Gold l Hoping to build a Utopia from Nature's buried treasures, men from every section and state, from every town and hamlet, responded to their desire for adventure and wealth by racing to the fabulous Land of Prosperity. Fortune smiled on some but frowned on many more. The mind-set of the 49'er, though, was such that initial failures did not in the least discourage him. He had a strong confidence in the final realization of his dreams of wealth, a feeling that was strengthened by a saving sense of humor. This confidence and its protective humor are what made the 49'er, he is noted for his muteness to the cry of defeat and for his blind resolution to succeed. Thus, today, we 49'ers are heirs to the wild spirit of exciting adventure and bold determination typical of America a hundred years ago. ln tribute to the 49'ers and to their influence upon the character of America, we have chosen them and their activities as the theme for our publication of the Argus, with the thought in mind that their experience is symbolic of our own journey into the challenging, west lands of maturity in search of our golden futures. ln planning and organizing the material for use in the Argus, we have attempted to recapture the spirit of times past, not only in our art work but in the manuscript. You will hnd the rhythms of Bret Harte in our poetic attempts, the informality of good fellowship in our thinking, and the freedom of everyday speech in our writing. So it is that in offering to you this Argus in the informal spirit of the 49'ers, we hope that in future years it may bring to mind the golden moments of youth. jf Sn ,..x 4C T....,,....L ,F PP KX LQ .Q We fir fi ARGUS STAFF Editor-in-chief - - Assistant Editor-in-chief Business Managers - Photography and Engravin Class Editors Activities Editors Literary Editors Athletic Editors - Typists Proof Readers - Advisers John Pelan Lynne Banker jane Heine QChairmanj Robert Moore Robert Harlin Lowell Minor Barbara Smith Barbara Simpson David Lutz CChairmanj Warren Stewart Betsy Henderson fChairmanj Katharine Brant Marjorie Peightel Dean Lynn Robert Bagshaw Patricia Jackson fChairmanj Beverly Grafton Betty jane Steele Charlene Garman Kenneth Sheetz John Port Hobart Lang Millie Baker Q-Chairmanj Nancy Mong V Marilyn Rudy George Newcombe fChairmanj David Miller Mary jane Everard CChairman Doris Wagner Erchall Hawn CChairmanj Senior Typing Classes Joanne Chilcote fChairmanj Bradley Hetrick Russell Miller Beverly Brenneman Thelma Stuller Miss Emma Weber Mr. Henry Bowman Mr. Elvin Hess TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Argus Staff - Table of Contents - Administration - Schoolboard ---- Superintendent and Principal Faculty ----- Seniors - - Senior pictures - - Class History - - Senior officers and advisers - Class song - - - Senior Awards - - Commencement Alma Mater - Prophecy Underclassmen Home rooms - - Baby pictures '- Officers and Advisers - VVho's Who - - Studies - 'Classroom - Laboratory - Home Economics - Industrial Arts Gymnasium - Commercial - Clubs - - Argus - Newsreal Hi-Y - Tri-Hi-Y Choral Club - A - Glee Club - A - Band and Tvvirling Corps Cheerleaders - - - Library ---- Entertainment - Prom - - Senior Class Play - Class Plays - - Auditorium - School Dances Radio - - Sports - - Football - Basketball Track - Baseball - Patrons' List Eureka - ADMINISTRATICDN Vigilantes must Work To keep order in camp, Guiding those who would shirk, Reinstating the scamp, Striving ever to teach the young blades, On their minds western lore to enstamp.

H. S. in September of 1945, bewildered and trembling at the thought of all those mysterous, long hallways, confusing stairs, and many class rooms. In our greenness, we must have furnished the superior upper classmen with much of the usual Freshman joke material. The first year accomplished several things for us. We managed to accustom ourselves to the novelty of being in high school, adjusted ourselves to the teachers' habits and requirements, and labored with diligence to pass--just to pass, please! We did pass, miraculous as it seemed to us, and finally we were really and truly Sophomores. In the second year, we took a more active part in sports, music, and all sorts of clubs, while we still continued to rack our brains and strive, not merely to pass, but to get on the coveted honor roll. At last we were promoted to the Junior class, where we finally became upperclassmen. How could we ever forget that wonderful junior year! lt was then that we began to decide what we wanted to do in the future. During the second semester, we sponsored several dances in the gym, the out- standing one being the Sadie Hawkins dance to which everybody came dressed as a traditional Dog- Patch character. But, in the spring, came an event dear to our hearts-Our Prom-'-which was, of course, the best one ever, Toward the end of the year, we checked and rechecked our credits and decided really to work during our last year And then it happened! The class before us was graduated, and we were left to uphold the stand- ards of the Senior class. It took us a while, but we finally became eccustomed to the fact that we were Seniors. During this year, we assumed a lot of responsibility and hard work. There was our class play entitled, Me and My Shadow, which offered so much fun. Then came our Argus with the class numeral, the 49'ers, as a theme! Here again was a lot of excitement intermingled with hard work and planning. As a climax to our activities, we took part in the May Day, which occurs only once in every four years. Now as the year draws to a close, our thoughts rather sadly turn to playing our last games, taking our last tests in H. H. S., and making our exit, diplomas in hand. As we stand in our caps and gowns, we realize that we shall relive many timeslthe happy moments at H. H. S.

Until the many ways we tread, Will lead us far ahead From this our youth, With all the many friends we've known, We'll use the lessons shown And search for truth. All the guidance that our teachers gave, Our way of life has helped to pave, Until each 49,er here, Comes back another year, We'll cherish you. -Jane Heine Mrs. John Pennington, Mary jane Everard, Betsy Henderson, jane Heine, John Pelan, George Newcombe, Robert L. Clark, Commander john Pennington. SENIOR AWARDS Each year Commander john D. Pennington, Superintendent of the Penn- sylvania lnstitution for Defective Delinquents, honors three out-standing boys of the Senior Class. By doing this, Commander Pennington hopes to encourage the qualities of leadership, cooperation, and achievement in the boys of our high school. He stated to the student body and the faculty that the encouragement of youth on the right road to behavior is better than correction after the Wrong road has been taken. In 1947, Mrs. Pennington, our champion of womenls rights, decided that the girls deserve as much recognition as the boys, conse- quently she now presents awards to the three outstanding girls of the Senior Class. These six winners are selected by the faculty by the following rating system: personality and character traits-such as seriousness of purpose, initi- ative, responsibility, honesty, and personal appearanceg curricular activities- which is the average drawn from the candidates' grades for the four years, and extra curricular activities-such as football, basketball, band, class officers, and music. This year we are proud to have as our 1949 representatives for the boys for hrst, second, and third prizes-john Pelan, George Newcombe, and Robert L. Clark. The tirst two received monetary gifts, while the third was awarded a ship model. We are also proud to have as the representatives for the feminine part of our class for hrst, second, and third prizesgjane Heine, Mary jane Everard, and Mary Elizabeth Henderson. The girls' awards were rugs woven by the boys at the P. I. D. D. The Pennington Awards were presented at the annual 'Christmas Assembly in the gymnasium. ln his introductory words, the Commander remarked, Hlt is at this time that we have the true spirit of fellowship which enables us to bestow honor where honor is due. At the close of the presentations, Com- mander Pennington left this thought with us, Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to youf' B1 dley Hetrick, Robert Harlin, John Pelan, Betsy Henderson, Millie Baker, Barbara Simpson, Patricia Jackson Beverly Brenneman, Lynne Banker, Kenneth Sheetz. SENIOR HONORS The students above, walking so gaily across the gym Hoor, are perhaps relaxing after taking the Juniata tests. You may wonder why they are pictured on the 'thonorsn page. The answer is simple-they are the top ten , whose scores head the list of fifty-one seniors who took this test. We decided to investigate this Juniata testing program and bring to you the results of our research. For some years past, Juniata College has sent out trained representatives to test seniors in high schools, both in Pennsylvania and in neighboring states. T.hese tests are psychological and are designed to show to the candidate his fitness and preparation for a college career. In no way do they obligate the taker to enroll at Juniata-they merely give infor- mation as to his college readiness. After several thousand tests have been administered, the papers are corrected, the scores tabulated, and the results returned to the cooperating high schools. Each student may then see his score in the Quantitative and the Linguistic divisions of the test and compare his individual score with that of the group. Finally, the administration receives a graph, showing the norms for all competing schools and the norms for the local school. Thus, both individuals and school districts benefit from a fine testing experience.

Horses pawed the ground in eager anticipation as the sturdy pioneers prepared to set -out upon the dangerous trek across the Allegheny Mountains into the Wilds of the gold fields. From the gates of Fort H. H. S, came running Betty Kyle, Erchall Hawn, and Oma Ewing, who loaded the waiting prairie-schooners with sides of bacon and barrels of salt-pork, the provisions which were to feed the aspiring miners dur- ing their sojurn. ln vain, jim Jones, clinging precariously to the Hag-pole, shouted to the girls that he wouldn't eat such fare. Alton Quarry, in deference to jim's pleas, trotted down to Sherman's General Store and returned with a bag of lady lingers for the jones wagon. At a command from Skip Pelan, who was mounted on a huge white charger, the wagons fell into line. After days of preparation, the wagon-train was at last ready to start. But wait! All eyes turned as Betsy Henderson surrounded by a cloud of sagebrush perfume and wearing the very latest in clod-hoppers and ten-gallon hats, leisurely slinked down the steps of the fort. Finally Skip motioned the procession onward with a dramatic wave of his hand, and immediately fell off his horse because of the violence of the gesture. With the aid of Harold Conlon and James Guyer, Skip remounted, and the 49'ers proceeded north on Portland Avenue and due west at the stop sing on the intersection of Portland and Warm Springs Avenues. Janet Wallace struck up a tune on her guitar, and soon the melancholy voice of Bob College, crooning Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie , could be heard above the creak of the wagon-wheels. However, Bob's singing was abruptly interrupted by Mary Jane Everard, who came running along behind the last wagon, frantically shouting, Wait for me li' Immediately a hand shot out, and Clem Clark helped Mary jane to a seat beside him on the wagon. Perched gracefully atop the first schooner were jane Heine, Barbara Smith, and Betty jane Steel, daintily embroidering borders on the Stetsons of Ron Harris, John Port, and Rusty Miller. After a day of uneventful travel interrupted only by the moans of Margie Peightel who was trying, in vain, to complete her Argus statistics, the valiant travelers arrived at Lincoln Caverns where they were to make camp for the night. Springing from the wagons, Harold Bowser, Walter Kelly, and Bob Widener began to chop wood for the camp-fires. Ruth Beachy, Gladys Bennet, Ardella Dysart, and Maxine Guyton rushed busily about, brewing hot coffee for the weary pioneers. After supper, Ellis Clapper drew the shortest horse hair and accordingly retired to the camp kitchen to wash dishes, while the others remained around the camp-lire, listening to a rendition of The Girl I Left Behind Me by Lee Hearn and Richard Ferrenburg. Sentimental tears oozed from the eyes of Bob Harlin, Bob Bagshaw, Bill Rutter, and Wesley Grove as they thought of the girls they had left behind. At long last, all the travelers settled themselves for the night with the exception of Beulah Bookwalter, Anna Brindle and Louise DeArmitt who with six-shooters loosened in their holsters, stood the first watch, aided by Barbara Brenneman, whose duty it was to chase away marauding gophers. With the break of dawn, the stillness of the camp was abruptly s.hattered by ex-Sea Scout, Rash Isenberg, swinging from the Lincoln Caverns sign, shouting, 'fHit the deck ! After a hearty breakfast of fried weelle-nuts, all the miners, except Lynne Banker, proceeded west on Route 22. Lynne, being fed up with the slow progress of the wagon-train, had deserted during the night after stealing Virginia Donelson's horse, and conliding in Anna Fisher her intention of taking the water-route, via South America, to California. 42 ,hex Ggzfffqgsig 6 hx ff if X on. smr J---licfa,-13-'rJ T?'r f -' iw?

Garner were required to keep Millie Baker from leaving the ranks of the 49'ers. By now, the wagon- train had penetrated deeper into the wildernessg and a party of scouts composed of Peg Snare, Barbara Foust, Charlene Garman, and Joanne Heck, and headed by Olive Huey was dispatched to warn the caravan in case of possible Indian attack. After several hours, during which Nancy Mong waved for- lornly to the driver of the ancient Dodge which had followed the schooners ever since their departure from the fort, the peace of the assembly was violently disturbed by a shout of, 'fT.he Injun's are comin, l from Peg Snare as she galloped frantically back to the wagons. With a great deal of shouting from Calamity Jane Croft, and amidst a cloud of yellow dust, the drivers quickly drew their vehicles into a huge circle, and the women and children prepared to defend the men. The pioneers huddled in tense expectation behind the upturned schooners, awaiting the inevitable blood-curdling war-hoops. Just as the first arrow struck the Conestoga wagon of Maybelle Henney, the half-clad savages swarmed from the hills in a blaze of irridescent feathers and painted bodies. Don Greene scurried in terror to a position of safety behind the skirts of Joanne Wingate who bravely defended his life with her frying pan. Only one male was brave enough to join the women in fighting and that was Wild Bill Edwards, who took a heavy toll in Indian lives. Spitting tobacco juice and adding notch after notch to his trusty riHe, Bill shouted for more ammunition to Barbara Gump, who was throwing darts at the nearest Indians. Kitty Brant, lying on her stomac.h under a tarpaulin, carefully took aim and fired, as one red-skin after another bit the dust. After several hours of heavy lighting, the situation was remedied by Beverly Brenneman and Betty Buchanan who disintegrated the milling savages with a terrible chemical compound which they had concocted. Those who escaped this horrible fate quickly took to the hills. A rapid count of noses was made before the pioneers again faced west. Marilyn Rudy was the only one missing from the group, and popular opinion had it that she had run away to rejoin her beloved Indian relatives. Westward Ho! shouted John Mierley from behind the wheel of his Buick, and the wagon train proceeded onward. After the train had traveled for several days and had observed no recognizable land marks, Kenneth Sheetz became quite agitated and started hopping excitedly up and down, shouting, But I know we're going the wrong wayg I did a report on it once . . . For weeks the hearty travelers faced the desert wastes. The hot sun beat mercilessly down upon them and thirst-crazed Dick Kerchner, Bob Stever, and Jay Thompson mumbled incoherently for water. Helen Wilson and Margaret Caldwell attempted to divert them by singing Old Man River. When the wagon-train reached the Red River Valley, Carl Summers, weary of the dry lands of the prairies, bade farewell to the 49'ers and settled down to a homestead on a small patch of fertile farm-land. The travelers wended their way slowly northwest-ward, with Ken Corbin intermittently shooting buffaloes and so supplementing the rations which were supplied by the dozen schmoos, purchased at the last stop, Al Capp junction. Upon reaching Cheyenne, Wyoming, the pioneers were deprived of some of their number when Ann Simpson and June Black won a saloon in a poker-game. They promptly employed Onie McCool and Aline McCartney as can-can girls and Isabelle Coffman, Martha Cramer, and Laura Crownover as bar-maids. Bob Baker graciously accepted their offer of a position as bar-tender and accordingly removed his carpet-bag from the wagon of Don Gutshall, with whom he had made the trip. That night, the miners left Cheyenne rather hurriedly, because of the fact that a posse was searching for Paul Couch, Carl Felton, and Don Gibboney who had been selling spats to the local yokels. Riding in front of the wagon-train were Marian Cohenour, Joanne Chilcote and Margie Grubb, who lighted the pioneers west-ward by focusing Hash-light beams on their diamonds to reflect their brilliance. 43 f c L 3 Jafh xi'fNpJ ,M XX TW W Q gif it QE' ii QQXXX X ,fa-D f ffl N X 5 f wi 'F FiJf-Z f-fm 9 -f Ciilllllpi ' L L -N ' I Q 2'-Q65 XI' A 5 .4.2 X I ,CF if l kQ5,Nr gffgfffxikr-'sxlg X F? flblx T F Wi W?

M' m it As morning brought glory to the green grass of Wyoming, Warren Stewart, clad in his smock and beret, leaped joyfully from the back of his mule, and happily began painting a picture of a pile of sun-bleached cattle-bones, calling all the while to Dick Kennedy to bring his brushes and turpentine. At this point, the screeching of brakes and a loud crash announced the simultaneous arrival and collapse of a beat-up Ford, carrying Fred McKinney and Barbara Simpson who had lingered in Cheyenne to buy spinning wheels in anticipation of opening an antique shop in California. The wagon-train then proceeded, after Warren had been lured away from the fascination of the desert panorama by repeated promises of being allowed to sketch Judy Friedland on horse-back. Upon reaching San Francisco, Hobart Lang fnow known as Doctor Langj set up a stand to sell a remedy of his own concoction which was guaranteed to kill corn-blight, relieve rheumatism, and cure leprosy. Dean Lynn, his assistant, submitted humbly to Dr. Lang's demonstrations. Filled with the spirit of adventure which prevailed in California, Raymond Banks and Edward Ergler dropped their conservative ways and erected a saloon which they named Cowboys' Cabaret of Clodhopper Creekf' Immediately they hired and began rehearsing Joyce Rupert, Pat Schirm, Jean Shultz, Alice Zook, and Connie Zook as chorines. These girls were billed as the 'Can-Can Cuties, and, at their opening performance, had tintype photos of themselves snapped by the most enthusiastic Dave Lutz. By this time, the 49'ers were rapidly leaving the ranks, each in pursuit of his own fortune. One en- terprising young man, Bradley Hetrick, discovered there was much more money in selling red dye to Russia than in mining gold. Accordingly, he opened a dye factory, raised cranberries as the main raw material, and hired Buzz Snare as foreman, Artie Kurtz as time keeper, and Ken States, Eugene Steele, Fred Smith, and Charles Finkle to labor by the day. Finding the town in desperate need of diversion, Bob McGahan opened an opera-house, whose feature attraction was The Trials of Tessie , starring himself as the villain, Joyce Westover as Tessie, and George Newcombe as the hero, Alan Strongheart. Between acts, Margaret Phillips entertained the patrons by singing O Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight P Marvin Kegler offered, his services as bouncer, and began performing his duties by throwing Lump Davis out for eating celery during the melodrama. In an airmail letter mysteriously bearing no signature, Tom Hess received a map of a lost gold mine and galloped through the town in search of his cohorts, Earl Householder and Jim Henney. Having found them in a local pool-room, he immediately dispatched Earl to purchase mining-gear from Fred Coffman, better known as Fixit Fred , who owned and operated a little repair shop and general store around the corner from Zeke Isenberg's colossal new Chop Suey House. With the utmost secrecy. Tom and his party set out by night in search of the mine. In spite of all their precautions, however, desper- ados Chet Lowe and Mike Crone learned of their good fortune and galloped ahead to Eagle Rock, several miles north of San Francisco, where they lay in wait for unsuspecting miners. After a wait of five minutes, Tom was seen rounding the bend of the road, followed by Jim and Earl and the newly hired camp-cook, Pete Forshey. The ambushers rushed headlong on their victims and quickly confiscated the map. As they fled in haste, however, they came face to face with a party of vigilantes composed of Poog Hoffman and Dick Gutshall, headed by Sheriff Shine Miller, who impressively twirled his long mustache and ordered his men to hang the offenders from the nearest tree. Everyone leaped to obey and after justice had been done and rigor mortis had set in, they returned to town with the bodies which were taken in charge by John Hoover, the town mortician. Two days later, they were planted and read over by Dave Miller. The tears flowed like wine as Beverly Grafton and Pat Jackson sang Blood On The Saddle. 44 L. .L - 'BZ Ti it O 4'Q63Allii in! ffl J X ' ll Ni N3Qk.'!TlEQH'g 0 f 'T vf '15 I T! I' N , ?

As the congregation left the church, they ran head on into Norma Greene who was hurrying to keep an appointment with Lilly Worthing whom she had to interview for the Minor and Moore Monthly News , owned and operated by Lowell Minor and Bob Moore, who currently were not on speaking terms because of a controversy over whether or not the next editorial should denounce the immodest length of school teacher Ruby Yoder's skirts. Their proof-readers, Lucy Newingham and joan Metz, were in a constant fever of anxiety as to the financial status of the paper since both editors stubbornly refused to work. Coming down the road, wearily toting huge sacks of gold, were miners, Lois Wallace, Beverly Souders, Helen Norris, and Mary jane Moran. Doris Wagner and Thelma Stuller trudged along behind, catching in their calico sun-bonnets the gold dust that sifted through the sacks. At a call from the side of the road, all the girls turned to see Jim Rudy, leaning leisurely in the doorway of his livery-stable in which he had built a thriving business selling the wagons which the pioneers had used on the journey to California from Fort Huntingdon. His chief salesman, Josephine Mcllroy, began demonstrating to the girls the advantages of a Conestoga wagon. Her sales talk was so convincing that Beverly insisted on buying the wagon to haul the gold home from their mine. After paying for their purchase, they left the stable and walked on down the dusty road. Before Miss jane Brown's Academy for Decayed Gentlewomenu, they encountered Ioan Hurley and Margaret Hoover, who were laying the plans for a new town they intended to found, called Hollywood. The entire party proceeded to the Dirty Shame Saloon for a coke. Sitting at a table was the notorious gambler, Gentleman Bill Raker. In his mouth was a long cigar and, with cool nonchalance, he occasionally flicked away the ashes, as he shoved aside the three beautiful women, Alda Enyeart, Betty Brumbaugh, and Dot Hollingshead, who clung lovingly to him. Sitting on the bar was Barbara Endres who sang in a sultry manner VVhy, Oh, Why, Did I Ever Leave Wyoming?,' accompanied by Pat Foust playing the accordian. Marie Garner, Milwee Evans, and Ethel M. Garner warbled a touching refrain at the end of each verse much to the consternation of Mary Beaver who was moved to weeping into the rum she was serving to Bob D. Clark and Bob Logue, these characters, having become wharf-rats since their arrival in San Francisco, downed their drinks and left the saloon to go to their work at the docks. As the two Bobs began unloading a newly-arrived cargo vessel, they were stunned to see Lynne Banker, dressed in a fantastic Latin costume, rumba-ing down the gang plank of a slow boat from Chile, shouting Ole! Ole ! An elderly millionare followed adoringly at her heels. Although two years late in reaching California, Lynne had struck it rich in South America. 45 J UNDERCLASSMEN Little braves look around A big rock on the plain, Watching miners hell-bound, For the gold-fields to gain.

Old cook knows that men who must labor Must have vittles to ward off defeat. Students, too, daily work At the business of life, Where emergencies lurk, Where We face pain and strife. We learn how to glean joy from living, To exist undefeated by life. x Ky CLASS ROOM VVell fortified with text books, ncmndescriptvyellowu pencils, and inquiring minds, we troop blithely into one of our formal classroom sessions-History, English, Mathematics, or a foreign language. Study is forgotten for a few moments as our eyes wander around the room, glancing over the latest posters and pictures that adorn the bulletin bords. These are frequently changed by the teachers who strive to provide an atmosphere in keeping with the current phase of their subject. After a final look at the board and at our favorite painting on the wall, we turn our minds again to study. ln order to prevent the boredom that comes with routine, the understanding teachers present us with a varied program of work. Many of the periods are spent in study and recitation while others are taken up with written work at the blackboards, which we never fail to enjoy. Sometimes a class session is devoted to a lively discussion, and-it goes without saying that always end up with a heated argu- ment! Another method of instruction often used is that of playing phonograph records in order to encourage our earminded qualities. There is no better cure for the familiar Monday morning blues than to come into class and lind a stack of treasured English or Spanish recordings awaiting us I Aside from all the knowledge that we gather in our school and classrooms, there are many other valuable gains. We learn to work together with a spirit of good-will and co-operation 5 we acquire poise and self-confidence from the social relationship with our fellow students and teachers. VVhen the future comes to meet the present, we shall be prepared to take our rightful places in a progressive world. 62. LABORATORY Any strange or explosive noises heard about the school, or any unusual and unpleasant odors are usually attributed to the Chemistry and Physics laboratory where young scientists are trying to find out if all those laws really are based on fact. How can they find out? just experiment, of course, and have no regard for sensitive noses or expensive clothing. Science must march ahead! As we enter the room, we see an extremely large table behind which Mr. Meloy lurks in lab apron and scientihc frame of mind. To our left are twelve tables which line the aisles, each table seats four students who work together. Also, in the tables are to be found drawers and cupboards which contain upeto-date and expensive apparatus. In the rear of the room, we notice a series of shelves which hold the chemicals that the students use. To the left of the shelves is an adjoining room where large supplies of chemicals are kept. Now that the stage is set, what goes on? With preparatory information buzzing around in our heads, with caution given and reiterated, we coniidently set up experiments. We follow directions, look- ing with pleasure on successful results and with horror on failures. Finally we record our findings and then wash up. When we aren't busy with these mysterous experiments, our class sessions are held in room 38 adjoining the lab. Here we delve into the problems of the text and discuss any questions that arise. The blackboard is in constant use and Mr. Meloy's home room boys are always puzzling over the meaning of H C L and a lengthy array of equations. But whether welre in the lab or 38, we always come to the same conclusion at the end of a hard dayls work-Yes, Einstein was right! 63 HOME ECGNOMICS Almost any day, one can stroll down the corridor toward Room 35, led by a pleasant aroma issu- ing from the well-equipped Home Economics Room. If our ancestors of 1849 could gaze upon this room with its electrical appliances and modern furnishings, they would be amazed to find all these things which they might have thought were impossible. The modern '49 Home Ec. girls have all the things that their ancestors had never even dared t dream about. They learn to make clothing on electric sewing machines and, later in the year, give a style show and a tea to display their talents. Here in a model kitchen, they learn to cook exciting new foods and are even brave enough to eat their products. All of the results, of course, aren't successful, but an unsavory concoction is rare. The Home Ec. students give two banquets during the year, one to Cl the faculty and one to our athletes. From their study of Home Economics, the girls also receive valuable training in family relationship, personal grooming, and child care. Thus the school does its part by helping to provide good wives and mothers for the future families of America! l w l l l l w SHOP We often wondered what the H. H. S. shop, located at 18th Street, was like and how it functioned, so, one day, we had the privilege of going up the path worn by our industrious industrialists to see them at work. It was their Open House and what a fine exhibit they had! The Shop students proudly took us on a tour of their establishment. We first went into the draft- ing room where the boys make their patterns and plan their projects, all scientifically done according to the best mathematical standards. After seeing the plans under way, we proceeded into the wood-working shop. Here pieces of wood are pounded and sawed by the future carpenters, while workers in another section run a lathe. Next we visited the sheet-metal class in the back section of the shop. Many intri- cate and delicate articles are here fashioned. At this point, the girls were all excited over a bracelet, a souvenir of the occasion. Looking further, we discovered other related arts-welding, electricity, plastics, and automobile and machine shop fundamentals. After wandering about among the beautiful exhibits and the gleaming rows of machines, we concluded our tour with the thought: 'tHere, indeed, is young Industrial America. 6 GYM lf we pupils look a little weary during the school day, it may be because of our early morning gym classes, which call us to stretch our muscles and to move our reflexes in answer to a strenuous gym program. How about coming with us to a typical gym demonstration? The class usually begins with the melodious shout of the instructor, f'Fall in! Answer to roll-call! Count off by three's! Everybody accounted for? All right, welre going to play basket- ball, after you run around the gym fifteen laps. So, after fifteen long laps around the gym, we find our enthusiasm for playing basketball is somewhat lowered and, after trying to figure who will play on each side for two basket- ball teams, it is almost time for showers. A few brisk rushes with the ball, and we find our period is over. The cold showers Hpepl' us up, and we realize th ere are only three minutes till the bell rings. On other occasions, you may find us engaged in all sorts of mental alert- ness and physically co-ordinatedl' games. We have relays, formulate group teams, and, in the girls' classes, dance to native folk tunes. Yes, gym means physical alertness, group participation, and good teamwork. COMMERCIAL The sight of such busy students, eyes intent on shorthand notes and lingers llying over the typewriter keys, might well cause prospective oiiice employers to pause and seek no further than the Commercial Department of H. H. S. for competent secretaries, The goal of Commercial competence is not reached by any haphazard selection of studies but by a well-planned and carefully-taught course of study. The prospective secretary, when he presents himself as an applicant for a position, has on his record two years of shorthand and typing, one year of bookkeeping, and one semester each of business correspondence and office practice. The candidate for General Business experience, in addition to typing and bookkeeping, has had one year of business mathematics and a semester each of salesmanship, office practice, business law, and business correspondence. Both groups have had wide experience in handling the mechanics of spelling and grammar, in skillful tiling, and in learning how to operate the machines of the modern office. The typing of articles for the school publications, Newsreal and Argus, is just one of the many public services which the students of the Commercial Department perform for the school. li CLUBS When their labor is done At the end of the day, Miners stop one by one, Lay their shovels away And fill the night air with their singing.

S. may be said to be the headquarters of the Argus staff as it plans and carries out a full program of yearbook production. Suppose we saunter around the book-laden room and see how our Argus is made. Our tour begins in May, here we find a group of juniors in a huddle, wrinkled brows indicating intense concentration on an elusive theme. A silence, a suggestion, a shout of victoryAwe have found it! Of course, itls our old pal, the 49'er, who will be featured. Then comes the 'tdummyu-a small one but, nevertheless, a hint of what is to come. ln the fall, a Ureal dummyn-and we settle down to work. Skip Pelan, editor, and Lynne Banker, associate editor, make the library their office. The tiling cabinet is the official Argus repository of any- thing that turns up. Dave Lutz goes about with an eye open to possible photographs, and his appearance is marked by the clicking of cameras and the flashing of bulbs. l Warren Stewart and Dave have many head-to-head conferences over the finished products, stored in enve- lopes and marked for the engraver, also, they have many good laughs over Hunphotogenicn subjects. Towards spring, the plot thickens. Now we see groups, or is it herds, of 49'ers digging for pay dirt in H. H. S. history. Betsy Henderson corrals her '- ' f 'cave'--Hw m:rJ---ses .

Now let's really get some pep into our articles this month and make them interesting, speaks the authoritative voice of Betsy Henderson, editor. All reporters hang on her words, taking down suggestions and following important leads. Some may dash out, pencil in hand, to interview somebody on an important subject. Cthers may be wrinkling their brows over a catchy headline or correcting a paper severely marked in red. Yes, an article must be newsy, timely, and correct to please editor and adviser. The staff is composed of groups working on either news writing or feature editing. Lynne Banker, the efficient news editor, has charge of reporters who write about the doings in the high school. After the articles are turned in to Lynne, she corrects them and gives them to Miss Coder. The other group of reporters write feature or imaginative stories. These articles are handed to the feature editor, Barbara Smith, who then performs a similar duty. Other editors who play an important part in publishing the paper are the sports editors, Doris Wagner and Bob Harlin, who bring us a blowfbyfblow account of sports events. We must not forget our hard-working crew who cover themselves with glory as well as ink by setting up the type for printing. The finished Newsreal is delivered by a group of industrious carriers to the home rooms for distribution to the students. At last it is out. The pictures, timely and clever, are admired, the jokes are much appreciatedg and the articles are read with interest. After it is read from cover to cover, the Newsreal is folded away and stored among our souvenirs.

Discussions, conferences, social events, and good fellowship-these are the materials out of which a profitable and successful Hi-Y year is constructed. The structure which the boys are so earnestly erect- ing is an intangible one, but none the less real for being intangible-f'High standards of Christian character in school and communityf' At the Older Boys' Conference in Uniontown, Kenneth Sheetz was elected vice president. Much that was worthwhile in the realm of youth discussion was the order of the conference days, with an opportunity for each delegate to make worthwhile and lasting friendships, and to bring home to his club something of value for future consideration. The theme of the conference, Youth Builds a New Worldl' was very appropriate to the present-day problems of the young people. The Second Semester always finds the club deep in discussion, based on the well-known Teen Talk subjects. Such personal topics as Do I Like Attention ? , What Makes Me .Attractive ? , Do I VVorry About the Future PU, What About My Atomic Future ? and many others engrossed the thoughtful attention of the club members. No Hi-Y year would be considered complete without Teen Talks. The dance held in partnership with the Tri-Hi-Y was a decided success, proving that social behavior can be a vital part of the Four-Fold Life. The officers of the club were: Kenneth H. Sheetz, President, Fred Shaffer, Vice-Presidentg Robert Mcflahan, Secretaryg Charles Shaver, Treasurerg and Mr. Kenneth Sheetz, Adviser.

California, here we come ! No, that isn't an echo of the cry of the 49'ers, but actually a caravan of modern '49 Tri-Hi-Y girls singing as we travel to the annual conference. We weren't going to the state of California by wagon train but just a busload of happy travelers to California State Teachers' College, California, Pennsylvania. We twenty-live, as free delegates, left Huntingdon at the unearthly hour of six A. M. The long trip was enlivened by our munching on sandwiches, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs as we covered the miles to our destination. After getting lost about hve times, we finally found our way. The one and only sign post we saw on the entire trip read California 2 Milesf' Arriving at our destination near the end of the morning session, we began a happy day. There were inspiring lectures, luncheons, swimming and danc- ing. On the return trip, we whiled away the time by singing and sleeping. A successful conference was reported to all interested friends. The conference just described is typical of all Tri-Hi-Y activities. Good fellowship, high ideals, and straight thinking mark the path of the club. Teen Talks make us think of personal problems and their possible solutions. Conferences educate us, dances enliven us, and friendships formed by club activities will never be forgotten.

BAND The band unit pictured above is one of the most colorful and complete musical organiza- tions that Huntingdon has ever developed. In precise marching and musical tone, they have become a lX'larching Hundredw that stands out in any competition. Grade-school musicians added greatly to the morale as well as to the melodic effect of the band. The director is preparing them for full-tledged status as high-school band members in a few years. An important event of the year was the arrival of the striking new cadet-style uniforms consisting of red and white trimmed hats, red jackets with silver-gray shoulder cords, and white cross-belts topping blue trousers. .lane Heine, the attractive blonde drum majorette, led the band through all the parades and drills at the '48 football games, the Firemen's Parade, the Armistice Day Parade, and the 'Community Chest celebration. The pep band, whose members are recruited from the band unit, did much to boost school spirit by the lively music they provided at football and basketball pep meetings, sending us to 10:20 classes humming On, W'isconsin and Notre Dame Victory Marchfl This fine organization also provided music at the basketball games. The school orchestra, including several younger members, added variety to our school programs. The band and orchestra joined forces at the annual Christmas Program presented in the gym on Decem- ber 22.

Amidst all th activity comes a shrill whistle, and then the voice of our efficient majorette, jane Croft, shouts, Get in 'io ir ranksf' There is a hustle and bustle, another whistle sounds, and the procession falls into step. Marching down the main street of the town, the units arrive at the foo 'll field where they wait until time to go on. At a signal, these sixteen beauties again come to order and, strutting smartly, lead the band across the field, under the bright glare of the powerful lights. Their flashy new red and white uniforms, along with the new blue uniforms of the band, make a spot of brilliant color against the green of the football field. lletween halves come the skits which have been prepared according to a lay-out and practiced till perfection is reached. Many of the skits are typical of the one in which the twirling corps was divided into two football teams and Sonny Scialabba was the hero of the winning team. The girls carried him away on their shoulders to the tune of the Victory Marchf, Another favorite display was the heart formed by the band, with the arrow piercing the heart made by the twirlers. ,X final feature of each football game is the Yictory March through the town. However, should we happen to lose the game, the highvsteppers accept the defeat with good sportsmanship and leave War Vets Field in the usual procession. Here too, heads are high and feet move in perfect rhythm, as the Twirlers lead the band in honor of the team. til Mary Davis, Betty Richards, Audrey llrown, Mary Crone, Joyce XN'arfel, Ruth Snyder, Barbara VVarniek, Beverly Grafton lletty jane Steele. Have you ever wondered if it's fun to be a cheerleader? Wfell, it is. From the first excitement as a green and terrified Freshman till you are a 'tveteranu Senior, itls all fun. ,Xfter many weeks of practicing and with muscles stiff and sore, some are selected for the cheerleading squad. Before being chosen, we appeared before the judges who watched us do our stuff. XVe surely were petrified. Once in, however, we found a cheerleadr's life fascinating. The night before a big pep meeting, the cheerleaders get together and plan the program. There is an attempt to break the monotony by having a new cheer once in a while, such as the Lean Cheerl' which became popular this year. The day of pep meeting, cheerleaders are dismissed from class early in order to get everything ready. Excitement mounts as the bell rings, and it is time for the audience to come trooping into the gym all set to cheer vigorously. The greatest thrill of being a cheerleader comes when a united student body follows directions with force and precision. Marching with the band is also one of the favorite activities of a cheerleader, even if it means wading through ankleedeep mud. Football games are exciting times, too, when the cheerleaders sit right next to the bench where the strategy of the game in being laid. In basketball, we are again 'way out in front, sometimes getting mixed up in the official huddle or even holding up the game with an extra long cheer.

Here we Hnd the industrious library assistants, who work unceasingly during the school days to keep the books in good order. From 8:00 a. m. to 3 :OO p. m., a librarian is on hand to .help any student who is in a quandary as to what he should read for a book report, where he can find the latest current event, or how to spell a difficult word he heard some teacher use in the day's lesson. Of course the librarians not only look for books but also collect fines, dust shelves, and help to cata- logue the books and cards. ln the midst of all this perplexing work, we have the absent-minded student who leaves part of his belongings in the library and a few days later expects the librarian to know exactly where they are. Then, too, there is the ever-present problem of Scotch-taping f'Life , the libraryls most popular magazine! The position of library assistant is voluntary. .Xny one who wishes to know more about books and library procedure may join the staff at the beginning of the school term. At a preliminary meeting, the volunteers receive instructions as to proper procedures. From then on, each serves one or more periods a week when he is on his own to grapple with the weighty problems of library management. Both boys and girls may volunteer their services as library assistants. Many people believe that being a librarian is all work and no play. However, this is not the case. Although there is a large amount of work to be done in keeping a smoothlyfrunning library, there is also a lot of fun involved. You have all noticed the colorful decorations that adorn the library during the dilTerent holiday seasons, The alert librarians take this decorating in stride with their other duties since they enjoy working in pleasant surroundings as well as do the students. Of course, the biggest pleasure of the year is the party the librarians have at the end of school, when the Senior Librarians are honored for their services. ENTERTAINMENT Miners youthful and old, Like to be entertainedg So with pouches of gold, And with joy unrestrained, To the Honky-tonks go all the miners, Greet performers with pleasure unfeigned Students in their best clothes, Come to laugh and to dance, Dressed in buttons and bows, Living high school romance.

He pulled up beside a strange building, hitched his two mules, Clem and Tine, and ventured a look about. The first thing that caught his eye was both pleasant and gruesomeg-a rugged sign-post pointing west, with gold nuggets under it, and a dead cow head looking at him from the top. Following the sign west, Sam came upon a pick and shovel and a couple of wagon wheels. He said to himself, Thought I was east, but it shore looks like the Gold Rush to me. As he strolled about, he noticed that on one side of him were desert and mountains with a fellow 49'er panning goldg and on the other side of him was a town. He figured he should have driven on in but, upon closer observation, found that the town was a large painted freize which must have been laboriously slaved over by some certain energetic and artistic individuals. Sam was 86 THE PRDM a bit disappointed at the illusion because that Last Chance Saloon looked pretf ty nice. Turning around, however, he saw '1Club 49'er in bright lights, and his spirits brightened until he saw that an orchestra was sitting on the front porch barring his entrance. He recognized the music-makers immediately as joe Knepper and his boys. Sagebrush, thinking the piano player needed some inspiration, was all ready to hll ,him full of lead, but a sign saying Don't shoot the piano playerg he's doing the best he can, stop- ped him. After wandering about among the well-dress- ed Hstompers and prome- nadersf' and observing the many details of authenic Gold Rush days such as the bags laden with gold and the crossed pick and shovel which adorned the walls, he shook his head and declared, 'Shore is a page out of the VVest.', Then climbing sadly into his wagon, he switched Clem and Tine and continued his westward course. HT SENIOR PLAY On March 17 and 18, the 49'ers presented Me and My Shadow to a capacity audience which thoroughly enjoyed the well-interpreted play. When Will Warren, a young airplane pilot, is sent to Colesville to Find a location for an airport for the Allstate Airlines, he decides to work through the city-manager, Harry jordan. The ideal location for the airport is a property owned by Samuel Lewis, who hates airplanes and everyone connected with them. When Mr. jordan fails to convince Mr. Lewis, julie Lewis, his young and pretty daughter, invites VVill to her home for dinner. Will and julie decide to tell Samuel that Will wants his property for a nursery. Before Will asks julie's father, he meets Gramma Lewis, who can't hear very well but who is the real owner of the property. fulie's young sister, Beverly, blackmails Will because she knows he works for the Allstate Airlines, while Mrs. Lewis, the understanding mother, tries to keep peace in the family. Mr. Lewis finally consents to sell the land when things are interrupted by the forced landing of an airplane whose pilot turns out to be Don Farley, a friend of Will. Don is accompanied by Alice Merrill, one of Will's old flames. They recognize VVill, and as Mr. Lewis is about to explode in a fit of anger, julie tells him that they mean VVill's twin brother, Bill. Things go along fairly well, with Will playing a double role, until Mr. Lewis demands to see both twins at once. just when Will and julie have given up hope, Gramma, who isn't so deaf as everyone thinks, enters and announces that she has sold the land for an airport. She has just come from her first airplane ride and calmly announces that on the following day she intends to make a parachute jump.

JUNICR CLASS PLAY john Barrett, youthful hero of the Junior Class Play, and his pal Len McAllister, have just enough money scraped together to send for a Banchester Spinner fishing rod and reel. When Mother Barrett steps into the picture and insists that her son get a haircut, Len decides to undertake the job of barbering john in order to save their money for the coveted rod and reel. Something goes wrong with Len's skill in barbering, however, and the situation becomes ridiculously complicated. Happily, John's and Len's troubles are finally over when Dr. Howard, a friend of the family, remembering that he was a young boy once himself, gives them a genuine 'LWater-Willowu fishing rod and reel! The cast was composed of: David Appleby, Kenneth Leonard, Ann Miller, Mary Davis, Charles Baker, and Katharine Douglass. FRESHMAN CLASS PLAY Wildcat Willie is on the rampage again, as the Freshmen end the year's dramatic season with their first high school play. Poor Wildcat l How hard he works at maintaining his reputation as a hard-boiled, regular guy! But in private life, how humiliated he is to be a household assistant-drying dishes and dusting the living room. The climax comes when Wildcat gets dragged into a situation of acute embarrassment- helping his sister straighten the hem of her dress. There stands Willie, clad in a dainty feminine garment, when Kathie and Celia arrive. His feelings hit a new low, however, when his friends, Joe and Vernon, come to call. From that time on, Willie's interpretation of a young lady is something to remember. All is well, though, when the young boys are reminded that they, too, help with the housework. The Freshmen who took part in the play were: Shirley Goss, Townley Biddle, Betty Ann Ellis, Ronald Gibson, Santino Scialabba. C AUDITGRIUM Everyone is enthusiastic and lilled with anticipation when a program is scheduled to be given in the auditorium. First, we have the Lyceum numbers-a variety of programs of a thoughtful or entertain- ing nature. This year there were presented a group of trained dogs, a quartette, some marionettes, and several lectures. The next type of program comes to us through the generosity of the American Legion. When a group of vvell-knovvn singers is scheduled for their group, the Legion makes provision for us to hear them too. We feel as though we are old friends of the Deep River Boys, vvhose musical renditions have come to us on several occasions. Thanks, Legion! Although we appreciate outside talent, We also have proved that We can have some Worthwhile programs originated by our ovvn students. This was shown at the Christmas program which featured the music clubs. The radio script Was Written by students who used the theme World Peace to give a very Worthwhile tribute to the Christmas season. 92 The popular entertainers are always very well received by the student body as may be witnessed by the numerous en- cores requested of the Mills Brothers and the Deep River Boys, who are shown at the right. Especially interesting this year was the marionette performance of Robin Hood presented by the Warntlell Brothers, following which an explanation of a mar- ionette's construction was made, and the tricks of the trade were revealed. SCHOOL DANCES El The highlight of the school week comes with the regular Friday night dances that the Senior Class sponsors after the basketball games. Wihztt a buzz of conversation in the halls! People can be seen standing here and there, chatting about the outcome of the game, the newest fads, or the fun they intend to have at the dance. VVhen we open the doors, strains of music from our favorite erooner's latest ree- ord float out on the dance lloor. Although we never have Vaughn Monroe in per- son, we can still swoon to his melting lyrics as we play his wonderful recordings. On the floor we see many dreamy Nw, ,,..,d, dancers who hope that the music will never end, while sitting on the bleachers are many bashful bachelors whasare summoning their courage to ask that certain someone for the next dance. We also see some jokesters slyly telling their favorite shaggy dog storyl' or just being the life of the party. But Wait! The lights arcn't dimmed yet--There, thatys bet- ter! Now we see a crowded gym rloor. First we hear a slow, dreamy song, and then a jivy platter that's rt-ally hep. Danc- ing contests are sometimes held, and various prizes are offered, such as awards to the best slow dancing couple and the best jit- terbugging couple. This prac- tice nevcr fails to arouse the spirits of competition in our dancers. Thus we sum up one of the fond memories which we will always cherishfthe Friday night dances! RADIG I With knocking knees and nervous hands, we stand trembling before the mike. Someone hoarsely expresses a wish to be happily exiled in Lower Slobovia. ,Xs our sense of humor has long since vanished, no sounds of laughter issue forth from our dry throats. All is silent. . . . Suddenly the red signal flashes! We hear the long-awaited announcement: Huntingdon Schools are on the Air. The zero hour is here! The announcer gives the signal and with weak and quavering voices, we launch upon our radio careers. As the first tense seconds progress, our courage rises in leaps and bounds. Soon our voices assume a dramatic firmness, and the minutes fly only too quickly . . . Then we hear the welcome strains of the Alma Mater. A successful program has come to its endg the studio is filled with our sighs of relief! At this point, do you wander what goes on behind the scenes of these fifteen-minute broadcasts? As this query cannot be answered in two or three words, we shall try to explain the whole process. Several weeks before a program, a group of us meet with an adviser. We discuss the possibilities of the program and decide upon our theme. Then we make a crude draft or outline of the material to use as a guide. From this, the script is written and rewritten until it linally reaches a complete and approved form. lly this time, the program is usually only a day away! Now remains the job of assigning the speaking parts to the different students. After much bribing and many pep talks on the invaluable experiencef' we manage to hll our quota of speakers. After we familiarize ourselves with the script, we dash down to WHUN for some last minute rehearsing. Here we are greeted by a helpful announcer who briefs us on the technicalities involved in standing before a mikeehow to hold the script, how to hold our heads, and how not to rattle papers! At this point, we have reached the end of the radio cycle. With knocking knees and nervous . . . SIG 97 cgi fp sPoRTs wh F X ,l Ni y i Silllfsl ji N Wifi lg W V A Gleeful shouts, waving hats!

Although winning only three games out of an eleven-game schedule, the Huntingdon High Bear- cats, plagued by injuries and a change in the coaching staff, compiled what might be called an enviable record considering the circumstances. Mr. Vince Chimente started the '48 grid season as head coach and in the middle of August greeted approximately 35 candidates. Mr. Chimente replaced the traditional Huntingdon single wing attack with the T-formation. With about 18 returning lettermen forming the l nucleus of the team, the Bearcats were steadily improving when Mr. Chimente announced his resignation, following the Huntingdon win over Mt. Union. Assistant Coach Mr. Corbin guided the Bearcats against Westmont the following Friday night. The next week found Mr. George Weaver, former Bearcat gridder, in the driver's seat. Mr. Weaver had held the post of I. V. 'Coach previously, having come to Huntingdon from Wyoming, Pa., where he had had previous experience in coaching football and basketball. l CONEMAUGH 14 H. H. s. 6 Putting its newly installed T-formation to work on Friday night, September ll, the 1948 edition of the Huntingdon grid machine made its hrst appearance before a home crowd of 3500 fans at War Vets . Memorial Field. The Conemaugh Ironhorses provided the opposition and proved to be quite a ball club. Led by Tommy Yevvcic, triple-threat star, the Ponies scored in the second and fourth quarters, while the lone . Bearcat tally came late in the final stanza. , Yewcic appeared everywhere and helped the Conemaugh cause greatly by scoring twice. Early in l the second quarter, the Iron-horses came alive when Yewcic scored from the one on a fake-pass set up. He also passed for the extra point, making the score 7 to 0 at the end of the first half. 100 The Cats did not score or show their stuff until late in the final stanza when, after a drive of 65 yards, a pass from Newcombe to Snare was good for 6 points. Snare's try for the extra point fell short. Conemaugh, not to be denied, retaliated quickly, following the Bearcat kick- off by Turk Green. They ended the scoring for the evening when Tommy Yewcic sped 43 yards to score. Yewcic also passed for the extra point. H. H. S. 14 MT. UNION 7 Making their first daylight appearance of '48, the Bearcats journeyed to Mt. Union and returned home victors by a margin of 7 points. The boys from Huntingdon wasted no time in getting started and scored midway in the first quarter with Clerf Grove scoring from the two. l Jim Snare converted. WT Grove tallied again following the start of the ' second quarter. Clark, Snare, and Grove alternated on various line smashes which terminated with Grove going over from the one. .. .,g' ' Mt. Union came back strong in the last half and were spearheaded by passes from Heaster to Schetrompf. Heaster scored midway in the third quarter when he cracked over from the Bearcat 3. Myers converted. The Chimente-men threatened again late in the final period when Snare broke loose from his 23 and 'ran 59 yards to the Bricktown 18, before being tackled. Another jaunt by Snare put the pigskin on the Trojan 8 where the game ended. WESTMONT Z8 H. H. S. 7 The Cats returned home the following Friday high to meet the Westmoiit Hilltoppers, injury- ridden and minus a head coach, following the resignation of Vince Chimente. A light-weight Speedster, Eddie Miller, provided the spark for a 28 to 7 win. Miller, a triple-threat star, racked up three T. D.'s and set up the fourth for teamate Stu Kline to score. The boys from Johnstown scored first when Miller raced 6 yards around his own left end for a tally. MIKE CRONE SKIP PELAN LUMPY DAVIS 101 FOOTBALL The Cats, being headed by Assistant Coach Max Corbin, retaliated by scoring after a 15 yard punt return by Newcombe to the Westmont 3, where Snare slipped off tackle for the tally. Snare converted. Near the close of the first half, Westmont used only 7 plays in traveling 58 yards. Kline scored from the 1 and Cush converted. Vlfestmont continued their scoring spree in the last half with Miller scoring twice in runs of 3 and 28 yards. Cush converted both times. SOMERSET 14 H. H. S. O Under new Head Coach Weaver, a vastly improved Bearcat aggregation journeyed to Somerset where, after a hard-fought battle, they went down in defeat 14 to O. Not until the Bearcats had split the Eagle defense four times and failed to tally did they admit defeat. Two lightning-like attacks gave the home team from Somerset County their two tallies. Don Albright, tailback, gave the Somerset team their first score midway in the first stanza when he sped around his own right end and ran 98 yards to score. Left end Shrock added the extra point by placement. Near the end of the first half, the Eagles scored again by means of an aerial from Albright to team- mate Schrock. The Cats came back strong in the last half and made various thrusts into Eagle territory as far as the 27, but the home team's defense stiffened and the Cats' hopes faltered. BEDFORD 7 H. H. S. 6 An extra point kept H. H. S. from at least a tie at Bedford on Friday night, October 16. Bedford, another newcomer to the Bearcat slate, scored early in the second period when Kurtz ended a 75 yard thrust by scoring from the 12. Lindsay then kicked the extra point which proved to be the winning margin for the Bedford Countians. The first half was dominated by Bedford as they rolled to 148 yards on tlyef gbund, but the second half, despite the absence of Newcombe and Snare, two starting backs, waE mciQl?d by H. H. S. itil The Bearcats scored in the third period following a drive of 70 ya it ob Hooper, who re- placed Newcombe running and passing, the Bearcats wound up on thi? ' and line. At this time, Hooper passed to 'Clem Clark for the T. D. Hooper's pass for ,the e Hip ' t is ed, and the Bearcats trailed 7 to 6. 7 E ffl Near the end of the final stanza, the Bearcats mjylfd a ar a t e X but the game ended at this point. Q L . LOCK HAVEN . Hr . 0 Failing to match a hard-driving Bobcat machine, 'bc from untingdon met with their third straight defeat at the hands of the Bobcats at Hauser ie Lock Haven. RONNIE HARR1s ZEKE ISENBERG TUR GREENE RUSTY MILLER 102 FOOTBALL Lock Haven, operating from a short-T scored in every period and dominated the game throughout. With Snyder and Shuez lugging the ball, the Bobcats scored quickly and easily on various quick-opening plays. Shuez went over from the 5 in the first quarter and Snyder's try for the extra point-was wide. In the second period, a 75 yard drive by the Bobcats was terminated by Shuez when he scored again from the one. Snyder failed to convert once more. Finishing their job, the home team continued scoring in the final half by means of a 20 yard pass completion for their third T. D. Jones got two attempts for the extra point but failed twice. The final score for the evening came in the last stanza when Walker of Lock Haven raced 47 yards to the H. H. S. 18. Sementelli later went over from the 8. Snyder converted. H. H. S. 18 DUBOIS 6 Paul States' off-tackle thrusts and a hard-charging forward wall that mouse-trapped the Dubois linemen all evening sparked H. H. S. to an easy 18 to 6 Western Conference win on Friday night, November 6. Although Dubois made a quick tally on an 83 yard sprint by Beaver wingback, Gaskey, to score first, the Cats looked the better team throughout. Huntingdon scored once in each of the last three periods, with Newcombe going over from the one and the three-yard lines to score twice. Paul States scored the other tally from the one in the final period. The Cats had as many scoring chances repulsed as they cashed in on. The entire Bearcat forward wall played exceptionally well in this game and time after time opened up large gaps in the Dubois line. PORTAGE 18 H. H. S. 6 The Weavermen appeared before a home crowd the following Friday night and went down in defeat 18 to 6. It was Portage High, a newcomer to the Bearcat slate, who upset the dope and went home victors. The Cats scored, following the opening kickoff. Tsenberg returned the ball to the 40 from which point H. H. S. started to move. QWith Newcombe running, the Cats pushed as far as the Portage 21. Newcombe then passed to Clark who was pulled down on the Mustang ll. A few plays later, States lugged it over from the 3. Snare's attempted conversion was wide. The Mustangs came right back and tallied after a drive of 78 yards. Kinko went over from the 3. Portage also failed to add the extra digit, and the score remained 6 to 6 at half time. Early in the third stanza, Wazniak took a revefse and went 68 yards to score. The third and final Mustang tally came in the fourth period when a 20 yard aerial, Shives to Kunko, was good and the latter scored his second six-pointer. H. H. S. 14 H-BURG 7 Although two T. D.'s were recalled, H. H. S. rolled 55 yards in the final period to score and thereby rack up win number two. It was Ron Harris' one-yard plunge that gave the Bearcats their victory over the Golden Tigers. LEX RAKER DAVE MILLER BOB HARLIN M 103 FOOTBALL Huntingdon started out like a house afire and scored the Hrst time they touched the ball. Following a drive of 65 yards, -Tim Snare scored and converted the extra point. A This ended the scoring until the third stanza when States scored from the 4, but a back was in motion and the T. D. was called back. Three plays after, Bob Hooper, subbing for Newcombe, passed for another tally, but another penalty nullified this score. Following a drive of 75 yards, H-burg tallied when Forney scored and converted the extra-point. The first play, following the Tiger kickoff, saw States uncork a sparkling run of 51 yards to put the pill on the H-burg 4. Ron Harris then took over the bucking slot and scored on fourth down. Hooper added the extra point. EBENSBURG 27 H. H. S. 6 For a few moments in the second period, it seemed as though the H. H. S. Bearcats would upset the mighty Ebensburg team but Ebensburg took charge in the final half to win 27 to 6. The Red Devils drove 89 yards for their initial T. D. with Ed Miller bucking over from the one, Miller also converted the extra point to give the visitors a lead they never relinquished. The Bearcats drew a little blood themselves in the second period when, with Clark, Hooper, and States alternating,-they reached the Red Devil 42. After completing two passes, Hooper fired one- to Isenberg on the 22. lsenberg raced to the 2, before being tackled. Two plays later, Ron Harris went over from the 1 to make the score 7 to 6 at half time. The Red Devils came back strong, however, and scored on drives of 69, 79, and 20 yards. Miller and Butkovitch did the F.-burg scoring while the Bearcats just couldn't seem to hit the pace. LEWISTOWN 20 H. H. S. 13 - The long reign of H. H. S. over Lewistown came to an end Saturday, N-ovember 20, but it wasn't until the final half minute that the Panthers were able to push across the tally that gave them their initial win in the one-sided series. It was Jim Houser who smashed across the goal on a quarterback sneak to give the Panthers a 20 to 13 triumph. The Bearcats opened the scoring for the afternoon when Newcombe slipped through the mud from the one for a score early in the first period. Smith of Lewistown tied it up shortly after on a 48 yard jaunt, and Stravalo put the visitors ahead 7 to 6 by converting. In thesecondlperiod, L. H. S. went farther ahead when Stravalo pl-oughed over from the two. Huntingdon came right back though and scored on a 14 yard aerial, Hooper to Isenberg.

Vfs gave the school something to shout about. The Cubs won 6 games and lost 2 during the 1948 season and were rated Number Two team in Huntingdon County standings. The only 2 losses sustained were handed to the little 'Cats by the Lewistown J. V.'s and by Juniata Valley, both of which had a decided weight advantage as well as more experience than the Cubs. The J. V.'s were led through their pre-season drills and played their first game under Coach George Weaver. With the resignation of Mr. Chimente as Varsity coach, Mr. Weaver moved up to take over the Bearcats' rnentorship, the destiny of the Little Cats being left in the capable hands of Mr. George Shingler. During the season, the J. V.'s rolled up 145 points while holding their opponents to 65 markers. Don Mark, Sophomore fullback, led the scoring with 6 touchdowns and 4 extra points for a total of 40 points. Halfback Gibson and End MacDonald followed with 20 and 18 points respectively.

Managers4Wilbur Harris and William Rohm. With the complete first string of the 1947-48 team moving up to the Varsity, the IJV. outlook for the 1948-49 season seemed gloomy. The Cubs were under the direction of Mr. George Weaver who had formerly coached at Wyoming High School where, in 1945, his team had gone to the class B State semi- finals. The 48-49 edition of the Cubs ended the season with a .500 mark by winning 12 of 24 games. In junior Mountain League play, the I. V.'s won 4 games and lost 6. Coach Weaver was faced with the problem of developing a team from a group of boys, most of them with little or no experience in high school competition. Hooper, Glasgow, D. MacDonald, Ulbrich, and F. MacDonald were the only hold-overs from the team of the year before. From the first practice, the 'Cubs were learning the fundamentals of the game and were gaining much needed experience through actual playing. Toward the end of the season, the J. V.'s were playing good ball and concluded their schedule by winning 5 straight games. The J. V. squad at lirst experienced most of their troubles away from home, but ended their campaign with 4 straight wins on foreign courts. During the first half of the season, the Weavermen were paced by Sophomore Bob Hooper. In the iirst game with Philipsburg, Hooper sustained a leg injury which kept him -out of action for the rest of the season. Henry Glasgow and Stubby States led the J. V.'s through the remaining half of the schedule. Hooper led the Cubs in scoring although he had played only 13 games. Glasgow, States, and F. MacDonald followed Hooper in point-making. 11.4 OPPONENT Yeagertown J. V.'s Juniata Valley Varsity Madera J. V.'s Saltillo Varsity Conemaugh J. V.'s Conemaugh I. V.'s Bedford I. V.'s Tyrone I.

V.'s had finished practice, about 25 girls were seen trouping to the locker room to begin a work-out of an hour and a half with Coach Jean Hogue. At these practices, the girls learned new plays, the guards and forwards acquired skills, and all had high hopes of a success- ful season. Many freshmen and upper classmen came out this year along with the old members of the team. The three first string forwards were: Barbara Simpson, Peggy Bauer, and Raylene Kyler with Colleen Corcelius doing a fine job as first substitute. The first three guards were: Jane Heine, Doris Wagner, and Barbara Wingate. When Doris Wagner was injured during the season, june Brenneman and Dolores Bush shared at various times the responsibility of filling her place. Both came through with an admirable piece of work. Sue McCray, guard, and Sandy Morrow, forward, also saw a good bit of action this year. Recognition was given to the girls for their worth-while efforts by Knepp and Neil, when for the hrst time in H. H. S. history, individual action shots were taken of the first six girls. These pictures, along with a picture of Miss Hogue, were then placed in Knepp and Neil's window beside the pictures of the Varsity and the J. V. players. When, in assembly, the boy's were awarded their letters by Coach Corbin and the pictures by Knepp and Neil, the girls were also given the same honor. 116 gi f , 1 i 1 .
