FOREWORD
Since tomorrow is here before today seems ended, we have had
to capture today what we could appreciate tomorrow.
In an effort to compile an interesting book with thoughts and
scenes for pleasant reminiscence, we hope that our achievements
are evident. In all sincerity, we have enjoyed working on this third
issue of RECALL and wish you may have the same enjoyment as
you recapture the scenes of classmates, classes and life at Quaker-
town High School. Our only regret is that this is our last expression
of class spirit.

TRIBUTE
To
Miss Mary M. Stever, whose sympathetic understand-
ing of human nature has won her the deep and sincere
affection of the class. As a conscientious worker she
strives for self-expression on the part of the student.
Always interested in the progress of the class, she
found occasion to direct the class plays in the midst
of her activities as the head of the English Department.
The Class of 1941 can merely express in words of grati-
tude what she, in actions, has advanced for the class
and, primarily, for education.

TO THE MEMBERS OF
It has been a real pleasure to be
associated with you during your high
school career. Not only have you
acquired knowledge, developed
skills and appreciations, b u t you
have also developed your person-
alities and have experienced work-
ing with others.
Your diploma shows that you
possess sufficient ambition to com-
plete a task once begun. Without it
you would be barred from many
fields of endeavor.
I congratulate you for advancing
your Rima Mater through the publi-
cation of its first printed yearbook
and wish that each member of the
class will be both happy and success-
ful in his life's work.
Sincerely,
Joseph S. Neidig
Supervising Principal
THE CLASS OF 1941 :
Rbout twenty-five years ago the
cry was raised to make the world
safe for democracy. Since that time
most of the democracies have fallen.
The United States is almost alone in
this respect. Can we keep our
country safe for democracy?
You and the thousands of gradu-
ates from other American high
schools will be called upon, very
soon, to give your answer to this all
important question. Does the Amer-
ican way satisfy you?
Best wishes for success in any field
which you may choose. Your record
after leaving school will continue to
affect your Alma Mater.
Sincerely,
A. F. Hunsberger
Principal

WE PASS THE TORCH TO YOU
We, the members of the Class of
Nineteen Hundred Forty-One (do not
ask us how) of the high school of the
town of Quakers, County of Bucks,
(not written in shorthand as $) State
of Pennsylvania, do make, publish,
and declare this our last will and
testament.
We do hereby bequeath to the
faculty of our dear Rima Mater the
right to celebrate with much mirth
and madness the throwing off of the
yoke which we have held them under
these past years, find to further
purge our minds of more black spots,
we do acknowledge with all grati-
tude that their efforts have finally
"landed" us upon the road of life
with not too much "a flounder."
To our successors in the Class of
1942, we do relinquish all the rights
to concessions, all records for ticket
sales, all the pleasant hours which
we have spent here, and our super-
cilious attitude toward the "frosh."
We do further make the following
specific bequests:
Gladys Bitner's loquacious ability
to her sister, Dorothy.
William McNair's height to Norton
McKnight.
Helen Papciak's ability behind the
steering wheel to Russell Henry.
To Warren Rhoades, Willard Mit-
man's pep.
George Shelly's taste for bright
colors to "Bill" Wagner.
Virginia Hinkel's aeronautical de-
sires to Grace Johnson.
Wilson Hillpot's redundant nick-
names to Charles Smith.
Norma Detweiler's wittiness to
Betty Smell.
Bill Edge's oratorical ability to
David Weamer.
Dorothy Dorney's basketball abil-
ity to Ida Jean Fluck.
Claude Zetty's dreamy eyes to
Raymond Heller.
Betty Lou Keller's perfect attend-
ance record to Elaine Horne.
fl r 1 e n e Reinhart's spontaneous
blush to Ethel Levy.
Jim Loughridge's hair style to
Byron Somers.
Jane Krause's command of the
vocabulary to Naomi Schantz.
Jeannette Savitz's unerring ability
at the typewriter to her sister, Made-
line.
We hereby nominate and appoint
Miss Zena Platoff to be executor of
this will.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, we have
hereunto set our hand this eleventh
day of March, in the year nineteen
hundred and forty-one.
So B. It. (L. S.)

THE OLD, OLD STORY
"School days, school days” was the chant with which we students, (157 of us),
greeted the September of 1937 and the provoking term "Freshies." But "Freshies" we
were, and it looked as if we had to take it (in campaign defeats)—and like it (be-
cause of our unfortunate status in the eyes of the seniors). We did, however, ex-
perience one thrilling event when the whole troop of us clambered aboard several
busses and craned our necks for the rest of the day at queer relics of history and
marvels of science at the Franklin Institute in old Philadelphia. We still dream of
those mummies, sometimes, but we would rather think of the bus loads of fun we
had. We rounded out the school year by lending some of our classmembers for the
operetta, "The Beaver Trail."
In '38 the bells rang once again, and we looked forward to the day when our
class rings would come by parcel and be doled out to us. The year that we were
sophomores found some of us assuming a defeatest attitude, for we lost every ticket
campaign. Luckily, the attitude of the class was tuned up when we reviewed the
year's program and discovered that our class was vital and important to the sports
and scholastic programs of the school. The operetta, "The Slip of the Slipper," di-
rected by Mr. Lowell M. Boorse, called some of our classmates to its support. And
then, when we were invited to the Junior-Senior prom, we felt all the more important
because we had the pleasure of looking forward to the day when we would be
juniors—almost seniors, imagine!
Whether we realized in all the rush of plays, sports and campaigns that we
were juniors is doubtful. For we really began to set things off with a flourish when
we elected our class officers and class adviser. The r e s u 11 s of the elections were
very encouraging, for we had as president, Richard Strunk; vice-president, Claude
Zetty; secretary, Norma Detweiler; treasurer, Betty Lou Keller; and the faculty ad-
viser, Miss Doris Drake. Nor forgetting the class flower, colors and motto, we decked
ourselves proudly with the rose as the flower; maroon, blue and white as the
colors; and "Schooling May End, but Learning Never" as our motto. Then things
really began socially with a "doggie" roast at Camp Quabosco. After a fireside
meal, we did some dancing and game playing in the main hall. We had some swell
fun—even if the phonograph didn't work.
Page thirty-seven
THE OLD, OLD STORY (Continued)
That roast drew the class together and with a spirit of cooperation we took the
basketball campaign. Our next enterprize on the horizon was looming before us, and
it had started to approach us before we realized the importance of producing a suc-
cessful play. Although the responsibility was new to us, we did produce a play—
"June Mad"—directed by Miss Mary Stever. The ticket sales were record break-
ing for all junior classes; and on February 12, 13 and 15, the cast emoted before
crowded houses. We wound up that year by sending the senior class off to Wash-
ington and by preparing for our own prom. With an air of the circus and laughter,
we ended our school year of 1939-1940.
Upon entering the school building in the fall of 1940, we couldn't help but feel
that a grand finale was approaching—graduation! However several preliminaries
were in order. First, we elected a new faculty adviser—due to the resignation of
Miss Drake—Miss Zena Platoff. Then, we again chose officers. This time the presi-
dent was William Edge; vice-president, Claude Zetty; secretary, Norma Detweiler;
and treasurer, Jeannette Savitz. The next memorable occasion was the "doggie"
roast—accompanied by music (orchestra, if you please!) and laughter. It was
through some realization of the fact that our treasury would have to be swelled to
$2,500 that we won the football campaign and, a few weeks later, shattered all
ticket sales records by selling for the play, "Youth Takes Over." Three swarming
houses couldn't be wrong—the play was a success. This was in November. In De-
cember we chose our name cards, commencement invitations, Washington trip
roommates and chaperones. Then the "Recall" started to swing in a big way and
we were rushing to produce the best yearbook ever.
fit last, May,—and Washington—we were all eyes, ears and gaiety. The trip
was wonderful! Upon our arrival home, we received our "Recall s" and held our
breath for graduation. But first were final exams and—well, that's all there is.
Commencement was here and over before we realized it. With our "sheepskins"
framed at home, and our heads full of dreams for the future, we danced ourselves
"dead" at the prom.
Our history is not ended, but from here on the history becomes personal—an
individual responsibility. May all our life histories be as worthwhile as our class
history.

THE CRYSTAL BALL OF LIFE
Bang! Crackers on the right of me! Crackers on the left of me! It was the
Fourth of July. In such an atmosphere I made my appearance into this world. In
contrast to the confusion outside, a state of calm was maintained inside by the at-
tending nurse, Doris Fischer. But this calm couldn't last forever, for I had to go
home to the ranch. This feat was accomplished in a rickety truck driven by our cow-
hand, "Charlie'' Beck. I don’t know how I survived this trip, crowded by my eigh*
doting brothers and sisters.
"Al" Galluppi would take me with him when he went to the post office for the
mail where we would "chaw and chat" with Ralph Rothrock, a local postmaster of
our community. On these weekly trips, Mrs. Melvin Bauman, the foreman's wife,
would give us a list of the weekly necessities. Across the street from the post office
could be seen the Egner and Henderson General Store, where we used to trade our
butchered meats for staples Incidentally, Richard Stoneback was the butcher. We
had to make appointments for the madam at the Bealer Beauty Salon.
I remember one week in particular; it was the week I started school. It seemed
that everything went wrong. First, one of my brothers backed the tractor into the
smoke house. We had to call Granville Cressman, the bricklayer, to repair the dam-
age. The tractor was a wreck, even our best auto mechanic, Robert Stoneback
couldn't fix it. That week the place was flooded with salesmen—"Kenny" Detweiler,
Eugene Atkinson and Joe Scheetz. Even Wilson Hillpot tried to sell us another
tractor. We finally bought one from John Wishart.
My first day at school was eventful. I spent all day giving our teacher, Arlene
Reinhart, "the once over." She retaliated by giving me the "once over her knee."
Later I heard her telling my music teacher, Miss Cassel, that I was very amiable.
I didn't know what that meant, but I remembered it. W h e n I was old enough to
know how to look up words in Krause's Dictionary, I discovered that it meant
"friendly or pleasant " And so it was! I never failed to be pleasant to everyone I
met. Even against our hardest rivals on the football gridiron, I could not really be-
come "burned up" at some foul play; and Coach Faylor commended me for it.
My desires had always been to go to college and train myself to become a
news commentator. I never said a word to the folks, for I knew that my going to
college could not easily be financed. But one day while William Beck and I were
plowing, a car with the hum of a Lowman motor, came down the road. The man in
the car stepped out and introduced himself as William Edge, a prominent lawyer
from the East. He asked me where he could find a place to stay for a few weeks'
vacation. Not thinking before I spoke, I told him that he could stay with us. He
seemed pleased; I took his bags and we went to the ranch house.
This, although I didn't know it at the time, was how I earned money to go to
college. After William Edge left, he wrote me and told me over and over again how
much he had enjoyed those three weeks. Thinking this over I decided that other
people would also enjoy vacationing on a ranch; so after hashing it over with Dad,
we decided to turn ours into a dude ranch.
It wasn't long before there were quite a few vacationers at our ranch. Among
the first to come were Ruth Mindler, Lawyer Edge's private secretary; Pauline
Moyer, who was a bookkeeper for a large construction company; Lois Snyder, a
home economics teacher from a private girls' school in the East; Betty Newhard, ex-
ecutive officer of Saks Fifth Avenue; and her efficient secretary, Esther Thomas.
I was greatly rewarded for all the hard work that I had done during the sum-
mer, for early in September Dad told me to pack my things—I was going to college.
The following week was a busy one for me. I had to send in my application to
George Shelly, who was the Dean of Boys, at Whi-Lurn-Less University and go to the
city to buy some clothes so that I might be presentable for college. Incidentally, Gene
Wilcox was the successful, local tailor. My limited amount of money had to be care-
fully budgeted. I received invaluable aid from Jim Loughridge, who was a promi-
nent citizen in our town and everybody's bookkeeper.
Finishing all these things within a week, I took a week's vacation before head-
ing East to college.
I arrived at Whi-Lurn-Less University after spending my vacation at a shore
resort where I met Frank Egner, a famous orchestra leader, who was playing at
Page thirty-nine
THE CRYSTAL BALL OF LIFE (Continued)
the hotel at which I stayed. Harry Hinkle, the hotel manager, introduced me to
both Frank and his vocalist, Grace Wieand.
My first week at the university was a busy one. First I got settled in a very com-
fortable dormitory room; then I bought my books; finally I looked for a part-time job
to keep me busy in the afternoons and evenings. This feat was soon accomplished,
for within the next week I was working as a soda jerker in "Dick" Newhard's Phar-
macy. University life was interesting, but I do believe that my part-time job was
equally so.
Since my ambition was to write, I found that my job gave me as much help
as did my studies; for I met so many different people from all walks of life. Among
them were Olive Hillegass, one of the tiniest telephone operators that I have ever
seen; Sarah Kepner, an illustrator for a well-known fashion magazine; Helen Schroy,
a voice teacher; Eleanor Davidson, a nurse at the City Hospital; Clair Gross, an Army
Officer; William Williams, an electrician; and Stewart Lewis, a taxi driver. Every
day I looked forward to their arrival. (
Another famous gathering place was Fluck's Campus Diner. Some of the most
frequent visitors there were Grace Neuman, a student of hairdressing; Eleanor Tar-
antino, a student nurse; Walter Landis of the school of agriculture; Terence Faul, a
student of engineering; and John Gross, a student of drafting. The school nurse,
Margaret Gehman, was kept busy administering relief to our many aches and pains.
Throughout my four years of college training, I had to listen to many lectures—
some interesting, others boring. I think that the most interesting lecture was given
by Mertens Weyland, a prominent business executive His very informative lecture
was replete with many interesting facts. My best friend through my joys and trials
was the Dean's secretary, Miss Jeannette Savitz. She often told me of amusing in-
cidents which confronted her and the office staff, including Dorothy Meyers, typist;
Helen Pancygrau, Dorothy Souder, Betty Wolfinger, and Edna Watratz, stenogra-
phers. (
One of the best liked personages at college was Melvin Schissler, our journal-
ism professor.
Four years of college life soon passed. Since I was an honor student, I was
chosen to speak at the commencement program. I am certain that I would never
have been able to make so fine a speech without the help of Regina Janeszeski, the
college librarian.
Now that my college days were over, I went home for the summer to help Dad
with the work at the dude ranch. I got home only a few days before the first "dudes"
arrived, these being Dorothy Dorney, hair stylist from Hollywood; and her friend,
Helen Papciak, head dress-designer for a large studio in Hollywood.
The other visitors at the ranch that summer were Betty Lou Keller, private sec-
retary to Robert Huff, a commercial artist for the Saturday Evening Post; Laquita
Hoffman, social secretary to a wealthy dowager; Leo Colodonato, prominent drafts-
man from Chicago; and Rachel Willauer, concert pianist.
The next summer I went East to look for a job. Journalism was the field in which
I was most interested and best prepared. I went from one newspaper office to an-
other. Finally I “landed" a job as a sports writer. Although this wasn't exactly what
I wanted, I had to eat and eat I did. Almost every night on my way home from work,
I stopped at "Joe" Hillegas's Lunch Wagon.
One Thursday night I saw an article in Charlie Schroy's Daily Telegram an-
nouncing that a contest was to be held at the studio to select the best voice for a
news commentator. I decided to try for it. I put in my application, written on Krigor's
stationery.
I arrived at the studio and was ushered into the Schwager sound-proof broad-
casting booth by Lester Miller, the doorman. Nervously I awaited my cue; but when
I saw the sea of friendly faces before me my courage returned and I spoke with the
eloquence and ease of an experienced commentator. Perhaps the presence of Rob-
ert Gulden, the local announcer, gave me the assurance that I needed.
To my surprise I won; immediately the offers for jobs poured in. I accepted one
with the Wonsidler Brothers as a foreign correspondent on their Trumbauersville
Page forty
THE CRYSTAL BALL OF LIFE (Continued)
Star. I took it because the Richlandtown Sun owned by Charles Benner didn't offer
so much opportunity for advancement.
After receiving my assignment, I hastily embarked for Europe on the S. S. Mit-
man. One of my first sights on board ship was watching the captain, Walter Egner,
and his crew which included Ira Swartz, the first mate, and Marvin Refsnider, the
second mate, observing the sextant. I also found out that the person who was in
charge in planning our menus was none other than Charles Haines.
We were about to sail, so I stood on deck watching the Statue of Liberty dis-
appear in the distance. Whom should I see standing along the rail? None other
than Miriam Cressman, prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, accom-
panied by her secretary, Carrie Stauffer; Betty Roth, her hairdresser; and her hat
designer, Joyce Shup. After paying respects to my old classmates, I went to the
ship's library to "mosey" about to look for something new. There I found the book,
"Women as Salesmen," a collaboration by Gladys Bitner and Anna Long. As I lay
reading in my stateroom, I heard the champion typists, Ethelyn Rupert and Helen
Underkoffler, practicing in the next room.
All went well, however I awoke on the third day feeling somewhat ill—seasick.
The steward, Lester Ackerman, summoned Robert Neubert who brought me an ice-
pack. Edith Allem played a few pieces on the piano and then I felt much better, but
I was careful about my diet for the rest of the trip.
In Liverpool I went to Margaret High's Dress Shop to buy a dress for my mother.
I peeped into her private office and saw her secretary, Betty Landis, and her stenog-
rapher, Norma Detweiler. Ethel Schmell was busy helping the models.
Leaving there I went to my office where my staff welcomed me warmly. My
typist, Ruth Clemmer, my stenographer, Josephine Fedorowicz, and Lena Schultz,
my secretary, were all wonderful to me.
From my floor I could see the telephone exchange next door. There I saw Rita
Miller, Clara Buchecker, Lynette Heavener, and Crystal Henry busy keeping in touch
with bombed areas.
The first night there I was startled, for at 9 o'clock, as I sat in my hotel room, all
the lights went out. I called for the electrician, Warren Neubert, who told me that
it was a blackout. I heard the bombers roaring overhead; and, as bombs dropped
near us, I rushed into the hotel's private bomb shelter.
When the raid was over, and we came out, I saw Ernest Keck helping fight fires
and repair broken machinery. I also saw Pauline Crouthamel, Willard Kurtz, and
William McNair working in a factory making various war supplies. The agonizing
look on Richard Strunk and nurse, Virginia Scheetz, as they were kept busy at the
morgue near by, made me feel even more the horror of war.
One of my office staff was injured in a raid; and upon arrival at his bedside, I
saw Dr. Claude Zetty, the great bacteriologist, at work with his secretary, Marion
Hunsberger. <
I left the hospital and walked to the airport to see if there was any news to send
across. There I met the great flying team of Roy Hinkle, gunner; and Harold Huns-
beiger, pilot. They were credited with having shot down the greatest number of
enemy planes.
On the way back to my office I saw a large supply plane engaged in a battle
with an enemy plane. The enemy plane was shot down by one of our pursuit
planes, but the supply plane was still in trouble. I saw the pilot bail out and land
near us. We went quickly to his aid. Upon reaching the pilot, I saw that it was Vir-
ginia Hinkel, a great non-combat pilot.
After leaving her, I continued on my way to the office but to my great astonish-
ment I found that in the short time that I had been gone, my office had been com-
pletely destroyed. Immediately I engaged William Samph and William Becker to
supervise its reconstruction.
Four years later I was called home to be a guest speaker at the fiftieth annual
Columbia Scholastic Press Association. I was happy to accept just to get away from
it all; but I knew that I would soon yearn to get back again to my work as foreign
correspondent.

“YOUTH TAKES OVER"
An even greater success than "June
Mad'' was the senior play, "Youth Takes
Over." Again we broke a record with our
presentation of November 4, 5 and 7. The
senior play ticket sales record had been
set by the class of '38, with their produc-
tion, "Daddy Long Legs." By raising this
record of 1729 to 1831 tickets sold, a new
goal was reached by the class of '41.
"Youth Takes Over" concerns the school
life of Albert Williams and his friends.
Albert is a mischievous boy, so mischiev-
ous, in fact, that the teachers and the
principal are inclined to punish him for
every misdemeanor that is committed at
the school. (He was usually the guilty
one.)
With the arrival of Dr. Pierson things
changed for the better for Albert. Through
him Albert is given the chance to prove
himself, which he does admirably. Though
Pop, the janitor, Mrs. Rathbone and Dr.
Pierson have some anxious moments,
everything turns for the better. Finally,
Albert is looked upon—not with suspicion
—but with respect.
We feel that the success of our junior
play helped swell our senior play ticket
sales. For this we owe a debt of gratitude
to Miss Mary Stever, our competent di-
rector of both plays.
“JUNE MAD“
Our junior play, "June Mad," was pre-
sented on February 12, 13 and 15. The
cast, with the help of Miss Mary Stever,
its capable director, gave a memorable
performance.
The success of the play was one of the
really great achievements of the junior
class. Then juniors, we surprised every-
one, including ourselves, by coming
through in the last stages of the campaign
and breaking the record for junior play
ticket sales. The record had been estab-
lished at 1563 tickets. We sold 1629 tickets
clearing $746.70.
"June Mad" is a domestic comedy. It
deals with the life and problems of the
Wood family. Penny, a girl of fifteen, is in
the midst of the conflicting emotions and
bewildering problems of adolescence. One
of these problems is her neighbor, Chuck
Harris, plus his glider, his father's pet
hate.
Believing herself to be in love with
Roger Van Vleck, Mervyn's college friend,
Penny is broken-hearted when she dis-
covers that Roger is merely playing with
her affections—his real goal being that
of winning Julie Harris from Mervyn.
Everyone in the audience could pick
himself out of the "everyday life" charact-
ers in the play and could remember some
little problem of Penny's or Chuck's that
he might have experienced himself.
The b e w i 1 d e r m e n t of Dr. Wood at
Penny's strange actions and the under-
standing of Mrs. Wood made this one of
the most sympathetic, real-life comedies
ever presented at Q. H. S.
Page forty-three
AND FOLLOWING US UP . . .
This chronicle needs begin with the
most eventful happening of our fresh-
man year. So let's begin.
On a clear Saturday in April, we
climbed aboard four busses to visit
Franklin Institute and the Museum of
Natural History in Philadelphia. This
trip was planned and chaperoned by
Mr. Warren Buck, our science teacher.
After wandering around, pushing but-
tons to start experiments, peering into
airplanes, train engines and other
things, we visited the Fels planetarium
where we "took a t r i p to the moon."
After further examination of the Insti-
tute's numerous treasures of science, we
left for home—tired but happy.
Luckily, as well as happily, we won
the baseball ticket-selling campaign in
our freshman year. The profits from this
campaign formed the nucleus of our
present Washington trip fund.
We were not, however, so fortunate
in our sophomore year, for we did not
win any of the campaigns.
Since our social events as sopho-
mores were rather limited, we were de-
lighted with our invitations to the junior
prom.
Our junior year commenced with the
election of class officers. The results
were as follows: Ernest Kachline, presi-
dent; Jesse Smith, vice-president; Betty
Long, secretary; and Kathryn Reese,
treasurer.
After several class meetings, we
finally decided on burgundy and tan as
our class colors; and for the class flower,
the gardenia received the highest vote.
"The Path of Life is Lit by the Lamp of
Education" was chosen as our class
motto.
Mr. Richard Strayer kindly accepted
the position as class adviser.
Hot dogs and soft drinks were con-
sumed by a large majority of the class
on a clear fall evening at Camp Qua-
bosco. After the roast, around a fasci-
nating bonfire, we spent the evening
indoors playing games and dancing.
This was the junior "d o g g i e" roast
which helped the members of the class
become better acquainted with each
other.
After a hard fight with the seniors
during the basketball ticket-selling cam-
paign, we managed to secure a slight
lead which, as a result, increased our
treasury by the profit received from the
sale of candy.
Play tryoutsl This announcement
echoed through the class as we pre-
pared for the biggest event in our junior
year. After reading numerous plays,
the committee, including Miss Martha
Moyer, selected "Fly Away Home," a
three act comedy by Dorothy Bennett
and Irving White. This play, presented
on February 10, 11 and 13, was well re-
ceived by the public and ably directed
by Miss Moyer. Although we were a
very few tickets short of the junior ticket
sales record, our play was a financial
success and our treasury was greatly
swelled.
During our years in high school we
were very proud to have a large repre-
sentation of our classmates in sports,
the orchestra, the band and other num-
erous school activities.
Satisfied with our accomplishments,
yet realizing the great amount of work
ahead of us, we ended our year with
the senior send-off and farewell prom.

THEY LAY DOWN THE LAW
R core of the student body, an organization
of vital importance, is the Student Council. Com-
posed of representatives which are elected twice
a year from each homeroom, this organization
formulates certain disciplinary laws for the stu-
dents. Beside carrying out these laws, a com-
mittee, appointed by the president, selects per-
sonalities who are to appear on the special
assembly programs. Motion pictures which are
presented during assembly programs are also
selected by the Student Council.
The purchase of a nevz motion picture screen,
made possible by the funds raised on motion
pictures, was undertaken and will be carried
through by next year’s Council.
R vast project, which called for a great deal
of work, was successfully carried through by this
year's body: that of producing and distributing
a printed handbook. The first Q. H. S. handbook
was compiled, mimeographed and. distributed in
the spring of 1939. By revising, revzriting and
reediting this book, the Student Council pro-
duced an up-to-date, printed handbook, of which
we are quite proud.
The following seniors were members of the
Student Council for the school year, 1940-1941:
Frank Egner, Margaret Gehman, Robert Gulden,
Marion Hunsberger, Richard Newhard and
Claude Zetty.
ORCHIDS FOR THE QUAKER
CHALLENGE
Have you heard the good news? The "Quaker
Challenge" won a medalist award at the Colum-
bia Scholastic Press Rssociation convention.
This was the highest possible award which any
magazine could receive
We are proud to say that the "Quaker Chal-
lenge" is written, edited, mimeographed and
distributed by the students of Q H. S. under
faculty supervision. Unusual efficiency is se-
cured by having a separate faculty adviser for
each phase of the production of the magazine.
Miss Schermann supervises the writing and
choosing of material, Miss Funk is in charge of
the illustrating; Miss Roth and Mr Waite collab-
orate in the .mimeographing and the final ar-
ranging of the material. Mr. Kilmer is in charge
of sales and distribution.
The "Quaker Challenge" was not intended
to be a newsy magazine. Rather the magazine
shows the different phases of the life of the
school. It contains the creative work of the stu-
dents in art and writing—poems, stories, essays,
the humor of the class room, features pertaining
to the season of the year, the main activities of
the period in brief review, the accomplishments
and whereabouts of the former graduates and a
friendly verbal conversation among our fellow
schools with whom we exchange.
The "Quaker Challenge" was established in
1935. The name was suggested by one of the
students and was selected by vote of the stu-
dent body. The magazine is published four times
yearly Each issue represents some particular
seasonal subject; namely, Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas, Patriotic, and Spring. R yearly subscription
costs twenty-five cents, while a single copy sells
for eight cents.
The fine enthusiasm and the desire to work
for the betterment of the "Quaker Challenge"
shows the worthwhileness of this school activity.
THEY COMBED THE SCHOOL FOR
NEWS
It's Thursday! This is the day vze all get the
Free Press to read the news of the town and the
school We have available in the Free Press a
block in which we can include approximately
2,000 words of information pertaining exclusively

The Q. H. S News staff is a school organiza-
tion established foi the purpose of informing the
people of the community concerning the stu-
dents in their various activities of the school.
The following activities are covered by the mem-
bers of the Q. H S. News staff: the production
of plays, the activities of the student council, tho
accomplishments of the F. F. R., the F. C. R., the
Peirce spelling team, the debating team, the
school publications, the results of the athletic

SPECIALISTS OF THE WORDS
Nice weather and everything that goes with
it—and with it the championship of the state,
which was a fourth place in the annual Peirce
Spelling contest. The group who went to the
Peirce School in Philadelphia on March 15 in-
cluded: its five team members—Jane Krause,
captain; Arlene Reinhart, Mildred Meyers, Doris
Cope and Mertens Weyland; its two alternates—
Dorothy Meyers and Ruth Lambert; and the ad-
viser, Mr. Floyd Kilmer.
fit the contest, a preliminary, qualifying test
of fifty words was given to each contestant (five
on each team). Quakertown merited a fourth-
place rating in this event The ten teams which
ranked highest in this qualifying test partici-
pated in an oral team spelling contest after
lunch. Again Quakertown was in fourth place
at the end of this match. The winning school
was Tuckerton High School, New Jersey Runner-
up was Toms River High School, New Jersey.
Special recognition should be given to Arlene
Reinhart, who had a perfect paper in the quali-
fying test and to Jane Krause who remained the
last speller from Pennsylvania, fourth in the con-
test.
The team is being reorganized at the present
time and will soon begin, in earnest, to train
for the next contest.
MR. CHAIRMAN, HONORABLE JUDGES, WORTHY OPPONENTS—

schools. 150 debaters, and 75 judges participated.
Each team, two from each school, was given
five debates of one hour and ten minutes
duration. To qualify for the finals, a school
had to win seven of its ten debates. Q H. S
won nine; the affirmative won all five of its
debates; the negative, four. Although neither
team was able to win in the finals, Q. H S.
placed third. This was a successful conclusion
for the debating team.
THEY SUPPLY THE SURPRISES
Entertainment for the entire student body is
the main objective of the Literary Society. Four
programs, commemorating Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas, Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays and
Easter are presented each year. Faculty mem-
bers select and supervise the programs, but stu-
dents are in charge of production.
The officers for this society are elected by
the student body; for this year they were Ira
Swartz, president; Willard Mitman, vice-presi-
dent; Jeannette Savitz, treasurer; and Norma
Detweiler, secretary.
On November 27, 1940, the first, the Thanks-
giving Day program, was presented as follows:
Governor's Proclamation; Blab; Monologue—"The
Waitress"; Selections by the Brass Quartet; Tap
dance; Play—"Enter Dora, Exit Dad"; and a rous-
ing pep meeting for the Thanksgiving Day game.
The second program was held on December
24, as follows Harp solo; Reading; Brass Quar-
tet; Poem; Blab; Assembly singing; and the Can-
tata
The Patriotic program of February 21, in-
cluded: Play by the Dramatic Club; Historical
quiz, Peirce team exhibiting their spelling tal-
ents; Selections by the Q. H. S Dance Orches-
tra, Blab; and an impressive patriotic ending.
The last program, Easter, was held on April
10. The program presented included selections
by the Brass Quartet; Play—"A Lad 'n' His
Lamp"; Selections by the mixed chorus; Blab;
Harp selections; and an amateur hour.
And so the Literary Society rounded out an-
other joyous year of entertainment—entertain-
ment by homespun talent presented in a home-
spun way . . . That was Literary—for every-
body's pleasure.

"YOKEL-BOYS" MAKE GOOD
The oftseen initials, F. F. fl., stand for the Future Farmers of America
organization Since 1938 this club, in its bee-hive-like activity, has taken
prizes in every contest in which it has entered.
In the State Farm Show the club distinguished itself by winning a sec-
ond-place prize in a contest which involved state-wide competition.
The F F. fl. club sponsors an annual Father and Son Banquet which,
since started three years ago, has been a big item in the school’s social
calendar.
Club meetings are held once a month when business is transacted and
social games are enjoyed, fls far as athletics are concerned, the F. F. fl. has
a basketball team that competes with other teams.
It is with great pride that the F. F fl can recount the details of its success
and strides in its field.
HOME ECONOMICS GIRLS COOKED THINGS UP
The Vocational Home Economics department takes a most active part in
our school’s curriculum.
During the school year, 1940-1941, the department aided the office in many
ways by making drapes and curtaims for the class plays, stage settings, and
by preparing and serving dinners t® several school organizations. The mem-
bers also assisted the Kiwanis Club of Qqpkertown in the benevolent work
of repairing toys for the needy during the Christmas season and in the dying
of eggs for the Easter-egg-hunt.
Each year the department sets before its members a theme. This year's
theme was "Leisure Time Activities." By carrying out this project, the girls
learn to do things which should make their leisure time more enjoyable and
profitable.
Within the department is an organization which meets once a month.
Two seniors, Ethel Schmell and Dorothy Dorney, hold the offices of presi-
dent and vice-president, respectively
THEY ARE SKILLFUL WITH THEIR HANDS
The club of the Vocational courses—Woodworking, Metalworking and
Drafting—is the F. C. fl.—Future Craftsmen of America.
Active throughout the school year, the club undertakes many projects
and achieves many worthwhile goals, fit its monthly meetings the club pro-
vides a social period, after the business session, which adds to the life of the
vocational department.
From the dues collected monthly, the club draws twenty dollars which
is used to purchase the awards that are presented to the three outstanding
seniors who graduate from the three member courses.
Another of its activities is the participation in the State Convention each
spring. The highlighting event, however, is the Father and Son Banquet
which has become a tradition since the year of the club's conception in 1938.
The F. C. fl.'s officers are so chosen from the various departments each
year that the leadership is well distributed. .
The club wants to acknowledge the notable work which the seniors have
done for the Vocational department.

STRIKE UP THE BAND 1
That music in the distance? No, it's not a circus parade. It is our o w n Q. H. S. band.
The six trumpets, four clarinets, four drums, the flute and the saxophone blend harmoniously
under the expert direction of Mr. Russel Kunkle as they approach, leading a victory parade.
We've won another game and the band, for its cheerful s u p p o r t at all the games, has
helped a great deal and deserves its share of the honors.
We are proud of our band and also of our pert little drum major, "Peggy" Cassel.
We are appreciative of our leader, Mr. Kunkle, who has scored the Alma Mater for the
band so that it can accompany us when we sing our praises of the school.
Yes, we have a fine band and due to the student training course begun this year, we may
expect a still finer one next year.
IT'S TUNE-UP TIME
For superbness of performance the casts of our plays had a close-running second—the
orchestra—which performed between acts. Though he has been here only one year, Mr Rus-
sell Kunkle, has developed a fine orchestra. It consists of six violins, four clarinets, two saxo-
phones, two bass violins, two piano accompanists, four trumpets, one drum and one oboe—
all expertly played.
This fine orchestra made an already interested audience more interested in our school by
playing beautiful selections in a finished manner between the acts of o u r junior and senior
plays.
Our orchestra was also excellent in its accompaniment of the students at the annual Christ-
mas Carol Sing produced and directed by Miss Sara Fisher.
With such a successful band and orchestra added to our many activities, Q H. S. can-
not fail to be a fine, all-around school.
JUST THE RIGHT BLEND
Vocalizing is this activity's specialty. This group is composed of boys and girls from grades
nine to twelve inclusive who qualified in the try-outs. Three mornings a week from 8:15 until
8:45 this group harmonized under Miss Sara Fisher's direction.
The mixed chorus was formed in 1938 by Mr. Lowell Boorse, a former member of our high
school faculty. The group at that time numbered approximately twenty The present enrollment
is fifty members.
In previous years this group was conducted on the basis of an extra-curricular organiza-
tion. This year a new system has been introduced. The mixed chorus is now included on the
elective blanks; thus members are given one-quarter credit for their participation.
Among the many calls for this musical group were performances at the annual Christmas
Cantata, at the County Music Festival at Willow Grove in May, on numerous occasions in as-
sembly and on Literary and Welfare programs.
PICTURES IN REAL LIFE
The photography staff of Q. H. S. consists of its very efficient instructor, Mr Warren Buck,
and the following students: Raymond Roeder, Jesse Smith, Earl Koehler, Russel Benner, Richard
Shaw and Kenneth Cressman. This club is organized to give the students the basic principles
of photography.
This staff is not to be mistaken for one of our Friday afternoon clubs, because in this staff,
through the successful completion of a certain number of tests on important parts of photo-
graphy, by attending a fixed percentage of the club meetings, by producing twenty-five
pictures of fifteen different subjects which have been developed and printed by the student,
and by printing and enlarging wet negatives, the student may earn a "Q" in photography.
The photography club goes on camera trips to take pictures of a variety of subjects: land-
scapes, picturesque waterfalls, old buildings and many other subjects. All these pictures are
taken under the helpful suggestions of Mr. Buck.
The club has its meeting after school every Tuesday. At this meeting the members discuss
the business at hand and plan the camera trips. Mr. Buck usually gives an interesting lecture
on some phase of photography at these meetings.
At 7:30 p. m., Tuesday evenings, the members meet again for actual experiences in al-
most every type of photography.

INDULGING IN FAVORITE HOBBIES
Friday—3 o'clock—club periodsl We're peep-
ing in on the Q. H. S. clubs today. Want to go
along?
As we stroll down the corridor, we can hear
the peppy music of the Dance Orchestra supply-
ing the necessary rhythm for the Dance Club
Keeping time to their beats is the bouncing of
the ping-pong balls in the hall, while the work-
ers of the Hooked Rug and Leather Craft Clubs
work nimbly to their tunes
The constant humming of the sewing ma-
chines in the Home Economics Club and the
chatter of the Dramatic Club students serve the
rhythm for the upstairs corridor In contrast to
these noises, the Etiquette and Stamp Clubs
practice a "silence is golden" program.
In the upstairs corridor another of our senses
is aroused; for we have aromas — unpleasant
from the Chemistry Club but pleasant from the
Sub-Deb Club for they are having a taffy pull.
In the Lincoln Building we find the hard
workers in the typing room students are strug-
gling desperately to strike the right keys, in the
metal shop students are molding various metals
on the lathes; in the woodshop model airplanes
are being built. In the hall we see the muscular
boys of Q. H. S. engaging in an earnest wrest-
ling match.
We go across the walks and approach the
Central Building where we find a group of stu-
dents playing a game of billiards. Upstairs the
members of the Crafts Club are busily making
handcarved pins and bracelets, while in the
great beyond, the attic, we find the members of
the Rifle Club consistently hitting their marks.
In order to spy on other clubs, we shall have
to visit different spots in the community. While
going between buildings, we may see the mem-
bers of the Photography Club taking pictures of
the numerous activities; leaving the rear, south
door, we see the Boys' and Girls' Hiking Clubs
starting on their jaunts; the members of the
Sports Club may be found practically anywhere
indulging in the various sports. Accompanying
the hikers up to the school farm, we see the
"farmers" working the good old terra firma with
an enormous tractor. On our way to the Moose
Hall, to watch some future Don Budges and Alice
Marbles hitting their tennis balls around, we can
see through the archway of the Bush House,
whizzing arrows striking their highly colored
targets. The "Indians" behind these bows are
members of the Archery Club. On our walk back
to the school we pass speeding 'cyclists on their
shining two wheelers—members of the Bicycle
Club.
All too quickly our club hour is over.

LOCAL TEAM GIVES SPRINGFIELD ITS ONLY DEFEAT
The Quakers, coached by Mr. John Knoll and Mr. Theodore Purnell, opened the 1940 foot-
ball season by going to East Greenville High and battling to a 6-6 tie.
In their first league tilt, the local Blue and White bowed in defeat to a strong Lansdale
eleven by a 19-6 CQufit.
The Souderton Redskins proved to be the first victim for the Quakers, as they went home
on the short end of a 25-0 score.
Our boys next met Ambler, co-champions for 1939 and, incidentally, co-champions for
1940. In this game lack of reserve material proved a serious handicap to Coach Knoll's scrappy
Quakers, and at the end of the game the score read 26-7 in favor of the Gold and Black of
Ambler.
Doylestown, on their home grid, after a bitter battle, handed the Quakers a 13-7 setback.
On the following Saturday afternoon the "surprise victory" of the season took place on the
Alumni Field, Quakertown, as the Quakers handed the Springfield (Montco) eleven, who
were previously unbeaten, a stinging 20-14 defeat.
The Quakers then traveled to Hatboro and returned home with a 20-0 victory.
On a muddy field the Quakers battled the Jenkintown Drakes to a scoreless tie in a very
bitterly fought game.
The big game of the season was held on Thanksgiving Day morning when the Sell-Perk
eleven, the Quakers' ancient rivals, came to town and on a snow-covered gridiron lost by a
7-0 score to the "Little Quakers."
BASKETEERS END SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The basketeers of Coach Barth ended the past basketball campaign with a record of ten
wins against six defeats, giving them fourth place in the final league standing.
During the Quakers'sixteen-game league schedule, Coach Barth's lads tallied 211 field
goals and netted 109 foul shots for a total of 531 points, an average of thirty-three ducats
per game.
Looking on the defensive side for a moment, we see that the Quakers allowed their op-
ponents a total of 399 points for an average of twenty-five per tilt.
In foul shooting, Captain elect, Ernie Kachline, topped the locals by making good on
fifteen of the twenty-two free throws awarded him, for a "batting average" of .682.
Willard Hager and Bryan Fluck will serve as managers, the latter acting as assistant.
The following boys have participated in their last basketball game as far as high school
playing is concerned: Captain Ira Swartz, Charles Schroy, Robert Crosbie, Ernest Keck, Wil-
liam Becker and Alan Fluck.
ALONG THE CINDER PATHS WITH THE CLASS OF 1941
The class of 1941 was well represented in track during the past several years, for several
boys made fine showings in the track and field events.
Outstanding among the "tracksters" for the last two seasons was Ira "Bud" Swartz, who
set a new school record for the half-mile run. His best time was 2:03, this being made at the
district meet held at the University of Pennsylvania. If "Bud" continues his fine work in track,
a great deal should be heard about him in the future. He has also broken other records on vari-
ous other tracks.
Another boy who did fine work was Melvin Schissler, who participated in the mile run.
Members of the class of '41 who at one time or another did some track work in their high school
career include the following: William Becker, Clair Gross, Robert Gulden, William McNair,
Mertens Weyland, Enos Wonsidler, Joseph Hillegas, and James Loughridge.
Page fifty-nine
ALONG THE DIAMOND
Coach Barth had seven lettermen returning from last year's squad, forming a nucleus for
his 1941 baseball team. The boys had a rather dismal season last year for they won only one
of their ten league games. However, with a large group of experienced players returning, the
outlook for a fairly successful season seems to be rather bright.
The following boys will be playing their last season for the "Blue and White": Ernest
Keck, Albert Galluppi, Warren Neubert, Charles Benner, Charles Schroy, Leo Colodonato and
Robert Crosbie.
The complete schedule for the 1941 season is listed as follows:
Tuesday, April 15 Souderton Away
Thursday, April 17 Ambler Away
Monday, April 21 Hatboro Home

WRESTLING NOW PART OF ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Last year, wrestling was added to the athletic program of our school. Since this was a new
sport in this locality, no matches were scheduled. Coach Knoll spent the first year in teaching
his proteges the rules and various holds
The first meet ever to be held among the schools of the Bux-Mont League was held this
year between the "grapplers" of Quakertown and Lansdale. The result of this meet was a
23-15 victory for the Quakers. In a return meet the outcome was reversed, and the Quakers
came out on the short end of a 23-15 count.
The seniors on the squad were Willard Kurtz, Lester Miller and Eugene Atkinson. These
boys received letters for their achievements on the mat for two years of active participation.
Willard Kurtz, in the two meets against Lansdale, was the only senior to remain un-
defeated.
OUR SHARPSHOOTERS SHOOT STRAIGHT
The rifle team is an outgrowth of the Rifle Club and had its development during the school
year of 1939-40.
The rifle team is selected from members of the Rifle Club who survive the competitive
shooting for team membership.
There are usually fifteen students selected to form a rifle squad, with ten of these fifteen
riflemen representing the school during a match.
Since the development of the rifle team, numerous schools have been engaged in matches,
including Doylestown and West Catholic High Schools.
In order to expand the activities of the rifle team, efforts are being made at the present time
to secure membership in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Interscholastic Rifle Association com-
posed of teams from Philadelphia and surrounding counties. The progress that has been made
is due not alone to the interest of team members but also to the equipment and rifle range. This
range is undoubtedly one of the finest in the state.

THE FLASHING BLUE AND WHITE LASSIES
Against their first contenders, the girls' Blue and White basketball team emerged victor-
iously; for Emmaus met defeat by the score of 17-5.
The Quakers scored a second victory at the expense of Hellertown. However, the tide
changed for the "hometowners" when they journeyed to Fountain Hill and were defeated by
a 29-16 score.
Another defeat was handed the "Little Quakers" by Lansdale on December 20. This was
followed by a game with the "twin-towners," Sell-Perk, who also handed our sextet a setback.
Despite all these smashing defeats, the spirit of the Quaker lassies was not crushed; for on
January 24, in the Lansdale game, our Quakers emerged victoriously. The score was 31-12.
After repaying Lansdale with a defeat, the Quakers next challenged the Hatboro sextet for
the second time during the season. Again our "Blue and White" team was victorious; the final
score read 50-14.
The last game of the year was played at Souderton. The Indians won the game by the
close score of 22-19.
The final league standing was as follows:
Sell-Perk
Souderton
Lansdale
Quakertown
Hatboro
THEY'VE HIT UPON SOMETHING
The first game of the 1940 hockey season was played against Doylestown and resulted
in defeat for the Quaker "lassies." Knowing that this was a poor beginning, our "ten" drilled
harder and aroused its spirit. The result was a tie score game with Lansdale the following
week. In the remaining games, however, the girls played harder but scored few victories.
The results of the games were as follows: Q. H. S. Opponents
Doylestown Away 0 4
Lansdale Home 1 1
Souderton Away I 4
Sell-Perk Home 0 4
Doylestown Home 0 5
Lansdale Away 2 4

This was the first year that hockey was put on a four-team home and away schedule.
"PLAY BALL"
Early in April, Miss Afflerbach made a call for baseball candidates. This call was an-
swered by thirty-nine girls. Of this group there were only three seniors: Edna Watratz, Helen
Underkoffler and Lynette Heavener.
The girls' baseball schedule is as follows:
April 17 Springfield Home
April 24 Lansdale Away
May 1 Sell-Perk Home
May 12 Souderton Away
May 22 Lansdale Home
May 29 Sell-Perk Away

SPONSORS OF ATHLETIC ENTHUSIASM
The Varsity Club is composed of girls who have earned their "Q's" in sports. The offi-
cers are Helen Underkoffler, president; Edna Watratz, vice-president; Dorothy Dorney, treas-
urer; Ethel Schmell, secretary.
Although little is heard about the Varsity Club, their services are certainly appreciated
Before being permitted to enter this club, the girls are subjected to a very trying initia-
tion. If, while going through this initiation, the candidates show good sportsmanship, they are
permitted to join the club; however they must first take an oath. The dues of this club, which
includes 35 members, are ten cents per month. The girls hold several socials during the year;
and they are now planning to hold a reunion for all of the members who had ever been mem-
bers of the Varsity Club.
BEHIND THE MEGAPHONE
The second week of school saw the cheerleading practices well under way. Every day
during those first weeks of practice, when weather was favorable, the fifteen prospective
cheerleaders journeyed to the Alumni Field; or in case of bad weather, practice went on as
usual in either the gymnasium or in an available classroom.
Football season cheerleading was quite successful with the semi-weekly practices well
attended. The spirits of the students were enlivened at the football games by Ruth Mindler,
Betty Clark, Dorothy Dorney, Dominic DiValerio, Betty Shelly, Marjorie Shaw and Faye Cly-
mer. At the close of the football season, the squad lost Clark and Dorney—they were members
of the basketball squad.
The basketball season found many junior high students interested in cheering; about
twenty-five appeared for try-outs. Approximately half of this group cheered at the junior
high and intramural games. ;
Of course the cheering squad was the one that helped to raise, by inches, the roof of the
school building on the day before the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. This feat was
easily accomplished to the accompaniment of stunts, yells, songs and speeches.
THE JUNIOR KICK-OFF
When Coach Barth issued the first call for football practice, thirty-five candidates re-
sponded. After winning the first two games, the coach felt that he had material for the best
junior high team ever'produced at Quakertown. But in the third game, two of the boys were
injured. Grant, the Quaker halfback, sustained a broken ankle and Gerhart, the Quaker
guard, had a broken thumb. Furthermore, Coach Barth lost another fine player when Boehr
moved to China with his parents.
The Quakers have made a fine showing with a 600 per cent average. They are also re-
ceiving excellent training in the fundamentals of football..
The following statistics show the fine record set by the Quakertown Junior High School
team:
