Goals of the School Board The School Board of the School District of the City of Williamsport congratulates the Class of 1941 upon the successful completion of their training as offered in the Williamsport Public Schools. We name you ''baccalaureaten-crowned with laurel. That crown is now merely a nominal one. Through the coming years you may earn for yourselves one which will not fade. That crown must really be of laurel and not of gold. It must be the crown of what you do-not what you gain. You will soon join in the task of building a better community-a better world. We have given you the tools with which to work. How you will use them is for you to learn. We know you will not fail in courage, in energy or in acquired skill. These have been the tools of every generation. But, if at life's other end you would wear a crown of laurel, you must use these qualities for the permanent good of your fellowmen. You must give thought to those moral and spiritual values by which all human progress must be weighed. WILLIAMSPORT SCHOOL BOARD 9

Notes From the Principal The annual Grab Bag was staged for the eighth time in November of the present school year. This production, which was started in 1933 in an effort to raise funds to finance the Williamsport High School Band on a post season football trip, has developed until it now includes four hundred and fifty students. Eighteen teachers cooperate in working out the various skits, acts, dances, and musical accompaniments. The slogan, Twenty-five acts for twenty-five cents, which was adopted the first year, has continued to be used in the advertising and in the central idea or character of the entertainment. The primary purpose of this exhibition is to discover and develop the unusual talent which is found among the student body. The acts are as varied in character as the talent of the boys and girls who produce them. The program is so cleverly arranged and staged that usually the master of ceremonies is the only one able to tell the nature and the order of the acts. To say that this student activity is one which replaces worry lines with laugh wrinkles is no exaggeration. This unique, original show is generally sold out one week before the time for its staging. It is held on Thursday and Friday nights and each of the sixteen times it has been produced, standing room has been at a premium. The public seems to enjoy this evening devoted to fun and frolic, and many people come annually from other towns to witness this performance. Great credit is due to the teachers who spend many extra hours with the students in preparing them for another successful entertainment. It is hoped that the Grab Bag, with its cross-section of student activity, may continue to be successful in the years to come. 8
