THIS BooK represents the friendly spirit and ref lationship that forms a binding inf fluence in our school life. Friend- ships formed now last throughout life, and good friends who become separated in later years look back with wistful nostalgia to their activif ties and escapades in high school. With this thought in mind, the class of 1938 presents this Yearbook to all its friends in the other classes. his tireless efforts in his capacity as adviser of publications have commanded the admiration of all. by wise example and tactful suggestions he has helped to form well-adjusted personalities. he radiates a contagious friendliness that has won him the affec- tion and respect of countless students and friends.

J ulia White AFTER a look into the yearbooks of the past three years it became apparent that a res- ume of the histories of the Class of '38 given in those books, plus an account of this year's activities might prove to be interesting. So going back to 1935 we read that our freshman historian sketched the class as a block of granite being prepared for the Norwin hall of fame. First year studies and a few activities polished the stone while engineers, John Stouffer, Carthrae Laffoon, and Mildred Medic, directed it into place. The ingredients mortar that we used came from all the ing districts of the Irwin borough. September 3, 1935, landed on a new planet, Sophland. Another ship coming from the junior Highland strengthened our numbers. A new class president, Charles Ridl, had Stan Thomas and Julia White helping him govern our stay on this fertile planet. Under this leadership the class gained a reputation of true Norwinites. 1936 and upperclassmen at last! The foun- dation of activitites we had gradually devel- oped during the last two years commanded our attention. Thirty-eighters earned places in football and basketball lineups. The staff of the paper and the annual found ambitious writers in our ranks. The shows and glee- clubs of the music department used many for the out ly- warbling juniors. Mike Karazin was the only new class oflicer. His majority of election votes made him vice president. The class officers planned a night in a Valencia garden with the music of jimmy Bray's orchestra for the junior-Senior Recep- tion. Juniors had their new class rings for jewelry that night. A telegram late in May told the Class of '38 that they had finally taken place of a senior group. We had a three-month vacation to gather the dignity we needed as the senior class. Early in September the class functioned as a body and selected Charles Ridl and julia White for their third consecutive year as president and secretary. Carthrae Lalioon was elected vice president. Activities invited the class to assume their leadership. Classmates starred in football, bas- ketball, golf and tennis. The paper flourished with '38 leaders. Sweet strains floated forth from tender senior voices in the music room. Seniors built the administrations' new activity program, a valuable foundation for their next year's work. Social programs crowded our last days. The Juniors feted us with an elaborate Prom. Bac- Culareate and Commencement ended our stay at Norwin. 19 U 'GHQADUATLES Atwood Altman Apple Alcorn Anderson Allshouse Anthony Adams Baxter HENRIETTA ATWOOD-Ycfin-Comniercialg Class Volleyball 15 Class Basketball 15 Art Club 45 A personality that has earned for her many devoted chums ss,,,.., JAMES ALTMAN--jim-Academicg Nor-win Business Staff 3, 45 Dramatics Club 35 Stage Craft 35 Hi-Y Club 4. .......

P aul Teske Vice Preridenl ....... ....,.... J ack Creighton Secretary ......, Norma Neiman AFTER completing eight years in various elementary schools, two hundred freshmen made their debut at Norwin High School on Sep- tember 3, 1935. What a versatile group they turned out to be! Under the capable leader- ship of Paul Teske as president, John Creigh- ton as vice president, and Helen O'Bradovic as secretary, the freshman class began their trek in the pursuit of higher education. To our surprise and pleasure we found that our school routine was to be enlivened by many enjoy- able social functions-the high spot being the annual Freshman-Sophomore Party. With re- gret we closed our first year in high school with an old event and a new one-the School Picnic and Class Day. When another September made its appear- ance we took our stand among our schoolmates as sophisticated sophomores. This year we were joined by the junior High School stu- dents. In due course of time we re-elected Paul Teske as president, Yee Doo Tuey as vice president, and Helen O'Bradovic as secretary. Having overcome the shyness of freshmen, we began to take a dehnite interest in the extra- curricular activities. We were not surprised to find many of our classmates belonging to the Press Club, Orchestra, Leaders Club and numerous others. Then too, the social events of the former year proved to be forerunners of the more elaborate functions which we found to be so much more attractive this year. The more athletically inclined were given the op- portunity to display their ability at the All- School Circus which was given for the benefit of the Band. After the presentation of our annual operetta it seemed no time until we closed our second year at Norwin High. As juniors in our third year we had gained the distinction of upperclassmen. Once again we chose our officers who were to lead us through the coming year. Paul Teske was chosen as president for the third consecutive time, John Creighton as vice president, and Norma Neiman as secretary. With the com- pletion of the annex, we had to arrange our schedules for full day sessions rather than for the former half day sessions. After the pur- chase of our class rings there remained but one more outstanding event in our third year-the junior-Senior Prom, which was a grand suc- cess.

D avid Ed Secretary ,....,.., ,..... F aye Perkins ADVENTURE! What a variety of mean- ing is implied in that one word. It may mean penetrating tropical jungles, flying over the North Pole, sailing the seven seas, or merely a visit to New York City. But to about two hundred youngsters graduating from eighth grade in the spring of nineteen hundred thirty- six, it could mean only one thing-high school! A few months later these graduates, upon entering Norwin High School, became the class of nineteen hundred forty. With hearts beat- ing double-time and hopes soaring high they launched upon an adventure which promised to be the most exciting one they had ever en- countered-the search for knowledge. Their most valuable asset in this quest was the light of learning, which they have always kept burn- ing brightly. To carry the torch through the flrst lap of their journey they chose as official torch bearer, Lester Peters, assistant, William Tilbrook, and scribe, Faye Perkins. During this year they took an active part in school life and presented many entertaining chapel programs. One of the chief events of the year was the Band Circus in which the freshmen were lively par- ticipants, doing their best to aid the upper- classmen in making it an important date in the history of Norwin. - Upon setting out on the second phase of their journey they met an expedition from Irwin Junior High that was also in quest of knowledge. The two groups combined to form a much stronger and more efficient delegation. As this required a change in leadership the torch was given to Frank Mowery, president elect, to carry during the second year. David Ed was elected vice president and Faye Perkins reelected secretary. Under this administration the class has become more essential to the de- velopment of the school activities. Its mem- bers have supplied valuable additions to the football, basketball, and wrestling teams and have proved indispensable to the musical, dra- matic, and literary groups. They have gone a long way in their quest for knowledge, and the light of learning has never burned low. It is their ,sincere desire that they may go much farther in their remaining two years at Norwin, and that Norwin will be a better place for their having been a part of it.

In nineteen hundred thirty-seven on 5 chill September morn, we freshmen, as bewildered new-comers, started out on our long hoped for journey. As we passed through the portals of Norwin within us lay the feeling that our next four years would be the foundation for our lives work. After becoming settled in our daily routine, we met in the auditorium and elected officers under the supervision of Mr. Clawson, our principal. Those elected to lead us through our freshman year were Glenn Gongaware, president, Harry Wisser, vice-presidentg and Emma Jean Helman, secretary. Since we were the first incoming class in seven years to have the advantage of a full day session it is to be assumed that we should be able to make great pro- gress during our four years at Norwin. We have started out with great force, rapidly becoming accustomed to the new regime and acquainted with our class- mates. Our talents are many and varied, therefore, we may be found 'apre- -sented in the roll books of numerous clubs. Under the direction of Miss XVillis, our dramatic productions have been on a par with those of upperclasses. Several of our members have joined forces with the Press Club and will prove influential in our attaining a bigger and better yearbook and bi-weekly in the years when our class will be in charge of publications. The girls' and boys' sports were actively attended by freshmen and an interest was fostered in music. Many of us have achieved fame by our scholastic standing. Yes, truly, our talents are varied and many. Having cooperated in helping to make Norwin an outstanding institution during our freshman year, we expect to continue to do so in the years to come.

A peep into the ninth grade diary of friendship reveals the following details: SEPTEMBER On September 8, sixty-two fellow classmates trooped or drooped as befitted their nature to the Irwin School. They were all prepared to start their last year as pupils there. The regular election was held in which Bill Eichenberg was elected president and Jean Dobbie secretary, for the Academic group. Bob Shumaker was elected president and Bernice Ryan, secretary for the Commercial group. OCTOBER The monotony of school in October was broken by a hilarious Halloween Party. Our gymnasium was transformed into a regular Held. Corn stalks hid the corners and decorated the stage. Yellow pumpkins peeped from beneath the stalks and golden ears of corn were scattered around them. On streamers of black and orange, miniature witches and huge balloons sailed above the heads of the crowd. Games were played and a delicious lunch was served. NOVEMBER Several ninth graders took part in a book play given by Mrs. Hamilton, our librarian, on Book Week. The play was about some of the many interesting book characters which make up our library. It was a big success, and every one in it deserved credit for his work. DECEMBER The week before Christmas was celebrated by Miss Carroll's operetta called The Snowmann in which Bob Shumaker had the leading part. It was pre- sented on the seventeenth of this month. The sound moving picture projecter and microphone which was used at the operetta was a pleasant surprise to all the pupils. Several weeks before Christmas Mr. Bleakley's room held a silhouette con- test. Many Junior High students had their profiles in black and white. Some profiles were recognized and some were not. Bob Swenson won Hrst prize. FEBRUARY On February 2 the Home Economics Club held its annual covered dish din- ner. The meal was well planned and very delicious. We are only sorry that we wonit be able to attend the next one. The Current Event Club of the 92 history class was formed in the beginning of this month. On one of our programs there was an interesting debate on Preparedness is the Surest Way to Peace. The leader on the affirmative side was Bill Eichenberg and the leader of the negative side was Bob Swenson. Inci- dentally, the affirmative side won. On Wednesday 16, Mr. Dudley,s room was in charge of the chapel program which consisted of a comical pantomime and several educational movies. The pantomime called Swinging the Votes held many laughs in store for the au- dience. Claude Campbell, Jean Dobbie, Jean Rylander, Bill Carlson, and Bud Snyder made up the cast. U21 C.

MARCH This month was filled with sayings such as How many tickets have you sold? Which room is ahead? Every one was working for the ice cream and cake which was offered to the room that sold the most tickets for the spring operetta, The Slip of a Slipper. There was also a prize offered to the boy and girl selling the most tickets. Another contest this month was the Essay contest given by the Womenis Club. There was a prize of five dollars given to the individual who wrote the best essay on safety. APRIL It was no April Fool in The Slip of a Slipper Cinderella, Jean Rylander, was made a princess by the prince-charming, Bob Perry, while her envious sis- ters, Marilyn Hayes and Phyllis Clarke, and her mother, Jean Dobbie, look on. Cinderellals fairy godmother, Eleanor Clawson, proved a fairy of considerable influence together with the king's right hand man, Bob Shumaker, and the help- ful elf, Eddie Kroen. Others who formed the cast Were: John Connelly, Helen Smith, Claude Campbell, Hazel McMunn and Bob Swenson, pages, Christine Naumann and Sally Raver. The cast was supported by groups of fairies, mice, cooks, maids, gardeners, grooms, dancers all of which wore colorful costumes designed by Miss Lena Wright. The play was directed by Miss Marie Carroll and M. E. McEndarfer. MAY This month was filled with much excitement and many happy times. The last month of school always is. This year perhaps was not quite as merry as other years because many of us felt sorry to leave the Irwin School. The picnic was held at Kennywood Park on May 27, and everyone had a grand and glorious time. Now for three months of vacation and then-our first year at Norwin High School. S3 O Norwin, We'll Remember By S. J. CooMBs When our golden sun of knowledge, Sinks behind your grassy hillg And your stately halls, deserted, Are so lonely, dark, and still, Scattered far in vale and city, From the New Year to December, The happy days we spent with you O Norwin, we'll remember! When our obstacles are conquered, And the World cries out Successg,' To you will go the credit For our fame and happiness, Sitting snugly in an armchair, Of a happy group a member, The happy days We spent with you O Norwin, We,ll remember! When our golden star is fading, Slowly sinking out of sight, And We sit alone, deserted, In the silence of the night, When youth and fame have vanished, And we view life's dying ember, The happy days we spent with you O Norwin, We'll remember!

EXTRACURRICU LAR DEEDS Bi-Weekly staff at the printers OE to get ads Looking over the yearbook NORWIN I-IIGI-I SCHOOL S TODAY we read about school activities. In ten years we may read again of the events of 1938. Our agencies for recording the happen- ings of today are our newspaper and yearbook- the Norwin Bi-Weekly and Norwin. For the twelfth consecutive year the Norwin newspaper has been the source of information and entertainment for the student body and has afforded detailed information on school activi- ties. The trend this year has been toward streamlining.U A change from slide to flush type occurred in headlines, more human interest stories concerning students were published, more views of school life were portrayed by pho- tographs than in former publications, and varia- tions took place in the dog's ears, the two boxes at the extreme top of the front page. Staff members attended several conferences throughout the year. At Penn State the Nor- win Bi-Weekly won a certificate for headline writing. Second place awards for the newspaper and yearbook were granted at the conference held at Hershey, Pennsylvania. Five delegates and Mr. Rodgers, faculty adviser, received the certificate giving Norwin first honorable men- tion for papers in class B highschools of Penn- sylvania and New jersey when they attended the fifth annual Press Conference at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The main positions of the '38 Bi-Weekly staff were held by the following students: Carthrae Laffoon, editor-in-chief, Jane Newmyer, man- aging editorg Charles Costello and Connie Herb- ster, proof readers, Helen Frisk, copy editor, William Caruthers, William Curry and Paul Teske, sports editors, and Sue Sam, staff typist. Reporters were: Esther Hudson, Mildred Medic, Eleanor Wilson, Helen Stamporsky, Eleanor Wallace, Marjorie Carroll, Mary Winecoff, Roy Swenson, Karl Hellmann, and Victor Kregel. The latter part of September saw the founda- tion of the yearbook when the editors with the aid of Miss Isabel Condie and Mr. Rodgers got together to plan the lay-out of the annual. The staff attempted to turn out a more informal yearbook and hope their efforts were not in vain. l60l YEARBOOK AND N EWSPAPER STRIVE FOR RECOGNITION Vfith the recommendation of Norwin teachers, twenty-four students were a oint-d t jd l' Wh' ' ' ' pp t o ai Ju ia ite and Samuel Saunders, editors of the 38 yearbook. Ruth Blake and Saul Bergad, senior editors, collected all the necessary data for h t e senior division. Mildred Medic and Helen Maystrovich provided the ma- terial for the organization records, while Virginia Green and William Curry compiled the sports events of the year. Other aides were: Ruth Hild, copy editorg George Harrison, proof readerg Michael Karmazin, snapshot editorg and Lois Dry, staff typist. Doris Cook, Lester Peters, and Gloria Gongaware were the class historians of the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes respectively. The yunior division was assigned to Peggy Rook John Caruthers Doroth c c 1 ' v Y Hawk, Lois Siegel, Enid Snyder, and Joe Salsi. The ninth grade contributors were Jean Rylander and Helen Smith. As in other years one business staff served for both publications with one circulation campaign in September. The business staff this year consisted of Francis Gabbie, auditor, and Harry Mclntyre, assistant, James Brentzel, jack Carr, Charles Fulton, and Stanford Johns advertising managersg Lewis Lentz and Charles Ridl, circulation managers: John Huffer, Howard Drake, Robert Gard L: f H l ' ' ' ' ' ' ner, irry ens er, Wfallace Battison, and David Ed, assistants.

Certificates of membership into Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists, were bestowed upon four seniorsg namely, Jane Newmyer, Carthrae Laffoon, Julia White, and William Caruthers at the Annual Publications Ban- quet April 22. To be eligible for membership the student must show superior work in some phase of journalistic endeavor, rank in the upper level of his class, and have a recommendation by a faculty advisor consid- ering ability, resourcefulness, and originality. Jane Newmyer, member of the Bi-Weekly staff for three years, has occupied the positions of reporter, copy edi- tor and managing editor. Carthrae Laffoon, editor- in-chief of the '38 Bi-Weekly, has previously had three years of experience as a reporter and managing editor. Two years of newspaper work and one year as editor of the '3 8 yearbook, has enabled Julia White, to receive membership. William Caruthers, '38 sports editor along with three years of journalistic experi- ence has secured membership through his untiring efforts. This honorary society has been functioning for twelve years. It was organized by a group of high school advisors for the purpose of promoting greater accomplishments in high school journalism and re- ward students for their jouruatistic achievements. Researches and surveys were conducted by this or- ganization in the Held of high school journalism to determine types of publications which are best suited to high schools and to standardize the instruction in this Held. rm ' s THE PRESS CLUB DEVELOPES REPORTERS FOR THE BI-WEEKLY PANAY-Incident, ..E7E, Hitler Annexes Austria, or some other out- standing news event of recent occurrence have been responses to the roll call at meetings of the Press Club. During the first semester the club functioned as a class under the supervision of Mr. Rodgers who acquainted the members with the elementary principles of the Bi-Weekly and Yearbook publications. The members voluntarily contrib- uted to the Bi-Weekly, and the more promising members were given definite assignments for each issue. At the reorganization meeting on January 12, the members elected the fol- lowing officers: Karl Hellmann, president, Marjorie Carroll, vice president, Helen Stamporsky, secretaryg and Robert Yoney, treasurer. At the meetings, members of the staff discussed subjects concerning the newspaper field. At the February meeting Helen Frisk, addressed the club on The Norwin Bi-Weekly-A Tradition,', Victor Kregel spoke on The History of the Newspaper, and Carthrae Laffoon, conducted a contest How Well Do You Read?,' In March 9 meeting, William Caruthers led a discussion Contents and Types of Newspapers. Mr. Rodgers explained the function of the printshop. The club journeyed to Greensburg on March ll to visit the printshop of the Greensburg Morning Review, while a picnic in May provided an opportunity for the members to get together in a social way.

I NORWIN girls were overjoyed when a chapter of the Tri-Hi-Y, a club promoting religious and social activities, was organized at Norwin. The thirty-five members met every Monday after school in Room A-3. Their meetings were opened with a ten minute devotional period followed by business and an educational program. Jane Newmeyer, presidentg Julia White, vice presidentg Helen Frisk, record- ing secretaryg Virginia Green, treasurerg were elected oflicers at the organiza- tion meeting. Later on, Miss A. Jones was named club councilor and -Eleanor Helman was voted corresponding secretary. A induction ceremony on February 22 was held in the Home Economics Room. The officers, who were inducted by five of the charter members, form- ally accepted the others for permanent membership. Mr. Clawson, guest of the evening, presented the charter to the club, following this with a talk. The contribution of the Tri-Hi-Y to Norwin social program was a George Washington Tea dance on February 16 in the gymnasium. Refreshments and orchestra music helped the students that attended to have an enjoyable time. On April 1, thirteen girls attended the Tri-Hi-Y-Hi-Y Rally at Wilmer- ding. Other delegates had attended sectional cabinet meetings in the earlier part of the year. Leading the devotional exercises in the chapel and sponsoring a party for all the members of the club, the Tri-Hi-Y closed a very successful first year. l65l l SKILL AND CRAFTSMANSI-IIP ARE 'DEVELGPED IN THESE CLUBS The Art Club Interests Many Students Gongaware.

DON'T forget the Art Club meeting after school today is the reminder one student gives another. And, very few forget about it, for the Art Club functions as one of the live-wire organizations of the school. Under the competent supervision of Mr. Edwards, art instructor, the club has been an invaluable aid to Norwin for the past three years. To head the club this year, Kathryn Wesley was elected president. Her assistants in shouldering the responsibilities were William Highclucheck, Thecla Hensburger and Ruth Siegel. They were chosen to fill the respective positions of vice president, secre- tary, and treasurer. Art work of the department was displayed at two exhibitions: the first in conjunction with the P. S. M. A. conference on November 19 and 20, the sec- ond in conjunction with the industrial arts department at Winters Store on April 1 through April 9. Sponsoring a chapel program on March 4 they brought Allan Birch, an alumnus of their group, who entertained the student body with Cartooning. The social events included a Halloween and a Christmas party. On Novem- ber 9, the club journeyed to Pittsburgh to the Industrial Art Exhibit at Carnegie Museum. l66l T. E. G.

Home Arts f67l Radio Club Builds Sets For Personal Use NOVEL-entertaining-instructive-might well be the words used to describe the activi- ties of a group of boys at Norwin who are interested in radio and who make up the personnel of the Radio Club. Organized for the purpose of building radio sets, visiting broadcasting studios, and pre- paring for amateur licenses the Radio Club, this year, was under the supervision of Mr. Muellerschoen. The officers elected to direct the activities of the club were John Caruthers, president, Chester Wohlert, vice president, George Scheffel, secretary, and William Carson, treasurer. In carrying out the purpose of the club the boys built small crystal sets for their own use, and worked together in building a sending and receiving short wave set. Moreover, in order to further stimulate interest in radio, trips were taken to the K.D.K.A. studios in Pittsburgh and to the transmitter station at Saxonsburg. Pierce, Mr. Muellerschoen, C Wohert.

' Miss Sowash's chief aids were Gladys Riehl and Dolores Hellman of the sophomore class. The work of these girls included shellacking books, pasting pockets in them, arranging the bulletin boards, handling files and checking bool-cs. They also assisted students who found it necessary to use the library for reference and informed them as to the location of the books. Girls who found this pastime both profitable and entertaining were Ruth Marchand, Lydia Ed, Ruth Miller, Ruth Whalen, Harriet Robinson, Olive Fundis, Jean Tyler, Margaret Kettren, Ruth Lintner, Gladys Riehl, Dolores Hellmann, Lida Kebernick, Martha Stahl, Vivian Gahagan and Katherine Boyd. l68l M.

Anyone who has been around the music room on Wfednesdays after school and has listened to the sonorous tones issuing forth from lusty masculine throats can verify this statement. These tones were pro- duced by Mr. Herrick and his Boys' Glee Club. Lead by President, Jack Creightong Vice President, Samuel Saunders: Secretary. Roy Swensong and Treasurer. William Tilbrookg the club began to function as one of the musical organizations of the school. Under the direction of Mr. Herrick, the members began to praca tice diligently for the school musical season. Unfortunately. however. the change in schedule hampered this club as it did many of our other organizations, and prevented them from being as active as in former years. Mr. Herrick chose the male singing leads and the male section of the operetta chorus from this group. He also employed the Glee Club in the spring popular program. Sines. Carter.

I'm from Williams- port. Exchange of such conversations and the dis- cussion of school musical groups were the advantages extended to the band and orchestra members as they attended state conferences. Gordon Strobeck, junior violinist, was appointed to represent the Norwin orchestra at the All-State Or- chestra Conference which was held at Wellsboro, Pennsylvania on February 24, 25, and 26. He also had attended the All-Western-Orchestra conclave at Munhall, Pennsylvania on December 9, 10, and 11. Band members Went travelling when the managers George Weaver and John Eckberg journeyed to Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania on May 12, 13, and 14 to attend the All-State-Band Conference. Not all musical groups Were represented at confer- ences but their presence at Norwin was received with enthusiasm. Gezundeit -again here this year as one of the most popular of musical organizations, The Little German Band, was reorganized. The roster of this group this term was James Hutchins, Edward Kistler, James Houser, George Weaver, and John Eckberg. Then the strains of The Blue and Gold Melodiers furnished the swing for many tea dances, class parties and all-school socials. Another jazz band that came into prominence was Jimmy Michael and his Smoothies. I72I The School Band Completes Successful Season WHEN Norwin's Sterling Men Fall Into Line, Onward Norwin, On a Grassy Hill- side -these are important factors in the victory of our athletic teams.

E761 The School Band Completes Successful Season WHEN Norwin's Sterling Men Fall Into Line, Onward Norwinf' On a Grassy Hill- side -these are important factors in the victory of our athletic teams. What organization can give more zest to a game than our zealous band? Arrayed in new uniforms of blue and gold, the band presented a dignified and militar- istic appearance as they marched down our football held instilling enthusiasm in the student body. Once again Mr. james Weaver, better known as Jimmie, strove for a better organiza- tion. George, his son, acted as president and was assisted by John Eckberg, Wayne Gonga- ware, and Gilbert Gongaware as managers. Forty-two boys and girls took part this year which was the youngest group ever to represent Norwin.

Strange sounds issue from the wind instruments. Soon all is under control and a sweet melody is produced under the rhythmic waving of Mr. Trombley's baton. Operettas call for orchestras, and Norwin's orchestra is standing at attention. Occasions which signalled them to duty were the Oh Doctor operetta, under the direction of Mr, Herrick and Sky High a presentation by the Irwin Firemen. Students participating in the special orchestra for these entertainments were Jack Eckberg, Gordon Strobeck. Howard Drake, George XX'eaver, Ester Hudson, james Houser, Edward Kistler, and Harriet Robinson. From the thirty-two members, james Houser, a junior, was elected president and Esther Hudson, a senior, secretary. l73l Freshmen-Sophomores juniors-Seniors Senior-Junior Dramatic Club Studys The Theater To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them, To die: to sleepf' to delve into The Tragedy of Hamlet for the sake of advancing knowledge in the field of drama. This was the project that was so enthusiastically begun by the junior-senior dramatic groups under the direction of Miss Elizabeth War- nock and Martha Painter. Casting plays was not the main objective of the dramatic club this year. At a series of meetings Miss Jones demonstrated the fine art of make-up while mem- bers of the club portrayed the dress of various nations. One-act plays were discussed and enacted before the groups. An intimate study of James Matthew Barrie's plays were advanced in Miss Painter's group. These were found to be very humorous and extremely enjoy- able reading material. On November 12 the club made its debut in presenting before the student body the one-act play entitled Three,s a Crowd. With the able assistance of Eleanor Dietrick, Miss Painter directed the cast which consisted of the following dramatic members: Lois Dry, Jack Creighton, Helen Ayres, Jack Lenhart, and Bernard Dahlstrom. l74l SCHOOL DRAMATIC CLUBS ACQUIRE ACTUAL STAGE EXPERIENCE Sophomore-Freshman Dramatic Clubs Are Active Groups PLEASE, more feeling in those lines. Live your roles. Thus heard the timid little Thespians of the Freshman and Sophomore Dramatic Club under the instruction of Miss Willis and Miss Barnard, respectively. The change in the activity schedule this year has opened the dramatic field to the freshmen and sophomores. At a meeting early in the fall, vice president, Lorraine Evans, secretary, Lil- lian Smetakg and treasurer, Ella Barton, were selected to assist Emma Jean Hel- man, president of the freshman group. The Sophomores elected Phyllis Cohen, president, Marguerite Moore, secretary, and Vivien Moore, treasurer. Throughout the year, the fundamentals of acting were taught, pantomimes and one-act plays were given. Although several one-act plays have been staged, the meetings were held primarily to acquaint the members with different char- acter sketches in order that they may display their talent in their junior and senior years. On November 19, the freshmen made their initial appearance in the one-act play, A Month's Notice, which involves the difficulty of a prominent club woman in obtaining a domestic. After several interviews with applicants, she decides to retain her former maid. The play was partly double-cast. Those who participated in the play were Jean Blankette, Mary Kovac, Jenny Lindh, Jaunita Mertz, Fornato Mussolini, Anna Randolph, and Lucille Tiler. The freshman group also performed before the student body in Thank,s to Grand- motherf' The play told a dream of a young artist who was inspired for an en- try in a contest by her grandmothers clothes of one hundred years ago. The cast consisted of Jean Barnard, Lorraine Evans, Vivian Gongaware, Emma Jean Helman, Sadiebell Milne, Ethel Sargeant, and Lillian Smetak. The models for the play included a group of eighteen girls. Jean Blankette accompanied the play with piano solos, The Merry Widow Waltz and Minuet in G. The Sophomores made their debut in the drama Danger At the Door, directed by Phyllis Cohen. The scene for this play is an old farm house where a group of boys and a group of girls are practicing for plays. There is a strug- gle about who should use the house for rehearsal. The two groups compromise and present one play. Those who participated were Regina Flaherty, Elizabeth Hill, Ruth Kunkle, Jean Lindh, Vivian Moore, Frank Paul, Dorothy Servi, Clyde Siegel, Catherine Silvis, Harry Williams, and James Woleslagle.

U61 Annual Senior Play UBOY, I was born with a fever, quotes Ruth Lintner in her role of Annette Burns in the senior class play, Gay, by Boyce Loving. Under the direction of Mr. Patterson, senior class dramatic coach, the performance took place on Tuesday, May 24 in the Norwin auditorium. The plot centers around Gay Marshall, a young working girl-yet a wall- flower, enacted by julia White, who decides to shake off her shadow, Bobby Ellis -a boy whom most girls shun and mothers adore, Saul Bergad. Gay's straight- laced Aunt Betty QI-Ielen Maystrovichj and her Uncle Jim Warren fGeorge Harrisonj , a small-town banker, take an active interest in her welfare. De Vere Martin, Loretta Kifer, and Lyda Ed lend interest to the plot in the roles of flap- pers who borrow clothes from Gay to attend dances to which Gay is not even invited. Annette Burns, an old chum of Gay's romper days, comes to town and brings Dick Royster, alias Samuel Saunders, owner of a smooth line and a roadster, not to mention nimble fingers. I-Ie is the city slicker type and arouses a great fluster among the home town girls. Gay views him as an exit to the hustle and bustle of the outside world of which she is anxious to become a part. Complications arise, and Gay decides to elope with Dick. Their plans are way- laid by faithful Bobby, who saves Gay in the nick of time, thereby regaining her favor. The scenery motif was of a modernistic trend and was effectively carried out by Mr. William Edwards. Walter Yagazinsky acted as student manager. The sale of tickets was supervised by Miss Anna Santner, Commercial teacher. 'a1sm,.t, 4 1 ' f ,Q Mig Bergad, Martin.

Under the able direction of the various class officers on the Social Committee everything ran smoothly and soon the floor was thronged with carefree dancers. All too soon it was time to depart and the dancers left the school looking forward to the next affair. Their wish was soon realized for on November 5 Norwin's swing addicts were gliding and pirouetting at the first All School Alumni Social. We were glad to see the alumni again, and they seemed to enjoy themselves as thoroughly as had the dancers at the first social. The season really began to hit its stride when the annual Christmas Hop, sponsored by the Publications, arrived on December 22. As the dancers swayed to Herbie Fritchies' tunes, a committee of alumni and teachers selected Virginia Green to be enshrined as Queen in NorWin's Hall of Fame for 1938. Nearly a month later on January 28 the second All School Alumni Social was held. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that the Social Committee de- cided to schedule a Dateless Dance for February 25 as a novelty. Only boys and girls in separate groups were permitted to enter, and everyone joined in the merriment except the fellows who couldn't cake their best girls. The shamrock and the wearin' of the green ushered in the next dance held on St. Patrick's Day by the Norwin band. Strenuous Irish jigs did not seem to tire the Norwinites greatly, because everyone and his girl friend turned up for the next Social on April 19. The school year drew to a close and the annual Letterman's Ball and the Junior-Senior Reception ended another season of good times for the Norwin stu- dents. Gayety ran high at the Letterman,s Ball, but among the beautiful decor- ations of the Junior-Senior Reception a feeling of sadness Was felt, for as the orchestra was packing up and the students were leaving the gym the seniors knew that they were saying goodbye to their final year of grand dances, parties, and all around good times at Norwin.

Plucky Varsity Gridiron Warriors Coach Onder Defeat List OF Opponents FIGHTING with renewed vigor throughout the year, the nine- teen thirty-eight football squad, with only six veterans from last year, attempted to bring football glory back to Norwin, but out of nine games, they won three, tied one, and lost five. Although their victories were few, their moral victories were many. The new coach, Mr. Tar Onder, ably assisted by Mr. Clark McClelland, built up a strong, fighting eleven with a few veterans and a squad of rookies. Next year Mr. Onder hopes to have a very successful season, as many of this year's regulars were juniors. Two senior boys who should receive praise for their outstanding work in their football careers are Karmazin and Zurich. Karmazin, a three year man and a versatile player, was the neucleus of the Nor- win line and a never-give-up player. Zurich, also a three year man, was an excellent field general and an exceptionally good blocker. Although eight seniors will graduate this year, it is expected that their positions will be ably filled by the juniors of this season. The line-up which usually started the games were: Wimer and Freger at ends, Stough and Blaho at tacklesg A. Karmazin and M. Karmazin at guardsg Mayers at center, Zurich, quarterbackg Sproat and Hensler, halfbacksg and Magette or Abraham at fullback. i801 Football Personalities And Highlights Cheerleaders in actron Band on parade Ed Zurich Captain Mike Scenes from the Norwin-Jeannette game L81 'f THE IQ37 VARSITY FOOTBALL SEASON SEWICKLEY TWP.4NORWIN The inexperienced Norwin eleven copped the initial game of the 1957 season when they downed the die-hard Sewickley Township lads by a 7 to 6 score. Both teams scored in the second quarter when Kerns plunged over the line, and Plues duplicated the feat by also plunging over to score. Karmazin booted the extra point to give Norwin the advantage. NORWIN-WILKENSBURG Journeying to Wilkensburg, October 2, to play their first class AA game, the Norwin lads met with some strong opposition when they were vanquished by a score of 14 to 0. Series of power plays netted the Holy City Eleven their first touchdown, and fumbles on the part of Norwin paved the way for the other. NORWIN-YOUNGWOOD Completely outplaying the squad from Youngwood the Blue and Gold hung up their second win of the season with a 14 to 6 score. Norwin's first tally came in the second period when Sproat squirmed through right tackle for a touchdown and followed it with another in the third quarter. The Youngwood eleven scored their only marker when Good fumbled behind the goal line. N ORWIN -SCOTT Under the bright lights at North Braddock on October 15, the Norwin raiders suffered the bitterest defeat of the season when they were snowed under by the touchdowns of the Scott warriors. The game ended in a 31 to 0 score. Long runs and power plays featured the Scott offense as Norwin was decisively outplayed and continually on the defense. NORWIN-SEWICKLEY BORO. Still suffering from the defeat administered to them by the Scotties, the Blue and Gold fell 1821 down in a 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of the powerful Sewickley Borough eleven. Ingram smashed over the line to score after an 80 yard march down the field. Norwin threatened in the third quarter, but were halted on the twenty-six yard line and failed to score. NORWIN-JEANNETTE Saturday, October 50, saw the Norwin eleven trampled by their traditional rival, the Blue and Red from Jeannette, by a score of 14 to 0. Jeannettes first score came early in the first quarter after a march from the opening kickoff. The second tally came in the fourth period after another march by the Glass City eleven, with Crowell going over from the one- yard line. NORXVIN-SCOTTDALE The light but effective Scottdale eleven held the Blue and Gold warriors to a 0 to 0 dead- lock, in a defensive fray at Scottdale field, on November 6. Norwin threatened three times, but the Scottdale defense tightened each time and prevented a score. NORWIN-CONNELLSVILLE The Blue and Gold raiders won their first class AA game of the season when they tram- pled over the Connellsville Cokers by a score of 7 to 0. Norwin's only score came in the third period when Magette plunged over from the one yard line after the ball had been ad- vanced by a series of line plays. NORWIN-GREENSBURG In the annual Thanksgiving Day classic the county's two oldest rivals, Norwin and Greens- burg, battled for supremacy, but lady luck fav- ored the Brown and White and gave her a 6 to 0 victory. The Lion's score came after a Norwin fumble and a series of line plays with Steffin sliding through right tackle with the pigskin for a score. MINOR SPORTS PROVE POPULAR SWIMMING TEAM The swimming team. organized and coached by Mr. Edwards is an entirely new minor sport at Norwin. Never before in the history of Norwin has she had a swimming team. The team formed and practiced at the Y. M. C A. in Wilmerding, every Wednesday evening. Although the squad had no interscholastic meets. an intra-mural swimming meet was held at Byerly Crest last spring. GOLF TEAM Coached by Mr. McClelland, the golf team entered Class 5 in the W. P. I. A. L. competition, playing such teams as McKeesport, Munhall, and Homestead. Post league games were played with Jeannette and Greens- burg. This sport returned to Norwin after a year or two absence with only two veterans, Tally and Lough- ner. from other year. Other boys grew interested until there were approximately fifteen boys trying for posi- tions on the team. VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM Although they won only two out of eight matches in the nineteen thirty-eight season, the Blue and Gold mat- men, coached by Mr. Wolfe, proved worthy opponents to such teams as: Trafford, Cannonsburg and Greens- burg, and winning two matches from Sewickley Twp. On March ll and 15, the grapplers attended the W. P. l. A. L. tournament at Waynesburg, sponsored by Waynesburg College. Gross was the only Norwinite to survive the first day. and went into the linals the follow- ing day. Although he was defeated in the linals, he gar- nered six points for Norwin when he won three pins and second place. This year the Wrestling team will be hard hit by graduation, as hve seniors will be lost from the tirst string. TENNIS TEAM Because it was a new sport at Norwin the tennis team had some ditiiculty in obtaining a court for matches, and so, little was accomplished in the way of tennis. At the time of this writing, no matches had been scheduled, except one, which was with Greensburg. I i I I Iiifyt Grrmfv: Coach Wolfe, Lierman, Richards. Mclntyre. Gross, Plank. Maracie.

The new coach, Mr. Clark McClelland, built an almost en- tirely new team, with only three from last yearis quintet on this year's squad. Early practice was called, and the lads were drilled with exceptional care to be in tip-top condition when the season began. The squad looked very promising in the pre-league games and then showed their stuff in the league games. Norwin copped the initial game of the Section 9 competition by trampling Scottdale by a S0 to 21 score, but their glory was short-lived when they were handed a stinging defeat by the Greensburgers in the next fray. The Norwinites then preceded to down Connellsville, Mt. Pleasant, and Jeannette until they encountered Johnstown, a new Section 9 opponent, who tri- umphed after a thrilling game. Latrobe and Scottdale were Nor- win's next victims, but again Greensburg topped the Blue and Gold by a close score. Five successive victories by the Norwin cagers closed the Section 9 competition and Norwin stood a good third in the records, with Greensburg Hrst and Johnstown second. Going into the annual County Tournament at Greensburg, the Blue and Gold were met by the Arnold quintet, whom they vanquished in short order by a score of 38 to 28. Their next foe was Monesson, who was a little too much for them, and the Norwinites went down to, a 34-31 defeat. This defeat elimi- nated them from the tournament, and their chance to clinch the trophy this year was destroyed. Three seniors from the first string will be lost by graduation namely, Ridl, Anderson and Darby. Funk, Loughner and Kar- mazin, second string players, will also graduate this spring. All these boy's positions will be hard to fill, although there will be good prospects from the Junior Varsity squad to come up. Although this is his first year at Norwin, Mr. McClelland has produced a team that is a credit to the school, and has proved himself a valuable basketball coach. I84l Mayer. Mowry, Darby. Capt.

Junior Varsity Basketball The Junior Varsity Basketball team was again organized and supervised this year by Mr. Rainey, an able and three year coach of the Juniors. Winning eight and losing eight made this seasonis team che most successful of the three years, and gave the Junior Varsity a percentage of .500. The Irwin Juniors were first victims of the Junior Varsity when they fell before the furious onslaught by a score of 23-11. Next came Greensburg, seeking a victory, and got it by defeating the Juniors, 18 to 14. The next two games went to the Jun- ior Varsity, when they topped Scottdale 23-9 and the Irwin Juniors again 24-20. Then came the slump when they lost six successive games. The victors were: Wash ington, by a 32-14 scoreg hdanor, 21-203 Irwin Juniors, 26-ZIQ Connellsville, 18-93 Mt. Pleasant, 23-163 and Scottdale, 27-15. Pulling out of their slump the Rainey pro- teges then proceeded to vanquish their next five opponents, crushing Latrobe by a 17-8 scoreg topping Jeannette, 26-163 Connells- ville, 40-343 Mt. Pleasant, 26-203 and Jeannette again, 22-15. In their last game, Latrobe Won the decision by a 22-15 score. J. Perkins, B. Eichenberg, B. Rylander, R. Srough, B. L B. Miller, C. Kifer, F. Waugaman. Ninth Grade Basketball Although the Irwin Junior High basket- ball season was not as successful as the pre- vious years, the fine spirit of the team, and the support of the students should be com- mended. Under the supervision of the veteran coach, Mr. McEndarfer, the team emerged victorious in seven tilts and were defeated in eight games. Starting off the season with a bang, the Irwin lads won four successive victories, beating Penn by a score of 32-223 Wash- ington Wendel, 23-213 North Irwin, 16- 153 and Stanton, 33-25. In the next seven games the Irwin Juniors tasted the bitter- ness of defeat when the quintet from Ex- port triumphed by a 39 to 19 score3 Har- old ran up a score of 42-233 South Greens- burg, I7-IIQ Washington Wendel, 24-103 North Irwin, 22-213 Harold, 26-173 and Export, 39-23. Penn and Stanton were the next victims of the Irwin lads, and bowed by a 55-18, and 23-21 score, respec- tively. South Greensburg next defeated the Irwin five, 48-263 and the juniors closed the season by topping North Irwin, 28-19. enhart 1361 BOYS' INTRAMURAL SPORTS PROVIDE VARIED COMPETITION Adding to the already present basket- ball, softball and wrestling, two new and popular intra-mural sports were introduced to Norwin by the new athletic director, Mr. McClelland. Succeeding Mr. Fischer and continuing his yearly intra-mural pro- gram, Mr. McClelland planned and pro- moted the sports very successfully for his first year at Norwin. Soccer, the newly introduced intra- mural sport, proved very popular and led the intra-mural program into stride. The boys leaders club, aided by Mr. McClel- land, lined off regulation soccer field and constructed goal posts. First, the gym classes were taught the fundamentals of soccer, then the teams were formed for the intra-mural competition. A few games were played, but continued wet fields dis- rupted the schedule until it was too late for a tournament. Following on the heels of soccer came basketball, an ever popular sport at Nor- win. Teams were formed in each gym period and the winner in each period was eligible to enter the play-offs. McCann's team and Wimer's team met in the finals, with Wimer coming out on top and win- ning the tournament by a score of 17-16. The members of the winning team were: Wimer, captain, C. Zavora, P. Weaver, L. Tilbrook, Felluca, and L. Denale. The usual annual wrestling tournament, quite popular at Norwin, was not held this year, and the only wrestling was done in the gym classes. Next in the line of sports came volley- ball, also a new sport, promoted like the basketball tournament. Much enthusiasm was evident among the players participat- ing in this sport. This year like last year, softball proved to be almost as popular as basketball. It is also one sport that all boys respond and enjoy. Due to the lack of time, no track meet was held this year, and there was no intra- mural tennis tournament.

THE MEMBERS of the Girls Leaders, Club are a group of student athletes chosen by Miss Allshouse, the physical education instructress at Norwin. These girls are the outstanding leaders in the field of sports. They are chosen for their good sportsmanship, character, initiative, and capability in participating in all activities. They are to ofliciate, score, and time at all interclass activities in ad- dition to being able to help Whenever their services are needed. At the beginning of this school term, the veteran members held a meeting and elected their ofiicers. They were president, Virginia Greeng vice president, Anna Doris Lewis, secretary, Ella McKelveyg and treasurer, Norma Loughner. To these veterans', were added new members who served as probationers for one year. If, at the end of this time, their actions merit approval according to the standards of the club, they are accepted as permanent members. At a Weiner roast held at the close of last yearis school term, the members re- ceived emblems of gold and blue felt. The first social affair this year was a skating party at the Lexington Skating Rink. Members were permitted to bring their friends and, as a result, a large crowd attended. Members of last year's club were invited to a get-to-gether sponsored by the club of '38 to promote good fellowship between students and alumni. At this gathering exercises started the program, followed by games and refreshments. I88l PING PONG The ping pong tourament of 1937 was managed by Ruth Ramsden and assisted by members of the Leaders' Club. Virginia Estep was winner of the novice tourney in which twenty girls participated. Following the novice tourney came the all-school tournament in which Mary Millen emerged the victor. The 1938 tournament was conducted in th esame manner with Mary Millen acting as general manager. The novice tourney was won by Eleanor Helman and the all-school by Peggy Rook. ARCHERY Archery is perhaps the best sport for showing one's individual competitive qualities in skill and accuracy. This sport dates back to the days of our ancestors and is considered top-rating in the correction of one's posture. In the spring of 1937, there were nineteen contestants in the archery meet of which Eleanor Wallace gained the position of title-holder for that season. A Columbia Round-twenty four arrows-was shot. TENNIS The 1937 all-school tennis tourney was under the management of Betty Bruggeman. This tourney was held in May on the available courts in Irwin and vicin- ity. The play-off was between Lois Siegel and Betty Bruggeman. Lois finished as champ and will serve stiff competition to her opponents of this season. MUSHBALL Softball is quickly becoming a very popular sport among Norwin girls. The class teams played a Round Robin in the spring of '37. The seniors ranked first, winning all of their games. Another tourney is being held this spring. HOCKEY Practices for hockey began last fall, but due to weather conditions they were postponed. Teams could not be drawn and games started, but the flne points were ex- plained in the gym classes. Practices will be resumed in the spring if weather conditions prove favorable, and interclass games will be played at this time. BASKETBALL The liveliest and most popular of the girls' intra- mural sports, basketball, continued in its prime this season at Norwin. Each class possessed an A and B team. Sharp rivalry resulted in the tournament, espe- cially between the juniors and seniors. The juniors were victorious in both A and B teams.
