MR. ROWLAND LEWIS YOU KEEP COMING BACK LIKE A SONG Although a casual acceptance of talent prevails in our midst, Mr. Lewis' masterful baton-waving of the musical aggregations is not to be tossed aside nonchalantly. Since he first stormed through the school fortifications three calendars ago, Zelie's answer to Phil Spitolny has done a bang-up, hoe-down iob. Through all the endless practice sessions, Mr. Lewis remains drolly garrulous. Giving a Mel Blancish twist to his laughable mimicies, he relieves the dullness of the endless repetition needed for perfecting a number. If an amateur camera fiend had been slinlring around the portable after one particularly exciting gridiron victory, he would have caught a lollapalooza action shot. With a cig- arette iauntily placed behind one ear, our eminent conductor was splicing a path through a Dixie Land ian ditty with the aid of a hot trumpet, while the more hep members of the band blended in with their eight measures. Adept in the realm of serious music, too, he has met with very satisfying success on this higher plane. For the Christmas program or the Spring Concert, he literally swandives into the directing of the student musicians, with the unfaltering con- viction that all of the back-cracking rehearsals will bring a pleasant after-math, During vacation, lend an ear if you are ever loping past the portable. There is always some aspiring Toscanini inside being tutored by Mr, Lewis who seems to have finally stumbled upon the much-sought-after Fountain of Youth! To be certain he perceives the depths of our genuine appre- ciation for his inexpendable and skillful musical navigation, to Mr. Lewis we fourth-classmen are dedicating our 1950 Zelie-Ann. , J-QAM. L. to R.: Mr, Oesterling, Miss Luntz, Mr, Kirkpatrick, Mr. Stover, Mr. Passavant, Mr. Zehner, Mr. Rodemoyer. We, the class of 1950, express our apprecia- tion to the Zelienople Board of Education for the tasks and duties they have fulfilled during our school years. We realize that the board of educa- tion is a very vital part of our school. Since the school board seems to be so essen- tial for the maintenance of our school, we believe that everyone should be informed concerning their work and activities. As the members of this board are continually laboring for our benefit, it would be difficult to state all the duties they perform. Members of the school board assemble once a month, however, they may be summoned at other times for special meetings. These members consider their main duty to be providing a school for the children. All their work is done with this one aim in mind. lt is the work of the school board, at its many conferences, to discuss the problems concerning finances, curricula, and, of course, taxes. They also are interested in the care of the school build- ing and grounds. Most of us know that our school books and our teachers are selected by these members. Yet, how many of us stop to consider the fact that their selections may have much to contribute to our future? We must not forget, also, that the school board desires to see our school maintain a high standing among Penn- sylvania schools. ln order to keep this high stand- ing, they must work in accord with the school laws and with the Pennsylvania State Board of Education. In view of all this important work carried out by the school board, we again extend our thanks to each member. r,-..-,W . ..-T-......,,.-. . , e O50 Ar c9!26lf6!8l 5ALy9 . MR. WILIAM RODEMOYER Our conductor, Mr. Rodemoyer, takes the stand, and with the help of his able assistant, Miss Luntz, conducts us through the School Year Symphony. A great part of this symphony is composed by P. R. Clouse, for he is the man behind the man with the baton. We, the student body, make up the orchestra, and from these three people we seek the help and guid- ance so necessary for our success. This has been a year of changes and the introduction of the Zelienople Student Council has meant more work for the Big Three, but they came through with flying colors. As time goes on, we hope that the Student Council will lighten their burden. The office is the place where we take our troubles and problems. We can be sure that our adversities are as important to Mr. Rodemoyer as they are to us. Then when our conductor isn't accessible, we can always rely on Miss Luntz for assist- ance. Even our trips to the Inner Sanc- tum can be profitable, if we take Mr. Clouse's advice and stop playing hooky. In giving credit where credit is due, we ask these three wonderful people to take a bow. MR. RONALD CLOUSE ,tl Y 0' 'Nw 8, L.. MISS ESTH ER LUNTZ uerglflring .epen 4 A. D. ANDERSON B.

Yet, the most importantgpcrt of our education is the social training we receive. shim Day by day as we attend our classes, we learn the ar N co-operation. We establish 'Friendships with our classmates when we work s oulder to shoulder as partners. . We learn of the shortcomings and disappointments of life, as wellqas the ioys and blessings. We are taught to contribute, as well as to receive. We are given a taste of failure as well as success. These essentials and powers are a part of our learning in the classes of today. May we apply our acquired abilities toward building a better world, and . d . in so omg, may we seek and find happiness and success.

OW jd We come to the end of another year and the seniors start thinking about graduating. What a dismal thought! We've had so much fun yell- ing at the games, going to dances, doing our homework lHey! how did that get in here?,, ony- way, it's been our whole life since we came to first grade about 1937. In twelve years one can get pretty attached to something. What would we do without that typical day in school? It's now five minutes to 9:00-the door of 200 opens and in flies Sam Kustugic. It seems that he was detained by a little matter of examining his traps-Just in time for the first per- iod to begin.

ZA Olflflf' verge of calling the whole thing off. Senior Eng- lish is an inspiring way to start the day, especially with such comedians as Chuck and Dan. Then, in physics class, the girls have the pleasure of go- ing down stairs to replace a burned out fuse, only to find that while they were gone, the boys un- screwed the bulb. If you want to learn anything about life, you should visit that seventh period sociology class. You should have seen the class participation when we studied about dating and courtship. The seniors are authorities on that matter. See what I mean when I say we'll miss this sort of thing? Well, you have to get out on your own sometime, and this senior class should be a success in everything they do. JAMES ALLMANN I know a little bit about a lot of things.

Once again I have returned to my home town of Zelienople. Much has been changed in the last 10 years. I see new crowds of classmates gathered, all with unfamiliar faces. As I step into Fishburn's, I overhear some apparent seniors discussing graduation, and old mem- ories are once again restored. I begin to wonder what has happened to my old classmates-to Chuck, Mike, Norm, Bee, Shirley, Nancy, and then John, who always claimed he was going to be a hermit??? Once you've left the Alma Mater, it's difficult to keep track of them. Only a month ago I ran into Janet Davis in Pittsburgh, of course she's Mrs. Rogan now, with a fine family. She claims the children have Squeak's looks and her brains, but I per- sonally think they'd do well either way. She's living in the huge metropolis of Frisco, and she also told me she had iust seen her old crony, Shirley Hickey, with her sister-in-law, Bee Beyerl. Shirley is married, too, and Janet said she hardly recog- nized her, as she actually cut her crowning glory. Of course she's probably as cute as ever, but we've always remembered her beautiful long wavy hair. As I am about to leave Fishburn's, I at last see a person whom l should know approaching the door, and I am over- whelmed with ioy, for it's none other than Nancy Hirsch. She's iust the person l've been looking for, as the purpose of my return was to get the low-down on the class of '50, and Nancy used to always be bubbling over with gossip. After a lengthy exchange of greetings, Nan declares she's worn out. She just finished another day of teaching and claims that among her students are some familiar faces. One little boy attired in a iersey with SLIPPERY ROCK COLLEGE-1975 written on it looks like an off-spring of the Wehr family and, too, there's a little girl who's always spinning a baton, who claims that her old mon was a sailor. Nan says she can't quite place her, but she does show a remarkable resemblance to one of her old buddies. Nan also tells me that she had re- cently seen Lo Ann, but Lo hodn't time to talk, as Lewie was waiting at home with the kids, and that Norm Frederick had met with a serious hunting accident in the fall. She couldn't exactly remember what happened, but Norm must have drop- ped his gun, and his dog, deciding to reverse the situation, stepped on the trigger. The only others she knows anything about are: Mike, who coached on undefeated football team at Evans City Qwith the exception of the Zelienople gamel, Chuck and Flo, who are living on Division Street, raising a bas- ketball team. The team's well on its way, they iust need a few cheerleaders!! Janice, who has married Dave and lives in Mars, but still roots for Zelie. Rose Demeretz has replaced Miss Luntz, Janet Thomas is the town's librarian, Frances Pflug is in the Department of Agriculture in D. C., and Dan Powell can be seen any night at 7 o'clock on television. Leaving Fishburn's we see a huge black Cadillac pull into Harper's Service Station which is now managed by Ernie Moes- er. Behind the wheel is-of all people--Blackie Beaumont Such. Asked how he came upon his fortune, Blackie replies, With my looks and personality, why ask questions? We spend another fifteen minutes chatting about old times only to find that Bill Veith, who is now a zoology professor at Gen- eva College, had recently married one of his students. Talk is that she is more than a freshman and even has a daughterll Blackie takes us to his famous night club, the Black Spot , and shows us around. He complains that his headwaiter, Bill Phillis, is always late, but he doesn't have the heart to fire him. The orchestra is iust rehearsing for the evening perform- ance-The orchestra leader does look familiar, and can he beat those drumsll Jack Larson did play drums in the school band, but that's iust a coincidence-or is it? Wait-that is Jack, and the girl singing is Eleanor Mae. Realizing that the time has come when all must part, I say goodbye to my old classmates, and depart. I consider my mission accomplished, as I did find what's become of part of the class of '50, and I am well assured that the remainder is doing equally well. SEA... A PARODY OF SEA FEVER I must go down to the school again, to the school and the silly books, And all I get is a study hall, and a teacher with dirty looks. When the bell rings, and the class commences, and my head starts aching. There's a dull look on my sad face, as my brain begins shaking. I must go clown to the school again, to the school and my history class, wilcl call and a clear call, that says, You'll never pass. all I ask is a six-weeks' test, with the an- swer sheet near lying, A-s that come out and round about, with- out my even trying. I must go down to the school again, where knowledge is at its height, Where the pencils scratch and the pens swish, and my answers are never right. Now all I ask is a holiday, when the toil of class shall cease, And any one who disagrees may forever hold his peace. To a And And -Janet Davis PARODY TO JlNGLE BEI.LS Dashing off we go ln a smoking model-A. Oe'r the roads we flow, Laughing all the way. Horns and sirens blow, Meaning us to stop, What fun it is to speed and know That Janet's dad's the cop. Oh! OFF we go, oFf we go, Laughing all the way, What fun it is to try to ride In Bee's old Model-A. A day or two ago We thought we'd take a ride, And soon Miss Beatrice Beyerl Was seated by our side. The car was binged and banged. Misfortune was our motto, And soon Bee cried, 'Well, l'll be hanged! I hit another auto! Oh! Off we go, off we go, Laughing all the way. What fun it is to try to ride In Bee's old model-A. -Shirley Hickey PARODY OF THE BUTTERFLY Lifeless, limbless, football man, You would rather be a fan. Mauled and mangled, torn and beat, Trudging in from one more meet, Waiting for your girl to say, Did a truck hit you today? -Beatrice Beyerl K 20 rw v 'f vwmlxmwlvwlv ....... L gil T0 oun TEAM A Parody of Trees I think that I shall never see, A football team so strong as we. We play each game with vim and vigor. That gang of ours is really eager. There's Dutch and Mike and Chuck and Norm, They take the other team by storm. Just take a glance, then, at our line, There is no doubt, it's really fine. They pave the way for all the plays And leave our rivals in a daze. The teams we play may think they're neat, But when we're done, ,they're really beat. By now we know, withkxt a doubt, Those boys of ours deservetiz shout. -Nancy Hirsch MY LITTLE DOG My little brown dog is covered with fleas, And it seems they will eat him alive. They bite him all up from his head to his knees. On flea powder, they seem to thrive. Time was when my little dog was new, And his coat was passing fair, But since then he's gone through a couple world wars, And there isn't much left of his hair. Sure, I love my little old pup For more than he seems to be. But I guess before they will ever give up, l'll have to kill every darn flea. -Richard Kind PARODY OF TREES I think that I shall never see A sailor quite as neat as he. A navy boot who's mighty sweet Compared to others of the fleet, A swabbie who I hope to see In a day or two, maybe three, A man who may by summer be In England, France, or Sicily, Bell bottom trousers, coat of blue, To my man I am always true. The Navy's made of fools like he, But army men don't appeal to me. -Shirley Zehner LITTLE MEAN TEACHER Little mean teacher, Come ring your bell. The boys are all fishing, The girl's in the dell. Where is that teacher? Oh! Where can she be? Why, she's in the woodshed, Beatin' the heck outa' me. -Robert Walsh si- .1021 .I LJ, . 0 I!

Gayla Moag The gold September was slightly tarnished when we stumbled over the threshold of home- room for the first time. New political ballyhoo was initiated during Junior elections, and the final outcome left a pile of upturned thrones in its wake. After the groans of battle had faded from the hall, the three cavaliers from 303 and Lone John emerged from the smoke as class strategists. Peering at the calendar, we noted that it was State Week, and the editorship of the News Record was ours ffor a time at least.l Flitting around town for news , we succeeded in scuf- fing our loafers into a comfortable shape. Miss Stout received our panting thanks for her in- valuable supervision. Half of the shadowy forms, glimpsed stalk- ing from house to house those moonless October nights were third classmen, out on a search for susceptible individuals, to affix their John Han- cocks to subscription slips. Wonder what the better half was doing? The addition of those profits to our previous assets made Fort Knox look like a piggy bank. After bobbing up at the two introductory dances of the semester, it was our turn to scuff the gym floor. To throw everyone into a holly and evergreen mood, the shag was held before Christmas vacation take-off and christened Dreamer's Holiday. Although none arrived with pine needles in their crewcuts or a pepper- mint stick clutched between their teeth, the mis- tletoe-hung-room endowed everyone with a proper seasonal feeling. Class salesmen lined the walls of a local PBX station for a hectic eight hour bake sale. Their persuasive smiles aimed at the unceasing influx of Saturday buyers were not unrewarded. Many a harassed domestician accepted the change from her purchase with a lighter heart, and the treasury received further padding. We do take occasional time-out from drudg- ery to enioy life's so-called lighter side. All school organizations are top heavy with third yearmen. Many have been hoisted into offices by other club members. On the rosters of the gridiron and basketball teams, there is a galaxy that answers to a Junior rating. Music and for- ensic contests always produce a rash of ambition among us, and we're well represented in the choruses, too. Something would surely be miss- ing from the local pigskin duels, if Joyce weren't puffing away at her trombone and Glenn mak- ing like Harry James. When the nod was given to the idea of having each home room present an assembly play, the Thespian Juniors dived into a Notre Dame huddle and came through with several rollicksome offerings. In early spring our riotous three act comedy landed behind the footlights and unearthed more unsuspected dramatic abil- ity. The whole thing was pushed along consid- erably by Mr. Crawford and Mr. Jamison, our faculty advisors. Remembering that we are only human, the effect achieved for the prom was unbelievable. The totally unrecognizable gym could have vied with Bill Green's and was worth all the bruised the embellishing process. thumbs received in Surprisingly enough, no one sprained an ankle doing the rhumba or upset a water tumbler. ln fact, the evening was close to perfect!

At night some say prayers, while others count sheep. To us, iust mention: WORK, and we're fast asleep. Some worry and fuss before a test, But what's the use when we've flunked all the rest? The teachers declare, if we don't change our ways, They'll do something drastic-Even if crime never pays. You are in high school and so am I, But the truth is: No one knows why! You should have arrived here with some form of a brain, But the Freshies arrived on the train of insane. The seniors are educated from books of yorep We get ours from giggles, nine to four. But for finer friends and kids that are really nifty, No one can compare with the Freshies of fifty. -Mary Louise La uten FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President ....... ...,..

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF EIGHTH GRADE Only now does Mrs. Campbell know what perils confronted her on that sunny, golden au- tumn day of September, 1950, when she became adviser of us Eighth Graders. We decided to assist her, so we elected Gilbert Watson, presi- dent, Wilbur Otto, vice president, Ruth Anderson, secretary, and Norman Walker, treasurer. Any eighth grader's school day begins with zest. As we enter 202, we create a spirited up- roar. For five seconds before the tardy bell, everyone holds his breath, waiting--hoping, for Wilbur to breeze in, and with the first sound of the bell, Wilbur, gasping for breath, appears. After devotions, we take time out to admire BIackboard Kenny's spic and span work of art. Then our hands fiy up with volunteers for cur- rent events, sports, and eighth grade chatter- Gilbert, Henry, and Bill are the most hep here. Our chatter turned into plans climaxed by a neck-breaking, knee-busting, iolly eighth grade skating party at Evans City on February 16. One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! Over and over again! Yes, we're now in first period gym class. Then for a game to let off steam, and we all come out of the showers, iust a bunch of drips. Second period, English! We learn it iust ain't right to say, I don't know 'nuthin', and 'E we we tell Mrs. Campbell much better stories abou t why our homework isn't done than we find in literature books. History class brings one of Mr. Jamison's surprise quizzes. Down zoom our grades. Fourth period, geography, and at noon rings the long-awaited lzlbll. There's a mad rush for the door, but quick examination shows no bones broken. At 12:45 our horde tramps back, and after hanging up our coats, Pete, Louis, and the boys commence a game' of hide and seek-on the sly, of course. The late bell rings, and in three sec- onds, everyone is in his seat. Mrs. Campbell makes a quick survey of the floor, which im- proves in neatness day by day. For fifth period study, Mr. Bender lets us whisper together, when he's in a good mood. We learn about maior and minor during sixth period music, and for seventh period art, a short cut through lunch room gives time for a coke switched from a buddy. When we finally get to art class, anything may happen. Most artistic paint designs appear-all in the wrong places. Eighth period math and its geometric designs are just too deep for us. At long last, the dismissal bell cheerily rings, and we exit after a merry day at Zelie High. -Ellen Lee Morgan BOOKS You can go in a book To a far away land, Live in a castle, Be someone grand.

And everything's so new to us, We're always in a dither. We're not allowed to make a fuss Or copy homework, either. They make us learn a lot of stuff That we don't care about. l'm telling you, it's really tough, And yet, there is no doubt, That if we play along with it Someday we all may find As citizens we will be fit And have a better mind. We'll think for ourselves and won't need aid To know what we should do, And we'll look back on seventh grade So glad we made it through. --Mary Etta Stover LIFE IS LIKE THAT I must go back to school again, to the school and my front seat, But all I ask is a study hall with no homework to complete. Where my books are closed and the desks are carved The pupils just awaking, A disgusted look on the teacher's face and a long, long silence breaking. I must go back to school again 'Tis the call of my mother so bored, A loud call and a clear call that may not be ignored. And all I asked was to be left alone under the covers to rest To sadly think of the things ahead for instance, six weeks' tests. I must go home from school now soon and dreams will then come true. No carved desks to gaze upon, No unfinished work to do. Now all we need is a passing grade from all of our teacher friends, And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream before this school year ends. -Helen Ketterer 30 r-1,--Q-rw euenm gifac!e Wofea Row I: B.

Through our extra-curricular activities, we learn to live and work together in harmony, plan- ning for enioyment and interest. Activities are the bonds which tend to bring the teachers and classmates closer together in everything they do. Through them, lasting friendships are established and cultivated. Our activities are excellent preparation for future work. Qualities of leader- ship are developed and demonstrated. Interests grow and thrive. Good habits are furthered, and understanding and willingness are important factors. Toler- ance and respect for other people's views are expressed. We can truly say that through these organizations, individual personality is developed in the youth, and school fellowship is established. sk xc 32 1 - X, . v . f arf Qu, 'L'.i-Z., W, K. 4' . A K.

The members, chosen from the upper third of the senior class, are elected on the four principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. Members are elected annually by a major- ity vote of the faculty. Those who were chosen during their Junior year were: Beatrice Beyerl, Janet Davis, Carolyn Frankenstein, Nancy Hirsch, Francis Pflug, and Charles Gross. In January, Shirley Hickey and Howard McCandless were chosen. These two plus the others elected last year make up the 15? quota of the Zelienople Senior Class. ln February, the Honor Society, under the direction of Miss Bennett, gave the library its annual cleaning. The scrubbing was thorough, all books were dusted and arranged, and each member enioyed the fun. Closing the school year, four new members were elected from the iunior class. These iuniors will be the foundation for next year's Honor Society. Each and every member is proud of the honor which is bestowed on him when he is elected into this organization. We hope that the members of future Honor Societies will be as proud and respectful of its membership as we.

Barely getting started in the spring of 1949, under the able guidance of Mr. Barnes, it began to remove the skids in the fall. The old mem- bers, who were elected during the 1948-49 school year, attended a student council rally at Mars on November second. All had a good time, and the members from Zelienople High School came home with many new ideas. The council consists of a senator from each grade and a representative from each home room. The present membership is nineteen. After the council got the legislative ma- chinery rolling, it was decided that a president was to be elected from the senior class by the student body. A very interesting campaign was launched by the candidates for the presidency. As the campaign reached its height, slogans and mottos covered the edifice. November eighth was election day, and after all the ballots were counted, Chuck Gross became the first student council president. ln order to have student participation in as- semblies, assembly programs were turned over for student council direction. Home rooms and clubs were requested to put on separate assem- blies. After no responses appeared, the student council took the initiative and conducted an as- sembly program on January sixth. It was a quiz program based on questions about the school. As expected, home rooms and clubs, after being shown an example, soon showed their eagerness in the plan and some very interesting and humor- ous assemblies followed. Another proiect which the council sponsored during its first active year was planning for the Christmas assembly. The auditorium was beau- tifully decorated by the Hi-Y club, along with aid from council members. The musical angle, a necessity for any Christmas program, was suffi- ciently provided for. Not only did our own high school chorus sing, but the Universal Chorus en- tertained us for this special occasion. After a visit from Santa Claus, the student body, with the Christmas Spirit fresh in their minds, began their vacation. Successfully taking care of numerous other activities throughout the current year, the Zelien- ople Student Council has certainly laid the corner- stone and set the pace for future council.

From south of the border, comes the influ- ence for the merry-making Spanish Club. You have only to take Spanish to be enrolled and ioin in the fun. As usual, the year started out with the initiation of newcomers. This was rather a necessity this year because there were only three members, land Dan Powelli left. Of course these old members take the responsibility of wel- coming land l use the term looselyj the unsus- pecting Spanish lovers at the first meeting. For being slightly outnumbered, they didn't do badly on the torture angle. What can you expect with Dan contriving fienclish deeds to play on these poor kids? After being blindfolded and carried on a chair up winding stairs and through dark corridors, they were electrocuted, not fatally, thank heaven! After this, food provided com- pensation for the foul deeds and once more everyone was friends. Next came the electing of officers. Maybe it was the enthusiasm of the new members but whatever it was, when the votes were counted, there seemed to be about three times as many ballots as there were Span- ish lovers. But after a re-election it was Cath- erine Regal, out in front for president, Bee Beyerl, running a close second, became vice president, with James Lewis swinging the votes for treas- urer, and Gayla Moag getting the position as sec- retary. We have within our group such exclusive members as Bruce Leopardi, who spends one day out of the week in Spanish Class and the rest of the time in Mr. Rodemoyer's office. And that cer- tain treasurer is rather anxious for us to make some money. l wonder why? ? ? This year's activities have been varied and entertaining, and we've had quite a time. You need only to get this group assembled in one place for the fun to begin. Anything can hap- pen, and usually does. Just ask Miss Bennett, our patient advisor. And so to some of our alumni who won't be returning for another year, we bid you adio's ! jd? .Away p!0fC85 Under the capable supervision of Miss Ben- nett, the Latin Club of 1949 began a year of fun and folly. Our primary purpose was to learn Latin and have fun in the process. The first ac- tivity of the year was the election of officers, who were the guiding hands of the organization. Gayla Moag was our choice for the presidency, and John Deahl was chosen to assist her. Serv- ing as secretary was Judy Myers, and Dee Thomas was the treasurer. During the middle part of November, the first meeting was held in room 204. This meet- ing was characterized by the initiation of the first-year-members. The girls were required to report to school that day with very original hair- do's and their dresses in rather awkward posi- tions. The boys had to wear their shirts back- ward and put make-up on their pretty faces. After dark, the lucky new members revisited the school for the remainder of their initiation. They were rewarded with a shocking good time which was described by many as Ouch ! Dis- pensing with the fun, we had a short business meeting followed by songs and eats. The meetings were scheduled once a month and several special activities were planned such as a Christmas party and carol singing in the Christmas season. ln short, if you want to have a good time and be well-known about the social world of our school, ioin the Latin Club. The only requirement is that you must take a course in Latin. y9cmi5 unc! Oflafin C5445 First Row: J. Belles, C. Regal, N. Smivh, E. Terlinden, L. Nye, R. Sfemer, J. Wassum, G.

The F. H. A. has 35 mem- bers, and they meet on the first Monday of every month. Colors of the club are red and white, and their choice flower is the rose. This club has a very appropriate emblem, a house supported by two hands. Toward New Horizons is their motto. In November, all the new members were initiated into the club. The girls attended the for- mal candlelight initiation in the evening. A busi- ness meeting was held, at which the following officers were elected: President, Janet Shaffer, Vice-President, Janice McClain, Secretary, Eliza- beth Szakelyhide, Treasurer, Mary Lou Knauer. A regular form is usual for the F. H. A. meet- ings, which generally consist of a business meet- ing, followed by entertainment provided by a chosen committee. Toward the end of the meet- ing, a luncheon is served, which you can always rely upon to be pleasing to the taste. dfI l'l'L8I 6 ,QW The Zelienople Chapter of the Future Farm- ers of America is a division of the state and na- tional organization composed of students enrolled in vocational agriculture. Last summer, honor was brought to the club by several of its members. ln June, Don Sutch was the gold-emblem winner in the State Live- stock Judging Contest at State College, Pennsyl- vania. July and August brought more honors. Five boys entered baby beef calves in the Butler Farm Show. They were Dale Freshcorn, James All- mann, Robert Pflugh, Wayne Cooper and Robert Brenner. Dale Freshcorn had the Grand Cham- pion Hereford, and the other four boys got prizes first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh with their calves. Later in the day the Zelienople boys also took first, third, fourth, fifth, and eighth placings in the Showmanship Contest. One week later at the Butler Fair, Dale Freshcorn entered his calf and again had the Grand Champion Hereford of the Show. When school began, all the farm boys iour- neyed back to Room 302 for their daily two- period grind under Mr. Mack's lectures. Just about that time Deacon Bill Orock, The Taber- nacle Kid stretched out for his 7th period snooze, Dale Thomas was already sleeping soundly, and someone else called out, Somebody close the window. lt's cold in here! Then Mr. Mack's voice could be heard: All right, you little chil- dren, let's go to work. Geribaldy, Uerry Schroederi What is a pig? Of course, the club members participate in many activities, other than their regular meet- ings. When October rolled around, Mrs. Kauf- man, their very able director, and four represen- tatives went to the New Castle Regional meeting. At the time of the year when good cheer is at its best, which naturally is Christmas, a very ioyous party was held, and the members exchanged gifts. To start the new year out right, representa- tives of the F. H. A. were sent to the state meet- ing and to the farm show. On February 6, the members, along with their prospective valentines, held a party with all the trimmings. During the remainder of the year, many more activities were attended. Joyous times were had by all the members. To conclude a very successful year, a fare- well party was held for the senior members of the club. Good luck to the Future Homemakers! We hope they will have many successful years. il.. .SDJ The first activity of the club was the initiation of eight new members. Their initiation started a week before the October club meeting. They were each given the traditional green hand which they were to wear at the middle of their backs. This green hand is the symbol of youth in agriculture. When they came to the club meeting, they were sworn in and became members of the club. Following that, an informal initiation was held in the dining hall, and everyone had a good time. Then came the Pittsburgh Junior Livestock Show. N. Teets, D. Freshcorn, R. Pflugh, J. All- mann, W. Cooper, and R. Brenner entered calves. They won four prizes: first, third, fourth, and eighth in the classes, and a fifth place in the Fit- ting Contest. For the fourth consecutive year, Zelienople Future Farmers came home with more ribbons, and more prize money than any other club com- peting in the Livestock Show. The November club meeting brought around the time for the election of new officers. When the votes were counted, the results were: Wayne Cooper-Pres., Donald Bintrim-V. Pres., Robert Fischer-Sec., and Ralph Kaufman-Treas. ln January, the club went as a group to the Pennsylvania State Farm Show at Harrisburg, Pa. Much of the credit for the success of the Zelienople F. F. A. goes to Mr. Mack, our able instructor and advisor. jlftflftfe First 0WL8l'VL6lf 8l 5 CLVLC! ,cg-6lfl l'l'L8l :5 O! ,!gl'VL8l LC6Z Row: P.

Here is an organization of tasty-looking fem- inine charmers, known to everyone as the Girls' Leaders Club. lf you stop by the high school some night and hear nothing but laughter and uncontrolled chatter, you won't have to guess twice to know who's holding a meeting. Despite this fact, we actually get lots of work done at our business meetings, thanks to Ma . Members are selected from the uppercrust fseniorgand iunior classesl in the fall of the year, and again from the lower classes in the spring. Our initiation ceremonies, only we could orig- inate. After some of those stunts are performed on Main Street, which make you feel like you're back in kindergarten, you deserve to be a mem- ber, provided, of course, you make a fool of yourself the next day in school by coming arrayed in the old look fshort skirtsl, dad's shirt worn backwards, one high-heeled shoe and a boot, and other conspicuous articles that make you look like something the cat dragged in. Meetings are held once a month in the audi- torium, where Ma keeps an eye on us. After a short consultation on the current business, we usually play volleyball. lf there's food, this doesn't last too long, because we don't want to work up too much of an appetite. But whether we have a bowling party or iust an ordinary meeting, we have enough fun to last for weeks. To start things out this year, we had a hay- ride and a wiener roast. Later we sold food at the basketball games. Then, when spring rolled around, the usual farewell party was given for the seniors. This climaxed a successful year under such leaders as Lois Ann Hartman, Presi- dent, Delores Thomas, Vice President, Janet Davis, Treasurer, Shirley Hickey, Secretary. Ol ed QU! jefmfl! Hi-Y Club really got started on the right foot this year. flf you don't believe the previous state- ment, consult any of the new members about how their feet felt the day after initiation.l The ini- tiation, at which the new members received a warm welcome, was one of the first meetings. After several tests of ability were taken at the school, a ride followed. However, the new mem- bers were accidentally lost along the way. Although some of the boy scouts got mixed up in their directions and walked a good many needless miles home, a good time was enioyed by all. Cbig iokelj Russ Poland still is anxiously waiting for his third helping of raw oysters, and l am quite sure that everyone initiated now believes that the Bible surely has power. By the way, the new members who were inaugurated into the club this year include Francis Pflug, Russ Poland, Tom Wise, Pete Ketterer, Pete Hogan, Ed Alberth, Alan King, and Mark Wehr. All these members were voted into the club by at least a two-thirds vote of the old members. Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living are the requisites by which a member is selected. One of the more prominent and active clubs in the school is also a term which benefits the Zelienople Hi-Y Club. Being one of the six hun- dred Hi-Y Clubs in Pennsylvania and one of the five thousand such clubs in the United States cer- tainly proves that it is prominent. Proof of its growth is evident by the fact that it is becoming a world-wide organization with sixty countries of the world having similar clubs. Sponsored usually by the Y. M. C. A., the purpose is to cre- ate, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. Although sometimes there were special meetings sandwiched in between, the Hi-Y Club met about once every month. Initiation, a swim- ming party at Butler, speakers, games in the gym, and business formed the nucleus of these meet- ings. Besides performing other duties around the school, the Hi-Y was in charge of the lights dur- ing all assemblies and the devotions in the morn- ing assemblies. QI' 5 7 01261, 8l 15 HIL A' Row l: S.

Since Flo, Liz, Phyllis and Eleanor graduate this year, that means we need new cheerleaders to help June and Bev in the coming years. Peggy King, Patty Himes, Arlene Keck, and Juanita Palmer are the choice of the student body to carry on. These girls deserve much credit for their accomplishments. Good luck to our future cheerleaders! Throughout all of our athletic contests, whether football, basketball or track, our symbols of Purple and Gold Pep remind the teams that if they do their best, we will do the rest and fight on to victory.

Zbe Qfofen Being a member of the Varsity-Z Club is a title which almost everyone in the school envies. However, it concerns only a limited group, for membership is restricted to the masculine sex. To join this organization, a boy must have earned a letter in one of the three major sports in the school. The various phases of athletics which constitute our three major sports are: football, basketball, and track. Although the club has been almost entirely inactive in recent years, several meetings were held throughout the current year. The main subject matter of these meetings concerned the question of sweaters. As has been the custom previously, all seniors and those who have com- pleted playing all of their years of eligibility in W. P. I. A. L. competition were awarded sweaters. Altogether, seventeen gold sweaters, one of the largest numbers in the history of the school, were received by the fellows. ln order to obtain money with which to pur- chase these sweaters, the Varsity-Z initiated a new angle, which undoubtedly will be followed in future years. Advertisement space in the home football game programs was sold. Showing their eagerness to support the school, the town merchants readily gobbled-up the pages of the program. Also, a new constitution was drawn up by the Varsity-Z Club during the T949-50 school year.. Although the club has remained inactive, keep in mind that it is the members of this organi- zation who are bearers of the Z in the athletic field. Below, are listed the sports in which each fellow has earned his letter. Row I Row 2 Row 3 Camera-shy J- ZUlUC5, f00!bClll, bUSlK9flJ0lli H. Leonberg, football Cmgrj, R.

Everyone looks forward to Friday morning when he can get together and give out with everything from iazz to ballads. Along with Mr. Lewis' iokes and cornies , the portable rings with laughter and music. fmostly musicj These 47 singers were selected at the begin- ning of the year from the boys' and girls' chor- uses by Mr. Lewis. But don't get the idea that you have to be a future Bill Lawrence or Peggy Lee to be picked as a member of mixed chorus.- You iust have to want to sing and do the best iob you can. It's about the only class in school where you can keep your mouth open all period and still not get sent to the office, so why not give it a try? Sometimes, early morning sessions are held. Then you crawl out of bed fwhat seems to you like the middle of the nightj and, practice your do, re, mi's before 8 o'clock. It's worth it, though, when you see how that practice helps you. Activities for this active group went some- thing like this: On December 'l9th the mixed chorus pre- sented its annual Christmas cantata, entitled A Night ln Judean Hills . Some brave souls even attempted solos, and every one admits the per- formance was a great success. At the Forensic and Music Contests of 1949, the Mixed Chorus came through with flyitfb colors. They were given superior ratings at the County and District meets, and in the State Con- test the Chorus was rated as excellent. Then when the snow melted and spring came round again, the Mixed Chorus continued its success with the spring concert. Their last appearance of the year was made at Baccalaureate, where some of the seniors sang with the group for the last time. Of course this group would be nothing with- out Mr. Lewis, who with his good-natured criti- cism and vivacious personality, is the force behind the Mixed Chorus. aglfrile Mo Jw gan! The old adage, Third Time is a Charm, has surely been fulfilled. The third year of able guidance under Mr. Lewis has produced a band of sixty-one members. This number includes fifty-five players, five twirlers, and four color guards, which is unmistakably the largest band Zelie has had in a long time. Besides being mighty in number, the band is also good. This is evident by the fact that last year our band was district class B champions and placed in the state. Individually, the band fur- nished two members for the midwestern band, one of whom received the honor of being chosen for the state band. Three members of the band achieved the task of being district champs in solos. Patty Himes took first in the French horn department, no one could excel the versatile twirl- ing of Sue Anderson, and Tom Stuck acquired top honors in the mastery of the saxophone. Further proof of our band's melodic harmony and rhythm was obtained by watching our band review anytime or anyplace throughout the cur- rent year. Probably, the most prominent time and locale to everyone was the band playing at the half times of our football games. Memories of the presentation of the Three Trees at the Bessemer-Zelie football game will undoubtedly linger in the minds of all those present for a long time. Numerous activities in which the band took part were: the spring concert, the school assem- blies, plays, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. One of the tasks ofthe band was eliminated this year by the Rhythmairs, composed of band mem- bers, when they provided the music at the Senior Play. It is indeed good music to one's ears to have outsiders remark, My, what a fine band you have! Yes, both the students of Zelie Hi and people of our town have good reason to be proud of the organization that is known as the BAND. imc! 5A0r1fc5 ana! gan Row 1: E. McWithey, J, Urie, D.

Kang ,AQ yo ,Singing We bestow our sincere congratulations to the male harmonizers who, with their member- ship tuned to twenty , were so melodiously ac- tive this year. Public appearances were cheer- fully made, but the necessity for their existence was the fun they experienced in making-out with music. During the fourth period on Tues- days and Thursdays, the boys would make the rafters ring with their lively singing. Their able director, Mr. Lewis, not only con- ducted, but sang with the boys. Whenever the chorus sang Deaf Old Woman or Ride in The Chariot , they would produce a spine-tingling sensation we shall never forget. Christmas Candles and Now Sing We, Now Reioice , were sung beautifully in the Christmas asimbly pro- gram. Favorites of the boys were sotne fine old Negro spirituals. All the boys in the chorus made up the male section of the mixed chorus. In their midst was the county bass solo champion, Carl Bhame. Although they have not, as yet, produced any world famous vocalists, the boys are acquiring a keener appreciation of music and are having a wholesome, good time. We, of Zelie, are proud of our boys' chorus. ofglfd 52119 Oda me gr iw ing As they scampered hurriedly into the port- able, during those frost-laden months, the would-be Traubels and Pons of the Girls' Chorus may have wished eagerly for a steam heated tunnel, but their spirited rehearsals gave no vis- ible indications of any mutinous ponderings. With his hair dribbling frantically down his high scholarly forehead, Mr. Lewis has navigated the two weekly periods in his usual capable and inimitable manner. Running up and down the scales caused some of the gals to have bulging vocal cords, but they never swerved from their charted course. They managed to pounce on the correct notes and at the same time, iniect enthu- siastic feeling into the assorted arias. When they trilled an excerpt from the timeless operetta, DESERT SONG, a vision of the Vagabond Prince treading the hot gleaming sand swirled up before them. Although it was mid-December, the win- dows had to be swung open because everyone was wilting from the power of suggestion! Before the push-off for Yuletide celebra- tions, the swashbuckling yodelers presented a medley of appropriate Christmas melodies, in- cluding the softly appealing CAROL OF THE BIRDS. Everyone was so attentive you could not even hear the cellophane being slipped from the all-day suckers. This was very encouraging to the future prima divas who uncurtained another potpourri later in the year. Jigglin' live has a firm half-Nelson hold on the choraliers. Any Mozartian high-browed ideas were as outdated as a Van Dyke, after they lent an ear to the chug-chug rhythm of DOWN BY THE STATION. This foot-stomping ditty leads their popularity race by ten laps. Because last year's group of meadow larks strolled away from the Music Contest clutching the county championship, they had a goal to stride toward during this term's duration. When the springing up of delicate hyacinths heralded the final retreat of winter, the vocalizing in the traditional Spring Concert entranced the audi- ence and proved to the chorus that their first rasp- ing efforts had been polished to a shining sem- blance of the '49 victors. v a Oyff 6Llf1, QI' 5 KAOIADL5 Row 'l: D.

Someone yells, Curtain! and my legs start shak- ing like freshly cooked spaghetti. Oh well, you only die once! Go out there, and do your best. Mother ls A Freshman opens in a corner of the Abbott home. Abigail is trying to convince her teen-age daughter, Susan, that in order to keep her at Pointer College, she'll have to take advantage of the Abigail Fortitude Memorial Scholarship. Abigail's husband has been dead some years and they're down to their last penny. Susan iust can't see her mother as a freshman, when she's a sophomore. Abigail arrives at Pointer, getting a deep freeze from the dean, but quite a different recep- tion from the boys, who think she's out of this world . Then, the handsome zoology professor, Danial Micheals, appears, with the obiect of try- ing to get Abby to tell him why she's at Pointer. He soon forgets his mission, and becomes quite interested in her past, present and future. lt just so happens that Susan is infatuatecl with Professor Micheals, and thinks it's the real thing. Poor Bobo, Susan's devoted boy friend, has to be second choice. The night of the big fall dance arrives and Dan persuades Abby to go to the dance with him. The climax comes when Dan enforces a Pointer tradition lkisses Abbyl and Dean Gilling- ham and Susan arrive on the scene. Susan is heartbroken, and just can't forgive her mother for such a thing. All are happy, in the end, with mother and daughter both getting their man. Producing Mother ls A Freshman was so much fun for everyone, but we seniors could never have made it such a success without the help of our director, Miss Stout: our Business Man- ager, Mr. Barnes, and our whole ploy committee, who helped make our senior play a triumph. 'Q omior C5155 Medentd On March 31, when the class of 5l staged tl--r junior play, everyone went all-out to assure a successful performance. All of the long hours 'af '.ard work required to learn the lines, make the sets, apply makeup, and do countless other things almost seemed iustified by the final result. Always encouraging the iuniors when things weren't going smoothly, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Jamison provided the spark necessary to ignite within them a desire to improve their play. The Academy Award cast that was chosen for the play included: Doris Otto, who played the part of the amiable widow, Mary Buford, Judy Myers, who was Evelyn, the pretty daugh- ter of Mary Buford, Glenn Freshcorn as Winston lWinnieJ, the fifteen-year-old son of Mary Bu- ford, Joyce Holben who was Binnie, Winnie's twin sister, Tom Stuck as James Horton Travis, Evelyn's best beau, Patricia Rinesmith as Jean Owen, a friend of Evelyn's, Velma Johnson who took the part of another of Evelyn's friends, Betty Mrs. Mary Buford . ,, Evelyn Buford . ..,. .

The fact that she broke her leg prevented her from leaving them, and when she finally did leave, everyone had given up hope of getting any money from her. She had finally begun to like the children, however, and gave them a large amount of money. Doris Otto .. ,.,.. Judy Myers . Glenn Freshcorn . , ., Joyce Holben Tom Stuck Patricia Rinesmith , ,.

Well here it is! The best seller of the year! That's right! Our staff wishes to present to you the 1950 ZELIE-ANN of which we are very proud. Of course, we're sure everyone will agree with us after they have thoroughly covered our book. lWell, at least we hope so.J Our production started off with a bang in September, as the members of the staff were elected by the senior class. The first thing on the slate was a short meeting of the staff with our very capable advisor, Mrs. Campbell, and her assistant Mr. Tiger. At this meeting, the duties of each staff member were presented. Well,- after that, things began to happen. It seemed as though some one stuck a fire-cracker under the whole bunch. Subscriptions started pouring in by the dozens, and when we had finished, we had topped sales of the last two years. Pretty good! I'll say it was. Then came our plans for the theme, dedica- tion, and so forth. I'll never forget the day we chose the cover for the yearbook. It seemed as though we would never agree, as an equal num- ber ofthe staff wanted white, and an equal num- ber wanted red. Just then, Frances appeared on the scene, and the number became a maiority for the ----- , now why should I tell you that? If you don't know now, you never will. So, on with the publication. After that came the pictures, formal and informal. Believe me, that was one good way to get out of classes. When the confusion was over, and all the smoke had cleared, we found ourselves with some really good pictures, as you can plainly see scattered throughout the book. fFor example, take a look at the lovely picture on this page.J Then, there was the exquisite dummy that Carolyn and Janet planned. Let me see, was it three or four times that it was done over? Oh! and there was poor Bee. I can still see her working far into the night with those song titles. Many a day you could see Bill sneaking into a class for a quick shot of a teacher. If you were looking for Shir- ley, she could usually be found in the office mak- ing a phone call to Mr. Bennett. Write ups re- written, copies retyped, art redrawn, and then -------the climax. So, here it is, bright and new-thanks to the wonderful cooperation of each member of the staff and our more than able directors, Mrs. Campbell, and Mr. Tiger. We now place it in the hands of you, the public, in the hopes that you will greatly approve our accomplishment. 868- lflflfl, Editor-in-chief Carolyn Frankenstein Assistant Editor , .

Teamwork is stressed as the players learn to work together. Good will and high spirits are shown, and a greater sense of understanding is developed between opponents. Without this friendly competi- tion, we would no longer be living up to our standards of democracy, for what is competition, if it is not a part of democracy? These activities not only build sound bodies, but also sound minds. Games such as football and basketball require vigor, precision, and quickthinking. A sense of loyalty is acquired by each and every student as he backs his team in time of need. All in all, competitive sports are essential in every demo- cratic system of today. t . fs f 49? t -.. c-ad, fa ,. KM f ff is sw 'vc ff!!

GRIDIRON HIGHLIGHTS The Golden Bears experienced a most successful 1950 grid season under the competent direction of Coaches Bender and Stahlman. There were a few breaks in the Bears' favor. These breaks were made by the hard fighting and the persistent charging that marked the Bears as a tough team. When Coach Ben- der gave orders to Hit 'm hard! , the Golden Bears responded, right down the line. The grid season opened with a heart-breaking loss to Mercer. Showing their ability in the Shenango game to come from behind to win, the Bender-men marched over Evans City in her own backyard. The Scotties of Union put up quite a scrap, but when it came to the Bessemer game, that was a real clash, with the Bears on top of the pile. In the second con- test with Evans City, the Rams with encouragement from the first half, were a peppy team. Shannock was a good warm up for the exciting game with Mars. The less that is said about the Carnegie game, the better. Although the decision wasn't too popular in Bes- semer, Zelienople came out of the tri-county with the championship. Among the class B schools in the W. P. l. A. L. Zelie rated fifth. The victorious Bears were honored at every hand by the Zelienople public. As a final tribute to the Golden Bears of '50, the community, on a cooperative basis, sponsored a testimonial dinner for Coach Al COACH BENDER Bender and his champion squad. 54 J. Lurso D.

Neither team scored in the first period. A Frederick to Ketterer marked up the first tally. Mercer bounced back with ex- cellent running, chalking up two TD's. Both teams were held scoreless in the third period. Zelie tied the score with a Soltesz to Ketterer. Minutes before the whistle, Mercer added an- other tally. Not indicated by the score, the Bears were keen competition all the hard-fought way. Zelie 14 Shenongo 13 The Bears came from behind to chalk up their first victory. ln the first two periods, the Bears were evidently spotting the opponents. At coke and hot dog time, the tally was 7-13, lop- sided for Shenango. With the machinery oiled, the Bendermen showed excellent team coopera- tion and tallied another 7 points. The small but mighty extra points, by the Toe , came in handy. Zelie I3 Evans City 0 Toned against the traditional rivals, the Rams and the Bears met for their first clash. McCandless pushed over right tackle for the first TD. The Rams found the line hard bucking and were held scoreless the entire game. In the third period, Frederick sneaked over for the Bears' second tally. Zaiacs fell on an Evans City fumble to end the game. Zelie 7 Union Township 0 For the first three periods, the game looked as if it would be a repeater from last year, as the game was scoreless. An interception by Bhame set up the TD. McCandless uncorked a 35 yard run for the TD. The Toe , Ketterer, booted the conversion. Running against the Bears, the Scotties were stopped and held. Zelie 14 Bessemer 12 In the hardest fought battle seen in these parts, the Bears held their unmarred Class B record. Thomas and McCandless teamed up to put the ball on the Red and Black's five. Fred- erick sneaked over for the first tally. Galloping ers bounded back with a tally just before the half. Battling hard, both teams were held score- less in the third period. Sparked by hard run- ning, Bessemer pushed over their second TD in the final period. Zelie 14 Evans City 6 ln the second game of the season against the traditional rival, the Bendermen spotted the Rams in the first half. The Rams chalked up thair lone tally in the first period. A McCandless to Hogan marked the first TD. In the final period, the Bears tallied, with McCandless over guard with the aid of excellent blocking. As time ran out, both teams threatened. Zelie 20 Shannock 6 The new-comers proved to be the least trouble of any on the schedule. The Bears tal- lied first, in the second period. In the fourth quarter the team marched over the Shannock team and Thomas put over the second tally. Ket- terrer kicked the extra point, making his tenth consecutive conversion. A determined Shannock came back with their lone tally. On the kick off, McCandless received and under magnificent blocking, raced 85 yards for a spectacular touch- down. Zelie 14 Mars 7 The Planets made the first move with a TD in the first quarter. Zelie threatened the Planets just before the half time, but Mars held. After half time, the Bears rallied and clawed their way to the tune of two tallies in the third quarter. Try- ing hard, the Planets tried to salvage at least a tie, but found the Bender-wall too tough to crack. This victory put the Bears at the top of the tri- angle of the Little Three championship. Zelie 7 Carnegie 32 The Bears' winning streak was snapped in the last game of the season against the Class A Carnegie. The Bendermen's lone tally was a Frederick to Hogan, in the first quarter. Before half time, Carnegie had chalked up two TD's. fl -5. A I Ti i. fx' Ji, 1 In L ti X2 ki 1 K' , 'sa,'19 . dx s . Ki . ,N 'S N ' ,, X-. W fr?

The Bears seemed to have trouble in the third quarter of the maiority of their games, and they were unable to find the basket, espe- cially on the long shots. But in the final stanza of the game, they usually gave their opponents a tough time and put them on their guard. After the five seniors that are on the first team leave this year, there will be a capable team of underclassmen to take their places. These underclassmen won seven of their games. The boys had a lot of fun at their prac- tices and at the games, but they also worked and let's wish all our luck to the boys of next year who will carry on basketball in Zelienople High School. v,..,...,.,,,,, 301' MPIQL 61,11 VARSITY SCORES We They 20 ,. ,.,.

The Bendermen lost their first dual meet in five years to Beaver. Competition from Evans City was very close, being top heavy for Evans City. Union Twp. was our cindermen's first victory of the year, and the Golden Bears sang their halleluiahs when they again cap- tured the Tri-County trophy. The competition proved better as records were lowered in the hundred yard dash, mile run, pole vault and shot Ui. P ln dash results of the tri-county, Lloyd John- ston ploughed for third with Glenn Freshcorn fourth. The two-twenty found Freshcorn with a third and Dale Thomas a fourth. In the gruelling four-forty yard run, McCandless pounded in for a second, and Johnston trailed for a fourth.

'Twas twelve fifteen and what do you think? Nor red nor white had begun to sink. The old microscope and the doctors three Were lust as sure as any could be. There was going to be a horrible fight. ll wasn't there, I simply agree With what was said by the doctors three.D The red corpuscle went, Grr-rr-rr! And the white corpuscle replied, Row-rr! The stream was soon filled, in a minute or so With more corpuscles all in a row, While the old microscope was dancin' around And the doctors three jumped off the ground. For they always liked to see a row. fl know, you say I wasn't there, But the story is true, the doctors decIare.l The red corpuscle was turning blue And shouted loudly, What shall I do? But all the corpuscles, both red and white, Began to assemble in their lines, to fight, Waiting impatiently for the call To send them to victory or maybe downfall. And Ohl how the pile of wounded grew! fDon't think I overestimate. The doctors said 'twas the hand of Fate.l Next morning where the foes had fought They found no trace of any of the lot, The microscope had run away, And the doctors three could only say, We must have dreamed that it happened thus, For surely we didn't make this fuss, Now can you believe this story was wrought In the minds of the doctors three? CWelI, it was,-or so they told me.J -Betty Burr THAT CAR There is a car that's red and gray, The driver's cute, I know, Because about three months ago He used to be my beau. I'd sat there, dreaming in his arms, His lips were next to mine. He looked right down at me and said, Be mine, till end of time. And now he comes in town at eight To have a lot of fun. I don't know how he rates so much, But how the girls all run! At noon he drives around the street To see what he can see. I wish he'd look around some more, Then maybe he'd see me. But now, you see as years go by, My heart is pale and blue, Because, you see, this man of mine Was never really true. -Jane Shaffer MY VALENTINE TO YOU Mushy valentines, I hate.

Your clothes are mussedp your shoes are worn, You never look quite right. Your voice is harsh, it gets me down. Your English is atrocious. Your face looks like a bright red brick- lt makes you look ferocious. Someday when you are old and grey, A'nd lying on your bed, I'II be a friend and take a gun And shoot you in the head. When all your worldly troubles end, In Heaven you will be. Or if you go to somewhere else, I'm sure that you'lI see me. -Catherine Regal -Eda Jane Bloom and Judith Ann Myers -qs-U -1: 'W 'T THE GHOST They say that ghosts haunt the graveyards, And are seen there at nlght, They scare the people from the place Until it is daylight. . They also soy the devil comes And rattles all his chains. He counts and numbers all the dead, And writes down all their names. Now I am not superstitious, I don't believe in ghosts, But many say they have seen them, And of their bravery boast. So I went up to spy last night, In the graveyard so old l saw a shape so very white And I grew very cold. I became so very frightened That chills ran up my spine. Then I turned and ran toward our house- The pleasure was all mine. I reached the house and was so glad That I was safe once mare. Then I heard footsteps on the porch. I feel I could have swore. The door opened and John walked in I'le's my brother, you know, And under 'neath his arm I saw A sheet as white as snow. -Edna Bernard MY FRIEND You're soft and white And ohl so warm. How I hate to leave you This cold Monday morn! Mom keeps yelling, You're going to be late. I huddle in tighter And hope time will wait. My bed-Oh, how I love youl And how I'd like to stay Underneath your warm covers, Fourteen hours each day. -Robert Walsh WHEN THE TEACHER GETS CROSS When the teacher gets cross, and her blue eyes get black, And the pencil comes down on the desk with a whack, We chillen all sit up straight in a line, As if we had rulers instead of a spine, And it's scary to cough, and it ain't safe to grin, When the teacher gets cross and the dimples go in. -leo Sapien za SOME IUNCHI There is a group, the Rhythmaires. We know we are so hot. Kids think we are ohl so dreamy. And others think we're not. Now take that guy named Glenn Freshkorn. We think he isn't right. 'Cause when he tries to play his horn People sure get a fright. And in our little orchestra. There is a guy named Platt Sometimes he plays so nice and smoothp Sometimes he plays so flat. And there's a guy who thinks he can- Play his dear little sax Sometimes he thinks he is so sweet I think he's full of tacks. There is that guy, by name of Bob, That strums that bass vi'lin. The way he lugs that thing around, You'd think he'd be all in. Look at our little drummer boy, He really is quite hot. Don't know where we'd be without him. And his special rim shot. El'nore, our dear little song bird, The angel of the crowd, When she sings her little solo, The people clap real loud. Now take the piano player, I think he's really good Some appreciate his music While others wish they could. So all in all, we're quite a bunch, That like to have some fun, But when we play those fast polkas We keep them on the run. -Ronald Herr SURPRISING SNOW Today I woke, and out of bed I did iump, I grabbed my robe, and went down the stairs, thumpety-thump It wasn't until after I had eaten, I know, That I looked out and saw everything covered with snow. As I hurried and scurried in the morning's rush, I hoped that beautiful snow had not turned to slush, For snow is so nice to make slides and scoots, But with slush, I have to put on my boots. -Wilbur Otto CUDDLES She cuddles, and coos, and calls him Dear, She says he's strong and has no fear, It's funny that this happens every year, Especially when Valentine's Day is almost here. -Mo ry Louise l.auten . , ., ., W., Mm- .W-.W ,mn-.f.,,,.r - .

BALLAD At the basketball game last night I watched the crowd around: I watched the faces that they made, Most of them made a frown. Mike missed an easy shot iust now, And Chuck let one go by: lt is the half-there goes the bell: My goshl how time does fly. A basket in for Zelie Highl This game is sure a pipy If we don't win this game on points, We'lI win on sportsmanship. ADVICE T0 GIRLS His hair is red, his eyes are blue, His clothes are all quite smart. His voice like Perry, Bing, and Bill, Does something to my heart. I try to think of things to say, But nothing comes to mind. I cannot say, I love you so, The words I cannot find. A kind word never comes from him. I never get a glance. His handsome, ruddy face I see, At every high school dance. What is the moral of this poem? Act bored, be cold, be coy. Be independent of their strength And you will get your boy. -Eda Jane Bloom DANNY BOY There is a boy in Zelie High I think his name is Dan. He hails from Harmony, Pa. And likes a girl named Nan. The other night they had a date. He took her to the game. Dan made eyes at a pretty girl, Now things won't be the same. You see, Nan is very iealous, She wants him for her own. So, girls, you'd better take advice And leave Dan alone. -M OVERCONFIDENCE There ls a boy in my home town Who thinks he is so smart And every time he has a quiz He makes an awful mark. Don't worry, says this smart alec, I'lI pass this course ok. But, that was two long years ago- He's still In there today. MY LOVE In the years that I have lived, -' I?

My love is stronger than the wind That whips across the sea, I have only to tell you, dear, That you were meant for me. I often think of you and see The years of wedded bliss, And pray that God fulfills for me My dreams of happfness. -M B l ary an ey Oh darlingl lf we should ever part, I fear that from that day, I would forever walk alone, Along life's dusty way. -Janet Davis MOTHER My mother is my friend, indeed, Her eyes are of sky blue, She means so very much to me, Because she is so true. I love her more and more each day, As the years come and go, She always guides me on my way, As mothers should, you know. My mother is my guiding light, So I will strive to do what's right, Will never cause her to fret, But live, that there are no regrets. , -Barbara Brew CHRISTMAS TIME There is a man I know quite well, Who comes around each year. We all know him as Santa Claus, He brings the whole world cheer. He has a sack upon his back: It's filled with gifts and toys. He makes a trip each Christmas Eve To all the girls and boys. Now say your prayers and be read good And Santa's sure to come. He may not bring you everything, But he will bring you some. ary McClelland He has a team of reindeer That pulls his little sleigh, And when he comes to your house, He's bound to come that way. Now stop and think what Christmas means, Just take some time to pray, For our great Savious, Jesus Christ, Was born upon this day. -Mary Jane Cunningham -Wayne Cooper sg ,., Q , Qi f IF if Q, H, , BENNETT STUDIOS, BUTLER, PENNA., PHOTOGRAPHY KURTZ BROS., CLEARFIELD, PENNA., PRINTING AND BINDING THE PHOTO-ENGRAVINGS USED IN THIS BOOK PRODUCED BY THE NORTHERN ENGRAVING AND ELECTROTYPE CO., CANTON, OHIO 64 r 4.1. . , .i..,- ss.
