It is the editors' desire that this book will serve to remind its readers of their high school days, that period of life so abruptly terminated at Commencement. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. Reber and Miss Forsman for their unfailing help and guidance in publishing this annual. Uglacwz-Ln High Sclmoofl CLASSES ACTIVITIES 2 SPORT UEUIEATIUN CS! .JO Miss Margery Lloyd, who is sincerely missed and who has always been so closely associated with the publication of the annual, we, the Class of 1939, affectionately dedicate this volume of the Shingas. wwxw - G. A. MCCORMICK, AB., IVI.Iid. Nluskingum College University of Pittsburgh Superintendent of Schools L.-. 7 PRUERESSIVE H.. Each and every class, according to the usual commence- ment orator, is graduated in the most critical period in American history. This trite expression does appear to be truer than usual this year as the world finds itself in a turbulent condition. The United States is apparently trying desperately to keep out of foreign entanglements but at the same time to retain her prestige among the nations of the world. The out- come is very problematicl The patriotic citizen is zealous to do all in his power to aid, in some measure large or small, the present situation. However, the problem appears so perplexing and so gigantic that it is very easy to give up hope of making a contribution. The usual mistake is made by overlooking some very simple fact which has greater importance and influence than is believed possible. The simple fact in the present world dilemma seems to be the upholding of the hands of democracy-the faith in and the practice of the principles upon which this nation was foundedg a sincere belief that America, with all her shortcomings, is still the best place on earth to live. May I suggest, members of the Class of 1939. that you carry into your future endeavors the same wholesome spirit that has marked your efforts as members of the B, H. S. This spirit exemplifies true American democracy and embodies those qualities essential to assure America her prestige among nations and her freedom from foreign alliances. Truly the American high school spirit is democracy in action. May success attend youl G. A. Mc:CoRMIcK ISABELLA KENAH Irving College Secretary to Superintendent EUUEATURS TO THE CLASS OF 1939 z I am very glad to have an opportunity to bring to you a message of appreciation and good wishes. Your attitude has made your four years in high school a happy experience, and it has made possible outstanding achievements. I hope you will continue to broaden your interests so that you may cover a wide field, If you make cultural, artistic, and physical progress, and if you rank high in all these lines of achievement, you will be more likely to succeed than if you are deficient in any of them. I am indebted to you for identifying yourself in a personal way with the interests of the school, with your fellow students, and in making the year of 1938-39 a year of achievement in the history of our school. It is our wish that each one of you may resolve to excel in something, to do work of a very high quality in some activity. Prove to yourself that you know what quality is and that you know how to achieve it. MARY MCKINLEY, LELIA MQDONALD Mrs. Pinkertons School Clerk MARY I. McKINLEY, Ph.

It would be impossible to do Paul justice in so short a space as this. First and foremost, he is our Class President. Paul has Filled this capacity, the greatest honor a class can be- stow on one person, ably and well. His accomplishments are unnumberedg cheerleading, de- bating, acting, music, and danc- ing are a few, and his grades are always Htopsu. With his personality, brains, and ability we know that Paul will go far: the class of '39 sincerely wishes him the very best of everything.

I, II, III, IV: Girls' Chorus I: Girls' Sports I, II, III, IV: Student Senate II, IV: National Honor Society IV: Paper Staff III: Shing- as Staff IV: French Club IV: Fo- rensic Contests I. Marg is a contradiction to the statement that 'ibrains and beau- ty don't mix. She is popular among her classmates and very popular with our class treasurer. We hope she will climb as high as required by her ambi- tion to become a stewardess. l16l ALBERT W.

The school will miss Al in more ways than one. In athle- tics it won't have that Fighting fullback it had as a two year letterman. It will miss the pound of his feet on the hard- wood as basketball takes the limelight. Beaver hopes you may glide along life's path as smoothly as you did on the dance floors. RICHARD R.

II, IV: Girls' Chorus I, II, IV: Mixed Chorus II, III, IV: Paamatics IV: Forensic Contests I, As a physics student Laura is a whiz: but could it be that she is getting a little coaching from the side lines, fa certain alumnusl?

RITA BAHM Girls Sports III, IV: Commercial Club I: Girls' Chorus I. The Class of '39 is lucky to have Rita for one of its mem- bers. Because of her pleasing personality, she has won many friends.

ROBERT EARL BLOOM Boys' Sports III: Band I, II, III, IV: Orchestra I, II: Mixed Chorus IV. Although we don't expect Bob to revolutionize the indus- trial or scientific fields or give Shakespeare or Longfellow any cause for alarm, we feel sure he will get along in the coming years: for he has a gift that is missing in some of our intellec- tual giants, and that is a knack of getting along with people and making friends wherever he goes. SERAPHINE ALICE BOYD G. A. A. I, III, IV: Girls' Chorus I, II, III: Girls' Sports III: COM- mercfal Club I. Seraphine, a Brighton Twp. lass, seems to have some great interest in Beaver Falls High School. Could it be the good- looking fellow that we see wait- ing out front for her almost every evening? There surely wouldn't be a romance brewing! We wonder7?? IOSEPH OWEN BROOKE Vocational Club IV: Basketball I: Boys' Sports III. Don't bother to flirt, girls. Gentleman Bud seems to be im- mune. For the benefit of the Yankees or Pirates, Bud is al- ready under contract as pitcher for the Beaver Iunior Grays. l18l RUTH OLIVE BERRY G. A. A.

I, II: Girls' Chorus I, II: Commercial Club I. Margaret is the quiet girl that comes from Vanport. She likes to visit the skating rink every Saturday night to roller-skate- or maybe there is another inter- est that holds her there. No matter what her interest may be, we wish her all the luck in the world. LOIS GENEVIE BOYD G. A. A. IV: Girls' Chorus III. Lois, who recently came from Midland, seems to be getting around. She seems to be very popular with a certain halfback, for we hear she has been teach- ing him how to dance. Could it be that there is romance in the air or is it the school dances? IACQUELINE P.

IACK EDWARD BROWN Vocational Club III, IV: Foot- ball I, II, III, IV: Basketball I: Boys' Sports III. lack, that popular Robert Taylor, is Vanport's gift to Beaver High girls.

FRANCIS BROZICK Football: Boys' Sports III. Funtz is another student who hails from the great me- tropolis of Bridgewater.

May you conquer other things as thoroughly as you have your books, Mary Louise. PHYLLIS E. CARNAHAN G. A. A. I: French Club IV. Eileen needs no introduction. She is a hard worker and al- ways ready to help those who need it. Her main interest is not in B. H. S., but in Freedom. She is the quiet type, but al- ways ready to have a good time.

Oh, my cow I This is the favorite expression of our Anna- belle Goola . She is one of the quiet members of the Senior class. That's why she came to school for a few days at eight o'clock in the morning. We wonder what Mr. Smith will do without her to bother him about Bookkeeping. JOSEPH LEO HAFFEY Leo is very quiet and bashful boy-in school. He is a fellow who works very hard on his dad's farm. He and the farm get along quite well together, and if this friendship continues Leo will become very success- ful. QSO will the farm.l FRED HAMILTON Fred is one of the few meek and bashful boys found in the Class of '39.

A loud splash and we were in high school, where the swift current caught us and swept us on our way. It was all new and confusing. Large logs, upper classmen, were ahead of us setting a fast pace. Thanks to our wise lumberjacks, the teachers, we were guided in the right channels for a good start. We gave a successful Frosh Dance and Chapel program, and made a good start in sports. ln our second year, other logs were behind us and there were fewer ahead. The current was stronger and on we went. More activities, the Football Dance being an outstanding success. And again we made a good showing in sports. Iunior year brought no slack water. Class rings were chosen, Easter eggs, and Christmas wreaths were sold in order to give the Prom . And outstand- ing in our rushing mass were: Paul Schaughency as President, Sarah Kathar- ine Wilson as Vice President, Margaret Hackett as Secretary and Dick Hopkins as Treasurer. Seniors, we are the lead logs. The current was now the strongest and tended to form log jams or to leave some of us stranded on the shore, dead wood: but thanks to Mrs, Cummins and Mr. Smith we were soon set straight. Activities such as the Fruit Cake Sale, Senior Dance, Iamboree, the Shingas, and the Senior Class Play have given all a chance to share our many respon- sibilities. Then Graduation, and like the logs that leave the mill to go to many parts of the earth, in many uses, we are separating, each to his own work-all solid timber.

S. is the reflection of the Class of '40. The teachers realized that the old saying appearances are deceiving is true, for we are the original hard working group. We have struggled for three years, and now only one short jump separates us from the lofty heights of the Senior class. Back in the dawn of time, about three years ago, we emerged from the eighth grade chrysalis stage into glory as high school students. After a year of enduring insults, we joined the ranks of the upperclassmen. In our Sopho- more year we held a party for the Freshmen, which was followed by a very successful Football Dance. This year, with the cooperation of the Beaver Theatre, we held an extremely profitable benefit show. The 1940 class rings, proof of our exalted position, confront one everywhere. We're looking forward to the 'lProm with unrestrained enthusiam. Our class is well represented in all activities. Some of our members fight for dear old B. H. S. on the gridiron and on the basketball floor, and we are especially well represented in the Band, Orchestra, and the Choruses. We're not boasting of our ability to do everything: we merely admit it. We'll brag next year when it will be our unhindered privilege to call ourselves the best class that ever entered Beaver High. All Senior classes do that. Why shouldn't we? JIM WILLIAlX1S, '40 l 34 l Scalp homone CQQAA ddtatonlj Upon entering Beaver High, our class was promptly given a good reception by the preceding class. It turned out to be an interesting as well as a helpful occasiong the Sophomores showed us how to start when the gun was shot. It was then that the class of '41 was well on its way to stardom. As we rounded the first turn, some pushed ahead into football-at the second turn others went into basketball and other sports. Around again at the starting line we were altogether just as we had started out-excepting that now we showed the Freshmen how to plant their right foot and then their left. Again certain members of the class shoved ahead in football, in basketball, in G. A. A., band, orchestra, choruses, and tennis. This year, we are to be represented in the Forensic League contests. Looking back at the first half of our high school life we can truly say that it has been a full and happy one. Next year We will embark upon the second half of that school life, and we are sure that these two quarters will be just as enjoyable to us as the first.

On the football team are these Frosh boys: Don Cooper, Charles Casbourne, Chesley Delans, Bill Emerich, Ralph Farrelly, Peter Bunish, Ray Stout, Gilbert Flocker, lim Kenehan, Howard Myers, Dan Souders, and Ed Starkweather. On the basketball team are these notables: Bill Emerich, lim Kenehan, Don Cooper, Ralph Farrelly, Ray Stout, Lowell Smith, and Dick Tomkins. The Sophs let up on the razzing long enough to have a party in our honor during September. During March we had another party sponsored by Miss McKinley and Mr. Paterick. We are eagerly looking forward to the next school term. Our one ambition is to do bigger and better things and to make the Class of '42 an outstanding one. SHIRLEY I-IAGE, '42 I 40 l 1 L k.

Romsizr HAAG, '39 I 45 l 1939 echo .Statt This year the school offered a new course of one-half credit to all those interested in newspaper work. The aims of the journalism class were: Qlj to train the members in some phases of newspaper work and 121 to publish a paper of which the student body could be proud. At first it was dubious as to whether or not the student body would be interested in this new course, but it has been proven that they really were interested in improving the school paper. The Echo Staff this year was composed of the members of the Iournalism Class together with several outside students, Because of the able supervision of Mr. Paterick, we feel that our year in this class has been worth-while, not only to us but to the student body. Because of the training we have been given in journalism, we have been able to publish a paper improved in every respect.

Beaver High School had its first May Day, May 16, 1938, on the school lawn. with Jean Patterson, chosen by the entire student body, reigning as queen. Her attendants were Bette Zarle, Armella Braun, Buenna Reed, and Betty Bradford. The court of remaining Seniors girls, dressed in formals of pastel shades, preceded the queen to her throne. Following the queen were the flower girl, Ianet Paterickg the crown bearer, Eddie Hackett, and the train bearers, Billy Heideger and Norwood Nelson. After the crowning of the queen by her maid-of-honor, Betty Bradford, which was the climax of the event, dances representing many foreign lands were presented by the girls of the different classes. Twelve Sophomore and Iunior girls gave a modernistic dance, Conflict, after which two fencing matches took place in which Marian Wilson, Peggy Anderson, and Lu lean Patton participated, Marian Wilson winning. The conclusion of this lovely program was the May Pole Dance, presented by the seventh and eighth grade girls. The accompaniment for these dances was supplied by Mrs. Iohn Knott Ambrose at the Hammond electric organ. Much credit is due Miss Carnelly for the careful planning of this program, and as it was very successful, we are looking forward to it again this year.

CAPTAIN LES HOLT, tackle, always played bang-up football. His strength and size proved of value several times when he blocked the punts of our opponents, IACK BROWN, although a broken wrist prevented his playing until the last few games, squared his bad luck during the Rochester game.

DON DAVIS, tackle, didn't play much, but when in action his services showed his true worth. AL FLOCKERS middle name is HTrouble, because in his four years in high school he had two broken ankles from football. May his future be brighter. AL KENEHAN was our hard-playing fully back. He could always be counted on to make that needed yard or two. He also did a fine job of backing up the line, DAVE LEAHY. Flashing legs and snakey hips perfectly describe this slippery end. He delighted in always leading the 100-yard dash. i'RED MARKS, center, was always ready to meet anything that might happen, even though his badly-crippled hand caused him a lot of trouble at times. His powerful defense saved many a large gain. FOOD FOR ALL On December 1, 1938, the squad was given its Annual Banquet, which is spon- sored by their mothers. Cal Hubbard, former Geneva star, was the guest speaker, and Mr. Gridley showed pictures of Beaver ln Action . Mr. Smith, who acted as toastmaster, kept the air afire with his humor. The Football Dance followed, and at nine-thirty the Grand March, in which the mothers and sons paraded in grand style, even though our Captain, Les Holt became slightly confused. 4 , if 1. qootbctltlt I .Squad RED IVIcQUIGG, end, although not on the 'rst string, showed his real value in the Rochester game. ANDY MORRIS, end, was a new prospect who moved into Beaver from East Palestine to ill a berth on our first team, Although our pass- ng attack didn't click this year. Andy was always ready to catch his share. PAT PATTERSON deserves his Share of honor because his place at tackle was ham- mered steadily all season, both offensively and defensively, but Pat never gave in. , HORACE WANNER is big and powerful, and once he is angry, his playing is hard to match. His position at guard was well filled. GORDON PARKINSGN, Senior manager, was chief cook and bottle washer in the cage twhere equipment is keptj. OTHER LETTERIVIEN RALPH IVIcLAI,IGHLIN, a husky Iunior tackle, was not fortunate enough to make the string, but while in action, he could fill his posi- tion very well. In practice his services caused the first team lots of trouble. WILLIAM STEELE, a little fellow, but full of dynamite, played guard with the ability of a veteran. He also earned his letter in his Soph year and will again hold his position next year. FRED KNOTT, although just a Soph, was able to fill the quarter-back position with em- phasis on his blocking ability. CHARLES ROIVIIGH was our backer-up underclassman, who loved to smash the oppon- ents for big losses, even though they cost him many bad injuries. SO-LONG, FELLOWS I, as a fellow footballer, wish you lots of luck in your future seasons. You don't fully realize what leaving the squad after four years will mean for several years. As spokesman for the squad, I wish to express my thanks to the student body for backing us so whole-heartedly, even during the bad weather, and also wish to express our hopes of better seasons in the future. 651 AL KENEHAN, Sports Editor. SLLYYLYYICLTZL3 of QCLYYIEA MIDLAND STACKS THE SCORE, 26-0 Through the craftiness and agility of Mid- land's backs, Beaver was faced by a 26-O score. Interceptions proved fatal to our eleven when Miccucci, of Midland, in the final quarter inter- cepted a pass on our 50-yard line and ran for a touchdown. Fullbacks Ordick and Miccucci scored all Midland's touchdowns. A surprise was received in the third period, when Horace Wanner snatched a fumble and galloped for a touchdown, but it was recalled by the officials. O ouR oNE AND oNLY-7-0 Although proving ourselves the superior in our contest with Avalon, the only score was made through our foe's mishap. After crowd- ing the foe to their own 10-yard stripe, where they were forced to kick, bad ball handling en- abled Fred Knott to recover the ball over the goal for the only score of the game. I CRIPPLED AND WEARY-33-o Supporting a good many injuries, a crippled Beaver squad invaded Coraopolis, Beaver, an already weakened team, was lashed to shame by a far superior Coraopolis eleven. Many more injuries were obtained during the contest. Fullback Miller starred with his crafty ball- toting for Coraopolis. 1939 I66l ZELIENOPLE WINS, 13-7 Injuries to our key backfield men helped the husky Zelienople eleven to overcome a weak- ened foe. Druchel, Zelienople's powerful full- back, proved to be a greatest threat. Our only score came on a long pass from Cascio to MCQ Quigg, who was in the end zone. O MONACA PROVED sTuRDY FoE, o-o After Monaca surprised fans by overcoming a supposedly more powerful foe in a previous game, Beaver was considered the underdog fon the first time in several years. The game was played in the shadows of the Beaver goal posts several times, but our line held successfully each time, Our chance came in the last period, but, due to a fumble, our scoring opportunity was lost. I OPENING MINUTES FATAL-12-7 In the opening period Freedom succeeded in penetrating our lines twice for scores, but oun lines tightened and Freedom's further threats were hopeless. Our chance came in the fourth period when Cascio intercepted a pass and wormed his way eighty yards for a touchdown However, we were unable to score again, BRIGHTON BOWS IN SHAME-9-7 An over-confident squad from New Brighton was shaken by the power and fight of the Bea- verites. Beaver was considered far inferior to Brighton, but when the teams met, Beaver proved that it was still able to hold its own ground. lack Brown nabbed a pass from Cas- cio, which placed Beaver on Brighton's 5-yard line. The next play was a reverse lateral, on which Charles scored, and a successful conver- sion followed. O BEAVER LASHED BADLY-26-0 Although humbling Brighton, Beaver found the classy Sewickley team too much to digest. LLast year the game was played to a close score. Seeking revenge for last year's defeat, our team fought gallantly, but the sleek foe's backfield tramped a path to our own goal several times. O MORE TEARS AND FROZEN FEET-6-2 Battling through a half foot of snow on Thanksgiving Day, our team, though beaten by the deciding score, fought like gallant soldiers through the intense cold. Although a blocked punt by Les Holt gave us a two-point edge for three quarters, Rochester was fortunate in scor- ing a touchdown in the last quarter through a blocked kick which went out on our own 20-yard line. From there they were able to drive it over. l67l 7939 Front row: A. Beelcen, S. Mclntyre, A. Kenehan, R. Patterson, M. Zentner, C. Cascio. Back row: E. lones, Manager: F. Knott, F. McQuigg, V. Moravec, H. Harris. .Batten man RALH PATTERSON was our captain-elect and played his post at center very well. His bigness helped defensively where we met large teams. CHARLES CASCIO, who has taken high scoring honors in our section for the past two years, came within three points of breaking the highest score ever registered. ALBERT KENEHAN, guard, and outstand- ing player during the season, has helped the team come through with many victories. MANUEL ZENTNER, although not show- ing rnuch service during previous year, gave much needed zip to our floor men this year. FRED NICQUIGG did not see much action but while on the floor was always good for his share of points made. ERIC IONES, senior manager, with the exception of the months he lived in Pittsburgh, has given up many hours of his time to manag- ing the basketball squad. ALFRED BEEKEN and STUART MclN- TYRE, although just Sophomores, have already earned two letters for their service. A1 is con- sidered a 'ideadeyen in basketball fone who is capable of making numerous long shotsl, while Stu is our fighter because of his constant zip and scrapping for the ball. VINCENT MORAVEC was another Soph- omore discovery. When his skill was discover- ed late in the season, his name soon frequented the score book. Clilaalfzetballll Clgtcmqiuet Cn February 22, 1939 the basketball squad was taken to Pittsburgh for their annual ban- quet. About seven in the evening they were given a feast at McCanns' where Manuel Zent- ner made progress in accomplishing a friend- ship with the hostess, thereby obtaining more buns. Upon leaving McCann's they had intended to inspect some of the main buildings in town, but found them to be closed because of Wash- ington's birthday. Late in the evening they were taken to a hockey game at Duquesne Gardens. The Pittsburgh Hornets were playing the Providence Reds, and after rough playing, Pittsburgh came out on top by an 8 to 2 score. The only casualty of the evening was the injuring of the Providence goalie when a Pittsburgh player attempted to deposit himself in the cage instead of the rubber puck. After a very enjoyable evening we returned to Beaver for some much needed sleep. P Front row: W. Coghlan, Mariagerg L. Koett, R, Arnold, I. Bradford, W, Emnierick. I. Cwrdenich, R.

Clilaaleatbafflf - Clfanaitg Review With a Varsity Squad of ten men Mr. lFischer proceeded to establish a season record bf which the school could be proud. The fel! ,lows were as follows: Captain Pat Patterson, Charles Cascio, A1 Beeken, Stu Mclntyre, Al Kenehan, Fred McQuigg, lVlani1el Zentner, Howard Harris, Vincent Moravec, and Fred Knott. l On December 8, 1938, we opened the sea- son with Avalon but were unable to make the hcore-board register in our favor. The game nded 45 to 30 in Avalon's favor. Then we invaded Leetsdale to be upset ance more by a score of L11 to 28 but having a return game this season we vowed to regain Jur lost honor. The Beaver Falls' Tigers in December Handed us our third defeat by a 29 to 15 score, nut the game was very fast and rough. Not having won a game this far along and seeking revenge for the defeat from the Leets- dale floormen, we took them by a score of 36 to 25. Grand hilarity was shown by many excited fans when the high school team met the Alumni squad. Stonk Funkhouser added the clown- ing while the other previous high schoolers matched their skill with the High School Floor- men. The game ended 23 to 20 in the Alumni's favor. We closed our pre-season games with Beaver Falls and lost by a 30 to 19 score. Having played all our non-league games with few victories, we hoped for better luck in the league. During our first month of practice we smoothed out some of the rough spots and through game experience learned to keep cool and maneuver more freely. 7959 Uilalxlez-:tballll - ,f.lntna-Cwlunall - aflnchenlg The following scores are our showing in the league games: Rochester 28 Beaver 21 Midland l8 Beaver 26 Mars 15 Beaver 32 Monaca 23 Beaver 20 Evans City 8 Beaver 26 Freedom 23 Beaver 25 Zelienople 19 Beaver 33 Second Half QLeague Gamesj Rochester 20 Beaver 29 Midland 21 Beaver 30 Mars 17 Beaver 31 Monaca 34 Beaver 32 Evans City 21 Beaver 35 Freedom 26 Beaver 44 Zelienople 19 Beaver 23 These statistics show credit for eleven victories and three defeats which is a record not to be matched by many a past season. We are proud of the team's work and can only hope that our teams in the future may match it or even better it. During the league many games drew very interested spectators. I shall tell you of a few. Both Rochester games proved excitement for the fans because of rivalry between the two schools. Near the end of the season when our chances of getting sectional championship came in view Monaca was host to our team for a very decisive game. The game was fast and close even to the extent of an extra period, but luck was against us and we lost by a 34 to 32 score. Freedom had us worried on their floor, but at home the victory was easy. 7939 On February 25, 1939, we played Ches- ter, West Virginia, and even though the score tilted in the opponent's favor several times, we came out on top by a 35 to 32 score. ,-,,....,..f,-,,-f RESERVE BASKETBALL This year the Reserves met with little suc- cess. Luck played a hoax with them by allow- ing them only the Iunior High victories. The following fellows were on the Iunior Varsity Squad fReservesl: Ira Bradford, Dan Smith, Dick Arnold, Russ Swank, Lee Koett, Bob Gib- son, Tom Drinkwater, Ralph Avery, Charles Eaton, Bob Hendrickson, Ioe Grdenich, and Bill Emerick. 4--1,-4 INTRA-MURAL SPORTS Mr. Fischer has limited his sports program. It consists of basketball and volley-ball, but for the most part, the gym classes are the only place of extensive sport outside of the varsity sports. ARCHERY This year for the first time Mr. Fischer with the aid of Mr. Hartwick introduced arch- ery into the school. Many were interested in this sport and flocked to learn more about it. Mr. Hartwick, who has worked for years with bows and arrows, has done his best to teach the members of the Archery Club all he knows. We hope in the future it will become one of the school's major sports. Qinlla' Although people do not take much interest in girls' sports, they are very important and have proved to be very successful this year. Much enjoyment has been derived from the various games in which the girls have taken interest. These games have been: BADMINTON This year a new sport, Badminton, was introduced to Beaver High School. To create a greater interest, tournaments were scheduled. The partners were selected from the gym classes. The first of the games were played in the classes, and the victorious teams fought o the finish after school. The winners were ary Louise Marshall and Virginia Wash- urn. Badminton caused much excitement this year and will rank high in favorite sports of next year. T voLLEY BALL Back again this year was the interesting game of Volley ball. This sport was conduct- d by the members of the Leaders' Club who elected their teams from members of the G. A. XA. The teams were named for colleges. Games were played on Tuesdays and Thurs- tlays after school. The final game was filled , 9 Sponta with excitement as Betty Payne led A'Tech to victory. The curtain then fell on the game of volley ball for 1938-39. BASKETBALL Basketball, the most popular sport, was again played with much enthusiasm this year. The teams, selected by the Leaders' Club from members of the G. A. A., and named for colleges, were then divided into two leagues. As the basketball season drew to a close, the league champions played the deciding game. Clara Pavlinich's team, Santa Clara, played Dorothy Emery's team, Southern California, in which Santa Clara won. Then came the All Star teams made up of selected groups from each class chosen by Miss Carnelly. The Iuniors won over the Seniors and the Sophomores over the Fresh- men. These winning teams played and Clara Pavlinich, captain of the Sophomores, once more led her team to victory with the score of 15 to 9. Sophomore Team-Captain C. Pavlinich, D. Townsend, V.

QYE OLDE DIXIE-MONTE., THE ANNUAL SENIOR BALL at THE MAKE f BELIEVE BALLROOM of the BEAVER PLAZA HOTEL Music by MAESTRO GORDY PARKINSON and his MAKES YOU WANTA DANCE RHYTHM As the Press taxi drives up in front of the Plaza, we see a shining limousine fTin Lizzyl belonging to Mr. Robert Haag, Beaver's prominent Democratic politician. He is escorting Miss lane Arnold, of the Park Avenue Arnolds. They pause before the entrance to greet shy Les Holt, the Plaza's most-up-and- coming doorman, We enter the lobby and see various celebrities with their elaborate gowns Qrummage sale yesterday lj and glittering jewels tMurphy's bestl. These celebrities include Ted Dunning, the ever-efficient beachcomber, and his better- half, Bettye Glaser. Here also we find Andy Morris, the All-American plumber boy, and that dazzling little bookkeeping ace, Eunice Pike. ln the elevator, controlled by bashful Iohnny Farrelly, we meet Beaver's most dependable ice man, Richard Robert Hopkins, Esq., and his fiancee, Miss Margaret Hackett, of the Riviera QCanal Streetj. Arriving in the main ballroom, we are received by Miss Lois Bernard, recently home from a tour of Niagara Falls, and that man about town, Bussie Schmunk. Ah, what an attractive couple at the table of honor l Who can they be '! They are our sponsors, Mrs. Cummins and Mr, Smith, still faithful as ever. As Music Maestro Parkinson raises his baton, the room is filled with sweet music, and couples waltz to his enchanting rhythm. The music changes tempo, and we have a specialty number from Gordy's Man Mountaineers, those four swingeroos, Bob Bloom, Al Hill, Bob Hage, and Bob Graham. They grace- fully stumble from their respective positions in the orchestra to attempt to play a duet ftwo on each instrumentl. I i791 Q39 A hilarious giggle is heard above the confusion. You might have known it to be that giggling deb, Mary Frances Greene. The head waiter, Bob Bruehl, rushes over to restore order. Arriving on the scene is that galloping desperado, Don Iuan McLaughlin, still searching for The Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish. Making his appearance as Master of Ceremonies, Iimmy Guzzle H20 announces that it's floor show time. Sit down, everyone, before you get knocked down. The show opens with HLes Blondes in a What Have We Here number, including Caroline Ball, Phyllis Cowan, Ruth Berry, Laura Anderson, Rose Smith, Dorothy Davis, and Dorothy Moravec. The applause was silent. As a relief from this tension, we have the famous Douds sisters, Dot and Alice, singing HWhy Doesn't Somebody Tell Me These Things? Changing the atmosphere of THINGS, we are taken to Ole Hawaii by Verna Gail Simpson, the world-renowned Hawaiian toe-dancer. ln her grass skirt she flutters along doing the 'AOogy Boogyn dance. Putt, Putt, Putt, Putt-Boom l fln case you wonder what this is, it's Carl Soisson's Chev.-DeLuxe.l Ah, ha, arriving late I Tut, Tut: was it his escort, Frances Whittingham? No, no, nop it was a flat tire. After the waiter, Paul Allebach, putts Carl and Frances to a table, we continue with the floor show. As the closing feature to our show, we present Harry Marks and his Floy Dov Girls, including Horace Wanner, Iack Iordon, Ralph Ziegler, and Ioe Kohlman. This number concludes this prelude to the Bigger and Better floor show to be staged at 12 o'clock. After this entertainment, we meander to ye ole recreation room. Low and behold! Here we find that smiling blonde heart-buster, Davy De Slug Leahy, swinging on ye ole play-room door. Davy's job is doorman, but when business is slack, he has to do something to employ his nimble thimble mind. Entering this room, we catch Betty 'ACornell Thompson rehearsing her A'Romeo and Iuliet lines to Casanova Charles C. Cascio. Near by, playing ping pong, are Eric Iones and Virginia Robinson, the great Science Researchers. Ooops l There goes the ball, sailing over Virginia's head and landing outside of ye ole door. Eric, rushing out to get the ball, is crashingly met by Alberta Cook and Leo Haffey. Davy gets them back on their feet. The game is resumed and we wander over to the miniature golf links. Yes, here she is- Peggy Anderson, the golf champ, telling Walter Brown that the idea is to hit the ball. Herb Anderson and Mary Alice Bayes are acting as caddies, and they are having quite a task keeping their eyes glued on the little white ball. l'Cigar Butts, Cigarette Ashes, and Hash Trays! is timidly heard near the ping pong table, lt's one of our cigarette girls, Iackie Bradley. The Plaza employs a number of girls to beckon the call for Phillip Morris. This worthy group also includes Irene Bevington, Marg Bixler, Virginia De Hass, Evey Forsvthe, Ruth Hartsuff, and Kathleen Reich. Also in the play room we find the Plaza's most dependable bachelors, Bob Scully, Lee Howard, and Ray- mond Ralston. They are bachelors, but we frequently detect them conversing with the pretty little cigarette girls. Raymond Ralston can always find an excuse to be around the checking room, where Elizabeth Ann Henry is the cute little hat check girl. It 449 l80l f'Will everyone please clear the dance floor? announces Iimmy Swallow Aqua. 'fMy friends, the first attraction of our second floorshow will be Dotte La Emery. She will favor us with her interpretation of Ferdinand the Bull . Her mellow voice Ahs the crowd: but, ah ha, here come the five villains doing their Beware, l'm A'Coming number. This offering includes A1 Flocker, Bob Flinner, Earl Snodgrass, Robert Firestone and Floyd Payne. And they sure did wget the crowd. Iimmy again makes himself known by announcing the biggest and best swing sextette in the land-Madame Betsy Ambrose La Doddle, and Her Dippy Doodlersg Rita Bahm, Snookie Morris, Elsie Baker, Mary Esther White, and Marg Oppelt. Their selections include MWho Are We To Say and MWhy Talk About lt? Next on our programme is the famed dancer de luxe, Miss Lu Lu Ieanee Pattone, who will toe dance for us. She will be accompanied on the flute by Ralphie Patterson. They are received with great enthuisiam. With the crash of a cymbal and roaring of drums Fred Hamilton presents his Yankee Doodle Band. Their number is MThe Band Played Out of Tune. ln the orchestra we discover that Freddy McQuigg can really swing and sway on the slush pump. Fred Schendel shows no mercy to the drum. Included also are Don Morgan, King of the lvories , MSlap That Bass Schiffer and lake Schoeppler who ties first place as 'iTops on the Trumpet. Mary Kaye steps forward to do the vocal honors. As our guest artist this evening we have the great star of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Miss Keath Mc- Mullen. Her selection, HAndan Lino, by E. H. Lemare, adds a more serious touch to our programme. We are very sorry, and we know you're not, but this floor show is dying a very sad death. As Gordy jives into HPower House the entire attendance swings into a jam session. The first waltzing couple to take their respective positions on the floor are Kinkie Rumbaugh and Harold Edwin. The prize for America's A Number One 'AShiners goes to those two country swingeroos, Maggie Urling and Hiram Carlon. The award for the bestest dancers goes to S. K. Wilson and Al Kenehan, our Dancing Sweethearts, and the prize for the Iitteryest Iitterbugs goes to Mary Ellen Peoples and losephine Penney. And while prizes are being given out, we must not neglect the door prize. Maestro Parkinson requests that Miss Schwartz remove the lucky number from the bowl. Yes, Yes, she fumbles, it's coming out folks. Hold your breath! Num- ber 131313 1-13 is the number. UWe got it screamed an excited couple. Ahl what a shame. Lois Boyde and William Shaner had number 131313 1-3. Too bad keeds! But here are the real winners-lean McCaw and Wallace Reed. What is the prize?? Well, paper, paper, paper, HURRAY, a box. More paper-We find two red lollipops. Wasn't that a letdown?? We ran out of prizes, enough for that. Now the time draws nigh when all the dancers must vacate the Plaza, so we cruise around to see who goes where after what. We drive to the High Hat Club, where Francis Brozick and Iack Brown are co-proprietors. Entering the spacious club, we note that everyone is having his share of fun, including the foursome, Mary Katherine Karns, Owen Brooks, Robert Morris, and Seraphine Boyd, who are noisely devouring hamburgers. lust coming to the Club are Donald E. Baker, Republican Iustice of the Supreme Court and Mary Dittman, of the Dittman Dottman Beauty Culture School. They rush to get the last 1811 1939 7939 table-what a crowd!! But we must move on to the Ye Lunch Shoppe on Tenth Avenue. We park our Dusenburg in front of the Shoppe and go on in. Well, Hfan my brow, some of our ole classmates are here as waitresses--Toni Lo Casco, Dolores Brooks, Mary Burick, Mary Lou Dillan, Betty jean Morgan and jean Funk, First of all we see Donald Davis dropping a Uslug in the slot and out comes f'Don't Bring Lu Lu, I'll Bring Her Myself. Eileen Carnahan and Clifford Corbett join the dancers-they haven't had enough of it yet. Oops, the dancing bug bit Margaret Cobner and Warren McConnell too. Ummmmm, we're getting sleepy, but this stuff must make the Shingas. With a notebook in one hand and a Keep Awake pill in the other, we hurry to the Silver Terrace. Marion Davidson checks our wraps and we are received by Betty Vernon, Hostess for the Terrace. She shows us to our table and directly across from our table are jack Meyer and Emma Heisley, busily chatting about the foreign policy. Looking around the beautiful ballroom we spy Stanley Ziance, Marjorie Warrick and Dorothy Zubaly, authorities on MHow To Get Caught Playing Hookey doing the Big Apple . But look, here come Roscoe Plowmaker, Mary Louise Lape and Anne Krall to show fem Mhow it's done . Now We've got everybody doin' it. Say, we have some lady killers here-they can handle two women at one time-we've gotta' hand it to them for such a mighty accom- plishment. Ah, on our way home at last! just one more block. Hum, this looks interesting ll Paul Schaughency still has his technique. We just spied him bidding Nellie Wright goodnight in the middle of the door-way with the lights on. Very typical of Paul! It's too bad several of our friends were not able to be with us tonight. Miss julia Tabay, registered nurse, was assisting Betty Greenhill, famous surgical doctor with an important operation on Marian Wilson, who was injured while taking part in a fencing tournament, Also absent tonight were Irene Hites and Flo Stone, famous artists who are studying in Paris. However, they promised to listen to our broadcast of this ball on Grace Muschweck's radio set, which is the first in the land to employ television. Miss Elsie Robison's presence was missed too. She is making her first solo flight from New York to Hawaii in a new Speed Plane designed by Thelma Meeder, who is accom- paning Miss Robison on this hop. Because of the great distance they would be required to travel, four more of our friends were unable to be with us tonight -Miss Annabelle Gulla, chief typist for the Mushweck, Redfern and Huff Detective Agency, owned by the same.

She had taken the darker side of the street, because she knew there were fewer mud puddles. lt was such a cold night, such a long walk, so lonely. As she hurried along she was conscious of a companion on the dark street. She walked faster. The compan- ion walked faster. She slowed up. The companion slowed up, A lull came in the wild and passionate wind. The leaves on the trees stirred only slightly'-and a few drops of rain fell on her face. She began to silently pray. She knew that her com- panion in the night was keeping pace with her and she was frankly worried. Easter and faster she walked, and faster and faster her companon walked. She started to run. So did her companion. Only a few more yards and she would be home. She ran up onto the porch. Her company ion followed. lust as she reached the porch a crash of thunder and lightening heralded a sudden burst of rain.

And there was also a Big Bad Teacher whom we will call Sebastian, because that was his name. Now Sebastian just loved to frighten little Freshmen out of their wits by Roar- ing at them. My, what a fine Roar he had! One time he had shrivelled a Freshman in 2 minutes flat and his proudest boast was that in the Freshman Frightening Con- test he had been clocked at 1 minute 45 seconds, but there was some suspicion that it had been fixed. However, there was no doubt that Sebastian was a very Compe- tent Freshman Frightener. Now Larry and Curly were very good little Freshmen and gave Sebastian no opportunity to catch them napping. But Moe-oh-he was very slow. He was al- ways almost getting caught Playing Hook- ey or almost Being Late or committing other offences against the Teacher's Dig- nity. So you see Moe walked a very thin hair's-breadth from a Session with Sebas- tian, One day Moe forgot his tablet and had to go to his locker for it. Sebastian didn't like this at all and began to rear up on his High Horse. Then Moe slipped. He didn't use every precaution in Passing a Note. And he was Caught. 'iAh , said everybody and trem- bled, 'the will have one of Sebastian's Sessions. But No. No? No! That day Sebastian caught a cold and when he came back to school he just kept an Eye on Moe. All this time Larry and Curly had been Good Little Freshmen and forged their Excuses when they Played Hookey and didn't Snore in Class. But Moe-he didn't observe the proper times when throwing Spitballs and his time came at last. One minute 42.5 seconds later he stag- gered from the Little Room in which Sebastian conducted his Sessions, The Freshmen all said ,'AHurrayl Sebas- 1959 tian has lowered his time, and they were very proud.
