The paper contains an editorial, features, personalities, news briefs, sports, information about men In Service, gossip column, exchange Items, club and alumni news. Contributions are written by members of the staff under the supervision of the editor, Eleanor Ashbaugh. Copies of eacn edition are sent to the alumni In the Armed Forces. Frequent messages of appreciation are received by the staff. One pride of the club Is Its contribution of a printing press to the school. In addition to printing the paper, the press has been used for the printing of various materials, such as programs, tickets, and excuses. The organization has also undertaken the project of keeping a correct record of the addresses of the alumni In Service. Reflections from the Blue and White Mirror Several students have entered our school. The first three are bashful Freshles who won’t say anything about themselves. They are James Oldman, whose father Is a minister; and Alfred Ingram and Robert Boyd, two football fans who we hope will back our team closer to victory. Florence Jones 18 a newcomer to the seventh grade; Lois Burr, formerly from Jeannette, has been an addition to the eighth grade. Jane Ann Fisher, grade 8, sang over station KDKA, September 26, on the Starlets on Parade program. Is this another Instance of war creating fashions? Of course It Isn't. Wearing their dresses Inside out, a dog collar around their necks, a ribbon on each of their many pigtails, and carrying a baby doll were merely a part of the Initiation of the new members of the Trl-Hl-Y. Kenneth Brentzel, one of our ambitious Seniors, has enlisted In the Cadets. He Is still attending school while awaiting call. P.S. We hope he doesn't leave until after Commencement. Priority on senior boys is serious already. We've had a similar experience: My typlst s away on wacatlon Ml pytlstjs avay bg the sea; She left me to du alz the typlgg-0 brine back ml typlxt to me..

Martz The Band was organized In 193 » by I 8 present director, Mr. Olmes. In order to purchase their uniforms and music, the members displayed their talents In a minstrel show and held numerous skating parties. Before the War, this organization was quite active and accompanied the football players to every game. Through pouring rain, blinding snow, howling wind, scorching sun, or sloppy mud, the Band marched on and performed its clever drills between halves. Many of these demonstrations were planned by Mr. Olmes. Appropriate music accompanied each formation, such as the ■Alma Mater for P.T.H.S.; a patriotic song, God Bless America , for U.S.A.; and The Volga Boatman , for U.S.8.R. Drills were presented with Merry-Go-Round , Ring Around the Roses , and others. Other activities Included participation In community parades for which they were awarded prizes. They also took part In patriotic programs, such as the American Legion and the Dedicatory Services. Their presentations In assemblies never fall to make the students sit up and listen, Usually there Is a portion of the program In which the audience may Join In the entertainment. Two programs were given this year. The first one, given In December, Included the following numbers: ■Military Escort , Over There , Non Bolero , Chlrlblrlbln , a solo by Clifford Felmlee, ■Invercargill , and The Whistler and His Dog . The latter was directed by the student conductor, Elizabeth Greer. Being also quite talented In bringing forth many catchy tunes on her trumpet, Elizabeth Is frequently asked to play popular as well as classical music. Two other senior members departing from this organization are Alvin Neal, the fine bass drummer, who sets the tempo for the band’s marching and maneuvers, and John Amour, faithful trombonist, who has always been on hand for the band's affairs. Adding an extra touch of beauty to the paraders In blue and white are the five high-stepping majorettes. To see them marching through their paces with heads high and chins up gives the student spectators a feeling of pride. Twirling their shining batons Is another of the majorette skills which deserves high commendation. Hilda Deguffroy, Mildred Lauffer, and Mary Ann Ferenc are the Seniors who leave their honored positions to three outstanding successors. The officers of the Band, one of the most active organizations of the school, are: president, Alvin Neal; secretary-treasurer, Mabel Jean Greer. Majorettes 1U- Our Trumpeteer

Raymaley Director: Mr. Kunkle The end of this term marks the successful completion of the fourth year of the A Cappella Chorus. Its membership consists of sixty students. In addition to the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass sections, It now has the alto-tenor group which Is composed of low alto voices. Throughout the year, this organization has made Its appearance several times In chapel programs. An operetta, Words and Music , which depicted a typical scene at Barton College, was given In May. This particular school, which has a professional staff more classical than modern In 118 tendencies, Is composed of select young people. One of Barton's traditions Is an annual operetta, but It so happened that this year Miss Berryless, Head of the Dramatic Art Department, Is Indisposed with a case of measles. The problem Is tackled by two of the most serious-minded professors, Anataslus Longword and 8amanthla Hlghnote. Anataslus Longword, whose whole life Is thrown Into Shakespeare's work, decides to write the story and lyrics. Samanthia Hlghnote, who Is acquainted with no music more modern than Bach, undertakes to compose the music. Pretending to send the material to a friend in New York who will modernize the operetta, the professors' secretaries secretly rewrite it themselves. The two professors do not see It until they are called upon to read the script before the trustees and faculty, who are quite amazed at the hotsy-totsy effect of the operetta. However, the decision of President Fussbutton and the committee bring the show to a happy ending. The cast included: Fernando Fussbutton, president of Barton College, James Brewer; Saman- thla Hlghnote, dean of women, Elsie Ross; Mary Allen, her secretary, Jean Fink; Anataslus Longword, dean of men. Thorns.s Harris; John Warren, his secretary, Donald Turchan; Washington, darky handyman, John Klnkela. The audience enthusiastically received the operetta which was directed by Mr. Kunkle, with Miss Riggs In charge of dramatics . For participation in various chorus activities, the senior members were presented with pins. Those who received them were Jean Fink, Ella Mae Stout, Delma Delbler, Elsie Ross, Louise Fennell, Beulah Shirley, and James Amour. The last four named are the officers. 16 Before Practice Senior Chorus Members
