Message from JJrincipal I am happy to write a few sentences for the faculty. We think that the activities recorded in this volume are an important phase of the life of our school. They represent activities in which boys and girls are the active participants and we, the teachers, serve as guides. We believe that when this condition exists learning has its best chance to take place, and we crave the day when the entire school program will operate on this basis. It is our belief that our publications reached a "new high" in 1939-40. Congratulations to the Class of 1940 for this achievement.

I said to the shopkeeper at midnight, "Give me skill and grace and wisdom, that I may be well equipped for the new day." "Sir," the shopkeeper replied, "hast thou not received all for which thou hast paid?" "I have not paid at all," said I, "but I have here a bag of shining silver coins. I will pay what you ask." "Alas, my son," said he, "such things as thou desirest cannot be purchased with silver, and they must be paid for in advance. Fill well thine hours with honest, appropriate effort, and thou wilt have no need to make a last minute purchase for the new day." I like to preach, and I believe in my preaching; but I hope you will remember me not as a preacher or a teacher, but just as a friend. May the best of life be yours. LAURA A. JoNES,

MAROON AND

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We distinctly remember that upon entering this institution of higher learning in 1934 we were said to be the most boisterous and impolite class in high school. Our scholastic and athletic records help to prove that we are slightly past the hopeless stage. In our sophomore year, with the completion of the Hollow (remember our first night game ?) , we claimed two lettermen on the football team, Bud Porter and Casey Cummings. In soccer the lettermen were Wayne Bechdel, Bob Weiser, Henry Yeagley, Bud Warner, and Bill Reed (Manager). In basketball our outstanding. boys were again Porter and Cummings, plus Lawther and Bill Horner. Our class was represented in debating by Ruth Popp, Phyllis Watkins, Paul Heberling, and Raymond Smith, and in girls' basketball by Betty Fletcher, Janet Graham, and Betty Long. Our class officers were Anne Carruthers, Bud Porter, Ned Cummings, and Jim Stavely. While .we were in rnth grade, a high school dance band with great promise, the Nittany Nine, made its appearance. Last, but not least, we had our first experience with a class dance, the Soph Hop, which we all thought was pretty grand. Our junior year was a very eventful one for us. We had a great deal of fun and experience in the Junior Plays, in which about fifty members of the class took part. Our Junior Prom was done in Irish style, even to having a Junior Colleen, and was featured by the music of the Campus Owls. During this year of progress ( ?) we saw an important new organization enter our school, the Thespian Club, in which we had four charter members, Bob Burge, Bob Glenn, Betsy Edwards . and Bob Kapp. These people were invaluable in our stage productions. The A.A.U.W. Award was made to fourteen of our Juniors, Betty Pielemeier, Jananne Morse, Phyllis Watki~s. Ruth Popp, Robert Shigley, Ken White. Paul Heberling, Jim Lawther, Henry Yeagley, Janet Graham, Anne Carruthers, Robert Glenn, Henry Keller, and Edith Dengler. For class officers we elected Bud Porter, Anne Carruthers, Bill Reed, and Janet Graham.

Our lettermen in football, on our Bald Eagle Conference Championship team, were Cummings, Doty, Porter, Lawther, Arnold, Ralston, and Olewine. In basketball Cummings, Doty, and Porter came through. Laurence White, Stavely, John Struck, Weiser, Yeagley, Bechdel, Bender, Bob Kline, and Henry Keller (Manager), won letters in soccer. Trackmen were Porter, Olewine, Cummings, and Doty. Our outstanding tennis players were Yeagley, Bob Scheirer, Lawther, and Ken White. The letter winners in girls' basketball were B. Fletcher, Phyllis Hess, and B. Long. In golf we had four lettermen, Burge, Keller, Horner, and Max Merritt. In our final attempt at being seen and heard, we were far from unsuccessful. The Senior Alumni Dance, aided by the Nittany Nine, was a great financial success. Our Senior Play, Galahad Jones, also added a considerable amount to the treasury. The State High debating team won the Invitation Debate Tournament at Lock Haven. Highly responsible for this honor were seniors Ruth Popp and Jim Harter. Lettermen from the Senior class in football were Arnold, Barr, Burge, E. Cramer, Cummings (Co-captain), Porter (Co-captain), H. Ralston, C. Bloom, B. Muschlitz, Doty, L. Johnson, Lawther, and R. McNaul. In soccer we had twelve lettermen, Bechdel, Bender, Kapp, Spotts, Stavely, Keller, Struck, Warner, Weiser, K. White, L. White, and Yeagley (Captain) The 1940 edition of the Little Lion basketball team captured the Central State League basketball crown for the first time in the history of State High. Letter-winners were Cummings, L. White, Doty, Horner, Lawther, Porter, and Weiser (Manager). On the Girls' Honorary Basketball Varsity, our class claimed eight girb, who won emblems, Katherine Breon, Miriam Fortney, Fletcher, Graham, Hess, Long, Miriam Musser) and Helen Norris. We claimed outstanding instrumentalists, singers, artists, and journalists in our class'. These groups included Jim Harter, Charlie Zierdt, Jananne Morse, Edith Dengler, Bob Daugherty, Phyllis Watkins, Paul Heberling, and Ken White. Our class officers were Bud Porter, Anne Carruthers, Bob Glenn, and Gil Olewine. So, as we complete our last year in high school, we hope that our record may help to enlighten those who, in 1934, had a certain amount of doubt concerning our future.

Junior Cfuss History . In this, our third year in high school, it is well to review our past achievements. In our freshmen year we had twelve lettermen in 路football. In our sophomore year we were not only well-represented in athletics by Harold Griffith, Harry Breon, Dean Hartman, John 3arner, and Thurman Gates, but also in debating by Ruth Clyde, Marcia Gauger, Myrrel Rewbridge, and Mona Shibli; in music by R. Clyde, J. Garner, and M. Gauger; in scholarship by George Cohen, the P.T.A. Scholarship winner, and the winners of honorable mention, Lenys Blews and Gail Twichell; and in social activities by the Soph Hop committees, who helped make our first dance a financial success. Looking back on our junior year, we see a lon~ list of accomplishments. Lettermen in football were Harry Breon, Clayton Smith, Bob Brouse, Bob Hassett, and Harold Griffith . Lettermen in other sports were: Soccer-Hartman, Garner, and Fisher. Basketball-Breon, Hassett, Hartman, and Fisher. Wrestling-Anselm Wurfl, Kryder Mattern. TennisFisher, Howard Steidle. Golf-Jack Hafer, Jack Harper. Track-Hartman, Breon, Bill Marshall, and Joe Beach . Musicians who .represented State High at the District Orchestra were R. Clyde, P. Cobb, J. Garner, and M. Gauger, while R. Clyde and J. Garner both attended the State Orchestra. Junior members of the Forensic League were R. Clyde, M. Rewbridge, and M. Shibli, while Carolyn Champlin, G. Cohen, arid M. Gau!!er were prominent in . journalism. Other activities in ,vhich the Junior class was represented were the Junior Prom committees, dramatics, both the Junior Plays and the Operetta, and the Thespians, by Kathryn Metzger. The class officers were Frank. Hess, President; Ednaray Boyd,' Vice-President; Kathryn Metzger, Secretary, nnd Harold Griffith, Treasurer.

History of Season The State High soccer team won three games, lost three, and tied one. In the opening game of the season, on the Community Athletic Field, the soccerites vanquished a plucky Rebersburg eleven, 2-1, in a slow game. Traveling to Centre Hall on Sept. 29, the Serffmen played to an overtime tie, 0-0. The Little Lions played their best game of the season in defeating Boalsburg by a count of 4-0, but couldn 't get going against Millheim, the league champions, the next week, and lost, 3-0. The whole squad saw action against Logantown, in a contest which saw S.C.H.S. romp to its easiest victory in years, 7-0. The Little Lions hit a streak of hard luck in the final two tilts, losing to both Spring Mills and Hublersburg in extra periods, after leading throughout most of each game. Both games were lost by the score of 2-1.

History of' The Nittany Nine The Nittany Nine was organized in the fall of 1938 by a group of six "hep-cats" who played (?) a ~ew stock arrangements. A few months later they persuaded Olin Butt to become their leader and to write special arrangements of swing classics for them. Since that time the "ork" has rapidly increased in size and prominence. When the group was named the "Nittany Nine," the 路members were Phil White, Bob Kapp, Dick Humphreys, Charles Lauck, Martin Knutsen, Bob Gardner, Duane Doty, Anne Carruthers, and Bob Burge. How~ver, the only member cif the original "hep-cat" group who is still playing with the Nittany Nine is Bob Kapp. The average age of the boys in the orchestra is a little under 16. From the original six or eight arrangements, the "ork" has built up a library of over 100 tunes, of which they now p_lay over 40. In slightly over a year, the Nittany Nine has earned roughly $1000. The band has played engagements for the Centre Hills Country Club, the Nittany Country Club, the University Club, the Elks Club in Renovo, the Fallon Hotel in Lock Haven, Highland Hall (Hollidaysburg), Spring Mills High School, The Coliseum, the V.F.W., the American Legion, Sigma Delta Sorority, Tau Phi Delta, Autoport, and State College High School.
