Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1944 volume:

The lowet 1944 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF YORK JUNIOR COLLEGE YORK • PENNSYLVANIA Toteufotd In publishing the second edition of The Tower, we, the members of the class of 1944, wish to express our appreciation to all those faculty members, freshmen, and friends who have helped to make this product a reality. Even though the ma- jority of its members are now serving in the armed forces, the class of 1944 wishes to carry on the tradition started by the charter class of York Junior College. In this yearbook the editors have recorded the activities which constitute a major part of life at York ' s Community College. ge 4 Towering, a student of the sky; Jutting toward stars and clouds, Blueness and birds. Learning the snap of electricity From dashing dapper Lightning And viewing the Law of Thunder. Lashed by high winds, Loved by soft winds. Mingling with all the goodness So much above us.

Bauman, who has been much more to us than merely Professor of chemistry, we, the class of 1944, affectionately dedicate the second edition of The Tower. He has proved to us over and over again this statement which he has often made, If you want to have something done, ask a busy person to do it for you. Because he has al- ways shown a genuine personal interest in every student, and because he has always wholeheartedly promoted student interests and activities, we have found in our two years ' acquaintance with Mr. Bauman what we consider an ideal teacher-student relationship. The class of 1944 wishes a future rich with happiness and success to a real friend. Page 8 HARRY D. BAUMAN f 1 Pll .jsO.. ' Jtf 11 ' BLj ?L-rt£ f£f F £ rx rrr ( .

Although seventy-five percent of the 1944 class enrollment are now serving our country in the present conflict, the publication of this year ' s Tower is one more example that the remaining members of the class possess these admirable attributes. To all of you who have contributed toward the recording of student life, events, and early traditions of a new community college, I wish to congratulate and commend you. All who have been intimately associated in the York Junior College this year will place in- creasing value upon this publication as time passes. Your children and grandchildren will turn these pages with added interest and respect for the ones who under these unusually difficult times, recorded the early history of the Junior College. Your class may be the smallest in number that will ever graduate from the York Junior College. This will have been due entirely to war conditions. You have accepted your re- sponsibilities to your college and completed your assignment. This will always be a source of pride and satisfaction to you and to all who are interested in the continuation of opportunities for higher education in our community. May you continue after graduation to seek opportunities to carry the torch of worthy pur- poses even though it may be that you face unusual and trying conditions. Lester F.

As they have gone, so we must go To furious tasks and graver ranks. Though our part be lesser, we hope, Through the tower ' s strength, to give thanks In such a noble way. Happy hours we ' ve shared; Inspired through work, learning, and play. Maturer grown through trials and proofs We ' ve found our world expand each day. Vague and shadowed the future lies. Like our tower from its foundation Full of hope and faith we arise To greet a better tomorrow. lyrics by Margaret Lindemuth Hughes music by Carolyn Pendleton ?Li WUL The class of 1944 of York Junior College of the City of York, County of York, State of Pennsylvania, being of unsound mind, memory, and understanding, does make, publish and declare this to be its last will and testament in manner following: To the next Sophomore class we be- queath both the mass judgment of our il- lustrious class and the strict parliamentary order with which all class meetings are conducted. To Dudley Horn and Lois Schubauer we will Audria Stinger ' s and Margaret Hughes ' ability to make money on the second-hand bookstore. To John Frank we will Woody Meisen- helder ' s passion for Mortimer Snerd, prob- ably derived from a similarity in person- ality and appearance.

To Deborah Sumner we will Carolyn Pendleton ' s singing ability. We leave Chet Quickel ' s good brawl (oops I mean ball) room intentions to Norma Patterson. We will Audria Stinger ' s editorial pen to Mary Jane Finke. To Rosemary Cooley we will Margaret Hughes ' habit of having twins (by Jupi- ter). We bequeath Ray Frank ' s coy innocence to Ruth Brown. We leave Chet Quickel ' s kindness to his web-footed friends to Eloise Minnich. To Gene Trump we will C. P. ' s photo- genic qualities so that she may contribute to Spangler ' s pin-up collection. We leave Dick Ludwig ' s good cheer to Elizabeth Deitz. We bequeath Audria Stinger ' s black- snake whip to Jeanetta Reneberger. Page 25 @la5l Will, continued We will Woody ' s ability to say No to Art Hess. We leave Ray Frank ' s New World Order to the next Sociology class. To Sam Horn we leave the many offices of vice-presidency which Margaret Hughes has held. We bequeath Carolyn Pendleton ' s purple sweater to Adelaide Lightner. We will Doris Anderson ' s ability to sprint out of Chemistry class at exactly five after the hour to Gloria Reiss. To Eleanor Feld we will Frank ' s ability to sidetrack class discussions. We bequeath Dick Ludwig ' s knowledge of airplanes to Alice Jones. Our tennis fiend, Stinger, we will to Jean Rahauser. To Jakie Thomas we leave Woody Meis- enhelder ' s fear of the feminine sex. To Phvllis Geesey we will Margaret Hughes ' matrimonial success. We will Doris ' passionate love for basketball to Lois Schubauer. To Gloria Marke we will Margie ' s southern trips in case of toe ailments. We bequeath Ray ' s ability to lead the basketball team to victory to next year ' s captain. To Helen Louise Bahn we leave Caro- lyn ' s wonderful talent of keeping on good terms with both members of the famous triangle. We bequeath Woody ' s curly locks to Kinsev Maxell. We will Chet Quickel ' s hairdo to Bill Miller. To Spangler we will Audria Stinger ' s private French lesson. We leave Doris Anderson ' s dislike for Spanish to Frances Bailey. We will Ludwig ' s love of outdoor life to Kinsey Maxell and Beauty. To the future class we will all rights that we have enjoyed as sophomores. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the above named testator as and for its Last Will and Testament in the presence of each other, have hereunto set our hands as witnesses. Doris Anderson. @La55 jQtophecu The world has its great discoverers, America its explorers, Pennsylvania its pioneers, York its enterprisers and even York Junior College its adventurer. Oh, in case you haven ' t heard, it ' s Richard Ludwig of the Class of 1944 I ' m speaking of. All the big newspapers, The Times, The Record, and the Jersey Journal Slander Slinger report that he has just dis- covered the Northwest Pole. A notable discoverv anvone would be proud of. Let ' s see, there were eight in that class I believe. I wonder what became of the others. Of course Audria Stinger is editor of the Jersev Journal Slander Slinger, that famous scandal sheet. Its outstanding feature is that it presents only the scandal from the best families. It seems strange that Raymond Frank never became more than a taxi driver. He was such an ambitious lad. I really be- lieve he means to develop his theory of the New Order, though. The last time I called his taxi, he stopped halfway to my destina- tion and said, I ' m sorry, you ' ll have to walk from here, I just remembered it ' s time for a consultation of the New Order ' s government officials. It hasn ' t been so long ago that I heard from Margaret Lindemuth Hughes. She had just given birth to the second set of twins. I imagine she ' s kept busy. By Jupiter!! Margaret said that besides get- ting grav with worry over her little bundles of double trouble she is pestered daily, by the Semi-Micro Chicken Hatch- erv, reminding her that peeps are the best pets for children. The Semi-Micro Hatcherv is managed by Doris Anderson. She said the name Semi- Micro was to describe the size of the profit but probablv the odd name was a result of a compromise because she could never de- cide which she wanted to be a chemist or a farmer. Frank mentioned the other day that, William Meisenhelder or more familiarly Woodv, is often a passenger of his. He has been the Manager of the Chemistry de- partment of the Double Bubble Soap Co. for several years. In emergencies when he Page lb (Zla55 jQtophecu, continued goes down to the lab, it is rumored that he still sings absentmindedlv Young Folks, Old Folks, or some other impro- vised song. You know of course that Carolyn Pendleton, the sweetheart of the Class of 1944 is Woody ' s secretary. I don ' t doubt that C. P. (as we all call her) is a very efficient secretary in her line. Doesn ' t it seem strange that C. P. the sweetheart ' ' and Woody, the wolf, of the class are still such friends. Remember they used to go together when they were kids? The class may also boast of that great Shakespearean actor, Chester Quickel. He is now giving his 596th performance in Hamlet in New York. Wouldn ' t we all like to see him! Thus you see that from the illustrious eight of the Class of ' 44 much talent has developed. A great discoverer, a Shake- spearean actor, a well known and versatile editor and a taxi driver who is also the founder of a new government of the future, are certainly enough celebrities for a class of eight to give the world. But the Class of ' 44 has other members of which it can boast as well. A magnate of the chemistry industry, an understanding and accom- plished secretary, an ambitious manager of a hatchery and a conscientious mother, the noblest of all may not be able to claim the title of celebrities but they certainly are important. Now tell me honestly, who would have thought it? La55 -tflltOtlj When I think about it, it seems quite a long time has elapsed since forty-eight of us entered the chapel on our first day at York Junior College, two Septembers ago. As students we represented many sections of York and York County. One of our number hailed from upper-state New York. Not only geographically, but in person- ality were we a heterogeneous group of freshmen. Our number included young people who were here for various reasons. Some came to learn, others came to satisfy parents ' wishes; still others to have a good time. We were all united in one purpose — the purpose of getting something out of our life at Y.J.C. I venture to say that none of us have failed on that score. Our bewildered feeling, which is char- acteristic of newly arrived freshmen, was quicklv dispelled by the warm welcome we received from our big frothers and sisters. We met our new professors through the pleasant medium of a tea given in our honor. Elections were held and our class started its college career with Guy Berk- stresser at the helm. The sophomores let us know at the very start who was going to be boss for a while by imposing Fresh- man Customs upon each of us. For a week many queer sights were seen around the campus. The girls were compelled to wear long white stockings and green dinks; the fellows, white socks, black bow ties, and green dinks. Both sexes carried large signs hanging around their necks bearing their respective names. All customs were car- ried out in a spirit of good sportsmanship, and no one really minded them too much. Freshman customs were ended with the play-off of a basketball game between the freshmen and sophomores which was held at the Y.M.C.A. the day before Thanks- giving. The sophomores sponsored several get-acquainted parties for us at the Y.M.C.A. and in the Boys ' Lounge. Lambda Sigma Chi, the girls ' social sorority of Y. J. C, saw to it that the girls were initiated all over again, this time as new members of the sorority. We celebrated our first Christmas Sea- son at Y.J.C. by attending the Christmas plav, Why The Chimes Rang, in which Paula Concino, Carolyn Pendleton, and William Meisenhelder took part. Many of us made our debut on the radio in a skit which the Junior College presented over a local station to acquaint the public with college activities. Freshmen partici- pating were Audria E. Stinger, Margaret Lindemuth (Hughes), William C. Meisen- helder, Jack Busier, and John Spangler. Springtime hailed a tremor of delicious excitement which spread abroad when Miss Sheaffer announced that the Junior College was going to present Little Women as its annual major production for the spring of 1943- Little Women will never be forgotten, especially by those freshmen who took part in it. Maybe half the fun was in those midnight parties that were well attended by all the cast. Freshman thespians were Margaret Linde- Page 27 1 55 r iltotu, continued muth (Hughes), Chester G. Quickel, and William C. Meisenhelder. This dramati- zation was presented to a full house on two nights, May 7 and 8 of 1943. Among commencement activities in which the freshmen participated and helped to plan were the Lambda Sigma Chi Banquet held at the Brownstone House in April, the breakfast honoring the sopho- mores which has become a traditional Class Dav feature, and a banquet and dance combined for the sophomores which was held at Hotel Yorktowne the evening of Class Day. Freshmen were really proud of Audria Stinger who received the College Club award for the most worthy girl in their class. As we witnessed the charter class graduate from Y. J. C. we looked forward eagerlv to a bigger and better sophomore year. With an increased feeling of importance we returned in the fall of 1943 as full- fledged sophomores. We didn ' t waste much time in asserting our new authority, as the new freshmen discovered when we clamped our revised set of customs upon them. We started out the year in a grand wav with a get-acquainted picnic held at Miss Root ' s home in Yorkshire. A big event of the fall of ' 43 was the completion of our new gym of which all of us were justly proud. It offered many new opportunities for sports participation. Along with the gym we received a new lounge, beautifully furnished in maple and decorated by the girls of Lambda Sigma Chi. Hallowe ' en saw us having a really spooky party in rooms 16 and 17. Our social committee outdid themselves for that affair. Another Christmas rolled around, and we observed it in our traditional way, by helping to present a Christmas play. This time it was Bird ' s Christmas Carol. When we returned after the holidays, we were all busy with the writing of term papers and preparing for exams. Weary with work and strain, we climaxed our exam week with a rollicking party at Camp Ganoga. Since that first party, several similar ones have taken place, and have been popularly called winter pic- nics. After the second semester was in full sway, our class, dwindled to seven in num- ber, determined to produce a second issue of The Tower. We realized what an im- mense task we were undertaking, but we asked only for the opportunity to make good. Thanks to persistent effort on the part of each class member, and to the will- ing cooperation of the freshmen and facultv, our dream became a successful reality. Another spring, and following it as a natural sequence came another major dramatization. The Goose Hangs High, a fast-moving comedy, was presented bv the college on April 1, 1944, to an apprecia- tive audience. Warm sunny days and a reawakening of nature sped us on to commencement. The fact that only five of us remained did not daunt us. We planned a bigger and better Class Dav. Those important and secretive weeklv class meetings held at each mem- ber ' s home for the purpose of planning a Class Day program proved an enigma to the rest of the college. After attending the Freshman-Sophomore banquet, the Class Dav Breakfast, and the Alumni Banquet, Commencement night rolled around. We hated to leave, but the time had come, and we had to depart, never to return to Y. J. C. again as college students. Although we were very proud of the class members who left our presence to serve our country, we were equally proud of those of us who remained until the natural time had come for us to leave. The scholarship of the Class of 1944 was very high. This fact proves that in addition to having many good times, we also spent some time studying. We, as the Class of ' 44 disagree with a certain saying which states that all good things must come to an end. Although we have had to say farewell to our friends at Y. J. C, we feel that we will never part with the broader understanding of the world about us, and a greater growth of character within us — instead we have claimed them as our heritage, a priceless heritage grown from two years of college life. We leave you thefaculty, thebuildings, and books to make of them what you will, but we have taken our heritage with us to follow us wherever we may go.

Page 34 •flctiwtlel Page 35 J ulxLicatlon5 te 3(5 Lejl lo Right: Doi A tower — yes, much is signified in that symbol. It stands before us as we have entered these halls each day, in rain, in snow, in high and soft winds and in bril- liant sunshine and blue alike; it remains as the symbol of everything life at Y. J. C. means to us. It represents a bulwark, something which stands to strengthen our faith in our decision to find truth; it is there to inspire our desire to be earnest when life has appeared sordid and ugly. In short, the tower which rises majesti- cally from this college into the sky is a challenge to us who are leaving, a chal- lenge which silently tells us to go out into our several paths with courage. Because we haven ' t time to tell you what we have taken from the store of our college environment to enrich each of our lives, we are trying to show you as fully as possible through the medium of The Tower the outward manifestations of our college life. Carolyn Pendleton. The history of The Tower is in itself a story of struggle. It is difficult to imagine the extent of the obstacles that confront a first class to graduate from any new in- stitution. To the charter class of Y. J. C, the class of 1943, goes much credit for its determination to edit a yearbook in spite of the many snares along the way. We are proud to be able to follow in their foot- steps, to confirm our right to express our conception of the Four Freedoms, so that you may see and share, to a limited ex- tent, our experiences during the years 1942 to 1944. Under the leadership of Audria E. Stin- ger and Margaret Lindemuth Hughes was the following staff: Business Manager, Doris L. Anderson; Advertising Manager, William C. Meisenhelder; Literary Editor, Carolyn Pendleton; and Freshman Editor, M-ry Jane Finke. Rebekah S. Sheaffer, English professor, was faculty adviser. Page 37 Left to Right, Seated: D. Sumner. A.

Its history has been parallel to that of the school. Whenever an out- standing event is to occur the Collegian is always the first to herald its approach. The first issue of the school newspaper appeared on December 12, 1941, with Bette Jane Metzler as editor-in-chief. It was through her initiative and untiring ef- forts that the first issues were published. It was with great regret that the staff ac- cepted her resignation from that position. Robert W. Olewiler, ' 43, then took over the reins to publish the first 6-page issue. Faculty adviser, chosen because of his in- terest in journalism, was Walter B. Kelly. To climax the first year of journalism the final issue was dedicated to the senior class of the York Collegiate Institute. Under the advisership of Miss Rebekah S. Sheaffer the second year of The York Collegian was begun. With the help of several freshmen, who were interested in journalism, Wendell McMillan, ' 43, as editor-in-chief, and Mary Jane Yohe, as associate editor, were able to edit a paper which was distributed regularly. As the charter class was preparing to graduate from York Junior College, Audria E. Stinger, as acting editor-in-chief, pub- lished the issue commemorating the first Commencement exercises of the college. The following September when college opened, the editor found that many of the key positions on the staff were vacant. After almost complete reorganization of the staff, Volume III, Number I appeared November 8, 1943. The scope of the paper was broadened by coverage of Secondary School news, local concert news, and Alumni news. By coordination between faculty members and reporters a more com- plete coverage of school news was obtained . Through encouragement of the English department the quality of journalism was also raised. The insignia of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association was used for the first time in the issue appearing April 28, 1944, this innovation, signifying member- ship in the largest school press association in the United States. By its membership in this organization it indicates that The York Collegian is a newspaper whose staff is interested in furthering the high aims of journalism. This membership was the highlight of the paper ' s third successful year of publication. The class of 1944 realizes that to Bette Jane Metzler goes the orchids for organiz- ing and promoting our school newspaper. Credit must also be given to her successors for carrying on in such a capable way: Robert Olewiler, Wendell McMillan and Audria Stinger. To the future classes of York Junior Col- lege, we issue a challenge to carry on the journalistic success enjoyed by The York Collegian. We also challenge you to suc- cess in C. S. P. A. competition. For the newspaper is a school organ which will keep going only so long as its students maintain their respect for good journalism. THE COLLEGIAN STAFF Editor-in-chief Audria E.

St: Student Council During the year 1942-43 Carolyn Pendle- ton was elected girl representative to Stu- dent Council. She was the only member of our present class who participated in stu- dent government. In 1943-44 the administration of Stu- dent Government began hopefully with a fair representation of boys as well as several girls. The Sophomore class officers, William Meisenhelder, President; Chester Quickel, Vice-President; Doris Anderson, Secretary; and Carolyn Pendleton, Treas- urer, automatically became the officers of the student council. The two representa- tives from the Sophomore class were Mar- garet Lindemuth Hughes and Richard Lud- wig. The Freshmen officers were: Presi- dent, Lamarr Kopp; Vice-President, Gloria Reiss; Secretary, Phyllis Geesey; Treasurer, Eloise Minnich; Representatives, Elizabeth Dietz and Henry Spangler. By midyear owing to inductions of some of the officers and to new election of fresh- men class officers there were several changes in the student body. The new officers elected were: Sophomore Vice- President Audria Stinger and the office of boy representative was left vacant neces- sarilv bv the absence of all boys; Freshmen officers were Arthur Hess, President; Dud- ley Horn, Vice-President; Eleanor Feld, Secretary, with Ruth Hofmann and John Frank as representatives. The Student Council discussed ways and means of achieving cooperation between students and the faculty and to settle prob- lems which occur among the students themselves. The student government has been a dynamic force in the directing of student activities. Page 41 Left to Right, Sealed: C. Pcndlcl Standing: D. Sumner, N. Pane a, G. Reiss, R. Brown, A. Jones, M.

The sorority, which is social as well as literary, sponsored and took part in many events of the college in its first year. Following this fine beginning the so- ciety increased its activities in its second vear and became established as an essential part of the school. It sponsored such social events as a Community Sing, a Basket Luncheon, and a banquet at the Brownstone House. Pins were designed, using the emblem of the society. Miss Su- san Smith, professor of Spanish, was faculty adviser. In the third year, 1943-44, Lambda Sigma Chi continued its activities under the leadership of Audria E. Stinger, the President. The other officers, serving this year, were as follows: Margaret L. Hughes, Vice-President; Elizabeth Deitz, Secre- tary; and Doris Anderson, Treasurer. The memorable events of this third year in the history of the organization include a Community Sing, during which the Sym- phonette of York Junior College played and Mrs. Frank Chalmers, Director, ren- dered several cello solos. Later the group sponsored a skating party. As its last and most inspiring feature a banquet at the Brownstone House was given at which time Miss Rebekah Sheaffer was the guest speaker. Elected by the members, Dr. Louisette Logan served as adviser for 1943-44. Page 41 Lejl to Right, First Rou : R. Hofm Second Row: H. L. Bahn, E. Deitz Third Row: R. Thomas, J. Frank, Fourth Row: A.

Each side of the symbol repre- sents one of these interests. At present nearly all of the college stu- dents are members of the society. Begin- ning in September, 1944, only those per- sons may be members who have an average of eighty per cent or better. The society holds two meetings a month, one, a business meeting, is held at school; the other is a supper meeting. This year the supper meetings were held at the Golden Glow Cafeteria. In connection with the supper meeting there is always a program. The first speaker of the year was Dr. Hilde Jaeckel, who spoke on Switzerland. Other pro- grams included a chalk-talk by Walter Trout; a talk by Gudni Asgiersson, a na- tive of Iceland; a discussion on the sub- ject, Should Young People in Love Marry During War Time? ; and a talk by Henry Lentz, Juvenile probation officer. For the Christmas meeting a small tree was placed on the table and gifts were put around it. The highlight of the program was the distribution of gifts, many of which were humorous. The society decided to order diamond- shaped gold pins with black enamel on the face, the symbol delta on the upper half and the symbol sigma on the lower half. The officers of the society who served throughout the year: President, Arthur Hess; Vice-President, Margaret Lindemuth Hughes; Secretarv-Treasurer, L. Ruth Hof- mann. The following officers served for the first semester: Chaplain, Phyllis Gee- sey; Critic, Raymond Frank; Parliamen- tarian, Robert Jenkins. New officers elected for the second semester were: Chaplain, Frances Bailey; Critic, Eleanor Felcf; Parliamentarian, William Meisen- helder. Harry D. Bauman served as societv adviser.

Coo J-inaui5tian5 Parle -vous francais? No, hablo es- panoll Such questions as the two men- tioned are characteristic of the Linguis- tians, the combined language society of York Junior College. Organized in the fall of 1943 this club meets the third Thurs- day of every month at eleven o ' clock in room 17. Because of the variety of lan- guages represented, the meeting is con- ducted in English; however, the theme of the club is to studv various languages and the customs of the countries represented by the different languages. Requirements are merely to have studied a language at one time and to wish to further one ' s knowl- edge of languages. As for social life the Linguistians rivaled New Orleans with its Mardi Gras pre- sented February 22, 1944. The entire col- lege was invited, and each guest came in costume. During the course of the evening a king was chosen by chance and the queen was crowned. The queen, Gene Trump, had formerlv been chosen by popu- lar vote of the college students. With the guests dancing, eating, and making merry, the initial Mardi Gras came to an end. At Christmas-time a party was held for members onlv at which time Christmas carols were sung in various languages. The officers of the Linguistians are as follows: President, L. Ruth Hofmann; Vice-President, Lois Schubauer; Secretary, Natalie Butler; Treasurer, Mary Jane Finke; French Chaplain, Jeanetta Rene- berger; Spanish Chaplain, Lois Givens. Dr. Hilde Jaeckel, head of the Language Department of York Junior College, is the adviser. Since Dr. Jaeckel lived the greater part of her life in Europe, it can easily be seen that she is a great asset to an organiza- tion of this kind.

The play centered about the lives of the Ingals twins, Lois and Bradley, two college students who were unaware of the fact that their parents were sacrificing endlessly in order to send them to college. When Bernard Ingals, their father, was forced to resign his posi- tion as city assessor, the twins and their older brother, Hugh, suddenly came to the realization that everything was up to them. Lois decided to go to work de- signing advertisements for Mr. Wingate, owner of a local department store; Bradley got a job with a local theater; and Hugh and Dagmar Carroll, his fiancee, postponed their wedding. The children ' s determina- tion to run the roost, as Bernard Ingals termed it, angered him at first, but he fin- ally became convinced that they had learned how to play the game of life fairly and squarelv. All ends well for the family when Grannv and Noel Derby made it possible for Bernard to achieve his life ' s ambition, that of going into the nursery business. The cast of characters was as follows: Bernard Ingals, Kinsev Maxell; Eunice Ingals, Margaret Lindemuth Hughes; Noel Der- by, Arthur Hess; Leo Day, Richard Thomas; Granny, Phyllis Geesey; Rho- da, Dons Anderson; Julia Murdoch, Gloria Marlel; Ronald Murdoch, William Miller; Lois Ingals, Rosemary Cooley; Bradlev Ingals, Henry Spangler; Elliott Kimberley, William Meisenhel- der; Dagmar Carroll, Helen Louise Bahn; ' ' Hugh Ingals, S . Dudley Horn ; ' ' Dazzler, Beautv Maxell. The Goose Hangs High was pre- sented April 1, 1944, was under the direct- ion of Miss Rebekah S. Sheaffer. Page 46 J-ittle Woman The house lights dimmed and the stage brightened as the curtains parted for 1943 ' s major dramatization, Little Wo- men. One immediately felt the warmth and homey atmosphere which was staged so vividly by the four beloved sisters. One was made to feel a part of this family whether it be with the loving magnetism of Mrs. March, the kindly gestures ex- tended by the good neighbor, Mr. Lau- rence, the boyish enthusiasm of Laurie, or the quiet reserve of Mr. Brooke. Perhaps the suggestive fragrance of the Christmas roses and the soft crackle of the warming fire helped many to feel the nearness of the March home. Yes, we shall always re- member our seemingly short visit with this typical family. The tears we shed at the death of little Beth; the pride and joy we felt at the birth of Meg ' s twins; the surprise and gladness experienced at Jo ' s falling in love; the relief felt with the de- velopment of Amy ' s grace and charm; and the contentment shown by Mrs. March at the realization that all her Little Wo- men would be well and happy. The cast included the following members of the class of 1944: Meg, Margaret Lindemuth (Hughes); Laurie, Chester Quickel; and Professor Bhaer, William Meisenhelder. Members of the class of 1943 were as follows: Jo, Zoe Fulton; Amy, Dorothy Ann Jenkins; Beth, Dorothy Sneeringer; Mr. Brooke, Wen- dell McMillan; Aunt March, Mary Jane Yohe; Mr. March, David Hoke; Mrs. March, Lois McWilliams; Mr. Laurence, Curtis Allison; and Han- nah, Bette Jane Metzler. The play was under the direction of Miss Rebekah S. Sheaffer and was presented May 7 and 8, 1943. Page 47 Ad U5iC L. Givens, N. Butler, R. Hnfmann. D. Suirner, J. Rahaufer, G. Reiss, R. Brown, A.

These musical drills issuing from the Chapel each week announced that the Junior College Chorus was again in session. The Chorus, under the competent di- rection of Mr. E. E. Schroeder, made its first appearance in December when it par- ticipated in the Christmas program. In April the chorus contributed to the College Service Flag Dedication program by sing- ing several patriotic numbers. Officers for the year were: Carolyn Pendleton, President; Elizabeth Dietz, Secretary; Gene Trump and Henry Spang- ler, Librarians; Frances Bailey, Accom- panist. And thus uplifted do we mount, Like some celestial throng, To realms of world-forgotten joy, On wings of living song! Page 49 Jsumpnonette Earlv in the fall of 1943 a small group of music lovers banded together under the di- rection of Mrs. Frank Chalmers to form an instrumental ensemble which included the following members: violins, Eleanor Feld and Margaret Lindemuth Hughes; Cello, Mrs. Chalmers; Clarinets, Robert Jenkins and Richard Thomas; and at the piano, Frances Bailey. Although the Symphonette can lay no claim to greatness, its members derive a good measure of satisfaction from their ef- forts in that direction. The Symphonette has furnished music for a number of assem- bly programs, for the Community Sing, for the Christmas program, and for the Spring Festival. The group has limited its repertoire to the interpretation of the classics and of the semi-classics. 50 Social £vent5 Page 51 Matdl (fta5 Multicolored lights, gay costumes, lilt- ing voices, beautiful queen and handsome king, reigned at the Y. J. C. Mardi Gras, given by the Language Club, February 22. This festive affair is representative of the social functions of the college. The initial social event was the faculty tea where scared freshmen were introduced to a beaming corps of instructors. Then there was the party at Miss Root ' s where each guest played an outdoor game and con- tentedlv munched hot dogs. Hallowe ' en showed its eerie face and Y. J. C. became the den of witches and goblins for one night. The sparkle in a young girl ' s eyes as she smiled demurelv at her escort characterized the Christmas formal held in the Yorktowne ballroom. Oh what Page 52 Pictured above is the Royal Court of the Mardi Gras. LoisM. Gr king; Gene Trump, queen; Rosemary Cooley, attendant. do we do at Camp Ganoga? We hike, we hike, we hike, was the theme song of the Y. J. C. crowd who explored the grounds surrounding Camp Ganoga at two parties held there. Proud of its part in the ' war Y. J. C. has honored with a party each boy who left her portals to keep his date with Uncle Sam. There were other parties, plays, and banquets but space does not per- mit one to tell about them. Nevertheless, an all day picnic, class day and finally the solemn, proud moments of graduation day have turned another successful page in Y. J. C ' s book of social highlights. Page 53 Spott5 Page 54 Soui SaiketltaU The Y. C. I.-Y. J. C. basketball team, the Jackrabbits, suffered a desultory season this year, winning one and losing two games. With only one man returning from last year ' s squad, the lack of experienced players was sadly felt. In fact the lack of first players was felt. Only a few men had played basketball. A team under the coaching of Ralph W. Tip- ping was started with high hopes. However, Uncle Sam had other ideas and Mr. Tipping joined the Navy. The team was disbanded but later formed again in time to suffer its first defeat at the hands of Codorus Township high school to the tune of 39-31. This game was the first game played on the new gym floor. In the second game with Codorus, the Jack- rabbits avenged the former defeat by scoring a 40-36 victory, at Codorus. This was the Cap- tain Rah Frank ' s last game with the team. In the final game of the season, the Angels from Gettysburg Seminary chased the Jackrabbits into their holes to the tune of 35-7. The members of the team were: Raymond Frank Y. J. C. Foward, Co-Captain William Meisenhelder Y . J . C. Guard, Co-Captain Robert Jenkins Y. J. C. Foivard James Lambert Y. C. I. Guard Dale Doll Y. C.

The second year of Girls ' Basketball at Y. J. C. finds a formidable team built up with the help of Coach Elizabeth Johnson Jordan. However, the history of the team goes back to 1942-43 when about a dozen girls formed a basketball team under the supervision of Mrs. John Curry. They were handicapped somewhat by not hav- ing a gymnasium nearby in which to practice. Because thev were a little late in getting started they did not play in com- petition games. Many times, however, the girls engaged in scrimmages with the Y. C. I. girls. Upon the completion of the new gym- nasium, the Amazons developed a new zest for the sport. It was not long before the daring females challenged the Y. C. I. team to a game. Although they lost by a score of 31-19, the girls were proud to say that their team had begun its season. The second challenge of the year came from Glenville High School. This game was played on our floor preceding the boys ' game. Even though the girls came through on the wrong end of a 23-21 score, they were glad of the opportunity for outside competition. Several weeks later the team joined forces with the Y. C. I. team in a fatal effort to halt the Penn Hall Junior College girls. Later in the same week the girls journeyed to Glenville in an effort to avenge themselves for the disputed vic- tory secured by the Glenville girls when they had visited us. The Y. J. C. co-eds succeeded in their first game on a foreign floor, thus chalking up their only win for the season. Page 56 Saturday, March 25, a combined Y.J. C- Y. C. I. team boarded the bus for Cham- bersburg. Again they sallied forth hoping to conquer their foe. However, because of lack of cooperation of the baskets (or something) the girls were able to bring back to York Junior College only the news of defeat. During the past year of basketball his- tory the team was captained bv Norma Patterson and Alice Jones, both of whom were stellar players on their respective high school teams. Doris Anderson and Audria Stinger were the only basketeers who saw two years ' service. Let us hope that this is only the begin- ning of the history of a girls ' organization which will win for Junior College honors wherever it plays.

JLalt -@55i5t znt5 If you have noticed several strange- looking, vile-smelling creatures doing queer things in either of the labs, chemis- try or biology, you have seen the lab assistants. Thev are the students who help to make the labs run more effectively by assisting the biological and chemistry professors in doing chores which save other students valuable class time. Typi- cal duties are as follows: Setting up ap- paratus; preparing chemicals for experi- mental work; cleaning equipment and keeping it in order; correcting papers; and assisting students. In addition to being helpful to the professors, they are gaining valuable experience which will prove useful to them if they seek to perform any type of laboratory work in hospitals, clinics, and in the chemical laboratories of industry. The following graduating students have served as assistants in the labs: Chemistry — Doris Anderson, Margaret Lindemuth Hughes, and William C. Meisenhelder. Biologv — William C. Meisenhelder and Margaret Lindemuth Hughes. Freshmen lab assistants are as follows: Chemistry — L. Ruth Hofmann, Norma Patterson, and Adelaide Lightner. Biology — Alice Jones and Jean Rahauser.

Page 59 The Library Assistants are those girls vou see sitting behind the desk, checking out books, putting away magazines, and doing research work. In addition to help- ing the Librarian with these duties, they are learning just how the Library works. In the future some of them will probably be able to use the experience they ob- tained at York Junior College to good ad- vantage. However, for the present they will be content to keep the Library in smooth running order. Those students, who assist Miss Frances E. Root, Head Librarian, are as follows: Audria Stinger and Doris Anderson, Soph- omores; Jeanetta Reneberger and Adelaide Li htner, Freshmen. Left to Rixbt, Seated: A. Stinger. Standing: A.

Ande Page 60 Service JQ.0U Page 61 etvice KM To commemorate the forty-nine alumni and two teachers T who are now serving in the Armed Forces, the York Collegiate Institute Foundation, represented by President George Schmidt, presented a service flag to the students of York Junior College. The presentation was formally made at the chapel program, April 12, 1944. Parents and friends of Y. J. C. ' s alumni in the service were present at the dedication ceremony. Pvt. William Kline, ' 43, and Air Cadet Richard Goodling, ' 43, also attended the pro- gram. After a short talk, entitled The Hard Way, by Mr. Schmidt, President Lester F. Johnson accepted the flag on be- half of the faculty and students. William C. Meisenhelder, President of Student Council, then read the names of the ser- vicemen according to their induction as of the information in the hands of the college on that date. It is interesting to note that Frederick Page was the first boy in the class of 1943 to re- port for duty; that Isaac Spaugh was the first member of this graduating class to be inducted; and that John Seiffert was the -yJ first boy of the class of 1945 to be called. On the following pages is the service roll of York Junior College arranged chronologically according to their induction. Page 62 Ttedtetlck S. Paqe, ' 43 A it Paul gilbert, ' 43 it $okn J .
