We have been told that as we tread down the aisle to the stately strains of Pomp and Circum- stancef, we are approaching the threshold to the adult world in which we will take our places. Our determination whispers to us that it will be, it must be, a New WVorldg our courage replies that we have the tools to build that New World. What are the tools? What can you do? ask the cynicists, the pessimists, the dis-believers. lVith resolution in our hearts, we answer: We have faith and hope and the desire for understanding. VVe have seen darkly-clouded war years, tortured years, and it is our will that the sun may once again shine upon lands where men's lives and thoughts and spirits are-free. We have the conviction that men, weary of times darkened by distrust and hate, will gradually make that journey into the countries of the heart and arrive at the glorious summit where all have a firm belief in One Goa' and the essential brotherhood of man. We have awareness of the urgent reality about us, and we have confidence in our ability to face our problems with wisdom. Our future depends not only upon armies and navies and diplomats, but upon each one of us. It depends upon the thoughts we think, the helping hand we are willing to extend to a neighbor, our high aspirations, our compassion, and our belief in ideals. Our New World depends upon the simple but eternal things. It will be fashioned to our dreams, built to the blueprints of our thoughts. With determina- tion and courage to realize these plans, We say, There's a New WVorld a 'cominllu - 'T-.

As a class, we feel gratefully indebted to her because of the many tasks she has under- taken in our behalf, which were performed not merely through a sense of duty but through an understandingand love for us. How dear to our hearts are her friendly smile and gentle words of counsel. We truly feel that Miss Laramy is, in great measure, responsible for what success We have attained.

The Service Club has sought to instill within every student the ideals set forth in the Code of Honor and Courtesy. The two governing bodies are the Executive Council and the Representative Council. The Executive Council is composed of representatives from each classg Representative Council brings together the Aids and Assistant Aids from all sections to discuss matters affecting the entire student body. The Service Club officers, elected by the school at large, preside over both organi- zations. The Service Club, in keeping with its name. devotes itself to the aid of others. The functions of Trafiic Ofiicers, Study Hall Captains, Lunch- room Lieutenants, and Hostesses are all out- Ideniifmiion of pi1'ture.f from lop of page, daft::n:.

The members of the Traffic Squad pleasantly but efficiently maintain order while passing between periods, to and from Assembly, and during fire drills. The Captains of Study Hall take complete charge of the roll and supervise all study periods. We are indeed proud of their good work. Lunchroom Lieutenants preserve a quiet at- mosphere during our luncheon periods and also make necessary announcements at this time. Hall Hostesses spend pleasant study periods in the halls to welcome our many visitors. An occasional treat is to show them our beautiful building. The secret of the fine cooperation in the Service Club is that it is not made up of a group of Girls' High girls, but IS Girls' High.

The initiates take 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 kindg helping our fellows with gracious acts and ready sympathy, and in love for them seeking their good above our own. We would be braveg 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 wiseg 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 material 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. 41 1-i Sealed at left,dfir.ft rofw: Hedlvall Cohen, Ruth Mernielz, Jean Sonne, Margaret Franlzman, Dr. Hart.

They are the ones who forward school drives, try to straighten out problems, and help their younger classmates through Caesar and algebra. lf one of her stu- dents becomes tangled in a web of studies, the Sponsor is there to lend a hand. Sponsors are elected from the 12B class for every section from 9A to llB. The presidents of the 12A and 12B classes sponsor their own sections. Sponsors are selected for their scholar- ship, leadership, understanding, enthusiasm, and friendliness. They must attend all Representa- ttive Council meetings, report any special prob- lems to the counselor, and meet with Dr. Hart once a month Ato discuss any diflicult situation which might have arisen. ln addition, they attend class meetings, write a monthly letter to Dr. Hart, write notes to their Aids on the Representative Council blanks, and keep in close touch with every one of their students. What would G.H.S. do without them? VVe shall always remember our Sponsors as playing a dual role-that of a teacher and a friend. Their little services here and there are just one more reason why we speak of The intangible spirit of the Philadelphia High School for Girls.

The tiny room is often filled to capacity with busy news- paper women. The girls, from the assistant business man- agers up to the co-editors themselves, are busy writing up school events, visits of celebrities to the school, humorous columns, and other articles. All the work is efficiently supervised by Miss Baylson, who firmly believes in the OHicial Style Book. An example of Freedom of the Press is the special Student Edition, which appears once each term. We give three cheers to the Staff mem- bers of the Iris Leaflet and to lVIiss Baylson, for making the school paper such a grand success!

Since the war effort covers so many phases, a large per- centage of students are engaged in at least one activity. The Victory Corps is especially important. To be a member, a girl IUUSTZ devote at least two hours a week to some work aiding the war effortg such as, helping in a community crusade, working as a hospital aide or as a clerical assist- ant. The Victory Corps sponsored a Blood Donor Pledge drive this year. Since we are under age and cannot give blood ourselves, our work was to interest older people in giving theirs and to bring in the pledges. Through the Junior Red Cross chapter, Edu- cational boxes and Christmas boxes were filled for the children in the war torn countries over- seas. These girls also made ceramic ash trays for our boys in the Valley Forge Hospital. They brightened up the trays on Easter morning. The sale of stamps and bonds every Monday morning has already become a ritual. The school certainly did a fine piece of work for the Sixth War Loan Drive by topping our goal of 590,000 Nlany sections sold over 51,000 worth of bonds, some sections selling even over 35,000 worth. The final total sold in the drive was over S173,000,000. Because of the wonderful cooperation and participation, we were able to buy several pieces of equipment, including an evacuation hospital, a convalescent camp, and a clearing station.

There is a place for everyone interested in music. The main musical organizations are the Orchestra and the Treble Clef. Girls with years of training and those with only a few, learn to interpret good music by practicing with the Orchestra. Under lVIiss Dorothy lVeir, this group works together and each member de- velops a spirit of cooperation and kinship never experienced in working alone. A beginner may borrow a school instrument, take lessons right here in G.H.S. and become a part of the Orchestra. Besides the benefits it affords the individual, our Orchestra contributes to our assemblies, Christmas Cantata, Graduation, and other occasions. Our Band, though less conspicuous, is our pride and joy at gym contest time. It gives the pep and zip needed to make our contest one of the highlights of the school year.

Clef and the Glee Club, led by Miss Marguerite Goll. The Glee Club makes it possible for any- one in the school to sing in a group, whether she wants to exercise her vocal cords or aspires to an opera career. From these girls and from the vocal ensemble classes, the most proficient are chosen to sing in Treble Clef. Once a part of this organization, the members work hard, often coming early three or four days a week. Treble Clef is called upon to entertain on many occasions outside the school as the girls have a reputation for choral work, known all over the city. Each spring, girls are chosen to sing and play in the All Senior High Festival Chorus and Orchestra. These groups are made up of pupils from all over the city. We're proud to say that Girls High is always well represented. All these opportunities in the field of music are possible, not only because we have a fine school, but because of the untiring efforts of our two leaders. Their patience and guidance have led us through this year to a successful and happy conclusion. . i i it ILM 1 39 .4 3 f I it I ' -v A n l' L it Q Ng, ' ln XL D II x I ' 0 f i ! I ff. ., t e ' , le.

The skills for the sports at G.H.S. are taught during class time and are put into use both in class and after school. Bowling has been very popular recently. We have moved from North Broad Street alleys to those at 13th and Market Streets. The opportunity to be on the varsity squad is open to those bowlers who make one hundred or more. ' Swimming is another away-from-school-sport. Our mermaids practice at the Y and take part in inter-school swimming meets. The Tennis Club has grown from a group of SVVIMMING CLUB VOLLEY BALL six or seven to a full-Hedged club with an over- Howing membership. Concentration on the basic principles of good playing is afforded during class for everyone, but those more interested go to the Woodford Courts in the Park to receive further instruction and to try for the varsity. Beginners, as well as advanced students, are welcomed in every sport available. Besides those clubs discussed above there are the Trot and Canter Club, Hockey, Basketball, Badmin- ton, Table Tennis, Archery, and Baseball. Whenever that New World comes, the stu- dents of G.H.S. will be prepared with good sportsmanship and healthy, alert bodies, thanks to our Atheltic Association!

G.H.S. was preparing for the thirty-second annual Gym Contest, and the spirit of good-natured competition ran high. Finally the gala day arrived and Betty Jane introduced those proud and glorious teams: Green, Red, Blue, and Gold! Pride and expect- ancy were seen on every face, and though we thought last year's contest could not be sur- passed, our minds,were changed when we viewed this year's meet. Every minute was enjoyed, from the paradeof the cheerleaders and teams to the sophomores' clever Spanish Dance. Even the mascots seemed more delightful than before. Elsie and Beulah with their soulful lVIoo's and clever antics led the Gold on to an hilarious victory. I2A's Patty-Cake Man did his best to mix up a victory but fell a wee bit short. Candy proved an enticing young miss. And who will ever forget the clever routines of the IIB cheerleaders! Then of course there was Little Max -playing a bashful representative of the IIA's. Those gentle blushes at the sight of Alice made him an unforgettable part of our contest. Then came more enjoyment . . . and sus- pense, as we watched the form, perfection, and grace of our stars, in apparatus, dancing, and rhythmics. Then, the obstacle race-we could never overlook that! Hoarse voices . . . shrielcs of joy . . . and a final victory for Gold! The coveted honors were announced by Dr. Hart. Joyce Bilas captured the cup for IZA, Jeanne Kieser, IZA, won second place-silver medal, and Michele Levene, IZB, third place -silver medal. Yes, that was the contest . . . our lastl A tough fight . . . fine spirit . . . a well earned victory. Then, the usual smiles and tears . . . but we're still All Pals Together. 12B TEAM Jean Sonne, June Lavan, Geraldine Greway, Alice Godfrey, Pauline Haas, Michele Levene, Julia Wood- lin, Joy Ottey, Mary Bortz, Ruth Lewis, Rose Reale, Margaret Hadley.

I, ,, , We are the Seniors of our Girls' High School. Senior Day at last! We rejoiced in it while tripping up stairs in our unwonted heels. Rushing the halls to show our finery was only a prelude to a wonderful day. Mama pin a rose on me, we chorused in unison. VVe met in the basement to compare goose bumps before the march into the auditorium. Our parade down the aisle actually made us feel like Seniors. lVho was in step, anyway? Isolated sneezes came from scattered rose allergies. Sally's and Juneys fine speeches and Doris's stirring poem were the highlights of an enjoyable assembly. Even more than usual, Lunch was the most popular period. For the first time no note was needed for early dismissal. Riding on the Seventeenth Street car became an unwelcome but gay salmon act. Drugstoritis smote us before descending on the Forrest. Then-lights out-and Winged Vic- tory. Who passed those gooey salt water taflies? . . Oh!', . . . K'Ah . . . lsn't he cute ? . . . YVe're still dateless Dotties, but at 62 K!! 5 .ff Q1 xgigg., G' 0 u 29 is l ,,- K Gfkii' least we've seen a stage-full of men recently. Intermission found us sipping orange-tinted water and mending runs. More show-more men. After leaving the theatre, we craned our necks to espy the hurrying actors, walked down the street four and five abreast, and finally reached Kugler's Arcadia. Finding the English Room at last, we checked our wraps and trooped into dinner. A rousing cheer to Mrs. Chalikian,- and then we proceeded to concentrate on the dee-licious meal. It must be admitted, however, that the apple butter was tangy! Until then We had never really appreciated our G.H.S. lunchroom. Between bites, the new, proud feeling that this was at last Senior Day prodded us. The entertaining after-dinner speeches came, and then the mad dash to other restaurants and movies. This was the wonderful day when no one took us for freshmen. Single roses were our badge of dignity. Throughout the day we en- joyed the admiring glances of other students and the immense satisfaction of being the only centers of attraction. Even the night was unusual, for we had a legitimate excuse for a homework-less evening. An inspirational assembly and a poign- ant play helped make the day that will endure forever in our 1'ecollection of our 12B term.
