* FOREWORD J)UBLISHING

a yearbook is a great and inspiring task in

normal times, but in war time the job is even greater.

We,

of the staff, have tried to make our yearbook something tangible to carry through life along with the intangible memories of our high school career.

AND GRAY

When ,ve pick up this

MAROON

years from now, it will perhaps bring to mind the

favorite expression of some teacher or classmate, start you to wondering whatever became of the fellow with the radical viewpoint, or remind you of the time in chemistry class that you felt you had discovered a new process for making synthetic rubber.

As we have striven for many things in this period of turmoil, so we must keep striving so that those who should be with us will not feel that they are carrying the whole burden, and that when they read this

MAROON AND GRAY

they will

feel proud of their class as we, just graduating, also do. The job now goes to you, undergraduates.

"Carry On!"

*

We graduates say,

*

DEDICATION WE have chosen to dedicate this year's

MAROON AND GRAY

to Harry Clair Smith in appreciation of his faith in us as a class. During our high school career we have been proud of our band and orchestra and of his affiliation 'with them. In this small way 路we would like to leave a permanent token of our friendship with "Smitty" as a teacher.

*

The

Fac_u lty

Theirs were the hands that guided us.

Theirs were the tongues that chided us.

We leave them now with sad regret to either remember or forget.

Senior Class History .

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS 1

G][' HE CLASS OF '44 has behind it a record upon which we may look with both pride and misgiving.

Everyone who knows that record understands why we

are proud of it, and considers us justified in our pride. As to the misgivingswell, that is becoming more understandable every day, no doubt.

We have been consistently well represented in all manner of sports. During our first year in Junior High, most of the male members of the class had the questionable genius to try for the football team, in order to see all the games free of charge. Using the above scheme, Jack Olewine, Jack Dux, Dick Pearce, and Dave Mitchell managed to escape the admission fee for the basketball games.

The following year, a few kind fathers, apparently not wanting their sons to work so strenuously just to see a ball game, saw fit to increase their allowances, and thus our representation in football fell markedly.

The basketball team

fared not so well, and these unfortunate lads were again forced to play for their admission.

For some unknown reason, wrestling caught our fancy, and we

contributed quite a few boys to the squad.

Ninth grade saw us all turning out for the Freshman Frolic, where we got to know each other for the first time, since only freshmen were admitted.

This

year, too, we experimented with something known as a correlated course, but which was really just a cross between English and social studies. We expanded our sports program to include soccer, track, tennis, and baseball. Jack Olewine 12

thrust fame upon us by becoming high scorer in the basketball league.

Time

hung upon the hands of some of the lasses this year, and they began to take music lessons.

The upshot of it all was that Mary Anderson, Helene Beerman,

and Joan Bissey participated in the music festival at Mt. Union. We began to feel slightly autonomous when we were represented in a mild form of student government.

Our sophomore year was extremely sporting, with just enough music thrown in to keep it from developing into a brawl.

Football still seemed to hold our

attention, with many sophomores filling the benches, and Jack Olewine finally satisfied his fans by making his debut on the team.

Home room basketball (Yea, George, it was played in the gym) was played with vim and ~ixens, the winning combination being recruited from Room No. 220. Quite a few soccer fiends won their letters and Ralph Hosterman was a lady-thriller on the varsity basketball team, while Jack Olewine and Dave Mitchell fretted out the season among the

Jayvees. Joan Bissey and Mary

Anderson acconwanied each other to the District Orchestra Meet at Clearfield, and Mary later honored us by representing the school. in the All-State Orchestra.

Only one of us, Miriam Krebs, attended the District Band Festival in April.

In our last year of sanity, we produced more physical specimens than ever before, if that is possible.

This class just can't get done pawing the sod.

Why, the Hollow continually looks like something we dragged Bellefonte's football team into.

Jack Olewine and Gene Weaver were outstanding on

the football squad; Spider Corman, too, was in there slugging away for dear old State, and was rewarded by being chosen to play on the Centre Daily Times All-County football team. Roger Johnson achieved intramural fame when he won the District Wrestling Championship in the 120-pound class; Mell Dietrich and Spider Corman also gained practical knowledge which will stand them in good stead on Sadie Hawkins Day. Citations and awar ds for high scholastic standing were bestowed upon Mary Anderson, RusseBa Adamitz, Joan Bissey, Sally Etters, Barbara Kinley, and Joel Crouch by the Parent-Teachers Association.

Numerous Juniors con-

tinued to blow their own horns in the school band this year, and some were blowing others.

Besides all these activities, we fought and won the war in

Miss Morris' American History class.

She was absolutely tops.

We missed Miss Morris the next year.

The gym, robed and arrayed in Arabian costume, 13

provided a colorful setting for the Junior Prom.

The whole school turned out

and a good time was had by all.

In June we found ourselves attending the commencement exercises of the class of '43, and proudly watching three of our best students, Mary Anderson, Joel Crouch, and Richard Nicholas, receive their diplomas a year ahead of time.

Our hats were off to them for finishing their school careers in eleven

years instead of twelve, but our hearts were heavy in thinking of the struggle of our senior year without them.

With such an enviable record as the one just recounted, the logical way to spend our last year was to add new conquests and soar to new heights.

In

short, to leave behind us such a record as the preceding seniors never cared to entrust to the school board.

Whether or not we did just that,. the reader shall

have to decide for himself.

The beginning of the end caught us like Pearl Harbor caught America, that is-well, let us say flat-footed.

Most of us had pretty definite ideas as to

how we would conduct ourselves as seniors, but we lost the first round to the element of surprise.

We didn't feel any different as seniors, but the old senior

slump crept up on us and we soon found ourselves administering the bended knee to freshmen as they unknowingly and unsuspectingly made use of the senior fountains.

Being, as all seniors should, well supplied with study halls and using them as we were intended to, we found ourselves overloaded with leisure time. Keep-

ing, as we always do, the higher interests of the school in our minds, we just naturally hit upon the idea utilizing our time in this highly cultural manner.

Several groups of seniors vied nightly for top honors, and the Star Spangled Minstrel group, snatchiing brief moments between rehearsals, was able to reach the peak of perfection during their two performances.

Another group of the more progressive minded seniors, realizing that they

l

were complete failures, about to be shoved out into the cruel world utterly devoid of any means of supporting themselves, began to take a concentrated, accelerated course in safecracking. Due to the shortage of safes brought about by the war, they found it necessary to practice on one of Henry Ford's lightweights.

We seniors are going to the dogs by leaps and bounds!

Our favorite s6ng

simply idolizes one of our teachers, and we daily commit the unpardonable sin of asking someone what Mrs. Peacock has assigned us for English.

And,

speaking of English, there's even a rumor that Dick Woodring, who was inveigled into writing the class history, purposely kept putting it off until the night before it was due at the printer's. What an outrage, that our class history, which is by tradition an outstanding work of the finest literary qualities, should be wrttten in a few short hours!

Oh, Shame!

After such last minute hurrying and scurrying as had never before been seen, our Harvest BaH, featuring Val Jean Routch's band, and complete with cornstalks and straw, wagonwheels, a corral for the chaperones, a wagon, pink lemonade, saddles and bags, was held in the gym.

A good time was had by

all, but especially the Army, Navy, and Air Corps.

Our football team changed the tune of this otherwise reeking record by winning all but the Tyrone game.

We were quite willing to overlook this and

to allow them to rest upon their laurels, but Mr. Williams, to Jack Olewine's chagrin, insisted upon going over the whole affair, right in trig. class!

Unlike last year's graduates, we did not choose wings as our commencement theme, but some of our fair associates were frequently seen flitting around the ceilings and chandeliers.

There was, however, nothing in all this to even

suggest the singing of the Air Corps song.

To be quite frank, when this went

to press, our class had not even started bickering about their commencement theme.

Shame and more shame!

We are absolute! y the most typical class of typical seniors ever to be tolerated in dear old State High, and we take unholy glee in it.

Class Prophecy This is Bob Kern announcing for the Shake's Beer program of news analysis, brought to you by the makers of Shake's Beer-"the best root beer in town." And now for the news as analyzed by our star reporter, Alex Gregory (he succeeded Winchell in popularity).

"Let's go to press"-Flash !

Lieut. General Stuart Frost yesterday announced that the draft age had been lowered to 15 years. Principal Gearhart of the State College High School announced that this would affect h:is kindergarten enrollment considerably. Lieutenants (in the W. A. C.) Ethel Corl, Mary Dale, and Doris Ebbs were the first to congratulate General Frost on this change in the draft age.

Flash!

Hollywood!

Ed Montandon, recently appointed assistant to Will Hays, tonight released to the public the fact that Claire Robinson's new picture, "Two-lips in the Garden," has been completely banned. The whole cast including Robert Manning (her leading man), Elaine Mahuran (dove dancer), and Jean Reed, Algie Smith, Joyce Winand, Martha Probst, June Kuhn and Carolyn Hocking (members of the stem sextette) has expressed its anger at this seeming misjustice. Kenneth Poorman, Collins Marker and George Cleveland (the director and camera men) are also disappointed that production has stopped. Miriam Krebs and Peggy Hoffman, leading fashion critics of Vogne, were responsible for the investigation which led to the banning of this picture. However, The Betts-Bechdel-Blazer-Beerman Publishing Company has released an unexpurgated version of the book of the same name which was written

by Paul Reish.

Flash!

Berlin!

A Star Spangled Troupe, entertaining an army of occupation contingent stationed in Berlin, gave a command performance last night at the Cavenie Suzzieanne Opera Theatre. Franciv Casivich, Donev Meyereski and Charli Margolfski gave their original ballet-"Danse of the Book-Worm." This was followed by Peggy Bathgate, Jean Bohn, Mary Armes, Russella Adamitz, Mary Burwell and Ethel Everts' singing of the new hit song, "Wilber, My Darling," written by Barb Kinley and Mel Dietrich.

This received tremendous ovation. The new "swoon-singer," James Hess, was carried out on a stretcher when the German Frauliens present became hysterical at his singing of "Smoke Comes Out My Ears." Spider Corman and Lorraine Witmer, "the comedy team of the year," had them rolling in the aisles after Lois Hartswick gave a dramatic reading from Eugene Weaver's stag hit "Unto This Day," in which Miss Hartswick starred. After the finale the audience made one grand rush to the Dave Mitchell Canteen where it was rumored that the famous communist lecturers, Mary Lawther and Eleanor Selsam were taking time out for a "coke."

State College !

No more important clues have been found concerning the brutal murder of two days ago when Esther Thompson, the society leader, was found strangled on the terrace of her palatial home. ] im Casselberry, police captain, today released his list of suspects, all of whom are leading citizens. The notable Harpster, Hassinger, Henninger trio, State's gayest playboys, head the list. Coroner Hamilton was called in to give a verdict but nothing could be determined from the autopsy. The funeral ar29

rangements have been made by the Etter's Funeral Parlor (motto: up and coming services for down going people) .

Miss Thompson's fiance, Budd Driebilbis, committed suicide in the president's fish pond upon hearing the news. Artificial respiration was administered by the First Aid Squadette, led by "Little Anne" Dunaway, "Big Betty" Fogle, and a crew consisting of Ruth Groninger, Jane Snyder, and Louise Swarm.

Flash! Reno!

According to Dick Woodring, star reporter of the Reno Rambler, Ralph Hosterman, mayor of Reno, announced that multi-millionaire Jimmie Keim, who was married early this morning, has filed suit for divorce-the grounds being extreme mental cruelty. Mayor Hosterman is internationally known for his cleanup campaign in this city. You listeners may remember the recent raid when the following prominent men were found playing "Canal-Street Dominoes": Gregor Dengler, Emily Post's successor; William Gray, basketball coach at Boalsburg Military Academy; Paul Shacklett and Charles Smith. Also found in the party were-Ruby Mattern and Margaret McClintic (they've achieved fame through their six-day bicycle racing).

Dot Korman, recent Academy Award winner (she stared in Don Barto's comedy, "Sand in Her Teeth") and Stan Clouser, Roger Johnson, Jack Greenland, Maurice Lightner and Charles Myers who have received acclamation from the entire world for their reconstruction of Tokio.

Flash! Cleveland, Ohio!

.

A new and astounding theory was brought forth at the U. S. Section of the Industrial Dental Association of the World. Grover Spearly, manufacturer of false teeth, has revolutionized this industry by the introduction of speed gears to dental plates. His chief foreman, John Weber, was responsible for the research on this matter. The patent office (James Kline heads it now), when asked to make a statement concerning this invention, said, "Something new!" Another highlight of this convention was a round-table discussion on the topic, "The Relative Value of Gold and Silver Fillings." The six representatives who took part in the discussion were: Joan Bissey, Freda Houts, Carolyn Olmstead, Douglass Mead and Jack Olewine. They finally came to the conclusion that this would depend on the size of the hole. The convention was held at Rex's Royal Hotel. There was also a District Meeting of the Friese-Keeler seance circle at which the following were initiated: Grace Smith, Doris Rishel and Helen Stover.

And now for today's Mail Bag-Word has been received from the S. C.H. S. that Jim Holtzinger has finally mastered the atomic theory. The Latin and Greek teachers at the Port Matilda High School (Gloria Snyder and Mary Frances Frost, former classmates of Jim's send him their sincere congratulations.

Bilgewater, Texas-Three of this town's leading matrons (the younger married set) were recently robbed. Marion Breon Jones, Pauline Houtz Smith and Virginia Cope Brown reported to the "Bilgewater Blabber" that the thieves had robbed them of a bottle of lavender nail polish, a Willkie button and a Brail copy of the Reader's Digest. This will be a serious loss to these three families if the robbers are not apprehended.

And that's all the news for today-tune in tomorrow at the same time to the "best root beer in town" program and with the playing of our theme song, "The Return of the Swallow," we bid you, goodnight.

Class History As for wrestling, Coach Jamison's eyes nearly pop At the display of muscles our class can turn up.

Corman, Watkins, Rice, Edinger, Nixon, l\'leyers, and Bloom (manager).

Hearty and hale and much alive, Describe the class of '45,

In sportsmanship we do excel On teams we show up very well.

In blowing and crowing great men's melodies,

In football the fourteen juniors out

Our class took top honors with greatest of ease, The eighteen in Band, A Cappella with ten, And six in orchestra, showed musical yen.

Helped win the games, without a doubt Garrison, Porter, Griffith and Hoy, Rogers, Rice, and Artz (oh, boy) Gearhart, Watkins, Schilling and Ellis, Corman, Lambert, Spearly what fellahs !

In each Piper issue, throughout the whole year These names on the masthead were to appear.

Baker, and Davis, and Jean Livingston, And Werner (by whom Hi-Lights column was run).

Serff's hooters included the following men Who'll be out there starrin' next year again, Edinger, Warner, Houser and Black, Hoy and Bloom are the boys who"ll be back.

Betts, McClintock, Bissey and Bloom Who spent many hours in the small Piper room.

This year's officers of the class Were three stout lads, and one bonny lass, Porter, Watkins, and Hunter, too, Along with McClintock made up a fine crew.

The greatest percentage of Coach .Armstrong's boys Were the juniors who practiced ':round the gym with much poise, Griffith, Rogers, Porter, and Keller, Hoy, Garrison, Artz, and Zeller, Watkins, Genner, Ellis, all these Made the varsity squad or played! with J. V.'s.

We'd have to continue with this little rhyme To include everyone, but we haven't the time Or the space, so to please all we'll end with a toast To the juniors, of whom we are all proud to boast.

BROUSE

The student government plans and leads the school's activities. At the beginning of the school year committees were appointed to handle such problems as the appointment of new members to the council, planning and holding mixers, and the organization of the Victory Corps.

This group has the responsibility of supervising all other

organizations in the high school.

High school elections and home room elections

are sponsored by the council along with the general duties such as presiding in all senior high assemblies.

The student council 1s the base of the high school and the students depend on its sturdiness.

*

*

*

Safety Council The A B C's of safety are "Always Be Careful."

The object of the safety council is the conservation of life and property through the prevention of accidents, and the building up of a safety morale within the school.

The work of this group is done by committees with the aid of teachers, janitors, and students who are interested in safety education in the high school.

With the erection of the new building regulated traffic in the halls was necessary.

This led to the formation of the Hall Patrol.

The new building was constructed on

the bicycle parking site and bicycle parking became a safety problem. Racks and sheds were constructed and bicycle safety was stressed in the schools. Another of the many problems confronting the safety group was that of young children crossing streets at dangerous intersections. The safety patrol was organized and equipped under the guidance of Mr. Gackenbach and safety consciousness came into being in State High.

"Little Jack Homer stopped at the comer and let all the cars go bJ', And when the,y were gone he plodded along and said, "What a bright boy am]."

40

Victory Corps Council The purpose of the Victory Corps is to organize war efforts in the high school.

Some of the many activities of the students are collecting salvage, making surgical dressings, farm work, caring for children, or working in the stores of State College.

One of the usual Christmas activities is that of making and repairing toys to be donated to charity. Just before Christmas the tin can salvage drive was held and townspeople and students co-operated to make the venture a success.

The qualifications for the general Victory Corps are as follows: The student must be passing in every subject.

The student must be participating in the physical training program.

The student must do ten hours of voluntary service within a nine weeks period.

The general corp standards are not difficult to maintain but the specialized divisions have higher qualifications. Some of the specialized divisions require a student to be taking specified subjects such as math, science, or agriculture. More actual work is involved in these divisions since a student is expected to do sixteen additional hours of work whether paid or voluntary.

There are five specialized divisions:

Air Service, Sea Service, Land Service,

Production Service, Community Service.

The Victory Corp was organized as a result of the need for organized war effort, but it is expected to develop into a peace time project.

Junior Red Cross Council This year our Junior Red Cross Council celebrated its third birthday.

In the

three years of its career, this organization has been the governing body for the school war services. Under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Smith, the council has launched a more extensive program each year.

The entire student body belongs to the Junior Red Cross, but it is headed by the Junior Red Cross Council. This body co-ordinates all Junior Red Cross activities and formulates the policies for the entire organization.

The number of members i_n

this body may not exceed twenty volunteers with one representative from each Senior high home room.

The large amount of money which was received from our enrollment drive enabled us to increase our production greatly.

The students have been more co-

operative this year than in former years. Under the guidance of the Junior Red Cross, State College High School is an excellent example of a school at war.

This year the club was host to the annual . North Central District Older Boys Conference. The conference was quite a success with more than one hundred fifty boys attending, representing twelve schools.

Reagan Rice, of the State College club, was elected president of the conference ' for the following year.

The club organized many of the Lenten services and Christian programs m the school but many activities were curbed by the war.

Tri-Hi-Y "To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character," is the purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y, senior high service club for girls, sponsored by Mrs. Link. The membership for this year is forty girls.

At Thanksgiving, they prepared a basket, abundantly filled, for a needy family.

The Thanksgiving service at the Presbyterian Church was also sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y. As an annual feature they planned a Christmas party for young children which had to be canceled due to extended illness. A program of Christmas music was organized and carried out by the Tri-Hi-Y at a Christmas church service. They also sent gifts to many children in the districts surrounding State College.

During the year the Tri-Hi-Y managed the devotions for assemblies and assisted in various Lenten services. They also made and sold candy at high school basketball games.

The parties and initiation proved to be fun for all members and the Tri-Hi-Y can be proud of its record of good deeds.

Ee Club

This club, which has had several successful years of service behind it, is organized for 1943-44 with 18 senior high girls planning big things for themselves and the group.

The new officers are Lois Saxion, President; Maxine Rinehart, Vice President; Margaret McClintic, Secretary.

Esther Corl and Mary Stover served as members of

the planning committee.

The year's programs are planned around two general themes-War service and service to the community, and social usage in the high school. Translated into practical terms they mean Red Cross sewing, and afghan work, scrapbooks for convalescent soldiers as well as movies, teas, parties and other ways of applying correct social usage to the school. The first of these occasions was a Pot Luck Supper in the Home Ee. Department, featuring initiation of new members and a general entertainment program.

The Library Club is composed of fifteen members this year.

The first few meetings were used by our adviser, Miss Crall, to show us where the various types of books are located.

The aims of the Library Club are to get students interested in books, help the adviser with library work, and learn how to use the library properly.

Club members in working to improve the library, will learn much about books and libraries.

The knowledge should prove to be of value in all high school and

college work.

Several former State High Library Club members have secured

library positions in various colleges.

The F. F. A. Club began its first year at State College just one year ago. Since its organization it has been one of the most successful clubs at the high school.

Some of the aims of the club are to create a love of country life, to develop competent, aggressive rural and agriculture leadership, to participate in worthy undertakings for the improvement of agriculture, to participate in co-operate effort, and to encourage and practice thrift.

Each year the club has a project. Last year the project consisted of a seven-acre corn growing experiment.

The club used the proceeds of this project to pay the

expenses, including a note held by a local bank.

Six. bushels of sweet corn were donated to the Red Cross.

Girls' Sports During this past school term many sports events took place and the cheerleaders were right there doing their best. The squad was sponsored by Mr. Morning, who gave much of his time to make the "yell leaders" better than those of former years.

Some of the qualifications for a cheerleader are co-operation, neat appearance, ability to do cheers, a good voice, and a pleasant personality. Three seniors, Claire Robinson, Sally Etters, and Gloria Snyder, were the head cheerleaders who helped lead the teams to victory.

The three departing seniors wish the 1944-45 squad luck and hope that

their year will be a successful one.

On November 19, the girls organized a Fun Night.

The faculty and students

alike offered their services for the benefit of the cheerleaders.

One of the football

mixers was successfully handled by the " nine" with entertainment by the students and teachers.

Shortly before Christmas vacation, ninth grade girls vied for pos1t1011s on the squad.

The eight that fulfilled the qualifications are Carolyn Caveny, Ann Donahoe,

Joyce Fosa, Lois Green, Joanne Hoy, Doris Morning, Betty Swift, and Virginia Yougel.

Three of these girls are fortunate enough to be retained as senior high cheerleaders.

The 1943-44 season was a poor one for the girls at State High. Hockey and archery were discontinued early in the fall because of the cold and rainy weather.

Homerooms had hardly organized their basketball teams when the MAROON AND GRAY went to press, making it impossible to announce the annual Honorary Varsity Basketball Team or the homeroom champions. Bowling and badminton tournaments also were not completed in time, so rather than feature winning groups in sports this year, individuals are the shining stars.

Prominent bowsmen

111

the field of archery were Mary O'C~nnell, Marilyn

Guillet, and Anne Kennedy.

Although hockey wasn't very successful, the girls enjoyed this sport and ranked it "tops" in fall activities. Suzanne Caveny, Shirley Betts, Ginny Miller, and Ginger Higgins were captains for the four hockey teams.

Bowling was very popular this year, and judging by the scores the females have finally learned that the pinboys set the pins up on the alley and not in the gutters.

Ginger 路 Higgins, student manager of bowling, proved to be the outstanding bowler.

Her ~cores averaged 127, while she also held the high single score of 156.

Miller was the high scorer in the sophomore class, posting a score of 149.

Ginny was a senior, Miriam Krebs, with 14,8.

Ginny Close to

Governing the girls' sports, the Girls Athletic Board of Control was headed this year by Sally Etters, president; Mary Lawther, vice president; Ginger Higgins, secretary; and Connie Keller, treasurer. The G. A. C., with the Leaders Club, assist Miss Cairns and Miss Springer in making girls' sports more successful.
