Through all these years, it has been and still is "a hub" of that great trans- portation system, but many other industrial and commercial interests have been added. Our city is surrounded by picturesque mountain scenery. Its homes are owned by our parentsg its churches exert a strong influenceg its human interest and civic pride have been Well exemplified this year in the great number of worthy causes it has supported. We, as high school students, express our appreciation for the fine school system evolved in our city by public spirited citizens and educators, and for the encouragement and support of our fathers and mothers. As we take our places in this community as citizens, workers, and home makers, may we prove worthy of the faith and confidence which has, thus far, been placed in us.

KRINER Superintendent of Schools Altoona as a community has justifiable reasons for being proud of its schools. The High School in its effort to properly prepare the young men and Women for more Worthy citizenship reflects the interest and pride of the community. A school can do its best only When the patrons and citizens in the community give it Wise and unsellish support. The history of your High School is filled with stories of ex- pansion, improvement, and excitement. The citizens of your community will expect much from you, and rightly so. The privilege of graduation brings to you the responsibility of securing cultural and spiritual improvement as Well as materialistic gain for the community. N0 com- munity can live by "bread alone," but those finer ideas and ideals about which you learned in school must be implemented into daily living. Sincere congratulations are here extended to each member of the 1947 Senior Class.. Graduation from one of the very best high schools in our nation should fill you with the pride and enthusiasm necessary to guarantee success in your future. Never forget to recognize and appreciate in every way possible those people who have made life and living possible for you. A community filled with grateful people 1S a pleasant place in which to live. May each of you have that measure of success you richly deserve as true Americans. Page Fifteen Where There s N 0 Vision JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS Principal A collection of people does not necessarily make a community. There must be association, common spirit and interests, a mutual confidence, respect for others' individuality, neighboring, and sharing the common problems. In a true community many activities are shared, resulting in deeper social roots and more unified personalities. It is vital to our destiny that the people of our community shall be vigorous, intelligent, and Well-educated. In this the school plays an im- portant role in preparing the youth for successful living in our own com- munity or any other community in which he may ultimately be located. "Where there is no vision, the people perish." This holds true for communities. If a community is to be truly great, it must be to its people a place of significance and high adventure. It must seek excellence rather than size, it must aim for a full and well-rounded life for its members, and it must strive for vital relations with the rest of the world. The great community does not follow mass thinking, but creates its own high stan- dards, developing in its citizens good will, mutual confidence, neighbor- liness, sincerity, and discipline. I congratulate this class on using the theme of Community Improve- ment as the keynote of your yearbook. As members of this splendid grad- uating class, you can give leadership in planning for health, education, cultural growth, and ethical development in Altoona. Making Altoona a fine community can be a great adventure. Page Sixteen Your ver Widening nfluence PAUL A. ZETLER Assistant Principal As When a pebble is tossed into a still pool of Water, ripples spread to all parts of the pool, so your influence enters into the life of your com- munity. The movement of the ripples may be great or small, useful, harmless, or destructive, but it continues on and on, endlessly. Your in- fluence in your community in the same Ways, with similar intensity spreads out to the farthest confines of the community making life somewhat differ- ent for each member of the community. Your community is similar to the untroubled pool-it has its own boundaries but through visible or invisible connections it links itself with other communities until in ever widening groups it consists of all humanity. Through this community your iniiuence spreading in ever widening ripples finally touches all parts and all members of the group. The final effects of your influence will depend on the initial impulse which you give it by your actions. As you, the members of the Class of 1947 of the Altoona High School, go out into your community, it is my wish that you will enter courageously, wisely, and honestly, into its life and activities, and that the ripples of inlluence which you send out shall be constructive and enjoyable.

Voice of the Student Bod Miss Heiss The group which handles student government affairs so ably and efficiently in our school is known as the student Senate. Two representatives from each class-sophomore, junior, and senior-and one from every other major organization in the school make up this body. ' Through the organized efforts of the Senate, many activities for the benefit of the student body have been made possible. The Senate sent representatives to the annual Pennsylvania Student Government Convention at Hershey Where discussions of problems and of ideas proved helpful. The Senate members sponsored a Hal1owe'en Dance. They aided the American Legion Auxiliary in its drive for merchandise coupons. They also took part in the sale of band and orchestra concert tickets, chose the paid assemblies to be presented next year, and decorated Christmas trees in the first and second floor lightwells. At the beginning of the year, various members participated in an assembly devoted to acquainting the incoming class with customs and proper con- duct of A. H. S. students. Other activities included the preparation for the college conference, the maintenance of the re- ception desk, and the care of the indispensable "Lost and Found" Department.

When school started last September, a number of tenth graders were asked to give their first impressions of Altoona High. Many of them answered, "It's not so big or so terrible as we thought it would be." Our school is big, and new students usually have trouble in finding their way about for the first few days, but the sophomores ad- mitted "it wasn't bad." The Compass and the friendly attitude of teachers and upper- classmen enabled the newcomers to fit into the school routine very quickly. The school is not "terrible," as the sophomores learned in their first class meeting, which was held early in the year. Faculty members and representatives from the senate appeared on the program-each one with some definite information about A. H. S. This assembly was very helpful to every member of the Class of '49. The sophomore class, nearly nine hundred strong, gave enthusiastic support to all the school drives, dances, and other activities. The members received a lot of "kidding," but proved that they "could take it." Page Seventy-flue REME MBRANCE OF HAPPINESS IS HALF ,li S ,s Mi, . 5 J ways 3' , T Q? I ?' N N ME. . ' ,Q .Q .. ,,. 1 .

Promoted b Teachers and tudents Let's turn back the pages of time to the latter part of September of the year 1946. Let us View the record of a home-room period in A. H. S. At that time, there was one big interest in all the rooms- the students were buying activities tickets. For fifty cents they bought the small but important "credit cards" and tucked them into their Wallets for safe keeping. Those bits of cardboard entitled the holders to "Wonderful times." The fortunate owner received a Compass and every edition of the Mountain Echog he purchased his Horseshoe at a slight reduction in priceg he was admitted to all ath- letic games at reduced ratesg he enjoyed many special assembly pro- gramsg he was invited to take part in friendly competitive games. These were only a few of the many privileges granted to members of the Activities Association. Sponsors for the varied and interesting activities were found in willing teachers who gave much of their valuable time, support, and enthusiasmg the students gave not only their money but also their wholehearted support. Thus, the association commanded the support of the entire school. Each year the proceeds from the sale of the activity tickets are placed in a common treasury with activity money received from other sourcesg this common fund is used to defray the expenses of all the various activity groups. It is a rule, rather than an exception, that students benefit from this organization. Page Seventy-eight Actwlttes Program Many Sponsors Front Row-L. Davis, L. Berkey, L. Claycomb, H Hemphill, J.

The Home Room Representatives Worked under the guidance of Miss Heiss. Their meetings served as a clearing agency for student ideas and plans for the improvement of the school. The representatives handled all funds collected by home rooms. They sold tickets for the Girls League special programs, band and orchestra con- certs, the annual show, and other events. The Representatives also boosted the sale of Parent-Teacher Association tickets, As in previous years, every activity tickets and "H0rsesh0es." drive was successful. i'?WQ 'IJ gpm? in EEE, 6' 5947 fpbdg '1 97 1 .QF.

Catered to Feminine nterests The Girls League of A. H. S. is an active organization dedicated to the interests of the girls. Every girl who enters the high school automatically becomes a member. The following is a resume of the educa- tional and entertaining programs this organ- ization sponsored during the year: The installation of officers was directed by the Reverend J. Resler Shultz. This pro- gram was followed, several weeks later, by a Quill and Scroll presentation of satire on present day soap operas. One of the highlights of the year was a surprise visit from Altoona's film star, Janet Blair. She entertained the audience with stories of her experiences in Hollywood and then delighted her listeners with several vocal selections, accompanied on the piano by her husband. Annually, a talent show is presented, the proceeds from which go into the League scholarship fund, this fund is used for schol- arship loans to worthy college students or to girls in an approved training course. This year the show consisted of thirteen acts, wlth the participation of twenty students. All the girls were privileged to hear Dr Ann Wagner, who spoke on "Sex Hygiene The organization also sponsored a style show in which the models were girls from the sewing classesg each one had made the clothes she modeled. This show took the form of a skit in which a grandmother and her granddaughter discussed the advisability of a girl's taking a course in clothing. Many up-to-date styles were shown in a pleasing array of colors and materials. As a "tip" on how to speak and act correct ly, one of Miss Magee's dramatics classes gave a skit entitled "Voice and Personality On May 10, the traditional Mother and Daughter banquet was enjoyed by a large group. The group was honored to have Miss Dorothie Berry, of New York, as guest speaker. This banquet brought to a close a very successful year in the history of the A. H. S. Girls League.

A af I "All the news there is to print, plus," is still the policy of the Mountain Echo. Bigger and better than ever, the Echo staff published ten issues this year, bringing out the initial number on the first day of school. Student interests and activities are the framework of the publication. There are editorials to advise, features to entertain, and a play-by-play sports page to please the most avid sports fan. In order to keep its first-place record, the Echo follows the newest methods of makeup, COpy, and style of type under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Heller.

The Finished Product A Wealth of necessary information about Altoona High School is printed in the small handbook issued to sopho- mores in their first big year, this publication helps to orient them to the school. Included in this book are floor plans, sections of school regulations, organizations, musical activ- ities, sports, publications, songs and yells, lists of faculty members, and an up-to-date English reading list. The Compass is published by a student staff, composed of members from the three classes, under the sponsorship of Mr. Eugene Lantz. The students who desire member- ship on the staff sign a petition and from these applicants the new staff is chosen by the sponsor, during the second semester of each year. Work on the staff consists of gathering new material, bringing old information up to date, organizing the data, typing it, and arranging for printing. Qualifications for a staff member are good citizenship, good scholarship, indus- try, dependability, accuracy, and, in the case of typists, skill and speed. Page Eighty-eight uill and croll Miss Heller The A. H. S. branch of the international honor society for high school journalists, more commonly known as the Quill and Scroll, Went ahead this year with the task of promoting and creating a high quality of high-school lit- erature. The group is sponsored by Miss Heller. To become a member of this club, one must have done exceptional work on the Mountain Echo, the Horseshoe, or the Com- pass. Those Whose Work is approved by international head- quarters receive a pin and a year's subscription to the Quill and Scroll magazine. Membership requires not only ability in the journalistic field but also high scholastic records, a good character, initiative, and Willingness to accept respon- sibility. During the year, the club enjoyed the privilege and assumed the responsibility of Writing and presenting radio plays and programs over the local radio station, WFBG. A play was also adapted and presented before a Girls League assembly. Various contests were sponsored by the club in the writing of poetry, editorials, short stories and plays, these are open to any qualifying pupil in the school. Page Eighty-'nine Seated-A. Epple, K.

VOCATIONAL Disclosing Hidden Talents Academy of Science Since the membership in the Academy of Science is limited to those students who are outstanding in science courses, it is a privilege to belong to the group. On re- gular club days, current science news Was presented and discussed. Each member chose a particular problem on Which to Work during the year, into these projects the student put his originality and initiative Toften with gratifying results. With Mr. Wimmer as sponsor, this club achieved out- standing success. Art Display Club The A.H.S. display cases were really a calendar of the school. In them, the events of the year were attractively portrayed- holidays, seasons, concerts, dances, sports, and campaigns. Alert club members, under Miss Plitt's guidance, showed good taste in arranging and lighting the cases in a manner which attracted the interest and attention of stu- dents and visitors. The cases also played an important role in attractive exhibitions of the fine arts and of student art. Academy of Science Front Row-Mr. Wimmer, D. Lenz. R. Counsman, J. Einodshofer, I. Halow, N.

Since the City Police Department could not spare enough men to direct traffic in the school area, boys volunteered to aid in safeguarding pedes- trians. Their job became rather easy, but it will remain so only if students will con- tinue to follow this rule: "Cross at cornersg that is where the mo- torist is on the alert for his safety and yours." lull Work and Play Bowling Club "Let's better our scores today," was a common remark of the members of the Bowling Club who met at the Trialto Bowl- ing Alleys every Girls League club day. Then Miss Eyre, instructor of the group, may have said, "Many girls are nearing the 200 mark and many will probably reach it." Bowling is popular because it is a sport which not only trains the mind and body, but also affords the girls much pleasure and excitement. Auxiliary Police Front Row-D. O'Shell, W. Reaney, M.

Enthusiastic Fans Booster Club The Booster Club, under the direction of Mr. Wood, can boast another successful year. The club, one of the largest and most active of the school, Was kept busy trying to keep up with the football and basketball games in which We were victorious so many timesg the boosters and cheerleaders could always be found at their posts, ready for work- rain, snow or shine. Since the basketball games were played at the Jaffa Mosque, a special section was re- served for all the boosters on game nights. This section could be recognized at a dis- tance by the White shirts and blouses that the boys and girls were requested to Wear. The cheers were even better than usual, this year, because of "Jackie," the newest A.H.S. cheerleader. He was a grand help and this is a good opportunity for the boosters to say, "Thanks," The boosters have good cause to be proud of their accomplishments this year.

The goal for every mem- ber of the Bridge Club under the leadership of Miss LeVan! This club, a new one this year, met every Thursday for instruction and practice. In the first few meetings, the girls learned the fundamental rules of the game, the ar- rangement of cards and methods of bidding came in for a full share of attention. Later the group played rubbers, awarded the tra- ditional prizes, and enjoyed refreshments. Varied Interests Cafeteria Patrol The indispensable Cafeteria Patrol, spon- sored by Mr. Foster and Mr. Graf, endeavors ed to make the lunch period enjoyable for teachers and students. They discouraged noise, straightened chairs and tables, and saw that the student line was orderly. In addition, they were efficient in initiating students into the changes from three regu- lar lunch periods to live overlapping periods which shortened the time spent in passing through the line. This voluntary service of a small group was much appreciated. Page Ninety-five L Math Club Front Row-J. Einodshofer, I. Halow, P. Bolger, K. Yon, D. Mentzer, G. Kin- sel, P. Malone, Mr. Sheetz.

Preparing for the Future College Prep Math Club Every club period, a group of energetic seniors met in Room 110 where Mr. Sheetz sponsored a Math Club. These students were interested in mastering the fundamen- tals of mathematics-for they were college bound. All high school math subjects- algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigo- nometry were covered. The Math Club was a successful "new venture" this year. Each member proudly squared his shoulders and said, "Analytics and calculus, here I come." Fellowship Club The members of the Fellowship Club were students vitally interested in full-time Chris- tian work, and many of the boys and girls in the group plan to be ministers or mis- sionaries. Under the guidance of Paul Milburn of the Y.M.C.A. the club members enjoyed, at each meeting, an hour of fellowship to- gether. On various occasions they heard interesting talks given by leaders in reli- gious flelds. Hymn singing and testimonies had a regular place on each program. Fellowship Club , Front Row-P. Luciano.. N.

They performed experiments, became acquainted with technical chemical apparatus, profited from movies and lectures, and went on field trips. The club was composed of students who did excellent work in chemistry, because of this high requirement it Was an honor to be a member. The Flask and Beaker Club is one of the oldest scientific clubs at A.H.S. Specialists at Work Future Teachers Club "The crystal ball" of Altoona High re- veals an urgent need for teachers in many areas. Concern over this problem led to the formation of the Future Teachers Club to stimulate interest in the profession. During each club period, this organiza- tion Was supplied with speakers from the educational field Who gave information and encouragement to prospective teachers. In order to understand better the problems of teaching, members visited various schools and assisted teachers in their Work. Future Teachers' Club Seated-S. Adams, D. Trot- ter, R. Lioy, J. Willis.

M. C. A. This year, under the coaching of Bob Nedi- meyer, the Senior-Hi-Y basketball squad had a record of many wins and few losses. To ac- commodate the many members, the Hi-Y was subdivided into a sophomore and a senior group. Lettering Club So you think it's easy to do good lettering? Members of Miss Plitt's Lettering Club, who made the showcards for display cases and bulletin boards, know that it takes hard work and skill to do attractive and appro- priate lettering. They also know that the success of many events is more or less de- pendent upon lettering with pen or brush and that lettering knows no slack season but must keep pace with the bustling world.

A group of girls in- terested in music met each "club Thursday" to listen to records and to enjoy vocal and piano selections rendered by the members. Miss Alma Eberle sponsored the club and helped to arrange programs for the regular sessions and for several community events. With dues collected at each meeting, the girls purchased new records. Enjoyment and Education Nature Observation Club Correct identification of birds, trees, flowers, and plants was the aim of the Nature Observation Club sponsored by Miss Faust. Their observations closely followed the ma- terial studied in Biology class. After learn- ing the characteristics of birds and plants, they took excursions in nearby wooded areas and in parks to identify the things they had studied. One of the projects of the club this year was an educational display of Yuletide decorations which featured conservation of plants and trees. Music Club Front Row-B. Wilbur, D. Berry, D. Caputo, S.

Snappy Action Photography Club Under the supervision of Mr. Yoder, the Photography Club members learned how to take pictures, and how to develop and en- large them. Topics of interest to amateur photographers, such as types of cameras and famous photographers, were discussed at various meetings. The parts of the camera were studied so the function of each would be understood. In the spring an exhibition was planned and the best pictures were sent as entries to the national photography contest. Roller Skating Club For all students, from the beginners learn- ing to skate to the fancy figure skaters, the Roller Skating Club, under the able direction of Mr. Morse, offered a period of fun and relaxation. The club met at the rink in Jaffa Mosque and outsiders were welcomed at all times. Advanced skaters acted as instructors and taught many new steps to the members. To add to the enjoyment, skating parties were held on special occasions. Page One Hundred Y Fickes, E. Gardner, J. Curry, P. Spring- J. M'll B K ffm F. M Kee Soyster, J. Tremmel, L. Freed, M.

Social Dancing Club There was fun galore when We got "hep" and danced at the Teen-Age Club. Twice a month, approximately one hundred and eighty boys and girls hurried across town, to participate in a session of social dancing under the sponsorship of Miss Buck. Many of the latest steps were taught to the beginners by the more adept members of the club. It pleased the veteran dancers to watch the enthusiastic efforts and pro- Kcep in Step gress of the learners as they responded to the instruction given to them. There was never a dull moment after the juke box began to play the most favored dance hits of the day. Since dancing is such a popular recreation, the club was formed to provide a greater opportunity in this field for the high school students. The club members appreciated the priv- ilege of meeting at the Teen-Age Club build- ing and thoroughly enjoyed each session. Page One Hundred One Squad Leaders Front Row-E. Daugherty, B. Reiney, D.

Ask any sophomore or junior! Besides leading the regular twelve "muscle building" exercises, each one led his squad in work such as volleyball and practice for the gym tests at the end of the year. Swimming and Water Safety Club Anyone who wants to become a second Esther Williams or a Johnny Weismuller should be a member of the Swimming and Water Safety Club, but the organization also fits the need of everyone who enjoys swim- ming.

These were only two of the many suggestions given everyday by the members of the hall patrol who strove to keep order in the corridors. The Patrol was sponsored by Miss Lauver who was aided by capable captains. This year, there was fine cooperation between the Patrol and the Senate and together they solved numerous "trafic" problems, thus they served both students and teachers. This Way, Please Ushers Club Despite weather conditions, the girl ushers, under the supervision of Miss Eyre and Miss Lauver, were found on duty for every home game. The ushers club was organized for the express purpose of ushering for school ac- tivities, but it also ushered for community performances. This year the girls received maroon and white overseas caps which they wore at the football games for identification. The girls sold basketball pencils and pins to help pay for the caps.

Instruments tuning up-a lot of discordant notes-then, under the expert direction of Mr. Krivsky, the notes are blended into a melody. The band practiced diligently to prepare music for school sports events, participation in com- Mr. Krivsky munity events, and particularly for the annual concert. This year, the concert was presented in February. "On the Trail" and "Porgy and Bess" got the program under way. The cornet, bassoon, and piano Were all featured in solo numbers. "Annie Laurie, A La Moderne" was rendered by a cornet trio and the symphonic poem "Finlandia" was presented by the entire group. Lively folk tunes, marches, and novelties lent zest to the performance. The musicians were highly com- plimented on this concert. The general public, as Well as A. H. S. "fans," were pleased with the presentation of popular songs' at football and basketball games. The drills presented before football games and during intermission at the half required steady practice and careful planning. Page One Hundred Eight amuse V rchestra Orchestra Personnel: R. Ake, J.

S. halls, you were probably listening to one of the many practice sessions which the orchestra held prior to its annual concert, which was presented in March. One of the main features of the con- cert Was "Rhapsody in Blue," a piano solo. Two sisters displayed fine talent in a piano duet. Sev- eral other solo numbers were included in the program, and a flute quartet added a novelty. The audience also enjoyed the ultra-modern "Sa- tirical Dance" by the group. The performance was ended by MacDonald's "Rhumba," demon- strating the South American style of music. During the year the orchestra helped to "set the stage" for school plays and programs and for regular assemblies. Many of the members of this group were also participants in the Altoona Civic Symphony concerts and in other commu- nity programs. Page One Hundred Nine Weber, J. Wenner, N. Whipple, Our Accompanists C6 au ht . ariettai' Two capacity audiences went back to an eighteenth century setting in New Orleans with the cast of "Naughty Marietta," which was presented as the annual show this year. The choral groups of the school sang colorful num- bers. A special orchestra played the overture and the musical score. The amusing dialogue was absorbing, and the songs were beautiful and spirited. Dancers, a magician, and a marimba trio added variety to the performance. Mr. Lindaman's A Cappella Choir was responsible for the major part of "Naughty Marietta." They also partici- pated in community events such as the Brotherhood Week concert given in February. The Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs were entertained by the group several times during the year. One assembly program, arranged for the Girls League members, included several numbers by the choir and sev- eral selections by Janet Blair and her husband, Louis Busch. Miss Blair had been a member of the choir While attending A. H. S., and she was one of the many persons who compli- mented the group on their fine work during this year. A Cappella Choir Members: R.

Page One Hundred Ten 66341019 Home Againw "Back Home Again," the 1946 annual show, was a sequel to "That Letter from Home," pro- duced in '44. Two G. I.'s, who had but recently returned from the front, were dining in New York at the Coach and Fourg as they enjoyed the hospitality of the inn, they recalled some of the lighter mo- ments of their war-time travels-memories which were enacted on the stage. France, with its romantic singing and dancing, was first portrayed. Experiences in Italy with spirited dances, accordion music, and beautiful operatic arias, made a colorful scene. Russian folk dances, music, and fancy skating gave glimpses of life in that little-known country. The mystic Orient produced acrobatic dances and hand-balancing feats that were close rivals of those by professionals, traditional Oriental magic held a prominent place. A hasty trip from New York brought the G. I.'s to A. H. S. for a minstrel with jesting, singing, and dancing-a very merry celebration for a very merry occasion.

The Girls Chorus, under the direction of Miss Alma Eberle, was very active in community and social affairs, it also participated in various school programs. The chorus provided entertainment for several conventions held in the Penn-Alto Hotel. At intervals during the year, the mem- bers were invited to enrich the P. T. A. programs of local schools. In the traditional holiday spirit, the girls sang a num- ber of selections in the Christmas Pageant. A selected group of girls gave especially fine octet numbers for a Junior Class meeting and for several community affairs. The members enjoyed singing various type of music. The blending of their voices was beautiful and harmonious, especially when they sang the beloved spirituals. Their repertoire included sacred and semi-classical music, and selections with a lighter touch. This variety of numbers studied during the year enabled them to fit into any type of program. The chorus not only rendered service to the school, but it also pleased community organizations with its fine co- , - operation-an excellent example of school and community MISS Eberle working together.

The combined groups sang at the community Brother- hood Week Observance, blending their voices with those of other local choirs and musical organizations. The two chorus groups in the local presentation of Judas Maccabeus were composed of members of this choir, and the girls were highly complimented on their perform- ance. They participated in the production of "Naughty Mari- etta." Entertaining at other local community meetings and for our own P. T. A. were tasks right in their line. The girls practiced solo work and established confidence in their own singing by each presenting a solo before the members of her own class. Each girl was required to do this as part of her training. The girls found it very helpful in gaining poise and self-confidence. Another interesting feature about this plan was that, after the girls had all presented their numbers, a group of the best was chosen to present a program for the parents. School assembly programs and other school and com- munity events were strengthened and enlivened by their musical aid. ' Page One Hundred Thirteen islfnctive St les Brass Choir The members of the Brass Choir used a variety of brass instruments. Since their type of music was best suited to religious programs, the boys were in great demand for Christmas and Easter services. They thor- oughly enjoyed playing for the children's Christmas party at the Jaffa Mosque. The Y. W. C. A. Choir engaged them to help with programs for Christmas, and various local churches secured their services during the year. Community organizations were enter- tained by members of the group, at their meetings during special seasons. ii wg il! Brass Choir Front Row-K. Yon. D. Roberts. G. Isenberg, J. Estep, P.

The group presented num- bers for assembly programs and pleased all types of dancers at school parties. Both the "jitter-bugs" and the "slow" dancers found the band adept at satisfying their requests. The band was composed of a group of high school students who were willing to use their special type of musical ability to provide entertainment for their fellow classmates.

H. S. Long hard practices were put into the Eng- lish Department play, "It's All in Your Head." The result was an entertaining performance that pleased the enthusiastic audience. A capacity crowd attended, and last-minute buyers were disappointed as all tickets were sold several days before the play. This mystery-comedy showed the humorous activities of the Prescott family, while at the same time it threw an air of suspicion over the strange activities of their household. In an old-fashioned melodrama, "Curse You, Jack Dalton," a handsome, dashing hero rescued the lovely damsel from the clutches of a villian. The love affairs of Emily and her sister were straightened out to the satisfaction of all con- cerned in "Nine Lives of Emily." Another huge success was the thriller of the year, "The Ghost Story." Besides these stage performances, the students presented programs over the public address system. The student body was impressed with the excellent portrayal of the stage scenes and the beauty of the sacred music in the Christmas pageant, "Gloria" Page One Hundred.

S. and their coaches produced a team which Won great admiration and respect from both A. H. S. students and their opponents. A11 teams save one were bowled over with comparative ease by the powerful Mountain Lions in their eagerness for victory. It was a great season as the second and third string, as well as the Hrst string, saw plenty of action against some of the best grid teams in the state. Altoona first dirtied their new white and silver uniforms when Peabody made the journey from Pittsburgh to carry home the sorry end of a 34-6 score. Prosperi took the kick-off for Altoona and on the fifth play passed to Raber for thirty-nine yards and our first touchdown of 1946. The powerful Mountain Lions could easily have made more than their five touchdowns. The A. H. S. gridders played host to an- other Pittsburgh team when they handed Westinghouse a 20-6 defeat. Ray Prosperi took the kick-off on his 20-yard line and Page One Hundred Twenty Win ou gh attles li R R E Q R D Teams AHS Opp. Peabody ......... ..... 3 4 6 g Westinghouse ........ ,.... 2 0 6 New Castle ..... ..... 1 3 6 if Latrobe ........ ..... 1 3 0 Greensburg .......A . . ..... 25 0 Windber ...... ..... 2 0 12 Donora ..... .,.,. 1 4 24 Braddock ,...... ..... 4 2 6 if Williamsport ..... ..... 1 2 7 W? 1.1 1 Totals ......... ..... 1 93 67 Coach Bashore 'Round End Play Stopped Cold Touchdown Ball Stealing Off for the Goal Down the Sideline Over the Top Up and at 'Em All Hands on the Ball .4-"' ' Exkv" 9 VK'L .n i 1 , ..,... .

The next score was made late in the third period, when a Prosperi-to-Singer pass netted 22 yards to the two-yard mark. Singer scored on the next play. Both teams made last period touchdowns. The Altoona Lions toured to New Castle for a night game in which they humbled the Red Hurricanes by the score 13-6 for their first W. P. I. A. L. game. New Castle scored in the first period but it was called back be- cause of clipping. Altoona attacked from the air in the second period, however, and rang up six points in spite of several penalties. The Lions scored again in the third period. The A. H. S. gridders received the Wild- cats of Latrobe at Mansion Park and won their second W. P. I. A. L. game 13-0. Al- toona took the kick-off and, without losing possession of the ball, marched for a touch- Ref. Says It's Good The Big Seven Yea, Team down, in spite of a wet field. Receiving a punt to open the second period, Altoona marched 71 yards in eight plays for another score. Altoona dominated the last period. The Mountain Lions left Altoona for a W. P. I. A. L. night game at Greensburg from which they returned with a 25-0 vic- tory. Nobody scored in the first period but Altoona made up for that in the second with two touchdown drives. The Lions kept up the tempo by making another touchdown in each of the last two periods. There were lots of passes, laterals, and long runs. The Altoona lads grabbed a 20-12 victory from a dogged Windber team that visited us at Mansion Park. Altoona started a first- period drive which ended in the second period as Prosperi tore through tackle for eleven yards and a score. Although both teams threatened, there were no more scores until the third period when Altoona went eighty- one yards for another score. The last quar- ter held the thrills, though, when Windber made two quick touchdowns to Altoona's one.

The Mountain Lions fought hard to preserve their W. P. I. A. L. chances, but the Donora boys had other ideas. Altoona battered their way to a touchdown just after a Donora score in the early stages of the game. The second quarter saw Donora make a touchdown and a safety. The Lions made a touchdown in the last period but the Dragons made both a touchdown and a safety. Braddock came to Altoona to receive a merciless trouncing at the hands of our Maroon eleven. Both teams were stalemated in the first period, but Altoona ran rough- shod over the Braddock gang for the rest of the game to produce a score of 42-6. Braddock's only touchdown came on a pass interception about midiield. Though the Tigers fought hard, they were hopelessly out- classed. The last and most thrilling game of the season, which the Lions won 12-7, was with Williamsport at Mansion Park. Neither team was able to do anything in the first period although both teams came perilously close to paydirt in the second quarter. The real excitement came in the second half as Al- toona, receiving the kick-off, reeled off ninety-five yards in six plays for the first score of the day. The Cherry retaliated late in the quarter, however, and led 7-6. Altoona made another touchdown in the last period and was on the Cherry's seven-yard line with a first down when the game ended.

The Altoona High School Junior Varsity, under the leadership of Coaches Black and Adams, has gained such prominence and respect in their class that they are having difficulty finding opponents for future games. They have bowed only once in the last three years. The boys played only three games this year, although four had been scheduled originally. The A. H. S. Jay Vees started off their new season with a 35-0 victory over Mahaffey to maintain their winning streak. The boys were held score- less in the first period but cut loose in the second for three touchdowns. We also made seven points in each of the following quarters. All fifty-two boys saw action in one of our best field days. The Jay Vees had a game scheduled with Robertsdale, but that was called off at the last minute because of muddy conditions at our field. Our Junior Gridders emerged victorious from a game with Bigler Township with a 39-6 score. Passes and runs alike were the style that day, and the Little Lions met no opposition as they hit pay dirt six times against Bigler's one touchdown. Again, all our boys saw action, and, strangely enough, Bigler substitutions were frequent, with their second string seeing much action. The A. H. S. Jay Vees played the first away game in their history when they traveled to Carrolltown for a night game. They were defeated by the Carrolltowners, 6-0, for their first defeat in three seasons. The field was very muddy and both teams were handicapped greatly by slipping and fumbling. Carrolltown took advantage of a blocked kick on our one- foot line for a score just before the game ended.

S. basketball schedule for 1947 with high hope, since the team had three veteran cagers from the previous year who had stayed in the running until the state semi-finals. Everyone was also anxious to see what would happen with cage Coach Ray Hoffman resigning and Coach Phil Rice, from Duquesne High, tak- ing over. Leon Kensinger of Morrison Cove assumed duties as coach of the Jay Vees. The cagers launched their schedule with three games, two on the spacious Jaffa Mosque fioor. The varsity played Cresson High, defeating the latter 46-22, while the reserves defeated the Hi-Y Lions 34-21. The Junior Varsity went to Morrison Cove and lost 26-21. For the second home game of the season the A. H. S. cagers played two Mount Union teams, trimming the varsity 47-13 and the junior varsity 44-3 in a runaway event.

Coach Kensinger Playing host to New Castle, the Altoona Lions trailed the first half but rallied in the second to make the score 42-32. The Jay Vees won 50-11 from Morrison Cove in the preliminaries. As usual the cagers had a tough time lick- ing the alumni team, winning by a mere 33-28, made possible only by a terrific last minute spurt. Playing their first away game of the sea- son, the A. H. S. cagers defeated the Hun- tingdon quintet 57-41, using all seventeen players. Our Jay Vees won 26-22 from the Huntingdon Juniors. On the road again, the Mountain Lions played Cresson a second time, outshooting the Indians to Win 37-20. A fifteen-foot ceil- ing handicapped both teams and necessitated much passing.

A Week later the Mountain Lions played host to a classy Williamsport gang, squash- ing the Billporters 48-36. Altoona trailed five points at the half but rallied later to run roughshod over the Cherry. Our Jay Vees won 22-19. Playing on the Jaffa iloor, Phil Rice's boys defeated Hollidaysburg High 44-27 in a one- sided show. In the preliminary, our Jay Vees won 42-11 for their seventh straight victory. Trailing all during the game, the Mountain Lions rallied in the last two -minutes of play to defeat a tough Johnstown gang 39-36. After Altoona's trailing by three points at the end of each of the first three quarters, the capacity crowd nearly went wild. Johns- town's Jay Vees won 25-19. Using all seventeen players, Coach Rice's boys easily won from the Mount Union Tro- jans with a deceiving 45-33 score. In the J . Stoehr R. O'Donnell preliminary the Jay Vees swamped Mount Union 61-24. Touring to Franklin, the A. H. S. cagers slaughtered the Blue Jays 58-28, twelve of our boys scoring in our twelfth consecutive victory. The Mountain Lions seized the lead early and never gave the Franklin boys a chance. ,The Jay Vees had a little more trouble, winning 25-15. Playing a rough and tumble game, Altoona defeated a spunky I-Iollidaysburg team 49-40. Both teams shared in the early leads but Altoona soon forged ahead. Our Jay Vees won the preliminary 33-24. Playing at Jaffa Mosque, the Mountain Lions conquered the Huntingdon Bearcats by a score of 55 to 34. Altoona didn't push too hard, using subs in the last three quar- ters. Our Junior Lions swamped the Bear- kittens 57-20. Acting as host to their Johnstown High rivals, the A. H. S. cagers defeated the for- mer 45-38 for their fifteenth straight victory. The Lions really trimmed the Johnnies, be- Page One Hundred Thirty-one N1 A Tip from the Coach ing far ahead until the last quarter when they relaxed a bit. The A. H. S. Jay Vees won, 25-17. Touring to Williamsport, the Mountain Lions suffered their first defeat of the sea- son, losing 37-41. It was a tense game the whole way through with both teams holding the leads, but our boys fell under in the last period. Our Jay Vees won 29-27. Rolling up the highest score in many years, the A. H. S. cagers downed South Williams- port 67-35 in a first round district No. 6 play- off at State College. The South Williamsport boys were hopelessly outclassed, being licked from the start. Playing and defeating Huntingdon for a third time this year, the Mountain Lions swamped the Bearcats 57-39 to win their second playoff game. The Lions were off to a 13-1 lead from the start and entered the last quarter with a 50-21 lead. Losing in an upset to Westmont-Upper Yoder in the District No. 6 playoff, Altoona High suffered its worst defeat in thirty years of basketball. The score: 60-46.

In addition to holding several state championships, our boys hold all Dis- trict 6 records and have held the District 6 Championship for the last eighteen consecu- tive years. After two handicap meets, the tracksters contested with the alumni team and won easily. The following week our relay team went to the Penn Relays at Franklin Field, while the remainder of our team toured to Wash- ington, Pennsylvania, for the W. P. I. A. L. meet. Our boys placed third in both meets. The team went to Johnstown the next week for the Pitt Junior Interscholastic Meet, from which it emerged victorious. Fluke won the 100 and 220-yard dashes: Weaver, the high jump, Black, the discus, and Wood and Guido, the shot put. Next was a dual meet with Johnstown at Mansion Park which A. H. S. easily won, taking eleven out of thirteen events. staged at Mansion Park. The A. H. S. track- men won this meet with five firsts and six seconds. Altoona turned in new time for the shuttle relay at this meet. Three days later, Altoona High's track team toured to Williamsport for a dual meet and snatched a victory from the Cherry squad in spite of rainy conditions. Altoona won both dashes, the 440-yard event, the high and low hurdles, the shot put, javelin, and discus. Still undefeated, A. H. S. played host to the District Six track and Held champion- ships and captured the seventeenth straight title in the A Class. Our boys placed in all fifteen events, collecting a total of 8815 points. Fluke, Altoona's captain, was again star of the day, winning the 100, 220, and 440-yard events. Lucas won both hurdles and Guido took shot and discus honors. The following week, eleven of our top track men went to State College for the State Meet, in which they placed fourth.

S., discontinued five years ago when the coach went into the armed forces, was resumed last year under the leadership of Coach Hugh Black upon his return from the navy. The boys, who were quite enthusiastic over the sport, did a good job of upholding A. H. S. tradition. Our team opened the season by touring to Mercersburg Academy, where the A. H. S. Elephants snatched a 7-4 decision. John Stoehr and Ed Matulnes, who divided time on the mound, allowed only six hits. In their second away game, the Elephants defeated Hollidaysburg 12-2. Mike Turcovski, Altoona short stop had three hits and three runs in four times at bat! Three days later, the Mountain Lion team suffered its first defeat of the season, being handed a 4-0 shutout by a crack alumni squad. Back in form, the A. H. S. baseball boys slaughtered Claysburg High 9-1. Our fielders did well, considering that both teams had seven hits. Playing their third home game, the Ele- phants won a 3-2 decision over Cresson. The game was close all the time, and both teams had trouble because of rain. In its second and last defeat of the season, the A. H. S. baseball squad lost a 1-0 victory to the boys of Bigler Township. Altoona threatened many times to make runs, but they never materialized. Four days later, Coach Hugh B1ack's Mountain Lions pounded three hurlers for 13 hits to take a run-away 19-2 decision at Clearfield for the highest score of the season. Touring to Cresson, the Elephants won from the Indians 9-3, in a seven-inning con- test. Brehman of Altoona starred, making three runs. Playing host to Mercersburg, Altoona handed the academy boys another defeat in a 7-0 white-washing. Johnny Stoehr, on the mound for Altoona, allowed only one hit. Playing Claysburg for the second time, the Elephants gave the Bricktown team a 10-1 shellacking in a seven-inning game. Our boys turned in a six-run inning at the Claysburg field. Winding up the season, the A. H. S. base- ball club Won from Hollidaysburg 13-5 at the Maple Avenue iield. Hepner, pitching for Altoona, allowed only five hits.

Athletic Council The Athletic Council supervises all ath- letics in Altoona Senior High School, includ- ing varsity, junior varsity, and intramural sports. The council meets semi-monthly under the authority of the Board of Direc- tors. In addition to the regular members, coaches of individual sports attend these meetings when their particular sport is con- cerned. The council consists of the president and the secretary of the school board, the super- intendent of schools, the high school princi- pal, three faculty members, and a student representative. This group is responsible for the making of schedules, purchase of equipment, and arrangements for games. Page One Hundred Cheer Leaders Come on Altoona-Beat that team!!! . . . Here's a cheer for those cheerleaders who worked so hard to organize the cheering in pep meetings, and at the football and basket- ball games. They put forth a lot of effort in providing the students with a variety of ef- fective, well-executed cheers. Under the supervision of Mr. Wood, the boys did a fine job of supporting our athletic heroes. Their encouragement helped our boys on the gridiron to romp through victory after victory. Their enthusiastic support also enabled our basketball team to score baskets in the tight spots, when pressed for time.

S. for the benefit of those boys who desire athletic activities but lack the time or ability to participate in varsity sports. Nearly all the boys who do not participate in varsity sports are active in the intramural schedule. Intramural sports, which are supervised by Mr. Morse, include touch football, track, baseball, and foul shooting. Boxing and wrestling were engaged in until this year but have now been discontinued since Mr. Morse assumed coaching duties. The boys meet after school in the boys' gym to participate in the various events. Though there is practically no publicity for the intramural sports, many of the boys Work quite earnestly and industriously to make them successful. Due to this attitude there is developed a keen sense of competition among the various homerooms. These sports de- velop alertness and coordination among the participants. Banners are awarded to each of the win- ning homerooms as recognition of their Page One Hundred Forty-two achievement. These banners are retained by the winning homerooms until the next year when new rooms win them. The touch football is first on the schedule of intramural sports. The teams consist of seven men, three of whom are backs. The play lasts about twenty minutes with a two- minute rest between each half. First downs are granted with each five-yard gain. Basketball is the only intramural sport with both a winner's and a loser's bracket. Strike! This year, oddly enough, 106, winner of the loser's bracket, played Room 325, best of the winner's bracket, and defeated the latter. For the track events, the 50, 75, 100, and 220-yard dashes are staged along with the broad jump, high jump, the pole vault, shot-put, discus, and javelin. Frank Corrado, winning the foul shooting for the second consecutive year, tied the school record, making 74 out of 100 attempts.

As usual, the year started with many girls taking part in hockey, but due to unfavor- able Weather conditions that game was dis- continued earlier than usual. The girls, be- ing forced indoors, turned enthusiastically to the kickball activities, those who were in- terested in playing after school were ar- ranged in teams and the tournament pro- ceeded With vigorous playing and much com- petition. Basketball was a big feature of intramural sports this year. Two Weeks of practice, in which the girls learned the rules and regu- lations of the games, preceded the tourna- ment. Each of the members of the lucky winning teams received ten extra points to- ward their awards.

With the usual vim and vigor, volleyball was in full swing immediately following the Easter recess. It was followed by badminton and mushball which brought to a close the intramural program.
