A PORTRAYAL OF TI-IE YEARS 2 ACTIVITIES AT THE EAST HUNTINGDON HIGH SCHOOL 3 Kenneth C. Love Mary l. Reed Monroe Kline OUR YEARBOOK SPONSORS The Senior Class of 1939 is proud to give grateful recognition to the three faculty members largely responsible for the success of our book. It was their untiring Work and encouragement that spurred the staff on when discouragement and disappointment loomed dark on the horizon. In appreciation of their splendid leadership and valuable service We respectfully dedicate this eleventh volume of the Mirror to Miss Mary Reed, Mr. Monroe Kline, and Mr. Kenneth Love. 4 Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your Hight ..... Who is there who has never wished like the poet that he could turn back the hands of time and re- live the glorious experiences of the past, or stay the Hight of time to pro- long present joys? In publishing this volume of the Mirror the staff has endeavored to give in picture and story a realistic portrayal of school life at East Hunt- ingdon. It is our aim that in the years to come, when our readers shall leaf through the pages of this book, they may re -live through retrospection their hopes, ambitions, and achieve- ments, and in memory experience anew the joys of true friendships and pleasant happenings. Q ATHLETICS Q ACTIVITIES Q PERSONALITIES PRESENTING PERSONALITIE Under the Wise counsel of an interested and every helpful faculty, the youth of East Huntingdon prepare themselves to face the World armed with confidence and knowledge so that some day they may be ready to take their place among the leaders of society. 6 F 7 EDUCATIONAL LEADERS ARTHUR F. GREEN Bus 2 has broken down. Tarr East Ward needs a load of coal. The country roads are drifted with snow. Such are the problems confronting Mr. Green every day. He sits in his pleasant office working out answers to these and other difficulties. His is a large responsibility indeed, that of supervising and directing the ten district schools which always need something A-books, supplies, coal, repairs, etc. Yet Mr. Green meets all situations with calm, unruffled manner .... The time is about seven P. M. on the first Monday of the month. The place is East Huntingdon High School. The scene is the regular meeting of the school board where the directors and Mr. Green meet to interpret the educational program in terms of local needs. Every plan put into operation for educational improvement must first be approved by this board. Their consent for installing new woodwork- ing machines in the shop has made the district eligible for further Federal-State Vocational Aid.

Summer reconditioning of our buses has enabled the district to main- tain the lowest operating cost per pupil in the county. Lastly, the rebound books carried home by pupils are further evidence of efficient management. These are part of the 3500 books repaired to date ..... A student arrives late from the vocational building and wants a permit to class. An Alverton resident calls up to report that someone ran through his hedge on the way to the shop. The seniors are indignant over a mixup of their academic credits. The Tri-Hi-Y wants to have a party. Mr. Davis racks his brain to find answers for the never ending stream of students wanting this thing or that, yet he always has time for a joke with anyone. His oft' repeated Where're you supposed to be? may startle the lower classmen, but juniors and seniors always have an excuse for being in the hall ..... Mrs. Keller, our efficient secretary, works for the best interests of the school in general. 9 We begin our required Andrew B. Carnack Vera E. Dunlap George H. Fretlmy Wilda w. Hyatt Kenneth C. Love Lloyd E. Davis Leora Love Dell lsalael M.

At last entering high school Eng'ish with Mrs. Pritts stressing parts of speech, and Miss Keller continuing the next year. As juniors and seniors our knowledge of English and American literature is broadened by Miss Poole. The history course begins in Mr. Carnack's freshman civics class. Next Mrs. Dell outlines European and American history. Our course is concluded when as seniors we study American democracy and local history with Mr. Lloyd Davis. Many freshmen and sophomores elect general science and biology with Mr. Tomechko explaining our surround- ings. As juniors and seniors we are brave enough to argue with M1-. William Davis in chemistry and physics. In Mrs. Dell's Latin classes we go from drilling conjugations and declensions to reading Caesar's Gallic Wars. Miss Reed's French students ask each other, Quelle est la lecon pour aujourd 'hui? In her algebra and plane geometry classes Miss Doherty lays the foundation for those who wish to go on with Mr. Frethy Beatrice V. Keller Dorothy L. Keller Monroe Kline is , ..,, ' ' Marjorie E.

Vocational students travel to the other building where Miss Trickett and Miss Dunlap Wait with patterns and recipes and Mr. Stoner and Mr. Smith demonstrate the use of machines and tools. Mr. Kline's program of related subjects is essential for shop students. Mr. Sebold teaches new methods in farming and Mr. Love directs our art talent. Mrs. Hyatt's band, orchestra, and glee club are ready at any time for public appearances. About the fifth period we forget everything else when the appetizing odors of delicious foods from Miss Strohm's kitchen rise to the upper halls. 4 . l. , i' ilsifsjyg .

Beyond the sunset they have gone a little while. but the remembrance of their smiles falls like a bene- diction upon our lives. They have passed out into the Great Beyond to that Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. 13 THE SENIORS Thelma Grace Anderson Katherine Ellen Bair Dorothy Bodenheimer Dorothy Jean Brahs JOYOUS SENIORS, DIPLOMA IN HAND Thelma Anderson is a clever seamstress.

Once we had become accustomed to our new surroundings we proceeded to show the rest of the school the kind of class we had. As freshmen we even went so far as to defeat the seniors in basketball and to win the inter-class championship. Of, course we had a class party, as many will long remember. Our sophomore year brought us the basketball championship again. On Lincoln's birthday our boys, under the direction of Mr. Carnack, produced an excellent chapel program. No one could help laughing at Dave Fox as the prisoner at the bar. And the rendition of t'Jada by the quartet was enthusias- tically acclaimed. Have all juniors been measured for rings? Important as we felt at this announcement on October 12, it was nothing compared with the thrill of December 17 when the rings finally came. In January of that year death claimed two of our classmates, Nellie Meese and Clark Gadd. February brought humorous chapel programs from both boys and girls. Fortweeks afterward weheard compliments on Home Again Harry. Then in May, the crowning event of the year- the first junior-senior prom in ,the history of EQ H. H. S. popularly voted the best party ever held .in our gym. Seniors at last! On Novem- ber 14 and 15 each senior, very much dressed up, posed for his picture. In December we handed out name cards and exchanged pictures with our best boy friend. Our class play, Girl Shy, was a hit. January brought invitation salesmen, and the Mirror Staff began to canvass ads. Work on commencement speeches began in February. Then came May with all its finality-the prom, class night, baccalaureate, commence- ment, andthe picnic. What wonderful six years these have been! President ,..... .....

Many of us dislike to start to school in the fall, but one bright September morning in 1934 it was an excited group of youngsters who eagerly scrambled aboard the bus. The long awaited days had finally arrived. We were seventh-grad- ers. It didn't take long to accustom ourselves to the new routine and the time Hew by. Soon we were freshmen struggling with Caesar's Gallic Wars and the Argon- auts. Many of us can truthfully say we were a bit sad at leaving that class at the end of our sophomore year, glad as we were to be through with it. That year saw us well represented in the operetta, band, orchestra, glee club, Tri-Hi-Y, and on the basket ball, football, and track teams. We were not to be left out of anything. Now as juniors, we write contracts over and over for Mr. William Davis when we can't remember that Na stands for sodium or when we forget to balance an equation. Why is chemistry so tough? And English! We'd rather write two of those disgusting themes every week than give an oral report. How we worked to make our prom the grand affair it was! Spurred on by La Verne Kooser, our able president, we sold box after box of candy at the football games. It really was fun scrambling half way up the bleachers through a crowd only to find sale for one piece of candy. Our first attempt at dramatics, Aunt Abby Answers An Ad brought out hidden talent. Of course we mustn't forget our class rings, a reminder of the fact that we will soon be seniors. Graduation is just around the well known corner, but until then we wish to accomplish a lot in order to make the class of '40 a real success. CLASS OFFICERS President ,..... ,. .

You know, said Barbara, it seems only yesterday that we first came h as seventh graders. But look at us now! boasted Helen. We're the smiling and sophisticated sophomores-proud of our splendid basket ball players, our talented musicians and our friendly classmates. Don't forgetf, exclaimed Betty, we sophomores have the name of being the most talkative and the noisiest group of students in the school. That's nothing to be proud of! But, defeating all the other classes last year and winning the intel class Y basket ball championship was a splendid achievement. We surely were good. But we still are, they laughed in unison. Then the bus bell rang and books, coats, gym clothes, and other belongings were snatched from the lockers and the sophomores hurried to the bus. That evening all the smiling sophomores were not so happy. It was time to do lessons, and misery stepped in when interest stepped out. Some Latin students tiled to translate the assigned pages of Caesar's Gallic Wars. After looking up thntten words in the first sentence, they closed Ullman and Henry with a bang and sighed that 'tVita est misera! That night they prayed that the bell would ring the next day before Mrs. Dell called on them to read. The biology students acquired head aches trying to dissect with a razor blade a poor chloroformed frog or an ugly grass hopper. The history students were bored as they bent over the pages of West and West trying to become interested in the reign of Queen Elizabeth or the life of Marie Antoinette. These petty troubles were forgotten the next day, and again we heard the sophomores boasting in the halls. CLASS OFFICERS President . . . . , Dorothy Hill Vice President .

Say, I wonder what the new teacher'1l be like, said one timid seventh grader to another as the bus rounded a turn and the high school building came into view. Don't get excited about that yet, and remember we'll have more than one, reminded his companion none too cheerfully. I don't know whether I like that idea or not. It'll be hard to get used to the way they do things in high school. Well, we did get used to our new teachers and our new surroundings, but it took time. lt wasn't unusual to hear one of us ask, What period is this? or HWhere am I supposed to be now? And were we embarrassed when we rushed breathlessly into the wrong classroom only to be greeted with an outburst of hearty laughter from the upperclassmen! Our greenness had disappeared remarkably, though, by the time we became eighth graders, and we felt we had to show our superiority, too, by making life miserable for the new seventh graders. The big event of the year for us was the operetta Polly Make-Believe in which approximately 200 grade and junior high school students participated. For many of us it was the 'tbig moment of our young lives and awakened in us the desire to take part in other similar productions. This year as freshmen we feel that we are full-fledged high school students in spite of those who say we are still only in junior high. Although we work hard at our lessons that are so new to us, our efforts are not limited to classroom respon- sibilities only. We have shown keen interest in other phases of school life. This is proved by the large number of freshmen in the athletic, music, and forensic clubs, and the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y.

The literary editors of the Mirror have settled down in room six to put forth their best efforts in the form of write- ups. Surrounded by several yearbooks, rulers, the dummy draft of this year's book, dictionaries, and many papers, Mildred Taylor, Sara Mardis, Betty Jane Fretts, Sara Margaret Sherrick, and Miss Reed earnestly begin to Work. There are Words and even letters to count, space to be measured, work to be done over time and again, and many interviews to be obtained. Sara consults Mr. Carnack about the Hi-Y: Sara Margaret haunts Mr. Green's office for information on the school board, Betty Jane takes her band write-up to Mrs. Hyatt for approval, Mid questions vocational students about the Home Ec. Clubg Bill Thorn hands in his sports stories. Betty Anne Miller carefully types all copy after Miss Reed has corrected and approved it. Mr. Love directs the art work for the division pages done by Rhoberta Williams, Bill Brinker, Robert Hull, and Charles Smith. Edgar Hodge, with the encouragement and help of Mr. Kline, earnestly keeps after the adver- tisement committee and checks carefully all money received and paid out. Guy Rosensteele is seen running after someone with a handful of subscription receipts. Miss Dunlap and Miss Trickett read and correct the proof sheets. Only through the hard work and cooperation of this group has our book been ma-de possible. 32 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Facing camera: Kenneth Funk, chairmang Sheldon Stoner, Robert Piper, Wai'r'en Carrier, Mr. Sebold.

A. meeting you hear Kenneth Funk, the president, repeating the club purpose: to practice brother- hood, honor royal opportunities and responsibilities, and develop those qualities of leadership which a future farmer should possess? Under the sponsorship of Mr. Sebold this intelligent group, including only those agricultural students who have passing grades, has achieved much. When is the county judging contest, Mr. Sebold? asks one of the ambitious members. It is to be held May IO, replies Mr. Sebold. Last year We placed high in public speaking and in judging feeds and seeds. This year We expect to do better. Those who rank high at the county contest and Work the hardest in class will get to go to the state contest held at State College. The club carries out the program of a sound mind and a sound body. During the winter we had a basketball team.lVIost of the boys were green at the game but managed to make a fairly good showing during the season. In the spring the F. F. A. softball league opens and nearly all the members take part. Last spring we Won about half our games. Our aim is that future accomplishments of our club will far exceed past ones in producing better farmers in America. 33 J We eM0h:l06 fygblofzy g The local history class is the nucleus of the history club, the second largest organization in our school, and one that has achieved distinction through its affiliation with the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania. Mr. Lloyd Davis, assisted by Mrs. Leora Love Dell, sponsors the club. One of our staff reporters gave us the following interesting account of a recent session of this popular class. Mr. Davis began by saying, As this is one of our last periods together, I'm going to sit back and allow you students to have an oral discussion of things you have learned in local history this year. If you need any help, I'll gladly put in a few words now and thenf, Wasn't it fun studying the origin of the American Indians! Who would ever have thought it was possible for the first Indians to cross over from Siberia by means of the Behring Strait? exclaimed Bertie Williams, starting the discussion. 'fOr that there was once a continent in the Atlantic Ocean known as Atlantis, now covered by water, added Bill Mentzer. Many of our first Indians were supposed to have migrated from there. Some also came by the Aleutian Islands, a natural bridge between Siberia and Alaska, said Sara Margaret Sherrick. The study of the early colonists and the peculiar methods they had of doing things interested me,', said Dorothy Scott. What mother of to-day would be so foolish as to scrape pewter from a spoon and give it to her children to cure some ailment? Such an idea is preposterous to us, but we're told this treatment was often resorted to in those times. 34 JZ!! Cham! tnffzmfhz ,on t'Say Foxie, I'll bet you don't know what the three main things were in every cabin and inn in the early days? challenged Bowser. I do too, replied Foxie. It was a Bible, a jug of liquor, and a gun. Who could ever forget that? Wasn't it surprising to learn that our old high school building was the first township high school in Pennsylvania? asked Betty Lorraine Fretts. How about the different names we learned? Who would ever have thought that Alverton was once Stonersville or Scottdale Fountain Mills or that a little place like Ruisdale has had five names, said Bill Carmichael. Those maps of Pennsylvania we made certainly took lots of time, remarked Betty Jane. Remember how Bill Thorn had all sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania on his map but still had room for more. And Foxie only had sixty-six counties when he should have had sixty-seven. You have all given your opinions as to what you thought amusing but have you forgotten Johan Printz, the first governor of Pennsylvania? questioned Bill Thorn. He's the chubby gentleman who tried an Englishman and served as the judge, jury, and prosecut- ing attorney. This narrative brought forth much laughter which was cut short by the ringing of the period bell.

Quiet, please! At this command of our president Dorothy Scott, the chatter of girls' voices in room two at the beginning of the tenth period ceases. Whether or not the presence of our advisor Miss Keller, has anything to do with this prompt response to order, a hush comes over the group. Then moving lips silently rehearse the Bible verses which are to be given in response to the roll call by our treasurer, Frances Skovira. When devotions and Bible study are con- cluded, we turn our attention to a business or social time which is brought to a too sudden close by the ringing of the period bell an- nouncing the hour for adjournment. From the beginning the Tri-Hi-Y has emphasized service both to our school and community. At Thanksgiving time the girls packed and distributed baskets of food to needy families. Their gifts of toys at Christmas and of colored eggs at Easter added much to the joy- ousness of those holiday seasons for the youngsters in the Greensburg Children's Home. Nor was the social side of our development overlooked. The exchange of gifts among blue triangle sisters was a source of much enjoyment. The Christmas party at which we entertained the Scott- dale Beta Tri-Hi-Y Club was one of the most delightful, while several roller skating parties provided more strenuous amusement and round- ed out the year's program of social events. 36 HI-Y CLUB Front row: Mr. Carnack, Ira Kastner, James Sherrick, Kenneth Funk, John Shcaffer Don Myers, Robert Thorn.

Q f Whafzaclefz Observing the lighted auditorium one Thursday evening last spring I entered the high school build.ng, and guided by voices that resounded in the corridors, made my way to where they were and sat down unobserved. I found myself in the midst of a Hi-Y meeting. Following a short discussion of bus-ness, the boys began reminiscing over events of the past which changed the usually cheerful atmos- phere to an air of solemnity. A momentary silence was broken by the remark of a lad that he intended to give the next year's newcomers a double dose of initiation to make up for what he had received. I don't believe you're acting according to the Hi-Y standard of good sportsmanship with an attitude like that,', responded an older student. Interrupting the discussion of initiation, one member expressed the hope that the club might present a Christmas chapel program that would equal the splendid one presented last year. Don't forget that the cooperation of Rev. Eakin and the Tri- Hi-Y made possible that success, said another. I really believe our annual 'come clean campaign' gets re- sults, don't you, fellows? asked the first boy. Rev, Jones's brief but peppy talk went over big in opening our last campaign. Whew! Ten o'cl0ck already! exclaimed the president, John Sheaffer, suddenly. The meeting is adjourned. 37 gba Jaffa! cf eyQ2WL607ZllI6l. The atmosphere of keen excitment that pervaded the home economics department for several weeks before Christmas was an indication that something extraordinary was going to happen. The holly wreath and candles in the windows and the festive appearance of the attractively decorated rooms was further evidence that this was to be no ordinary Christmas party. Then on the big day, December 3, when the guests arrived, including Miss Beamer from the county office and students and their sponsors from Indiana State Teachers' College, South Huntingdon, and Mount Pleasant high schools, the news spread quickly that the home economics club was celebrating the birthday of Ellen H. Richards, founder of home economics. A lunch- eon worthy of such an occasion was served, and followed by a unique program of entertainment. Favors were Christmas corsages and yarn dolls. An unusual situation was presented on the morning of Jan- uary 16 when Florence Hixson, Katherine Bair, Irene Sedlacko, and Mary Ann Sidlovsky arrived at school dressed in their Sunday best and carrying week-end cases. Their destination was the Farm Show at Harrisburg where they took part in a clothing demonstration and pageant. Incidentally the girls did a bit of sightseeing while in the capital city and witnessed some of the excitement occasioned by the inauguration of Governor James. Miss Dunlap accompanied the group.

We have gone through the past pear successfully and have big plans for the future, replies Mr. Lloyd E. Davis. As you know this is only the second year we have been organized. Our membership is limited to six seniors and one junior who becomes the Grand Potentate his senior year. We are planning to take a trip to Mount Washington Observatory in Pittsburgh this springf' We will soon have to select next year's members also, adds the Exalted Keeper. It will then be the duty of the Degraded Lunar to reorganize the club and carry on its work, comments the Supreme Scriptorus. The meeting is concluded by the serving of refreshments.

The violins, trumpets, clarinets, saxaphones drums cymbals, bells, trombones, and the piano blend their notes togethei At the end of the number the place is in an uproar, and fiom the four corners of the room we hear bits of popular music rising on the air. Then Mrs. Hyatt excuses the orchestra and practice is over foi another Week. Laverne Kooser, the accomplished pianist of the group always on hand at practice and seemingly never gets tired of doing her part. John Sheaffer, the lone saxophone player, is president and Betty Anne Miller is secretary-treasurer. John Verostko, who is librarian, takes care of the music. Mrs. Hyatt and Miss Keller give private instructions to interested students. The splendid ensemble playing of the orchestra is the result of many hours of individual practice at home. 'Tis rumored, though that the neighbors of some of our struggling but ambitious musicans have not entirely appreciated these daily recitals and at times have longed to be far beyond the reach of screeching violins and blaring horns. But soothed and relaxed when they hear the orchestra play at a school function, they forget their sleepless nights and shattered nerves. 40 BAND From left to right: Dorothy Hill, Imogene Bashioum, John Verostko, John Sheaifer, William Gratzinger, William Buttermore, Wilma Fowler, Helen Plesz, George Gratzinger, William Brinker, Milton Plesz, Guy Rosensteele, Robert Piper, Tommy Harr, Bobbie Clausner, Billy Ottenberg, Dale Rhome, Gladys Hribal, Robert Kintigh, William Connors, Betty Anne Miller. fun hm jnafzzzm mia! Qwuazb The thundering roll of drums and the shrill clanging of cymbals borne on the mild autumn breeze announced to us that the band was practicing ,on the football field. Bob Piper, our drum major blew his whistle, lifted hes baton, and led the group in forming the letter E. Time and again they practiced their maneuvers in order to perfect for the excited eyes of the student body a demonstration intended to boost the ticket sale for a band concert, the proceeds of which were to buy the band uniforms. Hearts beat faster than drums at the football games with Mt. Pleasant Where our musicans made their first public appearance re- splendent in their long-anticipated, colorful, red and white costumes and secretly admiring themselves. No less proud were the loyal students, alumni, and patrons who had given the band strong backing. The real triumph of the year for the organization was scored when it presented to the public on the evenings of February 8 and 9 the promised concert. The program, which was well received by a very enthusiastic audience, included in addition to the stirring band numbers a saxaphone solo, The Indian Love Call, played by John Sheaffer, and a novelty song by Betty Jane Fretts. Many ambitious students are hoping to be the lucky ones chosen to fill those places in the band made vacant by graduation. 41 0 ae .Two We you Sopranos! Altos! Tenors! Bass! Ready-sing! l La Verne Kooser, our faithful pianist, strikes a broken chord and sixty voices hum their tones in melodious harmony. Mrs. Hyatt's i baton moves gracefully through the air and these humming voices break into joyous song. The glee club is practicing for the operetta In Old Louisiana. This organization, composed of both girls and boys, leads all , the others in the school membership. Betty Jane Fretts acts as presi- dent and Sara Mardis as vice president. The fine spirit of co-operation and good fellowship among the members makes for harmony in Work as Well as in song. Last fall seven students from this group had an enviable honor of being chosen to sing in the Pennsylvania All-State Chorus at Dor- mont. These seven lucky ones were Helen Plesz, Wilma Fowler, Dorothy Hill, Bill Brinker, Kenneth Funk, Ben Myslewski and George Gratzinger. According to the reports they brought back, they had a simply grand time. Music classes for students of every grade in the high school are an innovation this year that provides our music supervisor with an excellent opportunity to scout talent for the glee club. A favorite song in all classes is Daisy Bellf' which everyone sings most lustily and which can be heard almost any perior of the day as you pass by room 8.

Steamboats on the Mississippi and magnolias blooming around the Veranda of a colonial mansion. This describes our operetta, In Old Louisiana, one of the most colorful ever to be produced at our school. The setting is Pilot Farley's garden on the bank of the Missis- sippi. Nelson Stants impersonates Robert Farley, pilot of the Eclipse and owner of the Sans Souci Sugar Plantation. Betty Jane Fretts is his adopted daughter Rose. Simon Scudder fMarvin Ottenbergl overseer of Sans Souci, has a bitter hatred toward Dick St. John CBob Piperj, who is in love with Rose. This hatred finally leads to a duel between the two. Bill Mentzer protrays Holly Timms, a shady lawyer. Edgar Hodge is Jack Martin from New Orleans. Monty Gray CGuy Rosensteelej from the North, falls in love with Martha, Dick's sister lDorothy Hilll. Humor is added by Old Ned fGeorge Gratz- ingerb, a colored servant, and his wife Judy tEsther Bowserb, who dance a hoe-down. Two strange characters are the Marquis De La Tour of France and Bruce MacDougal, the county sheriff, portrayed by William Buttermore and John Krystyniak. The beautiful stage set was the clever work of Mr. Love and his helpful art students. From the overture to the grand finals, In Old Louisiana was a big success.

New scenery had been made and new furniture borrowed from Levin's of Mount Pleasant. It was December 15, the night of the senior class play. As the orchestra played the auditorium filled rapidly with proud parents, fond relatives, and ad miring friends. At 8 o'clock the curtain rose and the seniors presented Girl Shy. The audience, kept laughing throughout the performance decided it was a fine play-a very fine play indeed! t'Girl Shy revolved about Tom Arsdale, a college boy who overcame his bashfulness when he met the right girl, Barbara Sanford These parts were played by Bob Piper and Betty Jane Fretts Guy Rosensteele, as Oke Stimson, Tom's roommate, needed no coaching for his role of ladies' man. Ben Myslewski, with powdered hair and fake mustache, impersonated Tom's father so realistically that even the seniors forgot he was our own president. Tom's aunt and the col lege dean whom she charmed were excellently portrayed by Mildred Taylor and Nelson Stants. Sara Mardis was Peaches Carter Okes heart throb. while Jane Stoner was Asma, the colored wash lady Rhoberta Williams as Sylvia Webster, Tom's pet aversion, fthe girl from homej, fell in love with Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd, the col lege sissy, portrayed by George Gratzinger.

Aunt Abby Ainsley CGeraldine Millerj, a confirmed old maid and ardent man-hater runs the camp with the help of Lucindy Lovejoy CMargaret Hodgej, a sour-faced spinster, who has been Aunt Abby's housekeeper for years and has been reared with Aunt Abby's ideas against men. Aunt Abby is coerced into answering an advertisement in the Lonely Hearts col- umn of a magazine by Mrs. Purviance CDorothy Weaverj, a tourist who had good luck. The ad has been put in by a lonely old widower who wants a wife. Aunt Abby's niece Anna CRuth Grimm! and her niece's churn Lillian CWilma Fowlerb after discovering and destroying the letter, make plans for Billy CBod Thornj, engaged to Lillian, and Bobby fDon Myersb Anna's boy-friend, to disguise as Horace Hark- well, the lonely widower. They don't count on Aunt Abby's writing another letter, special delivery. When Horace fTom Leightyb actually arrives things have become so involved and Aunt Abby is so mad she sends him back in a hurry. She finally consents to marry Horace Hart- er, her erstwhile unwelcome suitor played by William Buttermore. Katherine Jean Lowe gives a very good performance as Essie Ebber- sole, a fourteen-year-old tattle-tale. 45 ATHLETIC It matters not who Won or lost, but how you played the game. With this admonition ringing in his ears, the athlete goes forth on the field or in the gym to battle for East Huntingdon, ever keeping in mind good sportsmanship, fair play, and cooperation. l 46 47 FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row: Howard Grosser, James Sherrick, George Begonia, Mike Ovitsky, Joe Popovich, Bob Martinosky, Leo Balcerek, R.

The FOOTBALL SEASON As the time drew near for school to open, a call to football practice was issued. All the boys that had fighting blood coursing through their veins donned football togs and buckled down to hard work. Due to the cancellation of the previous year's schedule, coach Rep Tomechko found himself with a squad of green material to which the fundamentals of the game had to be taught. There was much priming to be done-much more than could be accomplished in the few short months the football season lasts. The timing and pre cision that characterize every good team was lacking in ours Despite numerous injuries the boys gave their best, but experience was against them in every encounter, and for the Iirst time in the history of the school, East Huntingdon failed to win a game. This year the coaching staff was enlarged by the addition of Mr. George Frethy who hails from Lockhaven State Teachers College and has had many years of experience in .practically every sport With the combined efforts of coaches Tomechko, Frethy, and Carnack, there is much to be expected next year. The experience gained in actual games by the numerous undergraduates will prove invaluable to them, and it is hoped that the Bulldogs will stage a comeback and make East Huntingdon second to none once more. 48 BASKET BALL TEAM Seated reading from left to right: Mr. Carnack, Nevin Clausner, Homer Miller, Frank Novatny, Ed Petro, Ed Pytlak, Walter Bales, Mr. Frethy. Back row: John Kapelewski, Louise Precosky, Tom Leighty, Marvin Ottenberg, Joe Taylor, James Sheri-ick, Guy Wentsler. The BASKETBALL SEASON The basketball team had a new coach this year. Mr. George Frethy, who took over the hard job of building a ball club at East Huntingdon, had to teach his system to every member of the squad. The boys worked strenuously, but a new basketball system cannot be learned well enough to produce results in one season. However, al- though the records donlt show it, the boys played a much better brand of ball than ever before. In spots they looked like champions, upsetting Derry Township and nearly defeating Ligonier, section thir- teen leaders. When the team was clicking, there wasn't a better combination in the circuit. This year we lose through graduation five seniors who played on the first team at some time during the season. Foreseeing this loss, Coach Frethy moved several members of the junior varsity up to the varsity to give them experience. They were called upon frequently during the year, and in some cases, showed signs of becoming top- notch players. Thus we have good reason to expect the team to come through next year. The interest in basketball evidenced by the students is indica- tive of the spirit which is coming back to East Huntingdon. The faith the fans have shown in their team will surely give the boys needed punch to climb to the first division of their bracket. 49 The VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club which is composed of all the boys who have earned at least one letter in any sport, has for its purpose the promo- tion of clean sportsmanship and the making of better athletes. Mr. Tomechko sponsors this lively organization which, at its first meeting, elected Ed Petro as president, Ed Pytlak as vice president, and Ben Myslewski as secretary-treasurer. It has been the custom of the club to buy its graduating members sweaters or jackets, so, as usual, the matter of raising funds came up. After much deliberation and discussion the boys decided that a turkey raffle at Thanksgiving time should be a financial success and they worked hard to put the project over. The turkey graced Mr. Carnack's table on Thanksgiving Day. Wishing to repeat the success of this first venture the club raffled off a box of candy on Valen- tine's Day. They also sold candy at all the home basketball games. However, when the receipts from these activities were totaled at one of the meetings and found to be insufficient, President Petro asked for suggestions as to how to raise the additional amount need- ed. Bob Martinosky, a running guard on the football team, proposed a pre-lenten dance. The idea met with approval and the dance was held in the gym on February 3.
