Though thou have time but for a line, be that sublime-Not failure, but low aim, is crimef, It is my sincere wish that you may bring happiness and joy to those with whom you may come in contact throughout your life. H. VIRGIL GRUMBLING SCHOOL BOARD AND OFFICE The joint-Board includes the following members: Brothersvalley Township-R. B. Countryman, A. Bruce Brant, S. B. Berkley, H. H. Miller, and Dorsey Hoffman.

We, the Senior Class, greatly appreciate and wish to thank them for their loyal sup- port, which they have given us. This year our School Administration has changed. Mr. H. Virgil Grumbling has replaced Mr. Norman Miller, and Mr. William D. Igoe, has replaced Mr. Eugene W. Pugh as Vice-Principal. We are very grateful to our School Administration. They have been very patient with us and we feel they have done much to make our school worthwhile. The secretaries in our office consisted of Marian Smith and Mary E. Vought, who have helped us whenever it was possible to do so. V We have in our school a varied curricula, which offers us the following courses: Vocational Home Economics, Vocational Agriculture, Industrial Arts, Commercial Arts, General, and Academic.

The 1940 Bervalon Staff of the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School presents the record of an important event in the history of our state and nation: the construction of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Since this Dream Highway, which represents the latest development in road building, is located close to us, we wish to commemorate this book to the ideals of progress for which that road has been con- structed. We sincerely hope that each student has advanced in knowledge in proportion to the progress made in road building. May your school life be as valuable to each of you as the Pennsylvania Turnpike is to the transportation system of our nation.

A number of social activi- ties were heldg among them a roller-skating party and several dances sponsored by the class in the high school gymnasium after basketball games. Most juniors purchased class rings and during the first semester the class published the school newspaper-Hi-Views. Preyicient, Leah Darrg Vice President, Ruth Dickey, Secretary, Lazzette Bender, Trenriirer, Robert Donner, Social Chairman: Robert Beachleyg Sponmrr: Misses Garlets and Price, Mr. Walker, Colorr: Black and Crimson, Morto: Conquering and Still to Conquer, Flowerz Yellow Tea Rose. This year the Sophomores let the rest of the school know that there was such a class. Several of the members of the Sophomore Class took part in the Forensic contests. Mary Elizabeth Knepper placed second in the poetry contest and brought honor to her class and school. Barbara Yorke Miller entered the Shakesperian Reading contest. Fred Kochever was one of our star basketball players, and probably many of the games were won through his splendid playing. A Several of the band and orchestra members were in this class. In the re-organization of the Hi-Views Staff, Ruth Glessner was chosen as the reporter for the Sophomore Class. Miss Johnson, Miss Wells, and Mr. Stone were the Sophomore homeroom teachers. The class was not organized, but each homeroom had its homeroom officers, which held meetings whenever possible. The class is looking forward to the varied activities offered to juniors. ....28.,.. FRESHMAN CLASS Where oh where are the verdant Freshman? There was no need of singing those words here in B. B. H. S. this year, because they have made everyone aware of their pres- ence. Theres evidence of it in the band, orchestra, dramatic clubs, choruses, Home-Ec. clubs, and other organizations in which the Freshmen participated. The class was the largest in the high school and was divided into three homerooms. The class as a whole was not organized but each homeroom was, and they held home- room meetings. The homeroom teachers were Miss Menges, Miss Mumau, and Mr. Croner. The outstanding activity of this class was a roller-skating party which was held in the fall. They presented their programs for Monday morning assemblies equally as well as the upper classmen. One assembly in particular, which was given by Miss Menges' home- room, was especially remembered. It was a short pantomime and everyone in the assembly enjoyed it thoroughly. 'EIGHTH GRADE There were seventy-eight pupils enrolled in the eighth grade during the term of 1939- 19-40. The class was not organized, but was divided into two groups. Each group elected homeroom officers and held homeroom programs. A Christmas party was one of the features of these meetings. K The eighth grade was well represented in the various school activities such as basket- ball, orchestra, and junior chorus. Some interest and skill has also been displayed in class work which was seen in the various classrooms in art, penmanship, history, science, and shop. Robert Tipton received First prize and Richard Shultz honorary mention in the Book Week Contest. The eighth grade members are all striving to excel in honor, courage, leadership, service, and character which are the characteristics of the persons chosen to win the American Legion Award given annually to an eighth grade boy and girl. ,29,. SIXTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade was divided into two sections, the teachers of which were Miss Hartman and Mr. Lehman. Each homeroom usually had a program every other Friday during the eighth period. The boys and girls played instruments, read poems and stories, and sometimes someone danced. Each homeroom elected a president, vice-president, and secretary. At Christmas time each homeroom had a party at which they ate popcorn, apples, candy and cookies. They exchanged small gifts, and everyone seemed to enjoy himself. Each homeroom had a Valentine Box and had a nice time giving and receiving valentines. Some of the seventh grade students were in the band and orchestra, others were in the junior High Chorus. Some of the boys played basketball, mushball, and volleyball. The sixth grade remained in three sections for the 1939-40 term with no change in the teachers who were Miss Altfather, Miss Rhoads, and Mr. Suder. Even though things were new and different to the children they adapted themselves very nicely to corridor travel, auditorium conduct, use of the gymnasium, and fire drills. There was splendid response to the club work which consisted of library, dramatics, travel, nature, and mixed chorus. Under Mr. Ba11's supervision, we were all proud of their art exhibition of scenery murals at the County Institute. The sixth grade sections presented outstanding programs during the Monday morning assemblies. A dramatization of the song Snow White, readings, and vocal solos were among those we will long remember. ....30... GRGAN IZATIGN S xii? Q? 5 g W 4 QD X? X BOOK CLUB During the activity period every Tuesday a group of twenty girls forming the Book Club met in Room Seven under the sponsorship of Miss Hartman. At the beginning of the year the book The Wizard of Oz was read and the entire club went to see the movie. At Christmas time the club had a party. Later, many interesting letters received by the members of the club from foreign countries were read. Many educational facts concerning the lives and customs of these people were learned. Several weeks were spent in preparing an assembly pro- gram which was presented on February 9. The play was Among Us Girls. Lazette Bender played the part of the young bride, Mrs. Darling. Barbara Miller took the part of the old maid, Miss Birdie Talcum. Ruth Dickey was Mrs. Seymour. Kathryn Countryman was Mrs. Noyes. Leah Darr played the part of Mrs. Darling's maid, Marie. The play was considered one of the best programs of the year by the student body. In several meetings each member discussed her reading likes and dislikes. Many Berlin residents kindly accepted invitations to come to the club meetings and discuss mod- ern books and authors. Every member thoroughly enjoyed each discussion. .,.32... The Chico Club is an honorary girl's club of the Berlin- Brothersvalley High School. Its main purposes are to develop character and general culture and to carry on a program of diversified interests for the girls' own satis- faction. The requirements for eligibility to the club are that any member of any class in high school except Fresh- man may participate in the club and that each prospective member must have a good character and a scholastic average of a C. Each year the club officers choose two sponsors. This year they were Miss Price and Miss Morrison. October, being the official time for initiation and ac- ceptance of new members, a special committee was appointed to arrange the secret ceremony. The initiation was held at Mr. Ream's farm on the Ridge. During the course of the year the outstanding events included a Christmas party, the Leap Year Dance which was held in the High School Gymnasium and the annual formal dinner dance held in May at Hollywood. The club was divided into four groups this year which were responsible for the semi-monthly meetings. At the end of the year a prize was awarded to the committee which presented the best meetings. The meetings were filled with many social affairs and frequently small informal dances were held in the library in connection with the meetings. CHICO CLUB .33,. l COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club was an activity for commercial students held during the eighth period on Monday. It was an activity particularly useful for boys and girls taking the business course. As one of its activities, the club presented a play called A Dollar Down in the general assembly. The play dis- closed some of the dangers of installments and of buying on the installment plan. The characters were: May Fernlaolz .....,,....., .....,.. , ., .......,..... Martha Nider Roy Fernbolz ......,... .,... , George Will Pew! Dowling .,...,,. .,..,,. , .Evelyn Fritz Frank Dowling .,..... ,.... , Lee McKenzie Mfr. Williamr .,.....,. ..,.,.. C lara Shultz Walter Erneft .....,......... ,.,..,......,, , .. ........ , John Weigle Several Held trips were taken during the year, and a number of Berlin businessmen spoke at occasional club meetings. A weiner roast and a Valentine Party were among the social activities. The club meetings often consisted of professional talks, or discussions of problems met in everyday business life, and details which should be basic training in office pro- cedure for prospective stenographers, secretaries, clerks. and other office workers. In the spring the club went on one of the school busses to Pittsburgh. There they visited the Heinz plant and several of the large institutions. M34 . The Boys' Cooking Club was an organization for boys from the ninth to twelvth grades. The club was organ- ized at the beginning of the term and was sponsored by Miss Menges. The club has been in existence for the last three years and has always been a big success. One of the requirements of the club is that each mem- ber must wear an apron while he is working. The recipes, prepared by Miss Menges, were simple, yet worthwhile. The boys in the club have been very interested in their work all year and they learned to make various dishes. When they had mastered the simple routines of prepara- tion, they started making more diflicult foods. Miss Menges started them at baking cakes and making candy. The first few cakes were not so good, but they improved greatly with a little practice. The aft of making candy, which is rather difficult to acquire, was achieved with as much success as the cake project. All the work had to be done in one period and by the individuals themselves, although Miss Menges often had to wash some of the dishes. The club met every Wednesday during the eighth period. The membership was necessarily limited, due to the short- ness of time for preparation and lack of previous training on the part of the boys. W35. . COOKING CLUB DRAMATICS--- SENIOR With special dramatic training as an aid in the presen- tation of successful class plays the members of the Senior Dramatic Club were anxious to learn as much stage tech- nique as possible. Sophomores, juniors, and Seniors were the energetic members of this organization. Several skits, one-act plays, and readings were presented in assembly programs throughout the term. Miss Garlets sponsored the activities of this club. One of the hardest things for most individuals to do is face an audience without any nervousness. It is the aim of the dramatics clubs to develop stage poise in the stu- dents at an early age so that they will be able to take part in community activities now and later in life. As in all other phases of activity it is practice that makes perfect so we hope to see all of these persons, as well as other students taking part in as many assembly programs as pos- sible during their high school days. Members of the Senior Dramatics Club included: Emily Collins, Evelyn Hillegass, Kathryn Countryman, Mary L. Willkow, Kathleen Boger, Dorothy Brant, Faye Glessner, Electa Groft, Ruth Brant, Betty Lehman, William Diest, Ruth Werner, Helen Stairs, Melda Sarver, Rose Ann Nider, Eleanor Hillegas, Betty Bittner, William Cober, Mary Mays, Ruth Dickey, Emma Croner, jean Braeseker, Margie Bereider, Forrest Cameron, Lois Rhodes, Margaret Engle, and Helen johnson. 36... The students in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades had an opportunity to develop their dramatic abilities in the junior Dramatic Club. By preparing different types of assembly programs these pupils learned to adapt them- selves to the various methods used on the amateur stage. One of the outstanding programs presented by this or- ganization was entitled The Album. While Nellie Brant played Grandma we were all privileged to see humorous pictures of her friends and family which she treasured in her old photograph album. Only in this case all the pho- tographs were alive and she explained the circumstances under which each picture was taken. Under the supervision of Miss Garlets these junior high school pupils have gained sufficient stage poise to feel at ease on the public platform. Perhaps these people received more practice in public appearances during the Monday morning assemblies than during any other time. The variety in programs given by these persons was proof that they learned how to plan and present interesting programs. 37 DRAMATICS JUNIOR F. F. A. The organization of the Future Farmers of America of the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School enjoyed a successful year. The meetings were held every Tuesday afternoon during the eighth period and on several occasions in the evening. The varied programs included talks by the mem- bers, slides and moving pictures, and lectures by prominent men in the field of agriculture. Interesting activities of the organization began last sum- mer with a picnic. In September it sponsored the Com- munity Fair and built a ball diamond at the Community Park. The first Parent and Son Banquet ever held in Somerset County under the auspices of an Agricultural Department was held on December 8th in the Trinity Lutheran Church. Those present included F. F. A. boys with their parents, agriculture teachers with representative students from several other schools, County Agricultural Officials, School Board members, and Mr. V. A. Martin from Harrisburg. Two of the members were honored by being made members of the National F. F. A. Band which played in Kansas City, Missouri at the International Live- stock Show. In january, several boys visited the State Farm Show at Harrisburg where they won three places in the State Project Contest. During the past year the club sold products co- operatively, tested seed for farmers, assisted in sponsoring an evening class for adult farmers, organized a basketball team, and a team to initiate other chapters. 38... The Girl Reserves is an organization for high school girls and is an auxiliary of the Young Women's Christian Association. The adult sponsors are called the Woman's Council of which Mrs. Robert Miller is the local president. The purpose of the club is, To find and give the best. Their code is, I will strive to be Gracious in manner, Im- partial in judgment, Ready for service, Loyal to friends, Reaching toward the best, Earnest in purpose, Seeing the beautiful, Eager for knowledge, Reverent to God, Victor- ious over self, Ever dependable, Sincere at all times. The capital letters starting each phrase in the code, when placed side by side, spell Girl Reserves. There were forty-six girls enrolled in the club this past year. Miss Anna Catherine Rhoads and Miss Geneva Alt- father served as the advisors for this school term. In October the club had a Halloween party to which the Woman's Council members and the lady faculty members were invited. As one of its activities the club led the Monday morning assembly during National Girl Reserves Week. At Easter time the club hxed a basket for the Childrens Aid Society in Somerset. It also sponsored a Mother and Daughter Banquet and a Friday assembly program for Mothers Day. In March the club participated in the assembly program given just before the Easter vacation. Two playlets were given at this time. GIRL RESERVES U39... M and M CLUB The M and M Club, named for the Misses Menges and Mumau, was organized this year. This was the first Home Economics Club ever organized in our school and it consisted of fifty-five members. A number of meetings were held during the school term. Due to difficulties in arranging a period for the meetings, they were held at night in the school building. Two initiations were performed, a formal and an informal. For the formal initiation, the girls were all dressed in their white uniforms and a candle-lighting service was carried out. Each candle stood for some character trait such as kindness, charity, and friendliness. The Club has become affiliated with the National Club and those members who had the required number of merits at the end of the year received pins. The Seniors were required to have one hundred and fifty merits to receive a pin and the other club members must have three hundred and fifty merits. During the Christmas season the club made gifts and gave them to some of the children in our district. The club also decorated the main entrance to our high school building at Christmas time. A few aims of the club were: To send delegates to the state club conference and to go on a field trip. The Pro- gram Committee and the Social Committee had other inter- esting and enjoyable functions planned. ....4O... The Library Club for the year 1939-40 was formed under the direction of Miss Morrison, the librarian. Some of the outstanding activities of the year were con- nected with Book Week which was observed during the week of November 12th to 18th. Beginning on Monday, a tea was given for the faculty members commencing at four o'clock. After the judging of the posters entered in the Poster Contest, Mr. john Snyder from Garret, gave an interesting talk on Baghdad, Iraq where he taught for a year. Following the talk the Book Week Exhibit was opened and light refreshments were served. Thursday afternoon in the eighth period a dance was held with all those present in costumes representing for- eign lands or book characters. The Friday assembly program was in charge of the club which presented a one act play on American and English poets. The latter part of the program was devoted to the awarding of the prizes for the best posters on the theme Books Around the World and for the best costumes at the dance. The winners of the poster contest were: lst, Robert Tiptong 2nd, Violet Shaffer. An exhibit of the posters and book covers was held in the music store on Main Street the latter part of the week. .41 LIBRARY CLUB NATURE CLUB The Nature Club consisted of seventh and eighth grade students and was under the sponsorship of Mr. Lehman. The club met every Tuesday during the eighth period. Much time was spent studying different kinds of trees. The club found a way to identify different trees and learned in what regions they grow best. The group also studied the trees on the high school campus. One day last fall a hike was enjoyed by the group, during which the club members inspected many of the different shrubs in our community. Wild life was also studied by the club. Different species of birds and their usefulness and value were discussed. Where to find nests also proved to be an interesting topic. Animals and their peculiar habits interested the group greatly. Other subjects delved into during the winter months in- cluded the native trees of Pennsylvania and the proper way to press flowers and leaves. This latter topic was studied because each member made a collection of spring flowers with proper indentifications. ...42 1 The Photography Club was organized at the beginning of the school term for all high school students. The club members brought their kodaks or cameras to school and learned how to operate them correctlyg as well as how to handle the film while loading the camera. Each week a member brought a film of pictures he had taken and the club members developed them. This taught everyone how to develop his own pictures and what solutions should be used in the process. The club had planned to send for supplies for the second semester, but Mr. Walker, the sponsor, had to assume his duties as assistant basketball coach so that the club had to be discontinued for the bas- ketball season. After the basketball season was over a new club was organized instead of the Photography Club. Because the junior high school boys were very much interested in model airplanes a group of them formed a club for the purpose of sharing experiences in building model airplanes. ,. 45 ,. Photography Club SAFETY PATROL That the increase in traffic during the past decade has brought with it additional need for safety precautions no one has the temerity to deny. Therefore, in 1931 the Gen- eral Assembly authorized school districts to organize and sponsor school boy patrols with the assistance of local Motor Clubs, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the Depart- ment of Highways for the purpose of influencing and en- couraging pupils to refrain from crossing at times when the presence of traffic would render crossing unsafe. It is not to be construed that these patrolmen are to act in the capacity of a policeman to direct vehicular traffic, but instead they are to encourage the development of an attitude of law observance. Only through education in law observance can we expect law enforcement. Our school boy patrol is composed of two parts: the bus patrol which assists and directs pupils in the proper methods of getting on and off busses, crossing highways, and waiting for bussesg the town patrol which is designed to direct and assist students who walk to school, in crossing streets at certain designated points and to use definite routes in coming to and leaving school. That it has been efficient in our school is shown by the fact that in the last three years there have been no traffic accidents even though more than 507: of our students are transported by busses. ....-44...

We could not hope to win every game, but we can say that our boys played a clean, fair game in every encounter. Unfortunately we lost many of our varsity players through graduation. The Seniors included: jay Boyer, Robert Lane, George Engleka, Robert Cober, and Robert McQuade. All of these boys did their best to bring honor to the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School in the basketball world. Fred Kochever achieved recognition on the lists of the best all-around players submitted by the various coaches of the county. We are looking forward to the future games which Fred will play for B. B. H. S. Mr. Pritz deserves credit for the fine coaching job which he did with this team. We also wish to acknowledge the services rendered by Mr. Walker, the junior varsity coachg and Mr. Lehman, the faculty manager. ....47,... BASKETBALL wwlnx if I SOFTBALL L v u 'wr x QCPFDY Q5 Enthusiasm ran high last fall when our varsity softball team was leading in the county league. Witlm seemingly little effort our boys captured the first round. In the play- off for the title at the close of the season they lost to Stonycreek Township by a narrow margin. The early fall sports program was an innovation this year and was greatly appreciated by the student body. Mr. Pritz coached this softball team that played so many winning games. His sustaining interest in and comrade- ship with the players has contributed much to the success of the athletic program in B. B. H. S. Pictured in the above photograph are: Fin! row-left to right: Mr. Pritz, Earl Ritchey, Jay Boyer, lrvin Engleka, Fred Kochever, George Dart, George Engleka, William Cober, Carl Smith, and Derwood Hine- baugh.

With the coming of spring and the end of the basket- ball season we found our athletes interested in volleyball. This exciting indoor and outdoor sport is gaining popu- larity every year. The annual Somerset County Volleyball Tournament was held in the Somerset High School on Saturday, March 16. Berlin-Brothersvalley High School placed third in this com- petition. On April 5 the same team played a game with our neighboring school: Stonycreek Township. The squad included: Robert Cober Robert Lane Calvert Rhodes George Dart Fred Kochever Harry Mathias Garner Pritz, Couch VOLLEYBALL f-Qu O? .N 4 1 X f ,J 49 MANAGERS AND CHEER- LEADERS '66 Every individual knows how important a cheering sec- tion is at any basketball game. Here is where a cheerlead- ing squad can show its enthusiasm and pep toward win- ning a game. Any team can pull through the toughest game if they are backed by an enthusiastic group of cheerers. This year, under the leadership of Miss Wells, the following were selected from a volunteer group to lead the rooters in their cheers for the basketball team: Helen Schmucker, Mary Louise Willkow, Dorothy Brant, Helen Smith, Clarence Willkow, Glenn Brant, Robert Suder, and Warren Maust. New songs and yells were presented to the group and each cheerleader attended games at home and away. Along with the team, coach, cheerleaders, and cheering section which all assist in basketball games, we must give considerable credit to the basketball managers who assisted Mr. Pritz in carrying out the necessary rehearsals and games. The managers were Harold Fisher and C. W. Altfather. The managers and cheerleaders constitute two very im- portant auxiliary groups to the sports program. 50,.., During September, October, and November the boys in the four classes of the high school participated in a never- to-be-forgotten softball tournament. Every noon period found enthusiastic players and large numbers of spectators on the athletic field ready to play and witness another thrilling game. After many hard-fought games the competition ended with the juniors leading and followed by the Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Intramural sports have come into their own in recent years because the competition is more interesting for a greater number of people than interscholastic competition. M51 HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS 11th and 12th GIRLS SPORTS f-gf , .JK NL. The girls from the eleventh and twelfth grades were members of this club. There were approximately twelve girls in the organization who met every Thursday during the eighth period. One of the chief games played was mushball, which had to be discontinued when the weather grew too cold for outside sports. Later in the semester they practiced basketball in the gymnasium. ln December they engaged in a ping-pong tournament while the boys took over the gymnasium for basketball practice. The ping-pong table was set up in the basement and they could play without interfering with other classes. One of their main features of the year was the Farmers Dance and the Donkey Dance which they gave at the com- munity meeting sponsored by the Physical Education Department. These dances were also given at an assembly program before the whole student body. In the Farmers Dance, all the girls were dressed in over- alls and old straw hats. To the tune of Turkey in the Straw the girls imitated farmers. For the Donkey Dance, three girls had an army blanket thrown over them with a painted donkey head attached to the first one. They were to resemble the donkeys. Other girls came and tried to mount their steeds but they were too balky. This little stunt went over big with the audience. This group also helped in the May Day Exercises. 52 This was an activity for the girls in the ninth and tenth grades held every Monday during the eighth period. Miss Wells was the instructor and taught them many new and interesting games. In the fall they played mushball on the athletic field. When the weather grew too cold for this they played basketball and other indoor sports in the gym- nasium. This club was inactive during the basketball season be- cause the boys needed the gymnasium for practices. They met in a classroom during this time and participated in quiet games. When the Physical Education Department put on its program in February at the community meeting this sports club gave a flashlight drill. Each girl had two flashlights, one in either hand, which had red cellophane on the glass. When the auditorium was darkened, this gave the effect of red discs moving through the air as the girls swung them around. The drill was accompanied by music and the girls made all sorts of figures with their red flashlights. Some of the tenth grade girls from this club also assisted the eleventh and twelfth grade girls in their Farmers Dance on this same program. Mary Ream, who led the dance, presented quite a funny figure as she imitated her idea of a farmer. This club also helped in the presentation of the May Day exercises. The May Pole was skillfully wound and various dances and drills were given. 55 l NINTH AND TENTH GRADES GIRLS SPORTS SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS SPORTS This year Miss Wells sponsored a Sports Club for the seventh and eighth grade girls. This club, which consisted of twenty-nine girls, met during the eighth period every Tuesday. In the fall the girls played mushball and other outdoor games as long as it was warm enough to do so on the athletic field. During the basketball season they met in classrooms. For the February community meeting this club presented a baseball drill. To musical accompaniment, the girls imitated the various motions made by a catcher, pitcher, and batter during a baseball game. In the May Day Exercises this club took an active part. Since this was the first program of this kind for many years in this community it proved an interesting experience for both the participants and spectators. Through organized sports activities such as this club enjoyed most everyone learns new things to do which will later be useful when more leisure time is available. One of the most important things in life today is the acquisition of a hobby. ....5-4... ACTIVITIES 0 -fn ' X 4 A 0 ag V in SEVENTEEN ll One of the highlights in the career of every high school senior is the senior class play. This year the cast success- fully presented Seventeen, a play in four acts by Booth Tarkington. Although the cast and the coach were the only ones who could be found devoting evenings to the success of the show, many other persons contributed their services. As the curtain opened on Act two, scene 1, every- one gasped and awed as the beautiful scenery appeared. To Mr. Richard Ball we wish to extend a word of appre- ciation for this beautiful work.

The faculty of the Berlin-Brothersvalley School presented a rollicking comedy Second Fiddle on Tuesday, March 12 at 8 P. M. in the high school auditorium. This was one time in the school year when members of the faculty could put on their smiles and act as they wished on the stage. It was also a grand opportunity for the stu' dent body to see just how well the faculty could act when in a play. In the plot, Harold Werple, who was engaged to marry Dorothy Van Staaten on Monday, accidently married joan Keeler on the preceding Friday. They happened to be married by Wilbur the butler, who was a Notary Public, and Wilbur certainly suffered the consequences. Neither Miss Van Staaten nor Miss Keeler wanted to play Second Fiddle to Harold Werple, but in the end one of them did. The play was certainly full of humor as Minnie, a spirit- ed friend of joan's, tried to keep Harold Werple from run- ning away from the whole mess. The cast of characters was as follows: Harold Werple ..,........,..,..,........,.....,.,, ,.... R ichard Ball Dorothy Van Staaten ...........,........,..,.. Armelia Mumau joan Keeler ...,.............. ..,..... E linor Glessner Wilbur ...,...,...... ..,..... G eorge Dively M rr. Keeler .,........,. Aunt Marion ......... Minnie ....,............

Morrison All those individuals who were entered in the music and forensic contests had in their power some talent which en- abled them to take part in such activities. The forensic contest required that the entrants be able to speak excellent English, interpret literary passages, and write correct Eng- lish composition. The Berlin-Brorhersvalley High School was represented in several forensic contests. Mary Elizabeth Knepper placed second in the county poetry contestg Barbara Yorke Miller placed fourth in the county Shakespeare Reading contestg and Marguerite Driggs placed fourth in the county original oration contest. The Berlin-Brorhersvalley High School showed outstand- ing ability along the musical line as well. Marguerite Driggs, Helen Schmucker, Derwood Hinebaugh, William Shultz, Glenn Brant, and Robert Suder were members of the All-Western Chorus and Glenn Brant was a member of the All-State Chorus. Later in the school term Faye Glessner and Robert Donner attended the All-Western Orchestra as members. Robert Donner became a member of the All-State Orchestra. In April, Robert Suder and james May attended the All-Western Band at Millvale. Through participation in events of this kind our school will gain recognition in the state for the outstanding work our pupils do in these fields. MUSIC AND FORENSIC CONTESTS ....59.... NEWSPAPER The newspaper was published bi-weekly by the Berlin- Brothersvalley High School. The Editor-in-chief was Leah Dart. lt was found to be a great success this year with several new added features. At the end of the first semester, sev- eral new members were to be found on the staff replacing old ones. The purpose of this was to give more people an opportunity to gain experience in newspaper work. Each new member was chosen for his love of newspaper work, his enthusiasm and each must give the impression of wanting to cooperate with other members of the staff. With these points in mind everyone found great joy in watching the paper become a good one. Those on the staff knew that they would proht by criti- cism and the mistakes they made. Each tried to improve his or her articles and make each edition better than the rest. Only those who were really interested in journalism, worked on the paper to make it the success it was. Best of luck and thanks are due to those new and old members of the staff for their untiring efforts, their pa- tience, and their kind encouragement in times of seeming hopelessness. Those people who were connected with the paper, who did a nice piece of work and who were essential to the paper are the reporters, people serving on the production staff, art editors, associate editors, and typists. We hope the paper will continue to be as great as it was this last year. ,.,60.,.. The Mixed Chorus of the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School outside of being represented in various choruses, singing in churches, Christmas caroling, and many other activities, successfully staged and presented In Old Vienna, an operetta in three acts on February 22, 1940. Besides the cast and chorus, many other people contrib- uted their services which made the operetta a success. Mr. Ball did a very nice piece of work on the scenery and Miss Ruth johnson devoted many evenings to training the chorus. The cast was as follows: Hanr Maier .....,............... .,..........,...

Forty-four eyes looking up, forty-four mouths poised ready to start to sing at the down- ward stroke of the baton. This is an activity where all those possessing musical talent along the singing line can learn what to do with a song. At Christmas time this group of music makers made the chills go up and down a large audiences back as they sang Oh Holy Night, Adoramus Te, and many other familiar Christmas songs. It was this Mixed Chorus that gave you such a brilliant performance in the operetta In Old Vienna. It is easy to remember and so hard to forget such a group who work together for the benefit of a communityg a group which gives its service to those who ask for it. This group feels it has accomplished something worth- while under the very capable leadership of Miss Ruth johnson. Everybody appreciated her willing help in guid- ing them through the Spring Music Festival and other concerts. Six members of the chorus were selected to represent the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School in the All-Western Chorus held at Little Washington and fifteen members were selected for the All-County Chorus held in Somerset. These people were selected because of their ability to sing the songs which were presented. This year Miss Mary Elizabeth Knepper played the piano for the chorus and assisted in all the chorus's performances. ,.,62.... Here we had a chorus composed of approximately forty- five students taken from the Freshman, Sophomore, junior, and Senior classes. Naturally the people belonging to this organization are those girls who were really interested in music and enjoyed working in the chorus. Due to the fact that this was an eighth period activity everyone had an equal chance to belong. Everyone was proud of the won- derful harmonizing which these girls did, Although this chorus of songsters only met once a week they were successful in achieving enough prominence to be chosen by Miss johnson, the directoress, to represent the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School in the All-County Musical Festival held at Somerset in April. Even though the chorus did not do much singing out side of their regular scheduled period, a great deal of work was done within the group. The group did very nice work under the able leadership of Miss Johnson. There was no regular accompanist. Miss johnson played the new songs through while everyone watched the music. Music is one of the finer arts and seems to provide a way for us to forsake the ordinary things of life, even if it is only for 11 few minutes. Music is like great paintings and great works of literature, it is only enjoyable as long as you do not try to explain it. Musical activities give one a chance to leave off excess energy in the form of song. GIRLS' CHORUS 65 ORCHESTRA We were very proud of the hne music which our school orchestra produced for us this past year. Under the capa- ble hands of Mr. Miles Lumbard we are sure that the musi- cians feel justified for the extra time they had to spend on the many programs. The forty-two members comprising the orchestra worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit for their achieve- ITICHTS. Among the outstanding activities of the orchestra this year were its playing at special assemblies, the excellent numbers played at the faculty play, and various other pro- grams during the year. Proof that this orchestra has made rapid progress is the fact that twelve of its members showed their talents by being represented in the All- County Orchestra. A band and orchestra concert was also presented in April in the high school auditorium. The money received from this performance was used for the music department. Faye Glessner attended the All-Western Orchestra and Robert Donner played in both the All-Western Orchestra and the All-State Orchestra. Only the better musicians from the various schools played in these groups. Wie can rest assured that this group of musicians is going to find a place for themselves at the top. .64 Blaa! Clash! Clang! We hear the trumpets blow loud and strong and the drums beat as our band swings around the corner. This tells us one thing. More than fifty mem- bers of the Berlin-Brothersvalley High School Band are on the march. As we hear the shrill whistle we also hear whispers, Who is the snappy drum major? We look around and find it to be none other than Dotty Ann Taylor. Any band would be very well pleased to be led by such an attractive figure twirling a sparkling baton. What a trim, neat look- ing group of music-makers they are, all through hard work. Everybody is very proud of our band and its accomplish- ments this year. The band played at many of our basketball games, helped the team to pound down many of their opponents. It appeared in concerts both in school and outside. We were proud to have two of the band members, who are excellent musicians, eligible for the All-Western Band. This is an honor anyone would be glad to have bestowed upon them sometime during his school career. We hope that Robert Suder and James May continue their fine work in this line and may others have the same chance next year and years to come. Thanks are due to Mr. Miles Lumbard and members of the band for its successful year. BAND + ,.65.... SOCIAL HOUR This year everyone was privileged to enjoy the noon hour by dancing in the gymnasium. This period gave those who wanted to learn to dance an opportunity to do so. At vari- ous times several special types of dances were held. Among the favorites this past year was the Virginia Reel. As the term grew shorter there were fewer spectators and more participants during the social hour, as more and more stu- dents decided to try to dance. One of the most popular forms of dancing this year was the shag. Quite a few of the students had an opportunity to learn the various steps in their gym classes and this noon dancing period gave them a chance to try them out. This was not an organized activity because there was no eighth period available in which to hold it. Next year however, the sponsors, which were Miss Wells and Mr. Croner, hope to secure a regular period for the club and meet once a week. Most of the students greatly enjoyed these noon hours which were devoted to dancing because it gave them some- thing definite to do. 6 ....66,.,. ADVERTISEMENTS f A U INCLAIK l3AsoLm5 BLATT BROS.
