HALL PATROL There are seventeen traffic cops who keep order and quiet in the halls. It is their duty to see that the halls don't become jammed and noisy when classes are changing. They also see that all rules that have reference to halls are obeyed. These seventeen order keepers are: Mabel McMaster, Deloress Heath, Ethel Turner, Harry lava, Harry Hyatt, Russell Arthurs, Russell Gray, Norma Kern, Regis Grogan, Katherine Salts, Andy Roznetinsky, Iohn Gualtieri, Gertrude Schmetzer, Hallie Iacobi, Lillian Gottschalk, Gerald Gordon, and Helen Gozdal. TRI-HI-Y The Tri-Hi-Y sponsored by Miss Mestrezat has forty Iunior and Senior members. The officers are Mary Trunick, Anita Straight, Eleanor Regotti, and Dorothy Lottes. The activities of the year were varied: Miss Braun, the Rev. Walrond, and Mr. Long were guest speakers: the girls were the guests of the Cory Tri-Hi-Y at a meeting in the Y.M.C.A.: they gave a swimming party: and the Iuniors gave a larewell party for the Seniors. However, the highlight of the Club this year was the Tri4Hi-Y Dance on March 29. The auditorium was all aglow with Japanese lanterns and drag- ons and there was even a bridge in the middle of the floor. The girls and their friends danced to the music of Frank Palaio and his Orchestra. F. F. A. Since 1937 we have had a chapter of F.F.A.. the aims ot which are to better farm lite and to teach the boys to think for themselves. This year the boys intend to go to State College for a judg- ing contest and to Cleveland for the National Poultry Congress. The club is under the leadership ot Mr. Reed and the officers are Arthur Berardi, Howard Giitin. Richard Fischer, and Dan Doughty. Page Twenty-seven

IOURNALISM Moon Beams Moon Beams, the school paper, which is issued every other Friday, is under the supervision of Mr. Russell and contains school news, personal items, and an exchange column. The Moon Beams staff has many members who play important parts in the production. Norma Kern, who served as editor, was ably assisted by Edna Thomas and Robert Von Stein, news reporters, and Andy Roznetinsky, business manager. Awards were given to all typists and all members of the staff who had per- formed at least two years of satisfactory service. REPORTERS Each year a staff is chosen by faculty adviser, Miss Braun, to write Moon Hi Notes for the Coraopolis Record. This column, written every Week, contains all school activities that would be news of interest to patrons of the school. Louise Dickson and Betty Conway, with sports reporter Andy Roznetinsky, edited the Notes and Georgia Caldwell did the typing. We also have contributed many articles to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette School Page, and Norma Kern has handled this job most capably, having had printed a number of by-lines. In November she and Miss Braun were the guests of the Post-Gazette at the annual dinner for reporters and sponsors. Page Twenty six
