lntro uction As days drift by we seldom pause to think of the joy of living, the fun of being young and gay! When we bought hotdogs with everything at the home football games and ordered cokes with chocolate after thrilling basketball games it did not dawn on us that someday we will be leav- ing this youth and will become sober, sturdy, dependable citizens. It is then that we will treasure our Pine Knot of 1942. And so, looking forward to those years, the PINE KNOT STAFF has slaved and slaved to prepare and present a lasting record of the happiest days of our life--- the ones we spent in Grove City High School. Our only desire is that the Pine Knot has lived up to your expectations and that you will be proud of it in times to come. we want you to remember the teachers -for they tried to give you wisdom. Don't forget how swell they could be, even to laughing at your 'corny' jokes, and to 'chaperuining' the dances, sponsoring vari- ous clubs and then how stern they were at times-making you feel so-o-o small. Many years from now how else will you remember how funny some people looked with bangs and the boots that all the 'femmes' simply MUST have - how else will you remember these but to leaf through the yearbook and snicker? Will you look back and chuckle at those long, long sweaters and the POILS just as long? Those lumberj ack shirts and station-wagon coats that both guys and gals donned and the gold and white dinks that the Student Council sold should be remem- bered too. Recall blowing up the lab Cpracticallyl an' making popcorn balls in cooking class - modeling clay in art classes - - - and office practice work and typing. Fun? You betcha! Soon you'l1 be looking back and grinn- ing at the way you used to hurry with your lunch on those warm spring days so that you could walk to school with your Big Moment . May we help you remember those expressive words such as drips , droops , chicken , cad , lousy , and pretty lip , - - - egad and what have you??!! In your memory there should be a special place for the days that everything went honkey-tonk and those days when you were in the dumps and then -- the report cards came out. You'll never forget those absurd diets that the girls tried out -the wrestling matches we always seemed to win - the whoops of laughter at some silly practical joke - the speakers in chapel - Prof Crowther's lectures - dispersal drills - rushing into a class late - coming early in the morning C8:ooj to make up for that morning you slept in a lil, bit - how swell the Sen.or Play came off - gee! there is so much we can't forget - so much we must remember! But there is something special that will always have first place in a lot of memor- ies and that is the coming of Spring with its green grass - tiny pink buds on the trees - blustery winds - your hat rolling down Broad Street - rain that is soft and warm - holding hands or watching others - Pine Knot coming out - Senior autographs - Senior Farewell program in chapel - the serious faces at Baccalaure- ate services - black gowns - springy formals and best suits for the Prom- the yearly prizes given out - and then diplo- mas - more green grass - only it seems more inviting than ever and the longing grows inside you to be outside with the growing things and then - and then you are out!! Past are the fleeting days of Fall with the tumbling leaves and the smell of woodsmoke and the fun of locker room quartets and jokes. Past are the days full of slipping and sliding on the ice and watching the tiny, soft, white snow-flakes drift down as you sit in school - gone so swiftly are the days chucked full of crib- bing, exams, cramming, passing notes, get- ting dates, selling milk and candy at noon - Christmas caroling, - the dances -- all the fun ole Man Winter brings. It's Spring - glorious Spring - but we will always come back - whether its Spring, Winter, or Autumn - back to G. C. H. S. and all that it stands for - maybe this year of 1942 will be relived again and again through the Pine Knot - the Staff sincerely hopes that it can help you with your memories. So here's lots of fun in your dreaming and happy landings - al- ways!!
