Mr. lames Brown, Mr. Albert Apel Absentees: Mr. Joseph Tierney, Mr. Clarence Davis President-Mr. john Elder Secretary-Mr. john Bloom Vice President-Mr. Thomas Evans Treasurer-Mr. D. Sherman Griliith Recording Secretary-Miss Martha Davis ll Hli Board of Education, composed of twelve members from Ebensburg Borough and Cambria Township, meets the second Wfednesday of every month in the library of our high school. At this time various problems pertaining to the welfare of the students are discussed and passed upon. This year the two important problems of constructing a new addition to our s:hool and of installing a different schedule received the approval of the Board. The new wing is expected to be completed by the opening of the fall term. It will house the Science and Art Departments in addition to eight classrooms and two shower rooms. The wing will give our high school the appearance of a horseshoe, and it is our hope that it will bring to those who pass through its corridors the proverbial good fortune. The schedule is one which has long been awaited. lt will provide the student with a six-period day, dismissal being at two o'clock for those on early schedule. The town peo- ple will have ample time for lunch, and the long wait at noon will be eliminated for those who bring their lunches. Home-room programs and assembly will be held on alternate Fridays, and the activity period will be omitted. However, new additions and new schedules are DOI the least of the Boards worries. livery December they IDLISI reorganize. They must determine the length of the school year, employ teachers, levy taxes, remodel and repair the school building, and adopt courses of study. Mr. jolvmton and Dr. Stu!! cfm! at the Prem Cofwention. lt has been encouraging to see the growth of the student body of the Ebensburg-Cam- bria High School. In years gone by, the enrollment has gradually increased until this school ranks first among the schools of Cambria County. As a result of this increase in the en- rollment, it is impossible to accommodate adequately those who have been scheduled for the school year of I939-1940. There- fore. our Board of Education has been obliged to expand and extend the facilities available so that this congestion might be relieved. The Science Department will occupy the complete third Hoor of the new addition. This department will be equipped with new school furniture, up-to-date in every particular. A modern Art Department will occupy a portion of the second floor. The remainder will be utilized by the regular class room work. lt is financially impos- sible to erect a new gymnasium at this time, but the initial step in this direction has been taken by the construction of show- er rooms, for boys and girls, adjacent to the proposed location of the new gymnas- ium. Eventually the vision of increased health and physical education activities will become a reality. With such fadilities afforded, your suc- cess will depend largely upon your own willingness to work diligently and to co- operate with those in authority. E. M.

These names were submitted to the class for them to elect those they considered capable of holding important positions, and to approve the other people as staff members. The organization completed, the staff began to look ahead toward a finished product. The Hrst inspiration came when C11-Etiilorr. Emeliue and Bob. begin lrillv the lalj'0l1f of the Oracle. they were notified by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York that the l958 'Oracle' had received a medalist rating ihighest rankl. During the first months of school, pictures be- came the staffs chief interest and so, the Camera Club was organized. In the meantime, the theme having been worked out, attention was turned to its development through art. Artist Don james was se- lected for the task. After Christmas, the most difficult part of the editorial writing was done, the task of mounting pictures was completedg the advertising and circula- tion staffs worked hard to fill the coffer. Then-at last-the dummy! The editors tingled with exgite- ment as they put pictures, write-ups, and advertise- ments together in their final form. So-they have come to the end of their work, hoping this 'Oracle' will retain happy memories of 1938-1939 school days. Top Row: Llair Stortner it t UU-IlG1fl0l1l. JUSCPl1 Datsko tMechanical Drawing?

M. jo dviser-'M hnston Hlximo, as we look about us we can easily see the need of government in town, state, and nation. Our school, although it is a much smaller institution, needs government, and to satisfy this need the Stu- dent Participation Council of' Ebensburg-Cambri High School was established in l93'l. Come with me, and I will take you to a meet- ing of the organization. Here in this little room next to the typing room, the Student Council meets every other Tuesday, Our president calls the meeting to order and after everyone has given opinions on each measure the respective bills are either considered or rejected. a It has 'tlx . . vays been which l' A ' our polic ic in thc y to remel A power of ' tudienc' ' cy evils students t c in asset b ' o correct. The ly had long complained of being able to hear the annot ' of '39 co f ' not incements. The Council rrccted this evil by selecting each month, a UR CICVERNIN C5 BDDY clear and distinct speaker to read the announcements thus removing the basis for this complaint. And feeling that a student would kn likes of '1 f ll ow the likes . e ow stude be and dis- nt better than a faculty mem- r, our organization assisted Mr. Smathers in the selection of songs for short assembly. At the beginning of this year the Student Council conducted a campaign to collect twenty-tive cents from each student. This money was used to bring Eve ten-cent programs to the students. In order to make a real contest of this campaign, a cash award of seventy-hve per cent of the total amount collected by each room was offered to the first one- hundred-per-cent home room. Room l06 was the winning room. Now to come back to the programs. Five programs were presented in the following order: Hans Helms, instrumental imitatorg Edwin M. Dill, potter, Little Theatre Wforkshop composed of three members, Bob Wfood, cartoonist, and Rob' ert Monaghan, blind speaker. All of the programs were outstanding, but Bob Xllfood received the 'big- gest hand. Now, Kimo, is it not evident that the Student Council has functioned admirably through the con- duct of business and entertainment which was pro- vided? Left lu iight: Richard Bloom.

Witlt the shop be- low and the typing room above, you can imagine the conglomeration of noises that emanated from the northeast wing of our building. All three completed their task of keeping lirst-period students awake. The organization, composed of seventy-one members, was a colorful supporter of the ECI-IS Red Dev- ils, this year's band was an improvement over last year's group in playing and drilling. Last summer, the present Band, with some Alumni members. under the s . . ponsorship of the American Legion gave concerts at the Court House. together with a sum appropriated by the School Board, a number of new instruments were purchas- ed. These included a bassoon, three French horns, two sousaphones, two glockenspiels, and a piccolo, Plans are not definite, but it is hoped that the same arrangement can be made this summer. A number of selections including 'Overture Militaire' and 'The Unhnished Symphony' were ad- ded to the music library. and a library system was established. Each piece of music was numbered, and, as it was given out to a student, a record was kept on file. The Band has been a service organization, hav- ing given concerts in assembly and sponsored a Band Concert and Community Sing on january 27. Some of the members have represented Ebensburg-Cam- bria in the All-Westertl Band, All-State Band, and County Music Festival. Of course, the Band has not attained its well-earned position alone, for Mr. Smathers has been a competent director and ad- viser in all its undertakings.

Because it transports the aud- ience into another country-light-hearted darkies, songs and mirth-a land where there is no moral to be deducted, no truth to be pondered. So let us settle down on this wintry December evening while six ebony-skinned gentlemen surrounded by a mess-jacketed chorus hold forth with their interlocutor. Look! The curtain is drawn! Six empty chairs stare lflankly through the opening chorus. A slight hesitation! Our Ilnd Men have failed to ar- tive. A small disturbance in the rear of the audi- torium grows to a mighty crescendo as six loud and gaudy negroes rudely thrust their way past the ushers and stamp down the right aisle to the platform. Did I say six? 1 meant only five because Lightning is too lazy to exert himself. Therefore, he arrives a little tardy, much to the disgust of his cronies. After a slight controversy over the place and time, the boys mount the stage. All gives way before their clattering backlire and hair-raising argument. At the completion of a quip or prank, a soloist steps forth to entertain. Laughter echoes from the roof as Push-a-PhoneAndy and Slush- Pump Amos bring down the house with their slip horns-peels of laughter and then, the grand linale, with chorus, minstrel band and laughing darkies, dies away as the curtain crosses the stage. But, wait! The picture, to be sure, and then the grease paint! liank Ron llaitx linulellart, ,lohn Simons. Donald Matlntyrc. Barbara Smith tD.tnterl. Richattg -' ' - l, Dayton ,lohn- stn.

This club which is under the direction of Miss Kathryn Sampson, has taken the place of the public speaking classes of former years. Wlien the club was organized in October, a temporary chairman was elected, A short time later a committee was chosen to draw up the constitution. The following was stated in the constitution-'The club will meet every first and third Wlednesday of the month in the audi- torium. There will be three ollicers-president, vice president, and secretary-treasurerg there will be no dehnite limit to membership' lf you were present at one of these meet- ings, Kimo, you might hear a student reciting a well known poem, or you might see several other club members portraying characters in a student- coached play. Nearly all members took part in the Christ- mas Pllgdlllf, 'The Youngest Shepherd' This was supervised by Miss Sampson, Mrs. Thompson, and Mr, Smathers. The title role was played by john Kimball. Several members of the angel choir also belonged to the club, as did the rays. wise men, and the shepherds. The plot concerned a very small boy whose greatest desire was to pay hom- age to the great King. He fell asleep while watch- ing his Hock, only to be awakened by voices of angels. The youngest shepherd found himself be- fore the manger of the King whom he found to be a little boy just like himself. This play was the only major presentation of the club. In short assembly the Bible is read by a member of the student body. XXfhen a particular organization is presenting a program during the week, members of this organization take charge of the reading. However, during the week that there is to be a class meeting or a movie, members of the Dramatic Club read the Bible. In this way, they are of service to the entire school.

Davis Advisory Adviser- Let Tri-Hi-Y me introduce you, Kimo Tumba, to the Club. This organization stands for the all-around development of its members in Spirit, Mind, and Body, and serves the three main training agencies, Home, Church, and School. Their first duty at the beginning of the year was the selection of an advisory committee, compos- ed of a mother, a church-worker, and a teacher. In October the newly elected members were received into the club at a dignihed induction ceremony. The ideals of the Tri-Hi-Y-Sacrifice, Purity and Loyal- ty--are represented by three colors, red, white, and blue, and by their emblem-with the Triangle, Torch, and Circle. In order to carry out this idea, the old members at the induction ceremony formed 1 tri- an fl ' ' I gc, into which the new members were led and W 4 1 1' Quia!-1 '.

During the rest of the year, the girls met every Tuesday evening in Miss Davis's room and on ' ' 1 ce every month for dinner meetings at the Y. principles of the Tri Hi Y Th The Christmas holidays! And, of course, the toys sent to the Childrens Home! This year, to add more gifts to our list, toys were brought from various homes and collected in boxes placed throughout the school.

Pitt Sponsor-Mr. AI. Harold Gibb After an interval of several years, the Hi-Y was reinstated this year in the ' I extra-curricular activi- ties of the school. Our ollicers, Dick Davis, Bill Davison, and Don james, were given special instructions by Mr. Dan C. Pitt, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., in the principles and ideals of the Hi-Y, in order to make better leaders. To induct the members with an official ceremony into the great circle of brother clubs, an invited Hi- Y group of Johnstown came to our Y. After a spa- ghetti dinner together, the boys entered the induction room, and at the close of an imposing ceremony on the meaning and significance of the organization, were full-fledged members. Even though this organization did not get under way until the last half of the yearg nevertheless at tits time, you will find a v under the leadership of Mr P' l . itt ant the sponsor Mr. Gibb, the members organized, and carried through successfully on March 4 l ' f ' ' ' , tie first area Hi-Y Rally in which twelve Hi-Y Clubs from this section were rep- resented. Discussion groups were led by Y leaders. After a picture of all the delegates was taken, the boys went to the cafeteria, where, at the conclusion of a meal through which predominated a spirit of good fellowship, our principal, who is also a club adviser, addressed the entire delegation. After a second con- ference period in the afternoon, they engaged in keen athletic competition in the high school gymnas- tum. Weekly meetings are held Tuesday afternoon after school in the conference room, where the mem- bers gather around a big table to discuss the prob- lems that confront them, To inflate their somewhat scanty treasury, they held several dances in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium on Saturday evenings. Various projects have been plan- ned for the future. one of the most desirable of which is the idea to hngerprint every student in the school.

The coaches worked long hours prepar- ing the football, basket ball, and track teams, always willing to give that little extra effort so that it might add to the glory of ECI-IS. Witl1 a mixture of seriousness and hu- mor, they brought the boys through a long, tough season. Mr. johnson and Mr. Schaefer were the masters of an arise. Best of all, the' l ld respect of the players, y situation that might 5 me at all times the Two swell fellows was an expression echoed b :ll ' ' ' ' ' ' 'Hank'. The Red Devils got off to a vood start 27' with a 7-0 win over Barnesltoro. This, how- ever, was followed by a 20-6 lacing from the C , onemaugh Iron Horses. The next week tl me Ebensburg season came in a new low when the Red and Black was har son to a O-0 deadlock. y 1 who played under Yonnie and d pressed to hold Cres- From here on the Eb b , ens urg games were real battles-anybodys game-till the last whistle hz l bl ' ' IL own. However, Ebensbur fs lack .5 of weight repeatedly prevented the Red Devils from getting across the last ten yards over into pay dirt. 78 In the Huntingdon game, Ebensburg pushed inside the enemy's five-yard stripe four times but just couldn't score. The game went to Huntingdon 7-0. Ebensburg led Hollidays- burg in First downs 12-8, but at the end of the game Hollidaysburg led in points 13-7. The next Saturday the ECHS gridders met the high school stars of Shadyside Academy in Pitts- burgh. Shadyside walked off with the honors, 21-13. Ferndale, Conference Champs, received their toughest contest to date, when they met the Red Devils on the ECHS field. A touch- down late in the final period gave them a 13-7 victory, after they had trailed 7-0 at the end of the half, the first time they had been behind all season. Three minutes remained in the Franklin game with the score tied at 14 all, when O'Shell took a Blue jay punt on Ebensburg's 6 and raced 94 yards for the winning tally as the game ended 21-14, in Ebensburg's favor. Late in the last period, Westmont led 19-0, but Ball and O'Shell saved ECHS from a white-wash when they each came through with 90 yard runs for a pair of six pointers, Ball, on an intercepted pass, O'Shell, on a punt return. The game ended 19-12, a Westmont game. In short the ECHS squad of 1938 was a group of players of which both coaches and school can well be proud, because of their great abundance of courage, spirit, and loyalty.

Certainly it is not the best ECHS record, but then again not the worst. At the start it looked as if the sum of Eb- ensburg field goals and fouls could only add up to 30. lf the Red Devils could hold the other teams below that score, it meant an Ebensburg victory. ln the regular season, Ebensburg was taken over the coals twice by Gallitzin, Ferndale, Cone- maugh, Westmont, and Franklin. The Devils split with their age-old rival-Cresson, and took both ends of the two-game schedule with Lilly, Barnes- boro, and Southmont. 1' S On the season record can be found the usual number of heartbreakersg namely, the 20-15 de- feat ar the hands of Ferndaleg the 19-15 Cresson victory over the Red and Black, and 52-28 score in which the name of Gallitzin headed the 32 points. Not all the close ones ended up wrong. The 50-29 victory over Southmont was a beauty, as was the 41-39 win over W'ilmore in the St. Francis Tournament. In this game the Devils spent the last quarter overcoming a 9 point gap to tie the score at 39-39 at the end of the regular game time. Captain Altemus' field goal in an extra period gave Ebensburg the game. Westmont eliminated Ebensburg in the quarter-finals, 25- 16 BASKET Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensbutg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria Ebensburg-Cambria BALL SCHEDULE 50 Alumni 50 Gallitzin 50 Southmont 1 5 Ferndale 3 1 Lilly 54 Conemaugh 2 6 Cresson 1 5 Westmont 2 9 Conemaugh 1 7 Franklin 2 8 Gallitzin 2 6 Ferndale 47 Batnesboro 44 Lilly 56 Westmont 1 5 Cresson 5 1 F ranklin 47 Barnesboro 4 1 Southmont 4 1 Wilmore 16 Westmont Wagner ifn'z giving up Impex, but it look! at if the ball belong: to Wextmont.

The members ITIUSI earn their letter in some major sport as basket ball, football, and track. Whztt do I mean when I say earn their letter? Simply this, they must play the minimum of eighteen quarters in football, thirty-six quarters ATHLETICS in basket ball, and win live points in scheduled track meets. The Varsity Club has several purposes: first, to promote friendliness and good fellowship be- tween the members of the different athletic squadsg second, to promote intramural sportsg third, to promote good feeling with other schools by caring for the visiting teams in any way possibleg and fourth, to sponsor recreation in the school. This last has been accomplished by holding ten-cent dances after the football and basket ball games and during the noon hour every Wednesday. The members feel honored not only to be- long to the Varsity Club but also to know that they are the representatives of this school on the football field, basket ball court, or the cinder path.
