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.

Beware Seniors! for here is a group, striving to become the best that ever left the portals of Munhall. Under the guiding assistance of Mr. McCarthy, who has proven h'mself the ideal sponsor, the officers: William Carr, president; Dorothy Urban, vice president; and Gail Sivits, secretary, have led their classmen onward to success. Way back in 1937, they entered Munhall High School. Since then, they have accomplished much. They held dances, skating parties, and joined in the activities of various clubs. Several members became valuable assets to the basketball, football and soccer teams. The Junior year presented new thrills. In December, this active class held a successful dance in the gymnasium. But the second semester really started things moving. Under a new system of hall regulation, the Junior cops took their places and did a marvelous job of their new assignments. The candy and milk concessions fell to the Juniors and they presented June Mad” in February. In May a Junior’s fancy turned to—you’ve guessed it—the prom. Seniors and Juniors joined together in this annual climax of the year. Soft lights, sweet music, and girls in pastel gowns were thrills looked forward to and now remembered with joy. The Juniors have accomplished much, but they hope to do a lot more before the doors of Munhall High close behind them in 1941.
