Ex-Libris THE WARRIOR TEPEE THE WARRIOR FO R E WO R D In this volume we have tried to reproduce the scenes that will linger longest in our memories. High School has meant more to us than a daily routine of study. It has been the medium through which we have made lasting friendships and gained experience that will help us in later life.

In order to show our appreciation to those who have made possible our education, we wish to dedicate this book to the Everett Board of Education. Too often students do not realize the great amount of work necessary “behind the scenes” to have a successful and progressive school system. Since we regard our Everett High School as both successful and progressive, we wish to take the opportunity to publicly express our appreciation and gratitude to the School Board.

SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The problems that confront the members of this graduating class are no different than those that have confronted all young people at these same ages. The trouble with some of the others of another generation is that they failed to make their own decisions. They were afraid to think for themselves. They failed to learn that there is no substitute for hard work. I know of nothing to offer the young people of this age but a life of hard work. I know of nothing that brings more unhappiness than idleness. I know of nothing that brings richer compensation than work. There is plenty of work in the world to do for the person who is prepared and willing to work. Men and women older than you are out of work and idle today because they have failed to find for themselves some useful work. Their point of view has been wrong. They wanted an education so they would not have to work; that they might cultivate ideals, and that they might have the courage to follow those ideals into dreams come true. Students of this High School, I wish you every happiness in this world. I congratulate you upon your achievements. I trust you have the courage to stand for your ideals. I hope you have the larger vision of living. Life may be happy, life may be enjoyable, life may deal you rich compensation if you have vigilance necessary for all liberty and freedom. I know of no finer avocation in this life than to be a Builder of Bridges. For after all, I think the task of youth today is to build a world more beautiful. And more joyous than the world you entered. Page eight FACULTY MR. THOMAS H. KNEPP. B.S., Juniata College. M.S., University of Virginia. History and Biology. “For crying tears.” MISS MARTHA HOWE. A.

The high school of Everett was begun on May 10, 1885, when $5,000 in bonds was issued to help pay for the construction of the building. The high school had previously been in the present grade school. E. H. S., as it appeared in 1886, consisted of the four rooms, now occupied by Miss Howe, Mr. Shirk, Mr. Startzell, and Mr. Hudson. The school, including grade and high, employed eight teachers. The first class graduated from the high school in 1889. The class consisted of two members, Mr. Howard Gump, Sr., and his wife, both deceased. Matters continued on this way for about ten years. In 1901 a total of $10,000 in bonds was issued for the present grade building. In 1928 there were 93 freshmen—25 more than the year before. The crowded conditions made it necessary to add two new classrooms, at present occupied by Miss Black and Miss Stayer, a new stairway and entrance, and a new heating system. In 1932 plans were made for the addition of two more classrooms, but due to the impending school legislation it was deemed advisable to await governmental regulations. In September, 1933, the high school enrollment numbered 251. The school board was compelled to make provision for more room. The completed school consists of the original six rooms, the home economics and chemistry laboratories, the typing room, the new office, the boys’ and girls’ shower rooms and the E. H. S. auditorium. The auditorium has a floor space of 58 x 66 feet and will seat 600 people. The ceiling is 20 feet high. There are six double door exits, one leading directly to the outside, two leading through short halls at the end of the stage, two going into the hallway, and one into the physical education office. The auditorium has been equipped for a number of sports. The total enrollment today is approximately 700 with a faculty composed of 22 for the entire school. Page ten SENIORS SEN IO R REVIEW On Thursday, September 6, we, the class of ’39 started our epochal Senior year. There were 103 effulgent, smiling faces. Dignity, sophistication and the usual antiquated senior traditions were not yet incipient. Even the teachers responded to the tide of good humor that first day. They distributed long white sheets of printed paper. The inevitable schedules which set us to cautiously choosing the part of the curriculum that we desired. Each one secretly promised himself to accomplish great things this year. We were innocuous enough about getting to classes and resuming the “ole text”. We were exuberant when clubs were revived and set into action. We were delighted when elections were held and the new officers installed. All those within our institution of learning became industrious. After a few weeks an insipid atmosphere pervaded. However the monotony of the situation vanished when “The Panther’s Claw” came to the rescue. The cast really terrified the audiences. Next we clamored about basketball season. Would we ever see the first game? Perhaps it was intuition, for who will ever forget such a victorious season. That night at Saxton! And then Bedford! How our hearts leap up when we behold those glorious trophies. Semester exams have a queer way of lurking in the dark and then suddenly leaping out. Some of us were caught. Others graciously took the hurdle. Tragedically or triumphantly we stepped into a second semester destined to go much more quickly than the first. We began to be impressed with the realization that this was our last year. One morning we went down the hall and donned something that felt like a straight jacket. We posed in graduation robes for the year book. A class meeting was held and we selected announcements and name cards. Remember how diligently we made lists of all our doting relatives and wondered what they would give us for graduation. We felt grand and proud when we were measured for our caps and gowns. How suave and composed we were when the Shippensburg play cast was all seniors. Our arrogance at their success was not over emphasized. At last the joyous spring was upon us. And every senior’s fancy lightly turned to thoughts of a new suit. We gossiped and speculated about a trip and a banquet and the dance. Finally we knew that May 19 was the night of all nights. We were adventurers into something new and different at E. H. S. The Junior and Senior proms were to be together. Our curiosity kept us in a stage of anomalous anticipation. Every one had great plans about making whoopee until some pessimist reminded us that this was probably the last dance which the whole class would attend. With the approaching Baccalaureate and Commencement we weren’t quite so frivolous. After all we had spent four years in the place. Formerly we were incorrigible where the last day was concerned. Each one resolving never to look at school again, yet impetuously arriving for a new term when it began. These experiences were over for us. They belonged in what is called a high school career. Our class has ever been the quintessence of the school. Yet we feel confident of a quiescent period when we no longer strut up and down her noble halls. Or even if we fail in this, we have a part of E. H. S. which no one can take away; the friends whom we have made and the knowledge which we grasped. Thus the class of '39 will grow far into the past and be no more. Page twelve CLAYTON CLARK Class President 4: Student Council 3. 4; Hi-Y 3. 4.

In reviewing the future seniors of Everett High School, we find a prosperous group of students. The Juniors are kept at a fast pace by the various activities the school offers. They are represented in every club and extra curricular activity. Jean Weisel has served as captain of the girls' Basketball squad. Leona Mellott, Catherine Leach and Dottie Stayer helped to win those Everett victories. In the boys’ Basketball squad, those boys who helped win the championship are: Junior Perrin, Wayne Manspeaker, Bill Bequeath, Don Wilt, and Jim Zimmerman. The student council representatives are Maynard Horton, Earnest Johnson, and Jean Weisel. The Juniors were the intramural champs in both the girls’ and boys’ team. This year the Junior class produced their first play which was a great success. With their acting ability the Juniors are looking forward to a great Senior class. The social events of the year included the Junior party held in the auditorium. Dancing served as the chief entertainment. The class also helped sponsor a Junior and Senior Prom which was the highlight of the year. Looking forward to the future Seniors of 1939-1940. we know the present Juniors will carry on the activities and traditions of other graduating classes and serve E. H. S. more faithfully than ever.

Since their freshman year they have built a good reputation which the school should be proud of. With basketball players, actors, and musicians, their history will be worth recording. The class is exceptionally proud of their basketball stars, including George Ritchey, William McKinley, and Dick Leach. On the girls’ basketball team are found Betty Diehl, Beatrice Bussard, Betty Brallier, and Genevieve Foor. Next year they are looking forward for their first class play which will produce some excellent stars. Many of the sophomores helped to produce the Christmas program and the Orchestra concerts. In the Orchestra are found Paul Bloom, Eleanor Wright, Keith O’Neal, Ruth Morris, Helen Sparks, and Donald Lash-ley. In the Sophomore Tri-Hi-Y club are Ruth Morris, President, and Wilma Eichleberger, Secretary, who very capably lead the club. Every extra curricular activity finds a large representation of sophomores. These students will serve as leaders in their respective clubs as they gradually push forward to a broader education.

Of course, their favorite indoor sport is giggling but, by the time they have reached the status of upper classmen, they will have attained their proper dignity. The freshman boys have caused many heart-throbs, particularly, among the Senior girls who think they are very “cute”. The freshmen hold their own scholastically, always having several members on the honor roll. In extra curricular activities, also, the freshmen show good potentialities for leadership. Kathryn Karns, Helen Hershberger, Janice Askins, and Ruth Lashley are the freshman orchestra members while the student council representatives are Dick Reeder, Victor Ritchey, and Ruth Lashley. The freshman members of the junior high team are Richard Crawford, Ralph Snyder, Le-Roy Greenawalt, and Norman Shoemaker; the girls participating in basketball are Helen Hershberger, Kathryn Karns, Dorothy Shaffer, Ruth Lashley, and Janice Askins. The Hi-Y is a popular organization with the freshman boys while the girls are interested in girl Scout work. The Parrot Staff, too, includes several promising freshman members. The Chorus has these freshmen among its members: Janice Askins, Marjorie and Margaret Clark, Katherine Harcelrode, Lois Lea-sure, and Ada Stenger. We are sure the high school career of the freshmen will be very successful and we wish them all the luck. Row Four: Donald Felton, Homer Fischer. Ruth Fetters. Concetta Fina. Archie Foor. Doris Foor.

After being defeated by Saxton in the first part of the season, Everett came back to decisively overcome all opposition to win the championship of the Tussey Mountain League. As league champions it was necessary for Everett to meet its old rival. Bedford, before entering P. I. A. A. eliminations. Before a large crowd on the Broad Top floor, Everett defeated Bedford after an exciting and hard fought game, by the score 19-17. This made Everett eligible to compete with Boswell for district five honors. The game was played on Conemaugh High floor at Davidsville. Boswell, superior only in foul shooting ability, eked out a 28-25 victory over a fighting Everett team. By winning 21 out of 23 games, this year’s team had the most remarkable record of any Everett team. Losing only co-captains Foor and Ferrell and center George Sipes, we can hope for an equally successful season next year.

At the beginning of the season the girls started out with a common purpose in mind, to turn in as many wins as possible, for Everett High School. And that’s just what they did! Due to the splendid cooperation and sportsmanship of the girls, our school can now proudly display the cup awarded to the winner of the Tussey Mountain League. Although they started out with a defeat by McConnellsburg, the rest of the season was left unmarred. The defense, led by Captain Jean Weisel, Eleanor Williams, Leona Mellott, and Betty Diehl, was at top form throughout the season. Eleanor Williams displayed remarkable ability in forestalling the opponents’ scoring attempts. The girls on the offensive, Maxine Welker, Doris Gienger, Catherine Leach, and Hazel Giffin, are to be congratulated for their accuracy in shooting. They had a speedy system of getting near to their basket that completely baffled the opposing guards. Maxine Welker was the high scorer for the year, having a total of 180 points. She was closely followed up by Doris Gienger, who had a total of 179 points. The reserves, who all gave their best, assure us that next year’s season will be equally successful. Those reserves were Anna Louise Diehl, Genevieve Foor, Betty Brallier, and Beatrice Bussard.

While lacking in both experience and punch, Everett gave creditable account of itself winning five and losing five in the first. Losing only two players by graduation Everett fielded a nearly veteran team. The playing was featured by the team work of the nine, rather than the playing of any one member. Enthusiasm for this sport, while not as great as for that of basketball, has constantly been on the up grade. We may well predict that in time to come, Everett’s success on the baseball diamond will be as great as it is now on the basketball court. The 1939 season opened with a 9-2 victory over Hancock showing that a good season can be expected. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL The Junior High Basketball had its most successful basketball season in its history. Under the coaching of Mr. Shirk, the team played through a strenuous twelve game schedule, losing only one game to a spirited Broad Top team. Losing only Snyder, Greenawalt, Shoemaker, and Crawford, who will be promoted to the Senior Varsity, the Junior High is looking forward to an equally successful season next year. SOCCER A large number of boys turned out to participate in making Everett’s first soccer team a success. Under the guidance of Coach Donharl, Everett swept through a schedule of five games, losing only one to Green Hill by the narrow margin of three goals, and tying Warfords-burg. The players, although new at the game, played like experienced veterans. Very few players will be lost next season. Schedule: Saxton—Away, 4-1. Green Hill—Away, 1-4. Saxton—Home, 5-0. Warfordsburg—Home, 2-0. Warfordsburg—Away, 1-1. SENIOR INTRAMURAL LEAGUE This year’s Senior intramural basketball title was won by the Junior class, after many upsets and surprises. Many thrills were provided by the class teams at noon hour, particularly by the long shooting of Rayfield Weicht. The Sophomore class team was second and the Seniors caught the “booby” prize. CHEERLEADERS This year the cheerleaders added to their duties, that of ushering at the games. They also led the cheering at all assembly programs and basketball games. Much of the success of our teams may be attributed to this group, who helped the students to voice in concentrated form, encouragement to the teams. Cheerleading is a necessary part of the Everett High School athletic program. Greater enthusiasm can be shown for this squad next year. JUNIOR INTRAMURAL LEAGUE A league composed of seventh, eighth and ninth graders also operated throughout the winter basketball season. It was won easily by a lively freshman team. Coach Snyder’s proteges depended greatly on their heighth and strength advantages. This league will eventually supply the varsity teams with playing material. Page thirty-five Junior Class Team: W.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY This year's major dramatic production, “The Panther’s Claw , given by the Senior Class, proved highly successful. The plot centered about the adventures of three detectives hot on the trail of two dangerous criminals. The obstacles which they encounter, in the company of a young newspaper reporter and four feminine visitors of circumstance, kept the audience breathless with suspense. The cast included: Clifton King—Alton Wright—a slender, neat-looking man of middle age, with youthful appearance. Norma Tremaine—Eula Smith—a very attractive woman. She is charming in manner, with a calm, analytical gaze. Elaine Standish—Jean Hershberger. She has a wonderful sense of humor and a lot of common sense. Jerry Freeman—Grayson Snyder. Jerry is a sample of ambitious youth with a ready eye to business. Hope Fenwick—Charlotte Fletcher. She is perfectly dependable and never strives to be the center of attraction. Tillie Lish—Marie Miller—a timid, little blond, who is afraid of her shadow. Olive Dale—Maxine Clapper—a will-of-the-wisp girl, very vivacious. Edith Dale—Betty Shaffer—Olive’s prim little sister, modest and mouselike. Jake McCord—Clayton Clark—a rather pinched and lean looking man. Tony—Robert Williams—a distorted little hunchback. Luther Stone (The Panther)—Charles Reed—a tall slender man. His face is livid yellow and his piercing eyes flash around like a cat’s. Carl Blythe (The Spider)—John Gates—an accomplice of the Panther. The play was coached by Miss Black and Mr. Hudson. Jeanne Kaiser was prompter and Pauline Reeder, stage manager. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The community Christmas program was presented on December 21, by the Orchestra, Chorus, and Dramatic Club in the Everett High School Auditorium. The entire faculty and student body cooperated in every way possible in making it the biggest and the best that Everett High School ever presented. Many will recall the outstanding huge fireplaces built by two senior boys, Robert Lashley and Melvin Smyers, and the beautiful decorated auditorium with its gleaming candles, the pine lettered windows, and the tableau on the stage. The candle light service was the most spectacular scene, being presented by the Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Donald Hudson. The Orchestra took an active part in the program; playing many beautiful numbers, and accompanying the Chorus in their selections. The Orchestra was directed by Mr. Thomas Knepp. Then the Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Kathleen Black, presented a one act peace play, entitled “Peace I Give Unto Thee”, by Dorothy Clarke Wilson. The characters were: Joseph—Clayton Clark—is a peasant living in the imaginary kingdom of Saxania, who earnestly believes in the cause his country is fighting for. Marta—Charlotte Fletcher—is his wife who is torn between belief in her country’s cause and love of her son. Peter—Floyd Perrin, Jr.—is the one son who is fighting for his country. Alec—Maynard Horton—is the other son who is fighting for the opposing country. A soldier—Grayson Snyder—is fighting for the same country that Alec is. The program was similar to, but more elaborate than last year’s. It is intended to continue these programs yearly, through the cooperation of the school. 'aye thirty-six ACTIVITIES EVERETT HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Thomas H. Knepp, Conductor The Everett High School Orchestra was organized in 1931. At the present thirty-one members make up its personnel. The orchestra owns a fine set of instruments, making it possible to have complete instrumentation. Since its organization the orchestra has studied music of a good quality, giving students an opportunity to learn something of the works of the great masters. A typical concert features works by Weber, Beethoven, Handel, Mozart, Bach, Schubert, and Mendelssohn. Each year the orchestra plays a series of three subscription concerts, well patronized by interested citizens of the town. The patronage of these citizens has been a constant source of encouragement. The concerts give the students an opportunity to appear in public performance, and make it possible for good orchestral music to be heard locally. GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts were organized in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades under the supervision of Miss Stayer and Miss Clevenger. Weekly meetings were held on Thursday during activities period and once a month the meetings were held in the auditorium in the evening. In March the Girl Scouts sponsored a dance, with cards and games. On April 18. the twenty-seven girls who had passed their tenderfoot test were invested as Girl Scouts. April 15, Mrs. Schroder and several Girl Scouts from Stoystown visited the Everett Girl Scouts. During the spring, many interesting hikes were taken and the girls plan to go camping during the summer. H I - Y The Hi-Y club, organized in 1932, has a membership of forty. Pres., Clayton Clark; V. Pres., Quentin Foor; Secy., Norman Foor; Treas., Alton Wright; Advisor, Mr. Shirk. A bake sale in September provided funds to send twelve boys to the Older Boys’ conference at Altoona Dec. 4, 5, 6. Among the social activities were: Initiation night, the County rallies at Broad Top and New Enterprise, the Hi-Y Tri-Hi-Y party. Induction night, the County officers’ banquet at Bedford at which Alton Wright and Clayton Clark were elected V. President and Secretary of the County Committee. The purpose of the Hi-Y “to promote religious growth” was the basic theme of the weekly programs at which various members led the discussions, some of which were most interesting. Rev. Robert Kimball and Rev. E. P. Windman were guest leaders. The club also entered the State Bible Study course and sponsored a Junior Bible study class. A memorable event was the presentation in assembly of “Dress Reversal”, a one act farce with a cast of nine. Our two county officers also attended the State Council meeting at Harrisburg May 6, 7. CHORUS One of the school’s most popular activities is the Chorus. Both classical and modern numbers are included in its repertoire. During the past year, the most outstanding numbers have been “Shortnin’ Bread”, “Goin’ Home”, and “Thanks Be to God”. In order to add variety and a touch of lightness, the Chorus sings a few current popular songs. Some favorites are “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, “Ferdinand, the Bull”, “The Umbrella Man”, and “Ride, Tenderfoot Ride”. The Chorus played a prominent part in the Community Christmas service. One of the best numbers presented was a beautiful medley of Russian carols. “Bethlehem”, and the “Prince of Peace” were other carols included in the program. Always in demand, the Chorus has appeared on many P. T. A. assembly, exchange, and community programs. The Chorus is under the capable direction of Mr. Hudson. Jean Hershberger and Frances Hann are the piano accompanists. Page thirty-eight ORCHESTRA PERSONNEL Thomas H. Knepp, Conductor Violins: Robert Pennell. Jeanne Kaiser. Alton Wright.

Miss Clevenger, Mr. Sharpe Secretary ..............Jean Weisel This year will complete the third year that the Everett High School Student Council has experienced. The Council was organized during the school term of 1936-37 under the direction of Mr. T. G. Will, and by the aid of a few loyal faculty members. Miss Clevenger and Mr. Sharpe were appointed advisors and have retained the position since. The Hallowe’en and Valentine parties, which were sponsored by the Council, both being a grand social success but a financial embarrassment. The most active part of the program this year was the clean-up campaign. January 27, the Council had charge of the assembly program. The program featured a play which was conducted as a Council meeting. All the Council members took their respective parts in the program, including the advisors, Miss Clevenger and Mr. Sharpe who are seldom seen on the stage. Although a part of the 1938-39 Council program was not completed, due to numerous reasons, the Council did advance a few steps on those long stairs they say will lead us to leadership and student government in our school. PRESS CLUB President...................Pauline Reeder Typists Jean Weisel, Dotty Stayer, Vice-President Hazel Giffin Catherine Leach, Anna Louise Diehl Overseer ..Betty Shaffer Advisors........... Miss Stayer, Mr. Donharl The Press Club has been in operation for three years. The aims of the club have been chiefly to weld the school and home closer together in order to keep the parents well informed of high school activities. The club has been used as an advertising medium in announcing coming attractions to the public. The greatest desire of the sponsors was to enable students interested in newspaper work to receive practical experience in gathering and rewriting news. All students belonged to the club who received credit or a pin were required to hand in a certain amount of news. The club has become a regular and necessary part of the school program. PHOTO CLUB Treasurer Robert Lashley Advisors Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Starzell The Photo Club was organized this year. It is under the direction of Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Startzell. The work of the club is carried on in the chemistry laboratory of the high school. The purpose of the club is to teach the members to develop films, print pictures and enlarge them. It gives its members advice as to how to take pictures. The members of the club are very active because the work is interesting. The club members not only do their own photography work, but they do work for others also. The club members think it is a valuable activity, and that it makes an interesting hobby. DRAMATIC CLUB President Eual Smith Secretary-Treasurer Jeanne Kaiser Vice-President Clayton Clark Advisors... Miss Black, Mr. Hudson The Dramatic Club this year was composed of twenty-seven members, mostly consisting of the Senior Class. In order to belong to the club, each person was required to have been in a three-act play or two one-act plays. During the first semester, the club held an initiation party introducing five members to its organization. It also helped in producing a Christmas pageant. A one-act play, “Swept Clean Off Her Feet”, composed of a Senior cast, was presented in one of our assembly programs and in an exchange program at Saxton. Another one act play, “Love In Bloom”, consisting of a Senior cast, was given before the entire school in one of our fine assembly programs. This play was also taken to Shippens-burg State Teachers College on March 3rd and 4th to enter the Drama Meet, and was given in P. T. A. Page forty-one !

CATHERINE HENRY NEW PARROT ADVISOR Catherine Henry, a member of the Junior and Senior High School faculty, was appointed by supervising principal, T. G. Will, faculty advisor of the Parrot Staff for the school year of 1938-39. This position was vacated by Evelyn Zimmerman, who resigned from the field of teaching. Miss Henry, with the aid of the staff, has changed the form of the Parrot, making it to conform with the rules of a newspaper. EXCHANGE EDITOR MAKES REPORT The Parrot exchanges papers with sixty-seven schools. The paper that travels the greatest distance to us is the Tamalpis News, Mill Valley, California. The nearest one is the Bedford Hi Lites, Bedford, Pennsylvania (Where ever that is). Exchange papers come from six different states. They are Maryland, Washington, California, Florida, New York, and Tennessee. PARROT STAFF SPONSORS MATINEES The Everett High School Parrot Staff has sponsored 20 matinees during the past year. Several of these were: “Boy’s Town”, “Marie Antoinette”, “The Texans”, and “My Lucky Star”. The business men, students, and alumni have supported the Staff through advertising and subscribing for the Parrot. EDITORIAL STAFF MEETS Preceding each issue of the school paper is an editorial meeting. The staff supposedly sets to work at seven-thirty. However, the news and exchange editors were the only ones to arrive on time. Others came straggling in later. It was inevitable that the feature editor would be last. These people, who ennoble the press, cast aside the conventions of a formal meeting and diligently read, rewrote and revised the “Parrot”. The climax arrived when the need for more news arose. Only refreshments detained the overworked editors from fleeing. This renewed energy and inspired loyalty. The news was manufactured. And believe it or not, the result is, “THE PARROT”. j Page forty-two TRI-HI-Y First Row: J. Kaiser. J. Hershberger. W. Eichelberger. P. Bzrkman. E. Williams. M. Zembower. M. Welker. A. Foor. R.

TRI-HI-Y Devotional Helen Morgart Social...........Jean Hershberger Refreshment Jean Kaiser Publicity.............Audrey Foor Service Margaret Shuss Sophomore President Ruth Morris Sophomore Secretary Wilma Eichelberger Faculty Advisor—Miss Martha Howe The Tri-Hi-Y club was started in 1932 by Miss Elizabeth Goff. Since then the club has grown until there are 140 voluntary members. At the beginning of the school year the club was divided, forming a Senior and Junior club, and a Sophomore organization. The same officers served for both clubs. The Tri-Hi-Y club is affiliated with the state Y. W. C. A. Its purpose is “to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character”. Every month different topics are discussed which will benefit the girls of the club. The various themes were: Recreation, Club Principles, Peace, Good Deeds, Ideals Worth Living For, Choosing a Life’s Work, Personal Religion, The Home. Following are the highlights of the year. In August a cabinet meeting was held at Miss Howe’s home in Johnstown. Plans were made and problems discussed for the new year. In September 100 new members were taken into the club. These new members were inducted at the initiation party held in the school auditorium. The club attended the fall rally held at New Enterprise. At this time the Everett officers inducted the Martinsburg club. In November the club presented an assembly program based on peace. A play “No Banners President Melba Zembower Vice-President..Priscilla Barkman Corresponding Secretary Mary Grimes Recording Secretary Maxine Welker Treasurer Eleanor Williams Program Vada Miller Financial Bernice Hershberger Page forty-three Flying” was presented with the following people taking part: Mary Louise Barker, Betty Diehl, Eleanor Wright, and Mary Sue Wagner. Thanksgiving baskets were packed and presented to two families in Everett. The officers of the club enjoyed a banquet held at Bedford. The Tri-Hi-Y club acted as Santa Claus during the Yuletide season. Baskets of foodstuffs and gifts were given to two Everett families. Gifts were also donated to three children cared for by the Bedford County Aid Society. Clothing and a money donation of $10 was given to the Bowery Mission. A donation of $20 was sent to Boys’ Town. Since then the club has been receiving a copy of their magazine. The club attended the spring rally of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y at Broad Top. In March the cabinet and sponsors held a spaghetti supper, attending a movie afterwards. In May a tea was held for the mothers. The sponsors for the club are Mrs. Thomas Knepp, Miss Elizabeth McVicker, Mrs. Fred Hershberger and Miss Kathleen Black. Each year it has been the custom for the club to buy something for the school. This year a set of Compton’s encyclopedias was presented to the school. A cupboard was also purchased for Miss Howe’s room to hold the Tri-Hi-Y materials. The money making projects consisted of selling candy at noon and at sports events ; dues ; and from selling stationery. The parties held during the year were : September—Initiation party. October—Kid party. February—Stunt party. November—International party. April—April Fool’s party. January—Athletic party. The club is proud of its activity and wishes to carry on successfully in the coming years. TRI-HI-Y First Row: A. Weimer. A. Foor. H. Hoy. E. Mowery. M. Calhoun. R. Hershberger. H. Sparks. D. King E.
