As each succeeding year brought. its innovations, Latrobe be- came better prepared to help each individual develop his capacities through physical, mental, and recreation- al instruction. Aiming to provide the student with the greatest number of advantages, the high school from the very first has attempted to secure proper study equipment. When the school occupied what is now the Second Ward building, the daily program consisted of study in four crowded rooms and recreation on the grassy lawn. With the building of t.he First Ward School in 1909, physical development took a long step ahead, for the individual now could study in up-to-date class rooms containing proper facilities for lighting and ventil- at.ion. In September, 1913, the student plunged into his work in the present building on Ligonier Street. which now offered him an auditorium and gymnasium. The most recent addition to the high school brought the climax in physical development. New shops, new laboratories with their queer-looking bottles and ap- paratus, the home economics cottage as well as the Superintendent John G. Hulton discusses the latest report of the school board with Principal Mark N.

To develop the student's mental ability, the school first otl'-ered only two courses: Classical and Scientific. Added later, the Commercial course aimed to prepare pupils for a business life, while the General coursc helped mold talents in many fields. At present, along with the Commercial and General courses, the individ- ual may take advantage of the College Preparatory course if he wishes to continue his education, the In- dustrial course if he intends to find a job in the fields of wood-work, machinery, or electricity, or the Agri- cultural course if he takes an interest in farming. For girls who enjoy domestic science, the Home Economics course includes training in cooking, sewing, and all the household arts. Along with the regular schedule, a vast program of extra-curricular activities encourages the special talents of the pupil. In 1897 the formation of the first football squad marked the initiation of an athletic program which has since grown to include basketball, track, golf, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, fencing and mushball. The future executive found the opportun- ity to use his talents in the organization of the Student Council, while the aspiring journalist was able to utilize his ability for writing with the publication of the iirst 5 l In 1883, four rooms on the top floor of what is now the Second Ward building, housed I.atrobe's first high school classes.

Dramatic productions also add their share to school activities now, along with public speaking contests which in- crease the student's power of fluent expression.

After almost half a century of constant progress, Latrobe High School, although typifying all the ad- vancements of modern education, still upholds the aim of the school of 50 years ago: to aid the individual in developing his ability and his personality through a Well-rounded program of study, physical training, and recreation. The eager freshman, entering school in coming Septembers can look forward to finding a high school, fully equipped to train him and ever ready to accept the newest methods and ideas in the field of education, i IDEALS These Are Purpose CREATORS High in a lonely studio a sculptor molds from his clay and mortar a life- less figure, destined to serve no other purpose than to ornament a bare corner. Fame bears this artist up in her arms, but sculptors of human characters go un- sung, except in the hearts of their crea- t.ions. Each year a new group of fresh- men pours into the school, replenishing the supply of raw material. With com- plete assurance and a broad background of experience, the faculty begins to shape each individual into a character-a trib- ute to humanity. Stressing the fact that one thinks on the basis of what he knows, Mr. Beatty broadens the student's background by discussing the problems of the home and other institutions. Through notebook 10 ui People work he develops in the student the habit of exactness and thoroughness. Intently students listen to Mr. Hoerr as he con- trasts the Greek city states and Imperial Persia. In answer to a question about the Persian war he traces the route of the battle of Salamis and shows the sig- nificance of the Greek victory. The study of world history sheds a new light on the Europe and Asia of today. For a better understanding of recent events, Mr. Rise unfolds the story of American development. Having completed a dis- cussion of element two, he emphasizes the effects of the Dred Scott decision upon the Civil War and consequently, up- on the modern United States. Sliding into his football clothes, the grid candidate listens to Mr. Wild, bet- he old oaken buck- takes all the atten- as Mr. Stllmballgh Norma Green pre- for an experiment. ter known as Coach, as he finishes a discussion on the value of teamwork. With a whoop he grabs his headgear and hurries out to the gridiron where Mr. Rizzo, the coach's assistant, shows him how to prevent a charging linesman from breaking through. On another sec- tion cf the field Coach runs the backs through their paces. Here develops not only a good athlete but also a good sportsman. Physical education and health classes conducted by Miss Donnelly With the aid of Hel'- and Mr. Snyder cite the important char- acteristics of leadership and resource- lulness. Standing beside the parallel Dll1'S, lvlr. Snyder carefully helps a be- glnner master the technique of a for- ward roll. Later he shows a gymnast- how to perform a side vault on the horse. lll the girls' gym classes Miss Donnelly lllllSY.l'2it6S the fine points of correct pos- turc. After exercising, the girls play an ilL'LlVC game of basketball, enjoying a perloll or fun and relaxation. AS wlde-eyed freshman watch a con- tainers sldes cave in and twist out of shape, Miss Netzlot explains that the Clltlllllg Ol boiled water inside has created a vacuum. Seeing an expression of amazement on a students face, she re- peats her explanation so he too may un- derstand. The chemistry student takes his place at the laboratory desk to per- rorm an experiment. Here he develops the habits of carefulness and correct procedure through Mr. Wiegman's help- lul assistance. Emphasizing the import- ance of good health, Miss Daniels dis- cusses a unit concerning the relation of bacteria and contagious di s e a s e s. Through the use of a microscope she helps students to distinguish between the various forms of these minute one-celled plants. Meanwhile, Mr. Stumbaugh unfolds the mysteries of science to a group of freshmen. Perched on the edge of their chairs, they watch a dra- matic demonstration of the properties fof oxygen that holds their attention until the final bell. Senior science students puzzle over knotty physics problems until Mr. Rummel approaches them in his round of the classroom. He points out an error in calculation here-- Joanne Metz decides mina Pol-embka, Miss Eyes pop and mouths that Miss Netzlof must Daniels straightens books open while Mr. Wiegman have hydrogen in the bot- in the library shelves. performs an experiment. tle.

When Mr. Gaudino has finished cor- recting a student's bookkeeping entries, he shows him how to journalize and post them correctly. So tnat each may understand t.he problems clearly, he ex- plains new phases OI bookkeeping pro- cedure through illustrations on the blackboard. Time and again Miss Gar- low bends over to correct the position of a typing students hand. Uonstant attention to details enables each to de- velop in speed and accuracy, while or- iginal contests bring a variety to the classroom that spurs on the most back- ward typist. Faster and faster come the words as Miss Quick speeds up dictation to her shorthand class as the year ad- vances. From the group come accurate, rapid stenographers ready to whirl through the longest session of dictation. Mr. Stover adds the finishing touches to the office worker of t.omorrow. Post-1 ing machines rumble, duplicators whirr, and typewriters rattle as seniors de- velop speed and accuracy in the opera- tion of the mechanical equipment to be found in the modern office. While one student acts as clerk and another as the customer, Mr. McDougall stands be- side the cash register pointing out the errors in approach and procedure, so that each may have the opportunity to develop his personality and test his fit- ness for a position in the world of com- merce. Miss Shallenberger's critical eve discovers poorly shaped letter in a writ- ing exercise and back goes the student to practice until his letter forma- tion is neat and legible. In spelling he must be just as careful t.o eradicate his demon to secure her approval. Abstract problems in geometry bring furrows to the brows of upper classmen until Miss Whiting stops the discussion to explain the troublesome question. Here the student learns not only the principles and properties of plane fig- ures but the art of sound reasoning as well. In his earlier experiences with the mysteries of mathematics in Miss Hamilton's classes, he also learned to l Busy Ai Their Daily Work Shaping Character Ancl Mind . , ' 1..J ff- , ...ff , f 1 solve problems and in doing so found Lnrougn her guidance that understand- ing is the Key to solve any question. lvlr. Mingrose and Miss Himler pass on to the student a taste for fine music and beautiful artwork. Marching down the lleld, playing with the orchestra, sing- ing in a chorus assembly program, each young musician enjoys the thrill oi knowing he can do something well. Long experience as an artist. has given Miss riimler the ability to show her students the world through a painter's eye, and to teach them to interpret for others what they see. ln the English department the student develops fuller expression in both the written and the spoken word. Sound constructive arguments and spirited re- buttals take form under Mr. Dovey's direction after weeks of study. Debat- ing fosters the development of logical reasoning and rapid thinking. Extempo- raneous speakers mill around the Con- sumer Educationn shelf in the library when Miss Osborne announces the Ki- wanis contest. Mike fright and ter- ror of the audience fade away, as the speakers follow the thoughtful sugges- tions of their adviser in the preparation and delivery of their discussions. Miss Laiferty graciously lends her time to give aspiring dramatists and public speakers an opportunity for actual experience. Striking characterization and polished oratory appear before the audience, but behind the scenes work stagehands and committeemen under t-h,e same competent direction. Seeking to develop individual thought through orig- inal writing, Mr. Benford encourages perfection in the use of English and the formation of clear, concise sentences. The print.ed page becomes a laboratory for his journalists as he works with them to produce a school publication. The freshman turns to his classics with not a little foreboding until Miss McBride's accurate interpretations help him find subtler meaning in the lines. Between units of classic literature, Miss Mertz weeds out all the gramatical errors among her students.

The cl ar odor of freshly cut wood serves as an inspiration to the boys in Mr. B rt's pleasant shop. Guided by their instructors profitable suggestions, the urn out hundreds of products to use at home and at school. His materials spread out before him, the mechanical rawing student produces a marvel of neatness and accuracy.

Whether he becomes a qualified electricia simply a man about the house, the boy in the electric shop will profi y his course for Mr. Schulte systematically arranges his class periods to n ude time for re pairing common home appliances.

Calmly typing, filing, answering the telephone, writing late admission slips, Miss Ruth Himler makes an indispensible secretary for Mr. Funk. Her helpful ad- vice has directed many bewildered freshmen to their elusive classrooms Miss Harman, as secretary to Mr. Hulton, regulates the supply of books fo' all of the public schools in Latrobe. In addition she writes the minutes f the Board of Education meetings and records the money received fr m school activities.

With determination the senior reaffirms his promise to do his best in work and play. He realizes that he has but one year to take part in school activities. So, with renewed vigor, he digs in. The Homecoming Day parade under the chairmanship of Alvin Hile gives the senior his last chance to help to produce a prize-winning fioat. While his room does not place first with its wash machine, mops, brooms-it was original. At the first major social event of the year, the Hallowe'en Frolic, the senior arrayed in a huge sheet, purloined from mother's linen closet, tries valiantly to maintain his dignity as he trips the light fantastic to the music of the Com- manders, chosen by a Student Council committee headed by Dick Wilt and Suzanne St.. Clair. Being a member of the costume committee for the all-class play is no joke for him, as he wonders where in this world of airplanes and radio, he can find a suit of armor for John Boerio. While the members of the Seven Sisters cast practice making their en- trances and memorizing their parts under the eye of Mary McElroy, student director, the senior rummages through a thick dust.y volume of Literature of the 19th Century. He gives a satisfied sigh as he finds that the cartoon depicting an African cannibal, arms outstretched to his family assembled near the door of a grass hut, really stands for Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native. Although Margaret Petrosky won the prize, a copy of 'fBartlett's Quotations, the senior does find out that The Way of All Flesh, is not an advertisement for Welch's Grape Juice. With the assistance of Miss Breeton, the senior on the Christmas tree com- mittee takes advantage of his last mpportunity to spread the holiday spirit in Latrobe High School. While his classmates decorate their home rooms with holly and some contraband mistletoe, he perches on a step ladder and languidly begins hanging the icicles until the chairman, Joseph Luttner, says quietly, By Easter you might have that branch completed. Not to be outdone, the public speaking classes present Christmas Eve at Midnight. The senior looks on approvingly, with not a little amusement, as Nicholas Rakotis and Beatrice Lamb- ing play the long-suffering parents of John Crapp, their collegiate son. As a member of the band, the senior makes the annual Christmas Eve tour of Latrobe, bringing comfort to many shut-ins through his playing of the old Christmas hymns and carols. The salesmanship student while clerking at Lowenstein's gains his first actual sales experience, and also writes advertising copy for the store's January sale. Helen Brookbank, William Conrad, Joseph Gray, and Elizabeth Ravis work on the second floorg while Betty Browm, Rose Kaczuk, Margaret Petrosky, Mary Louise Schisler, Donald Sproch, and Richard Wilt act as clerks on the main floor. The embryo salesman does not sell out the store, but as Mary Louise Schisler put it, The weather kept the customers at home. As oratorical contestants plead their causes, the senior listens to the horrors of war as described by Eleanor Edwards, My Country 'Tis of Thee, as extolled by the winner, Mary McElroyg the problem of child delinquency as presented by Edith Caheng and Margaret Petrosky's discussion of United States-Guardian of Democracy. Walking in slow evenly paced steps across the fioor of room 13, the senior contestant in the extemporaneous preliminaries mumbles in his own inimitable style, Consumer education means--means-oh, I'm scared. Later. before the microphone, with all eyes upon him, his courage rises, and he comes through with colors flying high. Soft music by Gene Poorman and his orchestra, huge red heartmen made by the shop boys, and a Course in True Love, make it a big night at the Belated Heartbeat. In rooms 104 and 105 the interscholastic debates offer a four o'clock diversion from school work to classmates of the senior debaters-Margaret Petrosky, Rose Kaczuk, June Rice, Eleanor Edwards, and Mary McElroy. The senior listens critically to the arguments of the visiting team-then, with even greater interest, approves the rebuttal of his classmates. Under the chairman- ship of Eleanor Edwards, the senior, as a member of the Class Night Committee chooses an appropriate theme around which he helps construct a playlet for re- viewing the year's happenings and personalities. And so comes the day in June, t.he saddest and happiest of times, when he awaits the highest point of his school career-commencement. As he receives this reward, it represents to him four years of achievement made possible by long evenings of study mixed with enjoyment and lasting friendships. 33' C SS HI RY OFFICERS JOSEPH LUTTNER President RICHARD WEPPELMAN Vice President JOHN MOBIERG Secretary LEO MAH ER Treasurer ROSE KACZUK Student Councii MISS FLORENCE BREETON Adviser Moving into the ranks of the upperclassmen, the junior finds more opportun- ities for advancement in the classroom as well as in extra-curricular activities.

Filled with expectancy, the sophomore awaits his introduction into the upper class group of the high school. No longer can he be called green, or timid, for he knows the teachers and he scorns the handbook because he is no longer afraid that he Wiil be lost in the rush to change classes. As with the freshman, he too must select officers .Q lead his class under the direction of his adviser, Miss Elsie Gzirlovv. Through the ballots cast durinaf one of the lirst home room periods he selects Dorothy Ondriezek as president with Edith Showalter to assist her. He names William Hankins to fill the position oi' secretary and Katherine Anderson, treasurer: while his choice for Student Council representative is Jack Monroe.

Other freshmen attain additional honor in the music department, while Jack Hugus becomes drum major of the band. Though sllll envious of the upperclassman's priv- ileges, the freshman is no longer timid, for his reserve has melted away under the many assignments he has succeeded in completing. With the approach of forensic activities, 23 freshmen prepare to enter the extempor- aneous contest. From the preliminaries Charles Thompson and John Hugus emerge victorious to com- pete in the finals of March 31. The freshman, anxious to see which of his classmates will win the class prize of five dollars, hears Charles Thompson present the prize winning discussion of Consumer Education. Declamations, poetry and Shakespearean read- ing also lay claim to the freshman's interest as his classmates represent their group in the declamation contest. These include Miriam Frankel, June Stew- 1 art, Anna French, Janet Levay, and Loretta Maher. Others in this group are Anna Nindle, Jane Sabota, Helen Hunter, John Hugus, and Clifton Mclntire. Poetry and Shakespeare may be a thorn in the flesh of the upperclassman, but to the freshman this is a chance to show his speaking ability, with twelve en- rolling in these reading contests. Lillian Frichtel, Jane Sabota, Helen Hunter, Helen Roble, Nancy Win- klosky, and Zella Roble compete, as well as Mary Doh-- erty, Irene Kowalski, Janet Levay, Clara Wigfield, Jane Mickey, and Yolanda Dellavechio. At last comes moving up day and with it the real- ization that he is now a sophomore. Again he looks into his handbook, not to find his way to gym class, but to look back over his short year as a freshman, to remember his accomplishments, and to visualize future honors for his class. v Thomas, Zepko, Taylor, M.

FOOTBALL SEASON Before leaving for the practice field, the coaching staff, Nlr. Snyder, Nlr. Rizzo, and Mr. Wild, smile over the previous week's victory. August 15 Coach R. V. Wild issued his first call for football candidates. The following day Harold Erny, senior manager, distributed equipment to 55 boys who responded to the announcement.. Coach Wild assigned his chief mate, assist- ant coach Michael Rizzo, to the task of developing the less experienced boys while he set to work preparing his crew of more advanced players for an eight game schedule. So it was that two weeks before the opening of school, the 1939 edition began taking shape. With ive home games and three invasions ahead of them, the candidates spent a week on limbering up exercises before they began digesting the fundamentals which would prepare them for actual battle. On a sunny September afternoon, the Wildcats launched the season in a home engagement with Bell Township. Early in the first period, after long advances by Giobbi and Ballantyne, Captain Markovich chalked up the first score with a 16 yard plunge through the Salina eleven. This same ball toting combination car- ried the oval to the one yard line where Giobbi plunged across before the first period ended. Keim continued the local scoring with a 60 yard run early in the second period and Nevin Massena, a freshman, made his first scholastic score by way of a conversion. Before the half ended Coach Wild had used three different teams. Shortly after the opening of the second half, Marky added another six points with a four yard smash through Bell Township's left tackle. The Orange continued its onslaught by scoring on a pass from Marky to Massena followed by a Z2 yard run. Massena's kick netted the extra point. Midway in the final period, Massena intercepted a pass and dashed 26 yards for Latrobe's final score. The game ended 38-0. An experienced Hurst team provided the local's first crucial test of the season, and by capitalizing on a Latrobe fumble on the Orange seven yard line won a nip and tuck encounter 7-0. The decisive slip came in the first quarter when Marky dropped a punt in the shadows of the Wildcat's goal. Gorinski scored on a smash- ing drive through his own right tackle and Smith capped the Hurst count wit.h a placement. Markovich's nine yard return of the following kickoff and Keim's 34 yard spurt around right end placed the Wildcats in scoring territory, but an intercepted pass on the 20 yard line destroyed the chances for a touchdown. Be- fore the half ended Stranko blocked a punt to recover the ball on the visit0r's 20, but again penalties and a fumble played havoc with Latrobe's scoring chances. The Hurricane threatened twice in the thiid period but a fighting front wall held the advances for downs. In the final period Massena and Gondos, using an aerial attack, took the pigskin to Hurst's 19 as the game ended. The Wildmen met Connellsville the following week in a Home Coming Day attraction. A pass in the third period netted the local eleven its six point score which has vanquished the Fayette County team for three successive years. The Cokers got off to a start which found. them hovering in the shadows of the goal in the opening period. A score looked inevitable until Carota broke through the line and tabbed Pless for an eight yard loss. Latrobe took the oval on downs but a poor punt followed by a pass from Boyd to Percy placed the ball on the Orange six and again in scoring position. Latrobe's line proved its real worth by again staving off the Cokers for downs. A seemingly different team lined up after thc intermission period for a lighting eleven took the ball on their own 45 and 44 D I- 7 l marched to the Cokers' 24 in eight successive plays. A pass from Giobbi to Keim netted the only score of the gamc since Massena's placement fell incomplete. Latrobe again in the final stanza forced Connellsville to retreat after it reached the ten yard strip. The fray ended with the local team threatening from the ten. Leaving the home gridiron for the first invasion of the season, the Orange and Black encountered its second AA opponent at Vandergrift on a dusty field. The Vans, bv way of a 35 yard heave from Zowoclii to Musial accounted for their touchdown in the Iirsl frame. Musial, on an unexpected line plunge tallied the deciding point. of the game. Again the Wildcat combination failed to click until the second half. In the final quarter, with the ball resting on Latrobeis own 43, Massena heaved a 54 yard pass from 20 yards behind the scrimmage line. Keim scampered 26 yards along the sidelines to ring up the only Orange counter. Shortly afterward, the Vans punted out of bounds on the local 48. Realizing the short time left, the Wildcats resorted to an aerial attack. Massena heaved a pass to Roth who ad- vanced to the 20. Giobbi was smothered for a six yard loss, but Massena tossed another pass to Markovich on the one foot line. Scoring hopes were shattei- ed when the game ended simul- taneously with Marky's grasp- ing the pigskin from the air. it 1 On October 15, the Orange eleven accompanied oy the band and a few faithful followers boarded the train for Altoona. It was a spirited team which in- vaded the Lion's lair that afternoon, for after a hard scrap the entire distance it chalked up a 7-6 victory, The Lions opened the contest in regular fashion by stopping the Latrobers in their first offensive attempt and piling up four successive first downs to place the ball on the Orange 15. The Wildcats held the Moun- tain boys for downs, but Georgiana resumed the drive by adding 10 yards to Massena's punt to the 38. In five relentless power plays through the line, Altoona marked up its only score just as the quarter ended. ln the next period, Latrobe opened its offensive attack and a gain by Giobbi plus a 42 yard advance on three passes from Massena to Marky put the oval on Altoonafs 22. The threat ended when Altoona inter- cepted Massena's heave on the 15. Ballantyne, Keim, Markovich, and Giobbi together placed the pigskin in scoring territory, but again the Lions clawed all chances by intercepting Marky's aerial on the 10 as the half ended. Keim began the third period attack by intercepting a pass on Altoona's 22 and scrambling 43 yards before Georgianna forced him out of bounds. Marky, act.- ing as main ground gainer, marched to the one yard line but there the Lions halted his advance.

From that point Giobbi blasted his way to a score through his right guard to which Massena added the winning point. Thus went the game which excels Latrobe High School's athletic contests. After a two week vacation from the local turf, the Wildcats returned to meet Greensburg's Brown Raiders before a crowd of approximately 4,000 spec- tators. After taking a Latrobe fumble on the Orange's 27, the Brown and White capitalized upon the break by hammering their way to the 17 from where De- moise on a fake pass charged across the goal. Late in the second period, Giobbi scrambled 57 yards to the Greensburg eight after snatching a Raider pass. Short passes failed to function and the half ended 6-0. It took only five plays in the opening of the third period to place Latrobe on the Greensburg 17. Giobbi, who did most of the ball handling that trip, crashed through his left tackle to score. Once again in the same quarter, the locals marched to the Raider 20 before giving up the ball. The County Seat eleven then started a drive which took them the entire 80 yards for another score. Fumbles forced the Wild- cats to play a defensive game the rest of the journey and the fray ended 13-6.

Shortly after the open- ing kickoff, Bryson caught Herald, Wilkinsburg half, behind his goal to register two points for the locals. The next Latrobe count came a few minutes later after Giobbi, on ten straight power plays, added a touch-- down and an extra point to the safety. In the second period a blocked punt on the Latrobe 33 rolled back to the five from where the Red and Blue scored after three line smashes. A fluke fumble in the third frame which shot into the air from Giobbi's arms paved the way for the final score. The game was truly a Holy City fumbling exhibition for during the fray they dropped the pigskin on ten occasions compared to two for the Orange. An estimated crowd of 5,000 spectators jammed the local Held for the eighth annual renewal of the Latrobe-Derry Township rivalry to witness a spectacle which climaxed in a 0-0 deadlock. The local gridders opened scoring threats with a 72 yard march which ended five yards from the payoff stripe where Clayton intercepted an aerial. The Latrobers make a quick re- turn thieat to the nine following Johnson's kick out of danger, but Giobbi's fumble thwarted scoring chances. Township reserved its threats for the second half when early in the third period, Clayton, chief ground gainer, carried the ball deep into scoring terri- tory, but Bryson brightened the Wildcat's situation by taking a pass and advancing to Townships 30.

A slow Derry start netted the Orange a nine point lead, but a six point rally brought the Blue and White back into the running. Conrad and Cologrande took the scoring spotlight and helped record a Latrobe victory. The Wildcats continued their winning pace to take Derry Township 13 to 10 in a low scoring fray. Although the Wildmen trailed 5-4 at the half, Conrad and Thayer returned to spark the quintet to a win. The Latrobe nve then invaded foreign hardwood to meet a scrapping Derry quintet. Set back by steps and under-par ball handling, the Latrobers watched the Blue march ahead 10 to 8 in the first 16 minutes of play, but a 13 point rally in the third frame reg- istered a 23-19 victory for the Orange. During the Christmas holidays, the Wildmen met a high geared Alumni team and after the fastest and highest scoring game of the season defeated the graduates 37 to 36. Opening their league schedule, the Latrobe five fell under a fourth quarter spurt. of the Flood City sectional favorites, 27 to 16. Although McGuire and Giobbi recorded the only field markers, it was only in the last period that the Johnnies held more than a three point margin. The Orange took a league Vaca- tion and traveled to Kiski. A delayed scoring start hindered the Latrobers and at intermission they trailed by 10 points, but a rally in the final frame had the Wildcats striving hard to cut down a 32-18 count. The Orange basketeers returned to league competition by visiting Greensburg's Raiders for a game studded with excitement. Although a scoring slump slowed them down, Latrobe threw up a tight defense to ward off the title defenders. When Cologrande's shot in the final seconds suffered cancellation for steps, the Raid- ers took a 17-16 fray. . Establishing an early lead, an invading Jeannette team set back the Orange 33 to 21. Cologrande and Pagnanelli kept Latrobe in the running but lacking sufficient support were unable to overcome the Red and Blue's early eight point lead. The Scotties visited the local gym and after a close battle took a 31 to 25 win. Giobbi hit his stride to register 11 counters while Ballantyne dropped in eight, but the other play- QM 'LJ7 ' ARTHUR COLOGRANDE . . . steadied the team as keystone of down- floor passing attacks. ers' scoring faltered, and Scottdale came from behind after the half to score a victory. The Orange left the home court to meet Connellsville in a high scoring game in which they almost fumbled an early lead but finished ahead of a 32-30 count to chalk up their first. league win. Ballantyne set the scoring pace with ten tallies. The Wildmen finished first round activities against Norwin in a game which netted the Blue and Gold a 45 to 29 vict.ory. Although a fighting Orange quintet outscored the visitors 21-19 in the second half, a 26-8 lead at half time proved too much to overcome. Ball- antyne dropped in seven points to head the Wildcats. The Johnnies proved superior in the second round inaugural by taking a 31-18 decision. As usual the Lat.robe defense clicked, but failure to find the hoop kept the figures low. Fyalkowski, Resnic and John Pagnanelli, promoted from the Jayvees, saw action While Campbell put on the top notch local performance. Greensburg filled the Orange's next date and only after a hectic time succeeded in recording a 25-16 victory. McGuire's scoring kept t.he Wildcats in the race until the fourth period when the Raiders took their first healthy lead, 19-12. Next the Wildmen moved to Jeannette to take their second league win by a 23-20 count. Ballantyne's six point spurt in the opening minutes paved the road for a game which climaxed in a battle against time. Scoring leads see-sawed back and forth but the Orange gathered a three point advantage just before the bell sounded. Scottdale sent Coach Wild's quintet back to the losing column in a 36-18 encounter. Sharpshoot- ing kept the Scotties well out in front, and steps in mid-court nipped the Orange chances of overtaking them. Connellsville then invaded the Wildcat's court to fall 25-20 before an onslaught in which the locals maintained the lead the entire distance. Cologrande and Ballantyne sank 19 points to keep Latrobe in the foreground. Recording a 23-9 lead in the first half, the Wildmen managed to keep ahead of Norwin's sec- ond half rally to win the season's curtain ringer 29 to 28. Ballantyne hit high score again in this fight. to the finish game with ten tallies. 49 With the season over, managers packed the uni- forms in moth balls and Mr. Funk awarded five mem- bers of the team and the senior manager their insig- nias.

Bowman, Quatrini, Guzik, Pagnanelli Massena, Fyalkowski, Accorsi, Adams, Kinley, O'Rourke, Hulton, Resnic, Thompson. Early in llecfmber, junior varsity candidates re- ported to Mr. Mcliougall in the gym to begin another :-:cason of basketball designed to acquaint underclass- men with basketball fundamentals and provide experi- ence under actual game conditions. By the time scrimrnages became the order of the practice sessions the squad began to take form with Thomas O'Rourke, William Kenljr, Richard Hulton. Patrick Murphy or Donald F-lowry working at the guard posts. Frank Fyal- kowski, John Pagnanelli, Carl Adams, George Mickey, l rancis Accorsi, Edward Sagan, Theodore Guzik, Pete lfraunholtz, or Thomas Ryder usually crouched at for- ward awaiting the ball. At center, William Resnic, Vharles Thompson or Edward Kasprowitz leaped high to flick the ball into a teammate's hands. Opposing factions on the squad battled through the first two games with the Orange counting two vic- tories over the Red, 27-25 and 235-15. ln the jayvees' first encounter with outside competition, the Blue llasketeers slipped through to a 17-14 victory by means of a final period scoring rally that broke a third period deadlock. A scoring spree by Fyalkowski and Pagnanelli sent the Wildkittens into the victory col- umn for the first time with a 23-18 win over the lVest- tnd Wildcats. Scholastic encounters got under way with the Greensburg Raiderettes hammering their Way to a '16-10 victory ou the Brown and White floor, and Jean- nette making it two in a row as they took a low scor- ing 17-9 tilt in the local gym. Turning the tables in r JUNIOR VARSITY their next home encounter, the Wildkittens swamped the Scottdale juniors in a F36-24 game that set the season's high scoring record. Spurred on by their victory, they trounced an invading Norwin quintet 28-13 with Fyalkowski and Pagnanelli looping 13 and 10 points. With Pagnanelli, Fyalkowski, and Resnic graduat- ing to the varsity, the jayvees dropped a second gam: to Greensburg 31-8. In the return game at Jeannette, Massena and Kasprowitz pounded the basket for scor- ing honors, but the Glass City five protected a first quarter lead to win 19-13. Scottdale evened t.he count for the season in the following game when they nosed out the Wildkittens 25-21 in the Scottie's gym. Show-- ing improvement in the final stretch, the juniors marked up two victories to finish the season. They came from behind in the last period to whip a fighting senior class team by a 25-24 score in the closest game of the schedule. The final bell of the season found them smothering Norwin 36-12 in their first foreign victory. Post seasonal statistics show the jayvees almost breaking even with tive Wins and six defeats. John Pagnanelli led the scoring with 56 points, while O'Rourke tallied 51 for second place. Massena and Fyalkowski occupied third and fourth with 50 and 40 points respectively. A margin of 23 points separated the total scoring of the jayvees and their opponents with 243 for the opposition and 220 for the home quintet. 51 ln... With varsity basketball rapidly fading into history, over 400 students took advantage of the school's most popular minor athletic activity to swell the ranks of class and home room basketball squads, and for the first time in recent years, the interest in intra-mural basketball compelled the formation of two squads in the boys' league of the two lower classes. Led by Hamerski, high scoring forward, the sophomore A's whirled through the underclass league to a winning record of five wins and one reverse. They tumbled in quick succession their classmates, 34-3, the freshman A's, 18-14, and the freshman B's, 25-10. In the second round, they again routed their classmates, 32-11, but dropped their second game to the freshman A's by a 15-5 count. They quickly revenged their defeat and ended their season in the lead with a 26-19 win over the freshman B's. The sophomore B's ended their campaign in second place by virtue of three wins and three losses. The B's swamped the freshman A's twice by 22-10 and 18-12 scores, and won a close 13-11 tilt from the freshman B's. The league leading sophomores and the freshman B's handed them their only defeats. The two freshman squads ended their season in a tie for last place honors with two victories each against four losses. The juniors and seniors also ended their campaign in a tie, with the seniors taking the first contest 28-21, but dropping the second fray by a 22-17 score. Along with the boys' squads, the girls' sextettes began limbering up to start their campaign with the Juniors finally capturing first place lau- rels by virtue of live wins and only one defeat. In the opening battle the seniors whipped them in a decisive 33-9 battle, but they came back to capture their next five games with little effort to take the freshman and sophomore teams with little effort. In their second meeting' with the seniors they reversed the decision to pound out a 24-21 victory and clinch first. place. Finishing the season in second place, the seniors swept the freshman and sophomore sextettes by 22-12 and 23-10 scores. They split even with the juniors, but a surprise defeat at the hands of the freshmen ruined first place chances. The sophomores closed their campaign with two victories over the freshmen, 25-18 and 35-22. The freshmen marked up thfeir only fvictory of the season by their defeat of the seniors. ' TVWith class basketball completed, the home room tourney got under way. Seniors from 102 captured top honors in the boys' division with an unblemished record. In the final round they eliminated the sophomores of 213 by a 28-15 count. The championship squad included Dominick Carota, James Carns, William Conrad, Francis Cline, Americo Ciafre. Bruno Enselmini, and William Caslin. For the second consecutive year a freshman home room won the girls' section when 208 marked up five victories to boast another undefeated slate. They clinched the honors by holding 216 scoreless in the final game while they were marking up 17 points. The title winning squad was made up of Nancy Gibson, Geraldine Girard, Anna Catherine French, Betty Dunmire, Georgiana Emery, Eleanor Falso, and Marcia Eiseman. 52 208-GIRLS HOME ROOM CHAMPIONS Top Left FIRST ROW: French, Eiseman E Z mery SECOND ROW: Falso, Gibson Dunmire, Girard.

Around October 7 he draws a circle, for on that date the publications campaign came to an end. With figures from all the home rooms tabulated, the final report shows that Alvin Glenn and Helen Lechner ranks tops among the would-be salesmen. During football season, he makes three notes on the margin of his calendar. The first tells of the school song written by Molly Ross. The second gives credit to Dorothy Downing for winning the High Post foot- ball contest. The third recognizes Guy Yolton, Dick Humes, and George Mickey for combining gymnastics with cheerleading. On the same page, he chalks up Margaret Petrosky's triumph in the novel English contest sponsored by Mr. Dovey. On January he Writes D and W. J. F. F.

I 58 Voices in the auditorium fade into silence as the haunting strains of the processional march begin the National Honor Society initiation ceremonies. Representing the four cardinal principles the solemn procession treads the aisle. First the president advances in lustrous red. Following the president comes Character, typified by spotless white. No other color could signify so well the necessary quality of up- right, clean character. Next follows Leadership, proud in royal purple, the color of kings. In solemn step treads Scholarship, the student and seeker of knowl- edge. Service, the fourth principal, gowned in red, white, and blue characterizes the quality which each must have before he may shoulder the responsibilities of leadership. Down the line, attending these four come the torchbearer, the colorbearer, the warden and in silent solemnity, the new initiates. These comprise approximately five per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the senior class. They repeat the impres- sive oath and after lighting the torch, turn from the stage as members in this esteemed group. The seniors graduate and to the juniors remains the task of carrying out the aims of the society. Last year twelve juniors were elected. At their first meet- ing, they chose Mary McElroy to head the organization, Jean Barron to assist as vice president, William Banks to fulfill the duties of secretary-treasurer, and Patricia Keltz to represent them in Student Council. Other members are Zita Okonak, Rose Kaczuk, Eleanor Edwards, Nancy Doherty, Norman Myers, Jack Moberg, and Alvin Hile. Students belonging to the National Honor Society take active parts in all phases of school life. Some major in the musical field, others excel in forensics while still others center their attentions on journalism and the school publications. According to the custom of preceding years, the society entered a float in the annual Armistice Day parade depicting the role of edu- cation in preparing the citizen of tomorrow. The most important function of the National Honor Society is that of setting a goal for the student. It stimulates ambition. Every student who reaches this goal has done so because he has developed in him- self Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service.

BOTTOM: Hold it, says Nancy Stader to the Perk- ins family, Jack Campbell, Barbara St. Clair and John Hulton. Slowly the lights dim, silence envelops the wait- ing audience, and with the parting of the curtain t.he all-school play begins. Here, on November 18, with a cast drawn from all four classes, Latrobe High School dramatists usher in another season on the boards with the production of the comedy, Seven Sis-- ters. The plot, laid in a humming little garrison town near Budapest, concerns the age-old problem of securing suitable marriages for seven girls. The fourth daughter, Jane Mather as Mitzi, enlists the aid of Paul Eiscman, the gallant Ferenz Horkoy, in shouldering this responsibility. Helen Hurley, as Katinka, first finds her mat.ch in Jack Keltz, in the role of Colonel Radviany. A second marriage brings together Ann Doherty as pretty Sari, and Robert Dun- lap, in his role of the distinguished Lieutenant Sandori-Ty. Jean Moore as stupid Ella, the third daughter, finally catches young Gida Radviany, played by John Boerio. Suzanne St.. Clair mothers this as- tounding family and martially rules her household. However, no one pays much attention to the three younger daughters who squabble continually. The lisping cousin, William Smith as Toni Teleki, almost spoils the plot of the two conspirators, and Richard Weppelman's portrayal of the stupid Janko adds a touch of the ridiculous. Assisting Miss Lafferty, whose skillful direction guides all dramatic produc- tions, Mary McElroy undertook the duties of student director. Depicting the Christmas celebration of t.he Lane family, public speaking classes with Caroline Greif: as student director, presented a one-act play entitled Christmas Eve at Midnight. Beatrice Lambing and Nicholas Rakotis as Mr. and Mrs. Lane, plan a Christ- mas celebration for their four children. Enticed from home by varied interests, John Crapp and Gaile Chor- yfenning as the twins, Byron Blackburn as the young son and Jean Mazero, who goes to a concert with William Worthing in the role of Kevin Douglas, leave their parents to celebrate alone. Seized with remorse, the four return to their parents in time to observe Christmas Eve at home. Again on March 10, the curtains rise on a junior class play. This time the juniors present Something for Nothing, a farce by H. J. Essex and Sid Schwart.z. Assisting at tryouts and in production, Jean Davis carries out the work of student director. This play centers around the contest-mad Perkins family.

Richard DeCourtney, the stationmaster father of this unpref dictable family, blunders in trying to patch up the quarrel between Velma Gardner as Una and Jack Camp- bell who has the solution to the puzzle. Too busy to go to school, lively Ann Tomashosky as Bobby brings the truant oHicer, Barbara St. Clair, into the home. Allen Weiss, a zealous botanist, remains unruflied by the irresponsible family, but busies himself with a rare plant. Martin Lawlor, Herman Lancianese, and Wesley Johnson, as the crooks who try to steal the contest solution, almost cause disaster, but, like the fairy tale, they all live happily ever after. Ruth Crain, Lenore Koski, and Mary Ferrenberg portray the maids. John Hulton, the radio announcer, Nancy Stader, camerawoman, and Clarinda DeVittis as a newspaper sobsister complete t.he cast.

Their gathering is interrupted by 'vincent Quatrini as a ghost who demands 'nitiationf' After the performance of the rites, the ghost departs. For this presentation Gaile Chorpenning acted as stud- ant director. Present at every dramatic production are the girls in white, the ushers, who faithfully report to the aud- itorium for all evening occasions. This courteous corps, headed by Jane Bair, always officiates in guid- ing those attending to their places when tickets are marked, and to obtain good seats for students, parents. teachers, and friends. Among the most important con- tributors to the success of the schoo1's dramatic pro- ductions, the stage crew represents an efficient group, whose service far surpasses their usual recognition. Joseph Quinn as stage manager directs the activities of the crew which includes Fred Strickler, Robert Rey.- lmurn, Joseph Brody, and Harry Ryan. Long before the curtain rises and long after it falls this crew pro- iiciently go about their work, erecting and striking the L-ets. While they receive no applause and do not. ap- pear on the stage, they opei'ate the lights and curtains and are vital to a successful performance. Together the directors, the cast, ushers, and man- agers combine for each performance. Each person who takes part gains something intangible from the co-operation, and the audience takes away pleasant memories of an enjoyable evening. f-e'-1 l l l l QV' 43-so RQ PUBLICATICNS PROVIDE CDPPORTU N ITI ES sr A'f-r22fSmrf- FUR CREATIVE WRITING Causing a minor turmoil among students congre- gated at their lockers, the eager freshman makes a wild dash for his home room and the year's first issue of the High Post. Shouting his name at an over- worked reporter, he grasps a copy firmly and retreats out the door with his prey. Perhaps he beams with pride at the sight of his name in a feature story or pursues avidly the career of the school's gridiron hero as related on the sports page. Reaching the down- stairs hallway, he lifts his nose from Brief Case only long enough to stare in awe at the juniors and seniors hard at Work in room 118, the council chamber where the High Post originated. A little Wistfully, he wishes that he, too, might share in the efforts and triumphs of these aspiring journalists. By the time our hero has advanced to the soph- omore class, he may be seen any seventh period grind- ing out lead paragraphs with the other Journalism I students. With trembling voice, he reads his first story for the class to criticize, only to sit down again with a sigh of relief and a silent promise to do bet.ter in the future. In dismay, he struggles with his first make-up sheet, but before long, he knows all about symmetrical balance and G heads. When the bell rings, he reluctantly collects his material, finding some excuse to linger long enough to view his idols-the Journalism Il students. medal awarded the Latrobean before a framed group f earlier prizes. The next year he reaches his goal. The eighth period every other Monday, he puzzles over the yellow slips of paper left on his desk by the editor, Zita Okonak- Student Council story. 180 words. 14pl. 2-step with a 10 point butt. Half a dozen crumpled sheets of paper litter the Hoor before he shows the finished product to Mr. Benford. After a few correc- tions, he carries his story upstairs to be typed by Carmelina Accorsi. But a head still remains t.o trou- ble him, and he has to call on Ann Murphy for aid. His own work done, he helps John Hulton write an editorial, tells Buzz Yolton a funny incident to appear in Buzzing Around, or finds Mary McElroy a cut for her column. Friday evening spells D-E-A-D-L-I-N-E, and so it is not until the hands of the clock point to a quarter past six that he helps James Depree and Glenn Dietz gather up the last of the stories, now ready for the printer. The following week, long sheets of galley proof arrive for him to read and correct. Borrowing a pen- cil from Evelyn McCormick, he sets to Work helping John Bucholtz supply missing commas and hunt elusive errors on the proof sheets. That completed, he waits for Thursday and the page proof to appear. With the aid of Barbara St. Clair and Webster's dictionary, he finally gets each page in readiness for the presses- another issue has just been put to bed. But does this conclude his duties as a staff mem- ber? Far from it. Perhaps, instead of writing for the publications, he prefers to help Ann Tomashosky as an assistant business manager or to work with the advertisers. lf so, he joins the team composed of Dick Wilt and Dick Steele and goes off, a contract book stuck securely under one arm, to track down his quota of ads. At the end of each quest, he tells .It-an Miller about his success or failure, and joins Ethel Stewart in filling out the slip which records his accomplish' ments. Then as soon as the paper appears, he points with pride to a little printed square on the back page, explaining to Nancy Doherty, That's mine! His junior year finished, the journalist returns to school in the guise of a dignined senior. By this time he has gained enough experience to make the editorial staff and to join Alvin Hile in working out the com- plicated mechanisms of page make-up. Now he can watch serenely the discomfiture of fellow staff mem- bers when he passes out the yellow assignment slips or indiscriminately mutilates the stories writt.en by less fortunate individuals. In his position he gets all the thrill of working in a big newspaper ofiice, for he frequently shows up in French class covered with printers ink from the wet proofs. As soon as mid-terms pass, a new job comes into the senior's life-the Latrobean. From Christmas vacation till the last of May, his days teem with activ- ity. His jealous classmates glimpse him treading in the footsteps of Mr. Degleau, a bunch of cards and a flash bulb in his hand. The curious stare in amaze- ment at the sight of him, propped behind a desk, care- fully snipping a photograph with a pair of scissors. What his fellow students do not see are the long hours of work-planning, measuring, pasting, writing-that he must complete before the yearbook is finished. His senior year ends in a blaze of glory, topped off by a banquet at which he becomes a member of the Quill and Scroll. So he goes out into the world, pre- pared for a career in journalism, perhaps. At least he has learned the Spartan virtues of responsibility. thoroughness, and accuracy. But most of all, he leaves behind an incentive for service to other freshmen poring eagerly over their Hrst issue of the High Post.

Whether pleading a cause in an original oration, zealously arguing a debate, quickly or- ganizing words and phrases in an excemporaneous presentation, or interpreting immortal words of great men, the student gains an intangible assurance from contact with his audience. He not only enters new fields in his education, but emerges from each experience more poised and self-confident. On February 9 the finals for the fourteenth annual Rotary Oratorical Contest began as Chairman Harry Reed arose to address the audience. Among other things he called attention to the fact that for the first. 'time in the history of the Rotary contest, all the finalists were girls. As each orator eloquently pleaded her cause, the decision became more difficult. However, the judges finally agreed and Mary McElroy at- tained first place foi' her ora- tion on patriotism, My Country 'Tis of Thee . Eleanor Edwards was awarded second place for hei' delivery of The Caravan of Deathn, while Edith Cahen ranked third with her oration en- titled Is it Worth the Price?i' in which she dis- cussed juvenile deliquency Margaret Petrosky gained honorable mention for her presentation of United States-Guardian of Democracy . Other orators selected from the 13 who com- peted in the eliminations were Nancy Doherty with America-Home of the Homelessng Zita Okonak, The Marionette ShoW g Rose Kaczuk, The Highwaymanng and Charlotte Binkey. Marijuana-Assassin of Youth . All of the M . Q? rators developed under the di- ection of Miss Louise Lafferty. 'ine ability to think quickly and speak clearly with little preparation is required in the annual extemporaneous speaking contest sponsored by the Ki- wanis Club and directed by Miss Martha Usborne. The general topuc discussed was Consumer Education. From the first com- petition, finalists for each class were chosen, and these nine suc- cessful contestants renewed their efforts for the final con- test March 31. The night ar- rived, and Barbara St. Clair, a junior, addressed the audience as the first speaker. Those who followed were Paul Lutt- ner, Marie Harman, and Lor- raine barnett, sophomores 5 Norman Myers and John Buc- holtz, seniors, John Hugus, Freshman, and Barbara McEl- roy, junior. After the last speak- er, Charles Thompson, freshman resumed his seat, the judges con- vened to select the class winners and name the school winner. For the second successive year Lor- raine Barnett attained first place for the sophomore class and was adjudged the best speaker of the even- ing. Other class winners included John Buc- holtz, seniorg Barbara St. Clair, juniorg and Charles Thompson, freshman. Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. This was the vital subject on which Latrobe debaters worked during the past season under the direction ol Mr. Mars Dovey. Once again zealous debaters scanned newspapers for new developments and laboriously constructed strong constructive speeches. The teams included Mary McElroy and Eleanor Edwards, affirmative, with Allen Weiss and John Hulton, and Rose Kaczuk and .Ex N EXTEMPORANEOUS FINALISTS-TOP LEFT-FIRST ROW: Hugus Barnett Harman McElroy St Clair SECOND ROW: Thompson, Bucholtz, Myers, Luttner , . , DECLAMATION CONTESTANIS TOP CENTER FIRST ROW Ondrlezek, Nelgh ly, Maher, Petrosky, French, M.

At the end of the half performance, whether it con- sisted of forming an anchor to the tune of Anchors Aweighf' playing a massed number with the visit- ing band, letter formation, or a company front across the center of the field, the strains of the Alma Mater bring the spectators to their feet as they pledge to be loyal and true.

As the football season closes with the annual banquet at the Latrobe Country Club, the long train ride to Altoona, the victory parades and the roar- ing bonfire, the bus journey to Wilkinsburgg and the joint participation with high school bands from Derry Township, Derry, and Ligonier at St. Vin- cent Stadium, become unforgettable memories. At 11:22 each Wednesday and Friday morning, the high school orchestra plays the processional while students pour into the auditorium from all directions and finally arrange themselves in their assigned seats. At the close of the chapel period the strains of Golden Spur send everyone hurry- ing from the auditorium. From the pit the orches- tra member has a 'tclose up of both student and professional performers, and can cast encouraging smiles to his friends on the stage. Here he sits during presentation of most productions in the auditorium waiting until intermission to provide his share of the entertainment. Traveling to Oakmont, eight members of the music department participated in the annual All- Wcstern Orchestra. Picked from membership in this group,Katherine Anderson, Patty Wright., anfl Rudolph llivlichar represented Latrobe in the All- State Orchestra at Johnstown. Training a student to play well with a smaller group, the brass quartet and brass sextet appear publicly as the occasion de- mands. ,During the Christmas season, members of the brass choir, composed of twelve band and orches- tra members, helped bring cheer to many by playing carols throughout the town. Every week the beginner, enrolled in the instru- mental classes, has the opportunity to work his way to the head of the class-first chair. This system prepares the musician for future advanced work. After passing that all important test given by Mr. Ringrose, the student may be assigned to band or orchestra or both. For that freshman girl whose greatest ambition is to become a singer, Chorus I offers appropriate training. Each member show- ing sufiicient ability and interest in singing may be promoted to Chorus H at the close of the fresh- man year. Annually the chorus member has an opportunity to sing before the student body at the combined chorus assembly program. 67 .E,, , INSTRUMENTALISTS Bottom Center FIRST ROW: Mr. Ringrose, Emery, Holsinger, D.

I Listening to the discussion of the problems of livestock feeding and management, the pruning and grafting of trees, or landscaping home grounds, an agricultural student who belongs to the Future Farm- ers of America gains proficiency in related occupa- tions. His motto, Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve, embodies the true vocational spirit. Mr. Godshall strengthens the conf- fidence of the boy in his work by arousing his interest in farming. Through his experiences wit.h the Future ijraftsnlen of America, the shop student obtains an opportunity for experience in leadership. Here he receives encouragement to participate in public affairs, and, by working with industrial products, he learns to be thrifty. Mr. Bert promotes fellowship and induces .1 studious attitude among the members. Having in- creased his knowledge of industrial organization, trade ethics, and safety, the student can now choose an oc- cupation intelligently. Having answered 'tadsum to the censor's call, the Latin Club member listens intently while a student discusses the Roman Saturnalia.

Since the future chemist makes a visit to th-f Pearce Qllanul':icturing Company and other plants ot' Latrobe, he sets the application ot' chemistry to indus- try. Every time he attends a Chemistry Club meeting, he acquires zz better understanding of the subject, be- cause Mr. Wiegman performs experiments that students could not complete in the class period. Having heard various discussions, he now understands the role chemistry plays in his daily life.
