Our institution is but one of the many bricks that make up the foundation of the great American democracy. The success of the American experiment in government has come from the democratic tendencies of its basic institutions-the home, the church, the school. Here in the hills through which flows the Monongahelo River, we work and play in a bright sunshine of peace and we pray that the gleaming lights of activity may never flicker under threat of war's blackout. Here in the covers of this book, by means of illustrated pages, we are presenting along with the most interesting and outstanding events of the l94O-l94l school term, our everyday school life which is a miniature demo- cracy, In our classes we work to prepare ourselves for our future careers, and in our extra-curricular activities we foster our individual abilities and tal- ents. With such a wide variety of subjects, sports, clubs, and organizations offered to us to meet the needs of our many interests, we will be well- pre- pored to take our places in the world after graduation. Ii -vn Page 4 EDICATION To the ever-faithful counselors, guides and companions of our early years who have sacrificed so much of their time and their efforts that we might enjoy the privilege of attending a free school we dedicate this book. Dear Parents, we take this humble way to thank you for making this book possible. Without you, it would never have been written. Without you, our school would not exist. Without you, we would not be the healthy per- sons we are-sound of body and mind, each outstanding in our own par- ticular ability. To you we owe our happiness, our freedom, our ambition. To you we owe our gratitude, our respect, our very lives. You may not have been able to supply all the petty desires we may have had, but you have cared for us and by your care have our minds and bodies grown. We do not proclaim to be geniuses, but we all have average ability of which we hope you as well as we, are quite proud. We are the stones which make this brick quite concrete This brick , as you know, is Brownsville Senior High School, which you have giv- en us. For these things, Dear Parents, we thank you. And to you we dedicate this, our humble creation, ON THE MON .

Page 8 CHOOL New Senior High Annex Building on Water Street Page 9 THE NEW STADIUM Here is a column of pictures depicting the new athletic stadium, located in Wood- ward Plan. The first of this group shows a view of the patrons bleachers. These bleach- ers will hold approximately five-thousand people. During football season the patrons show their loyalty to the school and to the players by attending the games and filling the bleachers to capacity. For the benefit of the many patrons and out of town guests, a large parking lot was constructed to accomodate the automobiles. This lot is well-lighted and protected by the police during the games. lt is situated at the entrance of the stadium making easy access to the field for the patrons, Here is o scene of a group of workers taken during the construction of the field. During last summer, the men of the W. P. A. worked incessantly making the field and parking lot ready for the coming foot- ball season. The labor of the workers was justified when the stadium was completed. It now ranks as the best stadium in the valley. A view of the completed playing field is seen here. This is the finest field of its type in Southwestern Pennsylvania. On it is grown Kentucky Blue Grass which is watered and taken care of every day. The field is a hundred feet long and fifty-three feet wide. At each end of the field is sit- uated gates for the entrance of students or bonds. l-lere are shown the student bleachers. They will accomodate approximately forty- five hundred students. But, still more room is needed for the number of high school students that attend the football games. To the right of the stadium, a portion of the football practice field can be seen. Dur- ing the season this section is used for base- ball games. Page 10 THE NEW ANNEX Due to the overflow of students in the high school building the Second Ward School was used to accomodate the Prac- tical Arts Students. All departments of this course were transferred to this new home. Here is seen a group of boys working in the printshop, They learn to set up type and run the various printing machines as well as learn book binding. Another valuable department located in the Annex is the mechanical drawing shop. These boys learn how to make and con- struct blueprints, and also learn how to read them. In this new location more ad- vantages are given to the boys who are taking this course. Here we find our future Schiaperellis of l95O hard at work. ln addition to learning haw to make their own clothing, these girls study fabrics and designs so they may recog- nize good workmanship in read-made gar- ments. When these girls have finished their course in sewing, they will be capable of making their own wardrobes. Metal work is a new course added sev- eral months after the term began, Here the boys learn to work with metal in the mak- ing of pewter, aluminum, and copper ar- ticles. They also make metal bookends, bracelets, and other useful things. lt is cer- tain to prove quite popular from reports of the boys who are asking for a chance to take this course next year. Here we see a group of boys working earnestly in the woodshop. ln this course the boys are given training in the different arts of woodwork, This very practical course offers the students many opportunities to make their projects equal to those purchased in the stores. The boys learn to make desks, bookcases, shelves, and all types of articles made out of wood. Page COOKING CLASS COOKING CLASS This is the origin ot all those tantalizing aromas that are watted through the halls each day. When this picture was taken they were packing boxes of goodies for valentines. Here the girls learns to prepare a full meal, from soup to atter dinner coffee. Miss Gribble also instructs them in the proper method ot setting and serving the table. CHEMISTRY LABORATORY ln this laboratory the Edisons ot our school do their experiments with results that are nev- er disastrous-except to the nostrils. ln this room the chemistry students attain a better understanding ot the principles taught in their textbooks, by practical application. Some- times there is a little excitement such as 0 minor explosion, but that just adds to the tun. CHEMISTRY LABORATORY HALL TRAFFIC BETWEEN CLASSES TRAFFIC IN THE HALLS Every torty-five minutes a loud, pleasant- sounding bell may be heard announcing the dismissal of classes. lt is at this time that the students tile into the corridors and converse with their friends on the way to their next class. Because ot the orderly routine ot the traffic in the hall, two minutes allows each person a suitable amount of time to reach his next class. MATHEMATICS CLASS The blackboard illustrations are partly those of the geometry class of the preceding period while the interested group pictured here are working at trigonometry. l-lere stuf dents are introduced to the study that may develop into a career ot civil engineering. The students in advanced moth usually expect to attend college as it is a required course for college entrance. MATHEMATICS CLASS Page 12 TYPING CLASS TYPING These future All-American secretaries are seen here working hard. Probably, several years from now, these students will be seen again, but this time as the holder of the championship speed record in typing. Their goal is learning to type fast but ac- curately. In this way they will slowly reach the present typing record which is l4l words per minute. OFFICE PRACTICE CLASS The students in the office practice classes hope to become successful business workers some day. Besides learning about the work- ings of the mimeograph, the adding machine, and the chemical duplicator, students survey vocations, prepare itineraries, and study a mailing unit, and are given extra practice in typing. They learn the qualities of successful business people, OFFICE PRACTICE ROOM ENGLISH CLASS ENGLISH CLASS Here is a view of a group of seniors con- centrating deeply on an English Literature test. The test in question was on MacBeth . From rumors we hear, the test was very hard. The Senior English course includes a study of American and English Literature, as well as grammar, with a variety in both fields. Miss Nicholas adds interest to her teaching with explanatory illustrations, LIBRARY STUDY HALL Our high school library, now located in its new home, study hall ZO6, is a storehouse of knowledge. lt contains hundreds of volumes of books among which are five sets of en- cyclopedias, volumes on Economics, history, and literature. The fiction group includes modern and classic novels. Another valuable and interesting section is the one devoted to magazines, which contains both fictional and news magazines. LIBRARY Pile 13 Do You Know? B. H. S. has a number of chapters of national organizations - National Rifle Association, Na- tional Forensic League, National Thespian Dra- matic Honor Society, National Scholastic Press As- sociation, Hi-Y and TrifHi-Y. There are 323 seniors, There are 409 juniors. There are 393 sophomores. Making l l2S our total enrollment. Joseph Peters won the national rating as a twirler of the baton. Brownsville has won permanent possession of the Mon Valley Big Six Football Trophy and the Fayette County Football Trophy by rounding out three successful seasons?-l 938-l940. We have no sports open to girls except the Rifle Club. The annex has florescent lighting in the shops. The Senior High would like to have and needs a gymnasium and auditorium of its own. On-The-Mon was given a good rating in sec- ond class division of the i940 National Scholastic Press Association. The school now begins ot 7 :50 A, M. instead of 8:30 A. M, as in former years, and there are very few objections to being an early worm. All the yearbook work has been done outside of regular school time and represents the combined efforts of thirty persons.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATIO Once a month members of the School Board meet to study the problems pertinent to edu- cation here in the Brownsville schools. Their work includes the maintenance and regula- tion of our school and its activities. This able body is comprised of Mrs. Anne L. Strawn, J, Roy Davis, Howard B. Johnston, R. S. Brosius, E. L. Clemmer, Robert M. DeLaney, and W. A, Griffin. From their midst they have elect- ed Mrs, Strawn, president, Mr. Davis, vice- president, Mr. Johnston, secretary, Mr. De- Laney, treasurer. Just as the work of the Federal Govern- ment is carried on through committees, the Brownsville School Board has chosen various committees to complete their work more ef- fectively. They are: The Educational Committee has listed among its special duties, the setting up of standards for teachers, presenting new or. more effective courses of study, and present- ing for observation new teaching equipment. Their chief plan is to effect a better, more efficient system. For these duties have been placed: Robert DeLaney, Roy Davis, Anne Strawn, and Howard Johnston. The Athletic Committee looks over, studies, suggests, and supervises the problems pre- sented here in our school by sports. Through the functions of this group we are able now to boast of a fine athletic system in our school. For many years, J. Roy Davis has been influential in this group and this year he is aided by Robert DeLaney, Willard Griffin, and Roy Brosius. The Tuition Committee makes all the ad- justments concerning the tuition fees of out- of-town students who hail from surrounding school districts. lt is to their lot that falls the settling of problems arising from this plan. For this committee has been chosen: Willard Griffin, Howard Johnston, and Ray Brosius. The Building and Grounds Committee is comprised of Louis Clemmer, Roy Davis, and Howard Johnston, who have in their charge the maintenance of the present buildings and in case of increased enrollment to make ad- justments. This committee has had a lot of work this past year in arranging and prepar- ing the equipment for the use of the students at the Annex, the new addition to the Browns- ville Senior High School, which was formerly used as a grade school. The Finance and Purchase Committee must attend to the purchasing of supplies and fol- low o definite budget in their planning. On this committee has been placed: Ray Brosius, Robert DeLaney, Howard Johnston, and Anne Strawn. Another important committee is the Sink- ing Fund Committee, comprised of Anne Strawn, Howard Johnston, and Robert De- Laney. All patrons, parents and students extend their appreciation to this civic-minded and hard-working group for a difficult task well done. Page 16 THE NEW SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Mr, Barner, the new supervising principal, comes to us direct from ten years' service as supervising principal at the California High School, A graduate of the Kutztown Normal, Mr. Barner received his Bachelor of Science de- gree at Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa., and his Master of Arts degree at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh. He also did graduate work at the University of Pittsburgh. He secured his first teaching position in an elementary school in Burkes County, located in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. He taught there for one year, and then went to Redstone Elementary School where he taught for three years. At those schools he taught English and social studies. Mr. Barner's first high school teaching po- sition was in the Perry Township High school, where he taught for eight years-four years as building principal and four as supervising principal. From Perry Twp., he went to Rockwood and served as supervising principal there for two years. When the chance was offered, Mr. Barner seized the opportunity to better himself and was transferred to California, Pennsylvania, in l93O. He taught there until last year at which time he was elected supervising princi- pal of the Brownsville schools. Mr. Barner belongs to the Rotary Club, the Masons, the Lodge of Perfection in Union- town, and the Consistory in Pittsburgh. He is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, American Association of School Administration, Nation- al Education Association, and the Pennsyl- vania Education Association. When asked what the greatest thrill in his school life was, Mr. Barner replied: The greatest thrill l had during my high School lNormal Schooll life was to receive my letter from the office of the principal stating that l had passed all the State Board Examinations without condition. A lover of all sports, Mr. Barner's greatest hobbies are fishing and golf. His church affiliation is Methodist, and he is quite active in all church work, Since Mr. Barner has come to Brownsville, many changes have been made in our school system. During previous years, our open house was always held in the evenings. This year open house was observed all day Tues- day, March 4, and classes were conducted in the usual everyday routine. Mr. Barner said that this change was made so the parents could really see what the students were doing in their school work. Another change he instituted is a new grading system that is more exact than that of former years. After witnessing the effect of the alter- ations made in this year's program, the un- dergraduates may feel certain that everything will be done to lay the foundations of learn- ing more securely.

Austin, a friendly ad- visor and staunch supporter in all undertak- ings, This cooperation and understanding of student problems has been a chief factor in the success of the current school year. Mr. Austin graduated from Glen Falls High School. At Saint Lawrence University he re- ceived a Bachelor of Science Degree, and he obtained his Master of Arts Degree at the University of Pittsburgh. From l92l to l922 he taught French and Science at North Union Township. Previous to coming to Brownsville, he was a member of the faculties of Uniontown and Redstone high schools.

School life in itself is democracy on a small scale, Then, who is better to know that in- dependence, education, and democracy march hand in hand than the students of these same schools? Every student who enjoys the privi- leges of an education can see the importance of such education in a democracy if we are to hand on this blessed freedom to our pos- terity. So early in life, we Seniors cannot ful- ly realize the exact fact, but we do feel its importance. We know that it is really what counts, that it is the prime factor holding our schools, our churches, yes-even our na- tion, together. ln the fall of l938, we, a group of young adventurers, started out on o long and tedious quest for knowledge and worldliness. We knew very little then what a great privilege it is to be free and democratic. Our goal was the attainment of that glorious banner of democracy. Leonard Ackerman unfurled our banners as president, with Jack Gallagher, vice-president, Carl Apone, treasurer, and Junior Peters, secretary, as able color bearers. Having rested during the summer for three months, we proceeded on our journey. Again, able leaders were elected with the responsi- bility ofthe expedition resting upon the shoul- ders of Joe Dandrea as president. With the aid of Joe and his able assistants -- Fred Kreuter, vice-president, Alice Guesman, sec- retary, and William Shaffer, treasurer - a junior class play, Skidding , was presented by our group in the first semester of the i939- l94O term. After another refreshing rest during the va- cation season, our expedition started out eag- erly on the last lap of the journey. Fred Kreuter as president, a husky favorite on the gridiron, lead the charge against the ob- stacles. Those who helped to conquer the defeatists of Democracy were Jack Gallagher, vice-president, Alice Guesman, secretary, and William Shaffer, treasurer. Another diversion from the narrow paths of laborious studies was the successful class play, Wings of the Morning, presented December i8 and l9 of of this year. The group marches on, the banner still far- flung, toward the commencement field. And with a gleam of inspiration and an air of worldliness obtained, the Senior Class mem- bers pass into the business world to spread the glowing light of their high ideals. Only time will determine the fulfillment of our dreams. The association with teachers and classmates has added to our ability to over- come difficulties. We have chosen the ideals of our forefathers, the torch of democracy to guide us. Page 26 ,,, T Wings of the Morning---The Senior Class Play ln an isolated region, on a hill is a house built over the shaft of a mine, that moves noiselessly up and down the shaft by means of an elevator device, the brain-child of Mas- ter Geoffrey, a wealthy philanthropist. Here with his twin sister, Ellen, he operates a so- ciological laboratory. ln the interest of secrecy, he has no tele- phone service, and his guests are invariably transported by airplane. Thus no guest is ever able to tell where he has been. For the occasion Master Geoffrey has sing- led out three small groups of people: ln the first group are Joyce Calvert, a dress designer, her maid, Loa, David Banning, a surgeon, and Adrian Powell, a poet. In group two are Tonio Di Silvistri ,a fruit seller, his wife, Carlotta, and their daughter, Benedetto. In group three are Miss Wanley, matron of an old ladies' home, a student nurse, Effie, Mrs. Ellis, an inmate, and Trudy, her companion. At the moment when a crisis in the lives of those comprising the three groups is im- minent, in walks Eben Forthright, sent by Master Geoffrey to make certain that they will not refuse his invitation to spend a short vacation at his secluded retreat.

Lower Left,--Mary Ethel Rohrer as Lon, Milton Swelling as Dr, Banning. Bonuvore Herron as Ellen, Lvonard Ackernlan as Master Geoffrey, Bill Shaffer as Adrian. Fred Kreulcr as Stanley Gordon. Page 27 l-lere, all the problems incident to their tangled lives are brought into the light. When every other means of persuasion has been unsuccessfully used-they find themselves at I the bottom of the shaft. Finally, when Master Geoffrey expresses his willingness to take them again to the surface, and to their homes, his memory snaps. Because of his secrecy concerning the house mechanism, the groups seem sentenced to slow starvation. ln the course of the visit, changes are made in the life plans of each individual. It is at this point that Dr. Banning performs an ex- periment, and with the aid of the others, Master Geoffrey's memory is again restored, saving all.

Jr.: President Leo Fletcher: Secretary Janet Six. We're off! Where? Why, we are on our way to being seniors. For some of us, it has been a long, tiring journey, but with the end now in sight, we can see our efforts were not in vain. At times we could have quit when things looked discouraging, but now we are glad that we kept on diligently plugging our way to a high school education. ln l939, a new sophomore class entered Brownsville Senior High with high hopes. To help guide us, we chose as class officers: Leo Fletcher, president, Doris Wright, vice-presi- dent, Pauline Carter, secretary, and Opal Ford, treasurer. As we gained assurance, we joined the extra curricular activities offered to us and became better acquainted with Sen- ior High life. Naturally, as this present school year rolled around we, as the Juniors, were more keenly interested in school than we were in the preceding year. Room 102 -Teacher, Miss Gribble, Back Row-R.

To us juniors, class elections seemed more pertinent than the fiery presidential election. This year the election returns show- ed: Leo Fletcher, president, Joseph Peters, vice-president, Janet Six, secretary, Opal Ford, treasurer. To them we left the guidance of our junior class executive duties. Time does miraculous things to our lives and in eleven years, we find ourselves juniors and in a few months to pass on to the immor- talized senior class. We only hope that we can follow in their footsteps and do as well as they have done, and perhaps, even make a real mark for ourselves in our own name. And again by our great quest of knowledge, we know we shall see the bright lights of democracy over shadowing all the blackness of today's world. ROOM 104-TEACHER, MISS BLACK Back Row-W. Childs, J.

HI TORY MAKING SEASUN The date November l6, l94O, possibly means little to rnost people, but to Browns- ville l-ligh School football fans, it marks the day of the close of the most successful foot- ball season that the Brownie teams have ever had. For the third straight year, the big Brownie machine has annexed the Fayette County and Big Six championships. The beautiful trophies, symbolic of these titles, are now held in proud possession by Brownsville High School. But even greater than this, the Brownies, by hard fighting, do or die spirit, and the de- sire to win, walked off with a prize sought by every high school football team in this dis- trict, the W. P. l, A. L. championship! Tied with Altoona for this honor, a playoff game was thought to be necessary, but Altoona's refusal to play post-season games automatic- ally gave the Brownies the championship. While winning their numerous trophies, the Brownies compiled an envious record of lO wins, no losses, and no defeats, They scored 280 points to the opposition's l8. To gain these laurels, the Brownies worked hard. From the first day in the carnp at the mountains to their last game of the season, they practiced faithfully and conscientiously. The boys realized that to maintain the prestige that the 'other Brownie teams had built for them, that'they must never let down. Every team on the ten-game schedule was laying for the Brownies.To defeat Browns- ville would break their two-year win streak and also mark their conquerors as the team that beat Brownsville, l-lowever, no such event took place, and the Brownies swept through their schedule totally victorious.

COACHING STAFF The coaching staff of the great Browns- ville football team is no doubt one of the best coaching staffs in Western Pennsylvania. They have made tall gangling kids into speedy ends and halfbacks, they have converted slow boys into speed merchants and have filled every boy with the desire and eagerness to play on a Brownsville team. To Mr. Sepsi goes a lion's share of the cred- it, for it is he chiefly who teaches the new recruits, the fundamentals of football. Many of the erstwhile stars of the Brownie team started their training under him. Mr. Bruce, who is in charge of the back- field material also deserves a large amount of credit. His handiwork can easily be seen by the brilliant performances of such boys as John Daley, Al Taffoni, Joe Vaccaro, and oth- Mr. Aschman Coach in Uniform Mr, Dudzak ers, Once a shifty back himself, he has done all he can to pass on to the boys, the skill and deception that won him honors. But king of the staff is head coach Asch- man. ln the seven years that he has been with us, Brownie squads have always been out- standing. His career here lfor you all know that he is taking up the coaching reigns at Ambridge High Schooll was climaxed by the winning of the W. P. l. A. L. Trophy. Overseer of the squad, it is his duty to pol- ish off the rough spots, build up a plaver's moral, and incentive to play, and to be a fa- ther to the boys by helping them in anyway possible. His policies have reaped huge rewards for him and no doubt he will be accepted at his new post with open arms. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR As Director of Athletics of the Brownsville schools, Mr. Aschman has had a real job on his hands. Arranging schedules, checking, and ordering equipment, seeking transporta- tion,- these are only a few of the many tasks connected with this position. Mr. Aschman for the past seven years has taken care of all these assignments in such a manner that there has never been a serious conflict in sche- dules or lack of equipment or transportation. ln accepting his new position at Aliquippa, Mr. Aschman made it difficult for anyone to step into his shoes. However, the schoolboard has declared that the vacancy will not be fill- ed as the position of athletic director will be dropped. Mr. Aschman has served us faithfully and we are sorry to see him leave, though we wish him the best of luck and success at his new position, FACULTY MANAGER OF ATHLETICS Finishing his second complete year as fac- ulty manager of athletics, Mr. Dudzak has earned a reputation for his diligent work and service to the school. His duties are many, but selling tickets and collecting money from all the sports activities are his chief duties. His biggest problem is getting the fans to go to the games. The work is not hard, says Mr. Dudzak, but it is a job that one must keep after, Well, Mr. Dudzak certainly had kept after his jobs and has made it a simple matter for all Brownie fans to see their teams in action, both at home and away. BASKETBALL One of the prides and joys of the students of Brownsville Senior High is their basketball team. Although the team has not won all its games, the Brownies earned a good reputa- tion for sportsmanship and playing ability. The record this year was considerably bet- ter than the record last year. In a number of Page 62 the games which were lost, the scores were so close that a favorable break would have resulted in a victory for the Brownies, The season also provided a number of spe- cial attractions for the public. One of these was the Donkey Basketball Game which was played between the alumni and the Brow- nies. The latter won. Many fans will never forget the laughs they had when the members of the teams encountered difficulty in riding their donkeys. One of the highlights of the year was the Charleroi-Brownsville Game which resulted in a Brownsville victory and dashed Charleroi's high hopes to pieces. The coaching staff consists of Mr. Asch- man and Mr, Bruce, who have contributed much to the success of the team. The mem- bers of the squad are the following: Buck Sutton, a high scorer of the Brown- ies, who sank 60 field goals and made l86 points. .lack Gallagher, a senior, who scored l58 points. P. Johns, a sophomore, who made l57 points. Jack Sokol, a senior, with 70 points to his credit. Alex Chronis, a senior, who made a total of 33 points. Other members of the squad include the following boys: Fred Kreuter, a senior with 28 points, played for only a few moments, but his work was fine. Mangine, Daley, Kotan, Vigilotti, and Harvey are undergraduate mem- bers of the second team from whom are ex- pected big things for next year. ISN!!

By defeating Donora in the fin- al game of the season, the Brownies won their section and entered the playoffs against Tri- nity. They were defeated by Trinity when Billy Sams, brilliant young hurler, pitched a one-hit game against them. With only Zayak lost from the champion- ship team the Brownies promise to go farther in competition this year. The bulwark of the offense will be built around Buck Sutton, seasoned hurler, and John Wolosky and Fred Kreuter's slugging. Ably assisting will be Joe Potsklan, fleetfooted left fielder, Al Taffoni, sure armed shortstop, Tommy Doyle, second base, Mike Cindric, center field, and Eugene Pulitsky, another experienced hurler. Other members from last year's squad that will be available are Joe and George Kosty, Jack So- kol, .lack Gallagher, and Stanley Wainiski, MANAGERS Good efficient managers are of as vital im- portance to a team as the coaches themselves. It is these boys who see that all the equip- ment, so essential to a football team, is kept in good condition. It is also their job to line the field for the games. They have many oth- er tasks, which are too numerous to mention here. SPORTS However too much credit cannot be given to these boys who working for nothing, give a lot of time and effort to the team. In Russell Donelly the team had a friend- ly, dependable boy who did not try to boss them as some managers in the past have tried to do. Jack Gallagher, who did most of the check- ing in the medicine room and tending to min- or injuries was also a very valuable assistant. The two undergraduate managers, Fred Bucci and Wesley Kreuter, worked hard to satisfy the senior boys. CHEERLEADERS As in all such cases it is the duty of the cheerleaders to inspire the fans in the stands to cheer loudly and sincerely for their teams. The Brownie cheerleaders, headed by pretty Dolores Murphy, carried out their jobs to the T. The Brownie cheerleaders were active at all games doing their best to encourage their team and give them initiative to play harder. The fans responded gladly to their requests as witnessed by the wild ovations the Brown- ies received throughout numerous occasions. The cheerleaders, like the players, practic- ed hard and faithfully to obtain perfection in their maneuvers. To them should be extended a lot of credit for keeping the standards of the Brownies at a high peak. Page 64 Betty Murphy is the dynamic little senior, who was one of the peppiest of the group. Dolores Murphy is the head cheerleader and never misses a game. Phyllis Baer is an efficient sophomore who should prove more valuable in coming years. She is a conscientious worker who tries her best. Wallace Rohrer has gotten as many laughs from the crowd by his trucking as he got by cheers. He has another year of shouting through the megaphone. David Wyatt is Murphy's understudy for head cheerleader and the school's feminity usually followed his cheers. Merle Sidle is a most energetic sophomore who has made quite a hit with the fairer sex. Richard Shaffer, the sophomore president, completes this active group and it is his cheery grin that has made him so many friends. TRACK ln past years, Brownie track teams have not fared so well, but Coach Shelton has high hopes of turning out a successful team in the future. As Mr. Shelton says, With a new field to practice on, and with all our new equipment and cooperation from the athletic board, there is no reason why we cannot be successful. We have the material, if only the boys will respond. Although they were weak last season, the Brownies entered six meets and gave a fair account of themselves. Coach Shelton also expressed the hope of holding the Fayette County and Big Six meets -- fzvwnuwssg MANAGERS BACK ROW-Dewayne Ebbert, Fred Bucci, Jack Gallagher. FRONT ROW-Wesley Kreuter, Bert Kotan.

CARSON MASCOTS Since every large organization has one or two mascots, it is altogether proper for the Brownie Band to have a mascot. Little Donnie Brown has marched before the Brownie Band as its mascot for two years. This lad does not only march, but he also gives exhibitions twirling the baton. By the time this boy has reached Senior High, he will be as adept at it as our Junior Peters. As a mascot for the twirling corps. Donna Jean Swyers has filled this position admirably. This little lady has won the hearts of all who have known her. For such a little girl, she shows excellent skill with the baton. Mascots Donna .Ivan Swyers. Dou- nld Brown DIRECTOR CARSON Much praise and many thanks are extend- ed to Mr. Paul Carson, the energetic spirit behind any and all honors received by the instrumental musical organizations of the Brownsville High School. lt was because of his efforts that the school has won more places in the county contests than any other school district during the last four years, lt has also been through his efforts for the first time in the history of the school, instrumental solos and groups, have placed in state con- tests. More history was made for the school re- cords when the band won the county contest for the first time. Another activity started by Mr. Carson this year was the grade school orchestra. Therefore everyone was pleased and well satisfied when he received the certificate of meritorious service to the community from A. Kramer Axton Post of the American Legion from the State Commander. He may well be proud of the certificate, as the last one was presented twenty-five years ago to Judge Harry Cottom. Page 66 HIGHEST OF HIGH STEPPERS JOSEPH PETERS DRUM MAJOR The personage who has lead the Browns- ville Band on to glory by means of his nimble fingers and high-stepping feet is Junior Pet- ers. He is well known for his adeptness at baton twirling, not only locally but in other states, for his ability has carried him far. During one of the marches of the l75 piece All County Band at Connellsville, he gave a baton twirling exhibition. This is only a little feather in his cap, for other achievements dwarfing it are the win- ning of twenty-five dollars first prize as best Drum Major at the Elks State Convention at Washington, Pa., and the winning of first Di- vision Rating at the National Contest in Al- bany, New York, and first place in the Heart of America Music Festival at Kansas City, Missouri. Not only is he an excellent drum major, but also an able actor, for he has been very active in Thespian productions, and he has proven himself a budding author of winning second place in a fire prevention essay con- test. Brownsville has indeed just cause to be proud of Junior Peters. Page 67 MAIORETTES Three very attractive Drum Majorettes who are quite talented and adept at their work are Marion Brown, Betty Jane Graef, and Dolores Salagovic. They are the leaders of the Twirling Corps and step high and mightly be- fore its members. Some of the feats they perform are very complicated and difficult to master. But whe- ther the act is difficult or easy, Brownsville's Majorettes strut out onto the field with an air of poise and assurance. This air of assur- ance, we know, has been acquired after months of grueling training and practice. They have been known to practice from six to ten hours daily in the summer to get in shape for their strenuous acrobatic activities in the fall. Majorettes-Betty J. Graef. Marion Brown. Dolores Salazovic. THE BAND MABCI-IES ON Great is the enjoyment when the celebrat- ed Brownsville Senior l-Iigh Band goes into its act. Such a statement may be proven by the numerous awards and prizes it has cap- tured this past year, The mast notable among these is the prize of one hundred dollars, won in the Firemen's Parade in Charleroi. Another most profitable experience for the entire band was the trip to Washington, Pa., to participate in the Elks State Convention Parade, The Ellcs transported the band, gave them a lunch before leaving, a dinner when they returned, and a donatfon of twenty-five dollars for the purpose of buying new hats. Not to be ignored, either, is the beautiful lav- ing cup which was the result of winning first prize in the Miners' Parade of this district. Great was the pride of the band when twenty-five of the group were chosen to be members of the First All County Band held at Connellsville l-ligh School under the spon- sorship of the Fayette County Music Asso- ciation, Among the many activities participated in by the band was the playing in the Armistice Day Parade in Connellsville where they repref sented St. Vincent College's freshmen at a football game. They paraded in Brownsf ville on l-lalloween, and in the parade before the Redstone football game, they were ac- companied by the Redstone Band and Brownsville Boy Scouts. The band seems to click with a new hit each year. Remember the trumpet fanfares in Down the Gridiron , the swing and truck in' in Alexander's Ragtime Band , the lilt- ing catch in Little Sir Echo ? And this vear it was Pop Goes the Weasel and Bugle Call Rag. Drills during football season at the games lighted band were the American flag with caps, the Dumb Drum Major Act and In, lured Player Stunt for the Monesson game. For California, the band formed the shape of a stairway and played Stairway to the Stars , and then formed the Locomotive. They had it start rolling slowly while playing, I Been BAND IN REHEARSAL l l Page 68 BAND AT 1940 SPRING CONCERT Workin' on de Railroad and California, Here l Come. Charleroi was entertained by flag twirling by Junior Peters and by the C the band formed while playing I got Rhythm . At Uniontown, they formed the words l-li-Ho while playing Heigh l-lo. Other features were echo effects on Pop Goes the Weasel and a swing arrangement of Bugle Call Rag. ln order to determine any progress it has made, the band makes recordings at school of its selections, plays them back, and listens to their own work. After doing this, they try to correct their mistakes. The band has for its officers: J. Yuliano, president, P. Gianetti, vice-president, E. Marsh, secretary, J. Mucci, treasurer, A. Rom- an, Librarian, C. Apone, Student Conductor, and C. Stevens, reporter. TWIRLING CORPS The Brownsville High School twirling corps is the largest group of its kind in all the sur- Page 69 rounding districts and accompanies the band wherever it goes. Made up of twenty-four members, it has marked improvement this year. Of course, with an additional year of prac- tice, the marching and twirling are much bet- ter, no doubt due to the fact that they start their practice even before school begins. Leading the Twirling Corps is Betty Jane Graef, one of the Drum Majorettes. These stylish mistresses of the baton sport- ed an enlarged wardrobe this year. Formerly their costumes were of white satin with blue buttons, but this year they appeared in red, white, and blue corduroy to form the flag All of these uniforms were made by Mrs. J. Clark Smith. Of course it is known that Donnie Brown represents Brownsville as the Brownie , so the Twirling Corps decided that they should have a mascot and a very charming one was found in Donna Jean Swyers. As there are but three seniors in the Corps, no one need fear that graduation will make a hole in this well-trained group. t i STRING TRIO-eLeft to right-Wanda Donati. Barbara Garcher, Carl Apone.

SMALL INSTRUMENTAL GROUPS From our very successful band and orches- tra are formed certain select groups that up- hold our school's name in the various contests held during the school year. To them it is an honor, but it requires a lot of practice and study to reach the top. Thus, members of these groups must be willing to give time in addition to that of band practice. Soon after the football games are finished in the fall, members of these groups begin to work in earnest for the spring contests, and by no means are their efforts without re- ward. After each contest the Brownsville Mu- sical Pilgrims usually return home with the lion's share of victories. Statistics show this more clearly than words, For five successive years, Brownsville l-ligh School Musicians have won first place in the county contests at Uniontown and have been high winners in the district contests for the three past years. A new group this year, but one we may well be proud of for its first year's work, is the String Trio. At the county and district contests, this group placed first and won the right to represent Brownsville in the State Contests at New Castle in April. To carry on the record of past years, the Brass Sextet won first place in the county contests to make the score read-first place for five consecutive years. This group placed second in the district contests and is much in demand at social gatherings. Another new group is the Hinky Dinky Band, which placed second in the county contests. This small group is a band in itself, and you should hear the music they can pro- duce, An odd-sounding group, because of the combination of double reed instruments, woodwind instruments, and the French horn, is the Woodwind Quintet, It placed first in the county contest and second in the district contest held in California. Page 70 THE NEW MUSIC ROOM And they don't live here any more. Who? Why, the music department. Where did they move? To the former gym and shop quarters. The music room's new home is certainly con- trasted in size with last year's crowded quar- ters. The music room now is large enough to hold comfortably the members of the orches- tra and band, instruments for storage, and all miscellaneous equipment. There are also additional sorting racks, filing cabinets, pig- eon holes, cabinets, and card indexes. Music of high and low pitch can be heard from the music room at noon, in the after- noon, and after school, for practice makes perfect. B. l-l. S. is definitely music conscious. AMATEUR TOSCANINIS Although the student body as a whole sel- dom hears much about it, although it doesn't get into the headlines, and although it doesn't have its name in lights, the orchestra is a splendid and willing organization. lt gives the necessary musical background for class plays, Thespian plays, and operettas. lt serves the community by giving concerts at churches and a school concert in conjunction with the chorus. The Brownsville High School Orchestra was represented in the All County Orchestra by seventeen members, the largest group from any one orchestra. Brownsville was also lionored by having one of its orchestra mem- bers to act as the concert mistress of this All County Orchestra. This outstanding young lady is Wanda Donati who at the county con- test won first place on the violin. She also acts as the Student Conductor of the orches- tra. Others who have won recognition for themselves in past years by their musical abi- lity in winning places in contests are Carl Apone, James l-lorvath, Carl Kendall, and John Phillips.

Page 73 VOCAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT Ott with the old and on with the new. This old adage was proven when the music department was transferred from room lO5 to the former manual arts shop. In this new home, larger chorus classes are accommodated, and there is more working room for the student and teacher, From 8:45 a. m. to 9:30 a. m., a small group of girls may be heard singing, It not singing, luscious pieces ot gossip are passed around the room. The second period chorus class is somewhat like the first, except that it is larger and loud- er, In the fourth period chorus class, deep bass and high tenor voices are mingled with those of the sweet soprano and husky alto vo- i ALTO. S. Mitchell: Soprano. L. David: Second Soprano. M. L. Newell. ices. This as you may recognize by now, is the mixed chorus. At this point it is proper to mention some- thing about the conductor of these vociferous people. Mr. l-loward Swyers, the leader, has shown great patience in directing these vari- ous groups. l-le has proven his ability by pro- ducing several singing groups and soloists who have won at the county and district contests. From the first, second, and fourth period chorus classes, a Girls' Ensemble has been composed. This group is composed of the bet- ter voices of the various classes. To be a member of this group, a girl must compete with other members by having their voices tested individually. These small groups are quite select, being composed of the best voices of the four class- es, and under the able supervision of Mr. Swyers, the talent of each of these students has been improved. The soloists are selected from these groups. At the county contests held in Uniontown on March 22, the Girls' Ensemble ranked first. When this group traveled to California State Teachers College to the district contests on April 5, it again ranked first. Another popular music group is the Mix- ed Ensemble. lt is composed of the boys of the fourth period class, lthose who wish itl , and the Boys Glee Club. The girls are taken from the various chorus classes. These groups meet at noon and after school to practice for con- certs, or public performances. At the county contests this year, this group also ranked first. Again at the district contests this group proved its skill by winning first place, The young ladies with the sweet voices who comprise the Girls Trio are Laurice David, so- prano, Mary Lou Newell, contralto, and Shir- ley Mitchell, alto. They have proved their worth by winning third place in the county contest Another popular small group is the Boys Quartet. At Uniontown they participated in the county contest and received third place. The boys composing this group are Benny Nielson, Bill Shaffer, Glenn Wasson, and Cur- tis Mills. A new group this year is the Mixed Quar- tet. lt is composed of two female voices and two male voices. The members of this group are Benny Nielson, Laurice David, Mary Lou Newell, and Leonard Ackerman. This group placed third at the county contests. Besides these groups, a number of boys and girls participated as vocal soloists. The student soloists are soprano, Laurice David, alto, Mary Lou Newell, baritone, Leonard Ackerman, and tenor, Charles Burrell. At the county and also the district contests the tenor soloist ranked first. On April l8, and l9, the first place win- ners in the district contests will travel to New Castle, Pennsylvania, to compete again for final elimination for the National Contest which will be held at Atlantic City during the month of May. Page 74 OPERETTA- H. M. S. PlNAFORE Let us go behind the scenes and see how much work goes into the production of an opf eretta and the fun the cast and stage crew have while practicing. See those boys over there in the wide straw hats? Don't they look disgusted? But waitl When the boys see the en- tire sailor costumes, their vanity is appeased and once again peace reigns supreme, Well, look at the Captain of the good ship, Pina- foref' He keeps tripping on that sword, but time will mend his errors, and he will learn how to buckle a sword. The ladies of the cho- rus are not accustomed to those hoops yet. Over there is Sir Joseph in his satin breeches, laces, and frills. But that poorly fitted white wig is spoiling his handsome appearance. Per- haps it will be better to powder his hair. Yes, that looks more natural. Once again the sail- or boys claim our attention, Miss Donahey is applying those sideburns which make Clark Gable look so handsome. But listen to their guffaws, the whiskers tickle their ears! Who are these industrious folks? Why they are the stage crew and they have worked hard to con- struct the poop-deck. lt was a very difficult job, for it must be strong enough to support two actors at once. Now, it is the great night. The auditorium is filling rapidly and backstage all is a bustle. But in a quiet corner the makeup is being ap- plied by new methods. One girl applies the powder, and one has charge of the rouge. At the end of the assembly line, the members of our cast have a very professional appearance. To help the audience get in the mood for the presentation, the stage crew has con- structed a ship's rail, adorned with authentic life preservers, and placed in front of the cur- tain. The audience settles back to the quiet en- joyment of the scenes before them. There is no indication of all the excitement that takes place backstage during this smooth perform- ance. The audience applauds at the end of the Operetta, but they would have enjoyed it even more if they could have been behind the scenes during its production.

One of those girls in the Rifle Club have scored a bulls- eye. lt is quite an achievement even though you may not think so. But, have you ever tried? Precision and coordination make for the perfect shot and it requires practice. lt takes so little to ruin a shooter's score that it would be very difficult to list the reasons. The de- sire to develop this ability is perhaps the clue to the rapidly increasing popularity of this ac- tivity in high schools. Approximately two hundred teams com- peted in the National Rifle Association Leag- ue Matches this year. A great many other teams operated independently without affili- ating with the national organization. William Randolph l-learst, the great news- paper man, recognized the value of this oc- tivity in the life of a nation sponsored match- es for both junior and adult teams and donat- ed suitable trophies for both. The most consistent performer on this year's team was Janet Six, but she had stiff competition all the way. Shooters showing the most improvement were Marylee Deyarmon, Betty Jane Graef, and Doris Wright. The fine form displayed by two newcomers, Mary Ann Pletcher and Blanche Porter, won places for them on the team which represented the club in matches. Mary Black, Rose Francis, Nor- ma Greenberg, Barbara Gorcher, and Lucille l-laregsin all performed creditably with the team. Since only one of these girls shall be lost through graduation, the club can look to the future with confidence. Without doubt, next season will be the best the club will have experienced in regard to shooting ability. Much credit is due the girls of the club who sacrificed their lunch hour to sell candy in the halls to pay for the ammunition and other expenses incidental to holding matches, The club has been coached by Mr. J. E. Beswick since it was organized five years ago. He has attended every meeting where firing was done. ln addition to holding an Instruc- tor's Commission granted by the National Rifle Association, Mr. Beswick served an en- listment in the LJ. S. Army Air Service. lTop Picture' Seated: Civnr'vievi' Green. Nanry Gres-im'oocl. Norma Craunpe. D iroihy Shunk. Rosi- Francis. Slmotimz: Norma Grtlenlyfwg. Batty Jam- Gravf. Marylee Dt-yarmoii.

The members at times find it is necessary to call forth all their potience in serving the cus- tomer but are amply repaid in feeling that they are helping, The duties consist of check- ing, dusting, and mending the books that we thoughtless fellow students treat so careless- ly. All duties are accomplished with the com- petent aid and advice of the sponsor, Mrs. Troth. As officers of this most worthwhile club are Lillian Christner, president land a very good president she isl, Albert Springer, vice presi- dent la voice seldom heordl Dorothy Fillip- pone, secretary lshe has the parliamentary proceedings down pat l , and Harriet Sidler, treasurer lshe is a financial wizardl . Only the conscientious members know of the enjoy- ment and pleasure gained from the service given, BOYS' PATROL These are the members of our traffic police force, They are strong, healthy-bodied young men organized to promote the safety of stu- dents traveling home from school. Every day, in every kind of weather-rain, snow, slush, or sleet, these boys may be seen standing at the junction of High and Angle Streets, guid- ing the children safely across the rough traf- fic, At the beginning of the year, these boys were the ones who volunteered when a call for patrol duty was put forth. To be qualified for this position, they had to have former ex- perience in this line of work or a willingness to learn the job.

Thespians The Brownsville Senior High School Thes- pian Troupe Number l87, now in its tenth year of existence, has proved to be very active. Its productions have been ably directed by the Misses Donahey and Grossman. The Thespions hold their meetings every Thursday alternating between after school meetings and evening meetings. Twice a month a social meeting is held at which time one act plays are presented. The participants of these plays are those students who are try- ing to earn enough lines to become members of the troupe. The proverb They are more to be pitied than censured really holds true to these future Thespions. They have to en- dure practically everything but rotten toma- toes, but it is all in fun as they all know. Initiotions are held three times a year. At the beginning of the year, mid-semester, and at the end of the year. At the formal initi- ations, the initiates take an oath, pledging their support and best services to all drama- tics in which they may be associated. At an informal initiation the initiates have to do everything from acting in an original drama to singing while eating a handful of crackers. The following are programs from the two plays which were produced. The Chinese Chest , a three act play pre- sented November 5, l94O. The characters During National Drama Week which was held from February 6 to the l3th, another three act play was held. lt was Spooky Tav- ern. The various roles were taken by the fol- lowing people: Lon Hacker Ghost Woman Lucy Hacker Joyce Wingate Florabel Wingate Bedelia .

Lillian Christner Joe Slivak Edward Sweeney Under the guidance and leadership of the following officers: president, William Shaf- fer, vice-president, Hilda Clingan, secretary, Eleanor Stehman, treasurer, Lillian Christ- ner, and an executive board consisting of Do- lores Murphy, Janet Six, and Phyllis Baer the club has proved very active. This is one of the oldest clubs in the high school and is continually trying at its best to bring some pleasure to the high school by presenting their plays to the student body. They should be heartily thanked for the ser- vice that they have rendered to the school. Back Row Kathryn Milonar, May Hsrre- Lois Burkhart. Helen Eicher. Wallis Rohrer, Louis Beat- tiv.

It was established during the first semester of the present school year. It was temporarily sponsored by the Thes- pian Troupe until they adopted their faculty sponsor, Mr. Howard Swyers. Now, however, expressing its thanks but with the hope of be- ing an independent organization, it has brok- en away from its organizing sponsor. lt has stated that its desire is to cooperate rather than compete with Thespians and has proven this point by presenting several plays at the followers of Thespes' socials, All Dramatic Club members are extended the opportunity to participate in Thespian plays, if not by acting, by such work as backstage help, ap- plying make-up, and similar duties, however simple, which are nevertheless compulsory for a successful public performance. lt is by such participation in these activities that they may gain admittance to Thespians, and yet retain their membership in the Dramatic Club. The Dramatic Club, although toddling in its infancy, with such foundations as its wor- thy constitution, officers, sponsor, active com- mittees, and ambitious members, expects to be quite stable and able to stand on its own feet in the years to come. The club officers of the first semester were: Richard Shaffer, president, Jeanne Swearin- gen, vice-president, and Eva Rae Parks, sec- retary-treasurer. Due to the provision in the constitution for semesterly elections, the fol- lowing officers were chosen for the second semester: Richard Shaffer, president, Mary Ann Pletcher, vice-president, and Margaret Rohrer, secretary-treasurer. The meetings are held weekly on Tuesday. They alternate, one week having an after-school business session and the following week an evening social. The club has made attempts to produce a sophomore class play or give o public per- formance of a three-act play and numerous other things, but due to the fullness of the school calendar and its late start, it has been denied these privileges. Next year appears very promising for club activities and many of the requests rejected this year are likely to be granted. The club members attended the drama festival at the State Teachers College, California, Pennsylvania with the Thespian Troupe. They also played joint host with the Thes- pians in a good-neighbor night held in May. A very entertaining program was presented, which met the approval of the guests of the evening, who were dramatists of the sur- rounding school districts. The social meetings consist of one-act plays presented by the members, voluntary enter- tainment features, dancing, and usually re- freshments are served. The club intends to ob- tain demonstrationists and lecturers for their social meetings in the future. Under the capable guidance of Mr. How- ard Swyers, their sponsor, and their officers, this club with the continued cooperative feel- ing among its members is expected to rise to the top-ranking club of the school.

TRI-HI-Y The Tri-Hi-Y, one of the largest clubs in school, consists of approximately forty-five members. An acitve group, it meets every Monday evening at 7:l5 at the Brownsville Senior High School. Under the able direction of Mrs. Lewis Hayes, this organization has accomplished many noteworthy things during this year. Their primary goal, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character , has been achieved in many dif- ferent ways. At Thanksgiving time they all rallied splendidly in distributing Thanksgiv- ing baskets among the needy in the borough and set a shining example for the rest of the school. The club gave five dollars to the Brownsville Christmas Community Fund, be- sides taking upon themselves the task of erecting a Christmas Tree in the front hall of the Senior High School as they have done every year. Another commendable project was the holding of a reception for mothers of the members. Underlying their pleasant associ- ations at meetings and their enjoyable club affairs, is a spirit that makes for the praise- woythy accomplishments of the Tri-Hi-Y QIFS. ln the way of entertainment and in order to acquire money for various purposes, dances and bake sales were sponsored. The Tri-Hi-Y has sponsored Sweater Hops at the gym and Page on February 28, held an Invitation Dance, which was the talk of the school for weeks. Members are voted in by the club, and it is the duty of each individual to do as much as she can for the club as a whole. The hearty cooperation of all the girls has resulted in a well-organized club. After a girl has been voted in, she is initiated in a formal ceremony and also an informal one composed of various stunts followed by a party, the stunts all being of a hilarious nature. The officers of the Tri-Hi-Y are Eleanor Stehman, president, Wilma Seeman, vice pre- sident, Elsie Jean Gregg, secretary, and Janet Six, treasurer. Through their efforts and guid- ance, the girls have a splendid opportunity to become acquainted with each other and to help worthy charities while enjoying a more complete social life. The club represented by the red, white, and blue triangle insignia is a religious but non- sectarion high school organization sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. It is a sister organization to the Hi-Y and has the district camp at Lau- relville near Mount Pleasant in Allegheny County. Being a national group and the strongest in eastern United States, it is one of the oldest charter clubs in Pennsylvania. More power to itl l HOME ECONOMICS Buck Row: Viriziniu Llllll'.lE'H.

OUR HOMEMAKERS The Home Economics Club functions under the leadership of Miss Gribble. The purpose of the club is to teach girls better home- making, ln this group they learn the various tricks of needlework and cooldng. One can see on their activity calendar that this group of girls has gone skating, has had a Saint Patricl4's Day party and has had a spaghetti dinner. ln the spring the Senior girls of two years' standing go to Pittsburgh for the week-end. To earn money the girls sold refreshments at the football games. The officers leading this club are: President, Helen Mercer, Vice- President, Ruth Starr, Secretary, Dorothy Filippone, Treasurer, Bertha Lacotta. Ill-Y HI-Y Monday evening finds the twenty-five members of the B. H. S, Hi-Y attending a business-like orderly meeting at the Senior High building where clean sports, clean speech clean habits, and clean scholarship are stress- ed by the club. lt was established with thoughts of promoting citizenship, fellowship, and Christian ideals throughout the boys of school age. This year the Hi-Y boys assisted their Tri- Hi-Y sisters in promoting a semi-formal dance at the Junior High Gym. The sponsor of the Hi-Y Club is Mr. Gib- son and the various officers are: President, Edwin Hatfield, Vice-President, Robert Wible, Secretary, Jack Sokol, and Treasurer, Bob Secrist. Buck Row N.

THE SPANISH CLUB Gaining new interest each year, this tive year old club, under the sponsorship ot Miss Crow, now has twenty-tour members. The meetings, held every Tuesday have Robert Wible, Betty Grossman, Thomas King, and Pete Gresh as its officers. As tar as possible the members try to con- duct meetings in Spanish, they buy books tor the new Spanish library and as a grand tlourish, a Spanish party is held once a year. Spanish is taught in the classroom, but these students learn more ot it in an enjoyable way through their club meetings. THE FRENCH CLUB This club was organized three years ago by Miss Crow, and is now progressing with much vim and vigor. The members, during the course ot the meetings gain a little bet- ter knowledge ot French and French cus- toms, and what is more important, at least to them, have tun doing it. lt is Miss Crow's wish that some day the French Club will as- sist in turning out a member who is able to speak that a Frenchman could understand. The leaders of the group are Robert Beck- er, President, Eleanor Stehman, Vice-presi- dent, Alice Guseman, Secretary, and Bill Hamill, Treasurer.

STUDENT COUNCIL When new laws governing the student body have to be made, or when laws have to be changed, the ruling body, or the Student Council is always on the job. The Student Council is composed of a democratic group of boys and girls, elected to their positions by their respective home rooms to represent them. Their meetings, which are held twice a month, are very lively sometimes, when in- teresting questions arouse their interest, One of the most lively debates concerned the changes to be made in the hall traffic, To eliminate the congestion in the traffic, the stair traffic was changed. This plan was made known to the students, and after it had been tried for several weeks it was adopted Der- manently. Another plan that the student council formed and adopted was the dis- missal of the classes at noon, This plan called for a three-minute interval between the dismissal of the three classes. Besides these changes, they issue and re- voke charters, grant or refuse petitions, award activity letters to deserving seniors, Thirty outstanding seniors were thus honored this year. The points are set by the Student Coun- cil and are based on the extra-curricular cre- dits that they have earned during their three years of high school. Another responsibility of the Student Coun- cil is to sponsor the publication of the year- book. This year from a group of names sub- mitted from the various classes, the Student Council selected representative students from each group which compose the staff. Thus, the organization with Alberta Spring- er as president, Joe Vaccaro, vice-president, Suzanne Reed, secretary, and Marion Dusen- berry, treasurer, has practiced citizenship. They originate and execute laws and finally seek from the student body only what good citizenship demands. Back Row-Larry Eckwell, Donald Swogger.

Did you ever hear of the Trojans? That is the way we worked. Of course we do not mean to present ourselves as virtuous sacrificers, laying aside all other pleasures that the l94l class could remember this year forever with a worthwhile momento, but we are rather proud of ourselves. We hope our efforts will be appreciated, Sincerely yours, The Staff Who was the queen bee in all this hive of energy? Why, Miss Jean Donahey, of course. Thanks a million, Miss Donahey, for your splendid efforts. Now for the staff individually. That envi- able and much-sought position of Editor-in- Chief was held with capability by Alberta Springer. With Merle Cunningham holding the reins and Shirley Mitchell assisting him, the work of the Senior write-ups was turned out in excellent shape. Doris Wright held down the office of Junior Editor and general assistant. Mary Jane Woicik did a good job as Sophomore Editor and proof reader. Those elusive club and organization write-ups were, at length, tended to by Alice Guseman as Activities Editor with Suzanne Reed to help her. Josephine Kozl- evchar and Joseph Hughes took care of mounting photographs and husky Leonard Ackerman did splendidly as Sports Editor. Another group who did their share of work and should not go unrecognized are five ty- pists who got all this material ready for the printer, Bethel Kerfoot, Thelma Brown, Ruth Crable, Irene Sabatini, and Ethel Vig. YEARBOOK OFFICERS Standing: Miss Donahey Seated: :Left to Righti Alberta Springer. Ethel Vig. But what about the financial end of the thing? Ethel Vig, Louise Magaldi, and Mary McDonough, as business managers, took care of that with the help of Bill Shaffer, Marylee Deyarmon, Nelson Williams, and Robert Se- crist. The other staff members were Barbara Garcher, Margaret Decovich and Pete Rose. A more cooperative staff would be hard to find. This book is a monument to their labors.

That girl up front is our president, Alice Guseman. She can't keep order when we be- gin expounding our Intellectual view- points, but she can tell the best stories! Enjoy writing letters? Doris Rutherford, vice president, writes very interesting ones, She peps up an uninspirational lag with her pro- gram. Aren't the minutes interesting? That's our secretary, Rose He-rkovitz's, talent, but we all keep her too busy to develop it. That smiling miss with the big smile is Wil- ma Seeman. She keeps our records straight in the role of treasurer. The girl with the smiling voice is Emogene Sutherland who is the author of Spot's Thoughts. Have you heard the autobiography of Do- ris Wright? If you haven't, you've missed an amusing story of an interesting girl. Suzanne Reed expresses her viewpoint in essays. For further information on definite ideas, read some of Suzanne's writings. Agnes Wilkinson delights in poetry. Very interesting sketches are portrayed in her iot- tings. Mary Jane Wojcik brings a very interest- ing slant on common articles which most folks ignore. Peter Rose is very busily engaged in writ- ing a play. My classmates have dubbed me, Thelma Brown iwho adds to her scores of poems Laurel Heritage l the connoisseur of poetry. Our quiet, retiring counselor, sponsor, and friend is Miss McGinty. lt is to her that we go with our literary troubles, and we never leave without a satisfactory solution, Perhaps someday you will recognize our names in an author's review. We hope sol SPOT'S THOUGHTS That pestering flea discourages me l-le's always hanging around. lt's first my ear and then my knee Why doesn't he bite some hound? It seems he's always making me scratch No matter where I be. You know it's very embarrassing To harbor a lowly flea. lf human beings had to fight A flea throughout their life, l'm sure someone would do some deed To end this poor dog's strife. by Emogene Sutherland Page 86 Q 'P- 'H SNAPSHCTS 1 Eh-.umm Thonxpfon.
