e toe. 0 0 0 0 0 Professor of Wonderland (Reprinted trom Coronet Magazine) by Carol Lynn Gilmer Charles Dodgson wrote many scholarly tomes, but his gay nonsense made him immortal Alice Liddell (The original Alice in Wonderland) NE DAY ABOUT MIDWAY in the last century, a handsomely bound copy of a new children's book, Alice's Adven- ture's in Wonderland, was presented to Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, the Princess Beatrice. It came with the com pliments of the author, Lewis Carroll, a name virtually unknown in British liter- ary circles. The Princess, however, was enchanted with the gay nonsense, the bright fan- tasy, the sunny warmth of the book, and her distinguished mother was no less en- thusiastic. In fact, the Queen was so de- lighted she asked that copies of the au- thor's other works be sent to her. To her amazement, she received a collection of scholarly treatises on algebra, geometry and trigonometry! Thus it was that Queen Victoria learn- ed of one of the greatest curiosities of literary history. For the man who, as Lewis Carroll, has given hours of happi- ness to many generations of young readers, was in private life Charles Lut- widge Dodgson, a grave and learned professor of mathematics at Oxford University. Even today, it is hard to believe that the creator of the pompous White Rab- bit, the tearful Mock Turtle and the mad Mad Hatter could also have pro- duced such works as An Elementary Treatise on Determinants. But the thought of the serious professor as a fanciful story-teller did not surprise his best friends—the children for whom he wrote. And only in their company did Charles Dodgson become Lewis Carroll. The contrast between these two per- sonalities was startling. The shy, for- mal bachelor who taught at Oxford in no way resembled the gay, lightheart- ed individual who originated the Alice stories. Dodgson was precise, almost to the point of eccentricity, in routine activ- ities. For example, if he were going on a train trip, he would calculate to the last penny each item of expense and arrange to have the exact change for every tip, cab fare and meal.

Lewis Carroll, on the other hand, loved to take long, meandering walks accompanied by several young charges—never giving a thought to where the next turn in the road might lead; stopping at a bakery shop to buy sweets; visiting a toy store to purchase trinkets for his small companions. Dodgson suffered great embarrassment be- cause of a speech impediment which caused him to stammer when conversing with adults. But Carroll could talk easily for hours on end, spin- ning fantasy with his gentle voice for the amuse- ment of his young friends. Perhaps the first children to discover the Lewis Carroll who could tell such wonderful stories were Dodgson's small brothers and sisters. The son of a clergyman, he was the oldest of 11 children, and though, even as a boy, he was scholarly and serious, he would gather his broth- ers and sisters around and amuse them with im- probable stories and impromptu bits of humor- ous verse. But it remained for a little girl named Alice Liddell to introduce Lewis Carroll to the world—it was she who inspired the immortal Alice of the books. It started on a July afternoon in 1862, when Dodgson invited the three young daughters of Henry G. Liddell, dean of Christ Church Col- lege at Oxford, to go on a picnic with him. They took a rowboat and glided slowly up the quiet Thames. Then, seeking relief from the hot sun, they pulled the craft into a peaceful cove and took refuge in the shade of a hayrick. Soon the children asked for a story. Dark-haired, elfin-faced little Alice had al- ways been Dodgson's favorite of the three sisters —perhaps because her lilting, imaginative nature matched that of Lewis Carroll. Now she smiled in anticipation of another of his magic tales and added one special requirement: Make sure, she said, there's some non- sense in it. No sooner was the admonition given than the storybook Alice and all her friends seemed to pop unbidden into Lewis Carroll's mind. This was the magic moment: and the story that has since delighted countless children began. All that afternoon he held the little girls spellbound. Then other afternoons followed, for Alice Liddell and her sisters could not hear enough of Car- roll's fascinating Wonderland. Soon, the real Alice was begging that the story be written for her to keep. Thus, the imag- inary Alice's adventures found their way onto paper — printed with painstaking care by the young professor's own hand and illustrated with his own drawings. It was his gift to the little girl who had inspired the tales. The rest is history. One of Dodgson's writer- friends saw a copy of the manuscript and urged that it be submitted to a publisher. Lewis Carroll (he had selected this pen name for his non- sense writings) took his story to London, where it was immediately accepted. On July 4, 1865, Lewis Carroll presented the first printed copy of Alice's Adventures to Alice Liddell. The book was an instant success; edition after edition was demanded by the public. A few years later, Carroll wrote another Alice book, Through the Looking Glass, which proved just as popular as the first. Yet while Lewis Carroll was becoming richer and winning greater renown each year, Charles Dodgson, the scholarly mathematician, went his untroubled way. He continued to live in the modest suite he had always occupied at Oxford. He continued to pursue mathematical truths and to set down his findings in learned dissertations. He grew older and wiser and even a little more serious than he had always been. And finally, one day in January, 1898, Charles Dodg- son died. It is here, perhaps, that the distinction between Charles Dodgson and Lewis Carroll is most mark- ed. For Carroll never aged. His delight in the companionship of children remained with him to the end—long after the real Alcie had grown up and married. And his store of new stories and poems for children was inexhaustible. Today, when the quiet old professor named Dodgson is almost forgotten, Lewis Carroll lives on—his memory immortalized in the hearts of each new generation of boys and girls all over the world. We also wish to introduce Barbara Ann Reavel, Union Street Grade School pupil, who is photographed through the book as Alice in Wonderland. Ii� r «•i '.J M k. white raWbit!

When Alice visited the English class- es, she found J. H. S. students adven- turing in their own private Wonder- land. More quickly than she could fall down a rabbit's hole, the class was in olde Englande reliving the lives of great English authors. Shakespearian plays and famous poems are magical- ly brought alive with modem record- ings and moving pictures. The intensive study of the history of literature from the Anglo-Saxon Age to the 20th Century gives each pupil a speaking acquaintance with the greats of the literary world and en- ables him to interpret these classics and apply their philosophy to present- day living. The Jabberwocky of current Eng- lish is straightened out by up-to-date grammar books and classroom discus- sion. Alice was as surprised at the au- dio-visual aids, current magazine dis- cussions, dramatic book reviews, and public speeches—fit for a president— as she was at the Cheshire Cat that disappeared. Yes, Alice was right at home in the Wonderland of J. H. S.'s English classes as the graduates will be at home in the adult world due to their excellent foundation in their na- tive language. Harry Sellers gives his public-speaking report Miss Ida Hawman's history class tf-iom out ojj the fiaAt . . . Hear ye, hear ye . . that was the cry of the town crier in the days when our country was just beginning to blossom into a free and independent nation. It is of little wonder that we marvel at the history of our country. Men like Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Washington and others who made our country what it is today, willingly and unselfishly gave their lives in the service of Democracy. Our History Department, under the direction of Miss Margaret Evans, teaches us this history. Cur- rent topics worked cleverly in with the regular ses- sions furnish a wide variety and a modernistic touch to the dry history lessons of yesterday. In the Ancient, English, and World history class- es, the downfall of the Roman empire, the glory of Greece, and the inspiring tales of freedom-seeking men are taught. History is relived with bloody phrases and awe inspiring sentences. It is written with the hardships of the pioneers of freedom. History is the recorded page and the time of man; a page of which we can be proud or ashamed, depending on us citizens of today.

And even more so when she saw the effi- cient teachers and students busily carrying on their work with the co-operation of true office workers. As the dictator's voice interrupted the prevailing silence, the pens of future stenographers glided swiftly across their shorthand pads. The adding machines sounded loudly as engrossed students computed rows and rows of figures. A clerical student opened the filing cabinet and immediately located a desired letter. As speedy fingers snapped determinedly away, the tapping of the keys intermingled with type- writer bells. Future lawyers stood before an imaginary court presenting their cases and defending their clients. Such were the scenes presented to the astonished Alice. When we ponder the Commercial Department, we, too, should become aware of the speed with which this department has gained importance. Perhaps courtesy, politeness, and perfect man- ners, which are the characteristics of the personnel of the business world, account for this swift climb. Both employer and employee must be efficient and businesslike, yet have an atmosphere of friendliness. These and other important details are con- stantly brought to the attention of our commercial students and put into practice as often as possible. The world cannot exist without business, and we can feel confident that our school is contributing the best material to this field of work. BACK ROW—Patsy Jenkins, Ruth Boyer. Kitty Lou Arthur.

(SEWING) From the sewing classes, headed by Miss Helen Hinchman, may emerge the dressmak- ers, designers, and tailors of future fashions. In the sewing classes these needle wielders learn sound and dependable fundamentals. The students were taught all phases of sewing —pattern adjustment; efficient methods to use in actual sewing; how to mark and cut a pat- tern accurately; and proper ways to assemble a garment. Not only were they taught to sew, but they were taught the points of good grooming; how to improve one's personal ap- pearance; how to choose figure flattering clothes, and how to choose correct colors. Sewing is a creative, artistic subject as well as a most practicable one. Students tak- ing sewing well realized the future usefulness, economy, and enjoyment derived from cre- ating a suit, dress, or any other garment. To them we say, Better clothes for better living. HOME ECONOMICS DEPT. (COOKING) The culinary art is well represented by Miss Marguerite Hinchman and her homemak- ing classes. Learning basic nutrition and good food habits is just one phase of their every- day activities. Movies on food, and talks on all aspects of cooking and correct marketing for foods, contributes to the knowledge required of a good homemaker. Then too, students were taught how to care for cooking utensils, choose and prepare all types of appetizing meals, set and decorate attractive tables for all occasions. Through this useful training we are cer- tain that these well-informed homemakers will have full control of their future homes. Since the home is the heart of the nation, good homemakers will aid in establishing the future se- curity of America. Home Economics Class learn to do it the correct way 7 healthy ho-dy tneank PHYSICAL EDUCATION Alice would truly be amazed to see the girls of J. H. S. build up their bodies in gym class. Every girl goes through the same punishment of tumbling, calisthenics, volleyball and basketball. Under the supervision of Miss Alice Rutledge, the girls learn the A. B. C.'s of good health. This is essential, for good posture is a part of everyday living as well as learning the three R's. This year the schedule started off with volleyball, then basketball, with a new set of rules to really run the girls ragged. After basketball the girls began calis- thenics. Tumbling, working on parallel bars, and good hard exercises to strengthen the body and slim down a few bulges. The girls lived through the year without a mishap, thanks to the carefulness of all. Through these methods of gymnastics Johnstown High's girls remain the pic- ture of health. a Uealtluf mind BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Keeping our boys in tip-top shape is a hard job, but Coach Clark Shaffer is doing his best. With the aid of Coaches Peter Fee and Paul Abele the supermen of Johnstown High are keeping their muscles in trim. Playing volleyball and basketball may seem easy but the boys must first learn the fundamentals of the game. All rules and regulations must be well understood to play a well-rounded game. Through these classes, boys develop coordination and leadership. Basketball and volleyball are not the only tactics the boys participate in. All sorts of calisthenics are worked on throughout the year. Working on parallel bars and tumbling are two units of work that produce outstanding talent. Exercises are not excluded by any means. Each are drilled thoroughly before actual games or gymnastics. The boys can take it; they are good sports. Let's make music! 7'Iviu the a iti tue team to. hue , . . FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Surely, our friend Alice was surprised when she walked into our Fine Arts Depart- ment. Surprised because of its wonderful opportunities. Students of art, directed by Mrs. Madge Rose, show definite talent. Through music appreciation, band, orchestra, and music harmony, students of J. H. S. have learned to appreciate music and Mr. Charles I. Aikey. The splendid chorus, directed by Miss Mary Weaver, is a delight. By presenting Christmas songs, popular songs, and concert work, students have been inspired to follow music as a career. The direction of the Na- tional Thespians and the class play cannot fall into better hands than those of Miss Edith Paul. Her fine work throughout the year in the field of dramatics is remarkable. Alice's conclusion was that through fine arts the students of J. H. S. have learned to cherish the finer things of life.

MATH DEPARTMENT The science of mathematics—what shall be said of the subject? This is a question much discussed by philosophers and mathematicians for a period of better than 2,000 years. Many have been the answers, but none have proved themselves final. It may be that the brains and wheels of the world have no definition for this subject, which mingles words, figures, and letters, into complex problems; however, the homework-laden high school mathemati- cian has this to say, Math is a subject taught to confuse the pupil into believing that xJ—x—6= 0. Now this may be the pupils atti- tude toward math at the beginning, but when all questions of doubt are erased he'll say, Well, I guess math isn't so hard after all. Thus we have another score chalked up for the Math Department for teaching the subject which has no definition. Miss Agnes Neary and class Sfieak U ttifLfiiHXfbf THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT French, Spanish, German, Latin—a person could almost become a professional linguist with this array of languages. Yet all are offer- ed to the students of J. H. S. by our Language Department. Through the study of the lang- uages, one can gain more knowledge about the habits and customs of these far-away peoples. The exploits of Emil und die Detecktive, as taught by Miss Agnes Neary will never be for- gotten by any German student. Miss Neary also leads the Latin enthusiasts back to the days of Achilles, Caesar and ancient Rome through the fascinating tales of Homer. Stu- dents learn to speak and enjoy El Espaniol through the instruction of Miss Helen Lockard. The head of the Language Department, Miss Josephine Young, teaches us how to Parlez- vous francais? With a background of one or more of these languages, the student also has a greater knowledge of our own English lang- uage and its derivations, which is one of the most important objectives of studying foreign languages. o t the to UfUe . . . Chemistry Laboratory vitali live to- dee pleat wa+uteld . . . When you hear good news you usually like to share it. Let us share the achievements of the Science classes. What do you think the outstanding event will be this year? As a sophomore a student studies biology, and upon entering high school enrolls in an advanced course in chemistry and later physiology. In chemistry the stu- dents find great enjoyment in working weight problems and watching movies flash on the screen, both of which act as the visual aids in teaching the subjects. These subjects are taught by Miss Sophia Moiles, Miss Louise Kunkle and Miss Nettie Showers. The students of Miss Kunkle were practicing weight problems and experimented with atoms striking electricity, while Miss Moiles' class was active with laboratory work in making hydrogen, and Miss Shower's physiology class was studying the different bones.

The sight of wheels turning, the sounds of the different machines, the smell of wood or ink would all tend to add to Alice's amazement. The signs around our halls would indeed be works of art to her, for this is her first adventure in our wonderland. Under the guidance of able teachers, the boys of the Vocational Department become very adept at their work and well prepared for the outside world. In the different shops can be seen the hustle and bustle of boys striving to finish their projects; ready to go on to something new. On the outside, employers soon learn that Johnstown High School pro- duces boys who are quick and eager to learn and to get ahead. Alice left the Vocational Department having learned where the boys of in- dustry learn the fundamentals.

The future “big-time editors who perform these duties to ' make the reading material of our year- book as interesting as the photography are the Senior members of the journal- ism class. These students not only wrote copy, but helped to organize the yearbook and collaborated with other staffs to make the Spectator an inter- esting book filled with novel ideas, clever pictures, and original art work. As quietly as Sherlock could have done it, they kept one step behind Alice in Wonderland and faithfully re- corded the immortal adventures on the pages of the Spectator for your enjoy- ment. Some of the journalism students have also been recognized nationally for their poetry. Now, the yearbook is completed and the Editorial staff must leave to make way for next year's staff and Spectator—1951! ht £ta(l How could any yearbook be considered complete without an art staff? We are certain a great deal would be lost with- out their creative ability. Under the direction of Mrs. Madge B. Rose, these artists have worked tediously and effectively to prepare the fine sketches throughout the book. Splattered ink spots, eraser dust, and crackling rice paper were just a few in- cidentals these artists worked through. First, they worked on rough pencil sketches, then proceeded to the small ink draw- ings. These masterpieces then went to the engraver. Our ar- tists have a great deal of talent, as it is easy to see. They are to be congratulated on a job well done. In the future, you can bet Johnstown High can boast some prominent artists from the class of 50.

Relax, it's only a representative of the Subscription Staff. These salesmen were responsible for ringing up the sales on our yearbook. Each fresh, inky copy of the Spectator carefully planned, printed, and bound would lie unused, unappreciated if the Subscription Staff did not do its part. Personality and good salesmanship go hand in hand in selling the Spectator. Our staff had it. So if anyone wants to pass out gold medals for good salesmanship, don't forget our Subscription Staff. Each home room teacher appoints a representative who practices his or her own charm of selling our school book. From the first day and on—when the representative announces the sale of the Spectator, stu- dents are haunted until finally they agree to buy a copy. Qet youn, money Watch the hildtie; looJz {Hetty; lit {Hetty Here they come! You have seen these snoopers around the halls and through the buildings. They are the camera fiends of J. H. S. This small group had charge of photos in the Spectator from the time the shutter snapped and the flash bulb flashed until the pictures were tucked safely away into the book. Editor of this fine job was Dolores Miller. Her assistant was Caroline Rehn. Mr. John Hesselbein's little helpers were Harry Hahn, Joseph Hayduk, and Julius Barrios. The editing and classification of pictures were handled by Doreen Chuba and Josephine Mauro. The entire group hopes you are well pleased and that you enjoy the picture review of the 1950 class.

Click - Clack - Click - Clack - Click - Clack TYPING STAFF Click, click, clank—no, it isn't a broken-down engine breathing its last or a joylul woodpecker invading our school. It is the Typing Stafl of the Spectator turning out precision copy for print. These go-getters, under the di- rection of Miss Shirley Grove, are the master minds of the typewriter key- board. On them depends the success of the Spectator and the Centralizer. On their shoulders fall the intricate and endless task of typing up all the copy for the Spectator, Centralizer and all contests. If you think it is nothing more than just typing you are sadly mistaken. Pity the poor gal who has the scribbler for her reporter. This character delights in combining Latin, French, and German into his copy. Not only does he do this but he forgets all periods, commas, and semicolons, and mis-spells all words. No wonder some of these girls are in a fit of hysteria or have completely lost their minds. If you are passing out any gold medals for hard-working students don't forget the vertebrae of the Spectator, the Typing Staff. PrUnte ii. ojj 'lo.mosi’io-w- GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB The Graphic Arls Club sponsored the local observance ol National Print- ing Education Week. This year the Fourteenth Annual Printing Banquet was held in the school cafeteria, Saturday, January 21. The club presented an as- sembly program, and a roller skating party was held at Skateland Rink, January 20. The following officers presided during the school term—Stephen Gojmerac. president; Walter Young, vice-president; Charles Mulvehill, secretary; Fred Azar, assistant secretary; William Smith, treasurer; Ronald Yost, sergeant- at-arms. Objectives of the organization are—to unite the students and instructors in the Graphic Arts Field for mutual and educational benefits; to emphasize the cultural and practical aspects of Graphic Arts Education; to stimulate pupils to appreciate and to use the several methods of graphic duplication for personal pleasure and social betterment; to encourage schools to improve their printing courses for educational purposes instead of using the printing department merely as a mechanical convenience; and to carry on a systema- tic exchange of ideas and samples of work between clubs and graphic arts instructors and educators.

Setiio-l boifk ujith idteali The senior branch of Young Men's Christian Association's Hi-Y organization has again in 1950 completed another year with a well-rounded program of activi- ties. This club is composed of a group of all-senior boys who believe that a club that lacks in social functions is not truly a club. With this as their guide, they held such affairs as barn parties and dances. The group also created and maintain- ed throughout the school and community high standards of Christian principles. The Alpha Hi-Y was a club of worth for both the school and for the individual members. Proof of this fact are the mem- bers who are a bunch of happy and con- tented fellows. Lett to Right—Fulton Connor, Jr., Tom Geist, Jimmy Devorick, Danny Manno, Harold Shirey, (in front) John Kabo. fluniosi b-O-ifk tuitli idte.at'i The year ended, we have witnessed one oi the smoothest clubs in Johnstown High School complete a well-rounded pro- gram. The club under the leadership of five officers, James Devorick, president; Fulton Connor, vice-president; John Kabo, secretary; Tom Geist, treasurer; Dan Manno, sergeant-at-arms; created and maintained high standards of Christian principals throughout the school and community. The Beta Hi-Y is also a group of boys who believe that all work and no play makes a dull club; so, with this in mind, the members planned and carried out a program which called for regular meetings, hayrides, and other social affairs which have made the Beta Hi-Y an outstanding group. The Girls' Athletic Association re-organized this year with an excess of pep and energy to burn. Every girl enjoyed playing in the tournaments. At all activities throughout the year the girls relaxed and had fun. The season's schedule started off with volleyball, while later on bas- ketball turned up to give the girls a new outlook to look forward to. All games were played in the gym after school under the supervision of Miss Alice Rutledge. G. A. A. members sold apples and refreshments at all home basket- ball games. Each girl who participated in this activity was awarded points. These points enabled her to eam a G. A. A. letter. Other programs the girls held were dances, parties, and a bake sale. Each was attended by a large crowd. Senior G. A. A. OPd, brnasit ta be vital ! I SgggSS Junior G. A. A. 4,tnan.t to be 4,tn.a uj. The G. A. A. is composed of junior and senior members who work and play together. The girls develop coordination and respect for others by this procedure. Citizenship through friendliness is taught at all meetings. These meet- ings were attended faithfully by the girls. G. A. A. officers use parliamentary procedure at meetings. Every junior and senior member had the same opportunity to partici- pate in all activities. Their activities were held in the gym after school hours. Dancing, singing, meeting new friends, and having good times were part of the program planned by the G. A. A.

Chosen by members of the faculty for their scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service in the school and community, forty students belong to the Touchstone Chapter of the National Honor Society. The group is spensored by Miss Mary D. Glenn, English instructor. Offi- cers are Richard Bollinger, president; Thelma Sipe, vice president; Helen Stutzman, secretary; and Charles Thomas, treasurer. In addition to impressive installation ceremonies held during an assem- bly program on March 10, the unit had a gay time at its annual banquet last April. Other members of the club are Joanne Avramis, Sara Jean Belz, Ida Berke- bile, Phyllis Bretz, Barbara Carthew, Patricia Crock, Helen Davis, Ruth Ditko, Beverly Eisele, Alice Glessner, Alma Glock, Betty Hockey, Shirley Horvath, Joanne Keefer, Betty Kozak, Martha Krise, Constance Lincoln, Alice Lindsay, Jeanne Ling, Carmelo Magistro, Despina Morgan, Edmund Palko, Rudolph Pavic, Constance Pugh, Ann Rose, Bernice Schrott, Patricia Schwartz, Gay Shauley, Pauline Sottile, Suzanne Stockton, Helen Vargo, Jacqueline Wagner, Mark Weimer, Donna Young, and Marian Zubal. 74 , tlte beautiful . . . From out of the past to Johnstown High, come the famous Greek words To Kaaron Enomeoa which mean We Seek the Beautiful. Twenty girls are chosen from each senior class to become members of T. K. E. Club. Leadership, ability, scholarship and personality must be qualities of a girl who is chosen for this club. The members seek to fulfill their ambitions by seeking for beauty and value in every phase of life. This year T. K. E. and Key Club together sponsored an Autumn dance, The Hard Times Party, which was held in the audion. Miss Sophia Moiles is faculty ad- viser to the group. The officers are president, Patty Schwartz; vice-president, Jo Ann Spires; recording secretary, Thelma Sipe; social secretary, Ida Berkebile, and treasurer, Betty Hockey.

Student government is the foundation upon which student life and happiness rest. At the beginning of each school year a representative and an alternate are elected from each English class to repre- sent the student body. These representa- tives present problems before the Student Council and, with the aid of the faculty and Mr. Charles Boyer, try to solve the problems. The major project of the 1949-50 Stu- dent Council was the preparation of a handbook to aid the 1950 juniors. They also sponsored numerous enjoyable mo- vies, including the old silent films. The Junior-Senior Hop, a gala valentine party held in the Audion February 3, was spon- sored by this organization.

ORCHESTRA With the wave of Mr. Charles Aikey's baton the orchestra strikes its first note for rehearsal. During the past year the audion, first period Tuesday and Wednesday, was the scene for rehearsal. Due to the shortage of talented musicians our orchestra was small in 1950. Even so we all are proud of the orchestra and all agree it is tops. The Johnstown High Orchestra consisted of twenty-five members; five seniors and twenty juniors. Among the many songs which filled the ears of music lovers were Syncopated Clock by Anderson, In a Persian Market, Slavonic Rhapsody No. 2, and My Maryland. The chanting of musical instruments was heard by many students in class rooms while the orchestra rehearsed for perfection. The orchestra played processional and recessional music for the senior class play and commencement night. Deserving commendation and much praise on his fine work, we bow to the director, Mr. Charles Aikey. 7Ite Land in the land . . . Our band—1950 style .... straight columns of blue and black, filling the air with martial music .... our band at football games amusing the fans with such antics as The Hop Scotch Polka .... our band setting every foot to rhythmic tapping through the invigorating strains of Charlotte Harbor Stamp .... our band taking top awards at all pa- rades because of its fine music and marching techniques .... this is a picture of our band directed by Mr. Charles I. Aikey. A great success in the way of accomplishment this year was the Spring Concert. Two highlights of the concert were those numbers directed by student director Dick Cuppett and assistant Allen Pebley. But the success of the band didn't just happen spontaneously. Much work and practice went into the rehearsals held every Tuesday and Thursday evening and during regular school periods. This year, band president was Dick Harris; Robert D. Smith, the vice-president. Patty Schwartz took care of the treasury while Alma Glock acted as his- torian. Eight J. H. S. musicians were accepted into the 1949 District Band, and Mary Jo Ham- ilton made the grade for All-State Band with her versatile oboe playing. Accomplishments galore have been achieved by our instrumentalists of 105 strong. May they always be proud to say, Sure, we belonged to the Johnstown High Band—1950 style. 2 a - be - mi - - do - la - 4 - o CHORUS From sophisticated jazz to sacred music, the J. H. S. chorus proved most versatile. Although they struggled with notes and scales, dissonance and syncopation, students provided pleasing entertainment for the school audi- ence. With the waving of her proficient baton, Miss Mary H. Weaver trans- forms an untrained group of talent into a finished organization. Throughout the year the chorus featured an outstanding program at Christmas and in the spring. When one becomes a member of the chorus, he not only has the pleasure of singing with a group, but develops a deeper appreciation and understanding of fine music! One of the most prominent features of the year was the televising of the I- H. S. chorus presenting the famous Hallalujah Chorus,” from the noted Oratorio, the Messiah.” This occurred simultaneously with the Cambria Free Library s announcement of finding the second authentic original edi- tion of Handel's world-famous Messiah.” We are certain the J. H. S. chorus has helped to make television history. All in all this has been an outstanding year for the J. H. S. songsters. Seek and ye ihall jfi+td THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club experiments in the Wonder World of Science would make Alice's Wonderland seem anything but fascinating. This club, under the supervision of Miss Sophia Moiles, was organized for the purpose of giving the members a more thorough knowledge of science as a future study. The club meets twice a month, and at the meetings projects dealing with any field of science are presented and explained by individual members. The projects are later prepared for exhibition at the Buhl Planetarium in Pitts- burgh. Representatives of the club also attend affairs such as the Regional Meeting of the Junior Academy of Science and the Junior Academy's state meeting. In the latter part of every year a bus is chartered for the members to go to the Science Fair in Pittsburgh. Thus, by meetings, projects, trips, and fairs, the Science Club achieves their purpose—that is, to give members a better understanding of science as a future study. Serving as officers for the group of juniors and seniors this year were Rudolph Pavich, president; Richard Borecky, vice-president; Richard Bollinger, treasurer; and Alice Lindsay, secretary. ii . n Qaad timeA ut ie. Joe Ondrejik, Vann Johnson, and Dan Oravec BOYS' PEP CLUB Lipstick, dresses and paddles are always com- mon around J. H. S. in September. Some of the juniors were probably wondering what was hap- pening. It isn't hard to explain. New members of the Boys' Pep Club were initiated into the club with a glorious bang. It took days for some of the boys to return to normal condition. The joint dance held with the Girls' Pep Club was a great success. Decorations were really attractive. When all the decorating was completed, it appeared as if a well-kept farm had moved to the I. H. S. gym. As in previous years, Mr. Archie Swanger gave his help and advice for the better- ment of the club. This year it was decided that the club members would purchase a better-looking jacket. The final decision was a long style wool coat, which would be the symbol of the Boys' Pep Club. The officers are president, Joe Ondrejik; secre- tary, Van Johnson, treasurer, Dan Oravec. had by all . . . GIRLS' PEP CLUB Each year at J. H. S., thirty girls go through mild torture to become members of one of the school's most popular clubs, the Girls' Pep Club. This year's initiation proved to be quite notorious. The ceremony included a parade across town with students dressed in nightgowns and burlap sacks, and finally, dancing at the Teen Canteen. The next day proved interesting, for sights of heavy make- up, oiled hair, and baby bottles were seen every- where. The annual initiation dance was a huge success with swirling gowns, dashing cavaliers and sweet music from a second Vaughn Monroe. Remember the pep rallies at Roxbury? These rallies, the hit of the football year, were staged with the help of the Pep Club. Besides the job of being peppy at football and basketball games, the girls added a touch of hap- piness for children at the Cambria City Mission by sending Christmas gifts. Nancy Todorich, Ann Colley, Nancy Kern, joan Rudge fallow- the tsiue and the nicjltt Girls! Girls! And more girls! These bundles of beauty represent the Senior Y-Teens. The club is associated with the local Y. W. C. A. Their activi- ties are part of the Y program. This year the girls sponsored dances, bake sales, co-ed swimming, and bowling. The big event of the year was the Baby Contest of Johnstown High students. Many girls also participated in the Memorial Hospital Nurse's Aide program. Early in September the senior members initiated the juniors. This day Johnstown High had an ex- cess of coal miners parading through the halls. Remember?

The Officers' Club, of course! Conceived by Student Council to smooth out difficulties caused by several club meetings usually scheduled at the same time, and to give officers training in parliamentary procedure, this club was organized. Officers of all school clubs automatically become mem- bers. James Ortiz, president; Patty Schwartz, vice-president; Betty Hockey, secretary; and Lee Ross, treasurer, are the officers of Officers' Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Ray- mond Morgan and the sponsorship of the Johnstown Cham- ber of Commerce, several highly informative programs were presented at meetings.

The Key Club, organized four years ago at J. H. S., shows definite signs of being one of the best clubs in the school. This year the club had a varied program. With the Christmas spirit in mind, Key Club members went carolling to Mercy Hospital. Members do- nated money, and a basket of food was bought for a needy family in Johns- town. One of the most talked about events was the movie Laura. The movie was a success because of the large attendance by the students. The dance held in the audion was also a success. A variety of recorded music along with entertainment was featured at the dance. This year a large num- ber of boys attended the Key Club conference at Bradford, Pennsylvania. Mr. Ralph Gillman and Mr. Archie Swanger are the teacher advisers of the club. 'dlte.y, lea'll noadt tnatimnA, . . . DRIVING SCHOOL “Depress the clutch, start the engine, “shift to low, and engage the clutch were familiar phrases to the students of driving school. In addition to being taught the safety rules and regulations in class, students were given actual instruction in driving. With the “dual-control driver-training cars, equipped with extra clutch and brake pedals, the instructor is able to con- trol any mistakes made by beginners. Through trained guidance, beginners develop into the skilled motorists of the future. Mr. Harry J. Klahre, expert instructor of the school, declared, “The course strives to develop the proper attitude toward driv- ing responsibilities, instill a knowledge and understanding of traffic regulations, and create accurate driving habits. Know- ing how to drive in itself is a pleasure, knowing how to drive safely with technical skill, and courteous road manners toward fellow drivers and pedestrians, is an art.

This was the theme of their program this year because their major project was the independent production of the three-act com- edy You Can't Take It with You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, on December 9th. New members were inducted in October at a formal initiation ceremony. December featured caroling. Sub- merged, an engrossing drama, was given in January. Robert Ebert, staff announcer for W. A. R. D., spoke on the opportunities in radio in February. March was Na- tional Theatre Month.. The annual banquet was held in May. The year really began in June, 1949, for several mem- bers who attended the Third National Dramatic Arts Con- ference at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, In- diana. Others attended the district conference at York, Pennsylvania, April 14-15, 1950. The officers for the year were Anthony Del Signore, president; Connie Lincoln, vice-president; Alice Lindsay, secretary; and Janet Kipp, treasurer. Places! Aetion! Curtain! And the figures before us sud- denly come alive. This year in dramatics, classwork stressed the development of acting principles by actual productions of one-act plays and on April 28 by the class play, Lost Horizon, based on the novel by James Hil- ton, and dramatized by Anne Colter Martens and Christo- pher Sergei. Miss Edith Paul, director. The play presents the story of four people kidnapped from a flying field in India and taken to the exquisite but mysterious Shangri-La, somewhere in Tibet, and their reactions to the prevailing tranquil atmosphere. The cast included Connie Lincoln, Harry Hahn, Alice Lindsay, Dan Oravec, Suzanne Stockton, Joseph Ondre- jik, Jean Evans, Charles Thomas, Elaine Mull, Bob Bush, Jean Ling, Anthony Del Signore, Martha Krise, Richard McHenry, and John Palmer. In November, the Thespians gave the delightful com- edy, You Can't Take It With You. The story revolved around the zany Sycamore family to whom enjoying life was more important than money or position. James Freidhoff, Helen Stutzman, Darby Fulton, Con- nie Lincoln, Dan Oravec, Alice Lindsay, George Wright, Inez Zubrod, Jack Brenton, James Ortiz, Suzanne Stockton, Stanley Kupersmith, Joseph Ondrejik, Elaine Mull, An- thony Del Signore, Martha Krise, Don Baretincic, James Owens and William Blaschak composed the cast.

PRINT SHOP Printing, The Mother of Progress, plays an important role in the activity program at J. H. S. Under the leadership of Mr. Joseph B. Coyle, the Print Shop boys have been a credit to their school. The Centralizer, the school di- rectory, play tickets, letterheads, envelopes, sports schedules, programs for dances, plays, and the football banquet, and numerous other jobs furnish the nucleus that keep the linotype and presses humming. No drones here! All the boys worked side by side with the seniors setting the pattern for the juniors. These boys will emerge as our future printers which are so neces- sary in this modern day and age. Mr. Coyle gave the boys jobs which cor- respond to those they will find in the outside world.

With a sparkling dash of color and a little ingenuity, these boys make attractive and eye-catching posters for the school activities. The Athletic Department also keeps these paint happy fellows at work. Making the attractive signs for the basketball and football games the Trojans play, and painting the gigantic welcome sign is a chore in itself. The boys of the Sign Shop this fall painted all rows, seats and section numbers on the seats of the Point Stadium. Also keeping them on their toes was the Class Play and assemblies which demanded painted scenery and placards. During the course, these youthful painters of tomorrow learn simple let- tering, silk screen process, how to make original showcards, and the actual painting of the huge advertising signs which offer a change in the surround- ing scenery.

No matter how modern and streamlined these cars become, they manage to find their way into the repair shops. Each year Johnstown High School graduates more boys to take their places in those repair shops, boys of which anyone can be proud. The boys who elected auto mechanics for their work have classes at Cochran Junior High School and Garfield Junior High School. Simonizing, fixing motors, body and fender repairs, and auto painting made up the rost- ers of the future auto repairmen. With Mr. Charles E. Thomas and Mr. Frank Meyers as their directors, the boys surged ahead to make this year a year of learning. Once these boys are established, car owners need never be afraid to take their cars to repairmen from the Johnstown High School Auto Shops. Machined handled with efficiency MACHINE SHOP The vocational boys in the Machine Shop receive excellent training under the direction of Mr. Charles Wonders. This shop offers instruction to the boys who wish to enter local industries after graduation. Other vocational shops are provided with parts and fittings from the Machine Shop. If Wood Shop needs lathe centers, they send to Machine Shop and there they are made to order. Electric Shop, Print Shop and Sheet Metal Shop are supplied with parts such as bushings for motors, set screws and handles, and steel rollers or groovers. The boys of the Machine Shop are always willing to help. There, work is done well and accurately. Through this course America's future machinists are training to take their part in industry.

ELECTRIC SHOP Have you ever wondered where this world would be if there were no electric lights; no electric refrigerators, stoves, motors or any possible elec- trical contrivance? Of course, we have no need to worry about a situation like that because electricians have kept electricity in check for over one hundred years. The boys in the electric shop here at Johnstown High School have learned to keep electricity in check, too. Under the direction of Mr. Edgar Salkeld, these boys have learned much during the two years they spent here. After having mastered the use of the wire gauge and learned the use of the various sizes of wires, the boys started right to work. Making motors, winding and changing armatures, splicing wire, and installing concealed knob and tube wiring, are the various jobs performed by the boys of the electric shop. Part of the year is used to study theory, or the principles of electricity. This gives the boys the fundamentals so badly needed in any line of work.

WOODWORK The men of the saw and hammer were as industrious as beavers this year. The classes were well organized and each student wore a brown uniform for work. The laborers of Mr. Clair Younkin produced some thirty art tables for Cochran Junior High School, remodeled the Johnstown High School shop and the tables of Electric Shop. This year the woodworkers used several machines that have not been in use for some time. These machines, along with the old standbys, were in constant use as chips and sawdust fell by the way on daily projects, such as mail boxes and picture frames which were turned out by these skilled workmen this year. With this valuable experience and fine teaching behind them they will become tomorrow's carpenters.

SHEET METAL SHOP Work is the theme in Mr. Bruce Ater's Sheet Metal Shop. In the junior year, the boys learn how to use the different tools and the duties of the trade. These pre-apprentices are taught the various metals and their manu- facturing processes. The fellows start by making simple objects such as cups and cans. When they become greying seniors and learn how to weld, fold, bend, and seam metal, they are able to build such things as rowboats, rain spouting, and ash trays. For Christmas, they made tiny houses for under Christmas trees. After two years of work in this shop, they are so trained as to be of use in the world of tomorrow.

PLUMBING SHOP The Plumber Protects the Health of the Nation, is the slogan these plumbers try to uphold as they study their trade. Plumbing plays a direct part in health and sanitation. After mastering such fundamentals as joint wiping and soldering work, students have a firm foundation for their senior work. Seniors are taught theory, drawing techniques, and practical work. Making hand-carved chests was a privilege given to students of high standing. Almost all the students are given gold-plated faucets upon com- pletion of their trade work. This signifies two completed years in Plumbing Shop, with all phases of shop work successfully completed. Those who are fortunate enough to obtain an apprentice job, find excellent preparation for the journeyman's examination. If you have a leaking faucet in your house we are positive these boys could give some efficient help.

Clark Shaffer, Garlinski, Fee and Abele Qoad d a t nandltifi - win osl laie! FOOTBALL Johnstown High School's football team is one to be proud of. Although play- ing the toughest teams in the state, the Men of Troy won seven while dropping three. Only one loss was to a WPIAL-AA conference team. The reason for such a fine season was because of the unity of the squad. From the first minute of pre-season training at Camp Reynolds to the final whistle at the Bethlehem game ,the squad acted as one big happy family. Under the direction of head coach E. Clark Shaffer and assistants Pete Fee, Mike Garbinski, and Paul Abele, the Trojans were known far and wide for their excellent physical fitness and sportsmanship. Throughout the year brilliant performances were turned in by the starting lineup: All-State end. Rip Hemmer; linemen Chuck DeArmy, Steve Milkovich, Jim Minana, Chuck Bassinger, Ron Yarnick, John Barron; and backs, Julius Toarmina, Frank Minana, Curt Haselrig, and Ted Rainey. All of these boys are seniors. Left Guard Chuck” De Army scores J. H. S. vs. ERIE STRONG VINCENT The Trojans started off the season with a bang by swamping Erie Strong Vincent 41-19. Johnstown's defense was poor in the first half but this was remedied at the half time intermission. In the second half, the Trojan line quickly halted all scoring attempts of the Black and Red. The offense was sparked by Mr. Outside” Taormina and Mr. Inside, Ted Rainey. J.H. S. vs. NEW KENSINGTON The Men of Troy made it two in a row as they whipped New Ken- sington 20-0. It was their powerful offense again as they reached pay dirt after drives of 80, 78, and 35 yards. The first score came on Curt Haselrigs run which ended in a lateral to Chuck DeArmy, who went the rest of the way. The other two T. D's came on plunges, one by Ted Rainey and one by Curt Haselrig. J. H. S. vs. WINDBER Before a stadium packed with 15,- 000 screaming sport lovers, the Windber Ramblers knocked Johns- town from the undefeated ranks by a 25-7 setback. Link Yonkers’ pow- erful running and Bernie” Washko's aerials were the one-two punches needed to floor the Trojans. The Shaffermen were hitting hard but the men in blue and white just wouldn't go down. J. H. S.'s only score came on Chuck DeArmy's scamper down the sideline. J. H. S. vs. REDSTONE Striking back after last week's stinging 25-7 loss, the Trojans wal- loped Redstone 25-0. The Johnstown running attack clicked and the back- field ripped off huge chunks of yard- age. Tarp Taormina and Curt Haselrig did some outstanding run- ning. The former back went 77 and 28 yards for two blue and black scores. j. h. s. vs. McKeesport McKeesport threw a wet blanket over the Trojan fire that was burn- ing in hopes of a W. P. I. A. L. cham- pionship by squeezing past the Shaf- fermen 12-6. Frank Patera, 190-pound quarterback, was the proverbial thorn in the Trojan side as he gal- loped 41 yards on a quarterback sneak for one six pointer and pass- ed for the other count. Left guard Chuck DeArmy scored his fifth T. D. in as many games. This time he fell on a Tiger punt that had been blocked by little Sam McClemens. J. H. S. vs. JEANNETTE The Johnnies squeezed past Jean- nette Jayhawks at Jeannette 6-0. J. H. S. stymied the Jayhawks as they made gain after gain via the air- ways. There were but two minutes remaining in the final period when Frank Minana hit Rip Hemmer with a beautiful five yard flip for the score. J. H. S. vs. ALTOONA Playing the ’’best losing team in the state, the Shaffermen wrung out a thrilling 24-20 victory over Al- toona. The last quarter was jam packed with excitement as the Johns scored three times to come from be- hind. “Tarp Taormina flashed over from the three yard line in the last 48 seconds to insure the victory. J. H. S. vs. GREENSBURG The Men of Troy took the role of spoilers as they knocked the Greens- burg Lions from the W. P. I. A. L. race 13-0. After a recovered fumble on the three, Ted Rainey bulled and battered his way through the line for the score. Taormina's 4 yard smash off right tackle for a second touch- down was the payoff of a sustained 58 yard drive. J. H. S. vs. CHARLEROI The combined efforts of Julius Ta- ormina and the Minana to Hemmer pass combination proved too much for the Cougars as J. H. S. downed Charleroi 20-13. “Tarp was the big reason for the 239 to 171 advantage in net rushing. He scored one touch- down on an 80 yard sprint. Minana hit Hemmer with three of eight pass- es attempted, for 108 yards and two T. D.'s. J. H. S. vs. BETHLEHEM In a hard-fought Turkey Day game, the Bethlehem Hurricanes squeezed past the Trojans 20-14. Taormina and Gmuca, who played defensive ball most of the year were standouts. Julius reeled 35 yards for one score and Gmuca flipped a five yard pass to Fudge Syczur for the other one. All of the players who started the game will be gone next year due to graduation. De Army awaits hand-off from Haselrig the net Presenting the wonder team! That's what the blue and black basketballers were called, the won- der team of Johnstown and surrounding basketball communities. Starting the season off with only two returning lettermen. Coach Paul Abele assembled a rather green outfit on the floor to pit its knowledge of the court to that of Connellsville. The wonder or wonderful Trojans proved much the brighter, as they did in all but four games. The climax of this Cinderella story is the winning of the Tri-County title, which has slipped past us for the past few years. With much thanks from the student body for making the 1949-1950 senior year a championship year, we now present the wonder team—Ernie Ora- vetz, Dick Lucas, Eugene Bacha, Rip Hemmer, Archie Murphy and substitute players Bob Rainey and Ray Gmuca who knew how to keep the situation well in hand when called upon.

The outstanding member of the team was Ed Palko who dived undefeated the entire season. On January 28 against Butler, the Medley Relay comprised of Bob Ko- valic, Wally Kovalchick and Emery Orozco set a Y.W.C.A. pool record of 1:51 for that event, breaking the old record of 1:53 previously set by John James, Paul Pfuhl and Bob Orozco in 1948. Five of the swimmers attended the individual championship meet at Carnegie Tech, Pitts- burgh, February 25. An All American Apait . . . BASEBALL The cheering you heard this spring wasn't for the Pirates, Dodgers, Yankees, or Red Sox; but rather for the Trojan baseball team. From the first two weeks of conditioning, until the final out, all the players worked diligently. Bruises, scratches, and scars were frequent, but all these were washed away by the smile of victory. Donning their uniforms every day at 3:00 P.M., the candidates played and practiced; seldom hanging up their flannels before 6:00 P.M. The Little Johnnies” are charter members of the Tri-County League. This league consists of two sections. In the first are Ferndale, Southmont, West- mont, Indiana, and J. H. S. while Conemaugh Township, Windber, Richland, Conemaugh, and Adams Township make up the second. The spirit of competition is growing and is drawing more and more pub- lic attention. The schedule called for the Trojans to meet each team in its section twice, plus two games with Altoona. Our attendance at home was far better than the away games, thus proving that Johnstown is still base- ball-minded. We all hope that some day, competition in the Tri-County League will be so keen that this vicinity will be a haven for major league scouts. Till then . . . the best of luck to the entire J. H. S. baseball team. h+toui ham to tangle Wrestling, a four-year-old sport in Johnstown High School, also was part of the school's activities in '50. The wrestling team .under the coaching abil- ity of Mr. Garbinski, completed a fairly successful year. The team captured four wins while suffering five defeats and one draw with the Indians from Conemaugh. To complete the season of ten matches, the Trojans slapped a 25-16 defeat on Windber. To obtain a letter for wrestling, a student must wrestle 50% of the matches. Of the twenty-two boys out for wrestling this year, only thirteen of these will be eligible for letters. All in all the year of 1950 has seen one of the most popular sports of the time being carried out most successfully in Johnstown High School. Hartnett and McClemens have a friendly argument. Relt fjO-oi IfO-tuaatid TRACK Through mud and rain, storm and sunshine, our track team carried the banners valiantly for J. H. S. Dashes, relays, high jumping, broad jumping, long runs, shot put, discus, and pole vaulting rounded out the season's work. Damp weather every year limits the thinclads to the gym- nasium, short runs in the third floor hall, and brisk waks to West- mont via the easy grade, to work out the stiff muscles. As soon as weather permitted, the Trojans took to the outdoors. As would be expected, the first few days were hard on the boys, but they soon became adjusted to the chilly weather. This year's team was blessed with many holdovers from last year. These boys lifted the team's morale which led to a very successful track season.

J-o-h-n-s-t-o-w-n Ra-ra-ra-ra J-o-h-n-s-t-o-w-n This is one of the many cheers the vivacious pepper-uppers of J. H. S. exe- cute during a fast-moving football or breath-taking basketball game played by our pride and joy —the Trojans. Top-man-on-the-totem-pole was Nancy Kerns, a gal who is really on the ball. Her sparkling co-workers were Nancy Fisher, Pat Crock, Alice Colbert, Jane Fleck, Faye Pearman, Barbara Hartnett and Shirley Hepborn. These gals really had the knack to dress up the old cheers with the new look. They popped up as whistle- bait at the games with snazzy motions to the same old cheers. This year these economy-sized vitamin pills really brought home the bacon. They took first place in the Annual Cheerleading Contest sponsored by Southmont. More than a dozen schools competed and the competition was rugged. But we came through with flying colors. The winning team sponsors the contest the following year and are ineligible to compete. The cheers and motions were strictly original. 9ti Ima it ta be vitall FOR HEALTH'S SAKE Each year, high schools stress more and more the importance of good physical development by providing more extensive gym activities. Here is a resume of the girls gym work and sports during the 1949-50 term. The first six weeks were devoted to marching tactics, calisthenics, and suit- able relay games to get the students accustomed to exercise after the long vacation. Then they learned the rules of playing volleyball; and after competing against each other, a champion team was crowned in each class. Volleyball was followed by bas- ketball. Again, the fundamentals of the game were learned before participating in actual play. After teams were formed, the same type of competition was carried out here as was carried out in volleyball. Square dancing, an excellent form of physical education, was the next phase of work. Here, students were required to learn all the calls used in their square dance formations. Apparatus work concluded the gym activities. This consisted of stall bars, parallel bars, the horse, and mat work. It is very difficult to say just which sport the girls enjoy most, but basket- ball is sure to rank high on the list of favorites.

The faiths of all creeds and races Find shelter in this lightray's spectrum. Only a large, lifeless marble slab Marks the memory of those who died that we . . Altar . . . stained glass windows . . . symbols Meager adornment for a room illuminated By faiths, hopes, and loves of one world. In this simple, cylindrical structure . . . Only faith in a Supreme Being, Who may be sought for in divers ways; Only hope that the sixth commandment Will never again be broken. Only love for all men—nothing more! ETERNAL BATTLE By Thelma Sipe Whirling, circling, with goal unknown. Rush ideas through my brain. Stumbling, pushing, crowding past. Shoot my restless, ceaseless thoughts. Oh, peace! smother the dull ache Of dreams that stiffle calm. Of dreams that suffocate All chance of happiness. LOVE By Alice Lindsay What is love? Love is laughter, Tinkling bell-like Across the water. An excited whisper— A murmuring reply— The sound of music In a slumbering room. A living vine. Circling tight around the heart. The intensity of a fire That leaps and grows And dies unless The glowing coal Is cherished. NIGHT By Don Davis '51 If you’ve ever walked the streets at night, How wonderful it can sound. The crickets crooning on their harps. Bring music full and round. The wind upon your barren face. It makes you feel alive. The clicking of your footsteps, All seem to coincide. The streetlight casts a shadow. So weird and yet so tame, Of lovers saying, Good-night, good-night, 'Till we meet again. The stars, the moon, the clouds above. They seem to say aloud, See what you'd be missing. If night ne'er came around. THE MOON By Jo Ann Spires The moon is so yellow and round tonight, As it glides o'er the sky with a smile. It plays peek-a-boo with the clouds in its flight, Never to pause and rest for awhile. It has continually lighted man's darkened night. Since the time of the earth's creation. It spreads to every land its light. And welcomes each new generation. A WISH By Jo Ann Spires I wish I could sit on the crescent. And swing along in the evening sky, I would count all the heavenly bodies. And if any were absent, ask why. Near to the stars and planets I'd sail. But I would stay far away from the sun. I would examine each object in great detail, Oh, gee, wouldn't that be fun? I would see the great stars in the milky way. And perhaps hear a comet whiz by. I would watch the night slowly turn into day. And know my journey was nigh. TRILOGY By Richard D. Wever BIRTH LIFE Like a ray of light Piercing low, lengthy shadows. The breath of birth heaves forth A lusty cry and lives. What lies ahead? He knows not— Cares little. This child, growing of the sown Seed of man, now lives. The world surrounding him Is large and heavy; He is small and filled with Effervescent light. Those about him are Bathed in this light And are cleansed. Radiant warmth is his to give And he gives his all Making people love. DEATH Like a dark black whirlpool With her depth unknown, She called me to the door. I tried but in vain. To close my ears to her shrill metallic beckoning Again she howled her eerie cry; Almost inaudible, heard only to me! Meant only for me....... I couldn't see her— You can't see Death. You grasp and grope, ever Touching nothing........ You can't feel Death. You can only know death—and then only once. I know death; she has called me o'er The threshold of my heart. Like the vibrant, rich staccato Of the drums, The deep and mellow organ playing Gently swaying. Youth goes on its way. Occupation of his manhood Holds his life In strict routine. The day Gone by, the day tomorrow— Both are held in quick concurrence— Manhood has had its day. Decline of life is on its way— Old and hoary. He appears a Rough, unshaven face of silver. Archaic! Life starts bitter decay. Scholastic Lumbd lAJutneiS Scholastic, National High School Magazine, sponsors each year Writing and Art Award Contests for all high school students.
