Brhiratinn For several years Miss Grace L. Borgerding has taught commercial subjects at Craiton High School, which, incidentally, is her alma mater, Through the course of these years her pleasing smile and vivid personality have made her a favorite among the teachers and students. Miss Borgerding's standard of teaching has enabled her to turn out many commercial students of the highest calibre. Recently she enlisted in the United States Navy as a WAVE, being the first member of the regular high-school faculty to leave for service in the Armed Forces. In each of our hearts there is a Warm spot for Miss Borgerding, who is one of our dearest friends and one of our most respected teachers. ln recognition of all that she has done to establish high standards in our school, in ap- preciation of the keen personal interest she has taken in every one of her students, and in honor of the patriotism she has shown by enlisting in the Navy, We dedicate this volume of the GINKGO to Ensign Grace L. Borgerding. Page Four--THE GINKGO 'SbL'bg'i x ENSIGN GRACE L. BORGERDING Pagf' Fiwvf7'lIE GINKGO ' N THOMAS IOHNSON J W wg! M S G KGO Blnremnrh These are the days of a War-a war from which we cannot isolate ourselves. Therefore it is not only litting but inevitable that war should creep into the pages of our yearbook. With this thought in mind We have planned the book to meet two objectives: first, to record the events and cherished memories of the school year, second, to develop a theme which is timely. The reader can aid us in our task, if, While leafing through the GINKGO, he will try to visualize a large battleship four schooll, manned by sailors of various ranks ttlie studentsl, plying her way through a rolling sea Kknowledgel. Perhaps, if his imagination will permit, he will feel the salty spray, inhale deeply the clear ocean air, and ever feel the rhythmic heave of our ship's sea- worthy hulk under his feet. Page Seven--THE GINKGO That Door I've been in Crafton High three years, And I could stand it some more, I'd even like the dear old school If they'd get rid of that door. The one I mean is by 1035 It's the one I dread and abhor. I pull and tug, but it won't budge- That doggon'd, stubborn door. Many's the morning I am late Because it Won't let me in, Many's the moming I stand and cuss, Creating an awful din. I plead and beg with tears on my face, And even get down on my knees, But it only reflects its shining knob, Leaving me out there to freeze. A Now someone else takes hold of its knob, And presses it in the center, It eagerly throws itself aside, Allowing him to enter. When I get out in the world and work And make money hand over fist, I'll send some workmen to the school, To give a few screws a twist. When the old door's gone and a new one's up And cheers go up by the score, I'll enter school with my head in the air, 'Cause I helped them get rid of that door. -Mary Honey, '44 Page Nine-THE GINKGO fm' - 4 4-49:4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Bureau of Navigation-Board of Education ...,........,.....................,. .ldmiral of the Crafton Fleet-Superintendent of Crafton Schools ........... ......

MR. MARLIN WENRICH and MR. IOHN REED, Coaches Although the Cougars were victors in few games last fall, it cannot be said that they had an unsuccessful season. While scores mean much, undaunted enthusiasm and invincible courage in the face of defeat mean much more. The team's chief obstacle in running up the score was due to the fact that its large number of green, inexperienced men were forced to combat heavier and more seasoned players. With the odds against them, the Cougars stood up to every foe and struck with all their might. ludged by the spirit and fight the Crafton men displayed, their record is infinitely better than it looks on paper. From nine hard fought battles, the Blue and Gold gridders three times emerged as victors, five times as losers, and one as a tier. For the second successive seaon Crafton, defeating the Carnegie eleven, was awarded the Carnegie-Crafton cup. Victory over Carnegie next year will place the cup permanently among the Blue and Gold's trophies. Page Seventy-eight-THE GINKGO Football Games CRAFTON 0-MCKEES ROCKS 27 The Cougars opened the 1942 grid season with a twilight game at home. The McKees Rocks eleven were the visitors who turned out to be too powerful for Crafton's comparatively light team. However, the Crafton men held the Rocks to a scoreless first quarter, only slackening their pace toward the end of the second period. After the half time the McKees Rocks team was really on the beam, running the score up to 27 points and muffling all the attempts of our boys to score. Hats off to the Blue and Gold for a hard-fought, well-lost game. CRAFTON 2-CLARK 0 On a hot autumn afternoon the Crafton gridders journeyed to the Car- negie field to play the highly touted Clark team. Through the first three quar- ters the ball seesawed back and forth, never crossing the goal. Although threatening twice, the Cougars were unable to score until the last period. The break came when the Clark players were in the hole, back on their own two-yard line. The forced punt was blocked by Ray Wakefield and recovered behind the goal by a gold-clad warrior, thus giving Crafton two hard-earned points. Those two points proved to be the margin of victory. CRAF TON 0-LANGLEY 12 This year the Crafton-Langley game, which is always played for blood, resulted in a two-touchdown victory for Langley. The first score was made from the three-yard line, in the first quarter, while the remaining six points resulted from a pass interception in the second quarter. Through- out the second half the Cougars held Langley to a twelve-point lead. CRAP TON 7-DORMONT 28 On October second a highly touted Dormont eleven came to Crafton to wipe out the 0-U score of last year. ln three quarters the visitors scored, twice in the first quarter by a reverse and a quarterback sneak. Crafton's only score came in the last quarter, when O'Connell, after a sustained drive of 69 yards, went over from the one-yard line. CRAFTON 0-BRIDGEVII.LE 7 The Cougars went to Bridgeville to play a highly publicised Bridge- ville eleven. During the first three quarters the ball seesawed back and forth. ln the last quarter Bridgeville's left half, after an end run from the twenty-yard line, managed to score. The conversion was good, and when final whistle blew, the Cougars trailed by seven points. Page Seventy-nine-THE GINKGO Football Games CRAFTON 6-BELLEVUE 0 The first half of the Crafton-Bellevue game was completed without a score. During the first two quarters the ball surged back and forth, with the Cougars making four first downs to Bellevue's one. Finally, in the third quarter, a long Crafton pass from Ioyce to Wakefield gained six points. Although the conversion failed, the six points were enough to win the game for the Blue and Gold. CRAFTON U-BRENTWOOD 0 Almost every season there is a tie game, and this season the Brentwood tilt proved to be that game. Although the Cougars made twelve first downs to Brentwood's nine and threatened the Brentwood goal line twice, they were unable to chalk up a score. CRAFTON 0-STOWE 14 Every season there is one wet game, this year it was the Stowe game, which was played in a sea of mud. Crafton threatened the Stowe goal very early in the first quarter. The Cougars were so close to the line that only the referees decision kept them from scoring. Stowe, however, managing to score twice, once in the second and once in the last quarter, won by two touchdowns. CRAFTON 6--CARNEGIE 0 The Crafton-Carnegie game is usually considered the most important game of the season, and the game this year was no exception. The game was virtually a battle for control of the air. More passes were thrown in this game than in any other game this season. The Cougars attempted fifteen passes, completed six, and had two intercepted, while Carnegie threw seventeen passes, completed four, and had five intercepted. Crafton's score came when a pass, thrown by Chuck Grube from the 35-yard line, was snagged on the two-yard line by Gene foyce, who carried the ball the remaining six feet. Although the conversion failed, six points were sufficient to carry home a victory for the Blue and Gold. Page Eighty-THE GINKGO Football Players VETO DENARDIS-Guard Although small, Veto was the scrappy lineman who gave the enemy trouble every time the ball was centered. Not seldom was he responsible for bringing ball carriers to the dirt before they could even get out ol their own backfield. His spirit was contagious, often spreading as far as the grandstands. All admired Veto for his ability to come back fighting. Often he inspired his teammates to keep their chins up. Truly, Crafton needs more players like him. Although he leaves the Blue and Gold, Vets will be remembered by the fans as the little man who never said udiexr PAUL FISHER-Hallback Although only a freshman, Paul, last fall, established himself as a star. His entry always brought forth great cheers, and for no poor reason. It was heart-warming to watch him suddenly spark out into the open and bite off a good gain, or to see him weave his way down the field like a jack rabbit. It was a heavy challenge to the opposition to try to catch Paul, and then, if they caught him, to try to tackle him. Since Paul will be back next year, it can safely be said that a bright future on the gridiron is in store for C.H.S. CHARLES GRUBE-Haliback Charlie was a level-headed, quick-thinking, all-'round football player. His will to Win kept him playing hard throughout each game. The tougher the going, the tougher the effort he put forth. I-le was billed as a triple-threat man, being equally good at passing, running, and kicking. Each of his threats was a big one. He could pass expertly, outrun some of the fastest, and get off some extra long spiral boots which set the enemy back on his heels. Every red-blooded Crafton fan feels proud of Charlie, and finds great joy in the knowledge that Chuck will be back with the Cougars next season. RICHARD HAAG-Tackle A hard-hitting lineman, Dick made the going tough for the opposition with his well-placed blocks and decisive tackles. A line plunge cannot be successful without help from the linemen, and Dick was one of the men who made many plays a click by opening a hole for the ball carrier. He could take it as well as dish it out, and his invincible spirit pre- vailed throughout each game. Never did he slacken his fast pace, nor did he complain when the cards were stacked against him. Returning next year, Dick will help boost the '43 team to success and glory. NEILL HAMILTON-Quarterback Although Neill was not always in at the start, he usually did his bit sometime during the game. When he was in the game he made a good impression on his teammates and on the opposition. He always had plenty of pep and seldom fell down on the job. Neill's high spirits and willingness to work for the good of the team will be missed on the gridiron next fall. Page Eighty-one-THE GINKGO Football Players Gsoncs HOTCHKISS-Halfback George, a well-built, quick-thinking backfield man, could usually be found where the action was thickest. When he got the ball and started around end, it took a big man land we mean bigl to stop him. He was a splendid man to have on defense, being good at anticipating enemy moves, in downing, with a decisive tackle, a man in his tracks, and in breaking up clever plays about to click. EUGENE I OYCE-Haliback One of Crafton's triple-threat men, Gene played an outstanding part in every game. The Ioyce-to-Wakefield passing combination was an im- portant feature of Cougar offense, often gaining precious yardage for the Blue and Gold. Frequently Gene was called upon to boot the ball out of danger. At this task he proved to be very proficient, often setting the enemy back in the hole. When Gene was toting the ball, several men were necessary to stop his advance, and they found the going tough. Next year his fighting spirit will again be a potent force on the Crafton team. . GEORGE MCCARTNEY-Guard Looking for a guy with spunk? George McCartney's your man. During the last season he proved that he could take it. Moreover that's not all--he proved he could give it just as well, in the form of blocking and tackling. This statement is borne out by the fact that for his teamwork he was given honorable mention on the Chartiers-Ohio Valley League. Congratulations to George. May he do as well next year and earn as much appreciation as he did this year. ROBERT NELSON-Guard One of our hard-hitting, fast-thinking linemen, Bob is now serving in the United States Navy. All through the season he fought for the glory of Crafton and did a good job of it. Now he is fighting in bigger battles for the glory of a much more important team and he is going the limit. Everyone will remember Bob for his hard tackles and frequent visits to the enemy backfield, where he did considerable damage. Bob had a keen sense of humor which helped him keep his spirits up when the going was toughest. Iudging from Bob's record on the varsity, we can say, Lookout, you Axis ships, for Nelson's in the U. S. Fleet. WILLIAM O'CONNELL-Fullback Bill, the powerhouse of the team, really did an expert job at smashing the line for those half-yards needed for a first down. Yes, he made the first downs and then some. What line wouldn't give way to the charge of Bill's solid body, driven on by two sturdy legs? Running wasn't the only specialty in his bag of tricks, for he made some very substantial gains on passes. Bill had the honor of being the first man to score a touchdown in the '42 season, that being on a hard line plunge in the Brentwood game. Crafton fans regret that Bill will not be able to help push the Cougars on to victory next year. RALPH PLOWMAN--End Waldo, a sophomore, played the rough and tumble kind of football, a sure sign of courage. He seldom failed to nail a runner who tried to sprint around his end position. He also proved to be a good blocker, often paving the way for a substantial gain in territory. His ability to decipher plays and follow them through resulted in his being somewhere in most of the entangled masses of players which piled up at the end of each play. Having Waldo on the forward wall this past season proved beneficial to the team. His presence next year will be even more so because of the experience that he gained during the 1942 season. Page Eighty-two-THE GINKGO Football Players HARRY ROBINSON-Tackle Harry was one of last year's few lettermen to return to the squad this season. His experience and size were needed to hold down the tackle position. Having him in the forward wall, Pop had nothing to worry about, for Harry was one fellow who couldn't be shoved around easily. Never has a better sportsman played on the Crafton varsity. As a tackle, he ranked with the best. Unfortunately, he received a knee injury in the Langley game, early in the season, but he stuck it out to the last, giving his best to the team-his best being tops The person who will take Harry's place next year will have to fill a sizable gap. RICHARD SEAVER-Guard Dick was one of the most dependable linemen on the Crafton team. On the field he constantly broke through enemy holes and broke up enemy plays. He allowed the opposition to make few gains, always fighting to the last minute. With regret, Cougar fans will see Dick leave Crafton High in Iune. IAMES SLEMMONS-Tackle A great big solid hunk of man, lim was a good player to have on the team. His huge body was ideal for stopping up leaks in the line on defense and opening them up on offense. No one on the squad had more fight and spirit than Iimmy, who fought from the bench, as well as at the tackle position, with all his might. His specialty was at place- kicking, an art not easily acquired, but one which is very useful. Usually Jim kicked off for the Cougars, often putting the opponent way back with a surprisingly long one. His fight and spunk will be greatly missed next year. JAMES SUEHR-Quarterback The brains of the team this year, Iim employed tricky signal calling which presented a problem to the enemy. He played hard, never dog- ging it, until the final gun. Iim's keen logic, an asset to any football player, enabled him to decipher the plays of opponents and to break them up before they could click. Fu2zy's Boogie tackles were hard and decisive-ask even the biggest of Crafton's rival teams. When training begins next fall lim will certainly be missed. HERBERT UTZ-Tackle Herbert, a hard-hitting, well-built, clean-cut football player, is one good reason why Crafton rooters were proud of their team this year. A good sport, he never gave up, despite all the odds which were stacked against him. Seldom did a play succeed in getting through his position. Herb played a big part of each game in the enemy's backfield, causing no end of trouble for the opponent's ball carriers. Crafton fans will be glad to know that another, and no doubt his best, year of high-school football lies ahead of Herb. Page Eighty-three-TH E GI N K GO FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1943 Football Players RAY WAKEFIELD-End Although a senior, Bay played his first year at football this season. He proved to be one of the outstanding players on the squad, as well as one of the best ends to play for Crafton for a number of years. Ray was the man on the receiving end of those long passes from loyce or Grube. Many substantial gains were made on this offensive setup, and Ray will be remembered for scooting out like a jack rabbit, cutting quick and leaping high to snag one for a first down. He played such good ball that he was given honorable mention by the Chartiers-Ohio Valley League. Nice going, Ray. PAUL WARNER-End Tall and fast, that's Paul-a good man for his end position. He made some swell pass receptions at times when a good gain was needed by our eleven. He was also good for running interference around his side of the line, thus aiding in some of those dazzling runs made by our backfield men. lf you ever have occasion to select a man for a football team, don't forget Paul, for in our estimation he's A-1 material, ARTHUR WINTER-Center Art's position was one of many responsibilities, and he thoroughly took care of every one. He had to make sure that his passes from center were right on the beam , he had to prevent any opposing linemen from breaking through, sometimes he had to open a hole, and often on defense he had to break through the line himself and nail the enemy ball-carriers. Art is husky and a hard man to tangle with at any time, but on the field he handled himself best when the going was toughest. He is another Crafton man honored by the Chartiers-Ohio Valley League. Followers of the Blue and Gold hope that someone as capable and hard fighting as Art will take his place next year. ROBERT NOBLE-Manager Bob was the hard-working red-headed assistant to the assistant to the assistant coach . . . or something. ln all seriousness, Bob did an A-1 job in taking care of the needs of the team, keeping records, and watching over the equipment. Bob attended to the minor ailments of the fellows, a job requiring a great deal of patience if not too much skill. During the games he could be found along the side lines, where he followed the team up and down the field, recording plays, gains, and other necessary in- formation. He will be a hard worker, indeed, who next year equals the mark made by Bob last fall. September 17, 1943 September 24, 1943 October 1, 1943 ..... October 8, 1943 ..... October 15, 1943 ....

Mr. Marlin B, Wenrich, Coach It was last year's hope that this seasons quintet would avenge the defeats of last year. By winning eighteen out of twenty-one games, the Crafton team realized this hope. The Cougars' powerful offensive was too much for their opponents. Coraopolis, Langley, Dormont, Stowe, and Car- negie all Went down under Crafton's slashing attack. Only three black marks mar the record, two by Brentwood and one by Mcliees Rocks. Moreover, the record is a little better than the scorebook shows, for Mt, Lebanon had to forfeit two games on account of ineligibility. Followers of the Blue and Gold are looking forward to next season, when, they are sure, the Crafton quintet will improve on this year's record. Page Eighty-five--TIIE GINKGO Basketball Players EDWARD BIGLER-Guard A sophomore letterman, Eddie is doing his share to keep alive the Bigler family's tradition. His consistent play and expert ball-handling mark him for future glory on the hardwoods, Eddie displayed a knack for whipping them in from mid-court, which thrilled the fans not too seldom this season. He also showed a play-making ability which is a must for good guards. We'll be looking for that broad frame next season when the Golds start a new season. See you then, Eddie. CHARLES BOOTH-Guard Lefty's chief role was that of substitute, and he was a good one. Entering the game in the middle of fast action, he could adjust himself immediately and settle down to work. His long shots from the middle of the floor were breath-taking, and he seldom missed with them. Lefty had the will to win, which is an important factor in piling scores. His presence in the game spirited the rest of the squad and gave confidence to the team and to the rooters. lt will be difficult to find someone to take l.efty's place next year. CHARLES GRUBE-Guard Pop has always been able to rely on Charlie to make the best of every situation. He has a cool head and a good eye, he's alert, and he can handle the ball expertly. He played a fast game at defense this season, breaking up our opponents' plays which might have made con- siderable difference in the outcome of many important games. Set shots are his masterpieces, and he turned out his share of beauties. We feel sure that Charlie will play the same swell brand of basketball next year. EUGENE HANNUM-Center Gene's cool, easy-going, smooth-playing ability helped make him the key man in almost every game this season. His incredible skill in flipping them in from any angle and his ability to out-think his opponent enabled Max to ring up some mighty fine personal scores. He often set up plays which baffled the opposition, and, as pivot man, he proved to be a most versatile player. Next year Crafton fans will be pleased to find Max in there plugging away for the glory of alma mater. GEORGE HOTCHKISS-Forward Although he is a senior, this year George appeared for the first time on the varsity. He played exceptionally well under the basket, making most of his points from that position. He was also good on down-the-floor playing, being fast and capable of handling himself. George is alert and made many plays 'lclick because of his ability to judge the next move of his opponent. Not one Crafton fan will forget the Coraopolis game, which George, with a quick shot from under the basket, won in the closing moments of the overtime period. His career was short but glorious. Too bad George will not be on the squad next year. EUGENE IOYCE-Forward When the going got tough, Gene was always there playing harder and better than ever. Being outstanding on offensive, as well as on defensive basketball, he played no small part in determining the outcome of many of Crafton's hardest won games. Gene has an eye for basket- ball, as he demonstrated on his set shots and at the foul line. At times he became angry during games, and for good reasons, but these momentary flares of lrish temper only improved his game. Here's hoping that Gene gets angry more often next year, and that he plays the same high standard of basketball that he has exhibited this season. Page Eighty-six-THE GINKGO Basketball Players RAY WAKEFIELD-Guard Ray, one of the most consistent members of the 1943 squad, played his guard position especially well. His smooth ball handling, his ability to cut fast, and his quick thinking made him a good player in Pop's language. As guard, he set up plays with expert skill and although not making many points himself, he was directly responsible for winning games by playing the ball wisely. It was a pleasure to watch Ray dribble and pass, so outstanding was his skill. Cratton is losing a valuable player through Bay's graduation in lune. PAUL WARNER-Forward Paul, a tall, able player, is an example of the type of material which Pop can turn out il given time. He is an all-round basketball handler, good on defense, better on setting up plays, and best in leaping high in the air to drop one in for two points. His greatest ambition was to attain top scoring honors in a game, an ambition never quite fully realized but never missed by a big margin. Paul is to be admired for his persistent determination to win that game. Too bad his high spirits will not be on hand to aid Crafton next season. CHARLES WENRICH-Forward Chots had two drawbacks to overcome when he started this season. First of all he is short, and secondly he is the coach's son. However, in view ol working good at early to addition these odds which were stacked against him, he doggedly kept until he had become A-1 basketball material. Chots is very set shots, and he handles the ball equally well. He has started earn his letters, being only a sophomore. He was a welcome to the team this season and promises to be even more valuable next year, at which time he hopes to have grown. GEORGE MCCARTNEY-Manager A team isn't a team without the manager, and our team was no ex- ception. Georges presence before, during, and after each game was an important phase in the systematic operations of the team. He performed his duties willingly and thoroughly throughout the season, being a friend and helper of every member of the squad. Next year's manager will have to step lively to meet the standards set by George.

Bottom Rowe-Carl Atwater, Charles Griffiths, Ralph Christy, Mr. Wenrich, Paul Fisher, lerry Harmon, Richard McClelland. Mr. Marlin B. Wenrich, Coach When Pop Wenrich called tor the tirst baseball practice about thirty- live men responded. Among these were three players from last year's section- title-winning team-Schepner, Gibson, and Grube. With these three seasoned veterans as a nucleus, Coach Wenrich began to organize a team that has already proved, early in the season as it is, that it has what it takes. Through- out the season Ed Schepner will probably do most ot the pitching and Paul Fisher most ol the catching. No doubt Chots Wenrich, Chuck Grittiths, and Dick McClelland will occupy the bases, and Ralph Christie will hold down the shortsstop position. Bill Gibson, Chuck Grube, and Bill O'Connell are likely to comprise the outlield. With such a team as this of '43, Cratton has a right to expect a repeti- tion ot last year's baseball success. lt will be remembered that the '42 nine won the section title by beating South Fayette twice and Mt. Lebanon twice. ln the play-oils the Cougar nine vanquished, without much trouble, the Moon Bun nine. ln the second play-oft Craiton lost to Hurst. All in all, the '42 season was good, and the '43 season promises to be equally good. Pagv Eiglzty-z'i,ql1t4-TIIE GINKGO Baseball Edward Schepner Paul Fisher .......

ART Every ship has some type of library. This library may be a well organized one or it may be merely a collection of personal books, worn and frayed, passed from one sailor to another. In this library of the U.S.S. Crafton High there are famous short stories and some classics. There are collections of well-known, ott-re- peated speeches, and clippings from old newspapers. There are scrapbooks containing bits of almost every- thing, and notebooks of rhyme, written as a result of sailors' correspondence-school courscs in poetry. In private libraries of this ship may be found the sailors indispensable little black books, and few brilliantly-colored, bold-typed, casily-hidden confes- sion magazines. Short Stories MIDNIGHT VISIT Outside a chill November wind shrieked fiercely over the frozen, rutted fields, and the window panes clattered ominously in their frames. I shivered involuntarily at the thought of having to go out into the black, terrifying night and walk alone up the de- serted road to the Pierce house, with its scabby, peeling paint, its black staring win- dows, and its tangled, weed-grown yard. From my window, I could see the house loom- ing forbodingly in the darkness, and I couldn't remember when it had ever looked quite so menacing as it did now. Nevertheless, I left the warm room and started up the road, de- termined to gain entrance and to talk to old man Pierce, or to die in the attempt. I kept my eyes fixed on the single lighted window, its blurred yellowish square contrasting sharp- ly with the gloom around it, and prayed that it would go out before I got there, for then I wouldn't have to go in. But no such luck! When I reached the old sagging porch, the light was still shining, so I swallowed my fears and knocked bravely on the cracked, rusty-hinged door. After what seemed hours, it creaked cautiously open and a wrinkled, bony face appeared in the crack. Mr. Pierce, I croaked hoarsely, feeling sure that he could hear the thumping of my heart. Mr. Pierce beckoned me in with a crooked, knobby finger. Come in, he cackled, and his voice was as rusty as the hinges on the door. Come in. I started to refuse but seeing the compelling look in his glittering black eyes, decided to obey and stepped into the long, musty hall. In one hand Mr. Pierce held a stubby, sputter- ing candle which cast grotesque, flickering shadows on the mottled, cob-Webby walls, and with the other he motioned me to follow him. I could feel the rotten floor boards sag- ging beneath my feet as we made our way down the drafty hall, through a curtained doorway and into a huge, panelled library. At the end of this room stood a massive oak desk on which burned a lamp-the light I had seen from outside. Now, what was it you wanted? queried my aged host. Well, I said timidly, casting a furtive glance about me, I - - I'm the new air-raid warden, and, Mr. Pierce, you'1l have to turn out that light. -BETTY LEE CARTER, '44 Page One Hundred and Sixteen-THE GINKGO THE EXPERT Sandy O'Riley's car wasn't what you'd call ancient, but in its eight years of hard running and over-working by a sixty-five year old gen- tleman who had never seen the engine under the hood it had contracted just about all the fevers and diseases that an old car could un- der the circumstances. It was no wonder that the engine had suddenly sputtered and stopped when Sandy was out on a well-tra- veled country road, riding with the woman he intended to marry when he reached the age of seventy. I'll have this buggy goin' in a jiffy, he assured his ladylove. With that, he jumped out, lifted the hood, and began to peer at the maze of wires and gadgets that caused the vehicle to operate. Hey, Lizzie, toss me that handbook that's in the glove box, he yelled. After examing the book hurriedly, he exclaimed, Ha, here it is! It says, 'lf car will not start, first check ignition and then the fuel line, carburetor, and fuel pump. If motor still will not start, have expert repair man look at it'. A few minutes later, Sandy was still star- ing at the engine when a car stopped near him and the driver yelled, Havin' a little trou- ble, stranger? Yes, replied Sandy as the man walked up, an' I don't know a blasted thing about the engine in this contraption. My name's Iohnnie Slack, the man be- gan, an' l'm an expert mechanic. I'll bet those tools you got there must be worth three or four hundred dollars. You could take the whole motor apart with 'em, ventured Sandy when Iohnnie Slack brought over his kit. Yeh, these are the best tools there is, an' seein' that I'm an expert mechanic, I s'pose I c'd take an airplane apart with 'em. What's that, asked Sandy, pointing to an object on the engine. Oh, that's just the carburetor, but you wouldn't know anything about that. There's prob'ly some dirt in it somewhere. He then selected several tools from his mar- velous array and began to loosen screws and nuts. About two hours later he finished putting the fuel pump together. Well, he finally said, I guess she'll start pretty quick now. Step on the starter After Sandy had made several futile at- tempts to start the engine, an old farmer ani- bled up and inquired about the trouble. I dunno what it is, said Iohnnie, but it's too complicated for you to figure out. We'll see about that, said the farmer. He disappeared around the back of the car as Sandy made another futile attempt to start the motor. A moment later the farmer re- appeared with a triumphant grin smeared across his face. lest as I thought, he an- nounced, she's out'a gas. BOB NOBLE, '43 DRUGSTORE INCIDENT As the third act of the Senior Class play moved toward its conclusion, I sat silent, try- ing to think of something that Mary and I could do after the show. After thinking over all the possibilities,-I decded that we'd go to the drugstore for somethng to eat. The cur- tain fell amid a round of applause. As we inched our way through the corridor and down the steps, both of us commented on the play and the actors. By the time we had reached the sidewalk I had got together enough cour- age to ask Mary if she cared to go over to Davis's. She said she did. When we had given our orders to the soda jerk I had a queer feeling that everything was not just as it should be. I reached into my pocket. Ima- gine my terror when I discovered my wallet was not there. I had forgotten it 'when I had changed my trousers. lust as I was about to tell the clerk to cancel our order, Bob Tay- lor and his girl came in and sat down at our table. I-li, Mary! Hi, Bill! How about celebrating with us? I got a raise today. I murmured something about not wanting to be a moocher, but I was thankful when he insisted. On my way home that night I resolved never again to buy a suit with two pairs of pants. WILLIAM GIBSON, '44 Page One Hundred and Seventeen-THE GINKGO Selectitms from the Classics TWO GIRLS AT A FOOTBALL GAME Cindy and Daisy seat themselves on the fifty-yard line to watch a football game. Who are we playing? asks Cindy. I don't know. Some team in ugly red suits, comes the reply from Daisy. h Cindy nods and exclaims, Look at the sim- ply darling guy near the bench! lsn't he cute? Yeah, but I like the one in front of us bet- ter. Look, they're starting. What's all the yelling for? Did we make a touchdown? No, they did. Say, Who's that guy with Mary. I've never seen him before. I don't know. Dumb-looking, isn't he? Yeah See! Someone just got hurt. Look at him all stretched out. 'I'here's Betty. Hi ya, Betty. Doesn't she wear the awfulest looking clothes? If l had as much money as she has, l'd be the best- dressed girl in town. What's happening? Oh, I know him. He lives near me. He's a drip. He is? I don't want to meet any drips. Where's everyone going? The game's over, I guess. Who won? I don't know. Theres Mary over there. Let's ask her. Hey, Mary! AUDREY WISE, '43 MURDER The house seems unusually quiet tonight. After that scene on the street, my nerves aren't any too good, anyway. What if that auto had hit me. Ugh! Wouldn't there have been a mess! Could he have tried it? He seemed so nice about it. Wait! Who's that coming up the stairs--? Oh! It's just the cat. Who closed that door? Must have been the wind. There's something going on around here. It feels like murder-lf lack were only here. There is someone downstairs. Where's the gun? l'll have to go down and see Who's there. Maybe he'1l hear me coming down. I hope so. He might go away. I think he's in the kitchen. Who's in there? That poor dear little mouse! Dead as dead can be. That old cat's a murderer. IAMES MCSHANE, '46 A SKIER'S DREAM We gathered round the flickering fire And talked of many things: Of bindings, boots, and Klister wax, Of stems, of Christie swings, Of fast runs down from Alpine heights, Of a Winter sunset's glow, Of mountains, wind-swept ridges, Hard-packed bases, fresh-powdered snow 1 We dreamed away the evening, And talked of the morrow's meet, Of a fast course down the nose dive, Of the time we would have to beat. We talked of the winter's scenery, Of the close-packed runs and trails, Ot the fine array of pines and clouds, Far from the city's rails. We talked of the smell of good Wood smoke Of the snow slopes so bright, Of the silence and the loneliness, And everything seemed right. DON DEAHL, '43 ALMA MATER In years to come when I am old And the pages of time have turned, l'll gather my children about my knee To hear the lessons they have learned. Then l'll take my GINGKO from the shelf, And thumb the pages throughg To pictures of schoolmates l'll proudly point- Of Patty, of Bill, and of Sue. l'll wonder where their paths have led To places far and near. And maybe, as I think of them, l'll wipe away a tear, And wish that I were back again And all the friends were nigh That I had made in my four years At dear old Crafton High. PAULINE WOOD, '45 Page One Hundred and Eighteen-THE GINKGO Famous Speeches FUN I un means havingbyour kind of a good time - it means enjoying yourself in the way that you, yourself, consider worth the time. Pun is doing the sort of things you like to do-it is munching potato chips and dill pickles in a tiny room jammed with scores of other chat- tering individuals-it is digging in the rain- soaked sand pile wth your rascally little bro- ther. It is choosing the exact shade of lipstick to match your new scarlet creation-it is wearing the colors HE admires most on other girls-it is the steady process of winding HER in on your line-it is gradual assimilation of the melody of that new hit tune. It is bustling around, searching for a spicy topic to liven up an ordinarily dull class-the joy of handing in an assignment on time, for onceg the pleasure of catching that look of as- tonishment on the old man's face. All kinds of sleeping are fun-the light sleep that brings dreams of cherished desires-the heavy sleep which results in baggy eyelids- the doze that satisfies one's subconscious crav- ing for rest. l:'un'is knitting a scarf destined to become a soldier's prize possession-it is sneaking a handful of newly-baked cookies from the shelf -it is choosing cute do-dads to place in the Christmas stockings-it is crawling behind the cabinet to reach that stray ping-pong ball. lt is searching through the stack of old news- papers for a lost episode of Superman -- it is rolling up the rugs for a jam session Fri- day night-it is taking a bath when there is plenty of hot water. Fun is, in one sense, a habit-once one starts having fun, it is difficult to stop. As a habit, it is hard to break. But fun is lots of un. BARBARA PERRIN, '43 A TOAST TO THE CLASS OF '43 I propose a toast to the class of '43. A toast to the fun we've had-From the first year, when we tiptoed into the Snow- ball, dazzled by the glittering lights, until this year, when we clapped and stamped at the Harvest Hop -from our freshman days of fourth-string football, through our junior days of W.P.I.A.L. championship games, into our senior victories-through myriads of pep- py basketball contests, rousing cheerleading rallies, and winding snake dances-from last- minute dress rehearsals, when we quaked with stage fright, to the thrills of opening nights-from days of dashing madly about to meet that News O' Craft deadline, to the dis- tribution of the finished GINGKO-from mixed chorus at 8:00, to girls' chorus at 12:15-from our first Girl Reserves Weiner roast, to our last Senior Banquet. A toast to the work we've done-The Cae- sar we've struggled to translate-the algebra problems we've labored over-the chemistry experiments that smoked up the lab and choked everyone around-+the history forums we've debated in and the English speeches we've adlibbed-the exercises we've typed and the shorthand we've written. A toast to the people we've worked with- the faculty Cwho will ever forget Mr. Keefer's sly humor,-Miss Gayvert's indomitable ener- gy,-Mr. Willis's subtle explanations?J-the administration-Mr. Brunk, always friendly and smiling-the office force-the helpful and hard-worked secretaries-the janitors-the kind building superintendent-and the pains- taking janitorial force. A toast to the past! A toast to the future of every member of the Class of '43! GLORIA DUNN, '43 ENGLISH CLASS ADDRESS Two score and five minutes ago Mr. Kiser brought forth, in this English class, a new test, conceived in difficulty and dedicated to the proposition that all who can pass it are of the super race. Now we are engaged in the task of writ- ing the answers, testing whether our methods of copying, or any methods so conceived, can long endure without detection. We are met in the room where our daily recitations take place. We have come to dedicate a portion of this room, preferably the waste basket, as a final resting-place for our papers. It is al- together fitting and proper that we should do this, although dedication is not necessary. Page One Hundred and N ineteen-THE GINKGO In a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot use this waste basket. Brave men, living and dead, who have here struggled with similar exams have used this receptacle until it now overflows, it is beyond our power to add or detract. The school will little note or long remember what we do here, but it will never forget or lose this exam, it never forgets such things. lt is for us, who are now taking it, rather to be dedi- cated to the task of iinishing these now in- complete answer sheets. lt is rather for us to be here dedicated to the task remaining before us-that from these disgusting papers we should receive a passing mark, that we highly resolve that these examination papers will be burned, that these papers over which we have long labored will burn well, and that, in the future, tests of the class, by the class, and for the class will perish from the earth. ART SCHOCK, '44 Clippings prom EXPLANATION The ginkgo is a Chinese tree fThe name is scientiticl, And like our book, that's named for it, lt's fame is quite terrific. So if you're asked, please make it plain Why GINKGO was selected To be the name of Crafton's book, Long honored and respected. DOROTHY IANE IAMISON, '43 THE GREMLINS If your ration books are missing, And your gas tank has been drained, lf your worthless tires are stolen, And your shoes are terribly strained, Know this is caused by Gremlins, Who inhabit land and air.

BERNICE MCCOY, '45 Page One Hundred and Twenty-THE GINKGO Correspondence I USED TO BE I used to be a fireman, I used to be a cop, I used to be a farmer, But I never had a crop. I used to be a milkman, I used to be a thief, I used to be a banker, But it caused me too much grief. I used to be a mailman, I used to be a clerk, I used to be a druggist, And then a soda jerk.

Blank!! comes Wenrich's cry, We're in for it, know Warner and I. It seems that we do everything wrong, And Wenrich chants his eternal song: Come on, move, you lazy loafers! You look like two big awkward gophers. Basketball was our favorite sport When we tor practice did first report. Now we sweat and slave and work, While Wenrich yells, You great big jerk! And our tortured eardrums hear Not any praise throughout the year. Yet to all questions we retort, Basketball is one great sport.

He isn't very good, And that's the rub. He's known to everyone As a scrub. PAUL WARNER 43 LUNCH TIIVIE AT C.H.S. Crafton High at lunch time ls really something to see, Swarms of kids rushing, And on the floor is me. I slowly pick myself up When gone are all the bunch. What! No bones broken? Why, then l'll get my lunch. I rush into my homeroom, And darned if I don't fall! lt's now 12:30 by the clock. Why go home at all? DORIS KOONTZ, '46 AS USUAL The teacher, with a heavy sigh, Turned the pages slowly by, Poised his pencil and said to me, Young man, I think you'll get an 'E' IOSEPI-I MCKEON, '46 Page One Hundred and Twenty-one--THE GINKGO Selections from onfttsion Magazines CANINE CATASTROPHE At last, an independent business man! As I walked down Mason Avenue my heart was light though my load was not. After all, fifty- seven papers make a big load for a twelve- year-old. Only one Week on the route and already I'm doing fine, I thought as I whistled my way down the street. I especially prided myself on my dexterity in folding papers. Though I was only an amateur, my papers were always folded as artistically as any five-year veteran. So oc- cupied Was I in seeing a crease was just right that I Walked right past Thompson's without leaving a paper. I got home that evening with three extras Oh, well, I thought, that guy at the news-stand never counts them right. Wha's that, Mom? The 'phone? Okay! 'Oh, hello, Mrs. Thompson. What? Oh, I'm sorry. I'll bring it right over. Good-bye. I gathered up all three papers in the hope that I might sell one to somebody. But as I turned onto the now dusky Mason Avenue I still had three left. As I walked up the Thomp- son sidewalk, carefully folding a paper, sud- denly, out of nowhere, a fuzzy comet in the form of a Boston bulldog attacked me-from the rear. There was an ominous R-R-RIP! About sixteen square inches of trouser ma- terial, which normally covered the posterior portion of my anatomy, were now dangling from the jaws of the delighted dog. I hastily deposited the paper on the porch, and plac- ing the two remaining papers in a position where they would do the most good, I beat an ungallant, though not unnecessary, retreat. CHARLES LONEY, '44 FIRST TIME February twenty-eighth! It had finally come, the day of my first formal dance. I was a freshman and that night I was going to my first formal. It seemed as if the day would never end, but finally I was in my last period. Of all classes, this would have to be a study period! I was waiting for the bell to ring, wishing it were nine o'clock, thinking how nice I would look in my new formal dress. At last the bell rangp I grabbed my books and ran up the steps to my homeroom. All through the halls I heard, Aren't you thrilled? What time is he coming? What color is your dress? Oh, I wonder what kind of a corsage I'1l get. Different questions kept running through my mind: Who should keep the dance program? Who should ex- change the dances? I was so excited that I didn't hear a friend asking me whom I was going to the dance withg and in a daze I an- swered, Ah, oh, a blue tatteta dress. Oh, well, she was a senior. I guess she remem- bered her first formal when she was a fresh- man. She just patted me on the back and said, Don't worry, everything will turn out all right. The juniors and the seniors were tak- ing it as a matter of course, but we freshmen -well, this was our first formal. ' MARIORIE NEISH, '44 CRIME DOESN'T PAY I'd just settled down by the fire to read A horrible tale, a horrible tale Of murder and vengeance, of death and of greed. It made me turn pale, it made me turn pale. Then I heard a crashing knock at the door, And froze in my chair, and froze in my chair. The clock on the mantle had just chimed fourg So who could be there? So who could be there? I cautiously opened the door a crackg And collapsed on the floor, and collapsed on the floor. The body lay with a knife in its backg It was covered with gore. It was covered with gore. The cops then began the third degreeg But no rubber hose, but no rubber hose. And now you'll find me in cell 33, With bars by my nose, with bars by my nose. . IACQUELINE DELMER, '45 Page One Hundred and Twenty-two-THE GINKGO MY LITTLE RED AX I shall tell of it, although it's stark and gory, I shall tell of his bloody corpse by the quarry. He fell by my ax, my little red ax, And this, my dear friends, is the story: He was no different from you or another, I-Ie was just the same as my own little brother. but he fell by my ax, my little red ax, And granite will now be his cover. He was smart, oh, smart to perfection, But this I need never mention, Cause he fell by my ax, my little red ax, And has gone to the place of correction. And now I shall tell you my reason- Not murder, graft, or treason- He fell by my ax, my little red ax, Because, my dear friends, of the season. He was a turkey, dear people, for Thanks- giving, So have no pity or any misgiving. He fell by my ax, my little red ax, More precious to us dead than living. CONSTANCE STEWART, '43 DID I GO? The time has come. I must not fail To confess it all-this wretched tale. It happened back at Kyser's mill, An old, old shack. It stands there still, And I'll go back. The story goes that the mill was haunted, But being a youth, I was not daunted. I proceeded to plan the so-called lark, And climbed up the rail at the start of dark, And I had gone. Some thought me crazy, others mad, But I was only glad, very glad. And when I think of that wretched old mill, My heart doth quiver, my spine doth chill, For I had gone back. And many a time on a cold winter's night, When I sit alone in the candle light, I hear that body dragging its chain. And Iyknow I'll never go back again. And I did not go back.

It haunts me on my way to doom, I reach the building and make for my room. Up the steps I drag my feet, Down to room five, into my seat. I think all period of my fate, And fail to study while I wait. In physics class all's a mess- I break my pencil, miss a guess, Still thinking of that fateful test. I wonder how I'll do my best. I haven't studied or opened my book, I must pass that test by hook or crook. My grade is appalling, it's C or below, Another bad grade would add to my woe. Now we are seated and joke no more, For Mr. Keefer comes in the door. He takes the attendance, arranges the seating. One sheet of paper, he says, and no cheat- ing. He steps to the board with some chalk in his hand, And writes out problems I don't understand, As soon as I see them, I know I am stuck. What's that ringing? Oh, boy, I'm in luck! The siren is sounding. Mr. Keeler speaks up, The test is postponed. I repeat Oh, what luck! No school next week, so I'll study my best, And then I shall pass that mathematics test. ROBERT BROTI-IERTON, '44 Page One Hundred and Twenty-three--THE GINKGO THE MEN When the world is bright and cheery, I some- times get quite weary, Thinking of those persons who call themselves -the Men. They are very puzzling creatures, cmd I oft screw up my features, Worrying o'er those beings who call them- selves--the Men. They're the kind that go canoeing, and lure you with their wooing, Or the kind that never ever get to those ro- mantic moods, They're those that spend big money, just to please their little honey, And the ones that never ever think of any- thing but foods. They're the kind that drive you crazy and make your day seem hazy 'Cause they won't pay attention to the little things you do. 66 In trying so to please them, you may taunt or you may tease them, But they never do appreciate and are never nice to you. There are ones that do the pestering, and are forever gesturing When you are very busy and have some work to do, But the ones you want to pester and want to have them gesture Are the ones that never want to, and never ever do. Oh, this world is very funny and would some- times be quite sunny If we didn't have to worry about those cer- tain-you-know-who, But they have the same oplnion of us poor abused women, So I guess we're really equal, and there's nothing we can do, GWEN ANNE WALLEY, '44 Names From Little Black Books REMEMBERING Let's take time out on GINKGO Day To cheer our boys who've gone away, And in a fervent prayer say, May God protect them day by day. We miss Iohnny Wilt and Murphy too, Lefty Booth, Paul Farnen, and Smitty Woo, Vito Denardis, of football fame, And many others we'd like to name. We trust on our next GINKGO Day That war clouds will have passed away, That Crafton will again be gay, And all our boys be home to stay.

They had two Holmes. a summer home on the Rio Grande and a Win- ter home. The things this woman did would have Schock-ed a King. She would never re- Ioyce at anything.

This would be the real McCoy if he could only make the Wright decision. Finally, he de- termined to Graser head with a club and Cart- er away in a Karr. But carting her away was not easy, for the Karr got stuck in a Marsh and he had either to take her down the in- Cline or to walk her down. Suddenly he real- ized he must be very Frank with her. When she had recovered, he decided to Grant her a vacation, after which they agreed to Stuart all over. Now he is a Newman and she is a new woman.

Our King rules over us like a Dragan. What we need is a new Deahl to put us back on Easy Street. The bomb that destroyed the royal Otto last week and the attempt to Lynch the prime minister have set many Hartz beating faster and turned many heads Gray. How can I Russell up any meals if the Baker never sends the White bread and cakes, and if the Fisher-man never brings the trout? The only reason they don't patronize our Ward is because I never have more than a few Franks to pay them, and it seems they won't accept anything but English money. When our Noble monarch in- stalled a Booth in the dining hall where the chorus might Carroll during banquets, Wise men knew that that was the last Straw. Four Daley trips were made into town by the young Gardner, and the Smith reported to the Bowman every move of their royal master. Once when the King came out to speak to the Smith. he stumbled on a Rock near the deep Wells at the side of the palace gates. So much confusion resulted that in a desperate Gam- ble. the Bell in the tower was rung to an- nounce a revolution. Aided by the Winter weather, the rebels succeeded in Wilt-ing the power of their King. Their mission had been Dunn. IOAN SUTI-IERLAND, '43 A SCHOOL DAY One cold Gray Winter morning as I was plodding up Noble Street. I suddenly heard the last Bell ring. My Hart began to pound in my ears, and I bumped into two old friends, Howard and Herrmann. They were going to the Warner theater to see that clever Witt, Rudolph Valley, in The Palm Beach Story. They asked me to go along. When we arrived, I noticed by my Hamilton watch that the time was 10:30. The last part of the picture was censored by the Hayes of- fice, one disgusted individual cried, This is the last Straw. and threw a Rock. which the manager tried to Ward off. We decided that we Otto go to school, and so we hurried up to Grant Street. Remember- ing a call I had to make, I stepped into a tele- phone Booth. After this was Dunn. I bought a Daley paper, and read that McNutt was ad- vocating a larger army. At noon we went into Davis's drugstore and spent a few Nichols on some Clark bars, then we returned to school feeling Albright. Later, in English class, Miss Vogeley reprimanded a Wise Young man because he preferred to Read comic books rather than to study gram- mar. At the end of the school day Thomas and I trudged home through the Myers of Fos- ter Avenue. RICHARD LONG, '43 Bits From Scrapbooks HAIRPINS GO OFF TO WAR ln Murphy's five and ten cent store A great calamity did fall- The hairpins marched off to war, To answer to their country's call. Big pins went and little pins went, The medium size pins went too. Straight, straight they went, battle-field bent, Seeking something so brave to do. I-Iairpins are really missed at home. The pretty girls' morale falls low. When they glance at mirror or comb, Their sinking hearts fill with woe. But yet they are happy to give A little to their country's iight, That in the future they may live, With every Wave and curl pinned tight. DOLLY MCNAMEE, '46 SONG STORY It was Deep In the Heart of Texas that I met Mr, Five By Five. Immediately he said, 'Why Don't You Fall In Love With Me'? ' I said, 'It's A Military Secret.' So we board- ed the Chattanooga Choo Choo to Idaho and there we had a Moonlight Cocktail By the Light of the Silvery Moon. As We lis- tened to the Manhattan Serenade, I said, 'It Seems To Me I've Heard That Song Be- fore. ' I-le said, 'You're Day Dreaming. ' When we parted, he said Let's meet 'Every Night About This Time.' I said, Yes, because 'I Don't Want to Walk Without You.'

And Ioanne Myers' skin so fair. I Want lane I-lenry's soft, sweet mouth, And Mary Flanagan's nice height. l'd like Wilma lean Dunn's quiet poise, And llo Iane's clothes so bright. I want to cook like dear Martha Hardy, And draw like clever Kitty Scott. Like Barbara White-Spunner, l'll read books' And like Dorothy leschke, l'll sew a lot. I Like Dolores Lampe, l'll lightly danceg And like Mary McCurdy, ride. Like Nina Sommerville, l'll swimg And like Flo Rudolph, skate and glide. Because I can't have these many traits, I shall not take them away. Their owners should cherish and hold them, They might need them themselves someday. PATRICIA MEREDITH, '46 A. STAAB and SONS E. F.
