1939 ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF OIL CITY HIGH SCHOOL Editor .... - Robert Pollard Associate Editor .... A1 Herman Business Manager ... Cadmus Goss Assistant Business Manager - - Robert Grazier Advertising Manager ... Charles McLouth FOREWORD The ideal yearbook should help the members of the graduating class remember their activities and associations together during their years in high school, the years when they have acquired many of the privileges of life without taking over many of the responsibilities. We, the editors, have worked on the proposition that a reasonable amount of written material is necessary to supplement the photographs in portraying life in our school. Full schedules in school and part time jobs have made it a real effort to produce this book. Nevertheless, we offer no apologies; we have done our best and are proud of this, the fruit of our labors. DEDICATION To the man who, in two years as superintendent, has brought effective action on needed improvements in Oil City schools, with two buildings under construction and curricula undergoing study and revision; to the man who has given his interest and cooperation in every phase of our school life; to the man who has made the very atmosphere of our school more friendly; to Mr. Vaughn R. DeLong The 1939 Oil Can is respectfully dedicated. SCHOOL . . .

When a survey revealed defects in our school system, action to improve conditions was almost immediate. W. H. FLANN G. W. KB CRT H. R. CLARK D. M. HOCHSWENDKR ROY BROWER ISABEL KUHNS E. E. BELLEN SUPERINTENDENT In less than two years as superintendent Mr. DeLong has revealed defects in our schools, and has brought effective remedial action. (12) VAUGHN R. DELONG R. C. THOMPSON PRINCIPAL Mr. Thompson has kept good discipline in our school, but has not made that discipline oppressive. He has enforced strict observance of rules, but has always granted reasonable favors and given kind help and assistance. ( 13 1 FACULTY Nellie Bailey Herbert C.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR A cappella choir, the selected group this year, made many appearances during the school term. In February, it presented the operetta “Tune In,” and in April entertained, with the other music groups, in a concert to raise funds for the trip to the state contest at Norristown. Besides these, the choir appeared as guest entertainers at various clubs, schools and churches. After winning first place in the district, this group went on to win third place in the state finals.

MIXED CHORUS The mixed chorus this year was a training class for promising singers. Because of their numbers and their inexperience they did not sing in public, but they have worked hard and have learned a great deal about music in general and singing in particular. Inasmuch as they are, with few exceptions, underclassmen, they will be valuable material for the other choruses next year.

GIRLS’ CHORUS Although these girls did not add another cup to the trophy case, they formed one of the finest Glee Clubs that Senior has ever known.

Not only do the girls aid Miss Hoy in the work around the library, but they also learn a great deal about the fundamentals of library science. They keep an accurate check on the visitors to the library and learn, by practice, the care and classification of books. Considerable interest aroused in national Book Week was largely due to the efforts of this group. (65) THE ! ):{ ) OIL CAN Bottom rou, I eft to right: A. Montana. B. Norton, R. Phillips. H. Mohr. C.

Throughout the season, the entire blue and white court machine clicked in precision as passes became more accurate and speedy, footwork steadily improved and the shooting average soared high.
