Through our formative years of high school life, she has' worked ceaselessly for our progress. With her at the helm, our school ship has weathered such unusual situations as rationing, post office work, and camp, Her kind patience and warm friendly attitude have helped us even in the most trying situations. Of herself she has given willingly, unsellishly, and wholly to youth and its ideals. The many tasks she has undertaken in our behalf were performed with an understanding and love for us and the age which we represent. She has instilled in each of us a reverence for honor, a love of duty, and a devotion to democracy. Her guidance has taught us cooperation and tolerance in our social relationships, We know that she is in great measure responsible for the success we have attained here and for whatever accomplishments we continue to gain in the future. To Dr. Olive Ely Hart because of all she has given us, we, the class of January, 1944, dedicate this, our Milestone. 6 . ,. , , ,Q 4 . ,, .-1. if H rm , X, gig Assistant Spatial Assistant Adviser of to Principal to Principal Student Government :. -..W .-.... ..-,-- -w Mary A.

During three memorable years, you have led us in all sorts of experi- ences, always working hard and achieving success. Under your leadership, these have been happy, prohtable years for us. We have passed through elections, move- up days, and gracluations at which we were only spectators. Now that the one in which we play the title role approaches, we want you to know that all your endeavors were not in vain. We know the cost of our enjoyment in your time and effort, and though this seems meager remuneration, we thank you with all our hearts. A Please tell all the other officers that no matter what size part they played, they did well, and we appreciate it. They too have relinquished personal pleasures for the sake of class welfare, and we will not forget their sacrifices. To all of them and especially to you go our heartfelt wishes for a successful future. You have all shown your merit in the positions of responsibility held here. You have been grand officers. We'll always remember you. THE 12B CLASS 12 'W 'T GLORIA ANDERSON june 16 550 N.

Throughout our last year at G.H.S., Dr. Hoffsten was always there to solve our prob- lems and to set us on the right road ahead, She was more than just a Senior Class Sponsor. She was a true friend who understood our troubles and overlooked our shortcomings. In 12A she cheered as one of us for the glory of the Blue. In 12B she was the guiding light of our Senior Prom. Dr. Hoffsten never failed her responsibilities, and made certain we never failed ours. To her we give credit for guiding us safely to our port of embarkation.

When we at long last found the Quaker City Bus Terminal, Phyllis and Jeanne, and Miss Dungan, we em- barked. So did the rain. We made one stop, and finally we HIT Camp Munsee. We greeted Mr, May, Miss Myers, Mrs. Craw- ford, and Munsee the dog. There was a mad scram- ble to discover under whose orders we would eat for the week. Then we made a beeline for the proper table. The chef said that he didn't think we'd eat as much as the boys who came to camp, but we did! We went to get the packages the post- man brought and our suitcases that arrived on a truckf Pj. Then We began bunking. Just like wom- en, we moved all the furniture around. Out came the little homey touches like flowers, candy, and pictures of Bill. After our clothes were scattered around in sufficiently artistic style, we explored the Wigwam Qthat's Indian for recreatiofz ballj. Then came mess again by courtesy of Gloria's bugle. At night, we had an indoor track meet, we divided ourselves into two teams, each under a class presi- dent. It's surprising how tired you,can get throw- ing cards into a hat, taking matches from the top of a bottle, and bouncing balls into baskets, Here we first appreciated Laura Gamper's aid. Then we had our first Taps and run to the bunks in the dark. That night was an adventure. You try an Alaskan winter in the Poconos' with two thin blankets and dimity pajamas! After reveille and washing in the trough, we established our routine. The sight of newly-raised flags was a strange accompaniment to our setting-up exercises, After third helpings at breakfast, we sang and sang. The morning schedule included in- spection, classes fsilly thoughtj, senior rehearsals, hikes and swimming, if the weather permitted. We thought the nights were cold until we got into the water. What a revelation seeing both students and faculty in bathing-suits! The hikes were of the Nlunsee Silver Lake, Fire Tower, and Childs Forest Park variety. The result was always salamanders, Then that important milestone-lunch. During the after- noon, we wrote and received letters, played games and learned boating, after a fashion. When dinner was signalled and trays loaded, we consumed raven- ously and sang likewise. Our evening activities were quite varied. There was an evening of nature slides' and a barn dance with hddlers, pork chops, and 'fhamsf' We shall never forget Miss Goll's production of jack and jill. The costumes which adorned the cast were exquisite to say the least. We never realized that Barbara Kolb was a mimic. The Prima Donnas were most charming in their renditions of the master- piece. One evening we ate by the waterfront and played hide and seek with the teachers. Each teacher received a plus and minus value, but we didn't know who was what. We returned them all except Mrs. Chalikian who was up a tree. Before we knew it, we were greeting Dr. Hart, Miss Boyle, and Dr, Michener on that Friday of etiquette lectures and bunk performances. We offi- cially greeted the guests at dinner. The floor show consisted of our entire routine of the week. The finale was the only new musical number, our own rendition of You'll Never Know, dedicated to our host of the week, Dr. Michener. When all the lollipops were devoured, we left a real mess hall. At last, Bunk Night! Mrs. Chalikian Whimple was our m.c. We witnessed two mello-dramas and two Romeof and flzliefr. We heard the Camp Mun- see version of singing song titles, We were shown how we looked before going to bed. The She-wolf was the cutest thing ever! Kamatalack gave scenes in the lives of Chlorine Muscles' and Katrinka Square-Root. Finally came the answer to THE question, Who stole the bug-gle ? judge Mathew- son tried to convict Dr. Michener, Miss Boyle, and everyone else. However, the jury declared Dr, Hart unconditionally guilty. There was a mild riot while the teachers gave their skit f????j and the judges' conferred. Bunk Two literally raised the roof when they found they had won. Our last day at Camp was filled with the hustle of packing and the bustle of cleaning up. Not one hairpin was left. Another bus ride, two trains fone with Standing Room Onlyj, and we were back in Philadelphia, Our vocabulary is too limited to express our true feelings. ' With wonderful memories, MRS.

Sponsors Guardian angels and connecting links -these are old phrases describing student sponsors, for they are the girls who help their younger sisters through the dark maze of geometry and the intricacies of algebra. They are the ones who forward the school drives, and who talk over, with the girls under their leader- ship, little problems that occur in every student's life. They are friends, and advisors, big sisters, and spreaders of general good will. Every term, sponsors are elected from the 12B class for each section in grades 9 to 11. The presidents of the 12A and 12B sponsor their respective classes. The sponsors must rate high scholastically, have a genuine interest in schoolmates, and be able to give much time and thought to their important re- sponsibility. They write monthly letters to Dr. Hart, and meet with her on alter- nate Mondays to discuss problems and to gain advice in handling situations. In addition, they attend class meetings' and help the girls to develop more friendships among their own classmates. They keep in close touch with Aides through notes written and answered on the Representative Council blanks. This term, they also inaugurated a 9A Get-together party, and helped to sell tickets for Shangri-La. What would we do Without them, these genial girls who help us over the hurdles of school life? We will think of them always as true friends and the memory of their unsellish service will stay with us as part of The intangible spirit of the Philadelphia High School for Girls. 40 No.2 in pirfuref Doris Fitts, Gloria Friell. 4 1 w 1 A V I E Q Y ? 1 E I 1 ? Hur llwn llemocraci Cooperation, order, and precision are the key- notes of our student government, It is here that we learn the true meaning of traditions of honor, self-control, and service to others fostered by our school. It is under the leadership of the School Service Club that we also realize and translate into daily action the fullest meanings of coopera- tion and tolerance which are so vital to the smooth functioning of a governing body, Our two principal governing bodies are the Ex- ecutive Council and the Representative Council, which correspond to the executive and legislative branches of our national government. The Execu- tive Council is under the leadership of our school -president. This branch has the power to organize our school calendar, amend our point system, and permit the formation of new clubs and activities. It also has control of the Service Club Store where school supplies are sold. Representative Council, under the chairmanship of the vice-president, con- sists of aides, assistant aides, and student and fac- ulty sponsors. The function of this body is to dis- cus and settle immediate problems of the school. The Trfiiac Squad is an important factor in Lur school life.

Added to the functions of our great governing body is the task of sending cards' and flowers to ill students. Frolic and Christmas activities are also sponsored by our law-making and executive bodies. Thus a miniature democracy functions.

That something is music, an art which can never die. The music clubs of Girls' High have for a num- ber of years offered the opportunity for students to relax from their daily work and to forget the trials and tribulations of their everyday worlds. Girls have been able to gain poise and confidence by taking advantage of these marvelous opportuni- ties. They have also, through the exercise of their musical talents, brought unending joy to their classmates and teachers. . No one who has witnessed the scene can forget the girls trudging to school, early in the damp, dark morning, with bulky books and weighty in- struments under their arms. Those rehearsals were worthwhile. The best proof of that is the look of appreciation on the face of the audiences at par- GLEE CLUB lhere ents' meetings, Senior Day assemblies, and Sophro- syne initiations. When the needle-like rain of the outdoors denied Girls' High the sun, the bright music of the orchestra brought rays of melody into the hearts of the students. Treble Clef! What magic that name holds! It makes the collective chest of G. H. S. swell with pride and sense of achievement. Treble Clef is a major factor in our winning the Music Trophy so many years. We mustn't forget the hours of time the prima donnas of the school have given so freely to rehearsals. Many were their early morn- ing pilgrimages to school. The band has always made the Hike and Camp- Hre a roaring success, something definitely to be remembered, This year was no exception, The tal- ented girls of the band, wearing yellow and White, marching in formation, were a thrilling sight to see. Their popularity this term was furthered when they surprised the hoboes, pirates, and jack o' lan- terns at the Hallowe'en Party with their renditions of congas, waltzes, and boogie-Woogie. The unani- TREBLE CLEF shall he Music mous utterance of the entire student body was, Thanks! We don't know what we'd do without you. Students who have participated in such musical activities as the Victrola Club and the Glee Club have been delighted with the hours of relaxation they have experienced listening to and singing the selections of the great composers of the past and present. The final conp of the Music Department to the delighted hearts of'Girls High was the magnificent presentation of Sharzgri-La. The lyrics by Dr. Hart and the music by Miss Weir were beautifully in- terpreted by the members of the musical organi- zations. This charming medley brought My H ea1't'J in cl jeep in Africa to the number one spot on the Girls' High hit parade. The members of the music clubs and the stu- dent body wish to thank Miss Dorothy S. Weir and Miss Marguerite Goll for their kind patience and indulgence. Without the leadership of these two most charming musicians, none of the afore- At right: ORCHESTRA Below: BAND Lower right: BRASS GROUP O O ' U mentioned would have been so Hne or inspiring. Music is a vital part of life at G. I-I. S. This wartime year, music has not been neglected. In- deed, it has been emphasized and made more beau- tiful and effective, The culture which music brings us shall never be neglected at Girls' High.

This organization exists primarily to stimulate the interest of the parents in the school activities of their daughters. It is composed of the Executive Board of Gover nors, consisting of parents and teachers, and a junior Board, composed entirely of students The latter, under the sponsorship of Miss Wilhelmi, conducts the publicity campaign and membership drive. The P.T.D.A. helps to raise money for scholarships and gives financial support when needed. They help to provide musical instruments and they are responsible for the medals awarded to the members of our instrumental and vocal groups. Membership in this organr zation affords certain privileges, such as free admission to our annual gym contest and to other entertainments. ' Within this association, the Mothers' Club has developed, It has given a great deal of assistance, especially in supporting school projects and in making costumes for various occasions.

Chapter of the National Honor Society, was founded with the two-fold purpose of honoring outstanding students and recommending ideals of character and condu.ct to the entire student body. Selections are made from the 12A and 12B classes by the members of the faculty and senior classes for distinction in character, leadership, and service. At a solemn, impressive ceremony, the initiates pledge themselves to follow the ideals embodied in the following oath: . We believe that our most sacred possession is our honor, and we would guard it so jealously 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, misfortune, 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 devotion to duty, and every grace of the spirit, we would set above any intellectual gain, however brilliant, and every mental attainment above all mate- rial things whateverg 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. When all initiates have grasped the torch, they receive the charge: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. lPl9ilippia12J 4:8.

The medley was written by Dr. Olive Ely Hart, and the music for the lyrics' by Miss Dorothy S. Weir. The vocal groups under the direction of Miss Marguerite Goll formed the chorus. The male parts were taken by boys from the Central High School. The roles were of cowboys, sailors, dancers, and other service men. Martin Binder had the leading role of Paul, opposite Virginia Fraser, who played Mfzrria. The girls' roles' were of British Service Women, Puritans, Clipper Maids, Waves, Wacs, Spars, Marines, Welders, Farmers, and Red Cross Nurses, and dancers. Song hits, modern dancing, and colorful costumes made a brilliant success of the affair. Among the songs were My I-Ieart's in a jeep in Africa, Till the War ls Done, and Love in the Springtime. The ringing cowboys were: Albert Mayer, Melvin Freiburg, Austin Culmer, Williain Miller, William Steerman, james Wilson. john Paskolf, Alvin Freiburg, Milton Pevner, Sidney Wallace, Ro- land Greenspan, james Wybar, and Todd Hutchison. Among Ike dmicers were: The Puritans: Virginia Diehl, Betty Jane Pratt, Mary Jane Murphy, Margaret Bomba, Jeanne Campe, Marion Blumenstein. . I ,Z , X FV- I ' E fx-7 X N t2 c ,W S UN 'r A . W A .

I I i The Victory Corps, originated by Captain Eddie Rickenbacher for high schools, is one of the dominant influences at Girls' High. It is a nation-wide organization to enable the youth of America to do their share in bringing victory and peace closer to a war-torn world. Under the capable leadership of Rita Kramer, the Victory Corps gathers' strength with each undertaking, All that is required for mem- bership in the Victory Corps is participation in at least one piece of war work. The sale of bonds and stamps at our school is a daily recurrence. Instead of seeing the latest movie or drinking that double cherry coke, many of our number buy stamps or donate to the United War Chest and the Red Cross. Campaigns for the salvage of scrap metal and for the collection of scrap paper and clothing for the Allied Nations brought good results. Although our girls cannot donate blood themselves, they have not been lax in their efforts to recruit blood donors' for the precious plasma which can save the life of a wounded service man, Extra-curricular classes under the sponsorship of Mrs. Avis have been carried on for a year. At the Fleisher Vocational School, typing, g Goldenberg. 56 ictur Corps shorthand, and comptometry classes are in session every afternoon from three to six o'clock. This term, a course in Science Engineering Man- agement has been offered for seniors at the Drexel Institute. Detail and the tracing of blue prints and training in sheet metal work are also offered as a war course. Almost every club in the school is engaged in some war activity, such as knitting squares and filling kits for soldiers. Settlement work is carried on with concentrated effort now that many more children are necessarily left by their mothers. More girls have answered the plea for assistance in hospitals. These girls receive no diplomas or certificates for service, but they volunteer to carry trays, to make beds, and to wait on patients. A Welfare Representative from each section makes collections for relief work. The students have attacked their tasks with determination and firm- ness of purpose, although this work is in addition to regular school work. They know that vigilance is truly the eternal price of liberty. HOME NURSING FIRST AID JUNIOR RED CROSS SCIENCE RED CROSS i 57 QM. 'X .1 -, - W -1-1 x v :- B QQ x n 5 mmf f 1 . '7 ' . -. , T' ,.

Those who served in the capacity of volunteers worked as nurses' aides in hospitals, carrying trays, making beds, filing charts, and doing other useful jobs. In addition there were many who acted as spon- sors at settlement houses or at playgrounds, caring for children while their parents were at work. The list of activities for which they were paid is even more varied. Many girls found enjoyment in helping farmers plant or harvest their crops, Several worked for Uncle Sam directly by filing charts for the Board of Health or by working at the Signal Corps. A few acted as counselors or swimming instructors at camps. Still another group remained in the city to help in the department stores as salesgirls. l 'B I 1 f --Z gl xi' V 4 ... 4 1 X -x lf x J t I F L g AW,,,f gg!

The corn- petition with other schools' lends excitement to the game. HOCKEY-Once a week out at the held, and several times a week up on the roof, our girls are playing hockey. The game is popular because it is so invigorating. In hockey, too, G. H. S. is active interscholastically. TENNIS-Ever one at Girls' Hi h is iven the chance to learn the intricacies of the Y l 8 8 . , very popular game of tennis. We learn to wield a tennis racquet, to keep score, and to play on regulation tennis courts. The competition in tournaments is close, SWIMMING-The swimming club welcomes everyone to come and splash with ' them at the The girls learn lifesaving as well as all the strokes in swimming. Every term various schools send teams to compete in a Playday at the pool. During each semester, class teams' hold their own competitions. DANCING-There are various dancing clubs at G. H.

There were con- BARN DANCE IN THE GYM FUNNIEST: fleft to rightj Shirley Sutton, second prizeg Virginia Miller, Geraldine Nash, first prize, Anne Trenchard, third prize. tests for Susie Q, Lambeth Walk, Trucking, and other dances. Miss Myers' idea to decorate girls who did the dances well, with buttons, resulted in a number of prize winners, It became a case of button, button, there's another button, when so much talent was displayed by so many. We waltzed divinely and made perfect hill billies skipping through the Virginia Reel. Everyone enjoyed the Faculty's fine performance. Various countries and ideas were represented when the grand march of the lower school into the auditoritun took place. After the judges selected the prize winners, the girls joined their junior and senior pals in the gym. With the color and origin- ality of their costumes, they added much to the gaiety already in swing. It was certainly easy to have a wonderful time among the black cats, pumpkins, skeletons, and black and orange streamers decorating the gym. Our own band, supplying the music, added that professional touch, but the apple tafhes reminded us it was still our very own Hallowe'en party.
