In our produc- tion we have aimed to present the students in the action of the school day. If the play seems dull, humdrum, and lacking in sparkle and swift move- ment, the fault is with the playwrights, not with the actors: for we assure all that life during the past year within the walls of Crafton High School has teemed with comedy and tragedy and their accompanying laughter and tears.

CLASS SONG To the tune of The Old Lamplighteru You've made our lives a little brighter, We're sorry that We're through As we pass through the portals of dear old Gold and Blue. We recall when we were freshmen- Our days were filled with strife, But now that we are seniors, We're more prepared for life. And we recall when days were new- We started school down in Room Two. We thought we knew it all, but now we knowl For after all these four hard years We have abolished all our fears, And now we are prepared to meet our call. You've made our lives a little brighter. We're sorry that We're through As We pass through the portals of Dear Old Gold and Blue.

Throughout their nine-game schedule, the Cougars were frequently out-classed but never out-fought. At the end of a tough season their score was five wins and four defeats. They won the victory over Langley ta traditional foel, Baldwin, Scott Township, Brentwood and Bellevue, and they suffered defeat at the hands of McKeesport, McKees Rocks, Dormont tC1ass A semifinalistsl and Stowe. In the Blue and Gold team of last fall were many heads-up ball players, A number of the Crafton victories were acquired by the squad's undying deter- mination and fight. About twelve of the first string played their last football season and left a record of which they can be really proud. Next year's squad will have a head start since there will be several letter- men in the line-up. If the men of the l947 team show the fight and determina- tion exhibited by the 1946 team, they may well play brilliant football. Page Sixty-THE GINKGO FOOTBALL GAMES CRAP TON 0 - MCKEESPORT 33 Under the lights of the McKeesport Vocational Stadium the Crafton Cougars opened their '46 season. Completely outclassed, the Crafton boys put up a determined fight to the end but were unable to dent the McKeesport line for much yardage. Only once during the game did the Cougars threaten the op- ponents' goal. O'Mahony was the standout player for the Crafton eleven. The Cougars proved to be a fighting team to the final whistle. Although the Crafton boys were thoroughly drubbed, they appeared to have the material necessary to provide a successful season. CRAFTON 0 - MCKEES ROCKS 12 ln an evening game, on the home grounds, the Cougars suffered a straight defeat at the hands of the McKees Rocks team. Hampered by last-minute in- juries of Kramer and Wells, starting guard and end respectively, the Cougars were held scoreless after their first two starts. Although the Crafton eleven threatened the opponents' goal several times, the Rox line dug in and thus held the local boys scoreless. Hankey and Hightower were the sparkplugs for the Rox. After a scoreless first half the Cougars were caught napping and thereby suffered their second defeat of the season. CRAFTON 7 - LANGLEY 0 ' In the Crafton-Langley game, rampant with sharp rivalry between the two schools, the bruising play of the Crafton line-up was outstanding. Crafton, the underdog, outfought and outplayed the Langleyans for a well deserved victory. In this hard fought game, high-lighted by the crushing play of the Crafton team, the Cougars threatened in the second quarter when an aerial, McCready to O'Mahony, and a lateral to Warner moved the ball to the three. The half ended before another play could be run off. Undaunted, the Blue and Gold started the third quarter, Yanchus and Bockert biting off huge gains down to the five. From this point Warner scored on afplunge. McCready drop-kicked for the point. Neither team threatening again, the Blue and Gold came off the field the victor. CRAFTON 0 - DORMONT 6 On the home field and at the hands of the Dormont Bulldogs the underdog Cougars took their third defeat of the season. From start to finish the Craf- tonites proved to be one of Dormont's toughest foes. Only by the startling run of Boucher, from punt formation, were the Cougars defeated. By the great defensive work of the Blue and Gold line, the Crafton players were able to hold the Bulldogs to their lowest score in regular season play. The Cougars came into scoring position many times, but each time their threat was turned back by unfortunate penalties. This defeat can be looked upon as a moral victory over Crafton, because the Dormont team went on with an undefeated season until the Class A semi-finals. CRAFTON 19 - SCOTT TOWNSHIP 0 On a drive staged in the last half, Crafton overpowered Scott Township for a second victory. Each Cougar ball carrier had an excellent chance to show his merits on long, broken field runs made possible by an alert Crafton line. The usual broken field runs by Warner sparked the Cougars to an easy vic- tory. This was really the first time that the Cougars showed their potential offensive energy. The pass-receiving ability of Wells greatly helped to chalk up a Cougar victory. Page Sixty-one-THE GINKGO FOOTBALL GAMES CRAFTON 7-BALDWIN 6 McCready's drop-kick for the extra point provided the margin of victory for Crafton, on their home field, against Baldwin. The game was a bruising fight from the beginning. The fourth quarter had but a minute to go when a 20-yard pass from McCready to Wells put the Cougars back into the game. The extra point was added when there were but seconds left. Brilliant play was displayed by Warner, who kept battering the Baldwin line. The final whistle found the Cougars the winners in their most exciting game of the season. CRAP TON 12 - STOWE 14 The Crafton-Stowe game, played under the lights, was a thrilling battle from beginning to end. Stowe scored first on a sustained drive and converted with a plunge. Shortly after the second quarter began, Crafton scored on a 40-yard aerial, McCready to Wells. McCready's try for the point was blocked. At the beginning of the third quarter the score was still 7 - 6. At this point Stowe launched another drive and did not stop until they were in the Crafton end zone. Again they converted: this time by a pass. Still very much in the game, the Cougars marched to the Stowe 20, but were stopped by a fumble which lost fifteen yards. Late in the final quarter, with the ball on the Stowe 45, McCready launched a long pass. This was gathered in by Wells on the three, and he fell across the final line. Again Crafton failed to convert. An attempt at an on-side kick failed: the whistle blew, with the score standing 14-12. ' CRAFTON 20 - BRENTWOOD 18 In a high-scoring fray, Crafton topped a scrappy Brentwood eleven, 20-18. Brentwood scored first with an 85-yard pass play. Crafton came back strong in the second quarter, scoring twice on touchdowns by McCready and Christy. McCready kicked the point. The half ended with Crafton in front 13-6. At the very beginning of the third quarter McConaghy picked off a Brentwood aerial and lugged it 34 yards to score. McCready's kick made the score 20-6. Then the Blue and Gold began to relax. They were iolted back to reality when Brentwood scored two quick touchdowns in the fourth quarter. With a venge- ance the Cougars rolled up the field, but time ran out, with the ball on Brent- wood's nine. Although Crafton out-played and out-gained Brentwood, the latter never stopped fighting. CRAP TON 25 - BELLEVUE 7 Crafton ended a successful season in a runaway game against the Bellevue Tigers. With a deadly passing attack, led by McCready, the Cougars crossed the Tiger goal on numerous occasions. Bellevue's only touchdown came late in the fourth period against the Crafton subs. In this game every Cougar participating, regular and sub, showed, by his fine playing, the results of the season's training and experience, and thereby brought the Crafton season to a successful close. Page Sixty-two-TH E GI N K GO FOOTBALL PLAYERS RALPH BOCKERT - Fullback C313 Because of his speed, Ralph was shifted from guard to fullback to fill that gap in the Cougar backfield. With his hustle and fight, Ralph buckled down to work on both the offensive and defensive. On the offensive he was equally good at hitting the line and rounding the endsp while on the defensive he used his hard earned experience as a lineman when he backed up the line, blocked passes, and plugged gaps in the Cougar forward wall. Ralph leaves Crafton in Iune, 'and in his going Crafton loses a good all-round player. IACK CHRISTY-End l30l Though only a sophomore, Iack could be counted on every minute he was in the game. Not a regular, Iack nevertheless was in action a good part of the time. His speed made a difference in rushing a passer and sifting through to turn an end-run back. He would scythe away the blockers and often get the runner too. On pass plays or down-field blocking, he would be in the oppo- sition's secondary before they knew what was happening. ln mapping the '47 squad, Pop will be able to use Iack, who has taken up where his brother Ralph left off. FRANCIS CRIST-Fullback C233 Although not a starter, Dutch saw plenty of action and gave the team a needed boost whenever he was sent into a game. He picked up plenty of yardage on his sweeping end runs. On slanting, driving line bucks Dutch was a speed merchant, a fact which helped him to fulfill the fullback spot: for a T formation fullback has to have speed. On the defensive he backed up the line, blocking and intercepting passes, piling up line bucks, and turning back end runs. His loss will be felt by the '47 team. DAVID GRAY-Quarterback C211 Dave was one of Crafton's best pass defenders. He accounted for a great number of blocked passes. Many times his tricky pass defending saved the Cougars from defeat. The opposing players seemed unable to keep Dave from breaking up their runs when they penetrated the Cougar secondary. Not only did he block passes and make hard tackles, but he also intercepted many enemy heaves, feats that really counted in the Crafton victories. His alert- ness made him one of Pop's most dependable backer-ups. Next fall Dave's return to the gridiron will be counted an advantage to the Cougar team. FREDERICK KELLER -Guard f32l Fritz was one of the most sincere players Crafton put on the field last fall. His fast, low charging enabled him to make many tackles behind the line. The inability of their opponents to wave Fritz out of their way saved the Blue and Gold from many defeats, while Fred's sturdy blocking gained them many vic- tories. As Crafton's opposers found out, Fritz was a rough tackler. To fill this guard's position next year, for Fred graduates in Iune, a super ball player must be found. CHARLES KELTON-Tackle f35l Yoho was one of the big boys on the Crafton team. In a line that usually out-fought and out-played the opposition, Yoho still stood out with his rushing passers, piling up line bucks, breaking up razzle-dazzle before it got started, and seeping through to smash reverses for big losses. On the offensive one could count on Yoho to be ripping holes, either on quick openers or the T's tricky cross-bucks. A varsity player for two years, Yoho still has one year left to help buttress the Cougar line. Page Sixty-three-THE GINKGO FOOTBALL PLAYERS GEORGE KRAMER - Guard l32l Although George was benched the first part of the season because of an accident, he came back to be one of the Cougars' starting defensemen. George always managed to get his man and also helped to break up the surges at the Crafton line. He could often be seen on the bottom of a pile-up, with his arms wrapped around the on-rusher's legs. Always eager to nail the opposing ball carrier and win the game for the good old Blue and Gold, George was an alert guard and wide-awake ball player. He was a hard charger who opened up many holes so that the backfield men could gain ground. The Cougars won't have George's services next fall, for he leaves with the Class of '47. ANTHONY KUESHNER-Guard l26l Pop likes rough football, and that's the kind Tony played last season. Though light in weight, Tony had fight. When a thrust at the center of the Blue and Gold line was piled up, Tony could usually be found at the bottom, dragging the ball carrier to the ground. On the offensive he never stopped trying, and he helped open many gaps in the opposition's line. Helped by this year's experience, Tony will be out there in the Cougar's forward wall of '47, making things easier for Crafton and tougher for the opposition. BERNARD MCCONAGHY- Center l39l On defense Bernie was the backer-up of this year's team. It a hole was opened in Crafton's line, Bernie hurled himself into the breach and smashed the ball carrier to earth. He was alert against passes, and his height enabled him to bat down passes that would have meant serious gains against the Cougars. On offense Goose had the center's dual job of getting the ball to the quarterback and getting his man. Keeping the team fighting when the going was rough, Bernie was the team's pepper-upper. A senior this year, Bernie will surely be missed on next year's team. DONALD MCCREADY--Quarterback l27l Don, the halfback on last year's eleven, this year was switched to quarter- back, the key position of the T formation. Don's quick, cool thinking in call- ing the plays and his ability in handling the ball kept Crafton's opponents guessing. One of the Blue and Gold's speediest men, he also broke away for some sizeable gains. Doing all of Crafton's forward passing, Don could be counted upon to hit his target on the nose. As he played safety man on de- fense this year, he was often called upon to bat down a pass or stop an enemy runner short of the goal, and he was found equal to the task. Since Don grad- uates in Iune, his presence will be missed on next year's team. IACK MAHAN -Haltback l29l Moe was one of Crafton's fleet-footed reserve backs. He thrilled many Blue and Gold rooters when he went off tackle and weaved his way through the foe's secondary. lack was equally good on both defense and offense. He constantly intercepted passes, blocked passes, and made numerous tackles that kept the enemy from scoring. When Moe was in there, he gave all he had. Perhaps only his team mates know how much lack helped out when they needed those few extra yards. He made many first downs that kept the Cougars rolling. Next year's team will be fortunate in having lack as one of its players. Page Sixty-four-THE GINKGO FOOTBALL PLAYERS IOHN O'MAHONY - Captain - End i40l The mention of Iohnny's name makes a Cougar fan glow with pride. Top- ping three years of brilliant football by captaining the '46 team, Iohnny was one of the hardest working, hardest playing, and hardest fighting linemen of a big, rough, and versatile forward wall. In every game Crafton rooters expected Iohnny to be in the opposition's backfield, dropping reverses, end sweeps, off- tackle slashes, and even straight bucks with an amazing regularity. This he did, along with pass receiving, getting down under punts, and keeping the team working together even when the going was the roughest. For the first time in four years Iohnny will not be in the Cougar line-up next season, for he grad- uates in Iune. IACK PLOWMAN - Tackle MD Iack was one of Crafton's most consistent players. His huge build and terrific stamina enabled him to take the beating of a lineman and still be in the game doing his job effectively'at the closing gun. Going downfield under a punt, he could be counted upon to nail the receiver. lack, teamed with O'Mal- ley, made the right side of the line hard to turn. Mack's alertness in follow- ing the ball enabled him to pounce on fumbles, thereby aiding Crafton, both by setting up touchdowns and by preventing enemy scores. Crafton suffers a serious loss in lack's graduation in the spring. ROBERT SCOTT-Haltback 1241 Bob, the short, stocky halfback, was not often in the starting line-up, but when he did get in, he made his presence known to the opposition. Light- ning hit the line like a buzz saw hitting a log. He chewed his way through, his knees going like pistons, driving for that all important extra yard. In the Bellevue game Bob went through a stubborn, hard charging Bellevue forward wall like a rocket, whizzing ten yards to score. On the defensive he was a hard tackler and played his halfback position well. Bob will not be around next fall, for he leaves the Cougars in Iune. IA1vn:s TOE-Guard f28l lim was the quiet fellow usually seen on the bottom of the pile. Out- weighed in almost every game, he somehow managed to get his man out of the play by opening a sizeable hole for the ball carrier. Never griping or loaf- ing on the job, lim was always playing with everything he had. On defense he backed up the line by plugging up holes or by going back to knock down a pass. An excellent example of a clean player who could give and take and who could be counted on for fine playing, lim will certainly be missed on the local gridiron next fall. ROBERT VOGEL-End f25l What Duke lacked in weight, he made up in perseverance and ability. Bob was a standout player both on defense and on offense. He appeared to take pleasure in stopping the end runs before they reached the end of the line. In speed, Bob excelled. This enabled him to be the first down under punts and to outrun the safety man to snare a pass. Next season Duke will certainly be missed on Crafton's eleven where last fall he never failed to display ability and to set a fine example of sportsmanship. Page Sixty-five-THE GINKGO FOOTBALL PLAYERS RONALD WARNER - Halfback t33l Shifty could be used to describe Ron, as any of the numerous fans who watched him slip through the hands of the would-be tacklers would tell you. Sprinting around end for his usual long gains, Ron gave Crafton rooters some- thing to cheer about. He scored some of the Cougar touchdowns, and is worth- ily credited with setting-up three fourths of the Crafton tallies. When Ron broke into the open, he was plenty hard to stop. He sparked the team by getting his mates out of the hole when things looked bad. He'll retum next year and will, no doubt, win the cheers of all the fans as he has done for the past two seasons. ROBERT WELLS - End C361 Bob was a key man when Crafton went to victory and an undying defense- man when Crafton faced defeat. With his determined effort, Bob was definitely a star receiver, scooping them in over the f'pay-dirt line. He was a good reason for those successful end runs. Hoke could always be depended upon to get his man and hold up his side of the line. He is credited with breaking up many enemy runs that came his way and with engineering several Cougar touchdowns. The pass-to-Hoke was Crafton's best threat play. This season made him a two-year letterman in football. Next year's Cougars will sorely miss Bob. LOUIS YANCHUS-Halfback C373 A veteran of the '45 team, Lou took up Where he left off last year and continued his fine playing. A vicious tackler, he racked many a ball carrier almost out of his hip-pads. Equally good at running the ball, blocking, receiv- ing passes, playing his halfback post against the running and passing attack of the opposition, Lou was at his best in the Langley game, where he tore the Langley line to pieces with his off-tackle stabs. A good sportsman on the grid- iron, a steady, cool player, Lou will be a big help in moulding next year's team. IERRY O'BRIEN - Manager For the past season Ierry had the inglorious job of football manager. The butt of many jokes and often the victim of Pop's ire, he was always the smil- ing, accommodating manager who got his job done promptly and well. Doing the many small but indispensable tasks, such as supplying water, tightening cleats, furnishing tape, lining the field, and looking after a hundred other things, kept him on the run. Always the first one down to practice and the last to leave, Ierry certainly earned his letter in his two years of service. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR '1947 September 5 ................

Because of their lack of height, the Blue and Gold boys were at a disadvantage in almost every game. It Was their spirit and will to win that pulled them through. Almost all the games that the Cougars dropped were by a very slim margin. Poor officiating accounted for the one or two points of victory in a few of the Crafton defeats. Since three letterrnen will return next fall, the outlook for the '48 season is bright. Page Sixty-eight--Y'Hli GINKIIU BASKETBALL PLAYERS GEORGE ALBRIGHT- Center George proved himself to be the surprise player of the year. His hook- shots from the pivot found the range for many Crafton points. His towering height made him a dangerous man under the basket. Besides being a sure scorer, George was also the play maker of the team. Working in the pivot, he enabled Crafton to set up numerous scoring plays. George can truthfully be called Coach Bennett's most reliable player. He will surely be a valuable asset to next year's team. DAVID GRAY - Forward Although he was the smallest man on the squad, Dave's sharp shooting won him the high scoring honors for the season. His speed and expert shooting enabled him to pile up 138 points, just a few markers short of a ten point per game average. His determination enabled him on defense to cover his man well. He often brought the fans to their feet by his sensational long shots, which usually swished. Crafton fans can be glad that Dave will return to the hardwood next season. GEORGE LEECH - Guard Although not a regular, George usually played an important part in every game. Sent in to spell a regular, he could be counted on to be up on the boards, fighting for the ball or putting up his beautiful, dead-set shots. A great ball handler against a zone, George made things look good when he was out front whipping the ball around. Since he is a junior, George will be part of the material used to mold next year's potent five. DONALD MCCREADY - Forward This year, his last on the Cougar floor, Dedi played with undying fight. He occasionally worked the pivot but usually kept near mid-court to help bring up the ball. It appeared that Don preferred to set up a play for someone else rather than to score for himself. He played heads-up ball on both defense and offense. Fair playing and determination to win made him a valuable mari in the Cougar line-up. Always, Don covered his man, big or small. lt was with regret that Crafton fans saw Dedi play his final game for the Cougars. IOHN O'MAHONY - Guard Iohn was one of Crafton's best defense men. His alertness enabled him to block many opponents' passes. Often Iohn made spectacular over-head shots from mid-court. His height was almost an essential to the Cougars under the board. Spirited play by Iohn often brought Crafton from behind to victory. Tricky ball-handling and controlling the boards made him a reliable player. Much of his success may be attributed to his excellent team play and his never giving up. This was Iohn's last year on the Crafton floor, where next season his loss will undoubtedly be felt. GENE SPANO - Forward Gene, that smooth-working, sharp-shoot'ng precision player on the Crafton five, helped pull many a game from the fire. His seemingly impossible shots brought the crowd cheering to its feet, and, much more important, snapped the cords with sharp consistency. Definitely a team player, Gene didn't care who got the points, just so long as Crafton was on the long end. Setting up plays, faking, dribbling, passing, and shooting were all the same to him. Al- ways a capable scorer, Gene ran wild in the first Canonsburg game, racking up 23 points. Graduating in Iune, he won't be hooking 'em in next year and will leave a sizeable gap in the Cougar array. Page Sixty-nine-THE GINKGO BASKETBALL RONALD WARNER - Guard A few weeks after the opening of the season Ron's fine play on the B squad won him a starting position on the varsity team. He came in second in the scoring race. His one-handed push shots from the foul circle became a menace to the opponents. In addition to his offensive play, he was also a stellar defense man. His keen eye for the ball enabled him to block numerous enemy shots from the comers. Ron will no doubt be one of Crafton's most outstanding basketeers next season. ROBERT WELLS - Center Bob, a big man on the boards, was the player on whose shoulers so much depended. lt was his job to help Crafton control the rebounds. Coach Bennett's theory is that fifty-one per cent of the time control of the ball usually means victory. Hoke's biggest job was to be out there getting the ball for the smaller Cougars in order to give them that all important possession. Besides being a ball hawk, Bob was a good shot. His favorite play was faking out from the corner and then drilling in to mesh the ball from underneath. Next year Coach Bennett will have to find a good boy to fill Hoke's shoes. LOUIS BLADEL - Manager During the season Lou constantly heard: Don't forget this. Do you have that? He it was who kept the basketball aggregation literally together. The first to arrive at the game and the last to leave it, he worked every minute he was on the job. He was, indeed, an essential to the comfort and well-being of the players. In addition to the countless other duties he so ably performed, he packed for the team and kept score. If anything went wrong. Lou usually was the one who was taken to task. Coach Bennett will have a hard time next year trying to replace this hard-working and reliable manager. BASKETBALL SCORES FOR 1946 - 47 Crafton ..,.. ...-......... 2 4 - Mt.

Because of Weather conditlons, the squad was delayed in starting practice: but now that it has begun practice, it is speedily getting into shape. The Cougar team is booked with six league games this year, playing two games with each of the following teams: Stowe, Coraopolis, and Carnegie. Although the Blue and Gold hasn't won any pre-season practice games, the team has displayed enough fight and pep to give any nine a worry. Page Sevefzty-two-THE GINKGO Cook Hadly ......

I shall remember the everyday common things that made our Senior Class - things like drowsy study halls, that interminable last per- iod, Goose's stentorian laugh, Herbie's wise- cracks, Kramer's sense of humor, Larry's slow smile, and how fun-loving every one was. I shall remember our dances-the couples on the floor and the music floating down over them, the cliques, and the Crafton spirit. I shall re- member how the realization of graduation gets you, and how you just can't believe you are at the end of the trail. I shall look back and see all these things, and I shall be glad that I was part of them. William Cheesebrough, '47 BIG SCARE My head jerked as the door of the classroom opened. Mrs. Montgomery walked in, whis- pered to the teacher, and then beckoned to me with her finger. Trembling, I got up and fol- lowed her from the room. I didn't know why I should be trembling, for I hadn't done anything. Maybe it was because I was late today. No, it couldn't be that. In the hall, I asked why I had been called out of class. The lady replied that Mr. Leaf wanted to see me in his office. At her words my heart shot up to my throat. Why did he want to see me? My fear grew as I walked to the office. Seated in the outer room, I waited for Mr. Leaf. My breath came in short gasps. Fearfully I thought of last Wednesday, the day I had played hookey. Had he caught me? lust then he summoned me. I walked in, closed the door, and waited for the worst. How old are you? he asked. Seventeen, I replied. I see, he said, turning to a sheaf of papers on his desk. I was just wondering. This morn- ing I received a letter from a certain company requesting the name of a reliable boy for stock- room work and I thought of you. Richard Pettit, '47 MY DESK My desk top is a masterpiece, The work of craftsmen smart, It's worth at least a hundred bucks In any hall of art. Donald Mears, '47 THE DREAM!-IR Twinkle, twinkle, little A l How I wonder if today I shall see you clear and bright, Thus, to bring me joy tonight. Sparkle, sparkle, little B l I-low I wonder if l'll see You shine upon my report, Or if to tears I must resort. Glimmer, glimmer, little C l Oh, I know that you will be Always, forever, my best mark To taunt me when my mood is dark. Flicker, flicker, little D I Poised upon a restless sea Of troubled thoughts and endless woe And lowly marks, all in a row. Dreary, dreary little E l All my life you've haunted me, And it seems to me today That A and B are far away. Dorothy Puhl, '47 NECESSITY I often think about the wooden horse of Troy, And how the treacherous Greeks, the Palladium did destroy. Why study this old myth? or did it ever happen? What's the use of wondering? I have to read my Latin. Sally McCoy, '47 ATLASTIAMAMAN Well, it finally got here. I had a call from Ioe this morning and he said it would be over this afternoon. l can hardly wait. I had a hard time convincing Mom that now I am a man and need one, but I finally succeeded. She thought the red one would be more con- servative: but I held out for a yellow one, with white wall tires. lt will look real snappy. My girl said she won't ride in it. I told her with things the way they are, she should be glad she won't have to walk. Gee whiz, beggars can't be choosersl Oh, there's the truck outside now. Doesn't it look good standing there all new and sparkling? What Mom? Iust one promise ? Sure, I prom- ise to ride my scooter on the sidewalk. Marian R. Miller, '47 Pagel0ne Hundred and Four-THE GINKGO A GRADUATE OF GREAT DEGREE lWith apologies to W. S. Gilbertl When I was a lad I served a term In Crafton High as a freshman germ. I walked in line and I improved my mind, And polished up the apples for the teachers kind. And I polished up the apples so carefully That now I am a graduate of great degree. As a freshman germ I made such a mark They gave me the post of a sophomore shark. I served the teachers with a smile quite bland, And I copied all the answers in a big round hand- I copied all the answers in a hand so free That now I am a graduate of great degree. In serving the school I made such a name That a junior grad I soon became. I wore loud ties and a gay new suit To impress the girls of the institute. The impression on the girls did so well for me That now I am a graduate of great degree. At awing the girls I was such a shark That the senior year was one grand lark. And that senior year was a great reward For all the years I had worked so hard. That arduous work so suited me That now I am a graduate of great degree. Now students all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to a great degree, If your soul is just a freshman germ, You must work to get ahead at every term, And polish up your apples real carefully, So you may be a graduate of great degree. Richard Tait, '48 FINALE His cheeks, proving that this sad specimen had once been fat, flapped against the side of his jaw like those of a bulldog. Gaunt, staring eyes glared through his matted hair, forewarn- ing all who met him of the rage which dwelt within his soul. Carved indelibly in his face were deep lines, portraying the suffering of mankind from the beginning of time. Lean and tormented looking, his weary body seemed to sigh as it carried his tiring brain down the long corridor. Yes, it was done. Was it worth this effort? He would never have to do it again. A faint smile crossed his lips as he, one of the stalwart seniors, handed in his last Ginkgo paper. Ioseph Madden, '47 GINKGO DAY I wrack my brain to write a theme: My mind's a blank, I'm off the beam. I try to think of something witty, A story, poem, or a ditty. Something original is my aim- A masterpiece that will bring me fame. But try as I will, nothing will come: Perhaps it's because I'm just plain dumb. I can't give up, but what shall I say? Oh. who ever started Ginkgo Day? Mary Hulsman, '47 THE STUDY HOUR tWith apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellowj Between gym class and lunch time, when our tummies are beginning to cower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations that is known as the study hour. l hear in the chamber around me the stamping of saddled feet, The sound of a door that is opened, and kids scrambling for a seat. From my studies I look to the hallway, where descending the broad hall stair, Gay Paula and simpering Penny return my lackadaisical glare. A whisper and wild gesticulation cause me to quickly arise, And, armed with a yellow hall pass, join my girl friends, witty and wise. They almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, Till I think of the smeary lipstick, and let out a screech and a whine. Do you think, oh, reckless girl friends, because you have smeared me so That my Lather-Leaves a la Vogeley will not make the red streaks go? Once again I take up my lessons, hoping to learn them by heart In the short time remaining to me before the bell says to depart. But all I can ever remember, in study hour every day, Is that I am hungry and that at twelve I may dash away. Nancy Mae Anderson, '47 Boy! Those senior girls are niftyl So's the Class of Nineteen Fifty. James Flynn, '50 Page One Hundred and Fivse--THE GINKGO ' NIGHTMARE Late, late, one night I went to sleep And found myself in heaven: I started looking all around For the Class of '47. I rambled down the golden streets To find one of my kind: But, though I traveled far and wide, No classmate could I find. I searched each face while passing by: I walked till I was lame. I asked St. Peter. He shook his head And said, lust teachers came. Those words were with me when I woke: I sat straight up in bed. To think the pupils didn't rate- The teachers did, insteadl Virginia Gooding, '47 AT A SOCIAL To me socials mean many things. There's getting ready: crumpled damp towels and the flowery smell of bath powder: deep deliberation between the green sweater and the yellow blouse: my special occasion perfume, Bala- laika, because Im feeling gay: and the Yes, Mother, I'l1 be in at twelve. The walk over to high school is short. I pull open the side door. Music hits me, and the impressions of the long hall-the boys clustered around the shiny red coke machine, looking up as the door bangs: the dull plaid of the linoleum-topped ticket booth and the impersonal pink and white ticket stubs: groups of girls, smooth-haired and fresh- ly lipsticked, going slowly down to the gym. I leave my coat in Room 3 and hurry towards the music. As I turn the corner at the bottom of the stairs, everything changes. The darkness makes me part of a huge, living, black and white pattern. Every type is here: smooth bru- nettes, wearing moccasins and neat sweaters: shiny blondes, fragile in pastels: football cap- tains and bookworms-all of them coming to dance, to laugh, to have a good time. Stags crowd the floor, relaxed and confident, their talk blending with the music. The noise is high- pitched: girls giggling, tossing smart remarks: boys laughing over the latest jokes: Tommy Dorsey's trombone or Harry Iames's trumpet blaring in the background. And there is al- ways the shuffling, sliding, shuffling, sliding feet. At the back of the gym couples sit watch- ing the dancers. Shoulders touching, hands locked, heads near, they gaze at the endless stream. The shadows of the dancers hit the back wall, and the distorted forms add a touch of unreality. The air is hot. Occasionally an open window lets in a sharp cool breeze, and the dancers draw closer together as though to ward it off. I dance with a boy I have known long. I feel the roughness of his sweater against my mouth, and breathe the ivory-soap smell of clean wool. He smiles and hums the tune as we dance. I let my mind drift. And as I do, I see the faces of my friends-all around me-at a social. Evelyn Wolff, '48 A CLOUD The brilliant light that comes with setting sun Was meaningless for one betrayed in love: Forsaken, he looked up and saw a cloud Pass o'er. And in his heart was bittemess. The mother of a child whose death was near Stood gazing at the purple tinted sky: She heard a gasping breath and saw a cloud Pass o'er. And in her heart was bitterness. Alone, within a hut, and weak with age, A wrinkled man sat watching like the rest: But he was conscious of the beauty there. He'd lost a love: he'd lost a life: he'd found His God and wisdom there. He saw the cloud Pass on. And in his heart was happiness. lane Ehrman, '47. A WARNING l'm just a little fwshman, Oh, so very small. You may be a senior, Oh, so very tall. But freshmen, iust like pennies, Add and add and add Until before very long, Each is a mighty grad. So, seniors, here's a warning You all should kindly take: Look friendly at a freshman: The future's in his wake. Each smile you cast on his face Could be a favor kind. For great men are among us, Some day you'll surely find. William Dally, '50 Page One Hundred and Six-THE GINKGO THE LAST SHOT Bennett's quintet, in full battle array, Was evenly matched in the hard-fought fray. With seconds to play, a forward had shot And placed the teams in a spot very hot. The fans then arose, as of one accord, Better to see the ball bound off the board. A desperate toss proved good for a score: The Crafton Cougar had conquered once more. Ierry Moren, '47 THE HILL There was once a hill, Not far in the west, It rose like a king Above all the rest. I decided to see W'hat its top was like. This proved to be An exciting hike. This high hill to me Presented a test: And in climbing it, I did my best. When its top I reached, I laughed with great joy- Because I was there Before Kilroy. Edward Gannon, '49 MY DREAM I dreamed about a sophomore Who was both wise and bright: He always did his homework And stayed in every night. He was ne'er sent to the office, For he was never bad. And so, you see, 'twas a dream, The wildest I have had! Ioan Simpson, '49 SPRING The dreariness seems endless Through these bleak December days, A hibernation- waiting For the sun to lift the haze. Spring has a heady power That frees the heart from hate. I need that intoxication! Oh, Spring! How long must I wait? Beverly Baker, '48 TRIPLE YOUR MONEY BACK. TOO. FOLKS Oh, radio, what aches and pains. You cause us every day, And then give countless remedies To send them all away. Use Baynham's Bops for headaches, And Mrs. Mont's for cornsp And please remember always, Use Kiser's Oil for horns. Use Keefer's Tasteless Ketchup For breakfast, dinner, lunch: And always buy celery in Miss Spamer's Salted Bunch. Buy Bennett's Better Pencils, And Mrs. Springer's Pills. Buy Boyle's Clear Cut Stencils, And Haney's Mix for ills. If these don't satisfy you, Now here is what to do- Send back a cap or box top: We'll send a ring to you. But don't forget your quarter. This ring is really grand: It's shaped like a rocket ship, And adjusts to any hand. So if you seek a bargain- Smart people always do- Listen daily to our station: Dial Parfitt, Network Blue. Nancy Crist, '48 IT'S WONDERFUL! You know l've been wondering if spring is so wonderful? For instance, the other day my friend and I were walking down a quiet street, minding our own business and marvelling at the beauty of the first springy day this year. Our hearts were light, as we drank in the sun- shine. With my arms flung wide and my voice trembling with emotion, I cried, Isn't spring wonderful! No sooner had I uttered the last word when out from behind a car there emerged three begrimed lads, armed with their trusty water guns. We were ambushed and outnum- bered! What else could two defenseless girls do in a case like that but run? So we ran-head- on into a small gremlin coming down the hill at about ninety miles an hour on an ancient tricycle. I escaped with a scraped shin. But after all, spring is wonderful. Leah Hendershot,' 48 Page One Hundred and Seve11-TIIE GINKGO THE AWAKEN ING I lie in a light sleep-the feeling of being suspended between sleep and wakefulness-- the sleep that brings floating snatches of flimsy dreams. Soft colors-pink, blue, and gold- swirl around. Muted music grows faint, then fades into a general theme. The hard, bright sunlight begins to poke around the shades: zig- zagging across the white ceiling and down the pink walls, it falls across the white organdy skirt of my dressing table. I try to hold back the warm, blurred thoughts of the dance: and yet I know that my mind will soon jerk awake to day thoughts, and that I will soon get up and put on my jeans and faded wool shirt. My sis- ter turns over, muttering something to herself, and then smiles. The sunlight catches a sequin on my dress, slithers on to the next and the next, and at last falls on the hem. Now I can smell the odor of freshly made coffee drifting up the stairs. Soon I will have to get up, but just now I want to hold onto a very nice dream for a few minutes longer. Barbara Small, '48 THEEND Sweat, nervous sweat, poured out and damp- ened Kling's furrowed brow. He couldn't stand this much longer. Why did the seconds have to tick by so slowly? Why couldn't they get it over? He stared stupidly at his ragged, bloody f'ngernails, torn by unconscious biting, then spat dtsgustedly and helplessly into the corner. Was it possible that day of horror was here, that day which woke him up in the middle of the night, clammy and shaking? Was he really going to die? Kling had often thought of death -and what came after death. When a kid, he had thought of it as flowers and crying, a bunch of old ladies bawling their eyes out over some old fogy in a big box. He had never pic- tured himself in that box. He knew more about death now. His mind began wandering. He thought of his home and childhood days, of Bad Mike and all his woolly tales of 'fooling the cops. Bad Mike had been his ideal, and he had always imagined himself doing the things Mike had done. He thought of Spike and Muggs and others of the old gang. He thought of the shack they had had by the railroad tracks- His had been a swell gang. Most of them were serving time now. Then he thought of Stinky, good old Stinky. He remembered clearly the day he and Stinky were caught hiding in the girls' washroom at school. He hadn't liked school, anyway. Then his thoughts turned to the fate before him. Are you ready, Kling? The warden's words cut through his thoughts. He rose wearily, as if beaten by his long wait. With the priest's last murmurs of prayer echoing along the marble corridor, Kling hunched his shoulders and began the final mile. Ronald Warner, '48 SQUAD Near the end of August, on some rainy day, soaked bodies begin piling into the clammy locker room. As the coach enters, all damp- ness is forgotten and discomfort gives way to hope. Grimly he stares into each sober face. Then, one by one, he calls certain names. The boys scramble up to the supply room, from which come sounds of clicking shoulder pads, muffled laughter, scraping shoes, and called numbers and sizes. The coach, sighing a little and looking sorry for himself, continues gazing at the other hopeful faces. With that Oh,-why- did-it-have-to-happen-to-me? look, he mumbles a few more names and then sees you. You know he is thinking of resigning: but since you look like a fair practice dummy, he sends you to the supply room. Stumbling into the dimly lit room, you find yourself surrounded by scat- tered equipment that has seen better days. The potential first and second strings have been as- signed lockers, and you watch silently as all the decent supplies are piled in. Hunting among the shoulder pads, which look like torn, beat- up pieces of leather, you finally find some mod- ern pads of 1900 make. Piece by piece, you acquire your battle gear. Happily, you fill your locker while trying not to smile at the disap- pointed faces watching your every move. Told to report on Monday, you pass happily from the room. Then you think of the drills, the bruises. the mud, and the aching muscles which will toughen you up for a full fledged member of the fourth string. - Gilbert Friday, '48 209 I am a freshman from Room 209, The room of animals so fair and fine, The room of plants of many kinds, The room of broken window blinds.

The meetings are broadcast on each Tuesday, from l:UO to 1:30 p. m., during the school year, by station INWSW, from the auditorium of one of the participating schools. Representatives from two schools present their views on a suggested topic. On May sixth Crafton and Carnegie high schools discussed the timely question: How can the problems connected with the coal industry be best solved? Miss Hepler was the faculty sponsor for Carnegie, and Dr. Baynham was sponsor for Craiton.
