Six victories against four losses were shown on the books. Two of the four losses were very nearly Crafton victoriesp and no team, throughout the year, out-fought the Cougars. lrnpressive victories were scored over Clark, Findley, Moon Township, and Langley. Close, hard-fought games were won from Bellevue and Bridge- ville. At the end of the season the record showed that Crafton had scored a total ninety-three points while holding opponents to seventy-four. Under the inspiring leadership of Captain lack Glasgow, the team dis- played a tricky yet powerful offense and a stubborn defense which held six of the opposing teams scoreless. The outlook for next season is bright, for Dick Breen has been elected captaing West View has been added to the schedule, and six lettermen are returning. Page Sixty Seven I GME 'lr CRAFTON 6 -MOON TOWNSHIP 0 Crafton started off the season well by displaying a great amount of offensive power but was able to score only once. lack Burford swept wide around left end for the lone tally. The Cougar defense worked splendidly, allowing Moon Township only twelve yards from scrimmage plays. CRAFTON 0 - SCOTT 26 In the second game of the Crafton season, Scott's tricky offense bewildered the Golden Avalanche despite the fact that the Scott power was stopped. CRAFTON 31 - CLARK 0 Cougar backfield men went on a rampage to score five touchdowns against the lowly Clark Cubs, Metts scored first on a center plunge. Dick Breen caught a 23-yard pass for number two. Then Glasgow tallied on a wide end run. Pete Kotsenas inter- cepted a pass and went for forty yards. After intercepting a Clark pass, Booth raced half of the field, made the final touchdown, and went through center for the extra point. CRAFTON 19 -LANGLEY 0 When the Crafton-Langley feud was renewed after a five-year lapse, Langley was pushed around almost at will. Early in the first half Metts scored on a short line buck. Midway in the the third period Dick Breen broke off tackle and raced 62 yards for a score. Captain lack Glasgow turned a Langley pass into a third Crafton touchdown. CRAFTON 0 - DORMONT 21 During the season Dormont introduced a new method of play into scholastic football and with it were able to defeat Crofton. Passes from Crawford to Black, two Dormont players, scored two touchdowns and set up a third. The outstanding offensive men in the Dormont attack were Thorsen and Crawford. O Page Szwctv-Eight GAMES t w CRAFTON 7 - BRIDGEVILLE 0 The game between Crafton and Bridgeville was evenly contested throughout. At no time did either side have an advantage. Late in the final session George Wilson threw a pass, from Bridgeville's 19-yard line to George Urban, for the touchdown. Bill Tallon kicked the extra point. CRAFTON 6 - STOWE 13 Although outplayed in the first half of the Crafton-Stowe game, Stowe scored two touchdowns in the last half to win. To climax a sixty-five yard drive, Crafton scored early in the second quarter. George Wilson plunged over for the score. Bulgarelli, Stowe fullback, was the visitor's offensive hope. He scored the two touchdowns and the extra point which enabled Stowe to win. CRAFTON 6 - BELLEVUE 0 When Crafton's offense clicked once against Bellevue at the beginning of the game, the Cougars marched seventy yards on a sustained drive for the only score. Frank Smith recovered a Crafton fumble over the goal line. The attempted extra-point try hit the cross bar and failed to go over. CRAFTON 24 - FINDLEY 0 Against the Findley team Crafton's offensive worked almost at will. Dick Breen made two touchdowns, one on a 24-yard forward pass from Wilson and the other on a plunge from the six-yard line. Kotsenas went through center for the third touchdown and Wilson plunged over for the last score. CRAFTON ,6 - CARNEGIE 14 In the last game of the Crafton season Crafton's mighty Cougars outplayed a sup- posedly superior Carnegie team but were held to one touchdown for Crafton's score. Glasgow swept wide around the left end from the 10-yard line. On the return kickoff Carnegie's fullback ran ninety-six yards for a touchdown. In the final period Carnegie again scored from the 10-yard line. Page Sixty Nme O PLAYER CAPTAIN IACK GLASGOW-HALFBACK lack could always be depended upon when the going was toughest. Although he relied mostly on his power for his running, he was a dangerous open field runner. Throughout the season he was an inspiring captain and bore well his responsibilities. RICHARD BREEN-HALFBACK Dick, the jack-rabbit type of runner, was Crafton's offensive player. Opponents couldn't figure out how a player so small could pack so much power. Dick is captain- elect, which means that he returns to service next year. IAMES DIMINNO-GUARD lim was amazingly fast for a heavy player. His low, hard-charging rushes kept many opponents' backs in their own backfield. Next season Iim, who is now a senior, will be sorely missed in the Golden Avalanche. DONALD HETH-QUARTERBACK Don led the interference on the end runs and off-tackle smashes that the Cougars are so noted for. Heth, at quarterback, was field general and his sound judgment at calling plays provided many Crafton gains. Although Don was a newcomer to the squad, he quickly and efficiently fitted into the Cratton system. Much to the regret of Crafton fans, Heth, being a member of this year's graduating class, will not be in the line-up next year. PAUL PANNETON-END Paul was throughout the season the sparkplug and defensive star of the Cougars. His cheerful countenance on and off the field kept Crafton spirits high. Hooters for the Cougars will long remember Paul's excellent playing in the Carnegie game. Panneton goes out with this year's class, and so will be missed next season. EDWARD WENRICH-GUARD Ed earned his letter the hard way. He had to overcome the obstacle of being the coach's son, and he did. Ed was one of the most valuable members of the team. On defense, where his hard-charging made him a constant threat, he was best. Ed is an- other player that Crafton will miss next year, for he leaves high school in Iune. WII.LIAM TALLON-TACKLE Big Bill Tallon was one of the mainstays of the Cougar line. He handled well the punting assignments and the point-after-touchdown attempts. Like many of the other members of the '39 Crafton team, Tallon has played his last high school game. O Page Seventy PLAYER . IAY COUGHEY-GUARD lay, loving a hard fight, played his best game when the going was toughest. Coughey returns next year to lend a great deal of help to the '40 edition of the Crafton gridiron squad. GEORGE WILSON-BACKFIELD Dordy's versatility stood him and the team in good stead. During the season George played both fullback and quarterback, and played both more than capably. George helped with the kicking duties and did much of the passing. In next season's line-up George will be sorely missed. FRANK SMITH-TACKLE A Smitty is another two-year letter winner who will be missed next year. Frank could always be depended upon to give his best, allowing few gains to be made through his position. WALTER BREEN-END Wally was one of the few sophomores to gain a letter. An exceptionally sure tackler, Wally usually made his end impregnable to the opponents. Good news for the 1940 and 1941 teams is that Wally will serve on them. GEORGE URBAN-END Although he did not start every game, George was a deciding factor in winning them. All who saw the Crafton-Bridgeville game will attest that Urban helped decide the score. Since George is a junior, he will take his place in the 1940 Crafton line-up. NORBERT VATER-CENTER Nordy was an accurate passer and a deadly tackler in backing up the line. Next year, Vater is expected to repeat his past season's record. CHARLES O'BRIEN-TACKLE Chuck was always a dependable man on the squad, for he came through with flying colors whenever he was called on in an emergency. While Chuck was cheerful and good-humored, he was an aggressive and ever-fighting player. To the regret of Crafton rooters, Charlie has played his last season for the Cougars. Page Seventy One 0 PLAYERS IOHN SCHEAFER-GUARD Iohn is a fellow who has proved that it doesn't take three years to make the squad, for he made it the first time he came out. Scheafer was a fine blocker, vicious tackler, and an ever-fighting player who will be hard to replace next year. CHARLES I ARI-XC-END Charlie, one of the biggest fellows on the squad, used his build to good advantage. Few yards were gained around Charlie's end. He was also one ot the Cougars' pass receivers. Iarac is another senior who will be missed next year. PETER KOTSENAS-FULLBACK Pete made up for his smallness by his hard running, blocking, and tackling. A blocking back who helped pave the way for the ball carrier, he did a grand job. Pete will be missed in the Crafton line-up when the next football season comes. DeLOSS METTS-FULLBACK De was another blocking back who cleared the way for long gains. Although he did not play during the whole season, Metts was considered one of the most valuable members of the squad. DeLoss goes out with the graduating class and therefore will be lost to next season's team. IOHN BURFORD-HALFBACK Iack lacked stature, but his speed carried him for many gains through opponents' lines. Always a good passer, Burford proved exceptionally good on pass defense. lack, being a member of the Class of 1940, will be missed by Cougar fans when football season opens next fall. PAUL LUTZ-CENTER Paul was an exceptionally good passer, therefore, he had few bad passes on his ledger. He was also a deadly blocker, often backing up the line on defense very skill- fully. Paul, much to the delight of Crafton sport lovers, will be back next year. ROY IABLONSKI-MANAGER No team is complete without a good manager. Iabbo knew his job and did it well. Roy was certainly as much responsible as the players were for Crafton's successful foot- ball season. However, like most managers, Roy no doubt receives less credit than he deserves. Hats off to Iabbo for a swell job! 0 Page Seventy-Two FOOTBALL SCORES FOR 1939 Crofton 6 --- Crofton O --- Crotton 31 --- Crofton 19 --- Crofton 0 - - - Crofton 7 - - Crofton 6 - - - Crofton 6 - - - Crofton 24 - - - Crofton 6 - - - Moon Township U ---------- Scott 26 - - - - Clark U - - - Longley U - - - Dormont 21 - - Bridgeville O - - - Stowe 13 - - - Bellevue U - - - - Findley U ---- Carnegie 14 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1940 September 13 .....

Sitting: George Urban, Clarence Bigler, lack Glasgow, George Mitchell, Edward Wenrich. MR. MARLIN B, WENRICH, Coach The road back is a long one, and for that reason Crafton's teams are not at the pinnacle of success. However, the Blue and Gold showed steady improvement. The great number of returning veterans started the season off properly. The imperishable spirit of Winning kept the teams going throughout the year. With a fine show of sportsmanship and fair play the boys brought the season to a glorious close. At the end of the season Crafton had pulled itself up from last to fourth place in the sectional standings, it had bettered its total mark by almost one hundred points, and, best of all, the Couger team had never been out of the fight. ln every game lost by Crafton, the victor was never decided until the closing minutes of the fray. Since three of the first five men and five of the eight lettermen will return in the fall, Crafton, next season, should come a long way on the road back. O Page Seventy-Four PLAYERS I ACK GLASGOW-GUARD lack, being an exceptionally good long shot, was always a high scorer. His accurate passing to Bigler and Mitchell set up many scoring plays. By graduation, lack, a splendid defensive and offensive player, is lost to next year's basketball team. CLARENCE BIGLER-FORWARD Clarence, who is a sophomore this year, had the distinction of coming on the '39-'40 team as a letterman, for he produced a C in his freshman year. During the past season Clancy's one-arm shots from the side or center court so often tricked the opposition that he averaged close to nine points a game. Clancy will be back for two more seasons. GEORGE MITCHELL-FORWARD A, another sure-shot player, was from the side or under the basket a constant danger to the opposing team. On the defensive, to visiting basketeers, he was also a danger when getting the rebounds and loose balls. Since Ab is a junior, he will be back next year to help Crafton put over a successful season. EDWARD WENRICH-GUARD Eddie was one of the smallest players on the team, but what he lacked in size he made up for in spirit. He was also an. exceptionally good long shot and was adept at the foul line. Eddie's general all-round good playing will be missed next season, for he leaves Crafton High in Iune. GEORGE URBAN-CENTER George, at center, constantly played alert ball. He could shoot and pass as Well as any other man in the game but preferred to pass to a teammate. During the next season George will again fight for the Blue and Gold. CLIFFORD VON PEIN-CENTER Cliff was the tall, blond center who made such good use of his height in shooting from under the basket, and also on defense. When the next basketball season rolls around, Cliff will be sorely missed on the squad. PLAYER RICHARD BREEN-FORWARD Page Seventy-Five O Dick, the fast-cutting forward, could always be depended upon to come through in a tight game. He was especially talented at the foul line. Next year Dick will be back. WALTER BREEN-GUARD Wally is one of the sophomores who earned his letter this season. Because of his fighting spirit and because of foul shooting, which won the Mt. Lebanon game, Wally has earned a reputation. Within the next two years Breen will have many opportunities of displaying his basketball tactics. ROBERT DAVIS-MANAGER Bob was very efficient in performing his many difficult managerial duties. Perhaps his greatest service to the members of the team was his ability to dispel, through his sense of humor, the nervousness that takes hold of players just before a game. Next sea- son's manager will have a hard time filling Bob's shoes.

To help defend the Cougars' crown, five first-stringers from last year have returned. A star defensive unit is serving in the infield, and a hard- hitting and fast-fielding trio is taking care of the outfield. Then, too, George Wilson and George Mitchell are on hand to pitch the Cougars to another championship.

This morning awoke from a dream that I had missed the Snow Ball. Pinched myself to make sure I was awake, and looked at a calendar three times to make sure it was Friday. Was I relieved? At present am in the library getting some material for a scholarship essay contest. Can't keep my mind off that dance tonight. Boyll l'll bet my girl will be the prettiest one there. Better get back to my essay soon or the period will be over. 4 P.M. This afternoon was a substitute teacher at the Second Ward School. Disappointed by my assign- ment. Taught one English class and was just a plain librarian for two other periods. Would rather have taken my French test than to have sat around being a policeman for two periods. Saturday, February 24, 1940 2 A.M. Iust got back from one of the swellest dances Ive ever been to. My girl was as pretty as a picture, Was surely proud of her even though she is a fresh- man. Wish I could dance a little better. Bet Miss Taylor wishes I could too. During one of those jitter- bug numbers I must have kicked her hard because she let out a painful yelp. Really, it was an acci- dent. After the dance, went out to Waner's for a while and then danced some more down at Bunny's. Had the best time. Didn't get tired dancing. Prob- ably because I was with cz swell girl. Thankful that my dream of not getting to the dance didn't come true. EXAGGERATED ADVERTISEMENT Mother Nature, as if commissioned by the Girl Re- serves, presented Crafton with an elaborate adver- tisement for the Snow Ball which was to be held on February 23, l940. Early Tuesday afternoon, February l3, a steady snow began to fall and continued to fall all night. Few of the Crafton inhabitants were prepared for the scene on which they opened their eyes the following day. Eighteen inches of white, wet snow had fallen. The world was truly a white world that day. Fewer than half the students enrolled managed to get to classes that day, but those that did were sights to behold. Bright arrays of color were very popular. The majority of the girls wore snow suits and snow pants to classes instead of skirts. Mary Boston wore navy Libby green, black, and red. Evelyn and Eleanor Ransone wore blue ones, Dot Alexander wore maroon ones, Gibson wore brown ones, and others wore green jadphurs, while Maureen Korbely and Altha Stevenson wore tan ones. The boys showed more variety in their outfits. Larry Kossler donned high leather boots with the cuffs of bright red socks to top them off. Ken Larson wore boots, which he kept open in school and which could be heard before seen. Many wore knee boots, but Bob Bennett wore rubber boots which very closely resembled fishing boots. Classrooms and halls at C. H. S. looked like a convention of sports- men that day. Everyone managed to have his bright- est colors on to add glamour to the occasion. Because of weather conditions, pupils were able to retain their new school togs until the day of the dance, a week and three days later, and many times were rudely reminded of the Snow Ball by 'portions of huge advertisements settled on Crafton by Mother Nature. -LaVERNE FARNEN, '40 Page One Hundred Three O RTS HIS BIG CHANCE A record-breaking crowd had gathered to see Cen- tral battle its arch rival, Dayton. Central had fought gallantly and was leading, 7-0. The boys from Day- ton now had the ball and were threatening to score. Ioe Carter was a substituteg at least, that's how he was listed on the program. Ioe had been out for the team for three years but as yet had never been called on to play. Bill Boyd, captain and 50-minute man, was regular left half. As Ioe watched his team being pushed toward their own goal, he wished and wished hard. If only he could carry that ballg if only Bill would--but no, Bill was the star and played every minute, every game. As Central finally took the ball on downs, a hush came on the crowd. Could Central score again and be sure of the game? Bill Boyd called his own signal, and, streaking down the field, took the fifty-yard pass on the enemy's ten and was hauled to earth by a half-dozen blue jerseys. Ioe's heart was in his mouth when he saw Bill fail to rise. The coach and trainer ran onto the field and carried Bill to the bench. Ioe was stunned. The next minute the coach came to Ioe and told hcim to go in and do his best. He dashed onto the field and reported. He would show them he was as good as Bill Boyd and maybe better. He saw the dejected looks his teammates gave him. Yes, he would show them too. When time was in, he crowded into the huddle. A faraway voice said A-S 22. A-S 22, that was Ioe's signal. The teams lined up, the ball was snapped, and Ioe ran. He headed for the sidelines and then cut back per- fectly, just as Bill had done so often. He faked the secondary, twisted from the arms of one would-be tackler, straight-armed another, and crossed the last white line that is the difference between Victory and defeat. The crowd went wild, then hysterical. There was only one thing that Ioe had forgottenlthe ball. -FRANK SMITH, '40 FAVORITES During my four years in Crafton High School I have had a favorite class for each year. While I was a freshman, I liked my algebra class, but our teacher was one of those persons who could put his subject across or kill one in the attempt. I'm still here. In my sophomore year, Latin class was my favorite. Latin is often called a dead language, but, at least, there was nothing dead about that class. That year it was the craze to put tacks on the seat. It was a joke for us to say, that if one didn't get the point of the lesson one way, he certainly got it in another. In my junior and senior years, my favorite class has been French. How I did, and still do, abuse that language! But how I did enjoy, and still do enjoy itl Soon I shall be saying good-bye to French class and to all the other classes that have made my high school days the happiest ones I have thus far known. -BETTY ANN PETRIE, '40 SCHOOL DAYS In my first and second years of high school, I heart- ily disliked school. The mathematics teacher de- manded that we know our fundamentals, the Latin teacher declared that we must know our verb forms: O Page One Hundred Four RT the English teacher commanded us to read As You Like It'4' and Iulius Caesar , the history teacher wanted us to know what Bismarks' aims were, and our biology teacher compelled us to learn the mean- ing of metamorphosis. Surely there was nothing at- tractive in that daily routine. However, in my third year at school I tolerated school, although the teachers continued to request and demand answers to all kinds oi questions that seemed unimportant to me. Now in my last year I really like school. I have come to realize that teachers do not ask questions just to have something to do, but because they are anxious for us to learn certain things. Instead of dis- liking school and desiring to leave it, I now like it and have no desire to leave it. It only there were some way to make underclassmen realize that much of value can be learned in school, and that teachers are desirous that we make better grades, there would be happier students and tachers. -FLORENCE KIRBY, '40 A SALUTE TO SPRING Lifting my weary eyes from my textbook, I looked out, from Room 5, into a cold, drizzling, winter-spring day, and saw him. On a branch of the pussy-willow bush which was bowed to earth under a snowy burden, he sat outlined against the gray March sky. His dark brown feathers were ruffled by the cold and his yellow feet were buried in the snow. Disregard- ing the frisky wind, he sat looking disdainfully about him. 'Suddenly his black beady eye caught sight of a split twig in which could be seen a gray, furry bud. With his little red chest puffed out with joy, he Whis- tled his salute to spring. A IEAN PHILLABAUM, '40 MY GREATEST EXPERIENCE It was the day of the big game on the opponents' field, which gave them a little bit oi an advantage. Of course, I didn't get into the game at the begin- ning. At the end of the first quarter I was sent in but pulled before the next quarter started. The same thing happened at the end of the third quarter. Dur- ing the fourth quarter our star was injured. The coach called to me, Ray, now is the time to get in there. We depend on you. I got cold feet and tried to skin out of it, but the coach ordered me in. So I picked up my bucket and sponge and started in. My assistance helped our team win because it brought our star back to con- sciousness and he made the only touchdown of the game. -RAY SCHNEIDER, '41 DEFEAT Not a sound, save the bus driver grunting as he swings the big bus around the crowded lot. Gloom, dark gloom hangs like a wet blanket over the bus. Bill Tallon and Smitty sit like statues, not moving, staring into space. In the back of the bus a mum- bling stirs the silence when Iay Caughey, N01-dy Vater, Paul Lutz, Chuck Proctor, and Bud Myers vow that they will square things next year. Fritzie Vater silently moves over to sit beside Glasgow. Pete Kotsenas and Don Heth wipe their dirty, sweaty faces with a damp towel. Pop Wenrich, up front, sits straight as a board, and motionless save for the occasional twitching of his face muscles. Chuck Iarac and Chuck O'Brien lean back, shut their eyes, apparently trying to forget the game. Dick and Wally n Page One Hundred Five O RT Breen sit staring moodily out of the window. There is an awful something that you don't like to feel or see, written on every face in the bus. Defeat, the mighty hard thing to take, is doing these things to the boys-to the team who on Monday morning will be he easy victims of the side line quarterbacks who will criticize the team and will not let up until the next game. U l -CHARLES PROCTOR, '41 A BRITISH VICTORY It was very foggy, and the sun was slowly rising in the east. The ERASER, which was lying at anchor in London harbor, rocked as the waves splashed against her sides. Tom Manders, a tall, dark, well- built commande'r in the English navy, stood on the deck of the ERASER giving orders to the men who labored before him. He was dressed as an ordinary captain, and his ship looked like a typical freighter. However, Captain Manders had hidden under the deck large guns that could easily be brought into use. He had orders to sink the submarine that was preying on ships off the coast of England. He knew what he was supposed to do, and the British govern- ment knew that he would do it. Captain Tom gave the order to weigh anchor, and the ERASER started down the Thames. Out into the open sea went the vessel, and then the Captain told the crew the purpose of the voyage and told each man what he was to do when the submarine was sighted. After traveling about twenty miles from the coast, the crew of the ERASER saw the submarine. The Captain of the sub no doubt had sighted the ERA- SER and, thinking it a freighter and being in need of oil, had taken this chance. He now stepped out into sight and ordered Captain Tom to surrender or be blown to bits. Captain Tom didn't replyg so Von Schiller, the commander of the sub, lowered a boat to board the ERASER. Captain Tom told the men to be ready to man the guns, but to wait until Von Schiller was a safe distance from the sub. As Von Schiller approached the ERASER, Captain Tom push- ed a button, and powerful guns came into view from below deck. Immediately, the men prepared to fire the guns. Von Schiller, realizing he had been tricked, tried to return to the sub, but a loud boom told him it was too late. The ERASER's first shot scored a direct hit, followed by another hit, and the Germans aboard the sub leaped into the water. The sub- marine started toward the bottom, leaving behind an oil-covered track, filled with swimming Germans, Shortly after, Von Schiller and all other survivors were taken prisoner by Captain Tom and were re- turned to England and interned for the duration of the war. Of course, Captain Tom was rewarded. -ROBERT IOYCE, '4l. THE END OF A PERFECT DATE Bob carefully adjusted his tie and surveyed him- self in the mirror. After 'two months of saving and doing odd jobs, he at last had enough money to take lean to dinner. I After spending several hours in walking the city and looking over the dining places, he qt lqsf had decided upon the Palea Royal , which in his mind was just the' thing. 0 Page One Hundred Six ARTS Confident that he was thoroughly groomed, Bob walked into the living room just as the clock struck six. He still had an hour before he was to call for Iean. After a restless hour spent in reading, eat- ing, combing his hair, and muttering, Bob finally was ready to leave. When lean greeted him at the door, he felt sure that he had never seen anyone so lovely. She was dress- ed in a powder blue dress of soft silk and wore a blue hat that matched her eyes. It was just a short ride to the city and soon they were at the Palea Royal. Having been seated at a scheduled table for two, Bob began to read the menu. For two weeks previous he had been studying a num- ber of etiquette books on how to order, but they gave no suggestions as were on this menu which appar- ently consisted of French dishes and meaningless terms. When Iean had selected, Bob ordered the same, not trusting himself to these foreign dishes. When the order appeared, it consisted of creamed chicken on toast, mashed potatoes, peas, salad, rolls, and a drink which Bob had never tasted before. After eating their dinner and talking, Bob was even more sure that lean was perfect. Again he ordered as she did for dessert and found it to be cr delicious French pastry and creams. They lingered over these delicacies, but at last came the time when they should leave. Bob helped Iean with her coat, and then he proudly drew forth his hard-earned five dollars. The waiter handed Bob the check. For a few minutes he stared in silence and then said, Isn't this a mistake? 4for the check read Sl2.50 and Bob had but 55.00. No, said the waiter. But I don't have enough money. Maybe I can Call home and borrow it. Bob was now very much embarrassed because he did so want to create a good impression on lean. When Bob dialed home, only the ring answered him. I'll go home for it. U But the waiter would not permit it, and the bill must be paid at once. At least, I can take my girl home? asked Bob. The waiter replied, You'll need her to help you wash the dishes. At the end of four hours, a very tired and embar- rassed boy bade Iean good-night and humbly apolo- gized for his error. lean says that that date was the most exciting one she has ever had. -MAUREEN KORBELY, '4 l. THE LAST SOLDIER This is a long story, so those of you who are not in- terested had better turn the page to read something else. This is a story of India, a story of bloodshed and battle, of adventure and misfortune. Still in- terested? Danny McKaye, first class private of the Oueen's Rifles, 32nd regiment, marched under the blazing sun with a full knapsack, rifle slung on his back, and hands in his pockets. Danny slouched along, he walked like a drunken sailor on shore leave for the first time in months. The rest of Danny's comrades straggled in disordered ranks that bespoke dog- tired men. Company, halt! The command was obeyed quickly and not unwillingly. Humph, said Danny between dust-caked lips. T'is a sorry bunch of men. R When the order rang out to make camp, the noon- day sun found the 32nd regiment sweltering in their tents. Have any idea where we're going? asked Danny of his tent-mate, a grey little Scotchman. Somewhere near Lahowraf' And where might Lahowra be? asked Danny. Oh, up on the frontier-a God-forsaken place, too. We're probably going up to relieve the garrison stationed there now, replied the Scotchman. The blazing sun was the only one that saw two swarthy faces peering out of the confusion of rocks that bordered the camp. There lie the swine, Mohammed, whispered one. Aye, replied Mohammed. Very soon they will lie down for a long rest. With this they disappear- ed, flickering shadows among the boulders. A half hour later the reveille soundedg the men tumbled out of their tents, struck camp, assembled in ranks of four. Forward march! Like a giant snake, the regiment wound among the foothills of the frontier. The farther the regiment marched, the rougher became the road and the deep- er became the ravines. Tall, foreboding cliffs seemed to Warn the band. Sure and l don't like this, muttered Danny. Seems kind a' scary, doesn't it, whispered the Scotchman. Suddenly as the men rounded a corner, the cliff walls fell back and the whole company breathed a sigh of relief. ln the distance the men could see Fort Lahowra. The regiment marched up to the fort and general commotion greeted them as the gates were Page One Hundred Seven I TS thrown open. Captain Yeates, who had brought the relief column, greeted Major Brown. Both men went into the major's headquarters. The next morning Major Brown gathered his men and marched off. It seems lonely now with all those fellows gone, said Danny to his ever-present companion. Before the Scotchman could reply, Captain Yeates strode up. McKaye, you'll stand sentry duty, you'll be relieved by McPherson in two hours. Yes, sir, replied Danny, shouldering his rifle and climbing the stairs to the wall. Scanning the horizon, Danny discovered a small cloud of dust. Looking through his binoculars, he dis- covered a large group of horsemen carrying lances and guns. He called the captain, who looked grave when he saw the band. This means trouble, he said. Nothing more developed then and Danny was re- lieved by his Scotch friend. Later that night, Danny set bolt upright in his bed. Funny, he muttered, seemed like I heard some- thing. It was as though he was answered by the sentry's challenge. Halt, who goes there? The challenge was followed by a crash and fusilage of shots. Danny rushed out of the barracks to the square where the bugler was blowing the alarm. Captain Yeates rushed out ot his quarters with a sack, while McPherson reported that they had shot a man whg was snooping around. Men, addressed Captain Yeates, that prowler left us a little present before he died. He threw it over the wall into my room. He shook the contents O Page One Hundred Eight RTS out of the bag. A large brown thing, about the size of a coconut, fell out, bouncing and rolling until it finally stopped at the sergeant's feet. A horrified gasp went up from the ranks, for staring up at them was the severed head of Major Brown. You all know what this means, said the Captain. Major Brown and his men were slaughtered to a man. Throwing his head in here was just a warning. The sentries will be doubled tonight. The rest will get as much sleep as possible. An hour before sunrise, the reveille sounded and the men tumbled out of their cots, dressed. and as- sembled in the barrack square. Captain Yeates step- ped into the square as a sentry called out that the enemy were in sight. Sound the alarm! yelled the Captain. Up to the walls, boys, and hold your fire, he added. With a shout the men scrambled up to the walls. Outside, a whole army of fanatic Pathans charged down on the fort. Each rode a lathered pony, bran- dished a sword, and hurled curses at the infidels. Every man in the fort stood steady and none showed nervousness under the oncoming avalanche. A hun- dred yards, eighty, seventy, fifty, twenty, and when it seemed as if they would trample down the fort, the command came. Firel A thundering roar came from the fort to beat down the Pathans as a hurricane beats down na grain field. The bugle sounded to fire at will. Finally, when the scattered hillmen fled back to their shattered ranks, the command came to cease fire. Dead and dying covered the field in front of the fort and fifteen men lay stretched out inside the fort. Captain Yeates detailed every third man to go below to have something to eat. Then a red ball of flame, the sun, shot above the horizon and glared down upon the men in the fort. Suddenly with a yell and a thundering roar of hoofs, the hillmen swept down on the fort again. This time the Pathans lost about fiftymen and the British lost twenty-five. Snipers from the rocks pep- pered the soldiers without mercy. Danny McKaye sought safety behind a protecting parapet. Give 'em the devil, laddy, sang out Angus Mc- Pherson. Leaning over from behind his wall, he was about to say something else. A sniper's bullet nearly took his head off. Danny stood there stunned. As Mclfherson slithered to the ground, Danny turned and began to shoot mechanically. A fanatical tribesman who had galloped up to the very walls of the fort, pulled his horse up sharply behind a mass of boulders. Alighting from his charger, he walked up to a swarthy man. We seem to make no progress, Mohammed, he growled. Aye, the infidels fight like cornered rats, replied the other. Let us enter the men in one great sally against the dogs and if they hold out we shall have a truce and see if they will surrender. And if they don't surrender, what then? asked Mohammed. Only Allah knows, replied the other with a shrug of his shoulders. The third charge was like the first and second, re- ceiving a withering fire from the fort, but the Pathans won their way up to the very walls of the fort. Not being able to scale the walls, they fell back. As it had already been decided to hold a truce, Moham- med rode slowly out of the protecting cover of the Page One Hundred Nine 0 ARTS rocks. Receiving no fire from the British, he continued slowly with his white banner flapping in the breeze. The fort seemed strangely quiet. Finally the gates swung open with a crash, and Saints above -- who should walk out but Danny McKdye. The truce-bearer greeted him in excellent English. Well, demanded Danny, what's on your mind? The visitor began at once in a business-like tone. Sahib, he replied, both sides have heavy losses and to prevent any more we wish that you surrender your fort. Uh yeh? said Danny. And what happens to us? With any fort you guys could knock us all off. Who do you think you're fooling anyway, Buddy? No, Sahib, you and your men will be granted full military honors, keeping your arms and anything else you want. All we want is the fort. Danny scratched his head. Well, OK. It's a deal. The fort will be surrendered in half an hour. Very good, Sahib, replied the Pathan, extending a hand which Danny gripped in a firm clasp. A half hour later, a double line of Pathan horsemen stretched from the gates far into the distance. The surrendering army would have to march out between them. A burst of a bugle inside the fort brought them to attention. A drum was beating the time for marching feet. The doors swung open and under the gaze of two hundred pairs of eyes, with flag flying from his knapsack, rifle slung on his shoulder, in full kit, beating a drum, appeared Danny McKaye. Where are the others? asked the incredulous Pathans. All dead from the last charge, replied Danny. The hillmen had had victory within their grasp. The Pathan kept his word but it must have cost him much. Danny marched down that long lane of wild horsemen with his flag proudly flapping in the breeze, keeping time with his drum. As the little dirty-faced figure proudly tramped down that lane, two hundred swords flashed in the air and two hun- dred throats, roared like one, filling the valley with a noise like thunder, paying tribute to the last sol- dier. -ROBERT DAVIS, '41 . COMEBACK It was the night before we played Dunnville for the hockey championship and Red was nowhere to be found. Red was my star center. l'd brought him up from the minors and taught him all I could. Two years ago he was voted the best center in the league and he would have been last year if Pusie of the Maple Leafs hadn't stepped in and taken fate into his own hands. That was a hard game. There were three minutes left in the overtime period. Two Maple Leafs were in the penalty box, while our sextetie was still burning up the ice. With the score tied at four all, Red took a pass from Slim Peterson and was off like a bullet, past all the defense except Babe Pusie who, unable to hook the puck, slashed at his ankles, tripping him and causing him to miss the shot. Red was carried off the ice with a broken ankle, ending the game for us. Red worked all summer strengthening his ankle and by fall was ready. He wanted one thing, a chance at Pusie. I Page One Hundred Ten ARTS Opening the season against the Buckhorns, last year's champs, we knew we had a battle. We took the ice with our first line composed of Red at center, Slim at right wing, and Swede' Iohnson at left, always a sure-fire combination. Midway in the final period, Swede came charging like a mad bull up the ice, sizzled a pass across to Slim who in turn passed to Red, only Red wasn't there and Slim took a hurried shot at the cool goalie who easily parried his shot. Red was slowing down. In the next game, Red started on what seemed to be his solo dash, but got to the defense and the puck was pulled off his stick. Red was afraid. After our three series at home we took to the road. To be hounded with a jinx that early in the season could make or break a team. At the end of our road trip all the other teams knew of Red's weakness. No one knew it better than Red himself. He finally came to me to say he was through. He was scared and didn't want to wreck the entire team. He said if I ever needed him, he would do all he could to help me. I replied that that was kind of him and was sorry he wanted to quit. We managed to pull through the season, to find ourselves in the playoffs. We needed the money, so we stuck it out and finally won ourselves into the finals, where we were to play the Maple Leafs. All season our team had been going to the dogs, we needed Red. Even if he sat on the bench, it would pep up the boys. I tried to get in touch with him but no one knew where he was. I couldn't locate him anywhere and our first game was the next night. One night I happened to stop in a bar down in his old neighborhood and the talk naturally turning to hockey, I mentioned Red's name. The barkeeper knew of a fellow fitting his description, but doubted if he were the fellow because this man was always drunk. Knowing that Red liked alcohol, I took the chance. The bartender didn't know where he was then, but said he would probably be in tomorrow. I left my 'phone number and went. At four the next afternoon, while my boys were at signal practice, I got a call from the bartender. He said Red was there, drunk. At four o'clock I pulled up before the place and walked in. There was Red, a skeleton of his former self. He was sleeping in a chair. I tried to rouse him, but he was sound asleep. I put him in the car and sped back to the rink. I doused him under a shower, slung him on the train- ing table, and Lefty, our trainer, and I worked on him. Finally he sat up, wondering where he was. I explained and tossed him back under the shower. He made it alone and came out with a look of grati- tude in his eyes. I gave him an outfit and told him to see what he could do. He tried hard, but he was pretty weak, and his legs and ankles looked like India rubber. We just lost that game. Red had a certain heart- ening influence that I couldn't give. He practiced all the time he could. The game at Toronto was really a sight. There was one minute left in the third period when Swede slammed home a goal that was almost impossible. Red played a little, but made a poor showing. He was kicked around some by Babe Pusie, and was scared. Nevertheless, Swede's goal tied the games and the next day was a well-earned rest for both teams. Red, Slim, Swede, and I took the early train home and practiced all day. The next day I gave the boys a vacation so that they would be set for the deciding battle in the play- offs. Page One Hundred Eleven O RTS Red played all day, his nerve was coming back, and he wanted that chance at Pusie. That night he got it. It was in the second overtime period, score deadlocked at two apiece, when Red made another one of his solo dashes, bearing down on him was Pusie, at one side was Swede. Would he take the chance to lose the game? or pass to Swede who wasn't as shitty as he was? tor allow the puck to be stolen from him? The rink was silent, the enemies approachedp Red flicked a blazing pass to Swede, turned his shoul- der into Pusie, who folded up like an accordian, and zipped up the ice in Swede's wake. Swede pull- ed the goalie out of position, whammed a bullet pass at the oncoming red-headed toronado, who quickly shot the disk into the unguarded net. That's the story of Red's comeback. -DUD GALLUP, '4l. CALLING DAY Well, it does seem as though you might at least taste them, said Connie indignantly, looking at a plate of untouched popovers. I didn't feel any more like cooking them than you do about eating them. I know everybody ieels choosy about eating when the long winter rolls around, but there's such a thing as manners. Grandma Gilbert looked out of the window at the New England landscape. Her daughter and her son- in-law had rolled her bed up close to the window so that she could see what was going on. She drew a deep sigh, for today there was nothing to see but driving sheets of March rain. Connie, replied Grandma evenly, I guess when a body's been bedridden for ten years she can mislay a manner or two, now and then. Ii I could move my legs, I'd take pleasure in kicking over a tray, I'm so sick of them. Do you think anyone will come to call today? Hardly, said Connie, the rain has filled up every- body's cellar and they are all kept busy pumping the water out. Ours is drawing six inches of water al- ready. And there's a big leak in the ceiling of the back bedroom. The house is too old, said Grandma. It's as old as men and even homelier. It sure gets lonesome here when no one comes to call, but I guess a person gets tired calling when their calls aren't returned. I well remember how I usd to make calls regular, first and third Tuesday of every month. I found my card case today in the bottom of my writing case. Rather gave me a turn. I wish I were walking down Main Street again, holding the card case in my hand. You'd look nice walking down Main Street today, said Connie, even if you could. Mud would be over your ankles. The snow's melted so fast the gutters can't hold it. And whatever are you doin? Sitting there staring in such a wide-eyed fashion? It's the chunks of ice floating down Miller's Creek, said Grandma. They go bumping and piling up against each other. It's kind of exciting to look at. The following morning Grandma awakened to the sound of a gentle throbbing downstairs. Iackl she yelled to her son-in-law. What is making all that noise? Pump, said Iack. I had to start it goingg got so the water had come up to the coalbin. Miller's Creek is rising, too. 0 Page One Hundred Twelve ARTS How far? Has it reached the weeping willow tree? Not yet. Shucksl said Grandmag You haven't seen any- thing yet. It rained all that day. The next day the furnace went out. Connie put a kerosene stove in Grandma's room. She said, I'm sorry no one has come to call, but the road is simply impassable. Miller's Creek has overflowed and telephone poles are down. Again Grandma asked, Has it reached the weeping willow tree? Connie replied, lt's gone past. The last I got on the radio everyone was ordered to leave Connecticut Valley for the inland. I wish, said Grandma, that included us. I'd rel- ish a little traveling. The rain continued through the night. Connie did- n't want the children to go to school, but lack said that they would be safer in school than at home. They piled into the automobile and left. Hurry back, cried Connie: I don't like being left alone. Funny things are beginning to float down the creek. I just saw' a chicken coop and a pair of steps 90 by- By two in the afternoon lack had not returned and Connie could not even reach central on the telephone. Connie, come here, quick, called Grandma sud- denly. Seems to me things are moving up Miller Creek instead of down. You're right, cried Connie. Here come the chick- en coop and steps I saw early this moming. Then, said Grandma, go get in the skiff and rush for aid. The dam has broken and the Connecticut River is backing up Miller's Creek. We're going to have a flood such as you or I or Noah never saw. At sunset the water had reached the second-story windows on Main Street, in the village. The drug store proprietor and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bates, were scanning the watery expanse from their attic window when Mr. Bates ejaculated: Great heavens, here comes the Gilberts' house, afloatin'l Can't be. Why yes it is, tool Sam, there's Grand- ma Gilbert a'sittin' in the window. As the house floated by Sam yelled, Hold on Grandma. lack has been a'tryin' to get back to you all day. I-le's a'gettin' help. A coast guard launch has been sent up from the Sound. They'll save you. She's a'smilin'. said Mrs. Bates in awe. Sam swallowed, She said 'How-do-We do'? She hopes We keep Well. It looks like an early spring. She's sorry she can't stay longer. By six o'clock the coast guard launch had rescued Connie, who had become grounded on a mud bank. Nancy Wilson, a neighbor, who had been rescued earlier, told Connie that before she had quit her house she had seen Connie's mother go sailing right by her own door and that she said she was sorry she had forgotten to bring a pint of her quince preserves. The Gilbert house had been grounded in a meadow, and Grandma, after being carried from the window on a ladder, spent an interesting night with the Red Cross. Page One Hundred Thirteen 0 RTS I almost saw her before she was rescued, said Mrs. King, who owned the old Turnpike Hotel. I was in my bedroom when something hit my house with an awful bump and by the time I reached the window I saw your house go floating by. On the floor inside my window was a paper which your mother had drop- ped in as she hurried by. Look! It was Grandma Gilbert's calling card. -IEAN SCHOENEMAN, '41 SNOW We'll never forget Saint Valentine's Day, 1940. A record breaking snowfall of eighteen inches had par- alyzed traffic and held thousands snowbound. It did not, however, prevent teachers and most of the stu- dents of Crafton High School from reaching their classes. They had to walk in snow knee-deep until slowly they strolled into class an hour or so late. Some of the teachers came in taxies, and as they reached their rooms they saw the sad faces of the students who were much disappointed to see them. There was not much work done in classrooms, for there were more pupils absent than were present. At the end of periods the halls, usually crowded and very noisy, were quiet and almost empty. Going to and from school, everyone walked in the streets where the snow wasn't so deep. Snowballs were tossed, and everyone jumped and rolled in the deep snow. Although many of the older people did not like the great snowfall, most of us girls and boys should be more than glad to see it again. -MADELON FLYNN. '42 A SEEMINGLY WRONG DAY When Mother called me this morning I rolled over and slept another half hour. Finally having got up, I went to wash my teeth. Half asleep, mistook the shaving cream for toothpaste. That really woke me upl As I was walking down the stairs, my foot caught and I sailed down about six. My father said I should be more careful, but that didn't make the bump on my head feel any better. I ate my breakfast, grab- bed my books from the table, and ran for the street car. Of course, for about three minutes I couldn't find my car pass. As soon as my first class assembled, the teacher called on me to answer a question. I opened my notebook, o-nly to find that I had taken my brother's by mistake. The teacher looked at me very suspiciously and called on the next pupil. So it went all day. The last bell was a joyful signal for me, so I thought. Nothing else could happen. But it did. At dinner I unconsciously stirred my coffee with my fork. fYes, I know one shouldn't stir one's coffee, but that trend of etiquette has nothing to do with my story.J Was my face red? Right after dinner I went to bed so that nothing else could happen. But it did- I had bad dreams. , -SARA BROOKS, '42 HOW DO YOU LIKE HIGH SCHOOL? In many ways older people show that they take an interest in our affairs. Of course it is natural they should do so, but why must they ask absurd ques- tions? How do you like high school? is one of the silliest questions one could ask a freshman. Whose busi- I Page One Hundred Fourteen RT ness is it if one doesn't like high school? Of course, one would not say he did not like it, for Crafton High School is all any school could be. True enough ,there are no marble staircases or unusual gymnasium equipment, but what does that matter when one's school is-well-just Crafton High? How do you like high school? seems to be the only question an adult can ask a freshman. There is as much originality in the query as in, lsn't the weather nice? How do you like high school? is a question that makes freshmen believe that adults must think high school is a place where terror-stricken freshmen are bewildered by the immensity of the building. What great difference is there between grade and high school? Not much. There is some difference, though, because as one looks back to eighth grade, those little seats and some of the subjects seem rather childish. But, after all, don't we grow up gradually? Why should anyone think there is a great change between the two? How do you like high school? the questioner asks and then usually pays no attention to the affirmative answer ffor what freshman would dare to be so dis- loyal to his school as to answer negatively?l but goes right on with his list of senseless questions as if he were a representative from the United States Cen- sus Bureau. How do you like high school? after all seems to be about the only thing an adult can ask a freshman. What else can he ask? l can think of nothing elsep so probably when I grow up and meet a freshman I shall also ask, How do you like high school? -BARBARA PERRIN, '43 ADVICE Mickey was like any other boy of his age, indus- trious and full of lust for adventure, but his father was dead and Mickey didn't have the chances other boys had. His father had been a thief, but Mickey didn't know it until tonight. He had often wondered why his father didn't come home, but his mother had looked so sad lately, he hadn't the heart to ask. Then, to-day one of his father's friends had come and talked in private with his mother. At bedtime Mickey's mother had told him, After she had left the room, Mickey had crawled into bed, but was unable to sleep. He lay thinking of the story he had just heard. On a warm spring day a friend, the one who had come today, had called for his father and they left for their special work. They walked across the field to a large and imposing looking house. Gaining en- trance directly and easily, they started toward the room of valuables. As they were walking stealthily along the halls, they heard voices from within. They hid in a closet under the steps, and soon the footsteps passed. Mickey's father then got out of the closet and went to the room of valuables. He stepped inside the door quietly and went quickly to his death. His friend escaped notice and had been living in a hide-away until today when he brought the news. As Mickey was falling asleep, he repeated drowsily the advice his mother had given him, When you go for cheese, be careful to stay away from mouse- traps. -ANTHONY DALEY, '43 MISS BORGERDING . She is tall and graceful and very fair, She has lovely blue eyes and golden hair. At morning cmd noon she guards the hall And there has a pleasant smile for all. We all of us think that she is high tops,' Especially when she comes to our hops. We have good times and plenty of fun With the teacher who rules Two-O-One. -EVELYN CAUGHEY, A WINTER VISITOR Amid the snow and winter cold Sometimes we see a bird alight, Among the lilac bushes old He cheers us with his plumage bright. This little bird of lovely red Who does not leave us as the rest, But in some near-by hedge instead Spends wintry days within his nest. And when the cold begins to go, His whistle 'tis that cheers the heart And tells us that beneath the snow Spring flowers Wait the word to start. -MARY BOTT '40 Page One Hundred Fifteen Q TO OUR GINGKO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF To a very charming pupil in our high school, To a tall, blonde girl, Miss Seventeen, Let us seniors pledge a toast. To a girl who combines alluring beauty and superior intelligence In one enticing package of pep and sparkling vitality: To a girl who has taken full advantage of the oppor- tunity to make the most oi her time Both in school and out, in the many extra-curricular activities in which she participatesg To an all-round girl, a member of the basketball team, an excellent dancer, An assistant editor of the NEWS O'CRAFT, and a prominent member of the National Honor Society, To a girl whose charms are unnumbered: blue eyes, blonde hair, a healthy glow to lips and cheeks, Fine features, excellent carriage and posture, the ability to dress well and look her best at all timesy To a girl whose all-round character is unexcelled: clean, trustworthy, cooperative, Amiable, good-natured, agreeable, helpful, gracious, ladylike, courteous, To a girl whose wit and humor and the ability to make real friends and keep them Have kept her at the top of the popularity list of the high school, To a girl who, well, to a girl who is really tops - Let us toast, iellow seniors, Miss Patricia Donley, Editor-in-chief of the GINKGO. -HARRY RANDALL, '40 0 Page One Hundred Sixteen RTS SOPHISTICATE I know a very happy man, McLaughlin is his name, He teaches Spanish to us kids, And thinks that We're insane. He always wears the darndest clothes, They're always loud and bright. His socks and ties, I dare to say, Could light the darkest night. He tells us things that he has done In far off Mexico- How once he kissed a sweet young gal Out in the moonlight glow. And now he's back a-teaching school- Back here where he can kid, And tell us things that he has done From Oslo to Madrid. -CHARLES BECK, '40 HOPES AND DREAMS I'd like to travel and see this land So richly filled with mysteries for me, To greet the dawn upon some mountain top And watch till the sun drops into the sea, To feel the touch ot Iune-warmed summer winds Across some sunny inlet bay, Or walk the tree-lined, lonely country lanes And breathe the perfume of the new-mown hay. -RUTH BOICE. '40 THE SONG OF THE DESK I'm only a little desk, But I hold a hundred mars, Each one tells a story, There's history in my scars. Heres a set of initials, Deeply engraved in a heart, These two now are married, Never to be apart. Here's a corrected problem, And there is a Latin word, These are very handy For some, as you have heard. I bear the names of pupils From '20 to '43, Names not to be forgotten, 'Till destroyed I shall be. -HELEN SMITH, '40 THE SNOW It decorates all buildings, large and small, It beautifies each tree and garden wall, It gives a silver lining to the night, And it lays on fields a blanket of white. More beautiful things may come and may go But none I adore as the lovely snow. -IACK MUZZIE, '42 Page One Hundred Seventeen I RTS THE GREAT SNOW Never shall I forget the day, When I attended Crafton High, That tons and tons of pure white snow Were loosened from the leaden sky. I early opened up my eyes, Quite ready for a bright new day, But much to my delightful joy The skies with fleecy clouds were gray. With glee and pep I dressed for school ln snow-suit, boots, and hood, And starting on my school-ward way, I trudged as best I could. The pure white snow was piled on steps, On car track, streets, and lawns, so high That even to this very day I wonder how I did get by. With pluck and grit I got to school, With pleasure heard my teacher say, Unless the other teachers come, You'll be dismissed from school to-day. But that I knew was not my fate: My dreams, my dreams would not come true. And sure enough, at half past eight, They came-the faithful teacher crew. -FLORENCE BEHR, '40 MAY A babbling brook flows swiftly on Singing merrily, full of song, It sings that it feels light and gay, In this sweet month of merry May. Buds are waiting beside the brook Waiting for the warm sun to look At them and to nod and to say, Now open wide in full display. Violet, daisy, and buttercup, Each takes its turn in coming up, And in its turn each fades away, As must the month of merry May. -ELSIE CARNES, 40 FEBRUARY MORNING The world was black and dreary When we went to bed last night, But now it's bright and cheery, With snow that sparkles bright. God laid a blanket on it- A blanket soft and white. To Him above the task was small- To turn a black world white. -ARTHUR EVANS, '42 O Page One HundredtEighteen ARTS OH! THIS COURSE I'm sitting in my chair, And staring at the wall, l'rn wondering and wondering Why I took this course at all. Geometry comes first, With which I can't agree, The circles and the lines Don't mean a thing to me. Next comes Iunior English, A thing I cannot get. My other years of it Have not sunk in, as yet. Then there is the history! That's a pain in the neck, Because the names and dates, Leave me cr nervous wreck. French is one I really like, CPlease don't be misled.D I do the French translation Till I am nearly dead. Don't think I've been fooling And pdtting on a show, For after all, I take the course I guess I ought to know. HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES When I am old and gray and death's on its Way, I'll sit in my rocking chair, day after day, And recall to my memory the days that I spent In Crafton High, when I was content. I'll remember the football games so well, Basketball scores that rose and fell, Choruses that sang and stirred my heart, And dances that thrilled me from the start. Then I'll glance through the window and look at the sky As the sunlight fades downward and starts to die, My rocking finished, oh, what I would give, Those wonderful school days once more to relive. -SARAH KREPPS, '40 SPRING Spring, green leaves-thus another battle's won: Winter's down and on the stop is the sun, Our spirits soar high when trees are in bloom, And blossoms come forth to dispel the gloom. Each blade of grass comes up so fresh and green: High over all reigns proud nature supreme. The roses of pink, and salmon, and white Make us all rejoice with nature so bright. -FLORENCE POWELL, '41 -MARIE RENVERS. '42 Page One Hundred Nineteen I RT TO WALK IN THE RAIN As I walk in the rain, I dream of thingsp As it falls soft on my face, my heart sings. One song of Africa beats in my brain: I am a princess, walking in the rainy Slaves kneel before me, then fall at my feet. Off in the distance I hear tom-toms beatl The enemy comes-I must flee! But no-I am a princess, proud and true, I have courage to see this battle through. I hear the thump, thump of drums in space, But then-it's only the beat of rain on my face My thoughts Wander again, this time to Spaing I am a soldier, walking in the rain. I see twisted bodies, maimed and deadp And there lies a corpse without a heady I see animals and children wracked with pain. I see these things as I trudge in the rain. I see greed and hate as they walk the street, I stop and look down at my bloody feet. The sight makes me wake. I shiver. I start. These things make my mind to quiver. And, oh, how glad I am, sings in my brain, To be an American in the rain. -MARY LEE RORRICK, '40 ON GROWING OLD Although we are but sixteen, as a rule We feel old in the last year of high school. It seems that youth's end is drawing near, For we seniors will be grown-ups next year. Older people say when we voice our fear, You are just beginning to live, my dear. No longer a part of what we have been, We'l1 be merely outsiders looking in. We envy freshmen with three years to go, Dashing down school halls without care or woe We would be grateful for just one year more, But maybe Fate has some good thing in store -PAT RUSH, '40 TEACHERS Our pranks and jokes are all in fun, To make the teacher think we're dumb, But we all know that teacher's smart, And will understand in her own dear heart MARY STERLING, '42 0 Page One Hundred Twenty RTS PITTSBURGH CI-IICKADEES Some say, I don't like Pittsburgh. I See G pair of Chickadees H is so Cold cmd gray' From out my window ledge, I do not like the smoke and dirt They 'east upon the Sue' rich' I put out on the hedge. And the dark winter day. I listen and in my mind's eye I see a fairer day, With Pittsburgh changing constantly, As seasons pass away. There is a sight I would not miss- 'Tis Pittsburgh in the spring When every hillside blooms with leaf And all the red-birds sing. When summer comes with shimmering heat, The full-leaved trees give shadeg The night is lit with fireflies' glow As the sun's last beams fade. Late autumn paints the maples bright, Gold stars shine in the skies, The birds prepare their southward flight As Winter comes with sighs. I like the beauty Pittsburgh shows- In winter, its grey fog, In spring and summer, its leaves and birds, In fall, its tawny smog. -IOHN THOMAS, '43 She Blac Her She She She She She She 'Tis wonderful to see those birds, The way they flit aboutg One takes its turn to peck a bit, While its mate acts as scout. The weather is so very cold, The snow so very deep, I wonder how those little birds, Their cheerfulness can keep. -SUZANNE STEWART, '42 MISS MILLER is always there when needed Most k is the color of her halr. eyeS are green. reaches five Ieet Six inches. has a good sense of huMor. is Irresistible. is very nice Looking. has lots ot personaI.ity. is always bubbling with Energy.

I asked the maids, as man to men, What would they do next week, And do you know what they said to me? lGirls that used to be meekll You wear those awful purple plaids, And roll your trousers up, Your hair is ruffed and never combed, You yell like some young pup. I waited a minute, called a truce, And then gave up the fight, We were a mess, we all agreed, And so turned out the light. -IUNE BUHRMAN, '43 Page One Hundred Twenty-One I THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS T'was the day after Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was loating, Not even a mouse, The children were helping clean the rooms, With dust-mops, dust-cloths, sweepers, and brooms. My dog was sitting in front ol the tree, Making eyes at the dogs that Bill gave to me, When out of the kitchen there arose such a clatter, I ran through the house to see what was the matter. And there to my wondering eyes and my horror Our grandma had just dropped our good kitchen mirror. More rapid than eagles our questions they came, Bit Mom whistled and shouted and called us by name, I-Iey, Iunior, and Iulia, and Bill, and you, Dolly, And Grandma, and Grandpa, and the rest, by golly, Now get the dust-pan and get you to Work And then you may eat what's left of the Turk. We're glad to be able to relate to you This poem of an after-Christmas to-do. -JULIA d'AMBROSI, '41 -DOLLY d'AMBROSI, '43 O Page One Hundred Twenty-Two ARTS LITERARY DEVELOPMENT Don't You Remember?

Twelfth Grade- Haste thee nymph and bring with thee -ELEANOR RANSONE, '41 GINKGO DAY I was asked to write a poem in My study hour to-day, To put into the GINKGO Book For all the time to stay. I tried to write about flowers, And then about the moon, About the trees and birdies gay- It took a whole forenoon. Alas! for all my trouble My paper was a mess, I shall never make a poet, Too dumb, I must confess. -VIRGINIA BOTT, '4l I MAKE A POEM I think that I shall never know A day more densely packed with woe A day whose urgent cause is pressed Into willing hands to test A brain that long has been at rest: A day that creeps up to reveal This student,-incoherent heel. fThat poems are made by fools they say, Is proved by me this GINKGO Day.l -DOROTHY KEARNS, '41 Page One Hundred Twenty-Three O ARTS THE LOST CHORD Seated one day in assembly, In a quiet, secluded nook, My fingers wandered idly Over my history book. From the stage came a commotion, And although in a dream I sat, I heard a loud, long oration That drowned out my neighbors' chat. My dull thoughts took form within me As I heard the thundering strain, And coming to, I realized 'Twas a dull announcement again. -MARGARET WALKER, THE LAST ONE When I think of the fun I've had, It makes poor me feel rather sad To know that there will never be Another GINGKO Day for me. THANKS TO YOU No wonder we're happy, no wonder we're gay, Our favorite book came out today. KThe GINKGO? Yes, you have guessed it right.l And the staff should be filled with pride and de- ' light. They have told of friends who laugh or sigh, Of happy days in Crafton High, They have set a picture or ventured a name Of many a one who'1l be known to fame, They have set down things in such a way That the book will hold us for many a day. -MARY ELIZABETH IONES, '43 FEBRUARY 14, 1940 To-day the wind was bitter, The snow was up to my knees, My nose got red and redder, And my thumbs began to freeze. -HELEN MCNUTT, '40 -MARY CLARK. '43 0 Page One Hundred Twenty-Four ARTS STUDENTS The Freshmen are a timid sort, They wander here and there. They even take their nightwork home! Oh! they are creatures rare. The Sophomores look upon the class Below them as a bore, But when an upper classman comes, They melt right through the floor. The Iunior boys are athletic, They run, they jump, they row, They do these daring feats for girls, So girls will cry, O-H-H-HI The Seniors are so very nice, An easy life they live. They get the best ot everything And never have to give. -VINCENT WORCESTER, '41 MY DAY One dreary day I was late for school, I received a slip cmd learned the rule, I dropped a book on the library floor, Was sent to the office, and slammed the door, I fell asleep and began to snore, But I think I'll do that no more, When my gum I was forced to throw away, I gave up the fight and called it a day. -ROBERT NOBLE, '43 Page One Hundred Twenty-Five Q ART ATTEMPT GINKGO Dayl Oh, GINKGO Day! I'm glad you do not come to stay. The only day in all the year That I do dread and really tear. Three years ago Miss Ford asked me To try to Write a poem for thee. That GINKGO Eve I sat up late, But not a line could I create. Two years ago Miss Miller tried To make me Write, but how she sighed When I brought back a silly verse. I think she said, It couldn't be worse. This year I'm trying very hardl CI'm sure Miss Vogeley's on her guard.l But still I'm anxious to see Il this will bring me more than -NELSON ROBINSON, '40 DEPARTURE We leave our school with memories Ol four short years gone by, And as we walk down life's Worn steps, We'll think of Crafton High. We may have pulled our bonersg We may have been quite bad, And yet We'll never fail to love The fun and joy We've had.

Iust imagine Iunior and I I Page One Hundred Forty-Eight ACHIEVEMENT The little fellow on the end of the bench was plainly nervous. He was watching the big basket- ball game between State and Central, knowing that at any minute he might be called to do his share for State. It was the crowd that had him worried. He had never before performed before one so big or so noisy. The players were like vultures, waiting to pounce on his mistakes, waiting to boo him and to make life miserable. The suspense was beginning to tell. In spite of his thin costume, beads of perspir- ation stood out on his forehead and upper lip. Thenl There it wasl His signal! He leaped to his feet, snatched a towel and tossed it to the dripping players. Then contented, he withdrew to his small corner of the bench. Charles O'Mahony, '41 THE GAME The whistle blew and the game finally started. It was a contest between the Uppers and the Lowers. The game began with the Uppers in possession of the ball. They tried to work a trick play around right end, but the Lowers knocked down the interference and smeared the man who was carrying the ball. With the ball still in their possession, they tried a quick reverse but the ball carrier was tackled and fumbled the ball. A player on the Lowers' team picked up the ball and started to run toward the opponents' goal, but five of the Uppers dived on him and stopped him dead. On the next play the Lowers' star faded back, protected by beautiful block- ing, and shot a bullet-like pass to a fellow playei waiting in pay dirt territory. As he reached for the ball, however, he was clipped from behind and a penalty was called on the Uppers. On the next play the ball was fumbled and rolled around until prac- tically all of the players in the game pounced on it, but the center of the Uppers beat them all. On the next play, which was the old sleeper play, the Lowers were penalized for shoving and tripping. lust then the game ended and the interesting contest was over. Was this an enthusiastic football encounter be- tween two rooms in Crafton High? No, it was just an ordinary basketball game, in any gym class, on any Monday. Clifford Mikus, '42 SH-H-H-H meeting you here. It seems so dark in here compar- ed to the outside, doesn't it? I don't usually bring Iunior to the movies because he talks and squirms so much in the dark that he is a bother to other peo- ple. You know how little boys are. But I did want Iunior to see this picture. I mean the part where the boats are in action. He is just wild about boats and guns and things like that. Yesterday I saw the picture, and I said right away to myself that I must bring Iunior to see it. The boats are quite thrilling, aren't they? Or haven't you seen the pic- ture before, Ioan? The rnan who was sitting next to me yesterday got so excited when the boats came on the scene that-Oh, wait I believe that this is just the place where that scene comes in. Yes, there it is. Look, Iunior. Watch the big boats fight. Wasn't that exciting, dear? Mother knew that you would like it. Well, Ioan, I guess that we will go now. Children get too restless in the movies, don't they? Come along Iunior. Sh-h-h-h You must be quiet, dear-we don't want to disturb anyone, do we? Ruth Greiner, '40 CAN I HELP IT? It was exactly seventeen' minutes before nine o'clock when I walked into Mr. Brunk's office. Good moming, I said. I..ate'? he inquired. Yes, sir. What's the trouble? I didn't know what time it was. How was I to know that the electricity was shut off last night? We have an electric alarm. If what you say is true, put that down in writing on the yellow slip here. How many times have you been late? So many times that I can't count them. If I had my way you would stay in tonight and tomorrow night until six, but in the morning. no.- I'm taking my time with you: so sit down on that chair. Chatterbox O'Connell and Scatter-Brain Bond came into the office. Poor old Ice, they chorused. iAre you having any fun? What's wrong, asked Chatterbox, at least you could say 'hello'. Oh, go fly a kite. All's well. maybe. Heck, everything happens to me. Oh laugh it off. chirped Scatter-Brain: you're just careless. I've been late a couple of times and haven't been caught yet. just then, out of the corner of my eye, I spied Smarty Pants Anderson running down the hall. Hey, Good Looking. what's new? I asked him. He came over to the door and sighed, Blow me down. if it isn't Ioeg but stranger things have happen- ed you know. I thought that it must have been two other people. How can I get out of this jam? Don't you put the bee older you grow. the worse I wonder if you'feel on me, he retorted. The you get. So long. the way I do? I said to myself.

Q Page One Hundred Fifty ESCAPADE The morning I was waiting to be called to the office was certainly a time of misery. I knew I was wrong for playing hooky, but it was too late to worry then. Everybody was telling me what he would do to me. When the door would open, my heart would skip five beats. When he finally came, I felt as a man must feel when he starts out on the last mile. Up to the ofice we went. I-Ie led the way. After we had reached the office, he questioned me, and I told him the truth. Then he pronounced the sentence, Ten mornings at eight o'clock. Was it worth it? It wasn't. -Iames Swindell. '4l THE FASHION A girl who sat in front of me at the show last week, had on a most interesting hat. I guess it was a hat, for it was on her head. It looked like a bicycle tire with bits of glass piled over it. On top was a bird, a purple bird, looking at the glass from a perch on some delicious grapes. If you've ever seen dark brown grapes, you can imagine how deli- cious they looked. From somewhere a feather rose to a dizzy height to add a final touch of nothing in particular. Leon Seifert, '40 A CRAFTON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER'S DIARY Moon Township-Twilight game. How I missed that big supper. The dirt on the field tasted awully dry. Scott-Night game. Boy, that field was soft except when their halfback and tackle were on me. Clark-We beat them 31-0. Miss Vogeley said we were mean. Yeah? I got a black eye and sprained ankle. Langley-Played against some of my old friends. They didn't act like friends though. Dormont-They were easy. We held them to twenty points. Boy! Did they have nice cheerleaders! Bridgeville-This was my best game. II dropped a pass that was good for a touchdownj Bellevue-Nice bus ride. We finally squeezed out a touchdown to beat them. Findley-I had three oranges at the half. Boy, did we beat them! tNote: They averaged twenty pounds less than we did.D Stowe-How that halfback could run. I think they camouflaged him-he was so fast, Carnegie-I'm sure once they had two teams and the water boy in there. It sure felt like it. I can still feel four of their players on my chest. Paul Panneton, '40 SHORT. SHORT STORY Some people have more fun than anybody. Iust to prove this statement, let us take as an example a recent happening in Whiffenthatchet High School. Professor Lesnorsmorfel was conducting a class in not too ancient history. To one of his stooges, I mean students, he put the following question: Lord Chest- erfield, seeing that death was near, called his friends around him, and just before he breathed his last, he spoke those immortal words. What were they? In reply to this brain numbing interrogation, the student, later identified by his Social Security Card as August T. Piffthrotle, said, They satisfy! All persons and places depicted in this master epic are fictional and any similarity to persons living or dead is not coincidental but is intentional. Iames McAllister, '40 REI-'LECTIONS ON GINKGO DAY At last I have time to sit down and write my manuscript for GINKGO. I have a lot of swell ideas. Let's see. There's the one about quotations from famous poems. What'll I call it? Tid-bits from - no, that sounds too much like pineapple. Well, I won't give it a title-sort of the unfinished symphony. Famous poets-let's see. How about the Raven and a couple of lines, from Macbeth, and that To Be or Not To Be we learned in public speaking class? Make it useful for something in life. And what else? A sprinkling of-hmm-must have run out of ideas. Maybe my English book will help. I don't know, though, it looks like a pretty big book. Probably take a lot of work. Guess I better try one of my other ideas. The one about-no, I guess that's been used Vbefore. Seems to me it's here in the '37 GINKGO. Gee, some pretty cute guys graduated in '37, Guess I came along too late. No more ideas. Might as well write the heading on the top of the paper. That kid sitting in front of me has big ears. Wonder what he looks like in a hat. Hal Hal Must be funny-What's he reading? One of those comic books. That big guy sneaking up on that poor little one. Booml boom! You're dead. Wish he'd turn the page. Ah, there-the leader is coming around the corner. Wait till he sees that lady. What's that in big letters? Ginkl Must be his name. Wait a minute-Gink-GINKGO Day. Oh, the belll Good thing I have a study next period. Have to write my contribution for GINKGO Day. Alvira Hart, '40 Page One Hundred Fifty-One O J.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY I live out in Thornburg, Far across the valley, I have a brother Bob,' And a sister Sally.

The air is charged with electricity. A feeling of excitement prevails. The lobby is filled with celebrities. I just saw Virginia Bruce Borgerding come in. She looks ab- solutely dazzling in white ermine. l also see among the crowd Walter Connelly Parfitt. And now com- ing this way is Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, Spencer Tracy McLaughlin. Following close behind him is that glamorous actress, Carol Lombard Springer, looking very fetching, I might add, in lovely fox furs. Now stepping out of his long black Pack- ard is that dashing hero, Tyrone Power Willis. En- tering the lobby is Larry Clinton Servey, the torrid trumpet man, with his associate in swing, Paul Whiteman Brunk. I could go on forever describing this wonderful scene, but time prohibits further description, so I shall sign off, remaining your grateful premier of premieres, and say good-night to you. And I do mean you. Renee Donley, '42 It Hats off! Strike up the band! The 1940 GINKGO is on the stand: And on its pages I searchingly gaze To find a record of my high-school days- Teachers, friends, classes, and fun galore. I, like the raven, croak, Nevermore. Robert Bennett, '40 IN THE GROOVE It's been a year or so, you see, Since any teacher has said to me, Get out your paper right away And practice up for GINKGO Day. So I proceed to rack my brain, To get back in the groove again. My few ideas are so rusty, All the jokes I know are crusty. l've tried composing little rhymes, But men are hung for lesser crimes: So better I should give it up- The groove turns out to be a rut.
