FOREWORD We, the class of '48, place this small volume in the hands of Time, so that in the years to come we may recapture the essence of our youth from the pages of this book. Time plays such a vital role in school life that we believe its influence should be felt in our publication of the Argus. Our theme, The March of Time, carries with it an innovation that creates a sense of climax, as all the events are arranged in the order of their happening, making graduation a dramatic finale. Thus you can imagine yourself a student at H. H. S., and watch your page-by-page journey through a year. The story begins with your first-day-of-school preliminaries-getting ac- quainted with the faculty and departments-and follows through with the football season and its high spots. Then you proceed to the new year where more functions greet you-those dances after basketball games, the Senior Class play, and the Prom. Finally, on the last few pages, you see yourself going through all the ceremonies of graduation, only to realize sadly that it is merely imagination working over-time. , Although there are no physical means of turning back the pages of Time, we hope this Argus will act as a medium of offering an imaginative way for you to return to the best years of life. 0 QP nf- 5- Q' igh- .a-J' 4 Wai' x 'mx x x xx 1 1 i. iff 999' 9966 .,.. r-J:-,u-A' - , - - ! - Q., ,av A n V 1 v ,I Q frf- .vliii 'X , 3-'e',, ' H- in N Q . -H 'iiffsx . jf' f1LF1?'1 Wf- 'wiqgrffx' '-Husi il, Q ' 53133-4 ' f f' W- T-T 'L :ir .- - . 5-Q .. e?,-:lf.- U'i.,- ' i 'NL 'S'-.rin Q! -s ...kwa s .. 122:15-X 3 ?:ffgq1..,, ' ivfzf., xiii I x- 'vii .

In the English department, Miss VVeber, Mr. Bowman, Miss Snyder, and Miss Coder are the rulers of the King's English. Each English term is divided into two sections, the study of language construction and of literature. Our books for one semester are on the subject of the mechanics of written and spoken English, then the change is made to the evaluation and appreciation of poetry, drama, short story, essay, or the analysis of American and English writers. The history teachers aim to have us know when, where, and what has happened in the history of the world. Mr. Yoho, in Pennsylvania History, Mr. Sheetz, in World History, Mr. Shingler, in American History, and Mr. Norris, in Problems of Democracy, have each added to our growing concept of world problems. They have given us a good View of government and have shown the problems of yesterdays as well as the problems of today. Our instructors have pointed out to their students that history is still being made, and that everyone today has a vital part in its making. In this department, we have the modern languages-Spanish and French, and the classical language, Latin. In Latin, our teacher, Miss Barrick, endeavors to broaden our vocabulary scope and to teach the fund- amentals of correct grammatical structure as well as to have us know and appreciate the life and litera- ture of the Romans. Since much of our English is based on Latin, this instruction is indeed an important part of the school language curriculum. Mrs. Mierley, who teaches both Spanish and French, tries to help her students to learn first, the essential speech habits of these foreign nations and then, some of the customs and background material of the representative countries. Both French and Spanish are important languages since they are so useful in the ever-broadening commercial, industrial, and social world of today. Mathematics was once a mysterious thing, supposedly endowed with magic powers. Today, mathe- matics is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. It guides us from day to day, giving order and effect to an otherwise chaotic state of existence. In Huntingdon High School, we are enlightened in early Algebra by Mr. Vince Chimente and Miss Longenecker who try to give us a clear conception of mathematical reasoning. Mr. Hess illuminates the way for us to make a mental development in higher mathematics such as Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. CHENHSTRY iii PHYSICS VVho knows? Maybe another Einstein is being born in our midst. Although one of us may not become so important, there is one thing that we have learned in the study of chemistry and physicsg that is-to think straightl' since we have been given a chance to see facts proven in the laboratory. NVe all know that the impore tance of scientific research in modern society will continue to become greater and greater. For the enterprising science student who is interested in uncovering nature's secrets, there will always be worth-while opportunities. Under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Meloy, we are enabled to understand thoroughly the mysteries of chemistry and physics. BIOLQ? Biology is the most ancient of all studies about life. Either directly or indirectly, all the activities of nations and of indivduals are related to Biology. Under the careful supervision of Mr. lsett, We are taught how to appreciate the work of nature and are more capable of understanding our environment. ln our Biology laboratory, we study life from its First embryo form to the complicated and fascina- ting higher development. Biology is constantly related to commoniexperiences and thus proclaimed the most practical of studies. HOME The Home Ee Room must be a wonderful place-the kitchen that is-judging from all odors that sometimes float around through our halls. Coming late in the morning, they make some of us ravenously hungry when we remember that we have forgotten to eat our breakfast. Won't one of the Home Ec girls make somebody a good wife if her food tastes as good as it smells! Those girls not only can cook but also can sew and make clothes which look as if they had come from a fashionable New York shop. The Home Ec girls divide the year between sewing and cooking. During the first semester, they have sewing, and the next semester, cooking. The group is divided into two classes, Home EC. 1 and Home Ec 2. In the study of the art of sewing, the girls first learn how to follow the patterns and to use the machines. From there, they progress to making different articles of clothing such as aprons, blouses, and skirts. The advanced seamstresses, however, make more complicated clothes such as suits, coats, date dresses, and evening gowns. In addition to making clothes, they learn how to wear them Well, what 36 ECONGMICS to wear with them, and where to wear them. Every girl tries to learn which hair-do is the most becom- ing and what make-up suits her needs best. Thus, suitable clothing, neatness and cleanliness of the body, and effective make-up all are studied as aids to correct personal appearance. All Home Ec activities aren't confined to the classroom alone. On occasions, the girls get their heads together and plan a delicious meal for the Faculty or School Board. Listen to this menu, served taste- fully on February 4, to the faculty: tomato juice, chicken a la king, mashed potatoes, buttered corn, fruit cocktail salad, carrot and celery strips, olives, pickles, chocolate cake, ice cream, coffee and cream. In the spring, as busy as bees, they prepare for a style show in which they act as models QHollywood H-m-m-mj to display their new fashions before their mothers and friends. Following this show is a tea, prepared and served with their best culinary arts. Lai 37 COMMERCIAL The Commercial Department is divided into two groupsMStenographic and General Busiv ness. ln the Stenographic classes, the student, along with his required subjects, has two years of shorthand and two years of typewriting, one ycar of bookkeeping, and a semester each of business correspondence and office practice. ln the General Business group, the elective sub- jects are two years of typewriting, one year of bookkeeping, one year of business math, and a semester each of business correspondence, business law, office practice, and salesmanship. During the Senior year, the English course is also organized so that the General Business students are all in one class and the Stenographic students in another. ln both of these courses, emphasis is placed on spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. Literature is also added as a means of affording a cultural background for the Commercial student. A Commercial student spends much of his time in the machine room. There he learns to use such machines as the mimeograph, the comptometer, the ditto machine, and the dictaphone. He also learns how to cut a stencil. This experience is obtained in the course on office practice. The aim of this department is to prepare future business men and Women, stenographers, and typists who will be capable of doing their duties efficiently and well. The Commercial subjects are taught by Miss Iuniatta Miller, Miss Phyllis Zeigler, and Mr. james Stewart. 'Y This year's shop classes are again under the direction of Mr. Etsweiler who tries to increase the pupilis interest in technical skills and to develop a sense of value in regard to every day problems which will arise in the future. The boys must go to Eighteenth Street for their shop classes and return to the high school to con- tinue their other studies. The industrial classes are divided into two sections-Shop 1 and Shop 2. Tn Shop 1, the pupils are trained in drafting, Wood-Working, sheet metal, Welding, elec- tricity, plastics, automobiles, and machine shop fundamentals. In Shop 2, they may specialize in any one of the first eight. The boys have a good supply of materials which they buy in making articles for their own use.

MUSIC This year the musical instruction has been divided into de- partments: first, vocal-with Mr. Williams directingg second, instrumentalewith Mr. James swinging his baton. In the vocal department, Mr. Williams has charge of Choral and Glee Clubs. These organizations meet on Mondays and Tuesdays for the purpose of learning concert music and strength- ening young voices. In the instrumental department, Mr., blames has taken over band instruction. During school hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, he gives lessons to the novices of our Marching Hundred , on Mondays and Wednesdays, mass practice is held. Concert numbers are stressed throughout the year, and much good music has resulted. M' jy fd! 2405 w ' Lf' ,pf v' -if 6 EQQ p?Q X 7 H 1, frliffigi l lzzfi' T 3 1 ll' l James with Merrills, et al.

SOCIAL LIFE Of course, never to be forgotten, were the dances sponsored by the Senior Class after the basketball games. The responsibility of organizing the dances later was handed to the Juniors. Music was furnished by records played on the record player presented by the American Legion. A great number of students attended these dances. The Lion's Club was responsible for a delightful party at the Teen Canteen on january 24th. Milk and sandwiches were served and dancing was enjoyed during the course ofthe evening. Music was furnished by the Canteen julie box.

Under the guidance of Editor Nancy Stewart and Adviser, Miss Coder, the staff has worked hard to make the publication a vital and personal newspaper. Several new articles and features were added, such as Letters to the Editor and the Month Clubf, More pictures also have been utilized, that we may visualize the outstanding moments of our careers. On January 7, a group from the Newsreal Staff presented a radio program about the make-up of the high school newspaper. The material of the program was arranged in the form of a skit which illustrated a regular meeting of the Newsreal Staff. The sketch showed how assignments were made, and how news was gathered and organized into working journalism. This year the Newsreal had as its editor-in-chief, Nancy Stewart, Joyce Grove held down the post -of feature editor, and Flo Haight, the job of News Editor. As sports' editors, there were for the girls, Phyl Nead and for the boys, Mike Scialabba. Each editor had a number of reporters writing that particular type of article. On every radio program, a Newsreal Newscaster has reported on the past and coming events of each week.

SOCIAL SERVICE Under the capable supervision of Mr. Kenneth Sheetz and Miss Ruth Stine, the Hi-Y and the Tri-Hi-Y have completed another year of social activities and serious thinking. These clubs were organized for the same purpose, to promote better understanding among the stu- dents and to uplift the thought and ideas of young high school boys and girls. The officers of the Hi-Y are: Kenneth Sheetz, President, Robert Stever, Vice-President, and Charles Shaver, Secretary. The Tri-Hi-Y was led by Patricia Kyper as Presidentg Marian Cohenour, Vice-President, Kathryn Kring, Secretary, and Nina Alley, Treasurer. Relating to the work of the Hi-Y, delegates were sent to many conferences. These were: The Southwestern, 'Central-Western, and Pittsburgh Districts Conferencel' at Indiana, Pa., The Prelegislative Conference , and the Youth and Government Conferencei' at Harrisburg, at which the Hi-Y officers of the state ran the State Government for two days, also the group participated in the opinion poll , which the state conducted to determine some of the major problems of youth. Along the same serious lines, the Tri-Hi-Yand the Hi-Y have had a program of a study nature taught by Miss Stine and Mr. Sheetz. This study was entitled Teen Talk II, a contin- uation from last year's Teen Talk. Some of the girls' meetings were held in the first Baptist Church at which time Mrs. Howard Alley was present to provide information on the Teen Talk. Social events such as dances, dinners, and hay rides enlivened the year's activities. MR.

W The new grid mentor wasted no time at the beginning -of the season in learning to know the boys on the squad and investigating their capabilities. This assignment was not an easy one as only three regular varsity members of the 1946 team remained on the squad. Very warm, humid weather compelled the coaching staff to keep the squad on light training without shoulder pads, for the first week. More vigorous training was gradually given the Bearcats as they approached their opening date. By the opening date of September 5, the coaching staff had selected a possible starting eleven, these eleven men, however, were not necessarily considered the varsity team, with substitutes two or three deep for a number of the positions. It was generally understood that Huntingdon had a varsity squad and not a varsity team. Although the wins, losses, and ties may indicate that the squad was not a winner, if one considers the inexperience of the individual players, a new coaching staff, new style of plays, and the poor weather for early practice, we must agree the Bearcats had another successful year. 57 X 'fa LA A R4 Q' ' K 1 V NL X Fw. FOOTBALL September 5 BEARICATS TIE MOUNT UNION The Huntingdon High Gridmen opened their 1947 season on the home field where they fought it out with the Mount Union Trojans to a 6-6 deadlock.

MAX CORBIN COACH October 2, 1947 CCHS BLAST SALTILLO 35-18 The first game of the year showed the Saltillo Indians at VVar Veterans' Memorial Field to test the Cubs' grid power. Saltillo opened up fast in the first quarter and led the Little Cats 12 to 7. The Corbinmen then unleashed the power of their grid machine and regained the lead on a pass from Fleegal to Heffner, to take command at the intermission. The Cubs roared back in the second half by scoring a touchdown and an extra point in the third quarter and a pair of touchdowns and brace of extra points, to sweep the opener 35 to 18. The starting eleven consisted of Cozzens on the pivot, Shaffer and Snare on the guard positions, Brown and johns in the tackle spots, with Snyder and Fyock on the wings. The backs lined up with Baker at quarter back, Fleegal and Heffner at the halfbacks, and States at fullback. J. Y.'S NIP SXLTILLO 16 TO 12 The next game showed the Huntingdon Ll. Vfs on their first trip. The Cubs entered the Saltillo lair for a return game and again brought home the bacon!! with a 16 to 12 victory. Tn the first period, a 48 yard drive carved the initial score for the Red and Blue with Baker going over for the extra point. Saltillo then retaliated with a sixepointer but failed on the attempted conversion. The Cubs again scored in the second canto and t.he Red and lllue led at halftime 14 to 6. Saltillo then scored, in the final frame, the scoreboard showed Saltillo still lacking 2 points. 'Charles Baker, quarterback, 'iced' the game with a safety. Final score! Huntingdon High j.

VYS CRUSH LEVVISTOVVN I. V. SQUAD 26-O Next, the Lewistown Junior Varsity came to War Vet's Field to play under the mazdas. The Lewistown I. V. squad came to Huntingdon with an impressive record but went home with a 26 to O shutout. The H. H. S. tallies came in the lirst, third, and last quarters. Huntingdon's scoring by aerials from States to Fleegal in the third quarter broke the Lewistown grid machine, and then in the final period, Hooper ran for a touchdown, and a pass from Fleegal to Snyder for paydirt ended the scoring for the game. ROBERTSDALE HUMBLES HUNTINGDON J. V.'S 33-7 The smooth-running Robertsdale Varsity visited Huntingdon and romped to an easy victory over our I. V.,S. Robertsdale's more experienced backs and line, running off of a deceptive T formation, were too much for the Corbinmen. Robertsdale scored in every period with 7 in the first and 12 in the second while Huntingdon scored its lone tally in the second canto on a long pass from Fleegal to Snyder. Robertsdale then went on to rout the game with a touchdown in each of the last two quarters. CUBS CLOSE CAMPAIGN VVITH THRILLING M6 DEADLOCK AGAINST JUNIATA VALLEY The final game of the year brought the Juniata Valley eleven here as a new grid rival. Neither team could get their offense rolling and as a result, the game ended in a M6 tie. Huntingdon scored nrst, on successive passes whch were climaxed by States' plunge over from the two-yard stripe. Juniata Valley scored in the third period when a Huntingdon fumble set up the score. So ended the junior Varsity football season. The boys have made the students and faculty at H. H. S. feel proud of the work they have accomplished. These same players will be back in later years to help the Huntin don Varsity be kinrnins of s orts. f s . 5,1 p t ' ta. in vu yi Trumpets : T1'Ol1llJO11C5Z Clarinet: Flutes: Bells: Drums 2 .liob College, VVesley Grove, VYarren Stewart, Rash Isenberg, joe Norris, Patricia Heltrick, Dolores Kimmel, Joe Mcllroy, Donald Dell, Richard Krause, Helen Day, Virginia Iessel, Patricia Shea, Paul Stever, VVilliam lirunkhart, Gerry Miller.

Under his able direction, good music and marching resulted, with the future Marching Hundred lifting high their tired feet on the turf at War Veterans' Field. Another new feature of the band was the presence of some tiny little fellows interspersed throughout the ranks. No, they weren't gremlins, just future musicians from the VVilliam Smith and Alfarata grade schools. These small members added to the effectiveness of the music and provided many a hilarious moment when the band traveled to the neighboring football games. The band's going to the neighboring games was a novelty too. For the hrst time, the football team was accompanied by the high school band to the Hawayl' games. During the football season, the band was in its prime. Wlieii it played the home games, a familiar sight on the 5Ofyard stripe featured the red and blue uni- formed swingsters of the high school giving out with the pep PHYL NEAD DRUM MAJOR songs. When the enthusiasm of the band hit the audience, there was always a ready response from the spectators. Thus, the band kept up the morale of the team and fans of the Huntingdon High football team.

Mark time-mark! Forward march l So goes the Twirling Corps at practice or on parade. This group of sixteen girls and their leader, all clad in snappy blue and white uniforms, is a valuable part of the football season. The Corps, under the able direction of Mr. James and the capable leadership of Jackie Foster, has had a very successful season. Busses took the girls and the band to the Lewistown and DuBois football gamesg although the group was unable to perform at the half-times, the presence of the majorettes and the band pepped up the morale of everyone. At the home games, the Twirling Corps to-ok part in a before-game parade and half-time drill. The girls worked hard in learning to cut their corners straight and to get their maneuvers down pat. The abilities of the H. H. S. twirlers are not confined completely to the football held. They appeared in the Christmas parade and in the program presented by the Music Department before Christmas. Here they performed an intricate drill, dramatically receiving their batons from their old friend, Santa Claus. The Ebensburg game was the last game for live twirlers and the leaders, Jackie Foster and Phyl Nead. The twirlers who will leave the or- ganization this year are Lois Kirk, Flo Haight, Doris Banks, Norma Gene Sinclair, and Eleanor Zehmer. With the graduation of these girls, there will be places to be filled. Here's to next year's Corps! Keep 'em high! JACKIE FOSTER LEADER oF TWIRLERS A-1-w-'qw Command Perforniaiieef .....

Before December 22, everyone sang 'The Night Before Christmasl' in his sleep, because the group had worked so hard on it. However, repetition brings success, for the combined group of Glee and Choral Clubs did a splendid job at the Christmas Program. This year the boys have Worked hard on such songs as Penn Statels Alma Mater, the Alma Mater of N. Y. U. and The Vlfhiftenpoof Songf, One should really hear the undiscovered Frankies in order to appreciate the Crosbys and Swoonatras of next year. Roeland Van Cavel, a gentle- man from Holland, presented to us a lecture on his homeland, the Netherlands. His Dutch costume was put in long stor- age when he came to the United States. After receiving his ed- ucation, he again donned his Wooden shoes, to bring to the people of the United States some idea of his country and people. With colorful maps as a background, he gave many vivid pictures of his native land. The Dutch version of Moon- light and Rosesi' was quite a novelty. ROELAND VAN CAVEL BOB FORD The second of our lyceum numbers was presented in the chapel by Mr. Ford, with Wilcl Life of Pennsylvaniau as his subject. The colored pictures, most of which he took, were achieved by long and patient watching for his Wild sub- jects to make their appearance. We eagerly watched the deer and beaver go about their usual rituals, but with fascination we looked upon the battle between the black snake and the rat. The snake, of course, overcame the rat and killed him by devouring him Whole. l 1 l l O On January 5th, we were given a lyceum program in- troducing The Ambassador Quartet. Each of the four members was a solo artist as well as a master of harmony in ensemble singing and in bell ringing. The program consisted mostly of classical numbers. The performers were applauded and returned to play as an en- core number a novelty tune. AMBASSADOR QUARTET EE, . MASTER KEYS The rumor ran quickly among the students, and was joyfully received. Yes, the Master Keys were making their return trip to H. H. S. Really in the grooven, they sang a Wonderful selection of songs. A few ever popular songs taken from Shovvboat , and of course those songs which all hit- paraders are singing such as That's My Desire, Stardust, Open the Door! Richard and many others, caused the students to leave the auditorium with hands tingling from applause. 85 HEALTH MISS HOGUE INSTRUCTS IN HEALTH TECHNIQUE DR.

BECK MISS BARRlCK SOOTHES THE FEVERED BROW BASKETBALL Coach Max Corbin called out the basketeers for practice about one week after football had reached its finale. In daily drills, the boys learned the fundamentals of the game, the intricate defenses, and the fast-breaking offenses. The Bearcat squad consisted of two first team lettermen, Mock and Newcombeg the rest of the squad was rounded out by Ed Miller, Bob Smith, Bob Clark, Jim Snare, Jim jones, Ralph Clark, Fred Isenberg, Ron Harris, and Fred Cox. As the Mountain League defending champions, Huntingdon ended the season by winning 13 games and losing 10. In Mountain League play, the Cats played an even .500 brand of ball with 5 wins and Salosses. Bob Mock, veteran front court ace, hung up a new indi- vidual Mountain League all-time high scoring record, with 172 counters in 10 contests. Many bad breaks were experienced in Huntingdon,s season, Bob Smith was out of play because of an injury, and the lack of experienced players became a vital factor. In League play, the cats split with every-one but Tyrone and Mount Union. The Tyrone games showed 2 wins for Huntingdon and the Mount Union games showed as many losses. Many of the boys on the squad are underclassmen and will be back prepared for future championship honors. In the opener, Mock's 16 markers accounted for the margin of victory as Max Corbin started his fifth year at the helm of the Red and Blue. Huntingdon 37, Yeagertown 33. With a total of 22 field goals, the Red and Blue gained their second victory at the expense of Burnham with a decisive 48-18 win. The Cats clawed the Cressonxcourtmen 595--23 as Bob Clark, junior star, grabbed the scoring honors with 9 double-deckers and 2 foul goals. The Red and Blue continued an unbeaten record by stopping a strong Ferndale quintet 36-29. A quick rally in the closing stanza provided the Corbinmen with 4 straight wins. A 22 point spree by Huntingdon High's Bob Mock resulted in another victory for the local lads. Juniata Joint was the beaten quin- tet, 50-39. George Newcombe, back court star, was runnerup for high score. MAX CORBIN coAcH First row: Robert Smith, james Snare, George Newcombe, Robert Clark, Robert Mock.

Although playing fine defensive, the boys couldn't hit and the lirst loss of the season hung on the scoreboard, H. H. S.-20, Alumni-25. Huntingd0n's next rival was Conemaugh, of the Johnstown area. The fast passing and deadly shooting of the visitors sank Huntingdon for a 46-35 setback. At this point of the season, the 29th campaign of the Mountain League opened with the Cats touring to Philipsburg. Pouring 39 points through the hoop, compared to Philipsburg's 25, put the Cats on the first rim of a championship. Hollidaysburg then visited the Huntingdon lair and went home with a surprising victory on a field goal in the closing seconds. This was the first loss in the Mountain circuit for Huntingdon, the score was H. H. S. 28, Hollidays- burg 30. Altoona gave the Red and Blue their second successive jolt with a crushing 5O-l9 defeat. The H. H. S. squadls inability to hit the hoop resulted in this lop-sided score. The Cats were again nipped in Mountain League playg this time it was Mount Union who eked out the Red and Blue. The contest had the crowd on its feetg but when the final gun sounded, the Briclctowners were on the right side of the ledger 37-35. The Red and Blue quintet next journeyed to T.evvistown where the fourth defeat in as many games was pinned on them. The Silks rallied in the last Canto to win 34-31. Huntingdon at this time hit the win Column with a 39e22 victory over Juniata joint. This win again put the Cats over the .SOO average with 7 wins in 13 starts. The H. H.

The Bearcats traveled to the lovvfceilinged Penn Pavilion where a Cresson High squad provided some stiff opposition. Moclc's deuce in the Hnal seconds provided the Win. 49 points were scored and the Red and Blue claimed 25 of them. In the second cycle of the Mountain League, Philipsburg avenged their earlier defeat by a thumping 56-39. In an exhibition tilt, the Bearcats entertained the Altoona Mountain Lions only to be humbled 62-26. Altoona showed the fans line basketball play and probably a District 6 Championship team. BASKETBALL The Varsity cagers next traveled to Hollidaysburg to annex a close decision from the Blair Countians. A field goal in the closing seconds accounted for the 31-30 win. Mount Union then played host to the Red and Blue at the famous pillbox', where Altitude Zero struck the Cats as they were again shaded 37-33. Huntingdon then bounced back to rack up 36 points and a victory over Lewistown who could eke out only 31 markers. At this stage of the season, Bob Mock needed 9 points to set a new individual scoring record. Bob now had 152 points. Burnham, whom Huntingdon had thumpecl before, bounced back to surprise the Cats and upset them 52-42. This, the last game of the 47-48 Mountain League season showed Bob Mock zipping the cords for 20 markers. He was given a great ovation as he eclipsed the old record of, 160 points.

The team was playing at its best with many victories to its credit when Mr. Farabaugh left, to return to 'Osceola Mills. Mr. George Shingler then took over as instructor and continued to keep the jV'S on the winning streak. The young cubs ran up against some very stiff competition throughout their season, but their skillful play brought them to a total of 18 Wins and 6 losses. This remarkable record brought honor to the squad when they were chosen Mountain League Champions. The splendid training received by the cuhs this season will have prepared many of the players for varsity competi- tion next year. if . , , R331 , ' X 9 . ig- stef' X.

Y 1 PEP BAND That snappy bunch of songsters you saw at the basketball games was our own pep band. Composed of the principal players of the brass, woodwind, and percussion sections of the band and under the direction of Mr. James, the pep band served to liven up the pep meetings every Tuesday and Friday. Speaking of the pep meetings, when you tramped into the gym on those memorable occasions, you could hear feet marching in a rhythm with the snappy marches that began as soon as the 9 350 bell rang. Spaced throughout the meetings, the pep songs rallied everyone to a cheer. Then at the basketball games, the pep band was always rooting for the team with their never say die songs. Always at the half and intermission periods, the musicians provided plenty of entertainment and many feet again tapped to the music that was played. Yes, the pep band was a great help in the various activities in which it participated. No doubt, we, as Seniors, shall miss our own fun and Mr. james's unfailing good spirits which helped to make the pep meetings and basketball games more interesting. f' ' ' Y - .L , 1 ,ff z, , . , N3 ,if 314, Y.

The Class Play, Almost Summer, was presented on March 4th and 5th at the Grand Theater. The story is an old one, featuring the last few days of school or as the title suggestsf Almost Summer. Paul had to pass history in order to attend the University in the fall. If he failed to pass the course, he was forced to go to summer school instead of to the lakes where he could be with his girl, Jane. Then j'ack's mark was also low in history. The attempts of Paul and jack to study for the history test and Paul's episodes with Mr. Smudgely were high comedy. Junior and his friend, Lilah, also provide diverting entertainment. The Whole plot was hilarious and left one with the feeling that it is good to experience Almost Summer.

A stately colonial mansion, soft evergreens, a Southern moon -all give atmosphere prepared by the Class of '48, Even now, in memory, one can hear the music of the Joe Rovida orchestra playing on the plaza of the Old Colonial house. With a little imagination, one can even smell the apple blossoms and feel the Warm breeze gently wafted among the swaying dancers. Also, adding to the authenticity of the scene were the palms, flowers, ferns, and pines which were decoratively placed around thc mansion. The guests will remember the elaborate decorations of the powder room which was given a touch of beauty by the girls of the prom committee. To climax the festivities, at the stroke of midnight, hundreds of balloons were allowed to fall from the ceiling. xiii .. ,I 3 f if Mi.

Red and Blue Nips Hollidaysburg-4 to 3 In a hotly-contested struggle, which ended in a 2-2 deadlock, the Cats eked out 2 runs in the 9th inning to win a decision over H-Burg.

The Cats outhit the visitors but could not bunch the hits for a score. Huntingdon Wins Northern Division from P -A-ll to 10 Don Young, all-round all-star outlielder for the Cats, stole the show at Alexandria with brilliant catches and batting power which en- abled Huntingdon to whip Petersburg and Alexandria combined.

The Juniors won three events with the total of 39 points. The Freshmen and Sophomores each Won one event with 22 and 25 points respectively.

But now we are leaving and just want to say Not all that's been done has been merry and gay, Books to be studied and grades to be won Along the way. When we came as Freshmen, The time seemed far away then, At last, as Seniors, we have come To that long-awaited day.

V, 55 35 Q W. k . -P V Some of the most cherished memories of high school days are linked with the class ring . . . remember as underclassmen the anticipation we' felt towards wearing it, those' anxious moments when we wondered if we were qualified scholastically for it, all-those Cokes and candyfbarswe gave up to finance it, and finally the thrill of wearing that symbol of our membership in the fraternity of H. H. S. on our fingers for all to see? Remember, too, the times we traded rings with the extra-special, our current heart-throb! It seems strange to us that 'way back before 1926, a different class ring was chosen by each class, because ever since we can remember, there has always been the one design, and a very significant one, too, bearing a legend of some of Huntingdon's proudest history. The seal on the top of the ring was adapted from the basic design of the coat-of-arms of the Countess of Huntingdon, patroness of our local history. 'One side bears the Standing Stone, and the other, the Lamp of Knowledge. The design, adopted by a committee of the class of 1926 and faculty, was done by Elwood Isenberg, then a student. fthis original ring is on display in the trophy-casej After the ring was copyrighted, it was placed in the H. H. S. safe, where it is still kept. Thus our ring preserves for us our high school spirit-it is a symbol of achievement, and a link that binds us to everyone who wears the coat-of-arms of Huntingdon High. ' --s .f ,,-MQW? 14 fifji ' 'www' Q? 136 PROPHECY A thick yellow-ish green smoke poured out of the hastily-opened windows of the H. H. S. Chem Lab, revealing tome, an innocent bystander, a group of excited future chemists, all wearing weird-shaped nose guards that were specially designed for this occasion by WALT WISER. Mr. T. Meloy, the chemistry instructor, was crouched under a table in the far corner of the room, chewing his bubble gum nervously. I approached him and with a feeble attempt to be casual, asked him what was brewing. His quivering lips formed the answer with difficulty . . . it seemed that they were concocting a special gasoline to be uscd in the rocket ship that DICK BROWN had designed with the help of the inspired mind of LEROY BONSELL. The rocket ship had been created to carry the Senior class to the Country Club after the commencement exercises. At this point Mr. Meloy's voice was drowned by a shrill whistling noise that was quickly followed by a series of pops,'. I leaped for the shelter of a table, nearly squashing JIMMY HARRIS, who must have had the same idea in mind. EVA FEAGLEY was nimbly capturing, 'in long brown bottles, flames that had suddenly appeared from a beaker held by a terrified PETE MOSER. She would hand a filled bottle to LOUISE METZ who would then cork it and put it in a rack alongside other bottles of similar nature. BOBBY APPLEBY condensed the vapor by puffing furiously. Screams of triumph hlled the air ...... FITZ SAUNDERS hung by his heels from a lamp, gleefully waving his goggles in one hand and his nose guard in the other, much to the consternation of JACKIE FOSTER and HARRY HOOPER, who were washing test tubes below him. IRVIN MYERS suddenly had the brilliant idea of compressing the fluid into pellets-JOE BEAVER groaned at the thought, then brightened as he realized it would mean less for him to carry. Feverish hours later, TREV. DAVIS and I staggered out of the lab with the fruit of our labors incased in a match box. In front of the gym we saw SHELDY SHERMAN'S jalopy and promptly jumped in. The motor coughed into life as JO-ANN UTLEY cranked it vigor-ously, and we sputtered off to the Shop. At 17th street we came upon a mass of people who had gathered to watch the unveiling of our rocket ship, now being pushed out of a specially-constructed opening in the wall. ARTIE KAGARISE and his gang of burly he-men pushed it down the streets of Huntingdon to the field. At the field SARAH COFFMAN lovingly draped it with tarpaulins that had been knitted by Mr. Isettis home room. Several hours later, the final notes of the Alma Mater floated -over the field+Commence- ment was over! ! l The Seniors moved as one man in the direction of the rocket ship. In his haste to get a choice seat, RALPH CLARK tripped over the hem of his gown, sprawled head long, and was soon on the bottom of a mass of kids who tripped over him. The crowd regained upright position and sprinted the last 50 yards if if .1 Specials, and off we careened into space. to the ship. Miss Miller stood at the door of the rocket ship, frantically checking off names as we rushed passed her, each grabbing a hunk of bubble gum ffor altitudej from JOY CORBIN. At the signal from our pilot, the capable but reckless BETTY. METZ, VVAYNE CONPRIOPST lit the fuse with the last of his Corona Miss Longeneckcris voice was heard above the hilarity, shrieking for her knitting . . . WANDA SHENEFELT discovered that VERA SWARTZ was sitting on the knitted part: the yarn had caught in the door and the yarn was unwinding down thru space. The episode of the yarn was forgotten in the excitement T that followed immediately. Our navigator, NANCY STEWART, broke into the cabin, screaming madly that we were off our course . . . . IVA YODER hadn't used the right kind of graph paper, and instead of traveling in an elliptical path to the 'Country Club, we were aimed in a perpendicular course straight into infinity! l l BOBBY MOCK grabbed his tablet and scribbled out his last will and testament on the spot, stuffed it into a Coke bottle, and threw PROPHECY it out the window. DANNY BAGLIONE suggested that we draw straws to see who should crawl out on the wing and look for the North Star so that we could set up a new course. The fearless BERNARD LILLY volunteered without hesitating. Half way along the wing, he hastily backed in, visibly moved, and collapsed into a heap into NANCY HIXSON,S arms. MARY BEAVER slapped him vigorously with a towel soaked with stra- tosphere, until his eyes began to focus. Soon he was able to croak that the seams on the wing were falling apart. SHIRLEY KYPER brightly remarked that it wouldnlt be long now. As CHARLOTTE RHINE unconsciously jotted in her notebook this very sly pun, BOB MEGAHAN passed a paper plate around to collect all second hand chewing gum so that we could patch up the seams. NINA ALLEY began sticking it in the cracks, but they kept widening until the ship wobbled and staggered dangerously. Suddenly the ship did a double half gainerg there was a sickening crunch and everything went black. .1 . , ..-1 ,. QW, 'f-..ff-- . f. ij., ,,-.. Hours later, PETE STATES picked his way out of the wreckage, and stared around at his classmates, who he thought must be dead. Just as he decided that the world had come to an end, ANNABELLE HENDERSON sat up and rubbed her head, so the rest of us decided we couldn't be dead and all be in the same place. Wit.h her hrst conscious th-ought, MARI- ANNE RUMBERGER dashed over to a smooth white stone and scratched her name on it, fiendishly pleased that she had gotten there before Kilroy. BETTY HOOVER remarked that we ought to be finding some place to sleep since it was beginning to get dark, and we all complimented her on her sudden good sense. The brilliant VERNON KROUSE suggested that the oversized Lincoln Logs stacked on the side of a boil- ing volcano would make wonderful little lean-to's. He generously offered to supervise the job, but BOB HURLEY thought that his recent mental strain had sapped his strength, and he himself should do it. EVELYN WARNICK was elected chief cook, but there wasn't any- thing to cook. At this point, FRED HARRIS looked at BIOB BAKER, and licked his chops. PHYL NEAD came to his rescue by mentioning that there wasn't enough Pepto-Bismol to go around. Searching parties for food were dispatched, and soon the successful searchers returned. MARIANNE ROTH brought back a little green monster speckled with orange and lavender. Just as JOYCE GROVE was callously drop.ping it in a pot of boiling water, MIKE SCIALABBA grabbed it out of her hands, sobbing pitifully. Thru his tears, Mikie begged to be allowed to keep him for a pet. Suddenly JANET KING loped out of the underbrush chortling in glee. She had dis- covered a mass -of luscious-tasting vegetables that would be perfect for supper. PATTY HALL volunteered to bring back 20 bushels if she could find a knife. BOB Bring 'em back alive SMITH wiped the blood from his trusty gunny knife and handed it to her. NORMAGENE SINCLAIR noticed a bird sitting on a nest, high up in a bean stalk, so climbed up to catch it. Leaning precariously, she dropped bird and eggs into a pot below her, and climbed down with the nest for DOLORES ZOOK, who wanted it for dessert. MILDRED WILSON and JEAN SHIELDS tramped over to a big ant-hill and collected some ants for pudding, which JANICE SHIRM flatly refused to eat. MARGARET VVALLACE and GEORGE WILLIAMSON had the task of hollowing out some coconuts for bowls, so began breaking them over a huge rock. The rock let out a blood curdling howl, revealing that it was attached to the body of one BILL ZAUZIG. Soon, CLARA MOORE yodeled the dinnerx call, and heads appeared from all directions. DORIS BANKS ladled a foul-smelling brew into the outstretched bowls, while VONNIE BEAVER passed around her piece de resistance-snail a la Vonnie. Out of pure politeness, DON BANKS managed to get down two of the little monsters, but was violently ill the rest of the evening. PROPHECY MARTHA BLAIR subtly asked who was going to wash the dishes, but SUSIE SIMPSON thought a much better idea would be to dig a hole and bury them. RUDY BLACK had aspirations for a mortuary, so decided to get in practice by digging the ditch 6x6. As darkness was enveloping us, BECKY NORRIS suggested getting some light on the subject. JAY THOMPSON rubbed furiously on two sticks in his best Boy Scout manner, but finally surrendered to CHARLIE STEEL who lit it immediately with his pipe lighter. The sight of the flames Hickering gave ELEANOR ZEHMER the inspiration of telling a ghost story. Just at the climax of the story, the air was filled with agonizing wails. Everyone froze in pure terror, until FRANCES BOLINGER discovered that it was only FRED BORDELL with a bad case of indigestion. Everyone was thoroughly unnerved, so we decided to save future discussions for the morning, and decide who should take watch. BILL SUBA volunteered willingly, much to our surprise. GEORGE HAWKINS was unanimously voted for second watch as no one could sleep through his snores. At the crack of dawn, we were awakened by ROBERTA IOMO who was running around wringing her hands. DOLLY GARNER claimed she was starved, that must have been her reason for eating the left-over ant pudding. BERTRICE FRAILEY began clamoring for food, too, so MYRA FOSTER grudgingly offered to make oatmeal if ALLEN SOUTH would teach her his secret formula for it. JANE YINGLING fried over the nearest volcano the crocodile eggs MARCELLA SOUDERS found! After breakfast, JOHN GEISER set out with his mechanic, DICK KEPLER, to survey the wreckage of the rocket ship. To escape doing dishes, LOIS GOSS decided to go out look- ing for signs of human life. ARLENE DETER went along for the ride. GAYNELLE RUPERT and RUTH FOUSE were drafted into doing the dishes, but after everyone had gone, Ruth suggested pitching them off the side of t.he planet. JIOI-IN HOYER wanted to kill a dragon, and took DONALD KELLER along with him as bait. CAROL RUTHERFORD had unearthed some little blue bugs that JEAN WALKER thought would make delicious sandwiches for the fellows down at the ship. ANNA SHEA put them in a hollow stone and took them down. All this time BILL CASSATT was sitting under a tree juggling his trig tables with calm assurance. He was charting an approximate location, which DICK COLLEGE thought was somewhere north of the north pole. Having nothing to do, fas usualj, PATTY GARDNER strolled over to the rocket ship to do some sleuthing. Suddenly she noticed Miss Longenecker's knitting, which had caught in the door. EVIE CONPROPST tried to pull it loose, but it wouldn't budge. They followed the string of yarn right to the brink of the planet and noticed that it stretched off into space as far as the eye could see. NANCY RODLI rushed onto the scene, claiming she knew the way home now. We could slide down the string and land right on the field back at Hunting- don. PEGGY ROBB said she refused to do the test flight, so AUDREY BRIGGS suggested we be democratic and draw straws. SAMMY SIMPSON drew the fatal blade, much to DON STATEIS relief, as he was sure that he had been marked. IRENE COOPER handed Sammy a cake of wax to make the going easier for the rest. A mighty push from BARBARA CQRBIN Sent him hurtling off into the blue. After we had waited patiently for 20 minutes, it suddenly dawned on FRED COX that we would have no way of knowing when he would hit bottom. ALICE RILEY bravely went down the string in search of him. Later, MARCELINE MILLER discovered her first, climbing back up hand-over-hand. She said that the yarn had ended and Sammy was clinging desperately to its end, swinging like a pendulum. PROPHECY We were stumped!! What could we do? While ANITA PARKS beat her head on the rocks in frustration, DOTTIE MOSSER quietly unravelled the remainder of the sweater and rolled it into little hunks, so that someone could tie it on the end of the yarn string. FRANK RINKER, the daredevil, sped down the cord on his mission of importance. Later on, since we heard no more from either boys we decided it would be safe to start. JEAN HAWN went down first, screaming in pure excitement. ANNA HETRICK jumped off second, and JOAN NJUMER was close at her heels. The rest followed in close succession. JACK PARKS noticed that the yarn was getting thin in one place and shouted a warning to EDDIE MERILLS who was behind him, but it was too latefthe yarn fell apart in his hngersg but the quick-thinking Jack grabbed Eddie's leg and formed a human life line. KATHERINE KRING slipped down between them and deftly knotted the ends, and our trip was continued. Something appeared in the distance. LOIS KIRK strained her eyes and screamed, It,s a bird ! EDDIE MCKEEHAN said it was a plane 5 then TOOTSIE DAVIS clearly announced that it was Superman. MARGIE EDWARDS sweetly asked him if he would take some of us home to save wear and tear of the yarn. He willingly consented, and ELEANOR CUNNINGHAM promptly jumped around his neck. DON MCEWEN leaped on an elbow and ARTIE KURTZ took the other one. HELEN FOSTER rode -on the cape. As he was flying off, BETTY GRIFFITH and FRANCIS KELLER each grabbed a leg. ARTIE KEGLER sighted land below so PATSY KEPLER leaped off to jump down as she couldnlt Wait her turn. She landed on the unsuspecting HAROLD HOOD. While we were Awaiting for CHARLES HOFFMAN to descend, FLO HAIGHT observed strange lights and noises from the neighbor- ing hill. CAROL HAWN wanted to go investigate. Leaving HAROLD ECKBLADE to inform the kids who hadn't come down where we had gone, we set off, FRED FLUKE in the lead, with a jar of lightning bugs EVELYN HORTON caught for a Hashlight. JEAN HURLEY recognized some landmarks, so we decided we must be near Huntingdon. RUTH KENYON said we were right outside the graveyard, according to her calculations. JOAN PARKS held back the underbrush so we could pass out of the clearing, and whispered to be very quiet so we could find out what was going on. A group of kids were squatting on the tombstones, sadly 1 chanting hymns. FERNE RENAUD remarked that one off-key voice sounded very much like that belonging to KIRBY GRUBB. Sure enough it was, and BETTY MOFFETT picked out the clear .',..n. bass of VERNA MORNINGSTAR. They were rhe kids Whe had missed the rocket ship, and obviously they were performing a 'J.---te burial ceremony for our departed souls. BETTY MILLS came close and passed out cold when she read her name on a tombstone. iiii With shouts of happiness we tore out and embraced them. Poor e ii HELEN MCCRACKEN was so moved she couldn't finish her sandwich, and gave rr to PATTY KYPER, Whe had no such 2 A emotions. if ,I ivii J i ,lj After all of us had returned to our- respective homes, ZANE r rl'A V 1- ee' tl HEFFNER sneaked down to the field to pull the yarn out of the A sky and knit it into a bathing suit.
