During the fifty years since its incorporation as a borough Crofton has grown into one of the finest modern residential towns in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Today it is a thriving community, reached by railroad and two car lines and trav- ersed by a national highway, with hundreds of comfortable homes, churches of all denominations, an adequate business section, a fine school sys- tem, an efficient local government, and above all, a reputation of being a good, substantial, friendly town. It is therefore fitting, on this fiftieth anniversary of the founding of our town, that we dedicate the l942 edition of the GINKGO to those townspeople of the past and of the present who are responsible for the progress of Crafton.

Freshmen, if you had lived in Crafton in l892, you might have teasingly performed those exas- perating pranks We have visualized you as play- ing. Sophomores, had you spent your days in Crafton in the gay nineties, you, no doubt, would have Worn the quaint costumes We have pictured you in, instead of the flashing, dashing garb of today. , Iuniors, had it been your fate to be alive a half century ago, you would have had gay, rollick- ing fun much different from your present jam sessions. Seniors, had you graduated in l892, no dinner dance would have launched your commencement festivities, instead, the great social event would have been a box social. Your whole outlook on life, although no less ambitious than it is now, would have been sighted on a different frontier, which naturally would have made your desires and behavior different from those of the graduates in 1942. In this issue of the GINKGO We have attempted to do two things. We have tried, by reproducing old pictures and by recalling pranks, modes of dress, and kinds of recreation, to revive a vivid memory of the Crafton of 1892. We have tried land this is the more importantl to recapture, by Word and picture, the memories of school activities and of teachers and chums with whom We have spent the school year of 1941-42.

Acknowledgments Page Nine--THE GINKGO A Brief Histor of Crafton Peters Chartiers, a French half-breed, was the first white man to explore the region about Crafton. In 1734 he established a trading station where McKees Rocks is located today. There he carried on a thriving trade with the Indians up the valley and along the creek, which today bear his name. The first white man who actually settled in Crafton was Iohn Bell. He came here in 1788. In 1777 General Hand, a cornmancler at Fort Pitt, built, below the present Thornburg bridge, on Chartiers Creek, a hospital lor his workers and soldiers. All that remains today of the hospital is a well, although recently a monument in tribute to General Hand has been erected upon the site. General Hand was rewarded for his military services with a large tract of land which included Crafton. This land was willed to his daughter, and upon her death it was acquired by Philip Smith, a Phila- delphia business man. Philip Smith donated the land for the site of St. Philip's Church, which was named in his honor. The Smith heirs sold portions of their land to the Dinsmores, Graces, Bradfords, and Crafts. By 1871 Iames S. Craft had gained possession of most of the land now comprising Crafton. After Mr. Craft's death, his son, Charles C. Craft, recorded, in the Allegheny County Court House, a plan of lots under the name of Crafton. It was not until 1892, however, that Crafton was incorporated as a borough. Before 1892 Crafton had been known by several names. The Indians called it Killimen. In 1857, after a post office had been established, it was called Brodhead, in honor of the famous General Brodhead who built the first road to Crafton from Fort Pitt, by way of Elliott. Steuben Street is a continuation of this old road. ln 1866 the first means of transportation was offered this district by the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad, now the Panhandle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The first street cars were seen in Crafton in 1895. Paved streets became common about 1900. The first school house was located on the present site of Davis' drug store. The next school house stood where the borough building is located today. In 1901 the Second Ward School was built, and in 1913 the present high school building was erected. Today Crafton has three elementary public schools, a parochial school, and a high school. Here are some interesting facts about Crafton: The first church was built here in 1839. This was St. Philip's, and the building still stands behind the site of the present church. Lower Linwood Avenue, from the present Gulf station to Streebach's market, was once a toot bridge. The bridge on Crafton Boulevard was once covered. The Knights of Columbus Hall was originally the Episcopal Church. Electric lights first made their appearance in Crafton in 1895. It is believed that George Washington, in passing through this part of the country, stopped at the old tavern in Thornburg, near the bridge. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Crafton as a bor- ough. Many of the original citizens are still living here, and are justly proud of the beautiful and prosperous town, covering six square miles and having cr population of eight thousand, which has grown from the settlement founded by Iohn Bell in 1788.

IAMES DONOVAN, Coaches WINNERS OF THE CHARTIERS AND OHIO VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD. RUNNER-UP IN CLASS A. W.P.I.A.L. The 1941 Cougar team was light and fast, played smoothly, and dis- played perfect teamwork in a successful season. Six wins, two losses, and two ties may certainly constitute a successful season. The McCready-to- Breen and the McCready-to-Goelz combinations gained many yards. Fre- quently McCready's toe brought the Cougars out of tight spots. The Blue and Gold crushed to defeat West View, Clark, Brentwood, Bellevue, Stowe, and Carnegie, bowed to Bridgeville and Burgettstowng and battled Dormont and Langley to ties. Again Crafton won the Chartiers and Ohio Valley Championship award, and brought home the Carnegie-Crafton trophy. Crafton's greatest fame was gained when the team reached, for the first time in Crafton's football history, the final round in the Class A Championship contest of the W.P.I.A.L. Although the boys gave a good showing and fought hard, they lost to a superior Burgettstown elevenp even so they became runner-up to the Class A title. This team will always be remembered by Crafton football fans. Page Seventy-six-THE GINKGO Football Games CRAFTON 21-WEST VIEW 0 The Cougars started the season off in a big way. West View proved no barrier, for Crafton, displaying perfect teamwork and high spirit, made tallies in the first, second, and last periods. Any doubts concerning the ability of the '41 squad faded after this first battle. . CRAFTON 14-CLARK 0 Crafton's second encounter, the game with Clark, proved as successful as the first. The Blue and Gold came out with a telling score. By recover- ing a kick blocked by Breen, Goelz scored near the opening of the contest. In the last quarter Miller scored for the final touchdown, with McCready kicking both points. CRAFTON 6-LANGLEY 6 The yearly classic, between Crafton and Langley, began with the feeling of the fans running high on both sides, while the typical competitive feeling of high spirit gripped both teams. ln the opening quarter, an enthusiastic Cougar eleven drove for a touchdown when Vater smashed from the one-yard line. The second and third quarters passed without further tally. Then in the last quarter the Langley team, making a des- perate effort, scored. The great contest ended with a 6-6 score, and with good feelings but with much disappointment on both sides. CRAFTON 0-DORMONT 0 An overcast and threatening sky greeted the opening of the Crafton- Dormont game. ln the first half, the Blue and Gold seemed to have the edge. Between halves a pouring rain converted the Dormont gridiron into a slough. Running was almost impossible, and passing was out of the question. The game ended with a scoreless tie. CRAFTON 18-BRIDGEVILLE 21 The highly publicized Bridgeville team held a fight in store for the Cougars. Determination was evident in both teams at the end of the first quarter. Crafton, with six points scored by Vater, Wanted to keep the lead, Bridgeville wanted to catch up. ln the second quarter Bridgeville made seven points. The third period held scores for both teams. A pass from McCready to Breen netted six points for the Cougar team, while 'the visitors made seven for the Bridgeville team. Crafton scored a touchdown, made by Vater with no extra pointg Bridgeville chalked up seven. The final score showed Crafton behind by three points. Page-Seventy-seven--TH E GINKGO Football Games CRAFTON 19-BELLEVUE 0 On October l7 Crafton traveled to Bellevue to play a pretty highly touted team. ln the first quarter Crofton got off to a good start, with Nordy Vater crossing the goal for six points. Throughout the remainder of the first half it was a see-saw battle, the period ending with Crafton holding its original tally. Then at the beginning of the third quarter the Cougars netted another touchdown, on a long pass from McCready to Breen, who crossed the goal standing up. ln the fourth quarter Miller bucked over for the Blue and G-old's third and last score. The final tally, in favor of Crafton, was 19-O. CRAFTON 27-BRENTWOOD 0 The Crafton-Brentwood game was played on the Crafton field. Here the home team, although Brentwood was small and inexperienced, showed its fans that Crafton could really put on the pressure. The Blue and Gold took honors almost immediately, for Vater scored twice in the first quarter. ln the second quarter neither side scored. However, in the third period Crafton buckled down and netted two more touchdowns, both to the credit of Miller. Then in the final quarter the whole second team, substituted by Pop, effectively took over and held Brentwood to the final score of 27-O. CRAFTON 20-STOWE 7 With the hope of obtaining the Class A Championship and avenging last year's '21-7 setback, Stowe players traveled to Crafton with flame in their eyes. But in the first quarter Crafton drove right down the field for a touchdown, with Vater going over. ln the second quarter Stowe came right back when Dallessandre scored. The half ended 7-6, in favor of Stowe. In the third quarter the Crafton men scored once again, Vater tallying his second touchdown of the game. With the hope of victory spurring them on, the Craftonites pushed over another score, this one made by Miller. After that score the downhearted Stowe eleven couldn't do a thing, and when, at last, the final whistle blew, the score showed 20-7, in favor of the Blue and Gold. CRAFTON 19-CARNEGIE 0 Because of the long-standing rivalry between Crafton and Carnegie, their games are always exciting and hard-fought. ln this season's game the Crafton men got off to a fast start in the first quarter when they scored two touchdowns. Each of these was netted by passes from McCready to Goelz, who might not have scored had it not been for the fine blocking by the rest of the team. Throughout the remainder of the game Crafton pounded at the Carnegie line, but not until the last quarter were the Cougars able to score again, Miller finally going over and making the final score read 19-U, in favor of Crafton. BURGETTSTOWN 34-CRAFTON 7 With the Class A Championship at stake, Crafton and Burgettstown traveled to Carnegie, a neutral field, for the play-off. Burgettstown, which displayed a big line and an array of good backs, was favored to win. Crafton also had a good backfield and a tough, but smller, line. After the opening kick-off, the teams clashed and went through the first quarter without scoring. In the second quarter Burgettstown, showing a lot of power, scored two touchdownsg but Crafton, coming right back, tallied on a pass from McCready to Miller. The half ended 14-7, in favor of Burgetts- town. In the third quarter Burgettstown scored again, and in the fourth quarter netted two more tallies. The Craftonites went through the second half without scoring a point. When the final whistle blew, Crafton stood on the red side of the 34-7 score. Page Seventy-eight-THE GINKGO Football Players CAPTAIN WALTER BREEN-End Captain and brilliant end, Wally displayed smart football this year. Seldom was his end run for any gain to the enemy. Wally's four years of experience were evident in his ability to block, tackle, and catch passes under any circumstances. No matter what the score was, Wally never lost hope as he led the team through a tough year. His merits as captain and his ability to play the game take a conspicuous place in the football history of Crafton. DOUG BAIRD-Fullback Possessed with a good deal of drive and shiftiness, Doug showed him- self to be a pretty good fullback. In addition to his fullback post, he often played guard, and proved that he could do equally well in that position. Now a senior, Doug will be missed next year by Crafton fans. RAY COLBERT-Tackle This year's biggest boy put all his strength into fighting and driving for Crafton. Sticking strictly to business, Ray exhibited both skill and determination in his playing. He was one of the chief reasons for the Cougars' success this season. Crafton will lose a good man when Hay leaves school in Iune. THOMAS GALLAGHER--Guard Although this was Tom's first year on the team, he made a good show- ing with his hard playing and steady blocking. As frequently in the opposition's backfield as on his own line, Tom broke up plays and set back runners at every opportunity. No odds could stem his drive or cool his spirit. Tom's absence from the team next year will be sadly felt. WILLIAM GOELZ-End Bill finished his second year as one of the best ends seen by Crafton in a long while. His height and speed made him a natural receiver. During the season Bill's pass-catching gained many yards for the Cougars. His fight and determination were never dauntedg he gave with his all, no matter what the odds. Bil1's graduation will leave a gap hard for the Cougars to fill next fall. Page Seventy-nine-THE GINKGO Football Players HAROLD GOULD-Center With his broad frame, Dopey held down the center position. His centers were steady and dependable. He was often the backbone of the defense, holding the opponent to little gain. His smashing tackles and snappy centers will long be remembered at Crafton. GENE IOYCE-Hcxlfbcrck Although only a sophomore, Gene showed by his good playing that he could compete effectively wth older and bigger players. Whenever he was called upon to block, run, or punt, he always performed his job well. Having proved his ability as an all-round football player, he will probably win a berth on next year's starting eleven. The fans who saw him in action last fall know that Gene will maintain his present record. RICHARD MCCREADY-Hallback This was Dick's second and last year as the first team's halfback, and he was one of the most valuable players Pop had. His swell left-foot kicking pulled Crafton out of many holes, and his exceptional speed in running and his ability in passing were responsible for many Crafton victories. The McCready-to-Goelz pass combination was greatly dreaded by the opposing elevens, and more than once it helped Crafton on to tri- umph. Next year Pop is going to have a hard time trying to replace Dick. CLIFFORD MIKUS-Tackle One of the most consistent linemen on the team, Cliff used his experi- ence to good advantage. With ease he broke through holes and smashed up plays. Cliff took all that was given, and always fought to the last second. His size and ability make Cliff irreplaceable on next year's Blue and Gold squad. WALLY MILLER-Halfback This year, as last, Wally proved his ability as a swell player. His driving might proved a great asset to his line-bucking, while his speed enabled him to skirt many of the opposing ends for long gains. When a few yards remained for a first down or a touchdown, Wally was often called upon to cover them, and he seldom missed. Page Eighty-.-THE GINKGO Football Players ROBERT NEELAN-Tackle Bob was in good shape and promised a good season with Crafton until his injury in the first game. He sustained the battle scars for this year's Cougars, going the limit for his team. Bob has now recovered. He leaves in lune with our good wishes. HARRY ROBINSON-Tackle A reserve this year, Harry played his role with ambition. Displaying ability and spirit, he made good in the games he played. Since he is one of the few men left from the '41 squad, he, experienced as he is, will be a valuable and potent force on next year's team. Crafton rooters will be looking forward to seeing Harry on the gridiron next fall. SAMMY SPADA-Quarterback Although he played one of the toughest positions on the field, Sammy took it in his stride and performed his duties well. Because of his small stature, he surprised many opposing teams and fans by his swell blocking and hard tackling. All Crafton fans are sorry that Sammy leaves Crafton in Iune. IIIVI SUEHR-Quarterback Iimmy earned his letter because he was always in these doing his best for the good of the team. He's a grand blocker and, when needed, a witty signal-caller. Now a junior, Iimmy will be back next year. He and Gene loyce will probably form the nucleus for next year's backfield. ' HERBERT UTZ-Guard Herb was one of Crafton's most dependable and hard-hitting linemen. In a game he did yeoman service. On the offense, he could always be depended upon to open a hole in the opposing line, on the defense, he always made sure that no one came through him. A sophomore this year, Herb is sure to give Blue and Gold backers two more years of faithful and successful fighting. Page Eighty-one-THE GINKGO Football Players FRED VATER-Guard Fred, a versatile gridder, could play equally well at guard or center. Usually at guard, Fred blocked and tackled with a will. Few complaints were ever made about his playing. He was always in there fighting. With deep regret, Crafton will see Fred leave. NORBERT VATER-Fullback Although his position was fullback, Nordy's quick and brainy thinking gave him the job of calling signals. At the fullback post he showed the opposition that he could really hit the line and go places with his drive and power. Because of this drive and power he received honorable men- tion on the all-W.P.l.A.L. teams. lt is needless to say that Cougar tans regret Nordy's leaving in Iune and that the filling of his place presents a problem. IOHN FISHER-Manager Everyone knows that Iohnny really earned his letter. Managers do not have an easy job. They work hard. Iohnny helped to outfit the boys, and took care of their minor ailments. During the games he kept records and, incidentally, was one of the best rooters in attendance. lt is to be hoped that hard-working Iohnny will serve as a model for next year's manager.

WENRICH, Coach Although the Cratton live won few games this year, it cannot be said that they were defeated without trying to win. They were always in there fighting, but somehow the team just did not click. Crafton will lose eight lettermen this year. Pop will have to build next year's team from the promising B squad and the few players who gained experience this season on the A squad but who did not earn letters. lt is hoped that the '43 squad will avenge the '42 squads defeats. Good luck to next years quintette. Page Eighty-four-THE GINKGO Basketball Players IACK BLAIR-Forward After three years of hard work lack made the grade and won his letter on the varsity team. This sharp-shooting forward could always be depended upon to do what was right, and he never hogged the ball for himself. lack is one of the swell players who, through graduation, will be lost to next year's team. CLANCY BIGLER-Forward As usual, Clancy was the mainstay of the team. For his fourth straight year he starred on the varsity. I-le was shifty, a good dribbler, and a fine shot from anywhere on the floor. He could always be counted on to get that needed basket. l-Ie will not be easily replaced next year. WALLY BREEN-Guard This year, as last, Wally was always in the thick of the game, and he proved to the fans that he could really play basketball. On the offense he handled the ball well, for his passes always found their marksg on the de- fense he was found, by the opposition, to be a strong barrier. Much to Crafton's regret, but much to the other teams' relief, Wally has played his last game for the Blue and Gold. BILL GOELZ-Center This year Bill had a place on the varsity, a berth which he had really worked to get. A good shooter, he many times was able to get the ball off the banking-board to prevent a possible score by the other team. Besides playing center, he also played forward, and in both positions did equally well. Next year an 'able and earnest center will be needed to take Bil1's place on the squad. HAROLD GOULD-Center This was Dopey's first year as varsity center, and all agree that he certainly earned his letter. I-le worked hard, playing the games earnestly and well. If one of the Crafton boys missed a shot, Dopey would make up for it by getting the ball off the banking-board and laying it up for a score. When he played on the defense, the opposition found him to be continually wide-awake, alert, and hard to fool. Next year Pop will have no easy job finding a man to take Dopey's place. DICK MCCREADY--Guard When the basketball season opened, Dick returned for his second and last year on the varsity team. This year, as last, he proved himself to be one of the best guards Crafton has ever had. His speed and experience succeeded in harassing opponents and in preventing many points from being scored against the Cougars. The guard who next year replaces him will have to work hard to equal Dick's excellent playing. Page Eight-five-THE GINKGO Basketball Players CLARENCE STEWART Clary, after working on the B squad for a couple years, at last got his chance this year to make the varsity team. And he wasted no time getting to the top. His defensive work was something to look at, for he shot and handled the ball like a real veteran. C1ary's swell playing and his enthusiastic spirit will surely be missed when the team steps on the floor next season. NORBERT VATER--Guard For the third season Nordy proved himself to be one of Pop's most dependable guards. On the defense he couldn't be fooledg on the offense he handled the ball well and had a keen eye for long-set shots. Next year Nordy, graduating in Iune, will be sorely missed by Crafton fans, and will leave, on the team, a vacancy hard to fill. BOB WILSON-Forward . Hans, newcomer to the A squad, made up for his absence in past years by his swell all-round playing. He was especially noted for his knack of taking unique one-handed shots from unusual points on the floor. Yet these shots were not taken in vain, for more than once they brought Crafton boys out from behind and put them ahead. ln Iune all Crafton fans will be sorry to part with Hans V V , los KNIGHT-Manager Ioe proved himself one of the hardest-working and most efficient managers that the Cougars have ever had. He deftly attended the players' minor bruises and performed all his other tasks well. During games his quiet, efficient manner gave confidence to the players. Ioe was greatly liked andradrnired by the fans and by the boys on the team. All agree that Ioe really deserved his letter. He has, indeed, set a standard that next year's manager will have hard work in reaching. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE AND SCORES FOR 1941-42 December 12, 1941 ..........................

At the end of the season, in which competition was usually keen, the Senior Golds, in a close, exciting contest with the Iunior Blues, came out victorious in the 4-2 score.

H. S. GOES TO WAR Dawn found the destroyer U. S. S. Crafton fighting its way alone west- ward through the South Pacific. Yesterday it had been accompanied bv the U. S. S. Camegie, but a slinking enemy submarine had released a lone tor- pedo which caught the Camegie amidships and sank it rapidly. But appar- ently the engagement was not over, for Lookout William Fitch on the Crafton sighted the sub and screamed, Submarine, off the starboard bow. Chief Gunner Robert Hendershot and his crew Went into action at once. dropping their deadly depth bombs. Oil and bits of wreckage from the drowning sub were soon sighted, so the crew ceased firing. Then the sur- viving members of the Camegie's crew were picked up, and later in the day deposited at an American island base. After refueling, the Crafton steamed quietly out of the base early the next morning. The peace was soon broken, however, when a message was carried from Wireless Operator Iames Wolfston to Captain W. Robert Wilson on the bridge. The message, when decoded, read as follows: Intercept enemy cruiser bearing southwest towards Australia. Captain Wilson im- mediately instructed Navigator Reckard of the change in course, and tele- phoned Chief Engineer Cliff Mikus to increase the engines to full speed. At eleven A.M., three hours later, the enemy cruiser was sighted, and the destroyer began to close in. All men were summoned to their posts immedi- ately. ln a few minutes Chief Gunner Hendershot issued the order to com- mence firing at will. The cruiser also began firing, but it had no such gun-- ners as Samuel Simpson and Ioseph Knight. These two mens stellar marks-- manship contributed largely to the defeat of the cruiser. Time after time their shells exploded, making holes at the other ship's waterline. Soon the cruiser began to sink. However, the Crafton did not go uninjured, for one of the cruiser's shells landed near the galley and Chief Iohn Reynolds was severely injured by the explosion. After several gun turrets in the enemy cruiser had been silenced and it had begun to sink, its crew lowered life boats and fled to a neighboring island. . Thus another Allied naval victory was won because of the valiant ef- forts of the courageous Class of '42. ' A T -JAMES s1MPsoN, '42 WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE Like a great bird, the consolidate XPBI rose C1nd.fell on the shining water. f - Page One Hundred and Sixteen-.THE GINKGO ARTS The U-boat commander didn't know that the plane's fuel tanks were empty because they had been riddled with machine-gun bullets from cn brace of l-leinkels earlier in the morning. But he did know that it wasn't natural for an enemy plane to lie helplessly on the water, especially when the ocean was so calm that the U-boat hadn't a chance of remaining unseen from the air. There was a convoy due--a fat convoy of forty freighters, guarded by only one destroyer since the officers were expecting protection from the air. Inside the crippled consolidate a silent crew watched the tell-tale line of wake made by the enemy periscope. Their guns were useless, ammuni- tion for the unmounted ones having been used up in the battle which had caused them to make a forced landing on the sea. Submarine rising to port, sir, said the gunner quietly. The lieutenant looked at the wireless operator, Hurry -those repairs, Young, he said. Aye, aye, sir. Officers and men knew that Young was already work- ing at top speed. As soon as the U-boat's deck was awash, the conning tower opened and an officer appeared. Go out and speak with him, Ensign Cox, ordered the lieutenant. Make terms if you can. But there is no Way of making terms with a U-boat that can blow a disabled craft out of the water with range gunfire. lt was unconditional surrender, or else. And the or else was very obvious. The U-boat edged closer and closer until the glassy calm of the sea enabled an officer to trans- fer from it to the plane. He followed Ensign Cox to the cockpit, where Cox presented him to the lieutenant. Herr Oberlieutenant Von Kiev Blick, the navigation officer, He wishes to take over the U-59 The German saluted stiffly, clicking his heels together. When he spoke, it was in excellent English. Gentlemen, you will surrender your weapons, and give me your word to make no attempt to escape. And if We refuse? asked the commander curiously. The German's expression did not change. Stupid fools! ln that case it will be necessary to destrop this plane by shellfire. The lieutenant lifted his broad shoulders and then let them settle wearily back. Oh, well, l suppose, 'Deuce et decorum est pro patria mori'. I beg pardon, Herr Lieutenant. Confine the conversation to English or German. l do not understand French. I quoted a line from the Latin of the Romans. 'lt is fitting and sweet to die for one's country.' Page One Hundred and Seventeen--THE GINKGO RTS The oberlieutenant raised his pale face. But there is no necessity ot dying if you will follow directions. The lieutenant unbuckled his belt and handed it to Blick. Give the oberlientenant your parole, gentlemen, and surrender your arms. The wireless is in order, sir, said the operator. The German slid into Cox's seat and adjusted the earphones. Ensign Cox touched his commanding officer on the shoulder. Look, sir, the silib has submerged and the periscope is coming closer. T ' She is going to hide in the shadow ot our wings and attack the con- voy, answered the lieutenant grimly. He was gazing with bleak eyes at the dark patch that was the eye of the unseen boat. Blick's tones interrupted them. Quiet, gentlemen, a destroyer ap- proachesf' The young commander caught the gradually increasing hum ot the de- stroyer's blowers mingled with the noise made by the screws of the freighters in convoy. Under the shadow- ot his plane the U-boat lay like a blood-thirsty tiger waiting to find prey. lf it could torpedo, it could pick oft the rest of the convoy at its leisure. The lieutenant knew why the destroyer was lead- ing the convoy. It was looking for the plane, his plane, which should have met them to warn them of the presence ot enemy subs. The 1ieutenant's nails cut deep into his palms. From the radio room of the destroyer came a question. What seaplane is that? Are you in trouble? Then the answer from beside him, No assistance necessary. Repairs almost completed. - - Give the code signal for the day! sharply came the demand from the destroyer. They could see her guns being trained on them, the men crouch- ing at their stations. The German looked at the young lieutenant impatiently. The code, it you please. The lieutenant looked straight at his ensign as he answered, It is the Latin phrase, Herr Oberlieutenantf' and dictated three words. Ensign Cox moved slightly. He said nothing. A shrill scream from the destroyer, and then a shell struck the Water just beyond the plane. The German swung around. He looked at the lieu- tenant's quiet face and levelled his gun. P ' That was not the code, he said. A terrific explosion tore up the sparkling ocean. Bits of wreckage fell through the air, ugly wreckage. A patch of bubbles formed on the surface The patch turned brown, then acquired a dark green oily center which spread gradually. Page One Hundred and Eighteen-THE GINKGO ART On board the destroyer the radio operator spoke to the captain. That was a queer message, sir. lf she was an American craft, why didn't she give the code? But the captain was busy with his glasses. Suddenly he expelled his breath sharply. Do you see that? He pointed to a dark lick of oil that was spreading slowly about the wreckage. That's oil from a sub's tanks. There was a U-boat hiding behind her. But the message, sir? insisted the radio operator. lt was in Latin, Sparks. 'Morituri te salutamus.' It was the salute of the gladiators in the Roman arena. 'We who are about to die salute you.' He raised one hand gravely to his gold-studded visor as the first ship of the convoy steamed safely by. WILLIAM MURPHY, '43 REGULAR FELLOW It was late afternoon and raining a slow, steady drizzle as David Tranter walked home from school, thinking of what he'd overheard several of his fellow students say about him that day at Hamilton High. A wave of re- sentful anger rose within him as he remembered Bill jenkins' scornful voice saying, Dave Tranter? Boy! that guy gives me a pain. He never goes to any football or basketball games or tries out for the teams or even gets in any after-school activities! I don't think he's go a germ of school spirit in him! Iust sits around like a droop all day and then goes home-probably studies till seven thirty and then goes to bed! David recalled the chorus of loud guffaws that followed these remarks, and clenched his fists till his knuckles were white. Maybe they thought he enjoyed going straight home after school every night! Maybe they thought it was all his fault that he had to-oh, well, what was the use of thinking about it. lt couldn't be helped. He walked slowly up the shoddy wooden steps of the shabby, weather-worn Tranter home, and his spirits were-as he'd heard several fellows at school saying-- as low as a centipede with fallen arches. As the days went on, things got worse and worse for David. All the boys of H. H. S. looked upon him as a sis, a greasy-grind, and Cx mama's boy. Sometimes he thought he couldn't stand it any longer, he thought sometimes he would just walk right up to one of those smug, sneering fellows and push his teeth down his throat. But he couldn't. He couldn't do anything but square his shoulders and walk on. Then one day, Bill jenkins, the star football hero and president of the Athletic Ten, an exclusive senior boys' club, said to David, upon meeting him on the street and noticing his pale, drawn face, What's the matter, Tranter? See a ghost? Or was it just a dead caterpillar? Haven't seen you in school the last day or two. Afraid of the'rain? Something seemed to snap Within David, and his fist flew out, contact- Page One Hundred and Nineteen--THE GINKGO RTS ing Bill's jaw with a loud crack. You can razz me other times, he said through clenched teeth, but lay off today! From then on Bill and his gang really made things hot for David. No one knew or cared what had suddenly aroused Dave's ire. Practically everyone was on Bill's side, because it was getting near the time when the members of the Athletic Ten were to choose their successors from the Iunior Class. The president, whose choice was of course most important, had not yet selected anyone to follow him, and every junior boy was walking around with bated breath. Then one day, several Weeks later, Bill came to school and excitedly called his gang together. 'Boy, he said contemptuously, if we haven't been the biggest bunch of deadheads. Do you know why Tranter goes home right after school every night? It's because-well, l'll start from the beginning. My ma was talking to Dr. Wells last night and he just happened tio bring up the subject of a certain Mrs. Tranter who had ct very queer ailment, and my mother asked if it were David's mother. He said it Was, and that Dave Tranter had to go right home after school every day and do the housework and cook dinner for his dad. And he said that a few Weeks ago fthe day before Dave and I had that fight, to be exactl Mrs. Tranter died! A chorus of soft exclamations went up at this point, and there were many shame-covered faces in the group. A Week later David Tranter, reading a letter from Bill jenkins which informed him that he had been selected as the president of the Athletic Ten for the next year, remembered that a droop might cry but not 'an Athletic Ten, and he halted his tears at the edge of his eyes. A BETTY LEE CARTER, '44 WINNER ' ' Many years ago, near the little town of Mayfield, Texas, there ran a herd of wild horses, led by a mighty black stallion with 'a star in the middle of his forehead. Ranchers in that part of the country who had caught .sight of the white mark on the leader's head called him Star. Star's mate, a lovely white mare, was guarded jealously by him. The other horses of the herd, numbering about fifty, were of different colors and sizes. In Mayfield there was a gang of outlaws with jeff Landon, rancher of apparently high standing in the community, atltheir head. Everyone, in- cluding Sheriff Heck Young, knew how Ieff had come to get the ranch he lived on, but no one could prove it. One summer, late in August, there was seen running with Star's mate a little brown and white colt. He stood about to the middle of his mother's back. He would often walk along with Star and seem much pleased with himself. One day when the sheriff and two of his men were out riding the plains, they saw jeff Landon and his gang trying to capture Star, his mate, and the little brown and white colt. The sheriff, realizing that Ieff Landon Page One Hundred and Twerity-THE GINKGO ART would not give up but would try something vicious the next day, decided he would be on hand with two of his best men. That night, after the sheriff had returned home, the president of the bank came to his office to ask him to guard the bank that night and the next morning unti lthe stage left, for he had a large shipment of gold that was to be sent out on the stage the next day. On he following afternoon, the gold by that time being on its Way, the sheriff and two of his best men were at the same place they had been on the day before. They saw several of the Landon gang lying in wait for the wild horses. Suddenly the horses came running over the plain, and the gang, shooting at them, killed six. The rest of the horses, turning about, ran toward the sheriff and his men, who stopped them and rounded them up. On the way to Mayfield the captors saw Star and the white mare lying on the ground dead. The little colt was fighting with a man. I-le would charge the man and then run in circles and charge again, while the man would jump to one side. Finally the colt charged and the man did not get out of the way. The colt then trampled him, The sheriff got off his horse to examine the man and found him to be Ieff Landon. About fifty feet away lay the other three men, dead. Apparently they had been killed by the stallion and the mare before Landon could come to their rescue. The sheriff soon captured the tired colt and took him to town. A short time later the other members of Landon's gang were rounded up, and con- fessed that on the day of Ieff's death they had been trying to stampede the wild horses over the stage coach in order to steal the gold. After the out- laws had been tried and sent to prison, the sheriff had time to tame the colt, which he named Winner. At first Winner was the children's pet, but as he grew older, Winner became famous as the fastest horse in Southwestern Texas. DON DAVIS, '45 HONESTY PAYS Yep, feb, I said, honesty pays. Can you prove it? Sure thing. You see, I learned that when I started playin' the pinball machines. My friends was teaching me the gentle art of tiltin' without tiltin'. Sounds complicated, don't it? What I mean is-they was teachin' me how to sorto jiggle the machine to 'help' the ball without makin' the 'tilted' sign at the head of the board come up. Well, as I was sayin', I was learnin' how to play the machine. I wasn't doin' very good-guess I just didn't have the right 'jiggle'. Well, I gets regusted and just shoots the balls and let them go wherever they please with no help from me. And would you believe it? I got SOO! lust standin' , there takin' it easy! And l'd only been gettin' in the lUO's' and 2OU's before, workin' by head off! So, you see, that proves that honesty pays. What, feb? How come I still jiggle the machines? Well, I learned how now. But remember-honesty mrs!

The Golds were slightly favored over the Blues, and it prom- ised to be a very exciting game. The gym was packed to capacity with an eager, high-spirited crowd. At last the game was about to begin. The teams came out onto the tloor, the Golds confident, and the Blues calm. When the whistle blew, the opposing teams took up their positions. The ball was centered and the action began. Sue, forward for the Blues, tried a shot, but her hair came down, and she had to stop to fix it. Then Grace, guard for the Golds, got the ballg but an opposing player scratched her nose and the game was held up while the scratch was attended to. Nothing interesting happened during the rest of the first half, which ended with a tie score of 1-l. Early in the second half the Golds started a drive and worked the ball under the Blues' basket. How- ever, just as Mary Kate, a Gold forward, was about to shoot, she noticed that her blouse was out. As she paused to tuck it in, a Blue guard grabbed her by the hair and pulled her off balance, and Mary Kate lost the ball. Grace, the Gold digger loops-- guardl took the ball down the floor. Before she tripped and fell, she sank the winning basket. CLIFF MIKUS, '42 SPRING HAS COME W inter's long shadows and bleak clouds have passed: The snow and ice and cold are gone at last.

And now of grief l'm really dying. And .so, Farewell, dear Crafton High. I hate to say it, but, Goodbye EDIE MCKENNA, '42 A PRAYER I used to think that wars were just For other people's lands, I never had experienced one, Or knew what it demands. Three months ago war hit our shores, And killed our native sons. The laps in airplanes came in scores, And dropped the bombs in tons. Each day anew I pray that God Will guide us through this broil, 1 And cleanse the world of hateful greed- The cause of war and toil. BECKY DAVID, '42 THE SIGNS OF SPRING When the first rays of the spring sun Beat down upon the dark moist earth, A tangy odor tells what spring is worth.

But why tell you of this season? List to your heart--it knows the reason. DORIS MARSH, '44 OUR IOB We, the students of America, are living in a time of strife, We wage war against the dictators who would abolish free man's life. It they succeed, we will never have those certain inalienable rights, We will never have the privilege to walk into a day of bright light, We will be subjugated, persecuted, tortured, or murdered. At night into a prison camp, like so many cattle, we will be herded. Day in and day out we will live only to serve a hated master!

I-I. S. I quietly slipped into 107, my home room, and stared at everyone present. Between classes I stumbled around the halls, afraid to look at any- one. I gazed at the seniors from a safe distance, and dreamed about the day when I could speak to one of them. I hurried to my. classes, paid strict attention to the class work, and never whispered more than one broken phrase to my neighbor in any period. As soon as school was over for the day, I rushed home, gathered everything I would need, and sped away to my room and attacked my homework. At dinner time I stopped only long enough to eat, and then I bounced right back to slave again at my books. This year is so different. I do not come to school alone, but with a crowd. We shout as we burst into our home room, which is an inferno of voices. Now I speak to everyone. Even to the seniors. No longer do I fear them. During classes I have a gay, social time, while the teacher, patiently or impa- tiently, goes on with the lesson. When school is over for the day, my friends and I saunter slowly toward Bard's or someones house. Anything can distract us. After dinner we all go to a good show or just get together for a good time. Homework done at home is a thing of the past. It is done in the first period for the second, in the second for the third, etc. Ah, the difference just one year makes!

Full of vim, vigor, and good intentions. Did school seem empty with all the old seniors gone! September 11, 1941 Boy, all those kids looked neat up there cheering! Too bad we couldn't have voted for the new cheerleaders in time tor the first game. But the old cheerleaders will carry on tomorrow. September 12, 1941 Beat West View! 21-U! Good start. The boys looked swell. And did they fight for those three touchdowns! September 18, 1941 14-U! Poor Clark. Now, if we only keep it up! September 26, 1941 Tied by-of all people!--Langley! And we expected to win, too! Well, 6-6 could be 6-U. By the way of a celebration We went to see Glenn Miller at the Stanley. Was Ray Eberle's Brahms' Lullaby swell! October 3, 1941 Everything happens at once! In all that mud and rain dear old Dormont knocked us clean out of W.P.l.A.L. And with a U-U tie! So that's that. October 9, 1941 Guess we borrowed a bad luck streak. Bridgeville nosed us out by a 2l-18 score. Was that an exciting game! First we'd make a touchdown. Then they would. Then we would. Oh, it was swell! October 10, 1941 Respite! No school-teachers' conven- tion. Oh, for bigger and better teachers' conventions! October 14, 1941 Well, the Wieners were cold and the pop was warm. But it certainly wasn't lacking in fun. We G. R.'s should have more Wiener roasts. October 15, 1941 Did I say vim, vigor, and good intentions? Looks like all I really had was the good in- tentions. Can this report honestly be right? Oh, no! l'm sure I worked harder than this! October 17, 1941 Wonderful weather for a wonderful game. We beat Bellevue, 19-0. Only not without many a casualty. October 22, 1941 Something serious for a change. Girl Reserve Recognition Service was really wonderful. Will I ever forget the minute my candle was lighted! And this year l lit some scared little freshman's candle. October 24, 1941 Oh Ioy! Heavenly rapture! 27-O! Does that score look swell! But then I guess Brentwood was kind of light compared to our husky team. October 31, 1941 Halloween! When the witches are out! Seems like they bewitched Stowe-for that mighty team bowed down to a 20-7 score. And are we happy! November ll, 1941 Was it cold! Brrrrr-I can still feel that wind! But l guess it didn't bother our boys. They ended the season absolutely swell by beating Carnegie 19 to U, and winning back the Crafton-Carnegie trophy. Today was Armistice Day and the two bands rose to new heights playing The Star-Spangled Banner together. November 9-15, 1941 Signs and posters all around me ex- claiming, It's American Education Week! Here l am-slaving over my education November 17-23, 1941 Now it's National Book Week. Spied some mighty interesting titles on the bulletin boards in 205. Hope I get a chance to read a couple of good books. November 21, 1941 We got a chance for the Class A W.P.I.A.L title! But that's all it was-a chance. Seems to me they were awfully big for high-school boys! But maybe l'm prejudiced. Torn apart to the tune of 34-7 seems pretty awful, but the fellows really fought every second and deserve one heck of a big hand! So Burgettstown has the title! November 27-28, 1941 Thanksgiving vacation! No homework! No studies! Nothing to do but eat-ummm! fcontinued on page 1483 Page One Hundred and Forty-six-THE GINKGO 74 Za! - DR E? gri d.

YJU must have asked yourself this question many times as you've watched your children at work or play. The answer, to a great extent, will depend upon their character and native ability. But to an equally large extent it will hinge upon their training to cope with life's problems. It is here that you can be most helpful - by making sure that they will receive a complete education, and be given a proper start in their chosen careers. Trust Funds, planned now, can provide regular income for educa- tion and similar expenses. Let us explain how other fathers have used our services to provide security and opportunity for their children. IDELITY RUST COMPANY 34l-343 FOURTH AVE. PITTSBURGH MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION Page One Hundred and Forty-sever:-THE GINKGO December 3. 1941 What a blow! Not back two days when I get handed another report card! Well, this time l'm better in one subject. Now for the others. Slow but sure-anyway slow. December 4, 1941 - 1 Gee, I wish I could have been at the Foot- ball Banquet! They say the fellows beamed' when they received the trophy from Car- negie. Not to mention those snazzy jackets for the first team. December 5. 1941 Well, I must admit, they are pretty ver- satile, these good old football heroes of C.H.S. Can they dance! lust wonderfully. My feet are killing me! What if they did forget they weren't at football practice? December 7. 1941 The laps bombed Pearl Harbor! December 8. 1941 President Roosevelt declared war-. December 12. 1941 A new season-a new sport-and start- ing ofi just dandy-lost our first basketball game to Canonsburg. V 1 - V December 19. 1941 Another trophy! The football fellows ought to feel proud. The Chartiers-Ohio Valley trophy was given to the team to-- night. Another dinner. Well, anyway they won't starve. A December 23. Ianuary 5. 1942 ' Christmas Vacation! Oh, if it had only snowed! But I guess it couldn't have been much more perfect at-that. A ' Ianuary 9. 1942 Crafton fifty years old! lmagine! There was a big celebration, with speeches and pictures and more speeches. Ianuary 23. 1942 That makes two basketball games we've won so far. Langley and Carnegie. . Ianuary 27. 28. 29. 1942 EXAMS! Need I say more? My head is still spinning. February 4. 1942 The drastic results! Oh, well, lf at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's what they say. But how can 1 explain that to Mother? February 5. 6. 1942 A Waltz Dream that really was super! I think the Metropolitan couldn't put on a better show. February 13. 1942 Won another basketball game! Beat Brentwood, 39-28! February 20. 1942 The Victory Ball. Well, I had a mar- velous time! My date was slick -the orchestra was smooth -and the gym looked like the Wm. Penn! Or was l see- ing thorugh rose-colored glasses? March 3. 1942 Boy! What a snow fall! Almost no one came to school. lt was wonderful! March 18. 1942 You'd think they'd get kind of tired, handing us those same old things every six weeks. This time it could have been much worseg so l better not kick. For once l could walk boldly in and say with a smile, Here are my reports, Mom. March 19. 1942 Guidance Program. All sorts of im- portant people were there, readly to help us 'ltake the right road. March 26. 27. 1942 Boy! Do those new uniforms look snappy! And l guess our band isn't half bad. The boys really played tonight. April 2-8. 1942 Easter Sunday. Everyone in her best bib and tucker. Old Man Weather sure was kind and handed us a warm sunny day for an Easter present. Candy from our best beau. April 9-10. 1942 Talk about your Samsons! We've got a few right here in C.H.S. Those fellows Could really lift weights! So the gym ex- hibition went off pretty O.K.! April 16. 1942 Special Request given in assembly by Miss l:'ord's Public Speaking ll. Laugh! l never knew of the word till l saw that play!

Something free-The Iunior Prom! But it was really swell- and worth 51.40 if we had had to pay it. But seeing as how we didn't-it was twice as wonderful. April 18. 1942 Oh, where did I get the idea I was even an average student! That Civic Club test sure took the wind out of my sails! April 23, 1942 First baseball game! Mt. Lebanon. We won, 8-O! Couldn't go to see it because We had a duzzer of a First Aid Test. Oh, me-- and l wanted to be a nurse! April 23-24. 1942 Second Ward and surrounding Wards put on Tom Sawyer in operetta form. They did a swell piece of work, and it was very interesting. April 29. 1942 At long last! No D's! Only one C and four B's! How did l do it! So we do have a neat chorus! Knights Templars think so. Lots ot eats and much lun as reward for a strenuous 45 minutes of singing. April 30. 1942 A marvel of light! Mr. C. E. Iones re- peated his last year's wonderful perform- ance with an even more wonderful assem- bly program in the Land Beyond the Rainbow. Some colors and light in this world of ours. Shortened the periods to 38 minutes! But that didn't matter. He was really swell! May 1. 1942 The first night social in years! The Topper Skip. Something new and differ- ent! Talk about real super dances. This was it! May 8. 1942 What a lovely poised group! Mothers and daughters smiling and talking gently. Quite a success was our Leaders' Corps Tea! Band concert was swell tonight. Chorus sang I Hear America Singing. May 20. 1942 Girls' Track Meet. And was it fun! I never got so tired running around in circles and jumping fences in all my life. May 21 and 22. 1942 Can't say they didn't try hard. Everyone laughed at the right time and sometimes When they shouldn't have. So the Senior Class Play is over. lt was swell. May 28. 1942 The Dinner Dance. A momentous occa- sion and one to be remembered by all. Hours of fun! But a few minutes of thought- fulness as it suddenly came to us--we wouldn't be a part of high school in a few weeks. We'd be strictly on our own. Ot course we laughed and joked and even took to throwing silverware, but underneath each smiling face was a serious heart that kept saying, What now? Iune 5. 1942 What a swell Class Day we had! Better than any yet! But l guess I'd think it was better because it was my class day this time. Iune 10. 1942 Time to relax! Time for crazy rides on crazy roller-coasters! Time to go back to our second childhood and ride the merry- go-round! Time to let the sun burn us to a crisp! Time to hold hands in the Tunnel of Love. Time to have more fun than any picnic ever was! Iune ll. 1942 At last! Commencement! Now we are really out of high school forever and ever. We could have worked harder, but we couldn't have had more fun! And we'll certainly never forget this night! Iune 12. 1942 Last assembly till next September for those other kids but just- Last assembly for us.

Around to the spring to get some water, And right back home to feed his father. At half past seven he flew down the tracks, Down to the Lead Works to make some more tacks. ' I-le worked all morning 'til noon arrived, And then into his lunch bucket dived. At five o'clock he started to roam, And thanked our God that he had a home. At half past ten he hit the hay, And called it all a perfect day! ART WINTER, '43 GINKGO DAY I can't write a good short story, And I can't write a decent poemg So the best thing for me to do, Is be sick and stay at home. I could say I have a headache Or perhaps a swollen glandg But if someone checked on me, He would find me at the Grand. Do you know what worries me? What keeps me from having fun? Well, today is GINKGO Day, And my gink is still undone.

I spilled half a bucket of water on my pants every time I took the bucket in. Clark-A whitewash. Carried the drinking water today. Got wet again. Langley-What a game! They got our goal posts. They paid for them though. Dormont--Seems like I can't keep from getting wet at football games. Was swamped by rain. Tough game, too. Boy, did we ruin that bus! Bridgeville-Got licked today, but I'm happy. I didn't get wet. Fisher let me carry the lemon. Bellevue-Carried medicine kit and towel. Bob Noble kept score because he knows a girl in Bellevue. Brentwood-Saw the great Bob Thurbon today. He didn't have such a hot team though. Stowe-Had to help line the field thard workl. Got to wear a pair of football shoes. Boy, was Fuzzy Andrews surprised! Carnegie-So cold today that I just sat on the bench and watched the game. Was I glad to see that hot chop suey dinner? Bur-gettstown-My picture was on the front page fwith the rest of the boysl. What a team Bur- gettstown has! A one-handed center and L1 fullback that chews. I didn't spill a drop today. CHARLES WENRICK, '45 UE... lf I were a quiz kid, I'd surely be smartg I'd know all the answers in music and art, I'd answer all riddles, solve problems in science, And learn every member of every alliance. I'd know Moses' sisters, his brothers, and cousinsg And as for state capitals, three or four dozens. No history would stump me fnot even the datesl, And l'd know exactly how each Leaguer rates. I'd spell any wordg know a clause from a phrase, And know current events for days after days. I'd study the atlasg and then, perhapsg I'd tell them all how to wipe out the Iaps. I'd know every theory that ever was rnadeg And what made the Indians, Manhattan trade. I even might know just what made bubble bath , But I swear to high heaven, I'd never know math.

They scratch their heads and work and slave To keep the GINKGO from the grave.

The joys l shared, the friends l made Will never from my memory fade. To this dear school l will be true- This school whose days were all too few. MABEL MCCALMON, '42 A FORMULA FOR WRITING ON GINKGO DAY Invite all your friends and your uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Have plenty of paper, ink, and erasers. Get a few ideas, and then throw them out. Get a few back copies of the GINKGO. Pick something that isn't too professional. Write in ink on white paper. Sign your name. Pray it isn't found in the other GINKGOES. Hope it isn't picked for this year's book. Be happy that you didn't get an MARGARET DUGAN, '42 C. H. S. GENERAL STORE U. S.
