In athletics, de- bate, public speaking, and music our repre- sentatives have been winners in local, dis- trict, county, or state contests. The school has never before experienced a year marked by such uniform success in all branches of student activity. Success carries with it a challenge. We should seize this opportunity to capitalize upon the improved morale which has been developed by extending the enthusiasm for success to fields other than extra-curricular activities. Will it not be possible next year to achieve in every aspect of school life a better type of citizenship? Finally, those students who will take posi- tions of leadership following the graduation of the Class of 1940 must provide the initia- tive which will be necessary to keep our activities on a high level. I am sure that they will meet this challenge. OLIVER R. FLOYD ADMINISTRATION AN Through the student council, group assem- bly, the newspaper, debating and athletic teams and other school organizations, the student has had an opportunity to exercise principles of self-control, self-expression, and group cooperation. It is upon founda- tions such as these that a democracy is built. Without participation of this type, the basic theories of democracy are undermined. It is then that less desirable forms of govern- ment replace the democratic idea. We as- sume that we always will have a democracy because we have had it in the past. For this reason We make little effort to retain our civil liberties of freedom of speech, press and self-government. By participating in extra curricular activities and by exercising more self-control instead of depending upon external control, the student is helping to perpetuate democratic g o v e 1' n m e n t in America.

School isn't so bad after all. Why you don't even know how much you're going to miss the old place until they hand you your diploma. Not that I feel all choked up or anything, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted, and I'm sorta gonna miss it now that it's over. ' Your last year is all that it's cracked up to be with all those things characteristic of being a senior'-the senior farewell, play, annual, commencement exercises. Swell activities such as these are things for under-grads to look forward to. There is a serious side to being a senior, however. Contacts made in your last year of school are invaluable aids both socially and educationally, so wise up. Don't wait till the last two months to realize this, but start right in from the beginning and have fun. Here's the best of luck to you from all of us. Robert S. Totten.

JUNIORS READY TO BOARD SENIOR SHIP Three years ago the present Junior class entered Avonworth High School to become acquainted with life, love and the thrills of learning. lt Was not long until We felt as though we were Ben Avon, for these many long years Call three of themj clearly re- vealed our hidden talents. Our class seemed to fit into all activi- ties, and immediately we were recognized as THE class of this institution of higher learning. Our first appearance was made by several members of our class on the I937 gridiron, and again in sports when the basketball sea- son arrived. Besides these activities We turn- ed our attention toward the in- tellectual side of Avonworth, when We produced the youthful production of Growing Pains. A few of our dramatically inclined students of the class, then Sopho- mores, showed their abilities on fbe Reiwi I the stage in the mysterious per- formance, The Skull. We aided in Avonworth's social life, having sponsored une tres belle danse in our Freshman year, and une danse superbe in our Sophomore year. These were topped by une danse magnifiquem in this year's program. Outside of school we were just a part of the gang, for the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y were rep- resented by many members of this successful class of i4l. We invaded the glee clubs and a cappella choir, and at the same time we were eight strong in the orchestra. Talented members of ouriclass have entered state Forensic League contests. All and we were bers as well leaders who through our Avonworth. did the school credit, proud of these mem- as of our able class led us so gallantly educating years at l22l UNDERCLASSES GRASP EDUCATION SOPHOMORES Flash!

FRESHM EN As this year's Freshman class looks back over its Junior High record a lot of pleasant memories come to mind-particularly the fine representation in Junior High plays and more than one successful bake sale. As Freshmen, they really began the year with a bang when they sponsored the Pigskin Wiggle, a successful informal football dance. Although the class is large, the co- operation is super-super. Becky Matz, Carolyn Dill, Bill Rylander, and Johnny Evans were the officers for the year. Ben Harpster and Ruth Gibson are the two Ems- worth American Legion award winners who have added a great deal to the class as well as the Avonworth winners, Becky Matz and Johnny Evans. Big things are ahead for the class of '44.

SAGER fbe Relwa IRON MEN OF THE GRIDIRC l23l NEVILLE vs. AVONWORTH The boys might have won this game. if they had displayed their spirit and their ability to win as they did in some of the later games. The hot day was a thorn in their side. Avonworth had several chances to score, but the boys were handicapped by innumerable bad breaks. Neville's margin of victory came about when a blocked kick for the extra point catapulted through the uprights. Even though this was a heart breaker, with Neville winning 7 to 6, the game was well played. BELLEVUE vs. AVONWORTH Avonworth renewed its old rivalry with the Bellevue Bulldogs in the sec- ond game of its season. This was one of the slowest games of the year. Vvlith Lawry leading an attack, Bellevue had to play heads up ball to capture the win. It was a sluggish game with Bellevue's heavier team sweeping out a 12 to 0 victory. Even though we lost this game, most of the fans be- lieve that the Avonworth team gained some valuable lessons which served to a good advantage for the rest of the season.

AVALON vs. AVONWORTH AVONWORTH vs. EDGEWOOD The mighty Avonworth eleven came into its stride in this game trouncing Avalon's Little Panthers 24 to 0. The outstanding Avon- worth player was that brilliant quarterback, George Lawry. Aval- on, headed by their little left end, .loe Kelly. put up a harder fight than the score indicates. Avon- worth's running as Well as passing Avonworth surprised everybody by walloping Edgewood. 26 to O. The team threw caution to the winds as passes were hurled all over the field. Lawry was tossing them with Thompson, Carpenter, Moran and Condit on the receiving end. Avonworth was not quite at top form, but its running attack blos- somed out and completely smoth- ered a much weaker Edgewood elev- en. The game was fairly close the first half and our boys led by only six points. However, in the second half, Avonworth's deadly blocking weakened the opponent's defense and the boys crashed the goal line for three more touchdowns. attacks were clicking to perfection. Avalon, at times, just couldn't get started as our line, headed by Tot- ten and Grier, played havoc in their backfield all afternoon. l9ll-O OUR LEADERS Ross Condit Joe Heinz Wally Kappell Fred Bright Johnny Knapp Jimmy Evans GusJ' Jones Bill Lucas Earl Arnold Charlie Carpenter 6'Pistol,' Lawry Jim Moran Bob Totten Bud Grier Hugh Thompson Who- tripped me?--Sewickley Ball, ball, who's got the ball? -Neville Am I in your way?-Avalon fbe Relax! l30l THE FOCTBALL SEASON LEETSDALE vs. AVONWORTH One of the toughest teams on our schedule: Leetsdale, who already had 5 notches in its win-belt added the sixth notch when they defeated us 13 to 6. Leetsdale rarely used passes in its offense because of the value of its quick power plays. Charlie Carpenter and Walter Jones found Leetsdale rather rugged. Our lone touch- down occurred when Earl Arnold rushed the kickerg blocked the punt. Jim Moran picked it up and raced over the pay stripe. This was the first time this sea- son that Leetsdale's goal had been crossed! MILLVALE vs. AVONWORTH This was the most exciting game of the year. The final score was l9 to 14, chalking up Avon- worth's third win. The maroon and gray scored a touchdown in the last eight seconds, It was a triple lateral with George Lawry throwing a pass to Hugh Thomp- son. Remember it? Vwlho could forget? Charlie Carpenter made the pass possible when he blocked out six opposing players. In this game, Avonworth displayed plen- ty of fight and that old deter- mination to win, Sam Hook, of Millvale, was always in the thick of the battle. E311 ROBINSON vs, AVONWORTH This was one of Avonworth's most brilliant offensive games of the entire season. Unfortunately, very few students were present to give their loyal support. Not that they didn't wish to be there. Avonworth, getting off to a fast start, was readily tied by Robin- son. Then one of the longest sustained drives that Avonworth had made all season, put them back in the lead again. Lawry, Moran and Condit Ulugged the leather for a total of ninety-nine yards. Later in the game, George Lawry made a spectacular run of fifty-two yards for a touchdown. Avonworth came out on top by a score of 20 to 13. SEWICKLEY vs. AVONWORTH One of the most disappointing games of the entire season: Av- onworth held the mighty team scoreless for three periods, but in the fourth period Sewickley push- ed over for the lone touchdown of the game. Coach Sager's boys had several chances to score, but they were constantly handicapped by bad breaks. The boys gave all they had in this game but were unable to cross their oppon- ent's goal line. Avonworth's strong defensive play bogged Se- wickley's famous running plays almost the entire game.

Pulchritude plus IQ!!-O COACH CLIFFORD AULTMAN me Redwz R MEN OF THE HARDWO AVONWORTH vs. FACULTY: The Avonworth team opened its basket- ball season with a rather one-sided victory over the faculty. The team rolled up 24 points to the faculty's 22. McBride and Lawry paced the varsity with the Aultman-Sager-Johns com- bination doing their best for the faculty. AVONWORTH vs. NEVILLE: 1 In their second game the Avonworth team came out on the small end of a 29 to 34 score. Neville, out of our league this year, gave an excellent showing against the Avonworth squad. Gotleib led the victors in scoring, with George Lawry leading our squad. AVONWORTH vs. FACULTY: The second faculty game came out closer than the first one, with the varsity winning 36-33. The faculty defense, aided by their new recruit, Mr. Black, seemed to tighten up al- though it still couldn't withstand the power- ful attack of the varsity. AVONWORTH vs. OLIVER: Avonworth took its practice game from Oliver by a 45-36 score. With Lawry's 19 points and the team's total of 45, Avonworth began to look like a real scoring threat to its opponents in Section 10 for this year. AVONWORTH vs. PERRY: This was hardly a practice game for the Avonworth squad as they romped to a one- sided victory over Perry to the tune of 42 to 9. To the students it wasn't especially thrilling, l34l OOR HAVE BIG SEASON but it proved that our team really could score. AVONWORTH vs. NEVILLE: In this return game Neville Wasn't so fortunate as they had been in their previous game. This time Av- onworth finished on top with a score of 42 to 29. Lawry was really hot that night with 21 points. AVONWORTH vs. WEST VIEW: In their first league game the boys really looked good. With a substan- tial lead of 15 to 4 at the half, they finished with a victory 38 to ll. Schnurer, West View's publicized ace, was limited to 4 points all eve- ning. FIRST ROW - Pete Grubhs, Larry Hamilton, Bill Lytle. Jimmy Evan, George Lawry, Bob I-Ioman, Red Monahan, Lawrie McBride, Joe McMillan, Coach Clifford Aultman. SECOND ROW - Charlie Car- penter, Dick Demmler, Sam Wilson, Bud Grier, Bob Steiger- wald, Johnny Knapp, Bill Steig- crwald, Bill Ehersol, Frank Siri- anni, Edgar Delp. THIRD ROW - Frank Delanzo, Joe Hcckel, Johnny Powell, Johnny Rylander, Johnny Evans, Dick Crawford, Pete Gordon, Art Freehafer, Henry Carpenter, Wally Thompson, Ross Condit. AVONWORTH vs. AVALON: With Avonworth's ten point lead at the half, the game looked more or less cinched, but Avalon's Jim Hope dumped a long shot with 15 seconds to play that tied the game. Avon- worth then missed a tough one with three seconds to go: consequently, the game went over time. After a min- ute and a half, Avalon sank a hook shot to win the game 36 to 34. AVONWORTH vs. LEETSDALE: The Maroon team took another league game, this time a hard-fought battle from Leetsdale, 43-38. The game was close at the first quarter, but Avonworth pulled away to lead 23 to l5 at the half. Leetsdale tried a come-back, but our margin of vic- tory was a little too large to over- come. I3 'I9lI-O JOE M MILLAN LARRY HAMILTON P1s'roL,' LAWRY BILL LYTLE CUR LEADERS AVONWORTH vs. FACULTY: The varsity started off with a big lead of ten points at the first quarter. The faculty, however, came back to lead at the half and at the third quarter. ln a hectic, hard-fought, last quarter, the varsity came back into stride to take the game 44 to 36. GOING UP Ie Reba tfwi AVONWORTH vs. EDGEWOOD: A very slow starting game finally came out with Avonworth on top of a 31 to 24 score. There was very little scoring the first three quarters, the score at the third quarter being 19-15 Edgewood, but the last quar- ter showed some real action, Homan and Lawry starred for the locals, with McConnell doing a good job for Edgewood. AVONWORTH vs. BELLEVUE: One of the fastest moving games of the season finished with 'Avon- worth losing to Bellevue by a score of 52-40. With Bellevue's quick start and considerable height, Avon- worth had to work hard for its 40 points. Avonworth trailed only BOB HOMAN V LAURIE McBRIDE JIM EVANS PETE FRUBBS AGAINST THE BACKGROUND 4 points at the half, but they could- n't seem to hold the pace. AVONWORTH vs. SEWICKLEY: An easy game for Avonworth ended with the locals on top of Se- wickley to the tune of 45 to 26. Four of Sewickley's regulars were out of the game, perhaps accounting for the ease with which we toppled the Sewickley five, AVONWORTH vs. WEST VIEW: Another rather easy game saw the second-place Avonworth team take over the last-place West View Eve by a score of 44 to l8. Schnurer, XVest VieW's ace, was laid up for this game, making it even easier for our team to take over West View. McBride and Lawry led the locals in scoring. AVONWORTH vs. AVALON: The Avonworth team finally got their long-awaited revenge on Ava- lon by trouncing them 44 to 22. In the first game our team was nosed out by 2 points, but this one was a little different. The Whole team was working together very well, with Evans playing his best game of the season, CHALK UP ONF MORE I9lI-O BASKETBALL SEASON AVONWORTH vs. LEETSDALE: Since Leetsdale had only been beat- en once in seven years on their own floor, Avonworth scored a double vic- tory in trouncing them 37 to 16. Al- though the score was close at the first quarter, the home team kept a large margin of victory throughout the rest of the game. George Lawry passed his scoring record of the year with 22 points. AVONWORTH vs. EDGEWOOD: Still cherishing hopes for a league championship, the Avonworth team easily routed Edgewood by a score of 51 to 29. Although it looked like a two-man game, with lVlcCon'nell of Edgewood having 20 points and Lawry of the locals having 21, the rest of the Avonworth team played much better than that of Edgewood's. AVONWORTH vs. BELLEVUE: The league-leading Bellevue team didn't look so superior against an in- spired Avonworth squad, with the lat- ter Winning, 36 to 32. Although the score looked close, our boys had an edge over Bellevue the whole evening. Lawry had 22 points again in this game, with Holohan leading the Bellevue squad. AVONWORTH vs. SEWICKLEY: l Their last league game turned out to be a rather easy one for the Avon- worth squad as they easily outdistanced the Sewickley team 42 to 24. In his last league game George Lawry turned out with twenty points to lead the XV. P, I, A. L. scorers by a nice margin. Evans and Lytle also turned in good performances in routing the valley team. BELLEVUE vs. AVALON: It may seem peculiar to have this game in this annual, but it played an important part by pulling Bellevue down a game so that Avonworth was tie for first place. The game was a real thriller with Avalon coming out on top by one BIG point, 23 to 22. Bellevue's big rangy team couldn't seem to get started, so Avalon kept its early lead to come out on top. AVONWORTH vs. BELLEVUE: Avonworth lost its one big chance to take section ten for the first time in its history by losing a tough game to Bellevue 24 to 22. It was especially tough because we had led the Bellevue team until the last quarter. George Law- ry was held to only ll points while Holohan for Bellevue had 12. With Merker and Homan both out of the lineup, the Avonworth squad sadly lacked the reserve power which was Bellevue's main asset. Ie Helm l38l Seniors- Remember These Four Years?

Just imagine!-A club with lots of money! This year's Sports Club held that far-famed Sadie Hawkins Dance early in the fall and pulled in enough greenbacks to have refresh- ments on Friday afternoons during basketball practice. Large letters were distributed to deserving girls who had earned enough points and a bar was added for a certain num- ber of surplus points. Many active members turned out for these after- noon meetings, but we had to stop furnishing refreshments when the absent-minded girls started to make a beautiful shot with an apple and then took a bite out of the basket- ball! Sports Club is a well befitting name for this group because in the volley ball and basketball games with Avalon, the girls were real sports, Alice i'Slats Cratsley acted as captain and star player for most of the games. A lot of credit is due to Peggy Craig, the president. along with Patty Nettrour, vice- president: Anne Agnew, secretary, and Miss Andrews, the advisor, Pat Giovengo, treasurer, for an ac- tive and successful year.

ACTIVITIES FIND LEADERSHIP ' DE REBUS DICTATORS Pictures, pictures, and more PICTURES-7 The 1940 DeRebus is on the way! How many of the students have heard the annual staff mumbling about them this year? Nan Moyer directed operations as editor-but nothing could have been accomplished with- out the efforts of the staff. Dot Loomis, the advertising manager, covered herself with glory by selling over three hundred dollars worth of ads! Business manager Rudy Fors- berg pestered class and club treasurers all year for money and then got gray hairs balancing the books. Jean Kim was the sub- scription manager, and supervised our suc- cessful subscription campaign. Had it not been for the faithful secretaries, Myrtle Seitz and Jean Knox, nothing at all would have been accomplished. Again Mr. Henry Johns supervised the publication of the annual. 'The success of the DeRebus is en- tirely due to his loyal cooperation and super- vision. REG'LAR HI-Y TONIGHT The Thursday evening sessions of the Hi-Y Club offered good leadership and asso- ciation to the fellows during the 1939-40 sea- son. Within the club Lloyd McClelland, the president, led the group through a new and very successful series of meetings. For the first time in the history of our Hi-Y there was a member of the high school faculty as an advisor. Mr. Black, the very able chemis- try and geometry teacher, was felected to the positionl. During the course of the year he presented talks on his favorite sub- ject, science. A great deal of the load for- merly shouldered by Monty was removed by the presence of the advisor. Monty's main theme during the year was God In Me. He presented eleven of his inspirational talks along this subject. Faculty Night brought the witty remarks of Mr. Nolstad to the club. He talked In Defense of A and B . The Mother's Night program included a very splendid talk by one of the fine mothers of this town, Mrs. McBride. Following close to this dinner came the Father and Son Ban- quet. The Rev. Don Spencer of the Point Breeze Presbyterian Church, gave the ad- dress on What a Father Should Try To Do For His Son. The program included the remarkable slight of hand tricks by a magi- cian and a Bing Crosby talking picture. The year closed with a meeting at the North Park Lodge. Monty had a great dinner and there was dancing to recorded music. Aid- ing Lloyd in his work during the year were Pete Grubbs, vice-president, Bob Totten, sec- retary, and Rudy Forsberg, treasurer. RESERVED? The Girl Reserve organization of Avon- worth High School is certainly a very active one. There is a membership of approxi- mately one hundred girls who range in classes from the freshman to senior. Any girl in the high school may join, provided she can stand up under the initiation. After an impressive installation service, the only things she has to undergo are a lot of good times. These good times vary greatly in their nature, for they go from dances, din- ners, and speeches, to the grand and glorious week-end at Camp Carondowanna. Our din- ners are given for various occasions such as the Father-Daughter Dinner, Mother's Day Tea and the I-Ii-Y-Girl Reserve Dinner. Our most important event of the year is the Christmas dance held at Shannopin County Club. This year marked the fourth Annual Alumni Dinner Dance. The week-end at Camp Carondowanna is held the three days following the close of school. But, just as good times as this is available every other Tuesday evening throughout the year. This year we sincerely wish to thank Katherine Forsyth and Mrs. David Finley for their kind and helpful work in our Girl Reserve dinners and programs. With such able leaders and willing cooperation, it would be hard to fail. So the Girl Reserves go on, always striving to keep their motto- the development and advancement of body, mind, and spirit. lquo E451 ACTIVITIES FIND LEADERSHIP THE FOOTLIGHTERS If you've been wondering about those Drama Club announcements in assembly- here are the answers to your questions. Last fall some of the dramatically inclined Avon- worth-ites persuaded Mr. Hollenback to allow them to organize a Drama Club which would afford them an opportunity to dabble in creative dramatics. In addition, they hoped to arrange' excursions to the Nixon so that they could learn how it's really done. These pioneers of the theater promptly set about persuading Mr. Ray Maize to act GLEEFUL Do-re-mi, mi-re-do. We are learning as we go. So sings the Girls Glee Club every Monday and Thursday noon as sophomores, juniors, and seniors mingle in close har- mony under Miss Phinney's excellent direc- tion. Alumnae of this distinguished group join the A Cappella choir if they are lucky. This year the club sang for commencement as club sponsor, eventually he weakened. Nan Moyer and Jean Kim emerged as presi- dent and vice-president, respectively, after the first meeting. Pris Dodge volunteered to direct -a one-act play, t'The Nut Cure'r, ' then things really began to hum. Miss Myra Schweininger helped Pris direct. The play caused many laughs when it was presented in assembly. The club is signi- ficant of the growing interest in dramat- ics at Avonworth. GIRLS and played a very important part in that beautiful ceremony. Any girl with a strong, clear voice and the will to follow directions may enter the group. The Gee Club offers excelent experi- ence in choral work, as well as an apprecia- tion of Hne music, and the enjoyment of singing popular songs. MUSICAL MAIDENS 4 Miss Phinney's A Cappella Choir, com- posed of sophomore, junior, and senior girls, has just finished another season of fun Cmingled with hard workb. Practicing at noon on Tu.esdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, the girls have achieved surprising results with their music. In spite of the shortness of the practice periods and the fact that many of the members were newly ac-choired this fall, the group made a fine showing in A Cappella Choir and Boys' Glee Club gave a concert in the school auditorium. Need we say more? As a result of several weeks' concentration on the two contest numbers A Robin in the Lilac Bush !'and1 'SpanisIz Gardens, the Forensic Leagiiiei. contest found the girls better prepared. Though they took neither first nor second place, Miss Phinney declared herself satisfied with their performance. Here's to even greater the new robes.

ACTIVITIES FIND LEADERSHIP BACH-EROOS From Bach to Swing for was it Bach that was swing?J anyway, the orchestra has cov- ered a wide field of music this last year. For the high school plays there is always something light and gay, but for the orches- tra concert all whims and novelties have been put aside. Only the best of the orches- tra's repertoire has been chosen for the con- cert. These more difficult numbers have meant not only more work on the part of Mr. Henry Kelly, but the whole orchestra has had to pitch in and help, Perhaps the most noticeable part of this extra work has been the Tuesday evening rehearsals. These re- hearsals have shown great improvement in the orchestra's work because the two hours, from seven until nine, have not been wasted. Mr. Kelly is to be commended for his hard work and the personal interest that he takes in his orchestra. No task is too small if it will improve the sound or appearance of the group. Under the able direction of Mr. Kelly we are sure to have an orchestra of which we can feel proud. GIFT-OF-GABBERS Avonworth's dream of a county champion- ship debating team finally came true. Early in September Coach Harry C. Thomson rounded up his four old debaters. To- gether they began working on the year's question-f'Government Ownership of the Railroadsf' The team lined up exactly as it had the year before with Laurie McBride and Nan Moyer arguing on the affirmative and Bill Lytle and Bud Bezdek on the nega- tive. The team took Secttion III of Alle- gheny County with little difficulty-winning all debates. West View and McKeesport, having won their sections, debated the coun- ty finals along with Avonworth. Our team took the county championship by a 6-0 deci- sion. That left them in the running for the Southwestern Pennsylvania title which they won by defeating Waynesburg and Am- BRAIN The Student Council was organized this year to represent the student body in the activities of the school. The Constitution provides for representatives from all six classes of the high school and the junior high. Meetings are called regularly by the very capabe leader, Lloyd McClelland, who has carefully chosen his various committees throughout the year. The Football Banquet, which was such a great success, was the members' best attempt to show their con- structive work to the community. Many other things within the school have been presented by this organization which has been advised by two faculty members, Miss Mary Frances Baer and Mr. Ray Maize. Through a motion of the Student Council, the chapel periods have been placed in the bridge. In April they traveled to Harris- burg to enter the state finals. They pleased everyone by coming home with the silver cup awarded to them as state champions. Earlier in that same month they had taken a trip to Cleveland to enter the Western Reserve Radio Debate Tournament. They repeated their last year's success in the same tournament by winning again and thus gaining permanent possession of the silver loving cup. All of this success made the team eligible to enter the National Forensic League Debate Finals at Terre Haute, Ind. Such a debating season is more than any one had ever dreamed Avonworth would have. A great deal of the credit must go to the coach who trained the term for such honors. No wonder Coach 'Thomson is all smiles when he discusses this year's season! TRUSTERS hands of the student body. During these periods courtesy week, voca- tional week, speakers, and clubs such as the Pitt Glee Club have been included in the programs. Not only has this representative body backed educational programs within the school, but they have also provided for a chapter of the National Honor Society, and aided in advancing our debating team as far as possible in the National Forensic Contests. Therefore, the Student Council voted to raise money to send them to the contests. These are some of the outstanding projects which the Student Council has handled. This body has proven to be a great aid in filling in the gap which formerly prevented the under- siandings of some of the opinions between the faculty and the student body. I9lI- O ACTIVITIES FIND LEADERSHIP SERIOUS The troubles of the day were forgotten when the ucrazy Rimplegarsn swooped down upon Avonworth High and carried us through three fun-fested acts of Three Cornered Moon. Miss Gertrude Tonkonogy must have had this cast in mind when she wrote her play, because the actors truly lived their parts-off stage as well as on. Nancy Moyer, the dramatic heroine, and Al Kuhn, her frustrated lover, planned to commit sui- cide so often at rehearsal that after a few hectic practices they began seriously con- templating it. Bob Totten tried to impress us with his affected Harvard accent, and Doc Forsberg, who was supposed to be under- UD YOUTH'S As a result of the hard work and excellent direction of Miss Mary Frances Baer, an unusually large cast of thirty characters presented the Junior High Play of 1940 with hard-won success. The pl-ay, Youth Takes Over, by Betty Smith and Robert Finch, portrayed life at George Washington High School. All the activity centers around Albert Williams, played by Frank Bole. Sixteen years old and a live wire, he has acquired such an awe- some reputation that his teachers auto- matically blame everything on him. Swin- burne Jones CCharles Manningj, the school sissy, is a thorn in Albert's side. Dr. Pier- fbe Raimi I5 SENIORS nourished, would faint at the slightest provocation. Bob Johnson developed a pas- sion for loudly striped pajamas, and Anne Agnew, the Czechoslovakian maid, has been murdering Ray Maize's English ever since. Bill Houston, the guy wat gets the gal in the end, claimed he needed more practice for his elaborate kissing scenes, and Beverly Cohill, the Hdippy deb, was only too glad to offer her services. In the midst of all this, Jean Kim, bewildered by the strange antics of her dear children wandered daz- edly about, muttering to herself, Well, that's nice, a typcial description from an untypical play. FLING son CBill Cohilli, the new principal, tries his theory of redemption through responsi- bility on Albert. He appoints Albert presi- dent of the League for Young Citizens, which is sponsored by the formidable social- ite, Mrs. Rathbone fBetty Freehaferj. Albert organizes a carnival, and all goes well until Mrs. Rathbone begins losing money on con- cessions, of course, Albert gets the blame. When he is ordered to return the money, the entire evening's receipts are discovered to be missing. Matters are finally straightened out when it is found that Pop, the janitor iJack Ottersonj, deposited the money in the bank for the Young Citizens. 0l Nan Moyer, Al Kuhn, Bill Houston.

ACTIVITIES FIND LEADERSHIP FANFARE The first official year for the newly formed Avonworth High School Band was a marked success. Using more advanced musical nucleus a band of thirty-five mem- bers which developed rapidly under his capable direction and supervison. Through- out a porton of last year's term the band practiced marching as well as band music. The beginning of the fall season found the band ready to swing into action, which they wasted no time in doing. During football season it was necessary to practice every evening in order to perfect the maneuvers which were used at all the home games. Be- side being present at all home games, the band traveled to Sewickley, as a reward for the fine work they had done, and also played at special occasions around the borough. Resplendent in their crisp, clean maroon and white uniforms, the band created a striking appearance as it was put through its paces on the gridiron by Jean Kim, our talented drum majorette. Looking back over the for- midable record of the band, one can say nothing other than, Well done. ARE YOU READY? Much of the success of our basketball and football teams this past school year is the result of the loyal support of our vivacious cheerleaders. If we remember correctly, we have found them active and present at every football and basketball game. We all re- member Priscilla Dodge and Patty Nettrour from their leadership in the pep meetings the previous year. The new and profitable additions this year consisted of Carolyn Dill, Maxine McKimmie, Ann Stflnsbury, and Pat Giovengo. Through these girls' efforts and interest in their work, they have improved cheer-leading a hundred precent. The stu- dent body has been stimulated with school spirit as a result of watching them get right into the swing of things. They have made careful plans before each pep-meeting in order to have an original and clever assem- bly. Their motto seems to be Keep peppy yourself, and it will make others peppy with you. For the Avalon football game we found them right on their toes again, con- ducting a pep-meeting and bonfire on the eve of the great event. Through their per- sausivc efforts they have developed a sys- tem of pep-meetings in chapel during the basketball and football season. This is the first time that this has been carried out effectively. Rain, snow, or flood couldn't keep our cheer-leaders from attending a game. I9lI-O Ie CAMPUS PERSCNALITIES We Note In Passing These six seniors whose contributions to their school made them such outstanding personalities. DOT Amiable, likable, lovable Dot - things always run smoothly when she's around. Dot Loomis is a worker - and a Willing one. For example, the suc- cess of this DeRebus, is due to her super-salesman- ship personality which sold dozens of ads. In and out of the class room, Dot's pleasant disposition wins her a host of friends. JEAN Jean Kim has what it takes to be the all-round high school girl-beauty, charm and intelligence. Jean bends every effort to serve her school by demon- strating her abilities in and out of the classroom. As though this weren't enough for one girl, this little lady's pleasing per- sonality has made her one of the most popular girls in our class. DOC In the opinion of boys and girls alike, Bob Tot- ten's an all-around good fellow. Whether it's back- ing up the line in football, turning on a Harvard ac- cent for a play, leading the Senior class. or cracking an exam - Totten's your man! In addition to this, those subtle jokes cause more than one hilarious moment. PISTOL Every grade-school boy aspires to be a second George Lawry-and that's quite a goal to attain. George is tops in scho- lastic standing and athlet- ics. No wonder 'tPistol was honored with a quar- terback position on the W.P.I.A.L.'s football team and has the distinction of being W.P.I.A.L.'s leading scorer in high school bas- ketball. - And let's not forget that amiable per- sonality which makes him a friend of everyone. RUDY The Human Dynamo -- Forsberg-pep, pep, PEP -that's the secret of Rudy's success in variety of school activities. We can always be sure that Rudy will make our dances and parties lively - not forgetting that swell sense of humor that adds a cheerful note to many a school day. NAN There's no doubt that Nan Moyer has that cer- tain s0mething that every girl wants but few have, for she was selected by the student body on the basis of her ability, at- tractiveness, and person- ality to reign over them as Queen of May. What fur- ther proof is needed to show that Nan has devoted her 'time and effort to making a name for this school! l54l OUR ADVERTISERS Anderson's Clover Farm Market Avalon Bank .,,.,,,,.. .YRRRRRRvRRRR .
