Q.'s or what have you on this line up of teachers. fThey have plenty of them just the same.l New we are going to tell you what makes the faculty of our high school really click with us.v Modern pupils need modern ideas and teachers of Greenbelt have them. we have teachers here who are more than teachers of the old fashioned three R's. They are human and lots of fun. They don't fail to laugh at something that the whole class the discussion swerve from the one who is not willing to give problem you may have. They laughg they teachg and We are leaving them but you just beginning to become aware finds amusingg they are willing to let topic a little new and theng there's not you a little help or advice about any they make you enjoy life more. Freshmen, Soph mores, and Juniors are of them. Learn to know them and like them You'd be surprised what you can find in your mwn backyard! June Abigail . I 1 1224 ' Q' R P ' 'ef Ww w ' X fff . W ig?

Sophomores, we lost all our fears Knew we the school and the teachers, Knew we its nooks and its erannies, Knew we its slang and its ways. And our ego distended and grew. Juniors, we calmed, oh, so slightlyg Calmed to a Calmed for we now were the school. So we thought , and we laughed at the seniors. And they smiled with paternal demeanor. state of riot, Seniors we claimed our birth rightg And our egos looked down on the school, And we smiled on the children to follow. And we sat there on high and we watched. And then we left. Left to again become freshmen. Freshmen in life and in college. And again we were timid and awed.

H. S. Calmly ignoring the stares of the onlookers and stepping on an occasional fresh an, he strode str- aight to the senior class room. 'Repent', he said in stentorian to- nes, 'for the day of reckoning is at hand.' Oblivious to the astoni- shed glances cf the class, he uncovered his crystal ball and started prophesying furiously. One of our lordly and noble steno students instantly grabbed her pad and frantically recorded the following di- atribe for posterity. AhaX What's this? I see Anzulovic is organizing a revolution in South America. H mm m. He's just had thirty-six men shot for not having their buttons polished. wen, nerds Fifi la Barkan batting out s new gown with her 1s- ft hand while she struggles furiously with twenty-seven telephones. She's busy so we won't eavesdrop any farther. And here we find coach Cashman swearing profusely at a group of freshmen, attempting to batter them into some semblance of a football team. Dupuy is, of course, drowning out every other available operatic gargle with her beautiful warbling. , Jones, you say? Ah, such a pity. He's at Saint Elizabeth s cut- ting out paper dolls and screaming at the sight of a cube root. Keplinger, the demon of the Steinway, is at Carnegie Hall tripp- ing a light trepsichore, while next door, Kidder is trying to drown her out with some truly hep jive. Well, far off in the distance I see Bensong she's a foreign cor- respondent, cajoling state secrets from any gullible high ranking di- plomat in some God-forsaken segment of the Balkans. There's Mister Harris, annihilating them with the grandeur of his imitations at the new Palace - Vaudeville is back apparently. Rclph, as you all realize, is setting television back ten years or so with his co edy programs. Stouffer is ministering to no end of undyingly grateful heathen in some impossibly far off spot of lower Mongolia. Ah! there's Lee Mellom, wandering through the mountains of Swit- zerland, with his beautiful blue convertible packed to the brim with b auteous Swiss lasses. Lolly is having a glorious time smearing the movie stars with all species of paint. Her aim is to achieve half of Ray Ward's fame on Broadway as the hit dancer and make-up artist. Jack Snyder is busy smashing test tube after test tube trying to brew some synthetic vitamin pills - oh, pardon me, he's knocked off for the day and is making some fudge. Ed. Stewart has just received a commission to paint a mural over the whole of the Empire State Building. Jane Stone is busy looking for a garret in which to starve so she can become a truly great musician. ' Adeline is competing furiously with Fifi in a rival dress shop. However, her success depends wholly upon Forrester's salesmanship. Troy is still looking for a good racket. Here's June Abigail. She's a Power's model with millions cf the adoring play boys dogging at her heels. Andrus is busy traipsing up and down the stage, treading the bo- ards to splinters, m king with magnificent love scenes. Anderson lo- oks on for pointers. Asher and Rau are sweetly telling the girls of the high school to go to heck after losing their seventy-fifth game. Kerst is still trying to learn to skate backwards in spite of her rheu atismn. The roars of the infuriated students almost drowned out the last oneg and as he floated gently from the second floor window, he tucked his crystal ball into his pocket, plucked a rose fr m a passing vine, dusted a foot print from his posterior, and settled into a very small disreputable grease spot on the pavement below. will ' Abigail - her luscious raven tresses to Joy Rexrode.

It will be just like any other dance. Later you said, It doesn't matter to me whether or not I go? But you did go, and when nine o'clock on Friday, April the 30th rolled around you got that awful sinking feeling ---- this was your last Pram, the last time you would be all together as a class ---- you realize how much you are going to miss it all, so you'll always remember this night - your last Junior Prom. Then at last, you arrived. Everything portrayed excitement:- frilly skirts, sweet music, and Oh! yes - tuxedos. Maybe this was your last Program Dance, and you found it nice to be dancing with all your different classmates. The thme just seemed to fly ..... first dance .... . second dance ..... third, fourth, fifth, and then intenmission. The food looked so good, but you wanted to be dignified and not eat too much -- just enough. Back dancing --- you find yourself smiling and saying 'hello' to this one and that one, but never really noticing anything much ex- cept that nYou'd Be So Nice To Come Home Ton never sounded quite so lovely before.

The elementary School pupils bought four jeeps and a motorcycle. We presented our jeeps on May 18, 1945 to the 76th Inf. S i r Class Joe of Fort Meade. The president of the en o , Cashman, spoke o the behalf of the high school students. Captain Lewis Marcy expressed the appreciation of the Army for the cooperation of the pupils that had been given in the selling of war bonds and stamps. Staff Sergeant Earl Burson, U. S. Army, who had been in the commando raid on Dieppe, spoke briefly concerning the morale and fortitude of French, English, and American soldiers. We, the pupils, bought jeeps for the Army. When we ive jeeps it builds up tha morale of the boys on the land, 5 on the sea, and in the air. we should keep trying to sell d the service stamps and bonds because our future depen s upon men. By buying the bonds we show that we are proud to be Americans-we're glad to be able to support those who fight while we study. V Ri ha d s ernon c r s V , E1 il Dani.- , Y Ghz Suurnalism diluh Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Yes, it's the future journalists of America - that is, they will be, if they can learn the difference between news, feature, and editorial styles of writing. Everyone has an individual style of writing. It is the purpose of the Journalism Club to help interested students discover and develop his style. Now we come to the important function of the club - WTHE PIONEERN. In previous years the Pioneer, the school paper, was printed by expert printers. This year the club acquired a mimeograph machine. This method of publication has proven much more interesting since it offers the members of the club a chance for some original work in drawing, setting up the paper, and nu erous other things. The Pioneer staff is very proud of this year's publications. Ray Ward, staff artist, has done numerous clever things on those stencils with his little styli. Editor-in-Chief, Marion Benson, did much to make the paper a success. Her assistants - June Abigail, Feature Editorg James Anzulovic, News Editor, Joe Cashman and Patty Day, Sports Editorsg Doris Asher, Typist, Ray-ward, Art Editorg and Rose Nudo, Advisorg spent many hours on each issue proof-reading, correcting, typing, drawing, and mimeographing before the issue was completed. Martha Likens took things in hand after all was complete to see that everyone received his copy of the paper. Many of our boys in the service receive the school paper each month. Mary Jane Townsend's valuable contributions in the way of Editorials and features have been noted by all. we know the Pioneer will continue through the years, and it is our hope that it will grow bigger and better with the school. V Bramatics Club The Dramatios club under the direction of Miss Younger is one of the really successful organizations of the school. Each year they entertain the public with at least two performances. One of these is the senior class play and this year they choose 'June ladn. It was a roaring sumess just as 'Skidding' was. Jane Stone as president has a helpful staff of officers with Doris Keplinger, June Abigail, and Anne Childress on the list. We've found that they not only produce fine plays, but revise them here and there to fit typical Greenbelt life. One could go on and on about the actors, but perhaps the best we can say in the way of praise is that they are a talented group and deserve a lot of credit. Of course, they have lot of fun and will remember all their lives the practices, dress rehersals, and then finally the real thing. Everyone is nervous - everyone is worried - everyone is dead tired when the curtain first rises. It's well worth the work, though, because all of Greenbelt enjoys and looks forward to the work of the club. 4 XJ-+1-Lf iq T 53W 44455- l MPN ,'. 1 bd 'i ., Y 5 R' I X.

I don't remember if I were officially on the committee or not, but anyway I suggested the name Pylon . I thought of names that I had seen on other school yearbooksg it semmed that they were all symbolic in nat- ure. The word Pylon came into my mind Kprobably due to Smiling Jack and the air raoesl and I liked it. I liked the sound of Pylon and it was packed full of sy- mbolism. When I suggested the name no one seemed to li- ke it because they did not know what 'Pylon' meant. I explained the significance of the word and did my best to persuade the group to accept my idea. In view of the fact that no one gave a competing title, they deoieded to take my suggestion. - Pylon is the name given to towers that mark the turning point of the roll course followed by airplanes in an air roll. The first pylon, however, was a building erected at the entrance of an Egyptain temple. The build ing looked like a truncated pyramid. Steel towers used for supporting telegraph lines are also known as pylons. Its application to two significant objects, markers and doorways, makes nPylonn a fitting name for our annual Larry Childress '40 fliiitzzrzazsg ljnii , '1 1 lui!!! liwfifff X 2 - 'QE:- , ..--ggxssxsssx Bplun btaff EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ...
