Z S pflilillm l wir N w s 2 E5 :cs Q F' ii im 'm 53 E :U +4 Wfe, the class of 1943 of the Derry Township High School, are about to enter a world torn by international strife. Vie realize that of all classes who have come from these halls, none could have equaled us in a chance for service. NVe sincerely hope that this crisis will not be long-that soon years of peace and good-will will take the place of gun-making and bombing. I Wfe are proud to mention that we have already given three of our boys to the service of our country, and others may soon follow. VVe sincerely hope for the best to come to them and their comrades, and to others with the allied forces scattered over the world. So to our boys, in particular, the seniors proudly say, 'tGood luck and may God bless you 1 john Miller of the U. S. Navy. Glenn Righter, U. S. Marines, Ralph Moyer of the U. S. Army: and likewise to these boys, our underclassmen, Bennie Picketts, U. S. Army, and Blain Ferguson, U. S. Army. Along with these boys, our class has lost a few feminine members, who suddenly decided their own names were not good enough for them: Martha Bressler, Meriam Wfagner, Betty Mae Kelly, Virginia Downing, and Olivia Knouse's names were on our roll books, until one by one they took their vows. Due to selective service, we have had an unusual number of teachers compared to previous classes. This year, 1942-43, brought to our high school faculty these new mem- bers: UT. VV. Riden, taking the position of Prof. 'Walter M. Hollis, Mrs. VVilliam Wlhitley replacing Mr. Philip Daubert, who replaced Mr. Albert Gulden, both of whom are now in the armed forces, Miss Betty Stine and Mr. Merrill VVag- ner substituting for Mr. John Miller and Mr. Fl. Gerald VVoomer, also in the Armyg Miss Sarah K. Richards and Mrs. Marion H. Kunsman were also chosen as musical instructors, replacing Mr. XrVilliam Wfhitley of the U. S. Army and Mr. Richard B. Shade who resigned. Last year Miss Dorcas Fick became an instructor in the commercial department. Those who have taught us during our entire high school course were: Mr. Mlm. Edgar Artman, Mrs. Harold Kershner, Miss Clara Stayner, and Miss Luella Nafzinger. To Mr. David L. Swartz, our Supervising Principal, to Mr. I. VV. Riden, our Principal, and to each of our teachers. we offer our sincerest grati- tude for their long enduring patience and guidance. 'We sincerely bid them a fond farewell, realizing that we can no longer be with them. Our place will be filled by the juniors, who, we are sure, will successfully carry on. Even with our happy moments this year, there were sad ones. One that stands out in our minds and shall never he erased, was the news of the sudden death of one who was dear to us, Professor XValter M. Hollis, who had been with the Medical Corps of the U. S. Army from November 7, 1942 until March 6, 1943, the day of his death. After having him as Principal and teacher of history our first three years in high school, we miss him greatly, even though we were given someone to ably take his place. Sometimes our class was criticized by the faculty and our inferior classed schoolmates for a complete lack of pep. Wie admit it, but just to a cer- L'HlSTOlRE Page N ineteen
