A ,, f 4 4 ,-4' ' ,fs 1 - ',ggQ--PM ' WE PAY TRIBUTE Nancy Menaher places a wreath on the Armistice Day Memorial to our Honored Dead. lt is with mixed emotions that, humbly and thoughtfully, we turn our thoughts to the hero dead of this conflict, so shortly ended. It seems strange and disturbing to mourn for young men and women who ought to be just beginning life-but instead have lost it. It is an alien reality that is forced upon us and makes us pause to reflect. We remember them with gratitude: grateful that they could under- take the dirty, wearying iob that makes men descend to barbarisms which must be repugnant to them, humble that they did this job so that we would never have to live in the kind of world where such things are the accepted order. We remember them with pride: pride in the way they measured up to the pressing need, pride in their decency, kindness, iustice, and Christianity, pride in their laughter, their dreams, their faith, and their patience, pride in the example which they set for the world. And yet, we remember them also with fear: a fear that what they have done may prove fruitless, and that the whole bitter struggle must be endured again-and again, fear that we have not lived up to our obligations to make secure what they sought. And in our apprehensions, we increase our resolve that, with God's aid, we will make fast the ideals for which their blood was shed and through His enduring mercy shall choose the path which will lead to eternal peace and iustice for all men. Mountaineer -A 4 Now that the world is again at peace, we, the Publication Staff of the MOUNTAINEER, have been striving to produce a year- book better than any which has been published heretofore. We hope and fondly believe that as you look over the MOUNTAIN- EER again and again, it will be a source of happy memories and an occasional chuckle at some forgotten escapade. We have attempted also to give some slight inkling of our school's part in the magnificent wartime iob which has iust been completed. Our contributions in the purchase of War Stamps and, more im- portant, through the services of former students who have gone forth to war, some never to return, form a record of achievement of which we can well be proud. 4-0 I The People We Knew The Fun We I-lad The Sports We Played Mountaineer - 5 When we glance back over our MOUN TAINEER we shall recall many pleasant memor es For as It has been sand no other frnend shnp can have the quolmes of compomonshup whnch a hugh school frnendshlp possesses And so nt ns with pleasure that we present to you THE PEOPLE WE KNEW I1 101 Mflllq The People We Knew BCDARD OF EDUCATION..

These men, fully conscious of the tremendous responsibility that is theirs, convene once each month to trans- act business and discuss school problems. Although the problems are many and varied, each is considered with equal attention. This, the first postwar year, found the school with a shortage of teachers. lt was through the efforts of the Board that these vacancies were filled. Then, too, they were responsible for the painting of the various class rooms. The work on the new recreation field was pushed ahead in the hope that next year's football games may be played there. Aside from these tasks many regular duties such as accepting resignations, pur- chasing school supplies, and approving changes in the curriculum were diligently handled. Throughout the year the service of these five men is available to all students and teachers. lt is their aim to help the students to improve and to succeed. Our Board of Education members are not only respected by the students but are also considered friends who show a great interest in school activities. We extend to Mr. C. A. Noel and Dr. J. W. Updegraff, who were reelected in November, congratulations. The students and faculty, who are fortunate enough to have our leadership placed in such firm but tolerant hands, wish to make known their appreciation for the capable management of their charge.

REAUZE AMBITIONS OFFICERS President , . Nick Malkoch Vice President . .. .. Bill Cochrane Secretary .. Bob Craig Treasurer . ,, Louis Bearer Four years ago we, the Class of '46, entered Ligonier High School to prepare ourselves to take our places in the world. Now, after four years of directed activities, we are ready for the ex- periences we must face alone. There will be many problems in this day of confusion and un- rest, but with God's guidance, we shall conquer them. Our country was fighting a terrible war when we came to Ligonier as Freshmen. We helped out in a small way by collecting scrap metal and by buying Defense Stamps with our allowances. lt meant some sacrifice, but we were willing, because we knew it would help hasten the Victory. With our second year at L. H. S. we began to find enjoyment in taking part in school activi- ties. Our first undertaking was our Sophomore Party, then the Christmas Dance, and also an old fashioned square dance. Toward the end of the year we sponsored the May Day Corona- tion and the May Dance. As Juniors, now upperclassmen, we had a gay time at a weiner roast at Adams' Falls, and later, an evening of singing, eating, and play- ing games at Camp Wesco. At our Valentine Dance, Bob Wolford and Louise Hantz were chosen the King and Queen of Hearts. We pre- sented our class play, Don't Keep Him Waiting and the Junior-Senior Prom. That year we were well represented on the newly organized Stu- dent Council. When we entered our last year of school at Ligonier, two ideas were in every Senior's mind: Let's initiate the Freshmen and let's go to Washington! To direct us in our projects, we elected Nick Malkoch, Bill Cochrane, Bob Craig, and Louis Bearer. After feeling superior for a while over the initiation, we settled down to planning our hoped-for Washington Trip. The class members volunteered to pay class dues to start things going, and then at the last foot- ball game we sold souvenir football programs. Next on our program was an Indoor Fair that went over amazingly well since it was an experi- ment to start with. Before we had recovered from this, we found ourselves busily selling magazines and soon sponsoring a Christmas Dance. After helping the American Legion sell tickets for their Amateur Show and presenting our annual class play entitled A Little Honey, we were ready for that long dreamed of trip to Washington, D. C. Our class is gifted with talented students and outstanding leaders. Nick Malkoch has been Class President for three years. Bob Wol- ford is Editor-in-Chief of the Mountaineer, and Jane Hood holds the same position on our news- paper, The Mountie. Bill Cochrane is President of the Student Council, while Joan Pershing leads the Drum Maiorettes and Jane Brereton is a cheerleader and was May Queen. Lou Bearer has been a class officer for four years. We have outstanding athletes also, Bearer and Malkoch are four year Lettermen in football, and the Bas- ketball Varsity was almost exclusively Senior. Our senior year at Ligonier High is now finished. Looking back, we shall remember it as one of the happiest years of our lives. Our activities taught us cooperation and loyalty, for without these, our goals would have been un- attainable. We owe much also to Miss Martin, Mr. Mathews, and Mr. Abele for their guidance in the past year. And so, we end our stay in Ligonier High School and go our separate ways into the great world of which we will be a part. Mountaineer - 20 MOST POPULAR CLASS FLIRT. ..

The Junior Class was found participating in many events during the school year 1945-46. Our classes were filled with fun and amusing episodes along with much serious academic work. In Spanish class Erma Austin has proved herself an outstanding student. George Demy- anovich and Duane Craig would make a very good debating team, while Mary Cauffield and Peggy Cochrane write excellent themes. Our class was well represented in the field of sports. Room 5 sent Bernard Fish, Jim Clark, Duane Craig, Ted Carns, Eddie Barber, and Dale Mountaineer Campbell to the gridiron. These boys did their best for L. H. S. and are very valuable material for next year. When basketball season rolled around, we found some tall and promising play- ers in Jim Clark, Duane Craig, Dale Campbell, Harold Newell, Bob Johns, Carl Tantlinger, and George Hoover. Besides being well represented on the Mountaineer Staff, the Student Council, the Mountie, and various clubs, our homerooms pre- sented very entertaining assembly programs. Sally Zimmerman from Room 'll demonstrated her unique ability to tap-dance. Room 5 gave an accurate picture of a typical family on Sun- day morning. As salesmen the members of our class were very successful. lt was not an unusual thing to find Dorothy McMullen stationed near the audi- torium selling beanies, or H Weller and Caryl Snyder trying desperately to sell enough tickets to charter a bus to a basketball game. A great many social events were sponsored by our class. At the first, a Halloween party, we had a very exciting time, because Ted Carns, while on a scavenger hunt, was arrested and taken to iail. We were relieved when he was bailed out, but we were even more relieved the next morning when we discovered that it was all a hoax. Then in November came the Sadie Hawkins Dance where everybody donned his blue jeans, plaid shirt, and clodhoppers for an evening of fun. Dale Campbell and Bea Fish were chosen King and Queen of Hearts at the Valentine Dance. Other events included a Box Social, a Record Dance, the Class Play, and our annual Prom. There are some greatly talented musicians in our group. Bill Nicely, our Tommy Dorsey, won first prize in the high school division of the American Legion Amateur Show. ln February we were sorry to lose Robert Johns who had en- tertained us so well with his guitar and songs at parties and assemblies. However, Bob left school to serve in Uncle Sam's Navy. We feel that this year has been both a happy and successful one for the Class of 1947 and we intend to do even better next year when ll we take over Ligonier High School as Seniors. e 24 Back Row: Corter, R.

This year has been a memorable one and one marked by great activity. At the beginning of the term we were placed in Homerooms 7, 8, and 9, and soon everyone learned that this was Sophomore territory. The Room 7 faction of the class had an interesting time helping Mrs. Ferguson to put to death a frog, Dorothy Muir brought in one morning, Room 8 strutted proudly after winning the prize for the most attractively decorated room at Christmas, and Room 9 was agog over its new teacher, Miss Gettemy. We presented three fine assembly programs: Room 8's was a play, Make Room for Rodney with Harry Probst as Rodney, Room 9 dramatized the 'Famous Casey at the Bat , and Room 7 sponsored a technicolor movie of historic Williamsburg, Virginia. The lads of the class displayed well their athletic ability. The pigskin handlers from our group were Waffle Leonard, Max Mickey, and Wade Harkcom. ln basketball Harry Wilkins made the Varsity Reserves, while Jim Simon, Jack Graham, and other sophomores made up the J. V. Squad. For the first time in many years an operetta, The Peddler of Hearts, was presented at L. H. S. by our class. In it Clair Stout portrayed the Peddler of Hearts who, as was later revealed, was really the Elf King. Grover Stephens as the Prince courted the Princess, Pat Frye. The cli- max was when Rudolph, Pat O'Toole, rescued Gretel, Pat Egner, from the elves to save the vil- lage. The operetta was one of the year's high lights. Through profits derived from this, our numerous record dances held during the year, and class dues we have been able to put aside a sizable sum for the long awaited day when we shall be Seniors, going to Washington, D. C. Our sophomore year witnessed our class beginning to take an active part in social events about the school.

Max Mickey Secretary ,. ., Patrick O'Toole Treasurer David Kradel Jim, Max, and Davidhelp Pat take notes from the marker at the site of the OLD FORT UGONIER. where we supplied a full menu and were re- warded by a full attendance, everyone enjoyed himself greatly. And the May Queen Corona- tion which we sponsored, with its living pictures dramatizing the life of Christ, was a memorable event. It is also interesting to remember that in April a very special party was held: special at least for one homeroom, the one with most of its dues paid, for the other two rooms footed the bill and then helped enioy it. However, no- body complained-much! Now that our careers as Sophomores are ended, we look forward with pleasure to our next year in Ligonier High School, because, iust think: We'll be upperclassmen! ' Mountaineer - 27 FRESHMEN .. ovemow CLASSES Now that our first year in Ligonier High School is ata close, we of the Class of 1949 are beginning to review our past year and occasion- ally we must laugh at ourselves for getting lost between Room 2 and Room 3, for quaking in our slippers at the possibilities of an initiation, and for many comic and embarrassing positions in which we have found ourselves. ln looking back we have also discovered many things of which we can be proud. Our record in the Curtis Magazine Campaign has set a new high for Ligonier High School, we have contributed generously of our members to the football and basketball squads, to the band, to assembly programs, to clubs, and to the Moun- taineer staff. We believe we have done well. lt all started a few short weeks after we had unexpectedly overpopulated the building when, by order of those omnipotent Seniors who control the activities of the Lowly Frosh, we appeared in scrambled-up clothing: girls in pigtails and boys with earrings to receive our fate. The auditorium was rent by piercing shrieks of pain although, strangely enough, there were no fatalities. Feeling somewhat cocky at having survived our first great test, we determined to show that our class, the largest in years, was also one of the finest. Accordingly, we placed at Coach Abele's disposal a giant squad from which was to emerge a number of fine football players in- cluding one letterman, Edward Boyd. Then, too, we gave Mike Heller, Alastair MacDonald, and Peewee Breniser as athletic managers and Patty Riggs as a peppy cheerleader. Then, when basketball season rolled around, we had one Varsity player, Jake Burns, and many mem- bers including especially Bob Burns, Steve Tobias, Dick Menoher, and Bill Kovach on the J. V. team. lt is of our Curtis Magazine Campaign, how- ever, that we are particularly proud. Fred Haug- er was our highest salesman, Bill Miller came in Mount aineer Shirley, Jack, Charles, and Elvin decide that perhaps their fears of initiation were unnecessary since they all had such a swell time. OFFICERS President Shirley Snyder Vice President Jack Wallace Secretary Charles Graham Treasurer . , Elvin Breniser second, and all together we ran up a total of over eight hundred dollars. But our activities were not all work. With the aid of the faculty advisers our officers, Shirley Snyder, Jack Wallace, Charles Graham, and Peewee Breniser, arranged a party at which everyone enioyecl himself. Also there was the party the Seniors gave in the spring to make up for having initiated us in the fall. Freshmen homerooms presented interesting assembly pro- grams: Room 6 gave a pantomime with Mary Weltz narrating, Room 3 had a baby show, Room 4 took us on a trip to the zoo, Room 2 dramatized several short skits and Edith Boerner captivated us all with her piano selection, Clair de Lune. ln the years to come the Class of '49 will continue to enjoy their high school experiences, until they have earned their diplomas and will be sorry to leave L.

STAFF ADDS NEW FEATURES TO YEARBOOK The yearbook's going to be bigger and better with padded covers, eight more pages, and lots more pictures! This was senior business manager John Martin's well rehearsed speech, explaining to the business men the increase in price for advertising space. But 'tis true, dear students, every word of it. At the beginning of the school year the editors, business managers, and advisers decided to increase the number of pages and add something new-padded covers. This meant a small increase in price which you students willingly paid. For us members of the Mountaineer Stott, it meant long hours of planning and hard work. The traditional Mountaineer hang-out, Room 13, was always buzz- ing with activity the 6th period, for here you found the class editors busy writing, photography editors busy cropping pictures, and editors busy making plans, all this with the helpful suggestions and tireless guidance of our literary adviser, Miss Martin, and editor-in-chief Bob Wolford. Our art editors were proud to introduce their newly created protege to L. H. S, You have no doubt seen Eggy and his relatives on the preceding pages. As you can surmise, they were soon caught in the whirl of extra-curricular activities and made many new friends. Deserving credit goes to Mr. Mathews and his business managers who worked endlessly to put over our subscription campaign and raise money to finance the yearbook. Our funds were raised considerably by the profit from the Freshman Magazine Subscription Campaign. ,And yet, the more I ramble on about the life and growth of our yearbook the longer I'm detaining you from seeing and reading this super-swell edition So turn on dear students. If you enioy it as much as we have enioyed watching it grow, you'll love it. Mountains-or - 34 . . . . .

STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS SCHOOL PAPER Hats oFf to the Mountie Staff for their splendid iob of publishing the first school newspaper since The New Fort went out of existence in 1939. lt must be remembered that the Staff knew nothing whatsoever about editing a success- ful paper but nevertheless the greenies , as they might be called, dug right in and iotted down every little incident around the school worth printing. The editor, Jane Hood, her assistants, William Bradley and Carolyn Seaholm, and the rest of the staff along with the advisers, Miss Mclntyre and Mr. McKelvey, have published six issues. After each issue had been distributed, many students emerged from their homerooms with red faces from some of the write-ups in the article, Waggin' Tongues . Also a few of them were puzzled, when Mountie reporters would walk up to them and ask all about their life history. Finally after the reporters thought they knew enough, they would tell the bewildered individuals that they were to be the subjects of the next issue's Personality Column . Some ofthe credit for publishing The Mountie should go to the Home Room Representatives of the Student Council, for it was their excellent salesmanship that led the students to become interested in the newspaper which the editorial staff had so diligently prepared for them. Now that we once more have the school news going to press, let's keep it rolling and not have it die as it did in previous years. Mountaineer -- 35 Conlerence Room Workers l I Muir. Emert. STUDENTS SELL TICKETS AND HELP CHECK ATTENDANCE As of other years Ligonier again proved to be enthusiastic about sports. With the war being over, the people weren't quite so busy and they had time to enjoy sports. This meant work for the salesmen but they didn't mind this. They were thankful to live in a country where they could enjoy the traditional sports of football and basketball. The crowds were so large that students were urged to buy their tickets at twelve-thirty to lessen the congestion in the evening. The salesmen admit it was fun to do such a record selling business, even if it did mean missing the beginnings of the games. However, they were always there to join in on the victorious cheers at the finish of the games. Eleanor Iscrupe and Kathleen Parke were happy to see so many familiar faces of the alumni as customers. I'm sure we proved to them we were carrying on the old tradition of being on the winning side. The salesmen would love to have the credit for doing such an outstanding business, but they can't take what is not theirs. As you know it was the team which was responsible for this. As much as they disliked doing it, the salesman often had to close up shop, as there wasn't even standing room left at some of the basketball games. Along with the ticket salesmen we had the conference room workers sharing the same room. Their job was to see that all students who were absent were issued excuses to be signed by their parents. They too were kept busy especially around hunting season when some of our boys took off to chase a few rabbits. Even with this extra work you could always be sure of a pleasant reception by these competent workers.

Looking up the hall we were surprised to see our old friend, Eggy , walking by himself for the first time since he had acquired his pipe-cleaner legs. Why are you sitting out here? Eggy asked as he came up to Louise's desk. Are you being punished for misbehaving? Oh, no, only the well- behaved have the honor of sitting out here. Have you ever noticed someone slipping in and out of Room 4, while you were lying on the shelf waiting to have your face lifted? That was Katie's stooge. My iob is to sit out here in the hall and deliver any absentee slips, mail, or messages to the teachers. I am par- ticularly welcome as the harbinger of good news-any announcement which says school will be dismissed early. In other words, l'm iust Katie's messenger, ready to go wherever she chooses to send me. Can anyone be a stooge? WeII, replied Louise smiling, anyone, usually an upperclassman, who has a free period can ask Katie to give her a period of hall duty. I imagine even you would stand a chance. Why don't you go into the office and ask? ----- That's iust what I'II do. Be back in a minute! said Eggy as he hurried away. Several minutes later Eggy returned, the smile gone from his face. Shucks , he said, I wish eggs were the size of grapefruits instead of marbles. Katie iust said she is afraid the announcements would be bigger than I am, so I guess I won't take your iob away from you after alI.

Hall Force Mountaineer - 37 COUNCIL PRESENTS PRIZE TO ROOM 8 FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Wonder why we couldn't have a school newspaper? All the other schools do. . . . Didn't they sell candy here at school at lunch time several years ago? I wish they would do it now. . . . Gee whiz! no assembly program again this week. We only have assembly half the time anymore. . . . lt would look a lot merrier around here at Christmas, if the homerooms were decorated a little bit. Remarks such as these, overheard in the hall, were not overlooked by the progressive Student Council. The above mentioned matters were all brought before the council, considered, and acted upon successfully. The Student Council has also kept a schedule for the social events of the year. When the students lacked transportation facilities for attending basketball games, which were not held on our own hardwood, the Student Council chartered a bus for them. ln numerous other ways has this organization served the students. The Student Council is composed of representatives chosen by the students themselves. Each class, homeroom, and deserving organization has its own representative. Once a month the members meet to discuss old and new busi- ness. Sometimes the members were not inclined to be too serious, but neverthe- less they planned and introduced many activities that produced greater interest and harmony among the students. This year the Student Council with Bill Cochrane as president and Miss Dickinson as faculty adviser has definitely contributed a great deal to L. H.S. Besides being noted for its initiative and accomplishments, it represents to stu- dents a council to which they can present their appeals for minor additions or changes in school government.

WINS COVETED FORT LIGONIER FLAG The students of Ligonier Public School can be iustly proud of their record of buying Defense Stamps and Bonds. They helped Westmoreland County achieve its total sales of S4,272,989.6O during war days and until February 1946. How- ever, along with lending our money to Uncle Sam at a good rate of interest, we were learning habits of saving money regularly. Then, too, the student salesmen were gaining valuable experience in keeping records and handling money. At the beginning of the school year we were anxious to make such records that would entitle us to, first, the Bushy Run Flag and, finally, the Fort Ligonier Flag. Since the latter flag had been designed by one of our own students, Dale Campbell, we were especially desirous to win it. In December the county offi- cials awarded us this most precious trophy. Everyone, from the tiniest first grader to the most dignified senior, shared in this war eftort. Our loyal adviser, Miss Dickinson, with her clever pep talks and the homeroom salesmen, including Eddie Mitchell with his elaborate sys- tem of records for Room 8, encouraged rivalry for lOO94s participation between the homerooms. Top honors go to the Seniors in Room I0 who had a 10021 record for three years and to the rest of the 12th Graders in Room T3 who weren't far behind with their 9021. By the way, Room 'IO continued to purchase stamps even after this school proiect was ended at the beginning of the second semester. We are glad to have helped Westmoreland County lead all the other coun- ties in Pennsylvania in the total amount of money invested in Defense Stamps and Bonds. Mountaineer - 39 SMALL GROUP PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT If someone were to walk into the auditorium during Orchestra practice, he would think he were in the distant lands of the Far East, as the student musi- cians played the enchanting music of The Arabian Nights, The Mystic Land of Egypt, and The Chinese Temple Garden. Also at another time he might imagine himself to be in Carnegie Music Hall, as the Orchestra would switch to the classics and play such compositions as The Piano Concerto or The Fifth Symphony. Since the Orchestra lost eight members at the close of the 1944-45 term, five who graduated and three who transferred to other schools, this organization was limited to twenty musicians. Therefore they were especially grateful to two of the teachers, Miss Gettemy and Miss Naugle, who very graciously played the violin and cello with the student musicians. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester, all gossip during Orches- tra rehearsals was about Mr. Laughlin's new baton or stick as we called it. I guess we just cooldn't stand seeing him waving that refugee from a toothpick factory any longer so we bought him one. The Orchestra has had a very busy and enjoyable year playing for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Plays, the Spring Concert, the Baccalaureate Service, and Commencement. We are looking forward hopefully to next year when there will be more than enough musicians to fill vacancies caused by gradu- ation. Standing: Boerner, Behrhorst, H. Mar tin, Director Mr. Laughlin.

These closing measures of our Alma Mater, a cheer from the crowd, a blast from Mr. Laughlin's whistle, and the L. H. S. band left the football field and marked the passing of the half-time of another football game. A new feature was added this year to the serenading of the visiting school, when white letters spelling out GREETINGS were placed upon the caps of the band members. The Band displayed great loyalty to the team when despite mud, ankle deep, they went through their paces at the half-time of the Indiana game. At this time Jim McCracken gave aid to a lady in distress. Honey Snyder's shoe became stuck in the mud so Jim pulled Honey out shoe and all, placed her on drier ground, and the Band marched on. Our eight maiorettes in their snappy uniforms did a grand iob of leading the music makers in marching. Frequently, we overheard spectators comment- ing on our youngest maiorette, Nancy Menoher, who can twirl her baton with the best. Next year our head-majorette, Joan Pershing, will have graduated but has already trained another maiorette to take her place. At the All-County Band Concert in Greensburg, April 12, Helen Gettemy, Bill Nicely, Margie Serena, and Eddie Mitchell represented Ligonier. Then two of these musicians, Helen Gettemy and Bill Nicely, enioyed a three day vaca- tion from classes, April 25-27, when they participated in the Southwestern Band Meet at North Belle Vernon High School.

STUDENTS HELP DIRECT READING PRCDGRAM Come and look, his eyes shine in the dark! is the cry of all the librarians, when anyone walks into the library. He is Waggles , the puppy-dog hero of one of the juvenile books donated to the library by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Marietta, in honor of their daughter Gail. For these books a lovely memorial plate has been made by the Art Department. These books for the younger students in Grade School and many for us have been added to the shelves this year. Also many of our old favorites are being mended and replaced on the shelves. Walking into the Library any third period, one can find Bill Leichliter and Bob Dutcher, along with many others, busy at the task of doctoring books. Also during this period, those little yellow slips for overdue books are prepared for all those who forget to return their reading material on time. At noon it seems as if the Library is the most crowded spot in the whole building. There are so many people returning books, renewing them, borrow- ing them, and so forth, that it is a wonder to us how the librarians keep all the records straight. But, under the excellent supervision of Miss Mclntyre, they do very well in keeping all the books and magazines in order. Then, too, when Book Report time rolls around, they can give us information on where to find that author. Our librarians are doing an excellent job and we should be very proud of them. Mountaineer -- 42 Social Club ? Club period means dancing in the gym for one group of the Social Club. Left to Right Pres Joan Pershing Secy Mary Kennedy, Treas Howard Nicely Vice Pres Eleanor Iscrupe MANY MEMBERS DIVIDED INTO FIVE GROUPS Many new clubs have been organized since we started back to school last fall, and one of the most interesting is the Social Club. Born of the necessity of supplying some activity for the overflow of pupils from other clubs, it first appeared as an unorganized mass of over one hundred and fifty. We thronged to the gym that first day, nearly filling it as there were so many of us. But with the combined efforts of Mrs. Ferguson's wild gesturing and Miss Keffer's shrill whistle, we settled into the semblance of order and managed to elect officers. With careful management, in a short time our club was divided into five groups of comfortable size under a simple but effective rotation system. This is how it worked: while Groups I and III were in the gym dancing and playing mass games, members of Group ll were enjoying themselves in Room 7 playing small games like checkers and monopoly under the guidance of Miss Gettemy. At the same time members of Group IV were learning valu- able information about etiquette, which provides much needed instruction for the average teen-ager, from Mrs. Ferguson in Room 8. Group V met in the Art Room under the interesting, informal instruction of Mr. Weller, who taught them hand-crafts. Mountaineer -- 43 Future Farmers ol America Fourth Row: Bacher, Frye, Huston, J.

WINS MANY HONORS THIS YEAR The Ligonier Chapter of the Future Farmers of America has been very active this year under the supervision of Mr. John Otto. In October the entire student body was conscious of the initiation of new members when some Ag. students appeared wearing green paper hands pinned to their sweaters. From that time on their activities have contributed much to school life. These Future Farmers have won recognition in many local and statewide contests for outstanding agriculture proiects. The highest awards came to Gerald Smith, Harold Newell, Billy West, and Glenn Henderson for their year round projects. Around school all departments depend on the Future Farmers to construct bleachers, to build properties for the stage, dances, and Senior Fair, and to be .lacks-of-all-trades. ln the limited facilities of their shop they have built bird houses, grain scoops, and even a red trailer, complete to rubber tires. Samples of their work and posters were on exhibit at the Farmers' Institute in February. Nor were these Future Farmers without their social and athletic interests. They sold hot dogs and soft drinks at the football games, held their own parties, and sponsored a square dance after one of their basketball games. More than that their basketball team captured top honors in the F. F. A. Chapter of West- moreland County Basketball League. This was the first year that the Future Farmers of this county had organized such a Basketball League and it proved very worth-while and popular. In the future we hope that more equipment and courses may be added to the Agriculture Department so that more Future Farmers of America can receive excellent training in wood-work, soil enrichment, and animal welfare. Mountaineer - 44 NIMRODS REVIVE FORMER POPULAR CLUB Several years ago Ligonier High School had one of the best rifle teams in the country. They worked and practiced every evening they had an hour to spare. In a few years they became experts who won many honors and trophies in both county and national contests. The members of the crack team had all received their expert riflemen's awards and all of them had earned them. When the war began and shells became scarce, the Rifle Club broke up and the guns were packed in grease and put away. Soon, many former members were displaying their skill in Uncle Sam's service. It was not until December of 1945, that the guns were taken out of storage and the grease cleaned off them. A number of sports-minded students sug- gested that Ligonier High School should have a Rifle Club and when this pro- posal was presented to the Student Council, they were granted permission and help. Then one day when there were club meetings, the Rifle Club met and elected its officers. Mr. Otto consented to be an instructor and so the club was organized. The members have sent for a charter and have paid the National Rifle Asso- ciation their dues. When the charter arrives, they expect to undertake matches. They hope some day to win back the title of expert marksmen and already some of the boys have started working on their badges and awards. With only a few practices the boys have improved greatly. Some of the fellows who shot a 74 the first time are now shooting an average of 94. What will they be like when they start having regular practices? Back Row: Wallace, Boyd, Harkcom V. Pres.

With this thought in mind, the lettermen who were in school this year, with the aid of Coach Paul Abele, organized Ligonier's first Monogram Club. They drew up a constitution where-in it declared that all athletes who had won letters prior to September T946 were to be charter members. However, only those members who are still in school are active members. The group decided that some sort of award, such as a lapel pin or watch charm, should be awarded to each graduating member each year. To raise funds this year, the varsity basketball team, who are members, played the Alumni. Also the club secured some help from the Vets' team for whom they sold tickets at their games. The club also secured a new form of certificate which will be presented to each letter-earner. This certificate will be printed on parch- ment and well suited for framing. To start the ball rolling, the club conducted a three day initiation of new members in March. Imagine McKee, Weimer, Boyd, Mickey, Bradley, J. Martin, and H. Martin clad in knee-length pants. silk stockings, red hats, and shirts worn backwards for three days. Then on the final evening of initiation they went through quite a bit of tom-foolery which ranged from being branded with ice to boxing while blindfolded. They proved to be the best of sports and now are looking forward to other enioyable evenings of fellowship with the members of the Monogram Club. bell, Bolha.

GRADUATES PRESENT A LITTLE HONEY On the evening of April 5, 1946, the Seniors presented the clever comedy, A Little Honey, under the able direction of Miss Dickinson and the student directors, Bill Bradley and Helen Gettemy. Nancy Nicely portrayed Diana Minton, a young woman of twenty, who, by the way, was too intelligent. Her younger sister Jerry, a bobby-soxer, was Joan Pershing. Tom Corning, as romantically played by Bill Cochrane, was in love with Diana, and Albert Parker, the young man next door, was John Martin. Mr. Minton, the hen-pecked husband who turned the tables and became boss of the house, was portrayed by Bob Wolford. The part of Mrs. Minton, the mother who knew all the answers, was taken by Lee Hartman. The little pest ofthe family, who kept the house arrayed with repugnant animals, was Eleanor Iscrupe or Scoots. Grandma Thornton, a lively old lady of seventy-seven who came to visit and straightened out everyone's affairs successfully, was enacted by Glea Riggs. And that sour faced nurse, Miss Simmons, was none other than our smiling Jeanne Kinsey, while the sarcastic cook, Delores, was interpreted by Carolyn Seaholm and the Southern widow, Eve Tyler, was played by Janie Brereton. That bushy man from the Sure-Shot Company was played by Nick Malkoch. Many humorous incidents, such as rescuing two dozen doughnuts from Bradley and Cochrane and Carolyn Seaholm's short-rave-wadio, occurred during our practices.

How- ever, it was postponed on account of the polio epidemic. Consequently, the Mount's first baptism of fire was a non-league tilt with Dale Boro. whom they defeated. OFF WITH A BANG The Mounties with plenty of green material backed by a few hard-fighting veterans stole the show in the opening game by defeating the Raiders 21-0. An outstanding feature of the game came early in the third quarter when Leon- ard detoured a Dale aerial and ran 65 yards down the sidelines to score. . UP AND OVER ln the hardest fought battle of the season, the Mounties blanked St. Vincent 6-0 in the lat- ter's stadium before a crowd of 2200 fans in the only night game of the season. The lone score came in the fourth period when Malkoch hit pay dirt for L. H. S., a result of an 85 yard drive spear-headed by Craig, Malkoch, and Leonard.

VARSITY PLAYERS With the start of the basketball season last fall, Ligonier High entered its ninth year of W.P.I.A.L. competition. Since entering W.P.I.A.L. competition the Mounties have ended in first place five times. Although not making the grade this year, the aggressive cagers offered the stif- fest resistance as runner-up. In a pre-season prediction one newspaperman was heard to have stated that the Mounties would end up next to the cellar team. But there is quite a difference from next to the cellar team and next to first place. The team that surprised everyone consisted of a group of boys lacking experience, with the exception of Nick Malkoch, a hold-over from last year's varsity. The Mountaineers opened the hardwood season by playing host to the Youngwood quin- tet, December I2. This game ended favorably for the boys from the Mountains, so the follow- ing week they iourneyed to Latrobe, only to be defeated. But sweet revenge came the same week as Latrobe visited in Ligonier. With the best of three games tucked away, the Mounties took a trip to Jeannette for a not too pleasant evening. This evened the pre-season warm-up games at two won and two lost. Here was evi- dence enough to convince most people that the cagers of Ligonier High were not going to be easy picking when they met sectional opposi- tion. On January 4 Ligonier traveled to Scott- dale, a new member of Section XII, for their first test in league games. This, their first victory Mountaineer Back Row: Campbell, Wilkins, Clark, Craig, Burns. Front Row: H. Martin, Bolha, J. Martin, Wolford, Bradley, Kinsey, Captain Malkoch, Coach Abele. away from home, added new vigor for the fol- lowing Tuesday they topped Hurst on the home fioor to remain one of the teams in first place. Then the following game proved disastrous as Derry Twp. ruled with a one point lead to drop Ligonier from first place to a tie for second place. The following game with Blairsville again brightened hopes since victory was ours. On January 18 the Mounties pulled a surprise upset that gave the first hopes of Section XII Iaurels. The surprise came when Ligonier handed Derry Boro. her first defeat and again moved up to be tied for first place. But again the Mountaineer's apple-cart was upset, when the Ramsay team came over to decide rightful ownership of first place. After the Ramsay defeat, the Mounties in second place left for East Huntingdon where they ended the first half of the league games with a victory. During the intermission between league games Ligonier played host to the St. Vincent representatives. After a hard fought battle the Mounties finally emerged as the victor with but one point lead. Another game with Youngwood was scheduled but had to be postponed to a future date. To open the second half of the season, Scott- dale was invited over for an evening of enter- tainment. It was quite an enioyable even- ing as the Mounties supplied all the enter- tainment in handing the Scotts another defeat. With their first victory of the half the boys buckled right down to work and the same week -56 . PRODUCE pursued and captured the scalps of the Hurst Hurricanes. Inspired by two victories and the lust for revenge, the Mounties took on Derry Twp. on their home floor. It was these same boys who handed Ligonier their first league de- feat, but the Eagles fiew too low and as a result the Mounties did a little wing clipping. The with Blairsville, who had in their preceding game in first place. ln a des- Blairsville came close to was finally halted and next engagement was defeated Mt. Pleasant and put Ligonier back perately fought game upsetting Ligonier but topped by a few points. ln the coming week the Mounties were to play two of their toughest rivals in contests for the sectional crown. The results of the first game proved satisfactory, because a cramp was inflicted upon the Derry Boro. Ramblers that spelled defeat. Then came the toughest and most important game, L. H. S. vs. Mt. Pleasant. This game was to decide who should have the throne, Ligonier or Mt. Pleasant. The conflict was close all the way with both teams playing defensive ball, but the final gun found Mt. Pleasant leading by several points. Although out of sectional running, the Mounties came right back to triumph over East Hunting- don and conclude the league games. In the post-league games the Mounts first encountered the Jayhawks of Jeannette. Again the whisper for revenge filled the locker room and the Jayhawks bowed before the quick mov- ing Mounties. ln the following game with St. A HCINDERELLA TEAM Vincent, history repeated itself as the Blue and White came through with another victory. ln our third after season game, Youngwood turned in a big surprise by ringing up the highest score of the season against the Mounts for their vic- tory. With the total of sixteen wins and six de- feats, the Ligonier Mounties hung up their sweat- stained suits for another year. The Ligonier team was the biggest surprise of the season in battling their way into second place instead of trailing in seventh place as had been predicted. the T945-46 a Hutchison afforded an to celebrate after winning games. Their favorite song was Someone's in the Kitchen With Dinah, which they usually saved for singing while riding through Ligonier. One of the added features of basketball season was the use of bus to transport the players. This excellent opportunity for the boys This basketball season afforded a lot of sportsmanship and fun for everyone even though we didn't wind up in first place. How- ever, the entire community was sorry to hear that Ligonier High School wouldn't be repre- sented in the Westmoreland County Basketball Tournament this year due to differences of opin- ion between the County Athletic Board and Lig- onier High mentors. But next year we hope the disagreement will be settled and once again we will be there to defend our position. Some of the boys after the game . . . Our man Bolha in action...

The JV's had very little coaching for the first few games because Coach Abele had had little time to spend on them, since he had the full responsibility of coaching the Varsity. Then they were presented with a coach for themselves: Ex-Sergeant Edward Grega took over the job. It wasn't long until they got on the ball and started winning a few. The Junior Mounts played a JV team every- where they went and were hosts to the JV's of every visiting team during the season. They traveled right along with the Varsity in those stream-lined Hutchison buses, although it was crowded at times. At one time during the sea- son the JV's had a total of 28 players out for the team, this showed the spirit our High School boys have. The team was later reduced to 15 players. Cheerleaders None of them are famous conductors, but the leaders of our Cheering Symphony did get slam bang results. Though sometimes our symphony groups were large and rather unorganized, Jane, Peggie, the two Beas, and Pat, garbed in snappy blue and white uni- forms, received amazing response to the cheers they led to urge on our gridiron and basketball stars. Our cheerleaders also con- ducted pep meetings where a bevy of new cheers were introduced. At the close of the football season the girls were quite honored, when they were invited to attend the football banquet at Washington Furnace Inn. Mountaineer Besides playing JV teams the Junior Mounts played Mr. Otto's Ag. team, edging a 28-25 vic- tory over them. They also played Mr. Abele's second string Varsity but were beaten by a 29-T7 score. We might also mention the excitement at the Jeannette home game where a few of our boys and theirs got tangled up. But later the boys apologized, as all good sports should. The main team, or should we say the boys who played the most, were Captain J. Simons, J. Graham, W. Leonard, R. Hunter, and G. Stephens. They were frequently substituted by R. Burns, M. Mickey, R. Menoher, and T. Nicely. The scoring was evenly distributed among the first team but J. Graham was the high scorer for the season. Seeing that all the Varsity regulars are seniors, we hope to have some of our Junior Mounts on next year's Varsity. Left to Right: B. Fish, J. Brereton, P. Cochrane, 8. Eisoman Ak P.
