Ambridge schools firmly believe in a victory through Education. This victory they are working for does not mean just an immediate victory of our armies but of a victory which will enable all people to live pleasantly in a peaceful world. To further this objective courses have been placed in the school system which will not only enable our boys and girls to enter the armed services better prepared but will equip them with the essentials which we think will be necessary to work efficiently in the post-war peri- od. High school students are given courses which provide culture ability to use leisure time in a worthwhile manner improve health and fit them for worthwhile positions. Through an education in these phases we look for Victory Through Education.

I I PAGEANT The presentation of the stirring pag- eant entitled America proved to be the most interesting impressive and success- ful Commencement exercises in the his- tory of the Ambridge High School. The difference between the l94l-42 affair and the predecessors was the elimination of the usual orations and addresses s the members of the graduating class por- trayed the confused state of the world and the events leading up to the present crisis. After the singing of The Star Spangled Banner by the audience Kenneth Hulet in the role of Uncle Sam the Voice of America told what America stood for how hard work had made it the top-rank- ing nation of the world. He also told how its citizens coming from every part of the globe made it a better place to live in. The Chorus sang Ballad for America which provided the motif of the pageant. Representing the countries which have been the victims of the Nazis eight Sen- iors Joanne Mellott Julia Senata Veron ict Niklewicz Steve Skapic Margaret By- cura Jeanne Shippan Harry Bielski and John Athens in native costumes imper- sonated Ethiopia China Poland Czecho- slovakia Yugoslavia Netherlands France and Greece respectively. Each of the countries cried out to America to help them expressing what they were going through. But Uncle Sam turned a deaf ear explaining that America was not pre- pared and that it wanted no more A.E.F.s or no more war. Hawaii enacted by Eve- lyn Hartstein then came on the scene and after her announcernent of what hap- America rose up and after explaining that we were in the war whether we wanted to fight or not introduced a Ma- rine Soldier Sailor Red Cross Nurse American worker and Civilian Defenses portrayed by Francis Mildanner William Hronas David Rittlemann Beatrice Dale David Barr Ruth Wolfe and Ann Mosura Il ll l I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I a I I Il I II I I I I I I I f pened at Pearl Harbor, the Voice of I I I II II 1 I I I I I I I , I 1 1 I 1 r ' 1 ' -27.- meacaal T? flll xx fl l X xfxl fi'-f Z The Commerclal Department IS teaching Its students the fundamentals of business edu cation Shorthand typong bookkeeping and buslness law are a few examples ot the practu cal subjects taught In thus course To equnp the students of today to become the stenogra pher businessman and Industrial manager ot tomorrow IS the job ofthe commercial teacher How well they have succeeded has been proven In the past by the number of Ambrldge Hugh Commercials who go unto local lndustry and busaness -fjmjb, ,ge ., 3, l fff fe fs.-. ffl' 1.

This year's gym program is more serious than that of former years because of the many boys who will be affected by the draft. The gym work this year is designed to de- velop coordination, alertness, skill, and ag- gressiveness, as well as all-around strength. To achieve these abilities, rope climbing, tumbling, calisthenics, and military drill are being taught. In addition, the more popular sports, boxing, football, basketball, mush- ball, and wrestling, add spice to the other- wise uninteresting program. The Obstacle Course will also provide something novel for the boys, More serious interest has been shown by the students toward calisthenics than in former years. The intramural sports, such as basketball and mushball, are very popular, and well participated in. The pupils, as well as the teachers, know that today's students are tomorrow's soldiers and world builders. ln acknowledgment of this fact, both are striving to make the boys strong and healthy.
