PUBLISHED BY THE SENIIIH ELASS of .IIIHNSTOWIV IIHill SEHIIIII. JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYU AN IA SCHOOL DAYS THROUGH THE SEASONS The Class of 1944 wishes to express its ap- preciation to Mr. Walter C. Davis, principal of Johnstown Senior High School tor a pleasant and happy two years. His cooperation and willingness to help have made him a personality which we will not forget. Mr. Davis' vision of the future has helped us to make the best of our tool for the future—education. MR. WALTER C. DAVIS It is the school, as the creative expression of the aim of the community, which will some day give a new nucleus to the aimless sprawl of our present conglomera- tions of streets and houses, the school in the small town, the university in the great one. The university and its associated schools should be the loveliest and greatest mass of architecture in every great town. The common school should not be thought of as merely preparing chil- dren for a way of living already defined and settled; it should be thought of as giving a direction to the whole life of the people. —H. G. Wells Miss Tomb says— “Detention —but with a smile MISS JESSIE TOMB To Miss Jessie Tomb, who lor two years has been our ad- visor, censor, and leader, the class ol “44 extends its heart- felt thanks. We appreciate the guidance which we now re- alize is so important to our fu- ture welfare. Hers has been a hard task. Each member of the graduating class pays a per- sonal tribute to the efficiency and courtesy of Miss Tomb. A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. —Henry Brooks Adams Mary D. Glenn Chairman Gladys M. Bantley Jessie E. Canad ENGL I SH DEPARTMENT Elvina Jane Owen One department touching all through the school year is the English Department. Through its teachers we learn to appreciate the gentle beauty of poetry; to understand the conciseness of clear prose; and to write and speak correctly, so that we may gain the necessary confidence essential to an impressive public speaker. A most significant study coming under the supervision of the English Department is Ameri- can and English literature. In the senior year fcX x Alice M. Gocher Helen Lockard Mabel Overdorf Marian G. Varner Elizabeth S. Hoge autumn presents Chaucer; winter, Keats and By- ron; early spring, Shakespeare. By commence- ment time Walt Whitman brings us his magnifi- cent line I Hear America Singing. These are names worth remembering; these men and men like them have left us a heritage in their writings which is ours to appreciate. Each pupil, as he faces the world, must have a sense of values in order to live in the best way possible. Through the study of great men he learns the best that has been thought and said. Clark Shaffer Alice Rutledge Blanche Rogers Carl Waugamah School Nurse PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Girls' and boys' gym classes, under the direction of Alice Rutledge, Clark Shaffer, and Carl Wauga- man are doing much toward the building of sound strong bodies by means of marching drills and body building exercises. Girls, as well as boys, take sin- cere interest in this kind of work because this train- ing proves invaluable to those who intend to enter the service in the near future. Because body and mind must coordinate in a healthy individual, the physical education depart- ment offers the necessary training for a completely healthy person. Johnstown High School has a well- equipped gymnasium to meet the various needs of an interested student. Certainly such preparation, in the way of a com- pulsory physical education program, will aid those who will need strong bodies and minds to face the future. Margaret M. Evans Margaret G. Bowes HISTORY DEPARTMENT Ida Hawman Colbert Varner In the service oI his country He (the Most High) gave to thee (Columbus) the keys of those gates ot the Ocean . . . which were fast closed with such mighty chains. . . . (Dream of Columbus, narrated in his letter to the King and Queen of Spain, 1503.) One should not look upon history in too factual a manner; instead he should look upon it as a story of the past, which will better enable him to understand the development of the world in which he is living. Every day one hears and sees history in the making. Newspaper headlines, radio broadcasts, movies, and lectures bring us last minute news. This is the news that will make up the chapters of our future history books. If ever history was en- acted before our eyes it is now. If history ever demanded our keenest attention it is now. Only by reading history and learning the mis- takes and blunders of other nations in the past, who have passed into the pages of history, will one be able to take part in a better world for all mankind. COM ME R(: fAL l)EPA RTM ENT Shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, commercial law, economics, business English, clerical practice and salesmanship are the subjects making up the cur- riculum of the Commercial Department. Thorough training in these various subjects prepares the stu- dent to apply for various positions in the business world. Many will become stenographers, secre- taries, typists, file clerks, bankers, or sales clerks. Today, more than ever before, there is a need for the trained commercial student. Clarissa Hills Supervisor of Charles E. Boyer Commercial Education Marie E. Culliton A subject aiding in the develop- ment of the personality is sales tech- nique. In this class the correct manner to use in approaching a customer is taught, and realistic demonstrations add to the interest of all concerned. Stress is placed on the necessity of having a well-rounded personality if one wishes to take his place in the business world. Miss Clarissa Hills, head of the commercial department, aids in locat- ing positions for many graduates through the placement service. At the present time many high school graduates are holding important secretarial positions in the commercial world. The demand for efficient workers in the various business fields is daily reaching a greater height. Alma I. Hughes Irene McKinney Albert Rubis Ralph Sharp In the service COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT (Continued) Three very popular faculty members of Johnstown High School's Commercial Depart- ment have been called to the colors. And it is with great pride that we hand them over to Uncle Sam for the duration. Certainly, in every way, they will be a credit to their country. At present two of these gentlemen are in active service, and one is well on his way. The first member to leave this scrupulous department was Mr. Ralph Sharp, who at present holds the rank of Sergeant, and is stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He is located with the clerical staff at this particular army post, and is associated with the medical corps. Hats off to Sergeant Sharp. The following year, February, 1944, Mr. Lemuel Fisher followed and is now stationed at Fort Monmouth, N. J. Mr. Fisher is specializing in being a clerk typist. Three cheers for a very fine former member of our faculty! If you have been anticipating the name of our last member let your ears lend them- selves to the name of Rubis. Better known as Patsy to his more intimate friends, Mr. Rubis has been a member of our faculty since 1936. Since that time he has served as assistant faculty manager, and later well deserved his promotion to full faculty manager. Before coming to the Johnstown High School Mr. Rubis earned a reputation for himself in excelling in both baseball and basketball at Susque- hanna University. When Frank Knox, late Secretary of the United States Navy, signed his com- mission for Lt. (J. G.) we were all more than elated. Mr. Rubis will report to Fort Schuyler, N. Y. for his in- doctrination course May 29. It is with the most sincere wishes that we say So- Long (not good-bye) to a regular fellow. Salute! ! ! Marguerite Hinchman Helen Hinchman HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Whether it be autumn, winter, or spring, food and clothing are subjects vital to us all. This year Miss Helen Hinchman and Miss Marguerite Hinchman, directors of the Home Eco- nomics department of Johnstown High School, carried out a program emphasizing to all the necessity of a knowledge concerning foods and clothing. At the beginning of the year the cooking classes concentrated on the preserving of toma- toes, beans, and fruits then in season. Busy sewing classes, conducted by Miss Helen Hinchman, worked out an economical way to build up their particular wardrobe. At the middle of the year clothes and novelties were made for Christmas gifts. Throughout both semesters the girls were taught the correct and thrifty way to main- tain a household either in war or peacetime. Knowledge in this vein proved most essential, because the war has made changes in every home. An explanation of new methods being used, and an explanation of what may be expected in the post-war home made interesting classes. Mrs. Coulson and Miss Deemer, student teachers from Pennsylvania State College, took their practice work at the Johnstown High School in the Home Economics department. The future draftsmen, mechanics, welders, print- VOCATIONAL ers, carpenters, and electricians who will join in the march to victory with Uncle Sam, will be those trained through the Vocational Department. Those boys taking up one of the numerous trades offered have a half-day training each day. The other half of the day is spent in English, vo- cational mathematics, and science classes. DEPARTMENT Some of the shops are located in the junior high schools, and the entire first floor of our school is composed of shops. All the shops give the boys a knowledge of the type of work they must do when they enter the field of industry. Although the instructors of the Vocational De- partment are not given lime-light recognition, the results of their direction is obvious, as we watch trained boys go into various defense occupations. Acmes B Heary Josephine A. Younc LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Post-War era will bring a need for people who have a knowledge of either French, Spanish, German, Italian or other European languages. If a student has taken advantage of the opportunities offered by the Foreign Language Department, he should be able to speak and write at least one of these important languages. In a language course, one not only learns to speak and translate a foreign tongue, but he be- comes acquainted with details of interest concern- ing that particular country. One division of the course consists of reading Caesar, Cicero, and the Aeneid of Virgil. French pupils read Vic- tor Hugo's Les Miserables plus short French stories and essays. In the Spanish classes, the ad- ventures of Cortez in Mexico are translated, while German and Italian students enjoy the literature belonging to their native land. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT 'T' o k Mim John McHugh Chairman Ellsworth Kunkle In the service at the U. S. Navy Louise Kunkle Sophia Moiles Nettie M. Showers SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Fascinating and mysterious are the new worlds that are opening for us. As the citizens of the Post-War era we shall see wonders not even envisioned by our parents. Perhaps this minute in a great white laboratory a cloudy liquid is being poured into a test tube, a cloudy liquid that spells defeat for our constant enemy, disease. A physicist turns a switch and a complex machine is born. But behind that simple clicking of a switch lie years of study and research, years which seem centuries until suddenly success comes. Then the patient hours of trial and error start again. In high school future scientists learn the basic principles of biology, chemistry, physics, physiology and physiography. Study of theories and practical experiments aid the student in a better understanding of the new era which will follow our troubled times. He will be fitted for this new life where he will walk free of the fear and superstition which the calm methodical hand of science is gradually eliminating. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Ralph Gillma t Ross Benchoff This fast moving world of today continually re- volves around one definite nucleus—mathematics. Every walk of life, whether it be military or civilian, is either directly or indirectly linked with this sub- ject. Many of us may not realize the necessity of mathematics. However, as we enter into the service of our country, or go farther in education or become engaged in the business world, its importance will be realized and a knowledge of it will be a great asset to almost everyone. In Johnstown High School, the mathematics de- partment which includes algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, is directed by Mr. Smith, Mr. Ben- choff and Mr. Gillman. These men present their work in an efficient manner, and as a result boys and girls are prepared to meet various positions in the future. The importance of mathematics cannot be over- stressed because it is playing a major part in the winning of this global war. In the reconstruction which finally will follow the war a knowledge of mathematics will be most essential; it will be a potent factor in the progress of the world of tomorrow. FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Charles I. Aikey Ruth Young Have you ever made a careful observation of the music, dramatic and art departments at Central High? Until one does he cannot fully appreciate the value of the fine arts. Most of us have been seeing a lot of the band at football games and parades. In their trim uniforms, buttons sparkling in the sun, they make a worthwhile interest. Adding color to the musical setting with a fine array of male and female voices is the chorus which performs before many outside audiences. Then, too, we have the orchestra, which plays the processional and recessional for the commencement programs. The Art Department, with its talented young artists, affords great pleasure to many admirers. After watching these organizations at work, one begins to realize the sacrifice and patience required to instruct pupils in these arts. Deserving commendation on their fine work are: Mr. Charles I. Aikey and Miss Mary Weaver, Music department; Miss June Hoffman, Art department and Miss Ruth Young, Dramatics de- partment. June Hoffman The cry of the peanut vendor, echo- ing above the anxious and excited voices of the spectators, heralded the opening of Johnstown High School's 1943 football season. The first game, Glassport— September 11, marked the first in a group of encounters which opened the season for the Trojans. This term found Johnstown High School beginning its season with a new head coach, gym instructor and health teacher for some time here at Senior High. Mr. Shaffer was elected head coach upon Mr. Harold Weigle's accept- ing the position of head coach at Mc- Keesport. Johnstown's Own— and I guess we're not proud of every one of 'em! This season also saw the appointment of a new assistant coach to take the place of one of the two assistants who were inducted into the Navy last season. He is Mr. Carl Wauga- man hailing from Ligonier, who, after maintaining a successful position there for a time, was appointed here as assistant football and basketball coach in addition to assuming duties as gym instructor and health teacher. A new summer training period was set up for this year's squad. Due to the shortage of gasoline this year, the usual two-week training period at Camp Reynolds had to be abandoned, and instead a new plan was adopted. Almost every day during the remaining two weeks of summer vacation, the players went to the Point Stadium in the morning and practiced. Then in the afternoon, after eating their dinner in the High School cafeteria, they returned to the field and resumed practice. In this manner, many of the things they did at camp were simulated here in the city. FOOTBALL GAMES On Saturday night, September 11, Trojan fans saw a preview of what at least half of the coming games were to be like. The encounter featured a rival squad from away back —Glassport High. Wiih both teams balancing each other, fairly equal in strength, the Tro- jans, working under the nervousness of first game excitement, managed to ring up only one touchdown. Glassport did likewise, making the final score 6 to 6. JOHNSTOWN CRUSHES CONEMAUGH TOWNSHIP The following Saturday night saw a Johnstown team, one hundred per cent better in every way, thoroughly whitewash the Indians of Conemaugh Township to the tune of 66 to 6. The hard fighting team from Davidsville managed to score their lone tally in the second quarter and aside from that, they were completely annihilated. Trojan touchdowns were made by Reynolds, who made five; O'Bara and Stiffler, who made two apiece; and Steve Slobozien and Mandroc, who made one apiece. Mandroc kicked five of the extra points and O'Bara one. TIGERS SUBDUE TROJANS After thoroughly trouncing Conemaugh Township the previous week, the valiant-fight- ing Trojans could not budge the brick wall of McKeesport. Try as they could, they were un- able to prevent the more experienced Tigers of their former coach, Duke'' Weigle, from mak- ing the score 13 to 0. It can be said, however, that the Trojans showed plenty of fighting spirit. SECOND SUCCESS FOR TROJANS Still full of the fighting spirit of the last game and even more determined to win, the Trojans thoroughly blitzed a dazed German Township team. The game featured a great deal of passing, forty passes in fact, and although German Township completed more of these aerials and had more first downs than Johnstown, they, nevertheless, were swamped. The final count was 33 to 7. J. H. S. DEFENSE SHATTERED In the first of two encounters with Windber, the Trojans found themselves lacking the fighting spirit so predominant in the previous two games. With their offensive power blasted in all but on instance, the Trojan's defense was overrun by the iron horse that was Windber. The score was 18 to 0, Windber's favor. Hit Hard! — Hard Tackling riRST GAME AWAY SPELLS DEFEAT Thoroughly capitalizing on every break which came their way, the Monessen Grey- hounds managed to edge out the Trojans 19 to 13. Despite the fact that the Trojans were outplayed in the first two quarters, the third quarter saw them regain a little of the old fighting spirit. In the fourth quarter, they really went to town, scoring all thirteen points then. However, the Trojans' vitamins came a little too late. JAYS WHITEWASHED BY TROJANS Galloping through what proved to be a surprisingly weak Jeannette squad, the Tro- jans copped their third win of the season by a score of 34 to 0. The Trojans, however, paid a high price for the win, losing both Mandroc and Reynolds, who were hurt early in the game. A VICTORIOUS MARCH In the first daylight home game, the Trojans easily subdued an outclassed but hard- fighting Boswell team. For the first time, the starting lineup did not include a single senior and during the entire game, only three seniors saw limited service. The Trojans gained a total of 349 yards against only 47 of the opponents, giving a final score of 46 to 0. SWAMPED AGAIN Once more, both the offense and defense of the hard-driving Trojans was shattered by an undefeated Windber team. Try as they could, the Trojans were once again outdone by the Ramblers, the score being 19 to 0. GRID FINALE REGISTERS DEFEAT With the season's curtain falling, Johnstown fans saw a stunned Trojan squad reel back under the impact of eleven battering rams of Redstone. The Black Hawks scored all of their tallies in the first quarter, then let Johnstown take the offense in the early portion of the second quarter. It was then the Trojans made their only touchdown and extra point. This was short-lived, however, as the Redstones retained the offense the remainder of the game, but without scoring. The final results were 13 to 7, in favor of Redstone. CHEERLEADERS You've got it, now keep it. Dog-gone it, don't lose it, Your P-E-P, pep. This is one of the many cheers which greet a fan entering the stadium during one of the football games of the battling Johnstown Hi Trojans. After the person has found himself a seat and has located all his friends and relatives, his attention turns gradually to the field and the ener- getic group of cheerleaders who are leading the crowd in another cheer. Sev- eral people behind him are yelling bois- terously. He stares at them in annoyance. Such a waste of energy! The next cheer finds him slapping his knees in rhythm. At the kickoff, opening the game, he finds himself giving a faint shout. By the end of the first quarter he is yelling whole-heartedly for his team. After the game, he makes it a point to take notice of these artists of perpetual motion who have pleaded for him to yell as heartily and as loudly as the young and ardent football fans. The cheerleaders make a neat appearance as they march down the street in their trim white uniforms. Their corduroy jackets are very attractive in contrast to the darker clothes of bystanders. Could these well-groomed persons make all that noise? Later in the school year he enters the high school gym and is greeted by the cheer- ing spectators of a basketball game. Here he gets a better view of the instigators of all that noise. He notices that there are five new cheerleaders filling the shoes of those who left last year and that a former member is missing. If he had complete information on the squad, he would know that the seniors were “Till Woolcock, Gene Cowles, Peanuts Wil- liams, Marjie Dunmeyer; the juniors, Jackie Roberts, Louise Opperman, Joe DePasquale, Lynn Gale and Frank Kotsalis. The squad has one service star for Pat McGrath, now a member of the United States Army. THE HAND The time has come, Get in file. The band steps out. In great style. Colors in front, Flying high. School and Nation Passing by. Betty Mae Smith '44 Have you ever wondered just what makes the Johnstown High School Band truly great, year after year? In the pit, on the street, or on the field, something is there, urging the students to do their best, and producing one of the best bands in the state. It is SPIRIT—spirit coming from the pride every member feels for the band. It is the spirit that compels members of the Color Guard to hunt for hours for the right kind of a white glove. Through the perfect formations of a complex drill, you can see that spirit —marching with the band, and result- ing in matchless perfection of music, drilling, and showmanship. But when you talk to a band mem- ber is when you really sense that spirit. Joe Member defends his or- ganization with vigor because he is a part of it. In the autumn, do the musicians see falling leaves? NO. They see fall- ing arches and shoe stamps going up in smoke, or rather down in the sod. For the band spends a major part of the fall season down at the Point drill- ing in preparation for football games. Cadets and Cadet-ettes West Point can't beat this! ! Throughout the Winter, rehearsals are held for the annual Spring Concert on April 28. This concert never fails to bring out the best in the Band, whether it be of martial or classical variety. And let us not forget the “Ranger Band, that small intrepid group of members, who must be ready at an instant's notice to rush to the auditorium, grab their instruments, and start play- ing the processional to the tune of rushing feet. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Aikey, who as director has compiled an enviable record in the county. Recognition is given to Walter Leidy, student director; Charles Novak, drum major, and Betty Jean Peterson, librarian. Thirty-two seniors and forty-six juniors, thirty-five girls and forty-six boys comprise this year's band. They hold a record which is a credit to Johnstown High School. 4 merica!

Bassoon Vitamin A, B, C, D GIRLS’ I’Ll CLUB P-E-P, the keyword of the Girls' Pep Club stands for Personality, Energy, and Pertness. Initiation brings suffi- cient proof of this statement. On that day, plenty of vi- tality is needed to meet the demands of this very popu- lar club. Initiates, this year, were required to wear dresses six inches below the knee, tie their hair up in a bandana and wear a scrub-brush on a rope around their neck. Fun was king for a day. Miss Verda Gearhart sponsors the group which be- gan in 1926 with twelve charter members. Approximate- ly seventy-five members come under the leadership of President Marjory Dunmeyer. Other officers are: Vice- President, Nancy Vickroy; Secretary, Alice Williams; Treasurer, Mary Jane Woolcock. The Girls' Pep Club was founded to promote better attendance at athletic events and to form a social group. A by-product of this consti- tution is the friendliness the Club encourages between junior and senior girls. BOYS’ PEP CLUB The Boys' Pep Club of Johnstown High School makes up one of the best cheering sections during the football season. They are always with their team, win or lose. The club co-operates with the cheerleaders in helping the team on to victory. The Pep Club does much to create good sportsmanship among the rival teams. They white-wash streets so as to inspire more interest in the games. Perhaps its members feel that it is their most memorable activity in high school. Memorable because not one of its members will ever forget the paddle brigade that they had to pass through in order to become a member. Then, too, the variety of delicious concoctions that they ate will linger in their memory. A various program of activities was planned each month by the selected monthly committees. The officers for this year were: President, Earl Kifer; Vice-President, Philip Scott; Secretary, Bob O'Shea; Treasurer, Pat McGrath. Mr. Lemuel L. Fisher, is sponsor of the organization. Upon Mr. Fisher's enter- ing the service Mr. Lee Thomas officiated as sponsor of this fine group. This yeur the senior dramatics class gave us something new in the way ol an Education Week Play. Let Me Come Back, a one-act play by Jean M. Byers, carried with it the theme: study while you can, youth of America, for tomorrow you may not get the chance. This message is brought by Michael, a boy who, in the past, had cared little for learning. Then he joined the armed forces and found himself in the hell that was Bataan. He gave his life fighting for that small piece of land. He is given the task of coming back and trying to make the youth of America understand that everything the school does has a purpose in preparing us for the future. Learning a poem or a few famous lines may at sometime bring a reward greater than one ever imagined. Whether Michael succeeds in his task depends on the boys and girls who attend our schools and colleges throughout the country. Yes, the failure or success of Michael's task lies wholly in youths' hands. The student body left the auditorium with something to turn over in their minds. The cast was headed by James Wagner as Michael; with Alice Jean Schnabel as the school-teacher, and Andy Gard, Glenn Stutzman, Mary Jane Woolcock, Joyce Curry, Gertrude Reid, Jim Peat, Bill Gallagher as the pupils in the school room. Miss Ruth Young directed this inspiring and worthwhile play. Really An apple a day, says Woolcock SUBSCRIPTION STAFF The fate of The Spectator depends on its selling staff. Every fresh, inky copy would lie unused, untasted, if the Subscription Staff did not do its part. Each home room has its representative who begs, cajoles, and even threatens customers into buying. On an appointed morning the representative announces the sale. This year pupils were allowed to pay a dollar and a half as first payment, paying the remaining dollar later. Gloria Cotroneo was in charge of the staff which was super- vised by Miss Alice Gocher. TYPING STAFF Ladies and gentlemen, here we have the vertebrae of The Spectator's spinal column, the TYPING STAFF. With- out their help the publication of The Spectator would have been delayed. On their shoulders fell the tedium, strained eyes, broken fingernails, sore thumbs, and the wrath of the almighty editors. The cause of this deplorable situation was the fact that the greater part of our editorial staff have become victims of that dreaded disease, illegible hand- writing, and from the groans emitted from general head- quarters, those articles must have looked like hybrids, a cross between a discourse in Balinese and an optometrist's eye chart. So, if anyone wants to pass out gold medals, don't forget our masters of the keyboards. Masters oi the keyboard EDITORIAL STAFF The three most widely-used expressions in the Editorial Stalf's vocabulary are: Rewrite this article! Reorganize! and Deadline tomorrow! A member of the staff dashes into 419, tosses his article on the desk and sits down, very pleased with himself. Five minutes later he comes staggering out, article in hand, and heads for the nearest drug-store to drown his troubles in the carbonation of a coke. If you can get him to talk, (all he can do for awhile is mutter) you will find out he has been raked over the coals, by those sadistic exponents of tirade, the editors. But the reporter is not to be defeated and soon the revised article appears again. Then jumping from the role of persecutor to that of cow-puncher, the editors ride herd, on the rewritten copy, which is then assembled into the final production—The Spectator. Miss E. Owen, editorial adviser of The Spectator, named Mary Jo Litz- inger, editor-in-chief of the 1944 book. Rash) Flash! ADVERTISING STAFF Anxious students dart in and out of well-known business establishments in hopes of “selling their wares. In this particu- lar case selling their wares means collecting for a full page, half page, or a quarter page of the Johnstown High School Spectator. This scene is reenacted during the autumn and winter months when the Advertising Staff does its work. After the sales- man has convinced his customer that his purchase will be worth- while, the advertiser is requested to make up his copy. If he wishes, the ad may be written for him. Many students find it fun to discover that they can “sell their wares, and with the fun goes the excellent training in learning which approach is best to use in contacting the cus- tomer. Personality and good salesmanship go hand in hand. Our staff had “it. Post-war artists— This year the cover design from a previous Spectator was used because of governmental restrictions on metal. Throughout the year this staff, under the direction of Miss June Hoffman, works tedi- ously in collaboration with the editorial, photography, and business staffs to present to you an attractive yearbook. How about a cheer for the artists! Stand-by! !—Calling all artists! Bring pens, paints, brushes, and pencils. The modeling of The Spectator is about to begin. Re- port to 410 at once. Approximately sixteen mem- bers rush to 410 to develop the plans for the layout of The Spec- tator. The staff begins; every word, every picture, must count in this painstaking work. Art edi- tor, Lillian Blackford, and her as- sistants, Jane Daley and Gwen Stouppe, must decide the amount of type and the size of the pic- tures on each page. Officiating artists are asked to choose the color and design for the cover. ART STAFF PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF Turn this way, please........Now, look pretty .....Here we go..........Click........Thank you! How often did you hear these friendly com- mands this year? With the opening of school, autumn provided a splendid opportunity for the Johnstown Hi cam- era fiends to take snaps of boys and girls loaf- ing away lunch hour, screaming at a football game, or day-dreaming in the Audion. Then came winter—a scurry of snowflakes, a cold wind from the river, and we beheld our he- roes and heroines of the autumn in boots, mittens, and heavy coats. The fluffy piles of snow provided an attractive background for our shots. Mother Nature seemed to be on our side this spring, too, providing the welcome sunshine and warm weather necessary to picture-taking. Al- though it was almost deadline for The Spectator, a few of the Spring activities were snapped and the Photography Staff ALPHA Hl-V With the opening of school, about thirty senior boys took their places as members of the Alpha Hi-Y. The club began its year's activities with Douglas Bruce, president; Dean Kissel, vice-president; Gillian Haddle, secretary; Richard Koop, chaplain; and Mr. Thomas, advisor. By late fall, Hi-Y was engrossed in its program. Every month the YMCA sponsored a party for all the Hi-Y's of Johnstown, and Alpha was well represented. Basketball was a great diversion in which the boys excelled. The annual conference was held at Pitt University. During Spring, the seniors began wind- ing up their year of work. Since many of the boys had left for the service of their coun- try, the remaining members looked back on the good times, the games, the symbols for which Alpha Hi-Y had been a by-word, and the torch was passed on to next year's crop of Seniors. Hi-Y has been more than a club. It is a tribute to the boys, and advisors, through whose efforts, good sportsmanship, good con- duct, and high ideals have been impressed on the members. BETA HI-Y One of the most active clubs in J. H. S. is Beta Hi-Y, the Hi-Y chapter for Junior boys. This year, because of the war. Beta Hi-Y's mem- bers resolved to carry out more strongly the high ideals set forth in their code. The officers chosen to lead them in their work were: Will Brudney, president; Arthur Lynam, vice-president; John Alles- sandro, secretary; Dave Penrod, treasurer; and Arthur Stull, chaplain. They, with the helpful aid of Mr. Shaffer, club advisor, brought the club through a successful year, and left the boys with a desire for even greater activities in their Senior year. Handsome men! LEADERS’ CLUB The Leader's Club is a girls' club organized under the Department of Physical Education. It is sponsored by Miss Rutledge, and its main pur- pose is to assist the teacher in gym-work. The girls in the club help in the gym classes by checking attendance, checking showers, and helping the students who are behind in their work. At their meetings they learn the rules of the various games so that they are able to offi- ciate during class periods. The noon dances are sponsored by this club. The girls also form a basketball team which sometimes plays the pre- liminary before the big game. The officers of the club are Betty C. Evans, president; Betty Mae Smith, vice-president; Hel- ene Callihan, secretary; and Alice Williams, treasurer. One two; one two LIBRARY STAFF In 1925, a Library Club was organized in Johnstown High School, which has since become one of the foremost organizations. The Library Staff pro- motes interest each year in helping students to become Good Book Con- scious. The thirty-two girls who make up the personnel assist the sponsor and school librarian, Miss Elizabeth Hoge, at the desk and are of great as- sistance in the library. During Book Week, the staff presented a unique assembly program and later in the year, entertained its members with a Valentine Tea. The club holds its weekly meeting on Friday, being presided over by these officers: President, Rosemary Civis; Vice-President, Elaine Allen; Secretary, Helen Tarr; Treasurer, Rosemary Gorebar. Chanting their slogan, Read More and Better Books, the girls quietly pursue their work, hoping to teach the entire student body that Books are the backbone of a good education. Through all walks of life certain individuals distinguish themselves because of their strong character. A small organization which demands certain qualifications for membership can aid one in building that character which will make the person outstanding. Such an organization exists in J. H. S. It is the T. K. E„ girls' honor sorority. Their Greek motto, To Kaaron Enomeoa, translated We Seek the Best, is proof that youth is still seeking something in their future, regardless of the present conflict. This year the club sponsored its annual tea-dance in the J. H. S. audion, using the money to provide the Christmas dinner for the children of the Christian Home. Profits from the T. K. E. Musicale, a three-act musical program which the club sponsored in January, were divided between the Christian Home and the U. S. O. center in New York City, New York. A dance was also held later in the year. Miss Sophia M. Moiles, sponsor of the club, was aided by Ruth Brown, president; Ethel lane Naylor, vice-president; Mary Jo Litzinger, corresponding secretary; Margaret Schneider, recording secretary; and Blanche Zion, treasurer, in successfully completing this year's activities. Next fall twenty new girls will assume their responsibilities in making T. K. E. live up to the high standards which have been imbedded in Johnstown High by past members in past years. Brain Storms! NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY One of the highlights of the winter sea- son is the election of students to the Touch- stone Chapter of the National Honor So- ciety. Those who have met the require- ments scholastically and who have proven themselves worthy of leadership are elig- ible for membership. Election to this chap- ter is the highest academic honor that can be bestowed upon any senior. During February, the members planned for their annual activities and elected offi- cers for 1944. At the installation ceremonies, which were held in the assembly March 23, Dorothy Stober, vice-president of the so- ciety of 1943, presented the torch to this year's president, Robert Miller. Each mem- ber, in cap and gown, signed his name on a scroll. The annual banquet at the Capital Hotel, March 27, marked an event for the organization. STUDENT COUNCIL This organization, one of the most democratic within the school, is composed of duly elected representatives of the student body, chosen by their fellow students at the beginning of each term. In Student Council a representative has the privilege of putting into practice the high ideals and purposes, which form an essential part of his training. The extent of the Council's program for the years 1943-1944 term has been held exclusively to the welfare of the student body and its never ceasing obligation to its country. Student Coun- cil is continually reminded of its attitude toward the privileges and responsibilities shared by each member of the group by its motto, Labor Omnia Vincit, which translated means Labor Overcomes All Obstacles. It has learned by experience, research, and study that there is not a problem of controversy, whether it pertains to the whole student body, the Council, or the government, that cannot be solved by labor. On its emblem is the eagle which symbolizes its allegiance and respect toward our great government. The leaders lam session a la carte Boys, pick the one you want—future home-makers of tomorrow “WANTED—FUTURE HOUSEWIVES OF AMERICA This could well be the password of the Home Economics Club of J. H. S. Under the direction of the Misses Hinchman the club organized an interesting and valuable program led by Norine Ream, president; Dorothy Berkheimer, vice-president; Irene Holubz, secretary; and Margaret Crist, treasurer. During December the girls made Christmas tree ornaments of chains, stars, and various other designs, to donate to the military hospitals. Tentative plans have also been made for a skating party. At their monthly meetings, members discussed ways of bettering them- selves in social contacts. Dating” was the topic of one discussion with five invited boys and five members giving their points of view on the ideal date and dating manners. Boys and girls contributing to this forum were Robert Cobaugh, Andy Gard, Charles Krise, Jack Long, Doris McCall, Lois Miller, Gwen Stouppe, and Jack Woy. The purpose of the club is to develop the girls socially as well as intel- lectually; to prepare them for happier and more well-developed lives and to furnish them with the materials for building a better future for America. SCIENCE CLUB Einstein says Science—chemicals, test tubes, bunsen burners! ! ! Science Club offers a boon to the budding scientist, for there he may experiment at will. At the meetings, members exhibit the results of their experimenting. Frequently, gatherings are punctuated by explosions as some new form of gunpowder is demon- strated. Experiments in aeronautics, electricity and chem- icals are often projects which feature Science Club's regular programs which are presided over by Margaret Schneider and Alfred Jeshonik. Rayford Robel served as vice-president the first semester and Ted Golec took the position the second semester. Norine Ream acted as secretary and Nunzio Midile, treasurer. Sponsored by Science Club was a skating party held February 17 and an assembly program. On April 7 the organization was represented at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science convention at York. Science Club also entered several exhibits in the Science and Engi- neering Fair at Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh and in the Science Fair for Johnstown and vicinity held in May. In spite of the loss of many members to the colleges and the armed services, Science Club succeeded in com- pleting a very full year. GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves is the club of the blue triangle which teaches its members to face life squarely and to find and give the best through work and play. The present leaders are: Mary Jane Woolcock, president; Marialyce Dunlevy, secretary; Ethel Sheehan, treasurer; Joyce Curry, Inter-club Council representative; and Mary Kathryn Hill, program chairman. We have also been fortunate this year in having Miss Josephine Young as advisor. In February we elected two junior members to repre- sent our club at the annual Mid-Winter Conference. Prominent among the activities of this group are the monthly get-togethers in the Audion or Gym. What fun it is to take part in the discussions, games and group singing of these meetings! Then, too, our Cotton Hop each Spring is an event in the school year. Certainly it has been a privilege to be a G. R. striving to be: Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeking the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent toward God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times. With classrooms in the Adams Street School, the Sign Shop trains the boys whose names will be in the corner of tomorrow's painted signs. Here, training and experience are combined into a course that fits a boy for the sign painting trade. Inasmuch as a successful sign painter must be equally capable at lettering and paint- ing, these two phases were taken up separately. After learning the characteristics of each type of lettering, the student practices each until proficient at all of them. Then painting is taken up. First, figures and scenes are painted by the tyro sign paint- ers. Finally, lettering and painting are combined, producing among other things the many signs we see around the building. Dance advertisements, basketball posters, scenery for the dramatics department, graphs and charts for teachers, and portraits are some of the displays which are produced under the direction of Mr. Gardner. MECHANICAL DRAWING You can almost hear a pin drop (as the old saying goes) when you enter D. A. West's Mechanical Drawing Shop at High School. The boys, busily at work making blueprints and drawings of all kinds, are preparing for the not too distant future as draftsmen. In the earlier part of the year, they were trained inblueprint reading at which time many blueprints were corrected for mistakes. This proved excellent practice. During the year they prepare many different drawings of ma- chines, machine parts, drills, etc. They took a course in map and compass reading which will prove valuable in the future. Quote Mr. West, The job which the boy is preparing for is of the utmost importance to himself and his country, and this must be kept in mind while training them. With which we agree whole-heartedly! PLUMBING SHOP We have heard a lot about post-war planning; not only are our leaders designing for the future, but our fellow citizens are also drawing up their plans for the future. Many are planning to use the War Bonds, which they are buying now, in financing the homes that they have always wanted. The eventual boom in building will call for a tremendous amount of plumbing. The Johnstown High School Plumbing Shop, under the direction of Mr. Miles, trains the boys of the shop to be the future plumbers of America. These plumbers will play an important part in providing sanitary living conditions in the post-war world of tomorrow. The boys of the shop not only learn plumbing and sanitation, but also the laws governing these fields. At the end of two years' work the boys are awarded the traditional gold faucet. The ambition of everyone of these students is to become a successful plumber. Everyone looks to these future plumbers to make the world of tomorrow a sanitary one. In making the world a better on in which to live, we need the cooperation of every type of worker. The plumbers will not fail to take their place as a cog in the machinery of the world of tomorrow.

THE PLUMBING SHOP HONOR ROLL Here the boys from the Plumbing Shop have listed the names of their friends who are now serving their country in various corners of the world. Each name represents a former member of the Plumbing Shop and each year means an additional number of names are added. And we want them all to return home. PRINT SHOP To the Graphic Arts Department falls the job of setting up, printing, and distributing all publications of high school nature. Ranging from simple one-color, six-point type notices to four-color, seventy-two point type covers, these publications afford the Graphic Art student valuable experience which will help him locate a job, as well as providing the school system with an economical, but thoroughly efficient print shop. As the first phase in their training, boys in the print shop, under the direction of Mr. Coyle, learn to set type, maintain and operate presses, and operate that almost magic type-forming machine—the lintoype. The second step in the training of a potential professional printer is setting-up jobs. There are myriad combinations in the setting up of a “layout but certain set rules are followed. After this comes actual training in manufacturing the countless orders that the print shop gets. A graduate of the J. IT. S. Graphic Art Shop is a graduate with a definite asset. AUTO MECHANICS SHOP The Central High School Auto Mechanic Shop, located at Coch- ran and under the direction of Mr. Thomas, consisted of only four seniors and sixteen juniors this year. This shop is one of the best organized shops in Johnstown. Besides teaching the fundamentals of the trade, it also affords useful experience in many of the ad- vanced techniques used in this branch of shop-work. One senior acts as shop foreman and assigns jobs to the boys. Each day's ses- sion starts at 12:45 and ends at 3:45. Among the jobs done during this time are fender, body, and valve jobs; sanding, paint, and simonize jobs. All of the boys in the shop belong to the Auto Shop Club. They pay dues every week. Their aim was to purchase jackets for each member of the club. The officers of the club were: William Centar, President and Acting Treasurer; Earnest Stortz, Vice-President; and Sam Paneralla, Secretary. •eS 9 Gf � i -ofj 7.W. MACHINE SHOP The hum of the machines, the beat of the hammers, and the shouting of voices above all this racket are all you can hear when entering the Johns- town High Machine Shop. Don't let this mislead you, for the boys are doing more than one imagines. For instance, this year the boys experienced a new type of work, that of making ash trays for the American Red Cross. The trays, made of wood with a metal container, are to be sent to our wounded soldiers, sailors, and marines now convalescing in our base hospitals. While the wood trays were formed on the lathe, a set of dies had to be made to form the metal containers, which were made of salvaged tin, cut to the right size and pressed into shape in the dies. Although this order of three hundred ash trays was but one of the many projects carried on in the machine shop, Mr. Wonders says, Helping to pre- pare the boys for jobs in our defense industries is helping the boys to serve their country through a trade. Do you know what makes an electric light burn? Or how a motor is wired? Or how electric signal systems work? Of course you wouldn t unless you have spent some time in the electric shop. Under the close supervision of Mr. Marks, newcomers learn the funda- mentals of electricity, while the more advanced students gain experience on actual jobs. The boys become acquainted with the intricacies of lighting, power, and signal systems, as well as the wiring, repairing, and testing of motors. Fred Wood, John Kedzuch, John Fecko, and George Teplica from the electric shop operate the moving picture projector; this shop also installs lighting for various dramatic productions and dances. Then, too, the loud-speaker system, used for public speaking classes is set up by the boys from the shop. Thus, a great many students and teachers find the accomplishments of the boys from the electric shop essential in carry- ing out various programs successfully. WOODWORK SHOP The Mill Woodwork Shop, although handicapped by having only five seniors, scored a banner year. The juniors have become adjusted to the scheme of the course, and each ma- chine has been decked with a new coat of paint. Alttendance has been good, indicating an increased interest in the subject. One of the many projects in the shop this year was the making of cabinets for the schools of the city. The boys made a supply cabinet for our Student Council, and a nine-foot supply cupboard was constructed for Cochran. Both of these jobs were completed soon after the beginning of the school year. The doors of the lockers in the boys' gym were made and installed and work was begun on those in the girls' gym. The boys then replaced the wooden counters in the Secre- tary's office with glass-top and glass-side counters. These pro- jects, as well as many others, show the untiring effort put forth by the boys in the Mill Woodwork Shop. Mr. Knerem, their instructor, deserves a salute. Exceptionally fine pieces of work were pro- duced. SHEET METAL SHOP The building of a great air armada, a two-ocean Navy, and the machines which our men use on the battle fronts of this global war have increased the importance of the welding and sheet-metal work. In this enormous program the industries, which are producing ships, planes, tanks, trucks, and jeeps, have witnessed a rapid expansion, which called for thousands of skilled metal workers. Thus, there is an immense number of jobs in this field waiting for those young men who possess the necessary training. Mr. Alter gives the boys of the Johnstown High School Sheet Metal Shop a pre-apprenticeship course in welding. Welding is very closely related to sheet metal work in that it is a quick and efficient method of fabrication. A knowledge of metals and some metallurgy is also required. When men once again turn their thoughts to thoughts of peace, sheet metal work will lose none of its importance. Even now as we are locked in deadly combat with the enemy, men are dreaming of great designs for aeroplanes, automobiles, and ships of peace. Therefore, the training these boys receive now will help them in becoming the builders of a durable peace. Ed prepares for a dribble - T W U - THREE DIVE REAL MOVIES FOR YOU- Jim —on guard Zack means business Sam anticipates— we hold our breath SHD0T-! The line-up BASKETBALL Basketball s popularity is unquestioned. Its advantages are many. The fast action with the uncertainty in scoring, the development of both individual skill and team work, the small number of men needed to make up a team, and the possibility of playing in a small space have had their influence in making basketball a popular sport. Highly developed team play is necessary for a successful winning basketball team. Basketball is a game possessing many skills which are general in nature, such as passing and catching; but there are also many fundamentals, like shoot- ing, foul throwing, and dribbling, which are peculiar to itself. Action in basketball is so fast that a team cannot depend entirely on set plays but must depend mostly on the players playing together for a time so that each player can antici- pate the action of his teammaies. Continuity of movement as a planned style of attack is fundamentally required in playing winning basketball, and a thorough knowledge of the individual skills. Team-work is absolutely essential.

Our side scores S W I M M I N (; In the daily task of learning to live successfully, each and every athletic activity in which one engages helps to develop certain educational attributes. Outstanding in a number of con- tributions that swimming offers is the development of self-re- liance. There are others that are far-reaching in their scope. It takes courage, and gives one confidence when he has over- come such sensations as fear and loss of balance. It offers an in- dividual something to learn that will carry over continually. Once you learn to swim and skills are developed, the individual will seek the joy, exercise, and recreation of the water the rest of his life. Water is the perennial playground. Its appeal is universal. Believing that we need a broadened program of physical activities so that we might be able to reach all the different personalities that exist among students we are trying to organize our first swimming team. The team practiced every day at the Y. M. C. A. preparing to enter the W. P. I. A. L. swimming meet to be held in the spring of the year. District, Regional, and State Championship meets are held every year throughout the state, and we are hoping that Johnstown can produce a state champion and that swimming will become a popular part of our athletic program. Physical Specimen —ultra —ultra eh?? PHYSICAL FITNESS Acrobatics the new way Besides the regular Physical Education classes a physical fitness program is conducted after school for all boys who are interested in their physical welfare. Time allotment has been short of the daily amount necessary for effective results in physical development and the unique techniques. Most boys are very weak in strength and endurance. The arms, shoulders, trunk, and abdom- inal muscles have been neglected most. We expect the program which will include, wrestling, boxing, tumbling, ap- paratus work, rope climbing, wall-pulley weights, and calis- thenics to take care of the de- velopment of the big muscles of the body and eventually lead us into a broadened program of physical education in our school system. Most physical education Parallel Bars Wrestling the modern way— programs in the past have neglected the physical fitness and formal side and developed the recreational aspects. From sound reasonable observation, the future program will have physical fitness permanently added. More for- mal work and measurement of the results is absolutely Brudney gives an exhibit necessary. Track and field athletics are probably more in keep- ing with an Athletics for All program than any other sport. Its events are so numerous and varied that every man should be able to find one suited to his needs and abilities. It is one of the oldest of games and yet is still most widely played. It places responsibility on the individual, yet develops a group spirit. Track athletics emphasize the need for consistent body care. Is Houdini around? Hcmd-staids BOXING is an activity that requires, and consequently will develop, the highest type ol coordination between body and mind. Speed, endurance, grace of movement, mental alertness, and courage are among the contributions which it will make. It develops confidence because of the personal satisfaction and feeling of self-assurance. WRESTLING is one of the oldest and most valuable forms of combative activity and is a popular sport. Those who have had some wrestling are better equipped for service requiring supple and adaptable strength and general physical de- velopment and conditioning. Wrestling is an interesting and natural sport. It contributes to the mental and physical de- velopment of an individual. GYMNASTICS and tumbling have many advantages as forms of exer- cise. They develop neuro-muscular skills that are necessary for proper body control. They are particularly beneficial from a corrective point of view as well as that of development and growth. Boxing Military fashion EXERCISE What exercises must I take to become a sprinter, a jumper, a fullback? What is the best daily exercise program for all-around athletic training or for physical fitness? Athletes keep in condition all the time. Good condition is a state of health and vigor which best supports a successful living program. If you are in condition you can go out, run races, climb mountains, play games and do yourself reasonable credit, and without harm, but if you are in special athletic training for the event, you do better. Daily exercise is part, but only part, of the program of life which keeps you in condition, and it is also part of the athlete's and gymnast's training program. A variety of exercises is recommended. Different exercises are used for different pur- poses, for different parts of the body and to serve several needs. Formal gymnastics offer a form of activity which can be used by almost any person regardless of ability. Anyone who has the interest, will power, and courage, may begin with simpler gymnastic and tumbling movements and by hard work and proper application will progress. Proper learning of fundamentals, and mastering each progressive exercise, along with safety precautions on more difficult exercises, will enable individual to get results. THE CLASS OF '44 As I look back upon past years, This year of forty-four Stands out above all other ones, Perhaps because of war. The pupils in the senior class Are sturdy, strong, and tall Their goal in life is victory. And peace for one and all. Let us go back to when this class Began in forty-two The pupils from all Junior Highs Now had one point of view. Their unity became supreme, As I will tell you now, Examples of this harmony Will echo in renown. Remember how they beat Erie? And also Campbell High? The fans all cheered our heroes on. While opponents cried, Oh, My! Basketball went on just right, The players did their best. The fans all showed up for the games. The team displayed great zest. One day we had a bond assembly. They bought ten jeeps and tanks. The bonds and stamps they bought and sold Sure helped our fighting Yanks. The end of forty-three drew near. The seniors said Good-Bye. They wept and moaned and even groaned As they left dear Johnstown High. And now we have a new senior class. The one this poem is for. This class carried on where the other left off And is finishing the score. Many of its students have gone to war, So the class is very small. But side by side they all will stand To heed their nations call. Though many things they will have to do, Both in the school and out. The work is hard! the task is big, But they will do it without a doubt. So to this class I give this poem. They really are the finest. May God be with them one and all And their reward be highest.

The mystery is— Who are they? JOHN J. POWELL Died Aril 14, 1943 Jack, a line boy and well-liked by his classmates, is not forgotten. It is in his memory that the class oI 1944 here re-prints the immortal lines of Rudyard Kipling. L'ENVOl When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it—lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair. They shall find real saints to draw from—Magdalene, Peter and Paul: They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame: And no one shall work for money and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and, each, in his separate star. Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are! Harry McDowell Clifford Saylor Bill Schneck Darwin Wiegand Steve Sinoleri Felix Ocheske James Boyer Danny Turk Clyde Miller Lester Morre Nick Bondy Joe Sakso Bill Oldham T Harry Irwin lames Sharpe Bob McCreary John Conway Joe John luyer Cycyl Frank Roberts n Johnnie Mangus Donald Bench Ralph Shaffer Bob Fitzpatrick Watson Jensen Harvey Ruth Eugene Petry OFFICERS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS David Penrod Joan Miscoe Naomi Klahre Robert Wiedwald President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Central High Chorus is a Mixed Chorus, consisting of one hundred and thirty members. In spite of the general de- cline of the school enrollment, the Chorus increased in size this year. Miss Weaver stated. Chorus numbers included types from all periods and schools of composition. For example. Miss Weaver chose Tenebrae factae sunt by Palestrina, a number from the polyphonic school of the Italian Renaissance. America, the Giver, a choral fantasy, by Samuel Richards Gaines, was presented with the Symphony orchestra. ORCHESTRA One—two—ready—play! With these familiar words the orchestra season was initiated last fall and the first rehear- sal was well under way. Despite the lack of full instrumentation the orchestra had a membership of twenty-one seniors and nineteen juniors. The personnel includes Catherine Buchovecky, Carmela Messina, Margaret Ocipa, Mary Ocipa, Margaret Schneider, and Virginia Stasik—first violins; Andy Havrilla, Caroline Horner, Mary Pagliaro, and Pauline Paulakos—second violins; Mary Ickes —bass viol; Anita Murray, Nancy Beam, and Janet Thomas—B flat clarinets; Eileen Dun- can—alto clarinet; Betty Jean Peterson—bass clarinet. Jack Bird—oboe; Joan Hockensmith —bassoon; Charles Sanson and Shirley Kauffman—alto saxophones; Pat O'Leary—tenor sax- ophone; Patsy Miller— baritone saxophone; Ida Raymond and Edwin Miller—flutes; Walter Leidy, Milan Rolik, Robert Miller, and Joseph Chuba—cornets; Ethel Jane Naylor, Joyce Roberts, Helen Sheldon, and Earl Graham—French horns; Wanda Cox, Walter Yeager, and Anthony Palazzolo — trombones; Jack Keating — snare drum; Corinne McCabe — bass drum; James Long — tympani; and Wiiletta Lawrence and Joan Miscoe — pianists. This year we have no cello or viola, and spe- cial orchestral arrange- ments had to be se- cured. STAGE DOOR Presented by the Class o 1944 Directed By Miss Ruth Young CLASS PLAY Your attention, Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight, March 31, 1944, the Johnstown High School Dramatics department presents that sure-cure for your blues, that merry, tender side- splitter, Stage Door, written by Edna Ferber and George S. Kauffman. Named by Burns Mantle one of the ten best plays of 1937, “Stage Door is the story of the young and eager actresses in New York city and their dreams of success. The scene is the Footlights Club, boarding house owned by Mrs. Orcutt, aging ingenue whose theatrical past shows itself in her overly dramatic speeches and gestures. Characters? We have a hard, wise and debunked Judith who characterizes Communist Keith as one of those fellows who started out on a soapbox and ended up in a swimming pool, Kaye and her silent fight for happiness, and finally Terry who has the vivid personality and the mobile face of a born actress around whose climb to fame the story revolves. We promise to give you one of the finest play nights ever held in the Johnstown High School Auditorium. Come and find out whether Terry realizes her hopes or whether she too becomes a Mrs. Orcutt.

I� R O P II E C Y Behold Madame Brownoffsky!—the eyes and ears of the world! Before her sits the magic crystal ball. Let our seer bring you 1945 in its most colorful aspects. Five dark men appear—Nunzio Midile, a priest, at last; that distinguished young lawyer, Rayford Robel; the rising architect. Dean Kissell; the famous engineer, Alfred Jeschonik; and— Joe Midile, chief debater of the country. Moving on we see—but what's this! A huge neon sign spells out Club Perfecto. Oh, here's the owner, Frank Pasquerilla, talking to his M. C., Mike Grysiak and the dancing director, Jim Wagner. Inside we find Till Woolcock and Andy Gard rehearsing their comedy skit for the evening performance. Among the pretty chorus girls lined up near the piano I see Jean Mattem, Joyce Curry, Mary Kathryn Hill, Alice Williams, Dorothy Helsel, Alice Jean Schnabel, Rita Miscoe, and Virginia Wertz. At a table nearby, Richard McGuinn, editor of The Conservative” takes notes for night life section of his paper. We proceed to our Alma Mater, J. H. S„ as some of the teachers are coming out. There's Miss V. McDowell, Senior Spanish Instructress, Miss E. J. Naylor, Music teacher, Miss M. Dun- meyer, head of the Physical Education department, and Miss Marian Barnes and Miss Dor- othy Butler, Mathematics teachers. With them comes Professor DeWayne Foust of Pitt. And now we move to Market Street where we find several small shops. Ah! I see a sign Styles a-la-Marsh. Sure enough, it's Alice Marsh's sewing establishment. Who's that leaning on the counter? Doug Bruce! Hm-m-m. Marialyce Dunlevy models all Miss Marsh's exclu- sive creations. Next door Nancy Vickroy and Betty Jean Peterson have their party aid bureau. Jane Dale, vacationing from her scientific researches in Washington, D. C., and Phyllis Ham- mer, advertiser for a local concern, are talking with the girls. On the top floor of the Conrad apartments I see Ruth Brown and Mary Jo Litzinger collaborating on a radio script which they're writing under contract to David Spinner, head of N. B. C. In one of the Main Street stores, Joe Slivosky inspects the store of which he is the new manager. Who is this debonair chap approaching me now? It's Jack Woy, who has turned playboy after his relatives left him a fortune. Next, the Fort Stanwix comes into view. I see a group of nurses having a birthday dinner for their head doctor. Dr. Edward Radasky. Nurses are Betty Mae Smith, Estelle Quinn, Betty Lydic, and Gwen Stouppe. My crystal ball blurs—the mystics call! I must away before the break of day. SAMMY SLAYME Are You Sammy Slayme? ? (Give yourself this test.) Sammy Slayme is the symbol of any and all young 'uns, who in their teens, have the most unbeknowing manner of putting those detestable silver hairs in poor teacher's cranium of knowledge. In the first place: 1. He asks the fatal question— Is there any assignment? two minutes after the teacher has explained it. 2. He asks, Do we start with Question No. 1? after test has been passed to class. 3. He is usually just too, too scared to give his public speaking. 4. After the fifth act of MACBETH is finished, Sammy inquires Was Macbeth a man or a woman? 5. He can never see the board but would he give up his back seat? No! he wouldn't. 6. He arrives at 3:48 and guiltily hands the teacher home-work due two weeks before. 7. Sammy just loves to lose notebooks. 8. He reads in a monotone for the entertainment of his fellow classmates. 9. Being the class clown, he usually turns over an ink bottle before the period is over. 10. Slayme sits in such a manner that chinning himself on the desk top becomes his daily exercise. 11. He stretches long, lanky legs across the aisle, constructing a hurdle for Susie to hop over. 12. Quite adept at imitating Dan'l Boone, he's always absent on hunting days. 13. Sammy always uses hard lead pencils. Let the teachers try to read it! 14. In the spring his vacant expression betrays the lovelorn haze (I mean daze), and Sammy suddenly takes on all characteristics of a stuffed dummy. NOW—ARE YOU, OR ARE YOU NOT SAMMY SLAYME? THE LOW DOWN We hear Lucille Tate has a V-5 pin; right, Nancy? . . . Poor Pinky, he has competi- tion in the Navy! . . . Wynetta Strick seems to favor the junior class! . . .

Is it true that Bus Kifer and Earl Flower are now the biggest wolves in Jr. Pitt? . . . We hear “Studs Krise is doing all right for himself. Where do you get your inspiration, “Studs? . . . Have you seen Alice Marsh's jacket? Doesn't quite fit her, but she doesn't seem to care! ... We think that it's great that Joyce Curry is going steady with Gene Cowles! . . . We are hearing that Joe Aguanno has become a full-fledged Rowdy!' . . . Jack Betts seems to like his homeroom better since M. D. is in it . . . Phyl Hammers likes crew cuts—blame her? . . . Who is the couple that holds hands in Kredel's? Could their initials be B. M. C. S.? . . . The scenery from 427 isn't so startling, so what makes Rita Miscoe always look in that direction? Could it be Charles Krise? . . .Cass Hill can't decide whether to sing Smoke Gets in My Eyes or Danny Boy ... So Dick Koop's in the air Corps? Well, we have our fingers crossed for you, Dick . . . Janie Spicher likes to walk past 327 as often as possible. What E. T. has that home room? . . . Betty Mae doesn't care for the type of men J. H. S. produces, so she goes to Catholic High for hers! . . . We're still wondering about the Civis-Kerrick feud . . . Estelle Quinn has been singing Anchors Aweigh quite a lot lately. Remember Jack Long? ... We hear Frank Hummel, Francis Mandroc and Mike Grysiak just love the Navy! More power to you, fellows! . . . Helen Jay seems to like Jr. Pitt! She met up with a friend of a good friend of hers and they got together on the subject! ! . . . We're wondering what happened to those moron jokes that used to fly around. Could it be that the jokers aren't around any more? . . . Who gave you the nickname Sniffles, Marialyce? . . . Have you ever noticed how a certain senior always wears flowers in her hair?

Harvey Martin is still trying to get to New Castle . . . it's a wonder C isn't learning to play the cornet! ! . . . Sh-h-h! Don't forget—these are all civilian secrets! IN THE DAYS OF CHIVALRY 1943 A. D. (after detention) marks a memorable year in the school life of our lords and ladies of the Castle of Learning. It was at this time that a council, known throughout the kingdom of J. H. S. as the A. W. K. (Arthur's Willing Knights) was organ- ized. Most convenient headquarters were found in a nearby main drag tavern, which went so far as to furnish even the tradi- tional round table for their daily (yes, I mean daily) moot. Here, and en masse, good King Arthur, alias Doug Bruce, and his gang of good clean knights held court with their ladies fair while his majesty assigned each male his quest. Upon command of his highness a chart was drawn up, whereby all ladies fair could be in touch with the goings on of their glamorous, valor- ous knights. And it was hung in the hall for all to see. Many a duel was fought thereafter. Read, thou nebby one, and keep thy sword sheathed. KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF KREDEL'S ROUND TABLE 1943 A. D.
