HENRY VAN DYKE. From Collected Poems, Charles Scribner's Sons. 1940 SYLVANIAN A . In Memoriam MARGARET JEAN RIC'-ITER 1940 - SYLV NIAN - . CLASS PROP!-IECY QQ Time February 1950 Early evening: I just received a letter from Mary Ellen Warren telling about our class reunion of the February class of 1940. Mary Ellen writes that George Caba is one of the largest certified public accountants in the State of Pennsylvania. Oh, yes, Doctor Vincent Allen, noted dental surgeon-Can you imagine that? He always did want to be a dentist, though. Surprises of surprises! Betty Wolfersberger is engaged to Harold Frazer, eminent New York lawyer and you'll never guess who works in his office? Iane White and Virginia Seitz, two classmates of ours. Sure they were all there. Danny Emanuel, William Penn's new football coach, was there. This is his first year at Penn and he has already produced a championship team. Bob Kutz is his new assistant. And speaking of our Alma Materg Sam Stein is the head of the Music Depart- ment and Charlie Fetterman is teaching Problems of Democracy. How do you like that? Dot Davies is also teaching Latin there. Mary Ellen writes that Nancy Larsen, stage and screen star, was there with her actress companion Anne Hess. Anne, herself, was just tested for the part of Susanne in the stage play Suzanne, Where Are You? Leon DeGroot is going to take the male lead. The play was written by Bill Barnes and Donald Keller. Charles Wolfe, manufacturer of the Never-fillet-cars that just came out on the market, was there. Mary Ellen writes that he got the idea for his cars back in the chemistry lab. at Penn. He always was thinking of something scientific. Marion Vernon was there with Orpha Clymer, both trained nurses at the Don't Let 'em Die Hospital in Chicago. You'll never guess whose orchestra played for the dance? Boy Myers- he has several of his classmates in his orchestra includingg Ken Rhineard, playing bass, Chester Long, and Harold Cassey playing cornets, and Elaine Luckenbaugh, having finally reached her goal with her accordian. He also has Richard Yontz and Paul Wieseman in their world famous duet-It certainly is unusual. Did you know that Larry Cirillo and Fred DeAngelo are the heads of a large chain of five and ten stores? l'm glad they are getting along so well. Do you' remember Gwendolyn Eisenberg? Well, she is one of the best women doctors in Philadelphia. What? She's a child specialist. She has as her assistant Geraldine Schreffler. Leonard Yudin, otherwise known as Uncle lim, has his own Children's Hour over the national hookup P. U. N. K. every evening at 7:30. He gives the children instructions on the proper ways and rules of wrestling. Mary Ellen also writes that the author of How Did Disney Miss Me, Frank Puglisse, was there. He gave a synopsis of his new novel, How To Lose Your Driver's License. - 1940 Eugene Gottshall is on the U. S, Olympic team this year-Remember he always was winning swimming medals while at Penn. Another member of the Olympic team this year is Evelyn Sostar, also one of our classmates. I went down to see the double feature at the new Slugem Theater, which was just built by Robert Willis and Co. lt's ownedaby Ralph Bowman:-'A The Lady of the Iunkyardf' featuring Doris Kreiser, is the main -feature. 'It 'will be funny seeing her in the movies and remembering when she was the Whiz of our French class. The other feature will be Evelyn. Samuels and Mary Iohn- son in The Long and Short of It. The stage show will be Ernest Piccolo's Scandals of 1950. He has as his feature dancers, Ruth Schyltz, Betty Cless, and Eve Orsini. I Did you say a long letter? Twelve pages. ,I Won't tell you everything, just some of the highlights of the kids at the reunion. Did you know that the dietitian, Iune Kuhlwind is demonstrating the new cereal Crushed Hay which incidently was discovered by the great chemist Norman Smith. ,-out 'J' ' Oh yes, our dean Missfiilltlttfiiller was there. She gave the kids alecture on Personality and Character? 'By the Way, did you- see the names of the All American football team for 1950? They were selected from the professional football teams all over the country. Several members of our great team of 39 are listed, including Robert Wolfe, Earl Blizzard, Don Machamer, and Iohn Allen. I-Iave your heard the news about Betty Dunlap, Gene Rein, and Ada Lauver? They are the typists and clerks for the Sanderson and'Stahl law offices. Do you remember Iohn Stahl in school? I never thought he would be a lawyer. Q A ' Q Charles Smith and Iay Manning are the First Aid Instructors inthe Na- tional First Aid Building in Washington. It seems our First Aid course at Penn helped these boys get into the world. . 7 What? Well, there isn't much more of any importance going on. I've told you everything about the reunion. -Goodbye. , ' I Signed: 1 I I IOHN MENGER, 'I I ELAINE MORRIS. 1940 - ' SYLVANIAN CLASS HISTORY The logs in the fire blazed merrily and filled the room with a warm, mellow light. The house was so quiet and still, thought the old wcman, since her husbands death. As she sat there musing by the fire, the room suddenly seorned tc have become alive with memories, memories of the past carefree days she had known-- The years slipped away and she was once more a bright-eyed school girl. She saw again her bewildered class as Sophmores, wandering through the maze of halls with an awe-stricken look on their faces. Usually, when they asked the direction of a room, they were calmly sent in the wrong ctircc tion. Upon barging into the wrong room, they shamefully muttered Cin apology, and were met with looks of scorn by their upper classmcn. Eventually a definite routine was given them and life began to brighten up once more. They soon learned to feel at hcme in the great institution of learning which was presided over by Dr. Charles B. Fager, Ir., whom they all learned to love and respect. In the early spring of 1937, the entire student body presented a play called Campus Daze, which proved to be a great success. The summer vacation passed swiftly and when they returned for the second semester they found themselves dignified Sophs. VVhat fun they got out of razzing the new rookies On November 4 and 5, the senior class presented Iunior Sees It Through, an hilarious comedy. Of course, remembered the old woman, with a smile, her class sold a large amount of tickets. On Thanksgiving day, the new Pager Field was dedicated in honor of William Penn's beloved principal, but Iohn Harris, Penn's arch rival, triumphed over her 39-O in their annual football match. lt seemed almost no time at all till they were upperclassmen, Iuniors, to be exact. The first big event of their Iunior year was the operetta the school gave, entitled Captain of the Guard. There were a lot of initiations, school dances, etc. The track team came through with flying colors. The Basketball season was a success, William Penn playing Reading for the championship at Lancaster. Unfortunately, the team lost the game after a valiant fight. Vacation fairly seemed to fly by and the class returned to find themselves in the last half of their Iunior year. There were several important events of the semester. Among them: were the election of the class officers, which were as follows: Class President, George Caba, vice-president, Vincent Alleng secre- tary, Rosie Alperg treasurer, Ray Gottshall. Miss Aumiller was selected as dean of their class. The Senior class presented the Stampede which went 1940 'W'T-.T '- SYLVANIAN --l-L--...-. :QIX 1. . .W off with a bang. Halloween came with all its mysteries, goblins, witches, and jack o' lanterns. Football season rolled around again and once more William Penn met Harris on Fager Field. Thanksgiving day dawned cold and blustery, but a record crowd witnessed the game. Unfortunately, neither team could score, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. The Christmas festivities claimed the attention of the school. Plans were made for the yearly Christmas party, for formal dances, for carol singing, etc. Graduation time for the Seniors was at hand. The Iuniors watched the many preparations, thinking that at the same time next year, they too, would be participating in the same activities. Suddenly, they were Seniors. What a thrill it was at last to become those dignified Seniors. They were on the last stretch of their school year. One of the most important events of their Senior year, was the Iunior Prom, which the class put on. Soon after this affair, plans were made to present Robin Hood a well-known opera. In the midst of these many preparations the school was suddenly plunged into deep sorrow by the death of its beloved benefactor and principal, Dr. Pager. Mere words cannot express his loss to the school and to the com- munity as well. In the words of his pastor, Reverend S. W. Herman, he was The most popular and respected man in Harrisburg. Shortly afterwards the opera Robin Hood was presented. It was a tremendous success and was hailed with enthusiasm by those who saw it. After vacation, the Seniors found themselves with but a few short school months. Someone once said there is so little .time and so much to do, and the class found they had much to do. The well-known play You Can't Take It With You was put on, on October 19 and 20. Although they had a good season, the team met a disas- trous defeat at the hands of Iohn Harris by a score of 6-0 on the newly established Thanksgiving Day. William Penn was nowyunder the guidance of the new principal Mr. Clarence Zorger, who soongained the confidence and respect of the entire school. Commencement time appeared on the horizon. There were many final details to be carried out in regard to their graduation plans. At last the excitement was over and they realized their final school days were over. But somehow they felt sorry in leaving, they knew they would miss the good times they had had. The shrill ringing of the doorbell brought the aged woman back from her reverie and as she went to answer it, there was a sad smile on her face as she thought of those happy carefree days she had known.

The drops of rain beat a lulling pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat on the roof of the house. A broken old man sat in front of the red-brick fireplace, keeping his thin body warm from the chill of the outside world. He looked pale and wan, and his face was lined with age, marks of the battle and strife of life. One might wonder how he survived, clinging by a thread to life's stout cable, wavering like a shade between death's clammy door and life's cold chamber. He held a small book in his hands, and was reading it with difficulty. y The book was a poetic anthology. He was reading some of Browning's verse, when he chanced upon the lines Rabbi Ben Ezra. Grow old along with mel The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith, 'A whole I planned, Youth shows but half, trust God: see all, nor be afraidl' Grow old? Yes, he had grown old. He was seventy-seven years old. It had been a full life he had led, sad, impressive, yet joyous and vigorous. He had lived to see the turn' of the century. Now it was the year 2000, a strange, fantastic world from the one he formerly knew. What glory in the unforgotten past! What glory in the remembrance ot a truly wonderful youth. Fanned by such thoughts, the spark of life glowed a little brighter and the old man could see quite clearly the best years of his life passing before him. Now he was a small boy entering school. How scared he had been! Now less scared and much wiser he was attending Camp Curtin. And then, he could see quite clearly now, but one word seemed always to evade the limited scope of faulty memory. At last there it was! William Penn! A wave of nostalgia swept over this lonely but rugged disciple of the past. What glory had been his! What glory theirs, the Iune Class of 1940. How easily now the thoughts and events of his days in William Penn passed in review before his mind's eye. And why not? For he had been historian of his graduating class. He could almost remember it now word by word. What a job it seernedg and how proud he had been when the Sylvanian had come out. He had considered it one of the best of his high school works. Then fondly musing and in a voice strengthened by the stimulus of past joys he spoke as to himself. Recollections are sweet, remembrances, the priceless gems of the future. This might be the thought of one attempting to record the events of the Iune Class of 1940. Ours has been a not to be forgotten stage in the life of William Penn and it is with pride that we pass in review the number of outstanding accomplishments we have effected. - For the time being let us leave all thoughts of the Future and go back a few short years to the time when as insignificant but determined sophomores, we entered William Penn. All misgivings and feelings of fear were quickly dispensed by the encouraging welcome delivered by our late beloved prin- cipal Dr. Pager. 1940 SYLVANIAN e - -.-:.- Our first dramatic entertainment was the Senior play, Iunior Sees It Through. It was fine entertainment and roused our hopes regarding similar accomplishments in our next two years in William Penn. The next enterprise to arouse our enthusiasm was the Christmas Party, Tech's and William Penn's annual effort for the poor children. How impressed We were, some even shedding tears, as we viewed the consequences of the wonderful spirit of Christmas manifested through our own and our upper classmen's efforts. Spring and operetta time! The presentation Mr. McCord's first in our school was Captain of the Guard, a very colorful show. We were all doubly proud of this effort as some of the pupils in our class even had leading parts. The Iune Class graduated and our year of apprenticeship was over. I-low good we felt as we entered William Penn at the beginning of our second year. No longer lowly sophomores. We had dropped the scared sheepish look and with firm steps and bright eyes we threaded our way through the halls. Again we supported the football team through a rather mediocre season to receive our reward on Thanksgiving Day when our heroic boys fought a highly rated Harris eleven to a O-O tie. What a battle as both teams struggled in a veritable snow drift in the midst of a cutting wind which threatened to drive us all to shelter. A-gain we had the great pleasure of viewing and even taking part in another Xmas Party at which over lU0 children were again made happy. Christmas over we gave our support to one of the finest basketball teams William Penn has ever produced. Our boys won all but one league game to end in a tie with Reading for first. ln the resulting playoff Reading topped us in a hard fought game 36-31. Spring brought with it not only joy and refreshment but deepest sorrow. On March 23, our beloved guide and principal passed away. We shall never forget the man nor the event. Mourning was in evidence everywhere, teachers, pupils, alumni, all deeply saddened by the passing of one dear to all who knew him. As he lived, so he died. A calm peaceful life ended in happy peaceful death. No one that ever knew him shall ever forget him. Much honor and tribute must be given to Mr. Wilson, boys advisor, who very heroically filled Dr. Pager's seat of office until completion of the term. His was a most difficult task and he filled it admirably. Our opera, for such it was, was Robin Hood by De Kaven. I-low hard we worked to make this show a success. Needless to say it was one of the biggest and most colorful musical productions presented at our school. Graduation time and once more we were forced to bid adieu to many friends we had made. Our class was organized amid much tumult and harangue and Ioseph Smith was elected President, Ierry Waxman, Vice President, Mary Ann Grove, Secretary, Herbert Rupp, Treasurer. As Seniors we experienced perhaps the happiest year of our school life. We got off on the right foot by presenting a very fine play, You Can't Take It With You. What fun we had viewing the rather strange tactics of the Sycamore family as interpreted by our own pupils. Much credit must of 1940 ' SYLVANIAN 41+-.., course be given to Mr. Reuwer under whose capable direction this under- taking was accomplished. Iohn Harris 6, Wililam Penn U. Thus we ended our football season. But this score was certainly no indication of the fine season our football team went through. We swept through our season with the loss of 2 games. Next to arouse our emotions was the presentation of a fine portrait of the late Dr. Pager. Amid much renewed sorrow, we gathered in tribute to his memory to receive a last symbol of this venerable Doctor. Most impressive was the gathering of pupils, teachers and old friends. Our last Xmas Party was a never to be forgotten event which all of us will retain in our memory for a lifetime to come. We all contributed gener- ously, by donations and with our service on various committees, to make this party worthy of the time and occasion. At last, very reluctantly we began preparations for the final step into the uncharted future. Plans for graduation and college were the chief con- versation of most of us as we look with expectant eyes to the future. Came spring and once more the halls and music rooms resounded with the sound of tryouts and rehearsals for our annual musical show. This time it was a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The Mikado. We inaugurated the arrival of our new music teacher, Mr. William Blough, with a fine musical performance which pleased and thrilled every spectator in our twice crowded auditorium. But alas! Again we return to the present and thoughts of the future. Parting, truly sweet sorrow, is made even sweeter by our high ambitions and hopes for each individual in years to come. We hope that we have carried out the traditions and customs in the best possible way and that we have properly benefited by these past three years. And so saying we bid adieu to our many friends and teachers we have encountered in William Penn. The fire flickered brightly once more. A feeling of Warmth and comfort pervaded the atmosphere of the room. Suddenly the old man started. He heard voices! Familiar voices! Now dimly he could see once more the classroom where he had spent his last school days. The teacher entered and was calling the roll. All was still except the clear voice of the master ringing out the names of the classmates. Then loud and clearly his own name rang out. He started nervously, then answered I am here. The master had arisen and was approaching him with outstretched hands and beaming coun- tenance. He was saying something rather hard to catch. Then, You have fought a good fight, you have run your raceg you have kept the faith: and now there is waiting for you the crown which the master himself shall give you. The schoolroom and voices of his classmates vanished. All that re- mained was the beckoning countenance of the Master. The old man closed his eyes for the last time. When his little granddaughter came to awaken him for bed, she saw the smile of triumph which adorned his wrinkled coun- tenance. It was unnecessary to awaken him for bed. For he now dwelt in the place of eternal rest and peace. At last in death he had achieved all that which he had striven for and failed to obtain in life. -1940 A .. ...........1.......... SYLVANIAN ' CLASS PROPI-IECY The other day Iane and I decided to go to the movies since our children were taking their flying lessons, and we had nothing to do in our spare time, We were really surprised to see how many of our old classmates have devel- oped into important people of the world today, in the year 1960 As we walked down the aisle, I recognized loy Price, the famous poetess of the day in the audience. Further down was Mr. Ioseph Todd and his wife, the former Mary Ann Grove, with their daughter, Suzy. With much difficulty and confusion, lane and I finally got seated and, much to my sur- prise, I found I was seated next to our former classmate, Nancy Wirt, who is happily married to a professor of Penn State to whom she was engaged since she graduated. A few rows in front of us, Iane recognized Pearl Koplo- vitz, one of the most highly-paid designers in the commercial World today. We couldn't get her attention to say hello, so we settled down to watch the movie. Then the newsreel flashed on the screen, cluttered with our old class- mates, and some not so old. First, we saw that famous and well publicized kidnapping case. lt was brought up before the Supreme Court after having been in the lower courts. The judge of the Supreme Court was no other than one of the most intelligent boys of our class, Kenneth Beittel. The child who Was kidnapped was the offspring of Eleanor Freedman, who had married a millionaire and was very happy. Francis Stein, a classmate of Eleanor's was the nurse of the child. The detective who was certain that, had the case been up to him, it would surely have been solved, was Herbert Rupp, whose father was once the Chief of Detectives. The President of the U. S., Ioseph Smith, also president of our class, talked with a few members of the Cabinet. The President is very well liked, and was offered a fourth term, but he is debating whether to take it. When the reporters asked Smith for a statement on his fourth term prospects, he beamingly replied, I think I'll go fishing. His secretary, Francis Wanbaugh, took notes on the discussion. Among the Cabinet members, we noted Barbara Hanst, voted the efficient woman of the U. S. From the President's discussion, we turned to the excellent playing of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. The concert pianist was Betty Lloyd, who took such an active part in the musical activities back at William Penn. Betty went from the bottom to the top of the ladder and is now at the height of fame. Also playing in the concert was Ruth Yoffee, that well-known violinist, and Teddy Lorenz, who was in high school, the best trombone player of the United States, and now, is the best in the world. Bruce Cooper was the singer, and the audience appreciated him so much that he had many encores. Among the millions of people in the audience, We were shown Many Warfel, the wife of that famous movie star, Spencer Gable, and Lorraine Hassler, the dignified society matron, sitting in the front row. Next we saw the Wimbleton tennis match, played in England. The famous - 1940 - -'I . SYLVANIAN - -..-1 doubles champions, representing United States, were the daughter and son of Almeda Pager and Alan Morrison, one-time National champions. Almeda, very proud of her child's playing, was cheering for her on the sidelines and was wearing a glass dress, quite the rage this season. It did our hearts good to see the children of our classmates following so successfully in their parent's footsteps. The coming attractions were next. The movies for tomorrow looks won- derful, but both jane and I will probably be so busy tomorrow playing mah- jong or flying, we won't get a chance to see it. Maybe we can see it when it comes to one of the downtown theaters. It will be cheaper anyway. The prices of the uptown movies-51.50-are outrageous! Well, to get back to the picture-it's called Guess Who, and the leading players are those famous players of the screen-Reba Blizzard and Vernon Hoover. The third woman, who is always involved in any love story, is Mary Lewis, that well known ingenue and heart breaker. An added attraction of the movie is the great singer, Irving Deutsch, whose voice makes every woman's heart go pitter-pat. The director of the movie is Miriam Frankel, who directed such great movies as And the Wind Went and George Washington in Penn- sylvania. The photographer is Sherman Albright, well-known for his tech- nique, and Iack Martin, the painter of the day, is the artistic advisor. The main feature finally came. It was called Remember When. Many members of the staff were in the class of 1940. The famous woman director, Resta Penland, was one. Marie Garverick, an excellent dancer, and her hus- band wrote the lyrics for the musical side of the show. Iames Trullinger, an expert stagehand, and one of the best in the history of William Penn, was the electrician. The camera work was done by Robert Morrow, whose ability is known the world over. The plot of the feature turned out to be just fair to middlin', although the acting was good. It was a love triangle, the same old story, with the heroine killing herself and the hero and the third woman living happily ever after. The hero was Philip I-Ieimerdinger, who always was a good-looking chap. Now he has just won the Oscar for his excellent acting. The young lady who played opposite Phil was Mary Lil Milholland, who took a part well-suited to her, that of a society woman. The third woman, who finally won the hero by treachery, was Doris Kriner, a lovely and enticing blonde. There was a large cast of famous actresses and actors. The girl-comedian was Io Powell, who was quite a cute little card in her day-a regular joker. Opposite Io, playing the male comedian, was Harry Coss, who took the part of a Shakesperian actor and had everyone always rolling in the aisles fat least so the press agents say, although we never saw anyone in the aisles.l james Brown, who always plays the character parts so well, was a Catholic priest, and his philosophy was so inspiring that most of the women in the audience were in tears. And so, lane and I both agreed, it was worth the price of admission just to see our former classmates, all of whom hitched their wagons to a different star, and each one has reached their goal.

Mr. Anthony K. Wilsbach and Mr, D Victor Emanuel are the varsity coaches, and Mr. Harold Gottshall and Mr. Charles Ebner drill the junior varsity squad. Mr. Wilsbach, head coach of the team, played fullback on the United States Cliainpiori ship Harrisburg Tech team of l9l9, and with the great Karl Beck as the outxztanding star ol the eleven. The two teamed to score the great majority of Techs 701 points, and both were bruising, hardfdriving backs. Mr. Wilsbach starred in college football at Bucknell University, and then turned professional and joined the Frankfort Yellowjackets, now called the Phila delphia Eagles. He later played with Atlantic City and Cibberton, and in N27 came to William Penn to coach football. Mr. Fmanuel has had a long and brilliant career as a iCt?SlfIT1'WVlI'1fI ond, lle started at that position for Harrisburg Tech, and outshone all his competition in college ball at Cet- tysburg. ln l9l7 he teamed with an Army Service squad, and followed that by playing lor the professional Massilon Tigers, HolmesburgA. C., Pottsville Maroenzw, Atlantic City Blue Tornadoes, and finally with the Lancaster A. C, He went to Harrisburg 'llcctli cis: a:a::i:atcirit ccach, then became head coach at Coatesville High, and ended by returning to llarrizzburg as Penn's assistant coach. Mr. Gottshall was another starter on the famed Tech team ol lfllfl. Hc played college football on the Shippensburg State Teachers eleven, and then cvoaclied Dartiy lligh ol Philadelphia and Weehawken High of New lersey before ccriinfj to lieriii in l933. Mr. Ebner was an end on the Shippensburg State Teachers varsity, and coached at Defiance High School. He became a member of the William Penn stall just this season.

CRAMPTON PASSES 14TH ANNIVERSARY For fourteen years now, Doctor Crampton has cared for William Penn atheltic teams. Teams have come and gone, but Doc still remains. Even before William Penn was built, he took care of Harrisburg teams, for he was team doctor at Harrisburg Tech from 1918 until the close of that school. As to his schooling and medical career, the following may be said: He graduated from Central High School in l899 where he was the only colored boy to ever become class orator. In 1903, he graduated from the Howard University Medical School and then served as an in- terne at the Philadelphia Polyclinic Hospital. After leaving Philadelphia, he came to Harrisburg, started his practice, and became associated with the athletic teams of the Har- risburg Public Schools. Doc serves faithfully as the school doctor in every sport, and takes time out of his professional practice to attend all the games and meets. Doc not only builds up the boys physically, but also fires their spirits to fight for dear ol' Alma Mater. lf Doc can not come to a game, the boys feel that it takes away some of their inspira- tion and fight. His impromptu speeches and jokes on the eve of the Thanksgiving Day football game are an annual affair at William Penn, and his fund of humor has made him the center of frivolity of many a locker-room confab. SYLVANIAN PENN TIGERS OVERCOME CATHOLIC CRUSADERS The first game of the season opened under the light at McDevitt Field before a record crowd. Predic- tions pointed to a Tiger victory by an overwhelming score, but the Crusa- ders had different ideas in mind. Penn had been practicing for only three weeks and had no trick plays in their repertoire, therefore, she had to stick to land warfare and depend on hurling blockers from tackle to tackle in an attempt to weaken the much lighter Catholic line. Catholic, knowing this, set up a seven man line and managed to stop the thrusts of the highly-vaunted Tiger. Since Catholic had several more weeks practice than Penn she was able to cut loose with an assortment of trick plays, and Ben Russ, the King Rich- ard of the Crusaders, heaved passes all night over the Dust Bowl. Catho- lic presented a small but fierce fight- ing line which was hard to crack. As the Penn coaches put it later, We could swamp Catholic every year if we would play them later in the season, is probably the secret of the whole affair. The first quarter was slow and un- interesting. The teams battled near midfield and a punting duel prog- ressed between Ben Russ and Danny Emanuel. Half way through the second quar- ter the Tigers got the ball near mid- field and sparked by Emanuel's in- spiring runs planted it on the Catho- lic 8 yard line. On the next play Big Abe Ashby split the center of the Blue Wall and fell over the goal line. Berrier dashed into the game to do his duty-that extra point- and the Orange and Black enjoyed a 7-0 lead at half time. In the third quarter Catholic re- covered a fumble on the Penn 35 yard line. Up to this time the Penn line had been throwing the Crusa- der backs all over the field, but now Ben Russ and his cohorts seemed to have an easy time pushing over a tally, The extra point went wide of its mark, however, and Penn still led, 7-6. Later in the same quarter, a Penn lineman blocked a Catholic High punt, and Hank Houze, stellar defense, scooped the pigskin up, eluded several tacklers, and raced 40 yards to score the second touch- down and end the scoring for the night. Penn 13 Catholic 6 GABE EMANUEL CAPTAINS TEAM TO MANY VICTORIES Our captain, Danny Gabe Emanuel has a brilliant future to look forward to. Many people are of the opinion that, had he played end this year, he would have made the All- State first team. In his first two years Danny played a bang-up game at end. Then in his senior year he was shifted to full back to fill up the gap left by the ineligi- bility of Bob Kutz, Dan is one of those sixty minute players that coaches dream about. He tackles viciously and blocks fiercely, but best of all, he runs with the speed of an antelope when totin' the leather. Emanuel, is a slashing off- tackle man who like Harmon of Mich- igan, thinks that the best way to elude a man is by bowling him over, The crowd always comes to its feet when Dan starts one of his famous end sweeps, and they delight in watching him slap down would-be tacklers. On the track field Danny has no equal. He blazes down the century in 9.8, and steps high, wide and handsome in that 220. When it comes to toppin' the timbers, fleet-footed Danny knows no peer. He skims the 120 highs in l4.9, a mark many college boys are still hoping to at- tain. No, William Penn can never forget one Danny Gabe Emanuel. , 2 PENN TRIPS SHAMOKIN TO THE TUNE OF 13-0 The first game of the season on Pager Field resulted in a William Penn victory. The Tigers displayed plenty of power and rolled up twelve first downs to none for the visitors. ln direct contrast to this advantage was the loss by Wm. Penn of fifty yards through penalties to none for Shamokin. An amusing statement by The Founder probably sums up the whole situation. Every player except the bench saw action, with the possible exception of the coaches, who are a bit too old to play. From the very start of the game it was evident that Wm. Penn was going to win. Half way through the first quarter Penn got hold of the ball on their own forty-five yard line. Then put- ting five men in front of the ball-carrier on almost c-very play, the Penn battery literally ripped the coal-miners' line to shreds and marched fifty-live yards to the promised land. The drive was climaxed by a slick reverse play from Ashby to Emanuel which completely fooled the fast- tirina Shamokin boys and was good for twelve yards, This march proved that the Tigers at last reached their peak, and were set to have a good season if they kept up the good blocking and teamwork which is essential to every strong team. They also proved that they had some much-needed reserve power, After two scoreless periods, Wadley, on the first play of the fourth quarter, circled his own right end for four yards and the second Penn touch- down. This was another one of those slashing, sustained drives. After this, second and third stringers finished out the game and almost scored again as the game ended in a glorious Penn victory, l3-U. WADLEY, SNYDER 6. EMANUEL 1 CROSS GOAL: PENN VICTORIOUS In perhaps the most exciting game of the season, Wm. Penn came from behind twice to defeat a flashy Reading team under a hot, mer- ciless sun. Several minutes after the opening kick-off, Reading opened up its attack, and for- wards, laterals, and shovel passes filled the air. Dracha, Reading end, seemed to be catching all the tosses, and in no time at all the Pretzels had a touchdown, but they missed the extra point. Penn waited patiently for an opening. Near the end of the first quarter it came. Then the Orange backs started crashing through the heavier Reading line, and marched goalwarrf. The end of the first quarter stopped them mo- mentarily. Continuing their whirlwind attack, the Tigers moved the ball to the Reading three-yard line. l-fere Emanuel leaped completely over the line and scored. The extra point was wide, Near the end of the second quarter the Fted Knights intercepted a Penn pass deep in Orange terrif tory, and in a few plays passed themselves to another touchdown. Again the try for the extra point failed, Penn 6-Reading l2. ln the third quarter, Emanuel intercepted a for- ward pass and ran 99 yards for a touchdown, Ed Berrier scampered into the game and booted the extra point squarely between the uprights. This was the turning point of the game, and Reading never had a chance after that. The Pretzel-Benders tried desperately to come back, so desperately, that they started throwing passes in their own territory. Dave Snyder grabbed one of these passes and raced twenty yards behind perfect blocking for the final score ol the game, Penn l9-Reading l2. PENN AND MT. CARMEL TIE 6-6 NEW UNIFORMS INITIATED The Penn Tiger was very tame on this after- noon, and came to lite only once, and then in the fourth quarter. Perhaps the new red, white and blue streaiiilined uniforms took their minds off the game. After such a grueling game at lteadina the Tigers were due for a letdown. At the start of the game when Penn made her appearance on the field, she was received with a tremendous ovation from the home stands. The new glamour-boy suits and the thrilling reports of the Reading victory had attracted sev- eral thousand rootere: to Pager Field. After a :scoreless first half, Mt. Carmel scored on the outplayed 'l'igers but missed the extra point. Penn O HMI. Carmel 6. An intercepted pass in the 4th quarter set up the lone Penn score, Ashby engineering the in- terception. lfmanuel quick-kicked on the first play and the ball was downed on Mt. Carmel':: one-yard line The rugged Penn line finally came to life and looked like league-leaders once more ai: they rushed Parvis' kick and saw it bobble weakly out of bounds on the Carmel's 29 yard line. With the Penn forward wall taking bia chunks out of the Mt. Carmel line and bang- ina down the secondary, the backs slipped and fouaht their way to a score in four plays. The play that turned the trick was a fast- breakina reverse in which Wadley snagged the ball from the tailback, grabbed two blockers from the center at the line, and galloped around left end. Wadley scored from the six-yard marker. l3errier':: place kick for the extra point was blocked. Penn touiiht vehemently to score again but the game ended, Penn 6-Mt. Carmel 6. PENN DOWNS STEELTON FOR FIRST TIME ON HOME FIELD For the first time in Penn's history, a William Penn football team defeated Steelton, at Steel- ton, in a game full of thrills. Unfortunately, how- ever, Larry Cirillo had his wrist broken and his services were lost to the team for the remainder of the season. A startled Penn Tiger was scored on quickly in the first quarter and the early part of the second quarter to trail quite unexpectedly, 12-0. The Penn rooters were shocked to silence and they remained still hoping for the best. Soon Penn had the ball on the Steelton 43 yard line. The old off-tackle play started it off when Emanuel scampered 43 yards behind teeth-jar- ring blockers for the initial Penn score. In the second quarter the Tigers put on one of their famous powerhouse drives and finished it up with the old one-two. Wadley dived across from the three-yard line and the score stood 12-12 at half time. At the start of the third quarter the Blue tried to open up a passing attack, and Emanuel hauled down one of these heaves and raced 56 yards for another score. Berrier kicked an extra point, making the score read Penn 19- Steelton 12. Penn again, started hammering and pounding away at the weary Steelton line with the big siege guns. Wadley and Emanuel. With the ball on the Steelton 6-yard line and the Steelton defense spread to stop Emanuel and Wadley, Snyder crossed them by sneaking though the center of the line and scoring. Ber- rier again booted the extra point, One more in the fourth quarter the Tigers rolled 43 yards for a touchdown. Emanuel cli- maxed the drive by ploughing 8 yards for the score. Penn 32-Steelton 12. SUNBURY FALLS IN PATH OF ONRUSHING TIGER DRIVE William Penn hit the comeback trail in the second half to defeat the Sunbury Owl, after having spotted him several points in the first half. A Sunbury back had scored on an intercepted pass in the second quarter and the extra point was made, giving the Night-Birds an enjoyable but short-lived 7-U lead at half-time. On the first play alter the kick-off in the second halt, Wadley sprinted 63 yards on a well- executed off-tackle play. The try for the extra point failed, and Sunbury still lead, 7-6. By this time the Penn fans were aroused, and sensed another Steelton comeback in the making. Penn's mighty reserve forces were gradually wearing down Sunbury's rugged linemen, when all of a sudden a miracle did happen. The Owls got a break and pushed across a six-pointer The Tigers growled back with a breath-taking 60 yard touchdown march. Again the extra point failed, Penn was still behind by one point, 13-12. Early in the fourth quarter Emanuel scored his second touchdown of the game when he went over from the three yard line to climax a 67 yard touchdown parade. Berrier came into the game as a decoy to kick the extra point, while Dave Snyder really sneaked through for the score to put Penn ahead, 19-13. A few mo- ments later the heavy Penn machine rolled and blasted its way 49 yards to another score, Ashby's score put the game on ice, and Penn flooded the field with substitutes. Sunbury was still trying, and after Henry Houze kicked off, they opened up with a smart passing attack. Emanuel pulled down another one and streaked thirty yards down the north side of the field for the final tally. Once again Snyder scored the extra point., Penn 32-Sunbury 13. POTTSVILLE HANDS PENN FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON Under a cold, black sky and bright field lights, Pottsvilles Bud Evans scampered to two scores and passed to another one to swamp a bewil- dered Penn Tiger. Evans two six-pointers took the heart out of a rallying Penn team and stop- ped the Tiger advance. Penn had opportuni- ties to score, but the old disease fu1nbleitis always broke out when the Harrisburg team came within striking distance of the goal line. Play was fast as William Penn started off the fireworks by punching across two first downs in rapid succession. Then Emanuel, while at- tempting to plunge through the center of the line, fumbled. Pottsville recovered the ball near their own 40 yard line. Here a kicking duel ensued until the Night-Raiders got the ball in a favorable position near mid-field. From that position, Pottsville finally scored on a thirteen- yard pass from Evans to the left end. ln the second quarter fjvans made an unbe- lievable run through the entire Penn team. lic took the ball, dashed around end, twisted from tackler after tackler as he weaved and reversed his field, and scored just 54 yards from the line of scrimmage. With this tally the half ended, Penn O, Pottsville l3. Immediately aiter the second half opened, Penn started an inspired drive into Pottsvillo territory, but lost possession of the ball, Evans bobbed 64 yards to another touchdown in a dazzling run. Emanuel played a great game for Penn, tackling, blocking, and plunging for sixty minutes of heart-breaking football. Penn worked the ball on a sustained drive to Pottsville's eight near the close of the game, only to lose it on a fumble. A bitter, alooniy Tiger went home with championship hopes crushed, with a loss, Pottsville l9-Penn U. J 5 ! s ' ms 5500 SPECTATORS WITNESS PENN-WILLIAMSPORT DEADLOCK Before 5,550 or more spectators, William Penn's Tigers outplayed but did not outscore a plucky Williamsport team that stiffened its forward wall to halt all Tiger goal-line drives. An early Penn march stalled on the Billtowner's one yard line, and for the rest of the game Penn had trouble reaching scoring territory again. The Billtowner fans were sadly disappointed as the Millionaire backs were spilled effectively by the Penn defense. The Tiger was charging so well on the defense that all of the Williams- port backs left the game with their jerseys and uniforms tinted a beautiful grassy green. llanny Emanuel sparked Penn's famous first quarter drive, and turned in a pretty 15 yaral run to :cet the ball in scoring position. After the Penn touchdown parade was halted on the edge of the goal line, the Tiger attack never saw touchdown land again. The tide of battle staggered back and forth between the two teams, with Penn having the decided advantage, but not making use of it. ln the fourth quarter the Tiger lost a claw as George Caba, stellar center, was carried from the playing field with a broken ankle. To add to the misfortune, penalties hampered the Tiger team all afternoon, spoiling substantial gains and setting the Tiger back on its hunches. Williamsport carried out her tradition of tieina good Penn ball clubs. ln l928 and l932, when the Tigers were State Champions, Williamsport managed to eke out two stalemates. This year the Millionaire club contented themselves with slapping all Tiger thrusts without breaking into an offerisivc- of their own, and again tied the bent Penn team in seven years, 0-0. PENN DEFEATS ALLENTOWN REGARDLESS OF INTERRUPTIONS A rough and ready Tiger scored quickly in the first minute or so of play, and from then on the Allentown contest was a slugging good game with Penn coming out on top. The game was the roughest of the entire season, as both sides played at give and take after the early Penn six-pointer. The Canaries wern't as deli- cate as the name suggests, but they were a little milder and tamer after the game. The 5,000 fans shivered in the stands as Henry lclouze kicked off with a mighty boot that carried to the goal line. A yellow jersey picked the ball out of the air and started up the center of the field. At the fourteen yard line he stopped short as an orange tidal wave bowled him over so fiercely that the pigskin went spinning out of his hands. Paul King, Penn's alert end, recov- ered the fumble, and two smashing power plays carried the ball to the eight yard line. On the next play, Danny Emanuel kicked dirt in the Allentown stands as he circled his own right end for the only score of the game. Ed Berrier's place kick failed, but the tally wasn't needed. The remainder of the game was devoid of thrills until Captain Galliano of the Canaries took a crack at Al Luciano, hefty Penn tackle. A free-for-all then broke out between the players of both teams, with the policemen the ultimate winners, as their appearance on the field broke up the near-riot. As in the football game, the Penn players gave a good account of themselves. After the game eight players were treated for minor injuries. And so the Tigers packed up their suitcases, black eyes, and uniforms, and left the slugaroo town with a 6-0 victory tucked under their belts. WILLIAM PENN AFTER HARD BATTLE MEETS DEFEAT BY HARRIS HIGH Under a crisp November sky almo: ,2,000 persons watched a colorful Harris team push across an early score in the first quarter, and hold off a last-ditch Tiger touchdown march, to win Thanksgiving Day honors, 6-U. The tilt was played in the new Crimson stadium, and the Hill boys celebrated the first Turkey-day con- test on their home field by halting the vaunted Tiger offense and showing the potency of their own. The game ended in a battle royal be- tween players and fans of both schools, a fitting climax to such a hectic game. Five minutes after the opening gun had sounded the beginning of the game, the Red Regiment had marched goalward to a touch- down, Frankie Robinson, Harris' quick-thinking quarterback, seemed to know just where to find holes in the big Orange line, and sent his backs through the wide gaps the Crimson linemen made. ln no time at all the Crimson Tide had moved the ball to the Tiger twenty yard marker, thanks to several large penalties and the clever running of Leroy Pletz. With the Penn line spread all over the field to stop Pletz's devastat- ing end runs, Robinson danced through the cen- ter, cut sharply to the left, and with the thun- derous roars of rabid Harris rooters ringing in his ears, galloped twenty yards for the score. After Penn received the kickoff, she tried to powerhouse her way through the alert Crimson line, but to no avail. The two teams fought on even terms back and forth in the mid-field until late in the second quarter, when Robinson al- most got away for another touchdown run. The play was beautifully faked and executed from a double-wingback formation. Twice Stan Ernst faked the ball to Robinson on a spinner, and spun into the center of the line himself. On the third play, however, Ernst neatly slipped the pigskin to Robinson so deftly that even the fans failed to detect it. Robinson ran to the left with the ball tucked closely to his side, stopped near the side-lines, and then headed back for the line of scrimmage. Then suddenly he picked up his heels and sped down the side-lines, getting all the way to the Penn sixteen from the Tiger thirty-five before a Tiger tackler could stop him. The third quarter found both teams battling for position near mid-field, but with little show of power. lohn l-larris now changed her tactics and was on the defense, definitely out to protect her lead from the last-half Tiger attack :she ex- pected. The Penn touchdown parade, tamed for its last-quarter charges, didn't start to march until there were eight minutes to go in the last quarter. Then the Big Orange took the ball on its own thirty-two yard marker, and opened up with a history-making drive. Emanuel and Wad- ley, the touchdown twins, hooked up on the end of Zippy reverse plays that left the Crimson gasp- ing for breath,With triple and double reverses flashing intermittently in the Penn attack, the Harris line was pierced time after time for large gains. Kirk Wadley capped the drive with a swivel-hipped run from mid-field to the Harris nineteen, Here three line plays failed, and Emanuel faded back and heaved a spiral pass which Allen gathered in on the one-foot line. Whether he stepped over into touchdown lan'i will always be a matter ol question, but that little man in white who came a-running to catch up with the play claimed that he didn't, and awarded the ball to Harris one toot from the big white stripe. The Crimson Tide held the ball until the end of the game, when a heated fist-fight for possession of the pigskin terminated all Penn hopes for victory. Q IUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL 'l'he lunior Varsity team got oft to a good start at the beginning ol the :Lamson and showed plenty ot scoring power, as their record shows. Out of a schedule of 7 games they won 5 and lost 2. The team, made up of Sophomores and luniors, boasted ot two good barks: Bubbles Mclielvey and Elijah Clark. Clark had his shoulder injured in the Steelton game and was unable to continue the season. lnjuries hampered the squad as the season progressed and probably helped cause the setbacks that the team sutlered in the last two games. The Harris game was a great disappointment to everybody, for the Penn twain was thought to be strong enough to defeat the Harris lunior Varsity squad. Fortune was not kind however, and at the end ot the game the score was 13 to U against the Penn lronmen. lUNlOR VARSITY SCHEDULE 'William Penn 25 Catholic High U William Penn 19 Lebanon High 7 William Penn 26 Lancaster High U William Penn 4 York High 7 William Penn 12 Steelton High 6 William Penn 0 Iohn Harris High 13 William Penn 9 Camp Curtin Iunior High 0 Charles Davis Raymond Filling Donald Freedman Frank Hewitt William William William William William William William William William William Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn Penn VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM VARSITY SQUAD D.

Har- old Gottshall, respective varsity and reserve coaches, tutored the Penn basketball teams through another outstanding season. Both varsity and reserve squads finished in a tie for fourth place. Mr. Emanuel, the head coach, has a rich background of basketball ex- perience. He played high school basketball at Harrisburg Tech, and after his graduation from Gettysburg College, he joined various profes- sional quintets, spending eight years as a professional basketeer. His sec- ond year of coaching at William Penn produced the smoothest ball club in Tiger history, which lost only one game while tying the Red Knights of Reading for the league championship. This year's squad, fol- lowing on the heels of a league- leading outfit, has necessarily suf- fered by contrast. During the past season, however, Mr. Emanuel has gradually molded his present hoop- sters into passers of future champion- ship timber. The 1940 varsity five has been groomed on a large scale plan for a pennant-winning club in 1941. Mr. Gottshall also has a long bas- ektball history of high school and college playing and coaching. His junior varsity teams are always well grounded in fundamentals, and feed the varsity with material of a very high caliber. SWATARA FIRST VICTIM With sharpshooting Don Freedman leading the way, a promising Penn five loafed to a 45-31 triumph over Swatara Township, The Tiger team exhibited a smooth passing attack and plenty of reserve power, but showed a number of openings in their leaking five man defense. Freedman and Davis played bril- iantly for Penn, but Captain Towe fouled his way out of the game. TIGER SWAMPS MIDDLETOWN Cy Davis ran wild to sink a weak Middletown five, as the Tiger guards held the enemy team to the magnifi- cent total of one field goal and a few fouls. Davis racked up ten field goals and two charity shots for twenty-two points and Captain Frank Towe fol- lowed him with ten points. The Penn big guns rolled up twenty-two points in the last quarter to none for Mid- dletown. TIGER STOPS , HERSHEY INDUSTRIAL With the Tigers looking like pus- sycats in a sluggish first half and lagging 20-13 at intermission, the Penn quintet pulled together to sur- prise a strong Industrial five with a flashy rally that won a 32-28 vic- tory. Cy Davis again sparked the Penn offensive with fourteen points, and he' teamed with Dave Snyder and Captain Towe to start the win- ning last-quarter scoring. ORANGE HALTS MIDDLETOWN The high-scoring Tiger machine made it four straight by crushing the Middletown High tossers, 69-15. Coach Emanuel used every avail- able player as the Penn passers went into high gear to score twenty-eight field goals and thirteen fouls for six- ty-nine points. Towe set the style with thirteen markers, and Snyder made it a close individual scoring race with a second-best total of ten points. 1940 FRANK TOWE CAPTAINS TIGERS FOR '40 SEASON Tall Frank Towe, splinter-like cen- ter of the starting Penn quintet, cap- tained the team through the heart- breaks of a hectic basketball sea- son. His team rose to brilliant heights. and fell again into the depths of me- diocrity, but had a winning season, dropping only six out of twenty games. Captain Towe was second only to Donald Freedman in pacing the Ti- ger scoring, and placed tenth in league individual standings with seventy-nine points. He is a deadly close-range shot. His specialty is a high-arching, one-handed thrust, zipped from the foul circle, and cli- maxing a swift dribble in which his long legs quickly maneuver him into position. He seldom tries long range tosses, and prefers to work the ball under the basket by teamwork, His defensive play has hindered all the string-bean centers of the league, for Towe can stick to a man as closely as his own shadow. His ability to guard doggedly, block shots bewilderingly, and break up plays in a devastating way has made his name a threat to the offen- sive play of all Central Pennsylva- nia League quintets. Captain Towe is just modest, genial Frank Towe out of the lime-light, the same as he is under the spotlight of athletic glory. Such is the simple secret of his popularity, his leadership, and his athletic success. TIGERS TRIM CRUSADERS More than 750 people watched Coach Emanuel's Tigeins ride roughshod over the Catholic Crusaders, sewing up the title in the first half, and protecting the lead to win an easy 29-14 contest, The game was a warm-up for the Tigers coming league opener at Lebanon, LEBANON IOLTS PENN FIVE The Lebanon Cedars stepped up their fast- breaking offense to pile up twenty-five points in the second half, and wallop the Penn Tigers 42-26. The game was on even terms during the first half, and the two schools fought to a 17-17 deadlock at half-time. Piarote and Reed started a deadly bombardment on the Penn basket that reduced the roar of the raging Tigers to a whisper and blew up any Penn hopes of victory. PENN TAKES YORK IN STRIDE Don Freedman and Frank Towe went on individual scoring sprees to singlehanded bowl over the York High quintet. The entire Tiger varsity figured in trampling the White Roses, 45-25, and winning the season's sixth victory. LAST MINUTE GOAL SINKS PENN In a ball game chucked full of spectacular shooting and fast, breath-catching play, the Steelton Steamroller puffed up a last-second blast of steam that scalded the coat of the Penn Tiger 39-38. The orange five held a 31-27 lead in the middle of the fourth quarter, but two quick fouls and two net-clashing field goals put the down-river boys ahead, 33-32. Then another wild Steelton stab cut the cords, and as Don Freed- man matched twin-pointers with Nenadovich, Steelton led, 37-34. Cy Davis :scored quickly, but Roksandios clock-beating toss won the game, 39-38. RED KNIGHTS TOP TIGER TEAM The Reading pretzel-benders twisted the Penn Tiger into a convenient knot, and while it was trying to unbend itself, rallied in the second halt to win handily, 38-23. The three Cv-Men, Giles, Guensch, and Guldin, led the Red Regiment's attack, and Towe and Freedman spirited the Penn offense that stalemated Reading 16-16 in the first half. TIGER COMES TO LIFE TO WIN, 27-25 The sluggish Penn Tiger sharpened its Claws and scratched out a slim 27-25 win over the Lancaster Red Roses. Honey Wileman decided the scrap for Penn when he came through with a field goal that halved the cords in the clos- ing moments of the game. Don Freedman, high- scoring Tiger forward, was well-bottled up by Lancaster guards, but Wileman and Towe stepped in and carried the scoring burden for Penn. Wileman's difficult shot put Penn ahead 25-24, and two Tiger charity tossers and one Red Rose throw ended the scoring. ORANGE BESTS TOWNSHIP TEAM The Penn High varsity, with the Tigers two front claws, Davis and Freedman, 'leading the way, knocked out the Swatara quintet by a 36-l7 blow, in a return game. TIGERS STEM CRIMSON TIDE Mimi than 1,500 fans watched in aniazemoril ti.. tt we-ck lolin llarris quintet swamped a slow- l11iIl'lll'l Tiger during most of the first quarter to limltl up an ll-3 edge With this advantage ariaiiiiat them, the Penn passers set to work to wut flown the 11111 giants to their own size, and :noon had whittled the lead away to 13-8 at the tfltise of the first period ln the second quarter the Tigers came out of their lethargy and went on a rampage to snow the I-lill boys from Harris under by a 15-5 count. The third quarter saw the llarris regulars, Robinson and McKee, sitting on the bench with three personals each on them, and the Penn pumpers took full command of the situation and the Crimson substitutes to lengthen their majority to a 36-25 score, In the final period the Crimson Tide, with Frankie Rob- inson riding on its crest, tried to submerge the speeding Tiger, but only succeeded in chopping two points from the Penn lead to make the final vote a unanimous 45-36 ballot in favor of Penn. PENN BRILLIANT IN LEBANON WIN The Penn Tigers reached the crest of their season to eke out an inspired 35-33 victory over the Lebanon Cedars. The 1,200 students who packed the Palestra for the contest saw a daz- zling Tiger match point with point with a cham- pionship-bound Lebanon five, and win finally on a timely shot by Bob Wevodau. The game was marred by the excitement of the players, for :since it was so tight throughout, almost every boy missed scoring chances he usually would have made. The Tigers opened the battle with a display of fight and determination that they failed to exhibit in any other game of the season, and worked with the perfection of a well-trained ma- chine. They outscored the Cedars ll-10 in the first quarter, and through sheer grit pushed across eight points in the second period to lead at half-time 19-16. ln the third quarter, varsity auard Honey Wileman was banished from the game on personals, and even with a substitute guard the Penn quintet continued its rapid, ac- curate scoring and held its three point lead, 29-26. In the last period Bob Wevodau, blond- haired, scrappy forward of the Tigers played sterling ball to eclipse all the other men on the court. He had opened the game with a field goal, and with the count deadlocked at 33-33, dropped in his historic shot from the left side of the foul line to chop down the Lebanon Cedar and future State Championship club, 35-33. TIGER SLIPS SUDDENLY, 34-I6 The same William Penn Tiger varsity that rose to unquestionable heights of basketball great- ness by downing the Lebanon Cedars, fell vic- tim to the lowly White Roses from York in a dis- appointing letdown, 34-16. STEELTON ROLLS OVER PENN The skidding Penn Tigers were sent farther down the league ladder by a 44-31 spill at the hands of the Steelton Steamroller. The down- river team ran up a 20-3 lead very early in the second quarter before the Penn players could start anything resembling a scoring rally. The remainder of the tilt saw Penn making fruitless efforts to regain the whiphand, and Steelton coasting to another league win. RALLY WINS FOR READING HIGH The legue-leading Knights from Reading came to Harrisburg, battled neck and neck with the fighting William Penn Tigers, and forged ahead by four points in the closing minutes of play to barely win a 36-32 victory. The Tiger seemingly awoke from another of his fits of lethargy which had haunted him in the York and Steelton games, and growled back at Reading with an old-time, heart-lifting roar. With Freedman and Towe giv- ing Reading a lesson on shooting, the re-born Penn Tiger captured an 18-12 half-time lead, only to narrowly lose both the lead and the game as the Reading five suddenly rallied to overtake Penn and finally go ahead to win, 36-32. PENN AGAIN DROPS CATHOLIC The Catholic Crusaders offered more opposi- tion than expected, but still were unable to check net-slicing shots of the Penn Tigers, and so dropped a 37-23 verdict to Penn. Cy Davis led the rapid Tiger scoring machine that went out on all four cylinders the third quarter to rack up seventeen points and put the game on ice. FREEDMAN LEADS TIGERS TO WIN The Penn offensive blossomed into its finest seasonal form, and Don Freedman was its fullest bud and biggest thorn in the side of the Lan- caster Red Roses. He began to find the basket early in the second quarter, and in the third period pulled the Penn Tiger into the lead with his dazzling shots from the corners and all angles of the court. Before he was sent out of the contest late in the third quarter on personals, he massed the huge total of twenty points, high for the game. The rest of the Penn varsity dis- played snappy passing and a swift offense that stopped Lancaster cold, 42-29. PENN SMASHES HARRIS, 31-24 ln the final battle of the year, a scrappy Penn Tiger sunk his claws once again into Iohn Har- ris, and emerged victorious as City Champion. The Crimson Tide was pointing for another upset of the Tiger team, but even the brilliant Frankie Robinson failed to halt the Orange tidal wave that engulfed the puny Crimson billow. The win closed the season for Penn, and placed it in ci tie with Steelton for the fourth rung on the league ladder. The Tigers fascinated the fans with their spark- ling shooting, and finished an off and on season with a blaze of glory. Captain Frank Towe burned up the floor with his flashy dribbling and heady defensive play. Don Freedman kept bombing the Harris basket with long and short range shots that refused to miss splitting the cords everytime, and Snyder and Wileman turned in beautiful back court guarding games, scoring frequently with deadly long range thrusts. Frankie Robinson played an aggressive, colorful game for Harris, but the hill team as a whole could not match the uptowners polished play. IUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. Gottshalls lunior Varsity squad was the best Penn has ever had. Wtiat the looys lacked in size, they made up in their line spirit and teamfwork. 'Vim team not a worldfbeater, they won eleven games and lost eigltt. Scoritia in the majority ol contests was at a minimum, but throughout every 'wine it determination to Win was evident. ln the Central Pennsylvania League race, the squad won tour games: vvltilo losing eight, to finish in fourth place in a stalemate with lolin Harris, 'Vlio Tiger cubs defeated Lancaster twice, and Harris and Steelton each once to garner their tour triumphs.

MAY 20, 1939 1 The first dual meet was on Cottage Hill at Steelton. Steelton was defeated' 68V2 to 58112 in a meet which saw Danny Emanuel set a new record in the 120 yard high hurdles. Danny topped the timbers in the exceptionally fast time of 14.9 seconds. MAY 13, 1939 The Quadrangular meet this year was held on Pager Field. Penn won the meet with 46 points and was followed by Lancaster with 43 1X3 points, Read- ing with 49 5 6 points, and York with 12 5X6 points. MAY 6, 1939 Penn placed liltli in the District Three meet at Lancaster. APHlL 27, 1939 ln the last meet of the year Penn defeated Iohn Harris G4lf4 to 573f4 on Pager Field. This marked the fourth straight year that Penn has defeated Iohn 1-larris. This meet also saw Anderson set a school record of 24,2 seconds in the ZUU yard low hurdles. 1940 s B SQ 1 at 1 l M .,v '-f -a ' BASEBALL Baseball is handled by Coach Myrl L. Brown, who has turned out some prominent players in his time at William Penn. lames Deshong, who is pitch- ing good ball for the big leagues, received his first baseball experience on the historic old William Penn diamond. Charles Anderson, now catching tor the Harrisburg Senators, and a flock of other stars have been under the tutorage ot this master tactician ot baseball strategy. This year William Penn again chose intramural ball, to forming a school team for league competition. lntramural baseball gives three times as many boys all the playing experience ot high school baseball that a school nine would receive. A schedule ot twenty-tour games has been arranged among the Sophomores, luniors, and Seniors, and the Winning team will be declared thampion of the school. . . Q . SYLVANIAN 4 A . 'Q TENNIS TEAM This year's tennis crop should be one of the best teams that has ever rep- resented William Penn, if experience in tournaments and years of playing mean anything. Alan Morrison and Bruce Cooper have both been playing six years, and Donald Porter is a five year man. ferry Waxman is a veteran of four years' training, while Ralph Peters' tennis history shows three years of racquet wielding. Robert Morrison, brother of the team's number one man, and Melvin Kling have both been playing for four years, and have sufficient polish to develop into strong players. However, with the possible exception of Captain Alan Morrison, the team lacks a brilliant player. Morrison himself is not considered a steady type of player. When his drives are working, he is unbeatable. He smashes the ball to all comers of the court, nipping the chalk lines neatly. He also possesses a devastating chop shot that makes a contortionist out of the player vvlio attempts to return it. Morrison is a master of stroking with bewildering array of varied shots, and his ability to mix his strokes baffles all his oppo- rients. Donald Porter is a rapidly developing player, and a varsity holdover from last year's squad. He relies on a forcing game, and is endlessly charg- ing the net, carrying the tide of battle and wearing down his opponent. Bruce Cooper, a promising player with great tournament experience, is the steadiest man on the team. He does not have any powerhouse drives, but prefers to play a heady, out-maneuvering game in matches. ferry Waxman mixes up his brand of ball-playing, forcing at some times and outsteading enemies and others. The remainder of the team, Ralph Peters, Melvin Kling, and Robert Morrison are in the lower bracket of the club standing, and are all dependable netinen who are shaping quickly into first string performers. The entire squad, coached by the guiding genius of S. Carrol Miller, shows promise of becoming the best in a long string of winning clubs. 1940 SOCCER The first ol the tall sports the girls of William Penn participate in is Soccer. 'l'lii:: thrilling and rough game is played on into the cold, brisk days ol late November. ln order to bear the cold, some of our co-eds, and their advisor, don ski pants, ear mulls, mittens, and Wooly caps. Others stick to the tradif tional blue gym suits and light the cold unprotected. The sole survivors ol this fall's contest were the l2Bs, who carried oil the championship by defeating all the other teams. The girls who fought shoulder to shoulder in many a grim battle were Dorothy Hornberger, l2B'lg Almeda Eager, l2B-lg Shirley Traver, l2B-lg Betty Irwin, 12B-7, Dorothy l-leckman, l2Be7, Elaine Witten, l2B-75 Erances Stein, 12B-7, Genevieve Guyer, l2Bf'!, lflary Blair, 12B-7, Patsy Henry, 12B-7, Iudy Moore, 12B-2, Gertrude Staultor, l2B-6, Betty Ryan, 12B-9, Betty Nicholson, 12B-9, Evelyn Kohler, l2B-9, Louise Coken, l2B-9, Marguerite Edmonds, 12B-9, Evelyn Laudermilch, l2B-8, Graco Kugle, 12B-8, and Winnie Beeves, 12B-8. ARCHERY A less active sport that runs hand in hand with Soccer is Archery. This engaging pastime with bow and arrows is frequented by seniors only because the school has limited equipment. However, underclassmen may participate in this sport, provided that they use their own bow and arrows. Miss Ellamae Iackson, the advisor, directs and helps the girls in such things as their standing positions, arm positions to help protect the arm and wrist, in acquiring point of aim, and in the care ot the equipment. Alter two or three weeks of practice, the girls are prepared to compete in the Archery tournament. This contest covers a period of days, and the four girls with the highest number ot points become the victors. This year's high scorers are the following girls: Patricia Nixon 12A-l ......... 3l8 Harriet Snyder 12A-6 -- -- 314 Grace Felton l2B-2 --- -. 322 Ann Kline 12B-2 ..... ,- 289 VOLLEYBALL Volleyball ranks first in popularity among the girl's sports at William Penn this year. This game proves very exciting and energetic and attracts more girls than any other sport. ln order to gain the championship, one team must win more than any one other team. One days victory must include the best out ot three games. The new 1940 champions were the l2Bs who excelled all the other teams. Their able captain was Gertrude Stautter ot section l2B-7. The other members ot her team were Shirley Traver, l2B-lg Almeda Fager, l2B-lg Louise Coken, l2B-9, Evelyn Kohler, l2Bf9, Ovella Brown, 12B-7, lane Ellenberger, l2Bf7, Genevieve Guyer, 12B-7, Betty Nicholson, 12B-9, Margaret Edmonds, 12Bs9. GIRLS' BASKETBALL The final clash of this season's girls' intramural basketball league was won by the llA team. This victory seems very outstanding because it is rather unusual that a team of juniors defeats a 12A team in basketball. The cham- pions, in order to gain this honor, had to play each team in the league twice, and they won each contest. They had, therefore, a perfect season with every game being chalked up in the winning column. The l94U Intramural Champions were led to Victory by their Captain, Marian Miller of section llA-2. Her skilled teammates were Elizabeth Sharp, llAf3, Harriet Koplovitz, llA-lp Margaret I-louze, llA-2, lane Hohenschildt, llAf2, Pauline Miller, llA-6, Margaret Smith, llA-7, Rachel Shoop, llA-7, and Beverly Dimm, llA-7, Margaret Shaffer, 11A-7.

With its decrease in size from a four to three column spread came a cori- centration of news and original features much improved over past years. Movie and book reviews were dropped and in their place more popular and interesting articles such as Fashions and The Chatterbox were featured. loseph Smith served as Editor-in-Chief for the unprecedented period of three semesters. Under his new plan for assembling the Founder, the staff was divided into various departments each headed by a special associate editor. In this Way the gathering of news was facilitated. Mr. Strawinski assisted the staff as faculty adviser. Finance and circular tion was handled by Mr. A. G. Keener and student co-business managers Resta Penland and Frances Wanbaugh. Mr. Davies supervised the printing with his customary efficiency. I94IL - - SYLVANIAN RED CROSS CLUB First Semester Second Semester Eleanor Freedman A, ...,,. President .... .. ......,Y.

S ecretary ....... .......o... E leanor Myers One of the most beneficial and active clubs of William Penn High School is the Iunior Red Cross Club. lt is under the capable leadership of Miss Nelle W. Aumiller, who supervises the activities of the club. lt has been extremely active this year in helping needy families and guests at the Dauphin County Home. Tea dances, movies, and work in the individual groups constituted the activities for the year and provided a more understanding feeling of helping one another. May next year's club achieve its every goal and carry on in their hearts the element of helpfulness which makes our lives complete. BAND Our' band with its dazzling array of twirling drum majors is rapidly shape ing into an organization of which William Penn is proud. The marching and drilling of the band this year delighted thousands of football fans while its best rhythmic melodies sparked our football team to its best season in seven years, Spectators at the Hgiiowefen Parade and other holiday parades also cheered its snappy precision and fine playing. The band, too, has felt the effect of the new music concentration program designed to put William Penns musical organizations on a par with those of any school in Pennsylvania. Sectional rehearsals have been held one day a week during school time to gain perfection in each group of instruments. Another innovation has been the William Penn Concert Band that Mr. McCord formed this year. lt consists of the best musicians in the band with the addi- tion of string basses. The concert band has played several concerts, notably a radio program, and was received with enthusiasm by local critics. The band members are being musically educated to learn that blare and brass do make the best band. The emphasis is being placed on a more legcxto :-style of playing, especially in the Concert Band division. Colorful new Capes were obtained this year for the UU-piece football band. These additions will increase the beauty of precision drills and marching array. ORCHESTRA The standards of the orchestra have been gradually raised in the past three years under the direction of Mr, McCord. This year it has succeeded in mastering the difficult Wagner Prelude to the first Act of Lohengrin, and a complete flaydn Symphony as its selections in the State Forensic Contest, field in this city in the latter part of April. Efforts have been made, not only to improve the guality of the orchestras selections by adding a variety of new numbers to its music library, but rehearsals have been held regularly during the fourth period and two activity periods in order to improve the technique of the orchestra Mr. McCord has also tried to bring the proportions of the orchestra up to symphony requirements. All these moves have resulted in an improved orchestra that has played many engagements. Besides furnishing music for our assembly programs, the ochestra has played a number of civic conc'ert::. lt also played for the Commencements, the Baccalaureate Services, and Cfliristnias Broadcast, not to mention The Mikado. A notable civic event for which they furnished music was the Boy Scout Anniversary Pregrant in the Forum. The new program of music improvement and concentration, inaugu rated this year, which already is showing such fine results, should produce future William Penn musical organizations that will be the pride of the state. s SYLVANIAN GIRLS CHORUS ' Another new musical organization that has made its appearance at Wil- liam Penn this year is the Girls' Choir. Mr, Blough has given special atten- tion to the training ot girls' voices under the new musical program, and the Girls' Choir has been a result. This large group of girls, while they have not made as many appearances as the other choruses, the A Cappella Choir and Male Choir, have achieved tine results at those concerts in which they did appear. They sang for assembly programs and also appeared on the State School Teachers Convention program held at the Forum. Their work at the latter concert was especially line. Mr. Blough hopes to be able to devote more time to the Girls' Choir next year, and the choir should develop into one ot William Penn's best organizations. 1940 A CAPPELLA CHOIR This year we welcomed to William Penn a riew member of the Faculty, Mr. Blougli, a voice specialist, who has attempted to improve the vocal music ol the school in the same manner that Mr. McCord has improved the band and orchestra. Mr. Blough formed the first A CAPPELLA CHOIR in William llenns history. Most high schools do not attempt a Cappella work because it means singing without accompaniment, which is extremely difficult for all but the best of voices. ln spite of this difficulty the William Penn A Cappella Choir has given many excellent concerts, and has proven an outstanding addition to the musical department. Mr. Blough's attention to the technique oi :singing has produced an unusual quality in the work of the choir. The choir has sung for several assemblies, presented civic concerts and made radio broadcasts. lt was honored by being the first chorus ever selected from a city school to sing before the annual teachers convention held in Harrisburg during each Christmas vacation, The concert was a great success, and Gov- ernor Iaines, who addressed the convention later that same evening, complif iiierited Mr. Blough on the fine work of the choir. The choir's most important engagement, however, was its participation in the State Forensic Contest. The choir mastered a very difficult number, Allan a Dale, for this particular occasion. All rehearsals of the choir have been held in activity periods, and its organization has been niore systematic than any previous William Penn choir. This has been the first year for the choir, and it has made a good beginning. SYlVANlAN MALE CHOIR The William Penn Male Choir has presented a number of successful concerts. The Choir was organized by Mr. Blough and has become an am' bassador from William Penn to the rest ol the city. The boys have sung a number ot outside engagements in addition to their appearances before :school assemblies. They sang twice for the students of Camp Curtin lunior lrtigh School, once for Iohn Harris High School, for the Engineers' Society ol Pennsylvania, the State Teachers' Convention, Rotary Club Banquet, Steele School Parent Teacher Association meeting, and have also made a recording of several of their numbers. The Choir has featured new arrangements of old favorites and have been well received everywhere they went. lts repertoire includes a variety of negro spirituals, popular songs, and light semisclassical ballads. The strong male voices in the opening chorus of The Mikado were formed from a nucleus of the Male Choir. Bruce Cooper, tenor extraordinary, was the soloist of the group. lie made his appearances at every engagement of the choir, and his voice was heartily applauded by audiences and voice critics everywhere. 1940 l LIBRARY STAFF lfarly iii each seriiester Miss Sites appoints a stalt to assist her in library work. These studerits, in addition to serving the school, find their weekly library period a source ot education and training. This year tliirtyflour students gave one period a week to act as assistant lilvrariaiifa. Fourteen oi these were added during the second semester. They are: lean Allen, Margaret Kranz, Martha Pitt, lane Hohenshildt, Miriam Shopp, Peggy Good, lane Reynolds, Dorothy Kling, Doris Levine, Mary Lewis, Betty Petter, Blanche Katz, Esther Funk, and Dorothy Schetter. One liundredrtwenty new books of fiction recommended by high school reading lists, a tew best sellers, and special reference volumes were purchased this year. A special exhibit ol books on Pennsylvania was displayed during Book Week, the books being taken from Miss Sites' special collection ot local and state inlorniation which she is rapidly enlarging. Those appearing in the picture, reading from lelt to right are: Dorothy lleckinari, liosalind Shapiro, Mary E, Bitzer, Genevieve Guyer, Marilyn Roth, Frances Wanbauah, Geraldine Wismer, Nancy Wirt, Mary lo Powell, Doris Kriner, Fdward Akers, Miss Sites, Virginia Barnhill, Dora Liddick, Miriam Frankel, Harriet Snyder, Pearl Koplovitz, Miriam Bridger, Leonard Yudin. Reba Blizzard was not present when this picture was taken. SYLVANIAN Q Q SHIPPENSBURG PLAY The Great Delusion, a one act play given by Penn students, was rated by the critic judge as the most outstanding performance in the annual Shippensburg Dramatic Conference held March l and 2 at State Teachers College. Praise for their fine production was given to the actors and Mr. Reuwer not only by Mr. Kenderdine, the judge, but also by Dr. Rowland, president of the college, and by various members of the faculty. Penn's play was to them the most distinguished. The plot concerns the return of an allegedly dead son lRichard Iohn- sonl to his father Close-ph Smithl, who has during the boy's absence, become established as a communicator with the dead through mediumistic messages from this dead son. There is intense conflict Within the spiritist between his love for his reputation and his love for his son, for by acknowledging his actually living son he would thereby admit his own fraudulence. Finally the father's selfishness conquers. He declares his son an impostor. Realizing that his father does not love him, the son goes away forever, swears ing to secrecy the butler fRobert Reinhardtl so that his mother CBarbara Hanstl, who is unaware of his return, may continue to believe him dead. All does not end unhappily, however, for the boy's fiancee fpeggy Glenn! goes with him, and the two leave the wretched spiritist to comfort his thousands. Mr. Reuwer was exceedingly gratified at the reception given the per- formance. This year's was the seventh play he has directed for the Shippens- burg Contest. iigi Km... E SYLVANIAN YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU Penn will never forget the hilarious nights of October 19th and 20th, when the happy-go-lucky Sycamore family came to town in YOU CAN 'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Under Mr. Reuwer's direction, Kaufman and Hart's Pulitzer prize-winning comedy was performed almost professionally, and was a rol- licking success. Who can refrain from laughing even now at the uproarious scene in which Penny fBarbara Hanstl is painting Mr. De Pinna fMichael Rosenbergerl as the discus thrower, and Essie fShirley Traverl is practicing away for dear life at her ballet lesson, while perspiring Kolenkov fKenneth Rineardl with frequent ejaculations of Confidentially, it stinks ! discusses the five year plan with Grandpa floseph Smithl to the accompaniment of Ed fGene Cohenl at the xylophone! And then, suddenly, to the consternation of all, in comes Tony Kirby flames Brownl and his parents fMary Millicharnp and Harry Cossl to meet the family of their son's fiancee, Alice fMary Ann Grovell Remember the nonchalant maid, Reba fNancy Wirt and Nancy Byreml and her slow-moving boy friend, Donald CWilliam Barnesl? Remember the irate tax collector fBruce Cooperl saying ominously There are forty-eight states, SEE! and Paul Sycamore fl-lerbert Bowmanl who made Kiddie Bombers , and Olga fPeggy Goodl the grand duchess who worked as a waitress in Childs, and the tough G-men fDale Beittel, Frank Hewitt, and Robert Bernsteinl? Grandpa's easy-going philosophy may have lent a serious note to the comedy, but it also motivated the entire plot. For if each member of the family had not spent all his time in pursuing his hobbies, such as Penny's painting and playwriting fubecause eight years ago a typewriter was delivered here by mistake J, Grandpa's snakes and darts, Ed's printing and Xylophone, Es- sie's candy-making and dancing, Paul's fireworks and erector set, etc.,ad infi- nitum. there might have been no romance between Alice and Tony. There could have been no objection on the part of the stuffy Park Avenue Kirbys, no comical wrestling match between Kolenkov and Mr. Kirby, no merry game of Forget-me-Not, no investigation of Ed's revolutionary candy box papers, no subsequent arrest of the entire Sycamore menagerie? and their illus- trious guests, and finally no happy outcome of it all with Mr. Kirby cheerfully sitting down to a dinner of blintzes with the whole Sycamore miscellany and Grandpa serenely beginning grace with a kindly, friendly, Well, sir, here we are again. The success of the production was due not only to the excellence of the cast and Mr. Reuwer's expert direction, but also to a group of faculty and student committees. General chairman of the arrangements was Mr. Zorger. A committee of students handled finances under the supervision of Miss Book and Mr. Burris. Miss Sites had charge of patrons committee. Scenery, lighting and properties were in the hands of Miss Ebner and Mr. Weisbrod. Publicity was handled by Mr. Knauss, Miss Aumiller, Miss Ebner, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Davies. Mr. McCord had charge of music. Mr. Wilson made the arrange- ments for the ushers. Refreshments were managed by Miss Aumiller and Mr. Yoder. The stage crew was headed by Iames Trullinger. All committees, faculty members, the student body, the director, and the cast co-ordinated and co-operated to the fullest extent as evidenced by the complete and overwhelming triumph of YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. 1940 K K gi x ..

The brisk weather foretold the coming of winter, cmd the chill winds whisked the dead leaves, fading from their color- ful Indian Summer tints, into miniature whirlpools in the air just in front of old Technical High School. A young woman struggled against the elements as she climbed the steps of the edifice and banged the heavy door shut be- hind her. She walked into the school office and introduced herself to Miss Kathryn Hammelbaugh, the secretary, as Miss Mary Snyder, the principal of the Lochiel Open Air School. A certain Sunday School class was planning a Christmas party for the children of another city open air school, and she wondered if some other class could not be found to provide a similar party for the youngsters of the Lochiel school. Then Dr. Charles B. Pager, beloved principal of the boys of Tgch, stepped into the office. He entered the discussion, but no one could think of any avail- able Sunday School class. Suddenly he suggested a far better idea. Why not invite the entire Tech student body to give the party? The idea struck root in typical irrepressible Tech enthusiasm. Rival groups of students took up the suggestion, and competed keenly to raise funds. Thus the first Christmas Party originated with an extremely zealous beginning. ln a few years the party branclied cut into all city grade schools, in place of the former restrictions to open air schools. Deserving children that were recommended to the school were made guests of Tech for that one day of merriment. When the final chapter of Tech history was written in 1926 and two city high schools were formed, the Christmas Party went with Boctor Pager to William Penn. The party is held on the last day of school before the Christmas holidays. Students andfaculty are in a merry mood, and prepared to distribute a little Christmas cheer to the young guests before the school officially closes for the festive holidays. The auditorium is brilliantly illuminated with its maze of blazing lights. The enormous stage is dazzlingly decorated with gay colors, beautiful lamps, and stately evergreens, trimmed with shining decorations. Scattered over the stage are piles of gifts. There are candies, fruits, nuts, and all sorts of goodies. Dolls, soldiers and glistening toys sparkle like rare-polished gems, and dresses, shoes, jackets, caps, shirts, and sweaters hang invitingly from the trees, waiting for their future owners. The youngsters are served a piping hot breakfast in the cafeteria, and then are lead into the big assembly hall where students eagerly entertain them before the gifts are presented. The school orchestra furnishes light, lilting rhythms that lifts the crowd of attending old grads and students into a jovial, exhilarating state of high spirits. That is the Christmas Party, an unselfish expression of the Christmas spirit, first conceived by that princely head of old Tech and William Penn, the late and venerated Dr. Charles B. Pager, Ir. 1940 ' ' SYLVANIAN THE MIKADO To a colorful background add a clever plot stuffed with good humor and plenty of lively lilting tunes. Sweeten with romance. Spice with sprightly dialogue and a dash of suspense and garnish with three pretty little maids. Mix well with infectious rhythm and stir until bubbling over with mirth and high spirits. Serve to packed houses, and you have The Mikado, Gilbert and Sullivan's famous light opera as performed by Penn students May 9 and 10. The receptive audiences swayed and nodded enthusiastically to the irre- sistible rhythm of Nanki-Poo tHerbert Bowmanl, the wandering minstrel. They roared delightedly at the antics of Koko tloseph Smithl and Katisha tl-larry Cossb. Pooh-Bah tMichael Rosenbergerl and Pish-Tush tlitobert Reinhardt! had them in gales of laughter, while the Mikado flames Brownl stitched their sides. And as for the three little maids, Yum-Yum tMary Ann Grovel, Pitti- Sing tBarbara Hanstl, and Peep-Bo tDoris Krinerl, they were bewitched by their charm and lovely voices. The choruses were especially excellent in their stirring numbers and were mightily applauded for their splendid Work. Mr. Reuwer, Mr. Blough, and Mr. McCord shared the responsibility of directing the production. Their skill and efficiency were evident in the smooth- ness and polish of the performances. Miss Ebner and Mr. Weisbrod deserve special notice for their indispen- sable contribution in scenery and lighting. ln addition, Mr. Burris did more than his part in handling the financial end. Other student committees and their faculty chairmen who helped to make The Mikado a success also merit recognition: ushers, patrons' group, pub- licity, printing, and most ot all the stage crew. 1940 9 , R s 5.

The purpose of the organization is to create and promote a wholesome fellowship and to maintain the high mind and ideals of the William Penn High School. lts members are chosen from the upper strata of athletes and students of the school. All members must be outstanding in some line of school life to be pledged to the fraternity. This Spring, together with the Sigma Phi of lohn Harris, the society held a large dance in the famed Her- shey Park Ballroom. Under the soft lights of the dance floor a capacity crowd danced to the ocean rhythms of Alex Bartha and his Steel Pier Orchestra. The band was brought from Atlantic City especially for the occasion. The officers of the club who were carefully elected by popular vote are Meredith Ashby, President, Pete Pope, Vice President, Iames Foley, Secretary, and Robert Hall, Treasurer. The members: Earl Blizzard, Earl Burris, Vance Crawford, Leon DeGroot, Alex Grabuloff, William Grass, Philip Heimerdinger, Harry lones, Christian Klineyoung, lack Lewis, Albert Luciano, Robert McCul- lough, Ernest Piccolo, and Russel W ileman. To our advisor, Mr. Gottshall, we extend our appreciation for his genial, understanding nature, and to our contemporary clubs, our hearty good wishes. N 3 - '54 T 1940 ' FRATERNITY is a senior fraternal organization E P so me ' ' ' h 0 banded together by ties of mutual friendship and objectives. The club is now in the seventeenth year of its existence, and its activities and social affairs are firmly established in the life and history of both city high schools. The S. B. K. has a greater aim than that of building friendship. lt tries, through its social activities, to mold the personalities of its members and develop their character and individuality. lt teaches good mixing habits, and cultivates the ability to meet and talk with all sorts of people. This year, in co-operation with the S. B. K. from Iohn Harris, the organi- zation continued tradition by putting across the largest-attended Thanksgiving Day dance yet, the Touchdown Toddlef' This dance ranks with the Bunny Hop of the S. I. D. C. and the Spring Dance of the Sigma Phi as the finest dances of the entire school year. The club's officers who helped materially in guiding and directing such a project are Ioseph Smith, President, Donald Keller, Vice President, Iames Brown, Secretary, and Brennon Lyons, Treas- urer. The other members are Bay Gottshall, Robert Wolfe, Frank Hewitt, Her- bert Bowman, William Reed, Edwin Berrier, Kenneth Miller, loseph Todd, Robert Myers, Kenneth Rhineard, and Gilbert Brown. The society as a whole is deeply grateful to Mr. Wolf, our advisor and friend, for his kind direction of the club's social program. 1940, -- - SYLVANIAN - , E 5 jj E m FRATERNITY was founded at l-larrisburg P 0 0 0 0 Tech in 1923, for the purpose ot promoting school spirit and good fellowship, Members have always been chosen with respect to their prominence in various phases of school life.

C. S. Sorority. The members of the sorority are interested not only in social activities, but also in the welfare of our school, and in promoting a deep friendship among all its fellow members. The club has one of the highest ratings of the girls' societies. lt has succeeded not only in bettering William Penn, but also in arousing a feeling of real sociaf bility among the pledges and members, in accordance with the aim of the organization. The motto of the S. C. S. comes from the Latin expression Amicitia vita multo est cariorf' Translated, this means Friendship is dearer than life. It is this strong band of comradeship and companionship that the sorority holds so dear, and that is Why all of its enterprises are done with a cheery good will by its members. The officers for the club are: Ieanne Klinepeter, President, Betty Hockenbrock, Vice President, Anna Kline, Secretary, and Dorothy Wileman, Treasurer.

The organization was founded in Central High, and has since branched into the two high schools, but still remains a single chapter. lt is a strictly commercial group, and its members are carefully chosen in accordance with the tradition of the venerable order. The chapter stands for sportsmanship, clean fun, and true fellowship. lts activities have done much to create a nobler feeling between the students of Iohn Harris and William Penn, and so has done more than its share in the building of a greater Harrisburg. Following the habits of their foster-sisters, the sorority elects its pledges from the junior class. These chosen pledges meet with the members, but remain non-members until public and formal initiation. The whole society acts as a group to stir the social life of the two schools, and keep it moving. The sorority is prominent in both schools, and honored for its strength of character and pace-setting. The choice of officers is equally divided between the two schools. This year Evelyn Risser is President, Dorothy l-leckman, Vice Presidentg Arleen Crawford, Secretary, Iune Feeser, Treasurerg Dorothy Rhoads and Dorothy Heckman, Business Managers. The members are Arlene Albright, Angelica Di Santo, Florence Deckert, Mary Grissinger, Doris Killian, Beatrice Lesher, Betty McCall, Harriet Mendenhall, and Peggy Scott. 1 4 i i I I 4 I I I 2 A 1 .-......4 i 1940, E..

The social program of the sorority is particularly extensive. lt opened in the fall of the year with informal parties and dances, and led up to the big Christmas Formal in the exclusive clubhouse of the Harrisburg Country Club. ln the middle of the winter, an outstanding Valentine dance was held under the revolving globe in the ballroom of the Iewish Community Center. The year was closed with a Spring Formal, the last successful project of the club before graduation. The Delta Sigma picks its pledges from the ranks of academic students.

This izs the spirit of the Beta Phi, to co-operate with each other so that the common bond of unity may bring the girls closer together.

Since its recent beginning, it has had a short, eventful history, and has rapidly risen to the top of sorority ranks of William Penn. lts members are picked with care and discretion from girls of the senior class only. The object of the first T. E. O, club, as the aim of the present society, was to strengthen the social ties among the members and pledges, in order to stimu- late a really lasting friendship among the girls. The present officers of this prominent sorority are: Doris Kreiser, Presi- dent, lane Kuhlwind, Vice President, Eva Orsini, Secretary, and Doris Cloud, Treasurer. The members: Laura Greenawalt, Betty Stintzcum, Ruth Schultz, Frances McKee, and Marguerite Del Duco. The T. E. O. is a Greek letter club, Tau Epsilon Gmegaf' but has taken a Latin phrase for its motto, Tange Etiam Omniaf' This means in English, Concern yourself with all things. The girls of the society try to live up to their motto, and improve themselves not only in social manners and affairs, but also in all things of life that the high regulations of the organization approve. The members believe that each girl belonging to the sorority should be versatile enough to enter and make good in many fields of social and scho- lastic endeavor. The society' has attempted this, and to the present has enjoyed a successful history, and so sincerely hopes that the future organiza- tions of Tau Epsilon Omega may continue to have good fortune in all they do. 1940 SYLVANIAN Xt , X N sS Q SHS' fo 3 l g ........ .....,.....-.,.

It strives to develop good fellow- ship and fine fun between academic and commercial girls in William Penn and Iohn Harris. lts members are selected from the cream of the junior class, and must meet with the strict requirements that the tradition of the club demands. The selection of pledges is done with great care, and this accounts for the fine record and high caliber of the girls of the O. T. I. The many dances and parties that the sorority held and the efficiency with which they were handled testify to the unusual ability of the club to work together. The most notable event of the year was the gala Christmas Formal that drew a huge crowd of holiday dancers. The officers, Ianet Stauffer, Presi- dentg Peggy Good, Vice President, Barbara Greybill, Treasurerg lane Reynolds cmd Eleanor Fyfe, Business Managers, and Ieanne Windsor, Secretary, did an enormous share of the work required to give such a large dance. The other members of the sorority are: Betty Moore, Nancy Byrem, Dorothy Kling, Hen- rietta DeLone, Dorothy Gorman, Betty Donnley, and Dorothy Hoffman. The present club wishes that all future O. T. I. sororities will realize the importance of developing lasting and sincere friendships among themselves. May they realize, even more, the value of establishing and keeping a high reputation in the eyes of their fellow students. 1940 - - SYLVANIAN 35' X N. 1 .X 1+ vo oil OO OO ...
