Text from Pages 1 - 164 of the 1932 volume:

FOREWORD jIME, unheeding, rolls up in our memories the barriers of the years. So, do we strive, through this unpretentious book, to record, in a meagre way, a permanent history of the life and activities of our Class of Thirty-two. [ ■ 9 . 3. 2 NSMRINED in the hearts of the Senior Class ... a teacher, friendly yet unprejudiced; a critic, severe yet kindly; a woman, intelligent without vaunting. To her we owe much. Never as a reward, but rather as an appreciation, we dedicate this annual of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-two to Miss Rose Meditz.

It is our firm belief that no one could have filled the job of President any better than “Herb. May he do as well in all he undertakes. A handsome, all-around fellow, popular with both sexes. How about it, girls? FLORENCE McCULLOUGH “Flo” Vice-President of the Senior Class; Junior Play; Junior Play Committee; Senior Play; Dramatic Club Plays; Commencement Play; Operetta 4; Debate Team; Junior Prom Committee; F'rench Club; lle-Square Club; Senior High News; Oil Can Staff. Here is one of the popular members of the class both in activities and with the boys; especially with a certain gentleman by the name of Bud. Flo’s work in the class has been very valuable and she certainly did her utmost for the betterment of the class. DOROTHY HODGE “Dot” Secretary of Senior Class; Student Council 3, 4; Oil Can Staff; Junior Nominating Committee; Commencement Play. Who ever thought this demure young lady would turn out to be a heartbreaker? But that is precisely what she has done. Dot is one of the best liked girls in the class of ’32, and we feel certain that whatever she decides to do will be of great worth. HAROLD HILTON Treasurer of Class 4; Editor-in-Chief of Oil Can; Chairman of Oil Can Committee; Student Council 4; Junior Play; Senior Play; F'rench Club; Senior Orchestra. As can readily be seen Harold is one of the busiest and most popular members of the Senior Class. He has been blessed not only with the ability of leadership, acting and scholarship, but with good looks as well. As a good all-around student and the friend of everyone, he has made a great success of his high school career. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ EVA ACKLIN Basketball 1. 2 We don’t need to say much about Eva for everybody knows her, She was one of our feminine basketeers in t he good old days. When you see Eva you can be sure Evelyn is nearby and they are heading for Naomi’s. WAYNE ACKLIN “Flap-Ears’ Football I, 2, 3 Varsity' 3. Yes sir, Wayne is Eva’s darling (?) brother. We haven’t the slightest idea what Wayne will do when he leaves school, but he will do something we’re sure. Wayne might even get married and help Gump run the Malt Shop. BETTY JANE ALLEN “Bee Jay” French Club. Latin Club. Basketball 2. Why Betty Jane ever took Virgil and why her recent interest in Trinity C hurch are two things we’re wondering about. Anyway, she’s a good sport and a load of fun. EDGAR ALLEN “Ed’ P. D. Club Just imagine a nice young man making the daily trip from the rural district to our metropolis just for the sake of being with us, our teachers and our lady friends. We wonder how he manages to get here in his Dodge but he seems to get here and he also gets here on time. ALBERT AMORE “Jale” Tumbling Team. '31. Football. '31. How would you like to be called “President of the Wittest of Wits?’’ Well, this little fellow has to stand all that, and if you think it’s easy, well— ask him. BEATRICE ANDERSON “Bee’’ Senior Play. National High School Chorus That out of eight hundred of us Pee should be chosen for the National Chorus at Cleveland is quite an honor. Her dramatic ability is worth mentioning, too. Remember her in the Senior Play? JAMES ANDERTON “Jim’’ Another one of the leaves on the famous Anderton Tree. Jim’s one ambition is to become---, Well, don’t shout like that. If you’re around him much you’ll know that he thinks aviation is quite the thing. RUSSEL AULT “Knute’’ P. D. Club Glee Club. Knute takes the prize for attendance in Detention Hall. The kids were beginning to think that he was the teacher. Can’t you imagine how the teachers feel about that? VIRGINIA AUSEL “Jinny” Library Club. Senior Secretarial Club. Operetta. Along comes Virginia and we all gel a jolt. Anyway we’re sure glad to have Virginia with us for she brightens any corner where site may l e. REBECCA BAILEY “Beckie” Ranking Club. Parliamentary Law Club. Glee Club. Reekie chums around with Kite. This team proves that good things come wrapped up in small packages. Wonder what her attraction is in New York? RONALD BALPH “Bones” Senior Nominating Committee. Rol is doing a good work at the Y. M. ( A. instructing the younger generation in the art of exercising, basketball and other gymnastic feats And Rol also grew in the process because he towers above us and he is still growing. DOROTHY BARTLETT “Dot” Dorothy is faithful, earnest and kind. We know she is true blue, and we like her all the more for it. The Oil Can 19 32 LEWIS BAUGHMAN “Louie” Louie’s greatest ambition is to be an artist. Even though this ambition is not realized, we do not doubt that Louie will be successful in whatever field he enters. RAYMOND BEIGHTOL “Ray” Can he play the trombone? I should say so. Has he a way with women? And again. I should say so. Has he a fast car? Well. I don’t need to say anything else but 1 should say so. WAYNE BEIGIITOL “Red” Baseball My, don't the girls envy this young man's nice red hair. Anyhow, Red’s a good sport, and lots of fun wherever he goes. FRED BETTS Another contribution to our immortal class from the Metrojxdis of Rouseville. My. don’t they grow big men in that small town. He’s quite a mechanic and knows his chemistry. 0 18 HELEN BICKEL Commercial Club. Here is the quiet one of the class. But that does not go to say that she never gets any joy out of life. IIow-somever. you never can tell by appearances. JOHN BIDDLE “Jack” What a break! Isn’t it tough that high school discontinued base ball this year. John’s reputation preceded him to Oil City. CHARLES BIEBER “Chuck” Pepita . Belles of Beaujolais.” Student Council 3. 4. President Hi-Y. 4. President Room No. 19. 4. P. D. Club. Boys Glee Club. Senior Picnic Committee. Chuck’s sister doesn’t have anything on him when it comes to being likeable. We surely do like the Biebers and hope there will be more of them. DOROTHY BIEBER “Dot” Junior Prom Committee. Junior Play. Senior Play. Senior Dance Committee. Oil Can Committee. Oil Can Staff. B - Square Club. Dramatic Club. “Dot’s” one of those happy-go-lucky girls who easily makes friends with both sexes. For who could resist that friendly smile and cheery disposition? Remember her, too, in the Junior and Senior Plays where her dramatic ability was revealed to no disadvantage. ALICE BLACK Did you ever see Alice when she wasn’t with Cliff? No. Neither did we. Well, Alice, no doubt you will make a success of your business career and so, here’s luck. The OilCan CLARIBEL BLACK “Claudie” Gypsy Rover. Library Club. 3. 4. Claribel has proved a great aid to Miss Stimson in the library. She was ever present and always did her work well. We don’t know what she has decided to do, but if it’s library work we’re sure she’ll succeed. RUTH BLAKELY Glee Club. Senior Secretarial Club. Operettas. Library Club. There is music in the air! It is Ruth leading the Seniors in song. Despite the poor talent we must admit Ruth did well. BETTY BOARDMAN Glee Club. Pepita.” Gypsy Rover. Commercial Club. Office Club. Betty’s hobby is chewing gum and trotting around with “Hub.” It may be rather hard to become acquainted with her but once the barrier is broken you’ll find her a load of fun. 19 LOIS BORLAND Secretary of Room Xo. 10. 3. Secretary of Room No. 27. 4. French Club. Latin Club. It’s a real treat to know someone who can really concentrate on her Latin. During the past two years that Lois has been with us. she has afforded us this opportunity. We know you are going to ('.rove City College, Lois, and here’s wishing you lots of success. MARY BOUQUIN “Boke” Student Council 3. Mere we have a Mary with a Ford that goes everywhere she does—much more useful than a lamb, we’re sure. She can’t decide whether she likes blondes or brunets best but time will tell. VIVIENNE BOVVERS Well - well - well- -Vivienne—the world seems to be treating you finely, judging from the broad grin we see nearly all the time. Just keep it up, for you know that “when you laugh, the world laughs with you; and when you frown, you frown alone.” ROBERT BRIGHT “Bob” County Piano Champion 3.J Bright’s one of the vertibrae in the clarinet section of t he orchestra. He’s certainly a good-looking lad too, but he has no time for the weaker sex. OilCan DALE BRUBAKER “Dub” I).B. Glee Club. Vice-President Room No. 15. How Dub keeps that Ford together is a mystery to us but, nevertheless, it serves its purpose in getting him to school on time. A quiet and serious lad but a good scout so we’re told. BETTY BRUNER Junior Nominating Committee. Vice-President of Junior Class. Junior Prom Committee. Secretary of Student Council, 3, 4. Senior Play. Glee Club. Secretary-Treasurer of 11. Assistant business Manager of Oil ('an. Dramatic Club Play. Ring and Pin Committee. French Club. Betty is one of the few who believes in going steady. How does she do it? A conscientious student and a sweet girl. ANTONINA BRUNO “Nene” This dark-eyed, dusky maiden might easily be taken for a Spanish Senorita, esj ecially when she dons that beautiful suntan. It’s different but becoming, don’t you think? In fact, she seems to go in for different things. EDWARD BUCIIIIOLZ “Ed” Commencc ment Play. ■■Pepita. Ed’s greatest difficulty is getting the teachers to pronounce and spell his last name correctly. But, since they have finally succeeded, all’s well that end’s well. 'I 9 2 20 DOROTHY BYERS “Dot” President Be Square Club. Ring and Pin Committee. French Club. Commencement Club. Whenever you see “Dot,” Edith is sure to be near at hand and vise-versa. If it weren’t for “Dot” where would “the gang” be for she certainly does her best to keep them walking— straight line? We wish her luck as our (� . R. secretary. RUTH CARLE Everybody likes Ruth and when it comes to a good time, she’s right there, but for all of that, she manages to get some good marks. DOROTHY CARLSON “Dot” “Kitty” Dot is noticeably quiet except when she’s with Yenol and a few other of her most intimate friends. Then it’s surprising how she can giggle and chatter. LUCILLE CARONE Senior Commercial Club. Glee Club. Lucille is one of the very few girls who has never had her hair bobbed. Always diligent, she proved to be of very little trouble to the teachers. I 932 HELEN CARPENTER This is one of our quiet maidens but she seems to be a friend of all. We are very glad to have Helen in our class and we feel sure that whatever she intends to do after graduation, I lelen will surely make a success of it. ALICE CARROLL ‘“A!” Another silent partner in our big company. Alice still believes she should be seen and not heard. We have however nothing but the l est recommendation for her. ROBERT CAVANAUGH “Bob” Senior Play. CirculalinK Manager Senior Hi-News. Oil Can Committee. Assistant Advertising Manager Oil Can Commencement Play. Property Manager of Junior Play. There’s one thing we’ve never seen and that’s Cavanaugh in a fit of temper. Things just don’t seem to l other him. Maybe that’s why he’s such a big hit with the ladies, for there’s no doubt as to that. RUTH CHITESTER “Rufus” To us. from the Methodist Parsonage of Rouseville, came Ruth. As a scholar she has a record for anyone to aspire to, and as a girl—who isn’t her friend? 8 LOIS COLLINS “Lo” Senior Orchestra. Glee Club. P. D. Club. Lois has been a faithful member of I lie Senior Orchestra for several years. And then we must remember that she and Peg have been very faithful friends fluring their high school career. MARION COLLINS “Mocha” Latin Club. Glee Club. Sophomore Play. 2. “Happy Man.' Wherever you hear a soft pleasant voice you can be assured that Marion is around. This is tlie little girl that all the teachers call on when they want something read nicely. Why don’t you take up radio announcing. Marion? MARGARET CONNERY “Peg” Treasurer of Be Square Club. P. D. Club. Although Peg chews gum vehemently, she still has time to laugh and sing. The best way we can describe her is to say that she’s always and forever a ‘‘good s| ort.” LEONA COTIIERMAN “Pee Wee” Commercial Club. When we need a little real support we turn to Leona, and we get it. In this case the sun never goes flown in the west. JENNE MAY CRAWE “Pee Wee” Secretary of Senior Commercial Club. Bookkeeper of Legal Club. Senior Orchestra. Pee Wee may be small, but she still makes a good secretary. If she decides to become a private secretary, we’re stire her employer will be very fortunate. Her ability, isn’t her only asset, for she has | ersonality as well. EVELYN CRAWFORD “Eddie” “Chub” Gyspy Rover.” “Pepita. Belles of Beaujolias. P. D. Club. Glee Club. Girls’ Trio 2. 3, 4. Eddie is one of our songbirds and how she can sing! Some day we may hear of her in grand opera. Eva and she are inseparable. WILLIAM CROSBY “Bill” “Pepita. “Dust Of The Road. Commencement Play. Junior Play. “Thank You Doctor.” Editor-in-Chicf of Senior Hi-News. Associate Editor of Oil Can. Junior Dance Committee. ( hairman of SeniorNominating Committee Winner of Venango County Debating Contest. 2. Orchest ra. Cheer-leader, 3. Bill’s talents run mostly in the literary and dramatic lines but don’t end there, as his activities show. With such ability for a start, success is sure to be his. regardless of what he undertakes. HAZEL CULBERTSON “Cubbie” Basketball Varsity, ’29. Senior Orchestra. Glee Club. Glee Club. P. D. Club. Be Square Club. “Cubbie” is one of our athletically inclined girls anti also tpiite a scholar as can be proved by the freouent ap-l earance of her name on the Honor Roll. 22 -T MARGARET CURRAN “Peg” Basketball 2. Secretary Room No. 20. 4. It really was too had that basketball for the fair sex was abolished in our school system, because Pet; really was a good player and enjoyed the game immensely. Since she can’t be a basketball player, she’s studying business and no doubt will be a secretary some day. MADALINE CUTCHALL “Billy” Where there’s noise, there’s “Billy” or should we say where there’s Billy, there’s noise—and plenty of it?” If vou’re in search of a lively companion, here site is. FRANK CZAJKA “Frankie” Frankie is a bright sunny lad who likes school and has proved to be one of our most ambitious Seniors. He gives all his time to his own affairs sadly neglecting the fairer sex. PAUL DANNHEISER “Paulie” Publicity Manager. Senior-Hi-News. Art Editor of Oil Can. French Club. Paul is cpiite the artist and we don’t mean perhaps. In addition he fondly imagines that he’s Bim Crosby. Remember his crooning at Staff meetings? NEVELL DEHNER “Billie” Who is that fellow that Billie is with? Why it is Bill of course. We haven’t the slightest idea what Nevell will do after graduation, but if we read about her in the society column, we won’t be surprised. LEO DIAMOND I lere is one of the boys who left us at mid-term but we certainly should congratulate him for having bested the rest of us by a semester. HELEN DISQUE Secretarial Club. She sparkles with vivacity. Her twinkling eyes and saucy hair proclaim her never-failing cheeriness and good humor. DAN DUNLANY “Pat” Assistant Football Manager, '28. Football Varsity 29. Junior Play. '30. Chairman Sr. Dance Committee, Art Staff of Oil Can. We’re glad that Pat, the adventure seeker, finally came back to his former starting place. He’s a fellow well worth knowing and with artistic ability worth developing. Quite a smoothy, too, don’t you think? GEORGE EBERT “Boom” Football ?. Basketball .?. 4. Varsity 4. Junior Play Committee. Oil Can Committee. Sports Editor of Oil Can. “Boom's” biggest interest lies at Westminster College and we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where he’ll go. lie seems rather quiet until you know him and then—what a change. SARA DEANE ELWINGER “Sally” Dramatic Club Play. 4. Glee Club. Commercial Club. Sara Deane has always been a great enthusiast of the Dramatic Club and was rewarded by a part in the club plays. But then we’re sure Dramatics aren’t the only thing that count to this young lady. Who knows. Perhaps there's a gentleman. LEO ENGLISH Brass Quartet. 4. Senior Orchestra. Leo has acted as taxi-driver during the past year with his Model T. Ford. If Leo isn’t in his car, he is sure to be found in the Senior Orchestra. ELIZABETH FEKETE “Betty” Glee Club. P. I . Club. Girl Reserve. Elizabeth is one of our ambitious girls who believes in preparedness in her studies. We don’t believe she cares much for men, but we know she has the rare quality of always l eing sincere. MAXINE FERGUSON “Max” Property Manager ol Senior Play. Another ! eautiful blond! And another case where beauty and brains go hand in hand. Max worked hard to graduate with us, and we’re proud of her. GLADYS FILE “Glad” P. D. Club. Glee Club. Tall and dignified, Gladys is a model Senior. Perhaps taller than dignified she has proven to be a great booster for the class. ROBERT FORD “Bob” Pianist of Boys Glee Club, 3. I. Senior Orchestra. Bob is not only an excellent pianist, but is accomplished on the trumpet as well. His original piano compositions have gained a great deal of favorable comment in this vicinity. Keep it up, Bob, and lots of luck. MARY FORMAN “Mickey” Staff of Senior Hi-News. 4. Glee Club. Mary and Louise! The two inseparable chums who work side by side in everything. Mary has been a valuable member of the newspaper during the past year and deserves our congratulations. 1 1932 LOTTIE FRAK “Bubbles” Glee Club. Bubbles is a sweet girl who does her work efficiently. Whatever she decides to do, we're sure she’ll do it to the best of her ability. ROY FRANK “Wheat” Stamp. Stamp. What was that? Only Roy coming in the study hall. Evidently thinks he’s taking a course in brick laying. That’s all right, Roy, don’t pay any attention to what we say about you. PAULINE FRANKENBERGER “Lee” Oh! Yes. We all know Pauline and her smile. You might think you know it all but Pauline can always tell you more. RAY FRY Glee Club. How the girls. es| ecially from Seneca, do admire this boy! He has that admirable faculty of minding his own business. Ray is not as short as his name but instead he towers most of us. BARBARA FUTYMA “Bessie” Although Bessie doesn’t merit any activities, she is a good student and that’s something. We sure have to give her credit for her ambition and we hope that success will be her reward. SOPHIA FUTYMA Is Sophia smart? Well. I’ll say. She hasn’t failed to obtain good marks and still holds her position among the honor students. BRUCE FYE Concert Masher of Orchestra. President of Boys' Glee Club. String Quartet. Although Bruce’s heart seems to have strayed to a P. G. we are sure his good will is still with the class of ’32. He is greatly interested in his violin and will probably make a great name for himself some day in this profession. JANET GEORGE “Jane” President of French Club. Latin Club. Be Square Club. Ring and Pin Committee. Bells of Beaujolias. A quiet and studious damsel but a true friend to all who know her well. And does Jane have school spirit? No one who’s l� een near her at any game could be unaware of the fact. She s also one of Miss McCormick’s favorites. HELEN GESING JULIAN GOLDMAN “Jule Quiet and studious. That’s Helen. She is always searching for more knowledge and she gets it. We hope she gets all the success that she deserves. HAROLD M. GIFFORD “Red” Latin Club. We're not sure where he hails from hut he must he a hig hit with the ladies, anyway. Who could help but admire those gorgeous red locks? He’s one of Miss Meditz’s conscientious pupils hut he can’t be that way all the tiinie. RONALD GLASS Hanking Club. And here's Ron. Ron sure makes a hit with the girls. But then who wouldn’t if they had his curly hair and pleasant smile. He is a mighty likeable chap and we are glad to have had him in our class. JOAN GOLDMAN “Jo” Senior Orchestra. Library Club. French Club. P. D. Club. Jo’s quite a musician and in addition has exceptionally good taste in choosing clothes. Not had to look at either, do you think? As a mannequin she’d be a wow. Brass Quartet. Winner ot State Comet Contest. 2. A musician who has proved himself to he good. Not only did he take first place in the state contest, hut received honorary mention in the National Contest as well. JAMES GREASLY “Jim” Hi-Y. Jim’s greatest worry is work. How he hates it! Any movement at all is an exertion, hut. still he must have his good points. How about it, Marion? RICHARD GREENFIELD “Dick” And this is Dick. You can’t see his Ford but it is probably around somewhere. Dick’s only fault is that he blushes so easily, but he certainly has a way with girls. ELIZABETH GRIFFIN “Betty” Sccietary of Latin Club. Glee Club. P. D. Club. What a lovely complexion and what a sweet girl. We can imagine that Betty's phone is kept ringing with male admirers. 26 MARY ALICE GRIGGS Senior Orchestra. Glee Club. Junior Dance Committee. Oil Can Committee. Dramatic Club. “Elmer.” Oil Can Staff. Basketball. 1. 2. Mary Alice, as an ivory tickler, is a great asset to the orchestra. She’s quite fickle in affairs of the heart but a certain red-headed youth of '31 seems to have successfully held her attention lately. Maybe it’s different this time. DAVID IIANNA “David” Junior Prom Committee. Oil Can Committee. Student Council. Junior Picnic Committee. Secretary of Room No. 21. '32. A good-natured and likeable fellow —that’s “Dave . Although he has the habit of falling asleep in school we can’t condemn him for that for who wouldn’t do the same thing if they got the chance? FLORENCE HANNA “Connie” Secretarial f lub. Behold, Connie, one of Miss Zalzneck’s prodigies. This young lady will make an excellent secretary for some lucky man. She and Jinny are great pals. NORENE HASCHEN “Nehee” Senior Nominating Committee. Secretary Girl Reserves. Secretary of Room No. 26. 4. Senior Nominating Committee. Secretary Girl Reserve. Secretary of Room 26. 4. Secretary Sccreterial Club. Glee Club. Operetta. Of course, it is easy to see that Norene has abilities as a secretary. Great things should be in store for her. If good wishes will smooth the bumps in the road to success, you have a goodly share from us Norene. Oil Can 193 2 GWENDOLIN HASTED “Gwen” Secretarial Club Gwen comes a long way to attend our school. Therefore we don’t know much about her outside of school, but with her personality it wouldn't be hard to guess what she floes with her spare time. FRANKLIN HAUSMAN “Frank” Franklin’s chief occupation is being a nuisance to the teachers. Many a laugh in the classroom has traced its source to this young man. Of course, trouble making isn’t his only pursuit, for we hear he likes the young ladies as well. JAMES HENDERSON “Jimmy” Home Room President. 4. Oil Can Staff. French Club. Senior Orchestra. Jokes, laughter and Jimmy seem to be all mixed up. His ambition is to go to West Point and be a handsome cadet. We expect to have him come back and visit us some day all dressed up in an officer’s uniform. ROBERT HENNING “Bob” Hi-Y. Bob's favorite pastime is sleeping and running around in the Ford with “Dub.” We wouldn’t doubt if he slept even then, but he doesn’t from what we’ve heard. 27 FREDERICK HIBBARD “Fred” Fred is in a class all of his own and therefore he has no competitors but he has many friends. We don’t think he goes with the girls, but just wait until he starts. All the shieks will have to quit because who could compete with that smile of his? LOUISE HIGHGATE Junior Play. Dramatic Club. Senior Hi-News. Poet, author and orator. This is Louise. She has been of great assistance to our class, our newspaper and the Dramatic Club. You can’t see Mary but she can’t be far off because she and Louise are inseparable. AUDEAN HILL “Dean” Glee Club. Cast of Beaujolia . Library Club. P. D. Club. Audean has l een singing for the public as long as we can remember. As music and men usually go together, we surmize this young lady has had a goodly share of both. RUTH HOLT Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Operetta. Everybody likes Ruth and when it comes to having a good time, she’s right there. Ruth is one of our Commercial students and she was a big help in typing our material. We feel that, in later years, she will be someone’s private stenographer. Oil Can RUTH HORNER “Whooie” Glee Club. Secretary Parliamentary Law Club. Student Council, 4. “Whooie” likes to talk and since no one can stop her she goes right to it. Since all of her sisters are school teachers, we haven’t any doubt but that “Whooie” will follow the same vocation. VERONICA HOROS “Ronnie” Office Club. By her circle of acquaintances “Ronnie” is classed as pretty and popular and we’re not so sure that they’re wrong. In fact, she won a contest for both these qualities last year. HAMILTON HOWGARD “Ham” Hi-Y. Glee Club. Orchestra. Who is this child with the big innocent blue eyes and smiling face? None other than “Ham” or “Little Hammie” as some of the girl friends delight in calling him. In addition to being quite a musician, “Ham’s” one of the peppiest in the class. CARIBEL HUFF Caribel is quiet and good natured. She is a conscientious student and is always willing to lend a helping hand in whatever |)ossible. We are glad that you are one of us, Caribel. HENRY HUNTER Junior Dance Committee. Junior Dance Committee Stage Manager Junior Play. Advertising Manager Senior Play. Oil Can Staff. Secretary of Hi-Y. Junior Picnic Committee. Henry is one of the most active hoys in the class, and still he has time to hold a job. If energy anti ability are the factors for success, we expect to see you doing big things some day, Henry. MAURICE HUTH “Morry” Hi-Y. When this fellow drives that great big car of his. we wonder where Morry is. Anyway, we think that place be side him on the driver's seat is probably coveted by more than one girl. JULIA INCUS “Jule” This young lady will probably make a name for herself in the line of art someday—if—well, of course, she might do what all the other pretty girls do when they get out of school. Get married, of course. ELIZABETH IRWIN “Betty” “Betty” certainly has lots of pep and can make more noise lor her size than someone twice as tall. What Betty’s going to be we don’t know but she’d made a good night club hostess. The Oil Can 1932 MARY ELLEN ISHERWOOD “Ish” Junior Play. Senior Dance Committee. Literary Editor of Oil Can. “Ish” is one of the class beauties. This dainty young miss with her charming smile and big blue eyes will makefmore than one youth’s heart turn somersaults, we're sure. CHESTER JABLONSKI “Ches” Here is the figure juggler, in other words, our star mathematician. There’s brains in that thar head and C hes uses them, lie’ll get along anyplace because he is a conscientious lad who always does his work. If it weren’t for Ches. John would have to walk to school by himself. JOHN JACOBS “Jack” Rememl er that pretty blue sweater that John wore? John doesn’t pay much attention to the girls in school, we have a hunch there’s one out of school. ARTHUR JARZENSKI “Art” Operetta. Glee Club. We don’t know much about Art but what is interesting. He spends most of his spare time working at the Sugar Bowl. Maybe this accounts for his sweetness. The on can WILLIAM JOBSON Bill” Cast of Pcpita.” President of Room No. 20. 3. Sec’y.-Treas. of Boys' Glee Club. Football 4. Cast of Beaujolais.” P. 13. Club. Boys’ Quartet. For the past several years, Bill has taken an active part in the musical circles of the school. But then we hear he also devotes a great deal of time to a comely post-graduate. DOROTHY KARO “Dot” Commercial Club. ROBERT KARG ‘Bob’’ No, you’re wrong. Bob isn’t Dorothy’s brother. He seems to have found a fair maiden in the ranks of the Juniors though, and we hope he’ll be successful. WILFRED KAY Never judge a man by the town he comes from. Will hails from Siverly and probably will be mayor some day. He’s got that personality and optimism that brings you to earth and makes you smile. While we do not believe in the use of superlatives we must overstep here to say that Dot is one of the most conscientious girls in the class and as such is a true friend indeed. 30 The Oil Can HENRIETTA KELLER “Henri” Meet another one of our biggest students who seem to keep their minds on their work in spite of everything. Seldom do we see her when she isn't carrying some musical instrument for she’s quite a music lover. DONALD KENNEDY “Hunky” Football ’28. After several years of vacation. Don decided to come hack and graduate, lie has worked hard since he joined our ranks and we arc glad to have him as a member of the class of ’32. WILLIAM KENNEDY “Bill” Football 3. 4. Girl-shy? Sot at all. You don't know Bill like some of his pals do and they can certainly tell you that he is a real friend. He did his hit for football and also for the class. Should we ask for any more? m 5VELYN KENT Office Club 4. Glee Club I. 2. 3. We found Evelyn a true friend and good sport, what more could one ask? he smiles at the world and the world's ire to smile hack. MARGARET KIRKWOOD “Peg From Rouseville? Yes. Quiet? Yes. To make a long story short, we are very proud of this young miss and wish her the ! est of luck. NELLIE KITELINGER “Kite” Library Club 3. “Kite” is a petite miss from Walnut Rend. She has a “rep” for rescuing our ill-fated swimmers, but who wouldn’t enjoy drowning with Nellie on the shore? WINNIS KOHLMAN j“WInnie” Oh, that smile!

FLOYI) KRANTZ “Gump” And here we have Gump. Yes. he is one of the small members of our class, but he j ossesses a big heart. Gump has had to come from the wide open spaces to attend school and has made good use of his opportunity. SOPHIA KRASOSKI “Skippy” Glee Club 1. 2. 3. One look at her and we’re sure that here's a girl with a cheerful outlook on life. Keep it up, kid, you need it in this depression. MARGARET KUNTZ “Peg” Commencement Play This young lady hails from Rouseville, Pa. If everyone in that town were as nice as “Peg, we sure would like to make Rouseville our home. “Peg” has made friends with a lot of girls, as well as with those of the opposite sex.

From the rej orts we hear, Betty and her gang certainly do have some good times. GERTRUDE LAUER This is one of the reasons why gentlemen prefer blondes. We could say so many nice things about Gerty but I am simply going to advise you to make her acquaintance. DOROTHY LESH “Dot” Senior Orchestra. Dramatic Club. Dramatic Club Play.

Cliff, why didn’t you do something spectacular in your school da vs so we could writesomethingspectacular al out you? Just the same we recognize Cliff as a valuable asset to our class.

EDITH LEWIS “Edie” Junior Picnic Committee. Sec’y -Treas. of Room 11. Class Prophetess of Oil ('an. Treasurer of Be Square Club '31. Basketball 2. Pepita.” French Club. Glee Club. Edith’s greatest worry is her height but as we’ve heard before “Good things come in small packages” (and so does rat poison) but why mention that? She has no special ambition but such knowledge as hers will surely not go to waste. EVELYN LOWES “Wosy” The good looking classmate from the East End, and does she have a lot of friends.

THe Oil Can ARTHUR McCRAY “Art” Here’s another one of those bashful fellows who absolutely won’t give the girls a tumble much as they long for. It must run in the family. Maybe you don’t know that John and he are brothers but so they arc. The Oil Can BRYAN McBRIDE “Bum” Being the brother of our noted wisecracker. doesn’t seem to cramp Bryan’s style. Eor one so short he surely has a powerful voice, which he uses to no mean ability. NEAL McBRIDE “Chief” Junior Prom Committee. Junior Dance Committee. Mgr. of Football 29-’30. Stage Manager Junior Play. Chairman of .Senior Play Committee. Athletic Editor of Oil Can. “Chief” surely lives up to his name for when it comes to managing affairs he’s right on the s| ot. The old school surely will miss him. He has outside interests too—chiefly the High Hatters’ Club and Franklin plus Sally. william McCarthy “Bui” Junior Home Room President 3. Senior Hi-News Representative. Stage Carpenter Senior Play. Under Bill’s quiet exterior we find a fun-loving nature. And is he persistent? Just ask a certain | etite young damsel of his acquaintance. Persistence is a good quality though and hasn't proved useless in his case. 1-932 JOHN McCRAY “Mac” Oil Can Committee. Glee Club. French Club. Student Council. “Mac” is quiet and well conducted but always ready for fun. Can’t you guess that by the twinkle in those blue eyes? Like “Art,” though, he doesn’t give the girls a break. CATHERINE McCREADY “Kate” P. D. Club. Student Council 4. Varsity Basketball. Senior Color Committee. Glee Club. Remember how well “Kate” played side center for Varsity? She’s also one of those favored few whose names frequently appear on the Honor Roll. Then, too. she seems greatly attracted to a certain young man, “Alex” by name. Isn’t that so? ISABELLE McDERMID “Lottie” Staff Senior Hi-News. Oil Can Staff. French Club. Class Secretary 3. Senior Play. Property Manager Junior Play. Basketball 2. President Latin Club 4. Be Square Club. Commencement Play Committee. Here is a little .Scotch miss who is responsible for most of these write-ups so if you wish to take your spite out on somebody for an unfitting statement in your write-up, see her. Her services on this annual as well as in the other class activities have been priceless and we certainly are gratefid to her. 33 The OilCan 19 52 george McDowell Can this boy play the violin? Well I should say so. The Senior orchestra will certainly miss this lad next year and many ensuing years. MARJORIE McFALL “Marj Senior Play. President of Senior Secretarial Club. “Gypsy Rover. Secretary of Legal Club. Can you imagine this smiling young lass perfectly depicting the character of an old maid? Marj did no less in the Senior Play and certainly proved her ability as an actress. CLIFFORD McFATE “Cliff” Where’s Alice? Not far off. Oh, here she comes right on Cliff's trail. They are indeed inseparable and listen Cliff, if you are looking for someone to act as best man. don’t forget me. It would be a pleasure. MABEL McKISSICK Secretarial Club. “Gypsy Rover.” Mabel is one of those girls whose name always appears on the Honor Roll, because of her ability and (?) we feel sure she will be somebody’s private secret ary. The Oil Can I 9 .5.2 JOHN McLAUGHLIN “Johnny Cast of “Whose Money?” John is another devotee of the Dramatic Club who was cast in the plays given at Christmas time. He l ortra ed his part very nicely anti proved he was worthy of the part. NORMA McMILLEN “Sammy” Commercial Club. Dramatic Club. Everybody who goes to Creed’s knows Norma, so she must have a large group of acquaintances. We’ve found her to be both capable and pleasant—two attributes that point to success. We hope so, anyway. ISABELLE MACKEY Glee Club. Dramatic Club. Krench Club. He Square Club. It would be something unusual to meet Isabelle without receiving a friendly greeting and it makes you feel good to know that someone notices when you’re absent from school. JAMES MACKEY “Jim” Jim is one of our slow going members but he gets there just the same. We never meet Jim very often but when we do we are greeted by a great big smile and that’s sumpin’. 34 The DEBORA MAGDOVITZ “Debbie’’ Oil COYl Secretary of Latin Club. Associate Editor of Oil ('an. County Debatins Contest. Director of Dramatic Club Play 4. Staff of Senior Hi-News 4. Debating Team. “Debbie’s size doesn’t prevent her from being one of the busiest and most talkative members of our class. She surely is a good worker as both her grades and activities prove. As Mutt and Jeff, Joan and she are a good example, don't you think so? MARGARET MAGEE “Peg” Secretarial Club 4. Problems of Democracy Club 4. Library Club 3. Peg is one of the team of Sell tilt z and Magee. She has many friends and always manages to make the honor roll; this, perhaps, is because her main interest lives in Warren. VIRGINIA MARTIN “Jin” Secretarial Club. Glee Club. Just another blonde—but they don’t all come from Rouseville and are as good-looking as Jin. At least that's what Clarence thinks and we’re not so sure lie’s wrong. CHARLES MELLRING “Chuck” French Club. P. D. Club. “Chuck is one of the many who conies from Rouseville and thanks to his old chevy for carrying him to the ole yellow building on the hill. DONALD MILLER “Don” Don is a quiet lad. There is a little girl who thinks so, too. She sure is nice; Don knows it and shows it by the time he spends with her. ELIZABETH MILLER “Betty” Latin Club. Be Square Club. French Club. Betty is one of those sweet girls who’s as neat as a pin. And then we mustn’t forget that she gets A-l marks in her lessons, too. Another thing that Betty excels in is blushing, and we really mean the good old-fashioned blushing. KENNETH R. MINICH “Keh” Hi-Y Club. P. D. Club. Glee Club. Ken hails from the country anti is a jovial lad by nature. In his serious moments, however, he works in that great depart merit store. Woolworth’s, and may some day l ecome manager. ELMER MOIINEY “Apey” We had Elmer all written up very nicely, we thought, when along comes Elmer and shatters our dreams by kicking most vigorously. Therefore, you must regard the picture, and draw your own conclusions. The OilCan 1932 JAV MONTIE String Quartet. Senior Orchestra. Jay’s motto is, “Let a smile be your umbrella.” With his constant smile he has won a lot of friendships, and then he is no mean hand at the fiddle, either. CECILIA F. MOONEY “Ceal” Leal is a very quiet miss, but she nevertheless expects to profit by her school education. Her main interest in school is art. not “Art” and no doubt she will swing a nasty brush some day. MARY ELLEN MORROW “Teddy” Glee Club. Orchestra. French Club. Be Square Club. Teddy is a girl who always seems to lie having a good time no matter where she is. She’s an artist of some note and a faithful member of the orchestra. ARTHUR MULDOON “Mike” Football 1. 2. 3. 4. President of P. D. Club. Mike is one of the few boys who has played football for four years. Asa result he received one of those very swanky white sweaters that any girl would be proud to wear. We’re expecting big things from you Mike, so good luck. HELEN ELIZABETH MULDOON There was never a football game without Helen, but she was there out of sisterly love, and that we think, was the cause of Art’s going up. Who couldn’t go up with a sister like that to help one? FRANCIS NELLIS Football 29. Francis is one of our football enthusiasts and although he didn’t receive any laurels, he showed his spirit by going out for the team. Science seems to l e his next stand-by anti there is no doubt that he will take up this kind of work after graduation. ROBERT NELSON “Bob” Big meat and money man, that’s Bob. With the exception of a hilarious spanking at the hands of Uhacona, at football camp Bob got through the year without a slip. We look to see this fair haired Adonis in the movies some day. ESTHER NICOL “Nick” This dark damsel comes from the Hast End. However her attraction does not end with her beauty. A smile that will win her many favors and a l crsonaIity that will carry her far. 9. 36 ROY NUHFER “Snufe” Anybody who can get the marks that “Snufe” gets, deserves plenty of credit. A few more students like he, and the teachers could pack up and go home. MARTENANUNEMAKER “Teenie’ Secretarial Club. Martena can always laugh and see the point. If we couldn’t get our lessons, it was Teenie who helped us. Well, here’s luck. WILLIAM O BRIEN “Bill” Junior Basketball. Glee Club. Bill keeps the teachers going and at the same time provides his classmates with entertainment—an exceptional talent for one so small, don’t you think? FRANK OLEZEK “Olie” Latin Club. Mathematics and languages are Frank’s delights. Always smiling and ready to oblige he has gainer! a great many friends during his high school year. HELEN JANE OWENS “Jane” Dramatic Club Play 4. Vocal Trio 2. 3. 4. Debating Club 4. Cast of Pepita. Glee Club. P. D. Club. Senior Nominating Committee. The happy-go-lucky girl! But she still has her achievements. Helen is not only known for her singing but for her acting and public speaking as well. CHARLES PERRINE “Cocoa Malt” DustOf The Road. Senior Hi-News Staff. Junior Nominating Committee. Commencement Play. “Cocoa Malt” needs a little shaker. “Save the surface and you save all,” is ('buck’s motto. Chuck with hisdram-atic ability ought to be a success on the stage.

Price professes to be a woman hater but what about one red-headed under-classmate? DOROTHY PORTER “Dot” Basketball 1, 2. “Gypsy Rover.” “Pepita.” Glee Club. “Dot was some basketball player so we're told and still retains her interest in athletics or should we say Athletes? More than one girl envies her. Oh, Waitkus!-! ! GORDON PORTER “Dode” Junior Class President. Vice President of Student Council. Junior Play. All Junior Committees. Senior Play Committee. Staff of Oil Can. Glee Club. Secretary of Hi-Y Club 3. Varsity Basketball C 4. Varsity Track. Varsity Football. Oil Can Committee. Commencement Play. Orchestra 2. 3 4. “The Belles of Bcaujolais. Boys' Quartet. Porter’s activities prove him to be an all-around fellow, so what more can we say? If you aren’t acquainted with Duke, stroll down by the “Y” and get an introduction. Although Paul hasn’t been a very active member of our class, he has nevertheless succeeded in obtaining good marks and has proved to be a real pal to all his friends. VIOLET POULSON “Cleo” Secretary Home Room. Another blonde anti 'tis said that gentlemen prefer them. Siverly sends us this one. He careful when you pick him Cleo! But through with nonsense. C'leo’s a good bet from any view point. o MYRA PYLE “Puck” We find in Myra a true friend and a good sport. What more could one ask? She smiles at the world and the world’s sure to smile back. CARLYLE RANKIN “Bub” If you don’t like your write-up, see me. Here’s hoping you are in a good mood if you disagree with me in this matter. EDWARD RAPP Ed Home Room President. Football '28. Treasurer Student Council 3. Class Basketball. Ed thought he’d give us a break last year and come back to school. We were surely glad to have him and as proof we elected him Treasurer of the Student Council. WILLIAM REIDY Ego Bill Debating Club. Problems of Democracy Club. Is this boy a debater? There’s no equal and I'm warning you. if you ever get in an argument with him. hold your hat. for he’ll give you a merry chase. He seems to have made a hit with Miss Leyda and can you blame her? HERMAN REMUS Dutch Office Bov of Office Club 4. Band 3. Glee Club. Quite a disturbance was caused when this big boy was chosen as office boy of the Office Club. But as he performed his duties very faithfully, the disturbance was not in vain. HOWARD REYNOLDS Huck Huck, the Ford and the McCray brothers are a sight familiar to us. There’s no danger of the Ford, breaking down with such a mechanic as Huck driving it. ROBERT RHOADES Bob Banquet Committee. Basketball Manager 3. 4. Varsity 4. Secretary Hi-Y. Sophomore Play. Anyone who has missed Bob’s arguments in History Class certainly has missed a lot. They are not only interesting but amusing as well. Besides his scholastis duties. Bob has found time to manage the basketball teams for two consecutive years. LOIS RICHARDS Loe President Room 23. OW Club. King and Pin Committee. Ever ready for fun is Loe. Frequently she’s forsaken her studies while Flop” and she have gone in search of some excitement or good time. THOMAS K. RICHARDS Tom Admiral Property Manager of “Belles of Reaujolais” Glee Club.

MARTHA RICHMOND Chic Glee Club. P. D. Club. Library Club. Operetta. Martha has had some adventures! But perhaps we had best skip that. An active club member and a singer too. We understand Pete strums a mean tike. � MARGARET ROBERTS “Peggy” Senior Secretary Club. Oi eretta. Library Club. Peggy lias one of those habits that is so important—the habit of smiling. If everyone indulged in this pastime as much as she, we would have a big, smiling Senior ( lass. GEORGE RODGERS “Buddy” President of the Commercial Nat'I. Hank Club. “Buddy” is one of our classmates whom we expect to find President of Fhe Oil City National Bank. Don’t you wish you had a movie actor’s name? We wonder who his “one and only” is. Some little girl from Stanley’s Corners. ALBERT ROESS “Al” Dramatic Club Play. Critic of Room 27. Hi-Y. Ass't. Advertising; Manager of Oil Can. Ass’t. Advertising Mgr. of Senior Hi-News. “Al” and Paul are as close together as Twins. “Al's” ambition is to be a lawyer but in our opinion he’d be a bigger success as a clergyman. Here’s wishing you luck, anyway. HELEN ROSE Oil Can Staff. Senior Committees. Here’s one of our members who believes in getting her man and who wouldn’t want to be the man. If you don’t believe me, ask Bobby. I bet Helen goes to Allegheny. Who wants to bet with me? I don’t believe I can lose. DAVID ROSENBERG “Dave” P. D. Club. Golly! But weren’t we lucky to have Dave in our class? We hope that he is as glad as we are to be in the class of ’32. Dave is right there with the fight and though he says he never takes hard subjects, we notice he passes them all. RICHARD ROTE “Dick” Dick is one of our rural members and has certainly made good use of his opportunity to receive a good education. More power to you Bill to do this old world some good in the days to come. VIRGINIA RUDISELLE Ruddy” Rudy hasn’t been very active in the class but her ambition is to get an education and we certainly have to congratulate her on this fact. Whatever you intend to do after graduation, Rudy, we know that you will succeed. CHRISTOPHER RUSSELL “Chris” A football player? Yes. A musician? Yes. An admirer of women? Yes. Well, to make a long story short, C hris is one of the most popular and active members of our class. % SIDNEY SALKIN “Sid” When it comes to oral topics “Sid” doesn’t seem to mind at all. He’s also one of the few high school boys who still are active in that great organization whose motto is “Be Prepared.” MARY SCHIFFER “Skip” Secretarial Club. Senior Play Committee. Student Council '31. We never see Mary when she isn't looking “spick and span.’’ Neatness is only one of her fine characteristics though, for in addition she has an extremely sweet disposition. LEONA SCHRECK “13“ Vice President of Library Club 4. We wonder if “13” stands for lucky or unlucky. We are inclined to think it is the former. Because her services have been so valuable in the Library, Leona certainly will ! e missed by Miss Stimson. JAMES SCHREFFLER “Jim“ Hi-Y Club. P. D. Club. Remember the Senior debate Jim was in? Well, he certainly proved he had the ability to convince. We also have a feeling that a great many girls like his light curly hair. The OilCan 1932 ANNA SCHULTZ “Ann” Secretarial Club. Library Club. Ann is another tall blonde from our class. We know this much: she likes a good time, always has her Business Arithmetic and has lots of friends. PAUL SCHWAB Glee Club. P. D. Club. Student Council Representative. Whatever he can or can’t do. here’s a fellow who certainly knows his stuff when it comes to dancing. May-l e that long walk from Siverly keeps him liml)ered up. MARGARET SHADERLINE “Peg” Orchestra. P. D. Club. Home Hygiene Club. Peg is one of the few tall girls in our class but that’s nothing against her. In fact, there are many times when it proves advantageous to l e able to look over someone’s shoulder. GERTRUDE SHERICK “Gert“ Here’s a friendly young miss with a big ear for gossip, but don’t get the wrong impression, everybody. She’s only a patient and willing listener who keeps what she hears to herself and how many of us can do that? OLIVER SHERMAN “Bud” Oil Can Staff. Senior Hi-Newj . Advertising Manager Junior Play 3. Senior Nominating Committee. Oliver is rather quiet during school, but when he goes out—well, that’s another story. We must admit, though, that he makes a good advertising manager, as shown by the results of the Oil ('an and the Senior-Hi News. ESPER SHOOP “Ep” “Vegetable” He likes hunting and he likes girls or to be more exact he likes hunting girls. Between Siverly and Oil City he ought to be successful. EDWARD SHREVE “Confidential” This boy certainly has made a hit with Miss Roney and it is probably because of his great likeness for bookkeeping. He’s getting to know the ropes pretty well, and no doubt will turn out to be an experienced accountant. LENA SIEGALL “Leen” Junior Play. Junior Play Committee. Vice-President Latin Club. Dramatic Club Play. Senior Hi-Nexvs Staff. Joke Editor of Oil Can. President of Home Room No. 21. Basketball 1. 2. How Lena can talk—especially when Titusville is mentioned. Just try her. With her winning smile and steady chatter she has become one of the “live wires” both in the school room and in the “gang.” What she’s going to do, she hasn’t decided but we have our own ideas. LEONA SILVERMAN “Lu” French Club. Some may talk and some may stop but Leona goes on forever. It's the same way with giggling, too. Maybe that’s why we find her to be such good company. LEO SINGER “Oscar” P. D. Club. French Club. Glee Club. In school, Leo appears to be a quiet, hard-working fellow but outside he may be different. Don’t forget “Still water runs deep.” ESTELLA SINGLETON “Stella” Don’t you know her? Why surely you do. She plays the violin in the Senior orchestra and seems to be quite popular with the boys. Oh, you know her now, so I needn’t say any more. ROBERT SLATER “Fat” It really is too bad that Fat isn’t a little bigger for he really would make a good boxer. Nevertheless he has engaged in many a scrap and seems to hold his own very well. But Fat doesn’t regard his size and if you know of a person who would like to take him on, give him a ring. 42 CHARLES C. S 1 ITU “Chuck” “Buffalo BUI” Junior Prom Committee. Banquet Committee. Voted Mr. Oil City in '29-'30-'3t .Etc. Chuck’s won quite a rep by skipping school so often. Maybe his longing for his pal. Bobby, overcomes his fondness for knowledge. At any rate he spends a lot of timeat Allegheny. FLORENCE SMITH “Flo” Glee Club. Senior Secretarial Club. How can we gather data on a girl who chases into the country as soon as school’s out? However, we expect a good deal of Flo and feel sure she will live up to our expectations. JAMES SMITH “Jim” Senior Play. Dramatic Club Play. Assistant Business Manager of Oil Can. Commencement Play. 1st Place in County Declamation Contest 2 If you’re looking for a man to give a before or after dinner speech—here’s your man. Jim can discuss anything anti everything, lie’s an actor of no mean ability, too. KATHRYN SMITH “Kate” “Gypsy Rover. I Pepita.” Wo so! lorn soo much ol Kate since she's alwaj s with Ken. We wouldn’t be surprised to hear of them being hitched up some day. In fact everyone else seems to bore her. MATHILDA SMITH “Tootie” Secretary of Room No. 27. When Tootie” and Mary Louise get together in those Raccoons, it’s hard to distinguish one from the other. And her clothes -how the girls do envy them! Doesn’t she have some good-looking ones though? RIITII SMOYER “Ruthie” Senior Nominating Committee. Secretary of Be Square Club ’32. Secretary of Room No. 2H. ’31. Secretary Legal Banking Club. 32. Senior Home Room President of Room No. 15. A quiet and studious girl, well liked by all her acquaintances. Ruth will make a good secretary for some-body. EARL SORENSON “Duke” The math teachers call his problems. Duke’s Mixture. But if they could assume the horizontal contortions that Sorenson manages during Home Room period and in a Senior High desk at that, they would be in a circus. EDWARD SPLAIN “Ink” Debating Team. Commencement Play. Vice President of Dramatic Club. Director of Dramatic Club Play. Assistant Advertising Manager of Oil Can. Business Manager of Thank You. Doctor Debating Club. Dramatic Club. The saying, And when I open my lips, let no dog bark” might well be applied to Ink for he’s worth listening to, both in and out of school. A cheerful, likeable fellow is he. GENE STOUGHTON “Sooty” ELMER STANTON Popeye “PopeyeV favorite pastime seems to l e chewing tobacco and trying to evade work. He also l elieves that life's nothing more than hard lal or and a little rest, but surely he doesn’t mean it. Vice President of Hi-Y. Baseball 1. 2. 4. Football Varsity t. 2. 3, 4. Basketball Varsity 3, 4. Color Committee. “Sootv’ title to his outstanding athletic ability, is one of the l est known of our classmates. He is 32’s most promising candidate for the All-American. MABLE STONE “Mabe” Mai le’s good disfKisition has won her many friends. Much in evidence at school Mable would be among the first missed if absent. JAMES STRANFOR1) Jim” Jim’s the boy we see driving around in the little Austin. In the future we wouldn’t lie surprised to see him driving around in a big truck and hear of him as the owner of some big dry cleaning establishment. NORMAN STONER ‘Norm” President of Room No. 10. 3. President of Room No. 27. 4. Secretary of French Club 4. Cast of Klmer.” County S| ellinB Contest 2, 3, 4. Debat ins Team 4. Norman is one of the few pupils in our class who really does lielong to the intelligensies. His marks are always far aliove the average, and he is the liest debater in the school. All in all, he makes up one of those rare types who is an asset to the school and to the community in which he lives. VESTA STOUDT Secretarial Club. Vesta is one of our cpiiet girls who are exceptionally clever in classes. We could say lots of nice and cute things about her but we advise all curious persons to make her accpiaintance. JOSEPH STRICKLAND “Joe” Board of Commercial Club. Stage Manager of Senior Play. Basketball 3. 4. Varsity 4. Joe’s height is not by any means his only virtue, but it sure helps him on the basketball floor. Joe’s a great kid, and he plays the game straight. LORETTA SULLIVAN Secretarial Club. A nice girl with a sweet personality. That’s Loretta. She’d make a swell private secretary if some nice youth doesn’t change her plans. Phyllis and she are great pals. 1 cS 3.;. OilCan 44 EDWIN SUTLEY “Ed” President of Home Room No. 15. Glee Club. Ed is one of our “he” men from Salina. His chief ambition is to become a great game hunter and to appear on our honor roll every month. Good luck, Ed. WINIFRED TARR “Winnie” Be Square Club. French Club. Member of G. R. Council 4. “Winnie” is a great giggler both in school and out. Nevertheless, she seems to be an industrious worker and capable of any undertaking. HELEN THOMPSON “Snook” Be Square Club 2. 3. 4. Library Club. We seldom see Snook without “13.” She seems to be a quiet, demure damsel but from what we re heard she isn’t always that way. In fact, she seems to attract quite a few of the stronger sex. RICHARD TURK “Dick” Junior Play. Senior Play Committee. Baseball I, 2, 3, 4. Captain 3. Senior Play. Another accomplished young man who has time to act, play baseball and be the boy friend of a certain young lady. We don’t know which he informs the best, but we know he excels in all three. LOIS TURNER “Lulu” Senior Orchestra. Lois, who hails from Reno, is an accomplished flute player. She has already studied with some very fine teachers and we will probably see her teaching or playing in a large orchestra dome day. As she is conscientious of her own accord, she needs no urging from us. AARON VIEYRA “Pete” When Aaron enrolled in our school in his Junior year, lie set many a female heart throbbing. This dark, handsome sliick has gained a lot of friends during his stay in Senior High, not only of the pupils, but of the teachers as well. IRENE VAN DYKE Virtue and graces sj eak what no other words can utter. Dorothy is a very nice girl and we have our suspicions that somebody else thinks so too. JOHN WAITKUS “Pogy” Football Varsity 1. 2. 3, 4. Baseball t. 2. 3. 4. Basketball 3. 4. Track 3. Whose voice is that which seems to penetrate throughout the entire building? Why. it is the mellow voice of one of our outstanding athletes and I‘m sure he needs no introduction. Well, Johnnie, here’s a bit of advice. Treat Dorothy like a lady. 45 I 932 JAMES WALLACE “Jim” Senior Orchestra. Glee Club. Ambitious? Well, I’ll say, He not only has managed to get good marks, but also has succeeded in holding a job after school. I le is one of the many members of the Senior orchestra and has proved his worth to that organization. Maybe it is because a fair maiden by the name of Elizabeth plays opposite him. CLARENCE WATSON “Bud” Here's Bud. He isn’t a rosebud but nevertheless he’s a blooming good fellow. Bud’s ambition is to get a good education and no doubt will do this old world some good in the days to come. PAUL WEAVER “Pete” Here is one of those fortunate mortals who study and succeed in passing their subjects and yet not show the effects of it. ELIZABETH WELSH “Betty” Betty lives out in the wild, open spaces. Perhaps that is why she has such a free spirit. They say there was a man from the city, but alas—? ETHEL WENSEL “Sis” If you’ve anything to be teased about, stay away from “Sis for she’ll not let anything pass over her head. If you want to give her some of her own medicine, just mention Rouseville. OTTO WHALEY “Ot” Dramatic Club. Orchestra. “Ot has a mania for the orchestra, his Essex, sunstrokes and his pal, Jim. He and Jim are always together, and they cause the teacher’s no little worry with their pranks. DONALD WHATFORD “Don” Here’s one of the sheiks of our class and he certainly is popular with the boys and I believe with the girls, too. We are very proud of Don, and delight in having him on our graduating list of ’32. FLORENCE WHEELER “Flap” Glee Club. Junior Play Committee. Here’s one of those lucky maidens who never has to worry about who’s taking her to the next dance. If it isn’t “I lutch, there is sure to be someone else. PHYLLIS WIERBINSKI “Phid” Commercial Club. Phyllis carried off first place in a style show conducted by the Commercial Club and certainly deserved the honor. Resides her shapely form, Phyllis is one of the sweetest girls in '32. WALTER WILLIAMS “WaIt” Art Editor of Oil Can. “Oh, an artist’s life is not an easy one.” But who said Walt takes it easy? Not on your life! He’s always sketching at something and as you know. “Practice makes Perfect.” OLIVE WISE “Pickles” If everyone liked Latin as well as Olive does, teaching would he just a bed of roses for Miss Mackenzie. But Olive had been well rewarded for she received very high marks and was one of the best Virgil students in the class. KENNETH WOLBERT “Ken” The son of a grocery man. and Ken certainly knows his groceries. No doubt, he will follow in his father’s footsteps in this profession and will be very successful, we feel sure. _ Die OilCan WILLIAM WONSETTLER “Bill” Football 3. 4. Varsity 4. Not only can Bill play football but he can keep the same girl for two years. We haven’t heard for certain, but we surmise that wedding bells aren’t far off. Good luck. Bill. JOHN WOOLLEY “Scuz” Senior Dance Committee. Football 3. 4. Varsity 4. The big hamdsome youth from the West End. John certainly can claim the physique of a football player and has made good use of it during the past two years. GERALD YAPLE “Jerry” Orchestra. Belles of Beaujolais.” Glee Club. Jerry is a very tall fellow who loves to give oral topics on personal experiences. And then we musn’t forget that he plays a string bass that is almost as big as himself. M ABEL YINGLING Girls Trio 1. 2. 3. Secretary of Dramatic Club 4. Director of Whose Money?” Junior Play. Commencement Play. Debating Team 4. Cast of Bells of Beaujolais. Mabel excels in acting, singing, and public speaking. As a result it is easy to see she is quite an accomplished young lady. Beside all her numerous activities, she has still had time to keep the same boy friend for three years. 47 3 MARY YORKE Junior Play. Junior Dance Committee Oil Can Staff. Senior Hi- News 4. Basketball 2. Latin Club. French Club. Glee Club Who could resist the smiling Irish eyes of this young lass? Mary possesses one of those rare personalities that everyone would like to have. As a result she is a friend to all. MARTHA YOUNG “Margy” Secretary of Room No. 20. This young lady is very determined in the way she goes at her lessons in order to get them right, and she usually succeeds. She has little to say, but when she does speak even Prof. Thompson is moved. PAUL ZACCARIA “Zacs” Although Paul is one of the smallest boys in our class, lie has the biggest heart. Paul is one of the proud possessors of an O through his utmost efforts and assistance to the managerial staff. Just drop in at the Y. M. C. A. and you surely will find Paul. VENOL ZEIGLER Venol is a very studious girl. She I elieves in working hard arid not advertising her virtues. We are glad to count her among our classmates. ROY ZEIGLER “Roy” P. D. Club. We almost missed Ron because of his short stature, but we cannot afford to omit this valuable little member of our class. He has managed to secure his credits and we are very proud to have him graduate with the C'lass of ’32. HELEN ZUBER “Hub” Commercial Club. “Gypsy Rover.” “Pepita.” If you’ve an ear for gossip and good jokes, get in touch with “Hub.” Her own personality adds to the interest of her tales. 48 Class Poem 1932 V ISTERIO Hence, feeble Prophecy. Your glamorous tales of future thrill me not You preach a lot of rot; Though your predictions usually are dressy That never measure to My expectations. Get you to the blue And floating rosey hue Of cloud-constructed castles in the sky Which tumble when the eye But blinks. Realities with you are few. But come thou, Clio, with thy art-Speak of those who will depart Ere long, some to colleges, Others to their marriages. Part will go, a job to bother; Others work a willing father. But thou tell us of their past; Tell us of the things that last Only in their memory; Chant to us their history. In two buildings split by many Streets and River Allegheny Dwelt the ('lass of ’32. They found high school very new. And trying for a good impression, They found no time for fun that session. But the next they cut ’er loose. (Oh, they’re when they choose) Awful things they did for fun: Whispered and used chewing gum. At South remained still half the team; South Breeze began ’neath their regime Lincoln’s thoughts ran not that way; They rolled their sleeves and gave a play. Kings they were in both the schools; Teased the teachers, broke the rules. Till, with hesitating tread. They passed beneath the Thompson head. And they, with their pep subdued, Forgot their pedagogic feud. That was until they saw at length That in union there is strength. Someone suggested they ought to Take a vote, they chose Dode Porter For the chair with good reaction: Committees soon got into action. Dances, plays, etc. Were given for the better of The class. Then came the mighty fight In which the Seniors sunk from sight, Ignomoniously beaten. Juniors thought naught of defeating Great big Seniors. Zaccaria, Boy, he licka without trya Fellows like gorrilla Borland, Everybody knew beforehand Who would win; same as this year ’32 can’t miss it, don’t fear. Even though they raise their eyebrows As if they are a bunch of highbrows, They're supercilious with reason: Hear the tale of their last season— Things had scarcely begun When the Seniors chose Bob Young As leader of their final gang, Starting things off with a bang. First, as their initial caper, They began the Senior paper. First a dance and then a play Were left in their triumphant way. The monumental Oil Can, Cov’ring quite the four years' span, Now lifts its tall and lofty spire (Hilton lifts it six feet higher.) Of prophecy, I nothing know So I cannot commencement show. But judging from the past I see, This class looks pretty good to me. 49 History of Class 1932 It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll-, I am master of my fate : I am captain of my soul. Once in the clear, dead days in B. C., (Before Chemistry), four years ago, a group of young innocents, freshly washed and combed and resplendent in “store ’ clothes, known individually as “darling” by fond, loving parents came to be collectively known as Freshmen to the hard-hearted teachers and “the upper classmen.” Little did we think as we began to struggle along the trail of higher education that we should be put down in the history (indifferently written, to be sure) as the immortal class of 1932. During our Freshman and Sophomore years, our class resembled a “house divided against itself” due to the fact that part of us were from Lincoln and part from South. Much rivalry existed between the schools in basketball, both boys and girls. Summer vacation has ended and we slowly trudge our way either over the bridge or down the hill—The United Class of 1932. As lowly Juniors, we collec-ted in the Main Study Hall on October 27, 1930, with W illiam Liddle, the Senior President, presiding to elect our officers. Lord High Executor.....................................Gordon Porter Assistant Lord High Executor........................... Betty Bruner Penner...........................................Isabelle McDermid William Lilly, the fourth officer holding the empty money-bag of our infant class. Miss Vann Ornum and Miss McAtee were elected our honored faculty advisers. We chose cautiously our Dance Committee, the results being Neal McBride, Chairman; William Crosby, Mary Yorlce, Mary Alyce Griggs, and Henry Hunter. Our first brawl was held December 5, with all of us venturing forth in our new party-dresses. The results of this dance strengthened our confidence and we chose our Play Committee: Jack Pierce, Chairman; Charles Dale. Florence McCullough, Robert Young, George Kbert, Florence Wheeler and Lena Siegal. We started spring with our play, “Apple-Blossom Time,” April 27 and 28, with Mary Ellen Isherwood, Robert Young, Mary Yorke, William Crosby, Gordon Porter, Dorothy Bieber, Harold Hilton, Charles Dale, Louise Highgate, Florence McCullough, Lena Siegal, and Mabel Yingling taking part. Jack Pierce acted as our most enterprising business manager and Mr. Lewis was our very capable director. Again our class was victorious as Juniors, when we won the Field Day Meet and added to our possessions a beautiful trophy which was presented to the winner by the School Board. We hope that we will be able to keep it; there is no doubt we will. Our confidence had been restored anti we elected our Prom Committee: Neal McBride, Chairman; Christopher Russell, David Hanna, Betty Bruner, Dorothy Bieber, Florence McCullough, Charles Smith. Oh, boy! what a Prom! 'Phis was held at Sugarcreek on June 16. Everybody was out, all decked out and did we enjoy Don Bestor? And now for the Junior Picnic, that is, the Senior and Junior Picnic. The Junior Committee consisted of Henry Hunter, David Hanna, Edith Lewis, Helen Rose, and John Woolley. Everybody returned from Conneaut Lake two pounds heavier and very happy after a pleasant day of swimming and taking in the amusements. Everybody was a little dizzy in the head after rifling the Thriller. iSSS Another chapter of our life closed. We returned to school after an exciting vacation, as “The Dignified Seniors of the Senior High School.” Having congregated in the Main Hall, our class of '32 elected their officers for the coming year with our former president, Gordon Porter, presiding. The results of the elections were: Lord High Executor Robert Young Assistant Lord High Executor Florence McCullough Penner Dorothy Hodge Purser Harold Hilton Now we are entering our last year at dear old Senior in full possession of “les murs de l’ecole.” “Hot-Cha,” along came Maurice Lord and his Hot-Cha Boys, and we had our first “hop” of the season and what a success! The committee responsible for this merry time was “Pat” DunLany Chairman; “Dot” Bieber, “Chuck” Dale, “Speed” Isherwood, “Herb” Young, and “Scuz” Woolley. The next feature on the program was our class play, “Inside Out,” with Betty Bruner, Florence McCullough, Dorothy Bieber, Marjorie McFall, Beatrice Anderson, Isabelle McDermid, Robert Cavanaugh, Harold Hilton, Richard Turk, and James Smith taking part. Jack acted as our business manager, and Franklin Hausman and Joseph Strickland as our stage managers and Henry Hunter, our publicity manager. Maxine Ferguson was property manager. Mr. Lewis was our capable director. We now realized that we had “beaucoup de talent” in our class. Spring was drawing near and it was time to think about the Oil Can, our year book. We elected the Oil Can Committee which consisted of Harold Hilton, Chairman; Dorothy Beiber, Robert Cavanaugh, Mary Alyce Griggs, John McCray, George Ebert, Helen Rose, Gordon Porter, and David Hanna. The Ring and Pin Committee was also chosen at this convention. The results were: Janet George, George Ebert, Lois Richards, John Waitkus, James Smith, Dorothy Byers, and Betty Bruner. Gene Stoughton, Arthur Muldoon, Katherine Mc-Cready and Ruth Phuillips were elected as our Color Committee. The musical talent of our class was displayed in the operetta, “Belles of Beaujolais,” which was displayed March 29, 30, .31, and April 2. We regret that we are unable to account for the results of the class fight, Senior Banquet, May Dance, and Picnic as the history was finished before these events.

But Harold is not an ordinary man. That is why he was chosen our Editor-in-Chief and why our Oil Can is the best ever. 59 ASS’T COACH COLLINS COACH WELLS FACULTY MGR. McALEVY COACH WELLS Football teams will have their day of fame—pass into unavoidable obscurity—but Oil City teams, its athletes of the past, of the present, will carry through later years a stamp—an indelible stamp—of Wells. Coach Wells has not been alone in the perfection of these men, and those who are on the way to perfection; for with him in their development is envolved Oscar Collins, Assistant Athletic C oach. Faculty Manager McAlevy has been the inspiring, moving force behind Oil City High school football for several years. He always had a word of cheer for everyone. He looked after the fortunes of the athletic teams and kept the younger, less experienced players on the go. ___________________0___________________® TV- 1931 FOOTBALL SQUAD LETTERMEN LILLY WAITKUS STOUGHTON MULDOON YOUNG KENNEDY PORTER WONSETTLER DALE WOOLLEY SAMPSELL NEAL McBRIDE, 1930 Coach.............................H.

He always played a heady and a hard game. On defense he broke up many attempted punts and stopped or turned in most of the plays directed at him. On the offense he made many spectacular catches. GENE STOUGHTON—Tackle Captain Gene’s absence next year from the gridiron will be lamented by the Blue and White followers but our traditional opponents will rejoice. Gene, in his four years of playing developed into one of the most spectacular linemen to grace a local eleven. Fans will always remember this twice elected captains' defensive work for years to come. BILL LILLY Quarterback Bill has been field general for the past three years and he sure has done a commendable work. He used the OF Bean in pulling the team out of tough spots many times. Handicapped by injuries he failed to make his letter in his freshman year but his work in the last three years made up for it. Congratulations “Bill.” JOHN WAITKUS—Fullback Let us introduce the Red Grange of the Oil City High School. John’s long runs will be remembered by the fans throughout this section for years to come. If he ever got an open field it was GOOD BYE until he reached the pay-off strip. He has pulled many games out of the fire for the Blue and White and some day we hope he will be doing the same for some college— and why not? MIKE MULDOON—Guard Credit belongs to Mike for the services he has rendered to the team for the past four years. Although never outstanding, he was the most consistent player on the team. He has played a steady game throughout his high school days, and appreciation can hardly be expressed in the small space we are allowed. Incidentally “Mike is the proud possessor of one of those white sweaters. CHRIS RUSSELL—Guard This boy will be greatly missed by next year’s team. Although “Chris was not a first string man the opposing teams soon found out that it was almost next to impossible to make gains through his side of the line. He showed much improvement during the latter part of the season, playing a fine game at Franklin and doing exceptionally well at Titusville. Chris was quite a scrapper and never stopped until the last whistle was blown. BOB YOUNG—Guard “Sis” has finished three years of fine service with the Blue and White. He was one of the best clippers and blockers on the team. He also aided, in a big way, in backing up the line. Herb’s speed enabled him to be in almost every play on the defense, always showing a clean fighting spirit which characterized his play. JOHN WOOLLEY—Center “Scuzz”, a man who was the keystone member of the Blue and White squad during the past two years, did much to aid the Oilers in its success. His work on the defense stood out brilliantly this year. He was instrumental in making the Oil City line one of the strongest High School football lines in this section. John not only excels in the class room but on the white ribbed greensward. Woolley leaves a gap in the line that Coach Wells will have difficulty to a certain degree in filling. WAYNE ACKLIN—End “Ackerman” was a capable reserve for the championship team of ’30. Starting the season at tackle. Coach Wells shifted him to end because a dearth of end material existed. His work against Meadville when the Tippinites seemed to be holding their own against the Oilers was spectacular. When it came to stopping plays. Ackerman was always on top—that is after he had thrown his man. DAN DUN LANY—Halfback As manager, Pat surprised Coach Fox by spectacular runs while at Football Camp. Therefore, a new manager was found and Dun Lany cinched a regular position as halfback. In the Warren game, Pat proved that he was a man with drive from the viewpoint of side-stepping man or giving him the stiff arm. We gasp when we recall how Snaky-Hips Dun Lany s ball-punching toe snatched many a game from the fire. BILL WONSETTLER -End “Wonsie” was a hard and willing worker and one who could be depended upon to do his best in every game. He emerged from the bustle of the season, content that he had done the best that was in him. Bill's slogan was “Win with Wonsie in.” BILL KENNEDY—Tackle Bill, prominent in Coach Wells' reserve forces, has handed in his moleskin outfit for the last time. Alertness and fight are the sailent characteristics one observes in Bill on the field of battle. We all wish Bill luck if he continues his pigskin career in College. JACK PIERCE—Manager Consistency is one of the most essential characteristics in the make-up of a Senior student manager. Jack had it, and deserves praise for the cheerful manner in which he completed the minor details that arise when a varsity football team travels. NEAL McBRIDE—Manager ’29-'JO “Chief” is the surviving member of the McBride-McFate football managerial reign that saw the Oilers ride roughshod over all opponents. He was the wonder man who performed his duties in flawless manner. McBride was always there with anything from a shoestring to a headgear. 1931 FOOTBALL RESULTS o. c.

The squad, after a week at camp quickly rounded into shape; the few positions that were left open being easily filled. The Oilers in their first battle of the season played with such versatility and precision that every one who witnessed the game went home with one word on their lips, “CHAMPIONS.” ('licking away in flawless manner in every game the Oilers were looking foreward to an undefeated season when Sharon stepped in with the big upset of the season. The Oilers went into the Sharon anticipating a good game of football but the Sharon coach had his men playing over our heads. The final game of the year is always looked forward to as the most interesting game of the year. Through the mediums of good plays and well planned attacks the Oilers ran roughshod over the “Nursery” to take the annual Turkey Day Classic by a big score.

He was in the midst of every skirmish and usually came out with the ball in his possession. He was a great asset to help the basketball team to go as far as it did. STRICKLAND Center Because of his reliability in readily relieving Holden, Joe earned his letter as substitute center. Because he was quite tall he could conveniently get the tip from the opponents on many occasions. He played a wonderful defensive game and also showed much ability under the basket. WAITKUS Forward I nder the supervision of Prof. Andy Gump, John became adept in the art of basketball. On the floor he was one of the headiest players that ever donned the Blue and White. He was always fighting for the ball and was a sure shot when points were needed. EBERT —Forward Bud is the handsome, willowy forward who attracted great attention when the varsity went on the floor. Ebert proved to be a valuable utility man and could be depended upon when Wells needed him. Many points resulted from Bud’s passes and he himself chalked up a respectable number of buckets. His reliability was well shown in the Titusville game in which he was high scorer. LILLY—Forward, (Captain 3-4) Bill held his prestige throughout high school athletics but especially in basketball. Lilly, without a doubt, is one of the best and most powerful scoring forwards that has ever been graduated from our Alma Mater. He, as captain, has led the team through two very successful seasons and we know that Coach Wells will have a difficult time in filling the vacancy. We wish you the same luck in college, Bill. PORTER—Forward Porter, the flashy end in football, excelled also in basketball. Dode earned two letters in this sport. Playing guard the first part of the season, Coach shifted him to forward after much consistent scoring on Dode’s part. His versatility is remarkable, playing forward, center or guard with equal skill and readiness. RHOADES—Manager Under the tutelage of the “Immortal lek” last year Bob turned out to be an excellent basketball manager. We feel sure that the capability with which Rhoades handled his job helped in more than one way in the turning out of a championship team. He performed tasks that seemed of petty importance to the onlookers but meant much to the comfort of the players. r%'.i IfV | ------ Mt 'PP !!■ ;nY OQfVK, j� s- «n« if. iflj OIL CITY HIGH TURNS BACK FRANKLIN IN CRUCIAL BATTLE, 20 17 DEFENSE ACE OIUMS OH 11 PICK CAMPS ains bwcep Golfers Off Agua Fairway K� n Cj« H t U '5.000 0u .

The Varsity team was almost intact from the previous season. From the start the Oilers offense and defense were outstanding. After the first three games Oil City was rated as having the most powerful offense in this section. The Oilers record remained clean until the second semester when the Eight Semester ruling forced three of the mainstays of the team—Lilly, Waitkus, Stoughton—out of competition. With a practically new line-up the Oilers entered into the second part of the season undaunted by their apparent loss. Aside from one defeat handed them by Farrell the new team completed a very successful schedule by being crowned CHAMPS of this section. Thus earning the chance of competing in the District Tourney at Grove City. However Strong-Vincent blasted the Oilers hopes by defeating them in the first game. Oh! Hum. The Oilers won the Conontike’s trophy this year. Coach Wells Capt. Waitkus Manager White Lettermen—Akam, Borland, De Lucia, Fitzgerald, Lilly, Sonoski, Stoughton, Turk, Walentoski.

With the Sluggers Two weeks after the basketball team hung up their equipment to allow the spring sports to continue the brilliant record of athletics at Oil City Hi, the Baseball team began its dusty but successful campaign under the direction of our versatile coach “Hud” Wells. With a goodly number of lettermen back from the previous season “Hud” quickly succeeded in getting a cooperative combination together. This team, living up to the standards set by Oil City teams that have almost faded from our memories won the sectional championship of N. W. P. I. A. L. winning 6 victories and no defeats. We are proud of this team because of their excellent showing in every department of the game and our only regret in that it is to be discontinued this year. SEASON RECORD 0. C.

The story centers around a family in moderate circumstances who suddenly find all their dreams come true. Maybelle Winston, a rich heiress, is in love with Jack Parker, the young son of this family. Maybelle and Jack both realize that a marriage would be impossible under the circumstances. Maybelle, unknown to Jack, enters the Parker home as a maid to help Mrs. Parker, who has worked hard all her life, and justly deserves a rest. Jack is powerless to make Maybelle, who by this time is “Mabel,” leave his home, nor can he disclose to his family that this is the wealthy woman that he wishes to marry. Maybelle secures Mr. Parker and Jack good positions in the Winston Vacuum Sweeper Company, of which she has the controlling power. Bill Jason, Mrs. Parker’s cousin, who has long been the family sponger and talker, is given a partnership in the Auto Exchange, and rises in his already high opinion of himself. The family buys new furniture and plans to buy a new home. Bill Jason has long been engaged to Jane Masters, and has kept her waiting by promises to work out something big some day, but when the chance comes, he breaks the engagement. The family, of course, never realize that “Mabel” the capable maid, is responsible for all of this sham prosperity. Mrs. Parker and Betty, who received a wonderful opportunity in Social Welfare Work, thanks to Maybelle, are the only ones who seem to keep their heads amid all of this. Betty is in love with Donald Westwood, who, two months before had returned from college with high ideals of the “aristocracy of brains”, who but with a good job, considers his science aspirations childish and refuses to return to college, much to Betty’s agitation. Maybelle, seeing the tragic state of affairs that her efforts have brought on, sells her interest in the vacuum sweeper company for five million dollars. Mrs. Walters, the neighborhood gossip receives the news that the company has gone bankrupt. She discloses this startling fact to the Parkers along with her own version of why Maybelle entered the Parker home. She says that Maybelle wanted to marry Jack but could not as long as the family was poor in comparison with her, and that she was testing them to see how they would act if they did receive so much money. Maybelle is summoned, but shedecides that it’s too much of a mess to straighten out, so she leaves, assuring the family that she was sincere in her efforts, and that she had learned to love them. However, the family is awakened to the absurdity of their actions, and see things as they are. Mrs. Parker sends Jack after Maybelle, because they realize, too, that Maybelle is a dear, sweet girl, and not a proud rich heiress. Jack returns with his bride, Maybelle, and the play closes with a wedding breakfast that celebrates their wedding, announces Bill's and Jane’s, and forecasts Betty’s and Donald’s. 76 ■ “Inside Out” • Senior Class Play CAST OF CHARACTERS DAD PARKER.. _____ MA PARKER JACK PARKER..

ISABELLE McDERMID “Apple Blossom Time” • Junior Class Play “Apple Blossom Time,” a three-act comedy was presented April 10, 11, 1931, at the South Side Junior High School under the direction of F. LaMonte Lewis. Bob Matthews is a handsome likeable chap of 23, who impersonates as the guardian of Betty Anne Stewart, a slip of a girl of eighteen with beauty and abounding vitality. He despises the girl from the start; and Loretta Harris, this helpless, doll type, only makes matters worse between the pair. Charlie Lawrence and Nancy Prescot typify the ideal couple. In the course of the play, Bob catches glimpses of the loving side of Betty's character and by the end of the play he has learned to love her. Cal Perkins, the rather lazy, country store type of forty who is usually in the state of gloom because of Polly Biddle, the housekeeper’s constant rebuffs. Annabel Spriggins, a giddy old maid of 45, tries to gip Malvina Kurtz out of her only chance of a husband, in spite of the fact that Malvina ends up with proposals from both Speed McClosky and Micky McGuire, a back-alley type Irishman. Mrs. Forest is a prim and erect woman, unsympathetic toward all the world in general. Bob Matthews...... Charlie Lawrence.

The operetta runs a delightful presentation of an interesting story and beautiful songs and dances. The plot of the story dealt with the experiences of an American party when they landed on the coast of Normandy during a holiday season. The Duke of the island is giving a masquerade party, and the American party is invited. To make it a real masquerade, the American girls change costumes with the French maidens. The excitement enters when the Countess, betrothed to the Duke, changes costumes with Aunt Sarah, and the Duke makes love to the Countess, thinking her to be the American woman. The Countess realizes that she alone is destined to become the Duchess, and as Aunt Sarah has no aspirations in that direction, the story ends happily for all concerned. The success of the production lay in the untiring efforts of Mr. 1 larland Mitchell and the unselfish co-operation of everyone. The following cast comprised the speaking roles: The Duke Kenneth Watson Tony Bill Jobson The Countess. Mabel Vingling Yvonne . . Lois Mess Mr. Render Oscar Lamev Susette Aunt Sarah Jessup..

The club is the only purely character building club for boys in the High School. Meetings are held every Thursday evening during the school year, in the Y. M. C. A., at 6:30, with a supper preceding the regular program. The program includes talks, discussions, special music, Bible readings, and study and entertainment. The purpose of the weekly meeting is to give information to members about life problems, and inspiration to go out into the school and community to live clean. Many leading men of the community or nearby vicinity have sponsored the club discussions. The program outside the regular weekly meetings included distributions of football folders with high school football schedules, selling hot dogs at football games, Father and Son supper, Week of Prayer in cooperation with the Girl Reserves, School Spirit Campaign with Franklin and Rocky Grove High Schools. Sending delegates to Older Boys’ Conference, Hi A ( amp, organization of reading circles in club, awarding all-around development cup and medals, Faculty and School Board Meeting, Pre-Easter interviews for members, best girl banquet, all Hi A meetings for clubs of Northwest Pennsylvania, cooperation with Y.

The plays were very well received and furnished an evening of delightful entertainment. “Dust of the Road was the outstanding performance, and it was repeated on account of the merit of its production. The club purchased a silver cup upon which the name of the person in each production who excels in character portrayal and stage direction is to be inscribed. Florence McCullough received the award for the portrayal of “Prudence Steele” in “Dust of the Road.” The Dramatic Club also presented “Thank You, Doctor,” April 18-19, 1932 at the Latonia Theatre in conjunction with an appropriate program.

Senior Secretarial Club The Senior Secretarial Club made its debate this year. It is composed of the second-year Shorthand students and gives an opportunity for the girls to get into office problems outside of the class period. During the year the members have taken excursions to offices to observe activities and equipment. The Club also gave a playlet, entitled, “Wanted, A Secretary,” written and directed by Jennie May Crawe. One of the most successful undertakings of the year was the Style Show under the direction of Marjorie McFall, showing the inappropriate and appropriate dress for office wear.

And what a success! The staff, under the supervision of Mr. Lewis, faculty advisor, and Bill Crosby, Editor-in-Chief, published this breezy pamphlet by-weekly. The meetings are held in the library during the eighth period. The members of the staff, in addition to writing up material for the publication, are taught journalism. The January 28 issue proved by its masthead that we had become a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. We are sure that this activity started by the classes of '32 and '33 will continue to register life at Senior. wmanmmmmtmam Commencemen t PI ay For the first time in the history of Senior High School, the graduating class will present a play on Commencement night. The play, “The Passing of the Third Floor Back”, will not have been given with this book is published, but it will be included in all the happy festivities of graduation that are as now unknown. It is sure to be successful, as there is a great deal of dramatic ability in our class. Mr. F. I.amonte Lewis coached the play, and Helen Jane Owens acted as assistant coach.

Mabel Yingling Louise Highgate Margaret Kuntz .Dorothy Hodge .Charles Perrine 94 C H R O N I C L E S The Passing of the Third Floor Hack Part I. Part II. For God so loved the world, He gave His son. The Christ, whose life was love, whose death Has purged the earth. Twelve men his fire touched And in them fused the Christian flame of love. “Into the corners of the earth ye go—” He spoke, and as when in a crystal pool A pebble falls, the widening circles move Smoothly to the all-confining banks, So moved the word of Christ throughout the world. Still walks His spirit on the edge of life; The weary hand He touches, giving strength; The weary heart leaps at his quiet call. We drift aside, he takes our lonely hand And leads us to the flock without reproach. When they first find the earth, all men are good; But with their first draught of its tainted air The evil of the sphere instills itself Within their hearts. Some have the power to force Their minds to listen to naught but the good But others cover up the holy light With avarice and lust and selfishness, And so eclipse the brightness of their souls. But still it burns, this flame, and, though unseen , Needs but a gentle hand to move the cloak To show its incandesence to the world. Behold upon our stage eleven men Whose hearts are blanketed with selfish care; And one man following the wake of Christ Who lifts the veil, reveals the holy light. Some spots on earth are darker than the heart Of Chaos and as much perplexed. Within The close-confining toils of such a one Were held in base and abject sharh the lives Of men and women foul and black as it: A shrew, a slut, a cad, a cur, and more Who had no impulse but which led to plans For self-aggrandizement; no upward aim. No hope, no fear, save that some scheme to add To wealth or power or place should go awry. But yet a spark of fuller, deeper life, Of high and altruistic thought remained. For when the one who typified those things Which they had scoffed at and had scorned to own— To their dejected lives had brought the good They long had missed, and when he made appeal To Better Selves long smothered in the dust Of selfishness they took him in; and while They sneered, yet deep within they heard his voice, And felt his truth, and searched their hearts, and changed. And were alive to all that makes the world A fit abode for those who dwell therein. William Crosby Louise Highgate Hu Ha ml C. Mitchell Io Mr. Mitchell belongs the credit for the success of our musical organizations, and on him much of their future success depends. The glee clubs have been greatly developed under his leadership. We sincerely hope that Mr. Mitchell will continue his work as musical instructor in our schools and that he will meet with as much success as in the past. F. La Monte Lewis • 'I'he C lass of ’32 wishes to extend to Mr. Lewis its sineerest appreciation of his untiring efforts in behalf of the class to make their dramatic endeavors the splendid success they have been in both, the junior and senior years. Thanks enough can hardly be given for the generous work which he has contributed. Dorothy Zeigler • W ords are not able to express our appreciation for t he great interest that Miss Zeigler has taken in developing and raising the music standards of our school. On account of her patience and aspiring fortitude, the students of our school have made a great advancement in the knowledge of music.

I couldn’t find my pants.” INTERMEZZO FROM CAVALERIA RUSTICANNA It begins, hesitatingly as though groping for a theme, but an almost imperceptable coupling grasps it, swings it into the full rich tones of the delicate melody, hirst skipping lightly on a group of triplets the song assures itself of perfect balance, then flows out like a mellow golden river. Round, liquid tones pour forth, blending into a delicious harmony. Rapids: instantaneously the waters cloud: they swirl momentarily into an eddy. Louder and louder the roar becomes, the entire orchestra straining its dilated throat. For a moment it dies, and a flute-like violin spans the gap, till with all the fury of the tempest the raging beauty bursts forth in a torrent of melody. Like the lull that follows a storm, the quivering string grasps the song, its thrilling resonance bearing the thought to its lingering end. FASCINATING STREET The most valuable street in New York City is a private one—that, Hilton Alley, which connects 4th and 45th Streets. Only one car is allowed to use it, that l eing the limousine belonging to Harold Hilton, the theatrical producer. BACK TO HOLLYWOOD Flo McCullough delivering a parting shot that “New Yorkers are too impolite has gone back to Hollywood. The flurry around Fifty-ninth Street where she lived has quieted. There remains only the memory of a tall woman with big feet and wearing a turtlenecked sweater, walking swiftly along Central Park South. Reporters found that she would not talk, which is unusual for Flo, although she did not escape the news- photo boys. When she apf eared in public, it was always with her three close friends, Crosby, Sherman and Perrine. CO-STARS Not long ago, Dorothy Beiber, came to Chicago to see John Harry more play in “Hamlet. Now Miss Beil er is an exceptionally ardent enthusiast for Shakes-peare, and she has her own ideas as to how his works should be played. When she came to see “Hamlet. she sat in a stage box and Barrymore saw her there. Not only saw her, but as a prank, addressed most of his lines to her box. At a final curtain, he came out and made a short speech ending with “And I also want to thank Miss Dorothy Beil er for co-starring with me this afternoon. CRYSTAL GAZING INTO THE FUTURE DEPRESSION PAID TO LOAF Big league ball players will have their salaries cut right and left this year, which ought to give Mr. Johnny Waitkus a chance to make a snoot at Mr. George Herman Ruth, alias Babe Ruth. SHADY POLITICS State Senator Norman Stoner, of Philadelphia, has decider! to run for IJ. S. Senate against James Smith. That ought to be duck soup for Jimmy. SNIPPING RED TAPE Princess Isabel McDermid barely escaped l eing sent back to Europe when she first came to this country. (iovernment officials were hesitant about admitting her. Being a princess without a country, there was much controversy on the subject. When a gallant young man on the boat by the name of Henry Hunter fell in love with the princess and asked her to marry him and they were, thereby, she became an American citizen. That was 10 years ago. and they are still happily wedded. ENTERTAINED CLUB The Premier C hess Club was entertained at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Breene on Riverside Drive; Mrs. Breene was formerly Miss Betty Bruner. Three tables of chess were in play during the evening, and prizes were awarded to Mr. and Mrs. George Ebert, Mary Bouquin and Franklin Hausman. STILL DOBBING Walter Williams is still the wonderful artist he was twenty years ago. He has made enough caricatures and portraits of celebrities to fill several volumes. Among those who have posed for him are: Dorothy Porter, Ruth Horner. Ethel Lutton, Mabel Yingling, Isabelle Mackey, Elizabeth Miller and Marjorie McFall. ALFALFA JACK Jack Pierce has been raising alfalfa and hogs on his ranch at Reno, Navada, but of late he has been developing a swell side line. His ranch is becoming a (x)pular place for eloping couples. Jack knows his way around Reno so well that he can get you a divorce or he can get you married with the quickest dispatch and the most publicity possible. Dick Turk and Ruth Dillemuth are the latest to be married under the suiter-vision of Cupid Pierce. Miss Mary Alyce Griggs at last has a job for the first time in a year. Not that she couldn’t have had one, but she was paid to remain idle for twelve months. Mary Alyce is a pert and pretty brunette and one of the town’s best pianists. She signed a year’s contract with Oil City’s most popular night club just three weeks before they decided to go out of business. Mary Alyce was paid her full salary for the year, but she couldn’t accept another job during that time. SUPERNUMERARY Miss Betty Allen, who for five years was one of Broadway’s loveliest and most noted show girls, has quit the stage and has married Neil McBride, a truck driver making sixty dollars a month.

FLYING THE ALLEGHENY The first non-stop flight across the Allegheny River has l een made. Janies Henderson and Russell Ault are the heroes. For forty-one hours and ten minutes they kept the propeller of their big Bellanca turning. They are richer by $25,000, which seems to lie an insignificant sum compared with the achievement, but their names will go down in history as those of the first men to fly acros the greatest water waste in Oil City. And it is only a few years ago that it was thought a prodigious feat to fly from here to Titusville. CRYSTAL GAZING INTO THE FUTURE DOUBLE CONCERT FEATURE Evelyn Crawford, soprano-soloist, accompanied by Miss Helen Jane Owens, pianist, will appear at the l.atonia Theatre Monday evening in a recital given under the auspices of the Reno Community Concert Association. TWO OF A KIND Madam B. Genevieve Anderson once visited a London insane asylum. In a corridor an aristocratic gentleman inquired if she were not the great Madam Anderson. For years he had worshipped at her shrine arid recalled a particular night when she sang with a magnificent voice at a concert in Cleveland in which they both participated, lie had a profound knowledge of music ancl the singer could not believe he was an inmate. But he told her he had been railroaded by his first wife. Miss Snooky Moore and nothing could be done. Finally, she asked him to sit with her on a nearby bench. “I'd like to.” he said, “but I can't. I'm stuck in the mud.” Upon inquiring she found she had been conversing with Sir William Russell Jobson the noted journalist. GRAFT The many friends of Dr. Chris Russell will be glad to know that he has receive I his M. I), degree from the Columbia University of New York, and has opened a new office on the 15th floor of the Hasson Bank Building.

He has secured the services of Miss Dorothy Hodge as his private secretary, and Miss Dorothy Byers as his nurse. Dr Russell at one time played with all the leading orchestras, including Tal Henry. Give Chris a call, as he will tell you what he thinks is the matter with you on the first visit, and without elaborate hocus-pocus, mysterious conferences, and an air of alarming profundity.

POLYGAMY Every newspaper in the country today is featuring the famous divorce case of Mr. and Mrs. Rolx?rt Young. Mrs. Young, the former Mary Ellen Isher-wood insists that her husband beat her for no reason at all and appeals to the public for sympathy. While in court. Mrs. Young met an old classmate. Miss Ruth Smoyer, who is now court reporter in the Venango Countv Court House. The following witnessed testified: Misses Helen Rose. Betty Jackson, Kathryn Smith. Betty Boardman, Mr. Dan Dun Lany and Mr. Edward Rapp. NO DILEMNA HERE Charles Beiber is facing a dilemna although we fail to see why it should be called that. If he post-txmes his marriage for four years, he will inherit $50.000.00 in a lump sum. If he marries now, he will have to be satisfied with $500.00 a month for the rest of his life. This is how his father's will reads. He objected to the girl, and was of the opinion that his son’s mind would change in four years. If we were in Chuck's shoes, we’d take the $300.00 a month and marry the girl. TO HOLD OPEN MEETING Mrs. All ert Roess, will entertain members of the Woman’s Club and their friends at her home 509 Cherry Square, Tuesday evening. The following program will lx? given.
