SENIOR HONOR ROLL William Kelly William Baealaek Carl Van Ryn Aliee Kincaid Eugene Kuhn Sara Jane Vvetzei Catherine Powell Miriam Sherwin Esther Walker Lneille Wisner RETROSPECT Graduation Day had come. The senior stood on the threshold of his career. Before him ran a broad road which stretched along valleys and over mountains into the dim mists of the future. Life with its perpetual challenge to Youth was Howing along this road. But the senior iooiced back into the darkness of the past. Little memories clung to him. He saw himself beginning the four years which were now at an end. How well did he remember his bashfulness at the Freshman Party! He could laugh at that now, for his freshman year had given him a certain amount of self-confidence. Then, too, he had been quite proud about being a charter member of the Forum Club. With a chuckle he recalled how he had worried about his first C in conduct. How thrilled he had been about getting a place on the Vaiistic staff and how conscientiously he had worked! Could he ever forget the swings in the gym and the Junior Prom? The Junior Play had been quite an important event in his life, too. O, the joyous ecstasy of defeating Wiikinsburg for the first time in Swissvaie's football history! No one could ever forget that memorable day. How much he had enjoyed the Senior Play, and what fun it had been to again become a child at the Senior Kid Party! But now the senior realized that all these things belonged to the past: the future with all its promises lay before him,-the world was his to conquer. He stepped forth upon the road and faced the dawn. The senior was looking for- ward.

He is less enthusiastic about current cinema productions and heiieves that the Golden Age of movie Uthriiiersn he- gan and ended with HThe Birth of a Nationn.

HIS division deals with art and music. All sciiooi life is not made up of test tuiles, grammar, tangents, and Book- keeping. Tiiere is another side which is equaiiy important. Courses in music and art have come to be considered as necessary as tile more practicai subjects. Perhaps it is une just to classify them as iaeing less practical than otiiers. Certainly, studies from wiiicii so much imenefit is derived should iJe considered practical. Aitiiougii tiiis benefit is not always found in concrete form, yet it is as reai as any good wiiicii is more manifest. Music has never been adee quateiy defined, and few have attempted to name art. Nevertheless, a beautiful symphony or a weiifpainted picture gives one something which ite wiii never entirely iose. The study of music and art, tiien, gives not a iiand- ruie for mastering life, but a spirit which enaiaies the stu- dent to understand and enjoy time iiving of that life. with this in mind, the teachers of art and music have guided their classes. - 5 ART Huicia Kosi, Doroliiy Dignan, iviary ixioricte, Alive Seiiuitz, John Nieiiell, Jessie Seiiuile, Peggy Lauer, Beily Snycicr, VX iHizini Sfeii, Jack Janes, Nviiiizun Goicisniiiii, James Penieii, Roiicrt Tiiorne, Ciarenrie George, Roiacrl Gniuix-rl, Richard Regan.

Page Tfiirty-Iwo ART ACTIVITY GROUPS The aim of the art course ot Swissvaie High School is to make the students art conscious, that is, sensitive to good coior, torm, and design, whether it be in the home, tor business, or simpiy tor one's own enjoyment. To further this end the Young Vvomangs Club of Swissvate gave a prize for the piece it considered the most outstanding ot ati the high schooi art work. The Vvomanis Club aiso presented its annuai prizes tor the best posters made tor the Annual Flower Show. The sophomores had quite a talented class this year. in the library they exhibited wax etchings and book iiiustrations tor Niother Goose. These were in- tended to interest the grade children in hooks. The librarians themseives selected the iiiustration which they thought was the best tor a childs book. Not to he outdone. the junior ciass made designs for ciothing. They aiso originated safety-First sketches for Miss iVtcAipin. ixiost unusual and ciever were the masques and the Christmas card blocks made by the seniors. One of each of the cards was sent to the patients ot the U. S. Veterans Hospitai ot Aspinwait who sent them to their friends. Sketch ciasses were heid once a week for several months. interested students of any ciass couid take part. Footbaii and basketball piayers and non-art students were ohiiging models. Under the cheeriui guidance ot ixiiss Thomas the students enjoyed their work and benefited by it. Xvhen a student ot art has successtuiiy put his own idea into visible torm, he has accompiished something which wiii be ot everiasting benetil to his develop- ment as a cuitured, creative human being.

THE ORCHESTRA This year, as heiore, the orchestra ot' the high school has heen the most active group oi the Music Department. This group is Composed ot eighteen violins, one ceiio, one hass vioi, six ciarinets, three saxophones, two trumpets, one trombone, and lwo pianists. its playing for both the Senior and the Junior ptays was enjoyed hy ati. The orchestra reached the high spot of its year when it accompanied pinatoren, an operelta hy Giihert and Sullivan. Following their custom, the memhers gave a concert for the G.A.R. Home in Swissvaie. As a reward for the tine work tooth the orchestra and hand did iast season, Niiss Hamilton, their director, gave them a picnic, which was held in Edgewood Park early tast fait. Needless to say, this was a merry ailfair, and ati enjoyed themselves. Page Tlliriyffour BAND For the lhirct season since its reorganization loy ixfiiss Hamilton the Swissvaie High School hand put in its appearance at the iootiuaii games. At every home game the hand marched out upon the Field with Ann Goiuhoti as cirum major. The laanci consisted ol tive tromloones, twelve ciarinets, eight trumpets, one cornet, four saxaphones, one meiiophone, one tulma, three snare cirums, anti one ipass cirum. This organization was considerably larger than those of the last few years indicating an increasing interest on the part of the student hotly. The excitement and enjoyment of the games was increased loy its rendition oi several stirring marches, among them, Hsuccessu, uHeadwayu, and alittle Rastusu. The last lew years have proved that no football game is complete without the hand out on the iieici to urge on the players and add to our enjoyment of the games.

PON the following pages a brief account of the faculty of Swissvale High School is placed. In a yearbook it is often difficult to cleat in an interesting and varied manner with a group which constitutes one of tile fixecl factors of school life. Classes of stu- dents are continually arriving and departing, out the teaching staff remains permanent to a great ctegree. This permanency, 110109 UGT, makes the faculty an interesting group of people to be included in time sciiooi annual. For in their stay at an eciu- cational institution sucii as tiiis, instructors come to have a Better understanding of the type of students which they are teaciiing. It is not unusual for one teacher to be tile instructor of several meminers of a single family within the period of a few years. Such a knowledge of their students' background is invaluable in their profession. Moreover, this knowledge en- ables time members of tile faculty to form opinions on tile various things which they like and oiisiiiee in their ciasses. Tiiese opinions always prove of interest to the students. The section on the faculty, tiierefore, is given over to silort articles on time likes and dislikes of eacii teaciier. Nlay these articles give you a Better understanding of tiiese instructors.

First of all, Erma Auloele would he the heroine, and Jaclc Shultz the hero. The heroine would loe shut in the family ranch house with her sisters, Anna Bratina, Peg Berninger, Dolores Austin, and Florence Anthony. They would he held there hecause Indian chiefs Bill lxlowalc and perlcy Carter had led their hand of redslcins, Bill Smith, Jaclc Isles, Ed Stuart, Dom Blando, Tony lvlurello, Ben Pozelc, .lack Rogers, and Dick Riley, against the house. Just as the loraves were ahout to hrealc in, the heroine would signal with a mirror to Gertrude Cairns, who lived across the valley. She would Page Fifty-two signal to Margie Carlson, who would pass it on to Janette Catone. Then the would go to Kay Caldwell. Finally, Dolores Cecchino would receive it and tell the hero. He would immedi- ately leap upon his trusty horse Sterling lHi Ho, Sterlingll and take his sturdy loand of cowhoys, Morris Scoratow, Bernard Steimer, Bill Tillie, Andy Voyna, Blair Westover, Joe Scandinaro, and Jim Vvillson to the rescue.

Hal Hal IF I WERE A THEATRICAL AGENT IN ROOM Six l'd never have any trouble to Find enough talent for my productions. l could have a beautiful water ballet for a special act with those enthusiastic swimming fans, Marion Nesbit, Marie Donnelly, Hazel Fleming, and .ieanne Eustis, as the stars. Another of my most popular acts would be the skating exhibitions of Josephine Cecere, Betty Dietrich, Shirley Cimriclc, Anna Marie Delino, and Lucile Glaser. Of course, Ida Bell Cook, An- toinette Diana, lxflary Harrington, Ruth Crosby, and Betty Ann Hill would pre- sent their interpretations oi all modern dances. John Rutledge and his swing band would tour the country with Carrie Kinsel and Norma Downing as the featured vocalists. Betty Gabany would be a good drawing card because of her ability as a pianist. Roy Ford would malie an excellent Nlaster-oi-Ceremonies with his ready wit, and Anna Mae Gannon would carry out a stunt on a tight rope with her bicycle. I thinlc that I would make Russell George, Bill Fraser, Franlc Gottuso, Bob Bergstrom, Ed Evagues, and George Daniels my representatives in different sections of the country. Frank Dejoseph would be in charge of all my records. Anna Fraser, Agnes Deley, uslcippyn Cimino, and Evelyn Fisher would be the supervisors in the work of rehearsing all acts. IF I WERE THE lVlAYoR IN Room EIGHT I bet that my administration would be a model for efficiency. l'd malce Dick Brandt the district attorney and Norman Erilcson, Bill Kautz, and Dan Slivlca assistant district attorneys. Bill Burnside would be the police commissioner. in the police department Bill Knepper, Adam Fisher. John Vvillcerson, Diclc lxfliller, Bill Reed, and Vvayne Heath would all be inspectors. Dolores Cummings would become city treasurer, and Eleanor James city cleric. The department of education would include Tillie Urban, Alice Leban, Scotty Leiper, and Vincent Byrne. The council in my administration would be composed of Bill Berry, Dean Feeher, Walter Connor, Henry Boyer, Bob Brad- ley, Bob Eiseman, and Charles Conlogue. in the department of public worlcs would be Alan Mcstea, Bill Edmundson, Dick Nliller, Bill Brady, Ed Chuchlco. Bill Furnier, Bob ivlinser, and John Nlarelcs. XVe would be noted for Hgood govern- ment.

Praise for Andy Lanyils latest song would receive prominence. Then, too, l would dwell on the collections of Goldie Vvoffenden. Ed Quinten, Jaclc Welsh, Peggy Steele, Violet Spudich, Quentin slcrabec, and Shirley Steele. lvlention oi Dorothy Carrys hobby, Chinese checlcers, would appear. People would like to read about Virginia Callahan, Alberta VVet- zel, Mary Zeolla, Agnes Vallo, Laura Telly, and Eunice VVoidlce, the sport fans. I'd tell what Frances Tomasic and Jessie Thorne were doing in the fields of literature and music. A story about Joe Vvalcefield, that 'heart-brealcer, would be popular. Finally, l would say why l thinlc Jeanne Vierheilig, Betty Steiner, Doris Wagner, Merle VVacl4er, Bob Meigs, and Ed Baker seem to enjoy them- selves so much. IF I WERE KING IN Room FIVE l'd have the best court in the world. Betty McCall would be my queen and Sam lovino would be my Lord Chamber- lain. Joe Bednarczylc, as the Captain of the Guard, would protect my realm with the aid of those sturdy guardsmen, Bill Jaclcson, Diclc Kuhn, Harvey Laney, Al Levens, and Walter Marshall. rd have tlaclc lVlcGarrity for my Councillor. The court would never be gloomy with UGoo- Goon Wallin, Dan Lessa, and Ray Leopold as the jesters. lyd malce Maxine lvlclxlemar, Sarah Humlan, Ruth Hodges, Mildred James, Helen lvlatelan, Sally Nlclvlichael, and uchrisu Brink all countesses of the realm. Melba Kem- merer, Betty lvlccrarrity, Elsie Jessell, uconniew Wright, Betty McFarland, Eleanor Larson, Peggy Kennedy, Cecilia Koslci, and Josephine Macalusa would serve as the fair Ladies-in-Waiting to the queen. Theresa lVlanno, Helen Lang- ham, and Barbara Krivyanslci would wear coronets as duchesses. Jack Nic- Ginn and Harry Nlccartney would be lcnighted right away. Why, with such subjects my lcingdom would be an Utopial IF I WERE A GREAT PAINTER IN ROOM FOUR l'cl paint a beautiful mural of all the people in that room. I'd show all the sport fans such as Lois Schultz, Rita Meerhoff, Chuclc Morris, Bill Radalcovic, Bill Sheffler, Angeline Morice, Joanna Pozutto, and Rose Marie Robine. These people would be busily engaged in their favorite sports. Those scientists, Jerome Boyle. Franlc Palangio, Glenn Parton. Bob Peusch, and Dave Richards, would be designing airplanes and worlcing with radio apparatus. ln another part of the painting Reda Mittendorfer, Mary Prantl, Page Fifty-four Marie Protheroe, and Miriam Rost vvoutd be displaying their abitity as skaters.

Frankie Freshman dreamed as follows. Amid the hoisterous cheers of the excited on- lookers, the gay and colorful freshman circus began. Boh Testa came strutting along the sawdust track with his hand hlaring out a carnival tune. Then a troup ol clowns, Dave Richards, Carl Vvoleslagle, Chuck Lewis, and Nlerle Wacker, capered in front of the stands and played a thousand tricks. Several great Hoats passed next, carrying the circus stars, Betty McCall, lVlary Louise Urioanic, and Betty Beatty. The cages oi wild animals were then drawn past loy teams of white horses. Frankie Freshman thought he recognized some ol the animals as former humans. That gorilla, now, had a lace like . . .

The interest shown in the new puhlication insured it a place as a major school activity. nDer Spiegel!! was a mimeographed paper containing an average ot' ten pages. Since it was founded to provide an opportunity tor the students to read more German, much ot the written material was in German. School news, editorials. hoolc reviews, surveys ot student opinion on various school attairs, and selections ot German literature were included tor the more serious-minded. For those who tilted diversion in their reading there were gossip columns, cartoons, humorous articles, and a page ot comics drawn lay the student artists. Every memher ot the statt a definite part in the puhlication. The co- editors, Dorothy Harris and Vvilliam Kelly, decided the editorial policy ot the paper and acted as general supervisors. lvliriam Sherwin. the news editor, husied herself with writing the school news and gossip columns. ln this she was aided hy a news stallt composed ot Leroy Brown, Paul Castner and Alice Schultz. A feature which attracted much attention this year was the uForumH, a discussion ot school attairs and topics ol interest hy the students themselves. Sally Tyler acted as Forum editor. Under the art sponsorship of lVliss Estelle Thomas, Dan Lindstrom, the art editor, succeeded in adding to the interest ot the written articles hy his numerous illustrations and drawings. He also directed the worli ot .laclc Jones and Vvilliam Crawford who drew the cartoons and comic strips. The management ot all husiness attairs was under Vernon Jackson. Don Fulton aided in publication hy typing and stenciling. Translating the English into German was under the direct supervision ot Nliss Schimmel.

It was no easy tasIc to provide a varied program of entertainment, and the way in which this was accompIished showed hard woric and earnest cooperation. Where- fore, all are called upon to Ioring this hand its just reward-the resounding appiause of the entire schooi. Page Seventy-four CHAPEL PROGRAMS Variety was the lieynote lor assembly programs this year. XVirh the newly formed assemlnly program committee as chels. a steady llow ot choice dishes, spiced with humor and garnished with seriousness. poured into the auditorium iirom the entertainment tcitchen every Tuesday. Assemlmly day was always eagerly awaited and lew tastes was tell uncatered to. Programs ranged lrom a serious talli on art to the mad capers ol the Hitch Prrothersii. The appetites ol all were thoroughly whetted early in the year when the lirst programs were presented. From then on, the ensuing stream ol excellent entertainment turned the whole high school into gourmands. General interest programs atmounded in wit. practical inlormation. music lor all tastes, and appreciation lor the liner things. Fir. George Elias. whose lectures always sparlde with his vivid personality. gave a return lecture on the tile ot Cot. T. E. Lawrence. ttotmliies held the llloor when lid Rowlands, the worldis premier autograph collector, made an appearance to tell the student lgody aluout some ol his interesting experiences as a holohyist. Then came the always enter- taining movies lJy the Chevrolet Automo- lmile Company. IX novel note was struelc lay the Swissvatianf stall in their sales program when an old-fashioned Umellerdrarnmern, complete from tlustles to oil lamps, was presented according to the cherished tradi- tions ol the stage. A decided yearning tor the lite ol a sailor was noticed among the lmoys alter the Pittsluurgh Recruiting Gtlice ol the United States Navy presented films dealing with lite in the naval service. A very unusual program was given toy the Vatistie stalll to start the sulmscription drive in the second semester. A series ol indian dances with authentic costumes was pre- sented. Appropriate programs were always given lor holidays. The Armistice Day assemlnty had for its speaker, Ntr. Elder ol the American Legion. At Thanlcsgiving time Reverend ixlilholland ol the United tjreslmyterian Church addressed the student lmody. Then Christmas arrived and was olmserved in assemlmly hy a play, mtihe Christmas GilHITl6i'. which was thoroughly enjoyed. Ar the assemlily preceding Easter vacation. Reverend P. tt. Nlullen gave an interesting tallc on the true values ol Easter. Ed Thorne. a graduate ol Swissvale High School. sang a litting Easter song. Eugene l.omlmardi played several selections on his violin. Page S4-verify lim 2 E IOR PLAY Page Seventy-six Spring Fever was an amusing tate of college lite and of a boarding iiouse. The owner of this establishment, a strarp- spoicen but soft-hearted person, was por- trayed by Rita Nied. Howard Brant, played by Art Griffin, had a few scholas- tic trouiaies, but ixiary Catherine Niiiier, as I'liS Aunt iyiaude, helped trim to iron those out. She talked Carl Van Ryn, in time role of Professor Bean, into giving Howard his chance to graduate by using tier magnetic cilarm on iwim. Vic Lewis, an artist played by Bill Davis, had a positive genius for always being in some sort of trouioie, and David Huot, in his rote as a chemistry student, fell heir to an appreciative audience. Virginia Full- manys beauty as Anne Purcell much im- pressed her loved one, Howard Brant. Her friend Vivian George, played by Helen Eyier, was more than fond of Vic Lewis. Tony Koontz and Alice Kincaid, as Mr. and Mrs. Purcell, proved very laugh-provoking. Lou Herron, a tom-boyish and breezy journalist, was played by Jane ivictfeag. Kermit Linde- berg played the roie of time usually irate president of the coiiege. Spring Fever provided lusty entertainment in the High School Auditorium on the evenings of December ninth and tentix. SOCIAL EA O The social season ol Swissvale High School was kept in full Hswingn all year hy a series ot parties and dances. The Swissvalian staff was first to dare the social arena loy giving a Halloween Party to raise funds for the yearlooolc. On the evening of October the twenty-eighth said funds and the ceiling of the high school gym were raised simultaneously. Enough said. Next to trot proudly into the spotlight were the freshmen and sophomores with their class parties. The fresh- men spent the evening. utruclcing on downn to the music ot their own swing hand. Variety was the lceynote tor the Sophomore Party. Among other diversions the nsophsu showed their Hsophisticationu hy participating with gusto in a hog-calling contest. Art Hennings definitely proved his superiority loy out-hellowing the rest of his class. The evening was rounded out hy a musical extravaganza featuring sophomore talent. The popular tri-class swings filled up the intervals hetween the more gala social events. Although these dances were held monthly, they seemed all too few for the ujittertmugsu. The high school again proved its versatility loy turning out some usvvingstersu of high calilore. We nominate Helen Pcholinslci and HFatsH lvlalady as the leading Ujitterhugsu of the school. Theirs is an art that is truly unique. Honorable mention goes to Tommy Nied for his Hleap-trog dance . The seniors were the next to achieve prominence hy a mass reversion-to-type lcnown as the Senior Kid Party. At this attair, strangely enough. all appeared in garh of days gone hy.

Page Seventy-eigtzt SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB Under the guidance ot their sponsors, Miss Edith tVlacLeod and lwiss lvlargaret Jones, the senior girls rounded out another successful and active year. The officers elected this year were: Helen Eyler, president: June Apel, vice presidentg Catherine Powell, secretary: Lucille Nvisner, treasurer. Nvith the hearty cooperation of the memhers the cluh accomplished its purpose-the promotion of a more friendly spirit among the girls ol Swissvale High School. The lirst social event ol the year was a party which was held in the basement of the lihrary in flctoloer. As usual, the girls dressed dolls at Christmas time for the needy children of the Swissvale schools. These dolls were displayed in the office of Nlr. Douglasg Dorotllyi' Harris won tirst prize for the hest dressed doll. The girls sold candy at the loothall and haslcethall games and in the halls at school, under the supervision ol Harriett Vvagoner. This project much toward increasing the treasury fund. The next event ol the year was the St. Valentineys Day Tea, at which lvliss Frances Stewart, a former teacher, tallied on spring fashions. This talk was much enjoyed hy the girls and hy the teachers who were present. ln April each of the girls invited a hoy to a dance which was held in the gymnasium. The season was pleasantly hrought to a close hy the annual Faculty Tea, and, ot course, the Mothers' Tea.

They have lived there a long time and are very much in love, like all good heroes and heroines of stories are. One spring morning in April while our hero was walking down Main Street, he met Percival, the worst laoy in town. tl know that Percival isn't a good name for a had hoy, hut who the heck's writing this story?l Anyhow our hero met Percival and didn't like him. fl know one shouldnt hate people, hut he didn,t like him in the first place, so thatys all right. Hello , said our hero as he glanced at Percival. uHello , said Percival as he threw a daggery look at our hero. ul see that you are still going around with Mahel, the prettiest girl in town. Yes , said our hero. lf you say anything slanderous ahout her, I'II sue you for libel. lstrange talk for a small town hoy.l UYea-a-a-an, said Percival. ul dare you to lift a linger against men. With that our hero, with the speed of lightning, knocked him down. That was easy hecause our hero was hig and strong like all heroes should he, and Percival was weak and a little cracked like all crooks. l'II get even with you for this if it's the last thing I do , Percival cried as he staggered to his car and drove away. Uur hero continued down the street to the mill where he worked. When he got there he punched the clock and hegan to work like two men. fHis dual personality., Alter work he walked home and was surprised to see his house all lit up. lAren,t we allffl He rushed in to see what was the matter. His mother told him that Mahel had disappeared! Hvvhatlv he cried, ulxflahel disappeared? l'II het this is the work of Percival. Let's see. Where would he take her? Hum-m-m-m-m. I knowl When I saw Percival's car today the wheels were covered with red mud. The only place that has red mud is his l:ather's farm. With that he flew up to his room. He dressed alter a fashion that the Shadow would approve ot and proceeded on his way. fvve now pause for station identilicationj ln a half hour, he reached the farm. Then he started creeping around the place to tind an entrance. At this point someone should have opened the door and cried out, UVVho goes there?u But no one did, so our hero kept on. He found the rear window unlocked and so gained entrance. Creeping toward the stairs, he humped into a chair. Begging its pardon, our hero set it upright and went up the stairs like a three oyclock hushand. Going to the third door on the left, he opened it silently. Sidling in, he closed the door. Sure enough, in the corner lay Mahel all tied up in a neat little hundle. Vvith his little knife with the razor-sharp hlade, he cut the ropes off her. He whispered in her ear, At last you are free. Gil, no you're notu, said a silvery voice loehind our heroys hack. Our hero waited until the first Hood of shame had passed over him and then whirled around like the Shadow would. There was Percival standing in the doorway with a cute little forty-tive in his right hand. tHe was right-handedl 'Slim going to shoot you , he said. Qur hero did some quick thinking like all heroes do. Then he knew what he was going to do. He raised his left hand and while Percival was looking at it, threw a hasehall at him with his right. tHe also was right-handed., Like all heroes he should have hit him, hut alas, he missed. Vvith that gesture, Percival shot our hero through the heart. Our hero sank dead upon the Hoor. After that, Percival forced Mahel to marry him, and they lived happily ever after, fdespite dishpan hands and pink toothhrushl. They shouldnyt have, hut they did.

Now the rain is pouring down, Soaking up the thirsty groundg The waves crash high on cliff and doclcg A Hash of lightning cleaves a rock.
