EBNER E ........ ... ...... ........ ....... .... ......... ..... ...... ........ ........ E1 A? Dr. Charles B. Fager, Jr. To the teacher of teachers and pioneer in industrial education, To him whose genial personality is the high ex- ernplification of culture and refinement, The Graduating Classes of 1937, in pride and aiec- tion, dedicate this SYLVANIAN to our principal, Dr. Charles B. Fager, Jr. A TRIBUTE During thirteen years as a member of the faculty of Central High School, during twenty-one years as Principal of the Harris- burg Technical High School, during eleven years as Principal of the William Penn High School, Dr. Fager has ever been the friend and counsellor of youth. Those of us Who graduate this year consider ourselves for- tunate because We have been under the guidance of one Whose sympathetic understanding of high school boys and girls and their problems has been constant for over two score years. The record of Dr. Fager's professional achievements has been an inspiration to us. We learn that he graduated from the Gettysburg Academy and from Gettysburg College. Then he enrolled in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsyl- vania and received the degree of M. D. Because Old Central High School needed a teacher of chemistry and physiology, Dr. Fager began his professional activity in the field of education, rather than medicine. In the classroom and outside, as faculty director and also as chairman of the celebrated Harrisburg Track Committee, as well as President of the P. I. A. A., Dr. Fager won the esteem and affection of young and old. His twenty-one years as Principal of Old Tech is a familiar story to all Harrisburg. As our comparatively new William Penn High School begins to build up her traditions and fame, We recog- nize gratefully that the personality of our Principal is wisely guiding and inspiring us.

Viv is planning to take a business course but, you know, her heart is in Binghamton so you never can tell just what will happen. Here's luck to you, pal, and may you succeed in whatever you do. GERALD VICTOR ANDRUS Academic Jerry You're the dumbest white boy living. Class Day Committee: Score Board: Class Basketball 2, 3: Christmas Party. All the way from Binghamton, New York! Although he has been with us just a short time, Jerry has made many friends and has become the Best Sport of the class. He is going to Akron, Ohio, to learn the Firestund business. Good luck to you Jerry! And oh! girls, is he a good all around athlete!

Here we find our answer to happiness when feeling low. Sylvie's cheerful disposition is a. boon to society.

This combina- tion of cleverness plus personality will attend Duke University to study art in which she possesses outstanding ability. Oh, those poor southern gentlemen! ROBERT BALSER Academic Red What's her name. boys? Volleyball. Red is one of the funniest fellows in our class and one of the best sports as he can take a joke as well as give it. He is the olficial woman hater but sometimes we wonder how long he can maintain his reposition. Helen is his pet hate and she takes great pleasure in pester- ing im.

ANNA MARCEIL BECKWITI-I Commercial MINI I'Ioney. Junior Prom: Usher: Basketball 1, 2, 3: Soccer 1, 2, 3: Archery. Marty wasn't voted the sweetest girl of her class for nothing.

HELEN LOUISE BEIBLE Commercial B0ibl0 So What! Junior Prom: Class Day Dance: Soccer 1, 2, 3: Basketball 1, 2, 3: Volleyball 1, 2, 3: Archery. Beible's athletic conquests Speak for themselves. There is never a game 05 some kind in which Helen doesn't take part. She is really in- dispensable. Too bad she doesn't plan to take up gymnasium work, for her personality and ability would surely get her places in the world. EDYTI-IE BOOKER . Academic Elldl0 Don't be ridiculous. Girl Reserves. Eadie is never still. She's always ready to help the needy. Eadie always has something to say and those who listen do not regret this in- teresting pastime. However. this trait does not keep Eadie from being eiTicient and industrious in her work. After graduation, Eadie plans to travel and then enter Lincoln Hospital for a course in nursing. JOHN A. BOWERS H U Practical Arts Mfmk ' Maybe it's me. Christmas Party: Stagehand 3: Decorating Committee 1, 2, 3: Class Day: Football 1: Halloween Party: Round-Up.

Red Cross: Home Economic Club: Class Day Stall. Dottie can always be identified by her ready smile and pleasant manner. She enjoys helping people, which trait has found her a. large circle of friends. Dottie's quiet, efficient ways and helping hands will benefit her in her career as a nurse. She is planning to attend St. Joseph's Hospital in Lancaster after an interesting vacation in New York. HAROLD BUDNICK Academic Bud l'm going to Baltimore this week-end. Volleyball 1: Class Play: Delta Rho Sigma Fraternity.. Tennis 3. Here is the happy-go-lucky boy of the class. Bud is a rather stout boy but that is no hinderance in stopping him from trucking. Harold, however, has a serious side and is quite an actor. We shall never forget his great acting in the class play. ELIZABETH CALDWELL Academic Betty Me and the Ritz brothers. Banquet Committee. Betty is that sparkling blond whom we usually see with several male escorts. When you see Betty's blue eyes and dainty features you can hardly blame the boys for their attention. Ogontz Junior College will welcome this charming bit of personality after which she will attend Smith College. EMMA CHANDLEE Academic Muley What do you think? Christmas Party: Who's Who. Emma is one of the Big Three or the Triumvirate in Virgil Class. Miss Gardner certainly hates to find one third of this class missing. Emma is quiet but friendly to all. lThat is, all except men, whom she seems to regard with contempt.l With Emma's determination she is hound to come through in her voice study. LEON CLASTER Academic Clast Ready for the debate? Debating Team: Junior Prom Committee: Sylvanian Stall: Motto Committee. Here is one of the most talkative members of the class. He wants to take up Journalism after graduation but we all think he will turn out to be a. politician. Leon is an ardent baseball fan but usually loses most .if the be-ts he makes. We wish him lots of luck. JAMES CLEMM Commercial Sleepy The stulf's here. Usher: Class Day Committee: Who's Who: Sigma Phi, Vice-President: Chairman, Dance Committee. Frequently a Prof. calls Clemm but there is no response as Jim is dreaming of f?l. Your guess is as good as ours. Anyhow he is a model of a perfect gentleman and was voted Class Shiek and Best Dancer. Sleepy may become a second Crosby as he certainly can warble. LYNN S. CLUCK Academic Clark Keep calm, cool and collected. Vice President: Class Prophet: Who's Who: Class Day. Here's the man all the girls are running after. I don't blame them, do you? Clark is very modest and that adds to his popularity. Clark will be back for a Post Graduate Course but is undecided where he'll go next fall. But wherever he goes we know he'll have lots of success.

It's Bernie. lle's always talking but contrary to public belief he really says something. Bernie is quite a popular chap around Penn which is probably due to the fact that he always makes himself known. Bernie intends to take up Business Administration so we can be assured of another success from Penn. EDWARD DAVIS Practical Arts Ed lt's all right. Christmas Party 2, 3: Junior Prom: Halloween Party 2, 3: Class Play. Here he is: the blond, curly haired Adonis of the class. His sunny smile and disposition have made him a favorite among both sexes. How- ever, Ed's interests seem to be other than in the fairer sew. After graduation he wiill attend Coyne Electrical School in Chicago. Here's wishing the cutest boy loads of success. RITA EUKER Commercial Peanut That's what you think.

EUGENE GRADY Commercial Niblick Whatsn wrong! Class Day Committee: Christmas Party. Niblick cannot conceal that he is Irish. I suppose thatfs respon- sible for his jolly nature.

Track, 1, 2, 3: Football 1, 2, il: Usher 2, 3: S. B. K.: Library Stall. Jake is one of the best natured fellows we know in William Penn.

Jake plans to take a trip after school ends, and we wish him plenty of success in life. THOMAS HAGER Academic Tom Arc you going to the Dewrlrop? A good natured fellow all the time, that's 'l'om.

Although I wasnot drowning, I experienced a similar sensation recently. It happened during the daily dash to the lunch-room. My schoolmates were all hot on the trail of the delicious aromas issuing from the cafeteria on the first fioor. A member of the faculty not being in evidence, the tide of humanity flowed down the stairs even more precipitously than usual. Alas for one caught in that headlong rush! There was nothing to do but go along, and this plan I speedily adopted. As I was pushed hither and yon by my classmates, half-crazed with hunger, I had visions of myself dashed to pieces at the bottom of the stairs. It was then, when I believed my school career to be so cruelly and abruptly ended. that I realized how happy our school davs had been. In rapid succession the events of our school life at William Penn fiashed through my mind- I saw again the members of our class as bewildered Sophs wandering through the maze of strange, forbidding halls of William Penn. How hard we tried to look uncon- cerned when we blundered into the wrong classroom. into which we had been steered by the upper-classmen, and were met by the coldly staring eyes of the pupils in that room. We lost a bit of our fear as time marched on and we became more accustomed to- the daily routine. It seemed to us that the first half year is always the hardest, because of the many new things to which we must becfvme familiar. We were thankful for they short summer vacation, which granted us a respite. When we returned in the Fall as dignified Sophs, we were the ones who could direct the new Sophs, into the wrong classroams. During this term we delighted in seeing the senior class give their successful class play Tiger House. Our football team, after quite a successful season, met its arch rival John Harris, and the game ended in a tie, 7 to 7. The senior class put on the Christmas Party with much success. This was our first chance to see anything of this sort, and we enjoyed it very much. We were not declared a full-fledged class until February of 1935, when we became the more honored Junior class. During this year a great many things flashed through mv mind, but all except the most important are blurred. Among the more important things was the election of our class officers. Those elected were: President, Earl Patter- song vice-president. Lynn Cluckg secretary, Mildred Myers, and treasurer, Mervin Gordon. But first of all we had to elect a dean and for this office Mr. R-oorbach was overwhelmingly elected. We again met John Harris for the final game of the football season, and we were defeated, 7 to 0. We next picked the committees for the first important affair that our class was to put on. namely The Junior Prom. We again had the pleasure of witnessing the second Christmas Party, which we enjoyed just as much as the first. On February 1, 1936 we entered into the most important year in all our school life g we were seniors. The first event of this year was to be our Prom, which went over with a bang. I believe we were the first class, in quite some time to make a profit on this event. It seems that the Senior year goes the quickest, and that everything comes rushing along at the same time. The summer vacation passed all too soon, and we were again gracing the halls of William Penn for the last semester. The first thing that reached our ears, when we return, is that Mr. Roorbach our Dean has left us, and so leaving our class without a Dean. Our first task was to elect a new Dean for this office, and Mr. E. E. Knauss was unanimously chosen. The February and June classes combined to present the class play, The Spanish Onion , it was quite successful. The cast was selected from both classes and was directed by Mr. Reuwer. Our class has yet to see a winning football team, that is, to defeat John Harris. We saw our team beaten by a last half rally on Thanksgiving. Although we were defeated, this day will always be a memorable one to us, because, before the game our athletic field was dedicated, and was named Fager Field, in honor of our beloved benefactor and principal Dr. Charles B. Fager, Jr. This year we, as the Senior class had the honor of directing the Christmas Party, and it was attended with the same enthusiasm as in previous years. Now, after a glorious Christmas vacation, we came to the last turn in the road, and our Class Day, Class Dance, Banquet, Baccalaureate Service, and last, but by no means least, our own Commencement, at which the honors were given, prizes awarded, and our diplomas handed to us. Sorrowfully I recall all these events in which I have had a part. Then, just when Ithought the end had come, I found myself on terra firma once more. The crowd rushed on to the desired goal and I, somewhat dazed, remained at the foot of the stairs. To make sure that I was still alive, I pinched myself, Ouch! Yes, I certainly was very much alive. And so ends the most glorious three years in which we have ever had any participation, and which we will leave with fond memories and keepsakes.

Witnesses: lSignedl THE MIDYEARQ CLASS OF 1937. Robert Cook Mary Lebo CLASS PROPHECY Lights! Action! Camera! Mr. and Mrs. WILLIAM PLANK, the former BETTY YOST, fneed we mention it?J with their quadruplets, fMrs. Dionne was so worriedi are in Follywood. The land of hope, inspiring ambitions, and accomplished goals. Mr. Plank, the prosperous owner of The Goodie Foodie chain stores, had finally packed up their troubles, jumped into their 1946 Cord and here they were. The words uttered in the above, were pronounced in a ferocious, commanding tone by Director M. GOLDSTEIN, Foxy Film's illustrious big shot. Mrs. Plank was so shocked to see a former '37 classmate that she stumbled over a wire and fell into a chair conveniently near and turning around observed on the back, MARY HOPE WILSON in large letters. Arising, she spied cameramen, WILLIAM KROW and MANFORD LUTZ who were busily engaged photographing the new screen comedians BERNARD DARROW and GINNY JONES. Later when asked to say a few words on how it feels to hold such an important position, cameraman Lutz replied, Well it's some GRIND but it's the only REEL job in Follywood. The magnificent new Foxy Films Enterprise, Time Staggers On was in produc- tion on the next location. On the way over Oswald Plank, the dear child, wandered into the glorified chorus girls dressing room, known for their distinctive beauty and talent. BEATRICE KRANZ, LLEWELLYN WILT, MARY WENRICH, BETTY CALDWELL, JUNE HEIKES, ANN JONES, and JEAN KIRK were among those noticed when he was finally rescued. No sooner had Oswald been gathered up than Archibald, the family's pride, fHe takes after his God-father, EARL PATTERSON in his ability for getting in and out of mischief D was discovered missing. NABBER MICHAEL the famous film detective with his two alert assistant Snoopers, EUGENE RICE and DAVID BRIGHTBILL, oblig- ingly tracked the young lad to his lair. It seemed that Archie was fascinated by the adept manoeuverings of a western cowboy, EUGENE GRADY lassoing JIM CLEMM who was sleeping peacefully and undisturbed by a group of stage Indians practicing war hoops. Underneath the paint were CHARLES SHUSTER, JAMES MURPHY, ROBERT RID- INGER and JACK BOWERS who were wild Indians to their homeroom teachers back in '37. Without further mishaps the family was conducted by LEON CLASTER, the corporation's well-known guide and one man information bureau to the Time Staggers On set. There they were told explicitly byLLOYD NEUBAUM that silence was neces- sary, in fact they should sit down and shut up. Immediately the Sylvanians led by that master saxophonist, FRANCIS FOULTZ, struck up the band. Drummerman HAROLD BUDNICK who makes Benny Goodman's drummer appear an amateur, beat time for the fast dance number that the famous team of GORDON and EUKER were originating. This spritely pair replaced the Astaire and Rogers of former glory. ELEANOR RUBIN then occupied the spotlight for her hilarious antics. While the Planks were gazing enrapt at these rehearsals, a distinguished director, FRANK GERACE with the wealthy producer, BERNARD LOCK, Mrs. Philbert Smythe Smythe, wealthy society matron and the former ANN LEHRMAN arrived to invite the family to the evening's premiere being held at HIPPENSTEEL'S Huge Hippodromef' Director Lock also explained that there were many former classmates engaged in his productions among whom were ROBERT BALSER 1946's Great Lover. The red hair contributes to his romantic appeal. WALTER SELLERS, star of Boots and Saddle master of the lasso and the yo-yo, Jean Howard, glamorous gold digger of Red Heads on Parade and PAUL TAYLOR, Death Defying Stunt Actor especially adapted to motor cycling. After leaving the movie set, Oscar, Oswald, Archibald and Benjamine, 1 the quadsl accompanied by their parents presented themselves for dinner at the Black Fedora, which they soon discovered was owned by GERRY ANDRUS who had recently retired, undefeated wrestling champion, from the sport world. Inside, HELEN ATKINSON, world famous portrait artist was seen surrounded by many male admirers among whom were EDWARD DIMPLES DAVIS, handsome movie hero and BAD BOY FLEGEAL movieland's favorite film gangster. Sitting at a table was Senator MAYNARD F. FISHER, 1947's nominee for president, looking extremely dignified in high silk hat and moustache, conversing with ALICE ZINDEL, well known Congressional debater. As it was nearly the time specified for the great premiere, the family betook themselves to the theatre where they stopped among the spectators to gaze admiringly at the celebrities. MILDRED KRAUSS, well known author and journalist was the first to step from a long, black limousine. Following this distinguished personage came GLENN PACKER, magnate of the famous Packer cars escorting his efficient private secretary, MILDRED MYERS. Stopping to say a few words into the microphone EMMA CHAN DLEE, world famous soprano flashed a brilliant smile to the applauding audience. In rapid succession came WILLIAM SHAFFSTALL, brilliant playwright and romantic poet, equipped with bow tie, spats and stooge, MARCIEL BECKWITH, America's Sweetheart, JANE SHULTZ, owner of the famous Flower Shop, noted especially for her magnificent Spe- rosesf' VIVIAN ANDERSON, daring ARCTIC explorer leading her pet penguin, Gordon. After the stars had departed into the theatre, taking with them their brilliance and glamour many of the crowd entered to see the wonders within. As the Planks were seated Benjamine immediately began crying because of the hat on the lady in front which resembled a chicken. Mr. Plank tapped the lady on the back to ask her to remove it and he astonishingly found her to be the former MARY LEBO. GRACE LOBAN and LYNN CLUCK were ushered into the seats next. They were in the midst of an old get-together when the great feature began co-starring Simone SIMONTON and WILLIAM ZEIGLER. After this remarkable performance there flashed on the screen the latest news of the world. Parts of the annual Rose Bowl game were pictured and in the center we recognized three roses as being JACOB GREENAWALT, LESTER COHEN and IRVIN GARFINKEL. Another astonishing piece of news was the winner of the Canadian Stork derby contest. The maiden was no other than our own JANE KLOSTERMAN fwe mention her maiden name so we would not create embarrassment for the other person concerned.J The Winners of the Olympics were interviewed by ROBERT COOK, sports com- mentator. These record-breaking femmes, SYLVIA ARMOUR, HELEN BEIBLE, HELEN FINEGAN, and JEAN KEEFER succeeded in capturing the blue ribbons just as they had threatened in their high school days. After such a strenuous day, the children were exhausted so they returned to their hotel. When passing through the lobby they noticed a familiar figure writing at a desk. It was SARA LEVIN, writing that same old letter to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Feeling that the day was a huge success they retired thinking that the old saying Go West, Young Man, Go West really had more to it than just Mae.

It has been truly said that high school days are not a prepa- ration for life, but life itself, restricted but embodying in this restricted area opportunities for development of initiative, direction of activities and ambitions along the lines of character building and the essence of true sportsmanship. For the kindly supervision and the wealth of knowledge which We have found here we will be forever grateful. We shall remember that such a foundation should beget nothing less than success, not monitary perhaps, not laden with conspicuous honors, but filled instead with personal greatness, generosity towards others and a breadth of viewpoint with which we can proudly take our places among the alumni of William Penn.

Gottshall-Pilot Faculty-Officers Dear Dr. Fager: In the fall of 1934 when you docked your good ship for that year's hands you found us, do you remember, a highly anticipatory and self-confident band of sailors. Emerging from the highest ranks of the little tug Camp Curtin we visualized our- selves doing great things. But what a course of sprouts we poor tars had to go through under the eagle eyes of the officers and the amused glances of older shipmates! Many times we would have sent out an S. O. S. except for a kind word from you, Dr. Fager, and your staff's firm but gentle hands of guidance. All through that first year we viewed with unsurpassed interest all the activities of our new life. Big football games, culminating in our first John Harris tossle, called forth our ardent cheers. Peppy assemblies were eagerly anticipated by us new sailors. With similar enthusiasm we scurried from our cabin rooms on Friday afternoons when our work was completed to swell the numbers in the gymnasiums dancing until the supper hour. Then with unprecedented eagerness we celebrated Christmas with the most beauti- ful event on board your good ship, the Christmas Party. At length we had, as all sailors have, crossed the equatorg we were initiated into the realm of Neptune. After our first leave of absence we would return second class sailors with a vital im- portance to our ship. So we went forth, carrying with us new ideals and a determination to live up to our symbols-the orange and black and the royal Penn banner. Back again once more, we now old sailors on the ship of Education felt ourselves more fully able to judge important matters. We were aware of the fact that we were a necessary element to this ever-progressing ship. So with redoubled enthusiasm and spirit we entered into our scholastic and social life. Important organizations sought our mem- bership, class projects called for our assistance. Even the seniors condescended to our helping with their Stampede, a Fair staged in late fall. Our interest in the Christmas Party was greatly increased. After Christmas we juniors settled down to some really serious work for promotion time was coming with the end of January and not one of us wanted to be toppled from the gangplank. Yes, all but a few survived and on we ploughed, sailing ever farther. In the spring we some two-hundred sailors were faced with a great problem, that of organizing our class of seamen. Assembling on the vast deck, we solemnly elected Professor G. H. Gottshall our pilot, Charles Jacobs our first mate, Doris Werkheiser, second mate 5 Anna Belle Taylor, yoeman and Dale Myers, purser. Thus we tided ourselves until our last year of intensive labor which was to end our preparation and send us forth on to the sea of life. . The last leave was over. We entered upon our final year of service with much dig- nity, a superb feeling that comes from a sense of usefulness and responsibility, the feeling of leaders. Once our good ship had gotten well under way, festivities claimed virtually every minute, barringilessons of our last year aboard. Sororities, fraternities, football, section athletics, and 1n1t1at1ons are some of the things that occupied our attention. By the end of October, around the time for ghosts, witches, and cats, we sailors cele- lgrateiii our big dance for the benefit of the Christmas Party. A wonderful time was had y a . Then came Spain, glorious Spain! No, we did not harbor our ship, we just got into the romantic spirit, after an announcement from our purser, and some of our mates gave a play entitled The Spanish Onion. After the performance our highly-talented Sylvan- ians lent more romance to the night as they played on deck. On we ploughed through numerous storms and, after steering clearly of many rocks a great shout was heard from the Crow's Nest: Yo! ho! Thanksgiving day has dawned ! Then it was that we witnessed the dedication of the glorious new Fager Field' in your honor and a well fought football game with our traditional enemy. Ploughing on again we did not stop until December twenty-third came 'round. On this day we jolly seamen celebrated our last Christmas Party in the ship's dining room and on deck. We placed it with much satisfaction among those successful ones gone before and, caught in a whirl of activities, plunged on to our final quarter on your good ship. February brought with it complete seniority rights. We thrilled to this unsurpassed and mighty feeling. But suddenly the startling realization came upon us that our educa- tional voyage was nearly ended. 'Round about May we saw land in the distant mist. In a week we reached port, there to celebrate the glory of Class Day on June 1, the Graduation Ball on June 7, on June 11, a banquet, Baccalaureate June 13 and finally commencement on June 15. Joy and happi- ness reigned until-ah, the end brought serious thought and sadness and tears for some. How bitter was the thought of separation from a ship that had grown so dear and from one another among whom so many close friendships had been formed. But we Were, nevertheless eager to put to the test the knowledge, experience and ideals gained on your good ship, mindful ever of our motto- Enter to learn, go forth to serve. In ending this report I, in behalf of the seniors, want to thank you for a most won- derful and never-to-be-forgotten voyage. Gratefully and affectionately, GENEVIEVE MORGAN, Recorder of the Log. CLASS WILL JUNE, 1937 In the grayness of this particular afternoon the library seemed full of corners and shadows to the middle-aged woman aimlessly wandering there. Gazing at the rows and rows of books stretched in front of her eyes, she was uncertain which of the many to choose. She finally picked one at random and seated herself in the old leather arm-chair by the fireplace, there to enjoy the warmth of the blazing fire and the contents of the book she had chosen. Leafing through the book, she paused at the page titled: The Last Will and Testament of the June Class of 1937 We, the June Class of 1937 of the William Penn High School, located in the city of Harrisburg, county of Dauphin, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in these United States of America, having reached the time when we pass on to further and greater things, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, thus making null and Void any docu- ments heretofore compiled by us.

Witnesses: DARLINE NEWHAUSER RUTH BAcAs'Dow SAMUEL DERICK Open but unheeded, the attractive green and silver book fell to her lap. She was lost in memories. Dreamily she recalled high-school days, so pleasant then and so delight- ful to recollect now. Visions of her classmates came rushing back to her-this one's charm- ing smile, that one's gay chatter. She relived sorority dances and inter-scholastic games, until by the tinkle of the telephone in the hall she was brought back to reality. She gently sighed, then recalled Wadsworth's immortal words Well adapted to high-school memories. For oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon the inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude. PROPHECY The time is 1950, the place is New York as gay and cosmopolitan as ever. To Bennett Jones, a farmer on his first trip to New York, it appeared a trifle terrifying but, neverthe- less, he decided to take the bull by the horns and endeavor to learn just what made the wheels go round. Benny had come to New York to attend a reunion of his class at William Penn High School. Recalling the advice of his neighbor farmers, Kenneth Kemler and Lloyd Prior, to see everything there was to see, he began strolling up Broadway, staring wonderingly at the crowds and the buildings. So engrossed was he in counting the stories of one hotel that he bumped into someone. Imagine his surprise when he recognized Angela Hull, a now well- known artist. She immediately decided that, as a former fellow Dauphinite, it was her duty to help Benny enjoy New York. Before the sight-seeing tour could actually begin, however, Angie had to stop at Saks on Fifth Ave. With Benny in tow, she entered the luxurious dress salon which, she explained, had lfeen decorated by Etta Silverman. While Angie spoke with the head buyer, Betty Nurick, Benny amused himself watching the man- nequins. Three appeared vaguely familiar to him and, upon further inspection, proved to be none other than Hazel Fager, Theresa Euker, and Jessie Cree who were modeling lovely creations designed by Mildred Crist and Darline Neuhauser. After Angela telephoned to her personal secretary, Annabelle Taylor, they went to Radio City where they were destined to see and hear many of their old classmates. The players co-starred in the movie were Violet Stroh and John Frankford who are in private life Mr. and Mrs. In the newsreel they saw Bobby Grove, world's premier sports an- nouncer telling of a new school of athletics founded by Helen Shuman, Anna Riggio, and Helen McElroy with Velma Denk as secretary and Doris Workheiser as treasurer of the school. He also reviewed the prowess of Johnnie Popovici's football team at Penn State. Transferred from the world of sports to Hollywood, they were surprised to see Ann Bush- nell who collects the inside stories about the movie stars interviewing Rhea Beecher, the latest screen siren, Honey Moore, and Bob Shenk in the Sparkling Stars studio where they all happened to be working. Honey is known as America's Sweetheart and Bob is her romantic partner in her latest picture. The next scene in the newsreel was one of excitement and jubilation. Mayor Charles Jacobs was seen welcoming back those round- the-world fliers, Paul Gingrich and Norman Myers who had just completed another record breaking flight. Between the screen feature and the stage show, Angela pointed out that the brilliant organist was Virginia Wirt also noted as a concert pianist. Heading the stage show was Caroline de Lone who has taken Nina Theilade's place as an interpretive dancer. She was accompanied by Earl King's symphony orchestra and the special lighting effects had been arranged by Roger Brown. The scene then changed to one of a Harlem Night Club, with Raychel Waring singing and dancing in the spotlight. Angela then determined to show Benny some of the gayer spots and led the way tor the Rainbow Room in Radio City where, to the sparkling music of Jay Ellenberger's. orchestra, the dance team of Bacastow and Reiter was going through the latest steps with a not-to-be equalled skill. With Master of Ceremonies Kenny Sieger doing the honors quite competently, Jean Jones then occupied the spotlight and truly lived up to the reports which claimed her as the possessor of radio's most thrilling voice. At the end of the floor show, Angela hurried out to keep an appointment with her beauty specialist, Marie Farinella, while Benny returned to his hotel to rest for the big time that evening. When Bennett entered the dining salon some hours later, he was immediately im- pressed by the importance of some of the guests. Milton Garfinkle and Martha Trullinger, whom he learned were leading New York doctors, were discussing the latest novel of Lucille McClure with the foremost geologist of the day, Millicent Landmesser and Rodney Beckel, a distinguished scientist. Morton Eisenburg, Broadway columnist, came up to the group with the news that three of the 1937 graduates were acting in a play written and produced by Howard Rogow. They were Robert Houck, Genevieve Morgan, and Mary Elizabeth Fleming. Suddenly there was a hush! Harris Freedman and Dale Myers entered the room commanding attention from practically everyone. Harris looked every inch the eminent diplomat he was and Dale was a Wall Street financier. They were accompanied by their secretaries, Jean Stricker and Jane Dorwart. Just as quickly as the silence had fallen a few minutes before, a burst of laughter was heard. The reason was that the Ace-com- edian, Jim Shaw, and his Stooge Ben Kline had just made their entrance. They were followed by Stanley Powell who now a pharmacist, Doris Beatty, a nurse, and geologist Gilbert Kushel. In one corner of the room Frank Broxterman, Delmar Treon, and Eugene White were discussing the latest improvements of the Diesel Engines with Ed Stewart who is connected with the Elliott Fisher concern. Another group was composed of graduates who had followed the teaching profession. Mary Morrow, as instructor of business courses was talking with Helen Lewis who has realized her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher and Helen Louise Core, a professor of history. Benny looked quietly on as more and more people appeared. He realized by catching snatches of conversation here and there, that there were many other graduates who had been equally successful as those whom he had seen tonight but whom he would have no time or opportunity to see. Benny was leaving on the first train in the morning, sorry to leave the Great White Way but eager to see Lloyd and Kenneth to tell them all the news. Thus, at six-thirty in the morning we find Benny contentedly lounging in the train reviewing again the wonderful things he had seen and heard.

FGOTBALL CATHOLIC HIGH Our eleven officially opened their football season by defeating Catholic High 31 to 6 before a crowd of 4000. But the greatest event was the unofficial dedication of our new athletic field in honor of Dr. Fager. SHAMOKIN Penn lost their first conference game, under an intense heat, 12 to 0. Penn had several good opportunities to score but luck wasn't with us. COLUMBIA On October 3, Penn won 46 to 0. This was sort of a one-sided affair except in the second period when there was no score. The end runs and forward passes were the features of this game. MOUNT CARMEL On October 9, Friday night, Penn played their only night game of the year. It was played in a downpour of rain with frequent fumbles. Final score Mt. Carmel 6. William Penn 0. STEELTON Over five thousand turned out to see this game and they were not disappointed. Brilliant playing by Speraw who recovered a fumble on the eight yard line, paved the way for the only touchdown. Penn 6. Steelton 0. SUN BURY Here Penn won her first game away from home 6 to 0. This was a nip and tuck battle which almost ended in a riot with all the fans rushing on the field before the end of the game. BERWICK Although Berwick outweighed our team ten pounds per man it did not seem to trouble our team. They kept running the ends and hitting the line with the game ending 20 to 0 in favor of Penn. WILLIAMSPORT On Saturday, November 7, we went to Williamsport on a special train with about a. thousand rooters. Williamsport scored two touchdowns in the first few minutes of play and added another before the game was over. Score 19 to 0. ALLENTOWN Penn lost a hard fought battle to Allentown by the score of 20 to 13. Before William Penn was able to score Allentown scored 20 points. But that did not discourage our boys because they scored 13 points and almost tied the score before the game was over. JOHN HARRIS On Thanksgiving day, William Penn and John Harris met to decide the city championship. Preceding the game the field was dedicated in honor of Dr. C. B. Fager, Jr. The game was well played with Penn lead- ing 13 to 0 at the half. Starting the second half, Harris made all her points and the final score was 20 to 13 in favor of Harris.

FREEDMAN POPOVICI WOLFE SIMPSON CLARK BASKETBALL When we look back over the past basketball season of '37 we find that our season was not as bad as some have made it. Although the team did not win very many games, it always put up a good fight. Our games were lost on an average of three or four field goals or points. Steelton, York, and Reading inflicted the greatest wounds upon us. But it was only in these games that our team was outclassed. In the series for the city championship Penn fell short for the first time in three years. In the first game William Penn proved itself a much superior team. In the second game the tables were turned and Harris netted many shots to give Penn a second thrashing. The third game proved very exciting as Harris made a very startling rally to win the crown. In the series with our other city rival, Catholic High, Penn was the victor with apparent ease. Defeating this school very properly in two games, Penn easily showed her superiority. The scrubs, although they had no schedule played well against Harris but could win only one out of the three-game series. Following was the schedule Saturday, Jan. 2-Lancaster .... . . .

VOLLEYBALL The volleyball season of 1936-37 was very successful, although the out- come Was surprising. The 10A's, 11A's and 11B's lead the League at the start of the season. The 11B's were expected to come out on top because of their splendid showing of last year. The 11B's, however, were defeated by the 10A's in a close set of games. The 10A's .then defeated the 11A's to win the championship. The scores of the championship games are 6, 15 5. 15, 12g 15, 6. The League standing is as follows: W.

Miss Bertha Turner, the director of this sport, is a very good archer and is extremely interested in promoting it. Each girl, before she can try shooting at the target, must be able to pull the bow correctly and must have good posture. Without good posture and correct arm position, the girl would not make a good archer. When, after several weeks of hard practice, the girls were ready to shoot their ninety arrows, they came out fully prepared with eagerness, calmness, and determination to do their best. The tournament ended with the record broken by Helen Shuman, a member of 12B. The highest score before Helen Shuman's, was made by Alma Hull several years ago, her score being 395. Helen's record score was 398. The following four girls make up our archery team with the four highest scores: Helen Shuman ...... .. 398 Doris Werkheiser .... . . 331 Teresa Euker ..... .. 312 Dorothy Devins .... . . 296 r l l 5 l l Reading from left to right, rear row: Morgul, Riggio, Shuman, Graham, Fox, Denk, Morrow, Cree GIRLS' BASKETBALL Basketball continued the girls' athletics with vim, vigor, and vitality. The 12A's, having won the Soccer championship for two conse- cutive years, began this league with unusual interest and enthusiasm. Under the leadership of Captain Velma Denk, the seniors offered much competition which did not slacken during the entire league. The end of the first series found the 12A's and 11B's tie. In the last half, however, the seniors defeated the juniors by a score of 34-19. The forwards' good floor work and uncanny ability to find the basket, together with the guards' excellent passing, secured for the seniors the champion- ship of the school.

DEBATING William Penn, as a member of the Central Pennsylvania Debating League, competed with the Hershey Industrial School, John Harris High School, Steelton High School, Stevens High School of Lancaster and the William Penn Senior High School of York. The question for debate was: Resolved, That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. This was the national high school question. William Penn finished the 1937 season with a record of three victories in the ten debates, that is with a final rating of .300. Our debaters deserve much credit for their faithful Work under their coaches, Mr. Billow and Mr. Strawinski. Miss Aumiller was again the very efficient business manager of the debating society.

USHERS When the bell rings every Friday afternoon there is a group of boys seen going toward the auditorium. On the first floor, head usher, Jake Greenawalt, tells them what books to distribute. On the balcony assistant head usher, Jim Shaw, gives them the same orders. When chapel starts each usher has his position at a certain door, and it is his duty to distribute books, song sheets, and programs to the students. During chapel the ushers stay at their positions so that they might assist patrons to their seats. After chapel it is the duty of the ushers to collect and put the books away. They also put up the seats. The ushers Wish to thank you for your courtesy and support and hope that you may continue it for many years to come. ,336 CHRISTMAS PARTY ,-ug., 'W if 37 fs...
