The 1943 Mirage The story of the STUDENTS AT LANCAS- TER AS THEY LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE, AND PREPARE FOR THE READJUSTMENT AFTER THE WAR. STUDENTS PREPARING TO BE LEADERS TOMORROW. PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE For four years we, the members of this year’s graduating class, have studied, taken the responsibility for club activities, and participated in the social life of the school. Through work and play we have tried to develop the ability and the courage to take our places in society. Now, having completed our prep- aration for the future, we echo Edwin Markham’s words: THE 1943 ‘T laugh and stretch my hands to the world ahead. Come on: I am ready for you.” J MIRAGE Our free American school does not exist for itself but for each of us. We need not lose our- selves in the crowd; we have every opportunity to find ourselves and to discover how we can most happily serve our country and the world. Tomorrow’s leaders are in the making; here. Our war effort has been unified by the move- ment called the Victory Corps. Every attempt we make to adjust our school program to pre- sent needs constitutes Victory Corps work. WORKING TOWARDS PEACE In the past few months our coffee, sugar, gasoline, and tires have been rationed. In putting this year’s book together the Staff has tried not to ration your laughter or dim out your memories of the friendships you’ve enjoyed, and of the pleasant times you’ve had at good old L. H. S. DEDICATED: TO A MAN OF IDEALS TO AN ABLE TEACHER and a real friend, George A. Neff, whose death on January 13 greatly saddened our school. We honor his memory. George A. Neff served as a teacher in the Lancaster Public Schools for 21 years. From the standpoint of length of service, he was one of the oldest teachers in the school system. Mr. Neff was a skillful teacher whose success was due to sev- eral distinctive qualities. He had an inquiring, analytical mind. Before all else, he sought the truth, and the truth in his teaching field of science comes only through the careful and logical deve- lopment of ideas. His manner of presentation induced his students to think. Many of his former students have appreciatively said. Mr. Neff certainly made us think.” Mr. Neff was a skillful teacher, not alone because of rare native ability, but because his heart and soul were in his work. The teaching profession was his chief interest. If Mr. Neff had a fault, it was his unusual devotion to his work. He would frequently refuse to participate in social functions because (as he would say) I have school work to do.” He displayed a genuine interest in his students, and he could be seen frequently, after school hours, conferring with them about class work. His pupils loved and respected him because he was well-informed, sincere, honest, and always ready to help those who needed it. In addition to his ability as a teacher, Mr. Neff possessed the qualities of dependability, firmness, and understanding of adminis- trative problems which enabled him to serve capably for the past eight years as assistant principal of the high school. When he was assigned a task ho would perform his duty to the best of his ability. He was an invaluable assistant when athletic contests were held; many will remember seeing him at the ticket window. For many years he served as adviser to the Mirage staff. Alumni of Lancaster High School will long cherish ownership of the school annual for which Mr. Neff was responsible. Mr. Neff was a loyal friend, and those who merited his close friendship valued it highly. With the passing of Mr. Neff, Lancaster has lost a citizen who wielded a tremendous influence for good on the youth of this city. He will be missed greatly, but those who knew him well will cherish the memory of a valuable and pleasant association. THE CLASSES Certain ideals and traditions mark the indi- viduality of our school. For four years these ideals and traditions direct a major part of each student’s life, and he emerges a representative of Lancaster High School. The classes have lost several of their mem- bers, whose families have moved elsewhere to do defense work, but many more recruits than usual have come this year from other places to swell our ranks and to influence and be influenced by our school. Jim Nye President Carl Raymond Vice-President Marilyn Hummel — Treasurer Mary Anne Spencer Secretary CLASS OF 1943 The senior year is the most thrilling: and im- portant of our high school careers, for it is the year of proms and plays and class rings and, final- ly, graduation. It is a year of friendships and fun, of working and wondering and planning. Our senior year will not soon be forgotten as we meet the challenge of tomorrow.

It brings to mind our first day at Lancaster High School; and we remember the glistening walls and shiny floors which greeted us. Of course, they remained so fresh and new for only a few short weeks. We, the class of 1943, immediately ac- quired our new title freshmen, and began to look forward to our four long years of trudging along the path of learning. Regardless of our childish mistakes and misguided ideas, we began our daily course, amazed and bewildered. After a prolonged length of time, we assembled and chose as our leaders: Rod Bradford, president; Eddie Friedman, vice-president; Esta Rader, secretary; and Eldora Bickel, treasurer. A wiener roast at Keniand Farm, November 1, turned out to be a great success. Mid-year exams came all too soon and were endured with a great deal of fuss and clamor from which everyone emerged with but slight damage. From then on, time fairly flew and the date of June 7 arrived a final day of rejoicing for our freshman year. September 3, 1940, found us once again beginning our daily routine of school life, but this time as sophomores. Our heads were held a trifle higher, and we rather looked down upon the new freshman class. On October 29 we elected our class officers: Judd Hauenstein, president; Jean Stein, vice-president; Betty Lou Kneller, secretary; and Katherine Kerr, treasurer. Under their guidance, we were directed through many eventful days. We chose October 31 as the date for our sophomore wiener roast. It seemed as if weiner roasts were becoming our strongest weakness. June 6 marked the abrupt ending of our second school year, at which time we rose to a higher form of life and became upper classmen. Our junior year began September 6, 1941. We played our role as juniors calmly but proudly. As our officers we elected Jud Hauenstein, president; Paul Markwood, vice- president; James Nye, secretary; and Mary Anne Spencer, treasurer. On November 14 our Lancaster High School football team won the Central Ohio League championship at the homecoming game. At this game our junior class was well represented by Jean Stein as junior attendant to the Queen. Also, as we gaze backward, the date of December 7, 1941, looms perilousy in our minds as a blot in our history. This date marks the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and later the United States declaration of war on Japan. Cheerfully we continued our studies, however, and on April 24 the junior play Seventeen” was presented. This production, directed by Mr. Johnson, proved to be very successful. May 8 marked a highlight in our social affairs the junior prom. This was followed shortly by the junior-senior banquet on May 29. June 5 closed another memorable and jolly school year. September 8 again approached, and another year sprang up before us. As this day appeared, we felt gloomy because we could see the end of our happy trail as we hurried ahead. CLASS H I S T O R Y After careful consideration, we selected the following as ofTicers of our senior class: James Nye, president; Carl Raymond, vice-president; Mary Anne Spencer, secretary: and Marilyn Hummel, treasurer. Jean Stein was favcred to reign as the homecoming queen this year. She was attended by Mary Anne Spencer from the senior class. The senior play June Mad, presented on February 11, was well received. It was directed by Miss Gesling. Because of the necessity of rationing, school was dismissed more than usual to the gleeful appreciation of the students. The senior class was greatly shocked at the sudden death of one of our best- loved teachers, Mr. NefT, who passed away on January 13, 1343. Events moved swiftly by, leaving us to look forward with sad perplexity to the end of our journey. The junior prom on May 7 and class night and the second annual senior class picnic on May 26 were enjoyed by all. The junior-senior banquet and the senior ball on May 28 added much sparkle to our departing year also. These were soon followed by the baccalaureate service. May 30, and the commencement exercises, June 3, which brought our final steps to the desired goal. So it is with deep regret and a fond embrace of our memories, that we bid farewell to Lancaster High School and turn our faces proudly forward into the light of a challenging future. Norma Eads CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class, of 1943. upon full realization that it can’t go on forever, and that we, the Senior Class of all senior classes, must pass beyond this institu- tion of higher learning, do hereby testify, being of sound mind, or as nearly so as possible, and declare this our last Will and Testament, and dispose of all our valuable property in the following manner: Article I: To the faculty we bequeath our sincerest thanks and appreciation for the patient understanding they have had and for the help they have given us. For good measure we’ll leave the building intact. (Well, almost, anyway.) Article II: To the Juniors we leave our high mental and physical abilities, our superior qualities, great achievements, and dignity, and hope that they can live up to these high standards. Article III: To the Sophomores, we bequeath the mysteries and privileges that go with being upper classmen. Article IV: To the Freshmen we leave the happy-go-lucky ways of the Sophomores. Artilce V: To the Dramasquers’ Club we leave our histrionic ability. Article VI: To the oncoming Freshmen we bequeath a scooter and Miss Hattendorf. The scooter is to enable them, in their first few days at L. H. S., to get to classes on time and Miss Hattendorf is to listen to all their trials and tribulations. Article VII: To the class of 1999 we leave all our hopes and visions of escalators and elevators. Article VIII: We hereby bequeath our most treasured possessions to the following: We, Jim Nye and Judd Hauenstein, to anyone who is capable, our all around good fellowship and brain power. We, Marilyn Hummell and Richard Erick, to Mary Lou Herdinan and Willis Rummel, our efficiency. I, Libby Lloyd, to Mary Poulos, my artistic ability. I, Barbara Sweeny, to Gloria McLain, my ability to give with the melodious modulations. We, Rod Bradford. Paul Markwood, and Murray Arnold, to Jim Minehart. Stan Turner, and Jim Christian, our ability of great physical agility and strength. I, Duke Sells, to Danny Johnson, my cleverness. We, Kenny Hannan and Ruth Black, to Maxie Bitler and Marilyn Brain, our personality. I. Joyce Riggin, to Rosann Cox, my sweet disposition. I, Juanita Short, to Virginia Mumford, my quiet manners. I, Hubie Eyman, to Cap Evans, my love of argument. I, Jean Stein, to Ginny Sells, my way with the men. I, Frank Agee, to Harold Bierly, my manly stature.

I, Dottie Capron, to Barbara Holcombe, the excellence of my epidermis. I. Ted Ashton, to anyone who wants the job, my ability to think up money making schemes. I, Ruth Scholl, to Mary Virginia Lunsford, my gift of gab. We, Marjorie Mondhank and Evelyn Probasco, to Dorothy Plinke and Carol Jean Amendt, our pleasant smiles and friendly ways. I, Wilma Beery, to Barbara Wallace, my hearty laugh. I, Mary Jane Shaw, to Georgeann Herman, my alert and polite manner. We, the basketball team, to next year’s tear , our ability to play good basketball. I, Bud Oberdorfer, to Bill Landis, my loveable and boyish ways. Article IX: We hereby appoint Mrs. Lambright, Mr. Pratt, and Mr. Miller as executors of this our last Will and Testament. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-sixth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty three. (Signed) Class of 1943 Mary Anne Spencer CLASS POEM The end of our high school days has come. With sad departure, I fear, But some of us are looking forward To the climax of the year. We still have the spirit of Lancaster High We acquired in our freshman year: It’s something you cannot express in words: Yet the meaning is very clear. We do not claim the smartest class That has ever graced a hall; But morale is high, our faults are few; We’re among the best of all! Our lessons were hard, but we did our best, And the going was usually rough; We struggled through to the final test To prove that we had the “stuff.” We had some games and dances, of course. That’s the fun of our senior year; We couldn’t be studying every night Preparing for our career. In future years as we look back On our memorable high school days. We wonder, “Could we have done more In the mending of our ways?” We ponder at leaving this dear old school With her honors far l)eyond mention: We enjoyed every part of attending here, Including the periods of detention. We graduate at a critical time In the history of our nation. But we’ll help our country to the limit With eager determination. As the curtain rises on this great stage of life, We seniors are ready to begin. Our careers are eagerlv waiting for us. And surely we’re bound to win! — Jean Rader CLASS PROPHE C Y Dear John: Passing by the booth of Houdini, the crystal gazer at the great Fairfield County Fair, I couldn't resist going in. You know me. In his small room, so full of mystery and soft green lights, sat Houdini. Passing his long, thin hands over the crystal ball he gazed twenty-five years into the future. “I see ---- “Rev. James R. Nye going among his parishioners on his daily calls; Libby Lloyd doing illustrations for short stories and novels in ’Good Housekeeping’ ‘Ameri- can’, and ‘Cosmopolitan’, also ‘Sunday Star’ and ‘Esquire’; Neal Burdette and Mcdill Wygum are co-owners of the new Stinkbomb Plant, Inc. All of their exports go to Germany and Japan. At dear old Alma Mater, Hubert Amstutz has Mr. Porter’s old job: Mary Tripp, the best dressed teacher, is teaching mathmetics; the basketball team has two coaches, Charles Montague and Carl Raymond. They couldn’t decide which would make the best coach: so they hired both. Now the team is twice as good. Lcla Wilson, manager and general hostess of the ‘After School Relaxation Center’ is serving that old-fashioned beverage ‘coke’ to L. H. S. students. Billy Arnold, the record changer for the establishment, is celebrating a three cent raise with two former classmates, Charles Barker and Harold Odle. “The current ‘steady’ couple is Jeanne Davis and Judd Haucnstcin. They’re still at it. Jack McClenaghan has taken over Miss Ada Fisher’s dancing classes and is doing a very good business. Junior Boyer on the hand organ grinds out the hot jazz and the sweet ballet music to accompany him. Matthew Bloom fixes the mash- ed toes and hips thrown out of joint by the students. Frank McNaughtan, Bill Townsend, and Vernon Archer are returning from a tour of Europe with their troop of midgets. Warren Brown, the world famous juggler, is an added feature of the show. Frank Agee is the chief chef for Laver, Laver, and Laver’s Elusive Restaur- oncle; Patty Laver of Laver, Laver, and Laver serves many of the professional men and women such as Arthur Matthews, judge of the Family Relations Court; Dick Miller, the local weather bureau man; and Mary Jane Olvey, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Chief Chef Agee’s famous Thrown Vegetable Salad With Rotten To- mato Sauce is known all over the county. “Hubie Eyman’s latest contribution to the scientific world is Spikes Spiffy Delifeadator. He’s working in collaboration with Duke Sells who owns and opera- tes Duke’s Dogs Die To Go Here Funeral Parlor. Donald Delp, Robert Reid, and Edward Spilman help with the necessary tails and details. Last week Bill Garrett was caught sneaking upstairs rather late one night with his shoes in his hand. Mrs. Garrett, nee Hannah Thrash, was a little provoked. Mr. Garrett is expected to recover. “Rod Bradford has just resigned as director of the Girls' Glee Clubbe at Ab- normal State University in Lancaster. He said as he ran out the building and down the street ‘Aw nuts!’ Becoming more and more known everyday is the Bar I. Y. Q. Ranch in New Mexico where Jack Bciter, Paul Markwood, and Paul Kane raise exquisite green herring. Special government agents, Jo Ann Hawk and Dorothy Capron, have been sent down to investigate. The government thinks the deal smells. Murray Arnold’s new business interprise The-Let-Me-Cut-The-Tail-Off-Your- Puppy-Dog is netting him a net sum. Junior partner, Glenn Patterson, has just made his first million. The new national band sensation, Dave Loughery’s Spike Smith and his coun- try Jakes, are making a motion picture for G. M. G. The highlight of the show is when Evelyn Probasco gives the modern version of ‘Can’t Get Out of This Mood.’ Homer Bowers is featured on the violin. Ruth Dittoe is the string tightener for the virtuoso. Keith Jewell’s own composition, ‘One Finger Blues’, has won wide acclaim. The specialness about this number is that he plays with only the second fingers on alternating hands. CLASS PROPHECY “Speeding up production, Pauline Lewis’s Handknit Sweater Shop is turning out 12 a day now. Helping her with the pearl a row, knit a row routine are Phy- llis Stout and Martha Waits. Martha Ellis and Gloria Pannabccker pick up the dropped stitches. “At the Style Center, managed by Ellen Ballmer, everything is hustle-bustle. They are making the trousseau for Mary Anne Spencer. Ted Ashton 'nas just pro- posed. He had to wait until he got his first raise at Hammond's. Janice Bitler is the designer; and Homer Boley and Don Kane are raising red throated dandelions for the bride’s bouquet. “On Tuesday afternoon at i P. M., Joyce Bigum and Betty Worhrer discovered a new substance called sugar. I see they are wearing shoes again. Houdini continues to peer into the crystal ball. “The home town boy who made good in the movies. Bob Reef, is currently fea- tured in ’Frankinstein Meets His Equal.’ Also in Hollywood arc Norma Shaw and Anna Lee Mason, who are writing scripts for Mickey Mouse; Ruth Black, dress de- signer; and Barbara Combs, who is coaching the young starlets in the art. “Dictator Samuel L. Snyder of Ilse Be Seenin You, former Abyssinia, is ac- quiring more power by the day in his big country of 20 square miles. For this reason he is adding more to his already large staff of 250 secretaries. Ruth Conrad. Doris Hammack, and Edward Touvell arc the latest additions. Sam Snyder’s court jester is Gordon Swaney. When he gets ‘corney,’ Dictator Snyder has Evon Thom- as, Doris Valentine, Marion Blancy, and Virginia Kane, chorus girls, to entertain him. Out in sunny California Mr. and Mrs. Morris Nelson (Betty Rittgers) own a large plantation of 3 square miles in which they raise their favorite fruit, vitamin enriched spinach. Betty Miller and Evelyn Clarke, planned a month's visit with them; but by the end of two weeks they were tired of spinach three meals a day. So, they looked up Margaret Burnside who operates a boarding house in Chicago. “At the East Side Hospital in Lancaster, Dr. Dick Kane is treating Carl New- man. a mental wreck. (He cracked under the strain of waiting for his turn at Dr. Chester Turner’s dental office). Dr. Kane has called in Dr. June Kauffman on consultation. Head nurse Joyce Riggin thinks it is just a case of nerves and can be cured with a dose or two of the sweet bedside manner of Barbara Sweeney. In Ward C is Paul Oberdorfer for the second time in one month. His time machine just won't work, it keeps blowing up. However, Ruth Scholl, Eleanor Stout. Doro- thy Thomas, Erma Bauer, and Patty Vogel, nurses, make it worth his while to take a rest cure. “Every class has its journalists. Kenny Wrightsel is managing editor of the ‘Lancaster Daily Beagle’ whose slogan is ‘We have a nose for news.’ Norma Jean Bader gives dancing lessons via her column while Sarah Briggs writes of the lat- est fashions. They’re wearing slit skirts, leg of mutton sleeves, and plumes. Jo Ann Collins is the super snoop. (She gets that way from chasing down people for the Mirage). Giving help to the hopeless is Dorothy Meyers in her daily “Heart- Throb column. The paper recently sponsored a men’s beauty contest among the young eligibles of Lancaster. Bob Guest won the title of Mr. Lancaster of 1968 with Earnest Goodyear running a close second. Jack Peters lost out on the finals be- cause most of the hair on top of his head wasn’t. The judges for the contest were Brenda Beavers, Joan Bigepton, and Carol Mohler. District Attorney Bryan Car- penter said the judges were bribed but there was no ground, (cofTee being rationed) so the case was dropped. Houdini gazes on. Chief of Police Ed Tout is being awarded a Pink and Green Yo-Yo for finally chasing down Jack McClurg, the Fullest Brush salesman, who has already driven three housewives crazy; namely, Marjorie Mondhank, Jean Duncan, and Barbara Lee. Just hanging out his shingle after many years of hard work and struggle is Bill Morton, consulting child psychologist. Office hours arc from 1 p. m. to 3 a. m. Edith Alten is his secretary and Mary Daugherty, his nurse. CLASS PROPHECY “Dave Thimines, the big political boss in the Street Cleaners Union, refuses to take part in the V. C. T. U. parade while Carl Kauffman, president of the W. C. T. U. is quoted as saying ‘Censored’. The light is on. “Alma Hernandez, new special envoy to Cuba, is replacing Kenny Hannan, who lost his position because they found out it wasn’t Spanish he was speaking but East Fifth Avenue slang. “I see in the Big City ---- “Joan Blosser in the fifth row of the Follies; Jean Stein and Jean Parker are Powerful Models, once called Powers Models. Don Castoe does the photography for Powerful Models, Inc. The Betty Jane and Georgia Allen dance team make their living by winning dance marathons; Norma Eads and Freda Graf, airline hostesses, stop here often after making cross country trips in the compartmental stratoships. “Jack Nusser is now the proud owner of the Distinguished Service Cross for retrieving two of the escaped lleas from Bob Jackson Beck's Flunky Flea Circus, with three rings. Their escape is attributed to Paul Pulsinelli, since Mr. Beck insists on Paul’s sleeping with them. Kenny Sells educates all the fleas himself. “Louise Schlub, the Einstein of today is lecturing all over the country and she usually wins her point. Also on tour are Beatrice Cavinee, Gladys Courtney, Doro- thy Delong, and Charlene Kline with their tumbling act. Such grace, such case, such timing! They carry first aid supplies just in case. Betty Lou Kneller is celebrating her first 25 years as manager of the School Girl’s Shop at the Hickle Compuny. She plans to spend many more happy years there. Marilyn Hummell is nearing the end of 20 years as the buyer for the well known Hickle Baby Shop. Representing local interests in Congress are Don Claypool and Robert Wolf- inger. Their latest bill on abolishing Ground Hog Day will pass without a shadow of doubt. Robert Raybourne was recently granted a patent on his fire proof invention. The first user, Elzworth Hart, recommends it to all his business friends. Mr. Hart expects to start rebuilding his hardware store next week. Oh well, it might have worked.’’ “What’s this!” Houdini cries, “I see ---- “Marilyn Mondhank is having car trouble. She, Ruth Morrow, Virginia Pearce, Jean Reid, and Marcelette Redd were on their way to Helen’s Tea Room (Helen Hankinson) for a coming out party for the daughters of Florence Ruff and Cath- erine Yenrick. They went into Beiter, Schweikert, and Flege. Edward Schweikert, now the sole owner of the place kindly offered them the use of his tele- phone for only .05 cents. Dick Witham quickly came from Flappy’s Fixer-Uppers of Failing Fords Garage with his wrecker. At the garage each person was taken one at a time into an office with J. Wm. Smith printed impressively on the door. Ileno Reid, dressed in a nurse’s uniform took all things away from them that could be used in any way as a weapon. Margaret Bope brought them each a glass of milk and a cookie. Their lunch was interrupted by Esta Rader who came in saying angrily, ‘Out dammed spot.’ Juanita Short quickly takes oqt into the hall again. Screams are heard. Paul Windesheim is chasing Sara Musser down the hall with a hatchet. Arlene Markel rides by on a broom stick. Music comes floating through the air. It gets closer and closer. It is Lila Lee Klump accompanying Jean Rad- er's poetry on the violin. Jean writes poetry. As she goes down the hall ‘The end of our high school is come’, floats back through the window. Dr. Smith is explain- ing that the inmates were especially difficult that day. Ethel Kienzle announced that the car was ready and the party continued on their way to the tea room where Betty Jean Reid. Amelia Bevis, and Eileen Hedges were pulling down the shades, and closing up for the the night. CLASS PROPHECY “Newly elected governor of Ohio on the Bull Moose Party ticket, Anthony Poulos's first official act was to declare a ‘Be Kind To Snipes Week.’ Neal Miller. Governor Poulos’s campaign manager and Chief Snipe, has appointed Don Farrow ns supervisor of the details of ‘B. K. T. S. Week.’ Mr. Farrow's assistant is Walter Young, whose assistant is Dorothy Arent, whose assistant is Jean Ferguson, who answers all telephone calls. Into the Juvenile Court presided over by Judge Emerson Witham. the one with the long, white beard, Police Officers, Bob Shaeffer, Dick Evans, and Harold Miller, brought Ruth Armstrong's daughter, Virginia; Bill, son of Jean Rockcy: and Richard Smith. Jr. who were playing marbles in the middle of Main Hill. Police Officers Billy W'alter, Robert Loy, and Fred Snider had ten marbles each when their fellow policemen stepped in. “Dick Erick, president of the Anchor-Hocking-Valley-Glass Corporation has asked Bill Bauman, Secretary of Hard Labor, to settle a sit-down strike among the hostesses in the Factory Door Canteen. Wilma Beery refuses to serve Irving Ham- lin, personality director, his usual fifth cup of coffee.” With that Houdini, the crystal gazer, prepared to end the seance. “W'ait a minute,” he cried, “I see one thing more: I see that the class of '43 is the best ever to be graduated from Lancaster High.” I went away quite content to be a member of this class. — Mary Jane Shaw BACCALAUREATE HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM May 30, 1943 — 7:30 P.

Though our senior year is still ahead of us, we are already active in the work of the school: Purple Pepper staff, machine shop, aeronautics, sports, music, clubs, etc. Jun- ior year is busy but full of fun, too. The three most exciting events are our assembly program, our class play, and, last but not least, the Junior Prom. We may seem very carefree, but we must think fast to plan our studies to meet possible war needs and the hard years ahead. Don Stuck, Joan Beck. Betty Shaw. Mary A bell. Norma Joan Bartley.

S O P H O M O R E S The biggest thrill of the sophomore year is knowing that we are no longer freshmen. We become more prominent in school affairs, have a real party, and present an assembly program, with much applause from the balcony, which is our special section. Many of our classmates are seen enjoying themselves at the school dances. It is the year, too, of geometry and Caesar. Before we can believe it, our high school careers are half over.

FRESHMEN After looking forward to high school for eight long years, it is rather a shock to discover that we are only freshmen. However, we recon- cile ourselves to that knowledge and begin in a modest way to take our place in the life of our school. Freshman year is beset with many doubts and difficulties; but it is a happy year, too, as we gain confidence and learn self-reliance. We do have something to give the school, and our school has much to give us. Charles Ochs, Donald Gardner, Sabina Sa- lini.

The Faculty In this year of emergency when the efforts of all citi- zens are devoted to the war effort, the teachers and staff of our school system find themselves torn between a de- sire to continue in their regular positions and the desire to enter directly into war service. Our school is infinitely proud of Mr. Sarkkinen, Mr. Beal, and Mr. Ferguson, who are in Uncle Sam’s army. At the same time we realize that there is no more important contribution that any person can make to the winning of the war and the winning of the subsequent peace than the training of youth. Many adjustments in our teaching force have been re- quired this year. Mr. Papritan came at the beginning of the year to replace Mr. Sarkinen. Then Mrs. Boocks was called to assume Mr. Beal’s work. When Mr. Ferguson left, Mr. Showers took his place and Miss Miesse began to teach the mechanical drawing classes. Then Miss Middle- ton returned to carry on the art work. Mrs. Lambright replaced Miss Swamberg, who was unable to return after Christmas. Other changes followed the death of Mr. Neff. Mr. Irick was asked to teach physics and aeronautics, Mr. Marvin Miller was employed to teach certain classes, and Mr. Pratt became our new assistant principal. Hardly a teacher has escaped the stress and strain of extra demands on his time and energy. They have altered their courses to meet present needs, they have taught de- fense classes, and helped with the government rationing program. This has not been an easy year for our faculty.

The mind, body, and soul of each of us are developed through sports, music, and drama as well as through math and science. Moreover, we are able to do many useful things for our school and our community through our activi- ties and clubs, especially in this year of total war. iVMRAGE STAFF We Mirage Staff members have felt very keenly our loss of Mr. Neff, who for so many years had been re- sponsible for the year book. We resolved that we would try to pro- duce an annual worthy of its long line of predecessors. The work was up to its time schedule; and with the assistance of Miss Johnson, who kindly assumed the advisership, we completed the book. Staff members are chosen for their ability and their thorough re- liability. Putting out a year book is quite a business, and it takes some managing and hard work. It is an interesting job, however, and those who work at it learn a good deal about book making. On the whole, we staff members feel proud to have been able to do this work for our classmates.

The Student Council is a representative body. Each of us is elected by a homeroom group. and we represent that group in council meeting. In conference with Mr. Porter and Mr. Pratt we discuss matters of interest to the whole school and report decisions to our various rooms. We have a chance to exert considerable influence in improving our school and in unifying its pro- gram. THE NATIONAL The National Honor Society cooperates with other organizations to serve the school. For ex- ample. with the Senior Hi-Y and the choral or other groups we provide the Christmas tree for the school lobby every year. Now, in wartime, we conduct the publicity for the Thrift Club members who sell defense stamps and bonds in the school. We award a banner, prepared by the sewing classes, every two weeks to the home- room that has made the most sales in that time. We are planning an honor roll of former students now serving in the armed forces.

SMART SOCIETY H O N O R The National Honor Society was organized for the purpose of stimulating scholarship. In 1903, the first high school honor society. Phi Beta Sigma, was or- ganized. This organization was composed of five girls of high scholastic standing and was under the direction of Dr. William B. Owen, then principal of South Side Academy, Chicago. The idea grew until there came to be numerous organizations like this with similar requirements for admission, and with the development of scholarship as the primary goal. There was such a successful operation of local and district honor societies that the problem of a nation-wide organization was considered by the National Associa- tion of Secondary School Principals. The idea was investigated, and a plan was drawn up and accepted. The name given to this organization was the American Torch Club which was later changed to the National Honor Society. By the year 1940, the number of such organizations had increased to 2C77. The Lancaster chapter of the National Honor Society was founded on March 11, 1933, through the efforts of Principal Dean M. Hickson. The first officers elected by the society were: Bryon Thomas, president; Louise Kirn, Vice-president; and Jane Axline, secretary. Up to the present, there have been 177 members in the Lancaster chapter. The object of the Lancaster chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of Lancaster High School. Members are elected to this chapter by a council consisting of the principal and a group of teachers whom he selects. Honor students are chosen for qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Lancaster High School can confer no higher honor upon a young man or woman than election to the National Honor Society. PEPPER PURPLE Publishing a bi-weekly, four-page school paper is a full-time activity for the members of our small journalism class, for writing the news is only one part of our responsibility. Each of us has a regularly assigned beat” to cover, head- lines to write, and regular class work in journalism to do. We take turns proof- reading, reading copy, and making up our dummy. As members of the J. A. O. S. (Journalism Association of Ohio Schools) and of the N. S. P. A. (National Scholastic Press Association), we attend meetings of these groups whenever it is possible. This year one of our co-editors, Kenneth Wrightsel, attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association meeting in New York City. We try to print all of the news of the school accurately and fairly and to conform, in matters of policy, to the ideals and standards of the administration. Although we are proud of the growth of our paper in recent years and of the fact that we are entirely self-supporting, we are perhaps even more proud that the unfailing loyalty of the students of Lancaster High has made it possible for us to maintain the standard of the Purple Pepper through a difficult year.

Mem- bership is open to all taking third or fourth-year Latin and to second-year stu- dents who have previously maintained a B average. This year we forty-six members have made a special study of democracy in ancient Greece and Rome and its preservation in our American democracy.

Our High School Marching and Concert Band, in the past year, has played for inductees leaving for training camps, in patriotic parades, and in bond sales cam- paigns. Many patriotic and wartime numbers are in our repertoire. To meet wartime demands, our director has organized a special service band of sixteen members to play where smaller groups are appropriate. Soloists and ensembles, also, have performed at community meetings. Our beautiful blue and gold uniforms, as well as our music, help to make the football games thrilling to L. H. S. students.

We are proud to be members of the Lancaster High School Choir, for it has been known for its excellence for several years. Students look forward to our Christmas program with anticipation and count on hearing us on Baccalaureate Sunday and Commencement Day. This year, we, like the rest of our school, have followed a theme of patriotism. A patriotic assembly, in October, was dedicated to Mr. Beal, former music director who entered the armed forces. Also, we have supplied numbers for Kiwanis, Ro- tary, Quota, Lions, and other clubs of Lancaster.

Ours is an honorary club. The membership is limited to proficient typists. Some of our noteworthy accomplishments have been: issuing of certificates to people deserving recognition in typewriting: issuing awards to the winners in the annual business education contest: the purchase of much needed equipment for the department: and the sale of shorthand pads and typing paper here in our school.

In the not so distant past, the French Club made a $25.00 gift to the American Service Committee for relief work in France, and the clubs together gave the language de- partment a radio and record player as well as a number of records. We have pre- sented assembly programs of an international character, fostered foreign corres- pondence, translated letters for local industries, cooperated with visiting speakers in presenting information about other countries, and in other ways tried to broaden the outlook of our school. This year the French and Spanish clubs together pur- chased the United Nations Hags for the school. First Row, (left to right): Carolyn Westenbarger, Sarah Briggs.

STILL JUNIOR' RED CROSS Two representatives from each homeroom are members of the Junior Red Cross. Fifty members joined in the Victory Corps parade on Armistice Day. We manage the packing of kits for soldiers going over seas, promote drives for books, funds, etc., and with the help of Miss Hudson and Mr. Marvin Miller we aid the work of the Red Cross in various ways. Many groups have been generous with their assistance to the Junior Red Cross. Under the direction of Miss Miesse, Miss Middleton, Miss Nafzgar, Miss Yauger, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Peer, L. H. S. students have donated long hours of service. Industrial arts and shop students made stretchers and splints, lap boards and writ- ing boards: the art classes, library envelopes and cards; Miss Nafzgar’s sewing classes, with a record of 90 hours of work, completed two afghans, five bed jackets, five lap robes, and 35 kit bags; and a canteen class, organized and instructed by Miss Yauger, has been preparing to do its bit. OFFICE CORPS The many girls who have worked in the offices of Mr. Pratt, Miss Hattendorf, Miss Hudson, and Miss Hoyman have rendered valuable and faithful service to the school. These girls really work, and do it with a smile, receiving no reward except gratitude and, of course, some valuable experience. CHEERLEADERS Always on the job to arouse our enthusiasm and pep were our cheerleaders, Betty Miller, Jo Ann Collins. Beryl Figgins, Mary Virginia Lunsford, Ellen Blaney, Bob Parsons, and Helen Jo Lytle. In pep rallies and at the games their leadership helped us to support our teams. In their blue and gold uniforms they are something to be proud of. GIRL RESERVES The Freshman and Sophomore Girl Reserves, organized a year ago by Mrs. Mary Burnham, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., have combined their efforts this year by sponsoring the weekly dances at the Y. W. C. A. and the Victory Book Drive. The sophomore group also presented a play in assembly, gave a Mothers' Day tea. and sponsored a freshman and sophomore Girl Reserve dance. The freshman group gave an Easter party for the Children’s Home and a dance for the eigth grade Girl Reserves. Miss Gesling and Miss Koch sponsor these two clubs. STAGE CREW Our Stage Crew worked behind the curtains at assemblies, plays, and other programs. There was a lot of work to be done such as: fixing the lights, attaching the loud speaker, building stage sets, and caring for scenery and equipment. The man who was responsible for seeing that the work got done was Mr. Irick. Our stage manager was Hubert Eyman. The other members of the crew were Allen James, Dick Vogel, Harold Bierly, and Dick Miller. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized this year but there have always been student helpers who have assisted our librarian, Miss Harris. The eighteen students who have helped in passing out library slips and in keeping the library in good order are: Mary Towt, Wanda Crist, Nancy Haney. Dena Johnson, Betty Kost, Mary Virginia Lunsford, Carol Mohler, Carolyn Kane, Dorothy Myers, Arlene Bowman, Ruth Scholl, Barbara Holcomb, Evelyn Probasco, Velma Smith, Elsie Sfebleton, Rose Marie Swinehart, Evon Thomas, and Eleanor Stout. The services which they have rendered to the school have been invaluable. ATHLETICS A large share of the fun as well as the value of our school days comes from the athletic games in which we participate or to which we give our loyal support. Ideals of clean play, good sports- manship, and loyalty are ideals that the world of the future can use. COACHES JAMES PAPRITAN _____________________ Football.

VICTORY VACATION EXCERPT FROM UNITED BUSINESS SERVICE” Issued February 13, 1943, immediately following publication of the new WAR WORK or FIGHT EDICT” “To maintain necessary civilian production, 2.5 million men and boys and 2.3 million women must be drawn from unproductive lines. High School students must take on part-time work and all these must be rather good at their jobs. EACH OF US wants to do all he can to help win the war. Many of us need to develop special abilities and skills to the highest degree possible and yet in the shortest time and to use our abilities and skills whenever and wherever they will count most to hasten the day of Victory. YOU, TOO, can add something toward bringing nearer the winning of this war in which you may have a brother, a sister, relative, or friend serving either in camp or at the battle front. DURING YOUR SUMMER MONTHS you can acquire a good basic- skill in typewriting, machine calculating, mimeographing, accounting, shorthand or advance your present skill to greater expertness. .At the same time you will enjoy the change from academic study to purely vo- cational preparation. This in itself affords such a mental diversion that nearly all our summer school students say they greatly enjoy the business college summer sessions. If you are carrying an academic (college preparatory) course of study in High School, a Victory Vacation,” spent in acquiring one of the much-in-demand skills, will not only prove a saving of time to you later, but will enable you to take part in certain types of skilled office work early upon your completion of High School, or as part-time employment during the school year. If you are carrying a High School Commercial Course, you can add considerably to your basic training in shorthand and typewriting with a summer course in such subjects as OFFICE MACHINES (Adding Machines, Comptometers, Calculators) ELECTRIC POSTING MACHINE BOOKKEEPING ADVANCED SECRETARIAL TRAINING (Including Dictaphone) SPECIAL CIVIL SERVICE COACHING 12 Special Summer School VICTORY VACATION” Courses are Offered, Starting June 7, at smess College TO THE GRADUATES OF 1943 You have passed examinations under the stress of world conditions never experienced by a class of graduates before. Seldom is it our privi- lege to see a class blessed with so many of the qualities of which good citizens are made. To the boys we wish all success in the military life which most of them will enter. Also, we applaud the morale of the girls and their courage to see this “thing” through. More than ever, then, to this class of ’43’, we extend our heartiest congratulations. 135 South Broad Street Compliments of CARR’S cut-rate drug STORE 149 W. Main St. If It’s Drug — We Have It!
