Hegner who has given her services whole-heartedly as sponsor and adviser. ebicat-Ion ELIZABETH A. HEC-N ER Adviser Repneaentatiuc Gt SPEECH: Since it has been said that 9542, of one's time is devoted to thinking and speaking, it behooves each one to learn the most effective way to improve his thinking, his oral language, and his visible action. However, many Americans neglect this part of their education. The aim of any speech class is to relate the pupil's vocal expression to his every-day needs. One is judged daily by his voice, whether he realizes it or not. Because of the extreme importance of speech in normal living situations, an opportunity is given to learn how to make announcements, introductions, presentation and acceptance talks, descriptions, and explanations. lt is understood that thinking precedes speech. Therefore, topics are given to encourage logical, well-balanced thought. Also related to speech is facial and bodily ex- pression. By means of pantomimes and short readings, the pupils are taught how to make a speech more alive and interesting through complete body control. Other topics which the students in public-speaking will remember are: poetry and monologues given with expression, radio programs, oral book reports, declama- tions, interviews, oral reading for emphasis, inflection, tone quality, autobiographies, and the reading and writ- ing of plays. LEISURE: The library functions mainly as an agent for leisure- time reading. The students are privileged to browse through the books and magazines, reading what appeals to them and discarding that which does not. Directed reading is done through the English classes, but it is in- teresting to observe what the students read when free from pressure. They tend to read mostly current-events magazines with LIFE and TlME leading the list. A cer- tain group always heads for the POPULAR SCIENCE and POPULAR MECHANICS which seem to come only too seldom to suit these avid young readers. The de- mand for popular modern novels is far above the Senior High School Library's supply, and some must wait weeks -even months-for the opportunity to read the book of their choice. lt is interesting to note how much more use is made of the library by the sophomores who were initiated into the world of books in the new Junior High School Library, and how they far outrank the other class- es in their ability and desire to read. The library gives to the students an opportunity to enlarge their knowledge of the world and world events, and it is gratifying to know that they are making the most of the opportunity. SCIENCE: As the war progresses, its influence is felt more and more throughout our school. This influence is reflected greatly in our science department which has recognized its roll in the country's war effort. Never before has a war depended so much upon science, and never before has so much responsibility been placed on the shoulders of the instructors who constitute this department-Miss Malloy, Mr. Blistan, and Mr. Glass. Under these capable instructors, those vitally im- portant scientific subjects are being put across to the students who will become the officers and men of our armies that will lead us to final victory. ovmi O 0 ' r N Good mg ' . - ll Things - eautiful.

In The Years To Come All aboard! All aboard! The Class of '44 Special leaving on Track 9 for the tenth annual reunion of the Class of l944. The train is quite filled, except for those whom we have to pick up between here and Monaca. Let's mosey through the train to see who there is to see. Now, who is that? Oh, yes, that's Josephine Riddei. Jo is an excellent writer of short stories. Beside her is Betty Yanik, one of the highest paid private secre- taries in the country. They are talking to Eve- lyn Primo, buyer from Gimbels Department Store, and Grace Fox, model in one of those swanky Fifth Avenue shops. Across the aisle Glenn Wilson, famous band leader, is talking to Ray Hild, his saxophone player, about one of their musical arrangements lwe thinki. Just as we were getting on the train, we noticed that June Anderson, Navy nurse, and Ella An- derson, trained nurse, were talking to George Forrest, the high-pressure salesman. Now, they are watching two Merchant Marines-Captain Donald Stakic and his first mate, Sanford Busang, deep in conversation. We are wonder- ing what they are talking about! Sitting in front of them is Dale Watkins, the real estate salesman, who is bound and determined to sell Sidney Gibson, the sports reporter, the Brook- lyn Bridge. Across the aisle is Anthony Taor- mina, who now owns a chain of fruit stores, and, in the same seat, is Helen Bobish-fash- ion designer with Saks. The train is slowing up now, so we take this opportunity to talk with Violet Fauser who won the Pulitzer prize in journalism last year. Well, look who just got on. lf it isn't the Mayor of Big Town himself, none other than Gerald Laughlin, the shrewdest politician who ever lost an election. With him are his staff and crew of high-paid stenographers including Henry Trella, chief adviser and financial man- ager, Doris Smith and Celia Vancovish, his sec- retaries. Alma Greiner and Virginia Boris, of the Quaker City, also got on at the last stop. We are informed Alma is a librarian, and Vir- ginia is a receptionist. Let's walk along through some of the other coaches to see who else is here. Ahhh! this is the diner. Over at the first table are those businessmen, Albert Krall and Walter Everly, both efficiency experts. With them are Rita Gribben, popular Broadway actress with Edwin Herman, her press agent, and Donald Mandish -the male lead who keeps everyone laughing. The next table is reserved by the engineers. They seem to be discussing a big problem as can be surmised by the way that William Mc- Cullough, chemical engineer, is throwing his hands around. Charles Johnston, an electrical engineer, disagrees, however, Robert Matascik and John Weigel, aeronautical engineers, and Lewis Fredricks, consulting engineer, seem to lean to McCullough. Nearby, the nurses are enjoying themselves greatly, as they listen to Betty Schupay tell about her wealthy patients. Let's see if we can remember them. Why sure, they are Eleanor Martincek, Eunice Schachern, and Gladith Mateer. We find there, at a table for two, those great athletes, James Hill, boxer, and Joseph Korak, a professional baseball player, speaking to them is Robert Bell, a pro-football player. Just leaving the diner are June Kallberg, who works for the government, and Gloria Mae Kugel, who runs a large dairy farm. We leave the diner to continue our train visits. Oops! ex- cuse us, why it's little Anna Mae Ballard, the airline hostess. We surely are happy to greet her. Ah! ha! This is the air-conditioned chair car, and there, seeking inspiration, is Wilhel- mina Blasche, who recently published a volume of her own poems, and with her is Calvin Barto, her publisher, Sitting near by are those two beautiful models-Rose Ann Jaros and Cecelia Konevich, who appear in many popular adver- tisements. With them are lmagene McCowin and Doris Sickles, now starring in HoIlywoocl's best, talking with Edward Johnson, a race-car driver, and Fred Vogt, an illustrator for one of the men's fashion magazines. Opposite them, Mary Lou Graeser, owner of the Graeser Music Store, is asking the porter how far it is from Monaca, and John Tonsetic, a C.P.A., is laughing at her impatience to get back to the old home town. Nearby is a little card game in session. Richard Shafer, owner of a group of drug stores, and Pete Castronovo, -25... publisher of a large metropolitan newspaper, are standing Walter Poliak, the national skeet- shooting champ. The latter seems to be win- ning through the help of Robert Beharka, Hol- lywood film idol. Over at the magazine rack, Wanita Bauer, New York librarian, is explain- ing one of the book reviews to Joanne Gal- lagher, high school principal, and Betsy Her- chenroether, a grade school teacher. Mary Louise Mecklem and Lois Knopp are leafing through another magazine. Pete runs a nurs- ery school, and Lois designs women's clothes. Sitting in front of them is Anna Heckman, concert pianist, working out a difficult score, while Lenora Huffmyer, stenographer, leans over her shoulder and asks the why of all the little black dots. Anni Salberg, fashion expert of Paris and Rochester, is playing a fast game of dominoes with John Snyder, the transport pilot, as Lloyd Daugherty, auto expert, remarks that galloping dominoes are much more fun to play. The train is stopping again, and the first ones to get on this time are Betty Jane Figley and Ida Massey, who own their own beauty shop. Olga Matko is their hair stylist. Here comes Anna Martinkovich bouncing up the aisle, taking reservations for the reunion to be held at her inn. Eleanor McCandless, her sec- retary, is right behind her with the records. All aboard again-here comes Anna Lewarchik, employed at Donahoes, on the run as usual. Let's go back to the observation platform to get a little fresh air. What a happy thought, for we see so many familiar faces. Over there is Andrew Lopota, the Army pilot, and across from him is John Mattica, the famous criminal lawyer. These doors are hard to open. Ah! thanks, Earl. That's Earl Brummitt, swing drummer in Benny Goodman's band. As we pass Catherine Himes, the cooking expert, we hear her questioning the porter as to whether they serve real cream in the coffee. There cer- tainly is a strong wind back here on the obser- vation platform, but Ruth Skvolka and Dorothy Revay don't seem to mind. Ruth is a star re- porter on the Chicago Morning News, and Dot is society editor on the sarne sheet. lt's too drafty out here for us, let's go in to see Mary Yambresic who is private secretary to Fred Lindemann, owner of the Stringy Wingy Spaghetti Company. The last coach is almost over-crowded - there are Dorothy Williams and Anna Marie Shepard who work in a New York bank. A little farther are Betty Wonert and Angeline Lucci who own a swanky Park Avenue pet shop. Jean Farinacci, promoter of a summer camp, is com- ing over to talk with Anna Battaglia, stenogra- pher in a casting office, and Catherine Anto- line, proprietor of the Kate Candy Shop. Near the front of the car, Dorothy Ciccozzi and Grace Slater are going over some recent press clippings. Dot has become a dancer, and Grace is one of the golden voices of radio fame. Now, whom do we see but the three suc- cessful business women-Ellenora Zachodni, Veronica Wywrot, and Emilie Daniel, teachers in their own business colleges. Well, as we glance out the window, the fa- miliar scenes which greet us indicate that we are nearing Monaca, the home of our own Alma Mater. Everyone else seems to notice it too, for soon there is hustling and excitement everywhere. What a rush! Just like old times. George Rowse, in an Army uniform, is assist- ing Grace Folland, leader of an all-girl band, to get her suitcase down. Jean Troy, receptionist, can't find her hat, because Frances Trella, garden expert, is sitting on it. John Kovach, professional photographer, is helping his secre- tary, Olivemae Sergeant, with her coat. Wait- ing their turn to go out of the door are Jean Strausser, food demonstrator at General Mills, and Marguerite Locke, chief telephone oper- ator in Pittsburgh. After counting heads, we find that there is a one hundred per cent attendance at the tenth annual reunion of the Class of '44. All these famous people, once members of this class, are casting off their robes of success, and once more are the happy seniors of ten years ago, swarming to their favorite haunts with their old friends. We close this make-believe prophecy with a secret wish in our hearts that in the years to come such a reunion will be realized. Saniona f,Dnaw clflean o 'lflaomlp andl Cincumatancd' On September 7, we started for the last lap of our high school career. We had come through the first three furlongs with flying colors, and it was our ambition to win the race as true Monacans. Those chosen to lead us in the race were: President , i.... .... C- lenn Wilson Vice President , . . ..,. Rose Ann Jaros Secretary ...... ..... B etty Schupay Treasurer ..........,... Eleanor Martincek Without the faithful coaching and training of Miss Hegner, our sponsor, we would have been far behind at the finish line. This year's Senior Class was noted for its individuality, its excellent constitution adopted in the freshman year, its high scholastic standing, and its IOOVO support of every school affair. Our entire senior year was darkened by the departure of some of our classmates for service in the armed forces. We really miss them in the halls and classes, but we are intensely proud of the job they are doing. Along with other non-essentials, we sacrificed some of our activities and jumped head first into doing all we could to promote the War Effort. Our senior boys came through, when they began working part-time in the mills. The girls, not to be outdone, also worked part-time, chiefly clerking. The senior boys and girls knew sales technique, when it came to selling war bonds and stamps. Not only did they prove their ability as sales experts, but they had a good time promoting our country's cause. When we ordered our invitations and name cards, we felt that the end of our race was near. November l9 came next on our calendar of events with the presentation of our Senior Play, Mrs. Miniver, by an excellent, well-chosen cast. Another senior-year accent was the holding of the Junior-Senior Prom. It was a gala affair and everyone had a grand time. Our Baccalaureate exercises were held on May 24. As we were assem- bled in cap and gown in the auditorium, the sudden awakening that the race of Class of '44 was reaching its final lap, left a note of sadness in our hearts. May 24 was our most memorable day. With unseen tears and humble pride in our hearts, we marched down the aisle of the auditorium to the strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' When we received our diplomas, we became gopscilous that now we were alumni of our Alma Mater-the Monaca High c oo.

F. . . . onwandl Euan Old Father Time has prophesied that the in-coming class of seniors will be the peppiest and most spirited students to be graduated from the Monaca High School. We can well foresee that prophecy, when we present a few of our gay, light-hearted juniors. Dorothy Krebs, our class president, hopes to become a famous radio singer. She is an ad- mirer of Deanna Durbin, her favorite actress. She chooses as her best subjects, French and Plane Geometry. Pat Hill, one of our junior basketball stars, is ambitious to become a basketball coach in the future. Bookkeeping and U. S. History are the subjects which he prefers. Colleen Wilson, the most studious girl, whom we all admire, wishes to become a grand opera singer. Among her subjects, Shorthand and Typewriting are her favorite ones. Dale Laughner, our versatile junior, takes part in all activities and chooses law as his life's vocation. First Row: ll. 4xlk'X1lllllL'!'. Nl. Rzilisli, Xl. lliiclilcr. .X. Klcl- cliiiii'i'v. ll.

Realizing that we needed a Junior Class Fund, we engaged in the treasury projects of a Peanut Brittle Sale, at the time of goblins, witches, and scare-crows--Hallowe'en, Valen- tine Candy Sale, and our Class Play. Through the years, the juniors have always given a farewell party for the seniors in the form of a Junior-Senior Prom. The memories of this year's beautiful occasion will ever be cherished and ever live long in the minds of those who shared in these festivities. During the year, we were conscious of the closer friendship ties existing among the two classes, and this spirit of good fellowship prevailed during that memorable evening. Well, Juniors, we should not let Old Father Time down! His prophecy must come true. Monaca High must be proud of the Class of'45. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President . . . ,.....

Looking in our crystal ball, we find the sophomores entering Monaca High School ready for the beginning of the last stretch. Under the guid- ing hand of Miss Milliron and with a little help from our upperclassmen, the juniors and seniors, we settled down for the year of l943 and I944. The sophomores were soon established in the various activities through- out the school. The members chosen for the student council were Marian Mangerelli and Bob Sickles. The two new cheerleaders were Pat Love and Ceorgine Cook. The sophomores were also well represented in the drum majorettes by Jean Troy and Dorris Garrity. The boys did well, too. We had several lettermen in football, and we were well represented on the basketball floor. Our first important item of business was the selection of a class ring. The selection was made by a ring committee. We hope our future years in high school will prove as bright and suc- cessful as our sophomore year. . . ivan. R. i -' r . xi.. ,. ul:n'. Il.

Wood This year marks the second year for the Junior High School Orchestra and Band. Each group has taken a prominent part in Junior High activities. The sec- ond Junior High Concert was given, and it proved to be a marked improvement over the memorable one of the preced- ing year. Mr. Wood has organized Tonette and Instrumental class- es for sixth graders. He has al- so added a new Junior High music group that is very popu- lar with both players and stu- dent body-the Dance Orches- tra. The Music Department has been unusually active this year. The High School Band made the trips to both the Beaver and Beaver Falls football games, in addition to playing for the home games. The band put on a fine performance at the War Bond Drive Show. The feature of its maneuvers was a huge cannon which fired the bass horn as the final part of the show. For the Army-Navy E Awards at the Phoenix Class Company and the St. Joseph Lead Company, the Monaca Band was asked to play. At both of these performances, re- cordings were made, and we had a chance to hear how we played. The results were gratify- ing. The High School Orchestra, Mixed Chorus, and the Band presented a Winter Concert, De- cember 9, that surpassed any before given. Features on this program were the popular tunes by the orchestra and chorus, the Christ- mas scene was a part of the chorus program, the Ragtime Wedding and Stormy Weather, xgfithi lighting effects, were presented by the an . As a reward for promoting the concert, the members of the three groups were given a dinner-dance in January. A. Equizi, D. Gorrity, C. Konevich, J. Troy, A. M. Ballard .. 35 ..

Exercises in refrain, ontiphonol, group, and unison work were practiced. At the first meeting the new members were initiat- ed. Each member's complexion was enhanced by plenty of make-up and odd designs. Each talked to an imagin- ary person. Some of the boys would have made good- looking girls if they had been properly attired. Later the Dramatic Club listened to poems on the victrola, for ex- ample, Boots and The Congo. Songs, dancing, games, and plenty of food made the Christmas party enioyable. For the band concert, five members participated in a comedy sketch entitled Ragtime Wedding. The assembly program included readings, poems, dialogues, short sketches, and choral speaking. At least two-thirds of the members took part. The purpose of the organization is to have as many persons as possible doing some selection in the field of dramatics. Black-outs, short comedies, monologues, pantomimes, and dramatic selections provided practice and entertainment. Then, too, the chorus was a source of enjoyment for those who preferred to do group work. The members also found the reading of three-oct plays and the giving of excerpts from them quite an in- teresting study. Dramatizing scenes from recent movies made an enthusiastic meeting. One program consisted of learning the different kinds of make-up and how to apply make-up for a few types of characters. For o final project, each was to make a stage set for the play he read or a movie he had seen. A contest was held to choose the most unusual set. lf the members gained some new ideas concerning the field and scope of dramatics, if they learned to ex- press themselves better in giving dramatic selections, if they received a greater appreciation of what it takes to do drama work, or produce a play, then the year was worthwhile for this organization, Clllfe UQ:-:adl 'The Uieat First Row: M.

As the membership of the club was at a low ebb, one of the first problems to face us was the election of new mem- bers. The new members would be so numerous as to out flank the old members, so, while it was still possi- ble for us to hold the reins, we planned a grand in- itiation for them. This was held at Embree's farm on the l8th of September. The events included a snipe hunt, the experience of eating worms, and the classic sport of rolling eggs across a field with their noses. Then, we softened up and gave our new members a wiener roost. Having duly initiated our new members, we then turned to the next big event on the library calendar which was Book Week. Because of the Senior Play, Monaco had its Book Week before the rest of the United States, however, we enjoyed it just as much. The Library Club not only gave an assembly program for the Senior High entitled America Moves Forward, but also spon- sored one for the Junior High called United Nations. To close Book Week, we planned a tag day from which we realized thirty dollars. This amount enabled us to join the Book-of-the-Month Club. This membership as- sures us of at least one new book a month for our readers. Betsy Herchenroether As members of the Library Club, we felt very flat- tered when Mr. Groleau asked us to help in the public library. We were to keep it open during the day, thus giving more of the town's people a chance to use it. After much discussion, it was decided that two girls would work there for two weeks-alternating mornings and afternoons. Thus, we would not miss so much school, and yet be doing our civic duty. Aside from working in the public library, we worked in our own high school library-cording, shelving, and mending books. When the new books arrived, the Library Club always had a chance to look them over first and read what they chose before the rest of the school. This was our reward for the work which we did. However, the Library Club is not all work and no play. We have our parties and good times just as any other club, but we are primarily a service club rather than a social organization. As the year draws to a close, we pause to think back over the work and fun, laughter and tears, which went into making this a successful year for our club. As our seniors bid us farewell, we send with them our best wishes. We, who are left, are looking forward to making the Library Club not only bigger and better but of more service to our school and community. -44- 'lllle Qllacllllif .Sanus The chief aim of the Junior Red Cross Council is to be of service to the National Red Cross, so that through our school we may be able to give aid more efficiently. The work of the Junior Red Cross is essentially the some as that of the senior organization. A glimpse into the records of good deeds reveals thot this group has re- stored the visual life of several children by buying them glasses and by making examinations and eye tests possible. The girls of the Junior Red Cross Council of the Senior High School have made sterile dressings which have been placed in casualty stations throughout the town. The boys have been very faithful in taking the First-Aid course in order that they might also be of help in case of emergency. Junior Red Cross Council members have collected old magazines and newspapers which were sold to the paper dealer. Some of the money from the sale of paper was used here to buy necessary things with which to work. We were sufficiently fortunate in having some of our supplies sent to the National Red Cross. Christmas boxes were filled and sent to evacuee children in devastated war areas. This timely gesture gave us a feeling of pride ond satisfaction. In the past, the boys of the Industrial Arts classes, as well as the boys of the Junior Red Cross Council of the Senior High School, have made ash stands for military hospitals in this country. This is one means by which the Red Cross helps to bring cheer to the suffering ones. The main social event of the first semester was a trip to Pittsburgh, where we attended a good movie which we enjoyed immensely. The evening was climaxed by a visit to the Colonial, which is located in Bellevue. Here we found good food which was not difficult to take, as well as some outlet for exercise-dancing and bowling. ln this way, we extended to Miss Helen Schupay, our faculty sponsor, our sincere best wishes for her success and happiness in her situation as a member of the Navy Nurses' Corps.

Platform: Self-improvement, Christian fellowship, united service, The Tri-Hi-Y Club started out very successfully with an impressive induction service at which Mrs. D. C. Locke was the speaker. On October I6, the Tri-Hi-Y members assisted the Junior Tri-Hi-Y in conducting a Tag Day for the Monaca Public Library. This was the most important service project of the year. Three dances tor the entire school were sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y in the first semester. During the club year, Tri-Hi-Y members enjoyed the in- teresting talks given by The Reverend Ross Hunt, Mrs. McNeill, Miss Blair, and Anni Salberg. Representatives from the Tri-Hi-Y attended the Hi-Y -Tri-Hi-Y Rally held at the Beaver Falls High School on December IO. There they discussed their various activi- ties and heard The Reverend Harold E. Buell, pastor of the Mount Lebanon Methodist Church, speak an Going to School in India. In February, the Tri-Hi-Y enrolled in the State High School Bible Study Project under the leadership of The Reverend Edwin G. Sloan of the First Presbyterian Church of Monaca. Several interesting and pleasing programs were pre- sented at the last evening meetings of the year, with the Spring Dance in April concluding the social events of the year. aflfw cup Shinch First Row: E.

Reader To build into the lives of individual high school boys, Christian character and ideals, is the purpose of the Hi-Y Club. This Hi-Y movement of international and interderiominational fellowship endeavors to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high standards of Christian character. The official emblem is the Red Triangle representing Spirit, Mind, and Body with the Cross in the center of the triangle. Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, and Christian Living are the four planks in which the Hi-Y finds expression for its practical day-by-day life and work. To every high school boy is given an opportunity to join the Hi-Y Club, if he is willing to accept the ideals of the organization as his guide for daily living, and to promote the Hi-Y movement. Along with several brief after school meetings, the Hi-Y Club held its regular monthly evening meetings at which there was usually a guest speaker, followed by the social hour of good fellowship and fun. As a sports program, an excellent Hi-Y basketball team was organ- ized with many games to its credit. ln February, the Hi-Y joined the Tri-Hi-Y in con- ducting a Bible class open to all the students in the high school under the guidance of Dr. Edwin G Sloan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Monaca. The Monaco Hi-Y Club was organized in l928, by its faithful present-day sponsor, Mr. Reader. ln com- memorating its seventeenth anniversary, we honor our sponsor, our retiring president, and all our past presi- dents, most of whom are serving our country in the world's struggle for freedom. -47- clflo 48 J'loun clllfecle qon clllh The Crew Second Row: J. Renzo, J. Korak, G, Forrest First Row: N. Keck, W, Lovell, A. Larizza Curtains open, stage lights flash on, we behold the beautiful setting, we hear the sound effects off stage. The play is on. Who is responsible for all this action, you ask. The Stage Crew is responsible. The Stage Crew, rightfully named, consists of these six boys, who toil from the opening of school in Septem- ber until the end of May, that the audiences of students or townspeople may enjoy the assemblies, plays, moving pictures, and outside productions. Their only compensa- tion is the privilege of seeing the performances gratis. These stage managers attribute their efficiency and worthiness to their good, faithful friend, Mr. Earl Johns, who directs their work, and who is ever more than gen- erous with his assistance both to faculty and students. The Senior Class Play, Mrs. Miniver, gave the Crew quite a workout. ln the first place, we were not accustomed to having a stage set, it was our intro- duction to props and the like. Then, too, many sound effects were necessary, particularly in the staging of the air raid. No one had an opportunity to be asleep at the switch. The services of Raymond Hild, Glenn Wil- son, Robert Bell, and Earl Brummitt were solicited for this performance. We also had the occasion to display plenty of brown in the staging of a curtain call - another new idea. lt meant continuous opening and closing of the curtain, they were geared for just one operation. With all the headaches, time, and energy, the Crew did have some very interesting experiences which they will always remember. Who knows, perhaps Holly- wood will be wanting their services on a really large scale. Ffh:-:ij Jlllwalga Qet Qt First Row: G. Laughlin, O. Matko, M. Yambresic, G. Fox, V. Fauser, B.

Although there have been few issues printed, the club has been active, and everyone has taken an interest in it. Due to the war, which caused a paper shortage, editions of the Newspaper have been limited. But, though there have been fewer than in previous years, we believe they have been bigger and better than ever. The mem- bers of the Newspaper Club have worked hard to achieve this standard, and we hope that the issues in the fol- lowing years will continue to grow in quality of reading material and interest. Much credit goes to the large number of juniors who have taken part, still the Senior Office Practice Girls are to be praised for their time ond effort given to the typing and assembling of our ACANOM PAPOOSE. Also, credit must be given to the sophomores who have collect- ed personals and editorials. The members of the Staff and Club wish to express their sincere appreciation to Miss Hegner who has pa- tiently guided them and sponsored the Newspaper Club. We hope that in the near future the Newspaper Staff will have an outlet for training in journalistic writ- ing, which will greatly enhance the choice of topics and improve our understanding and use of the tools of good writing. For the actual demands made upon the indi- vidual, this club can be recognized throughout the school as tops in organization, efficiency, and interest. .Stucllentbi Chooac .Student aflction President- Raymond Hild Vice President- Betty Schupay Secretary- Dorothy Krebs Treasurer- Patrick Hill Sponsor- Mr. Charles E.

Its membership is composed of two repre- sentatives elected from each of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes together with the president of each class and the president of each organization in the high school. At the present time, the Student Council has a membership of thirteen students who are the leaders of the classes and organizations in the school. The aims and purposes of the Student Council are as follows: lll to promote the general activities of the school and its best interests, l2l to aid in the adminis- tration of student activities, C35 to induce the students to participate in school activities, f4l to foster sentiments of law and order, C57 to foster good scholarship, l6l to arouse school spirit, f7l to find school needs and help supply them, C85 to foster the principles of democratic government in the schools. These various purposes might be summarized in the one general aim of Student Council: to initiate, promote, and support those projects and activities which will be beneficial to the entire stu- dent body and will help and improve our school. In working toward the accomplishment of these aims, Student Council has three important duties to per- form: lll to make a schedule for Junior and Senior High School assembly programs, 123 to conduct the election of class officers at the end of each school year, C37 to aid in the selection of the outstanding eighth grade boy and girls to whom the American Legion Awards are made. At the beginning of the school year, Student Coun- cil prepares a schedule of assembly programs. lt is so arranged that each class, or homeroom, and organization is responsible for an assembly program. In all, some thirty programs are presented during the year with the Senior and Junior High Schools using the auditorium on alternate Wednesdays. Thus, student participation in school activities is encouraged, and students are given an opportunity to use abilities and talents that would not otherwise get a chance for expression. At the close of the school year, each class and or- ganization elects its officers for the coming year. After the nominations have been made, Student Council takes charge of the elections-having the ballots prepared, supervising the voting in each homeroom, and counting the ballots. Thus the duties and privileges of a citizen in a democracy are exemplified, and students get the ex- perience of actually putting them into practice. Student Council also has a part in the selection of the boy and the girl in the eighth grade to whom the American Legion Awards are made each year. The names of ten boys and ten girls are proposed on the basis of character, scholarship, and leadership. The students of the eighth grade then select the outstanding boy or girl by using the preferential type of voting. Student Council supervises the election and counts the ballots. Throughout the year, Student Council considers and attempts those projects which are of benefit to the entire student body. Though many school activities become somewhat formalized and follow a set pattern, the special aim of Student Council is to try to initiate and promote new ideas and activities that will make our school o better school.

Socially, the Photography Club members enjoyed themselves by attending a wiener roast, a sleigh ride, and a luncheon dance. Of these three social functions, the most entertaining, by far, was the wiener roast which was held at Myrna Mateer's farm on the Broadhead Road. More than fifty club members attended this affair. The early part of the evening was spent in singing songs in front of the huge bonfires which had been built under the supervision of Andy Lopota and Albert Krall. Later, in the evening, a hot-dog eating contest was held, Bob Bell proved that he was the hot-dog king by eat- ing fifteen wienersg Earl Brummitt won second place with a lowly twelve.

Photographically, the members spent most of their meetings taking time-flash and portrait flood-light pic- tures which the students later developed and printed. These time-flash pictures were of two types: synchronic and non-synchronic. The students were more interested in taking of the nonesynchronic type of flash pictures, for these pictures could be token inexpensively with the use of a home-made flash arrangement which consisted mainly of the parts of an ordinary flash light plus a lamp head.

Trella RESUME Monaca opened its 1943-44 season by com- ing from behind in the third period to earn a close victory over a crack Leetsdale five. The Red and Blue then journeyed to Ali- quippa, where they bowed to a superior, much taller team by a decisive score. Again they lost when they took on a fast Wampum team on the Monaca floor. However, by hitting their best stride of the year, they took over a favored team at East Liverpool to make the standing two out of four. But again they lost, with few close moments in the game, when they visited Ambridge. ln the next contest, Monaca sprinted ahead in the last period to vanquish the Crimson and Cold of New Brighton, but again dropped one to Wampum at Wampum. Because of a let- down in the final period, Monaca dropped the fifth game of their non-league series to Home- stead's Class A quint. The very tall Beaver Falls team utterly crushed the Red and Blue on their own floor, but the Indians, although out- classed and outscored, never stopped fighting throughout the whole game. Monaca opened its league season by meet- ing Rochester in Monaca. The Red and Blue went ahead in the second half to give the Rams a decisive drubbing. In the return game at Rochester, Monaca again defeated the Rams, thereby remaining at the head of the Section Xl race. ln the first tangle with Beaver, Monaca lost out in a very close game, but they avenged their defeat by eliminating Beaver, as a com- petitor for first place, in their second game played at Monaca. ln the first battle with Freedom, the Monaca squad came out the victor-but with only a one-point margin. The game was close all the way, with Freedom leading most of the second half-but not quite far enough. The second game was very much like the first, until the Indians poured on the heat in the third chapter to go ahead and stay there. This game put Monaca two games ahead of their nearest run- ner-up in the Section Xl race. ln the first game with Hopewell, Monaca took the lead in the first few minutes of the game and went on to win. ln the second game, played at Aliquippa, the Red and Blue again won to cinch the Section Xl title, since they were two games ahead, and with only one game left to play. Monaca interrupted its league games after the first game with Hopewell by losing a non- league game to New Brighton. The Crimson and Cold avenged their early season defeat on their floor by outscoring the Red and Blue in all periods at Monaca. Monaca's first game with Midland was a very tight, defensive battle. However, the Red and Blue managed to stay out in front and beat back a fourth-period rally by the Leopards to win by a close score. In the second game, the Indians took the lead in the first quarter and held it for the duration of the contest. This tangle closed Monaca's league season with Monaca taking the Section Xl Championship for the sixth time in ten years. The Beaver Falls Giants again defeated Monaca by a one-sided score, when the Indians took a vacation from their league games after the first game with Midland. The Red and Blue were outscored in all periods, but were still battling at the final whistle. Varsitg Club Basketball H. Trello, J. Hill, G, Wilson, R. Hild Varsitlj Club Football irst Row: S.

Agnes Birner Wooley On the previous pages, you have seen pictures of excellent boy athletes, accompanied by their records. On these pages, you will notice that we also have a great number of girl athletes. Our program of events started in September with a double elimination volleyball tournament. The Notre Dame team, captained by Elda Roach, came through with top honors, the University of Southern California, cap- tained by Mary Vular, ran a close second. ln November, the Bowling Tournament began with teams bowling three evenings a week at the National Bowling Alleys. Our own capable girls act- ed as pin boys. The Ping-Pong Tournament got me under way in January. Each evening after school, you would see the girls dashing down to the locker rooms to practice ping-pong. During March, we had our Basket- ball Tournament, followed in April by the Badminton Tournament, the final one of the year. ln the course of the year, we en- joyed many outings, such as hiking, swimming, and horse-back riding. Points were earned by taking part in the various activities offered during the school year. At the end of the year, the girls having earned the required number of points were awarded mono- grams and pins. Physical education is important at all times, in war or in peace, but in a war year, we are more convinced of the soundness and need of physical education. ln our Monaca High School program, we find that never have the girls shown a greater interest in ath- letics and physical education than they have during the past year. qlIfe .Stniue ITU 055 lPI1if,AicaQQi3 'git First Row: M.

VENGEANCE Miss Milliron was recently stopped in Detroit for driving through a stop sign and was given a ticket calling for her appearance in traffic court the following Monday. She went at once to the judge, told him that she had to be at her classes then, and asked for the immediate disposal of her case. So, said the judge sternly, you're a teacher. That's fine. Madam, your presence here fulfills a long-standing ambition for me. For years I have yearned to have a school teacher in court. Now, he thundered, you sit right down at that table over there and write 'I went through a stop sign' 500 times. 0. 1-1.
