APPRECIATION of ADVISORS Mr. Frank Rackish, the originator and author of that Scoop philosophy, has earned the eternal gratitude of the class of ’5 for his efforts to give us the Scoop on deeper English and for his careful guidance and leadership in helping us to compile and edit the TIGER LILY. He has set an example in clothing, speech, and manners for the men of the Senior Class. Mr. Frank also was a great help in our magazine campaign and had charge of our commencement exercises. Mr. Frank Rackish B.S. Mrs. Nadolske, the director of the Senior play, surely has a large share of credit due to her for her aid in bringing about our gradual evolution from Sniffling Sophs to Sophisticated Seniors.

FOREWORD Why do you buy Ivan’s oatmeal? I’ll tell you why. Because Ivan’s oatmeal is the best oatmeal. Where did you learn that Ivan’s is the best oatmeal? Big Ben from WBBZ let you know. That two page spread in GLARE of the familiar red and white parcel made you long for Ivan’s. You looked at the billboards. You sighed when you saw Muscles McMann dipping that spoon into a bowl of oats. Then you realize that you. too. could be like Muscles McMann. Ivan’s would make you into a husky individual. Big Ben said that the Vitamin Z in Ivan’s would give you pep. That handsome picture in GLARE made you dash right down to Cooper’s to buy a large sized package of that nourishing cereal. Now, what made you buy Ivan’s? Advertising did it. The American whose paydays don’t come often enough, who must control the number of checks that he signs to insure his daughter the clothes she desires, hasn’t the leisure to consider the importance of advertising. However, at one time, he has probably realized that his only reason for buying a certain brand of cigarettes or canned peas is that he has seen colorful representations exaggerating their quality in the newspaper or periodical which he reads. If he should stop to ponder, he would realize how great an influence advertising does have on an individual and how great a factor it is in American life. Advertising is of inestimable value both financially and psychologically. Knowing this importance, the Seniors are advertising their school in this issue of the TIGER LILY. Unlike much advertising, they are presenting their administration, teachers, classes, organizations, and athletics in an unbiased manner. Realizing that PAHS is, too often, criticized adversely, they are determined to make the pupils and adults understand the true nature of their school. Their medium for advertising will be SCOOP. They define SCOOP as the total knowledge gained by pupils from teachers, books, class discussions, and participation in school activities.. With SCOOP one becomes aware of his environment, aware of present national and international developments, and acquainted with universal ideas and their value. A student, to understand the ways of this unsympathetic world and to make his journey through it as full as possible must be saturated with SCOOP. The pupils necessarily realize that the Administration is responsible for their getting the SCOOP. SCOOP simply emanates from the teachers and the students have an opportuntiy to absorb it. Whether they do or do not is entirely their own affair. Activities classified as extra-curricular are priceless. They provide the outlets and training grounds where SCOOP received and retained can be applied practically. Pupils are strengthened through participation in group activities, in social units where all must cooperate. Here SCOOP is put to democratic and beneficial use through unselfish endeavors of a group to benefit PAHS. On the following pages, you will note the different personalities and their importance based on the quantity of SCOOP which they have absorbed. The Seniors have no doubt that PAHS is capable of giving the maximum amount of SCOOP to its pupils. Their advice to the underclassmen is simply this: Be popular, Be useful, Be SCOOPFUL. nine
