, 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.

Ml lbedicafe . . . 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.

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
