New borders and new worlds A re calling you today, They'1fe called from over lund at-nd sea, From the -normal worlds away. For now 'it's war-that o'er the ocean came, That's called for courage, and sacrifice, Caring not for fame. It's called on you to fight for truth, A truth that is sublime, A truth that must fo-rezrer live, Throughout the world of time. And when the battle's over, And youfve won the rights you fought to win, lllay there' be a heartfelt peace, A nd happiness within. Ideals and growth of soul, material progress, science, art! Now, again, and forever, will we re- member when once the whole wide world re-echoes, madly, gladly, 'Peace' V' 'mf'w b'l n Jn 00 '-'dlyfafllgnfa ,n :FQ n - ?

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1939 found one hundred thirty confused, unconiident freshmen roam- ing about trying to find the correct classrooms. WVe chose Mr. Muffet and later Mr. Hartwell as our advisors to work with our class officers---Stanley Ryals, Arlene Jolly, and Harold Johnson-and guide us through the year. During the year we found courage to sponsor a roller skating party at White City Park. Spring found us with a bad case of spring fever, and even before vacation started we were eager to be on our way. ' We began our sophomore year with confidence and high ideals. But alas-our morale was lessened greatly when we found that we were not so good as we thought we were. To guide us through our sophomore year, we chose Mr. Hunt, Stanlev Ryals, Wesley Warrick, and Billye Fulcher. The largest sport dance of the yeahr was the main sophomore activity. Fall of 19441-Upper classmen at last! Now we will show them how and what to do-but waitg let's be kind to the lower classmen, as it was just a very short time ago that we were classed with them. In our successful junior year we were guidcd again by Mr. Hunt and his staff of class ol'licersQWesley Warrick, Roy Rothlisberg, Lura Rothlisberg, and Marvin Bodine. The production of a very successful class play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town, proved that we were worthy to be upper classmen. Every member of the class had a part in making the play a success. May at last! WVhat a memorable month. Our pride and joy was the junior-senior prom. Digniiied seniors I I ! ! The senior sneak, largest ever, was the first high spot in our year. Mr. Patch and the following class oflicers-Junior Weast, Bill Luscombe, Faye Marie Leininger, and Ted Hepper-were chosen to guide us through our last year at M. H. S. Although war conditions, work, and the armed forces have called some of our classmates to other paths of life, we are proud to have achieved one of our goals- to be the largest class graduating from Meridian High School. So with baccalaureate and commencement we bid M. H. S. faculty and our classmates adieu-may we all meet again some day.

Wilma Records and Warren Lane were embarrassed when the 1942 annuals were released and a snapshot of them had won first prize. Loren VVilson was embarrassed the first day of school when he discovered that he was the only boy in the shorthand class. Marvin Bodine was in the following embarrassing position: One evening Marvin and his date, Miss Pigg, met Jim Robison. Marvin said, Jim, meet Miss Piggf' Pleased to meet youg does she grunt too, Marvin? Lionel Hampton's Orchestra was playing Flying Home when Eva Rose Starkey decided to make a three-point landing on the floor of the Miramar ballroom. Faye Marie Leininger was nick-named Mac by the boys because she was always on the defensive. Ticklish, no? Who slapped Wilson Dillabaugh's face during history class? Could it have been Opal Brown? The chemistry class was discussing the causes and results of an acidic condition in the blood. Heidy Steger asked, Mr. Patch, do we get colds at Christmas time because we eat too much candy? No, Heidyj' replied Mr. Patch, I think the reason is more likely to be late hours. Viola Bergakker's journey down the basement hall was abruptly ended when Raymond Magnuson fell down the stairs and lit at her feet. June Matcham was applauded at the senior Christmas formal for her demonstration of a graceful Q?j fall. EMBARRASSING MOMENTS Wilson Dillabaugh unsuspeetlngly sat on a tack in history class. Louise Towne was embarrassed beyond words during a basketball game. The band mem- bers were to go back stageg Louise, seemingly in a daze, strolled into the boys' dressing room. Nellie Bentzinger remarked, If I ever get married, My husband is going to get his own breakfast. Someone asked, Who ever heard of a man getting his own breakfast when he has a wife to do it for him? Nellie quickly replied that her B-. F.'s father did. Ruth Ellensohn was embarrassed when she played a cello solo during a grand pause in one of the orchestra numbers played at the Christmas program. Virgil Smitchger's face turned just a little red in English class when he admitted that he was just a little boy. Roy Rothlisberg very courteously asked Mrs. Virginia Wylie if he might carry her books for her.- M Club initiation. Billye Fulcher found it quite embarrassing when she was as usual trying to beat all the freshman boys over to Happy's for their lunch and found herself flat on her back in the street. It was slippery though, wasn't it Billye? Wesley Warrick was going to work on the annual. Coming to a door he supposed was the annual staff room, he opened the door and with his arms full of books backed into the room to find that he was in geometry class. When Eagle played Meridian, Ted Hepper was embarrassed when Mr. Hughell asked him which side he was going to yell for. Betty J. and Francis F. were embarrassed by Betty's little brother while en route home from school one evening. What caused Marvin Bodine and Lewis Gruber to become so mysteriously sick while pick- ing apples? While group pictures were being taken for the annual, two boys came from another room to see Kenneth Oliason. After a few minutes they left and Kenneth started to walk away from his seat. Ke'nneth! You can't go with those boys l commanded Miss Slagle. Kenneth went calmly on his way. In a last effort Miss Slagle said, Kenneth, take your seat !', Why, Miss Slagle, replied Kenneth, I was only going to put this book on the shelf. If William Snyder wasn't embarrassed at the Ag ball, he should have been-Why??-Bch cause of the clothes he didnft wear. Lois Douglas went to a party at her B. F.'s. The B. F.'s over-friendly dog pushed her over the box of phonograph records. -An embarrassing position, besides, now there was less music to dance to. Duane Harrison was embarrassed when an ever precious egg broke in his sweater pocket- more work now. - M Club initiation. Bill Oliver entered a store to buy Opal Brown a get-well card. Was he embarrassed when he met Opal in the store. During shorthand class it was discovered that Eleanor Green was writing her test from the answers. It seems that Mr. Hughell was more than slightly embarrassed last fall at a teachers' meeting. He got ready in a hurry and dashed to Boise, where he was met by the president of Boise Junior College. After exploring the city of Boise, they arrived at the meeting. Mr. Hughell was called upon to make a speech. He arose and proceeded to give the customary tug to his necktie, but NO NECKTIE ! ! !!! Several senior girls, boys too, for that matter, were slightly embarrassed when Mr. Patch told the chemistry class that the low grades on the quiz were the result of many students' discussing among themselves anything from baseball to what happened last night instead of watching and discussing the experiment. Lura Rothlisberg was embarrassed at our freshman roller skating party at White City Park when a certain boy with pretty blond hair asked if he could hold her up for a while. EMBARRASSING MOMENTS One bright sunny day Florence Rossow was wearing a very full skirt when she decided that she would chin hereself on the limb of a tree--was she embarrassed when she discovered that she had a male audience. Everything was very quiet one evening when Dale Krauss was with her date. Suddenly Dale began to sing You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To. Is your face always that red, Dale? LaBell Zinn was embarrassed when she returned to school after a lengthy absence due to the mumps to find that everyone inquired about the fullness of her face. Bernice Stang was embarrassed when she dashed into the chemistry room after four o'clock and tripped over some wire Mr. Hughell had strung about the room in order to perform a physics experiment. Elnora Estep is always somewhat embarrassed when the story of her nickname Pinkie is told. Joan Sloan was slightly embarrassed when her brother read a letter from a certain some- one before a houseful of relatives. QUESTION OF THE YEAR Who was the skunk that tormented the skunk that made it so unpleasant for every student body and faculty member? COMMNUNIQUE FROM THE JUNIOR CLASS Charles Yerrington ..... ........................ P resident Dewey Bolen .............. ..... I 'ice President Lu Deen Roylance ....... ......... S eeretary Margaret Rosti ............................,v........ Treasurer Third successful year of advancement. All objectives reached and situation well in hand. Past successes are as follows: Freshman year bombardment was a near defeat, but only in body, spirits were high and all was for the best. This cam- paign was headed by the military strategist, Mr. McDonald. The second offensive sweep was staged with a somewhat smaller battalion than the first. The company was headed by superior officers, Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Clyde Miller. Under the guidance of these two men our encounters were victories for us. Our third year of skirmishes was started with a meager unit of seventy-one brave fighting students. Our battle was launched by the battle genius, Mr. George Henderson. His leadership was short-lived, for other military com- mands desired his service. Mrs. Virginia Wylie took over the post of com- mander. Roger Schaap, our acting president, felt the call of duty to his country and joined the Navy. In his place Charles Yerrington was elected president. We are looking forward to our fourth year of advancement and to our final victory. JUNIOR CLASS A Ellen Ackley .............. Pete Arana ............. Albert Ausumendi . B Ella Kay Baird ..,.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1942 eighty sophomores entered Meridian High School. As their first act as sophomores they elected Billy Sweet to lead them through the year, Lloyd Everitt to be his able assistant, Margaret Adkins as secretary, Viola Hepper as treasurer, and Mr. Hunt as their advisor. On October 9 they held their class dance. It was a joyous and a Well- attended affair. During the year many members represented the class on the varsity teams, and many of them won their letters. Under the leadership of Lois Spencer and Kenneth Oliver they made a fair showing in intra-mural sports, this was especially so of the girls. Now at the end of a strenuous year we find only sixty-six survivors. The sophomore class has become the junior class. VVith the experience of their freshman and sophomore years behind them, they are confident they can make a good showing as juniors. -BILLY SWEET.

After the usual stumbling and fumbling around we became organized. A very successful skating party was held in November. After this we felt very brave and gave a St. Patrick,s Day dance in March. Since this was the first dance after the basketball season, it was very well accepted by everyone, and was a high spot of the year. -DON HARRISON- 'JGRQ M ,. . 549 yiggill- ,Y rx, v-'IGF' ,H w...-ani' Wi gf Q 1 2 f--umm Wausau.

To this end each student is working to the best of his ability. The whole organization is subdivided into eight different divisions. They consist of Aeronautics, and Mathematics, Victory Maids, Home Nursing and Red Cross Sewing, Model Building and Plane Spotting, Publicity and Assembly, Library Service, Boys' Physical Culture and Military Drill, Girls' Physical Culture and Military Drill. Each division has its own officers and a faculty member as an advisor. However, the responsibility of the undertakings rests with the students. Regular meetings are held, weekly or monthly, according to plans made by each group. Our Victory Corps program was launched on January 29 at the beginning of the second semester. Altogether, it is proving to be a very successful enterprise. At least, it should make us all fully aware that we have a part in this total war effort. We'in high school must prepare ourselves for our part in the war effort while we are still in school. This is a very worthy aim and we are confident that the students of our school will prove that they can live up to all expectations. We should feel proud that our school, along with the other schools of America, is doing its part in the winning of this war. -I-,wg 'ik E Q E I 1 Miss M. H. S.

PLAY J U N I 0 R C L A S S CROSS MY HEART Jerome Ross, a wealthy Chicagoan, bought a bank in Medford. He and his wife believed the environment of a small community might be exactly what Eleanor, their sixteen-year-old daughter, needed to snap her out of self-consciousness and indif- ference to male society. Dave Adams, long employed in the bank, envisioned a promotion, and so did Charlie, the young man in love with their daughter Pauline. If only the Adams would give Charlie time to allow the romantic side of his nature to show. The chief worry of Bess, Dave's efficient wife, was Bob, to whom girls were poison. His indifference carried him to a place where his clothes were disreputable, and he shunned mixed groups on all occasions. The blow came when the family made clear to Bob that he was under obligation to show Eleanor Ross around-even to take her to a dance! A short time later Bob met Eleanor inadvertently and the two heard Mrs. Ross and Mr. Adams discussing their children. What they heard appalled them. They decided upon immediate action. Bob borrowed sister Pauline's new formal for Elea- nor and while she supplied Bob with a tuxedo from Jim's ample wardrobe. Both families were shocked when the two children appeared and announced they were going to make a tour of all roadhouses. The youngsters disappeared from sight and all eforts of the police were un- availing. Finally, Bob's friends brought the news that the gang had been together and their worst deed was to dispose of yards and yards of hot dogs. As the play closed the family no longer worried about finding companionship for Bob and Eleanor--for they were in love, and then the fathers did have something to worry about!

T helma Wood SENIOR CLASS PLAY JUNE MAD By FLORENCE RYERSON and COLIN CLEMENTS June Mad is taken from the novel The Awful Age by the two authors. It was first produced at Las Palmas Theatre in Hollywood, California. This sparkling comedy of modern youth is that rare thing-a family play written simply, yet with both humor and insight, so that it has an appeal for all ages. The story presents the problems vital to youth in an intelligent and sympathetic manner, making it a thing of value to both players and audience. The story concerns Penny VVood and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amus- ing business of growing up. When Penny's Uncle Mervyn, only five years older than she, brings Roger Van Vleck, a senior and a killer-diller, home from college, she forgets to be a man-hater and succumbs to an attack of calf love which is ten de- grees worse than measles. In her efforts to make herself attractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost disrupts two families, but the discovery that Roger is double- crossing Mervyn by stealing his girl, Julie Harris, brings her back to normal and naturally to Chuck. Chuck Harris, entirely gone on the subject of Gliding, almost wrecks the party for the young folks by almost losing himself on his initial flight in his home-made glider. Penny, after an eternity of indecision, decides she will be a great actress instead of a writer. With a background of music and laughter coming from the gay young people frolicking on the lawn, a patient mother, Mrs. Wood, clasps her daughter, Penny, in her arms whispering softly Oh my Darling the curtain falls, closing an evening filled with mingled emotions common to the average family.

Drinkwater's wife dies, grieving for her son, and leaves her money to his orphaned daugh- ter, Glory, only on condition that she spend the last twenty-four hours before her twenty-first birthday with her grandfather, Dr. Drinkwater, hoping in this way to clear all misunder- standings. But Glory, like her mother, is an actress, under contract to make a talking picture in South America, and her twenty-first birthday is only two days away. She must keep her con- tract, and wants her grandmother's money. She remembers her friend Honor, who has a sick mother and conceives the idea of sending them to the Sanitarium in her place. Her grand- father has never seen her and need never again. When Honor and her mother, Madam Chere, whom she introduces as her foster mother, arrive at the Sanitarium the fun and troubles begin. ' Glory learns that her fiance has gone to the Sanitarium to spend his vacation. His father was an old friend of Dr. Drinkwater's and they had long desired a match between Bob and her. She hurries to the Sanitarium to explain to Bob before he meets Honor and spoils every- thing. She also writes a letter of explanation to him which Honor promises to deliver but loses instead. It is found by Rainbow, a colored boy, who can neither read nor write. The letter has many hair-breadth escapes with Bob, Honor, and Glory in hot pursuit. Philip, a ranch owner, and his men, are hunting a Mexican rustler. They stop at the Sanitarium for a drink of the Spring water where Philip sees Honor and is immediately at- tracted. Years before, Philip's grandfather and Dr. Drinkwater had quarreled, and Drink- water has forbidden Philip on the place, Honor hears Philip plotting with Bessie, the maid, to frighten everyone into the house with stories of the rustler, and thus make it possible for him to meet Honor without Dr. Drinkwater knowing it. When the rustler really does come and carries off Bessie and Rainbow for ransom, Honor will not believe it, but thinks it part of the plot and scorns Philip. When Philip returns from the rescue, wounded, with the rustler captive and the others safe, Honor is sorry and everything is right again. Rainbow shows Philip the lost letter and he, from its contents, gathers that Honor is Bob's fiancee and has been deceiving him. But Honor dare not tell him the truth until the twenty-four hours are up. When the guests arrive for the birthday party everything and everybody are at sixes and Sevens. But a few words of explanation smooth the troubles away and everybody is happy. Drinkwater is overjoyed that Glory is engaged to Bob. Even her being an actress does not disturb him. When she tells him that she and Bob are going to South America, ostensibly on their honeymoon but really to make a talking picture, he smiles, and suggests that he charter a boat and all join him and the happy couple in a wonderful trip to South America. So they leave us, and as the curtain falls and we too catch their contagious enthusiasm, we wish them joy, much happiness and bon voyage.

FOOTBALL 1 94:2 On account of the national emergency and a shortage of farm workers the 19412 football season at Meridian was somewhat handicapped. We had a well-rounded schedule of eight games drawn up, including Weiser, Parma, Caldwell, Boise, Mar- sing, Franklin, Kuna, and Wilder, but because of a called vacation in order to help harvest the beet crop we had to cancel four games. At the start of the season we had several lettermen returning, most of them stal- warts of the line. Since a new backfield had to be molded, we got away to a slow start but were showing signs of improvement when the season had to be discontinued. Our strength was displayed when we held a strong Caldwell team to a 141-O score. All of Caldwell's points were scored in the first few minutes of the ball game before the Meridian eleven could settle down. The following boys qualified for letters: Bill Hutchings, end, Capt. Bill Oliver, tackle, Billy Sweet, tackle, Lloyd Brown, tackle, Ray Magnuson, guard, .lack Beery, center, Bob Waitley, guard, Rodger Schaap, guard, Carlos Toll, end, Ted Hepper, fullback, Bill Teters, halfback, Jack Daniels, quarterback, Bill Pitman, fullback, Virgil Carroll, halfbaek, Art Cushing, halfback, Lloyd Everitt, halfback. Squad members who won honorable mention and who probably would have won a letter had the season been normal were: Bud Link, end, Bobby Moore, center, Remie Van Paepeghem, guard, and Melvin Potts, end. Leslie Lee and Bob Sturtevant won manager letters. B A S K E T B A L L BOTTOM ROW: Robert Sturtevant. Junior Weast, Bill Rodgers, Bill Hutchings, Dewey Bol n Bill Sweet e , . SECOND ROW: Argie Bell.

BASKETBALL 1942-443 At the opening practice of the basketball season Dewey Bolen, a forward, and Junior Weast, a guard, were the only men from last year,s team on hand. The other positions on the team were filled with boys coming up from the B squad who were eager but lacked experience and size. Although the number of games won during the past season was small, the season should not be considered unsuccessful, because a great deal of experi- ence was acquired by those eight boys that are elegible to return next year. There are several likely prospects for next year's team on the B squad, which had a successful year, showing particular improvement toward the end of the season. The following boys won major letters: Junior Weast, guard Bob Sturtevant, forward Capt. Dewey Bolen, center Bill Rodgers, guard Bill Hutchings, forward Dorrance Wilborn, guard Melvin Potts, forward Argie Bell, manager Lloyd Everitt, forward B A S K E T B A L L BOTTOM ROW: Earl Officer, Robert Weast, Wylie Leighton, Jim Rostl.

TENNIS 1941-1942 The tennis squad for the year 194-1-fl-2 was made up of two veterans, the remain- der being inexperienced. The two experienced players were VVayne Mosman and Ed- ward Hughcll. The others were Roy Rothlisberg, Duane Harrison, Dorrance Wil- born, Lewis Gruber, and Argie Bell. All these boys were juniors, except Dorrance Wilborn, who was a sophomore. In addition we had three freshmen, Daren Thiel, Chester Eggers, and Tom McAdams, who had never played before. With a comparatively inexperienced squad we didn't win many inter-school tournaments. Boise and Nampa were able to win the majority of matches each time we played them. Wayne Mosman and Edward Hughell, however, won the majority of their singles matches and were defeated only once in doubles play. Against Caldwell and Parma we won the majority of matches played. VVayne Mosman and Edward Hughell were a very effective doubles team and were defeated but once during the year and this one time by Nampa High School, whom they had defeated twice before. Edward and Wayne represented Meridian at the Southern Idaho Tennis Tourna- ment held at Kimberly and won the doubles championship. Major letter winners were Mosman, Hughell, Rothlisberg, Harrison, Wilborn, and Gruber. . I . , E M AM. B A S E B A L L BOTTOM ROW: Keith Snyder. Bud Moody.

Baseball for 1942 was pretty successful, considering the material We had to start With. At the beginning of the season the team had only three letter- men and not one experienced pitcher. However, by the end of the season Weast, a junior, and Rambo and Meadows, both freshmen, were giving fine performances on the mound. Making up the team were three seniors, six juniors, three sophomores, and three freshmen.

With an enrollment of girls interested in homemaking the Home Economics Club began an eventful year. At a party held the beginning of the term the new members were welcomed with the traditional initiation ceremony. Following this, regular business meetings were held, usually being terminated by a program or group singing. We observed the Christmas holidays by staging a food display contest with the F. F. A. Since both displays were cleverly arranged, competition was keen. The F. F. A. boys were the winners, however, and we entertained them with a movie. Afterwards the food was distributed to the needy. At the beginning of the second semester home nursing was added to our course. Through the activities of the club the girls have gained a better understanding of the phases of homemaking, and we've all had a grand time in the bargain.
