ALMA KENT Alma was well known for her red hair and willingness to help others at any task that needed to be done. Red, as she was called by her friends, devoted a great deal of time to the magazine and yearbook. She edited the Person to Person column for the magazine. Her contribution to the yearbook as associate editor was invaluable. Red's service to Allegheny did not end with her work on the magazine and yearbook staffs. She was a member of the Service Squad, participated in the Wah Hoo Skits and senior class play, and held several homeroom offices. Alma derived her enjoy- ment from Dancing Club, College Club, and girls' sports, for which she received a chenille A. In recognition of her high scholastic standing plus her many services she was elected to National Honor Society when a junior. NORMA JEAN KETTERLE Norma's live wit and initiative made her one of Allegheny,s top students. Much of her valuable time was spent as editor-in-chief of the Wah Hoo, and associate editor of the yearbook. A few of her clubs were Social Dancing, Auto Drivers, Col- lege and Usherettes. With so much time devoted to school activities, she still found time for her school studies. This was proven by the fact that she maintained a posi- tion on the honor roll during her entire stay at Allegheny. All of her staff work, leadership, and scholastic ability was rewarded by her being elected to the National Honor Society. LEONARD MOORE The work and ideas of Lenny, as his friends called him, can be found on the pre- vious and following pages of this yearbook and the one previous to it. He held the position of art editor on both the yearbook and magazine staffs. Drawing for the staffs did not summarize his services to Allegheny. He was elected president of the Art Club and in this capacity was called upon many times to make up posters an- nouncing dances, school clean up campaigns, and other projects worthy of adver- tising. He participated in the Wah Hoo Skits and was a member of Service Squad. On Awards Day, Lenny was deservingly awarded the Unselfish Service Award. In celebration of the Bicentennial, all of the Pittsburgh schools together published a booklet and the cover was designed by Lenny. BERNARD SWEGMAN Bernie was quiet, active, and friendly while at Allegheny. His classmates' con- fidence in his leadership was shown by electing him class president since entering here in tenth grade, also Senior A class president. He showed his planning ability while serving on the Junior and Senior Prom committees. A few of his clubs were Social Dancing, College and Service Squad. As president of his class he led many assemblies and as a member of National Honor Society he conducted the induction services of new members.
