J ane H311 Treasurer --- .... Joseph Mauck Class History We started our formal education as high school students in September, 1939. Miss Bitting CMrs. Drickj, Mr. Rahauser, and Miss Turner were our home room teachers, as we required three rooms for our 102 members. During our sophomore year we elected Jane Hall, president, Calvin Barto, vice president, John Waltman, secretary, and William Henderson, treasurer. A class party was held in late winter at Margery Pauling's home. This was our first social event. It was a successful and gala affair. During the junior year we selected our class rings. We then decided to raise some money by sponsoring a movie, 'tKathleen and having a food sale. With the proceeds we sponsored the Senior Party. This social function was greatly enjoyed by all. Our class officers were president, William Henderson, vice president, Jane Andy Hall, secretary, Beaver Waldron, treasurer, Elwood Harer. How proud we were when we became seniors! Our class, consisting of thirty- six members, selected William Henderson as president, Eugene Houser as vice presi- dent, Jane Hall as secretary, and Joe Mauck as treasurer. Our activities started with the magazine campaign, which was very successful financially. We proved our abilities as salesmen and earned a goodly sum to be applied to the Year Book expenses. Mrs. McMillen, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Pauling, and Mrs. Waltman, our grade mothers, gave us a very nice Christmas Party. Next came the big day when we had our pictures taken, and we were all uneasy until we saw the proofs. Shortly after Christmas we chose our class colors-blue and gold--and ordered our felt goods. It arrived while school was closed for the registering of individuals for War Ration Book Two. Tiger House , which was selected as our class play, proved to be a very successful venture. It was a mystery comedy which kept the audience in suspense until the final act. There was a large attendance and those who saw it agreed that it was an excellent school production. As the Year Book goes to press, we are looking forward eagerly to graduation. Twelve WILLIAM HENDERSON Athletic Club 2, 3, 4, Movie Club 3, Vice President of Athletic Club 4, Football 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, President of Class 3, 4, Microphone 4, Year Book 4, Class Treasurer 2, Class Secretary l, Senior Class Play. On a basketball Hoor is the most likely place to find our class president, Bill. Never tiring of the sport, he has often pulled our team to the winning side. Bill's good-natured personality has won him many friends during his school life. EUGENE HOUSER Hi-Y 1, Drum and Bugle Corps 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, Vice President of Class 4, Football 4, Basketball 4, Year Book 4, Microphone 4. Eugene is the tallest boy in our class. Captain of the Safety Patrol, he could be seen on the corner every night as We left school. His friendliness and wit have Won him many friends.

We Wish him all the luck in the world. , JANE HALL Dramatic Club, Secretary 1, Tri-I-li-Y 2, Cheerleader 4, Drum and Bugle Corps 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 2, 3, 4, President 3, 4, Homeroom President 1, Class President 2, Vice President of Class 3, Secretary of Class 4, Microphone 3, 4, Intramural Basketball 1, 2, Year Book 4, Basketball 3, 4, Senior Class Play. Jane shows great ability on a basketball Hoor. But even sports are forgotten when she catches sight of her favorite candy-peppermint. Jane's sunny per- sonality Will bring cheer to many suiering patients when her ambition to be a nurse is achieved. ,,. ,. JOSEPH MAUCK Athletic Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Football 2, 3, Basketball 1, 12: 3, 4, Class Treasurer 4, Year Book 4, Senior Class lay. J oe's life will never be dull, because he has so many interests.

Thirteen KATHRYN BAKER Homemaking Club 1, 43 Tri-Hi-Y 23 Athletic Club 3. Kathryn is the blond-haired girl of our class. The old saying Dizzy Blondes certainly doesn't apply to her. She is very quiet with a great interest in home- making. We feel sure that she will make an efficient dietician.

The best of success to you, Eleanor. EUGENE BEEBER Dancing Club 33 Athletic Club 4. Eugene is the boy who can always be found teasing someone in the halls. Well-liked by all the boys, he is rather bashful around the girls. May he always be as happy and carefree as he has been in school. WILLIAM DRUM Athletic Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Basketball Team 1, 2, 3, 4. Bill is a quiet, nice-looking, and bashful sort of lad. He has never been known to look at girls and blushes violently when you mention them. Throughout high school he showed his athletic ability by piling up points for our basketball team. Fourteen MAXINE ECK Tri-Hi-Y Club 1, 2, 4, Athletic Club 3, Secretary of Tri-Hi-Y Club 23 Microphone, Editor-in-Chief 45 Year Book, Photography Editor 4, Vice President, Tri-Hi-Y 43 Senior Class Play. Maxine is our top-ranking student. She came from Montoursville to join our class as a junior. She is quiet, witty, and capable.

He is quite ambitious and the future surely holds a prominent place for him. HAROLD FO UST Football 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3 Athletic Club 1, 2, 3, 4 Harold is the athletic type.

I Sixteen BYRON KILMER Orchestra 1, 2, 4g Drum and Bugle Corps 2, 3, 4g Football 3, Basketball 3g Microphone 4. Byron is the lad who is always willing to do his share in any activity. Did you see him assisting the photographers when the group pictures were taken for the Year Book? Since he seems to favor younger girls, we suppose his heart will be in school several years after he has left. KEITH MCCORMICK Handicraft Club lg Dancing Club 2g Hi-Y 3g Athletic Club 4. Although he finds quite a thrill in driving cars, especially trucks, Keith's really great thrill will be realized in the future when he expects to own his own airplane.

Seventeen LLOYD MILLER Athletic Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Football 1, 2, 35 Basketball 25 Year Book 4. Lloyd is the tall, blonde, good-looking boy you will usually find talking to the girls.

CLASS S0 GS OUR TRIBUTE Tune-Londonderry Air 1Danny Boyj Words by June McMil1en Come, Seniors, All, We'll laud our Alma Matter, Our high school days have now come to an end, In '43 our caps and gowns we're donning, To show the world, our lessons we have learned. Our colors bright of blue and gold are flying, High, high above the common walks of life: They challenge us to live and love more nobly- Oh, teachers dear, a tribute true, we pay to you. Dear Fellow-students, as we now are leaving, Our hearts and hands we all extend to you: Follow the trail where we are proudly leading, Let's seek the best of Character in life, And Culture, too, will be our fond ambition, Citizenship, our country's greatest need-- For these we'll strive and always we'll remember Montgomery-Clinton, the source of our ideals. FORWARD, SENIGRS Tune- Onward Christian Soldiers Words by Helen Louise Herman For the past twelve years We've attended schoolg We have learned our lessons And the Golden Ruleg We have worked together, Played together, toog With our graduation day So near, we're sad, 'tis true. Chorus- Forward then, all seniors! This our battle hymn- Don't forget our motto: We are out to win! Freshmen, sophomores, juniors We are fond of youg We value your friendship- Loyal, strong and true. Though we roam o'er all the world, This one thing we know- We'll never forget you, no matter Where we go. Class of Nineteen Forty-three Is beginning lifeg We are well prepared For the coming strife. We thank all the members of Our dear faculty For the things they've Taught us of freedom and liberty.

It isnlt the best or the most nearly correct message you have ever read, but to some- one away from home it gave those newsy little bits of information that were longed for. Between the lines Paul could read that the world was at last getting back to normal again. Please do not judge this letter according to the standards of correct English, but merely by the lift it would give to a tired, home-sick man. Montgomery, Pa. May 21, 1958 Lieutenant Paul Shrey Berlin, Germany Dear Paul, 1Well, soldier, you will soon be coming home again, but youlll never recognize the p ace. Why, just the other day I ran into Mrs. John Waltman. She was the former June McMillen, and, Paul-you will never believe this, but she has five children. At least that is all I counted at one time, but then I saw a couple more come up to her soon after I left, and I presume they were hers, too. They were very cute and well behaved, but-well-I could just hardly believe my eyes. Her husband, John, is the chief caretaker of the Susquehanna Heights Cemetery , and as I understand, has a thriving business. I must also tell you of the engagement of Maxine Eck to Harold Opp, but you'll re- call that they always were wild about each other, so that isn't really any surprise. Her diamond is as large as a goose egg. We received a letter recently from Margery Pauling, who is at the head of the Secretarial Department at Juniata College, and tells us that Kathryn Baker, head of the Homemaking Department, will soon be transferred to a larger college. I attended a symphony concert last Friday night. It was really the most wonderful I have heard in a long time. Dunning Stamets was the director. He was so impressive and dignified. The symphony entitled The Barrel House Blue Room was written by Eugene Beeber. He always did have an ear for music, and at last he is receiving the recognition he deserves for his great talent. We have heard recently that Zena Widell has gone back to New York and is trying to perform her household duties, which is a difficult task when five children are involved. Lloyd Miller, the big boss of the American Store, and Shirley Temple, the cashier, have been seen at the Stork Club doing the rumba. Imagine that! How surprised we were to read of Byron Kilmer's heroism in a naval battle in the Twenty-four ir if CLASS PRCDPHECY ir ik Continued Pacific! He is to be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the President of the United States, Ned Pauling. Following this there was a big parade in honor of Byron, which was led by Reba Reese, the still youthful looking drum majorette. And, Paul, you really must go to the Waldorf Astoria as soon as you come home. Dorothy Opp is the leading dietitian, and the food she prepares is really delicious. Eugene Houser, policeman for the city of Rabbit Town, caught the bandit, Elwood Harer, in the act of stealing jewelry from the store of Roberta Wolf, whose establish- ment is the oldest and best known in that city. Carl Hessel is now secretary to Mr. Robert Shireman, who owns the Diamond Slipper Night Club and who has employed William Drum as Master of Ceremonies. The Rotary Club held a beauty contest and none other than Eleanor Bastian was the winner. She was crowned queen at a party held at Mr. Shireman's night club on Saturday night. My, but she looked lovely! Frances Hartzell was the runner-up. Harold Foust, Keith McCormick, and Carl Farley-three prominent men of the city-were the judges. Lois Warner was awarded an E by the government for never missing a day in the ten years that she worked in the American Aircraft Corporation. She certainly is to be commended for her regular and unfailing attendance. ' Robert Russell was awarded a prize at a party that Jane Hall gave last night for be- ing the most bashful boy present, but we never found out what it was because he was to bashful to open it. Fae McMi1len has been dancing for the soldiersg but now, I understand, she has married a multi-millionaire, who was struck by her beauty and grace. As usual, Helen Louise Herman is writing prize winning essays, only this time they are on the Tank Destroyer Division of the United States Army. Her nance used to be in that division. And you should see the unique establishment opened by William Henderson and Joe Mauck! It was created to give the time of the arrival of the busses so that members could go down and kiss the girls goodbye. The membership is very large, and the crowds waiting for the buses are really amazing. Well, Paul, all of the luck in the world to you, and may God see fit to send you home soon. Lovingly, Shirley and June P. S. Added by the censor. June Woodling wanted to be a secretary, but she received so many offers that she decided not to work at all. Shirley Mincemoyer has decided not to marry for several years, but to continue as a second lieutenant in the WAACS. Twenty-five if SENICDR CLASS WILL if .In the name of all seniors everywhere, we the Seniors of Montgomery-Clinton High School, being indisputably of sound mind and joyous memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.

DIRECTORS Geraldine Bennage, G. Marlin Spaid. SYNOPSIS OF PLAY As the play opens, Erma Lowrie, a former shop girl has inherited a supposedly haunted house from her Aunt Sylvia, a spirit medium. When Sylvia traveled through Africa studying the Heathen Cult that she practiced, she stole a jeweled collar from the neck of their god, a tiger. The plot of the story centers around the visits of this tiger to Mystery Manor to recover the necklace. Peggy Van Ess, the pretty girl friend of Erma, Oswald Kerins, a bug catcherug and Arthur Hale, Erma's cousin, arrive just as things begin to happen. Throughout the play, everyone, especially Aunt Sophia, who makes her home with Erma, is led to suspect Yami, a mysterious houseboy, and Mrs. Murdock, a secretive Scotch housekeeper, who always appear unexpectedly and create an air of suspense, even when they are not speaking. To add to the tension, a tiger is reported to have escaped from a circus near-by. The first act is climaxed by the appearance of the Mystery Woman who soon vanishes when a pair of tiger claws, which appear from behind a book case, tighten about her shoulders just as the lights go out. A masked face appears at the window while Erma, and MacIntosh, the new boatman who is really a detective summoned by Erma, are talking. While he tries to find the identity of the masked face, he is drawn into the fireplace by the tiger claws. Later when Arthur, Erma's cousin, and the heroine are examining Aunt Sylvia's picture, they discover a letter addressed to Erma. It tells the location of instructions concern- ing the whereabouts of the stolen necklace. Meanwhile Mac has discovered a secret room behind the fireplaceg and in it he finds the Mystery Woman, who tells him of the great danger to Erma if she does not leave Mystery Manor. Arthur urges Erma to follow the instructions of the letter. This leads to their ex- ploring the secret room together until they find the hiding place of the jewels. After a swift succession of surprising events, Arthur reveals himself as the Tiger Man and admits that he has played on the superstitious of the household in an attempt to frighten all people away from Mystery Manor. He also tells of murdering Aunt Sylvia and of his attempts on the life of the Mystery Woman, who is his! wife. In the end, Arthur and his accomplice, Thompson, are turned over to the police to receive their just punishment. Yami decides not to return the necklace to the Tiger Cult, of which he is the High Priest, but to present it to Erma and Mac as a wedding present. Twenty-nine DC YO REMEMBER?

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY A fast-moving comedy of three acts entitled The Nutt Family was presented December 11 and 12 by the members of the Junior Class. The entire play takes place at Crestdale, a summer home formerly owned and occupied by Dr. See, who used it as a home for nervous people. Still thinking it is a rest home, some of his former patients come back, not realizing that now a private family by the name of Nutt lives there. The scenes between Orestus and Cerise made everyone laugh, and the trouble between Ima Nutt and Larry Smart had everyone worried. CHARACTERS Dr. P. Nutt .... ......................

In the latter part of September the Pennsylvania Motor Police helped Montgomery'- Clinton organize a School Boy Patrol. It operates under the direction of Mr. Guido. The patrol was organized to protect the smaller children in crossing streets and intersections. Some of the places where members are stationed at dismissal time are the High Street and Penn Street intersections, Penn Street intersection, and the east entrance of the school building to the Susquehanna Heights. Eugene Houser and William Henderson have been named captains of the patrol. Other boys assisting them are Robert Stroehlen, Dick Kemery, Clifford Cram, Wayne Miller, Maurice Buss, Roland Decker, Arthur Miller, Robert Miller, Gerald Wagner, Carl Tallman, Max Neufer, and Kenneth Blessing, Forty-six ATHLETICS Montgomery-Clinton High School enjoyed one of its best basketball seasons and won its first championship since the 1935 season. Much of the credit for the line season must be given to Coach Guido, who started out with an inexperienced team consisting of only one letter winner, and turned it in to a Winning combination. Montgomery got off to a very poor start by losing to Montoursville and Muncy. However, the local quintet defeated Sonestown on the home court to offset these two losses. After losing to Muncy they won three games in a row, but then dropped a close decision to Hughes- ville. Following this game, the Red Raiders hit their stride and came through to win 7 straight games. The wins included easy triumphs over Montoursville, Muncy, Picture Rocks, Watsontown, and Ralston. An average Sonestown team and a good Hughesville team gave the Red Raiders a real scare, but the locals finally won after hard fought games. Coming into the final game with a chance to materialize a three-way tie, the Red Raiders played a great brand of ball to overcome Hughesville. The score was 35-34. Play-off Games Montgomery and Hughesville clashed in the opening game and the Red Raiders again proved too much for the Greenbacks as they scored a 34-33 victory. Mont- gomery then lost to the Muncy Indians and broke its eight-game winning streak. However, they rebounded with a surprising 33-23 victory over Hughesville at Hughes- ville. The Red Raiders then clinched the title when they put on a rousing last period attack to easily overcome a lucky Muncy five. 'A' 'A' ir 'A' ir if Captain Bill Henderson was the leading scorer for the Montgomery Red Raiders during the 1943 basketball season. His final total was 188 points in 18 games, four of which were play-off games to decide the championship. Henderson was followed closely by Butch Prosseda who caged 164 in 17 games. Bill Drum came in a close third with 138 points in 18 games. All three boys are well up among the leaders of the West Branch League. Fred Huff, only freshman to make the varsity, came in fourth with points by sinking 44 points. Bill McCormick, a reserve guard, made good on all 3 of his foul tries, Prosseda made the best foul shooting record of the regulars by coming through with 30 out of 67. Several of his fouls were made at critical moments in the two close games played with Hughesville. Henderson shot 83 Held goals and proved to be one of the best shots of the league. t Three of the starting five and two capable reserves will be absent when next basket- ball season rolls around. Captain Bill Henderson, Bill Drum, and John Waltman of the varsity will ba graduated in May, as will Joe Mauck and Pauli Shrey of the reserves.

'iJUN1oR VARSITY BASKETBALL As a result of the gas and tire situation, the junior varsity team was unable to make the trips with the varsity, and other teams in the league were unable to travel to Montgomery. However, the team did play several games with teams made up of former M. C. H. S. stars. Although the junior varsity didn't win against these bigger and better opponents, they always gave them a good battle. They also played several practice games that were closely fought and created much excitement. Captain Paul Shrey, Joe Mauck, Bob Miller, Harry Soards, and Dale Pick were the nucleus of the squad. Shrey and Mauck are seniors,'Miller is a junior, Soards is a sophomore, and Pick is a freshman. Several boys of the junior varsity team will probably move up to varsity positions when next basketball season rolls aroundL Fifty Jane Trude, Coach GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Girls' Varsity Basketball Team, coached by Miss Jane Trude, started the season by defeating an Alumnae team upon two diierent occasions. It also won several prac- tice games against school pick-up teams. After several weeks of diligent practice, the girls, dressed neatly in their red shorts and white blouses, defeated the Hughesville girls at Hughesville. Later they played the Hughesville girls on the home floor twice, losing the first and winning the second. The final exciting contest of the season took place on the Hughes- ville gym floor. The Montgomery girls lost by three points, the score being 28 to 25.
