Qnlfenia THIS IS MY SCHOOL HE students of Grove City High School owe to the Board of Education the deepest appreciation for the high type of instruction and training offered in the Grove City schools. The finest men in the community are members of the board and, in cooperation with Superintendent of Schools, Dr. H. W. Traister, decide the desiinies and policies of the entire school. THESE ARE MY FRIENDS Being a senior of Grove City High School is an exacting task, but any member of the senior class will assure you that the rewards are well Worth the efforts exerted in heading the Various committees, offices, clubs, and publi- cations. It is our responsibility to uphold the traditions, ideals and rules of our alma mater, thus giving them that touch of sophistication and authority which makes a senior, a senior. It is to you, underclassmen, that we extend our hand and say, good luck and more power to you. THESE ARE MY PRIVILEGES A Grove City student need not bury himself irretrievably in English Lit. or Trig, but can lay aside his horned rims to project himself into one or any number of activities. Whether he chews pencils over publications, putters use- fully about the stage, Warbles in the chorus, or pounds a gavel on committees, the result is not only various pins and trophies, but also valuable experience and a satisfying sense of achievement. THESE THINGS MAKE LIFE PLEASANT Grove City High has forged ahead to the top through active participation in the major sports, football and basketball. Eagle gridders and cage men develop keen sense of competition and sportsmanship. Through the able guidance of our sports mentors, the Eagles acquire the highest of moral and physical standards in addition to self-confidence. THESE ARE MY BUDDIES Many changes have taken place in the senior class of Old Grove City Hi as well as in the community, since this fourth year of war has begun. Many of the fellows have left their classes and jobs in favor of a position in the armed forces. It is to them we set aside this section of the yearbook and to them We take off our hats and say, Good Luck Boys and God Bless You. 5

lTl-l each day filled to capacity with activities, classes, dates, etc., we never stopped to realize that these four years spent in G. C. H. S. are the best years of our lives. Yes, you bet they are, and how else can you recall those pleasant memories than by looking through your old PINE KNOT. lt is with this idea in mind that we present this lasting record of your school days. Our school . . . although it may not have all the modern conveniences of some schools, we are justly proud of the red brick building in the middle of the block. lt is within this building that we prepare ourselves for the jobs we must do in the outside world. Of all the people associated with the school perhaps the most important are the teachers. Remember how they used to help us with our problems, sponsor clubs, and help put our jokes across? Yes, how can you forget them ethey are our friends and we really appreciate their help and kindness. Our friends . . . remember how Wilbur used to mix everything available in the chemistry lab in a test tube and still not get hurtg l-larve's witty remarks: Badge was kidded in trig class. Fun? That's for sure. Looking back on our friends brings pleasant memories hard to forget. Qur privileges . . . yes, club meetings were sure fun. Smitty's witty stories, Miss Waterman's sternness. However, many worthwhile things were gained by these meetings which we can't forget. Gur pleasures . . . football games and pep meetings' basketball games which we didn't win the title grid game which we lost and how hard the boys fought, too. All memories unforgetable. Our buddies . . . these days are witnessing many changes and the senior class of G. C. H. S. has noticed this greatly. Senior fellows now in khaki, blue, or Marine green, instead of a cap and gown. These same fellows who used to fight on the gridiron or hardwood are now fighting on the unbeatable United Nations team. All these fellows and their mighty deeds will be remembered forever. Swinging hips and rolling eyes That's Wilbur Paxton in disguise. 4
