Gate olii'ito.'iie'i Incident and episode, tragic and otherwise, from the files of the past. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Center Doors Auditorium Butler Senior High School—Main Entrance Here in Butler High School, many changes have occurred since we seniors entered as wide-eyed freshmen. We went along from day to day following the same traditional paths as our parents and friends until suddenly, with a world-shaking blast, came Pearl Harbor. A global war reached into our classroom, and we watched eager classmates enlist to march off to unfamiliar fields. We saw teachers leave (one never to return), new faces take the place of old ones, new subjects introduced,—Butler High began its Flight toward New Horizons. Eagerly, hopefully, we turned our faces toward strange new experiences: we studied aeronautics . . . took up code classes at night . . . tried for higher grades . . . everyone rushed to get at least one semester of typing, and two noon-typing classes resulted . . . the musical curriculum was enlarged to admit music appreciation and harmony, and another music instructor was added to the faculty . . . the absentee office moved to a room of its own . . . Butler High joined the Buy-a-Jeep-a-Week Club, and War Stamps became a must for every Wednesday . . . service flags were proudly displayed in home rooms . . . lonely servicemen wandered through the halls peeping into old familiar classrooms ... a guest book” record was started to preserve their names for future reference. Our vision broadened: true, we were fighting a war but we were also planning a permanent democratic peace . . . post-war days were ahead ... we groped toward better things . . . boys joined the new aeronautics class . . . visited the Pittsburgh-Butler airport . . . talked with Air Cadets . . . diligently studied airplane models . . . planned for aviation careers, not just to be tail-gunners on flying fortresses but to make aviation a peacetime occupation . . . there was a new thrill in math, astronomy, and global geography. Girls were called on, too, to fill boys’ jobs . . . the government sent out calls for help, and Butler High responded . . . after-graduation plans to go to Washington became a reality when the girls signed up at unheard-of-salaries . . . the various women’s services were as yet out of reach because of the age limit, but many planned to enlist as soon as they were old enough . . . more girls enlisted as Nurse Cadets and thus added chemistry, Latin, and science to already heavy schedules . . . home nursing and first aid courses were given as Butler was left with fewer and fewer doctors—no longer did a mere scratch or sprained ankle bring a doctor on the run. An increasing manpower shortage was somewhat relieved when many of the boys accepted evening work in defense plants . . . girls and boys alike took on a new community responsibility when they became civilian defense workers and junior air raid wardens . . . a high percentage of boys qualified for further education, at Uncle Sam’s expense, when they passed the Army-Navy Special Training Program examinations . . . plastics emerged as a substitute for metal . . . synthetic rubber tires appeared . . . chemistry took on new significance ... a fabulous new world was arising from the scientist’s test tube. We had fun at after-school dances and noon hour movies . . . yet we accepted heavy re-sponsilibities . . . report cards became opening wedges into the business world ... a diploma was more than a roll of parchment . . . Butler High School, once a playground for a few, became a stepping stone for all, where new-found wings lifted toward new horizons. 1lte 9n KfzenAakleA, o Those of Butler High School who have made the greatest flight of all passed beyond the bright horizon of the Great Hereafter. am ★ Killed osi bied in Me aice ★ Hugh E.

Manttj. me'iq, edUc tiosi A perfect Woman nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command; And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light.” To the teacher who made English more than just a language; To the dramatist who produced so many fine plays; To the counsellor whose advice often saved us; To the humorist who laughed with us, not at us; To the lady who with winsome smile and courteous example inspired her students to bigger and better things; To the navigator who steered our lives ever onward and upward; We, the graduating classes of 1944, affectionately dedicate this Senior Magnet Ao- Midd. AUene 2). Mcwitcjamesuf, They taught me thus: to think, to act, to be, To choose between license and liberty. Far more than knowledge, these they gave to me: A sense of honor, truth, fair rivalry. Far more than words, they lived the lives they taught, And by example, oh, what good they’ve wrought! These memories of them I shall carry far— The daily line up of each teacher’s car; Warm greetings, absence lists, dry jokes. Real friendliness of all the office folks”; That stern gaze that the teachers must assume. The final grades that spell a student’s doom, Blue slips that every teacher autographs, Faultfinding, helpful hints, and jolly laughs; Eyes off the keyboard.” Get rid of your gum.” Words that ring out and make poor students glum. Sit up straight, can’t you?” Get a light in your eye!” Keep your eyes on your own work!”—No, never say die! — I don’t mean this class—” and so on it goes. Little sermons that help to keep us on our toes; Economics, few failures, and many successes; Fourth year of Latin, how many? —three guesses! That eight o’clock study hall, oh, how we squirm, ’Tis true that the early bird now gets the worm. They’ve struggled, we’ve struggled, the prize now is won! We reach graduation with everything done: While behind us, as proud as we ever could be, Stands our army of generals—the Faculty! And they watch, as we take off and soar to the sky, Our solos as graduates of old Butler High! 17 Greetings to the Mfcmbers of the Graduating Classes of 1944: The theme for this yearbook, Flight toward New Horizons,” is appropriate at this time. Horizons hold a fascination for us. We wonder what is beyond them. Mountains, streams, and oceans have been barriers which have limited the extent of our horizons. The airplane and radio have extended our horizons to include the earth. This expansion thrills us but challenges us to take advantage of new opportunities. Prepare to do that which is worthwhile. Think big thoughts, live the good life, look up and laugh and love and lift. Live your life in keeping with the new and challenging horizons which surround you. ROY W. WILEY 18 To the Graduates of 1944: Every class desires some particular mark of distinction. The recognition we wish for you is that you will be the groups to graduate during the year in which World War II will come to an end. All eyes are lifted to the horizon with its assurance of victory and the return of our loved ones from the training centers and from the battle areas. The new era will offer some compensations for the anxieties and terrors of the present day in the promises of an improved order in the affairs of men. Phenomenal scientific developments will bring occupational opportunities, startling changes in methods of transportation, gains in medicinal and surgical treatment, and more convenient living accommodations. Your training, if it has been properly balanced, will cause you not only to anticipate what may be beneficial to you but also to seek types of service which will contribute to the welfare of others. The best wishes of the faculty go with you. We are particularly concerned that those of you who join the military forces will be spared to serve just as nobly as citizens in a country at peace. JOHN D. ANDERSON 19 To the Graduates of 1944: Man seems to be born with the inherent longing for new things, new places, new acquaintances, new| ideas. Without this driving power there would be no progress. Friends, graduates of 1944, you, loo, are possessed with this drive. You have visions of being in the vanguard for discoveries in motive power, science, and medicine. In this search do not forget yourselves. The Ancient Greeks placed a much higher value on the life of young people than on that of older people, for they said the older people have already proved their worth while among the young there may be a great philosopher, painter, sculptor, or scientist. In you, there are so many fine qualities and powers that may never be discovered unless you put your own private laboratory to work. Heed Socrates’ advice, Know thyself”.

Fach year swift going, ’til four have passed me by. And now I am a senior, proud and high. Now can I close my eyes and still I see That one o’clock parading minstrelsy. For certain I can say each teacher’s name, And tell with interest from whereof he came. No longer need I look above each door To see the number of the room before I enter. These things stand out: an eager freshman’s eyes The bored, wise look of seniors, the jokes, the size Of senior boys, the loud shoestrings, page boys, Upsweeps, and featherbobs, ecstatic joys Of A’s, the groans of E’s, The will of doing anything you please. Cute pins, prom dates, the howling wolf’s loud call. Sweater boys, the gossip, and over all— The nearing graduation, pictures, class dues, The solemn seniors’ stroll through halls in twos. Teddy Bear” haircuts, quiet study rooms, Shy seniors, pretty girls—love blooms! These are our memories of Butler High, Fond memories of times gone swiftly by. The race is finished and the battle won; Our training over,—and our flight begun! 31 fJa+vuciSuf, I9J+4. Muharg Kapp Klugh Titus Apple Badger Baldauf Barker Barr Beatty Boyer Chiprean JOHN W.

After the invocation by Dolores Dres-sel, the most important part of the banquet appeared—the food. Then for the lighter side of the program Pauline Hallstein both toasted and roasted the boys as she read her tribute” to them; nor were the girls forgotten, for in a clever speech Bill Titus gave them high praise. Mr. Dryden led in the group singing of some of the more popular tunes of the day, and Pistol Packin’ Mamma” made the rafters ring. The Girls’ Trio sang Begin the Beguine” and Tea for Two”. The seniors were then privileged to hear Miss Winifred Sullivan of the fa culty play a piano selection, Rhapsody in Blue”. A solemn air was then introduced into the festivities as Frank Badger gave his tribute to the A Senior boys who are in the armed services. The guest of the evening, Chaplain Forest Rogers of the Deshon Hospital, presented an interesting talk on the passing grades” needed for real success in life. After the Alma Mater, Marvin Apple, toastmaster for the evening, invited all to attend the dance which followed the banquet. The B Senior class officers and many of the faculty were guests of the A Seniors. According to tradition, the January graduating class held its Farewell Exercises on Friday, January 14, in the regular assembly period. These exercises mark the last meeting of the graduates as a class and were particularly distinctive this year because for the first time the program was broadcast. The exercises opened with Teresa Nigri at the organ playing the Alma Mater. The flag ceremony, conducted by Mr. Nicholas, followed the devotions led by Jane Ellen Langbein. Richard Nicholson discussed the various activities of the class. Dorothy Keasey presented the A Seniors who had received A and B certificates for the semester. The names of the boys who earned varsity letters in athletics were read by Edward Zemyan. Sheriff Troy C. Burns presented the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ award to William Kirkpatrick. This award is given to the boy outstanding in scholarship, athletics, sports- manship, character, and school citizenship. The award was accepted by Jane Kirkpatrick in behalf of her cousin, who is already studying at Allegheny College. The corresponding award given by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars was presented by Mrs. Mont Thompson to Vivian Klugh. Mary Alice Barker entertained the assembly with a vocal solo. The list of Who’s Who in the class was read by Jane Ellen Langbein. Graduates who had participated in dramatic and musical programs were presented by Sallee Lou Renner. Those who participated in out-of school activities, including the YMCA and YWCA, Boy and Girl Scouts, civilian defense, and Junior Service Members, were introduced by Carolyn Mclndoc. The Girls’ Trio, consisting of Mary Alice Barker, Grace Foster, and Evelynita Gumpper, sang several selections. Miss Sullivan presented the Tuesday Musical Award to Jacqueline Drane and Mary Alice Barker. Suzanne Sutton received the DAR award presented by Mrs. George Thompson. This award is presented to the student outstanding in civics. Announcement was made that Marian Stanger had received the Ritts Scholarship and had also won a scholarship to Allegheny College as a result of a competition examination. A tribute to the boys in service was given by Vivian Klugh accompanied by Jacqueline Drane at the organ. Vivian Roen presented the class gift which was a cash contribution to be used for erecting a memorial, at the close of the war, to those of the student body and faculty who will have served in the armed services. Dr. C. E. Miller brought greetings to the class in behalf of the board of education and Richard Gumpper welcomed the graduates into the high school alumni association. Dr. Wiley reminded the graduates and assembly of the debt each owes to those who are fighting to keep America free; he echoed the words of Prime Minister Winston Churchill that never have so many owed so much to so few. The program closed with the assembly singing the Alma Mater. The Farewell Exercises were in charge of Mrs. Virginia Correll, a faculty adviser of the graduating class, and Jane Ellen Langbein, chairman of the Farewell Committee. 45 -as Gcitttntitte.e.4. -- fjanua uf, 194-4- As in preparation for longer and higher flights, the cadet must learn to cooperate with every member of his crew; so the A Senior prepares for his flight into new fields by serving on committees.

PanJie'i u Me+nafUa+n Ensign Jean E. Parker was the first Butler County woman to die while in the services of the United Armed forces. She had been a mathematics teacher here at the Butler Senior High School but at the time of her death was on military leave as an instructor at the Naval Reserve Midshipmen’s school at Smith College. She was a great student, friend, and teacher, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was an adviser of the class of 1944. Memory of her fine character and excellent teaching will be cherished by those who felt her influence. Your ideals and your thoughts live on, With us, who, for a little while Were near you, and who heard you speak. Who watched your quick and ready smile. Your ideals and your thoughts lire on For these were such that will not die— But when you went, as Markham said of Lincoln, You left a lonely plate against the sky! 54 tf-aculty AdiU e i'i Mr. Herron Mr. Herron is the instructor in 301 who enlivens Modified Physics with his slow dry humor. He also has charge of the public address system and the film machines. If movies are shown, the student body can thank Mr. Herron for seeing that the film is on hand and the equipment in order. Each year he trains a number of teachers and students to run. the various machines. Mr. Herron received his degrees from Grove City College and the University of Pittsburgh. He enjoys people, teaching, good books, except modern poetry, and fine photographs. He likes to travel by car and has visited the New England States and Canada. Mr. Stevenson Mr. Stevenson is an instructor in two difficult branches of higher mathematics, trigonometry and geometry. He is patriotically working in a war production plant after school hours. At the present, Mr. Stevenson is living on a farm seven miles from Butler and must drive this distance every day to school. He enjoys reading and is a member of a church choir. Alaska holds a fascination for him; he says that he would like to teach there were he not already instructing at Butler High. Mr. Stevenson received an A. B. at Muskingum College and also attended Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh. He also has the distinction of having a young daughter in the June class. Mr. Palmer Nelson P. Palmer is the man around Butler High who wears a camera about his neck. You see him here, there, everywhere; for it’s Mr. Palmer who gets most of those interesting pictures that adorn the Magnet. He is the faculty business adviser who assures the students of Magnets of the same fine quality W. B. Herron despite war-time shortages. Mr. Palmer is, first of all, a physics teacher. He has seventeen years of teaching natural science to his credit. His demonstrations are most interesting when accompanied by his witticisms and humorous remarks and the fun which he himself gets from them. Vacations are spent at his cottage in New York state. M rs. Correll Virginia Weisenstein Correll was not so many years ago graduating from Butler High. She was valedictorian of her class, a member of the Magnet Staff, and a joy to all her instructors. She received her degree from Wooster College and is now an instructor in English. She spends many of her recreational hours in reading. Her chief ambition is for the war to end as her husband has been stationed in the South Pacific for over a year. Mrs. Correll is quiet and unassuming but is sympathetic and many a senior knows the wisdom of her advice. She expects the best of everyone; her pet hate is an insincere person. Nelson P.

The speakers chose as their subject Wartime Aviation. Michael Di Tullio, valedictorian, will lead and summarize the discussion, adding something concerning post-war aviation. Other members of the panel and their subject are Alan Forsythe: War Planes, types and uses. Patrick McCarren: Training Airmen. Winifred Cunningham: Great Air Feats and Heroes. Donald Miller: Special Construction, designs and building. Glenys Rauschenberger: Special Equipment and Safety Devices. Dorothy Schlagel: Women in the Air. It is hoped that an authority upon some phase of military aviation can be obtained as a speaker. 86 'lUe 'Ua'iiety Slto-ui The audience sat waiting for the stupendous, super colossal, cure all—the Variety Show sponsored by the mighty A Seniors. The house lights dimmed; the crowd quieted; and out walked Pat McCarren, the master of ceremonies. He announced those well-known Butler performers, Richard Bertocki and his accordion, accompanied by Teresa Nigri at the piano. They opened the show with a popular song, Besame Mucho”. A trio consisting of Amelia Nigri and Richard Bertocki, accordionists, and Teresa Nigri, pianist, played Smile Polka”. Amelia and Teresa then played a composition entitled Stumbling”. Virginia Reamer did a delightful comedy tap dance. Then came a serious number, In the Still of the Night”, sung by the Girls’ Trio—Nancy Green, Poppy Dengler, and Lee Green. The boys couldn’t be outdone by the girls, so on came the Boys’ Quartet composed of Wilbur Dum-baugh, Roy Hoch, Don Fines, and James McCormick. They gave out with their versions of I Had a Dream, Dear”, O Talk about Jerusalem Morning”, Down by the Apple Tree”, and Joshua Fit’ the Battle of Jericho”. The famous Barefoot Bobcats from them thar hills” consisting of Ken Jenkins, banjo, Jim Jenkins, guitar, and Sam Graham playing that instrument well-known to all the best lunch rooms (two soup spoons), gave their rendition of music in hill-billy style and really made the notes fly. Ellen Breese entertained with a tap dance; after which Dorothy Woodrow sang three popular songs. My Heart Tells Me”, The Man I Love”, and How Sweet You Are”. The curtains closed and then opened on that dainty little lass, Miss Betty Lou Loucks, who did the ballet of The Waltz of the Flowers”. The Girls’ Trio sang Lover Come Back to Me”. The Floor Dusters —Keith Hoover, Ken Jenkins, Sam Graham, and Ken Graham, doing a novelty rollerskating act, were the main attraction of the show. After hanging by each other’s necks until all were dizzy, the boys decided to call on volunteers from the audience. Five boys walked up the steps to the stage and later staggered down. Next on the program was a Ukranian folk song, The Nightingale”, sung by Mary Selinsky wearing a beautiful costume from the Ukrane. Alexander Shott and Mildred Lon-chena in colorful folk costume presented a folk dance. Mary then sang The Song of the Dneiper River”; after which Alexander and Mildred did another folk dance.

Bell 3(£ MA.e'iA Anna H. Brier Miss Dell M iss Brier An exponent and expert on all things mathematical is Miss Jean Bell. This quiet, pleasant teacher is always glad to get students who like mathematics well enough to get some fun and satisfaction out of it. She received her A. B. degree from Grove City College and her M. A. degree from Columbia University. Gardening is her hobby. She delights in working among her flowers and vegetables, and in reading, cooking, and playing the piano chiefly for her own enjoyment. Miss Bell dislikes prolonged dry weather and little boys who spoil her flowers. She has visited Mexico and Canada and has been as far south along the Eastern Seaboard as South Carolina. Yellowstone National Park, however, remains her favorite of all the places she has visited. She has served as co-chairman of the June ’44 senior class. A graduate of Butler Senior High School is Miss Anna Brier, the smiling homeroom teacher of 217. She teaches bookkeeping and typing with an ease and assurance that mark her as one of our best commercial teachers. During the summer, after her work with summer school students is finished, she spends her time swimming and hiking at the seashore. For winter relaxation, she enjoys good musical comedies. Her greatest ambition is to have a trip to South America. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Geneva College and her Master of Arts Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She has also done post-graduate work at the University of New York. Recently she was voted Vice-president of the Tri-State Commercial Education Association and is very active in the work of that organization. Miss Douthett Although there are no silver teaspoons and china tea cups in 311; nevertheless. Miss Alice Douthett has a hobby of collecting them. She enjoys traveling and says she will never forget a trip to New England. She has, however, sacrificed traveling for the duration in order to help BHS, for she teaches American and English literature and has no particular ambition to teach anything else. Working as co-chairman for the senior class, she is kept busy, as usual. She spends her spare time (what little there is) reading, attending plays, and listening to good music. Housework and smart” remarks are her pet peeves. To work with young people successfully is her chief ambition, and her pupils can testify to her ability. 96 Mr. McDowell Jim” McDowell, a graduate of Butler Senior High, has started his twentieth year as a member of the faculty. He is a graduate of Gettysburg College. During the day, he teaches economics, law, and American history; he is the originator of that famous battalion known as the Standing Army. After school, acting as assistant football coach, he teaches the boys some of the fundamentals of that game. The rest of his time he works at the Armco. His hobbies include gun collecting and puttering around in a home workshop whenever he has any spare time. For the last three or four summers, Mr. McDowell has been director of the Island Playground. Miss Harper Friendly Miss Jane Harper is homeroom teacher of lively IB. A graduate of Allegheny College and the possessor of an A. B. degree, she is one of several English teachers in Butler High. Her interests are many, but she especially enjoys a good game of bridge or a round of golf. Since she has no classes during the summer, Miss Harper spends some of her time traveling, often going to New York, to the East Coast, and sometimes to Canada. If, by any chance, you see two little boys in her homeroom, they are probably her nephews of whom she is very proud. She was faculty adviser of the B Senior Hop. Miss Harper has lived all her life in Butler and is a graduate of the local high school. Miss Gerber Teacher, aviatrix, and defense worker is Miss Frances Gerber, the guiding light of 102. This busy, smiling teacher has her hands full developing future homemakers. A few of the subjects she teaches include clothing, textiles, interior decoration, and child study. As hobbies, she collects pottery and is very much interested in aviation. Her ambition to fly to Europe and also to tour South America has necessarily been halted until after the war. Since Pearl Harbor, her time has been devoted to Civilian Defense and Ked Cross, chiefly working with Nutrition and Canteen Classes. Previous to that time, she was here and there in forty-four of the forty-eight states and in fourteen countries of Europe. When asked what her pet peeves were, she replied, Why waste time getting peeved?” 97 tf-aculty Elizabeth Hepler IdiuAeAA Mary A. Wigton M iss Hepler Miss Wigton The guiding mentor of 305 is Miss Elizabeth Hepler. This homeroom is often very trying with its antics, but she comes up smiling. She teaches Latin (called a dead language) and American history. Cooking is her favorite hobby, but she considers it a battle of wits, at the present time, rather than a pleasure. When she isn’t juggling ration points, she plays bridge, does fancy work, dr reads, preferably biographies and books on travel. Leisure and money permitting, Miss Hepler would like to travel in South America and the Mediterranean countries. She hopes it’s soon enough so that she won’t have to be hauled up the gang plank in a wheelchair. However, until that time, she has to be content with visiting closer home. A figure well-known to the commercial students of Butler High is Miss Mary A. Wigton. She labors hard to turn out well-qualified stenographers and typists. Her hobbies consist of collecting folk dolls and picking four-leaf clovers, when she can find them. If time hangs heavy on her hands, she gets out her scrapbook or amuses herself by sketching cartoons. However, during the summer she generally likes to shake the dust of Butler from her heels for a brief vacation in some of our larger cities or the fascinating West. New York with its bright lights, Boston with its higha culcha” are most attractive and interesting to her. Last summer Colorado drew her, and now she longs to go further westward over the old trails and beautiful highways. M iss I lervey Mistress of 308 is tall, dignified Miss Eleanor Hervey. Her outstanding hobby is collecting bells. She now has over one hundred made of glass, silver, copper, wood, pottery, and china, which came from eighteen different countries. Her pet peeve is rain on Saturday or Sunday when she likes to get out in her car. Her spare time is happily spent with a good book and plenty of chocolate candy. English is her subject, but she also holds a Master’s Degree in Latin. Miss Hervey is one of the teachers who cheerfully spends part of her summer teaching students of BHS who long for more learning (summer school to most students). August usually finds her recuperating on her front porch and, for a short while, near Lake Erie and Lake Chautauqua. 98 KIBITZERS—Mary Ellen O’Brien. Margaret Acquitino. Jean DeFoggi. Ardith Leslie.

The Magnet is a news magazine which aims to present the activities and achievements of those who make up the student body. It is published once each month from October to May, one issue being the Year Book. This year, as an innovation and as an assurance that everyone receives his year book, the senior issue is to appear in April instead of the last of May. The thirty some staff members are chosen from those students who show particular writ- ing ability and lively journalistic interests. As there is no journalism course, all the work must be done in special study periods or that precious free” seventh period. Staff members give a great deal of time and must often forego a desired pleasure, but no one seems to regret it. The good times, the friendly spirit, the unselfish cooperation—to say nothing of the groans and wisecracks—that prevail in 3C and 204 (the informal editorial rooms) will long be remembered by any pupil privileged to work on the staff. 105 NEW STAFF MEMBERS—SEMESTER II Back row, left to right: Richard Johns, Anthony Cehelsky.

During the first semester, a play with an all senior cast is presented; during the second semester, an all school production. From time to time throughout the year, radio plays are given as a part of the regular weekly assembly broadcasts over WISR. A very active and enthusiastic group of students participate in the public speaking classes which form the nucleus for all dramatic training. This department, as well as the plays, is under the able direction of Miss Allene D. Montgomery. To get away from the more stereotyped kind of high school play, or a serious dramatic production, the group turned this spring to a light burlesque form of entertainment which has been reviewed so successfully and popularized by summer stock companies during the last two seasons—the melodrama with specialties between acts, the hissing and booing of the audience, and tears and hand-wringing of the heroine, the chest-heaving of the hero, and the curses” of the villain—well, what could provide a more entertaining evening of relaxation? This year the first production was James Hilton’s Lost Horizon” which was effectively staged against a background rich in color, beautifully arranged, and effectively lighted. The audience was whisked across the ocean to Shangri-la hidden in the mountains of Tibet. The people who inhabit this unknown place live almost forever. The persons kidnapped and taken there were both amazed and fearful in the strange surroundings in which they were held. The success of the play was due to the untiring efforts of the cast and Miss Montgomery, the director.

There are a number of instrumental organizations: the Orchestra, two bands, and several ensemble groups. The Orchestra meets first period every day. Its repertoire ranges from popular numbers through semi-classical music to gems from opera and symphony. With a fine background of strings and numerous reeds, the orchestra has had a much better opportunity to present more versatile programs than heretofore. The group has appeared several times before the assembly, has broadcast over WISR, and has participated in the annual concert programs. The ensemble groups in addition to playing in the concerts have appeared in assembly and also before numerous clubs and organizations of the city. The steady thump of the drums, mingled with the whistling clarinets, the low-toned tubas, the brassy trumpets, the sliding trombones led off by the twirling batons—that is, the Butler High School Band. The band under director, Miss Lola Beving-ton, has achieved wide fame in Butler and in the surrounding districts. The members of the band enjoy music and fun. Last summer the A and B Bands rehearsed twice a week for nine weeks. The A group gave two outdoor concerts, one on the Fourth of July at the Penn Street field and the other at Institute Hill playground. The B group gave an outdoor concert at the Island Playground. This year the A Band has broadcast twice over WISR and has performed four times in assembly. The band played for all the football ORCHESTRA Buck row.

When the Pullman Standard and Bantam Car Companies were awarded the Navy E flags, the Butler High School Band was present to take part in the ceremony. This musical group also played for the dedication of the West End Honor Roll at Broad Street School. All the high school bands marched in the Hallowe’en and Armistice Day parades. The A group performed for the patients at the Deshon Hospital. A special group was formed to play at the basketball games this year.

Richard Drydcn ★ ★ ★ Ga+ice.'it Ghoisi One of the most important non-athletic organizations engaged in spreading the fame of Butler High is the Concert Choir. All students have heard them at one time or another, maybe at a concert, probably in chapel. Parents have no doubt heard them over a chapel broadcast, or at one of the civic clubs or concerts. They have sung for the Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, Women’s Club, and other community organizations. The choir is proud of the fact that it is considered by the music critics as one of the best in this section of the state. This group, numbering sophomores, juniors, and seniors, meets every fifth period under the direction of that genial maestro, H. Richard Dryden. Quite often, former members of the choir come in during the period to talk to Doc” and the group and to hear them sing, and maybe to sing along with them. Many graduates also write to Mr. Drydcn and the choir. This goes to prove what so many old members have said that more than any other subject or activity in school they miss the Concert Choir when they leave. That’s the reason the highlight of the concerts for old members is the time when Mr. Dryden asks them to come to the stage to sing Beautiful Saviour” once more with the group. That’s why members who graduate this year or any year will always think a minute when they hear Beautiful Saviour” sung. Concert Choir Back row. left to right: Robert Swart . Karl Sadlon.

V - - ■P - ★ ★ ★ A Gap-fze.lla Chain, The A Cappella Choir is ably conducted by Miss Winifred Sullivan. This year’s chorus has disclosed a great deal of new talent. The Chorus is arranged with section-leaders. These are chosen by the director, and their job is to listen to each individual of his own particular section sing his part and decide whether he sings it correctly. These leaders are Becky Campbell, Wilbur Dumbaugh, Betty Jane Glenn, Von I iampton, Ann McDowell, Jim Ward. Those who have been deeply touched on hearing the Nation’s swoon king” warble the hit Miss Winifred Sullivan tune O What a Beautiful Morning” haven’t heard a thing until the Choir has sung Miss Sullivan’s arrangement of it. But the Choir sings all types of music, light, gay, serious, classical, appearing to best advantage probably in the a cappella singing of religious music. The members of this chorus work very hard. They appeared in a special chapel program at Christmas time for both assemblies. They sang for the Kiwanis Club at the Sterling Club, and presented several numbers in the Spring and Fall Concerts.

The present Senior Hi-Y club was organized under the leadership of Mr. Douglas of the Junior High School faculty in 1940 and has been a strong organization ever since. In their sophomore year, Mr. Seyler took on the direction of the club. When the club progressed to its junior year, Mr. Yingling became its adviser. During this year, many important things happened. Among these was the collection of old keys to aid the scrap drive. The boys collected over one hundred pounds. This was also the year in which the club purchased a portrait of George Williams, the founder of the YMCA. This picture, together with the names of the boys who helped in the purchase, now hangs in the USO room of the YMCA building. For a time the club took over the direction of the Friday Night Club dances. Under their auspices the dances grew in popularity until they are well-known among high school students. The manpower shortage has been very hard on this Hi-Y. It gets an adviser, and before long he has to leave the club. As seniors, though, the boys were very fortunate in securing Mr. Clawson as their adviser. Mr. Clawson has many ideas and suggestions for the club and is the originator of many interesting programs. Installation is a high point in any club; this was proved at the February meeting when the boys conducted a fine ceremony using black robes, lighted candles, and emblems. The club has six of its members in the service: James Allen in the Marines; Robert Black, Alvin Dufford, and Pat McCarren in the Air Cadets Reserve; Harold Kapp and David Hunter on active duty in the Navy. The officers of the club are as follows: president, Michael Di Tullio; vice president, Howard Glass; secretary, Robert Eisler; treasurer, Robert Black; and chaplain, James Milsom. 119 SENIOR TRI-HI Back row. left to right: Patricia Gabany, Shirley Johnston, Jean Croll, Anna Mary Redd.

The members are trained to take an active part in community social service work. Girls of the Butler Tri-Hi have aided the Butler County Memorial Hospital staff by being on duty from 6:30 to 8:30 every evening for almost two years as YWCA cadets. The girls wear a uniform with white blouse and blue apron; these are the traditional colors of the YWCA. The clubs also have made favors for use at the hospital on different holidays. The Senior Club is trying to help Deshon Hospital in many ways, some of which are: spending Sunday afternoon entertaining convalescent soldiers, making favors for the trays of the nurses and men, making scrap books, and preparing carpet rags for making rugs. The club has also helped in other community activities. In the meetings the girls engage in various types of programs, such as listening to a speaker, working out a project, or participating in a social meeting. Each club has an adviser who acts as a companion and a guide. The Senior adviser is Mrs. Coulter; the officers are presi-dent-Dorothy Schlagel, vice president-Joan Perry, secretary-Pat Gabany, treasurer-Shirley Johnston. 120 SERVICE CLUB MEMBERS JUNE 1944 Rear row. left to right: Robert Eisler.

Dear memories of athletics shall always stay with me: The striped shirt of rushing referee The loudness turned to stillness as the whistle sounds The umpire’s quick decision You were out of bounds!” The heavy regular breath of players now at panting rest The coach’s shout, Come on, boys, let us do our best!” The sudden screech of ten quick-stepping feet The way the crowd shouts out and leaves its seat The throbbing blair of trumpets and of drums Each player’s scoreboard glance to balance sums; The Can’t hear ya” of straining cheerleaders Exhausting trys to please the loud pleaders The wavering notes of locker room quartets The silence after each barrage of threats; The swirling water in a swimmer’s wake The churning water of beginner’s fake The flying soap of every shower fray The frantic trys to make the straight hair stay; The way John Mixer gives his well-known shout A-l-1-----out! A-l-1------o-u-t!” The thrill of kickoff at football games Familiar players, their locker room names, The row of padded shoulders on the bench The shouts when their team mates are in a pinch The flash of players’ shining bright head gear The spirit of students heard in each loud cheer The buoyant thrill as vaulters clear the bar Each arm, so strong, that throws the javelin far The foremost goal athletics leave with me, To win them all or a better loser be. 123 BatfA,' AthleticA, Mn.. OjJjt and M'l. G'lai.'L Most of the credit for our football and basketball program this year must go to Bill Cross and John Ifft. Their task was made more difficult by the war, but with the material on hand they did a magnificent job. The duties of Coach Ifft are evident. He must spend long hours with the boys, correct their mistakes and diagram plays. Before each game he must stress the strong and weak points of the opposing team. The duties of the Athletic Director, Mr. Cross, however, are more compli cated. He must buy and care for the uniforms, prepare the schedule, obtain the gas from the ration board, hire the referees, and arrange for the trip to and from the games. Also included in his work is the printing and selling of the tickets. To these two men who helped make the season a success, Butler High School owes a great deal of gratitude.

There are two very good reasons why football, unlike some sports, will be here for the duration. First, it preserves the morale of the soldier as well as that of the home front worker. Most of our fighting men have at least one team that they think is tops; and this team, playing wartime football, takes their thoughts from the blood and guns of battle to something of a more pleasant nature. Enabling our men to relax their minds and bodies would be enough to insure its value, but football has still a greater purpose. The Navy has taken advantage of this by using football as a means of toughening their men. They are sending their trainees to small and large colleges alike, all over the country. The reason for the Navy taking such a step is evident. Football teaches a man how to take care of himself, how to give as well as take, and it endows him with a fighting spirit that is never lost. Above all of these, it teaches him to think and to think fast. On the ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ battlefield a soldier has to make split-second decisions; and if he has a football mind, w’hich is trained for just that purpose, he will have a far greater chance to come out unharmed. Wc could never name all the former football stars who are now heroes, for they reach hundreds and thousands. There are some, however, that wc can never forget. Nile Kinnick, All-American from Iowa, was killed in action in the South Pacific; Donald Jenkins, formerly of Missouri, has won various medals for distinguished service; Tommy Harmon, one of the greatest players of all time, has a Jap Zero to his credit. So they go on, some returning in glory, others gone forever, but all fighting with the same American spirit and determination. Perhaps the whole connection between war and football can be summarized by the words of Brigadier General Laverne Saunders, a veteran of the Pacific campaign, who says Our men never fold up and quit as you’ll find some of our enemies will. I guess our fighters have a football outlook on things. They know that no matter how dark things look that they still might come up with a forward pass and score.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 125 J tf-o-atludl cttUfblicf litd Butler—0 Mars—0 The Tornado showed lack of experience.

No more rushing home every Wednesday noon to devour the latest issue. Although he promises no chain breaking biceps, John Mixer, the local talent in this field, certainly does his best to make those flabby muscles firm. However, all this tutoring does not come gratis. For his services John demands a cake of soap and as any of his pupils can testify, a certain amount of cooperation. Although you may save on postage by accepting his guidance, you can’t skip installment 13 because you don’t have the pep. The course is administered twice every week, 36 weeks every year, for two consecutive years. The first four or five weeks serve as a conditioning period. You learn who’s boss, and why. One of the two periods per week is devoted to dunking. During these sessions you swallow uncountable gulps of water and begin to wonder how the world is going to employ so many pearl divers. You dare not complain about the temperature of the water, for even to answer the roll call with an Eskimo accent brings a reprimand in the way of sharp glances. Authorities encourage competitive sports, but don’t count on tiddlywinks; Mr. Mixer likes gruelling races. Some of the more resourceful among us, to escape this torture, feign various ailments such as boils, sunburn, poison ivy, and athlete’s foot. Dr. Mixer then proceeds to administer iodine. Everything gets iodine. Races in the Gym The following day you report to the gym floor. You look carefully under all the bleachers for human bodies. None. You feel relieved, either all those stories you heard must have been false or the janitorial service is very efficient. At the command to fall in, you form a line and do various callisthenics that are designed to build bodies and tear down morale. As you follow various other commands you discover a new talent. You are a contortionist. The elated feeling passes as you try to unknot yourself. Then teacher decides that the exercises were particularly bad today and passes judgment: 50 pushups. This is easy. All you do is lie on your stomach and push the gym floor about a foot downward and then ease it back and repeat. They drag out a mat. This is a bad omen. It means wrestling. Your partner never looked bigger. You mesh. You are under. Your opponent beams down, Am I hurting you?” You don’t answer; your foot is in the way. The last six or eight lessons are periods of recuperation. You learn how to administer artificial respiration. You sit astride your partner and push him about four inches into the floor. If you hear a crackling sound and feel the patient stiffen, you are pushing a bit too hard and have killed him. As the semester ends, you begin to feel normal once again. You have successfully completed the course but there is no graduation. You don’t break chains or bend bars. There is only a little yellow card, and you might break a piece of string, a small one.

SoUmmina 'leant In the armed forces the silent service is the submarine service, but in Butler High it’s Coach Mixer’s tankmen, the swimming team. Lack of popularity is attributed to the fact that swimming is not publicized as are other branches of sports. The members of the team, however, work as hard as participants of other sports. Endurance and initiative are two important characteristics of the champion swimmer. In many of the colleges, swimming meets draw large crowds and hold the center of interest among the winter sports. Although Butler has placed well in the diving and free style events to date, Coach Mixer declined to make any predictions but said he had a good all-round team”. He was particularly enthusiastic over the prospects for next year, observing that many members of the team are at present juniors. Several of the team were lettermen last year. Captain of the team this year is Roy Hoch. Other regulars are Day, Doerr, Dumbaugh, Hayes, Horvatic, Kerns, Leonhardt, Linnon, McMurry, M. Ufner, and Watson. The meets held at the local pool take place after school on the days scheduled. Although accommodations are not the best at the pool, spectators find each meet a thrilling event. Roy Hoch received the Storey Memorial Award for 1944. It was given this year in swimming, having previously been awarded in basketball and football. This memorial is awarded annually by the members of the Storey family in remembrance of the late J. B. Pappy” Storey, former athletic director at this school. Originated two years ago, the trophy was won by Robert Paffrath and the following year by Merle Iannotti. The award, presented to a senior boy, is based on prowess in sports, scholarship, and ability to cooperate.

Although they have not been many, they have been creditable and a fine seed of sportsmanship has been instilled. An informal summary of Girls athletics reveals the work and achievements of the 1943-44 year. SEPTEMBER JANUARY Basketball became the favorite topic this month. After a few discussions between instructor and students, it was agreed that teams would be picked and a girls’ intra-mural basketball league would be started in early February. A graduating senior, Vivian Klugh, was Girl of the Month. In spite of victory gardens and helping mother do the fall cleaning, the muscles of the girls at Senior High were still soft when the gym classes first assembled in September. During the first few weeks of gymnastic workouts, there was a general howl because of stiff limbs and arms; but by the end of the month, the girls could put Fritzie Zivic or Billy Conn to shame! OCTOBER Tucked away in an odd corner of the October Magnet was a headline ’'Girls’ Sports Break into Print”. The girls, for once contented, were full of spirits and hope, in anticipation of what was to come. NOVEMBER A mad scramble and scurry for arrangement of gym classes was still going on by the time the second issue of The Magnet came out. This month marked the opening of a special girls’ section in the Athletics Department. In this section, the first Girl of the Month was made known, Helen Gillis from 206. Students approved the gossip column, which also became a regular feature. DECEMBER Christmas vacation gave the girls a chance to rest their weary bones. Queen of December and Girl of the Month was Ann McDowell. The girls had the experience of working with a substitute instructor, Mrs. Mary Jane McBride, while Miss Heckert took a vacation to become Mrs. Elmer Stratton. FEBRUARY The public announcement of the girls’ basketball team was as follows: Dumb Bells—C. Berland, D. Bernsteil, L. Dengler, S. Goeltz, N. Hcnninger (c), M. Hutchison, J. Keck, Z. Schaffner.

Orihel, E. Kirk, M. Laborie, T. Lorenz, G. Daugherty, L. Bauers, D. Wonderly. The girl of the month was Sally Kradel from 113. MARCH After many fast and furious games the girls’ intramural basketball season had come to a close. The championship team was ...... Girl of the Month was Norma Staaf from Room 214. The Senior and Junior Life Saving classes were going on as usual. Senior Life Saving classes included girls sixteen and over. The Junior Classes were open to girls sixteen and under. 133 Hands. Up! APRIL The girls were getting excited about ping pong, one of the favorite games. Names were quickly being handed in to be put on the list as contestants. A round of badminton, similar to ping pong, was being started. I MAY Girl of the Month was Nancy Henninger from Room CW. The gym classes were in neat shape. Everyone was still having fun. The heat had slowed up the regular fast-moving routine in the athletic department. A Juniors were saying goodbye to tattered gym shorts and ragged shoes.

However, the most urgent call can’t reach you when your telephone is busy. More important, the burdens on the telephone facilities are ever increasing. New equipment can not be purchased as in the past. So, for the duration, you’ll be helping yourself and everyone else, if you will just be brief.

DARRYL ZANUCK’S The Purple Heart STARTING FRIDAY, APRIL 21 STARTING FRIDAY, APRIL 28 GINGER ROGERS Tender Comrade' Where Quality and Style Always Prevail 154 South Main Street SONNET TO MY MOTHER Mary L. Stokes She is my comfort in life’s daily storm: My weary head oftimes finds peaceful rest Upon the loving shelter of her breast; And oft at night when thoughts of day are warm, I think about the time she will be gone: Thoughts that I should not think, thoughts far too deep. That so disturb my rest I cannot sleep, ’Till soft white linings in the sky bring dawn And day is drawing nigh. Soft then I creep To wake my mother with a kiss from sleep. With day’s bright dawning and the sun’s warm smile I have my mother for another while. She is my comfort in my every sorrow— She is a dream that may be gone tomorrow. MUSIC Alice Mobley Of all the things I want to see or hear Before I leave this ever whirling sphere, I’d rather hear the music, be inspired By bards of long ago, who wrote, untired, The melodies with which their souls were fired. And while I write or play a paltry tune, I like to think of great men, and commune With Chopin, Mozart, Hadyn and the rest Who left with all musicians their bequest, And this wide world with lovely music blessed.
