s UE, Im. C4p,.AIN L E A 1 UTHER R UE ' EARTH dicated In the glare of war's mighty scourge, seven members of Lower Merion's Senior High School faculty have come to realize that the privileges of a free people are not undeniable, as air and light, and that the price of holding them may be very high--so high, indeed, that it can be aiorded only by a nation in which every individual is resolved that the price is part of his personal obligation. Having entered full-time service for Uncle Sam are Lieu- tenant fj.g.J Jean E. Francis, guidance adviser at Lower Merion, now a member of the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Serv1ce,and Captain Luther R. Barth, former science teacher and assistant football and wrestling coach, who is the Provost Marshal at Camp Flora, Missis- sippi. Spanish mentor and assistant basketball coach Lieu- tenant W. Robinson Heard is an instructor at the Adjutant General's School, University of Mississippi. Now stationed as band director with the 216th Coast Artillery at San Francisco, California, is our one-time vocal music tutor, Warrant Officer Gerald H. Woerner. Private Anthony Della Rezza, former assistant J. V. football coach, bowling club sponsor, and Spanish teacher, is serving at Camp Davis, North Carolina, in the Post Headquarters Classification Department. Corporal James B. Davis, who served with the infantry at Aberdeen, Maryland, has been honorably discharged, and has resumed his former position with us as physics instructor. With the 314th Field Artillery at Camp Forest, Tennessee, is our art teacher, Sergeant Thomas Ryder. To you seven members of our school family, who are resolved to help win the war and to create and uphold lasting peace which will justify the sacrifices and suffering of the victims of aggression, We, the Class of 1943. dedicate this ENCHIRIDION. cis

ore vord . . . Somewhere in every machine of this modern day there are vital mechanisms known as gears, which, functioning accurately, operate the machine. In Lower Merion the different departments may be likened to gears: the individuals, to the teeth of the gears. All gears must work together striving toward their common purpose, the production of a product. ln Lower Merion the product is the pupils, who are being turned out into the world, moulded into clear-thinking Americans by the finely meshed gears, the different departments of the school. The student is fashioned through instruction in the classroom, tooled further by the excellent opportunities on the athletic field. and given an added polishing by participation in clubs. We hope that in this yearbook you will be able to catch a glimpse of the innermost parts of this delicate yet powerful machine: that you will be able to see the finely oiled gears meshing smoothly together: and that. therefore. you may be better able to understand the quality of Lower Merion and its students.
