They tell us how they take part in School Governmentev THE year 1941 will undouhteclly come down as one ol the most outstanding in the history of Swissvale High School. This year something entirely new was introduced to the students. About the middle of the last semester, Mr. Douglas announced his intentions of organizing student participation in school control. lmmedi- ately the prohlem of setting up an efficient organization hegan. lVlr. Douglas, who had heen malcing an intensive study ol? its advantages and disadvantages, was well prepared to cope with all prohlems, as was Mr. Parker, our sponsor, who not only had talcen an active part in student council in his school days, hut was an ardent haclcer of the organization of our own council. The primary purposes of the Council was to develop student responsihility, initiative, leadership, and school prideg to promote citizen- ship trainingg to provide for pupil expressiong and to promote school activities. The Student Council was organized on the hasis ot home room representation. Each home room was organized with a president, a vice- president, a secretary, and a treasurer. The presidents represented their respective rooms on the Student Council. Before a hill could he hrought hetore the Council, it had to he en- acted upon hy the home room in which it originated. ln this way the less sensihle ideas were eliminated hefore they reached the Council. This was especially necessary since so much time was needed in drafting a constitution. At the first meeting of the Council, George Anderson was elected president, Howard Walther as vice-president, Helen Gadis as secretary, and .lames Byrne as treasurer. Along with these the following were also representa- tives on the Council: John Saunders Ijdrr Wilkins Jenn Vrerheller Rohert Sylves John Roth Ben Pozelc Gene lVlolVlnllen Sidney Aurelio Maxine lVloNernor Ed Stuart Roy Ford Marie Hoot Ed Damreau Jeanette Catone Celestina Tronetti John lXflcGarrity Charles Wright Bernard Lalouslies Alex Bigman Florence Chorloa George Preston Doris Eamigh Ben Pozeic, treasurer: Niaxine yicNc-rnar, secretary: Cimucii iwierris. prCSifl0Hi Of tile junior class, are snappeai talking linings over witil Ed Stuart.

Worliing on the Swissvalian Sv THE goat this year has been to have a Hbigger and betteru yearboolc. To aid in attaining this goal, the production ot our annual was given an early start with the election ot the editors,-Norma Ebersole and Dale MacDonald ,-and the appointment ot the staff during the tirst month ot school. The business statt included George Ander- son, Managerg Annabel Strang, Bill Kann, Alfred Baeslaclc, and Gloria Duncan. To these energetic individuals Went the taslc ot financing our yearbook. Many a good heel and sole were worn thin in the process ot obtaining ads and patrons. The art statt, consisting ot Marjorie Vviclcerham and Sam Nlalinoslci, helped to malce our bool: interesting, attractive, and originalg we can indeed be proud ot the slcilltul art worlc tound throughout its pages. Aiding and abetting the stalt was Norma Ebersole, to whom we are indebted for her fine pen and inlc drawings ot Swiss Miss and Swiss Mister. The sports Writeups, bringing again to us those cherished victories and those throat-chole ing deteats, were ably handled by Jim Byrne, Ralph Forquer and Jean Vierheller. Vve became better acquainted with our administration and taculty through interesting paragraphs by Mildred Braun, Margaret Jones, and Betty Hahn. The interesting and amusing snapshots tound on the various pages ot our annual were talcen by our class photographers, Chuclc Fusco and Don Fitzpatrick. Senior write-ups are al- ways a problem, this year they tell on the shoulders ot Mary Louise Robinson and Ray Forquer, whose patience and observance brought out in their worlc amazing characteristics ot their fellow classmates. ln the preparation ot every yearbook there are mistalces, but through our diligent and taith- tul proot readers, .lean Vvhite and Betty Bain, we believe the Swissvalian to be tree ot errors. The various activities ot our school must not be slighted. Elizabeth Brozovich and Bob Alrich served nobly in bringing the interesting tacts to us in an interesting way. Nlable Vvebber was given the job ot tinct- ing out whatss new in the junior, sophomore and freshmen classes. Vvorlcing with her were Maxine 1VlcNemar, Jim Hodder. and Virginia Vvebberf-rand we lcnow you will agree that she and they a tine job. Last but not least, we have the typing statt i-fa very essential asset to any yearboolc. Serving the Swissvalian with their trusty typewriters were Pat1V1cKee, Grace lvlclzaughlin and Betty Batdt. The 1941 Swissvalian has been a lot ot worlcg it has been a lot ot tun. There have been irritating problems to surmount and annoying ditterences to overcome, but the statt and the editors have derived satistaction trom their under- talcingsg they have tried to malce the 1041 Swiss- valian ditterent, original, and a boolc to be cherished always by the graduates ot 141. Priya' rltlrirly' nil The Valistie Staff was talented, progressive sv WITH Phyllis First as its editor, the 1940-41 Valistic got olll to a good start. Phyllis, previous three years of experience on the paper had well acquainted her with the mechanics ot putting a paper together, and this, along with her enthusiasm for the worlc, resulted in the ex- cellent paper we enjoyed receiving all during the year. Not only was the staff hlessed with an efficient editor, the editor was hlessed with a fine staff. Believe it or not, the reporters prac- tically never had to loe hounded for their material. in fact, most of them even anticipated the dead- ine. But now for the paper itself: Every other Friday, on piclcing up a Valistic, most ot us turn to a favorite column, lout how many start with the first page? The strilcing masthead at the top of Page One is an example of the fine worlc our art students accomplish. There were more sketches, cartoons, and illustrations this year than ever hefore. The Art Editor, Gertrude Geyer, and her assistants, Galoe Valentino, Sam lvlalinoslci, Boh Johns, Adeen Johnson, Marie Huot, Betsy Mason, and Helen Sterner made the Valistic an artistic triumph. ln rememhering the many features the Valistic ran this year one is sure Joanne Wetzel, Feature Editor, had her hands full. Now let,s see, just what were they? 'For Men Qnlyn of course, one of the girls, favorite columns-'Dale MacDonald was the guiding spirit in its meanderings. Do you recall the slight hint of teuding loetween the Swisses? 'Swiss lVliss,,' Carl Vvoleslagle when shorn of his nom-de- plume, gave us his snappy snoopings, and 'Swiss lVlister,H Mary Alice Dillie in private lite, amused us with her humorous gossip.

The clear and accurate typing of this yearys Valistic was all due to Helen Gadis, Betty Baldt, Betty lnnes, Grace lvlclaaughlin, Pat Nlcliee, Ruth Ballas, Genevieve Friedhot, Dorothy lvlatany, Arlene and lngrid Pearson, the girls whose nimlole fingers proved careful fingers, too. Junior typists who gained experience dur- ing the second semester were Helen Sterner, Betty Gahany, Mary Zeolla, Frank Palangio, Ruth Kuhn, Anna Marie Defino, Pat Vvalsh, Rose Catanzano, Marion Mason, and Sara Humlan. From these students next year,s puhlications staff will he selected. To those other staff memloers who helped in so many assignments goes thanlcs for their aid. Eugene Lomhardi, Ruth Christy, Peggy Miller, Beverly Hagadorn, .lim Yearsley, Jeanne Lower, Ruth Griffiths, Betty Thomas, Alma Sticlcel, Audrey Banlcer, and Loretta Rosenhloom could always he counted on to gather all the news. Carl Piclcering, lousiness manager, and his assistants Bill Makin, Ben Pozelc, John ilaclcel, and Phil Kniseley were always on the jolo to see that the paper was mimeographed and ready on time. Morris Scorotow did a good jolo of distrilaution, aided loy Jim Yearsley. Rain or snow, short periods or not, they did their jolo thoroughly and promptly. The freshman staff, sponsored loy Miss Elvira Sutter, was made up of the following promising reporters: Barhara Nichols, Betty Griffin, Jeanne Schultz, Ethelreda Stoclc, Peggy Graf, Alvar Erlandson, Shirley Goodstein, and Elizaheth Redshaw. Due to the excellent cooperation hetween the freshman staff and the memloers of the staff in the high school louilding, advisers Miss Ruth Sutter and Miss Jacohs were spared most of the trials and trihulations that often accompany the sponsoring ot a school paper.

WlllH a liglit and inexperienced squad that bad only tour lettermen returning from tlne 1959 season, it was little wonder tliat tile student body and time general public bad despaired ot seeing a successful display ot football at Swissvale this year. However, under tlie coaciiing of iVlr. Paulie and lVlr. Miller, tilis yearls material was molded into a formid- able gridiron squad. By tlie patience, toil, and careful guidance ot tbese two men, one oi tlsie most spirited and aggressive teams ever to wear tile UBlue and Goldly was developed. possessing brains, speed, and a love tor tlne game, tire boys taced all opposi- tion unafraid. ln tiieir initial performance time team played iiost to Ranlcin. A nip-and-tuclc battle occurred, and eacti team scored six points to end tlie game in a dead- loclc. Une weelc later anotber local rival. Homestead, visited us, and returned iiome on time siiort end ot a 27-7 count, a badly beaten and discouraged group. Then tire powerful Central Catliolic squad, outweigiling Swissvale by a decided margin, invaded our town and banded tlie boys tiieir ilirst defeat. Al- tilougii tlie score was 20-7, tlie 'Blue and Goldu still retained pienty ot tigiit and spirit. ln tlieir first tussle on ioreign soil tile boys over- wtielmed lxiorwin 28-7. A few days later tlfie tbird victory oi tile season was recorded, wilen Duquesne bowed betore tile migtit ot tile Paulie macliine. Tliis Page Forty- two was our only game under tlie ligbts, wliicii proved no iiindrance, tor tifie ilinal count was 20-0. Une weeli later the scboolls for tire cllam- pionsliip was si1attered,.wl1en ttie team journeyed to Braddoclc and was subdued 6-O. ln tile succeeding encounter the powerful, well- drilled lvlunliall aggregation crumbled under time deadly' attack ot power and speed tiiat tire Swissvale eleven displayed. ln tliis slcirmisb tile Swissvalers played perfect football, tile matcli ending witb tile count 25-0 in our favor. The East Pittsburgh game, away, was can- celled due to inclement weatller. This yearls season was climaxed by a stirring victory over Vvillcinsburg. Tire Blue and Goldn slione gloriously tbrougii tlrie tour quarters that i1HVC already become gridiron iiistory. Perfect passing, ex- ceilent running, and iiawless tacicling and blocking by tlsie wlriole team enabled us to conquer our most bitter rival by a I9-6 score. Twenty-tour boys were awarded tlieir letters at tlie annual sports banquet tbis year. This was tlle largest number ot players ever to receive tlrie coveted in tile ilistory oi tile sclriool. Qnly tiiree of tilese men will return to next year,s squad, and tlie suc- cess oi l94l,s team will depend a great deal on tile performance of tlriis quartet oi junior stalwarts. Thrills and spills, cheers and tears CA-9 THE top panet ot the picture betow shows shots ot the Homestead game and an intormat pose ot Mr. Pautie. The center panet shows the team. They are, tett to right: Raymond fjnderictc, quarterback, who pitted his three years experience at this post against this yearis opponents. Ray proved he had abitity by his showing in every game. tn the tVVittcinsburg and Centrat Cathotic contests his btoctaing, tactiting, and strategy stood out brightiy. His name has been added to gridiron history. Next comes Martin Gtadora, center, who no one can deny was the outstanding ptayer ot this year. He hetd the post that tew men ot his weight and size woutd desire. By quiet: thintxing and courage he stopped many touchdown ptays. Because ot his poputarity and stcitt, he was the unanimous choice tor this yearis Captain. For his trophy he possesses the bait used against Vvittainsburg. Joseph Cuttings, right end, possessed a combina- tion ot brains and power and became one ot the most tormidabte ends ot this section. His bioctcing and tactcting were outstanding as he proved in the Vvittcinsburg and Rantcin games. Next is Raymond Quinten, right guard, who had the abitity to betuddte comptetety att opponents as to where a ptay was headed. Any team Swiss- vate ptayed this year witt say that Upeteu was the smartest guard they had encountered. He was a stand-out against Centrat Cathotic. Next in tine is our right tactcte, Vvittiam Kann, who, by his brittiant showing on both the ottensive and defensive, has made himsett one ot the greatest tactctes ever to wear a Swissvate unitorm. He ptayed pertect tootbatt against Homestead and Vvittcinsburg. Ray Forquer, tett hattbacti, was part ot the schoorts tripte threat, and earned the respect ot his opponents because ot his deadty, accurate passing, his speed and running power, and his beautitut tcictc- ing atoitity. He, titce his brother and Marty Gtadora, was outstanding in every game and has become one ot the schootis immortats. Frantx tovino, tett guard, proved adept at his job and gave many excettent exhibitions ot btoctdng and tactcting as wett as running interterence. Atthough very tight, Hpantsu had the ditticutt tasic ot keeping the center ot the tine intact. tn every game he was rantced among the outstanding. Last but tar trom teast, Ratph Forquer, right hatttoactc, was the other hatt ot the schootys tripte threat combination who emptoyed his speed in pass- catching and bait carrying. He coutd pass accuratety, tiictc sptendidty, and his exceitent runs, featuring dodging and speed, have made every game a grid- iron ctassic. The tower panet contains two action shots ot our team and a group ot tive very retiabte seniors, James Httimmyu Byrne, Vvtittiam Bitl', Nichot, Frank Simon, Harotd HBudH Saunders, and tvtichaet MtVtitceH Pchotinstci.

RAY ONDERICKHRIGHT GUARD: Being the -third memloer of the schoolls history-malcing trio, Ray concluded his iinal season of scholastic loaslcethall with some ot the greatest displays ot passing and point-scoring. Nlany times his field goals proved to loe the deciding factor hetween defeat and victory, and by his guidance on the lloor, Swissvale enjoyed many spectacular show- ings.

HE coaching genius of Mr. Downie again showed itself when his squad of Juniors, hot on the trail of another championship, suc- cessfully hurdled all opposition in the Section Six to come once more orrto the Hglory roadf, Throughout the entire sectional campaign the iluniors were iaeyond a douht the most dominant team in the league. Their speed, height, and aloility were great assets, and the offensive and defensive plays and formations were important factors in clinching the trophy. After the regular season the Downie machine engaged in the Xwestern Pennsylvania playoffs. Playing host to Beaver Falls in the first en- counter, they proved that they were one of the more superior teams of the league. Four quarters that featured speed, -expertgloall handling, and excellent shooting wore down the defense of the visitors and lorought ahout 'their defeat. ' Not long afterward the :Blue and Goldu journeyed to the Parnassus court and once again proved their might hy whipping their opponents hy H 24-20 score. The theater for the final, deciding contest was set at the neutral Homestead lioor. The tall, rangy, well-drilled Port Vue quintet lcept the pace all through the game, and when the final whistle lnlew they were the acknowledged cham- pions of the league. The glory that accompanies an achievement of this lcind must, however, he shared hy the f nge Fifty,-two Downie machine. ln no part of the game they let down, and when certain defeat seemed inevitalole they fought even harder. They were forced to taste the hitterness of defeat, hut they toolc it in real sportsmanlilce style. The ten who saw the most action this year were Pete Vlasiclc, Art McKay, Bill Ulrich, Cliff Soderherg, Paul Weschitz, Walt Burlcovich, Bill Farina, .lim Shaffer, Ed Lindgren, and Don lvlorrow.

The Swissvale chapter is limited to twenty memloers. Thus it is small hutgactive. Meetings are held twice a month in charge ot two com- mittees, retreshment and entertainment. Qne meeting is usually devoted to lousiness and the other is a social meeting. Each memloer serves on tooth these committees during the year, and in this way everyone has an opportunity to tatce an active part. Requirements tor memhership are three: one must he a junior or senior, must stand in the upper third ot the class, and pay a two dollar initiation fee. Each memher receives a yearss suloscription Page Fifty-four to the organizationss magazine and the otticial emhlem ot the society. This emhlem is the only high school pin which is recognized on the college campus. At the first meeting ot the year, Joanne Vvetzel was elected president, Lois Kost, vice- presidentg and Norman Klein, secretary-treasurer. Qne ot the most interesting and intorma- tive meetings ot the year was the tour through the Postfciazette huilding. The huge rolls ot paper used, the linotype machine, the Associated Press room where all the telegraph news comes in trom every part ot the country and from every civilized corner ot the world, were ot the greatest interest to the memloers.
