Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1938 volume:

PUBLISHED IN THE YEAR 1938 SENIOR CLASS MERCER, PENNSYLVANIA MERCER HIGH SCHOOL 4 % To the principal and the faculty, the Class of Nineteen-Thirty-Eight dedicates this book, the SPOTLIGHT, in appreciation of their efforts to maintain the ideals and standards set up by the traditions of Mercer High School. Finale The Finale—Graduation is over, The curtain’s closed forever on it all, We’ll each be going different ways, We won’t be coining back next fall. Twelve years it took to produce the play. Long years they were, yet short to some, But all was worthwhile to the characters When you count the reward we have won. The first four years we built up the cast, Found our cues, practiced each day; The next four years we rehearsed our parts, Followed directors, shaped the play. The last four years we raced with time, Worked harder to conquer defeat; And then at the end of the twelve long years We found our play was complete. We’re modern and gay and “glad that we’re through. But at heart we are sorry to go. Old friends, old scenes, the familiar stage, Will all be missed—I know. What lies beyond is indistinct And we’ve only come part of the way, It’s Life’s drama, comedy? or tragedy? But always another play. Lelia Myers 6 HARVEY A.

For our class officers we elected James Palmer, president; William Vogan, vice-president; and Geraldine Semple, secretary-treasurer. The prospects of four years of high school made us panicky but we managed very well with the help of Miss Munnell and Mr. Crowell. The first gaiety was the Sophomore party which introduced us into the society of the older classes. Then we became Sophomores and we were able to walk along nonchalantly. This year, Hilda Sarver was president; Martha Leisher, vice-president; and Geraldine Semple, secretary-treasurer. We entertained successfully the other classes at our Sophomore party under the supervision of Miss Robinson and Mr. Patterson. Guided by Miss Miller and Mr. Hettinger we became dignified Juniors. The heavy responsibilities of this year were borne by William Vogan, president; Willard Nickum, vice-president; Mary Dunn, secretary; and James Palmer, treasurer. We will long remember this as the year in which we bought our class rings and presented under Mr. Hettinger’s direction, “Remember the Day.” This class play furnished us the money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Most important of all, this was the year when the MER-HI was established. Seniors—at last! Our class play, “The Nut Farm,” and the Junior-Senior Banquet came in rapid succession. The year has gone all too quickly and now it is time for Commencement.

To the Juniors we leave the Senior room and the Key of Knowledge. May they make the most of the advantage. To the Freshmen and all the other classes we leave the teachers with whatever patience they have left. The members of our class desire to leave personal belongings to those whom they may benefit. First, James Palmer wishes to leave his place as President of the Senior class to any worthy Junior. Martha Davis, being the baby of our class, wills her well-earned marks to Mary Alice Elder (the baby of the Junior class). Mike Metelsky, Chester Morley, James Snyder, and Donald Boles will their positions as silent observers to Claire Pears, Albert Yeager, and Robert Yarian. Grace Blake, one red-head of our class, will not leave her position with Sir Walter “Rollie” to anyone. Willard Nickum, another red-head, passes on his supply of comments to Jerry Johnston. Paul Hogue wills his musical ability to Mike Kirila. Hilda Sarver passes on her place of prominence in the high school to Jean Barnes. Sara Orr, Shirley Amon, and Margaret Anderson leave their “good times” to Mary Alice Fox, Edna Worley, and Charlotte Glunt. This year, Donald Redic and Geraldine Semple (not wishing to be selfish) would like to leave their role of Romeo and Juliet to any couple who wish to act this role. Mary McWhirter wills her captivating giggle to Archie Palmer. George Pizor wishes to let John Stranahan have his job of watching over the eighth grade girls. David Thompson and Dorothy Kinney leave their “Biology Corporation” to Martha Vogan and Robert Gregory. We hope you enjoy it as much as they did! Ruth Whyte, Dorothy Martin, and Catherine Foltz leave their studiousness to Dick O’Mahoney. Martha Leisher leaves her place as Literary Editor of the yearbook to Anna Beth Gregory. Major Graham leaves his position as student manager to Howard Gregory, since he cannot keep it in the family any longer. Mildred McCracken leaves her artistic ability to all of next year’s biology students to use. Olive Ramage leaves her vocal talent to Pearl Campbell and her picture of “Alexander the Great” to no one. William Rice and Russell Swartz leave their mischievousness to Bill Hamilton and Bill Gilbert. 56 Lelia Myers wills her poetic verses to Lucille Bish. (May she make a fine catch with them.) Hugh Bertha Strosser leaves her much-used comb and mirror to Katherine Martin. Ray Narlee who believes in being “Mary” leaves his ability to get in good with the teachers to either Russell Dillinger or Edgar Lias. Mary Dunn and Robert Willis leave their ability to look after the Robinsons to Earl Wardle. Esther Minner wills her wavy hair to Nancy Lou Filer. William Vogan and Leonard Armstrong bequeath their sleeping sickness in English class to the Yarian boys. Lowell Hoovler and Kenneth Thomas wish to leave the school quietly so they will not leave anything behind. Muriel McCullough leaves her knowledge of the law to Bill Forrester and Jerry Pesek. AND LASTLY, Bruce McCoy, after considerable deliberation, has decided not to leave his speaking ability to anyone as he wishes to take it to Congress, but he will leave his funny jokes to Mac Evans. We, the Seniors, do hereby declare this our last Will and Testament. Witnesses: Dorothy Kinney Muriel McCullough Executor: Miss McClellan 37 Class Prophecy Paul Hogue directing tourists to broadcasting studios, Kenneth Thomas madly running the elevator up and down, James Snyder preserving the peace in a manner suited to his uniform, Mildred McCracken ushering in the spectators, Leonard Armstrong and Paul Campbell busily working in the control room—early morning in the M. H. S. broadcasting station. Before the microphone appears Radio’s Gift to the Ladies, Announcer Willard Nickum. “Ladies and Gentlemen, you are listening to station M. H. S. We begin our program with Lowell (Thomas) Hoovler bringing you the news of the day.” “Flash, Geraldine Semple, winner of the Nobel Prize in art, is on the verge of matrimony with former football star, Donald Redic. “Flash, John Eberle, famous lawyer, won the libel suit which Catherine Foltz, a waitress, recently brought against Bruce McCoy, well-known leader of the Workers’ party. He accused Miss Foltz of working more than the ten hours per week allowed by the Union. “Flash, the Army and Navy are searching for the missing aviatrix, Mary Mc-Whirter; no word has yet been received. “Flash, Dorothy Martin, red-headed torch singer, breaks her engagement to Major Graham and elopes with his brother. “Flash, Martha Davis, child prodigy, is to play at a concert directed by George Pizor of the Texas Conservatory of Music.” “The time, according to Miss Miller’s General Electric clock, is one second past 2:30 p. m. Bill Rice now brings you the latest flashes from the world of sports.” “Among those attending the Duke-Pitt game is Muriel McCullough with her husband who is an alumnus of Slippery Rock State Teachers’ College. “Bill Vogan, former basketball player for Mercer High School, has accepted a position as coach at West Northern University. “Ruth Whyte wins the tennis award for outstanding playing this year.” “Ladies and Gentlemen, our next presentation is from the City Hospital. Martha Leisher, well-known radio commentator, will bring you her weekly broadcast.” “Dr. James Palmer has just accepted a position as director of this hospital staff. “Esther Minner has been appointed head surgical nurse, assisted by Dorothy Kinney and Sara Orr. “Margaret Anderson, chief dietician, eloped last night with a patient. “Just admitted to the hospital is the prominent aviator, Robert Willis, who is recovering from an airplane crash. Russell Swartz, his mechanic, is still under observation.” J8 “Our next program comes to you from California. Hilda (Scoop) Sarver, editor of ‘The Daily Breeze,’ brings us some intimate glimpses of Hollywood.” “News items from Hollywood—Shirley Amon, former speed typist, gives up secretarial work to sign a contract with M. G. M. “Studios—Mary Dunn, style expert, designed the gown for Grace Blake, Paramount’s newest star, to wear in her screen debut, ‘Pie Face.’ Lelia Myers, an English script writer, is publishing a book of poems, ‘Come Buy My Violets.’ “Rumor has it that Hugh Strosser, editor of the ‘Advice to the Lovelorn Column,’ will be married soon to a childhood sweetheart.” “Radios’ listeners swing and sway to the music of Dave Thompson’s orchestra; as a special program, he is presenting Olive Ramage, song-bird of the air, and Donald Boles, John Hogan, Chester Morley, and Mike Metelsky, winners of the MER-HI sponsored Barbershop Quartet Contest. “We are unable to present the program previously scheduled as Ray Narlee, the male lead in the mystery thriller, ‘Who Turned Out the Light?’, missed the bus.” Esther Minner Olive Ramage PUlUlMfO • ' - CHICAOO — • c Oil ;;■ .-%T : ’ Wcy. :,;; ji« HiL tj;ir -tf ■ ■ ;!� � ' , 3 iritt • __S� « ..: ■. - % . . ■ ajl€ y ? ■ r?. ‘v V v;. s %«: . •;• •% • ■ ■■' 2 •.
