Foreword
OUR years of Allegheny High School makes
an indelible impression upon the lives of the
students. The Class of January 1936 ap-
preciates now more than ever before just what
Allegheny means to each Senior. In work and in
play we have formed friendships with faculty and
studentsg we have had experiences the memory of
which we shall always cherish. To preserve these
experiences the editors of this Year Book have
endeavored by work and by pictorial representation
to record the life and spirit of the school. The
editors hope that in years to 'come this Annual may
recreate for you-the happy hours, the pleasant
companionships, and evenlthe .struggles we have had
together in dear old Allegheny High.

has shown her writing ability in the alumni column. Merlcedes also has great
dramatic ability. As Grandma in. the p'lay given on Parent-Teachers night
and as Martha in the Senior Play, she won a position in the hall of fame.
Mercedes is active in sports and is perfectly' at home on the volleyball or
basketball floor. Always on Hi-gh or Highest Honor, she is one of the best
students in our class.
VIOIJET STEIQN
SMALL, blue eyed, dark haired and attractive, Violet preside-d with dignity
-at the staff meetings of the Wah Hoo. Well known is Violet, another
graduate of Schiller who has made good at Allegheny. Her exceptional acting
ability won for her the coveted role of Nora in the Senior Play. Her journali-s-
tic ability won, her the office, Editor of the Wah Hoo. She is a good student,
her name is on the Honor Roll. Above all, Violet is dependable--a quality
admired above all others. Her art is such that recently she won honorable
mention in a contest sponsored by the Post-Gazette. Her typing renders her
indispensable to the business department. Viollet is a graceful dancerg she
spends her leisure time, which, of course, is very little, -developing her favorite
hobby-dancing. Cheerful, friendly, helpful, loyal are characteristics that
have won Violet many friends.
PAUL KORNEKE
AMATEUR Radio immediately brings to mind the young genius, Paul
Korneke. Paul's latest work is his Molecular 'llheory of Color, which
marks him a budding scientist. His talks on amateur radio operating and his
stories of Germany have given us many pleasant moments. Although very
serious and business-like while at Work, Paul has his humorous side. You
have seen his columns of humor in the Wah Hoo. He has served in student
council, and on service squad, and has been president of Radio club for two
semesters. He has also been an excellent violinist in the orchestra. Paulis
days are busy and he doesn't know what spare time is, but he has always kept
a high scholastic record. He ranks High Honor.
' MAE CREDE
MAE. is versatile. Her scholastic achievement placed her. in the upper part
' of her class as an honor student. She is an ardent sportswomvan. She
enjoys p1l'aying.a good game of b-asketball or tennis. Snhe was an enthusiastic
rooter at the football and basketball games, a member of the service squad
and for two semesters Exchange Editor of the Wah Hoo, positions which she
filled admirably. As a dra-matist she is on a par with the best As Elmine
Ludifne Smith in the Senior Play, and Macbeth in the Oral English class, she
displayed real talent. Her friendshlips are sincere and lasting. With such a
spllendid foundation Mae will succeed in her college 'career and future work.
MELVIN RICHMAN
MEL is a typical leader and regu-lar fellow. He is the popular pfresiident of
213, a member of the Service Squad, a valuablle .asset to the Wah Hoo
Staff, and stands securely in his scholastic rating. Who sball ever forget Benny
in the senior play? As the boastful, confident salesman, he was hilariously
funny. Mel is jolly, and always has a clever comeback in his original joking.
Few there are who can surpass Mel in his dancing. His graceful, original steps
are admired by the girls and envied by the boys. We are deeprly indebted to
this senior for the good work he has done for Allegheny. His talent also leads
into other fields, he is an accomplished musician, playing the violin in the
A. H. S. orchestra.
ELLA DEER V
SPARKLING hazel eyes and a winning smile are the -possessions of Ella.
Despite the fact that she has been with us only one year, she has worked
her way to the top and won a place in our hearts. Her reliability and willing-
ness to work make her a -popular leader. Ella is the Literary head of the
W wh Hoo. Her poetry is full of meaning .and expression. We looked forward
with pleasure for her stories and articles. She plans to continue her journalism.
Her fine speaking voice and dramatic talent were conspicuous in 'her brilliant
performance as Mirs. Barrett in the senior play. She -capably carried the
responsibilities of being treasurer of the senior -class, and secretary of her
home room. Nor 'did Ella shirk her studies, she won High Honor. All seniors
chime in chorus: What a girl! What a -girl!
MEYER FRIEDBERG
BOYISH smile, mischievious brown eyes, and brilliant black hair-describe
Meyer. Since 10B he has been a well known figure about Allegheny.
Never gloomy, always alert, tha't's what makes 'him fa popular member of the
class. Anything managed by Meyer is assured success. As editor of the ath-
letics department for the Wah Hoo, he has shown his ability as a sports writer.
His -performances in 0. E. were of the best, and' .as a reward he won a part
in the Senior play. For several semesters he was a member of the service
squad, doing his bit as a -door guard. He has also been -a member of Student
Council. With all his extra activities Meyer has not slighted the Honor Roll.
Nllegheny will miss this dependable -student and good friend.
WILLIAM CANYOCK , -
66 UST Pl-ain Bill Canyo-cki' is one of the busiest la-ds in our class. He came
to us from Latimer where he was a member of the track team and the
artist on the Latimer Life Staff. Bill has been the Wah Hoo cartoonist for
three years and he has -frequently contributed articles to the Literary depart-
ment. Yet he is often found in a serious mood. H-is tart work has' greatly
aided in the success of school campaigns and has brought him many prizes,
one of these being a silver loving cup won in 1931. B-ill has -many hobbies,
but his favorites are art, sports, and studying human nature. He plays a grand
game of basketball. His depend-ability has won him the offices of vice presi-
dent of his home room and president of the Art Club. S-ghdl-astically he ranks
well above the average. Bill is frank, sincere, a true friend and sportsman.
RALPH AVEHSA
QTUDIOUS, dependable, and help-ful are just a few of the outstanding char-
Vf acteristics which can be used in describi-n-g Ralph. His able suggestions
made him a Very valuable member of 'the Wah Hoo- staff. Since Latimer his
name has often graced the honor roll as an honor or high 'honor student. He
has been active in club .activities being president of the French Club and a
member of the Naturalists Club. Perhaps his high honor rating has something
to do with his ambitions. Ralph has a desire to study both archeollogy and
law. His interests, however, -do not lie entirely in curricular studies, but enter
also into the fields of sport, football being one of his favorites. His activities
have made him indispensable to our class.
- RUDONLF SUCHMA
ONE of the most popular tboys in -the senior class is Rudy Suchma. He is
famous for his ready wit and sincerity which blend into a delightful per-
sonality. His spare time is spent reading or listenvinfg to music, which he
enjoys very much. He entered Allegheny as a sophomore from Latimer. Rudyls
schollastic record in school has been one of honor ranking. He has given
freely of his services to the school, being ia memloer of the -service squad and
the president of Literary Society. He is also very active in the functions of
the Boys College Cluh. His maint ambition is to become a certified public
accountant. We feel sure that Ru-dy will some day realize his ambition.
V JACK FOERT SCH
ACK is one of the ibrightest hopes for the future success of our class. His
service in the school has fbeen of exceptionally fine quality. In his Senior
B year as home room president, member of Student Representative Body and
Chairman of the Attendance Committee he made a record o-f distinction. ln
his senior year as Editor of the Wah Hoo Staff he lloyally and efficiently worked
to uphold the traditions of the magazine. There was hardly ia moment in the
last few months of our 12A semester that Javck 'wa-s not busy doing some-thing
for Allegheny cheerfully, willingly, -and successfully. He earned High Honfor.
His choice of profession is medicine.
ANNE GOLD
ANNE is a treasure worth far more than gold. When she solicited .ads for
the Wah Hoo in her business-llike way, when she took the minutes of the
class meeting, rapidly and accurately, when she checked the roll call in gym
clas-ses or acted as referee, Goldie was always the good sport. Her lovely brown
eyes sparkled merrily was she wittingly related an amusing experience. She
was on the property committee for the senior play and, as usual, proved her
capability in working with others. Gay and lively, every once in a while she
burst into song with a melodious voice appealing to all who heard her.
V MAX NESTLER
MAX'S versatility is well demonstrated by his active participation in both
-'- curricular and extra-curricular activities. 1Evcn though he is a high ho-mor
student, he takes an absonbing interest in the building of model aeroplanes
and the playing of musical instruments. Everyone knows how well Max plays
the saxophone in our band. He also plays the clarinet anfd profits from his
musical ability by playing in outside orchestras. Max is a chemistry shark.
He experiments at home in his modernly equipped laboratory which he built
himself. Max is wel-l known and well liked at Alllegheny for he was elected
president of his class during the 12B semester and now holds the responsible
position of Business Manager of the Wah Hoo. Ambitious, popular, courteous,
energetic, handsome, sincere, studious, brilliant, cheerful, efficient-Well, why
go on-let us just say that Maxis personality is remarkalble as Well as unusuall.
Now that he has successfully completed his high school career, we know from
his past accomplishments that Max is not going to stop in his climtb up the
ladder of Success. He plans to reach even greater heights While continuing
his education. at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in the School of Chem-
istry. We are proud to have Max go into the realms of higher education as a
representative of dear old Allegheny.
History
February, 1931-January, 1936
O the
usual amo-unt of
casual observer our class appears as one that has experienced the
-study, social life, excitement, and curricular activities
which every class previous to ours h.as had. To us, these experiences have a
deep significance, but there has been more than mere surface participation.
Four years ago we entered Allegheny as Freshmen. Like all other freshies
We were awed by the upper-cilassmen who seemed so important and dignified.
Everything was so new and strange: it was practically like beginning life all
over again: and we reacted normally to these stimuli.
In the Sophomore year we crawled from our shells of seclusion. We
began to take more interest in the school activities and with this new found
interest realized the importance of the Wah Hoo. Our opinions were voiced
with much greater strength, .and in general we became far less humble. Dur-
ing this time numerous geniuses oif our class began to make themselves known.
As Juniors we hard advanced to a place of some importance. The new
found sense of responsibility made us feel that we had become indispensable
to the success of the school. Proudly we displayed the royal signet of'Alle-
gheny, which we had earned the right to wear. With the wearing of our class
ring we had climbed another rung in the ladder leading to graduation.
At last we have reached our goal: we have been successful in hurdling
all the obstaotles which bar the way to becoming .a Senior Class. As we look
from the pinnacle of our goal, perhaps, some of us will look back and recall
events that have passed and wisih that we might be able to relive those years
again in Allegheny, years which have passed so quickly that it is difficult to
realize that we are about to drop the final curtain on just one of the phases
of our lives.
While we have been preparing ourselves for the life that we are about
to encounter in the world, many changes have taken place in our system of
education. We Lhave seen the Open Forum established in which students inter-
ested in the affairs of government in the city., county, or state may ask the
different officials who are connected with the operation of any one of these
three great bodies questions concerning their policies of government. During
our term in Allegheny the students have been given the opportunity to cast
ballots for the candidates who are running for the different offices at election
time. The whole proceedure of tfhe election is identical to that which the
voters encounter.
These are but two activities in which the student has received valuable
knowledge and experience which will tend to increase his sense of citizenship
and to acquaint him with the poditical affairs of the time in which he lives.
But we have not limited our broadening experiences to activities that may
be carried on in the school. We are alive to events that are taking place in
the world about us, a world that is changing so rapidly that it is impossible
to keep pace with it. These changes have a tremendous influence upon us,
and -are bearing considerable weight in the moulding of our thoughts and
actions.
In Italy we have seen Mussolini rise to dictatorial political power. His
invasion of Ethiopia shocked the world. This action may have been brought
about by the failure of the Allies at the dlose of the Woirld War to give Italy
the territory that had been promised her in the secret treaty of London. But
whatever the cause of the invasion, the January Class of 1936 closes its years
in Allegheny with the realization that international fellowship is not yet es-
tablished.
We have seen Hitler, too, the most powerful person in all Germany, crush
persons differing in ,race and creed. Probably much of the trouble in Europe
can be traced to the territorial adjustments made at the dlose of the World
War. But that explanation 'does not excuse the covetousness of men and the
demand for power.
During our years at Allegheny not only European and Asiatic troubles
disturbed us, but our own United States experienced the greatest depression
in its history. Remarkable is it, that people have kept their hope and con-
fidence.
Yes, these years in Allegheny have been epoch making years. Our part
in the solution of the recovery of the world will be to seek the truth, to face
the facts, to dare to do the right.
May the January 1936 Class go forth into this disturbed world resolved
to be a force in a permanent recovery, resolved that their schooling shall not
have been in vain, but that it shall react for the regeneration of our own' nation
and for peace among all nations.

BEHIND THE SCENES
DURING Senior Play time what would happen if there were no stage crew,
typists, prompters an-d ushers? There just wouldn't be a Senior Play.
It is these :people who made the Senior play -a -success. Much praise is due
them although seldom do they receive it. But all Allegheny appreciates their
willingness to aid ,at any time. The seniors in literary society have provided
excellent programs this semester: pantomimes, one act plays, and Taming of
the Shrew. The officers of seniofr literary for the semester: president, Rudolph
Suchfmag secretary, Jennie Henryg director, Miss Elizabeth Howie. Other
members: Theodore Amdur, James Boyce, Albert Duda, Helen Feric, Dorothy
Michalec, Robert Miller, Ruth Colburn, Harold Sand, Beatrice Weigard,
Robert Rodgers, Mary Mateusiak, Carl Laughner, Grace Ludwig and George
Stevenson.

fITI-I this Year Book the Wah Hoo Staff completes its task. We regret that
our high school life is slowly drawing to a close, for these years in Alle-
gheny have proved very profl-table. The Staff has gained knowledge that will
aid us in later life. The Staff carries with it memories that time cannot destroy.
We wish to express our appreciation to the students of Allegheny for their
loyalty and co-operation., for only through their support were We able to in-
crease the circulation of the Wah Hoo to the point where it has exceeded that
of any former time. .

SPANISH CLUB
THE membership of the Spanish Club is small. The members, however,
have received a wider knowledge of Spanish people and a greater ease
with the Spanish language. The meetings were very informal ,and at times
quite lively. The club was addressed by outside speakers on Mexico. We
hope to have more members envlisted for next semester. Buena suerte a nuestros
amigos que terminan sus estudios en la escuela Allegheny High en medio del
ano 1935. The officers of the club: president, Robert Devinneyg vice president,
Ellen Cavanaugh, secretary, June Resslerg treasurer, Thelma Reinersmanng
program committee, Ellen Cavainaugh, Frances McBriar, Robert Devinneyg
sponsor, Miss Evelyn Riddle.
- STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE BODY
HROUGHOUT the semester the Student Representative Body, composed of
presidents of thirty-nine home rooms, Worked to bring the students into
a closer and friendlier understanding. Discussions covering many problems of
our school were kept alive through the leadership of the committees. The
scholarship committee, with Max Nestler as chairman, tried to help the stu-
dents With low scholarship recordsg the attendance committee, led by Ruth
Kuntz, worked hard to improve the attendance standing. Alvin Brooks, chair-
man of civic committee, prepared programs on civic improvements. Through
the publicity committee our school received recognition in the field of science,
art, and other activities. The home room committee 'led the group in the
study of conduct. The officers: Donald Hassinger, presidentg Max Nestler,
vice presidentg Sidney Navratil, secretaryg and Alvin Brooks, sergeant-at-arms.

BOOSTERS CLUB
HE Girls Boosters Club began the new semester with twenty old members,
permitting the admission of twenty new ones. We started our financiad
year by the sale of Allegheny stickers, the price of which was reduced from
five cents to two for five. Enough money was secured by the sale to pay the
expenses of a chapel speaker, the Reverend Blair, a blind clergyman from
New Kensington. His talk was based upon 'the lessons taught by his constant
companion, a German shepherd dog, Jill. The Reverend Blair's cheerfulness
will remain a real challenge to the girls who had an opportunity to meet him
personally. Another contribution from the sticker fund was the purchase of
red rand blue cloth to serve as a permanent covering for the ticket booth. The
girls 'collected toys for Christmas distribution. The club is sponsored by Miss
Grace Millerg the officers are: president, Helene Kostelezg vice president,
Naomi Crusang secretary, Betty Lotzg treasurer, Dora Trianog archivesti Marie

talent in the Writing of shorthand. Our aim is to improve our personality
so that We may add to our skill qualities necessary to be competent secretaries
to business executives. Each member of the club was responsible for helping
a student Wl1o found shorthand difficult. Speakers from Pittsburgh Academy,
University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, Grace Martinis School, and the Busi-
ness atnd Professional W01116I17S Club talked to us on the qualifications and
duties of .a secretary and told us of the courses offered in the schools, so that
we might better decide where to continue education after graduation from
Allegheny. Our semesteljs program included also socials, parties, teas, visits
to demonstrations at the Chatter Box of the Willialn Penn Hotel and Frick
Training School. Officers: Mildred Dinkel, presiclentg Margaret Hood, secre-
tary, Virginia Sharfl, treasurer. Miss Myrtle Wylie is the sponsor.
THE GIRLS LEADERS CLUB
THE Girls Leaders 'feel that they have had a very busy and profitable year.
They completed several projects, such as cutting out and making yellow
gym suits, making the athletic awards, learning to take charge of .gym classes
and refereeing basketball games. They felt, too, the importance of the .regular
meetings. The Leaders refereed all the 'basketball games in the four class
tournaments besides serving as managers, score keepers, and time keepers.
The club sponsored the Semester Play Dance. President of our club, Caroline
Williams, vice president, Helen Mateusiakg secretary, Vivian Houptg and treas-
user, Grace Campbell have done their best to make our clwb one of the most
interesting clubs in Allegheny. Working as hard as we did we thought that
a little relaxation like a Weiner roast and other soiciad activities were well
deserved.
GIRLS GO-TO-COLLEGE CLUB
IT IS A thrilling experience to be a member of the College club which has
a rich heritage. What jolly fun it was to be hostesses at the Thirteenth
Annual Alumnae Tea which was planned and conducted by the alumnae
under the leadership of Rosemary Crime, a junior honor student at Pitt and
president of the Executive Council. These loyall, enthusiastic alumnae came
back to tell us about life in the colleges and the universities. The alumnae
had also invited our mothers, and Mr. and Mrs. Beachley, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher.
Many paid tribute to our own sponsor, Miss Petty, who founded the Go-To-
College Club which is now a national organization. Another thrilling experi-
ence Was a tour through the Cathedral of Learning. The club provides a
scholtarship for a worthy member. Our slogan is: uGo on and hellp others
to go on."
LE CERCLE FRANCAIS
Ce semestre a reussi tres bien pour le cercle. Toujours des prof
grammes interessants et bien prepares. ll faut dire que les aifaires du
cercle ont commence des la premiere seance. Nous n'oublierons jamais

ont joue, les cbansons ensemble, les chants seuls par Mademoiselle Sharif,
des poemes. On a eu beaucoup de musique exquise mais surtout grice in
la bonte de Mademoiselle Jones. ljannee s'est finie par un programme

L,
leading organizations in the school. As recognized by i-ts name this club

bers represent every outstanding .activity in the school and are always ready
to cooperate. The officers officiating were George Puhl, presidentg John Hart-
man, vice presidentg Francis Lang, secretary.
WAH H00 REPRESENTATIVES
THIS semester the student body, especially the staff, has been very fortunate
l in having a group of Wah Hoo Representatives who have gratefully COIL-
tributed their services in getting subscriptions for the Wah Hoo. Their work
has been very difficult, with many obstacles confronting themg nevertheless
they have been very successful and reached their goal of one thousand circula-
tion. They have attained ,a record of which they can he proud and one which
future representatives may use as a goal. The staff wishes to thank them for
their cooperation this past semester.
GIRL RESERVES
HE purpose of the Girl Reserves is uTo develop noble character, to pro-
mote social friendliness throughout the school, to be of service to human-
it 3 to follow the Divine Word, and to Give at all times our best.

vice president, Bebe Wiseg secretary, Regina Fredleyg treasurer, Christian
Manesiotisg council representative, Mary Mateusiak.
SENIOR BAND
LAST semester the Senior Band had only tfwo practices in week, but through
A the cooperation of Mr. Beachiley, Mr. Keister, and the faculty the music
subjects were so arranged that the senior band could meet the seventh period
every day. This arrangement added interest to the band and the members
became more proficient musicians. Now that Allegheny's football season is
over, the band turns to symphonies and overtures.
ARCHITECTURE CLUB
THE boys in Architecture club have -met in 211 every fifth period on Mon-
' ' days. The cost for materials is gotten from a weekly dues of five cents
that the members agree to pay. On Hallowe'en the club held a pafrty at the
Hickory Club Farm. The purpose of the club is to give the students enjoy-
ment and show them a profitable pastime. The boys in-ade wooden moulds for
the sides of the houses, cut out the doors and windows from them, then glued
the sides -together. They also painted the houses. A prize of two dollars was
awarded the person building the best looking model. The club officers were:
president, Charles Steblarg vice president, William Weisnerg secretary and
treasurer, Lawrence Craig. .
SERVICE MEN
THE service men of Allegheny High assist the faculty and aid the students
by cooperating with them for the betterment of the school. The various
divisions of service men are: 'Office Messengers, Bank Messengers, Door Guards,
Lunch Line Attendants, Locker Men, Librarians, and Secretaries. With the
assistance of these students the school is ,able to function in a more systematic
manner. The bank slips are delivered promptly. The doors are guarded and
information is given to persons requesting the location of the various offices
and rooms. The lunch line is kept in an orderly fashion. The lockers are
watched and only those who rightfully belong are permitted to enter. The
secretaries 'attend to the typing for the various instructors. Allegheny ap-

CHEF CLUB
THE Chef Club of Allegheny High is unique and interesting. The club
meets only once a Week. The 'boys not only cook but also wash dishes.
They go about their chores like so many busy bees in their hive. If you could
but watch them working in white aprons and caps, you would see that the
boys are keenly interested in their work. Once- a month the club has a busi-
ness meeting. The officers of the club: president, Robert Becker, secretary
and treasurer, Theodore Key. At one of the meetings the suggestion was made
that the club have a picture in the Wdh Hoo. In order to raise enough money
the club sold tea with crackers. Although the girls sometimes laughed at the
idea of boys h.avin.g a cooking club, the boys paid no heed whatsoever, wonder-
ing whether some of the girls could boil an egg.
NATURALISTS CLUB A
HIKE to Frick Woods and a weiner roast were two of the enjoyable times,
L had by the members of the Naturalists Club this semester. The object of
our club is to create a lively interest in nature by means of collecting material
for study, such as insects, plants, and fungi. Many of our meetings were de-
voted to programs prepared by the various club members on birds and animals.
Some of the members have also prepared hay, and cabbage, and potato in-
fusions for microscopic study. On a trip to the museum we interviewed several
of the taxidermists and paleontologists who told us some interesting things
about birds and prehistoric animals. We concluded our trip by going to the
top floor of the Cathedral of Learning, where we had a fine View of the city.
AVIATION CLUB
N the course of the semester the Aviation Club members built model air-
planes and balloons, some of which were entered in the interscholastic con-
tests. Among other club activities were instructive discussions on practical
aeronautics and demonstrations, by the older members, of the building of
difficult models. Younger members were given instruction in model designing
and buildin.g. Sections of the club competed with each other in various con-
tests. Plans were made for raising funds to purchase a glider to be built by
the members during the spring semester. The club was sponsored by Mr.
Emmingerg The officers: Harry C. Muldoon, president, Walter Danges, vice
president, and George Paslawsky, secretary, Charles Andon and Arthur Mc-
Connell, flight leaders.
ELEVEN A DRAMA CLUB
HERE were once thirty aspiring thespians in the Junior A Class. Banded
together realizing that in unity of purpose lay strength, they chose from
that company to be leader the one most reputed for wisdom, namely Edward
Ackermanng and also a scribe, Louis Gold to write down great deeds, a keeper
of gold, Peter Prunile, to hoard the enormous deposits of wealth, and an
.assistant leader to hold high the ideals of the association. But the Way was
stony and many dropped with fatigue. The greatest obstacle was that of a
presentation of a business office, which was given in 307, under the eyes of the
shepherd of the flock, Miss Heck, and in 202 during a school business discus-
sion. But helping hands bound up the wounds of the weary and aided them
to overcome new obstacdes at the monthly .amateur shows. Thus were many
aided to new heights of poise and wisdom, they found their .goal was sweet.

ALLEGHENTS ORCHESTRA
ORCHESTRA
THE Allegheny High School orchestra is one of the most active organizations
' in the school. lt has a total membership of fifty-two. The orchestra not
only plays for school affairs, but it renders selections for organizations outside
of school. Thus far this season the orchestra has played in the Carnegie Hall
on the North Side and Boggs and Buhls. The senior play was made a success
partly by the orchestra, which was under the direction of senior students. This
semester we had such capable conductors as Paul Korneke, Richard Mandera,
Alex Wichm.an, Harold Sand, Elmer Neuhart, and J oe Kowalski. All of the
work accomplished was under the supervision of W. Howard Kiester, our
director. '
WH W y MARCONI RADIO CLUB WSNEX
pi 1 M,Ws:v ,,.' ,..g7,ij11:.,,,Qfr"z':s,f,..,,,,
THE Marconi Radio Club is different from most of the clubs in Allegheny
High School. The fifth period each Tuesday in Room 403, the club mem-
bers practice diligently the dots and dashes of the Morse Code. T-he same
routine is used every semester in order to acquaint the new members who
know very little about radio with the theories and laws of the operation of
amateur radio stations. Members also were prepared to pass government ex-
aminations in order to become licensed .amateur radio operators. To pass
the test, one must master the International Morse Code and have an iimder-
standing of the operation of an amateur radio station and the laws governing
its operation. During the early part of the semester an expensive antenna
system was installed on the roofs of the Sherman Avenue and Arch Street
buildings. This system enables the club to converse with fellow amateurs.
The training given in the club has prepared four boys to take the government
examination. The excellent training given will prove Valuable to members.
Paul Korneke is president of the club, John M.azur is vice president, Harry
Hosak, secretaryg Herman Winkler, treasurer, Mr. Sterrett, sponsor.
U THE BOYS LEADERS CLUB
THE Boys Leaders Club is a group of energetic young lads who participate
in boxing, wrestling, apparatus work, marching, and other exercises. The
club, sponsored by Mr. Miller, supports school p1'ojects, sponsors the intra-
mural basketball and volleyball tournaments, and mimeographed the Alle-
gheny football cheers for the new students. The members also held their
annual outing in a cottage on the shore of Lake Milton in Ohio.
ART CLUB
ABT CLUB
THE Art Club chose for its theme 4'Art for Art's Sake". The members have
been at work and have helped in many school activities. Some have been
busily engaged in pen and ink Work and poster making. Others took part in
the interesting work of abstract designing and composing super-imposed pic-
tures. They have added-greatly in the work of the W'ah Hoo. The members
enjoyed decorating thestage for the Senior Play and arranging the art room
for Parent-Teachers night exhibition. The social activities were an educational
trip to the International Art Exhibit, and a lecture by Miss Lee and also an
enjoyable Christmas party. The Club is under the sponsorship of Miss Hazle-
wood, and our officers were: president, William Cauyockg vice president, Vin-
cent Bartolomayog secretary, Hilda Anerkg treasurer, Eugene Burgoyne, Wah
Hoo reporter, Eleanor Dahl.
NINTH GRADE DRAMA
THE Ninth Grade Drama Club has had an educational as well as a jolly
semester. Our club business was ably conducted. Carl Bain, president,
Miss Braham, sponsor, Gertrude Selinsky, secretary, and Bose Syanflippi,
treasurer. The various committees successfully accomplished the work. It
was not all Work though, for we had many plays and programs in which many
members participated. Our play committee gave us great variety in our plays
making possible the interpretation of the Ways of different types of people.
We sincerely hope that the future members of the Ninth Grade Drama Club
will enjoy it as we have.
ALLEGHENY HI-Y
THE Allegheny4Hi-Y h-as faithfully met each week in room 207 except at
times when wewent for a swim at the Allegheny Y. M. C. A. The Hi-Y
again brought Dr. Clausen with his inspiring message to Chapel. Mr. Magill
has joined the Junior and Senior Hi-Y 'together and expects a large member-
ship next semester. The officers of the club are: President, Boy Metzler, vice
president, Robert Iman, secretary, William Kersey.
TENTH GRADE DRAMA CLUB
TENTH Grade Drama Club meets every Friday in room 305. We try to make
it a habit to have a play. each week. This semester there have been a
great many interesting plays, some of these being, Wiho Says Cr1.n't, Farewell
Cruel World, Anybodyis House on Monday Morning. There were also two
interesting dialogues, The Artist, and The Dance. The Assembly performance
for this semester was entitled, A Little Prison. All plays are in charge of stu-
de11t managers.
THE staff of the Year Book and the Class of January 1936 extend a deep
feeling of gratitude to the Clubs and Organizations, the Home Rooms,
the Faculty and Principals of this school for their generous help and Hne

FUTURE CHAMPIONS
HISTORY is in the making. No, not another war, not the Braves winning
the pennant, but Allegheny's basketball team has started another of its
successful seasons. Coach Springer has moulded his fine material into a win-
ning combination and the results we are sure will be more than satisfactory.
The team is composed of experienced players of which, the majority are letter-
men from last year. But one of our greatest regrets is that graduation takes
Richard Mandera from us before the completion of the basketball season. Dick
is one of our cleverest players and he will be greatly missed by the team. Well,
all we can say is: So long, Dick, and we hope you keep up your fine basketball
career. V ,
Coach Springer thinks that this collection of players are on a par with
the best he ever worked with. They include: Stott, Luther, 0'Neil, Burtnett,
Mandera, Gibson, Balitsaris, Sobehart, Visciarelli, Halburt, Duffy. Riley,
Brown, and F. Duffy as managers. They have already started their season in
excellent form and if I duin't miss my guess, Allegheny's basketball team of
1935-36 is going to the top. '
Here are brief summaries of three pre-league games:
Allegheny High Scihool Alumni-This game showed what a fast breaking
outfit we had. The Alumni coufld not cope with our brilliant attack. The
game looked like a battle at first, but when our offense started clicking, we
could not be stopped. Mandera was high scorer. Burtnett and O'Neil played
a fine game also. The Alumni stars were Tuturici, the game's highest scorer,
Bill Barker, and Ches Adams. Mose Birsa added .a bit of humor to the game.
Allegheny-Swissvale-Our boys had a real figtht on their hands against a
cool, smooth, and fast passing team. The game was hard fought the entire
time, but Allegheny managed to keep ahead the last half. Swissvale had
brilliant teamwork, but didn't have the consistent attack that we displayed.

MANDERA--HIGH SCORER
The scoring was shared quite evenly, but again, Mandera proved the tops. It
was the first set back that Swissvale suffered.
Allegheny-Crafton-Our first defeat of the pregame season was suffered
at the Crafton floor. It was our first game abroad and our boys were getting
used to the floor conditions. As the second half started, our boys put on a
brilliant scoring spree, but we couldn't quite catch up. Crafton was held to
a single point the last half. It was a hard, rough game, and our reserves
showed real fighting spirit the last hailf.
Allegheny-Swissvale-Success finally went 'to Swissvale .after a hard strenu-
ous game. The Alleghenians played a great game hut the breaks were not
with us. The score was as follows, Allegheny 25-Swissvale 26. '
Allegheny-Aliquippa--Success was with us in this game. The team was
very much at ease, and not nervous at the start of the game. Every player
did his part in co-operating with the team as one. Aliquippa was not a push
over either. They played a very good game, they are classed as champs. The
game finally ended with the score in our favor. Allegheny 27-Aliquippa 24.
CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
Three miles of 'tiresome toil
For triumph or defeat.
Running for us, Alleghenians loyal,
The cross country team in the meet.
OF all the teams in Allegheny the Cross Country receives the least recogni-
tion from sport enthusiasts. But the ranking of the Red and Blue has
been raised to the highest by the athletes who represent us. These boys have
been mentioned before, but we feel sure that Coach lVIi3ller's team should
receive from the out-going Seniors a hearty cheer. YEA?--Faulkes, Miles,
Horn, Pannier, Puffner, Wunderly! YEA Team!
TILL WE MEET AGAIN t
OBVIOUSLY our athletic seasons are over. And by all indications it may
be the last one in our good old Allegheny I-Iigth gym, where we have spent
many pleasant hours, 'played hard to win, .and formed many lasting friendships.
I envy you lower cliassmen who still have other basketball seasons here in
Allegheny, even though it may not be in our old gym, the fact that you may
he playing in a new modern up-to-date gymnasium makes me envy you more.
Every now .and then I wish. I could stay, but since I cannot, I hope we Seniors
fhy the next basketball season--ailumnij may return to participate in a game
in the gym, new or old whichever it may be.
I have often wondered after reading the diflierent Writeups just how it
feels to do a thing for the last time. Now I know. Since If've ha-d this ex-
perience, I am somewhat wiser and very thankful that there is yet a chance
for me to relieve my -conscience. If everyone of you could know in advance
how it feels to do a task for the last time, I am sure you would find more
enthusiastic participating in the games. The volleyball tournament, which is
our next tournament, and then the tennis tournament will find one very en-
thusiastic enthusiast, because experience, the best teacher, has taught me: you
get from a game just what you yourself put into it.

You can borrow one, but you can not obtain the
other that way-it must be won on merit and sustained
by a desire to be on the square with everybody.
On one's way to accomplishment, popularity is quite
a hazard and often is driven out of existence through failure
to recognhe H as an asset
The confidence manifested in The Busy Corner, through
the continued patronage of one single customer, regardless
of how small may be her purchases, is worth more to us
than the equivalent amount in clear profit.
Money is not alll Money is good for only what it
buys, and as we said before, one cannot buy confidence
or borrow it-it must be won and we lcnow from past ex-
perience that the only sure way to win it and hold it, is
to be on the square with everybody.
