Editor. DEDICATION THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1943 dedicates the third edition of the TIGER as a tribute to our boys In the armed forces. -5- Ut ftXHISULH In memory of Elwood Tug” Lane of the Class of '37 who made the supreme sacrifice m defense of his country In an air battle over enemy terri- tory. -6- SRPCMSMC; PRINCIPAL Dear Seniors: You are graduating from high school In an eventful year. Although we knew that the attack on Pearl Harbor would bring us into World War Two at once, we did not realize how vitally our entrance would affect every phase of American life within two years. Indeed we did not dream on that fateful Sunday after- noon as we heard radio accounts of the attack that members of your class would be selected for military service before commencement day In 1943. Thus we face total war; you seniors have experienced some grim realities of It even In school. But you have done well. It Is not easy to settle down to common-place duties In school or out with the urge always present to do something spectacu- lar to help save Freedom. Graduating students and others of Robertsdale High School have shown good Judgment by remaining at less glamorous school tasks In spite of enticements to leave school entirely or to do an Inferior quality of work while waiting for the first opportunity to go elsewhere. Your school congratulates you and wishes you happiness and success In the days that lie ahead. Very sincerely yours, -7- li APPRECIATION In deep admiration and ♦-horough sincerity we appreciate the patient and ingenious interest bestowed upon the school by a member of the faculty, Miss Ann Marcoccl. -8- FACULTY Kermit Wible Shippensburg State Teachers College Science Hazel Elizabeth Angle Shippensburg State Teachers College Mathematics ?

Let's bring new glory to Old Glory, With faith and courage, we'll win through. So, wave on Old Glory and with the help of God, We'll bring new glory to you. 12- An unpredictable future lies ahead for many of us. We must accept self- sacrifice in a world at war. The boys of our class may soon be called upon as several already have to serve their country; our girls will take up the vital work of production for the preservation of our country and its Ideals. With this seriousness ahead of us. It Is natural that we recall the memorable days we have spent at Robertsdale High School. Our class has not been without flaws, but we feel we have left our mark In scholarship and extra-curricular activities. As we leave, I feel sure that this class will make Its stand In life elsewhere as well as In school. Together we wish to express our sincere appreciation to faculty members and administration for encouragement and friendly advice which they have given us. Though we may be dubious about what the future holds for us, we are certain that come what may, we are prepared to face It with confidence that has been Instilled In us here at Robertsdale High School. -13- - James Houck IN SERVICE Pvt.

Let us glance back over those four seemingly short years. In 1939 we find the graduating class of '43, elghty-flve In attendance, separated Into two sections. Olrls were under the supervision of Mrs. Price, the former Nell Young, who now lives in Everett, Pa. Boys were under the guidance of Mr. Wilbur McClain, now a soldier In the United States Army- The two groups of green freshles chose their class representatives for the year. The class elected Bill Troutman as presiding officer, and Susie Berzansky as the vice-president, while Elizabeth Brenna held the money-bags and reported the minutes. Being very studious freshles , our social calendar chalked up only one party - the fresh- man debut . At the end of the freshman year the attendance had dropped to seventy-four. After finishing a year as freshles we moved into place as the 1940 Sophs - slxty-nlne In all. During the sophomore year, Miss Marcoccl listened to our many troubles. David Corrle led our class as president with Eva Kowalchlk acting as vice-president. James Houck sang Dancing on a Dime and our minute man was Adolph Altobelll. In our new surroundings, we flourished into a second social affair - the Sophomore Frolic which was followed by several other affairs. At the end of this year, only slxty-one persons were still with us. By the time 1941 rolled around, we were ready to take our places as Juniors. We were almost as sturdy, though not as dignified, as those mighty seniors. That year the class was under two capable supervisors, Mr. Fenstennacher and Mr. Ebersole. We chose John Henwood as president. Bill Troutman as vice-president, Lucille Foore as secretary, and Elizabeth Brenna, treasurer. The Junior Prom loomed up as a goal toward which to work. We were prepared for a social as well as a financial success. On April 24, 1942, the long-awaited day arrived with the Juniors working like mad to prepare food and decorate the auditorium. The coming of evening led many to the R.H.S. dance floor to the music of Del Rio's orchestra. And now as those long dreamed-of seniors, we have reached the last post In our four year march. Under the guidance of Mr. Wlble, President James Houck and Vice-president James McClain attended to the more weighty problems which were before our class, while Naomi Warden handled our money and Jean Tewell kept the minutes straight. During our senior year through the suc- cesses of the senior play, sport contests, and publication of our year book, we have been greatly encouraged. But all these things are In the past. We now leave our successes and short-comings to those who follow, while we go forth to Join the ranks of the Alumni. Many of us who have been hurling basketballs and footballs for dear old R.H.S., will join the multitudes who are putting up a desperate struggle to keep this, our America, safe and free from oppression. To these we extend the hope that their victories in school activities will carry over to bring victory in a more serious struggle. -20- Jean Tewell CIAS S WILL Board of Education, Teachers, and Friends: On behalf of our client, the Class of 1943, of Robertsdale High School, City of Robertsdale,State of Ponna.,U.S.A., you have been called upon on this solemn occasion, to listen to her last will and testament and to receive from her all her earthly possessions, all the appurtenances and hereditaments thereunto belonging, to the persons hereinafter mentioned.

The wind howls; shutters bang. Elizabeth: What a nightI We haven t seen a storm like this since the hurricane of '42. Ruth: Remember how trees were destroyed and power lines damaged? We were seniors at the Rcbertsdale High School that year — the only pupils In the State, I guess, that didn't get a day off. Elizabeth: I wonder what has become of our graduating class since that time. Ruth: I don't know, but I'm too sleepy to care now. I'm going to bed. Elizabeth: I'm Just about asleep myself. Good night. We are standing on the corner,In the pouring rain, waiting for a cab - soon one approaches chauffered by Mary Maslanlk, looking very chic In a blue and gold uniform. We gladly enter the cab. In our conversation Mary suggests a visit to the DAILY CAB where R obert Park has been appointed editor-in-chief. Going through the building we spy an office with letters on the door: JAMES BLACK, CARTOONIST. Eager to talk to our chum we walk In and, to our surprise, Eleanor Bollinger, the model secretary, greets us. After a short chat, Eleanor calls Cloma Brown, offi- cial guide there, who takes us through the entire building. In the advertising department we find Willard Watkins setting up type for a large advertise- ment of Curfman's Bandbox Dancing Pavilion. Willard shows us two more layouts announcing the gala debut of the Foster Singing School and the success of the famous Peffer Boulevard Restaur- ant. In another type there Is a clever advertisement of the new home designed by Martin Devore for Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Park, Mrs. Park being the former Myra Ross, a registered nurse. Cloma reads us a slogan: There's no man with endurance, like the man who sells Insurance - of course we know It must be Ernest Weight. In the First Aid department It is surprising to find Jean Tewell and Ruth Leabhart, the women In white, working side by side as nurses. After talking of our days together at dear old R.H.S., Cloma ushers us Into the fashion department where we find Betty Martin and Gwendolyn Rourke designing styles for the next edition. Still busy at the typewriter, Mary Lazor Is answering fan letters with her secretary, Dorothy Williams at the typewriter. Cloma now ushers us to the printing room. As we pick up one of the papers, fresh from the press, we are amazed by the headlines which read: TEST OF JAMES McCLAIN AND JOHN HENWOOD'S FLASH AIRPLANE PROVES SUCCESS. In the trip to Tlmbuctoo they carried fifty passengers among whom was Allen Black, our present ambassador to France. Looking after the comfort of the passengers was the very efficient hostess, Dlvlna Corrler. Also quite Interesting was the article concerning William Troutman. William has achieved great fame as a successful chemist at M.I.T. Glancing at the movie section we read that Naomi Warden and Max Shugarts are starring in We Saw Them When at the Chllcote Live and Laugh Humor Theater. Further down is a special engagement fea- turing Betty Endres In one of her fancy dancing steps and Maestro Horton with his Swinging Hillbillies. A news bulletin from the N.B.C. tells of the arrival to the U.S. of Elwood Neville and Francis Cutshall, military attaches to'.the American Embassy. On the WOMAN'S PAGE we also find the name of several of our school mates: Verna Stinson, home economics supervisor, gives helpful hints on the art of sewing. Mary Stever, prominent make-up artist for M.G.M. in an item, Hints for Beauty , gives valuable information on the uses of soap and water. Verna Lover, a foods expert, tells us how to get the most value from foods, and Helen Mornlngstar (Ives hints on using our ration points wisely. On the following page we see the column Have You Heard? by Arlene Buseck and Lucille Foore. We were reading several Items of Importance to us: Eva Kowalchlk, prominent society woman, has been seen with Adolph Altobelll, wealthy comedian. In a fashionable military wedding solemnized in Baltimore, Elizabeth Brenna becomes the bride of Colonel Andy Lazor of the U.S.ar,.. . In an article entitled Religion and Education we see the name of Ruth Corrle, prominent lecturer who Is touring the United States lecturing to high school groups. Our class 1b represented on the sports page also. We find James Houck has made a name for himself in the world of baseball by scoring four home-runs In the 1948 World Series. Honors in football go to the great star player, John Carbelll.who held the spotlight In the 1948 Rose Bowl game. We read also that Earl Eckley was crowned world's heavy weight boxing champion In a box- ing match held last night in the Left-to-the-Nose Garden. After thanking Cloma for her kind attention and saying goodbye to our school chums, we start for the door. What's that! B—r—RRRRRR!! Fire! Fire! Ruth: Run, Elizabeth, quick-------it's a fire! Elizabeth: Ho hum! That won't work. It's your turn to stop the alarm clock! -23- SENIOR PUT AUNT SUSIE SHOOTS THE WORKS If the manner In which the public receives any dramatic production is a means to the mea- sure of Its success, then the Senior Class play entitled - Aunt Susie Shoots the Works was absolutely a success. Enough praise cannot be given to those seniors of the cast who dis- played great talent and to the directors Miss' Angle and Miss Marcoccl who caused our presenta- tion to be labeled the best.” when Aunt Susie shoots the works she explodes a bombshell of resounding mirth. Aunt Susie, an eccentric and man-hating old maid,lives alone. When she learns she is heir to the King residence she wires her nelce, Joy Herbert, telling her to meet her at her new residence. Joy and her maid. Scarlet, arrive and while waiting In the supposedly deserted house for Aunt Susie, they are confronted with hair-raising events. Aunt Susie arrives Just as Joy is prepar- ing to leave and informs her that she has also Inherited a sausage factory which she expects to operate. Lights flash off and on, characters disappear Into nowhere, strange visitors run In and out, and at midnight weird noises are heard. Aunt Susie is determined to Investigate and goes Into the sausage factory alone. The climax is reached when Aunt Susie does shoot the works. In her attempt to do so she causes much excitement. Finally, to the relief of everyone in- volved, everything is straightened out. The Cast Aunt Susie. . . Joy Herbert . . Scarlet .... Portia Lark . . Madame Zola . . Johnny Rogers . Laura Dawson. .
