Newspaper 16 Jun 2000 I was intrigued by the June 12th article about the 136 Boy Scouts who received their Eagle rank in 1999. That is a significant number when compared with the early days of scouting. I received my Eagle on Nov. 1, 1928. I was told then that I was the third Eagle Scout in Lehigh County. Don Miller, former Morning Call Publisher, was the first. The second, I believe, was a Scout named Gutekunst. Don has passed away and I have no knowledge of Gutekunst. Perhaps this letter will spark someone's memory of him, or of other early Eagles. Hubert H. Bury Allentown the Allentown Morning Call in the Letters to The Editor section

Newspaper 15 Oct 2000e Never Had Much,' One Member Recalls About Leaving School In 1930. by Dan Shope, The Morning Call. Members of the Allen High Class of 1930 said they never had great expectations. In their senior year, they witnessed the stock market crash, the Great Depression and the end of the flapper era. `We called ourselves the 'Depression Class,' ` said Grace Burger Gilbert, 88. `We never had much to begin with. We were just happy to have enough to eat.` Seventy years ago, 432 students received their diplomas from Allentown High School, now Allen High School, which once served the entire city. Today, it splits that duty with Dieruff High School. Twenty-six of the 432 attended the class's 70th reunion Saturday at the Lehigh Country Club. The group, accustomed to facing reality, concluded that another annual party would be too taxing and too expensive. `We are pushing 90, you know,` said Gilbert. `A lot of us are gone. We never charged much for the reunion. We felt guilty coming to a country club, but some of our class were members. This event was only $30.' Within a week of their graduation, Labor Secretary James J. Davis delivered the commencement address at nearby Muhlenberg College as labor leaders in Washington, D.C., demanded action against joblessness and poverty. `Thousands of men were sitting today in public parks throughout the country, muttering at their inability to gain employment,` William Green of the American Federation of Labor told the Associated Press on June 11, 1930. Hubert H. Bury, who went on to graduate from Muhlenberg and become an insurance underwriter for New York Life in the Lehigh Valley, took on the task of organizing the reunion, which has been run annually the last few years. `Nine of our classmates have died since the last reunion,` Bury said. `And we lost one who fell and was unable to come. The numbers are getting smaller and smaller. So we plan to just have informal meetings from now on.` During a speech to the class, Bury, who lettered in diving and was an honors student, recalled some of the less-depressing times for the Class of 1930. `The Earle Theater showed the first talkie in 1927,` he said. `In 1929, John Henry Leh founded the Lehigh Valley International Airport, and the Tilghman Street Bridge was completed. `In 1930, the PP&L Building was opened, Sacred Heart Hospital was built and the Rose Garden was completed.` He noted that there was no urban sprawl in 1930. An aerial view of Allentown, looking west, showed no visible structures past Muhlenberg. But there was urban distress. And perhaps that's why the Class of 1930 produced two of the Lehigh Valley's greatest caregivers -- the Rev. Conrad Raker and Helen Barnes. Raker was superintendent at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Center, which his parents founded in 1908 as a home for orphans. Barnes was a founder of Meals on Wheels in Lehigh County. Raker and his wife, Grace, suffered falls and were unable to attend Saturday's event, Bury said. Barnes was busy helping run the event. `We learned to survive,` said class member Floss Morgan Diefenderfer. `I went to American Business College, where they basically taught us to add and subtract. `I started as a teller at Merchants Bank and worked up to vice president.` Diefenderfer was the first woman vice president there and the first female member of the Allentown-Lehigh County Chamber of Commerce board. Classmate Bob Wolfe went to work for The Morning Call and took part in the coverage of the Hindenberg disaster in Lakehurst, N.J. He said that while he's lost most of his sight, he retains many memories. So does Mildred Siegfried Schadt. Sitting in a wheelchair, she came to the event directly from a nursing home. She distinctly recalled graduation. `Afterward, we went to a ball at the Americus Hotel,` she remembered. `I wore a green dress.' the Allentown Morning Call
