' The cafeteria, where time out was taken for lunch, only to find it mixed with study for the coming afternoon classes. ' The library, with its bulging shelves where silence was decreeded and conversation reigned. ' The chemistry laboratory, where young pseudo-chemists and over- heated test tubes met their fate. 0 The print shop, in which busy hands and whirling machines turned out work material for all the schools in the township. ' The metal-working shop, where the clanging of hammers on the anvil told of preparation for future vocations. The trophy case, that tells the tale of many a hard fought battle which proved successful for the Panthers. The tick-tick of the typing room, where mistakes were always made on the last line. The home economics suite, where the girls made their clothes and learned that important art-cooking. Classrooms, in which cooperation between students and teachers was used to produce real work and actual learning. The auditorium with its amplifying systems, where everyone heard and saw o new program each week. The principal's office, into which many hapless pupils entered with shaking knees-only to find that lots of help and guidance came from the same source.

The o eed along the lin es of a military outfit contribution of fo ' ' , were the ur organizations and th l ey represented many hours o hard work by all the participating parties. The organizations, consisting of the Student Council, Student Body, Home and School Association, and School Board, raised the necessary large sum through donations and by holding social benefits. The band drilled and played at all the football games and besides they marched in the inaugural parade of Governor James at Harrisburg. The band was under the co-leadership of Mr. W. Clair Hower, music-master, and Mr, Robert I. White, drill-master. The school symphonic orchestra, consisting of some fifty odd students, completed another successful year under the able leader- ship of Mr, Walker D. Taylor, Chairman of the Music Department. Beside forming the backbone of the operetta, they found time to provide music for assembl y programs as well as for our Commence! ment Exercises. On December l7 th M , e usic Department presented an en- tirely new feature. lt had b een the dream of the music directors Eighteen al program. of Cheltenham to have some sort of combined music This year their dream came true in the form of what was called the Music Festival. lt was made possible through the combined efforts of all the musical organizations in the school. It proved to be such a social and musical success that plans for a similar program were made for the coming year. It will, no doubt, be an annual event at Cheltenham. Participating units in this festival were Band, Orchestra, Boys' Double Quartet, Girls' Double Quartet, String Ensemble, Mixed Chorus and the Brass Quartet. Features of the evening were the musical enactment of an old- fashioned country melodrama by the band with solo work by Donald Straka, and the presentation of Hiawatha, by a combined boys' and girls' chorus with a long and well presented solo by James Sefton. The conductors of the musical were Messrs. Walker D. Taylor and W. Clair Hower. The string Ensemble, commonly known as the Little Sym- phony, played at several special occasions during the school year. Under the leadership of Margaret Delp, the group met during and The were entirely without spon- after schoo sorship. , I hours to rehearse. y ORCHESTRA Nineteen ,A 151.1 1 STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row: Harker, Mueller, Zeigler, Zimmermann, Scott, Chapman, Wolgin, Apt, lsenberg, Greenberg, Carpenter, Pfeiffer, D.

HE Student Council organization operates under officers elected by the school at large and representatives elected by their re- spective homerooms. Due partially tothe diligent efforts of President Bernard Berlin and Miss Cora S. Neely, the sponsor, the council has had a most successful year. The homerooms have become more closely united as well as truly represented. Projects and major problems were well handled by the Research Committee, which was under the guidance of Franklin Schryer. Preston Parr, as chairman of the Assembly Committee, obtained programs that were of interest and enjoyment to all throughout the year. A new problem presented itself in the form of recording dances. With the belief that admission prices were too high for some of the students, and that recording dances were not very popular, the Activities Committee under Jack Dugan had a hard problem to solve. However, when the Football dance proved profitable, it was found possible to give another dance with orchestra with admission free. The few recording dances given at intervals during the year were pronounced successful. Student Council, with homeroom cooperation, did its part this year toward collecting money for the United Campaign. A sub- stantial sum was contributed and donated, Officers of Council were: President, Bernard Berlin, Vice- President, Franklin Schryer, Secretary, Anita Kelleyj Treasurer, Russell Conover, Corresponding Secretary, Myrna Kroll. Twenty HE National Honor Society is a select organization chosen by the faculty and chartered members. To be eligible for considera- tion a candidate must rank in the upper third of his class and must possess qualities of leadership, service, scholarship, and character. Not more than fifteen per cent of the senior or five per cent of the upper middler class are accepted to the society. The Cheltenham Chapter of the National Honor Society elected as its leaders, Preston Parr, President, Jack Dugan, Vice-President, Alan Franklin, Treasurer, and Gertrude Weinhold, Secretary. Returning from a vacation, Miss Christine Straub led the So- ciety in many school activities. With these activities, the members of the group endeavored to live up to the qualities they were subject to in their election. New members were admitted into the society on April sixth. Other activities for the year included the sponsoring of All- Vocotional Day and All-College Day, during which, conferences, led by recognized leaders in their respective fields, were held for the students interested in various phases of the occupational world. The Society ended a successful year with the annual alumni dinner held in the cafeteria on June l2. l 2.-. Top Row: Harris, C, Fox,Muel- ler, Wolfsten, Trapp, H. FOX, Leopold, Klenk.

L DELATO , in its thirtieth year of publication, in living up to its well-earned reputation by means of three excellent issues and the winning of a blue ribbon, first place in the Columbia Press Conference. The first issue of the year got under way with an absolutely new ond different make-up than that of the previous years. Contributions were many and varied, with several new authors. Superior indeed was the work of the fiction department, while the interviews were unusual and interesting. The poetry department, always rated high by its readers and judges, maintained its standing this year. Music, drama, and books were well-handled and informative, while a new department, Comments on the Passing Show, added much to the general aspect of the magazine, The EL DELATOR staff was headed by Jeanne Sipley, editor, and Kitty McKee, assistant editor, under the competent guidance of Mr. Weston. Department heads were Bobbette Sondheim, Jane Green, Howard Fox, Joon Hinlein, Arnold Swotes, Elsie Stybel, Ruth Sinberg, Dorothy Sperber, N Woldow, and Phyllis Eisenberg.

Both the Pennsylvania and Columbia Confer- ences rated it second, again barely missing first class. Last year the CHELTONIAN was divided into two organizations, and it remained that way throughout this school year. Sports and news writing were carried on under Miss Downes, while Mr. Chubb sponsored the feature pages. The staff was headed by Marjorie Simsohn and Joan Hinlein, as co- editors, assisted by page editors Muriel Hogeland, Miriam Howard, Gerald Crowell, and Ethel Zerbe.

Smith, Mcrtz, NIOR PL NDER the direction of Mrs. Margaret S. Jones, the Senior Class presented Petticoat Fever, a comedy in three acts by Mark Reed. The setting was a wireless station on the coast of Labrador on a Noe vember afternoon. Peppy Raymond Rafetto cleverly and amusingly interpreted the part of Dascom Dinsmore, the wireless operator, who was chased to Labrador by his many girl friends, where he found, to his dismay, there were no white women, This love-lorn radio man was finally rescued from his despair by the timely arrival of beautiful Ethel Campion, portrayed by Jeanne Siplcy, who perfectly filled the part. Ethel, or Jeanne as we know her, was accom- panied by her fiance, Sir James Fenton, Davis Smith to his classmates. This couple was forced to take refuge when their airplane failed them. Dascom was progressing nicely when Clara Wilson, his former betrothed, arrived after she heard that Dascom had inherited an estate. Clara is better known as Mary Jane Schorr, Bernard Plesser enacted the part of Reverend Arthur Shapham who at- tempts a double marriage but is foiled when Ethel faints at the altar. The predicament is settled when Dascom marries Ethel and Clara marries Sir James. Other members of the cast included Dave Mertz as Kimo, the Eskimo servant of Dinsmore, Jim Sefton as Captain Landrey, and Don Toner, Helen Reed, and Barbara Boyd as Scotty, Little Seal, and Snow Bird. Twcnty four FOR the tenth successive year, Cheltenham presented its annual Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta. The selection, for this year, fell on The Pirates of Penzance. A cast of fifty-eight, in collaboration with the school symphony or- chestra, made it a most successful production. The Slave of Duty, as the operetta is sometimes called, was por- trayed by James Sefton. The Pirate Chief, under whom the latter was duty bound, was well characterized by Donald Toner. Major General Stanley, the father of all the maidens in the drama, was well enacted by Bernard Plesser. Marjorie Conklin, who played the part of Mabel, the leading lady and youngest daughter of the Major General, thrilled those present with her lovely voice and gave many encores which were demanded by the audience. Cast in the parts of Samuel and Ruth, were Joseph Morrisey and Jean Franklin, both of whom did on excellent job. James Goodpasture was cast as Sergeant of the police and he and his companions provided many a hearty laugh. Doris Ashworth, Betty Burk- holder, and Jane Ayers played the parts of Kate, Edith, and Isabel. Music directors, Messrs. Walker D. Taylor and W. Clair Hower were assisted by Frank Rothwell, class of '33, who, for the first time, directed the show.

Lehman's gridders set a standard to be striven for in years to come. Outshining but not outscoring their lnteracademic loop rivals, the Lehmanites battled to a scoreless tie with Germantown Academy in the opener for the second consecutive year. Radnor was taken into camp, l2-0, and the following week saw Lower Merion reverse the charges, rolling up a like score. Bryn Athyn and Lansdowne both proved easy victims. In the interim between these last two matches, the Panthers held a big Upper Darby eleven to a scoreless tie. Cheltenham was the only drawback to the Upidah's perfect season as they won all their other games. The climax of the season was the Abington turkey day classic. Still smarting from last year's trouncing, Cheltenham rebounded to outplay and defeat a favored Abington eleven, l3-6. Although the Chelts led throughout the first half, the Galloping Ghosts evened the score at 6-6 in the third quarter. With two and one-half min- utes remaining in the final chukker, the Panthers snatched the game from the fire and gained sweet revenge. A buck pass from the ten-yard stripe carried the Chelts into pay dirt. Thirty-two HELTENHAM Pantherettes dribbled their way through a very successful l938 hockey season under the careful coaching of Miss Grace O. Hunter. The largest turnout in the history of hockey at Cheltenham caused Miss Hunter to establish four teams with still plenty of subs to spare. Captain Helen Rabiger led her girls to the opening game with Ellis College, which spelled a victorious l0-2 victory for the blue and gold lassies, This was followed by another victory, with Upper Merion the unhappy vicitim, and then a third triumph over Norris- town with a score of 7-l. For the first time in three years, Cheltenham hockeyettes bowed in defeat when Upper Merion defeated them by one slim point. Not allowing this to discourage them, the girls plowed on to defeat Jenkintown in their next game for the first time in three years, then drove on to defeat Lower Merion 2-0. Another disappointing defeat followed at the hands of Spring- field, when the Pantherettes bowed with a score of 3-O. The season, however, terminated with a grand victory over Abington by a score of 3-l. Most of the great strength of the team rested in the forward line, where most of the action took place, even in the losing games. High scorer for the season was Captain Helen Rabiger, with I9 points to her credit, followed by Schieber who scored IO times. All-suburban honors for l938 went to Rabiger, Ancker, Fisher, and Honeysett, while Hitchings earned a berth on the second team.

Saltzman's courtmen won ten out of NGING up one of the best records in Cheltenham basketb ll teen scheduled games and finished in the first division of the seven Suburban One League. Findin g the sterling competition of Eastern Pennsylvania Cham' pions, Lower Merion, not to mention Norristown and Upper Darby, toc tough, the Panthers had to be satisfied with remaining behind these three teams in fourth place in a nine school loop. One of the closest and most thrill-packed games of a close and thrill-packed season witnessed the Chelts nose out second place Norristown to the tune of 26-22. Although the Saltzmanites led all the way, there were times when the Eagles got too close for comfort. With four minutes to go, the locals were in the van by the slim margin of 23-22. Then a foul conversion and a timely lay-up shot pulled the Panthers ahead tothe final score. Champions of the Bux-Mont League, Jenkintown's Drakes eked out a victory over the Saltzmanites, 29-26, to steal the Old York Road title from under their very noses.

Under the coaching of Miss Hunter and the leadership of Captain Marion Honeysett, the team dribbled through two defects and just as many victories. Norden and Honeysett, veteran players, along with newcomer Salem, played forward positions, while Schieber, Landis, Rafetto, and Wesie Rommel comprised the guards. In the first game with Ambler, the Pantherettes felt the bitter sting of defeat by a margin of only four points, the score being 24-20. Then followed a second defeat at the hands of Springfield, this time a matter of five points, the scoring adding up to 32-37. Nevertheless, faithful practice and grim determination carried the girls through the rest of the season with victory, the first one being o triumph over Ellis College, by the startling score of 47-26 too. The last game of the year, with Oak Lane Country Day School, was a glorious victory since the Chelts beat the Owls by over two-and-half times the Red-and-White score-the final points reading 45-l6. High scorer for the season was Norden, living up to her last year's splendid record with 74 points to her credit, followed by Honeysett, who threw the ball effectively for 54 points. Thirty-five C.

ODUCING a state champion la ' Tom Boggs went undefeated throughout the e t' n ire season, triumphed gloriously in the local championships, and finally con' quered all opposition in the Pennsylvania State Championships to attain the highest honor attainable in the high school wrestling world-Pennsylvania State Champ in the 95-pound class. Joe Sckupakus and Joe Trapp, heavyweight and l65-pounder, respectively, were eliminated in the finals of this same tourney, but received silver medals for their efforts. In the l45-pound slot Phil Hofmann and Nelson Oswald at l35 also survived the District One finals, becoming, along with the three mentioned above, Suburban champs in their weight classes. As a team, the Lehmanites of the mats lto distinguish them from the Lehmanites of the gridiron? bowed to no one, winning every one of their six dual meets by at least three falls or fifteen points and running up a total of l56'z markers, thrice that ot their opponents. This invincibility brought them their fifth Sub urban Championship. ln the P.l.A.A. District One Championships they ran up a total of thirty-five counters, garnering their sixth P.l.A.A. Championship. Lower Merion finished second with seven- teen points. Thirty six C tories and three HELTENHAM'S mermaids paddled their way through two vic- defeats, proving form strokes their greatest asset during the i939 season.

Captain Anita Kelley led them in their first meet with Upper Darby, which ended in a defeat for the Chelts, Next followed a three-point victory over Norristown. Two more defeats were suf- fered at the hands of Haverford and Abington, then the lassies stroked their way to a grand finale by a decided victory over Lower Merion. The girls had a real opportunity to display their skill and prowess in their last meet with Lower Merion. The mermaids paddled to seven first places-winning all contests but diving.

TARTING off slowly, Coach John S. Marzucco's cindermen picked up speed as they went. Mr. Marzucco is new to Cheltenham this year, but his squad is improving steadily.

LTHOUGH the e no spectacular players this year, it was well balanced and did quite well, considering the tough schedule and certain other handicaps. The team was a little better off this year in the way of playing facilities, for two asphalt courts were built during the summer. The team is very grateful to Philmont Country Club, for it was on their excellent courts that the matches were played. Under the tutelage of Coach R, I. White, the team played eight matches in the Suburban League. For the first time the team had co-cap- tains, as Bernard Berlin and Jack Dugan shared honors. Jack Dugan played No. l position, Barney Berlin, No, 2, Dick Nicker- son, No. 3, Gene Arnold, No. 4, and Phil Hofmann and Dave Mertz comprised the doubles team. Defeating Abington 4-l was prabobl the sweetest victory tennis team possess d Y Forty BLUE AND GOLD tennis lassies welcomed back four veterans and two newcomers to the first team. Number one player for the lassies is Laris Ancker, second in line is Fields, while Rafetta and Salem-the two newcomers-place third and fourth. Anita Kelley and Marian Honeysett are partners in doubles. The first game played at Philmont started off the season with a bang when the Pantherettes defeated Lansdowne, 3-2. The first match between Ancker of Cheltenham and Benedict of Lansdowne, spelled a loss for the Blue and Golds, as Benedict took the first two sets 6-3, 6-4. The second match, featuring Fields for the Panthers and Hampel for the Main-Liners, brought a vic- tory to the farmer. Fields tucked the first two matches under her belt, 6-0, 6-3. Voigt, of Lansdowne defeated Rafetto of the Chelts by three hard fought sets, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Salem's victory over Benedict of Lansdowne ended the singles for the day after two sets, scoring 6-3, 6-2. The Pantherette doubles, Anita Kelley and Marian Honeysett, captured the lost contest of the day with an exciting, long-enduring set, which scored 8-IO, 6-l, 7-5. GIRLS' TENNIS SCHEDULE C. H. S.

The entire action takes place in what the students would like to call their ideal classroom. Included in the equipment is a radio which is used for such edu- cational purposes as the 920 Club and the World's Worst Program. We wish to state, however, that this is all a burlesque of a classroom and the enacted conditions do not really exist. ln our own little way we are having our final fling and wish to request that none of it be taken too seriously. CAST OF CHARACTERS HARRY HISCHOOL-Short hair-cut, dirty brown and white shoes, beer jacket, and crew hat. Possibly, a gold fish. LIZZIE LIKLIK-Neat as a pin, sucking a Iollypop.

JANIE JITTERBAG tears in, slams down books, and rushes to window. Hangs out and yells to someone outside. First bell rings. LIZZIE LIKLIK enters with a bedraggled bunch of dandelions, and places them in a tin cup on the teacher's desk. She then goes to her place and makes a pretense of studying. Janie continues to make wild gestures and to shriek to the invisible person on the hockey field. Teacher enters and gets roll book as second bell rings. The entire class, with the exception of Butch, pours in. Mary and Bud are hand in hand and pay no attention to the others. Everything is in a mad scramble. Half of the class sit down but the other half hang out the windows. The teacher checks them off in her roll book. MRS. SAMBERT: You must appreciate that the bell has rang! lLooks very stern and threatening. Class reluctantly sits down. Door opens and Butch tries to sneak in unobserved.l Albertl - Detention! lButch makes face and sits down. He has no books.l Albert! Where are your books? BUTCH: Somebody stole them. Seventy-four PERCY lWaving his handl: Please, teacher! They're in the Lost and Found. I saw them this morning. lEntire class lick-licks heaviIy.l MRS. S.: That will be enough! You will take out your note-books. lHarry, Mary and Bud immediately raise hands.J HARRY: Mrs. Sambert! May I go to my locker? MARY: I forgot my notebook too. May I go? BUD: Me too, Mrs. Sambert. MRS. S.: You were warned before hand to bring your books to class. Get them and goto detention this afternoon, lThey eagerly rush out.l A Today we are going to review the Hysterical Background. You must appreciate that-lDoor opens and Joe Tropp hurriedly walks in-suddenly realizes he's in the wrong class, grins at everyone and walks out.J lMrs. S. continues in a very stern voice.l We are going to review the Hysterical Background today no matter how many interruptions we have! IDoor opens and Harry prances in. Pulls GaIe's hair-ribbon as he goes to his place. Mrs. Sambert stares at him a while.J Are you about ready? lHarry squirms and she is about to begin when Mary and Bud enter. They sit down and the class grins at them.J MRS. S. lGetting just a wee bit angrierl: This is a classroom, not an amuse- ment hall. - lUnobserved, Butch and Janie start matching pennies.l We will resume the Hysterical Background. HISTORY MRS. S.: You will put down the dates I936-l937. lCIass takes copious notes.l Under the general heading of Ralph R. Leuf, sponsor, put Jack Dugan, President. BUTCH lRaising his hand and scratching his head.l: How many O's in Dugan? DASH: Two. MRS. S.: llgnoring both and continuingl: Under Dugan, list class party and class play. Are there any questions? GALE: Yes, what was the name of the play? HORTENSE: Why, Curse You Jack DaIton. Didn't you know that? MRS. S: This was one of the few Junior plays ever presented in the school. Can anyone tell me for what it is most remembered? lSeveraI people raise hands.J LIZZIE: I know, teacher. Jim Sefton's false mustache fell off when they threw o glass of cold water in his face. MRS. S.: Correct. Now, under Roman numeral two put Upper-Middler Year, I937-38: and beside that put Bob Duckwitz, President. BRENDA: Oh, that was a simply divine year! PERCY: Oh, definitely. MRS. S.: You must appreciate that at this time the class put on their first official dramatic production. Beside A under Roman numeral two, put Charm SchooI, by Alice Duer Miller. Under that put Margaret S. Jones, coach, and Davis Smith and Jeanne Sipley, stars. DASH: Remember that old car! Boy, did it rattle! BUTCH: Yeah, Dash. Just like yours. MRS. S.: After that put down Upper-Middler Senior Reception. The most important thing to remember is that it rained all night. SADIE: Anything else? lCIass glares at her.J MRS. S.: About the some time came the class rings. You must appreciate that during this period a new trend in rings was introduced. Seventy-five 'Door opens and Lyn Walters enters with a handful of pencils. Pays attention to no one in room. Sharpens pencils and walks out again.l BUTCH lAfter a moment of dumb silencel: Heh, heh. MRS. S. lGlaring at him 'Z Must l wait for you to be quiet? lButch is subdued' MRS. S.: And now you will put down under Roman numeral three, the last and most important heading: Senior Year, l938-39. PERCY: Oh, myl This is getting interesting, teacher! lClass lick-licks heav- ily.l Well, it tisl MRS. S.: Under this heading you shall, of course, put Dick Nickerson, President. LIZZIE: Did you say Nickerson under Senior Year. HARRY: Of course, dumbhead. LlZZlE: Who's a dumbhead? Mrs. S.: This class will come to order. lThey quiet themselves.l Now there is one very important item which occurred in this period and which you should all know. lShe looks expectantly at the class but they seem bewildered. Then all of a sudden dawn breaks on the face of Butch and he excitedly waves his hand.l BUTCH: Oh, Mrs. Sambertl I know that onel That's the Abington game! lThe class gets excited too as they recall this unforgettable event.l Gee, was that a game. l3-6. tHe reminiscences fondly.l HORTENSE: Maybe so, but it was freezing cold. CLASS: Nyaaaaaaa. MRS. S. lGoing right on and pretending to ignore theml: After Abington game, write Senior Play. Can anyone tell me the name of the Senior Play? 'Several raise hands, but Lizzie answers.l LIZZIE: Yes, Mrs. Sambert. The play was Petticoat Fever and it was writ- ten by Mark Reed. CLASS: Siddown. MRS. S.: List also Margaret S. Jones, director. PERCY: ls there anything else, Mrs. Sambert? MRS. S.: Of course. List the following as stars: Ray Rafetto, Jeanne Sipley, and Davis Smith. lClass copies names.l You must appreciate that this was one of the most important events of the year and was the only dramatic production run entirely by the Senior Class. Now, also at this time, the Seniors were having their pictures taken for the class yearbook. This was also a major activity of the class. When the pictures arrived it proved to be perhaps the most humorous undertaking the class had yet begun. GALE' I wouldn't call my picture funny l'd call it sad IM S . . . rs. . stares at her a moment.P Mrs. S.: Now there was also another very important activity of the class which l feel you should know. It had a very great effect on the class, socially and financially. That event was the Senior Dance. George Sommers' orchestra pro- 'd d th ' vi e e music, and many have declared it to be the best Senior Dance ever given in the school. JANIE: Oh, the Commencement Dance tomorrow night will be just as good- if it doesn't rain. HARRY: Who cares if it rains? SADIE: Well,I do. MRS. S. lSternlyl: If l do not finish this Hysterical Background now l shall be forced to do so after school. lClass quiets itself.l .Now, we have finished the major activities and the next item we shall take up is the customs and characteristics of the class First however l wa t , l - 1 , n you to appreciate the differences between classes of this period and our own present classes. Seventy-six BUTCH lSadlyl: The other classes had a Washington Trip and we didn't. MRS. S.: Correct. Now under Part ll we shall discuss the customs of the class. Hortense, can you give me the customs as to the dress of the people? HORTENSE: Why, yes. Dirty brown and white shoes, crew hats, loud socks and junk jewelry. And then some of- HARRY llnterruptinglz And the girls had up-hair. Oh, pardon me, Hortense. lHortense makes a pretense of ignoring him.l HORTENSE: And then all the boys thought they had to look as sloppy as possible. BUTCH: Whattaya mean! HORTENSE: Well,-some of them. MRS. S.: I think that about finishes the customs as to dress. Can you give me some more general customs? lCIass is thoughtful for a few moments. Harry raises hand.l HARRY: How about Michoel's and VeigeI's? They're customs, aren't they? BUD: Yes, and how about goldfish swallowing? MARY: Don't be silly. We didn't take that up. PERCY: Thank goodness! Horribly boorish custom. HARRY: What do you mean horribly boorish custom ? Why for two cents I could swallow more goldfish than all the college boys put together. BUTCH: Can you change a nickel? lReaches in pocket.l HARRY: Well--uh-well, not right now. You see, I HAVE TO BE IN THE MOOD. MRS. S.: This discussion is getting us nowhere. I want you to settle down. Do any of you have any more suggestions? LIZZIE lRaising handl: I know! The custom of electing the honorary member. MRS. S.: Yes. And who is the honorary member? CLASS: Mr. Marzucco! MRS. S. lBeaming at this responsel: The last topic is one which I feel you should all understand in order to appreciate it at its best. And that is the Yearbook. The Yearbook, as you know, is a non-classical literary masterpiece-or, I should say, a photographic masterpiece-. It is supposed to represent the class of I939. The person who is chiefly responsible for the success of the book is Albert E. Weston, who successfully brought it through its darker moments. How- ard Fox was chairman of the Yearbook, and with an able staff backing him, he will have the Yearbook out tomorrow. lJanie and Harry begin to tinker with the radio. Every once in a while bits of swing music and so on can be heard.l Will you kindly stop fooling with that radio? lJanie and Harry look abashed.I We will have a quiz on the Hysterical Background in ten minutes. You will go over your notes until that time. lShe sits down and marks papers which are on her desk. Janie and Harry fuss with radio. Percy and Lizzie study industriously. Mary and Bud whisper to- gether. Somebody gets out a Cheltonian and the rest of the class read over his shoulder. Brenda hauls out her lipstick. Lizzie gets up and goes to teacher's desk. Everyone licks-licks heavily. Then all of a sudden the radio bursts forth with the following: IRADIO: We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. At- tention, everybody. A rocket ship from Mars has just landed in the near vicinity of Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. We advise all residents in this district to remain Seventy-seven within their homes, not that it will do any good, but it might help. lThe class immediately becomes very excited and uncontrollabIe.J BUTCH: Where'd they come from? SADIE: Ohhhhhhhhh de-year. MARY: Budl What are we going to do? BUD: Don't worry, Mary. l'LL take care of you. BRENDA: It's a publicity stunt. MRS. S.: lkushing frantically aroundl: Don't get excited! Don't get excited! Everything will be perfectly all rightl BUTCH: lf they start anything, l'Il handle them. DASH: The best thing to do is to keep calm. We'll know soon enough if there are any Martians around. JANIE: Oooh goody. Men from Mars. HORTENSE: l don't believe it. HARRY: Then why are you shaking? HORTENSE: I'm NOT shaking. Besides you look a little pale yourself. DASH lWho has been looking anxiously out the windawl: Heyl Look at thisl lThey all crowd around.l BUTCH: Jeepers-Creepers! HARRY: What kind of a ship is that? BRENDA: lt must be advertising something. JANIE: That's no advertising stunt. That's the Martians. Yippee! lShe jumps around delightedly.l GALE: What are we going to do? We can't get away now! LIZZIE: Lookl They're coming inl MRS. S.: Here? lPercy crawls under teacher's desk and she follows him.l BUTCH lTrying to kid himselfl: Aw, they co'n't hurt ME. DASH: You know, I don't think they're so ferocious, One of them is coming in now, and he doesn't look as if he'd hurt us. BRENDA: Well, l wouldn't say he was PRETTY. DASH: Now, everyone be calm. SADIE: Ohl l'll never live through this. HARRY: Sissy! DASH: Now, everyone take it easy. Here he comes. lDaor opens and Martian leader enters.l LEADER: Greetings gatesl JANIE lDumfoundedl: Huh? LEADER: ls this the Senior class of Cheltenham High School? SADIE: Ooooooh dear. DASH: Yes, sir. HARRY: How does he know us? LEADER: I know everything. JANIE lln a small voicelz Everything? LEADER: Everything. lHe bows.l Pardon. lHe crosses to windows and calls to other Martians.l You can come in now. They are all here. lTurns and smiles at everyone.l HARRY: Are you, are you from Mars? lLeader bows,l Well, how did you get here? LEADER: My dear boy, the Martians can get anywhere. They see everything and there is nothing that they do not know. lHe bows again.l Mrs. Sambert crawls from under the desk.l Madame, will you please be seated? Seventy-eight MRS. S. lln a small gaspl: Ohl . LEADER: And will the rest of you please be seated? lNumbly they take their laces.i P You seem to have guessed that l am from Mars. lThe other Martians enter.l These are my fellow slugs. You are probably wondering why we have come here. PERCY lCrawling from under the desk and acting very important, now that he realizes they intend no harm.J Yes, my good man. I think you owe us an explanation. HARRY: Sit down, Plumhead. lPercy sits.J LEADER: You see, we have quite a busy little place up in Mars. We can see everything that is going on in Earth and there is nothing that we do not know! BUTCH lln a weak voicei: Nothing? LEADER: Yes, we know about all those times you cut class, Butch. We also know that you got Janie to write you excuses from home. lButch and Janies exchange sick glances.P You see, in Mars we are living in the future. It is exactly the year l959. ln Mars when we look down at you, we not only see you as you are now but as you will be in l959. BUTCH: What? LEADER: I can see that you don't understand me, Butch, so l'lI explain. When we want to see how our neighbors in Earth are getting along, all we have to do is to look into our special Electro-Vision machine and there you are. LIZZIE: All of us? LEADER: All of you, and really, Lizzie, it doesn't do you any good to lick-lick around Mrs. Sambert because she sees right through you. lLizzie turns beet red and Mrs. Sambert smiles.l But to get back to what l was talking about. Mars is a very unique place. You see, in Mars we really live two lives: our present life and our future life, and if you're not careful you'll get them mixed up. BUTCH: l can see that. HARRY lTrying very hard to understandl: You mean you know what you are going to be twenty years from now and you're living that life some of the time and yet you're living your present life, too? LEADER: Exactly. HARRY: Do you feel all right? LEADER lSmilingJ: l always feel all right. A Martian never gets sick. But it's not so hard when you really get the hang of it. We've allotted certain times for the future and certain times for the present. Usually, however, we're so bored with the present that we're always living in the future. BUTCH: But suppose you have no future? LEADER: Everyone has a future, Butch. BUTCH: Well, why do they always tell me that I don't, then? LEADER: When we want to see you we simply look into our Electro-Vision machine and there you are. And if we want to see you as you will be in the future we simply press a button and the scene changes to twenty years from now. JANIE: You mean you can look into that thing and see what all of us will be doing in l959? LEADER: Exactly. JANIE: Well, for goodness sakesl HARRY: Could you look into that thing naw and tell what we'll be doing? LEADER: I certainly could. Hey, Joe, bring it in. lTwo of the Martians go out and bring in the Electro-Vision machine.J Seventy-nine If you don't crowd too much you can all look in the machine and see for your- self. Then you'II know we're speaking the truth. HARRY: Oh, boy! I wonder what I'II be doing! HARRY: Listen, Hyhat- LEADER: Silence! 1They are immediately subdued.J Only two persons can look in at one time. Butch, would you like to help me? IButch beams and struts all over the place because he has been singled out for this honor.I PROPHECY LEADER: Now, is everyone ready? Here, Butch, you look in here and l'lI look in here. IThey look in machine.I Aaoohhh. Who is this I see. It's Margie Hazlehurst. She seems exceptionally happy. Now, if it gets just a little clearer so I can see the background-Yes, it's just os I thought. She has finally been admitted to the freshman class at Vassar. Now I'II switch the scene to Washington. Maybe some of your class has en- tered politics. Why, what's this? There's the President of the United States and it's Jack Dugan! lThey all gasp as if they cannot believe it.I But that isn't all. His mother has just finished writing, aided by him, a book entitled My Boy Jack. PERCY IHopefuIIyI: Is there anyone else down in Washington? LEADER: In one moment-Ahh. Here is the Supreme Court. And there is William Thompson. He is water boy to the nine old men. GALE: Water boy! LEADER: Water boy. BUTCH: Oh, boy! You should see this. Dan McGowen has just won the Pulitzer Prize. BUD: Dan? What for? LEADER: For his book, Marry Young and Like lt. But hold on! This should interest you. It is a Cheltenham High School graduation, and Dan Calebaugh and Harry Tucker are among those who have received their diplomas. LIZZIE: Imagine. HARRY: Haven't they graduated yet? LEADER: And now I see an exclusive riding academy. Who could the owner be?-Why, it's Viola Uetz! She specializes in ponies for C. H. S. students. Now l'Il push this button and see what happens. Why, there's Bob O'SuIIivan. He's a bartender. His customers are very fond of him and call him O'Toole. You would not recognize him. He is very fat. The next vision is rather jerky. What could be causing it? Oh, now I under- stand. I see another radio program. It's Information Please and Alan Franklin has taken over Clifton Fadiman's role as conductor. He seems to be having quite an argument with one of his guest experts. It sounds like Doris Samter-it is Doris Samter. And instead of answering the questions she's asking them. BRENDA: Well, I can see that Doris won't change. LEADER: And neither will the next person I see. It's Ann Hunsberger, and she has at last grown up. At least her hair is turning gray. BUTCH: Heh heh. 'Leader glares reprovingly at him.I LEADER: But now I see that someone in your class has realized his ambi- tion. Dave Smith is understudy to the lead in the latest WPA production. His hair is still as wavy os ever. Eighty PERCY: Gosh, hasn't anyone made a success of himself? LEADER: Of course, Percy. For instance, I see Peggy Beach. She has trav- eled extensively ond is now giving lectures. And here is Bobbie Manogue. She and Bruce are still unmarried but intimates are saying that it will only be seven more years. DASH: What happens to John Mueller? LEADER: I do not know what will happen to John Mueller, but l see radio station WPEN. The announcer for the 920 club is broadcasting and it is John Mueller. But what's happening now? The scene is changing to a restful college back- ground. lt's Harvard University and there is Barbara Boyd. She's housemother at one of the houses. HORTENSE: That doesn't surprise me. LEADER: And now l see screaming newspaper headlines. Ray Johnson has just been exiled to Mexico for trying to teach communism to innocent little children. HARRY: I bet it started with his A.S.U. MARY: Are there any people who have gone abroad to live? LEADER: Now if you'lI wait a minue l'll switch the Electro-Vision to Europe. Here we are in the south of France. B?UTCH: And there's Engel Vogan at the Riviera. lTo Leaderlz What's he doing. LEADER: As far as I can make out, he's a professional gigolo. Yes, that's what he is. He's opened up a one-man escort service. His slogan is Good For Nothing But Love. But let's return to this country and see what's going on in New York City. There's Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe. Featured player is Helen Reed. HARRY: Oh boy! BRENDA: What's Joan Wilson doing? LEADER: Joan Wilson? Let's see now. It's hard to make out. Ah, I see Joan very clearly now. She's still undecided. She's the most popular of the college widows. She takes in every college this side of the Mississippi. But now, l'd like to see what will happen to Ray Rafetto. HARRY: Oh, yes. What will happen to him? CLASS: Quiet! LEADER: Quiet? No, he's not quiet. He's the King of Swing. Benny Good- man and Krupa, who are trying to make a come-back, are taking lessons from him. But the noise is too much. l must change the scene. And who's this? BUTCH: That's Bertha Kellam, but what's she doing? She seems to be work- ing awfully hard. LEADER: She is working hard. She's society editor for the Harlem Gazette. But I see another column. It's Walter Winchell and-lto Butchl could you tell me who that is working with him? BUTCH: Sure, it's Anna Rule. Say, she's Winchell's Girl Friday, isn't she? LEADER: That's right. Rumor has it that she'll take over the entire column when he retires in a few years. And there's Elliot Prival. He has decided to take a course on How to Take Candid Camera Pictures. DASH: Well, for goodness sakes. ls he still doing that? LEADER: And now I see someone else. It's Wilbur Lupton. He is a very serious student of stage and scenery work. FERCY: O, I know why! CLASS: Siddown. Eighty-one LEADER: But I think I've spent enough time in doing this. I haven't told you our real mission. We are going to take you back to Mars with us. IThe class stare at him with drooping mouths.J LIZZIE: Wh-wh what? LEADER: I can see I've taken you by surprise. HARRY: Oh, I wouIdn't soy that. ISarcasticaIIy.I LEADER: You see, Mars needs some modern youth. All our boys and girls study very hard and are very scientific but they never seem to get very much fun out of life. So we decided that the students of Cheltenham High were best equipped to teach them to enjoy things. ISeems amazed ot the indescribable expressions on the faces of the group.I Why, what's the matter? IThey continue to look bIank.I Oh, you'lI receive the best of care. And I'II bring you back os soon as you've done your job. JANIE IAfter quite an embarrassing pauseI: Well, it would be something different, but-- LEADER: But what? JANIE: Well-are there any handsome men? LEADER: Hundreds of them. JANIE: I'II go. BRENDA: Me, too. DASH: Yes, but what about everyone else. I mean the people who don't go. BUTCH: Yeah, they'Il miss us. HARRY: Now wait a minute. ITo LeaderI You're just catering to the girls Are there any pretty women there? LEADER: Confidentially, they all look like Hedy Lamarr. HARRY: When do we leave? BUTCH: Oh boy! DASH: Now wait a minute, fellas. I'm serious. What shall we do about every- one else. I mean the ones who can't go. PERCY: I know. We can just draw up a will and leave everything to them. And then when we come back we can take it all back again. JANIE: Indian giver. HORTENSE: That seems like a pretty good idea to me? How about you, Brenda? BRENDA: Divine. HARRY: Okay. We'lI draw up a will. Come here, Percy. l'Il dictate and you write. IThey stick their heads together.J SADIE: Well, I still won't want to go. I've never been away from home at Christmas in my life. GALE: Yes, I'm not so keen about going, either. LEADER lTo other MartiansI: I thought this was going to happen. Go out and bring in the bribes. LIZZIE: What did you say? LEADER: Nothing at all. But I have some nice little presents for you and when you see what they are I don't think you'lI wont to stay around here. HARRY: Here's the will. BUTCH: What did you put in it? HARRY: Now don't get excited, I'lI read it.
