THEY COORDINATED HOME AND SCHCOL MISS FISHER MISS DUFFY MRS. MOWATT Home-School Visitor Attendance Secretary Supervisor of Testing lf a square were changed to a circle of the opposite color with lines perpendicular to the diameter, what would a triangle, similarly changed, become? Remember such brain- teasers? By inquiring a bit, you would have found that Mrs. Mowatt, a newcomer from Pitts psychology department, was responsible for all those rather baffling psychological tests. She also gave individual personality and vocational apti- tude tests. Her schedule included the evaluation of tests of the elementary schools and a survey of college work done by Mt. L. graduates. . .,.. . ELLA B. ION Vice Principal When Miss Fisher left for Slippery Rock State Teachers' College, Miss Gordon came from the Iunior l-ligh to be our Home-School Visitor. As Miss Gordon said, her work was chiefly to make friendly home calls and extend a cordial welcome to new families in the community who enter stu- dents in our schools. lt was Miss Gordon who would phone or call at our homes when We were ill to offer sympathy and any possible assistance. She also helped check attendance and issued work certificates to job-hunting students. l have to stop at the Attendance Office. How many of us have said that when we wanted to plan our courses, to have our schedules changed, to get back into school after an absence or even to get back into classl lt was Miss lon, our busy vice-principal, who answered our questions. Be- sides planning the schedules for about twelve hundred of us students and fifty-one teachers, Miss lon sponsored the Class Rank and Achieve- ment Committees and the Attendance Squad. This year she added the new task of arranging those classes for Messenger Training and First Aid as a part of civilian defense. Miss Duffy, Miss lon's faithful secretary, helped to manage the Attendance Squad, com- posed of about twenty-five girls, who collected and filed the attendance cards and kept track of all our comings and goings.

' oun PRINCIPALS SPEAK Secretaries Miss Medinq and Miss Hill Miss Hill and Miss Meding, whose faces were familiar to most of us, acted as school secretaries for the year i942-43. Despite more important duties they were always ready with a smile to answer our countless questions, OK. our excuses, or lend us money for lunch. Headquarters Eleventh Armored Division Office of A. C. of S.. G-2 Camp Polk, La., Feb. 15, l943. Dear Friends: More than two years have passed since my departure from the friendly halls of Mt. Lebanon High School. One of my keenest satisfactions during that time is the splendid manner in which the sons and daughters of the old school have ac- quitted themselves in this time of national emergency.

Lebanon High School will always be represented with valor, virtue and truth where e'er the task may lie or whatever it may be. Sincerely yours, LEWlS E. PERRY. Lt. Col., G.S.C., A. C. of S., G-2. R.

STUDENTS PRACTISED DEMOCRACY EXECUTIVE BOARD OFFICERS SCHROEDER ...----.-............... Vice President OWEN ..--... - - -President Spring Semestcr MURRAY- - . ---- President Fall Semester FEISLEY . . . ............. Secretary STUDENT COURT lf you ever got a little slip saying, Report to Student Court, Room 5, it was a sure sign your case was being brought up. Anything from chewing gum in class to breaking a window was tried by this law-conscious eight sponsored by Miss Taylor. The members of the court, com- posed of one member of the lower classes and two from each of the Senior classes, settled dis- putes either by arbitration or by a stiff sentence. The court was a rather young organization, hav- ing been started in April of '42, Some days there were no trials, other times the jury and judges were overworked! The court tried cases Tuesday after school and the judges and other court mem- bers had a closed conference Monday in ac- tivities period. So beware, kids- crime does not pay! EXECUTIVE BOARD The meeting will now come to order. Will the secretary please read the minutes of the last meeting. With these words, Executive-Boarders went into another of their weekly huddles. Business ranged from formation of a new squad to drafting of workers for the next dance. Under Miss Taylor's guidance, however, all was efficiently, effectively cleared up. Aside from sponsoring various school functions, E. B. announced formation of the Achievement Committee and the Medical, Girls' Gym, and Home Room Bulletin Board Squads. The Rifle Club was elevated to the status of other Mt. Lebo A athletics. All 'n all, Executive-Boarders from 12A to lOB, had quite a snappy time of it but did a swell job of keeping our A. M. ticking smoothly. STUDENT COURT FIRST ROW fseatedlz Miss Taylor, Lichty. SECOND ROW: Strickler, Briant, Schroeder. THIRD ROW: Metly, Lewis. EXECUTIVE BOARD FRONT ROW: Steele, l.
