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
