DEDICAT'ION We seek from our teachers not just information, but sympathy and understanding. These qualities, ins pired by an inherent l ove for youth and for her profession, account for Mrs. Peacock 's success as a fine teacher. There is a magnetism in her charming persona lity which stimulates a desire to learn. We regard her with true admiration as the product, yet the cultivator, of refinement and culture. Appointed to our school as head of the English department in 1938, Mrs. P eacock initiated her activities by introducing the all-important college composition preparatory classes into the English curriculum. To meet our needs and abilities more adequately, she instituted the Cooperative English Placement Tests and improved the courses in which we were deficient. Through her effort, our study of vocabulary, spelling, and corpposition has been intensified. To guide our outside reading, Cumulative Reading Records and divers b ooklists have been provided. In addition to the educational reforms which sh e has inaug urated, a new element of incentive, energy, and purpose pervades the English classes, a spirit that makes literature and composition vital a nd absorbing. We attribute this spirit to Mrs. P eacock's p ersonal influence, as well as to h er str eamlining of the English curric ulum, for her ideas are ver y modern. She firmly believes in combining English and social studi es and anticipates the complete correl ation of all courses in to concentrated units of study of one main subject. At the present time, she is devoting much thought and effort to the problem of adjusting our curriculum along practical lines to meet specific war needs. Because Mrs. P eacock is our class sponsor, she h as had man y occasions to assist and guide us. Giving unselfishly of h er valuable time, she has contributed more than her share towards heightening our ambitions and spurring our enthusiasm. No one s upports our activities more fa ithfull y and spiritedly than she. An illustration of her sincere interest in her students is h er hobby of collecting their best poems and compositions. Mrs. Peacock, Lo show you h ow much you have meant to us as a class and as individuals, to thank you for your gracious generosity and yo ur active l oyalty to us, we the class of 194,2, are proud to dedicate our yearbook to you as a permanent gesture of our ad miration and respect.

SENIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Council was the introduction of the one-minute warning be!) to 1·educe tardiness. It has proved unquestionably successful. The Senior Class election code, recently adopted b y the Stud ent Council, is modeled after the election code of the Council. Nominations for officers in the future will be by petition rather than by preferential ballot, a nd voting will be controlled by the Senior Social Studies Department. Heretofore, the policies of the Student Council were governed by the Athletic Associa tion. Th is year, how· ever, due to its growing importance, the Student Council selected a comm ittee to draw up a special constitution for adoption next year. Realizing now more than ever the signifi ca nce of stud ent government, the home rooms responded with thoughtful discussions of school problems, led by their r espective Student Council representatives. By this student practice of democratic principle, the Student Council seeks to vitalize Democracy in the school.
During the past year the Student Council became in· creasingly representative of the opinions of the student body. With the inauguration of the officers, elected for the first time by the entire senior high school, the Student Council began the most significant year of its work. T en members of the Student Council attended the Sta le Student Council Convention a t the John Harris High School in Harrisburg, where they participated in discussions and panels to promote the efficient function· ing of Student Councils in P ennsylvania. The effects of these discussions were evident in the spirit with which our representatives advanced their work in the high sch ool. A committee was established by the Council to dupli· cate lost Athletic Association Tickets. Duplicate tickets are now awarded at the discretion of the committee after it has examin ed ea ch petition at its weekly meeting. The Information Desks in the hall, which aided stu· dents greatly in finding classes, were set up by Student Council and were later carried on by the Hall Patrol. One of the most effective measures of this year's

SENIORS
SENIUR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1942 feels, with pride, that each of its members has developed in character and intelligence through ou t his high school career, that each bas contribu ted to the general standing of the class toda y. We have tried Lo uphold the dignity and prestige of seniordorn. The Senior Class meetings, conducted by President Bob Beam, strictly according to parliamentary procedure, were an example of fine Senior conduct. Mrs. Peacock, our sponsor, has helped greatl y to promote initiative and integrity.
SENIOR CLASS OF~'ICERS D. Iless, M. Hussey, R. B enm, A. Dnugherty.
Throughout high sch ool, our class has sh own good judgment in the election of officers. In our Sophomore year we elec ted M. Hussey, M . J. Doerner , E. Yeagley, and D. Carruthers. As Juniors we chose M. Hussey, D. Hess, A. Daugherty, and E. Yeagley. This year we selected R. Beam, lVI. Hussey, D. Hess, and A. Daugherty. We have constantl y maintained a high standard of scholarship. The P. T . A. award in our Sophomore year was given to M. Glenn, P. Rife, J. Nesbitt, G. Arnold, and B. Anderson. The upper tenth receiving the A. A. U. W. award in our Junior year consisted of A. L. Decker, M. J. Doerner , M. Glenn, G. Arnold, B. Anderson, P . Rife, R. Shibli, J. Nesbitt, A. Musser, J. Moffitt, B. Merkle, H. Schoenwetter, and M. Parks. Class honors in our Jun ior year for the Book Week Essay and the American Legion Essay were taken by M. J. Doerner. The Junior Reading and Speaking prizes were won by M. J. Doerner, M. Tanner , and A. L. Decker. In that year, also, M. Tanner was elected to the National Forensic League fo r her participation in debating. Representing the class of '42 in the National Forensic League Contest this spring at the College wer e A. L. Decker in poetry reading, M. J. Doerner in Shakespear ian reading, and J. Moffitt in group discussion. Seniors atten ding the District Ch orus in the fall were J. Nesbitt, E. Shank, and M . J. Doerner; J ack Nesbitt was picked, also, for the All-State Chorus. R. Gardner and 0. Ridenour were selected for District Orchestra. The three big dances in our sch ool records were overwhelming successes. Using an elaborate under-sea scene as the decoration theme, we staked our budget on signing Jinm1y Leyden's band for the Soph Hop. O ur profit, $2.39, amazed the wh ole school. T he Camj5ffl Owls played for our Junior Prom, which turned out to be a circus, remember? We " cleaned up" $10.64 on that. Our most extravagant dance was the fall Senior Alumni , which featured the music of Walt J ames in the glamour of nigh t club atmosphere. The final figures showed a profit of $14.20, an all-time record for the school! As Soph omores, M. J. Doerner, 0 . Wurfl, A. L. Decker, J. Nesbitt, and K. Hosterman were cast in the operetta "Riding Down the Sky." Lack of staging facilities preven ted ou r h aving m ore operettas or Junior plays. However , this year we were determined to h ave both a Senior play and commen cement pageant in spite of difficulties. The Senior play comm ittee voted to present a mystery and finally selected "The Leavenworth Case," a thriller with two murders. Rehearsals began early in April. In the beginning of the year, the size and the efficiency of our faculty were increased by three new teachers: Miss Morris in English, Mr. Sl oughfy in mathematics and physics, and Mr. Dietz in industrial 8

arts. Mrs. Johnston was replaced in Mr. Hays' office by Miss Ha:ffiy. We regretted Mr. Wright's leaving us, and, at an assembly in his honor, gave him a Parker Pen and a joke book which he enjoyed hugely. Mrs. Weigle was appointed to replace him. Teachers and pupils alike were gratified by the completion of the greater part of the new addition, including the library, boys' locker room, Red Cross room, shop, commercial department, and the two art rooms. Last spring, for the first time, Student Council conducted the election of all-school officers. As the result of an extensive and successful " DCAM" campaign, seniors ]. Donahoe and D. Carruthers were elected president and vice president, respectively; M. Archer, secretary; and D. Mitchell, treasurer. Thanks to the hard work of Miss Burns and the assembly committee, our assemblies enjoyed a new success this year. All the home rooms co-operated and produced some very original programs. We particularly remember the novelty of the Special Assemblies held in the Nittany Theatre. The war has caused many changes and adjustments in our curriculum. The draft caught our loyal football coach, Mr. Adessa, who became an instructor in the Naval Reserve, and also our debate coach, Mr. McAfee. Our music radical, Mr. Sassaruan, after introducing a school jazz baud, a music theory class, and a music appreciation course, went into the army, leaving the school his radio-victrola combination. The most " all-out-for-defense" school project was the paper drive, which was begun by Mr. Hays and M. Doerner for the benefit of the Athletic Injury Fund and the Maroon and Gray. A baler was procured for the school, and the project was ca ught up by Miss Geuther and co-operative students. Early in March, Mr. Khanlian and his Junior Social Studies class embarked on a tremendous scheme to boost the success of the paper drive. The " Paper Capers," held April 10, which were athletic contests between the faculty and the students, required fifty pounds of paper for admission. The exteJ1Sive publicity, especially the thermometer to mark the amount of paper brought daily, spurred school interest and enthusiasm. Two of the highlights of the Capers were a wrestling match between Mr. Stoddart and Mr. Jamison, and the great "Somephoney" Orchestra. The crowning of the "Man of the Hour," elected by secret ballot, took place. He proved to be General Douglas MacArthur. Many students volunteernd to be air-raid wardens in the elementary schools in case of emergency, and, under the direction of Mr. Stoddart, several drills were conducted. An important Red Cross Council was formed in February to co-ordinate war preparation activities, with Miss Ruth Smith as adviser and M. Aikens as president. The council sponsored a school War Fund and drives for the collection of license plates, yarn, and tin foil. The group worked with Mr. Khanlian and a P . 0. D. class to establish a war information booth, headed by Mr. Corbett, in the center of town. Our graduation activities were advanced a week in adjustment to the college's revised war time schedule. This history is a proud symbol of a class's hard work and achievement. emulated by future Seniors.

IN MEMORIAM H obert Den ce was born in Dixon ville, Pa., Ma1·ch 29, 1925. '~'hen he moved t o St,i,te College, he became one of our best-liked classmntcs because of his never-failing good nature. H e was amoug tile first to join the Junior Drum and Bugle Corps w hen it was orga nized. T hrough Junior High Sch ool he played t ackle on the football team. On September 25, 1939, we were shocked to learn of his death, and our class all contributed 1noney to send flowers to hi.s funeral. Bob was huricrl in Ilakertu11, Pa., on September 27, 1939, but his menwry remains pe1·mnnently in our hearts.

FROM YOllR EDITOR Our aim tl,i s year was lo make the entire school Maroon-and- Gray-conscious. We sought to have our photo:;,;raphers conspicnous at every school event and used effect ive posters to aid J.1blicity.
In addition lo Senior Class popul arity poll s, the whole school participated in voli ng for their general preferences. The assistant editor sold individual Maroon and Gray pictmes throughout the school for the photographers. To enco1U'ag;e sales among the 11nderclassmen, we included a special Junior High section in the book and employed Ju nior Hip;h solicit ors. Alter awarding th e contract for a comparatively expensive yearbook to the Grit Publishing Company, we turned to a means of mi.si ng necessary lunds.
The lacu lty approved our sell ing
advertis ing s pace in th e back of the Maroon a nd Cray, a nd, accordingly, an efficient advertising manager, Dean Zong, was a1>poinl ed.
We also voted lo raise the price of the hook ten cents in
order Lo provide h ard covers in spite of rising prices. The biggest source of money came from the paper drive, begun in the fall a l .Mr. Hays' suggestion. Maroon a nd Gray mem bers worked bard to make the paper d rive "catch on" in the high school. Through the admirable efforts of Subscription Manager Charles Neyhart, sales this year soared above all previous r ecords. We wer e forced lo order 65 add itional copies. Outstanding on the staff of solicitors were Winifred Neyhart, who sold LJ.9 books, and H elene Beerman, who sold 32. T his year, we were especially concerned in making Lhe Maroon and Cray an inform al and natural representation o l school life. We presented the faculty for the first Lime informally to signify a closer co-operation a nd rnlationship between students a nd teachers.

JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Functioning exclusively in the J un ior High School, the Junior lligh Student Council was active this year as a social and executive body. IL sponsored a party al Christmas but generously decided to donate its money for a Spring party to service organizations. In November, it was host to the Convention of J unior High Student Councils of Central Pennsylvania. Our school was honored by the election of John Gri ffith as president of the con vention. Formed last year, t11is Council is rapidly coming into its own, having recently adopted its own constitution .

ATHLETICS
I
1
BOYS' SPORTS The 1941-42 athletic activities at State College High School featured a colorful group of individual stars rather than championship teams. Under Coach Joseph Adessa, in his second year as head coach, the Little Lion football team lost games Lo Bellefonte, Hollidaysburg, Clearfield, Williamsburg, J ersey Shore, Mor ris Township, Osceola Mills, Tyrone, and Philipsburg. A lack of offensive power prevented the Varsity football team from gaining any victOl'i es. Despite their unimpressive record, the gridders maintained a high morale throughout the season. This season marked the first since 1911 in which Stale College and Bellefonte met in two scheduled football contests. William Corman was placed on the first team of the Bald Eagle Conference all-stars. James Donahoe and Bernard Hoy were selected for the second team, Charles Kunes was given honorable mention. At the close of the regular season, Bernard Hoy was elected captain by his team-mates. Playing letters were awarded to: Seniors-B. Hoy, H. Zonge, .T. Donahoe, R. MoITell, C. Martin, C. Harpster, R . Kline. Juniors- E. West, W. Adams, C. Kunes, V. Johnson. Sophomores-R. Billett, J. Olewine, W. Keller, E. Weaver, E. Dugan, and Freshmen- W. Garrison, F . Lehman and R. Hann received managerial letters. The soccer team, coached by Mr. J ohn Serff, failed to meet pre-season expectation, with a record of one win, one tie, and five losses. Led by Co-captains R. Beam and R. Overholts, the hooters placed foLUth in the Centre County In terscholastic Soccer League. A victory over Boalsburg a nd a tie with Millheim represented the assets of the soccer team. Spring Mills, Hublersburg, Centre Hall, RebersbLU路g, and Reedsville took the measure of the Lillie Lions. K. Hosterman was named the outstanding player in the league this year. He was the lone State Coll ege High School representative on the mythical Centre County Interscholastic Soccer League first team. C. Swartz and R. Hosterman were named on the second team. R. Yeagley was given honorable mention on the squad . Soccer lettermen this year were: R. Beam, R. Overholts, R. Rice, K. Hosterman, K . L:vin, H. Sellers, C. Swartz, R. Hosterman, B. Hoy, R. Yeagley, and R. Rice. H. Sellers and C. Swartz were elected co-captains for next year's soccer Learn; R. Nicholas was named manager. After an excellent beginning in Central State League competition, the State College High School Varsity Basketball Team slu mped towards the end of the season to finish with a .4,67 average for fifteen games. Although they had one of the best defensive r ecords, Coach Philip Armstrong'~ cagers placed third in final Central State League standings. Double victories over Bellefonte and Renovo marked the otherwise mediocre season. The foul-shooting Learn, consisting of D. Carruthers, C. Z undel, R. l\forrell, R. Kistler, a nd R. Hosterman, placed third in the Foul Shooting Tournament al the annual Basketball Clinic held al the College. C. Zundel, D. Carruther s, P. Daugherty, a nd R. Hosterman were placed on the mythical league all-star squad selected by the coaches at the close of the season. L eLLermen were: Seniors P. Daugherty, D. Carruthers, C. Zundel, R. Morrell, C. Martin, K. Hosterman, and A. KersteLLer, and Junior R. Hosterman. The Junior Varsity basketball team enjoyed a fair season, winning five contests and losing five. Jay Vees who were awarded numerals were: J. Griffith, T. Crow, J. Olewine, M. White, J. Porter, D. M itchell, and W. Gray. The Junior Class team, consisting of Paul Margolf, Clark Friese, Dan Stearns, Jack Storch, Bill Hickey, won the class basketball championship. The Senior team was second, followed by the Sophomore quintet. The Little Lion w1路estling team, under the tutelage of Mr. Roy J amison and Mr. Charles Stoddart, won two dual meets and lost four. Injuries and sickness prevented the grapplers from b ettering last season's record. The State College matmen showed surprising strength in the D uBois and Muncy meets.

GIRLS' SPORTS The Girls' Athletic Board of Control, whose purpose is to manage girls' sports, consists of seventeen girls elected by girls owning A. A. tickets. Each year new girls are elected Lo replace the graduating members; this year's new members are V. Minshall, R. McCord, L. Sh irk, M. L. Frost, S. Cavcny, and V. Higgins. Meetings are held weekly with C. Taylor presiding and Miss Cairns acting a s faculty adviser. Other officers ar e : V. Minshall, Vice President; R . McCord, Secretary; G. S nyder, Treasurer. Homeroom basketball competition was popular this year, 64 g irls participating. Team D, a sophomore homeroom, defeated even Junior s and Senior s to walk off with the championship. In class basketball, the Seniors copped the title vigorously edging out the J uniors and Sophomores. Approximately fifty girls entered in the class basketball tournament. The Girls' Honorary Basketball Varsity is the highest ranking team of all girls' sports at S tale College Hi gh School. At the close of the basketball season, eighteen gi1·ls are elected to the squad on th e basis of their sportsmanship, playing ability, attitude, and participation in the class and homeroom tournaments. Archery was one of the foremost sports of the season, judging by its popularity. After school the Athletic Field was occupied by almost fifty archers placed according to ability in either the beginners' class or the advanced group. The archery season lasted for eight weeks.
In badminton this year, eighteen girls competed for the singles and doubles crown. In the doubles com petition, M. Lawther and P. Norris emerged victorious. The Dux Club was the scene of the Saturday morning meetings of the bowling club. High scorer proved to be J. Banks, who posted 139. H. Schoenweller served as president, A. H . Parkinson as vice president of the club.

Twenty hockey enthusiasts, this yea1·, for the first time, used the six-man hockey setup in place of the unusual eleven-man team. The new system has recently been introd uced in this part of the state; but, as yet, few other high schools have ventured to try it.
The tumbling Learn has had but one chance during t he past year to display their talent. Of the twenty part1c1pants, from the Junior High School, a selected twelve were c hosen to par take in this tumbling show, which proved to be a spectacular part of the Paper Capers. Four small teams completed the volleyball league, teams lOA and 12A taking top honors. The Sophomores were well represented with two teams, while the Juniors and Sen iors had one team each.

The all eged "policy" of the Piper has changed very little since last year, at which time the plan of page-editorship went into effect. Under this system each editor is entirely responsible for the news and repor ters of his page. In the case of the Piper, page one contains straight news of the senior high school; p age two, feature material ; page three, senior high sports, and page four, junior high news and feature. Working under the assumption that no one in State High would possibly stoop Lo the reading of an editorial, the editor has attempted to either disguise or entirely omit them. In their place have been Letters to the Editor, polls, and other such contributions.
It has been the belief of the r etiring staff that picturns add much to the appeal and a ppearance of the paper. Hither tofor e in the history of the Piper , cuts have been considered too expensive Lo be more than infrequent luxuries. But this year, by changi ng th e metal of the cut a nd having student photographers take the original pictures, the cost has been so reduced tha t illustrations often adorn the pages of this year's Pipers. This year, more than ever before, the P iper is a medium for the transmission of ideas and plans to the school. For the first p art of the year, a Student Council officer wrote the Hi Lites column, in which items may he written semi-feature style, and still appear on page one as news. The past few issues of the Piper have featured new Hi Lites writers who initiated new views and styles through this column. Since the Piper is merely a four-column paper, in national competition it usually is relatively low, being too large to be classified with mimeographed sheets and too small to rate with the la rger papers of larger hi gh schools. The staff, however, will swallow all despair at not winning conference prizes if the Piper is, as it is believed to be, of service to the school it r epresents.

THE CLUB PROGPtAM Under the gener;l direction of Mrs. Philip Rice, a new acl ivity program was inaugurated this year. One hour every Thursday and Friday morning was given over to stud ent a ctivities such as clubs, assemblies, home room or class meetings, student coun cil or other committee meetings. Formerly, there had been only Service clubs open lo I he students. Under the new program, 90% of the student. body was enrolled in the twenty-five clubs, all of which met during school hours. Fifteen of these cluhs were open to the Senior High students, and ten were open to the Junior High students. Ten members were essential for the organization of any one club. Each c lub foBowcd its own program for the year, which consisted of outside speakers, movies, or individual projects. The Red Cross Club, working under the Red Cross council, deserves r ecognition for its work. The Pan MRS. RI OE American Club was fortunate in having Dean St.eidle, from the P ennsylvania State College, speak on his trip to Latin America. Mr. Sherman Lutz, local aviator, assisted the sponsor of the Aviation Club. A Guidance Committee, consisting of three faculty members, Miss lVIiles, Mrs. Walson, and Mr. Morning, attempted to help the students in their acljustment to the school program a ssisting them with schedule changes, helping them when they were unhappy in their su rroundings, and discussing with them such problems a s grade failures, tardiness, and absences. Another Jlhase of this committee's work was to plan Home Room programs which included general discussion periods to get the students better acquainted with student government a nd indi vidual problems. From time to time during the year, the Student Council sponsored all-school a ssemblies which, for the year 1941-42, included t he following speakers: E. Ross Allen, an<l his tropical makes; William B. Holmes, who showed the fascinating film, "Europe Sunnyside Up"; B. Ferrier, famous canoeist; and " Tad" J ones, who demonstrated gyroscopes.

THE NATIONAL THESPIANS The Thespians this year held two monthly meetings, one a business meeting and the other a program of entertainment. At the October program, M. Tanner presented a one-act play, "Wish You Were Here." On November 25, the six Senior Thespians initiated another senior a nd eleven junior s into the club. That month, after a public perfo rmance of three one-acts, "Antic Spring," " Elmer Cleans Up," and " Fish Cure," the treasury showed a profit of $17.61. The first all-Thespian dance in the high school's history was held on December 27, at a fraternity house, with the music of The High School Jazz Band. On the evening of February 25, after an informal afternoon initiation, seven new Thespians were received into the club at a formal ceremony which celebrated Troupe 'l. he lnitlntious nre tough. l 75's third birthday.

THE JUNIOR PLAYS The Junior Plays, which were held January 30, 1942, were the first Lo be presented by the Juniors for several yea rs. Through the courtesy of the College, they were able to present the plays in the Little Theatr e. The four plays given were: "Dots and Dashes," a comedy; "Trial by Moonlight," a comedy; " The Dictator Visits His Mother," a drama ; and " A Recipe for Love," a comedy. ·The plays were under the direction of Miss Burns, assisted by student directors M. Tanner, A. L. Decker, J. Moffitt, and lVL J. Doerner.
An unusually high profit of $27 was cleared in this venture due to the paid advertisements the Juniors used on their play-
bill. "The Dictator Visits His Mother " was taken to the Shippensburg State Teachers' College where it was highly approved by the judges.
