From it jumped a cheery Senior, who ran up to the door of a darkened house, set down a basket of toys, knocked, and wished the family a Merry Christmas . This little episode occurred again and again last Christmas Eve. The delivery of the toys gave as much joy to the givers as to the receivers. It marked the end of a period of helpful, happy work. Five weeks prior to this evening, members of the class of '27 had organized themselves into a number of committees who directed the work of the Senior Toy Mission. For the past eight years the Senior classes of O. H. S. have conducted a Toy Mission. Each year the mission is organized with a still greater work to be done. With the organization of these committees the accumulation of a grand conglomeration of toys began. Just how the toys were collected, cleaned, repaired, painted, assorted and delivered is indeed a most interesting story. The publicity committee, Ann Stanley, chairman, was the Hrst to plunge into the work. They went from room to room in the grade schools as Well as the .Junior and Senior Schools announcing that the Senior Class would appreciate any contribution in the form of usable toys. An immediate response from the school children made it necessary for the repair committee, composed of Rick Mortimer, Charles Hibert, Harry Schmidt and a number of assistants, to begin operations. Geraldine Brinley, Frances Crocker and helpers, with Sally Watkins as artist, aided greatly in the repairing of the dolls. Each girl in the class dressed a doll or two at home to simplify the work. Most of the toys needed paint, so William I-Iazlett's painting committee proceeded to make them look like new. With the completion of this work, the assorting began by a number of the most active committee members. Margaret Yeckly arranged all games and puzzles, while Edna Konold supervised the books. After assort- ing and packing, the committee for delivery composed of Egbert Porter, Ed- ward Volkwein, Bob Winchester and James Colledge, delivered the toys on Christmas Eve. With such a system, under the excellent guidance of Miss Ray, one can readily realize how such a vast amount of work was completed. And one can justly call it a vast amount when one considers that there were forty-six boys and girls furnished with toys, and a truck load sent into the Pittsburgh Associa- tion for the improvement of the Poor. The names of these forty-six boys and girls were secured from the district nurse and lower grade teachers by Ed- ward Foote. The French and Math Clubs are to be highly complimented for the assist- ance rendered in their contributions of money. The Hamilton Circle of the Pres- byterian Church aided greatly by the donation of a fine assortment of doll bonnets. The members of the Toy Mission wish to express their sincere ap- preciation for these donations, and to thank every person that was in any way connected with making the mission such a splendid success. 36 'v 71 -... -Q? .-.5 ... 7-1- -. 132.7 - 5 -. 1 .1 - 1- Commencement Activities BACCALAUREATE SIERMON Sunday Evening.

For their leaders they chose Chief, John Berg, medicine man, Robert Barclay, scribe, Frank Chew, and wampum holder, Francis Cannon. At this time all the squaws and braves resolved to explore more deeply than ever in the forests of knowledge, and to keep their Enter To Learn: Go Forth To Serve. The warriors of the Crimson and Gray fought valiantly in football and other sports to uphold the name of the O. H. S. league. There, many of them played valiantly in these sports in an effort to conquer the tribes of '27, '29 and '30. The Juniors succeeded here, for always they were cheerful losers and magnanimous. The tribe of '28 gave, in February, their Hrst pow-wow, copied after the white man's circus, The warriors enjoyed hugely the freaks and animals which were hitherto quite unknown. When the last moon of the term was full, the Junior tribe gave a war- dance to their rival tribe '27 which was soon to pass into its Happy Hunting Ground. That last rite accomplished, the braves of the Crimson and Gray pre- pared to enter into the precincts of Senior territory. They left their .Junior tribal wigwams with new courage derived from the satisfaction of ten moons' work well done. -12 ,-N A T-152?- l Z' ANDERSON -Dimples, herself. ARNOLD -Red, reticent, ruthless.

As younger warriors and squaws we wonder If we ever will be managing the pow-wows And affairs of the great tribe. Nevertheless We looked over the horizon With eagerness and desire: yet on the Other hand fear because the war dances And haunts will be over. As papoose, or Freshmen, we entered With a rush that startled all. But by the time for our first Advancement we had become more settled And were well able to be admitted to The pow-wows. The Sophomore tribe endeavored to Furnish supplies for the athletic hunt In which we were very successful. We also have supplied excellent Material for pageants and Carnivals, Which were given before the critic eyes of The older chiefs and squaws. In all our work We have endeavored to be Worthy Of our tribe and of the ideals for which it Stands. May the Sophomore tribe Progress rapidly and when our tasks Are completed may all be proud of the Warriors and squaws of 1929. 48 TQSIWQFX .. -5 ,-5 ..

Every- one was watching one little section, the section where the Plebes of 1927 were to reside. As yet, no one was to be found in that part: but presently the watchers were rewarded by seeing a few papooses toddling along the road to- ward their assigned wigwams. More began to arrive: some wearily, a few eagerly, many resignedly, but all expectantly. However. as the papooses seemed little different from the ones who had gone before them, interest was soon lost in them. But it was not always thus, for after a time, when the little outline of the tuft of the one-year feather could be seen, things began to happen. Little crowds of future braves were seen, all whispering together and not about the maxims of learning, either. At any rate, when old Sol got up one morning, he rubbed his eyes and decided to see an oculist, for on the roof of the chief meeting house was the caption Plebes l930 . Um--there's something doing-eh. The bevies of squaws, who collected on every corner, laughed and sent admiring glances at the heroic little braves whose chests were so puffed out that if anyone had stuck a pin in them, there would have been a grand explosion. The squaws praised their press-agents and called them He-Indians . But no praising came from the great and marvelous High Chiefs, the supreme rulers of the land. No, this would never do. These, the High Chiefs, frowned and scowled like thunder clouds, while the virtuous High Pow-wow leaders glanced with contemptuous stares and cast just see what you'll get looks at the tribe of Playful Plebes. But, after announcing that there would be no war dances for the fated tribe, or maybe not even a hotdog festival, the High Chiefs thought no more of the matter: the Plebes were vanquished--maybe. Soon the Playful Plebes got tired of the quiet life and the Big Chief. Pull-His-Beard, announced to his squaw, the Black Bottom Champ from Unity, that they would hold a select pow-wow the next day. They did, and Cas they sayl how. None of the High Chiefs were invited so there was much excitement. In the Grand melee. a wooden moccasin was kicked through a window, while Babble Mouth screeched that somebody had stolen her war paint and the chief wood whittler threw all his wood at the Dirty-neck squaw. Then the fun began. When the High Chiefs got through with the Playful Plebes, the poor old sun went behind a cloud, because he couldn't bear to look at such an unhappy time. However, he appeared one day in the bright red and pink striped jacket of Joke-lover Lenox. The High Chief announced that there would be a hot dog festival in June at Rosedale Beach. In due time, the festival was held, and all the braves had a grand time pushing the squaws into the Water. After the event, the Medicine Man made so much money that he bought six new lavendar and green striped blankets. Finally the great day in June arrived, and while some decided to stay in the Plebes' country, many more contemplated moving onward to the land which will some day be famous as the place where once lived the tribes of the Sophs of '28. 52 Studeni Zap fvrtrQS X -....... .-, f- e- QT --waz?-bl - -f - -' I .fwygwr 'MQ' of Q17 jr b f: I ,- N P -'-'-1.

It is entirely the work of the school, being written by the braves and squaws of the school and printed on the tribal mimeograph. This year's magazine has proved to be a great success. The chiefs and teachers have worked together and tried to please every reader. Those interested in literature may find well written editorials. stories and poems. Others desiring athletic news, are provided with such a section. Several news features have been worked out and proved to be very satis- factory. One of these is the joke section. Instead of a few jokes scattered through the paper, a special section is devoted to humor alone. Another new scheme is the question and answer department. This is very interesting as well as educational. Each issue of the Oak Leaf is bound with a very attractive picture cover. On special occasions it has appeared within beautifully colored COVCYS. The Oak Leaf as a whole is steadilyaimproving, and we hope that it will continue to do so. THE STAFF Rhoades McBride, '27 ..,,....,, .......,.

T -S AT --:sara - -J - 1:3 THE OAKMONT HIGH SCHOOL FINANCIAL ASSOCIATION One of the .new features of Oakmonl' High School's extra-curricular pro- gram this year is the method of working out the financial activities of the high school organizations. The Financial System has been inaugurated after much investigation, with findings pro and con. Its first year has been, to a certain extent, an experiment. However, on account of its splendid service, the system is assured of continuance as one of the school's permanent institutions. For several years the Euclidean Society had been trying to inaugurate a method of handling all school finances under one head. Until the present year such a plan seemed an impossibility. The former plan, with some revisions, was presented to the school authorities again this year. They were convinced of its advisibility and readily agreed to the proposed Financial Association. The system has been functioning since October. It has indeed proved its worth. The plan of taking care of linances of all extra-curricular activities is a unique one. Each organization elects its own treasurer, but instead of each club's having a separate bank account, it deposits all its funds with the O. H. S. Financial Association, which gives it credit just as is done in any other bank- ing system. When any club wishes to withdraw a part of its funds, the treas- urer and sponsor of the club sign an order for the money, which order author- izes the School Treasurer to make a check to the payee of the order. The organization itself is composed of the School Treasurer or Cashier and two assistants, a Senior and Junior, who are chosen by the faculty, and a faculty sponsor. Those in charge of the Financial Association during its lirst year were Watson R. Steenburgh, '27, Treasurer: George Fossett, '27, and Bruce Agey, '28, Assistants: and Ethel D. Ray, Faculty Sponsor. 58 1 A -- fa -l 1 --:sara - -I - -' -it THE DR!-XMATIC CLUB Marguerite Ekas, Sponsor First Semester Second Semester President . ,... . , .JACK HARRISON EDWARD VOLKWIFIN Vice-Pres1'denz T .ANNA R.

Its purpose is to interest English students in drama, to supplement the study of English in the classroom, to create a more wide-awake interest in the entire field of literature. and to produce dramatic sketches suited to the ability of the members. The programs have proved very interesting and educational. One-act plays have been produced: among which The Boob and scenes from UDaddy Long Legs both may be recalled as very humorous and amusing, Other features on the program were a meeting devoted to ShaW's life, works, and eccentricities, and lectures by outside townspeople. Perhaps the most notable of the club's enterprises during the past year was the production of a comedy of college life, A Bunch of Fun , on Feb- ruary twenty-fourth. The proceeds of this play were used to complete the payment for a standard moving picture projector, which the club had bought earlier in the year and given to the high school. 59 ' '- A -: - - -1 -' A fs if ee- efwszzee- - -if - -if 1 RADIO CLUB The Radio Club was first organized in 1919. ln 1919 and 1920 the School Board appropriated S150 for new equipment. A three-fourth kilowatt spark transmitter was built and put on the air. When the broadcasting station of music and programs started, the spark transmitter was taken from the air, because of the interference caused by it. After enough money was accumulated to equip a continuous wave trans- mitter, station 9ACiQ was established and operated on a 190 meter wave length. Both voice and code were used, but soon the phone was abolished because it interfered with reception. ln 1914 the government authorized the use of short waves by amateurs. 8AGQ equipped with seven and one-half Watt tubes went on the air with a 40 meter wave length. We communicated with every state in the union, every province in Canada, Mexico. Canada, Panama, Brazil, France. England, and Italy. The Radio Club is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League, and has been appointed an official relay station of the league. lt has received an appointment as amateur station to operate with the signal corps of the army and it is also an auxiliary naval station. 60 - A s- 6 4: M. --vez?-F, - -J - -' -f mf 'bh - f 2' , at . . FRENCH CLUB Five years ago the great French Tribe was organized for the purpose of promoting the study of French. The tribe is now composed of forty braves and squaws, many of whom are new members. Great war-whoops of the braves resounded through the building on October nineteenth. The Hrst meeting of the year was to be held. They have been held monthly ever since. At every council the roll was called, stories told, songs sung, and a play presented. Each program showed careful planning and hard work. One of the great looked-for events of the season was the Christmas meet- ing. A lengthy program was presented, consisting of an opening address by the vice president, songs by several of the girls, a Christmas poem, two very interesting plays, and a dance. After this was over, the members and visitors adjourned to the gymnasium where the fun began! Games were played, re- freshments served, and gifts distributed by Le Petit Noel. In April the new members will be initiated, and the annual picnic will be held in May. The Tribe held a literary contest this year. First and second prizes were awarded to the persons writing the best story, poem, or play. These prizes were distributed at the Christmas council. The tribe is very grateful to Chief Mlle. McNall for her splendid support and her untiring efforts to make the club bigger and better. The members extend their heartfelt thanks to her. Miss Lillich is to be thanked for her kind interest in the organization. 61 A T -g'f'T T - tif, -iL3.?1?f11 -- ' ' - ' l X Tl-Ili LATIN CLUB The year l926fl927-has proved a successful one for the Latin Club. Although it was only the second year of its organization, the club has become very lively, and with the never failing aid of Miss Hamilton, the programs have become very interesting. The purpose of the club is to promote the student's interest in Latin and to supplement the work of the classroom. At the December meeting, 'AThe Conspiracy of Catiline , a play, was given by the members. The play not only illustrated the manners, custom, and dress of the Romans, but also afforded training in dramatic Latin. The club adopted the fasces, the ancient symbol of authority and power, as their insignia, Miss Hamilton had these sent from Rome, making the pins more symbolic of the club. Later in the year'a playlet was given by the Sophomore classes, known as the Equites. A party, to which every one is looking forward with great anticipation. will bring an end to this successful year.

His tepee, pottery, baskets, blankets, and even life itself are all closely related to geometry, and show his love for it. At one of the meetings this year, we learned how much we owe to Indian art and inventions. They have contributed many of our most beautiful designs. The club studies geometry in nature, in architecture, and in construction. A study of the history of mathematics, of the lives of mathematicians and their contributions to geometry, algebra, and advanced mathematics are also a part of the club's program. The meetings are enlivened by puzzles, contests, and games, which provide much amusement. The O. I-I, S, Financial Association, mentioned elsewhere in this book, originated With, and is sponsored by, the club. The society is justly proud of the work that is being done under this system. Much of the success of the handling of the school's finances is due to the activities of the school treasurer and his assistants. The officers of the club for the Hrst semester were: President, Watson Steenburgh: Vice President, William Hazlett: Secretary, Emma Fossetg and Treasurer, Rose Rupert. Those elected to serve during the second semester were: Rose Rupert, President: Winston Dudley, Vice President, George Fossett, Secretary: and Rietzen Mortimer, Treasurer. 63 f' :-,--.-1.--'l9.2Z.'- -..-' - iff CHEMISTRY CLUB The Thothians, a tribe in the realm of the Hermetic Art, have accounted for their first year of existence, under the guidance of Mr. Grimes. and his three co-operative assistants Roy Bossert, John Stuart, and Frank Chew. The magnetic attraction of the tribe, distinguishing it from the various others, is in the qualities of mystery and tenuity, which are signified in scien- tihc objectives. The highest aim of the tribe is to be of service to those worth- while individuals who are interested to the extent of strengthening their knowl- edge of things around them. The meetings have taken place periodically, that is, the first Tuesday of every month. Excellent programs consisting of moving pictures, experimental demonstrations, and talks on little known subjects, are customarily the ob- jectives of the meetings. The attendance of these programs, and the ever in- creasing membership have proved undoubtedly that the aim of the tribe has been reached. All the Thothian members wish to extend their heartiest appreciation and thanks to Mr. Grimes for his time and excellent leadership which have made the tribe an active part in the special activities of Oakmont High School. 04 A - fa -Q K. --lS2.7--A - -J - -' I JUNIOR DRI-XMATIC CLUB One of the largest tribes organized this moon, was the tribe which goes by the name of the Junior Dramatic Club. This organization is made up of young braves and squaws who are greatly interested in dramatics. They were organ- ized separately from the tribe termed the Senior Dramatic Club, since the wrinkled braves and squaws desired to study higher dramatics than the minds of the younger tribesmen could grasp. In our Hrst pow-wow, the braves and squaws elected three leaders who are our council of war together with our Big Chief, under whom the above council meets. The tribe has participated in several pow-wows, the main features of which were dramatizations. During the second moon, our council decided to portray Silas Marnern. The council working with the Big Chief soon dramatized the novel in such a a way that all seemingly enjoyed it. All praised the efforts of the tribe in making the dramatization such a worthwhile one. After this whooping affair, the members of the cast joined in a war dance at the Wigwam of one of our noted squaws. The tribe meets on every Thursday of every moon in a Wigwam where an interesting program is carried out. consisting of various sketches and ad- dresses. The regular pow-wow is sometimes varied by a theatre party which is most enjoyable. 65 .N --l82?-Q Autographs 60 M113 Q 4' by ig-f Zi f'x' 5 Z1 WAN f 1 1 JI A QQ!! 41 X zzz! 71' Nw M 'fm v 5 ff 1 f i-'Q ,,. .01 Y, x 1 ff -ff.f?f'f 4 if F , jgfff- 4 . f . f 'ff 1 gg? jf g n 4 L- x 5 ' fxnrlwq V597 1 4.321 , , ,, ' tlj Q 'X f LIAQAQ, K' ' ul, ,. y U, m -.X rf' Q.

' , V , GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Cilee Club is one of Oakmont High School's most popular organi- zations. It is composed of girls from the four high school classes. The club meets every Wednesday the fifth period. The Glee Club appeared on several occasions during the year. Although much classical music is sung, the club presented popular songs for the chapel- goers. The girls took an active part in the Christmas Cantata. They hope to appear again in the seventh annual concert. Early in the year, try-outs for membership and classification are made. The girls are grouped and assigned certain places which they keep for the rest of the year. The club thanks Miss Moot. for under her direction it has grown to be one of Oakmont's outstanding organizations, 70 :-Q. .N 1 T - - - . ...

Every Monday during the fifth period, the club meets in the auditorium. The Glee Club has appeared in chapel several times, and along with classical selections, it has presented humorous songs for the amusement of the student body. The club participated in the Christmas Cantata in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club, The boys' club has try-outs similar to those of the girls. After the club is organized, two-part songs are often practiced. These are practically all presented in chapel. Miss Moot is the helper and friend to this club, She is to be congratulated for such excellent glee clubs, 71 6 +11 --ISZZ-gg - -' Acknowledgment We, the staff of the Periscope of Twenty-seven here express to all our friends, our appreciation of the numerous ways in which they have contributed to the success of this annual. THF STAFF ibm ts - - 6 -S H. --waz?-1 - -2 - -' 1 fluff the 75 Football When twenty-three men are taken from a football team, the majority of them letter men, the prospects for the following season are not very encourag- ing. With such fate meted out to them, the Oakmont High gridders embarked on the 1926 season by meeting Sharpsburg. Although outplaying their rivals in all departments, the Oakmonters seemed to be doomed for defeat. However. with a few minutes to play, Berg, fleet-footed left-half, dashed forty yards to score, enabling Oakmont to tie the count 7-7. With such fair success, the Red and Black warriors invaded foreign ter- ritory the following week and tackled Ben Avon. Both teams played equally well but the breaks went to the home team. Twice Ben Avon, through virtue of blocked punts, crossed Oakmont's goal, while our lads accomplishing the feat but once finished short on the l7--7. With the wound of defeat still unhealed, the Oakmonters traveled to Apollo to meet the highly touted Kiski Valley eleven. The game was all Apollo. Oakmont, with Bryson, Pemrick and Berg fought valiantly but were hopelessly outclassed and could not withstand the 72-0 defeat. Still seeking victory, Oakmont encountered Parnassus on the home Held. The visitors unleashed a crushing aerial attack which netted them two touch- downs the first half. The Red and Black gridders came back strongly and scored. The rally was too late however, and Parnassus left the field with a 20-7 victory. This game however, was later awarded to Oakmont as a result of Parnassus playing an ineligible player. The following week brought with it the big game--the game with Verona. Undoubtedly it was the best of the season, Both teams fought well. Frack, playing at fullback for the first time, was the big star for Oakmont. Time and again he penetrated this opponents' line, but to no avail. Verona also presented a stellar performer in Frazier, who scored both his team's touch- downs. It was late in the game when Oakmont finally succeeded in scoring. Berg, due to the splendid interference given him by his team-mates, scored his fourth touchdown of the season. Once again, however, the spurt was too late and Verona, after five years, were the 13-7 victors over their ancient rival. The Arnold game was a listless contest, neither team showing any clever playing. Oakmont was weakened considerably in this game and once more found herself on the low end of the 25-O count. North Braddock, reputed as a powerful squad, invaded Scaife's Bowl. The rumor was seemingly ill-founded, for it was soon seen that the invaders were in poor physical condition compared to our men. North Braddock like all other of our opponents piled up an early lead and won the game 20-O. 74 f A f TK -- -i. --sszrel - -J - -' : Me., '1 ,L l L1 1' . .l . 5 If x . U V 2. Y . 4, The last game, played with Aspinwall, was probably Oakmont's worst exhibition. The old fighting spirit seemed to have vanished, making the game listless and uninteresting. Aspinwall, an undefeated team, showed a tricky attack and twice scored on the outcome of a faked pass: helping them to win 32-O. The season could hardly be called a successful one in regard to victories in games, but the fact that the team could, time and time again take defeat gloriously and with good sportsmanship, assures us that in reality there was victory in defeat. With eight men returning, under the leadership of Captain Agey, we may be assured that next season we will again have a team that will do its best and fight to the finish. Lineup: L.E. F, Chew, M.

The Alumnae, presenting a strong array of former' stars, somewhat dampened the spirits of our girls when, as a result of Bissett's stellar play, they inflicted a two-point defeat. With their confidence slightly shaken the girls encountered North Braddock and found little difficulty in emerging as victors. Our forwards, Anderson and Restelli, proved to be too much for New Kensing- ton, whose team was vanquished with little effort. Looming up as Oakmont's most dangerous foe, Edgewood, favored as the coming champions, invaded the home floor. Miss Webb's sextette had found their match, and despite the fact that they played well, were forced to admit defeat. With renewed determination, however, Oakmont set out to avenge their first league defeat. Swissvale and Aspinwall prsented little oppo- sition, and as a result two more victories were added to the total of the local girls. Verona, our ancient rival, invaded, hoping to break our girls' winning streak, but soon found it to be a discouraging task. Oakmont's defense func- tioned admirably, and Verona went home wishing there was some truth in the common saying The first time doesn't count . With half the season completed, New Kensington was again encountered, and although they played a better brand of basketball, than in their nrst ap- pearance. they were still unable to check Oakmont's ravaging assaults, The North Braddock game brought out clearly the strength of the Red and Black's defense. Three points were all the visitors could amass, and, as a result, they were ingloriously defeated. There followed the important game with Edgewood. With chances to even the count, with their only conquerors in the league, Oakmont was ready to give all they had for victory. Our forwards were unable to play up to their usual standard but nevertheless scorned to quit. As the game wore on, Oak- mont saw her chances for the championship being slowly but surely obliterated. Edgewood was not to be denied, and, when the final whistle blew, they had beaten a worthy opponent, good losers and fighters to the end. With no hope of winning the coveted prize, the Oakmonters continued their stellar play and after taking decisions from both Swissvale and Aspinwall, finished the season in a blaze of glory with victory over Verona. Miss Webb is to be congratulated on producing such a team. Prospects for the coming season are bright, since only three of the girls will be lost by graduation, and who knows but that next year the elusive championship may come our way? 76 N, 1327- - -S - -' LINEUP Forwards-Rcstelli LCapt.1, Dccds Guards-Tiers, Fossett Forwards-Anderson, Thompson Guard-Swoger Center-Dcgitz, Caldwell Side Center-King RECORD Alumnae 31 Oakmont Z9 N.

For almost a month Coach Marshall drilled his men in an effort to make the best of a very limited array of talent. With Captain Edwin Reed the only regular left from the last year's team, it was apparent that the coach would have no easy time trying to rebuild a winning team. A strong Alumni team offered the opposition in the opening game. The boys took them into camp to the tune of 21-15. Prospects for the season looked bright. After this game the offense of the Red and Black went into hiding until the final games of the season. This missing offense-accounted for the losses to North Braddock and Wilkinsburg, who were able to score but a few points while our boys scored fewer. New Kensington and Edgewood admin- istered defeats while our five were still having trouble in locating the basket. In the Aspinwall contest Oakmont showed signs of offensive strength, but the fates were against us and the enemy was again returned the victor. The improved form evident in the Aspinwall game continued to linger with the team long enough for them to turn in a victory over the Springdale five. The next contest was the annual encounter with our arch rivals, Verona. This game was closely contested and finally went to the opponents after a bitter light. During the second half of the schedule the Oakmonters threw a scare into the ranks of several of the opponents, but the old field goal was not able to make his appearance at opportune moments, and you know, dear readers. it takes Held goals to win. Oakmont bowed to Aspinwall, Edgewood, and North Braddock in order before they recovered in time to take over Springdale for the second time. And then came revenge! With the Oakmont offense and defense operat- ing perfectly the team subdued Verona in their own back yard. This victory took the bitterness out of the many defeats of the season. 78 L. ,N N 3523 K 3- - -1 LINE-UP liorwardsh-Volkwein, Foote, Stewart, Bryson. Guards-Walker, Pem- rick, Capt. Reed.

The season was opened with the boys' playing against the strong and much more experienced Vkfilkinsburg quintet, who won by a large margin. The second game, however. saw Oakmonts reserves play a brilliant game to defeat the Edgewood team. Their winning streak was short lived, however, and the following three games resulted in their opponents' favor. Nevertheless, determined to close the season with a triumph, the Oak- monters tackled Springdale and by virtue of their splendid defense, left the floor with a second victory. Although the reserves did not make such an impressive record, they dis- played some clever talent, which will figure prominently in the building of next season's varsity squad.

The game was hard-fought and well played, the Senior boys winning by the score of ll-7. With such success in the first half of the schedule, the Seniors found the remaining part rather easy-going and finished with a clean slate.

The game was attended by a large and enthusiastic audience. The Senior sextette soon confirmed the general expectation that their team would be of championship caliber. Looming as the second choice, how- ever. the Juniors fought well in the effort to avert the l'9-ll defeat, which was meted out to them. In their second game the Seniors found little difliculty in downing the Sophomores. Out of oblivion, however, the Freshmen girls arose with two victories to their credit and determined to give the upper class- men a tussle for the honors. The two teams clashed, but what was expected to be a close and fiercely contented battle proved to be a disappointment. The Freshmen, inexperienced to the trying situation, found themselves unable to offset the attack of the Seniors, who won by a large margin.

With athletics attaining such prominence in our school, it was of course necessary to have some organization which could take care of financial troubles accompanying sports. The association consists of Mr. Keister, Mr. Gilmore, the two coaches, Miss Webb and Mr. Marshall: a representative from the school board and two students elected each year by the student body. In previous years the school board specified that the secretary of the prin- cipal be the one who took care of the money matters, acting as a treasurer, but this year by the new financial system of the school, it was necessary to give over the control of the money to one of the elected student representatives. The students take charge of all the ticket sales. Each year special rates are offered in season tickets. By this means some money is obtainable to start off the seasons. Usually there is enough left over from football to start the basketball season. This latter season is generally the most successful one of the year, and it provides enough to carry on spring athletics. If the spring athletic season is successful, there will be a balance in the treasury which is carried on to the following year. Because of the purchasing of new equipment last year, the balance of our treasury in the fall was positively nihil. We have tried hard this year to make this up and hope to have enough money to start our next year successfully. 83 A .T 'fa ff -T.--ISZPFA - -J - -' -f -i l' 9'7 K L .. . ,E . , .... ..... W.. BOYS' VARSITY TRACK When the powers that be decided that Oakmont was not to have a base- ball team, the entire attention of the boys was turned to track. The past season in this sport had been quite successful. As is generally the case, several of the high point winners of the squad were graduated, but fortunately a few such stars as Captain Millheim, Brewer, Quelch, Milligan, Walker, Hood, Stewart,, remained. These veterans formed a nucleus around which the coaches have been able to mould a promising outfit. The inter-class meet was run on April 29th in ideal football weather. The Seniors, who possessed the most experienced Cinder path performers, carried off the honors quite handily. The Freshmen, Juniors, and Sophomores fol- lowed in order. Verona was next met and conquered after a hard struggle, 59-55. At the present writing the team is looking forward to meets with Swissvale, New Kensington, Shadyside Academy, in addition to the W. P, l. A. L., County, and Valley meets, with good prospects and fond hopes. S4 :+ .-. ' ... 1 - - 1 - .... - ',.

We have plenty of material for both boys' andlgirls' teams, but no courts. M Bad weather and low funds have conspired to keep the new courts at Tenth street in an unfinished condition, so we will play no home matches this year. A limited number of matches will be played away from home, in- cluding Wilkinsburg. Turtle Creek, and Crafton. While the personnel of neither team has been decided upon at this writing, the most promising candidates are: Natalie Thompson, Betty Welsh, Mary Seaver, Grace Deeds, Mary Restelli, Dorothy Tiers, Edward Foote, Edward Volkwein, Frank Campbell, and Joe Tomlinson. It is to be hoped that the new courts will be finished by next year so that we can more successfully carry on this important sport. 85- r-, ,E 1 -, .. - .. .1 1 T - ... f - T- fi f, -asa?-. - -S - -' -1 'THE LEADERS' CLUB The Leaders' Club was organized last year for the benefit of the high school girls who were A students in Physical Training. It was continued this year with an additional condition, that it included the girls who were be- coming physical training teachers. The girls have done excellent work in class throughout the year. Some have demonstrated their training in the Exhibition this year, others by con- ducting several classes for Miss Webb. In fact, the club has proved a great success for the two years that it has functioned, and it is to be hoped that it will continue to do so. 86 QUTQS X 1. ff A I, - 4 , x X fxN5M av' XXxX Q S I yqf ' X '-D L Ka 1 Q 1 s I 4 .
