MERIT PARADE Each year the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette publishes on its school page the pictures of three students from each high school who have been chosen by their respective high school classmates. To each cf these people the newspaper awards a pin. This year Moon High chose Lorne Campbell, Norma Kern, and Eleanor Regotti for this signal honor. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Since l937 fifteen per cent ot the Senior Class has been elected by the faculty to membership in the National Honor Society. This award is made on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. From the class of 71949, Georgia Cald- well, William Dally, Louise Dickson, Hallie Iacobi, and Edna Thomas won this very high honor.

Page Thirty RECOLLECTIONS Before leaving our school life for the life of the world, we pause for a moment to reflect. We all remember that morning early in September, 1936, when we realized we were no longer in grade school, but in high school. We were freshmen! It was the second year of football at Moon, and our class was represented there by George Tesla, who won the varsity Two of our fellows played basket- ball for us that year. We were represented in most of the other activities: cheer- leading, chorus, band, and orchestra. Everyone also remembers the time we had winding the maypole for our dance in May. It was the first time a fresh- man class had held a dance in the school. The next year, 1937-38, We were sophomores! This time four of our fellows won varsity for football: lim Lauderbaugh, George tPokeyl Tesla, Lorne Campbell, and Regis Grogan. Both Lorne and George also won basketball em- blems that year. Our class sponsored a skating party, and in April we gave the Senior High School a dance with a spring theme. That year the play, Mama's Baby Boy , was presented and more than half the cast was made up of mem- bers of our class. Our Iunior year was 1938-39. Everyone of us remembers both hard work and good times in activities. Almost half the journalism and Tri-Hi-Y clubs were Iuniors. One-third of the orchestra was made up from our class and we were well represented in band, glee clubs, and other clubs. That year three of our men, Campbell, Fritz, and Lauderbaugh, won basketball letters playing on the B squad. After our mid-term exams, We threw another dance for the high school and in March we held a Carnival at the High School which was very successful. ln April we gave the Seniors a beautiful blue and White prom. The theme was Dutch and it was better attended than any previous prom. After three months of vacation, we were ready to start again. Our home rooms were rooms four and five. We had some wonderful times. Three of our men played football, and Lorne Campbell and Iim Lauderbaugh played A squad basketball. We had lots of fun on Sadie Hawkins day and at the dance that night. In December we threw our last big dance for the High School. It was a Christmas dance in blue and silver, our class colors. The athletic dances gave most of us diversion in the evening: intramural sports and better assembly programs were recreation during school hours. We had an unexpected holiday when the school was closed during the big snow. As a class we took an all-day trip to the courthouse at Pittsburgh: then for English class we went to see Gone With the Wind . Most of us remember the excitement of working on the Flame and the Senior play at the same time. The play was Growing Pains , presented the eighteenth and nineteenth of April. Eleanor Regotti and Darrel Konter had the leads. And now we are through high school! We have made friends, had good times, worked and played together: and we shall never forget our years in Moon Township High School.
