Oil City High School - Oil Can Yearbook (Oil City, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 148 of the 1936 volume:

hu id red 1 O Mary Rebecca McAtee, who by her charming personality has endeared herself to all who have come in contact with her and in recognition of the capable manner in which she handled the “Senior-Ui News and the school play and her interest in all extra-curricular activities, we, the graduating class of 1936, respectfully dedicate this yearbook. Fo reword T T 1 HIS book is more than a compilation of pictures and words, it is a collective portrait of the student body, and reflects, in so far as a yearbook is a reflection of the life within the walls of the school, the mental, cultural, and social development of the future citizens of our country. It is also an effective demonstration of the fact that the students, despite the obligations imposed by the pursuit of their studies and extra mural activities, have found time to devote to the production of this yearbook. While it has been a labor of inexperience, it has been one of pleasure. We hope that in future years the yearbook will prove invaluable as a means of recalling pleasant memories of past events. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL . In the days when the Senior High school, as now known, was not in existence, and graduating classes of more than three hundred were undreamed of, high school students in the city attended sessions at the present Central and Pearl avenue structures. But in April, 1900, these classes were transferred to the newly constructed Senior High, which is now known as the “old building” of the school. Here students—practically all were enrolled in the college preparatory course—studied Greek and German as well as French and Latin, under the supervision of T. F. Turnbull, first principal in the new edifice. With the enrollment increasing steadily through the years, the capacity of the building was eventually reached, then passed, and finally in 1932, as a necessary outlet for the crowded conditions, was erected the present modern school. Today, its facilities and personnel on a par with larger schools, the Oil City Senior High School is rated as one of northwestern Pennsylvania’s better schools. Besides the twenty-seven classrooms in use in both buildings, there are two gymnasiums, two laboratories, three art rooms, a music room, and a printing shop. The completely equipped cafeteria can serve 150 customers, the auditorium-study hall seats a thousand, and on the shelves of the school library are more than 2000 volumes. Thus our Alma Mater! 9 10 ADMINISTRATION A ALesscigeJ ▼ Y KT l)iit a little while and another account in the scholastic ledger of life will he closed and there will have gone out from among us the greatest exodus of graduates that the Oil City High School has ever beheld. We have seen you enter as callow sophomores, have watched you bourgeon and blossom forth as upper classmen, have delightedly witnessed character develop and unfold as the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis until we have come to feel that your going will leave a void that cannot be filled. Yet only too well do we realize that you must leave us that others may come and take your place. In your parting bear with you the thought that our sympathies and kindly wishes accompany you and that we cherish ever the desire to continue to advise and assist you as you go forth to make for yourselves your own place in the sun. 12 Prof rolessor R.

By acting on the adviser’s indispensable suggestions, the members profitably operated the refreshment stand at the football games, added revenue to the treasury by the sale of school spirit pins, and managed the school play finances. Council funds were used to equip the school cafeteria with new chairs, and Council sponsorship brought nine lecturers to high school assemblages. President................................. Stephen Kowal Vice President.............................. Jack Goodrich Secretary..... Margaret Yorke Treasurer .................................. William Hill SENIORS A History of tke Cl ass o f ’36 I am just one of the many meditators who, in my solitude, allows memories of the past to creep slowly upon me. This evening my mind wanders back through the past to my beginning years of high school. Some of my present classmates originally came from South and some from Lincoln. We bid these dear old schools farewell by having an enjoyable Freshman party. In the fall wre were the first Sophomore class to take up studies in the new Senior building. We elected the following as our officers: President Harold Anderson Vice President Jean McKee Secretary Joan Jobson Treasurer Robert Ryan Faculty Adviser Mr. Dight Since we were the first Sophomore class to elect officers and were as yet inexperienced our activities were few’. We spent the remaining part of this year familiarizing ourselves with the new building and new’ faces. While I muse on this subject, my mind naturally ponders on my Junior year. To start this year off with a bang” we elected our class officers. They were: President ............................. Harold Anderson Vice President Audean Thomspon Secretary. Rachel Borland Treasurer Robert Ryan Faculty Adviser ............Carl H. Townsend My thoughts are tingling with the excitement and suspense of the mystery play, “The Devil's Eye.” Two members of our class, Bob Ryan and Helen Milner, participated in this. The Junior picnic committee was composed of: Allan Lantz, Chairman Betty Carr Betty Moorhead George Sorenson Ray Fox Harold Anderson As my mind lingers on the previously mentioned memories, it drifts through memorvland to, what seems to me, the most important event of the year—the Junior Prom. Soft lights, sweet music, hundreds of party frocks in summery shade and well groomed young gentlemen all aided in transforming Sugar Creek pavilion into a festive bower for the large social activity. After my memory train has taken me through the summer months it makes its next stop during the first week in September at the station of my Senior year. Our class was ably represented by the following officers: President.................................. Ray Fox Vice President Audean Thompson Secretary ............................. Grace Hill Treasurer Gene Williams Faculty Adviser Carl H. Townsend The Nominating Committee consisted of: Steve Kowal, Chairman Ernest Cartw’right William Weidler Betty Carr George Brooks Elizabeth Hart Eleanor Gray 22 These committees were elected at officers: RING AND PIN COMMITTEE David Sharp Audean Thompson Jean Rybak Christine White BANQUET COMMITTEE Edward Sibble Lily Baer Harold Myers DANCE COMMITTEE Elizabeth Hart Robert Ryan Almeatha Sheatz the same time as the above mentioned PICNIC COMMITTEE Allan Lantz-David McCarthy Marian Fye PLAY COMMITTEE Ernest Cartwright Harry Siegall Robert Ryan Ruby Frye ANNUAL COMMITTEE George Brooks Donald Karns Vance Tussey Salvatore Venturella Virginia Simpson Willard Lehnortt My memory pauses for a few moments upon “Nuts To You,” the hilarious farce, which was presented by the Senior class. The Seniors who participated in this were: Jack Costanza, Bob Buckley, Sam Grant, Gene Williams, Helen Johnson, Elizabeth Moore, Jack Russ, Steve Kowal, Eleanor Gray, Helen Switzer, Sarah Rhoades, Edward Reynolds, David Sharp, Earl Curtis, Harry Caldwell and Helen Milner. A reminisence of thrills, mystery, surprise, and suspense, fills my mind with recollections of the mystery play, “ hispering Walls.” Among the diligent workers of the cast were four Senior boys—Bob Buckley, Jack Costanza, Bob Ryan and Steve Kowal. Numerous members of our class took part in the opera, “Carmen” presented on February 24, 25, and 27. From here my memory drifts into the coming months, which bring to us the biggest thrills of our lives. My mind is filled with the thoughts of enjoyment and entertainment which 1 am sure we will get at the Senior Banquet in May. I his event will constitute the final, or one of the final, merry-making gatherings of the class of ’56, a celebration in direct contrast to the solemnity which will prevail at the Baccalaureate services to be held the Sunday before Commencement. I do not know of one who is not looking forward to the night of June 8, for the receiving of diplomas and also the witnessing of the play, She Stoops To Conquer. The cast of this play, which is directed by Mr. Lewis, will include: Helen Johnson, Arlene Kitelinger, Julia Koszalka, Helen Milner. Elizabeth Moore, Nina Pearson, Helen Switzer, George Brooks, Robert Buckley, Harry Caldwell, Jack Costanza, Earl Curtis, Samuel Grant, David Rosen, Stephen Kowal, Luke Kresinski, Edward Reynolds, Robert Ryan, Jack Russ, and Vance Tussey. The meditation drifting to an end brings me to the thoughts of the Junior-Senior picnic. The success of this depends largely upon the committee which was mentioned before. Time has fled until I picture the arrival of the Junior prom. Although this is the conclusion of our high school activities, it doesn’t mean the end of our many friendships. After several hours of this delightful contemplation, I realize that I must get to work in order to make some use of my high school training: therefore I set aside any remaining pleasant memories and reserve them for future enjoyment. REPRESENTATIVE MEN The Sigma Kappa Sigma was founded as an honorary Senior Key Society by the 1935 “Oil Can” with the hope that each succeeding yearbook staff would perpetuate the society by adding three representative men and three representative women to it, the selections to be made by the Senior Class in secret ballot. The present staff, believing that such a society, having its membership based on scholastic standing, extra-curricular activities, REPRESENTATIVE WOMEN friendliness, leadership and helpfulness, is worthy of enduring, presents as the selections voted by the Class of '36: Ray Fox Stephen Kowal Samuel Grant Audene Thompson Grace Hill Rachel Borland The six original members were Robert Dreher, Curtis McCarthy, Benedict Szafran, Maxine Askey, Lucille Cubbon, and Ruby Douglas.

When the days’ calisthenics are over, however, he is the most congenial friend that a woul l-hc gridder could desire. MR. H. L. WELLS Head coach of high school athletics since the fall of 1930. his football teams have won one district and three sectional cbam i ionsh i ps. Wei Is-coachec 1 basketball teams have won the sectional championship toga five t imes. MR. M. J. FERRARE Mr. Ferrare, who joined the coaching staff at mid-year, was a star footballer at Duquesne University under Elmer I.axden. t Mr. Ferrare coached the sophomore basketball varsity and this fall he will concentrate on building an able football reserve. MR. W. II. FLAW Mr. Flann, the Oilers' representative on the school board, was instrumental in developing Mitchell field. “Coach” is regarded by the boys as their most loyal supjx rter and a purvevor of candy. MR. G. F. McALEVY Resides keeping tab on Oiler finances, “Mac” sees that the team managers have sufficient work to keep them busy. His conscientious work has kept the Mitchell Avenue field in its present fine condition. BOH STEELE AUDEAN THOMPSON BOB BUCKLEY MILDRED SI IR EYE JOHN CZERW Football Manager BILL WEIDLER Basketball Manager TED WILLIAMS Football Manager 69 S Footliall L ettermen LUKE KRESINSKI— Quarter Back Luke was prevented from reaching top form by a slight knee injury. Although never a regular, his fighting spirit made him a most dependable replacement. ALEX SYNOSKI—Guard A lineman of sterling quality, action at all times. Performed for the championship team of 1935. BUD SHOUP—End, Back A fine guard and ready for With three years of Parkers' Landing varsity play behind him, Bud was outstanding in the final minutes of the Warren game, when he smashed several plays in a futile attempt to stem the tide. WILLIS McKEAN—Back Bricky was developing into an extraordinary blocker when an injury in 1932 cut short his gridiron career. His slashing blocks are often recalled. DON RHOADES—End Unquestionably one of the hardest workers on the squad, Don was j erpetually ready to dash into the game and “do or die” for the Blue and White. STEVE KOWAL—Center A football tactitian, Steve made decisions for the team during the games. Sterling play at the center position won all-sectional honors for this burly gridder. RAY FOX—End Ray played with St. Joe teams for two years, joined the Oilers in 1934, and won all-sectional honors. In 1935, he was elected captain of the all-sectional team. 70 HARRY SIEGALL—Back He had never played football until last fall, but when he did, he was everything he talked about, including a human cyclone. DON ROSSEY—Halfback Don’s conversion from a guard to a halfback proved to be a good change. A competent ball carrier, he was one of the coolest men on the field. DON MORSE—Guard Though diminutive dynamite in every game, Don reached his zenith at the Meadville fracas. One of the Oilers' “Gay Dons. he served as both center and guard. WIELARI) LEHNORTT—Fullback The long, high courses taken by pigskins which began their journeys at Lehnortt’s toe mark him as one of the finest Oil City punters in recent vears. DICK LAUER—Fullback Despite his inexperience—he didn’t report for football until his senior year—Hutch turned out to be our hardest running back. JOHN OLESZEK—Guard In practice, John harassed the first team by his clever work: in the games, he was a strong defense man. LEO KROSNICKI—Guard Leo was elected captain of the 1935 grid machine by his team mates. His line play was accorded recognition when he was berthed on the all-sectional roster. BOB RYAN—Quarterback Oiler field general whose snappy signal calling and heads-up football were especially noticeable in the Sharon defeat and the glorious Franklin victory. 71 1935 F ootball Varsity Date Score Opponent Score September 21 0 8 September 28 6 Grove City. 20 October 19. 0 Titusville 6 October 12.„ 0 Warren 34 October 5._ 0 Sharon 34 October 26. 0 Meadville 13 November 2 20 Girard 0 November 11 7 Franklin 0 Total 33 Total 11 s Played 8 Won 2 Lost 6 Tied 0 1935 Football Squad ROSTER First row, left to right—Lauer, B.

The club stands for the promotion of better school athletics and the maintenance of friendships formed during the playing season. As a result of the several meetings held this year, the club has promoted a basketball game and a roller skating party. The concluding activity of the “O” Club is its annual banquet.

Graduating Basketball Lettermen DON MORSE—Guard “Moose” was an A-number-one substitute. He was the Choch’s sixth man throughout the second half and hard floor play was characteristic of him. HARRY SIEGALL—Guard “Hvmie”—the most talked about man on the squad. Mis play won him all-sectional honors in 19.14-5. Mis floor play, his eagle eye for the basket, and his leadership were his outstanding qualities. ED SIBBLE—Guard “Ed” was the other half of the Siegall-Sibble combination. One of his finest games was played at Rocky ('.rove. Me was always a threat to any opponent and proved to be as good a floor man as he was a good shot. LUKE KRESINSKI—Forward “Luke” gained his letter last year by his speed on the court and his pluckiness in the games. This year his basketball activities were confined to coaching the senior class team and officiating at games. GEORGE REDDING Center, Guard Oil City’s sterling guard. Me won all sectional honors in 1935-6 by being one of the best defensive men in the section. Was a center in 1934-5. CHARLES RICHARDS—Guard “Chuck” proved his worth by coming from an independent team straight to the Varsity without Jayvee experience. Hard play and coolness were evident in the Meadville game here. DICK LAUER—Forward A forward of unestimable value, Dick won all sectional honors in 1935-6 and led the league in scoring with 97 points. He was elected honorary captain of the Oiler squad. ERNEST CARTWRIGHT—Forward “Bill” was a fine ball player when he turned in his togs at mid-year. Me was outstanding in the Rocky Grove Game and his play was always worthy of note. 76 Season Basketball Records nil City 23 Grove City 25 ( il City 44 Cochranton . 17 Oil City 28 Alumni 25 Oil City 46 Titusville 20 Oil City. 30 Sharpsville 29 Oil City... 28 Franklin 19 Oil City 26 F.rie Tech 31 Oil City 29 Rocky Grove 16 Oil City 20 Meadville 16 Oil City . 36 Warren 27 Oil City 31 Brookville 29 Oil City 27 Titusville . 31 Oil City 38 Grove Citv . 26 Oil City. 52 Cochranton .... 19 Oil City 24 Franklin .... 21 Oil Citv 30 Brookville 25 Oil City 42 Rocky Grove 31 Oil City ... 28 Sharpsville . 41 Oil City . 40 Meadville 27 nil City 35 Alumni 22 Oil City. 25 Sharon 36 Total. .... 682 Total 533 Won 16 Lost 5 HIGHLIGHTS Oil City’s crushing victory over Cochranton 44-17 . . .

The following members composed the team: Wellington Weidler, Harold Knglish, Donald Karnes, Eugene Williams, Glenn .Scott, Wayne Davies Robert Maul, Robert Kellner, George Sorenson, and Robert Ryan. Charles Richards and Luke Kresinski coached the champions. The inter-class league was under the supervision of Mr. H. L. Wells.

Mr. W. W. Hall, district leader of the Hi-Y clubs, was responsible for the tournament. The members of the team were: Glenn Scott, I.e Roy Carlson, David McCarthy, Robert Maul, Wayne Davies, Robert Ryan, and Wellington Weidler. Donald Karnes coached the team and Mr. Cramer of the Y. M. C. A. was the manager. ORGANIZATIONS % ■ cu This group of girls, especially selected by Miss Hoy to aid her in the library, has become proficient in many phases of library work. Besides keeping an accurate check on all visitors to the library, the staff learned how to care for and classify books. The girls bought many volumes for the library with the profit from their dime dances. During Book Week, they arranged an attractive display of nineteenth century school books which attracted considerable interest. Chemistry Cl uh Inspired by a desire for a greater knowledge of Chemistry and fascinated by various interesting experiments, a number of students congregated in the chemistry laboratory on alternate Mondays throughout the year. The club session opened with a miraculous performance, the changing of wine to water. Following this were numerous other experiments equally aweinspiring to the chemistry novice; combustion under water, spontaneous combustion, the manufacture of rubber and paint, and. an experiment on liquid light. Meetings were ably conducted under the watchful eyes and careful supervision of Mr. Skinner, the club adviser. President Secretary Treasurer Norman Young Ralph Crowthers William Hanton Latin CU The above students devoted considerable time on the second Thursday of each month to recall memorable incidents and note-worthy characters of Roman history and mythology. Aiming to promote interest in Roman activities, the Concilium Olympi purchased a set of sixty-five pictures of Roman life and a miniature Pompeian house. The success of the varied programs paid worthy tribute to the adviser. Miss Mackenzie, and to the program committee consisting of Beatrice Lauffer, chairman; Ruth Diamond, Edward Pollard, Jean Walker, and Dorothy Darr. Jane Alcorn, Louise Costanza, and Adelaide Jobson, the press committee, took charge of newspaper publicity for the organization. Salvatore Venturella...........................

However, in addition to maintaining a highly successful basketball team, the club imported noted speakers to inform and entertain its members.

A Cappella Cl loir Organized only three years ago, the mixed chorus won second place in the State Music Contest this year. The personnel of this group was, according to previous custom, selected from both other choruses, making it the select vocal organization of the school. The A Cappella Choir has been in great demand for outside appearances. They have gladly taken advantage of these opportunities by singing at various churches and taking part in the choral clinic held this year at Titusville under the direction of Morten Luvaas, noted authority on choral music. Elected members of the choir were: Sopranos, Jean McKee, Almeatha Sheatz; Altos, Peggy Norton, Vera Douglas; Tenors, Joe Venturella, David Sharp; Basses, Samuel Grant, Donald Douglas. President.____ Secretary_____ ...Grace Hill Audean Thompson Girls Cl lorus Meet the champions of the state! That is, in regards to choral music and charm. The girls have added another cup to the Senior trophy case by topping two previous wins of Oil City Girls’ Choruses with a thrilling victory at the state finals in Pottsville, Pa., this year. The girls will long remember the all night vagabond bus journey across Pennsylvania, the announcement of the result of the close competition, and hectic return through recently flood devastated valleys. Elected board members of the chorus were: Sopranos, Evelyn Allen, Anne Martin, Dorothy Owens, Jean Walker; Altos, Elizabeth Hart, Helen Slater, Virginia Tucker, and Zelda Krieger. President.. ............ Mary Jane Blakeley Secretary........................... Adelaide Jobson Cl lorus Rated by Mr. Mitchell at the first of the year as a somewhat inexperienced group, the Boys’ Chorus developed into a flexible organization having high hopes of taking the State crown. Unfortunately however, the hard-working boys missed adding new laurels to their records by a very close margin at the District Contest at Greenville. Elected board members of the Chorus were: Tenors, Vaughn Parker, John Summerville, Theodore Walz, and Robert Lesh; Basses, Willard Bolton, Donald Edmonds, Dick Reidy, and Leo Krosnicki.

Lawrence Wolcott, Jonas Lagergren 92 o rckestra The orchestra has been a source of pleasure and profit to graduating senior musicians. Although they did not enter competition this year, because they felt the instrumentation was not up to standards set by the State Music League, they have acquitted themselves well at concerts at Clarion and at home. Professional musicianship has been stressed this year by the orchestra to great advantage. President............................... Norman Young Concert Mistress...........................

William Sittig ccr n Larmen Three hundred voices blend in a thrilling crescendo in the Toreador Song” as the combined musical organizations of the school, making their first public appearance in shining new blue and white tunics, present a concertized version of Bizet’s opera “Carmen.” Thus on three nights, February 24, 25, and 27, did the A Cappella Choir. Boys’ Chorus, Girls’ Chorus, and orchestra, all under the direction of Harland C. Mitchell, win praise from city music lovers by their beautiful concert. Soloists in the operatic part of the program were Dorothy Thurau, soprano; Elizabeth Moore, alto; and Edward Erickson, tenor. The profit which was made on the sale of two thousand tickets was applied to the cost of the beautiful Cossack military tunics. 94 Nuts To Y on ■n “Mental diseases diagnosed and cured.” This advertisement, intended to reap financial rewards hv young Tommy Winter, who is badly in need of funds for college, brings instead a horde of persons suffering from various mental and physical ills. The crazy antics of these “nuts” kept two full houses, on December 5, and 6, laughing from the beginning to the end of the three act farce. Nuts To You” was the most successful senior play presented in five years. Seated left to right are Marie Firster, Helen Milner.

Servants to Hardcastle are Stephen Kowal, Harry Caldwell, Jack Russ, and Luke Kresinski. Cronies of Tony Lumpkin are Earl Curtis, John Costanza, Vance Tussey, and Edward Reynolds. Stage F orce The school is fortunately endowed with a group of students trained to manipulate the various stage devices quietly and effectively. Their duties include controlling the light and sound effects, shifting scenery, and of course designing the sets for the plays. Although not in the limelight, these persons, who worked on all the attractions presented in the high school auditorium, are necessary to the production of a play. The stage force consists of Ted Williams, stage manager; Rachel Borland and Britta James, designers; Anson Burwell, electrician; John Thompson, property manager; Jack Vieyra, assistant property manager; Jack Bonnet, Jack Johnson, and Errol Collins, carpenters; Ronald McLane and Boyd Shiner, stage hands. 98 LITERARY The Senior-Hi News, with the largest staff in years, managed to overcome the subsequent unwieldiness and to publish a bi-weekly periodical that was in keeping with the policies of the publication. The newspaper has accomplished its main purpose of keeping the student body informed of all important school events, and of supplying its readers with instructive and entertaining reading material. As a conclusion to a year of work, the staff and advisers, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Lindblad, and Miss McAtee, held a picnic on May 8, at Mr. Skinner’s hunting lodge.

No more you’ll pierce our solitude, Enter, quiet interlude. We’ll forget the long dictation, Weary, tiresome preparation; No more will endless drudgery Infringe upon our reverie. A steady drone of study’s heard, A closing book, a careless word; And then at last that welcome ring Makes faces smile, and light hearts sing. We enter class with naught prepared, Our fellow students, likewise fared; When teacher says explain dissension, It’s then you know your doom’s detention. We’ll close with one last proverb true. The way that most good poems do: As we pass out the door we’ll sing, “Oh sad Farewell, where is thy sting?” The annual is a great invention — The school gets all the fame, The printer gets all the money, The staff gets all the blame.

Can you slide by on a reputation ? We think not. This business of living on your good name might be all well and good if it did not tend to make you slipshod in all your work, egotistical and boring. Fooling teachers hurts no one but yourself. You may say that you’ll study the first month or so of school, and then the teacher will think you are smart and won’t call on you to recite. It is the wrong attitude to take. Remember, it’s best to live up to your reputation, not on it. Fortunate Water, water everywhere—you know the rest of it. Hasn’t Oil City been fortunate in that we have escaped the havoc wrought by a flood? Our schools have not been closed, we have not had to go without food or water, our homes are standing—not wrecked or washed away, lives were not lost, and even the electricity did not fail us—let’s stop complaining. “About what?” you ask. About marks, report cards, teachers, about our friends, and about things in general. Look at the brighter side of life. You’re Failing Note “All's well that ends well” is a very old adage, but things will not terminate so pleasantly if a habit to do your homework each day is not formed. In the final analysis it is not really the final examinations that make you pass or fail, but in reality they are merely a climax to the poor, negligent work that has been done all year. You do not fail in the last day of school, but you fail every day that the assigned work is not done. If pupils would only realize this, there would be fewer failures and fewer disappointments at the end of the school period. 1. “Not a Cough in a Carload,” is a slogan concerning which brand of ciragettes?

Then into my clothes, and down stairs I sped. “It’s late!” I cried, as I snatched a bite, “Where are my books? They are not in sight.” Then followed a mad search as I looked around. For my books which simply refused to be found. At last I had them and in a mad run, I dashed off to school which by now had begun, So all my hurrying had been in vain, As that night in detention I had to remain.

Using only power plays and single reserves, the Oilers started their advance early in the first quarter, but they were halted on Franklin’s 27 yard line. After the Terrors punted, Klesc2 returned the ball to the 27 from where a sustained march ended with Klescz scoring the touchdown and Lauer crashing through for the extra point. OILERS LOSE FIFTH GAME Oct. 31.—Continuing its string of successive defeats and bringing the mark up to five straight, a mighty Oiler eleven was out-guessed by a less formidable and erratic Titusville football machine. After having one of their passes intercepted early in the game, the Oilers forgot there was that which is commonly known as an aerial attack. The Oilers made two long and thrilling marches down the field, but these were for naught, for the Rocket eleven braced itself and held them off until the whistle ended the game. INTRA-MURAL GAMES ENDED Apr. 2.—Room 212’s representatives, Krasowski, Kase, Whitehill, Venturella, Carlson, Levine, Easton, Buckley, Turnbull, and Brooks won the Senior room title by nosing out 222 in an interesting and fast fray. The score was 22-18. The Junior title went to Room 322 whose team was composed of the following members: Couch, Kaweski, Martin, Rosen, Shiner, Stahlman, Whipple, Young, and Crawford. This team defeated Room 341, 22-8, to take the Junior loop. The Sophomores put up many hard-fought battles but Room 422 was the winner of this circuit. Their team was made up of Morton, Lenar, Shelby, Halkiewicz, Kresinski, | Dziekciasz, S z a f r a n, Walentoski, Price, and Darling. They defeated Room 412 by a score of 25-15 in a game devoid of dull moments. Morrison Captains Volleyball Champs Nov. 14.—The tournament to de-cide the best volleyball team in the boys’ gym classes was run off November twelfth, after school, with the team captained by Don Morrison winning. The finals were played by V-4, Captained by Bill Weidler and Z-3, led by Morrison. The score was 15 I to 10. SHARON BLASTS DISTRICT HOPES Mar. 20.—The jinx seemed to be working with full force against the Oilers when they met Sharon on the Grove City floor. After getting off to a fine start, leading 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, the locals seemed to suffer an attack of stage-fright. The loss of this game eliminated Oil City from any possible district consideration. COURT SQUAD TAKES FIRST LEAGUE GAME Dec. 19.—A powerful Blue and White court squad that showed a decided improvement over the Grove City game overwhelmed a Cochran-ton aggregation to the sweet tune of 44-17. The team shone in both offense and defense. Their foul shooting, which would have won the opener, was beyond reproach. Cagers Continue Wins By Humbling Terrors Jan. 16.—The Blue and White cagers continued their streak of wins by humbling a weak Terror squad 28-19. Led by Lauer, the Oilers kept up a steady stream of field-goals which kept them in the lead during the entire game. Melvin, of Franklin, played a brilliant game, but he had practically no support from his team-mates. SHORTS Three Oilers Make All-Sectional Tearn Dec. 5.—Despite a drab season, the Oilers placed three men on the allsectional team, annually picked by the coaches of schools competing for the Phalanx Cup. Fox at left end, Krosnicki at tackle, and Kowal at center were those who were chosen because of their outstanding work during the season. “Moose” Morse and Lauer were given honorable mention for strong performances. NIGHT FOOTBAIJL POSSIBILITY Apr. 22.—As a scheme to bolster the Athletic finances, the Oilers may introduce night football next season. Faculty Manager McAlevy and Coach Wells are agreed that this could be the answer to their worries. Hold Unbeaten Meadville to 13-0 Oct. 31.—An unbeaten Meadville aggregation was vastly surprised last Saturday when they were forced to work their hardest for thirteen points. The Oilers proved their superiority over Titusville when they recently swamped them 60-15. The proceeds of this game, what little they were, were given to the flood fund. The Famoore’s are much in evidence in the halls. Their blue jackets outshine anything that has yet been exhibited in Senior. Volleyball is definitely out as a varsity sport this year. In Pennsylvania the net game is played at the same time as basketball so that the Oilers can’t possibly play it this, year. 105 Page 4 REVIEW OF THE NEWS Cj AESLOP’S FABLES A “ninety” in time saves the allowance.

It is an organization of men and equipment established and maintained to render first-class service to its customers at reasonable rates based on sound financing of the enterprise, a cultural wage to its employees, and a fair return upon a just capitalization. Such a company has an alert management keen to bring the latest means of utilizing its service to the communities it reaches, eager to lower its unit prices as profitable business increases and to share with its customer orosperity to which they have contributed. Under the stress of current tax burdens it redoubles its efforts to sell its product, knowing that the best and apparently the only road to prosperity is that of expanding business. It is determined to safeguard so far as possible a fair return to those whose savings have been intrusted to its development, but it is thinking less about constitu-ional lights than of economical administration, friendly relations with its customers, good treatment of its employees and rendering the full measure of devoted service to those whose patronage enables it to live. —CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Keystone Public Service Co. 119 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1936 FROM MAN ION PAINT VARNISH CO. r I GOOD LUCK Staff FROM | Herman Magdovitz | BUSINESS MANAGER 1930 GIFTS FOR GRADUATES Kodaks Leather Goods Pen and Pencil Sets Stationery and Books Remington Portable Typewriters WALLACE O ICE CREAM SODAS OR SUNDAES ★START HERE AND WALK OR 14 EAST FIRST STREET UJ z o AOfN3 (3NV Nil OO N3HJL S.A3VSI Ol T3D flOA IITNIH S'MOOTB 120 QUAKER STATE OIL REFINING COMPANY OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA ALL KINDS OF COLD MEATS AND CHEESES FOR COMPLIMENTS OF LUNCHES OR PICNICS HAYS’ BAKERY MAKERS OF ❖ FINE PASTRIES EDWARD ROESS COMPANY ♦ Phone 154 35 Seneca St. 121 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1936 LATONIA THEATRE M.

Mr. Townsend, for the steadying wisdom that we could turn to in moments of indecision. Mr. Skinner, for the constant interest you evinced during the early stages of production, when we were quite alone in the labyrinth of our inexperience. Dorothy Morehouse, for the countless aids you rendered us, especially before we were organized. Miss Meditz, Miss Goodwin, Miss Orlando, Mr. Townley, Mr. Lindblad, and Mr. Lewis, for the counsel you graciously gave when we asked. Miss Cribbs, for the considerable freedom we were allowed during those precious minutes known as “between bells.” Art Nouveau Studios, for allowing us to hold sessions at unorthodox times of the day, and for a thousand little favors, each of which made our work easier for us. Mr. Rich, of the Morse Engraving Company, for the lay-outs and suggestions without which we would have been lost. Also for a genial mood which acted a mental stimulant each time you made your regular call. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Bellinger of the Derrick Publishing Company, for a sympathetic understanding of our problems and a swift solving of them.
