S. early in September, because, after all, what subject is more important than the study of one's native language? No matter who the teacher, however, grammar and literature in senior high have come a long way from the days of the original three ''R's. The ap- plication of audio-visual education in the way of movies and recordings is being used more extensively in the study of English literature from the Anglo- Saxon Age up to the Twentieth Century. All who have the opportunity will experience a new thrill in watching “Hamlet and “Macbeth on the screen. Because of their ability to interpret the many details of the picture, Shakes- peare's England is brought closer to those of the trained mind. Investigative themes—one time horror of all seniors—have been made a more worthwhile and interesting project through writing them by the work- shop method. Public speaking, too, is actually fun because the talks are given in the form of panel discussions, book reviews, monologues and sketches. Tommy Television is happy to report that under the supervision of Miss Mary Glenn, the English Department of Johnstown High School is ably taking it place in our modern world.

This makes the knowledge of the histories of other countries vitally important. There- fore, our teachers stress the need of linking the past histories of other countries to the present. Our teachers cover World, Ancient, English and American History. Teachers believe that a well-informed student is one who not only has a knowl- edge of present conditions but of the past as well. Thus, current events is a topic most popular in the history classroom. There is a definite tying up of material with past events. Certain days of the week are desig- nated to study current events so as to keep the students abreast of all world happen- ings. By .capitalizing on the mistakes made in past history, perhaps our students, during their lifespans, can make the history books fifty years hence boast of a free, safe, and democratic world. Miss Josephine Young and class Miss Ruth Hetrick's Spanish Class The knowledge of foreign languages is becoming more and more important a: Iho world is being drawn closer together by means of the airplane, telegraph, etc. Jn keeping with this trend, the language teach- ers at Central High have been emphasizing the practical application of the language they teach. The German classes used conversational phonograph records, such as were used by the army in the last war to teach army per- sonell. All conversation in the Spanish classes was carried on in Spanish, and nev- er in English. Two Spanish newspapers, La Piersa, and La Lux, were also read in class. The French classes learned many French songs, and they, too, read a news- paper, Le Petit Journal. Reading Roman myths and studying Roman customs were the prevalent factors in the Latin classes. Latin was taught so as to strengthen a per- son s sense of English construction. Without a doubt, the Language Department of Johns- town High School is really keeping up with the world. Above— Miss Emma Belle Hauch and class Katherine Zamagias and Helen Wertz Lydia Pavlo and Lois Bettle Go.mmen.cial One of the busiest and largest departments in Johnstown High School is the Commercial Department. It was the task of this department to prepare the commercial students of J. H. S. for the business world, and the opportunities that lie before them. This competent department, under the leadership of Mr. Raymond Morgan, shouldered the responsibility of preparing the bookkeepers, typists, secretaries, stenographers, clerks and machine operators for the business world. The Commercial Department had a varied field of interesting subjects to choose from: bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, retail selling, salesmanship, business math, commercial law, and com- mercial art. At the start of the second semester many students from the Commercial Department worked a half a day over town in the field of commercial work that they had chosen. This gave them training and valuable experience. Each commercial student who took bookkeeping III re- ceived a six weeks course in learning how to operate business machines, so that they would be better equipped to find a posi- tion in a business where modern machines are used. Th Commercial Department of J. H. S. has done a com- mendable job in producing the future men and women of the business world. Joan Replogle and Thelma Sipe, art students tf-ine Alfa Once more the spirits of Gershwin, Rembrandt, and Barrymore stalked the halls of J. H. S., stirring the minds of her students to deeds of accomplishment in the fields of Music, Dramatics, and Art. Through Mr. Charlies I. Aikey's music appreciation, harmony, and theory classes, a large number of students have gained a well-rounded knowledge and apprecia- tion of music, to say nothing of the keen enjoyment these students have gained from contact with music itself. The large number of programs presented by Miss Edith Paul's dramatic groups in assemblies, in addition to the senior class play, have given to the student body a visual and aural knowledge of various aspects of educa- tion that would have otherwise been missed. The Art Department, supervised by Mrs. Madge Rose, can best be appreciated when we consider the fine art work in this yearbook; also the many projects on display in the Art Department throughout the year. Indeed, the Fine Arts of J. H. S. have been on the forward move—all to the advantage of the school as a whole. 1.0 w. Mr. Ralph Gillman instructs at board How many of us realize the opportunities we had in our hands last year? Without a knowledge of mathematics, algebra, geome- try, and trigonometry all business would end; factories would not run. Electrical and power systems would not operate without these rules of man. X •i If we had one eye to the future on Career Day, we would have realized the opportunity the field of mathematics opens to us. We had the power to progress the world—in school, if we were conscientious. Mr. Ralph Gillman is head of the Depart- ment with Mr. James Overdorff, Miss Thelma Fetterman, Mr. A. W. Swanger, and Miss Net- tie Showers as fellow instructors. The knowledge received from the Mathe- matics Department will have a definite appli- cation in the lives of the students who were enrolled in the course. Science be'jxa tment Due to the variety of subjects associated with the Science Department on Johnstown High School's curriculum, many young people each year turn to some phase of this for their life work. It may be medicine, engineering, technical training, or any number of well- known types of vocations, but in most cases the foundation for this work was obtained in high school. The school Science Department offers aeronautics, biology, chemistry, physics, physiography, and physiology to all who are willing and eager to study these subjects. In many of these courses motion pictures are shown, which prove an invaluable visual aid. In many of the science courses at least one laboratory period a week is required. This enables the student to see more clearly the experiments explained in his text. Through science many new paths are opened every year, paths which will certainly influence the destiny of the whole world. With proper training these roads will lead to a peaceful world. Vacatianal bepa tment Tommy Television perched on the edge of a linotype machine, and wondered about America's newest big thing—television. With the coming of anything new, vocations soar. And where could be a better place to train for these new jobs than in shops, such as those at JHS? Midst the buzzing of the Machine Shop and the sparks of the Electric Shop, Tommy set himself out to really find out just what makes the Voca- tional Department tick. After visiting Mechanical Drawing, Sign Shop, Auto Mechanics at Cochran, Sheet Metal Shop, the Woodwork Shop and Print Shop, he knew that the JHS vocational boys were really on the ball. And as for plumbing, if you have a leaky drain pipe, just do as Tommy Television would. Yes, Tommy is proud to present these boys as future workers in the world of television. Boys in Print Shop learn to operate linotype Helene Morrow, Astrid Breivold, Concetta Filia, Sam Berry Hood 3aside Q HS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS (Lett to right) Girls' Vice President—Viola Alessandro President—Bud Frye Jjggr’ Treasurer—Jim Shatynski Boys' Vice-President—Bob Boring Secretary—Janet Schmidt Qlaii Ojjjjioe.n.1 They leave behind a trail of good deeds well done.

That's all right, send that last strip through. Berry, check those sport shots again! Those are typical of the words that came from the JHS Television news room in 419. Chief News Editor, Nina Genovese, and Assistant Film Editors, Alice Mae Slick and Helene Morrow edited the television film throughout the book. Getting the film distributed and started over the proper channels, not to mention the actual production of original shows at our JHS Television Station, was in the hands of the other members of the journalism class who are: Betty Ott and Robert Bernat, Continuity; Paul Wertz and Jay Brown, Lighting; Nancy Jordan, Copy; Jack Strobel, Traffic; Mildred Hallman, Layout; Bill Rose, and Concetta Filia, Make-up; Theresa Miller, Women's Events; Samuel Berry, Sports; Alice Strehler, Production; Lois Ott, Feature Editor; Mildred Nail and Clayton Apple, Special Effects, and Engineers Ted Manick, Robrt Burgo, Paul Garland, and Richard Losh. As the JHS Station unfolds to you the wonders of television and as you watch the never-to-be-forgotten memories of your school life pass before you on our television screen, think of the people behind the scenes who worked to bring it to you—the Editorial Staff of the Spectator.

A ruler clattered to the floor. Across the room, a young artist struggled to open a new bottle of Higgins India ink. The Art Staff was at work. Tucked away securely in the spacious closet, a stack of finished papers grew higher —the title page lay on top, then came the theme presen’ation. Who planned those twink- ling stars and charted the path Tommy Tele- vision follows? Art Editor Betty Griggs; and an excellent job she did! Tommy himself honors the creative mind that directed his every movement. His originator? Ila Jane Wingard, assistant editor. Patiently, Mrs. Madge Rose offered advice and encouragement. At last she slipped in the last cartoon, tied the bundle, and sent it to the engraver. Finished was the year's most important work.

The critics, the advisors, and the copyreaders criticized, advised and copyread tirelessly. The artists artistically per- fected the drawings and arrangements. The typists typed endlessly. The printers printed laboriously. And all this toil would have been in vain had it not been tor the success of the subscription staff. Can you take my order now? . . . Here's the balance . . . Do I pay now or later? ... I want to make a down payment . . . When will my order be filled? . . . Names, money, cash on hand, bal- ances, bills, orders, and the Spectator sales were carried on by every hard-working member of this competent staff. Sales figures went up and up. Anxious buyers increased, every salesman used his best technique, and the sales went over big and the Spectator became a success. The 1948-49 Typing Staff was composed of thirty-one typists. To become a member of the Typing Staff it was necessary to be an outstanding typist. As a result, the members of the Typing Staff were the most accomplished typists in Johnstown High School. This assured us of neatly typed articles. The advisor to the Typing Staff was Mr. James Koontz. The two head typists were Lois Jean Moore and Jo Anne Budney, both of whom were seniors. The work of the Typing Staff was to prepare the Spectator articles for the printer. It was extremely necessary for the articles to be typed without errors, so as to assure us a perfect book.

The Chinese have been known to have said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Any student who has ever graduated from Johnstown High will agree with this ancient saying and the class of 49 is no exception. The students of the 49” graduation class wish to thank the hard-working Photography Staff for their part in help- ing to make this year's Spectator a real remembrance of the dear old Alma Mater. The staff had been busy all year scheduling, filing, and identifying all pictures and getting the necessary information. One of the most im- portant jobs of the staff is the making of the senior panels. So, once again, many thanks to Mrs. Bowes and the rest of the Photography Staff for their splendid work. Lett to right—Skip Lee, Ben Turner, Jack Curry, Tom Roberts, Vernon James and George Rolfe. Alpha and fleta Jfi If Both the Alpha and Beta Hi-Y's scheduled active programs lor the 48-49 year. To date, the seniors have sponsored a hay- ride, parties and teen talks. They have participated in initiation ceremonies, presented fifty dollars to the World Youth Fund, and copped the Hi-Y basketball trophy. Like it's big brother, the Beta branch has also held parties, teen talks, and swim meets. The Alpha Hi-Y elected the following officers at the begin- ning of the term: Jack Curry, president; Tom Roberts, vice-presi- dent; Robert James, secretary; George Roepe, chaplain and Ben Turner, sergeant-at-arms. The Beta Hi-Y Anthony DelSignore, president; Donald Huss, vice president; Victor Buckovich, secretary; Edward Giracss, treasurer; Emery Orozco, sergeant-at-arms, and Walter Koval- chik, chaplain. ★ ★★★ ★ Qisilk Athletic Anociatian SenioM. Health and more health say these lusty females. The Girls' Athletic Association, sponsored by Miss Phylliis Long and Miss Alice Rutledge, prepared a new plan of organization this year. With the assist- ance of various committees the members participated in a wider variety of activities. G. A. A. is not an exclusive club. The membership is unlimited and any girl interested in sports may join. Activities sponsored by the G. A. A. included a volleyball tournament and basketball tournament. A tumbling and gymnastic group, also, took twists and turns to produce effects. A comparatively new feature in the last two years ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Qi'iU Athletic A'l'iaciatian fluttiosid was the G. A. A. swimming club, that held classes one night a week at the Y. W. C. A. Noon dancing, the annual Christmas Party, and the selling of refresh- ments at games were additional activities. A new feature is a point system that has been worked out and permits members to earn G. A. A. letters. Points are awarded for attending meetings, selling dance tickets and refreshments, for swimming, basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics. Officers of G. A. A. are President, Helen Zedlar; Vice-President, Mary Ann Winslow; Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Felix. These are the girls who will carry on the work ol the seniors. 7. k. e. Each year twenty senior girls are chosen as members of Johnstown High's T. K. E. T. K. E. are three Greek words, To Kaaron Enomina, meaning We Seek the Beautiful. These words are the motto of T. K. E. girls for they have tried to sponsor projects which will help, not only club members, but also various charities. The annual Christmas project has become a tradition. This year the girls held a bake sale in order to present the children of the Christian Home with two wagons. Among the highlights of T. K. E. activities was a Mother-Daughter Tea held at the Green Kettle, at which Miss Sophia Moiles, adviser to the group, stressed the merits upon which the girls were chosen—scholarship, leadership, character, and personality. Helene Morrow was elected president of the group, Alice Strehler, vice president; Mar- jorie Mulhollen, social secretary; Mary Livingston, recording secretary; and Betty Griggs, treasurer. National cMonosi Society Square, flat, caps with silken tassels and black gowns that bespeak dignity, are worn by senior students walking toward the stage; in the orchestra pit the band measures the stately bars of Pomp and Circumstance;” in the audience are parents and friends. The time is March 16, the event, the initiation of forty-nine members of the 1949 Touchstone Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society. On the basis of their scholastic standing, their character, service, and leadership, this group which represents the college, commercial, liberal arts, and vocational departments has been chosen. Under the supervision of Miss Mary D. Glenn, sponsor, the officers, Robert Boring, president; Nancy Moebus, vice-president; Blanche Madigan, secretary; Mary Ann Winslow, treasurer, are working to make the last semester of the year 1948-49 a mem- orable one for the forty-niners of forty-nine.” Ted Rainey, Pat Crock, Jim Ortiz, Janet Schmidt, Jack Wilson, Jack Curry, and George Najjar. Student Council Composed of elected representatives of the junior and senior English classes, the Student Council may well be the pulse of our high school. The primary task of the council is to look out for the good of the pupils. It is not, however, a case of student body versus the adminis- tration. Both must, and do, work for the good of the school. During the last term, members of the group made many help- ful suggestions which have eventually improved the condition of Joe Student. Student Council, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Sharp and Miss Alice Goch- er, planned and directed Career Day. This was one of the most important projects of the Council this past term. Mr. Boyer has endeavored to run our school as a democracy, and the Student Council is a good example of his efforts. The Science Club of Johnstown High School has been a thriving organization for many years and the 48-49 Club was no exception. This year's group consisted of approximately eighty-five energetic members, of which fifty were seniors and thirty-four were juniors. Under the direc- tion of their adviser. Miss Sophia Moiles, the club played a major part in activities associated with science, both local and national. Some of the activities in which the organization participated were the regional meeting of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science at Indiana, the K.D.K.A. School Science Quiz and the Pittsburgh Press Sci- ence Congress at Buhl Planetarium, Pittsburgh. Throughout the years Johnstown High School has won its share of honors in the field of science and has sent its honor members on to the universitites with outstanding scholastic records. If you are looking for an active group, then you need search no further, for we have focused on our television screen one of the busiest organizations in the high school —the Band. Practice for marching-band starts well before school opens in the fall and the 100 members are kept busy playing at football games, in parades, and at various o her events well into November. The activities of the band do not cease with football season, however. Concert-band rehearsals begin immediately after marching-band activities have ended. This phase of band life continues into the spring when the annual concert is held. The concert this year featured selections by composers that ranged from Rossini to Cole Porter. This year, the most pleasant surprise for the Band, and especially for Mr. Charles Aikey, was the presentation to him of a new car by the citizens of Johnstown for his out- standing work as a music educator and for his meritorious services to the youth of the city. O'toltelin a Although working under the definite handicap of lack of members, the orchestra this year has performed a large and varied repertoire, including numbers that range from Bach to Berlin. With but four violins, no French horns, and like vacancies in other sections, the group has practiced this year more for its own enjoyment rather than for any public per- formance. The members of the group have benefited from the well-rounded program of num- bers Mr. Charles Aikey chose for their enjoyment and study. Judging from the enthusiasm and keen delight the students take in this particular field of music, their high school orches- tra period has been time well spent. GUvull Of the many activities making up Johnstown High School's curriculum, the chorus plays a leading role. This group of approximately one hundred students is under the artistic direction of Miss Mary Weaver. Members are carefully chosen after competitive tryouts in the Junior High Schools and also at Central High. Each student participating in this activity has his program so arranged that he is scheduled for three regular chorus periods a week. It is customary for the chorus to present a Christmas program and a con- cert in the spring. Both programs always are anticipated with keen interest. This year the Christmas feature was a cantata entitled Jesus Christ which is a collection of magnificent carols representative of many countries. The story told in music begins with the Promise and leads up to the birth of Christ. President—Skip Lee Secretary—Clayton Apple Vice-President—Don Miller Treasurer—Dick Potter Pay'4, Pep, Club What other Johnstown High School organization can boast after its initiation, the inability of its new members to sit down for an entire week? One guess —The Johnstown High School Boys' Pep Club. Or what club can boast of having such efficient offi- cers as Stanford Lee, President; Donald Miller, Vice- President; Clayton Apple. Secretary; Dick Potter, Treasurer, and Budmond Frye, Sergeant-at-Arms? Besides doing just what their name implies, Pep up the student body at all athletic events, the club is active in serving as the host for other school clubs. For example, they served as the servants, or if you prefer hosts to the Girls’ Pep Club. No comments on the party that ensued. Both clubs had a wonderful time. It was an easy task to distinguish this year's members. Each of them sported a “flashy new Pep Club jacket, that could be seen a mile off. The 1948-49 Pep Club members passed through the Johnstown High School portals, leaving the task of running a wonderful club to their successors. Qini'P p, GUlL In the fall a young girl's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Girls' Pep Club. The Pep Club this year was as busy as bees. Activities included the never forgotten initiation, which lasted a full week. Min- eral oil, onion necklaces, buckets, signs, and jeans featured this annual event. A formal dance was then held to furnish the finishing touches to the ini- tiation ceremonies. Other activities sponsored by the club were several pep rallies during football season. But the most important was the rally before the Windber- Johnstown game when a snake dance and bonfire was held at Point Stadium. The night before the game the town received a white washing with var- ious victory signs. The Pep Club also sponsored a Christmas Party for children at the Cambria City Mission. The girls provided a Christmas tree, pres- ents and refreshments for everyone. Officers of the club are President, Marjorie Mul- hollen; Vice-President, Astrid Breivold; Secretary, Myrtle Weller; Treasurer, Jane Stokes. Miss Louise Kunkle is the faculty director.

Seniosi Zf 'leesi The main theme behind the Y-Teen clubs this year was service. Despite the small group, the Senior Y-Teens were able to carry out many constructive service projects. A large number sacrificed many free hours to serve as nurses' assistants at the Memorial Hospital. To patients these Y-Teens with their white aprons meant a helping hand, a willingness to serve and most of all, a bright smile. Other service projects included aiding in the March of Dimes Campaign and telling stories to the children at the Cambria Free Library. Perhaps one of the greatest services a Y-Teen can do is put into practice the thoughts of good citizenship gained by attending the annual Hi-Y-Y-Teen Conference held in conjunction with the Hi-Y Clubs. Y-Teens can be summed up in three words—Friends, Fellowship and Fun! Uunian, y een Junior Y-Teens is one of the most popular clubs at Johnstown High because it gives the girls from Cochran, Joseph Johns, and Garfield a chance to become better acquainted. Many friendships grow when the girls get together for the first time and plan club activi- ties for the coming year. Their activities are coordinated with those of the Senior Y-Teens and many parties, initiations, and service projects are sponsored jointly. Miss Marion Matula is the adviser and the officers are: President, Elaine Dunmyer; Vice-President, Betty Hockey; Secretary, Theresa Perry; Treasurer, Janet Wilson; Program Chairman, Shirley Andrews; Inter-Club Council Representative, Carmela Magistro. Each year two delegates are chosen from the Junior Y-Teens to attend the Tri-State Y-Teen Conference in June. In this way girls who were good Junior Y-Teens are given training to become better Senior Y-Teens. Organized two years ago, the Key Club has since risen to a major organization at Central High. The club played a principal role in the development of Career Day. The past year has been spent in trying to improve the school life of the students. The members of this group have tried to do all in their power to better equip themselves, and their fellow students for the days after graduation. In addi- tion to this service, the club has also planned and sponsored a series of noon recreation programs de- signed not only to be entertaining but educational as well. its second year. Each semester, thirty-six students take the driving course under the direction of Mr. Harry Klahre. The course consisted of five periods a week de- voted to class room instruction. Along with that, each student spent five periods every fifteen school days in the car. Four students shared the time behind the wheel. Until the students obtained their learners' permits, they received preliminary instruction on a large field. They then drove on the open road regardless of weather. After months of preparation the students cleared the final hurdle, the driving tests were taken. Through this course the young drivers have not only learned the art of driving but also realized the great responsibility which they have undertaken. National Thespians, Troupe 660 bamcUicA Shades of Katherine Cornell! Judging from the numerous and exciting activities during the past year, Thespus himself must have smiled down on the Dramatics Department of J. H. S. Beginning in September with a weiner roast for the members of the previous year, the J. H. S. Troupe 660 of the National Thespian Society in turn held the formal initiation ceremony for new members in October, a gala Christmas program in December, and the annual banquet in June. Plans were also made to send delegates to the National Conference of Dramatic Artists this summer at Indiana University, Wilmington, Indiana. On February 4, the troupe sponsored a special assembly featuring Hal Rodman, noted Holly- wood make-up man. Mr. Rodman scored a hit with the student body by demonstrating his unique make-up technique on some of the students them- selves. But the real highlight of Thespian activities came during National Drama Week when an original radio play Seance was presented by mem- bers of the society on February 12 over station WARD. The purpose of the program was to interest schools of the surrounding areas in organizing Thes- pian Troupes of their own. Sponsored by Miss Edith Paul, the officers of Troupe 660 were Robert McHenry, president; Astrid Breivold, vice-president; Janet Schmidt, secretary, and Nina Genovese, treasurer.

I Jw The Production Staff of Years Ago.” Seniae Play Tommy Television really set his scouts on the right track when he sent them to J. H. S. for potential stars! The students presented several outstanding assembly programs during the year, ranging from a welcome assembly to the juniors to the one-act plays presented by the juniors themselves at the end of the year. Two radio broadcasts were presented by the department as community service projects. But the seniors really had their day when it came time for the senior class play Years Ago, an autobiography by Ruth Gordon. Miss Gordon's true story of school-girl ambition contained humor, romance, and reality, which, combined with the fine acting of Clayton Apple, Joan Winslow, Pat Wheeler, Lois Ott, Joan Porinchak, Vaughn McGough, Mary Jane Goff, Ver- non James and Jack St. Clair, made the 1949 senior class play another un- forgettable production of the Dramatics Department. In fact, the play, pre- sented on April 22, was such a success that Tommy insists it be televised so that everyone can see what a fine job was done! With such a satisfactory record of accomplishments, Miss Edith Paul and her students have brought recognition to Central High. Scene from Senior Class Play— Years Ago P iwit czltOfl The Print Shop again this term was busy doing work for the school. The Football Ban- quet Programs and Play Programs for Central High and Joseph Johns Jr. High were set up and collected in the Print Shop. The most important work the Print Shop does under the supervision of Mr. Joseph Coyle, is the printing of the 64 pages and cover of the School Directory. The boys also print “The Centralizer. This year the Print Shop secured two new fonts of matrices—8 and 10 point Electra. In this shop the boys are taught proper hand composition, machine composition, platen presswork, cylinder presswork, and bindery work. The printers see that Promotion Programs for three Junior high schools are printed, not to mention numerous forms used everywhere in the school system. Again this term the Sign Shop got off to a flying start by making the banners for the football games. These boys are to be commended for the many attractive displays seen around school. The most important project of the Sign Shop this year was the advertising for the Athletic Department. The boys, under the direction of Mr. William Gardner, also make the scenery for the Dramatic Department. This year the students of the Sign Shop did quite an amount of silk screen work. The painters were responsible for the seat numbering at the point, for the football games. Beside making posters for the school and club dances, the Sign Shop boys make posters for the Teen Canteen. To you members of the Sign Shop we say Paint On. luto. Mocltattioi In the future, when you will have your model T or custom-built Buick, you will need repairs. These repairs will be made by experienced auto mechanics, who were formerly students of Johnstown High School auto shop. There are two shops, one is located at Garfield Junior High School, the other at Cochran Junior High School. Garfield auto shop is under the direc- tion of Mr. Frank Meyers and Mr. Charles Thomas directs Cochran's auto shop. The high school boys may specialize in any one of three trade units: body and fender work, the motor, and the electrical unit. The boys are first instructed on how to wash and simonize an automobile. The second and third courses include body painting, and the changing of springs and fenders. Little text-book work is done because understanding of the work is most satisfactorily presented through visual aids and actual project work. A complete set of slide film is available for the boys, which shows every phase of operation associated with the automobile. Machine Sltofi Johnstown High School can boast of a modern and efficient Machine Shop. Here, under the direction of Mr. Charles Wonders, the boys learn to operate giant machines to the accuracy of a thousandth of an inch. Students, upon entering the course, are taught the basic principles of the Machine Shop and of its large machines which include shapers, lathes, drill presses, grinders, and a power hacksaw. Various projects are assigned to the young machinists. These projects demand skill and accuracy. In addition to these projects, the boys are called upon to make parts for machines of other shops in the high school. To show the scope of their efforts, the Machine Shop entertained the other students of the school with a demonstration of its various works. Among these were bolts, jacks, gears, clamps and other technical and intricate ex- amples of industrial art. With the world entering into an era of mechanical marvels, we salute these boys who will be the operators of tomorrow, boys who are masters of machines, the core of our American economy. In September of '48, seventeen boys came back to their old shop. Far from the conception of the boys lay the future plans of Mr. Edgar Sal- keld. Into this future the boys plunged with vigor, conquering one electron after another, making them obey their will. Mere matter was tranformed into an electric motor, and an experimental transformer. The positive and negative ions plus brain power were wound together into a miniature house project, from the induction of high-power lines to the reduction into low voltage lines. Seeking a better background, the class toured the Penelec plant on Broad Street during the open house week where they warranted them- selves a picture in the official Penelec booklet and also in a local paper along with a write-up of their visit. During the latter months of school, actual wiring of a house project was conquered by the boys and will undoubtedly lead to an electronic future for these young men. The boys in wood shop are again doing the work of their predecessors. The first two weeks of school Mr. George Knerem taught the boys how to operate the machines. He also instructed them on the significance of Safety- first. The Juniors repaired school furniture and made new furniture for the building. They made small projects for themselves, such as end-tables, cabinets, and radio cabinets. The Seniors repaired the electric shop bench and constructed a new one; built a second story in the stockroom for supplies; and made cabinets for the grade schools, Cochran and Joseph Johns. They also built a cabinet with six doors for costumes. Mr. Knerem located odd jobs for them after school hours. This gave them experience for after graduation. Some jobs are corner cupboards and sashes for windows. Jay Sherman, a senior, worked in the Johnstown Planning Mill evenings after school and on Saturdays. Sheet Metal In an industrial age it is only natural that a modern school like Johns- town High Schood should be equipped with a Sheet Metal Shop. This well-equipped shop is set up under the direction of Mr. Bruce Alter for pre-apprenticeship training. When a boy first enters the shop, he is taught the importance of abiding by all safety rules, to operate machines skill- fully, and to draw accurate plans. A basic outline of pattern drafting is presented later in the junior year. Many articles are made in order to develop hand and machine opera- tion skills, beginning with the simplest job and advancing to the more intricate tasks. Pattern development and mechanical drafting are definite musts in the rheet metal trade. The knowledge of various metals and their manufacturing processes is taught in the shop, and in the senior year various kinds of welding are taken up. Some of the articles constructed by the shop are dust pans, boxes, scrub buckets, furnace pipes, spouting, heating ducts and boats. Metal work has been an outstanding trade for many centuries and is an outstanding industry of today. In this occupation there are ample jobs waiting for a young man who is willing to study and apply himself. PlumLuifj, Shop, The year is 1955, the scene is a neatly constructed house in the more distinguished part of town. The wife of one of the more prominent citizens is lying restlessly in bed when the faucet begins to drip. Frantic, she awakens her husband. Darling, you must do something about that faucet. He goes to the sink and in a little while is back. My, you fixed that quick. How did you do it? The husband smiled and replied, “You seem to forget that I took plumbing at Johnstown High back in 1949. Remember? I also learned many other things such as connecting up various plumbing layouts in houses, apartments, and buildings. Our class completed a chest with hand carved lead during my school year. I still have my gold-plated faucet which every graduate who has completed two years receives for his efforts. His wife goes back to sleep. The husband stares intently at the ceiling and, thinking of his high school days, he slowly falls asleep for he has a tough day tomor- row and tomorrow is forever. tf-oo-tball With the competent aid of several seasoned veterans, the Johnstown High School football squad sped through a ten-game season with seven wins and three losses. The backfield strength was in the capable hands of Bill Spangler, Paul Edmonds, Ted Rainey, and Tom Spack, not omitting their brilliant under- studies, Julius Taromina, Bill Ludwig, and Charles De Army. The Johnstown line was a mass of crushing terror, as many teams found out. It was spark-plugged by an outstanding “All District left end, Clarence Hemmer and a rugged “All District tackle, Jim Shatynski. Playing along side of them were Tony Salvia, Dan Popovich, Jim Minana, Ned Car- michael, Nick Marinkovich, Frank Stefanick, and a host of other capable play- ers, such as Ron Yamick, Curt Hazelrig, and Steve Milkovich. 25-6 The Johnstown Trojans met the Cone- maugh Township Indians at the Point Stadium on September 11, to open an- other season of pigskin thrills and chills. Johnstown trampled a tough lit- tle advisory to chalk up their first win. 40-6 On Saturday, September 18, the Tro- jan eleven completely dazzled a spunky Pittsburgh 5th Avenue team by masterfully piercing their line. The Tro- jans were now set in the public eye as a dangerous pigskin opponent. 14-41 A rugged New Kensington team, by setting up an unstoppable passing at- tack, crushed the Blue and Black of Johnstown—handing them their first defeat. The Trojans on the lower end of scoring felt that this would be their toughest game. 7-23 In their annual game, the Windber Ramblers warded off a surprised Tro- jan team. The Trojans—never compre- hending defeat, fought back valiantly and courageously, letting a Windber team know that they were no push- over. 1-0 On October 9, the Johnstown squad having been stung twice by defeat, were again plowed under by a wide awake Redstone team, but the discov- ery of illegal Redstone players gave Johnstown a win by forfeit. 0-20 Johnstown met a highly spirited team in the McKeesport “eleven. Although never tiring in their efforts, Johnstown remained scoreless throughout the game. McKeesport triumphed with three touchdowns and two conversions. 19-14 Snapping out of a losing streak the - Trojans baffled a fighting Jeanette team at the Point Stadium. The Jean- ette lineup, went home, somewhat bewildered at having lost a close one. Thus was the beginning of a Trojan winning array. 19-7 Altoona—always one of the most troublesome teams on the Trojan's pig- skin schedule was snowed under by a determined Johnstown team. The game played at Altoona, was a win which many football fans expected to be a loss. 13-6 A determined Greensburg team vis- ited Johnstown on Saturday, November 6, hoping to add a win to their credit. Their wishing was subdued by a flashy Central High School team which was now in its prime. 30-12 Johnstown rang up a fourth consecu- tive win by burying a sparkling but outclassed Charleroi team. The Trojans with 30 points—their second highest scoring mark of the season, retired for another year with seven wins—three losses.

The Trojan Cage Team this year completed a trying season. In the tri-county competition only Westmont ranked ahead ol our own representatives. The leading teams of the leagues set a fast and furious pace which was sometimes hard to keep up with. It was in these games that the will to win was displayed, although it was dampened many times by an over-powering squad. During the six years the Johnstown High School has been in the tri-county games, she was unde- feated the first three years with thirty-four consecu- tive wins, and finished the six-year period with fifty-two wins out of sixty-two games. The quintet representatives of J. H. S. finished three years in first place, two years in second place and only one-year in third place. Gallantly led by Coach Clark Shaffer, the Men of Troy this year have set a stirring pace of drib- bling, pivoting, passing and shooting. Noticeable in these games were the qualities of teamwork, clean fun, and the ability to stick out many gruel- ing practice sessions. The cagemen of JHS who hung the baskets this year were: Spangler, Frombach, Custer, Strait, Pe- trore and Popovich. Physical fyUmAA. Now, more than ever, with the growing demand for physical fit young men in all walks of life, it is important that the boys of America receive early physical training. All boys in Johnstown High School, who are physically able, are com- pelled to attend at least two gym classes a week. During the school year an organ- ized program of marching drills, bas- ketball, relay games, gymnastics of all types and volleyball is followed. This program is under the direction of Coaches Clark Shaffer and Mich- ael Garbinski. With the fine equipment at Cen- tral High, plus the detailed athletic program in operation, America can claim from our own school, boys mentally and physically fit. Oravetz pumps one— Baseball Take me out to the ball game. is the cry uttered by millions of base- ball fans every spring, especially by the Johnstown High School baseball fans. The Trojan followers praised their players and enthusiastically followed them through the season. After an intensifying training per- iod, under the direction of Coach Paul Abele, the Johnstown Trojans were shaped up to meet such com- petition as Westmont and Bedford. In every game, as in any Trojan athletic event, the Johnstown Troy- men entered the games with high spirit and with that spirit went the anxiety of Johnstown fans for their team to win. Victory was sweet, but in spite of defeat, that spirit lingered on, for the Johnstown High School sport fans were loyal to a swell team. Wie tluuf The Johnstown High Wrestling Squad, with Michael Garbinski, Coach, finished the 1949 season with the show- ing of four wins and seven losses. Sam McClemens, a sophomore at Joseph Johns, led the Grappling Gerties for the '49 season with 37 points. Leroy Lose ran a close second with 35 points and also scored the highest number of individual pins for the year. Seniors Ned Carmichael and Jack Garcia sparked the team through the eleven-game season. Garcia, a 127- pound wrestler, was captain during all the matches. Junior members of the team were Chuck Bassinger, Ron McAleer, Steve Milkovich, Bob Hartnett and Bill Grif- fith. Tenth graders on the team were Bob Civis of Joe Johns, Earl Haselrig of Garfield and Bob Helsel of Cochran, while Stasik of Garfield and Luscudo of Cochran were the only freshmen. f I'vaclz The fact that athletes must live cheer- fully and not indulge in any of the vices iha! others do. certainly improves their health just that much more than the average persons. This would not be true if it were merely a spasmodic thing, but an athlete cannot be made in a short time. It requires years to develop a win- ner and those years are the most im- portant in producing vitality. This re- sults in long life. Track and Field competition is in- dividual in almost all events and there- fore one must depend on his own ability to win. It is one phase of the athletic program in which you can take care of a greater number of participants because of the varied number of events.

Glteesileadie il This year's pepper uppers, under the direction of Miss Alice Rutledge and Miss Phyllis Long have certainly shown us what a little cooperation and ambition can do. They sponsored a pep rally be- fore the Windber football game with the traditional snake dance down Main Street, a bon fire cheering session, and a dance at the Canteen. Our cheerlead- ers with Janet Schmidt as head leader, Jane Fleck, Alice Colbert, Joan Robert- son, Natalie Jones, Nancy Fisher, Nancy Kerns, Don Milchak, Dick McAllister, and alternate Pat Crock certainly did their part in making Johnstown High School's sports season a great success. r fy i '4. Sake. Have you seen what the girls' gymnastic department has been doing? Well, for health's sake, these modern lassies go in for a tough program. Girls are no longer consid- ered the weaker sex when it comes to athletics. The first four weeks in September were devoted to general gymnastics, calesthenics, marching and drilling. A volleyball tournament was then formed and following this was a basketball tournament, more calesthenics, and finally a tumbling program. The GAA also organized a swimming team. Under the direction of Miss Phyllis Long and Miss Alice Rutledge, the girls received conditioning drills and exercises before entering volleyball, basketball, or tumbling. The drills were stressed to acquaint the girls with various skills they had to know before par- ticipating in a game. The exercises prepared the special muscles to be used for the stren- uous games ahead. Then the girls were ready to participate and how they did play! i liners Each year, Scholastic, national high school magazine, sponsors writing and art awards. The Regional Contest which includes entries from all high schools in Western Pennsylvania are sponsored by the Pittsburgh Press in the literary division and by Kauffmans in the art division. Gold Keys and certificates of merit are awarded to all winners. They then become automatically eligible for the national awards which include cash prizes. The awards are considered the Pulitzer prizes of the high school world. The following essay was awarded the certificate of merit in the regional writing award contest sponsored by the Pittsburgh Press, and also given honorable mention in the national contest sponsored by Scholastic magazine. jbon't o-leiate — fynAeiitatul By Nancy Jordan Tolerance is one of the words in the average American's vocabulary that is over- rated, overused and grossly misused. Did you ever stop to think that tolerance is an ugly word? Not only does the word sound ugly to the ear, but its very meaning is ugly. If we tolerate, we bear or endure. In other words, when we tolerate, we put up with something, whether we want to or not. If we adopt this absurd attitude, all our attempts to overcome prejudices of any sort will be futile. International, interracial, inter- religious understanding will be at a stand- still. The girl belonging to the Methodist Youth Fellowship should not tolerate the Catholic Sorority member who sits across from her in history class. By the same token, the Catho- lic girls must do more than tolerate the girl two seats behind her, the girl who be- longs to the National Council of Jewish Women. These girls should admire and respect each other, not just tolerate. Friendship of any kind, let alone a true and lasting one, cannot be built upon tolerance. At an interfaith meeting the members who were really sincere in an en- deavor to promote better understanding had spent the afternoon planning meth- ods and ways whereby they might better tolerate minorities. Near the close of the meeting they asked one of the Negro girls if she thought her ideas and plans for tolerance would be successful. Her honest and sincere reply was: All afternoon you have been making plans for tolerance. I speak as a Negro who during the last week was turned down for three different jobs. The employment managers probably tolerated' Negroes, but didn't respect them enough to hire me. This girl was a high school honor graduate capable of filling a job if given the chance, but never received this chance because those in charge of personnel merely tolerated her, but did not recognize her rights as a human being. Nancy Jordan 1948 Winner—Essay 1949 Double Winner— Poetry and Feature Story She went one to say that she didn’t want to be “tolerated in the sense that she would be permitted to join clubs and be invited into individual homes. She continued: Although it would be very nice to be invited to your clubs and homes, I do not crave social attention. Rightfully I have my own people with whom to socialize. All I want is to be admitted to a public restaurant or college and given the opportunity to obtain and hold a decent job.” Somehow these simple, straightforward words coming from a girl who knew how it felt to be a Negro—and one who knew how it felt to be tolerated —made a deep and lasting impression on the group. Those words made some of us feel ashamed and served to unite all of us into a group that would in the future work on plans—not to tolerate—but to re- spect and understand the rights of others. This job of understanding is a big one. Its proportions are infinite. Certain- ly it will not be accomplished by the type of persons, who, when they see preju- dice in action, say, “if there is anything I can do, let me know. The job must be done by persons who see the prejudices, recognize these prejudices and then DO something about them. This fight for understanding cannot be won by inactive groups, pretty posters, and trite speeches whose main cry is “tolerance.” Nor is the strife for understanding limited to any select organization or community. It is a job for everyone in towns, cities, states and countries. The learned must instruct the ignorant. A young child does not know the ideals of equality until its mother teaches that child. So also must we teach. Let us start NOW with actions that show we are not content to tolerate but rather that we respect the human rights of our fellow beings.

POOH MINNIE By Concetta Filia Her father was wealthy, and riches were hers. She lived all her life, in satins and furs. Diamonds and emeralds she had by the score. Rubies and sapphires abounded galore. Dresses trimmed with silver, hats lined with gold, She owned every gem, the price was untold. But amidst all this luxury, only sadness she knew. She ne'er had a man whose love would be true. Then one day before her, a new world was laid. This was the moment for which she prayed. A man, a man!” she cried in surprise. Truly it was a man, before her eyes. “I've come to marry you, Minnie, my dove. May I have your earnest devotion and love?” ” 'Tis a mirage, a mirage!” Minnie had said. —And immediately Minnie fell stone cold dead. Concetta Filia 1948 (Double winner in Re- gional Writing Award Contest) Serious and Humorous Poetry 1949 Winner of International Letter Award The following poem was awarded the certificate of merit in the regional writing award contest sponsored by the Pittsburgh Press. TO YOU, 0 DEMOCRACY! By Concetta Filia Broad maple and sturdy oak trees border paved streets; In a distance tiny houses are shingled red and green. At a closer view, rooftops are slated brown and slated black. Farther away is the shadow of a rising mountain. Speckled green and orange and gol in its fantas'.ic autumn glory. Healthy children attend the red brick grade school on Vine Street. On Washington Avenue the beautiful Evangelical church towers high over surrounding buildings. There are telephone poles and grocery stores and grade schools. The neighborhood drug store is a scene of happy young people. Street cars and buses carry weary people home from a long day's work. This town is filled with people,— Hundreds, thousands of Germans, Irish, Italians, Poles, Slavs and Negroes—all Americans. They are Americans because they eat hotdogs, Buy corn-on-the-cob, have turkey on Thanksgiving. Color eggs on Easter, pack a lunch on the Fourth of July, Hang stockings over the mantle and wait for Santa Clause on a happy, gay Christmas, And they sing Silent Night and go to midnight mass. A housewife can discuss a new recipe and relax on the porch swing on a cool summer's evening. Her husband can go to a baseball game And the children can ride the swings in the pub- lic playground. Now why can a high school student listen to “The Cavalcade of America'' and Why can a man smoke his pipe and read the eve- ning newspapers and Why can thousands, young and old, men and women, black or white witness the World Series. They can't do these things in Europe— Why can an Irish or an Italian woman go to her Roman Catholic church on Sunday morning. While her neighbors go to the Lutheran and Zionist churches: They can't do these things in Russia or in any country of Europe or Asia. And why can children go to public playgrounds, and men and women vote? Then, like the brilliance of the sun; Like the bright star lonely on a black night; Like an answer to the mysterious unknown; We see an American flag waving over this city— This typical American city; And it symboilzes all these things. With a chug of its engine and A roar of its wheels; A train, the Freedom Train, comes to this city. The banker's daughter in her rich mink coat, A farmer's daughter in her plain wool coat, A lawyer, doctor, a laborer in the mills; And a mine worker; view the contents of this free- dom train: The Mayflower compact; the Constitution, the Declar- ation of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. A little woman smiles a tired smile as she stares. For her son was killed on Saipan to preserve them. Side by side, Americans pass through this freedom train. As they step out of its door, they remember Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Eisenhower, and MacArthur. The Gettysburg Address; Battle of Bunker Hill; Crossing the Delaware, Raising the stars and stripes over Iwo Jima.— And looking up—they see that flag gently fluttering in the breeze; And silently thank God that they live in America!
