We are working hard Q and playing hard, keeping ourselves physically mentally and spiritually sound. We are accepting mature responsibilities and, faced with trying situations, are making vital decisions. ik We are basing our lives, our futures, and the destiny of pos- terity on the belief that, when the ultimate victory is ours, we shall build, for all peoples, a new world. The youth of all free lands is on the march, accepting each new challenge, Q unclaunted by temporary failures, united by the determination that with faith and courage we shall establish for all a better world of peace and brotherhood. jf? 5 3 TRQUBLED TIMES TQWARD AN EARLY .gn fke foffowing laaged of fke january, ffffanpfafff ,4 , P!f1!A!5l'L v :wigs V M y Ji Qi. ?k 5299 E If 14 x Y ...V ...,,,,.,,,.i,5r . .,... fi.

WE, TI-IE STUDENTS, ARE DCDING QUE This Fall, after we had said goodbye to our brothers and friends, and wiped the tears from our downcast faces, it was extremely diffi- cult to return to our business as usual attitude and to the studies which seemed so trivial. But what could we do? The Waves and Waacs wanted mature young women, not inexperienced students. We felt so useless. Then something snapped in our thoughts, and we began to reason that we were now the women behind the man behind the gun, and that there were innumerable tasks to perform which would, in some small way, help our boys who were cour- ageously fighting in far-off places which we had studied about in our geography courses. We unearthed little jobs which gradually be- came important activities. Uncle Sam gave us the opportunity to invest in his mammoth piggy bank by buying war stamps and bonds at booths stationed in various places throughout the school building. The drives we had for the sale of bonds and stamps soon initiated a steady stream of potential planes, tanks, and guns, which we knew were giving great discomfort to our enemies. And now, when Brother wrote home that he had had a tough time drilling that day, we knew, with an exhilarat- ing satisfaction, that our pennies had helped to buy those guns. We were another rung higher on the ladder of doing our bit. Then Philadelphia called for air-raid messengers to act as comple- ments for our magnificent Civilian Defense units. While our younger brothers and sisters lugged loads of scrap to the heaps at the street corner, we came to school with pockets jingling with precious keys. lt was a proud day when Dr. Hart announced that Girls' High had come out on top in the competition with other schools in the salvaging of small scrap. We were getting there now. Little by little, bit by bit, we were accomplishing something. Most of us joyously gave up that block of chocolate fudge ice cream at lunch time, and chipped in to buy soap, shoelaces, polish, playing cards, and other small necessities for soldiers' kits. Our eyes shone at those completed kits which were going to unknown parts of the earth as a material product of our effort. From Seattle to Tampa, we took our undramatic posts, not clothed in glamorous uniforms, but never was a group more determined to make its influence felt. Out of this zeal was born the Victory Corps, an organization comprised of the students of the United States who are engaged in at least one piece of war work. Though it is still an infant plan, it will steadily grow, inflamed with the spirit of a free youth. Now we feel that we are really fighting side by side with our brothers and friends, just as the pioneer women fought beside their men, bringing victory and peace closer. PART TGWARD A SUCCESSFUL END S UNDER THE GUIDANCE CE December 8, l942. My dear Girls: The enthusiasms, the courage, and the idealisms of youth have made history since the beginning of time. Moses was a young man when he was assigned to lead the children of lsrael. The great leaders of the Crusades were young. The minute men of '76 were scarcely more than boys, and in the Civil War both North and South leaned on their armies of very young men. ln the last decade the Totalitarian States have exploited the qualities which have made youth glorious. Young men and women have been caught by the glamour of Fascist and Nazi ideology. Today, at the end of the first year of this global war, we, too, are realizing that it is our youth who must stand in the front lines of the conflict. Our instinct is to shelter and to protect our boys and girls--often much against their wills. Today, however, we realize that it is hands off. With- out the power which lies in their youth, the world will be lost. We know only too well that girls, too, are in the fighting ranks, that your youth with its enthusiasms, its courage, and its high idealism must be placed on the altar of your country. You will go through to glorious victory and in the going, l believe, learn how to keep for the rest of your lives those qualities on which we are counting so deperately now.

Our girls are learning to lead in a democratic and tolerant atmosphere. We have discovered that While itzis necessary to study the theories of good government, naught is gained if these ideas are not put into practice and tested. Thus we can see Whether our ideas are practical and workable. Our miniature democracy has proven an example of the goal all mankind has been striving toward. lust as our government needs good leaders, so does it need good citizens who will carry out their responsibilities with an aptitude be- fitting an American student. Our Representa- tive Council introduces reforms and sugges- tions which the students feel are necessary for the betterment of our school. Our sturdy Lunchroom Lieutenants and patient Study-hall Captains and Aids enforce the rules of their departments. The Traffic Squad thrashes out the problems of all traffic in school and directs our busy, scurrying students. The Hostesses act as good-will ambassadors to all visitors and guests of the school. Courageous Locker Aids see to it that the gym locker rooms, filled with hale Americans, are kept in proper con- dition. Another selected group record the at- tendance of all the classes in the school. Thus we are learning to practice the execution of responsibilities and leadership which We shall undertake as future citizens of the United States and perhaps, in the future, of the United Nations.

The initiates take the following oath: We believe that our most sacred possession is our honor, and we would guard it so jeal- ously that no human being, through us, should suffer the slightest wrong, and that we, for no reward whatever, would accept an advantage that is not fairly ours. Especially we would be faithful to every trust that our own heart, or the confidence of others, reposes in us. We would be kind: helping our fellows with gracious acts and ready sympathy, and in love for them seeking their good above our own. We would be brave, strong to accept defeat, rebuke, mis- fortune, and to turn them into gain, always attempting, at least, the harder task and letting not one golden opportunity pass unchallenged. We would be wise, simple goodness, and devof tion to duty, and every grace of the spirit, We would set above any intellectual gain, however brilliant, and every mental attainment above all material things whatever, and we would give to what is noble and true our highest reverence. We here declare our purpose to dedicate our lives to this ideal forever. l2B's Phyllis Ariano Florence Camara Arlene Diehl Vivian Dompf Mary Faltermayer Esther Freed Ruth Fried Beatrice Ginsburg Betty Henshaw Mary l-linkson Elizabeth Kreier Nadia Lisovitch Grace Mellwig Miranda Nayowith Margaret Schmidt Paula Strobach Goler Teal Naomi Waldman Betty Young l2A's Doris Albright lane Barlow Charlotte Colgan Ruth Coulter Ruth Curtis Eve Friedman Emma lane Heldke Shirley l-leckheimer Virginia Hudson Gladys Husted Carol Kimbell Iessie Lynch Margaret Quinn Mary Sell Rita Sloane Virginia Spade Barbara Wiley Deena Zeitlin l l P.T Parents, Teachers, Daughters, all are com- bined in one association, which is doing more than its share in the sponsoring of school activi- ties. This group tends to bring the home and the parents closer to the school. The parents, students and teachers work together, bringing in all points of view. Each semester the P.T.D.A. has an outstand- ing event to increase the scholarship fund. This term they sponsored, along with the Alumnae Association, the Bally for Freedom. The entire group worked diligently to make the occasion a success. They accomplished their aim as only such sincere effort can do. There was dancing, refreshments, and entertainment, everything which goes into the making of a delightful affair. Although comparatively young, the P.T.D.A. has shown its true colors and has occomplished splendid results. The cooperative spirit of all its members is to be highly commended. We Wish them good luck throughout the coming years. From lelt to right: .D A. Records Committee Faculty Adviser: Miss Wilhelmi leanne Mayer, chm. Phyllis Bins, ass't. chm.

Thus said CliverTWen- dell Holmes, Who, though not a musician, realized the importance of music in the life of everyone. It is more than a hobby, or even a vocation, it is the only thing that can satisfy a certain hunger of the soul, as real a part of man's life as the games he plays as a child. The music clubs of Girls' High School have for a number of years offered the opportunity for the students to relax from their work and refresh their minds With song or symphony. Those of us who are leaving the orchestra or vocal groups this term are realizing how empty our lives will seem for many months after graduation, although our days may be busier than those of our school years. We are amazed that an activity with so much hard work at- tached to it should bring so much enjoyment. We have stumbled to school in what seemed the middle of the night for eight-fifteen re- hearsals, We have struggled with heavy, bulky instruments through great drifts of snow, We have sung of bright, sunny skies, while stu- diously avoiding looking at the Windows, through which could be seen a gray, driving rainy We havefdohe aft thweseffhingslfancfmofe, and loved every moment of it. We are proud of our music clubs, proud be- cause they have helped our school to win the music trophy so many times, and because they have proved that girls can Win a place for them- selves in the musical world. But sometimes We are silent and thoughtful, when We consider the responsibility of music in maintaining the mental and emotional equilibrium of the Amer- ican people in these bewildering and dis- heartening times. Those students Whom We are leaving behind to sing We Three on Move-up Day and play Pomp and Circumstancen at graduation are the ones who will carry on our duties to Poly- hymnia and Terpsichore. They will continue the ministry of music, perhaps through even more difficult times than these, but they will never fail in their task, because the tool they are using is an immortal art. Truly the human heart needs comforting now more than ever before, and music will do it, as it has so often in the past. THE FREE PRESS TCD SPREAD Four o'clock. Through the silent halls ot G. H.

THE WAR EFFORT AT Typewriting cmd Shorthand Classes This term the Fleisher Vocational School opened its Typing, Shorthand, and Comptometer courses to our twelfth grade students, and thus ensured to Philadelphia a potential force of future business workers to take their place in the offices of War-time America. From Monday through Thursday, from three to six in the after- noon, these girls have made their machines and pencils click-creating a rhythm as steady as the beat of marching feet. Twenty l2A stu- dents are attending classes here for the detail and tracing of blueprints and for training in sheet metal air-craft. Altogether there are one hundred and fifty students engaged in these victory courses. We are tremendously proud of these girls who have added this Work to their regular school routine. One hundred and ninety-three students have been engaged, also, Comptometry Red Cross Crcxh in part-time jobs at various department stores and business offices. Thus have Girls' High seniors made their small contribution to the great struggle for vic- tory of the United Nations, and proved that they are alive to the American tradition of self-sacrifice and of service. The Craft Club is another group which now does lunior Red Cross Work. Once a Week the girls get together and make useful articles for men in the armed forces. Their handiwork in- cludes writing paper decorated by hand, menu covers made of gay Christmas cards, checker- boards, and many other kinds of games. Such activity is as enjoyable as that formerly car- ried on by the girls, and has the added virtue of contributing to the War effort. At first the Red Cross activity was carried on by separate groups, but as the need for this GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL -11. Red Cross Work on Rally Day Settlement Club work increased the Service Club took over al- most all of it. Practically every club has been giving one day a Week to the common effort. The Callista Club girls are knitting squares for afghans. The science clubs alone have made and filled one hundred and seventy-five sewing' cases for soldiers' kits. They, too, have knitted, and they have made, as well, felt slippers and baby quilts. About seventy girls, mostly from the upper classes, go to settlements and hospitals to do their part in War work. ln the former, girls work after school one day a week from three to six or on Saturday morning for from three to four hours. Their aim is mainly to keep the children healthily occupied, and they achieve their purpose by teaching them games and by helping them with their handicraft. ln the hos- pitals, our older girls work as volunteers. ln Science Club doing Red Cross work Welfare Committee the Woman's Hospital they are practically nurses' aids, without benefit of certificate and uniform, however, and their duties have in- cluded carrying trays, cleaning beds when patients leave, distributing linen, making out feeding charts, and Waiting on patients. Most of the hospitals, though, need girls to do such clerical work as writing up case histories, and filing. With the general shortage of nurses these modern angels of mercy have tried humbly to follow in the footsteps of Florence Nightingale, who so magnificently proved to a War-Worn World of yesterday what feminine service could be rendered in time of emergency. A Welfare Representative Works Within each section in the school and makes collections of money for relief work and other wartime de- mands. F IRST ATD First aid classes have been extremely popular over the entire country, and the jokes and car- toons about them have been many. But se- riously, the belief is universal that in these troublous times knowledge of First Aid is really essential. lt is Well to be ready for any emer- gency, Whether it is a tire, an automobile acci- dent or an air raid. ln our school, all of the l2A classes have taken the course this term and have received their Red Cross certiticatcsg the l2B's have theirs from the previous term. The girls could hardly wait for the end ot school so that they could go to First Aid. At the ringing ot the 2:30 bell, they'd run down the halls, with slacks, books and bandages flying. Soon all was a-dither in the Red Cross class. Some girls were search- ing tor pressure points, and occasionally you could hear a stitled giggle when someone missed. Others were making head bandages, almost as chic as Lily Dache creations. But all joking aside, the First Aid classes have been tilled with Willing Workers, and are proving a contribution to our War effort. These courses are given under the direction of Miss Bullman, Miss Davis, Miss Dilks, Miss Dungan, Mrs. Kaschenbach, Miss Margerum and Miss Myers. l l BIBLE STUDY A WORLD WITI-IGUT RELIGION IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY With Marilyn Kiewel as president, Marie Kruger as vice-president, and lessie Klosterman as secretary, the Bible Club of Girls' High has just ended another worthwhile term. The meetings have been held at l72l Spring Garden Street, home of the Philadelphia School of the Bible, where on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month a lesson has been taught by Mrs. Clarence E. Mason, member of the faculty. The girls have learned much in their study of the Bible text, and have come, as well, to the larger realization that during a war even more than during peace-time people hungrily turn to religion for the spiritual comfort their souls need. When fathers and brothers and husbands are far away risking their lives in battle, those at home need the assurance of a faith in God. U N CLE SA M W ix K? 28 4 IV is US' -ffff I X X X HEALTHY- Airttil CAPTAIN BALL Captain Ball is a game which is very exciting, yet very easy to learn. The juniors play this game in the gym or on the roof. There is a tournament in which the ad- visory sections compete. After the sectional games there is a play-off to determine the champions. The sponsor of the club is Miss Margerum. BASKETBALL Many of the girls enjoy the thrill of basketball, with its speed and excitement. Plenty of physical stamina, strong arms, good eyes, and an inborn sense of timing - --and presto, there is the good player. Mrs. Chalikian sponsors the lower school games and Miss Myers the upper school. SWIMMING Though at this time of year the very mention of swimming sends chills over many, we do have girls who swim. ln fact, this club is very popular. lt is one group that engages in outside competition, and we may well be proud of the trophies won. Members meet at the Y,Vv'.C,A, on Mcndays under Mrs. Chalikian, LEADERS ln Leaders Club the girls of the Lower School learn to help gym teachers during classes, The girls are taught -exercises and apparatus work. Anyone attending the club :or a certain length of time is given a letter which she may wear on her gym suit for the term. Mrs. Oglesby is the sponsor. HOCKEY Hockey has often been compared with football, and it is just as exciting. The club not only plays games, but also goes to watch college teams and club teams play. Par- ticipation in this sport is worthwhile now, and later will be helpful at college. Our club has met at the field on Tuesday afternoons, with Miss Margerum as sponsor. MILITARY GYM The purpose is to give to the girls experience in such leadership as they will exercise upon becoming Waacs and Waves. Through a cooperative procedure each girl is trained to take charge of the group and to give military directions. Special drill and obstacle races promote strength, endurance, and agility. BOWLING At last a bowling club has been organized, open to all girls in the schooll The playing is done at the Glenwood Bowling Alleys on North Broad Street. The girls have been taught by instructors and by members of bowling teams, under such guidance they hope soon to become expert bowlers. Miss Margerum is our sponsor. NEWCOMB The game, Newcomb, has just been introduced to Girls' High this term. lt is very similar to volley-ball because it, too, is played over a net. The freshmen have had excit- ing games in the gym on Wednesdays. Mrs, Oglesby, new to Girls' High, is our sponsor. uv., -M ,gt V l-HKE AND CAMPFIRE Toting our hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips, and everything else imaginable, We trudged our Weary Way on the bright, sunny day of September twenty-fourth. Arriving at our field, We all headed toward the pile of Wood, just to hear Miss Davis roar, Get out of my wood pile! To our rescue came the truck filled with bricks and wood for our little fire-places. As We cooked our suppers over the feeble fires, we were entertained by recitations from our girls and by recordings boomed out by the amplifying truck. Eating our hot dogs, all mixed With a bit of dirt and smoke, We sniffed the pleasant aroma of steak and onions drifting to our nostrils. Oh, to be a member of the Faculty, just for today! To quench our growing thirst, We tramped down to Where the pop was being sold, only to find that too many others had had the same idea. We thus had to settle for a good drink of l-LO. We danced and sang our songs until we were weary. Then, putting out our fires and collect- ing our belongings, a happy group retired, re- gretting that campfire comes but once a year. MATHEMATICS Mathematics has become one of the most important subjects at G. H. S. this year. Since girls ex- pect to participate in various war activities and to hold defense posi- tions, they must be equipped with an excellent mathematical educa- tion and a high degree of accu- racy. After a screening test was given, it was realized that most girls were rusty in their mathematics. To offset the deficiency refresher classes were established. These are held once a week. A general review of all math, starting with elementary arithmetic, is given by Miss Wood. Girls who cannot at- tend the refresher class are invited to cover the same Work during their study periods. Aviation Club X Y Z Q E D Refresher Math Another result of the War is the increased number of girls inter- ested in aviation. A number of these, under the supervision of Mrs. lftfilderman, have formed the Aviation Club, in which they learn the principles of flying and the ap- plication of mathematics to it. The XYZ Club, to which all G. H. S. students are eligible, is functioning as usual this year un- der Miss Cwen's sponsorship. The aim is to apply algebra to the war. Members of the QED Club, girls interested in geometry, are linking geometry to the war effort. Miss Clark, sponsor of the group, leads discussions on the application of mathematics to aviation and navi- gation. Saturday, November fourteenth, Will he re- membered as Rally for Freedom day. The co- operative spirit of the various groups was typical of our friendly American atmosphere. Visitors had an opportunity to contribute to the Red Cross relief and to the scholarship fund, which sends one of our students to college. The decorated tables in the corridors pre- RALLY FUR sented for sale an attractive display of vari- ous articles. Dancing or playing cards offered diversion for some, The lunchroom and the snackshop Were invitingly decorated and were Well patronized. Down in the Senior-Alumnae room Know the Red Cross rooml the workers, were an example of the grand cooperation among students, parents, alumnae and faculty, as they filled kits for soldiers. FREEDOM In the auditorium, a program was presented showing the growth of American youth. Our orchestra and vocal ensemble classes illus- trated our cultural growth. The play, People With Light Coming Out of Them, brought to light the feeling of comradeship and helpful- ness with which true freedom-loving people identify themselves. The tableau, America at Play, showed very effectively the physical growth of our students. Poses were presented of Red Cross work, tennis, golf, hockey, floor work, swimming, dancing-ending with a massed tableau of all, striving eagerly onward. After the Rally had ended, a spirit hung over us of pride in our accomplishments-pride in. our youthfin our freedom-in our country.

We didn't ask the way to the lunchroom-oh, no. We were even afraid to bother those lordly creatures, the Seniors, with our questions. We just wandered around 'til we found what we wanted, and if we missed half our lunch period, well, that was just too bad. In QB we were beginning to get accustomed to the school. We didn't get lost more than twice a week, and then only when going to unimportant things like Latin or Algebra. Step right this way, folks, and see me on the boat trip. What a grand time we had! But that wasn't all in that wonderful lOA term, when we were no longer in perpetual fear, but before the days of term reports for Social or Senior Essays. We had a memorable Get- Acquainted party. We met new friends and renewed old acquaintances, But even then, all was not on the brighter side. We had Caesar and Biology to worry us. Maybe we shouldn't admit that we were worriedg it might not be so good to show to our grandchildren fhopeful, aren't we?l. A grand term was topped off by our first Move-up Day. lt was a really special occa- sion, since it was the school's first. lust think, we actually started one of those traditions Girls' High is famous for. Glory, glory, hallelujah! For we are luniors now! This was a momentous terme-our first in Upper School. Trouble was brewing, but school was much as usual. We had our first Gym Contestkwell, what if we did come in last? We all enjoyed it, and we'll never forget Claudia Roper as Hiawatha. Wah, tah ho, tah ho! And we all turned out full force for the Frolic. All those men! We must go back to the old school routine, And every student knows what that will mean. ln llB it meant more chemistry, American history, and Cicero. lt also meant December 7th. War! Our studies had more significance WARTIME SENICR than ever before. But our fun went on, We still had the many Christmas activities, includ- ing the play, Why the Chimes Bang. ln the dramatic line, our leading lady, or rather lead- ing man, was Phyllis Ariano, with Whom We must evermore associate leanne d'Arc. Spring rolled around again, and We were on the lookout, for the term culminated in the Frolic. We not only had to Worry about a man fsee the Selective Service Board! They'll tell you what one is if you haven't seen one lately, - -as who has?l, but tires and gas were Cstill arel hard to come by. Before that, though, was an event that topped all others in our history. WE WON THE GYM CCNTEST. lt really de- serves caps, and so do the girls on our super- duper team. Behind the fun and play, there was a really serious purpose. Under the guidance of Dr. Hoffsten, the class pulled together as a unit, and we feel that We accomplished Worthwhile things. Air-raid messengering, working at CCD headquarters, helping in hospitals, We all did our part. To say nothing of Macbeth, who will remain in our memories with Maurice Evanss characterization. Burke, the traditional nightmare, was still there. Well, maybe it wasn't that bad. Then, Move-up Day again, and . . . HWBBE SENIOBSV' What a great deal that meant. Senior alge- bra, physics, social, all more important than ever. The largest solid geometry class for years. But still Hamlet and Emerson. We worked more intensely out of school--efor settle- ments, farms, and the Victory Corps. Not to mention that little item, the senior essay. A Christmas holiday as a mailgirl Cis there such a word? or a clerk in the department stores. Our last Move-up Day, and another class taking our place. Then, with a deep feeling of grati- tude and appreciation for all that Dr. l-loffsten has done for us, -graduation. And so, out into the world. We're sorry to leave, for We've loved it all, the fun and the work both. And now, farewell. 5,5 l V 3 A- Q saifila A agfgmglm- f if- x gmsmgiigg C I V f Gig!
