In spite of war-time teacher shortage and difficult transportation problems, Mr. Keller has supervised Ferndale High School smoothly and efficiently. Be- sides his regular duties as general adviser, he assists the Student Council, keeps order, or a reasonable fascimile thereof, and above all attempts to put across the idea that detention is to be avoided. Although his responsibilities are many, he is always willing to help students iron out their little difficulties. TEN Mr Clawson Mr. Schrock Mr. Naugle Mr. Miller Mr Ashman Member Secretary President Treasurer Vice President BOARD UP EDUCATION The wheels of our educational system are kept turning by the school board, that group of men who are ever striving to provide a finer education for Femdale boys and girls. The members work side by side with Supervising Principal Frank Keller, secur- ing the finest text books and most competent teachers, basic essentials for a fine sys- tem of education. Mr. Orin C. Naugle is president of the board. He resides at 420 Ferndale Avenue but spends a great deal of his time in Swank's, where he is a salesman. Mr. William G. Ash- man, instrument service man for the Bethlehem Steel Company, lives at 845 Vickroy Avenue. He is the vice president of the board. Mr. H. B. Schrock, the secretary, who resides at 435 Ferndale Avenue, is freight clerk for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Harry C. Mill- er, treasurer of the board and salesman for the Johnstown Packing Company, lives at 629 Vickroy Avenue. Mr. A. D. Clawson, the fifth member of the board, is a new-comer this year, replacing Mr. W. S. Geisler who recently resigned.

IIUII LEGISLATORS The Student Council is composed of one representative and one alternate from each home room, making a total of twenty-four members. Three officers were elected by the group: George Blaschak, junior, president; Janet Rankin, senior, vice president; and Ruth Fletcher, sophomore, secre- tary. The purpose of the student governing body is to grant expression for student opinion in the planning of school activities and to provide a clearing house for special problems which require both student and faculty discussion. The group is constantly seeking better and finer ways of encouraging student participation in school administration. The Council strives also to coordinate school activities with those of the community in salvage and scrap drives, so that the school is an active unit in a war-time nation. Outstanding among the accomplishments of the council this year was the raising of funds for the yearbook. The sale of Christmas decorations and matinee performances by Mr. D. K. Ernst, hypnotist, were sponsored for this purpose. Elected by popular vote to represent the entire student body, the Council is a functioning example of the democratic way of life. FIFTEEN SALUTATION TO HUH ALUMNI IN SERVICE Dear Joe, This letter from the Class of Forty-five is written to all Ferndale Alumni in the service of our country. Proudly and gratefully we send our message to you: proudly, because we know you do your duty nobly and faithfully; gratefully, because we realize that freedom to learn is one of the things for which you fight. May these pages be for you a happy echo of your own school days, and may you find in them the assurance that we too carry on. THIISE WHI1 GAVE THEIH LIVES They came so tar to die so young. Strong men who have not died; For age is measured not in years. When death is glorified. They came so far to die so young. Nor ever asked reprieve; And though their sands have quickly run, They would not have us grieve. For they have finished who began. And greater things they do; Who came so far to die so young. Must Jive again in you. —Daniel A. Poling DANIEL M. SPENGLER. 1927 RALPH CLOYD ZIMMERMAN, 1932 MICHAEL REGIS RYAN, 1933 THOMAS G. WALKER, 1934 GEORGE ELROY MILLER, 1938 EDWARD HERSCHEL DICK. 1938 BERT BRENDLINGER, 1939 WILLIAM JERRY COFFEY, 1940 ARTHUR PAUL RUMMEL, 1940 LESLIE VAN HORNE, 1941 ALBERT JOHN WARSING. 1943 NINETEEN PARAGRAPH DAE CuwUculai Activities THE EUUHSE HE STUUY English I Mrs. Markle and Mrs. Hill Text—High School English I by Canby, Opdycke, and Gillum Required of freshmen The freshmen English course aims to re- view and renew grammer studied in grade school and seeks to apply this knowledge in a practical way through the building of composi- tions. both oral and written. Personal themes form a large part of the written composition unit. Pupils learn to use the library and its study tools and to apply this knowledge to their other studies. English II Mr. Kuhs Text—High School English II by Canby, Opdycke, and Gillum Required of sophomores A study of grammar, sentence writing, punctuation, and composition is presented the first semester. Works of outstanding English writers of the 16th, 17th, 18th. and 19th cen- turies are studied in an English literature course during the second semester. English III Mrs. Hill and Miss Grace Hetrick Text—Composition and Rhetoric by Tanner Required of juniors. The first semester includes only the study of composition.

Abraham Lincoln (Drinkwater), The Rivals (Sheridan). English IV Miss Grace Hetrick Texts—New Practical English for High Schools by Lewis and Hosic Literature and Life by Greenlaw and Miles Required of seniors The course in senior English endeavors to em- body the latest researches in the field of English. To develop powers of clear and logical thinking, rightly directed imagination, habits of close and accurate observation, and self-expression, em- phasis is placed upon oral and written expression. A thorough review of technical English precedes spe- cial stress on theme writing, while the public speech and debate receive special drill and treat- ment. A course in intensive reading aims to give a systematic training in the interpretation of the printed page with habits of completeness and exactness. Social Science Mr. Kuhs Text—My Worth to the World by Capen and Melchoir Required of freshmen This two-semester course is better known as Civics. The first semester deals with trainings in citizenship; government, national, state, and local; nomination and election of candidates to public of- fice; and financing government. The aim is to acquaint the student with the political organization of the society in which he lives. The second sem- ester presents the economic pattern of our society. It includes the study of our capitalistic system and vocational guidance. This year, for the first time, the history of Pennsylvania is presented in the final weeks of the semester. World History Mr. Leal Text—Mans Great Adventure by Pahlow Required of sophomores This course presents the contributions to civili- zation made by the Egyptians, the Balylonians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Western Europeans, and the peoples of the modern world. Its Wes are; (1) to develop an appreciation of ti. . tionship between the pas a ,id t1 • help the student understand a place in a complex world; (j) to create wi'..in the student a desire for a better knowledge of world affairs and an understanding of how they will af- fect our country in the scheme of future plans for world security. TWENTY TWO I1UH MOTTO: WOHK FIRST American History Mr. Townsend and Miss Ruth Hetrick Text—The American People by Hamm Required of juniors Preparation for good citizenship is the goal in the teaching of American history. Problems to be solved are stressed rather than facts to be learned. This course aims to give the pupil a clear idea of the chief events in the history of the American nation and to train him to use this his- torical knowledge to interpret present day condi- tions. It also aims to bring to his attention those factors in the industrial and social development of the United States which have brought about existing social, economic, and political problems. Problems of Democracy Mrs. Hill Text—Problems in American Life by Arnold Required of seniors The general purpose of this course is to ac- quaint the student with the problems confronting America—past, present, and future—so that he may conduct his affairs for the profit of himself and the group. The course aims specifically to de- velop in the student the power to think and to speak for himself, at the same time giving respect and consideration to the opinions of others. Finally, this course purposes to open ways for the student to select for himself some useful channel of future endeavor. Algebra I Mrs. Bosley and Mr. Townsend Text—First Course in Algebra by Lennes Required of most freshmen During the first semester students taking alge- bra I learn to perform the four fundamental opera- tions, to use signed and literal numbers, and to solve simple equations. In the second semester a study of special products and factors leads to problems in fractions and fractional equations. Prac- tical problems involving linear equations in one and two unknowns complete the course. Home and Job Mathematics Miss Reese Text—Home and Job Mathematics by Barto and Osborn Required of freshmen not taking algebra This course provides drill in fundamental opera- tions of arithmetic and business mathematics. It also includes practical application of mathematics in everyday living—earning, spending, and saving; insurance and taxes; budgets; thrift; money and banking; and public finance. It is mathematics for the masses rather than for the specialist. Plane Geometry Mr. Scott Text—Plane Geometry by McCormack Elective for sophomores Plane geometry is a course of academic na- ture. Since advanced mathematics and science courses are based upon it, it is essential for the purely academic student. It is built upon problems which require logical reasoning. The success of the student depends upon his ability to draw correct conclusions. Plane geometry has everyday applications to carpentry, bridge-build- ing. gardening, dress-making, china-painting, real estate, astronomy, radio, aviation, and baseball. Algebra II Mrs. Bosley Text—Second Course in Algebra by Lennes Elective for juniors and seniors This is a one-semester course reviewing the principles taught in algebra I and extending them to second degree equations. Greater pro- ficiency in the performance of algebraic opera- tions and practical applications of algebra are stressed. TWENTY THREE FDR THE SCIENTIFIC MIND Solid Geometry Mrs. Bosley Text—Solid Geometry by Welchons and Krickenberger Elective for juniors and seniors Solid geometry applies the facts learned in plane geometry to figures which do not necessarily lie in a single plane. Beginning with the study of planes in space and dihedral and polyhedral an- gles, the course emphasizes practical problems in prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres. The final units present spherical polygons and gen- eral polyhedrons. Trigonometry Mrs. Bosley Text—Plane and Spherical Trigonometry by Rider Elective for juniors and seniors Trigonometry is primarily concerned with the measurement of triangles, or, to be more specific, with the indirect measurement of line segments and angles. The course includes methods of approxi- mate computation, use of logarithms, radian meas- ure, graphical representation of functions, and ap- plication of spherical trigonometry. General Science Mr. Townsend Text—Everyday Problems in General Science by Beauchamp, Mayfield, and West Required of freshmen An individual's life is concerned largely with his reactions to his social and physical environment, hence a knowledge of science is necessary for a proper understanding of modern life. The ob- jectives of a general science course are: knowledge of man's increasing ability to control his whole en- vironment; definite understanding of the social problems that arise as the result of this increasing control; ability to find truth by direct observation of nature and by observation of the results of simple experiments. Biology Miss lames Text—Exploring Biology by Smith Required of sophomores This course attempts to familiarize the student with important aspects of his natural environment, conservation of natural resources, structure and functions of the system of his body, basic principles of heredity and evolution, and disease—cause, treat- ment, and prevention. Chemistry Miss James Text—New Practical Chemistry by Black and Conant Elective for junior and seniors In this course, the student becomes acquainted with a study of valance, symbol and formula writ- ing, chemical equations, and calculations. This in- formation serves as the foundation for studying the more common elements, their compounds, reactions, and uses. Chemical fundamentals, such as the study of electrons and irons and the Periodic Chart of the Atoms, are also emphasized. Physics Miss James Text—New Elementary Physics by Millikan, Gale, and Coyle Elective for juniors and seniors Included in this general course are units on measurements, air and water pressure, force and motion, work and mechanical energy, heat, light, magnetism, and electricity. Practical application of these units is stressed in each case. Pre-Flight Text—Elements of Pre-Flight Aeronau- tics for High Schools by Aviation Education Research Group The course in pre-flight aeronautics is intended primarily to give the air-minded student an oppor- tunity to become “air-conditioned. Included in the study are units in meterorology, plane design, en- gines, aircraft communications, air navigation, aero- nautics industries, and the commercial importance of the airplane. TWENTY TOUR HEADIN’ AND HITIN Latin I Miss Ruth Hetrick Text—Language, Literature, and Life by Scott and Horn Elective lor freshmen, sophomores, and juniors The first year Latin course introduces a langu- age which is studied for its cultural value, for the help it affords in understanding the fundamental structure of all Western European languages; for the help it affords in a better understanding of the English language so largely derived from it. and for a sympathetic contact with the life, history, and literature of the Roman people, masters of the Western and part of the Eastern World for a thousand years. Latin II Miss Ruth Hetrick Text—Latin Book Two by Scott, Sanford and Gummire Elective for sophomores, juniors, and seniors The Latin course in the second year aims to give the pupil increased power to read Latin, to broaden the pupils' knowledge of English; to con- tinue introducing the pupil to those aspects of Roman life and thought which have most profoundly influenced our civilisation. Spanish Miss Grace Hetrick Texts—Curso Practico de Espanol by Cherubini and Condon Elective for sophomores and juniors Due to our ever-increasing political and com- mercial relations with Spanish-speaking countries, Spanish is now an important foreign language for the average American; therefore, the course in Span- ish aims to give the students a speaking as well as a reading knowledge of the language. In Span- ish I a thorough drill on the essentials of the pro- nounciation, grammar, and idioms of the foreign tongue is given with supplementary reading. Use of the direct method is made as far as practicable. Spanish II Miss Grace Hetrick Texts—El Camino Real by Jarrett and McManus Fortune and Zaragueta by Carrion and Asa Elective for juniors and seniors In Spanish II a general review of the essen- tials of Spanish grammar is made, with particular attention to the irregular verbs. Advanced composi- tion and conversation are included with reading of modern prose and drama.

It prepares the stu- dent with knowledge for a vocational career as a bookkeeper or accountant. ____AND HITHMETIE TWENTY FIVE PREPARING FDR THE HUSINESS Typing I Miss Long Text—Gregg Typing by Sorelle, Foster, Smith, and Blanchard Elective for juniors and seniors Since the ability to typewrite is as important for the college-going student as it is for the com- mercial student, all students are given an oppor- tunity to take typing. At the end of the first year a speed requirement of 35 words per minute or better must be attained. Each student has a knowl- edge of all styles of business letters, manuscripts. telegraphic services, and most business forms and understands the fundamentals for centering, tabu- lating, and design. Typing II Miss Long Text—Gregg Typing by Sorelle, Foster, Smith, and Blanchard Elective for seniors Second year typing students must achieve a speed of 45-50 words per minute or better. They get complete practice drill that enables them to step into the business office as a clerk, secretary, stenog- rapher, or file clerk. Shorthand I Miss Long Text—Gregg Manual and Gregg Writer by Gregg Elective for juniors Shorthand is a skill subject, and therefore one must have certain qualities in order to master it: manual and mental dexterity, patience, industry, coordination, and memory. All of these are necessary, and the course makes every effort to develop them. At the end of the first year every student must have a net speed of 60-70 words per minute with 97 per cent accuracy and must be able to produce a good transcript. Shorthand II Miss Long Text—Gregg Speed Builder by Gregg Elective for seniors The speed requirement for second year work in shorthand is 80-9G words per minute with 97 per cent accuracy. The emphasis in second year work is on per- fection of transcripts. Most second year students pass the 100 word per minute test and some the 120 word per minute test. Office Practice Miss Long Elective for seniors The course in office practice is a recent addition to the curriculum. A comprehensive unit in filing covers numeric, geographic, subjective, and alphabetic filing. A unit on machine gives thorough training in the handling of the posting machine, adding machines, and the mimeo- graph. Next year it is planned to extend this unit to in- clude comptometers, the dictaphone and ediphone, and the gelatin duplicator. Commercial Geography Miss Reese Text—Economic Geography tor Secondary Schools by Colby and Foster Elective for juniors and seniors The main objective of this course is to help students to realize that geography is a study of re- lationships between natural environment and man's a:tivities. It develops an understanding of the world's producing and consuming areas; the rela- tionship of our community with other parts of the world; and the differences in populations and standards of living. Business Law Miss Reese Text—Introduction to Business Law by Robert, Goodman, and Moore Elective for juniors and seniors This course stresses the fundamental informa- tion which will enable students to deal fairly with individuals and organizations about them. The purpose is to give the students this information and to teach fundamental rules of conduct, so that he will not only have an understanding of what those rules are but will wish to observe them in order that best interests of all may be promoted. This study gives him the legal information which will aid him in conducting his daily affairs in proper and efficient manner. TWENTY SIX OF LIVING Home Economics Mrs. Schenkemeyer Required of 7th and 8th grade and freshman girls. Elective for sophomore, junior, and senior girls. The seventh grade class receives an introductory course in homemaking including the theory and prep- aration of a complete breakfast (with emphasis on the seven basic foods) as well as a beginners course in clothing construction. Eighth grade girls take a more advanced course in homemaking with particular stress on techniques and basic processes. The ninth grade course is a culmination of the preceding homemaking courses, including preparation of a complete dinner, desserts, hot breads, and deep fat cookery. In the second semester an advanced cloth- ing construction problem is required. In the elective course the importance of homemak- ing to each girl's future life is clearly defined. Stress is placed on advanced cookery and clothing construction, vocational guidance, child care, personal finance, consumer education, and nutrition. General Shop Mr. Wolf Required of 7th and 8th grade and freshman boys. Elective for sophomore, junior, and senior boys. General Shop is a course of general activities as the name implies. The seventh grade starts out with simple projects—wall plaques and shelves and simple tin work, such as sugar scoops. Through the grades achievement is made in proportion to the agressiveness of the student. The one who has foresight and ambition works ahead, while the others put in their time with little to show. End tables, night stands, nut and salad bowls, hammers, punches, rings, bracelets, and screw-drivers are some achievements of the ambitious. Mechanical Drawing Mr. Wolf Text—Mechanical Drawing by French and Svensen Elective for sophomore, junior and senior boys Mechanical drawing is the placing of someone's vision on paper so that thousands may see it as the inventor saw it first. Mechanical drawing is the language of industry. The course may be elected for one. two. or three years. The first year is a study of various methods of drawing, and is plan- ned to give the student who takes only one year a compre- hension of the subject in its entirety. The second year is an advanced course, covering more difficult problems and sheet metal developments. The third year course covers problems from industry, stressing the making of drawings as used every day in various plants and industries. TWENTY SEVEN Required of seventh and eighth grades The course of music in seventh and eighth grades consists of the study of modern musical in- struments; musical organization; present day musical artists of concert, radio, and screen fame; and the music of famous composers. This, of course, is in addition to the regular routine of ear training, music writing, part singing, practice in transposing, and understanding of musical terms. Pupils who have musical talent find expression and further their abil- ity by playing in the orchestra, band, or swing band, singing in the choruses, and performing for assem- bly and various programs during the year. Theory and Harmony Mrs. Blough Elective for sophomores, juniors, and seniors An electric course in theory and harmony is of- TALENT HUNT fored the pupils. This course covers a wider scope of musical study and prepares a pupil who wishes to study music analysis and composition. Ninth Year Art Miss Orms Required of freshmen The ninth grade boys' and girls' work in art classes can be arranged to correlate with other courses of study, and with present and future interests. The boys are confronted with ideas of both historical and modern design. The girls pursue projects along the domestic line, such as interior decoration, dress designing, and iabri. design. Special Art Miss Orms Elective for sophomores, juniors, and seniors The elective art class is to give aid to pupils who desire further instruction in the principles underlying this thing called art.'' The main objective is to show the correlation of all arts. Since most basic principles have been presented in previous years, the students need projects to stimulate a deeper understanding of these. For this stimulus the projects used are textile design, architectural renderings, carving, life drawing, modeling, still-life drawing, and landscape. Health Girls—Miss Ruth Hetrick Boys—Mr. Leaf and Mr. Scott Required of all students The health program today aims at more than mastery of facts. It is concerned with the improve- ment of human living. The goal of intelligent self-di- rection of health behavior by every person in our society is the ideal toward which to strive. Organiza- tion of the curriculum to develop acceptable health practices, scientific, and wholesome attitudes, and understanding of sound health principles constitutes the desirable program of health instruction in the schools. Physical Education Girls—Miss Ruth Hetrick Boys—Mr. Leaf and Mr. Scott Required of all students The modern physical education program aims to meet major problems of American life today by accomplishing the following objectives: 1. Building organic fitness for today and tomorrow through activities definitely selected to increase strength, vigor, and functional capacity. 2. Inculcating health habits for today and tomorrow, not so much by giving knowledge as by providing ways and means for wholesome living in practice. 3. Developing physical abilities and psychomotor controls, by providing a wide, rich program of activities that demand and increase the vocabulary of neuro-muscular skills. 4. Generating meaningful, vitalized recreational habits and interests that will carry over into adult hobbies and avocations. 5. Definitely educating for behavior conditioned by the principles of good sportsmanship, thus building toward char- acter and better citizenship.

GMCIOUS IN MANNER During sixth period on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, a large group of girls ranging from little green freshman to the dignified juniors and seniors, could be found in the Anditorium saying the Girl Reserve Pledge , singing “Follow the Gleam , listening to the latest business from the Young Women's Christian Association, and then being enter- tained by fellow Girl Reserves. A lot of talent within the group was brought to light during these meetings. Besides the St. Patrick's Day Dance , the “Sport Hop and various other parties, the Club shared in many activities of the Young Women’s Christian Association, an organization of which the Girl Reserves is a part. Among those activities some of our girls chose to work at the hospitals, others joined the Christmas Pageant, attended lectures, represented our Club at the World Fellowship Contribution, went swimming. Ushers were selected from the group on the basis of points earned under the Girl Reserve Merit System. OFFICERS President. Roberta Pollock Vice President, Doris Hamer Secretary, Betty NiNe Treasurer.

ORGANIZED TO SERVE With Time profitably spent as their aim, our Hi-Y Club became formally organized in the early part of December and immediately undertook its various projects. When the basketball season was inaugurated, the Club began the sale of refresh- ments at a stand in the school gym, thus padding its treasury for other activities. The most outstanding of all of the Club's doings throughout the year was that of presenting gifts to boys departing for the services. Quite a number of such tokens of appreciation were pre- sented. In connection with this, the Club kept an up-to-date service roll in the school foyer. One of the Club's important services to the school was continued this year. Hi-Y Basketball Team This service is a monetary contribution to the school's flower fund which finances the sending of flowers to victims of mis- fortune as a thoughtful gesture of sym- pathy. Conducting the Club through another successful season were the following offi- cers: Irvin Wicknick, president; Mike Par- levechio, vice president; Ray Cushman, secretary; and John Hindman, treasurer. THIRTY FOUR Ferndale High is the proud possessor of two fine choruses. Early in the term the Girls' Chorus was or- ganized. Each girl who desired to join went somewhat nervously up to the piano for her tryout. Upon re- ceiving the approval of our able music supervisor, Mrs. Blough, she became a member. The chorus con- sists of girls from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. They meet every Wednesday morning and can be heard practicing diligently, the altos striving to learn the tune and the sopranos bound and determined to reach ‘’that note. The Boys' Chorus, organized soon after the girls, meets every Friday morning in the music room. After hard work and much strain on the never-ending pa- tience of Mrs. Blough, the boys can really harmonize beautifully. Both choruses are a vital pillar in our music de- partment. They contributed largely to the success of the Spring Concert. From the Choruses have come some of our top entertainers on our weekly assembly programs. nUH WARBLERS GIRLS CHORUS: FIRST ROW (left to right ) — Strozar. E. Shaffer. McHugh. Bodnar. Heslop.

Comprising forty-three mem- bers, the group met for practice every Monday and Wednesday at eight o'clock. Each member contributed much to make the organ- ization outstanding. Many of the clever stunts and figures performed by the band were submitted by the members themselves. A great deal of time and thought was spent in drilling and executing these figures. The band played for many school assemblies throughout the year, and their gay numbers were enjoyed by all the students. Their splendid appearance as they marched proudly down the field displaying the gallant black and gold stirred every spectator at foot- ball games. Their snappy music gave much pep to football and basketball contests. Excellent renditions of bo’.h classical and popular numbers at the Spring Con- cert climaxed the year's work. For the band the social event of the year was their Halloween Dance in the school gymnasium. Money re- ceived from admissions and the sale of refreshments flowed into the band treasury. thirty six TOUCH OF GENIUS Symphonic harmony and a mastery of music may be considered the principal ambitions of the orchestra members. Rehearsing twice a week, they strive to im- prove their skill on their respective instruments. The attempts, successful and not so successful, of these talented students can be heard escaping the music room at almost any time of day. Under the leadership of Mrs. Blough the orches- tra has grown to be a fine organization, worthy of high praise. The effect of long hours of diligent prac- tice has been witnessed in assembly, between acts of the senior play, and at the Spring Concert. Their most outstanding performance was presented at the Spring Concert, for it was the climax to a year of faithful rehearsing. Unanimously, we agree that the orchestra has done a fine job, and we hope that it will continue to give us many more welcome moments of entertain- ment in the future.

Miss Long As soon as the Courier Staff was organ- ized last fall, the members decided to re- model the school paper. After obtaining adequate subscriptions to finance the pro- ject, the paper was printed instead of mim- eographed. Then the Staff proceeded to make changes in its contents. One of the outstanding changes was in the sports page. It was made into a human interest page instead of the usual page of game summaries. Another interesting feature was the addition of a Service Column, and with it came the idea of sending the paper to members of the armed services both at home and abroad. The columns had more variety than before—opinion polls, person- ality sketches, predictions, and comments on the new books in the library. Since the printed paper takes more effort to produce than a mimeographed one, the members re- organized the staff and elected the editorial board for next year. This means that new members next year will be typists and re- porters. WITH A M1SE mil NEWS THIRTY EIGHT REFLECTOR STAFF SEATED (left to right)—Sherbine. W .rren. P. Mlinarchik. Mayer. Eichler. B.

Not even the Reflector staff escaped the realities of war in planning the 1945 volume. Paper, film, and labor shortages were among the chief grievances. However, with the invaluable aid of Mrs. Bosley and Miss Orms and a generous amount of determin- ation, the staff overcame all adversity. Quite a few contributions were made by students not on the regular staff. Bobby Buck and Don Rose furnished a greater par! of the snapshots, and they did a remark- able job for the amateurs they claim to be. J. Cable, P. Brasher, P. Merritts, S. Mitchell, W. Kodrowsky, E. Mish, N. Koehler, W. Wicknick, H. Riddles, R. Pollock, and M. Johnston disclosed their writing abilities by contributing articles. Finally, after many weeks of work the Reflector began to materialize—that mass of pictures and typing began to resemble a book. With everything completed and the copy at the printers, the staff crossed their fingers and hoped that the Reflector would be printed before the end of the term.

Harry Hamilton George Maitland Fred Saintz SYNOPSIS OF SCENES Act One: A morning in summer Act Two: An afternoon three weeks later Act Three: Late afternoon of the next day The senior class exhibited its dramatic ability this year in presenting a popular English-American Farce “Tons of Money. The plot concerns an extravagant young husband, Aubrey Arlington, who has been giving his wife, Louise Arlington, everything credit can buy. When Aubrey inherits a small fortune from a long lost brother, the couple takes steps to evade their creditors. According to the terms of the will, the husband's cousin, George Mait- land, is to inherit the money when the hus- band dies. Aubrey fakes his own death in a planned explosion and appears as his cousin, only to find the latter was secret- ly married to Jean Everhard. Sprules, the butler, who has found a copy of the will, arranges for his brother, Henry, to appear as George Maitland. To complicate the sit- uation, both the cousin and his wife appear on the scene. In an attempt to untangle things, Aubrey is supposedly drowned and reappears as an old friend. Rev. Brown. At his wife's insistence, Aubrey then re- turns as himself in a dazed condition with the story that he lost his memory due to the explosion and has been wandering around ever since. When the total inheritance is realized, it is little more than five dollars, leaving a very much deflated Aubrey but an hilarious audience. Under the proficient and patient direction of Mr. Kuhs, the play was acclaimed a decided success. Although there is much work in prep- aration for presenting a play, we all had our fun. The seemingly endless hours of practice, learning how to talk and walk properly, and studying lines were brighten- ed by innumerable “snacks consisting of anything edible supplied by some unfor- tunate person. Our favorite quips in the play provided us with much merriment. FORTT MAJORETTES FIRST ROW 4 left to right) —|. Aveni. Simler.. Felton. Cousins Reynolds D. Hamer. D. Lebzelter. SECOND ROW —Henderson.

The addition of the gold F on each black sweater and the two new black and gold flags accentuated their already snappy ap- pearance. A stiff daily practice schedule was maintained throughout the fall; during the remainder of the year it was reduced to twice a week. Besides their many appear- ances with the band, the group, directed by Harry Hamilton, gave several much-ap- preciated performances in assembly. The Cheerleaders were an enthusiastic nucleus in building the traditional Ferndale spirit. The squad turned out regularly for all the football and basketball games. Although all the games were well sup- ported, the traditional knock-down, drag- out feudal affairs between the Alma Mater and Westmont carried the highest honors in excitement, cheering, and loyalty. The senior Cheerleaders proudly sported their letters this year, and the rest of the squad are looking forward to receiving theirs. CHEER LEADERS FIRST ROW i left to right)—Warren. Pmelli. M.

Before seven minutes of the first quarter were up, the Jackets had a touch- down under their belts, climaxing a drive of fifty-five yards. Early in the third quar- ter Marcinko raced through the Richland defensive screen to block a kick and re- cover the ball for Femdale on the one- foot stripe. From there Hemminger easily crashed the line for the second touchdown. The outstanding play of the game came when Wicknick intercepted a Richland pass and ran sixty yards to score unmolested after dodging two would-be tacklers at the scrimmage line. EBENSBURG SEPT. 14—Femdale and Ebensburg Highs smacked each other all over the Point Sta- dium premises but when the game ended they were right where they started—in a scoreless deadlock. While the foes were unable to supply the punch when the chips were down, they pulled every other trick out of the book and provided as many thrills as any high-scor- ing encounter. Pass interceptions were particularly damaging to Ebensburg's hopes as no less than six of their 17 tosses were hauled down by Femdale. On the ground the Red Devils had a little better luck, as they gained an 11-7 edge in first downs. Coach Larimer's visitors picked up 111 net yards, only seven more than the Jackets made. forty sat DFF Tn A GOOD START CONEMAUGH TOWNSHIP SEPT. 22—The Yellow Jackets spliced a pass and an end run to travel more than half the gridiron in the final quarter for a 6-0 victory over Conemaugh Township's Indians. After three quarters of battling across the midfield stripe, Ferndale took over the ball on the Conemaugh Township thirty- eight following a poor boot by the Indians. The Jackets were set back to their own forty-seven on the next play. Cable then dropped a pretty heave to Cushman who was hauled down on the Indians' eighteen and Parlevechio dashed unmolested into paydirt. Although racking up an impressive 13-5 margin in first downs, the Somerset County gridders were unable to drive past the Ferndale twenty. CATHOLIC HIGH SEPT. 29—After being kicked around for the first half, Ferndale staged a blistering fourth-quarter uprising to smack previously- undefeated Catholic High, 6-0. The Stingers, their backs to the wall through the greater portion of the first three quarters, scooped up a fumble on the Catholic seventeen in the last three minutes of play and quickly pushed over the game's only score. The Yellow Jackets gained 135 net yards on the ground, eighty-seven of which were made in the big last quarter, and four yards through the air. The Parochials made 98 yards on the ground and 54 on three good passes in nine attempts Ferndale in- tercepted three aerials and Catholic High one. FORTY SEVEN PORTAGE OCT. 5—The Yellow Jackets of Ferndale High stung Portage's inexperienced Bulldogs, 34-6. The Stingers scored two touchdowns in the first frame and picked up the other three in a big third-quarter rout. In between times Coach Scott used his entire squad. Ferndale scored on its lirst offensive of the evening, when Cable breezed around end for thiriy-five yards. Another first down followed on the four-yard line, and Hindman went over for the first of his two tallies. Rose's recovery of a Portage fumble set up the local s second score. Intercepted passes started Ferndale on the road to two of its three third-quarter touchdowns, with the other coming on a sixty- seven yard drive starting wi h the second half kickoff. With the Yellow Jackets subs in action in the last round, Portage was able to convert a fumble into a score. STILL UIIING FURWARH DUBOIS DUBOIS, OCT. 13—Unable to stave off a powerful fourth-quarter onslaught by DuBois High School, Ferndale's Yellow Jackets toppled from the unbeaten ranks, 21-7, in a hard-fought battle. The Stingers drew first blood with a 75-yard touchdown flight in the opening period. DuBois High's Beavers came back to deadlock the score in the second stanza with a 79-yard drive into paydirt, then went into the van in the closing heat on a 93-yard tour and an intercepted pass. The Stingers threatened seriously at the start of the third chapter with the splurge ending abruptly on the Beaver seven when Poehner's oass was intercepted. DuBois held a slight 11-10 margin in first downs. Putting Their Heads Together FORTY EIGHT Getting in Shape Giving Pointers CONEMAUGH OCT. 19—Conemaugh High's Iron Horses ram- med over two quick second-period touchdowns and then staved off two blistering Ferndale threats in the second half to trample the Yellow Jackets, 13-0. The Sleeds were donated their first touch- down when a bit of Ferndale strategy went hay- wire, and a few minutes later opened up with a 66-yard offensive which was culminated by a fourth-down pass caught right on the goal line. After the Iron Horses scored their first six-pointer. Cable took the ensuing kickoff and, hitting for the sidelines, galloped 55 yards before being nailed on the Red and Blue 34. By losing the ball on downs, the Jackets blew their first real scoring chance after lugging the second half kickoff to a first down on the Conemaugh 11. OCT. 26—A sluggish Ferndale High team de- feated South Fork's green but spirited Falcons, 27-0. The Jackets, rated an odds-on choice to win by any score they pleased, fumbled and stumbled their way through the entire first half without scoring. They managed to squeeze out a third-period touch- down, when Dick Cable broke loose for 41 yards, and then suddenly started clicking. They shoved over three rapid-fire counters in the last frame for their fifth victory of the season. Coach Lee's visitors surprised even their most ardent followers by taking the play away from the locals in the early going and missed out on two touchdowns by a fumble and a penalty. During the first half they racked up six first downs while allow- ing only two to the Stingers, but they slumped badly in the last two frames when they could not add to their total while yielding five. Ready to Go SOUTH FORK GRAND CLIMAX WESTMONT NOV. 3—For 25 minutes Ferndale and Westmont whaled the daylights out of each other without getting any place in particu- lar and then the Jackets, suddenly ignited, blew the Hilltoppers right off the gridiron with two spectacular touchdowns, register- ing a 13-0 triumph. The Stingers came roar- ing back from the standstill first half to take over complete charge and dictate terms in the second half. They passed up two scoring opportunities in the third quarter, missing first downs by less than six inches each, and then used a blocked punt early in the final session to get rolling. With Dick Cable doing yeoman service, the Jackets reeled off two first downs to reach the 19-yard line. Two plays later he heaved a pass which Cushman took in the end zone while still on the run. The second touchdown was even more spectacular. Bill Heilman, Westmont's workhorse, had just gotten off a punt which rolled out of bounds on his own 44. On the following play Cable slipped through left tackle for seven yards and then heaved a lateral to Gehlman, who went down the sidelines for the remaining 37 yards. After getting rid of the ball. Cable charged down the field to rub out the saf- ety man with a pretty block and give Gehl- man a clear path. Cable passed to Zack for the extra point. The Stingers gained 211 net yards by rushing and 31 more by passing, while the Red and Gray gridders made 129 on the ground and showed a net loss of one yard in completing two of eight passes. The Stingers, making good on two of five aerials, also intercepted two. The winners made 12 first downs against eight.

Nine led the scoring with 10 points, while Kuyat of Ferndale and Keelan of Southmont held the runner- up position with 8 points each. The next victim of the Flashy Ferndale combination was the South Fork squad. The gallant Falcons, although fighting till the last minute, went down 29-24.

Y1I1ITIII ACHIEVED The school term of 1944-45 is a milestone in the history of the Ferndale F Club for two reasons. For the first time in its history, the club has a new adviser: the new foot- ball coach, Mr. William Scott. He did his job very well and was assisted greatly by the new basketball coach, Mr. Edward Leaf. In the second place the club has a greater membership than it has ever had before. From an enrollment of fourteen boys at the beginning of the term the member- ship increased to thirty boys at the end of the year. Of this total eighteen boys earned varsity letters, while twelve earned five hun- dred point service awards. With such a jump in membership natu- rally there was much talent for the initia- tions. In the fall twelve “victims were ad- mitted to the club after undergoing the or- deal, and in the spring four more entered the club. There was a lot of fun at these initiations and the boys all enjoyed them. Thirteen boys from the club will not be back next year. Eleven are seniors and two are going to enter the service this summer. The purpose of the club is to encourage fair play and clean sportsmanship in daily living. Its members have gained important personal victories in addition to winning honors for Ferndale High School. OFFICERS President IRVIN WICKNICK Vice President RICHARD CABLE Secretary ..

But in due time, with the help of Mr. Keller, who straightened out detention troubles and answered their endless questions, the faculty, whose advice aided them greatly in becoming adjusted to the new curriculum, and the upper classmen, who occa- sionally “pushed them into the right room, they were in full swing with everyone else. The shyness of this group soon died away, and they were found actively participating in social activities, cheer- ing at games, coming out for dances, and giving their whole-hearted cooperation to assembly programs and stu- dent council projects. Besides being well represented socially, the seventh and eighth grades were able to hold their own mentally by presenting a sizable list for the honor roll at the end of each grading period. It is to these promising students that we look for successful student activities and scholar- ship in the future. SIXTY FOUR FIRST APPEARANCE One of the most memorable phrases of high school ex- perience is the Freshman year. There are moments of doubt and hopelessness, but before long eagerness to learn over- comes these. After several weeks of perplexing confusion, even the greenest Freshie knows the general science room is 33, the civics room is 26, and can name a few of his classmen. Willing to aid in any way. Freshmen supplied valuable reinforcements for the band, choruses, Girl Reserves, and all athletic teams. Class officers and Student Council representa- tives were chosen with special pride.

They had new quarters—Rooms 26, 27, and 37, where they were supervised by Mr. Kuhs. Mrs. Hill, and Miss Reese. Having taken inventory last year of what Femdale High of- fers in various fields of activity, they lost no time in assum- ing places of importance in every school organzation. A full quota of recruits were found among the majorettes and ushers, in the band, glee clubs, Girl Reserves, and Hi-Y, and on foot- ball, basketball, and inter-class teams. Six of their members were sent to the student council, and one was honored by election to the office of secretary. They gave hearty support to the Reflector by their enthusiastic sale of wax paper. Nor did scholarship suffer. Besides the required subjects, English, world history, and biology, they applied themselves with earnestness to the electives of their choice, languages, mathe- matics, arts. The percentage of their members regularly at- taining the honor roll was higher than that of any other class. With so sturdy a foundation, this class should render much fine service to the school in their remaining two years. Jack Hassenplug. President . . . Harry Repp. Vice President Robert Poehner.

Although faced with such stickers as physics, shorthand, and languages, they managed to take part in many extracurricular activities, and by no means were they off the six-weeks' honor rolls. In the field of sports they produced much valu- able material, both inter-scholastic and intra-mural. Their representatives made great efforts in the Student Council, and membership lists of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y carried a substantial number of funiors. Weekly assemblies uncovered much Junior :alent. Their own class interests took them into a whirling magazine sales campaign which de- cidedly topped previous records. Then came ring selecting time, and they decided to be entirely different. Finally plans had to be made to spond their earnings in the top event of the year, the prom.
