Their selection of our coach was an honor which we all shared, and we wish to join with them in paying tribute to the man who gave us two cham- pionship footboll teams in two con- secutive years and a third team of championship caliber. ln spite of these successes, Mr. Varner has not lost the common touch and has developed a whole- some school spirit which will lead Richland on to new and greater tri- umphs. Harrymlfinley, Dapper Dan president, presents the Coach-of-the'Year trophy to Mr. Varner. Uohnstown Democrat Photoj INTRDDUCING 0UR B0l-lRD 0F EDUCllTl0 These are the men who are charged with the responsibility of providing facilities and teachers for the carrying out of an adequate educational program in Richland Township. Just how well they are doing their iob could be noted by the casual ob- server when school opened last September. The extensive im- provements which this group saw lit to make leaves no doubt as to its attitude regarding the well-being of the students. But this is not all. A bigger and better high school is their goal. Part of it already graces the skyline along the Windber Road and is being used temporarily by the elementary grades. The additional units which are necessary to accommodate the high school have progressed well beyond the drawing board stages, and it is hoped that some who are now in high school will be graduated from the new building. RAY P LAMBERT Treas HOWARD WISSINGER l- E- PENROD llND DR. GLENN 0. NESS The complicated iob of co-ordi- nating the many functions of our school falls into the capable hands of Dr. Glenn C. Hess, our Super- vising Principal. To Dr. Hess, a day in school is not a series of seven class periods with time out for lunch. His day is a day of making de- cisions, handling emergencies, su- pervising instruction, listening to complaints, and attending to the innumerable details arising from the building program now under way. Decisions are always diFficult to make, but make them we must. ln the unsettled world into which the graduates of 1951 are entering there are many problems awaiting solution. Many challenges lie ahead. Much needs to be done. The educational experiences which have culminated in your graduation from high school have tended to make you aware of the responsi- bility each one of us has for making decisions, for attacking andsolving problems, and for meeting and overcoming challenges. You have learned that it is important to search out all the facts before arriving at a conclusion. And you have realized that con- structive action based on your findings and con- clusions needs to be initiated. ln life the problems are not always so clearly defined as those that have had to be met in school experiences. And the same kind and considerate help and advice given so freely and generously by faculty members is not always so easily and readily available. Yet it is my sincere hope that each of you will have the courage and determination to meet and conquer the problems and challenges that the future holds for you. May much success crown your efforts.

Much of the responsibility in the operation of this high school has been delegated to Mr. Carl E. Lundquist, a familiar tigure on the Geistown scene for a number of years. In fact, he has become an integral part of the community. To know Geistown, you must know Mr. Lundquist. Mr. Lundquist's job, like that of Dr. Hess's, knows plenty of variety in the course of 0 day. He says: Anything can happen at Richland and usually does. BENFORD BLOUGH COVODE CRISTE DODD EDELMANN ....lINDHISCORPS.... FYOCK GREEN I.. HOFFMAN KAUFFMAN GASTON G. HOFFMAN HOZIK KUZMIAK DONALD H.

' --if - M ,...f- ,- EDUCI-lTIO The human mind is our greatest gift and is, without doubt, the apex in the world of material things. The microscope will reveal its cell structure, but its inner workings rank among the greatest mysteries in nature. The mind with its ability to search for truth, to accumulate facts, to analyze its findings, to draw conclusions, and to make choices should be tended with the greatest care. Its true worth cannot be fully realized, and the limit of its capabilities is not known. We do know that our American way of life, respecting the dignity of the individual, has provided the necessary media for the development of the mind. Throughout our land, schools have been established and dedicated to the cause of education. We have truly a priceless heritage. An ac- cumulation of the discoveries of the ages is ours for the asking. We must ever realize that we have a responsibility to ourselves equal to the responsi- bilities of those who have set the stage for us. May we use wisely the period devoted to prepara- tion, and learn well the true worth of usefulness. Don Lane, Dave Custer, and Phyllis Showalter give some thought to the prob- lems of a world grown smaller because of the rapid progress being made in conquering time and distance. K. vi my ff' W fi ...Q v.-we an Time has a way of passing, and when the doors of RHS opened in September we foundk ourselves playing the envied role of Seniors . . . and we loved it. It was great to stroll through the halls and hear someone say: He's a Senior now. Maybe we shouldn't admit it, but we would sometimes walk by the seventh graders iust to bask in their admiring glances. But we soon learned there was a serious side to being a Senior. Our teachers expected us to work, and there were things to be done if we were to enjoy the tra- ditional events reserved only for Seniors. Mr. Samuel was named our adviser, and Miss Kauffman, assistant adviser. Nancy Wingard was elected president at our organization meeting, Dave Custer, vice presi- cient, Phyllis Showalter, secretary, and Sally Stewart, treasurer. Dave Custer suc- ceeded to the presidency when Nancy withdrew from school in December. ln sports our class made its contribution by supplying ten members of the foot- ball squad, and eight senior boys secured berths on the basketball team. ACCORDING TO THIS, WE ONLY NEED ABOUT 5999.09 MORE.

Another short and pleasant summer vacation ended, and classes were resumed September 5. As usual, the first week buzzed with excitement. Seventh graders got their first taste of high school life, still a bit awe stricken with the rush and glamour of it all, while the old timers greeted friends they hadn't seen in months. Probably the greatest activity of all, and we do mean greatest, was in the group which makes up the band. Just four days to get ready for our first gameg rushed like mad to get instruments tuned up, to learn new drills, to keep in step, and to hit a few correct notes. But it was worth it all when our team was victorious over Ferndale. Spirits were low on Sunday, September 10. Some of the boys from our school and others in the National Guard entrained for Camp Atterbury. This called for a send-off parade in which cheerleaders and band members participated. fOuch, those aching feetlj The various clubs were organized and the Senior journalism class published its first issue of the 'Echo on the 15th. We also won our second football game that evening at Berlin's expense. Our win over Portage on the 22nd, the Juniors playing host to the ring salesman on the 29th, and a gridiron victory over Beaverdale on the 30th pretty well rounded out the doings at Richland during the first month of school. SHALL WE MAKE A JACK-O-LANTERN OR A PIE? October started off swell with a two-day vacation the first week, due to the Teachers' Education Conference in Ebensburg. The Somer- set-Richland game was played on the 6th, and though Somerset just happened to be ahead at the final whistle, the game was a classic. On October 9 the FFA held initiation cere- monies for its new members, and from what we heard, the goat was in fine fettle. Friday, the 'l3th, the day when all superstitious persons tote all sorts of good luck charms, the Senior Class held a dance. lt was called, of all things, The Good Luck Dance. Our football team took both Shade and Franklin in its stride on the 14th and 20th respectively at the Windber Stadium. Everyone must come dressed as a hobo, so said the Juniors when they held their Hobo Dance on the 27th. Harold Lehman and Ruth Ann Knipple were crowned King and Queen of Hobos. They even rated their picture in the paper the next day. A deck of playing cards went marching down the streets of Johnstown on the 30th. A closer look, and the mirage turned out to be our band taking part in the annual Halloween parade. Hats off to Sally Stewart for doing another wonderful job of costuming. The next evening this same band captured first prize in the Windber parade. A patrol party at the school and the month of October ended. THIS IS GOING TO HURT YOU MORE THAN IT HURTS ME. We saw queer looking creatures doing queer things in queer places on November 5, but then we can expect such capers when the Pep Club initiates new members. The Joseph E. Cover Studio moved right onto our stage on the 6th and 7th for the purpose of taking year- book portraits of our Seniors and faculty mem- bers. Also on November 7 Mr. Hotfman's physics and chemistry classes left bright and early on a field trip to Pittsburgh. Our last football game was against Cone- maugh on the 9th, which resulted in another victory for our team. The Varsity R spon- sored a dance on the l0th. Another educational tour went to Pittsburgh on the 15th. This time Miss Green's Sophomore history classes comprised the group. Dr. Ernest Nickel, talented bird imi- tator of Hollywood fame, treated the Junior High to a special program on the 17th. Richland was mighty proud when on No- vember 2O our head coach Mr. Varner was named Coach of the Year. A free drumstick to everyone who attended the Seniors' Drum- stick Jamboree on the 21st. The next day Thanksgiving vacation began, but not until the Varsity R gave away a turkey. That night our cheerleaders participated in the annual cheer- leading contest. School was scheduled to re- open on the 27th, but the season's worst snow storm gave Us two extra days' vacation. iqfm JOY TO THE WORLD! A' fi V W , 1 4 December 6 and 7 were highlighted by the Senior play, Saved by the Belle, a three-act comedy which was expertly done. Our basket- ball season opened on the 13th, and again Ferndale was our first opponent. Remember how surprised Miss Green looked when George Kleban discovered her standing under a mistle- toe at the Junior Mistletoe Dance. It was a success even though it was held on the 13th. As Christmas approached, many of the stu- dents, desirous of extra Christmas money, secured iobs and obtained excuses for the week of De- cember 'l8. The Richland schools were well represented throughout the stores in town. It was Richland versus Shade on the 19th, and on the 20th Ralph A. Melville of the Antrim Bureau entertained us with a superb exhibition of glass blowing. The old stars as well as the new were out the night of the 22nd for the annual alumni game, and a dance following the game was an appropriate ending for a pleasant day, which incidentally was the beginning of our Christmas Vacation. With last-minute shopping before Christmas and the returning of gifts afterward we had a busy time. No school for a whole week, but what a short week! H' ' L 'IJ NOW WILL YOU BEHAVE YOURSELF? Back to the old grind after those wonderful Christmas holidays. We won the first basketball game of T951 by defeating Nanty Glo on Janu- ary 2. During the first two weeks of the new year it seems that classes dominated the scene. However, on the l6th the Portal staff presented a movie which included a feature picture, Wild- fire, and three comedies. The Richland cagers were again victorious on the 17th. This time Portage was the victim on the Cochran floor. Junior and Senior English classes were excused on the l8th to see Hamlet which was showing at the State Theater. Some of the Junior girls were deeply moved by the tragedy, but fortunately they had hankies with them. The Freshmen were permitted, for the first time, to sponsor ci money-making event. They wanted it to be successful so they did a lot of advertising. lt paid off, too. The Freshman Frolic on the 'l9th turned out to be one of the best attended dances of the whole year. Basketball monopolized most of the remain- ing dates in January. Richland bowed to Fern- dale, Dale, and Franklin on the 24th, 26th, and 3lst. However, on the 29th we were successful in lassoing Conemaugh's Iron Horse. .' iQ, gif, ' xi I LIKE YOU. DO YOU LIKE ME? x 0 'qaQ?i?'h Q Q5 gf Qin-sill, The groundhog legend gave rise to the idea for The Shadow Dance which was sponsored by the Junior Class on February 2. Band mem- bers and cheerleaders were feted at a banquet in the gym on the 5th, thanks to the Band Moth- ers' Club and the School Board. The Silver Bells Orchestra provided music for dancing after the dinner. We were torn away from our classes at Il:30 on February 9 in order that school facili- ties could be made available to the Red Cross Bloodmobile unit which visited Geistown on that date. Just Ducky was the name of the Junior Class play given on the 16th. No title could have been more fitting, and no cast could have done a better iob. The hilarious presentation kept the audience roaring with laughter through- out the performance. The Junior Y-Teens held a skating party on the l7th with proceeds to be used to send a representative to the Y-Teen Tri-State Conference at Bethany College. The F. F. A. boys held a round and square dance on the 22nd, It was appropriately called The Cherry Tree Jambo- ree. Students from Dale High School presented a musical program on the 23rd, and Miss Messina later entertained the Dale school with Richland talent. S:-X4 p Anuuf 11llRCH15,1fl5 INCOME TAXES WON'T MEAN A THING AFTER THIS. The boy and girl patrols were honored at a party on March 'l3. We must not forget the good job they do. They're really appreciated even though we don't remember to tell them so very often. Deadline, March l5! The PORTAL staff and its adviser, Mr. Criste, sighed with relief. The last hurdle has been cleared, and the T951 yearbook is in the lap of the printers. Pies, cakes, cookies, fudge, and lots of other good things to eat! The occasion was the Senior bake sale March 16. lt seems that no one can pass up sweets, for it didn't take long to sell out. The Junior Y-Teens chanced off Easter candy on the 22nd, The big prize was a five-pound fruit and nut egg. March 22 marked the begin- ning of a four-day vacation, and when classes resumed on the 27th everyone had had his till of chocolate candy, ielly beans, and hard boiled eggs. Morgan and Dahler, sent to us by the Antrim Bureau, entertained us on the 30th. The P. T. A. planned a minstrel show to replenish its treasury, but the proiect was voted out in favor of Miss Messina's talent show which was so well received by our own student body, and which was successfully produced at Dale through an exchange program arrangement. CANT WE TALK ABOUT THIS SOME OTHER TIME, GIRLS? On April 6 there was an intermingling of loud colored socks and strains of iuke box music coming from the gym. What could this be but Pep Club's annual Sock Hop? Music lovers Cond parentsj filled our auditorium on April 'll for the Spring Concert. The girls looked lovely in their evening gowns, and of course, the boys did themselves proud, too. Another Friday i3, and another dance by the Seniors! fThe dare devilslj This was the last money-raising function held in connection with the Harrisburg trip, but frankly this was not to help finance our trip to Harrisburg . . . this was to get us back home. Be that as it may, we boarded the bus at 6:00 a. m. on the 27th and headed eastward. A holiday mood pre- vailed as we rolled through the mountains and over the dream highway. Pride and emotion welled up within us as we drove up State Street and came face to face with our Capitol Building. We debarked at the Hotel Harrisburger, and after getting our room assignments, we ate lunch and then began our tour of the Education Building, the Hershey Chocolate Plant, the Her- shey Museum, The Sports' Arena, the State Mu- seum, and the Capitol Buildings. Everything was wonderful except the evenings. They were so short with a 12:30 deadline. We checked out of the hotel on Sunday, and steered our course to Gettysburg for a view of that historic battlefield. Can't tell you more for we must get back to Geistown, and here we are. lt's 9:00 p. m. OH, HAPPY DAY' With the wonderful time in Harrisburg be- hind them, the Seniors got down to work. May is really the busiest time of all for Seniors. There was activity among other groups, too. The Eighth Graders waited a long time for their party, but the affair finally came ofl on the 4th, and they made the most of it by having one swell time. Both the Juniors and Seniors had a marvel- ous time on May 12 when the Juniors played host to the Seniors at a banquet and prom. Not a more beautiful place than the Bedford Springs Hotel could have been chosen for this gala affair. The 13th was Mothers' Day, and the band members honored the mothers in the community by holding a concert especially for them. Final exams! The fatal day was the 25th. We still don't understand why we have to take them. Surely by this time the teachers are aware of our knowledge. Baccalaureate services were helcl Sunday, the 27th, in the high school audi- torium. The next day the school picnic was held at Idlewild. It was a day filled with memories. We heard the Class Will and the Prophecy and had a lot of fun on Tuesday, the 29th, at our Class Day exercises. The biggest day of the year, in fact the biggest day of our lives, we find ourselves the principals in our commencement program. A goal of twelve years has been reached, and another group of Seniors leaves Richland's Portals.

The Juniors run a close second to the Seniors in the number of activities they sponsor. This can be understood, of course, when we know that the Juniors, upholding q tradition of long standing, are hosts to the Senior Class at a banquet and prom. ln this connection they promoted several dances, operated the candy machines for one se- mester, sold Christmas candy by the pound or by the hundredweight, and staged a very successful Junior Class play. The play Just Ducky was presented on February 27. Carole Blanset and Harry Koehler in the lead roles, were supported by a well trained cast and did a superb iob. lt was one ot those highly entertaining comedies wherein each actor was a star. ln the field of sports the Junior Class made its contribution, and the band, choruses, and ensembles were all greatly benefitted by the presence of Juniors. Marlene Williams won first prize and a trophy with her essay on fire prevention, and Jack Gallagher was chosen to participate in the All- State Chorus at Ellwood City. A vote of thanks goes to Miss Green and Mr. Wissler who did much to make the activities of the Junior Class the success they were. 0F 1952 ii'- .I J it DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES. 41:- 'T' .2 .J 3...

The Sophomore class seemed bent on doing everything it could to counteract the stigma attached to the word sophomore. This is a group that seemed anxious and willing to get things done, and if its collective energy can be directed into the proper channels, the year i953 should be a banner year at Richland. Miss Leila Dodd is the class adviser, and she is ably assisted by Mr. Galen Hoffman. Their first social aFFair was a Christmas party, and one of the most exciting events of the year was an all- day trip to Pittsburgh which was undertaken and supervised by their history teacher, Miss Green. Some of the pictures on this page recall a few ot the places visited, such as Radio Station KDKA, Phipp's Conservatory, and the University of Pitts- burgh. Other scheduled stops included the Car- negie Museum, the Block House, and the Buhl Planetarium. ln extra curricular activities the Sophomores were always in there pitching. Two tenth graders made the varsity football team, while the iayvees were richer by eight boys. There were also two Sophs on the basketball varsity and five on the iunior team. One of the prizes tor essays on fire prevention went to Barbara Klimeck, and the class led the school with eleven members in the band. ,Nik ' A .VL X 4 5, x J PM THE FRESHMAN CLASS AS IT IS TODAY FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Tom Gerosin ,,77, C..,,.

However, with the typical en- thusiasm of Freshmen they went forward to meet any challenges. Mr. Carl Lamonica and Mrs. Nora Covode were advisers, and under their guidance they began at once to plan the year's activities. The planning of activities was made easy due to a wholesome spirit of co-operation. The Fresh- man Frolic was their maior social event and was a highly successful affair. The upperclassmen were invited, as well as a few from outside our own school circles. Queen Carol McLaughlin and King Roger Barnhart were the royal hosts. ln regal attire they added color to the evening's festivities. In the field of scholastics the Freshmen proved they had what it takes when, under the guidance of Miss Kauffman, they arranged an elaborate edu- cational display about the Keystone State to mark the Pennsylvania Week celebration. The display which was complete from industry to sports attract- ed the attention of the local press. A picture and a writeup appeared in The Johnstown Tribune. The Freshmen infiltrated the ranks of all clubs and sports to which they were eligible. In football and basketball, in band and in choruses, in all types of competition, the ninth graders were there in force, and it is worthy of note that two prizes in competitive essay writing went to Freshman Lois Eplett.

History records the early death of many a genius because of bodily weaknesses. We can only wonder what the world has lost by the untimely passing of so many of our talented writers and artists and inventors. lt is fitting, then, that our schools, while edu- cating the minds, be not neglectful of bodily re- quirements. Our school, like so many of the pro- gressive schools in this country, has a well rounded health and recreation program, and also provides wholesome nourishment to many through its hot lunch program. Truly it can be said that an eftort is being made to educate the whole child, and to adequately prepare him for his niche in the world. The problem of building sound bodies as titting abodes for sound minds is carried beyond the formal classes in health and weekly gymnasium periods. As season follows season, so game follows game. Opportunities are ever present for using up the excess energy of youth, and converting it into health and strength. Steve Balogh, chosen as a back on the Tribune All-Scholastic Football Team of 1950, leaves an enviable record imprinted on the pages of Richlancl's history of sports. Uohnstown Tribune Photo.D . AND THEIR DOINGS Butting their way through one of their finest years since football began here, Richland and its fabulous Rams finished the i950 gridiron season in a blaze of glory by beating Conemaugh High School, the first Richland team to do so. However, that was just a minor incident on their record. Not only did they compile an 8-won, l-lost record, but they beat a team that had beaten Richland seven years in a row previously. This team was Ferndale. Coach Elwood Varner's charges beat Ferndale this year, i9-6. Playing in that game were Robert Montgomery, tackle, and Walter Bloom, back, who served as honorary co-captains of the team because the following day they left for services with the National Guard in defense of our country instead of Richland's football record. After the Ferndale game, Shepherd Varner stampeded his herd over Berlin- Brothers Valley, 33-13, Portage Joint, 26-6, and Beaverdale, 20-O. Then the stampede ended abruptly as it met a flock of Eagles from Somerset that promptly turned back the Rams' horns with a hard earned 27-20 victory. They tried hardest to escape! the Eagles' claws, but to no avail as their final drive butted out with the gun ending the game and the scoring attempt on the Somerset three-yard line. Chief Ram, Steve Balogh, then reherded his battered but not beaten fellow male sheep, and began another stampede which was not stopped. Under Captain Steve the Rams not only shaded, but completely shadowed Shade Township, 25-6. Next the Rams met another flock of birds. This time they were not eagles, but birds of a different feather. They were the Blue Jays of Franklin, whom the Rams decided would be a delicate dish, so Varner's sheep gobbled up the Blue Jays to the tune of 33-20. For the third time this season Richland met a bevy of birds, namely, the Falcons of South Fork, but although they are birds of prey as eagles are, they could not overcome the horns of the Rams, and went down in defeat 'I9-O. By now the stam- pede' had become invincible, and even the force of a locomotive such as the Iron Horse of Conemaugh could not stop the drive, and the season ended gloriously as the lron Horse crumbled under the hoofs of the Rams. ln spite of the very successful season, the Rams could not vie for championship honors since they did not play sufficient games in league competition.

With experience lacking and their horns iust mere spikes, the Lambs, coached by Mr. William Smith, finished their petite season with a one won and three lost record. The Lambs lost their first game to the Trojan Juniors of Johnstown High, 22-O. Then as the swarm of baby blue Hornets of Adams met with the small Rams, the latter's bleats were accounted for as Richland lost, 35-O. Another swarm of insects and another loss was chalked up tor the Lambs as they lost to the Hornet Juniors of Ferndale. Baby Rams must be more powerful than Baby Mustangs, because the Lambs won their only game of the season by defeating the Baby Mustangs of Portage, 33-7. Acting very much like their slightly older brothers, the Lambs, and not at all like their grown-up brothers, the Rams, Richland's Junior High football team, the Lambkins, ended their season of three games with a 'l, l, and l record. Coach Edel- mann's charges proved good prey for the Baby Hornets of Ferndale who clipped what little fleece the Lambkins had to beat the latter, 15-0. However, the Lambkins battled the same Baby Hornets for a sting in the second game as this scrap ended in a 0-0 tie. Like their grown up brothers, the Lambkins feasted on the Baby Blue Jays of Franklin and also gobbled them up, 'I9-0. ROW i-Cononie, Gerosin, Parker. ROW 2-Coach Edelmann, Matcho, Markin, M.

R-I-C-H-L-A-N-D RICHLAND! R - - A - - M - - S yell our cheerleaders, cmd the hills reverberate with echoes as the fans inthe stands take up the cheer. Ever present to urge our players on to victory were Barbara Deitke, Lois Jean Rudge, Waunita Wertz, Mildred Warshel, Evelyn Shirt, and Barbara Klimeck. Always ready, capable, and willing to substitute for any ofthe regular sextet were Gloria Phizacklea and Lillian Lickar, equally expert as dispensers of P -- - E - - P, PEP. Practice, co-ordination, and new cheers placed these girls among the best cheer- leaders in the area. In recognition of a iob well done, they were among the honor guests at both the band and football banquets. Special honors went to Barbara Deitke and Lois Jean Rudge for outstanding work on the cheering squad when each was presented the school letter. The Junior High's cheering section was led very ably by Eileen Barry, Illene Hol- singer, Regina Puto, Delores Zarefoss, Judy Wertz, and Janice Gilroy, with Sally Glessner substituting.

ROW 2-Hrabosky, Schmidt, Charney, Alwine, Matey. Shepherd Elwood Varner produced a team of championship qualities this year as the Rams went as far as the District 6, Class B, semi-final playoffs. After starting the season on the right foot by defeating Ferndale 40-39, the Rams started on what was hoped would be another spec- tacular stampede as in football, but hopes were dimmed when they lost to Adams Township. A game in the new War Memorial was a thrilling experience, though the thrill lost some of its punch when the score ended in Dale's favor. High scorer for the Rams was the leader of the flock, Captain Steve Balogh, who scored 381 points. In the play-offs the Rams beat Homer City, but failed to overcome the force of undefeated Cresson. Adams Township, Richland's iinx, again subdued the Rams in the St. Francis College Tournament. J. V's ..........

ROW 2-Pilera, Mack, Brandle, Wise, Coach Wear, Bloom, Yamber, Fefler, Kenno. With three freshmen and four sophomores on a Team of twelve players, the Rams' 1950 baseball Team did right well for itself. Coach Robert Wear's gang sported a 5 and 5 record in the won and lost columns of the Tri-County League, which was good for the second year in that group. IT is worthy of note that This 'team was the first in the history of Richland to be in full uniform. When the phrase, play ball, is called in fufure years, Richland fans can feel proud of a fine club. Umpire, Mrs. Nadrashi calcher, Holsinger, batter, Boyer. S F T B L L O A G A L M A S T U D Y I N C L O U D F O R M A T l O THEY'RE BIRDS . . . THEY'RE PLANES . . . THEY'RE MAJORETTES! N TOP--Bloom, Cononie, Penrod. BOTTOM-Griftith, Stuart, Heinze, Smith. S Patty Griffith, in lower left, has been selected as one of the Starlcttes who will participate n e All Star game in Pittsburgh August 16, 1951. Some day the question will probably be asked, Which came Hrst, the band or the maior- ettes? At present, however, there is no ques- tion about which comes first in parade forma- tion. Keeping in step with the snappy cadences of the drummers, the maiorettes, with their artistic maneuvering and skillfully executed drills, add a touch of glamour to the band. While we pay tribute to the maiorettes, let us also salute the band for its many fine per- formances during the course of the school year. ACTIVITIES lt matters little in what walk of life we find ourselves, a measure of happiness and success can be ours if our lives are dedicated to usefulness. Riches, fame, and position are not in themselves capable of giving us those greatly desired qualities. They are within the reach of everyone, and the best formula for their attainment is a useful life based on sound moral and religious principles. Usefulness does not mean that we must serve the state as a high official, it does not mean the directing of a great industry, it does not mean that each of us must make a spectacular discovery. It simply means the doing of our own Qob in the best way we can. Greatness and world renown are for the few. Success is within the reach of all. A sound mind and a sound body are invaluable assets, but more important is how well we use them. No matter how humble our station, our place in the scheme of things is important. The greatest tragedy is a wasted life. May we all live our lives with a purpose, remember- ing our motto which states that Failure is the only thing that can be achieved without effort.

It contains 1,792 fiction and non-fiction books, 41 dictionaries, eight different sets of en- cyclopedias, and 1,000 other books and pamphlets. The library also receives twenty magazines, and included among the daily newspapers is the New York Herald Tribune. All books are indexed in a card catalogue, and the Dewey-Decimal System is used which greatly facilitates the use of the library. Miss Dodd and her librarians are kept very busy since approximately 125 books pass through their hands each day. They replace books on the proper shelves and keep magazines and papers neatly arranged. The bookbinders keep the books in good repair. COULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN ASSIGNMENT?
