. The office of president was ably filled by Ronald l Rieckmann, while Bob Vanderpool and Sid Kline were elected vice- pres. and treas., respectively. All the members of the class were immedi- ately put to work soliciting. writing articles, and typing write-ups for the Colophon. Although the class had few boys. an active interest was taken in all sports, and the seniors were stars in football, basketball, baseball, and track. The football season was climaxed by the West Reading game and a party that night at Richard- son's. The next weekend, after weeks of planning and decorating, our last Inter- Club dance was held. The next big event was the arrival of name cards. For a week or two, the halls were full of autograph-seekers. and all the seniors were suffering from writer's cramp. Pictures were also exchanged at this time. During Christmas vacation, an original class party was held at Evans', with the Gay Nineties as its theme. Everyone dug up a costume from the attic, and the results were really good. However, the highlight of the vacation was undoubtedly Dottie Richardson's New Year,s Eve Party. After seeing a midnight show, we returned to Richardson's and danced or listened to records until break- SET 'EM UP AGAIN-B. Housum, B. Engle, J. lVloyer.NVV. Lutz. DIEROLFS LOOSING-J. Moyer, F.

The whole class cooperated in planning and practicing the program. The last big social event ol our high school career was the Junior- Senior Prom, which was held on May thirteenth. Other memorable events of our senior year were the Shady Nook Adventure, Shilling- ton Diner parties, trip to Perkiomen Prep, and the Hi-Y assembly. Final arrangements were made to hold Baccalaureate Services on June eleventh and graduation on June fifteenth. Thus our high school days came to an end.
