Even though he is not a pupil of every teacher, because of the various departments and subjects covered at Munhall, the student soon meets almost every member of the faculty in the more informal aspects of school-life. This is because each teacher feels himself a friend of every student and endeavors to make his school days so pleasant that they will be remembered as one of the happiest parts of his life. The student, to whom the commercial or business world beckons, has dealings with Misses Markey, Berger, Briggs, Groat, Mrs. Nippes, and with Mr. Brand, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Shannon. Under their guidance he becomes familiar with typing, bookkeeping, shorthand and salesmanship. After finishing these studies, he feels capable of overcoming all handicaps that might hover in his path to a successful career. The young lady or gentleman who aspires to be a teacher, a lawyer, or a doctor must cope with the more difficult subjects—languages like Latin, French, and German,

STUDENT MEETS FACULTY Congratulations to the Seniors who have followed through the seasons of Autumn, Winter, and Spring, and who are now at the threshold of a new and interesting season. The seeds of self-confidence, self-reliance, and high ideals which you planted in the Autumn, have germinated and developed through the seasons of study and investigation; you are now about to reap from your cultivation the power to plan your own pattern of life and your own way of living. Today our familiar patterns may be lost, but new ones must be woven in industry, in the sciences, and in the arts. American youth must discover new patterns and fill in the new designs for the American way of life. As the seasons follow, one after another, may you be guided in the weaving of your life patterns by a confidence and a reliance on your own ability to hold to your high ideals. May you also become a creator of your own designs and not an imitator of others. May you, each one, have a happy and an abundant life, and may you, in all things show thyself a pattern of good works”. Sincerely, Earle O. Liggitt Mr. Earle O. Liggitt Superintendent of Munhall Schools Miss Cleopha Mosbacher Secretary to Mr. Liggitt.

STUDENT MEETS FACULTY taught by Miss Rishebergcr, Miss Daly, Mrs. Hill and Mr. Walbert; mathematics ranging from simple algebra to trigonometry, under the instruction of Miss Widdowson, Miss Forrest, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Charlton and Mr. Frantz, (funny, isn’t it, the way they know all the answers?) ; sciences of all types taught by Miss Bollinger, Messrs. Ramsay, Busch, Lacko, and Beggs—all these tend to develop their minds and characters to suit their chosen field. And who has escaped—so to speak—the shackles of English and History? From the first to the fourth year in high school we’ve had verbs and dates expounded to us to such an extent that by now we should have mastered them. Under the competent training of teachers like Misses Rush, Williams, Ball, Frederick, Albert, Keltz, MacBeth, Welsh, Mrs. Trainor, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Dodds, Messrs. Hyatt, Wilson, Cross, Markowitz, and Elkins, we learned about ain’t” and Christopher Columbus.” Then there are those subjects which help one appreciate the finer things of life like music, art, sewing, cooking, shop, and library guided by Miss Cox, Miss Hickey, Miss Howat, Mr. Todd, Mr. Weaver, Mr. McCarthy (not Charlie), and Mr. Asper-schlager. Last we have those that keep us fit. What would we do without Miss Connelly or Dr. Darsie when we had a headache? And how could we learn to dance or play ball if it were not for Miss Barnes, Mr. Rutter and Mr. Oster? For instructing us in these diversified fields of knowledge, we wish to express our feelings not in flowery adjectives but in a simple, heart-spoken Thank you”. Bottom left corner: Mr. M. W.
