DEDICATION A genteel man, his hair whitened by almost forty years as an educator, Dr. R. A. Getter will be leav- ing his position this year. This familiar friend of all Wilkinsburg High School students began his teaching career at Pymatuning Township as prin- cipal of the high school. Three years later he moved to Stoneborough where he was supervising principal of Sroneborough Public Schools. From there he went to Clairron as the principal of Clair- ton High School. After these eight busy years he came to W. H. S., where he taught mathematics and German until he became vice-principal, in which capacity he served our school until the re- tirement of Dr. William C. Graham in 1941. This well loved educator then stepped into the position of superintendent of the Vfilkinsburg School Sys- tem. In 1947 he received from his Alma Mater, Thiel College, an honorary Pd.D. degree. In his 31 years here he has touched the lives of thousands of students, who have found in practice an ex- ample of fairness, punctuality, honesty, and kind- ness. His high ideals and his friendly manner mark him a friend of young people. it is to this friend the staff of the 1950 Annual wishes to dedicate its memory book. As a gesture of good will and a wish for many useful years we give this Annual to Dr. R. A. Getter, Superintend- ent of the Wilkinsburg School System.

FOREWORD Hi, Mary Lou, how do you like W.H.S.? I think it is just grand, Pete. I really like it, but how does everyone find time to belong to all of the fine clubs and activities that are available. I couldn't tell you, but I guess everyone belongs to those in which he is interested. This was a conversation between Mary Lou and Pete Wilkins, two average Wilkins- burg High School students. Maybe if all of us could have come here from another high school we would appreciate the things that Mary Lou was appreciating on her first day at our school. Some of the things that we take for granted are the most worthwhile things we have. Chapel, for instance, is one way of hearing the ten verses of Scripture in a lovely setting of organ music and singing. Our noon movies, too, are certainly a welcome innova- tion. Our classes with movies, records, and carefully chosen text books are a credit to our town and our community. W. H. S. can be proud of its excellent teaching staff and also of the carefully planned extra-curricular ac- tiviries. Mary Lou and Pete may be friends or just speaking acquaintances of yours, but either way you know them. They are the ones who take a real interest in the things their school provides for them, such as clubs, dances, movies, and classroom activities. They also cooperate on committees and projects. We hope that you like them as much as the staff of this ANNUAL does, because we have selected them to guide you through this pictorial memory book of 1950.
