We is you and me and all of us in the United States of America. And trusting God means vve give ourselves, all of ourselves, the whole United States of America, to God, the great One. Yes . . . perhaps . . . is that so?" Carl Sandburg. Carl Sandbur9's "Good Morning America" we believe not only possesses the significant atmosphere of this boisterously healthy republic but likewise portrays our own peculiar civic industrialism, and in turn, the progressiveness and youthful promise of our high school. lt sym- bolizes us, us of today, us the moderns. Stopl Loolcl Listenl while we fashion our records to the strains of Sandbur9's potent melody. It is our themel It is our song!

After being graduated at Shippens- burg in 1917, he entered Franklin and Marshall College. During his college career, our principal played football and basketball. For two years C1990-1991D he was captain of his football team. He was graduated from Franklin and Marshall in 1999 at the head of his class. At the University of Penn- sylvania, Mr. Gilbert earned his M. A. degree in 1998. He is now working toward his Ph. D. which he intends to obtain at the University of Southern California. Mr. Gilbert had a great deal of teaching experience before coming to Altoona High, in rural and city schools, in normal and high schools. For a while he was Dean of Men at Shippensburg and later accepted a position as mathematics instruc- tor at Girard College. In 1997, Mr. Gilbert was chosen principal of Lansdowne High School, in 1930 he was elected our own principal . . . AND ARE WE GLAD! Mr. Madclocks, our assistant principal, was graduated from our own High School in 1917. From here he went to Juniata College. ln 1918, he transferred from Juniata College to Penn State, where he earned a B. S. degree in 1991. While a student at Penn State, he was Circulation Manager of the PENN STATE ENGINEER. He was also elected a member of the Scarab Fraternity, an honorary architectural fraternity. Immediately upon his graduation, Mr, Maddocks came to Altoona to teach. For eight years he was an instructor in mathematics at our High School. ln 1995 Mr. Maddocks was awarded his Master's degree at Columbia University. During the years 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 he served as the Director of the School District Evening School. In his eighth year of teaching, his conscientious efforts resulted in an advancement to the position of assistant principal, an office which he now holds. i Page Ten Y 4 1 YJ?

INTRODUCTION HE past is gone, but we do not wish to part from the memory of it. To every road there is an end, but this is not the end of ours. We have just approached the crossfroads, from where we are able to obtain a better view of the various byways of life, one of which each of us shall follow. Some perhaps will continue on the broad road of learning, but many of us must turn from it, to pursue a course unaccompanied, perhaps for the rest of our lives. Before parting, let us stop to look back over our cherished memories of dear old A. H. S. In this last record of our high school career, WS sucpmit an account of our deeds, by which we may be remembered and Ju ge . CHAPTER I Every undertaking must have its start, however small. Successful as our class has been, it had a very humble beginning. It was in the Fall of 1928- September 3, to be exact-a crowd of noisy, confused youngsters, which considered itself very much grown up, slowly wended its way to that huge mass of brick which holds that coveted key to "Knowledge," each individual trying his best to ap ear as though this unusual happening was an everyfday occurrence. Before tlie day was very old, however, many of the wiser memf bers of our group had lost all outward signs of selffimportance and dignity. Which of us does not remember that first day we entered the realms of higher learning, each in hopes that he might be taken for a Junior instead of a puny Sophomore? At first, we were very much confused by the maze of corridors, but finally, after many vain efforts and embarrassing predicaments, we managed to find our proper places. Gradually we assumed our rightful posif tions among those spacious walls of learning, and proceeded with vigor to absorb the knowledge which they contained. Then came that indefinite period of hazing, a concoction of the upperclassmen which needs no explanaf tion. Such sport as they enjoyed at our expense, I am sure, afforded the vicf tims as much amusement as it did the tormentors. Before many weeks had passed, however, because of our untirin efforts to obtain knowledge, we won the sympathetic recognition of the faculty as well as that ofthe upper' classmen. With no further events of importance to record, due to the monopolization of activities by the juniors and Seniors, our year of initiation rapidly drew to a close, and we impatiently longed for those better days when we should pass on to the much safer haven of the junior class. With little reluctance Page Seventy F' tl l In A I r Nl 'A r lQ 4 .i 'Q I l v U 'll l"! af 513 i . . E9 , . , V, ET .1 ff s... we vacated this humble estate, and with considerable relish we anticipated the time when our Sophomoric successors should arrive to relieve us of our onerous burdens. CHAPTER II joyously we returned the next September to take up the studies and joys of juniors with increased enthusiasm and the realization that we were no longer neophytes. We could now make our way about the halls of our Alma Mater without having murderous epithets hurled at us. We were smaller in number, but greater in experience. The additional members from Juniata made up for the otherwise natural depletion in our ranks. In a very short time these students became a very conspicuous part of our school, and from their number we received many prominent persons. As a class we took all the rights and privileges granted to Juniors over Sophomores, besides adding a few of our own. Nevertheless, we treated them with all due consideration, employing the golden rule in all our dealings with these harassed underlings. During this year many of the school's prominent athletes were members of the junior class. We had an exceptionally fine record in athletics. A mem' ber of the Junior class was chosen captain of the championship football squad. Eighteen other members of the squad were likewise recruited from our number. Furthermore, a Junior was elected captain of the basketball team. An event of much importance that occurred during the celebration of the johnstownfAltoona football game was the memorable walkout. This naughty rebellion will long be remembered by the mutineers as one of those diversions which interrupt the monotony of school life. With the exception of the socials, however, our Junior year was rather uneventful. The concluding events of the year were the Prom and the Picnic. The junior class had practically abandoned all hope for class organization. However, much to our surprise, we were permitted to organize during the early part of the second semester. The class made excellent progress under the leadership of the oflicers elected. We had at last arrived "at the beginning of the ends" the Seniors insisted that they had shown us the Way, the Sophomores said they had boosted usg but we maintained that we had reached the top through our own valiant efforts, and that "you can't keep a good class down." With great expectations for success, after having surmounted all the necessary obstacles, we prepared to enter the last year of our high school career. CHAPTER III However sad, everything that has a start must have a finish, and so it is with our class. We have found that the duration of our high school career was entirely too short for the accomplishment of our purposes and the making of thorough friendships, but we are satisfied that we have made complete use of our limited time in A. H. S. When we came back for our last term, we Page Seventy-one 1 . 1 ,, ' Q 1 ' A Ill: un v p 'I T1 - 1 l 'll l I ll, G ll.. -.,5'i1.. .1 15:4 T r v 1:l l ll?

Without throwing oifg any of our natural "jolliness" we had acquired something that will help us when we are thrown out into the cold world. After having pushed the Seniors of 1930 off the ladder of success, we ourselves stood on the last rung in our school careerAa jumpingfoff place in our lives. Many of our noble group had already prepared to jump, but in their haste had slipped and fallen. We have read somewhere that "many are called, but few are chosen." So it has been with us. Many enthusiastic students started the long climb with us. Some waited for the elevator, but were left behind, others tried to ride, but "ponies" are not tireless climbers, and they tarried too long by the wayside, a few did succeed in rising by hanging onto coatftails, so to speak. However, we are satisfied that the best last the longest, and that those of us who are here are pretty good stickers. We are glad that we can terminate our high school career with a year so outstanding in the history of our Alma Mater as that of the year "1930f31." Although we were not State football champions this year, we feel that our football season was a huge success. We gave our loyal support to an excepf tionally fine basketball team, and our excellent school spirit at the games must be commended. We received many compliments on the success of our annual revue, "The Horseshoe Follies of 193O," which has been hailed as one of the best displays of local talent ever presented. To say the least, our debators were capable of "holding their own" in argumentation. In all modesty, the Senior class of 1931 can rightfully claim a great part of the credit for the success of the new 'Home Room System,' because of its splendid cooperation with those in charge of the project. The socials of our Senior year were especially successful, and were enjoyed immensely by all those who attended them. When our class was organized early in the Fall of 1930, a capable corps of leaders was selected. The success of the class was due largely to the untiring efforts of these earnest workers and to them we offer our cordial thanks. We did not realize the end of our school life was so near until we were abruptly forced to face the fact that the time for final exams had arrived. The crowning event of our Senior year was the Banquet. This was held at the Jaffa Mosque, and was perhaps the most elaborate event of the year. As the Senior year comes to a close we see the hand of good fellowship and good spirit ever tightening and drawing us closer to those things which we hold most dear. In these concluding lines we all express a hope that in after life the memories of our high school days at Altoona High School will bring us cheer. Now that we have approached this longfsoughtffor oal, we look back over the past few years with a feeling of satisfaction mingid with one of sadness,-and so "Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been ,... A sound which makes us linger, yet . . . farewell !" Page Seventy-two HAI n541nnff"'V' 'ma ,. ,A U lx. ,E-rg?--..,, "WI A e 1, J e , wifi- " n T e fi-1411',1,f-in - Q , f e o ' wfknnfnn K0 me f f L..

It was in the Fall of 1928 that the class of '33 was first assembled in Roosevelt junior High as eighth graders. In those days, being downtrodden lowerfclassmen, we worked hard, always with one eye on our goal-the honorable status of Freshmen. Even in our lowly state we began to develop that school spirit which we were to carry over into school. Our school had a champion football team, and the knowledge that our men were the gridiron heroes as well as the reportfcard sharks of the next year, spurred us on to greater efforts. On Recognition Day we suddenly had placed on our youthful shoulders the responsibility of being FullfFledged Freshmen, or, The Pride of Roosevelt. How serious we felt! And how we resolved to be paragons of virtue, etc., etc. And How! After a vacation long enough for our noble resolves to turn into a determif nation to run the school and have a good time, we took our places as Freshf men. We held an election and when the smoke of political battle cleared away, Sheldon Ehringer held the post of school president. When we had passed through the agonies of midfyear exams, we prof duced our annual play, "The Toreadors," the remarkable success of which was a credit to our class. ' Then Recognition Day came again, we suddenly found ourselves facing the ordeal of being lowerfclassmen after only one year of grace. On September 2, 1930, we confidently entered A. H. S., convinced that we were going to set the world, or at least high school, on fire. But we were disappointed-hsadly disappointed. No one welcomed us as intellectual mar' velsg no one saw among our numbers potential Norma Shearers or John Gilbertsg no one recognized our athletic prowess, or even appeared awed at the sight of our blue sweaters and "R" pins. The painful memories of that first day are alleviated only by the fact that our principal, Mr. Gilbert, entered with us to assume his duties. But soon the joyous news came out that we were to be the first sophomore class in A. H. S. history to organize, and on December 15 we elected officers. The rest of the year was not particularly eventful for us, excepting the Sophomore Social, which was a big success. But we took part in almost every activity and did our best to become an eilicient part of the school. CLASS OFFICERS President ......................... ..... W ilbur Kane Vice President. . .........

V SAMUEL ALBRIGHT Sammy was one of the "Briteflites" of society. With his gay personality and delightful programs our socials were certainly enormous successes. EUGBNIA ANTHONY "Gene" is our most athletic girl. She was captain of the basketball team this year, a member of the hockey and baseball teams, and president of the Girls' Athletic Club for two years. We hope you'l1 make the Olympics some day, "Genie" MARIT BECKMAN This young Swedish maiden is one of the most prominent members of our class. It was through her leadership as Editor of the Horseshoe, that our Annual was such a success. Marit was a member of a great many or anizaf tions in the school, including the Honor Society and the Senate. Besiges she took important parts in the Girls' League plays, Rollo's Wild Oat, and Friend Hannah. FLORENCE BERMAN Florence is our school's modern Portia. We can't say that she saved a life by her elocution, but she certainly helped make a name for our debating team. "Flocky" is also a member of the Honor Society and the Associate Editor of the Mountain Echo. Louisa BLACKBURN Everyone likes her, including the boys, and especially . . . well we'd better not mention names. "Teedie" is one of the best sports in this world. You just can't help but feel gay with her around. She is a HallfPatro1 lady, a member of the Senate, of the Mixed Ghorus, the Chapel Choir, and is president of her homeroom. This year she was voted the best looking girl. Take a look and see for yourselves! NEIL BLAKE Neil is the successful treasurer of the Senior Class. He knows how to get us to pay our honest debts. He looks quiet and demure on first glance-but girls, beware. He doesn't own those dark eyes for nothing! JOHN COCHRANE The Rudy Vallee of l931Mthat's what we prophesy. John has been out' standing in music because of his fine tenor voice. Good luck, John. THELMA DIEHL "Teddy" was one of our nifty little dancers in the annual shows. We don't know what to expect her to beg perhaps a dancer for Ziegfield, a snake charmer or a reformer. As it is, she may turn out to be our advocate of meat' less meals. She's a vegetarian, you know. Page Seventy-eight EVA Fouss Three cheers for our Valedictorian! I wouldn't be afraid to bet two bits that Eva burnt more midnight oil than any other Senior, but then her records show it. She is a member of the National Honor Society and has two Girlsl League Honor Roll pins. AL FRIEDMAN Whoopee!! And now for some tonsilftickling "gags" "Dub" not only is one of our cheer leaders but also a contributor to the Mountain Echo. He was a member of the Senate, too. ORA FRUM Ora is the secretary of our class-quite a talented one, too-one of high school's dark beauties. The Annual Show was graced with Ora as one of the leads. Singing her way through high school and winning many friends. how could Ora be anything other than popular? CHESTER GAINES Another football player cometh but-so extraordinary. He not only served A. H. S. on the gridiron but served, also, before the footlights. Chet is dark, tall, goodflooking, and best of all he dances, and how! - MARY GEIB Perhaps the first girl in A. H. S. to make the "Garbo Bob" famous,-that's our Mary. She couldn't be satisned with being a member of the Honor Society but also was Secretary of that intelligent group. WYATT GENTRY Enter the ladies'man-and with the presence of the Gentry personality the senior socials start in a mad whirl. Information about his scholastic ability can be had from Miss White. But he's a great old sport and we all like him, despite his tendency to become the tired business man. DONALD GROVE Our class president is one of the most popular vocational students in the school. He was president of the Student Council way back in junior High, and has been on our Hall Patrol for three years. RAYMOND HAGER "What is there about you, Ray, that makes all the girls so willing to walk down the halls with you? It must be your romantic Spanish eyes."Ray was the handsome Duke of Chandos in the play Friend Hannah. ROBERT HAIGHT His freckles show that he's no angel! "Bob" is the president of the Honor Society. If you don't know Bob, you've missed one of the finest specimens of our high school. His personality 'mills you with cheer and satiates you with belief and trust in the human race. RUTH HALL Ruth is one of the most studious persons in the whole school. How do we know? She was Salutatorian of our class! She belonged to the National Honor Society and received a Girls' League Honor Roll pin each year she was in A. H. S. Page Seventy-nine . "5 f lll ln E l 'l .tx ,qv , .

She is the Associate Editor of the Horseshoe, and was president of the Honor Society the first semester. DON HUDSON I wonder who this Fairview personage could be? Don Hudson to be sure! He was head cheerleader this year, you know, to say nothing of Interlocuter in the Annual Show, president of his home room, a member of the House of Representatives, and so On. And how he does love his Fairview! CLOYD KERLIN It's too bad "Beanie" doesn't wei h more. Still, some pretty fine things come in small packages. Our footbal team lost a peach of a player on that account. He was one of the funny fellows in the shows. MARJORIE LEONARD A real old pal is "Marge", You don't know what you're missing if she isn't among your friends. She's always ready with a cheery word and smile. "Marge" was vice president of the Girls' League and belonged to the Honor Society. HARRISON LIBEY "Bofhoo . . . sniff . . . sniff, where's my hanky?" Well I think we'll all admit he's a pretty ood actor. Harrison is an excellent debator, too. The future generation wii probably behold him in Barrymore roles. CLEVE MCGARVEY Don't you believe that all the heart throbs he causes are due to his voice. Cleve is really very handsome, isn't he girls? He is one of the most important figures in the music department and has taken leading parts in the annual shows. JOSEPHINE MCKERIHAN Oh, how she fascinates the men! "Jo" is one of the popular members of the class. She is tall, slender, has light curly hair, and brown eyes. "jo" was the treasurer of the Girls' League. HELEN REITH When she makes her debut in opera we'll all be proud to say "Oh yes, Helen was graduated from A. H. S. in the class of '31, As a Ha1lfPatrol lady, and a member of the Honor Society, she has made herself prominent in the doings of our school. GEORGE ROBINSON George is an example of the fellow who gets into things. He belongs to the Honor Society, the HifY Club, is the recording secretary of the Boys' Federation, and serves on the decorating committee of the senior class. EDGAR SALKELD "Do you use Palmolive, Edgar? Or is it just the carrots you eat?" It's not, "Where'd you get those eyes," but "Where'd you get those cheeks." Eddie was captain of the HallfPatrOl and he took an important part in the "Follies" Page Eighty GRACE SAVAGE "Our belle of 1931." She certainly has a winning personality, not to speak of grace and beauty. She was our Girls' League President, Chairman of the Social Committee, and Secretary of the School Conduct Committee. Ever since we can remember, Grace has held the position of "most popular girl" in her class. May she always keep that appellation. LOUISE SCHWADERER Our faithful secretary of the Girls' League again makes a bow. Louise has been outstanding for her dramatic ability and as chairman of the decoratf ing committee, Miss Schwaderer has made the socials quite picturesque. CHRIS SELWITZ Chris has always been active in school affairs. He is the manager of the HifY basketball team, belongs to the Honor Society, and is a Hall Patrol man. He is this year's business manager of the Horseshoe. JAMES SHOENEELT James had an awful struggle with his Latin but finally conquered Rome. Maybe he influenced the teachers with that pleasing manner of his. James is well known and well liked. We wonder if redfhaired people spur you on to greater things, Sonny Boy. PHILIP SLEP "Phal" is our most popular boy, and we just can't imagine a senior social without him there to make it go. Many, many years from now when we're sitting around our cozy fireplace, we'll startle the betterfhalf, Che or shej, by a sudden lit of laughter. But no, we aren't crazy-yet-we're thinking of the Ndashingfblack prince" of our Annual show days. "Phal" had his ponies to ride, too. We all hope they'll change into horses someday. ROLAND VERMONT Roland Vermont is the type of fellow you'1l be proud to shake hands with. He's got real stuff in him. The Mountain Echo owes a reat deal of its success to him. We predict a brilliant future for you, Roland. JENNIE WAXLER Jennie is a willing worker, as all accounts of her show. She belongs to the Honor Society, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Senior Class Refreshment Committee, and is the Editor of the Handbook. Jennie also received a Girls' League Honor Roll pin every year in A. H.S. We expect her to be a real senator some day, we don't look for anything less. CHRISTY WHITBRED The weaker sex takes the upperfhand. For the first time in the history of A. H. S. a girl held the highest executive position in student government. Congratulations, Christy! Christy was also an active worker on the Hall Patrol and a member of the Honor Society. Next to Gene Anthony, she's our best athlete. You should see her with a hockey stick. So long, other team. BETTY YON A striking personality takes the stage. Betty is a darkfhaired, darkfeyed, vivacious, and popular fellow student. She has "that certain something in her style" which makes all who know her want to be her friend and all who don't, anxious to meet her. Page Eighty-one v I ll. ll ,Q - P l .

The Man with the Nose for News, broadcastin his weekly Items of Interest. Well, folks, I have plenty of scandal? for you this week, so gather 'round The first round goes to Mary Geib, neither Miss nor Missus, if you please, for Mary has just smashed the world's record for divorces. Yes sir, she divorced that Russian count at 3:41 Eastern Standard Time yesterday, and at 8:02 Pacific Time, one day later, she had become engaged to her old flame, the Count of Monte Carlo. Going on to something more highbrow, a group of literary lights, include ing Florence Berman, famous authoress and lecturer, Roland Vermont, America's poet laureate, Dorothy Housum, leading newspaper woman of Cincinnati, and Marge Leonard, playwright and critic, have pronounced Harrison Libbey's interpretation of "The Old Rascal," the most realistic performance of the year. The same committee commends Betty Yon for her Ene acting in the "Mad Woman." Miss Yon played the title role. You remember, of course, that last year they gave Louise Schwaderer the laurels for her histrionic ability, and rated Dalton Lotz, the greatest comedian gracing the stage. Speaking of dramatics, l'd like to recommend several movies to the flicker fans in the audience. Tommy McNeal and Cleve McGarvey are cofstarred in "Mad Moments" and Cleve certainly does tear up the theme song, which, by the way was written by none other than Dot Lingenfelter. Another good show is "Three A. M.," directed by Bill Kelchner. The cast includes such celebrities as John Cochrane, Thelma Neuhart, Mary Fisher, and Ken Neugabauer, of the Dapper Dancers' Institute. I suppose you heard that since Derland Brown became Editor of the LADIES, HOME JOURNAL, he has added to his staff several prominent writers and artists. Arthur Clark is the new fashion editor. Floy Wright is women's sports editor, while Twila Roub is writing a series of articles on "Furnishing a Bachelor's Bedroom." The next item comes from dear old Sweden. Marit Beckman has amazed the literary world. Critics say she equals the late Selma Lagerloef. She has written books in English,German, Swedish, and Icelandic, and is to receive a Nobel prize for literature. Give her a hand, folksg she hails from Altoona, Pennsylvania. While we're in Europe, I might as well tell you the results of the Irish presidential election. It was a hot fight, but of course Albert Weidley, the Liberal Party's candidate, didn't have a chance-his brick throwing arm having been sprained on the eve of battle, so Edgar Salkeld is president of the Irish Free State. Page Eighty-two Now for the society news. The brilliant Mardi Gras festival was held in New Orleans yesterday with Miss Grace Savage as Queen of the Fete. The festival was sponsored by such prominent society leaders as Mr. Ed Binkley and his fiancee Miss Muriel Gossg Miss Hazel Gibson, and Miss Nell Ackerman, last year's debsg Carl Blowers, prominent stock broker, Miss Jeanne Stevens, Chicago's leading welfare worker, Miss Mary Pearce, Head of the Animal Rescue Mission in Bostong and Mr. Wyatt Gentry, this season's international golf champion. . . . just a minute Mr. McGregor, the owner of this station, will personally eject from the auditorium the next person who throws any groceries at the speaker . . . Go on, Mr .Friedman .... To go on, when I was interrupted. . . The romance of the week concerns Ivliss Marty Hibbs, a nurse, who recently married her millionaire patient, Mr. Robert Haight. Mr. Haight was severely injured when his chauffeur, james Casselberry collided with a wagon driven by Roy Dively. From New York comes the news that Sam Albright is producing Mlle. M. Hogue's latest opera. The main roles are to be taken by Helen Reith, Donald Hudson, and Gra Frum. At last the Great Marathon Dance is over! After 165 hours, 59 minutes, and 1M seconds, Ray Hager and his dauntless partner, Louise Blackburn, staggered to victory over 34 prostrate opponents. When they regained conf sciousness, the two athletes were awarded handsome furflined umbrellas donated by Isaacson's Department Store and presented by Mayor james Nelson. Philanthropy has not died out after all. James Shoenfelt, President of the United Cigar Co., is giving to the Gorhall Seminary, owned by Misses Ruth Hall and Maxine Gorsuch, 31.88, to rebuild the seminary, which burned down 19 years ago. The contract for the building has been given to the Wm. Geesey Construction Co. Of course no news talk is complete without a bootleg raid, so here's the latest. After a thrilling race across the Gulf of Mexico in a rowboat, Chris Selwitz, U. S. dry officer, captured single handed the S. S. Ananias, which was discovered to have been loaded with Latin ponies. Tsk! Tsk! The conf fiscated oods were shipped immediately to the Altoona High School, care of Phil Sip, head of the Latin Department. The ponies will be used by the Latin teachers to decipher examination papers .... Stand by for station announcements .... This is station F. L. O. P., Altoona, Pa. Your announcer is Bill Douglass, the ripping reporter of The New York Times .... Let me see!I was talking about school-oh yes! This year we have three great college coaches who came from the same high school. Carl Lobre, Navy football instructorg Vaul Rouzer, Northwestern basketball coachg and Chet Gaines, ping pong mentor for Juniata college, all graduated from Altoona High School, 'way back in '31. How time does fly! james Watter, President of the School Board, announces that the following changes will take place in the high school faculty. In place of Mr. Beany Kerlin, the present attendance director, Mr. Joe Hoofnagle will hold the position next September. Page Eighty-three illll 1 V . uni ali ll Ilflfi aj - T .v,' ., It . : I . l .

He was chosen for his prohciency in languages. Miss Lucy Rita has been appointed to fill a vacancy in the Mathematics Depart' ment which was caused by the untimely marriage of Leona Carter to the second doorftender at the home of Clayton Hippo, the senior partner of the HippofSchucker Gambling Establishment in Reno, Nevada. Miss Jennie Waxler will head the Domestic Science Department and Professor john Sawyer, Ph.D., M.A., B.S., B.V.D. will be second assistant janitor. Did you hear about the big rumpus raised at the RileyfDiehl Dancing Academy last night? Well, it seems that pupils gave a recital, appearin in the regulation costumes-purple striped night gowns reaching to their ankles. Rev. Francis Ensbrenner, who was at the recital, demanded his money back because he said it was too tame! By the way, let me remind you of the big reception to be held at Senior High tonight. Miss Hazel Ingold, dean of girls, is givin it to welcome the new principal, Mr. George Robinson. The patrons wil? be Frank Hinman, President of the Kiwanis Club, jo McKerihan, Dean of Highland Hall, Christy Whitbred, Girls' Athletic Director, Bernice Beaver, Altoona's inf comparable policewoman, and Marjory Crain, President of the W. C. T. U. The speakers will be Fred Wunderlick, Secretary of State, Dorothy Glunt, the reformed exfbeauty specialist, and Julius Small, warden of the county jail. There was also to have been a speech by Mary Keith, the famous evangef list, but a close friend of hers, Emery Phillips fell off the top of a sixty story building while working a riveting machine, and she is going to deliver a sermon over the remainss-if any. My dear people, did you know that Louisanova Glennsky, the Interpreter of the Spanish Dance is to give a private performance to a select few of her old Altoona friends? Her accompanist, Edgar Sweet, is well known in artistic circles, both as a great piano and as an accordian virtuoso. These popular perf sonages have given performances before all the crowned and uncrowned heads of Europe. Looking at my wireless teletype, I see that John O. Miller who was Altoona's starring Tennis Ace, has just defeated the younger La Coste in the Davis Cup Match, by a score of lOf8, 5f7, 6f1. The tournament was held in France. A few days ago, you will remember, he won the Wimbledon Match from Bill Tilden III. Well, folks, there's lots more to tell, but my time is up and Dr. joe White is here to give his little health talk. Next week I'm going to tell you all about the big merger between the Neil Blake Oil Company and the Don Grove Water Power Corporation. They say oil and water won't mix, but accidents will happen. Whatever you do, don't forget to hear Professor Jimmy Santella, who lectures here on Thursday on "My Life as a Prize Fighter" or "Why Men Leave Home." So long untillthe next time. Page Eighty-four ' Peep, Peep, Lady Pepysl "Look baclqg they are pinching their fingers in silver and gold snuff boxes" SEPTEMBER 4, 1930. School opened today and although I swore last Spring, that I never wanted to see the inside of A. H. S. again, I was glad to get back. You see, there are two new reasons to be glad: in the first place, we've got a new principal, Mr. Levi Gilbert, and something tells me we are going to like him a lot. All sorts of weird tales circulate about him-he's a regular mysf tery. He's tall, dark and-silent, when he talks, he says little at a time and says it slowly, butgboy-you soon know he means it. Another reason I'm glad to be back in school is that I am an honestftof goodness SENIOR! ! I admit that when I gdt to school today, nobody seemed to realize how important I was, but just wait! There was a senior meeting, and speeches were given by seniors about the new Home Room Plan. It seems that now, instead of having attendance room according to class, they're going to be all mixed up-seniors, juniors and sophomores. Personally, I think it's going to be fierce, but it probably will grow on you. Anyway, the way the faculty put it to us, what could we do? They told us we were going to be noble examples, etc., etc. But speaking of seniors: the isingfglass medal certainly goes to George Robinson, for in his speech he told us to "be nice to the sophs. Remember, always be kind to dumb animals." How's that? SEPTEMBER 8, '30, This morning in chapel we had quite a beautiful memorial service for our late principal, Dr. Robb. We sang his favorite hymns and heard several talks by his friends. Miss Turner spoke for the faculty, Don Hudson for the students, Dave Perry for the alumni, and Mr.Decker for the schoolboard. A certain teacher, who should have known better, sat behind me and rattled a bunch of keys all during the service. In spite of this, however, I was very much impressed. I was in high school two years under Dr. Robb, and I know that every word of tribute paid to his memory was true. SEPTEMBER 9, '30. Football took the limelight today, as "Snaps" Emanuel issued the first call for football candidates. I heard that some pretty seedy looking character showed upg but they get polished off as the season goes on-getting the rough corners knocked off, so to speak! Page Eighty-five Insl L H... I.

Not satisfied with refvarnping our home room system, the "powers that be" have now installed a new type of student council. It's just like the congress: a senate and a house. It looks to me as if the house is going to get hooked, for it's so big and unwieldy that it will probably not have many meetings. The Senate is a vague group, for all sorts of people that nobody seems to have elected are in it. But if the Senate takes on as much responsibility as the Student Council did in previous years, we should worry whom they drag in. But here is the real news! The boys have organized, Cat lastj and they are ghehBolys' Federation, sponsored by none other than Isaac Samuel Gress, y ec ! SEPTEMBER 19, '30. The first Mountain Echo was out today, and what did they do but feature a picture of our esteemed rincipal with a big WANTED right underneath! Imagine how the Echo willnrate with the authorities from now on. Heh! Heh! On top of that comes the news that the 1930 "Horseshoe" got First Honor Rating in the N. S. P. A. contest. That's fine, but wait 'till the 1931 Annual comes out! The staff is trying to beat that record or bust! SEPTEMBER 20, '30. Our opening football game was with Spangler and we beat them 59fO. That's a great start for the season and I hope we keep it up! Rah! Rah! Rah! A. H. S. has gone collegiate--with camel's hair coats Cand Campbellsj and fair cofeds 'n' everything! The student teachers are here to stay for six weeks, for better or for worse Cmarksj. I s'pose we'll have to make the best of itg believe me, there are some cute specimens. Of course the dark, handsome brutes will teach English and the big, dumb blonds will go in for Chemistry-that's life! OcToBER 9, '30. We elected our class officers today-and if you ask me, it was one of those dark horse elections. One of our noble ofiicers I wouldn't know, if I saw him this minute. But that's all right-they're a good bunch, 'cause Mr. Z. said so and he knows everything. OCTOBER 11, '30, One big daygthe dedication of the Mansion Park Athletic Field. Every' thing was impressive, especially the length of the speeches. The new broad' casting system seemed anxious to show off, for it not only carried the voices clear to Juniata, but it repeated every word four times, giving the general efect of a quartet. The team was decked out in new uniforms which looked just like undershirts--white trimmed in maroon. The Hollidaysburg team Page Eighty-six must not have known that our boys had new clothes on, 'cause they were awfully rough. Bert Crist should have told them, so they wouldn't have thrown our boys on the dirty ground. The American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps drilled at the half and in spite of the fact that it was the A. H. S. Athletic Field and not the forest of the Argonne that was being dedicated, they paraded so long, that our own natty band didn't get a chance to perform. Oh, by the way, we won that game: 7fO. OCTOBER 13, '30, We had our first senior meeting under our new officers and it was really funny. lt nearly ended in a riot, because they couldn't agree on the dues or where the banquet was to be held. Mr. Zetler says he feels like killing the person who suggested that the boys wear white flannels to the banquet. He wants them to wear blue denim overalls. OCTOBER 28, '3O. Today in the last period we were called to the auditorium to hear Tom Skeyhill. He told us the story of the attack on Gallipoli Cduring the World Warj-the most harrowin story I ever heard in my life. My dear, my mouth was hanging open like a hooked fish when Tom was through. And Marty Hibbs, who never gets steamed up about anything, just raved 'n' raved about him. NOVEMBER 1, '3O. The Iirst school social of the season came off tonite, and it was pretty successful. The decorations were cute-goodness knows, our gang slaved over them, hours on end! It was supposed to be a Johnstown reception, but the authorities canned it, so the Jawns had their own party over town. Another new thing: there was a victrola in the gym, with amplifiers and some warmfblooded souls danced over there. NOVEMBER 6, '30. The Boys' Federaton started its activities this evening by giving a radio program. Unfortunately QL-our radio is on the blink, but they say it was quite good. They have music, a sports talk, etc. and they're going to have a regular program all winter. Goody, goody! Page Eighty-seven I ..'U. I 1 i .., I . ax Ill .X It T I ll 4' bl. exit. ll 5 u ' -,. .

However, the big event of the day was the Girls' League play, "Friend Hannah." It was a period play Cdon't ask me what period. The costume company sent Queen Elizabeth dresses for Quakers D and it was acted beautif fully. The blind old king in the last act brought tears to my eyes--though I hate to admit it. A great fat man sat in front of me and as the curtain went down I heard him say scornfullyz "Damn fool play !" QSniff, sniif!D The perfect tribute! NOVEMBER 22, '3O. This day many a brave heart set out with gun and bag Cand Spearmint gumb to said Pennsylvania's wild life-Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Harbaugh, and others went bearfhunting. CHeh! Heh! I'l1 bet the only thing they're worf ried about is that. they might see a bear.D . NOVEMBER 24, '30, The adventurers returned today with no skins, but plenty of tales. And Mr. Harbaugh was the only one who had shot off his gun. It seems that Mr. S. remarked that Mr. H. couldn't hit a barn door, so the next barn door they came to, he took a shot at it. Yes, hegmissed it, dear, deary. NOVEMBER 25, '30. The Thanksgiving game was something to be thankful for, 'cause we licked Tyrone 33f0. The boys broke training for two days, and Chet Gaines says he never wants to see another pie. And then the feminine population was given a break by having late dates with the football heroes. DECEMBER 11, '3O. Well, maybe Mr. Lindaman doesn't deserve a bouquet! The Follies of 1931 went over so big you could hear the bang in Gallitzin. CSome of them heard a "pop."j The show just went clickfclickfclickg the costumes were elegantg so was the acting and singing. Even the usherettes looked cute in snappy maroon and white pajama effects. And the best number in the show was: "So long, Zetler!" a song, dedicated to P. A. Z. and his anticsas attend' ance officer. DECEMBER 12, '3O. The show went over just as big, but one of the best acts was banned by somebody, who didn't even see the show! Oh, well, they left in the most indecent part of the whole production-Sparrow Mannion in tights! Page Eighty-eight DECEMBER 13, '3O. However inauspicious the date may sound-the basketball season opened tonight with an Altoona victory over Spangler, 53f15. DECEMBER 15, '30, Can you feature this? The suffermores suffer no longer. Not only do they associate with their superiors, but they actually have all the privileges of upperclassmen ! They're organized. Yessir-elected officers. And'-added indignity- they're going to have a social! Well, any old year now I expect to hear about the Sophomore Banquet and getting diplomas for finishing 1Of1. DECEMBER 16, '30, Girls' League honor pins were awarded this morning, and the air was thick with hisses and resolutions. Half of us muttered: "She would!" every time a fresh mental precocity was dragged reluctantly forthg and the other half sniffed and swore solemnly to work harder. DECEMBER 19, '30. Today being the last day before the Christmas recess, petitions for early dismissal were in order. All our acquaintances dashed frantically about, catching trains to Aunt Aggie's or what have you, where a turkey dinner was cooling on the table. That's their storyg there are others .... Some of the rooms indulged in the popular horror of grabfbags. CYou know, where your sworn enemy gets your name and sends you-gif you are a boyssa milk bottle, or4sif you are a girlf-a date book without any pages in it.D We had a Christmas play last period, and everyone was properly imbued with the Yuletide spirit, especially those who were getting out of algebra. Merry Christmas! DECEMBER 25, '3O. 'Tis Christmas day, and rather than let us forget school, the Latin Club came around and moaned Latin carols under our windows, receiving pennies and sashfweights in gratitude. No. I don't mean all that, it was really too sweet, especially Arthur Clark singing soprano with an umbrella, mulller, galoshes and a bottle of Vapex. JANUARY 1, '31, Another year begins, and I hereby resolve not to make any resolutions for 1931. jo Mclierihan has resolved not to dunk her sponge-cake any more, and Hazel Stonebraker is giving up student teachers. 'But as for me, why make resolutions? I might keep them and think of the fun I'd miss! Page Eighty-nine 1,16 Hlffl P - . l .4 ,H i 5 .qi X "ua l ll . Ill, .lvl GQ.- J I " IK x Il I' I ' I I .

School was resumed, and everybody was glad to get back so they could show off their presents and compare hangovers. We got some free lectures on starting the new year right, but it would be more to the point if they'd tell us to end it right. As Charlie Botwright says, "It's a great life if you don't weaken too often." JANUARY 19, '31. Exams started today, and instead of being deserted, the halls are filled with CU exempted geniuses who come to school to parade superciliously about and watch the sufferers suffer, CZJ the common herd, who tear around, gabbling dates and formulas, C31 a few shameless creatures loafing around until the last signal, who, when asked why they're at school, brazenly afhrm that they're waiting for street cars. JANUARY 23, '31. Then came the report cards, and tragedy passed before our eyes. As usual, the ones with the brightest marks swore that they never expected to pass, while the flunkers di the strong, silent act. JANUARY 29, '31. Second semester begins today, with some classes unexplainably depleted and thousands of people wandering about the buildin sans study class. Mr. Maddock's office looks like a soup line, and Mr. Gifbert has to wear a bulletfproof jacket to prevent assassination by irate parents whose Willies didn't pass, all because Miss Whoosis had a grudge against them. FEBRUARY 13, '31. The lirst sophomore social came off tonite, and boy! was it popular? Seniors and Juniors danced while the Sophs played checkers and got extra helpings of icefcream. Pat was there looking like a fish out of water Ca big, long fishj 'cause-he says-he doesn't like to dance. The fact is, he's afraid some popfeyed Soph would sue him for breach of promise if he danced with her. Believe me, he's certainly discreet when compared with some of his confreres. The Sea Scouts turned out in full dress, and boys you never looked at twice before blossomed forth in natty blue suits. Jimmy Ruth says the things scratch like winter underwear-so beauty must be skin deep . . . or something. FEBRUARY 20, '31. They say fthe Juniorsj that the first junior gathering was the most sucf cessful social of the year, so far. The decorations, apropos of George Washf in ton's birthday, were red, white, and blue, and very elaborate. The study hall was crowded, but everybody seemed to be having a good time. And then the track candidates were called forth. Any day now we will see a pack of leggy giants galloping down Sixth Avenue clad lightly in track suits and lots of "ambish." Page Ninety FEBRUARY 23, '31. The senior girls had a meeting in the cafeteria this morning to decide on class colors and a class flower. Believe me, the boys were worried, 'cause they were afraid we'd choose orchids. A lot of good it would do us to choose orchid and yellow for class colors. They'd get us dandelions to wear to the banquet. MARCH 6, '31. The social of the year was the third senior social tonite. It was headlined in the paper, and all the celebraties of the district were invited. And the orchestra! You never heard the school orchestra so well prepared in your life. With Phal Slep behind the baton they actually brought jazz to a boil and strong men fell over at the shock. I wonder what or who made them practice. Balloon races, peanut contests, and other antics were featured, much to the enjoyment of all, especially Mr. Gilbert. MARCH 13, '31, This year will certainly stand out in high school history. The latest recordfbreaker is the faculty play, "Mr.Pim Passes By." The faculty play idea is a "Wow," for some of the teachers whose brilliance is wasted Within the four walls of such rooms as 215 and 224 may in the future shine before the admiring public. APRIL 8, '31. We fthe Senior Girlsl embarked for Washington today and the station was packed with Swains and Janes bidding as tearful a farewell as if each girl was taking off for a transfAtlantic hop. Some of the girls came staggering up in three inch heels and chiffon gowns much to our amusement and Miss Lentz's disgust. I suppose the school will be dull and dark without our fnonj shining faces, but think of the break President Hoover is going to get. Of course we want to see the cabinet where Mrs. Hoover gets the meals, also the lame ducks. They musn't be very good shots down there. Up here when we shoot a duck it isn't lame, its defunct. And I'll bet some people wish it was that way in Washington. MAY 31, '31. Baccalaureate Sunday. I remember last year as a Junior I sat in the choir and watched my friends, strangely sombre and serious, and wondered if I would sniff surreptitiously when the choir started to sing. Now I know why they sniffed. JUNE 1, '31. Meaning no offense but l'm going to sit out in the garden tonite with a BB gun. Several shieks in the neighborhood have been casting fishy eyes on our rose bushes, now that the banquet approaches. Page Ninety-one l l rr T .1 If...

Jennie Waxler is going to carry an umbrella this year because last year a waiter deluged her with coffee. Good idea. JUNE 2, '31. Now that the banquet is over, I hardly know what to say about it. Everything was so perfect that I can't express myself on the subject. Any' how, according to the custom of the class of '31, we had the banquet a new place-the Jaffa Shrine. When the banquet was over, everybody went home and went to bed. Oh, yes! But anyway, the worst is yet to come. Though this service wasn't so nervefracking, I know that I'm gonna about die tonite. It's funny. You talk all year about how you're gonna make whoopee on Commencement nite, paint the town, go to Johnstown for breakfast, and indulge in other revelries, but instead you go home and bawl. My only comfort is going to be that I won't be speechfmaking, with my proud parents listening to their wonderful daughter, whom everybody else thinks is a piece of cheese. Thank heaven at least, that we will have good speakers and good speeches, JUNE 5, '31. Oh Boy! do those Juniors know how to have a good time? The Junior Picnic was great. It was pretty hotg but we went swimming and a good time was had by all, especially a certain capricious Sophomore who, after drowning a couple dozen outraged Juniors, got ducked beautifully "hisself." Whether or not Walter Oswalt can do a swan dive or just fall off the board is still a disputed question. For some reason or other unknown reasons there was a run on The Old Mill. Naturally, the eats were the best part of the convivialities. Everybody got simply swamped with pickles, horsef radish, hot dogs, and other such nonfcombustible,nonfdigestible delicacies. Our asbestosflined stomachs came to the fore and nobly rescued us from the worst qualms and upheavals that were going on in our middle regions. JUNE 6, '31. ' Here I am on the last page of my diary-and I hardly know what to say. When I think of all those pages all during the year that I scribbled over with wily thin s, it makes me feel a bit remorseful. But still I must say that of all my school years this has been the happiestg of all my friends, the ones I had this year are the dearestg and of all the memories of my life so far these days are the sweetest. I think every senior girl or boy can echo with me those statements. Of course there's no use saying that I'll never have a better time than I had this year-that's not true, I hope. But Gee I-I certainly wish for the Juniors, who come to take our places next year, all the luck and the fun they can cram into one year of hard work, so that they can, at graduation, look back and say "One great time!"

Who remembers 'way baclc in the darlc ages of student publications when: CID The I-Iigh School Annual was devoted exclusively to the interests and activities of the graduating class, CQD there was one and only one sophomore member of the staff, CBD ye editor was a he editor? Light has been thrown on the subject, the darlc ages are past, and in our Horseshoe organization we now have: CID The Annual boolc devoted to all classes, C25 a record number of sophomores holding down positions on the staff, some of whom actually handed in their assignments when they were aslced to, C35 a lady editorl Cof all thingsl. Yes sir, Marit Beclcman is the above journalistic pioneer, and, for the benefit of the male slceptics among us, it was largely due to lVlarit's ready cooperation with the sponsors that the 1931 l-lorseshoe resulted in such a success. The sponsors, Mr. Williams and Mr. Lingenfelter, carried out their respec- tive duties as financial adviser and literary adviser in spite of many difficulties, Mr. Williams unravelled the mysteries of many a bungled-up receipt boolc, while Mr. Lingenfelter spent hours and hours tearing down and building up copy. While we are giving credit, we hereby express our sincere appreciation to the countless students and members of the faculty who so lcindly offered suggestions from time to time on the subject of ul-low to Write an Annual." This year's Horseshoe used a new idea in the way of a motif, or theme. Excerpts from Carl Sandburg's "Good Morning, America" were quoted throughout, and the binding, end-papers, the borders, and the art-worlc conformed to a modernistic motif, in complete harmony with the poem. The result was a uniformity and beauty that contributed much toward the general appearance of the book. Needless to say, the staff worlced hard and tried sincerely to malce the 'l93'l l-lorseshoe a credit to the class of '3'l.

The MOUNTAIN ECHO, during the year 1930-31, enjoyed one of its best years, for there were accomplished many progressive changes in editorial policy, as well as in newspaper makeup. Of notable additions to the work of the paper were a bi-monthly publication, the discontinuance of initialing editorials, the printing of class numerals after the names of all staff members as a part of the style-sheet, and the inauguration of a "Student Opinion" column for the publishing of signed student letters relating to matters of school interest In addition to these innovations to the paper itself, its staff personnel won laurels in the several journalistic contests of the school year. In the Ouill and Scroll National Association editorial contest, third prize and one honorable mention were awarded this publication, while in its first annual contest, the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association awarded to the MOUNTAIN ECHO second place in the Association's ranking of Pennsylvania school newspapers. The big event of the year, however, was the establishment of Altoona High's chapter in the Ouill and Scroll Honor Society, an honor society which will consist of present and future staff members and reporters, selected from the Senior and Junior Classes, whose work on behalf of the paper has been outstanding for each year. It is through this society, the character of which is a legacy left to future MOUNTAIN ECHO members, that this year's staff hopes to perpetuate the ideals of perfect scholastic journalism, toward the attainment of which it has worked throughout the year. To fill that most important post, the office of faculty adviser, Miss Wray offered her experienced services. It is no small task to assume the responsibility of publishing an issue of the school newspaper every two weeks. This work, however, was so thoroughly understood and carried out by Miss Wray that she won the general approval of the entire staff. Much credit is due her for the inspiration and for the untiring efforts she lent the MOUNTAIN ECHO staff. Success would not have been possible without her kind criticism and advice.

M iss Lentz For nine years the Girls' League has been an important link in the chain of helpfulness at Altoona High School, the while it has become more and more necessary, until at present it embraces a series of functions without which we should be sadly handicapped. Miss Lentz, Dean of Girls, deserves much praise and encouragement in her work of keeping this organization in satis- factory running order. It is perhaps worth mentioning that through her efforts scholarship awards were first instituted, one of the most worth while activities to be sponsored by the League. ln this regard it has lately been announced that three scholarships of one hundred and fifty dollars each were awarded to Ruth Zimmerer and Margaret George, students at Shippensburg State geichers' College, and to Eleanor Whitesel at West Chester State Teachers' o ege. During the first formal meeting of this year, following a precedent set some years ago, nominations for officers of the League were held, while the second and third meetings were given over to "boost" speeches and campaigns. The election was held on September 23, resulting in the following selections: President, Grace Savage, Vice President, Marjorie Leonard, Secretary, Louise Schwaderer, and Treasurer, Josephine Mclferihan. At the fourth general meeting the officers were installed with a very impres- sive ceremony. The president, Grace Savage, received the gavel. The book of records was given to Marjorie Leonard, Vice President, while Louise Schwaderer received the all-important minute book, and Josephine Mclferihan, treasurer, received the treasurer's account book to puzzle over. Esther Young played a group of piano solos as the closing number. The program of the fifth meeting was presented to us through the courtesy of the interstate Dairy Council under the direction of the Misses Jones and Elmwood. The exhibition was presented in the form of a style show. The models were members of the League. Thelma Musser modeled a gown repre- senting bath. Next, Ethel Shoop displayed the sports costume, then Louise Schwaderer appeared wearing a white wedding gown. Louise Nelson showed us an ideal traveling dress, while Sara Walker portrayed the dress for dinner wear, and then we were enchanted with Grace Savage's appearance in an exquisite evening gown. This last feature of the program the girls enjoyed very much. The sixth general meeting was given over to reports concerning vacation travels and experiences. The tabulations from the meeting are as follows: Page One Hundred Four Important Battlefields Lexington and Concord Dorothy Lingenfelter Antietam Hazel Cochrane Natural Wonders Niagara Falls Floy Wright Yellowstone National Park Minnie Ebeling Hot Springs, Arkansas lrene Dougherty Foreign Countries Canada Sarah Jane Moses Girls' Camps Camp lor Religious Education Vida Goodman Cedar Pines Marit Beckman The December meeting featured the Scholarship Honor Roll of the Girls' League. Honor pins were given to girls who attained an average of ninety percent in tour solids lor the year 1929-30. Recently sixty-nine awards were made, this being the largest number ol pins ever given. The awards included four gold, twenty silver, and forty-tive bronze pins. lwo gold pins won by Emma Berman and Lena Stoop, mid-year students, were set with precious stones because these girls had maintained their high standing lor lour con- secutive years. Mr. Gilbert awarded the pins, congratulated the girls on their success, and aslced that they continue the good worlc in the future. At the January meeting it has been the custom to have the Superintendent ol the Public Schools address the League. This year Mr. Laramy used as his theme, Hlhe Development ol World Mindedness. He discussed facts which l 551 Josephine Mclierihan Grace Savage Marjorie Leonard Louise Schwaderer Page One Hundred Five -i ft ii ii 1. fr Ll 4-Q i Ti- Ei ,i l 'x ' ,fi bf HQ. in all bl w- jl L i' if' ll. v 14 I .f .

After Mr. Laramy's inspirational tallc, Mr. Russell Gearhart's string quartet favored us with some selections. Grace Savage, the president, presented the school with the picture of Helen Sellers, pastpresident for the year 1929-30. This picture was hung with those of the other past presidents in the fourteenth street corridor. January 27, Dr. J. F. Wright, founder and Secretary of the "Pathfinders of America" gave an interesting and valuable address on "Reading the Price Tags of Life." The February meeting was in charge of the Dramatic Group of the Girls' League underlthe direction of Miss Ritts. A one-act play, entitled "The iMonlcey s Paw was presented. The list of characters for the play was: Mr. White Virginia Goodman Mrs. White Neechie Lozo Herbert Jane Findley Sergeant CMajor Norrisj Mary Elizabeth Wright Mr. Sampson Virginia Ebright The cast measured up to the high standard of worlc that has characterized the plays presented by this group. The March meeting featured the Annual Extemporaneous Spealcing Con- test conducted by the Forum group under the direction of Miss Emma Eberle. The general theme was "Outstanding American Women of To-Day." The spealcers and their subjects were: Adele Aichelman Schumann Heinlc Marjorie Aiken Helen Wills Moody Eleanor Gaines Edna St. Vincent Millay Lois Robinson Jane Addams Lorraine Shaal Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt Marian Rutter Judge Florence Allen Presidents of the other groups acted as judges and awarded the first prize to Lois Robinson, and second to Lorraine Shaal. Esther Young closed the program with a piano solo, a Beethoven waltz. The Senior Girls spent April 8 to 'l'l sightseeing in Washington. This annual trip has come to be regarded as one of their most delightful school experiences. The April general meeting closed the worlc of the year. Reports were given by the different groups on the year's activities. The president, Grace Savage, explained the plans of organization for "The Big Sister" movement, authorized by the executive committee for next year's program. The "Verse Spealcing Choir" from Miss McClure's Entertainment Group gave several very unusual numbers. And last of all, on May 9, the activities for the year T930-3'l, ended with the Senior Girls' dinner for their mothers. lt was a very fine social gathering and the fitting climax to a successful year, the biggest ever for the Girls' League.

Gress The chief aims of the Boys' federation were to help the boys of Altoona High School mentally, physically, socially, and morally, to help them find themselves in the school, the home, the community, and the state, to bring about a closer and a better relationship between the boys and the faculty of the school. ln short, the Federation worlced to serve the best interests of our boys and the school. To reach the most boys in the most effective manner, the federation offered membership in any of nine special groups or in a general membership. The special groups met every alternate Thursday while the meeting of general members and those of the special groups assembled, as a whole, on the other Thursdays during the activity period. There were three hundred thirty-six boys enrolled in the special groups and seven hundred eighty-five with general membership, malting a total member- ship in the Federation of eleven hundred twenty-one. Membership in the Boys' Federation was entirely voluntary on the students' part. However, in the future, since organization has talten place, it is hoped that the situation will be one in which every boy in the school will desire to participate. The Federation stressed guidance in various ways. It invited men of several professions to spealt to the boys in the general meetings. Their tallcs empha- sized the qualifications needed for success in their vocations, the compensa- tion, advantages, disadvantages, and such lilce. This was done on the theory that a boy might choose his life's worlc more wisely if he were familiar with the weala and strong points of the various vocations. The spealcers included Mayor John J. McMurray, Warden Maurice J. Hamilton, Dr. Richard Magee, and Reverend W. O. H. Garmen. ln addition to the above, a guidance chart and questionnaire was planned, it was proposed to have each boy of the school completely Fill out this record. From this it was hoped that much valuable information could be obtained and be lcept on file for the use of anyone interested in a particular case. The Federation planned several scholarships to be awarded to boys of the Altoona High School. Money for these scholarships was earned by the boys Page One Hundred Seven Qiul ,-r , i Pt ii i -rf I t .

Fifty percent of the profits derived therefrom, or 516789, was given by the federation to the Athletic Council. lhrough the courtesy of the radio station WFBG, the Federation conducted a weekly program lasting from 9:00 to 9:30 P. Nl. each Thursday evening. Many letters of appreciation were received from radio fans from nearly every state in the Union. Through these radio broadcasts there was uncovered con- siderable latent ability within the school. The Federation has helped to promote a better spirit of understanding and cooperation between the student body and the faculty. ln several cases of siclcness flowers were sent, and in cases of death, every thing possible was done to alleviate the misfortune. The Federation sponsored an athletic program of intra-mural sports including baslcetball, wrestling, and boxing. A student director and student assistants, chosen through the federation, were in charge of the worlc under the super- vision and help of the Director of Athletics. Besides having representatives of other vocations on our program, an invita- tion was sent to Dr. Caldwell of the Department of l'lealth to have him spend several days here to hold conferences and worlc with the boys. National Boy Week was also observed in a fitting manner. The members of the Federation had hoped to sponsor a spring visit to the nationfs capital for senior boys who desired to malce the pilgrimage. Because of the prevailing business depression, a survey was made to determine the advisability of such a trip. It showed that most of the boys had worlced during the past summer and were eligible for railroad passes. It was, however, decided to postpone this function until next year. Phil Slap Cleve McGarvey Frank Hinman William Dillon George Robinson Page One l-lundred Eight The Federation was slightly delayed at its inception by necessary organiza- tion matter, schedule adjustments, and so forth. Everything, novv that a good beginning has been made, points to a successful future. The boys fell in well with the programs and in several cases gave evidence of their Willingness to cooperate by volunteering at a moment's notice. The work done and the assist- ance given by faculty sponsors was of exceptional value. It is believed that the future holds much in store for this great movement in behalf of the young men of our school.

No other honor conferred by the school excels election to the Society. Qther honors students can gain are partial in that they recognize specialized ability, but this society sees education as a composite of the best in life. lts purpose, then, is to honor, not those who excel in one line of endeavor, but those who are outstanding in all the activities of school life. They must point the way and induce others to work for scholastic supremacy, to lead in giving service to worthy causes, and do all in their power to advance the welfare of the school. Four principles the Constitution holds fundamental in furthering these ends, and membership is granted only to those who have those qualities in a high degree. Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service are the four cardinal principles of the Society. The emblem, the lcey- stone symbolizing strength of ideals, and the torch which stands for the light of high purposes, is meant to lceep always before the student the qualities which will help him to succeed. The Altoona High School Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1929 when twenty-one Seniors and six Juniors were elected to membership. The Juniors provided the nucleus of the 1930 group. Members were elected by a board of faculty advisers which consisted of Mr. Zetler, Miss Stockton, Miss Bancroft, and Mr. Grimminger. During the past school term C1930-31D an enlargement of the Honor Society's activities was made possible. Twenty students were honored by election to membership, eight of these being from the rolls of the Junior Class. These younger members will carry on next year's worlc with a view to holding up above reproach 'the standard of the organization. The board of electors this year was composed of Misses Bancroft, McCartney, and Stoclcton, and Messrs. Caveny, Grimminger, Pohle, and Zetler. Qfficers of the club were elected by a majority vote and an office is tenable for only one semester. No one can hold an office twice. The Honor Society of 1931 held two initiations for incoming members, at which the emblem, the lceystone and torch, were shown to symbolize strength of purpose and the light of high ideals. The 1931 chapter managed the faculty play, "Mr. Pim Passes By." Page One Hundred Ten Cfficers FIRST SEMESTER President. .. . . ...,.

L11 r 114' W The Gregg Writer Club "We are not sleepwallcers. . . . We are the makers of speed," Sponsor ..... Miss Duncan The Gregg Writer Club was formed primarily to enable commercial students and others to develop etliciency and slcill in matters of commercial subjects. Notwithstanding this principal aim, of the twenty-one members enrolled each had her particular objectives in mind. Some few were seelcing cultural train- ing through the medium of the club, others considered their endeavors as leading toward vocational satistactions, while still others considered the dis- ciplinary value of the organization highly worth while to them. ln no case did any of the girls enroll simply for subject credit since none could be earned through membership in this club. A subject which would be talcen for no other purpose than to obtain credit toward a diploma or college entrance, and which yielded no other results, it was felt could not be classitied as having any of the three values aadisciplinary, cultural, or vocational. At the outset, then, this group of worlcers was encouraged by no False motives. "ln order to become a valuable part of any organized business endeavor a good secretary must be vocationally competent. Such competency results from an understanding of the socio-business studies of her chosen vocation and from a thorough mastery of her 'slcill subjects'. The development of this ability is the objective of all commercial studies." With these considerations in mind the Gregg Writer Club strove to attain the lofty ideals of its profession. lnasmuch as the writing and the reading of shorthand is a slcilltul art requiring practice, the Gregg Writer Club attorded opportunities to worlc out short- I A Top Rowhpfelfer, Reed, Behm, Logan, Nolan, Koozer Second Row ffBarr, McClain, Zeak, Stoner, Shaw, Dodson, Stitfler, Reifsteck Bottom Row -Sunderland, Price, Rhodes, Nader, Eardly, Haigh, Winkler Page One Hundred Twelve 1 Pi ti . l I, tl Law .If M L I O Q I ,L .43 i' Qi tit F. 1 FF if fl -In .Q ln V ..i i -4 n.. hand problems with dispatch. An effort was made, likewise, to gain a high standing for our school in this field. Qnly those students who had a year's study of shorthand were eligible to become members of the club, they were chosen on a basis of meritorious shorthand specimens submitted for the purpose. The notes presented were judged according to correctness of outlines, artistic appearance, lightness of touch, and smoothness of characters. All members of the club received the O. G. A. Certificate as an award on the first specimens. Qne member qualified and received a gold pin for the best written notes. Specimens were sent to the Annual Order of Gregg Artists Contest in March. The Order of Gregg Artists Contest is a national contest and the awards are given for the best specimens sent. The success of the Gregg Writer Club may be attributed largely to the interest and labor which the sponsor, Miss Duncan, expended in its behalf. l-ler untiring efforts were of the greatest service and club members extend to her their unanimous gratitude. . Student Award Made Through Annual ln lieu of a monetary recognition of accomplishments, the Commercial Department chose to make this year's award in the form of a recognition, published in the Annual at this place. from the results of the study that was made, Euretta Shaw was found to possess those qualities necessary to win the award. Eunice McCracken, Ardelle McClain, and Virginia Stiffler were given honorable mention. Euretta is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. f. Shaw of 417 first Avenue. She completed a secretarial course in addition to academic work, achieving exceptional merit in both branches. She has been an active participant in extra-curricular activities, especially in school publication work. Eunice McCracken, the daughter of Mr. and i Mrs. F. McCracken of 5902 California Ave- nue, completed the bookkeeping course and likewise satisfied requirements of the college preparatory curriculum. Ardelle McClain, among the youngest of her class, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. McClain. She completed the secretarial course creditably, with a varied program of studies. Virginia Stiffler took the secretarial course and achieved high scholarship in all her work. She is the daughter ofMr. and Mrs. A. Stiffler of ElClOl'ddO.

It was composed ol the home-room otticers from the various attendance rooms in high school. The otlicers ol the Senate oiliciated when a meeting of the l-louse of Representatives was called. The l'louse ol Representatives had an important taslc to perform in serving as the direct means of communication between the Senate and the student body. The members of the l-louse carried back to the home-rooms the sugges- tions and plans proposed by the Senate for consideration and action. The members ol the l-louse were responsible lor procedures in the home-rooms, for the regular home-room club programs, any special programs undertaken by the home-rooms, and all worlc connected with the development ol a model home-room and a good school in general. This has been the First year for the organization, and the l-louse ol Repre- senatatives has done a very creditable piece of worlc. It is the plan of the sponsors, however, to malce the l'louse a much greater Force lor student participation in the vital functions of the school.

Grove, Miller, and Heiler Early this year a group of students from the Vocational Department united in a permanent organization to be lcnown as the Automobile Safety Club. lts aim was to secure the approval and united support of the patrons of our school in furthering a program of prevention against automobile accidents. A constitution was drawn up which set forth this purpose and provided the parliamentary machinery for carrying it out. At the regular bi-monthly meetings of the organization, spealcers of note were persuaded to address the boys on safety topics. Resolutions were likewise drawn up and incorporated into a bulletin for distribution. lndividuals were sent out to give tallcs before the several organizations of the high school. And finally, a program was prepared and broadcasted at the local radio station. This club, although sponsored by the Automobile Shop, had members on its rolls from all departments of the school. So encouraging a start its,first season lends prospects for a greater organization next year under the leader- ship of Mr, Grove, Mr. Miller, and Mr. l-leiler. The size of the Automobile Safety Club virtually forbids the identification of individuals appearing in the accompanying group photograph.

Though athletic endeavor is almost as old an institution as Altoona l-ligh itsell, the idea ol a club for lettermen was a new one only four years ago. Now, membership in this club is coveted almost as eagerly as the varsity letter. The crowning feature ol the 1930-31 program culminated in the l.etter- men's Banquet, at which function letters were awarded to the varsity players ol the past year. The speal4er lor this year's occasion was the district head ol: athletics, Mr. Bentz ol Bedford County.

During the First semester the club supplied the "Mountain Echo" vvith cuts illustrating the seasons of the year, the holidays, special programs, and the lilce. These plates were made from linoleum bloclcs, a feature which materially reduced the publication expenses of the "Mountain Echo." Many ol these attracted favorable comment because ol their decorative value. The second semester vvas spent in craft vvorlc.

The members learned the various types of trees and the facts pertaining to their families and genii. They learned how to balance an aquarium and how to remedy diseases of aquarium plants and animals. ln the winter, the students started many cuts of trees and planted them in the spring. When studying landscape gardening, the club toolt several pictures of typical trees and shrubs, and learned how to group them together to securethe most beautiful eFfects. Of particular interest were the flowers and trees at Lakemont Parlc. The entire club journeyed to this nature spot to study winter characteristics, and later, the members again made the trip for the purpose of viewing the leaf and shade values. The club members were taught how to cultivate and persuade young plants to grow, how to repair old plants broken down by disease of fungus growths, and how to conserve plant growth. Under the experienced guidance of Miss Faust, the young nature lovers spent a most profitable year. Top Row-Piotrowski, Temple, Miss Faust, Sutter, M, Warsing Bottom Row-A.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Culler the several aspects ol contemporary drama vvere studied and discussed. The history ol this art, lilcevvise, was accorded no small attention in the general development of dramatics. The creative etforts ol the club resulted in the production of two very Fine plays. The First of these, "Nerves," was presented as a chapel entertain- ment during the second semester. "Merton of the Movies," a one act atlair, also was prepared for presentation. These performances vvere received with a great deal of delight, inasmuch as the plays were both entertaining and vvell prepared. Dramatics as a Boys' Federation activity is an innovation of less than a year's growth. The club, hovvever, has spent enjoyable hours in the company of many line plays and it is only natural to expect a continued interest in this type ol literary endeavor. preparations for next year promise much in the vvay ol worth while histrionic talent.

The team was composed of debaters from all three classes, sophomore, junior, and senior representatives performing with equal proficiency.

This sterling squad vvas coached by Miss McCauley and Miss Rodlcey of the Altoona l-ligh School faculty. Without the services ol these experts it is not too much to say that the high standard achieved by the debating team would scarcely have been possible.

No more important pursuit can be made the subject of an educational program than first aid. With this in mind, the organization earnestly sought to acquire a worlcing lcnowledge of this branch of surgery, in preparation for emergencies when they should arise. The third general edition of the "American Red Cross first Aid" was used as a textboolc during the past year. The girls also vvorlced with standard first aid equipment. During this course of training a variety of subjects were touched upon including bandages, types of wounds, shocl4, burns, brol4en bones, earache, nose bleed, articles for the medicine cabinet, and artificial respiration. At the end of the course junior first aid diplomas were granted to all those who passed their examination. The examination consisted of three parts: Qral, written, and practical application.

The club was of great assistance to the English department since it trained the pupils for spealcing in ordinary situa- tions and under practical circumstances. During the past year the club expanded greatly, enjoying quite a large advance over the previous year's enrollment. To the program ol other years was added a number of social aFtairs, prominent among vvhich were the alter- noon teas.

Miss Ritts The purpose of the Girls' Dramatic Club was to furnish a vicarious training in matters of oral English as vvell as to study the history of drama. Cf especial emphasis in the past year's program were the matters of voice culture and posture eattributes that are valuable to possess both on and off the stage. All the girls in the organization had an opportunity to better themselves in such particulars by talcing part in club programs and by offering criticisms of each other's worlc. The history of drama and the development of the stage were considered also as problems for study. Successful plays of yesterday and today were reviewed, while elements of critical observation were lilcewise taught. Two very fine plays, "The lVionlcey's Paw" and 'friend l-lannahi' received a hearty reception from a Girls' League audience. During the first vveel4 of May the Dramatic Club sponsored an afternoon tea in honor of the faculty.

During each meeting student discussions were pro- moted and resolutions passed on matters pertaining to outdoor life. At one of the Final sessions Mr. Dickey succinctly remarked, "We hope For the welfare ol our nation that our club can establish something worthwhile to perpetuate the greatness of mother nature."

Pohle Social, mental, spiritual, and physical needs of the young man Formed the basic purpose of the I-li-V Club. As a social organization the f'li-V demon- strated its ability in entertaining fathers and mothers at the Y. M. C. A. building on the occasion of its annual banquet. As mental training the members of the club were obliged to maintain a high scholastic standard. Ori the spiritual side the I-li-Y sponsored a Bible study class. Further, the l"li-V basketball team upheld the physical reputation of the organization, enjoying a most successful season. Grateful for the favors extended by the Y. M. C. A., the I-li-Y entered with enthusiasm into the annual "Y" membership campaign. It was a pleasure to reciprocate with a number of memberships. At the high school building the l-li-Y boys managed the discipline problem in the cafeteria. No more important taslc could be assigned to an organization than facilitating speedy restaurant service to famished youth. This worlc well done, gained a considerable reputation for the l-li-Y as an agency of dis- cip ine.

Mr. Zetler The l-lali patrol of the Altoona l'ligh School has been functioning suc- cessfuiiy for the last three years. This year it developed into one of the most powerful organizations of the schooi, having a membership of nearly seventy- five students. The aim of the patrol was to assist in carrying out the rules ofthe school, to direct traffic in the halis and lceep the students quiet and orderly, and to protect the property of the school in general. The patrol, under the sponsorship of Mr. Zetier, was led by Captain Edgar Salkeid and six iieutenants, Christy Whitbred, Louise Blackburn, Emery Phillips, Gladys Bathgate, Waiter Qswalt, and Jennie Waxler. The other members of the patrol had to be recommended by the faculty, before they were eligible to appiy for a position. ln the next few years it is hoped that the l-laii patrol will reach near- perfection in handling the traffic problems of the school. All students, to retain their positions on the patrol, have to pass all their subjects of the previous semester. With the requirements of this organization placed on so high a level it is believed that a great deal of progress will be forthcoming.

The chief aim ol the Hiking Club was to help its members learn about and appreciate nature's beauty spots, and to teach them the value ol protecting and preserving wild life. Hilces were talcen to Horseshoe Curve, Wopsononock, and the Brush Mountain Fire Tower. The First hilce was to Horseshoe Curve under the "Hunters Moon." Many members and friends enjoyed this outing which is not only an annual affair, but also one lor vvhich elaborate preparations are made each year. Several highly original social functions were promoted for the entertain- ment ol the hikers. During the Halloween season a maslced ball vvas held in the social rooms ol the Freiholer Building. Later during the winter months a series ol roller-skating parties were given at the Mansion Hall rinlt. Two other social events were enjoyed during the Thursday morning club period, these having been planned as surprises by the club sponsor.

The meeting was concluded by the singing ol the "Alma Mater." Un the seventeenth of December Saturnalia greetings were written in Latin and prepared after the Roman fashion. These were then sent to the teachers and executives of the school. Early Christmas morning, the club, together with part of Mr. Lindaman's chorus, sang Christmas hymns in Latin at the homes of its friends. This clever performance was so Well received that steps have been taken to make the Yuletide season an annual occasion for carol singing of this variety.

The club was divided into committees the names ol which were: Shelf Reading, Bulletin Board, Clipping, Magazine, and Program. During Book Week the club made a bookmark emphasizing the reading of biography. 'lvventy-six hundred copies were distributed to the students of the school. Scrap books from school libraries in several states were borrowed from the American Library Association. Methods and devices given in these books were studied and compared with those used in our school library. Three scrap books for our library were completed by the club this year. Une copy was sent to the American Library Association, one to our state library, and the third one kept in our school library.

Through the medium ol vvritten criticisms, class opinions, and readings, many of the vvorlcs of our contemporary literary Figures were discussed and evaluated. ln lilce Fashion novel types of unusual popularity were studied, such as local color stories, the psychological novels, negro Fiction, and the mystery and detective yarns. The place of the motion picture in the world of Fiction vvas also a matter for consideration. During the course ol the second semester the leading writers of the several important European countries were dis- cussed. The great Russian tragedies, the Scandinavian sagas, German realism, and the French technique, were the problems emphasized. A visit to the public Library proved instructive and profitable.

At the beginning ol the year's vvorl4 lor 1930-31 it was resolved that the school paper should be a lriendly tie among the students. Since friendship means so much in a high school as large as A. l-l. S. the club members decided their time well spent in the achievement ol this aim. They tried to produce a real nevvs carrier which informed its subscribers ol matters important to all students. Several statl members ol the Altoona papers visited the Nevvsvvriting Club and discussed nevvsvvriting and the Field ol journalism. This organization pro- poses to open the doors to a career in journalism lor some ol its members.

M i ss McCauley The Marionette Club, for the second year under the sponsorship of Miss McCauley, aimed to develop latent slcill and artistry inherent in all students. Membership in the club offered many opportunities to express one's indi- viduality. For those who were interested in dramatics there were the operation and the speaking of the marionettes, and for those whose taste tended toward the art of design, there were scenery and costumes to be planned and executed. There were also opportunities to express one's ability in the directing, staging, writing, and presenting of the plays. The members of the club gave several plays, among which were Hlaclc in the Beanstalk," "l-lansel and Gretelf' and 'Circusf' There were three lcinds of puppets used: the rag doll, the one made of wood, and the one made of Plaster ol Paris. These dolls were manipulated by hand control. During the two years of its existence the Marionette Club has enjoyed very lair success. So novel an organization cannot help but inspire a great many pupils to investigate this unusual art.

During the regular meetings of the club ditierent phases of parliamentary law were taken up. The ways of voting, precedence, main motions, secondary motions, order of business, and numerous other details were fully discussed. For a text the club used "l2overt's Rules of Qrderf' Different committees were sent to the various other club meetings in order to observe and to report on how these club sessions were conducted. The younger members of the Parliamentary Law Club plan to send out next year instruction sheets to the other organization of the school, informing them of feasible methods forthe Formal conduct of a club. With Mr. McAfee ready to supervise such a project, it is felt that much benefit can be derived from the vvorlc.

The principles of radio and short wave reception were discussed at the meetings. The club made a number ol visits which enhanced its conception of the possibilities of physics and radio. The Pennsylvania Railroad test plant pro- vided much valuable subject matter for discussion. The Gable-Tribune radio station was also visited, the operator explaining each part of the station in detail.

A complete re-organization was etlected during the past year through which agency were formed two responsible groups lor the development and execution ol student participation in government, namely, the Senate and the l'louse ol Representatives. The Senate was composed of two boys and two girls from each oi the three classes, and one representative from each oi the regular student organizations of the school. The Senate has been worlcing earnestly lor the advancement ol the school, talcing up such problems as: school law violations among the students, sports- manship at athletic games, facilities lor social events, trai-Fic in the hallways, and cooperation between the students, teachers, and parents. lt is to be hoped that this democratic, sell governing body may continue its good worl4 in guiding wisely student opinion toward sensible solutions of school problems.

Most Fascinating among the activities of the stage-craft group was the experience obtained in connection vvith the presentation of several school plays. Members of the club having previous experience helped to train others for the ditterent duties which devolved upon them as backstage specialists on theatre technique. With this practical work to their credit, in addition to the Fine instruction given by Mr. Hauser on the handling of different types of plays, the Stage- Craft Club members closed their First year's schedule with a very fair measure of success.

Mr. Wimmer The Zoology Club was composed ol students who found great pleasure in studying animal lile and the habitat ol those dwellers ol forest and Field. During the past year the club enrollment was rather small, though the enthusi- asm and interest ol the group compensated for the laclc of numbers. Reports on various phases ol science were discussed by the members. Boolcs and notable people in the Field ol Zoology were also given attention. The club, moreover, tool4 up a study ofthe conservation ol wild life. lnterest- ing tallcs on Zoology were also given over the local radio station. Most interesting ol all, however, was the trip to Bear Meadows at State College where many interesting things in the Field of science were seen. lt is hoped that many similar trips will be made in the luture. For one who truly wishes to lrnow something about Zoology, he cannot do better than to join this club. Qne may always loolc lorward to some revela- tion at each club meeting as long as Mr. Wimmer continues to lend his sponsor- ship and advice. lt was due to his careful supervision that each program as- pired to produce one central aim ol worth-while proportion.

The same eflif cient coaching staff was functioning in the same eflicient manner. The same dauntless spirit was creating the same atmosphere of hope and confidence. The line was a veritable batteringfram on the offensive and a bull dog on the def fensive. The backlield scintillated. Line bucks, end runs, trick plays, and brillf iantly conceived and executed passes spelled defeat for six straight opponents. And then, alas, we lost to Johnstown who won the district title by virtue of that great victory. Williamsport likewise defeated our valiant team, and in turn whipped Johnstown when the state championship was at stake. Despite those reverses, Altoona Hi h won four more games and certainly need not apologize for one of the flnest football machines it has been privileged to support. The history of that team with an account of its deeds herewith is recorded. Top lZow4Mr. Emanuel CHead Coachb, Gaines, Wyland, Dillon, Fuoss, Hanley, Adelson, M. Part, Adams, Milton, Lafferty, C.

' ,Z 'Vi V1 ll SPANGLER-VICTIM N UMBBR ONE A stalwart team of Altoona High players trotted out to take over Spangler in the initial game of the season. In spite of the heat the Maroon team managed to run up a 57f0 score on their lighter and weaker opponents. Milton seemed to have retained his old spirit and romped through the line again and again. Dinges and Dillon were also extensive groundfgainers. Spangler sustained numerous injuries but the subs were just as plucky as their predecessors and, although playing a losing game, fought valiantly to the final gun. From available indications the forward wall of Altoona's team seemed destined to enjoy its finest season. WILLIAMSBURG Boys SQUELCHED The Maroons swept onward through their second game, scoring a 50f0 win over our Williamsbur neighbors. In the first two periods the first and second string men pushecl the ball over the opponents' goalfstrip eseven times, while the Williamsburg boys were too busy trying to hold Altoona to consider making a touchdown themselves. The third string battled most of the second half and managed to score another touchdown, Patt carrying the ball across. Dillon was the high scorer of the day, showing a total of three sixfpointers. Milton, Dinges, Merin, Sipes, and Patt each put over one touchdown. Dinges placed-kicked for one extra point, and Patt on a pass from Milton scored another. The whole backfield showed some ability in ballftoting. The Altoona line held Williamsburg to one first down. BBLLEFONTE Bows The Big Red team from Bellefonte was completely outplayed in every department of the game as Altoona took the large end of a 53fO score. Alf though it would seem that this tally was decidedly onefsided, the Center County lads put up a good game. Worthy of especial mention is that boy Dinges, the plucky Altoona halffback. In three long runs, totaling 118 yards, he made three touchdowns. TT T V l ,iw BELLEFONTE GAME De Stefano scoring touchdown Page One Hundred Fifty In the first quarter the home team played a rather weak game, scoring only one touchdown. In the remaining three periods, however, they gave 'er the gun and put seven more across that final stripe. Lalferty scored twice while De Stefano, Dillon, and Milton made one touchdown apiece. Dillon accounted for four extra points and Lafferty for one. The crowd witnessed some ine playing on the part of the subs, and the line again distinguished itself when it proved to be well nigh impenetrable. HOLLIDAYSBURG Giviss Soma TROUBLE Resplendent in their new uniforms the Maroon gridders fumbled throu h the first half of the dedication game for a 0fO score. Had it not been Ear several unexpected slips the score would probably have been much higher than the 7f0 count at the final whistle. Hollidaysburg was satisfied to be on the defense almost the entire game, after discovering the Maroon and White forwards could not be circumnavigated. At the beginning'of the second half the Altoona boys trotted out in their old uniforms. This seemed to be a .solution to the problem, for immediately the Altoona machine began a march down the field which culminated in a score by Bill Dillon. Dinges booted the extra point. Altoona had little trouble gaining ground but continued to fumble when the goal line loomed u . pPrior to the ame the Mansion Park field was dedicated, Hugo Bezdek delivering the address. A new publicfaddress system was installed by virtue of which the spectators could hear the speakers and a complete description of the game as it progressed. Lock HAVEN TOPPLED In October Altoona journeyed to Lock Haven to administer to the latter the first home defeat the Clinton County aggregation has suffered at the hands of the Maroon and White, and likewise the most disasterous they have suffered on their own soil, the score being 26f7. The Lock Haven lads showed a lot of pluck and managed to score once on Altoona-the first V HOLLIDAYSBURG GAME Altoona loses ball on fumble Page One Hundred Fifty-one 17 J: - I N1 lf, Wir' I0 P l 4-.1 KH Elf, l'?. ill L A :I l ll lf I l I I lLL-fi .alflill A I 'i?J', i TIT enemy touchdown of the season. These seven points came as the result of a long march during which they seemed to find little difficulty in piercing the Altoona line. The "endfaround" play was used quite frequently by the Maroons and usually resulted in gains. Gaines created quite a sensation when, on a last down with quite a few yards to go, he ran for a touchdown. Sipes also broke free on one occasion and ran about thirty yards before he was downed in the shadow of the Lock Haven goal posts. THB PITTSBURGHERS CRUMBLE The Maroon Avalanche defeated the Westinghouse Team of Pittsburgh at Mansion Park to the tune of 19 to O. Gur school may well be proud of the team which slashed and tore its way through the Pittsburgh Champions for nineteen first downs, three times pushing the ball across the goal line for touchdowns. .. The "Snaps Emanuel eleven" scored in three of the quarters, missing by narrow margins numerous other chances to pile up points. Of especial importance to our victory was the stellar performance of Yeager who was playing his first varsity game. Adams and Pittman shone on the line. A surprise greeted the Altoona cheering sections in the form of a well drilled and uniformed band which had journeyed from Pittsburgh to support the Blue and Yellow warriors. A splendid group of cheer leaders, three fair damsels, also accompanied the team. Ti-nz JOHNNIE Vicroiuo Us Over ten thousand football fans overflowed Mansion Park on November First to witness a battle between the Johnstown and Altoona grid warriors. To our great disappointment our friendly rivals overcame the most valiant efforts of the Maroon and White with a score of 13 to 0 in their favor. This was Johnstown's first victory over us in four years, and incidentally eliminated Altoona from all title claims for the 1930 season.

LJ!! - 1 ICQ' During the iirst half, the two rivals battled to a deadlock, there being but little evidence that either team possessed a superiority over the other. Dinges' fumble in the first quarter destroyed Altoona's one chance to score. In the second half Terebus and Cox tore off huge gains for a touchdown in each period. A pass, Terebus to Heidorn of Johnstown, added the extra point. The musical organizations of both Johnstown and Altoona deserve honor' able mention. We certainly have a right to be proud of our band, which may be compared favorably with that of any other school aggregation in western Pennsylvania. CLEARFIELD DOWNED A reversal of form was manifested as the Altoona gridders redeemed themselves by defeatin Clearfield at Mansion Park on Saturday, November the Eighth. This seconcf of a series of 13 to O scores, placed Altoona fourth in conference standing. Five minutes after the kickoff, Altoona scored without much difficulty. The honors during the remainder of the first half, however, were equally divided, the ball remaining in the center of the field where it was captured and recaptured as each side took it on downs. The third quarter proved uneventful. During this period our mighty I u 411' i .-- 1 ul ini I 'alll - za. l 'l fullback, Milton, was absent because of injuries received during the previous , half. ,', it In the latter part of the game a touchdown was scored when the forward jli, wall provided interference for the backield stars.

The defeat may be charged principally to the Billtown captain, who, although suffering a concussion of the brain on the initial kickfoff, returned to the game, much to our disf comfiture. His teammate Painton gave him excellent support. Both touchdowns resulted from Altoona fumbles, the one during a reverse play in the second period, the other on a line plunge in the final quarter. Both fumbles occurred in dangerous territory. Fuoss, the Maroon center, played a stellar game, allowing few gains through his position. The entire team put up a splendid battle and is to be congratulated for its Hne efforts in holding to two touchdowns a club which was soon to win the state title. PORTAGE HALTED Scoring in every quarter Altoona took Portage High over with a 38fO score. This victory placed us in the lead, with respect to games won, of all conf ference teams. Many substitutes started the fray and most of the regulars watched the whole contest from the bench. Except for a brief spurt at the very beginning of the game Portage did not seriously threaten to score on Altoona. The excellent work of the line enabled the Altoona backheld to score almost at will. Sipes and Dinges scored on passes of twentyffive and twentyf two yards respectively. The Blue and Gold warriors made only three first downs to Altoona's twentyfthree. Fusco and Shively were the best of the second string performers. TYRONE Mssrs DEFEAT In spite of the intense cold Altoona again won the annual Turkey Day game from the Orangemen from Tyrone. This was Tyrone's first defeat of the season. The game decided the traditional championship of Blair County since these two teams were county leaders. Although the mercury was hover' ing low a fine crowd was out to cheer both teams on. i l PORTAGE GAME Milton scores First touchdown Page One Hundred Fifty-four The score of 53f0 was largely due to the efforts of "Sonny Boy" Milton, fullback for the Maroon, who crossed the final stripe four times during the game. Sipes also carried the ball into the end zone once. The latter scored two extra points, Dinges scoring the other. Although they did not come out on top the Tyrone boys are to be commended on the fine spirit which was manifested in the hardest game of their season. The Altoona line stopped every Tyrone thrust. Burket and Thompson were thrown for losses time and time again. Tyrone's total yardage the entire game amounted to but thirtyfthree yards. HUNTINGDON LosEs BENEFIT GAME Altoona High handed Huntingdon its first defeat in two years when it halted a twenty game winning streak by taking the contest 8-0. The two rivals clashed in a postfseason benefit game held at Mansion Park for the unemployed of Altoona. just as long as it takes a team to line up and launch a play, just that long did it take "Coach Emanuel's Maroons" to score a touchdown. Dinges intercepted a forward pass tried on the first play, and ran twenty yards for the six points. A fumble by G. Shingler of Huntingdon behind his own goal in the second quarter accounted for the Altoona safety. The game ended with Altoona on the one yard line after taking the ball at the fifteen yard mark by virtue of an intercepted pass. Altoona tried no passes, Huntingdon workefl two for small gains. The Altoona line stopped Huntingdon's backs at W1 . Although the game was held on a cold and stormy day the grandstands were fairly well filled, there being about 53500.00 taken in. After the expenses of the visiting team had been paid, the remainder of the money was divided among the different sponsors. These various organizations distributed the proceeds among the city's unemployed where it didmuch to alleviate their misfortunes. an l TYRONE GAME Dillon tackled on fake line buck-Milton circles end for touchdown Page One Hundred Fifty-five 'I' ,.. ll l Ill L if ll' l I ' L' .lla ' -ll? l' l' ill, i .ll l ll llll ' 4 .l ill A A l r ll 'Ol I i l I ' ,gli r st TN mi-4 ll r I. 5 i I f f: . : wil l M lm "v .1 V14 lilli l I I ii -flee ,L . tel- O 4 '-1 W- . gn- X,-1 SPANGLER GAME Line plunge stopped by Altoona linemen GOODBYE FOOTBALL SEASON!

Under "Benny" Weinstein's tutelage, the "bigflittle" team triumphantly carried home the scalps of numerous small high and junior high schools. This scrappy set of youngsters was never beateng only once was a tie scored against it, when Keith junior High earned a OfO stalemate. The squad which consisted of fortyffive players, furnished excellent practice for the Varsity linefup, many times having been beaten only by very low scores. Throughout the season they fought stubbornlyg unknown and unheralded, their courage never flagged. This is the type of players which will provide us with stalwart men for the 1931 Varsity. Of the fortyffive members of the Jay Vees, only five were seniorsg the large majority of the remainder were sophomores. Twentyfflve of these will furnish excellent Varsity material and will give the present regulars a "run for their money." These twentyffive received six inch letters, while the remainder of the squad received class numerals. The splendid record of this organization is tabulated below.

Our misfortune this time was to fall victim to one of the P. I. A. A's. humorously trivial technicalities. When the storm subsided, horrors of horrors, four of our players were professionals, though till then both the Athletic Council and the boys themselves had been ignorant of this remark' able fact. Whereupon Altoona High goodfnaturedly forfeited her prospecf tive district championship and this now "synthetic and doubtful honor" was bestowed elsewhere. The following record, however, we feel is worthy of attention. SPANGLER AGAIN IS OPENER Visions of a great cage squad loomed high as Altoona took the initial game from Spangler to the tune of 5345. To Bill Dillon went the honors of scoring the first points of the season. Eddie Rush, however, was high scorer, totaling twentyfeight points. Rush, Wunderlick, Merin, L. Patt, and Dillon started the game but eleven players saw action during the contest. ALUMNI CFFER OPPOSITION , It was allfAltoona night when the players from former Altoona teams met the present quintet on the Roosevelt floor. The younger lads proved to be the stronger and the Varsity took the heavy end of a 2'7f24 score. The play throughout the game was fast and furious. The regulars won every quarter but the last when the Alumni scored eleven points to their opponents four. Lou Patt was the high scorer, rolling in two held goals and five foul shots, for a total of nine points. MAROONS TAKE THIRD PROM SAXTON Eddie Rush led the Maroon team to its third victory of the season when it annexed one from Saxton to the tune of 40f1O. Saxton was allowed but one held goal, the other counters comin from foul shots. The Varsity made only twentyftwo of Altoona's points, tie Reserves scoring the others. PORTAGE TAKES DEFEAT Coach Emanuel used twelve layers to defeat Portage on its home floor. The Maroon hoopfmen had a little trouble in getting started but finally managed to fix the score at 36f2'7. Altoona led in every quarter except the last when Portage scored seven points to Altoona's three. M. and L. Patt, Merin, Dillon, and Rush started the game, with M. Patt taking the honors in pointfscoring. PORTAGE AGAIN Bows With little diihculty Altoona annexed the second Portage game, the Hnal count standing at 54f29. Rush, Lytle, L. and M. Patt, and Merin started the fray but another team was inserted during the contest. Rush starred with eleven field goals and two fouls. Altoona won every quarter, and at no time was there much danger of a Portage victory. Page One Hundred Sixty THE WILLIAMSPORT JONAH Altoona High School dropped the tenth straight basketball game to Williamsport, losing to the Cherry 42f23. The Patts scored the only baskets of the evening for Altoona, when in the first half, Williamsport guarded Eddie Rush too assiduously. WESTINGHOUSE SHADED Displaying unequaled spirit and team work, the Maroon Eve nosed out the undefeated Westinghouse team in a game played on the Roosevelt floor. In a last minute spurt a 17f16 victory was scored by the Emanuelites. This game was the first lost by Westinghouse in twentyfthree starts. THE TYRONE DEBACLB The most onefsided victory ever won at the expense of our Tyrone rivals was staged on the Roosevelt floor when our neighbor dropped the twentyf fourth consecutive game to the Maroon team. Eddie Rush and M. Patt scored with ease, the final count standing at 41f6. JOHNSTOWN HUMBLED The "Emanuel cagersu ran away with our Blue and Black rivals 3'7f26 on Johnstown's own floor. The flood city team played brilliantly for a time, the score being deadlocked at the quarter 1343. However, Altoona High had set a pace which the Johnstown boys could not equal and the game soon got beyond their control. ANOTHER BILLTOWN VICTORY Although Altoona High displayed her best form of the season she went down to defeat once more at the hands of Williamsport 2148. A strange floor was no problem for the Cherry and White team, which must be given credit with providing Altoona fans the finest basketball exhibition that has been seen here in many a day.

Stiff opposition was encountered during the first quarter, after which the Altoona boys sedulously applied themselves to the task in hand. JOHNSTOWN LOSES SECOND Again Johnstown tasted the dregs of defeat as Altoona swamped it on the Roosevelt floor. The ,lawns were kept fairly busy watching the ball drop through Altoona's basket and had little chance to score themselves. The Altoona knights of the court shot field goals and fouls for a score of fortyfone points against fifteen garnered by the Johnnies. Even the reserves were inspired, playing so fast a game that the Blue and Black warriors were not able to stop them. ' FRANKLIN GIVES OPPOSITION In a wellfmatched tilt with Franklin High, Altoona, using twelve cagers, finally succeeded in getting the large end of a 24f2O score. Rush and M. Patt were high scorers, each ringing up four field goals and a foul. The Franklin boys put up a good hght and it was only through exceptional team work that the Maroon team was able to defeat them. TI-IE SCHENLEY SCARE Another invasion by a Pittsburgh team was turned when, after a rally in the third quarter, Captain Eddie Rush's passers earned a 2548 victory. The game was a stubbornly contested scrap, waged by two well drilled cage peams. The breaks determined the winner and Lady Luck decreed in our avor. STATE COLLEGE FALLS ' An easy win was presented the Maroon hoopmen by State College High School, the score reading 4Of15. The second string players saw service during the sec' ond half. They held their opponents in good style and even succeeded in adding a few points to our tally. A BELLEEONTE MASSACRE In the concluding game of the season the Maroon quintet, minus four of the regulars, wallocped Belle' fonte on the Roosevelt court. Captain E die Rush was hi h scorer with eleven points. Altoona ran up a total OF thirtyfseven while the Bellefonte cagers had "EDN" RUSH to be satisfied with eight points. Captain Page One Hundred Sixty-two I I ..i. Junior Varsity Baslcethall The Junior Varsity enjoyed a fair measure of success during the 193081 season. Eight victories were chalked up to its credit while only three defeats were suffered. "Ty" Rush, a former high school luminary, lent his skill and cunning to the junior Varsity boys in the capacity of coach. Promising varsity material has been prepared for next year through his efforts.

The squad was ably coached by Miss Eyre, girls' physical director, and her assistant Miss Beatty. At the close of the season, Eugenia Anthony, captain of the team, received the singular honor of being chosen the most valuable player.

The Girls' Hockey Team Hockey was a new feature of the girls' athletic program for the year 193061. The squad was organized under the splendid direction of Miss Eyre, girls' athletic director in the high school. The call for hockey candidates was issued on October 28, 1930. One hundred fifty girls responded. Eleven girls from each of the three classes were chosen to play on the interfclass teamg. From these groups eleven girls were selected to play on the varsity squa . Since hockey was introduced only this season at Altoona High, the girls made no attempt to secure outside gamesg their main contests consisted in interfclass play. The captains of the three clubse-Seniors, Catherine Tom' linsong junior, Dorothy Snyder, Sophomore, Gene Gibbons-did well in keeping their teams interested. A spirit of friendly rivalry marked the introf duction of this game as far as the intrafmural contests were concerned. At the termination of the interfclass games, the varsity linefup, captained by Helen Bloomfield, fought a bloody battle with a wizard team composed of Senior girls from the Pennsylvania State College and the Indiana State Teachers' College, who were doing practice teaching in the city. Although the game resulted in a victory for the more experienced team with a score of 1fO, yet the Altoona lasses had nothing to regret, having played an excepf tional game for new corners. From rather pronounced indications, this past year's hockey program will be the forerunner of a permanent hockey team. It is to the credit of the present student body that it sponsored the introduction of this sport into our high school.

Our team negotiated the entire 1930 season without suffering a defgeat, despite the most valiant efforts of our worthy opponents. This successful season is rightfully credited to the excellent tutorship of our mentor, "Snaps" Emanuel. , With the opening of baseball season came the hordes of candidates, -who manfully fought for recognition on the first team, even though eight varsity men "were out." The team chosen by the coach proved not only the excel' lency of the material with which "Snaps" had to deal, but also the wisdom with which our coach has been so richly endowed. The games below demonf strate the kind of team Altoona High sent on the field in 1930. ' MARTINSBURG DBFEATED The opening game of the 1930 baseball season was held at Martinsburg, a fair sized crowd attending the fray. Coach Emanuel allowed most of the candidates a tryout in this game to determine their ability when confronted by a rival team. The confidence displayed by the Emanuel aggregation was expressed in a decisive 14'3 victory. ROARING SPRING CONQUERED The Maroons swamped the Roaring Spring contingent in the second game of the season, when, at Prospect Park, they won another victory.- Bud Weld's brilliant pitching during this game proved -invincible and a 28f2 drubbing was administered to the Spring team. Our neighbors were unable to touch Bud's fast ball until he eased up in the final innings and allowed two runs across the home plate. THEN CLAYSBURG Goss DowN ' - In high spirits over their two successive victories, our high school "diaf mondfwarriorsu next invaded Claysburg. Their expectancy of an easy base' ball picnic came to grief, however, when Claysburg's colored twirler dis' played 'his baffling wares. Despite his pronounced pitching ability, Altoona was equal to the occasion and came home with a 14f0 conquest tucked away. Covn HIGH Losas TwxcE In two games played with Morrison Cove High School, Altoona easily displayed its superiority by twice defeating the Cove nine. Proving that foreign soil was no detriment, the Emanuelites visited Morrison Cove to administer a 910 defeat. On ourqhome field the going proved much easier, the resultant score being 30f8. WILLIAMSBURG IS NUMBER Six ' The Maroon and White diamond squad traveled to Williamsburg to defeat that team on its own held to the tune of 23f8. The Maroon squad Page One Hundred Sixty-six , ...lla s r l l F' if A X lu tl ll l I A ll, v V w .nl li! lgll '-I as Q: is .i v' -l nl , completely outclassed and outplayed this aggregation, one of its most serious rivals. DeStefano's stellar performance on the mound accounted for twelve strikeouts. Another outstanding player proved to be Eddie Rush who, in four times at bat, scored four hits and four runs. ANOTHER AT ROARING SPRING,S EXPENSE Altoona added the seventh victory to its string of conquests when, for a second time, our boys defeated the Roaring Spring nine. During a sixth inning rally, the Maroon and White scored seven runs to win the game 12f5. Bud Weld took care of the hurling for Altoona and played an outstandf ing role in our victory. MARTINSBURG VANQUISHED Martinsburg's visit to Altoona resulted in an 8f3 defeat. Coach Emanuel's team had- matters well in hand during the entire course of the game. Petrarca capably filled Altoona's pitching assignment, having seven strikefouts to his credit. WILLIAMSBURG PROVIDES OPPOSITION The home field proved no protection for Williamsburg when the two champions, Altoona and Williamsburg, met in that final game for the pennant. Williamsburg fought with every ounce of its strength and courage, but in the last few innings Altoona overcame the most valiant efforts of the Paperf town team, winning by alscore of 6f5. This game again put the Blair County Baseball Pennant in the hands of Altoona, where it has resided for the last four years. b N . -EE Top Row--Mellam, DeStefano, Neugabauer, Campbell, Russell, Kenner, K.

ZA fi: :'f"l'l fi' -H12 TTBCIC Team The track schedule for 1930 was ofiicially opened with the customary early trial meet at Mansion Park field. In this contest two former school records were broken. To Rouzer, field star, went the honor for both deeds. He raised the shot put mark to fortyffive feet four inches and the hammer throw distance to one hundred ten feet. He likewise carried off the discus throw award. Harvey Rupert, a Roosevelt High student, and "Sonny Boy" Milton, football ace, were outstanding newcomers. A number of veterans including Olson, Phillips, Crist, Graham, Burkhart, Bonebreak, Meredith, Rhodes, Gorsuch, Muir, Gardner, and Clifford were back on the job. On April 18 the senior class earned a victory in the InterfClass Meet with a score of 65 2 f3 points. The junior class came out a close second with 57M points. The sophomores and freshmen finished in the order named with 48M and ten points respectively. lt is interesting to note that only one freshman was entered in the meet. That one, Harvey Rupert, carried off two Hrst places. This young man is very promising material for our future track teams. Bert Crist, joe Clifford, "Sonny Boy" Milton, and "Bud" Rhodes comf prised the quartet which accompanied Coach Lewis to Philadelphia on the occasion of the Penn Relays. In spite of a delay caused by a spill during the first lap while joe Clifford was carrying the baton, the team managed to carry off third place. The remaining athletes really outran their opponents and had it not been for the handicap, would probably have conquered the Held of runners. Williamsport won the heat with William Penn of Harrisburg second. With unexpected prowess in all forms of track and field events Bedford defeated Altoona, the score being hftyffive to fortyffour. Clark, the colored star from Bedford, won the 100 and 220 yard dashes. In the latter he broke the record for A. H. S. athletes of 22 1X5 seconds set by Dick Bartholomew. Altoona took four hrst places, Milton winning the quarter mile, Muir, the highfjump, Bonebreak, the broad jump, and Rouzer, the shot put. Rouzer broke both the shot and the hammer records of the school. Several exhibition events were held, including the low hurdles, hammer throw, mile run, and relay race. ,Q By winning five first places, a trio of seconds, live thirds, and three fourth places, Altoona High easily took first place in the Penn State meet. Williamsf port was second with a total of twentyfsix points to Altoona's fortyff1ve. Muir, Graham, Miller, and Rouzer, were the boys who brought home the blue ribbons. Vaul Rouzer took two events, one in the shot put and one in the discus throw. Muir won the high jump in very handsome style, Graham the mile run, and Miller the hurdles. Williamsport carried off the honors in the relay race, with Altoona's quartet Hnishing third. Page One Hundred Sixty-eight j'. Q .m Five records were shattered and two were equaled when Altoona took first place in the District Six P. I. A. A. meet held at the Mansion Park Held. A wearer of the Maroon and White placed in every one of the twelve events, Altoona took five first places, six second places, four third places, two fourth places, and one fifth place for a total of sixtyffour points. Clearfield, the nearest competitor, gained only ZSVZ points. The meet was significant from an Altoona point of view considering that it was the first District Six meet the Maroon and White ever won. "Bud" Rhodes bettered the 440 record and equaled the 220 mark. Rupert also equaled the 220 hurdle record. Rouzer broke the shot put record by nearly two feet. A team from Elwood City coached by Dick Bartholomew, former Altoona High track star and present Maroon and White track mentor, took the trophies ofthe State P. I. A. A. meet held at the Mansion Park field. Williamsf port carried off the greatest total of points for an individual school. Altoona took only one first place, Rouzer winning the shot put as usual. This deed established him as one of the best high school shot putters in the country. Muir tied for third place in the high jump. This track record surely is in keeping with the past year's extraordinary athletic successes. lt was easily the finest track and field team Altoona has put out in some time. The fact that a good many of the athletes will be back for the coming season promises another championship team. And that Mr. Dick Bartholomew will be the coach, is an added omen of good luck and fortune. Pk ak Pk ik Bk As this yearbook goes to print CMay, 19315 it is encouraging to know that the 1931 track team of Altoona High is continuing the good work. On April 25 the relay squad captured first place in the major event at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. l Top Row-Mr. Lewis, Boyd, Burkhart, Crist, K.

Previously, although the school sponsored a tennis team and a tournament, it provided no material reward for the participants. The school tournament held in the fall was one of the hardest fought series of matches in the history of tennis at Altoona High. Fred Smith was finally declared school champion after defeating Torn Parsons, the 192960 school champion, 7'5Q 1f6g 6f4. Under the able coaching of Mr. Carl Hauser the team completed a very successful season, not suffering a single defeat. Last year, Varsity A's were presented to Thomas Parsons, Fred Smith, Samuel Sealfon, John O. Miller, and Henry Hafner. Those who received numeral rewards were Hamilton Rigg, Edward Sealfon, and Bob Haight. Members remaining for this year's team are john Miller, Bob Haight, Torn Parsons, and Sam Sealfon. A very successful season is looked forward to for this spring. ALTOONA SEASONS RECORD OPPONENTS 5 .,., .,.. Alumni, .. 2 3 , . . .State College.. .... ..,... 2 7 . . , . . ....

R ichard Green This year, under the direction of Don Hudson and Al Friedman, the cheerleaders kept the spirit of the school at high pitch. Both at the pep meetings and on the playing field the boys coaxed some highly respectable cheering from their rampant cohorts. These lively lads were unhesitatingly on the job. Their services to the Alma Mater should not be minimized. Don Hudson joined the cheering squad in his sophomore days, while Al Friedman was signed up during his junior year. The younger acquiref ments, Samuel Sealfon and Richard Green, have been functioning for slightly shorter periods. Following a custom of former years the head cheerleader was chosen on the merits he displayed as a junior. This year the honor was rightfully bestowed upon Donald Hudson. During the year, big things were accomplished- increased enthusiasm was noticed in pep meetings and at games, many new yells and songs were put across, and the resultant improvement both in the execution and in the volume of the cheering was most commendable. In recognition of his services, the head cheerleader, Donald Hudson, was presented with at maroon and white sweater bearing the oflicial A. H. S. megaphone.

T lntra-Mural and Cther Sports IntrafMural sports, featuring basketball and volleyball, were carried on successfully during the 1930451 term. No varsity players were allowed on the teams in this competition. Under the direction of Mr. Wolfe, John Sawyer the student manager, arranged a very attractive program. In basket' ball, Room 102 won the school championship after it finished a difficult schedule, by defeating Room 115, 18f1O and 14f11. Room 114 was awarded the volleyball crown when it defeated Room 223, the other hnalist, two out of three games. In connection with these matches a foul shooting contest was staged in which Eugene Farabaugh was victorious, with twentyfone points out of a possible twentyffiveg Nathan Parrish earned second honors with a score of seventeen. Through the medium of these leagues and conf tests a large number of boys were provided with competitive opportunities which otherwise would not have existed. Two other innovations were incorporated into the athletic program of Altoona High when a call was sent out for boxing and wrestling candidates. During March and April our school gymnasium afforded a busy sight to any saunterer who happened by, the antics of the wrestlers and the rope skipping and sparring of the boxers were sights to behold. And not to be outdone, the tumbling squad gave an unusual exhibition of skill and daring as an assembly program in April. But nothing was more surprising than Mr. Dickey's spring call for checker and chesscandidates, unless it was the faculty basketball team. This group of dignified pedagogues entertained the largest crowd of the season when it battled the Varsity team to a "nearfwin" 26f2O. Who says we aren't living in an age of miracles? And so endeth the story of the heroes and near heroes! "lf, W' , lil T7 ' -.i?,1S-- -- -5,155 if iii 1 Page One Hundred Seventy-twc -1 1 , ..' .af un v -11:1-3.5111 V. . .wi 13.-..

One department which really represents a vital unit of our school, and is lyet needed to complete a wellfbalanced resume of our activities, is the music department. It is a common meetingfground of representatives from the several courses of the Altoona High School. Further than that, it provides the necessary music for our school functionsg and once a year, it sponsors a delightful musical show in benefit of this, our yearbook. Then again, what should we do without our band and orchestra? Yes-the music department is quite indispensibleg likewise is its director and friend of the school, Mr. Howard Lindaman. His keen interest in our student body has brought the department to its present high level of achievement. As previously mentioned, the music department each year presents a play to aid the yearbook fund. 4' "' 'K "' The Horseshoe Follies of 1930 was a huge success, The iirst act showed the conventional ensemble with songs reminiscent of the "Gay Nineties" period in American history. The group singing began with that old New York Democratic yell, "Tammany", which figuratively brought down the house. Other '90 period songs were revived, among them "When I Was Sweet Sixteen", "Seeing Nellie Home", and "The Soldiers' Goodbye". These old favorites especially delighted the elder members of the enthusiastic audience. In the first act numerous snappy gags and jokes were pulled by Phal, that ole, niggah prince. He captivated us all with the funny bonahs he popped at th' Hih Schule teachahs. Mah Goo' ness! but Ah had t' laff. And furthermore, the up an' peppy interlocuters, Don Hudson and Sally Moses, shure knew how to strut their stuff. They should be rewarded with Oskosh Super Smell Onion Salts for their meritorious deeds. Before I forget, Peter .Pearce Cwho happens to be a girlj, Max McCoy, Thelma Diehl, Sparrow Mannion, Ginny Riley, and Phal Slep executed some hotfhoof steps and songs. Several soloists made their bows to the audience. Incidentally, they did give us a song or two. The most outstanding singer was john Cochrane. This well known tenor crooned a ditty suitable for the occasion, called l"When Irish Eyes are Smiling." A Finale by the entire company, and the curtain fell amidst great hurrahing, pounding of feet, clapping of hands, and throwing of caps in the air. Page One Hundred Seventy-four . V' lmsrrr. .- ia...

An interesting accordian quartet, Ed Sweet, Clement Hershey, jo Zonfrilli, and Gerald Benson, made themselves popular. Dee Mattas, Art McVey,and Max Fenstamacher tapped as very ingenious military dance. Next an Indian girl astonished us with her lovely whistling. Her name was Jane Byer and she whistled that beautiful old song, "Indian Love Call." The O'Neill sisters performed a charming little tap dance. And last was Helen Bloomheld with a recitation that prepared us for Act Two. Up came the curtain. Ahs! and Ghsl were heard from all parts of the theatre. The stage showed a lovely garden, with a white trellis fence as a background. Mary COra Frumj and ,lack CGleve McGarveyj were just inf dulging in a violent quarrel, the result of which found Mary leaving husband and home flat. In the end, however, Mary missed her train and the two lived happily ever after Cwhich was a foregone conclusionj. As Mary left her family, the "So Long Mary" chorus came upon the stage and did their do. After them followed a succession of choruses very cleverly costumed and well trained: "Down By The Old Mill Stream", "College Girls", "Mother", "Schooldays", "Sunbonnet Sue", and "Little Sparks of Love." The fun was provided by a fake orchestra containing Phal Slep, Beany Kerlin, Sparrow Mannion, and Max McCoy. During the course of the second act, Helen Reith sang a beautiful soprano solo, "Two Little Girls in Blue". To this music, jo and Dot O'Neill danced an exquisite oldffashioned duet. Other dances were given by Anne Grimshaw, Louise Glenn, and Ralph Plunkett. Dee Mattas and Helen Sellers thrilled their audience with a real Apache dance. An enchanting performance was also given by that dandy team, Ginny Riley and Teddy Diehl, without a doubt the most popular of the evening. Following this, Tee Lee Williams added to the program with his neverffailing clarinet. Finally, all the members of the cast appeared for a last song. The curtain slowly fell " "' 4' Adieu! Adieu!

The numerous other activities of the music department will, for want of space, need be abbreviated. Gf the splendid dance orchestra, with its leaders Mario del Bianco and Phal Slep, little shall be written here. Our accordian players, radio artists and soloists, our quartets and octettes, shall be given but small mention. However, we expect some day to be in the audience and to say "Yes, indeed! that million dollar soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, bass, or what have you, was a classmate of mine in old A. H. S.!" Believe it or not, we mean it! To remind you of that threat we are adding on the subsequent pages a few of the faces that will peer over the footlights from the stage side, in days to come. ' Page One Hundred Seventy Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club was one of the most popular musical groups organized at Altoona High during the year 193061. Mr. Lindaman, whom the boys affectionately termed "Pop," was the director and inspiration of the club. A membership of approximately thirty songsters sought instruction under his skilled guidance. Several of our best known vocalists were affiliated with the Boys' Glee Club. John Cochrane, Donald Hudson, Cleve McGarvey, Philip Slep, and others lent their talents to the general benefit and pleasure of many enthusif astic audiences. The single lady to be seen in the picture beneath is Miss Margaret Horner, demure pianist, who helped the boys pick out the proper notes. She appears well fortified with masculine protection. Cn the occasion of the State Forensic League contest the Glee Club perf formed remarkably well. These young men likewise sang at school socials and concerts and were on the program for the Horseshoe Follies. Encouraged by the hearty reception accorded the club, Mr. Lindaman has planned an extension of its activities for next season.

Under the leadership of Mr. Everitt our 193061 musicians rose to proud heights, playing at the Faculty Institute Lectures, at assembly meetings, and at other school and civic functions. The membership of that splendid organizaf tion is herewith noted. FIRST VIOLINS Mario del Bianco, Cmiuertrrmxter Philip Stadler.

With a thrill of pardonable pride we always welcomed our big maroon band as it marched upon the field. Mr. Everitt is to be congratuf lated for the excellent showing his organization made with respect to parade formation displayed, as well as to the stirring music furnished.

At any rate Mr. Lindaman's adventurous experif ment was splendidly received by the various clubs of the city, charity organizations, and P. T. Afs, for whom the double octette sang. The personnel of the Boys' Double Octette boasted as first tenors Max Fenstamacher and john Cochrane, as second tenors, Samuel Albright, and Clair Carolusg as baritones, Theodore Gates and Cleve McGarveyg and as basses, Philip Slep and Donald Hudson. Four substitutes were included in the membership, and these filled in whenever their assistance was needed. This happy group was responsible for much of the splendid musical talent of the Horseshoe Follies of 1930. John Cochrane, Donald Hudson, Cleve McGarvey, and Max Fenstamacher especially distinguished themselves in the play. Furthermore, Phil Slep caused quite a sensation when he appeared out of character in the guise of a jazz orchestra leader. Nor were the activities of the organization confined exclusively to musical affairs. On numerous occasions these jolly good fellows arranged informal gatherings, and tis' whispered that much juicy gossip was flung back and forth over the teacups and bridge tables. What disposition Mr. Lindaman intends to make of this club another year is awaited with interest. We wonder what sort of a figure a triple octette would cut in the musical world. Let's give it a whirl, professor!

I s. I n s iVg' The Girls' Glee Club The primary aim of the Girls' Glee Club was to foster an interest in classic music among our girls, and to entertain at the Christmas and Easter exercises, at Girls' League meetings, and at the programs of the School District. Miss Alma M. Eberle took charge of the organization and did much for its Welfare and furtherance. Perhaps the event most worthy of special comment was the Christmas carol affair, held in collaboration with the Latin Department. Early Christf mas morning the members of these two organizations began their traveling concert, spreading their message of good will in music, and attracting favorf able comment from all who were privileged to hear them. It is to be hoped that this concert may be continued as a traditional annual function of the school. Likewise, of considerable importance was the work of the Girls' Glee Club in the production of the Annual Show. Its music provided one of the features for the play. Upon numerous occasions the girls also entertained the assemf bly groups and invariably were accorded a popular reception.

The club was organized for the purpose of training girls interested in singing. At the first meeting, the eight best girls were chosen from the regular glee club. The Octette undertook many projects. Various assembly programs were presented and were acclaimed with much approval. The Octette sponsored several school parties, and likewise rendered selections in the school play. During the winter this organization sang at three different churches in the city. It presented Christmas music on the annual Christmas program, and sang for the Ladies' Aid of the Middle Division and for the Altoona High School P. T. A. meetings. In order to give more girls the opportunity to become better versed in small group singing, Miss Eberle advised a change in the membership of the Octette for the second semester. This change was effected and approved by both the faculty and the students.
