BUILDERS s WE, the members of the 1943 graduating class of the Mechanicsburg High School, answer our country's call for men and women for the armed forces, for business and war production industries, for college edu- cation, and for intelligent leaders in government-all of us taking willingly the responsibilities of total war-we face a grimmer world than we have ever known. But we cannot help looking back to remember that small world of happiness of our high school years when we revelled in study, play participation, and achievement. As we recall our life in this beautiful, little world we gain a certain sense of satisfaction that there are such things as this to live and die for in a troubled age. We started our Sophomore year well-represented in sports, music and other activities and our class party uniquely featured a stage show. Our junior play Yes and No and our assembly program Helza- poppin, which was based on the rollicking musical comedy of the same name, and written and directed by one of our own juniors gave us a chance to Show our talents. Original nautical decorations helped to make our junior-Senior Prom a delightfully memorable event. Although our senior year was broken up by the' loss of class- mates who entered the armed forces, colleges, and war produc- - tion, we tried to make the last year of high school our best year. ' M 'fir' Our scholastic standing was high and five of us were members of the National Hon- or Society. We composed the eighth annual edition of the Handbook, the eighteenth volume of the Torch and the twelfth an- nual edition of the year- book. We talked on the Sound System broad- casts and sang in the Glee Club. YVe played our horns and violins in the band and the orchestra.
