The temperature, however, did not daunt us, we began the usual ritual of learning where to go and when, amidst the embar- rassing ridicule of all the upperclassmen. Eventually we became accustomed to this new en- vironment. As sophomores, we were quite as intelligent, we felt, as any preceding class. We were small in quantity but we soon proved our quality. In our junior year several of our more brilliant classmates joined the June 1939 Class. Our social activities included two picnics and weiner roast which took place in South Park. Early in our Senior year we elected our class officials. For these honors we selected as president, Oliver Freeman, as vice president, Don Miller, as treasurer, john Hughes, and as secretary, Jane Bodecker. We chose Miss Burton and Mr. Smith as class guardians. On December second, 1939, we gave our version of the play, It Never Happens Twice. We shall always feel this was one of our most brilliant successes. That long, anxiously awaited event, Senior Class Day, on january 12th was one of the highlights of our high school careers. One program, featuring a model Dormont High School classroom, under the direction of Professor Tucker, consisted of many modern musical compositions presented in various sketches. Our dear Senior B's labored tediously with Left- over Christmas decorations to make our promenade a success. Baccalaureate Services with Rev- erend Albert Gage delivering the sermon made us appreciate our four years spent at Dormont High School and look forward to the future. Thursday, january 25th, we, clad in gray, as- sembled for our Commencement Exercises in Hillsdale Auditorium. The oratory program in- cluded China Blue Eyesj' a reading, by Carol Sproulg Why Should the High School Graduate Go to College? by Virginia Miller, Why the High School Graduate Should Go to College, by Milton Scheimerg What is an Education? -jane Bodecker. The musical program consisted of a piano solo by Oliver Freeman, a violin solo by Charles Flasch, and a Clarinet solo by Eve Baxter. Though the world was in dire financial and political difficulties because of the European war, we joyously received our diplomas and set forth to take our places in the world.

We are not conventional in the least. Instead of immediately falling prey to the vicious sophomores, we turned and smote the Philistines. CHallelujah!J Some of our number soon found there were no elevators but a few optimists are still looking. We were preternaturally precocious, fa few of us had already had datesb and within a year our teachers had advanced us to sophomore standing. As sophomores we began to concen- trate more on developing our social contacts and held a dance in the gym. CThe fact that most of us couldn't dance didn't stop us.D Our 'unior ear was notable not onl because we had achieved the status of u erclassmen, l Y Y but because we lost most of our inhibitions and what inclination to work we had formerly possessed. In short we sought pleasure instead of scholastic success, we trod the Primrose Path. Our senior year marked our last and greatest step forward, we became the leaders of the student body in name as well as in fact Cand we knew ith. There was an immediate about face , we concentrated on our work Cextra curricular activitiesl. We gave D. H. S. her first W. P. I. A. L. football championship. We gave the best prom in the history of the school. And finally, we graduate, still the same modest, unassuming, business-like and talented group that entered Dormont High just four years ago. ATHLETICS g FOOTBALL Q BASKETBALL Q WRESTLING g TRACK g GIRLS' SPORTS Head Coach Samuel G. Smith has just completed ten years as the local coach. His record is very outstanding and impressive with an eighty per cent win average, a Class A Championship in football, and five sectional titles in basketball. Well liked by the players and the whole student body, Coach Smith has compiled an enviable record of which the school is justly proud. Assistant Coach Fred W. Loeffler has maintained his all-important position for the past fifteen years. In this time he has directed his efforts mainly in developing fast, hard-charging lines, and floor squads well drilled in the fundamentals of play. Of a shy and retiring nature, Coach Loeffler is popular among his proteges and loath to accept the credit he so richly deserves The 1939 football season was the best in the seventeen year grid history of Dormont High School. This year's team won eight straight games after dropping the open- ing warm-up contest to Marion High of Fairhope, Penn- sylvania. The eight victims of the Bulldogs were Langley, Mt. Lebanon, Bellevue, Crafton, McKees Rocks, Carrick, Carnegie, and Brentwood. The last two games clinched the W. P. I. A. L. Class A title for the locals, the first in the history of the school.

G40 MARION-Dormont lost the opening game of the season to Marion High by a score of 13-6. The local's play was ragged, only occasionally giving promise of real form. Marion, a newcomer to Dormont's schedule, played a consistent game, with fullback Cvetan their star. This loss was the only mar on an otherwise perfect record. LANGLEY-The team con- tinued to hide its true form but managed to eke out a 6-0 win over Langley. Showing improve- ment over the Marion game, however, Dormont took charge in the second half and drove 72 yards for the only score of the game. This late scoring march proved typical of the team throughout the remainder of the season. MT. LEBANON-Dormont revenged last yearls 58-0 rout by whipping the Blue Devils 13-6. The team was much improved and kept Mt. Lebanon bottled up in midfield most of the time. Dormont's running attack featured the con- test. Mt. Lebanon flashed a good aerial game which was their chief threat. Crawford and Brown scored the touchdowns. 089 BELLEVUE--The Bulldogs really broke loose in this game, smothering the Bellevue boys under a 25-0 avalanche. Dormont scored at will in every quarter except the fourth, and stopped all Bellevue scoring attempts cold. Crawford and Brown were outstanding for Dormont, each with a long touchdown run to his credit. The Bellevue game marked the first outbreak of the team's fine offense which led Dormont to the W. P. I. A. L. title. CRAFTON-Piling up a 21-0 score, Dormont easily defeated Crafton, pre- viously expected to provide a real test for the Bulldogs. Crafton was simply outclassed, having a net gain of only 25 yards, against 265 yards for Dormont. True to form, the team only made 6 points in the first half, but steamrolled Crafton for two touchdowns and a safety in the second half. G40 MCKEES ROCKS-A fighting Rox team really threw a scare into the Bulldogs, who finally rolled up an 18-0 score. McKees Rox dominated the first quarter, but Dor- mont bounced back to score two touchdowns before the half ended. The second half was a see-saw affair, with the team finally punching across 6 points in the final fifteen seconds. CARRICK - Dormont completely out-classed Carrick, scoring a decisive 19-0 victory. The Bulldogs rolled up a total gain of 229 yards while holding Carrick to 107 yards. Flashing a ver- satile offense, Dormont tallied 15 points in the first half. Black scored the first touchdown on a screen pass play, with Brown adding the second on the receiving end of a 45-yard pass. Crawford scored the extra point on a run. The last tally was made by Thorsen late in the second half. G40 CARNEGIE-An underdog Dormont team played inspired football to defeat a powerful Carnegie aggregation 15-6, in the most exciting game of the season. The game got off to a relatively slow start, but the Bulldogs soon struck through the air, Black tallying the first touchdown of the contest to put Dormont ahead 6-0. The rest of the first period was featured by the great line play of both teams, Carnegie finally managing to break through our defense and tie up the game at 6 all. All through the 3rd quarter the teams battled each other to a standstill, but finally in the last quarter the passing attack of the Smithmen proved too much for Carnegie, Crawford climaxing a length-of-the-field scoring drive with a pass to Milani for the deciding touchdown with but two seconds to play. Thorsen booted home the extra point. This battle practically determined the 1.939 Class A Champions. PLAYER Crawford Brown Thorsen Sankey Milani Drumm Wagner Broderick Deeley Barrett Black Herrman Safety BRENTWOOD - Dormont decisively whipped Brentwood 26-7 to cinch the Class A. Cham- pionship. The Bulldogs rolled up the highest score of the 1939 season to close the most success- ful campaign in Dormont's grid history. The team scored 7 points quickly in the first quar- ter and were off to a fine start, until a reserve Brentwood back, Ebersberger, ran back the kick- off through the entire Dormont team for a 92 yard touchdown jaunt. The locals soon recovered from this jolt, however, and tal- lied 13 points more before the first half ended. Late in the second half Milani added an- other touchdown. This game clinched the W. P. I. A. L. title for the locals and brought down the curtain on a great season.

He was a stone wall on the defense and well- nigh perfect when leading the inter- ference. His intelligent generalship on the field enabled the team to get the jump on many opponents. Al- ways a true leader, he was an inspira- tion to his team mates. BOB EDMUNDS, center, was a snapper-back of the first class. He constituted a bulwark in the center of the line, working with the guards in opening huge holes in the opposing lines. On the defense he backed up the line in a rough and ready man- ner. Bob played almost every minute of every game over a gruelling sea- son. TOM CRAXVFORD, h a l f - b a c k. made a star performance in every contest. A hard, fleet-footed runner, powerful punter, and accurate passer, he was a constant threat which the opposition found hard to overcome. With all this, Tom was a team play- er. certainly an important factor in the team's success. BILL BRODERICK, end and quar- terback, was equally proficient at either post. However he saw most ac- tion at end, where, despite his small stature, he play. Fast good pass be desired. greatly to was hard to take out of a in covering punts and a receiver, Bill left little to His spirit and fight added the team's play. RUSS FICHTER, tackle, was one of the real powerhouses of the line. When he hit a ball carrier, the latter was definitely down. His bruising game discouraged many opponents from trying to run over his posi- tion. Russ rates as one of the best defensive tackles the Bulldogs ever had. CHICK BAILEY, tackle, was one of the giant cogs in the forward wall. He wasn't spectacular but a consistent player, always willing to rough it up' when the occasion arose. There is another season for Chick, in which to batter the opposition. VESS SANKEY, half-back, showed great potentialities all season but was hampered by injuries. He was a smooth runner, a good passer, and a long-distance punter. Vess sparked the team to its win over Carnegie with his brilliant sprint in the clos- ing moments of the game. DON BLACK, end, has been a fix- ture at his position for two years. In aerial snatching, Don has no peer. He's downfield on punts with the agility of a half-back. Opposing backs soon learn that his end is no place around which to gain yardage. An- other year of competition and Don should be on top. AL MILANI, quarterback, was the blocking back. He led the devastating interference without which the run- ning plays would have failed. Al al- so bucked the line when a few prec- ious yards were needed, He'll be back next year for another great season. DICK FLYNN, guard, is another junior with another great year com- ing up. Dick is a fighter, full of grit and determination when it comes to giving up ground. The arm injury he sustained in the Carnegie game is thoroughly healed and he should be ready to go again next fall. DU GOLDBERG, guard, is a heavy-set junior definitely a hard per- son to move around. He got off the bottom of the pile many times wheth- er the play came his way or not. On the offense Du could move quick- ly and powerfully in out-maneuver- ing his man. Hejll help immensely next season. JIM GLASS, tackle, played fine bruising football. Of tall and heavy build he was seldom bettered in bat- tles with opposing linesmen. Jim of- ten caught backs before they started by reason of his aggressiveness. He has another season in which to dis- play the same type of fine play. KEN BROWN, half-back, played a standout game all season. Exception- ally fast in going either to his right or left, he was very hard to bring down. Ken handled punts well and was shifty in the open. A good block- er and defenseman, Ken teamed with Crawford to give the school its great- est half-back combination in history. 'QSXVEDEH THORSEN, full-back, was the steam roller in the backfield. He seldom failed to get the needed yardage with his line bucks and off- tackle thrusts. Swede directed the team with keenness and foresight that often won praise. He was a good blocker and placekicker, and will surely be needed when he returns next season. BILL IRELAND performed his managerial duties in a most efficient manner. Irish was popular among the team members who realized that his efficient work also contributed to the teamis success. He was assisted by john jeffrey and John Bennett. BOB HOOVER, end, got off to a slow start but as the season pro- gressed, he developed into a stellar performer. He caught passes and covered punts well, and bottled up the opposition on the defense. His catch in the Carnegie battle paved the way for the winning score. 059 FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Charles Bailey, Jim Bender, Don Black, Bill Broderick, Ken Brown, Tom Crawford, Dick Deeley, Bob Edmunds, Russ Fichter, Dick Flynn, Harry Goldberg, Jim Glass, Dave Herrman, Bob Hoover, Al Milani, Bob Miller, John Postel, Eldor Thorsen, Vess Sankey, Bill Ireland fManagerJ.

'Cf B S ETBA V 'tl I 1 I 1 l The 1939-40 basketball season introduced a wholesale change in the W. P. I. A. L. schedule of the Dormont cagers. A shift in the sections removed Dormont from Section 8 and its tra- ditional rivals and shifted the Bulldogs to Section 2. Mt. Lebanon and Brentwood were also included in this section as new members, in addition to three former members, Canonsburg, Trinity, and Washington. As usual, there was a short schedule of non-league games as a warm- up for the locals. The opening contest was with Allegheny Vocational, with Dormont topping the visitors, 42-36. Allderdice was the next foe of the Bulldogs, and they succumbed on the local court to the tune of 33-30. Continuing their winning ways, Dormont whipped a visiting Leetsdale quintet by 44-33 score. On December 15, Dormont met the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf on their home court and came away with a 53-40 triumph. The five-game winning streak of the local cagers was broken when they lost to South Hills, 28-26, on the latter team's home court. The next non-league game was with Langley. Dormont had little trouble with the Langleyites, winning 39-18. Schenley invaded the Bulldog's court on December 27, but they were stopped by the locals, 39-31. Dormont met Trinity, their first opponent in Section 2 competition, on january 2 on the home court. The locals got off on the right foot, trimming the invaders 46-35. On january 6 the team journeyed to Washington to play their second league game and managed to win 29-27, in a tough, hard-fought battle. In another warm- up contest on January 9, the local hoopsters defeated Crafton, an old rival, 35-26. Resuming W. P. I. A. L. play the Bulldogs met Brentwood on their hardwood and continued on their unbeaten way in Section 2 by winning, 34-32. On january 16 the Dormont passers took on another old foe not in league competition, in Carnegie and drubbed them to the tune of 44-30. Dormont played host to Canonsburg on january 19 and really was the perfect host to the Gun- ners, losing to them 44-34, for the first local loss in W. P. I. A. L. contests. Dormont met her perennial rival, Mt. Lebanon, on january 23, to finish the first half of Section 2 competition, and knocked off the Leboites by a 55-27 score. On January 26 the local quintet met a highly- touted Bellevue team on the home floor and whipped them 40-29, in a hard-fought, thrilling battle. The first game of the second half of W. P. I. A. L. opposition was with Trinity on February 50 and the local passers materially decreased the chances for the section title by losing to a weak Trinity team, 27-21. The Bulldogs sprang back from the stigma of the Trinity defeat to whip Washington the second time, 51-25. February 6 saw the locals meeting a fine Duquesne team on the opponent's floor. The Bulldogs bowed to the superior play of their foes by a score of 55-22. Brentwood met Dormont on the home hardwood on February 9 and avenged an earlier defeat by the locals to a 55-27 tune. The team journeyed to Canonsburg on February 16, where the Gunners blasted them 54-57. February 20 brought Mt. Lebanon to the local court for the big home game of the season, which the Bulldogs won 45-52 to wind up with a win. The record or the '59-40 season was 15 wins and six losses, with second place in the Section 2 race as runner-up to Canonsburg. Bellevue, winner of the Section 10 title, was a victim of the Smithmen. The local floormen scored a grand total of 776 points throuhout the season to 674 for the opposition, Dormont's average score per game being 57 points to the opponent's 52. Black tallied the highest individual total with 211 points, an average of 10 per game. Warren McCullough was second with 150, and Robert Edmunds third with 110. Vess Sankey Cmid-year graduateb scored the highest individual total in a single game with 21 in the first Trinity contest. He also had a high half-year record of 86 points. This season's squad finished with a fine record, 15 wins and 6 defeats, and often stole the show in the preliminary battles. Weitzel, Drumm, Brownlee, jeffrey, Goldberg, Milani, Kreps, Beadling, Bennett, and Snyder bore the strain of a tough schedule very well, losing close battles only to Snowden, Washington, Duquesne, Allderdice, Schenley, and Canonsburg. 00-9 1959-40 BASKETBALL RECORD Non-League Games Section 2 Games Dormont 42-Allegheny Voc.

Rebound Tip off Nip tries a side shot Waiting Stretch! Make it good! The 1939-40 wrestling season proved to be fairly successful for the Dormont High matmen. Nine matches were scheduled of which the locals won two and lost seven. This year's team was expected to compile a better record, having Stanley, Moore, Hermann, Criswell, and Chris- ten returning as veterans from last year's squad, but the exceptionally small number of candi- dates and the inexperience of the boys in the upper weight brackets caused the grapplers to fail in meeting pre-season hopes. The season opened with Dormont wrestling Trafford at Trafford and dropping their first decision by a 26-11 score. Moore, Criswell, and Christen won for Dormont. The second match was with Greensburg at home, the locals again being beaten, this time by a 315-415 score. Dormont managed to win the third match, which was with Elizabeth at home. The final score was 1915 for the home matmen against 1215 for Eliza- beth. Visiting Shadyside for the next struggle, Dormont lost to the Academy wrestlers for the first time in the history of the wrestling relations between the two schools to the tune of 18-16. Dormont met tougher opposition than was expected in the next home bout with Carnegie, but the local boys managed to trounce them 17-10. This was the last taste of victory the team had during the regular season, for they lost the next four matches to Mt. Lebanon, 1-4K3-9K3 West View, 19-8, Shadyside, 13-9, and Canonsburg, 30W-615. Joe Christen and Ed Moore were con- sistent winners for Dormont, with Brown, Criswell, and Stanley winning several matches each. Coach Dickerhoff sent Christen, Moore, Brown, and Stanley to the W.P.I.A.L. meet at Waynes- burg, March lst and 2nd, and the local grapplers showed up much better than the season's record would have led the team's supporters to expect. Christen won his first two matches, only to lose in the semi-finals to Malackey of Canonsburg, who went on to become the new champion. Eddie Moore also went to the semi-finals, but he also lost, in his case to Murdock of Waynes- burg, who repeated as champion. Ken Brown was eliminated in the first round by Sutherland of Mt. Lebanon in a tough over-time battle. Don Stanley drew a bye in the first round, but he was defeated by Stanley of Canonsburg, runner-up in his division of the tournament. R At the time of this writing the Dormont track team has participated in only one meet, the an- nual triangular affair with Mt. Lebanon and McKees Rocks. As usual, Mt. Lebanon proved the victor, having a total of 74 points. Dormont, improving over last year's third place showing, captured second place with 31 points, and McKees Rocks finished third with a 28-point total. The showing of Dormont in this meet boosts the hopes for a very successful '40 track season. This year's team was not expected to come up to that of '39, due to the graduation of several key men in both track and field events. However, new men have stepped up to fill their shoes at this early date, which gives promise of an improved aggregation later on in the season. Crawford and Broderick will be Dormont's main hopes in the 100 and 200-yard dashes, with Dan Walters continuing his good work in the 440, along with a newcomer, james Boyd. Bob Miller will run the half mile, with james Glass and Robert Freyvogel also competing. In the mile Tom Heselbarth is expected to lower his 5:03.l mark of last year, which will keep him at the top of the heap of the school's distance men. The mile relay team was expected to find it tough going this year, with only two of last year's record-holding team returning, Crawford and Walters. Weldon Kreps and james Boyd stepped up to plug the gap, and surpassed all hopes by winning first place in the triangular meet with a time of 3:03.3, only 3.3 seconds over the record of 3 minutes established last year by Baney, Crawford, Hughes, and Haseman. This looks as if Dormont will continue to have a crack mile relay team. No great hopes are entertained for the half-mile relay team, however, due to a third place in the triangular meet. As yet it is an unknown quantity, and will have to prove itself as the season continues. Ken Brown and jim Glass carry the Dormont hopes in the low and high hurdles. Glass took third place in the high hurdles in the triangular meet. Dormont's field team is roughly of the same caliber as last year's, with perhaps some ground lost in the discus and pole vault events. Weaver and Glass in the high jump, with Crawford, and a Connellsville transfer, Walter Jones, in the broad jump, are Dormont's best men in these events. Ralph Brautigam is the outstanding shot putter, and Warren McCullough is expected to be our best bet in the discus. The pole vaulters, Walter jones, Bob King, and Bill Walker, performed very adequately in the triangular meet, captur- ing second and third places. Tom Crawford will continue to lead in the javelin, with Bob Ed- munds the next best hurler. All in all, the '40 track team appears to shape up as quite an ac- ceptable unit, and will probably exceed the hopes entertained for it. GIRL'SPORTS The largest and most popular of the girls, clubs in Dormont High is the Girls' Athletic Club. The club's purpose is to create interest in girls' athletics and to promote school spirit and good sportsmanship. In obtaining these aims, the members participate in a variety of sports including basketball, soccer, mushball, ping pong, shuffleboard, badminton, and volley ball. Points are awarded to the girls' participating in each separate sport. Upon acquiring the total number of 1,000 points, a girl is awarded her letter. Due to the fact that several sports are not available in the school, the program is extended to individual outside activities such as swimming, horse- back riding, tennis, roller skating, cycling, and bowling. Charlotte Everstine did a wonderful job of managing basketball. Great competition was aroused between the teams and out of the scramble emerged jean Porter's twelfth grade Scotties as victors. The most popular events of the club year are the play days. This year Dormont was invited to attend the New Kensington, Mt. Lebanon, Seton Hill, Tech, and Pitt play days. Play day in Dormont on May 25 was a most unusual affair. For the first time in the school's history, big leaguers competed on the athletic field. Of course the outstanding teams such as the Yankees, Dodgers, Pirates, etc., were represented by girls from Mt. Lebanon, Avalon, Bridge- ville, Brentwood, Swissvale, Clark, Carnegie, Se on Hill, New Kensington, Gumbert, Harbrack, Crafton, and Dormont. Under the sponsorship of Miss Simons, the club's activities were managed by the following officers: President, Dee Dumasg Vice President, june Dundas, Secretary, Babs Moormang Treas- urer, LaVerta Martin. The DU Club, an offspring of the G.A.C., is outstanding because it is the one club that keeps in contact with its alumnae and because it represents unusual achievement. Graduate members return each year to the banquet to reminisce and renew old acquaintances. After the banquet the graduates participate in a basketball game with the undergraduates and sometimes, as was the case this year, the old girls demonstrate their superior ability by defeat- ing the undergraduates. The alumnae list totals 52 members while the club's current member- ship is nine.

The plot centered around the experiences of Stephen Latimer when his new and old loves met. After many exciting and amusing situations, the play ended in the traditionally happy manner. Under the direction of Miss Margaret H. Miller, the cast included: John Hughes as Stephen Latimerg Paul Gorman, Wade Bannister, Alvin Tucker, Don Bennett, Milton Scheimer, Charles Bennettg Emma jean Dunlap, Julia Bennett, Marjorie Price, Eve Annesleyg Carol Sproul, Lola Gayle, Helen Rose, Doris Pomeroy, Marjorie Johnston, Myrtle Dixon, June Davis, Laverne. JU ECLASSPL New Fires, the June Class Play, was presented in the Hillsdale Auditorium, Friday, April 5, 1940. It was a three-act comedy by Charles Quimby Burdette. The play concerned the family of Stephen Santrey, an author who realized that his family had lost the worthwhile things of life and the desire to make good. To remedy this condition, Stephen took the family to a farm in the Ozark mountains where he decreed that only those who worked would eat. The cast included Tom Harder as Stephen, Jane McKendrick as his wife, Jean Porter as Olive, Bob Edmunds as the doctor, Frances Cox and joe Christen as Stephen's younger children, Dick Colan as the indolent elder son, Betty Haas as Dick's wife, Harriet Jett as the neighbor girl, Claire Keebler as her mother, Janice Carey and jean Flanagan as the house-keepers, and Bob Freyvogel, Lillian Sheasby, and Charles Patrick as the tenant family. Lucy Jane Andrews acted as book-holder. FEBRU RY CLASS PRUM On january 15, 1940, the February Class Prom was held at the Hillsdale Auditorium which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The ujitterbug Jamboree was the theme of the Prom with the revolving center-piece high-lighting the decorations. Music was furnished by Ralph Allen and his Detroiters.
