Berlin Brothersvalley High School - Bervalon Yearbook (Berlin, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1943 volume:

i A i BERLIN - BROTHERSVALLEY H I G H S C H O O IL BERVALON 11943 V11 S In dedicating this sixth volume of the Bervalon to Mr. and Mrs. Ward Lehman, we wish to show in a small degree the esteem in which we hold them. The excellent cooperation and advice which they have given to the Staff and to the Senior Class of 1943 have aided greatly in making all our ventures more successful. The members of the Bervalon Staff feel certain that there would have been no annual in this war year, if it had not been for the wisdom and experience of these two loyal advisers. They have given of their time and energy with no thought of themselves. During the months of work, they opened their home to us. With their excellent advice, we have settled problems more quickly. Work has been dispatched promptly because of their fine discipline. Inspired by their high standards, we have given our best. Not only for the guidance they have given to our class activities but also for the friendliness and patience they have at all times shown us, we wish to express our ap- preciation by dedicating this book to them. l4l Editor-in-Chief In the days before and after the American Revolution when our country was composed of thirteen states, Pennsylvania was given the title of the Keystone State, so named because it was the center of the colonies and was of immeasurable value to the then dawning de- mocracy. Today it carries on that tradition. Its rich natural resources and its great industrial centers make it the keystone state of our national defense effort. In honor of the great importance of our state today, we have chosen the Keystone as the theme of the 1943 Bervalon. Throughout the pages of this book, we have attempted to bring you glimpses of school life at Berlin-Brothersvalley High School, a high school typical of the ones in Pennsylvania's modern educational system. It is our sincere wish that in later years the Bervalon will be found to be a source of memories and happy recollections of high school days. l5l 1. ADMINISTRATION ........,.....

Wisdom Insures Success During the years of 1942 and 1943, the juniors, with the help of the office practice class, have published the school newspaper. The new name, Mountain-Ear, was chosen by Harry Hille- gass, who received a book as a reward. After waiting for several months the juniors finally received the standard class ring which they purchased. .llmnior Class One of their main activities was the class play, Ever Since Eve, which was presented on March 5 in the high school auditorium. It was under the able direction of Miss Smith and turned out to be a great success. Many of the boys and girls of the Junior Class participated in various activities such as the Girl Reserves, Dance Club, Orchestra, Typing Club, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts. One of their main events was a party held at Christmas. From this class came some of our football heroes. jimmy Brant helped to bring honor to our school by making a touchdown.

Several of the sophomores are looking forward to their junior year when they can publish the school paper, and be able to sponsor a class play. They also hope they can purchase the standard class ring. Some are looking forward to being on the Bervalon staff when they reach their senior year. This class was not organized, but homeroom oihcers were elected. On Tuesdays during the seventh period, they held interesting meetings at which they discussed etiquette at home, at school, and on dates. They also gave various programs in which the boys and girls participated, such as musical and quiz programs. Discussions were given on the pupils' various hobbies. Once a month they had dancing for their own enjoyment. At Christmas they had a party, at which they played games, exchanged gifts, and served refresh- ments. From this class came some of our most ener- getic cheerleaders, and band and orchestra members. The officers who were elected for both sections of the class are as follows: President. , ,. , .

For a time we made mistakes, but we soon fell in line. Many of these pupils excelled in work which was new to them, and the class took active part in school affairs. Aided by their homeroom teachers, Mr. Stormer and Mr. Saylor, they have organized various programs and have fulfilled their duties. Some of their meetings were of a business nature and some dealt with manners. The ofticers of Mr. Stormer's homeroom are as follows: President ..., . .... ,jimmy Webreck Vice Preiiderit ,. .,.......

Eighth Grade There were eighty-seven students enrolled in the eighth grade during 1942 and 1943. One of the main objectives of this class is to try to win the American Legion Award, From this class every year are picked a girl and boy who excel in honor, leadership, services, courage and character. They are presented with a merit award to show that they have achieved this goal. They have started to make plans for their four years of high school life. Many of these students are waiting for the next year when they will be able to participate in a wider scope of activities, especially in intramural basketball. The eighth grade has taken its part in the various activities and has presented very good assembly programs. Some interest and skill have been shown in class work as art, history. science, and penmanship. The eighth grade holds regular meetings every Tuesday evening, at which they have discussions on guidance, etiquette, books and problems that arose during the day, They also have a court organized, at which they try students who don't obey regulations. One of the homerooms schedules for a month is as follows: first Tuesday, programg second Tuesday, social meetingg third Tuesday, guidance and etiquette, fourth Tuesday, study or court sessions. The sponsors are Miss Musser, Miss Wfatson and Miss Walker. UPPER PICTURE Firrl Rrmx' Olga Swet, Julia Kovak, Pauline Weyant, Joan Grimm, Evanelle Queer, Janet Gindles- perger, Mary Beal.

The seventh grade was divided into three sec- tions, the teachers of which were Miss Johnson, Miss Glessner, and Mrs. Stone. In many ways the seventh grade progressed very nicely. Each homeroom elected a chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer, Some of these students participated in the Library Club, Art Club, Junior Chorus, Penmanship Club. They also participated in band and orchestra. The boys of this class were very much interested in basketball, football, and baseball. The girls were interested in mushball. These groups had homeroom programs in which they discussed the Hag and things dealing with patriotism.

This was their first year at this school building, and many of them got lost, but with the help of the hall patrol and the older students, they finally found their way through the building. They adapted themselves very nicely to the schools regulations of corridor travel, use of the gym- nasium, auditorium conduct, air raid drills, and fire drills. During the beginning of the first semester, aided by their teachers, they elected homeroom officers. The sixth grade activities were devoted to sev- eral different topics as Manners and Conduct. Some of their homeroom programs were of a musical type. They shared in presenting excel- lent assembly programs which everyone enjoyed. The sponsors helped them hold a Halloween party and a Christmas party during the holidays. At their Christmas party, the class rooms were decorated to get the pupils in the Christmas spirit. All helped to make their rooms attractive. The groups were entertained by playing various games, and they all joined in the exchanging of gifts. Some of the sixth graders belonged to the junior Chorus under the direction of Miss john- son, and others showed their musical ability by being in the band and orchestra. The sixth grade was divided into three sections, the sponsors of each section being Miss Altfather, Miss Rhoads, and Mr. Smith. UPPER PICTURE liiri!

Photography Club members, taking pictures of the students who are unaware that they are being shot with a camera. All this is part of the work of the club members. Learning how to take pictures and discussing the common mistakes made by an amateur photographer were the two fundamentals learned by the Photography Club. Once each month a lecture was given to the boys with pictures to illustrate the particular phase of photography and the camera they were studying. These lectures were secured by the club from Eastman Kodak Company, of Rochester, New York. Among the various studies made by the club were: camera and adjustmentsg how to make ex- posuresg light, and how it worksg hltersg selecting of filmg lens focusingg use of exposure meter and range finderg taking portraitsg use of artificial lightsg taking action picturesg use of flash bulbs. After a thorough study in each of these topics there h ld b ' s ou e some professional camera men coming from B. B. H. S. In the fall Mr. Igoe took the boys on a field trip. On this expedition they took pictures with good and bad composition. Then, after they were developed, the club discussed the good and the bad points of the prints. In that way they learned how to take a picture with good composition. After they had learned the simpler points of photography the boys were allowed to try more difficult types of picture taking. Among these was the making of lantern slides. Taking special portrait pictures was also part of their work. Mr. Igoe gave them instructions on how properly to use the projector. A little time was spent dis- cussing use of filters to secure cloud effects. You could always see some of the fifteen boys who belonged to Photography Club at the school's activities, snapping pictures. A number of these snapshots were developed and put in the Bervalon. Their officers for this year were: President .......................... ....... ......... R a y Raupach Vice Prerident ....,... .......... J ohn Wilhelm Secretary ..........., Melvin Co k .. . . . . o Trearurer .......... ....... E ddie Deitz l28l It has been proven that our handwriting reveals our own individual personality. Do you take pride in your writing? Apparently some of us still do, at least thirty Penmanship Club members. These boys and girls, to improve their writing further, have taken their extra activity period to improve on various points of the writing technique. Their first task was to practice on the more simple forms. When they were quite familiar with all of these, special design work was given for them to do. The students did them in ovals with different colored inks on special art paper. If properly done, these designs can be made into beautiful pictures worth anyone's time and patience. Miss Walker chose the very best designs from the many produced by the club and posted them in her room. Of course, the only and original purpose of this club was to give students extra time to improve their writing. However, at Christmas time they took a holiday and exchanged gifts during one of the club periods. Everyone must realize that if it weren't for writing we would have none of our cherished manuscripts. The monks gave to the world some X, Penmcmship Club exquisitely beautiful works in the finest of writing with rich embellishments. From the time of the invention of printing, there has been a constant interest in the creation of beautiful types of all kinds and in the work of artists who design the title pages and chapter headings. We, too, know that the pen passed through many progressive stages from the stone point to the iron, bronze, ivory or gold stylus of the Roman, the reed point of Apuleus to the quill of the medieval monk, and finally to the steel pen point and fountain pen of today. The club members do not use any fountain pens in their work, just the simple pen with the steel point. A smooth, lighter, thinner line, necessary for design work, may be obtained with the steel point pen. The club officers elected at the beginning of the school term were: Prerident .............. ........ R obert Monahan Vice Prerident .......... .......... M ary Ellen Hittie Secretary . ............. ................ J anet Smith Treasurer .......... ....,..... H arry Neesham l f--ug Typing C lub Students from the ninth to the twelfth trade g 1 s could be found in room nine the fourth period, Friday afternoon. These boys and girls were under the able instruction of Miss Eby. She had undertaken the task of teaching these students the fundamentals of typing, in case they never had a chan '- ' cc to get any more experience along this particular line of work. This was the second year for Typing Club and we all hope it will become one of our ermanent P activities. Although it is a club, the members derive the same benefit from ' i it as they would from a regular typing class. Participants of this club were non-commercll d ia stu ents out to gain some knowledge of the art of typing. At first glance the typewriter seems only a complicated iec f ' p e o machinery to the in- experienced student with those black keys staring one i h fi A ' n t e ace. However, these fears are soon overcome after a few weeks of instruction in H . nger placement, home keys, and what the num- ber or letter on each kev is After all of these details have been mastered, th e typewriter ceases l30l to be merely a piece of machinery but becomes a part of the student who is operating it. Soon he is t ' ' ' ' yping with as much ease and skill as an experienced typist would use. Speed tests are given to the student every few weeks to help im- prove his accuracy and speed. At Christmas everyone was given a chance to type some intricate original design of his 1 - c wn, to be put on the front of a Christmas card. Some of the designs originated by these people were ll rea y very beautiful and interesting. lf the student had no ideas of his own, he was allowed to choose one from the Typing Club's designing book. M h ' ' ' UC PZICICIICC Zlfld 1I'1gCI1Llll'y, OH the Pilff of the student, had to be applied before his de- sign was something worthwhile. T p e copyist's trade, and the instrument is one of the most valuable labor savin f d ' k he typewriter has done much to hel th 4 . g evices nown, Most standard machines possess the visible writing features, although our own typewriters have the black keys. This feature is to help keep the student from being tempted to look at the key- board. The Dramatics Club had a new sponsor this ear Miss Dunkelberger, one of the newest ad- Y , ditions to the B. B. H. S. faculty. Miss Dunkel- berger, who was very much interested in d matics, had arranged a trainlng course in ra various drills and exercises for these students. These exercises consist of correct breathing, voice exercise, distinct pronunciation and relaxation ex- . . . Ou ercises. If you were to drop in for a visit y ld find their meetings would run something wou like this: first, their business meeting, second, ex- . . , 1 ercises, and third, quotations. You will probab y wonder what is meant by quotations.', Miss Dunkelberger gives a certain number of her ils a assage to learn for recitation, such as a PUP P passage from Shakespeare, then, when they come . . . . . h to class, they recite it and are criticized by t e d d' uss im ortant points of other members an isc p the quotation pertaining to dramatics. After these quotations are thoroughly discussed by the members, they have play rehearsal. The ninth grade boys spent their time working on a very interesting radio play. One of the members, . . . h Helen Long, wrote an original play whic was bl b the members of the Dra- put on in assem y y matics Club. Dramatics Club In April the club presented to the high school a comedy entitled Patty Saves the Day. It was ' b the entire student considered a great success y body. h ld b this club in keep- Programs were also e y ing with the different seasons, Thanksgiving and Christmas. At Christmas time, the club members ' ' h ve exchanged names, then at their party t ey ga gifts to one another. Miss Dunkelberger's present desire is to have a Junior Dramatics Book. With the help of this book, she would be able to work out an advanced course in dramatics for the future members of Dramatics Club. The officers for this year were: Arlene Forney Prerident .,...,..........,.......,..........,.,....,..,,. Secretary .... ........,..,,, M ary Leecy Treasurer ., ..,. ................,... J ean Lepley ' k lb Direclor .... ...,... M iss Dun e erger Rifle Club Ready! Aim! Fire! This was a familiar command given by Mr. Saylor behind the firing line of the B. B. H. S. rifle team. This is the second year that the team has belonged to the National Rifle Association, junior Division. The boys have obtained a charter, with the personal assistance of Mr. Saylor, their instructor, showing their affiliation with the N. R. A. The boys also tried for some of the awards given by the N. R. A. f ' ' , some o which were the Pro-Marksman, Marksman, Marksman First-Class, and Sharp- shooter. The following code of rules was practiced and obeyed by every Rifle Club Member. I will never allow the muzzle of my gun to point at anything which I do not intend to shoot. I will never load my gun when the muzzle is pointed at any part of my body, ,or at any person, nor stand in front of anybody who is loading a gun. I will never cock my gun and pull the trigger for fun. I will never shoot at a flat, hard surface, such as a bottle or similar object, as the bullet is cer- tain to ricochet Cglancej from it. I will never handle a gun without first opening the breech to be sure the gun is empty and look- ing through the bore to see that it is clean. I will never carry my gun loaded except when hunting and will then be sure that it is locked in the safe position. I will never shoot at a song-bird or harmless animal for sport and will always be sure that no wounded game is left to suffer. I will remember that a .22 caliber bullet will travel three-quarters of a mile, or through nine inches of ordinary board and ricochet a long way across the water. I will always put my gun, muzzle first, through a fence before I climb the fence and will climb over between the next two fence posts. I will always give my gun a thorough cleaning as soon as I am through firing. l52l S1 The Art Club met every Wednesday the second period, and due to the shortage of teachers, they had three different sponsors: Mrs. Horne, Mrs. Biamonte, and Miss Altfather, the present one. This club was organized for the students who had a personal interest in art. Here the student had a chance to develop and perfect his talents along any line of artistic work. Each individual had a chance to choose any particular line of art work in which he was interested. . re factors im- Skill, precision, and patience a portant in the field of art. Art is, perhaps, one of the most demonstrative ways of reflecting an individuals deeper moods and thoughts. Mrs. Biamonte explained to the Art Club members h' about the most famous American, somet ing French, and Italian painters. These talks were ' er one because they were eagerly awaited by ev y ' ' h m a better back- VCI'y lI'1CSl'CSI1I'1g and gE1VC I C ground for their own art work. All American Att Club At our school fair could be seen some of the work which the special art students produced. Making masks, molding clay into figures, posters and special designs were among the many differ- ent types of art work displayed by the club. When there was any special work to be done in connection with the class plays or operetta, they helped with it. Through this club the younger students had a chance to display their talents. Though the club was not properly organized until the latter part of the semester, with the help of Miss Altfather the students got together and by working diligently they made something out of this club by the end of the year. There were thirty Art Club members. Instead of having individual mask and marionette Clubs, they simply combined the two, and this year gave All American Art Club. the club a new name ' ar at the begin- They elected officers for this ye ning of the school term. i35l Library Club Some of the things which the member f s o the Library Club were taught in con ' ' nection with the mechanism of the library were: How to prepare new books for circulation. Ho ' w to discharge and charge books. ' How to shelve books. When new books are found in the library, complete with pocket, date slip and all, you can be sure that the Library Club had something to do with it. This particular work was part of the training they received during the club period. The club members also took each new book and opened it, page by page, so that the back of the book would not break when it was later being used by a student. Other periods were spent in giving short plays for the enjoyment of the club members. Book talks were also a part of their programs. Some- times these talks were given by the club members themselves, and at other times by Miss Martin, the librarian and club sponsor. Another interest- ing and novel pastime created by the club w as the I 3 4l holdin . contests were conducted like games. They consisted of matching titles and authors or identifying charac- ters with books. An infallible knowledge was gained from these contests by all of the club members. Unlike the classroom, it was gained by the holding of book contests. g of book contests These book The Library Club was made up of students who were interested in library work and also in books. The members of the club were seventh and eighth grade pupils. In October the club held a Halloween party. Refreshments were served and the rest of the time was spent in playing games. At Christmas they showed the real Christmas spirit by the exchang- ing of gifts. The Librar Club y was considered a great suc- cess this year by all the members, who enjoyed learning all they could about the library. The club officers for this year were as follows: President ..,...............,...,,. .........,...... J ack Tipton Vice Prexident ....... .......... E ugene Horning Secretary ........... ...................... J anet Smith Treasurer .... Anna Mae Johnson Get your partners! Now you may dance with whomever you want to! These expressions were common to the members of Dance Club. Under the able instruction of Mrs. Stone and Mr. Storm- er, the boys and girls of B. B. H. S. have gained more confidence in their dancing, and that is a very important first step for anyone to acquire. However, as important as confidence are the basic steps of dancing taught to the beginners. After the basic steps were learned, a development of the feeling for rhythm, cultivating poise and ease of manner were concentrated on by the club members. Boys and girls from the seventh to the twelfth grades were allowed to join Dance Club this year. It is surprising how quickly the younger students learned to dance. They were as interested in it as the older boys and girls. This club has a larger membership than any other organization in the school. It boasted an enrollment of approximately one hundred and fifty students this year. The procedure of Dance Club ran something like this: boys and girls gathered together in the gym on Wednesday the second period, their regu- lar club period. The boys were then given a 9 5l +411 Dance Club chance to pick a girl for their partner. If they did not pick a partner, their instructors paired them off in couples. Two dances were danced with their partners and two with someone of their own choice. The latter two dances, usually fast numbers, were played for the benefit of our high school jitterbugs. The girls participated in this more than the boys, who seem to like the slow numbers better. Dance Club serves more than the one purpose of teaching students to dance. Besides providing fun and entertainment for the students, it pre- pares the younger boys and girls for their junior and senior prom years. It is a great help, indeed, in making our proms a success. The modern dance records which our school possesses can be traced back to our Dance Club members. They contributed money at different times in the school year for the purchasing of dance records. Not only did they benefit by the purchase, but the whole school could enjoy and dance to them. The records were used at our noon dances and could be procured for any special dances held by the school. Science C lub This year the Science Club did not et started 8 until rather late. Because of the football season h . t err period had to be forfeited in order for the students to see the games. However, they got organized at the end of the football season and everyone got down to work right away. Mr. Stormer, the club sponsor, organized the club into several different groups, each one complete as a club itself with a specific plan for each group. The different groups were as follows: Airplanes Electricity Scientific art work Scientific show for the auditorium Chemical experiments The airplane group spent the greater part of this year building a model with movable controls. They produced the plans for their model from an aeronautical book. The group also built a wing section of an airplane to be used in the demon- stration of the various wing sections and to show different wind pressures. Building recognition d l mo es was another part of their work. These models are used by the Army in training pilots to t ll d'ff ' e i erent types of planes at a distance These planes are painted black or the natural .color of the plane. The elementary laws of electricity were learned by the electricity group. Due to the fact that the members were only junior high school students nothing could be done along the more advanced lines of ele ' ' ' ctricity. They did, however, erect a telegraph set .Making charts for the walls and different science classes was the work of the scientific art ro A ' g up. n important service was rendered to the school through these charts. They were used in the science classes and by the students in their special science work. The Scientific Art work of the girls of the club. With the help of Mr. Stormer they worked out a program to demonstate to the student body Newton's second law, Bernoullis' theorem, bending light, colored light, simple law of electricity, spontaneous com- bustion, smoke screen, and the pendulum. Show was primarily the Last but not least were the chemical ex ri- Pe ments conducted by the older boys of the club T . . . hese boys demonstrated distillation of coal and made colored fire and an incendiary bomb. I3 6l Reading and discussing books were the primary interests of the Book Club members. Twenty- four seventh and eighth grade pupils comprised the group this year. Has it not been said that a book-is one of man's best friends? Edgar A. Guest best portrays this feeling in his poem, My Books and I. My books and I are good old pals: My laughing books are gay, just suited for my merry moods When I am want to play. Bill Nye comes down to joke with me And, Oh, the joy he spreads. just like two fools we sit and laugh And shake our merry heads. When I am in a thoughtful mood, With Stevenson I sit, Who seems to know I've had enough Of Bill Nye and his wit. And so, more thoughtful then I am, He talks of lofty things, And thus an evening we spend Sedate and grave as kings. And should my soul be torn with grief Upon my shelf I hnd A little volume, torn and thumbed, For comfort just designed. K Boolc Club I take my little Bible down And read its pages o'er, And when I part from it I find I'm stronger than before. Some of the books read to the class this year were Lassie Come Home, Matchlock Gun, and A Dog Named Chipsf, The club also presented Lassie Come Homel' to the school library this year. Books are better appreciated and understood after they have been explained and discussed. How to read a book is one of the gifts many of us lack. Too much skimming is done and not enough thorough concentration. Miss Walker, the sponsor of the club, has given her students advice on how to read a book so that they can gain more from it. The officers for Book Club this year were: Prerident ....................... .. ......,.................... Bertha Sass Vice Preridenr ....... ...........,. T eddy Sass Secretary ............ ........ H erbert Hoover Trearurer ....... ....... H omer Smearman 7l i + Q M and M Club The M and M Club of Berlin-Brothersvalley High School was under the sponsorship of Miss Musser and Miss Watson. The club held its meetings every week on Friday the fourth period. The activities for M and M Club this year included the serving of the sports banquet and teachers' lunches, bake sale, selling of Christmas cards. ln addition the girls furnished a living room for the betterment of the home economics department, participated in charity work at Christmas, and presented a program in assembly. Their mothers were also entertained at a banquet given by the girls in October. Due to the war, the club did not attend the State Convention in Hershey this year. Last term the club attended the convention and at that time, Eleanor Turney, one of the club members, was elected State Secretary. On the trip the girls visited many places of interest, including the Gettysburg Battlefield. Since the club is affiliated with the National Home Economics Association, they have had to l58l ids meet certain requirements. These requirements, met whole-heartedly by all the girls in the past year, secured for them the Merit Aw d ar . Through the help of our advisers, the club members hope to be able to reach higher goals in the coming years. The main topic discussed by the girls this year was Women in Defense. Home economics girls and many others ' are interested in this particular subject. They discussed the various positions that women are now holdin si g nce we have entered the war Discussio b . ns a out the Waacs, the Waves, war nurses, and other services were eagerly witnessed by the club memb ers and many were very interesting. Helpful programs were arranged for them. A few girls from B B H S went S . . . . to hanks- ville and gave their home economics club, organized by Miss Menges, the highlights of the clubls work ' ' at the beginning of the term. When the club was organized at the beginning of the year, the officers initiated the new members into their midst with the usual formal initiation. We're in the army now, we're not behind the plow. Ot are we? The Future Farmers of B. B. H. S. are very much behind the plow in scientific farming. Entries from the F. F. A. of Berlin-Brothersvalley High School have become a familiar sight at our annual school fair and at the state farm show. The club has become an all-around social or- ganization. In the past year all the meetings have been conducted according to parliamentary procedure. A fine record was achieved by the F. F. A. this year. All of the thirty boys who took agriculture belonged to the F. F. A.-in other words, one hundred per cent participation. Dorlin Hay and Harry Hillegass, both juniors, were awarded the Keystone Degree at Harrisburg in january. This was quite an achievement in itself because this award is rarely gained by any boy until he is graduated. Some of the numerous activities indulged in by the club members were the holding of ping- pong tournaments, and dart baseball and basket- ball games. For their contribution toward the Defense movement they collected five tons of paper and magazines. The boys also chose teams and held a magazine sales campaign. The sales amounted to 3200 worth of subscriptions. l .., vip . 1 Future Farmers of America In October the boys initiated the new members into the club. The boys bought new jackets, with the ofiicial emblem and the name of their chapter on the back of the jacket. These jackets are very attractive, with their bright blue and gold colors, symbolizing our own F. F. A. chapter. Articles for the school and local newspapers were written by the club reporters. A degree team initiated all of the boys from the county for the Future Farmers degree at Somerset in January. The annual parent-and-son banquet was held by the club in March. This year they had eleven county project winnersg entered the judging con- tests at State Collegeg and presented a program for the Lions Club. Five boys presented this pro- gram, which consisted of the discussing of project work, farm mechanics and various phases of the agriculture curriculum.

Igoe Chico Club Another new year for the Chico Club brought more excitement, fun and laughter for the girls of B. B. H. S. who are members. This club is composed of girls from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, who are initiated into the or- ganization at the beginning of the school year. Any girl with a scholastic rating of no lower than a C is eligible to join. The three sponsors, elected by the girls, are Miss johnson, Miss Musser, and Miss Eby. The girls meet once a month at the school house or at the home of one of the members. The officers for this year were installed at the Chico Club's annual dinner dance held at Holly- wood Inn on May 23, 1942.

Mary Musser At Christmas the club members got to ether 8 and, with the help of Miss Martin, their junior Red Cross representative, filled fifteen Red Cross boxes with presents and sent them to children in foreign countries. On New Year's Eve they held an informal dance at Hollywood Inn. The girls decorated the Inn quite festively. Refreshments were served, and they spent the evening dancing and playing cards, and games. Strictly a girls' organization, this club was organized to help give its members a more com- plete and better understanding of art and litera- ture. Their meetings were usually conducted with a program consistent with the club's objectives. The girls spent many of their meetings study- ing and discussing the development of poise, and the ability to it socially into a group of boys and girls their own age or with older people. To be able to carry on a discussion with any one suc- cessfully so that they are welcome guests anywhere was also included in their programs for this year. The girls always plan an annual spring dance and various other social functions for their school year. However, because of the present war con- ditions they could not have some of their usual social functions this year. l40l Each Wednesday a group of girls gathers in room fifteen. They have as their motto Les Amies, which means The Friends. The meetings are opened by reading Scripture, prayer and group singing. A short business meeting is held and special entertainment numbers are presented. It sounds very easy, but to be in on one of the business discussions would show the real worth of the organization. One of the projects was making shower aprons in khaki color for the faculty members who entered the armed service during the year. Also, the club sends two girls to camp during the sum- mer months. This club is responsible for the mouth-watering weiners and the candy and the coca-cola that was sold during football games to hungry, excited fans. At noontime the candy stand was in charge of the Girl Reserves. What would the school do without the cheerios or potato chips or candy bars that give a finishing touch to a lunch and give that certain zip,' for the afternoon classes? hui.-A irl Reserfves One of the aims of the club was to plan worth- while programs and parties. The most outstand- ing party was the Mother and Daughter Banquet. Instead of having a church prepare the meal this year, the girls themselves made the refreshments, The Council Women of Berlin were guests, and talks were given by the President of the Council and the advisers of the group. Susan Carol Grumbling was chosen mascot of the club at this meeting. There was a Christmas party at which they exchanged gifts. Even Santa was there, but it's been rumored that Bob Fogle was the guilty man. Then, too, at the Initiation Party, the new members got a good ducking and paddling The oflicers of the club are as follows: Prexident .,,......................,,.......,...........,.., .....

Because of this we feel it entirely fitting that we honor them in this 1943 issue of the Bervalon. Several from our own class have already entered or will do so after graduation. Underclassmen, too, are well represented in various branches of the Service. Names of people entering the service after the script of this book went to the printer could not be included. We salute those who are now serving and the many who will serve. May the principles of education which they received at Berlin-Brothersvalley High School be an advantage to themg they are now fighting to maintain these selfsame princi- ples. With a feeling of great pride and respect, we extend this tribute to them. l42l SALIJTE TO SERVICE rf mme 1938 Kenneth C.

M r. and Mrs. Lehman History has been made! This is the first year that Bervalon has gone through a year of ration- ing, priorities, conservation orders and war. Any member of the staff can relate tales of hardship and sacrifice in order to get a yearbook published which would come out on schedule-one that would be interesting and attractive to the Berlin- Brothersvalley High School students. The goal of the staff has been to make the book your book, as well as ours. The Editor-in-Chief has spent many hours and days to keep the ball rolling, and also to keep the staff rolling. Write-ups, pictures, deadlines, colors, art, money, subscriptions, and business matters were some of the headaches experienced by all. But not everything was a headache. Having fun was another prominent motto of the group. Each one has profited from the experience of helping to publish the book. Each member worked with the others as a team to give the school another volume to add to its edition of annual memories. Thus by work and fun, this book is made possible for you. i461 Something new has been added to B. B. H. S. It was first a rumor, then a reality, now it's the new, revised, improved school paper. The talk of the town, when school started, was the contest to rename the paper. Hi-Views was buried deep in some unknown place and the Mountain-Ear became the new name of the newspaper. Harry Hillegass won the contest by presenting the win- ning name. He received the book Top Kick as the prize. The whole staff worked hard this year to fulfill the five aims and goals: To make you read the newspaper. To eliminate stale news. To play up personalities. To make the paper more like a real newspaper. To take a stand on important school issues. To accomplish their worthy purpose, these new editorial positions were added to the staff: Class Editor, Feature Editor, and Exchange Editor. Thus a more varied journal was read by B. B. H. S. School spirit, personalities, Gabby, fashions, humor and news were the subjects that reached the typists and then the print. Miss Smith, as sponsor, worked diligently in guiding the new members into their first experience of journalism. Motmtam-Ear Staff Editor-in-Chief ..................................

Imhorf Betty Myers Richard Witmer Lois Dickey Billy Webreck Paul Beal Shirley Gower Alice Bingner P ,A Band B. B. H. S. blue and white and the high school band are like two peas in a pod. Where school spirit is wanted, send the band. The new military style blue uniforms with white belts and decorations not only make a striking scene, but also have inside of them the stuff that makes a band progress-musicians. As they march in straight, exact formation, the snappy drum majorettes keep stepping high while they twirl those shiny metal barons. The efficient and attractive drum major keeps the whole machine working smoothly. There she goes, right face, blows her whistle, steps lively down the field with head high. Every member of the band follows suit, and what a spectacle we behold. The band is appreciated by the community, also. It has been a vital part of many community functions. On Memorial Day and for the Com- munity Picnic, the band gave concerts. What would a picnic be without a band and the big bass drum to give a down beat that is heard by young and old alike? For the young it sets the tempo for heartbeats pounding in excited rhythm caused by the eats, fun and games. For the older l-431 folks it means memories of their youth and the many times a band played for them to march and be gay. By observing closely, you see various small and large feet cooperating with that bass drum down beat. A patriotic emphasis was added to the dedica- tion of the Service Board Honor Roll by the presence of the band and its stirring marches. The two directors were Mr. Lumbard and Mr. Davis. This gave the band unexpected advantage. Experience of playing under two directors and being able to cooperate with both leaders were learned by each member of the band. At football games, the band was always on the beam. It was always there on time, ready to give the fellows a winning spirit. Snappy tunes brightened' the spirits of the fans also. The band also gave an assembly concert. The overtures, marches, novelty numbers and medleys that they played presented a variation of mood and tempo, proving that the ability of the or- ganization to play professionally was first rate. This year the high school orchestra has kept its name upon the top of the honorable list of important and instructive activities. To do this, each member had to cooperate at practices and each one had to play to the best of his ability. Each Wednesday the string section tunes up and joins in with the brass, the woodwinds, the bass section and the drums to blend many notes to- gether, thus producing an effect pleasing to the ear of the listener. Such a unity in playing enabled the group to play many types of musical scores. Fantasies, dances, overtures and marches are some of the commendable types of work which the orchestra mastered. What is a play without music? We don't have to imagine such a situation because the orchestra is always on hand, fully and ably prepared, to en- tertain the audience while the curtain is drawn. At the faculty and senior plays, the orchestra was there to do its part. You say, What is its part? Well, the orchestra sets the mood for the audi- ence and also gives plenty of extra heartbeats to thrilled and excited actors and actresses. They know that the last note means curtain and then action! l49l -t. Urcltestra The orchestra had a farewell party for Mr. Lumbard. The party was held in the home eco- nomics department and the meal was prepared by the home economics girls. A gift was presented to Mr. Lumbard. Although no elaborate speeches were made, every instrumental student joined in the sentiment of regret at losing the conductor who started most of them on their musical careers. After spending several weeks without an in- strumental teacher, the students eagerly antici- pated the arrival of Mr. Davis, the new conductor from Indiana State Teachers College. Mr. Davis entered Berlin-Brothersvalley on january 25, stepping into the vacancy with admirable ease and capability. His aims for a beginning were to get along with the orchestra and for the or- chestra to get along with him. Plans to continue band, orchestra and individual lessons were set up as before. His hopes were to keep the ability and prestige of the organization progressing. Each student helped to cooperate and each one worked in harmony with the wishes of Mr. Davis. A year in orchestra was well spent. Mixed Chorus Music refreshes the soul is a good motto for the Mixed Chorus. This is an elective course and thus each member is there because he wants to be. This makes a pleasant atmosphere in which to sing. The way to end a day is exemplified by the forty members that come from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Four days a week they spend the sixth period harmonizing in song. lt is an ideal way to end a day of study, tests, and work! lt lifts their spirits and creates a finer ex- perience for them. Under the direction of Miss johnson, notes become beautiful music and blended voices give life to strains of melody. The chorus verified its good name at several performances. At the December community meeting, they sang O Holy Night, joy to the XX!orld, and I Wish You a Merry Christmas. After this meeting, the whole chorus observed the old Yuletide custom of caroling. The group, warmly clad in scarfs, hats, gloves, and merry hearts of good will, walked through the streets of Berlin, stopping often to sing out Christmas cheer and blessings. Eight members of the chorus were picked to sing as an octette. Elaine Hay, Miriam Forney, Pauline Roth, Phyllis Dively, Robert Gnagey, Gene Blubaugh, Dickey Broeseker, and Robert Shultz comprised the group. They sang for the Lions Club, where Come to the Fair and I Passed by Your Window brought signs of much approval by the men of the club. Also this oc- tette sang as entertainment for the Somerset County School Directors Meeting which was held in the high school during November. Songs with spirit, songs with humor, hymns and anthems, folk songs and classical numbers were the varied types of music that the chorus mastered. None will forget the beautiful Bless This House or I Wish You a Merry Christmas with its figgy pudding. The biggest event of the year was the produc- tion of an operetta. Practices had to be held during class periods. Thus it proved more than mere entertainmentg it became a study to be mastered to perfection by the whole chorus. A valuable activity in Berlin-Brothersvalley High School is the junior Chorus. This activity, which meets every Wednesday morning, is an excellent opportunity for the younger students of the high school to develop their ability in music. These ninety songbirds come from the sixth, sev- enth, and eighth grades. The younger students are very grateful for this chance to use their voices in singing, because the Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Chorus are not open to them. The group is sponsored by Miss johnson. As she directs the children and creates a sense of appreciation for fine music in them, she is bound to envision a future with many voices of excep- tional value. She can anticipate these voices as the bulk of the Mixed Chorus in future years. This is the developing time of their voices, and when under the direction of a capable leader, each voice should become better in tone, quality, and exactness. The Junior Chorus sang for the Christmas as- sembly. They sang carols telling of the Christmas story. They were justified in feeling a proud Qu-......h.. .ltmior Chorus thrill as they performed, for the carols they sang were sweet and clear as they rang out. What sweeter music can we bring Than a carol, for to sing The birth of this our Heavenly King? -Herrick As these students sing, they are unconsciously experiencing the gradual acquirement of the ability to sing with a group as well as individu- ally. To sing in a group does require more apti- tude because the individual must tone his voice to a level where it will blend with the others, so as to improve the singing rather than to hinder. Also, this is a lesson in cooperation-cooperzv tion in singing together and following one leader. Starting on the first beat and stopping together, singing loud or soft, breathing correctly and enunciating properly-all these are fundamentals that any director expects of a student. With such training, this group of singers learns and improves so as to justify the name of Chorus E I Girls Chorus For a student to elect her activities that she feels she will enjoy most fully is a privilege that many girls have appreciated and an opportunity that they have grasped with a great amount of enthusiasm. This enthusiasm was expressed in singing by the members of the Girls Chorus. rus consisted of girls from the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. Each Friday they met in room eight. Under the capable direction of Miss johnson, they sang the melodies that they learned. The cho Somehow, a host of treble voices has ja certain sweetness and charm that a group of mixed voices cannot create. The notes seem to float above your head on wings of song. To add some variety, the group sang in two-part harmony. Sometimes l52l they even added a third part that added a rich color to the song stories. This was more inter- esting than singing in unison all the time. It gave a certain satisfaction to blend voices of dif- ferent depth into a harmonious, b ll-l' ' The types of songs most enjoyed were folk songs of distant lands. The English hunting songs of tally-ho, the Spanish ballads with the typical Spanish lilting rhythm, and the American negro folk songs are all favorites of these singers. They have no fame because they never per- formed in public. This deserves praise and merit because it takes more initiative to study music and learn songs when there is no good except the personal enjoyment received from participation, than it does to practice for a performance where line music would be acclaimed by the outside world. e ike refrain.

Again the faculty dropped its school marm dignity and came forth with a presentation crammed full of hilarious gaiety and laughter. The cast worked well together and each character portrayed his part vividly. Nobody can question the integrity of placing Everybody Works But Father among the list of successful dramatic productions of Berlin-Brothersvalley High School. It was directed by Miss Elinor Glessner. The cast was as follows: Mr. Hadley Arhton ,..,...,.... ,.....,,.,.. G eorge Dively Mrr. Ashton ,................. ,......,..

Mary Ellen Smith The plot centers about Hadley Ashton, who leaves his home and refuses to work. He returns home to the surprise of everyone, but just as they settle down to life with father, he announces that he came home not to work, but for a vacation. ii Everybody Works But Father Mrs. Ashton's brother Roger is not very sympa- thetic towards Mr. Ashton and he does not con- ceal his feelings. This makes the family resent his presence. Dale Ashton is young, beautiful, and very much interested in her men friends. Her energetic ad- mirer, Elton Barnes, is the egotistical type who is waiting for Come the Revo1ution when happy days will be again. Buzz, the holy terror of the family, keeps Dale in a dither over his smart re- marks at embarrassing moments. He also gets plenty of laughs from the audience. Dale meets Alfred Wheadon in her employers ofiice and finds true love in his direction. Malvina Weatherby, the town deb, tries to break it up, but she doesn't succeed. Finally Mr. Ashton comes into the limelight by inventing a wipe off shaving cream that brings fortune to all the family, plenty of worries for Roger, who is in the razor business, and a job for Elton Barnes, who reformed before any revolu- tions came. It all ends happily, and even Buzz gets attention from his girl friend Cherry. The Patsy The seniors of the class of '43 were proud of the production The Patsy that they presented on December ll The la of h . p y umorous dialogue and mounting action was directed by Miss Dun- k ' ' elberger and Miss Eby. The story was about Patsy fjoyce Saylorj, a vivacious lovable girl who was alwa th - , , . .ys e under dog to her sophisticated, selfish, older sister Grace 1Miri. F am orneyj. Grace broke her engagement with Tony Anderson 1Robert Gnageyj, who was a handsome engineer, but who didnt have as much money as the socialite, Billy Caldwell CCh. l' S' at ie chrockj, who also gave Grace an en- gagement ring. Mr. and Mrs. Harrington, the parents of Grace and Patsy, were played by Robert Shultz and Ph ll' ' ' y is Horning, respectivelyi Mrs. Harring- ton constantly wept because she desired an auto- mobile. She soon became fearful that so h' met ing was wrong with Patsy's head because of odd phrases h' h . w ic she kept repeating from time to time. There is no use crying over spilt milk because there's enough water in it alread y was one of the often repeated sayings that sent Mrs. Harrington into frantic tears. Mr. Harrington was concerned b ' ' ' a out Patsys condition, but Grace was so busy trying to impress Billy Caldwell that sh . e didn't find that Patsy was out for Tony Anderson. Tony and Patsy found that they had a great deal in co ' mmon. Tony explained a theory of love and how a girl would be able to get her mm 'f 2 1 she really wanted him. They decided to experi- ment with the theory and it worked. Patsy was able to get her name in the papers h t rough a contest which she won by cheating. The publicity almost broke Gr'1ce's en 1 . gagement with Billy Caldwell. Sadie Buchanan Cjune Rossi d ' oesnt help matters any, and Grace did break her engagement with Billy. Grace then decided to get Tony back but Pats h d h V y a ung out a Keep off sign on Tony, which enraged Grace. Mr. O'Flaherty tDickey BroesekerD,a friend of P , . atsy s, explained that the contest was won fairl ' Y after all. Paul Stahl was the highhanded taxi driver. Mr. Harrington had a good laugh when he d. iscovered that the strange remarks by Patsy were learned from a book. The plot ended happily for all concerned. Mr. Harrington secured the co- operation of his wifeg Grace got Billy back, and Patsy landed Tony. l54l The time of year that the junior Class shows its ability and progress is in the junior Class Play. This year the class presented the well known and much presented play, Ever Since Eve. The plot of humorous action and dialogue brought much praise to the cast as they portrayed the parts. The action centers about Johnny Clover CRob- ert Tiptonb, who is the handsome editor of the High School newspaper. He takes his job so seriously that his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clover CGene Blubaugh and Doris Swarnerj, transform his nursery into an office. Now he's officially in the business. He shares his journalism troubles such as getting money, Writeups, and front covers, with Spud Erwin fStatler Millerj, his best friend, who is a Casanova with the ladies. Every- thing runs smoothly until the principal, Henry Quinn CDick Shultzl, and Martha Willard CBetty McKenzieD, a teacher, decide to put some girls on the newspaper staff. Susan Blake CMary Musserj, an admirer of Johnny's, gets a strong hold on the newspaper strings, for she is the girl who is elected to the staff. This makes the boys furious. Betsy Erwin CNellie Brantl is Susan's vivacious assistant, together they make havoc Ever Since Eaze' ' with the newspaper. Susan begins a barter sys- tem in order to get money for a three-color cover. The plot thickens just as Lucybelle Lee CHelen Louise Saylorb appears and turns on her southern charm. All the boys including the football cap- tain, Preston Hughes Cjohn McGaryJ, and five linemen CPaul Moore, Robert Mowery, Ray Martz, Francis Maust, and Dorlin Hayj go head over heels for Lucybelle. Johnny and Spud are interested, too, but they get the measles and have to miss the fun for awhile. Susan takes over the newspaper when Johnny is sick. The result is a mixed-up sensational blunder, that keeps the plot going at a merry pace. The Police Officer Simmons Cjohn Wil- helmb keeps order with a loud bark and a very soft heart. ' A big dance is to be held, and Johnny and Spud plan to share Lucybelle for the evening. Susan almost gives up the ship in Johnny's di- rection, but she anchors him just in time. Every- one gets along happily and even the newspaper turns into a success. a Schoolboy Patrol A mother sends her child to school, He walks alone, not with a mob- And is she worried? not at all- Schoolboy Patrol is on the job.

To see the patrol at work gives a feeling of admiration for the boys who will spend time for other people's safety. A well-organized and well-ordered system res p ents itself when Schoolboy Patrol goes into action. The patrol is seen morning, noon, and night on the job. They direct pedestrian trafic They are on u d g ar at all times to insure against acci- dents of any kind. The bus patrolmen have just as important and vital a job At each b . us stop, they assist the younger students across the highways. They are on the alert to keep order in the buses and to see to the general welfare of all who are transported. There are two patrolmen on each bus. The members of th e patrol wear white badges that are supplied by the Automobile Association, This group was organized in September under Mr. Igoe's supervision. Each patrol member re- ceives, as a reward, a season ticket to the Wedn d ' es ay night shows at the Blue Ridge Theater.

S. activities-in fact, a very new and novel feature awaited by every student in the high school for the past few years. A dance band! 3 lt is probably more appreciated by every- one because we have had to wait for it. It is well on the road to success and with every new appearance we are more and more encouraged by the players' attempts. Their first performance in front of the school audience was received with numerous favorable comments. They proved capable of producing music we liked. Our en- couragement inspired them to greater goals. Mr. Lumbard's sudden departure during the middle of the year hindered their advancement temporarily. However, the new music director, Mr. Davis, has proved quite capable of directing them in their new work. The dance band performed during intermission of the senior class play. This was their first appearance before an audience other than the student body. The dance band is made up of students as far down in the grades as the seventh and up to the twelfth. We are very proud of the fact that we have such talented students among us, and may they continue to be appreciated in this way. These students are also members of our high school band and orchestra. When performing, they are attired in white shirts, blue ties and blue skirts or trousers. We sincerely hope that Mr. Davis will keep up his good work in directing our new dance band and may the coming years bring them more suc- cess. So, dance band members, remember, we are all behind you one hundred per cent. The dance band members were: Phyllis Broeseker ..... Saxophone Eleanor Sweitzer ...., ..........,,,...,..,.....,...

On this sunny day Coach Kaufman took the squad to Boswell for their game. It was a hot fight and the boys sacrificed a 27-0 defeat to get their lirst playing experience which proved mighty helpful in other games. October 2. Meyersdale traveled to Berlin to win a 53-0 victory. The Mountaineers were out-classed in this loosely fought contest by the heavy line and strong backlield of the Raiders. October 9. The Mountaineers were host to the Pine Township green and white. Our squad had high hopes of bringing in a victory in this game, but being too sure never counts. Conse- quently, the Pines brought home the bacon and scored their one and only touchdown. They went home with a 6-0 victory. October 16. A much-talked-about fight was held at Somerset on a rainy day. The field was quite muddy. The game was won by Somerset in a rough-and-tumble scrimmage, 33-0. October 25. Boswell came to B. B. H. S. to play a return game which they won. Our boys were in the light one hundred per cent and really played ball. Nobody will forget how Bob Concini ran 58 yards to make the first touchdown. Then, to the delight of the crowd, two more touchdowns were scored by the B. B. H. S. fighters. This sud- den burst of scoring began too late in the game to give us a victory, but the score 19-48 showed the aggressiveness of Berlin. October 30. Meyersdale again took the Moun- taineers for a loop and settled at the whistle for a 64-0 score. B. B. H. S. had a crippled team to present, and guards were put in as quarterbackg but still the fellows fought their hardest to keep the opponents score from rising. November ll. A cold Armistice Day brought Armagh to Berlin, and chilly cheers greeted the punts and passes of this game. Armagh defeated B. B. H. S. by a 28-0 score. K6 Ol Yeah team fight! Up, down, in, around, twirl, swirl, and a big jump! You say, What is all that racket and what kind of chorus dancers are these? Well, guess once and that's right. It's the B. B. H. S. cheerleaders in action!! That noise you consider a racket is the kind of music that a football team rates in the groove. lt's the harmony that gives them pep The rhythm that puts the fight in them. The volume that gives them something to hght for. All voices yelling at once surely do give the team a win- ning spirit. Did you ask how they keep together? Well, it's those peppy, vivacious, and full of vim and vigor cheerleaders on the job. Every motion and action they make means new encouragement to the team because thats what makes hundreds of voices blend together into one big yell. The cheerleaders, in eye-catching blue corduroy skirts, jerkins and beanies and crisp white blouses, make a spirited sextet as they show off the B. B. H. S. colors! Cheerleaders This year, due to the war, the only chance these six girls had to let loose with cheers was at football games. The postponement of basketball games was sad news for them. They surely did have the spirit to yell. Joyce Saylor was the only varsity leader. The five new girls were picked by Mrs. Stone, who also directed the cheering practices so well. The five girls were Miriam Forney, Betty McKenzie, Anna Philip, Stella Nider and Colleen Bordner. Rain or shine, they started each game with Hand car, Push car as the fellows ran on the held. As the whistle blew, they coupled up and gave a lucky send-off with Hit 'em high, Hit 'em low, Come on team, Let's GO! All through the game, they gave advice such as Hold that line or Fight, team, fight or Hit 'em hard. Then they demanded with the new, tricky yell We want a touchdown. These girls were on the trig- ger every minute. Yes, sir, that roar you heard was induced by the B. B. H. S. Cheerleaders.

There were plenty of high hopes for a big team and a place in a league with other schools, but the transportation problem did not permit B. B. H, S. to travel, thus the interest stayed mainly within these walls. lt's intramural basketball! A schedule was made that lasted from january 5 to February 16. Each of the seventeen home rooms picked its winning team from the boys most capable and those with ability to gain a victory from their opponents. Games were played immedi- ately after school hours, a good chance for energetic scholars to let off stored-up steam. The teams were as follows: 12X -Gnagey, Cober, Brant, Boyer, Keller. Concini. l2Y-Stahl, Sechler, Smearman, Shultz. llX llY IOX lOY 9X-- -Brant, Hay, Concini, E. Hillegass, H.
