ADMINISTRATICN High Command Superintendent IQIJVVIN B. 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. His grandchildren's greatest ad- mirer, the student hearing him whisper- Annetta - need have no illusions, she's just a favorite grand- daughter. l 5 LEADERS LONG AND BRANDI' . . llze virion and the facully divine . . 10 Administration Antics P Due to a decrease in grade-school enrollment, one of the grade home- rooms on the second Hoor of the new building was last fall converted into a modern pedagogue's paradise. 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
