THE YEAR BOOK OF CENTRAL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ▼ JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA DEDICATION THIS YEAR HOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO TIIE STUDENTS ANI) FACULTY OF JOHNSTOWN CENTRAL HICH SCHOOL CONTENTS THE THEME THE STAFF THE ADMINISTRATION THE SENIORS THE CLASSES THE CLUBS THE MUSIC THE ATHLETICS THE SHOPS THE DRAMATICS THE HUMOR THE ADVERTISEMENTS JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL I ve been here now for two whole years, And in that time, my life, my thoughts Have centered about these halls and rooms. My joys and sorrows have had meaning in this building, Haunted by the ghosts of other seniors Who have gone. I know now what my graduation means— Severing most of the ties I held so dear. And I shall be sorry to leave. Johnstown High will be always in my heart. And I shall leave part of myself behind. When I go. Betty Loder THE MAIN ENTRANCE THOUGHTS ON OUR AUDITORIUM Have you ever walked into our auditorium when it was completely void of human beings except you yourself? 1 did and chose a seat as near the center of the auditorium as possible. Here was perfect peace and quiet, a peace so still that it could move even the most hard-hearted person and a quietness so great that it seemed the loudest sound on earth. A perfect place to think —do you say? Of what did I think? I thought of all the boys and girls who had sat in this auditorium before our own class; of the many programs prepared espe- cially for them; of the number of diplomas given to the eager ones who had completed their studies. Of course. I also thought of all the young boys and girls who would in the future sit in our auditorium and enjoy programs, who finally would leave the school of their youth better prepared for their future lives, lives that might be lived a long distance from our auditorium. Such were my thoughts. Mary Grace Harrison s ft cS AUDITORIUM-SEATING CAPACITY 1300 s n S WHAT HIGH SCHOOL HAS DONE FOR ME High school's contributions to society are innumerable and entirely praiseworthy. Perhaps its greatest benefit to the public is the multitude of educated, socialized young men and women that it sends forth each year. The boy or girl who wants to make something of himself or herself finds op- portunities in high school. I. myself, wish to specialize in one phase of pro- fessional work, and I have so desired for a number of years. The high school has afforded me all the primary possibilities of achieving my aim. Besides, because of its many varied subjects. I have been able to absorb some material other than the professional material required, both interesting and enter- taining. The social studies and the various clubs of the school have helped to so- cialize me. A problem which faces every graduate is not only a problem of what kind of a position he is going to secure after graduation, or how he is going to secure it: but also just how the girl or boy is going to fit into his community: or if he goes to college, in the college group. To return to my discussion of the benefits one can secure from society, I have in mind the help which the high school has given to young people in the past in reference to this problem. These young people went into high school with only a vague idea as to what problems they were to encounter upon their leaving high school. Now. upon the verge of departing from the high school, they have firmly established in their minds the fundamental principles of education plus the knowledge of how to benefit themselves most in society. When I first decided what 1 wanted to make my career after gradua- tion in junior high school. I had quite a different idea from what I now be- lieve will firmly lay the foundation for my vocation. But by the time the second semester of the first year of high school had ended, I had completely changed my mind. With the aid of the Guidance Department. I was able to decide exactly what I wanted to do after I left school. Then from the sub- jects offered. 1 first chose those essential to my future course of action and added from a wide variety of other subjects a few more of interest and en- tertainment. Now I know that no unfortunate retaking of any material will be necessary for me before I enter college. It is my opinion that though I am not fitted to give an opinion of the Johnstown High School, there are many other able graduates, who will be glad to join me in bestowing the highest form of praise upon the school. Two factors, the faculty and the students, make and have made the high school what it is. Jack Benford PART OP CAFETERIA-TABLES FOR FIVE HUNDRED NOianv ‘eJhe Art Editor ......

It marks the place from where you will go on to a higher institution of learn- ing or into the other avenues of life and work. You have been looking for- ward to this time with a great deal of enthusiasm. And now. since it is a reality, you may be faced with the problem of what to do next. This is a real problem. I trust that you can successfully find the solution for your in- dividual problem. I congratulate you upon having achieved the goal of your ambition. Courage, persistence, and vision have been required on your part to make possible this achievement. Be sure that you do not lose these attributes be- cause of a lack of use. Go on and do greater things in life which may re- flect honor upon the High School that today graduates you. I wish you success. Many pleasant memories of the pupils of the class of 1938 will remain with me. The enjoyable times we have had together will leave thoughts for reminiscence in the future. May these be kindled by the succsses which vou make of your lives in the future. Continue to maintain your vision for the worth while services of life. J. ERNEST WAGNER.

Perhaps we forget just what our teachers means to us as we go along day by day: but. as we look back, we can begin to appreciate them. Our teachers have dedicated their lives to serve humanity. They have spent many years in preDaration for their contribution to the world. Our teachers have sacrificed their personal happiness to a qreat extent so that they might help us in preparation for life. They have the deeper satis- faction of knowing that in their hands lies our future and that thev can watch and help us develop. We often do not realize what patience and faith our teachers must have. Many of us would have shirked in our duties if they had not kept us from doing so. They have been our sympathetic and under- standing friends and counsellors in time of need. Have we realized that manv of our high ideals and ambitions which we have we owe to our teachers? Perhaps some teacher has inspired us to help others as they do. They are not only our instructors, guides in the preparation for our future work: but also our friends. We students often forget that our teachers are just as human as we are, but still we know that out of the classroom they are individuals who often help us to enjoy our leisure time. Our teachers are representatives of life of which we know nothinq or little. They realize what we must go through and prepare us. Best of all. we are thankful that our teachers help us to think for ourselves. We shall be better prepared for our future if we can do this. We learn in school much knowledge which will be useless unless we use our ability to apply that knowledge. It is our aim to become the men and women of the world of whom our teachers will be proud. We shall think of them always as bearing the torch of knowledge which lights the pathway of the future. May we in turn carry on the torch they have intrusted to our care? Marjory Stewart S % s STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, sponsored by Mr. Raymond Morgan, is composed of members elected by the home rooms. Each home room may elect one repre- sentative and one alternate, who substitutes, when necessary, for the repre- sentative. A good representative, cither a junior or a senior possesses quali- ties of leadership, has plenty of vitality, and does at least fair school work The officers elected this year to help the Council through its active pro- grams were John Richards, president: Charles Hipp and Jane Hager, vice- presidents; Ethel Kring, secretary: and Donald Moran, treasurer. The meetings, held during activity period Tuesday mornings, were very interesting. Problems and activities which seem to contribute something to our school were discussed. Banners were awarded each report period to the home room excelling in scholarship and attendance. Home room proqrams, dealing with scholastic and social problems of students were outlined for the members who were urged to present them in home rooms. Printed and dis- tributed to members were bulletins to be posted in home rooms on current school problms. A contact committee looked aftr the school needs of those who are unable to attend school for a week or more; it also sent bereavement cards when a student's parent died. For the convenience of students, street car tokens were sold each morning, under the direction of the Council treasurer. Enthusiastic members each year conduct a clean-up campaign too. Stu- dent interest reaches a new high in the Popularity Contests. The most popu- lar boy and girl, the best looking boy and girl, the boy and girl possessing the most pleasing smile, and the brightest boy and girl are chosen. A conference of all the Student Councils of other schools in Johnstown and surrounding districts was a new project worked out this year. Dancing in the Gym each Thursday noon for five cents a person was sponsored, the proceeds being given for the purchase of a new flag. oafi ott ct tobct 2 M SS TOMB S own 422 □ -□ ilit OJ MACT OTT CT 322 MS Ml 'J OTT Cf 403 £Jke Se SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .....

Miller College ELEGY TO THE STUDENT DEAD To you who have passed away so soon. To you who shall feed no more on earthly substances. To you who shall no more endure the pain and joy of living. To you who have perhaps entered the sweet Elysium. To you we here address sacred words of remembrance.— But memories of such a young death Must of necessity be bitter:— Yea. memories bitter and at once mournfully sweet. We who are alive realize how futile are the efforts To express our solemn sympathy; Yet what know we of the awful Mystery Death overshadows? We perplexedly shake our heads and despair. In silence we meditate And try to find some answer for the unsolvable Mystery. We ponder:—you know! Arthur George Karpen 0 % s s M cS BIOGRAPHY OF A TYPICAL HIGH SCHOOL BOY Amid flourishing hopes of a future presidency and the usual arguments over whether his name should be John. James, or William, our typical high school boy was born. His father was a fairly well-to-do business man, and he had a sister and a brother who sometimes was a problem. From the ages of one to three, he was an angel—at least, most of the time. His only bad habits were an amazing affinity for eating soap and a liking for noise — the more, the better. From the ages of three to six. he never could get his ears clean and increased the family laundry a great deal by manufacturing mud pies in the alley. His most important day in this stage was the day. when, carrying a big red apple and looking very proud in his new suit, he set off for school for the first time. Our hero then passed through the usual stage of skinned knees and marble playing. He was a great problem to his mother. His pockets were continually full of junk, everything from stones to fish hooks, and occa- sionally he came home with a black eye from fighting or from playing foot- ball or baseball with the gang. His own particular despair was his cowlick —it just wouldn’t stay down. The most important occasion in this phase of his life was the day he wore his first pair of long trousers. Then came an important day indeed—his first in junior high school. At first, he was scared. Being a boy, however, he didn't let anyone know it. Finally he got used to the school and began to think it was fine except for the homework. In his studies, he was just average. About the ninth grade, he began to notice the blonde with the pretty blue eyes (or the bru- nette with the pretty brown ones) and from then on. girls were a permanent fixture and a permanent problem in his life. Then came the long awaited day, sad but full of anticipation, when he was graduated from junior high school. So he came to Johnstown High, a bit awed at entering that building which he had been dreaming about for so long. But soon that feeling passed, and he grew to love it. He made many new friendships, both with teachers and pupils, and renewed old ones. The high spots of his life in high school were several—his first football game, where he was firmly convinced that his voice helped immeasurably to bring a victory to Johnstown High; his first dance when he took the blonde with the pretty blue eyes: and there was the never-to-be-forgotten thrill of his first initiation into a club of Johnstown High. Every six weeks came another high spot — report card days. This biography had to end with graduation. Betty Loder THE BIOGRAPHY OF A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Cheerful, happy, gay and free. That’s the way she likes to be; Not a worry, not a care Lively, sportive, always fair. A baby girl opened her eyes for the first time in Indiana County, on May 5. 1921. But six months later, she beamed on Johnstown, and since then has reminded the district of Moxham of her presence by her outstanding grades and popularity attained in her school life. The first four years of primary schooling she spent in the parochial schools: but from then on. she has been a member of the public schools. She was graduated from Cochran with high honors and was the secretary of her class. During the summer vacation, after her first school term at senior high school, she ambitiously attended Rowe Business School. The following semester she continued her study in the college course at Johns- town High. Her ambition is to become a Specialized Nurse. The training in the commercial field will help her in this profession. In spite of her ambitions, she always finds time for pleasure and re- creation. Since sports of all kinds are her delight, she belongs to many such organizations. The Girls Pep Club boasts of having her for its president, and she is an active member of many more student activities. Her cheerful laughter can also be heard as she contributes to the gayety of almost all our social functions. Being secretary of her class seems to be her hobby, for the class of 1938 has also elected her to this office. So once more her personality and work- manship have made her a leader. Emma Shiber A SENIOR S NIGHT LIFE Some philosopher has said. Yours is the world and all that s in it, and on this basis does a Johnstown High School Senior spend his few leisure evening hours. First of all there are basketball games which are so enlivening to any senior and so imbued with that unfathomable something called school spirit. Or he may dance the hours away to the melodic strains of a jazzy band, finally arriving home in the wee hours of the morning and sleepily deciding that school may be dispensed with the following day. Some have been known to travel to the North Fork Dam to view the shining waters and to discuss the beauty of that picturesque moonlit setting. Naturally an eve- ning like this is terminated by a visit to Alwine's. there to sample the delect- able dishes. Many evening hours are spent in the numerous cinema houses viewing the masculine appeal of Robert Taylor or the ludicrous contortions of the Ritz Brothers. Last of all. a conscientious senior may spend his hours in the pursuit of knowledge in the form of English, algebra, chemistry, or history. Such is the night life of a senior. R. Hockensmith £ n S 3 n S AN EVENING OUT Let’s spend an evening with Miss Johnstown High School, Cleopatra, and Mr. Johnstown High School. Anthony. This evening Cleopatra and Anthony are going to a Pep Club dance, to be held in the high school gym- nasium. The music for this popular semi-annual affair, is to be furnished by George Hipp’s nationally famous swing band. Anthony, after parking his Ford V8, which the family so graciously consented to give him for the evening, in front of Cleopatra's home, glances at his watch. It is 8:15 P. M. “A few minutes early. he thinks: so he straightens his tie. smoothes his hair, and then approaches the house. His knock is answered by Cleopatra’s father, who invites him to come in. Anthony greets Mother, who is sitting on the divan reading, and she in- forms the young man that Cleopatra is not quite ready. Mother then de- cides to go upstairs to see whether she can help her daughter, who seems to be having a hard time to get this one hair to lie right and to erase that one wrinkle. Five minutes pass, which seem like five hours to Anthony. Then Cleopatra appears. Anthony is sure, when he rises to greet her. that she, the girl of his dreams will be the most beautiful girl at the dance, in her full-skirted white gown edged in gold. Cleopatra and Anthony, now. after being properly cautioned to be careful and to get home early, arrive at the dance. The lighting is soft, the decorations are pale blue and white in nautical style, and the orchestra, playing the first dance number of the evening, is encouraging the couples to dance. Several times, during this first number, Anthony has been asked to exchange dances: each time this occurs, there is much fussing and bustling around for pencils, but it is all such fun! Before long, the entire program is filled, much to Cleopatra’s delight. Anthony and Cleopatra are among the graceful dancers: but. while waltzing around the floor, remark about several forlorn-looking couples. The girl of this sort of couple usually appears to be sick or sleepy, hanging on the boy's neck, and he must drag her about. After the sixth dance, a short intermission is given, and the dancers gather in groups to talk and relax. Following intermission, the Big Apple is danced. When the dance is over. Alwine's. the old gathering place, is visited by Cleopatra. Anthony, and their friends. Each one orders a bit to eat, and the boys are hoping that a chicken dinner will not be milady's choice. Cleopatra decides to have a toasted cheese sandwich and hot chocolate, while Anthony orders a ham sandwich and chocolate milk shake. These, needless to say. are greatly enjoyed. The bill much to Anthony’s relief is only forty-five cents, not bad at all. Merriment and laughter slowly cease as the group prepares to leave for home. Cleapatra and Anthony, who are in this group, leave also. Arriving at the girl’s home. Anthony accompanies Cleopatra to the door, bids her good night, and thus ends a perfect evening out. Olga Link THEN AND NOW By Then” I mean the time, some twenty or thirty years ago when our parents were attending high school. By Now I mean the present, the year of our Lord. 1938. when we are in high school. What has happened to school life between Then and Now? Is our school life very different from that of our parents? By means of a magic potion, let us become invisible observers of Then. Here we are on the steps of the high school building. But this does not look like our dear building with its sentinel towers! No. it is the build- ing which now is the Joseph Johns Junior High School Building and which then was the high school of our parents. The students arrive, most of them by foot, with some strange excite- ment stirring them. There is a buzz of conversation. One girl asks another. Are you prepared for your debate against the Emerson Society team? Certainly. I'm going to do all 1 can to help our dear old Emerson win. too. sturdily replies the second girl. Hmm — I wonder what that debate is about. Let’s creep into the chapel room. Be quiet now. maybe we can hear it. It seems that this debate is an annual affair. Today, the subject is entering the Great War. After much heated argu- ment. the negative side, that of the Emerson Society, wins the controversy by a very small margin. Be quick! Come out, for they are leaving chapel and are going to their classes. Let us come back this evening because I overheard something that makes me think there is excitement on hand. Oh! it is night, and a dark blue curtain of darkness covers all. How- ever. from the windows of the high school, lights are twinkling brightly, welcoming us into their circles. Others are being welcomed, too, for it is the night of the annual Junior-Senior Dance. What a big moment for these students! Every girl and boy is dressed in his or her best bib and tucker. Many of the boys are having their big moments when they proudly arrive in their automobiles. Happy are the girls who come with those having auto- mobiles! In a brightly lighted gym. the couples waltz the hours away. Let us travel back to our own high school days, the Now. Standing on the steps of our high school building, we admire its spaciousness. The stu- dents flock to it by the hundreds from far and near. Those from afar very often arrive by automobile or street car. Son and daughter alike beg Dad for the automobile to drive to school. Within the school there are many activities. The clubs range from honor societies to Pep Clubs and Swimming Clubs. The band, orchestra, glee club, and sports are other activities. In the class room many changes have come about. Visual education by movies is in use. Many new subjects are taught. The pupils of Now are not satisfied with one dance a year, but all of the school organizations have several dances a year. Dancing itself is livelier than the old-fashioned waltz. Yes. much has happened to school life, and it has changed greatly since Then. Betty Berkstresser % cS A FEW PREDICTIONS s n cS We shall imitate the seers, Write for you your real careers.

With a voice that thrills just like a finch, Jane Holsinger's name in lights is a cinch. A time will come when all will see, Martha Louther. a Shakespeare will be. When you are sick as sick can be. In Marian Lipko. a nurse you’ll see. Amelia Zdelar with her twinkling feet. Fame and fortune in dancing will meet. Margaret Clifton a high stepping miss. Will in the future teach Ancient His. Florence Luther, is certain to be, A buyer of clothes for both you and me. To make the girls happy is Max's delight. So we make him a life-guard to help in their plight. A second Cornell, so clearly we see. Our Adeline an actress’ll be. A lady calls, ’ Doctor, oh come and be quick. Our Bill Otrosina can do the health trick. Johnny Richards so small is quite hard to see. But to judge by his mouth, a statesman he’ll be. Mary Zaiac is able with fiddle and bow. We may prophesy her in a musical show. As for Norma’s future, we have rightly planned, A housewife full helpful at someone's command. On scrapping he's so often set. George Geiser as referee is our bet. French and Spanish—Bob Shahade takes. A bright linguist this surely makes. For athletes Viv Tomb’s heart does pine. We see a new water boy on the Yale line. And so we have written for amusement's sake. But surely now our lives are at stake. So Dot and “Cliff” must now take flight. We’re safe no more in anyone’s sight.

GIRL Irene Fellman September 7. 1937 Dear Diary: Well. well, well, the beginning of school! How I hate the thought of leaving that perfectly divine vacation behind me. So far. though, school is pretty good. It was good to see my old pals again. My schedule is prac- tically perfect, giving'me enough time to get my homework done without taking too many books home. This will be my hardest year cause I have all solids, but I'll try to stick it out. Dora October 1, 1937 Dear Diary: I'm tired this evening. It was such a long day. Loads doing in school. Joined three clubs today—the Foreign Language Club, the Library Staff, so maybe I'll know where to find books from now on. and the Literary Staff of The Spectator.” I like to scribble. These clubs look like fun. Dora November 21. 1937 Dearest Diary: Whee: I am thrilled! Today I had my pictures taken, and I just can t wait to see the proofs. Such a good-looking photographer was there! I'm sure my pictures will come out with my prettiest smile. They fix us with drapes for the Spectator. Since I’m one of those chickens with a scrawny neck, they put my drape up close around it. It seems so long until the photos will be ready. These pictures are important. I've got to send one to each of my dear, dear relatives, and one picture goes to Bob—who is tops with me now. Those pictures just must come out right. Dee December 15. 1937 My dear Diary: I am pleased to inform you that today our lesson included an advanced lesson in the most versatile of languages which I shall not name. Because my knowledge of the lesson was deficient. I was reproved. My comprehen- sion of the situation is such that from henceforth I intend to accomplish dili- gently. all that is placed before me. Don’t get scared. This really is your own little Dumb Dora March 3. 1938 Dearest Diary: Bad news today. 1 have two weeks detention to do for that hookey playing yesterday. Oh, woe! woe! Now Mums won t let me go to that party this week. Shall 1 ever get over it? Yours. Broken-hearted (As they say in Advice to the Lovelorn ) P. S. There was one spot of cheer, though. My school ring came, and it was even lovelier than I had expected. D. D. April 21. 1938 Dearest Diary: Tonight is the big prom. I've just a few seconds to scribble in here before I leave for the dance. My first formal—can you imagine it? But shush, don’t tell anyone that it’s only my first. Bob will soon be here. I hope his dad didn’t change his mind about letting him have the car tonight. Here’s Bob now. looking the duckiest of ducks in a tux!” Won’t I feel good walking in there with him? We really do make a cute couple. Don’t you think so? Love, Dee May 2. 1938 Dearest Diary: Class play try-outs today! What a thrill! All the gals turned out for it. You really would have laughed. Diary, dear, to see big Ruthie Jones trying out for the part of the delicate heroine. The scene we read for try- outs is an emotional one too. When Ruthie read that part in her basso- profundo voice. I just couldn't keep the giggles back. How many tears these try-outs cause! But girls will be girls. Confidentially, if you promise not to tell anyone. I’ll let you in on a secret. I’m in line for one of the parts! Not the big part, of course, but one just as good. Love, Dora (Juliet to you) June 4, 1938 Dearest Diary: The great day has arrived at last, the last day of school. You should have seen all the tears from kids who said they couldn’t wait to be out. Everyone went around with long faces. I confess that I did shed a few tears myself, but that’s because I’m naturally soft-hearted. Really, though, it hurts to think you won’t be going back anymore. (Pardon me. while I go for a hanky.) Bye-bye. I’m going out into the cruel, cruel world, and I’m going to miss you! Your own Dora BONERS From Social Problems: Daniel Roper was the first explorer who went to the North Pole. The Postmaster General is Benjamin Franklin. The Tom Thumb was built by Tom Thumb. Polyclitus was a beautiful building on the Acropolis. SILENCE A noisy rabble filled the room And feet were stamping on the floor. But all was quiet as the tomb Before the teacher reached the door! Philip Reitz ACTUAL CONVERSATIONS OVERHEARD Gloria Meyers— Bob Heider wants to see me tonight after school. Dorothy Miller— Mr. Todd wants to see me. Mr. Lockner— James, how many times can a decedant (a dead person) change his will?” James Hartland— As many times as he likes.” ODE TO OUR SCHOOL One common memory will you impart To us who ever will keep you in heart; One sacred bond will you in splendor weave About the saddened hearts that softly grieve To leave, perhaps forever, your confines. But in the wake of our departure shines Another richer flush upon your brow,— A luminescent beauty, all aglow. Which brightens both the noble mountain-side And Stonycreek’s gray stream in banks so wide. With hushed steps we leave your corridors: With hidden tears we close your exit doors; And as we sadly breathe “Adieu, adieu!” Despondent thoughts surge swiftly, solemnly through The inner network of our mournful minds. We muse: “Alas! it is a rude awak'ning From our callow dreams; indeed, one finds The hopeful essence of his nature breaking Into bitter fragments of despair.” May work bring us success full rare. Arthur George Karpen GOOD-BYE, J. H. S. “In the valley of the mountains. stands dear old Johnstown High School, the building we have learned to love and be proud of. which has sheltered us through two of the most tender years of our lives. Never shall we forget the friendships we have made in high school, the good times we have had. the helpfulness of the faculty, nor the knowledge we have acquired. But now. it is with heavy hearts and tear-stained faces that we. the members of the Class of 1938. say good-bye to this beautiful building, this kindly faculty, and our high school life. May we never cease to be grate- ful for all you have done for us, dear J. H.S..as we go through life. Good-bye! Betty Oldham Ohe Classes DAY DREAMING “All right, everybody, eyes on your copy. Start writing. That is the teacher's voice, sharp and clear. Then comes the sudden rush of type- writers clicking, carriages banging, and apparently, deep concentration on copy and typewriter. But no—with careful observation, one can see a little girl whose eyes are not clear and animated with keen concentration. Her eyes are dimmed by limitless, unchecked day dreams—dreams of her future. Perhaps she pictures herself in a large, successful, business office, typing rapidly on a noiseless typewriter from notes that are faultless: taking rapid dictation with great ease on her part. She sees herself the personification of THE PERFECT STENOGRAPHER. Not to spoil the picture, she also pictures herself seated next to A PERFECT EMPLOYER. In between shorthand notes, she enjoys taking side glances at this handsome boss of hers, the ideal Robert Taylor type, a stenographer s dream come true! Or perhaps her imagination carries her into the position of personal secretary. She sees herself nervously seated in the president s office, poised with pencil and pad. Then, horror of horrors, that severe-looking old man who supposedly is her employer, commences to dictate. He begins to dic- tate so fast that she lets the rest of her vision fade away. Perhaps, again, she pictures herself as an office clerk on her first day of employment. She is determined, however, that she shall not be an office clerk all her business career. Her determination and efficiency elevate her to higher positions until she has reached the pinnacle of a successful busi- ness woman s career. She sees herself as the smartly-dressed business execu- tive. her fame far-reaching, her advice eagerly sought! A bell rings, the teacher's voice pierces her imaginations, and she is once again only an ordinary high school girl doing her best to become a suc- cessful stenographer some day. Mary Vasko WORKING Typing away on my L. C. Smith “In regard to this matter, we refer — And in my mind, forming a myth Of myself as the perfect stenographer. (This position, it seems, is not my lot For the mythical person resembles me not!) Exerting myself to the limit Making notes Mr. Gregg's never seen. Trying to write a hundred a minute. And again that vision comes creeping in! (Perhaps this position 1 could fill. But who'd read those notes, if I were ill!) Mary Vasko s n S THE ACQUITTAL Act I Scene I — A court room in the month of June. Judge: Order in the court. We shall now hear the charges. Court Clerk: The subjects. American History. Chemistry. English, Geometry. Ancient History. Physiology. Problems of Democracy. Physics. Short- hand. Typing.

Clerk: Will English please take the stand? Defense Attorney: Of what benefit is English, the Mother Tongue, to the average student?

I also teach him to know and appreciate the great writings of poets, authors, and dramatists, which form the liter- ature of the world. In addition through literature, he gains high ideals. Judge: Would the Prosecuting Attorney like to cross examine the witness? Prosecuting Attorney: How does English help a person in following his pro- fession?

Then breakfast I’ll pass Without taking a share. And I enter class. With a minute to spare. Bernadine Conn $ n S 3 % cS THE SORROWS OF A YOUNG WRITER Words! Words! and more words! There are many words in my so- called vocabulary; and yet when I want to put them together in a consecutive and orderly arrangement in good English, they simply refuse to obey and to behave as well-trained words should. Now what? 1 scratch my head, chew my pencil; and if I am lucky enough to have found my fountain pen for my literary labors, I dabble a little ink over my fingers and sometimes even on my clean scarf on the table! Horrors! Then with great deliberation. I choose another sheet of paper which seems to be crying out for some work of genius to cover its spotless face: but all to no avail. Words come, but not the right ones to be coaxed and shaped into an interesting story or theme worthy of my eager thoughts. For, strange to say, when I just sit and dream sweet visions, beautiful thoughts come to me: and when I see happy children at play. I want to record their playful antics and their gay mimicry. But my enemies as a writer seem to be the pencil and paper because when I pick up these tools of my trade, my beautiful ideas become paper. Perhaps I am too young to try to be an author, but I can't think that is my trouble because I look at Louisa May Alcott. who wrote stories and plays when she was only fourteen years of age. My older friends regard me with just a tinge of superiority in their manner and assure me that I need exper- ience before I can hope to write well. But I'm afraid that by the time I have had some of that necesary experience. I’ll be too old to lay claim to the title to which I aspire, a young writer. I fain would write of far lands lovely and romantic, of beautiful women and brave men. My parents and my teachers say, No.’ I cannot believe, however, that I'll always be saying, Why can't 1 be original and clear-cut in my writing? Must I always be a third-rate writer, a wretched imitator of the best? That will not always be my fate. Oh dear, such are the sorrows of a young writer, but you can see that they are lightened by a bit of cheer. I cannot sit in the ashes and cry as did the fairy tale princess, but will pick myself up and try to write about things I know and understand best as my parents and teachers advise. Louise Lindberg THREE SPIRITS Often men have pondered furtively of running riot with themselves; but better sense intrudes and guides the madcap notion along the path of right. They are seized with hypochondria at other miserable times: and then a happy spirit quickens them to life with suddenness and zest. But the normal state is in the mean, when filled with content: for then the man appreciates the beauty that is life, its majesty, its awe. Arthur George Karpen THE SKY The sky intrigues me. By day the clouds drift by In a maze of azure blue. Twilight brings a darker curtain Through the stars steal out To take their bow. Betty Berkstresser LUCKY STAR Perhaps not now but the chances are That we shall find our lucky star. Don Wentzel Thwarted Ambition I struck up a conversation with the negro Who was sweeping the rubbish in the store. We started with the weather; That led to dialects, the South, cotton fields. And finally, hunting. He told me of an Indian who sold trinkets In a department store. This Indian has a boy. who has A muscle in his back. And he is so strong he can pull a bow That no two men can pull. He says he has killed deer at fifty yards, And he hopes to kill bear this year. This Indian makes the jewelry himself. And travels around selling it. When he has sold it all. he follows The fruit crops, and makes good money. That is what I would do If I wasn’t married. And if I was a little younger. I’m sure I'd do it.” Herbert Bogen Three Self-Portraits by Rembrandt In a book, reproduced in simple. Austere black and white. I found three self-portraits by Rembrandt. Even without his colorful, fiery, mysterious Shadows There was life. In the first he was young and proud. But his eyes were clouded, they held no light. In the next he was an old man. And the shape of his skull was revealed. His face was like beaten clay. Plastered on bone. Instead of eyes there were two Unfathomed depths of bottomless Shadows. But in the last. Painted three years before his death. His eyes are clear, and his gaze is straight. You can imagine the color— A rich brown — And lurking in their liquid depths— What is it? Herbert Bogen BLACK VOW I shall not walk the road my fathers did, Contented merely with the crumb of life. But staunch as Pharoah built the pyramid. I'll wrestle with the skies in constant strife, So shall my nobler self be rooted firm In culture's concrete base. My aim shall be (Though I may struggle like the lowly worm) To drink the nectar of the gods full free. Nor shall oppression rear his horny head. Nor will 1 laugh at it and let it pass. Nay, I will fight it till it's harmless, dead. And leave it there a gory, inert mass. Then like victorious warriors home at last. Triumphal cadences shall fill my breast. My armor from my weary shoulders cast. I’ll only then give in to sleep and rest. John Shaw DREAMING The teacher called his name in vain, But his mind was lost in another lane Where no one works and need not go To school each day and use his brain. Philip Reitz n S SONNET TO A SPRING In a ferny hollow, edged with vines, a spring Will flow eternally. From it will run A crystal nectar. Freshening it will bring To all that quaff, relief from burning sun. The tang of mints that crushed delicious grow Delights the farmer's sturdy water-boy. The pungent cress that dwells a bit below To the farmer's thrifty wife and cook brings joy. The lowered hats of grateful men it cools. In intermission from their work they go. With heads erect, with eyes like woodland pools Revived by rain, the men return to mow. Oasis, like an understanding friend, A stimulation cool will always lend. Ellen Mae Lackey SUNSET As I looked out of a window Up to a dismal sky, 1 was taken by surprise. It changed before my eye. Where once there was only mist. There was now a bright warm red: And even as I looked, it grew To strips of purple instead. Patterns came into view. And shapes transformed at will. The sky seemed all in motion, And then again it was still. Life's like a dismal sky. Nor do all feel the sting. There’s joy and faith and fear. But life’s a beautiful thing!

During all those years, it has been outstanding in successful campaigns. The organization stands for the highest ideals and uses every effort to inculcate these in the minds of the students. Its aims are to promote a high standard of conduct, both in school and out. to stimulate scholarship and to arouse in the students of Johnstown High a feeling of good sportsmanship and an unswerving loyalty to the school, with a full-hearted support of all worthy movements. Owing to the size of the Booster Klub, it must be divided into two divi- sions—a senior division and a junior division. Each division will have its own officers. A co-ordination will be gained by the election of an executive committee, appointed by the two sections which will have control of the activities of the entire Klub. At the end of the year, the juniors will auto- matically pass into the senior group. It is felt that this arrangement will af- ford the organization a wider range of activities and give a more effective support to the administration of the school and its various activities. At the time this article was written, two big events were being planned. One is a dance, with an excellent orchestra, door prizes, and an especially arranged floor. A Booster Klub picnic at Idlewild Park was also anticipated in the latter part of the semester. The unbounded energy, good fellowship, and good sportsmanship of the club's sponsor. Mr. Lockner. has done much to make the Booster Klub the splendid organization it is today. Betty Loder 3 ft s n S GIRLS PEP CLUB The original purpose of the Girls’ Pep Club was to arouse enthusiasm, to create good sportsmanship, and to encourage a large attendance at all games. To help in the cheering each year, two of the members of the club are elected as cheer leaders. This year they were Martha Luther and Louise Lindberg. High-spirited initiative and joy in doing those things which make for the happiness of the students of our school in a social way. is another aim of the club. Dances, picnic, and parties to celebrate the holidays are the usual social functions for the year. This year the girls have sponsored a roller skating party at Faith’s Grove and a Snowman Dance in the gym- nasium of the high school. To become a member, the aplicant must be voted in by those already in the club. Each new member must have a Big Sister. who is responsible for her during the course of an initiation, which is held a few weeks after the election. M iss Gerhardt and Miss Glosser are thesponsors. The officers are Olga Link, president; Doris Georg, vice-president: Louise Lindberg. secretary: Jane Garrity. treasurer. The members are Janice Bates. Olga Link. Jeanne Bissonette. Norma Overdorff.

At the Monday morning meetings, the girls are instructed in the Dewey Decimal System which enables them to find material in any library. Instruction also concerns books and reference material. Programs about books and their authors are planned for alternate meetings. One of the chief aim of the Staff is to promote friendship. This aim is achieved by social affairs of which the Monday evening teas are a special feature. The spirit of friendship and cooperation that is developed will be a valuable asset to each girl after her high school days.

Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian living. Membership in the club is limited to boys of outstanding character and scholarship. On account of the large number of boys desiring membership, the club was divided into the Beta or Junior Hi-Y and the Alpha or Senior Hi-Y Club. The Alpha Hi-Y Club meets every Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. building. Many interesting and instructive speakers have addressed the club members. Discussions are also held. Parties, dances, and meetings with the Girl Reserves and other Hi-Y Clubs are some of the social functions of this year's club. The officers of the Alpha Hi-Y Club are president. Harold Strayer: vice-president. Jack Gard; secretary, Charles Symons: treasurer. George Geiser: chaplain. Fred Frank. There were two club sponsors—Mr. Kunkle and Mr. Theis. AVIATION CLUB The Aviation Club is one of the squadrons of the Pittsburgh Junior Bird- men of America. Its aim is to further one's knowledge of aviation and interest in the construction of model airplanes. At the present time, there are twenty-two active members, five being girls, who have shown great skill and interest in aviation. The meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of each month, after school hours. Part of the meeting is devoted to business and the remainder to the construction of model airplanes. Because of the fact that there is no workshop, the chemical laboratory is used. The interest of the club is focused on an annual contest, held among the members. The contest is to test the endurance, speed, and workmanship of each member's model airplane. Ted Just, is the president, and William Bent, is the secretary. Mr. Mc- Hugh. a chemistry instructor, is the sponsor of the club. Clifford O'Palka s s THE GIRLS’ RIFLE CLUB The Girls' Rifle Club, consisting of forty members, has as its aim the pro- motion of better understanding of fire-arms and their use. To achieve this objective, fortnightly meetings and shoots are planned. The girls practice rifle shooting to perfect their aim. and receive awards for perfect records in shooting. Prone shooting is predominant. The members are ably instructed under the sponsorship of Mr. Snow. Girls’ Rifle Club members—President. Jane Holsinger: vice-president. Kay Gerhardt; secretary.

Betty Berkstresser s ft s AUTO MECHANICS Among the most practicable and the most popular of the various courses offered to the students of the Industrial Department is the course in Auto Mechanics. This course is taught in Cochran Junior High School under the deft and capable instruction of Mr. C. E. Thomas. However, since the facili- ties of the shop are rather limited, the number of students is restricted to such a number that each will be afforded satisfactory individual instruction and also receive the greatest possible benefit. The students are first taught the sundry parts of an automobile, their purpose, and their action; later they are instructed in the repair of defective parts and mechanisms. A quizz is usually given after the completion of a certain amount of study and instruction. The students receive a considerable amount of valuable experienced by actual repair of damaged automobiles or parts. These automobiles are contributed by the owners who. by buying the necessary parts for replacement, are not charged anything for the work done. It can readily be seen what value there is in such a system and what experience the students derive from the work. The shop itself is well-equipped, containing most of the necessary tools. The instructor. Mr. C. E. Thomas, asserts that both his morning and his afternoon classes rank with the best that he has taught in former years. He added that most of the students enrolled in his course are deeply inter- ested in their work. This fact enables them to learn more satisfactorily with better results. Among the students enrolled in the course at Cochran are the following seniors: George Bates. Boyd Custer. Thomas Davies. Charles Davis. Peter Greene. Walter Hileman. Frank Jurinsky. Mike Katensky. William Kuntz, Home Layman, John Musulin. Samuel Rametta. William Ressler, Maurice Rorabaugh. Stanley Sadel. John Sanna. Don Shearman. Roland Spicher, Grenn Strayer. Richard Walsh. Richard Yingling. BOYS’ PEP CLUB The Boys' Pep Club is one of the largest boys' organization in the Johnstown High School. The main purpose of this club is to promote more interest in the school’s activities, especially in sports. Another purpose is to arouse the enthusiasm of the ex-members and present members of the club. The boys in this club have shown enthusiasm at the football and basket- ball games. From this club several boys are chosen to act as school cheer leaders. Usually a junior is selected so that he may carry on the cheering the fol- lowing year. Boys are voted into this club by senior members, and a selected number is chosen each year. The one thing senior members look forward to is the gala day of initiation. Among other interests of this club is the annual bon- fire, usually held before some outstanding football game. The club also has charge of painting and decorating the streets for football games. This year the Boys' Pep Club held a dance in the high school gymnasium, which proved to be a successs. Miss Modes is the sponsor. The following are officers: president. Bill Wiegand. vice-president. Robert Farrell; secre- tary, Owen Murray: and treasurer, Robert Meyer. 3 n S THE '38 CLUB The '38 club was organized to aid the school in every way possible, with special emphasis placed on receptions after basketball games. Four very successful receptions have been held this year. Next year the club will consist of thirty-nine members chosen from the present junior class. They will carry on similar work. The faculty advisers are Harry Erehart and Ralph Sharpe. Bob Meyer is the president: Herman Wilhelm, the vice-president: Donald Probert. the secretary; and Donald Bassett, the treasurer. The other members are Richard Baker, Urban Beas. Harold Chadwick. Don Conrad. Edward Conway. Bill Creager. Duane Custer. Don Dittmar. Wilbert Edmund. Bob Farrell. Fred Frank, Jack Gard. Walter Hartnett. Frank Kopriva. Charles Koontz. Maurice Kring. Don L. Miller. Don Moran. Owen Murray. Bob Raab. John Richards. Harold Robinson. Charles Shannon. George Slick. Harold Strayer. Thomas Sunseri, Mike Venet. Robert Weisbrodt. Don Wetzel. Bill Wiegand. Irvin Wilhelm. Dwight Wilkins. Karl Wuensch. and Herbert Zahoranski. THE BLUE AND BLACK Founded in 1926 under the direction of Mrs. Myrtle Rowdebush. then an English teacher in Central High School. The Blue and Black still con- tinues to be one of the most active organizations in the school. Since 1931. columns of news have been published in The Johnstown Tribune” bi-weekly as The Blue and Black.” In addition the staff has been publishing two spe- cial editions each year since 1934. The Scribbler. which was the title of both editions this year, has also achieved considerable success. In 1936 the staff received its charter as a member of the Quill and Scroll Club, an international honorary society for high school students. Most of the pupils who are in the journalism class have been accepted into this asso- ciation. membership being judged on traits of character, scholarship, and journalistic ability. The Blue and Black has a triple function. In addition to acquainting the general public with the activities in school clubs and in class rooms, it has served as a test course for the students who are inter- ested in journalism as a possible profession, and it has helped to create a better undertanding and appreciation of newspapers. The staff is composed of students—the executive staff, reporters, and typists who are directed by their sponsor. Miss Katharine A. Milhoff, faculty adviser. The officers are Marion Bennett. Editor-in-chief: Mary E. Learish. Associate Editor; Elizabeth Fehse. News Editor: Betty Mae Stoyanoff. Copy Editor: and John Edwards. Business Editor. THE FINE ARTS CLUB The Fine Arts Club has been a recent addition to the extra-curricular subjects of our high school. It was organized in 1936. and at that time had fifty charter members. Despite the fact that it is one of the schools young- est clubs, it has grown both in popularity and membership. At the present time, the club has a roll of approximately sixty members. The qualification for membership is talent in a theatrical phase: such as. dramatics, dancing, singing, playing a musical instrument, or ability in the art of drawing, painting, and sketching. Its quick stride to popularity may be partly attributed to its excellent per- formances in many of the school's weekly assembly programs. Not only does the club provide recreation for the entire student body, but it also presents yearly performances before the general public. These performances are directed by members of the club with the excellent coopera- tion of the teachers. The proceeds from these productions are contributed to some worthy school cause. This year a musical comedy. Stardust Revue.' was presented. The money earned from this revue was added to the pro- ceeds of 1937 and was all used to finance the buying and installing of a new Cyclorama Curtain for the stage of the auditorium. To compensate the members for their work, some form of social function is provided. These functions are generally dances which are held in the school gymnasium. The officers of the Fine Arts Club for this year are as follows: presi- dent. Thomas Knox; vice-president. Helen Griffith: secretary. Betty Rolling; and treasurer. June Hack. The sponsors are Mr. Rubis and Mr. Boyer. 3 n S BETA HI-Y CLUB The Beta Hi-Y Club has held, during the past school year, two dances which were very successful. All of the members have enjoyed the talks of the speakers who visited them at their meetings which were held once a week. Some of the topics of the speeches were Boy and Girl Relationship. Peace, and Books. Mr. Theis is the sponsor, Robert Carleston is the president: Byron Custer, the vice-president: David Reese, the secretary: Frank Palmer, the treasurer, and Paul Margreta, the chaplain. $ n S THE GIRL RESERVES CLUB The Girl Reserves Club has the distinction of being the largest girls club in Johnstown High School. Its membership is approximately one hun- dred seventy-five. Miss Abbie Dunford is the sponsor. Marie Suhaycek is the president: Nancy Schade. vice-president: Jane Hager, secretary: Mary Lois Taylor, treasurer: and Ethel Kring. Y. W. C. A. representative. The code of the Girl Reserve is As a Girl Reserve. I will try to face life squarely and to find and give the best. I will try to be — Gracious in manner. Impartial in judgment. Ready for service. Loyal to friends. Reach- ing toward the best. Earnest in purpose. Seeing the beautiful. Eager for knowledge. Reverent to God. Victorious over self. Ever dependable. Sincere at all times. A weiner roast, the first activity of the club was held at Stackhouse Park. The next even was a Can Dance at which the admission was one can of food. Contributions were presented to charitable organizations in the city. Next came a skating party at Faith’s Grove. This was a big success. A Valentine Dance was held in the gymnasium, with Howard Becker's or- chestra furnishing the music. A joint Hi-Y and Girl Reserve Conference and Banquet was also an outstanding affair. The excellent cooperation of the girls has helped greatly in making all the social activities successful. 3 n c5 THE SWIMMING CLUB The Girls' Swimming Club was formed this year for the purpose of holding swims at the Y. They have sponsored a skating party, and included in their activities, there was a beach party at the Y. W. C. A. As a closing function, they plan a weiner roast at Stackhouse Park. Their spon- sor is Miss Rutledge.

MECHANICAL DRAWING CLUB The Mechanical Drawing Club of Johnstown High School was organized in December, 1934. under Mr. Harry Klahre. It is believed to be the only club in Johnstown to be affiliated with the national organization, Future Craftsmen of America. Its objectives are many and worthwhile. It strives to further the acquisition of skill in that particular line, to foster better re- lationships between teacher and pupil, to create more interest in drafting, to place their skill and facilities at the disposal of the school, and to contribute to the social life of their members. Its main accomplishment this year has been the purchase of valuable equipment for the Mechanical Drawing Departmnt. The present members are President. Joe Grabenstein; vice-president. Charles Smith; secretary. Francis Smith: Arthur Bittman. Wallace Butler, George Colletta, Frank Demmer. Marshall Griffith. Bryan Hughes. William McCutcheon. Michael Prezochy. Ronald Rummel. Stanford Smith, Harry Wilson, and Ed Zvalo. T. K. E. CLUB The letters. T. K. E„ stand for Greek words, which when translated means We seek the beautiful.” This club is made up of twenty girls who are chosen by the members of the faculty for their outstanding scholastic ability, leadership, and personality. It is the aim of this club to visit places of interest and educational value. The girls this year visited the exhibit of the Allied Artists of Johnstown and attended the Little Theater production. Dulcy.” The high light of the year, however, is a trip to Pittsburgh to visit the Carnegie School of Technology. Carnegie Library, and the Institute of Learning. Miss Moiles is the adviser. Ann Klinglehoffer is the president, Mary E. Learish, vice-president; Bronwen Cooper, secretary: Ethel Kring. social secre- tary; and Marjory Stewart, treasurer. The members are Mary Aaron.

Marjorie Stewart, Betty Stoyanoff, and Mary Lois Taylor. s n S NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY For three years the Touchstone Chapter of the National Honor Society has been serving Johnstown High School. The symbol of this chapter is the torch of learning. There are four cardinal aims: the development of character, promotion of the capacity for leadership, stimulation of the desire for higher scholarship, and the ability to serve. The members of the society are seniors who have a high scholastic record. In addition to scholarship, they must possess leadership and character. The names of eligible students are voted upon by the faculty. Those receiving the highest number of votes are invited to join the chapter. Miss Saylor is the sponsor. One of the annual events, which is eagerly anticipated is the banquet. This year it was held at Alwine’s Privadine. Reverend Sheets was the guest speaker. A scroll with the names of the members is to be kept permanently. The members of the chapter this year were first to sign the scroll. They did so at the formal induction services. January 19. The members are Landon Lambert, president: Allen Strehler. vice- president: Ellen Mae Lackey, secretary: Kathryn Barron, Jack Benford. Marion Bennett. Betty Berkstresser. James Carr. Lillian Curry. John Edwards. Nellie Fautsch, Doris Georg. Adeline Hallow. Helen Herbs. Richard Hocken- smith, Jane Holsinger. Janet Horner. Melvina Kraft, Mary E. Learish. Olga Link, Dorothy McDowell.

Not all the members of this club belong to the band or orchestra and not all of them play musical instruments. At their meetings, the members dis- cuss music in general and study the lines of famous composers. Every other week a program is planned in which different talented members of the club take part. The club also has a few social gatherings. Jack Benford. is the president; Harry Berkebile. vice-president; Pearl Stevens, secretary; and John Shaw, treasurer. The members of the club are as follows: Jack Benford. Marion Bennett. Harry Berkebile. Jeanne Bissonnette. Barbara Bowman. William Cashaw. Margaret Clifton, Josephine Coco. Marjorie Colliver. Rosemary Curry. Dorothy Davis. Irene Davis. Julia Dedio. Robert Drum. Vernon Mae Ehron. Geraldine Edmonds. John Edwards, Nelly Fautsch. Marion Foster. Mildred Griffith. Mary Grace Harrison.

Mary Gretchen Thomas, Jack Vaughan. Mildred Wisor. Dorothy Zimmerman. THE BAND The band is one of the most important of the extra-curricular activities in Johnstown High School. Its season opened on the first day of the school year. Immediately rehearsals for the football season began. Pupils devoted two nights a week and several activity periods in order that Johnstown High School might have a drill band of which they could be proud. We could almost say that the band is as important as the football team. Nothing can give more pep to a game than the band with their rousing marches. The eighty-piece drill band has a very good reputation as we all know. Their drills are difficult and complex. Not only did the band play at our football games but also for the pro- fessional games held in Johnstown. They were chosen to play at the State Championship Game between Windber and Steelton. Other events on the schedule indicate that the band is just as much a community band as a high school band. They have played at several bridge dedications and marched in the Hallowe’en and Christmas parades. During the basketball season, a selected group is chosen to play at the games. The band which is composed of approximately one hundred members is divided into several groups to play at different games. From this account it would seem that the Johnstown High School Band is noted only for drilling and not for concert work. On the contrary, the band is considered very good in the concert field. Chapel programs often feature the band. There are also public concerts. This year, on April the eighth, the band presented a concert with Captain Don Kimmel of Berlin. Pennsylvania, as Guest Couductor. Captain Don Kimmell is quite well known in this district and is respected by all who have worked with him. The band was fortunate in having him as guest conductor. Besides the good work of the band as a whole, there is much individual talent represented. Each year several pupils are selected to play in the All-Western Band and the All-State High School Band. The district band was held at Windber: and the All-State, at Jersey Shore. Very few of us realize that Mr. Aikey. the conductor of this organ- ization. is President of the Pennsylvania School Music Association. This is a responsible and difficult position to fill. Mr. Aikey is well qualified and has performed his duties well. The band is very proud to have the President of the P. S. M. A. as their conductor. s n S J. H. S. BAND Now that my days have come to a close in dear old Johnstown High. I can dwell upon many sweet memories that I have gained from it. One of the sweetest will be that of the J. H. S. Band. For four long years I had been waiting to enter the Band. At last my long cherished hopes were to be fulfilled, and 1 had been graduated from junior high and was ready to enter J. H. S. I was told by those who had gone before me that the best way to be introduced into J. H. S. Band was to attend summer band practices. These were held three times a week, every Monday. Wednesday, and Friday mornings. At first I was afraid to go. I kept putting it off. Finally, one day I decided I would go and face the music. After taking my time climbing up the steps to the audion. I breathed deeply, grasped my clarinet close to me and bravely entered. As soon as I sat down. I shyly glanced around. I saw some I knew, but they were talking to other girls, and so I stayed right where I was. Then a boy came up to me and inquired about my name, and what I played. I told him. but I couldn't imagine why he would want to know. We were called up to take our seats. This same boy motioned to me and told me where to sit. I supposed that he was the student director. Imagine my surprise to find that this young look- ing man was none other than the director. Soon I became acquainted and began to feel at ease. The music was new and difficult, but I managed to hit a note now and then. That was the day I made my triumphant entrance into J. H. S. Band. The summer days rolled on, and soon school would start. When school did start. I could hardly wait for the first rehearsal. Mr. Aikey gave us tests to take for our positions. The next thing on the program was preparing for football games. Drill was to be twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday evening. I was not afraid of drill, for I had belonged to a drill band in junior high. We were all in the gym at seven-thirty sharp for the first drill. Drill was not as simple as I imagined it to be. First, we were lined up in eight files and about ten ranks. We had to march around the gym in time to the music, and had to learn to keep our distance, guide right, mark time, right face, left face, about face. halt, and obey several more commands given to us by our drum major. I had trouble with the pivot. My left foot would not keep up with my right, and I got mixed up. I even forgot which was my right or left foot. Then we had to remember to have the correct posture with body straight, heels together, feet spread about at an angle of forty-five degrees, the hips in. the chest out. the stomach in, and shoulders back. Finally, after much labor, the best were selected, and our drill band was ready. Getting a uniform was another thrill. Each was given an armful of trousers and told to get a pair to fit. It seemed to me that I tried on every pair of trousers. One was too big. one too small, and still another too long. It was really funny sometimes. I was glad that the jacket and hat were easy to fit. As for my first game, 1 was greatly excited and proud to be in this beautiful blue uniform. Down the street we marched to the beat of the drums. I was not as interested in the game as I should have been, for I was worried about the half. When the time came though, we all performed as we had been drilled to do. I was trembling as I came off the field, but I was happy. The trips on the train were interesting. 1 was very sorry when football season was over. But we were to advance to greater things—Concert Band. Here one obtains a deep appreciation of good music. We played such beautiful se- lections as: Finlandia. Ballet Music from Faust. Slavonic Rhapsody. Deep Purple, and many more. Still another attraction was the fact that each member of the Band was given a chance to try out for an All-Western and an All-State Band. A cer- tain number of students were taken from each school. I was fortunate enough to attend an All-Western, and I can say that it is organizations that one can be proud of attending. Many of our members are given scholarships and go on to greater things. The experience in the J. H. S. Band inspires them. My senior year was even more exciting. One receives more responsi- bilities. feels more important, and strives to accomplish more. Our Band is one organization with much cooperation. It is like a big united family. We have our social gatherings and many of the friendships are everlasting. I know that when I am out of school and stand as a spectator along the sides and watch our Band marching up the street, my heart will sing, but my eyes will fill with tears. I shall be sorry that I could not have lingered longer in that glorious Band. Norma Overdorff £ Di s s n S THE CHORUS The Mixed Chorus of the Johnstown High School, which numbers this year one hundred and eight members, was signally honored with an invita- tion to give a program ol songs for the annual convention of the Pennsylvania State School Director's Association in Harrisburg on February 2. Because of the enthusiasm of the audience of over two thousand, repre- senting between eight hundred and one thousand school districts of Pennsyl- vania. the members were inspired to do their best. The aim of the Chorus, upon accepting the invitation, was not to offer a program for entertainment and diversion only, but also to present an out- standing number of the various types of choral literature from the Mediaeval through the Modern Periods, as an educational project in accordance with the policy of progressive high school choruses throughout the country. When such an ideal is adhered to. the study of our great heritage of choral litera- ture justifies itself in the modern curriculum as much as the study of the worthy contributions of any literature. The songs which were studied and sung and the types which they re- peated are as follows: O Bone Jesu —Palestrina —Sixteenth Century, sacred: Sing We and Chant It — Morley—Sixteenth Century English Madrigal: O Can Ye Sew Cushions?”—Old Scottish Cradle Song, arranged by Granville Bantock: Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes —Old English with Descant, arranged by Thomas Dunhill; Water Boy — American Negro work song, arranged by Gladys Pitcher: A Mexican Serenade —George W. Chadwick — modern American, secular: The Three Kings —Healey Willan. modern Canadian, sacred: Final from The Gondoliers' —Sullivan — Nineteenth century, light opera. The Chorus presented this same program in a concert on January 27, by which means about half the money necessary for the expenses of the Har- risburg trip was earned. Mr. Felix Robert Mendelssohn, distinguished vio- lin-cellist and descendant of the great Mendelssohn family, was the guest artist for this occasion. JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Music is the highest of the arts because at its highest peak, it is like pure mathematics in having no meaning interpretable in words. A Binomial 1 heorem and a Bach Fugue are, in the long run. more important than all the battles of history. Our Johnstown High School Orchestra, conducted by Mr. C. Porter Huntington, helps to produce some of the finest music of the masters. It consists of sixty members, who play because of their love of great music. The orchestra has long been a favorite and is noted for its artistic work. The orchestra s activities have been exceptionally outstanding this year. There was a very large representation of Johnstown High School members in the All Western Orchestra” at Munhall. Pittsburgh, on December 9. 10 and 11. The following eighteen were accepted: Ellen Mae Lackey. Martha Louther. Dolly Custer. Natalie Hollern, Jean Williams. Carmel Coco. James Demos. Donald Dittmar. Allen Geist. Joseph Kowchak, Jonathan Learn, Law- rence Varner. William Gasbarro. Olive Allison. John Tilley. Harold Block. Junior: Harold Robinson, and Robert Drumm. For the “All State Orchestra” at Wellsbon. on March 23. 24. and 25, the following were chosen: Allen Geist. Lawrence Varner. Donald Dittmar. Natalie Hollern. and Carmel Coco. The orchestra has presented three Joint-Orchestra Concerts at Greens- burg, Johnstown and Latrobe also. They were given on December 3. 18. and February 16, and were much applauded. Such works of the masters as Tannhauser” bv Wagner, “Lustspiel Overture by Keler Bella. “The Student Prince by Romberg. Prelude and Fugue in D Minor by Bach, and the “Prelude to Act II of Lohengrin” by Richard Wagner have been presented. Chapel programs have been made more interesting through the work of our orchestra. Individual members, too. have been a success at different so- cial affairs. We, the students of Johnstown Central High School should be proud of the splendid work accomplished by our orchestra under the excel- lent supervision of Mr. Huntington. ■ ■ £Jhe oAthletics A TRIBUTE TO THE ATHLETES Our different athletic organizations have displayed splendid characteris- tics in the respective contests which they have entered. It is fitting, then, that we should, at least in our imagination, present to them some token of appreciation. A gold medal would be suitable since gold signifies pureness. Contrary to rumors that may have been circulated by other teams, our athletes have played honestly and fairly in victory or defeat. If the medal were set with three jewels, properly chosen, it would not only be one of beauty but also of significance. The blue sapphire, the jasper with its many colors, and the transparent olive green chrysolite would produce this effect. The sapphire symbolizes perseverance, a quality necessary to win victory. The jasper is a gem denoting wisdom. Each athlete had to use wisdom in order suc- cessfully to carry out a play. The friendly cooperation which is outstand- ing among Johnstown High School athletes would be represented by the olive green chrysolite. With this imaginary medal, we salute each person who has aided in building and maintaining the high standards of athletic achievements for which Johnstown High School is justly famous. Dorothy McDowell $ n s A TRIBUTE TO THE J. H. S. BASKETBALL TEAM As you high school students sit in your comfortable seats in the gym watching a fast basketball game, you envy the players and say in your heart. Gee. I wish I were on the team.” Do you realize the price our team members must pay to have the honor of wearing the blue and black uniforms? First and foremost, grades must be above the passing mark. All social functions must be avoided: and bed time is 10:00 P. M. All harmful foods must be eliminated from a basketball player's diet: this means no cake, candy, pie. or cigarettes. This is worse than keeping Lent, for Lent lasts only six weeks while training continues for more than fourteen. The season begins the week after Thanksgiving and does not end until March. Three afternoons a week the boys go through a strenuous practice from four till six-thirty. The other two evening are taken up with games. Some of these games are played away from home. It always seems the farther away the opposing team lives, the icier the roads and the colder the nights. The afternoon practice sessions are spent in learning fundamentals: such as. foul shooting, shooting from all angles of the floor, pivoting, dribbling, passing, floor plays, and defense work. It develops stamina to take all the bumps, knocks, and floor burns that accumulate during a season s work. One becomes more alert, watching for all openings for the opposing team to take advantage. Quick thinking, quick action, fair play, skill, alertness, honesty, good humor, and a calm temperament are just a few of the qualities a basket- ball player must possess and develop during a season. Surely the basketball player pays a big price for the honor of repre- senting Johnstown High, but it is a price he is proud to pay. He is glad to take his place among the defenders of the blue and black: and while he puts forth every effort to win the game for his school, if he meets a better team, he fights harder than ever. If victory is not possible, he accepts defeat with his head up. knowing that he has given his best. So Hats off to the Johnstown High Basketball Team of 38! S n S JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM Coaches: William (Foxy) Miller, Head Coach; Harry Erehart, Assistant Coach. The Varsity: Captain. Buster Tanase. Leighten Jordan. Charles Shan non. Make Venet, Fred Boltz, Lee Ellsworth. Lawrence Stofko, Owen Murray. George Slick, Cyril Stoup. and Eddie Sheehan. BASKETBALL This year Johnstown High placed a powerful team on the floor, so far losing but one game, which ties them with Greensburg for first place. This is Johnstown’s first year as a member of the W. P. I. A. L. December 30 Johnstown — 33 Alumni — 31 This game opened the '38 season and displayed a powerful Johnstown quintet, which set a hard pace. January 4 Johnstown —43 Latrobe—21 Johnstown went into its first game as a W. P. I. A. L. member and emerged victorious. Johnstown displayed a fast passing attack. January 7 Johnstown—35 Conncllsville—29 Little more than a point separated the teams up until the end of the third period when Johnstown went on a scoring spree. The pale blue and black then sank three double-deckers in a row. January 11 Johnstown —54 Jeannette —16 Again Johnstown High flaunted its power by defeating a strong Jean- nette quintet. The game was a hard, clean game, both teams playing good basketball. January 14 Johnstown—27 Scottdale—21 A third quarter rally decided the contest in favor of the unbeaten Johnnies, who had chalked up four straight victories in the W. P. I. A. L. Contest. January 18 Johnstown—16 Greensburg took the lead battle while Johnstown dropped Greensburg —32 by defeating Johnstown in a well-fought back into a tie for second place. January 21 Johnstown —29 Norwin —22 Johnstown took undisputed possession of second place by defeating a strong Norwin team. This strengthened our hope of taking first place in Section 9 of the W. P.

FOOTBALL SEASON The Johnstown High School football squad completed another successful season with six victories, two ties, and two defeats. The defeats were at the hands of Burgettstown and Altoona. This season saw clean, hard football with record crowds witnessing the games. The prospects for an even more successful season next year are bright. Johnstown—21 Hurst Township—6 This successful game opened the season for the Johnstown squad. Though Hurst succeeded in scoring, the Johnstown squad outplayed them in every department. Johnstown —40 South Pittsburgh —0 In this game. Johnstown gave South High a thorough shellacking. The Blue and Black registered twelve points in the first quarter, twenty-one in the second, none in the third, and seven in the fourth. Johnstown—13 Braddock —0 The Johnstown gridders received their first test in this game and came through with flying colors. Braddock presented a very formidable foe though they succeeded in gaining only two first downs. This was Johnstown's debut as a member of the class AA of the W. P. I. A. L. Johnstown 0 Jeannette—0 With a driving rainstorm hampering them, both teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Pale Blue and Black far outplayed the Jeannette team, but the rain and a few bad breaks prevented the Johns from crossing the goal line. Johnstown-38 Catholic High-0 Johnstown High made a decisive defense of its city championship by beating Catholic High for the fifth time. With the exception of Catholic High's seventy-seven yard march to Johnstown's four yard mark. Johnstown High walked off with an easy victory. Johnstown—18 Grccnsburg—6 Johnstown renewed rivalries with its old foe. Greensburg. Greensburg succeeded in scoring the first touchdown but was unable to hold its advantage. The Blue and Black boys hit their stride and came up from behind to beat Greensburg with a score of 18 to 6. Johnstown —13 Burgettstown —14 In this game, the Johnnies suffered their first defeat. The Burgettstown squad was underrated: and to prove it, they played a fast, hard game of foot- ball and succeeded in defeating our team. Altoona invaded the Point Stadium and provided one of the most thrilling games ol the season. Both teams played a splendid game, but Altoona held the upper hand. When the final whistle blew, Altoona had registered 19 points to Johnstown’s 7. Johnstown —28 East Pittsburgh—0 The Johns came back after two defeats with a decisive victory over East Pittsburgh. Johnstown scored seven points in the first quarter, fourteen in the second, seven in the third, and none in the fourth. Johnstown—0 Windber—0 Johnstown wound up its season in the Thanksgiving Day game with Windber. The game was played on a very muddy field, a fact which hindered both teams greatly. Fourteen thousand people watched the teams struggle to a 0-0 tie. This attendance was surpassed only by the Altoona attendance, which was sixteen thousand. A FAX PYXAMIP STUNTING DANCM rHfi 6 rfMrAir c CHEER LEADERS The cheer leaders this year have put a great deal of enthusiasm and well-known “pep into their duties. They have had at every game as their slogan the equally well-known Johnstown High School. Win or Lose. They led the student cheering at football games and basketball games, alike on muddy fields, in crowded gyms, to jubilant victory or bitter defeat. They likewise lent their voices to many pep meetings, and chapel af- fairs. etc. When the team made out-of-town trips, the cheer leaders accom- panied them and were most loyal on rain-soaked days when the school's morale needed to be bolstered. But it was not all giving upon their part to their school and to their team, because they participated in many festive occasions on account of their special positions. Besides there was real joy in having something to give to their school in the way of enthusiastic support. Furthermore the two girls received letters and the boys jackets for their services. There was not a head cheer leader this year, but the cheer leaders each had a chance as head cheer leader at each game. The girls were Martha Louther and Louise Lindberg, the boys, John Richards. Fred Frank, Bob McCreary, Thoburn Hauck. James Makin. Joe Hlivko. Landon Lambert, and Dwight Wilkins. Altogether we had a fine group of cheer leaders who gave of their best to J. H. S.

The plumbing shop in our school is fully furnished with the most modern of plumb- ing equipment. As a result, the boys have at their command all the tools necessary with which to work. Before attempting any plumbing, they are trained under the very capable supervision of Mr. Miles, plumbing instructor, in the fundamentals of this work. As every student of plumbing knows, much time, patience, study, and thought are required in order to master these fundamentals. Later in the course, the actual plumbing work is taken up. According to the instructor, the boys take a very keen interest in their work. Since they realize that they have chosen plumbing as thir means of livelihood after leaving school, they are eager to learn as much as they can while in school. It is the most urgent wish of those leaving school at the completion of this term that in future years they can continue the excellent work that has long been a tradition with plumbing students in Johnstown High School. The students who will complete their senior course in plumbing this year are as follows: Wallace Cyburt. Edward Conway, Paul Rizzo. Edward Sheehan. Mike Kizina. Andrew Stetz. Walter Hartnett. Joseph Harevay. Harry Irwin. Ralph Barber. Joseph Vavrek. Marion Amenti, Frank Kopriva. Milford Johnson. Herbert Fisher. Don Wilson. Sylvester Ostrich. Sylvester Tanase. George Ressler, Victor Zlatulovy, Charles Cantania, and Emil Krofina. THE JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB This club was organized in October. 1936. and is affiliated with the National Student Graphic Arts Society,—which is an activity of the National Graphic Arts Education Guild. Any student of the print shop whose grades average “C or better is eligible for membership. The purpose of this club is to stimulate pupils to appreciate and to use the several methods of graphic duplication for personal pleasure and social betterment, to promote printing and allied processes as handicraft or manual arts hobbies. The outstanding activities of the club each year are the observance of National Printing Education Week and the Printers’ Banquet which unites the former and present students of printing. The sponsor of this club is the print shop instructor, Mr. J. B. Coyle. Meetings are held each Thursday morning. The number of student members who have paid dues for the year of 1937-1938 is eighteen. They are en- titled to all the privileges of the club. Four local commercial printers are honorary members. s % c5 PRINT SHOP Left to right (Seated)—Dick Claycomb. secretary: Arthur Kreiger. vice- president: William Leadbeater, president: James Wozniak. treasurer; Joe Lechak, assistant secretary.

Cast of characters in order of appearance: George Preble, Fred Frank; Mad Madison Preble. Marilyn Miller: Westley Cartwright. Harry Berkebile: Bill. Richard Fisher: Celia. Ethel Kring: Emily Madison. Nellie Faust: Jebby Cashier. Bronwen Cooper: Dr. Spender. Landon Lambert: Nurse Martin. Lillian Curry; the girl, Adeline Hallow; Matt. Dominick Genovese: Virgil Benus. William Umbach; Jay, Charles Hancock: Mrs. Cashier. Rose Marie Makin; Mrs. Kanby, Martha Louther. Emily Madison accommodates tourists as roomers in her home on the Boston Post Road. The night Dr. Spender asks that she take in his patient, a young woman who became ill while touring. Emily makes room for the sick girl, the doctor, a nurse, and a chauffeur. A few hours later, the girl is announced the mother of a baby. Dr. Spender thereupon engages the entire Madison Cottage. A week later Emily becomes suddenly conscious of the fact that while there is an infant in her house, there has been no birth. Piecing suspicious circumstances together, she is convinced she is housing a kidnapped child. She maneuvers to get hold of the baby and contact the po- lice before the kidnappers can do anything about it. THE STAR DUST REVUE With the production of the Star Dust Revue, the Fine Arts Club again this year scored a tremendous success. The Star Dust Revue, a musical com- edy in two parts, was presented with elaborate and very colorful costuming. In producing scenic effects, several lighting fixtures were used. Too. the new changeable black and gray curtains added beauty to the revue. The dance numbers were directed by Thomas Knox and Anne Guier, as assistant dance director. Miss Ruth Young directed the dramatic sketches which were entitled: The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter. and Pyramus and Thisbe.” The musical production required extensive effort, the cast, which con- sisted of sixty members, having rehearsed three nights a week, besides the morning practices. Proceeds from the annual Arts Club Revue are given each year for some worthy cause in the school. This year's gift was used in helping purchase a new cyclorama curtain for the stage in the auditorium. Each year the club gives a social function for its eighty members. Thomas Knox is the president; Helen Griffith, vice-president: Betty Rolling, secretary: and June Hack, treasurer. The club has been functioning splendidly for the past two years. £Jhe ‘Humor o O o 3333ra£G 3% £2, LET'S NOT 5IT THIS ONE OUT LAST NIGHT U AS PFP CLUR INJTIATiam STU REAM‘5 SCATTER BOLT SIX 3G£££B CRiSCO rP 0£££B QC3J ££ (3 3 VZJSQM }%£? g KING KONG?
