S. realized early in the year 1942 that one hundred percent participa- tion of all the people of the U. S. A. was necessary if this war was to be won. Students and school ad- ministrators alike racked their brains for an answer to the question What can we do to help? , and the answer came in the form of the government's Victory Corps program, which was adopted before the year was out. L. H. S. was one of the first high schools in this part of the country to set up such a plan. Mr. Griffin was made faculty adviser of our Victory Corps with Paul Sidle assisting him as Stu- dent Commander. An advisory council composed of citizens of Lansdowne, faculty advisers, and student representatives was set up with Mr. Earl Brumbaugh as Chairman. This group discussed the ways and means of organization as well as future activities. The Victory Corps was made up of several divisions such as: General Membership, which was open to the members of all classes of the high school who fulfilled the requirements, Air Service Division, Community Service Division, Land Service Division, and Sea Service Division, all of which were open only to seniors and juniors who met the specified requirements of each individual division. The follow- ing student division captains were selected: Patsy Purse, General Membership, Leo Iordan, Air Serv- ice, Nancy Durman, Community Service, Robert Betson, Land Serviceg and Peter Larson, Sea Service. Each division was broken up into a number of pla- toons Cheaded by lieutenantsl which were, in turn, divided into three squads each. Sergeants, aided by corporals, led the squads. Classes were organized to benefit the boys and girls of the Victory Corps expecting to go into the service of their country in the near future. Instruc- tion in Red Cross work, pre-flight and navigation training, and the fundamentals of radio, along with other courses were offered to Victory Corps members. The most important work of the Victory Corps was to collect scrap metal and rubber, and Red Cross articles from the entire town of Lansdowne. Every other Friday afternoon, throughout March, April, and May, was devoted to this collection. Also, the military drill group as well as representatives from each division, accompanied the Lansdowne selectees to the station when they left to do their part in our united war effort. Undoubtedly the boys liked to know that the people here in Lansdowne were behind them one hundred percent when they left on their march toward Victory. Yes, the Victory Corps has truly been the an- swer to our questiong we can now feel that we are really helping to further our nations cause during these days of struggle. Moreover, the success of this organization was due largely to the untiring efforts of Mr. Griffin. His genuine interest and enthusiasm in the project have stimulated the officers and other members to put their full cooperation behind the work. 2' ral! 1' A - Q' w ' - 1 M-..,..h. ff' ,. 2325 x Q Q W ,. 1 , .RW I f fl -is - .

WE PREPARE CURSELVES for the VTCTCRY MARCH Realizing that war demands great sacri- fices, Lansdowne High students have devoted much time and energy to the pre-induction and special training courses which are a part of the Victory Corps program. Each afternoon after school, many students have spent their leisure time acquiring one of the many skills needed by a warring nation. Our faculty was well equipped to provide guidance in numer- ous vital subjects. Six courses were offered to the Victory Corpsmen intended to qualify them for membership in the special divisions and to fit them for special duties after graduation, The navigation class taught by Mr. Tammeryn pro- vided for the future sailors of L. H. S. a basic training in the fundamental processes of chart- ing a ships course. The pre-flight aeronautics class was divided into two sections. Mr. Snyder led the elementary class in a study of the back- ground and foundations of aviation, while Mr. Litwhiler imparted to the advanced class a working knowledge of physics and aerody- namics. The airplane donated to this class proved of great value in acquainting the aspir- ing aviators with the mechanics of aviation. The auto mechanics class, taught by Mr. Wen- zel, has proved of special interest to the many girls who realize that they may be called upon to assume men's jobs in the auto industry. The typing classes coached by Miss Lacy, Mr. Kraber, and Mr. Kramer have provided valu- able instruction and practice for future office forces. The military drill squads headed by Mr. Atkiss, Mr. Corbin, and Mr. Epley offered a timely training to our future soldiers, sailors, and marines. The instructors were ably assisted by Louis Steinman, a member of the junior class and formerly of Valley Forge Military Academy, The patience and perseverance of the instructors and members of the courses will doubtless prove of invaluable aid to L. H. S. students in a world at war. l King McRea, and Krieger work out h 1 V, Gallagher, Gamble, and Benner on apparatus during gym period.

THE IOB DEMANDS PARAMOUNT HEALTH This year, on account ot the war and the plea tor a healthier nation, a new course in health was added to the curricula ot our school. Mr. Radcliffe instructed all the classes oi this course, except one class ot girls, taught by Mr. Epley. The main purpose in the studying ot health was the development ot a knowledge ot the proper health habits and the practicing ot them. The pupils who studied health learned about the values of good posture and how to correct poor posture. Besides this, they studied about various health bureaus. Despite the tact that many pupils growled when they heard that the health course was going to be added to the curricula ot L. H. S., they soon agreed that health was an important subject. The pupils ot L. H. S. did more than study health, they tried to maintain health also. They did this through their gym classes, physical exam- inations and by participating in swimming classes, competitive sports, and many other activities. The juniors, seniors and athletes were given, this year, the opportunity to re- ceive a tuberculin test, given by the school nurse and doctor. This test enabled a student to discover whether a tuberculin germ had ever entered his body. lt this had happened the pupil was able to have an X-ray taken to determine whether he had active T. B. The pupils ot L. H. S. were healthier than they had ever been before because ot the tine health program ot lQ43. SELF - SACTHEICE AND WILLING HEARTS MUST PREV!-UL Seniors swamp Student Council Treasurer Torn French with the dol- lars they voted to send on a Wash- ' ington trip this year as proxies for themselves ' Lansdowne joined the war effort by buying defense stamps, salvaging scrap metal, and collecting every key, tin can, and torn stocking that could be found. Everyone was urged to buy a minimum of one defense stamp each week from his or her home room representa- tive. Most of the student body cooperated. The seniors showed their patriotic spirit even more when the number of seniors who usually went on the class trip bought a S25 bond. Led by Mr. Snyder, the scrap drive yielded over 0000 pounds. Qld iron, beds, large tanks, and parts of an old airplane were some of the articles which were gathered. Since Lansdowne is not an industrial town, the material which was accumulated was a considerable amount. Wednesday became the day for tin can collec- tions, and by the end of the first semester home room thirty-six led the rest with a grand total of 4543 tin cans. The key drive, another aim toward victory, yielded 4000 keys.

Here pupils line up against the wall, care- fully out of range of doors and windows. There are a number of messengers, fire fighters, and wardens among the student body. lf it is neces- sary for them to report to their special posts, they display official armbands and hasten on their way. Meanwhile, pupils and teachers remain in the halls until the all clear is heard. Cooperation is gained during the drills by hav- ing singing under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Corbin. Our school is prepared for air raids-real or practice, The glass portions of all the doors opening onto the hallways are boarded up. All the other doors are covered with heavy wiring. Also, many windows are taped. Since shatter- ing glass is a great danger, no precaution against it is too great. Every window in our gymnasium is equipped with blackout curtains. Thus, in case of a blackout while a social activity or an athe letic contest is in progress, it can continue as usual. So whatever may come, Lansdowne High is ready.

First Aid: Collins, Morrison, Longacre, Martin, Summy. lloine Nursing: Vfeber, Westburgh, Carroll, Taggart, Surgical Dressing: Cole, Mrs. Smith, Cowan, Seely, Dillingham, Stevens, Overseas Kit Production: Price, Fellows, Waring, First aid, surgical dressings, home nursing. and overseas kit production are the Red Cross activities enthusiastically supported by the students here, The purpose of these courses is to aid in the Defense Program. The Red Cross organization first offered these opportunities to our school last year. Overseas kit production, however, was new this year. Members of this course made for service men, overseas bags containing per- sonal articles such as a small housewife made by the girls, a detective story, stationery, play- ing cards, razor blades, and other small things. From scraps of woolen material, slippers for convalescents were contrived, The surgical dressings class, garbed in spotless white uniforms, busily engaged them- selves in making different types of intricate compresses and bandages. First aid and home nursing prepared the girls primarily for emergencies in the home. The information and experience acquired will prove to be valuable in the future. ln home nursing simple duties in the sick room and care of invalids were explained. The first aid class practiced artificial respiration and the treat- ment of accident cases. All the students were out for victory. X.- Last May, l942, the Lansdowne High School presented a patriotic pageant which was truly embodied in its title, i'The Spirit ot America. The main objective was to empha- size American traditions and ideals as the hope of the tuture. Another purpose in mind was to combine the work ot dramatics, creative writ- ing, music, and stagecratt in one large outf standing stage production. The idea of the pageant was sponsored by our principal, Mr. E Carlton Abbott. The growth and the develope ment of our nation were enacted in the follow- ing scenes: Eaith ot Our Fathers, The Birth ot a Nation, Westward l-lol, Civil Strite, The Meltf Lett to right: Mr. Wardrop sings The Ballad for Americans , Warren, Gilmour Wille, Iordan, and Garrett in the Finale, Craig spins a yarn as Zeb Coon is-.1 Klaus, Danenhower, Porter, and O'Neill march in Flag Drill THE SPIRIT OE AMERICA ing Pot, and America, the l-lope ot the Future. The highlight ot the production was the singing ot The Ballad tor Americans by Mr. Wardrop and the chorus. Almost every student in the school helped, directly or indirectly, in the pageant. One ot Mr. Atlciss' junior English classes gathered material and wrote a number ot the scenes. Numerous classes were em- ployed in the preparation and performance ot the pageant. lt makes us proud when we re- alize that our forefathers were the ones who started the American ideals of democracy, the ideals which we are now struggling to retain.

Comdr. S. N. Ewan Sc.B., M.A., Ph.D. Mr. E. Carlton Abbott Ph.B., M.A. Dr. Ewan is now in the second year of his leave of absence while in the service of his country. At the Philadelphia Office of Naval Procurement, where he is second in charge with the rank of Lieutenant Com- mander, his duty is to give interviews and lectures to ap- plicants for naval commissions. Nevertheless, even with this crowded schedule, he found time to come to one of our assemblies and talk to us about the Navy, and also to officiate at our Victory Corps induction by ad- ministering the oath of office to each division. Dr. Ross for the second year has brought the dis- tinction of his rich administrative background to Lans- downe School District. Under his dynamic leadership Lansdowne has kept in the vanguard of the rapidly changing American schools. We are especially indebted to him for much of the excellent equipment recently acquired by the school. Our principal, Mr. Abbott, has been faced with many new duties and problems during the term. But even throughout schedules upset by rationing, he has accomplished regular tasks as well as war-time extras. Part of this additional work consisted of writing hun- dreds of recommendations for graduates applying for commissions in the armed forces, but, busy as he was, he always was ready to give wise counsel and help to our own students. i.. - 1 K 1 . .V r 1. gs . -, K -A SCHOOL BOARD Front, left to right: Mrs. Young, Mr. Musser, Mr. Mooresheacl.

The problem of teacher replacement has loomed large, supplies have become al- most unobtainable, and rising prices have created difficulties. However, in line With its policy of augmenting recreational facilities, the board recently purchased the Colesberry prop- erty on E. Essex Ave. In the high school office, Mrs. Iones, assis- tant principal, and Mrs. Woods, secretary to the principal, have done valiant service in school administration. Arriving in mid-term, Mrs. Iones competently assumed the duties relinquished by Miss Lindenmuth, While Mrs. Woods continued her superlative work as head of the office staff. S. .

Mathematics, an invaluable subject in our curriculum, is taught to the students by our three capable and qualified math teachers. Miss McAllister ably imparts her knowledge of higher mathematics, Mrs. Morris is both a biologist and geometriciang Mr. Fischer inspires the freshmen with a knowledge of algebra. Future clerks and stenographers are being trained in the commercial department with Mr. Kraber patiently directing the students through their typing and shorthand, and Mr. Kramer skillfully teaching business math. Under Miss Lacy's guidance, commercial students are in- structed in typing and office training. The social science teachers try to make the students become better members of our democ- racy. lt is Mr. Coronway's duty to impart a knowledge of civics and ancient history to freshmen. Mr. Snyder has classes in civics and modern history, and Mr. Griffin traces the de- velopment of our country in his American his- tory classes. Mr. Drake, our debating coach, teaches us in his economic course how to cope with everyday problems. Miss Sheafer gives helpful suggestions on reading material in the library, and she also sees that the library contains good books. A student whose ability runs in a musical line comes under the guidance of Mr. Corbin, who is invaluable for his excellent direction of chorus, band, and orchestra.

Miss McCullough guides the seniors through their last year of English, while Mr. Atkiss teaches the juniors and also has a class in American history. Both these teachers, besides their English classes, are in charge of the Lahian. Teaching English Ill and also in- structing thespians is done by Mrs. Christ. Miss Hartman bestows an education of reading, writing, and speaking upon the sophomores, while Miss Hoopes gives some of the freshmen their knowledge of English. Mr. Gershman, faculty adviser of the Garnet and Gray, has classes in English l. The science department is in the land of mystery and experiment. Amid the clouds of smoke, the peculiar smells, and the general tumult, the future doctors, chemists, and en- gineers toil. The biology department, headed by Mr. Epley, delves into the functions of living things. Assisting him are Mr. Litwhiler and Mrs. Morris. Mr. Kleckner teaches general science, and Mr. Litwhiler elucidates chemistry and physics. Teaching the newest subject on our rosters, we find Mr. Radcliffe and his health classes, with Mr. Epley assisting him. Industrial arts and mechanical drawing are taught by Mr. Tammeryn and Mr. Wentzel, who prepare pupils for careers in engineering. Those inter- ested in art come under the helpful guidance of Miss Davis. ln charge of the new distributive education department is Miss Ankeny. Its pur- pose is to correlate study in the class with the students' experience in business fields. Mrs. Stephens and Miss Stevens, through sewing and cooking, provide the girls with a knowl- edge of home making. Physical education is carried out by Mrs. Macky and Mr. Horner, who help in the development of sound health. The members of the faculty who left to join Uncle Sams forces are Lieutenant Ci. g.l Mary E. Lindenmuth of the WAVES, who was for- merly assistant principal of Lansdowne High School, Captain William I. Lowe of the United States Army, stationed at Rutgers University, former English and journalism instructor, Lieu- tenant Iames M. Wardrop of the United States Navy, who previously taught biology, chemis- try, and physics, and Lieutenant Merrill R. Stewart of the United States Navy now in Au- stralia, who taught English and history. 25 OUR SENIORS ARE READY Robert Anderson Gloria Bach Donald Bany Edward Baskin Phyllis Beers Robert Beith Iames Bell Marland Benner Robert Benson Robert Betson lohn Bowers Virginia Britton Don Brown Dorothy Brusstar Dolores Carr Mary Etta Carter Kay Chamblin Doris Christiansen O ROBERT DAVID ANDERSON-Lansdowne . . , lanky tower of strength on gridiron or basketball floor . . , Andy is bound to make a successful draftsman.

Margaret Stevens Class Adviser The class of 1943 whirled through their final year at Lansdowne High under the skilled guidance of Miss Stevens, class adviser, who generously contributed invaluable time and hard work to further the interests of the class. The class officers, Iack Bowers, presidentg Annette Danenhower, vice-presidentg Kitty Lou Miller, secretary, and Iohn Griffiths, treasurer, have done their part in guiding their class, and they have left behind them an enviable record. Under lack, progressive leader of the class, Annette, his capable assistantg Kitty Lou, the careful keeper of the min- utes, and Iohn, efficient accountant, much was discussed in class meetings. The senior class contributed many indispensable students to athletics. On the more esthetic side, the chorus, band, and orchestra were filled With seniors who did their part in producing rhythm and unity. The first and second Senior Dances were both successful financially as Well as socially. Hard working committees were the bases for their success. There is also the Garnet and Gray which could not have been complete Without the untiring efforts of the journalistic seniors who composed the staff. Those seniors who were elected to the National Honor Society in their senior year have Well merited that honor as well as those selected in their junior year. ln place of the traditional senior trip, the usual quota of seniors pledged to buy War bonds instead. This was designated as a patriotic move, and the senior class was lauded by President Roosevelt. The class officers together with Miss Stevens guided the class success- fully, and the seniors Will always be able to look back on four enjoyable years. 36 POPULAR LEADERS OE '44 This year the officers of the junior class found themselves confronted With unusual problems of class administration. A less capable group might have been overwhelmed by the in- numerable complications of wartime restrictions. Fortunately, the juniors made Wise choices. Dick Betson, class president, demonstrated exceptional ability particularly in his choice of efficient personnel for the numerous committees. Vice-President Anne Dusinberre was invaluable assistance because of her skillful direction of class art projects. Secretary Anne Stevens handled her numerous duties with most commendable dis- patch, and Treasurer Lynn Burt ably managed all class finan- cial exploits. JSA - 1 . fi X ' gil 4 gs ,Ls x' .Q - GUIDE DESTINY OF '45 Popular President Bob Eorrey capably led the class of '45 through a successful year. His hard Work and careful judgment helped make this an admired class. His helpful co- worker was Vice-President Mary jane Bricker. When she left in the middle of the school year, her place was filled by Betty Geary. As the class secretary, Charmaine Peacock carefully kept the minutes of the meetings and took care of all other matters of business. The l' '45 financier was Norman Cochran, Whose job it was to be sure the budget balanced. These offi- cers, With cooperation from other individuals and with only necessary advice from Mr. Griffin, the adviser, took responsi- bilities above average. Xi 5 1 PLAN ACTIVITIES OF I' '46 The class of l946 chose four of their most competent mem- bers to lead them through their first year. By selecting Iohn jones as president, Audrey Price as vice-president, Betty Smith as secretary, and David Larson as treasurer, the freshmen have shown excellent judgment, as these officers have carried out their duties exceedingly well. Mrs. Morris, freshman class adviser, said that Audrey Price had done particularly fine Work and had been helpful by writing letters to four freshmen Who were sick for a long time. The freshman class probably would not have had such a successful year had it not been for this excellent leadership of their class officers. X l X -is XS A EX xq I, if Xi 3 X-. n -. .

During its three years of apprenticeship, the class of ' ha reputation for scholastic excellence, athletic ability, and financial s fte t q honor roll has been dominated by the names of members of this cl s, andgifsf resentatives have lined the tables of Honors Banquets. That '44 will leave its mark in L. H. S. athletic archives is indicated by the frequent mention of such names as lack Powers, Ruth Kusner, Bob Schell, lack McRea, Anne Valen- tine, Dick Betson, Bob Lonergan, and many others in school sports' notices. The lucra- tive financial condition of the junior treasury is largely due to the erudite planning of the class adviser, Mr. A. Todd Coronway. Most notable was the success of the Iunior- Freshman Party. That celebration was not only a memorable social event, but, con- trary to custom, it swelled the junior coffers. This year the class has been confronted with a particularly difficult problem. Due to the press of time it was impossible to have the usual number of class meetings. The challenge was met by a series of active committees ably coordinated by President Dick Betson. His efforts combined with the indispensable assistance of Vice-President Anne Louise Dusinberre, Secretary Peggy Bressler, and Treasurer Lynn Burt have resulted in a most prosperous year. The class of '44 has responded to the nation's call. Many of its members are prominent in the Victory Corps, and some, working at part time jobs, are helping to solve the man- power problem. Proudly the junior class claims members Robert Longacre and Wil- liam Reinbold of the United States Navy. Thus we find that the class of l944 has made valuable contributions to Lansdowne High School and to the nation. We have, how- ever, overlooked the artistic accomplishments of the group. Talent is not lacking. The rosters of the orchestra, band, and chorus display many junior names. The Garnet and Gray and the Lahian, the two literary productions of our school, owe a large measure of their success to junior staff members. The junior artists, led by Ruth Kusner and Anne Louise Dusinberre have found a ready market for their skills. Each year many projects arise which demand competent art work. This group has assumed many such responsibilities and has constantly completed its assignments with appro- bation. Next year the senior class of '44 will find itself confronted with a world engaged in total war. It will be called upon to further the cause of victory. The class of l944 is qualified to meet the challenge. ROSTER W --'-- --w-1 l J- Home Room Zl, left to right, front row: Vetter, Rinier, Ford, C. Mann, Kolle, Wilson.

Q 119 overcoming the initial shock they soon became used to their new life in high schoo . These up-and-coming freshmen possess many excellent qualities and are sure to find success and happiness in their four years at L. H. S. They have made a permanent place for themselves in the athletic field and have quite a few outstanding athletes in their midst. These athletes will make tomorrow's varsities great successes. The fresh- men's parents and the freshmen themselves became acquainted with the teachers and students of L. H. S. early in the year. They were helped to do this by the Father and Son Banquet, given by the Honor Society, and by the Freshmen Tea, given by the Girls' Hi-Y. All of the freshmen agree that these events were very successful and express their thanks to the Hi-Y and Honor Society for furnishing them. Their initia- tion into social life was brought about by the lunior-Freshmen Party. At this party the freshmen were ably entertained and spent an evening of fun and gaiety. They really enjoyed this event a great deal and as one freshman expressed it, had the time of their lives at the Iunior-Freshman Party. The freshmen were doing their part for victory too. Most of their class were members of the Victory Corps and they were also regularly attending many of the afterschool classes in typing, military drill, etc. Dur- ing the membership drive for the lunior Red Cross almost all the freshmen imme- diately enrolled. Mr. Epley's room had a hundred percent membership, a fine accom- plishment. The patriotic class of '46 was also buying war stamps. lt was announced in February that the freshman class had sold S839.5O worth of war stamps since the beginning of the year. Thus they sold more war stamps and bonds than their older classmates. Did they stop with the sale of war stamps and the Iunior Red Cross Mem- bership Drive? No, they brought in thousands of tin cans and much scrap metal too. They were working hard for Victory. They could also boast of another honor. It was a freshman homeroom, Miss l-lartman's, that won the Home and School Award. Yes, the freshmen were everywhere. No matter where you go, whether it be to a game, a Victory Corps class, or a dance, you will meet members of the freshman class. W' y? These freshmen have made themselves an active part of L. H. S. They all agree Wat they owe much of their success to the competent leadership of Mrs. Morris, their 'N j class adviser. We wish the class of l946 the best of luck and are sure they will con- tinue their fine record. ,. , H ' Z , Q ROSTER ,,fzWl,.41 fl! fu,4,uluL fl fl! Home Room 54, left to right, front row: E.

As the best gen- erals for the Army and the WAACS We hail Bob Betson and Shirley Lyster! These popular seniors rank high with everyone. They are splendid officers in our Victory Corps and cssets to the Student Council. Bob has won praise and recognition as an outstanding ten- nis player. Shir gained distinction in hockey and tennis. Shir has a rare musical gift and a brilliant mind, and Bob has the ability to ac- complish anything he sets out to do. They possess the personality to get along with others and to handle responsibility. ls it any wonder they were chosen? As for the best morale builders, alias the most attractive, honors fall to Leona Ernper and lack Bowers. A glance at these two will justify the voting results. Leona and Iack are tops not only in appearance, but also in personality and talent. Both are Student Council members. Leona played varsity hockey three years, and lack proved himself absolutely invaluable to the basketball and football teams. lack, Senior President, is an old hand at this morale busi- ness since he has won the popularity vote throughout high school. Lee's friendliness and charm have been with the Hi-Y two years. She is Garnet and Gray co-editor. Our fair beauty King and Queen are indeed morale builder-uppers. Hats off to the most democratic seniors of L. H. S., Marilyn Hoopes and Frank See! We all admit these two certainly deserve this title. Frank showed his leadership and ability as lunior Class President, member of Student Council, and National Honor Society Presidentg Marilyn proved her's as officer in the Hi-Y and Honor Society, plus title-holder of freshman and sophomore classes. Marilyn was a hockey star, and Frank was a baseball pitcher. Their many friends consider them just about perfect. Democratic is a word covering a lot of terri- tory, but Marilyn and Frank both possess the necessary qualities-for this we admire them. Shirley Lyster Bob Betson lack Bowers Leona Emper Frank See Marilyn Hoopes S PCB VICTORY ln the senior class, the candidates for the best general of the WAACS and the Army are Betty Hamilton and Louis Steinman. Thus the honors fall to these popular students. This year Betty was voted in the Hi-Y and Student Coun- cil. She was a very successful class vice-presi- dent in her sophomore year. She serves as a lieutenant in the Victory Corps. Friendly, cheer- ful Louie is a superior captain in our Victory Corps, having acquired his training for this position at Valley Forge Military Academy. We certainly admire Betty and Louie for the su- perior leadership which they possess. Betty Geary and Dick Shoemaker lead the sophomore class as generals. Indeed, they de- serve their titles, having many friends and ad- mirers. Betty is that cute blond who has made everyone notice her remarkable ability on the basketball court. A cheerful disposition and a Winsome manner are her's. Dick is moving Louis Steinman Betty Hamilton Dick Shoemaker right up the ladder, having Won last year's popular vote also. ln the sports' World Dick is on his toes, and his fame is rising. He was elected to the Student Council this year. The class of '45 has a right to be proud of their generals, Betty and Dick. Last of all, come Audrey Price and David Larson, who are the Well-chosen generals of the freshmen class. The initiative and personality they have shown account for their popularity. They are known and liked very much by every- one, even producing an interest among the upperclassmen. Dave has made an excellent class president, while Audrey has capably held the position of secretary. Audrey has already made outstanding progress on the basketball court. ln Student Council and wrestling Dave has made himself recognized. The best of luck to these two splendid leaders in the remaining years of their high school careers. Betty Geary David Larson Audrey Price The Student Council at L. H. S. has always been a worthy, essential organization and a true representative of a democratic way of life. The council is made up of its officers and repref sentatives from every home room and school activity. These members attend biweekly meet- ings and then report back to the student body on current problems facing the council. Thus everyone has a say in our student government. Some of the functions of this organization are to edit handbooks, to conduct noon activities for lunchetime wanderers, and to sponsor dances after basketball games. Credit for the progress made this year belongs largely to Dick Townsend, president, loan Nuttall, vice- president, Patsy Purse and Virginia Britton, secretariesg and Tom French, treasurer.

The Girls' Hi-Y is one of the most active or- ganizations in the school, One of its first tasks in September is to acquaint the new girls with their unfamiliar surroundings. The Hi-Y tea gives the mothers of newcomers and the va- rious teachers an opportunity to become ac- quainted with each other. Another job for the club is preparing small kits to send to boys in the service at Christmas. The beautiful Yule- tide decorations in the center hall are arranged by the l-li-Yans. The girls also assist in selling the small tuberculosis crosses. During the spring this group sees to it that the rock garden at the side of the school is kept attractive. The president, lane Plattg vice-president, Ioan Nute tall, secretary, Anne Meadeg and treasurer, Marilyn l-loopes, successfully led the Hi-Y.

One of the greatest thrills of the year to the aspiring junior or senior is his election into Lansdownes National Honor Society. This is a rare privilege and must be deserved. Member- ship in this society does not hinge upon out- standing achievement in one particular field but rather on all around accomplishment. The dominant characteristics pertinent to member- ship are Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. The Fathers and Sons Banquet is sponsored by the Honor Society. This is a get-together affair given in the early part of each school year for the benefit of the freshmen students and to aid them in getting acclimated to high school surroundings. The Honors Banquet is also always an impor- tant event in the school year, This banquet is a testimonial to students whose contributions in various fields of activity merit recognition. Particularly outstanding exponents of the four main characteristics forming the founda- tions of the society are its officers. Those elected to these enviable positions this year were Frank See, presidentg Marilyn Hoopes, vice- presidentg Barbara Shaw, secretaryg and Paul Sidle, treasurer.

OUR AGGRESSIVE FREE PRESS The Garnet and Gray, under the sponsorship ot Mr. Louis Gershman, new faculty adviser, and the capable co-editorship of Leona Emper and Mary Beryl Werkheiser, has retained its past high standards and in many ways even surpassed them. A new feature, The G. and G. Newscast, was originated. These editions of the air consisted ot items ot timely interest, edie torials, and jokes. Because ot extensive came paigning, the paper had a wider circulation this season than ever before, and as a patriotic move, copies of each issue were sent to Lans- downe boys in the services. G.

L. H. S. music makers again found pleasure in band, chorus, and orchestra activities, while con- tented listeners learned to understand the charm of melody in the new music appreciation class. Al- though war time measures curtailed a number of inter-scholastic music engagements, Mr. Corbin's prodigees did a fine job of morale building on the home front. This year the band, besides putting zeal in the team at pep rallies and spurring them on at crucial steps in a gridiron contest, helped in the war effort by accompanying departing draftees to the Lansdowne Station. This fine group, with Drum Major Frank Craig heading up, gave Uncle Sam's Lansdowne boys a memorable leave-taking. This year's orchestra, which included a large number of freshmen, successfully added melody to our evening plays and a few assemblies. Their repertoire was varied, including a symphony as well as lighter music, and student conducting was emphasized with Very encouraging results. Future maestros start their careers here. Although District Crchestra was not held on account of the transportation problems, sev- eral of our members represented Lansdowne at State Orchestra, which was held at Indiana, Pa. Our A Capella Chorus, which this year was larger than usual, measured up to previous standards. Snatches of song that float through the air after practice testify to the pleasure these choristers obtain from their work. The A Capella Chorus combined with the orchestra this year in numerous programs. Everyone remembers the lovely Christmas program which the chorus carried off very successfully, accompanied -by the orchestra. The Twentieth Century Club was ntertained by the two groups, solo parts being taken by Rita Everest, Claire Minter, Bob Lonergan, and Tom French. This year's biggest thrill for our orchestra and chorus was a radio broadcast in Q'March over the station WFIL. ln May, the music groups, resplendent in best bibs and tuckers, ex- hibited their accomplishments. The results did credit to Mr. Corbin's patient leadership. Thus does Lans- downe share its song with others. The music roster included this year lovers of melody as Well as par- ticipants, for these former pupils increased their musical knowledge through the new music appre- ciation class. A study was made of American folk music, and the pupils' eager interest proved it a worthwhile project.

CURTAINS GOING UP Anne Dusinberre and Harry Gayley in a scene from The Happy Days The dramatics season commenced with the fall production of Claude Andre Puget's play, The Happy Days. which was presented under the skillful direction of Mrs. Christ. This drama, of French origin, was popular in Europe before the Nazi invasion and has also been received with great favor in this country. Of course, the script which our cast used was a translation. Fanciful Marianne, played by Mary Beryl Werkheiser, and Oliver, by lack Wil- gus, were the leading romancers. Bernard, portrayed by Erdman Wilson, and Per- nette, by Anna Dusinberre, enjoyed a romance until the handsome young aviator Cl-larry Gayleyl appeared on the scene. Each of the girls, including Francine Cen- acted by Claire Minterl believed she was in love with him. There were some very exciting incidents which led to a happy ending for this lively comedy. The success of the play was also due to the splendid work of prompters, stage crew, various com- mittees, ushers, and musical numbers which were played by the Lansdowne High School orchestra under the direction of Mr. Corbin. The class of '43 presented as the annual senior play Ever Since Eve. a gay comedy Written by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements. The cast included the fol- lowing seniors: Tom French as Iohnny Clover, Ioan Nuttall as Susan Blake, Earl Hart as Spud Erwin, Mary Etta Carter as Betsy Erwin, Pat Faulkner as Lucybelle Lee, Stafford Metz as Preston Hughes, Iames Lee as Mr. Clover, Virginia Gill as Mrs. Clover, Mary Beryl Werkheiser as Martha Willard, lack Wilgus as Henry Quinn, and Frank Craig as Officer Simmons. This comedy of youth was the mirthful story of Susan Blake, a career girl, and the troubles which beset those two loyal friends, lohnny Clover and Spud Erwin. Before the curtain fell on the second act, Susan had almost ruined the school newspaper financially, broken the friendship of the two boys, and given them measles. There were also such characters as the high school principal and the pretty journalism teacher, the flirtatious southern girl, the conceited captain of the football team, and the ' Ch 'st merits the highest praise for coaching these successful loquacious sister.

There is a complete, well-rounded course offered here at Lansdowne, consisting of two types of train- ing. These are the wood shop, and mechanical drawing. Workers are busy at their jobs in the wood shop all through the year, and it is not too difficult to tell what season of the year it is by the progress made on their jobs. Hammers, saws, and planers reverberate through the halls in the fall as the struc- ture of the project is being formed. Throughout the winter, melodious sounds of sandpapering, mingled with the last hammering of nails and the smell of glue, indicate projects are nearing completion. ln the spring, odors of paints, varnishes, and stains are wafted about the depths of the school as the finish- ing touches are being applied. Iobs in the wood shop range from whatnots and magazine baskets to bureaus and twin beds. By the end of the year, there is a general rush as proud constructors transport their finished projects to their homes. The blueprint reading course is more valuable this year than ever before. Due to the war, the need for people to understand, draw, and read blueprints has become more essential. The boys in this course will be able to step into a vital career of war time planning and construction. This course is one of many examples of the way our high school has adjusted its curriculum to the needs of a society at war. War industry will be eager to have these well- trained students. The mechanical drawing department is crowded with those prospective engineers who are becoming dextrous in the art of wielding a compass or a pro- tractor and will later become the designers of our ultra-modern airplanes and ocean liners of the future. A rather uncommon sight, but one arousing inter- est, is the group of surveyors setting up their instru- ments and taking careful aim across the piece of land in question. These battlers of the sin, tan, and sec brave the winter's blast but manage to enjoy life as the warmth of spring appears, forcing out the ligrily fogage that is a familiar sight on the grounds o . H. . The industrial arts department is ably headed by Mr. Tammeryn, who is also bearing the brunt of a great amount of the war defense preparation. Dur- ing the course of the year, blueprint reading and wood shop have also been taught by Mr. Means, Mr. Reed, and our present instructor, Mr. Wenzel. Through the war and the peace that follows, tech- nical training will continue to influence the growth of America. It is therefore necessary that we give the industrial arts department the credit it deserves. lack Miller works at the band saw Muschamp, W. Watts, and Mark in wood shop. ., -. ., . .- .fe K! W7 Q!!

The English classes, the library, and the art depart- ment all come under this topic which no high school student can evade. Novels, poetry, short stories, compositions, dramas, subjects, and verbs! What a conglom- eration! Yet all these, plus more, form the basis for a subject known to every Lansdowne High School student. It is called English. Whatever course is taken, English is always included in the curriculum. Beginning with the freshmen, an extensive study of literature down through the ages is made. Although this is a required subject, it should not be drudgery, but instead it should be a source of endless interest and value. By our readings we are becoming ac- quainted with many authors who are worthy of recognition. An understanding of their lives and an appreciation of their works are gained. The oral work accomplished in English helps in acquiring poise and the art of speaking before an audience. This is valuable to pupils not only now but also later in life. By speeches, reports, and readings progress is made toward excellence in oral address. By the writing of themes students' imagination, originality, and ability are displayed and cultivated. Through- out our lives there is a necessity for grammati- cal perfection. Therefore, much guidance and Our school library is a source of endless helpfulness and enjoyment to pupils. Every period of the day, during free time, it is here many students can be found. Under the expert guidance and advice of Miss Sheafer, much work is accomplished. The students do research work, prepare special assignments, read news- papers, look at magazines, or enjoy books from the numerous entertaining shelves. With the splendid selection of all types of reading ma- terial, a bored moment need never be spent. At the close of every school day, there is a frantic rush for the library. Someimes it is for health books, sometimes for other books on reserve. The penalty of two cents a period for reserve material not returned by eight-thirty the following morning is punishment for absent- mindedness. This year, a spacious set of shelves has been a valuable addition in the south end of the library. These shelves extend almost across the room. Among the books to be placed here are professional ones for teachers. Between this addition and the end of the room is a small space which can be used as a conference room. To acquaint students with the use of the library, a course called library science is given to freshmen. Whether or not they realize it, this instruction is invaluable. It is very helpful to know how to use the card catalog, where to find books, and how to look for other reading practice are given in this important phase. matter. Indeed, the library is indispensable.

A cheer for the art students of Lansdowne l-light lt is through their ability and earnest work that much is accomplished around school. To their credit go the decorations for school dances, scenery for plays, and countless posters. Under the skillful direction of Miss Davis, all the artistically inclined high school pupils are instructed. The freshmen launched their careers by learning the fundamentals in design, printing and color. They applied this useful knowledge to attractive posters. The sophomore girls devoted their course to a study of fashions. The first part of the year the junior and senior girls received instruction in the bcsic principles of mechanical drawing, Then the junior girls made a study of interior decorating, and the senior girls studied and made Pennsylvania Dutch pottery. They designed, molded, and decorated plates, titles, bowls, and pins. The boys, except the freshmen, developed the art of cartooning. Also, the junior and senior boys designed and carved stained glass windows. No wonder everyone finds the art department interesting! SCIENCE THE BASIS OE MCDEBN WAB A scientifically minded student on entering Lansdowne High School will be offered a thor- ough course that will lead him into all the phases and wonders of science. His first ac- quaintance with the realms of the unknown and unbelievable will come from a study of general science. This subject teaches the fun- damentals of that which will be studied speci- fically in the following year of scientific educa- tion. The study of biology will be offered the next year and here the student, if no less ambi- tious than before, will be deep in the throes of plants, animals, and their organisms. Biology teaches us the numerous phases of animal life that will benefit a person in better understand- ina himself and the world in which he lives. Advanced biology strikes deeper into the study of this highly interesting and instructive sub- ject. The mysteries of the microscopic world are brought to the students' eyes through the use of lenses, and the organs and their func- tions are carefully studied by the students. The solarium offers a first-hand view of plant and animal life, enabling the pupils to make careful research of the living microorganisms. After a knowledge of the natural sciences has been absorbed, our student is now faced with the prospect of the more advanced sub- jects. Chemistry has long thrown a scare into prospective scientists. lt really isn't so bad, however, and if the student is in the proper frame of mind, it is quite possible that he will find it extremely interesting and will develop no gray hairs in the process. Before the student has progressed far he is quite familiar with the formula HQO. lts elements oxygen and hydro- gen, are quite thoroughly discussed and a periodic chart accompanying this study will aid the student greatly. Valence is always a night- mare to a chem student, but soon he is bal- ancing the most difficult equations with ease. Experiments are an important factor in one's Wille, Purse, Mansure, Krieger, and Huston test commercial products in chemistry, Brusstar, Leight, Gayley, and Reichert gather around Mr. Ep- ley in advanced biology.

'lf French, Shinn, See, and Bowers study delicate scales in physics. Atherholt pours chocolate milk into bab- cock bottle for centrifuging. E French, Plate, and Craig experiment with atmospheric pressure. t chemistry work as the smell of chemicals and the roar of explosions are common to any in- habitant of the laboratory. Closely allied with chemistry, physics is, to the average student, just a course that exists. But to Einstein's ad- mirers, physics becomes the study of numerous principles and theories involved in sound, light, electricity, and related subjects. This year phy- sics is being taught by our newly acquired instructor, Mr. Litwhiler, whose task it is to in- still knowledge into a class of prospective theorists. By the time our student has finished the curricula, he will find himself with a foun- dation for future research. As yet we have given no mention to math, in which training begins after one has learned to count to ten on his fingers and continues on through related angles in trigonometry. Math- ematics is essential to anyone with ambition, Algebra, useful in solving quite simple prob- lems, is imperative when you have a quadratic equation with three unknowns. Between the study of algebra I and ll comes that confusing course of plane geometry. lf the student is able to remember all the theorems the course imme- diately becomes simple. A half-year of solid geometry is now given where one becomes tangled with spheres, cylinders, and the third dimension. Trigonometry produces the climax of the students' mathematical studies covering the six trigonometric functions, their deriva- tions and their uses, as well as the tour systems of measuring angles. And so the student grad- uates, if not a full fledged mathematician, at least an embryo. l Shorthand is a must to all commercial stu- dents. No other subject requires more studying, nor merits more profits for the amount of time spent on it. After the fundamentals of this strange language of curves and angles have been learned, these future secretaries strive for speed and accuracy. Under the supervision of Mr. Kraber, many potential secretaries are born. The students put their shorthand to use not only in their classroom, but also in taking letters from other teachers to help with the various school activities. Speed and accuracy are essential if the would-be secretary wishes to be a success. Under the competent and watchful direction of Miss Lacy and Mr. Kraber, the typewriters are operated by those students who wish to enter the business World. When irregular and Weird sounds come out of the typing room, both faculty members steer the hands and make them firm and adroit. Then there are those who feel that the hunt, hit, and erase system is a theory of operating the machines, but this is far inferior to the more scientific and less haphaz- Beers and Pile put their filing knowl- edge into practice. ., I-1.5 A!

The main object of typing is speed and accuracy. Most pupils acquire this skill and soon become speedy operators at the typewriters, Skillful hands make nimble brains, and the typing classes are crowded With stu- dents Who Wish to follow a secretarial career. Technique, as well as speed and quality, is em- phasized in turning out good typists. Each year, office training covers almost every important phase of office life, and it also pro- duces many gifts to the business World. Under the expert supervision of Miss Lacy the students learn to operate complicated machines With dexterity and correctness and to file accurately. Both the office training and typing students mimeograph notices of all kinds, cut stencils, print units for various classes, and make con- tracts for the high school office. In addition to this, they have their own Work which they must do. These students acquire their speed and accuracy after many hours of practice, and this constant practice is the formula which eventually leads to success. Mr. Kramer's bookkeeping classes Should be of great assistance to both girls and boys. Girls will know how, in later lite, to keep their budgets straight, and thus run their household on a normal and balanced financial basis. Boys will then be able to keep their employer's books correctly and gradually progress until they are big business men. Balancing the books of a corporation or tirm is a job that requires considerable technical training, training that is given to most ot the commercial students. Pupils are given practice in adding long columns of numbers, and they are taught the correct busi- ness torms tor making entries and listing items. Those boys and girls who take this valuable course will find that their budgets will always balance and their company's finances will be kept straight. The students with a knowledge of the ins and outs of bookkeeping will find themselves constantly advancing, In summariz- ing, it can readily be agreed that the commer- cial department is an indispensable part ot our school system. ,fnnyinnsirr if Rapid typists are Durman, Hobbs, Saunders, Robinson, Hetlner, Worthington, Stewart, Galantino, Kelly and Nawn.

Like all other subjects in the curriculum at Lansdowne High, the social sciences have been geared to best meet our war needs Not only do the students learn of the past butlthey kee I I3 up with the present, and also study plans for the future. Through a study of the histor of Y man through the ages, the student can gain a little better understanding of the causes of th e present world situation and can best learn what adjustments will have to be made in th e post-war period to insure a lasting peace.

After this study, it is not difficult to understand what we are fighting for today. An understanding of the profound economic disturbances of the past few years and the complexities of the economic world is more easily grasped by seniors who select econom- ics. The student learns of the problems of capi- tal and labor, international trade and our mon- etary system, and the changes induced by the creation of large corporations. Subjects, rela- tive to today, which call for a lot of discussion are price ceilings, tax plans, and labor unions. The economic problem of manpower is under discus- sion by Mr Drake and seniors Clouser, Bowers, Metz, Krieger Garris, Slater, and Tobin. Westphal leads panel discussion in assembly. Other speakers are Gilmour, Mansure, Stevens, Mann, Rich- ardson and Newman. Much that could have been won by the last war was lost at the peace conference. This was largely due to lack of planning prior to the conference, but today things are different. Many upper classmen have attended meetings of the Civic Forum League at Temple and meetings of the Foreign Policy Association at which were discussed post-war plans and the significance of the Four Freedoms. Thus, it can be seen that, by a study of the past, the present, and the future, the social sciences are best fitting the students of Lans- downe l-ligh to appreciate our endless struggle for freedom and peace throughout the years and to understand why we are fighting today and what we are expected to accomplish in the future.

BETTER HOMES AND HOUSEKEEPERS This year the sewing classes have turned their thoughts to new channels of work. As a patriotic gesture the task of renovating and conserving clothes was stressed. Girls mended and pressed the old clothes, giving them a fresher appearance and making them last lon- ger. Many of the students remodeled old cloth- ing completely and created styles of their own. Pictures were taken showing the before and after stages of the clothes. Besides this, the sew- ing classes also made flags and insignia for the Victory Corps. The girls' and boys' cooking classes did much the same as before, although, with the rationing of various foods, new recipes were introduced eliminating the hard-to-obtain in- gredients, sugarless cookies, for example. The Virginia Nahm explains chart to her consumers' ed- ucation class. Camp and Bierman learn to wait on table while serving Summy, Ayres, and Perez. Valentine, Rose, Buster, Ed- monds, Carroll, and Meade create original chape-aux in millinery. Peacock, Smith, and Milli- gan will be expert seam- stresses soon foods' classes very capably took charge of the annual Home and School Card Party, helped at special lunches, besides teas that were held at school. The culinary art will indeed be useful to the boys as well as the girls in the years to come. The millinery classes were still keeping up with the times by creating fashionable styles in hats. ln times like these it is very profitable to make a new hat from your old one to match your latest outfit. Under the direction of Miss Stevens, the girls fashioned new pieces of mae terial, ribbon, and flowers into creations of their own ideas. lt will never be a problem in the future to any of these girls in wondering how to get a new hat that will be attractive and chic. DISTBIBUTIVE EDUCATION HELPS MEET LABCB CBISIS Kay I-Ieyl makes change for a Horn and Hardart customer. This year, distributive education, a new and different course, was introduced to the students of Lansdowne I-ligh School. A class of sixteen boys and girls was formed under the super- vision of Miss Ankeny. This group had to spend fifteen hours in class work and fifteen or more hours in industry. The aim of distributive edu- cation is to give more efficient help to the busi- ness man and the consumer in retail stores, The business men were very co-operative in the plan, enabling the members to secure their jobs. Subjects included in this course were oral English, commercial math, economics of dis- tribution, and job problems. The subjects were planned to help the workers meet various sit- uations that would confront them in business, Some of the places at which the members of this group were seen working busily were Lit Brothers, I-lennessey's Gift Shop, and I-lorn and I-lardart's. The workers kept the money they earned themselves. The class made a total of about 36,894 The boys and girls made budgets showing just how their money was used. Some bought clothes, others used the money for their homes or opened savings accounts, all were buying war stamps and bonds. The boys and girls took an active part in the Victory Corps and in the various drives held at school. Thus in several ways they were helping the war effort all they could. Although this was a new class, it made great strides and will un- doubtedly go even farther in the future.

FOOTBALL TOPS TWELVE - YEAR RECORD Iordan, Kozziol, Mr. Fischer, and Mc- Rea are proud to have the Old Oaken Bucket, the Underhill Trophy, and the Ridley Park Goal Posts to- gether for the first time. After losing most of the varsity performers of last year, Lansdowne's football prospects were none too bright at the outset of the 1942 season. A harsh blow was dealt to the Lords when, in the second game of the season, Flavian Mas- simo, stellar fullback, was injured and lost to the team, but his shoes were most ably filled by Otto Gregory, who led the team to its best season in a decade with seven wins and two losses. Notable achievements of the season were a thrill-packed, mud-soaked 2-0 win over Upper Darby and a glorious 6-0 win over Swarth- more in the Thanksgiving Day game. The U. D. game was highly exciting to the 1200 adherents of the two teams who braved the elements to see the fray. Although closely contested throughout, the break which both teams had been waiting for came when an U. D. punter fumbled the pass from center and was tackled in his own zone, thus giving Lansdowne's grid- ders a dramatic 2-0 victory, ln winning this game we also captured the Old Oaken Buck- et for the first time in eight years. By triumphs over Swarthmore, first since 1936, and Ridley Park we gathered the other two trophies which are placed in competition between Lansdowne and its rivals. This year's starting crew of grid stalwarts was composed of nine seniors and two juniors who had, for the most part, played together since their freshman year, entering Lansdowne High at the same time as Coach Fischer. Otto Gregory, a guard who was converted into fullback, led the offensive parade and was also a bulwark on the defense. Leo Iordan was an outstanding signal caller and had filled this position on the varsity for three years. Bill Plate and lack Powers adroitly handled the halfback posts, and these positions had capable replace- ments in Pete Larson and Bill Beers. Pete's out- standing performance was an 80-yard, game- winning touchdown sprint against Springfield. The line play of the veteran tackle, Iohn Koz- ziol, as well as that of the other tackles, Dick Cryer and Marland Brenner, was notable. Bob Anderson and lack Bowers handled the end posts, and at the guard positions, Paul Sidle and Tom French did yeoman work. The center position was taken care of by lack McRea, who played sterling ball all year. If one member of this all-star team were to be singled out as a particularly brilliant performer, this should most certainly be lack Bowers, as evidenced by his receiving the coveted Maxwell Club Award. His spectacular, ground-gaining punts have highlighted many games during the last four years, and he certainly deserves his rating as first among suburban kickers as well as being classed along with some of the finest college players. Iudging by the undefeated season which the I. V. team had, next year should find L. H. S. having another successful season. VARSITY SCORES Opp. L. H. S.

S. lack Bowers Bob Lonergcrn lack Powers The Garnet and Gray hoopsters of 1943 displayed great form in producing one of the most successful basketball seasons seen here in many years. Despite the loss of several of last year's stars, the holdovers shaped themselves into winning style to set an enviable record for future Lansdowne basket- eers. An impressive record of twelve decisive victories and only tour losses compiled during the season is evidence of the great accomplishment made by the Kramermen this year. The smooth Lansdowne quintet traveled down to Ridley Township, where the Lords proceeded to wallop them for an opening game triumph. After ushering in the season with such success, our schedule was continued with highlighting wins over the Red Raiders of Radnor, our rival Upper Darby, and a powerful Chester Club. Our league schedule was opened with a decisive victory over the Radnor quintet from Wayne. The fine showing of the Lord Courtmen in this contest gave promise of an excellent season. Chester's defeat by the Lords was the only league setback suffered by the leaders, so the Lansdowne quintet should be given more credit for their ability to come back and win after having once been thoroughly trimmed by the same Chester team. Much the same were our two games with Upper Darby. The boys from U. D. had handed the Lans- downe courtmen an overtime setback in the first of the two games, but the Lords again came back to avenge a bitter defeat. Lansdowne held the lead throughout the first half, but a spirited Purple and Gold rally threatened to bring them from behind to win, until a final lay-up shot gave the Kramermen a thrilling one-point, last-minute victory. The sad point of the season was our loss to a tall, well-balanced Radnor team more powerful than the one that we previously had contended with. The Lords were definitely not on that night and, there- fore, succumbed by a not-too-close margin. The other games of the season produced pairs of victories over Media, Colling- dale, Darby, and Clifton Heights. Many anxious moments were experienced by the Garnet and Gray team when their lead was threatened by a hard-fighting opponent. Such a contest was the second game with Media, which produced a thriller when the score was evened up with a minute to play. A spir- ited rally by the Lansdowne basketeers, however, bagged the game in the closing seconds, Our annual tough game with Darby was played, and our non-league struggles with a poten- tial Clifton Heights club were again chalked up as victories. Point after point was tallied against the dribblers from Colling- dale as the Kramermen reigned supreme and emerged with wide margins of victory. Mr. Kramer, who did a superb job 70 OUR QUINTETTE SETS A WORTHY RECORD of shaping up this years ball club, de- serves much credit for one of the most successful teams he has produced in his six years of coaching here at Lansdowne High. Disappointing was our loss to Colling- dale in the Kiwanis tournament, which re- sulted in our early elimination from the contest, Having twice decisively defeated the Collingdale ball club, our boys were perhaps a trifle overconfident and too anxious for victory. The Lansdowne courtmen this year produced a well-rounded team which functioned smoothly together. No one player was totally responsible for the suce cess of the team, but the names of Bowers, this year's high scorer, Tank Cryer, a tricky pivot shooter and field goal expert, Ragga fordon, with his famous dead- eye set shots, and the junior combination of Lonergan and Powers were constantly coming to one's attention for dependabil- ity and brilliance throughout the season, This line-up of regulars was ably assisted by the faithful reserves, namely Marion, Tones, Waite, Anderson and Kozziol. The I. V. experienced a fine season, emerging with a record of twelve wins and three defeats. This club, paced by Mayer, Shoemaker, E. lordon, Beers, King, Locker, and Engle, will undoubtedly make an excellent showing as next year's varsity. We can well be proud of our boys as the curtain is lowered on a most suc- cessful basketball season. Mr. Kramer, Coach, and Zeldan Rentz, Manager.

Led by their captain and district cham- pion, Flavian Massimo, they chalked up three straight wins before being defeated by an arch enemy, Cheltenham. The winning position was recovered in meets the following week by de- feating both Valley Forge Military Academy and Hill School. Next was Abington with Lans- downe again on top. A totally unpredicted de- feat was handed us by Lower Merion. The Dis- trict Tournament was held at Lansdowne. Mos- simo again come through in the 165 lb. class. Those who won through to the finals were Bob Schell in the 120 lb. class, Pete Larson in the l38 lb. class, and Otto Gregory in the l85 lb. class. These were all outstanding performers. Among others contributing to the fine record were seniors Ioe Mullin, lohn Griffiths, Bill Humphreys, Earle Hart, ond Marland Benner. The team attributes its great success to the friendly guidance of Coach Horner, who con- tinually inspired them to work for better per- formance through his astute instruction and timely pats on the back. TWIRLERS THRIVE Under the capable leadership of Coach Hor- ner, the diamond squad prepares to go into its second war season. With nine lettermen return- ing, it is certain last year's nemesis of inex- perience will be overcome. Captain Frank See will handle the pitching along with lim Parker, a newcomer, Ken King, Frank Craig, and Nor- man Cochran of last years freshman team. The veteran Ray Koedding will take over be- hind the plate. The outfield will consist of three lettermen, Frank Craig, Otto Gregory, and George Hemphill. Bill Grace will bolster the pickets. The infield situation is not settled, but there are several experienced performers. Bill Beers will probably hold down the keystone position, working side by side with Ken King at shortstop. At the far turn will be Dick Town- send, and at first it will be lim Mayer, Rodney Bosbyshell, or Bernie Gorman. Zeldan Rentz will be on hand as utility man along with new- comer Dick Oliver and Bob Davis. So here are the prospects for the l943 season: plenty of experience and skill.

With the return of five lettermen and expert coaching of Mr. Griffin, the retaining of the championship seems assured. This year's racketmen will be led by Captain-elect Bob Betson, who has not lost a league match during his two years as o varsity player. Leo Iordan, who is also unde- feated, will return to the team after a year's abf sence due to injury. Reid Cordier, Stafford Metz, Ed Iordan, and Dick Betson are the other lettermen from last year's team who will see plenty of action. Freshmen lack Webb and Dave Hopkins should also help make Mr. Grif- fin feel confident about this season. Last year's team poduced a great record, winning the suburban championship. Only two individual matches were lost, while not one team match was dropped to any opponent. The Lords de- feated Upper Darby for the second straight year. Bob Betson added even further glory to the season when he went to the state tourna-A ment and won the P. l. A. A. singles' crown. This certainly was the perfect climax to a great tennis season. A lot is expected from this year's team of skilled veteran players and a lot should happen. With last year's record to spur them on, this year's team should make Lansdowne High proud of them.

The hockey schedule was greatly reduced by the lack of bus transportation, only three games were played: Upper Darby, Haverford, and Swarthmore. The team played excellent defen- sive hockey, but was unable to click offensive- ly. However, all the scores were very low, dif- fering by no more than one or two points. The opponents' scores would probably have been higher if it hadn't been for the spirited playing of those girls on the backfield. Ioan Nuttall, who was one of the liveliest varsity members, received the cup for the player most valuable to the team. The Iunior Varsity squad didn't have a very successful season either this year. Still, this team had a lot of capable material to make up a good varsity team for next year. This year, more girls reported for hockey than ever be- fore, altogether there were l25 candidates. This group practiced until late October when the varsity stick swingers were chosen and started their season. Even though the hockey season was not quite so successful as was hoped, every one of the girls put forth a lot of effort and tried her best to win. We're looking for- ward to our next year's team, hoping they will have plenty of victories and very few defeats. The basketball season did not produce as many victories as was hoped. The team was able to play its regular schedule of eight games, winning two and losing six. Again, as in hockey, defensive playing was good, the attack was weak. Timing, accuracy, and speed seemed to be lacking in the team, but their spirit to win never left them during the season. Pat Purse was awarded the most valuable player cup. Annette Danenhower made quite a number of points for the team, lean Tobin was known for her long shots, while Elsie Smith was a real ball hawk. Dolores Carr, Pat Purse, Cheerleaders: Bressler, Nuttall, Sears, Werkheiser, Fielding, Sycamore, Henry. fri! and Mary Beryl Werkheiser, the guards, also had their moments of glory which provided much excitement for the home crowds. Iudging by the fine playing of the I. V. prospects for next year's varsity are good. Betty Geary, Ade- laide Longacre, and Audrey Price played out- standing basketball for their team and show promise of becoming stars of the future. The I. V. will feel the loss of veteran seniors who formed the backbone of this year's team, how- ever, Mrs. Macky can expect great things from many of the underclassmen. Inter-class basket- ball hit a new high this year. The freshman team showed plenty of interest, while the sophs displayed vigor. The juniors proved they had a knowledge of the finer points of the game, but the seniors showed the results of four years' experience. Good luck to next year's teams! This year, our tennis team has promising players. We can expect to see things happen when this proficient squad goes into action on the courts. These girls displayed plenty of talent on last year's team, especially known for their tournament playing were Annette Dan- enhower and Shirley Lyster. Several under- classmen also showed promises of becoming assets to this squad. All in all this group was quite capable of producing a good record. A successful season is in prospect.
