Eight Appreciation O our superintendent, to our principal, our deans, and to all others who have helped us along our way, we, the class of 1939, wish to express our deep appreciation. Especially do we want to extend our sincere thanks to Mrs. Adam L. Grris, our adviser throughout the Senior year and our friend always. Dedjcafjon To fhe memory of . . . Mr. H. L. Van Scofen T Educatozj Adviser and Friend Roy L. Van Scoten was graduated from the Athens, Pa. High School in 1907, and attended St. Lawrence University, N. Y. where he received his Bachelor's degree. From 1924 to 1926 he took post-graduate work at Columbia University, and in 1936 he was awarded his Master's degree at Ohio State University. From 1914 to 1918 Mr. Van Scoten was principal of the Wells Schools and of the Cape Vincent Schools, N. Y. Then, for ten years he was supervising principal at Canton, Pa., and finally, in 1928, he became superintendent of the Mechanicsburg Schools. He died on Iuly 7, 1938, at Sayre. Pa. After Mr. Van Scoten's arrival in Mechanicsburg many improvements were brought about in the schools. In 1930 a new school building was erected, and just recently the shop and agricultural building was completed. Courses in phys- ical education for both boys and girls, and the home economics department were started. The Central Treasury and the Budget System which now operate extensively and efficiently in the high school were introduced by Mr. Van Scoten a few years ago. Under his careful direction the Mechanicsburg schools gradually improved until they be- came a third class school district, receiving special recog- nition from numerous colleges and institutions of higher learning. They say that he is gone, but memories that are destined to live set forth a silent opposition to the written word, and because we find these memories lingering always near, we dedicate this Artisan to him. 7 Z T- f l : I Z i gn-E MoN,K5'Cu Asnb T E Book I K There is an unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.

Heiks Paul These seven members of the Mechanicsburg Board of Directors are sometimes akin to the proverbial 'Aforgotten man, as regards the students' knowledge of them at least. However, the actions taken by our capable school board often smooth out difficulties or effect splendid improvements to increase the pleasures of our school life. The members of the board of directors are outstanding citizens of Mechanicsburg elected to this position by the voters of the town. At each of the elections, which are held at two-year intervals, two new members are chosen to serve for six years. In December the president and the vice- president of the board are elected for a one-year term each. The secretary has a term of four years. and the treasurer, one yearg both are elected in Iune. Some of the duties of the school board are to hire teachers, set the mill rate, authorize repairs or additions to the schools, and handle the school district finances. Wise decisions and careful planning followed by suitable actions have been employed by our very efficient board of directors throughout the entire time of its existence. Fourteen The Faculty The school year of 1938-39 saw a reorganization in the office force. Mr. Edwin B. Long came from Millersburg to fill the ofhce of superintendent of schools, left vacant after the death of Mr, Van Scoten. Mr. D. D. Brandt who formerly held the position of principal and Dean of Boys was relieved of his deanship in order to devote all of his time to the duties required of him as principal. Mr. G. Haggerty was appointed as dean of boys in his place. Miss Margaret Stauffer, dean of girls, started on her second year in this position. The teachers of the Iunior and Senior High Schools represent many colleges, and every department of the school curriculum is headed by an instructor specially trained in the subject matter of that department. In the last few years the shop and agricultural depart- ments and the girls' home economics course have increased in size and broadened in scope. Miss Bessie Bear, the school librarian, was music instructor first in the grades and then in the Iunior High School. She has been privileged to watch the school in all respects. having remained here longer than any other member of the faculty. The work of these well-trained artisans is shown on the following pages by the accom- plishments and extra-curricular activities of the students. Any attainments of the student body have been made possible only through the efficient faculty. Mr. E. ll. Long, A.B., AJI.

To our great surprise we learned that Seniors work just as hard as under- classmenl However, it was not long until we saw the vacant places that we could fill to bring honor to our high school. Through the autumn months we thrilled to see our boys carry the football down the field, and we were proud to say, He's a Senior now! Then later, our Senior boys were prom- inent in basketball. Their excellent playing provided many breath-taking moments for excited spectators. The Senior girls were also interested in athletics, although not so much was said about them. ln volleyball and basketball class tournaments, they upheld the reputation of the Seniors. That our assembly program, presented on October 5, was one of the best, was the unanimous opinion of the delighted audience. The Smith-Emery version of Via the Air- shaft and the longer play Mix Well and Stir met with general approval. There was no doubt about it, the Seniors had acting ability. This was further proved when on February 9 and 10, the Seniors presented their class play entitled One Mad Night , a three-act mystery drama by Iames Reach. The student- actors took their parts well and the Hnished play earned very favorable comments from the town as a whole and from the high school. One of the high spots of the year was the novel Sadie Hawkins Dance held in the high school gymnasium on April 14. Finally, our work at Nlechanicsburg High School is ended. Our essays and term reports have been handed in: our debates and athletic games are finished. We know we'll be missed, but we also know that our places will soon be filled by next year's class. We appreciate the help of the teachers who gave us wise and sound adviceg and now with the Class Day, Iunior and Senior prom, Baccalaureate, and Commencement behind usg reluctantly, and cherishing fond memories of Mechanicsburg High School, we bid farewell to the best Alma Mater a Senior ever had.

One of the first important events during our Iunior year was the Assembly program. The date was assigned to the Iunior Class: then we willingly agreed to give our time to a professional assembly. At the last minute we were told to give our program at the date first decided upon. We engaged a speaker from Philadelphia, Mr. Iohn B. Ekey, whose topic was Character Education . His address was very educational and was greatly appre- ciated by all of the students. We thought, as did the rest of the school, that we had pre- sented a worthwhile program. Later the Iuniors took the initiative in securing a uniform design for M. H. S. class rings. The idea was presented to the student council and then to the student body. The result was that the Iuniors set a standard seal for class rings. Our class has also shown athletic ability. We feel that we shall have a good foot- ball team next year. Why? Because fifteen of our boys went out for football this year. Some played on the lay Vee team, others were second string members, and a few were on the varsity squad, Six of our boys played basketball and the girls had a volleyball and basket- ball team which showed up excellently in interclass games. Our greatest work was the presentation on December 8 and 9 of the Iunior play entitled Parents and Pigtailsf' a three-act comedy by George Savage. It was our first chance to present a class play, and we found among our ranks a wealth of dramatic ability. The help of the experienced teachers and the co-operation of the rest of the class boosted this venture to success. Since the Iunior and Senior prom crowned our year's work, we look forward to next year when we will take the place of the present graduating class. We feel sure that our record as a Iunior class proves our fitness to begin next year as Seniors.

Sophomore Class ffsfory At last, we were no longer Freshies to whom high school life was all quite new and strange, but Sophomores for whom this Freshman experience was a memory of the past. With cards, ping-pong, Chinese checkers, and dancing, we held our first party of the year on Friday, November 18, in the high school gymnasium. This party for class members only was supervised by the home room teachers, Miss Brackbill, Miss Vannauker, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Bucher, and by the various class committees. Un Wednesday, Ianuary 11, the Sophomore Class presented its assembly program. The first part was a one-act romantic farce entitled Are You Listening? which seemed to appeal to all of the students. During the second part, the M. H. S. Dance Orchestra, under the supervision of Mr, Morrette, and consisting of upper-classmen, made its initial appearance. Our class members took an active part in athleticsg two Sophomore boys received letters for playing football on the varsity squad, and several received Iay Vee letters. Our girls formed a volleyball and basketball team and overcame the Freshmen in both games. However, we, too, suffered defeat at the hands of the more experienced Iuniors. We were represented in various clubs and several of our members took part assembly programs and in the Christmas program. We had one person on the negatiQ debating team and several Sophomores tried out for next year's Torch. Yes, we, as well as other classes, had honor students. Our memorable Sophomore year was concluded with a spring dance which was open not only to class members, but to outsiders as well, This occasion was a very fitting ending to the year's activities. Now, with half our high school career behind us, we enter into the second half, proud that we will soon be called Iuniors.

H. S. represented in various athletics, there is one group to whom sufficient credit should be given. Their work is hard and strenuousg they receive none of the glory, and above all, in victory or defeat they must keep their heads upg think not of themselves, but concentrate on cheering the other fellow. Disappointment and anger must be forgotten, and when the going gets tough, pep must be instilled in a low-spirited, downcast crowd. These duties are all just part of the job to M. H. S, cheerleaders. With the idea in mind of developing a capable pep squad for future years, the 193839 cheerleading body was composed of nine members. Headed by Captain Bill Emery, a cheer- leader for the past three seasons, the squad consisted of -- Seniors: Adele Emery, Dolores Lucas, and Sara Eagle: Iuniors: Paul Quigley and Elnora Frey. Sophomores: Leslie Anderson, Eris Kreitzer, and Ieanne Stahl. Due credit should also be given to Miss Williams, director and faculty adviser of the cheerleading organization. ' No one can truthfully say that the cheerleaders of M. H. S. have not done their best this year through all sorts of weather. Particularly significant were the efforts of the squad during the dismal downpour throughout the New Cumberland game, the overwhelming odds at Chambersburg, and finally, the cutting blizzard that enveloped the Carlisle fray. Hand in hand with cheering duties at football, basketball, and baseball games went the obligations to the band. The favors embodied such tasks as marching with the band to football games, and accompanying it during contest trips to Harrisburg. Mechanicsburg may be proud indeed of the cheerleaders who pumped spirit and fierce determination into the hearts of I a both athletes and spectators during the '38-'39 contests. Surely 1 their sideline duties and their faithful performance of these -Qui A , duties warrant for them a place equal to that of any group in 4 .,. the school, and justify the praise that M. H. S. extends to the if 1938-39 cheerleading staff. Forty-eight ' Sept Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov.

BJ Donald Gates, C. 1 . if .Lankan Varsity Football Team Reports from football camp at Fannettsburg indicated that the 1938 Wildcats were still wild, but a bit light. Eight lettermen, three backs: Welker, Gher, and Strasbaugh, five linemen: P. Rider f'38 captainl, Zimmerman, Norris, Snelbaker, and Troup, formed the nucleus for the '38 team. With these few veterans reinforced by backs: I. Sadler, Bates, Walker, Coble, Lehmer, Wing- ert, and Day, and linemen: Burley, Reed, M. Rider, Gates, Mumma, Beistline, Irvine, Peebles, Ginter, B. Sadler, and Shuler, Coach Frederick dug in to mold a winning club. Although the team did not win all its games, much credit should be given to the complete squad and to the coaching staff for their co-operation. As an opener, Hershey Industrial School proved to be a little too much for a scrapping Steel and Maroon eleven. M. H. S. rose to its lone spot of glory when Welker's first period seventy-five yard touchdown jaunt and conversion made the score 7-O. Thereafter it was all Hershey Industrial. On the first of October, M, H. S. met Hershey High in the first conference tilt, and battled to a scoreless tie for the second consecutive year. Both teams showed flashes of offensive ability, but neither had enough to cross the stripe. Watch out for passes was the warning. It was right, for Catholic High defeated the Maroon and Steel on passes alone, Grubic and Palti being the factors in Catholic's success. Welker and Sadler aided by an excellent defensive line did their utmost for our colors. Showing an unconquerable spirit, aided by Coach Frederick's lucky suit and pocket knife, the M. H. S. Wildcats toppled the favored Hanover Nighthawks on their own soil before a completely dazzled crowd. Mechanicsburg held the lead twice, lost it twice, and came back in the final quarter when Paul Rider scooped up a blocked punt and raced 30 yards to make the score 19-13. Defensive play by Strasbaugh, P. Rider, Rupp, and Sadler was outstand- ing, while Welker's play led the offense. In its last home game, the Frederick tutored eleven lost a hard fought battle to the Battlefield Boys of Gettysburg 7-0. The Steel and Maroon advanced the ball 139 yards from scrimmage to Gettysburg's 35 yards, and ended with twelve first downs to four for the visitors. Wright, Tate, and Linn did well for the Little Bullets. Sadler and Welker stood out for the f , . Wildcats. I .LT Playing against Shippensburg, the only team yet encountered f ball? on an even weight basis, M. H. S. completely outplayed the ., 'Sqn ' f aa Greyhounds more than the 12-O score indicates. Sadler and to - I , -j Jig it Welker again bore the laurels for the M. H. S. backfield. Fine .- ' zffafi 2. . Q, blocking by Gher and Bates also featured the victory. Fifty Ability to make and take the breaks enabled the Wildcats to tame M the Tigers on a field covered by water. Excellent punting by Welker kept New Cumberland in its own territory. Pearson played a grand ,,w,'.,'- I game for the losers. 'fy' ,V QL Expecting to encounter power plays, the Mechanicsburg squad 8 .ffl journeyed to Chambersburg on Armistice Day. They certainly found ,,,- 4 them, but strange as it seems, the Blue Devils' scores come as indirect 'A results of passes. Chambersburg, 1938 Conference Champs, presented a very heavy, powerful team which effectively tamed the Wildcat of- fense, but had quite a battle to do the same with the defense. At last came Thanksgiving Day which brought the victory that made the whole season a success. In a furious last quarter rally the Steel and Maroon edged out Carlisle by seven points on a snow swept field. Welker and Sadler completed careers in fine form, both play- ing exceptional ball. Thus, with a 13-6 victory the '38 season ended, taking with it eight regulars and six reserves who would never again play football for Mechanicsburg High, 4 ' 1 Q funjor Varsity After checking up, Coach Fortney found himself with only four seasoned gridders to inaugurate the 1938 Iay Vee football season. However, from these inexperienced charges emerged one of the most successful reserve teams in the history of M. H. S. : Markle, Cline, Koser, Martin, Strock, Getz, Rickards, ,Kolhaas, Orris, Biddle, Enck, R. Miller, Becker, Holl- inger, E. Miller, Kintzer, Alexander, Those receiving letters were Cullings, Boyson, Anderson, Taylor Reed and Bitner. Opening the season against a H. S. eleven met disaster in the form of a 48-0 shellacking, but from then on things began to click. With Bitner and Strock scoring, the Wildkittens romped over Edison, only to be upset by a costly fumble in the next fray with Camp Curtin. powerful Penbrook aggregation, a green, outweighed M. Again Coach Fortney's proteges triumphed, trouncing New Cumberland 13-7, with Cline snaring several beautiful passes. Following this tilt came the Steelton and Hershey games, the first resulting in a scoreless tie, and the latter, a one touchdown loss. The final game proved to be a most spectacular prelude to the Turkey Day classic, with the 12-0 defeat of Carlisle, ' P e 1 'A' ' f - A .533 '-,c ' sitci ' . I V . - ff' 1551 4 il-.. . Basketball Five of last year's lettermen and prospects from the Iay Vees presented a good out- look to Coach Frederick for his '39 team. ln the starting line-up were Vogelsong and Hendrian, forwards, Stansfield center, Sadler f'39 captainj, and Strasbaugh, guards. Other members of the varsity squad were: Walker, Welker, Brunner, Norris, Gher, and Iacoby. As the season progressed Whitey Walker broke into the starting line-up as a guard. Mechanicsburg's 1938-39 season opened with an impressive victory over Camp Hill, 35-19, with Brunner and Stansfield leading M. H. S. offensively. The Steel and Maroon won its second game by defeating the highly favored Iohn Harris squad, 35-27. The team showed a smooth passing attack and, led by Vogelsong and Hendrian, were never headed after the half. During, the Christmas vacation the Steel and Maroon won a 28-22 victory over the alumni. Playing their first conference game, the VVildcats trounced Shippensburg, 26- 17. Vogelsong and Walker were the offensive stars. Then the Steel and Maroon lost their first game to Waynesboro 33-29, in a thrilling nip and tuck battle, after a last period rally fell short. Returning to winning form, M. H. S. trounced bitter rivals, Carlisle, 35-27, after spot- ting them a 14 point lead. Stansfield and Vogelsong led oifensively and Sadler and Stras- baugh played excellent defense as Mechanicsburg gained the lead mid-way in the third quarter and went on to win. Then Mechanicsburg played host to New Cumberland and lost in the last second on a long shot made by Unger. The score was 31-30. Wildcats lost to Chambersburg in a rough battle, 27-21, as Hendrian starred for M.H. S. and Murray and Williams led Chambersburg. Still on the downward path, Mechanicsburg lost to a smooth passing Gettysburg team, 48-30. The Little Bullets led by Wright and Oyler were never headed. Hendrian's shoot- ing kept M. I-l.S. in the game. Entering the next game without given much of a chance, the Steel and Maroon threw a scare into Hershey and lost out only in the last two minutes. The final score was 47-38. At Hanover the Wildcats were defeated 23-25, as the champions, led by Weaver, kept a lead throughout. Mechanicsburg met and defeated Shippensburg 34-25. The M. H. S. attack was led by Vogelsong and Sadler. 1 X W U 1 . ad ' ,. v rs fl Revenging an early season defeat, M. H. S. took New Cumberland if 25-15. The Steel and Maroon didn't click on the small floor until the last 1- quarter when they scored 12 points mainly through the shooting of Walker Fifty-two and Hendrian. Next, the Wildcats lost a see-saw affair to Waynesboro, fy 36-34, after Waynesboro erased a 2 point lead. Walkers shooting kept M. H.S. right there. M. H.

Baseball Many boys answered Coach Fortney's call for baseball and a good season was predicted. Mechanicsburg had several lettermen returning to the diamond including Huck Welker, one of the best pitchers in the West Shore League, and Renard and Sadler who proved to be the Sluggers. As the practices progressed and the starting line-up took shape, the players were: Iacoby, second base: Gher, short stopg Renard, third baseg Beistline, left fieldg Walker, center field: Quigley, right field: Norris, catcherg and Welker, Rupp, and Whitacre taking their turns on the mound. Later Martin and Wingerd joined this line-up. As a starter, the Wildcats played two games with Newport, winning by scores of 4-3 and 15-0. Then M. H. S. opened its 1939 League Season with a smashing victory over Boiling Springs 17-1, thanks to Sadler's powerful bat and the pitching of Welker. Travelling to New Cumberland, the Steel and Maroon chalked up victory number four by winning 4-3. Rupp's pitching and Welker's bat were too much for the Tigers Still on the winning path, Mechanicsburg trounced Enola 73. Trailing until the last two stanzas, M. H, S. scored 3 in each inning to make victory number live. As the season advanced, Coach Fortney's club continued to hold its own in first place and more wins were promised for M. H. S.

TMTWQQLAI, 1 if f Those players reporting for practice in late March were: Blaine g 1 ' Hurley, Bill Hendrian, Wayne Hummer, Don Koser, Don Rutherford, Bob Engle, Frank Chambers, Bill Porter, Bill Paul, Iohn Morton. Bill Dougherty, a very able player and future prospect, worked out with the team, but was not able to participate in the matches because of the rule allowing only representatives of the four upper classes to compete in scheduled contests. As usual, this season was somewhat delayed by the recurrent rains which kept the courts quite damp for long periods. Accordingly, many practices were held in the gymnasium. After much debate as to which of the lads trying out for manager performed the required tasks most efficiently, Coach Thomas chose Bob Keefer to the post of manager. Tennis has always been a minor sport throughout the history of M. H. S., but with the return of such veterans as Hurley, Engle, Dougherty, Chambers, Koser, Paul, and Ruth- erford to future tennis teams, interest should not lag. ln fact, Coach Thomas is looking forward to the development of championship squads within the next few years.

Away Girls' Volleyball The inter-class volleyball tournament was played during the second week of December after a practice period of nine weeks. To be eligible to enter, each team was required to have eleven players on the floor, and in order to qualify, each player had to be present at seven practices. The first game of the series was between the Sophomores and Freshmen. Both of these teams were inexperienced, but what they lacked in technique they made up in spirit. The Freshman team was captained by Vera Loudon, and the line-up included Mary Herring, Nancy Whitman, Sarah Lamparter, Alice Rodgers, Lorraine Bender, Helen Seifert, Fay McNair, Grace Sellers, Viola Farance, Mildred Brown, Geraldine Rider, Pauline Wilt, and Betty Kitzmiller. The Sophomores won two games by overwhelming scores, and thus elimin- ated the necessity of a third game. The victorious team included Eleanor Stehle, Gertrude Baker,Mable Criswell, Pearl l-loffman,Marie Farance, Eris Kreitzer, Alice Roth, Florence Fertenbaugh, Vera Brenneman, Vera Iones, Betty McLane, Pauline Fox, and was captained by Iosephine Coover. On Wednesday evening, December 14, the Iuniors made short work of the Sophomores in two games. The Iunior team led by Elizabeth Gensler consisted of Betty Sheaffer, Ethel Knisely, Betty Nailor, Betty Whitman, Winifred Walters, Anna Kapp, Kathryn Bousum, Pauline Fishel, lda Stoner, and Emma Cocklin. The next evening the fast moving Iuniors played their Senior sisters. What a game! The Seniors won the first contest by a wide margin, but the fighting Iuniors came back to win the second game by one point. The third game was played amid the wild cheering of the ,S spectators who watched the Senior team, captained by Gladys Loudon, gallop Qs .N to a twenty to eight victory. Other Seniors who participated were Iune Waggoner, Grace Knisely, Olive Gates, Eva Merris, Dorothy Nye, Charlotte 1 Vogelsong, Dorothy Rupp, Dolores Lucas, Anna Basehore, Fay Mountz, ffl Martha I-lorning, Ferne Rector, Exley Gensler, and Adele Emery. M All the games were refereed by Miss Williams, and the score was kept I I by a representative of each class involved. The teams elected their own zl.f :w-T captains who also acted as managers. Fifty-six l Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball season came to a smashing close when the S Seniors won the class tournament by defeating their Iunior sisters in X' the final game of the competition by a score of twenty-four to sixteen. While only three points in the lead at the end of the third quarter, the fourth year team played an inspired game in the last period and came out on top with honors. The victorious team was captained by Gladys Loudon, who has been captain for the last three years. It was paced by an almost perfect shot, Dorothy Nye. The forwards included Dorothy Nye, Charlotte Vogelsong, Olive Sheely, Adele Emery, and Martha I-lorning. Guards were Gladys Loudon, Eva Merris, Dorothy Rupp, and Anna Basehoreg Exley Gensler was manager. Ali of these girls played high school basketball for the last time in this final contest. t, FQ, Before this game the Iuniors had defeated the Sophomores who in turn had defeated the Freshmen. ln the first game of the tournament, the Sophomores and Freshmen played to a close score of twelve to nine against the Freshmen who were led by Vera Loudon. Other players were Alice Rodgers, Nancy Whitman, Mary Herring, Ruth Basehore, Lorraine Bender, Grace Sellers, Viola Farance, and Geraldine Rider, manager. The opposing Sophod mores were led by Marie Farence, with Geraldine Wenger, Ruth Knisely, Dot Harbold, and Iosephine Coover, forwardsg and Mable Criswell, Eris Kreitzer, Virginia Stauffer, Vera Bren- naman, Pearl Hoffman, Vera Iones, and Ainslee Pease as guards. This team was managed by Pauline Fox. The Iuniors, who were runners-up in the tournament, were captained by Betty Nailor and paced by Elizabeth Gensler with eleven points. Cther players who were chosen for the team were Betty Whitman, Winnie Walters, Alice Pottinger, lean Bender, Twyla Stansfield, Ethel Knisely, Ida Stoner, Kathryn Bousum, and the manager, Emma Cockley. All the games contained eight minute quarters, and were referred by Miss Williams.

In the Harrisburg Christmas Parade the Drum Major received thirty dollars which was the second prize for Class B bands. During the football season, the band appeared at all football games and displayed the excellent results of their three drill practices as well as three music rehearsals a week, The wearing of white shoes and white gloves was adopted this year and added greatly to the appearance. A governing body, known as the Tribunal, was established to make and enforce the laws and to discuss all matters concerning the band. The Tribunal consisted of Winifred Dougherty, chairman, Iohn Chambers, Oscar Seyler, Bonnie Zellers, and the three faculty advisers, Mr. Marlin E. Morrette, Director, Mr. Marlin Way, Drill Masterg and Mr. Wayne H, Neiswenter, Business Manager. The band concert in Ianuary was a great success, featuring vocal solos, duets, trios, and quartets, and the direction of several selections by four Senior band members. Ofiicers of the band are : Robert Rowles, President: Lester Yohn, Vice Presidentg Iohn Chambers, Secretary- Treasurerg Frank Highberger and Iohn Grove, Librarians: and Earl Hertzler, Student Manager.

Sixty-two The Orch esztra The forty-piece high school orchestra is one of the oldest musical organizations in the school and is well-known for its quality performances, This very active group plays regularly for the weekly assemblies and for all school presentations. ln this capacity it has been kept busy providing musical accompaniment to dramas on the M. H. S, stage. Quite a few com- ments were received on its excellent playing for the Iunior, the Senior, and the Faculty plays especially. Outside organizations may secure its sevices for productions in the school, and during the year the orchestra was called upon for this purpose also. Members of the orchestra are students of the Iunior and Senior High Schools: many of the older members have played with the orchestra for several years and may be regarded as seasoned musicians. It is probable that some of them will continue their playing in similar organizations when their high school career is over, and these individuals are thus enabled to secure practice in co-ordination with other instruments. Mr. Marlin E. Morrette is the orchestra's director. Having formerly attended M. H. S. himself, he is as eager as the student members to maintain the reputation of the school orchestra. ' Next year Mr. Morrette plans to have a first and second orchestra, each consisting of forty pieces, the first to have two regular practices weekly, and the second to have one. These orchestras will play alternately for the weekly assemblies. Concerts, radio presenta- tions, and playing for other schools are planned, too, for next year. At present the orchestra is composed of-trumpet: Iames Beitzel, Paul Gronbeck, Dorothy Rupp, Arthur Stambaughg saxophone: Iohn Grove, Stanley Hollinger, Paul May, Bonnie Zellers: trombone: Bill Brubaker, Bob Rowles: bassoon: Earl Hertzlerg alto horns: Iosephine Dougherty, Winifred Dougherty, Mary Strasbaugh, Lester Yohn: drum: Ted Unger: bass horn: Ierry Wolf: violin: Iay Blauser, Oliver Chisley, Dorothy Dietz, Frank Douglass, Sara Eppley, Thorley Hollinger, Laura Shambaugh, Ruth Schwalm, Geraldine Wenger: clarinet: Louise Burtner, Ada Coller, Ianet Coover, Frank Moser, Nancy Segar, Ed Stansfleld, Bernard Williams, oboe: Geraldine Kaley: flute: Helen Konhaus: cello: Anna Gaymon, Irene Schwalm: piano: Betty Miller, Genevieve Stansfleld. l 1 Dfamatjc Club President . . . . .

Home Economics Club provides a home-making introduction for many of them. Home Economics Girls Sew Wedding at Ir. Home Ec. Club Senior Play One of the most important events ofthe year to the Seniors, and indeed to the whole school, was the presentation on February 9 and 10 of the Senior play, One Mad Night in the high school auditorium. This year's play was a mystery farce by Iames Reach, and under Miss Longanecker's careful direction it developed into a masterpiece of thrills and laughter. Bill Emery turned in his usual vivid performance, in this case as Don Cutter, the young hero whose unexpected return to the old Cutter mansion reveals an astounding situation which rapidly works itself up into a virtual riot, The patient Wing, Don's Confucius-quoting Chinese valet and partner in conspiracy, was portrayed to perfection by Ted Unger, a new- comer to the M. H. S. stage. And what Senior play would be complete without its beautiful young heroine! In this case Ieanne Strock was the lovely damsel, Lucille Marcy, who is very properly rescued from the clutches of her scheming guardian and his aides. The part of the foiled villain, Artemus Burke, was capably played by lim Beitzel. Four characters which provided some of the most amusing scenes of the play were the inmates of the temporary mental home in the Cutter mansion, First, Nancy Segar was an excellent Priscillag then, Bill Porter was delightfully humorous as Iohn Alden who hunts Indians and keeps on the lookout for Red Coats. Genevieve Stansfield very impressively played the part of Lady Macbeth, and Wayne Hummer was a marvelously realistic Mr. Hyde. Other good comedy parts were Depression, the colored maid, and Danny Siletto, an escaped murderer. ln the former role Sayra Spahr was, as always, very good. Truman Coble as the desperate criminal had the opportunity to be just as tough as he has ever desired to be. The other characters were: lim Snelbaker, who did a fine job as the stern Doctor Bunn in charge of the home for mental cases, Kassy Brunhouse as Mrs. Kluck, Dr. Bunn's assistantg lean Smith as Don's fiancee, Gertrude Finch, and Ioey Fish, who skillfully portrayed the mother, Mrs. Finch. Although the Senior play is always regarded as a high spot in the school year, this year's play was an outstanding event among a multitude of successes.

This year's production was Parents and Pigtailsf' a delightful three-act comedy-romance by various members of the Iunior Class under the very capable supervision of Mr. Haggerty and Mr. Neiswenter. Stanley Hollinger turned in an excellent performance as the father, Dudley Robinson, who has his family on the verge of separation because of his proposed year of vacation and travel in a trailer. Anne Fortney, as Mrs. Robinson, perfectly portrayed a districted mother and wife, and an ardent believer in the possibilities of remodeling. Betty Walters as the oldest daughter, Sandra, who further entangles the family affairs with her various engagements and efforts to come to a decision on the important question of marriage, completely justified her right to the romantic lead. Peggy Harvey capably took the part of Pat, the more serious sister, who, in attempting to straighten out Sandra's affairs, finds a husband for herself. As Elaine, the youngest sister, living only to ski and to compli- cate matters, Ieanne Beitzel was found very entertaining by an appreciative audience. The dashing young radio announcer, Ken Bristol, was none other than Wayne Guinivan masterfully striving to Win the girl of his choice. Ed Stansfield took the part of Iohn Richards, the earnest young insurance agent who is not quite sure of himself or of his Hancee. Alden Meals' performance as Sam Decker, a helpful neighbor and friend, was excel- lent. Iean Keefer as Stella Dunn, a very close friend of the family: lean Bender as Mrs, Carlson, a neighborg Betty Nickey as Bette Walker, newsreporterg and Bill Iacoby as Cokey Ioe, a photographerg completed the cast. The play, moving rapidly from beginning to end, concerned a supposedly normal American family and their friends. However, the series of incidents which befell the group was far from ordinary, and greatly delighted the record crowds which filled the high school auditcrium both nights of the play. Seventy-four X Faculty Play Not to be outdone by the students, members of the M. H. S. faculty presented Begin- ners' Luck, a three-act farce by Glenn Hughes, in the high school auditorium on March 9 and 10. Mr, Iames G. Haggerty directed the play and Miss Bessie Bear was production assistant. It seems that the director, Mr. Haggerty, found so many potential heroines that he decided to have four of them this year. Miss Dorothy Hamilton as Gail Fuller proved that her abilities turn toward singing and acting as well as teaching students and manipulating typewriters. As lean Masters, a young novelist, Miss Edith Forney deftly plotted to save her friends and herself from an awkward situation. Although a newcomer to the M. H. S. faculty, Miss Kathryn Vannauker won the praise of everyone by her portrayal of Pat Iordan, a promising young actress. Mrs. Mary Moser became Meg McRae, the energetic young painter who cheerfully exchanged a masterpiece for spaghetti ingredients when the cupboard went bare. Mr. Bucher surprised and captured the audience with his performance as Paul Han- ford, young art student, and M. Dupres, art critic. Mr. Royer quite capably furnished romantic interest as Cris Murray, a young writer. Unable to forsake fora minute his beloved music, Mr. Morrette was most entertaining as Tony Donato, an Italian street musician and spaghetti maestro. Even high school principals can forget their calling for a pleasant even- ing or two as did Mr. Brandt in his role as Bramwell Booth, gentleman-actor. Miss Ada Brackbill retained her dignity and excellently took the part of Mrs. Pike, the landlady. No murders or kidnapping in a faculty play, but Mr. Thomas added a diverting bit of suspense as the mysterious Mr. X. Perhaps the most important person in the play to the other characters was Miss Katherine Williams as Birdie Brown, society editor of The Falls City Echo. Miss lrva Zimmerman forgot her French long enough to emerge with a German accent as Mme. Humperdinckg Mr. Vogelsong appeared as Clarence Coy of the Madison Art Galleryg Miss Margaret Stauffer was Lucy Riggs, a literary agentg and Mr. Way stalked about as Boris Borislavsky, a Russian theatrical producer. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that this production was one of the best ever given in the school by classes or faculty.

C FX-A Fljjixjxfxr--wg XF 'Nd-4 -'Z Class Prophecy In the year nineteen hundred and sixty f196Ol, I, Paul Cramer, and I, Bill Porter, part of a history making expedition led by Admiral William I-Iendrian of the United States Navy, just returned from the frozen Antarctic regions where, with the most unerring aid of Paul Gronbeck, Robert Ashburn, Thomas Cawthern, engineersg Dr. Wm. K. Nailor, M.D., Ph.D.g Iohn Morton, noteworthy photographer, Chester Romberger, radio operatorg and Sam Anglin and Iohn Enck, two of the world's most famous aviators, we had completed a research on The Life of a Penguin . We were met in New York Harbor by a fleet of boats, tugs, and yachts of all sorts. Amid the din of their ear splitting, shrieking sirens, our party humbly submitted to the radio interviews conducted by the famous news commentator, Raymond Bates. Upon docking, we marched ceremoniously ashore to be greeted by the mayor of New York himself, Paul Rider. A guard of honor led by Field Marshall, Ted Unger, assisted by Chief of Police, Charles Stansfield and his competent staff, Robert Reed, Iesse Startzel, Donald Gates, Dean Brunner, and Paul Brewbaker, escorted us up Fifth Avenue amid a shower of confetti and ticker tape. Music for the occasion was capably rendered by Robert Rowles's military band. Feeling in need of enjoyment we submitted to a visit to Radio City after an afternoon's slumber in the Clyde Clinton Walker hotel. Here the faces of lean Smith and Wayne Hummer greeted us from the billboards, appearing in Night-mare , written by Tru- man Coble, the renowned playwright. Radio City, newly under the management of Irvine and Kile, Inc., presented a gala appearance as the Rockettes : Betty Baker, Adele Emery, Lou Barley, Iulia Bahn, Gerry Brubaker, Louise Shope, and Sara Urich, cavorted before an elaborate back-drop, said to have been the work of Genevieve Stansfield and Virginia Martin. After an Antarctic expedition one craves music and more music, so on to a club. Arriv- ing at the Yohe, Speck, and Wertz taxi stand in charge of Arthur Loscher, we were con- veyed to the popular 39 club where Robert Strasbaugh presided as major- domo. The music of lim Beitzel's 39'ers was wafted on the air by Lester Yohn, Paul May, Winifred Dougherty, and Irene Schwalm to the delight of the listeners and dancers. We were warmly greeted by lim Snelbaker, an old friend, and now proprietor of the club. We also found a group of old timers in the persons of Iosephine Fish, expert dieticiang Earl Zimmerman, chef, Wilbur Stone, head waiterg Ethel Iohnson, Ruth Kreitzer, Iune Waggoner, and Grace Knisely, check room girls: Dolores Lucas, Gladys Loudon, Eva Merris, Marg- aret Myers, and Ivy Raudabaugh, cigarette girls. Dorothy Nye, Martha Horn- ing, Ianie Sadler, Iayne Lehman, and Ellen Hillegass, served delectable food which had been prepared by Madalyn Waugh, Dorothy Rupp, Charlotte Vog- elsong, Frieda Stoner, and Frances Stehle, the most efficient, experienced, and pleasing cooks ever assembled. Seventy-eight Ah, here was a personage of our childhood days whom we remembered: Ed Vogelsong. He welcomed us most warmly, showed us to our table, and proceeded to introduce some of the celebrities. Among those present were the honorable William F. Emery, Pennsylvania's lilibustering Senator: Robert Day, the United States Ambassador to France, Kassy Brunhouse, late of the Follies, Ieanne Strock, M.G.M.'s leading dancing actress: Huck Welker, ace pitcher of the New York Yankeesg Nathan Walker, artificerg Eleanor Zimmerman, psychoanalysistg Dorothy Rickards, the most progressive chemist of the United States, who recently discovered K2AsO16Cl5: Mary Shaull, earthquake recorder, and President of the Siesmograph Operators Union: Madame Virginia Walters, prognosticatorg and Nancy Segar, Metropolitan Opera star. 7 Now, as we looked about, we could recognize the form of lovely Sayra Spahr beneath a slight silk gown, as she appeared midst the flooding shower 5 Han1'0 of brightness from a spot light, singing Loves Memories, to the delight of a group of small town visitors taking in the big city, including Clair Strock, Thelma Moyer, Barbara Mountz, Della Whitcomb, George Tritt, Annie Myers, Fay Mountz, William Howry, Grace Adams, Mildred Albright, and Munson Peebles. Another party entered from a late tour of the Chinese portion of New York, Chinatown, and we saw again Raymond Martin, Helen Konhaus, Anna Basehore, Violet Basehore, Warren Hunt, Lloyd Markle, Charlotte Beil and Olyve Gates. Lois Shellenberger, society editor of the 'ANew York Sun , assisted by Doris Rank and Ruth Miller interviewed us as we departed. Deciding to visit a Bowery mission, we entered a subway where Iohn Beistline, and Elwood Lehmer were guards, and Robert Reighter was in the change booth. When emerged from the train we met that pugnacious 'AKid Bitner, heavyweight champ- ion of the world, with his sparring partner, Ross Coble. The Kid looked rather calm and collected, under the circumstances, for he had just won the crown from the forty-four year old champion, Ioe Louis, in Madison Square Garden. A group of Salvation Army girls approached singing, and we recognized Dorothy Sense- man, Dorothy Brandt, Fay Duncan, Olive Sheely, Gladys Renard, Geraldine Dearborn, and Vera Holler. Upon entering the mission we found the Rev. Clinton Sadler, famed revival- ist, and Warren Fickes, presiding minister. A choir consisted of Ferne Rector, Ieannette Rider, Iosephine Elliot, Gladys Hollinger, Exley Gensler, and Martha Findley, with Martha Crone at the organ. Among a group of settlement workers preparing sandwiches and coffee we saw Doris Fahnestock, Helen Witmer, Mildred Starry, Margaret Witter, Florence Myers and Sara Eagle. Feeling almost more weary than during our Penguin expedition, we returned contentedly to our daily life in the land of the free and the home of the brave, S K Q 4' Wil'-El 1521, U-ul tv 21:2 1. rn 4- ' t X125 .
