JOHN SCHINDLER It is difficult to find Words to describe our love and devotion for Mrs. Schindler, who has always been ready to listen to all our troubles and give us good, sound advice, for three of the most import- ant years in our lives. She is never without a smile and a sympathetic ear. Her patience, cheerfulness, friendliness, and high morals have set an example any mother would want her boy or girl to followg an example we, as her students, are eager to follow. l 'yi' 'kirir MR. WM. S. HERMANN Mr. Hermann, with cooperation, ambition, and untiring efforts led us successfully from the Seventh Grade to the end of our Freshman year. His aim was to make good citizens of us all, and we like to believe that he succeeded in this noble resolution.

JOHN BENNER Blooinsburg State Teachers College Mrs. Benner is the Principal of the grade school and also the third and fourth grade teacher A In her years of work she has been an untiring friend who always finds enough time to listen to the stories of the kiddies, and will give them excellent advice.

She has done an excel- lent job of leading her boys and girls through the drills of gram- mar, the knowledge of science - and the practice of problems in math. in order to prepare them for High School.

MISS MARY L Bowsnsox Bloomsbury Susquehanna H S I New Yorl U iversity Miss Snook IS the teacher of N OUT HUDDGY' grades In the Miss Bowersox IS our very .. ,V ' efficient Commercial teacher. When we see her nimble fingers Hy over those typewriter keys, we feel that we have something to learn which we can look for- ward. Miss Bowersox has quite a bit of trouble with her Pes- simistic Seniors ' as she calls us, for if we didn t good-naturedly complain each Shorthand class, she would think us ill. We owe her our most heart-felt thanks and We take this opportunity to ..-925 9 give her them. rip ACULTY MR. TYRELL ROBINSON Shippensburg Teachers Col- lege, B. S. Columbia University, A. M.

The Seniors appreciate his efforts and wish him much success in his chosen profession. MR. JOHN T. FRASER Penn State, B. S. As Agriculture teacher, Mr. Fraser has, for the last three years, been doing a great job of giving to America, its Fu- ture Farmers.

We are glad to have had him as a member of the faculty. Miss DORIS BRACY 4 Buclcnell University, A. B. New York University Ediwboro State Teachers Col- lege Cedar Crest Albright This is Miss Bracy's first year as our language teacher.

We hear she is working in the Agriculture De- partment at our State Capital and we wish her much success and happiness in her new field of work. MISS CATHERINE BYROD Susquehanna University, A. B. Miss Byrod chose to launch her teaching career at good old M. H. S, We instantly recog- nized her congeniality and gen- uineness. Shakespeare is not usually the most interesting thing in a Senior's school life, but Miss Byrod taught us to really enjoy Macbeth. Miss By- rod also had the honor of being chosen play directressg she has put forth a great effort to make everything a great success, and coach of the girls' athletics. MRS.

SENIUR CLASS HI TURY if af af On the beautiful morning of September 5, 1941, a strange incident was taking place in Middleburg High School. At the beautiful entrance to that magnificent building of education stood a group of green Freshmen. Our knees trembled, our brows were furrowed with anx- iety. Our lives had suddenly become rich and bountiful. Ahead of us lay many trials and tribulations. Many of our members were to become restless and drop off along the way. Nevertheless, our influence was soon felt in Middleburg High School. Our first great event was the chancing off of a turkey at Thanksgiving time. Thus ended our Freshman year. Then came our Sophomore year, the word Sophomore meaning wise fools which no other class could have deserved more readily than ours. In this, our Sopho- more year, we received three new members and a new sponsor. Our new sponsor was Mrs. Schindler, to whom we are all grateful for leading us through one of the most trying periods of our life. Thus ended or Sophomore year. Our Junior year held a little more excitement for us because of our Junior Class Play, which was entitled The Nutt Family. Our play being such a great success, it was booked for a second performance at Shamokin Dam. This was the completion of our Junior year. This, our Senior year, we are very far advanced. We have already held our Senior Class Play which was entitled The Calamity Kids, a title also very fitted to our class. We are looking forward to many more striking events of this, our Senior year. When the trials of this dark period are over, when our fondest ambitions have been realized, in part or whole, then with our friends, we shall gather in the sereness of a new peace, and, with happiness in our hearts, ponder over these examples of gone but not forgotten cheerful experiences that occurred in Middleburg High School. On the dawn of a new day, we hope that as you turn these pages, you will recall the happy experiences, pleasant associations, and proud achievements attained by the students of our Alma Mater. Thus we have successfully completed our high school career, and are ready to embark upon our voyage of life's endeavors. --'E-f 11 lk-- HAROLD ARBOGAST Mt. Pleasant Mills GENERAL Arby When Do I Get That Date? Monitor Typist. Harold can usually be found driving around in a shiny black car or speaking to some lady friend. Arby is just crazy about Trig problems. He is always glad to lend a helping hand to anyone in distress. Maybe that's the reason he's usually spending Saturday nights at Kratzerf ville. Isn't it Harold? b DOROTHY ULRICH Middleburg, R. D. 3 COMMERCIAL Dot Oh, Sugarfu Class Secretary 45 Monitor Typistg Monitor Reporter. Dorothy is the dimpled girl who joined us in the middle of our Junior year. Whenever you hear a group of gigglers you can be sure Dot is in the midst of it.

BETTY BAILEY Penns Creek COMMERCIAL Bets Well, I Guess! Girls' Chorus 1-2-3-43 Mixed Chorus 45 Monitor Typist. Betty is the only girl we know that always has her typing up to date. Maybe this is so because she is very good on the piano. Betty's alto voice is also a fine addition to our choruses. Betty is very popular with the opposite sex. It couldn't be those sparkling brown eyes that attracts those red heads, could it Betty? ss 12 JACK BACHMAN Middleburg GENERAL Jack Aw Soccer 1-25 Baseball 1-2-3-45 Basketball 1-2-3-45 Boys' Chorus 23335 lgdixed Chorus 25 Operettas 1-25 Class Play 15 Athletic ay . Jack is another one of our Navy lads. He entered the service in January 1945. Jack is always an energetic fellow, he could always be heard before he was seen. Most people will always remember Jack as the song bird who hauled garbage. Maybe his happiness is due to the fact that he now has a fiancee. No es verdad? WILLIAM SNYDER Beavertown COMMERCIAL Snyde1 ' Hockey, Geeu Boys' Chorus 3-45 Mixed Chorus 3-45 Monitor StaH. Although Bill just joined' our class in his Junior year he has made many fI'iends.

Since that time we have lost one and gained one, leaving our total the same as the opening day. In February a great change took place, something we had talked about since we we1'e Freshmen, both sections were combined and moved to room 6 with Mr. Robinson as our home room teacher. This unity, however, is not new to the Sophomore Class. Both sections have worked --wif 19 231-6- all year and have chalked up on the school calendar several very successful events. First was the chancing off of a 22-opund turkey at Thanksgiving time. Second, sponsoring one of the best school parties that M. H. S. has had in recent years. Third, a stationery sale which has placed us almost on Wall Street, and fourth, in sports our varsity basketball team consists of all but one Sophomore. With a group like this we are really look- ing forward to a big year as Juniors.

Within a short time, we had lost three members. Our Hrst activity of the year was a class party, which was held on September 29, for the purpose of having the members of the class become acquainted. Moving day for the Freshman Class was on February 12, at which time the 9-A section moved from Room 6 to Room 4 to join the 9-B group. We are well represented in the extra-cur- ricular activities of the school, having taken part in basketball, Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, Band, Orchestra, and Athletic Association Play.

E RLY SYNOPSIS The Late Mr. Early was presented by the Class of 46 . The play had an inter- estingly different plot than most plays and was hilariously presented to an enthusiastic audience. The actors interpreted their parts well, bringing ficticious characters to life. The plot is a very modern one dealing with the airplane as its theme. Donald Early and Doris Hull go for a ride and crash. Their friends not approving their constant companionship, try to convince Don and Doris that they are dead. The plan succeeds until Vera and Asher spill the beans. The play ends successfully with a thrilling climax.

Since that time the Business Course has grown considerably and at the present time about half the Senior and a larger portion of the Junior Class are taking the Business Course. Each day we are becoming more thor- oughly acquainted with the symbols and signs of shorthand, figures of bookkeep- ing, with our keyboard in typing. In typing we are receiving a great deal of experience by doing outside typing for the faculty, Junior Red Cross and different classes. Since our country is in need of and de- manding more trained office help, we feel the Business Course has an honored task to fulfill. Under the able direction of Miss Bow- ersox, who has shown patience, encouraged and helped us maintain common sense when we were up in the air and ready to throw everything overboard, I think we shall succeed. -sg 34 Our Physics class is a rather unusual one. Physics is a subject generally con- sidered as a masculine subject, but this year is composed of mostly feminine mem- bers. There are five boys and thirteen girls. If most of the girls continue study- ing Physics, the world will see many fem- inine mechanics and engineers. In Physics class we learn all about machines, matter, etc. We learn the rea- sons behind the movements of machines. We have rigged up many interesting ex- periments in our class periods. A Our class is interested in world affairs as related to the possibility of applying physics to the advancement of new things in the post-war world. lis- Future Farmers Home Economics The Future Farmers of America is an organization, composed of boys studying Vocational Agriculture. They enjoyed another successful year with a meeting every month to keep up their morale. Some of the activities of the organiza- tion vvas spraying fruit trees, caring for an orchard.

This year there are fifty-three girls taking advantage of this type of learning. We sincerely hope to have some of the Junior and Senior girls with us next year, as they are the ones leaving school and many become homemakers.

BUYS' BASKETBALL . . . tit The Middies team of 44-45, played many interesting games. The season being high-lighted by the Selinsgrove game, in which at the end of an extra period the score was still tie. The game ended with a victory for the Middies , the score being 28-29. At the beginning of the year seventeen boys turned out for basket- ball. The group was composed of one senior, two juniors, nine sopho- mores, three freshmen, and two eight grade students. There being only six veterans on the team, it required much drilling to develop this team. The credit of the organization of this team should be contributed to Coach Hermann, who through his skill and knowledge of basketball, was able to develop this highly cooperative team.

The following teams were entered in the competition: A Junior-Senior team, a Sophomore team, and a group consisting of Eighth and Ninth graders. Each team played' about six games with the Sophs showing their heels to the rest of the fellows by winning all their games and the league championship. The Seniors, losers in sev- eral close contests, were the runners-up. The Jr. Hi entry, although outweighed and inexper- ienced, put up good games and were hard luck losers in several battles. Our Seventh graders played three games with a grade school eleven, winning two and tieing the other contest. The games were close and the competition interesting. BASKETBALL Four teams, numbering 25 boys, Seniors, Jun- iors, Sophs and Frosh participated in inter-class basketball. All candidates for the varsity basket- ball team were excluded from these games. In the liveliest possible competition, a Senior team consisting of Paul Bachman, Blaine Moyer, Bob- by Ritter, Clyde Stettler, Harold Arbogast, Bill Snyder and Edgar Mitchell won the title by win- ning six games, losing one and being tied in an- other. The Juniors finished in second place, fol- lowed by the Sophs and Frosh. Twenty Seventh and Eighth grade boys bat- tled away for hours in an intramural basketball league. Many of these games were played at half time of the regular varsity contests. Yale , a team captained by Harry Feltman which included Eddie Miller, Doug Attinger, Graydon Lose and Fred Hestor captured the flag by sporting an eight won, three lost and one tied record. In sec- ond place was Penn , a team captained by Rich- ard Klinglerg third place went to Harvard , with Edwin Klinger, the leader. Richard Boyer, the Columbia team captain, brought his team in in fourth place. It can be seen that athletic opportunities were afforded practically every high school boy. Team competition, not only for varsity team members, was enjoyed by all. Soft-ball leagues are now being formed. --if 39 22+- l 7 1 l GGVERNOR MARTIN AND SENIGRS iff l On March 20, 1945, the members of the Senior Class, their Spon- sor, Mrs: Schindler, and Supervising Principal, Mr. Kuntzleman, took an educational trip to our State Capitol at Harrisburg. We were taken on a tour of the capitol building, the State Museum, and View the electrical display of the Forum, in the Educational Building. In the afternoon each student was personally introduced to the Honorable Ira T. Fiss, of Shamokin Dam, our Speaker of the House of Representatives, who in turn presented the class tothe House of Repre- sentatives, in their Assembly Session as his personal guests. We were all thrilled by this sudden popularity, of our Political Presentation to the austere body of men, and after another speech in our behalf, by the Speaker, we were further thrilled by applause and smiles from the gentlemen of the House of Representativs. ,- Ei40lS'- X X Senior Big Shots in the House of Representatives HCN. IRA T.

We then left the House of Representatives and were escorted to the governor's Reception Room, Where Governor Martin appeared in person, spoke to us, and very graciously posed with us in a group picture. By this time, were were thrilled beyond Words and many of us will cherish the memory of personally being a big shot for a day, and tell our de- scendants about shaking hands with the governor of the great state of Pennsylvania, Governor Martin, and the Speaker of our House of Repre- sentatives, the Honorable Ira T.
