The time spent here, with its joys, sorrows, and studies, Will remain forever in our hearts as the best days of our lives. We now look forward to the open field of life. Some of us will further our education by going to college, and the rest of us will seek our fortune in the trend of business, profession and sciences. Regardless of what the future holds in store for us, We will aspire to those ideals that have been taught us. To those who are yet to graduate, we leave the torch of learning to grasp and carry on with unfaltering steps. Seek the fine things that are here and make them known to all. This is our Farewell to You. Take it and use it well, and preserve, for perseverance is the key to all success. The past three years are now a memory that will follow wherever We go-a lasting memory that cannot be denied, for in those years we were together and now we must part. It is at this parting of the ways that we hope that the Orange and the Black will always be unblemished, and unconquered. Miss Nelle VV.

Climb Though The Rocks Be Rugged CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS Talisman Rose Maroon and Goldj CLASS POEM Like adoring worshippers we entered thy portals, With reverent eyes we behold thy halls, Awed with wonder, We saw thy lofty chambers, Marble cover for winged immortals. We learned to love thee, William Penn, To cherish thy songs and praise, To endure thy defeats with hearts still proud With victories thy banners raise- The years too swift have passed away, Our hearts with sorrow fill And emptiness and memory That may bring back the thrill That once we felt the glorious day When first we hallowed thee. Now we leave thy massive halls, Thy doors swing wide before us. Again, yet again our eyes turn back And thoughts to the years that bore us O'er the path of youth so dear, so free.

After nine long years of study We had at last reached the object of our expectations! . Our class arrived during a period of complacency among the students. The school was the proud Alma Mater of a State Championship team. The last of the old type of Sophomore-the timorous, awe-stricken kind-we received our speech of welcome and warning with trepidation. Gazing askance at those lads with the large P's', we wondered how we could refuse if they offered to sell us a song book or year-old program. Many times, as we stood outside the gymnasiums, or machine shops, did we wonder how we had misinterpreted the kind directions of higher class- men. It was a stiff-neck' proposition at first-the numbers on the doors certainly were up high. Our traditional rival, John Harris, triumphed in basketball that season, leaving us a little dejected and disappointed in our Alma Mater, as we settled down for the long grind to vacation. On our return to school we slid into the groove easily, giving more attention to our studies and mourning over a disastrous football season. By this time we had lost some of our precision. Perhaps, now and then after school hours, the bannisters may have knowinlgly winked at the teachers who suddenly appeared around the corner. Who knows. The spirit of the Christmas Party caught us and we put our energy and funds into it without hesitation. We serenely watched the seniors make their exodus and we became members of that exalted society of students-Juniors. II J UNIORS We went to work with new zeal, pausing only to celebrate a victory over John Harris on the court, and soon vacation again claimed us. The football team played a superior John Harris to a stale-mate in a drenching downpour. The well-organized Christmas Party was the largest in years, leaving behind a happy and well-satisfied group of children and enlightened students. Our class officers were duly elected and we plunged into the affairs of distant grad- uation, for the first time awakening to the fact that Father Time had already taken two of our eventful years. III SENIORS As we entered the last lap of our journey, it was with a dawning realization of the value of education in relation to our future life. The basketball team was defeated and a period of lethargy took possession of us. It was soon lost, however, in the enthusiastic preparations for our first large class affair, the Junior Prom, which was enjoyed by all who attended. As we approached the final school vacation period, a member of our class distin- guished herself in a county-wide essay contest. Vacation restored our jaded minds and we began to attack vigorously the work of our last year. The many details of the approaching graduation engrossed us and caused chaotic debate and wasted energy. The Christmas Party was ours ! No longer need we sit in the background, we were now the directors. The responsibility was ours and we made a success of it as tradi- tion demanded that we do. Our dinner-dance and the rest of the functions went as planned and became part of our past. Then the great day-our last time as undergraduates. We stood in the auditorium ready to receive our diplomas. The Words of the donor droned over our heads and into the void. Our eyes glittered and our jaws were tight with triumph and determination. As our hands touched parchment, bitter-sweet memories passed before us in kaleidoscopic review g remorse tinged our triumph-the thought that perhaps We had not made the best of our opportunities and all this that had become a part of us seemed ours no more, but our eyes caught the flag of the school in its standards and we realized that: When We in future years shall meet And o'er old days look back, With hearts athrill again We'll greet The Orange and the Black.

CLASS WILL-FEBRUARY, 1936 We, the Midyear Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, of the William Penn High School, situated in the City of Harrisburg, County of Dauphin, Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, do hereby submit for execution our last will and testament, thus making null and void any such document heretofore presented. SECTI-oN I To our Dean, Miss Aumiller: Our deep appreciation for the guidance and untiring services to our class.

SECTION V The individuals of the class of February, nineteen hundred and thirty-six, bequeath the following to the underclassmen: To Dick Harper and Eddie Speraw, Johnny Rodenhaber and George Timothy will their athletic ability. Bill Hanawalt leaves his good nature to Ernest Whittle. To Gerald Reiter, Bernie Abramson leaves his dancing feet. To Genevieve Morgan, Kent Gilbert leaves his oratorical prowess. Richard Coover wills his megaphone to Sam Derrick. Millicent Hooper wills her sweet disposition to Anna Riggio. To Earl King, Russell Shelley leaves his altitude.

In Witness Whereof, We, the February Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, do hereby affix our hand and seal, on this seventeenth day of January in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-six. fSignedJ MIDYEAR CLASS OF 1936. Witnesses: fSignedJ WINIFRED GREENAWALT fSignedJ Jayne Taylor CLASS PROPHECY Draw back the golden curtain-peer into the mists of the future-what fate is written there for the graduates of February '36? One blustery day in January 1950, one hundred men and women scattered through- out the United States-men and women of all classes, in all walks of life-received large square envelopes enclosing very interesting invitations. The recipients of these invitations were surprised and delighted to learn that their presence was requested at a reunion of the William Penn Mid-Year class of '36. Immediately preparations were made to attend this highly important function-tuxedoes were sent to the cleaners' to have those gravy spots removed, evening gowns were gravely considered, rejected, and new ones selected, corpor- ations were advised that the Big Boss would be away for the week-end. Came at last the big night. As Jane Jones, an obscure member of the class, entered the banquet hall, her attention was immediately drawn to the long speakers' table set up at the end of the room. Seated there were the class dean, the class officers, and several mem- bers of the class now numbered among the nation's most prominent citizens. She at once recognized Harry Baer, Head Football Coach at Temple University, Morris Zeigler, the Mayor of Harrisburg, and, seated beside him, his secretary, Thelma Jeffries. The others, however, were harder to identify. Kay Winterbottom, sob sister for the New York Times and general chairman of the affair, came up at this point to greet her and escort her to her seat. She placed Jane at a table with Ruth Hepler, R. N., Helen Forbes, pro- prietor of Forbes' Fifth Avenue Fashion Shoppe, Marie Bair, music directress at Cornell University, and Ann Wagner, private secretary to Kenneth Miller, President of the New York Stock Exchange. With the aid of her friends Jane identified the others at the Speakers' Table as George Timothy, a member of the United States Olympic Team, United States Senator W. Kent Gilbert, Emanuel Shapiro, of Abramson and Shapiro, New York's most exclusive men's clothiers, Harry Powell, United States tennis champion, and Robert Loy, holder of the Chair of Modern Languages at Harvard. At a nearby table Jane glimpsed Mary Hunter, prominent woman politician, Roberta Bell, Woman executive, Dorothy Lauer, Broadway comedienne, Virginia Boland, America's ranking tennis star, Nancy Dare and Sara Moses, both employees of the Bell Telephone Company. Presently a very delicious banquet was served, and it was revealed that the menu had been planned by Elizabeth Smith and Margaret Hoffsmith, well-known dieti- cians. While the tables were being removed to clear the floor for dancing, Jane met several others of her high school friends. Among them were Eva Jane Rothrock, a social Worker, Constance Bowman and Mildred Schubauer, nurses at the Harrisburg Hospital, and Doctor Deller, who was connected with the same institution. Music for the dancing was furnished by Walter Kuhn's popular orchestra, just returned from a long European tour. Between numbers other famous members of the class were pointed out to Jane. Evalyn Berry, America's leading sculptor, was present, as were Betty Rineard and Robert Miller, the well-known commercial artists, Jayne Taylor, the official interpreter for the French embassy at Washington, Alyce Carter, the lawyer, Millicent Hooper, the cello virtuoso, Robert Gundell and Perry Beck, prominent electrical engineers. Familiar faces in the stag line were James Hammond, Thomas Akers, Robert Parker, Robert Thomas, James Wagner, and Howard Seitz, popular men about town. Telegrams were read from some of the class members unable to be present. Charles Taylor and Robert Fisher, partners in a Paris department store, cabled their greetings, Wires were also received from Donald Darr and Walter Hoffman, Montana ranchemen, George Brown and Robert Copeland, army officers stationed in China, Richard Jeffries and William Hanawalt, the famous big game hunters, and Albert Simpson, the London chem- ical engineer. During intermission a most entertaining floor show was presented, all the per- formers being members of the class who had followed the theatrical profession. The show was arranged by William Gentzel, Richard Coover, and Edgar Patterson, Hollywood comedy writers, and directed by Wilson Beaver and Charles Reese, co-owners of New York's most sparkling night club. Among the performers were Mary Rodenhaber, acro- batic dancer famed on two continents, Dorothy Honnafous, Emma Jane Miller, Bertha Miller, and Lillian Boster, members of the cast of Earl Carroll's Vanities More dancing followed, and Jane noticed other familiar faces on the dance floor. Her partner pointed out to her Simon Michlovitz, the journalist, Lawrence Bittinger, owner of Harrisburg's newest newspaper, with John Rodenhaver, his sports writer, Earl Gingrich his business manager, Leroy Baker, Howard Greenwalt, John Simpson, and Elwood Smeltzer, all em- ployed at the printing office. Only too soon the orchestra was playing the last dance, and Jane realized that the enchanting evening was over. As she returned home she thought long and proudly of the courage and faith with which her classmates had met Life, of the success that had crowned their efforts, and of the inspiration and help offered by William Penn, their noble Alma Mater.

JUNE CLASS JACK BERRIER JAMES PEOPLES ANNA KERN EDWARD WEIMER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer SENIOR FAREWELL As we close the book on our last chapter of high school life, it seems fitting for us, the June graduating class of 1936, to express that which lies deepest in our hearts, the reverence of our Alma Mater. The three years that We have spent at William Penn are years that will linger in our hearts and minds forever. It is a period of life that can never exist again for us. We shall no longer function as a unit, but rather as individuals in a world that is unrelentlessly demanding. Some of us will go into the business World immediately, others will further their education at colleges and universities. Now, confident in our own ability, we are eager to try our Wings, so to speak, with no thought to the obstacles and barriers confronting us. It will be only when We do meet with such difficulties that We will truly appreciate what our dear Alma Mater has done for us. However, classes must come and go and so we must, though it be reluctantly, leave our Alma Mater. To you, Underclassmen, do We leave our place. May you learn to love and cherish, as We do, the name, William Penn. - Mr. G.

HISTORY The daring exploits and world-renown achievements of the William Penn Division have made it necessary to give to the students of history a true and detailed report of its activities as the outstanding group in the Army of 1936 Graduates. The William Penn Division was formed in June, 1933, but no actual fighting occurred until September 4, when it met the enemy on the William Penn battlefield. The company was as yet untrained, being made up of raw recruits drawn from the area north of Market Street. It advanced in straggling lines to meet the Allied Forces of Upperclass- men, Homework, and Teachers-a Well-trained, experienced fighting body. In addition, it knew little of the topography of the battle-field, its shortcuts and well-hidden trenches were a source of constant irritation. This first encounter met with no success. During the autumn of 1933 little was done. Although being inexperienced in the ways of war, the company took their foes very seriously. To keep up the morals of the troup, a program of sports was made. The Division entered into these outside activities with the same earnestness as characterized their actual fighting. At Christmas all hostili- ties ceased and these hated foes joined forces to give a Christmas party to some unfortunate refugee children-a thing unprecedented in history, but none the less praise- worthy. On January 2, 1934, war, in its fullest sense, broke out again. For days they fought, until, on February 1, they forced the Upperclassmen to retreat some distance. Through the long winter the fighting continued. Homework and Teachers stood their ground valiantly, but Upperclassmen, a much inferior group, again retreated, this time in June. During the summer of 1934 the enemy's forces were withdrawn and the division had about two months much-needed rest. On September 5, the enemy stealthily returned and attacked without warning. Although one fiank of Upperclassmen had been elimin- ated, a subordinate body, the Sophomore troup had now joined the Allied Forces. Instead of devoting their efforts against their original enemy, the Penn Division could not resist the temptation to torment this new frightened little force, and thus by dividing their attacks, their efforts to curb this onslaught against them were in vain. In addition, they realized, remembering the past dull, uninteresting winter, that something must be done to enliven the tedious routine of army life. Organizations sprang up here and thereg sororities and fraternities became common, and turned their attention toward works of social life, which, it must be admitted did little to further its advance, especially on Home- work. At Christmas they again ceased firing and turned their attention toward warks of charity. In the early part of January, 1935, they started their campaign to divide the enemy's line. They planned a series of annoying little attacks on the Teachers' Force and assumed a defiant air toward Homework and Upperclassmen. This campaign resulted only in the third retreat of Upperclassmen. The other two remained adamant. In February, Lieutenant Gottshall, an officer in the Teachers' Force, realized that his heart was with this valiant group, joined the William Penn Division, which was in dire need of leaders. They made Lieutenant Gottshall, Commander-in-Chief, while John Berrier was made his Aide-de-camp. Under this able guidance the company again made serious inroads in the Allied Forces' defense. By June 1935, due to the press of social engagements, Homework was almost utterly disregarded, Teachers had become somewhat weakened, and Upperclassmen was but a pale shadow of its former self. September, 1935, saw a steady advance begun on the Foe. Even Teachers, their most formidable enemy, realized that here was an army that was not be be treated lightly. The William Penn Division realized its own importance, and calmly appropriated all the important position of the battlefield. Everything done was through their instigation and under their direction. The social activities greatly exceeded those of the past year, both in number and in variation. Unfortunately their financial situation was very poor, and to carry out this War they had to have more money. Accordingly, to raise this money, they gave a huge and elaborate Fair, which, through the efforts of each member, was a great success. Being thus financially fortified gave but more impetus to a relentless march forward. This Christmas the Penn Division took full charge of the refugee children, and hostilities ceased for only a few hours. Nothing could daunt them! In February they completely annihilated the Upperclassmen. Now came the test of their true bravery. The winter in 1936 was a hard one. Snow fell, but they marched ong they fell, but they marched on. Who can describe the horrors and suffering of those months? Who can pay just tribute to those soldiers, who, with freezing noses, fought on? Finally the long winter was over. By June, 1936, after three years of war, the forces of Homework and Teachers waved a white flag and unconditionally surrendered. The Division, as a Whole, was jubilant, but here and there a tear could be seen falling for those who had been left on the battlefield. They celebrated their overwhelming victory by various activities-including Class Day, a dance and a banquet. Finally, recognition for their great service to humanity came to them. Each member was presented with a certificate showing his diligence and bravery, while the outstanding members received appropriate rewards. After this, the William Penn Division disbanded and returned home to remember the experience of three years as a part of this division, and to plan from them, their future. The world rang with applause for it, and nations paid homage to its greatness. JANET WEAVER, Class Historian. CLASS WILL IUNE CLASS 1936 Granpa, was the piercing cry of a young child that awakened an old man of about seventy-five as he was slumbering before the fire, what is this old book 'Z We found it in the attic. The old man lifted the inquisitive child to his knee and took the dusty black and white book into his old and gnarled fingers. He opened the book aimlessly to the page where these familiar statements met his aged and dimmed eyes: CLASS WILL JUNE CLASS 1936 We, the June Class of 1936 of the William Penn High School, in the city of Har- risburg, County of Dauphin, State of Pennsylvania in the United States of America being of solid mind and uncertain memory, do hereby publish and declare our last Will and testament: thereby making null and void all other documents drawn up by us, we bequeath to the following: SECTION I Mr. Oser: A carload of toothpicks.

IN WITNESS Thereof, we the undersigned do hereby lay our hand in seal on this second day of June in the year nineteen-hundred and thirty six, in the year of Our Lord. CSignedD JUNE CLASS OF 1936. Witnesses : Myra Bleiden Gertrude Dougherty Quentin Davidson PROPHECY The Metropolitan Daily instructed us, as sport writers for the paper, to get a story of the different events of the Olympics of 1948 held in California. As we sat watching the colorful March of the Nations on that first day we thought how pleasant this assign- ment would be. It seemed more like play to us than work. Flags were flying and banners unfurled as the representatives of each nation in full costume marched into the stadium. The events began with great pomp and ceremony. The contests had a special interest for us as some of our classmates of the 1936 class of William Penn High School were taking part in the various sports. The first event was the 100 meter dash for women. As the contestants lined up, we noticed to our great surprise and pleasure Irene Craig, Catherine Banks, and Doris Rice. We knew without much thought these young ladies would certainly do their best to win for the United States. After this exciting race came the 80 meter hurdles with our friends Vivian Lutz, Irene Bowers, and Jeanne Drake participating in it. We also noticed our program stated that Ruth Lamke, Doris Shenk, and Miriam Cook were taking part in the javelin event. The high jumping event brought into the spotlight Flora Shambaugh and Doris Sharar, and in the high diving contest who should appear but our good friends Mary Drake and Mary Deaner. As the successions of events followed one another we began to recognize familiar faces about us. A few rows in front of us sat the famous coach of South Carolina Univer- sity football team, Jack Berrier, with his friend Robert Fry, star of the Rose Bowl game. Near by sat Russell Ellenberger known in Hollywood as a second Jimmy Durante and his friends Richard Martin and Edgar Kirk who were attending the Olympics while making an extended tour of the country. Next to us sat Janet Weaver a popular journalist and her friend Peggy Hoover. The voice of Jack Pincus was heard over the loud speaker as he announced the last events of the day. We found that in the discus event were Emer- son Bornman and Harold Bryner and that in the 400 meter dash were Harold Gray, Ken- neth Lewis, and Kenneth Kitch. Participating in the 200 meter dash were Phillip Frank and Alfred Hill, and in the 110 meter hurdles were Walter Harper, James Lick, and Charles Minsker. We were filled with pride as the Olympics ended, for many of our classmates had taken part in the events and had done their best to win for their country. As we were leaving the stadium we met Marie Fisher, Dorothy Dietz, Flora Demain, Evelyn Zink, and June Anderson who were all very much interested in the sport world. They invited us to accompany them to the Silver Cafe for lunch which as we discovered was owned by none other than Wayne Masoner. As we sat chatting with the renowned cartoonist Dick Strome, and commercial artists Esther Sensenig, Rebecca Grant, and Leon Bear, we were interrupted by receiving a telegram which stated that we should return to New York at once. Regretfully we took leave of our friends and went hurriedly to the air depot. There we were interviewed by the newspaper reporters, Richard Shue and Steward Vance. Boarding the plane we were made comfortable by the air-hostess Doris McCutcheon. We found to our great surprise and pleasure the pilot and co-pilot were the Conway brothers, Malcolm and James. As we became accustomed to our surroundings we noticed the identity of our fellow passengers. There was George Seltzer the well-known minister to Brazil and his secretary Patricia Morgenthal. Immediately in front of us sat Catharine Blakeney a well-known debator in Congress and also, her secretary Edith Cohen. There were from Hollywood Beatrice Bax the actress, Ralph Kendal, the only rival to Clark Gable, Romaine Corl a dancing instructoress, Jean Farmer a blues singer, and Myra Blieden who was rapidly becoming known as a second Louella Parsons. Farther down the aisle sat June Severino proclaimed as the sweetest little girl on Broadway and her friend Kathryn Stump who immediately after recognizing us invited us to attend the fashion show she was presenting in her exclusive New York dress shoppe. We grate- fully accepted, for we knew that many of our bygone schoolmates were modeling Kathryn's fashionable gowns. Before long we were aware of someone in the seat behind us discussing a very important business deal. Soon, however, the conversation stopped and someone tapped us on the shoulder. We turned around to find Lester P. Horst a very large figure in the Swift Company organization. Beside him on the edge of the seat look- ing very uncomfortable sat Harry Roddy, a very cool-minded gentleman. By this time we had reached our destination. Some of the passengers got off but many others filled their places. Among them was Detective Jack Currier and his assis- tant John Ensminger of the Eye See Everything detective agency. The plane started and before long we were soaring through the clouds well on our way to New York. This time Bill McKay, the radio announcer, and his secretary, Kathryn Bomgardner, were our companions and they kept us so well entertained with their lively conversation that before many hours had passed we found ourselves home. We hired a taxi-cab driven by James Hatz and started to the city. On the Way We passed The Contented Kiddies Orphanage managed by Misses Nancy Welker, Marguerite Myers, and Mary Morgan. We also saw the home of Ernest Christmas, famous explorer, and near the outskirts of the city we saw the beautiful home of that very popular doctor, Raymond Dietz. We decided to stop at the Pennonia Hotel managed by Foster Hopkins and William Young and after checking in we went to attend to our business. Having settled that in a short time, we decided to accept our invitation to Kathryn Stump's fashion show. Tak- ing part in it were Evelyn Fisher, Anne Kern, Kay Windecker, and Martha Gayman. We were informed that the Haberdasher a few blocks away were also giving a fashion show in which Donald Geiger, Edward Hess, Joe O'Brien, Jack Roush, Jess Newhauser, and David Maugans were participating. As we were leaving the dress shoppe we glanced at an advertisement which stated that the Jewish Community Center was giving an entertainment featuring Miriam Gerber, Bernice Brenner, Leah Silver, Anna Press, Frances Freedman, Beatrice Prouser, and Ruth Katzen. Jack Yudin was the producer and Jerome Reiter the speciality dancer. In the evening we went to the Silver Room and found our friends Robert Musser, coach at Princeton, and Ammon Dougherty, coach at Harvard, very much interested in the iioor show. As we were seated we thrilled to hear the golden voice of Thelma Bushfield and Luther Osler filling the room. The chorus consisted of Dorothy Smith, Mildred Phil- lips, Lillian Snyder, Elva Bayler, Vivian Brightbill and Gertrude Dougherty. Our friends informed us that the manager of this group of entertainers Was Telfer Ratcliff and that his assistant was Eddie Allen. We glanced around the room and here also noticed some of our former classmates, Virginia Fisher, Sara Byler, Elaine Malseed, Geraldine Mentzer, Grace Grassmyer, and Dorothy Bair. At the farther end of the room sat Edward Weimer, Kenneth McDonel, Russell McKey, Harry Buckwalter, and Bill Rittner very much engrossed in what we took to be an exceedingly important business conversa- tion. After a very lovely evening We went back to the hotel and sat discussing old high school days for meeting so many of our friends had brought back very pleasant memories.

Although Penn threatened four times, the game, which was frequented with fumbles, ended in a scoreless tie. SHAMOKIN This game was played in the rain. The tigers won their first con- ference victory by turning back the Shamokin eleven. The end runs by the Penn backfield were a feature of the game. We had two other scoring chances in the first period but failed to make them. COLUMBIA After trailing 2-0 in the first half, our eleven came back in the second half to score two touchdowns and a placement for the extra point. The Hrst touchdown was a result of a blocked punt. A pass scored the second touchdown. MT. CARMEL 5000 fans sat in the rain to see Penn, in its second night game, hold a favored Mt. Carmel team to a scoreless tie. We were on their one yard line, but a bad pass from center, recovered by a Mt. Carmel player, ended our only scoring chance. The game was the best seen on the island in years. STEELTON Penn suffered its first defeat of the season. After outplaying Steelton. In the last four minutes of play a Steelton guard intercepted a pass and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. Steelton made the extra point good. Our eleven was leading 13-7 when the upset occurred.

BERWICK Berwick, the underdog of this contest, held the edge over the Penn Tigers until the fourth quarter when a short pass K resulted in ourb touch- down. The extra point was place kicked. WILLIAMSPORT For the first time in eight years the Tigers defeated Williamsport. Our eleven showed the best form of the season. Long runs around the ends resulted in the touchdowns. Williamsport scored first on a safety. ALLENTOWN Before a crowd of 8000 fans William Penn lost a hard fought battle to Allentown. Allentown's first touchdown was a result of a blocked kick. The other touchdown was a result of an intercepted pass and a drive down the field. Penn had a chance to score early in the game when Timothy ran a punt back 60 yards to the five yard line, where he was knocked out of bounds. The ball was lost on the next play due to a pass interception. JOHN HARRIS The Penn Tigers lost another hard fought battle with John Harris in the annual Thanksgiving Day game.

Our boys showed their true color when they twice defeated John Harris for the City Championship. Both games were close, the first ending with an extra period, Timothy winning it with two baskets in a Star performance in his last game for his Alma Mater. The last game was a thriller. Harris missed a lay-up shot in the last minute of the game making us the City Champs. Hopkins sat a Record of 20 Points in the First Harris game. Catholic High then challenged and played us. We won with a good margin and are now recognized as the City Champs. The team was perfect in the second Lancaster game. Lancaster was in a whirl because our passes were perfect and the shots just couldn't miss. The first few games of the season were lost by only one or two points. Freedman was lost in the first Steelton game because of a broken leg. Hopkins ended his career as Third Highest Scorer in the League, Ed. Weimer coming in, in Seventh place. With a good nucleus of lettermen left for next year, Penn looks for- ward to a most successful season next year.

VOLLEYBALL Interclass volleyball games again predominated Penn's athletic sched- ules. The season started off with a bang, and because the 12B's and 10B's had gone through three games undefeated, the outcome of their combat would decide the championship of the school. The first game was a close affair with the 10B's nosing out their rivals by the narrow margin of 15-14. In the second battle, the seniors were vic- torious With the score 15-13. The third and deciding game was a Frank Merriwe1l affair with the younger set winning 15-14. The scores indicate the nip-and-tuck playing throughout the matches. The victors deserve the outstanding merit of being the first 10B volley- ball team to ever win the championship of the school.

SOCCER We find that this year has been one of the most outstanding soccer seasons in the school's history. Some of the outstanding teams were: 11B's, 12B's, 10B's. The 12B's were the runners-up with the 11B's for the cham- pionship of the school. The score of the championship game was: 11B 411g 12B 401. Scores for the Inter-class games were as follows: 11B 421, 12A 11A 403, 11B 12A , 11A 12A 401, 123 10A 401, 10B 12A , 10A 123 425, 11B 123 401, 11A 11A , 10A 11B 421, 10B 11A 417. 10B 12A , 10B 123 421, 11B 11B 423, 10A 123 , 10A 123 , 10B Reading from left to right: Rinard, Shearer, Eastman, Craig. ARCHERY One of the most picturesque and colorful of the sports engaged in by William Penn High School students is Archery. Under the direction of Miss Bertha E. Turner, this sport is growing in popularity. Girls in the Senior Class, both 12A and 1213, have the privilege of competing in the annual Fall archery contest. The training in fundamentals includes Q15 correct way to stand and hold the bowg Q25 arm position to protect elbow and wrist, C35 acquiring point of aim, and Q43 care of equipment-bows, bow strings, and arrows. Every afternoon while the football candidates were scrimmaging on the athletic field, and while the soccer enthusiasts were busy on the practice field, dozens of Senior girls nearby were earnestly striving with bow and arrow to improve their skill and their score in target practice. Competition became keener and keener day by day. The tournament, lasting for three weeks, began November 4 on the lawn surround- ing the South tennis courts. Winged arrows whizzed through the air toward the target thirty yards away. And happy indeed was the archer whose arrow pierced the golden bullseye. At each of the three targets, four contestants shot their matches, using ninety arrows in all, six at an Mend. After every six arrows, each girl collected her own arrows and recorded her score. This tournament produced the following winners: Hits Score Betty Rineard ....... 74 352 Margaret Shearer . . . 65 339 Athalee Eastman .... 67 336 Irene Craig ....... 61 319 Reading from left to right: Keefer, Kirk, Armour, Loban, Johnson, Heikes, Capt. Myers, Beible, Lebo GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' athletics enjoyed another very successful basketball season. Competition was keen, and the race hnally narrowed down between the 12A's -12B's and 11A's. The former was finally eliminated, and it remained for the 1937 classes to battle it out. The hrst of the series found the 12B's victorious, and the second game, a thrilling match, ended by a score of 33-23 with the 12B's on the long end. The forWard's good floor work and uncanny ability to find the basket, coupled with the guards excellent passing, procured for the seniors the championship of the school.

SCIMITAR Scimitar attempted during the year to present to its members a varied, Well-organ- ized, and novel program which made the members continue their athletic attempts even after such time as they gained entrance into the honor group. Tennis, soccer, basketball, track, and baseball were among those sports which gave to the athletes points which aided them in their efforts to enter Scimitar.

This club is a branch of the Junior Red Cross in Washington, D. C. The main purpose is to render service on many occasions and to create friendship among the students and promote international good will. The past year has been filled with activities about which members of the club have been very enthusiastic. Christmas boxes were filled in the fall, cards were printed and distributed to the Home of the Friendless and Polyclinic Hospital. Thirty-two dolls were dressed to be distributed to children at Christmas time. Fifty dollars was raised in the Service Drive. The Knitting Club which is sponsored by Miss Watts has knitted afghans and Beanies for the Red Cross Club. A Tea Dance was held in November and a most successful evening dance in April. Several delegates attended the Regional Conference at Reading. One delegate sent to the National Convention which was held at Chicago. The enrollment is about 150 members. Five officers are elected each semester in gdditionfto the delegates to the High School Council held once each month at the Red ross o ice.

THE FOUNDER The Founder is the school paper of William Penn. It is published and printed by members of the student body every two weeks. The Editor in Chief of the paper is elected each semester by the staff and is always a member of the senior class. Kent Gilbert headed the publication in this position during the semester beginning in September 1935 and ending January 1936. At that time Cath- erine Blakeney Was promoted from Associate Editor to Editor in Chief. Pauline Silver- man was Business Manager during both semesters. The Founder is financed entirely by subscriptions and contains no paid adver- tisements differing in this respect from many school publications. The paper has four pages and contains, in addition to regular news articles, many special features such as literary, sports, movie and radio columns. The Founder is a member of the Pennsylvania State Press Association and was awarded third place in its class in the annual state-wide contest held by that body. In the contest, The Founder scored eighty-four points out of a possible ninety. An individual award was won by Kent Gilbert, whose column In the Sportlight was adjudged the best in the state. Catherine Blakeney, also, won distinction by receiving honorable mention for her interview of Dr. Abernethy, Superintendent of Schools, which appeared in the paper. Much credit is due to Miss Mabel Harris, who is Faculty Advisor for the paper, and to Miss Nellie Book, Faculty Business Manager and to Mr. A. C. Davies, Faculty Printing Director, for their efforts. The enthusiasm displayed by the members of the staff and printing department also contributed materially to the success of the paper.

To learn to sing the different voice parts is a valuable asset and well-trained singers always have a welcome in the social world.

The student librarians not only gained valuable experience and knowledge which may be of use to them in the future but also they are afforded the opportunity and enjoyment of service to their school. Without a library in the school the students would be greatly inconvenienced in their research work. It would also be necessary for them to go else- where to find very good books to employ their leisure moments.

USHERS It is Friday afternoon. The wall clock slowly moves toward one. When the one o'clock bell rings a few boys from each rocm arise and hurry silently through the halls to the auditorium while the rest of the schocl waits for their respective assembly signals. These boys who have just left, are your assembly ushers. Donald Evans, head usher on the first floor, tells the ushers which books to distribute. On the second fioor Paul Keister, assistant head usher tells his charges the same. The signals ring, the student body hrrries to assembly. They are presented books and programs at the entrance by this group cf young men. During the assembly the ushers stand or sit quietly in the rear, ready to assist visiting patrons to advantageous seats. When the assembly is over these ushers collect the books, put them away, raise the seats, and then another weeks job is finished. They thank you for your courtesy and support and ask you to continue it in the same way or even better, next year and the years to come.

In the fall of 1924 a group of Central High School girls organized the Zeta Chi Beta sorority. The sorority was formed for the purpose of promoting social activities. lt was rechartered in 1926 in William Penn for the same reason. The sorority has been very successful in its social activities and its aim which is to promote good fellowship among the girls. On December 1, 1935 the Zeta Chi Beta held a vaudeville and fashion show in which we were very successful and many more interesting affairs will follow in the near future. It is the sincere wish of the present members of the Zeta Chi Beta that the future members shall and will support any activities in William Penn as they have endeavored to in the past.

DELTA SIGMA The Delta Sigma is one of the most outstanding and distinguished senior sororities and has been in existence many years. The club has aimed to bring the two city high schools closer together and to keep a high social standing among the students. The Delta Sigma has been very active socially this year. To the members we leave our ideals and our reputation, hoping they will continue as successfully as their predecessors.

S. C. S. Amicitia vita multo est carior or Friendship is much dearer than life, is the motto of the Sigma Chi sorority. In 1925 the sorority was formed by a group of Central High girls. This sorority was organized for the purpose of making new friends, and participating in the various affairs held by the organization. After acquiring the new friends one is obliged to live up to the meaning behind the club's flower which is ffor-get- me-notj. This society began its series of events for the season by a formal dance which was held at the Blub Ridge Country Club. Many other activities were held and a delightful time was had by all. To end our events, a private formal dance for the benefit of the seniors in the club will be held in June. We want to show our appreciation by thanking Dr. Charles B. Fager, Jr., our principal, and the various teachers for allowing iniations and participating in the society's affairs. So the S. C. S. sorority advises its future members and others that Friendship is much dearer than life.

SIGMA PHI The Sigma Phi fraternity is the oldest of its type in William Penn. While it is a social society, it is also devoted to furthering school activities, spirit and good fellowship among the William Penn community. The club members are well represented in all varsity and inter-class teams of the school. One can find them in all extra-curricular activities. Among the clubs activities, the annual Christmas Dance and two parties, one to the pledges and one to the alumni, proved successful. Its members are chosen because of their good name and distinguished ability in dif- ferent activities. A 6117 lls0'I'-MR.

S. B. K. The Sigma Beta Kappa fraternity, one of William Penn's finest social organiza- tions, had its Origin in old Tech High School in 1924. Professor Wolf saw the necessity for better fellowship, sportmanship, and loyalty among the boys of Tech, and it was on these principles that he founded the S. B. K. fraternity. On the roster of this fraternity are aways found a large majority of our upper- classmen. Included in our club this year aie the presidents of both the 12B and 12A classes, the vice president of the 12A class, the associate editor and the assistant business manager of the Sylvanian, the captain of the football team as well as a number of other varsity men, the president of the Athletic Association, and representatives of the basketball and track teams. Committeemen for the various school events and activities are also members of the club. The annual Touchdown Toddle sponsored by the fraternity on Thanksgiving proved this year to be the greatest success it has been for a number of years. The fact that the S. B. K. is the only high school fraternity having an active alumni also adds to the club's credit. This alumni, which was organized shortly after the club was established, holds every year a get-together banquet. For this reason we may truth- fully say, Once an S. B. K., always an S. B. K.

Due to the successful social affairs of our club, we think we have accomplished our purpose. The club is represented in all phases of school life, as its members are chosen with reference to ability displayed in various lines of school activities. Our activities for the year opened wi'h a pledge dance. Following that, a never- To-be-forgotten HalloWe'en party was held at Aker's cottage. The most successful small dance of the year was our Football Prom, the night of the Williamsport game. The climax of the social season reached its climax in June, in the form of our annual Private Dance, hold at the Blue Ridge Country Club. Arlrism'-MR.
