Eaafrcfafg ' The efficiency and skill with which our school is kept running smoothly is due largely to the efforts of a group of public-spirited citizens, our school board, who give willingly of their time and ability to aid and benefit us. Chosen by the voters, it is the duty of these seven members to see that our school is run wisely and with the greatest value to our community. Long before our school year begins, they have begun work on our many prob- lems: the selection of our administra- tion heads, provision of a competent faculty, financing of our yearly pro- gram, the determining of our widely varied curriculum and consideration of any improvements to be made. Recently, too, our school board has found many ways in which to aid the war effort. The basement of the Pa- triot Street School has been remodel- ed and reconditioned, and is now be- ing used by the Red Cross as its headquarters, both for surgical dress- ings and as a production center. The defense courses which have been set up in our school to help in the furthering of the defense pro- gram are also the results of efforts of our board of education. Recently, with a view toward ex- pansion, our school board has pur- chased the forty-three acre Spangler farm adjoining the school grounds. This farm will be used as a laboratory, and as a project in connection with the vocational agriculture program. This summer it will be made into a victory garden. Somerset, now a third class school district, elects seven members to its board of education. They are Dr. Charles C. Barchfield, presidentg Mr. Iohn W. Gnagey, vice president: Mr. Harry S. Wolfersberger, secretaryp Dr. C. I. Hemminger, treasurerp Mr. W. W. Westfall, Mr. Iames O. Courtney, and Mr. Miles Manges. Working tirelessly in their desire to improve our school, they have helped to make our school life enjoyable and profitable. To them we extend our sin- cerest praise and our deepest appre- ciation. aes ahleld Pe dtMIhWGgyV minger. Treasurer: Mrs. W W Westfall, Mr. james O. Cout y l l I DR. HOMER W. HAY Superintendent of Somerset Public Schools General in charge of our army of eleven hundred is Mr. Griffith. It is with fear and trembling that we ans- wer a summons to his inner sanctum. for he has an uncanny knack of dis- covering our little weaknesses fgoing A. W. O. L.l Our summons may often bring good news, but, if not, we in- variably leave his presence with the conviction that our punishment is un- doubtedly deserved. To his present duties of commanding the affairs of our school has recently been added the teaching of a radio code course. Mr. Griffith can be counted on to keep our school up to date and fighting fit O O 5 n Dr. Hay, as commander-in-chief of Somerset's schools, deftly carries into execution plans mapped out for the administration of the schools. In his quiet office he is found ready and will- ing to help us in planning our own personal campaigns for the school year. And when we leave, with his understanding advice and cheery smile, our loads have magically van- ished from our backs. Not only in the seclusion of his inner office does our commander-in-chief reign supreme, but in the classrooms and in the halls, by merely raising his hand, he can still the clamor of our noisy troop. Dr. Hay is not only our commander-in- chief, he is also our friend. MR. WILLIAM E. GRIFFITH Principal of Somerset High School UI It I.I'llIII'1ItS IN UI It I ItLII'I'.

Students are receiving sound backgrounds in the basic courses of high school that will prepare them to serve their country in wartime and in the peacetime to follow. ENGLISH In this department students receive a sound course of English and literature sup- plemented by work in creative writing, pub- lic speaking, and dramatics. The instructors are Miss Serene, Miss Gilbert, Miss Snyder, Mrs. Horner, Miss Miller, Mrs. Glessner. SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Mr. Menser gives seventh and eighth graders a course in mathematics that pre- pares them for the higher mathematic courses taught by Mr. Frysinger and Mr. Griffith. Mr. Rininger, Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ebersole, Mr. Pile, and Miss Meyers are the instructors of the science department. Patiently, they explain to students the wonders, mysteries, and intricacies of science. SOCIAL SCIENCE Civics, world history, American history, problems of democracy-all are delved into by the students of this department under the instruction of Miss Long, Mr. Schrock, Mrs. Trent, Mr. Hopkins, and Mr. Dietz. -q LANGUAGE--MUSIC-FINE ARTS Miss Truxal makes a dead language a live one for Latin students, and Mr. Ringler teaches French, accent and all, to juniors and seniors. Students interested in music receive cap- able instruction from Mr. Stineman, director of instrumental music, and Mrs. Meyer, vocal instructor. Students in the art department learn to create with their hands under Miss Rippman's instruction. AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY Mr. Billick and Mr. Cleeves do their part to train students of agriculture to be good Future Farmers of America. Mr. Flick, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Billick pre- pare boys-and girls-in the various shoo courses to take their place in the field ot industry. Mass Anim Kuttcr.

Miss Stern, Miss Romcmoski, and Miss Lois Davis train future stenographers, typists, and salesmen. The teachers of the home economics de- partment are Miss Rummel, Miss Redioot, cmd Miss Ruth Davis. Sewing, cooking, and all the other elements of homemaking are taught to the girls taking home economics courses. Stu- dents eating in the cafeteria receive daily samples of the girls' cooking which is good proof oi their instructors' capabilities. PHYSICIAL EDUCATION Now, more than ever before, is it essential to have a strong mind in a strong body. It is Mrs. Lyons' and Mr. Kerin's responsi- bility to see that the students of SHS de- velop strong bodies. LIBRARY Miss Maier is always on the alert to help hundreds of students who are in and out of the library every Week. She is an excellent guardian of our library's sixty-eight hundred books. 7465 CLASS WAYNES SHAULIS BETTY McKEE - IANE WALTERS - MIRIAM SHAULIS It does not seem possible that only four years ago, we, the seniors, were mere draftees in Somerset High School. As buck privates our superiors paid little attention to us, but the following year we attracted the attention ot the student body with our military decora- tions tor the Sophomore-Senior Dance. . GZM4 - - President Vice President - Secretary - Treasurer OFFICERS And now in the spring of 1943 we are graduating into a warring world. Claude McClintock, one of our boys, has already entered the armed forces. There will be others. Nevertheless our hope for a future peace is high. We shall try to do our part in making it and keeping it.

CLASS OFFICERS IAMES CRITCHFIELD ---- President WARREN LATSHAW - - - Vice-President ROSALINE BRANT - - Secretary-Treasurer funded 61644 THE JUNIORS' TRAINING Three years ago the present junigs en- tered Somerset High School somewhat tak- en back by their new duties. Instead of the usual, Hi there, Greenie, they were met with, Get to work there, Rookie! Were they dazed? Yes sir, but they got busy immediately. Their' new commanding offi- cer was Bob Morin. From that time on they have persevered, and so have gained many promotions because of their stick-to-itive- ness. As buck privates they served mess to the hungry football fans as a means of financing! dance for the seniors, and what Mdance! Their circus, directed every four years by Miss Truxal, was reproduced this year and proved again to be a high success. With Iimmie Critchfield as the C. O. for the next two years many outstanding events took place. As sophomores they presented O' numerous unforgettable skits and plays. Large numbers belonged to the band, or-' chestra, and the choruses. Sports were certainly along their line-football, basket- ball, and track. This year their class play was a comedy version ot The Taming of the Shrew. Very fine actors, those juniors! Uncle Sam will be well pleased when. he looks around and notices three of our seventeen year old juniors in his mighty armed forces-Iohn Whipkey, Donald Squak Glessner, and Edward Buck Bailey, all in the Navy. As if giving up their fellow men wasn't,enough, the juniors did their share to help the Allies by selling de- fense stamps and collecting scrap, as well as keeping up the morale by participating in other civilian defense activities. 1 1 1 a A 3, .

They dig right into any job or amusement with the same smiles on their laces as if one gave them as much pleasure as the other. Charles Norris had the pleas- ure ot leading this class as freshmen. They were well represented at all the dances and were anything but the usual run of shy ireshies. Many of our familiar orange and black band uniforms were donned by these boys and girls as soon as they could get fitted for them. The orchestra claims a portion oi their talent which will prove to be a valuable asset in future years. In Mr. Diller's presentation of the operetta, the Chimes of Normandy, he found these musical sophomores indispensable. The actors and actresses of this fine class may be found in the Iunior Dramatics Club which proudly presented them in many assembly programs. Pep? Are you looking for pep? They have it all on the cheerleading squad composed mostly of members of this class-Lois Statler. Betty Ann Fridy, Dorothy Bender, Barbara Ream and Helen Lalferty. At football games last fall the girls served refreshments--soft drinks, and piping hot weiners smothered in onions. Excellent bleacher service, too. In the field of sports the boys are really prominent. Of the Varsity Eleven tour were sophomores-Howard Christner, Iohn Foley, Charles Vogel, and Bill Kebblish. The I. V. basketball team was tour to one in favor of the sophomores. Charles Snyder, Ruby Flick, William Schrock raise 'AOld Glory afwifzanan Glau THE FRESHMEN'S SPIRIT Last fall the doors of our school were opened to a new group of energetic young recruits. Little did they know what was be- fore them. Putting their hands to the plow, they were determined to make the best of a new adventure. Now we see the results of this determination. The freshmen are becoming well trained serv- icemen--learning to do their duty in the way it helps their countrymen most. Many h . ave, by now, proved their ability in play- inging, dancing, and acting. Others are keeping up school spirit by being cheerleaders. We know th t a more members ot the freshmen class will show their talents in the are beginning to ing instruments, in s near future. Many of the new recruits have attend- ed the sports events and have done much to . . increase the players morale. At all the 30 i dances the student body is beginning to see that it takes the latest draitees to bring out the true art of fine dancing. Be- sides proving their scholastic ability, the freshmen have been taking part in many phases of war work-participating in scrap drives, helping their iellowmen as and doing their bit in Iunior Commandos, the Iunior Red Cross. Also, many of the boys of the class are fine Boy Scouts. To do a job well, such a good start is necessary. So, freshmen, continue to do you know how. With your job the best apologies to Mr. Lincoln and his renown- ed Gettysburg Address, The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can they did here. never forget what , Z 1 l 'CSSQa331, sQ3.ga Q H f A s Ty fgasagaifg 3 Q l' ?z ! fx?

They agree that the best tactic is to start out with the proper armament to do away with any opposing force. Being good scholars, the class will natu- rally have many to choose from in decid- ing who will hold the banner just a bit higher when the American Legion pre- sents its award to the selected boy and girl. The eighth graders, like their upper- classmen, also enjoy dancing, sports com- petition, acting, and music. A toast to the coming freshmen-MAY YOU KEEP YOUR BANNER HIGH! SEVENTH GRADE Although listed as the youngest of our force preparing ior combat duty in future life. the seventh graders are swiftly getting ready for action. They are using education as their chief weapon, and intend to store up its benefits until they may concentrate on a definite future work. Although with us for such a short time, many have already portrayed their talents. Iack Revello, who played the part of the small boy in the Christmas play, Christo- pher's Candle, delighted the audience with his ability. The assembly program -of the seventh grade, witnessed by the en- tire student body, revealed to the audience that here was a group of youngsters whose spontaneity and enthusiasm could not be challenged. 1 WJ . w r 'IJ I .Kr AA'.'f'1 .' 'Email MONCE AND FOR ALL Once cmd For All! Our class play was the crowning event of our senior year and it will be long remembered. Tuxedo Place became a reality as soon as the steps leading to imaginary apartments were erected and the much disputed clothesline was strung. Tuxedo Place, the scene of the play, is a small court between apartment buildings that were once occupied by wealthy ten- ants. Because of differences in the real es- tate values, the court is now in different hands. Here live the Benzettis: Demetrio- Homer Blough, Martin Markelg Anna-Mar- garet McClarin, Edythe Carey, Nicola- foe Daugherty, Norman Pyle, and Pietro- Charles Lape, Robert Lohr. Sven Svenson -Ernest Peterson, Ed Dull, and Cora-Hel- en Whipkey, Betty McKee-occupy the basement apartment. Across the court live Michael Webb-lack Suder, Wayne Shaul- is-and his wife Linda-Gail Barron, Mary Anne Albright. Here too, live Christine De- farge-Arlene Horner, Mary Eisler-and her mother, Flora-Doris Bauman, Dodie Reff- ner. Living on the third floor are Doris Del- ray-Iane Walters, Mary George-and Lenore Leblanc-Nancy Schrock, Yvonne Gonder. The real estate agent is Mrs. Bilge -Ieanne Mostoller, Evelyn Grimm, who manages to cover both sides of the court. Ladies from the Women's Club are Mrs. Pettigrew-Louise Coffroth, Dolly Alexan- der-and Mrs. Harrington-lean Sleasman, Ruby Shaulis. Arnold Rice-Carl Friedhof- er, Paul Woodrowp Wade Corrigan-George Mason, Eugene Lloyd, Mrs. Walker, Eleanor Miller, Lucille Barnettp Stew Vanzo-Ken- neth Friedline, Kenneth Shafferg Charlie- Carl Warrick, Owen Roberts, and the mes- senger boy-Homer Burkett-are the other characters. Behind the successful presentation lay six weeks of rehearsals under the expert dramatic coaching of Miss Serene and Miss Gilbert with Miss Snyder on hand to pro- vide our properties. Fun was always lurking behind the scenes. One night between times we lick- ed creamy cake icing from our lips, for Mary Eisler had contributed her luscious birthday cake. Why don't you tear off a few yards of that dance Some day I'm going to have money enough to make people forget whether I'm a dago or a blueblood Pom Papa! The axle, it broke right off like thai! S sta away from that punch! You're foolish Papa! Come quick! They've got Stew! ven, y enough without it! 37 THE MADRIGALS ,x.X . . V' 'N SEATED-Left to right-Gardner. Saylor, Weiss.

These boys and girls have become very Well known in Somer- set. Having sung for the Lions' Club and several churches, they have establish- ed for themselves a gratifying reputation. This small group sings informal music, that is to say, songs with different parts all com- ing in alternately. Since the originator, Mr. Diller, has been called to the armed forces ol our country, Mrs. Mary Stoker Meyer has successfully taken over. The Girls' Chorus of ninety-eight mem- bers meets twice a Week. These young members sing almost every kind of music there is to be sung. It cannot be said that this group has ever done anything outstand- BOYS' CHORUS GIRLS' CHORUS Mrxnn CHORUS -1 ing tor the outside world, but for the school they have given their music graciously. Since Mr. Diller's leaving, Mrs. Meyer has also taken over this group. Her time and patience have been welcomed by the group and as a return for her kindness they are singing as they never sang before. The ninety members of the Mixed Chor- us meet twice a week with Mrs. Meyer. This chorus consists of both boys and girls. En- tertaining the pupils in assembly has been their outstanding project this year. Their voices blend harmoniously in their unusual selections. The Boys' Chorus or Voice Chorus, as it is commonly known, has only twelve mem- bers. Mr. Diller's purpose for establishing this class was so that he might work on each voice individually. The Iunior Boys' Chorus is one for the younger groups of our school. These jolly fellows, forty members in all, come from the seventh and eighth grades. They sing in parts with their voices blending per- fectly. The work of all the choruses was appre- ciated by the students and faculty. When the routine of the day became tedious and wearisome, it was always a pleasure to settle back in one's seat to listen to their music. -'W H Q,-F' Ya' A .FL l . .. . .ie ,JM 1 1 '7f1.e Kam! fn Review The Somerset High School Band has this year increased not only in size but in popularity. It consists of eighty-five mem- bers. Among these young artists are twenty cornets, thirty clarinets, seven trombones, two basses, six drums, one oboe, one bas- soon, three flutes, three saxophones, five c7 4 lncnmn, ,t mo mm .mr on us 1.1. 40 French horns, one set of chimes, two bells. three baritones, one vibraharp, and one string bass. Since the beginning of the year the band has made thirteen appearances. Many of these have been for the benefit of Uncle Sam. This musical organization has given a parade for the county salvage drive, played for the dedication of two pro- grams in honor of the men in the armed forces, and has presented a band concert for the benefit of increasing the sale of war stamps and bonds. On Navy Day the band gave a parade and concert to encourage the enlistment of young men from Somerset and neighboring communities in the Navy. Besides doing all this toward the War effort, they have kept up the spirit of the school by playing at football games and at pre- game pep meetings. Every year bands from all the high schools in the state send representatives from their respective schools to a city which has previously been chosen. In this way, an All State Band is formed. This year three members, Margaret Will, Wayne Shaulis 7fze Uadzeibza and Gordon Bran', from the school band were fortunate enough to gain this honor. The band holds classes during the reg- ular school schedule, meeting in the band room three times a week. The director, Mr. Stineman, has worked earnestly and pa- tiently, and has accomplished amazing re- sults. The orchestra of Somerset High has forty- five members, consisting of fifteen violins, four cellos, two string basses, two flutes, one oboe, two trombones, four French horns, one tuba, two percussions, two bells, two pianos, and one vibraharp. The or- chestra plays for all the evening perform- ances held in Somerset High School. Music for the senior class play, operetta, and the Christmas play is also furnished by the or- chestra. At graduation its plays the tradi- tional processional march Lead On, O King Eternal and also takes part in the Bac- calaureate services. During assembly the orchestra gives the students the pleasure of hearing the delightful pieces of music they play. Mr. Stineman also directs this organization. Individual classes are held for the pupils who play different instru- ments so that they might become more pro- ficient while at the same time they are im- proving the band and orchestra. Every Monday and Thursday one is able to hear strings and horns tuning, for those are the days that the orchestra is in session. Mr. Stineman has succeeded this year in form- ing a string ensemble which is composed of eight violins, three cellos, two string basses, and one piano, This selected group gave a beautiful rendition of their work at a special musical performance during the Christmas season, Although the orchestra is comparatively small, it has a tone and beauty in its music that is very pleasing. It is a far cry from the earlier days in the field of music when only the exceptional student studied music. Now the opportunity is given to all pupils who are interested in gaining more musical skill, either in voice or instrument, to have instruction along the lines they choose. As a result one no long- er merely endures, but heartily enjoys the sound of a stirring march as played by the student band or the strains of a lovely waltz by the orchestra.

Marching from one room to another, the members of the business stall have been collecting the money for the literary staff to spend. Their Work begins the minute the question A yearbook or no yearbook? has been settled. It does not end, however, un- til the last book has been issued to its owner. Theirs is the task of listing the sub- scribers and collecting the money. They, too, have joined the army of marching pen- cils. Moving up and down the page, they total and recheck the totals of every col- umn. Many volunteered their services for this tremendous job, but the selectees were Ieanne Mostoller and Neal Sellers as man- agers and Betty McKee, Lois Lichty, Charles Lape, Eugene Lloyd, Helen Brown, Iack Suder, Homer Blough, Helen Saylor, Dor- othy Arnold, Eileen Will, Ethel Whipkey and Eddie Dull as assistants.

As the name implies, this is a nation-wide honorary or- ganization. Although it is primarily a scho- lastic honorary society, character, leader- ship, and service enter into its require- ments. Fifteen per cent of the senior class are voted into the society by the teachers. A solemn induction service is held during which the new members receive emblems and certificates. At the end of the school year, five per cent of the juniors are also taken into the group. The officers are as follows: president, Carl Friedhoferg vice president, Doris Bau- mang secretary, Ieanne Mostollerg treasurer, Miss Long. Miss Long and Miss Snyder are the fac- ulty advisers.

This is the idea behind the club known as the Future Farmers of America. Mr. Billick, with a staff of officers which consists of Dean Hay as president, Norman Pyle as vice president, Iohn Stanzyck as secretary and Tommy Meyers as treasurer. has set up a program to be followed throughout the year. In the fall the boys started the campaign by picking potatoes for the farmers. The Lions' Club and the F. F. A. formed a cooperative organization. The Lions' Club bought a pure-bred swine for seventy-five dollars. One of the mem- bers of the club was given this swine. In return, for the first litter of pigs, he gave two back to the Lions' Club. From the sec- ond litter one was returned. The three given back to the Lions' Club were pre- sented to three more boys in the F. F. A. Club, so setting up a cycle. Now that the older boys have been called to service these capable future farmers have stepped up and helped to take over. They are learning to use the new scientific methods, which produce bet- ter crops and livestock. This group is only a fraction of the large group that has under- taken the task of feeding this country and its allies. vvrs, Huy. llxlv ROW l-W V Walker. Mlckolulu, lohmon. Ryman, Tipton. Billuk.

Rll I.lC The Rifle Club is a sports club in line with Uncle Sam's policy of building poten- tial power. It's loads of fun, too. As the bullets whiz and zing through the air, we realize how important a club like this is for the defense of our country. These boys may be gunners' mates for Uncle Sam in the near future. Who can tell? The Rifle Club was organized in l94U by Mr. A. W. Lloyd. Mr. Ray Schrock took charge of the club about the middle of the term of 1941-1942 when Mr. Lloyd was called to the army. There has been no definite number of members set for the club 49 tIl.Ill3 although instructors try to keep the number at 25 or under. The club has been participating in matches throughout its history. They have participated in two types of matches, postal and shoulder-to-shoulder. One of the more important postal matches is the N. R. A. match in Which hundreds of clubs throughout the nation participate. The Rifle Club is affiliated with and is a member of the National Rifle Association in Washing- ton. The club participates in the weekly postal series of matches, which is sponsored by the National Rifle Association. The members of the Senior Dramatics Club, composed of juniors and seniors, find it very interesting and exciting to keep up the morale of the students, as well as the outsiders. Learning to act-to develop poise-to learn stage directions is not alto- gether a simple matter. It seems as if the old legend- profit by experience has been one of the greatest aids to would-be actors and actresses when the road seems a little hard and not easily traveled. Much patience must be had by the director, for the errors are not entirely eliminated. Not only does the club learn how to do its bit of acting Well, but it also learns the fundamentals of directing. For every play, the sponsor of the club, Miss Serene, chooses a student coach. All practices are called by the coaches, and they must take over the task of directing at various rehear- sals. The members find great enjoyment in this field of the work, and look forward to the time when they will be big boss. Another field studied by the students is make-up. This presents may difficulties and problems, but most are solved with all the more enjoyment to the group. Powder, rouge, lipstick, eye-shadow-all are tested to see the effect under artificial light. Lighting, stage directions, and types of costumes are also taught under the able instruction of the club's sponsor, Miss Se- rene. W l v, Shaffer, Shaulis ROW 1-Miss Serene. Schenck, Schmidt.

The Iunior Dramatics Club is learning to live up to and achieve the goal of becoming trained actors and actresses. They have been studying hard this past year and have learned much. Using all their energy, the amateurs of stage life have pushed ahead and acquired a good general knowledge of their sub- ject. They have gained the technique of applying make-up on the correct portions of the face for different types of fictional characters. Costuming is another important and outstanding factor in the Iunior Drama- tic Club program. During the club periods, the group prac- tices persistently. They use small playlets, choose the cast and go over their parts, benefiting much from these pastimes. Voting at the end of the first semester, the group changed officers. Fern Casebeer gave her job of president to Ieanne Flani- gan and Carey Schrock passed the posi- tion of secretary to Ella Iean Baer. Mrs. Martha Meyer turned over her club pro- gram to Miss Maud Miller. Two plays were presented in the school's auditorium this year by the club. Cross Roads Store Was successful in all ways and brought much comment. A George Washington party was held with great zeal. We Wish the Iunior Dramatics Club much success under the spotlights of stage life in probable later careers. CliI'IlCRl,lCAlJERS' CLUB Organized two years ago, the Cheer- leaders' Club has proved an indispensable organization to our school. Under the super- vision of Mr. Stineman, the club has great- ly improved the school spirit of Somerset High School students. The morning of a game and oftentimes the day before, there is tension in the air. A pep meeting gives the pupil a chance to blow off all his pent up emotionsp so when the bell rings, a mad rush for the auditorium is on. The cheer- ing squad marches across the stage, their orange victory suits flashing a challenge to the student body. Our high school band now marches on to the stage, and we sing our lovely Alma Mater. Then the cheering begins. Soon every person catches the spirit, and the walls of the auditorium ring. To increase the volume, there is a contest between the band and the students. When one leaves one of these sessions, he is in high spirits and continues so the rest of the day. Now comes the day of the great game. Feeling is strong. When the bell rings, the students march to the football stadium or gymnasium in a hurry. The cheering be- gins and so on through the game. The school owes a great deal to the cheer- leaders for their enthusiasm and pep. a e, Pifer, Fridy Left to right-Fridy, Statler. Ream, Lape, Pifer, Lafferty, Bender. KNEEIJNG--Yancy. S. Latshaw.

Few people realize what a great responsibility the patrolmen have. What would our boys in camp do without guards to keep them safe from dangerous areas? To think of this makes you realize the importance of the school patrol, for they too keep persons from dangerous areas. During the noon hour and after school whenever students ar eoverly anxious to scoot across the road, one of the boys gen- tly but persistently keeps him on the side- walk until everything is clear. A car speeds up the road and before it comes too close to the school, the driver sees that a patrol- man is signaliing tor him to stop so that the school children may cross the street un- harmed, thus preventing many accidents which might have otherwise occurred. During air raids the boy patrol the sec- ond floor of the school building to keep persons from coming there and also to keep windows and doors of the many rooms shut. Have you ever arrived at a basketball game late and found that you couldn't find a seat? If you are ever in this predicament, just find a patrol boy, and in no time at all he'll be able to direct you to a grandstand view. The Patrol Club is sponsored by Mr. Rininger. ,. v -,eg-at . U Lpwifrgltt Egg x 4 ,bf 'S it in The Roof Garden Homemakers' Club is composed of girls who are interested in home making activities. The aims of this club are to practice working together in good fellowship, to encourage improved family relations in the home, to promote the wise use of leisure time, to aid pupils in self analysis, to establish high ideals of con- duct, and to cooperate with state and na- tion home economics associations. As a project for the year, the girls have endeavored to improve the sickroom facili- ties. This has included work on a quilt for the new bed, a first aid kit, and improvised sick room equipment. The girls' motto is five-fold: to herself, to her club, to her school, to her home, and to her community. The steady growth of home economics clubs affiliated with the American Home Economics Association has grown from 42 members in l924 to l,37Z members in 1937. But there are nearly 20,000 schools offering courses in home economics, so more than three-fourths of the schools do not as yet have home economic clubs. We deem our- selves fortunate to be among the chosen few offerings a home economics club. The club provides for the members a variety of interests and activities. It reaches outward from the girl herself to include her whole environment in home, school, and community. The sponsors of the club are Miss Red- foot, Miss Rummel, and Miss Davis.

If you could peep in the door you would see twen- ty-six girls all busy as bees, knitting, sew- ing, cmd doing all sorts of useful things that future homemakers will have to do. This club is for girls of all ages. This year girls from seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and elev- enth grades were members. At Christmas time the club filled boxes for the Iunior Red Cross. These boxes were sent to children in Europe. Miss Romanoski, the clever sponsor, teaches those who do not know how to knit and crochet, the fundamentals of these arts. Amongt he many outstanding items turned out was a sweater knit by lean Weaver. Lena Pucci crocheted a pair of blue bed- room slippers. Other members of the club made hot pads, coasters, pot holders, and embroidered scarfs. You may think that the seventh graders are too young to be thinking of planning a home, but if you saw them sewing and knit- ting, you would soon change your mind. This club helps the older and younger chil- dren to understand each other and bring about a closer relationship between the upper and lower classes. These girls work together like one big happy family and are worthy of high praise for the work they produce. The Girl Reserve Club is an international organization, sponsored by the Young Women's Christian Association. Under the leadership of Miss Gilbert, a Girl Reserve Club was founded in Somerset High School this year. This club, consisting of sopho- more, junior, and senior girls have proved to be one of the most active and Worthwhile organizations ot our school. The charter members of the club worked hard the first half of the year to get their club properly organized. Then, at the be- ginning of the second semester, sophomores, who had previously been barred from the club, were granted membership. These sophomore girls, brimming with new vitality and enthusiasm, did much to heighten the spirits of the club. The girls Worked hard, on committees and individually, to make their club a success, and from all appear- ances they have done just that. The motto of the club, To find and give the best, signifies the ideals of this group, namely, to grow in personality, leadership. service and Christian character. The emblem of the G R's is a triangle Within a circle, the triangle representing a Girl Reserve member and the circle, the world in which she lives. The club is supported in its hopes and enterprises by Miss Gilbert, Miss Davis, Miss Long, and the Women's council, a group of Women who serve as advisors for the Girl Reserves.

As we eagerly approached the band room that Friday night we could hear the swaying rhythm of the Swing Band.

With great interest we delved into the Swing Band's history.

ROW 4 -Court: Hopkins, l7.xrrigo, Arnold, Mtllcr, Doctor C th It was late August. The most colorful sport of the school year, football, was just around the corner. Down on the athletic field could be heard the clashing of bodies and the pounding of eager feet. Within three weeks the football season would open. Despite the loss of fifteen members of last year's team, the squad looked very promising, and the boys were in the pink of condition for the first contest. At Conemaugh Township the boys met a powerful organization, but they put up a great battle. After holding the opposition for nearly two quarters, the Orange and Black were driven deep into their own ter- ritory, and finally Conemaugh crashed through. It was a decisive Win for the Cone- maugh Indians, but it showed that all our boys needed Was experience. Let by Coaches Saylor and Hopkins, the Frosty Sons of Thunder battled to 6-6 tie with the Bedford Bisons and a scoreless tie with the Shade Township team. lf Lady Luck had been on our side in both of these games, victory would have been easy. It seems that experience and hard prac- 66 tice Were all the Eagles needed, for after losing a hard fought battle to a revengeful Mt. Pleasant team, they virtually slaught- ered a hard fighting Berlin outfit, 33 to U. That game proved that the boys had it, In the next game at Ebensburg, they fought a close, but losing battle to a very much worried Ebensburg team.

Regardless of Somerf:et's losing score, it was a moral victory for the team and fans. With the coming of the Westmont Hill- Toppers to the home soil, the boys had a powerful foe. Led by a great forward wall which consisted of Vogel, Ankeny, Weaver, Krevda, Kebblish, Bowman and the ends Sellers, Shaulis, and Long, and an outstand- ing center, Bob Iudy, they battled to a 7-6 victory. Midway in the season our genial, well- liked Coach Saylor was called into the armed forces. Coach Hopkins took over the reins and did a fine job. The final game of the season on Armis- tice Day brought to Somerset its most tra- ditional rival, Meyersdale. Midway in the second quarter a Somerset kick was blocked, and a Meyersdale man scooped it up and scampered for a touchdown. That was the only time Somerset was outplayed during the game, which Meyersdale won 6 to U. That game concluded a successful sea- son, not perhaps in games won, but suc- cessful from the standpoint of accomplish- ment by a group of boys, who inexpe- rienced as they were, became a powerful winning organization.

Within two weeks, gas was to be rationed, and the fulfillment of the 16-game schedule which had been planned was doubtful. Finally the Athletic Association got the go ahead from the petroleum administrator and the school felt confident of a successful season. After the final weeding out, the squad had eleven men, nine seniors and two juniors. The team worked hard for three weeks, learning Coach Hopkin's new sys- tem. In the middle of December, the Orange played a fighting group from Shanksville, but the Eagles, led by Bob Lohr, a forward, won a decisive victory. The next game was with the Alumni. It was an interesting game. but the Orange made it easy picking.

In the first half, the Eagles just couldn't get started, and, when they left the floor at the half, they were behind 17-13. In the third quarter, the Orange, sparked by little Butch Morocco, pulled ahead 24-21, and at the end of the game had a 29-25 lead. It was the first time in several years that a Somerset team had beaten Friedens on their own floor. An easy victory over the Bedford Bisons followed. It was four wins in a row for the team when they set off for Conemaugh Township, and the boys were in high spirits. The Indians, led by a high-scoring center, held a 21-I3 lead at the half and went on to hand our boys their first defeat of the season by a 40-22 score. The Stonycreek Vikings, whom we had beaten quite easily before, put up a great fight on their home floor, and the Frosty Sons of Thunder, sparked by lanky Bob Iudy, at center, won a low scoring contest 22-19. When the boys met Westmont High on the home floor, they had quite a battle. The Orange were really hot and at the end of the first half they held a surprising 17-7 lead, At the end of the third quarter they led by 23-12, but in the final heat, the West- monters made the game exciting by scoring eleven points to our two. We finally came out on the winning end, and it looked as if the team was going places. At Shade Township the boys virtually ran away with the game in the first half, but came out with a bare 28-24 advantage. The next week we treveled to Bedford and took an easy victory. Our next opponents, Everett High, came to Somerset confident of victory, and at the end of the first half it appeared as if they were going to win. In the second half the Orange put on a really outscoring game, beating the Everett team l2-5 and won a decisive 24-21 victory. The old jinx, Conemaugh, came to the home floor when once again the boys had piled up a record of five straight victories. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way, but the Eagles were behind at every stage of the game. Special credit should go to the S. H. S. fans for the excellent sportsmanship they showed in the game. Shade Township fell easily to the Orange as Butch Morocco scored 22 points. The seasons record now showed 10 vic- tories in 12 starts. To our home floor came our rivals, the Friedens quint. At the halt, the Orange were behind by a score of 9-8. With re- newed spirit they went into the second half and took an easy 21-14 victory. 71 JUNIOR VARSITY ROVV l-Kennrl. flnrmav Iarohs.

At the quar- ter the score was 7-7 and at the end of the first half they were once again behind ll-8. In the third quarter both teams did some scoring and the score stood 26-20 in favor ot Westmont. Fred Damico was sent in to play forward, The boys went into the last quarter with new vigor. With three minutes to go they had cut the six point lead to 3. Then Damico sank a beautiful one-hand- ed shot and a minule later another to put us ahead by one point with two minutes to go. The boys held on to that lead and came out on the winning end of the most exciting game of the season, 29-28. Two more games remained on the schedule. At Everett the Orangemen were again behind at the half time. In the third M-rom . 'if+'fM ellaacfwaacf Jfeaam quarter the Everett team held a three point advantage, but the Orange easily over- came that lead and pulled ahead by one point as they won another nerve-racking victory, this time 24-23. Our last game ot the season with Iohns- town Central was a grand climax to a very successful season. The Iohnstown team was highly favored over the Orange but the locals outplayed the Trojans throughout the whole game. At the halt we held a 14-10 advantage. The last two quarters was prac- tically a foul shooting contest, tor the Orange shot 8 fouls and Iohnstown shot 9. The Trojans lost one man on fouls and the Orange two. The season's record showed l4 wins and 2 losses. With luck in one of the Conemaugh games, our record would have been made still better. Our team beat the most power- tul team in this region and this season will stand as one of the most successful hard- wood seasons that Somerset has had. BOB IUDY-Alternated as center with Bru- baker. Second highest scorer on team. Soph played fine ball on the center pivot spot. His left-handed shots fooled the enemy many times. IOHN BRUBAKER- George, as he was named by Coach, played center. His one- handed shot from the foul line pulled us out of the hole many times. One ot last year's I. V.'s who made good. IOHN BOWMAN-Iohn alternated at guard and forward. Didn't see much action, ut should make a fine guard for Coach Hop- kins next year. WAYNE SHAULIS-Played left back guard. Fine ball handler and an excellent guard. When Wayne was in there, you should be sure our basket was well guarded. lmly l'lrnlml4C1' lion num bln FRED DAMICO-A line set shot and an excellent ball handler. He was a hero in several games when he pulled us out of the fire with his one-handed shot. ROBERT Monocco-- Butch was the sparkplug of the team. Being the smallest man on the team was no disadvantage to him. Not only was he the best ball handler. but high scorer. WILLIAM STUTZMAN- Bill played for- ward. One of the two juniors on tho team. Excellent set shot and endg an adept ball handler. Should be a sparkplug next year. CARL FRIEDHOFER-Alternated as guard with Sellers and Morocco. Carl played the right guard pivot when Sellers was out. BOB LOHR-Bob played forward on the first strong. Bob is remembered for his set shots. NEAL SELLERS-l'HQHk as he was known to the fellows, played first-string right guard. Not a high scorer, but always in there fighting for the ball. Fine ability to set up plays. Lizwis Monocco-Left guard. Moon had many more assets than points showing his ability to set up plays tor the other mem- bers of the team. Ready for action at any time. Ml . KICKBALL-At the beginning of the year all the different classes from seventh grade up to and including the seniors participate in kickball during their gym classes. Many a girl has a rather sensitive toe or is quite breathless after kicking the ball, and run- ning around the goal, and back again to safety. Kickball is the first sport that the freshmen girls are taught. After they have mastered the sports more or less, Mrs. Lyons' sponsors a tournament with the freshman home rooms, who participate with great zeal. All tournaments like this are played at noon. This year there were eight freshmen kickball teams. Room 102 was victorious. BASKETBALL - Girls' basketball is not like boys' basketball. For instance there is a line drawn across the middle of the floor. There are three forwards and three guards on either side of the dividing line. Every- one must stay on her own side. The girls may bounce the ball once once when they dribble. Otherwise the game is the same as the boys'. Each home room has at least one teamp some have two or three. Each team has a captain who challenges other home rooms of the same grade. The teams can even challenge teams of others grades. It is an extreme honor for an underclass team to beat an upperclass team. The victors of the Senior and Iunior class rooms are Room ll0 for the juniors, and Room lU9 for the seniors. Senior Basketball Iunior Basketball BOWLING-This is the first year tor the bowling team which bowls in the Somerset bowling alley. Before the girls could partici- pate in the tournament, they had to have two practices. The bowling team was di- vided into two groups, the Senior League, those who bowled 69 or less and the Iunior League. Senior League elected captains who picked their team members. Every Wednesday at four that group bowled. The Iunior League was divided the same way, and they bowled on Thursday. All these scores were handed in to Mrs. Lyons, who lzept the scores on the bulletin board in the gym. There were several requirements, and one was that the teams had to bowl at least two games out of the ten with ten pins. Betty A. Fridy, a sophomore, rolled l3U which was the highest score tor one per- son in any game. The different teams participating are as follows in scoring order: Senior teams: Cur- vettes-3853, Pin Boys Delight-3609, Alley Kats-3337, Gutter Girls-3185. Iunior teams: Eight Strikers-2974, Lofters-2976, Rollers-2793, Unknowns-2737, Foul Liners -2236. Besides the sports just mentioned there are other sports such as volleyball which is played near the end of the school year. Mushball is played in the fall and the spring, too. Many of our girls have mas- tered the sport. Often in the tall and spring, Mrs. Lyons sends the girls down to the courts to enter in an exciting game of tennis. There are also other sports like track and hockey in which the girls take part each year. Sophomore Basketball Freshmen Basketball Q ya 43 ? Q Q3 Q, Q 'Si -Q ', , ' .Rf K .

The cannon, as well as many other pounds of metal, Was salvaged in the scrap drive in which students collected over 3,160 pounds of scrap metal. Under the program of the Victory Corps, new courses to prepare students, particu- larly seniors, for war and production Work have been established. Mr. Wagner in- structs senior boys in a pre-aeronautics course, and Mr. Flick directs senior girls in the fundamentals of metal shop and pre- cision instruments. Both juniors and seniors take the course in Morse Code taught by Mr. Griffith and Mr. Pyle. An old radiator has been added to the scrap drive Seventh and eighth graders organized into a Iunior Commando unit which sold many a War bond and stamp to lick the Axis. The Student Council also did its share, selling bonds and Victory corsages of defense stamps. Piles of shiny pennies, valuable copper, were unearthed by students in the special penny drive, sponsored by the Victory Corps.
