PUBLISHED FOR THE STUDENT BODY DOF CONEMAUGH of NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-ONE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL AT DAVIDSVILLE Volume Three 9 T761 :IO SSVTO HOINE-IS EIHLL AEI IN WORD AND PICTURE If through these pictures and words the school year of 1940-41 at Conemaugh Township High School is reproduced then the purpose of the editors will have been achieved. Every yearbook editor is faced with the task of making a new book yet the subjects remain practically the same. The editors of the 1941 Connumach have tried to be original in their use of charcoal drawings, made by art students and used in division pages. In the scheme of decoration used on these pages a fresh idea was used. A new and pleasing effect used in both senior and club sections is the including of informal shots with individual and group portraits.

BLOUGH Office Secretary Vice-Principal 8 Nineteen forty-one is a memorable year in the history of our high school. The present graduating class is the last of the three groups who had their roots in other schools. From now on we are on our own. The faithfulness and loyalty of the classes of 1939, 1940 and l94l, trans- ferred to a new Conemaugh Township High School, should stand ever as a monument of inspiration for those who continue to add to the traditions which have been so nobly begun. 3 But 1941, also, is the ending of a strange decade--and epoch conceived and born in the chaos of depression. High school classes ten years ago faced an uncertain world. A whole generation of unwanted youth were wasting away in the disillusions of another generation. There were no fancy jobs waiting-in fact no jobs at all. Life was useless, living futile. Or, so it seemed then. Today is different. The notions of an individual just ten years ago have changed our coming in and our going out, our thinking and our singing, our work and our play. Today youth is des- perately needed to save democracy even for ourselves, a task which your fathers believed they had accomplished for the whole world. There is a new challenge to our freedom, a new threat to our liberty, and a new breaking of our con- fidence. Enemies lurk even within our own gates. True, youth is wanted today but war, the great destroyer of youth, fathers the demand. But there is a call, the call to blood, toil, tears and sweat. It is a call that begs for the tough fibre of a strong American youth, youth filled with the spirit of loyalty, devotion and self-sacri- fice in the new service of an old ideal- democracy. ' No one knows the uncertain future. And yet we must face it unafraid. War. Depression, or Prosperity-face forward with the confident hope that a better world is in the making. We will continue to plant trees, to grow shrubs and to cultivate flowers even about our own high school, knowing full well that better and more beautiful days will greet those who follow if we break not faith with those who went before. This is our task. TELFORD B. BLOUGH - THE SCHOOL BOARD LEFT TO RIGHT-Kerby Hamer, C. R. Kring, treasurerg Earl Mishler, president, Ioseph Pugh, vice-president, R.' C.

Conemaugh Township High School's Faculty club began its 1940-41 season before the previous one was over since officers were elected during the last meet- ing in May. At that time because of the fine work of the first year officers the group unanimously selected them to lead the organization during the second year. Persons selected were Howard L. Helsel, president, Iohn Kaufman, vice-president, and Elizabeth T. Schrall, secretary-treas- urer. When September came around, it was found that the vice-president had become employed in private industry and that his office was left vacant. Accord- ingly Elizabeth Lohr was selected to the post of vice-president. I wwf XWW In September the group started things off in a big way by holding a corn and Weiner roast at Telford B. Blough's cat- tage along the Somerset Pike. Food was prepared under the direction of Eleanor Zimmerman, Marguerite Ward, and Ruth Ioseph. Robert Haynes supplied corn for the affair. Using Mr. Blough's rifle, male faculty members tried their skill at shoot- ing mark. The sights were off so no bull's eyes were made. Quite a few of the members enjoyed badminton while others sat around the fire toasting marshmallows and spinning yarns. During September the group was treated to cider and cook- ies through the kindness of Verda Long and Eleanor Zimmerman. At the first regular meeting held in the school building a committee composed of Verda Long, Mrs. Helen Boyts Aldstalt, Telford B. Blough, Peter Fee and Robert Haynes submitted a recommendation that teachers buy a season activities ticket which would include admission to plays, athletic events, lyceum, and would pro- vide an issue of the Contownian each Week. The group unanimously accepted the proposal. At the November meeting of the group president Helsel was requested by the group to appoint a committee to make a study of disciplinary trouble in the halls and to give not only criticisms but recom- mendations also. Appointed to this com- mittee Were Mrs. Melba Beech, Miss Ethel Bender, Robert Haynes, Mrs. Ruth Kelly. and Thomas Webber. At the next meeting this group submitted seven proposals con- cerning hall conduct and remedies. The group decided that a committee of not less than five people appointed by Mr. Blough and Mr. Helsel should take these recommendations and see that they were put into effect. This committee was to work with the student council and the administrative office in setting the recom- mendations into motion. Kenneth Thomas. Mrs. Melba Beech, Robert Haynes, How- ard Helsel, Elizabeth Schrall, and Eliza- beth Lohr represented the faculty in this committee While Duane Iacobs, Mike Krajnak, Helen Trevorrow, Robert Barndt. Ianis Barron, and Helen Horbiak repre- sented the students. This group set up rules for students and faculty, organized a student court, appointed monitors and set the plan into motion. Very desirable results are already apparent. Progressing in the direction of pro- viding leisure time activities for students, a social-recreational committee headed by Paul Berkebile, Peter Fee, Marie Lower, Iane Thom, and Mary Crock took the first step in this direction by suggest- ing that the record playing machine be purchased from the classes and be made all school property. The classes approved the plan and the machine was duly pur- chased. Since that time free noon danc- ing, outside games, checkers, archery, and other activities were offered to the students before and after school and at noon. About this time of the year Ruth joseph was selected to represent the faculty on the school store board of di- rectors and to assist in distributing the profits. Other members serving on this board were, Carolyn Segel, Telford B. Blough. and G. W. Stephens of the facultyg Betty Iarvis, and Lela Mae Blough representing the school store management and the students respectivelyg and C. R. Kring of the school board. From profits made by the school store athletic bills were paid, the record playing machine was pur- chased, books were obtained for the li- brary, and some remaining costs of the moving picture projector were reduced. During the month of April a very different type of activity Was engaged in by certain members of the group when they held a spotza party on a farm above the Quemahoning Reservoir. The taffy-like maple substance, syrup, and sugar were immensely enjoyed by the group in attendance. Came the first Week of May and the group with the aid of students and some interested outside persons put on the school's second annual carnival. Although the affair was better organized and offer- ed better attractions than last year's show, the profits were not as great due primarily to the coal strike situation. On May l5, l94l the Faculty Club again journeyed to Mr. Blough's cottage Where an outing was enjoyed by all. During the club's last meeting officers for next year were elected. 4 T THINGS WE ID SENIORS . IUNIORS . SOPHOMORES . FRESHMEN . EIGHTH GRADE EVENTH GRADE . SENIORS , IUNIORS . SOPHOMORES .

IUNIORS ANDRIENE BAKER Broucl-I BORDER BORELLE BRACKEN Behold! Stan:ling on the shores of time we see in the distance a huge ship laden and old with cares, having fought and conquered for three toilsome years, the battles on the uncertain seas of life. Look! It is sailing slowly and quietly into the docks of the peaceful harbor of repose. Bow your heads in reverence as it draws nearer. Our hearts are overflowing with joy and in- spiration as We listen to the exciting adventures told by the crew of faithful fellowmen. Above all other noises the cry of stand by is heard. Here comes the Class of l94l. Three years ago our ship was new, setting out on a dangerous voyage with the guidance of hearty admirals, our teachers leading us through the storms of life, with the success here shown. Even though we are safe in this harbor, we have a greater voyage for the future ahead of us. Remember, keep your head up and face life with a smile. But let us retrace our steps of memory back to our first encounter with a new ship and passengers. The future looked rough and ex- citing. Three years ago a ship and sophomore passengers of Conemaugh Township High School began that long voyage on October 10, 1938. Im- mediately the following officers were elected: Doris Blough, captain, Frank Weaver, co-captaing Connie Carosello, secretary: Steve Kuchman, treasurer. The admirals chosen to guide us were john Kaufman and Carol Henderson. The first exciting event of the journey was the roller-skating party held by the new ship DON- BLouoH DORIS BLouGH BLOUCH BRENNAN BROWN CAPRFTTI at Bridge Street skating rink. Above us the noisy throng of wheels, happy voices could be heard telling us each and every one was having an enjoyable time. One of the most exciting and thrilling hap- penings on our voyage was the killing of a black snake by two of our passengers. It hap- pened in the biology room where the snake had coiled its body and pushed its enormous head against the lid of its quarters, seeking release from captivity. A scream was heard from the girls and instantly Clyde Iennings, who had left us for a different voyage on the sea, and Bob Law came to the rescue, grabbing the snake by the back of its neck. The snake twisted from the grasp of Clyde and bit him in the palm of his hand. Finally it was killed and is now safely kept in formaldehyde in the biology laboratory. Whew! What an exciting experience for that day. It is good to be on the quiet deck again and to listen to passengers telling interesting events in history. Harold Thomas gave a fine talk on world history. Iohn Richko and Steve Kosco, who also plays a clarinet in the band, both cooperated in giving interesting events of history. Our football team was certainly a success for a newly organized group. Eddie Maslanka, our backfieldman who was voted the best per- former in basketball in the St. Francis College tournament our junior voyage, made the first touchdown of the season. Congratulations to Eu- gene Stenger, our center, who has joined another ship on its voyage, for his fine work in football. f 4 ati Will you ever forget the day that the seniors 1 had their tree plant-irtg leer' . ny, presented their J idx .-. .N,. ,,i. -V at S. s, CARosEi.m Conrase DAHODA EICHER Ennis-,x EWANIC FENDER L .1 Q Gsono 2 , .

The ship is at rest in the harbor until vacation time is over. We are ready to resume our voyage out upon the Wide seas on September 6, l939. The shore grows dimmer as We sail along. A future of excitement is ahead of us. The first thing We did was to elect officers for the new year. Doris Blough, captain: Thelma Iones, co-captain: Dor- othy Smith, secretaryp Ann Ewanic, treasurer. How well we all remember the first social event of the voyage. It was a sport hop in honor 'of our football team. Miniature football players decorated the Walls and small footballs served as programs. Iosephine Mastercola ready, willing, and able, helped the other ar- tists in doing an excellent job of the decorations. Our handmen Warren Smith and 'Charles Hen- ninger.were kept busy with getting the gym ready for the dance. Virgil Good, one of the violin players, worked with a smile at everything in which We needed his assistance. Thanks to the juniors the dance was a success. All the football heroes were seen there with smiles on their faces. To help with the financial side of the tour, wax paper was sold throughout the voyage. Thelma Iones, that grand little singer, with full cooperation, succeded in selling a great deal. Mary Fender was a good little saleslady herself. Many days Lena Mae Baker and Betty Iarvis were seen helping the librarian. Kath- ryn Wasil also assisted the passengers with her services. Betty Smith and Hazel Saylor were often found during the trip, in the library in- tent in their studies as were also Iohn Trebus and Francis Wasielewski. 2.

Our basketball team captured three cham- pionships that year. They took the Somerset County Class A title, District 5 and St. Francis tournaments. As members of the varsity, Mas- lanka, Start, Kuchman, Trachok, and Palmino sparkled with great brilliance. A bright future was predicted for the Indians, expecting to advance in a few years. When the call came for football men Bob Andriene was one who came with flying colors. He also came out on top in wrestling. Ioe Cor- tese, that bashful boy, also answered the call. The stately lad, Charles Samfilippo, joined the group in making this year a successful one. The early spring found Iohn Tomaszewski hard at work practicing for track. This squad also won a championship of District 5. Iohn never neglected his studies and certainly takes them serious without letting sports interfere with them. One of the big events of the year was the production of the junior play Pickles Becomes a Lady. Iennie Panasci, with the beautiful black hair, had the leading part. Tall, blonde and handsome Bill Intihar did a fine job in the role of a war veteran. Helen Trevorrow, class editor of Connumach, in all her giggles portrayed her part with finesse. Connie Carosello, student ad- viser of the Contownian, played the part of a walking dictionary. Handsome Frank Weaver acted his part of an aviator to a T. The class president, Doris Blough, was the charming young teacher. Of course a play has to have its vil- lians and, they were none other than Bill Virgin and Iohn Richko. The editor of the Connumach, Dorothy Smith, played the part of a girl who lisped and Glenn Kaufman, the part of a me- chanic who stuttered. josephine Mastercola, Eleanor Reitz, one of the school's bands, Gertie Walker, With her pretty smile, and Lela Mae Blough, an all around girl, played an excellent role in making the cast complete and another success fro the year. The largest event of the year was the junior- Senior Prom on May 24. The passengers danced to the music of Bob Waters, and the gym was decorated with a touch of a modern ballroom. It completed a perfect year of hardships and fun mixed together. The sea calmed down as we entered port for another vacation. Tears were seen in some eyes, others were happy. The crew as well as passengers were tired and intended to spend the vacation in the most pleasant Way possible. Thus ended another voyage with hopes of the next being just as enjoyable as the first two. During the summer Bill Border and Bud Grazier took it easy. Marjorie Kyler spent her time lying in the sun acquiring a good tan that you saw at the beginning of our senior voyage. johnny Bracken was 'seen hunting arrowheads over the hills and vales. Clair Roberts and Alvin 'Marshall forgot completely about school. That is why they were so happy all summer. One and all had a pleasant summer and seemed ready to return to the last of the voyages. Here we are back again after an enjoyable summer on land. This crew has just begun their last journey among the turbulent seas aboard If ' If class day program in assembly, put on the play, The Ghost Tram I 1 you recall the th y INTIHAR KAUFMAN 'P' Conemaugh Township High School. Let us all try our best to make this year the most successful. At the beginning of the trip, the officers elected were: Robert Law, captain: Doris Blough, co-captain: Dorothy Smith, secretary: Iohn Bracken, treasurer. Incidentally, both of our admirals left us this year, seeking new careers of their own. Miss Carol Henderson has joined the matrimonial crew, and Mr. Iohn Kaufman entered work in a new phase of life. The new admirals chosen were Mr. Glenn C. Hess and Miss Elizabeth Schrall. The first important phase of our journey was the selling of stationery. With such capable sales- men as Charles Romeo, Carl Holsopple, and Earl Hostetler, our treasury increased greatly. A few of the seniors lett our comradeship to join the matrimonial career. We wish them the IARVIS IONES t,,f' KAUFMAN KLIMEK CHARLES KLIMEK KQ Koss 'W rs- Qi- f-.. f4 best of luck. Welcome, new passengers on our last trip of this kind. Lois Baldwin and Iune Shriver are back with us again after attending other ships in the past year. Do you remember the barn dance with Iack Eicher and his Hill Billy band? Those hay stacks all around the gym gave it a unique touch. Donald Haney was there in all his glory. Vir- gil Good ancl Paul O'Connor both seemed to be enjoying themselves. Emily Gray and Dorothy Lybarger were in high spirits all evening. Were you there? Didn't you have a grand time? Gee, it's the best dance I attended for a long time, were the expressions heard after the senior Hal1owe'en dance. Witches and black cats decorated the walls. Corn shocks stood in the corners and orange and black streamers were strewn from the ceiling. KYLER LAW LIVINGSTONE DOROTHY LYBARGER MAGGS MARSHALL All the girls were thrilled when that good dancer Ray Weaver came around. It made their hearts beat taster to see Lester Thomas gliding so smoothly over the floor. Oh, wasn't Bill Swain a good barker? Did you see those boys bid on their girl's boxes. They didn't have very big wallets after it was over. The Valentine box social was such a success that you still hear about it. Hazel Vallenius was crowned Queen Valentine. Amid applause and cheers, she and her two attendants, Helen Pipta and Iennie Panasci, led the grand march which ended with the students forming an aisle while the queen, walked proudly to her throne. The eats that night! The girls certainly could pack lunches. Is it any wonder the boys bid so high for the boxes? - Do you remember those days in P. O. D. class when we gave talks on current events? lsn't Andrew Klimek the second Walter Winchell? Boyd Blough sits dreaming but not about the subject. Don Blough was so busy talking con- tinuously that he didn't know what was going on either. Russel Neatrour was always up to date on current events. Crack! That sounds like the fourth of Iuly. But it was only the chemistry students putting off those spit balls in the halls. During basketball season trustworthy Lloyd Walker could be found in the ticket booth hand- ling the money and tickets for the games. Another of the fellow passengers, Boyd Thomas, was ,- X TWWDY . . I 1 , A I 1 A Qt Donornv Loi-IR Lol-in LYBARGER MASLANKA MIKSTERCOLA MILLER the school's banker and took care of all bank notes and money with deftness and skill. Some of our quiet passengers like Vincent Borelle, Charles Klimek, Harold Miller, and Ioe Plesivec didn't have much to say but were will- ing to help at all times during the voyage. Some interesting places aboard ship were the sheet metal, machinery, and woodwork shop. Lathes and saws were buzzing from day to day under the hands of boys like Ioe Dahoda, Harold Hironimus, Iohn North, and Mike Slovich. What would we have done without the make- up committee, with Betty Brennan and Ann Ewanic heading it? For all the plays the oper- ettas or such things that require make-up, they were ready to help. Last voyage Miriam Kauf- man and Dorothy Lohr also assisted the other girls in putting greasepaint, powders, rouges, wigs and the like on the actors and actresses. One of our athletic girls, Georganna Spang- ler, was a cheerleader, active in Pep Club, G. A. A. and was also honored by being voted as student representative to the athletic asso- ciation. Esther Georg is a perfect outdoor girl, active in all sports and a friend to all. She has a smile that attracts everyone. i Betty Wolford has started her career early in life as a model. Her work shows she has a good chance of climbing higher in the field of modeling. Good luck to you, Betty Iane.

MONTGOMERY O,CONNOR Nixcus Orwsnxo NORTH NICK PANAsc1 An active Worker is Althea Lybarger, presi- dent of Girl Reserves. Things keep moving when she is around. Marguerite Montgomery was the treasurer of the G. R.'s, doing her duty with a smile. Tall, lanky, lack Nagle' is dramatic in every- thing he doesg comical in his way and liked by all. He is handy in shop and enjoys Working with his hands. There seems to be so many quiet people aboard this boat. Steve Pollock, Twila Tedrow, who enjoys athleticsg Dave Livingston, a husky football man with a winning smiley Stephana Granistosky, Kid to her friends, and Arthur Brown, the baritone singer, are all inclined to let the other person talk. Did you ever hear of the three musketeers? Yes, there Were some aboard this ship's last voyage. All trips are swarmed with them. They have such characteristics. Three of our familiar musketeers were Gloria Capretti, Iosephine Hala- pia, and Eva Toscani. Another pair were the vio- lin players Ioe Wojtisek and Paul Toth. Have you ever noticed where your tests were typed? Tickets made? Bulletins typed? Up on the second floor in the Wing is an office called the Commercial office. There you can see students coming and going continuously. The commercial students usually have at least one period of commercial office practice during the week. Annabelle Holsopple and Louise Uphouse were busily engaged in cutting-stencils. Marjorie Lohr and Ann Koss help in running oft bulle- tins. The bulletins were distributed by students, usually Vera Thomas and Althea Lybarger were seen depositing them in the home rooms. Those hands of Ruth Trachok could be seen sorting papers and asssiting in whatever she could. Ida Mae Maggs, Helen Rose and Emma Schoenwalder also were seen at Work in the office. T I IPTA PoLLocK REITZ ROBERTS ROMEO OSE Szwron SHRIVER Smvlcx-1 SMITH Click! I got it! Boy what a picture could be heard from Earl Hay and Glenn Kaufman who make pictures their hobby. Their collection of pictures vary widely. They also develop them and many students have given them business. Iohn Witosky and Chester Zbrozek were rather puzzling. They are both very intelligent but fail sometimes in using it to the best ad- vantage. They are humble in what they do. Iohn interested in football and Chester in wrestling and trapping. Hm-m-ml What delicious biscuits. No, a girl didn't bake them. It was one of the few boys who take cooking, Iames Williams. He helped prepare the Iournalism banquet which was ex- cellent in both eats and entertainment. Here today, but gone tomorrow is slim Wil- lard Stevens, one of the happy-go-lucky voyagers, without a care in life. No one l've seen can blush so beautifully as lack Eppley. He isian interesting person to know with a keen sense of humor that is rare in most of us. a The close of our voyage is drawing near. The seas are rough and rugged. Everyone is working hard to make this voyage complete in every detail. The knior play has started in tedi- ous hours of practicing. It was the three act play The Ghost Train. The characters Were as fol- lows: Richard Winthrop, Iohn Brackeng Elsie Winthrop, Thelma Ionesg Saul Hodgkins, Bill IntiharpA Charles Murdock, Ray Weaverp Peggy Murdock, Dorothy Smith, Miss Bourne, Lela Mae Bloughg Teddie Deakin, Frank Weaver, Iulia Price, Iennie Panascig Herbert Price, Iack Nagleg Iohn Sterling, Bill Virginp Iackson, Virgil Good, two officers, Warren Smith and Lester Thomas. Nick Panasci and Eddie Maslanka were the head stage crew not only for the play, but for all assemblies or anything that required their assistance with lights, curtains, etc. The story of the Ghost Train deals in the main with rum-runners and narcotic smugglers. In a peaceful village in Maine their lives a superstition of twenty years' standing about a ghost train which flashes by in the dead of night, swinging the scythe of death. The rum-runners use this to their own advantage, careless of life and property. They terrorize the section and it is only through the cleverness of an apparently silly Scotland Yard detective, who turns out to be brighter than he looks, that supplies this Comedy and clears the mystery by his quick and clever action. It never rains but what it pours is an old saying applied at this time. The yearbook staff is running hither and thither, getting Writeups completed, pictures identified and taking care of those last minute deails. Along with the play and the yearbook are the plans for Baccalaureate Services and Cogn- mencement. The Baccalaureate service was con- ducted with reverence and praise to the Seniors who for the past three years had worked dili- gently to succeed in furthering their future work.

The music for the evening was furnished by girls of the Iunior Class under the direction of Blanche Shaffer. Commencement was a solem affair as the graduating students slowly walked up the aisle in their caps and gowns. The theme of Commencement was Beauty. Contributing class speakers were Esther Georg, the topic being the lAcademic Side ot Beauty, Doris Blough, whose talk was on Beau- ty in Expression of art, literature, music, etc.: and What is being clone around Conemaugh Township High School to beautify it, by Carl Hdsopple. I. Linwood Eisenberg, former president of Slippery Rock State Teacher's College had for his subject The Value of an Education. A trio composed of Thelma Iones, Dorothy Smith, and Helen Trevorrow, added to the intelligence of the class by' singing a few favorite selections. SMITH SPANGLER SWAIN TEDROW Class day committees are busy Working out a complete program for the other Voyager's bene- fit. Class will and prophecy were given. Char- acteristics ot teachers and students were given by a few of the graduating pupils. The class song was sung, ending the hilarious scenes and sayings. - Caps and gowns are being measured. Cards and announcements are being chosen. The prom was made a success with its beautiful decora- tions and dancing to the music of Ross Smith and his orchestra. The lights twinkled brightly from the windows oT the high school, welcoming one and all into their circles. What a thrilling evening it was for these students. All the boys and girls vvlere dressed in their best bib and fucker. The boys beamed vxih' pride as they proudly arrived in their father's automobile, after much coaxing and promising to do some- thing for him some day. .The girls hustled and bustled at home waiting with tense excitement for that one rap which admitted him. Mother, HAROLD THOMAS THOMAS THOMAS TRACHUK TREE us Tiusvonnow 0 do I look all right? Is my hair O. K.? Do you think he'll like my gown? ls my corsage on straight? Oh, there he is. Goodbye mother, don't stay up for me. With a hurrying and scur- rying they're off for an evening of full entertain- ment. lt was a lovely affair: never to be for- gotten as long as we live. Now it is the day of the school picnic. Our last but not least of all thrills for this year. The day was bright and cheerful. The students in buses chattered like chipmunks. The swimming was perfect. Oh, I feel all upside down, could be heard after their ride on the whip. How pleas- ant the boating was. The cars dipped. smoothly and evenly into the calm waters. But oh, the eats! Peanuts, popcorn, ice cream, all in one, gave many a stomach the ache. Groans were heard coming home. Tired faces still looked hap- py after all the thrills and chills of the day. It was our last school picnic at Idlewild: but in many years to come, the other students would sense the same feeling we felt that day in saying goodbye to our friends. Some we would never see again, others often: in many cases we would write. Goodbye to that school picnic. May all the others be as successful as this our last one. Do you remember the day we planted our senior tree? The lovely poem read to us: the music of the band playing while the officers of the class shoveled the first ground upon the tree? Yes, it was an impressive affair. It is a fine tradition to be handed downto the future voy- agers in helping beautify our campus. 22 TOMASZEWSKI Upnousn The yearly carnival held for the benefit of the Athletics was one event never to be forgotten. For many previous weeks, teachers were busy collecting material for their side shows. Danc- ing to the music of the nickle machine was held in the gym. Hot dogs, hamburgs, popcorn, candy, crackerjack all were sold in the building. Candied apples were made by a few teachers and stu- dents. B, I, G, O could be heard from within the library. Yes, it was Bingo, And oh, those pretty prizes. Now Wonder people flocked around it. Then, were you in the House of Hor- rors? It certainly gave one the creeps. The biology room was decorated with many stuffed animals. Stuffed squirrels being married: a home scene with one squirrel playing the piano, the other spinning cloth: were a few of the things displayed in that ptfffom. But just across the hall was the Death House. Oh, those cold tombstones and the death of those poor faculty people. Wasn't it sad? A pretty puppet show Was put on by the junior' high dramatics club. The puppets were made by the students themselves. They put on the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A variety show was one of the main attrac- tions on the first floor. Everyone enjoyed themselves and will re- member those days for years to come. At the foot of the hill stands dear old Cone- maugh Township High School.

It is with heavy hearts and saddened eyes that we, the Class of '4l, say goodbye to this build- ing we cherish as ours, to the faculty we have learned to love, and the high school life, so full of joys' never to be forgotten. May we always be grateful for all it has done for us. WALKER WAs1eLEwsxr WAsu. WoJr1sEK WOLPQRD ZBROZEK Finally, it is ended. We solemnly are handed our diplomas. Tears drop gently down cheeks that are remembering the days gone by, the fun and work mixed together, happy days of companionship with fellow voyagers. All this is past. It is to the future that we look with eyes of Wonder, thinking ot the coming years and what is in store for them. De we regret the days gone by? No, think only of what lies ahead: pain, but also gladness and happiness. Your future is what you make it. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. just juniors . Early organization of the one hundred fifty two juniors and selection of officers made possible a successful year of ac- tivities and events. Miss Verda Long cmd Mr. Robert Kelly continued their positions as advisers while the newly elected of- ficers were Mike Katchmar, president, Edna Marchi, vice-president, Olga Ewanic, secretaryg and Phyllis Risher, treasurer. With the cooperation of the entire group a successful wax paper campaign marked the beginning of the year's ac- tivities. Having been encouraged by the returns of the wax paper sales, the juniors sponsored a roller skating party February 15, at the Westmont Grove Rink. Under the able direction of Miss Long, assisted by Miss Ruth joseph, a play entitled Lena Rivers was presented. The cast included Olga Ewanic as Lena Rivers g Iohn Michlo, Durward Belmont g Betty Lou Stahl, Mrs. Livingstone , Cath- erine Bunch, Caroline Livingstoneug Robert jones, junior Livingstone p Pearl Kaltenbaugh, Anna Livingstone , Walter Kasoski, Malcolm Everett g Pauline Frederick, Granny Nichols p Florence Kubasik, Mrs. Graham g Eldon Stahl, Mr. Graham p Audrey Custer, Aunt Milly g and Petie Knap as Old Caesar . The play deals with the plight of young Lena Rivers and her beloved Granny Nichols who were compelled to let' fe their New England home and seek refuge with Granny Nichols' son, Iohn, who has changed his family name to Livingstone. Lena and her grandmother are subject to the sort of-treatment that is usually handed out to poor relations. Mrs. Living- stone and her daughter, Caroline, refused to accept them.' Durward, whom Mrs. Livingstone plans to have marry her daughter and her brother, Iohn, Ir., be- come Lena's firm friends and champion But, oh my! her cause and Lena in turn aids Anna and helps along her romance with Mal- colm Everett, her tutor. In the last act, when it looks as though Lena were going to lose Durward, fate steps in and proves our heroine's sterling worth by revealing the fact that Mr. Graham, a friend of the Livingstone's and Durward's stepfather. is really Lena's father, whose rnidclle name was Rivers. Following the play a party was held for the cast at Alwine's Priva-Dyne. The evening was spent dining and dancing. A closed party was held May l4 in the gymnasium where refreshments were served and dancing was featured. Many juniors attended and in general a good time was had by all. The juniors have shown their loyalty to their Alma Mater by participating in many of the school's activities. Several members took part in the three one-act plays which were presented by the dra- matics department. A few students took part in the All-County Band, Orchestra. and Chorus. Many junior boys partici- pated in athletics. The junior class was represented on both the varsity basket- ball and football squads and by several boys in track and wrestling. Both boys and girls took part in inter-class and home room athletics. The girls were victors in the volleyball and mushball tournaments. The highlight of the year was the junior-Senior prom which was held on May 23. The music was furnished by Ross Smith's orchestra. The gymnasium was lavishly decorated and produced the nec- essary effects as far as the dancers were concerned. During the course of the even- ing, dancing, games and refreshments were the main features. The purpose of the juniors was thus successfully attained. What a dance! And those refreshments!

Our adventure in publishing the Connumach The Connumach staff, under the able supervision of Mr. Hess, are those busy little bees we see flitting down the halls and interrupting our English Classes. For whatever trouble they may cause us by holding back classes we are greatly re- warded at the end of the year and may be sure that their work was not in vain. More work than is realized is put into the leatherbound form of a yearbook- write-ups are not the only things that cause Worry and scampering about in connection with bringing about a finished product. The pictures don't get in the book by chance and those people on them aren't models. First, there's the arranging of a bell schedule that will work. Then after summoning each individual group, we find that there OH! so many sizes of people. Well here's where the trouble begins-One boy won't get in line be- cause you're just a little bit smaller than he, another because perhaps he's just dumb?-then too there's the fellow who jus' don' wanna. If we could only use our fists! The senior pictures too must be taken care of. Arranging on dummy sheets is necessary and before we realize it we find our thoughts returning to our childhood days when, with perhaps a little more pleasure, we pasted paper dolls. Individual write-ups or even poems are necessary as a tribute to the seniors whose four hard years are now at an end. Records must be looked into in order to complete sports section of the book. ln- formal snapshots of the numerous games collected and cleverly arranged. Other informal shots add' interest to the book such as stage scenes from plays, outside scenes and those taken in the office-all these areycollected by our little workers and correctly distributed and attractively arranged on the proper pages. Yes much more has to be added before the dummy sheets can be sent to the printers. Then such prominent Workers as Dot Smith can breathe a sigh of relief and joyfully remember that perhaps her work for the year is complete. In the end we can say with ease-Not bad eh? .4 Masters of words??? If someone doesn't soon get these write-ups in and these stencils out, We're going to miss the publication deadline. These assignments were to be in yester- day and these dummy pages were to be ready by today. But as usual, We'll have to rush to be on time as We're behind schedule. Mr. Hess, may I have the key? Will you get me a good typewriter? Gosh, where am I? These are a few of the many ex- pressions overheard While passing the open door of the publication office where the mimeographed four-page school pa- per is being made ready for publication. Because the Contownian is published weekly, the sheets must be done in a minimum of time. News, club, class, fea- ture, and sports editors assist the editor- in-chief in carrying the responsibilities. Iournalism I and II act as reporters. Not only is the fourth period used by the first year Iournalism class in the prepara- tion of material for the newspaper, but also students of both classes are assigned to the publication office during each period of the day. It is not a simple job to make a paper as our many readers and ll7 subscribers think. The illustrations and headlines are put on the stencils with the use of the mimeoscope and styli. After the stencils and headlines have been cut, they are run through the mimeograph and then stapled. The Contownian can well cele- brate its three years of existence, and through the remarkable patience of Glenn C. Hess, faculty adviser, has shown a considerable improvement. This year marks the first year that the school news- paper staff has been a member of the Quill and Scroll, an international honor society for high school journalists. The paper is also a member of the Pennsyl- vania School Press Association, acquiring its membership last year. On October 29, l94U twelve students from the journalism classes attended the fifteenth annual con- vention of the P. S. P. A. at Pittsburgh. A banquet was also held by this group on April 21 in the high school gymnasium. ROW l-Iulia Korywchak, Yvonne Melchor, Dolly Blough, Mary Racosky. Wilma Lukich, Betty Lou Stahl, Leona Verna.

C 'd' f b up: s . .. uture. .. owmen The Archery Club, in operation for the first time in the history of Conemaugh Township High School, under the super- vision of Mr. Berkebile, consists of twenty seven members, both of Senior and Iunior High School. It was organized Ianuary 5, l94l. The members elected Bill Swain, preside-ntg Raymond Weaver, vice-presi- dentg Helton Schrengast, treasurerp and Duane Iacobs, secretary. This club worked in cooperation with the Girl's Athletic Association. Arrows made by the Archery Club were used by the G. A. A. while in return the bows which belonged to the G. A. A. were used by the Archery Club. Iames Holcomb was in charge of all bows and arrows. Much equipment used in this club was made, by the members. The first bow was .made by Raymond Weaver, While bows and arrows were made by the other members. The first arrows did not last long. Rocks, mud, macadam and snow took a heavy toll. However feathering de- vices that were constructed made fletch- ing much easier and thus the cost of arrows was lowered. In the latter part of May a tourna- ment was held on the high school athletic field. There were three different kinds of tourneys, the American Round made up of boys with bows of 35 pounds shooting 30 arrows at 60 yards, 30 arrows at 50 yards, 30 arrows at 40 yards. The Iunior American Round made up of boys using bows less than 35 pounds shooting 24 arrows at 40 yards, 24 arrows at 30 yards. and 24 arrows at 20 yardsg and Clout Shoot open to all boys shooting 180 yards and 120 yards at a 48 foot circle. Official scorers were appointed. The tournament was held during the club period, noon hour, and after school. Up in the air. . . feet on the ground The Aviation Club of Conemaugh Township High School has been very active during the past term. The club con- sists of thirty-eight members who repre- sent Iunior and Senior High School. It is under the direction of Mr. Kelly, faculty adviser, and Harold Hironimus, presi- dentp Charles Iordon, vice president, Iames Williams, secretary, and Robert Blank, treasurer. The club is very educa- tional for anyone having an interest in aviation. It has made very much pro- gress in its young existence which is only three years. It has sponsored various con- tests and also taken a very interesting and educational trip to Allegheny air- port in Pittsburgh. At this terminal large transport planes were seen landed and taking off. Another very interesting fea- ture at the air terminal was the con- trol tower. In the control tower the mem- bers were shown how air traffic is con- trolled on the Runway. A controller is located in the tower and uses a blinker system for signals. Also there is a short wave sending and receiving apparatus to tell the pilots of the weather ahead of them. The controller has the most vital job on an air terminal since he has to tell and signal exactly what conditions prevail. If he makes a mistake it may mean a crash and loss of many lives. The club was formed in 1938 by Russel Hironimus, a member of the U. S. Air Corps. Russel was an ardent aviation enthusiast and through his unending pleading the club was founded under the advisership of Mr. Kaufman, a former teacher of Conemaugh Township High School.

Let's hear you're C -such remarks make orchestra rehearsal an easy one to identify even if you couldn't recognize the screenings and scrapings. This truly was a goon group if there ever was one. Why? simply because of the persons in it and their actions fper- haps the director had something to do with it, tool. More commotion was cre- ated in the insignificant feat of finding a piece to rehearse than in the actual rehearsal of it. What sort of commotion? why-er-a-well, retuning of instruments was necessary after every piece, occa- sionally in the middle of one, and did you ever see Mr. Iohns tear off his coat, tear out lalmostl his hair, pound the top of his stand, the yell Donnervedter! ? Strings were broken, valves stuck, reeds split-but still progress was made tfun- ny, but nevertheless, truel. With the ad- dition of several stringed instruments, two violin-cellos and a bass fiddle, con- siderable improvements resulted. The orchestra has appeared at as- sembly programs and plays, and will play for the Baccalaureate service and Senior Commencement program. Having only ten violins, the organi- zation will be hard hit, owing to the fact that five of the students who play them will be graduating. A clarinetist, a drum- mer, and a tuba player will also gradu- ate. All, members who had served for two years or more have been awarded letters. Officers for the group were president, Iohn Tomaszewskig secretary-treasurer, Betty Marie Van Divenderg librarians, Romaine Stahl and Andy Racoskyg and property managers, Karl Kaufman and Conley Blough. Four students from the orchestra played in the All-County Orchestra which gave concerts at Stonycreek Township High School, April 26, and Somerset Bor- ough high school, May 3. These were Virgil Good, Lester Shirey, Clayton Ior- don, and Betty Marie Van Divender. And the band plays on Forward march! left, right, left, right -Column right by threes!-About face! As you were!-Flank left-right face!- Halt!-These and similar commands is- sued by Drum Major Iohn Michlo or Mr. Iohns were heard at various times and places during the past school year. Oh, those feet-ruining, ear-splitting drill ses- sions! The first ones were really some- thing to behold. Most of the members didn't know their left foot from their right. They didn't know forward from back- ward, march from halt, at ease from at- tention or up from down. However after countless grueling periods of hard Work and concentration, improvement began to shine through. Advancing from learning to keep in step and keeping ranks straight to complicated routines in such a short time, makes the band worthy of compli- ments. So-medals to you all, band mem- bers! Another victory for this group was the purchase of uniforms through the Booster Club. The band made their first formal appearance in their suits at the Boswell-Conemaugh Township football game, in mud a foot deep and rain com- ing down in buckets. Remember? Well liked by everyone and always prepared and willing to play, the band was much in demand to play during as- semblies. It also played at football games. basketball games, Patron's night, a wrest- ling match, the School Fair, the Carni- val, and participated in the Fourth An- nual Somerset County Music Festival. In the latter affair they played at Somerset High School, May 3rd, in the all High School bands concert. Several students from the band par- ticipated in the All-County Band which gave concerts at Stoneycreek Township and Somerset Borough. Those participat- ing were lane Hamer, Eldon Stahl, Clay- ton Iodon, Violet McDaniels, Conley Blough, Flora Gray, Lester Shirey and Ioe Turgeon. The officers for the year were: War- ren Smith, presidentg Betty Marie Van Divender, secretary-treasurer, Ioe Tur- geon and Margaret Smith, librarian: and Earl Hay, Glenn Kaufman, and Iohn Wil- liam Kaufman, property managers.

The club under the direction of Miss Iune Kaufman, has a membership of approximately thirty-three members. The officers that were elected for the school term of 1941 are as fol- lows: Gladys Mishler, president: Mary Rullo, secrefaryp and Betty Benson, treas- urer. A Valentine's day party was the only social event held by the group in the girls locker room on February 14, 1941. They were served refreshments and played many different games. The mem- bers first learned how to place splints on broken limbs and also the treatments for removing foreign bodies from the eyes and soon much time was spent in learn- ing the main points on swimming and life-saving. The members were also taught how to make beds for a sick per- son. Last but not least they were taught the names of antiseptics and the use for each one which is found in the health room's medicine cabinet. At the present they' are making plans to visit the Memorial Hospital at Iohnstown. In the future years to come one of these members may become a second Florence Nightengale, if they take nurs- ing as a profession. Who knows? Makers of melody, The Iunior High Chorus consisting of fifty-three members was organized im- mediately after the opening of the school term. This group under the able super- vision of Miss Blanche Shaffer blends voices at the regular club periods and at noon on Tuesday and Friday. Much progress has been made since the chorus was organized. When We students hear a terrible sound coming forth from the music room, we are never surprised be- cause we know it is just the Iunior High Chorus practicing Then when the sweet chords of music come forth from the piano, played by the accompanist, Nila Kaufman, We settle down to our lessons, well assured that no one is dy- ing. The chorus made its first public appearance at Patron's Night and they also sang at several special assembly programs. On the twenty-third of March, music, and mirth the chorus sang several selections at the Moxham Church of the Brethren. With much ambition and ardent ap- plication, the fifty-three students who compromise this chorus, soon acquired the finesse which comes from learning the time points of music. One might say, the chorus was moulded from a group of unregulated cogs and Wheels into the proverbial smooth-Working machine. This group has been a credit to the school and is worthy of any praise that might come its Way. The entire program of the year was a tribute to the director and to those composing the chorus. The ofticers are Geraldine Lohr, pres- ident: Beatrice Blough, vice-president: and Mary Louise Blough, secretary- treasurer.

Blow it up five times Hold it! or Watch the birdie! were the cries of the Camera Club's members. No one is safe from these ama- teur photographers. The club under the able direction ofrMr. Thomas had quite a successful year. The members not only learned to use the camera intelligently, but also learned to print and develop the pictures they had taken. Among other projects of a similar nature, the club members with the help of Mr. Thomas made glass slides for the agricultural department. After learning the essentials of out- side photography, the club members were taught by Mr. Thomas with the assistance of Glenn Kaufman how to do inside photography. Printing and developing of pictures was done in the projector-room in the auditorium for the first semester. The club now has a permanent dark room for printing and developing films under the stage. The club has grown in membership and popularity among the students of the school. The membership of the club has more than doubled since its organi- zation two years ago. The meetings of the club were con- ducted in Room 200 during the regular club periods. Open discussions were held at each meeting, with exhibits and les- sons in good photography. The officers ot the club this year are: Glenn Kaufman, president: Boyd Thomas. vice president, Earl Hay, secretary- treasurer. 4Z Easter eggs . . . Candy . . . Cookies The Cooking Club has made great progress this year. Money was obtained by selling sandwiches at some of the social events. This year the club is di- vided into parts, a junior high class and a senior high class. The cooking club periods are .alternated, one Week junior high cooks and the next week senior high gets a chance to bang the pots and pans, chatter over the cooking food and make sly remarks about their friend's food. Each member brings a certain amount of money to pay for some of the food that is used that period. The Week not being in the cooking laboratory, the students assemble in a vacant room to receive recipes and in- structions for next Week's cooking period. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Schrall and Miss Ioseph the thirty- seven members achieved very much knowledge in the cooking field of goodie-goodies. They made creamy chocolate fudge, large pop corn balls. crisp potato chips, delicious spice cookies, doughnuts, a most delicious pudding, and Easter eggs. How's that to satisfy your sweet tooth? junior high club produced a com- edy, The Soft Boiled Egg, for an as- sembly program. Senior high members helped make this play a success, but could not perform themselves because time was too short to start learning the lines. The students made individual scrap books, which included recipes and pic- tures of foods, modern kitchens and cook- ing and baking utensils. The final meeting was an outside party. They cooked weiners and had the usual trimmings of buns, onions, mustard or ketchup. Senior high club officers are Hazel Vallenius, presidentp Eleanor Reitz, vice presidentg Dorothy Lybarger, secretaryg Youly Busatti, treasurer.

A big locomotive. . . C'mon Let's go C-O-N-E-M-A-U-G-H!! The strains of many cheers could be heard coming from the Pep Club every club period. The purpose of the Pep Club, which is under the direction of Miss Lower, is to train and produce the future cheerleaders of Conemaugh Township High. There were forty-nine members in this club, ranging from seventh to twelfth grade. Most of the members entered this year, knowing practically nothing about cheer- leading. They left feeling assured they had accomplished something. The club has set up a constitution which shall be the basis of all rules for future Pep Clubs of Conemaugh Township High School. Some meetings were held in the gym and others in the agricultural rooms. At the very first meeting the members were divided into groups, numbering about seven in all, and each group was headed by persons who were the present cheer- leaders. The task ot the leaders of these various groups was to teach the different cheers and their motions. Early in the year a plan was made for the activity of each meeting. Every meeting began with a business session. Many club periods were spent in prac- ticing cheers. At several meetings the members made up new cheers and mo- tions, while others were spent in writing pep songs for football and basketball season. A small party was held in the gym about the middle of the year. Games were played and refreshments were served. Pencils with the Conemaugh Town- ship basketball schedule were sold to raise money for the organization. The Pep Club ended its activities this year by sponsoring a contest among members. Each group had a demonstration ot what they learned during the year and the best cheering from each group was chos- en. The cheerleaders acted as judges tor this contest. The officers of the organization for the past year were: Iennie Panasci presidentg Georganna Spangler, vice- presidentp Connie Carosello, secretaryg and Dorcas Baer, treasurer. 44 -14 A hole in one---it's deuce Fore! Don't get alarmed! It's only the golf and tennis club showing off their skill. lt had its initial start when it was formed this year. Under the direction of Robert Kautz noticeable advancements could be observed. Mr. Kautz expresses the statement that he hopes the golf and tennis club shall remain as a permanent one in the school building. The club holds its meetings at regular periods in room 209 and sometimes in the gym- nasium. A dance was held after the last Ferndale game on Ianuary 28 from which a profit of Sl3.ll was made. The money was used to buy necessary equipment. Tennis balls, a net and cotton golf balls were purchased from this fund. Early in the year the club was di- vided into two groups. Those that pre- ferred tennis chose that respective group While the ones interested in golf formed another unit. The tennis group, coached by Mr. Kautz, lined the gym off for tennis. They were taught the correct grip to hold the racquet. Also they practiced the fore- hand and backhand strokes which are the most important swings in this game. The object stressed is to interest the students so that they will make tennis one of their favorite sports. They espe- cially hope that the tennis court which has been planned behind the athletic field will be completed in the near future. Assisted by Robert Bowser, general manager at the North Fork Country Club, the golf group learned the fundamental principles of good golf. Instruction sheets were received from the Professional Golf- ers Association to help further along their progress in golf. Officers for the club are: Ruth Tra- chok, president: Frank Weaver, vice- presidentp Dorothy English, secretary: Betty Brennan, treasurer. . Motion pictures were shown pictur- ing some of the professional golfers in action and the process by which golf balls and golf clubs are made. A golf team is expected to be formed next year to play rival schools near this vicinity.

A. was formed in our school, and during this period the organization has grown both in membership and popu- larity. The F. F. A. was formed immediate- ly after the opening of school in October of 1938 and had an enrollment of six- teen students. Galen R. Oellig, head of the agriculture department of Cone- maugh Township High School, has work- ed long and hard in building what we believe to be one of the finest organi- zations of its kind in Conemaugh Town- ship High School. The F. F. A. Boys have taken a tre- mendous interest in their work as well as in their school life, and have been a very helpful body in the government of the school. The F. F. A. boys have participated in the Ienner's Fair where they exhibited some farm products with Stanley Smo- kowiz and Dwight Keafer winning first and second prize in radishes and fat borrow pigs respectively. After the fair the boys hunting new fields to conquer traveled to the Harris- burg Farrn Show where Iohn Yoder won a second place in barley, Bill Thomas a second place in oats and Earl Hostetler a fourth place in wheat. Although it hasn't been publicized the F. F. A. has done a great deal the past year in helping to beautify Cone- maugh Township by their work in forestry and soil conservation under the direction of Robert T. Elder and the engagement of A. O. Rasmussen, assistant professor of Ornamental Horticultural Extension of the Pennsylvania State College, who is an expert on community improvement. The purpose of the F. F. A. is to find out how well the boys put into practice what they have learned in class. To do this thoroughly each boy is required to choose and complete at least one project a year using the knowledge they re- ceived in class. Some of the projects completed by the boys are gardens, calves, sows, shoates, corn, oats, baby chicks, soy beans, heifers, swine and farm accounts. lMay we have this dance? Please, girls, the meeting will now come to order, shouts Catherine Bunch, the president of the etiquette club. As you may know a group of twenty-nine girls can certainly create a dreadful amount of racket. With Miss Crock as leader the club endeavored to promote courtesy and good manners within the group and throughout the student body. The main activity of the club during the past school term was the presenta- tion of a program in senior high assembly, May 2. This assembly, featuring a play, was written and dramatized by the mem- bers of the club for the benefit of those persons planning to attend the Iunior Prom. Gowns suitable for wearing to a seim-formal high school dance were bor- rowed from several Iohnstown stores, and were modeled by the girls. With the help of Miss Young some of the girls elaborate- ly decorated the stage for this specific occasion. A luncheon party, during club period at Naugle's Dairy Lunch, was one of the social events enjoyed by the club mem- bers. The girls spent a few days in in- troduction. They also discussed such ques- tions as the proper way to wear the high school ring, whether or not the visiting team and spectators should stand when the opposing school plays their alma mater, the proper clothing for the high school students and all kinds of invita- tions and announcements. Dancing was also a minor activity. The desire of the members is that in some small way they may have aided the school at large.

Religious . . . Physical The Boys' Hi-Y Club had quite an eventful year. They not only had a ban- quet and a fishing trip, but also took third place in the State Hi-Y attendance record. The club is under the able super- vision of Mr. Thomas. The meetings were held in room ZUU. Officers for the club this year are: Frank Weaver, presidentg Iack Nagle, vice president, Ray Boyd, secre- tary, and Tom Barron, treasurer. The club was reorganized last lan- uary When Mr. Thomas was elected ad- viser in place of Mr. Fuller. The boys held their first public induction ceremony, in which l5 boys were inducted, during the regular assembly program with Mr. A. I. Hoffman, boy's Work supervisor of the Iohnstown Y. M. C. A., inducting the boys into the club with an inducting team from Iohnstown Central High school assisting. V The purpose of the Hi-Y club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform is clean speech, clean sports, clean scho- larship, andclean living. The Hi-Y club is a national organization for high school boys and is closely affiliated with the Y. M. C. A. In choosing a new member the club usually looks up the background and character of the boy applying for mem- bership and the president then reads to the club the application which con- tains the report on his charatcer, after which the club holds a vote. The club this year entered a Bible Study contest conducted by the Hi-Y au- thorities of the state. The lessons were taught by Mr. Thomas. Serving others is their job After a lapse of one year, the Girl Reserves, affiliated with the Iohnstown branch of the Young Women's Christian Association, has again been recognized as a club of Conemaugh Township High School. At the meeting on Ianuary 30th a constitution was presented by Dorothy Smith and adopted by the club. A wait- ing list was started which enables any junior or senior girl to be listed for fu- ture enrollment in this organization. On December 10, 1940 fifty-nine girls were recognized as junior members of this national organization with Miss Bauterse of the Iohnstown Y. W. C. A. presiding over the candle light initiation services. At this time the girls received their membership cards. Dorcas Baer was chosen to represent the Conemaugh Township Girl Reserves at the annual Tri-state Conference held at the Iohnstown Y. W. C. A. on February 21, 22, and 23. The main discussion of the conference, led by high school teach- ers and Girl Reserve leaders from vari- ous communities, was Faith for Living. These girls have participated in vari- ous activities. The first outstanding activ- ty was a Sadie Hawkins Party held in the school gymnasium. Caroling was the main event of the Christmas season while several suppers had been prepared and served in the cooking laboratory. Bake sales were sponsored in Ierome, Holsop- ple and Thomas Mills and a Faculty Tea was given during the Easter season. On April 25th the 60th Birthday Party was held at the Ferndale High School. Several trips were taken to the Y. W. C. A. where the girls enjoyed swimming, danc- ing, and games. Campfire services were held and hikes were taken. A play period followed each meeting. During the second Thursday of each month, meetings are held at the school with Althea Lybarger as the presiding officer. Dorothy Smith is the vice presi- dent with Helen Trevorrow as the secre- tary and Emily Gray as the club's treas- urer. Miss Long is the adviser of this club.

H. Iones and G. C. Hess. The club began with approxi- mately thirty members. During the first year of existence, the club was not very active. The club did not participate in any shooting matches, because the mem- bers did not have a range in which to practice positions and shooting. During the club periods of the first year the club members learned. the parts, positions and care of the rifle. This year the activity of the club has progressed rapidly because of the fact that the members have succeeded in building a rifle range. This year the club has approximately 75 members with 12 of them being girls: there has also been an increasing amount of interest shown in the club. The club meets once every week in room 208 where the business transactions are carried out, after which the members go to the range to shoot. The rifle range was started last year by members of the rifle club who volun- teered their services during study periods. Because of the interest shown by the boys and the help of Mr. Saylor the range was made ready for shooting with one bay nearly completed and prospects for completing two more. Each bay will take care of five men, it is fifty feet long and is equipped with fluorescent lighting and a target carrier. Shooting is done in all four positions-prone, sitting, kneeling and off-hand. The shooting is done at fifty feet at a single bull target on which a score of a possible fifty can be made. Five shots are shot and then the score is tabulated. By making ten of these tar- gets and making a score of twenty or bet- ter, various medals can be obtained from the National Rifle Association. Many of the members this year have obtained their first and-second medals, and a few have even succeded in getting more medals with higher qualifications. These medals range from the lowest pro-marks- men to the highest medal of Distinguish- ed Rifleman. Tighten the sling . . . bullseye Various matches were held during the year, the first being with Franklin which was held at the Franklin range. In this match Franklin came out on top with a score of 454 and Conemaugh Township 386. The team representing C. T. H. S. in this match consisted of the following: Barndt, B. Geisel, Bienicz, Frederick, and Pollock. The next match held was with Somerset-this was a postal match in which Somerset was vic- torious over the township lead slingers by a score of Somerset 235, C. T. H. S. 231. The team consisted of Cwiakola, Wil- liamson, Blough, Barndt, and Eppley. The third match was with Iunior Pitt held at the Y. W. C. A. This was the first match that Conemaugh Township used the five bull target, ten shots were fired at each target, two at each bull, with 100 as a possible score. Iunior Pitt came out on top with a score of 954 with C. T. H. S. having 911. The Rifle Club is planning to have matches with Nanty--Glo and Somerset. They are also planning to get return matches with Iunior Pitt and Franklin. Both of these teams defeated Conemaugh Township in their first match. Members of the club are planning to shoot targets and send them to army offi- cials where they will receive free of charge medals made of bronze. The club is also planning for an outdoor range so they will be able to shoot further dis- tances, which will entitle them to high- er awards. The outdoor range will be for shooting at 50 and 100 yards. Different types of targets will then be used. The members are also trying to get mats for their present range which is almost com- pleted. Mr. Saylor who is the janitor of the high school has done much for the club. He put in the lighting system and the target carrier in the rifle range. To show their appreciation the club gave him a life membership in the organiza- tion.

H ackle pliers The Hunting and Fishing Club in its second year has made great progress in achieving its ends. Under the able super- vision of Mr. Helsel, the Club members are turning out to be ardent sportsmen, both in angling and hunting. The feature project of the season was fly tying. Most of the boys collected the materials needed for a fly tying kit. The making of artificial flies for angling was taught in lessons by Mr. Helsel, who is quite an enthusiastic fisherman. In addi- tion to fly tying, the fundamentals of angling-how to fly-fish With a fly rod and how to bait fish with a casting rod -were taught. B . hooks . . . flies The club meets in room 112 during the regular club period. Although this is strictly an outdoor club, the boys couldn't get out to the field and stream, because of the short club periods. But this con- finement didn't stop these boys. They tied flies, exchanged tips and fishing secrets among themselves. In addition to this they had a few movies on wild life in the auditorium. The officers of the club this year are: Michael Krajnak, president, Robert Say- lor, vice president, Charles Klirnek, secre- tary-treasurer, and Mr. Helsel, adviser. This is one of the few clubs in this school that really teaches good clean sports- manship. 52 Quilters. . . Crocheters. . . Stitchers The needlework club consisting of thirty-six members was organized last December. This club was mostly an in- dividual activity club. Under the direction of Miss Blough the girls learned many new things in the past months. The offi- cers are as follows: Vera Thomas, presi- dent, Emily Gray, Vice-president, No- velda Thomas, .secretary-treasurer and Emma Schoenwalder was assistant secre- tary-treasurer. Some of the things they made dur- ing the year were: Pillow tops, luncheon cloths, napkins, doilies, dresser scarfs, guest towels, and comb cases. Some of them also embroidered patches for quilts. One of the most interesting and out- standing pieces of work was the quilt made by Vera Thomas. She embroidered forty-eight patches, each representing the state flowers of the United States which looked very attractive after it was fin- ished. Dorothy Thomas made an odd pair of bedroom slippers which was also a neat piece of work. The girls not only learned how to embroider and piece quilts but were taught to crochet also. Many of them crocheted edgings on scarfs, made bed spreads, table cloths, and center pieces. Mary and Helen Ruis made a bedroom set consisting of ten pieces. Helen em- broidered the fancy work on it and Mary crocheted the edgings. Evelyn Hoffman made a crocheted bedspread which took a great deal of needlework to complete. These are a few of the many things made during the club period. Their parties and recreation periods were held when clubs met during the sixth period of the day. They played games and had jolly times together. On April 16, 1941 the club members went on a long hike which they all enjoyed very much. Through this club the students who like needlework have the opportunity of learning this art that is always useful.

That is what happens when the Chemis- try Club meets every week at regular club period time in room 211. It 'is under the advisership of Donald Trexel, chem- istry instructor. This is the first year that the club has been organized and it con- tains a membership of 27 pupils... The object of the club is to increase interest in chemistry and show the im- portance of it in modern society. When they hold their meetings, deep and mysti- fying things go on while they are at work. The young chemists have special- ized in making paint that changes color, spit-devils, trick matches, and the pro- cess of changing water to wine and then to milk. Also they have experimented with stink bombs, hydrogen balloons, gunpowder, pharoh's eggs and etching designs on glass with hydroflouric acid. One day Mr. Trexel showed the members all the equipment in the drawers and explained their uses when they .were to be needed. Then he demonstrated and 54' proved the results whenan acid is spilt on plain wood, clothing or the skin and how the damage. and burns could be checked by neutralizing the acid with a solution of sodium bicarbonate. He also showed theeffects when a base- is used. That lesson was considered by Mr. Trexel to be very important be- cause it pointed out the harm they may make. During the year some chemistry shows were put on by the members at noon period. The price of admission varied from two to three cents, depend- ing upon what kind of equipment was used. Such things as magic fountains, in- visible ink, human gas plants and bal- ancing forks were demonstrated by the members appointed by the president. Officers of the club are William Inti- har, presidentp Iohn Bracken, vice-presi- dentp Mike Katchmar, secretary, and Rob- ert Law, treasurer. Let's take a hike or play basketball Pass me the pickles or . Hand me the butter knife are some of the phrases used at the party held at the home of Mrs. Kelly in honor of the Girls' Athletic Club. There are twenty-six members with Mrs. Kelly as their respective adviser. The officers of the club are president, Louise Skeltis, and secretary-treasurer, Mary Shaffer. The largest part of the period was spent in sports, most of which took up the playing of basketball when the gym was available. They also played darts, ping pong, soccer and also did some roller skating in the girls locker room. The most exciting of these games was soccer which was delayed several times because of the unsuitable weather conditions. Mrs. Kelly and several of the girls who knew how to dance taught the rest of the girls the rudiments of dancing. The main social event was a party held at the home of Mrs. Kelly. The party Was planned so that the girls would have al- most two periods to spend at this activity Which was held Thursday, March 12th, l94l. Each girl brought some article of food and a buffet luncheon was served. According to the members it was stated that this year's activities have been much better planned and organized which made them progress further than last year. Both years have been directed by Mrs. Kelly who helped a lot to make this club progress, and probably next year a much larger group will be or- ganized along With a large plan of activities.

The club was or- ganized last year and was started again this year by popular request of the stu- dents interested in becoming drum ma- jors or majorettes. The officers of the club are: Presi- dent, Iohn Michlog vice-president, Matilda Felauerp secretary, Olga Filminovp treas- urer, Iane Bailey. 4 The members of the Twirling Club practice at noon, in study periods, and during the regular club period, under and on the stage in the auditorium. They are now learning many passes with the baton, such as: in front, in back, and under the legs. The over-head, figure eight and many different throws have been mastered by the majority of the members. At the present six of the best twirlers are working out different routines for next year. The entire club has marched and twirled with the band a few times this year. Most of the members have a stand- ard baton which they have bought themselves. The majority of the Twirling Club's members are made up of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students. Iohn Michlo, Conemaugh ToWnship's' drum major, is the student instructor and Mr. Iohris is the faculty adviser. The club is advancing rapidly and by next year it is expected that five or six drum majors and majorettes will be seen leading our band at football games and other activities. Five days is The student council, legislative body of Conemaugh Township High School, was organized at the beginning of the first semester in accordance with the wishes of the student body and faculty. Both groups, believing that the entire school would be benefited, were strongly in favor of its formation. In order for the organization to function, a representative and an alter- native were elected from each home room to participate in both junior and senior high school. Of the sixty members, there were twenty-six from senior high school- and thirty-four from junior high school. In the senior high school group, john Bracken was elected president: Thel- ma jones, vice-presidentg Dorcas Baer, vice-presidentg and Phyllis Risher, secre- tary-treasurer. The following persons were junior high school officers: Margar- et Smith, presidentg Eddie joseph, vice- presidentg and Mary Charnesky, secre- tary-treasurer. your sentence Soon after their organization, the council became very active and made great progress in the problem of student government. Committees, headed by Helen Trevorrow and Robert Barndt view- ed hall conditions and drew up a set of rules that were to be obeyed by the entire school body to do away with un- necessary congestion in the corridors. These laws, with a few amendments, were accepted by the student council and faculty and were first put into use dur- ing the first week of April. In order to enforce these rules, a student court, com- posed of two student council members from each grade, was formed. john Bracken served as judge. Hall monitors, five from each grade, chosen because of their scholastic records and their char- acter were selected from the student body to be on the look our for law break- ers. Those persons who offended were duly punished or acquitted by the court.

Advantage. . . Winner The Wrestling Club, under the ad- visership of Galen R. Oellig, held their first meeting in the agriculture room. Members elected to offices were Bob Andriene, presidentg Glenn Williamson, treasurer, and Don Drenner, secretary. The next meeting also was held in Mr. Oellig's room. During the meeting eligibility .slips and health slips were given out to those boys who wanted to try out for the wrestling team. Mr. Oellig discussed the morals both mental and physcial, of' a good wrestler while sev- eral members of the team demonstrated various wrestling techniques. The third meeting was held in the boys' shower room. Members of the wrest- ling squad showed how to obtain holds from standing and referee positions. Several of these better known holds were the half nelson, three-quarter nelson, arm roll, hammer lock with nelson, arm drag, scissors, and wristlock. The next meeting the boys paired off into couples of their own weight and practiced the holds they learned in the preceding meeting. In the two following meetings wrest- ling equipment was the chief topic of dis- cussion .An ideal gym mat, the boys agreed, would be composed of filler of hair felt with burlap reinforced through- out the entire mat with seams inverted. A cover for this mat would be rubberized duck or cotton flannel. Also the other wrestling accessories such as the head harness, shirts, shoes, knee pads, trunks, and tights, which make up the complete wrestling suit were dis- cussed. In the following meetings a definite system of practice was used. During the first part of the period calisthenics were taken, then the boys paired off accord- ing to weight and wrestled until one pinned the other. After wrestling, each boy practiced arm exercises such as chinning. After this a shower was taken and while the boys were waiting for the bell wrestling books were available to look at. Knit one. . . Purl two Knit one, purl two, is the chant that is repeated by persons who have se- lected knitting as their club activity. The knitting club has grown since last year. The enrollment has increased from thirty-six members to sixty-three members. Officers of'the club are: Elda Iones, president, Anna McDaniel, vice- presidentg Sophie Smith, secretary, Al- dine Shaffer, treasurer. The sponsors are Misses Zimmerman and Lohr. Approximately thirty-five girls could not knit at the beginning of the year. With the help of their instructors and girls who were able to knit well, these girls are now able to knit. Several girls are busily knitting sweaters for themselves. The style con- sists of slip-overs and corrigans. Elda Iones has started to make a heavy, jum- bo cablestitch sweater. This stitch is rather difficult. Other articles that have been made are pocketbooks, scarfs and bed socks. The club members are endeavoring to assist the Red Cross in its aid to the British war refugees by knitting a few sweaters. Sweaters being made are with one exception, for men. The yarn and directions are furnished by the Red Cross. The afghan consists of six inch knit squares. A recent social activity was a lunch- eon held April 8. After thriving on some delicious food, the girls were entertained, a play was presented, reading given and members of the club joined in with the singing of a few songs. The name adopt- ed by 'the club was K. O. P. T. ROW 1-Zona Thomas.

Your jump . . . king mine For the first time this year a chess and checker club was organized. It was under the direction of Coach Peter Fee who explained to the members the princi- ples of the two games. The club is composed of 32 members With, 28 boys and 4 girls. They hold their ,regular club meeting in room 212. Each member paid l0 cents for dues which was used for the purchasing of checker boards and getting their pictures in this yearbook. A tournament was held with all the members participating. The results of the first round encounters are as follows: The players that took two straight from their opponents were Richard Tra- chok, Ioe Cortese, Iim Palmino, George Timko, Ioe Morzowski, Tony Belskey, Carl Goughenour, Charles Lynch, Theodore Kardell, Charles Runtz, and Wayne Swartzelder. Their respective opponents were Frank Barroni, Noah Yoder, Law- rence Vance, Edward Lloyd, Iohn Saylor, Mazie Frampton, William Lape, Thomas Weir, George Lucas, Florence Kubasik and Louis Lappi. Other winners with their opponents winning one game were Pauline Freder- ick over Dominick Cappretti, Ernest Eash over Iames Salvaggio, Pearl Kalten- baugh over Aldo Santorium, Iohn Mantini over Ioe Tezza. Earl Foreback won over Robert Wheelend by a forfeit. Second round winners were: George Tiniko, Ioe Morzowski, Carl Goughenour, Charles Lynch, Earl Foreback, Iohn Man- tini and Wayne Swartzwalder. In the next playoff the field was narrowed down to George Tinko, Io Mor- zowski, Charles Lynch and Wayne Swartzwalder. The semi-finals left George Timko and Wayne Swartzwalder to battle it out with Timko emerging the victor by a two to one score. Officers of the club are: William Lape, president, Richard Trachok, vice- president, and Pearl Kaltenbaugh, secre- tary-treasurer. Snow White and Dopey Iunior High Dramatics Club is very active this year. Under the superior as- sistance of Miss Thom the members learned many new things in the drama- tic field. They entertained for two assembly programs. The plays were The Visitor and Do You Believe in Luck? These proved to be successful and showed the acting ability of junior high students. The students were very democratic, they elected the plays, the actors, and the stage and property committees. They worked very hard making marionettes for our May Z-3 carnival. The marionettes were made from muslin, cotton, pebbles, yarn and embroidery floss. The bodies were muslin stuffed with cotton. The arms and legs were weighted with pebbles. Faces are embroidered on to resemble the characters of two plays. The hair was yarn. After they were fully dressed strings were tied at the head, on each arm, at the back and on each foot. Then all the strings were fastened to a pieces of wood that is held in the opera- tor's hand. This required skill on the part of the operator. The two plays were Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and a fairy tale, Three Wishes, which re- quired one man, one woman, and lUU fairies and a pan. It was very pleasing to see Snow White again. Dopey and Grumpy hadn't changed a bit. They were very successful in the production of these plays. There are 32 members in this club. Officers are: Ioe Mylant, president: Rose Tisack, vice-president, Victoria Starvish, secretary-treasurer. ROW l-Mary Andrews, Dorothy Peers.

These are some of the remarks heard at the Girls' Athletic Association's meet- ings throughout the year. The club, un- der the supervision of Miss Lower, has proved 'very successful. Meetings were held every Wednesday during the sev- enth period. This is a senior high organ- ization made up of 33 members, l4 of these having joined this year. At the beginning of the year, after the new members were accepted, the officers elected, the girls turned their meeting into practice periods for tum- bling. They showed some of their tum- bling talent' on an assembly program. Later basketball practices started. The girls used the gym only when the boys had no practice. The G. A. A. was victorious over the Holsopple Independ- ent team, Ferndale, and the Faculty. The girls from the various communities- Ierome, Holsopple, Kelso, and Davidsville, in the locker room organized teams and played each other. Volleyball and mushball teams were also organized. The girls held a ping-pong tournament among themselves. A very successful roller skating party was held by the G. A. A. to help raise money for the Athletic Association. They also held dances after basketball games. Some of the money was used to purchase a goal-hi set to be used by the physical education department. When the weather permitted the girls spon- sored different kinds of recreation at noon. Among the social activities of the club were featured a small party held at the beginning of the year and a sup- per held before the Somerset-Conemaugh Township basketball game. The officers serving this past year were Helen Trevorrow, presidentp Louise Uphouse ,vice-presidentg Dorothy Smith, secretaryg and Georganna -Spangler, treasurer. Tomorrow's champs or chumps The Boys' Athletic Club began last year under the direction of Mr. Kelly. The club was not very active last year because of Weather conditions. During their inside sessions they played basket- ball and other inside games. Then as soon as the Weather permitted they ven- tured outside to play soccer, marbles and similar games. This year the club is under the direc- tion of Mr. Fuller. The officers of the club are president, Iames Slick, secretary, Eddie Ioseph. The club this year consist- ed of 45 boys, all of whom are interested in various sports. When the boys went outside they participated in various sports such as soccer, mushball, marbles and football. Seventh and eighth grade played tackle football while ninth grade played touch football. When the weather conditions did not permit outside activi- ties the group stayed indoors and played games such as basketball, checkers and the like. During meetings the club discussed various sports and the rules involved in playing different games. Next year the club expects to have more activities and to progress better than the previous year.

Their purpose for organiza- tion was to promotenfurther interest in reading throughout the entire school and to acquire more and better reading ha- bits for themselves. Working more or less as separate clubs, the Book Club and the Library Club achieved various things. Together, they planned and constructed ornamental and educational posters. The Library Club conducted several cleanup, campaigns and assisted in the decoration of the li- brary. The members also studied the Dewey Decimal system, a method where- by books are classified and placed on the library shelves. With thisknowledge, it was possible for the girls to aid Miss Foulke in her duties. The book club read books and discussed them during their club period. They read together Shakes- peare's famous play, As You Like It. Both clubs social activities consisted of a hike and a party. With the dues, they planned to purchase several new books for the library. L The officers for the Book Club were president, Dorothy Bloughp secretary. Edna Weigleyg treasurer, Abbey Boyd, chairman of the program committee, Iune Lehman. The officers of the Library Club were Ruth Iurca, president, Betty Iones, secretaryg Ruth Smith, treasurerg Mary lane Reed, chairman of the program committee. 4 I' SCHOOL STORE STAFF SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS AND DEANS ROW 1-Edward Bczroni, Betty Icrrvis, Bill Virgin.

Cinders. . . Sawdust Coach Robert Kelly, head coach of the Conemaugh Township track team, through many grueling hours of stiff prac- tice developed a championship team sec- ond to none. After taking the District Five championship in 1939, a remark- able feat since it was our school's first year in athletics, our Braves again in 1940 clinched the championship by de- feating Somerset in the eliminations for the District Five crown. On the morning of May l8th the Indians confidently marched to Somer- set. They came home in the evening with a very decisive victory over the Orange and Black. Some of the boys set new records. In the following events the boys beat Somerset. Bill Heist, a senior, stole the show with a first place in the one hundred yard dash and still having plenty of reserve marched on to take first in the two hundred twenty yard dash. Conley Blough ran second place in the half mile with Somerset taking first. In the mile, the Indians again showed their grit, with Williamson taking first and Andri- ene second. A tribe of four Indians cop- ped first place in the mile relay but fell down to third in the half mile relay. Klinar knocked off a first place by throw- ing the discus one hundred eleven feet, six inches. Maslanka and Romeo took first and third places in the high jump. Lappi feet, nine inches for hurled eighteen second place in the broad jump. Mas- lanka fell down with third place in the shot put. Then to clinch the victory Start, Maslanka, and Romeo stole the laurels with Start heaving the javelin one hun- dred seventy feet, five inches for first and Maslanka and Romeo taking the second and third places by tossing, it one hun- dred sixty-three feet, six inches, and one hundred sixty-two feet, seven inches. set a record for the one hundred yard dash, the time Was ten and three-tenth seconds. Eddie Start broke the javelin record by throwing it one hundred sev- enty-two feet. Eddie Maslanka threw the shot put thirty-nine feet, eleven inches. lim Iarvis threw the discus one hundred fourteen eight and one-half inches. Bill Heist also broke the record for the two hundred twenty yard dash, he did it in twenty-four and one-tenth seconds. When the Indians journeyed to Cochran Iunior High they were traveling with bad luck and took a back seat in the dual meet. It was most of the boys first yearg they were inexperienced and outclassed. Coach Kelly worked with tho boys every day and improved on their ability. lf-B b A d' , l1 T k', G1 W'1l' , D a e Blank, Ioe Cortese, Bob Law. 2'-Rd,ymonnClfmi!el?1zyloErfldieollnflixilgllvlfal Ioe Wllachollfllflnjillrfn Klllmgr, Bill Heist, Coach Robert Kelly. Heave it... Watch your step The boys came out with flying colors in some of the events. Bill Heist, fast and spirited senior who did the one hundred yard dash on an indoor track in ten sec- onds flat, took the hundred yard dash in easy strides as always. Glenn Williams- son, classy miler for the Redmen also came out on top in this event. Ierry Lappi and Ioe Cortese took first and second places in the broad jump. Eddie Mas- lanka tossed the javelin one hundred and sixty-three feet for first place While lim Iarvis took the discus heaving it one hundred fourteen feet, eight inches. A quartet of Indians-Cortese, Heist, Lappi and Thomas, took first in the mile relay. A second tribe, Hillegas, Lappi, Weaver and Blank took the laurels in the two-fifth mile relay. The boys made such a good record in taking District Five that they journeyed to Penn State. The boys couldn't place against superior odds. The other entries were better, but not much. Captain Bill Heist entered in the lUU yard dash and 220 yard dash but lost against superior odds. Other boys who entered were Ioe Cortese, Glenn Williamson, Eddie Mas- lanka and Eddie Start, who had a bad arm and didn't place. Start played tag with the Iunior Pitt -record throwing the javelin, one hundred, seventy-two feet. The boys didn't Win but gained valuable experience for future athletics and also competed against some fine boys. Bill Heist, lim Iarvis, Frank Romeo and Mar- tin Klinar Will not be available this year. Fourth and ten. . .Punt Smashing all previous records set in the short, three year history of the school, Conemaugh Township's 1940 football squad came through with an almost un- blemished record to once more prove that they were rapidly becoming one of the grid powers of the state. A Seven of the eight games in which the Indian participated turned out to be victories as the warriors of Coach Peter Fee ran roughshod over such form- idable foes as Somerset, Indiana, Lew- istown, Portage, Shade Township, Iohns- town Catholic, and Boswell, in one of the toughest schedules of any team in the district. t The Indians gained recognition as a great team in every town or city in which they played as their spectacular aerial attack and variety of trick plays com- pletely baffled their opponents. The Indians were given their first test when they traveled to Somerset and wal- loped the Orange and Black to the tune of 39-0. The Indians experienced little trouble with the Somerset eleven as they scored one or more touchdowns in every quarter. To prove that their victory at Somer- set was not luck, the Indians traveled to Indiana and walloped the charges of Coach Iohn Shane by a 3l-I3 score. The townshippers were given a scare in the opening quarter when the Indiana lads scored a touchdown in the first play of the game, but the Indians retaliated with a counter-attack sparked by its aerial blitzkreig to come out victorious. For the third win the Indians invaded the silk city of Lewistown and came out with a thrilling 12-7 victory. It was in this game that the Indians pulled out of their bag of tricks one of their most spectacu- lar plays of the season. Maslanka, who was standing deep behind his own goal line dropped back as if to kick but in- stead heaved a 30-yard pass to Start who galloped the remaining yardage for a touchdown. The townshippers' other touchdown was also scored on a pass, Maslanka to Barron. On a snow covered field, the In- dians succeeded in taking their fourth consecutive win from a tough Portage eleven by a 7-6 score. The Indians scored on an 80-yard drive which Maslanka cli- maxed with a plunge through the center for the score. Maslanka also plunged for the extra point to clinch the game. Shade Township proved to be the next victim for the powerful Indian squad when the Indians invaded the Cairn- brook school and came home with a 19-12 victory to their credit. Although this was supposed to be an easy victory for Coach Fee's lads, the Shade gridders showed plenty of resistance in holding the Indians to a 7 point victory.

End around. . . Two to go Between five and six thousand fans watched the Crimson Crusher of Iohns- town Catholic try unsuccessfully to match its powerhouse type of game against the spectacular aerial bombardment of the warriors in their annual encounter, and come out on the short end of a 20-19 score. Behind it all was Eddie Maslanka, ace fullback who heaved passes in all directions, completing l6 out of a total oi 28 for 196 yards. All three of the T dian touchdowns came by way of the air lanes as Maslanka's strong right arm had the losers running in circles. Cath- olic was given praise in this game for a powerful running attack, sparked by its 190 pound righthalfback, Charley Yarchak. The Indians in their second invasion of the Point stadium stacked up against another power team in Conemaugh Bor- ough, and when it was all over, the boys from the borough walked away with a 5U-6 win in what proved to be one of the biggest upsets of the season. The Iron Horse's fullback, Ioe Stanslywazk, was the big gun of the Conemaugh attack when he tore the Indian line to shreds on his off tackle smashes. Boswell proved to be number seven for the Braves, when they met in their annual clash at the Point Stadium. Be- Back up the kicker . . . time out cause of the unfavorable weather con- ditions, the game turned out to be a dull one, and at times merely looked like ZZ boys making mud pies. Start romped 48 yards in the last frame for the only tally of the game. With the close of the season rapidly drawing near, the Indians put in two weeks of grueling practice in preparation for a Thanksgiving day battle with their closest rival, Windber High School. But because of a heavy snow fall, the game had to be postponed, much to the disap- pointment of fans from both schools. Although Coach Fee will lose 10 regulars, he refuses to be pessimistic about next year's team, and claims he will have another good squad to work with. The boys who played their last game for Conemaugh Township are Al- vin Trachok, Ioe Palmino, Alex Besyk, Iohn Tomaszewski, Bob Andriene, Har- old Hirominus Charles Samfilippo, Eddie Start, Ioe Cortese, Bill Lape, Ierry Lappi. and Eddie Maslanka. Out of a promising group of junior varsity performers, Coach Fee stated that he will make a stronger line, but the backfield will be considerably weaker. Whether or not Conemaugh Town- ship will have a successful season next year will depend entirely upon Tom Barron, Ioe Mrozowski, and Iim Cheno- weth, lettermen who will be back, and Richard Trachok, Hobart Christie, Louis Pike, Charles Runtz, Iack Yoder, Irwin Watch that sleeper. . .pass Baker, Mike Knurek, Fred Seese, Ioe Tezza, Mike Teymer, and a few other promising athletes. Already lined up for next year are Iohnstown, Ferndale, Somerset, Boswell, Huntingdon, Portage, Shade Township, Catholic, Conemaugh, and Windber. According to Mr. Blough the ath- letic field which is rapidly nearing com- pletion will be ready for use when next year's football season rolls around. Grass has already been sown and at present the N. Y. A. workers have piped water to the field to water the grass. Humus soil was obtained to cover the field before the grass was sown. This soil was secured somewhere in the vicin- ity of Meadville, which at one time was covered with water and was a part of Lake Erie. Four home games are scheduled to be played on the field next football sea- son. Among these will be such foes as Somerset, Boswell, Portage and Shade Township. The athletic field will also include a quarter mile Cinder track which is ex- pected to be completed sometime in the near future. Bleachers will also be in- stalled and if sufficient funds can be raised a lighting system will also be se- cured for night games. After the present arrangements are completed, an effort will be made to con- struct tennis courts for use by school stu- dents desiring to participate in the game. Sink that foul . . . time out The 1940-41 basketball season was not as favorable as last year's but the Indians turned in a fair season. Last year the Indians won eleven games and lost nine. This year the Braves won five and lost the larger margin of games. Last year the Indians won the St. Fran- cis Tournament and District Five cham- pionship. This year they lost at St. Fran- cis and they were not in the district running. This year's basketball schedule was made up of nineteen games. The teams that played Conemaugh Township for the first time were Iohnstown, Ferndale and the Alumni. The schedule was ar- ranged by Howard Helsel. the faculty manager. The first game was an amusing af- fair with the Alumni in which the varsity took an easy victory 34-23. A The mem- bers of last year's varsity C Club were: Cola, Romeo, I. Trachok, Smith, Iarvis and Weible. The second game on the slate was with Somerset Township which won a thriller. The game was tied up 28-28 with very little time to play when Urban sank a field goal that gave Friedens the de- cision. The final score was 30-28 in favor of the Somerset Township lads. Iohnstown had a surprise when the Conemaugh Township Indians were close to victory in IohnstoWn's first game of the season. Iohnstown's second team spelled defeat for the Indians when Iohnstown came from behind in the last half 13-10 to win the game 19-17. The score was tied 17-17 with the game near- ly over when Iohnstown turned on the heat to win. The fourth game was an upset for the Indians with Franklin winning by a large margin 43-22. The fifth game of the schedule was with Ferndale. It was the first athletic encounter between the two schools. Ferndale managed to edge out the war- riors in a heated contest 26-20. This was the last game for two Indian regulars. Maslanka and Trachok. Trachok was high scorer for Conemaugh Township and Levergood was leader for Ferndale. The sixth game was a return match with Iohnstown High, with the Trojans winning the game with a score of 32-22. The Trojans got the lead in the first quar- ter and held it during all the periods of the game. This was a home game for the Warriors but they still lost by a large margin. In the next game the Conemaugh Indians met Boswell and were defeated by a hairline score of 22-21. pI A .W ROW 1-Archie Heist, Thomas Kalminer, Walter Kososki, Paul Ioyce, Edward Start, Thomas Barron, Ioe Sendek, lack Yoder, Edward Baroni, and Charles Salvaggio. l ROW' 2--Mr. Kelly, Ioe Palasky, Conley Blough, Iohn Yoder, Charles Barosky, Andy Wanko, Richard Trachok, Iohn Zambotti, Iames Palmino, Louis Beaniz and Coach Fee. ROW 3-Charles Lynch and Edward Drzewieck Figure eight. . out of bounds In the eighth game of the season the Indians were topped by Berlin with a score of 30-25. Berlin was far ahead of the Indians when the third quarter ended, but the Warriors turned on the heat to score 16 points, and the game ended with Berlin ahead with five points. Koch- ner of Berlin was high scorer of this game with twelve points to his credit. The ninth game was the second win of the season for the Braves. They managed to nose out the Shade Town- shippers, 34-32 by scoring 17 points in the second quarter. Skeltis, who is now in the United States Navy, played in this game making ten of the 34 points. In the following game Conemaugh Township met Somerset Township for a return game and lost it with a hairline decision, 33-32. Friedens held the lead during the first period, but Skeltis made a field goal to put the Indians ahead as the second quarter ended 14-13. Somer- set Township got the lead in the third quarter and held it during the remainder of the game. Then came the return encounter with Ferndale in which Ferndale finally man- aged to defeat the Warriors by five points -29-24. Barron who had two cousins playing on the Ferndale team tried his best to help the Braves win, but his ef- forts were futile. The score was tied up at the halt and at the third quarter. Man for man . . . one shot . . . time In the return match with Somerset the Indians gave Somerset quite a scare before they lost the game by a hairline score of 27-25. The defeat was due to the fouls made by Somerset and .the bad passing of Conemaugh Township. Cone- maugh Township could have tied up the score but Barron, who was entirely sur- rounded by Somerset players shot Wild with only twenty seconds of the game to go. In the next game the Braves took their second win in the Somerset County Class A League by defeating the Meyers- dale Red Raiders 32-29. Conemaugh Township made 12 points through fouls while Meyersdale made five. Each team scored 13 pounds in the last quarter which must have been unlucky for Meyersdale. In the return match with Boswell the Braves lost the game by five points with the score being 27-22. This was a home game for Boswell, which was one of the main reasons for Conemaugh Township's defeat. Their gymnasium was much small- er than that of Conemaugh Township. In the following game the Indians suffered defeat at the hands of the Berlin Blue and White. Berlin held the lead at all quarters by at least 12 points. Englka l - Out of bounds . . . another bucket led the Berlin Forces with five field goals and two fouls while Conemaugh Town- ship's guard, Barron, had a total of ten points. ' The Warriors lost their eighth con- ference game to Somerset with a close score of 24-21. Deadlocked once in the second quarter, 8-8, and once in the last quarter, 19-19, the tussle proved to be a thriller at all times. Leading in points for both teams was Kutchman with two field goals and seven fouls for a total of eleven points. In the next game Conemaugh Town- ship had a home game with Meyersdale and won with a score of 31-17. This was the third conference win for Conemaugh Township. The Indians were out in front at all quarters 5-3, 13-6, and 21-8. Twelve boys played in the game for Conemaugh Township with half of them scoring. Kal- miner was high scorer with Baroni be- ing second. In winning their last conference game of the season the Conemaugh Township Indians added another scalp to their credit by defeating the Shade Townshippers 36-19. This game was an easy win with both the varsity and junior varsity playing. The Franklin game ended the sea- son for the Braves in a heavy downfall when the Blue lays swamped Cone- maugh Township 40-17. The Conemaugh Township papooses' coach,,Bobert Kelly turned in a good re- port on their 1940-41 schedule. They won more games than the varsity, winning Papooses bring home trophy nine out of nineteen games. The little ln- dians played one team that the varsity didn't. This team vvas Southmont. The jayvees took fourth place in the South Fork tourney bringing the only basketball trophy to Conemaugh Town- ship this season. In this tournament the first team the jayvees played was South- mont. They defeated them by ten points with Heist being high scorer with eleven points. In the next game of this tourney the jayvees surprised everyone when they upset the Portage Pups by a close score of 28-26. Portage held the lead as the third quarter ended by ten points- 24-14. The jayvees scored only once in the first quarter, through a foul by Wanko. The third team they met at South Fork was Dale which turned back the Papooses by the large margin 35-22. This was a semi-final game of the tourna- ment. The last game of the tournament for the jayvees was with Franklin. The Blue lays Won by ct large margin 40-19, taking home the third place honors. Trachok playing guard during the entire tourna- ment was given honorable mention when the all-tournament team was announced. A The jayvees defeated Somerset Town- ship 34-l5g lost to Iohnstown 40-20g and were deefated by Ferndale 2l-5. In the ? South Fork jayvee semi-finalists fourth game Frank1in's Iayvees were vic- torious over the Conemaugh Township Papooses Z7-20. The fifth game brought together two teams for the second time, Iohnstown and Conemaugh Township. In this game Iohnstown swamped the little Indians 41-5. The next game was be- tween two very close rivals, Conemaugh Township and Boswell. Boswe1l's' Iayvees proved to be superior when they defeat- ed the Little Braves 36-17. The first match between Berlin and Conemaugh Town- ship was very close with Berlin being edged out by the Little Warriors 18-16. In the next game the Braves were again victorious when they scalped Shade Township by a large score 54-l3. Cone- maugh Township met Ferndale and were defeated 31-13.

The little Indians split even in the next four games winning two and losing two. juniors win. . .Seventh Grade growls Home room basketball is an activity in which nearly all of the students of Conemaugh Township get to participate, and that is one of the reasons Why it has become so popular. The ninth grade home room basket- ball tournament ended With room 203 winning five straight to take the cham- pionship. Dragar, Frywald, Czuplak, Da- vis, Goughenour, and Frederick are the boys that make up the ninth grade team. - The eighth grade tournament ended with room 100 Winning the first place berth by taking four straight gamesg room 201 was next with 3 Wins and l de- feat to their credit.

Looking better than their opponents throughout the game, the eighth grade champions were edged out in a sizzeller by the ninth grade champions by a 4 to 2 margin Thursday, March 2, 1941. Martell of the eighth grade team re- ceived one field goal and the only one for the losers, While Dragar scored one basket for the Winners with Frywald and Goughenour each making one charity heave.

The vic- tory was gained in the last two contests when Haney, a 145 pounder pinned Per- cherles in oneminute and twenty sec- onds and Baker was awarded a decision over Fisher.
