The Meaning of Your Diploma Over one hundred young men and fwomen receive diplomas from the lllonongahela High School in June. The members of this class have dipped deeply into the frag-es of history, literature, language, science, mathematics, and many other ,helds of activity. The subjects have been mastered, the courses have been completed and the diplomas afwarded, yet many of the members of the class never again will be called ujfon to solve an equation in algebra, give the syntax of a Latin verb, or 1-erform many of the other experiments that fwere solved in the classroom. In the mastery of this work' four years of time has been spent, and doubtless, in many cases, a great sacrifice has been made. Has this been a -waste of time? This question has been in the minds of many students, parents, and others. The answer is decidedly, No! In his progress through the various steps of the High School, the student has discovered the contributions that men and fwomen have made for the swel- fare of society, he has lived with the great leaders of antiquity, the generals, the inventors, the scientists, and the great social leaders. He has obLserved those traits of character that have led to the success of these individuals, that have made their names immortal. He has noted the dangers that lurk in the back- ground, that have meant the destruction of men and nations, and consciously or unconsciously, in this experience he has discovered for himself and others his own poswers and possibilities. The members of this class have had the oppor- tunity for self-choosing, for self-judging, for self-controlling and for self- governing, and have acquitted themselves in such a manner that they have been considered fworthy of the diploma of Monongahela High School, which is the expression of our confidence in them. Each member of the class has developed habits of industry, has disclosed the jlofwers of mastery, has discovered the rela- tionship that should exist among the members of society, has proven his charac- ter, and as he leaves, he leaves fwith us the assurance that his life practices will be pursued with intelligence, to the end that society 1-will benefit through his con- tributions. - YOHN H.

Many have deter- 1nined what will be their life's work and most of the remainder will make the decision in the next few years. Opportunities will be presenting themselves constantly and in large num- bers for these young people to ,611 vacancies in all lines of work. The present workers can not continue always in their positions. They are' constantly retiring on account of age and sickness. To these openings are added the newly formed positions necessary as business grows. The thoughtgthat all jobs are yflled and there is not further opportunity for the young graduate should not be enter- tained. Now, the question of who shall fill these vacancies should be easily answeredhfor in spite of the tremendous development which mankind has 1nade in creating labor-saving devices, the qualifications required of the worker have increased, too. The persons who have prepared themselves by education and training to have a greater and 'more efective knowledge' of the duties of par- ticular jobs and who are prepared to be better citizens' in their communities and nation are the ones who will be employed first and retained longer. Ilfill you have developed a proper altitude toward your fellows which would make you a ftting candidate for some of thesepositions? W'ill you lxe able to carry on the work left uncompleted by the former generation and even improve and develop it to a higher plane? Society expects, yes, demands it of you. -fHOlVARD IV.

VVe wonder if Helen's husband will want to take her out every night, like her make-believe one in the Senior Play? We bet a dollar she won't kick if he does. WVhen you take a good look at Helen you know that the guy that said gentlemen prefer blonds was all wet. ANNA S. BARTECK QANND This girl from First Street hails, To get her lessons she never fails. Co In m ercial Cla bk Anna is a pupil all our teachers should be proud of, and we hope some busy employer will be proud of her soon. To say that she is eflicient is not enough. Not very often has Anna had to hurry and think up an excuse for not having her work completed.

There is a certain yellow roadster from Butler, that winds its wav toward Sal's door, that approves of Sara as is without any cooking or dressing up. NAOMI BREVVER Naomi hailing from Finleyville, Is never quiet and never still. Gln' Club '28: Commercial Club. Naomi is another of those industrious Com- mercial students who intends to find a job next year.

HELEN BUDRIS QHELENJ 'lEHiciency wanted did that ad say? Helen Budris is naturally that way. Commercial Club '31. Commercial subjects have been easy for Helen.

And, for his size, he can make a whole basketball team himself. MARGARET CONTE KMARGJ Marg can take dictation by the yardg In fact, no subjects for her seem hard. Commercial Club. Marg pretended to be a dumb stenographer at a Commercial -Club meeting, but even though she was the typical dumb stenog she didn't deceive us, for we know she ranks among our best. Marg will not be as dumb as the rest of us when we spend our first day in an oflice, for she was named the typical Senior stenographer last fall. WILLIAM COOK CCOOKIED Where do you work? Mr. Suttles cried. The workingman's Store, Bill replied. Band '.?1: Orchestra '28, '.i'1,' Fooiball '28,' Commercial Club. Work and Cookie go hand in hand. So does his 1925 KH Cheve. Only his very close friends know that he likes the daughter of a local dentist. VVe wouldn't be surprised, if some day ....... Well, you understand. Bill is going to be a high class salesman. RALPH PAUL COVERT CCOVERTJ -Covert seems to be quiet and shy, But we all know that he's a darn good guy. Science Club. If silence is golden, Ralph is 24 karat. He informs us that he is going to take up aviation. VVe won't be surprised if, when reading the news- paper some day, we see Ralph's name in head- in headlines for making a non-stop Flight. Won't he make a handsome aviator? MARION EDITH CRAIG KMARIONJ Marion is so shy-petite, Was there ever another quite so sweet? Commercial Club. The fact that Marion seems quiet is only due to the fact that she is very modest. But we have always found her a willing helper when we called upon her for aid.

Matilda never has revealed many of her thoughts while with us. but she should be liked everywhere.

SAMUEL DESANTIS CSAMJ Sam's ambitions are very high: - To see the world 'ere he must die. Football '29,' Manager of Football Team '3'0. However, Sam doesn't intend to see the world through arose colored glasses, but through a porthole.

' ' RQBERT DUBS QSKEETSJ Despite his size, impossible though it seem, Through perseverance he made the team. Football '29, '30. Although he's small, his greatest aim this year was to make the football team and he did. Proving that true success is the constancy of purpose.

JEAN FORSYTHE qJEANy A merry heart that laughs at care, Along with pep, that makes it rare! Junior Scicnre Club '28,' Hi-Spy,' Flame: Commerrial Club.

SALVATOR IN SERRA CSALD Some day when along Main Street you come, A sign will read Inserra's 'Tonsorial Em- porium. Sricncc Clubi '31, Jr. Scivrzre Club '23.

Keep up the good work, and a swell barber you'll make. CARRIE FRANCES ISAAC C-CARRIEQ Quiet, with such a humble air, Her type is very, very rare. Lf- Cerrln Francais. Carrie was never known to disturb a study hall or to appear in class without her work. Many times have the members of our faculty sighed for more like her. But alas! they don't exist. Yet she's humble and modest and pays no attention to the praise of her work. She should not find life a dreary battle.

But as a peppy, quick, snappy reporter- well she just fits in. ROBERT CARRICK KEENEY QBOBD Easy come and easy go, One whom we've been glad to know. ' Track '30, '3I,' Science Club '30, '3I. Robert is one of the exceptionally quiet beings of the class. Perhaps it's because he is shy, or maybe it's because he really doesn't get a chance to say anything, so he just leaves the talking to the noisier members of the class. ALBERT C. KEIFFER CKEEFJ M. H.

We wonder if he will take his gas-buggy, as they seem to be inseparable. Eugene has become greatly attached to his auto, for what would he have done if he had had to walk from the top of the.River Hill to school ?

THE FLAME OF 1931 Junior The officers of the Junior class are James Crall, presidentg Helen Nagy, vice presidentg Agnes Jones, secretaryg Antoinette Vaira, treasurerg Rfliss Young, sponsor. This year the class has had two delightful parties. One of their outstanding achieve- ments was the presentation of the Junior play, A Perplgxing Situation, on April 10, 1931. Although some may say that thirteen is an unlucky number, the Junior class is an exception. Here were thirteen in the cast of the play, which certainly was anything but unlucky. Then, an event which held equal significance for the Seniors, the junior- Senior Prom. This colorful affair can indeed be called the most important event of the year.. The rings and pins ordered by the class are gold with a black onyx setting, and wildcats, the school symbol, on the side.

They held two parties this year, both of which were successful 3 the second, ex- ceedingly so. At the second party, a St. Patrick's affair, they had 'about the largest attendance ever to attend a school party and the financial reapings were in two figures. The refreshments were secured on a community basis and thus they were able to secure an orchestra. Although they prepared for more than they expected, they were unable to appropriately accommodate all who came. The class has taken a new step by organizing a dramatic club. It was started late in the year, and together with the newness of the venture, that combined to prevent a very great extension of their activities. However, in the future, they will no doubt be very active. A -.uiW1uminl1nn:-un1nu..uuiunu--n-1nn-quinn:nn-ul-..un.-ln1un:mi--uinn1un1l,.-nnnr1q.1m-..u1.,.iun1nnn-- -47..

The Flame of IQ3I As has been the custom since 1916, a staff, picked from the graduating class, has tried to present an interesting and lasting year book to the school. We know that the FLAME will prove a valuable link to the past. The staff was choseniand duly organized on December 19, 1930. Fortunately for the staff, the High School had given us a publication room, which is located across from the Cafeteria. At our first dedication party, we named it the Scribble Den. At the beginning of our work, we realized that we had more or less of a task resting on our shoulders. VVe were handicapped especially in our advertising solicita- tion. Due to the business depression which has swept over the country, we expected countless difliculties. We are proud to say, though, that our advertising department came through with flying colors. If any department was outstanding in effort, cer- tainly it was that one. VVhen the time came for taking the pictures of the different active High School groups, we encountered a spell of bad weather. Thus, when they were finally taken, they had to be rushed to the engravers who gave us splendid service in so short a time. V This year We adopted a new policy of having personal Writeups for each gradu- ating Senior. Weeks were spent in writing, correcting, and typing these Writeups.

Due to our slowness of organizing at the Hrst of the year, every night after school, two or three nights a week after dinner, and almost every Saturday, found the stii room occupied by busy would-be journalists. Every Senior Panellhad to be cut out of large strips of cardboard and decorated with black lines. Then every. picture had to be pasted on to the panels, accurately and neatly. But most all of our problems were minor ones, and we all are congratulating our- selves on our good fortune. At the First of the year, the Hi-Spy quoted the Staff as saying, If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Do you think we have kept our motto? The Staff would like to thank the splendid enthusiasm with which the Annual has been received. We feel that we have been amply repaid for our work. VVe hope that next year's class will get just as much enjoyment, just as much experience, and as many good breaks as the 1931 Staii. 1.1.-.lp-ug.-gp.-g-11.1. -.,..-lg.-gl.-u.g.l4.-1.-.gli 1...-..-ul.--1-....1g-1..1....--.1...1 THE FLAME OF 1931 First Row-Shuler, Boyer, Sloan, Rodgers, Linn, Janoll.

Junior Play For the past three years, it has been the custom for the Juniors to present a play, the purpose of which is to help defray some of the prom expenses.

The play substantially increased the class treasury, and was enjoyed by all. A ' Wlren Bliss Young, their able sponsor issued a call for tryouts for the parts, she was greeted by over fifty would-be actors.

Sophomore Dramatic Club p The sophomore Dramatic Club held its first meeting February third and organiz- ed temporarily with Thelma Fuller as chairman and a committee of four others, Jane Borland, Robert Ferrari, Robert hlitchell and Nlary Herron. The Doctor in Spite of Ifimself by Moliere was chosen as the first play and the cast contains Clark Ford, Cecelia Nezzle, Lois Brown, John Hutchko, Earl Brown, Dorothy Laughlin, Jack Thompson, Robert Mitchell, and Frank Stickle. Virgina McFeeter, chairman, Fidelis Boyle, and Charlotte Ewing comprise the costume committee 5 and Verne Day, chair- man, Donald Manning, and lblary lXfIcD0well have charge of the properties manage- ment. The sophomore Dramatic Club of 1931 is the first club of its kind ever started in Mfonongahela High School. About fifty of our two hundred sophomores have join- ed. This we consider a good start. lvlembership in 1931 has been limited to the soph- omore class and as the organization is still in its infancy and has yet to prove its stability. We hope that the club will continue through next year. ln that way, next year's class of Juniors will be organized, thus in time extending the membership thru the last three years of High School. The object of the club is to inform the members in all phases of dramatic art, stage setting, costuming, reading, and writing of plays, acting, and perhaps pick up later in the finer and more diiiicult art of directing. Our goal will be reached by energetic and persistent concentration and interest on these subjects. We are pro- gressing favorably under the capable leadership of Misses White and johnson--who knows-some of our names may go down in history as having 'been to twentieth century literature as Shakespeare was to sixteenth century literature. ...5-f.. -Iq.....-u.-...-....11m..-..1..1u..- .,1........i.q1nn..-..4.....,.-...1..1nu.-u11..limi1....-im.-.u...-.I-....1...1.... pg-. , THE FLAME OF 193.1 1...-I.-.,.il....,11.,.1lui..n1.,.-1.1W...1...-1.1.I...iU--I..-.Ig..W1........-alll.-......u.i..im.1u ..-.,..qu-m.- First Rouv-Miss Stevenson, Ferrari, Halechko, Peci, Leeper, Mr. Suttles.

Commercial Club The Commercial students of the class of '31 organized a Commercial Club, a new organization tin our High School which gives promise of becoming a valuable one. The ofiicers of the club for the year were: President, 1VIargaret Pecig vice president, Diary Ferrarig secretary, Kenneth Leeper 5 and treasurer, Andrew Halechko. The purpose of this club is to give the student a broader outlook on the commercial world. It also aims to help him to be better prepared to take a place in industry by coming into contact with people already affiliated with different business concerns. Only four meetings have been held by the class of '31 but they feel that they have benefited by each one. The programs, while always entertaining, have been in- structive as well. At the first meeting li-Tr. Harry Larimer, cashier of the First National Bank, told the members what would be expected of the High School student applying for posi- tions. They were rather hard requirements but the members are trying to make the grade. At the second meeting hir, Alten of the Travelers Fire-Liability Company was the speaker. He explained the insurance procedure his stenographer must handle and the duties she must perform. CHe also insisted that he was merely talking, not making a speech and gave us permission to call 'him Uncle Billyifl At the third meeting, an Alumni Night was held and a play presented for the benefit of the past seniors. It was then decided that the future Commercial Seniors should not be slighted, so a party. was held for them. It is now their club and the Class of '31 hope they can help the growth- of the club they founded. .-58... n-u.-un-nu..uu-uui..un-un-nU1nu-nl-n1un1-1u-w-..n..-nu-.un.-nn-un-1.41-nu.-1.1.1.1-. - - .ing-..n1..1 THE FLAME OF 1931 --uinnv-un-.un-nmLnn.11I-.:min...nn1uu1uu..-in-.uutun--uninn1uu.....-. n.-u--up-nin-111.-nu-un-un1nn1u nu- First Row-Shuler, Voight, McStallswN'orth, Fisher, Keitfer, Crouch, Borland.

Scieni Club The Science Club of llflonongahela High School has for its object: the improve- ment of its members in scientific knowledge in experimenting and in the use of par- liamentary law. The membership of the club- consists of a Senior and Junior group who are students of chemistry or physics. llfir. Rankin, acting as faculty sponsor, called to order the first session on December 4, 1930. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. The election of ofiicers was then held with the following being elected: President .............. . ............. .... A nd rew Rostoksy Vice President .............. .... A lice Sutman Secretary, ...... .... C arl Janoff Librarian ....... ...... . . . .lkiargaret Crall Sergeant-at-arms ........................... VVade VVhitlach llfieetings were held every other Thursday. in the Chemistry room, 208. The pro- grams were experiments performed by groups of students before the class. Que of the features was putting the letters MI. H. S. in phosphorous on the blackboard and upon turning out the lights M. H. S. in silver letters appeared on the board. At another pro- gram water was changed to wine by putting water and sodium hydroxide on sulp- huric acid, this turned the water to the proverbial wine . It was then changed back to Water again. lVIany other interesting programs were held. - Two monthly magazines were given by the club to the library, the Popular lVIechanics and Scientific American. They are planning a visit, to Carnegie Tech'S open house night where they will be given an opportunity to see an engineering course. The Science Club held lively sessions this year and progressed rapidly in scien- tific knowledge. .-59... 1u-ll.1lu-ll-.n-np--un-uu.-minimum-II,-aninu..-nn11.1I...ui1.1-un-qu-1nn1nn-nnilpiun-qp-. -111.- THE FLAME OF 1931 First Raw-lyiademoisellesz Cohen, Stephens, Sloan, Lazzeri, Young, Stewart.

Despite the struggle to remember words, the meetings held at the homes of the members were always interesting and replete with fun. The members especially enjoyed their correspondence with students in France, which will continue even after graduation. All the members are seniors. The club was generous, however, with their fun, and shared some of it with the school by presenting a French play in Assembly. By means of pantomime and an explanation in English at the beginning, they thoroughly enjoyed the antics of the cast. The name of the play was La Suprise d'Isidore and concerned the fact that practically everybody in the cast was considered insane by everybody else, though none of them were. The characters were portrayed by Andrew Rostosky, Helen Anton, Sara Hayden, Nladison Rodgers, and Evelyn Young. The explanatory resume was given by Ruth Cohen. ' At the end of the year an initiating banquet was held for the new members of the club, who will take their places next year. Part of the entertaining program was a presentation of an hilarious French play. Of course it, and the treasure hunt, and the delicious dinner, made up to the as- piring linguists for their mortifying attempts at conversation with the more CU ac- complished Seniors. The ofiicers of Le Cercle Francais are Sara Miargaret Sloan, president, Evelyn Young and Anne Stewart, vice presidentsg Frances Stephens, secretary, Ruth Cohen, treasurer, Miss Suzanne Lazzari, French teacher.

Ushers In tailored crimson dresses these efficient girls usher people to seats in our audi- torium or serve them delicious food at banquets. - The girls served this year at the teachers' banquet in September, and again at the football banquet, at the close of the football season. Under the guidance of Nlrs. Stewart the ushers have poise and give courteous service to everyone. They are often asked to serve at outside club entertainments. This year they ushered at the lWother's Club program, Associated Cliarities show, and Parent-teacher entertainment. The girls also ushered at Junior High School and High School Operettas, the Senior Play on February l7th,, the concert on Mfarch 20th, the musical contest on April 2nd, Junior Play on April 10th. Under-class girls serve at the Junior-Senior Prom, dressed to carry out the scheme of decorations of the gymnasium. At Com- mencement Junior girls, wearing white organdy dresses and the fiowers of the class add to the grandeur of that big event. Eva Patton acted as head usher this year. This function of our school aclds prestige to hionongahela High School, for no other school in the valley can boast of ushers. Places will be vacated by Senior girls but we know that they will be just as effectively filled by under-class girls, '-61- 1.n1n,,...nu.1l...1.n1uu1,,,...,,-...gi.niun-n.-.nn-lm..-nn....nn-.ln1.m11,q.-pu-,m..g.1m,im..-ul.-.. ...qt -. pl-.n .- '19, THE FLAME OF 1931 First Row-Elchenko, Ferrari, Mr. VVhitney, Ginsberg, Heyes.

But with only one veteran speaker back, the school is proud of their record. The question for debate Was: Resolved, that old age pension legisla- tion should be enacted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A The first call for aspiring young orators came early in the year. There followed months Of'VVl'ltil1g and rewriting speeches, searching and researching for material. Then came the final selection of the team. After giving 'their speeches in assembly, the first debate was held February. 12. The affirmative spoke in the High School audito1'ium, while the negative traveled. The First debate was with a new-comer on the High School schedule, Donora. In this opening tilt, the affirmative won, the negative lost to Donora's affirmative. The next week, both our teams were victorious over California's. This placed us on an equal footing with C-harleroi, who, although they had not yet been defeated, were required to win one oftheir debates with us to win the championship. With an ex- perienced and capable team they defeated both of ours by narrow margins. However, through this publication, the school extends its hearty congratulations upon the fine efforts of the members. This includes the capable direction of our new debate coach, Kenneth VVhitney. The affirmative side consisted of Alice Elchenko, George McCleary, and Libera Ferrari, alternate. The negative was composed of Rosalie Ginsberg, G. L. llfiessenger, and John Parkinson and Anna Heyes, al- ternates. -nn1...n1n,,..nu..un1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.-n1n,,1n--un1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 14111 ..62.. 1,.1.1l.1..1 1 1 1 1 1 .1..n1.,1.,.1.....,.1..,1un-11.111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 THE FLAME OF 1931 First Rofw-Roule, Cohen, Lynch, Hazzard, Elchenko, Leadman, Peci, M.

This lively journalistic eiiort has won for its staffconsiderable praise. This especially refers to the editor, Alice Elchenko, who is certainly a working model of what the editor of a school paper should be. There were six issues of the Ili-Spy pub-lished, each an accomplishment in itself. All the news, features, sketches, and covers, were XV1'ittCI1 and designed by members of the staff, and printed on their mimeograph machine. Everybody had a most enjoyable time selling the first paper. L There were news- boys in the halls, and the dayr before it came out, slips of paper with advertisements of the I-Ii-Spy on it were passed out. ' ' The Pli-Spy and FLAINIE brought about the establishment of a regular publication 1'OOI11 fnicknamed the Scribble Den, which has long been needed. This room was the scene of two delightful staff parties which will ever linger in our memories. It is equipped with a mimeograph, shelves, tab-les, chairs, and many other minor necessary accessories. ' We believe a school paper has been produced which will continue through the years. It is hoped that the journalistic activities of the school may, as a result of the advances made this year, broaden out and develop to an even greater extent than has hitherto been known. 1n:mimi.-nu--un-uniun-uIn-11111. 1 1 1 1 -11-n1nu--uu1u1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1mu1un1nl1n1 .1631 u1un1un-n-un.1nu1nn1nu1uu-11.11-lin1uu-nu1m.-1qn.--1.111nu1nu-m..1nn-.uniuu1mm-In.1.n1un1u-nu:-nn1un1 ' x V THE FLAME or 1931 l .1nn-.nl-11,1W1..1.,,1ym1U1,n1...1l.-.m1,,.1..,1u..1-n1,,,1.1-1rm1m11nu1nn1nn1.n1nn.-.I-m1nn1nu1ln-. - , l J 4 1 l Fin!

And this year they won first place in Western Pennsylvania. Their mel- odious voices surely deserve to win such honors. There are forty members in the Senior Chorus, all having been elevated, because of merit, from the Junior Chorus. Each has shown ability and enthusiam for the work. Four members of this chorus have formed a quartet. These girls, Anne Stewart, Mary Podroslcv, Ruth Hayward, and lllargaret Markatine, also won the county championship these last two successive years. This year they also won the champion- ship for VVestern Pennsylvania. By competition, four members of the Senior Chorus were chosen and went to Detroit to take part in the National High School Chorus. VVhile there, they broad- cast over a national radio network. The girls were Rosalie Rinard, Anne Stewart, Ruth Hayward, and Doris Clemens. They'1l never forget the wonderful time they had. Two other participants in the County Mtisical Contest this year were the vocal soloists, Agnes Brown, alto, and Gail Nelson, soprano. Agnes Brown won first place in county contest. .1.,.1..l1 u1mi1nn1.,..1 1n.1..g1.'l1. 1 1g'1..1n--nn1n 1 1 1 1 1 1ln1m1nl11.1nn1,.1..,1ng1..- -64- 3.1m THE FLAME OF 1931 First Row-Balliard, Gondas, Kelly, Malena, Callary, Thomas, Sklar, Mitchell, Brown, Gadd.

The Junior Chorus is composed of beginners who de- sire to receive elementary training insinging. Correct posture and poise is taught to these students. They also receive valuable instruction in stage presence. hir. Smith takes pains with the Junior Chorus because they are the future Senior Chorus. When the Junior members organized in September they had as their work the learning of the art of singing and harmony. They had as an aim, promotion to the Senior Chorus if they show ability of advancement. Usually the Junior Chorus is composed of Freshmen and Sophomore students but upon any signiof unusual talent they are put into the Senior Chorus. The Junior Chorus is the basis of our Senior Chorus and with their support the Senior Chorus has advanced rapidly. Some members of the Junior branch of the Cfhorus sang in the Operetta and their ability is well known. ini:lin1lu-ugh-un.-nu1nn1ul1uu-.mains-..:nina-.min.1 1-nn-tm-gn-uniln1nu-nn-nn-my-.li-4-1.11 1 ...55... ip.-..ni'l1qqi,,,.inn1.n-nn..-n.1.n..,,.-n.1nn-n...n.-lu.-mt-.nnn.,un.-un-uninn1nl-.,1m.1...-..1,.i.v,1n THE FLAME OF 1931 ..nn..-..14........m1..1miII.-gM-M11.11ll.-.4l1I,11pi.--ni...1..-.M1I,I-.M1ml1nn-ul-..1.u1.m-nn.-nn-.nn...

Band On to victory, Monorigahela, plunge right through that line, and the band comes marching down the field. Their drum major with high white hat and slung baton is leading. With their white trousers and red capes, they form a colorful RI on the field. A lusty yell comes up from the bleachers. When the team needs some bolstering up of their morale, or some praise for their fine work, the stirring strains of music pour forth from thirty-five gleaming instruments. In this manner they were present at all the football games, home and away. In the County Musical Contest this year, held here at our High School, lVIonon- gahela's band took third place. Compared to the other two Winners, our band is small. But Professor Smith hopes that it will continue to increase in size. The other ,qualification for winning first place is quality, an attribute which they already possess. , , The County Mttsical Contest brought he1'e, on April 2, about eighteen hundred students from all over the county. There were bands, orchestras, choruses, quartets, violin soloists, vocal soloists, and other instrumental soloists. The judges were two very capableones, the musical directors of Carnegie Tech and Duquesne University. One of the members of our band, Reno Ceccine, was tied for third place in the clarinet solo. Other participants from llionongahela High School are mentioned else- where within these pages.

Those who heard our orchestra play at the County lVIusical Contest were enthralled. The harmonic tones of the violins, the smooth cadences of the cellos and bass Hddlers, the trumpets, and the drums and the horns, blending together in a Wealth of beauty. There are -forty members in the orchestra of varying degrees of proficiency. Some of them have learned to play their instruments from Professor Smith. But their com- bined efforts are indeed enioyable. Due to the con'parative small size of the orchestra, they took second place in the County Contest. They play at all the school affairs and some outside affairs. Francis Comer a member of the orchestra, wcn first place in the County lliusical Contest, for his violin solo. He then advanced to the state sections and won first place in Westerii Pennsylvania. This is the first time we have ever won this-honor, and we are indeed proud of our fellow school-mates. He is a Junior this year. lylembership 'in the orchestra is open to everystudent in the school. In some cases, where the school owns the instruments, students are taught how to play, them by Professor Smith. Professor Smith has been musical supervisor in the Monongahela Schools for four years and has always produced the best in musical organizations. ...in-.n...m.-.g......1..-I..-.ll-.q..1.q.-ni.-.I.1m.-.m.-...,--np-.mb-.I..1l....-...ii,m.1v.....,n.-m..-uq.-un.-nn.-gn.-. .- 1 THE FLAME OF 1931 .1-1lp-gn1q,1.,1,,,11..1.,1,,.1m1vm.1nn1u.11nn1.,1,.l1..1nn1gg1g.1,,1,,1qg1,l1 1'l1.p1. in Siu Eofrng afbiqg 995 D'hf,f , HIS H1cf:?Ac3co?E Q5 G?

Girls' lnterclass Basketball JUNIOR GIRLS VVIN CHANIPIONSHIP NI. H. S. dropped girls' varsity. two years ago, but inter-class teams -have been organized since. Last year the Junior girls won out in the finals and this year the junior class again captured the title. By defeating the Freshies and Sophomores, the Junior-Senior girls played for the championship. The first game, played before the Donora vs. NI. H. S., the game ended in a tie, 16-16. On Thursday, Nlarch 12, both teams met in the gym, after school hours. It was a close game but the Seniors were outplayed, although they put up a hard fight. The score was 15-20. The Juniors gained the title that the Senior girls fought to hold. ' A word should be said about other sports that have predominated in our high school. Although basketball was the main one, volley ball, baseball and tennis were played when the Weather permitted. Miss Catherine Hazlett, the girls' physical education instructor, coached' a bevy of athletic girls. This is the second year of teaching for lVIiss Hazlett and she surely is a coach worth having. She has even taught us how to tap. If ever she gets her wish-that is, a varsity-here's all of our luck and good wishes to it and to you, Miss Hazlett. 1lp..-nipl-I3-pq-qu1q.1u-pl1..p.-.ql.-lpig..-l.1..--..gf J... .- :1 ..- -.- ii -.. 1,1 - .Q i.- 1:1 -..- H -11- Q THE FLAME OF 1931 First Row-Podrosky, Brantley, Miller, Leeper, Janoff, VVright, Miale, SVi-lson, Giannangelo, Trunio.

A Football DE FEAT TRINITY The Wildcats opened 1930-31 football season by easily handling Trinity, new- comer on our schedule, 12-O. The victory was played at home under a glaring sun. Trinity displayed a well balanced team but could not stop Peno Giannangelo from plunging twice for touchdowns, to round up the final score-a win for M. H. S.! h . DUKES . The week following the first home game, our boys toured down the river to Duquesne, where they met the heavy and capable team, the Dukes. Our boys put up a hard fight, but the Dukes got away with two touchdowns that eouldn't, be stopped. The score at the close of the game was 13-O in favor of the Dukes. INIEET LITTLE PRESIDENTS . On Friday, October 3, the Wildcats suffered the greatest defeat of the year. The locals motored to VVashington in high spirits but were turned back with a 46-O defeat, handed them by the Little Presidents. This game is the last game NI. H. S. will play with Wash High for they do not appear on next year's schedule. SCORE AGAINST HOMESTEAD , The next game on our schedule reminded us of that Old Wildcat Spirit, when our pig-skin luggers crusaded to Homestead and defeated the Homestead eleven 7-0. ,g-..,u.-...-Iqiuig--...1--q-uuiun.-.uniun-.gui1.1.14u-.up-nu1q.iun--un--:miamilu1uuiuu1uu-m1nl-nu-nm-nu: -72- .-an THE FLAME or 1931 .

V OUTCLASSED BY CLAIRTON October 25, the Monongahela gridders invaded the city that has held the W. P. 1. A. L. for the past three years. Both teams had to warm up plenty before the game, for the wind was high. Our -boys put up a brave front but the heavy Millton boys went right through that line, defeating the Wildcats 34 to 0. CLASH WITH GREYHOUNDS The Wildcats met the Greyhounds, at home, November 4. Our plucky eleven never gave in for a moment and several times Monessen got quite a scare. VVhen the Greyhounds came to again they plunged down the field and outscored our boys 19 to O, but what a fight for that victory! DOWNED BY STEPPERS The Nlagic City! The Magic eleven! Charleroi and M. H. S., long rivals, met again. The Steppers stepped but not for long, for the Wildcats were right there. Even though we were defeated by the score of 12 to 0, it was a great fight. Our hard fighting eleven put all they had into this game. . MEET CALIFORNIA Wildcats invaded the College Town. The pig-skin did a lot of traveling that day and was so near its death so many. times that the side lines held their breaths. Our McMillan boys played their best game of the season even though they were defeated 6-0. Last year it was vice versa in our favor--next year it's our turn again. Fair enough! E OUTSCORED BY GUNNERS The oddest score on M. H. S.'s schedule was 8 to 0 in favor of Canonsburg. After a touchdown it wasn't long till a Wildcat and Gunner both went over the line. A touchback for the Gunners. The teams gave their spectators something to write home about but our boys were defeated again. DRAGONS EAT WILDCATS Turkey Day! Dawn came, blustering cold, but the loyal fans of M. H. S. went to witness the game of games, when oldest of rivals met! Donora scored in the first quarter but that was allg they were unable to run over the goal line again. The Wildcats sure did put up a hard battle to hold the Donora eleven 6-0. 19,:u-uln-:.:-un-u:1nqi:n-1:.gun-.nzln-..nn-.n!,-n--u-un?nt..::-l:.fuf:n1u:YYu1nu-- .:. 5 -mfg? - , -73- .-n.1n:1un.-l....nu-..lu- -.. .- .1 1m1nu-.nn-.un--un...u..n1,.1pu1uu1.nl1pp1u.-1.11. - 1 1 .- .- THE FLAME OF 1931 First Row-Barnhart, Ginnnangelo, Pizzica, VVilson, Zell, -Crall.

Basketball The Wildcats started their season with their usual warm-up game With Elizabeth. The game was uncertain throughout as to the winner. But in the last fifteen seconds, when the crowds were waiting breathless, Dick Collins tossed in the winning basket to end the game 14-13. Two weeks later, our down-river neighbors visited us for their return game, hoping, of course, to set back the Cats. But in vain. The Wildcats handled them with sharp claws and sent them home with a score of 16-12, our favor. K The first league game was with West Newton. The game was a close game, in fact it was so close that it required an extra period to give the Newtons their two point lead of 27-25. In the next game the VVildcats were the victims of the Grey- hounds. If miracles ever happened lyionessen surely tagged one at this game. It still remains an unsolvable mystery how the Greyhounds won by a score of 21-17 after the Cats held them back for three quarters. ' 1 . VVhen old rivals meet there is a battle, and so there was when the Californians invaded the local Hoormen on January 23. But the local basket loopers ably defended themselves and nosed out the Ashmen 18-17. As the Wildcats are accustomed to great open spaces they were somewhat hyandi- capped by the close quarters of the South B1'oWnsville's well known band-box and thus lost the event by 16-13.

Another of the so-called mysteries occurred when the 1VIagic City outfit handed a defeat of 15-12, after the local ball passers led the first three periods of the play. The McKeesport contest was the unfortunate game of the year, resulting in the fatal injury of Loveless lVIcStallsworth, a star guard on the local five. If we could only get them out in the open, was the thought in many of the local players' minds when they played at South Brownsville. That time came, and the Wildcats took advantage of playing on native boards, and won the game 19-18. Last but not least came the big game with Donora. The boys played a real game and triumphed over the Dragons 24-14, ending their league competition with a bang- up game. Monongaliela also won the first game of the Washington County tournament defeating Donora 32-20. The foul shooting of the Wildcats was excellent, making good 16 out of 20 tried. 1m1un1nu.1.nn-..uu1un.-.un1.nn1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .... 0... 77 ,, ,, , ,s..,, , 111, ,m,- ,,,., J..,..

THE FLAME OF 1931 Class History fin a nutshell-and it is sorta nuttyj FRESHMEN-land were we freshll Histories are supposed to be dry and boring. But this one is going to be different, like the class to which it refers. and have a lizht, frothy, tone. Now chemistry is a Senior subject. but the class of.'31 had a short course in chemistry the first few days of their Freshman year. The instructors of the course were the Sophomores, and their method was to apply iodine to the faces of the Freshies and record the results. Clever, don't you think? . Of course, the class had officers. though why, 'I never could see. Still, as a president, Bill Borland did sorta put a little dippnitv into us. And he never even gave the vice president, Rosalie Rinard, a chance to vice president: he was always there. So was our secretary, Louise Leadmzm, but despite that fact, she always had to ask somebody else what: happened at the meeting so she could write up the minutes. Margie -Clayson took charge of the shekels, and never let anybody get away with a penny. And Miss Kline, though she probably often would have liked to spank us, sponsored us. As the result of two parties, we had 286.68 in the treasury at the end of the year, and we felt tremendously rich. At the end of the year, we had a picnic and that'sQ where some of those silly pictures published herein come from, especially that one of the whole gang of kids. SOPHOMORE-fMost of us survived the hardships of the freshman yearj At last. a chance to play teacher. And ask any member of the class below us whether or not we make good chemistry teachers. As Sophomores we felt quite at home and rather showed it, too. I zruess. Most of us had quite a tussle. though, with geometry and biology. And again that host of iibber-jabberinq infants had to be quieted at meetings by Bill Borland. The Secretary was Boots Reinhart and the holder of the money bags was Madison Rogers. Those spacious receptacles were further filled by the receipts of two big parties. In those days, before the hard times, we had a spiffy orchestra at our parties, so no wonder they were successful. Of course the presence of our sponsor, Miss Simpson, helped lots. ' JUNIOR-Ut may be a grand and glorious feeling to be a Senior but it's a grander onei to be a ' Junior, in my opinionl Probably because we were beginning to re:-ilize that 'fIt won't be long now before we went 51,27 :.11:a-n7:l1-:ina zn.-.u: . zu..u:,i..1,.-ua-nu...,.1..1..1..,7 :.1.:i-nn1...-,I felt...-un7:n1.,.-.qu -73-.

I don't doubt in the least, that a charming young Miss, known to her friends as Sis, but called Miss Lazzari in school, wasl the fire that caused the explosion. May we become serious for a moment to express the deep affection every member of the class of '31 holds in their hearts for their junior class sponsor. President Howard Maloy made a dandy speech at the Prom. Stanley Shuler, future president, was vice presidentg Alice Sutman, with us to the end, was secretary. And I here- with express my deepest sympathy to Kenny Leeper, treasurer. Need we say more? Now just to show you how much initiative we had. we were the first to get their rings and pins in their Junior year. We had the best parties ever held in the gym. and a dandy Prom. And wl1o'll forget the junior play? I must tell you the names of our would-be John and Ethel Barry- mores. They were Kenneth Ashcraft, Sarah Hayden, VVilliam VVallace, Alice Sutman, Madison Roger, and Stanley Shuler. ' ' SENIOR- It was fspeaking in the past already, the best of all our four, years. More spirit, more pep, more up and at 'em. Of course a large part of the credit goes to the class officers and advisors. But then, you can't doanythingiwithout the material. as Mr. Khalesaid about our Senior pic- tures: and these high and mighty ones 'couldn't have done anything without 'tor withj the rest of the class. So the credit goes to every member, although some of them would probably rather have the cash. Now for these guides of ours- ' President land a right good one, tool-Stanley Shuler. , Vice President fHe's supposed to'be bashful with girlsj-Clark Baird. Secretary QAlways preparedj+Alice Sutman. Treasurer fNot so many gray hairs this yearj-Kenneth Leeper. A Class Sponsor fThe punch behind our partiesl-Mr. Rankin. No wonder we turned out to be the best class Monongahela High ever had! CDO I hear some alumnus objecting?l ,, Every one of the parties we had' were perfectly spiffy. No 'doubt one of the things that helped was Mr. Rankin's dancing. Everybody talked for days about that party we had oh October 10. As for our Christmas party--well, exclamation points are the only way ,to describe it! l ! ! ! !! A Christmas tree, a Santa Claus, entertainers, red and green ice cream, cake, candy and punch, beautiful girls, and handsome he-men. ' L , A Then Senior day. Hilarious 'is certainly an unexpressive word. ,I laugh merely to think about it. And the Senior play, Nowadays And our Annual. And finally, after all the rush of Bowers, caps and gowns, pennants, and whatnot, the solemn ceremony of graduation. We complain sometimes about going to school, but after we leave we wish we were back, except when we think of chemistry tests.

' Ralph Richardson: That's only another way of saying that nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Al Sutman: You know, some of those scientists are pretty smart, especially Andrew Rostosky. Frances Stephens: I'll bet that he canlt tell which came first, the hen or the egg. John -Combs: Talking about guns, I got one that can shoot as far as the eye can see. Bill Borland: Did I ever tell you about the gun I had to fire salted bullets out of? John Combs: No. Bill: Well, this gun carried so far that if I didn't use salted bullets, the game would be spoiled before I got to it. ' W Tommy Glasser: I'm an idealist and an artist.

Miss Carpenter: I sure hate to see you leave school, Alice, but of course you are going to better yourself. ' Alice Sutman: Ol no! Miss Carpenter, I am merely going to get married. ' Actress 'Cin the Senior Playj : Well, if you didn't like the way I played the part, how would you have played it? Nancy McGregor: Under an assumed name.

Kathryn McClintock: VVhat kind of role does Madison Rogers have to play in the Senior Play? Evelyn Young: Oh, one that requires quite a lot of self-control. He has to refuse a kiss in the last act. 'Podx-osky: Were you ever in a railway accident? ' Pizzica: Yes. Once when passing through a tunnel I kissed the father instead of the daughter. 'Ann.VVasalasky: You think you're good looking, don't you? Peno: No, but what's my opinion against that of hundreds of others? Cecelia Ranzini: I had a dreadful fall last night?

Simile: VVhen I hit him, he bounced back like an anvil dropped into a Florida swamp.- August Camber. , Skeets: As useless as the make-up Amos 'n' Andy use in their act. . Mr. Rankin, the great scientist of M. H. S. is working on a fountain pen which he calls the Save-the-Sucker pen. When it comes in contact with a dotted line, it stops writing. Libby Ferrari says money isn't the only thing in the world. But, she adds, I like it best. Optimist: Tommy Glasser says Never kill yourself when you're feeling gloomy. It's bad luck. Crimes aren't what they used to be. VVhy, in three weeks, not a single pair of gyms were hooked from the lockers. - While you can go to sleep in Los Angeles and wake up in New York, it still takes two min- utes to boil a two-minute egg. - V 4And the Venturi twins put a smart one over on- the teachers by alternating. Each girl studies only half the lessons and then they tak'e the credit for both of them. However, this year Mr. 'Crane foiled them by putting both of them in one class. And when Paul Nelson was hauled before the judge for a speeding offense, the Judge took a look at his car and said Case dismissed. . And I cast my vote for Bernie McAndrews as the biggest liar in school. I ought to know, for I ride to school with him, and what that boy can't think up! And fAnnabel Leyda'sl fingers and chewing gum can keep perfect time on the typewriter. Two strokes to every chew. - And Miss Carpenter says that Nancy McGregor's t's look like a landslide. , , Hail to the second Floyd Gibbons-Joe Nezzle, like which there is no other.

VVe think concentration is being abld to follow the P. O. D. teacher when he is talking.-This is not a personal reflection. - And then there is that old saying Brevity is the soul of wit. A certain Wag in school turned it around a little and said Brevity is the soul of a half-wit. . Personally, we don't know to this day whether that first speaker on the Donora Negative thought he was at a musical concert or whether he just couldn't help it. And believe it or not, the biggest kick we get out of coming to school is when we come in late, and while the other kids are being made miserable by getting a free pass to detention, we can nonchalantly stroll past Mr. Crane, to the envy of the other students. In case you don't understand, we come to school on a bus. . There is much talk these days about murdering the King's English. VVell, what doi we care? This is a free country, and we don't have a king anyhow.

E. Flint for The Daily Republican: JOSEPH ALEXANDER ELECTED SECRETARY OF CARROLL Q SCHOOL BOARD ' At a meeting of the school directors of the Carroll district, held April 4, 1840, Joseph Alexander of Monongahela City, was elected Secretary. The electionrof Mr. Alexander was a significant act, inasunuch as he began a public service at that time which has been carried on for a period of ninety years by the Alexander line, first in Carroll Township, and later, after Monongahela was made a separate district in the school board of the latter city. ' Following Joseph Alexander, after he gave up service as a school director, his son, Willia'1n J. Alexander, was chosen as a member of the Monongahela board, later serving as its Treasurer. During the latter's lifetime, his nephew, Joseph A. Herron, a grand- son of Joseph Alexander, was chosen as a. member of the board, in which capacity he served for thirty-two years. Following the death. of William J. Alexander, his nephew, Williain H. Alexander, who is also a grandson of Joseph Alexander, was chosen Treasurer of the board, which position he still holds. In order to further the line of succession, three years ago John S. C., Herron, a great grandson of Joseph Alexander, and a son of J oseph'5A. Herron, was elected a member of the board, in which capacity he is now serving. ' This gives a continuous service on the part of the Alexander line since 1840, or a period of ninety years, covering four generations, pos- sibly a record that would be hard to equal in the Commonwealth of Penn- Sylvania.

Odd coincidence, eh what? After the part he had in the Senior play. He said he liked the work a lot.

Congratulations, Seniors, from ISAAC 81 SPENCE GRANITE AND MARBLE MONONGAHELA, PA. lContKinued from page 54b the role of the handsome lover quite adequately. Katherine's kid brother, the sauntering Nladison Rodgers, was, however, the one who brought the chuckles. During the play young hir. Rodgers turns from a NVOHIZU- hater into an ardent admirer. And although he sent her flowers in the second act, in the first he exclaimed, For the love of tripe, Polly Benedict, a girl I used to go to kindergarten with! VVhy do I have to take her? Why can't she go by herself? I don't know how to.call for a girl. , ' Then there is Sara Hayden, as the mother, Mrs. Hardy. Her continual use of the word election, when it should have been nomination quite vented her husband, the judge, played by Kenneth Leeper. She made her presence appreciated, however, by leaving home for awhile. Alice Sutman and Helen Anton, playing Mrs. Hardy's two married daughters, were both fine. Each left their husbands for two opposite reasons, but finally, by Mrs. Hardy's clever leaving forever scheme of her own, maneouvered reconciliations. Perhaps something that helped bring about all the harmony at the end was the fiery speech of the old-maid aunt, lklarion Jones. 'Perhaps, too, Nlarion summed up the feelings of all those in her class when she said, lVIaybe your lives are not onelong, sweet dream of happiness, hut believe me, I'd take all of your troubles on my shoulders, bear the burdens of a home, a family, and a thousand husbands, rather than go through life an old maid again. A pair of hand-made shoes, made by Gran'pa, Tommy Glasser, was the final link in the chain that bound them together. And the curtain came down on an at- tempt of the kid brother to sell his future brother-in-law a swell lot to build on. ,-J W Phone 126-W , , ,V , Gilkey 8: Underwood, HY ' Printers J RINTING FOR J ARTICULAR 5 EOPLEIAT ' OPULAR , .
