I am glad to give you permission to use the LIFE format as the theme for your yearbook, but I am unable to give you a blanket permission to reproduce any of the pictures which appear on the LIFE cover. The reason for this is simply that many of the photographs which are used are not LIFE's property--we merely have prior repro- duction rights. Should you decide to use the LIFE format, I would appreciate receiving a dummy of the cover before publi cation. In making your plans, there are a few rules which I must ask you to observe: l. The Word LIFE must not appear in a box, regardless of color, either on the cover or anywhere in the publication. 2. The band at the bottom of the cover must not have a jag but must be a straight line all the Way across. 3. It must be stated on the cover that the book is being published by the school. These rules are laid down to avoid confusion and to protect our registered trademarks Which, I am sure you can appreciate, are of the greatest value. Here's wishing you every success with the 1942 Artisan Sincerely yours, yt... 14. fa., Assistant to the General Manager Miss Marian Fish Mechanicsburg Borough School District Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 0 , .4- vymfv g..1, V, . .

LONG heads the administrators with his top-ranking organizing ability and never-tiring service to the Mechanics- burg High School. During several months of his last year in college Mr. Long taught at Cresson as a substitute for a teacher who was in Wvorld VVar l. After being graduated from college he became a teacher at Shippensburg, then princi- pal at Lemoyne and, finally supervis- ing principal at Millersburg. Mr. Long was granted his A.B. degree from Dickinson College and his .-LM. degree from Columbia Uni- versity Teachers College, and will continue his studies there this sum- mer when he will procure his Ph.D. degree. M. H. S.'s Superintendent is known for his excellent advisorship in Student Council. He is well-versed in music and greatly enjoys it. He plays a violin and at one time played a piano. Until Mr. Long was graduated from Central High School in Harrisburg, he played in the high school orches- tra. Later he played in a professional orchestra in Harrisburg. Second Lieutenant Former Dean of Boys, IJAVID D. BRANDT, A.B., B.D., woodworker, musician, stamp-collector, and flower- grower extraordinary, has been principal of Mechanicsburg Schools for eighteen years. Coming to M. H. S. in IQZI, he four years later attained his present position which requires patience and the expenditure of considerable time for students and their problems. Being with young people helps keep me young, says Mr. Brandt. He enjoys teaching mathematics, believes it a vital, living subject. An inveterate traveler, he has traveled through thirty-seven states of the Union and parts of Canada.

Us- ing the furniture from the old teachers' room, a committee com- posed of Miss Dorothy Hamilton, Miss Eva Arbegast, and Joseph VVilson completely renovated the room. Books, magazines, and several plants were added to make a com- pletely comfortable lounge. P Dean of Girls, Margaret H. Stauffer, last October and November interviewed a total of seventy-two senior girls and plans in future years to interview all ninth-grade girls, to help them plan their high school courses. P Spanish was presented for the first time this year as an elective in both commercial and academicjunior class sections, although it is now being given to academic pupils. Prior to the school year 1941-42, the three- year junior high school plan was in- troduced in M. H. Under this system, all ninth-graders have the same classes, and the selection of courses and electives is postponed until the sophomore year. P In order to improve the assembly vocalizing, the Glee Club was seated in the front rows of the center section of the auditorium. Before each assembly period, the Club rehearsed the songs to be sung. P Dean of Boys, James G.Haggerty, interviewed fifty-eight boys of the class of 1941. Of this number, thir- teen are planning to enter colleges and universities, thirty-two to seek employment, two to join the navy, two to go into aviation. Eight are as yet undecided. PAs one of the spring activities sponsored by the Administration, the annual Rural Guest Day was held Friday, May 8, with pupils from Lower Allen, Monaghan, Upper TIME, M.H.S. 1942 ADMINISTRATION Allen, Monroe, and Hampden Town- ships attending. These students were shown several different activities and features of the school, including an assembly program. Gentlemen from Town Newly painted, cream-colored li- brary walls, defense classes organized, Spanish added to the high school curriculum, an Atlas milling machine purchased for the shop, are the various things the Board of Directors of the Mechanicsburg High School have done to improve M. H. S. Mechanicsburg's citizen school administrators are the following: Howard H. Heinaman, President, Parker H. Kuhns, Vice-President, Mrs. Margaret Iii. Simpson, Secre- tary, George If. Hurst, Treasurerg Guy H. Lucas, VV. Fisher, Heiks Paul. Acting upon the suggestion made by If. F. Thomas, Shop Instructor, the school board purchased an Atlas milling machine. The purpose of the machine is to give the boys taking shop a training on machinery from which they may benefit in later life. The milling machine is used for working on metal with a rotary cut- ter which the shop students used for cutting plain surfaces, gears, and key ways. The machine was set up by one of the boys who take shop. The school board revised the High School curriculum by changing Alge- bra I and Latin I to tenth grade, thus TIME, M.H.S. 1942 MECHANICSBURG,S SCHOOL BOARD Projectors making ninth grade a part ofjunior high school work. Spanish was also added to the High School course for the 1941-42 term. In keeping with the national emergency the directors have organ- ized various useful defense courses for the benefit of people in the com- munity and its surroundings. They have granted a meeting-place for the first-aid classes, conducted by the local Red Cross chapter. A defense course is being given to teach farmers how to repair and keep in good order their present farm machinery. This certainly is some- thing useful with the present war going on, due to the fact that prob- ably some parts of the machinery will be hard to get or unavailable. Besides adding new equipment to the shop, and sponsoring defense classes, the directors saw that the library walls were painted this last summer. Very often the students forget that the members of the school board do a lot ofgood for both the students and the school. But this year as well as other years the faculty and students can be proud of their up-to- the-minute ideas and their willing- ness to make Mechanicsburg High School a better place in which to learn. Tarcliness Terror Guidance-Principal duty of M. H. S.'s girlguider, Miss MAR- GARET Ii. STAUFFER, A.B.-graduate of Pennsylvania State College and Gettysburg College. She is very helpful to those who desire her services. Many senior girls depend largely upon the counsel which she gives them in helping to make decisions for their futures. This is also true of freshmen when they must decide upon the course which they wish to follow. One of the dislikes in her line of duty, she says, is that of the pep talk with those who have failures. Tardiness is one thing in particular which she tries to prevent, and in the past year her efforts have been well worth while. When asked for an incident which she will always remember during her services she had to concentrate quite a bit. So many things happen, she said, that it is really hard to remember anything in particular. However, I do recall this: In one of my classes there was a boy who wrote so poorly that he could not even read his own writing. One day while speaking to the boy about this handicap, I said to him, 'Don't you pity me?' In all serious- ness the boy replied, 'I don't know, I never tried to read your writing.' When looking back over the good places of high school life, among the many things to remember will be the services of Miss Stauffer. 11 ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY Faculty Play Fashioner As M. H. S. Dean of Boys, JAMES G. HAGGERTY holds a position un- equalled perhaps by any in the school for requirements of tact, patience, sympathy, and wisdom. Beyond his duties of vocational, educational and counseling of the boys, he takes care of the absentees and tardiness, a task which demands patience. livery morning he is kept busy giving all the boys blue cards. Not all of them get blue cards-if they can prove they were sick he gladly presents them with a white card. The white card, by the way, represents legal absence. Re- main after school an hour if you can't give a valid excuse, is one of his daily remarks to the boys who are tardy. He efficiently supervises the School Crier, which you hear every Friday morning. VVith complete charge of the handbook and as business ad- viser of The Torch he is kept busy. .Association with the students is his favorite pastime. He likes to be a friend ofeveryone. To discriminate against other people because of social or financial status is one of his bitter dislikes. According to his philosophy everyone is equal. VVhen prominent employers call the oliice and want a good, trust- worthy, capable boy for a position, they take it for granted that Mr. Haggerty will find some such person. With his good judgment he usually pleases the employer. In Uncle Sam's large Army and Navy there are many boys at the different camps who write to him regularly, and he never lets anything interfere with answering them. A Handy Boyd VVell lfortneyfied by Coach BOYD l70R'rNEY are the junior varsity teams.

MACLAY KELLEY, B.S., M.I-id. graduate of Shippensburg State Teachers College, student at Penn State, and Lebanon Valley College, and now demagogue in Social Stud- ies, is a statistician-extraordinary. Known to his friends as Mac he completed countless pages of sta- tistics concerning Mechanicsburg athletics, not the least of which is a systematic compilation of all football scores since the first game in 1919 up to the present. As business manager ofall M. H. S sports and also representative to the Southern Pennsylvania Inter- scholastic Athletic Association, he is kept continually on the jump, attending meetings, scheduling games, selling tickets, having ofiicials ready and performing countless other tasks. Indeed Mr. Kelley is the man behind the man behind the teams at Mechanicsburg. Dickens Disciple Into Mechanicsburg High School came CARI, M. HAMSHER A.B., M.A., in 1934, to accept a substitute teach- ei-'s position. In 1935 he was made a full-time pedagogue of pronouns, two years following his graduation from Gettysburg College. Always rated highly in M. H.

FREDERICK, earner of a B.S. degree in Physical Education at the University of Illinois, and an M.A. in the same study at Columbia, is well worthy of the title. His gridiron coaching record at M. H.

Aside from her importance as an instructress, the responsibility of keeping the M. H. S. band intact lies on her shoulders, as she is the faculty manager and quite an emcient one at that. Diligently working to keep the financial affairs on the blue side of the ledger, and at the same time being sure the members have a neat appearance, she Ends her work difficult but not uninteresting.

A. adviser is compact, pleasant-voiced ALBERT S. Mowmw, B.S., State College Alumnus. Responsible for the appearance of chicken brooders on the M. H. S. scene, his work with the Future Farmers has been outstanding. Ice-cream manufacturers and cattleraisers, versatile Future Farmers, under his supervision make farm machinery and equipment, learn crop-rotation routines, and methods of testing soil for lime content. Recently this knowledge was put to use by farmers of the com- munity who had their soil tested free of charge. Mr. Mowery has also given much time to a night school attended by a large group of men. Built in I937, the shop and agriculture building has become the center of great activity. Much credit is due Mr. Mowery.

NISSLEY, SPANGLER TI-IE CLIPPINGERS Sperizzlirlr If Miss Nissley would take .up the art of weaving, she would have the creative ability to do something not many people attempt. She designs, cuts her patterns and makes her own dresses. No one wonders then that she designates arts and crafts as her No. I like. She also, when outdoors, votes for tennis, skating and hiking.

Seniors began their work by publishing the seventh annual edition of the Student Handbook during the summer months. VVilliam Sun- day was the editor-in-chief and Robert lfngle his assistant. As usual, the position of the presidency of Student Council was filled by a member of the Senior Class. This year YVilliam Shuman was chosen as president. Football season opened October 3 and found Bill Biddle, who was later to be elected honorary captain for 1941, Bill Sadler, Don Koser, Buzz Shuman, Cliff Brown, Herbie Getz, Fd VVard, Paul Kann, Bill VVertz, Dick Coble, john Fakin, Bob Stauffer and George lfngle representing the Senior Class on the gridiron.

H. S.'s history. November I4 brought to the Nl. H. S. stage Mrs. O'l.eary's Cow which was a portion of the P. T. A. Show. The cast was com- posed entirely of Seniors. They were: Alice Rodgers, Marian Fish, Robert Baker, Lenore Gnau, Peggy Wood, Samuel Hollinger and Bernice Miller.

As December rolled around, some of the best basketeers were found to be from the graduating class. Those boys were Bill Biddle, Cliff Brown, Bill Sadler, Bill Sunday and Bob Rngle. The New Fur Coat and Why Lie About It? made up the Senior Assembly. Both plays were come- dies, enacted by Lorayn Bender and Samuel Deckman, Robert Baker, Mary Kumler and Nancy Yvhitman. One of the greatest achievements of the year was the Senior Play, Square Crooksf' which was given February 5 and 6 in the High School Auditorium.

Those in the cast were Herman Bruce, the leading man, Marian Fish, Marjorie Mohler, Donald Koser, Bernice Miller, Richard Coble, Ruth Schwalm, ,lean Jones, VVilliam YVertz, Daryl Rector and Robert Sheffer.

The Class of '41 also had many musicians and it was well repre- sented in the Band and Glee Club. ln' the latter part of the year, when baseball came into season, there were several from the grad- uating class who were in there doing their best on the diamond. To begin the last few months of high school was the writing of the Basehore Essay by Seniors. ln May the Seniors were guests of the Juniors at the annual junior- Senior Prom. During the entire last semester Seniors were seen busily working on The Afrlisan, of which Marian Fish was editor-in-chief. To finish their high school educa- tion the Seniors' held a Class Day at Hershey Park,followed by a banquet. As a climax of their high school career the Seniors received their hard-earned diplomas on June 9. The Sunday prior to graduation, Baccalaureate services were held in the M. H.

Sadie Hawkins Revelry Q-saw, 'Q Past, Present-One Year To Go N exceptional classf' even if it was our Class llean, M r. Neiswenter, who said so. We don't want to boast, but we have cer- tainly made things hum around lVI.H.S. and have had a happy and a full year. Hoping that the future will be as fine as the past, we look forward eagerly to be- ing Seniors, and we are con- fident that, with the en- couraging guidance of our teachers, we shall leave Footprints that perhaps another QSenior Classj, see- ing, may take heart again. Wle have, this past year, left a few tracks. In scho- lastic attainment, in sports, in extra-curricular activi- ties, in our assembly pro- gram, in the French program and in the class play we have shown extraordinary alertness. Let us take a close look. Marching Band is a junior and we had our own Class Swing Band to play for our assembly. This Wednesday after- noon entertainment was unique in the annals of assemblies. Modeled after I'IelZapoppin, and with every bit of work, even unto the scene-shifting, done by us Juniors, it was well worth seeing, as many members of the audience afterward attested. Another popular assem- bly program that was well received was the annual French program. As we all know, Miss Zimmerman en- courages the literary minded by selecting an original play to present on the stage, and this time an excellent one was chosen, written by a Junior. There were many of us in the cast also. One of the biggest hap- Members of the Junior Class Starred In STUDIES, SPORTS, BROADCASTS, MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS, THE JUNIOR PLAY, AND CLOSED THE YEAR TRIUMPHANTLY WITH THE JUNIOR PROM. The juniors have had good grades. We have been awake in our classes, eager to go and ready to learn. The list of junior names found on the I-Ionor Roll shows this. In sports we have given contributions to the school football, basketball and baseball teams, and in the inter-class basketball tournament we were runners-up. We are to be found on the cheerleading squad, for we support our teams. When our School Criern staff was revised, many Juniors were added, and they gave freely from the store of such wit as they had to make the broadcast better. Search in Band, Orchestra and Glee Club and you will see many junior faces. VVe take great interest in the finest things of life. The drum-majorette of the penings in the history of any Junior Class is the Class Play. This time it was called Yes and No, and was a great triumph, thanks to the cast. Every one of us did something to help in its production, and we were very proud of our first dramatic venture. Then, toward the end of the year, the much-antici- pated, long-lociked-forward-to event approached, the Junior Prom. Instead of calling in a decorator, we did the work ourselves, and Linder the capable direction of Mr. Wilson the gymnasium was metamorphosed into a battleship. On the big night the deck was a mass of shifting color, of swirling skirts and fast-flying feet. These are lovely memories. A score of such should last a lifetime. -I0 Home Room 17 l z-ml! lQu:4': f1lIfSl12lH, lfickus, Ciilmlwlu, Guy, Fry, Grumlrm, LQKPHUY.

And how! ARE now beginning to feel quite grown-up, having completed our Freshman year and at last entering into high school life as sophisticated Sophomores. Un VVednesday, December 3, the Sophomore Class presented its assembly program, a one-act mystery comedy entitled Short of Murder. VVe discovered quite a lot ofacting talent. Miss Bear and Mr. Clippinger, with the help of Miss Brackbill and Mr. Fortney, were the very capable directors. Our class members were quite active in football and basketball, as well as baseball. Our girls won the Volleyball Tournament, defeating the Freshmen, juniors, and Seniors. Our basketball team succeeded in overcoming the Freshmen and Juniors, suffering defeat only at the hands of the Seniors. We were well represented in the majority of the clubs and several of our members took part in various assembly programs. Although we are now ready to proudly enter our Junior year, we cannot help remembering with, perhaps, a sigh for the days gone by, our outstanding Sophomore year.

XYhen a certain act of the Council was questioned as to its authority, it was discovered that there were no available copies of the former Constitution, which had heen in use since the Council's founding in 1930. A Constitutional Committee was appointed which met with Superintendent li. B. Long, the adviser, once a week for several months hefore finishing the new Con- stitution. It was adopted. As a completely new and ditlierent feature of the Constitution, .Article Yl, Section l, provides that the memhers of Council representing home rooms and classes of the eleventh and twelfth grades shall consti- tute a judicial hotly known as the 'I'rihunal. Although the 'I'rihunal did not function during the past year, it will he put into active use next year. The president of the Council will act also as president of the Trihunal. Another change in the running of the Council was the suggestion that instead of meeting every other lfriday. as had heen the custom, meetings he held dur- ing home-room period every Friday, hecause even when the husiness to he discussed warrants more time, it interrupts the school schedule too much to carry the meeting over into the next period. hlany memhers 64 helieved that hy having meetings every week there would not he too much husiness to he attended to at one time, hut rather an equal amount at each one. ln the latter part ofjanuary, President Sam Hollinger resigned his position. As the Constitution did not state that the Vice-President should assume his duties, hut that the President should he one of the Senior representatives, the student hody elected a new Presi- dent, Bill Shuman, who served for the remainder of the year, assisted hy Vice-President -lohn Gilhert, a .luniorg and Becretary-Treasurer, Betty Staver, a Sophomore. Other memhers of the Council were: Seniors-Boh Baker, hlarian Fish, Don Koser, Bill Shuman. Juniors--Mary Paul, Doris VVhite, Betsy Heagy, john Gilhert, Charles Boas, Josie Dougherty.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 31352 5Li B , 65 PRIZE WINN N fy .geventy Tafenteaf Mu5l'cz'an5 BAND GAINS RECOGNITION THROUGH PERFORMANCE ITH the tramp of the color guards, the swinging of flags, the twirl of batons, and the sound of a shrill whistle was introduced one of Mechanicsburg High School's most active organizations, the High School Band, with a membership of seventy talented students. The Band gained recognition in the opening of the school year with its appearance at each football game during the season, entertaining before the beginning or at the half of the clashes and at various times with the bands of our opponents. During the Christmas season the Band competed in the annual marching contests held in Harrisburg. Ir entered the Class B competition, and as a result of drilling several nights after school each week, the fine appearance of the maroon and steel uniforms and out- standing playing ability, placed firstg co-winners with Nlillersburg High School, who gave us fine competition in previous years. Prior to rhe annual january Band Concert this year, the Band was in charge of the assembly program. 66 The program included several numbers used in the pro- gram for the main concert. The salute to the Stars and Stripes and the singing of the National Anthem formed the conclusion. On January 16, 1942, the Band, assisted by the Glee Club, gave its annual concert in the high school audi- torium. The guest conductor was Mr. liidward P. Rutledge, director of the Lebanon Valley College Band. The program included several military numbers, favorite classics, and also several instrumental solos. Although there were no outstanding Band events within the next few months, each fourth period in the day found Band members on stage working hard on a difficult passage of music. This spring they practiced especially hard on the required and selected music for the annual Forensic Music l.eague Contests, hoping to uphold their reputa- tion of going to state. The Band, in addition to making these public ap- pearances, marched in town and local Hallowe'en, firemen, and Christmas parades.

MUSIC IN THE AIR y Me Otckeatta PLAYED CLASSICS, HYMNS, LULLABIES, AND MARCHES HF Hash of the Fiddle bows, the melody of the reeds, the blast ofthe brasses, the roll of the drums filled the auditorium while the High School Orchestra played favorite classics, hymns, lullabies and marches. This organization, composed of approximately forty members, which has been under the direction of Robert S. Clippinger since the resignation of' Nlarlin F. Mor- rette, supplied the music for each weekly assembly. The Orchestra also appeared regularly to play between the acts of the annual junior, Senior, and Faculty plays. Although the Orchestra did not enter the Forensic Contests, as in past years, because of the number of inexperienced players and an insufficient number of hours in which to practice, the undergraduate students will form the foundation for an outstanding extra- curricular organization in Nlechanicsburg High School in the near future. In addition to the regularly scheduled rehearsals, which were held twice a week during school hours, each member was included in a subdivision of the Orchestra and was excused from a regularly assigned class to attend an instrumental class held once a week during school hours when scheduled by the director. At the Awards' .-Xssembly, eligible juniors received felt letters while eligible Seniors received chenille letters for their service to the Orchestra. MA.. The main part of the Orchestra was composed of students holding solo, second, or third chairs in their particular instrument in the High School Band. The Orchestra personnel included: Yiolins-f--Thorley Hollinger, Ruth Schwalm, l,aura Shambaugh, Robert Rollman, Charles Stone, James blclieown, Helen VVagner, john Conway, Russell Fakin, Mary Bush, Quentin Getz, Cello -'Dorothy Rhoads, Bass Viol-f 'Ianis Kaleyg Flutes f-Dorothy Beetem, Doris Bricker, Marie blancuso, Helen Brewer, Clarinets'-'Charles Franklin, Marylin Nleals, Hugh Henderson, Bass Clarinet-f-Gladys Shearerg Oboe Geraldine Kaleyg Trumpets Arthur Stambach, Carter l,ane, Dick Stephens, Altos --Betty Zimmerman, tlosie Dougherty, Mary Strasbaughg Saxophonesf Bonnie Zellers, Paul Stambach, Ruth Collerg Trombones George Black, Don Zimmerman, Paul Bowman, XVayne Cockleyg Bass Horn-Stanley Seeseg Drums, Snare' YYilliam Troneg Bass-Don Diehl, Cymbals Gerald lforryg Pianistsf Mary Strasbaugh, janet Dietz.

The following week it entered rhe lforensic Music League Contests for Cumlierland County. This spring it produced the semi- annual operetta. The Girls' Chorus and the Girls' linsemhle were the two sulidivisions of the Glee Clulx. These groups sang three-part music and contributed several numlsers to programs for various pulilic meetings.

S1 .1 70 SQUARE CROOKSU SENIOR PLAYERS PRESENT FAST-MOVING, HILARIOUS MYSTERY- COMEDY IN THREE ACTS BECAUSE Eddie Ellison had a dark past, everyone except his wife Kay and his closest friends thought he was still little short of a crook. When Mrs. Phillip Carston found her priceless pearls had been stolen, this belief was encouraged even further. Of course, people jumped at conclusions, and Eddie was im- mediately suspected because he had been her chauffeur, but had been fired recently. To make matters worse Eddie and his wife were both out ofjobs. Eddie tried to convince his friends that he was per- fectly innocent, and all those who knew him well be- lieved him, but that didn't keep the police away, and at almost any moment Harry Welch, the detective, would put in his unwanted appearance, along with John Clancy, his aide. After questioning and searching Eddie and his friend, Larry Scott, Kay, Jane Brown, who was a friend and boarder of the Ellisons, Bridget O'Rourke, the Ellison landlady, and Sorrow, the colored maid, it looked as though Mr. Welch was on the wrong track because there was no sign of the pearls, however, had the detective been as intelligent as he should have been, he could have observed that Eddie and his friend Larry were very worried at times and at others very happy, because all the time the pearls were in the Ellison apartment. Jim Hagen, a pal of Eddie and Larry, had stolen the pearls and had given them to Larry who was to turn them in to the pawn shop, but in the meantime Jim died. To make matters worse, Mike Ross, another gunman, would visit the Ellisons and tried to blackmail them. But thanks to Eddie's and Larry's wit and quick-thinking, Welch was always side-tracked. From morning until evening this little apartment in New York City was in a state of upheaval, finally, one evening, by the thoughtful work of Eddie, Mrs. Cars- ton appeared and testified that she had received her pearls from Eddie with a full explanation of how they were stolen, and in order to help Ellison find who really was the crook she had given her ex-chauffeur a string of imitation pearls. As the play ended, Larry Scott and Jane Brown, who had become more and more infatuated with one another, planned to be married and Eddie was to work for Mrs. Cars- ton again. The eleven-character play, Square Crooks, which was produced by the Senior Class on February 5 and 6 in the High School Auditorium, proved to be one of the funniest and best comedy mysteries ever staged in M. H. S. Added to the hilarious personality of Eddie Ellison, Sorrow, the colored maid, proved to be just as humorous because of her stupidity and love of food. Kay Ellison was the type of wife who con- tinually nags at her husband, but is deeply in love with him, while Jane Brown and Larry Scott added to the show the romantic touch. All the characters in the presentation were well portrayed by the fine acting of the cast. . :evxY , Eddie's Birthday Speech l W. E P' E 2 nr is QSM 'iiimi 1,-za iifg J M.,..y nw ,,, , .

ACTIVE AMERICANI M yczrzcuftl fag eat DEMOCRACY'S MORE THAN TAX-PAYING Nlf of the best faculty plays ever presented in the Mechan- icsburgh High School was given April ,go and May I in the High School Auditorium. The three-act up-to-the-minute play, American Passport by Dana Thomas, was chosen by James G. Haggerty, the dean of boys and lfnglish instructor, who also directed it with the assistance of Miss Bessie M. Baer, librarian. The cast for the production was: lid llzmzillou Qthe fatherl, K. lizra Bucher, l.o1wf!11 Cthe baby of the familyj, Sally Davison, Ifufzh' fthe older daughterl, l. Eugenia Spangler, Dirk fthe sonl, joseph P.

Crr1igffatlier's employerj, David I. Gleimg f t'I?lllfL' Radio Amzaurzfrr, lidith lforneyg Jllfzlc Radio flnnoufzrfr lfdward Thomas. All the scenes, which were three in number, were laid in the Hamilton's middle-class living-room with the time extending over a period of one week. This twelve-character production, American Passport, proved to be very entertaining because of its timely patriotism, its wholesome humor and its powerful purpose. lr depicted some of the social and political problems of our day in such a way that it stimulated con- structive thinking. The theme of the presentation was that if Democ- racy is to endure it must function adequately, and then only as adults and youth alike are given practice in reorganizing the problems of today, seeking the underlying facts, and reaching decisions upon these facts will American Democracy, and per- haps even better America, achieve democracy. The play throughout was fast-moving and very timely because of the conditions as they stand at present. The father, lid Hamilton, was an ordinary, middle-class American, who was about fifty years of age, although still good-looking and extremely neat. He realized that he was a good husband and father, and he was shocked to find that he had left a lot undone, such as his laxity in church attendance and his attention to political matters. Although he was very good-natured his sudden bursts of temper would come into action, but through the play his good mind and excellent education shone forth. The baby of the family, Louella, was a cute little girl of twelve. l.ike other children her age, she was play- loving and full of curiosity. Judy Hamilton was very lovely for her nineteen years and intense because of a quick-functioning mind. Judy's brother, Dick, was just a year older than she and likewise goodslooking, but he was so intent upon his evangelism that his life had lost its laughter. Sybil was in love with Dick but thought he didn't pay enough atten- tion to her. Mrs. Hamilton was a good mother and very much interested in the welfare of her familyg however, she accepted things-iust as they appeared on the surface. Mr. Hamilton's Aunt jen was the type of person who felt much younger than her years, was sensible and kindly and always kept her fingers on the pulse of things. Bill Wlilson was deeply in love with -ludy and knew where he was . Y' An American Hangs a Picture headed and how, even though he was only twenty-live years old. A neatly dressed, friendly neighbor was found in Mrs. Schwartz even though she was angry through the entire play. The father's employer, Mr. Craig, was a successful, pleasant, but direct and to-the-point businessman. One female and one male radio announcer completed the well-chosen cast. ln the First act the Hamilton home was in a state of confusion. Mrs. Hamilton was away at a meeting, and as supper time approached she wasn't home, so Judy and l,ouella and their father tried their luck at preparing a meal, but it was a com- fCv0llfillIll'tf on page 10:3 American Passport Cast 73 YEAR-LO G STORY fy eoolaetative eniou BOOK CARRIES ENTIRELY NEW THEME .-XRI,-XX Fish, a memher of The Torrlz and llzzmfv bunk Stall' and a memher ot' the journalism Class, was chosen as lfditor-in-chief of the seventh annual ,1'z'!i.w1z1 which was puhlished hy the Senior Class of 1941.

Scotland Orphanage was the hrst opponent and the first victim ol' Mechanicsl1urg's powerful machine. However, the game, which was won luv a score of 1.1-7, proved costly to Nl. H.

Sadler, Biddle and Brown each shared in the scoring. A stranger came to the Mechanics- liurg gridiron this season in the form of Mt.

George Day, a stellar fullhack of two previous seasons, was student manager this year due to the age-limit rule. These hoys had a perfect season, winning eight of eight games. Bill Sadler, Bill Biddle and Don Koser were all three-year men. Buzz Shuman, Herh Getz, Paul Kann and Clifl ' Brown each had two years of service. lid Ward, Bill Wertz, Charlie Rupp and Dick Cohle each did their duty one year. Bill VVertz was a standout end during the past year. Bill always was a good defensive man and also could he counted on to do his share on offense. Charlie Rupp who was playing his first season as a starter had his leg hroken in the first game against Scotland Orphan School. Buzz Shuman was hampered somewhat during the season hy an ankle injury, hut when each game rolled around Buzz was always at his left-tackle position on the starting eleven. lid XVard, a suhstitute of last year's eleven, re- turned to he a starter on this year's team and developed into a very capahle guard. Herh Getz played in the right-guard slot and helped make rhe forward wall almost impregnahle hy his untiring efforts. Paul Kann had a hang-up season at right tackle. He called all defensive signals and was also one of the key men on offense. Bill Sadler playing left end proved he was a stand- out pass receiver hy snagging passes for gains all season, one of hlechanicshurg's deadly weapons. Bill Biddle was shifted this past year from his hlocking hack assignment to the plunging position and proved one of the hest fullhacks in the league. Biddle was given the honor of heing honorary captain. Cliff Brown, playing his second year on the squad, held down his wing-hack position well all year, after winning his letter at the same position last year. f'Don Koser and Dick Cohle shared the hlocking- hack assignment, with Koser playing his third year lhe has played at center, winghack and hlocking hackj and Dick playing his first season as a regular was dynamite for his size.

Included in the list of drihhlers were: Bill Sadler, Clirf Brown, Nlike Horning, forwardsg center Bill Biddle, and Bess Sadler and Bill Dougherty, guards. Others on the list of potentials were Bill Sunday, Boh lingle, llick lxeet, Nlervin Rupp, Glenn lfertenhaugh, Nlarshall lfleagle and john Westfall. Practices were held daily for the opening game with john Harris, hut injury hit the team when, two days hefore the tilt, Bess Sadler suffered a hroken ankle in scrimmage. XYeakened hy the loss of Sadler the Wildcats entered the ,Iohn Harris fray as the underdogs, and were defeated hy superior forces,j,1 ll. Next was the tirst conference tilt, and it was a severe test of Nl-hurg's strength as they hucked up against an ex- perienced Hanover cluh, to whom they lost, 4013. ln a low-scoring, hand-played game with New Cumhers land, the lfrederickmen once again tasted defeat to the tune of Io IO. Still on the short end of the score, Nlechanicshurg went down fighting, 38 14, to a flashy Shippenshurg attack. l'aced hy high-scoring Ii-foot 6-inch Jehu Stewart, the Chamhershurg quintet ran roughshrvd over the hapless XYild- cats, sending them home after a 51-24 druhhing. At last the tide turned and, in an overtime period, the local hoys, led hy Cliff Brown with lj points, defeated XYayneshoro's Golden Tornadoes 50'-42. Still in winning form, Coach .Iohn's tive traveled to hliddletown, and stuffed a third victory under their helts, s nl W5 By scoring an upset over a highly-touted Hershey quintet, 42-37, the Cumherland Countians kept up a record of some years' standing, of never having lost to the Choclatiers on the latter's Hoor. With spirits riding high after this victory, the 'Cats were heading for a spill and got it when the l,eague-leading Gettysv hurg Bullets pierced their defense and rolled up a ,QQ-19 score. ln the final game of the first-half season, Nl-hurg scored a win over their ancient rival from Carlisle, 37-18. Seeking to avenge the first-half defeat hy Hanover, the lyildcats led that team for three-quarters hut were nosed out ,il-,il in one of the hest games of the year. However, in the next hattle revenge was sweet when, in another close one, Nl. H. S. eked outa ,tg-31 win over Ship-- penshurg. Chamhershurg again proved themselves too much for the lfrederickmen, winning 44-3 I. Hard fought all the way, an exciting game was played at W'ayneshoro, with the Nlechanicshurg five repeating 40-jo. Sinking shots from all angles, a hor Hershey quintet evened the season with the local tive hy a score of jo' 23. Once again the Bullets dropped the Wildcats, this tiine34f22. Playing their final conference tilt, the Nl-fhurg cagers came out victorious, 37'-24, over the thundering herd of Carlisle.

The live players were: Lloyd Spahr and Harold Renard, guards, Earl Gouse and Robert Kreitzer, ends, and Richard Rupp, a tackle. Like the varsity season, the jay-Vees' season also got off to a late start. Playing only 5 games, the 11nderst11dies won 1 and lost 3 con- tests, and scored 16 points to their opponents' .18 markers. For their first contest, the VVild- kittens traveled to Enola, where they trimmed the Enola junior Varsity to the tune of 1341. Starring on the offense for Nl-burg were Shorty Engle and Dick Rider, who scored the locals' two to11ch- downs and also crossed the strip to add one extra point. Standing o11t on the defense were Lloyd Spahr, Pep Renard, and l7ick Rupp. Coach l ortney's charges' markers came in the second and fourth quarters after sustained drives. f E i 1 1 lt with regret. The Wildkittens played their first home game of the year under the arc lights at Memorial Park. The bright spot in this game was a 60-yard touchdown run, through the entire Hershey team, for a score, by Shorty Engle. This score came early in the first quarter and again at the end of the fourth quarter the homesters were putting on a sus- tained drive which was ended by the final whistle. Final Score, 6-O. Next the local understudies played Camp Curtin Junior High on Fager Eield. The VVildkittens were leading at half-time by the score of 716, due to an early touchdown by the visitors. But the homesters got the situation well in hand in the second half and scored two more touchdowns to defeat the local scrubs 1947. Shorty Engle scored the touchdown for Nlechanicsburg with Goose and Kreit- zer playing well on the defense. Still playing on foreign sod, the Kittens were set back l3'O by the heavier New Cumberland neophytes. Pearson scored both touchdowns for the homesters, one being made while the final whistle was blowing, but since play was in progress, the 6-pointer counted. The M. H. S. gridders never got past their oppo- nents' jo-yard line. Closing the campaign was the annual game with Carlisle. This tilt proved to be an exciting one all the way through, with the Wildkittens ending up on the short end of a IQHO score. Those who won letters on the junior Varsity squad were: Howard Engle, Richard Rider, l.loyd Eishel, Earl Gouse, Robert Kreitzer, Lloyd Spahr, Harold Renard, Richard Edwards, Richard Rupp, Harold Kohlhaas, Lloyd Eahnestock, Ross Shuman, john Boyson, Ross Meloy, Wayne Selders, Eugene Rider, and Richard Selders. j.

Baseball Team AROUND the corner comes spring and with it America's Favorite Pastime, baseball. And among the participants in this game is Coach Fortney's combination, which is always a contender for top honors in the VVest Shore Baseball League. The squad members were-Catch- ers: Bill Biddle, the long-distance slugger of the outfit QM. H. S. fans remember the tryout Bill had with the Cleveland Indians of the American League last summerjg Toby Beitzel, the second-string catcher, who spent his first season on the squad. Pitchers: Bess Sadler, last year's standout third baseman, one who is now doing a fine job of slapping the ball over the plate, Frank Baker, a substitute last year, also one of the local mound starters. Other candidates for pitching roles were Sylvan Rhodes and Farl Rife. First Base: Chesty Rupp, a newcomer to the squad, got the nod of Coach Fortney over Bob Dixon, also a first-year man,at this position. 90 They Made Memorial Park Look Like Comiskey Field or Shihe Park Second Base: Bill Williams, a holdover from last year, held down the keystone sack this year. Pressing him for thejob was Frank VVard. Shortstop: Glenn Renard, a brother of a former star on the local diamond, did his duty at the shortstop position. His only contender for this position was Sonny , Fleagle, the tallest lad on the squad. Third Base: Raymond Bowers covered the hot corner and did excellent fielding but his batting could have been stronger. Bill Wlertz was a sure- hitting third baseman, but his fielding seemed to keep him off the starting nine. Left Field: Fd VVard who last year played at shortstop and Dick Edwards also a holdover from last year both patrolled the left side of the outfield. Center Field: Mike Horning, a freshman, covered the center field grounds with good speed. His hitting needed a bit of polishing but Mike still held his own on the team. Bess Sadler or Frank Baker when not pitching were inserted in this slot to give the team an extra bit of power at the plate. Right Field: Bollinger, a new man on the squad, captured the right field spot shortly after the season opened and seemed right at home in that position. Wlhen not playing center field, Mike Horning shifted to this position. Dick Rupp and Robert Crowl were reserve outhelders on the squad and either could be used in the starting nine. They promised to do their best-and did Tennis Card April 18 Carson Long Away .-Xpr1l28 Redllaon . . . Home Hardworking team ran up May 2 William Penn Home A May 8 Middletown Away 3 fine record May 9 Carson Long Home May I5 Middletown Home May I9 Red Lion . . .Away Une of the best young players in this sector is Bill Dougherty, No. I man, junior, and member of the squad for three seasons. In those three seasons, Doc , as he is called by most, has won I4 matches and dropped but 3, an impressive record in any man's league. Outside of high school competition, he has entered many other tournaments at such places as Stone Harbor, N. J., and Camp Miller, Pa. An invitation was also extended to him from the 1939 Miami-Biltmore Tourney in Florida. Next is a well-known Senior and No. 2 man, Bob Engle, who is serving his fourth year under Coach Thomas. Although Bob did not play in suliicient matches to win a letter his Freshman year, he did see quite a bit of action. As a Sophomore the No. 3 spot was his and for the last two seasons has held the second position. His record for that time is Il wins and 5 defeats. Another Senior whose services will be missed next year is Bill Sunday, No. 3 man and a two-year letter-earner. Bill's unorthodox style, which is a mixture of hard- drives and cuts, has baffled many opposing players, and he has established a second of4 wins and 4 losses. The other two fellows, Dave Rogers and Milton Dougherty, Juniors, have not earned letters prior to this season but both have taken part in a number of matches, and made good showings. Without a doubt they can be counted on to win plenty of matches in the future, once they get a little more experience under their belts. Thomas' Promise Kept by his tennis team WITH spring weather prevalent in the latter week of March, the M. H. S. Tennis Team expected to get some extra-early outdoor practice sessions on the Memorial Park courts when, after considerable reconditioning work was done, Old Man Winter made himself known once again, pouring down a freak twelve inches of snow to blanket both the courts and the hopes for early workouts. Finally, in early April, after a week of indoor preliminaries, spring came to stay and the boys got onto the courts. The First match was only a week away and prospects for a winning aggregation were at peak, for five of the candidates were ex- perienced racket-wielders. They in- cluded Bill Dougherty, Bob Engle, Bill Sunday, Dave Rogers and Milt Dougherty. Looking into the past records of these fellows we find some interesting facts which add up to a top-notch combination. 91 92 C C C hlne Senior Sisters Six Senior girls met all class competition rXSlil .TB.-Xl,l. season for the girls ended in a hig lilaze when the Seniors won the class tournament hy defeating the Sophomores hy a score ot IS 11.

To make matters worse, both Judy and Dick had misunderstandings with their lovers, Judy because she didn't approve of Bill's capitalistic ideas, and Dick because Sybil advocated that he spend less time on politics and more time with her. In the midst ofevery- thing the mother came home with a petition that all the women in every country were to sign so that the female of the species could run the country the way they wanted it. Her husband discouraged the idea but Mrs. Hamilton was determined. Just as things began to look somewhat brighter, Dick began speaking about Democracy and Com- munism, his father came to the conclusion that he himself didn't know enough about the different types of government, so he collected all of Dick's books that might have been helpful and began td study Americanism. In act two Father was getting prepared for a Hilzkrieg of his own to bring the significance of true Ameri- can democracy back to his home and family-determined to wipe out the extreme Leftist philosophies which they had been innocently advocating. Up went pictures of Washington, Lincoln and a copy of the Constitu- tion in the living-room, only to have Mrs. Schwartz accuse him of being a D Q . Fifth Columnist and challenging his right with such views to hide behind George Washington. Thoroughly indignant, Dad put Americanism to work in his home and laid down the law to his family so loudly and emphatically that, to his dismay, he discovered his lawn full of cheering persons who hailed him as their choice for Congressman, but not soon enough to prevent his son from becoming involved in a radical riot, and his employer's dis- missing him as a consequence. Act three found Louella learning the pledge of allegiance and Father more determined than ever to preach and exemplify true Americanism but wondering just where to get another job. Unknown to him, his brilliance and sincerity in defending the prin- ciples of Democracy-in his speech to his family overheard by neighbors and friends-bring him pledges of two-thirds of the town vote and the admiration of his wife and family. Mrs. Hamilton turned true American and wouldn't associate with the woman who tried to lead her astray by drawing up the petition to have women run the world. The Hamil- ton's son, Bill, showed his patriotism by joining the Air Corps, so by the time the curtains were closed the entire Hamilton family were true Americans. -gn Gettysburg served up the opposi- tion for the next fray, and at the time were tied for first place in the conference with the Wildcats. How- ever the battlefielders wilted under the relentless M-Burg attack and went crashing to defeat Zcro. Biddle and Sadler again starred for the Cumberland Countians. Sitting on the top rung of the ladder, Coach John's boys met a strong Chambersburg outfit against whom they were unable to score until the final period when they got rolling and shoved the pigskin into paydirt for a pair of 6-pointers. The first of these was made by virtue ofa long pass, Sadler to Sadler, and the second on a perfectly executed reverse with Brown carrying. The Hnal score read I4-O. Lastly came the traditional Tur- key Day Classic with Carlisle, at which time, before 6,000 roaring fans in Memorial Park, Mechanics- burg dug in and scored a 12-7 triumph over the Thundering Herdf, Bess Sadler smashed off- tackle for the game's first score in the second period, and later in the third frame Biddle scored an- other on a plunge from the 4-yard mark. Carlisle's tally came on the end of a deceiving screen pass CContinuea' on page 1031 102 Carlisle-caught with the goods One of the most attractive features of the 1941-'42 Band was the color guard, made up of Lucille Lowry, June Kumler, Doris Sipe, Betty Stehle, and Lois Rector.
