Twenty Six FLASHBACK Twenty Seven c L A S S 0 F I 9 5 I Station F. H. S. is proud to present the Junior Class of 1950. This pleasant-looking group is eager- ly anticipating next year, when they will have reached the twelfth and top rung in the ladder of their public education, the senior year. Behind them lie all the achievements of eleven years of study and work. This past year they were busy becoming expert magazine salesmen, thereby earning the wherewithal for the Junior-Senior Prom. They took to soap box oratory, arguing the pros and cons of ' opening the Prom, and finally the majority voted open. They selected their class ring, and waited impatiently for the day when the rings arrived. But, of course, their studies were their main con- cern, and they eagerly availed themselves of every opportunity to learn. They have enjoyed a well- balanced program of work and play, which has produced the Class of 1951. Twenty Eight DISC JOCKEY JUNIORS IUNIORS UPPER PICTURE _ „ .....

Thirty Each morning of the school year the teachers in home rooms 25, 26, and 37 experience the dubi- ous pleasure of shepherding the sophomore class through the first study period of the school day. These sophomores have now reached the half- way point of their high school education. In the past year they have labored diligently, bringing twigs and bits of moss for biology class, and com- puting the range and velocity of a small wad of paper propeled by a rubber band. Yes, they are half-way through high school, and they hope that the two years ahead will be as delightful as the two behind them. • c L A S s 0 F Thirty One c L A S s 0 F I 9 5 3 Your attention please! We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin from our F. H. S. newsroom. Our correspondents have in- terviewed the Ferndale freshman class, and have found these young people very pleasant, co-opera- tive. and friendly. They have been a great asset to their school in the past year. We feel that they have acquired some valuable top secrets, for they show every sign of becoming fine sophomores next year. That is all the news for now, but keep tuned to this station for any further developments. HIGH FREQUENCY FRESHMEN iRfsT11 OW Uai(tER.oPlr ToRECh.rl..«c Hull. Ronald Devine. Ri.« Koontr.

The democratic process prevails here, and the stu- dents themselves elect the members of the Student Council. Mr. Keller is sponsor of this group, which is composed of twen- ty-four members, or two from each home room. When occa- sion arises, each student in the school votes on the issue un- der consideration and the majority rules. The Student Coun- cil is responsible for many of the comforts of life enjoyed at Ferndale, the milk machine, the candy machine, and the noon-time movies. Mr. Keller and our Council have estab- lished a fine policy of respect and co-operation among the student body of F. H. S. Thirty Nine ANNOUNCERS Good morning! This is station FHS, bring- ing you the world, sports, and school news . . . With these familiar words prep period comes to a close and the Audio-Visual Club begins its daily broadcast from their private studio located in Mr. Keller's Inner Sanctum. Due to the efforts of these ardent news-gath- erers, we can sit in our home rooms and hear everything from Joe Stalin's latest caper to some freshman's fourteenth birthday. Darwin Jones was sent to station WARD to speak for Ferndale on the 1490 Club. Two con- testants were entered in the radio-speaking section of the annual Forensic Contest, where Bill Savering took first place with a superior rating. By keeping the students of F. H. S. in touch with news events, the Audio-Visual Club performs a daily service to the school. Audio-Visual Club KNEELING (left to right) Bob Krissingcr. Albert Parley. Bill Savering. Fred Riah.

These newshawks never miss a trick, and everything about everybody is known in the headquarters of this Ferndale monthly. Students eagerly await publication day of the Courier, when their school activities are praised and the current school news is well compiled. They habitually turn to the feature columns — “The Findings of Herlock Sholmes , “Musically Speaking , and “Teen Tips . With Bob Krissinger as a capable edi- tor, this year's Courier has truly been a fine paper. Congratulations to all who worked on the paper that “sees all, hears all, knows all, prints all .

Curtain call Forty Five MATINEE PERFORMANCE Only an announcer with Ferdie Ferndale's experience could adequately report on the varied assembly programs held each Friday in the F. H. S. auditorium. These are the times when the entire school gathers together for special meetings of interest and of cultural value. During the year ten full length movies are shown, and students hear outstanding people of Johnstown as special speakers. Students who have special talents are also presented in these programs, sing- ing, speaking, dancing, or playing instrumental musical numbers. The performers have a splen- did opportunity to develop stage presence, while their fellow students enjoy the results of talent and practice. During football season, the assemblies are used to develop a school spirit of loy- alty to our team. In the assembly each student learns to feel that he is a definite part of this fine student body.

The club was or- ganized in Ferndale just this year, but these energetic girls have already had a hand in a variety of activities. They took a trip to Harrisburg to see the Farm Show, where Marlene Tredennick won a prize for a blouse she had on display. The girls also had several bake sales. Betty Ann Keating and Bernadette Sheehan attended a Region B meeting at Bedford Springs. Romayne Freeman was a delegate to the state convention at Scranton and was also elected secretary of Region B.

You will hear sweet strains of delightful music. Who is making this music? Why, the two choruses—the girls' chorus and the mixed chorus. This year the girls' chorus was not such a large one, but the members got much accomplished. They practiced once a week to prepare for the musical held in the spring. Besides preparing for the mus- ical, the mixed chorus had other activities in which it partici- pated. In the spring the group went to various churches, pre- senting programs of sacred music.

SWING BAND The house lights dim, the crowd grows quiet, and Maestro Dovenspike raises his baton . . . ! On the downbeat of that baton the first haunting strains of Some Enchanted Evening are emitted from the various instruments of the F. H. S. Swing Band, and another delightful session of Dancing with Dovenspike is under way. When the audience has been lulled to a dreamy mood by this selection, the tempo is changed, and the band cuts loose with some red-hot rhythm that sets everyone s foot to tap- ping. With their professional approach, these masters of the mod- em mood rank with the leading name bands on our Hooper Rating. FIRST ROW (left lo right I: Dwight Ptcuenyt. Ttrrv Stuver. M� rion Prblrv.

Cheer Leaders You certainly don't have to turn up volume on your radio to hear this snappy group of twelve. All through the year they were on hand to lead the cheers which boosted the boys to victory. Every night after school they were found practicing hard in the gym. They introduced many new cheers this year. During football season the cheerleaders were responsible for the pep meetings every week. In basketball season, they appeared in snappy new uniforms. They entered the annual Cheerleading Contest held at Johnstown High in January and came out with third place. Congratulations, girls, for your fine work! Fitly Six SPORTS AUTHORITIES And now we are proud to dedicate a few minutes to the F-Club, an organization com- posed of varsity athletes who have worked hard all year to uphold Ferndale's great tradi- tions in the athletic line. The basic purposes of the club are teachinng sportsmanship and encouraging boys to put their best efforts into athletics. If a boy has played half the total time for the season of football, basketball, track, base- ball, or golf, he is eligible for membership in this organization. Before becoming a member, he must survive a rugged” initiation, which is enjoyed by the whole school. If a member fails to live up to the club's code of sportsmanship, he may lose the privilege of wearing his var- sity letters and be excluded from the whole- some fellowship of the F-Club, Ferndale's Hall of Fame.” OFFICERS President—Ernie Boerstler Vice President—Karl Klinar Secretary—Bob Krissinger F-Club FIRST ROW I left to right): for Dallape.

To the end, his greatest interest was the team—not one, but a group of individuals, striving toward the same goal. With Dick there was never a dull moment. His ceaseless work for the improvement of the school and its athletic standards will not be forgotten. We of Ferndale High School profited much under the guidance of Richard Nadrash, and our success in the future will be greatly influenced by the memory of his con- stant aid and warm friendliness.

With only five letter-winners from the previous season returning, the team lacked much in experience. After a three-day workout on the Ferndale practice field, the coaches chose a squad of thirty-eight boys to go to football camp. During their ten days at Camp Blue Knob, both squad and coaches worked hard to prepare the team for the season ahead. In the opening game with Richland, the Jackets showed no signs of weakness as they pushed over a 14-0 victory. Dominating the game both offensively and defensively, the Stingers gave a particularly fine exhibition of passing. In the following game Ebensburg surprised the Jackets by scoring on the very first play. Although holding their highly rated opponents scoreless for the remainder of the game, Fern- dale was unable to cross the goal line more than once and the final count was a 6-6 dead- lock. A powerful Conemaugh Township team, predicted to run away with Ferndale, were able to score only a 14-6 victory over the Stingers. The Indians did all their scoring in the first quarter of the game. Femdale's next encounter was with Indi- ana, who were as yet undefeated. The hard- fighting Jackets came through to hand the boys from Indiana a 6-0 defeat. Conemaugh gave the Stingers their second loss, 13-7, by taking a game played on a mud- covered field. Ferndale was in the lead until the last ninety seconds when Conemaugh pushed over the winning touchdown. The setback of the season came when the Black and Gold lost to a surprisingly strong Adams team, 13-6. The Jackets scored in the Sixty Nine Bench warmers Block that punt Fix em up. coaches Sheehan returns punt Last minute huddle Hit 'em low opening minute of play but could not hold on to the lead. Ferndale pulled one of the district's biggest upsets when they held DuBois, the Western Conference Champs, scoreless for a 7-0 vic- tory. The Jackets displayed fine spirit in this game and were in control throughout the con- test. The Stingers next traveled to Bedford where they again played on a muddy field. Although getting off to a slow start, the Jackets wasted no time coming back in the second half to swamp Bedford, 20-7. The Jackets pulled another upset as they beat Westmont on their own field, 7-0. This was the first time the rivals played on the Westmont field, a fact expected to give the Hilltop boys a bit of an edge. Ferndale cli- maxed the game with a 73-yard touchdown run. In the final game of the season the Sting- ers chalked up a 33-7 victory over Portage. The latter put up a great battle the first half but could not keep up to the hard pace set by the Jackets in the second half.

Late in the summer Karl Klinar, a last year's letterman, suffered a fractured ankle. This in- jury made it impossible for him to play the first game. . . . While playing in the Richland game, Tom Zack received a badly bruised hip and was taken to the hospital. Because of this injury, he was unable to play much of the following game. . . . Fred Dallape was shelved while playing in a game against Conemaugh Township. He suffered a dislocated elbow and didn't see any action the following game. . . . On the practice field several evenings be- fore the Indiana game, disaster struck hard. Steve Marcinko broke his ankle and was un- able to play for the remainder of the season. . . . While in action against Indiana, Edwin Wicknick injured his back and was removed from the game. Receiving a second injury in the next game, he was unable to play the last three games. . . . Bob Flick registered casual- ty number six when playing in the Adams game. Troubled with a sprained back, he couldn't play much of the next two games. . . . Ernie Boerstler made Ferndale's chances of winning the Westmont game grow slighter. He received a nose injury in the DuBois game which necessitated an operation two days be- fore the Westmont game. Although he was permitted to attend as a spectator, he was un- able to play the all-important game. The day before the Westmont game, three Ferndale players, all of whom had been in the starting line-up, were patients in the hospital. Mike Maksim, the third patient, had a close call but was able to play the next day.

They got off to a fast start with three straight wins before losing one. In the next game they scored two touchdowns in the last quarter, making their fourth win. They lost one, won one more, and then lost the last two to complete the season. Coach Dick Nadrash's junior high didn't do as well as the junior varsity, winning only one game while losing six. They began the season with two losses before winning their lone game. They lost the next four games, but gain- ed valuable experience. The junior varsity and junior high games are scheduled mainly to prepare the boys that are moving up to the varsity for what is to come. FIRST ROW llcll to tight I Dean Harrison.

The Stingers again, as in football, lacked size as well as experience. Only two letlermen returned from last year's squad, and the team had several members who just topped the five-foot mark. The lack of size was compensated by floor ability and a fast-breaking team. The Jackets started the regular season with an easy 37-11 win over Stonycreek. Femdale took advantage of a third quarter rally by out- scoring the visitors 13 to 0 in that quarter. . . . Next Femdale took a clean sweep over Richland. The first game went to Femdale 74-39, thanks to a big third quarter when the jackets out-shot the Rams 18-4. Later in the season the Stingers again dumped the Rams 62-49. . . . Adams Township was the next vic- tim to drop a pair of victories to the Jackets. The Jackets took the away game to the score of 48-29 and had little trouble winning the home contest, 50-34. ... At this point the Jackets hit their stiffest opposition as yet. The Alumni squad put up a terrific battle, but were unable to keep up with the fast pace set by the varsity. . . . Femdale won a decisive 58-38 victory over Indiana to open their Tri- County schedule. The second game, which was played on the Indiana court, was again taken by the Jackets to the tune of 49-37. . . . Fem- dale suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Ebensburg. The county seat lads wasted no time in trouncing the Jackets 67-48. The following match was quite different, as the Stingers took a close low-scoring game, 26 to 24. ... A sharp-shooting Altoona quintet took both ends of a double-header from the Jackets. The first game went to the Lions by a close 52-46 count. In the next game, played at Altoona, the Lions downed the Jackets by the lopsided score of 66 to 36. . . . The following series was notched by Johnstown High. The Trojans took the first game on a 50-40 win on the borough floor and in the second game walloped the Stingers on the Somerset Street court, 62-41. . . .

The Jackets skidded through, 46-43, in the first encounter, and then made the Indians bite the dust with a 59-49 win on the borough hardwood. . . . The Black and Gold cagers kept up the good work as they fought with everything they had and a little bit more to get past Westmont's Hilltop- pers twice. The Stingers hadn't put the Grand Slam on the Red and Gray for several years, but the Hilltop cagers found that all good things come to an end. Both scores showed a difference of three points, 49-46 and 43-40. . . . The string of series was broken as the Jackets traveled to Somerset for their only en- counter with the Golden Eagles all year. The Roof-Gardeners threw everything but their uni- forms through the hoop and surprised every- body by coming out on top, 52-42. . . . Fern- dale's hoopsters found the going somewhat easier in two games with Bedford. They put the skids under the Bisons in the first engage- ment and trampled them underfoot, 77-31. In the return match at Bedford, the Stingers walk- ed off with a 53 to 42 triumph, their sixteenth of the season. ... In two meetings with Wind- ber High's Ramblers, the Yellow Jackets split even. They carried the last three quarters of the first game by solid margins to pull away, 47-38. At Windber's Recreation Hall, however, the Ramblers had their shooting eyes. Fern- dale just couldn't quite match the Coaltown- ers' deadly accuracy from the floor, and drop- ped a 64-62 decision. . . . The Stingers also had scheduled a two-game series with Alle- gany of Cumberland. They dropped both frays to the Maryland State Champions: the first, 46-23, and the second, 48-41. . . . Taking on the highly-rated Locomotives of Conemaugh High in a post-season tourney at St. Francis College, Coach Grimm's fighting five threw a scare into the Iron Horses' rooters before bowing out in the last sixty seconds of play. Ferndale held the lead, 47-43, with only a short time remaining, but couldn't control the ball. The Steeds capitalized on last-minute breaks to roar back and take a 49-47 victory.

The little Stingers not only compiled a 20-5 won and lost record, but they also snatched the Tri-County Junior Varsity crown from under Westmont's nose. Our team completed league competition with eleven wins and one loss to win the title for the first time in a good many years. The Jay-Vees got off to a fast start, running over Stonycreek, Richland, and Adams, before losing a five point decision to the Alumni. Again our team triumphed in three successive games, defeating Adams, Indiana, and Ebensburg. The little Stingers then drop- ped a heart-breaking game to Altoona, los- ing by one point in the final minute of play. The Jay-Vees trounced Johnstown by twenty points, slipped past Conemaugh Township by one point, and then edged Westmont by two points in two extra periods, the second being a sudden death period. Our junior varsity was really clicking the night Bedford journeyed here. They garnered fifty-eight points, their highest number of points in any game, to give the little Bisons a thorough lacing. Enjoying a four game winning streak, the little Stingers stretched it to seven with victories over Wind- ber, Ebensburg, and Indiana. The team then traveled to Windber to squeeze by the little Ramblers by a two-point margin in the final half minute. This victory gave the little Sting- ers a league standing of nine wins and no losses. The Jay-Vees went to work on Rich- land and Somerset to bring their winning streak to ten games. Our team then took a twenty-nine point shellacking at the hands of Johnstown, the only team to beat them in the Tri-County junior varsity competition. The lit- tle Stingers clinched at least a tie with West- mont for the junior varsity crown with a three- point decision over the Hilltoppers. They won the crown by overcoming Conemaugh Town- ship. The Jay-Vees defeated Bedford, took a real beating from Altoona, and downed the Junior High to end their regular season. In the South Fork Junior Varsity Tournament, the lit- tle Stingers lost again to Johnstown by nine points. The junior varsity was organized by Mr. Nadrash, and Mr. Marts took over the coaching duties at mid-season. Eighty One THE JUNIOR HIGH SQUAD KNEELING (left to rmht): Noel Beale. Dean Harrison. STANDING: Ronald Gottlieb. Richard Voytko. Harry Gorman. Bob Rager. Robert Polantr. Michael Dutko. Ronald Devine. Richard Weaver. Robert Gaspar. Arthur Larson. Mr. Kohut. The Ferndale junior high team placed fourth in the Greater Johnstown Junior High League this year. Teams in this league con- sist of players from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The main objective of Coach Kohut is to season all players who will be moving up to the junior varsity. The junior high team plays a schedule of eighteen games, including six games with the city junior high school teams. The number of games won and lost doesn't matter as much as the experience gained from each game. The Junior Jackets were able to gamer only four wins during the season, while losing fourteen. In their debut, the junior high lost a close three-point deci- sion to South Fork, which was the only team the Junior Jackets didn't play twice. In their first home game, the juniors were downed by a highly spirited Richland team. Franklin was the first victim of the Junior Jackets, when they lost by fourteen points. Our junior high then took a thirty-three point lacing from South- mont. Franklin again fell victim of the Junior Jackets, this time by twenty-eight points. Joe Johns, the city junior high school league cham- pions, ran wild, scoring a twenty-two point win over the Junior Jackets. Our boys lost three more games to Richland. Cochran, and Joe Johns, before beating Conemaugh. The Junior Jackets revenged an earlier defeat at the hands of Southmont by giving the latter a fourteen-point trouncing. Our junior high then took a twenty-one point defeat from Westmont, the Greater Johnstown Junior High champions. The Junior Jackets lost four more games to Garfield, Cochran, Conemaugh, and West- mont. In the final away game, the Junior Jac- kets lost again to Garfield. In a nip-and-tuck battle, the Junior Jackets kept pace with the junior varsity for three quarters, before being nosed out in the final stanza.

Although they narrowly missed winning the championship, the 1949 baseball squad made a very fine showing. That they closed the sea- son in second place in the league does not tell the whole story. The Jackets were able to beat every team they played at least once, and most of the teams were defeated twice. The only teams to beat Ferndale were Indiana and Southmont. Ferndale opened its regular season by handing Westmont an 8-1 setback on the Hill- toppers' field. Later in the season the Jackets again beat Westmont on an 8-0 shut-out. . . . On their home field Ferndale suffered defeat at the hands of Indiana to the tune of a 10-3 score. The Jackets later evened up the series by dumping the Indians on their home dia- mond, 8 to 4. . . . Ferndale next met Richland in a non-league match. Here the Jackets an- nexed two more victories, winning the first game 10-5, and tripping Richland 9-6 in the second game. . . . Ferndale won an easy 10-0 victory over Southmont on the F. H. S. dia- mond in a game in which Southmont failed to get a single hit. In the return game at South- mont, the Tigers halted Ferndale's winning streak by handing the Jackets a 7-4 setback. . . . Johnstown High was the next victim of the Stingers. The Trojans were able to push across home plate but a single run in two contests. The Jackets took the first game by a 4-1 score, and downed the Trojans on a 3-0 shut-out in the final league game. . . . Ferndale wound up the season with another non-league game at Adams, where with little trouble they de- feated the Hornets, 7-3. Eighty Five TRACK KNEELING: Steve Friedman.

Although they never had a full squad to enter in all events at any meet, they took advantage of what they had to the fullest extent. The big meet was the District 6 Championship, where the Jackets walked away with the Class-B trophy. Previously our track team split up and entered two meets on the same day. In the Cambria County Meet, the Jackets came in second, while the remaining members of the squad earned third place in the Tri-County Track Meet held the same afternoon. Howard comes in first! GOLF LEFT TO RIGHT: Bill Altemus. Bill Brrndrl. Sieve Friedman. Steve Marcinko. Bill Slavik. Mr. Kohut. The Ferndale golf team added another stroke of victory on the Jackets' sports score- board. Having but a limited number of teams with whom to compete, Ferndale's ball swat- ters made a clean sweep of three matches. They took a pair of victories from Ebensburg High's golf team, and the third from a highly regarded Junior Pitt team. The Jackets on their home course trounced Ebensburg 14-1 and slipped by Junior Pitt 8-7. Ferndale then trav- eled to Ebensburg to play on the county seat course. Here the match was closer than the first, but the three Bills and two Steves con- trolled a 10-5 victory.
