SELLER BUSINESS MANAGER Rudolph Michalism Class of 1940 WE HONOR AND RESPECT TTOW long one lives is not always so import- ant as Kow vvhole-heartedly one lives. It is thus that we must look upon Rudolph Michalism whose tragically short life, when measured by years, was nevertheless filled with a zest for hard, clean activity in every endeavor in which he engaged. His work in the classroom never represented less than his best efforts; on the grid- iron less than the hardest, cleanest game he could play. His sincere friendship was valued by all who were close to him. Surely no life, however long, could be richcM- than this. So we reverently dedicate this page to the memory of Rudolph Michalism whose quiet friendliness and tireless energy will ever be an inspiration to us. FORE ¥A . TN presenting this Roxian, we have tried to portray a true record of our achievements oi the happiest years of our hves. We are bidding farewell to our Alma Mater in which we have tried to prepare ourselves for the outer world, but in our memories we shall always carry with us the thought of McKees Rocks High School.

California State Teachers ' College; Waynesbitrg College; M.A. Washing- ton and Jefferson College; University of Pittsburgh. MR. WALTER H. CHURCH CONTAINED in the following well-arranged message are the parting words of advice from Mr. Walter H. Churcfi, Superintendent, to the Senior Class of 1939: Students, it has been said, on leaving school, quickly divide themselves into two classes— those who have learned nothing, and those who have forgotten every- thing. The individual educates himself; and the best that teachers can do is to inspire the desire for mental exercise and faith in the power of labor to develop faculty, and to open worlds which are infinite, which each individual must re- discover for himself. What has been done, you can still do. In fact, we believe the best is yet to be done. The people we call ancient were but beginners. We are the true ancients. We stand in a wider world, and move forward with more purpose along more open ways. If we are weak and inferior, the fault lies in ourselves, not in the age. The time for doing the best things is ever present. I feel perfectly safe in predicting that the accomplishments of the class of 1939 with the next twenly-five years will reveal that its philosophy is set forth in the above paragraphs. Page Light BETTER WAY OF LIVING MR. MAURICE R. ARNER A S parting words of farewell Mr. Arner chose to compose tlie following message - - which will long be remembered by the Senior Class of 1Q5Q: Today you stand at the threshold of life ' s workshop. Before you appear many portals. The key that unlocks each is that of service. One ' s worth to the world is measured only in terms of service rendered. The world judges us. not by what we may do. but by what we actually do. of rihc sifishr Our place in life must be hewn out by the tools ot sacrifice, unsel fair play, and work for others. As I bid you adieu, may you each find your place of service in life, remember- ing the lines of the poet: ' Give to the world the best that you have And the best will come back to you. With these words in mind there is no doubt that the members of the class will strive to be of some service to the demanding world of today. Maurice R. Arner; A.B. Ohio State University; M.E.

Artuso rage EU THE HISTORY OF McKEES ROCKS HIGH SCHOOL TUST as every individual proudly Iioasts of Kis ancestry, so does the senior class of McKees Rocks Higfi Scliool take pride in the evolution of this noble institu- tion which has wrought changes in their lives for the last four years. The year 1912 marked the first appearance of a high school in xMcKees Rocks. It was a single room in the West Park School Building, with a student body of thirty odd students tutored by one full-time instructor. Miss Laura G. Pound, and two part-time instructors of drawing and music. Miss Anna Smith and Miss Mary Hull. During the middle of the third school term, early in 1915. the increases in students and faculty necessitated removal to the new Ellsworth High School. This building was the alma mater of several members of the present faculty. Extra curricular activities in the form of clubs, sports, publications, and debating teams supplemented the excellent courses enhanced the pleasure of the students school life. With the steady increase of the student body arose the demand for more space, an enlarged faculty, and better teaching facilities. The School Board then decreed the building of a new high school. After sixteen months of construction, the building was ready for occupancy on January 16. 1928. Under the careful supervision of Principal Walter H. Church, now superin- tendent of the public schools of McKees Rocks, and the present principal, Maurice R. Arner, the high school has developed to a considerable extent. Progress has been marked by the excellent guidance of the school board consisting of Cyrus A. Davis. Solicitor; Mrs. Elizabeth Yunker. H. D. Hewlett. John R. Noble, John Driscoll, Alfred Williams. Silvio Baldassare. and Frank Reider. The notable increase in pupil membership is clearly indicated by the en- rollment of over nine-hundred students in a building constructed for a capacity of six hundred. Despite the crowded conditions, regulations are upheld through the cooperation of the traffic sc|iiad. managed by assistant principal, Walter Ritenour. Scholastic attainment is a( liie ed from the teachings of well-trained instructors. After four fnrilful years ol training, pleasures, hopes, and successes, we Seniors sadiv leave this renowned iii tilution. Ptige Tivelre SCHOOL BOARD Cyrus A. Davis. Mrs, Eliahcth Yiink.r. Maurice R.

THE ROXIAN Page Thirteen BOOK TWO CLASSES GRADUATES OF 1939 OFFICERS President ' ice President Secretary Treasurer Jolin Petro Melva Werlinich Virginia Colantoni Raymona Lyons CLASS HISTORY T IKE a journey into a strange land of lakes and rivers, mountains and valleys, is the story of the lives of the seniors. For now the story takes one up the mountain of hope, now down into the valley of discouragement, then into a river of rushing and gushing flood waters, and hither onto a placid lake of deep blue waters. In 1953 the gales of the High School opened and the happy crowd rushed into freshman pastures. It was so strange here. Sometimes we grew lonesome and wanted to go back to the grade school land, but then we were encouraged by the fine y oung men and women on Senior Boulevard. Guided by our class president, Helen Cigoi; vice president, .lohn Fall: and secretary-treasurer, Maude Running; we seemed more and more at home. Several members of the class joined the football team. We were also very active in the journalistic field, club activities, and scholastic attainment. Our greatest disappointment was the cancellation of the Freshman Dance because of the rushing waters of the Ohio River. ' (if e .Sixiri ' n inc seasons CLASS HISTORY By tlie second year of our stay in hicK school land, we liad advanced up the ladder of success far enough to move into more modern and more expensive quarters. We picked out a location on Sophomore Avenue. Our class officers, consisting of Maude Running as president. Paul Wozniczak as secretary, and Viola Tomko as treasurer, planned an eventful program for us. Many of us were luded in the cast of the musical comedy. Tune In . The basketball and track offered us opportunity to display our talent. Many athletic stars acted on the football field. The Debate Club received several young orators. The year ' s activity was climaxed by the Sophomore Hop in May. In spite of our extra- curricular activities, we had a remarkable showing on the honor roll. After maintaining a year ' s location on Sophomore Avenue, we were given the opportunity to move to Junior Park. Here the outlook of life was most enticing. Many social activities engaged our time. In November, the ring committee selected our class rings. Carefully selecting Chester Zadrozny as president, Ray Anderson as vice president, Melva Werlinich as secretary, and John Fall as treasurer, we experienced an active year. Our many fine actors and actresses came through with flying colors in the performances of Lady Spitfire . The success of the operetta, The Spanish Grandee , was due, in part, to l lie cooperation of the Juniors. Much enjoyment was found at both of the Junior dances, one of which was sponsored with the assistance of the faculty. For the third year representatives of our class led the cheers at the basketball and football games in which many Juniors participated. We actively engaged in several interscholastic debates. Then came the big moment. A delegation waited upon the Juniors and asked us to move over to the Senior Castle in preparation for the coronation of gradua- tion. As young Juniors ever alert to make the most of opportunity, we went, trailing them to the Senior Castle. Then for many long months we trained in the best of court manners in order that we might in a high and mighty way ascend the throne on the day of coronation and graduation. Through the capable leader- ship of John Petro as president, Melva Werlinich as vice president, Ray Lyons as secretary, and Virginia Colantoni as treasurer, we experienced a busy year of I activities. Committees appointed by the president selected blue and yellow the class colors, and the yellow rose as the class flower. When duly whispers low thou must, the youth replies I can , was the chosen motto. The Seniors again produced another hit comedy with their Senior Class Play, Shooting High , The Senior Prom in June was the last gathering of this class that spent four eventfid years together. socia as THE ROXIAN FOUR YEARS OF AMBITION ADAMCIK.

THE CLASS OF 1940 Dear Juniors: Congratulations! You have just ( ompleted another successful chapter in the history of your class. You have given your able support and cooperation to all school activities and in that vay proved that you had good school spirit. Representatives of your class were active on the football gridiron and were especially prominent on the basketball floor. The football squad consisted of such students as Lester Etter. Jack Barrett. George Evans, and Robert Cleis. You can be proud of the fad that Joe Fryz. a junior, brought a great deal of honor to our High School by making the All W.P.I.A.L. Basketball Team and then by again making the All Tourna- ment Team at Waynesburg. 1 hree of your classmen were cheerleaders. Many other Junior men belonged to the hall squad, and in that way did their part to help keep order in the halls. Members of your class helped in the editing and publishing of the Ro.v Rochet. Others participated in the High School Band and Orchestra. Many did their part to make the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus outstanding activities of the school. Your students constituted a large part of the Tiiembership of the many clubs throughout the school. In the Hi-Y Club, you were represented by fifteen of your best boys. Your Junior Class Play called Wedding Spells was a riotious comedy and a great nnancial success. Your dance was one of the outstanding social events of the year. The large number of Juniors on the Honor Roll showed that your scholastic standing was high. This fact proves also, that you are a sincere, hard- working group of students, truly worthy of the dignified title of Seniors ' which you are about to receive. It is with great pride and satisfaction that we. the Seniors of lOlO, relinf|uisli the title to you, the Seniors of 1940 . May this, your last year, as students of McKees Rocks High School, be the most successful, the most productive, and the most remembered one of them all. The Graduating Class of 1939.

THE ROXIAN Page Forty one FRESHMEN GRASP SCHOOL ' S PRINCIPALS FRESHMAN CLASS President ----- Michael Fitcl Serrelary ----- Mike Novak Vice President - - - Virginia Corbelt Treasurer ----- Belty Corbctt DREi MY eyes and opened mouths are cliaracteristics used to describe every freshman on liis Rrst day of school, but the Freshmen who came to McKees Rocks High School on September 6, 1938, possessed intelligent facial expressions. From that very first day, they showed an eagerness to learn. This year s Freshman Class was the largest group of students ever to enter this high school. Their voices could be heard above all the others in the halls during the change of classes. However, as they gradually became accustomed to the building and to high school life, they became reserved young men and women. To all activities the Freshmen gave their sincere cooperation and support. i all the football and basketball games they showed as much spirit and en- thusiasm as did the upper classmen. The newcomers joined many organizations. Members of their classes were active in the Spanish, literary, and Latin Clubs, the Girls ' Chorus. Mixed Chorus, and the Roxettes. They also aided the publication of the school paper, the Rox Rocket. Many sweet (and sour) notes came from their instruments as they played in the School Orchestra and Band. As individual rooms, the Freshmen refused to be called slackers, and they distinguished themselves as leaders in selling tickets to support activities. Room 14, a freshman boys ' room, amazed the school by selling more tickets for the Junior Class Play than any other room in the school. Once again, the freshman boys in Room 14 came forth and showed that thev were true leaders by producing an intramural basketball team which defeated the other freshmen rooms. Some of the freshmen boys played for the high school preliminary basketball team and helped to make the season a success. ill an assembly program the freshmen boys from Room 1 displayed their talents as professional cheerleaders when they raised their mighty voices to cheer the basketball team on to victory. The freshmen rooms also organized a bowling league and formed bowling teams to compete among themselves. Not only were these young men and women outstanding in extra-curricidar activities, but they also ranked high scholastically. They were proud to be able to boast that they had the largest number of students on the Honor Roll. Miss Forner. Mr. Frazier, Miss Kessler, Miss Artuso. Mr. Kessler. and Mr. Colantoni were the faculty advisers to this group. Under their capable guidance, the Freshmen carefully made plans for their Spring Frolic . For this affair the school gym was gaily decorated in red and green crepe paper, and balloons of various colors were strewn about. It was a great success, and a good time was had by all who attended. I he Freshmen of the Class of 1942 are looking forward to three more success- ful years as students of McKees Rocks High School. Page Forty- (u ' O Row 1: M. Dclmonte, M. Bdvcr. G. Eisclc. D.

The success of the Yearbook was, in a large measure, due to the excellent guidance of Mr. Robert E. Frazier and Miss Mary A. Artuso. The start of the sales campaign was featured by an entertaining assembly program, arranged by John Petro, a staff member. The program consisted of a series of humorous sketches depicting the opinions of different people concerning the worthiness of a yearbook. It also attemjjted to point out the value of a year- book to its owner, not only at the present time, but also in tlie future. Approximately hve hundred and fifty students gave their support to this undertaking, knowing that the Roxian would repay them with many enjoyable hours. In years to come, the graduates of 1939 can hold their class reunions through the medium of the black and gold Yearbook; and. once again, many memorable hours can be spent in the company of old friends reliving happy high school davs. ROXIAN YEARBOOK STAFF V R.

ROX ROCKET To those wlio maintain lliat Experience is life ' s best teaclier . the Rox Rocket, McKees Rocks High ' s nationally known newspaper, is an outstanding example in which experience in practical work supplements students scholastic suDJects. Established on a democratic basis, administered by a committee of students, and operated on a sound financial basis, the Rocket teaches students to do by doing. Thus, its members are taught to realize that academic subjects are a means to an end. and that utilization of these subjects is necessary to make a success in any venture. Actual conditions show that typists improve their work when undei office conditions; that mechanical drawing students appreciate their subject more after working as an artist in the school paper: that commercial students gain a practical foundation in selling through the Rocket ' s circulation and business departments; that bookkeepers learn the necessity for careful and accurate work; and that English grades rise after writers begin to realize that a thorough knowledge of English will improve their articles. After five years of testing the c|ualilicalions of ihe Rocket, ils faculty advisor. Mr. Shannon, has shown that it is a valuable student organization. Many former members can now attribute their procuring positions to their work on the Rocket. Rocket graduates are good examples proving journalism is no longer a frill, but an actual necessitv.

ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | AND HOME ROOM SALESMEN N the second Hoor of the High School Building is a small office occupied by an organization called the McKees Rocks High School Activities Association. This organization had its beginning in 1056. under the leadership of Mr. Kiselicia. It is a central control office for all the funds of the school. It has a banking system by which the money from all the activities is deposited. Its members con- duct the business affairs of the school and pay the bills of each activity. They help each club organize a budget plan and also help them carry out this plan. They hie reports and cash receipts and have charge of other business revenue. They handle, also, the publicity of the various school activities, such as dances, games, and plays. The M.R.H.S.A.A. has ciuite a large staff under the leadership of Mr. Levy. His business managers consist of Joe Lanza. Julius Czujko, George Rudavvski. Robert O ' Rourke, Robert DeJohn, and Francis Kury. Each room throughout the building has two room salesmen. These students take care of the sale of tickets in their rooms. This organization offers business training to all who participate.

This organization works in the principal s office very silently and successfully. With Miss Werner, a coinmercial teacher, as their supervisor, the office girls are guided toward learning many common business practices: such as. filing, typing, and mimeographing. Miss Helen McCormiclc. also a graduate of our High School, is Mr. Arner ' s private secretary. This year she assumed many special duties which, in other years, were a part of the work of the general office force. A new organization of the commercial department, formed just this year, is known as the Secretarial Club. It is composed of Senior and Junior girls who act as secretaries to the various faculty members. It became the duty of these girls to type any material the teachers might need and to mimeograph units and guide sheets. Tliis organization has eliminated the necessity of there being so many office members, and it has become possible for a smaller force to devote its time to office records, absentee lists, and telephoning. For an organization so young, it has proved to be of invaluable aid to the teachers. SECRETARIAL CLUB Row 1: P. Smereslt, E. Schaffer. M, Sippel. A. Slaa . F. Zihk. Miss Werner. M, Blair. H. Vrusk.

THE ROXIAN Page Forty-nine HALL SQUAD T HE Hall Squad has attained for itself a unique position in tfie High School. It is composed of thirty-two members under the supervision of Mr. Ritenour. The duty of each member is to maintain order in the halls by regulating traffic. These boys have shown their capability in handling this position and have proved to be efficient at all times. Not all the students can be on the force. The student must make a neat appearance at all times and have a fair scholastic standing. While in the halls on duty, he must stand erect, not chew gum. and not familiarize himself with the other students. Prior to this time. Mr. Ritenour directed the Hall Boys, but this year two boys were chosen as captains. Martin Richardson, one of the captains, was placed in charge of the hall squad on the second floor, and Eugene Kurlz was placed in charge of the first floor. All of the members have received armbands which they must wear at all times while on dutv. They sponsor meetings throughout the year in which they discuss problems that may arise. Fiecause of their willingness to observe and improve their own system, the sc|uad has arranged excursions to other schools. c a H I President Vice President OFFICERS j(j|in I ' elro Secretary James Green Treasurer Chester Zadrozny Marly i icliardson UPHOEDING its previous record of being among the leading activities in the school, the Hi-Y has again come through with flying colors. With Creorge E. Brumfield and Dr. O. G. Uansa as faculty advisors and John Petro as president, it is little wonder that they can boast another year of successful events. When it comes to giving out bouquets, the capable sponsorship of Mr, F, Rope, of the local Y,M,C,A, branch, cannot be forgotten. The club launched its season by sending representatives to the annual con- ference of the Hi-Y clubs at Camp Kon-O-Kwee near Zelienople, and to the conference held at Bellevue. At Christmas time, they engaged in selling Christmas wreaths to raise funds. They can be credited with reorganizing the weekly tea dances. To top their other accomplishments, the Hi-Y presented an assembly play. The Missing Corpse, Terminating a round of successful undertakings, they held a Social Party at the Y,M,C.A, As formal recognition of their help in trying to inject into the minds of the students the four C ' s (clean speech, clean living, (lean scholarship and clean sportsmanship), each member is now a proud bearer of the eagerly sought for Hi-Y pin.

THE ROXIAN Page tifty tiro BAND nnHE McKees Rocks Higli School Band has distinguished itself this year ny its full, successful season under Mr. McCarter ' s capahle guidance. The number of activities it has participated in this year has been greater than that of many of the preceding years. The si.xty-one boys began the year at oiu three football games, adding color and dash to them with their brilliant new uniforms. Then they paid homage to Rudy Michalism by playing at his funeral. During basketball season, enthusiasm reached such a peak that they played at all the major games during the regular season, and then at our two big games at Pitt Stadium. Their presence at these two games was very inspiring. It was a big event for the boys when they marched for the Navy Veterans and subsequently gave a program on KQV. The band gained recognition by sending three boys; namely. Fred Del Monte. William Pillar, and Charles Bosley to the All-Western High School Band Festival at Connellsville. They represented the school very ably. Another high point in this years band record was the organization of the Junior Band, comprised of forty boys. The Junior Band together with the Senior Band played at a special assembly for the grade schools in April. S ORCHESTRA ly TR. ROBERT W. McCARTER taps the baton, raises his arms, and the music begins. I his is a familiar scene during orchestra practice and prepares the members for activities in public. This activity provides an outlet for the nuisical talent of our student body. Approximately forty members make up the High School Orchestra which con- sists of one flute, four clarinets, two trombones, two tympani, one bass drum, snare drum, bells, one tuba, six first violins, four second violins, two violas, two cellos, two alto horns, four trumpets, and a piano. This well-planned organization functions smoothly because of the hard work of its conductor, Mr. McCarter. Under his guidance the student musicians study and play the music of the masters. The orchestra was rather restricted this year because of the absence of an operetta. However, this did not keep them from performing admirably at their other functions. These included the Jcuiior and Senior Class Plays, and they also furnished music for the Christmas program. The entertained before the curtain rose and during intermission between acts. Their presence enlivened many assembly programs. They climaxed their season by playing at Baccalaureate and then finally at Commencement. Page Fifty-three SENIOR CLASS PLAY T E LL have them rolling in the aisles, said one Senior boy. And that s just what the Senior Class Play did to the audience at the three per- formances of Shooting High . The play was under the capable direction of Miss Magealson. and with the help of a good cast it provided a good evening ' s fun. Shooting High is a comedy about a slightly screwy family in Hollywood trying to crash the movies. Junie. a comely young girl, meets with no success at first, but Hank, her brother, who is always cooking up crazy schemes, forms a plan. He has met Professor Tittlebury. who is searching for a couple to go to the moon in a Rocket. Hank thinks that Junie and Joe. her brolher-in-law. are the right ones. A hundred thousand dollars is to be paid to the couple s relations, and Junie feels that this would solve many of the family s financial problems. However Jim. the Professor s nephew, complicates matters by falling in love with Junie. He does not want her to risk her life, but Hank has planned it so that the Rocket will fall several miles out in the ocean. 1 he plan works out. but with a different twist. The money is returned to the l ' rofessor, and Junie and Joe land mo ie (ontracts. C JUNIOR CLASS PLAY TT was theater time on May Avenue, December M and 0, Producer-Director, Miss Magealson and her able cast presented the Junior Class Play, Wedding Spells. Because of its action and comecK ' . the play won the acclaim ol the audience from the start. ' Wedding Spells is a play about a yoimg man named Steve who is recently married but who has accidently misplaced his uife. To make matters worse. Steve has forgotten her name and invites all his old girl friends to his home to see if he can find his wife among them. Steve enlists the aid of two friends. Jim and Bob. The search becomes more complicated when a girl named Billie day claims Steve as her husband, and Mrs. Pettingill, a society dowager, tries lo gel her clutches on Steve s friend. However, everything turns out for the best. Steve finds his wife. Mrs. Pellingill. finally, gets a husband, and Jim and Bob make up with iheir girl Iriends. Miss Magealson and her cast can feel sure thai ihe audience was well entertained. Such plays as Wedding Spells make audiences anticipate other presentations from the McKees Rocks f ligh School.

THE ROXIAN l age Fifty-six MIXED CHORUS OFFICERS President an C ( Serrelnrv-Treasurer rancrs nerrly T ESPITE the loss of over lialf the members of previous years, the mixed chorus has once again emerged as a fine musical organization in keeping up with standards of previous years. Through the excellent coaching of Miss Haser, the chorus was represented at the All-Western Pennsylvania Chorus at Dormont by Edwin Headly, William Maglieri. and Gus Mitchell. The ( horus participated in the Christmas Chapel Program. Many memorable songs of Stephen C. Fost er was presented to the chorus by the compliments of the University of F ittsburgh and the Foster Hall Staff. When the mixed chorus visited the Foster Memorial in IQ57. Caretaker Fletcher Hodges promised to send fifty copies of the songs by Will Earhart and Edward Birge. In April of this year, the chorus gratefully received these songs, which will bring them many entertaining moments. The results of the training ol this organization were seen at the Spring Con- cert presented at the High School, on May 5. I he chorus was heard in Come To The Fair , by Martin: l ittle Dance . by Luvass; ' Czecho-Slovakian Dance Song , and Romberg s. Will You Remember . A boy s cjuartette. consisting of Rex Daum. John Fall, Eugene Kurtz, and George Kobulnicky, was featured in Irving Berlin s, God Bless America . CL- COLLEGE CLUB Prpsrdent icp Prrsinnil Ol 1 Kl-.RS Ridiard l.iidrrty Srrrrtriry Barharji NViifjert I rrasurer William Stickel T liiuldeiis Jurkonski ly TAN high school students who wish to enter a higher institution of learning have little knowledge of college or college life. They have a hazy idea of the requirements necessary for entering college, and they know nothing about the demands which the college will make upon them. To inform students about college and its rec|uirements was the purpose Mr. Frazier had in mind when fie organized the College Club this year. Such a club as this has been needed in our school for some time, and Mr. Frazier and his College Club should be com- mended for this worthy enterprise. During the course of the year, the College Club had the opporttuiily to hear two speakers — Dr. Quick. Registrar of the University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Pierce, head of the Department of Physchology at Duc|uesne Univ ersity. Both men spoke of the credits necessary for entering a university. They stressed the fact that a student should establish good study habits while in high school. It was mentioned that students graduating from high school shoidd have some idea of the type of profession or work they would like to follow before entering a university. The College Club enjoyed these talks and gained some valuable information.

Formerly known as the Girl Reserves, the organization changed its name to Roxettes, this being more appropriate to the location of the school. Girls from all classes, from any course, and in any standing in their class are permitted to join this group. Mrs. Hattman, a member of the Girl Reserves when she attended this High School, is faculty advisor. Because of the increased member- ship this year, she was unable to hold the usual monthly meetings and carry out the plans made. Together with the Hi-Y Club, the Roxettes went to the Observatory last October. The trip to the Observatory included a lecture and still pictures which gave the students a clearer knowledge of the progress of astronomy. The students were permitted to look through one of the telescopes, but owing to a cloudy night, were unable to see some of the stars. At the Junior and Senior Class Plays and at Commencement, the Roxettes acted as usherettes. In the middle of May. the Roxettes held a banquet for their mothers. A picnic at South I- ark culminated the activities for this all girls ' club. CL . ' LITERARY CLUB OFFICERS President Vim President Jean Slalil Josephine Vukcevien ilirnrian - _ .

The Freshmen who first started the club are ihis year s Juniors. They have permitted certain underclassmen to join the club. Although it has been difficult to secure enough books for reading as a unit, this group has been able to make several trips to the Carnegie Library in West End. Miss Kessler. an English teacher, as faculty advisor, planned many activities for the club this year. J hey ha e been working on a newspaper which, if it proves successful, will be issued monthly. During National Book Week last November, the Literary Club provided interesting posters. As a social event, the group held a Valentine party and a theater party.

We. tlie members of the Debate Club, were very grateful for the opp ortunity to debate the question, ' Resolved: That the United States Should Establish an Alliance With Great Britain . After careful study of the proposition, we i hose sides and began to work on our speeches. A visit to Room 7. when the debaters assembled, displaying heated arguments and discussions, was evidence of the enthusiasiTi of our group. Further knowledge was obtained in witnessing the inter-scholastic debates at the University of Pittsburgh in December. Hien. in February, we presented our views at the Checkerboard Debate Tournament held at NIones.sen High School. Although we participated in fewer debates, we gained valuai)le experience in public speak- ing and the ability to argue. We held several successful tea dances to provide for transportation. The students danced to the popular hit tunes of their favorite dance orchestras, by phonograph recordings, of course. Refreshments, in the form of pop and candy made lay the members of the club, were sold at the dances. The Seniors are regretfully leaving this organization, but are confident its good reputation will be furthered by succeeding teams. Page Si.xiy-one EL CIRCULO CASTELLANO OFFICERS Presiclont - - - .

This year, el Circulo Espanol was again re- organized under the capable supervision of Miss Artuso. The club, although small in number, has proved to be very active. Meetings were held at frequent intervals throughout the year. At these meetings the members discussed plans for various activities among which was a Christmas party. Everyone who attended the party had an enjoyable time singing, eating, and exchanging gifts. Crossword puzzles were distributed at one of the meet ings, and both the lirst and second year students worked them out. Those who wished to correspond vith Spanish students in different parts of the world secured names, and many of them have enjoyed friendly correspondence since then. This gave them a chance to develop skill in writing the language. Then, later in the year, the members were invited by the French Club to attend a very interesting broadcast at Station WCAE in Pittsburgh. The success of the club was due to the spirit of cooperation bet veen Miss Artuso and the members, and it is hoped that the Spanish Club will continue to be just as successful in the vears to come.

In April we visited KDKA and WCAE. (They are broadcasting studios). Some of the members want to visit ihe Mellon Institute. 1 told you all about the Mellon Institute in my last letter. Before school closes, we may have a picnic or we may go on a hike. 1 hat s about all I can say about our French Club. In your next letter tell me all about yours. 1 m so glad that I reteived your name through the Cercle Francais and am able lo correspond with you. ' olrp (iniip ciniciicaine.

Edward Blazier ' T ' HIS year a new club appeared on the horizon at M( Kees Roclcs High School. For some time now. our school has been in need ol such an organization as the Art Club. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Blackball, this club has achieved considerable success. Those attractive posters seen around the S( hool are all the work of the energetic Art Club. These signs have helped many tic kel sales. They succeed in keeping the Junior and Senior Class plays before tiie eyes of the students. Clever posters also urge students to patronize the dances. The Art Club boosts the basketball team. During pep meetings, boys paraded up and down the auditorium with posters which injected hght and enthusiasm among the students. The work of the Art Club is striking and original. You will find few school organizations with such a worthy purpose as that of the Art Club. Mr. Blackball, with the aid of the officers of the club, has made this a thriving organization. n making posters, the student is (ailed upon to use his own imagination to produce some design which is original, and attractive, and interest- ing. We all wish continued success for the Art Club. C MATHEMATICS CLUB Presicleni Vice l rcsident OFFICERS William Sliwka Secretary Sam ( olliers I re.isurer W.,llrr (),„.., I, „k Irank DiCril .o IVTO. Mr. Wolfe is not punishing his mathematics students during the fourlh period, every other Wednesday. That is only a group of malheinatic alK minded Juniors and Seniors, who have organized to further their knowledge on the subject. Meetings are held bi-monthly. Membership is limited lo those students who rank high in mathematics and who are willing to cooperate and abide by the constitution drawn up by Sam Colliers. Betty Ross, and Paul Kuzmidi. Main practical problems are solved by this organization. The members plan lo isil the mathematics department of one of the Pittsburgh universities. At a meeting held in April, Dr. 1 . L. Dines, head of the Malhemalics De- partment at the Carnegie Institute of Technology presented an enlighlening lecture. His topic, Relation of High School Mathematics to Advanced Mathematics , re- vealed the minimum recjuirements for mathematics at Carnegie Tech and the distinction between algebra and geometry. Dr. Dines encouraged the students to make the most of their height in ceiling in math, as he called il, for mathematics is of great use in the business world of today and much enjoyment is lo be found in the working of practical problems. Page Sixty-five JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I HE Junior Cliamljer of Commerce is one of the active clubs of McKees Rocks Higli Scnool. It vas organized this year under llie competent supervision of Mr. Levy, our advisor. Tliis clufci has something to govern it wliich very fe v other organizations have, and that is a Constitution. It is so arranged so that member- ship is limited to those wlio rate fiigh scliolastically. Each year there are some members from tlie preceding year to carry on the work vhen school opens for the new semester in June. The president of our club is Bill Smith. The competent secretary is Dorothy Delay. The treasurer vho makes sure that all dues are paid is Pauline Brudler. Our Executive Committee consists of two Juniors. Bob O Rourke. and Margaret Dimperfield, and four Seniors, Genevieve Williams, Jane Dursi, Madeline Blair, and Florence Geller. The chief aim of the Jiuiior Chamber of Commerce is to develop an Employment Agency so that our Seniors will be better prepared for the future. Two speakers who appeared before the Junior Chamber of Commerce were Mr. Anderson and Mr. Farr. The least 1 can say about the Junior Chamber of Commerce is that everyone enjoys himself immensely. e THE GLEE CLUB OFFICERS President ------ Peggy Porat Secretary ----- Dorolliy Deley Treasurer ----- Madeline Blair V WHENEVER any big event takes place. Miss Haser ' s Glee Club. The Cecillians , can always be depended upon for a selection or two. Since many of the regulars were graduated. Miss Haser scouted around for talented girls who would work hard to make the Glee Club a worthy organization. So great was the desire of the girls to join this club, that Miss Haser was forced to limit the number to about thirty-five members. The girls worked hard and should be given credit for mastering several difficult selections. They should also be given credit for their cooperation in trying to take some of the routine dullness out of school life. The participation of the Glee Club in the May Concert helped it to be successful. The girls also took part in Chapel programs and displayed their talent during the National Education week. All except the Senior members sang at Baccalaureate Services. The Cecillians held a Christmas party and also a picnic at South Park. The Senior members received pins since they were the founders of the Glee Club. Their wish is that the underclassmen carry on the good vork, and that they may make the Glee Club worth vhile.

THE ROX AN Page Sixty-eight LIBRARIANS ' T ' HIS year the library lias again made delinile strides towards perfection under the capable sponsorship of Mr. George Rahn. To facilitate the carrying out of duties In the library, Mr. Rahn called for assistants at the beginning of the semester. Ruth De John, Helen Mitchell. Hazel Reynolds. Rosanna Musgrove. Marjorie Cobb. Pauline Smersk. Edward Inman. George Crouch, and Norman Arthurs applied and now fill these responsible positions. Mr. Rahn then devised a successful plan of operation to obtain the aid of the students in decreasing congestion in the library. The duties of his assistants are to stamp weekly and over-night books, to renew over-night and weekly books, and to clip articles from newspapers. In addition to this, they take care of books on reserve. Among their other duties they stand at the doors checking the books taken out of the library and take care of the desk. Each person gets an opportunity at these various positions. A noticeable result of the efforts put forth to interest the students in the library is the increased reading of all types of books. A vote of sincere appreciation is therefore justly due Mr. Rahn and his assistants. «L.-« ' CHEERLEADERS IVrO football game would be complete without well-organized cheers. No well- - ' - organized cheers would be possible without the able guidance of the cheer- leaders. This year ' s cheerleaders were under the direction of Mr. Kessler. former head cheerleader of McKees Rocks High School. They consisted of hve seniors- Betty Lychkoff. Maude Kuiming, Mary Elizabeth Beck, Vera Radoycis, and William Quillan: three juniors— Eleanor Sirden. Wallace Miller, and William Caramela: and two sophomores— Sylvia Roscoe. and Olga Radoycis. In all, there were three boys and seven girls. Head cheerleader this year was Betty Lychkoff. As usual, all dressed In the traditional blue and white. The girls, this year, intro- duced a new cheer known as the X ' arslty Yell. It ran as follows: With a V. with an A. with a R S I T Y With a V, with an A. with a R S I T Y Varsity, Varsity, RAH RAH RAH Varsity, Varsity, SIS BOOM BAH With a hey, nonny. nonny. and a RAH RAH R. H Beat When spirits were at low ebb. a few ords from the cheerleaders soon brought them soaring up again. Now let ' s tear the root off was the familiar cry of the cheerleaders. We never quite managed to tear it off. but I ' ll bet it ' s shaking yet.
