'l P f Page 4 edicafion Our School has been very fortunate in having had from its beginning, teachers dedicated to the cause of Christian education. These have labored hard to help to make it possible to train youth for Christ and to develop a love for the Church. It has been a great pleasure to have had with us Henry Yoder for the past three years and Esther Eash Yoder for the period of four years giving of their service in such an unselfish way. It is a worthwhile contribution that has helped to mold the character of the School in its formative period, leaving an influence not soon to be forgotten. We can only say that, while we are reluctant to let them go, we do wish them the very best of God's blessings as they enter other service. Bro. and Sister Yoder, gratefully do we dedicate this 1950 Mem-o-re to you! Page 5 fzincipars message To know God as your very own, and Jesus Christ To have the presence of the Holy Spirit within To give of your very best in service And not merely for reward To pray often and think much And talk little To help the widow and fatherless And keep unspotted from the world To live each day as if it were your last This is the well-marked path to success Eternal! Page 5 c aol Bomb Faithfully, through thick and thin, these nine men have weathered the storms in the sponsorship and administration of the School. Their deliberations, marked with deep interest and prayerful concern, have been an inspiration to students and faculty. They have diligently sought to represent the group of patrons from whom they are chosen, as well as the Church at large. They have tried in every way to have a school that shall be a blessing to the church. Meeting once a month, they act on such items that naturally fall into their scope of responsibility. Much of their time is taken up with finances, but each year they have been able to come out successfully. In the midst of their discuss- ions there is always that fine spirit of Christian humor that keeps men's spirits from breaking. It is really an inspiration to attend one of their meetings. Being practical minded, they have not only given of their valuable time in Board sessions, but with rolled up sleeves have toiled long hours in physical labor to srovide every convenience about the building for each student. Especially was this emonstrated in the repair work done after our fire. We owe mu-ch to the School Board of the Johnstown Mennonite School. Page 7 'faculty N. i l I Sanford G.

We the sophisticated sophomores of this school are looking forward to the future! This year each of us paid a certain amount of dues toward our junior and senior years for the expense of trips and other costs. So far we have the largest class in the high school. There are fourteen, consist- ing of ten girls and four boys, which incidentally formed a quartet. Our class ofhcers are as follows: president, Esther Millerg vice president, Leon Hostetlerg secretary, Dorothea Jacobs, treasurer, Betty Wenger. Toward the end of our school year we had a class night. This is a night when the advisor entertains us. In describing us, you could use these adjectives Qwe hopej, Christian, friendly, honest, kind, well-mannered, co-operative. We would like to be noted for our cheery smile and Christian friendliness. Our class flower is a white rose, our colors, light and dark blue, and our motto, To Christ Our Guide. Our desire is to follow our motto faithfully. 3 .2 if Page 14 QL it ii Q.. ?,lZSLY.l'l42Vl 1 all Q' ve '- -Qla. :xy 4 FW x ' ig! is X K X r X A F 4, L , N- First row-Paul Alwine, Lester Harshberger, Carmin Stayrook, Anna Lehman, Hannah Lehman.

With the co-operation of the group, it was planned to go to Bro. Hege's home for the Freshman outing. The highlight of the year was a science tour to Pittsburgh with the Sophomore class. Most of our time was spent, as it is in every school, studying. Despite the fact that hard work was put into the year, the Freshman class also enjoyed its share of fun and wound up the school year of 1949-50 very successfully obtaining the pur- poses for which they were striving. di gf Page 15 I. as J ,. ,L s 'fs Q 5 Q5 VY va x f '4 j .v 4N't-,I 1 xg,-1: ,. -kr..x,.' -9, --.-.fd H: 1-I G Y U-x U . 1, ', QI v .- . 1' .V .

To promote spiritual growth and to plan programs that will build and mold Christian character is the work of this committee. The Committee is composed of five students and a faculty member as adviser. Officers and members are as follows: Stanwyn Shetler, chairman Robert Shetler, vice-chairman June Beisel, secretary-treasurer Norma Cable Virginia Miller john A. Lehman, adviser f. 1-fshgvii Y e ii' K i L. lx 'I ' 'QW' H The morning devotion periods, chapel periods, carol singings, services for the sick, programs for chorus tours are planned by the committee. During the term we were glad to have a large number of visiting ministers and others to conduct our daily devotions and chapel. This is a help to us students in becoming better acquainted with ministers of other conferences and states. Our daily devotional period, the first twenty minutes of each day, is varied as much as possible to keep up the interest of the students. Student and faculty talks, hymn sings, scripture readings, and special music are some of he features of these programs. Question-box week is a week always enjoyed when faculty members attempt to answer the many questions relating to Christian life and conduct. One strong emphasis is the matter of student participation. Every student sometime during the year has a part in one way or another. We are happy to say that every student can lead in prayer. We as a committee want to thank all of the students for taking their part so wellg we hope we have rendered the best service to you. Page 20 us c of IQLM - SO Serve the Lord with gladness, come before his presence with singing. This thought comes into the mind as the forty-five members of our school chorus gather together, during the third period each Friday, to keep our spiritual aspirations alive! The members of the chorus are not selected, anyone from grades nine to twelve may join. These practices once a week have helped train our voices tremendously. After many painstaking hours with our competent director, Bro Shetler working right along with us, we have tried and mastered different types of music such as classical numbers and old gospel hymns. Our purpose is not only to produce good harmony, but to express the different moods and interpret the meaning of the music. Another purpose, is to build up our vocal singing in the churches. With these purposes in mind and with a spirit of worshi we have tried to carry into a number of churches, in our local district and at a distance, the values we have gained. Certainly we are happy for our chorus training. Other groups functioning during this school year also were the Mixed Octet, Men's Octet, Pebley Quartet, Ladies' Chorus, and junior Chorus. Through these various groups everyone gets a chance to express their musical talent and thereby bring glory to God through song. These groups always help to enliven the school life Mixed Octet Pebley Quartet if x.

To feel the grasp of a hand, to look into sincere eyes, to hear a kind word is to experience fellowship with a Fidelian. If you want to see thirty students at their best, just stop in some Friday morning and make your own observation. You would find the group eagerly watching their eliicient president who is faithfully following the rules of parlimentary law as he directs the meeting. You would see individuals respond- ing with time like precision to their leader. In short you would see students at work. Here is where we speak, sing and discuss. Here is where we develop our abilities for service. Here is where we learn to get along with people, and understand true value and acquire an appreciation for the things that constitute real life. A look into the future rev-eals big times ahead for the Fidelians. With an ever increas- ing enrollment and wider experience we will learn, live, but most of all serve. Watch the faithful ones as they reach new zeniths of progress in the literary world. Faithful then, faithful now, faithful alway. We are the Fidelians of J. M. S. fifefzafzies THE NEO DISCARIAN The Youthful Learners started out the year with Norman Hostetler Jr. at the helm as president. Robert Paul Thomas served as his assistant. Norma Cable faithfully re- corded a report of programs rendered and the important events and resolutions of this august though youthful body. Wilma jean Miller carefully cared for all our money. We were ushered to our seats by Robert Shetler and Ruth Beisel. At the first meeting the Neo Discarians won new members. Each of the two socie- ties tries to make their group the most at- tractive. The rivalry adds spice to school life. The period was closed by an impromtu program. The programs of the year were varied and seasonal. Some interesting parlimentary drills were practiced. Debates develoriled friendly competition. Each member feels t at the Neo Discarians are an essential and very necessary part of Puma?

The two advisors are Miss Hostetler and Bro. Lehman. In our first meeting we elected officers which were: Norman Hostetler jr., Presi- dentg janet Thomas, Vice Presidentg Marvin Kaufman, Treasurerg Berena Shetler, Secre- tary. We purchased bats, balls, ping-pong balls, a new volley ball and net, a badminton set and several indoor games. Credit goes to the Girls' Athletic Club for helping the Athletic Committee out financially at the beginning of this term. We decided to set a fixed fee for all high school students in order to have cash on hand. We found this to be a success. Athletics at our school at present is con- fined mostly to out-door exercises and games since we have no gymnasium. While it is not the aim of our instructors to emphasize athletics yet we are looking forward to giving it more place than it now has. Among the proposals for the future is a plan to build a suitable gymnasium. We students are eagerly looking forward to this. gocial acfivifies l . 25134 - ' 50 A well-balanced school program must include some sort of social activities. These activities in our school are spon- sored by the Social Committee. The committee this year in- cludes the following people: Chairman-Leon Hostetler Advisors-Miss Hostetler, Bro. Hege. Class representatives-Don Kolb, Leonard Shetler, Wilma Jean Miller and Esther Miller. Social activities help supply all of us with a bit of relax- ation from the daily school routine. It is the aim of the committee to provide the school with at least one evening of entertainment every month or six weeks. This year our schedule had several interruptions. One of the outstanding socials of the year was the weiner roast held at Brother john Lehman's grove. This social was one that included the 7th and 8th graders besides the high school. The evening was spent in playing games until all had acquired an appetite. Then began the feasting of weiners, marshmallows, nector, and pickles-all you could eat and more. Even if you were full, you couldn't resist eating more of the tempting food only to save it from spoiling. The social was then followed by a program in which Bro. Leh- man stressed in his talk the importance of Christian Social Activities. Another interesting function was the evening of fellow- ship spent at the home of our bus driver, Brother Clarence to Clarence. All Alwine. This visit was quite a surprise seemed to enjoy the evening. The program featured some of the talented pupils of the school and the presentation of a gift in money to Brother Clarence in appreciation of his contribution to our school. Other activities of the year included a St. Patrick's Day social in Brother Harold Thomas's barn, several outdoor socials and the usual all-day outing for both patrons and students. This day quite often reveals the superiority of the boys over their fathers in the main feature of the day, a softball game. Thus the social activities of the school progress and do their part in providing for the whole development of each individual. uniofz eniofz gvenfs The last years of High School are packed with varied events. Both classes spend an evening, near the end of school, entertained by their advisor. Those class nights- who can't remember them? The junior-Senior Banquet, a month before the close of school, is an evening enjoyed by all juniors and seniors. The well-planned dinner, the spicy talks, and the reminder that school days for the seniors are rapidly coming to a close- make this a never to be forgotten evening of the year. The Washington trip for the seniors, three days of sight- ,- lff' N fi seeing, what wonders can be seen-buildings, art, and best of all, our government in action. One of the most interesting places of interest was the F.B.l. building. Here it is shown that crime doesn't pay. Baccalaureate and Commencement-solemnly the seniors, accompanied by the juniors, march up the aisle to the happy reward in store for them. Then, closing the seniors' High School career, is the Senior Class Day when the seniors hand the Key of Know- ledge to the juniors, following an appropriate program. atm Y Page 27 SZLQOI Tom The time that the Freedom Train came to Johnstown the entire high school went down to see it. In all we would not want to give up our annual tours. One of the most outstanding school ex- cursions was the visit to the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary Foundation on three consecutive years. The first two years only a car load of boys went each time. These were boys from the school Hunting and Fishing Club. The first year Bro Shetler took eight boys in his car and the second year Bro. Lehman took seven boys in his car. Each year was packed full of fun including a stay at a nice little hotel at Kingsville, Ont. and a thrilling two hour wait to get towed out of deep water. The first year we had the unique privilege of accompanying Jasper Miner to the banding traps and watching the operation. Several of the boys were given the opportunity to re- lease some banded geese. We were all invited into the home and wrote our names in the guest book that Henry Ford signed, On the second tour we went out on a boat onto Lake Erie and each fellow was given the chance to steer the boat. Indeed we who went along enjoyed this tour very much. Last year, due to the fact that our Chorus Tour route went so very near, we drove down to the sanctuary and all got a chance to see his bird resort. This constituted our third visit but as yet there is no fourth one planned although many would be ready to go back. Page 28 ' fn? :P v t - If xii: 'f fl' V A Indeed school would be a drab place if it were not for all the special activities that are carried out each year. Among these activities perhaps the various tours taken by different groups in the school are the spiciest and add the most to school life. Every year there are several tours taken in connection with the classes to round out our education just a little better. The oldest and one of the most inter- estin tours is the annual Science Tour to Pitts urgh. This tour is taken from the science standpoint and therefore only those enrolled in a science class of some sort may participate in the tour. For this tour an entire day is chosen and in this day the following places are visited: Carnegie Museum, Con- servatory of Flowers, Zoo, Buhl Planetarium and perhaps the airport or Gulf Building. There are always other educational sites and things that can be visited in conjunction with other classes so some of the other classes have taken various tours also. Some of these included a trip to the county court house and jail, a trip to a jewish synagogue, a trip to the Johnstown Art School, a trip to the Lorain Steel Mills during open house and an Occupations Class tour which included a bakery, a radio station, a dairy and an airport.

We have interesting times together and even enjoy subjects like history and? geography which some people call dry. Subjects become interesting especially when our traveling pupils return and tell stories. Maretta Shetler, a sixth grade pupil toured a number of the Southern States and gave an interesting report in geography class on her trip. Two families represented in our room had the sad experience of losing their mothers in the past year, Mrs. Orvin Blough and Mrs. Clarence Alwine. We all had an unforgettable interlude in our year. Fifth and Sixth grade spent five weeks at Cambria Fuel due to the fire on February 3. Seventh and Eighth grade spent their time at the Bible School Dorm. When we saw how our school was saved from burning to the ground we were made to feel that the Lord hath done great things for us where of we are glad. 'uzdes I - Lf Every morning we begin the day with a devotional period. The period begins with singing led by one of the pupils in the room. After the singing we spend several minutes in quoting Bible verses, learning new ones or quoting portions of Scripture we already know. Sometimes we hear a Bible story or another story that has a good moral lesson to teach us. Often we talk about the origin and meaning of one of the songs that we sing. Our morning prayer is sometimes short sentence prayers by the students or teacher. Other times we sing a prayer that we have learned during the year. A few songs by the group or by the third grade trio or other special groups, closed our devotional period. After a period of fellowship with God we are ready to begin our lessons. We have had several interesting projects by the children, among these was an Indian project. - The fourth grade enjoyed very much making an Indian tepee from burlap sacks and painting designs on it. The boys also made bows and arrows and axes while the girls dressed several of their black-haired dolls to look like Indian people. They worked very hard to paint designs on the dresses and put beads around the necks of their realistic dolls. Usually on Special Holidays we have some sort of decoration in our room to remind us of the occasion. During the Halloween season we had several corn shocks and pumpkins in the room. The children were very happy when they could have Reading Class in the corn field rather than on the front seats. Several times during the year we had parties for which we made our own candy cups, place cards or decorated our own napkins. For our Christmas program some of the first, third and fourth graders made up a little skit or play to show the Spirit of Christmas. I suggested a theme for the play and they worked it out and pre- sented it without any supervision what-so-ever. Many of the parents expressed their feelings about it and said they thought it one of the best ever presented by the young children. The 43 pupils in our room from grades 1-4 have certainly been working hard to make this year a happy year in spite of crowded conditions or other ditliculties that did arise. Page 32 :Pi 4' ? x t .

YQ . n 'LG CCS s The good o1d'fashioned frolic is the Pennsylvania Dutch way of getting work done in groups at a low cost. We have had so many frolics since the beginning of school that we have lost count. First, excavation for the building was done by this method-farmers, carpenters, electricians, miners,-all joined in on spare days to bring this work to completion. Then blocks were laid, the framework erected, Hoors cemented and so on-thousands of man-hours being given by men and women, boys and girls, doing all kinds of work from excavation to painting, electric wiring, sanding of floors, washing windows, landscaping, and repairing school desks! At the beginning of this year, men and boys helped in our big project of pre- paring our athletic field. Much was accomplished. But the biggest project out- side of the clean-up frolics had to do with the repairing, re-conditioning, and clean- ing of the school following the fire which occurred on February 3. It was heart- ening to see large numbers of men present day after day during this five-week period when the school was vacated. Everyone seemed to catch the spirit of frolicing young and old. Even some who have no connection with the school donated hours and hours of labor. The old-fashioned way is not only a tremendous saving, but the brotherly spirit is alone something worth seeing in these days when each works for himself. Certain- ly Christian brotherhood--and the frolic spirit is needed not only in our school but in the world at large. Page 38 gcfftool Diattl - ICM? - S 1949 August 31-The halls of J. M.

That is correct, but there is an even more important calling of a ministry of love and service to the needs of the world. The shocks, the drab buildings, and the houses which you would not want to call homes present an opportunity to you to prove your Christian citizenship. When a white man hates a colored man, does that hate involve you? Certainly, also, when a drunk staggers down the street or drives into your parked car, does that mean anything to you? lt certainly does. The life of simplicity, religious freedom, and dignity of hard work which you are living is something for the world to see and know. You hold in your grasp a way of life which Christ felt was the true way. Let us live it, let us teach it, let us pray about it Buy your copy of Youth and Christian to- day. Here you will find superb discussion on how you can live as a nonresistant Christian in the midst of an evil world.
