These boys and girls are the builders of the democracy of the future. lt is they who will influence the policies of our country and govern the land accordingly. It is they who will undertake to interpret, in the true American spirit, what our fore- fathers left the shores of England to establish: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be thankful as never before that we are a part of such a nation. Our ideas are being formed in schools unequaled in all the world, in schools where teachers guide rather than dictate, where each pupil is an individual personality rather than a victim of a dictatorship. ln schools where a realistic education is based on scholastic achievement, vocational guidance, and wholesome recreation, the interests of the stu- dent are not unlike those of the whole population of a democracy. Just as an adult en- ioys freedom of press, freedom of speech, free assembly and petition, so does the high school boy or girl. In their school life they have the privilege of reading all types ot books and periodicals. of discussing world as well as personal problems, and of peti- tioning to the principal. Personal liberties are guaranteed by the constitution in our democracy. A dictator wipes out every opportunity of self-expression or initiative. The individual becomes a robot. y Oakmont schools interpret, as far as possible, the idea of democracy. The town has done much toward training its boys and girls for their responsibility as members of a democratic government. Through their academic works, they are offered a healthy mental background for future participation in government. Through the Commercial Department they have the privilege of developing their inclinations toward the busi- ness world. The Manual Arts and Home Economic Department form a nucleus for future activities, and sports and physical education teach clean living and healthy so- cial relationships. School life, as a whole, in Oakmont, as in most any other American high school, helps youthful citizens to live happily with each other and to be ready to do their bit for the progress of the American way of life. ln other words, they learn to live. -Nancy Reed, Editor 'ft3'i'5i' .z1..'f ' ffP5i5?i'1w.'fi:P:ffs2i'.E::ff2:Pwfffs1- ' sg-.-fr--v12- '- 1'121'.ffl,fs-if 1 .wwf- Txit- W E' fir' .1 'Leif il-3f,I,',Tl ppreciate the American way of life Two Advantages ,oi Being an American . ff: The Cpportunlty to Learn Because the men that tirst helped make America wanted a democ- racy,-a government ot the people, where the rich and poor would share alike. they made Americatree and gave to you and me the privilege ot twelve years ot tree education and every means to at- tain our ambitions-an opportunity offered in no other country ot the world.-lvl.

FAWCETT . I 2 A High School Student's Debt To His Country Our country is engaged in one of the greatest crusades of all times-the defense and preservation of democracy. For years we have enioyecl its rights and privileges, but the time has now come when more emphasis and consideration must be placed upon its obligations. Democracy is not self- perpetuating: it must have the willing. undivided attention and support of those who live under it and enioy its benefits. High school students are greatly indebted to the demo- cratic way of life tor, were it not for clemocracy's belief that an intelligent citizenry is one of the bulwarlcs of defense. many would not be privileged to enioy the advantages of a secondary education. The obligations created by such an opportunity are many. and their fulfillment must not be ignored or treated with indifference. Democracy has the right to expect that each of its trained members will be able to think clearly, to choose wisely, to act courageously, and to serve effectively. Good Health. Makes Better Citizens Few people appreciate good health until they do not have it: consequently they do not realize how much the health department of our school system does toward keeping its boys and girls in trim and thereby tending to build better citizens for our town and country. Extra special credit, and thanks, too, for the weelc's vacation, is due these four health specialists for their excellent work during the flu epidemic last winter. MARY W. HAMILTON, R.N. A JANICE F.

My mind's a blanlc, school is dull, this' study's boring, and I want to go home. Do you lcnow what goes on in the Cathedral ot learning?-! l'II give you a bell by bell description ot one day. Our tirst period is devoted to calisthenics and dancing. We try desperately to swing it and, ot all things, to the tune ot The Merry Widow Waltz. Whew! lt's exhausting. Then we cross the hall ot tame to receive the encouragement ot Mr. Wood, tor soon we too will blossom into chemists. But lmaybe you've noticed! contidentially, it stinks! My third period is an uneventtul study. Snatch, snatch, snatch, space! lt's still Miss Saclcter's tavorite ex- pression in any typing period. Home! Lunch! and baclc. Time tor English which occupies the space between our ears during the 'tit 'AT X titth. Mrs. Eoster's pet phrase and my pet peeve is, Do all E papers over! Everyone has heard about our terrible Junior Class meetings. There are some antagonistic radicals under the auditorium root these sixth periods, and honestly, when the president calls tor a discussion, it's actually funny. Arguments aren't uncommon and petty quarrels rank high on the list ot entertainment. At the sound ot the bell, Amer- ican History is relived. lt it isn't dates, it's men, and it it isn't men, it's wars. The bell peals again, and it's farewell to arms. ln the spring a young man's tancy turns to love is a grand old saying. No iunior has any love at any season tor the eighth period subject, Algebra. Atter torty-tive minutes ot X's and I Y's and wh they're equal to something else, we're dismissed tlor another day. Tomorrow, you say Ditto! 'At 1 So long, .

Fair Play Builds For Better Citizenship Good sportsmanship is one ot the basic ideals ot democracy. This characteristic has always been the keynote of athletics at O. H. S. Ever since l92O, when the Red and Black played its tirst home game on the tield, which was then Edgewater Park. our school has succeeded in being fair and square on the gridiron. Although our teams have otten been on the wrong end ot the score. they have always tried to be good losers. Even the Verona games, played annually since l92 I, have been characterized by good sportsmanship, although these two teams have been the bitterest rivals. Our school has a right to be proud ot this record. Figures Show a Good Record Oalcmont ............... 6 Oalcmont ..... ..... O Oalcmont ..... ..... I 2 Oalcmont ..... . . . 6 Oalcmont ..... .....

Underwood Summary of Football Season Shows Great lmprovement September 20, I94l, was a day long to be re- membered in the annals ot Oakmont High School tootball. On that day the school, led by the band resplendent in new unitorms, opened a most success- tul season by deteating an experienced East Pitts- burgh team on the home tield. Oakmont's score came as a result ot a blocked kick recovered on the seven-yard line. The most exciting game ot the sea- son was with Aspinwall on the latter's home tield. Oakmont led at the end ot the third quarter by a sate twelve to nothing score. Aspinwall made a thirty-nine-yard dash to the twelve-yard line against the second team. Even our tirst team which returned to the game could not stop their rally, and Aspin- wall scored in two plays. Again they took the ball and marched down halt the tield tor the second tally, and Oakmont lost a heartbreaker. Forgetting the previous deteat, the eleven beat Shaler 6-0. Eaton scored on a thirty-eight-yard run. Then the boys showed they had what it takes by Coach Heller checks his men during the half. beating Pitcairn I8-O. The score ot the next game tells another tale ot victory: the touchdown came as the result ot a torty-yard pass trom Flowers to Pop- pish. Because ot a pass interception by Celo, Oak- mont scored against Springdale on a line buck by Flowers, the 'final score read Oakmont 7, Spring- dale O. At last the game with Verona! Handicapped by the loss ot Mauro and Eaton and the injury ot Fabian during the game, the boys were still able to hold Verona to a scoreless tie. A highlight ot the game was when Oakmont held Verona tor tour consecu- tive downs on the one-yard line, and so completed a most successtul season with a tie game. ' On December 4, the whole squad enioyed a grand feed sponsored by the Lion's Club. The boys lucky enough to be seniors were presented with red sweaters during this gala attair. A trophy tor be- ing voted the most valuable man on the team is one ot Eddy Flowers' cherished possessions. J YP! 5 3 Q If lx xi iv iw QS gig New Y if Yi Q .N nl O. H. S. Golf Team ls Taps 5114 S.

This year the orchestra has again brought enjoyment to O. l-l. S. students by providing 'them with music and recreation. Under the able direction of Miss Moot, the orchestra has played at assem- blies, Children's Theater plays, and commencement activities and has always made a time showing. Al- though the students have not realized it, the or- chestra has become an integral 'factor ot l-lf S. -in other words, school would not be the same without music. Christmas and Easter with no carols or jubilant spring music! No indeed! Not at O. H. S. Any stu- dent will gladly tell you how much the student body appreciates the work done by Miss Moot and the special chorus. Special Chorus Members SPECIAL CHORUS MEMBERS-First Row: A. Jones, M.

A Freshmanis Definition ol a Senior A senior is a Two-legged animal whose habifaf is in The corridors and classrooms of O. H. S. This animal prowls around The Town siallring his prey, which many Times is a freshman. These bipeds someTimes have swelled heads, noT from a headache or a blow on The Cranium, buT from so much so-called knowledge .... Freshmen envy The seniors due To The Tacl' Thai' They can drive A aufomobiles, ilirl' wiTh freshmen girls. spend money like waTer, receive diplomas, and dance so well .... Seniors can be recognized by Their loud socks, arisTocraTic man- ner, and perfecT English. Freshmen, beware of seniors! They are very dangerous --Wm. McKim, '44, Senioris 0deH To a Freshman The Freshman comes To high school 'lull of many crazy noiions. He quieTly sil's and waTches and plays on your emoTions. The Teachers are a group of gods, whom he musl' Treal' wiTh care. The Sophomores are a bunch of nuTs, who chase him here and There. The classes are so diiTerenT wifh all Their informal sTaTe. The ireshie really begins To like all Those Things he ThoughT he'd hafe. The Junior, To our Freshman, is a quife incliiifereni' cuss. Whose air of superioriiy he'd sorfa like To muss.
