7050 as , FOREWORD Among my treasures-the big ones and small- There's one I have always held above all, And that one is friendship, both warm and sincere. A pat on the back, a cure for a tear, The hiis in the halls, the quaint notes to and fro Make me feel I am wanted wherever I go. The joy in knowing our team fought hard to wing When you've been absent the, NI-ley, where have you been? The The The And The The The The groups in corners telling the newest in jokes, asking for dates and the girls' answers, Coaxl pulling together when welre down and out when first snow falls, the unihed shout, interest of teachers in the students' plans, oh's of admiration for summer tansg lunching together of different classes, smiles of the girls, the boys' frequent upassesgv The new faces in clubs: French, Spanish, and book, The help from the girls when we're learning to cook, The universal look when reports fall due, Then starting the next six weeks fresh and anew, The advertisers, help in our newspaper and Annual-gosh, they,re the best in the landg Cheery Mr. Walters always near by to aid, The The Our janitor, from our mem'ries he'll 11Ct fade, School Board understandingfsets our holidays, secretary, Bea, dispels sophies' haze- These things are the ones to hold dear to your hearts, For, You seniors, you won't ever again take part. will ind fascination in outside things, But in the halls of W.

It is well to know many people and to seek the company of those who are interested in the active affairs of life. We should widen the circle of friends in which we live and move and in turn give of our life rich payment to those who mean much to us. However, in the ever ex- panding circle of friends we shall choose but few for our most intimate friendship. Shakespeare expressed it well when he said: The friends thou hast andtheiradoptionstried Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steelf' A cheery Good Nlorningv or I-'Iellov on our part to the people we meet may well serve to brighten the day for many whose spirits may be low. -R. A. GETTER -8.- With the coming of the day of graduation, we should face realistically the respon- sibility of moving into the everyday world. There are many who would tell us that this is an unfriendly world, but that is not necessarily so. After- all, what is the world? Isn't it YOU? Yes, YOU! If the world is un- friendly, most likely you are unfriendly. If you find friends, you are probably friendly. This thought should most certainly be the aim and heart of our schools. From the pupils who H11 the halls to the teachers in the rooms, to the administration in its leadership, to the directors in their interests and con- cern, and to the community in its opportunities of serv- ice there should rise the one high theme of a friendly and kindly world. -REV. BRUCE H. BISHOP MISS EDNA M. REITZ, DEAN OF GIRLS Three years ago the class of 1949 entered the high school hopefully, perhaps a little fearfully. Here was a new world. What would it offer? What could they contribute to it? Soon their hopes became higher, their fears, fewer. They found old friends here and new ones waiting. These friendships grew as school went on, they were cemented by participation in activi- ties, by loyalty to school teams, by keen competition for scholas- tic honors. The class of 1949 has now become a part of those thous- ands to whom the Red and Blue and Wilkinsburg High School mean lasting friendships of shared experience and mutual loyalty. May that friendship be always to faculty, alumni, and students a most precious treasure. MR. FLOYD H. CARSON, PRINCIPAL In selecting friendliness as the theme for the 1949 year- book, the staff representing the graduating class has chosen an unusual and appropriate word. The dedicating a book of mem- ories to an ideal such as this is proof that our young people do recognize unfailingly true values, for the friendships of high school days are perhaps the most enduring in life and certainly among its most important. They rarely end with graduation but remain as long as life itself, whenever and wherever classmate meets classmate. There is always work to be done in a high school. The friendly student plus the friendly faculty will create an atmosphere in which the business of learning moves ahead at its best. May the mantle of your vision of friendliness fall upon us all Class of 1949 as you join the ranks of the friendly alumni of W. H. S. L 91 MR. EDWARD F. EGE, GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Guidance aims to provide assistance whenever it is needed and the value of that assistance is determined by the degree of understanding one person has for anotherf, The focus of guidance is the individual, its purpose is to promote the growth of the individual in self direction. Thru the cooperation of the teaching staff the guidane office is open at all times to students and teachers alike for the purpose of helping the students to make the most of their high school days. This would include making the best possible school record in accordance with one,s native ability. Rather than prescribe, we attempt to furnish adequate in- formation and encourage wise decisions on the part of those seeking advice. Our interest continues beyond graduation, this class of 1949 can expect to find us inquiring about their activities and suggesting opportunities of empldyment and additional educa- tion. The high school guidance officetcontinues at your service. ....9... FACULTY I hope that calm counsel and constructive leadership will provide the steadying influence and the time necessary for the coming of new and more practical forms of representative government throughout the world wherein privi- lege will occupy a lesser place and welfare a greaterf, Adult leadership is an essential part of the educational program in any high school. The students at Wilkinsburg High School are especial- ly proud of their fifty faculty members. They appreciate the patience and understanding with which their leaders conduct their classes, the time and effort they put forth as club and class sponsors, and most of all the friendly attitude they show toward the students at all times. In the halls, at student-faculty forums, dances, plays, music festivals and concerts, open house, football and basketball games, and other athletic events there is a friendliness which we hope will continue. Along with the treasured memories of high school and its activities the seniors will always remember with pride the faculty.

September, 1946 is an unforgettable month in the lives of 350 Wilkinsburgers, the graduating class of 'Q49, for this was the beginning of an adventure in our lives. l.Ve entered Senior High School. Partly bewildered, but mostly enchant- ed, we wide-eyed sophies wandered the spacious halls and looked up sympathetically for help to the high and mighty seniors and juniors. It was at this time we decided to make an everlasting impression, afterall, the seniors and juniors did look up to us-we occupied the shelf. We quickly settled down to business and elected Chip', Hafner-presidentg Jean Steiner -vice-president, Nancy O'Leary-secretary, Elizabeth Antisell-treasurer, and Doris Novo- sky-historian. Student Council claimed Mari- lyn Reid, Christine Sheckler, Ralph Cargo, and Gordon Conner as active and prominent mem- bers. Sophies,' for the first time participated in W. P. I. A. L. sports with Paul Smith and Stan Hoover as regulars on the first champion- ship basketball team in a quarter of a century. Plays, clubs, and intramural sports found their support in the sophomore class. We also estab- lished a precedent by being the first sophomore ...Zo-. W 6' nfl..- X fi class to receive the trophy for selling tickets to a school play, NSPRING GREEN,,' a play which had seven sophomores in its supporting cast. The school year rapidly drew to a clcse. Indeed we had fulfilled our fondest dreams and were eagerly looking forward to our junior year. September, 1947 found everyone's thoughts turned to the approaching school year. We returned that fall morning with a song in our hearts and a smile on our lips as we gleefully greeted our friends and teased the sophomores. We were secretly wishing that we were in their shoes once again. The year began as we chose our class officers Q'Chipv l-larner-presidentg Jean Steiner-vice-president, Nancy O,Leary- secretary, Shirley Wilson-treasurer, and Chris- tine Sheckler-historian. In the ranks of Stu- dent Council were Nelson Baylor, Chip Har- ner, Barbara Purifoy, Mary Lou Keep, and the veteran juniors of the previous year. They had their premiere showing at the junior Tea- the Hrst social event of the year. Because we were the backbone of the school, we naturally participated in sports with Mickey McDonough, Bill Grim, Paul Smith, and Stan Hoover taking the spotlight. We won nine of a possible eleven victories in football and victoriously claimed the Section 8 title again in basketball. The fall play, A DATE WITH JUDY, had a supporting cast of nine juniors While Doris Novosky, a junior, took the lead. SHOWBOAT, our Junior Prom, was a huge success with dreamy- eyed juniors, swaying to the melodious tones of Don Sherill,s Qrchestra. As we Watched the seniors receiving their diplomas, there were many tears and many heart throbs as the memories of the previous years in W. H. S. flashed through our minds. We would be re- turning next year to assume the responsibility and position as the seniors. As we ascended the steps of W. H. S. that September morning, 1948, we had an even greater determination to make it the hap- piest and most successful of our high school years. We had a very successful football sea- son, losing only one of our games. Class elec- tions were without a doubt the most enthusias- tic we had ever witnessed in W. H. S. This year we chose David Barkley-president, Ada Mary Duerlein -vice-president, N a n c y O'Leary- secretary, David McLaughlin-treasurer, and Mary Lou Keep-historian. Student Council chose Nelson Baylor as President of the Stu- dent Body. Many of us became leaders in sports and clubs, plays and dances, and other activi- ties. Noon activities, movies, and dances were revived by the seniors. The mingled voices of the A Cappella choir, Bible readings, and chapel programs constituted the senior partici- pation in chapel. In our class we have a na- tional intermediate roller skating champion, Ada Mary Duerlein. The members of the grad- uating class of 1949 are eagerly anticipating Class Day, Senior Play, and the Senior Prom with Baron Elliotls Orchestra. Commencement Night, June 1, we will be graduated, no longer will we be a sheltered group in a high school, but we will carry with us those memorable moments spent in Wilwinsburg High School, our Alma Mater, and the friendships we have made.

SENIOR LEADERS To be busy is the secret of grace, and half the secret of content. Let us ask the gods not for possessions, but for things to do. -WILL DURANT This might he the motto of these eleven deserving and ambitious seniors who have shown themselves to be real leaders. Because they have willingly given much more of their time, interest, and enjoyment than was required for the benefit of others, they have been selected by popular vote to represent you, the senior class, and your activities.

We found ourselves pioneers in this field, because a sophomore dance had not been held since the war. April 16, 1948 found a num- ber of delighted sophies, juniors, and seniors dancing to the music of Richard Elliott and his orchestra. Not only had we pioneered, but we found ourselves on the good end of the finan- cial problem, since so many tickets were sold that we met all expenses with some money to give to the Activity Fund. Fall elections found that our class officers would now be Tony Traficante, president, Bob Swisshelm, vice-president, Patty Peachee, sec- retary, Ruth Dougherty, treasurer, and Lois Downes, historian. Four more juniors were chosen to represent us on the Student Council: La Verne Cannon, Dolores Miller, Lawrence Smith, and Alan Sleppy. The first job for our elected leaders came with the junior tea, at which they were en- trusted to see that friends' mothers did not meet algebra, English, and language teachers. They were kept busy introducing mothers to so-me teachers and steering them away from others. Soon we found our football season had come to an end, and the many juniors on the team really had something of which to be proud. We had come through the season with nine wins and only one loss. Juniors on the second and third teams also got a chance to play and reinforce the first team. In November, 1948, W. I-1. S. was invaded! We will always remember the evaluating com- mittee which came to visit and see what we knew about Greek and Roman gods, dissecting grasshoppers, and the Civil War, how to mix twenty-five and thirty-cent candy to sell for twenty-seven cents, how to keep from suffocat- ing while finding the specific weight of gaso- line, why shorthand takes so long to learn, and how to count in French. It definitely was a dif- ferent three days. Everyone had his home- work done, we walked quietly through the halls and even applauded the attempts at humor in chapel. At Christmas time juniors could have felt rather ubackboneishn because of their valuable contribution toward the Christmas concert. Again our singers had provided delightful mu- sic, our musicians supplied a musical back- ground, and the salesmen had sold tickets to make a large audience. By now we had realized that the Class of 1950 had great possibilities in the basketball field. Although the team did not come out on top this year, it was easy to see that the skill of Harry McElroy, Don Krapf, and Don Fabel would help greatly toward a championship team in 1950. One member of our class, Robert Kitt, gained recognition and experience from his brilliant piano and organ playing at Chapels, concerts, and programs. Not to be outdone by their predecessors, the junior class set to work to present a dance built around some other mode of transporta- tion. We finally decided to use the theme of a train, called the Mid Century Limited with a special car for juniors, called Club 50? The Limited arrived at Wilkinsburg on February 4, 1949, featuring Bill Leroy and his orchestra. Of course it was easy to see that we had produced another successful Junior Prom, in fact, we had the largest attendance for a school dance, aside from a Senior Prom, ever held in W. H. SJ! The record-breaking at- tendance was 178 couples. With the production of The Man Who Came to Dinnerf, juniors developed their act- ing technique and did their bit to help put on a successful play. All in all, this was a most successful year, and we are looking forward to another one in 1950, because if we haven't yet proved that we are absolutely the best class, we intend to establish that fact in 1950!

Cotton .WVK SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY - 1948-1949 In 1948, four hundred and sixty-nine stu- dents entered Wilkinsburg High School, thrilled by the knowledge that the goal of the past nine years had finally been attained. We were adults -mature men and women, in short, we were sophomores. The feeling of elation lasted ap- proximately a week. We began to discover that while a usophiev might be the idol of the grade school, he was adoormat of the juniors and the bane of the seniors. But on the whole we were enjoying school. Our first event was the election of school oH:icets in which we were proud to participate. We were honored to have Nancy Jones, Jim McGough, Joanne Hart, and George Corrigan chosen to represent our class on Student Coun- cil. The following were elected as our class ogicers in their respective order: Jarvis Cotton, Janis Kregar, Sally Antlsell, Alice Anderson, and Eleanor Waszo. The functionings of the sophomore class would not have been successful without the able guidance and assistance of our class sponsors, Miss Turk, Miss Mothersbaugh, Miss Goff, Miss Dorothy Covil, Mr. Rodgers, Mt. Weigand, and Mr. Chute. We became engrossed in the school ath- letics and our studies fof coursej. Yes all too soon we had become high and mighty sopho- mores lost in the junior and senior rooms. Quickly the months passed in which we ac- quainted ourselves with the various school ac- tivities. Many of our usophiesv contributed their talent. We are proud of our Robert Johns, who made the varsity basketball team. Three of our sophomore girls, Bonnie Zitsman, Carole Korhnak, and Eleanor Waszo took all honors of the Wilkinsburg Girls Swimming Meet. Our sophomores participated in almost all school activities. We knew that our football team would benefit by the football talent of John Creigh, Richard Simmons, Larry Salkeld, and Tom Gilmer who were chosen for first team. Our class has been an enthusiastic one. We shall continue to support the school by adding our Ualll' to activities. The sophomore tea held October 28, 1948 was the first important sophomore affair. Here, our parents became acquainted with the teach- ers. We were proud to boast of the many mothers that had attended. Second the skating party, sponsored by our class on March 4, was very successful because of the support of the junior and senior students as well as the sopho- mores. Chapel is the school highlight. It was new, but we began looking forward to it. The program presented by sophomore talent was received with esteem by the student body. The third event and most important to all of us was our sophomore party. It was a lovely affair. There was much preparation, but the result was c-ne that we shall treasure. The decorations, orchestral music, and fun was the topic of con- versation for some time. June came. The seniors, watched by us en- vious usophiesf' graduated. Well, weire getting there! We concluded our sophomore year with fond recollections of the good times we had and the knowledge we have acquired. Next year, as the ubackbonesl' of the school, we hope to continue our work, and set even a higher goal. ELEANOR WASZO Historian I Ushering them in-- . . .

One must await them on the threshold, ready to bid them enter at the moment of passing, and they pass every day The Activity Board, which was organized in 1914, is the oldest organization in the school. fr-1 :JN-I x-X .4-'Y .CW e E ,ss -. f It consists of five students elected by popular vote and five faculty members appointed by the principal. This industrious group fosters each year some project beneficial to the school and student body. Last spring it bought for the Annual a Speedgraphic camera with all the attachments which fulfill a photographer's dream. It has made the taking of pictures this year a pleasure and the staff thinks it has pro- duced many good shots. The board elects edi- tors of the Annual and Hi Ways staffs and busi- ness managers for all productions. It controls such financial matters as paying chapel speak- ers, purchasing Christmas decorations, renting movies, buying honor pins, keeping the com- mencement caps and gowns in proper condition, and contributing toward choir and band uni- forms. It upholds the credit of the school by covering deficits which any dance, publication, play, or musical production may incur. As can easily be seen, because of the small size of this group and its many responsibilities, membership in the Activity Board is one of the highest honors the student body can confer upon its representatives.

YETTER STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council, the governing body of o-ur high school, which is composed of one faculty member, twelve seniors, eight juniors, and four sophomores elected by the student body has worked diligently through the school year to promote the best interests of the stu- dents. During the first week of September it sold Student Handbooks to welcome new students to Wilkinsburg High School and to acquaint them with the activities, traditions, rules, and cus- custcms' of high school so that they might become quickly an integral part of the system. Also provided in this year's revised edition was a complete floor plan of the high school to help new students. orient themselves to their new surroundings. The council elects cheerleaders and chooses cne of the senior members to be head cheer- leader. Each year three sophomore boys are elected to serve a term of two years. It was agreed this year to present letters to the cheer- leaders and a tiger head emblem to the tiger. 9,2 fd- v I V- i m..,. . . A. lu.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS x x - It was a special duty of the Stu- dent Council this year to provide a welcoming group to greet the evalu- ation committee and show them to the special rooms provided for them. The council also spent some of its time discussing with members of the Activity Board, Annual and Hi- Ways staffs, and new students who entered Wilkinsburg I-'Iigh School late the points recommended for improvement by the evaluation com- mittee. Noonday activities were of special concern to this body. A special com- mittee from Student Council at- tempted to bring about more student activities at noon time. Movies were made available in chapel, and cn other days there were dances in the gym. On January 28, it sponsored a dance after the Dormont basket- ball game. Student Council maintains the Lost and Found, a very small but very necessary part of Wilkinsburg I-Iigh School. To the senior mem- bers of the Student Council is al- lotted the job of trimming the Christmas Tree, another fun-filled duty. To belong to this body is indeed a pleasure, a responsibility, and an honor. President. , ,.,..,.,. ., .... NELSON BAYLOR Vice President . GORDON CONNER Recording Secretary.

How much time will be needed to type those senior sheets? Have the advertisers been canvassed? Can we have those pen and ink drawings and still stay within the budget? These questions all have a familiar ring to anybody who has toiled in famed 201, the Annual office. September brings homeroom and club pictures, senior pictures, numerous ideas, original panel and page plans, and the choosing of the auxiliary staff. Seniors appointed by the Activity Board constitute the regular staff, and all have particular important assignments. The faculty editor, Nancy Holliday, is busy inter- viewing and collecting innumerable snapshots from the various faculty members. Senior edi- tor, Ann Weals, alphabetizes, checks, and re- checks those activity blanks you seniors filled out about mid-year. Keith Bowers and Russ Fero have been working together on informal pictures depicting the life of school and sport photography projects, which certainly make or breaki' a year book. The typists go off to a room apart from the congeniality of the Annual office and type and re-type by the hour. That is their service to the school for which we say, Thank you, Jean, Dorothy, and Alicef, These are only a few of the many, many tedius tasks that have to be completed before you fellow students finally receive your memory books. You ask about the importance of the auxiliary staff. Of course they are important. The identification of student pictures, not to mention the weary job of checking spelling, would never be completed without them.

What is behind it? Everyone probably has his own views and ideas about it. To the students of W. H. S., it is an enjoyable way of presenting the happenings of our high school. For laughs there are features which give a funny twist to what may seem everyday occurrences. For personalities there is Hoo's Hoof, The sports page tells of the wins and losses of our varsity teams and of future events in the field of sports in W. H. S. In Letters to the Editor the students can express their ideas to the editor. To the reporter it is perhaps a chance to see his name in the masthead. When he is given an assignment, he must accept with it the responsibility of handing his article in before the deadline. He must also think of the stu- dents and write in an interesting manner. He feels proud of this accomplishment when his article is accepted for print. The school paper spells W-O-R-K to the editors. The issue must be planned so that all the news available will be printed. After much preparation the page layouts, which are called udummiesi' are completed to everyone's satis- faction. When assignments are turned in there is rewriting to be done. The articles must be typed and given a head. A few days before the issue comes out the proofs, called galleys, come from the printer. These must be corrected and returned to the printer immediately. The editors reap the reward of their work when the paper is printed and ready to be sold to the student body. The sponsor of Hi Ways is not without his share of work. He must see that things run as smoothly as possible, negotiate with the printer, and see that the printing and engraving bills are paid. Also, he must approve everything that is accepted for the paper. Editor-in-Chief ..,..,...,..,......,. MARY ELLEN McKINNEY Assistant Editor ,.., ..,..,,,...............

Probably at one time or another you have been puzzled about the purposes, method of election, or requirements of the National Honor Society of WHS. Perhaps this explanation will enlighten you. The National Honor Society is an honorary group of students whose service and leadership are as outstanding as their schol- arship. A committee of eight teachers, appoint- ed by the principal and under the chairman- ship of the Dean of Girls, submits to the entire faculty an alphabetical list of eligibles in schol- arship rank. Any member of the faculty who has had any association with a student for a semester may vote on his qualilication for Honor Society. Not more than fifteen percent of the graduating class and five percent of the junior class may be members. They are elected by the faculty on the basis of scholarship fthe thusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. To mind now comes the question of the advantages of the National Honor Society. The high school itself does not stand for scholar- ship alone. It also stands for music, football, clubs, and many other activities. Consequently, they should be included in the recognition of the student who most nearly represents the ideals of the school. The good citizens must have ideals of service, have character, be able to assume and discharge responsibility, and lead and follow his fellows in work for the betterment of his community. If the school is to malce this good', citizen, it must educate the student morally and socially as well as in- tellectually. s classj, service, leadership, and character.

As the band softly plays uFor You I-lighf' the 'Burg fans rise and sing. Perhaps they are flat or perhaps sharpg but to many spectators the football game atmosphere of Nfighrn and loyalty is the real spirit of school patriotism. This year,s band has made history! For the first time since the founding of the school the bandsmcn were presented with emblems. This was made possible by a S50 prize as the best marching band at the Swissvale 50th Anniversary contest. The following committee was elected to work out regulations concern- ing the recently acquired emblems: Bill Campbell Bob Swisshelm Tommy Roose Justin Johnson George Lehr Harry Hellings Not only does the band function at football games, but it plays on chapel programs, notably the program of Christmas l48, and provides a lively note or two at pep meetings. It rehearses three periods a week and during football season slogs up and down Graham Field in muddy Wednesday night drills. These drills are the work of Mr. Elwood N. Scott, who in co-operation with five other directors has wr-i-tten a 'book on band drill and formations of Wes.- ern Pennsylvania district high schools.

I hold the world but as the world, A stage, where every man must play a part. STAGE CREW The Stage Crew is responsible for the preparation of the stage for school events, the most common of which is chapel. It is surprising how many details must be prepared during second period. The umikesl' must be set up and the Bible and gavel put out. The lowering and raising of the screen is another task of the Stage Crew. When there are movies the movie screen must also be lowered as Well as sound equipment set up. When there are special programs, such as a music festival, the back drops must be arranged to make room for the performers. The Stage Crew puts up the scenery ,for plays of both the senior and the junior high schools. With the aid of the shop boys, the scenery is painted and repaired, it is then put up in time for the dress rehearsals and taken down immediately after the play. During the play the crew is in charge of lights and curtains. The Stage Crew is a voluntary organiza- tion open to any boy in the school who can maintain a C average. Each boy is assigned to one dayls chapel preparation. The manager is picked from the senior members. Although their work seems trivial, no production or pro- gram of any kind would be a success without the aid of the Stage Crew. MANAGER . . . GEORGE HILL Zin Jilllzmnriam MISS SARA JEANETTE PARSON The auditorium was the classroom, the workship of Miss Parson, teacher and coach of plays. It was here that most of her work, her interest, and her service centered. It was here that she gave to seniors confidence as they read the Bible in morning worship, introduced speakers, or made announcements to the student body. It was here that she lived the lines she liked so well- But chief of all thy wondrous works Supreme in all thy plan Thou hast put an upward look Into the heart of man. f-'Harry Kemp Getting the scenery ready for a publicity program . . .

Few people think of the Usher Squad as an important part of school activities. Every day the members faithfully open chapel doors and seat visitors before the program begins. Election day enlists the aid of the ushers and the Student 'Council to handle ballots and bal- lot boxes. School productions, such as the school play, the senior class play, the music festivals, Christmas and Easter programs, and the annual visit of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra are supervised by the Usher Squad wearing the blue and red military style jackets, their badge of office. The real test of their patience and effi- ciency is at the commencement exercises on Graham Field when they must find seats for the crowds, keep away everything-children, dogs, stragglers-that would detract from the effectiveness of the program. Dignity and courtesy are practiced and these qualities make a success of the many school programs. All in all the ushers are a vital link in the chain of activities of Wilkins- burg High School.

M ISS ELIZABETH STEELE HOMEROOM MANAGERS There is nothing so decisive as the persuaa sive quality of a friend. Tickets, tickets! You there in the green blouse, how would you like to buy a ticket to the senior play next Friday night? Don't you want to see how sophisticated Gordon Conner can be? Don't miss it. No sale, Huh? Support your football team by buying a season ticket for only 51.60. And your basketball team needs encouragement too. Buy your ticket and go out to cheer for your players. The music festival is worth much more than the price of admission. Here is your ticket for fifty cents, or better two for one dollar. You want to take your father and mother too? All right, here are four for two dollars. Well, how about giving a Clcnation to the Red Cross Fund? Small or large, every bit helps! Donit you want to have a part in the Community Fund? This brief exhortation may sound like one given by an insistent door-to-door salesman, but in reality it is merely a struggling, fast-talking homeroom manager trying in earnest to make a sale. Too many people take these energetic homeroom representatives for granted and clon't appreciate the fact that if it hacln't been for the manager, they never would have received their Hi-Ways, made payment on their Annuals, or bought a ticket to the Spring Festival. They are elected by popular vote in the homeroom and from that day on they are faced with the trials and tribulations that accompany super sales- manship. Yes, the homeroom managers play an important part in every day school life. FIRST ROW: D. Coleman, G. Russo. L. Collins, P. Collins, C. Sheckler, M. Oartel, C. Wildman. ' SECOND ROVV: J. Jones, J.

She is chosen by the Girls' Council and 'Senior Counselors in theisforing to serve the following year. New girls, who enter Wilkinsburg High School in September, soon learn about Senior Counselors. Each new girl is welcomed by an upper class girl who acts as guide and big sister . helping her to learn about high school quickly tives from all girls' hygiene and home making classes. It acts as a clearing house for girls' problems to be presented to Student Council or to the administration. It makes the care of theygirls' rest rooms its special problem. It also 'brings messages of cheer to sick girls and ' acts as messengers for them. Sheckler, B. White, J. Coe, S. Hanna. FOURTH ROW: Beatty S. Chrise, S. Wilson, A. Wilson, M. Balch, B. L. With Senior Counselors, Girls' Council this year has carried on three philanthropic projects. They wove a Junior Red Cross Af- ghan, they made Christmas possible for a worthy family, they collected and packed a box of clothing to send to Miss Wilson, our ex- change teacher in Wales. They also joined others girls' organizations to promote a dance after the basketball game with Swissvale. Girls' Council promotes school activities with its loyalty. and intelligently. Counselors use the creed and code of the Wilkinsburg I-Iigh School girls to direct the new girl to healthful participation in school life and activities. They use the Student Handbook to acquaint the newcomer with the opportuni- ties open to her in clubs, extra-curricular activi- ties, and outlets for individual interests. In addition to big sister activities, the Senior Counselors join Girls' Council, Y-Teens, and Leaders' Club in various philanthropic and community projects. 559,-E :Umm stag 'FEW wmv ' MUSC -gov-n Z':'2 002 ' m .. :Q-. 5530: 352' c .

SPANISH CLUB El Circulo Espanol offers an opportunity for students to further their understanding of the Spanish language and Customs. A Spanish atmosphere pervades all meetings 'by colorful decorations, programs, skits, and songs. The first and most important meeting of the year was the well-attended Christmas re- unionf' The performers sang the beautiful Mexican posadas on a dimly lighted stage. These posadas, signifying the Biblical narrative of Joseph and Mary in their search for lodging on the night of the birth of Jesus, are sung on nine consecutive nights before Christmas. This was a beautiful candle-light procession. Then followed Spanish music and several comi- cal skits, such as a newly-wedded couple quar- reling after the honeymoon, a professor teach- ing a boy how to overcome stuttering, and a romance by the light of the moon in a real Spanish fashion. The meeting was closed with the breaking of the pinata, which was a gaily decorated paper mache basket filled with taffy. This gathering was held in honor of senorita I-lugette Roux, our new student from Santiago, Chile. Ar the next meeting the students enjoyed colored scenes of Chile shown by Senora Hoen- heisen who spoke in Spanish. The chapel program was a fiesta. The stage was transformed into a Spanish patio: a Mexi- can home in the 'background with lattice inter- twined with bougainvillia, palms and pots filled with carnations. Fiesta balls and baskets of bril- liantly colored Howers hung from the ceiling. There was music and the jarabe iapatio dance. l-'low proud the club was of its performance. After completing one year of Spanish, a student is eligible for membership in the Span- ish Club, which helps him to understand the language and to develop lasting friendships.

The September meet- ing in the girls' gym, a party with relay races, folk dancing, and refreshments, was a grand opener for an eventful year. On display in October were Mexican articles brought by our speaker, Mrs. Manne, when she told us about her trip 'lsouth of the borderf' Since an at- tractive appearance is the desire of every girl, Miss Tootill, a Beauty Counselor, gave tips on make-up at the January meeting, and Gimbels' provided lovely gowns for our members to model at our fashion shows in Cctober and April. The custom of tea-dances, out of exist- ffl J ' f ffl,-'J .5 . .H ir L ,- W ' ' 9 as vi EJISNIOR-SENIOR Y-TEENS ence for several years, was revived when the Hi Ways members and the Y-Teens spon- sored the very successful 'QPay Dirti' in the boys, gymnasium in October. Once a month the words, strike Or Msparen echoed through the bowling alleys when the athletes of the group met. Ready for servicev is part of the Y-Teen code, so during the year the Y-Teens tried to help others. In November the social service group collected the money for the Red Feather Community Chest drive. By caroling through their halls the Y-Teens tried to make Christ- mas, the merriest time of the year, merrier for the people at the Home for Protestants and the United Presbyterian Home. They also brought old clothing and packed a couple of boxes for families in England. All these things--meetings, projects, dances, and the annual spring banquet at the Y -made this a wonderful year for the Junior- Senior Y-Teens of W. H. S. SOPHCMORE Y-TEENS True friendship is a plan of slow growth. The Sophomore Y-Teens had a very suc- cessful year, making many new friends along the way. They got acquainted at their first party in October, and in November packed a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family. In December Santa Claus himself was present at their Christmas party. During February they made more new friends and earned money by selling candy and baked goods two days each week for two weeks during the dinner hour at the Y. W. C. A. for their World Fellowship project. They learned how people less for- tunate than they could live and learn on their visit to the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. In February the representative of the Beauty Counselor beauty products demon- strated her products by showing the girls how to use make-up properly. April brought the Spring Fashion Show, and the Sophomore Y- Teens joined with their big sisters in it. This very successful year was closed with the tra- ditional banquet at the Y. W. C.

For students busy with constant practice in typing and shorthand, weary from problems of debits and credits, fatigued by the many sales and commercial geography projects, the Com- mercial Club is the escape. The club is always on the lookout for tal- ent-especially new talent that has yet to appear on che auditorium stage. Seniors and juniors of tomorrow with business subjects, look us up next fall. You're welcome whether you want to entertain or be entertained. A place on one of the many committees may be yours. Our club has an illustrious past and Hne champion typist, Cortez Peters, executed an interesting chapel program. I-Ie typed from 40 to 170 words per minute with and without mu- sic, and recited a poem while typing copy at top speed. At one meeting We saw a film show- ing the history of shorthand and a demonstra- tion of machine shorthand.

Far from forgotten is chemistry class where more than one neophyte has accidentally dropped HQSO4 on a perfectly good pair of stockings.

There under the watchful eyes of Wild Billi' Lohr and Jason Snyder, the boys slave under a hot sun, From these great coaches the future stars learn how to push their opponents' faces in the dirt without being seeng block, so that their oppo- nent wonit get up very fastg hit the blocking dummies, the stuffed ones and not the fourth teamg and pound feet with the greatest of ease. After two weeks of grilling practice the team is ready for competition. Then for ten weeks more they practice hard after school and sit on the bench Friday night hoping they too may get into the game. Finis the football season. Following the battle on Graham Field, the basketeers start shooting away at the banking boards in the boys, gym. The first few weeks are spent cutting the juniors and sophomores who don't make the grade and weeding out the few seniors who are not showing much promise. Practice and pound feet, practice and pound feet-that's all the boys do between their Tuesday and Friday night games. Mr. 'iStan Berkman and Mr. Jayson Snyder point out the errors and show the team the finesse of shooting a long shot, making a foul, and guarding an exceptional opponent. Jay also has his mad moments with the 'Q-lay V's. They are even named after him! These are the under classmen who will probably m A: year's first t 'ng.

FOOTBALL BURG TAKES FIRST A small Pitcairn team got off on the wrong foot while the Red and Blue walked off with a smashing 20 to O victory. Thus the Tigers chalked up the first one in the Gwinn column of the 1948 season. SWISSVALE'S ONLY DEFEAT In a short trip to our great rival's home field our gallant team defeated a fighting Swissvale eleven 33 to 13, putting number two on ice. HOLY CITY WINS AGAIN The Tigers, after a long railroad trip, slashed the Lions of Greensburg 20 to O. About 320 students from W. H. S. were thrilled as an overconfident student-body watched their pride and joy fall to the powerful thrust of the Holy City team. BACK AGAIN DEFIANT Taylor Allderdice, returning to Graham Field aifter a few years' rest, crept home with their tails between their legs. This was a shutout for the Holy City while they racked up 33 points. CREEKER'S DROWNED On a rain-soaked Held the W. H. S. Tigers whipped the Turtles' large team 13 to 0 as they con- tinued their unbeaten string and won their first league game. MOUNTIES STOPPED When two undefeated teams meet, the weaker has to go. The crafty Lohrmen notched up number five in a one sided battle against the Lions of Mount Lebanon. Again the Red and Blue showed their un- beatable playing in a game, scoring 13 points to their opp-onent's goose egg. REVENGE FROM SCOTT With our aim to revenge a great 1947 team, the Tigers went out and gave Scott High a shellacking 13 to O. The first-string, composed of nine seniors and two juniors, out-shone the eleven from Sciott in a thrilling game. PENN CLIPPED V Under the lights at Penn High the Burgmen fought, the second team to score against them so far in the season. In a free scoring, thrilling game, W. H. S. chalked up 27 points to the Indians' 19. After starting the ball rolling in the first quarter, the Tigers found it touch and go to keep ahead of the rampaging Indians until the final whistle. TROBERS TUMBLED TO W. H. S. On the opening kick-off, Glamp of Latrobe ran eighty-three yards for a touchdown, their only score for the entire game. After this jolt the Tigers roared. Caught on the short end of the string, the Red and Blue eleven dug in and scored 32 points against their foes. Final score was 32 to 6, W. H. S. winning again. TIGERS TRIPPED Playing before a capacity crowd at War Me- morial Field in lV1cKeesport, the W. H. S. Tigers bowed low to an overpowering team from the Tube City. In the third quarter, with the opponents ahead 13 to 0, Paul Smith tore off the only score for Wil- kinsburg. With his educated toe he made good the conversion. At the end of 48 minutes, the Tube City scored 25 to W. H. S.'s 7. Thus ended a glorious season for the Tigers of Wilkinsburg. Team W.H.S.

A hush descends upon the gym, the shot is made, and all bedlam breaks loose, another point is made for the W. H. S. basketball squad. Although the Tigers have not won so many games as they had hoped to win, they put on a good show. Have you noticed Paul Smith flying through the air trying to intercept an oppo- nent's pass? Mr. JeH:rey, teacher of physics, plans to use Paul as an example of udefying the law of gravity. Q'How does he stay in the air? Among the outstanding personalities on the team are Stan I-Ioover, the vacuum man, Don Krapf, I think he had something to do with cheese, Fabel, who was associated with a gentleman by the name of Aesop and a re- markable sophie, Bob Johns who had a little town named after him-Johnstown, I think it was. All kidding aside, the Red and Blue cagers had a fairly good season. With only two first- string holdovers from last yearis champion team, Paul Smith and Stan Hoover, Mr. Berk- man shaped his team around three seniors, and the rest of the squad was made up of juniors and sophomores. Since the Tigers didn't take the Section VIII crown, the boys are looking forward to next year when they can move again into that number one spot. Snyder Snitzels the nickname of the Junior Varsity, is composed of sophomores and juniors. Beginning at seven oiclock, the J. Vfs slug it out in the preliminaries before the Varsity appears on the floor. Coach Jay says, If the boys come along as I expect, I have hopes for them. At the end of a glorious season the Red and Blue Tigers finished third in the race for the Section VIII crown by winning 8 out of their 12 league games. The night after the last league game, Paul Smith was elected captain of the 1948-49 team by the basketball lettermen. Congratulations, Paul, for the honor you re- ceived and thanks Tigers for a good year. 1948-1949 BASKETBALL SCORES 'Dec. 3 1V1cKeesport ......,,,. 53 44 Dec. 7 Homestead ........., 43 42 Dec. 10 Mt.

P. I. A. L. Championship. The track team exceeded all expectations last spring winning all but one of their meets with different schools. Bud Alcott was the main attraction with his brilliant hurdling. He tied the W. P. I. A. L. high hurdles and set a new mark for the 200-yard low hurdles at 22.4 seconds. Outstanding performances were also turned in by Tommy Stephens, who set another new record in the 180-yard low hurdles of 20.9 seconds and also the mile relay team, composed of Bell, Anderson, Morgan, and Jaffurs. This team placed second in the W. P. I. A. L. meet. Before the boys could get their champion- ship form, they had to practice many gruelling hours. At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Browning has all the boys interested in track running laps around the all too familiar gym. With the hurdlers practicing in the center of the floor, the sprinters dashing around the outside of the floor, and the weight men working out under the gym balcony the eighth period gym class is very busy. When Friday afternoon comes, all contestants are eager to start their time trials. Mr. Browning, with his little stop watch, watches the boys try to beat the time they had last week and also to pick out the lucky boys to wear the white track suits for the Red and Blue. Spring comes at last and they go up on the hill, Graham Field. The vaulters also get a chance to show their form, which they couldn't do inside the gym. After hours and hours of practice the boys start their meets. Besides the regular ones the boys look forward to the big meet at State College. Ac this meet the best, the prospective champions of different schools all over the state get a chance to compete for the high honors. The Holy City was well represented in the state meet. Bud Alcott won the 120-yard high hurdles in 14.9 seconds, he also won the 200- yard low hurdles in 22.2 seconds and placed second in the broad jump. Tom Stephens scored when he placed fourth in the 180-yard low hurdles. This gave Wilkinsburg 16 points more than any other school in Pennsylvania. Besides all these honors brought to Wilkins- burg, Bud Alcott was named second on Look Magazine's All-Star Track Team for 1948 in running the 200-yard low hurdles. The school and the students are very proud, I am sure, of our record-breaking track team. 5 ffl cf X 1 C X f BACK ROW: D. Brown, R. Watt, J. Davis. FRONT ROW: J. Furniss, N. Baylor, B. Hartmann, J.

Football season brought many memorable pep meet- ingsg Turtle Creek, Penn, Scott, and all our previous rivals fell before the big guns of a mighty football squad. Bob Hartmann headed the cheerleading squad. He and Baylor were the two-year veteran seniors, while Shultz and Furniss were newcomers, aided by our worthy Tiger, Bettis. Next come our juniors, Ron Watt, Jack Davis, and David Brown. The McKeesport game dampened the spirits of many loyal rooters, but we truly had a team of which we could be proud. Basketball season came with heartbreaking losses in preliminary games, and yet the mighty Tiger cagers came back to win a high percentage of their league games, partly the result of enthusiastic cheer- leaders. The old worn out pants were replaced by new ones, but few noticed the improvement as they were the same color pattern of the old ones. New equip- ment for the cheerleaders will soon be forthcoming. By next year each one will have a jacket upon which a chenile tiger head will be sewn. This new addition will help to make the cheerleaders' dress more uniform. The Student Council has been work- ing diligently to help the cheerleaders improve their performance. Sponsor .........,,... ..,.,.. ..., S T UDENT COUNCIL Sky rocketing at Graham Field . . .

A , vu., J 1- VARSITY CLUB s H ' To be a member of the Varsity Club is probably the ambition of every athlete in W. H. S. For this honor he is willing to start football practice on hot August days, forego pie, cake, and candy for months, give up par- ties, dances, and all other social events that would interfere with his eight hours of sleep, do uninteresting exercises for hours to keep his body in shape, and practice on the field night after night in order to play on his team be it football, basketball, baseball, track, or golf and win the letter awarded his varsity sport and the sweater, the prize for the first letter earned. But this is not all. He must for- get himself and learn to get along with his teammates, subordinate his own interests to theirs, play the game fairly with all that he has whether the team wins or loses, always bear in mind the honor of W. H. S. is at stake. Besides he must attain a scholastic standard- in some sports a college entrance one. This club performs a distinct service to the school by providing two outstanding chapel programs and an all-school dance. Everyone looks forward to varsity day when boys who have qualified receive their letters. The speaker this year was Capt. Thomas Hamilton, head of health and physical education and director of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh. His topic was t'Contribution to Athleticsf' This -104- was a most interesting talk growing out of his experiences as head of all athletic programs in the Navy from which he retired as Rear Admiral. To advertise the varsity dance, the mem- bers presented in chapel an original skit called Operation, Flying Tigers written by Miss Wischmeyer. This included the ballet dance featuring the members of the football team as tiger orchids or tiger lilies, the crowning of Miss Varsity 1948 fpaul Smithj, and theme songs. The gala event itself brought out 180 couples who danced to the strains of Brad Huntis orchestra amidst very elaborate decora- tions. A high model airplane hovered over the dancers, and in the center of the gym was an airport with runways and planes named for individual football players. In all their activities on the team, in chapel programs, and at the dance the boys have made lasting friendships and learned how to work with people, an accomplishmnet which they will find essential in the labor, business, or professional field.

S. find satis- faction and enjoyment in the participation of our girls intramural sports. Swimming is the leading athletic program. They swam in the junior high pool and summed the season up with a final racing meet. The win- ners of the races were given points which were added to their intramural credit record. The win- ners of Free Style were Bonnie Zitzman first, Carol Kornak-secondg Back Stroke: Bonnie Zitz- man-first, Eleanor Waszo-second. Carol Kor- mak took first place in Breast Stroke and Side -106- Stroke and Bonnie Zitzman followed in second place. The basketball tournament swung into action with seventeen teams competing for the cham- pionship. l'Tigerettes vs U. B. Gfsi' was the game deciding the teamwto hold the tournament title. At the half the score was a tie, ten to teng the second half saw close guarding and tricky passing which paid off with the U. B. Gfs holding a score of twenty-three points over the Tigerettes nineteen points. This gave the championship crown to the U. B. G.'s. FIRST ROW: M. L. Keep, J. Morton, M. Koch, A. McFeaters, I.

LEADERS' CLUB Yea teaml Rah! are familiar shouts ringing from the girls' gym particularly on Tuesday after- noons. You guessed it, the Leaders' Club girls are practicing and playing the sport of the season whether it be basketball, volleyball, hand ball, or tumbling. A girl must show an active interest in sports and a willingness to learn and practice various sport techniques. She must have the necessary number of points earned in intramural games and have the approval of Miss Reitz, Mrs. Sommerfeld, and the Leaders' Club Board of Governors, consisting of the present permanent officers of the club besides the elected office holders, such as basketball or swimming man- ager. After the girl in question has been ap- proved, she is a member of the club and will remain so provided she maintains the require- ments. At least fifteen points must be earned a semester. To the girls just entering the club as well as those full time members, initiation day is long anticipated. The girls' gym is converted from a comparatively peaceful basketball court into an exciting, surprised-filled obstacle course crowded with squirming, giggly teen-agers. For the blind- folded one, there are the moments when the imagination works overtime trying to perceive just what will happen next. To promote intramural sports, foster good sportsmanship, and develop a sense of leadership are the aims of the club. Each year, as many activity clubs do, Leaders' Club sponsors a chapel program and provides excellent entertainment for Open I-louse, including a stage performance and an exhibition basketball game afterwards. At least two club picnics are held at Frick Park every year, offering the usual wieners, potato chips, pop, cookies, and dixie cups. This year the girls helped sponsor a dance in the girls' gym after the Wilkinsburg-Swissvale basketball game-a grand success. You ask about the dues. Fifty cents a sem- ester is paid by each girl, which is less than five cents a meeting. Yes, it is an honor to belong to the Leaders' Club.
