BOOK FOREWORD The ever-fascinating figure ofrlnheseus strides through this issue ofthe Periscope inspiring the pupils of O. l-l. S. to emulate his unconquerahle will to overcome obstacles. just as the Greek lad on attaining manhood lifted the stone to procure his father's sword and sandals, so we mL1St lift the rock of ignorance to iind the sword of wisdom with which to fight our battles in life. Let us hope that there will he an Ariadne of conscience who will help us slay any ugly Minotaur.

There has been developed a system of educational institutions whose pow- er, range, and influence are, perhaps not suf- ficiently realized by the average citizen. During the past one hundred years the state has extended its interest from elementary to secondary, and from secondary to college and university education. Schools must be de- veloped through an adequately trained leader- ship. Without such leadership its enterprises must fail and its contribution to the life of to- day becomes of little or no effect. Our policies will not be completely adjust- ed until we have a new deal in education. The fundamentals of American education must be set up in terms other than the three R's and school book content. The welfare ff of the nation is determined by the quality of its citizenship. Furthermore, in a democracy the quality of leadership in business, in professions, in poli- tics, in inter-national and interracial relations very largely determines the character ofthe national life and national attitudes at home and abroad. There should be a review and restatement of the objectives of education. These times demand of every institution that it check ob- jectives to see that qualities of citizenship and character have an adequate place in plan and practice. The practice of the past in focusing upon subject matter need no defense. A century ago the need of the times was for a higher level of literacy. just as clearly today, the need of the times is for higher level of charac- ter.-W.

S HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF I935 N nineteen hundred thirty, one hundred forty bewildered Freshmen were whirled into the machinery of high school life. For a short time, confusion reigned in their minds, but they soon settled down to regular routine. Only once did they make themselves outstand- ing that year --the freshmen boys walked away with victory in interclass basketball. As Sophomores, the class of thirty-five be- gan to be more important, helping in Book Week with a play, Four Keys to the Library, and sending a member to the Periscope staff as Sophomore Apprentice. Again the boys showed their basketball prowess by defeating the other classes. The third year brought the importance of being upperclassmen with new privileges and responsibilities. In activities, the juniors played an important part, working for Book Week, successfully producing the Periscope, and securing several parts in the Dramatic Club play, Second Childhood. With the prom, the class showed its versatility by being successful in social entertainment. Finally, as Seniors, making their stately way through the year led by james Karns as Presi- dent, they saw members of their group of 103 taking the lead in many school projects. The Oak Leaf was largely taken over and the Senior Toy Mission played Santa Claus to many grateful families. Showing the fulfill- ment of their early athletic promise, several senior boys comprised a very successful basket- ball team. lt Pays to Advertisef, the Dra- matic Club play boasted ten Seniors in its castg a double cast of twenty boys and girls was used in the Senior play, The Nut Farm. All took part in Class Night which ended a crowded year. On june the fourteenth, the class ofnineteen thirty-five in caps and gowns, bade good-by to high school days.

HISTORY OF Tl-IE CLASS OF 1936 N the fall of the year 1932, a large class of green Freshmen made a grand entrance into Oakmont High School. After an exten- sive initiation, they began their conscientious work of making a name for themselves in the Oakmont Hall of Fame. The Freshman Class Assembly program was the initial achievement bringing into the limelight ten entertainers. The fair sex of the freshman class later dis- tinguished themselves in the realm of basket- ball by romping away with the inter-class basketball crown. The sophomore year of this class brought two more groups to the public eye. The boys of this class gained a tie in the inter-class baseball tournament. To finish out the year, six Sophomores presented the one-act play, Sauce for the Goslingsf' sponsored by the Junior Dramatic Club. As juniors, this class had its busiest year thus far. The year opened with an elaborate production of an educational pageant which included forty-six juniors in its cast. The organization of the Class of '36 was held late in November 1934. Under the direc- tion of its officers, and sponsors, the junior- Senior Prom crowned the year socially. The juniors have had the distinct honor of participating during their junior year in three plays produced by the Senior Dramatic Club. In the field of non-dramatic activities, we find the juniors represented on the Oak Leaf staH, and the yearbook staff, composed entirely of juniors, made the Periscope one that will stand out for many years to come. The staff's assembly program this year was one of the most original programs in the history of the Periscope. We must not forget to mention the prow- ess of our junior boys who won basketball fame in 1935 under the name of the junior Varsity Team. As a class, we have entered varied fields and we have one hope, that we shall leave behind memories worthy of '36. JUNIOR OFFICERS President ....... ....................... .....

The Verona game proved to he the high- light of the season and one to he compared with future O. H. S. games, we hope.

S. witnessed this year the best basket- o ball team in years. The cooperative spirit and passwork instilled by Coach Wood captured the enthusiasm ofthe school at the Hrst of the season and held it throughout a long schedule of 25 games, of which 19 were victories. Such a string of victories earned four new trophies, thus necessitating the en- larging of our trophy case. After Hve pre-league games, O. H. S. pass- ers won nine straight games and visions of our first sectional title. However, defeats at the hands of Shaler and Etna forced a play- off game with Etna at the Pitt Stadium. The boys played a wonderful brand of basketball to win Z6-22 and put the team in the Class . . . . Varsity Basketball B, W. P. I. A. L. Tournament to determine the champion of Western Pennsylvania. A never-say-diespiritovercame a nine-point handicap to defeat Monaca, 24-22, in a hotly- contested overtime game in the quarter-finals but a heart breaking loss, 31-30, to East Mc- Keesport in the semi-finals saddened the hearts of the players and students. Never- theless the team was to be praised for doing its very best and putting every effort it had into the game. However the season was not ended for the red and black. After the second team had lost the first game in the Allegheny Valley- Kiski Tournament, the varsity won the next three games to win the consolation tourney and bring back a trophy.

This group, also, had a successful season, winning 12 and losing 7 games. Most of the boys were inexperienced, so the team and its coach, Mr. McCurdy, deserve much credit. After a suitable combination was found, the team won consistently. During the course of Junior Varsity Basketball the season, it won six games in succession, only to lose to Aspinwall, 24-23, in a very ex- citing game.

A good citizen is one who has knowledge, ideals, and good habits. Extra curricular activities are those activities which are not provided for in the school curriculum and which have a very important place in the developing ofthcse ideals and habits. Such activities are not forced but are encouraged in the schools of today. Not long ago the entire aim of the school was to develop the intellect to its highest powers, regardless of the social and physical needs of the individual. The old school set up ideals, however, the twentieth century school not only sets up ideals but also gives the boy or girl opportunities to practice them. In this machine age of shorter working hours, ease oi' transportation, and added lei- sure, the extra-curricular activities in the school aim to direct the future citizen in the intelligent use of his leisure time by widening the range of his interests and contacts, Thus, good citizenship with knowledge and proper interests will be fostered. In as much as these activities are composed of athletics, clubs and publications not sepa- rated from schoolwork,they are mutually com- plimentary and teach cooperation, increase the student's interest in his work, thereby im- proving it, develop his special abilities, and tend to make him more self directive. The extra-curricular activities of O, H. S, are as follows: Periscope, Oak Leaf, Commercial Club, Travel Club, Ilramaric Clubs, Science Clubs, Math Club, Le Cercle Francais, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, Alma Club, Art Club, Y National Honor Society. eriscopt his doNT ff, CLUEJ5 VM N ADTUSCIQNCL isfiiirii s alll' .X xl A 'HQ AN - .SAM V Page 47 THE STAFF Editor-in-chief .... ................

McNall Nineteen years ago the activity list of Oakmont High School was increased by the publication of the first year book, the Periscope. The book was first published by a staff composed of members of all the classes in the high school. However, since 1920 it has been composed entire- ly of members of the junior class and has become one of the biggest projects of that class. A sophomore apprentice is chosen each year by the faculty and the acting staff fwho becomes editor- in-chief the following yearl . Until 1927 the publication received dt some financial aid from the scho 011 .JC .. board but since that year it has been self-supporting and, due to the loyal support of its subscribers and adver- tisers, has continued so, even through the trying days of the depression when so many schools throughout the state have not published a year book. The publication is a member of the Pennsylvania School Press Association which places it among the progressive year books of the smaller high schools of Pennsylvania since, in both 1933 and 1934, it won third place in the state for publications of its size.

M iss Shellaby Oakmont High School's bi-monthly has just celebrated its thirteenth birth- day. Through these thirteen years, the Oak Leaf has sprouted, flourished, and grown until today it is almost a sturdy tree instead of just a leaf. In january of 1924, the Oak Leaf was printed on the ofhce mimeograph. To' day, through the assistance of the School Board, it has its own mimeo- graph, which enables the staff to pro- duce a bigger and better paper. The first Oak Leaf Staff was com- prised of but five members. Today there are twelve members. Contribu- tions are received throughout the year from other pupils in the high school. The paper contains from 8 to 12 pages of helpful, interesting, and enjoyable news, and it is only through the cooper- ation of the student body that the quality and quantity of the publication has been increased. This year of 1935 has been highly successful. Special features have been added to the paper and many times during the year extras have been issued to carry the latest news to O. H. S. students. Today the paper is represented among those submitted to the National Association of Student Editors, an N. E. A. organization for better school publications. j s Qmmwparjwwnfv X' fwvdybflmcff 915, l.,!f'1.,, I-:L LLKVK J-'I 1 . Page 49 'TB - ll Iughv gvisf ml f 0+ b sq' .. .g gaira.

Much of the success of the club this year must be at- tributed to the hard work of the President, Helen Hanus, and to the Chairman of the Program Committee, Camille Haus. A varied program of meetings for the year was planned as soon as the extra curricular schedule was released from the office. Business men addressed the club from time to time, and motion pictures on some phase of business were shown. Two of the regular meetings were planned especially for student participation, and were particularly successful. The high spots in the club's social calendar for the year were the Tenth Street School party and the annual picnic at jones' Pleasure Grounds.

To secure this interest monthly meetings are held featuring travel pictures and travel activities. The requisite for membership which is restricted to junior and senior classes is a kodak or post card collec- tion of travel pictures.

The Day Lincoln Diedl' and Crinoline and Candle, light, one-act plays, were produced for assembly programs. lt Pays to Advertise, a three-act comedy, was the1935 an- nual contribution.

The purpose of the club meeting is to afford an oppor- tunity for the discussion and enjoyment of some phases of mathematics for which there is little time in the regular class sessions. The programs consist of reports on the history of mathe- matics both ancient and modern, biographies ofnoted mathe- maticians, with their contributions to this science, and mathematics in science, nature, music, architecture and art. A part of each program is made up of games and puzzles which afford much amusement as well as practice in quick thinking and ingenuity. Frequent contests furnish drill in useful and important mathematical formulas and facts. OFFICERS President ..,... . ........... Vice President ....... SecretaryfT'reasu're'r ....

Since experience predominated, the group carried on in fine shape with few casualties during the year. Standards are much higher for amateur orchestras than they have been and, keeping that fact constantly in mind, the orchestra of O. H. S. has tried to present only the worth while in music. Early in the year, the pageant, Education Yesterday and Today, gave the musicians a splendid opportunity to show the townspeople what earnest effort and constant practice could do. A Christmas concert at the Methodist Church, several plays, special numbers in chapel, and Commence- ment closed a happy and enjoyable year. Violins: P. Agey, 1. Anderson, P. Argyros, Trumpets: J.

'Til N 1934 the centennial ofthe establishment of the Pennsylvania system of free public schools was celebrated. All over the state the public schools did honor to the founders and defenders of the system, particularly to Thaddeus Stevens who saved the Free School Act from destruction in the General Assembly of 1835. Oalcmont, wishing to have a part in this celebration, presented a pageant, Education Yesterday and Today. Through tableaux and dramatic episodes was depicted the prog- ress of education from the days of the Dame School and Enoch Flower, the first school- master, through the various stages of educa- tion in the state and the town of Oakmont up to the present day. The pageant closed with a tableau representing all the character- istics essential for progress. lPictures on the two following pagesj. ACKNOWLEDGMENT- It has been a privilege for the staff of 1935 to publish this, your year book.

OUR PATRONS Through the loyal aid of its patrons, the Periscope has been self-supporting since 1927, at a time when many other schools did not publish a year book. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those merchants who have made it possible for O. 1-1. S. to pub- lish this, the 19th volume ofthe book. Espe- cially worthy ofmention are those who have advertised since the first Periscope was pub- lished in 1917: E. D. Henke, E, A. Volkwein, W, H. Fisher, Alex Palmer, Oakmont Planing Mill, E. N.

THE BALLAD OF A lt was the night of March the first, Our boys were feeling gay, They thought the game was in the hag Ere it was even played. After the coach gave them a talk On how to win the game, The hoys Went out onto the floor, Eager to gather fame. The ball went up into the air, The ref hlew on his horn, Monaca had scored just like that, But we were not forlorn. BASKETBALL GAME The third quarter was now ended, Nine points we were arrears, But the hoys would not say quits, Nor end the game with tears. Slowly upward went the score Until it was all tied, And, to me, it's very strange None of the excitement died. Our hoys then put in a goal To put them in the lead, And there they stayed until the gun Ended their good deed. Pandemonium hrol-ze loose, Our boys had won the game, And l am one thats sure to say. They really earned their fame. -Hiamu Mcliowx, '36 Page 96 -'a g, YEA' , Q Q I v' H ii- rf I 'Y' Ks 5 I
