We pledge in love and devotion, Our loyalty to you. We will ever live to love thee, Live to praise your name, Strive to make our lives add lustre To your glorious fame. May thy name be e'er resounding Through this land so freeg And may it kindle our souls again With gratitude to thee. Don Meiser, '32, E Em X Page 16 GIINKGO, 1932 Fri- THE SEN IORS' FAREWELL Farewell to thee, dear Cratton High, We sing, but not without a sigh. You've cared for us so long and well We love you more than we can tell. For happy days we've spent with you, We promise that we'll e'er be true. And your great gift of friendship rare Will help us all our burdens bear. The thoughts of you we'll e'er hold dearg The thoughts of you will always cheer. We'll try to do what you want us to That we may bring you honor due.

Should you like to know someone who is pretty, sweet, and sympathetic? Well, that person is Belva. Belva is a good sport and is always willing to lend a helping hand. She is a member of the office practice class and is quite helpful to Miss Campbell. When Belva comes to the dances, she invariably brings some one from New Castle. Good luck, Belva. ROXANNE ANDERSON Pep Club, '29, '30, '32, French Club, '30, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '32. Rixie left us last year to go to Birmingham, but she came back again. We can't tell you how happy we are that she did come back. There is someone especially glad to have her here again. Rixie has beautiful curly hair and pretty clothes. Al- though we don't hear much from her, we all know and like her. Glad you came back, Roxanne. ROSALIE BAKER Pep Club, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '30, Phy-Chy Club, '32. Have you ever seen a gay, giggling person being half carried down the halls by two faithful companions? That's Rosie-re- covering from her operation. Rosie is one of the most vivacious members of our class and is always ready for a good time. Even though Rosalie lives in Crafton, we believe that Ingram holds attractions for her. BEN BALL Orchestra, '30, '31, '32, Tennis, '31, '32, Spanish Club, '30, '32, President, '31, Vice-President, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, National Honor Society, '31, '32, Editor-in-Chief of GINKGO, '32, junior Editor of CINKGO, '31, Editor-in-Chief of News Staff, '31, '32, Editor-in-Chief of Explosion, '31, '32, Presi- dent, lunior Class, '32. Ben is the tall scholarly-looking lad who has shown us all something in the way of grades. He was the big noise in the Ex- plosion, the school paper that everyone reads with pleasure. Don't get the idea that Ben is all scholar, for he scrapes a mean fiddle, and plunks a banjo at the Social Hours. Keep up the good work, Ben. MARIORIE BEGLINGER Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '30, '31, Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, National Honor Society, '31, '32, GINKGO Staff, '31, '32, Riding Down the Sky, '31, Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '30, '31, Girls' Chorus, '31, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32. Have you ever heard a high-pitched giggle and turned to see who was laughing? Yes, you will find it was Margie. Margie makes life enjoyable for her friends by her bright and sunny dis- position. She is a good student and is very prominent in school activities. She was one of the first members of the National Honor Society. Margie is also talented in music. Does Miss Cowley really know what she is doing when she mentions Ashta- bula so often in Margie's presence? -','iTlGINKG0, 11932 P88219 PHYLLIS BLAIR Track, '29, '30, Glee Club, '3O. When you see Phil laughing bright and early Monday morn- ing, ask her where she has been over the week-end. She travels towards the west. Did you ever see her dance, or hear her sing? Someday we'll see her name on Broadway. This young lady does not come to school regularly, when she does come, she always has her lessons. We wish you success, Phyllis. WILLIAM BLUM Bill, one of the newest members of our class, comes to us from Carnegie High, Crafton's rival. Even though he did come from this school, we are glad to have him with us. His spirited argu- ments with Miss Vogeley almost roll the members of the class into the aisles. Anyone with Bill's persistence and becoming blush is sure to succeed. We are with you 100722, Bill. IENNIE BOLICH Pep Club, '30, '31, Treasurer, Pep Club, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, Treasurer, Leaders' Corps, '32, French Club, '30, '31, Na- tional Honor Society, '32, Treasurer, CINKCO Staff, '31, Ex- plosion Staff, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '30, '32, Allegheny County Commercial Contest, '30, '31, Office Prac- tice, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, jennie is our idea of the answer to a teacher's prayer. Besides being a good student, lennie is a great help to Miss Campbell in the office practice class. jennie is very trustworthy, and you can see she is appreciated for she has been elected as treasurer of both the Pep Club and the Leaders' Corps. Did you say you were looking for Jennie? Well, there's janet so jennie must be just around the corner. GENE BOTT Hi-Y Club, '31, Gym Club, '31, Riding Down the Sky , Band, '30, '31, Mixed Chorus, '30, '31, Boys' Chorus, '30, '31, Glee Club, '30, Football, '32, Baseball, '30, '31. Here is one of the less serious members of our class. Ooky does work sometimes, and he manages to pass most of his studies. He played center on the football team this year, and did a good job of it. This year Ooky has had no little interest in the moon and stars. Who knows that he will not be an astrologer some day? Hey, Chuck! SELMA BREAM Pep Club, '29, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, '32, French Club, '30, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Clee Club, '29, Senior Class Play. Have you seen the tall blonde with a wonderful coat of tan? That's Semi just back from a trip to Florida. Selma left us for several months' visit, much to the deep sorrow of all of us, and one male member of the class, especially. Selma makes a habit of visiting-one of her favorite places is Annapolis, and she makes a hit there just as she does everywhere. Glad you're back, Semi. Pagezo WGINKGO, 193215,- MARGARET BREEN Pep Club, '30, '31, Gens Togata, '30, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Glee Club, '29. Peg is the clown of our class. If there is any devilment to get into or any teacher to tease, Peg is there to do it. She is the most carefree girl in the class. The only things, we believe, that Peg takes seriously are basketball and tennis. She plays both well. We believe if Peg would take her school work seriously, she would make a success of it. Good luck, Peg. HAROLD BROWN Boosters' Club, '29, Hi-Y Club, '30, '31, '32, Anne's Little Affair , Youngest , Mixed Chorus, '30, Boys' Chorus, '30, Glee Club, '30, Football, '29, Basketball, '29, '30, Baseball, '29, '30. Brownie is the black-shirted boy from Ingram. We wonder if he has any connection with Mussolini. That Brownie is pro- ficient in everything he does is proved by the fact that he is a letter man in football, baseball, and basketball, and that he has taken part in two class plays. He is liked by teachers and stu- dents. Miss Ford would be lost without him in her public speak- ing class, and we are sure that at least one of his classmates would be lost without him. Good luck, Brownie, RICHARD BRUNT Hi-Y Club, '29, '30, Spanish Club, '31, Student Council, '29, Gym Club, '31, '32, Mixed Chorus, '30, Boys' Chorus, '30, Glee Club, '31, '32, Football, '29, '30, '31, Baseball, '30, '31, '32. Dick is very conscientious about his home work. He goes about five miles out of his way every night to do it. He is very good at solving conundrums. Holding down the quarterback's berth, Dick showed much ability on the football field during the past season. We might add that Dick is a great chemistry worker. JOSEPH P. BURBY Class Officer, '31, Glee Club, '29, Football, '3l. In every class there is a quiet, dignified member. In ours, loe plays the part. Courteous to all, joe has made a host of friends in Crafton. He is admired by everyone, even those who do not know him. joe has made a mark for himself in Crafton athletics, having won his letter as tackle on the football team. We wish you all the luck in the world, joe. CHARLES CAMPMAN Hi-Y Club, '30, '32, Spanish Club, '30, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Orchestra, '29, '30, '31, '32, Band, '31, '32, Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Boys' Chorus, '31, '32, Glee Club, '31, '32, Boosters' Club, '32. . Have you ever gone into Davis' Drug Store and seen a soda- ierker with a complexion that sells bars and bars of palmolive soap? Well, that is Chuck. However, soda-jerking isn't his only pastime, for he plays a violin, a sax, and studies enough to get himself through classes without worrying. GINKGO, 193213 P89621 GERTRUDE CANNON Pep Club, '31, '32, Allegheny Commercial Contests, '31, Office Practice Class, '31, '32. Gertrude is the tall girl with the beautiful black wavy hair and the fiery temper. Every day from the country-from Ingram -she comes to school. We are glad that she joined us because she has proved to be one of our best basketball guards. Although she lives in Ingram, she believes Crafton has its good points. Don't take our teasing too hard, Boom-Boom. THOMAS CIMINEL Football, '30, '31, Tom is one of the many boys who may be seen running up the car tracks from ldlewood every morning. Perhaps we can attrib- ute Tom's ability on the gridiron to these strenuous sprints, for running is supposed to keep a person in trim. Tom is also a good host at parties, especially football celebrations. Some time we may see a sign bearing the legend, Ciminel's Night Club, the Hottest Place in Town. IUNE ROSE CLINTON Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Gens Togata, '30, '31, Explo- sion Staff, '31, '32, Mixed Chorus, '29, 30, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '29, '30, '31, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Tennis, '32, Office Practice Class, '31, '32, lune is the attractive little girl who comes from ldlewood every day. She is one of our good students. This year, june is one of our star basketball players. Although lune takes a great in- terest in her school work, she has an outside interest too. WILLIAM S. CREIGHTON Spanish Club, '30, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32. Bill is one of the silent, thoughtful members of our class. To see Bill pondering over his trig or learning poetry is an inspiring sight. Even though Bill hasn't much to say, he says enough to get him through all of his subjects and to win many friends. We're with you, Bill.

Haven't you seen the big inspiring figure wrapped up in a bass horn in the front line of our band? Or perhaps you've seen a camel's hair coat, a hat, and a pipe coming up from the Duncan Avenue region. ln either case, the person is Huck Crennell, an all-round good fellow, admired by everybody. Good luck, Huck. Pagezl GINKGO, 11932 l3 ROBERT DAVIS Hi-Y Club, '30, '3l, Gym Club, '3l, '32. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mr. Davis, Mr. Ape Davis. lf this young man can't get a laugh out of you, you should see a specialist. lf it weren't for Bob, in the company of McCance, wouldn't some English classes seem dull? Bob is a good book- keeper. He says so himself. Shouldn't you like to read one of those letters from Seton Hill that he carries around? ROBERT DEAHL Treasurer, French Club, '30, '3l, Phy-Chy Club, '3l, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '30, '3l, '32, Boys' Chorus, '3l, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Forensic League Contests, '30, '3l, '32. Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have Mr. Deahl, successor to Caruso. Bob is one of Miss Gayvert's latest finds in the musical world. He is a tenor. Besides being a singer, he is one of our best students. He shows us all a few things in the scholarly way. just imagine turning on your radio and hearing, Bob Deahl will now sing, 'Was That the Human Thing To Do?' WILLIAM DILLON Spanish Club, '3l, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, GINKGO Staff, '32, Gym Club, '32, Basketball, '32, Baseball, '3O. Here we have the big blond playboy of the class. Bill gets a big kick out of life, but even though he fools in class, he man- ages to get through all right. He showed his ability as an athlete this year on the basketball floor, playing a nice game as varsity guard. Someday you will be appreciated, Bill. lANE DOLAN Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Explosion Staff, '3l, '32, Glee Club, '29, Office Practice, '3l, '32. lane is the lucky possessor of beautiful copper-colored hair.

Amy is a quiet, serious girl, and even Miss Vogeley can't make her laugh. Amy devotes her time and talents to art, and we are proud to have such a good artist in our class. Although Amy is quiet, she is liked by everyone that knows her. Last year she had all the girls excited about someone not in this school. We know you'll be a great artist some day, Amy.

May is the other outstanding athlete of our class. Being a wonderful guard, she does not allow many field goals made through her. just ask any one who has played forward against her! She is also a valuable member of the tennis team. She is one of Miss Campbell's helpers in the office. We hear she is inter- ested in-well, someone. RUTH EVANS Pep Club, '32, French Club, '32, National Honor Society, '3l, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '32. Ruth joined our class just last year. She came to us from Uniontown and has proved a valuable addition to the class. She has made friends with everybody, and everybody likes her. How- ever, this young lady has time for other things besides studies. We understand that she has a weak spot in her heart for croon- ers. Good luck, Ruth! AURORA FLOCCO Pep Club, '29, '30. '3l, '32, Glee Club, '32. With her quiet ways, Aurora has won many friends during her school career. She has a softly modulated voice and is seldom heard shouting above the continual din and roar of C. H. S. But even if she is quiet, she has a good sense of humor and gets many a laugh out of our silly pranks. We all wish her luck. DOROTHY FOGEL Pcp Club, '31, '32, French Club, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '3l, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '32, Dorothy wends her way from lngram to good old C. H. S. every morning-or almost every morning. Dot is the lucky possessor of beautiful golden hair which has inspired Miss Vogeley to give hcr the name of Goldilocks. Dot also has a personality and disposition that are in accordance with her hair. Although Dor- othy is quiet in school and answers only those questions that are asked her, we all appreciate her.

Among her chief occupations are listening to piano music, diving, and studying. Each one of these brings her ample returns: music feeds her soul, diving strengthens her body, and studying develops her mind. ls it any wonder that Dee is a wonder?

On the surface Mary Margaret seems to be quiet and shy, she really isn't. She is full of fun and is always ready to take part in any of our pranks. We like to have such a jolly person around us. She is a big help when there is any office work or mimeographing to be done. May success be yours, Mary Margaret.

Eleanor is the energetic and able president of the Pep Club. Oogie is very dependable. When she is assigned to some task, we know that it will be accomplished speedily and well. Miss Campbell also recognizes this fact and has enlisted Oogie in the ranks of the office practice class. ls it true that Oogie is interested in automobiles, preferably Buicks? Or is it a Buick driver in which she is interested? THOMAS GARDNER Hi-Y Club, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Gym Club, '31, '32, Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Boys' Chorus, '31, '32, Glee Club, '30, '31, '32. What-a-man Gardner! He is the muscle-bound boy whose physique causes so many feminine hearts to go flip-flop. On any gym day Ted can be seen soaring on the rings, or showing every- body else up on the horizontal bar. Even though studies are one of his lesser ambitions, he gets along.

Here, my friends, is one of our best science sharks. l think Bill should have met Galileo and had a talk with him. Bil1's hobby is making electric motors with pins, paper clips, and whatnots. Besides science, Bill gets through his other studies well. He is widely known and liked by everyone. ALLEN GORE Spanish Club, '31, '32. Al is the original Big Man from the South, without the cigar. He came to our school a couple of years ago from Kentucky. Al's Ah kaint pronounce this word has been heard almost daily for three semesters in Mr. d'Ambrosi's Spanish class. Ever since Allen joined us we have liked him. -w+i:iGINKGO, 1932 P33625 WILLIAM HACKMAN Hi-Y Club, '30, '3l, Spanish Club, '30, Phy-Chy Club, '30, Gym Club, '3i, Band, '30, '3l, '32, Boys' Chorus, '32. Here we have silence personified. We haven't heard Bill's voice often enough to know what it sounds like. He does make some noise, however, for he blows a trumpet in the band. To the people who know him, Bill is the best of fellows. Bill may be seen after school walking up the hill about two blocks ahead of ff I 'I-1' everyone else. CHARLES HACKNEY . Phy-Chy Club, '3l, '32. Chuck is one of those Ingram boys who may be seen hang- ing on the side of a certain green Ford. He doesn't say much in the schoolroom, but when he gets out, he can hold his place with anyone. Even though the teachers have some difficulty in getting him to answer, he passes all of his subjects. We might add that Chuck is an ardent student of chemistry. MYRNA VESTA HANNAH Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Gens Togota, '30, Volleyball, '3l. Vesta is our aspiring young Problems of Democracy teacher. With her many questions, Vesta keeps Miss Cowley busy talking. She not only asks intelligent questions, but she often gives valu- able information. This young lady is tall and slender, has waved hair, and wears pretty clothes. Her cheery smiles and greetings make her a delightful person to know. Good luck, Vesta. IESSIE G. HARDY Pep Club, '29, French Club, '30, '3l, Orchestra, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '32. lessie is Miss Gayvert's able school pianist this year. We know not what we should do without her. Besides being valuable as a piano player, Jessie is a good rooter. Being a sure cure for the blues accounts for her host of friends. lessie can take life seri- ously and can get down to business when it is necessary. ROBERT HARPER Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, Boosters' Club, '32, Bob is the man who drives about fifteen fellows to school from the wilds of Ingram. We think his borough ought to buy a school bus for Bob to drive, in order to save wear and tear on his little green Ford. Even though Harp is inclined to be the playboy type, he does get along in his school work. Page 26 GINKGO, 1l932f3 ' CARL HECKLER Office Practice Class, '32. Carl is the cute little red-haired feller who comes to C.H.S. all the way from Greentree. Red is one of Greentree's Bigger Business Men, as he is the Greentree Newspaper Company, lnc. Keep at it, Red, you might take Mr. Hearst's place some day. Carl's deep bass voice may be heard chirping out answers in all of his classes. Good luck, Red.

Roy is another who comes from the little village of Greentree. The name Heckler is often heard in connection with the name Bennett, we think that Roy does not take shorthand. He has shown much ability on the basketball floor this year, playing, at one time or another, all the positions on the team. Don't forget, Roy, we expect you to keep the earth comfort- ably warm. MARY HOLCOMB Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, Leaders' Corps, '31, French Club, '30, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, National Honor Society, '32, Rid- ing Down the Sky , Class Play, '32, Mixed Chorus, '30, '31, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '30, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Soloist, '32. We are proud to have a girl like Magy in our class. She is a very talented young lady, both in music and dramatics. Of all her performances, she has made a great success. But Mary has time for other things, for she is always at the social affairs. We hear that she is interested in the Navy. We hope you don't get the mal de mer, Mary. BOB IAYME Hi-Y Club, '29, '30, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '29, '30, Student Council, '30, '31, GINKGO Staff, '30, '31, Gym Club, '30, '31, Boys' Chorus, '30, '31, Football, '29, '30, '31. Bob is the fellow behind the goggles in the little checkered Ford that comes down the hill every day. Bob's business is auto- mobiles, his relaxation is school. He played on the football team for two years, and one year when he was, ah-indisposed, he was a cheer-leader. About school Bob is a well-known man. GENEVIEVE IOHNSTON Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Spanish Club, '30, '31, '32, Basketball, '30, '32. Genie is the pretty farmerette who comes from Greentree every morning. Being carefree and happy she attracts many friends, girls and boys alike, however, a certain somebody from Greentree attracts her especially. Genie has shown her Thes- pian ability by appearing in two plays, once as leading lady. We all know she will be successful because of her pleasing per- sonality. GINKGO, 193259 P88227 THELMA KNITTEL Pep Club, '29, '32, Girls' Chorus, '30, Glee Club, '29, '30, '3I '32 Do you see that b!ue car coming over the Oakwood Bridge? That's Thelma's. Thelma is one of those lucky persons who ride to school every morning. How we wish that we could get a ride so often. Thelma is a very quiet girl and we hardly ever hear from her outside of class. However, she is always ready for fun and gets a big kick out of Miss VogeIey's ready wit. IOHNATHON KNOUFF Phy-Chy Club, '3I, '32. Bob is a student of the silent type. We are prone to associate him with a shining Dodge sedan that is inclined to sputter and fuss at the wrong time. Although Bob is very much interested in art, he has not as yet decided to be an artist. We hope you'll be successful in whatever you undertake, Bob. EDWIN C. LEHEW Hi-Y Club, '29, Gym Club, '3I, '32, Football, '31, Ted is the quiet-spoken lad who causes so much disturbance in English class. Even though he doesn't know much about Eng- lish, he knows many other things, and manages to tell them in class. If Ted is quiet in the schoolroom, he makes up for it on the gridiron. Although he is not very big, he is one of the best guards Crafton has had in a long time. FRED LEWIS Secretary-Treasurer, Hi-Y Club, '3l, Vice-President, Spanish Club, '3I, Student Council, '30, Sports Editor, GINKCO, '32, Gym Club, '3I. Here we have proof that good things come in small packages. Fred, about five feet tall, and with a growth of hair about one inch long, is known by everyone. Ferd was on the basketball squad, and he added new life to the game whenever he played. He also is a good pupil who passes his subjects with good marks every year. We wonder what the attraction in Ingram is. ALBERT C. LOWRY Phy-Chy Club, '3I, '32, Explosion Staff, '3I, '32, Gym Club, '32, A conscientious student, a fine gentleman, and a true friend is Al. He is cheerful and good-natured. He smiles before and after all exams, he is far too kind-hearted. ln short, A. G. L. ex- emplifies lngram at its best. Page 28 GINKGO, 11932 RUTH MAGEE Pep Club, '29, '3O, '3l, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '3l, '32, French Club, '30, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '3l, '32, Senior Class Play. Have you ever seen that pretty little blonde with the dimple in her chin? That's Ruthie. We take the liberty of calling her by that name even though we know that a certain person has a copyright on it. Besides having a very becoming dimple, Ruth has gay, twinkling eyes that tell of a laughing person beneath. She is a very lively young lady with many interests. ls her chief inter- est a Tom, Dick, or Harry? WILLIAM B. MCCANCE Hi-Y Club, '3l, Spanish Club, '30, Orchestra, '30, '3l, '32, Band, '30, '3l, '32. Bill is that playful little fellow, of about one hundred and seventy-five pounds, who hails from Idlewood. He blows an over-sized saxophone in the band and a smaller one in the or- chestra. We wonder what Miss Vogeley or Miss Cowley would do without him. Well, everyone can't take life seriously. Can they, Bill? THOMAS MCCARTHY Hi-Y Club, '29, '30, Spanish Club, '30, '3l, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '3l, '32, Gym Club, '30, '32. Mac is originally from Buffalo, New York. If you want to know anything about the Pennsylvania Railroad, just ask him. Between his trips to Buffalo over the week ends and his trips to Ingram every day, he doesn't have much time for anything else. However, he manages to study sometimes. Tom is a valuable member of our class, and we're glad to have him, even though his heart isn't in Crafton. DOROTHY MAE MCCULLY Boosters' Club, '3l, Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '3l, '32, Spanish Club, '30, '3l, '32, Explosion Staff, '3l, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '3l, '32, Cvirls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '30, '3l, '32. Here is one of the most happy-go-lucky girls we have ever known. She is usually laughing, and gives evidence that she is enjoying life. By her cheerfulness and helpful ways Dot has en- deared herself to all of us. Although Dorothy is always ready for fun, she is always ready with her lessons too. We expect great things of her in the future. Luck to you, Dot. PAUL MCEACHRAN Hi-Y Club, '30, '3l, '32, Spanish Club, '29, Phy-Chy Club, '29, President, Gym Club, '3l, '32, Ann's Little Affair , Foot- ball, '30, Basketball, '29. We are glad to have Paul back with us after his adventure in business. Although Paul was never a member of our varsity teams, he was always there helping. However, if letters were awarded the boys in the Gym Club, this young man would be decorated. Do you remember Ann's Little Affair ? Well, the good-looking boy who played the lead was Paul. lf we were to describe Mac in a few words, we would say that he is a gentle- man, a square player, a good actor, and a boy with appeal. Good luck, Paul. GINKGO, 1932 P83229 EDNA MCGILVRAY Pep Club, '30, '31, '32, Spanish Club, '30, Vice-President, '31, Secretary-Treasurer, '32, News Staff, '31 , Explosion Staff, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '31, '32, Student Council, '32. Sharon surely lost a most delightful person when Eddie came to live in Crafton. With her pretty eyes and charming smile, this young lady has won many friends-boys and girls alike. She is always ready for fun, and her gay, ringing laugh is heard often in the halls and class rooms of good old C. l-l. S. We give Eddie our best wishes for success. OLA MCGRAIL Pep Club, '29, '30, French Club, '30, '31, Advanced Latin Class, '32, Debating Team, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '29, '31, '32, The Youngest. Ola is one of those girls who take their school work seriously but who are always ready for some fun too. She is welcome in any crowd because of her ready wit and gay laughter. She is so good-natured that she has never been known to be angry. Having speaking ability, Ola delights us with her recitations. BETTY MCGREGOR Boosters' Club, '30, '31, Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, '32, French Club, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, GINKGO Staff, '30, Band, '30, '31, Glee Club, '29, '32, Senior Class Play. Betty is one-half of the famous couple, Nell and Betty. Betty is one of Mr. Parfitt's star chemistry students. She usually makes the highest marks in the chemistry tests. Besides being a chemist, Betty takes an active part in athletics. Last year she captained a championship volleyball team. We wish Betty much luck. We just know she will be successful. MARGARET MCKEON Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, '32, Spanish Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, On first beholding Margy, you might be inclined to think that she is a quiet, sober young lady, but on a closer look at those sparkling eyes, you find she is neither quiet nor sober. Margy is not serious, she is gay and happy. She is very dependable and handles all her responsibilities well. She has long been well known around C. H. S. for her pretty clothes.

Don .is one of the most likable members of our class. Everyone knows and likes Mope. Although he gets a flock of A's every month, Don finds time for many activities. He is not only an im- portant member of the school band and orchestra, but is also pianist of an outside orchestra. Keep up the good work, Don. We're with you. Page 30 GIINKGO, 11932I9 ' PAUL MORRIS Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Paul is the big chicken farmer from Ingram. Between thinking of his chickens and figuring out new chess plays, he doesn't get much time for anything else. He is always seen with Harper, his chess partner. His black curly hair causes many sighs to escape the members of the fairer sex, but he just won't give them a break. Stay with your poultry, Paul. lt's a good racket, DOROTHIE MONTGOMERY Pep Club, '29, '3l, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '30, '31, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Boosters' Club, '32. Dot is that tall blonde girl from the Heights who honors us with her presence about 9:30 every morning and 1:15 every noon. Besides being very attractive, Dorothie possesses a lovely soprano voice which, they say, has great charm for certain per- sons. She is also a good student and has proved a valuable addi- tion to our class. Good luck, Dot ! RICHARD E.

Here we have Crafton's banker, musician, and athlete. Dick is one of the best saxophone players that ever attended Crafton High School. He surely can play those melodious tunes that put the social hour dancers in ecstasies of joy. When it comes to basketball playing, Dick is no laggard. For the last two years he has been one of the mainstays of our class team. There is one weakness in his life, of that we shall not speak. We all like Dick, for he is a great fellow. HELEN MITCHELL Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '30, '31, '32, Phy- Chy Club, '31, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32. Helen is another member of our class who comes down from the hills. Since she always brings fun and laughter with her we are always glad to see her. She is a marvel at performing chem- istry experiments. Helen is also athletically inclined. She plays guard on the senior basketball team and has helped us a great deal in winning our games. We hear that Helen prefers tall people. MARGARET NEESON Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, French Club, '30, Girls' Chorus, '30, Glee Club, '29, '30, In spite of the fact that Margaret is just about the quietest girl in our class, we all like her. Every day she comes down from Crafton Heights to grace our school with her presence. We are always glad to see her. We are sure that a welcome awaits her wherever she may go, for her winning way will always make friends for her.

Kay is that tall girl with the lovely wavy blonde hair and pretty clothes. Kay is a musician, and she can always be depended upon to know the latest song hits and their words. School work doesn't bother Kay--much. We are inclined to think that Kay takes Miss Vogeley's teasing too seriously. WALLACE NOAH Phy-Chy Club, '3l, '32, Student Council, '32, Treasurer, Gym Club, '3l, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Band, '29, '30, Mixed Chorus, '30, '3l, '32, Boys' Chorus, '30, '3l, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Football, '30, '3l, '32, Baseball, '30, '3l, '32. Skinny is the kind of fellow who is good in everything he does. ln school Skinny does enough work to get good grades. This might be attributed to the eligibility rules governing ath- letics. He is one of our best athletes, playing line and backfield positions on the football team and catcher on the diamond. Lately, however, Skinny has had more on his mind than ath- letics. ln study periods he may be seen poring over notes that begin, Demi-. He is often seen in Ingram. HARRIET O'BRlEN Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Spanish Club, '31 , Phy-Chy Club, '32, Clee Club, '32. Harriet is the tall brunette who comes from across the bridge. Although Harriet doesn't seem to get along so well with Prob- lems, she does take a great deal of interest in Spanish. ln fact, she is so interested that she has begun writing letters to someone in Columbia. Harriet has made many friends because of her pleasant ways and winning personality. We wish you all the luck in the world, Harriet. HARRY C. O'BRlEN Hi-Y Club, '29, '30, Advanced Latin Class, '32, Student Council, '3l, '32, Gym Club, '3l, '32, Football, '3l, Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to see the wire haired boy from Duncan Avenue. Witt is the owner of the curly locks and permanent grin that may be seen anywhere and at any time. He has proved to be one of the fastest men in Crafton, in more ways than one. He hadn't an equal on the gridiron for speed, and if seeing is believing, he hasn't an equal of any kind according to the person who drives the Plymouth. Stick to it, Witt, EDWARD OTT Spanish Club, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Glee Club, '29, '3O. Bud is the curly-haired boy from Warren Street. He is shy and hasn't much to say, except in classes. To those who know him, Bud is very easy to get along with. And does he know his Spanish? The words, Hey, 'Bud,' lemme your Spanish, are often heard in Room 203. Good luck, Bud. Page 32 GINKGU, 11932 EDWARD PRATT Gens Togata, '28, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Ed is that backward little fellow who tramps all the way from Ingram every day. He is a good piano player, and once in a blue moon someone succeeds in getting him to play. Keep it up, Ed. Little jack Little can't always be the best pianist. Even though Edward is quiet-spoken, his teachers succeed in getting enough out of him to pass him with C's. MARY FRANCES RICHARDS Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '30, '31, Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, National Honor Society, '31, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Secretary-Treasurer, '32, Glee Club, '29, Mixed Chorus, '30, '31, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32. Frances is one of the three possessors of red hair among the girls in our class. Contrary to the general rule concerning red heads, she has a sweet disposition and hardly ever gets angry. Besides being a good student and a member of the National Honor Society, Frances has gained a place in Miss Gayvert's heart because of her good work in the double quartette. CRISSIE RICHEY Pep Club, '29, French Club, '30, '31, Explosion Staff, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Office Practice Class, '31, '32. Crissie is the pretty little blonde that one frequently sees in the office. ln the office? Yes, but she is a member of the office practice class and is one of Miss Campbell's important helpers. She is a hard worker and takes her school work seriously. She also takes part in the musical organizations in our school. Crissie has a very lovable disposition and consequently has made many friends. RUTH SANDUSKY Pep Club, '31, '32, Explosion Staff, '32, We are proud to have a girl like Ruth in our class. She is one of the nicest girls we know. She has a likable personality, never has she been known to become angry or to speak a cross word to anyone. Besides having a splendid disposition, Ruth has brains, as she has shown in her classes. Best wishes, Ruth. We know you will succeed. jANET ROBERTSON Pep Club, '30, '32, Spanish Club, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '30, '32, Basketball, '29. janet is the sweet little girl of the class whom we all like. We often wonder if janet is afraid of Miss Vogeley, for she seems to lose her voice when Miss Vogeley asks her a question. We don't believe it's because she doesn't know the answer, because she certainly is not dumb. janet is always seen with jennie, and they do make a fine pair. GINKGO, 1932?

However, he seems to study, for he can be seen any night going into a cer- tain house on Ridge Avenue with an arm load of books. Whether he uses the books is not known, Smitty is an important mem- ber of the band and orchestra, and his leaving will be felt by both organizations. NELL SUEHR Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, '32, French Club, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Band, '29, '30, '31, Clee Club, '29, '32. Nell is one of the two outstanding girl athletes of our class. She is well-known for her shooting in basketball and for her serving in volleyball. Nell is especially helpful to the poor fellow who is unfortunate enough to forget his poetry in Miss Vogeley's fourth hour class. Any person having the number of friends Nell has, will surely succeed. HELEN H. TAYLOR Pep Club, '29, Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club. '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Cirls' Chorus, '31, '32, Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32. Perhaps you think Helen is shy and quiet, but you are wrong. She is usually laughing and giggling with the gayest. She has a pleasant disposition and a winning personality. Helen takes an interest in her studies, especially Latin. Every morning, in her report room, Helen may be seen studiously looking up Latin words and trying to translate her Cicero. Everyone likes Helen. BETTY THOMPSON Pep Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '31, '32, French Club, '29, '30, Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Student Council, '30, '31, GINKGO Staff, '31, Riding Down the Sky , Vice-President, Senior Class, '32, Mixed Chorus, '31, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '31, '32, Girls' Chorus, '31, '32, Clee Club, '28, '31, '32. Have you ever seen that pretty petite blonde come dashing in the door just as the tardy bell rings? Perhaps she didn't get to bed early enough the night before because she had been enter- taining a certain person. However, Betty doesn't let him interfere with her studies. She is a good student, a good singer, and a good friend. ELIZABETH A. VOELKER Pep Club, '28, '29, Spanish Club, '30, '31, Basketball, '29, '30, '31, Track, '28. Elizabeth is another of the outstanding athletes of our class. She has been one of the big helps on our basketball team during last year and the present year. She is rather inclined to be quiet in school, but we like her anyway. We often wondered why Bebe has a dreamy look in her eyes in Problems class, but now we have discovered the reason. Our reason has something to do with a coupe. Much luck to you in everything that you under- take, Bebe. P86104 WGINKGO, 11932 lit - CARRON WALSH Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, Spanish Club, '30, '3l, French Club, '29, '30, Gens Togata, '29. With her pretty hair, sparkling eyes, well-modulated voice, and charming personality, is it any wonder that Carron is so pop- ular. She is always cheerful and optimistic. Although Carron does not seem to worry over her lessons, she gets them just the same. This young lady has studied art in France and has made a name for herself by very creditable drawings. BETSY WEST Pep Club, '29, President, Leaders' Corps, '32, French Club, '29, '30, Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, Student Council, '3l, Debating Team, '32, CINKGO Staff, '30, '32, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '3l, '32, Girls' Double Quartette, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Clee Club, '3l, '32. Betsy is one of the best and busiest students of our class. She is president of Leaders' Corps and has led the club through a very successful year. Betsy also goes in for sports-boys' sports. She has been seen at all the dances in the company of the captain of the football team. Betsy is well-known and liked by every one. ROLAND ZIRCKLE Hi-Y Club, '3l, Spanish Club, '3O. Here is a young man with a dual personality. ln some classes he is a talkative fellow, in other classes he communes with the moon. Sometimes he doesn't smile for days, at other times he giggles for an entire period. His greatest fear is that he will come tardy to school. lf you would keep telling people how much you really know, Cuzz, you would be appreciated. ii 1- G 11 N K G 0, ll 9 3 2 Page 35 CLASS or FEBRUARY, 1933 Colors: Black and White President ...... ....

We were fearful that he would become some kind of drudge. He doesn't make much noise even now, but he seems to be enjoying life with the rest of us. Nothing can fluster him. He has an amiable disposition and knows how to please. We aren't saying for sure, but we think that perhaps Edward is interestd in a girl. We all like you, Ed, because you're a good fellow. BETTY AULL Pep Club, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '31, '32, Student Council, '31, '32, Explosion Staff, '31, '32g Class Officer, '31, '32, Basketball, '31, '32, Boosters' Club, '32g Treasurer, Senior Class, '33. One of the sweetest dispositions in our class belongs to Betty. She has a habit of speaking the truth, and we admire her for her frankness. She is attractive and has conquered the Crafton boys with her smile and happy ways. However, it seems that she has eyes for but one. Here's a tip for the girls: Betty keeps that per- fect 28 figure by eating pretzels and drinking buttermilk. Best wishes, Betty. EUGENE BATES Phy-Chy Club, '32, Gym Club, '32. If you ever see Eugene yawn in school, you know he has been up past ten-thirty the night before. But rarely do you see him yawn. Social affairs and members of the other sex seem to hold little interest for this young man. But we venture to say that this state of things will not last forever. Some day Eugene will be rewarded for his diligent pursuit of an education, and perhaps in the end he will outshine us all. Good luck, Eugene. FRANCES BEACH This young lady has some pep-lots of it. Do you get that way, Toots, from drinking Glaser's concoctions or from driving a car filled with Duncanites ? Tootie is popular with everyone. Notice her sparkling eyes. She has a weakness for laughing which is infectious. You're a nice person, Toot. Much luck to you. jOSEPH BOVARD Glee Club, '29, '32. Well boys, what happened to Pitt last night? They were fooled again, weren't they? asks joe at least once a week. He likes to razz Pitt and boost Duquesne. joe's daily review of the sports world is valuable not so much for its accuracy as for the style of the recital. joe is a dandy fellow, the kind you just can't help liking. Here's to you, joe. May the years ahead be happy ones. l3lGINKGO, 1932lt Page 37 ELIZABETH CONE Pep Club, '29, '3O, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '3O, 31, '32, Spanish Club, '32, French Club, '30, '31 , National Honor Society, '32, News Staff, '30, '31, '32, Explosion Staff, '31, '32, Class President, '30, '31 , Orchestra, '29, 30, '31, '32, Basketball, '32, Tennis, '30, '31, '32, Cheer Leader, '31, '32, Volleyball, '29, '30. We are always glad that there are people like Lib, She keeps us laughing, with wit which flashes brightly and unex- pectedly. She has an unusual attribute-she can laugh at herself. Libby is great at athletics. She plays a good game of basketball. And can she swing a tennis racket? Can she! This young lady is going to be another Helen Wills. Keep it up, Lib. IAMES COX Hi-Y Club, '31, '32, '33, French Club, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Stage Force, '30, '31, '32, '33, Explosion Staff, '31, '32, Orchestra, '29, '30, '31, '32, Band, '30, '31 , Tennis, '32, We have often wondered what Mr. Partitt would do without lim to advise him. Not every teacher is fortunate enough to have a pupil like james. Wisdom, originality, and concentration have combined and produced a student worthy of praise. We, like Mr. Parfitt, could not do without him. He is a necessary part of dear old Crafton High. IOHN CRONIN Hi-Y Club, '31, '32, Cens Togata, '31, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Gym Club, '31, Gfee Club, '29, Tennis, '31, lack is the boy who drives that little red Buick down the hill every day. Don't you think that in this depression it would have been cheaper to buy an oversized alarm clock, jack? lack is a well-known figure around our school, even among the teachers. His The reason I don't have it is-1 has been heard in more than one class. TURNER CRUIKSHANK Hi-Y Club, '30, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Student Council, '29, Stage Force, '29, '30, Gym Club, '32, Mixed Chorus, '30, '32, Turner possesses an individualism that makes him one of the most interesting and extraordinary students of the class. He al- ways has a greeting for everyone. He is willing to help a fellow out of any sort of distress. Turner is an ideal student. Sincerity is his outstanding character-trait. We expect greats things from you, Turner. THOMAS DICKENSON Gym Club, '31, '32, Senior Class President, '33. Tom is another lngramite and proud of it too. Like most of his fellow townsmen, he has outstanding characteristics. Old Man Mischief is a very good friend of Tom's, and he often comes along with Tom to visit us. Not only does Dickenson be- lieve in optimism but he practices it as well. He is a good student, a congenial companion, and a good sport. Pagew 5fGlINKGO, 1932 LAURA DUFFY Pep Club, '28, '29, '30, '3l, Spanish Club, '3l, '32, Glee Club, '28, '29, We hate to see Laura leave us because she is the last of one of the peppiest crowds we have ever had in school. There is always fun where Laurie is. Although she never made the honor roll, she attained rnuch success in other fields. Some say Laura should go to Hollywood and enter the talkies for she is not only easy to look upon but has a very sweet voice also. Good luck, Laurie. ROSS DUNBAR Student Council, '30, Basketball, '30, '3l, '32. l'm not asleep, Miss Cowley, l just have my eyes closed. I heard every word you said. ln spite of everything, Ross has absorbed much knowledge in Crafton High, and has had time besides to earn his letter in basketball. Ross plays hard when he plays, and he is a good loser as well as a good winner. Keep going, Ross, we know you'll win in the end. RICHARD ENSINGER Phy-Chy Club, '32, Boosters' Club, '32. ln Dick we have perhaps the best mathematician of the class. Rulers, compasses, and stencils are his friends. However, they are not the only friends he has. We believe he has more friends than he has pennies in his penny collection-and that's saying something. Dick at times seems fairly to boil over with a youthful exuberance characteristic only of himself. Of course he is a leader and the life of his class. Best wishes for success and a prosperous future, Dick. EDMOND FLOCCO Hi-Y Club, '3l, '32, Gym Club, '32. Always careful of his clothes-that's what we like about Goose. No other boy in school keeps such a nifty crease in his trousers. Hand it to Edmond. He works without complaint both in school and out. Really, he is a good fellow. Miss Vogeley tries to annoy him, but she can't do it. We're cheering for you, Goose ROBERT GILMORE Boosters' Club, '32, Student Council, '3l, '32, GINKGO Staff, '32, Class Officer, '32, Football, '30, '3l, Basketball, '30, '3l' Baseball, '3l. One side, gang, or l'lI be late for that meeting, says Bob, as he starts down the stairs, Besides holding important offices, Bob is a good student and a thoroughly likable person. judging by the number of Bob's friends, we should say that he is popular not only with the fellows but with the girls as well, We are sure that Bob will reach his goal. n GINKGO, 1932+-lt Page 39 EDWARD GRANT Band, '30, '3l, Basketball, '3l, '32, Baseball, '3l, This young man has been called a wit, a pet, a comforter, and a Beau Brummel. Here is your chance, ladies and gentlemen, if you are in need of any of the foregoing, for Ed is an accommo- dating boy and will try to fill any bill for you. We hope, however, that you will not persuade him to leave us, since we, too, feel we need him. jOHN HOLVECK Hi-Y Club, '3l, '32, Football, '3l, Basketball, '29, '30, '3l. Havc you ever seen a very little boy going through the halls? That's Long john. What a man! johnny has about seven girls on his string all the time. And do they like him? Do they! john has made a great name for himself through his expert football and basketball playing. He thinks schoolwork is the blah -but don't we all? lt's more fun loafing at Bronchain's. We all like john, and we hope he'lI make his mark. MARGARET jOHNSON Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '3l, '32, Spanish Club, '32, French Club, '30, '3l , Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, Student Council, '30, News Staff, '3l, '32, GINKGO Staff, '3l, Explosion Staff, '3l, '32, Vice- President, Senior Class, '33. Here's the spectator sports woman of our class. Baseball and football are Peg's favorites. She sees all the big games from the best seats. Margaret is a good student. At times she is reserved, but when she lets loose, she can be as rowdy as any two people. She's the kind of person people choose to tell their troubles to. Maybe that's because she looks sympathetic-and is. Somehow we feel that Peg will go farther than the average person. A girl as clever as she, should. Much luck, Peg. RUTH KANTNER Pcp Club, '3l, Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, Secretary, Senior Class, '33. just what Ruth does to her eyes to make them sparkle as they do, we have never been able to learn. But we have learned that her mind is just as bright as her eyes. We would hardly know Ruth were present if it were not for her pleasing recitations. She is inclined to be quiet, although she possesses a jolly nature peculiar to herself. With a smile and a word of cheer for every- onc, Ruth passes among us each day. FRANCES KING Pep Club, '3l , Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32 Frances is harder to become acquainted with than most girls. Perhaps that is more our fault than hers. Although Frances is quiet as a rule, she has been known to become hilarious. We are expecting to hear more of Frances in the future, for we are cer- tain that our hopes and wishes for her success in life will not be In Valn. Page 40 GINKGO, 11932 13 ,- lAMES LAWRENCE Hi-Y Club, '31, '32, Spanish Club, '31, Riding Down the Sky , Mixed Chorus, '30, '31, Boys' Chorus, '31 , Glee Club, '29, '30, '31, '32, Tennis, '3l. Everyone in the class has at some time or other been a victim of one of lim's pranks. Times would be dull indeed if it were not for lim's sense of humor. But he isn't at all one-sided. He knows that there is a time for joking and a time for being serious, and he knows exactly the right time for each. Good luck, lim. May the future be as happy for you as the present is. BENNETT LOWRY Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32, Student Council, '31, Basketball, '3l. If you hear someone sputtering in a strange dialect, you know it's Ben. For some reason or other Ben has never been able to discover why Mr. Brunk doesn't ring the fire bell oftener than he does. Had he his say, fire drills would become a regular course in Crafton High. Ben believes in taking today as it comes and worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. An easygoing, depend- able, conscientious student-that's Ben. WILLIAM McNALLY Spanish Club, '29, '30, Phy-Chy Club, '31, '32. Bill is the air-minded member of our class. If he isn't sitting with that skyward look in his eyes, Bill is drawing airplanes on his books. Can't you imagine Bill soaring overhead in a McNally Mono-Coup ? Keep it up, Bill, we may need another Lindbergh some day. MARTHA MITCHELL Martha is one of the newcomers to our class. Proud are we that she came to join us late rather than not at all. If popularity means anything at all in after life, then Martha will not have to worry about her future. If we were all as carefree and happy as Martha, the world would be a wonderful place in which to live. WALLACE MORGAN Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, Phy-Chy Club, '32, President, Student Council, '32, Student Council, '31 , News Staff, '31, '32, GINKC-O Staff, '32, Explosion Staff, '31, '32, Orchestra, '31, '32, Band, '31, Treasurer, Athletic Association, '31, '32. No, he doesn't talk incessantly, but he laughs almost inces- santly. Because he goes around looking pleased doesn't prove he can't be serious. Wallace is a dependable boy-at least, he has been an expert athletic treasurer. He is a wise child. He is one of the most likable fellows in the class. Here's hoping he has the luck he deserves. 'e'5fGINKGO, 11932 P38241 CHARLES MONTGOMERY Football, '29, '30, '31, Basketball, '3Og Baseball, '29, '30, '31. Chuck is another edition of the Montgomerys. There isn't a person who doesn't know Spike and like him. He is best known for his athletic achievements, having won a letter in every sport but tennis. There seems to be some attraction over among the Rocks in Ingram, for Chuck is oftcn seen there. JOHN TAYLOR Boosters' Club, '3lg Football, '31, Basketball, '31. We have no doubt that lohn will enter the commercial world after he has been graduated from Crafton High School, for he possesses the qualities most necessary for a successful business man. Besides being a good student, lohn is a good social com- panion. Wherever john is, there will be found the liveliest corner in the room. Your presence is always welcome, lohn. DONALD VON PEIN Phy-Chy Club, '32. Don is the kind of fellow who could sell stove polish while standing on a soap box, and he could actually make the buyer believe he wanted to buy stove polish. just mention something about nature to Don, and you are his friend for life. Among the many things Don has accomplished since coming to Crafton High is his frequent attainment of a place on the honor roll. ANN WEHNER Pep Club, '30, '31, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '31, '32g French Club, '30, '31, Advanced Latin Class, '31, '32, GINKCO Staff, '32, Class Treasurer, '31, '32. Not many girls can boast of the record that Ann has made. A careful glance at the honor roll would find Ann's name among the few high honor students. And the remarkable thing about Ann is that she's too modest to admit her ability as a student. Always jolly and fun loving, she is never too busy to help some- one in trouble. Can you blame us for being proud of her? ELINOR WILLS Pep Club, '28, '29, '30, '31, Band, '29. Did you ever see a happier smile than the one that belongs to Elinor? She surely is a cure for the blues. No girl would be un- attractive it she had eyes like Elinor's-so sparkling, interesting, and alive. Most of her time at school is spent drawing pictures. It's a good pastime anyway. Keep right on being popular, Elinor. We're for you every time. Page 42 --Q-if GINKGO, 11932 li ,- MILDRED WRIGHT Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, French Club, '30, '3l, Advanced Latin Class, '3l, '32, National Honor Society, '32, News Staff, '32, Explosion Staff, '3l, '32, Mixed Chorus, '32, Girls' Chorus, '32, Glee Club, '3l, '32. Some think Mid is unsympathetic-she even thinks so her- self-but she isn't .No, not when you know her. Mid is an individualist. She has the kind of individuality that isn't copied in our school. Mildred reads everything from H. C. Wells to Ted Cook. Watch her laugh when she tells the latest one about the Nut Brothers. Since Mildred has a wonderful store of en- thusiasm for things she undertakes, we believe she will be some- one someday. ANNA LEE ZERCHER Pep Club, '29, '30, '3l, '32, Leaders' Corps, '30, '3l, '32, Spanish Club, '32, French Club, '30, '3l, Secretary of Class, '3l-32. There's no gloom about Anna Lee. Zerk's always ready for fun, and she is always having it. She is the sort of girl everyone wants for a friend. Laughing herself out of tight places is her specialty, She loves to dance and swim, and is woof woof about spending summers at that very interesting lron City Fishing Club. Anna Lee can be serious and do splendid work too-make no mistake about that. We should rather see her enjoying herself though. We know you can't help but get along well in this world, Scuddy. -'+G G 1 N K G 0, ii 9 3 2 Page 43 TEST ON SENIORS True or False-What Do You Think?

In order that I might have a more enjoyable trip I decided to go by automobile. My first stop was at Bedford Springs. On driving up to the filling station, I came face to face with a former classmate, Reed Chalfant. Needless to say, I was pleased when he told me that if l'd stop at the airport, five miles north, l'd meet some more of my former classmates. I found the airport one of the finest in the country. It happened that the president of the company was just leaving for a dinner engagement as I arrived. As he passed me I glanced at his face and recognized Mr. Robert Motherwell. After speaking to him for a few minutes, I stumbled upon the information that Wilson Hannah was one of his air mail pilots. After hearing of Bob's and Wilson's positions and ambitions, I continued my journey. While in New York I visited one of the well-known theatres. During that week HoIIywood's popular young dance team, Martha ISkipI Davenport and Edward lKayoI Kelly, were appearing in person. After enjoying a thirty- minute talk with the couple, I was advised to visit Wilma Moore when I ar- rived in Hollywood. Before leaving New York I placed my car on the steamer, captained by Chuck johnson, and went as far as Norfolk. Again I traveled by car. Going through the valleys of Virginia I met the well-known artist Miss Sartory sketching mountain scenery. I had the misfortune, while driving through the city of St. Louis, to collide with a truck. This caused me to visit a local hospital. When I regained consciousness, who should be bandaging my arm but Margaret Pennell, who was Dr. GrennelI's assistant. Because of the accident I was forced to see a lawyer. Upon arriving at Lawyer Holcomb's apartment, I was shown into his private office by his secretary, Miss Mar- garet Ochrany. After recovering from my accident, I continued my journey through Mis- souri. Here I met john Bayer, a prosperous farmer. Then from Missouri I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The manager of one of the largest hotels in the state, Mr. Lawrence Gabig, welcomed me as I stepped into El Tovar. After spending the week-end at his hotel, I went to Yellowstone National Park. I was met at the entrance by a young man selling postal cards. He was john jeffreys. From Yellowstone National Park I went south to San Francisco where I stayed at the Dennison Hotel. Shortly after my arrival I rang for a paper. While glancing through the news, my eyes fell on a cartoon under which the name Gordon K. Zern appeared. It gave me a thrill to know that Gordon had at last reached his highest goal. On the following day I decided to visit one of the exclusive dress shops of San Francisco. While I was viewing the living models, I recognized one of them as Molly King. On my return trip I stopped at a museum in Texas. Here I saw the noted works of john George Kotsensas. In recalling my tour of the United States, I find it has been a trip taken in my mind's eye. Gretha E. Latshaw, '35, Page 70 -ei!

'Twas the first of the term, So the gymnastic germ Had captured him body and limb. Now his energies grew, As downward he flew. He was into his togs in a flash- Then, Oh, Boy! what a sight, When he took his first flight On the rings in abandonment rash. Who said this is work? Asked the lad, with a smirk, lt's too easy! lcan't get enough l Up the ladder he sped, To the horse he was led, On the bars he did wonderful stuff. lf I had my way, We'd have this every day- Two classes a week are too short! He was still doing swings And twisters and things When the bell put an end to his sport. Next morning, at eight, He was lying in state, With the covers tucked under his chin.

FOOTBALL Coach Wenrich developed a team of fighting calibre this yearg and in view of the fact that the team carried a heavier and more difficult schedule than usual, we may deem the season a successful one. The boys were pitted against several teams out of their class. ln spite of that handicap, however, they gave an excellent account of themselves in every encounter. GAMES September I9 found us trekking to Wilkinsburg for our opening game. Too bad we couldn't score another upset this year. Wilkinsburg boasted a heavy and fast team and her power plays steam-rollered Crafton's inexperienced line. Now, l'm telling you that Crafton held them fighting and showed the Wilkinsburg eleven some running and passing that were right up to snuff. Wilkinsburg, a highly touted combine, boasted only a I3-O advantage at the whistle. Whew! That Mt. Lebanon team was a husky aggregation and its weight counted much in the contest of September 25. Crafton slowly gave way in a stubborn battle. 'Twas another l3-O score. On October l Crafton played its first night game under North Braddock floodlights, against a strong Scott eleven. The Blue and C-old monopolized practically all play in the first two periods. But in the later period-Ouchl During Scott's attempt to crash the line for its three touchdowns, Crafton opened a barrage of passes. Spike snared a long one and wove twenty-five yards through the entire Scott team for Crafton's lone tally. Lehew's tackling was a bright spot in this game. Score Crafton, 65 Scott, ZO. Page 76 GINKGO, 1193256- On October I6 biting winds and icy rain swept the high, unprotected field at Dormont, and the gridiron became a slippery, slow mudhole. Crafton fought stubbornly against a well-balanced eleven and a l3-point handicap. When Montgomery scored, Crafton's hopes revived. But the field was too tremendous a handicap lsniffle, snifflel for a Blue and Cold victory. Noah ploughed through the mud, the whistle blew, and everybody sneezed to the tune of Crafton, 63 Dormont, l3. Ben Avon met Crafton at her home field on the afternoon of October 23. We shall pass lightly over the agony that the Ben Avon rooters must have felt when Crafton romped to an easy victory of l8-O. Crafton's red letter day of October 30 finds our beloved and esteemed opponents none other than Langley. The teams waged a nip-and-tuck battle throughout the earlier periods and left the rooters of both schools expectant of victory for their respective alma maters. However, in the last quarter Langley scored-6-O. That's not much of a victory. When is a game a thriller? lVlcKees Rocks boasted an undefeated record until Crafton played them to a standstill on November 6. The team was a single, perfect unit. Rocks felt the force of the attack, and Crafton pushed across a single touchdown. At the torrid finish the deadlock was 7-7. We wanted a touchdown on November ll. Tskl Tsk l We wanted several touchdowns. lf Bridgeville wanted touchdowns she was probably disappointed, for Crafton had run up a score of 33 when the final whistle blew and left Bridgeville gaping at her perfect circle. At the end of the season Crafton struggled valiantly to subdue a husky Carnegie team, but in vain. Every contest must have its winner and loser. If the football fates decreed Crafton the loser, we still admire her game stand. Score: Crafton, 63 Carnegie, I8. 1-+ilGi1NKGo, 11932 P88277 FIRST DOWN Sixteen, fourteen, seven, two!

Through his very capable handling, inexperienced material was molded into a football eleven that met every game in a difficult schedule with Pop's own spirit and fight. The proof of Pop's ability is on the football field itself. Nothing shows to better advantage his thoroughness in teaching. HOELZLE-Assistant Coach Hoelzle ably seconded Coach Wenrich in building up a successful eleven this year in the way in which he developed a smooth-running backfield. The admirable work of the backfield in kicking, passing, and running the ball when pitted against heavier opponents shows the worth of his drilling and training, and the importance of his department of work. lvicLEAN-Manager The manager plays an important part in any school's athletic organization, and especially in football. His duties are many and the hours spent at them are long. Among the manager's duties are the care of locker rooms, check-ups of equipment, the doctoring of cuts and bruises, and the meeting of many other of the squad's needs. Dutch's careful and consistent work merits apprecia- tion. LEHEW-Guard Ed may be called an all-round player. During the season he was shifted from one line position to another and proved capable of filling any of the berths to which he was assigned. In every play Lehew gave all he had. He was an out- standing Iineman, especially on defense, who specialized in hard tackles. Next year Crafton will surely miss Ed. CAPTAI N-ELECT SCHADE-Guard Ray came to Crafton from Bridgeville High. ln spite of the fact that this was his first year of football at Crafton, he filled his position like a veteran. You may well believe he is an able football player, for the team selected him as their captain for next year. We wish you luck, Ray. HOLVECK-End That lanky fellow often seen towering above the rest of the team was Holveck. lohn's height was a boon to Crafton in breaking up passing attacks and in smothering end runs. By finishing his high-school football career this year, john deprives Crafton of a capable lineman. Page 80 r 5lfGlINlKG0, 1l932f3 - IAYME-Tackle layme is a veteran tackle. He was the bane of opponents' line plays, harass- ing their backs constantly. With an enviable football record as a hard worker and capable tackle, Bob departs this year, leaving a big gap in the line. CAPTAIN ZERN-Quarterback Being kept out of a goodly number of games this year by a bad knee injury was a bit of tough luck for Captain Zern-not only for him alone but for the team as well. You may be sure the team missed his able support, and felt re- lieved when he returned to make his good showing. Every one is sorry that Bob leaves Crafton this year. MONTGOMERY-Halfback Chuck was our diminutive halfback and chief ground-gainer. Opposing teams were warned to keep their eyes on him, and worried themselves sick doing it. Chuck's broken-field running, receiving and intercepting of passes, and place-kicking were a constant source of joy to team-mates and fans. His ability and spirit will certainly be missed in the future. NOAH-Fullback Wally was converted this year from center to fullback. The change made no difference in the calibre of his playing. A plunging fullback-that's what Noah proved to be. With head down and legs digging in, he plunged for an appreciable gain every time he appeared on the field. Wally is numbered among those who leave this year. Let's hope the vacancy he leaves will be as ably filled as he has filled it. O'BRl EN-Halfback During every one of his four years in C. H. S. Harry has been a football can- didate. He proved himself this year, finishing his varsity career in first-rate fashion. Wiff turned out to be one of the fastest men in the squad. He leaves a backfield position hard to fill. SPEICHER- Do you know that Speicher hails from Creentree? lf all the C-reentree boys were as husky as he, it is ten to one that that borough would have a high-school squad of its own. lack has two more years of football at Crafton. ln that time we're sure he'll have made football history for our school. GINKGU, 11932 P11681 YULE-End Another player who will probably enjoy a stellar season in '32 is Yule who filled a terminal position opposite Holveck this year. Dave is alert, steady, and fast. Always on his toes, down under punts, and quick on offense is Dave. Crafton is lucky to have him for next season. BURBY-Tackle joe is the big boy who is often seen and seldom heard. However, football players are not judged by the noise they make. joe could be counted upon to give a good account of himself at his tackle position, proving an effective line- man. Are we sorry to see him go? Are we? CIMINEL-Guard Tom earned a regular line berth this season and played consistent heads-up football in every game. l-le isn't a towering fellow, but he made his weight and stockiness count to Crafton's advantage. Here's another man who will be sorely missed in next year's line-up. BRUNT-Halfback This season closes Brunt's third and last year of varsity football. Dick was a brainy field general who worked the backfield in a faultless fashion. His all- round ability in kicking, passing, and calling signals played a big part in Craf- ton's victories. Surely we'll have a hard time finding some one to fill Dick's place. BOTT-Cen ter During early training Gene sustained a sprained ankle and as a result was unable to play in the opening games. Upon recovery he filled the pivot position admirably, in spite of the disadvantage of being light in weight. Bott leaves us this year, not without regret on our part. Page 82 i 5'l GINKGO, 11932 l'3ta FOOTBALL The referee toots his whistle, The teams with pep go into play. Crafton versus Avalon- To us one glorious day. Now both teams do their very best. And circling about this town, The Walter Winchells shout, Dick Brunt just now has made the first touchdownf These strong teams fight with strength and might, Both up and down the good old field, Then happy Cratton scores again, And Avalon's fate seems sealed.

Mt. Lebanon, Dormont, lVlcKees Rocks, and Carnegie developed strong teams. You may well believe that our boys had their work cut out for them. ln truth, did Coach Hoelzle's squad start the season with a veritable bang Ben Avon, Bellevue, and Avalon fell before the stellar playing of our boys in pre-season games. Better clubs were encoun- tered when league competition began. The Blue and Ciold fell before McKees Rocks in a fast game ending in the score of Zl-l9. Close scores featured the majority of the contests. Stowe was defeated, Zl -ZO, in the only overtime game. Dormont and Carnegie, our chief rivals, defeated our men by narrow margins in strenuous battles. The basketball team will be considerably crippled next year because a number of the boys will be graduated. COACH HOELZLE Coach Hoelzle worked hard with this year's squad in an effort to build a team that would win the majority of its games and merit the hearty support of the school. Although he did not succeed in producing a victorious team, he did succeed in producing a team with spirit, sportsmanship, fight and cooperation that merited the hearty support of the school. itil G ll N K G 0, 11 9 3 2 ftrrr- Page 35 MCKEON-Manager If the team suffered for anything during the season it was not for the want of a good manager. What jimmy lacked in size he made up in the way of effi- ciency. The boys were amply supplied with socks, shoes, and other equipment throughout the season, and the bits of comfort they enjoyed between halves and during the heat of the game were rightly attributed to jimmy. We hope his successor may fill his position equally well. CAPTAIN YULE-Forward This season was Dave's second of varsity basketball. He performed his duties as captain and forward in a manner beyond reproof. Dave is probably the best basketball player that has been developed at Crafton for many a day. That the team appreciated Yule's efforts was shown by their electing him captain again for next year. We wish you luck, Dave HOLVECK-Cen ter Although john was with us only a half-year, he made the best of his short season. His height was in his favor and the boys could depend on john to get the coveted tip-off. He was very dangerous under the basket, dropping in side shots with uncanny accuracy. The team missed john the second semester, and you may be sure he will be missed in the future. GRANT-C-uard Ed was shifted to guard this year, and he filled this position even better than that of forward, which he held the past season. Opposing forwards found their nemesis in Grant. Fast on his feet ,Ed broke up passes and shots in admi- rable fashion. On the foul line, Ed was sure of a high percentage, his floor shooting was also enviable. Grant returns next year. MONTGOMERY-Forward Chuck was considerably short in stature, but this proved to be a small handicap in view of his swiftness. He possessed speed in large quantities, which more than over-balanced his stockiness. Chuck could be counted on regularly for his share of field goals and free tosses. With Chuck's departure, Crafton loses a speedy forward. HECKLER-Guard This year was Roy's first of varsity basketball, and we are sorry to say, also his last. ln Heckler's graduation Crafton loses a steady, hard-working guard. Long shots from all parts of the floor were his specialty. Roy was in the game from start to finish, fighting hard, and his determination will be missed next year. M86 G1INKGo, 1932 ite-- Dl LLON-Cua rd Dillon was assigned a two-fold duty this year. He was shifted from guard to center but that didn't seem to dampen Bill's ability. His scoring was unaf- fected by alternating at these positions, for he was as dependable at one as at the other. Graduation takes Bill's name from the roster next year. We'll miss you, Bill. DU N BAR-Cen ter Ross was Holveck's successor at center. The pivot position was well filled. Experience gained at guard before taking the center position enabled Ross to be a great help and a valuable man. Ross was fast and an accurate shot and passer. The team will miss Ross next year. LEWI S-Cua rd Fred supplied the pep and spirit necessary to a fighting team. Although he did not play in every game, he was always enlivening the team by rooting for a victory. In the matter of ringing up field goals, Fred constantly encountered bad luck, for his shots rolled off the hoop time and time again. Since Fred played alert, heads-up basketball, his speed and snap will be missed next year. O-O-O A THRILLER 'Twas down at Stowe, one winter's day, And we had but seconds to play. By just two points was Stowe in lead, So just two points was Crafton's need. Then Holveck passed the ball to Yule, And Dave dropped in his third field goal. The whistle blewg the time was o'er, And ten boys stretched upon the floor- An extra period soon would start, And each did want to save his heart. ln another minute the game was ong And another goal was scored by lohn. Then Stowe did score a point unintended As the whistle blew-and the game was ended. Then we came home, for our work was done, And we were ahead, in score, by one.

Stiff com- petition plus intense rivalry accompanied every game. The sophomores and seniors developed the best clubs, however, and the honors were divided be- tween them until the final and deciding game. Then the fans who witnessed this game were treated to a brilliant display of basketball, in which the seniors were unexpectedly turned back by the victorious sophomores. O-'O-O SOPHOMORES VERSUS FACULTY The laurels so hard fought for by the Sophomore Basketball Team were endangered when the members of the faculty challenged the newly crowned champions. On the afternoon of March ll the red-letter game took place. A capacity crowd of spectators was treated to an exciting game in which Coaches Wenrich and Hoelzle furnished an element of rough-house. Mr. Liggitt, Mr. Slick, lVlr, Wolfe, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Hogg also took part in the fray. While the sophomores came off victorious, you may be sure they didn't achieve victory without the whole-hearted opposition of the members of the faculty. At the final whistle the score stood 24-19.

Each class is represented by two teams, the Blue and the Cold. During the past season all games were fast and exciting, a goodly number of them resulting in close scores. The senior team was the champion Cold team. while the juniors led the Blue. However, the championship contest was a rather one-sided game. Individual scoring honors went to Elizabeth Cone of the junior team, the victors in the final game. The final score was l9-8 in favor of the junior Blues. And, by the way, Miss Elizabeth Cone won all of those nineteen points made by her team.

The team participated in two meets, Pitt lnterscholastic and the Allegheny County Meet at Schenley Oval. Both contests were arduous, and Cratton, although receiving no honors, feels rewarded tor the effort the boys macle in trying to place. Since four of last year's trackmen are still here, Cratton has hope of winning a place this spring.

However, Coach Glaser built a team that recorded victories over Peabody, Carrick, Sewickley, and Ben Avon, and narrowly missed registering wins against Shadyside, Mt. Lebanon, and Carnegie Tech Plebes. There is no reason why Crafton should not make a good showing this sea- son, for the team is experienced and has an added incentive in the cup offered by the newly organized lnter-Scholastic Tennis League, of which Crafton is a member.

On paper this record does not seem an impressive one, but the team waged some nip-and-tuck battles that unfortunately turned out to be victories for their opponents. Thus far this spring Grafton has defeated Dormont and Langley, and have been overpowered by Stowe. lf the team continues its fine playing for the re- mainder of this season, Grafton may well expect an excellent showing.

Membership is open to anyone fulfilling the three following requirements: enrollment in Crafton High School, being a girl, and having a desire to join. Twice a month meetings are held in the auditorium, at which programmes, prepared by members, or talks by outside speakers are given. ln addition to the bi-monthly gatherings the following social functions were given during the present school year: a dance in honor of the football team, a St. Valentine's Day Social hour, a hay ride to South Park, several swimming parties, and a doll tea, at which, by the way, Edythe lrvin received the prize for exhibiting the most beautifully dressed doll. Not all the activities of the Pep Club are routine ones and social ones, for the members raise money by selling hot-dogs and candy at the athletic field, they dress dolls for children in the poorer districts of Pitts- burgh, and they supply Christmas baskets for the needy. Any person in Crafton High School not already a member but fulfilling the three necessary requirements will be heartily welcomed to the Pep Club.

Every Monday night the members have their dinner at the downtown Y, after which they conduct their regular club meeting. Following this meeting, the boys play basketball for an hour and then spend some time in the swimming pool. During the school term the members sponsored one assembly programme, in the spring they launched their regular lvl. U.

Before a student activity can function, it must have the approval of this body, which is made up of the president of each home room and two members of the faculty. Each year, since its creation, the Student Council has been enlarging its influence. The newest duties it has assumed are the con- ducting of the athletic association meetings and the nominating of the candi- dates for the C-INKGO Staff. At its inception the Student Council set forth the following aims, which, from present indications, are being realized: To develop leadership and to stimulate interest in the activities of the school. To prepare the student for future citizenship by giving him the training which comes from participation in school activities. To create and maintain cooperation between the different clubs of the school. To arouse a wholesome school spirit. To generate in the pupil a feeling of his responsibility to his school.

For days before the curtain rises on a widely heralded play, the faithful actors of the backstage are going through their paces-which means that they are lugging scenery and furniture from place to place, that they are painting and furnishing articles grown shabby, and that they are wiring and roping whatever needs wiring and roping. Then on the great night, still acting unheard and unseen, they are permitted to hear the applause given to the actors on the front stage. But every student in school realizes and appreciates the work of the Stage Force.

BOYS' CHORUS This year the Boys' Chorus made an admirable showing in the Pennsylvania Forensic League Contests. Coming through three eliminations, they entered the final one, the state contest, and ranked second. All the members of the Boys' Chorus, as well as Miss C-ayvert, their instructor, and Don Meiser, the accompanist, deserve much credit for the record made. THE GIRLS' DOUBLE QUARTETTE The C-irls' Double Quartette won county, district, and sectional honors in the Pennsylvania Forensic League Contests, and in the state contest ranked in second place.

Studying had sharpened my senses-not destroyed-not dulled them. Above all, the knowledge of algebra and English was great. But historyl Hear how plainly and well I can tell you the whole story. Now, this is the point. You fancy me a moron. Morons know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded-with what caution, with what foresight, with what dissimulation I went to work. I was never more pleasant to my history teacher than in that semester before I planned leaving her for my next year's classes. But I hated history, I despised it. When I went to history class, I closed my mind to what my teacher was saying, and when she asked me a question, I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know the answer. I never opened my lips about anything which con- cerned history. In fact, everytime I had a chance, I would study something else in that class. You still think me a moron? Well, you won't when I tell you something else. Every night after school I carried my history book home so that my teacher would think I studied, and night after night of that whole semester I hid that book. You should have seen how cautiously-oh, how cautiously-I hid my text. I determined not to read or look between its pages. To do this I had to hide it, in order not to be continually reminded of my unlearned lesson. This I did every night of the long school year. Every once in a while my conscience would remind me of my unopened history book, but l didn't care. I laughed. You should have heard me laugh. One day, at the end of the semester, as I was walking home with my history book under my arm, one of my friends casually remarked that our history ex- amination was scheduled for the next day. I had a feeling of panic then, but it passed quickly enough. I told myself that I'd get by, simply by guessing. Little did I know what the results would be. The day dawned. I dragged my book from its hiding place and went to school. All my fellow class-mates were rushing excitedly about, asking each other questions and comparing notes while I stood in a corner trying to forget about history. As we trooped into the examination room, I noticed the history teacher standing at the desk with a pile of examination papers in front of her. I took a seat among a group of A pupils. I considered myself as good as any of them at guessing. A hush fell over the room. I heard a step and the rattle of papers. I knew the teacher was passing the examinations. A paper was placed on the top of my desk. I looked down at it. Horrors! The only things I saw were dates. I couldn't guess at them-l604, l666, l700, l706, I754, l8l9, l878, I897, i888-I didn't know one. Think-think-think! All I could think of were verbs, pro- nouns, adjectives, ab -l- c : x, cd-ab + z : xg osmosis is the process of --stil GINKGO, 1932 lrrr- Page '23 liquids of a different density through a semi-permeable membrane. Good Heavens! English, algebra. science, but no history. The pencils of my friends around me were scratching, scratching, scratching, scratching. Would they never stop? I looked up to where the teacher was standing watching me. Horrors! she didn't know? My heart started thumping. It seemed to say at every beat, flunk, flunk, flunk, fIunk. I writhed inwardly. I looked again at the teacher, she smiled. To me it looked like the grin of a devil. Oh, yesl I realized then that she knew and had always known of my tactics to escape history. Would the bell never ring? The incessant scratching! Would it never stop? My heart was pounding in my ears. Oh, why didn't the bell ring? Any- thing that would be a different sound from that of my pounding heart. That long list of unanswered questions before me. The teacher watching me. The belll How wonderful that shrill, screeching sound seemed to be. I rushed out of that stifling room into the fresh air. What a relief. The beating of my heart became normal and I tried to brush the throughts of history from my mind. Of course, I could not forget entirely, although some day I hope I shall be able to. Mildred Kotsenas, '33. O-O-O IN STUDY HALL Everyday in study hall, I hear the pencils fall and fall, And try to study as I do, All I hear is chew, chew, chew. And finally upon my desk I try to lay my head to rest, But all in vain, for on the pane I hear the patter of the rain. Someone hums and someone talksg Someone gets up and walks and walks- Up and down the room he goes, Like the ushers at the shows. The clocks ticks on, and, finally, I hear all laughing lustily, I lift my head in time to see A dusty yellow bumble-bee. And then the ringing of the bell Awakens me with its sad knellg And so my books I quickly grab And rush pell mell into the lab. james Aiken, '33.

When we the proper speed attain, We leave the ground like a frightened crane Now house-tops and trees we leave behind. And scarcely can we the river find. Now we are high as we care to go, Going so fast that we pass the crow. We are flying swiftly through a fleecy cloud As our motor makes music clear and loud. Oh, what a thrill 'tis to ride a plane, Though some might say 'twould make them insane. Edward McCilvray, '35 o-0--0 A PROBLEM!

William Gardner, '32. 0-O-O A MIDNIGHT VISITOR How many people have suddenly opened their eyes when the night was at its darkest, warned by some sixth sense that there was a moving object in the room? Those who have, I know, will sympathize with me, to those who have not, let me recommend it as a very delightful experience. My room at the hospital was on the ground floor, and one night when I was complaining of Ionesomeness, my nurse threw the window wide open. Now, she said, you just lie here and pray for company, and maybe some- one will come in. To prove the possibility of the thing she stepped outside, danced a few moments on the moon-lit lawn, and re-entered the room, via the window. Slightly cheered, I lay there in momentary expectation until about three o'clockg then, deciding that such things happen only in story books, I closed my eyes and at that instant heard a noise at the window. While my heart beat so loudly that I thought the intruder must surely hear it, footsteps crossed the floor. The sounds hesitated. Was he going to come beside my bed or go into the hall? There was a noise beside my ear, then the feel of eyes staring at mel I opened one eye--and shut itl Those shining balls not six inches from my face couldn't be human. I wanted to die, but curiosity overcame my fears, so taking a deep breath ll thought my Iastl, I opened both eyes to realize the worst. What a disappointment! There sat a large black cat. Rosalie Baker, '32, Page l26 --Hail GINKGO, 1932 l3 ' TALE EST FATUM ARTIS An earnest young lady was standing in a deserted corridor of Crafton High School, deeply engrossed in studying Macarri's painting of Cicero denouncing Cataline in the Senate. Two of her friends, emerging suddenly from the audi- torium, were much astonished to find her thus engaged. What can Bessie be doing? inquired one in an anxious tone. She's probably going to write a fifth oration against Cataline, replied the other as they started toward Bessie. Bessie, upon seeing jessie and Tessie approaching, feebly attempted to think of an excuse for her strange conduct. lWhat student ever looks at the pictures in the halls?l Believe it or not, she began meekly, but l'm waiting for the Fuller Brush man. She was not in the least surprised that her companions scoffed at her. Finally, when she could no longer endure their taunts, she broke down and con- fessed that she had noticed a slight resemblance between the fourteenth sen- ator from the left in the first balcony and her Uncle Hiram from Peoria. All three turned toward the picture. I suppose, said Tessie, that the man apart from the rest is the rogue Cataline? Nonsense, retored jessie. How could he hold his arm in that strained position for so long? Remember, girls, he had come home on the milk wagon early that morning. Even in those days they had grape-nuts, indignantly declared Tessie. l'm surprised that he isn't swinging from that pillar. l suppose that Cicero in this picture is remarking that the first senator in the first row is a D student because he isn't with us-just at the beginning of a new report period too, la la Miss Iva Cowleyl sighed Bessie. Look at those men in the second row, exclaimed jessie. They seem to be talking and walking about. One would think it was a library study period. I shouldn't think that that small fire to Cicero's right would heat that large room. Now if Mr. Thompson had been there-can't you just see Mr. Thompson walking in with a huge shovelful of coal? Tessie smiled to herself. lf Mr. Thompson had been there, Rome's fire department would have been working over-time. Nero wouldn't have had to burn the city, added jessie. just then Mr. Brunk, who had had a long hard day at the office, spied them, Where are you girls scheduled this period? he demanded. We aren't scheduled at all. We were just looking-. Then you'll have to leave the building at once, he continued. Didn't you hear me announce that in chapel? Or were you talking? and he rushed them off as he is wont to do. Since that day no other student has stopped to look upon or to comment on Cicero, Cataline, or the Senate. Alas, how short-lived is fame within these portals! Mildred Wright, '33, -get GINKGU, 1932 Page '27 FAVORITE DAILY PASTIME ON A CITY STREET CAR Three yards to go! The line lunges forward. Above the scuffle of heavy bodies and the groans of striving men there arise the shrieks of women behind. One yard to go! A touchdown in sight! Rain falls. lt is slippery under foot. Cheers come out of the scuffle, which is the daily game between the home team, representing the citizens, and the 5:lO P. M. street car. Rules are much the same as in a gridiron rush, but a bit more free in the matter of kicking. Fumbles are frequent, as all the players carry bundles. Star players, in the rush for a sitdown, equivalent to a touch- down in the grid sport, have had years of training at the game. One yard to go! The tightly wedged mass struggles forward, with the little children squirming beneath. The line holds. A yard is lost. Someone has fumbled his bundle. He scrambles and falls on his package for a quick recovery. Bravo! A mass play through center comes next. Halfbacks shove and come up from behind, screened by large piles of packages. Some citizens plunge forward over the bodies of prostrate players. Cries of men and boys first! arise from husky males who are frantically straight-arming women out of their path. A stab off tackle fails miserably. The push from the rear grows stronger. You are playing halfback for the home team. A giant has his knee in the small of your back. A man, trying to alight from the car, has an overcoat that is wet and soggy. You smear your face in his overcoat and hold your breath for ten seconds. Someone with a lot of weight is leaning on you from the right. Someone with more weight is shoving you from the left. lDid you wish at the Pitt Stadium this season that you might play football? If so. your day has dawnedl A woman, with the power and build of a battleship, rushes into the gap. She tosses two men out of the way. Swinging two great baskets, she elbows a third. She annihilates a fourth with a glance. Splendid interference! What a player-this woman! She smashes a hole in the line for you. You dart through the break. Everything goes black before your eyes. You, the hero of the game, hear the glad tumult of the throng as they shout: You have scored a 'sitdown' ! Margaret Driscoll, '34. O-O-O THE GALLANT COMMANDER Commander Parfitt stood before his meng His mighty forces numbered nearly ten. Around him fifty thousand burly Hung Closed in with many fiery, flaming guns. Oh, Captain, cried his terror stricken Yanks, Do something quick, before they reach our ranks! Commander Parfitt raised his mighty arm, His bulging ripped his khaki coat to threads. The Germans turned and ran in great alarm, Arid cursed themselves because they had no sleds. See there, said Parfitt proudly to his boys, Our ranks are meriaced by the Huns no more. Why can't you fellows have my stately poise? lt takes a man that's brave to win the war.

And if it be a winter's morning, always as l shiver into my clothes l wonder how cold Backbone is today. Backbone Road! That little road clinging to the side of a cliff and offering the wonderful view of nestled Thornburg and the great hills in the distance. Backbone Roadl The boys from Duncan challenge anyone to find a colder spot at eight twenty-five in the morning. For four years we have trudged our weary legs up that tedious trail. The wind cuts over the open plain and seems to do its best to blow us from our course, but the boys from Duncan are made of a sturdy stock, and nothing can drive us from our destinated place. ln sum- mer Backbone Road is the dustiest place in Craftong in winter Backbone Road is the coldest place in Crafton, When it's raining, Backbone is the muddiest, when it's snowing, Backbone has the deepest drifts. You will think Backbone Road has no good qualities. Reader, Backbone Road has many good qualities. There were numerous times when the clock was slow or I had to go to the store that a fast run up Backbone prevented that inevitable eight o'clock of Mr. Brunk's. Then there were those good old days when we, just freshmen, were learning to smoke. This could not be done on Steuben Street, as there were too many people we knew, therefore, Backbone proved a haven from prying eyes which might look upon our crime. l know that I shall always treasure Backbone Road in my heart. lt knows many secrets of the Duncan boys g and in turn, they know many secrets of the Road, such as the many ditches and sharp-pointed rocks which seem to be in the way of the uninitiated. But dear old Backbone never proves a mis- fortune to those who hold it dear in their hearts. Backbone! l salute you.

Laura Belle Trent, '34, O-O--0 MY NEW SCHOOL l haven't come to Crafton High so long as all the rest, But l'm inclined to think that it's the school which I like best. The students are so jolly and so very full of fun That it's really quite a pleasure to know each and every one. The teachers and the principal are very nice to me, Not yet has any one of them tried giving me an E. I know I'd get a spanking if one of them ever wouldg So for the next three months of school I surely will be good. At first I thought I'd never learn to like this school at allg And now if I should have to leave, I'd just sit down and bawl.

Ruth Evans, '32, O-O-O TO A WORM The greatest motive of my life right now Is just to write a sonnet to a worm, A little worm that lives and dies. Oh, how It fascinates me with its funny squirm. I see a little worm upon a string, Scared by all the fishies in the lake. If I could have my way, I'd pull that string, And from those naughty fish that worm I'd take. But I am just a shrimp upon a rock, And from my shell I watch that little worm. When those big fish their jaws upon him lock, My thumping heart within me feels a qualm- For some day from my shell I may be drawn, And like that little worm be fed upon. Betty Thompson, '32.

The only thing I regret is that I have to go with ma, pa, and sis. Ma said a ten-year-old boy would get lost. Lot she knows about it. At last after a lot of primpin' by ma an' sis lyou'd think they were goin' to church! we reach the field. We came early so's to get good seats. I'm a sittin' here when ma says Billy, why didn't you change your shirt? and grabs me to straighten my tie, which she made me put on. That's the way with women, they're always lookin' for somethin' to holler about and can't let a feller alone to enjoy himself. Now the teams come out on the field. Everybody cheers and sis hollers, What did he do, did he make a point? And the game hadn't even started. If I was a girl, l'd stay away from base- ball gamesg but Gosh! I'm glad I'm not. It ain't even started, I hollers in contempt, for which I get called down by pa for usin' slang. Why can't pas and mas leave us alone at a baseball game, anyway? Well, they begin playing an' sis pipes up with, I hope that team wins. They have the prettiest suits and their players are frightfully good looking. Oh welll I try to keep my temper. The batter's up, the pitcher throws the ball and ma hollers, I declare, I never saw such brutality, trying to hit that player. l'm goin' to bawl her out, but pa kindly tells her to watch the game. The game goes on with ma and sis gettin' dumber every play. Imagine, ma askin' why the outfielders doesn't come in closer, so's to see better, and sis saying if she was the catcher she wouIdn't wear a mask Ishe calls it a cage! because it hides his good-looks. But what gets me is when a guy in front hollers, BoyI did you see that guy steal second? And ma cries, Anna, hold on to your brace- let, imagine such thievery and the policeman standing right over there.

THE TALL STORY CLUB After lunch a select and important group of members congregate in the privacy of the boys' locker room to hold their daily meeting of the Tall Story Club, with Mr. Parfitt presiding. The meeting is brought to order and the minutes are read by the secretary, Mr. Graham. Topics of the day are discussed. followed by new jokes the members have heard. These preliminaries have their effect. All modesty is dispersed and the club members speak very freely of their experiences and achievements. Mr. Parfitt single handed wins wars over and over again. Mr. Ryall braved the Canadian wilds with only a blanket. Mr. Hoelzle dashes madly down the field. sidestep- ping, dodging opponents, and piling up numerous victories for dear old West- minster. Mr. d'Ambrosi just slays all the women that see him and is conse- quently made love reporter for the organization. And last, but not least, Mr. Graham, the real brains in that large assembly room, solves problems that have puzzled Einstein and Archimedes. And thus the stories fly until the first bell rings and the members rush to their rooms, thinking of another one to tell at the next session. Paul McEachran, '32.

Each leaves his own beloved abode And runs along towards Backbone Road As we strike the road, the wind hits us And with our hair creates a muss. We push along in the teeth of gales, Tripping o'er rocks in lowly dales. ln the bitter cold our hearts are light As the last long hill comes into sight.

The door opened, a head appeared, and time went on. Noiselessly the figure crept up the stairs and into room 209. The clock ticked on, all else was silent. lt was a ghost! A grinning gray-bewhiskered ghost. Silently he began his work. First he let out the snakes and then the horned toads and then started on the freshies' books. Some time later, when the clock struck three, this mysterious figure disappeared. The next morning confusion reigned. Girls shrieked and boys yelled. Mr. Ryall, crawling on his hands and knees to peer in corners and under cases to recover his precious menagerie, swore vengeance on the ghost. The next night two boys were set to watch in room 209. But they fell asleep and the ghost repeated his destruction. Then two alert boys were put on the job. As the clock struck twelve they heard a slight noise like the patter of ghostly footsteps. Then the clock ticked on. Nervously, not being used to deal- ing with ghosts, the boys watched the door knob, but nothing happened. Strange noises were heard, and their vigil went on. The next morning all was a mess as usual. The ghost must have come through the key hole or under the door. So the next night the boys set a large rat trap to catch these silent ghostly feet. Hours rolled on. All at once they heard these ghostly footsteps and then the bang of the trap. Breathless with suspense, the watchers turned on the light, and there in its dying agonies blinked a small gray-bewhiskered mouse. Crafton High School's greatest mystery would never be one again. No more damage or mischief was done. Books, toads, and snakes were safe. lVlr. Ryall breathed a sigh of relief. The world went on. Helen Coventry, '35.

The bell rings and students slowly and noisily enter and leave the room. Professor Parfitt: Whence comethlthose sounds? Students, I prithee ease thy- selves into the room more quietly. He commences to call the roll. Abelle, Battes, Bovard-Bovardg joseph Bovard- joe: I am in thy presence, sir. Prof. Parfitt: Cather thy wits, boy. I didst call thee thrice. joe B.: Soft, soft, sir: thou didst not call loud enough. Prof. Parfitt: Answer me not, knave. Enough of thy lip. He continues to call the roll and finishes successfully. Prof. Parfitt: Now hasten to work on thy experiments, for time passeth and thou hast much to accomplish. There is much activity as students set up and move apparatus. Evil smelling fumes and smoke arise from all parts of the room, and occasionally a minor explosion is heard. Richard Ensinger: Pray tell me, Cruikshank, what is the test we apply to dis- cover soluble chlorides? Cruikshank: I tell thee I do not know. Thy guess is as good as mine. Ensinger: Probably better. Prof. Parfitt: Whence cometh that evil smell? Wouldst thou asphyxiate us one and all? Knouff :The paper bids me add the ammonium hydroxide to the mixture, sir. Prof. Parfitt: So it doth, fool: but if thou wouldst but observe it more care- fully, thou wilt see in heavy print the words ADD SLOWLY. Knouff: I wilt mind the experiment more carefully next time, sir. Mr. Parfitt, on the verge of making further comment, is inter- rupted by a terrific explosion. Cox stands there in the midst of shattered glass and pieces of zinc. Then he hurriedly wipes some of the acid from his hands and face. Prof. Parfitt: Fool, thou knowest as well as I do that hydrogen when mixed with oxygen wilt burn explosively. Cox: Full well I know it now, sir. Prof. Parfitt: Explain thyself, idiot. Dost thou never think? Cox: I think so. Prof. Parfitt: Art thou hurt, boy? Cox: Nay, my rubber apron full well protecteth me. Prof. Parfitt: Thy foolishness will cost thee twenty-eight cents, and the price is cheap. And BE MORE CAREFUL. He passes along the table to observe other students. Take care that yonder beaker of acid spilleth not, Tom. It acteth not like water. Tom Dickenson: But sir,- Prof. Parfitt: Answer me notg I telleth thee have care. Tom: The beaker hath water in it now, sir. Prof. Parfitt leaves amid the boistrous guffaws of the students. The bell rings.

XL egg ooking U . . . ookin Ahead Steadily expanding, even in the face of the most world-wide eco- nomic stagnation in history, the Aviation Industry today offers op- portunities for a successful career unequalled since the early days of railroad development. Within an- other decade Aviation may be as es- tablished and as stereotyped as any other great industry, but mean- time, it oifers problems to solve, didiculties to overcome, success and fortune ripe for the making. What are your ambitions? Will you choose an established busi- ness, with its settled routine? Or will you help to blaze the trail in a new and fast-growing industry as did the railroad builders and indus- trial pioneers of yes- terday? P e n n S c h 0 ol , through its close as- sociation with every department of Avi- ation, can give you specialized training and a real start in this new indus- try. It has already done so for many others. Penn School is a highly specialized organization that can make you a specialist in your cho- sen department of Aviation. Penn School is operated by Pitts- burgh Aviation Industries Corpor- ation, a company actively engaged in every branch of Aviation. lt was the first institution in Penn- sylvania to receive approval as a training school for Transport Pi- lots from the Federal and State Governments. Alert to the present-day needs of Aviation, the officials of Penn School can point the way of op- portunity to every ambitious stu- dent in the department of Aviation for which his talents fit him . . .

Let thirty-six no rival know ln running this big race. Paul Graffius, '36, THE FRESHMAN CLASS I. On a hot September day Came some lads and lasses gay. Said the teacher, with a frown, Who are these just come to town? But they took this bulky mass And from it formed the Freshman class ll. Now they've had us for a year, And perhaps they've shed a tear. When our thoughts have gone astray, They've gazed at us in sad dismay. But we have done our very best, And most of us have passed the test. Billy Liggitt, '35 GANGWAY You seniors now had best make way, For an avalanche of freshies Are bound to push in line ahead Of mighty you, on CINKCO Day. We'll hurry fast to get that book, We'll hold our money very tight. And if you want an argument, We may even start a fight. T0 US One year of high school now is past, Three more will come before the last, True Crafton spirit we have got, And all the lessons she has taught. But three short years before us lie- Our motto shall be Do or Die , For Crafton High we'll do our best, To bring her glory is our quest. Edith Vaughan, '35 WE FRESHMEN We freshmen are a jolly lot. Folks say we're awfully green, And when we show them we are not, They still persist, 'twould seem. Folks never know our names at all- The sophs and upper classmen just take for granted, I suppose, That freshie is our nomen. We'll show 'em up though, just you wait. Before this term has scotted, You'll see most freshies' letters are Ahead of those who hooted. Ada Mae Cowan, '35. IUST A FRESH MAN l'm only a little freshman And it's all so strange and new, With all these dreadful lessons, I don't know what to dog I feel so strange and lonely, My home is far away, And, oh, l fear me, fear me, l've flunked in algebra!
