LIBRARIANS Who is it that can dust, lind the correct refer- ence books, put them back in place and find them again? To whom do bewildered students turn for advice on how to find illusive material to make various reports? Why to the librarians! Theirs is the job of aiding all who came to the library for help. They enjoy their position and love to make everyone keep still. That is, they get everyone quiet except the lovely freshman and mighty sen- iors and a few in-betweens who don't seem to understand English. These librarians are not per- fect themselves for they are often accused of taking books belonging to all classes out of the library at any time they please. But when a meek freshman asks for a senior book or a sage senior asks for a freshman book they are greeted with NO! in capi- tal letters. Still, if it weren't for the librarians, the whole high schoolj well, almost the whole high schoolj would be at a loss as to where to find ref- erence material. For the librarians really know their business, and, on the whole, they have done a good job of keeping that meetin'-place-during- school-hours in order. n-.-.-q--- Mathematical members of Math Club- oliicers. Safety First. Yea! Team! Rah! Rah! Rah! Senior librarians. -37- ........

MATHEMATICS The square root of x is equal to the. .the sides of an isoscles triangle are. .four bushels of wheat at. . and so it goes in the various classrooms of the high school. You guessed it! It's the followers of Euclid and other mathematicians at work under the patient supervision of Mr. Snyder, our globe- trotter. In fact some of these students are so in- terested in mathematics that they have formed a Math Club. Only the outstanding math students belong to this organization and the aim of the club is to broaden their interest in mathematics. The said club members don't often meet but when they do they return with the most profound expres- sions on their mathematically proportioned for isn't that possible?j faces. Gee--it must be great to be mathematically minded! SAFETY PATROL Stop! All right, go ahead. How often we have heard these words from those boys displaying their shiny badges and white belts. Let's investi- gate some of the people and activities of this or- ganization. The Safety Patrol is a nation wide hook up. Every year boys from all over our vast country go to the Annual Safety Patrol Jamboree at Washing- ton, D. C. Here the boys are repaid for their work throughout the year bv having the high time of their lives. They have a big dress parade through the main streets of Washington. Guides show them through the Capitol, Senate, House, and Su- preme Court Buildings. When they come home they can really tell you what makes our govern- ment tick. Safety Patrols composed of girls also attend this Jamboree. President, Ray Casteel, will tell you that there are some sweet ones from South Carolina with the you all accent and everything. Oh, to be a Safety Patrolman! Do you know who the faculty advisor of our Safety Patrol is? Right you are. It is none other than Mr. Stuempfle. The safety first boys chose as their officers Ray Casteel, president, Charles Landis, vice-president, Tom Shipley, secretary- treasurer. Ray Casteel is the Senior Captain of the squad while 'I' om Shipley and Clarence Smith are Captains. CHEERLEADERS The locomotive-and yell M e y e r s d a l e M e y e r s d a 1 e M e y e r s d a l e Meyersdale The most famous quotation from the lives of that brilliant but noisy septet-the cheerleaders. They certainly deserve three cheers and a slap on the back for the swell work done by them this year. Business was slow at the beginning of football season, but by the time the Somerset game arrived they were working on shifts. Basketball, likewise, started by needing only two cheerleaders-but the tempo increased till all seven were holding down steady jobs. By the way, if you'll notice, that famous fight-but Hx-it-up-quick couple even use cheerleading as a cause for the fireworks at times. Then there is Georgia, who is probably still feeling the effects of her strenuous dancing lessons during All-Western Orchestra. Betty Carouse represents the rug-cutters from the Dipp. Eleanor can demonstrate her personality and wit any time of the day fthe night too, for all we knowj. Helen while an excellent cheerleader, di- vides her attention between her job and a certain definite section of the team fyou guess which gets the larger half.j And last, but most assuredly not least, is the captain, Bert. Here is one place where he puts to good use his excess wind. But, all in all, they're not such a bad sort--that is, if you like that kind-and we do! -361

GRIDIRQN MEMORIES Coacb ....... Paul R. Abele Captain. . .Charles Bowman Manager ....... jack Butler M. H. S.-6 .... Alumni-7 .... Bands blared, the crowd cheered! fwho said anything about a crowd at this game, a mere handful, I'd sayj First game jitters and a green team marked the first defeat for M. H. S. We scored early in the first quarter and held the lead till the last minute when the old grads went to the air for a touchdown. Rumgay passed to Clark who scored for M. H. S. M. H. S.-0 .... Lewistown-26 .... Well, we had a cheering section at this game, anyway, but we weren't proud of then. Guess who? ? Although outweighed, the Red Raiders, gave Lewistown a touch of the old fight. M. H. S.-27 .... Bolivar-0 .... Are we good? Well, I guess! ! A touchdown in every quarter. Beal featured the attack. fAsk Arlene.j M. H. S.-0 .... Shade Township-12 .... Sob! Sob! Pst! Pst! Don't tell anybody, but this was really written by a sob sister. fAnonymousj You'd sob, too, if you had lost a crack at the coun- ty championship simply by a bound of the ball from the 13 to 53 yard line. With a patched up team, the Red Raiders did a good job of it. M. H. S.-14 .... Confluence-0 .... And hence we have the latest style in football pants! ! You should have our team streak down the field in the snazzy new football pants. Red, and silk, too! M. H. S.-15 .... Huntingdon-21 .... It was a hard fight, mom. We didn't win it! The Hun- tingdon eleven out-fought our team in every quarter. The first touchdown was scored by Stafford. In the last quarter Beal intercepted a pass for the final touchdown. M. H. S.-0 .... Boswell-0 .... Achoo! Achoo! No, we don't have colds, it's the dust. Playing at the Dust Bowl at Boswell, M. H. S. held the favored Boswell to a 0-0 deadlock for the third consecutive year. fAhem!j The gang started by intercepting passes on the goal line and running them back to the infield. M. H. S.-6 .... West Newton-0 .... You Try Somebody Newi' fthey didj. This was the first game with West Newton, and what's more, they want to play again next year. M. H. S. met its equal but showed up well in the tight pinches. M. H. S.-6 .... Fort Hill-28 .... Ah! Revenge is sweet! and Fort Hill got its revenge for the 13-0 set-back last year. Heavy snowfall made it almost impossible to play under the lights. Of course, in all these games, Chin Bowman did his darndest along the line of trying to reason with the referee. M. H. S.--12 .... Somerset-6 .... The band blew, pivoted, and wheeled. Spectators booed, cheered, hissed, and cheered. Some of them even kissed, fdidn't they Park?j We had to win this game and did by gummy! With the nifty job of blocking done by Miller, we couldn't have lost. Again I say- It still takes eleven men to make a team. QAsk Coach Abele-even the waterboys are a necessity., -53-
