THE IUNIUR CLASS HE junior Class was organized soon after the opening of school and choose from their group Walter McCall as president, Betty lane Kring as vice-president, Marie Weaver as secretary, and Barbara Temyer as treasurer. Miss Alice E, Boyer and Mr, Robert F, Kautz were chosen as class deans. The class consists of one hundred and one members. The boys out- number the girls as fifty-eight are boys, and forty-three are girls. Rooms 208, 209, 210 are junior home rooms. Miss Alice E. Boyer, Mr. joseph H. jones and Mr. Paul E. Berkebile are the home room teachers. Wishing to be able to give the Senior Class either a banquet or a party, the junior Class set about obtaining money. This was done chiefly through selling wax paper and by roller-skating party and the sport hop. Each mem- ber assisted in promoting these projects, so that the class has been able to raise the necessary money. A few of the junior Class members have ordered their class rings. The rings are of a standard design with a choice of gold or silver with either onyx or ruby sets or a plain ring. There are pins to match and some juniors plan to have the set before graduation. Members of the junior Class figure prominently in almost every school activity. Room 209 captured the Senior High School basketball championship. juniors are outstanding members of the football, basketball, wrestling, and track teams. The girls are also Well represented in sports. The juniors are not only outstanding in sports, but in other fields as well. The class is re- presented in the band, orchestra, chorus, school newspaper, dramatic pre- sentations and hobby clubs.

THE SENIOR CLASS T noon time one day soon after school started, all seniors were asked to attend a meeting for organization purposes in the gym. Mr. Telford Blough took charge at that time and nominations were made for the various class officers. One day later class members voted for the persons of their choice in each respective position with the following being elected: Edgar O'Connor, presidentg Ruth Wenerd, vice-president: Foster Custer, secretaryg Alfred Ferrari, treasurer. The first senior social event was held in the form of a Christmas praty and dance in the school gymnasium December 30. Horace Stokes' orchestra provided music for the seventy-five couples who attended the affair, Deco- rations appropriate to the season, few lights, good refreshments, and inter- esting games added immeasurably to the success of the class's first social 6V6l'1f. Early in Ianuary senior officers together with the other senior high class representatives as a committee selected school rings. A design was made up incorporating symbols from mining and farming, the leading industries in the township. A seal was made and will probably be used in other school materials. The seniors' final project was the first volume of the Connumach. From a group of four applicants the seniors selected Marjorie Rowe as editor- in-chief. Alex Keenan was appointed business manager.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS HE Sophomore Class, organized on December 28, 1938 under the super' vision of Mr. Telford Blough, elected officers to serve for one year and class deans to advise the class for three years. Miss Carol Henderson and Mr. Iohn Kaufman were chosen as class deans, Officers elected were: Doris Blough, president: Franklin Weaver, vice president: Constance Caro- sello, secretaryg Steve Kuchman, treasurer. The Sophomore's main social event of the year was a roller skating party held at the Bridge Street Rink in Iohnstown. The two hundred fifty persons attending the affair made the event an outstanding success. Further activity included selling of Wade Products to bolster the newly-formed treasury. Through the four home room representatives the Sophomore class enthusiastically participated and supported their own activities and those of other organizations in the school. Despite the fact that all of our members have attended other high schools before coming to Conemaugh Township, there is little rivalry among the representatives from the various schools. The boys and girls from Fern- dale, Boswell, Windber and Cochran are all doing their best to make loyal Conemaugh Township High School students and are showing promise of being a class worthy of notice.
