So, now, dear classmates, we must leave you, But your spirit leads us on, Though we'd like to linger, The time is growing near. To our boys who've gone in service For our freedom to preserve, We will do our part beside them, All the honors they deserve. We hid farewell to all our teachers, Who have led us through the years. Now we must go forward, Ever, ever onward, W'e, the Class- of Forty-three. CLASS OFFICERS President .................... DoN PETERSON Vice-President .... . . . ROBERT SMITH Secretary ...... ........

MARY ELLEN FOLKENROTH CLASS MOTTO With the ropes of the past, we ring the bells of the future CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS American Beauty Rose Blue and Gold 38 CLASS POEM We've reached the summit on which we gazed Just four short years ago. The life we shared in the time between Is the best we'll ever know. For 'twas youthful fun and learning to live- Our change was subtle then. Remember, we entered as girls and boys, We're leaving as women and men. The world's changed, too, and our country And the price of war is dear. It's hard to think that when peace does co That all of us can't be here. HIC But Destiny ruled that we be the tool To fashion the fate of the nation. And we're proud of the chance to prove the trus That is placed in our generation. I When darkness dissolves, when the world's wounds And our souls, though spent with giving, Must rebloom as the sleeping bulbs do in spring, For the future belongs to the living. May that future be peaceful and filled with joy For the Class of Forty-three. May we often unite through memory's chain, Dear West York High, with thee. By MARILYN CLASS ADVISER Curvin A. Wentz 39 is at war, heal, Kmnuzn The Class History OI' AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SENIOR STANDING ON THE threshold of a new life, we pause a moment to look back over the years. We fail to realize how time flies until all is gone and we have only the memory. It can be compared, we are told, to drinking cool, sweet wine in which there is no flavor until it is gone, then the faint flavor remaining on one's lips seems to be the best. We have only the sweet flavor of memory. That is living-the best of it. It is the gods' way of compensating for what they have failed to do. We look back to see only the things we like to see. Now, standing on this new threshold, we look back to yesterday. Re- member when we were freshmen? How frightened and awe-stricken we were. We never were sure of ourselves except in the sanctuary of our homes. We were noticed that year when we selected our class colors of blue and gold. We sought answers for everything, but there are some answers we have not received. Then, the wonderful moment of being a sophomore. The swagger that some of us adopted. We did not try to learn anything new. We were too intoxicated with our new status. There was no more uncertainty, and we can all recall what difficulty we had in selecting the felt. goods in our class colors. Each person thought his selection was certainly the best. As a climax to that intoxication, the class promoted a Hallowe'en party in the gymnasium'. Cider and pumpkin pie sunk in the shadows when members sponsored an old-fashioned umedicine show. Our junior year was somewhat like our freshman yearg we found our- selves again seeking answers to questions. We real-ized that our learning was affecting us a great deal. Some of this realization was exemplified in the selection of class jewelry. We can never forget the anxiety of waiting for those valuable pieces and the fear that they would not arrive for Christmas. Regardless of all the extra-curricular activities, members found time to' participate in the junior play, a'Wild Autumnf, Those in it will keep the memories of the fun enacting it. And then the last stretch-we were seniors, the 'tbig shots. In this, our home stretch, various members of the class donned theatrical garb to make our senior play, '5Porter House Stakef, a success. Then in early May, as a preliminary to commencement, name cards flew through the high school like a gust of wind. Closing the stretch with commencement, we realized when it became the past that we had lived the best part of our lives. These are our disappearing memories. I write this to bring back the flavor that is growing much too faint. When youth has passed away, we will have these memories to brighten our old age.

H. lVl,m1'lN UNDER THE GUIDANCE of President Smith, student government reached a new high at West York High School this year by acting as a balance hetween students and faculty. Due to the splendid cooperation and understanding of all, many projects were completed. Most important were two gigantic war bond and stamp drives, netting nearly forty thousand dollars. Three assembly programs were presented: a Dr. I. quiz program, a play entitled 4'For the Durationf' with a student director, Margaret Wise, and an amateur show displaying student talent. The Council, through the various classes, sent two letters, one in Decent'- her and one in February, to West York alumni in the Armed Forces. Judg- ing hy the many replies, the Council feels this type of project should he carried on another year. The home room presidents, the presidents of the three upper classes, and four non-resident students from the junior and senior classes compose the Council. 51 Honor Society President . .,.. .. .. lJoN PILTIJRSUN Sevretury . . ..........

ORNER THE SENIOR HIGH GIRL RESERVES, with a membership of forty-five, planned the year's program, including social activities and service projects, during the first few weeks of school. The social activities began with a Hallowe'en party, the most important affair of the year, held in the garage at the home of Mary Ellen Folken- roth. Friends were invited and the entire group participated in a scavenger hunt over the borough, with prizes being awarded to the group locating the largest number of articles. After the hunt, refreshments were served. Other socials during the winter included a skating party at White Rose Arena in cooperation with the Inter-Club Council of the Y. W. C. A. of York, a covered dish social at the Y. W. C. A., a bowling party, and a theater party. Service projects included tl1e sponsoring of the January Dance, with Eddie Debes Orchestra providing the music, knitting squares for afghans for the American Red Cross, and preparing tin cans at the Y. W. C. A. for the salvage program. To aid needy people in mountainous sections of the country, the Club prom'oted a drive for clothes which were either outwom or unused. In order to cultivate interest in the project, a Cinderella Ball was held, with each guest wearing the clothes she wished to give. At Easter time, the girls attended St. James Lutheran Church in a body. Throughout the year, various speakers delivered interesting talks to the members: Mrs. Paul Koenig, of Spring Grove, on her travels in Mexico and the Southwest, Miss Ruth Seymour, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., about service to the community, Miss Hazel Moore, Girl Reserve Secretary, con- cerning the Girl Reserve Conference and camp, and Miss Orner on man- nrs, customs, and etiquette. Chairmen of the committees for the year were: Program, Ruth Heindel, Social, Gertrude Chalfant, Service, Shirley Spangler, Chaplain, Miriam Sowers, and Inter-Club Representative, Gloria Loyd. Miss Orner and Joyce Cleaver represented the local group at the Eastern Girl Reserve Conference held from June 27 to July 3, at Mary Lyons School, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. 55 Junior Red Cross President ...... ......,.....,............. ....

The organization donated twenty-five dollars to the American Red Cross during its annual drive. At the same time, members collected books and money to buy books for soldiers. To eam money to complete the above named projects, volunteer mem- bers assembled nests or partitions for ice cream boxes at the Keystone Box Factory twenty evenings after school. Two skating parties and a dance were sponsored by the group during the year. 57 Junior Girl Reserves President ...... ....... M ARIE MOLISON Vive-President ...........

The purpose of the nine-year-old Club is to administer the Library to the student body. Membership in the Club depends upon char- acter, scholarship, and general atttiude. Initiation of new members and election of ollicers for the following year is held at a social meeting toward the end of the school year. In addition to the regular meetings, members enjoy hikes, social outings, and skating parties. At Christmas, the Club decorated a tree for the Library. For Book Wfeek, the student body came to the Library to see table dis- plays covering timely subjects. Vlfesterns, mysteries, and technical books, as requested by the Red Cross, were collected and cheerfully given to the armed forces. The bi-weekly meetings were spent i11 discussing facts about this high school library as well as other libraries. Mrs. Criswell and members of the Club explained the uses of various files, the card catalogue, a11d the ar- rangement of books. The uses and structure of the card catalogue were stressed particularly during the year. 60 Citamard Society President ....... .... ,I ACK Nrzwrolrr Vice-l'resir1w1t ....

JI-zwmn' EVERYONE ON STAGE! CURTAIN GOING UP! This is all the eye of an outsider may see of the functioning of the Dramatic Club. But the Citamard Society learned that the dazzle of the bright lights is only the ultimate goal. The Club, organized in 1939, has proved its value to the school by par- ticipating in several presentations for the National Tuberculosis Society over VV U R K alld by presenting skits ill assembly and for P.'l'.A. programs. The major production of the year, L'Believe It or Not, was a success both financially and dramatically. Those persons not participating in the play received valuable experience serving on committees, where they learned that committees are as important as the cast. Although many seniors will be leaving the Club this year., they will take with them many fond memories of' amusing times and experiences enjoyed, as well as the satisfaction that faithful members will continue to uphold the standards of the Society. 61 French Club President ......

During the Christmas season, the Club learned of the French Noel, through student speeches on holiday customs, sang carols in French, and decorated Room Fifteen with seasonal articles and French posters. Correspondence with students of France has been impossible for quite some time due to world conditions. Vllest York club members corre- sponded with students in Canada, who told of Canada's climate, people, and customs. As a climax to the year's activities, the club presented La Faim Est Un Grande Inventeurf' a short play in five scenes, at a special Language Department assembly.

WENTZ AFTER SURMOUNTING MANY DIFFICULTIES, the West York High Baird this year provided practical experience for forty young musicians. Arousing spirit and adding color at football and basketball games, par- ticipating in the Hanover Hallowe'en Parade, presenting an assembly con- cert, escorting draftees to the railway station, and taking parti in the Music Festival at Mt. Rose High School were its major activities. Mary Jane Boone, a member of the junior class, served as drum major- ette for the year. Following the induction of Director David A. Thoman into the Armed Services, another faculty member, Mr. Alvin H. Souerwine, assumed the directorslrip for several weeks. Then ,lack Casseday and Paul Eyster were appointed acting director and student director, respectively. Letters were presented to qualifying members by the Music Department al the close of the year. 66 GAME TIME, 'ICIS booms ovun 6145 gl I f 1 n f' l ' M NRE 'L P Q SPURT The Champions BOYS, BASKETBALL TEAM Boys' Senior High Basketball THE YORK COUNTY SCHOLASTIC Basketball League officially opened its twentieth season on December 15, 1942, with the spectre of war casting a shadow over the outlook for the future. The principal problem in the mind of athletic officials was that of transportation, but we in West York were confident that we could overcome the travel problem, and on pre- season outlook felt that we would have a team that, barring predestined handicaps, would be a contender for championship honors. Our optimism in the latter case was based on the type of squad that reported to Coach Smith for the initial workout. In this group were eleven boys who mentally and physically had that something of which champions are m'ade. They were Francis Miller and Don Peterson, varsity forwards of last year, Ken Krout, Bob Neiman, Don Zimmerman, Dave Boyer, Hlld Charlie Arnold of last year's Junior Varsity, and Herb Boyer, Merle Berkheimer, and Art Lentz, who graduated from Coach Walter,s Junior High School Team. With Miller and Peterson as a nucleus, Coach Smith proceeded to mold a quintet which lived up to all expectations. They finished the season with the enviable record of eleven league games won, one lost, brought to West York its first Scholastic League Championship in twenty years, and fought its way to the finals in the Class B, P. I. A. A. Tournament, only to be beaten by Swatara Township by two points. Coach Smitlfs passers opened their season in impressive fashion, when Don Peterson's 16 points paced his teammates to a 49-21 victory over Spring Grove, last year's league champions. Red Lion, with a 33-13 win over Wlrightsville, and York Catholic,s 35-25 conquest over North York, seem'ed to indicate that the season would evolve into a three-way battle with the outcome in doubt until the final games were played. Coaches and players seemed to sense such a possibility, and each game wasa played as though it was the actual championship game. After disposing of North York, 40-16, and York Catholic, 27-11, our boys were defeated by the Alumni 46-28, and in turn defeated Dallastown 52-19. Then that ne'er-to-be-forgotten game at Red Lion, when with but two minutes to go the score 25-24, Roseman and Stein of the Lions tossed successive goals to clinch the victory 27-25, and thus create a tie between these two rivals-a tie which continued until each team had won nine games and lost one, with two games to be played. One of these two games would bring these two teams together-the winner without doubt-the league champion. The day of that game arrived, February 12. On that February night nearly seven hundred fans-followers of both teams-crowded every bit of space in the West York Gymnasium: 69 When the blast of the referees's whistle signaled time to start the game, players and fans were tense, expectant. All realized the prize at stake. To the winner-glory, to the loser-a desire to be forgotten. From the beginning it was evident that West York's calm, more confident attitude would be a decided advantage. As the game progressed, goal after goal proved the fact. The offensive and defensive play so demoralized Coach Nitohkey's boys that Co-Captain Francis Miller was able to score 20 points-one less than the entire Red Lion team, with the final score West York 34, Bed Lion 21. After disposing of a very weak Wrightsville team, 60-18, the Blue and White passers defeated Manchester of the Northern Division, 47-12, to gain their first league championship. A West York team for the first time entered that mythical L'Hall of Champions upon whose doors they have knocked these many years. This championship gave Coach Smith and his squad the right to partici- pate in the Class B, P. I. A. A. Tournament. Their first opponent-Arendts- ville, champions of Adams County, was defeated-the score 43-39. Perfection in foul shooting determined the ultimate winner. Caging 11 fouls in 18 tries while committing only 7 fouls marked the difference be- tween defeat and victory. Boiling Springs, our semi-final opponent, presented a team of rough and ready ball players wfhose ability to commit 17 fouls proved their undoing. Miller, Peterson, and Krout proceeded to cage 14 of the 17 fouls allowed them, which with ten field goals supplied by Miller, Peterson, and Herb Boyer moved West York into the finals by a score of 34-28. And then in that final game-that undefinable psychological quirk in the human make-up which causes men to do unexplainable things, made its appearance. After outplaying Swatara Township in the first period the Blue and W'hite suffered a temporary collapse during tl1e second, scored but one point in that period and ended the half trailing 21-11. During the second half the Coach Smith boys slowly whittled down that five-goal margin point by point, but when the final whistle sounded they were trail- ing by two points-and lost 40-38. The students of West York have every reason to be proud of Coach Smith and the eleven boys who made up West York's greatest basketball team. They are examples of the boys and men who., in the battle for the right to live without fear, without want, to speak and worship as they choose, will forever keep America Free. 70 AT LONG LAST CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHIES York County Scholastic Basketball League xl Junior High Basketball WITH THE basketball season ajust around the corneri' the prospects of having a Junior High School basketball team were not very encouraging. Coach Luke Sauder had become Ensign Luke Sauder of Uncle Sam's Navy -Coach Richard Walters had gone to another position. But as every cloud has its silver lining so the students received their Gray of sun- shinen when Mr. Rinehart, who had coached championship teams in 1936-37 and 1937-38, was persuaded to tutor the squad. Beginning with a group of about twenty boys, none of whom had much varsity experience, Coach Rinehart began the difficult task of molding five boys into a functioning unit. Day after day the boys toiled, looking forward to the time they could step upon the court and make use of the important things they had been taught. The team made its debut on December 15, meeting the defending cham- pions, Spring Grove, at Spring Grove. After leading the champions 16-15 at half time, the boys in Blue and White faltered during the second half and finished on the short end of a 30-26 score. That loss was followed by four others before Coach Rinehartis boys could crash the win column at the expense of their old rivals, Red Lion. Brown had a 'thot handi' that night and whis 19 points paced his teammates to a 39-25 victory. Wins over Edgar Fahs Smith 30-28, Mt. Wolf 26-16, and Red Lion 36-18 gave Coach Rinehart's basketeers a season record of four wins and eight losses, a record identical with that of last year's team. 72 Girls, Basketball CHAMPIONS FURTY-FIVE BLUE AND WHITE clad lassies reported to Miss llgen- fritz for their initial practice imhued with one desirefto again become champions of the York County Girls, Scholastic Basketball League. That desire arose from the fact that two previous teams coached hy lVliss llgen- fritz had heen champions and a third team the runner-up in tht- six years the league has operated. A veteran team composed of Henry, Wlildasin and King at forward: Cleaver, Sowers and Cunningham at guard, opened the season with a very impressive 28-22 victory over Manchester. Twenty Wlest York girls partici- pated in the 45-17 conquest of Dallastown, but these two games served as the prelude to Llll unexpected defeat. Janice Nlelhorn and her Y. C. ll. teammates completely demoralized the Wlest York girls to earn a hard fight and well earned victory, 21-18. This game, for the time, '4houneed Captain Cleaver and her aides out of league leadership, but not for long. North York and Dover, newcomers to the league, were defeated 38-9 and 24-14, and then the Hlrong of Sports? An inspired North York team out- played the Vfest York lassies to win the season's most thrilling game, I7-16. The next five games saw the Blue and Wlhite sextette play hall in the manner in which they had been taught, and four of the five games were won with comparative ease. The team finished the league season with 9 wins and 1 loss, and another Cllampionship Trophy will adorn our trophy case. T3 Football MY DIARY I W ith apologies to the Press! Sept. 6.

Coach Richards' team scored 13 points to the opponents' 350 during season. 74 Wrestling EVEN THOUGH thirty-five candidates reported to Coach Richards, pros- pects for the season did not appear very encouraging. The District Three Wrestlinlg Conference had disbanded, and four of the nine meets already scheduled had been cancelled by the opponents because of the ban on transportation. Foremost among these thirty-five candidates were Carl Bowser and Bob- bie Brown, both veterans of last year's team and also District Champions. With these two grapplers as a nucleus, Coach Richards built a team that completed the season with eight victories in ten meets. The Blue and White matmen opened their season by defeating a star- studdedw Alumni team 30-25. Then followed victories over thc Alumni and Manheim, a loss to Mercersburg Academy Junior Varsity, and then vic- tories over Lebanon, Hanover, Hershey, Manheim and F. St M. Academy before Hannover administered the second and last defeat of the season. In the Eighth Annual District Tournament held in West York for the second consecutive year, Coach Bichard's team placed second to Lancaster for the unofficial team championship 25-21. These points were produced by three champions, Eugene Brady495 lb., Bobbie Brown-112 lb., and Carl Bowser-120 lb., and two runners-up, Robert Strausbaugh-103 lb., and Howard Crist-185 lb. West York has in seven previous years sent District Champions to the State VVrestling1 Tournament, but again failed to produce a state champion. T5 Hockey PHYSICAL FITNESS is as important for girls and women as for boys and me11. Boys must be made ready to serve with the Armed Forces, girls must be prepared to carry on work which is directly related to the winning of the war, even though not on the lighting front. Preparation for this work means to carry on certain activities which will contribute to the physical fitness and to the development of certain skills in girls which will make it possible for them to meet their new responsibilities. In order to keep, to achieve these desires, and to supplement the already popular intra-mural swimming and inter-school basketball, Miss Ilgenfritz this year introduced girls, intra-mural field hockey. This game offered an opportunity for the girls to participate in an outdoor game that will de- velop not only speed, strength, and endurance, but desirable character traits as well. That this game will S0011 enjoy the popularity of its predecessor is at- tested by the squad of forty girls who were taught the fundamentals-the stick carry, the dribble, the left-hand lunge, right hand lunge., etcetera., and then participated in several intra-squad contests. If the interest in this sport is maintained, the future may see field hockey join basketball as a part of our inter-school athletic program. T6 Girls, Sport Club THIS GIRLS, SPORT CLUB of the Yvest York Higll School was 0I'fLillliZf'll ill order to illlI'OIlllCC a lJI'0gI'i1Hl of activities which W0lllll l'OlllI'ilNll0 to the pllysical fitness of girls by SllplllCll16lllQillg the rolltille work ill the gynlnasium.

Colnpetitive QIZIIIIPS such as hockey, basketball, Lllltl volleyball, illdividllal sports such as Swllllllllllg. Sixty girls from grades eight to twelve participated ill the program which began witll itll introduction to the fllllfl1llll6llUJlS Lllltl team work involved ill field hockey. When cooler weather drove the girls indoors forty-five girls reported for instruction ill basketball. From this group was selected the squad that represellted Wlest York ill illt6l'SCll0lilSl,iC competition itllll becanle champions of the Girls' Basketball League. During the second semester one or two hours CtlCll week were spent ill the Y. WY. C. A. pool, wllere practically all the members of the club were taught to swim Lllltl dive. Emphasis ill these classes was placed on swilll- ming as a means of saving a life ratller tllan SWiIlllllillg as a lll0tl6 of recre- atioll. llltra-lllural volleyball, always popular ill West York Higll School, served as a climax to the year's progranl. The Girls' Sport Club, ill its record of useful service to both individual Lllltl school, has lJOCOlllP another of our Illlllly worthwhile extra-curricular activities. TT Athletic Council ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES in our High School are supervised by an Ath- lctic Council colnposcfl of a representative from the Board of Education and the Alumni Association, the Supervising Principal, and five nicmhcrs ol' the faculty, including the coaches of all sports. This group plans and seeks to maintain a program of physical education, inchuling athletic contests, which will prove the greatest value to the largcst nunnher of boys and girls ill our school.

The action centered around Aloysius the Fourth, a South American race horse., presented to the Porter family by a rich uncle. Mr. Porter, distracted by the prospect of losing his curio business., al- lowed the younger members of the family and their friends to devise a scheme whereby Aloysius might be entered in a race. Although Aloysiun forfeited the race by jumping a fence and heading for home, the day was saved when Uncle Frederick sent Sydney fifty-five thousand dollars because he had ridden Aloysius in the race. 80 DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY Believe It Or Notv CAST Philip Dunn... .....

The entire action of the play took place in the living room of Mrs. Stewart's country home, in an unusual setting designed by Mina Augusta King and constructed by Alvin H. Souerwine. Philip Dunn, a young writer, sold his first story to 'LTrue Tales Maga- zine and then learned that the editor, James Reynolds, was coming to check on the truth of the story. Since Philis story was pure imagination, he and his secretary, Anne, plotted a way to verify the characters and incidents. The fun began when they mistook the editor for an Englishman, the Englishman for an imposter, and Philip,s aristocratic father for the editor. But all ended happily when Phil was recognized as a successful novelist, became reinstated with his family, and married his secretary. 81 OPERETTA Bob Foster ...... Millie Foster . .... ..

Lois was already engaged to Hiram Macljuflle, Whom Millie considered highly undesirable. Hiram insisted on keeping the engagement a secret, because his rich uncle was dying and Hiram expected to inherit his money. However, this uncle was opposed to actresses, and Lois had won a prize in an amateur contest. Millie announced the engagement of Lois and Leonard at a party, much to their surprise. This brought further complications. Wlieli the curtain was drawn, all situations were denouement. 82 A nnual A wards Most Valuable Football Playvr ........ ...........

History teaches many things. Perhaps the most significant lesson for us to remember from World War I is the fact the war ended. It seems reasonable to suppose that the pattern of war may he repeated, that the guns of War may come back home to grace the Village Green. The high prices of manufactured destruction may he suddenly deflated when the cease firing order comes. Learn to live in a future that includes a world at peace.
