I In 'I I Q xvlln REMEMBER - And yet, it wasn't so long ago - When Steve looked like Ameche so, When Susan attempted to reduce And dancing class put boys on the loose The days when John had a daily fight The E row for dumb, the A row for bright The football game was all a muddle When Whit McDowell fell into a puddle. Up through the days of childish bliss To the High School age of Mister and Miss. Our Freshman year was a thrilling one With newcomers to add to the fun. We welcomed Leois big brief case And Nida with her smiling face. Sally and Gilman and Flora Lee Ish, Bitsy and Scholl, Dottie. The heavyweight team was undefeated. Latin we fought to get completed. The 5:30 birdwalks with Gene Udellg Why the girls went was easy to tell. The day our Leonard was loved by all For scarlet fever Victim he did fall. School was closed for a little while, But we all braved it with a smile. So on we came as time did fly To Sophomores in Senior High 'Twas in this year that we were blessed With Mr. Hofmannls cheerful zest. His history courses - something new The 10-Cis movie showed what they knew. The plays we gave were really hepg Leonard, Romeo, Koch, Juliet Goofy Nowell as Robin Hood Newcomer Thurmanis hysterics were 6'Good Oh! Those time charts! How we slavedl For every grain of knowledge saved. The Soph Hop proved to be the best And, so far, we had passed each test. Now there came our first real blow, lnto the Navy Mr. Christian did go. Spring and Summer bring a cheer But we were happy to return next year. In our Junior year more left our rank, Mclntyre, Eldridge, Bafield, and Plank. But we carried on with happy faces, Though we never traveled to distant places. Hofmannls home room led the gang To a party at Eddie's where laughter rang. To them this easy task did fall, They were champions in basketball. But the tables were turned, as we did see, They were beat by the faculty. The Junior Prom was a big success. We made quite a few dollars Q more or lessj . Spring did come, and school did end, But again next fall we would attend. Then we were Seniors, all in style, Marching down the center aisle. We elected a congress to help us along, With Kirk as head sponsor we couldn't go wrong There was football, hockey, the Senior Ball, Pictures taken of one and all. For those who got jobs, a four week vacation, Themes were enjoyed like the gasoline ration. The Christmas party where all was gay, With young and old to lead the way. Barber shop harmony from the Papas, Military drilling from the Mamas, The boys, refusing to lose their place, Produced a minstrel show ublackfacef' Young Aprill, was our Senior Play, Nida with many a finance, Leo and Goofy fought the bout, But Whit McDowell, at last, won out. From undefeated Basketball girls, To Lacrosse and Track, our two last whirls. ltls sad, the trumpet section's fate, With Bob at Drexel, Paul at State. And the Garnet, too, felt a loss When deserted for England by Jim, the boss. To Gordie Bierman, and Blackman, Jack, Gilman Spencer and Colin lVlac', Widdowson, Gil, and Cilestio, Larry, John Reinhold and John Rogeri To all of you who left our group, For membership in a larger troop All the best of luck and more, You'll help us even up the score. And, with graduation, we say good-bye To our happy days at Swarthmore High.

ROBERT DISQUE PAUL RUTAN Probably the only fault of the Senior Cabinet for the year 1943-441 was its inability to keep a treasurer. Aside from that, under the able leadership of president Haines Dickinson, it passed many important measures. It played an important part in ar- ranging for the school to become the foster parent of an English refugeeg it succeeded in having the long-awaited trophy case builtg and it sponsored the successful weekly stamp and bond drive throughout the school. At the end of the year, the elections were held for next year,s oHicers. It will be up to these officers to carry on the good work done by the Cabinet this year. W Y, 1 Editor-in-chief . . . . .

RUTH WAGNER The Band started another successful season by playing at all of the home football games. Later in the fall, the Band competed in the Cultural Olympics of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, and was rated very high by the judges. All winter, the Band members practiced faithfully in order to prepare their annual Spring Concert, and, as a dress rehearsal, they played for the Yeadon High School early in the Spring. The concert itself, which was presented in April, was a tremen- dous success. It included a novel uWorld Tour arrangement of the Dark Town Strutters' Ballv by Mr. Frank Lawrence. The Band's sixth season was completed by a performance at the annual Memorial Day parade. Much credit is due to Mr. Richard Fish and Mr. Lawrence for their patience and understanding in the direc- tion of the Band this year. VYOUNG APRIL I can't hear you, the familiar mocking call echoes again and again from the back of the auditorium to the stage where two weary actors are struggling through the first scenes of Young April . We are back in those four hectic weeks that led up to the performance of the 194-41 Senior Play. There were some awful moments during those weeks when lines would not stay remembered, and dress rehearsals went tradi- tionally badly, but thanks to the splendid cooperation of the whole senior class, and the tireless efforts of Miss Hanna Kirk and the cast, the play was a great successg we shall always remember it with pleasure.

It is made up of the four class oliicers and representatives from each homeroom depending on the number of people in the homeroom. Congress, sponsored by Mr. Hofmann, meets every other Thursday, second period, down in room two. It discusses and passes some propositions, but the more import- ant matters are carried back and discussed in the homeroom. Because the class of '44 is so large, we feel that our small governing body has got rid of a lot of confusion and has got a lot more accomplished. Ti-IE 'I Pi-IECY I. Q. DUMBFOUNDED WISDOM, MONTANA HAVING WONDERFUL TIME STOP WISH YOU WERE HERE STOP LETTER FOLLOWING STOP 44MER STUDENTS OF SWARTHMORE WALLFLOWER-CASTORIA HOTEL NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK Hi, 1. Q.1 I wish you could be here! Honestly, I have seen more former class-mates! It seems that they have all migrated to New York. Every place I go I run into someone I used to know. As I entered the M44 Club , Lucille Williams flashed me a big smile when I handed her my hat. I hurried to keep up with the long strides of head-waiter Bob Disque, who led me to a ringside table, and waitresses Priscilla Giles and Bitsy Myers collided and upset a service table full of silverware as they rushed toward me. I suddenly heard a scream, and up jumped Jean Storrs, popular glamor girl, with coffee running down her back. Society editor Margie Sweney dashed to the scene to get the details, and the whole room was astir except for Kay Thurman, who sat calmly under the third table to the left picking up cigarette butts. V The '4Spencer Silhouettersn gave out with a roll on the drums by bandleader Gil Spencer, a loud blast on the trumpet by Paul Thayer, and an off-key squeak on the clarinet by Bill Hartman as Tyner Brown, M.C., stepped forward to introduce the first number on the program by international dancer Eleanor Wolf. Tyner looked around frantically, and then he announced that Eleanor was absent, and Paula Sinatra Sala would sing in her place. As Paula crooned, Whitford McDowell swoonedg in fact, he nearly swallowed his clarinet. My applause was so raucus that I found bouncer Robert Lflelly-Bellyi' Coleman giving me the once-over for size, but I quieted down in time to hear that triumphant trio Joe Cook, Dick Lappe, and Bob Hastings. On the request of Shower,s model, Bobby Blakiston, they did encore after encore of the old favorites, HPistol Packin' Maman, '4Shoo Shoo Babyn, and uMairzy-Doatsn. The sweet notes of the trio were interrupted by a soft mellow voice cooing, uCigars, cigarettes, king size cigarettesv, and looking up, my eyes caught the beaming face of Ora Wood, but my gaze was torn away by the whirling spectacle of the finale featuring Anne Turner and the latest jitterbug steps. . I started out early the next morning to a boatlaunching. Upon leaving my hotel, I was nearly run down by a cab with a three-toned horn with Bill Horsey at the wheel, and so I decided to make my trip by air. Jeanie Huey in her helicopter hurried me to the shipyard. Despite the heavy air traffic, I soon found myself on the platform be- tween Charles Moore and Russ White. When I asked Charles what he was doing, he blushed' and refused to tell. Russell proudly and confidently reported that he had argued his way into the launching and was now only slightly worried about arguing his way out. The ceremony began with Colin McLarty's presenting the HS. O. S. '44- to its new captain, John Rogeri, who blushed with shy pride and uttered a meek '4Thanks . Throughout the ceremony, I was conscious of a queer pounding on the ship's deck, and looking up, I saw Leonard Egee building his latest model of the famous aOcean Staten sailboat. Then came the big thrill, as Louise Wood and Carol Thompson hastily put in the last rivets, and Paul Rutan pulled the pilings away, and Eva Worst, heiress of the Pew millions, heaved the bottle with all her might upon the ship's bow. Over- head, Gil Widdowson and Gordie Bierman dipped the wings of their planes in a salute. Meanwhile, Professor Leo Woerner was trying out his latest invention for separating the champagne from the glass. Sauntering along Broadway, I saw many surprising outcomes of '4-4 talents. The first thing to catch my eye was a magnificent advertisement of a body beautiful course, Get thin with Zinnlv Next to it, the Metropolitan had placed a billboard of the new opera, 6'Ego Te Amo by ,lohn Larson, starring the two well known basses ,lerry Nowell and Boake Tsukahara. A huge sign in front of Carnegie Hall announced an extraordinary program starring ballerina Betty Littlefield and Flora Lee, lyric soprano. Further up the street was a modern theater starring ,Iennet Adrian in Shakespearean drama, and nearby a crowd was gathered to see the rodeo in Madison Square Garden. I joined the crowd in time to hear international yodeler John Reinhold giving forth. The crowd roared as Jack Blackman carried Hays Penfieldis horse into the ring, fol- lowed by Dorothea Scholl who was carrying Hays himself. Hays mounted and began well, but suddenly I saw that he was going to be thrown, and remembering my appoint- ment, I left. I hailed a helicopter, and Ish Wood drifted me over to Convention Hall for the uawards of the yeara' program. I was so late that I only heard Haines Dickinson get an award, I donit know what for. ,lesse Hiraoka, as presiding officer, presented the award of the title uSuperwoman,, to Jane Beatty. Bill Bell received recognition for his sharp-shooting ability, and Molly Harper was named world champion chess player. Marilyn Murphy was given a special citation for the most original hair-do of the season. ,lim Champion, rushing in at the last minute with papers streaming from his notebook, was awarded the privilege of using his own last name in any field ofliter- ature and art. As the climax, Nida.Poteat was awarded the much sought-after title of Elmira Girli' for the thirtieth consecutive year. f . Seeing a member of the awards committee, Mary Morse, bearing down on me, I tried to duck out the back way, but I was intercepted by fleet-footed Louise Servais. I real- ized there was no escape, and so I agreed to join them at the motherls meeting in the next room. The very able chairman, Mardy Crosby, called the meeting together and said that the first business was to elect' a chairman of the concert committee. After a serious discussion which included even a question on the number of balls of wool needed to make a purple sweater asked by Betty Laws, it was finally agreed that Anne Cochran was the only woman for the job. Our entertainment was presented by Mother Thatcher, who gave several'cPointers on Child Care. Then the meeting was opened for discussion, and Ria Hanalik, a regular attendant at these meetings, asked many intelligent questions. Trixie Tweed in her snappy nurses' unifbrm asked for 'volunteers to donate blood to the Red Cross, and Carolyn Cilestio and Elaine Caldwell fell over each other trying to be the first. I again decided to tramp down Broadway. On the marquee of a large theater, I spied the familiar name of Judy Koch in '4The Case of the Blonde Bangs. Jack Lamb- din, the barker, was shouting, 'LCome to the 4Case of the Blonde Bangs,' and see how it comes out. Behind him, resplendent in a doorman's uniform, was Ed Belfield taking tickets. High upon a scaffold, Bill McDowell could just barely be seen painting a mustache on Dave Seymour's picture. The sign said, '4Dave Seymour, Coney Islandis greatest magician, shows us some magic tricks? Down the street a little farther, my eye was caught by a huge sign reading Modern Design? It marked an exclusive interior decorating shop owned and managed by Ginny Speck, ,lean Baird, and Pauline Deacon. As I entered, I heard horrible shrieks coming from the back of the store, and .lean informed me that Jessie Gilbert was having another tantrum because of an unsuccessful idea. Wandering on up the street, I saw Middy Henry in a show window gazing longingly at the wax models. Bill Pressman rushed out and dragged me into his store, telling me all about his latest bargains. I heard a simple laugh, and looking up I saw Curt Gallagher buying another pair of argyle socks. Hurrying away from Pressman's, whom should I run into but Sally Spencer, who vivaciously insisted that I come to see her newspaper. On the 44th floor, I saw Art Editor Sue Reynolds, Feature Editor Mary Ann Hook, General Manager Greg Heath, and photographers Woody Sanville and Dave Eynon. I hurried out and was almost knocked down by Rosalie Burnett and Alma Henry, who informed me that, being Greg Heathis secretaries, they are both kept on the run all day. Passing a door marked uPrivate',, I looked in and saw Norris Stein laughing heartily at his latest cartoon. His secretary, Lee Sheridan, only smiled politely, and so I ducked into Beth Polk's office to escape being discovered. Beth was smothered in letters, she has taken over Dorothy Dix's column, you know. She told me to run across the hall to see Jackie Moore, but looking in I found Jackie was too busy with her fashion column, and so I went on my way. At the entrance was peppy Edie Thatcher, Sports Editor, who was in too much of a hurry to talk, but told me that I should go visit Dave Workis Pepper Company. A crowd was gathered near my destination, and I could hear the soothing voice of Dave Webb from a soap box. As I entered the office of the Pepper Company, Dave Daugherty tripped me, and as he lifted me to my feet, he explained that he is now one of the big bosses. Sam Rhodes jerked me up in the elevator to the 44th floor, and as I entered a huge room, I was greeted by the friendly smile of Lois Shirley, chief secretary Qand power behind the thronel of the Pepper Company. Through two mas- sive doors I heard loud screaming, and Lois informed me that President Dave Work and Vice-President Ruth Pike were having an argument. The only Witness to these arguments is Minnie McMullin, who calmly takes down every word that is said from her permanent position on Workis knee. Feeling the need of a little peace and quiet, I ran down the stairs to the street. I had always wanted to visit the 4'Little Church Under the Corner , and so I took this opportunity. On the steps outside of the church was Betty Morse calmly trying to make up her mindf, As I entered, I heard lovely music. Bob Kerr and Betty Wilson were standing by the organ giving forth . The Reverend Doctor Sidney Smith was leading Helen Kraus up to the altar for her weekly repentance. Realizing that this would take a long time, I left just as Bob and Betty were starting the 44th verse. I was extremely tired, and so I came back to the Wallflower-Castoria to rest and to write to you about our old class-mates. Next time I take a trip, hope you will realize that it pays to go with me. Your friend, ELMER Secretary, 44mer Students Swarthmore High C I-'OOTBALL Under the capable leadership of Captain Gil Widdowson and expert guidance of Coaches Ziegenfus and Hofmann, the 194-3 season was a most successful one. The Z-Men came out victorious in six of their nine games scoring a total of 91 points to their opponents' mere 25. This line record helped to give them their rating as the best defensive team in the county. The boys showed best at Ridley Township where they outplayed the highly favored 4'Green Raiders throughout the game except for an early scoring drive by their opponents. The Little Garnetl' closed the season with a 12-0 victory over their old rivals Lansdowne. Best of luck to co-captains Herman Holmes and Ken Houtz in next year's season.
