P 'W' K ri bi in HERE is an old saying which goes, All good things must come to an end. That is the way we members of the Class of 1943 feel about our high school days. We have enjoyed so many things, and have profited by the things we enjoyed and by the things which seemed hard: and all the time have felt that we were a part of something to which it was worth while giving our time and interest and work. Now Commencement brings an end to that period which every one thinks was perhaps the best time of his life. In Sewickley High we entered on new ex- periences. Freshman days brought into being a new group that busied itself with new experi- ences in a new situation. We will never forget the first few days' bewilderment with unusual schedules and locks, unforgettable locks that just wouldn't open until we faced dreadful tardiness. We will remember the biggest, noisiest night of the Carnival put on by upper classmcn. It was the year of the traditional trip to the Water- works to see just what makes it tick. We shared in the Clean-up Plihde and the work that followed, received special guidance as to our careers from capable and experienced ex- perts, and racked our 'brains trying to complete our vocational themes. With a new year we felt ourselves belonging. We could tell new students what was what. Traditions had become familiar. Elections were carried through: Student Council members were installed in a beautiful ceremony: Home Room Programs were weekly features: the popular Exchange Programs brought a pleasant contact with other schools: the forensic-minded and musically gifted entered competition: Christmas brought the always impressive program-'will we ever forget the German classes singing? The inductions of The Honor Society brought the desire to become such students and leaders that we, too, might be so recognized. The home room Christmas parties come to mind: our enthusiasm in sports with tribute to those who brought honor to themselves and the school. One year we were Class B, W.P.I. A.L. champion. and other years we ran close. Rallies, parades, and bonfires brought out crowds, especially when the Sewickley Band MEMORIES OF IQLL3 added its color to such occasions. Talking of sports, recall, if you will, the State ,Cross- Country Run last year to celebrate physical fitness. We think of many athletic events- remember Mr. Winne's Men in Silver? Memory lingers over special assembly pro- grams--Mr. Ramsey, war correspondent: the Syrian who found he was an American: the Julius Caesar and Macbeth performances: Am- bridge's Twelfth Night: Avalon's gay and unusual plays: the demonstration of the best- dressed student: the popular song days: movies and movies: the glass blowers: the potter and his wheel: the fascinating magicians: world travelers with the marvels of their reports: our own talent days--olkulglae many, many events that four years may Notable plays hav P' on our calendar for which we helped sell tickets-Ceiling Zero, The Cat and the Canary, Don't Take My Penny, and our own War Correspondent- these seem special. Changes have occurred, too. One fall Mr. Danner was missing. Mr. Nevin's smiling face became familiar. Miss Foster resigned. Mt. Stroup left last spring. In the fall Mr. Thome, Miss Doty, Miss Fickinger, and, soon, Miss Bloomfield no longer were with us: Mr. Mc- Namara was called to new iields. Welcome was given to Mrs. Smith, Mr. Binney, Miss Gerhard, Miss Wisner, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wor- ley was here for a short period. The Social Science classes talk of three teachers this year, and so do some Commercial classes. The War has touched us closely. Not only in the way of teachers. Many have dropped from our class so that the class which has counted as many as one hundred and thirty now graduates as eighty-eight. Many' will be called to the colors upon graduation: others will follow in short order. Places will be found for most of us in some way or another to speed the new day-a world contest is on. Our reminiscing closes on a somber note, but no matter: we leave our high school days with hearts and hopes high. Whenever we get down- cast we will look back to the good ti'mes of our high school days. and troubles will be lighter. D. K., '43 Twenty-three
