ARE PRUUD TO BE AMERICANS THE AMERICAN SCHOOL The main sail of our ship of state is the school, for therein lies the hope of our nation. What We are taught and how We are taught is all important. No American youth leaves the school Without possessing a thorough knowledge of the history, the principles and the incal- culable blessings of American liberty. Here the boys are educated to be the trained soldiers of Constitutional freedom, and the girls, the intelligent lovers of free men. VVE HONOR OUR FRIENDS OF THE STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF THIS ARE SERVING IN THE ARMED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In answer to our nation's call for men, many stu- dents, teachers, and alumni of Mars High became part of Uncle Sam's great fighting forces-active on land, in the air, and on the sea. These boys, and millions of others like them, are today fighting, and perhaps dying, in many parts of the World, so that We may retain the democratic principles We have had since the signing of our Declaration of Independence. With the prayer in our hearts that the Work of these Valiant armed men may not be in Vain, We dedicate this 1943 publication of 'The Planet.

Cllatlin What was his creed? I do not know his creed, I only know That here below, he walked the common road And lifted many a load, lightened the task, Brightened the day for others toiling on a weary way: This, his only meedg I do not know his creed. What was his creed? I never heard him speak Of visions rapturous, of Alpine peak, Of doctrine, dogma, new or old: But this I know, he was forever bold To stand alone, to face the challenge of each day, And live the truth, so far as he could see - The truth that evermore makes free. His creed? I care not what his creedg Enough that never yielded he to greed, But served a brother in his daily need, Plucked many a thorn and planted many a flower, Glorified the service of each hour, I-Iad faith in God, himself, and fellow-men, Perchance he never thought in terms of creed, I only know he lived a life, in deed! illliemnrium fur Br. A- N. Elurting It sometimes happens that two friends will meet, And, with a smile and touch of hands, again C10 on their way along the noisy street. Each is so sure of all the friendship sweet, The loving silence gives no thought of pain. And so, I think those friends whom we call dead Are with us. It may be some quiet hour, Cr time of busy work for hand or head- Their love fills all the heart that missed them so. They bring a sweet assurance of the life Serene, above the worry that we know, And we grow braver for the comfort brought Why should we mourn because they do not speak Our words that lie so far below their thought? -3-l First Row, left to right: Mrs. Caroline Whitehill Grove City College, B,S.

Flags are flying, banners waving, and crowds cheering the celebrities as they enter the Hotel Caylor for the seventeenth annual reunion of the Class of '43. Greeting their old classmates at the door we find Wallace Caylor, owner of the hotel, and Alice Sheridan, featured singer with Ermine', Kramer and her All-Male Orchestra, who will furnish the musical entertainment for the event. Let us step inside and view the gathering more closely. The Mars Press is well represented by its editor, Jean Crea, who is accompanied by her brother Bob, junior meteorologist from Wash- ington, D. C. At the table with Miss Crea are Marion Fleming and Jean Purvis, assistant edi- tors, Hilda Richards, and Viola Scharf and Chris- tine Yurko, society columnists. A Hash of light!-and we see Bob Fredley, head photographer of the Davis News Photos, Inc., and his boss, Mae Davis, taking pictures of the unusually large gathering. Listenl Do you hear those cheers? Someone of importance evidently is arriving. Yesl-here come those two superb movie stars, Jack Gardner and Angela Giallombardo, and the director of their latest film, uCupid's Capersf' Jack Little. Angela is wearing a beautiful gown designed by Violet Flaig and Mary Ellen Herbert, and is accompa- nied by several other famous stars, Ethel Moon and Bob Morris, who has his newly-gained wife, Esther Wittmer, with him. The girls' hair styles are beautiful, the credit for which goes to Roberta Pinkerton, who just entered with Phyllis Kirschler, sound effects manager at the Don Park Studios. The dinner is now being served, and by the looks of the guests, faces, it certainly must be good. Possibly because it has been prepared by Martha McPherson and Anna Krunosky. Let us glance about the room and see who is here. There in the far corner are Margaret Gibson, famed tobacco auctioneer, Jane Kirschner, owner of the largest spaniel kennels in Pleasant Hills, and the founder of Knox cosmetics, Lois Knox. At an ad- joining table we catch a glimpse of William Selle, production chief at Kaiser shipyards. Lt. Com- mander Russell B. Cooper of the United States Navy, and Lee Smith, better known to many as a modern Walter Winchell. The guest speakers of the evening are Jane Andrew, great scientist, who has recently discov- ered the ninety-third element in her private lab- oratory, and Rita Joe Fanto, author of How to Make Book Reportsf, best-seller among high school students of today. While they are speak- ing, let me tell you of the few who were unable to be here tonight: Doreen Conner has returned to the land of the shamrock, and Ensign Backderf and Bonnie Dobson are honeymooning aboard a private yacht. Betty Yeakle, visiting friends in North Africa. Robert Kennedy, internationally known pianist, on a concert tour. Wanda Jean Hager and Dorothy Urick, living on their ranch in Arizona. Jean Miller, missionary to Japan. Elfrieda Rummer and Charles Utz fnow Mr. and Mrs. Utzl are sitting at the speakers' table with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lewis, Mrs. Lewis being the former Emma Kennedy. Ralph owns a large sugar plantation in Cuba, where he has as fore- man George Shrewsbury, and as trained workers, Ken Creese and Ed Hartley. Also, Dorothy Ken- nedy, Professor of Foreign Languages at Catawba, N. C., and Doctor George Hood. Among others present at this dinner of dinners are Margaret Clinton, star of the 1960 lce Follies, and her sister-in-law, Ruth Farringer. The latest paintings of Miss Ladebu are now on display in New York under the title l'Sketches by Lorrainef' That famous football pro, Harry Allendar, is en- joying himself with the new dance team, Buffone and Whiteside.

Doris Forsythe has established another speed typing record while working for the Rowan Racing Shell Co., and soon expects to join the Women's Marine Corps. Sara Jane Fuhr is majorette of the XVAMS band, and is assisted by Genevieve Hop- per. And now the class reunion of 1960 has come to a close. The crowd is thinning slowly, as these tired but happy members of the class of '43 sep- arate for another year.

They were duly initiated into our midst by the Juniors on No- vember Hrst, and thereafter proved themselves worthy of Mars High, Realizing that they must be unified, they elect- ed: Robert Gabosch as president, Bob Wensel, secretary, and Eleanor Ferguson, treasurer. Under the guidance of these students, they held dances and skates for the rest of the student body and thus ended their roll as Freshmen with a good start in M. H. S. When they came back in the fall of '41, they were a much more determined group. They had things set before them and they had to work hard. For that term they elected: Jack Penney, president, Bob Wensel, vice president, Louis Lehm, secretary, and Bud Brooks, treasurer. Once more they held dances and skating parties and en- larged their treasury from their Freshman year. During their Freshman year, a few ventured in- to the sports activities of the school, but during their Sophomore year there were many more. Ches Walters made the varsity team. Several made good on the Junior varsity. Also, the girls, basket- ball team had new prospects in girls of Richland Township. They, too, proved themselves good sports and were an asset to Mars High. When the year ended they had prospered both financially and educationally, as Sophomores. Their Junior year brought new hopes and new thoughts in various phases. Some Junior boys as well as girls, found cupid around the corner, and thus there was a sparkle of romance intermingled with studies. Qnce again they elected class officers and this year they were: Jack Penny, president, Jean Wightinaim, vice president, Mary Ann Houck, secretary, and Bud Brooks, treasurer. These peo- ple, along with various committees, led the class through a very successful year. With their Junior year went the Junior Play, and at last each had an equal chance to try their acting ability. Their play, Strangers at 1-lomef' under the direction of Miss Patton, displayed out- standing talent and character portrayals long to be remembered. A matinee was held for the bene- fit of the student body on December third. The production was also given on the evenings of De- cember third and fourth and proved a great suc- cess, and liked by all. They also had dances and various activities to raise funds for the Jr.-Sr. Prom and Banquet. These activities brought entertainment for the student body and were greatly appreciated by everyone. The Juniors had Rooms E, G and 1-1 as their home rooms, and from these doors came talent displayed in all lines of sports. The Juniors were well represented on the football field as well as the basketball floor, and all displayed good sports- manship. Thus the book is closed on their third year in Mars High. As it goes without saying, this class has stood up to all standards, and we sincerely hope its Senior year is as prosperous as its first three have been. To this class we wish all the luck that can be found in this world of war and turmoil. Q24 -- Adams, Bill Baldinger, Lois Bartello, Twila Bartley, Glenna Bergman, Lela Beyer, Neverta .

Last year these stu- dents saw their first high school life on September sixth, as they diligently went to work on their various studies and activities. Now they are Soph- omores, upperclassmen, as they like to be called, gaining more dignity and pride as they go for- ward each year. For the first year they had as their able lead- ers: Dave Norton, president, Irene Yusko, vice president, Betty I-lohmann, secretary, and Charles lVfarbu:'gei, treasurer. With their guidance, these pupils held skating parties and other activities showing their interest in their new school life. They also had members of the class who partici- pated in other activities such as basketball and football-Rich Kitzer and Bob Kennihan. They ended a very successful year as Freshmen, but decided that they would need about a three- month vacation before taking their place as Soph- omores, which they got. Again in September they put aside thoughts of their joyous vacations, and turned all thoughts to school again. It was hard to get adjusted after vacation, but they decided that if they were to be future leaders of our country, they would really have to buckle down and get to work. At their first meeting this year they elected new officers to help them carry on the new business of Q26 the year. Dave Norton must have proved his great ability last year, because this year he was chosen as president of his class. Bob Kennihan was chos- en vice president, Betty Campbell, secretary, and Florence Cooper, treasurer. The members of the class grew to be better liked by the rest of the students, as they contributed individually and col- lectively toward the future. Our basketball team still held as two of its good players, Rich Kitzer and Bob Kennihan, who will probably prove to be an even greater asset to the team in their remaining two years. In order to make money, they have had skating parties despite rationing, and usually had pretty good turnouts. Next year they will be taking their places as Juniors of Mars High. What a day when they'll be Juniors and only have one more year to go. It seems as though all classes have been work- ing under a disadvantage because of such trying times, but we are sure the Sophomores as well as the rest of the students will prove equal to the jobs before them which must be done thoroughly and wholeheartedly. Boys and girls of understand- ing and learning will be needed to take the ranks of those who precede them, so all of Mars High joins in wishing the Sophomores of 1943 the best of luck and a most brilliant future.

After eight long years of struggling we reached the gates of Mars High School. To some of us high school meant fun, to some it meant sadness, but to most of us it meant knowledge and happi- ness. To the amusement of the school, we were in- itiated one fine October afternoon. The boys were attired in knee trousers, shirts on backwards, hair ribbons, and makeup. The girls were in short dresses, curlers in their hair, and no makeup. Naturally, the girls didnat look so well without makeup, but they went only one day like this. I-lowever, we proved we were not cowards at heart. After a few weeks of making friends, we elected the following officers: Q President .. .... Sally Cuddyre Vice President ,, , Ralph Jones Secretary .Bill Ebel Treasurer , . Jean Sirney We are sure the upperclassmen did not find us hard to like for we were honest and industrious in all our work. As our last few weeks as Freshmen draw to a close, we are sorry but happy. We are consoled by the thought that others will now look up to us, as we look up to the higher classes. As Uljresh- ies,', we say goodbye. -2g..

The making of a yearbook was found to be quite different from anything the Seniors had met before, but they were willing to learn. Under the excellent guidance of Mr. F. Gregory, who has become better known to most Mars High students as Pat,', the Senior class has made available what is considers a commendable piece of work. First under consideration in the preparation of such a school annual is the selection of the gen- eral theme and an appropriate cover for the book. Then comes the picture-taking. Remember how you used to hope that your particular club or chorus would be called in the right class, anyhow, not study hall-you wouldn't get out of anything Planet Dust Every once in a while the ucreamu of the jour- nalistic minded of Mars High School gathered in Room J during Wednesday morning activity per- iod to receive their Planet Dust assignments. As a rule the assignments were far from being easy, so the faculty advisers, Miss Nicely and Miss Paulisick, were constantly called upon for their able assistance. Much credit goes to our editor, Jean Crea, as well as to the other staff members for creating successful editions of our publica- tion. Quite a bit of responsibility was put on the shoulders of the capable and efficient staff mem- bers and the news was assembled readily. The materialization of an edition of the Planet Dust took plenty of work. All members of the staff came through with flying colors and their tireless efforts made our newspaper something to look forward to. When the publications were ready to be sold, each home room reporter went to the office at noon to receive the alloted number of papers to sell. Upon reaching his room, he found there unless you happened to be the type who works. Finally, there are the write-ups, which help make the book complete-the witty bits that utick- le your funnyboneu and the factual information about your favorite class. During these busy moments, the publication must be placed on sale, for what good is there in making a book if there is no one to buy it? The staff wishes to thank each and everyone for their cooperation. This Planet will be your remembrance of the Class of ,43. In it you will find facts and fiction concerning your pals and theirs, pictures of your favorite classes, and some of those forever loved jokes-old and new. Here. you will retain the memory of your teachers and the school board. With great pride, we, the Senior Class, present the Planet of ,43. himself a very popular person. From every corner nickels came rushing at him and another Planet Dust left its perch on his arm. Students usually couldnit wait until they settled down at their desks to turn to the Ill Wind columns to read the latest interests of pupils. The lll Wind was very popular and a Dusty Poll every other edi- tion found favor with the student body. Some of the Dusty Polls held were: To find the favorite Christmas carol, a gift yould least appreciate, and the popularity contest poll. The majority of stu- dents found their names in our paper at one time or another and this fact sold more Planet Dusts. Who doesn't like to see his or her name in print? Thanks to the teachers, student body, and staff, we can say that once more we have sold all the Planet Dusts expected. Although plenty of work was required, the entire staff enjoyed publishing c-ur Planet Dust. Our paper has once again set an example, so all we can say to those who will take over in the future is 'QKeep up the good workf' -31- Commercial Arithmetic Every day, the third period, approximately twenty-five Sophomores gather in Room C to face forty-five minutes of pencil chewing and hard mental work, trying to work correctly problems of cash discounts, interest, profit and loss, buying and selling, and manufacturing. Some days speed tests are given in addition, subtraction, multipli- cation, and division. Not only speed but accuracy is taken into consideration. Some of the more difficult problems, ones that the 'imathematical wizards of the class fail to work correctly, are put on the blackboard and then the entire class cooperates in completing the problem. Pupils in the class solve problems that they will come into contact with in their own everyday lives. The guiding star,H under whose willing cooperation and friendly attitude the students bloom forth in all their glory, is Miss Olive Paulisick. Home Economics Ah, yes, here's the department where the girls learned the way to a manis heart. Do you remem- ber the good aromas which wafted through the halls and fairly made your mouth water as you asked What's cookin'? That was Miss Kirk- wood's classes preparing something super-special. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the Sophomores helped prepare and serve cafeteria and they cer- tainly made a swell job of itl They specialized in luncheon and main course dishes such as soups, salads, cake, etc. The Freshman girls learned everything about breakfast foods-muffins, cer- eals, and cooked fruits. Miss Kirkwood also taught Tg ping Class Typists, typists, typists, everyone is clamoring for typists, The government and many business firms are very much in need of typists, so our school is helping supply some of them. M-iss Nicely, the new typing teacher, has proved herself very capable of teaching our typing classes. In March, the average speed for a first year stu- dent was about twenty-five words a minute, how- ever, there were a few who topped that with any- where from thirty-eight to forty-two. The second year students should average about fifty-five words a minute. -32 This particular subject is said to be rather a tough one to pull through, but all those in the class have shown interest in the work and have tried to solve all the different types of problems. They can go onward, confident of their ability to do any mathematical problem that deals with any of the things they learned in Commercial Arithmetic class. During the last nine weeks of the course the introduction to shorthand is taught. This particu- lar nine weeks of study is Q'Exploratory Short- handf, Oh, the difficulty of making those funny looking lines correctly! This basic shorthand helps the student to decide definitely if he or she is go- ing to continue with shorthand in the Junior year. After extensive practice, they soon become adept at writing the characters as they should be written. them how to make the food more palatable by having it daintily and attractively served. The greater part of the school year they worked with the sewing machines, learned to do some handstitching, and became better acquainted with the various styles and color combinations which best suited the different types of individuals. The Freshmen started by making skirts. A11 their Work was done in class. The girls of the upper classes made dresses or other garments. Both the sewing and the cooking proved to be very interesting as well as helpful. In order to get rhythm into typing, a victrola was sometimes used, and We typed to such tunes as ustardustv and i'Washington Post Nlarchf' The best brands of typewriters were used, and with the careful use by the students and the watch- fulness of the teacher, not too many repairs have been needed. Wie are taught to do such things as centering letters, straight copy drill work, and centering material horizontally. We are sure that under the able supervision of Miss Nicely we shall be able to turn out a great many typists who will be a credit wherever they go. i , 5 Y- S NN T g ' ff-Q, ' - x - V 1 ..33,,, X Freshman English The second period English class, composed of Freshmen, convenes at 10:15 each school morning in Room I. During the forty-five minute period the teach- er, Mr. Hardy, explains all the essential funda- mentals of grammar in order that his proteges might acquire a better comprehension of the more complex details of the American language. Using a quotation from one of the studentis essays, might help you to better understand their accomplishments, so with the student's permis- sion, we quote: Undoubtedly, much of the quarreling, bicker- ing, confusion, and strife in this world is due to peopleis inability or unwillingness to express them- selves sincerely, clearly, accurately and fully. Shop Bang! Bang! Bang! Yes, to coin an old phrase, You hit the nail on the head, while our ener- getic shop student hit his finger! But that was be- fore the entrance of Mr. Smith. After a brief period, the first aid kit was discarded. Mr. Smith has introduced a new method where students must use their individual ideas rather than use a commercial pattern. The boys enjoy this immensely. After a rigid inspection, the ideas for wooden pot holders, and tables, and other handicraft that grace the homes of students, is launched. The results make fathers beam while they proudly show Jimmy's latest achievement. The boys are very much interested in mechani- cal drawing. The field is interesting, to say the least, and offers many opportunities to those who Record Keeping Do you have your workbook up-to-date? Did you do your homework? These are some of the questions we might have overheard upon dropping in on the second period Record Keeping Class. Under the supervision of Mrs. Whitehill, these Juniors struggled through another year of a math- ematically inclined subject. This subject covers personal records and records of professional men. It is something on the order of bookkeeping. The Moreover, most ideas are either expressed in words or are valueless because they are unex- pressed. The painter, sculptor, and the musician express their ideas in pictures, statuary and music. Most people, however, who wish to transport their ideas or feelings, employ speech or writing. In the intellectual world conversation is as important as railroads and trucks are in the world of com- merce. This student has undoubtedly acquired a knowl- edge of essay writing and owes his achievement to Mr. Hardy, his teacher. From reports of the students, the class is an enjoyable one and the students' only wishes are to continue under Mr. I-Iardy's guidance in Sopho- more English. have initiative to pursue the art. Even though a minute part of the course is given, it serves as an appetizer to acquaint boys with the subject, and from the part given, boys who are enterprising students find the shaping of a career unfold! For the more experienced boys, metal work makes up a part of their shop course. They learn how to cast molds and from all comments heard hither and yon, they certainly do enjoy their work. They have fun, too, and are doing commendable work. Students in Room I are often startled and be- lieve they are in a butcher shop when they hear a loud, screech of a Umeat grindernl That is not a meat grinderf' but an electric saw! No casualties either! With untiring eH:ort, Mr. Smith has made this year a success. purpose of this subject is to give the student a basic understanding of business relationships and a simple, acceptable way of keeping records of these dealings and activities. The material of this subject has been chosen from actual life situations and leads the students from his most simple per- sonal and social activities to the more complicated business activities. We are sure everyone has en- joyed this subject, and we are positive it will be helpful in some way in their future days. French Club Fermez les livres, s'il vous plaid This phrase is put into daily usage by Miss Lehm, instructor of the French language here at Mars. At this command, sly glances are made towards books and papers, with hopes of gaining some wee bit of knowledge before plunging into the daily quiz. Because All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,H the group again organized this year as Les Amis de La France,', with the following offi- cers: Le President, Robert Kennedy, Vice Presi- dent, Elfrieda Rummer, Le Secretaire, Jane An- drew, and Le Tresorior, Russell Cooper. After Bob left for Pitt and Russ joined the Navy, El- frieda Rummer became president and Wally Cay- lor was elected treasurer. After last year's initiation meeting, the new members eagerly awaited their opportunity to do Latin Club Tn September, ten not too ambitious, yet willing, Juniors and Seniors fell into the abyss of Latin TIT, under the very capable leadership of Miss Lambert. A mere glance at the Latin textbook nourished dubiousness on the part of all, but they went onward. During their many weeks of tough sledding these determined students stumblingly plodded through Sallust, Cicero, and worst of all, Latin grammar. But it was not all work, for the class organized as Q'Societas Latina,', and had sev- eral enjoyable social meetings, including an initia- tion of new members from the Latin II class. At these meetings talks were given by members of the club, concerning the Roman government, peo- ple and their customs, Latin records such as uAdeste Fidelisn and Ave Marian were played, and the members thoroughly enjoyed the Latin games. A part of the curricula were the projects made by both second and third year classes. These Home Ee. Club The I-lome Economics was a very active organ- ization this year under the leadership of Miss Kirkwood. Miss Kirkwood helped the club along throughout the year with her beneficial advice. There are fifty members in this club consisting of Juniors and Seniors. The club started at the be- ginning of school in September to furnish its services to the student body. The financial part of the club was greatly increased by cake and candy walks, selling soft drinks and ice cream at noon and by charging admission to basketball games at noon. The cakes and candy were made by girls in the club and they were all quite utastyf, Due to the gas situation of this year, we were unable to hold meetings in the evening but held a meeting once a month on Wednesday morning. Nor could we plan any social events in the eve- the initiating. Their hopes were fulfilled this year when French II students, who were not already members, joined the society. Until gas rationing went into effect, meetings were held at various homes, but when the gas tanks were empty, they met in the Home Ec room once a month during activity period. Because of this, the club was not as active as in previous years. During February, a party was held in honor of Russell Cooper, at which many guests were in attendance. Everyone had a good time playing ping pong, shuffle board and darts. Songs echoed through the night, as friends departed after a joyous evening. To the French I students who will form the nucleus of next yearls Les Amis de La Francef, we wish many hours of fun and relaxation midst the French customs and conversation. included scrolls, soap carvings, models of Caesar's bridge across the Rhine, a model Roman library, a drawing propounding the mottoes of these United States, many of which are Latin, and many other excellent pieces of work which were publicly ex- hibited. But Latin had its minor difficulties. Will several of our so-called dignified Seniors ever forget how they frequently fell in and out of Miss Lambert's good graces by not appearing in class, because some educated 4-F was telling them how nice a certain college is, and how little it costs to attend? Will several brilliant people ever disremember how helpful a translation for Cicero's Oration can be? However, taking everything into consideration, there is not one member of the class who can say he has not learned something useful. Many thanks! Miss Lambert, for a very profitable and enjoyable year! nings as we did last year. The annual banquet usually held at the end of the school year was cancelled this year due to the increased cost of food and the problem of transportation. Along the line of victory, the club, together with the G. A. A., presented a flag in honor of the Mars High students in the service of our country. The club also helped serve cafeteria twice a week to the student body. Cafeteria provided a nourishing meal during the coldest months of the year. December, January and February. The cooperation of the members was grand and very considerate. The club officers were: Ruth Aileen Gray, president, Adele Buffone, vice presi- dent, Joan McKain, secretary, and Lois White- side, treasurer. ....37..q Girls' Ggm Classes :'One, two, bend four, this is a remedy for avoirdupoisln I-lave you noticed all of our fair sex, who used to border on the obese side, now sporting trim figures? This was made possible through the efforts of our capable gym teacher, Miss Andrew. Miss Andrew's primary objective has been to create a suppleness of body, an ability to take command, and all in all, physical development. At first the results were a series of aches, pains and ua run on liniment, but soon the girls found that they were quite adept at this business of calisthen- ics. They found they could touch their toes with- out even having a misplaced vertebra! There was fun, no end, when the girls were in- troduced to uwandsvl What perfect unison, when they mastered the art of keeping the wands over- head, rather than on their head! Miss Andrew has the knack of making work seem like play. The Commando type of races proved very suc- cessful in building fine, physical development, and a keenness of mind. They were taught to overcome obstacles, mainly chairs, by going through them! The importance of a physical fitness program was stressed by various speed races and mat work. Basketball season proved quite successful, as nearly everyone executed their skill. The same can be said of volleyball. It teaches a sense of fair play and sportsmanship. To comply with our Military Regulation Board, it was not uncommon to hear tramp, tramp, the girls are marchinglu They are a credit to the school and would pass any rigid inspection if they joined any of the branches of service for women. Practice makes perfect, but look at the results. At first it was difficult for them to differentiate be- tween a command for right face,', and a com- mand for left face. It proved monotonous to look at their partner all the time, so to avoid con- fusion, and monotony, they mastered the com- mands. ln addition to tournaments, folk dancing was introduced, as well as outdoor Held activity. Our school year was most eventful. The girls enjoyed the new types of games that were intro- duced to them, commendably. Through the un- tiring efforts of Miss Andrew, the whole program was quite successful. -331 The G. A. A. The G. A. A. was organized in 1937 by Miss Glenn and consisted of 25 members. Ir has now increased in its membership considerably since its organization, the membership this year being 60. A new constitution was written this year stating that the limited number of members for the club would be 60, consisting of 20 Sophomores, 20 Juniors, and 20 Seniors. The purpose of the club is to build character, good sportsmanship, responsibility, and promote athletic inclination. The members are chosen by their characters and activities in the school, also whether her membership will be a benefit to either her or the club. Due to the war the night meetings had to be discarded for the duration, also such activities as bowling, swimming, dances, and parties. However, to compensate this, they have sponsored the silk and nylon drive, a stamp tramp, and clean-up campaign. Through the year the club has tried to teach those students who have wanted to learn how to dance during the noon-hour dancing peri- od. The club has collaborated with the Home Economics Club in making a service flag for for- mer students of Mars High. A School at Warn flag was purchased by the G. A. A. and presented to the school. A school is entitled to this flag when 90fQ of the student body purchase war stamps each month. In the presentation of the flag a patriotic program was given by the club. The hall patrol of this year has been under the supervision of the G. A. A. The members of the patrol are Senior members of the club. Their duty is to keep order in the halls during the changing of classes at noon and in the morning. The hall patrol also assists in seating students for assembly programs. The G. A. A. also has made a scrap book which contains all the war effort activities of the clubs of the schools which have aided in the national all out programf, The scrap book was requested by the U. S. Treasury in an effort to find out just what the schools of the nation are doing to aid the war effort. The scrap book was composed of school news. The club held a hay-ride as a final activity. Due to the scarcity of automobiles, 'gold dobbinv was utilized as a means of transportation. This outing was enjoyed by all and will be long remembered by the members. The club was under the able leadership of Miss Greer flVlrs. Glenn Latshawl and the oH:icers were: Ruth Hawkins, president, Jean Wightinan, vice president, Eleanore Hager, secretary, and Roberta Pinkerton, treasurer. -39-. Dramatics Junior Plag Dramatics Three times a week, thirty pupils assembled in Room B to learn the whyls and whereforeys of pub- lic speaking and dramatics. We were an ambitious group, guided in our undertakings by Miss Mar- garet Lambert, who always had a store of inter- esting facts about the subject to tell us. At the very beginning we came into contact with some extremely large and perplexing words, which we were obliged to put into notebooks that ranged over pages and pages of notebook paper, until we possessed notebooks that looked like small edi- tions of Webster's Dictionaryf, We tried to gath- er all our tools together, such as words, figures of speech and diacritical markings of words. In the talks that came all too often, regularly as clockwork, we put to use some of these tools we had been acquiring each day as we met in Room B. Now, we, those ambitious pupils, at the end of the year, can definitely see that we are not the same kind of speakers we were in the beginning, we have gained some of that thing called upoisegy' we don't shake so noticeably as we did at first, by Junior Plag The Junior class, under the able direction of Miss Patton, proved their acting ability in the three-act comedy, Q'Strangers at Home, on De- cember third and fourth. The play took place in the living room of the Crosbey house. Everything ran smoothly until Mrs. Crosbey and Aunt Phebe decided to turn the Crosbey house into a tourist home. The fric- tion came when Mr. Crosbey and the Crosbey children, Kay, Russ and Jean, found their home no longer a home. There were many thrilling epi- sodes which brought outbursts of laughter from composing talks, we have not only learned what audiences like to hear but also how they like to hear it said. Next came a terrifying, but enlightening, siege on Parliamentary Procedure, which, goodness knows, we all need and expect to use later on. At first it was difficult to ease ourselves out to the edge of our chairs and then at last gain enough courage to stand up and give our opinions on a certain motion that had been made by one of our fellow students. We had just begun to think of organizing ourselves into The Litterataev of Mars, when along came the real thing, the Senior play! We had been looking forward to this moment all year long and at long last it was here. The play chosen was Brother Goose. Some of us in the class became members of the Cast, others mem- bers of the production staff and all at last had a chance to be active members of an active theater group. the audience, but in the end, all was well. The play proved highly successful and we wish the forthcoming Junior classes as much luck with their Junior plays. Those chiefly responsible for the accomplished production were: Doris Eshenbaugh, Carl Law- rence, Nora Mae Staley, Bob Wensel, Ruth Rhea Boyd, Pauline Bower, Bob Sirney, LaVerne Lieb, Jean Wightman, William Cooper, Lulu Werner, Jack Shepard, Alice Evans, Glenn Magee, Bill Adams, Virginia Darr, Bob Gabosch, Dan Kohler, Jim Miller, and Miss Patton. .-41, Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1943 of Mars High School, Mars, Butler County, Pennsylvania, U.

The first few months found the work slow and tedious, but Mr. Ingalls and his young proteges worked without thought of rest. As a result, they proved their ability to pro- duce the goods and showed themselves to be a valuableladdition to the school curriculum. Con- sequently, the band was continued this year, guid- ed by the rhythmic baton of Mr. Paul Gehm. With renewed vigor, the band labored long and diligently under their new leader. During the foot- ball season, they appeared at all home games and also at the Evans City game. And, indeed, their labors were not in vain, for in November they were rewarded with smart, blue and gold uniforms. This deep expression of confidence by the School Board spurred the band to greater achievements. They held a concert in the latter part of Novem- ber to defray the cost of their new uniforms as well as to display them to their proud parents and Orchestra As long as we can remember, Mars High has had the honor of adding to its activities an or- chestra. This year, under the great hand of Mr. Paul Gehm, we find it on the upper road, taking an active part in the musical side of our programs, such as playing for the Senior Play and the Spring Festval. There we witnessed selections such as the Forge Master Overture, l'Festival Overturef, and many others. The first few months of this school term didn't look any too promising, but after more hard work, Mr. Gehm was very well satisfied. friends. The band, accompanied by the accom- plished batonftwirlers, was a feature at all home basketball games. In May the band participated in the highlight of the musical events of our Alma Mater this year. This was held in the form of a spring festival consisting of the various choral and vocal groups as well as the band and orches- tra. The band has experienced a very successful year and, of course, the members are looking for- ward to many more just as successful. Mr. Gehm too, has an eye to the future. He will lose but three members by graduation this year. In con- trast to this small loss, he will acquire twenty new members from the grade school who are now studying their instruments under his guidance. We are looking forward to next fall, when it is ex- pected that we shall have a fifty-five piece march- ing band preceded by twelve baton-twirlers. For Mr. Gehm and his faithful instrumentalists we see a bright future. May the best be theirs in all they attempt. The orchestra consists of twenty-five students. The loss of this year consisted of only two Seniors. This leaves Mr. Gehm with a good start for next year. The additions will be small. All through the year the orchestra took great pleasure in making recordings. These were made for the purpose of listening to them and studying mistakes. They also made records for each mem- ber that they might have them for remembrances in the years to come. We have all seen and enjoyed the performances of the orchestra and we wish the best of luck in years to come to each and every member. -47- I Girls' Chorus Mixed Chorus Girls' Chorus Much is always expected of the Mars High School Girls, Chorus, and this year certainly was no exception. As usual it was an outstanding mus- ical group and did its best to keep up to people's expectations.The chorus, under the excellent direc- tion of Miss Coddington, met twice a week during activity period and was composed of approximate- ly ninety voices. The girls enjoyed singing very much and especially enjoyed the light, gay, mod- ern type congo. They were rewarded for hours of practice the night of the Christmas cantata. After the cantata, by the Mixed Chorus, the Girls' Chorus took its place on the stage, to end the evening with familiar and unfamiliar carols. They made a very nice appearance that night, wearing black robes with small white collars. For the last carol, Silent Night,', colored lights were thrown on the stage to give the whole evening a breath- taking end. Besides looking very nice, the girls sang in a way which will make those who were in the audience remember them as an exceptionally Mixed Chorus One hundred students took part in the Mixed Chorus this year. The chorus met in the United Presbyterian Church on Tuesdays in activity per- iod. From this group the assembly choir was chosen which meets in the church during activity period every Thursday and Friday. This choir was organized to furnish music for assembly pro- grams and consisted of sixty-three students. The Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Chorus fur- nished the music for the Christmas cantata which was held in the auditorium, December 20. The singing was enjoyed by all, and all who attended the program were spiritually uplifted. The chorus also took part in the Spring Festival held on April 16, singing a group of negro spirituals and patri- otic songs. Their rendition of these pieces are memorable to all of us who took part in them and those who were spectators. The Mixed Chorus also good Girls' Chorus. For a number of years, our Girls' Chorus had always looked forward to spring and the annual music contests. They always en- joyed them, but this year, because of the war and difficulty in transportation, no contests were held. To replace the annual contests, a Spring Festival was held. New music was procured and the chorus immediately set to work hoping to make the Spring Festival something to be remembered for years to come. Practice was really enjoyed by each and every girls as the music shaped into lovely harmonious melodies and the Spring Festival slow- ly crept around the corner of time. The night of April the sixteenth found the Girls, Chorus on the stage again. Some of the numbers sung were: In a Monastery Garden,', Night Songf, l'Music When Soft Voices Die,', May Day Carol,', and Kathryn,s Wedding Dayf' The Spring Festival was a success and we shall not forget that part of the success was due to the songs rendered by our Girls' Chorus. provided the music for Baccalaureate, singing The Lord Bless You and Keep Youv and Now Let All the I-leavens Adore Thee. Due to the war situation the chorus was unable to take part in county contests. However, the Spring Festival adequately took the place of the contest. The band and choral groups were used in the program. This group showed active interest and steady progress through the year. Those students who were not interested in music were left by the way- side during the course of the year. Those who con- tinued with the work have found themselves to have a more appreciative attitude toward music. All these achievements have come about only through the steady, patient work of Miss Codding- ton, our instructor. -49-. Girls' Trio Under the very capable hand of Miss Margaret Coddington, vocal instructor of our school, the girls, trio rose to even greater heights than ever before. The present trio was organized last year and had as its members: Wilma Bracken, Alice Finley and Alice Sheridan. After Wilma left school to become a part of Mr, and Mrs.,,' Nora Mae Staley joined the twosome to again form a Mars girls' trio. This present trio has appeared before the Kiwanis Club, the Literary Club and many P. T. A. associations. Also, the three appeared on Wilkin,s Amateur Hour and during a program at the Variety Club Canteen. The trio met sixth period on Mon- days and Fridays and often at noon, when they introduced a bit of jazz to Miss Coddingtonis repertoire. Among their favorite selections are l'ley, Zelcelf' The Little Cricketf, and 'iTumbando C-una. Others are Holy Night and the im- mortal Ave Mariaf, To the uThree Little Maidsn we wish the best of luclc in ensuing years. LVN? in Girls' Ensemble The girls' ensemble had lots of fun this year during sixth period on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when they met with Miss Coddington to practice their best-loved songs. This group consisted of Ruth Farringer, Jean Demmer, Lois Whiteside, Dorothy Steinmetz, Dolly Shearer, Grace Toogood, Dorothy Petroni, Alice Finley, Alice Sheridan, and Nora Mae Staley. lt wasnit all fun, however, for the girls put forth lots of worlc on such selections as The Carol of the Singing Reedsu and uln a Monastery Garden and other pieces that the girls' chorus also has used. In the Christmas program this year the ensemble held a prominent place in the singing of 'tSilent Night, furnishing a very effective and beautiful closing to a wonderful evening of song. To the girls of our ensemble, we Wish our best in the years to come. ..50-- SPQRTS Football Under the able leadership of the new coach, Joe Hardy, the Planets presented an improved team over last yearis squad. The boys could not break into the win column but possessed the indi- vidual ability for a great team if they would have displayed more teamwork and spirit. The first day of football practice saw not more than thirty play- ers out for the eleven starting berths. This was soon remedied because with the first day of school came many aspiring football players and at last the team showed signs of coming up to form. Mars fielded a comparative green', team against Butler High's Golden Tornado. Five of the start- ing players had never before participated in inter- scholastic games. Their defeat at the hands of Butler undermined the team's morale and spirit and not until the last two or three games did the boys hit their stride. Handicapped by wet and muddy weather in more than half of their games, the Mars offensive, banking mainly on a speedy passing attack and de- ceptive play, was not very effective. At the home games the Planets displayed exceptionally good football playing and those who witnessed the East Deer game saw a very exciting game, as Mars had been tabbed as the underdog in that contest. The boys broke a string of scoreless games this year by hitting pay dirt in the second quarter of the East Deer game. With the graduating Seniors, Wally Caylor, Bob Flasher, Bill Selle, Russ Cooper, Tom Doman, Bob Kennedy, Jack Cuddyre, and Harry Mitchell, goes valuable experience which Coach Hardy could well use next fall. Many first string players were hampered by injuries, which, although not serious, were indeed injurious to the team. Next year Coach Hardy has hopes for a good team and his hopes are well founded. He will have a heavy and experienced forward wall and a versatile and speedy baclcfield. If there are any boys contem- plating coming out for football next year, do show up for practice and you will not regret it. Football is a body building sport and one learns a great deal. Remember, there are eleven positions on the team and none of them are taken. Basketball BOYS'-The past basketball season of Mars High didn,t turn out quite as successfully as other years. But the Mars team never went down in defeat without a battle. We must take into consideration that these boys worked under several great handi- caps. Many of last year's players left with the graduating class. Two are serving with Uncle Sam. Others left this year shortly after the season start- ed, leaving only two old members. It was these new boys' first experience of playing against such stiff competition, but in spite of their defeats, they proved to be gifted with great athletic slcill. It wasnit until the end of the season that our team began to hit on all five. The players all being underclassmen is a promise of a successful season next year. Qur record of thirteen losses and six wins will be vice versa. The members of the squad are: Ches Walters, Art l-leld, Bob Kennihan, Jack Penney, Jack Cuddyre, Bill lman, Hugh Morrow, Don Inches, Bud Brooks, Bob Black, Richard Kitzer, Bob Steiner, Louis Lehm, Merle McCombs Charles Marburger, and Burton Bishop. 7 GIRLS'-The girls, basketball team of Mars l-ligh, under the direction of Miss Andrew, their new coach, has been successful in playing their games with Hampton and Karns City. Velma Morrow, Mary Eurich, Alma Jane Morrow, Lois Knox, Margaret Clinton, Vivian Morrow, Esther Witt- mer, and Erma Kramer, have been playing to- gether since their Freshman year. These eight Seniors were honored this year by receiving blue sweaters. To pay for these sweaters, the girls have been selling pop, hot dogs and chocolate milk, and a number of donations have been made to the organization. The games played by the team have brought great enjoyment to the spectators and we are sure they will continue to do so in the years to come. Other members of the squad include: Eleanor Ferguson, Jean Demmer, Mary Grace Dobson, Grace Croslcey, Lillian Croskey, Irene Yusko, Rene Hennen, and Dorothy Petroni. The M Club The M Club is a newly organized club this year renewing the charter given up by the M Club of 1940. The club is composed of all lettermen who have earned their letters previous to this basket- ball season. At present the club consists of thir- teen members. They are: jack Gardner, Wally Caylor, Tom Doman, Bob Flasher, Harry Mitch- ell, Bill Iman, Art Held, Ches Walters, Rich Kit- zer, Lou Lehm, Chuck Marburger, Jack Penney, and Bill Selle. The boys earning letters in basket- ball this year will be invited to attend the first meeting of next year. Membership is open to everyone who has earned a letter and no voting is required for the admittance of new members. The M Club has lost four of its members, includ- ing Russ Cooper, president of the club. Russ and Bob Backderf enlisted in the Navy and are sta- tioned at Sampson Naval Training Station, New York. Jack Cuddyre, also having enlisted in the Navy, is stationed at Great Lakes N. T. S. Bob Kennedy left Mars High to take advantage of the accelerated education program at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh. Ches Walters, Junior vice pres- ident, has assumed the presidential duties which have been vacated by Russ. The club has voted unaminously to purchase different varsity sweaters. These new sweaters will be old-gold coat sweaters retaining the usual gold letter with a blue background. The sweaters are more attractive than the dark blue sweaters and they are slightly less expensive. The Seniors have already received their letters but the undergradu- ates must wait till they graduate before they re- ceive their letters. The M Club has no faculty adviser, depending upon their own judgment in their undertakings. Due to the present war re- strictions, the activities of the M Club have been limited, but larger and better accomplishments can be expected of the M Club in the future. ,m...m....h.....m Calendar SEPTEMBER 8+ Ring out the old, ring in the new!!-schoolas start- ed-and headaches, too! 9+Bob Kennedy is all smiles since he found Miss Con- nell to be the P.

D ENSE BUY UNTTEIJ ' STATIIS l slwmcs 4 , BDNDS 'DSTAMVS Congratulations, young people! You are being graduated into a world and a time that needs you. Unlike some of the classes that preceded you, the class of 1943 finds not merely jobs but oppor- tunities Waiting to be asked for and taken. Some of you may feel that you have been graduated just in time to face a larger number of problems than faced youth in other years. This, however, is not so. The world is a little bigger, things move a little faster, but the essentials of successful living and the pursuit of happiness have not changed and in almost every way the young people of today are better equipped with health and education than they may realize.
