ANDERSON LHNUHQS Ui Wi PAMUE Greetings to the Class Oli June, HE completion of the secondary school course is an altogether loyal and patriotic service to your country. To be properly trained has always been a fundamental requirement of good citizenship. Added emphasis has been given to the need for educa- tional preparation in these days of world chaos. Millions of men and women have returned to school for training which they might have acquired earlier. They have come seeking instruction in first aid, mathematics, science, trades, and other branches having a direct relationship to National Defense. The measure of the strength of a man can best be taken by observing what he does in an emergency. The achievements of statesmen, generals, and industrial leaders during the present crisis have caused us to recognize strong men who were little known during ordinary times. You are graduating at a most unusual time when extra- ordinary demands and challenges face each individual. America is engaged in a total war in which every person is under obligation to serve to the best of his ability. The measure of your strength will be determined by the way in which you meet the need for service. It is possible that some of the members of this class may use the present unsettled conditions in the world as an excuse for drifting aimlessly. We hope, how- ever, that all of the members of this class will be challenged to give their very best at this time of need in service to their God, their nation, and the world, Those who lose themselves in this type of unselfish service will show their true greatness and will prepare themselves for a life of usefulness when the present emergency has passed. May you have developed in high school the physical, intellectual, and moral stature which will enable you to measure up to your responsibilities.

OR three years these ten home room guardians have lcept pace with their Ucherubsf, usually smiling, sometimes frowning. Their sympathetic ad- vice, lcindly admonishing, and occasional quick flare of temper ftheyire only human after alll have endeared them to those who came under their influence and direction. With their help, we, the class of June 1942, have had organized home rooms and valuable guidance programs, added pennies to the class funds, danced in the gym, sold tickets, marched in more or less orderly fashion to assembly and listened funder their eagle-eyesj docilely or not too enthusiastically. They have grilled us about absences, sent us with quaking hearts to the office, encouraged us to try out for this and that, and thrilled with us when we won an award or recognition, they have admired our new dresses or ties or high school letters. They have listened to our alibi of how' the other teachers uabusedi' us, ubawledu us out properly for not studying, heard our tale of mis- understandings concerning the best friend who lied or the fickle boy friend, and even helped us make a date with the blonde in the next room.

ENEUEH RAMP! Tramp! Tramp! comes the sound of marching feet . . . first in the procession of our English section come rows of proud, stately exclamation points, followed by roly-poly commas, colons, periods, and semicolons, with par- entheses and brackets scattered through the crowd . . . and what a task to keep them in their proper place! . . . this company is followed by hosts of nouns, pronouns, prepositions, verbs, adverbs, adjectives . . . next come a motley crew of hackneyed expressions, misused and mispro- nounced words, and several very battered looking adjectives known as cute,', good , and nice . . . close by walk a group led by Public Speaking who stops to explain the headaches of play- wright and producer, i.e. play writing, casting, practicing, play technique, costumes, make-up, properties . . . after seeing this fellow, Shakespeare seems to us like a mighty good guy, instead of just a great dramatist.

Included in the passing array are Problems of Democracy, Economics, Civics, and History. Sometimes Commercial Law steps over in this division of our parade and tells us whether or not it is lawful to burn down the house for insurance- incidentally, it isnlt-Problems of Democracy carries a banner of understandable details that arise in a democracy such as ours, taking time out from the cavalcade to dramatize legislative sessions, murder trials, and traffic violation courts. Doesn't that sound interesting, and it is, especially when one of your own classmates is brought before the court and tried by a student jury. The Economics division centers attention on the Whys and wherefores of living conditions in the world-like why Brazil exports coffee and Argentina Wool, Why the Canary Islands exports canaries, or donlt they? Marching along in line with this section, we find the answer to the question of why some people live in flats and some in towers, why some businesses are sound and some bankrupt, why our salary never catches up to the bills. Dignified Civics struts by, delving into the deep, dark annals of the basic principles of American government, tells what makes a law unconstitutional, a senator tick, and that even you can be president of the United States. Constantly changing, History strolls by our vantage point, vivifying the heroic struggle of man- kind in the previous centuries as well as revealing astounding details of what went on behind the romantic adventures and dramatic wars. Of course you know that Columbus discovered America, but can you safely name the date? What was Ponce De Leonis fountain of youth, a soda fountain or What?

Also to keep us guessing we have Mr. Herron and Mr. Palmer at bat for physics, they are making hits all the time with such things as What goes up must come downu or wfhe volume of I-LO taken up by a bathroom baritone is equal to the volume of the gas escaping from the clown- stairs boilerf, and other little items that involve deep thinking and heavy snoring . . . Talking about science, we must not neglect old Lizzie, the standby for the biology classes. Yes, Lizzie is involved in a science, believe it or not, sheis also involved with Mr. Nicholas, who sees that she is properly dressed and fed the right vitamins fA, B, C, D, E, and Xl. For a pastime Mr. Love and Mr. McMillan put grasshoppers and snakes in girl,s hair! These three biologists easily take care of the future biologists who seem to be waiting expectantly to see the outcome of the war between the amoeba and the paramecia . . . Star-gazing is also included in this procession of science. Of course, you think you know enough about the stars land the Moonl but Miss Cole can show you a few tricks fabout astronomyl. She can tell you how the Big Bear sat on Cassiopeais chair and drank out of the Big Dipper, how Saturn gave Jupiter a run for his money, why the sun shines, and who eats the cheese on the moon. 74 Qwetaftcl i' The boisterous crowds have left the halls, No longer is their friendly chatter heard. No one lingers out on the old stone wallg , Silence reigns,' there are no words. They all have left to take their place, Each one seeking a different goal, Some will falter in the futile race, Others will triumph in their role. But in years to come, when they look back, Perhaps a tender memory will appear Of friends, of knowledge-they seemed to lack, But most of all their Senior year. They'll think of tests, and teachers, too, dad all of those unpleasant tasks, The days, the Mondays efveryone seemed blue. Will they regret them, may I ask? And then, perhaps, theyjll laugh inside, Alt all those lzoners, those jokes, those pranks All these will help them stem the tide, For these they'll give a thousand thanks.

EWNE PW At 8:15 o'cloclc on April 16 and 17, the curtain rose once again on a senior class dramatic production. This spring,s presentation was Clifford Goldsmitlfs What a Life! The locale of the play was laid in the office of the principal of Central High School, where Henry Aldrich spent the greater part of his school day. It was here that Henry received his due reward for drawing cartoons, disturbing teachers, cribbing during examinations, and faced the accusation that he had pawned the high school band. Henry's none-too-serene life was continually being troubled by affairs of heart, in the person of Barbara Pearson. His chief rivals for the interest of Barbara proved to be George Bigelow and George's tuxedo. However, when the final curtain was drawn, we found Henry reinstated in the good graces of his teachers and Nall set for the big dance, complete with two tickets, a date, and thirty cents for carfare fborrowed from the girl-friend, .

There are few contests as exciting as a swimming meet where one man's ability is pitted against another,s, instead of team against team. Few students get the chance to witness our boys in action, so they are seldom given the recog- nition which they deserve. In fact, do you even know the names of the boys on our team or that the team par- - ticipated in eight meets during the season. Even though MQ' they won few meets, we should be proud of the showing which the varsity swimming team has made in 1942. There are a number of things which the scoreboard can't show that we might remember: there were only two seniors on the team, eleven boys have won their letters, and our team was the smallest in the competition. Our team, although badly outclassed, won 23 firsts. Dave Keck, the captain, was high man with 63 points. There, of course, has been intra-mural swimming competition, and many of the under- classmen are showing up well. So with nine lettermen and these, BHS may look forward to an extremely successful season next year. KET- ljlllfllii F1116 Vlialie A1Cl'IIlaiC1S UI' iN!iEII'1l1C11? T116 Top fx olouiics . . .

AVE YOU noticed the trim figures of B H S All the future Charlie Atlases in the classes will be thanking Mr. Mixer for years to come for the start they got in gym classes. Calisthenics, wrestling, tumbling, apparatus work, acrobatics, and athletic games are among the varied sports and activities provided. Increasing interest is being placed upon intra-mural activities for both boys and girls. This enables a greater portion of the student body to enjoy the benefits to be derived from active participation in sports and athletic games. This year the boys have had a basket ball league, the interest was keen and the games hotly contested. Proud were the boys of June '42 who won the championship and re- ceived miniature silver basket balls as awards. The members of this team were Lawrence Bish, Howard Clark, Donald Crouch, Howard Denny, Charles Evans, Marcel Gall, William Grecco, Paul Langland, Leo Nowicki, Victor Rikal, Ralph Warheit, Steve Yamnitsky . . . Spring has brought forth a group of mush ball teams. First Aid work is being given to both boys and girls as a part of the regular gym work while Mr. Nicholas is instructing a special noon hour class. activity during the spring months. Here the boys who have ambitions to leap, run, and jump HE OLD Athletic Field has been a scene of have their chance and spend hours after school in perfecting their form and in gaining the speed and endurance necessary for successful track competition. The track season at Butler High opened with the annual inter-class meet on March 27. The events included 100 yard and 400 yard dash, mile run, and high and low hurdles, pole vault, broad and high jump, shot put and discus and javelin throw. This meet is open to all boys in Junior or Senior High School who have not been in attendance more than eight semesters and have not earned a varsity track letter. Leo Nowicki of the A Seniors was high point man and received the trophy . . . The varsity team won a 100-25 decision over Freedom on April 17 and lost 93 1X3 - 30 2X3 to Mt. Lebanon on April 22. The boys will compete in the WPIAL relays at Connellsville. Seniors on the team are Marcel Gall, Robert Kerr, Morgan Lucas, Tom Dufford, Glenn Neubert, Leo Nowicki, and Dale Young. E P EIMS! !llHllHE l-XEHVIHEE HE GIRLS in Butler High are by no means neglected in athletic activities. The regular gym work for girls follows much the same plan as for boys. Beside all the energetic activities the dumb-belles fwith proper apologyj are learn- ing to use dumb-bells! Occasionally the program is varied by a bit of folk dancing. Contrary to popular belief, the girls do go swimming in the swimming pool-the girls of BHS arenit afraid of getting themselves splashed-and despite the subversive rumors spread by the boys, the girls can swim. Several of the girls have Red Cross Life Saving Certificates. A Seniors who are proud possessors of the Junior certificate are Joan Callahan, Mary Gove Griswold, Helen Mc- Dowell, Ann McLafferty, Debbie Rauschenberger, Mary Catherine Schlicht, Donna Yarger. The girls also enjoy basket ball, volley ball, table tennis, and badminton. Many of the girls take part in each sport whole-heartedly, both for the enjoyment and for the honor of being the champion. The success of these activities can be accounted for by the leadership and efforts of their instructor, Miss Varnum, more popularly known to the girls as Ginny.', This year the table tennis tournament was won by Lovey Telen- son June 44, the badminton tournament, by Eileen Killmeyer June '43. We must not forget that part of the activity which is carried on at the games by the girls in gold school sweaters. The candy we buy from them makes possible trophies and new equipment for girls' athletics. Basket ball is the outstanding of these sports. If you don't believe it, you should have seen the A Senior girls play. Their games were really worth- while. As B Seniors they were surpassed only by the undefeated A Seniors of last semester. Their games were not Upushoversn because the Majors, as these girls were called, really played hard and furiously to win their games, in fact, the outstanding guarding of Betty Russin, Mary Gove Griswold, Betsy Schneider, and Norma Welsh was somewhat slowed by the A Sophomores. They never give up hope and kept fighting to the end. Teamwork and cooperation abounded. The girls can very proudly say that they have achieved their goal in the field of basket ball and are proud to be champions of a 13 team league. The credit for all the points made to win each game can readily be given to the alert forwards of the team, Dorothy Dufford, Dorothy Bar- bary, Frances Penar, Dorothy Robb, and julie Ference. Dorothy Robb won the trophy for being the highest score maker of the league. Miss Varnum carries on another activity in con- nection with athletics, she sponsors the cheer leaders. When we see them in action at a game, we realize how strenuous is their practicing-to be able to turn flip-flops like Dorothy Robb, stand on your head like Jimmy Becherer, shake a fist like Jean Forsythe, dance a fandango like Mary Elenore Fox, be as agile as Dolly Fratto, or yell as loud and long as Joan Miller and I-Toward Denny really takes effort. Weren't they gorgeous in the new outfits this year? And we liked their specialities before, during, and after cheers. Rah! Rah!

The Adveiitures of Super-Shadow RUSSELL BROXVN I can,t is the most exasperating, dis- combooberating short quip I know. At least, that's what the Super-Shadow said. Of course, you,ve all heard of Super- Shadow, the invisible midget of super strength. It was he who jumped off the Empire State Building, landed on the edge of the Hudson River, and came up on the other side. What did we have? The Hol- land Tunnel! It was he, The Mighty Mite of the Marathon, making marks to meet those made by Meridian fWho ever heard of Meridian?j Masters,', who sat upon Old Faithful, one hundred twenty feet in the air for three hundred sixty-six days fleap yearj, calling himself the Greatest Greasy- Geyser Geezeru in the world. One day the Super-Shadow was sitting on a flagpole, moping about his income tax, fthank goodness, that,s all over withJ when little Jimmie Johnson, the neighbor's brat fno reflections given in this column on the weaker sex, thus we will make out character a boyj came walking up the road. Jimmie had a problem. He must either go to Africa and bring back a boa constrictor or else spend the rest of his biology class school days in a large flower pot, with a purple skull-cap on his head and be called upetuniaf' Jimmie was by no means a sissy, so with a sigh on his lips and a tear in his eye, with a determined mind and a strong heart, we find our little pill, I mean pal, approaching the Super-Shadow. Kind sir, will you help me with my prob- lem?,, queried our little friend. I must go to Africa immediately. The Super-Shadow leaped from the pole, down through the earth, and came up in the hut of Boogie-Woogie Louie. It was the hottest weather of the season, and we wish to quote Louie's remarks. Quote Whew,, Unquote. On the zombie hour, our friends de- parted for the deep, dark jungle. They were walking along, thoroughly enjoying the foliage, when suddenly the ground seemed to drop from under their feet. Down, down, they went, down into an abyss of great depth, down until finally they- now, clon't go getting yourself all excited. You know the Super-Shadow never fails. With a twist of his knee and a frying pan, he grasped a limb of a tree, reached out with his free arm, and caught Jimmie in his fall. A neat drop of ten feet from the tree limb brought the two friends to their destina- tion. It was the darkest night our friends had ever seen. It was so dark a night that -oh, shucksll I just told you it was morn- ing. Well, anyway, you get the idea that it was a deep and dark jungle. Lions and tigers held no fears of Super- Shadow and Jimmie. That's what the trouble was. Our friends were kept running so much that they passed three boa con- strictors before they could pronounce it. By this time our friends were tired. fWe should report them to the Rubber Priorities Board.J Suddenly an idea came to Super-Shadow. Why not use his powers of hypnotic magic. Super-Shadow's-natural bomb-sight eyes lo- cated a super-super boa constrictor. Super- Shadow winked his eyes at the boa, and the dangerous snake became as harmless and meek as a woman in a bargain base- ment.

An Autczhiography of My School Life BETTY ELAINE DYKE When I shall have completed my twelfth year of schooling in June, I believe I can truthfully say that there are not many who have as vivid school memories as I. My actual education began back in September, 1930, when my father literally dragged me to Meridian school to meet Miss Brown. I remember so well telling her that I was glad I wasnlt a cry-baby like Audrey Zier. It was during my second year that Bud Guise- wite moved into our small metropolis. Never will I forget the day Bud usockedn me be- cause I accused him of being my third cousin. I think life actually began for me in third grade. It was then I was sent out of the room for not having my geography homework completed. I was horrified to tears when Bob Miller saw me standing in the corner crying. In fourth grade I sailed up to second place on the honor roll. QCon- nie Goehring was always first., Regardless of my important standing, the teacher came back one day to see why I had so much to say to Jimmie Edinger. Politely she asked me to take off my glasses and then she shook me until I was so dizzy I fell off the seat. I was consoled some when she shook Jim- mie, too. I believe it was about this time in my life that Dottie Williams crossed my path. Fortunately, her mother separated us before she had pulled out all my hair. Then Tom Dufford was moved up to a permanent front seat. He said if he'd had it to do over, he'd still have hit me. And so on and on. My final school memory is Commencement Day. Proudly I stumbled forward to receive third award in the alcohol essay contest. Dorothy Dufford was first and about six tied for Second place. Thus ends an autobiography covering eight of the seventeen happiest years of my life. Dave Parke says that up to sixteen a lad is a boy scout-after sixteen he becomes a girl scout. -B.I I.S.-- Seen on Dorothy Robison's English paper: During those years, Milton was edu- cated and also went to college.

Q When I was just a freshman Quite some time ago, I used to sit and wonder, As I saw the classes go, How it felt to be a senior And would I ever reach the goal, But all the assurance I could get Was I liked to go to school. Now all the hopes and dreams I had Of reaching the longed-for goal Don't seem to thrill me quite as much As the thought of remaining in school. Oh, I fretted at times when I had to come. I admit that childish whim, Now, if I only could go back to school And live through the days that have been. Victory' Jamcsine ixlillcr We,ve got to seek victory for our U. S.

P.S. torian Likely her so -Since Olga Zachar is the Valedic- of our class and also voted the Most To Succeed, we decided to interview that students still in high school may derive some benefit from what she tells us below: Dear I. Rfs My first impression upon entering high school was one of great perplexity and amazement, but I felt that I would learn to like it. One thing that impressed me very strongly was the attention the boys paid to the girls, and vice versa. I distinctly re- member when I was a sophomore that a boy who was in my French class, while passing near me tapped me on the shoulder and said, Hi, Olga. I was so astonished at his audacity that I did not even reply. Every time I think of the incident, I have to laugh at my quaint principles. My most exciting moment in high school was the day I learned that I had been chosen the vale- dictorian. It sounded almost too good to be true. It seemed like the great climax of my life. I had always had a great passion for acquiring knowledge but never dreamed I would be so rewarded. My favorite class was French. I had taken French when I was a sophomore, while most of the students in my French class were juniors. I remember the day that one of the upperclassmen was extremely excited over an A in a French test. Miss Helm remarked to him about some of the students who always received A's. But the upperclassman replied, Oh, but they do not receive the thrill that those who are accustomed to B's get. Perhaps there is something to that! My most embarrassing moment in high school was the day I had forgotten to listen to the recitation in my chemistry class. Mr. Atwell, noticing this, asked me if the pre- vious recitation were correct. Honestly, I had no idea what they were talking about. However, very graciously, the boy who sat across from me, leaned over and whispered, yes. Grateful for the rescue, I replied to the teacher, Yes The entire class roared. Mr. Atwell then stated, Class, I,ve just noticed the past few days that Olga believes everything he tells herf' I was thoroughly flustered. A. H. HIMCHAK General I nsurance BOX 608, BUTLER, PA.

I hope to continue study, but what the future has in store for me, I know not. 1 llarewell Eileen Hunlm Into the world we graduates go With our heads held high, Our steps a bit slow, Reluctant indeed to leave school behind. Happy memories we keep in mind, Though we may be parting And many of the lads Whom our country is calling In khaki be clad, We know it's our duty To give and to help In every way possible So our power may be felt By every aggressor against our goal Of equal rights from pole to pole! Our Goodbye Jimmie hliller We've waited in vain for four long years, But graduation is here at last. We've learned a lot and had our fun, Our high school days can't be surpassed. We'll miss our classmates and our teachers, For they've really worked to help us pass, We wish success to the underclassmen, And that they may have as nice a class. Graduation I'Ielen Simitoslti Graduation day is here. It fills my heart with sadness and with cheer, With sadness to think that I must go And leave all the friends I used to know, With cheer that I have reached the goal That I for years have been aiming for. IMHEW NH Dear Gradulatings! June! What thought does the word bring to your academic minds? Weddings? No! Graduation? But definitely! Here we are after twelve long hard years of toilf?j ready to be ejected from the BHS premises with a sheepskin in our hands to face the crool, crool world. Remember how at the tender age of six, we were ruthlessly torn away from our wagons, dolls, and continual cow- boy-and-Indian games and placed in the hands of a real, live, we've-been-told-about- you teacher where we learned the essentials of strict discipline and the fact that paper wads were definitely out! Yes, all our wor- ries started that day back in September, 1929. just think how Don Hutchison, Paul Chuba, George Beblo, and Earl Knause looked when they started to St. Paul's School. Each was in knickers, knee-high socks, and working shoes, and all were run- ning around playing marbles and all the rest of those games. Yes, those were the good old days. The following are some of those silly incidents that happened 'way back then.

FOURTH GRADE - John Mixer put Jack Beatty over his knee and paddled him . . . Dick Brady and Harry Gold got caught having a war with bean shooters on the second floor in Broad Street . . .
