JOHN G. l-IULTON Superintendent of Latrobe Public Schools Just today's barren stretch of land known as Showalter's Flats will be a community center of tomorrow, so the high school in every decade of its existence has marched steadily down the road to progress through far sighted administra- tion vision. With years of achievement behind them, the Board of Education continually opens new path- ways of improvement to provide up-to-date ad- vantages, in curricular and extra-curricular de- velopment. Spurrecl by this ideal, they pur- chased a portion of Showalter's Flats, envision- ing the transformation of that infested acreage into a future recreational center. An aspiration of many Latrobers for years, the first step came over a year ago when the seven civic minded members appointed Mr. H. A. Stewart and Mr. William McCullough to nego- tiate the purchase of the tract from the Showalt- er Heirs. After months of discussion, an agree- ment was reached and the board authorized the purchase upon the motion of Mr. W. H. Flick- inger. Now seeking means of improving the land, Mr. Flickinger and Mr, George F. Brown I8 Leads In Promoting Opportunity For Community Lite And Service NIR. M. N.

Harman and Miss Ida Wigfield. suggested an application for W. P. A. help and also the employment of a recreational specialist to determine future possible sports facilities. Although the finished product is still only a vision, these men and their fellow members, Dr. Thomas St. Clair, Dr. S. W. Nealon and Mrs. Ruth B. Robb, have lighted the spark of achieve- ment Which soon will glow brightly. As his contact is equally close with students and the Board of Education, Superintendent John G. Hulton is able to perceive necessary improve ments and offer suggestions to the Board towards obtaining them. Recent installation of additional machinery in the agriculture shop has increased the teaching facilities, and a decided cultural advantage has been furthered by the addition of instruments to the music department. In his capacity as principal, Mr. M. N. Funk's closer association with students brings to them his wide fund of experience. From freshmen to seniors he assists in wise selection of courses, helping everyone utilize his abilities to receive beneficial returns. In addition he directs the daily routine of a school community of more than 1,200, quickly and efficiently solv- ing the multitude of problems that arise. Operating efiiciently and systematically, three secretaries, Miss Dorothy Harman, Miss Ruth Himler and Miss Ida Wigfield attend to the clerical work of the school and aid students in the million and one mishaps that occur daily. As the curtain lowers on each school year, the administration may glance back with de- served satisfaction to every added improvement and then look ahead into the future as plans of increased progress take definite form. Pursuing his policy of per- sonally interviewing students about their problems, Mr. M. N. Funk, principal, consults the office file containing each pupil's record, to solve Dono- van Shirey's question. BOARD OF EDUCATION Nlrs. Ruth Robb Mr. H. A. Stewart Mr. George F. Mr. VV. H.

Rizzo Sending students out into the world with confidence in their ability to express themselves and to get along with people, constitute one of the aims of the teachers in the English depart- ment, in conducting a variety of interesting and educational classes among which is included an oral period held each week on Friday. Those entering Miss Mabel Linder's classes come out with a thorough knowledge of Shakes- pearean plays for while they study A Midsum- mer Night's Dream, members of the classes join together to dramatize a particular scene from the play. Freshmen in Miss Irene Mertz' sect.ions find that variety is the spice of life, for instead of merely reading the classics which must be studied each year, they find much enjoyment por- traying the various characters of the classic as their oral work on Friday. Miss Jean Dibb keeps a steady stream of interesting conversation going in her room, for her aim in teaching freshmen is to develop the art of easy flowing conversation so that they may face the future with confidence in their ability to speak. Stressing the use of imagination and originality while speaking, Mr. M. C. Dovey starts dreams spinning for seniors with such subjects as What Would You Do If You Had A Million Dollars ? Miss Martha Osborne believes in training her English classes to study subjects of all kinds so for their oral work they may choose their own topic on which to report and thus cover a wide 4.Q E101 The library charging desk provides a center of informa- tIOH as students consult librarians for aid in finding books and materials for re- ports. field of knowledge.

Miss Katherine Alcorn's profound interest in dramatics shines forth even in her English classes for frequently plays are read and report- ed on before the entire group. Tending to foster the sporting spirit of argument, Mr. M. E. Rizzo finds that assigning reports from magazines such as Our Times and Everyweek not only in- duces intelligent argument but also acquaints the trade boys with current events. Thus, through the elforts of the instructors in the English department to create something new and different, each student in the high school looks forward with mingled joy and fear to these Friday classes for he knows that here he may argue and discuss to his heart's content. Here he may help his fellow classmates by commenting on speech and appearance. Here he may express orig' ' ' f 'eely. 1nal thoughts and ldeas 1 L11 Attired in colorful costume of the 15th cen- Pe y Hall, Helen DeFlavio, tury Gene Nlurray, gg and Robert Yamber anxiously look on while Bob Reintgen as Bassanio opens the lead casket in the sophomore assembly play, The Merchant of Venice.

' - - 'Preparing for industry keynotes the attitude of both students and teachers in the industrial and science departments of Latrobe High School. At present, unlimited numbers of electricians, machinists, mechanics, chemists and engineers are needed, and therefore elementary training in all these fields is available to the students of Latrobe High School. When a freshman enters high school, he is required to take general science. As Miss Cath- erine Netzlof and Mr. George Lee perform an experiment, the student sits wide-eyed, 'eagerly visualizing his Work in the biology, chemistry and physics courses. Many of these freshmen scientists advance to biology and marvel at the world of microbes seen through the microscopes. Under the guidance of Miss Virginia Daniels. the young biologist sees for the first time the marvels of plant and animal life. In chemistry classes, students under the direction of Mr. Ralph D. Manon and Mr. J. C. Guild learn precision and accuracy in the per- forming of experiments during lab period. In the classroom, the budding chemist is not only taught the principles of chemistry, but also the practical application of the work in the world of industry. If he is enrolled in the trades course he has the opportunity of studying in an indus- l12l trial chemistry class that particularly develops his interests. After he has mastered the intricacies of chemistry, the science student moves on to the study of physics under Mr. S. G. Rummel's su- pervision, where he performs experiments during lab period as an adjunct to his regular class- Work. In the physics laboratory the student is taught to compile data, and draw conclusions from experiments performed. Under the super- vision of Mr. J. F. Shay, who is now employed at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, and Mr. F. A. Halsall, the mechanical drawing student is taught to draw scale-plans, so he might appreciate neat- ness, which is so essential in later life. This course is open to boys interested in engineering and to boys in the industrial course. The freshman in the trade-course gains his elementary training in the shops of the Fourth Ward school building under the guidance of Mr. C. H. Thompson. During this period of prelimin- ary instruction, the aspiring machinist or elec trician absorbs the principles of industrial train- ing, and the undecided student is given oppor- tunity to select the trade for which he is best Like all the high schocI's biology students, Sally Spory, Carl Mattioli, Janet Levay and Joseph Metil find the care of the aquarium a project that keeps them busy forpthe whole year. Good machinists are vital in the war effort. Latrobe High School aids in this national emergency by training boys to operate lathes and other industrial machines. fitted. After completing his apprenticeship in the Fourth Ward shops and the mechanical draw- ing classes, the industrial student has an oppor- tunity to study in the Wood, machine or electric shop for the remainder of his high school career. Here he is given specialized training in t.he elementary processes of his chosen profession. If the student chooses wood-Working he is given an opportunity to mature and become a capable Workman under the guidance and help of Mr. F. C. Bert. He launches his career as a Woodworker by first constructing small objects and finally performing large jobs. Among the articles made by woodworking students are skis, cedar chests and stands. The wood shop also offers practical experience in repair Work for it is here that broken school furniture goes for first-aid and rehabilitation. Mr. H. G. Knier instructs students who choose to work in the machine shop. With his help, the young machinist gains a practical knowl- edge in the operation of such machines lathes and grinders and prepares himself for his life's Robert Patton listens attentively while wood- shop boys, lined up outside the tool room win- dow, reqtest tools for their jobs. ambition of being a skilled master-machinist. If the student is interested in electricity, he may work in the electric shop under the supervision of Mr. R. W. Lambert Where intricacies of Wiring become common place problems and a routine job may include anything from rewinding an arma- ture to Wiring a house. .H -h -1- 1154- A r SCIENCE Miss Virginia Daniels lVIr.

Freshmen probably never gave much thought to Einstein and his theories, but after a hasty peek into Miss Lyda Hamilton's advanced algebra class they appreciated that those seemingly mean- ingless hieroglyphics filling the blackboard were not a lot of typographical errors. Before he can reach this understanding he must, however, work his way along through elementary algebra and plane geometry which will provide him with a sound basis for reasoning to true conclusions. Only then is he privileged to occupy a seat in 112 and listen to Miss Hamilton's demonstration that angle X plus angle Y equals angle Z from the model cone she holds in her hand. Background essential to carrying on the work in advanced mathematics class comes from courses in elementary algebra. This means going into a class where Miss Mary Louise McBride is developing the budding mathematician by ex- plaining the procedures in solving Hrst degree equations. Just around the corner general math- ematics rules the classroom as Mr. J. E. Guild helps turn numbers and their mysteries into practical everyday servants. Short cuts of com- putation and mental arithmetic attract the atten- tion of Miss Florence Breeton's class in com- mercial arithmetic for people interested in math- ematics as utilized in the business world. The cold logic of numbers and their symbols marshalled in formal array must also make room in the student mind for the record of man and his accomplishments in the social science class- room. Mr. William Yates and Mr. R. V. W'ild give the timid freshman his introduction with a civics course during his Hrst high school year. Here government in general is covered as Well as some treatment accorded current social prob- lems. After completing this introductory course, the newly made sophomore advances into the hands of Mr. H. E. Hoerr, where he travels through the intricacies of medieval government MATH ErviA'rics .i jf Miss Florence ,.. Breeton H V ' Miss Lyda Hamilton s Miss Mary Louise , 2.4 D McBride t 5 W J Qi ss Mr. J.

As added study of man's relationship to his fellovvmen, American history taught by Mr. R. V. Wild or by Mr. G. D. Rise holds the junior's attention as current events become a dominant topic of the day and the exploits of famous Amer- icans holds a mirror to reflect the modern coun- terpart in opportunities. Problems of democ- racy occupies the senior as he concludes his social studies, supervised by Mr. G. D. Rise or Mr. J. R. Beatty. Discussion of social problems forms the nucleus of the course as the senior learns the issues confronting modern government. For those whose first love is the land, agri- culture offers instruction in modern scientific farm procedures and care of animals. Student projects constitute a major portion of the Work as the boys under the instruction of Mr. G. W. Keener report the progress of their various activities. Programs completed this year in- cluded, among others, a brooder for 800 chicks, feeding troughs, soil conservation plans and fer- tilizer testing. Primarily the course covers modernizing of the farm and its equipment as Well as all scientific methods. One of the proj- ects carried on by the class as a Whole was the testing of milk for butter food content. Field trips to various fairs and county demonstrations, including a visit to the Pennsylvania State Farm Show at Harrisburg for project winners, pro- vided a practical insight into the advances and opportunities open in the field of agriculture. Projects representing different periods in the history of the world, a miniature guillotine and lake dwellers houses, occupy the attention of world history students, Bill Nicholas. Bob Reintgen, Betty Jane Nleyers, Annette Shirey and Elizabeth Ogden. E , ,. . V - -lri f .wgutlyatmffasawingrg W Z' L. 515' f'-,. 5' f wi H jg- ,f,, K f.

From the midst of pots and pans, students in the homemaking department step forward to take their places in the world as future house- wives, while typewriters and stencils form the foundation from which students in the commer- cial department step into the realm of business. Under the supervision of Miss Emily Vosburgh and her staff, girls in the homemaking cottage learn the fundamentals of keeping house, while commercial teachers with Mr. H. E. Stover as their head prepare students for work at the desk of industry. Teas, luncheons, drapes and flowers all con- tribute to the training needed for future dietic- ians, seamstresses or interior decorators. How- ever, the main part of the home making course consists of daily household tasks and methods of caring for household articles. Alternately serving as host, hostess, cook and waitress, senior girls had the opportunity of learning by doing, this year as they entertained four Student Coun- cil members each Thursday at luncheon.

These girls also entertained the members of the visiting Evalua- tion Committee with luncheon and tea when they made the cottage their headquarters during their two-day visit. If girls expect to really become model house- wives, they can't afford to omit anything, so the Child Clinic installed in one of the upstairs rooms this year as an examination center for children up to five years of age acquaints them with an- other home duty. Clinic services included weigh- ing, measuring, and checking for any skin de- fects. Three senior girls were assigned each week to assist Mrs. Conti, from the state health department, and learn to care for the younger generation safely and in the most efficient man- ner. The related arts class, with Mrs. Katherine Stumbaugh as instructor, came through with dying colors on one of their projects when they won both first and second prizes in the Civic Club flower show last September. As part of a project for the entire department, students in the course under the direction of Mrs. Marcella Gibson completed decorations for the sun-room and finished getting the laundry ready for prac- tical use. Both the Red Cross and hospital used the cottage as a workshop in which to provide training in practices useful in the the present emergency. This year the commercial department as- sumed a more important job than ever before, for its training is essential for efficient men behind the men behind the guns. Typewriters and mimeograph machines clicked steadily from behind the door of oflice training class as future stenographers and secretaries prepared for work after graduation. Advanced commercial students applied principles learned during the last three years when they entered Mr. Stover's office train- ing class for practical experience. Since the basis of commercial work is writ- ing and spelling, Miss Laura Shallenberger daily counted out ovals for rhythm in writing and free arm movement to promote speed. She also re- viewed spelling rules that students might have overlooked in grade school. After finishing this course, no one need any longer ponder over long- hand outlines or be doubtful as to whether a word is spelled with an e or an i. In addition t fQQ COMMERCIAL Mr. P. T.

T. Gaudino's classes to teach students how to balance the budget with little difliculty. What. would you do if the boss was in a bad humor and went around slamming drawers While you were trying to take a letter? Miss Elsie Garlow's shorthand and typing classes can solve such problems and similar situations with little embarrassment after actual experience. Mr. James Kohut who replaced Mr. C. E. McDougall when he answered the Army's call in November helped pupils become better consumers in sales- manship class by taking them down to the model store and pointing out the principles of buying and selling. After a thorough analysis of retail procedure. students acted as customers and sales clerks, not aiming particularly at training for vocatons so much as to make everyone wiser buyers. By means of progress and error charts, sev- enty-four members of Miss Blanche Quick's first year typing class were able to keep close Watch on their speed and accuracy and by having these charts as an extra incentive to keep their speed up and errors down. After experimenting with the functional method of shorthand in tests last year which proved successful, the department used this new method exclusively in classes this term. 161' 'iWH ..-919934 I Increaselv0tlQtSi6lwARnl3-ll:lM8bCEUliMEEl5S4Qrounds Contrasting Old Spain with today's Latin America, Spanish students Thomas Meyers, Sally Bair, Catherine Doherty and Walter Haz- lett examine their projects. Playing an important part in school activi- ties, music, art and languages, the finer arts, help expand and increase the individual's outlook on life. The om-pah-pahs which resound through the corridors of Latrobe High School before a Saturday football game indicate that even polish- ed musicians need practice. Mr. Fred A. Ring- rose, music instructor, tirelessly directs the band, and soon the old adage of practice makes per- fect is borne out, as orange and black uniformed figures swing briskly up the field, or weave in and out of intricate formations. Aiming to de- velop a fuller appreciation of music among the students, the orchestra, another indispensible or- ganization of the school, entertains during an assembly period. Opportunity is further pro- vided for those who do not play instruments, as Mr. Ringrose's supervision of Girl's Chorus I and II, and Boy's Chorus, encourages original abilities and helps the student learn music's progress through the ages. Student's original artistic talents Hourish under the direction of Miss Mary Martha Himler, L18 art instructor, as she constructively criticizes a painting which a student has just completed. What type of art work are you interested in? asks Miss Himler of her class, at the beginning of the team. Whether it is portrait painting, lettering, or landscape drawing, the student chooses the field he prefers and devotes his time in class to that phase of art in which he feels he will excel. During the year, a knowledge of pro- portion and beauty, together with a genuine ap- preciation for art is instilled within the minds of ambitious students. The annual Art Exhibit, which is brought to Latrobe High School by Miss Himler, provides further opportunity for the stu- dent to View paintings within the corridors of the school. ln addition to teaching the necessary fundamentals, art fosters individual self-expres- sion. The good neighbor' policy invaded Latrobe High School as the trend toward increasing bet- ter relations, and the need for knowledge of the language, in the world of today, prompted the administration to add Spanish to the curriculum. Buenos dias senors, senoritasf' greets Miss Mary Reed, and Spanish unfolds before the eyes of students, scenes of gay fiestas, colorful cos- tumes, or picturesque villages, which are char- acterist.ic of the Spanish speaking nations. The Spanish I student soon masters difficult verbs LANGUAGE-MUSIC-ART Miss Mary Reed Miss Adeline Fieeping Miss Mary Martha Himler Mr. F. A. Rinqrose and conjugations and his interest quickens still more, when Miss Reed points out an article which appears in the Spanish newspaper, La Luz. He knows that the short phrases he learns Hrst will pave the way for fluency and mastery later on. Translating stories into Spanish, or draw- ing flags and maps, often occupies the spare time of students, as projects encourage expansion of thought and increase ability. Throughout the ages, learned men have originated sayings or maxims, which prevail even in these modern times, but the individual who said, Latin is a dead language, was evidently unable to foresee the year 1942, where, within the portals of Latrobe High School, Latin con- tinues to be as much alive as it was in the days of Cicero and Caesar, many centuries ago. Fresh- men entering Miss Adeline Reeping's Latin I classes learn within a few months, that by mas- tering Latin vocabularies, they will lay the foun- dation stone which will broaden their mental opportunities. Veni vide vici. After studying Caesar's account of the wars, second year stud- ents learn the meaning of his famous expression. Helen Roble and Eleanor Maclntire collect first hand information cancerning drawing by sketching a well-known artist's picture at the Annual Art Exhibit presented by Miss Martha Himler. Under the direction of Mr. F. A. Ringrose, members of Girls Chorus Il practice for one of their many public performances. Juniors taking Latin III read the thrilling ad- ventures of the Aeneid The eulogies and orations of Cicero hold no terrors for the Latin IV student, as he begins his last year. Increased originality results as students in all four classes complete projects. French! Perhaps no language in all the world sounds so dramatic to the French I student as he prepares to learn ula langue francaisef' Comment allez vous ? he queries, as he learns to ask his classmates a question in one short sentence. Miss Reed reminds the beginner that by study, his ability to read well will influence his speech. French II classes pore over the pages of Les Miserables or find adventures in reading by completing Adventures Par la lec- ture. At Christmas time, classes learn to sing familiar carols in French, while La Petite Jour- nall' the French newspaper tells of a typical French Christmas. Projects are completed dur- ing the year, as evidence of outside work. As seniors close their books for the last time, they know that through the study of various langu- ages, they have gained a fuller, richer back- ground, which will aid them in the careers they choose.

Couples The Sound Body With A Healthy Mind To almost every boy or girl, whether swing- ing on the parallel bars or developing new tennis serves, action in gymnasium periods each week is regarded as fun and a means for athletic par- ticipation, but this action signifies more. It represents the ideal of instructors as they strive to bring out strength in body as well as strength in mind in the youth of America. This activity in Mr. H. I. Snyder's or Miss Beulah Gerheimls classes is varied and includes participation in practically everything from basketball to fencing. Gymnasium ranks this year did not include juniors or seniors because of a lack of facilities, and the system put into action provided an allot,- ment of two periods per week for all underclass- men. Because of only minimum space for taking care of large numbers after school, a plan re- quiring upperclass participation in some sport for 48 gymnasium hours was not put into effect. Freshmen and sophomores found the two period allotment highly enjoyable as they engaged in miniature basketball games, brushed up golfing tactics, or developed new rope climbing tech- niques. Miss Gerheim's classes learned the basic principles of basketball refereeing, took up a course in fencing and did their best to compre- hend the explanation of complicated body-build- ing exercises. On other days Mr. Snyder's 20l charges hep hepped a few times around the gym as they put into action leg building routines, practiced calisthenics, or swung up and over in a practice session on the horse, attempting to drain every period of the opportunities it oiered to them.

Mr. Snyder was equally busy he strove to impart to an interested group knowl- edge concerning the administration of artificial respiration, combatting fainting spells or check- ing bleeding with tourniquets. But if any of these accidents became a reality, Miss Florenze Lenz, school nurse, was always on hand to administer to the comfort of the patient. in the health room until Doctor NV. S. Bell, school physician, arrived on the scene. Dr. Bell and Miss Lenz, duties included not only eniergency and accident cases however, as they spent the entire month of January and half of February checking on each student's physical condition. Dr. Bell's examination left nothing untouched, he inspected teeth, ears, eyes and heart. The chief purpose of this examination was to acquaint the student with his health status and to suggest means of checking and correcting irregularities. Protection of student health is confined not only to the classroom and gymnasium, but is also represented in the daily rounds of the janitorial staff. M1'. Charles E. Lynch checked for uniform- ity in heat during the winter months and super- vised the removal of snow, as well directing the NYA boys and girls in their housecleaning of the school on Saturday mornings. Mrs. Mary Barkley and Mrs. Jennie Gray appeared each evening after dismissal to sweep the day's ac- cumulation out of sight as broom and dust pan came into play. The words physical education mean much more than they signify, for they represent the life blood of a great institution, they signify the health of boys and girlsg they mean action, laughter and most of all, happiness. Offering Doris Galvin a cup of water, health room attendants Phyliss Patton and Dorothy Steiner make the patient as comfortable a possible while awaiting the arrival of Miss Ger- heim or Miss Lenz. iam.

Can 1942's Past Foreiell The After four years of high school life, the class of 1942 graduates, leaving behind the ac- tivities and achievements which have prepared them for service in the future. From the time they entered high school as timid freshmen in the fall of 1938 they have participated in every phase of activity and left their mark in each field. Choosing oflicers provided one of their first lessons in democratic procedure. As freshmen, they elected Nancy Showalter their president, and in the following years they chose Clara Mel- ichar, as sophomore, Carl Adams, junior, and Angelo Taiani, senior class presidents. Vice- presidents have included Rudolph Puchan, Cath- erine Strickler, James Bowman and Samuel Shust, while secretaries were Joseph Mellors, Ralph Graham, Harry Digenis and Martha Jane 22 Miller. Treasurers Richard Cline, Jean Town- send, Harry Graham and Ruth Richwine handled class finances, with Student Council representa- tives Ann De Flavio, William Barron, Martha Whiteman and Marjorie Houck completing the ofiicers for the respective years. Physical development played a large part in the lives of the present graduating class, as both boys and girls took part in athletics. Lettermen in two sports, Frank Fyalkowski and Francis Accorsi signed their names to both basketball and football laurels for all four years. Others who starred in the football lineup were Nevin Massena, David Truxal, Carl Kenly, Charles Steininger, and Walter Osborne. On the hard- wood, Carl Adams, John Pagnanelli and Harry Fraunholtz gained distinction in big league bas- sua., Symbols of Democracy make a pleasing back- ground at the Junior-Senior' Prom as Marilyn Beeghly and Carl Adams arrive at the dance anticipating an enjoyable evening. ketball. Intra-mural notables on the basketball floor included Anna Katherine French, Marcia Eiseman, Georganna Emery, Margaret Falso, and Betty Girard, who took the girls' homeroom championship their freshman year, and Jean Townsend, Wanda Ziolkowski, Florence Veto, Mary Veto, Clara Wigfield, Catherine Zylak, Mary Welshons and Catherine Strickler, who won the championship their junior year. In the class struggle the same year, the juniors took all honors as Caroline Mosso, Clara Wigtield, Nettie Sarneso, Janet Levay, Margaret Falso and Marie Battaglia captured the girls' championship, and Pete Fraunholtz, Al Hlavsa, Nevin Massena, Jerry Hanger and Tom Smith overcame all odds' in the boys' tourney. In minor sports, Jack Murray, Jack Hugus and Abraham Khorey starred on the tennis team, Richard Hulton swung his golf clubs, and Tom Shivetts, Tom O'Rourke and Frank Davis led the cheering. In forensics and music, the class of 1942 highlighted championships. Discussing Consum- er Education Charles Thompson won the fresh- man extemporaneous class prize, while Bernard Costello captured first prize the following two years when spoke on The Movie Problem and America In European Aifairsf' Women's Club Contest winners were Helen Hunter, Jo Ann Covode, DeWitt Kirk and Ann De Flavio, with declamations, Shakespearean and poetry read- ings. Oboe player Carl Shirey found time to represent Latrobe in at least five state music con- certs, at some of which he was accompanied by Clara Melichar who plays the baritone. Mary Doherty had the distinction of being selected to sing in several chorus groups. Marching ahead of the band, John Hugus devoted four years to drum majoring. Entering dramatic ranks, many members of the class of 1942 stood behind the footlights dur- ing their four years and added their talents to all-school, Christmas and class successes. Jane Mather, Betty Tosh, Jean Moore, Jim Bowman, Frank Davis, Mary Doherty, June Hook, Louise Hanson and Henry Seremet joined to help pre- sent Seven Sisters, Big Hearted Herbert, What A Life and Why The Chimes Rang. For their junior class play, under the student direction of Nancy Showalter, the 1942 gradu- ates presented a mystery, The Ghost Train, with a cast including Harry Graham, Leo Chapla, Betty Lou Tosh, William Barron, Elvira Keeno, Edward Patterson, Dorothy Steiner, Jane Mic- key, Philip Jones, Theodore Johnson and Donald Johnston. With a patriotic note in the red, white, and blue gym, they entertained at their Junior Prom and danced their way to the status of stately seniors-and so out into the world.

FRANCIS ACCORSI BARBARA KELTZ DEWITT KIRK BEATRICE STAHL CARL SHIREY Athletics Journalism Scholarship Homemaking Music Sei The Pace Of Accomplishment H38 Once upon a time there were .......... no, it's not a fairy tale .... it's the tale of ten seniors whose names already have made their impression upon the future-their records Well established, their capabilities well known. From the athletic field to the Home Making Cottage, from Student Council work to publications these ten stand out Combining service and leadership with skill in their representative fields, these ten have planted a stepping stone from Which they will take their place in the community as leaders. O BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS That's my cue! cried Harry Graham as he stepped onto the stage whether as a typical train station master or as the eccentric grand father in You Can't Take It With Y0u. ,... Drarnatics come all in a day's Work to Harry who also mapped out the sports page of the High Post dabbled.in broadcasting, and made up one- eighth of the Rotary finalists. 0 ON THE ATHLETIC FIELD Urging his teammates on to victory by his own enthusiasm and stellar ability merits Fran- cis Accorsi honors as the classes leading athlete. Neither calling signals on the gridiron nor tip- ping a ball into the basket holds any terrors for Kosh. 0 IN THE SHOP Not confining his ability as a craftsman to the shop, John Meholic gave unequalled service HENRY SEREMET JOHN MEHOLIC AGNES WASHINKO BERNARD COSTELLO HARRY GRAHAM Student Council Industrial Commercial Forensics Dramatics as head stage manager .... long hours of hard 0 IN THE ORCHESTRA PIT Work meant nothing to John whose achievements also include membership in the National Honor Society and participatlon in extra-curricular activities. 0 AT THE TYPEWRITER Typing, filing, or taking shorthand, Agnes Washinko set a high mark for distinction in the commercial field .... As the perfect secretary Agnes consistently found her name at the top of the honor roll .... After rounding out her routine work, Agnes lent a hand to High Post activities as Well as taking care of Girls' Club Iinances. 0 WITH THE ORATORS Not content with acclamation as VVestmore- land County's top debater, Bernard Costello walked off with laurels as an extemporaneous speaker and orator ,.... Bernard always kept. his eye on forensic contcsts. holding his audience spellbound even as he broadcast the latest school news over the loud speaking system. 0 AMONG THE BOOKS Despite the fact that DeWitt Kirk gained special distinction for his almost perfect scholas- tic record, his activities also included forensic accomplishments and leadership .... DeWitt's unfaltering responses whether in French class or in solving solid geometry problems qualified him for membership in the National Honor So- ciety. 391 Scaling his oboe from the highest notes to the lowest with the greatest of ease is just part of Carl Shirey's contribution to the school. Reg- ularly an honor student, Carl centered his atten- tion on music, representing Latrobe at no less than five district music festivals during his high school career. 0 WITH SERVICE FOR ALL When it comes to Student Council, Henry Seremet led in service and tireless efforts. From supervising campaigns to acting as master of ceremonies at school dances Henry was always on hand to meet any situation Hank also ranked as an orations finalist. 0 AT HOME In the midst of pots and pans Beatrice Stahl found herself perfectly at home in the Home Making Cottage. Aiding at the special chil- dren's clinic kept Beatrice busy as well as pre- siding over the meetings of the Home Making Club. 0 BEHIND THE COPY DESK A deletion here .... a correction there and Barbara Keltz could watch the mounting pile of High Post copy with satisfaction as she quickly routed one story to the typist and placed the head on another. As High Post editor Barbara was responsible for the attractive, readable news- paper that appeared every other Friday. Junior treasurer Dominic Ciccarelli, president Lawrence Moore and Student Council represent- ative Wilbur Shirey admire their navy and gold class flag as Ora Shaffer, secretary, and Robert McCormick, vice president, comment on the -workmanship. JUNIORS Under t.he direction of President, Larry Moore, the class of '43 got off to a flying start when they made fellow classmates sit up and take notice as junior room 117 won the coveted home-coming day banner. Weathering rain and snow the juniors perched on the top bleacher every Saturday to Watch Jack Harrold and Richard Moersch do a bit of blocking or see Robert Rice, Wilbur Shirey or Bob McCormick intercept a pass, while team- mates John Lattanzio and William Gibson paved the way for a touchdown. When the whistle blew for the half, the junior rose in his seat to watch Bill Dundore as he twirled his glittering batons in the air. Juniors imagined themselves on Broadway for one evening as they Watched classmates Hugh Marron, Marie Strickler, Phyllis Green, Jack Noonan, Rhey Luttner and Antoinette McElroy in their class play, You're Under Suspicion. Leading the second quarter roll, the juniors proved they could be scholarly as well as jolly, and when it came to forensics the juniors were always right on top. Four o'clock would iind Howard Weiss in 204 preparing for his next debate with Derry Township. On moving-up day, as he slid into the seat formerly occupfed by a stately senior, the junior smiled with satisfaction, knowing that he had left behind him a record of accomplishments but he had bigger plans for next year. E401 SOPHCMORES Losing all the shynetss of verdant freshmen, the gay young sophomore enthusiastically began his second year. No longer could he be hailed as greenie for he was now a full Hedged soph- omore, climbing the ladder of high school achieve- ment. After spending a homeroom period elect- ing Suzanne Potter as president, Jeanne Wright, vice presidentg Annette Shirey, secretary: Gladys Milner, treasurer, and William VVest Student. Council representative, he felt ready for another year of accomplishment. Findfng new interests in the activities which surrounded her as a sophomore, Goldie Gravatt assumed the duties of assistani librarian t.o start the second year rolling and Peggy Hall, as the Russian Countess Olga Katrina in the all class play, You Can't Take It With You, who really hailed from Brooklyn bemoanffd the fact that her supposed relatives had lost their money. As the colored man Donald, Edwin Fritz slurred his r's to his heart's content with a realistic Negro ae- cent. Uttering memorized lines or sweeping across the stage aren't the most important ac- tions of the play, vouches John Smith, soph- omore stage manager. Raising the curtain and dimming the lights at the right moment are mighty necessary. Headed by Harold lloverspike, a committee of sophomores decorated the gym for the 'tCas- Knowing that it is their duty to learn their handbook thoroughly, freshmen officers, Ina Shawley. Sylvia Frankel, Donavan Shirey, Ken- neth l'-lodin and Dorothy Dalton set an example for the other members of their class. ual Hop. Under the direction of Miss Blanche Quick, class adviser, they sold soft drinks and ice cream at the Moonlight Serenade. I object might be heard in 204 as Betty Jane Myers, Edwin Fritz and Goldie Gravatt practiced debating after school. Making an 80 yard dash for the winning touchdown or guard- ing so that the opponents eouldn't break through the line were everyday events in the lives of Bill West and John Owens as they helped steer the football team on to victory. Now the sophomores look back over their achievements and say proudly to themselves, We have made two years of progress. FRESHMEN Entering the portals of Latrobe High School for the first time, the freshman, with his hand- book tucked securely under his arm, spent the first few weeks meeting new classmates and get- ting acquainted with the building. Confronting his first problem he chose Donovan Shircy to lead the class as president and Kenneth Flodin to assist as vice president. He named Ina Shaw- ley, secretary-treasurer3 Dorothy Dalton, Student Student Council representative Bill West, President Suzanne Potter and Vice President Jean Wright join Gladys Nlilner, treasurer, and Annette Shirey, secretary, in the hall for an in- formal discussion of sophomore class affairs. 411 Council representative, and Syl- via Frankel, High Post reporter. He plunged into the social world by preparing attractive programs and invitations for the Casual Hop and under the di- rection of Miss Mary Reed, class adviser, made posters advertis- ing the Moonlight Serenade. He proudly watched Carol Mc- Kenna as Alice, the young daughter who falls in love: Elea- nor Mania as Essie, the dancer, and Shirley Kregline as Pene- lope the mother who paints and writes, sweep through their parts in the all class play, You Can't Take It With You. When the band or orchestra performed in assembly the freshman leaned over the balcony rail to better see nine musical-minded class- mates. The annual Kiwanis Ex- temporaneous C o n t e s t offered him his first opportunity to real- ly compete against seniors, as Jean Dibble and Patricia Cunningham emerged victorious from the eliminations to represent their class in the finals with Patricia being selected as the winner of the freshman class. With the year just about over, aided by Miss Catherine Netzlof, freshmen began preparing the eighth grade day play for future greeniesf' Mark Funk Jr. filled the role of Wildcat Willie who had every one thinking he was a little off the beam, because he wanted to trade his new baseball bat for a doll. The situation was explain- ed when it was discovered that Willie was barter- ing on a ticket for a refrigerator so he would have something to give his mother for her birth- day. Other aspiring dramatists in the production were Sally Depree, Joan Stumpf, Patricia Cun- ningham and Carl Markiewicz. Emerging victorious over six upperclassmen, Margaret Kociatyn upheld the honor of the class by having her name and class engraved on the silver cup when she won first place in Student Council's annual spelling bee. Taking second place rank on the honor roll during the first and second quarters members of the class of '45 placed 2063 of their class on the honor roll at the end of the second semeste1'. As the year ended the freshman felt he had accom- plished one major objective-he had become ac- quainted. THE CLASS FIRST ROW: Bvrns, Brookbank J. Aukerman, D.

WORKING TCDGETHER Identification of Latrobean pictures and senior panels keep Susanne Larimer, Jane Mickey, Agnes Washinko, Nancy Mickey and Shirley Doverspike busy, while in the background Charles Thompson and Leonard Mattingly check the sports page proof. Eyes turn anxiously toward the clock-eyes of thirty-three staff members who would rather write than eat, read copy than drink a coke, or who get a kick out of soliciting adsg eyes that gleam with the light of journalism-even as deadline almost becomes a dreadline. Aspiring journalists find their haven first as sophomores when they learn that every lead must answer the five w's, who, what, why, when and where.

Entering room 118 for his course in Journalism II, the newly found staff member beamed proudly yet hopefully as he embarked on his chosen path. Sale of over 900 subscriptions gave the journalist added con- fidence, and as the first issue of the High Post got under way he tackled his assignment with fervor. News Writers looked wonderingly at the white assignment slip handed to them by editor-in-chief, Barbara Keltz, not exactly under- standing where to f'nose for the information. Harry Graham, sports editor, sagaciously meas- ured the sports stories so every assignment will have the correct number of words, while his chief assistant, Leonard Mattingly, looked on. Feature editor Jean Moore figured out just what E50 :FGGU Btilldleiwns each feature or each editorial should be about as columnist Sally Bair lined up biographies for The Bair Truth. After the first issue was in the hands of the subscribers everyone relaxed and pointed with pride to his name in the mast- head or to his story.

BOTTOM: Debators Richard Hulton, Bernard Costello, DeWitt Kirk and Howard Weiss inspect the cup their speaking ability won in the Big Eight Conference contest at Charleroi. Whether the student agrees with Tennyson's philosophy that, It isn't what a man says, it's how he says it, he has plenty of opportunity in the forensic department to display his speaking ability-both as to what he says and the way he goes about it. Orations affords opportunity to sway the audience through eloquence and mas- tery of words, while debating requires persuasion and clear thinking. In extemporaneous speaking, the student demonstrates his ability to speak with little preparation. Declamations, Shakes- pearean reading and poetry reading provide a chance for the speaker to interpret wo1'ks of others. With the opening of the second semester, 33 seniors turned their attentions to the Rotary Ora- torical Contest eliminations. On the evening of February 12, the eight finalists competed in the high school auditorium. Pleading for a Latrobe recreational center, Richard Hulton, through his Diamonds In The Roughf' carried off the covet- ed Iirst prize. The Peace of Death, denouncing a peace on the dictator's terms, copped second place for Frank Davis, while Jean Moore, winner PUBLIC SPEAKING of third prize, praised the common man in You Are One. Henry Serernet took honorable men- tion with Faith For Living.

The debaters saw increased interscholastic action this year with the return of the school to the Penn-- sylvania Forensic and Music League and boasted a record showing 8072 of their contests in the victory column. In the regular Big Eight Con- ference schedule, the debaters pulled through with nine victories, five draws and no defeats. Winding up the Big Eight activities, DeWitt Kirk and Bernard Costello, debating affirmatively, came through victorious at the conference iinals sponsored by Allegheny College at Charleroi in March. Out of four tournaments during the year the team pulled through to win two. At West View last October, the debatcrs tied for first, and they also copped the Bentleyville Ore- gon Style tournament in January. In the Mc- Keesport tourney, the team won three out of six, while they advanced to the semi-finals in the County Tournament at Greensburg before being eliminated by St. Vincent Prep. As spring approached, forensic aspirants looked to the Woman's Club poetry, declamation and Shakespeare reading contests. Selected from 25 speakers who turned out for eliminations, March 17, 18 and 19, in Room 217, the two final- ists for each contest competed in the high school auditorium on the evening of April 10. Coming through victorious in the poetry reading section, Betty Crapp presented the required poem, O World by Santayana along with her selection, Sydney Lanier's Marshes of Glynn. Copping Brings Out Champion Debaiers And Craiors declamation honors, Howard VVeiss delivered, We Hold These Truths, the Bill of Rights Day Speech by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Winning individual honors in forensic com- petition outside the school, De Witt Kirk copped the state championship in the American Legion Oratorical Contest with his oration on the Con- stitution, 'fit Speaks, at Harrisburg, March 29. In the Regional Finals at Philadelphia two weeks later, De Witt took second place.

Fooilighis Shine As i New Personalities The houselights go dimfa hush comes over the audience and here's the play, -as the cur- tain swishes open on another dramatic season in Latrobe High School, offering the student an opportunity to create self-confidence and develop his personality. As the curtain slid back on the initial pro- duction of the year, the hilarious comedy You Can't Take It With You, Harry Graham as Grandfather Vanderhof found time to untangle his granddaughter's love affairs, and still keep his hobby of collecting rattlesnakes up to date. When not dodging a shower of Grandpa's darts, Shirley Krigline as Mother Penelope spattered paint upon her canvas, while Leonard Mattingly as Mr. De Pinna, the Willing subject of the por- trait, graciously uncovered the graceful contours of his lower limbs to assume the pose of the Discus Thrower. Carol McKenna as Alice Syc- amore and Larry Moore as Tony Kirby, the bosses son, provided the love interest. Ze Russian brogue of Boris Kalenkov portrayed by Angelo Taiani and the typical dialect of the col- ored maid, Rheba, added a dash of color to the action of the play.

With the coming of the yulet.ide season, Mr. Fred A. Ringose and Mr. James R. Beatty, com- bined their efforts to present the cantata, Babe of Bethlehem. The soft melodious voices of Girls' Chorus H and Boys' Chorus drifted from the orchestra pit to provide the musical back- ground for the story of the birth of the Saviour. Framed by the light of Angels the Virgin mother Mary portrayed by Jennie Matko, knelt before the babe wise men, kings and shepherds to offer their gifts to the child. Under the student directorship of Dorothy Greubel, the juniors launched their dramatic ef- forts with the production of Your Under Sus- picion. Complications tirst arose when the beautiful young star of Broken Hearts was murdered. Immediately Ilugh Marron as the in- spector, placed everyone under suspicion-includ- ing the audience. With green skirt, bag and even a green umbrella which was constantly being shoved under the nose of the inspector, Marie Strickler portrayed the Irish girl who saw the murder committed from her seat in the balcony. 5 -,.,,.,..t. .W , ...4 I., -a , g.4u.44:anm:a.Q.a,aAeie,4s4.1.am:a4a.Nsssg.aLAa:9rlu'.'m.ft.--r4.,.eQ.,g ja A , Inspector I'm a very sick woman, kept issuing from the auditorium as Ursula Spicher, a gray haired old lady, among the audience, demanded permission to leave before the murder was solved. Doing their part to make the dramatic pro- ductions a success, the various committees scur- ried around completing last minute duties before the opening curtain. Searching for two kittens or antique gas lamps may be among the duties of the property committee while costume com- mittee members search frantically for a pair of tight-fitting knee britches. As the curtain call is given, members of the make-up committee give grandpa's mustache a final pat before he hurries on stage While behind the gray curtain the sound effects committee prepares to rattle a sheet of tin to produce the sound of thounder. Playing an essential role in the unseen part of the dramatic productions, John Meholic and his four assistant stage hands, Ivan Lashinsky, Edward Laposky, Robert Lowden and John Smith add the final touch to the play as they set the stage and manipulate the light switches to give the desired effects. Provided with eyebrow pencils, powder puffs and grease paint, Clara Nlelichar, Sylvia Frankel and other members of the make-up committee with confident strokes and dabs, transform Leonard Mattingly into the elderly Mr. DePin- na for You Can't Take lt With You.

Few of the enthusiastic spectators realized the prep- arations which must be made for each game. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the eighth period, members of the band, under the supervision of Mr. Fred A. Ringrose, prac- ticed intricate formations and drills at the ath- letic Held, in anticipation of Saturday's game. Thus, it is with little wonder, that the compli- cated formation of a bicycle, with its seats, wheels and pedals, was accomplished with such ease and accuracy to the tune of A Bicycle Built For Two. At Christmas time, 'neath the soft stir of lights and the wonderous Nativity scene, voices swelled from the orchestra pit, as members of Chorus II sang familiar Christmas carols and provided the necessary musical background for the cantata, The Babe of Bethlehem. In March Chorus II entertained at the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, and presented a program of songs to the student body in several assembly periods. Chorus I students looked forward to the time when they might become members of the advanced group. Yo-ho-ho! sang boys of the school who took advantage of t.he opportuni- ty to learn songs of the years, including sea chanties, patriotic and folk songs in Boy's Chor- us. They met each week and did their share of helping to round out the individual musical career. t'Are you willing to house a student musician from a south west Pennsylvania high school, dur- ing the Festival to be held here in Latrobe, March 26-28? questioned Mr. Ringrose of the student body. Shortly thereafter, questionaires were distributed, and homes were soon available for the 125 t.o 150 students who participated in the concerts held Friday and Saturday evenings. The students of Latrobe High School had still another opportunity to learn appreciation of music, as they saw outstanding music students from various schools throughout the state take part in these concerts. The program consisted of classical and semi-classical selections. Mr. Stanley T. Fleming director of music at lVIillvale High School was manager of the Festival, while Mr. Eric W. G. Leidzen, arranger for New' York's famed Goldman Band, was guest conductor. I57l Eight local musicans gained the honor of being selected to play with the group. These included Catherine Adams and Clara Melichar, baritones, Joanne Metz and Athlene Hays, clarinets, Larry Moore, drums, John Hugus, trombone, Barney Hellferich, tuba, and Carl Shirey, oboe. Every- one in the music department was called on to do his share as welcoming committees greeted the visitors on their arrival and turned them over to others to make their stay in Latrobe interest- ing and enjoyable. The individual student watched proudly as six members of the orchestra journeyed to Bald- win Township High School to participate in the South West District Orchestra Festival. Those who took part included Howard Weiss, Carl Shirey, Frank Porembka, Catherine Adams, John Hugus, and Larry Moore. Even when the orches- tra presents a program in assembly, or entertains between acts of the three major dramatic produc- tions of the year, the student realizes that here too, is another indispensible organization of the school.

Knitting for defense-studying foreign cus- toms-exploring in the field of science-learning to develop pictures-serving the school-discus- sing sound economic and business principles- keeping victory gardens -represents but a few of the activities of Latrobe High School's organ- izations, each of which has, in addition to its primary aims, the purpose of teaching students to be 'icitizens of democracy. In all clubs and service groups the evidence of increased interest in national affairs and cooperative achievement enabling each home soldier to do his part was apparent. In the Homemaking Club, girls waived the usual programs and devoted the iirst several meetings to learning to knit for defensegv in the Chemistry and Science groups, members perform- ed experiments and discussed present-day scien- tific developments, while Latin and French club members studied the eiect other countries have L58 had on the cultural development of the United States. The school service organizations, the Safet.y and Fire Patrols, Student Service, Librar- ians and Ushers actually practiced democracy, by learning to help their fellow students and to appreciate the value of eiiicient, capable leader- ship. Il est a present l'heure a laquelle nous devons commencer notre seance, declares DeWitt Kirk, French club president, as he opens another meeting of the Latrobe High School French Club. As the meeting progresses, members, lead in song by Miss Mary Reed, French teacher and club adviser, sing the national anthem of France, La Marseillaisef' After the song, French stu- dents belonging to the club get a practical glimpse of la belle France. The meeting is conducted entirely in French and affords an op portunity to become more fluent. During the course of the meetings, reports on French holi- days, customs, national heroes and architecture, as well as skits and singing of French folk-songs, occupy the center of interest. The Latin club, one of the oldest organiza- tions in the school, is called to order by Praetor Stephen Sarmata. Under the advisership of Miss Adeline E. Reeping, the Latin club, in col- laboration with Latin classes, publishes Gems Togataj' a newspaper which contains in addition to stories, jokes and incidents which occur in Latin classes an outstanding story from Roman history. Gene Togata, which is also the name of the club, presented an assembly skit taken from the travels of Ulysses, proving to the audience that even ancient history can be interesting. Promotion of interest in science, is the way Miss Catherine Netzlof, Science Club adviser, describes the purpose of this organization which is composed entirely of freshman general science students. Presiding over the club this year was Sylvia Frankel. During the regular monthly meetings, when all business is concluded, a dis- cussion of scientific subjects or a demonstration experiment ensues. The performance of experi- ments, where it is at all possible, is in the hands of the club members themselves. In addition to the regular monthly meetings of this group, each year, club members endeavor to visit places of scientific interest in Latrobe and vicinity, such as the woolen mill and Latrobe hospital. Should there be an unwarranted explosion in the building, all eyes naturally turn toward thc chemistry room and if it takes place after COMMERCIAL CLUB FIRST ROW: Shick. Bates, H.

Interests Ancl Abilities Egphhglggcler Skilled Guidance regular school hours, it is very likely that some member of the Chemistry Club was practicing a demonstration experiment for the next club meet- ing or assembly program. Presiding officer Harry Graham calls this organization together as it functions under the guidance of Mr. Ralph D. Manon, instructor of chemistry. Discussions of problems in the world of chemistry are the order of the day when this group of enthusiasts get together for their meetings to perform dem- onstrations that reveal the unusual side of the world of science. If a prize went to the group which has done the most work in nature study during club meet- ings, the award would have to go to the Future Farmers of America, for this group of boys ranks high in pursuit of knowledge of nature. Composed entirely of members of agriculture classes, this club takes as its work the lighter side of agriculture when the various members undertake projects. Donald Johnston assumed the leadership of this organization and developed the year's work under the direction of Mr. George Keener, instructor of agriculture. One of the biggest projects undertaken by this club was the building ol' an 800 chick-brooder for experimen- tal use. Members also entered their projects in various fairs and contests held in this locality. Pearl one, knit two, pearl one, knit two, is a familiar phrase to girls in Home Economics club, for one of the most prominent activities of the Homemaking club was learning to knit, under the direction of Miss Emily Vosburgh, club su- pervisor. In any spare moment, the girls pulled out their yarn and needles, manipulating both with surprising facility. Of course, the girls didn't devote all their time to knitting, for they wo1'ked with Beatrice Stahl, club president, studying proper methods of setting a table for breakfast, luncheon and dinner as well as learn- ing the correct procedure of setting tables for special teas or parties, Captain William Rakotis explans to the mem- bers of the safety patrol the correct method of holding the flags.

If you hear a click-click and then the sound of running feet, you may be fairly certain that you have unwittingly been the subject for a snapshot of one of the 15 candid camera fans who are members of the Camera club., Chances are that the culprit will elude you, but President, Joan Saxman may tell you who has developed it in the school's dark room, and with rare luck, you may even be allowed to see the picture. ln all probability the snapshot will be used to gain admittance to a club meeting, Where, under the dlrection of Miss Mary Louise McBride, faculty adviser, the members study all phases of photo graphy from taking of the picture to developing and printing it. To create interest in commercial subjects, to encourage a social contact and to furnish a means of gaining contact with other schools and business organizations, are, accordlng to the Commercial club constitution, the primary rea- sons for the organization and establishment of this club After President Rudolph Puchan calls the meeting to order, the secretary and other oflicers make their monthly reports. Upon con- clusion of the club's business meeting, the pro- gram, usually consisting of personality pointers, talks on the technique of handling people and tips on salesmanship, provide an added insight into the commercial Held. Mr. H. E. Stover, club adviser, believes the group's greatest value lies in its bringing members into closer contact with the world of commerce and business and foster- ing an interest in commercial subjects. Garbed in robes of flaming red, Dorothy Steiner, National Honor Society president, wel- comes a group of prospective members at the annual Honor Society initiation.

Following these ad- dresses, DeWitt Kirk as Warden of Scholarship, and John Meholic as Warden of Service talk to the group. After further addresses by Warden of Leadership Babara Keltz and Warden of Char- acter Jean Moore, the torch-bearer lights the initiatc's torches and Mr. M. N.

Club MeeiinSfERddIII?nlIQ n pporiunities Girls' Club adviser, and Georganna Emery, pres- ident, try to afford members at each monthly meeting of the Girls' Club. One act plays hold the members, interest one month, while at the next meeting they can expect singing by talented members or instrumental ensembles by girls who have musical ability. Along with their regular activities, girls also endeavor to present at least one assembly program, and this year they offer- ed the Thanksgiving Day pageant t'Th:inksgiving in the Past and Present which brought more than 75 club members before their student audi- ence. lnformally organized for training in speech work and improved enunciation, forty sophomore girls, who comprise the Choral Readers, meet weekly under the supervision of Miss Mabel Lind- ner, English instructor. In addition to reading for their own enjoyment, the group presented an assembly program which included both group and solo readings, a number of which were provided with a musical background. An added feature of this year's activity was the appearance of this K6 group at the forensic contests sponsored by the Latrobe W0men's Club. Dusting books and shelves, arranging mis- placed volumes, aiding students looking for ref- erence material, represents only a few of the activities and duties which student librarians undertake. In addition to the work involved, so- phomore, junior or senior girls, who volunteer for Work in the library, must sacrifice some study-halls and must be willing to came in early in the morning and stay until five o'clock in the evening if necessary. Being a librarian is a full-time job according to Miss Irene H. Mertz, faculty adviser, and Jean Carnahan, head librar- ian, and her 36 assistants will verify this fact. When the fire-warning bell rings for a fire- drill, and as students file rapidly out various exits, the school's most recently established ser- vice organization, the Fire Patrol, hurries into action The 35 members of this group are each required to report to their appointed post and to stay there until receiving further directions from the captain of their group. It is the duty of each of the four lloor captains, seniors Abraham Khorey, Jack llflurray. Harry Digenfs and Monty Montjar to report. to Mr. George D. Rise, faculty adviser, to get o1'ders to relay to individual mem- bers stationed on the tloor in his charge. ln this manner school authorities believe a Dre may be held in check until the arrival of the Latrobe Iire-department.. With the ringing of the first bell in the morning, the members of Latrobe High School's Safety Patrol swing into action. Captain Wil- liam Rakotis takes up his position along the curb, and his warning whistle serves as a signal to mark the approach of tratlic. Patrolmen swing their flags to bar the road to pedestrians until such time as the crossing can be made in safety. This organization, which functions under the guidance of Mr. Herbert E. Hoerr serves four times each day the guardian of the safety of students as they go to and from school. This group also had as an additional duty this year the responsibility of directing pedestrian tratlic dur- ing all air raid drills. A comparatively new organization, the Stud- ent Service, established three years ago, has prov- cd to be one of the most important service groups, in that it protects the property of students and aids any visitors to Latrobe High School.

In addition to the persons who occupy posts in the hall, the eight senior girls who assist the school nurse, Miss Florence Lenz, in the health-room, are also members of this organization. This year, the group selected as its president, Thomas O'- Rourke, a member of the class of 1942. Remember, always be courteous and pleas- ant! With these words, Miss Catherine Netzlof, science teacher, concluded her introductory mes- sage to the Latrobe high school ushering corps. Courteous and pleasant characterizes Latrobe's girls in white, for these 36 junior and senior students, willingly devoted time to aid at special events held in the school auditorium. Aside from the regular duties of seating patrons and passing out programs at school plays and forensic events, they also assisted at such programs as the South- western Band Festival, and at other events which occurred during the school year. The ushers organized this year with Betty Tosh and Betty Barkley, seniors, directing activities on the main Hoor and in the balcony, respectively.

Trains InSq'aLHDEib,H'n Lhncemeni Upholding the ideals of student government and training individuals to become leaders, Stud- ent Council representatives began the new year with one thought in mind-to be of service to the school. Wasting no time, each Counciler immedi- ately began the traditional duties which he must assume as a representative of his classmates. Down in front, greeted him as he dodged in and out among the football bleachers every Sat- urday offering his tasty wares to the throngs of famished fans Soft lights and sweet music, transformed the gym into a modern ballroom, as he watched students glide smoothly across the floor at the dance he had helped to arrange. Bas- ketball season again offered him an opportunity to display his super-salesmanship as he left his seat at the half to sell eskimo pies. The Student Council is happy to present, rang out as he in- troduced one of the nine special assemblies spon- sored by his group or one of the regular assem- blies. M-y-r-li-a-d -and Margaret Kociatyn beat the bell to come through the finals of the Coun- cils seventh annual Spelling Bee to her name engraved on the cup. l.G5l Continung their practice of making worthy contributions to the school, this year after view- ing demonstrations of various machines, Council purchased a Victor moving picture projector, equipped with a booster and a loud speaker for the auditorium. Encouraging student interest in cultural works of art, Council presented the works of Norwood MacGilvry and VV. P. A. artists in a series of art show in the library during the year. Further fostering the choice of students, the or- ganization added two oil paintings Still Life by Martha M. Patterson and Fishing Boats at Restf' by Frederich Franck from the 17th an- nual exhibit of the Associated Artists of Pitts- burgh presented by Miss Mary Himler in March to the 24 already in the permanent collection that graces the corridor walls. Climaxing all the achievements of the year, Council members along with oflicers, Henry Sere- met, president, Joanne Metz, vice president, Ann DeFlavio, secretary, Waldeno O'Barto, treasurer and Mr. James R. Beatty, adviser, relaxed for one evening at the annual banquet, knowing that they had again upheld Council's tradition of service to the schoolf' SCHCDOL LIFE... Reflects A Year's Achievement Its been more than an eventful year, say the host of students who took part in the busy round of activities that filled 1942 to overflowing. In October, home rooms busily planned their floats around the theme, Sportmanship, to enter in the annual parade. Junior room 117 won first prize by showing that My Sister and I Like La- trobe High. Both entertainment and education entered extra-curricular life when Student Coun- cil brough nine special assemblies, including mu- sic, plays, travelogues, magic and dancing, to the student body. Also every Friday morning the Columbia School of the Air broadcast provided a subject and material for debate on current world problems. Boys representing various school ac- tivities, who attended Kiwanis meetings during the year included Henry Seremet, Angelo Taiani. Myron Digenis, Harry Graham, and John Hugus. Other boys were John Meholic, Francis Accorsi, and Bernard Costello. Later in the year, an evaluating committee from the Middle Atlantic Association of Second- ary Schools and Colleges rated Latrobe High School well up among other schools of its type. The committee was particularly impressed by the variety of activity, pleasing school personality and complete equipment. Miss Martha Himler brought her annual selection of pictures from Carnegie Art Show to Latrobe's school system. From the exhibit, Student Council chose Still Life by Martha M. Patterson, and Fishing Boats At Rest by Frederick Frank, while the Hundred Friends of Art bought J and L's by Theo Allmendinger and From Land and Sea by Wilfred A. Radio, to add to the permanent collec- tion in the corridors. With 150 musicians and their directors registering, Latrobe High School played host to the P.S.M.A.'s annual Southwest band festival in March. William Dundore, baton twirler for the Latrobe High School band, traveled to several neighboring schools to demonstrate his abilities. Bill also highlighted several innovations in a regular as- E661 sembly. Dorothy Lechner brought several of her dancing pupils to the stage in two assemblies which followed a patriotic theme. For her first place news story, written from material supplied by the Annual Quill and Scroll News Contest, Joan Saxman won a gold medal. Barbara Keltz, High Post Editor, won an appointment to the advisory board of the national magazine, Stu- dent Life, in recognition for superior work in publishing a high school newspaper.

GRIDIRON Summer vacation seemed all too long for the 64 football candidates who anxiously awaited the call to report to Coach R. V. Wild a week before school began last fall for grid training. Calisthenics and scrimmages in the heat of an August sun toughened the warriors into a hard hitting, smooth running machine which forged through a schedule of six AA games, including New Kensington, which made its debut this year. Supplementing the coaching staff, Mr. R. D. Manon joined Mr. M. E. Rizzo and Mr. S. G. Rummel on the brain trust. The mercury rose to 753 when the Orange- men opened their season against a heavier squad from Penn on September 13 to win 26-0. Earle Rice nabbed a spiraling punt and staged a 30 yard run-back that made possible a center plunge by Al Hlavsa for the initial grid tally of the year. Carl Kenly booted for the extra point. Coming back in the second frame, Wilbur Shirey GREATS carried the pigskin 20 yards setting up a pass to Kenly for a second counter. Francis Accorsi, captain, scored from the one immediately after the half with the conversion by Dick Moersch. The final tally, which set the scoreboard at 26-0 for the Wildmen, gave Bill West the spotlight in a goal line drive off guard. Hurst had Latrobe fans worried on the fol- lowing Saturday when the visitors hammered out the first touchdown, but Bob Rice fell on a faulty pass from center over the goal line and Bill West accounted for the extra point to set the anxious fans back in their seats. Carl Kenly, alert to every opportunity, smashed across from his post at end and sewed up the game for the Wildmen when he fell on a muifed punt to complete the final tally of 13-6. Homecoming Day dawned bright and clear on September 2.7, providing a perfect setting for the traditional celebration that found an invading Norwin eleven providing the third entry in the Orange victory column, 27-0. Dur- ing the first period, fans waited expectantly while the t.eams see-sawed back and forth. With mo- ments to go in the second half Shirey snatched the pass-back and heaved a touchdown pass to Kenly, who pranced over the goal line. Enter- ing the second half, Shirey again showed Norwin his heels as he rang up a six-pointer with Kenly tossing to Hlavsa for the conversion. Accorsi and Earle Rice both added a helping hand in the fourth to complete the 27-0 victory. Campaigning abroad for the first time in the season, the Orange brigadiers splashed through a muddy field to gain a 12-0 triumph over a con- fident New Kensington eleven. Throughout the first period both teams struggled to get their feet under them for an offensive drive, but the Wild crew broke out of the mire late in the second quarter to hang up a solitary touchdown. Late in the game Ken High's machine gained momentum as it took to the air, but West threw in the wrench when he intercepted a pass on the 17 and sailed 83 yards for the clincher. A grim determination mounted in the minds of the players on October 11, and a record crowd of 8.000 jammed every available inch of the athletic field to see a superior Altoona squad sub- due the Wildcats 20-0. A hush fell over the vast crowd as a hard working home team held the Railroaders scoreless until two minutes be- fore half time when the pile driving Altoona backs punched across two touchdowns. Another brace of touchdowns in the second half pushed the Lion score to 20 before the final whistle, toppling the Latrobe gridders from the ranks of the unbeaten. October 18 provided the gridders with a day' of rest prior to meeting the county champs at Greensburg on October 25 when the Brown Raid- ers rang up a 21-13 win. Stepping off to a fast start, Shirey packed the ball over from the 12 yard line on a wide sweep for the first tally. Hlavsa backed up the lead with the conversion, but the Raiders retalliated by ringing up seven points for themselves following the kickoff. The battle raged evenly until mid-way in the third period when Accorsi plunged over from the one yard line to break the deadlock. The Brown and VVhite reorganized forces and staged a comeback in the fourth to total the 21-13 victory. Playing havoc on a soggy field, the Wildcats registered an 18-13 triumph over a determined Wilkinsburg squad on November 1 in one of the VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD FIRST ROW: Kenly, Truxall, Fyalkowski, Accorsi, Osborne, Hlavsa, Steininger.

BOTTOM: A faked kick deep in their own territory earns the Orange and Black a first down or' a wide end sweep. greatest defensive games of the season. Captain Accorsi dug deep into enemy territory on a 40 yard jaunt in the first period, before Earle Rice banged off tackle for the first Cat tally. Driving 53 yards after half time, the Orangemen set the stage for a sweep around end with Dave Truxall carrying the mail. Late in the final stanza Shirey heaved a long aerial to Accorsi to account for the 18 points. Preceded by a pageant on liberty presented by the band, the traditional rival, Derry Town- ship, invaded the local stronghold and emerged with a 6-0 victory over the Wildcats on Armistice Day. Defense was the predominating note as the Eagles completed the only scoring run of the encounter when Joe slipped in to snare a pass, juggle it on his fingertips for what seemed min- utes and then streak down the sidelines for the only score of the game. Continuing his practice of treating membe1's of the varsity football squad and cheer leading staff to a Pitt encounter, Mr. Roy C. McKenna, president of the Vanadium--Alloy Steel Company, provided the '41 eleven opportunity of Witness- ing the Pitt-Penn State battle on Saturday, Nov- ember 22. At the Bearcat Stadium the same afternoon four senior members of the Latrobe eleven wrote the final chapter to their scholastic gridiron careers as they starred in the initial Lions Club East-West game. Vince Battaglia, Albert Hlavsa, Carl Kenly and Mike Guidice car- ried the local colors. The Hlavsa-Kenly passing duo gave stimulus to the West attack as the four Wildmen spurred their team on to a 13-0 vic- tory. As a reward for bringing the team through a tough schedule of games 20 turf heroes and two senior managers received letters and certificates in an assembly program to climax the year's grid activities. Seniors who received honors were Cap- tain Francis Accorsi, Walter Osborne, Earle Rice, Carl Kenly, Albert Hlavsa, and Mike Guid- During the final practice before the Hurst game, Coach R. V.

Juniors Jack Harrold Richard Moersch, Bob Rice, Wilbur Shirey and Bob McCormick received letters, as did John Lattanzio and William Gibson. Charles Fagan, Bill West and Jack Owens represent.ed the sophomores, and Jim Ogden and Bob Patterson received awards for their duties on the manager- ial staff. Other managers who performed the many tasks compulsory to the successful completion of the football schedule are juniors Kay Meyers and George Newmeyer. Sophomores members were Henry Kasprowicz and Bill Laughlin While Hilary Noel, Richard Dell and Raymond Mills filled out the freshman rolls. Their jobs range from cleaning uniforms and sorting equipment to lining the field and carrying the water bucket. Another colorful volume of Latrobe's football history closed with a record of five victories to but three set backs, and such scholastic turf heroes as Accorsi, Truxall, Kenly, Rice and Hlavsa passed from the scholastic scene to their places as American citizens. Writing the ofiicial finis to the 1941 grid season, the Athletic Department sponsored the annual football banquet, Wednesday, December 10, at the Country Club. Moving pictures of games held the attention of band members and cheer leaders as well as the honored grid stars. Mr. George F. Brown, member of the board of education, kept the program moving from his position as toastmaster and Mr. F. A. Ringrose, music instructor, led the group singing. This is the first year no guest. speaker has been featured as a part of the program.

V. Wild's initial call for can- didates to begin work moulding a team to carry the orange and black colors throughout the 1941- 42 hardwood season. As practices progressed, Coach Wild singled out 10 representatives for varsity berths and set up a junior varsity system to include those under-classmen who showed signs of developing into prospective regulars. In intra-squad games staged prior to the opening gun of the season, Coach Wild experi- mented with various combinations as he pitted his prospective regulars against the other varsity representatives. Bob Rice jumped center along with Walter Hazlett, while John Pagnanelli, Frank Fyalkowski, Carl Adams and Bill West carried out forward assignments. Francis Ac- corsi, Bob McCormick, Harry Fraunholtz and Rudy Puchan split up guarding duties as they put into effect new defense tactics. New Kensington's red and black quintet drew the curtains on the 1941-42 scholastic hos- tilities as they turned back the invading Wildcats on a 21-10 decision. In a return engagement on the home floor the orange and black forced the Ken Hi representatives to a fourth quarter rally to win the close 26-22 decision. Coach Wild's hoopsters racked up victory number one when they edged Penn High's quintet, 24-22 on the latter's floor. Bob Rice threw on the coals as he chalked up 12 counters. Hurst High provided the Wildcats with their first home victory and second in a row as they fell before incessant hoop hitting, 48-10. Frank Accorsi led his teammates to the triumph as he chalked up 15 markers. Bent on marking up their third straight vic- tory, the Orange juggernaut next tangled with a star studded Alumni five and hammered their way to a 42-3.3 overtime decision. Frank Fyal- kowsky's doubledecker decided the tilt. Derry Township's Eagles came next in line as they withered under accurate passing and spectacular hoop hitting on Latrobe's hardwood, 30-22. Dis- playing a less aggressive type of ball the Wild- VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD FIRST ROW-Fraunholtz, Fyalkowski, Puchan, Adams Accorsi, Pagnanelli. SECOND ROW-Hunter, West, Rice, Hazlett, McCor- mick, Brookbank. 1741 men barely eked out a 27--26 count in a return match on the Golden Eagles Hoor. Bill West led a. game winning rally as he counted 11 points. With five straight non-conference games tucked safely in the victory ledger, the Wildcats tangled with Uniontown's strong five on the home court. Tight defensive play and shots which failed to go in marked the fray as the Wildmen tasted their first league defeat, 13-10. Another league setback was recorded against the Wild- men as Jeannette's Jayhawks unleashed a scor- ing spree to down the Orangemen, 39-29. The first quarter shaped up in Latrobe's favor, but Como unloosed a hoop hitting spree which netted 13 points and the ball game for his teammates. Bob Rice accounted for 10 of the Wildcat's tallies. League victory number one became official as the Orange hardwoodmen grabbed a first quar- ter lead and pounded across a 31-23 victory over Scottdale on the home hardwood. Pagnanelli showed the way to the Wildcats as he dumped in 11 tallies. After battling a snarling Coker five on almost equal terms for two frames, the Wild- men were unable to stem a 26 point third quarter outburst as they suffered their third straight league setback, 513441 on an invasion of foreign territory. The Wildmen marked down victory number two as they toppled Norwin, 37-26. Pag- nanelli pushed in 12 counters.

Walton touch- ed off the spark for the winner's victorious ex- plosion. Taking a breather from league compe- tition, the Wildcats played a return match at Hurst and racked up another con-conference vic- tory, 28-16. Continuing in the defeat column, the Latrobe hardwoodmen dropped a runaway game at Uniontown 49-17. Another victory was chalked up for the Wildmen, when Jeannette fell before the local's onslaught 34-27. Scottdale turned the trick on Latrobe as they trounccd the Wildcats 42-24 for the locals third straight set- back. Although defeat still dogged the Wildcats, a scoring punch came to light as the Steelers forced the Cokers to a second half rally to win 44-39. Bob Rice again hit the scoring lane as he marked up 12 counters. Norwin provided the Wildcats with another victory as they fell 35-30. Drawing the curtain on the league season the Wildcats again fell before Greensburg's offense 31-16 with neither team showing an overload of scoring ability. In assembly, Mr. M. N. Funk, principal, awarded certificates to seniors, Francis Accorsi, IV 74 5 John Pagnanelli, Carl Adams and Frank Fyal- kowski, while two other seniors, Harry Fraun- holtz and Rudolph Puchan received letters. Two sport awards for both football and basketball went to juniors Bob McCormick and Bob Rice and sophomore Bill West. Oflicial close to the hardwood season came when the members of the squad were treated to fowls of a different type than those to which they were accustomed at Shirey's Farm. Under the watchful eye of Mr. J. C. Guild, new jayvee mentor, the Wildkittens trained for the gruelling schedule looming ahead. Coach Guild's charges ventured into competition as they succumbed to New Kensington's strong five, 24- 10. With defeat still dogging their steps, the jayvees dropped the return match with the Ken five, 24-13. Victory number one went to the little Wildcats on a foreign invasion as they top- ped Hurst, 31-15. Brookbank led the way with a 14 point total. Tangling next with the junior alumni quintet, the orange pups with Keene lead- ing the pack carried off their second victory as they trounced the graduates 36-32. Derry Town- ship brought the locals up short as they pounded A jump ball sends jayvee Palmer high into the air in an effort to tip it to his teammates as Keeno tensely looks on. out a 14-13 decision. Hunter led a rally which fell just two points short of victory. The Eagle jayvees made it two in a row as they overcame the Orange Men 25-21. Swinging into the Section IX preliminaries the jayvees dropped a runaway 36-11 decision to Uniontown's five. Jeannette overcame the little Steelers next as the jayhawk quintet triumphed 22-15. Scottdale overcame the pack next, as they scored a 20-16 victory. The Shamrocks, a senior live, staged a fourth quarter rally to down the local jayvees, 37-23. Kenneth Palmer dumped in nine of the Wildkittens aggregate. Greensburg handed the Wildkittens another defeat 22-13, before the Guildmen hit the victory lane over Hurst, 29-12. Macey showed the jayvees the way with an eight point tally. Uniontown destroyed the orange and black victory hopes as they downed the locals next, 42-19. Jeannette rolled the Steelers back on their heels for the second time as they triumphed 17-16. Scottdale and Connellsville added two more de- feats to the Wildcat record books as they downed the spitting Wildkittens by 23-10 and 23-15 scores, and Greensburg brought the season to a close as they edged out the Wildcat live by a 23-13 count. And so closed another season on the hard- wood for Latrobe's Orange and Black dribblers. The varsity wound up in fifth place in the Section IX league race, coming out on top in four of their contests and having eight entered in red in the scoring ledger for a percentage of .333. Bob Rice led the pack in scoring as he dumped in 88 points in 12 league contests from his post at center. This mark also earned him seventh place in the ranks of Section IX scorers, the only Latrobe basketeer to appear among the first ten. Senior John Pagnanelli followed close behind to take second place among local scorers, with sophomore Bill West pulling up third to give the under- classmen a look in. With graduation taking six of his varsity, Coach Wild will still have three lettermen, Rice, McCormick, and West, available as a nucleus for building his '43 machine. Three additional squad members who should be on tap for next year and who have had some actual experience under fire include Hazlett, Hunter and Brookbank. The diploma ceremony lops off Accorsi, Pagnanelli, Fyalkowski, Adams, Puchan and Fraunholtz. The ball bounces precariously on the rim of the basket, while Orange cagemen Accorsi and Rice wait tensely to retrieve it. Send Fencers, QDRolfQPQ1IcRA' 've Competition With current military affairs placing in- creasing stress on physical education, Latrobe High School's program of development empha- sized minor sports for both boys and girls and made available such a variety of wholesome ac- tivities as would attract the maximum number of students. Emphasis on minor and intramural sports activities has always been identified with Latrobe High School, and this year, more stu- dents participated in these activities than ever before. All girls' activities were under the direct supervision of Miss Beulah Gerheim, girls' gym instructor, and included such a varied program that girls could engage in no fewer than ten sports. Many of these activities were conduct- ed right in the gym classes, while others found girls flocking to the gym or t.he recreation area after school. Among these activities are fencing, shuffle-board, indoor--golf, badminton, archery, tennis, softball, baton twirling, tumbling and homeroom as well as class basketball. That fencing was not entirely a boy's activity was evidenced by the clashing foils that echoed through the gym when the girls got together either during class period or after school. Al- though no regular series of competitive bouts were employed, Miss Gerheim believes sopho- more Anna Mattock was the outstanding foils- man of the year. Another one of the new sports open to Latrobe's girls was shufflcboard, and in this sport, an after-school activity, Katherine Poerstel, sophomore, proved to be the outstand- ing participant. Another new sport is indoor golf, a game which was conducted during the gym classes. Leading the girls in the strenuous game of softball was'Alma Cribbs, junior, who lifted many a homer over the fielders' heads when the ball came down the groove. In order to obtain the maximum time out-of-doors, Miss Gerheim promoted this activity during classes and also after school. One of the most popular sports was the comparatively new game of badminton, which also was an after-school activity. Sue Potter starred as the top archer when girls trooped off to the Flats after 4:00 with bows and arrows under their arms. It provides ample activity and lavish op- portunities for participation, declares Miss Ger- heim, describing the girls' practicing in various phases of tumbling. This program offers in- struction and practice in every one of the activi- ties associated with tumbling, such as the horse, 78 parallel bars, mat-work, and rope climbing as well as Indian club and baton twirling. Miss Gerheim instructed the girls in all these activi- ties except baton twirling, of which William Dun- dore, twirling drum major, took charge. In addition to these sports, girls could also participate in class and home-room basketball competition. These campaigns were bitterly con- tested and the girls kept up a blistering pace to the very last match. In the home-room encount- ers, after a hectic battle sophomore room 216 paced by such stellar court luminaries as for- wards Alma Cribbs and Jean D'Aniello and guard Marian Cribbs outdistanced all other title-aspir- ing home-rooms for undisputed acclaim as girls' home-room champs In the girls' class bask- etball tournament, the fifth period Wednesday also hammered their way through to gain vic- tor's laurels. In addition to room 216's stars, Miss Gerheim believes Catherine Adams, Mil- dred Zylak, Flora Pagnanelli, Nancy Moore and Yvonne Syster were outstanding girl basketeers. The boys also were offered a multiplicity of minor activities from which to choose. Number- ed among these were both class and home-room basketball, tennis, golf, fencing, volleyball and tumbling. On the basketball court senior boys from 113 won the home-room championship af- ter a hard fought campaign which they closed by turning back 204 by a 14-13 score. Stars of 113's squad were Jack Murray, Walter Os- borne, Tom O'Rourke and Don Mowry. An esti- mated 200 boys took part in the program. Boys' class basketball operated under an entirely revised set-up this year. In the tour- ney no team was eliminated, and no team was declared school class champs because only junior and senior boys participated. The teams were formed by grouping two or three home-- rooms together. At the end of the tourney, al- though no team was ofiicially declared winner, smooth-working quintets formed by 101, 102, and 103 and by 114 and 115 had finished their slate with no defeats. Individual stars in class per- formances included Henry Angus, as well as sen- iors Earle Rice, Charles Thompson, and Bill Rogers. An intra-mural sport program was not the only athletic opportunity for boys of Latrobe High School, for they could also take advantage of facilities offered by activities which provide interscholastic competition. Such minor sports as tennis, golf, fencing, volleyball and tumbling brought out enthusiasts during the late winter Q' v -tun- Top GYMNASTIC SQUAD - First Row: Caldwell, Frye, Panigal, Carns, Keeno.

Opening the sixth season of court competi- tion this spring, aspiring' tennis stars, under the direction of Coach George D. Rise, Jr., primed for the Section V WPIAL campaign. This year the team boasted such veteran stalwarts as seni- ors Jack Hugus, Westmoreland county junior champion, Jack Murray, holder of the Latrobe singles title, and Abe Khorey as well as a number of candidates recruited from the other classes. For the record books, the squad played through a tough four match schedule in quest of the WP ISO IAL crown. Among the league teams played were Greensburg and Jeannette, as well as non- league matches with Kiski and Wilkinsburg. The gymnastic squad provided another ath- letic activity for boys during the winter months. The lettermen on this squad, coached by Mr. Hubert I. Snyder, athletic director, were Richard Gibson, sophomore, who placed first on the side horse in the Munhall W.P.I.A.L. meet and Bill Dundore who copped a first in the Indian clubs at Munhall and in the Western regional. Bill placed sixth in the State meet. Paul Sartoris, who also twirled Indian clubs, placed third at Munhall, seventh in the Western regional and fifth at Penn State. Other boys on the gymnastic squad were Harry Frye, senior, and Leonard Stevens and Richard Henry. Harry was a tumbler, while Leonard and Richard performed on the parallel bars. A sure harbinger of spring is the appearance of Latrobe's golfers on the local country club course. This year the squad, with such veteran club swingers as Richard Hulton, senior, and juniors Gilbert Sulkey and Lawrence Moore. all former lettermen, and sparked by the addition of such promising players as juniors Joseph Bar- nett and Dean Musick and sophomore Felix Kon- tor played through a four match card of W.P.l. A.L. competition. The squad met Greensburg at home on April 24 and away on May 4, Jeannette away on April 28 and at home on May 8 in quest of the Section V crown. En garde! Step back! Play! ring famil- iar in the fencer's ears, for this is the time- honored phrase for beginning a fencing match. Under the tutelage of Coach Mars C. Dovey, the fencers not only engaged in inter-scholastic com- petition, but also held numerous intra-squad bouts. This year's flashing foilsmen included seniors Harry Clawson, Philip and Charles Jones and Innocenzo Caruso, in addition to Howard Weiss, junior. Latrobe's volleyball squad completed its sea- son on March 28 when they participated in the annual W.P.I.A.L. tourney in the Pitt Stadium. The local spikers, although sparked by the ser- vices of seniors John Fetkovich, Albert Hlavsa, James Berenbrok, Vincent Battaglia and Edward Patterson, juniors Walter Hazlett and James Mailey, sophomore Michael Tomashosky and freshman Donald Hazlett, fell before the on- slaught of Homestead and Oakmont. Coached by Mr. Herbert Hoerr, the activity brought scholas- tic competition to more than a dozen boys. A sport which annually attracts at least 75 boys is track. Here regular calisthenics are com- bined with individual talents to provide boys with the finest type of physical activity. On the track squad, coached by Mr. S. G. Rummel, senior Rich- ard Grote easily gained laurels as the outstanding miler, while others who excelled on cinder path were seniors Earle Rice, Ralph Shirey and David Truxall, juniors Jerry Smith and Bill Barkley, sophomores Kendall Grote and Joe Massena and freshman Bill Showalter. In field events, junior Jack Harrold topped the weight men. This year, a cross-country team was inaugurated in the school, and provided autumn recreation for 60 boys. Although not essentially sports activities, two groups which merit special recognition are the student managers of athletic squads and the cheerleaders. The managers must willingly sac- rifice time in order to keep team equipment in shape and to aid the coaches in any way possible, while the cheerleaders must pep up spectators at football and basketball games. Senior mana- gers who worked with the football team were Robert Patterson and James Ogden, their assist- ants were juniors Kay Meyers and George New- meyer and sophomore Bill Laughlin. Edwin Fritz, sophomore, and Robert Nessler, junior, served as managers of the basketball team, while Charles Jacobino headed the cinder-squad man- agers, composed of juniors Robert Williams and Henry Angus, sophomores Harold Mulheren, Wil- liam Hazlett and Ernest Domasky, and freshmen Thomas Whiteman and Albert Lattanzio. Sen- iors Thomas Shivetts, Frank Davis and Thomas O'Rourke were the cheerleaders. SENIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL Top FIRST ROW: Falso, Emery, Stahl, Eiseman.

'zeciafion To all persons ioho aided in the compiling of the yearbook, the Latrobean staff expresses their thanks. Only through the interested cooperation of the student body and faculty were pic- tures concerning the school secured to the best advantage. Because this year's theme brings together the school and the community pictures of public buildings were necessary. The willing cooperation ewtended the staff by post ojice officials, the stag' of the Latrobe Public Library and the Office of Civilian Defense made such a project possible. The usual appreciation is extended to Mr. Elmer Deglau of the Crescent Studio, Latrobeau photographerg Mr. Donald L.
