 EDITOR Joanne Kelly ASSISTANT EDITOR Ruth Mangus ADVISER Ethel Bosley Qua Alma MateA The 1944 REFLECTOR Published by the Senior Class of Ferndale Hiqh School, Ferndale Duruuijh, Johnstown, Pennsylvania F n Once again ice have the privilege of presenting to the students a thorough yet simple account of student life and school activities. In this issue of the Ferndale Reflector is depicted a complete and con- cise record of the year 1943-44. Desiring to portray school life in the spirit of the present time and realizing that, even while ice endeavor to perform our iluties in a great national emergency, the purpose of our education is to prepare us for life after the war. we have chosen as our theme âEducation for Fence. It is our modest hope that wherever and whenever you look at this hook you will find in it the full flavor of happy and active days spent at Ferndale High. â CONTENTS â â Uni1 Leaders â Ulli' Students To the students and teachers of Ferndale High School note defending and serving their country with the same loyal spirit with which they once served their school, ice dedicate this hook. They have calmly laid aside their own desires and ambitions to protect the freedoms and personal liberties which are the bases of all democracy. To them, the symbol of the indomitable American spirit, we make a hum- ble salute in which all those who read the pages that follow will join us.

Sharpe, Ferndale Schools lost an active and faithful member of the Board of Education. Pupils, teachers, and fellow board mem- bers knew him as one who desired always the best for our educational system. Multiplied evidences of his whole-hearted interest in their personal and individual success endeared him to the student body. Remembering him, they cannot help but be inspired by his faithfulness to his civic responsibilities, his loyalty to his church, and his devotion to his home and family. His death is our great loss. 3n Jlfemnrtam HERBERT W. ENGLISH During the past term the Ferndale schools have suffered an inestimable loss. The death of Mr. Herbert English on November 15, 1943, ended a long and memorable career of teaching. The sterling quality of his character is written in- delibly in the hearts of his students. His greetings to everyone were always warm and wholesome. Through his sincerity, humor, and unfailing determination, he helped to develop the skill and ability of every pupil with whom he had contact. Both students and teachers of Ferndale High School deeply mourn the passing of this outstanding friend and adviser. FRANK KELLER Supervising Principal Attended the University of Pittsburgh . . . secured B. S. and M. A. degrees . . . member of Phi Delta Kappa. Mr. Keller, as supervising principal, has intro- duced many new plans and interesting projects. A firm protector of school property and a strong advo- cate of a friendly school spirit, he has brought Fern- dale much recognition through his ability and fore- sight. Always concerned with student problems, he is ever ready to give understanding counsel and advice. 12 Orin C. Nauole Harry B. Schrtok Wilson S. Geisler Harry C. Miller William G. Ashman Vice President Secretary President Treasurer Member mmiu nr Finn; tuiiv The men pictured here determine the policies of our school. Not only are they responsible for solving school problems, but they must also see that each pupil receives the proper education so that we of the future generation will be prepared to meet the challenge of securing and keeping a lasting world peace. These civic-minded men are alert to the fact that the pupils of today are the citizens of the future. It is their desire and determination to educate us so that we will be able to carry on the duties that will be set before us. To see that we obtain this education, the board holds regular monthly meetings. At these meetings they elect teachers, buy text books, and perform other tasks essential to the opera- tion of the school. To these leaders, who have been so helpful and considerate in starting us toward our goal of obtaining happiness and future security, we give our genuine and sincere thanks. 13 THEY MULU THE FDUNHATION â â MARY SPANGLER . . . attended California State Teachers College.

Organized for the purpose of student self-government, this group serves as a mediator between the administration and student body, and helps to solve problems within the school. Regardless of its size or nature, each matter is given thought- ful study and consideration. The organization, of which Mr. Keller is adviser, is composed of two representatives, a boy and a girl, from each home room. These students take part in the discussion of problems which come before them from time to time; if a decision is reached, they report the matter to their classmates. Through their efforts many new suggestions and clever ideas were introduced. To provide recreation for the students, noon dancing was begun and proved successful. Movies and several novelty shows were also arranged by the group Pupils were urged to participate in assemblies, and in this way new talent and leadership were discovered. â OFFICERS William James President George Swick Vice President Nancy Todhunter Secretary YOUTH SIILVF.S ITS PROBLEMS â â 17 @44 1 Stiddlesiti â SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Robert Esch President ROBERT ESCH â every- one likes our genial, skillful, alert (?) presi- dent . . . the topnotch humorist in chemistry . . .

Worthy material was contributed by the juniors to the band and orchestra as well as to Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. They really went over the top with their magazine sales . . . broke all records . . . then planned furiously for the prom. Class rings were some- thing special, and how they did flash them around. Although they had a hec- tic time tackling physics, shorthand, and other trying subjects, they kept the honor roll well supplied. Now, after struggling through an exciting junior year, they are looking forward to taking their places as seniors. 30 THE JUNIDHS â â OFFICERS PresidentâIrvin Wick nick Vice PresidentâRobert Haire Sec.-Treas.âMichael Parlevechio PresidentâDonald Rose Vice PresidentâEdward Mish See.-Treas.âRobert Ripple AND SOPHOMORES The shy, frightened, inexperienced âgreenies of last year have completely for- gotten they were labeled as such ... as sophomores, they now look down on this year's âfreshies. After getting acquainted in their freshman year, they were ready to start this year with a âbang. They ac- cepted their school work as whole-heart- edly as their extracurricular activitiesâtak- ing part in all sports, majorettes, Courier, Reflector, Student Council, and assembly programs. Many things were accomplished under the leadership of their capable class officers and sponsors. The school expects to hear much more from this enthusiastic group in the next two years.

The boys likewise accepted opportunities to take part in football, basketball, and wrestling. An unusually large number of freshmen achieved places on the honor roll throughout the year. Much musical ability was displayed by their participation in both band and or- chestra, and a very definite interest was shown in jitterbugging.

HUH l HIIIV1IfiIIVIi UjYDEHCLASSMEN Although the seventh grade had a rather small class, they had no trouble in making their presence known. After getting acquainted with the halls and classrooms of their new building, they became really quite prominent in school social functions . . . games, dances, assemblies, and other school activities. Besides adding home economics and shop to their regular studies, a few also added a special 3:30 to 4:30 session. Exhibiting great possibilities socially and as scholars, they show pros- pects for future school years. Last year's youngsters gradually settled down to become a snappy, wide awake group. Learning to saunter leisurely instead of tearing to the next class was quite a problem for them, but it was solved. Although they weren't as yet permitted to take part in all activities, they loyally supported the team with their hearty cheering. Some of them have already become jitterbugs. They are looking forward to next year's promising programs, even though they will be merely freshies 33 6aA Athlet l row f 5? 0 ;,0 !rciblr- ss- { ÂŁââ Mr second J i -F. sâWr IT'S r cclÂŁr {JKX,mbâS: HY;r: bXâh row '0hn',0 : ' hnâ ' «âąâą Câ,ncy 'mG Ro ,,8 -. â UEFEIVDEHS IIF THE BLAEK AND MIMI FERNDALE BUMPS RICHLAND EBENSBURG PULLS SURPRISE September 10âPutting on a scintillating display of power and speed which had Rich- land Township running around in circles most of the time, the Yellow Jackets opened their grid campaign with a resounding bang by scoring a 21-0 triumph at the Point Stadium. Details of the game can best be told in a few figures, which give the Stingers credit for 289 yards gained from scrimmage against 73 for Richland, while the first downs read 18-6 in favor of the winners. Backed on their heels when the Jackets scored in each of the first three quarters, the Townshippers showed their only signs of life early in the final frame, when the game was already beyond redemption. Their attack was shackled by an alert Ferndale defense. Halfback Frambach and Fullback Ripple ac- counted for most of their team's yardage. September 17âEbensburg High School's underrated Red Devils pulled a major sur- prise when they knocked off Ferndale's vet- eran outfit, 18-6, on the Ebensburg field. Long runs accounted for two of the Countyseaters' touchdowns and a 56-yard march produced the third, while the Yellow Jackets were limited to a single touchdown late in the game. Running up a 14-11 margin in first downs, the Red Devils piled up 323 yards against 234 for the Stingers, whose passes and razzle-dazzle were broken up by the fast-charging Ebensburg line. It was only after the counter by their foe that the Stingers were able to get going. Two laterals yielded a first down, and two runs by Frambach brought the ball to the six-yard line, from where Ripple went over. 36 THE MANAGERSâ(left lo right) Market. Wright. Buck. Buterbaugh JACKETS DEFEAT INDIANS September 24âStriking back with a resounding bang after seeing their first-period lead wiped out, Fern- dale High counted twice in the sec- ond half to batter Conemaugh Town- ship into defeat, 19-7, at the Point Stadium. The Stringers started out by car- rying the opening kickoff 83 yards on just eleven plays, but the Indians forged ahead in the third session on an 80 yard march and successful conversion. Coach Fisher's boys were quickly back in the van, need- ing only three plays to score; then they followed up with a cake-icing touch- down in the final session on a 47-yard ad- vance. PUNXSUTAWNEY BOWS TO F. H. S. September 30âCashing in on the scor- ing opportunity which came their way in the final frame, the Yellow Jackets rammed over the game-winning touchdown to trip an inexperienced but stubborn Punxsu- tawney combination, 12-7, at the Point Stadium. Ferndale outplayed the visitors as the 10-4 margin in first downs indicates, and took the lead by scoring in the second quar- ter. Aside from their lone touchdown jour- ney in the third stanza, the Jefferson County lads were never able to pass the mid- stripe. PORTAGE TOPS STINGERS October 8âPortage High School's foot- ball team pinned a 12-7 setback on the Yel- low Jackets in a close, hard-fought engage- ment on the Portage field. After a scoreless first half. Portage tallied a touchdown in the third period and another in the fourth session before Coach Fisher's proteges rallied for seven points near the end of the game. Portage held an 11-8 edge in first downs. The rivals were virtually even in the first half. Ferndale scored in the last few minutes of the game when Ripple passed from his own forty to Clawson on the ten. On the next play Frambach passed to Claw- son in the end zone for the score. â Contact Hash Scramble 37 â First Una of Defense At Ease FERNDALE WINS THRILLER October 15âFerndale High staged a brilliant game to shackle the previously un- defeated DuBois High machine on their home field by a surprisingly big 13-7 margin. Trailing by a 7-6 score at half-time, the Jackets came surging back to score twice in each of the last two frames and turn what once was a close game into a landslide. Ronald Nine made the most spectacular play of the evening when he took the sec- ond half kickoff on his own goal line and tore straight up the field for 89 yards. Ripple accounted for three touchdowns, while Geisler and Frambach each crossed the line once. CONEMAUGH MAKES CONQUEST October 21âConemaugh High's Iron Horses lived up to their name with a 25-7 conquest of Ferndale High at the Point Sta- dium to break the long jinx held over them by the Jackets. The Conemaugh boys made 245 net yards by rushing and picked up 84 more by completing two passes. They collected 11 first downs. Ferndale also covered plenty of ground, gaining 131 yards by rushing and another 122 by completing nine of 21 passes. Aside from their third period touch- down, the Stingers were stopped cold once in scoring position. Hemminger recovered a fumble to pave the way for his team's score, which was carried over by Ripple. On Parade â Hit 'Em High ' â Caught in the Act SOUTH FORK GETS DUNKING October 28âThe Yellow Jackets got a linal tuneup for the Westmont battle in actual combat maneuvers by dunking South Fork in the Point Stadium mud, 26-0. Despite the heavy goo, the Stingers man- aged to toss the ball around a little, but in the main relied on straight football to score twice in the second stanza and once each in the last two. Aside from the first few minutes of play, the South Fork Falcons were never in the game offensively. But the visitors spent a busy evening defensively chasing the Jac- kets all over the premises, as Coach Fisher's lads scored on drives of 81, 89, 62, and 36 yards to rack up their fifth triumph. â The Voice of Authority WESTMONT SWATS STINGERS November 4âWith fire in their eyes, Westmont's high-geared Hilltoppers swatted the Yellow Jackets, 13-7, at the Point Sta- dium in their twentieth annual battle. Going into the fray with the incentive of breaking the eight-year jinx hanging over their heads, the Red and Gray combination had to wait until late in the third quarter to get its offensive going. Scoring twice in the beginning of the final stanza, Westmont held the count to 13-0 until the final minute to play. Then Frambach tossed a perfect strike to Nine, who made the catch on his own 45, cleverly outwitted two defenders, and romped down the field. With a Twist of the Wrist Playing Catch 41 Benchwarmer Blues First Aid ALEUT MINUS STRUNG MUSCLES â The Home Front 42 JACKETS MEET DEFEAT November 11âIn a wide open game played at Lewistown, Fern- dale's Yellow Jackets were defeat- ed, 26-13. The winners made 16 first downs and the visitors 13. The locals scored twin touch- downs in the first and third frames, while the invaders count- ed single six-pointers in the two other chapters. Geisler carried the ball over in the second quarter, and Nine grabbed a pass for the extra point. Frambach chalked up the Jackets' other touchdown when he went across in the last quarter after a sustained march. BARNESBORO NIPS FERNDALE November 19âIn a listless game played in the Barnesboro Stadium, the locals set back Fern- dale, 7-0. Lack of action can be blamed on the field, which was all mud and prevented either team from getting any lasting of- fensive under way. Considering the condition of the ball and the evident eager- ness of both teams, there were surprisingly few penalties. Bar- nesboro had a 7-5 edge in first downs, with most of them coming in the last few minutes when the Red Dragons pushed over the lone tally of the game.

Ferndale was in the lead soon after the game started, but had trouble getting the ball into scoring position for the remainder of the contest. The inexperienced Stingers were defeat- ed 37-16 by the strong Catholic cohorts. Referee in Command While their ballhandling was still a little sluggish, the borough men showed much more aggressiveness and skill. The opening two quarters of the Fern- dale vs. Conemaugh Township game were packed with practically all of the scoring action. Although they handled the ball well in the early going, Coach Fisher's passers really did best at the foul line, making ten point-adding shots. The game ended 33-11. Having a big height advantage, Alle- gany's rangy and fast cage representatives enjoyed two big point-getting quarters to double the final score 32-16. Although the Jackets worked the ball consistently in the action-packed last round, not enough points were gathered to change the ultimate de- cision. Opening the Tri-County League season, the Stingers climaxed a great uphill fight against Indiana with a winning drive in the last frame. With less than a minute to play, Clawson hit the basket to set the stage for a game-deciding bucket, which Fisher made to eke out the 28-27 count in our favor. â â WITH HUH CAUCUS Neither Ebensburg nor the home team could get its offensive maneuvers clicking in the first half, but the second half was en- tirely different. The County-seaters took the lead, but held only a 22-21 edge until they sank the game-clinching basket with the second hand on the clock making its final spin. Ferndale's cagers came up with one of their best games of the season to go on a scoring spree against Conemaugh Town- ship and cart off a 52-15 victory. Dominat- ing the play from start to finish, all but one of the Stingers stuck a finger in the scoring pie. Boasting one of the best teams in their school's history, Johnstown played before the largest crowd of the year and carted home the long end of a 32-18 score largely through the stellar play of their center, Rey- nolds, and the sharp-shooting of Slobozien. Our team failed to take advantage of the Trojans' defense, which permitted plenty of opportunities to score. Westmont and Ferndale put on their customary ding-dong battle, until our oppo- nents began to take a decisive lead in the third stanza. From this point, the Red and Grey moved on to final triumph. Limited to a slim two-point lead during the first eight minutes of action, Conemaugh grew stronger as the game proceeded and hit their peak in the last frame by handcuff- ing the Jackets without a point in that quarter. â Time Out for a Pick-up â THEY STRIVE Til EONUUER â â The Fishermen shaded Windber by a close 34-33 count in a game that saw the home team hold the lead throughout the first half. The Miners took the lead in the third quarter, but hard playing in the final period brought Ferndale out on top. Exhibiting a strong passing attack, Al- toona dominated play and took the game, 46-16. Although able to break through the Maroons' defensive setup with consistency, Sideline Critics â the Ferndale quintet were stumped when it came to shooting, since the height of their opponents enabled Altoona to control the ball off both boards. Stymied without a point in the entire period. Coach Fisher's men still managed to nose out Ebensburg, 16-15. Neither team could make any headway in the first frame, but margins in the second and third periods gave Ferndale a lead big enough to with- stand the County-seaters' last-ditch efforts. The Jackets traveled to Indiana and played the best ball of the year to win 48-37. Both teams had hot fingers, but our boys made few mistakes and worked together with clock-like precision. It would be im- possible to name an outstanding player, since both the varsity and junior varsity performed like veterans. Windber High defeated Ferndale for the first time since early in the 1938 season when they won a 29-22 decision. The Coal- miners could muster only five points in the opening quarter, but they were enough to provide a comfortable lead for the remain- der of the game.

Mr. Fisher ACCENT UN VICTnflY Given trouble only in the third period, Ferndale's cagers breezed through a 27-16 triumph over Southmont's Tigers. Our lads got the jump at the opening whistle and re- mained on top. The visitors came to life after the halftime; however, the Stingers came back with a rush for seven points in the final round. fn our second meeting with the Trojans, we showed a decided improvement over many of our earlier games. Our defense had the Johnnies' high gear attack well- bottled. While our lads played an excellent passing and floor game, their shooting was decidedly off and we emerged on the short end of an 18-27 score. The Yellow Jackets rose to great heights when they knocked off the smooth-sailing Westmonters, 25-21, in the year's roost stun- ning upset. Starting off like a ball of fire, Ferndale clicked for eleven consecutive points before the Hilltoppers converted a foul to start their scoring. In a game which saw every player on the squad in action, we could garner but four points during the entire thirty-two min- utes. The whole team played as though in a trance, failing to make even peep shots, while the Catholic offense and defense worked almost to perfection. Fisher's boys threw another big surprise party when they trounced the unsuspecting Conemaugh Iron Horses by a 33-20 deci- sion. Sparked by Simler, who ruffled the em- broidery work for five field goals, Ferndale's ballhandling and defense worked to per- fection. MANAGKRSâFIRST ROW Markrl, Butrrhauah. SECOND ROW: Auman. Blough. R. Schuster. Buck. I.amplighler's Serenade â â Bucket Bound Taking each of the last three periods by two-point margins, the Stingers downed Southmont, 23-18. The Jackets dropped the first round and were trailing early in the second when they suddenly pulled out front with nine consecutive points. In the final stanza the Tigers reduced the gap, but Fern- dale quickly retaliated. Altoona came to Ferndale expecting lit- tle trouble, as they had scored almost at will in a previous game. The Jacket defense worked well and held the visitors in check; but again their poor eye for the bucket caused the Stingers' downfall, as they made but five of 63 shots. Ferndale traveled to South Fork for a re- turn game. For the first two quarters it looked as if the Black and Gold were going places, but with the second half the attack bogged down. The sharp shooting of Mor- gan and Rowe proved too much, and the Jackets came out on the short end of a 31-25 score. In a fast moving game, Allegany emerged a 40-31 winner from a return en- gagement on our floor. After the senior five got off to a poor start, giving the Mary- landers a nine-point lead, the junior five entered the fray and for the next eighteen minutes held their more experienced visitors on even terms.

They play- ed a twenty-three game schedule, winning sixteen and losing seven. The squad was made up of seven freshmen and six juniors. The freshmen played the first five games on the schedule, losing close games to South Fork, Catholic High, and Ebensburg and de- feating Conemaugh Township and Indiana. In order to strengthen their team for Tri- county competition. Cable, Cushman, Hind- man, and Nine were added. This combin- ation with Bruce Fisher from the freshman squad finished second to Westmont's junior- senior outfit. The highlights of the junior varsity season were two games won from Johnstown High juniors and two games won from Catholic High J V's in a three-game series. The team scored a total of 540 points, an average of 24 per game, while the best their opponents could do was to score 374 points, an average of 17 points per gamÂź Bruce Fisher had the highest individual score, totaling 224 points on 88 field goals and 48 fouls for an average of 10 points per game.

This new- est sport at the school is wrestling, coached by Mr. Luchsinger. Although the program was first organized two years ago, it was not until this year that wrestling was given a place on the interscholastic sports calendar. The team's record of one victory and ten defeats is by no means an indication of the wrestlers' spirit, nor is it an index of how hard they worked. The boys exerted every effort to overcome the handicap of inexperience, and in the meets each boy really put up a fight. Even though our op- ponents were frequently victorious, each one knew he had been in a battle. Another fact about the team's record should be made clear: of the meets lost, about one-half were by one or two point margins. One of the most encouraging things about the wrestling squad was the improvement shown by the boys as the season pro- gressed. Two wrestlers closed the season with almost perfect records. These boys, Jim Pin- elli and Jessie James, each won all but one of his bouts, both losses being close de- cisions. They were the only senior members of the team, and they certainly set a good example for the others to follow A brief summary of their records follows. Jim Pinelli, captain of the team and a senior, wrestled in the one hundred and sixty-five pound class. He won nine bouts and lost one. Two of his victories were by pins, six by decision, and one by forfeit. His most notable victory was over Keblisk of Somer- set High School, who outweighed him by twenty-six pounds. Jessie James, senior and now an air cadet, wrestled in the one hun- dred and fifty-four pound class, winning ten out of eleven matches. Of his wins, nine were by decision and one by pin. His most important victory was a decision over Ep- pley, which gave the Boswell star his first defeat. Now that wrestling season is over, the boys are looking forward to the next year and hoping for a more successful outcome. With all but two of the boys returning, it is our guess that they'll have it. 50 â â MSPLAYED BY MATTERS til S Z J. James H Bremer H Hamer T.

I will obey training rules and play the game hard for the fun of the game, trying to win by strength and skill. I will treat my opponents with courtesy. If I play in a group game, I will play not for my own glory, but for the success of my team. I will be a good loser and a gener- ous winner ... This is a portion of the pledge that each F Club member must make. The purpose of fair play, cooperation, and clean sportsmanship is practiced by the boys, not only on the field and court, but also in their everyday living. To become a member of the organiza- tion, athletes must meet the requirements for a letter in one or more of the varsity teams. Letters are also earned by obtaining a total of five hundred points, fifty of which must be earned in interscholastic games. Besides gaining honor for the school, they have achieved personal victories. They have found that teamwork, imaginative leadership, and plain hard work are the safest foundations on which to build for the future which they, as Ferndale lettermen, face with eagerness and with confidence. â â Fill! MEIIITI1HIIIUS SEHVIEE 52 CREATIVE RECREATION â â The chief interclass sport for Ferndale girls is volleyball. From the four high school classes approximately ninety girls partici- pated in the games this year. During the contest the girls displayed sportsmanship, friendly rivalry, and good playing ability. Their rewards were clean fun and whole- some exercise. Each group and each girl entering into the competition served to make the games more interesting to spectators and to play- ers. The less experienced teams learned by playing and by watching the more exper- ienced teams, and so the rivalry became keener as the contests progressed. Two SENIORSâ FIRST ROW (left lo right) Smktr.

The girls remember with fond memories the good times had by all, the spirited yells at the end of each game, and the friendly associations which shall endure in the years to follow high school days.

It is here that future varsity stars first learn the rudiments of the game. With 86 boys taking part this year, teams were organized into major and minor leagues. A total of 112 games were played, each team playing twice a week under student officials. The first half ended February 22 with two teams undefeated: the juniors in the major league and the seventh grades in the minor league. The second half closed March 10; in the major league the seniors emerged undefeated. In the play-off the seniors, Pinelli, Hassenplug, Gilbert, Krope, James, Howard, and Kimmel, defeated the juniors, 23-20. In the minor league the seventh grade repeated their first half performance and did not lose a game in nine starts; in the play-off with the major league winners, they were completely outclassed and fell by a score of M-19.

Each class entered one team, with a total of about sixty girls tak- ing active part in the contests. The friendly rivalry between the class teams made most of the games interesting and hard-fought. The sophomore and senior teams were close competitors, with the sophomores, who lost only one game out of fifteen, taking the pennant. The âfreshies, a little slow in get- ting started, were just beginning to display their ability when the season closed. The juniors, who were sometimes very good and sometimes not so good, entered into the contests with as great enthusiasm as any other class team. Their spirit more than compensated for their poor showing in the number of games won. Having closed the basketball season for another year, the girls will remember those special nights, Monday and Friday, which furnished for all of them loads of fun and priceless recollections. â EAliEII PAHTIEIPATIUN 55 kas3 iSasBSE vuA. nte ipAiAeA, FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES-FIRST ROW (left to right) Slavik.

The year's program began with a lively initiation. Assisting the Red Cross, the girls made utility bags, bedroom slippers, and enter- taining scrapbooks for the soldiers. Many also volunteered their services for hospital duty. Highlighting their social events was the annual sport hop, this year known as the Snow Ball. Every second Wednesday at their meetings, interesting and instructive programs were presented. â GIRL RESERVES President Alta Fisher Vice President Roberta Pollock Secretary Mary Johnston Treasurer Vera Warren Advisers Miss Hornick Miss Wilson HEADY FUH SEHVICE â 58 HEAEHUMIi TIIVVAIUI THE BEST â â HI-Y President Robert Esch Vice President Richard Hassenplug Secretary Jack Schuster Treasurer Irvin Wicknick Adviser Mr. Kuhs The Hi-Y Club, sponsored by the Johnstown Y M C A., had a very busy and successful year. From a membership greatly increased over that of previous years the club elected its officers, who were chosen, incidentally, to offices on the greater Johns- town Hi-Y council. Under the direction of Mr. Kuhs the club carried out many activities, held a victory dance after the Westmont game, par- ticipated in the mixed dance held by the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y, and completed their social calendar with the annual Jamboree. In addition to their social functions, the boys also operated a con- cession at all the basketball games, maintained a flower fund for the school, and gave gifts to all boys leaving for the service.

Yes, it's the Courier; and what a line it has, the best slant on everything! Certain Ferndale mortals known as editor, feature editor, sports editor, and typists go around tearing their hair and complaining about the inefficiency of the reporters, of themselves, and of life in general. Nevertheless, after much ranting, piecing, and composing, the Courier gets underway. The nightmare of publishing a high school newspaper rolls merrily on, with last min- ute scoops to add to the complications. Spicy editorials, clever comments, assembly reviews, hints to the wise and otherwise, sport disappointments or successes, and school activi- ties in general form the major part of the Courier. Miss Long, who has taken charge of the publi- cation this year, has proved herself to be very efficient and resourceful. She has contributed many new and delightfully different ideas. The paper has given to everyone a complete review of all events, both classroom and extra- curricular. Each reporter is constantly on the job to prevent anything from passing unnoticed. One of the new features is the Victory Puzzle, which gives industrious study hall workers something on which to exert their energy. NIITHIM HUT THE THUTH â 60 HISTmiY IN THE MAKING â â Another year. Another yearbook. Yes, the 1944 Reflector has now become a cherished pos- session of every student, enfolding between its covers the complete story of the year 1943-44. After many weeks of planning, writing, and working, the editors and staff with the able as- sistance of Mrs. Bosley and Mr. Custer present their finished product, hoping it will meet with your approval. We have attempted to portray an accurate record of your classes, activities, and interesting experiences. To each phase of high school life, we have striven to give its proper place. In choosing our theme, we have selected a subject both timely and practical. We realize that today our chief task is to attain victory, and once it is gained, our job, as future citizens, is to protect and maintain that hard-won peace. Therefore, our selection has been âEducation for Peace. We have tried to make this publication as at- tractive and original as war-time conditions per- mit. The informality of the book is an outstanding feature. Interesting, witty articles, true-to-life snapshots, clever layouts all have been com- bined to make a pleasing annual for you. We of the staff trust our efforts were not in vain. It is our wish that this Reflector will be a source of real pleasure to all its readers. REFLECTOR STAFF Editor ..........

When Mrs. Blough took charge last fall the member- ship totaled forty, of whom twenty-four were old members and sixteen were new. These officers were elected by the group: Jack Kimmel, president; Ted Gilbert, vice presi- dent; Elizabeth Anne Sharpe, secretary; and James Krope, Treasurer. Rehearsals were held daily throughout football season and on Mondays and Wed- nesdays thereafter. The band added quite a number of new selections to its repertoire during the year in addition to learning the popular service marches. Another important achievement was the purchase by the mu- sic department of two new drums, which were added to the percussion section of the band. Numerous public appearances were made by the musicians. Their performances between halves at the football games add- ed much to the color and spirit of the events and were greatly enjoyed by all who at- tended. The band also played for basket- ball games, participated in the Red Cross parade, and played for the Spring Concert. No article on the band would be com- plete without a word about the drum ma- jors: George Roberts, Harry Hamilton, and second-grader Jimmy Ream. Their twirling and high-stepping were a feature of every appearance. Majorettes Sandra Mitchell and Joan Moors, and the twelve graceful twirl- ers trained by Cookie and âHap were an extra special attraction. At athletic contests the peppy cheer leaders appeared with the band, getting a fine response from Ferndale rooters. FIRST ROW Jimmy Roam. SECOND ROW t left to right) Hamilton.

SEVENTH ROW: Each Wednesday morning brought a stimulating session of song to the glee club members. After dismissing classroom for- mality and exercising their vocal cords a little, the girls really got in the groove. Many long, pleasant hours of practice were spent, especially during the weeks preced- ing the Spring Concert Although at first the pitches tended to be a shade off-key, under Mrs. Blough's patient direction perfect har- mony was attained. All types of music were includedâclassic, sacred, folk tunes, and occasionally a little jazz. â â _______________ â â _________ __________ â â With the wave of her baton and a nod of her head, Mrs. Blough, the new music di- rector, begins rehearsing with the orchestra. These rehearsals take place several morn- ings each week during activity period. Here the musicians repeat again and again the difficult passages until every note is exact and every beat in perfect time. The value of these practices was shown at the Spring Concert, between acts at the senior play, by additions to our assemblies, in the at- mosphere at Open House. This year the organization has gained many new members. The majority of these The glee club was open to all girls in high school, many of whom eagerly joined its ranks. The chorus was prominent at all musical functions, particularly when it en- tertained in assemblies and participated in the Spring Concert. It not only improved its members' musical ability as a whole, but also developed several outstanding indiv- idual accomplishments. Among these were some talented soloists, as well as a vocal trio. In addition to gaining new musical knowledge, each member received much pleasure and enjoyment. ____ â â ______ â are underclassmen, who will provide a val- uable reserve for future years. For the first time in many years all the musical instru- ments owned by the school are in the pos- session of students eager to master them. Mrs. Blough gives much encouragement and help to these individuals; consequently the interest in music is widening. New music was purchased for the or- chestra, and on it the pupils worked dili- gently. A decided improvement was noted at the finale of the season's workâthe Spring Concert. Altogether we think the or- chestra has done a fine job.

To be chosen to this group is a high honor, as usherships are earned through the Girl Reserve merit system. Throughout the year points are award- ed on the basis of participation in the various club projects. Each spring the merits are tabulated, and the senior girls who stand highest are given Girl Reserve pins. The underclass girls with the largest totals are made ushers for the coming year. Before each assembly a double buzz calls the ushers, whose responsi- bility is to seat four hundred eager stu- dents quickly and without confusion. Not only at student functions but also at every program to which our patrons are invited, the ushers give evidence of their efficiency and capability.

Shull The senior class gave a magnificent per- formance this year in presenting Cuckoos On the Hearth by Parker Fennelly. Under the efficient and capable coaching of Mr. Kuhs, the cast was always âkept on the job. At practices between 3:30 and 5:30 one could see all the members devouring candy, pretzels, or whatever seemed to be available at the expense of some unlucky person. Of course practice was not all fun; learning to talk loud enough, memorizing lines, repeating scenes, and practicing stage business filled tedious hours. An at- tractive stage setting was designed and constructed by Mr. Wolf with the help of elective shop students. The cast gave a uni- que performance. Marian Markel and James Krope were outstanding in the leading roles . . . Bob Esch, Dick Hassenplug, and George Roberts were unforgetable as the villains . . . Lois Easton and Bill Dibert provided hearty humor . . . Jack Kimmel gave a con- vincing performance as the lunatic and elu- sive murderer . . . Elinor McConnell, Nancy Todhunter, Elizabeth Anne Sharpe, and Ted Gilbert did well in the supporting roles. Ruth Mangus, the student director, deserves much credit for her work behind the scenes. These are now all pleasant memories to the cast. At both performances each member did his best to make the play go down as one of the best Ferndale has ever presented. 67 68 Our Serious Side â [JAY AT F. II. S. â The days of the Ferndale student are lively, happy hours, each one treasured as an unforgetable experience. Study and re- laxation, triumph and defeat, disappoint- ment and pleasure, all are combined in a typical school day. By the dawn's early light those who live in the out-lying districts crawl out of bed, and after a hasty departure from home, finally catch the bus By the time they ar- rive at school, the students living in Fern- dale are doing their first yawning and stretching. After a mad scramble getting dressed and dashing down the street, these individuals experience a narrow escape try- ing to get in home room just as the last bell rings. This is done in much the same man- ner as the early risers catch their bus. When everyone is at last settled at his own desk, sighs of relief are heaved. Oh man, what a way to start the day! After discussing everything during pre- paration period from Mary and Bill to a future Hi-Y dance, students finally get down to serious work. The school offers courses to suit the interests of almost everyoneâ college preparatory, commercial, home eco- nomics, manual training, or special art. For those who make a special effort detention is readily given. Time flies when one takes part in these activities, and before anyone expects it the dismissal bell has rung. With the feeling of having accomplished something, each one leaves this Edifice of Learning and goes on his own way. Nothing special, and yet each moment a lifetime in itselfâthat's an average day at F. H. S. â ENTERTAINMENT PLUS â âFriday's fourth was a high spot in the weekly schedule of every student at Fern- dale High School, for then came the as- sembly. The program this year was ar- ranged and directed by Mrs. Markle, assist- ed by Mrs. Blough and Mr. Kuhs. Student talent provided entertainment at most of the assemblies. During football season there were a series of pep meetings with the cheer leaders in charge. The band contributed greatly to the spirit and snap of these occasions. Outstanding among the other fine student programs were the pa- triotic plays by the seventh and eighth grades, the musical quiz when lack Kimmel quipped and joked in true emcee fashion, and the senior assembly. Most impressive of all the student programs was the beauti- ful nativity play presented just before Christmas. Guest speakers at assemblies were granted eager attention. Rev. J. A. Robinson of the Walnut Grove Church of the Brethern brought an inspiring and practical message at the Thanksgiving program. The sound advice regarding health given by Mr. Rob- ert McKinley of the Philadelphia Dairy Asso- ciation was sugar-coated with delightful humor. Dr. David Cornelius was a most en- lightening speaker on the subject of chirop- ody. It was an honor to have Mrs. Faye Burchfield read poems form her latest book, Dear Johnny, and everyone was pleased with her character-revealing sketches. Paid assemblies for the benefit of the Reflector fund were varied and unusual. Chief Red Feather, a full blooded Cherokee Indian, explained the customs of his peo- ple and performed several of their tribal dances in a program that was both educa- tional and entertaining. Mr. William Neff, a magician from Indiana, Pa., and his two at- tractive assistants kept the students amused and mystified throughout his performance. Movies were not satisfactory, and in their place was arranged a program that was the hit of the year. Mr. D. K. Ernst, known as a practical psychologist and hynotist, amazed everyone with his demonstrations. Bill Dibert, Elizabeth Ann Sharpe, Mary Ann Marine, Bobbie Koehler, and Don Bowers were his subjects, and their sub-conscious responses will never be forgotten by any- one who was present. 69 70 â All in a Day's Work â MARCH 13âBasketball Banquet.
