DEDICATION Fighting in the battle for a just and durable peace are these young soldiers and sailors, our classmates. They carry with them wherever they may be the undying spirit that is America. These brave fighters of Uncle Sam's have given up their accustomed way of life for a more rigid routine of living, and before the struggle is over many others will join them. Donald Hutchison has not only relinquished his normal living routine, but he has given up life itself so that the rest of us may live in peace and security. For their evt:;rlasting courage, ,ve, the class of '43, take pride in dedicating our yearbook to our classmates in the armed service.

FOREWORD VVe, the staff, realize that this book cannot be as annuals of former years because of the times. "'Ve 路want to give to the senior class and their fell ow underclassmen a record of the school year 1942-1943, when the senior class, along with other students the country over, awoke to the added 1uties, responsibilities, and services that the young people of the country must aclrnow ledge during war. VVhen you pick up this book several years from now, we hope it will recall your high school activities: the sports, classes, dances, and all other memories that remind you of State College High School in 1943.

Senior High Student Council J. Griflith, Treasurer; S . Etters, Secretnry; i\I. Archer, Vice President; E. Kunrr, President.
During the past term, the Student Council "rolled up its shirtsleeves and started to function."
Concession permit regulations were set up by a committee, and in that way each event was legally organized and orderly.
To keep the school in order during classes, the governing body took over the Information Desks. Turning off the hall lights and checking on pass slips were the two main duties of the hall-patrollers.
Student Council is, also, patriotic-minded. It recognized the need of scrap metal; the cannons in front of the Frazier Street school were removed by Student Council members. In case anyone lost an Athletic Asociation Ticket, he would receive a duplicate upon payment of thirty cents. Also, anyone who left at the encl of the first semester was given seventy cents if he had a ticket for the whole year.
So as to make our school more attractive, Student Council established a conservation and beautification program. This group managed to grow some grass, and, because of priorities, was able to impress the fact that the students should take care of the building.
By accomplishing such acts, Student Council contributed to the betterment of our high school.

Senior Class History

MR.
STODDART'S complexion darkened gradually from a healthy tinge
to a deep scarlet as girls, and more girls poured into his room. Desperately, he made a final survey of his first-day class, only to be confronted with a horde of seventh grade females. Ah, yes.
That was back in the good old days of 1937. Remember how Mr.
Morning lectured to the girls on the respective merits of giggling and all-girl classes?
That was the year when we attended our first Junior High Party,
and since the "dumb" boys couldn't ( or wouldn't) dance, the girls stumbled over the floor together. In eighth grade, a few of the boys astonished us by wearing long trousers, and some of the more successful "papa wheedlers" sported silk hose at Sunday School.
Our mentors told us emphatically that we were obviously the most
obnoxious class that had ever "crashed the gates."
Some of ns smiled myster-
iously and felt complimented, a few of our more precocious colleagues were outraged, but most of us ~-eveled in our ignorance and have been reveling ever since.
Thus, we had already developed onr notorious sense of hnmor.
We soon found ourselves shoved into ninth grade and, realizing our status, we immediately adopted a supercilious attitude which was justified by the formidable athletic contributions made by Jack Riegal, Chuck Noll, Joe :Merritt, Bill Parker, Ed Hoover, Eddie vVest, Bill Hickey, Robert Kistler, Jack Storch, Charlie Kunes, Bill Adams, Dale Koon, Fred Metzger, Harold Green, Malcolm ,vhite, Bill Graffius, and Clark Friese. That year, everyone who could hop on one foot while disjointing the other was distinguished by the appellation, "jitterbug." 10
Every girl in our class
tried out for cheerleading and five experts, Mardy Humphreys, Ethel Van Tine, Jean Thurston, 路W innie Neyhart, and Marjorie Triebold were chosen. Our class had the honor of deleting the deficit of the sophomore class by turning out wholeheartedly for the Soph Hop. On entering high school, we immediately dropped our superior attitude and again were forced into obeisance.
Half of our school building was de-
molished during the second semester; we often opened doors only to find the "little man who wasn't there."
"Yuhudi" came into "existence" as did "his
sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts."
:Mr. Roos evelt gained his third term
despite the fact that State High's election r es ults were unfavorable.
,Vinnie
Neyhart was elected Belle of the Ball at the Soph Hop. The class officers were Fred Metzger, President; Dave Kapp, vice president; ,Vinnie Neyhart, secretary; and Bill Graffius, treasurer. Letter winners that year "ivere Charlie Kunes, Dale Koon, Bill Adams, and Dave Ballenger. To us as juniors, school was as usual.
Chewing erasers, slamming doors; _
cramming, and cribbing filled our weeks while jaunts to Skytop, Autoport, or Bellefonte entertained us over the weekends. Then came Pearl Harbor and ,var.
Remember how we l:rnghed?
Per-
haps you thought of the hyperbole which "Grovie" had popularized a year ago, "'Vhat about the Japanese Navy?" Anyhow, we were temporarily shocked, but soon we resumed our prosaic routine. ,v e felt the first impact of war when Carl "Uncle Dudley" Sassaman and Coach Joe "Jeep" Adessa left to serve in the armed forces.
The influence of the ,var was also evident in the scene of
the Junior Prom which was an army camp.
Bubbles Davey reigned as Soldiers'
Sweetheart. As seniors, we showed a growing awareness of man's responsibility to man. ,vith that outlook we began making plans for the peace. ,~, e felt that, since it was we who would win the war, we had both th e right and responsibility to win the peace.
,ve exchanged ideas with various organizations of the community. With
the passing and enforcement of the 18-19-yea r-old draft bill, we had roused from our surrealistic stupor. vVe demanded action. ,ve still had fun, however. exodus, was "Gotta nickle?
The theme song of Pero Prep., before the
Heads, Match Yuh!"
A few of our more con-
scientious formed the "Guidance Committee for Teachers."
This group was
headed by a mysterious personage, "The Boss," and its salute was a modification of the Nazi salute accompanied by "Heil Boss." Recognizing the challenge of the air, we seniors chose "'Vings" as our commencement theme . ,ve explored th e wings of war, wings of peace, wings of song, wings of art, wings of literature, but most impressive of all was wings of youth, the traditional ceremony through which we evolved from the youth of tomorrow into the youth of today.

Class Will ·we, the members of the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-three of the State College High School, being sound ( ?) in mind, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament.
To the music department, Phyllis and Tommy leave their recording of their duet "A heart that's true, there are such things . . ." Frank Fagan also donates his famous record entitled "Ciri-biri-bin." This one is to be used infrequently and with great care. "Nini" Parkinson, and Betty Myers leave their "brilliance" to Audrey Rewbridge, Lois Green, and Delores Ferguson. After much coaxing, Charlie Kunes finally agreed to leave part of his ability to get into trouble to Jerry Gearha.rt. To Dot Corman, Mary Ellen Gilligan leaves the title of being the cutest girl in the commercial department. To the school board we give our thanks for the new auditorium in which we gave our Senior Play; to the ,Junior Class we leave the hope that they may give their Senior Play in the new auditorium with scenery; to the Sophomore Class we leave the hope that they may give their Senior Play in the auditorium, with scenery and a curtain; to the Freshman Class we leave the hope that they may give their Senior Play in the auditorium, with scenery, a curtain, and CHAIRS. In witness whereof, we, the departing class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-three, have to this, our last will and testament, afllxed and set our hands and seal. Signed, THE SENIOR CLASS.
To Claire Robinson, Betty Nuebling leaves a few unused tardy slips with the sincere hope that the supply will prove ample. To Rich Yeagley, Dave Doan leaves a practically unused chemistry book. Included with the book is a list of ninety-ni;1e ways to blow up a chem lab. Don Krebs leaves the honor of being State High's best drummer to Don Storch. Charlie Swartz was asked to leave his zoot suit to Joe Doerner but decided he couldn't possibly get along without it. '.Ve leave the accelerated program to Mrs. Peacock. To all the feminine would-be-mathematiciai1S of the Junior Class, ~Vinifred Neyhart, "Bubbles" Davey, and Nancy Ruef leave their front row seats in J\fr. "'illiams' room. To Gloria Howland, we leave some of Donna McClintock's poise, to be taken in small doses after each meal. · Jean Thurston leaves a complete set of chemistry crib notes and a "petit cheveau" to the highest bidder. Bob Kistler leaves the honor of being the greatest attraction on the basketball team to Bill Gray.

I attended the opening night of Tussc1 and Koon's new exclusive Broadway Club. featuring a chorus line with 1Vinifred Neyhart, Jane "'atson, Jean Thurston, Virginia Shoemaker, Phyllis Lang, and Blanche Gearhart. The vocal duet bl' Edinger and Adams was quite beautiful and they receiYed bids from the Metropolitan by telegram before the)' had finished .

John Henri' Storch, a prosperous farmer in Clearfield Count)', and (ironically) the best corn planter in the count)', raised the biggest pumpkin seen in these parts for a long time. It had a. diameter of four feet, nnd according to 11 ,Viznrd" Kapp, a traveling salesmnn, who hnppened nearby, its total area was about fifty-one square feet. A riot ensued when Kapp, in his own offhand way, referred to Fanner Storch as a "pumpkin bumkin." JANUARY,

I came upon Ivan Dodd selling a new product, "Pepposeltzer," that he invented recently, and he was doing a booming business on the corner of College Avenue and Allen Iloulcvnrcl until a rh·a1 James Johnston, clrew the crowd to the opposite corner with his promises of quicker Dr." Johnston, I results with Dr. Johnston's Snake Oil." understand, obtains his remedy from the Hickey Snake Fann located two miles out of Shingletown.

ArnrL, 1955 There was quite a bit of excitement in the city today. The firm of Rea, Derick, & Sheehe was doing its usual rush business at noon when some of the notorious Hunter mob
22
pulled a daring daylight job. From what I gather, "B"abyface11 Knarr and Prettyboy Kistler were standing guard outside while "Desperate Don" Krebs entered and deposited tue contents of the main cash drawer in a burlap sack. He had a friendly chat with Cashier Ph.rkinson until Patrolman MacDonald rushed in, when he made a spectacular exit with the rest of the gang in a Packard stolen from tlie noted actress, Donna La Clinteauc. According to Chief Hider, of the city force, the desperadoes are believed to be hiding with a. cohort, "Hermit Kermit1' Peters in the Pine Grove 1\·Iountains. Inspector Stearns promises speedy apprehension of the whole gang, but I personally don't think they wi11 ever serve any time because they are known to be on friendly terms with the smartest la W)'er in the East, "LOQJJhole" Lehman. 11
The Barto, Bohn, ancl Brouse Bingo stand clid a good business when the local chapter of \VEEF's ("'omen's Everyday Entertainment Federation) held their weekly 1neeting there. i\Ianager 'Campbell reports that Phyllis Deal, Eveli•n Eder, Susan Houser 1 llarbara Jackson, and Ruth l\fartin all ,von tedcli• bears. I went to Springer's Op 1r)r House yesterday and saw Ilnllerina Nuebling do the Swan Dance. (It swan in a milJion !) Everything was running smoothly until the ceiling fell in and injured about 75 people. Thei• were all taken to the Khanlian Memorial Hospital (remember how he campnigned for one?) and will all recovel"i according to Chief Surgeon Frank Ji'agan, who performed nearly 17 operations in the space of two hours, losing only one pair of forceps which later turned up in Nancl' Ruef s stomach. Nurse Knepp told me this noon that the valuable forceps are safe now, though, and there is no cause for alarm. InciclentalJl', I hear that Detty Jane Krumrine, head nurse, recently welcomed some new additions to the staff, among them being the Schilling twins, Dorothv South, Rachael Ross, Esther Lightner, Jane i\liller, and Freda Lockhart. ·

Hugh Sellers was elected mayor on the Prohibition Ticket last September and was inaugurated Jnst week. He immediately hired Louise Shirk, Aileen Yingling, Betty Gummo, and Pauline "'illiams as secretaries and appointed a number of people to offices in the citi• government. Ronald Hann is now municipal signpainter; Theodore Crow, who invented the zipper plaster cast for animals, is city dogcatcher and veterinarian; Clark Friese is head of the new Sanitation Corps, but will continue his duties as assistant city engineer under "'illis Poorman. Engineer Friese received public commendation recently for heroism beyond the call of dutv when he retrieved two tennis balls from a sewer they wei:e stopping up. SEP'l'EMllER,

Trainer s dog, when the condition suddenllr jumped from me to the clog. A legal adviser, :M arjorie Tyson, informed me that I can be sued by the dog's owner unless I prove that the flea trainer, i\'1cCord, knew nothing of Trainer's dog at the time of the first performance, which I attended. However, if Trainer's clog's fleas return to their trainer before Trainer sues me, I can sue the trainer before being sued by Trainer, unless the fleas return to me upon which case I can sue Trainer and the trainer. If the fleas stav on the dog, Trainer can sue the trainer and me, but ·1 think the trainer will get them from Trainer or the dog somehow.

I attended a lecture given by Eleanor Armstrong Rockey, local W. C. T. U. leader. On the way home, I got a. lift in one of Barr's taxis and Driver Graffius told me it wouldn't cost a cent. I stopped to watch a spectacular fire, though, and didn't get far. It seems that the Zeller Casket Works, Inc. ("The bier you love to touch") was set on fire by a member of a rival company, Noel, Inc. It is the end, I understand, of a long economic war between the two firms. Firewomen (yes, they have them now) :Mary Louise Davey, Bett)r Dunkel 1 Anna Gearhart, Betty :Myers, Irene Illingworth, Gladys Gummo, and Mary Ellen Gilligan put the conflagration out under the able leadership of Chief 11la1y Margaret Humphreys. Investigators Phyllis Harter and Grace Hoover, of the Egolf Futile Fire Insurance Co., were right on the job1 and Firebug Fred Leathers was caught by Officer Loesch, but acquitted b)r Judge Kunes because, in the Judge's own words, "I am in favor of cremation, anyway."

I heard a thrilling fight tonight between Welterweight ucyclone Ruhl and Djmatrok Zideswipe Zdinscrywlodii, the Finnish contender for the title, but Huh! knocked -him out in the 28th round.

Moreover, color, which is appropriate to the theme, has been introduced for the first time in a MAROON AND GnAY. "\Ve thought the victory theme particularly significant at this time and for the future \he most fitting memory of the atmosphere of our high school during our senior year. In keeping with the theme and the times, the class of •,is voted to dedicate their annual to their classmates in the service. service.
A page was also planned to honor our teachers who are in the
Gift copies are being sent to the boys to whom the book is dedicated as well as to
their former teachers who now fight beside them.
Our thoughts will go out to them often
during our commencement activities; perhaps they will share with us, through their books, some of the final cherished associations of the class of ''1·$. The production of this yearbook has been the work of a faithful group who have assumed not only their own duties with responsibility but shared and co-operated in each others problems. It is with no small pride that the Staff of the MAnooN AND GnAY of •,i3 offers the fruits
of its labors to their classmates and to the student body of which it will soon no longer be a part. Sincerely, "\VINNIE NEYHAnT, Editor.
Jfn ;i!Memoriam In our junior year we were shocked to hear that Dick Hoy had been killed on his way to his favorite sport, roller skating.
Dick lived with his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Hoy, in Millbrook, and he was on his way to the rink nearby when the accident happened. Dick was born Octobe_r IO, 192,b, in Buffalo, New York.
He was killed on October IO, 1941, his seven-
teenth birthday, but his memory is still in our hearts.

The soccer team had a fair sea son, winning two games, tying one, and losing two. The scores were 2-1, 2-1, 0-0, 0 - 1, and 0 - 2.
The 194,2-3 basketball team had one of its least successful seasons in the win column for several years, winning but four games, while losing thirteen.
However,
only two of the previous year's squadmen were back, and thus the team was greatly handicapped by inexperience and lack of r eplacements .
Nevertheless, most of the
games were rather closely contested, especi ally in the Central Sta te L eague, where the M a roonmen finished fifth with a record of three and seven.
State's defensive
r ecord, as usual, was on e of th e best in the leagu es as they allowed their opponents only 27 .6 points per game .

Although th e high school wrestling team won only one of its fi ve dual meets, several good wrestlers we re on the team.
At the districts this year, State earned
more team points than it ever had before.
Roger Johnson, State's 120 pound man,
placed first in his weight at the Districts, held at Tyrone.
Three other State boys,
Tom Corman, Jim Johnston, and I van 1viyers, took seconds at the meet. At the State meet, held at th e College, Roger Johnson dropped a close match to Halas of Haverford in th e preliminaries. 30

Girls' Sp~rts The State Hi girls came through with flying colors in sports this year. The advance in girls' sports is evident as we look back four years and find that only three girls' sports were offered then, while this year there were nine to choose from. The · percentage of student participants has also jumped over the same period of time. This year fifty-five per cent of the girls en rolled in school took p a rt, as compared to only ten per cent four years ago. Two hundred seventy-five participants enrolled in girls' sports this year.

Miss Cairns became a member of our faculty just five yea rs ago, and it is clue to her efforts that the advance in girls' sports has been accomplished .
The Girls' Athletic Iloard of Control, whose purpose for the past years has been to better all girls' sport activities in State Hi, was headed this year by Ruth McCord, President; Mary L. Davey, Vice-Presid ent; Gloria Snyder, Secretary; Shirley Iletts, Treasurer; and Miss Caims, faculty adviser.
Many exciting home room basketball games were played this year. The last game was a play-off between the junior teams B and C, with the C team winning 8-7. The C team was made up of girls from home rooms 220 and 120. This team took the honors this year and also won the Home Room Championship last year. The Class Championship was won by the Juniors. The Sophomores came in second and the Seniors last. The G. A. C. grade managers were Ethel VanTine, 12th; Suzanne Caveny, 11th; Edith McClintock, 10th. Pt. Wins T-ies Losses Tot.

The six man hockey set up was used again this year by the hockey tearns. Although th e teams did not play any outside schools, they had a lot of fun and practice among themselves. Marcly Humphreys and Suzanne Cav_eny proved themselves outstanding as sportswomen on the hockey_field. This year has been the most successful year in girls' sports in the history of State Hi. All the girls participated willingly and played with whole-hearted fairness. 35

High School Band Having played for all of the major sports events of the year, in addition to giving extra concerts, the high school band, under th e direction of Mr. Smith, was considerably more active this yea r than in previous years.
Four of th e band membe rs,
J. Storch, D. Kapp, J. Bissey, and R. :Manning, attended the all-state band at Farrell, Pennsylvania, in January. At the start of the second semeste r, military ratings were issued to band members for the first time at State High .
Although the ratings were issued after the
football season, it is hoped that those receiving ratings next year may help in preparing the band for its weekly routines on the football fi eld. Those members who received their ra tings this year are as follows: Student leader, J. Storch; ;Librarian, R. Simonds ; First Sergea nt, D. Kapp; S ergeants, P. Grove, R. Manning, G. Valmont, J.

A Cappella Choir The A Cappella Choir was larger this year than it had been for several years, and they used songs that required a large choir. A Cappella acted as the choir for the Lenten services of the high school, and they also sang a selection as the special music for the last service. During Youth :Month the choir sang for the Rotary and they received a scroll from the Ro-tary for their services to the school and the town. In the spring the choir gave their first large concert. The choir was enlarged by alumni and guests.
Guest musicians played and sang special numbers for the con-
cert, and the choir sang four groups of songs. The first group consisted of three religious selections, "Now Let All the Heavens Adore Thee," "Praise the Lord," and "Alleluia." The second group was two English folk songs, "The Keys of :My Heart" and "Eriskay Love Lilt."
The third group was of secular American folk songs,
"IVfexican Serenade," "Three :More Locks Ahead," and "He's Gone Away."
The
fourth group was composed of three larger numbers, "Goel of All Nature," "Emitte Spiritum Tuum," and "Chorale for Our Country ." The A Cappella choir again sang for the baccalaureate service and they accompanied the seniors in their graduation pageant.
Senior High Piper For several years the Piper has been 11mler a plan of page-editorship.
Under this sys-
tem each editor is entirely responsible for the news and reporters of his page.
Page one of
the Piper contains straight news of the senior high school; page two, feature material; page three, senior high sports; pag路e four, junior high news and features. Unlike the Piper staffs of previous years, the staff this year stated and published a definite Piper Policy.
The policy for the year was as follows:
1. To give the students of State High a preview of events and news, not just a record. 2. To run an editorial, written by some member of the school, that is apropos to the time. 3. To inform the students of Student Council affairs by running a regular column on the second page. 4,. To confine all social news to the second page. Hi-Lites was a regular column this year, as was Lionesses, the girls' sports column, and both had regular writers. Since the Piper is merely a four-column paper, it ranks relatively. low in national competition, for it is too large to be classified with the mimeographed papers and too small to be ranked with the larger papers from the larger schools.
Despite this fact, the staff 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 represents.

The National Thespians The Thespians started their year by giving a fall show, "Elmer and the Lovebug" and giving the profits to the Stage Door Canteen.
They put on "Junket for the
J unkman" as another contribution to the war effort, and they wrote to their boys in the service. Many Thespians directed and played in the Varsity Show as well as helping dedicate the new auditorium with a Christmas pagea nt and taking leading parts in assemblies. Then came the senior play, "Growing Pains," which was given in the new auditorium a'n d which netted a profit over th e usual few dollars. An informal initiation was held during a basketball game after which a mixer was sponsored by the Thespians.
They had two formal initiations during the year
and their banquet at the end of the year.
,v
A tea for the teachers and class officers was given by the Thespians on th e ednesday before Easter. The junior Thespians acted in the four one act junior plays, "'Vherefore Art
Thou," "Strange Road," "Getting Pinned," -"Laundry Mark," and the senior members helped direct them . The senior Thespians did their swan song when they took part in their own commencement, leaving the juniors to carry on.

The Junior Red Cross This school year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the Junior Red Cross . The organization has observed the occasion by launching a program well filled with study classes and services.
The study classes prepare us for future work,
and the services give us an opportunity to help in the war effort at the present time. The Junior Red Ci路oss, including the entire student body, is headed by the Junior Red Cross Council.
This body consists of no more than twenty volunteer members, at
least one representative from each senior high home room.
The purpose of this or-
ganization is to co-ordinate all J unio1' Red Cross activities and to formulate policies for carrying on the -i1,ork of the entire organization.
Each membe r of the council
serves as a reporter to keep his home room informed about the work of the council and to keep the council informed about the service of which he is the chairman. w路e Sa.ve by buying war bonds and stamps . 路w e Serve by training in study classes and by assisting in various war activities.
Vle Conserve by assisting in the
community canning project and by buying only those articles which are necessary to carry on our Junior Reel Cross
