We are conscious of many emotional conditions which are bound to exist in a war-torn world, both in the home and at school. We are eagerly looking for- ward to that day when this war shall end, and we are hoping that national strife, envy, and greed shall be banished forever. May every member of this class accept his or her full responsibility as a graduate and cheerfully con- tribute to our Nation's success, whatever talents he or she may possess. Most cordially yours, It is with a keen regret that I write this farewell message to the class of 1944. For a number of years we have striven for and looked forward to the Com- mencement Day, but now that it has arrived we are all poignantly conscious that it means a separation and an end of many oi our most pleasant and valuable associations. It means the conclusion of the most won- derful years ol work, development, and pleasure. Commencement in reality means The Beginning. For this Beginning we have always tried to do our utmost to prepare you for a real life of service. Our best wishes accompany you on life's journey, and we trust you will always remain loyal to your Alma Mater. Always remember your motto, Ever onward for God and Country.

March in with song and courage highg now ever on To meet Life. Page 22 Historical Happenings of the Class of 1944 Left to right-Mr. Wise, Mr. Wentz, and Mr. Beckmyer IN THE FALL OF l94l, one hundred sixty-three young hopefuls stood on the threshold of new and unknown highways of learning. Hazed by our upper- classmen, but timid, shy and fiercely proud of our humble position and determined to make good, we advanced through the Hallowed Halls of Knowledge. 1942 found us more determined than ever. We displayed that determination by choosing blue and steel as our class colors-blue symbolizing high ideals, and the steel denoting our courage to strive ever upward toward those ideals. Many of us entered into extra-curricular activities, striving to win the crown of laurel for our noble brows. Second only to our overlords, the seniors, we, as juniors, received greater social prominence than ever before. All the gold of King Midas could not have compared with the magnificent rings of the junior class which inspired much awe and admiration in the under-classmen fwhen they finally arrivedl. If you can picture the variety of emotions of General Doolittle and his men when they took to the air from the decks of the Shangri-La on their way to bomb Tokyo, only then can you imagine the wild joys and exultant feelings we possessed when we became seniors in the fall of 1943. This eventful year was filled with many and happy activitiesg namely, the production of the mystery comedy The Black Hawkp editing of the La Memoriap the traditonal elusive chemistry unknowns, and perfect typing papers-all culminating in our graduation. With the knife of Fate, we carved our niche in the heart of the tree of life. This is a record of our scholastic, athletic, and social achievement of which we may be justly proud. Bravely, but unsurely, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater. We leave her cherished protection to set forth upon our mission of restoring happiness and order to a confused and chaotic world. Page 23 CLASS POEM By HELEN STUMP A rose has long been pressed within the pages of a book, A book that, like the rose, now has an aged mellowed look, The pages crackle as they turn, the cover's filled with dust. And from disuse this old work has that odd, faint smell ol must. Each petal is a memory, each thorn some trick af fate, And I thought of those, whom long ago, I had called classmate, I thought of teachers, studies, fun, The plays we held, and the games we won. One petal loosed itself and slowly fluttered to the floor, And with that slow falling came some dismal thoughts of warg A war that ravaged onward throughout our years at school, A war that used our classmates as its destructive tool. But now it is over, and all of it's past, But thoughts will remain while memories last. CLASS MOTTO Ever onward for God and country CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS Talisman Rose Blue and Steel CLASS SONG By THELMA Srorruzmvsx and CARL S'roUc.H Tune-When Twilight Comes Verse As the years go swiftly drifting by We, the Class of Forty-four confess That our love for thee shall never die And our memories are filled with our happiness. Chorus Dear West York High, Dear West York High, We're thinking of you, In these days of strife, Dear West York High, We'll try our best We'1l ever be true, To do what is right. And all the mem'ries we cherish For God and country, and freedom Will live in our hearts. E'er onward we'll strive. Friends that are true, This is our dream. Although now We're apart, West York High.

JEAN MoUL Vice-President . ROBERT BROWN Adviser .. A. H. MARTIN ORGANIZING FOR ITS sixth year, the Student Council encouraged more student participation in all school activities which develop a well-rounded girl or boy, physically and mentally. Its first social project was the successful record dance held on the ninth of Cctober in the gymnatorium. Early in November, the Council sent mimeographed letters about school activities to the two hundred ninety-four alumni who were then in the Armed Forces. This project was performed under the supervision of Miss Anna L. Morris by a committee composed of Richard Elicker, chairmang Richard Tome, and Carlton Hershner. In the further interest of the rapidly increasing number of our alumni in the service, the Council replaced the service flags with a new one with changeable numerals. During the assembly period on the fifteenth of December, the Council spon- sored an amateur program. Having been judged by the applause of the student body, the successful contestants received cash prizes. In February, a committee composed of lean Moul, chairmang Gertrude Chalfant, Marie Molison, and Betty Smith sent a second letter to the alumni in service, including a complete list obtained from the files in the high school office of the addresses of fellow alumni servicemen.

ORNER MEETING ON ALTERNATE WEDNESDAYS, forty-eight Senior High School Girl Reserves successfully carried on a year lull ot tun and service. Folding seals tor the Tuberculosis Society ot York, making clever favors tor the York Hospital, singing on the Court House steps at Christmas with other Girl Reserves, filling an Easter basket, and making joke and cross-word puzzle books tor the Red Cross constituted the service projects. A covered dish supper at the Y. VV. C. A., an evening at the theater, numer- ous bowling parties, and the sponsoring ot the Christmas Dance with the Senior Hi-Y composed the club's social calendar for the year. To benefit all ot its members, the club discussed the personality ol the school girl. For its assembly program, the club presented the comedy Stuffed Owls under the direction ot Ruth Heindel. Gloria Loyd and Shirley Spangler attended the Eastern Girl Reserve Confer- ence in New Iersey and the Setting-Up Conference in Harrisburg, respectively. Committee chairmen were Program, lean Moulg Service, Ie-an Hutchinsong and Inter-Club Representatives, Marie Molison and Phyllis Doll.

T HELMA STOTTLEMYER IOINING THE CITAMARD SOCIETY was the beginning of the stage careers of many hopeful young Thespians. Practice in the various breathing exercises, tests of good posture and school- ing in diction kept these budding Hamlets and Portias occupied each Monday during activity period. ' The spring production, a comedy entitled Till Further Orders, was one of the year's highlights in entertainment. In sponsoring several assembly plays, the society established for itself a high reputation which gives promise of many more successful performances. Debating Club RESOLVED: That the United States should join in reconstituting the League of Nations was the question under discussion by the West York Debating Club of 1943-44, directed most capably by Mr. I. Wesley Wise. In former years, debates were held between the Gettysburg, Hanover, and West York High Schools. This year, however, Hanover withdrew from the League two days prior to the scheduled debate. As a result, West York debated with only Gettysburg. The West York affirmative team, composed of Catharine Moore and Rodney Eyster, traveled to Gettysburg and lost by a 2 to l decision. Phyllis Hood and Marie Molison upheld the negative side of the question, losing by a 2 to l decision to Gettysburg's affirmative. The purpose of the Club is to stimulate interest in current affairs and to give the debaters experience in public speaking.

Stenger did much to make this a successful year for the band. Each Tuesday, Mr. Stenger conducted sectional meetings of the band, so that the young musicians might have a better understanding of their music. In March, the band played a concert for the Pennsylvania Bandmasters' Association, which convened in our gyrnnatorium. Mary Iane Boone was drum majorette. The band also played at assemblies and aroused spirit at the football games.

SHIRLEY SPANGLER HAVING RECEIVED ITS CHARTER in March, 1938, the West York Chapter of the National Honor Society is striving to uphold the standards by which mem- bers are elected: scholarship, leadership, service and character. Once each semester, juniors and seniors are received into membership during an impressive candlelight service. To be eligible for membership, a candidate must have attained a scholastic average of ninety per cent throughout his school career and have taken part in promoting the general welfare of the school. To be a member of this society is a recognition toward which all stu- dents should strive. A gold pin, representing the flaming torch, emblem of the society, a mem- bership card, and a certificate are presented to each pupil upon his election to the society. New officers of the society are elected following each installation service, as no pupil may serve more than one term in any office. First semester officers were President, Carlton Hershnerg Secretary, Iean Moulp and Treasurer, William Albrecht. Library Club President ......,... ........ I EAN Moui. Scribe . . ...........

CONTINUING THE PRACTICE of having student library assistants, eighteen girls and boys served in this capacity during their study periods this year. These students were chosen for their accuracy, dependability, character, scholarship, and general attitude, which traits qualified them for membership in the Library Club. Although a merry hike early in the fall launched the club in its program, much of the year's activities centered upon the business of insuring a smoothly running library. Club members acquainted themselves and their associates with new books through a series of short book reviews during the semi- monthly meetings. A new idea for bringing new book titles before the students was tried: each week a group of ten new books to be placed in circulation was typed and placed on the bulletin board of each home room. In this way pupils who were unable to get to the library each week were, nevertheless, able to follow book news. The Library Club has cheerfully followed the able leadership of Mrs. Cris- well these last ten years, and we willingly pledge our loyalty to her successor, Miss lean E. Gray, of Wexford, Pennsylvania. Page 43 f1!iQ-QfI.Vle I UPPER PICTURE: First Row-Marguerite Smith, Ruby Erb, Jeanne Myers. Carolyn Kerr. Jeanne Good. Ruth Heindel. Jean Hutchinson.

With a total membership of thirty-nine, this organization completed many useful projects in its meetings. In cooperation with the Senior High Girl Reserves, the Hi-Y Club sponsored the December dance, with Eddie Debes and his orchestra, and also convened with them for a discussion on boy and girl relationships. A reorganization ot the Club in February was necessitated by Dave Boyer, former secretary's, being inducted into the serdive, and Dale Gentzler, former presidents moving to Virginia.

Wrestling WITH TEN WRESTLERS from last year's varsity returning and many new boys reporting, a successful season was indicated from the first day oi practice. In fact, the champions of District Three Wrestling Conference were undefeated. The grapplers opened the season by defeating Manheim by a close score. Victories over Hershey, Lancaster, Patton Trade, Manheim, and Mercersburg placed West York in first place in the District Three Wrestling Conference. West York defeated Mercersburg twice for the first time in eight years. West York took first place in the District Tournament by having six District Champions: Iohn Loose, Eugene Brady, Carl Bowser, Alvin Wildasin, lack Diehl, and Howard Crist. Donald Strausbaugh, Robert Brown, Eugene Bahn, Elwood Bahn, and Dean Snyder were deieated in the preliminary and semi- final bouts. West York again failed to produce a State Champion, probably because Howard Crist was unable to make the trip to State College because of illness. However, Iotn Loose, Carl Bowser, and Alvin Wildasin participated in the semi-final bouts. Eugene Brady and Iack Diehl were defeated in the preliminaries. The squad expresses gratitude to Coach Richards for his perseverance and loyalty to the team. Coach Richards reported for active Navy duty on March 23. Good luck to a good coach!

Senior High Basketball AGAIN THE WEST YORK SENIOR HIGH SQUAD captured the coveted Scho- lastic League Championship, this time to fight their way to the semi-finals of Class B of the P. I. A. A. Tournament. Coach Smith's quintet had tor its nucleus Zeno Lentz and Herb Boyer, varsity men from last year, supplemented by Charlie Arnold, Merle Berkheimer, and Bill Klinedinst. The season opened with an unusually exciting game as West York defeated Spring Grove 24 to 20 in an extra allotted period. Continuing this pace, West York won over North York, Red Lion, Wrightsville, and York Catholic. The to-be champions, however, bowed to Dallastown by a 20-19 decision. The second half of the season was equally as thrilling as the first, but ended with a surprise game in which York Catholic High defeated West York 21-17. Nevertheless, the boys had reached their goal. ln the P. I. A. A. Tournament, Coach Smith and his lads made a forward stride by defeating Delta 67-13, to attain the second championship in as many years. Then, champions of York County, the squad was victorious over Arendtsville, champions of Adams County. Reaching the semi-finals, the boys seemed to have lost their foul shooting ability and they bowed to Camp Hill by a 41-37 decision. Coach Smith and his boys deserve a great deal of credit for attaining this record for West York, and We hope that it may continue next year: yes, and for many years to come.

Iunior High Basketball ATTAINING THE YORK COUNTY IUNIOR HIGH SCHOLASTIC LEAGUE TITLE by tallying three hundred ninety-two points against the two hundred sixty-iive points of their opponents, the apparent stars of West York's future varsity squad again proved that sportsmanship and spirit are essential factors in attaining victory. Leading in the scoring of goals were Dick Shelton, Bill Brown, Lindy Kline- dinst, and Richard Kerr, who accounted for a phenomenal three hundred thirty- eight points. Apparently these lads, along with their teammates, possessed a great deal ot playing ability and skill, for they recorded ten wins against two losses. The boys yielded to only the Mount Rose and Red Lion teams. Although the Iunior High squad emerged victorious, the success ot these lads lies in Coach Charles Rinehart's rigid training, sound instructions, and encouragement. With this evidence in view, it is certain that the Senior High boys will be supplemented with valuable players next season, Page 55 .,..-H, fm.- -v-v.qwyTM1u- 'Mx -Nw--' ATHLETIC COUNCIL First Row-Mr. Gross CPresident of the School Boardl, Mr. Poll tfaculty Manager of Athleticsl, Mr. llValker tTreasurer of the Athletic Councill, Mr. Ioseph tAlumni Representative of the Athletic Councill.

The action of the play centered in the home of Ronnie Phipps, wealthy Englishman and fiancee of Brenda Harvey, in a setting designed by Mrs. Arthur Smith and constructed by Alvin Souerwine. Trouble was incited by the appearance of Carol Mayson, an old friend of Ronnie's sister, who planned a marriage to a man from the Labour Exchange. Mrs. Harvey, Mr. Mayson and Swindon Stagg plotted together to break up the marriages of Brenda and Ronnie and Carol and Alan, the Labour Ex- change man. When their plots were uncovered by Alan, they left their children to decide their own fates instead of trying to force their wills. f X 'N-jflgll, ' . ff ' W 1 , 9 M9 I 224 -' 1 ' , N , ,K Q .

C., bringing you, through the courtesy of the Klindinst Co., famous makers of Klinedinst Uppers and Lowers. the day by day accounts of the happenings in and around our nation's capital this beautiful morning of May 25, 1965. This much-talked-of incident occurred at 9:30 Monday morning when three timid ladies from West York, Pennsylvania, stepped from the train at Pennsyl- vania Station. Betty Smyser, Drusilla Hoke, and Ruth Sechrist timidly let the red cap take their bags to a waiting taxi where they discovered their driver to be none other than Luther Brokenshire, a member of their class of '44, who took them to a fashionable hotel where they arranged for accommodations with Robert Hoke, hotel proprietor. The receptionist, Miriam Sowers, suggested that the trio spend the evening at the Club E1 Broco, just around the corner. With a great deal of reluctance, they entered the fashionable night spot and were directed to a table by Leon Paxton, head waiter. Three hat check girls, Phyllis Alwood, Evelyn Howard, and Delores Zellers, attracted attention in their brilliant red costumes. The floor show, with Philip Woltman as master of ceremonies, was just be- ginning. Bill Albrecht's Boys, with Doris Anderson as vocalist, was the name band for the night. The most exciting part of the entertainment was a daring bubble dance by Elva Beck. The ladies left early in order to be up bright and early the next morning for the big celebration. Thouasnds of anxious Americans milled the area around the enormous building that was to be dedicated by the newly-elected President, Carlton Hershner. The building was decorated by that famous decorator Esther Wentzler. The President was accompanied by Vice-President lean Moul and his secre- tary, Shirley Spangler, as well as the new cabinet members: Secretary of State, Aubrey Klinefelterp Secretary of the Treasury, Iohn Looseg Secretary of War, Richard Elickerg Secretary of the Navy, Ioseph Heidlerg Secretary of the Interior, Helen Scotty Attorney General, Robert Kellerg Secretary of Agriculture, Gladden Gingerichg Secretary of Labor, Dorothy Witmanp and Postmaster General, Richard Tome. After the dedication, Phyllis Hood, the exciting new movie queen, gave sev- eral enjoyable characterizations, including one of a private secretary to an architectural engineer. Helen Stump, star reporter of the Washington News, owned and operated by Rodger Baker, covered the dedication for the benefit of thousands who were unable to attend the elaborate affair. The girls' guide, Dale Gentzler, suggested they visit the famous Pentagon Building where they discovered Doreen Hamme, Arlene Spangler, Marcella Shearer, Charlotte Zearfoss, and Norma Iean Smith pounding typewriters, the same job they have held for twenty years. In order to take a few souvenirs home, they visited one of Washington's big department stores. In the elevator they saw lean Hutchinson, winner of the Martin Prize of 1950 for her amazinng new discovery, Mute Hoot, the perma- nent hair remover, and Ianet Fahs, who stood there nervously making funny Page 68 faces. We later learned that Ianet was Superintendent of Nurses at a state institution. The elevator man, Philip Becker, left the girls off at the third floor, where they were amused to find Carrol Manherz demonstrating the proper way to wax floors, and Glenn March, floor walker, who had failed to notice the newly waxed floor, much to his chagrin. That afternoon they went to the opera to hear Thelma Stottlemyer sing the famous role of Carmen. Don Iuan was portrayed by Carl Stough, the gypsy chorus was composed of Iune Gross, Ruth Heindel, Anna Keeney, Audrey Kopp, Ieanette Miller, Catharine Moore, and Ieanne Myersp and David Boyer was the masterful Toreador. During the intermission, the audience was entertained by two famous fliers, Alvin Wildasin, speed king of the airways, and Sylvia Altland, first woman to fly a rocket ship. At the end of intermission, the usher, Paul Welsh, took the girls to a better seat farther front beside Professors Kenneth Leppo and Herbert Martin, who invited their classmates to a party that night to be held at the home of Senator George Knaub to honor the winning football team for Middle-aged Men, com- posed of Carl Bowser, Iohn Lease, Glenn Ness, Marlin Reynolds, and Dean Snyder, West York graduates. To have a well-balanced party, the wives of the group were also present: Mary Iane Boone, Marian Iacobs, Leah Iones, Agnes Rohorbaugh, Ruby Stough, and Gloria Nickey. Ianet Yohe, the entertainer sought by all Washington society, was also present. Finally the day arrived for our trio to go home. All good things must come to an end. On the train they met Ruth Spangler, a spinster, who was returning from Baltimore where she had sat through three movies in which Frank Sinatra, Ir., starred. Sara Ann King had also been to Baltimore where she had lectured on the subject How to be a Good Wife When Your Husband Is Away Playing Basket- ball. She reported her speech to be most effective. The girls became hungry, so the porter of their streamlined train brought them Doll's ice cream and Wagner's pretzels. Phyllis Doll and Dorothy Wagner attribute this success to their earlier training in the dairy store and pretzel bakery. This is Philip Woltman, your announcer, reminding you to enhance your smile by buying Klinedinst's Uppers and Lowers. mf ff .f x' J-' ,J j Page 69 Senior Activities ALBRECHT, WILLIAM M.

Dear Teacher! our twelve long years are done, Our minds have weathered every test, the education we sought is won. NOAH WEBSTER DEFINES EDUCATION as the discipline of mind or char- acter through study or instructionf' this does not, therefore, restrict one's edu- cation to book larnin' -it may include anything that contributes to the development of one's memory. Of all the factors in our high school career which have contributed to the development of our memories, we best remem- ber those which were not a cut-and-dried rule of the book and which we summarize here as Las M emorias Every senior who has attended the West York High School for the last six years remembers the lovable Miss Claire Lichty-seventh grade English teacher who introduced us to the peculiarities of high school lite . . . Mr. Luke Heath, former art teacher . . . Mr. Chalmers G. Wenrich, seventh grade English and history teacher and assistant football coach, who answered the call of his country, for whom he gave his life . . . Mr. Richard t Moon l Walters, former assistant football coach . . . Mr. Luke Sauder, commercial teacher serving in the Navy Air Corps . . . and the host of substitutes who have filled his place: Mrs. Robert Knupp, Miss Betty lane Shaull, Mrs. Roy Gibbons, and Miss Emma Lou Snyder. The fruits of knowledge could not long survive without an occasional sprink- ling of definitions, for which reason we have been thoroughly saturated with them. Mr. Richards administered the first dampening when he defined history as a written record of men and their activities forced by economic issues . . . and in impressing upon us the value of hard work reminded us that lf a task is once begun, Never leave it 'till it's done. Be the labor great or small, Do it well or not at all. Mr. Heath permitted this quaint gem to drip upon us: White is the presence of all colorsg black is the absence of all colors. . . . Miss llgenlritz taught us: Health is the harmonious working together of all the organs of the body . . . while Mr. Kopp indelibly marked upon the minds of his algebra students that Any number to the zero power except zero itself is equal to one. . . . F rom Mr. Poff we learned that A spider is not an insect, and a sponge is the skele- ton of an animal . . . and Mr. Beckmyer, one bright spring day in physics class, appealed, If you don't leam anything in this class, folks, I hope you'll always remember that light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second. . . . In the same year Mr. Wise poured forth these helpful definitions: Civili- zation is the development ot man's outer or material life: culture is the develop- Page 74 ment of man's inner or spiritual life . . . and Miss Morris submitted this help- ful guide for future journalists, I have six honest serving men, Who taught me all I know. Their names are what, and where, and when, And why, and how, and who. Mr. Wentz contributed many wise sayings to our repertoire, but probably his most important contribution was an easy method for remembering the order of succession of the cabinet members to the presidency-St. Wapniacl-each letter being the initial of the cabinet member's title. Of the things that used to be we can remember the organ music that used to follow morning devotions . . , activity period from 10:20 to 10:50 A.M. . . . the model airplane club . . . the demerit system and the detention hall-may they never plague W. Y. H. S. again . . . the annual faculty play . . . the championship football team of 1940 . . . Mr. Walker's mustache . . . Mr. Rich- ards's history plays . . . The days when the high school orchestra had at least six violins . . . when the Music Room was used in teaching music . . . ration- ing-registration vacations . . . the late opening of school in 1941 due to the infantile paralysis epidemic . . . air raid alerts spent in the boiler room . . . and most important of all, The Blue and White News, may it see a rebirth of fame and glory and continue to carry the honors in its division. Now as we leave this life which we have loved and hated in typical Ameri- can fashion, we carry with us reminiscences of the assembly programs . . . dances in the gym . . . the annual football pep meetings at the Hiway Theatre . . . the newly established school canteen . . . the museum outside Room 13 . . . the four championship teams of 1943-44 . . . assembly singing under the direction of Miss Beatrice Gentzler . . . and the annual magazine campaigns when the school was strongly divided into two competing teams . . . the periods we wasted in the library . . . the annual T. B. tests . . . the clocks' stopping and being reset . . . the billowing clouds and massive piles of chalk dust in Mr. Kopp's room . . . all the poems we memorized and forgot . . . dis- secting bugs, frogs, worms, fish, etc., in biology class . . . practice sets . . . Mr. Wentz's Pennsylvania-German brogue . . . Mr. Beckmyer's bulletin boards of the alumni in service . . . history projects for Mr. Richards . . . get- ting biology projects in before the deadline . . . transcription and complete theory tests . . . Mr. Beckmyer's femur-bone book support and his oversize light bulb . . . Miss Connor's French personality . . . the boys scrubbing ink stains off the floor in Mr. Zinn's penmanship classes . . . leap week . . per- fect copies in typewriting . . . trips to the manual training and home econom- ics rooms . . . the rotten egg smell created in chemistry laboratory . . . win- dows broken by the boys' gym classes . . . French and Latin plays which the Commercial students couldn't understand . . . foul shooting contests in assem- bly among the basketball players and faculty members . . . assembly pre- views of the annual Citamard Society play . . . the boys' obstacle course in gym class . . . the candlelight induction service of the National Honor Society . . . assembly demonstrations of football, basketball, and ping pong . . . the sympathetic looks on the girls' faces at wrestling matches . . . the crowd that gathered at Moser's Restaurant after basketball games . . . all the notebooks we made for history, civics, etc .... the Masked Marvels Basketball Team . . . and Think before you act, then act quickly.
