V -- . ,Lf ' I -u When God created the earth, he flung a web of green over the landscape with the lavish and practiced hand of a mas- ter painter. Well did he know that it add- ed the finishing touch to his masterpiece. In our own humble way we have to some extent imitated the greatest Artist of all time. We have used as a symbol of our dedicatee's field of study, the soft green shades of field, forest, and mead- ow, carefully we have selected a pig- ment formed from the colors of our sen- ior class. Here is the result, submitted with this plea for your approval. May you, the reader, be a nature lov- er, may you have in your heart a for- giveness for our blunders, an apprecia- tion of beauty, and an enduring fondness for memories revived by your copy of the l936 Oracle DEDICATIQN MR. ALVIN T. BUCK Because he has always proved a wise counse- lor, genuine friend, and constant inspiration, and because he has given to all his classes a greater love for Nature, we, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six. respect- fully dedicate this volume of the Oracle :Then Pan, the rural god, did gently call Her name, and softly comfort her despair' -Elizabeth Browning Although the more popular conception of Pan, Greek god of fields and forests, is that of a mischievous and fun loving spirit, he might be more truly represented as a sympa- thetic divinity, with the tender heart that is painted in the above lines. As Pan was the comforter of all in his rural domain, so is the administration of Ebensburg-Cambria a guide and helping hand to all students under its authority. The school board, the principal, and the faculty are influential in building our characters and in shaping our destinies. To them we extend our ungrudging admiration. T ' wqfgg?

The decision to send or not to send a pupil to high school was usually made by the family. The individual who presented himself for ad- mission to a secondary school generally knew what he was seeking. He knew in advance the nature of the opportunities offered by the school and successful accomplishment on his part was assumed. It was taken for granted by the individual that the family sacrifice should not be made in vain and that the school was not maintained for those who could not profit from the academic op- portunities provided. Today the situation has been greatly changed. In most communities public senti- ment for advanced education is so strong that virtually all children under eighteen years of age are enrolled in secondary schools. As a result, the schools had to make certain changes in organization to meet the needs of its varied personnel. Instead of the required course de- signed to prepare for admission to college, many curriculums are now offered from which pupils may select. The necessity for greater educational opportunity in this community has been realized and the pupils who enter school this fall will have a chance to select courses that will provide for their aptitudes. Our new addition will enable us to give do- mestic science to the girls and industrial train- ing to those who are so inclined. The increase in course offerings represents an effort on the part of the school to meet the various incli- nations of our pupil personnel. E. M. JOHNSTON principai 's Message E.

CLE THE 1936 O R ACLE Essay -- Nature For thousands of years, Nature has been a modest, incalculable lady. When mortals have attempted to ferret out her secrets, she has retired, like a Turkish wom- an, behind her veil of mystery. Learned men have sought some great philosophy from the ebb and flow of the sea, the ever changing seasons, only to be met with rebuffg poets have basked in a glorified inspiration which they do not understand. Even lov- ers, who are perhaps most sympathetic of all, find something in the moonlight and scent of flowers which moves them, but is unexplainable. The great naturalist, Thoreau, attempts to account for the failure of all these dreamers and students by stating, Nature has no human inhabitant who appreciates her. Though this theory might have been too true a short year ago, it is not appli- cable today. Now that our country has been through practically every type of dis- aster that Nature could invent, we are only too ready to acknowledge her as mistress. Unforgettable-this past winter, which has alternately thrilled and chilled us with heavy snowfalls, a flood that has drowned us like so many rats, and spring tornadoes with their unusually large number of casualties, making the grand and glorious total of a thousand lives for this grasping old dame to claim. One usually finds some beauty, mingled with the misery. Deep drifts of snow piled up a bewildering spectacle that charmed the eye at the same time they isolated towns, closed schools, and wearied corps of highway workers. Even at 30 degrees be- low zero, one could marvel with Whittier at: A universe of sky and snow The old familiar sights of ours Took marvelous shape. A smooth white mound the brush pile showed, A fenceless drift what once was road. After the blizzards, the floods. These had not even a pretence to beauty, just an ugly, muddy, dreariness which laid its mark on cities throughout the Eastern States. Bridges, houses, cars were tossed as easily as matchboxes upon the swirling waters, then thrown ludicrously to whatever would receive them. Hundreds of families lost their homes, the stock of stores was completely ruined, and towns were placed under martial law to prevent looting. Ebensburg suffered very little, but Johnstown felt the fury of a flood comparable to the famous one of 1889. These casualties show the more terrifying aspect of Nature. To be entirely just, her serene moments are as many. Fickle could not describe her. She is more than that- A creature of moods, of caprices, of cross purposes, gloomy and downcast to- day, and all light and joy tomorrow, caressing and tender one moment, and severe and frigid the next, full of genius, full of folly, full of extreme, to be read and understood, not by rule, but by subtle signs and indirections-by a look, a glance, a presence, as we read and understand a man or a Womanf,-John Burroughs.

That is the chatter of cliques in the auditorium at noon time, the rush of many feet to teacher's desk in study hall, the sub- dued rustle of notes passed stealthily over shoulders and around seats. That is P. O. D. reports, grasshoppers and other crawling things, doing in Rome as the Romans do, and the breaking of test tubes in Chemistry lab. That is last, romancing, memorizing, trans- lating, reciting, studying. GLASSES Tl-IE lQ3o 'ORACLE Seniors 4 Flower Colorg Yellow Tea Rose Blue and Gold Motto Not Ar The Top But Climbing Students believed for centuries that birds were creatures of great in- telligence. Now after years of observation naturalists tell us that our feather- ed friends hardly think at all. They are lucky! They enter life with an almost ideal equipment for dealing with their environment. If you and I were as fortunate, we would leap from the cradle with a ready made ability to endure the hardships of the world. Instinct guides the complex maneu- vers of birdsg but we have been given a gift of intelligence from God, which we must develop through study, hard work, and practical experience. As our first step in this development, we successfully completed an ele- mentary course of education, wherein we obtained the primary principles of learning. Now after four years of further study we have secured a high school education. We entered this institution of learning in 1932-one hundred seventy- five carefree youngsters. We were the largest class ever to have entered this school. The title of Sophomores gave us a feeling of learnedness. That the upper classmen seemed to have dispensed with some of their superiority gave us encouragement as we continued our struggle toward success. Then, as Juniors we were challenged tc prove our worth, or fail and shame the class. We worked diligently to accomplish the former. A long anticipa- ted thrill came when we received our class rings, which seemed far more glamorous than those of our predecessors. And then, of course, our Prom was something which we will not easily forget. On the whole, we profited immensely by spending another year in our high school. We became more mature young men and women, who thought more clearly and more intelli- gently. Our senior year was full of surprises. The snow storms which caused school to be suspended for several days, and then the devastating floods were catastrophes which surely helped to make our last year eventful. We were beseiged with orders for caps, gowns, invitations, and penants, but we en- joyed every moment. The financing of the Oracle, the greatest of our achievements, was a hard job, but, oh, the fun we had inventing and plan- ning projects for every month. Commencement and Baccalaureate, and then all was over. Now we are ready to fly from our accustomed habitats into a great and complicated world. With a good foundation and with faith in the Divine and in Mankind, may we be as successful as our feathered friends in achiev- ing our purpose in this world.

Evans --- Vice President A Marx brother grin-the pal of pals-who can't resist making impromptu speeches-quite the execu- tive-Coach Edwards' right-hand man--need we go further than - local boy makes good. Charles S. Rowland --- Treasurer Get your class dues in - How many subscrip- tions? - Step on it it, Betts! - Shoot -Yes, it's Chick again--the perfect example of a debonair man- of-the-world as seen in Esquire - except for his size. Marguerite Mary Shoemaker --- Secretary A blonde of blondes with a happy-go-lucky atti- tude-even to chicks in an oven--four years of minutes writing-hilarity and flying hair onthe cheer leader's bench-personality plus-and Westmont CPD -who knows?

In Massie's hands the ball goes meekly round and round and comes out-through the basket! Guy Askew Another martyr to the cause of the great reading public-for getting up early on cold mornings is not our idea of fun-if good things come in small pack- ages-Guy's the top. Mary Balog Mary, Mary, quite contrary-why are you such a puzzle? Imagine a girl who takes her studies se- riously -- yet who likes to play post office - and though reticent, giggles most alarmingly. i Lyle Bartlebaugh Not a care in the world, nor a serious thought in his head-spends all his leisure time in the woods- in fact, hunting and trapping are his favorite pastimes --other than just plain 1oafing. Ioseph Battistcx Portrait of Joe-a lanky, laconic figure lounging lazily against the wall with a hat perched nonchalantly on the' back of his head-also, some agreeable pals and an indispensable cig. NKZOIW Tl-IE 1936 GRA Frank I. Blair A white tossle cap, horse-laughs, and impish tricks -that's Pesky all over-in his serious moments he fancies himself a lawyer-oh, but Pesky, why waste your envied talent as a knitter? Philip K. Blough King of Rhythm - flash of lightning, popular songs, shuffling feet-basketball shots that go in de- spite the most uncanny angles-foolish philosophy and silly symphony make the perfect clown. Iames Buck You can't see Jim for his grin-he's always shoot- ing high for a laugh-but sometimes his jokes don't quite hit the spot-really A-x as a basketeer and in noontime volleyball games. Wade Burkhart Wade knows the secret of popularity-be a fly- by-night-and you won't wear out your welcome- but we found that he was also a regular fella - so we were sorry to see him leave in February. Shirley M. Buterbaugh The evenest of dispositions-has two interests in life-dancing and Heinie CDutch for H,enryJ- but before anything else, she plans to lead a hardworking life as another Tillie the Toilet.

Chick A rosy complexion, dreamy eyes, and a shy smile -yearns to tap-dance like Eleanor Powell-a little of a tease, a lot of languor-and a football fan no matter what the weather. Iennie M. Cray Like the hit songs of the week, Jennie came un- expectedly and has been steadily rising to the top ever since-just can't keep off the honor roll-her ambition is to find a partner for chess-who can out- play her. Eugene O. Davis , Trying to be sober and can't-his smile betrays him-that walk-untroubled, happy, but careful- easy to know, hard to understand-a coupe that can beat the bus-little things in a big way. 912216- THE IQ3 Lloyd G. Davis Our senior Emerson, Thoreau, Whittier, or what have you? Friend Rain Cloud's boon companion is his dictionary. We predict another Robert Frost, unless Lloyd is a Lincoln in disguise. Mary Martha Davis Mary Martie's pet aversions are dancing, boys, and chewing gum-sophisticated-could pose as a bored young thing with a passion for the dramatic and the ultra-modern-a yawn, a lift of the eyebrows, a flut- ter, and she's gone. Richard E. Davis, Ir. A quiet fellow in the class-room -but how he does blossom forth at square dances-claims that he can whirl to Turkey in the Straw with the best of the whippersnappers, by cracky! Willis L. Davis An enthusiastic sportsman-who prefers basket- ball-another Benjamin Franklin when it comes to horse-sense -with a drawling speech -and black curly hair-aims to keep one foot on the ground. Inez C.

Rose Betty Domenickelli A walking dental advertisement-pretty dimples -and a voice you don't forget-the Leader Club en- thusiast-a wizard in typing-in short, the girl of our dreams come true, 'P Ictck Elder The class's star filibuster-can talk about any- thing from politics to fleas-to avoid one recitation- prides himself on his reputation as a he-man-and dis- dains to become a law-abiding citizen. H. M.

Mildred Evans A cheerful smile-a jolly Hello - that's Mid- the girl who never worries-and can always be found washing blackboards-a bit on the conversational side -but easy to get along with-so she has loads of friends. Leon Gajecki A triple sports-headliner-Coaches at Penn State should go into ecstasies over Ga-Ga's football, basket- ball, and baseball records-but who would guess that he has such a romantic soul? Susan I ane Gardner There was a little girl, and she had a little curl -a prospective genius, though we can't say whether she will be a Louisa Alcott or a Gertrude Stein-pro- fesses a fondness for ice skating on moonlit nights. Emma I. Gilmitti So energetic that five subjects, any number of ac- tivities, and keeping on the honor roll don't give her enough to do-dances in the Ginger Roger's mode- and that saxophone! THE 1936 ORACLE Frank P. Giraulo An expert blocker who was missed by the team this year-a typical Latin with flashing white teeth and straight black hair-but no mandolin or roman- tic impulses-at least we have never heard of any. Charles I. Goldy Chuck is certainly not fickle-has had a case of heart trouble for about four years-sleeps with his eyes open-in P. O. D. class-but then, his motto is Don't take life too seriously. Willard Good One of these two-fisted, square-jawed women-hat- ers-who can't help thrilling the girls by playing a guitar and mouth organ simultaneously-a combina- tion so devastating as to bowl over even Major Bowes. Vera M. Goughnour The girl who reads five books a week and is a habitual misser of the bus-no, you're wrong, Vera's not slow-just too efficient-teachers keep her work- ing overtime. Anna Louise Griffith A laugh like a piccolo trill, and an all-over smile -she seems to think it's a sin to waste a minute-so relaxes only at the movies-the faculty sigh -- Ah, for more students like Anna Louise. 26 F..

Mary Sabella Neat, petite, angelic-a timid little Miss who takes herself, oh, so seriously-but everyone has an ambition, and Mary's aim is to become an authority on beauty care. C. Clare Sakerak If you happen to see a gang of boys Waiting at the gate for Katy, don't be surprised-she's really very cute-a pleasing cafeteria assistant-with the ability to strike a rather mean ball. I Charles G. Scanlan The reason cows were invented-so Charles could deliberate-but then he believes in vigorous physical exercise- for other people. Frances C. Sharhaugh Madonna-like features that would inspire Raphael -the gentle manners and soothing quietness of a nurse -yet she must have her silly moments-or why that frivolous nickname, Fanny ? 32 M. milk them-a real dirt-farmer who's proud of it- Tl-IE lea Florence Colette Shoemaker What Colette does mainly is work-cashier at the movies, bake sale chairman, dance committees-but never in school-loves secrets-also has her silly moments-and a natural inclination toward nursing. Thomas A. Shoemaker Our greatest argument against arguments- Tom sometimes even convinces himself-trapper and hun- ter extraordinary-but he wonders why notebooks were invented. Michael Smoley Mike always has such a worried look on his face -perhaps he's afraid a girl will speak to him-for he is a rnan's man-especially where soccer, baseball, and volleyball are concerned. I oseph S. Sobleskie No one could know less about a person than we know about Joe-we have discovered that he likes to listen to the radio, especially to news reels-and he actually smiled at a girl in his braver moments. Delrose K. Sullivan Delrose is the kind of girl who has only to smile and the world smiles with her--could it be melting brown eyes and an agreeable personality, combined with a streak of amazingly good sense? o CDIQACLE ...iq 33 ia Q ORACLE Betly Korb Thomas Good old Betts-but she's really more tempes- tuous than the name implies-a wonderful friend- a demon with knitting needles, and an excellent judge of cup-cakes-also a mania for having her arm stroked. Casimir I. Turczyn The boy with an ambition-Casimir wants none other than the job of President Roosevelt-for the present, however, he condescends to pose as humorist, detective, and violinist-which is more fun and less work. Martin Valeri An excellent quarterback Cmaybe that's why he breaks so many heartsl -a wizard at math-an able leader, with the classic profile-everyone is his friend -because he is, after all, just Martin, Eleanor Ruth Vorhauer Another of our country lassies with a bashful smile on her face-a violin tucked under her chin. Any- thing goes when Eleanor hits high C-but this does not happen often. Mary Lou Watson The little things of life with a determination all her own-enthusiams on such things as Cicero, un- derclassmen, the Lost and Found - and a romantic nature that won't be cured by dark eyes and an impish grin. wt341+ THE 1936 O Louise C. Weakland Introduction-a quiet efficient appearanceg sec- ond glimpse-a sympathetic nature, helpful to teach- crs and students, alikeg conclusion-a girl worth claiming as a friend. Viola Catherine Weakland One of the weaker sex who doesn't shut her eyes when she sees the volleyball coming over the net or when up at bat-a regular Amazon in that respect- but it must be confessed-that shorthand and filing get her down. Calistcz V. Westrick A decided blond who takes her daily dozen in a walk downtown with . . . ?-and can't agree that variety is the spice of life -we just couldn't guess why. Harriet A. Williams Hair ribbons and ankle socks-smooth dancing and an erratic drum - something unexpected, a secret in each eye-endless energy, silly expressions-What of it? Vera Mae Wilson What an ideal housewife Vera would make!-she can sew, cook, crochet, knit, and even embroider- here's your chance, boys-but since it is Leap Year, you will have to make her propose. f W I2 mfr' al 35 yi...

Yasko No ordinary violinist-and he knows it-a hur- ried toss of blond wavy hair-a wave of his bow, and the orchestra starts-on the wrong beat-spends ex- cess energy on assembly announcements and a big bass horn. Helen Zawiskie Stir together sugar for sweetness-ginger for her sparkling wit-add some peppermint blushes to hide certain embarrassing moments-and top off the con- coction with whipped cream giggles. A prize-winning recipe, Helen. +i361+ TI-IE 1936 OR DONALD ALTEMUS - Academic Football Cz, 3, 415 Basket Ball C2, 3, 415 Varsity Club C3, 415 Track C2, 31.

Frank Pitonyak Mr. Grimes finds that business at Edgewater Inn is practically non-ex- istant. His most able assistant is Janet Moore, who is earning her way through college, his greatest worry, Bill Douglas, also a collegian, who is in love with Janet but is out of a job. Acting as general porter to a limited number of three guests, is Waldo Fitts, who satisfies his Hollywood ambitions by trying out a different pose each hour of the day. Matters come to a crisis when Soak-'em-Hard Pratt, who holds the mort- gage on the hotel, threatens to foreclose. A new guest registers and Bill con- ceives the idea of passing him off as a famous English movie magnet, Lord Wiggleton, known to be traveling incognito in this Country. He spills the news to Marcella Jenks, who immediately telephones the Los Angeles papers, and the race is on. Unfortunately a second Englishman arrives and registers as Lord Wig- gleton. To settle a heart balm suit with Renee Lamour, both of the Lords disappear, and Waldo and Bill are forced to imitate them. By this publicity Bill saves the hotel from disaster, and wins for him- self a job and Janet. As the play closes even the hard-boiled Pratt engages in the Uplift Walk, Miss Ordway's latest invention for health and happiness.

In a typical meeting, opened by President Robert Morrow's repeatedly agonized appeal, Will the meeting please come to order, we voted to change the ancient Prom rules. We ruled that students could bring outside guests. fWhat bliss for somell In preparation for financing the big social event of the year, we held a bake sale and a benefit movie. Both realized very good profits for the class, and-without a doubt-a few gray hairs for the committeemen. The Thespians showed their talent in Seventeen, an unforgetable pre- sentation, headed by Icicle Boy Baxter Johns, and Baby Talk Lady Pryce. During the year many of our number made valued contributions to ath- letic teams and musical groups. Perhaps we leaned a little heavier on this side than on the scholastic. As an end to our year we experienced no greater joy than holding our own Prom. In our thoughts it remains as a vivid reminder of the pleasant, but busy year we spent as Juniors.

Our class organized in October, and in November we held our first party. at which we had a thoroughly grand fand rather noisy, time. After the afflictions of semester examinations, we enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day party, the long-cherished tradition of Sophomores. In honor of the good Saint it was typically Irish, from shamrock ice-cream to the dancing and games so dear to the Emerald Isles. Besides working to the utmost on our studies, we spent much time on outside activities. Perhaps we should mention some of the prominent mem- bers of our class: Sparky Parkin-the hope of the E. C. H. S. football team' Merle Aitken, Olean Sullivan, and Howard Baurngartel-active in Student -1. Council and other clubs, and Henrietta Evans and Frances McCann-our pleasing singers.

Instead of visions of sugar plums dancing through their heads, they see apparitions of chorus work, of the Band marching down the sidelines while the team plays on, of impassioned debates and class plays, of copy reading and long assignments for Spirit or Oracle, of good times in the Tri-Hi-Y and the Leader Club, of dances with music by school maestros, and finally, images of student government with all its opportunities for responsibility and leadership.

From the time President Clarence Evans opens the meeting until its adjournment, heated discussion, the passing of motions, the setting of dates for programs and parties, and the regulating of school rules pass through this active governing body. The voice of Charles Rowland is heard giving his opinion on some rul- ing, but Randolph Myers, objecting, takes the opposite stand. What! A freshman arguing with a senior? Oh, but it is permitted in Student Coun- cil, for every one is encouraged to express his own ideas. The Council has been busy sponsoring ten cent programs, the Lost and Found Department, the Banking System, and establishing new rules for the benefit of the Students. In December this group assumed all responsibilities as host to the All State Orchestra. The convention of Student Participation Councils of Pennsylvania was held here in May. The president, Harry Hauth, is a member of the graduating class. May this vital organization ever carry on in its former spirit, and work unceasingly toward higher and better accomplishments in Ebensburg-Cam- bria.

As the Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity is to the college student, so is the National Honor Society to the pupils of Ebensburg-Cambria High School-it represents the highest and most valued honor that they can at- tain. To eventually achieve this Nirvana, the student must have a scholarship rank in the upper third of his junior and Senior class, and be credited by the faculty as an outstanding leader, a service to his school, and an inspiration to his classmates. These last requirements confine the selection to five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class, Each year an impressive induction ceremony is held for the new mem- bers, at which they are instructed in the four cardinal principles and told anew of the keystone and the flaming torch. They are also presented with blue and gold ribbons, the colors of the National Honor Society, which signi- fy truth and willingness to serve. This year, the members have shown their willingness to serve by supervising Bible readings in short assembly and by conducting a campaign on courtesy, by means of posters and speeches.

This year debating was organized at Ebensburg-Cambria on a new basis. First, a Debate Club was formed, which included any student who was in- terested in this activityg then, a team was chosen from the club membership. As it went into action the team was as follows: Affirmative-Esther johnson, Clarence Evans, and Randolph Myers: Negative-Tom Shoemaker, Martin Valeri, and Justina Shoemaker. The question for 1936 which never failed to hold the attention of an absorbed squad was-Resolved: That the several states should enact legislation providing a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. All the debaters' time was not spent in studyg to break the monotony Qand to raise moneyl we sold Magic Slates. For practice in debates we traveled to other schools and entertained neighboring teams. Among the teams on our schedule were: Hollidaysburg, St. Vincent's Preparatory School, Southmont, and Westmont. Then, after winning the County Forensic League Contest and the District eliminations at Huntingdon Cby defeating Snowshoe and Freeburgj, we were eligible to compete in the State finals by the slim margin of seven points. And then the question in every debater's mind- Will Pottsville be our Waterloo? Although the state finals were our Waterloo, we have gained inestim- able benefits from our debating experience, among which the ability to be equally as good a loser as a winner is not the least valuable.

It is no wonder that the Orchestra, which has practiced a total of about one hundred and seventy hours, or seven twenty-four hour days, during the past school year, has had so many accomplishments, This group of forty- two talented QD musicians has become an institution of E. C. H. S. Since last summer the Orchestra has flourished as never beforeg now it boasts a double bass, a tenor sax, an oboe, and three violas. This year also marks the first appearance of the Orchestra in a broadcast Cover WJACJ. Of course, any musical organization has its assets and liabilities, but there are certainly some people in the Orchestra without whom it could hardly function: Jim Cummins, librarian, Mike Yasko, Concertmeisterg and fshould we include?J james johns. Then there is a drummer-boy who can always be depended upon-to be late, and a clarinet section which should be seen, but not heard. But during this year we have learned to appreciate fine music and have sincerely tried to play it well. After all, that is success.

The Girls' Chorus, directed by Mr. Williams, met for two practice periods each week throughout a busy and happy year. The girls snipped and measured, pieced and sewed, fitted and pressed, until every member had a new dress of dark blue trimmed in white Ca great improvement on our former black uniformsj. Then, proud of our newly acquired chic, we began in earnest to prepare for the Forensic League, and to enlarge our repertoire so that we would be ready for other public appearances. The girls in the Trio, as well as the soloists who sang in the contests, were chosen from the Chorus. Having received an invitation from Johnstown, we sent our voices into the mike for an hour. We also presented a number of public concerts in Ebensburg. At last, tired from attempting to gain merits in Mr. Williams' point system, sorrowful because of the loss of Seniors, but happy because of a successful year, we reached the end of 1936 and now look forward to a new yea r.

This year the Band boasts quality as well as quantity, and may justly be judged the most representative organization of E. C. H. S., both in ac- tivities and in accomplishments. Every evening during September and October, over dirt roads, through mud, weeds, or dust the members drilled, oh most nobly,. with the result that they won the Marine Band Contest in Johnstown. Spectators never failed to see the bright red uniforms in parades and at all athletic competi- tions. Months were spent in practicing Forensic League Contest numbers and in preparing several free concerts. As a variation this year, the Band was divided into three sections. The Sax Band could play even a Russian Rag with very few discords. The Brass Band usually offered a number of rousing marches, but the less said of the Reed Band, the better. CComments by a Sax playerj This restating of an old adage, One gets out of an organization no more than what he puts into it, probably spells the secret of a successful year for the brass, wind, reedersf' Leone Wolf '37 62 THE 1936 O IQACLE All - State Qrchestra Guest Conductors ' r4,tsr4,t A.

Miescer Mary Weaver Mr. Paul White Perhaps the most outstanding event in the field of music that has ever been held in Ebensburg was the presence of the All-State Orchestra of IQ35H on December rz, 13, and 14. This organization, sponsored by the Pennsylva- nia School Music Association, and composed of approximately one hundred fifty high school students from all over the state, was entertained here through the influence and ambition of our Director of Music, Mr. Gordon Williams. Dr. Howard Hanson, of the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York, was originally featured as the guest conductor but, having been Over- come with a sudden illness at the last moment, he sent his associate con- ductor, Mr. Paul White. A few of the selections played during the three public Concerts were: Egmont Overture, Mozart, Unfinished Symphonyjl Schubertg Heart Wounds, Grieg: and My Maryland, Romberg. The members of the orchestra were admired for the long hours which they spent in practicing. However, they were amply rewarded for this by a dance in their honor, in addition to the kind hospitality which they re- ceived from our townspeople. This All-State Orchestra, the first of its kind in Pennsylvania, was quite a success, judging from the favorable comments bestowed upon it by many well-known musicians.

The year opened with the election of eight new members. Initiation- a cosy cabin in spooky woods with plenty of weiners and hearty singing -followed. Then came the Halloween Party-a dainty meal, dreamy music, plus very special entertainment. Christmas season brought a trip to the Children's Home where small gifts were presented by a real Santa Clause??? Next morning, yawning from a sleepless night and carol singing at 4:00 A. M., we were treated to a sur- prise breakfast, prepared by our faculty advisers. With a very successful bake sale, a tea for our mothers, and the alumnae picnic, the club's crowning achievement, we brought to a close a year never to be forgotten. Mary Lou Watson '36 64 IW..

This year, as in other years, the club has attained success in many projects-taking charge of gym classes, participating in all forms of athletic work, assisting in the management of the gym exhibition, and at all times striving to improve the character of girls' athletics in the school. The club has also fulfilled its aim, to develop leadership in its members, by adopting a merit system. Points were given to those members doing many forms of work in the Club. At the close of the school year, the name of the person receiving the prize for the greatest number of merits was announced. Perhaps the great popularity of the Leader Club can be traced to the Cooperative spirit between its members and the sponsor, Miss Purnell. Emma Gilmitti, '36. 65 iw.. The noble stag, as the headmost foes appeafd With one brave bound the copse he cIear'd. -Sir Walter Scott The deer has always been portrayed by poets and writers as a fleet animal and a defiant one which fights hardest at bay. In like manner have sport columnists described our teams-the basketball quintet who won the St. Francis Tournament by reason of the speed and strong cooperation on the floorg the football eleven who showed stamina and courage against all opponents, features that brought them the Class B Championship of the Western Conference. Worthiest of all is our sportsmanship, a trait that shall never grow out-moded so long as fine coaches and fine ideals remain to bring honor to Ebens- burg-Cambria athletics. TI-IE lQ3o ORACLE Football 1 I Q Ebensburg-Cambria-7 Somerset-o The Red and Black warriors opened their season by avenging last year's hectic 6-2 defeat with a victory over Somerset. Parkin accounted for the only score with a 57 yard run in the opening quarter. Valeri hauled in a pass from Parkin for the extra point. Ebensburg-Cambria-2 6 Indiana-o In the second tilt of the year the Ebensburg grid machine showed their true pow- er and speed. Each of the starting backs had a touchdown to his credit. Early in the game Hajzus scored the first on a short plunge through tackle. In the final min- utes of the second quarter, Valeri scored when he intercepted Jacob's pass and raced 47 yards. Parkin scored the third marker on an off tackle plunge. Blosky added the fourth on a plunge through tackle. Ebensburg-Cambria-19 Cresson-7 Coach Edwards' proteges won their first Class B game by defeating Cresson. Soon after the initial kickoff, Parkin scored from short range. Hoover scored twice, the first on a 45 yard sprint, the sceond on a short smash through right tackle. Gajecki converted from placement. Against the Ebensburg second and third stringers, Biller pushed over a touchdown and added the extra point for the only Cresson score. Ebensburg-Cambria-7 Hollidaysburg-7 Although the Red and Black outplayed their rivals before one of Hollidaysburg's largest night game crowd, they emerged with a 7-7 deadlock. A fumble in the first quarter paved the way for Hollidaysburg's score, which Downing shoved over from the three yard strip. In the second quarter, Ebensburg retaliated with the most spectacu- lar drive of the evening when they clicked off five first downs to march 73 yards for a touchdown. Hajzus tallied and Parkin converted with a placement. Ebensburg-Cambria--I 8 Bedford-o Ebensburg-Cambria experienced little difficulty in defeating Bedford by an 18-o count. Blosky scored the first touchdown from the 2 yard stripe, following a 50 yard march. Blosky also scored the second six-pointer on a one yard buck through tackle when Valeri missed from the 9 yard stripe. The third touchdown was scored by Parkin on a ro yard jaunt around end. The fourth quarter was played mainly by the second and the third teams. Ebensburg-Cambria--1 3 Ferndale-o The Yellow Jackets succumbed to the Red and Black Tornado, before a large night crowd. The score 13-o does not indicate the terrific lacing the Jackets received. Near the end of the opening quarter, Ebensburg-Cambria scored their first touchdown when Parkin raced 21 yards through tackle. The last touchdown was scored by Hay- zus on a 48 yard sprint around end. Parkin carried the ball over for the extra point. Ebensburg-Cambria-o Windber-2 I The Red and Black suffered their first defeat at the hands of a powerful Windber eleven. One of the largest crowds of the season saw the winners score all their points in the first half. The Ebensburg boys completely outclassed the Windber players in the second half but failed to score, although they threatened several times. Bell, Manotti, and Bokinsky did the scoring for Windber. Ebensburg-Cambria-39 Westmont-7 The powerful Ebensburg-Cambria grid-machine ran rough-shod over a weaker Westmont eleven and produced scores thick and fast. Parkin scored three. His first was on a 29 yard sprint around end, the second on a line buck following a brilliant 58 yard run by Hoover, and the third on a 60 yard run. Blosky scored two on short plunges through tackle and the line. H. Altemus scored the sixth from the 5 yard stripe, following a 29 yard pass from Valeri to Battista. Grove scored the only points for the losers against the third stringers. Ebensburg-Cambria-2 o Portage-o The Ebensburg-Cambria gridders clinched their Class B championship and com- pleted their season by winning a Thanksgiving game with Portage. Held scoreless dur- ing the initial period, the county-seaters found their true form and tallied once in each of the remaining quarters. The touchdowns were scored by Hajzus, Parkin, and Blos- ky. Hajzus scored his on a run around left end, Parkin on a buck through tackle, and Blosky scored his in the same manner. --t 1014+- Tl-IE lQ3o RAC I.

Facing the hardest nine- game schedule ever drawn up for an Eb- ensburg-Cambria football team, the Red and Black warriors, conditioned by the fine coaching of Edwards and Johnson, came through victoriously seven times, tied one, and lost the other, amassing a total of'l49 points against 42 for opponents.

The season was opened by an over- whelming victory over Somerset. This was followed by victories over Indiana and Cresson. A tie game with Hollidaysburg and victories over Bedford and Ferndale were achieved by the Ebensburg team be- fore it was checked by a very strong Wind- ber eleven. The season ended by defeating both Westmont and Portage. Of this year's squad, ten lettermen will be graduated. All of these boys will be missed by next year's team, as they are sea- soned veterans and brilliant players. +i591+ The Schedule Opp. Place E. -C Somerset Ebensburg 7 Indiana Indiana 26 Cresson Ebensburg xg Hollidaysburg Hollidaysburg 7 Bedford Ebensburg 1 8 Ferndale Johnstown I 3 Windber Windber o Westmont Westmont 39 Portage Ebensburg 2 o Totals 1 49 ACLE Opp o o 7 7 o 0 21 7 o 42 U TL H41 T J El L..

N ff ri fe, ff ' ff, ,. , ff, .1-f fff ff 3 f Throughout the term ,35 and '36 there were many things for which students and supporters of E. C. H. S. might be proud. One of these was the basketball squad, which consisted of ten players and a manager, under the direction of Coaches Edwards and John- son. The squad played one of the longest and hardest schedules in the history of the school. They participated in 29 games-winning 21 and losing 8, scoring 993 points against 769 for their opponents. Ebensburg-Cambria won Section II of the Northern Cambria County League, with a record of seven victories and no defeats. Competing with Cresson, the Section I winner of the Northern Cambria League, the team lost by a one point margin. The Red and Black quintet then gave a good account of itself in the St. Francis Tournament, by defeating Southmont, Cresson, Windber, and Ferndale. With this last victory, Ebensburg-Cambria won for the first time the St. Francis Tournament Championship. The team was awarded the Varsity F. Club Trophy for one year and also a permanent trophy. This year's squad was composed of a large number of Seniors. The boys lost to next year's team are: Philip Blough, for three years the high scorer of the teamg Donald Altemus who earned a berth on the All St. Francis Tournament first team and who was also con- sidered the most valuable player on the teamg Leon Gajecki, versa- tile guard and acting captain during the St. Francis Tournament: Charles Rowland and jack Elder, indispensable substitutes.

This year the Club sponsored a series of dances after basketball games fwith music by Mr. Gibb and his Quingibbletsj, gave its first Alumni Dance, and raised money to buy sweaters for those earning them. As an organization this group probably has, for its members, a larger number of outstanding athletes than any other in Cambria County. The Varsity Club stresses also scholarship, leadership, and character. The lead- ers and the best students of the school are found in it. These facts show that this organization believes in and lives up to its motto, Brains and brawn together make our best athletes.

In the meanest football weather, heedless of the dampening effect of rain and snow on enthusiasm, they were in front of the bleachers, inspiring spirit in the team and hope in the onlookers. During basketball season, when the game was tense and the crowd was noisy and excited, they showed real sports- manship. Our thoughts flash back to the last assembly before a big game of the season. There are the cheer leaders on the stage, radiating pep -- C,m3n, everybody, up on your feet. Bruce, a little support on the drums, plelse.
