The future of our land and of every land depends upon the supply of young men and young women Who, each year, complete their basic training in high schools and go forth to be absorbed fully into the adult life of their communities. Because our Nation is at war, this Period of transition or adjust- ment to adulthood, for you, will be immediate and brief. It is my earnest hope and wish for you, that you may have the vision, the Wisdom, the courage to Put the abili- ties Which you developed throughout your school life into adult service in the place of greatest usefulness.

COLLINS, Treasurer Miss ESTHER BRYDON, Secretary MR. D. I-I. HENRY, Solicitor To THE CLASS OF 1943: Your formal high school work is nearing its close. You started out with high aspirations in your freshman year. You have toiled faithfully for four years. Many of your classmates have fallen by the wayside. The struggles of many to attain the goal of graduation will be unwritten. Especially will it be so for those country boys and girls who had many chores to do, rode the bus, or thumbed their way to school. This also applies to those boys in town who delivered the early Papers. For the last year and a half, we have been at war. All are feeling the imfact of war more as time goes on. Some of the boys' minds have been unsettled as to whether it is best to remain in school or enlist in the army. All know that the draft will get them sooner or later. ln any ease, we know that the members of this class will measure up to the three hundred alumni who are already in the service. We wish to honor those girls who go into training as nurses. Wliatevei' you may do or wherever you may go, let it be said in the words of the poet, Whittier: Before me, even as behind, God is-and all is well. AIRTHUR R. STEWART ARTHUR R. STEWART B.S.

We not only carried out as best we could the traditions of Penn High but tried to create new ideas and interests. As freshmen, in September, 1939, we were two hundred and eleven strong. With an earnestness for our lessons, we encountered Latin and algebra and added to our knowledge of English and history. High school for us was a new and interesting experience. During our sophomore year, the records listed one hundred and ninety-nine members. We were recog- nized as a part of senior high school and took a greater interest in activities, although we continued to study hard and prepare our lessons well. By the time we were juniors, our tasks were many and well performed. After December the seventh, our one hundred and ninety-three juniors were made to realize that war changes things as we conserved supplies, bought War Stamps, collected books for soldiers, held air raid drills and came to school by War Time. Wirli some of our class deciding to join other ranks and some becoming less interested in education as lucrative war 'obs awaited them outside, our membershi decreased to one hundred and fort b the be- 1 P Y Y inninv of our senior ear. But those of us who remained then knew that our 'ob of learnin and doin 3 D Y J g g had become reater. We studied harder and worked extra hours so that we mi hr do our share in the war g g effort following graduation, AND GOES FORTH ' ' ' Q 5126011 7943 .

'ual From the clay we first met as freshmen to the day we departed as Penn High graduates, we were a class full of pep and enthusiasm. Our Iunior Class was under the leadership of President, lack Lyman, Vice President, Bob Hender- son, Secretary, jim Cuerrinig Treasurer, Marian Range, and our advisers, Miss Doris Thompson and Mr. Paul Sherwood. Among our social activities which will long be remembered were a tea dance, a skating party at Safeway Roller Rink, and a swimming party at Thiel. A high spot of the year was the class party held in the gym with Mr. Crowther serving as judge for the evening. Our class play, a three-act comedy, Sixteen in Augustu, under the direction of Miss Lucile Harman, was a great success. Witli our treasury full of money from the play, we completed the arrangements for our most import- ant event of the year, the Prom. By May 22, we had transformed the gym into the HU. S. S. Penn High , and nautical minded juniors and seniors were aboard dancing to the music of Ed. Ernst and his 'LDecim Clubw Orchestra. The theme was effectively carried out in blue and silver, anchors, life preservers, gang planks created a shiplike atmosphere. When we gathered for our Hrst senior class meeting, the following officers were elected: President, Harold Reichard, Vice President, Homer Henning, Secretary, Shirley Perrineg and Treasurer, Betty Christy. Miss Harman was to serve as our adviser. Before long a Pennerian -Staff was appointed, and because of the appointment of Shirley Perrine to the staff, jean Fisher was later elected class secretary. A magazine sale was the solution to our financial problem and the race was on to see whether the Blue Team, with Homer Henning as captain, or the Red Team, with Ann Baird as captain, would win. Ralph Fo al was the outstandin salesman of the class. The Blue Team entertained the winnin Red Team at a g . 5 . . . . . 5 . class art in the m with dancin and rela ames rovidin entertainment durin the evenin . P Y gy g Y g P g g g The actors of our senior class found an outlet for their talents in Wliat a Lifen, presented December 3rd and 4th under the direction of Miss Betty Knapp. Will we ever forget how cleverly lack Buys portrayed the escapades in the life of Henry Aldrich? Soon our high school days drew to a close. We were measured for caps and gowns, and our commence- ment announcements arrived, but when the time came to depart there was a tone of sadness in each of our voices. Our last get-together as a class was a farewell party. At our Vespers and Commencement many a mother and father looked on proudly as their son or daughter marched down the aisle. Wirli diploma in hand, each one of us started on a new journey in life.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Penn High's 1942 football season opened with Dan Benedetto, Bob Henderson, Paul lunlc, lack Kerschner, Rod Williams, and Tony Guerrini carrying over from the last season and a large crop of newcomers filling in the vacant ranks. This year Penn High came out on a Hfty-Hfty basis, winning four games, losing four games, and tying one. Greenville's rotal score summed up eighty-nine points while her opponents came along with forty-four points, The season was not exceptional or outstanding, but it was a year of hard Work and clean play for the Trojans who Hnished satisfied that Penn High had stood its own. Loyal fans gave the team a big hand for their fighting spirit. Those who have played their last game for their Alma lVIater are Bob Henderson, Dan Benedetto, Paul DeL:1urentis, lim Guerrini, lack Kerschner, lim Morrison, Rod Williams, Andy Offutt, Paul Hadar, Walter Klingensmith, and Tony Guerrini. They deserve all the luck in the world. Mtich credit for the success of the season is due to Coach Eddie Snyder and Assistant Coach Kenneth Eakin who stood by the boys in all their trials and victories and taught them how to play a good brand of football. The faithful managers, Bob Baer, Vic McCoy, Don Campbell, and Guy Denniston, took good care of the team all season, but it was up to the boys to go out and win. TERING INTO COMPETITION WITH RIV Sept. 11-GREENVILLE 0 - FARRELL 7 For our first game, P.H.S. traveled to Farrell to put up a good fight against their mighty foe. Far- rell's seventy-two yard run clinched the game. The Trojans suffered an offset on the opening play when Tony Guerrini was injured. sept. 19-GREENVILLE 0 - BEssEMER 6 The recovery of a Greenville fumble that resulted in a touchdown for Bessemer and a rain storm early in the third quarter dampened the spirits of the P.H.S. fans at their first home game. sept. 25-GREENVILLE 35 - UNION TWP. 0 A Penn High victory that was marked by im- proved line play, better blocking and offense. All our boys saw action in the game. Responsible for the score were Henderson, Iunk, and Ferry. Oct. 2-GREENVILLE I4 - TITUSVILLE o Henderson was responsible for both touchdowns in this game. The work of Denniston and Williams was also worthy of mention. Oct. Io-GREENVILLE 7 - GROVE CITY I3 Although our boys didnft bring home the bacon they at least broke the Gtovefs luck of not having been scored on in eleven games. Oct. 17-GREENVILLE 6 - SI-IARPSVILLE 6 There was a high spot for Penn High fans when Bob McLean climaxed a 63-yard sustained drive in the fourth quarter for our only score. But when we needed that extra point to chalk up a victory, well. . The game was the first tie in twenty years between Trojans and Blue Devils. Oct. 24-GREENVILLE I2 - FRANKLIN 6 Two touchdowns, one a trick play where Hen- derson took a lateral from junk and passed to Boliver in the end zone for the final score, made a Trojan victory. Oct. 31-GREENVILLE 2 - MEADVILLE 6 Black cats and witches had much to do with the ill-luck of the Trojans this night as Hendersonys 70-yZll'Cl run was recalled and a penalty imposed. After the Hrst quarter Meadville showed no more threats but we had missed our chance. Nov. 7-GREENVILLE I3 - SHENANOO TOWNSHIP o Climaxing the 1942 season our boys played Shenango Township on our own field. Greenville made two touchdowns in the opening minutes of the game and seemed content with the score. Pre- ceding the game Norma Iean Huntley was crowned football queen by Captain Bob Henderson.

GROVE CITY ,... FARRELL .... IN GLGRIOUS Our basketball season got off to a Hying start as the Trojan quintet took over the neighboring Fredonia team. The game was an even contest the first half, but by the Hnal whistle, the scoreboard showed Greenville to be twelve points ahead. The scores of our next four games, Franklin, Farrell, Meadville, and West Middlesex, showed that the Trojans as yet had not found the right combination to victory. In the Farrell game, Homer Henning, our elongated seniorf, made his debut. The Trojans, losing streak was broken by Titus- ville High, but that unfavored team put up a good fight. Our venture into the victory ranks, however, was short-lived, for the Meadville team chalked up the big end of the score. After three consecutive wins at the expense of Hickory, Mercer, and Grove City, Greenville was defeated by Sharon. The Trojans were handicapped by the absence of johnny Bright and P, Gf' Baer, two of our reliable players. The Trojans, back on their feet again, defeated Fredonia in a rough contest here. Nine consecutive points were made by P.H.S. in the last minutes of the game. Our next three meets proved profitable, for the Trojans gained victories over Hickory, Sharpsville, and West Middlesex. Homer Henning gave a thrill to the fans of Greenville and West Middlesex as he looped in twenty-two points, making victory secure. I. Our Boys in Action. 2. They Cheer Us On. 3. Faithful Forever. VICTORY OR CI-IEERLESS DEFEAT Penn High fans witnessed a slam-bang contest when P.H.S. defeated Mercer 39-32, our fifth con- secutive win. Personal fouls were a great handicap to the Mercerites. Full of hope for a sixth consecu- tive win, the Trojans met the mighty Sharon men only to come out on the bottom in a one-sided con- test, but in our next game, Greenville retaliated and took over Franklin High School. Boliver, Henning, and Henderson played an outstanding game. Even though Sharpsville endangered our first place position in the Five Team County Circuit League, the defeat of Grove City gave us our champ- ionship. Harry Lean showed lots of speed in this game, and scoring honors went to johnny Bright. At the season's closing game, the Trojans were defeated by the strong Farrell team. The Trojans played a much better game the last half than the first, but Farrell was too far ahead. Robert Baer, Robert Henderson, Harry Lean, and Homer Hen- ning, left the floor after playing their last high school game. After a hard and well-played season, the Trojans have to their credit twelve games won and nine games lost. Penn High placed Hrst in the Five Team County Circuit League and third in the Class A League. Appreciative of the work of Coach Snyder and his boys, the students cheered them through the season and wish them good luck in the future. -Q, r .D C v TI-IUS- DEVELOPING REAL PI-IYSICAL FITNESS WRESTLING I Top Row: Ken Eakin, coachg Robert McLean, William Peter- son, Kenneth Hovis, Roy Cass, Paul DeLaurentis, Bill Miller, Henry Gould, Lawrence Hovis.

RIO RICO Amos Molecule, inventor, and professor at Brighton College, broadcasts over station LO-LO his plans for a Gold Recovery Expedition to lonely Cocos Isle and tells how, in the 18th century, the Black Spider and his Mutineers seized the Moon Gold with all its' treasure. Lewis Morgan, wealthy Hnancier, furnishes his yacht, the USouthern Crossu, and the party, including several Brighton College co-eds, arrives safely at Cocos Isle. Professor Molecule brings along a device for detecting buried treasure. The gold hunters find a cave full of sleeping Mutineers instead of the treasure. It appears that, having drunk from a spring on the island, they have been in a trance for two hundred years. Revived by means of Molecule's Magic Nerve Pills, in appreciation they make him King of Cocos Isle, and Molectlle keeps everything under control until the Mutineers Hnd their treasure chest is empty. The new King buries trinkets for the pirates to dig up and Aunt Iulia teaches them ballet dancing. Finally when the gold is discovered and a tragic outcome seems inevitable, Morgan reveals the identity of the Mutineers who are students in Professor lVIolecule's class of gadgetry.

'LSIXTEEN IN AUGUST' L'SiXtt-en ln August , a play of family life, Presents both sides of the endless struggle between the older and younger generations. The Plot reveals a chapter in the life of Gusty Goodrich, a breezy, good-natured young girl who is having parent troubleg of Carol Dean, a problem child and selfish invalid who comes into the Goodrich home and practically ruins the doctorls family life, and of Arthur Peterson, a boy who acts older than he really is, and who finds that his Psychological theories break down under the strain of trying to under- stand girls. WHAT A LIFE ln two days l-lenry Aldrich succeeds in getting into more difficulty than most boys can in an entire lifetime. The affairs of Roman history have a Profound effect on l-lenryis chances of taking the president of the junior class to the spring dance, and a mythical uncle dying of tuberculosis takes care of a situation involving I-lenry's suspension for cheating on the history exam. Einding pawn tickets for the high school's missing band instruments in l-lenry Aldrichys name, brings his difficulties to a zenith.

F. F. F. The time is four o'clock and all the students are beginning to flee from Penn High. But, as if drawn by some hidden magnet, a little band of seniors, twelve in all, gathers in room 310. The F. F. F. F. QFree French Flunkers Fraternityj is about to begin another of its all-night sessions. S'Dodie Muster wears a frown. Pat Uber seems resigned to her fate. Lyle Smock is doing his best to explain to Miss Bost that he would have had his paper in, but for the fact that- ah-h-h circumstances above and beyond my control made it humanly impossibleu or words to that effect. Needless to say, his breath is wasted. Betsy Freeburg enters, timidly going by the way of the back of the room in order to avoid Miss Bost's glare. Bob Tanguy straggles in and immediately begins to tease Barbara Hunter, who is in the exceptionally delicate process of applying barn paintw to her lips. Vxfarren Swartzbeck and Peggy Enterline, the pride of the French class, arrive with Hoh-the-pity-of-it-all'' expressions on their faces. Membership in the F. F. F. F. is a new experience for them. Dick Popple comes in and starts to argue with Redl' DuMars as to whether Urecevoir' is an Metre verb or an 'lavoirn verb. Off in a corner, Edna Templeton makes a desperate bid to get her day's lesson done so that she may go home on the bus. Finally, Bob Gafrett wanders in, late as usual. Then, with finality, Miss Bost strides to the door and closes it. The F. F. F. F. is now in session. Dodie whispers to Betsy Freeburg that if worse comes to worse, she will share with her the hamburger she has in her purse. Miss Bost looks at Barbara Hunter and Barbara cringes because she knows that her gum. tucked neatly behind her eye-tooth, has been spotted. lvliss Bost points to the waste basket. Babs rises and deposits a juicy wad, only two minutes old-kerplunk! Meanwhile, Smock has taken a rubber band from his pocket, rolled a paper-wad, and is carefully draw- ing a bead on Poppleys head. Dick has wisely fortified himself with a copy of Une Aventure En Francais, which, incidentally, was appropriately titled, because taking French is truly an adventure! Tanguy is whistling a horrible rendition of La Marseillaise. Miss Bost, at her wits, end, resorts to her pet expression, 'KHonestly, l don't know what you children are coming to. Heads are hung low as she adds, You havenlt done a speck of work since you came in here. Now get busy, toute de suite! And so the hours pass. The 'Ksmart set have long since gone, their work completed. But a precious few force Miss Bost to keep her vigil. Betsy and Dodie have no developed indigestion from their ham- burger. Lyle Smock has worn out five pencils and is on his sixth. Miss Bost has lost a good Hve pounds. And so it goes on into the night. The F. F. F. F. is in session! L Take It Easy, Louisey. 2.

AT BAEELE EVEN THE MOST SCI-IOLARLY THE GHOST IN THE GARRETT Once upon a time a HUNTER, with a red HATT-ON, went to KITCH a BAER. While walking through the woods, he heard many BAIRDs singing, and he saw a LEAN BILLIG-oat which chased him into a GARDINIER a SMALL BROWN house. He RAND-ALL the way to the house hoping that this would BEE a good place to HYDE. Finding no FOULKs at home, he took a tool from his pocket, and by IJERRINE with DE-TULLIO-Pened the door. He entered into the HALL and walked to the kitchen where he tripped in a GROOVER in the floor and FELL SMOCK into a GASS RANGE. He said to himself, K'I'll bet that would BAKE-WELL a BAERV' Suddenly, he heard a frightful noise which made his eyes almost POPPLE out of his head. I hope that,s just a KNISELY-ttle BAER for me to KELL-AR, at least not a big LYON. The things I most HAD-AR LYONSV' He CROWLEY-ed out of the house into the FOG-ALmost scared GUERRINI. He stood near the RIDGE of a hill and SANKEY down on a CRAIG to rest, but he soon got OFFUTT when he again saw the BILLIG-oat. With neither dayLIGHT-NER a lantern, he could Hnd no MARKS of a BAER. He thought it would be better to BUBECK in the houseg at least, he thought it would be WEIMER there. But BUYS and BUYS, he heard the noise again coming from upstairs. He got all RILEY-d up, and the noise made him IVIAURER MRVOS. When he could stand it no IVIOYER, he said to himself, Wl1at WILL-A-MAN do?,' Then he thought, 'LDon't LY-MAN, you're scared, and donyt be a CAD-MAN. UBER MUSTER up your courage. A He KREPS up the stairs to HUNT-LEY noise. He could not HARRY, OWEN to his heart pound- ing in his CHESSt, but could only STEP-AN-ICH at a time. He tried to FISH-ERound in the dark for a light. I DUNNA-VANT to fall againf' he thought. Neither do I want to FIKE, because I have MCLEAN clothes onf' Then suddenly, he saw a sight which made the YOUNG-BLOOD in his veins FREESE. There in the GARRETT, he saw a GHOST. Running out of the house, he said, HThis place is neither good FUR- MAN nor beast. He SVORG he would never return. He never did! 1. Bob and Clair. 2.

PEGS Seven Pegs are in our class, Each of them a charming lass. Since Margaret Bubeck talks a lot, In study hall, she's often caught. Margaret Gallus a wife will be- A happy one as you will see. Enterline canlt make up her mind, They surely aren,t two of a kind. Peg Harry is a question box, She talks and talks and talks and talks. Peg Hatton is the quiet kind, She stores up knowledge in her mind. A friendly girl is Margaret Hyde, She loves to hike both far and wide, Margaret Mazzeo's friendly too, When youlre with her, you're never blue. BOBS Seven seniors, all named Bob- Pick them out from any mob: Henderson and Bobby Baer Love the sports and ladies fair. Handsome Bob Kosanovich Sings a song a bit off-pitch, He, too, loves the ladies fair, Inst as Henderson and Baer. Bob McLean's found fast asleep- Can't waste time on lessons deep. Beckstein burns the midnight oil, Earning Als with all his toil. French is Tanguyys pride and joy. He's a scholar and some boy! Garrett studies French-and howl ln E. F.

Said he, 'K 'Tis for Dot That I cry a lot, And that's why my eyes are not dry, manf, There is a young fellow named Reichard, On music he always does try hard, I-le's a spry old gent, Not crooked or bent, After him and his car, the girls cry hard. A young girl named Shirley Perrine Is never seen weepin' nor cryin'. She peeks at the keys, Puts the guys on their knees, And they always come back and keep tryin'. I know a young lady named Ghost Who enjoyed eating her toast. She also could sing And play on the string, But never was she heard to boast. There is a young fellow named Garrett, Who does not look a bit like a carrot, I-Iels quite tall and thin, With a sly little grin, And a beak that is quite like a parrot. A handsome young fellow, Guy Lysle, Wins many a friend with his smile. I-le reads P. O. D. Sends mail C. O. D. And studies just once in a while. There were three girls named Dottie, In Spanish they ne'er were naughty. It was Miss Bostls art Which kept them apart- They were Dorothy, Dot, and Dottie. We had a senior named Sue, I-Ier ideas were always quite new. She was known to rate With George as her dateg And wore clothes of a colorful hue. There were two brothers named Mrvos, They never appeared to be nervous. It was always a hike For Rudy and Mike If they were needed for service. There is a young fellow named Les, Of blueprints he does make a mess. Though drawn with black ink, They come out quite pink, They're over-exposed, he'll confess. As seniors came Wallis and Wellsg We notice how each teacher tells By each smile and each walk And the style of their talk How to know Wallis from Wells. I know a girl named Beverly Ann, Shels willing to help whenever she can. She studies her books Or improves her looks With the hope some day to get her man. CARE 1. Don't Fall In. 2. Good Friends. 3.

TI-IE TRIUMPH OF OPTIMISM As mighty seniors, we have seen The passing of the coffee bean, The advent of the ration card, Making travel a trifle hard. On foot we had to go to dance, To get a car, we had no chance. Sugar, we had to do without, And many an athletic bout. Our bread we had to learn to slice, And at our girls, we threw some rice. We lost some boys to Uncle Sam, And on exams we had to cram. The work was hard, though for the best, And now we're thankful for a rest. We had our trials and tribulations, Fire drills and examinationsg Air raids and blackouts were our lot, But they were fun, and don't think not The teachers' wrath we had to bear, Though oft-times they got in our hair, But all-in-all, they were good sports And didn't give such bad reports. 'Twas really an eventful year Filled with things to e'er hold dear, And as we now leave old Penn I-Iigh, We have to breathe a gentle sigh. ....CharlesMorneweck Frank McElree ................CharlesFreese .....Smart Guy, on Exam Day Evelyn Iohnston Bernice McClure Betty Christy War Stamp Day Betty Melvin . . . . .

But fun for me today won't be, It's easy for me now to see. For with my mind in such a daze, My books and problems seem a maze My P. O. D. I have not read, In it another test l dread, At English I have not yet looked, 'Twould seem as though my goose were cooked, My trig also I have not done, In that I'm not the only one. My chemistry I did not touch, My mark in it will not be muchg But French is what I fear the most, And that is not an idle boast. I sit in seat and long regret The lessons that I did not get. But now the time is past to fret, 'Twill not be long till doom is met. Though now the sun does shine outside, For me the day is dark inside. For lessons seem like clouds of doom, And cast o'er me a shade of gloom.
