HOI-'FSOI I' IER A MISS FEG ENG ONE of the most important sub- jects has been the study of our own language and its literature. For three years we have written, or have tried to write, essays, compositions, book-reports, and correct sentences, with varying degrees of success. Some of us have come to know and appreciate the love- liness of poetry, others have found en- joyment in the Narratives of Dickens and Elliot, while to us all, Shakespeare has become, if not a friend, surely a well-known acquaintance. We are for- tunate in having an excellent English Department, for many of our teachers have traveled through Europe and were often able to give us first-hand descrip- tions and information concerning our assigned verses, stories, and plays. Miss Elizabeth M. Garner, the head of the English Department, has done ISH a great deal to increase our interest in poetry and literature by means of the Senior Literary Society, which is an honorary organization composed of stu- dents vvho achieve high grades in consider good. VVe, as students, rec- junior English. Miss Garner attended Dickinson College, where she received her B. A. and Masters degrees. Miss Walze1', one ol the most valued mem- bers of our faculty, was awarded her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Columbia University. Miss Catherine E. Good, who is also interested in dramatics and the Ilarrisburg Community Theatre, re- ceived her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Coucher College, Columbia University, and New York University. Miss Cer- trude E. Klemm, our class advisor, to whom we wish to extend our deepest thanks, attended Dickinson College and ADMINISTRATION MISS KLEMM - MISS GARMAN - MISS MILLER - MISS GOOD ENG lthaca College, where she received her B. A. and B. S. degrees. Mr. Robert D. lloffsommer, who directs the dra- matics of our school operettas, won his B. A. degree at Dickinson College and Lebanon Valley College. Miss Marie M. Alleman returned to us last year, after a leave of absence which she spent traveling through South America. Miss Alleinan attended Coucher College and Columbia University, where she re- ceived her B. A. and M. A. degrees. Miss Clara C. Baum's B. A. and M. A. degrees were acquired at Wilson Col- lege and Pennsylvania State College. lXIr. George Ilauck realized the urgent need for pilots that will result from the many advances being made in aviation, and last year began a course in pre- Hight training, which he carried on in addition to his regular English classes. The course was also available this year, and it promises to become a ISH valuable part of our high school cur- riculum. Mr. Houck earned his Ph. B. and M. A. degrees at Dickinson College and Columbia University. Miss Edith E. Fegley received her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Irving College. Miss Vir- ginia Miller, besides study abroad, was awarded a B. A. degree for work com- pleted at Lebanon Valley College, the University of Pennsylvania, and Colum- bia University. We wish to thank these members of the faculty for their helpful guidance throughout our English courses. Those who expect to continue their education in colleges and universities will find themselves well equipped for the ad- vanced courses that they will meet. All ol us will someday appreciate the benefits which have been given us through a sound foundation in English. ADMINISTRATION MR. SEABOLD A R. LITTLE - MR. PIIIPPS MII. UNDEIICUFFLER - MR. RUTH SOCIAL TODAY our country is at war, and our fathers and brothers are scattered throughout the world, fighting to pro- tect and preserve a way of lilie that we ognize that knowledge, and the toler- ance that comes with knowledge, will be needed as never before, in the com- ing days ol' peace. For this knowledge, then, we turn to our teachers, upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of preparing us to take our rightful place in the life and government of a free land. This, more than any other, is the work of the Social Studies Department. In our VVorld Survey classes was begun the foundation of our study of the history and people of those coun- tries that contributed to the eventual TUDIES development of our own. During this attended Yale University and the Uni- bia University. hir. Laurence Phipps interesting school events to the local papers, received his B. A. and bl. A. degrees at Uisinus College and Colum- year of study we worked under the kind and helpful guidance of bliss Iosephine Lee Meek, who received her B. A. and N. A. degrees at Syracuse and Columbia Universitiesg Mr. Harry Seabold, who holds a B. A. and M. A. degree from Dickinson College and Franklin and Marshall Collegeg and Mr. Frank G. Roth, whose B. A. and M. A. degrees were earned at Yale University and Columbia University. Our Junior year was devoted, in part, to American History. Mr. Edwin T. ADMINISTRATION MISS HERSHEY - MR. LYNCH - MRS. BOVVMAN - MISS MEEK SOCIAL Underculller, who is also one of the Iiaculty members in charge of reporting versity of Pennsylvania, where he re- ceived his B. A. and M. A. degrees. Mr. John II. Lynch, Ir., was awarded his B. A. and M. A. degrees by Prince- ton University and the University of Pennsylvania. These men will long be remembered by their pupils for the many interesting and lively discussions on current events which were carried on under their supervision, and for the many newspaper articles and edi- torials that soon became a valued part of our school day. Our Senior year was spent in study- ing the problems which confront a democratic nation. In both economies and sociology we were patiently guided by our teachers: Nliss Mary F. Hershey, TUDIES whose I3. A. degree was received at Indiana State Teachers College: Mrs. Myrtle C. Bowman, who also teaches Business Law, was awarded her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Otterbein College and the University of Pennsylvania: and Mr. A. VV. S. Little, who earned his B. A. and NI. A. degrees at Syra- cuse University and Columbia Uni- versity. It has ben through the untiring effort of these men and women that we have gained an insight into the problems and difliculties which we will be called upon to face when the present struggle is Finished, and our country is again at peace. And more than this, they have given us a preparation that will enable us to carry out justly and wisely our part in a people's government. I r I- ADMINISTRATION MISS BECK MISS STAUFFER MATHEMATIC FOB those hoys who are planning to enter the Armed Forces upon gradua- tion, or for those who have already left us, mathematics is one of the most important subjects in their course ol' study. This is especially true for those who are candidates for the army or navy flight programs. Mathematics is not only essential for navigators. but for the pilots of pursuit ships who are dependent entirely upon themselves for their navigation. Those boys who will eventually enter Ofliccr's Training Schools for commissions in either Field Artillery or the Engineering Corps will find that the mathematics learned dur- ing their years at high school will prove invaluable. Not only members ol' the Armed Forces will be brought into con- tact with prohlems involving all types ol' mathematical principles, for those engaged in certain branches of war in- dustries will have an equal need of mathematics. lXIiss Florence E. Beck has endeared herselt to each successive class, and her patience, good humor, and helpful ad- vice has made her one ol' our favorite instructors. Miss Beck is u graduate of Wfellesley College, and holds a B. A. degree. Besides teaching her regular classes, Miss Beck is the advisor for our most Beneficial organization, The Student Council. We are all familiar with the hne work done by this group of our students, and all recognize the fact that a great many of its achieve- ments are due to the expert and efli- cient guidance of Miss Beck. Another ADMINISTRATION MR. HILLER - MR. SCHLOSSER - MR. QUICKEL MAT popular member of our mathematics faculty is Miss Martha I. Stauffer, who received her B. A. degree at Swarthmore College. Although the courses are ac- knowledged as being difhcult, Miss Staulifefs pupils invariably leave with a very thorough understanding of the various phases of her subject. Mr. C. H. Quickel, who attended Gettysburg College with a B. S. degree, is an en- thusiastic hunter and fisherman. He carries his hobby further by acting as one of the counsellors of the ever- popular Rifle Club, an organization which attracts a large number of the student body for healthful and instruc- tive after-school activity. Very few of us need to be introduced to Mr. Edward N. Schlosser, whose B. A. degree was HEMATICS awarded at Juniata College. He has the rare and appreciated gift of making mathematics an enjoyable subject. Mr. I. Edward Hiller, who received his B. S. degree at VVillia1nson Trade School, and Lebanon Valley College, has long been valued as an instructor of that meth- ematics which relates to work done in the shop. This year, Mr. Hiller has taken on a new service which the war made of the utmost importance. This is the Math Club for Student Nurses which aims to give basic train- ing. Today, when many girls are plan- ning to enter this vital, wartime service, we wish to thank lVIr. Hiller for or- ganizing a worthwhile club which will prove to be of untold benefit to our future nurses. ADMINISTRATIUN MR. NEIGH - MR. TROUTMAN - MR. SHREINER - MR. COBAUGH V 0 C A T I 0 N A L 'l'llE john llarris Vocational Dc- partment always has a large enrollment, but ever since the xvar began, and we realized even more the vital importance that all kinds ol' manual work has in the war efliort, the number of boys studying in the shops has greatly in- creased. Through the many positions available in war plants with the help of a small amount of training, we have come to realize what an excellent type of preparation the school is offering in the way of vocational subjects. Our shops are reputed to be among the best of their kind in the state, and up-to-date equipment keeps them forever in the forefront. All the credit is due to the well- trained and competent vocational fac- ulty members who have converted their subjects into training grounds For vital wartime occupations. hir. Rall' L. Neigh deserves special credit for the time and effort he spends each year to make our year books the beautiful editions that they are. This year it has been par- ticularly difficult because of the many shortages and priorities that were en- countered on every hand when he at- tempted to gather materials for these volumes. How he has successfully over- come these difficulties is evident. Mr. Neigh is a graduate of Allegheny Col- lege and Grove City College. Besides teaching in our print shop, he acts as stage manager for our plays and oper- ettas. Our teacher of auto mechanics, Mr. Carroll E. Harclerode, was gradu- ated from Pennsylvania State College, ADMINISTRATION MR. HARCLERODE - MR. TAGGART - MR. WEAVER V 0 C A T I 0 N A L Lebanon Valley College. and the Cen- eral lllotor Institute of Technology. Mr. Ilarry B. Shreiner, who attended Pennsylvania State College, has been directing the construction of various products for the use of the American Red C ross. These include game tables, playing boards, and many of the things that are so badly needed in the hos- pitals and rehabilitation centers at home and overseas. Our most expert electri- cian, lX'lr. VVillard T. Taggart, is a graduate of Bliss Electrical School, the Columbia School of Drafting, and Pennsylvania State College. He is greatly responsible for the aroused in- terest in electricity that is felt by the vocational students at the present time, and his course is sure to lead to steady positions after graduation. Mr. Harry B. Cobaugh has been doing a great deal toward the war egort during the past few years. He was responsible for the drawing up of many of the blue- prints that were used in building and repair work at the Middletown Air Depot. hir. Cobaugh attended Penn- sylvania State College and Lebanon Valley College where he received his B. S. degree. hir. Elvin K. Troutinan was awarded his B. S. degree at Millers- ville State Teachers College, and the University of Pennsylvania. Both he and Mr. Paul W. Weaver, who at- tended Williamsori Trade School and Pennsylvania State College, have been arranging their necessary programs to prove of value in our present needs. The boys who are pursuing the voca- tional eourse today are not only pre- paring themselves for a lifelong occupa- tion, but are also aiding in the war effort. ADMINIS'l'RA'l'ION MR. GOODYEAR MISS BAILETS L N A E 'lil Ili importance of language is be- coming more obvious every day. Our Allies speak many tongues and dialects, as do our enemies. When war was de- clared, we were amazed to learn how few people in America could read or speak any of the languages of the Far East. The Arnw Air Forces long ago realized the need for Spanish, and be- fore the outbreak of war made the quick training of pilots a necessity, Spanish was included in their course of study. Wlmciu we consider that twenty of our sister republics speak one language, we can see how beneficial a knowledge of that language could be for all of us. The good neighbor policy is continually stressed in our newspapers and periodi- cals, but how can we be truly good neighbors unless we can understand one another: our speech, literature. cus- toms, history and national observances? Vllhen we can open a book or magazine from another land and read. no matter how falteringly, about the things that are of interest to those people, things that are basically alike all over the world, that country is no longer strange to us, and we begin to really understand their interests and ideas. Our Spanish Department is under the excellent supervision of Miss lVlary- Louise Bailets, A. B., who attended Goucher College, Bucknell University, and the University of Guadalajara, and Mr. Earl F. VVeller, whose B. Sc. and M. A. degrees were awarded at Eliza- bethtown College and the University of Mexico. Under their guidance, those ADMINISTRATIUN l MISS BGVVERS - MR.

Latin is the recognized foundation for all of the romance languages, and an ex' cellent course of study is given by Miss Iessie C. Bowers and Miss Virginia Wzitts, both of whom won their B. A. and M. A. degrees at Dickinson College and Columbia University. Miss Watts also teaches French and English, prov- ing her versatility. We were grateful for our Latin when we began the study UAGE ol modern languages, and owe a debt of gratitude to those teachers who pre- sented it in such an interesting .1nanner. Mr. Frank ll. Coodyear, whose B. A. and M. Ed. degrees were acquired at Dickinson College and Pennsylvania State College, is again teaching French, in addition to his position as Dean of Men. Together with Miss VVatts, he is instrumental in arousing interest in what has always been one of the most popular of modern languages. The only road to lasting peace is that one which is based on complete understanding, both of our friends and our enemies. The only way for us to find that road, and having found it keep it, is by learning and applying the key to all understanding: the lan- guages of the people. ADMINISTRATION MRS. ENIANUEL - MISS ILLGEN - MISS MARTIN - MR. REISINGER S P IN addition to the regular academic and commercial studies, John Ilarris is noted for its excellent special depart- ments. VVe are given opportunities to become acquainted with the cultural side ol' public education under the very expert guidance of these members ol' our faculty. Our student library is one of the most valuable services given to us by the school. We would soon realize its im- portance and learn to appreciate it even more if it were necessary for us to obtain all of our literary and reference material, often over-night assignments from the public library. Each year many of the newest books, both Hc- tion and nonfiction, are added to its collection, and consequently the library is continually becoming of greater ECIALS worth. Miss Ruth hlay Koons, our competent librarian, received her B. A. degree at Ilood College, and her B. S. degree in Library Science at Columbia University. Besides caring for all the administrative work connected with a library of this size, she is the advisor and instructor ol' the Library club. This year we wish to welcome a new member of our faculty, Miss Dorothea Virginia Ilgcn, who in the short time she has been with us has won the re- spect of all of her art students. lX'liss Ilgen, with a B. F. A. degree, received her training at Syracuse University, the University of Pennsylvania, State Col' lege, and the University of Mexico.

CIALS Mrs. Emanuel acquired her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Lebanon Valley Col- lege and Pennsylvania State College. She is in charge of our senior plays, all of which are very successful. For the past three years she has also been the advisor for the John Harris branch of the National Thespian Society. One of our most popular courses is Home Economics. This course is ably taught by Miss Dorothy Martin and Miss Sally Ann Miller. Miss Martin who graduated from Battle Creek Col- lege with a B. S. degree, besides teach- ing sewing, has the responsibility of costuming our school plays and oper- ettas. Miss Miller is a graduate of In- diana State Teachers College where she received her B.

RAILING COMMERCIAL TI IE field ol' business has long been the realization of success for those who were interested in its many aspects. Today, various phases have been added to business so that almost anyone can find a personal interest in commercial work ol' one type or another. However, the importance ol' eliicient business peo- ple is unparalleled even now in a time ol' great demand for these workers. Cer- tainly anyone who has majored in com- mercial work at John Harris has com- pleted his studies with a broader knowl- edge and understanding of business bc- cause ol' the interesting and completely modern manner in which the courses are presented. Experience is of basic importance to obtain good results in tl1e teaching of commercial work, and two of our fac- ulty members who have been sending well-trained ollice workers, especially secretaries, into the business world are Mr. Edgar E. Keller and Miss Anna E. Read. Mr. Keller is important as treas- urer of all school finances. He attended Rochester Business Institute and the VVharton Extension School. Miss Read graduated at Drexel Institute and also specialized in secretarial courses at Co- lumbia University. Students remember her as demanding perfection-perfection for which they are always later grate- ful. Miss M.

The task is the turning out of more workers and hettcr workers in a shorter time than in previous years. Gui' teachers are a group of men and women who are aware ol' their responsibility: and they intend to make not only good husiness people of their pupils, but also to send out young men and women hetter pre- pared to face a chaotic world. ADMINISTRATION p- ' NIR. GRAYBILL BUNDERMAN - NIR. SAUL SCIENCE FOR the past three years many of us have spent part of our school days trying to penetrate the deep and awful mysteries of science. In our study of biology we pondered over strange rc- mains immersed in jars of alcohol, and later tried to grasp something from our subjects by dissecting the aforemen- tioned remains. In our physics and chemistry we divided our time between problems involving mathematics that seemed to be insolvable, and laboratory work in which our Bunsen-burners seemed to delight in playing strange ranks at a crucial moment, usually when both hands were full of test tubes and some strange looking mixture was trying to reach the boiling point. De- spite our almost daily difhculties, many of us have developed scientific interests that may lead us into the fields of medicine, meteorology, electricity, and the countless branches of chemistry. After the war, unbelievable advances are sure to be made in all kinds of scientific work, especially in the treat- ment and prevention of disease, and in the wonderful varieties of substitutes lior almost every type of goods, all the work of our countryls chemists. The members of the faculty who teach our scientific subjects are familiar to all of us, and are among the most popular instructors in Iohn Harris. hir. VValter Bunderman has always been admired for his seemingly endless pa- tience, and the helpful and under- standing attitude with which be guides his students through a thorough and comprehensive course in chemistry. hir. Bunderman has B. A., M. A., and Ph. D. degrees and has studied at ADMINISTRATION MR. ENGLISH - MR. SNYDER - MR. FAUST SCI Lebanon Valley College. Columbia University, and Harvard University. Another of our excellent chemistry teachers is hir. Bertram XV. Saul, one of those faculty members who has been with us for many years. Ile was awarded his B. A. at Otterbein College but also attended Columbia University. hair. W. H. Craybill, with B. A. and M. A. degrees, attended Susquehanna University and the University of Pitts- burgh. He has gained the appreciation of all the student body through his work on the athletic council. Together with our new instructor, Mr. Wayfne B. English, who was awarded his B. A. degree at Mansfield State Teachers College and the University of Pitts- burgh, he instructs the academic pupils in the study of biology. It is due to the efforts of these two men that our NCE course in living things is the excellent one that it has proven to bc. The oflice of Athletic Director was filled last year by Mr. Charles F. Snyder, who has been doing a splendid piece of work for the past two seasons. hir. Snyder attended Gettysburg College, where he received his B. S. and M. S. degrees. His weather predictions made with the help of his trusty barograph have become an important subject for discussion on every important outdoor occasion demanding clear skies. CThey aren't always wrongll Another compe- tent physics instructor is Mr. Paul B. Faust, whose B. S. and M. A. degrees were awarded at Shippensburg State Teachers College and Susquehanna University. It is to these men that we wish to extend our deepest appreciation for their many efforts in our behalf. ADMINISTRATIUN l An.. - MISS 13.-XLIMGARDNER MISS KERESTES HEALTH TODAY, we are more than ever aware of the untold importance of health to everonc of us. This is not only true to our hoys, who must he physically strong and lit in order to enter the armed forces. but also for those ol us who will remain at home, in war work, ollice positions, and any other forms of employment. All of our school sports and activities are designed to give us those American qualities of stamina, alertness, quick decisions, and sportsmanship which are always asso- ciated with our country's youth, and which are serving us in such good stead at the present time. It has been proven during the past two years of war that it is the boy who has taken part in sports requiring split-second judgment and complete coordination who is the hest material for the army and navy pilot training programs, for oflicefs training schools, and for many other important lields of wartime service. Mr. llarry F. Rote attended Gettys- burg College and Lehigh University where he received his B. ,-X. degree. hir. Rote is one man on our faculty who could not easily he replaced. It has been through his expert guidance throughout many years, as well as by his own patience and example, that he has sent our teams to victory over many of their opponents. Mr. Paul Thomas, who was awarded his Master of Arts degree at Columbia University, is our other boys' instructor in physical edu- cation and has come to be deeply valued ADMINISTRATION MR. ROTE MR. THOMAS HEALTH and appreciate during the years he has spent with us. Another vital part of our physical education program is the American Red Cross First Aid course offered by our hygiene instructors. Nothing can he of greater importance than having a thorough, hasic knowledge of what to do in any of the many emergencies of sickness or accident requiring the prac- tice of Hrst aid. We are glad that our school is one of those that offer both the standard and advanced courses as a regular part of our study program. Miss Violet Baumgardner and Miss Anna Kerestes have long ago won the friendship and respect of all our girls. Through volleyball, Held hockey, bad- minton, and archery, both in gym periods and in the after-school tourna- ments they do a great deal to keep their pupils mentally alert and physi- cally fit. Miss Kerestes, who came to john llarris three years ago, was awarded her B. S. degree at West Chester Teachers College. She has proven herself to be an excellent teacher through her hygiene courses which are thorough and comprehensive. Miss Baumgardner, who attended Posse Nissen School and Pennsylvania State College, has long been one of our favorite teachers. Taken as a whole, our physical education department is one of the most beneilcial and valuable in our curriculum. - ---1.1-11,1 --111--ii..--..., - Q--liil-.-1.1.14 - -l1 f4 . '-':-'- , .

THE GRADUATES CLASS HISTORY IJESPITE the condition of the weather, for as you all lanow it was not the brightest day of the year, we approached john Harris for the hrst time with a sense of anxiety and curiosity. YV ho would be our teachers? XVould our course of study be as difficult as propa- ganda had rumored it? Would we ever be able to find our way about in that huge expanse of masonry? These were just a few of the mys- teries that demanded a solution as we plodded slowly up that famous hill. Wie at least had the satisfac- tion of ltnowing that we, at last, were young peoplei' and no longer children XVith that pleasant thought in mind, we were ready and willing to face anything that high school might hold for us. High school football, although played the same, had a much greater fascination for us. Wie are proud to remember that it was a successful year because we de- feated VVilliam Penn, our rivals of long standing. Our dramatic achievements of that year were the play Big-Hearted Herbert, and the opera, Iolmztlze. Even as lowly sophomores we were invited to take part, but, as usual, our representa- tion was comparatively small. A note of seriousness perma- nently interrupted the carefree gaicty of our school life when, on the eighth day of December, we were called together to hear the president request Congress for a declaration of war. It will always remain in our memories because we realize that we were among the first young people ever to hear the actual words that embarked their country on so serious a conflict. Upon our return to school the next autumn, we were faced with those changes that are typical of war-time. Already, some of our boys, wanting to do their share, had joined the forces against our newly acquired enemy. The entire outlook of the students and teachers had changed. The atmosphere was no longer so carefree but was rather heavy with fear, suspense, and anxiety. Everything was done with a purpose and aimed toward one goal: Victory. A victory that would enable us to retain those freedoms that we had so long taken for granted. All of the changes were not so serious, though, for it was at this time that we were joined by that splendid class from Penbroolc. Then, too, our lives were no longer endangered by the drivers of 'ijalopiesf' who had to resort to old-fashioned shoe leather for the duration. Wie didnyt really mind '1'HI'1GRADL'A'l'ES for that was one way for ns to help on the home front. It was this year that we were organized as a class and were al- lowed to malte plans for that great year in our lives when we would be seniors. XXI- were quite disap- pointed when, for the lirst time in ten years, we were defeated by XVilliam Penn, but we found con- solation in the tremendous success of the two dramatic productions for the year: Three Lire Ghosts and Pilmfore. Wie are more than proud to note the large number from our dents of Harris High. class who toolt part in those. The grand iinale to that wonder- ful year was the long loolaed for- ward to Junior Prom. It was all that we had hoped it to be and we lvnew that our patience had been rewarded. From that evening we began to feel that our Junior year was swiftly drawing to a close but it gave us a glorious feeling to be able to looli forward to the day when we would at last be seniors. The great day hnally dawned when we entered the building for our last year. Again we saw the changes that had taken place dur- ing those summer months. Our C1355 IUUIITS XYCTC Sliolflilllgly TJZTTC of boys and those who did return were eagerly loolting toward the day when they too would be light- ing tor their country. The halls were hardly recognizable. They were so empty compared with other years, for not only were our away, but also a large number of the remaining students were en- gaged in work that would free others for the services. Ufficers were elected immedi- ately and we began to accomplish those taslgs which faced us as sen- iors. Then we got a chance to rise and shine for we were about to present Sleidtliug as our annual play. It was to be recorded in the boolc of memories as a complete success for the school. Not to be forgotten, was the breathtalaing victory the team won for us on that our last Thanksgiving day as stu- Now this bit of reminiscing must be brought to a close, for we have to publish the Pioneer earlier than is customary. To be sure, there will be other wonderful mem- ories to record before the end of the year, but we shall have to be satisfied to have each lceep his or her own tuclced away in the baela of the mind to be taken out at some future date. VVe have no idea what these next few months will hold for us, but we are confident that they will never be forgotten. As we leave john llarris we shall enter a world that is crying for peace and long after we have won that peace we shall remember our school days. THE GRADUATES CLASS PROPHECY YES, old Father TiIl1C still wallts the road of life. And we wallt on the same road with him, blind and uncertain of the future. but led on and inspired by our hopes, our ambitions and our dreams of the future. XVe cannot foresee what this road holds for us as he can, but we do ltnow that it will be long and difficult with many obstacles to overcome. Our lirst step upon this road is our graduation Present at this graduation are many spectators. One of these, unseen but inevitably there, is Father Time. As he watches us proudly receive our di- plomas, he sees us not as inexpe- rienced youths full of hope, but as men and women with our dreams fulfilled. As the curtain of time closes upon this scene of our youth, this old gentleman sees it reopen presenting another act in this drama of life. Isle sees a lean, lank fellow.

He sees our future and knows of the hardships to be overcome and of the taslcs yet to be accomplished. But he realizes that we are a determined though inex- perienced youth, and that with our hopes and ambitions, we will travel the road of life, perhaps not easily and smoothly, but with an unde- featable spirit and a deep-rooted courage. So old Eather Time would say to us, Cherish your dreams and your idealsg meet the trials of life with courage, and prove yourselves worthy of this rich life which Cod has bestowed upon you.

The hantl is practically as olcl as the school itself, having heen formed in l926. lt has lbcen prominent in civic as well as school affairs, antl an annual event is its partici- pation in the Commemoratirmn EX- ercises at the grave of .lohn llarris in River Parlt. The hancl also talves part in many citv ancl patri- otic paratlcs. The hancl is macle up of two units-the marching hand and the concert hancl-A-hotli have time rec- ortls anal have clone much in sup- plying the musical needs of our school. XVC are proucl of the snappy' appearance ancl clrills of our well-groomecl, ninety-piece marching hand, which furnishes the music and supplies much of 124 JOHN HARRIS BAND the color anal school spirit for loothall games and other outdoor events. The concert hand is se- lected from the marching band and plays for many school entertain- ments. In l94O, when the State Forensic and Music League con- tests were held in Harrisburg, the John llarris concert hancl was awartlecl the championship for having the finest high school band in Pennsylvania. Nr. Ulna F. Goodall has been in charge of the hand since it was organized ancl to his untiring egorts and excellent leadership, the John Ilarris High School Band owes its success. ORGANIZATIUNS JOHN HARRIS ORCHESTRA THE john Harris orchestra con- sists of approximately fifty mem- bers. It is comprised of many talented musicians, someof whom have won top honors in the State and National Forensic Music Con- tests. The orchestra itself is well- lcnown throughout Pennsylvania, having placed in several music contests in this area in past years. This organization plays an im- portant part in the production of the school operettas. In the past few years its has accompanied the Gilbert and Sullivan opera pres- entations of The Pirates of Pen- zancef, Iolanthe,', H, M. S Pinaforef' and many others. lts student conductor this year is Raymond Caton, an outstanding member of the Iunior Class, who has done excellent work and shows promise of a great musical future. His untiring efforts in leading the orchestra in Mr. Goodallis absence and in concerts have proved very valuable and profitable both to him and to the orchestra members. He has thus gained experience for himself, and also has shared his knowledge and talent with all his associates in the orchestra. All of the credit deserving of so fine an organization goes to the director, Mr. Goodall, who pa- tiently rehearses the organization and when it comes time for due recognition, modestly steps aside to give credit to the musicians and the students rather than accept praise for his inspiring help. ORGANIZATIONS TI IIS year a number of school activities have been affected by the war, and so it is with our john Harris Choir. In the earlier part ol' the school term the choir sang for the dedication of the new Dau- phin County Court House and gave a program for the Dauphin County jail. To. Mr. Reisinger, director ol the choir, credit is due for introduc- ing several new and inspiring foot- ball songs. These songs which were composed by various members ol' the choir and introduced in the assemblies, became quite popular at the football games. It was with much regret that the choir members gave their linal fare- well to A. Leon Reisinger. It did not seem possible for the Choir to 126 JOHN HARRIS CHOIR lose himg nor had anyone given the matter much thought. But it hap- penedg for on January 6, Nlr. Reisinger was inducted in the United States Navy The ollicers of the choir in- cluded: the President. Karl Petersg Secretary, Gene Cillmore: Treas- urer, jack Fasnacht. The choir was accompanied by Alma Cham- bers and Marion Kirli was the assistant. Our thanlis go to Mrs. Marla Miller, Mrs. Normile, and Mr. Goodall who helped to keep the choir together during the absence of our director.

Big Charley Hart put the Pioneers in the scoring position by recovering a Columbia fumble. This set the stage for Karl Peters' first touchdown. Harris scoring in every period with Peters leading the attack between superior blocking by Engle, Cleckner, and Trea, gave a promise of future greatness. Columbia making frantic efforts, drove 77 yards for a score in the sec- ond quarter. just to make sure that the game would end in a certain victory, the hard-hitting Peters slammed his way through the center of the line for 7 yards and a score. At this point the Harris Reserves took over with George Rote scoring the fifth and final touchdown. IOII N HARRIS-33 LEBANON-O John Harris High School won a decisive 33 to 0 victory over the highly praised Lebanon and then it's YEA TEAM! F I G H T! FIGHT! FIGHT! High School team before nearly 4,000 fans, putting itself into the winning column of the Big Fifteen Conference. The Pioneers once again overpowered a supposedly superior team. John Harris' first drive of 55 yards was com- pleted when Peters tossed a pass to Hart in the end zone. Bill Baum made one of his three successful placements for the extra point. Later in the same period, Peters again passed to Hart who ran the remaining twenty yards to score. Repelling a serious threat in the second period, when Bill Livingston recovered a Leb- anon fumble, Gerry Bachman scooted around left-end for the third touchdown of the game. Again in the third period, a plunge by Peters made the fourth touchdown. The game ended with young Rote passing to Harry Hafer for the Final tally.

Spec- tacular plays were numerous throughout, and because of the wide-open brand of football ex- hibited by both teams, it was anyoneis victory up to the sound of the gun. john Harris with comparative ease walked off the field at the end of the first half with a 13 to O lead, but this appeared to be insulhcient as Bethlehem quickly started the third quarter with a 72-yard drive ending in a score, also making good the extra point. Despite this quick Bethlehem rally, Harris socked back with another score when Gerry Bachman skirted the right-end for the all-impor- tant six-pointer. Right after this Harris made its unforgetable goal line stand, bracing on the four-yard line to repel Bethlehem's desperate attempt to score. Standing out in the line was Hart's scintillat- ing play at end matched with Trea's starred 151 ATHLETICS tackle. ln the backfield because of Bachman's shifty runs with George Rote gaining on spinner plays and Karl Peters' ower-driving plunges, Harris had to come out victorious. JOHN HARRIS-28 CATHOLIC HIGH-7 Although trailing at half-time by a 7-6 score, the powerful john Harris eleven literally rode roughshod over the smaller Catholic High team. The first half was marred by much fumbling on the part of Ilarris due to over-anxiety. With the score 7-0 against them, Harris scored at the very ending of the second period with Peters going over from the 3-yard line. As the 'second half started, Harris without a doubt that it had a fine team. With no let-up, Harris, because of superb blocking bv Trea, Engle, Cleckner, and Peters, cleared the paths for Bachman, who skirted the repeatedly to set the stage for the second down on a march of 61 yards, Baum the extra point. This was only the beginning, for the Pioneers scored two more touchdowns and a safety. On a deceptive play, Dick Trea, a tackle, went over from the 4-yard line to end the . George Prote played well along with Bowers, a sophomore, who gave great for future games. 101 IN I IARRIS-6 YORK-0 In a downpour of rain, john Harris undefeated by pounding out a touchdown in the last quarter. This left Iohn Harris sole possessor of first place in the i'Big Fifteen Conference. The game was mostly a duel with Baum rating as the best in the conference, coming out the winner. In the second period, Bachman, taking a lateral from Peters, ran to York's 18- yard line but this drive fell short on the 9. With Peters spinning through the York line with an arousing pass to Hart, husky left end, the Pio- neers began looking goalward. Marching down I .,l.
