Superintendent ol' the Jeannette DR. F. B. SNOWDEN Public Schools MR. JOHN MACLAY Principal of the Jeannette High School Dr. Snowden Behind the scenes busily directing school affairs and actively engaging in community service organizations is Dr. Foster B. Snow- den, Superintendent of Public Schools. Dr. Snowden has been with us for only two years, coming here from East Conemaugh in 1938. But in that short space of time he has made many friends and acquaint- ances in Jeannette. His organization mem- berships include the American Association of School Administrators, Rotary Club and a life membership in the National Educa- tion Association. He is intensely interested in welfare and religious work and is an able driver when it comes to raising money for a worthy cause. By his tireless efforts, Dr. Snowden has brought about many changes and improvements to our school. He has always been a loyal and active booster of clean sportsmanship and has lent his assistance to widening and develop- ing our athletic and health education pro- gram. We shall always consider him a competent executive, considerate adviser, and, what is more important, a real friend. xx .1,....- Mr. Maclay The man with whom many students make the most frequent contacts is Mr. John Maclay Jr., principal of Jeannette High School. Visitors, salesmen and par- ents are referred to him, and he is always willing to help them in any way he can. Supercilious slackers, conduct caper-cut- ters and serious students seeking scholastic salvation go to him for correction and aid. He is quick to offer his services or provide a solution for a problem. Mr. Maclay has been at Jeannette High School since 1923, at which time he taught chemistry and was head of the science department. His hard work and good nature won for him the position of principal in 1929. He is a mem- ber of the Kiwanis Club, American Legion, Association of Secondary School Principals, and is especially proud of his membership in the American Guild of Organists. Through his willingness, kindness and co- operation, Mr. Maclay has endeared him- self in the hearts of everyone in the high school and will be remembered many years after our graduation. ELEV EN

HARSHEY KENNEDY ,ANDGRAFF LODZSUN MATTHEWS g as HUTCHINSON KNEYP LOBODY MANIFOLD lVIcLAUGHLIN Busy at Their Daily Work Don't tell us students that a teacher spends all his time behind a desk, marking papers, or worry- ing about sigma for a distribution of scores! The insert picture on the opposite page contradicts such serious occupations. However, we will agree that these are exceptional diversions of the group. In their busier hours, members of our faculty attend to no end of details that have, no doubt, made their tasks among the most complex, exacting and difficult of the professions. On a preceeding page, we paid our respects to two of our administrators. The third member, Frank B. Leinbach, who is a teacher of American history, has the difficult job of handing out passports to that seventh period institution affectionately referred to as D. R. The social science studies are also under his direction. Will any of us ever forget Harry Basom's puns in American and World History classes? Our deep appreciation and thanks go to Hazel Harshey and Warren Stroud, who helped to enliven those dry subjects of sociology and eco- nomics. And many are the problems in civics and history that have been explained to us by Ula Buck- ley and Maxwell Myers. In addition to her duties as senior class adviser, Wilda Hutchinson is also head of the English de- partment. Under her supervision are many teach- ers whom we shall not forget. Olga Bozzan's pa- tience with the frosh belies her red hair. Appre- ciation is in order for Margaret Dickroeger, whose high classroom standards developed in each of us a better understanding of literature. We are in- debted to Esther Kneyp because of her sympathetic and understanding nature. Elizabeth Greno and Ethel Landgraff are well-known for their work in dramatics. Students, one and all, realize the need of a dictionary when Wayne Patterson starts using words such as redintegration and disparageg while Stanley Manifold practices psychology to advantage. In J. H. S. there are three foreign languages taught, Latin, French and Spanish. Kathryn Bar- ley, head of this department, endeavors to teach to bewildered students the principles of Latin gram- mar and translation, while Estelle Floto insists on our saying, quite properly, Aimez-vois le temps ? , 1Continued On Page 143 THI RTEEN
