In brief my message to you is this: 'lhe situation is entirely in your hands. Now' is the clay of salvation, or now is the day of doom. Walter H. Church Superintendent S Q5 finy You are now at the turn of the road. Behind you lie twelve years of study and training-a period of preparation for lifes work, Before you lies the world in which you must find your places, Here each ones worth is judgednot by personal glory achieved and not by wealth amassed, but only by services rendered to mankind. To render service requires sacrifice, courage, and desire, not for private gain but for public well being. In closing may I convey to you my con- gratulations, and best wishes which carry with them the hope that each may give to the world a life of worth-while work, Mr. Maurice R.

Continu- ing our visit we see Mr, Wolfe putting theorem on the hoard and in Room O Mr Ritenour is explaining different phases of Economics, Opening the door to Room 7 we hear Miss Watson descrihing some incident in American History. Farther up the hall, Miss Colantoni has the students saying gareon which I am sure is French. Room 9 has a Roman ' phere as Miss O'Donn ll lu y explains Latin declens' . ' urning around and going back down the hall we see Mr. Levy conducting a bookkeeping class. ln the next ro ' Werlinich is putting hie V' ' on the black- board.

We then stop a moment and listen to one of Miss l-lasers music classes, Leaving the main floor, we trudge up to the second Hoor. On arriving to the top of the stairs, we are greeted by a burst of music. It comes from the band room, where Mr. McCarter is directing his band members. Cn entering Room 14 we become absorbed in Mr, Colantonis analysis of the structure of a leaf. We pass down the hall and, in Room I 5, Miss Magealson is discussing famous English authors. Miss Durkins class is busily engaged studying Ancient History, while across the hall Mr. Rahn is helping a student find the necessary book for a refer- ence reading, The next door up the hall opens into the Chemistry Laboratory where Mr. 1-lattman is presiding over the juniors. CBang! thats just another test tubej. Through the connecting door we watch Mr, Brumfield perform a difficult experiment for the Physics class. Passing through the lecture room and and entering the Science Laboratory, we are just in time to hear Mr. Sporcic explain the operation of the steam engine to his General Science class. We leave the laboratory and in Room 17, listen to Mr. Surdock's lecture to his Sophomore History students. The bell, having rung, signifies a changing of classes, we pass through tlie crowded halls and notice Mr, Frazier and Miss Schindehutte discussing the comparative merits of the theme which they have received. Cur last stop is at Room I9 where Miss Artuso is giving Spanish dictation to her students. I hope you have enjoyed this informal glimpse of our teachers at work.

We carefully chose our class officers at our first class meeting. We selected as the ofheers Chester Zadrozny, Ray An- derson, lvlelva Werlinich, and john Fall. The in- terests and talents in our class are widespread and cover many activities. Our showing in the field of dramatics was successful and the junior Class Play, Lady Spithreu will be long remembered for its skill- ful acting and staging. The work of the juniors in the operetta cast helped the operetta 'The Spanish Crandeeu to be as successful as it was. juniors were Chester Zadrozny, Martin Richardson, james Sera- piglia, Paul Hlasnik, Michael Spak, William Sliwka and many others. In both basketball and track we won the intermural championships. Both junior dances, one with the assistance of the faculty, and the other alone, were very successful ,and their success was due to the support of all the classes of the high school. Our class contributed some very efflcient and con- vincing debaters to the school debating team. lvlem- bers of the junior Class actively engaged in assisting with the editing and the publication of The Roxian and the Rox Rocket . However, not all of the time of our class was devoted to making ourselves the lead- ers in extra-curricular activities, but we devoted much time to making ourselves the leaders of the school in scholastics. Having thus qualified ourselves that we may be worthy to become the successors of the gradu- ating class, we are prepared to take on our duties as Seniors during the coming year. 28 ,l UN I ORS Pre.ridenl-Chester Zadrozny Vire Pre.viden1..Ray Anderson Secretary- -Nlelv 1 Werlinich 'llrea.vurer...john Fall RlX5lXl 5 Frm! mu' joe llruhy, Andrew .Mene- uch, Leo liwaternilx, Charles Kuzma.

Kvlwru, SOPHOMOR ES fthyumn 72? OIMOZZJ The now Sophomores, returned to high Sf :ant vacation with a cheerful smile: earn something. Immediately setting, zed our ambitions and our names st mor roll list. Though we de- voted mu , dies, we did not devote all of our time .t ime to support the various activities oi :hr ioom lo sold the highest number of I for og eretta 'and were given a theater party as a reward for their efforts. Oufhclass is well represented in athletics. In football we have such stars as Rudy Michalism, jack Barrett, and Lester Etter. Z1 track we are ably represented by Frank Braugjy. Our largest social, event of the year, the Big Apple Dance was held on April 20, and was a great success. Through the untiring efforts, of the dance committee and of our K ...ass iofficersg Paul Kuzmich, Dorothy Braidic, Marie Feiertag, and Ruth Dejohn, the dance will be remembered as one of the highlights ofthe school term. .f 1 The successful Operation of the various activities of the high school depends greatly on the Sophomores. Many of the most skillful tyfists, editors, and artists are members of the class of 1940, We have been very active in dramatics, especially in the assembly pro- grams and the operetta. Members of our class have been actively engaged in the musical organizations such as the band, orchestra, and in the vocal groups such as the Girls' Chorus and the Mixed Chorus. In these last two years we have experienced much and also learned much as experience is the most efficient teacher, With the coming of another school term we will find ample opportunity for the use of new knowledge in crossing the obstacles before us as juniors, A 95? ROXIAN 'A' 31 77525 man gd!! ln September, the lfreshman Class, bursting with enthusiasm, descended on Nl,R.l'l,S. embarking on a four year voyage on the sea of education. Praying that school would not be the dreadful ordeal the upperclassmen said it would be, we falteringly entered the doors to the high school. Cautiously approaching our rooms, we hoped thatwe would not be noticed. Schedules and well-meant advice only confused us niore, but we soon become straightencd out. The won k was pleasant, and we began to progress on the rocky road to knowledge. Our interests broadened out and we began to take an interest in activities. Room ll, a room of lfreshman girls, was one of the highest rooms of the school in the ticket sales for the operetta, 'Wllhe Spanish Grandeeu, Some who were musically inclined joined the orchestra, band. and the glee club. Freshman joined various clubs, and the Rox Rocket, several were in the operetta. Our class was well represented in athletics, and we gave our whole-hearted support to the year- book and the school paper. We accomplished our goal, and we are conhdent, that we can fulfill our duties as Sophomorcs. CIAFIZ A l:lf.YI mu' Inf!

One of the many new ideas for the yearbook was candid snapshots. The pur- pose is to catch teachers and students at unexpected moments and snap their pic- iures lrefoie they are aware of it, These pictures proved to be very unusual and interesting to all of the teachers and students of the school. The class pictures were taken according to the rooms instead of in one large group. The staff was not divided into different departments as was the custom in the previous years, Instead, it was kept in oneitinit, each member doing his part of the work in each section. The staff was placed under a very capable editor-in- chief, lfesiderius Zubritzky, Under his leadership, and with the supervision of its faculty advisors, Mr, Brumheld, lvliss Artuso and Mr. Frazier, the staff edited and published a very successful yearbook. 36 F , I 1 At the beginning of this year, lylr. Shannon, faculty adviser of the Rox Rocket, divided the Rocket staff into three departments-the editorial, production and business departments, Through the cooperation of these three staffs, the Rox Rocket again took its rightful place in the field of scholastic journalism, The success of this practical educational project was phenomenal, for in com- petition with all classes of publications produced by all methods, the Rocket re- ceived many awards, while in its own class it greatly outdistancedits competitors, Awards, certihcates. cups and plaques were received from every part of the coun- try.

The efficiency with which the school business is transacted depends greatly on the girls and boys that work in the principals ofhce, In the ofnce, the girls keep the files of the school, keep records of absentees, answer mail, and typewrite material. They mimeo- graph the tests which the teachers give and are the cog around which the school revolves. Their work is not only necessary for the school, but here they also learn the correct way to conduct a business office. The office manager, Miss Isabel Werner, teachcs them the different practices used in business establishments, This is very benencial because they can acquire actual experience in taking dic- tation, typing letters, typing statistics, and keeping office files. They get a chance to put their knowledge to actual use, thus making themselves more proficient in their occupation.

P Linkenhimer director of our school band and orchestra for seven years, had resigned his position to ac cept a similar one in Perry High School of Pittsburgh. How ex er our sadness was turned to joy in the arrival of Mr. Robert H. lVIcCarter His friendly and co operating manner soon won him many friends, and our band cc ntinued its hne work throughout the school year. Through thick and thin rain and snow the band followed the football team no matter how far the distance to ensure a lighting spirit in our players. Under Mr. lVlcCarter's direction the band marched in the Armistice and Memorial Day parades, as well as giving two hne concerts in as sembly. During the past few years the band had been handicapped by the old uniforms, but recently with the purchase of new uniforms they made a xerx fine appearance marching in the Memorial Day Parade. .QAQQZ fm!

The instrumentation consists of about txx enty violins, txx o violas, two cellos, a bass violin, a tuba, three cornets, live clarinets. three saxaphones, two altos, three trombones, a flute, a piano. and a set ol' percussion including txxo tympanies. We have heard the orchestra play many times throughout the year: in chapel programs. baccalaureate services. the Senior Class Day Program, The Ohio Valley Hospital Nurses Graduation, and the annual operetta. This group reaches its climax in .June on the night of the Senior commencement. The orchestra ac- companied the chorus and the various leads in the annual operetta.

So papa Hhs quite a hit and soon is able to tell higger and hetter fish-stories than Ananias and Baron lvlunehausen rolled into one. 'lihe family. with its great grandmother, and its long suffering mother, is certainly a realistic one. lt might, perhaps, remind you of your own family.

The ultra-modern, humorous play was centered around Kay Sutton, Lady Spitfire, a spoiled but beautiful heiress who plans to elope with a fortune hunter. When she stops at Rutherford School, she is persuaded by two young men, Tom and Bud, working there, and ignorant of her real identity , to pose as Kay Sutton, in order that those girls who had threatened to leave the school, might be dazzled by her name and fortune and so remain. The plot becomes involved when Kay's father refuses to recognize her. He threatens to have her arrested for writing checks under his daughters name. Finally, the school becomes a successg Kay's identity is re- vealed and she cools off in the arms of Tom. The play, as a whole, was fast moving and a great success.

Don Alberto, The Spanish Grandeen, and his joyous people are in his gardens, when George Rushton, an American millionaire, and his beautiful niece, Dorothy, enter the gardens. Hermosa, a Spanish matron, discovers that Rushton, whom she considered an old fool, is a millionaire. lm- mediately her mind is changed, and Hermosa devotes her time to pursuing poor Rushton, Meanwhile Dorothy is introduced to Robert Carlson, a representative of the Consolidated lfruit Company. Dorothy and Robert, the two Americans in a foreign land, fall in love. At the same time Don Alberto tried to win Dorothyslove, without success, of course, as her interests lay elsewhere than in the romantic Don. Thereupon Don Alberto plots with his right-hand man, General De Bileti, in order to force Carlson to fight lil Diablc, the wildest, most feared bull in Spain.

Because she is in love with the Don, and wishes Carlson to take Dorothy away from Spain, Paloma tells Carlson of the plot, and of a way to overcome fearsome El Diablo of lil Dorado. The day of the bull fight arrives, In an inelosure, lil Diablo furiously paws the ground, waiting for the signal to dash from the pen. The signal is given. Out comes El Diablo. After a brief struggle, Carlson overcames the bull by whispering something into his year. Amid the wild clamoring of the crowd, Carlson secures Dorothy, and so paves the way for Paloma to win the Ioveol her handsome, Don Alberto. 5775? ROXIAN 'A' 47 -.Q s 'iw X , N. M.

This group offers high school girls an oppor- tunity to enjoy their high school days. The Roxettes have representatives from all the classes and are very efficient as usherettes during plays put on by the school. Meetings are held bi-monthly. In October, committees were selected, from some 100 members of the club, for the Annual Girls' Halloween Dance. lt was the most successful dance the Roxettes ever held. The next few months were just routine for the Roxettes until they received charts to Gil out by which the club received a nominal sum for each one that was Glled out. This money was used for the expenses of the Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet held in the latter part of May. Pins were purchased for the Senior Mem- bers ofthe club as a gift for their services during the year. oxeffei gag 50 ,fifemty Qu Prexiden1N,,Paul Kuzrnieh Vice Pre.vzden1eRuth De john Secrelaryilvlarie Feiertag 'lreixsllrrrij can Stahl The Literary Club was Grst organized in the spring of l937 by a group of Fresh- men who were interested in reading good books and in increasing their knowledge of speaking and writing.

The club, although young, is a very active one and has many plans for future activities. ln November, the members made and placed in the various class- rooms posters announcing National Book Week and encouraged other students to read. Varied and interesting programs were presented at the meeting. At one of the meetings, scenes from Shakespcares Taming of the Shrew' were pre- presented before the club members. They were given in modern dress with mem- bers of the club doing the dramatics, The club made a trip to an observatory in early May. The trip was made in the evening and visitors were invited.

Meetings were held every two weeks and at these meetings programs were ar- ranged, Oral reports were given concerning Roman topics. As the club was in need of money to continue its activities the .ised funds by selling candy at the bas- ketball games. The club was active u year, and the year was very successful both financially and intellectually. A week before the closing of the high school for vacation, the Latin Club held a picnic for the members ofthe organization. The picnic was a great success and was very much enjoyed by all. The club disbanded for the summer and it will be organized again wich the opening of the next school term. fain dug l'ru.titlvril,Virginia lvladdalon Vi t'Lf Prvsulunl Dorothy Braidic Sei-remrv, julia l.uvandox'icl1 ll-I'KL1SllVL'!'-.-RUlll VVillig l 52 First row, left to right lvlelva Wei- ch, lrving Brourman, Miss E, W'atson, Enid Hewlett, Betty Ross S cl i B h K ' ,Nl r li Seffier, Natalie Werlinich, Alice Reis. econ rou ert a Cnzle a y Third row Frank DiCenzo, Dorothy Braidic, jean Stahl, Helen Cigoi, Herman Ccllcr Faurlh row John Gaal, Desiderius Zuhritzky, Vwfarren Turner, Charles Yaksctic.

The club sent teams to the Pitt Inter- scholastic Debating Tournamentg two debates were arranged and held with Mun- hall High School and Ambridge High School, The debating team also actively participated in the Checkerboard Debate Tournament held at Charleroi High School. After the tournament at Charleroi High School, a debate was arranged between iVlcKees Rocks High School and Donora High School debating teams. The last debate of the seawn was the debate with the Canonsburg team. Though most of the debates were non-dedsional, the team acquired sufficient victories to have a favorable balance.

These students organized the Circulo Castellano at the be- ginning ol' the term and launched a program of absolute Spanish derivation. At the meetings to transact the club business, the members spoke the Castillian tongue. Spanish musical instruments were obtained and placed on display for the benefit ol the club, Debate teams were organized to debate questions con- cerning the Spanish crisis. M ss Artuso, the inspiring adviser ol' the club, started a correspondence with Spanish students in Latin America, ln these exchanges oi' letters, many members received pictures and magazines from Mexico and South America. Miss lithel Garroway of the Mary Cowley School in Pittsburgh pre- sented an interesting talk on her travels through Mexico to the members of the club and their guests in the school auditorium. A Spanish newspaper under the supervision ol ,joseph Cunningham was also edited.

The club was formed with the ainlq of propagating more widespread knowledge concerning France and all things arenc . Meetings were held monthly, and at these meetings programs were prepared and presented. Here programs proved worthwhile and kept the students interested in the affairs ofthe club, The club was also active socially. At Christmas, it held a Christmas Party for the members of the club. Refreshments were served and gifts were exchanged. Some of the members had prepared a small sketch and other individual acts which they performed for the amusement of the rest. The affair was lively and enjoyed immensely by the people who attended. Before the activities of the year were over, the club voted whether they should have the members purchase French Club pins. The club voted in favor of the proposition and most of the members soon received their pins. 221464 gud Pre.videntgWarren Turner Via' Prexzdenl-lrving Brourman Srrrvlaruv ,,,l.ill1an jones 'I rru.ri1rr'r,, Nessie Hicllch 9755 ROXIAN 'A' .55 R01 BM S.Al.lISMEN Ifirxl mir' ld!

One person xx as selected from each room to take care of the sales of all things such as Roxians, Rox Rockets, dance tickets, and all other tickets to the various functions of the school. These salesmen, each with one assistant salesman to help him, were selected by Mr. j. Kiselicia, the supervisor of the business staff. with the aid of the home room teach- ers. They were chosen for their efficiency and their ability to do such work. This system worked successfully this past year and will be continued in the future. qfee due This year the girls glee Club was revived after a two years' absence. A group of interested girls came to Miss l-laser voluntarily and asked her if she wouldn t organize a girls' chorus. She did and the results were very pleasing. The club has about 40 members and Miss l-laser claims that these 40 members are the most eager. most willing, most promising students. ln October they visited the Stephen Foster Memorial and the University of Pittsburgh. The majority of these girls were in the operetta. The Spanish Gran- deef They also took part in the chapel program at Christmas time at the end of the year. The senior members of the chorus were awarded pins. 56 'A' earn In tT0 'A' 'A' i lfirxl mu- lvlr Clolantoni, Paul Andrasko, james Nlelivien, W'alter Wieldine, jack llrecn. .joseph Slmka, lX4artin Richardson, lidw ard Blazier, lili lvlaslaney, james Serrpiglia, William Williams, fil1L'5lL'l' Zadrozriy.

Colantoni. he prepared the team for the first game of the season against Monessen. After a hard fight the Roxians defeated Monessen by the score of 6-0 in a night game. The next victim to fall before the team was Rankin by the score of l3-0. Coraopolis, in a surprising game, held the Blue and White Raiders to a O-0 tie. Quickly recovering from the shock. the Meliees Rocks team smashed through their next three games defeating Car- negie li-0, Dormont 7Z0, and Crafton 32-7. After these victories, lfad luck xxasin store for the Roxians , for a powerful Cfanonsburg team succeeded in defeating them to the score of I-l-O.

New records were set by Stickel in the 220 dash and AMZWQU The cheerleaders composed of three girls and three boys under the direction of Miss Haser, with the fine cooperation of the student body were able to provide a peppy and stimulating atmosphere at our football games. The cheerleaders, led by Albert Strelicks, provided pep before the games by meeting in the auditorium and gymnasium. Here, the freshman learned the different yells and songs of the high school which usually drowned out the opposition of the rival cheerers, The boys wore white trousers with blue sweaters while the girls wore blue skirts and white sweaters. Despite rain and muddy grounds the cheerleaders led the student body in cheering regardless of how their uniforms suffered, The cheerleaders will miss Albert Strelicks and Warren Turner wh l grad- uate this june but we are sure that the Cheerleaders of next year will keep up the pep of the school.
