M? fm Q! 24 g 1 I A QWWZQWZ WJ? PRELUDE As a Senior sits in his seat on commencement night and listens to the speaker, a feeling of sadness creeps over himw- he may not be willing to admit it, but it does-a feeling of sadness deep down in his heart. He tries to kid himself into believing that he is glad to get out of school. Is he successful in doing this? No, because in the six years during which he attended M. H. S. it grows to be a part of him, and he a part of it. This feeling, which united him with M. H. S., was The spirit of M. H. S. Within the following pages the staff has tried to capture and to preserve for you a lasting picture of this spirit. So, we dedicate this 1941 ARTISAN to The Spirit which is M.H.S.

This willing' ness to help was soon picked up by the students, thus creating a feeling of cooperation throughout the school. fPage 11j u 'sThe spirit behind the spirit can well be applied to the School Board of the Mechanicsburg High School because it acts as the guiding spirit of all M. H. S. activities. Most ofthe students do not realize that this group is indirectly responsible for everything which occurs in M. H. S. They are responsible for the hiring and firing of the teaching staff, they grant permission to classes and organizations to hold parties and dances in the school, and they act as trustees of the school treasury. MR. HEINAMAN, President Some concrete evidences of the work of the Board having a direct ejfect on the school life of every M. H. S. student are: enlarging the office by converting Room II into the Superintendent's office, making an office for Mr. Brandt and Mr. Haggerty, and installing the sound system. Although the Board was not directly responf sible for the installation of the sound system, without their approval it could not have been put in the school. The willingness of the Board to favor any action that will improve Mechanicsburg High School, their interest in keeping it well equipped, and the fact that all the members serve without receiving any salary prove that the power behind this organization is The Spirit of M. H. S. Heimimzm Kuhns Fisher Luvns Hurst Paul llrs. Simpson fPage 12j Which course shall I take this year? Would you advise me to take French or Latin? May I have permission to leave the building? To which college would you advise me to go? This is only a sample of the questions asked every day by the pupils of M. H. S. of the four people in the ojjice who are known as the Administration. ig Four Although the duties of the Principal, the Superf intendent and the Deans are many and varied, these four are striving primarily for one purpose, which is that each and every student in M. H. S. may get as much as he possibly can out of high school life. They do this by answering questions of the students,4quesf tions similar to those listed aboveP-, by giving the pupils advice on any of their problems and by cooperaf ting with all of the events and activities of the school. It is by this spirit of willingness to help and cof operate that the Administration proves they are really a perfect example ofthe Spirit of M. H. S. PERSONNEL Superintendent . . . .... E. B.

English, Latin and French are the languages taught in Mechanicsf burg High School, and there are several interesting methods employed in teachf ing English. Miss Basehore teaches grammar by means of pictures. Mr. Hamsher creates interest in his classes by choral reading, original poetry and prose. Mr. Haggerty presents a varied program especially adapted for' Com' mercial students. Business corresponf dence, current writers and problems are discu sed, and each student pref sents a written study of a vocation. Miss Stauffer is responsible for eleventh and twelfthfgrade English. An insight into English and American Literature is gained by the study of Chaucer and Shakespeare and by preparation of scrapbooks depicting the history of American Literature. Conversation is limited to French in Miss Zimmerman's classes. In addition to translating Sans Famille and L'Abbe Constantin, students sing French songs, play the games of France and learn their customs. The victorious days of the Roman Empire are reenacted by projects in Miss Vannauker's classes. Ballistas were studied, catapults were constructf ed, campaign maps of Gaul were drawn, and dolls were dressed to represent Roman soldiers and citizens. na' ore erba Miss Staujjfer was demonstratf ing the proper marginal width to be used in manuscript writing. She showed the class several papers with correct margins. 'Then she showed one with a margin too narrow and asked, What is wrong with this paper? A bright young fellow an' swered quickly, Too wide a mare gin at the bottom. fPage 151 Miss Ada T. Brackbill, B.S.

And now, with the presentfday trend, it is found that local boys who studied history in Mechanicsburg High School only a few years back are upholding the principles on which America was built. With a year of service these youths will be able to defend the cause of def mocracy. Mechanicsburg does her bit. heir Shadows As one recalls the passing of events during this year of school, it is found that another year of history has been made and shadows have been cast. Pupils must add to their understandf ing of history more knowledge, and even though history has repeated itself, dates, places and faces do change with the time. All phases of history are taught at M. H. S. In the grades the students obtain knowledge of the development of Europe from earliest times to the present. Pupils of the eighth and eleventh grades are instructed in Amerf ican history. The Freshmen and Seniors are given the study of the economic side of American life and government. Inf cluded in this study are problems of democracy, citizenship, and the ecof nomics of democracy. As a basic subject for other courses, geography is given to the seventh and eighth grade pupils. Not only do they learn the political and physical viewf points of the nations but also they learn of the races, the products and commercial importance of other counf tries. fPage 17j Mr. David D.

In the shop the students ofM. H. S. learn of the practical side of the world by making many household articles and doing repairs around the school. The abstract of the world is disf closed to pupils in the math classes where they are taken through a maze round Oh! look at me now. '- Boy, are you all wet! These remarks followed the eruption of a stream of water from a Bunsen Burner in the Chemistry lab. How did water get into a Bunsen Burner? Well, it's this way: it seems that the water faucets and gasfpipe openings in the lab are almost identical and more than one wouldfbe Einstein of M. H. S. has mistaken one for the other, with the result that they get a thorough drenching when they expect a gas flame. Or was it an intended victim? of theorems, cube roots, and quadratic equations. In the science labs the students Jirst learn of the wonders of the animal and mineral world. The mysteries of chemical changes are partially solved and the possibilities of greater things to be, are discovered by the pupil. These subjects make each student more conscious of the world around him because they deal especially with it and crystallize the thoughts of the pupil. fPage 19j Mrs. Arthur Moser, B.S.

While it is true that many of our most successful professional and business men of today grew up on the farm, there are large numbers whose chances of sucf cess would have been better had they engaged in farming rather than some hit or miss ocf cupation in the city. High school agricultural courses give farm youth a thorough training in this jield and encourage many with no dehnite purpose in going to the city to remain on the farm. TQ' ommercial Business training is no longer limited to the classroom! In order to better fit commercial students to take their places in the business world, this course of study has been expanded to give stu' dents an opportunity to receive actual experience in this field by placing as many as possible with various firms of the town. Farming becomes more scientific every yearg thus, special training in this field is necessary to prepare a young man to engage in the pursuit of agriculture. The entire agricultural setfup is based on science and engif neering and covers a wide range of subf jects and activities. Of major imporf tance in this study are such subjects as horticulture, animal, dairy and poultry husbandryg forestry, farm law, farm management, and farm mef chanics which includes numerous sub' divisions. 'Today there is an increasing demand for education in the field of Home Economics. Vocational Home Eco' nomics, instituted in M. H. S. three years ago as an elective course for girls of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades has proved interesting as well as beneficial to students choosing it as a part of their curriculum, and during its short period of existence has rapidly grown in popularity. General Home Economics, too, is a popular course, but is not so broad in its scope nor does it embrace as many subjects as the vocational training. fPage 21j Miss Bessie M.

Many of the finer things in life can be found in the courses offered in M. H. S. In the field of music one finds Mr. Morrette with the band organization and Mr. Clippinger directing the Glee Club and Girls' Ensemble. ' U be Spice Because the twofminute tardy bell had just sounded, the entire class settled down to work by getting needed materials from the supply room. Several pupils were returning to their seats when Mr. Wilson decided to change the instructions he had previously given the class, and said, Wait, class, I just thought of something. Drop every' thing and give me your attention! One student in the rear of the room took these remarks too litf erally, for he happened to be holding a box of crayons at the time. Crayons, box and all went crashing to the floor. Gym classes are supervised by Mr. Frederick and Miss Williams. Boys learn tumbling and girls folk dances. Miss Bear, librarian, has much to do with the selection of fine books which are found on the shelves in the library. Elective Art and Mechanical Drawf ing courses are under the able super' vision of Mr. Wilson. 8 . A , ,. 'il f Page 23 j 'N :Ht ?e 3?

The class has shown a live school spirit and a so willingness to cooperate in Rupp, Brown, Hollinger, Bliller, hir. Neiswenter activities. Outstanding representatives in athletics were Biddle, Sadler, Bill Shuman, L'Buzz Shuman, Koser, Engle, Brown, Ward, and Sunday. The girls' volleyball team, captained by Vera Loudon, captured the girls' volleyball championship. We were ably represented in the field of dramatics. Nine juniors aided in presenting the French play, Le Chanson de Cloiref' written by Marjorie Mohler and Lenore Cnau. 'LLeave It to Youth, our junior class play, was a great success. Included in the cast were Marjorie Mohler, Lenore Cnau, Bob Baker, Marian Fish, jean jones, Bernice Miller, Daryl Rector, Ruth Basehore, Bill Gable, Louise Burtncr, Sam Deckman, Sam Hollinger, Bob Engle, and Human Bruce. The play was directed by Mr. Neiswenter. Several juniors also took part in the annual Christmas play. The TORCH numbers many of its staff from among our class. Members are found in the band, orchestra, glee club, debating team, stage crew, and clubs. The juniorfSenior Prom in May climaxed class activities. Supervisors were Miss Zimf merman, Miss Hamilton, Mr. Hamsher, and Mr. Neiswenter, assisted by student comf mittees. fPage 46j Class through the year of By the time that this ARTISAN goes to print, we Sophomores will have completed half our highfschool career, and thus far, we may be justly proud of our achievements. We have elected varied extrafcurricular activities, our class being well represented both on the varsity and jayfvee football and basketball teams. On Wednesday, December 4, we presented our class assembly program, which included several instrumental solos, vocal numbers, skits, and a short play entitled Signals QQ.M We were quite proud of our first class party, which was given on Saturday, january 25, under the capable guidance of our class dean, Miss Brackbill, and homefroom teachers. This party was unique in having a floor show, which included acts, not only from members of our class, but also from faculty members, Freshmen, and upperclassmen. We danced, played pingfpong, cards, and many other games. All returned home much elated by the success of this, our j5rst big party! Many of our class members were active in the band, the orchestra, the glee club, and on the baseball and tennis teams. Our spring dance, held in April, and open to outsiders, closed this busy but happy year. Now we may look forward to the second half of our highfschool career, hoping that it will be even better than the memorable past. 0.

ITH the return of eight lettermen, three backs and Jive linemen, prospects were good. The backs were: Bill Biddle, Bess Sadler, and George Day, and the linemen: Robert Rupp, William l Sadler, Mervin Rupp, Arthur Martin and Donald Koser, who was converted to the backffield. To reinf force the group, Coach Frederick had Lloyd Cline, Bradford Strock, Paul Kann, George Kolhass and Her' bert Getz, all of whom had been on the Varsity the pref 1 vious season. Promising material from the jayfVees i included William Shuman, Edgar Ward, Mark Werner, john Eakin, Glenn Fertenbaugh, William Wertz, Charles Rupp, Clifford Brown, Marshall l F leagle, Donald Adams, Lester Reed and Robert Shu' man. As the season wore on, Reed, Adams, Getz, Brown and R. Shuman all won starting positions for some of the games. Our schedule was tough, but our spirits were high. Our prst game, which was the dedication of our lighting system, brought a new opponent to our field, Elizabethtown. The Wildcats found this to be an easy victory, 3170.

Then, in the second period, Bess took the ball on an off tackle slant and ran 4 3 yards for the touchdown. Rupp conf verted the extra points on placements. The jfth consecutive victory was the defeat of Middletown I3-O. In this game the whole M. H. S. forward wall played an outstanding game. Before the largest crowd ever assembled in Memorial Park, and with five consecutive victories and a goalfline still un' crossed, the Steel and Maroon met the Waynesboro Tornado with the spirit to do or die.

Wildcats of '40, continued The next game found the Wildcats defeating the Chambersburg entry 6-0 on the loser's field. Although the Steel and Maroon played superior ball, our oppof nents threatened to cross our goalfline on two occasions. On a cold and wintry evening, the Wildcats continued their surge to the top by downing a gallant Gettysburg team, 6-o. Our only touchdown came as a result of Bess Sadler's spectacular 8ofyard run. The Wildcats were handed their second setback at the hands of New Cumberland, the extra point being the deciding factor. New Cumberland scored in the first period as a result of a blocked punt, and M. H. S. scored in the second period when Neff broke through and blocked a punt. The ball was then worked to the 7fyard line where Cline skirted left end for the score. The extra point, a pass from Proddy to Day, was incomplete, and the final score stood 7-6. Superior line play was shown by Karin, Kolhass, Buzzy Shuman and Neff. A wintry day brought the ancient rivals together on the C. H. S. field for their traditional Thanksgiving game. Because of the muddy field, there were no specf tacular offensive thrusts by either team. Bob Rupp's long punts kept the Thunderf ing Herd away from the MfBurg goalf line, and Cliff Brown, substituting for the injured Sadler, and Chuck Cline proved to be excellent ball carriers. When the final whistle had blown, the two teams had battled to a O-O deadlock with each team marking up one first down. Bill Sadler's line play broke up many of Coach Eby's surprises. The spirit of the team of 1940 will always echo in the halls ofM. H. S. This was the last game for R. Rupp, Kolhass, Reed, Adams, Cline, Werner, and Strock who will be graduated in june. Also, Martin, B. Shuman and Day will be lost. These boys are all too old to compete again next year. ilaheittens Coach Fortney had very little experienced material to work with. Altogether there J.

Alf though there were very few boys who had previous experience they all had the spirit and determination that would see them through the season. One of the stiffest schedules in recent years faced this squad. As an opener the Wildkittens traveled to Harrisburg to play' the Edison juniors. Alf though they came out on the short end of a 32'I 3 score they showed a scoring punch. Mike Horning scored all of their points. In the next game with Enola the team showed improvement but lost by the score of 14-6. The team then traveled to Hershey where they were defeated 26-13. This was a very tough game and these young boys showed that they had what it takes. On Friday, Nov. I the Wildkittens met the undefeated, untied New Cumberland team. This game was played in a downpour but that had little to do with stopping the New Cumberf land power. They rolled up a score of 28-6. Next came the Steelton game. On the second play of the game a Steelton back got loose for a 45fyard touchdown run. Then the Wildkittens came to life with a counter attack which netted 6 first downs and a sixfpointer. After this Steelton scored three more times to win 26-6. Next came the Camp Curtin game. These Harrisburg lads had no mercy and rolled up a lopsided score of 39-6. The Kittens looked very good against this large array of stars. The final game was with the ancient rival Carlisle. The team had worked hard and on the 22d of November the spirit of these boys proved that they could win this final game and they won the most important game of the season by the score of 27-6. The Kittens looked like a different teamg they passed, they ran, and nothing could stop them. Owen Chisley was outstanding performer in the game for the under' Slf'Lld'lCS.

Tryouts for Cheerleaders are given in the spring of the year to all students inf terested and the best of that group are voted upon by the student body in the fall.

H. S. In the first conference game Mechanicsf burg proved to be a threat by downing Waynesboro 36-21. Strock and Sadler together scored 20 of the Wildcats' points. Inability to stop long shots proved to be the downfall of the quintet as Gettysburg defeated them 28f24. Trailing at halff time, 21-10, the spirit of Coach johnny Frederick's five was still high, as they fought an uphill battle with a count of27-25 and a minute to play. Brubaker made a goal to tie the score, and each team made a foul shot, then Bess Sadler, who had played a spectacular game all evening, intercepted a Cfburg pass and scored the winning two points as the final gun sounded. Led by the Sadler brothers, the Wildcats defeated their next two conference foes, Hershey and Carlisle, by the respective scores of 47-37 and 34-18. Shippensburg defeated M. H. S. 44-42 in a free scoring ball game. Les Reed led the Wildcats to victory in their next two conference games by downing Hanover and Waynesboro to the tune of 32-17 and 37-26. Mechanicsburg toured to Gettysburg, only to be defeated by the Conference Leaders, 35-22. Les Reed hit the hoops for II points to lead the visitors. The Wildcats jumped back into the winning column by downing Hershey 42-23. With Stewart leading the oppof nents' scoring, Cfburg gained revenge by defeating Mfburg 46-36. Bill Sadler and Strock led the offensive for the Wildcats. Carlisle turned the tables on the Wildcats by defeating them 24-20. Led by Bess Sadler, Les Reed and Biddle's spectacular defensive play, the Steel and Maroon def feated Shippensburg and Hanover by the scores of 3 TMZ4 and 3QA26. unior With Chisley, Cates, Fertenbaugh and Rupp returning to the fold, Coach Thomas and his prospects had a fairly successful season after they finally got started. These four veterans and Fleagle led the team. Fleagle was high scorer with 101 points. The lettermen were Chisley, Fertenbaugh, arsity Fleagle, Herman, M. Rupp, Shandlemeir, Sheely, Westfall, and Keet. Many promising players were developed on this year's squad, and prospects for varsity material look good for the coming season according to Coaches Frederick and Thomas. ? he ff QM X W f K 4' 4 NJ , 3 1,1 , i l X 1, r V 0 N? yu l f ff ,f.i,,, l ' sff' Q .

During an eventful season the juniors emerged victorious by defeating both the Senior and Freshman teams. In order to win a game, a team must win two out of the three played. The first game of the season was staged between the Freshf men and the Sophomores with the former racking up scores Of2I-I4 and 21712. Due to the fact that the Freshmen outscored the Sophf omores, they met their next opponents, the junior team, and were handed a defeat to the score of 21-11 and 21-19.

Although the Band marched for all the games of the season and held three weekly inf strumental practices, they still took time three evenings a week to drill for an hour after school under the supervision of Marlin E. Morrette, the die rector, who this year had the Band do many unique maneuvers on the football field. The most spectacuf lar of these stunts was the formation of a human flagf pole around a gigantic crepe American flag which had been made by members of the Band. Blubalw' Seylel' Hfffzlffr Mosher, Coney When football season was over, the Band got out its Christmas music and practiced in preparation for a concert that was given on the local square and for the Christmas parade in Harrisburg, at which they won the first prize for class B Bands. After Christmas these musically minded people started work on their midfwinter concert. It was at this time that a drive was made to enable the organization to expand and purchase new instruments. The manager, Miss Brackbill, ordered Blue' Cross adhesive strips which were sold to the citizens of Mechanicsburg by members of the Band. Letters sent by the Band to the organizations of the town asking for contributions that would enable the Band to swell its treasury, were answered generously. - The financial aid received from these organizaf tions enabled the Band to better balance its inf strumentation for the formal concert in january. This musical program was presented to a larger audience than had ever before attended an M. H. S. Band concert in the auditorium. This organization has proved, by its loyal support of the gridiron eleven during the football season, by the entertainment it has provided for the students of M. H. S., and the citizens of the locality, by its participation in marching contests, and by entering such competitions as the Forensic League Contests, that it is indeed a true example of The Spirit of M.

In this respect vocal music has been a popular vehicle. Under the competent direction of Mr. Robert S. Clippinger the Glee Club met twice weekly for study and practice. Mem' bers were chosen for their musical ability and interest. Carefully selected numbers of both sacred and secular music were chosen with a view to program building. Three subdivisions of the Glee Club are the Girls' Ensemble consisting of Marian Fish, Mary Kumler, jean Miller, Mary Mosher, Mary Paul, Peggy Wood, Phyllis Loscher, Beth McKee, Mildred Musselman, Ruth Schwalm, Marie Slothour, Phyllis Wilson, Pearl Witmer, and two male quartets, Clarence Stoner, Samuel Hollinger, Donald Glenn, Donald Koser, Paul Bow' man, Vernon Ficlges, Fred Stoner, and George Wagner. These groups have come plied with requests for musical entertainf ment from civic, patriotic, and religious organizations. In order to raise money for collapsible risers, the Glee Club presented a concert on March 21. Following the soloists, smaller ensembles and the Glee Club entered the Forensic and Music League Contest. Under the leadership of the following ojicers: President, Beth McKee, VicefPresif dent, Oscar Seylerg Secretary, Samuel I'Iolf linger, and Treasurer, Donald Koser, and the director, the purposes to stimulate music appreciation and to provide experience for those who wish to serve in choir organizaf tions were carried out capably.

So a substitute was used, and an able one. K. Ezra Bucher, faculty member, portrayed 'LGrumpy,l' supported by a cast of thirteen. Though often discouraged and disapf pointed by the tiresome task of directing, Miss Reida Lonenecker, nevertheless, guided the production in a capable manner. Her efforts were not in vain, as was proved by the two performances given on February I 3 and I4 in the high school auditorium. The plot of the drama centers around the mysterious disappearance of the Lawf Living with Mr. Bullivant was his youthful granddaughter, Virginia. She understood the old lawyer and could overf look his somewhat offensive attitude. As the portrayer of Virginia, fayne Schell ably acted this role. Ernest Heron, Grumpy's nephew, was sent by his firm in Africa to bring a valuable gem to an agent in London. Upon arriving there he spent the night with his uncle, where the diamond was stolen and he painfully hurt. Great credit is due to Elmer Fry who acted this character quite favorably. son diamond which was brought to London, where the setting of the prof duction takes place. Mr. Bullivant was an old criminal lawyer and a very fussy old gentleman. Because of his unpleasant disposition he was given the name Grumpy, yet he was loved by those of his household.

The family doctor, Donald Orris, with his chattering and overdressed wife, Beth McKee, were there, and Grumpy, try as he did, was unable to evade Mrs. Maclaren, whom he claimed he hated, which all added to the hilarity of the play. Mr. Jarvis, the romantic, yet villainous character of the play, is portrayed by Robert Kintzer. This gentleman crook, together with his valet, Frank Highberger, plotted the robbery which, at the end, leaves Mr. Jarvis in a sad predicament. LEFT: The Zero Hour Approaches .' He even went so far as to encourage the jewel buyer, Mr. Valentine Wolfe, played by Donald Morton, to make a purchase. Mr. Bullivant's faithful household comprised four of the cast. His old loyal valet, Ruddock, supplied much of the laughter of the comedy, but an excepf tionally good portrayal of this character by Charles Osborne added to the quality of the play. Susan was the attractive yet bashful maid. Jeanne Stahl gave a true conception of this part. Both the housekeeper, Mrs. Merridew, played by Betty Brownawell, and Dawson, the butler, acted by Donald Souder, though their parts were small, increased the enjoyf ment of the production by capable imf personation. fPage 791 eewe Leave It to Touthl' was the stage performance presented by the Class of Q42 of the Mechanicsburg High School on December I2 and I3 in the school auditorium. The play, written by Ralph Bichard, was under the direction of the class dean, Mr. Neiswenter. This comedy, in three acts, took place in the home of the Alders near the campus of Pacific Institute of Technology in Southern California. The play had an unusually large cast, fourteen in all, who rendered a fine presentation to two delighted audiences. Dr. Raymond Alder CRobert Bakerb was a scienf tist on the faculty of the Pacifc Institute. He had a charming but impractical wife, Lois, who was afraid of losing her youthful appearance and growing old. To reassure herself, she clings to the attention which men give her. Marjorie Mohler very capably por' trayed this character. The Alders had three children: Delphine CLouise Burtnerj, twentyg Andy CWilliam Gablej nineteeng and Bunny Cfean fonesj, fifteen, Mrs. Alder kept Andy off the football team and decked Bunny in short dresses to keep her from giving her age away. Poor management often found Lois in debt. 0 Youth!! Consequently, she was very pleased when Mr. Engle CDaryl Rectorj, VicefPresident of Synthetics, Limited, gave an offer of 850,000 for a process of extracting cellulose from cornstalks. With him was an assistant for Dr. Alder, Paul Devereaux CSamuel Hollingerj. Delphine's interest in Paul became quite intense. It was not long, however, till Mrs. Alder found interest, not only in Matt Nloore, Public Speaking Instructor at the Institute CRobert Englej, but also in Paul Devereaux and Lynn Craig CSam Deckmanj, Andy's friend. Something must be done about Mother, so the family thought. Other members of the cast were: Opal fRuth Basehorej, a friend of Delphine and Andyg Dyke Butler QHerman Brucej, captain of the football team at Pacific Institute and the heartfthrob of Bunnyg Alice fMarian Fishj, the girl with the conscienceg assistant technician to Dr. Adler CBernice Millerjg Lupie CLen0re Gnaub, the Spanish maid and all' round helper of the family. The Class of '42 can, indeed, be proud of this production, and much credit is due to the members of the funior Class who made the performance possible. fPage 80j battle 's Aunt CHARACTERS CIN THE ORDER OF APPEARANCEJ Brassett ....,..........,., Carl M.

Bear This refreshing comedy was selected by the faculty of M. H. S. to be presented as their theatrical production for 1941. Charley's Aunt was frst produced in 1892 and although some of the lines had to be changed because they made the play seem oldffashioned to modern audiences, the theme was untouched. Today many of the plays that, like L'Charley's Aunt, were popular in the gay nineties are being staged again. These productions serve as almost the only link between the present and the nineties. The plot of Charley's Aunt is: jack Cheney and Charles Wylqham are in love with Kitty Verdun and Miss Spittigue, respectively. Charley, whose aunt, Donna Lucia d'Alvaf dorez, is expected to arrive from Brazil, invites his friend and the tivo girls to lunch to meet his illustrious aunt. When she fails to show up in time for the engagement, Lord Fancourt Babberly, saves the day by dressing as a woman and posing as the aunt. However, the real aunt does get there just a little late and assumes the name of Mrs. Smith. All of this adds up to an entertaining play with an intriguing plot which, when it winds its way to the climax, offers the audience many laughs. fPage 81j ,J ,J fP:zge 821 LUCILLE Bell and Frank Highlaergef me the choice of the Senior Class as the two seniovs possessing outstanding leadership. ,WZ Wd W ni W If ,W wth X! l 'W it V p W COOPERATION, leadership, and the ability to get along with one another were all practiced in organizations.

H. S. News Purveyorf Many Changes Seen For fifteen consecutive years THE TORCH has served as the purveyor of M. H. S. news and as a medium for the spreading of the indomitable spirit of our school. A sharp contrast, however, is noted in the set-up of present-day publications as compared to the simple design of pioneer issues. A member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Pennsylvania Press Association, and the East-West Shore Press Association, THE TORCH published monthly, stands out today as one of the leading publications of its kind. Its organization, patterned some- what after that of a daily newspaper, includes two departments, the Editorial Staff, which is responsible for the com- pletion of THE TORCH, and the Business Staff, which handles business affairs such as advertising and cir- culation. The following people, members of THE TORCH Staff, are listed in order of their appearance in the picture. Lois Jean Rector, Reporter, Betty Fought, Typist, James Robinson, Assistant Business Manager, Gerald Wenger, Typist, Don Orris, Circulation Department, Daryl Rector, Circulation Manager, Cliff Brown, Sports Reporter, Bob Engle, Sports Reporter, Tawilla Messersmith, Reporter, June Nailor, Typist.

H. S. Last year, for the first time, a group of Juniors was selected to form a nucleus for the National Honor Society in the Mechanicsburg High School. This year they organized with the following oiiieers: President, Neil Mil- ler, vice-president, Geraldine Wenger, secretary, Pauline Zimmerman, treas- urer, Jeanne Stahl. At the end of the year the Society was enlarged by the selecting of honor students rated by the teachers and by fellow students. These students were chosen on the basis of their character, service, leadership, and scholarship. ORC H ECHOOL, MAY, 19111 M. H. S. Qffers Journalism Course For First Time initiate New Class With Fourteen Senior Members In order to afford students an oppor- tunity to receive training in beginning ncwswriting, a new course, elective Journalism, was instituted this year. As a result of munerous field trips, students were enabled to put into actual practice the principles of journalism, by writing articles from information gained by their surveys of several institutions and industries. Included in these trips were a visit to the site once occupied by Irving College, a tour of the Evangeli- cal Press, a journey made by four girls to the Mont Alto Sanitorium, and a tour of the D. VVilcox Manu- facturing plant taken by the boys of the class. Experience in the field of journalism was also obtained by articles written in publicizing various scholastic activities such as the Junior and Senior plays. The outstanding function of the class, perhaps, was its assistance in the publication of THE TORCH. These student journalists also managed various affairs in connection with 'ITIIE ARTISAN. Carl IXI. Hamsher was adviser of the Journalism class, which was composed of the following fourteen members: Lucille Bell. lietty Brownawcll, Frances Clark, Ada Coller, Janet Coover, Beth Mcliec, Neil Miller, Don- ald Morton, Frank Mosher, Charles Osborne, Oscar Seyler, Bradford Strock, Alice Zimmerman, and Pauline Zimmerman. Sound System Used in initiating Novel Weekly News Broadcasts I'tilizing the newly installed sound system, the weekly broadcast, spon- sored hy THE TORCH was inau- gurated this year. As the musical strains of the theme song, 'tPushin' the Conversation Along, poured into the classrooms, students were apprised of the fact that the broadcast was Non the air. These programs, consisting of in- 1 formative items as well as those of general interest, proved their popular- ity among the student body and a true Hsehool spirit was evidenced by co- operative efforts of students and teach- ers in making TORCII broadcasts a success. Members of the journalism class alternated in the presentation of this weekly program. Handbook Again Published for Convenience of Students and Faculty Spring of 1940 found the staff of the 1941 Handbook busily at work under the direction of Mr. llaggerty, adviser and l'Il'.II1li Highbergcr, editor. Information was speedily gathered and written up by the staff which included: Frank llighbcrger, Editor, Lucille Bell, Assistant Editor, Ada Collcr, Jeanne Stahl, Elmer Fry, Neil f Page 85 j I l l Miller and the following typists: Ray Martin, Betty Getz, .lane Grundon and .lane Schell. By the close of tl1e 1940 school year all copy was ready to be sent to the printer. During the summer proof was read: the Hduimnyl' was made up, and by August all was ready for the opening day of school. ff est Forget ln the year IQKZQ, Mechanicsburg High School ofhcially named its yearbook THE ARTISAN.
