We are graduating in a period of great uncertainty in our countryis history, but we feel confident that we are prepared to face any eventuality which may confront us in the days to come. This may sound like the optimism of youth, but if ever the world needed this quality, it needs it now. This hook is the last project of our class and in it we have tried to capture and hold the spirit of our school and of the class of 544. We hope that for us and all of our friends it may serve as a memento of four years of good times and achievement.

DOROTHY MOWERY 1 Secretary 5 .ff wt W, ju jim 'ft Klazm nf 7944 lu these days when the concern of the world is mainly turned away from certain abiding truths, it is easy for students to lose the perspective of life. As a member of tl1e class of 1944, you must strive vehemently with problems that confront you. Not so many years ago, seniors could leave high school with a feeling of security for the future. There is no denying the fact that a new ap- praisement of values is necessary now to meet the challenge of the future. We are in a War, more than two years now. Billions of dollars are being expendedg family circles are broken, the casualty list is mounting, no end of the conflict in sight, and your turn is coming next. How are you going to meet it? All this sounds gloomy and without faith in youth. But, there is a lovely stanza from a poem of ,lohn lllasefieldz It may be so, but let the unknown be, We, on this earth, are servants of the sun. Out of the sun comes all the quick in me, His golden touch is life to everyone. lt tells so much. We, the birds, the animals, the plants, the good earth- everything--servants of the sun, responding to its eternal reign. Today, for the first time in the lives of young people between the ages of six- teen and twenty-four years, employment opportunity exists for all who are em- ployable. We may deplore the world situation wl1icl1 has created a need for the military, but the immediate benefits to youth, for the moment at least, are obvious. Finally, youth received its chance to serve the nation and tovbolster its morale. Seldom do we find evidences of frustration in the faces of youth today. Accordingly you will be called upon to help to plan for economic competency and the rehabilitation of the soldier. The post-war America will also demand occupational competency, education for National Service, and a secondary school program that is functional. There is an immediate need for long range planning. Upon leaving our high school, you must meet the challenge of the war and tl1e reconstruction period. How can this be done you ask? There is no known pattern. However, it can be said that for the winning of this all-important peace it is expected, and reasonably, that the complete development of human re- sources must be accomplished. For tl1e extension of democracy and the con- tinuance of free enterprise this is most essential. So, out of the dark will come a new birth. There is an old Chinese proverb recalled in this connection: uWl16H the heart is at peace the waves become calmf, After the tempest has been calmed, it will be a satisfaction for you to know that you have been prepared to win the peace because you have held steadfast to tl1e things you felt would bring security, and because you thought that educa- tion as usualw was not enough-it never was enough. Best wishes and Godspeed in your work. Sincerely, ROBERT L. ADAMS, Supervising Principal. January 29, 1944. f 10 l 51 ,- q 51, Mg f if 15,5 Q , 5 .

She finds it dilhcult to concentrate on earthly things. Most any time outside of school she can be found breezing around the roller skating rink-her favorite pastime. Above all we admire her for her good sports- manship and willingness to help. Girl Reserves 4, Chorus 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 2, 3, 4. ANN BRADSHAW ANN Academic Ann is a girl with lots of ambition for which to work. She is proud of her Bradshaw nose and eyes. If you ever want to hear anyone get the full enjoyment out of things, just listen to her laugh and then watch her blush. A great lover of horses, undoubtedly they love her. Ann is short, but after all, lots of good things come in small packages. Honor Society 3, 4g Hockey 4, Leaders Club 2, 43 Girl Reserves 2, 3, President 4, Tide 2, 3, 4. BETTY BURKHOLDER BET'rE Academic Yes, that's Betty and her laugh-you'd know it any- where! There is always something in her hands-a trumpet, saxophone, or the wheel of a Nash. Dark hair, dark eyes, and a flashing smile make Betty a girl whom everyone likes. She's very superstitious and believes staunchly in fortune-tellers. Betty with her strict diets shows little success in losing weight. ckey 4, Patrol 4, Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4, Band 2, 3, 43 rchestra 2, 3, 4. K. ? ' A 16121 D! 'fm WILLIS BRECKBILL BILL Agriculture The blond boy of the class. Tall and slim, he is always ready with a smile, which shows off his dimples to hest advantage. Bill is the bashful type, and blushes easily. He doesn't have much to say, but still water often runs deep. Bill intends to he a farmer, so he will have a chance to use the knowledge which he has acquired as a Future Farmer of America. F. F. A. Vice-President 2, 3, 4, Operetta 3g Intramurals 2, 3, 4.

She's noted for her curls, which incidently do not come from Pierres Super de Luxe Beauty Salon. Pat sometimes serves as Mr. Anthony in helping to solve some of our seemingly insoluble proh- lems, ranging anywhere from getting out of scrapes to the sentimental field. When you find Pat with that fa- miliar twinkle in her eye you already have an apprecia- tive listener for a joke. Patrol 43 Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4, Tide 3, 4, Hockey Man- ager, 4. KATHRYN BYERS KIT Academic Kit is the musician of our class, a talented classical pianist, but she also has ahility to really get hep when it comes to playing boogie-Woogie. She is known as the one-man woman. We could say plenty about that, hut space is limited. One of the reasons for this is her glamor. She is one of the outstanding athletes of our class and is always in there pitching. We are sure she will succeed in the future in whatever Held she may venture.

Sophis- ticated and neatly dressed, she is a dreamer at heart, and can often he seen staring into space, occupied with her own thoughts. Nell is a good-natured girl, and her merry laugh and striking dimples mark her as another person who appreciates a joke. She believes in the power of wishes and solemnly Wishes on s0meb0dy's ring every week-end. Hcre's hoping all those wishes come true.

She always has SOIIIC- thing handy to nibble on. Phyllis plays a unique instru- ment in the orchestra and bandwa flute. She's been a veritable little imp around school, and lots of harmless little jokes can be traced right back to Phyl. She enjoys a joke on herself, too, which is very much to her credit. lf any new and unusual ideas crop up, there's a good chance that they come from perky Phyllis.

She doesn't say much, but what she puts down on test papers makes Cump,' green with envy. Need some help in French? Lois is just the one to go to. She is a big asset to any art department, and her patience always brings worthwhile results. Honor Society 3, 4, Patrol 2, 3, 4. vi sg Tess cfm li 'ified tm D! O 4 'flviixf My fun A DOROTHY FISHER DOT Home Economics Dot, the girl with the long hair, is frequently seen and not heard. Although she is reserved, she has a pleasing disposition and really goes to town when you get her started, which makes her even more a worthwhile friend. She does excellent work along the Home-Ec line and promises to make some lucky fellow a very helpful wife. At present, the Army is of special interest to her. Dot will go far in her quiet way toward attaining her goal. Girl Reserve 2, 3, Chorus 2, 3, Typing 4. RUSSELL CALL Russ Academic Russ is the outstanding boy of our class. His ability to lead has been proved by the fine way in which he has served in the office of president of the Senior class. He is a star guard of the basketball team, and has quite a few points to his credit. He is the only Senior boy on the Honor Society which is quite a distinction. Outside of W school his interest lies in blondes, but this does not in- A terfere with his school work. He is a good-looking, un- Mba assuming fellow, who will never let you down and is sure I' to be a success.

WILLIS GERLACH WILLIS General As, soon as Willis hears the word test tube he's off in a daze. Reason being, his ambition is a future in chemistry. Willis is a good-natured fellow, especially when it comes to laughing at Melvin Hess' version of a joke. His dark hair and eyes particularly impress a cer- tain sophomore. Willis is a conscientious and industrious worker, which leads us to believe he'll reach his goal. F. F. A. 23 Rifle Club 4, Chorus 2, 3, 4. W U51 W We 102-.Ia-Jil BLANCHE GROFF UBLANCHEU Academic One of the smaller members of the class, but don't let that fool you. Blanche can out-talk you any day. Her heart is set on being a nurse, and we are sure that with her scientific ability she will succeed. We have enjoyed her talented voice on numerous occasions and know she will go on pleasing many with it. Blanche cherishes very dearly a certain ring which may slightly change her plans.

She is an active member of the gossip society and gum-chewers' club. All the girls envy Lor- raine's hair which she says it is naturally like that! Her sunny disposition is a good addition to our class and we certainly miss it when she is not around. Patrol 2, 3, 4g Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4. s2!:wQ:d'ffff4w+4'e.' MARY JANE HEACY MARY JANE Commercial Mary Jane can almost invariably be found sitting at a typewriter or studying in general. She enjoys playing the piano and contributed her talent to the orchestra. She sometimes could be found dodging through the halls, trying her best to avoid Ed Martin who enjoys teasing her about a certain someone-better look out, too, when you see her in this mood! She has the power of deter- mination and the will to work to the finish, which will make her a very efficient stenogzrapher for some success- ful firm. lrchestra 2, 3, 49 Chorus. 2. 1 ..

He loves to use those familiar ad- verbs, how, when, where, and why, either for acquiring knowledge or just to annoy his Companions. That's 0. K.

I hope people didn't feel self-conseious if they found .lo staring at their shoes this year-it's just because she works in a shoe store oeeasionally.

HUBER A HJANIE' Commercial A friend in need is a friend indeed. This little adage fits Janie to a tee. Any time Miss Shriver needs a chief cook for Girl Reserve suppers, .lane's right there to put her culinary ability to work. She can often be seen running to the Post Ofhce with several letters in her hand -and strangely enough they usually have identification numbers behind the name.

You can have a lot of fun with Ruth, too She wants very much to be a lreautician, and no one can deny that she's already made a good start. Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4g Patrol 2.

She dresses neatly, has pretty eyes and a beautiful complexion. Saturday finds her behind a jewelry counter, a most attractive and efficient sales girl. Ellen is a good listener which is an excellent characteristic to possess. Her patience leads to success for her future-nursing. Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4. RUTH LEFEVER RUTH,' Commercial Here is the least shy member of the class, but she has a beautiful blush. Another of the tall girls, she was a decided asset to her intramural basketball team, either as a guard or a forward. Ruth's merry giggle climbs up and down the scale at the slightest provocation, and she flashes her friendly grill to one and all. Watcll her eyes light up when somebody mentions thc Navy. ls this be- cause she wants to join the WAVES or is there another reason? Leaders' Club 2g Chorus 2, 3, Honor Society 3, 4. EDWARD MARTIN En A cad emi c Alibi-Ike of the Senior Class. He is certainly an asset to our basketball team, but he accredits this to the Atlas course which he undertook while a student at boarding school. Nwhercver Ed is, there is sure to be some betting. He is very interested in photography, and can be seen clicking his camera here, there, and everywhere. His outstanding talent is his skill in playing the violin. He has contributed much to our school assemblies and will certainly do well in the future. Basketball 43 Patrol fig Rifle Club 4g Hi-Y 4. W l19I iw' , Q! 0' .

He is very good natured, and at certain times his tendencies are on the mischievous side. Managing the basketball team was quite a job but after that was done his trusty pipe relieved his nerves.

When playing basketball lIe usually wipes up the floor. Having Kit on his llllrld continuously makes him senti- mental and SOIIICHIIICS rather moody.

Being in as sane a mind as usual, we gratefully and in all sincerity leave to our most noble and respected successors our most valuable possessions: To Pauline Greer, l'atsy Bingaman wills anything extra to eat. Ann Bradshaw wills her hlushes to .lane Mentzcr. Willis Breckbill wills his fair complexion to any girl who can get it. To those who enjoy the brighter side of life, Betty Burkholder wills her laugh. Patricia Butz wills her curly hair to ,lean Craybill. Kitty Byers wills her ability to chew gum without being seen to Hazel Smeltz. Nellie Byers wills her dimples to Mary Wiittncr. Phyllis Campbell wills her numerous hair ribbons to l'at Keener. Lois Chambers wills her good behavior to Walter Posey. Dorothy Fisher wills her long hair to Mr. Rentschler. To Red Martin, Russell Gall wills his razor. Willis Cerlach wills his ability for daydreaming to Lois Herr. Blanch Croft wills her good sportsmanship to Virginia Polignone. Lorraine Harnish leaves her 7th grade love affairs to Mildred Shenlt. To Martha Meclc, Mary .lane Heagy wills her temper. Melvin Hess wills his funny hooks to Mr. Shoff's book collection.

To Mr. Shoff, we will additional patience and sell'-control as a homeroom teacher. The scholastic achievement of the Class of '44 hopefully goes to the 8th grade boys. Thus we the Class of 1944, always so thoughtful and considerate of others, close our last will and testament. Signed, WITNESSES: MRS. Moom: CLASS OF 1944 Ma. Suorr II 30 fl flaunt of W4 KIQM' With pigtails, buckteeth and knickers, we entered l.. H. S. in September l940. The annual Fair helped us to get acquainted and feel more at ease. The highlight of our first year was the Hall0we'en party wllere Mr. Bishop fnow Lieut. Bishop, j.g.l acted as master of cere- monies. Needless to Say, we all had an hilarious time. ln the fall of '41 we came back as qualified Sophomores, full of vim, vigor and vitality, which we exhibited unceasingly throughout the year. The beginning of this term was a little dis- appointing. The Fair was cancelled because of the polio epidemic. The winter brought two big events-the Gym Follies and the Valentine Dance, in which the Sophomores participated whole-hcartedly, helping to make them great successes. We were also proud of producing a first-rate basketball guard, Clair Vferner, who proved to be a great asset to the team. ln 1942, we started our career as Juniors. This year gave us a grimmer outlook for the future, for the ,laps had not stopped with Pearl Harbor, but managed to carry on their campaign against the United States more fiercely than anticipated. The fellows couldn't race around in Pop's car because of those little items called ration hooks. However, we managed to have the Fair, and working with true class spirit at our hamburg stand, we came out financially on the top. The month of November brought forth the operetta, The Count and The Co-ed. ln this some of the Juniors demonstrated their ability both as singers and lovers. Activities were cut out considerably this year because of war conditions. No basketball teamg no Junior-Senior Prom, yes, it seemed that our class had all the had breaks. We began realizing that we could not have assurances for the future unless we made sacrifices now for shortening the war. Seniors! ll Xve thought we'd never reach the top. Now, at last we had full priorities on the front seats in assembly. Our first week was a hit of an adventure. We were introduced to practically a whole new faculty, and a new principal, Mr. Adams. Mr. Dietrick, who served us faithfully for 23 years, resigned his position for one in an industrial plant. We immediately began planning for the Fair. This year we had charge of the luncheon. Under the guidance and help of Mrs. Gingrich and Mr. Shoff, we kept our heads above water, aml far enough above to make a satisfactory profit. This year our Hallowe'en party was held in liurkholdt-r's barn, aml turned out to be one of the most enjoyable parties our class ever held. ln 1944 a basketball team was organized, and our class could boast of having four fellows in the first line up. April brought forth a Senior play. -Sfter much 'Ltoil and sacrifice the class proudly pre- sented a 3 act comedy entitled Professor, How Could Youf The purpose of this play was to purchase a Service Plaque in honor of the graduates of West Lampeter. Yes, we had fun and we worked bard, and we shall probably all remember the time spent in Lampeter Hi as four of the most memorable years of our lives.

Dropping down to admire it, whom should I see on the veranda but its owner, Clyde Witmer, looking prosperous and happy. I stopped to say Hello, and he told me in the ensuing conversation that Willis Breckhill had just won a Senatorial Award for work in the advancement of Horticulture, and that Ruth Rohrer, National Director of Girls' 4-H Clubs, had acquired the American Farmerette Degree. A Proceeding on to the city, I parked my helicopter a few feet above tl1e street and climbed down to buy a newspaper. I glanced at the headlines, and was not too surprised to see that the master scientist, Willis Cerlach, had made another important discovery. The brilliant young physician, Dr. Melvin Hess, was collaborating with him in the development of the discovery, which is of a medical nature. Sharing the front page was a photograph of Patsy Bingaman, daring woman flier, who has gained new laurels for her spectacular altitude flight, which has broken all previous records. The paper seemed filled with news of the Class of '44, Eagerly reading on, I found another article. The talented American violinist, Edward Martin, had shocked the music world by an- nouncing his relinquishment of music in order to enter training for the medical profession. His associates foresee an equally brilliant future for him in this new field. On the society page was a picture of Jean Posey. This popular debutante, well-known in Eastern social circles, had just announced her engagement to one of her numerous suitors, a handsome naval officer. Also on the social page was a writeup about Mr. and Mrs. Clair Werner, who were enter- tained on a recent wedding anniversary. Mrs. Weriier is the former Kathryn Byers, talented concert pianist and amateur sportswoman. Mr. Werner, successful football coach at Notre Dame, is remembered as one of the Aces of World War II. Miss Groff Weds Prominent Surgeon was the next item which caught my eye. Blanche, a Superintendent of Nurses at a large city hospital, was giving up her successful career to become the bride of a prominent young brain specialist. I came to the entertainment page next, so I looked to see what was in the movies that eve- ning. There before my eyes was a large picture of Russell Gall, starring in the picture, Moon Love. The caption read, A Second Valentino At Last. The makeup director of this movie was the successful beautician, Ruth Humbert. Hollywood studios are wondering how they ever got along before with only the Westxixores. Having seen the movie previously, I went back to my hotel to spend the evening. As I was entering, who should come running over but Jo Ann Hollinger. Jo, writer of a syndicated dirt column, read from coast to coast, was just bubbling with news of the old gang. She sug- gested dinner together, so we went to a nice quiet restaurant where she told me all the news. Ann Bradshaw, now a famous horsewoman with winners in every large horse show in the country, had just opened a riding academy on one of her country estates. This equestrienne's success in the venture is assured by her pleasant personality and her expert's knowledge of the sport. Lois Chambers is a Flight Nurse in the Army Air Corps. Here her valuable common sense and her interest in her work have made her a well-known figure. IQ 321 lzuanfzl KIM Ffwpfwfu-60 ' Three of our former classmates are famed for cultural advancement. Founders of a School of American Art and Music are Betty Burkholder, Marjorie Rex and Nellie Byers. Nell is chief professor of painting, while Margie and Betty are in charge of Music. This beautiful school, in spite of a small beginning, has become a leading Cultural Center in America, and its founders are held in highest regard by European Artists. Dorothy Kreider recently won the American Sports Association's Annual Award for the most outstanding contribution to the advancement of Woixle11's sports. Dot has been responsible for making Wome-n's Softball one of the major American sports. Dot's star player, Ruth Le- fever, has been ranked with past sports immortals such as Alice Marble and Gertrude Ederle, and will undoubtedly gain more fame in the coming season. Phyllis Campbell is playing the flute with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. In her leisure time, she can often be seen flitting about the country in her custom-built airplane. Mary ,lane Heagy is the indispensable secretary of a rising New York executive. This efh- cient businesswoman has refused several government secretarial positions which have been of- fered to her because of her ability. Dorothy Fisher and Marian Vfitmer have made successful careers of being housewives. Dot is the wife of thc conductor of a Symphony Orchestra, and mistress of a lovely home. Marian is happily married to a highly regarded agriculturist, and is living in Lancaster County. Jane Huber is happily married to a successful businessman. A pillar of her community, ,lane takes an active part in all of her local organizations, and is looked upon as an ever-ready friend by her neighbors. Lorraine Harnish is a successful photographer and has her own exclusive studio. Lorraine's patrons include a great nmnber of motion picture and television stars, and her reputation as a reliable photographer is firmly established. Patricia Butz, well-known for her heroic work as a nurse in the European rehabilitation, is back in the States again. At present, Pat is writing an Advice to the Lovelorn colmnn for a big city newspaper, where her sound philosophy is much sought after. Ada Ross, a nurse on an international flying boat, has recently had published another best- selling book, which tells of the numerous adventures she encounters on global flights. One of her previous books has just been made into a successful lnovie. Jo and I looked up from ollr conversation at tllis point to see coming toward our table the well-known lllllll-Hll0lll'tUW'll, Andy llollinger, and Donald Mylin, the John Robert Powers of 1954. Mylin Models, famous as the most beautiful girls in the world. includes the svelte Ellen Krug, who will soon be seen in a new motion picture. Andy was anxious to hear his favorite orchestra which was running a week's engagement nearby, so we all went along over to see if anybody we knew was there. The orchestra was featuring a new vocalist that evening, and when she came on, it turned out to be none other than Nancy Miller. This popular little torch singer was a dazzling success, and when she finished singing we edged our way through the crowd to congratulate her. As we passed by one of the front tables, whom should we see hilt Paul Mattern, now Senator Barney Mattern, whose con- stant filibustering has made him a well-known figure in Congress. With Barney was the President's lovely daughter, who has been quoted as saying that she admires Paul's intellect. After an enjoyable evening with these members of the Class of l944, I went slowly back to my hotel, glad to find that success and happiness has been the lot of this group. 1 as 1 I I ' .0l'l'l.l,C ANNA BRADSHAW. . .

Our years in high school have trained us for the future. We have gained experience as leaders and followers and we shall go on as such. We must play a part in this world. Even though it is a small part, it is still important as long as we fulfill our obligations to life. Those who follow us must play an equally important part in the world. We, the class of 1944, are just one step higher in the ladder of life. To our teachers who have helped us reach higher levels and who have been patient with us throughout these few years, we are extremely grateful. We will try constantly to live up to the standards you have set up for us. In saying farewell, we would like to leave this message to our high school comrades: Heaven is not reached at a single houndg But we build the ladder by which we rise I From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit, round by round.

S., its alumni, and friends in the eommnnity. The Tide originated and developed from demands hy students for a paper of whieh they eould he proud. The organization of Tide was direeted hy Mrs. Moore and Mr. Friedman. Sinee the staff deeided that this year we should have advertisements, eontrihutions were solieited among lot-al business people to help eover expenses. Tide also has filled a long desired need, in that it ereated a tie hetween the students in sehool and the alumni. This alumni news has prox ed to he of great interest, inasmuch as many former students are now in the armed forees or working in essential war industries. The purpose of Tide is to luring to the attention of eonnnunity and students a report of sehool aetivities. Our aim also is to print eommunity news whenever possible, in an attempt to luring ahout a fuller understanding hetween the sehool and eommunity. Tide wishes to express appreeiation to all those who have eontributed so generously to help assure its sueeess, and to Mr. Stapleton. who eonsented to undertake the responsibility of eo- advisor when Mr. lfriedman left for serx iee with the Navy.

A., arc known throughout the world. Their purpose is three-fold: to develop themsclves spiritually, physically, and mcntally. The Ada-Shri Club has had several scrap drives, each of them highly successful. This year they purchased a much-needed Bible for the auditorium. This has been appre- ciated greatly by the entire school. But there is more to the club than just service work. Each year there have been numerous dances, roller-skating parties, and hayrides to balance the work. The code by which the Girl Reserves strive to live daily is: As a Girl Reserve I will try to be Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times I will strive to face life squarely and to find and give the best u 46 1 may OFFICERS President ...... .........

This year the eluh organized a eourt to take eare ol' the violators of its laws. lneidenlly, none were senteneed to the rhair, or got life terms, but it did help in getting rid ofa lot of eon- fusion which hindered its eliicieney. This organization does more than just follow the same old daily routine of patrolling halls and lmuses. This year Uffieer Reis attended a meeting, and gave suggestions for promoting safety and told a little history eonneeted with the formation ofthe Sehool Safety Patrol.

This group, being the largest of its kind in the history of the school, made its initial performance in the middle of November. The orchestra consists of 40 members-18 of whom were proudly contrib- uted by the seventh grade. Following the performance given in the Christmas program, the orchestra lost their able leader, Mr. Sylvan Friedman, to Uncle Sam. For a short period of time, Miss K. Shriver assisted with rehearsals, until Miss Natt, a new addition to the faculty, assumed full leadership. This year was completed with a bigger and better orchestra than ever. Ii 52 .I Agana! Our band has made few public appearances but all were impressive. The personnel numbers about twenty-eight' approximately the same as other years. However there are several 11ew faces. The band, like the orchestra, was handicapped by the loss of Mr. Friedman, their conductor. This responsibility was taken over in a short period of time by Miss Natt. Under her able leadership, the band progressed quite rapidly and has given several successful public appearances. Drum Majorettes--Martha Meek, Pearl Reed, Marian Meek.

He really had a tough job of it since we didn't have a school team the year before, but how he came through! We feel this was largely due to his personality and willingness to devote his spare time to working with the fellows without financial recompense. We appreciate all that he has done for the team and their success. MR. NEFF Jim Umar, Jw. The boys this year were very glad to hear the good news that we were again going to have a basketball team. They started practicing with their new coach in the early part of November for the first game on the 23rd. Werner, having worked on his set and pivot shots, came through and sank a few each game. He played all excellent defensive game. Hollinger, our tall center, worked hard under the basket and each time came through with points. Gall, another guard, did much to help us win with his set shots from the center of the floor. Shell, a very promising Junior, played good all-round hall and came through as high scorer in several games. Shank, another Junior, led the dribbling down the floor. His peep shots helped a great deal in winning our games. Harsh, a sophomore on the team, was a very outstanding player, especially for his ability to get olf his feet for the ball. He played a good defensive game in the back line. Martin, a pivot man with his left handed shots, out-faked the opponents nearly every time. Pattishall played little varsity ball, hut along with Lefever, DeMora, Forrest, Mellott and Mattern, contributed to an outstanding .I-Vee team.

M Iss ELAINE ALWARD The girls were anxious this year to have a hockey team hut they didn'l have their former coach and it was feared they would be unable to Hnd an instructor. Finally Miss Alward consented to take the job into her hands. The girls spent many eve- nings in diligent practice. They worked faithfully along with Miss Alward. The team had only three former members, ,lean Posey, Dorothy Kreider, and Kathryn Byers. The girls, even though putting forth all their mental and physical effort, could not quite make the grade. The new members of the team lacked experience. Even though they came through in only one of their games, the spirit the team displayed in their final game would have looked to any spectator as if this was the game that would decide the season's championship. However, they did not waste their energy because hockey season was thoroughly enjoyed by all and they learned a lot from it. HOCKEY SCHEDULE WL-0 October 14-Landisville ............... ....

Simply because its membership is made up ol' all the Captains and Assistant Captains of the Intramural teams in the Junior and Senior High School, and its purpose is to lead and direct the student intramural sports program. These leadcrs become members through a democratic mannerg they are elected by each in- dividual team to act as Captains for each sport. This year the club sponsored ping-pong, chcekers, chess, and other tournaments in addition to the regular seasonal sports of hockey, basketball, volleyball and baseball. Competition varied-sometimes there would be class honor and reputation at stake and at other times intra- class teams would xie for top honors. One of the projects carried out this year by the club was their effort to keep the gymnasium clean. Rules were set aside, stressing points such as eating in the gym or wearing street shoes on the floor. The club acted as judge and jury for persons who had violated these rules. Free- dom of speech was exercised in this procedure and each person was permitted to defend himself if he felt he was being treated unfairly. WX- the leaders of 1944 humbly bequeath to our faithful followers our effort to bring better sportsmanship and fair play into all intramural sports. May you have the best of success.
