OUR JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASS ADVISER, BECAUSE OF HER PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING AND HER UNTIRING EF- FORTS IN GUIDING US THROUGH OUR LAST TWO YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL. Penn High School, facing Penn Avenue, is named indirectly for William Penn, the founder of our state...It is approximately the geo- graphic center of our borough and the center of school and community activities... Including the seniors of 1948, thirty classes have graduated from its halls. . .This class brings the total number of graduates from Penn High to over three thousand six hundred.. .The name of the high school is reflected in the title of this annual, the Penncrian. Penn High School claims our loyalty. It is the symbol of our youth, of our companionship, and of our prep- aration for life. For several years we have centered our activities around Penn High. Here we have shared our experiences with each other, and we have tried to make- file most of our opportunities. Our teachers desire to help us make our high school days worth while. The program of studies offers a wide variety of courses from which we may choose when it's time for school. Clubs and extra-curricular activities inspire friendship and develop responsibility among the members. Most of all, though, the groups provide enjoyment when classes arc over. Football, basketball, wrestling, baseball—Penn High has a sport to hold the spotlight all year round. Whether we win or lose, Penn High's fans arc loyal, for we’re proud of our teams. 9 We are ready to face the world after graduating from Penn High. The years here have been valuable in preparing us for our future vocations. As we complete our high school days, we know that “the future be- gins now. dAn 7 fl ma t A laUx U. of Illinois.

I note an appalling apathv among eligible voters in our country for their responsibilities and duties as citizens of the nation. This indifference has resulted not only in corruption and inefficiency in our democratic form of government, but it has also enabled certain opportunist individuals to spread their foreign principles of government among our citizens. When our forefathers established the American form of democracy they recognized that only through the develop- ment and maintenance of a thorough system of free public education could the form of government which they had established be made to function in the manner that they envisaged. It follows then that you, the graduating class of 1948, who represent the highest stage of development of that free public school system have a definite responsibility to use the skills, the knowledge, the ideals which you have attained through high school not only to make a living but also for the service anti improvement of that government. If the people are to remain the sovereign power, if the will of the people is to be the law of the land, if an act of the government is to be an act of the people, then it is absolutely essential that you be concerned about and show a willingness and disposition to par- ticipate actively in the responsibilities of American citizenship. A. Bruch Denniston Dr. Denniston has a deep interest in the wel- fare of the students of Penn High. . . He likes to discuss class projects as he and Lawrence Pfaff, the senior class president, are doing in this picture. ..Dr. Denniston is busy with conferences, conventions, and meetings of committees of which he is a member— all for the purpose of bringing better education to Greenville, and yet he always finds time to talk things over personally with anyone who wants help or guidance. Our Principal Members of the Class of 1948: World War II was raging when yon were freshmen. You saw Germany and then Japan crushed. You saw the first anti second atomic bombs fall and ruin whole cities. Uncertain post-war conditions have existed since then. Trends of our times: Foreign: Jewish-Arab conflict in Palestine; Hindu-Mos- lem atrocities in India; Dutch-Indonesian skirmishes in Java; civil war in Greece; and the so-called cold war between the capitalism of United States and communism of Russia. Domestic: The political sparring in a Presidential election year; high taxes; high cost of living; monetary inflation; the Marshall Plan; labor unionism; and universal military training. No permanent peace has been established. Civilization is at the crossroads. Shall it continue or will another “Dark Age pervatle the earth? Have the foregoing events caused a fatalistic attitude among you of L.et us cat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die ? It would be far better for you to leave the halls of old Penn High with a spirit of optimism. Mastery instead of mediocrity, success instead of defeat, peace instead of war, should be your aims. Take your place in society with the preceding objectives. You will then make your community and nation a better place in which to live. Arthur R. Stewart ARTHUR R.

Every morning at seven thirty the manager, Dutch Baker, came around yelling, “Come on, you guvs, time to get up! The boys would get out of bed, dress, and go outside and get themselves a nice basin of cold water to wash in. At eight o’clock, up the hill they would go to get breakfast. After breakfast they would do the dishes and go back to their cabins. At nine they would dress and report on the playing field to listen to Mr. Berry yell, “Fifty push-ups! On your feet—hit the dirt!” until they thought they would fall over. Then Mr. Snyder would take over, and the team would run through a new play or practice charging. At eleven the boys would go for a swim in the pool for half an hour, then get dressed, eat lunch, do the dishes, and go to their cabins till three o'clock. I hen they would go out on the field again to listen to Mr. Berry shout, Up—down up—down! and then through more plavs. At five, the boys were about dead on their feet until the command, “That's all,” and there was a mad dash for the pool again. At six they went to supper, and at seven they went back up to the mess hall for skull drill where they went over new plays and assignments. There were a couple of nights after skull drill that they got ice cream (compliments of Barney ). And that was the wav it went all week. The next week was spent going down to Packard Park twice a day until the team was finally in shape for the first game. SEPTEMBER 5- FARRELL To open their schedule, the Trojans traveled to Far- rell where they suffered a defeat as the result of two blocked punts. Captain Don Aubel was injured and played only half the game. The Trojans fought hard, and Duard Reichard, who was laid up most of the season, played for the Greenville touchdown. 1 he re- sult of the game was 18-6. SEPTEMBER 19—OIL CITY The Blue and Gold did a lot better at Oil City with a tie score of 7-7. After being outplayed for three quarters, they made a 105 yard drive for the touchdown with fullback Bill Palm going over. Coach Snyder told the team, “I never had a ball team that drove like you boys did in the fourth quarter. SEPTEMBER 26—TITUSVILLE The Snydermen journeyed to Titusville to play the first night game ever played there, but Titusville had nothing to celebrate as Busch, Paint, and Marks crossed into pay dirt, with DuMars completing two out of three conversions. When the final whistle blew the score stood 20-6. OCTOBER 3—GROVE CITY Then came the game with Grove City, our oldest rival. The high flying Eagles were considered one of the best teams in the county with no defeats. The boys went out on the field determined to win and trimmed Grove City 24-0. Palm and DeArment each scored a touchdown, and pint-sized Dale Busch went over twice. That was truly a hard-earned victory. The night before the game, Grove City celebrated by bury- ing Greenville, but the Monday following the game, we had the same kind of celebration. OCTOBER 10—FRANKLIN Another team fell to the determined Trojans as they defeated their foe, 13-0, with Busch and Palm each racking up six more points to their credit and DuMars kicking an extra point. Franklin's only threat was a sixty yard nm which was called back when the runner stepped out of bounds. OCTOBER 17—EUCKORY Defeat spoiled our homecoming as Hickory eked out an 18-0 verdict at our first home game. Although the boys fought hard they could not score. OCTOBER 24—MEADVILLE Our final journey took us to Mcadvillc where the boys suffered another defeat by the unbeaten Bulldogs. Again the Trojans failed to score and so came out on the short end, 21-0. NOVEMBER 1—SHARPSVILLE Our last home game was hard fought as the Penn High eleven lost the County Championship at the hands of undefeated Sharpsville to the score of 20-6 with Bill Palm making the lone score for the Trojans. As the final whistle blew it meant that it would be the last football game some of the boys would ever play for Penn High.

After several weeks of practicing, the Trojans started the '47-48 season with a bang as they defeated West Middlesex, 35-27, The second game proved not so easy as the Franklin team literally swept the Trojans off their feet to a score of 37-22, Midway in the initial quarter DuMars received a sprained ankle which laid him up for several weeks. Paced by the deadly accurate shooting of Penn Hi’s forward, Duard Reichard, who wound up with eighteen points, the Trojans trimmed Titusville, 37-18. Our game with Mcadville that started out to be dull turned into a thriller, and the score was tied three times in the fourth quarter. The Trojans managed to forge ahead, and when the final whistle blew, the score stood, 37-34, in our favor. The sharpshooting Mustangs from Mercer proved an all-around balanced club as they romped over the Trojans to the nine of 39-19. Displaying a most impressive scoring offensive against Grove City, the Penn Hi cagers, paced by Captain Red'' Riiey, who scored eighteen points, blazed away at the hooped nets with creditable accuracy to capture a scorching 43-31 triumph. The Trojans’ trip to Midland proved a disaster as they were defeated, 41-21. The boys stayed there all night and the next day saw an exciting hockey game. After holding a 7-4 lead at the end of the first half of the game with West Middlesex and maintaining the lead to the closing minutes of the game, the Snydcrmcn were defeated by a single basket, 29-27. Our ill luck in out of town games was continued as a fast-breaking, sharpshooting Oil City- cage quintet proved too tough for the Trojans and defeated them, 59-31. The story was repeated again as the Snydermen met the Sharpsville Blue Devils. Sharpsville had an easy time of it, winning 45-24. Getting back into form, the Penn Hi five then upset the favored Hickory team, 29-25. Christy broke the ice in the first minute and came up with eleven punts during the game thus capturing scoring honors for the evening. Winning this game put the Trojans on top in the Mercer County Class A run. Penn High's second game with Mercer ended in defeat, 49-36. The trip to Erie also proved a failure as the Erie East five whipped the Trojans, 50-38. Although the score was tied at the half, the Trojans could not keep up to their opponents' pace. The game with Midland here truly was a thriller. With only seconds remaining in the game and the score tied, DuMars was fouled. As he stepped to the foul line the crowd wa tense; he shot—it was good—victory 34-33! When Franklin came here, the Trojans avenged their earlier defeat by beating them. 52-43. Royal was high scorer with thirteen points. In the second encounter with Hickory, the Hornets staged a blazing sconng offense especially in the second half, and they trounced the Trojans, 53-30. The Trojans' next opponent was Sharpsville. After “Red Riley had tallied the game- tying field goal to make the count 34-34 with thirty-five seconds remaining in the game, the Trojans forced Sharpsville into an overtime period before succumbing, 43-37, to a whirlwind Sharpsville attack in the three minutes of the overtime period. Despite a second half rally that netted the Trojans twenty-six points, the Penn Hi five failed to overcome Grove City's eighteen point half-time lead. The final score in that gam. was 52-45. The last game of the season was started by the five graduating seniors: Bob Christy, Herh DuMars, Paul Pilgram, Dtiard Reichard, and Lloyd Riley. The game proved to be one of the best of the season. Riley, playing one of the best games of his career, scored from all over the floor and tallied twenty-five points. The Trojans held Meadvillc scoreless during the third quarter, and the final outcome was 55-24. Much of the success of the Trojans' basket- ball season is due to the expert direction and untiring effort of Mr. Snyder, the coach. Ready, Wrestle!

Mr. Berry kept his boys in shape and took them to Erie where they captured the District 10 Champ ionship. The boys who won at District and who were qualified to compete in the State Meet at Kingston were: Emmett, Marks, Gano, and Lenkner.

Because of frequent spring rains, the team did not have much practice before the season opened. Running up against tough competition proved to be too much for our team, and we came out on the short end of the wins. Nevertheless, the boys enjoyed the season and played hard in every game. The players in the Class of '48 arc: Roy Saylor, Lewis Eastlick, Frank Filer, Dale Busch, Bob Christy, Harpo Marks, Walter Gerdy, Roland Rowe, Duard Rcichard, and Herb DuMars. Junior Varsity Sports J-V FOOTBALL SEASONS RECORD GREENVILLE 6 FARRELL GREENVILLE 9 GROVE CITY GREENVILLE 6 TITUSVILLE GREENVILLE 6 GROVE CITY GREENVILLE FARRELL o 6 o o o Together with the varsity, the junior varsity went to football camp. They would warm up with the varsity and work out with them, and then go by themselves with Mr. Breckenridgc where he would run them through plays. When school started, they practiced every day down at Packard Park. In the first game here with Farrell, Junior Anderson returned a punt for a touchdown, but the con- version missed its mark. Both teams fought hard throughout the remainder of the game, but when the final whistle blew the score stood, 6-o. The Trojans' second game found them journeying to Grove City where they played a very good game. Mike Peterson was the player of the evening when he scored twice—once on a 6o-yard run. George Weld- on added another six points to clinch the game, 19-6. The Trojans then went to Titusville, determined to stretch their victories. Sam Gano intercepted a pass and scored for Greenville. The try for the extra point was no good, and the game ended, 6-0. The J-V’s were host to the Grove City team where both teams fought hard. Anderson went into pav- dirt for the Trojans. The last game of the season was with Farrell. The varsity’s season was over as well as Farrell's, so all the fellows who will be playing next year battled it out. Jim DeArmcnt blocked a punt which rolled into the end zone to make the score 2-0.

The J-V's won seven of their sixteen games and garnered within three points as many as their rivals who collected 481 to our 478. Mr. Snyder was their coach, and during the season several of the boys worked themselves up to posts on the first string varsity. Most of the boys who now play varsity ball at one time played on the junior varsity, and many fellows on this J-V team will later fill varsity positions. Intramural Sports BOYS' INTRAMURAL SPORTS As the second semester started, Mr. Berry began to work on the intramural sports program. First came the basketball games played by double eliminations. There were three groups—seventh and eighth grades, ninth and tenth, eleventh and twelfth. Each of these groups was made up of six home rooms. Within each group each team played one game. Then the three winning teams played each other, and the three losing teams played each other, then the winner of the winners and the winner of the losers played to determine the group champion. Next the group champion teams held a play-off to determine the school championship. After basketball came boxing. There were quite a few boys who ventured to get their noses piked in. The boys were put in different classes according to their weights, and they held a match to determine the winners in each class. As soon as the weather permitted, the outdoor spirts were started. Teams were chosen, and mushball got under way. This, like the other sports, was played to determine a champion team. Track was also a popular sport and there were winners in many different track events. At the end of the season, emblems were given to the boys who were on winning teams in the different sports and to individual winners. Both Mr. Berry, who directed all these events, and Alva Baker, the man- ager, deserve a lot of credit for the great amount of time they spent in the intramural sports program. GIRLS' INTRAMURAL SPORTS The intramural sports program for girls is carried ori under the direction of Miss Dons Egbert. Various sports make up this program—-mushball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and ping pong. For basketball, volleyball, and mushball, the girls are divided into teams, usually two teams from each grade. The teams within each grade then play, and the winner goes on to play the winners from the other grades. This elimination goes on until there is but one team left. This team has won from all the winning teams— those who have won one game at some time or other. In the meantime, another elimination has been going on—that of the losing teams which are the teams that lost the first game they played. It is carried on in the same manner as the other, with one team left in the end. Then the championship game is played. The last remaining team of the “winners’ bracket plays the last remaining team of the “losers' bracket. It is not an unusual thing for the team from the “losers' bracket to beat the team from the “winners’ bracket. In badminton and ping pong, the elimination is carried on differently. All the girls' names are placed on two separate charts. A girl will then challenge the person whose name is one or two places above hers to a game. If she wins, she may move her name to the place occupied by the name of the girl she challenged. If she loses, her name remains at the same place. The object is to get to the top. Finally, the girls who have reached the top of the charts stage a play-off to determine the champion. Girls who participate in die intramural sports cam points necessary for membership in G.A.A. On the other hand, G.A.A. members act as referees and score keepers for the various intramural events. Rah! RahI Rah! CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders graduating are Mildred Ashe and Gerry Stev- enson.

Hi-Y 1; Bible Study 2-3. Our Years In Penn High Wc shall never forget Penn High, for it has become synonymous in our minds with friendship. The spirit of Penn High has been developing in us since that first day we met as freshmen. Wc dashed franti- cally about the halls trying to keep everything straight, vet in our mutual confusion we had companionship. That year wc made new acquaintances and renewed old ones. Since for the first time we were able to choose the subjects we preferred, some took algebra and Latin, others science and general math. Wc had different classmates almost every period broadening our acquaintances. Wc were freshmen the year Greenville had the biggest blizzard anyone could remember. None of the buses were running, and many of us were snowed in for days. The ruts on the highways were so deep wc really had to stay “in the groove. The high point of our year, though, was the freshman class party we held April sixth. Wc all thought the entertainment was tops. Such famous singers as the Andrews Sisters (Mildred Ashe, Olivia Kohl- er, and Gerry Stevenson), Frank Sinatra (Frank Ferguson), and Bing Crosby (Bert Hollcran) graced the gymnasium. We were also honored by the presence of a fine orchestra featuring Harry James (Marshall Jennison) and a saxophone soloist (Richard Gaugh). Another big attraction was Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy (Bud Meeker and Nancy Booth). The music of some of these entertainers was played on a hidden phonograph, and this made the impersonations even more realistic. We had dancing and refreshments then, and the peak of the evening was reached when everyone joined in a conga line which danced through all the halls of Penn High. In our sophomore year, one of our diversions was watching the antics of Mexican jumping beans. As students of biology we initiated Miss Mocek into Penn High. The dissection of worms, frogs, and grass- hoppers attracted much attention. Some of us looked forward to dissection day eagerly while others felt squeamish at the thoughts of such operations. Our English classes were at times interrupted so that wc could see movies based on the classics, in eluding: “The Last of the Mohicans, As You Like It, and A Tale of Two Cities. The “Gay Nineties Revue,” written and directed by Mr. Colonna, offered another diversion and a chance for some of us to dis- play our musical and dramatic talents. These talents were also displayed in the hilarious mock wedding which high-lighted our sophomore class party.

When we became juniors, one of the first things we did was elect officers for the class: Don Aubel, president; Marshall Jcnmson, vice president; Gloria Krichbaum, secretary; Herb DuMars, treasurer. With the help of Miss Phyllis Egbert, our adviser, we ordered our class rings. To earn money for our treasury we sold Christmas cards and held a rummage sale. A new Penn Hi Points, printed anti with pictures, was being produced, and many members of our class were working hard on that. We became more interested in athletics too when some of our own classmates were outstanding. In advertising dances each club tried to outdo the others with names, and these got more and more fan- tastic. Fantastic also was the way two members of our class, Dominic Marks and Nancy Meeker, were hypno- tized by Mr. D. K. Ernst during a special assembly. THE PROM The junior class play, directed by Miss Doris Thompson, brought new interest into those lagging midwinter «lays. Life of the Party concerned a rather unpopular, bookish girl who longed to be beau- tiful and popular. The difficulties of the mother trying to get into high society and a brother who had three dates for the same party were very amusing. There wore many mix-ups, but finally everything was straight- ened out, and Jean did prove to be the life of the party. We started early our plans for the prom. Committees were assigned, and everyone got down to work. The night of the dance, expressions of delight were heard as guests saw the carefully contrived rock garden, fish pond (real fish, too), wishing well, and picket fences which created an outdoor atmosphere. The girls looked enchanting in their formals, and their beaming escorts whirled them to the music of Roger Carle’s orchestra. Happiness reigned throughout the evening leaving everyone with pleasant memories. We ha«l hardly recovered from the prom when another big dance was on the schedule—the traditional spring formal, sponsored by the Hi-Y. Then the final examinations were at hand, and a lot of last minute cramming took place. Finally, we received our report cards, and another year at Penn High was over. •BOYS ABOUT BOBETTE Robert Blaylock. Norman Johnson; June Blaylock. Juanita McWilliams; Bobette Bl.ivlock.

The summer passed quickly, and soon we were back for our last year of school. We belt! an election in 308 for class officers, and chosen were: Lawrence Pfaff, president; Dale Busch, vice president; Katherine Zarecky, secretary; Alva Baker, treasurer. Again Miss Phyllis Egbert was our class adviser to everyone’s joy. We decided to have the traditional magazine sale, which was a great success. We sold subscriptions amount- ing to $2424. Lawrence Pfaff was the best salesman among the boys, and Edith Shannon came through for the girls. They received Bulova wrist watches, and since we overreached the mark set, we all had an ice cream party in 308 with lollipops extra for the winning team whose captain was Gertrude Shreffler. The days whirled past as activities got under wav. A Pennerian staff was selected and started to work. Tryouts for the senior class plav were held and a cast of nineteen was selected by Mrs. John Rousseau. Rehearsals began immediately. The play, “Boys About Bobette, was the storv of a tomboy who loved to play football and did not care much about femininity. When another girl, however, attracted the attention of Bobette’s teammates with her charm, Bobette decided to change her ways. Persuaded that the best way to prove herself a lady was to enter a style show, she did so and walked off with the first prize. After this the boys realized that Bobette was not just a goal-kicker but an attractive girl. When we had our graduation pictures taken, we were reminded that we did not have much more time to spend in Penn High. All the activities leading up to graduation—exchanging pictures, being measur- ed for caps and gowns, ordering calling cards and announcements—these left a rather sad feeling. As the end of the year drew closer, activities became more hectic. Applications for college entrance had been sent in, and a few had tried their hands at scholarship tests. The prom, at which we were the guests of the juniors, our own farewell party—with these we realized that soon we would be scattered, each to go his own way. Then the great night came. Commencement! As we filed out, we knew that never again would we attend Penn High as a class.
