The school directors meet in the Board Room at the Shaw Avenue Building on the second Monday of each month, Committee meet- ings are held on the first Wednesday. The McKeesport School District is administered by a Board ot Directors con- sisting of nine members elected for six-year terms with three members chosen every two years. Newest members are Mr. William I. Cox and Dr. Clifford B. Bryce, who were elected in November, 1949. Dr. H. S. Arthur was elected at the same time for his seventh term. Two former directors having long rec- ords of service with the Board who did not seek re-election last year are Mrs. Elizabeth Newlin with Z4 years and Mr. T. D. McKee with 40 years. Dr. Leo R. Travis fleftl is the Secretary and Business Manager for the Board of Directors. His office, from which he conducts school business affairs, is in the Shaw Avenue Building. Slllltlll ltltllt l Ill SlIHlllllS DR, JAMES H. LAWSON lust as the Board oi-Directors places its business activities in the hands of the Sec- retary, so it delegates the educational activi- ties oi the school district to the Superinten- dent of Schools. Dr. Iames H. Lawson has been Superin- tendent oi Schools in McKeesport since 1935, a period of tenure which represents half of the thirty years he has been associated With the McKeesport schools. The superintendent is in charge of the curriculum which must be constantly revised in terms oi today's changing demands, and ot the teachers Who must interpret the new developments in the classroom. The direc- tion and integration ot the school's educa- tional aims require giving attention to end- less details. The superintendents day is filled with conferences, correspondence, visits, telephone calls, and meetings. The superintendent often meets informally with teachers and principals. Here Dr. Lawson speaks to Mr. Samuel Stewart and Mr. Prank Crall in the Shaw Avenue Building.

THIH HIGH With the close of this school year, Dr. McElroy completes eleven years of service as the principal of McKeesport High School. He has occupied an administrative position, however, for twenty-one years, being principal of George Washington School and assist- ant principal of the High School before assuming his present duties. DR. HOWARD C. MCELROY Prominent above the city, the mills, the river, Tech High has been a part of the McKeesport scene for over thirty years. Named McKeesport Technical High School, the building was ready for its' first students in September, 1916, replacing Shaw Avenue High School. The first class to grad- uate from the new school numbered l58 graduates. The original structure was extended by an addition in 1924 which consisted of the entire rear of the present building including Rooms 211 and 200. Even this addition had to be supplemented in the crowded 1930's by ten portables erected along the south side of the building, and used until the new Vocational School relieved the pressure in 1940. The largest class was in 1941 when 922 seniors donned caps and gowns to receive their diplomas. Plans for interviewing sophomores are discussed by Mr. Shelby Erwin, student counselor, and Miss Ger- trude Brown, girls' adviser, in the latter's third floor office. Assistance in solving school problems and advice concerning post-graduation aims are offered to students by these two counselors. MR. IOHN S. Mclfrzxrras Mr. McFeaters has been the assistant prin- cipal of the High School for eleven years, succeeding Dr. McElroy in that post in 1939. Early in this school year Mr. McFeaters was named Head of Instruction. MR. Fm-mx I. W EIGLE When Vocational School completes its first decade this Iune, Mr. Weigle will celebrate his te th n year as princi- pal, for he was the school's first admin- istrative head. This year 517 tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students were under the guidance of the prin- cipal.

BERT JOHNSON 'Vos-ufv mnasium, In the last decade hundreds of students have enjoyed offer: Classrooms, shops, laboratories, gy the many facilities which Vocational School has to auditorium, practice field, and the track oval. One of the most complete institutions of its type, McKeesport's Vocational High School successfully supplies the needs of its students and of the community. For the students the school provides a learning situation especially tailored for boys who find pleasure in working with tools and machines. By supplementing regu- lar classroom studies with the first-hand ex- perience of the shop, the school gives the student a mastery of specific skills that are useful not only in job-seeking but also in developing creative talent. For the community the school supplies graduates Who have training in occupation- al fields that are in demand by local indust- ries. Possessed with the confidence of per- sonal ability, such graduates make cheerful and productive citizens. Vocational's immense gymnasium is kept busy with school activities from basketball games to socials like the Sadie Hawkins' Dance at the left.

Teachers serve as an essential link between the pupil and his mastery of sub- ject material. In the candid photographs which accompany the faculty portraits on these pages, this role ot the teacher is dramatized. Reciting lessons before fellow classmates and instructors gives the pupil an oppor- tunity to test his knowledge while he gains poise in speaking to groups. An alternative to such formal presentation is the group dis- cussion where the teacher creates a casual atmosphere to invite the tree expression ot everyone's ideas. Laboratories, sewing classes, shops, and similar workshop sessions not only provide direct Contact with learning, but also knit closer teacher-pupil relations. Law, and Salesmanship: Benjamin B.

The classes--senior, junior, sophomore, freshmen-are brothers and sisters with individual rivalries and problems, but with an instinctive kinship that creates a sense of belonging. This unifying sense, their family patriotism, We usually call school spirit. The junior at Tech High is a substantial part of the family circle. He joins, of course. with the others in cheering a team on to vic- tory, in electing his representatives to Student Council, in meeting his chums at social events. But while he is more than ever a part of his school world, he is aware of a fresh attitude toward it. Many of his studies, like geometry. bookkeeping, and dressmaking, are newg and he is permitted to occupy increasingly more significant positions in school activities and organizations. Novelty and responsibility combine with purposefulness and accomplishment to make this school year at once more exciting and rewarding. J U Ki?

Well-adjusted to his schedule of alternating Weeks in shop and classroom, he understands how valuable the Vocational Industrial Curriculum is in teaching skills to pupils who are preparing for work in industry. The courses, from which the junior has chosen one for specialization, include: draft- ing, electricity-motors, electricity--radio, sheet metal, machine shop, woodwork, and patternmaking, all of which are begun in tenth grade, and automobile mechanics and commercial art, started in eleventh grade. By studying all related fields, each course offers opportunity for wide experi- ence: electricity--radio, for example, in- cludes training in refrigeration, public ad- dress systems, house Wiring, radio, electric appliance repairing, code practice, tele- vision, and electronics. 3UNlQ X 3 Mr. Michael Hritz's shop mathematics course gives juniors Robert Roslund and Lou Wunderly an in- tensive review of fractions which will aid them in solving problems in their shopwork. is Robert Reese and Iames Duffy are intent on Mr. Roy McMunn's demon- stration of the electrolysis of water.

Qi, Like most youngsters, the sophomore is keenly aware of being part of a family group. Although he has for years eagerly anticipated the pleasure and pride ot being a student at Tech High, he is at first over- awed by the great numbers of classrooms and fellow students. Surprisingly soon, however, he feels at home, and begins to enjoy his classes in biology, shorthand, and advanced algebra. He is quick, too, in realizing that his own organizations-Hi-Y, Y-Teens, and the junior varsities in football and basketball-are preparing him for the fuller participation in school affairs that will soon be his.

Under the coaching of Harold Weigle, Charles Schaeffer, and the new assistant Ralph Sazio, the team paraded through a ten-game schedule untied and undefeated, the third McKeesport outfit to achieve this feat, and the second to reach the champion- ship finals. Although packed stadiums greeted the Tiger efforts at home and away with audi- ences often exceeding lU,0UU, the outstanding crowd was in the WPIAL Class AA charn- pionship game with New Castle on Novem- ber 26 at Pitt Stadium when 17,731 specta- FIRST ROW: Ronald Corbin, Lou Wunderly, Steve Evanavich, George Stipetic, George Mancz, Dick Sto- ver, Don Rollin, Bill Halle, Gilbert Burton, Dwight Dunn, lay Dunlay.

'I'he Tigers played a tight first half coming out ahead 7-0, but in the second section, three disastrous penalties helped the Hurricanes score the touchdown and the safety that made the tally 8-7. And so the crown slipped away. The season was unsurpassed for real thrills, the Duquesne game alone offering enough when a last minute score allowed MHS to triumph, 13-7, Ieanette's powerhouse provided the most spirited trial of the sea- son: the Tigers trailed 13-12, one minute and 20 seconds from the final gun and 86 yards from the goal line. In a miraculous three- play scoring drive, featuring a pass from Paterra to Kobulnicky, topped by a ten-yard scoring run by Thompson, McKeesport breathlessly stayed in the section race.

L1NnQU1s'r Miss Lindquist retired at the close of the 1948-49 school year after iifty-one years in the teaching pro- fession. Since 1935 she had con- ducted Civics and Pennsylvania His- tory classes at George Washington. Miss Lindquist first taught in Mifflin Township in 1898, moving to the McKeesport grade schools in 1903. During the 1919-1920 term she taught a Continuation class for pupils who worked and attended school only part-time. RHIREME 1 IRA I. BEHKEMA After thirty years as a teacher in McKeesport High School, Mr. Ber- kema retired last summer. Beginning his teaching career in 1910, he taught successively in Belleville, Sheldon, and Pekin, Illinois, and in Muskogee, Oklahoma, before com- ing to McKeesport in the fall of 1919. Mr. Berkema was Head of the Eng- lish department here, and for twen- ty-nine years was the adviser ior this publication. -ff an , ,, .2 1 3111 Memoriam ,..-fi rr' MARLIN ROSS Miss Ross died on December 13, 1949, after an extended illness. After teaching for one year in Ligonier, two years in Clairton, and one year in Puerto Rica, she joined the McKeesport system in 1926. Miss Ross taught Latin at the George Washington Building. In the death of Marlin Ross the Mcliees- port Education Association has lost a vivid and forthright personality, She possessed a zest for living and boundless enthusiasms. She delighted in her home, her flowers, and her friends. Music, nature, and travel were to her a source ot great joy and relaxation. Her interests were unlimited, for her agile mind ranged from the broad aspects of world politics and economics to the speci- tic and ever fascinating problems of the individual. Her picturesque vocabulary transmitted her keen perceptions and her joie de vivre to those about her. For many years she gave unselfishly of her time and talents to the solving of the problems of teachers and pupils alike. She was fearless in expressing her opinions, and when the occasion arose, she was willing to use her energies where they were most needed. We will long remember Marlin Ross for her integrity, her wide sympathies, and her scintillating personality. This tribute was written ior the McKees- port Education Association by Miss Tobin. Miss Gorzo, Miss Morlock, and Miss Potthoif. ISRAIIIIATIU School's last event endows a senior with his favorite memory. Graduation, which he has long anticipated, impresses him more than he thought possible. Sitting with hundreds of his classmates, the senior experiences a growing awe as he real- izes that an era in his life is minutes away from conclusion. Those final minutes he lives intensely, so that years later when other remembrances of school life begin to fade, commencement day remains'an enduring memory. Commencement - Iune, 1949.
