An invisible wall of wild imaginings separated the known from the unknown and people shuddered at the thought of sailing that uncharted main. Then came Columbus with his dauntless courage and unbounded faith. With stan- dards set far and high he scaled the wall and set forth into unknown seas. But courage and perseverance won their reward and today the world honors the name of the Great Navigator. So it is with you, the members of the Class of 1943 and all alumni who are and will be in the Armed Services of our beloved country. You have reached the wall separating life's unknown and uncharted seas. Hitherto you have been guided by fond parents, wise teachers and good friends. Life has been made easy for you. But now life opens up for you with no chart but caution, no guide but conscience. It remains for you to set your standards so high and far that like the Great Navi- gator, you shall at the .end have done that which is greatest in life: Added something to the sum total of the world's security, happiness and knowledge. The l943 Anthem is dedicated to you as a beacon to cheer you along the unknown trail. ln it will be found a wealth of smiles and beau- tiful memories and perhaps just a few tears. Our hopes and prayers go with you. Only if you are willing to give, not only all that you are but also all that you can be, to the service of your fellow-man will you have any right to expect se- curity from society. lt is pure effrontery to ask God or your neighbors for your daily bread if you do not try to deserve ity for, we are taught, 'Unto whomsover much is given, of him shall much be required' O.

ENGLISH The Board of Education is the controlling factor behind the schools. ft is their undertaking to provide a sound basis for a progressive func- tioning system. Theirs is the responsibility of laying the foundation on which each individual student may advance toward a brighter future. Brentwood's three schools, Elroy, Moore and the High School, are the results of a fore- sighted planning. An administration and a faculty of high qualifications and standards are available to the students. The schools theme selves are well equipped with every modern convenience to further the education and cul' ture of their student bodies, This was the goal and now the completed work of the Board of Education. We, as Seniors, feel that we have been guided well and extend our appreciation for work well done. Three years ago in l94O Dr. O. H. English came to Brentwood to serve under this board as Superintendent of the Brentwood Schools. Dr. English came to replace Mr. l. D. Bodyston upon his retirement after many years of suc- cessful administration. Freeport's loss was Brentwood's gain, for Dr. English did not lose a moment in introducing new projects and plans to Brentwood. Under Dr. English's guidance the Brentwood l-ligh School applied for admission and was accepted into the Middle States Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Ad- Anihem-Page 6 mission was dependent upon an evaluation in accordance with the Co-operative Study ot Secondary School Standards. The school re- ceived high ratings on all nine main items: curriculum, pupil activities, library, guidance, inztruction, outcome of the education program, stalt, plant and administration. At the conclu- sion of the third year Brentwood may take pride in the progress ot its schools under the capable ntanagenfent oi Dr. English. We Seniors of l943 appreciate his service to us and extend our best wishes to him in gratitude. The career ot Mr. McDonald, High School Principal, is marked by thirteen years ot service to Brentwood. From l93U he has watched the school come through many changes and rapid advancement. ln that year Brentwood High School consisted oi only a few rooms in the Elroy Elementary School building. Finally in l933 the high school building was constructed, and Mr. McDonald became principal in the new building. ln l939 the addition with its cafeteria, music room, auditorium, class rooms, projection booth and new gymnasium was completed. The school now is organized as a lunior High School and a Senior High School with three courses oi study, academic, commercial and general. The school program has an extensive physical education plan, a trained nurse, a doctor and a dental hygienist. Credits are MR. S. E. McDONALD offered in art, music, chorus, shop and home economics. Students govern themselves and publish their own newspaper and annual. Extra-curricular club activities and socials are held throughout the school year under the corn- bined co-operation of the students, faculty and administration. As the years have passed, Mr. McDonald has kept modern, progressive methods at his fingertips. The Seniors sin- cerely hope ior his continued success.

The name was changed last fall to Senior Forum when the lunior High School organized its own governing body. Much of the success of the Student Forum is due to the assiduous though unobtrusive efforts of its sponsor, Miss Moore. Forum members are student representatives, elected by the student body. Home room presidents who compose the Forum must meet high standards. Elections are held in September and lanuary for the two successive terms. The executive department, comprised of five officers, the presi- dent, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary and the treasurer, is elected a week before the representatives. Executive candidates must apply and be interviewed. ln the five years oi the Forum's existence it has supervised school activities and brought about the Get Acguainted Hour during which Mt. Oliver students and Brentwood students begin lasting friendships. The Handbook first appeared in 1941 and accomplished its purpose of explaining the school's curricula and extra-curricular activities. There is a Lost and Found Department, which renders useful service. Noon dancing, tea dances and after-garne dances, as well as the big evning dances, are under Forum organization to provide entertain- ment tor all. The Calendar, Date Book and Dance Committee have been introduced for student convenience. The Forum has recently sponsored the Senior Award System. ln a successful War Stamp and Bond Drive the Sl5,UOU goal was reached in one half the appointed time, and another SSl5,UOU goal was set. ln addition, control of the General Fund and of the Activities Fund goes to the Forum. Next year Brentwood may expect a revised Handbook from the Forum's eitorts as one of its many contributions to student welfare. Seniors are appreciative oi the opportunity to operate their own government. They congratulate their representatives on a successful year.

O wen Fox With the conclusion of this school year we, as seniors, regret leaving Brent- wood High School. During these memorable years we have made many lasting friendships and have grown in stature and in wisdom. ln September the senior class met, and under the sponsorship of Mr. Potter elected class officers. Special high-lights of our senior year were the annual class party and Arsenic and Old Lace, the play in which nearly half the boys of the senior class died a violent but temporary death by poison. During the course of the year a number of students decided they could best serve their country by enlisting before graduation in the various armed forces. March first, another group of boys transferred to Defense School where they acquired skills in the manual arts so necessary tor supplying the fighting front. june second brought Commencement -ethis year more than ever a true commencement of a future uncertain yet fraught with opportunities to serve.

On this day they made many new acquaintances among the new Mr. Oliver students which they hope will devlop into real friendships. South Park and May 21 were the setting and time for this year's Sophomore Picnic, the best ever. Many Sophomores became active in the Student Forum.

The lunior Senate plans social functions that are of interest to the lunior High School. They also considered starting new clubs for the younger members oi our school and developing a plan tor promoting the national war effort. The Iunior Senate holds its own meetings, apart from those ot the Senior Forum. While at these meetings, the officers and delegates plan a program of interest to the Iunior High School students. This Iunior High School Organization has outdone the Senior High School in selling Defense Bonds and Stampsg the Senior High students have worked hard, but the competition has been too keen.

Not pictured-Louis Falcone, Harold Scott, Mgr. Upon the insistence of the new football coach Mr. Crevar, arrangements were made for the football squad to go to Bethany College for a week of practice and training. The strict regimen at Bethany was very helpful to the boys for the following season, but a tragedy occurred there that the student body, faculty and especially the football squad will never forget. lt was here that Connie Houston spent the last few days of his life doing the thing he loved most. The season, as a whole, was fairly successfulg it was above average and much better than last year. The Spartans finished with a fifty per cent average, winning four games and losing four. Much of the credit for the success of this year's team is due to the skillful leadership of Coach Crevar. During his undergraduate days, Mr. Crevar was football captain at Edinboro State Teachers College. After playing two years of professional football with the Warren Pros at Warren, Pennsylvania, he served as coach at Hopewell School in Aliquippa. Prospects for next year are extremely uncertain, graduation took our best ball carriers while our coach became an ensign in the Navy. Anthem-Page 40 Anthem-Page 42 C0l 8 EQIP BRENTWOOD 19 - BALDWIN 6 On September l9, the Spartans opened the sea- son against Baldwin. Early breaks pushed Baldwin into the lead, but we rallied to trounce them impressively. BRENTWOOD 28 - BELLEVUE 0 A week later Bellevue fell victim before the con- quering Blue and Gold. Bellevue's weight ad- vantage proved of no avail as we went on to victory. BRENTWOOD 0 - SHALER 6 Our squad travelled to Shaler for the first game under the lights. However overconfidence spelled defeat although we definitely out- played them. BRENTWOOD 19 - WEST VIEW 0 A rejuvenated Brentwood eleven again found itself by beating a highly favored West View team amid clouds of dust. As the dust cleared, it was evident that our charging line had never once been seriously threatened. BRENTWOOD 19 - MUNHALL 0 Once more the Spartans upset the dopesters by defeating the favored Munhall Indians, playing at night under the most adverse conditions. BRENTWOOD 0 - CRAFTON 0 Despite several valiant drives we were unable to score and defeat Crafton. A touchdown pass from Fox to Bazley was short-lived when it was nullified by a penalty. BRENTWOOD 0 - ETNA 21 The Blue and Gold played their third game at Etna. After stopping a very fast running attack, we were powerless against their fast passes which netted all three touchdowns. BRENTWOOD 0 - BETHEL 6 Overconfidence again spelled disaster for us. An intercepted pass, returned to our 9 yard stripe, set up the only touchdown of the game. BRENTWOOD 8 - DORMONT 45 The Spartans' last encounter of the season was with the Dormont Bulldogs. Playing in a bitter cold and a strong wind, we received the worst defeat of the season. WM? OQL4 Capturing fourteen wins against two losses, the Spartan quintet brought home the first title since 1934. The league season started rather slowly when the locals were smothered by a flashy Dormont five. Then the Brentwood lads swung into stride and peeled off 7 games in succession. The second half began with a bang as Brentwood avenged their only defeat of the season by topping Dormont. Then the seven game winning streak was broken by an underrated Coraopolis team. The Blue and Gold came back to vanquish their next five oppo- nents, taking in succession Mcliees Hooks, Crafton, Carnegie, Stowe and Mt. Lebanon. The first play-off game was lost to Ford City 36-24 to close a great basketball season. Senior lettermen were Gwen Eox, Arthur Najeski, and Bob Dornburg. Back Bow-Ioe Balena, Don lunker, Dave Schlag.

An1homAPage 44 Cllflfda comm The season started with two warm-up games with Overbrook in which the Iunior Spartans under their new coach Mr. Kuhn, made a fine showing. Alf though they dropped both by narrow margins, they had the opportunity to iron out the kinks and settle down in time to beat Baldwin 30-26, their first league game. They lost the next two to Lebanon and l-lomeville, but with a fine come- back they overpowered Baldwin for the second time. They showed their ability in the next game by beating Homeville who at the end of the year were section- al champs. The Spartans came through with their tinal victory by downing Lebanon, to tie with Baldwin for second place. The lunior Spartans have set as their goal tor next year to equal or better the record ot the Senior team.

With only four letter men returning to the Cinder oval, Coach Costolo had to rely on new talent to fill most of the distance posts. The hurdles event, featuring consistent high-scorer Mock, Hansen and Bazley, gave Brentwood many a match point. Hansen also proved himself a good quarter-miler. Bazley became adept at the shot put and the discus throw. Melvin, who was expected to earn his letter from high jumping. surprised everyone by developing into our best pole vaulter. All in all, the team won its share of the meets, and the participants reaped added benefits in health and fun. Prospects for the future are bright, most of this ye-ar's squad came from the Sophomore and Iunior classes. Hansen, while only a Sophomore, has won his letter two years. Pole vaulter Stoker, a Sophomore, and javelin hurler Hall, a lunior, are expected to shatter some school records before they graduate. mm- Quimby The Brentwood Hill-and-Daler's had a none to successful season al- though Coach Costolo noted marked improvement in all the boys of the squad. Five members earned their letters: McGuirk, high point man: Evans, Vaughang Radosevich and Huggler. Anthem-Page 46 or sJ41QaZffL an Rauf? Kickball and volleyball tournaments this year opened the girls' sports program. Senior and Iunior basketball contests soon tollowed with Pat Howells team ot ll-Z's capturing the much struggled tor title in Senior High. junior High Captain, Evelyn 'l'orisky, and her team of 9-2's won the championship for the underclassmen. As a result, a representative team trorn the Senior High, headed by Pat Howell and sponsored by the Girls' Athletic League, organized a team to partici- pate in outside competition. At the latter part of the year lunior High athletic interest lay in tumbling. A recreational leadership course, composed ot Senior girls from a chosen gym class, was the next activity. Each girl was given an opportunity to act as a physical instructorffto teach games, dances and exercises. This course, connected with the Physical Fitness Pro gram, was under the Victory Corps. ln the Spring lunior High held a newcomb and tenikoit tourna- ment as the Senior High rounded up the season with badinintan and archery. ln May there were two inter-class track meets with competitions among various lunior and Senior High Home Rooms in basketball throw, high jump, dashes and relays.

Remember when the ANTHEM was only in its embryonic stage in the fall of '42 and the photographer and the Weather-man just couldn't get together? Remember when you heard a click and looked up to find that you had just become the subject of one of those scenes around the campus shots and you were either mortified or woeful because you just knew your hair was a wreck? -Remember how no matter what happened that photography staff proved to be johnny-on-the-spot? And remember how after posing under those bright lights you had enough of it definitely to change your childhood ambition of becoming another Clark Gable or Bette Davis? Other than catching clever candid shots remember the feature staff for digging into every Senior's past and finding some very revealing anecdotes for the feature section. And worthy of remembering is how capably Howard Wehling took over the Senior Section when Bill Dewald left us for the service and George Dewalt the Sports when jack Heckman went to college. Remember how Duke tried to grace every group picture with his presence and how proud little Britt was because his picture was going to be two times?

The proceeds swelled the Activities Fund. The play shows the members of the lovable Sycamore family in their many moods. Grandpa Vanderhoff and the rest of the family believe now is the time to enjoy life, and each in his individual way. ln contrast, we see the unhappy but wealthy Kirbys. Tony Kirby falls in love with pretty Alice Sycamore: but when the two families meet, Alice decides that she and Tony are of different worlds. Tony, however, is determined to convert his parents because he believes their way of life is wrong. Mr. Kirby, at least, is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores' living roomfetheir experimentation on fire- crackers, their pet snakes on the library table, and Mrs. Sycamore's togaclad model, the iceman who stayed for dinner.

Miss Bothrock and Miss Bracken were co-directors. The play involves the lives oi two sweet old spinsters: Miss Abby Brewster, portrayed by Dorcas Albrightp and Miss Martha Brewster, portrayed by Buth Demme. ln the course ot their lives they murder twelve men and bury them in the cellar, all under the pretense that they are helping poor miserable souls to a tinal, peaceful resting place. Two nephews further add to the involved plot. Teddy thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and dashes madly about the house intermittently shouting 'Chargel and blowing his bugle. lonathan, a notorious gangster, pays an unwelcome visit to the old homestead, bringing with him his sinister accomplice, Dr. Einstein. The way Mortimer Brewster, who is the only sane Brewster, tries to get rid ot lonathan and to protect his two aunts trom the charge ot murder proves to be an interesting and hilarious story.
