The Pit Orchestra composed of eighteen members of this group played at all of the dramatic functions and at the operetta. Their commend- able work has been appreciated by all. band Under the direction of Mr. Ftunzo, the band this year has lived up to its fine traditions. Playing at all the football games and at the Spring Concert, they outdid themselves with their splendid work. Beside these regular activities the band staged a concert under the eminent Dr. Frank Simon to gain experience and to give musically-minded people of Oil City a chance to see the students' accomplishments.

These fun-loving music-makers deserve a lot of praise for their support at the basketball games and other school activities. Yes, they sure were solid senders. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls of Senior organized their own swing band. During the year they participated in several assemblies, Any- thing Goes , and the Senior Broadcast. The girls, who did all their practicing outside of school hours, built up a fine organization which gave the boys some keen competition.

C. H. S. football squad topped Mead- ville, Franklin, and Titusville to take the mythical Venango-Crawford Football Championship. ,Winning 5 out of 6 home games and losing all 3 games played on hostile fields, the Oilers have had one of their most successful seasons in years. Under Coach J. J. Connors and Assistant-Coach Wes Travis our boys played stellar ball all year. Despite the injuries of many first-string players, we succeeded in pulling through with more wins than defeats. l For the first time in many seasons, freshmen were given the privilege of playing varsity ball. This ruling brought out many hopefuls that will do much to keep our squad on top in later years. We started the season off by taking Titusville 26-0, only to drop the next one to Grove City 27-0. Fighting hard against a touchdown on the opening kick-off the Oilers came from behind to lick Bradford 8-7. Playing the next one away from Mitchell Field, the Warren Dragons out-passed us to take the game 29-6. With the burning of the dummy and amidst snake- dances and cheering we wallopped Franklin 7-0. Meadville met the same fate the next week 26-0. Leaving town again the Oilers dropped the decisions to Farrell and Butler in consecutive weeks 32-0 and 27-0 respectfully. The final game with Franklin C18-6 Oil City's favorj gave us our 5th win and closed our season. I.

Beset from all sides with every- thing from sprained toes to chicken-pox, the squad took 13 out of their 19 game schedule. We started the season with a bang by taking both Farrell and Franklin 23-21 and 29-22 respectively. Then we began to cool off and let a couple of games go up the river. Playing alternately good and bad ball, the season slipped away. There's no complaint about thrills this year. Our first game with Titusville, for example, was pulled out of the fire in the last minutes of play. A Franklin game that will go down in the annals of Senior as a freak was the one in which Dick Dillemuth scored 2 foul shots in the last 5 seconds to win the game 28-27. ln spite of injuries that kept him out of most of the first half of the season, Rabbit Ungren, our high scoring center, led the tallies with 139 points to his credit. For the first time in many seasons our JV team has come through with an undefeated season. Led by lanky Gerald Woods, the JV's piled up win after win against all comers. The season past has awarded the Oil City fans plenty of fun, thrills, and heart-faults. the 1944 oil can 991 if is uit W Q - 5 5: TK I ' wx in -ggi? 3 Q' Kit oth grade basketbeH First Fiow, left to rightf-Stewart Anderson, James Carrier, Dan Clark, Stanley ldzi, Maurice Kofford.

Hold docn Old Doc , based on the life of an elderly country doctor, who wanted his son to follow him as the next doctor of Mason County, opened the High School's dramatic season this year. Old Doc Hilary was convincingly por- trayed by Charles Way, while the part of his offce nurse, Margaret, was deftly taken by Helen Parker. At the eleventh hour the other male lead, Larry Welch, was overtaken by illness and Chuck Stubler competently took over the role. The play itself was a series of heartfalls with appropriate touches of humor mixed in. Both nights the production was appreciatively received by large audiences, and the profits from it went into the Senior Class treasury. Friday the l3th Plenty of chills and thrills in this year's all School Play helped to make this one of the best mystery plays ever presented at Senior. Under the expert guidance of lVlr. F. L. Lewis, the cast and stage force did a great job. Running true to its name Friday the 13th brought on bad luok galore. At dress rehearsal the outside curtain caught fire causing much bedlam. Later in the fateful play a large lamp, crashed conspicuously into the scene. ln spite of the bad luck, however, the play was appreciatively received both nights.

As was planned for them, the plays gave the young actors and actresses needed experience and the audience a fine piece of entertainment. uthe eve of St. mark commencement play The Eve of St. Mark , directed by F. LaMonte Lewis during a regular class period each day, was one of the most human and most moving of war dramas to date. Seldom do high schools have the privilege of presenting a current Broadway hit.

The boys who graduate from this course will take their rightful place in the field of industry. senior machine shop Upon completion of their primary year of training, this group of Junior machinists lost no time in becoming familiar with their new surroundings. Milling machines, boring machines, drill presses, and larger type lathes soon lost their identities and had to succumb to the prying senses of this vigorous group. The machining of intricate gears and various shapes soon became commonplace as the ready aptitude of these boys became evident. - . the 1944 oil can auto-mechanics ll and lll and junior machine shop The Auto-Mechanics course offers to Junior and Senior boys an oppor- tunity to receive training in fundamental service and repair operations on modern cars and trucks. During the two years spent in the Auto Shop, the boys are taught the appreciation and use of good tools and eouiprnent, the respect of the property of others, and cooperative association with fellow workmen. ln addition, it cannot be emphasized too strongly that these courses offer an opportunity for the fullest development of the student's abliity to do logical thinking. Certain periods are devoted to open forum discussion of real life problems, and the foremost aid of the course is to offer a well-rounded educa- tional exposure that will prepare the boys for their place in community, state and national life. We may then realize a happy workman, a respected citizen, and conseouently, a better home and country. First Flow, left to right-Nancy Rose, Barbara Daily, Jean Miller.
