S A VV. Blwrrrlf: Tzlpcrvisiizg Princillal Administrators ,-T ,,..,. T Pr-i11c'ipnl SCHOOL IS DUMB gg CI-IOOL is dumb, is the comment of pupils from time to time. They may be pupils who think and speak care- lessly or thoughtlesslyg they may be pupils who actually think that school is dumb. I prefer to believe that they are careless, thoughtless speakers because we can learn to speak accurately and thoughtfully. But the person who actually thinks that school is dumb is unfortunately handicapped. He is unfor- tunate for the same reasons that the blind and the deaf are unfortunate. For how can school be dumb when it is lilled with slides, maps, pictures, magazines, textbooks, and library books, each having a story of its own-some- times a prosaic story and sometimes an excit- ing story, but always a story of people? Perhaps these unfortunate pupils do not understand that all these things are speaking. Perhaps they do not understand why we have schools. Perhaps they do not know that it would be impossible- in the life of one indi- vidual to have all the experiences, good and bad, that men have been having for thousands of years. But these experiences become every pupil's experience within a few years because slides and pictures and maps and textbooks and library books are telling their stories. Seemingly, those people who say that school is dumb do not know that because of things learned in school they can almost begin their lives where their parents stop. Another complaint is School is a prison. Now, prison is a place for men and Women who won't play the game fairly-people who do not appreciate personal freedom and who encroach on the personal property rights of others. These people are housed together in prisons where they spend their lives doing time. But how can a red-blooded boy or girl feel that school is doing time? Part of school is learning about what has happened to other people. Another part is playing basketball, football, hockey, mushball, and dancing-all activities to develop healthy bodies and to give enjoyment at the same time. Still another part of school time is putting on plays, playing in the orchestra, singing in the glee club, and go- ing to the junior prom. None of these things is characteristic of prison. They are things that red-blooded high school boys and girls like to do, want to do, and which incidentally teach them how to live with each other and how to help each other. No, school isn't dumb, except for those unfor- tunates who can't see and Who can't hear. And it is not a prison, except for those who stand on the side lines instead of playing the game. ' VV. VV. HoLL1sNBxcK Faculty E have no manners and we play no favorites when we tell you who's who. First there, First served, so we'll begin with those fortunate early birds who got the chairs. Beginning at the left and going around the table and then working back toward the left you see the kind ol? faculty we'll have in heaven Qizt we have to have faculties there.j Seated at the extreme left is M R. john M. VVA'r'rs, instructor in English and a swell director of plays. Next is Miss MARY Moonii, junior-high English teacher and a grand one. The next two are usually found together: Miss N1X'l':XL'lli l'lAGAN, girls' gym teacher and junior high civics and history teacher, and Miss hlARIAN iEVAR'I'S, qui nous ap- prend parler francais tres bien. Missing at this point is Miss KM:-1laRiNii Nu-:i.soN, Latin teacher, maxima cum laude. Our next recommeudation lor our ethereal faculty is Miss hl'ARY ELIZABETH il'lCC1.lEl.I.AND, who brightens up geography and general science to make them two of the most interesting courses in the school. Sharing the book with. Miss McClelland is MRs. D. El.izA1112TH .lTll'I.L, our willing and helplul librarian. The next two may be looking at a comic strip from the smiles on their zlacesg they are hill. CLIFFORIJ J. AULTMAN, basketball coach and junior-high math teacher, and MR. PAUL C. SAGER, football coach and boys' gym teacher. Standing between Mrs. ,Hill and Mr. Aultman is MR. A. R. N0I.s'rAD, about the best math teacher in these-here parts. The gentleman with the lar- away look in his eyes is probably thinking ot his brain-child, the senior Senateg he is MR. FRANK L. Jh lASON, of the history department. 'lfo Mr. Mason's right is one of our prides and 'joysg he is MR. WV. lil, I-IULLENBACK, high school principal and chemistry and physics teacher. At this time the Missing Persons' Bureau would like to report the conspicuous absence of two of our best teachers: Miss A'lAltIAN Lizwis, our talented art teacher, and Miss CARRIE B. P1-UNNHY, well-liked leader of glee clubs, choir, and assembly singing. To go back to our picture, we hnd another member of the music departmenitg this one is a newcomer, MR. Io!-IN ilVliCCAR'I'FlEY, who has done such a grand job with the orchestra. Chiseling in on Miss I-lagan's and Miss Evart's book is DR. ALFRED VV. l3izA'1 r1la, supervising principal, who is not only at the top', of the faculty but also tops with the students. Last but not least is MR. HENRY D. joHNs of the commercial department, every'body's pal and too modest to take the praise he deserves -for his encouragement and help. 10 CLASSES Y Senior Class Cfficers ,vnu T384 v 3, 45 1' Cl1ce1'lc':'ldfex' 1, 2, 3, 4, 1'Jx'zuu:11'icfs 3, 41 Ilzmkeflmll 1, 2, -lg Vol- leyball .l, 2, 3. -lg Mushlmll 1, 2, 3: Spurls Club 2, 3, 4-.

T oe dancer CLASS I-IISTCBY ORE than four thousands years ago the Egyptians reared a new civiliza- tion on the banks of the life-giving Nile. These ancient pioneers wor- shipped the sun with its light and warmth, symbolized by Horus, god of the rising sun, and the sun-god Ra and left as even today rival our architectural attainments. Vtfe, the class ot 1937 A.D., are firm believers of the theory that history repeats itself. We do not claim to have a new cradle of civilization on the shores of Dickson Avenue, but we, too, worship light and are nearing the completion of a pyramid which shall be an obelisk to our memory. After twelve years of darkness we have resurrected the school annual, an unfailing source of light on the year 1936-37 at Ben Avon High School. Ours is a pyramid of forty-live stones, polished, although somewhat impervious at times, by four years of high school experience, the tomb of some 17,000 hours during which we have been exposed to education. On September 5, 1933 some iifty students resumed studies at Ben Avon High School and became the freshman class. That was a rather eventful day. our lirst day as senior high school pupils. VVe met for the first time some lifteen new classmates from Emsworth. Wfe also entered upon a new course of sub- jects. Each of us sat in a cold sweat during that lirst Latin class, overawed by Miss Bowlin's stern mien and impressive reputation. tl-Ter reputation sulicererl none that yearg for Room E seemed to be a congregating place for freshmen at numerous ten-of-eight and after-school sessionsj English under Mrs. Hill, general science under Miss McClelland, algebra under Mr. Nolstad, a new in- structor, and a course in vocations under Pop Mason rounded out our stand- ard schedule. Mr. Mason had acquired this moniker when report-room teacher to the boys of the class two years before. At the first class meeting Dwight Merker became Ramses I g Marjorie Todd was elected vice-presidentg Roberts Karn. treasurerg and Don Reniers, secretary. Two members, Bennett and Duff, represented the class on a football squad dominated by seniors. Duke Black was our representative on the basketball squad, While some of the other boys played on a rather punk junior high team. Our only social event, the class party, 18 took place on March 15 with music by Bake Evans'-orchestra. Spring passed quickly, and we soon packed away our books for a well-earned vacation. It was a more experienced group which reluctantly buckled down on Sep- tember 4, 1934, sophomores in the full meaning of the word. foolish enough to believe ourselves wise because we were no longer the babies of the senior high school, XIVC found that two of our classmates, Hope Snyder and jack Sorg, had 'left our ranks. Although we were, for the most part, continuing studies of the preceding year, Mr. Thompson was our English teacher for the first time, and some of us had Miss Hynadman, a new French instructor. At our first class meeting Marjorie Todd became president, Marjorie Munroe, vice-president, Marian Symons, secretary, and Mary Margaret McMillan, treasurer. We were again represented on the football squads. Bennett, Bracken, Smith, a new class member, and Duff played football, Duke ' Black upheld our laurels for the second year on Coach Barkdoll's basketball team. The sophomore girls also tool-: part in athletics. Charlotte Black, Florence Dodge, Rita Lucas, Betty Phillips, Mary Louise Robinson, .Reba Thompson, Marjorie Todd, and Anna Lou Wfeckes- ser had earned enough points in athletic competition to enter the Ben Avon Sports Club, the girls' intramural program. VVe held the Sophomore Hop for the high school on November 16 after the last football game, a 15-S surprise victory over Sewickley. VVhen we returned from Christmas vacation, Mr. VVatts had become linglish teacher. The days melted away to the balmy air of Spring, and we began to count the number left until june 12, when we demobilized after a strenuous campaign. The doors of Ben Avon High School yawned once more on September 3, 1935. After three months of rest our class returned with ranks somewhat de- pleted. Dorothy Gass left school toibe married, Don Reniers moved to Cali- fornia, and Dorothy McCready, Harry Pflugh, Patty Rahm, Marian Symons, the Brackens, and Margaret Wfolfram were missing. The teaching staff was also changed. Mr. Sager was the new football coach and gym instructor, Mr. John headed the newly formed commercial department and helped coach foot- ball, Mr. Aultman became head basketball coach and helped with football. At hrst class meeting the following oflicers were elected for the Junior year: Paul Smith, president, Duke Black, vice-president, Eveline Mowry, secretary, and Mary Margaret McMillan, treasurer. Bennett, Smith, and Duff were lettermen 4 19 on the football squad, Black was varsity basketball center on a team which took second place in Section H of the VV.P.I.A.L. During football and basketball season the girls of the class were busy selling refreshments at the games to raise money for the Prom. They also sponsored several bake sales. The various Prom committees worked earnestly during the lirst part of the second semester making decorations and other arrangements. The new ceiling for dances was an important contribution of the Decorations Committee. The long-heralded event was scheduled for March ZO, but that would have resulted in a rather dismal dance, for the exigencies of the historic St. Patrick's Day flood advanced the date to March 27. In the meantime we all enjoyed a four day vacation. On the 27th the gym, disguised as a Spanish Patio, swayed to the rhythm of Brad Hunt, and we had fulfilled our big obligation as the Junior Class. Several class members appeared in Big Hearted Herbert the high school play coached by Mr. VVatts. Marjorie Todd took the feminine lead as Herbert Kalness' wife, Marjorie'Mun- roe- was their daughter, Alice, and Eveline Mowry played Mrs. Havens. june 9 arrived quickly, and we disbanded for the summer. September 1, 1936 was a very significant day, the seniors started the last lap, and the sun-worshippers were about to fulfill their mission. New teachers for the year included Miss Evarts in French, Miss Neilson in Latin, and Miss Hagan as girls' gym teacher. We entrusted the class offices to Bob Karn, presi- dent 5 Marjorie Todd, vice-presidentg Mary Louise Robinson, secretary, and Dwight Merker, treasurer. At one of our first meetings the class decided to revive the school annual. Rita Lucas was elected editor, and Letitia Hamilton business manager. Bennett, Karn, Meyers, Purcell, Smith and DuH were on Coach Sager's football squad. Co-captain Black, Purcell, Luttrell, Merker, Smith, and Duff participated in basketball during the league season, while jim Bennett managed the team. Several projects were started to earn money for the annual. The varsity played three exciting benefit games with the Faculty team. In each case the oldsters showed their championship form by eking out slim victories. The seniors also revived tea dances to raise our contribution to the annual. The proceeds from the senior play, on Deci ll were also used. It was a comedy in three acts entitled Widow By Proxy. Marjorie Todd, Eveline Mowry, Flor- ence Dodge, Mary Pfordt, Reba Thompson, Paul Smith, Stanley Moore, Peter Pfahl, and Homer Hoffman gave a very commendable performance under the 20 tutelage of Mr. VVatts. WVe are rapidly re-aching the denouement. Rita Lucas and her small group of faithful co-workers whipped the annual into fine shape, Gther class meinbers will be found in the library passing over magazines. You will hear them giving the speech in the Senate of Mr. Mason's P.O.D. class next day. On June 4th the worshippers of Ra will graduate and, While we recognize that We have not established a Land of the Midnight Sun, we are hopeful that our planet has not reached its autumnal equinox. 21 CLASS PROPHECY HE time is january 21, 1947, the scene, the fashionable New York pent- house of Mrs. Mary Pfordt Van Tweezer, wife of a millionaire nut and bolt magistrate. Mrs. Van Tweezer has invited the members of the gradu- ating Class of 1937 to her home for a reunion. I received an invitation as press reporter of the De Rebus . Our hostess informed me that all forty-five members of the class were present except Dwight Merker, foreign ambassador to France, who was detained abroad, and john Moreth, a prosperous farmer, who was snowed in on his farm in Kilbuck Township. As I entered the spacious living room, I noticed a crowd gathered in a far corner. Margaret Luttrell and Babe Lenzner were giving an exhibition of new dance steps. In another corner Levi Bird Duff III and Jim Bennett were dis- cussing plans for a transatlantic tunnel Qbusiness before pleasurej, while Alex- ander Hamilton autographed copies of his latest book A Modern Political History of the WVorld . Bill Houston, the latest Hmatinee idol , passed out auto- graphed picture-s to all the girls. I have seldom seen so many beautiful and well-dressed young women in one evening. In particular I noticed Florence Dodge, owner of the Smart Dre-ss Shop , and Katherine Shaw, a famous novelist. Also, looking especially lovely were Mary Lytle, French teacher at Grove City College, Mary Margaret McMil- lan, grade school teacher in Ben Avon, and Reba Thompson and Mary Louise Robinson, who are teaching physical education. In a far corner sat Stan Moore staring at a magazine. Imagine my surprise when I looked over his shoulder and saw Letitia Hamilton's picture being used to advertise Irresistible Lipstick. Another page featured a picture of Sammy Luttrell advertising Wlieaties. I asked Stan what had happened to some of the other members of the Class of 'K '37 . Oh, most of them are here tonight, he replied. In that bedroom sleeping is Curtis Pieper, mattress tester for the ,Tones Mattress Company. Pieper isn't a union man, so he s still on the job. 'Duke' Black has advanced to business manager of Otto's. Bud Palm is a basketball coach. And you'll see some of Pete Pfahl's latest creations in the flower bowl. XfVarner Brothers has just signed Bill Purcell, Paul Smith, and Marge Munroe, as the eternal triangle in a movie entitled Their Many Loves. Irving Moss is as pressing as everg he owns a tailor shop in Avalon. 22 Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by several loud shrieks, and Anna Lou Weclcesser and Lucille Simons dashed past followed by Bob Siegel, who was up to his old tricks of taking pictures of all the pretty girls. VVhat a collection! . Bruce Vlfackenhut gave the ladies a treat when he came out of his seclusion up in the Maine woods where he's practicing forestry. Everyone was surprised to see Roberts Kam later in the evening. I-Ie's taking life easy up in Vermont these days. On hearing a terrible commotion, I walked out on the roof garden. There was I-Iomer I-loffman practicing up on his, oration The Needed Reform in Modern Youth of America , which he was to deliver before the Ben Avon VVoman's Club next week. On the opposite side of the roof garden was Martha Louise Jeffries rehearsing for he-r future engagement as violin soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony. She was playing Fantasie Brillante on the March and Romance from 'Othello' , by Rossini. The only one's listening, however, were Charlotte .Black and her fiance, the world's champion tennis player. As I returned to the living room again, I noticed that a group had collected around Duane Meyers. VVith his continuous gab he was trying to sell Fuller brushes and guaranteed furniture polish to some of the- industrious housewives, among whom were the former Betty Phillips, Florence Sirianni, and Esther Fichter. It was very apparent that most of the members of the Class of 1937 had been very successful: Especially Eveline Mowry, dean of a New England school for girls, June Hollenback, who is doing research work at the Mellon Instituteg Betty Root, an interior decorator in New York Cityg and Rita Lucas, famous aviatrix, who will soon attempt a non-stop Hight around the world. Later in the evening Mrs. Van Tweezer served a very lovely lunch, and Marjory Todd, who has just returned from a concert tour abroad, played several of her beautiful compositions for us. All the class members agreed that they had greatly enjoyed the evening and hoped to make the reunion a yearly affair. 23 CLASS WILL E, the Senior Class of Ben Avon High School, 1937, being in our right minds and fully conscious of existing conditions, do hereby declare this document to be our last will and testament.

This class started that year off with a bang under the helping hand of its president, Fred Evans. It wasn't until 1934, however, that the school began to realize how important this class really was. Football season started with Charles Hilf, class president, Fred Evans, George Boyd, Lindsay Vlfolfe, Bob McBride, Harold Xvatson, and Arthur Burki on the squad. The girls didn't do so badly either, for Donna Doerr and Betty Hazeltine came into Girls' Sports Club that year. As we look back, we recall that a group of that class, in Mr. Mason's report room gave a March of T-imc. Those live adorable quintuplets, Bill Webbe1', Steele Sellers, Lindsay l1Volfe, Heber Harper, and David Smith, became the whole school's darlings. In fact, some of the quints took quite a liking to their nurses and are still under their care. During their Sophomore year the members of this class burst into all school activities. Peggy Forsberg- became Secretary of Girl Reserves, while Girls' Sports Club membership increased with the addition of Mary Arnold, Peggy Forsberg, Betty Jane- Robertson, 'Virginia Lewis, and Har- riet Conley. Alvin Thomas and Lindsay Wfolfe earned basketball letters, and Charles Hilt, Dick Batchelor, and Lindsay VV'olfe received them for football. VVhen the curtain of the High School play Big-Hcczrtcd Hcrbe1't rose, the audience saw Lindsay Vlfolfe, Tom Bright, Mary Arnold, and Paul Heisey in the cast, with Peggy Forsberg backstage as promptress. By the end of their Sophomore year Donna Doerr, Betty Hazeltine, and Mary Arnold received Sports Club Letters. These letters were for participation in all sports. That was the year Peggy liorsberg was president of the class. The beginning of 1936, Junior year, found, among Hi-Y officers, Tom Bright, as Treasurer, Lindsay Wolfe, as Vice President, and Paul 1-leisey and Louis Grier as Councilmen. The Girl Re- serve cabinet is pretty well filled with Juniors. Virginia Lewis, Peggy Forsberg, Donna Doerr, Mary Arnold, and Betty Jane Dill, all are coming to cabinet meetings. Lindsay Wfolfe, class president, predicted some new Prom decorations this year, so out came crepe-paper. During their Junior year Betty Phillips and Joanne Schott entered Sports Club. In June 1938, Mr. Beattie will wave good- bye to this class, a little sadly and proudly, as he sees its members marching out into the gre-at, wide beautiful world to make their respective ways. Don't be surprised if you see, while browsing through l'Vlw's lfVh0, some of the names of the members of this class. Vlfe Have Hopes!! 27 Sophomores President .... Vice President Secretary ....

Five girls, several of whom were from Emsworth, joined their voices to the singing of the Girl's Glee Club. Hi-Y was improved by eight of our co-mates at the be- ginning of their Freshman year, and twenty-four girls likewise suffered the humiliating initiation necessary to enter the Girl Reserves. Of the nine boys who entered their lirst football season as members of the squad, three emerged with letters. Ann Hamilton had the honor of being our president during our hrst year and was ably assisted by the vice president, secretary, and treasurer who were Ted johnson, Douglas Hallett, and jim Demmler respectively. The number of the class was increased by sixteen new members from Emsworth, one from Osborne, and another from Shaler. At the beginning of the sophomore year -lim Demmler was elected president along with David McHenry as vice president. Ted johnson as treasurer, and Ann lFlamilton as secretary. On November 6, due to the excellent work of the committees under Dorothy Harnish, Betty Buckman, and Chal Houston, the Hop was a great success, with Ted VVarren's eight piece orchestra furnishing the music. The number of letter men in our class has been increased this year to five, all in football. There were only two boys who held positions on the basketball squad, while the number of the football squad dropped to eight, as a promising young player, Rudy Rollins, moved out of town. Five athletically minded girls piled up enough points to be admitted into the Sports Club. Another of our classmates joined the orchestra, while the two Glee.Clubs added twenty-three Sophomores to their rosters. So far the Hi-Y Club has had no more new re- cruits, but three more girls joined the Girl Reserves in October. The Sophomore girl's basketball team looked promising when it took over the seniors. However, it hit a snag in the form of a junior team that removed all hope of our being school champions. Witli its members active in all of the school organizations, the Class of '39 promises to assume a major role in the future of Ben Avon High School. 29 Freshmen President . Vice President . . .

Outplayed by a superior and more experienced team, the Ben Avon players ganiely fought to come back to the win- ning column but finished on the long end of a 19-O score. Willciiis starred for the victors. ' IMPERIAL versus BEN AVON Seemingly leaving hope in Ben Avon's rooters' minds, the BAI-IS team ran rough-shod over Findley Township by a 19-0 score. Two touchdowns in the first half and a blocked kick gave Ben Avon her first decisive victory in two years. Skinner played well for Imperial, and Rickard did his duties well at guard for Ben Avon. AVALON versus BBN AVON The big game of the season was just another disappointment to Ben Avon followers as Avalon, after being outplayed the first quarter, came back to turn the tide and win 19f0. Led on by Houston, Ben Avon time and time again repelled their heavier opponents but finally had to give in to a stronger team. Great credit due to Purcell for his fine pass receiving. 36 ZELIENOPLE versus BEN AVON The last game of a series between Zelienople and Ben Avon came to an abrupt end with Zelienople triumphing over a smaller Ben Avon team 28-O. Efforts of Lawry and Karn seemed to no avail as Ben Avon was entirely on the defensive, namely trying to stop john Schiedmantle's broken field running. Let's hope Ben Avon and Zelienople meet again as our relations have been nothing but the best. LEETSDALE versus BEN AVON Uncorking a Hashy passing attack, Leetsdale defeated Ben Avon 16-2. The score indicates the close tight on the Ben Avon held. Krane led Leetsdale while Dulf, Long, and Kaufman played well for Ben Avon. FREEDOM versus BEN AVON Except for a disastrous fourth period, Ben Avon continually outplayed Freedom High. Scoring in the second quarter, Freedom held their lead and increased it with a bombardment of passes in the late minutes of the game. An intercepted pass by Lindsay Wolfe for a touchdown which might have won the game was nullihed and Ben Avon's hopes for a second victory faded with the whistle ending the game. The score was 27-0. MILLVALE versus BEN AVON Millvale and Ben Avon played a close hard-fought game at Millvale, but once again Ben Avon saw the winning column drop from reach. Ben Av0n'S Walnut Road combination went to work as Wolfe tossed a pass to Webber for Ben Avon's only score. lhfebber played a bang-up game at end for Ben Avon. The final score was Z6-6. SHALER versus BEN AVON After getting off to a good start, Ben Avon Hnally gave in to Shaler High School and once again found a big O on the score board. A few bad breaks, combined with a long pass gave Shaler the victory, 12-O. It was an evenly fought game. Fine work, Evans! - SENVICKLEY versus BEN AVON Miimesota versus Swarthmore and the outcome is apparent. Sewick1ey's steam roller bumped over Ben Avon 27-O in an interesting game. Outweighed by nearly SO pounds to a man, Ben Avon .players fought bravely, but only 5ewickley's man power downed the game Ben Avon team. Thus Ben Avon's season ended with Captain Duff and Smith doing wonders in their last game. 37 I l Senior Athletics BIRD DUFF-Captain-tackle-three year letternian-consistent and willing- great scholastic ability-often called Levi -played hard and was always there when needed.

' 38 Cheer Leaders VVe love no other, So let our motto hc, Vic-to-ry, Ben Avon, Var-si-ty. Thus echoed the lien Avon Alma Mater as another pep meeting ended. And those seven cheerleaders really knew how to put it over. Not only did they present a lovely sight on the school stage and football held, clad in their white skirts and sweaters with big, maroon Bs',,but they really got out the cheers, even when things looked pretty discouraging. No matter how cold and wet it was, or how far away from home the games were, most of the cheer- leaders were always present. In chapel Marge Todd divided her time between the piano and stage g petite Reba Thompson shouted Make it nice and snappyng Peg Forsbcrg encouraged us with a Y ou can do better than that g Peggy Sarver lcd the boys and Charlotte Black, the girls on a B.A.H.S.g and Doris Warcl, curls and all, and graceful Betty I-Iazeltine gave us plenty of i'Knee action . So letfs turn the tables this time and give a cheer for the cheerleaders, They certainly deserve it. i f- 39 Basketball BEN AVON 26-FACULTY 28 Eager to open the season with a victory over their teachers, the Ben Avon High passers were nosed out by a 26-28 score. With Coach Aultman, Sager, and johns leading the faculty's scoring, the lirst half resulted in a 17-7 ad- vantage over the varsity. After the intermission the varsity displayed a vastly improved scoring attack, coming within one point of the faculty but failing to toss the winning basket. BEN AVON 22-PERRY 34 V The local fioorites went on their lirst road trip of the season only to be defeated by the fast-moving Perry High School aggregation. It was a nip-and- tuck battle for the entire lirst half, with the lead changing several times. Ben Avon showed a smooth-running offense, which more than once puzzled the Perryites. As the second half started, the score board read 15-15. With a smash play from Black to Lawry we surged ahead 17-15. However, the Perry team him the backboard with unusual accuracy, and soon held a distinct advan- tage over the home team. Never able to threaten the opponent's lead again, Ben Avon yielded gradually, lighting right up to the final gun. 40 llliN AVON 13-OLIVER 26 ln a hotly contested pre-season battle, the Maroon and Cray took a Z6-19 setback at the hands of Oliver High School, on the latter's Hoor. Neither team was able to gain a decisive lead the tirst half, because of the close defensive play by both teams. Oliver had a 13-10 advantage at half time. ln the third quarter Oliver suddenly started a barrage of long shots, which threw our boys off bal- ance. tJliver's lead was never threatened again, as this surprise proved to be the turning point of the contest, llliN AVON 13-AVALON 30 The .Xultmanites opened the ollicial league season, meeting their neighboring rivals, Avalon, on the home tloor. Avalon displayed a quick-shooting team, which battled our boys with hook shots from unexpected angles. .Xt the Start of the second half Avalon had pulled out in the lead by a 17-ll score. The at-cond half was all Avalon. The few times that the llen Avon boys did get the ball they were unable to penetrate the highly effective .Xvalon defense. BEN AVON 15YLl2liTSDAl.li 30 llen Avon traveled down to Leetsdale and came back on the Short end of a 30-15 score. Stellar playing on the part of Leetsdale team resulted in a Z0 to 5 score in their favor at half time.. lien Avon, rising to the occasion during the second half, gave Leetsdale a battle for the remainder of the contest. However, l.eetsdale's decisive lead in the first half was too much to overcome, and the local cagers returned still looking for their lirst win. lllCN AVON 19mNliYlLLli 18 .Xnxious to annex their tirst league victory, the Ben Avon cagers entertained Neville in a genuine thriller. Unable to take many shots, both teams contributed to slowing the game down by their air'-tight defensive play during the first half. The scarcity of lield goals was evidenced by the 8 to 4 favor of Neville score at the intermission. Shooting more freely during the second half, both teams added points to their scores with increasing rapidity. The crowd was on its feet as lien Avon went into the lead with only seconds remaining to play. Neville just missed three very close shots after we had gone into the lead by one point, almost causing heart failure to the excited lien Avon rooters. lll-IN AVON 9-EDGIQVVOOD 21 lidgewood gave us a 21-9 setback in a slow and unexciting encounter on their lloor. Our boys were unable to make a single point the tirst half, Edgewood having gained a decisive 8-0 advantage. The home team collected nine points during the last two periods, but they were unable to threaten the fast-mov'nff 1 as lidgewood outht. 41 BASKETBALL BEN AVON 16-BELLEVUE 31 The Blue and Gold of Bellevue copped a 13-16 decision from Ben Avon on the latter's floor. By dint of some high-class shooting Bellevue pulled out in the lead during the second quarter and maintained a decisive 20-6 margin during the pause between halves. Coming back with an abundance of pep and light, the Aultman-coached cagers displayed a greatly improved brand of ball through- out the second half. Bellevue scored only one more point than our team in the two remaining periods, but their Hrst halt lead. was too large for us to overtake. BEN AVON 23-SEXVICKLEY 35 Putting on one of its best performances of the season at Sewickley, the Maroon and Gray basketeers were defeated by a score of 35-23. The spectators were given some real exciting moments in the lirst half when the lead was snatched interchangeably by both teams. Both teams fought stubbornly, refus- ing to be outdone when one or the other went ahead by a one or two point margin. Between halves the score board read 13-lO in favor of Sewickley, but Ben Avon did not hesitate to tie it at 14-14 immediately after the start of the third quarter. The remainder of the struggle turned out to be a give-and-take affair with much rough play being displayed by both sides. Sewickley did not get a decisive lead until the last minute of play, when they went on a scoring spree, which was enough to put the game down as a win for them. BEN AVON 16-FACULTY 19 Striving to avenge the previous defeat handed them by their teachers, the varsity dropped another one by a 16-19 count. The faculty aggregation turned out to be a one-man te-am with Coach Aultman rolling up seventeen of the nine- teen points. The baskets were few and far between, while most of those that were shot were hook shots from awkward positions. Mr. Johns, the commer- cial teacher, created a sensation by his rough play. 3 BEN AVON Z6-AVALON 28 This never-to-be forgottenbattle with our oldest rivals proved to everyone that the Ben Avon High tossers really can play good basketball. Paced by the dimunitive Sammy Luttrell, the local boys completely outplayed their opponents during the first two periods. VVith our zone defense clicking perfectly, we had gained a menacing 18-ll advantage at the half. It proved too good to be true, however, for Avalon quickly tied up the score in the third quarter. Then it was any marfs ball game up to the last second with the score close all of the time. BEN AVON 14-LEETSDALE 6 Smarting from the ZS-26 edging given them by Avalon, Ben Avon came back to give Leetsdale a sound 14-6 lacing. The defenses of both teams were very effective, resulting in one of the lowest-scoring games in years. It was 42 very rarely that Leetsdale penetrated our zone defense, but when they did, they were too hurried on their shots to do any damage. The last half was begun with a 5-5 tie, but the fast-moving Ben Avonites soon made it 10-5. One solitary foul was all Leetsdale could muster during the entire last two periods. Our lead was never threatened after the third quarter. BBN AVON 29-NEVILLE 38 Ben Avon journeyed to Neville Island High School for their second en- gagement with the lslanders . Neville's attempt at a zone defense was not very successful, but they were able to hold a 12-10 advantage at the intermission. The second half was a series of sneaker passes, sucker shots, and erratic cross-court tosses by both teams. Neville out-did us in this freakish passing and shooting, but the boys had some consolation in that they tallied more points than in any other single game. BEN AVON 10-EDGEXVOOD 25 Ben Avon was given a discouraging setback by the highly-touted Edgewood I-ligh cagers. Edgewood's star forward, Michaels, was practically a one-man team, collecting twelve of the twenty-live points. Using a one-'handed hook shot that puzzled our boys, he played a superior game of basketball in every way. Not being able to penetrate lZdgewood's zone defense, Ben Avon was held in check by 9 to l at the half. Hope was revived in the third period when we quickly scored seven points to make the score-board read 9-8. However, the indomitable llflichaels threw two long loopers through the rim, which signed the death warrant for us. The remainder of the game was a series of long, L'll1Cl'l'll'Ig shots by the lidgewood squad against which our players could do little. BEN AVON 22-BELLEVUE 40 The section leaders entertained Coach Aultman and his basketball players by inflicting a stinging defeat on them. Ben Avon played excellent ball during the lirst period, and on several occasions we surprised Bellevue with our good shooting. Attempting to overcome an 18-6 delicit piled up against them during the first and second quarters, Ben Avon fought gamely, only to fall hopelessly behind. The veteran Dulce Black, playing the excellent type of ball of which he is so capable, was high-scorer for Ben Avon with nine points to his credit. BEN AVON 22fSEvV.lCKLlEY 17 1 lien Avon said goodbye to basketball until another season by inflicting a decisive defeat on the boys from down the valley. vVith a never-say-die spirit that has been characteristic of their play all season in spite of the many losses, the Maroon and Gray came from behind in the last quarter to clinch a victory. As we started the second half, we were under a 15-8 disadvantage, but the in- spired game that the boys displayed soon evened up the score. In the last few minutes the contest turned out to be a real thriller, as most of the Ben Avon rooters were screaming so loudly that the whistle couldn't be heard. Duke Blaclc's shot from the middle of the lloor was in the air as the tinal whistle blew. 43 I l Senior Athletes li if , flick' f In X - i , . . I V 1- 5 Q I I JS A , gl 1 Ab: p . i i , 'rv i lf?

It would have been utterly impossible to accomplish such feats if live years ago the girls of Ben Avon High who were interested in sports had not been organized into an able group. The Sports Club has also made it possible for every girl in school to earn a letter. Each girl is permitted to participate in any activity she desires. At different times of the year various sports are stressed with a tournament at the end of the season. Points are awarded to the persons who are picked for the various teams, and additional points are given to the champion team in each sport. The main activities are: mushball, tumbling, hockey, basketball, volleyball, and tap and natural dancing. The Sports Club has proved an immense benefit to its members by helping them achieve sports- manship and a spirit of cooperation. 45 1 1 , . N 1 . A V .

The next important meeting is the installation of Freshmen which has always been one of the club's most solemn and impressive services. Next comes a series of meetings of which dinners, discussion groups. and speakers are the most important. There is always the father and daughter dinner. I-Ii-Y banquet, and the senior farewell dinnerg and this year instead of the usual tea for mothers. we held a dinner for them also. The topics in the discussion groups have ranged from patriotism to fashions, with speakers on colleges, friendship, and make-up in between. One of the most interesting meetings last year was that on make-up at which Miss Lewis spoke and also illustrated, using some of the girls as models. But don't think that this club does things only for its own benefit and pleasure. This year the Ben Avon Girl Reserves was one of the two clubs giving the greatest amount of money in the annual gift day which is held to raise money to carry on the work at the central Y.XV.C.A. Nearly every year the girls dress dolls as Christmas presents for small children in homes and hospitals and pack baskets of food to be given to the poor at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. One of the most enjoyable yearly events of the club is the Christmas Eve carol singing. As the purpose of the Girl Reserves is to give each member a chance to broaden her character through cooperation and social contact, this year some- thing new was tried. The program committee established interest groups such as dramatics, knitting, sports, cooking, and' charm. Since any girl may belong to as many groups as she wanted, the groups have done much to bring out the varied interests of the girls. p As for social meetings: At least twice a year we have a meeting at which we play games and have refreshments, and then there are the dances. We usually have two dances each year in the school gym, and in addition this year instead of the usual alumnae bridge-tea our club held a supper dance at the Shannopin Country Club. Then there is the event that every Girl Reserve looks forward to at the end of the year, the two day stay at the Girl Reserve Camp, Carondowancla. The afternoon following the close of school at least thirty-five Girl Reserves head for camp where they can sleep, eat and talk all they Want. Another im- portant thing in Girl Reserves is the conferences at which the representatives from many diHerent clubs meet to discuss topics of the day with each other and then take the new ideas back to their club. Vlfe mustn't forget to mention the Y.W'.C.A. committee of Ben Avon which does much each year in assisting at dinners, getting interesting speakers, and helping us to plan our meetings. There is' also advisor Mary YVilson, whose help with the meetings and interest groups is invaluable. We plan for meetings next year which will be as successful as those of the last few years and hope that the club will continue to be a success. 49 Crchestra HIS fall the orchestra was rather at a disadvantage because of an ap- parent lack of talent. However, after a short period of campaigning Mr. McCarthy succeeded in organizing an orchestra composed of twenty-tive members. Of these, two were seniors, one was a seventh grader, while the majority was sophomores. The orchestra was started by Mrs. Hatton about nine years ago. Miss Phinney worked miracles with the nucleus of an instrumental department which she found when she came two years later in 1931. The orchestra is now work- ing under the splendid direction of Mr. McCarthy, who has just been with us this last year. Three 'rehearsals are held every week, and these are lilled with enjoyment as well as hard work. Not only was music furnished between the acts of all the plays given by the school, but also a spring concert will be given this May as the climax of the yea1 s work. However, the big event of the year is the All- County Orchestra,,which is a part of the Spring Festival, in which students from all over the county participate. Last year there were one hundred and seventy-five members in all, of which thirty or more were from Ben Avon. 50 Hi-Y HE Ben Avon I-Ii-Y Club meets every Thursday night in the Ben Avon Presbyterian Church under the supervision of Williaiii Montgomery, better known as Monty , After the tables have been cleared, the Hi-Yers gather around Monty for one of his well known talks'!. Monty is one of the best friends and advisers the boys have. Hi-Y members were active the past year in the Y.M.C.A. membership cam-- paign and the anniversary fund campaign. During' personal inventory week, the club members were interviewed in- dividually by a man experienced in boys work. The interviewers work from a personal inventory test which the club members have tilled out. The impres- sive induction ceremonies were held this year in the Ben Avon United Presby- terian Church. In this service the four club oliicers represent the terms body, mind, spirit, and service. fliach member being inducted is informed of the meaning of these' words and how they coincide with his Hi-Y life. Alumni night was held during' the Christmas holidays, when old Hi-Y members renewed ac- quaintances, or talked over old times together. Hi-Y boys are especially fond of Girl-Reserve night, when the high school Girl Reserves banquet with them in the Presbyterian Church. Another event always looked forward to by the I-Ii-'Yers is Dad's Night. This year the dads were addressed by Mr. A. N. Fraser of Ben Avon, who showed pictures of his hunting trip in the Canadian Rockies. T he annual mother's night was a great success. Dr. Lytle of the Ben Avon United Presbyterian Church addressed the mothers and sons on the spiritual nature which Hi-Y develops in boys. The ofticers for the Ben Avon Hi-Y club for the past year were: president, Bird Duffy vice president, Lindsay VVolfeg secretary, Fred Evansg and treasurer, Thomas Bright. 51 l i Girls' Glee Club Archer, jean Arnold, Mary Baldwin, Ruth Baldinger, Ruth Browne, Barbara Buckman, Betty Campbell, Mary Lou Cahoon, Mary jane Carothers, Kate Carothe-rs, Mae French Conley, Harriet Cook, Janet Cook, Marjorie Dill,.

It draws its membership of forty-three from the three upper classes. It unites with the Boys, Glee Club and the junior Glee Club for a mixed chorus when they give their Christmas and spring concerts. In view of the limited time the club has for practice, it is doing very acceptable work. One of the main events of the year is the attendance by the Glee Club of the big Allegheny County Festival, which is held every May at the Syria Mosque in the city. This year an a cappella choir was organized. It has a membership of twenty-four selected voices from the three upper classes. Rehearsals are held three times a week at noon. On April third the choir broadcast over a local Pittsburgh station as part of the advertising program for the Allegheny County Festival. 52 Junior High Play REVIEXV or HUCKLEBERRY FINN A Play by ROY F. LEVVIS The school year of 1936-37 marked the beginning of junior high school plays. The first play was given in'The High School Auditorum, March 5, 1937 to a packed house: The play chosen was Huckleberry F inn and was based on the famous Mark Twain story of the same name. The cast consisted of: Aunt Polly ................,....... ,..... ........................ Ruth Nvatson, her sister ....,........................ Mary Jane, their young niece and 1-1nck's girl .friend Fred Raymond, in love with Ruth ..........,........ Clara XfVoppingcr, Deaconess of the Church ...... .

P R 1 SCILLA DODGE The whole play takes place in the living-room of a southern home which be- longs to two sisters, Ruth and Polly Watsoii, who are making an attempt to reform Huck Finn from his tramp-like way of living. But something interferes with their training-Huck's father, supposedly drowned, returns. Pa Finn wants Huck's share of the money that Huck and Tom Sawyer found in an old cave. Huck, to avoid giving it to him, runs away and does not return until about a year later. Vtfhen he returns, he finds that many things have come to pass: Huck's father has completely reformed and is engaged to marry Aunt Polly, while Mary Jane, Huckys old girl friend, promises to marry Huck as soon as he makes a success as a geolo- gist. Aunt Ruth is engaged to marry Fred Raymond, the man who .taught Huck geology. And Tom Sawyer and Huck once more the closest of friends. 53 I I Senior Class Play WIDOW BY PROXY by A CA'l'lfllERINE CITISIIOLM Cusi-UNO THE CAST Gloria Gray, a bachelor girl .........,..... ....

But Gloria feels that a part of the estate being settled must be claimed by Dolores. So, when Dolores refuses to go to Pennington, Gloria decides she will go in her place. She- gets to Pennington and fools the aunts, Steve, the lawyer, the servant, hushes her dressinaker QGilliganj, and is, all ready to get Dolores's portion of the estate-when jack, the long-lost husband returns. There is, of course, a mix-up of men, but the Hnal pairing is Dolores-jack, and Steve-M Gloria. The witty dialogue of the play was convincingly presented by a fine cast. Remember Reba and Maiy? 54 High School Play THE TOWER ROOM MYSTERY Late in April Ben Avon High School put on the first mystery play since the presentation of Tiger Hoio.s'e in 1933. The title was The Towel' Room Illysfery, and the cast consisted of the following: 'lack Chalice, who ingerites the Castle .. Kate Chalice, his sister . . ........ . . . . Myra Vernon, a girl of mystery ...... Kennedy lllsworth, a young writer eng Matilda, an old servant . ........... . limily, a young servant ....

FRANK EVANS Beatrice .... . . JANE THOMPSON Antoinette ................................................ PEGGY SARVER The entire action of the play took place in the tower room Of an old house built like a castle, situated in the mountains of Wfest Virginia, near the Potomac River. The house had been inherited by Jack Chalice and his sister, who were spemling their lirst night there. jack planned to spend the evening writing a mystery story. A quick succession of events in the form Of The Master, Spiders, the Kiss of Death, a mad woman, a mystery girl, and a sliding panel supplied Jack with plenty of material for a story, Later it was discovered that these events were part of a hoax played on Jack by Kennedy Elsworth, a young writer who had made a contract with lack for a mystery play. The Master and his vampi1'e wives turned out to be a troupe of actors hired by Kennedy to create atmosphere for .lack's story. The story had the usual happy ending and final fadeout kiss. 55 Aton Rays HEN the Senior Class finally decided rather late in the year to publish an annual, it looked around for three strong luminaries to uphold the jobs of editor, business manager, and faculty advisor. By election they chose Rita Lucas as editor and Letitia Hamilton as business manager. Mr. Johns of the commercial department gladly consented to be faculty advisor. For their supporting staff these newly elected ofticials reached up amongst the celestial seniors and grabbed a handful of scintillating sunbeams. Marjorie Todd, Marjorie Munroe, Martha Louise Jeffries, and Bird Duff were naturally chosen to comprise the editorial staff because of their scholastic and literary standing. They proved themselves worthy of their appointment by turning in highly commendable work. Mary Margaret McMillan and Irving Moss were chosen as advertising managers, and the dazzling results they produced in the form of ads proved them to be go-getters of the Hrst class. The sports angle of our annual was competently handled by our two sports editors, Mary Louise Robinson, president of the Girls' Sports Club, and Paul Smith of all around athletic fame. Babe Lenzner and Bob Siegel were appointed. circulation manager and photography editor respectively, and they proved themselves sun- beams of the strongest and most enduring nature. However, even with such a brilliant staff as this our annual could not have been carried to a successful conclusion save for the excellent help of several other persons. To Mr. Vlfatts, the head of our English Department, go our sunniest thanks for the willing and cooperative manner in which he helped us get our material into shape. To artists, Miss Lewis, Peg Luttrell, and Ed Rodgers go our likewise radiant thanks for making the sunbeams literary shine in our book. Also worthy of our heartiest praise are Sammy and Peg Luttrell for their assistance in typing up the ma- terial. And the following underclassmen can consider themselves most ardently sunkissed : juniors-Fred Evans, Donna Doerr, and Mary Arnold, sopho- mores-Ann Hamilton and jim Demmelerg and freshmen-Iileanor Homan, Katherine Letsche, and Bill Houston. The combined efforts of these corusca- tions have culminated in the first annual published by Ben Avon in twelve years. It is our hope that this will mark the beginning of increasingly bigger and better publications by Ben Avon High. 56 Thanks, Mr. Johns TI-Ili SENIGR CLASS wishes to take this op- portunity to thank the faculty advisor of this annual, Mr. Henry D. Johns. Since this was the first time in twelve years that an annual was published by Ben Avon High School, the seniors were at a loss as to how to go about such a task because of the lack of knowledge and experience. Mr. Johns, however, stepped in and willingly donated his valuable time to making our dream for a school annual come true. Therefore, the Senior Class, and most especially the De Rebus staff, earnestly thank him for his help. 57 Senior Autobiography 58 Thank You To those who have expressed their appreciation for our patronage while at Ben Avon High School, the Senior class gives the warmest thanks.
