This year, during Coach H. Ranclour's absence, they coached Penn High's football team, which gave a credit- ' ' h d able performance. Besides coaching football, these active twins have had muc to o ' h' fi t three with track ancl basketb all.

The Hands at the Helm To us, the students, are extended the hands at the helm - the hands of the men who spend long hours plotting the course of our scholastic life. First to greet us is Mr. Fred E.. Haines, Superin- tendent of the Penn Township Schools, who works hand in hand with our projects and ideas in order to help us achieve distinction and triumph. Then Mr. Norman F. Hoelzle, our principal, lends a helping hand. No matter what our problems are, whether they be difficulties with schedules, or something entirely different, he cheerfully assists us. A hand across the table is extended to us all by our assistant principal, Mr. Joseph E.. Wherry. To him we take our absence excuses, our requests for dis- missal, our transportation problems, and always we re- ceive co-operation and a friendly smile. It is these three, then, to whom we turn for the hand- clasp of friendship, encouragement, and guidance. NIR. FRED E. HAINES Supervisiiig Principal x7 4 MR. NORMAN F. Hoiz1.zL1-1 MR. JOSEPH E. WHERRY Principal of Penn High Assistant Principal Board of Education FIRST ROW - Mr. J. M. Watts, Presidentg Mr. J. E. Hetrick, Secretary, Mr. A. Clair Mitchell, Treasurer, Mr. R. R. Brenlove, Solicitor. SECOND ROW - Mr. Kaufmann Stoner, Vice Presidentg Mr. P. S. McWilliams, Mr. H. E. Dean, Mr. H. C. Murray Hidden in the background of our school life is a group of distinguished, helpful persons - the Board of Education. Seldom do we really appreciate all that they do for the student body. Occasionally someone asks, Don't they just take the taxes and then spend them? No one except the seven members of this group can realize the time and care involved in handling the taxes and in spending them. To direct the education of a territory as large as Penn Township isn't a facile task. But in the pro- ficient hands of these men, it is done efficiently and quickly. Because of their desire to augment our chances to gain a better education and, at the same time, to brighten the sunshine in our school life, we have a modern building, picture-book surroundings, the most suitable books and equipment, and a friendly talented faculty. Furthermore, this year the board matched our dollars in purchasing a new motion picture camera, an important item in the photography equipment. - Comprising the board are: lVl. Watts, President: K. W. Stoner, Jr., Vice Presi- dentg E.. Hetrick, Secretaryg A. Clair Mitchell, Treasurer: Henry C. Murray, and the two new members, Harry E. Dean, Sr., and Philip S. McWilliams. The solicitor is Attorney R. Rhody Brenlove. If you ever forget all the advantages the board has provided, remember your par- ents' lament - I wish I had the chance to go to school again. It was certainly dif- ferent in my day. Then be thankful for all the opportunities your School Board has provided. They will continue to serve this district long after we have left the portals of this school. mf!!! ,UQ C' 7 gyffff' J WV lFirst Row Across! Miss P. C. Massarelli Mr. J. Manton Mrs. E. M.

We entered the halls of Penn High with much misgiving perhaps, but nevertheless with much pleasure. lVlany things were strange at first. We couldn't understand the marks made by the Gregg Pals, our shorthand friends. Aid came at last as we three hundred eighty-hve breathless Freshies listened to lVlel- vin Snyder explain the glories of our school at our first Freshman assembly. Later Dr. C. F.. Peters remarked, Penn High is the finest building in Allegheny County. We were exceedingly proud to be members of such an institution that gave us such advantages as the Art Club, and the splendid athletic organizations as our football, basketball, and track teams. When a number of the Freshman class topped the list of honor students, we knew we had a future. We entered into the spirit of our school by attending football games and the Halloween Party and joining the various clubs. With spring came Open House and we proudly escorted our parents from room to room. Then the golf team won its first W. P. I. A. l... Trophy and when the first school annual, the Seneca, was published, we hurriedly scanned the pages for our pictures. Thus ended a most enjoyable year. The second year brought noticeable changes. Our splendid band wore new red and gold uniforms. At each football game they proudly displayed their talents. First it was county recognition - now State. New bleachers, too, had been erected. Some gala events during the year were the Halloween and Sopho- more parties. The organization of our G. A. A. and the holding of intra-mural activities proved that women, as well as men, can provide high-calibre athletes. This year, Jean Froelich was elected Miss Sub-Deb, a great honor indeed. The book week contest, sponsored by our librarian, proved very interesting and prizes were duly awarded. Beautiful red and gold outfits were purchased for our cheerleaders. Our Sophomore year, a brilliant and successful one, ended with the Band Concert presented as a part of the summer program on June l l. Our third year commenced with the election of William Sanderson as Junior Class President. Early in the year a few members wondered what the girls carried in their purses. Among the articles listed were forks, shoe polish, pickles, and boys' pictures. With the introduction of the K-M-E-Ish Club, the La Confradia Espanola and the Variety Club, the students were given a diversity of new organizations to choose from. The presentation of our Junior Class play, Young April, the Fall Frolic, and the Music Festival caused much ex- citement and pleasure and those class members who missed these performances learned that they had missed an excellent time. Later came that memorable night of May ninth, the night of the Junior-Senior reception. This year we received our class rings -- this fact, together with the annexation of our third straight golf championship, and the addition of a new projector and public address unit for our auditorium, made the class a jubilant group. The Senior year found everyone going about his work with added zeal. The class officers were as follows: William Sanderson, president, Fred Bey, vice presi- dent: Jim Stoner, treasurer, Viola Monfredo, secretary: and John Kopelic, his- torian. We noted the new scoreboard, which proved exceedingly valuable at the Westinghouse game, our first against city league opposition, and all ensuing con- tests. Under Mr. Kane's supervision, the Nature Club originated. Later the French Club, with Miss Heggie as sponsor, was formed. The F all Fiesta proved a great success, as did the lVIikado. The sweet memory of our band marching in the Armistice Day Parade in Pittsburgh was short-lived as our country plunged into a bitter conflict with the Japanese on December 7. On January I6, the hilarious Senior Class Play, Footloose, was presented by a talented group. Then came the glorious event, the Junior-Senior reception, followed by the Senior Prom. Baccalaureate services were held on May 29 and Commencement on June 3. The planting of our class tree was the final act of the Class of '42. We then bade farewell, not only to an institution of learning, but to the pride and joy of our hearts - Penn High School.

Students dashed madly here and there seeking their 9:30 class or their home room, and casting furtive glances toward the office. A gala football season opened with three straight wins, and a sixty-piece band resplendent in new red uniforms. October 27, the annual Halloween party, marked the open- ing of our social activities. November came, then December. The G. A. A. held a Christ- mas party and the whole school saw the Senior Christmas pageant. After battling mid-year exams, below-zero weather, and a very windy March, the mantle of April and the Frosh Frolic were a welcome sight. To Open House we proudly escorted parents and relations to view our work and meet the teachers whom we had grown to know and admire so well. Being mere freshmen our spring activities con- sisted only of the school picnic in May. To our surprise, we found ourselves as sorry to leave in June as the seniors, but we all looked forward to more fun and better work next year. Back to good old Penn High School we trooped in the fall of I940, no longer ninth graders but practically upperclassmen Csopho- moresj, with home-room elections and enter- taining assemblies. Our second year began with a good start. Class officers were chosen: President, Melvin Price, Vice President, Hilda Wrableyg Secretary, Elizabeth Stoner, Treas- urer, Shirley Wieland. Penn lassies sported long page-boys and sloppy-joesg the lads, orange and red plaid shirts and trousers, while both boys and girls went collegiate with saddles and reversibles. For the first time in the history of the school, the underclassmen were officially a part of the school activity - the We-Three Dance, to which outsiders, upperclassmen, and underclassmen were invited. Christmas holi- days arrived and whizzed by before anyone fully realized it and New Year's resolutions were flying thick and fast. The Sophomore Swing, our class party, March l9, went over extremely well. Tempus Fugitn and sud- denly fmal exams were over and all viewed the coming summer as a time for a much-needed rest. September 2, I94I - By this time, most of us welcomed the sight of our school, for a thrilling spirit of school loyalty had enveloped our class. The Hi-Y, Cue and Curtain, Sen- eca, and Sub-Deb clubs initiated members who had been selected from the junior class. Penn's all-star eleven played a good season under the joint coaching of Messrs. Charles and Matthew Alcorn. Moccasins, hip-length coats, and pastel reversibles were all the rage. Four queens, one from each class, presided at the Fall Fiesta. Oc- tober 24. Gay Carlisle and his orchestra pro- vided the musical background. Penn High's cho- rus staged The Mikado, which played to a full house. Basketball fans in Penn High had the opportunity to buy season tickets, good for all home games. The Christmas assembly, put on by the Chorus, Hi-Y, and Girl Reserves, was a real treat. The Sub-Debs took part in the Snow Ball at the Hotel Schenley. The Cue and Curtain's Christmas party was exceedingly successful. The first week after vacation we elected class officers - President, Melvin Priceg Vice President, Robert Baker: Secre- tary, Jean Turner: Treasurer, Hilda Wrabley. We are eagerly looking forward to our Senior year - the crossroad of our life. Q 1 If! .

The freshmen have the same honor since they are the youngest. What, then, is there to give the sophomores distinction? Undoubtedly, in the case of this year's sophomores, it was school spirit. While in certain cases the sophs lagged, whenever they were needed most, they eventually came through. Every home room elected ofhcers, and these six leaders formed an executive council. Fred Brenner, Harry Graham, Selig Harrison, Dick Small, Bob Sum, and Betty Taylor, the six spoken of, managed the Sophomore party and directed everything generally. But while it was this committee that planned the Sophop, it was the splendid co- peration from members of the class that made it the smashing success that it was. Over one hundred and thirty eager students flocked to the Penn gym for the Sophop, different in many respects from any other Sophomore party. ln the first place, the dancers found that they were the first sophomores to cavort to the strains of an orchestra at their annual 1 affair. And the orchestra was none less than the Star Gazers, under the baton of ,fl joe McWilliams. With a bang-up, original floor show for entertainment, and such , es as ping-pong and darts for fun, here the sophs of I942 found all the requisites . for a good time. l , Proof of the pudding that sophs have class spirit and the universal spirit of ' human helpfulness lies in the fact that fifteen boys volunteered to clean up the gym after A ' Y Xi the party. That may sound petty, but just try it yourself some time! T D gf Q In these trying times, with centuries of human ethics crumbling, the efforts of freedom- loving people to defend their heritage is a test of American education. The sophomores of Penn High, 1942, will not let anyone down - their school, their country, or their God ! . W7 I N W. Monfredo, R. Plummer, L. Grabe, Miss Thomas, A. Bernard, T. Nicholson, W. Henry. 7 ,Leia og '45 www shammi' .fi-A-1 Once more the halls of Penn High echoed with the sound of two hundred eighty-five fresh- men. Each one talked merrily to new and old acquaintances, hurried needlessly to their next class, or inquired of the ever-patient Hall Pa- trolman the way to the art room or health room. The first week of school brought the question, Gee, will l ever find my way around? But to our surprise, we were soon walking boldly among the upperclassmen. Grating words to our tender freshman ears were green, little Freshiesf' and small fry. Quickly the fresh- man's life began in a cycle of glorious events. Upperclassmen solicited for Penn Points, the Seneca, and the football tickets during home room periods. Frequently, they goaded us on by their brilliant talks over the radio. For thirty-five cents one could subscribe to Penn Points, a four-page school paper, containing a sports page, news of clubs, cartoons, and bits of news about individuals. An additional seventy-five cents was the price of a football ticket for five home games. With the small sum of twenty-five cents we made a down payment for the Seneca, a book including senior pictures and their scholastic standing, the fac- ulty, underelassmen pictures, activities, sports, and alumni news. The freshmen showed what it is to have school spirit by the number of sales they made. The month of October brought the Fall Fiesta. Each home room selected a girl as a candidate for queen of this gala event. Cam- paign excitement ran high until the very last moment before balloting. From the six lovely candidates emerged sweet, brown-eyed Jean Davis, who represented the freshman class. The Star Gazers supplied music for those en- joying dancing. Various games such as ping- pong, bowling, and shuffle-board, furnished en- tertainment for those who did not wish to dance. One of the outstanding events of the frosh's life was the Freshman Party. The girls donned their best dresses and heels while the boys looked simply swell in snappy suits. A floor show was the feature attraction with the talented people from the Frosh Class as partici- pants. Dancing and such games as bowling, ping-pong, and shuffle-board were the forms of entertainment. Afterwards refreshments re- ceived undivided attention. The pleasant mem- ory of their first class party will always remain with the freshmen. This freshman class has also set good ex- amples for correct behavior in assembly. Each home room teacher assigned each person an as- sembly seat for the duration of the year. In the first semester movies and skits formed the chief entertainment, and during the second se- mester each home room worked out some form of entertainment for the assembly program. These people have set many goals and have already accomplished many of them, but only a class with real school spirit could have gone as far as this freshman class has gone.

Although it is a student publication, much of the credit for its popularity and success must go to the following ever-co-operative sponsors: Miss Ethel Atkinson is general supervisorg Miss Marie Stoehr checks and arranges the articlesg Mrs. Dorothea Spangler identifies names: and Mr. Frank Crane is our cameraman, The staff is divided into six different groups, namely: The Features Staff, the Photography Staff, the Sports Staff, the Typing Staff, the Business Staff, and the Art Staff. The groups have their own duties and are headed by the following student editors: Marjorie Graham, Larry Haines, Charles Duffett and Harriet Stephens, Mabel Keating, Catherine Davis, and Bernice Durniolc, respectively.

Viola Nlonfredo is editor-in-chief and her assistant is Ethel Kosco. When you consider that club articles and Senior write-ups are written and re-written and all photos, formal or informal, are uniformly arranged, you then realize that the Seneca Staff has a hard task to perform. The Staff started off enthusiastically this year. Before Christmas all pictures had been taken and most of the write-ups had been completed. Nevertheless, after the holi- days staff members spent many nights copyreading, arranging, and re-arranging in order to get the finished product into the hands of the student body at the time promised. At such times this was a very familiar scene: The members of the Staff, amidst a clutter of papers and chewed pencils, sat with furrowed brows and chins cuppedjn idle hands. Then they wondered how to make this article shorter or how to make that one longer. An atmosphere of deadly silence and gloom prevailed. Gccasionally, a student finished his work and with a proud, happy grin handed it to one of the fair typists, who trudged over to the typing room to begin her work. Despite all this, the Staff declared that it isn't all work. They maintained that they have received a certain amount of thrill and fun from working shoulder to shoulder with their classmates for the purpose of creating something that they know will be cherished by every member of the student body for many years to come. Everyone on the Staff feels a glow of pride because he is able to say that he is responsible for some part of the school annual. W'e, the Seneca Staff, likewise express a sincere hope that you will derive as much delightful amusement from its pages as we have received from working on it. SEATED - C. Davis. D. Schoenfelder. I.

Such an explanation certainly shows the backbone of a newspaper, that is, the gathering of informa- tion. Reporters, of course, fill this position and the selection of these persons is an intricate pro- cess in Penn Points. ln order to apply for a station on the news staff, the applicants must hold a C average in their studies and a B in English. After students have shown they are sufficiently interested in newspaper work, they are enrolled in journalism classes. The purpose of these classes is to familiarize the applicants with the principal phases of journalistic work. However, the fu- ture reporters are not limited to one field of newspaper work. Instruction concerning fea- ture, sports, and club writing, work on copy- reading, and the functions of a business man- ager are taught to the students for a six-week period. After the instruction period is com- pleted the students are compelled to take an ex- amination to qualify for a place on the staff. Having passed into the ranks of reporting, the pupils are now known as cubs. These cubs gather experience in writing by serving on a staff which is responsible for a column in the Advance-Leader. After a year or less of this type of work the cubs become full-fledged re- porters and are placed on the page which their previous writings have shown them best fitted for. Usually certain groups of these new re- porters can be selected to edit a page. ln order to obtain such a post the reporter must serve as a co-editor under the page editor. After the person has received the proper experience, he has then reached the goal of every reporter - editorship. The outstanding event of the year for some members of the Penn Points staff was a trip to Harrisburg. There the Columbia School Press Association presented them with an honorable mention certificate. . . . . Mrs. Dau, who, after having spon- sored the school newspaper, Penn Points, for almost seven years, has resigned from her teach- ing post because of a change in residence. lVlrs. Dau was graduated from North- western University, Evanston, Illinois, where she majored in English and Latin. She taught for two years at the Geneva High School in Illinois before coming to Penn High. So that she could be better suited for the job of spon- soring Penn Points. she took a special course on high school publications and the sponsorship of them at the University of Pittsburgh. Start- IDIEN ing out with only five issues fcomposed in the janitor's room at Thad Stevens, , Penn Points, under her hne guidance, grew until at present there are twelve issues a year. Mrs. Dau's interest in journalism is not surprising when you realize that her father was a printer at one time. In fact, he used to own the Homewood Printing Company. Not only do the reporters and editors of Penn Points fully appreciate what she has done for this student publication but also the entire student body will never forget what she has done in helping spread school spirit.

Ln. the ' Under the new sponsorship of Mr. Kane, the Hi-Y Club of Penn High has gone far this year in establishing itself more firmly as a part of our high school. The main purpose of this club is to spread co-operation and good fellowship among its members. It took an active part in the Oakmont, Penn, Plum, Verona Rally held in our auditorium last fall and also in the one held at Verona this year. The Goodwill Industries was another successful undertaking of these energetic lads. Also, through its efforts, several outstand- ing speakers entertained us at our assemblies. lts officers are: President, Harry Dean, Vice President, Howard Charrieg Secretary, David Waltong Treasurer, blames Stoner, Chaplain, George Shiner. Something new has been added l The Junior Hi-Y came into existence this year. Because of the popularity of the Senior Hi-Y organization, it was necessary to induct a new chapter to accommodate the junior members. This club has the same goals and car- ries out the same principles as the Senior Hi-Y, and the boys are under the supervision of Mr. Frank Crane, former sponsor of the Senior Hi-Y. They have two meetings each month. one at the school and another at some member's home. The officers include: President, Melvin Price, Vice President, James Wilsong Secretary, joe Wilson, Treas- urer, Robert Sheaffer: Social Chairman, Robert Bair: Program Chairman, Robert Baker: and Membership Chairman, Herbert Jackson. With the furthering of fun as its motto, and the creating of lovely, cultured young ladies as its goal, the Penn Sub-Deb Club, sponsored by Miss Cecelia Massarelli, has be- come one of the foremost clubs in Penn High. At their meetings, held every two weeks, the Sub-Debs discuss rules for beauty, charm, and poise, Once a month all the Sub-Deb Clubs of Allegheny County meet at Kaufmann's for teas and style shows. Highlighting their social events of the year was the Snow Ball, a semi-formal dance sponsored by Kauf- mann's and held at the Hotel Schenley in December. The present officers of this club include Shirley Wieland, presidentg Jeanne Versaw, vice president, Dolly Larson, secre- taryg Betsy Eunson, corresponding secretaryg and Peggy Lesko, treasurer. We proudly call attention to one of the organizations connected with the life at Penn High, the Girl Reserves. They are the junior members of the Young Women's Christian Association of world-wide importance. As Junior members in this great organization, their aim is to make the lives of the members richer and to make the world a better place in which to live. What a timely aim in this war-torn world ! As Girl Reserves they try to face life squarely and to hnd and give the best. The club, which is capably spon- sored by Miss Margaret Reed, Miss Marguerite Heggie, and Mrs. Dorothea Spangler, boasts a membership of about one hundred twenty girls. May its course be ever upward.

Because of the interest shown by so many of the students and because of the splendid lead- ership of Miss Alice McQuiston, this organization is practically guaranteed to become one of Penn High's best. Within the club an executive body carefully plans every meet- ing. This competent committee consists of Howard Charrie, presidentg Charles Duffett, vice president: Jeanne Froelich, secretary, LaVerne York, treasurer: Grace Fisher, cor- responding secretary. Since, on various occasions, some of the members have displayed ex- ceptional acting talent, we are confident that a few of these people will receive fame and recognition. Las Comitivas Espanolas is a club composed of second-year Spanish students and sponsored by Miss Cecelia Massarelli. Consisting of twenty-five members, it strives to bring about closer Pan-American relations by making its members interested in the customs and living conditions of the South American people. The monthly meetings, led by the presi- dent, Viola Monfredo, are conducted in Spanish. The members devote part of the time to singing popular Spanish songs. The other officers of the club are: C-loria McMannis, first vice president: Phyllis Bergent, second vice presiclentg Marjorie Courty, third vice presidentg janet Smith, secretary: and James Stoner, treasurer. The members hope to gain a better understanding of the Spanish-speaking people and to learn to speak the Spanish language more fluently. After an absence of over two years, the French Club again made its appearance this year as one of the many stellar features on Penn's extra-curricular activities program. The entire French II class belongs to this club and Miss Marguerite Heggie, the charming French teacher, is the sponsor. The meetings, which are held once a month, are con- ducted in French. These meetings usually consist of the singing of French ditties, the en- acting of French plays, the playing of games, or the presenting of earnest discussions on France, as it was yesterday and as it is today. Each month the president chooses a dif- ferent committee to plan the program. The officers are: President, William Albertsg Vice President, Viola Monfredog and Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Wieland. During the first semester this year a new club came into existence in Penn High. The purpose of this club is to enable its members, our future housewives, to fill that im- portant position more expertly. Significant of their purpose is the name, Junior Home- makers. In an early meeting of the club Miss Marian Wills, representing the organization of Home Economics Clubs from the entire State of Pennsylvania, spoke to the members, making possible the affiliation of the club with that organization. During the holidays, besides learning how to make attractive favors, the members also made candy and cookies for the United States Service men. The present officers are: President, Dorothy Booherg Vice President, Ruth Andersong Secretary, Ruth May: Treasurer, Mary Bechdel.

' 4 any 'IZILIUIBJF emma , fwwcafw, , The Student Council is an organization for the advancement of the relationship be- tween the administration and the student body. It is composed of eight seniors, six juniors, and four sophomores. The Council has asserted itself this year in accomplishing many things pertinent to school life. It has purchased mirrors for the boys' lavatories, has shown four interesting films, and has sponsored interscholastic dances to acquaint Penn High students with those of other schools. After much consideration, the Council accepted and framed a constitution. lVlr. Joseph Wherry advises the Council, and the presiding offl- cers are Bill Alberts, president: Charles Duffett, vice presidentg Jean Turner, recording secretary, LaVerne York, corresponding secretaryg lVlary jane Day, treasurer. The K-M-E-Ish, organized to prepare the commercial students to become efficient secretaries, is sponsored by Mrs. Nancy Reeher. She has succeeded in obtaining a way to give all members business experience. Each member acts as a secretary to a teacher. Although they do no clerical work, the student types, mimeographs, hectographs, and does some of her personal work. Furthermore, the club members learn how to present themselves at a personal interview, how to dress at the office, how to improve their personalities, and how to be a loyal and well-trained secretary. Like all other clubs in Penn High, it has an executive body which includes: President, Veronica Graboskig Vice President, Catherine Davis, Secretary, Laura Dizakg Treasurer, Betty Garnerg and Reporter, jean Rich. Of all Penn's organizations, we think the Student Patrol is classified as one of the tops. Patrolmen maintain discipline and order throughout the school as they daily tramp their beat. These cops, under the capable guidance of Mr. John Manton, direct traffic to avoid disturbances which may occur in the halls. This duty could be very difficult, but with the loyal co-operation of the entire student body, it is a cherished task for these officers. Upon the shoulders of this group rests the responsibility for giving the red and green signals in the halls of Penn High. In addition, they serve during the Air Raid Dismissal Orders. The respect and gratitude shown these patrolmen are honors they justly deserve. l-lark l What noise through yonder window breaks? It would be hard for even Shakespeare to express it. But to state it very simply, it is the beat of hammer, the purr of saws, and occasionally a crash when someone drops something. Yes, you've guessed it - the stage crew is at work again. Every time there is a stage production, a party, or a dance, you can be certain that the stage crew had some part in it. The members of the stage crew are boys from the shop, who, under the able supervision of Mr. DeVaughn Scott and lVlr. Ralph Stoner, undertake the many and various tasks put before them. The stage crew in Penn High is truly an indispensable organization. Are you one too, eh? Engrossed in Machinery An Unexcrlmg Moment ll IL IU IBJI fkwqm, 9.ZafA., 011.-:Ba-:Ba Music resembles poetry, in each are numerous graces which no methods teach, and which a master hand alone can reach.-POPE The Penn High Orchestra, directed by Mr. K. Ingold, this year has risen to new heights of success. Its purpose is to develop musical talent, to furnish music on occasions connected with school activities, and to foster a love for good music among the entire student body. Playing the score to the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado, and providing entertainment at assemblies and between the acts of school plays are a few examples of the services rendered by our orchestra. So when you think of the real masters in Penn High School, think of the orchestra members. The chorus, one of the most active groups in Penn High School, consists this year of over one hundred and thirty members, the largest number since its beginning five years ago. It is separated into two groups: The junior-senior choir and the freshman-sophomore choir, consisting of students selected for their interest in music and musical ability. Under the direction of Mrs. Mary L. Jeffries they have learned sacred selections, foreign folk- songs, negro spirituals, and modern arrangements. The robed choir, sixty members in all, not only presented the successful Mikado, but also contributed their talent to church programs, assemblies, and club banquets. The officers are: President, Duff Busche: Vice President, Betty Wielandg Treasurer, Robert Sheafferg Accompanist, Ondiene Rau. Across the field with majestic splendor marches one of the most skillful and attractive bands in Western Pennsylvania. For their marching ability they won second prize at the Western Pennsylvania Volunteer Firemen's Convention and also obtained the honor of representing American Legion Post 41 during the Armistice Day parade. Not only is our band a snappy marching unit, but it is also a noteworthy concert ensemble. In addition to presenting their annual concert, the band received the distinction of being selected to perform before the Allegheny County Teachers' Institute. Under the capable leadership of Mr. K. Ingold the band has done a great deal towards winning recogni- tion for Penn High School throughout the State. The Band furnishes the music and these five dynamic personalities march in time to it. They are the drum major, tall, lanky Robert Baker, and the four peppy, shapely majorettes, Jean Versaw, Jean Turner, Gloria McMannis, and Betty Wieland. March- ing in front of the band, this snappy quintet is well-known, not only in Penn Township, but also in neighboring vicinities for their precision-like high-stepping and intricate baton manipulations. A drum major is an essential to a marching unit, because it is his duty to give the entire band signals for left turns, right turns, single files, and different other types of marching. Therefore, the Band realizes, and hopes that you do too, that these five people have been responsible for much of its success. On Parade Yell, Yell, Yell ls it Confidential? f H A 4 , .

The roll-off begins and an array of silver batons, twirled by skillful, ambitious students, flash in the sunlight. The Twirlers' Club, organized last year by Mr. K. lngold, endeavors to teach interested young people to twirl and to master the correct military marching techniques. Every member buys his own baton and receives instructions from the four majorettes. Last spring the club gave its first outstanding performance by marching and twirling expertly at Open House. The members find this hobby both fascinating and enjoyable. Every twirler's ambition is to lead the band to glory as a majorette, or to take part in a marching unit which co-operates with the band in parades and at football games. Miss Martha Richey, assisted by our Principal, Mr. Norman Hoelzle, chooses the most trustworthy students from the senior commercial class for office work. Under Miss Richey's tutorship the office girls receive actual training in daily office routine. It is an appropriate way to combine pleasure with work. The girls operate the switchboard, man- age the hectograph and mimeograph machines, deliver the mail, run errands, or engage in typing. Although they gain no credits, they do get valuable experience by working one period each clay. Through their efficiency many graduates, who have had this experience, now have important stenographic positions. Therefore. there is definite proof that this club provides tremendous opportunities for our future stenographers. Surveys have shown that the library, excluding the cafeteria, is the most popular place in the school. That isn't hard to realize when you consider that the library boasts of comfortable furniture, a large variety of books, and last but not least, a bevy of at- tractive girls who assist the librarian, Mrs. Dorothea Spangler. Cataloging, sorting, stamping, mending, and arranging books are only a few of their daily tasks. They also conducted a poll to find out what magazine the student body liked best. The results showed that the girls favored Mademoiselle, and the boys enjoyed Popular Me- chanics. The school year of 1941-1942 has marked many changes in the Science Club. Not only did Mr. John Manton's group triple in membership, but also included the new nature division. The radio division was forging ahead until Pearl Harbor when amateur communication became illegal. The senior group elected these officers: President, Fred Stewartg Vice President, Howard Millerg Secretary, Bob Schaeffer. In the Junior group Ed Woodings and Charles Courty stood in the foreground. The active nature division, headed by Mr. James Kane, proved novel and popular. Such trips as the ones to the Pittsburgh School of Embalming and Bear Cave are only samples of this group's unique program. Since tomorrow will definitely be a world of science, this club will hold a great significance for its members. Watch Carefully Now fust Sirollin' A Physics Experiment Have Mercy - Nipporfs Belles 1 and His Playmates Unusual in many respects from anything ever given at Penn was the junior Class Play, Once and For All, a three-act comedy directed by Miss Alice McQuiston. Instead of the customary ultra-modern home, the setting of the play was a small court between two dilapidated apartments. The plot chiefly concerned twenty people, representing the melting-pot of America, with their ideals and beliefs that Life can be beautiful even in a crowded apartment. Having its share of both comedy and tense dramatic moments, it was received by the stu- dent body with hearty enthusiasm. In addition to seeing two plays this year, Penn High students saw that hilarious operetta, Gilbert and Sulli- van's The Mikado, presented by the Chorus under the direction of Mrs. Mary L. Jeffries. With an Oriental setting the cast included such characters as a Mikado fRobert Bakerl, his son, the heir apparent fl-larris Lin- hartlg three lovely sisters fRosemary Flatley, Anna M. Dembaugh, Ursula Halloranj, a husband-hunting, old maid flithel Koscol, a Lord High Executioner fDavid Sheetsl, two aristocrats fRobert Hanson and Duff Buschel, and sixty Chorus members in full Japanese regalia. All of this resulted in a colorful, tuneful spec- tacle that will never be forgotten.

Such was the plot of Footloose, a three-act comedy presented by the senior class under the direction of Miss Alice Mc- Quiston on January I6, l942. The trials and worries of the Early children fRuth Heg- gie, Jeanne Froelich, William Alberts, Howard Millerl encountered when Mr. and Mrs. Early QRobert Guesman and Elnora Holden, took a vacation, and their house- keeper fpearl Costas, took ill, were very humorous and appealing. A marriage and an auto-wreck were only two of the many incidents which occurred but which were luckily straightened out in time before their parents arrived home. Friends of the Early children were played by jean Shera, Marjorie Graham, Michael Dunn, William Hawkins, Mary Tarr, james Stoner, and Harry Dean. Excellent acting and the hearty co-operation of every committee made this play a smash hit.

Home When school opened this year the student body found a definite change in the coaching staff of the football team. lVlr. Matthew Alcorn was head coach instead of M H . , r. . Randour, who had obtained a years leave of absence to hold a defense job. Assisting Mr. M. Alcorn were his twin brother, lVlr. Charles Alcorn, lVlr. Glenn Davis, and Mr. Howard Dressing. The season opened with only three of last year's lettermen returning to the gridiron. The first game was at Latrobe on September I3. Outclassed and outplayed b a owe Y P T' ful Latrobe eleven, the Indians were defeated 26-0. The Braves also dropped their first home game, bowing to Westinghouse I2-0. But what a crowd this game drew l The next game with Oakmont was one of the most thrilling contests of the season. Scoring late in the final period the Indians conquered the Oakmont eleven by a score of 7-6. ll... Dummy Scrimmage I l's a Pass Interference .. . nl A FIRST ROW - P. Malacane, R. Watkins, P.

Another home game for the Indians, this time with Verona, meant the second victory of the season. The Braves scalped their neighbors 20-0. Penn lost the next two games - on October 25 to Braddock l2-0 and on Novem- ber 4 to Vandergrift 7-0. The Indians outplayed their opponents during the first half, but they were subdued late in the game. Another scalp was added to our collection on November 8 when the Indians swamped the Norwin team 34-0. Because of wet weather the Wilkinsburg game was postponed from October 18 to November l5. The game was thrilling from start to finish with trick plays, long runs, and good kicking. The only thing we regret is the score: we lost 20-0. The season records show that Penn lost six games and won three: their opponents scored l02 points while the lndians tallied only 67 points. At the end of the season Penn was presented the Liberty Trophy. This trophy has been presented for the last two years to the champion football team between Penn, Oak- mont, and Verona. Having successfully defeated both opponents, Penn won the trophy both years. And last but not least, the senior varsity players were awarded red sweaters with a gold P on the front by a group of public-minded citizens. The underclass varsity players also received letters for their work. Despite the fact that Penn High is comparatively new as far as football is con- cerned, such spirit and co-operation can't help but make this sport a successful venture. FRONT ROW - N. Puskarich, P.

Alcorn. fP,eu.en, Qamw The third week in November, Coach Proksa called the first basketball practice and a prom- ising squad of boys responded. Last year's let- termen reporting were: Robert fpetel Long and George Roman. ln addition, Ed Fiala, Bob Alcorn, Paul Ctalobish, and Paul Waina of last year's Junior Varsity and two newcomers- Bill Bruno and Bob Hazlett-showed prom- ising material for the coming season. Drills on fundamentals were featured in early practices. With the approach of the first game, the team still lacked the needed finesse, This year the lndians again competed in Section VIII along with Wilkinsburg, Swissvale, Braddock, Scott, Rankin, and Turtle Creek. Again Penn played the toughest teams in the W. P. l. A. l... With a disappointing loss to Plum, Penn then showed true form by defeating lVlcKees-f port 25 to 22, only to lose another to Latrobe 24 to 22. After a sensational victory over Oakmont. the lndians traveled to Verona only to drop a hard-fought game 24 to 22. l-lere Roman featured the last quarter with I0 points after riding the bench with 3 personals against him. After intensive practice during Christmas vacation Penn opened league competition at Braddock only to lose to a veteran team 37 to I7. The lndians finally won their first league game in two years by defeating Scott High by the close score of 31-30. Excitement reigned even to the last second when Scott missed a foul Kg Ywum attempt and their last chance to tie the score. Penn then lost to Rankin and Wilkinsburg but staged a comeback by defeating Swissvale by a slim one-point margin. With only three seconds left to play and losing by one point, Roman let fly a long shot and snatched the victory right from the arms of their opponent. Swissvale brought the first half of our league competition to a closeg Penn lost four and won two in the first round. After a week of examination, the team traveled to East Pittsburgh and defeated them 20 to 26 in a non-league game. The lndians could do no better in the second round of league play. As luck would have it, after leading Braddock the whole game, the league champs came through to win an exciting game Z4 to 22. ln rapid order the lndians lost to Scott, Turtle Creek, Rankin, and Wilkins- burg. All these but the Rankin game were lost by two points and were thrilling up to the last second. Penn wound up the season by defeating Swissvale for the second time by a score of 25 to 23. Roman and Long played their last game for Penn that night. The varsity closed the season with seven wins and twelve losses, giving them a percentage of .3l6. The team ended sixth in Section 8 of the W. P. l. A. L. The highest scorer for the year was Ct. Roman, who, during the course of the season, accumulated l62 points.

Perhaps the most outstanding triumph was that in the annual Allegheny County Track Meet when the boys and girls combined scored 89 points to put into second place l940 Cham- pion Bridgeville and their 74 tallies. In other such meets individual victories, rather than team conquests, were the keynote. ln the Washington Invitational meet Vencil Kokal lost a first place in the half-mile by a split hair. Other scorers in this meet were Al Ireland who took a third in the shot put and a fourth in the discus, and Art Johnson who tied for fourth in the high jump. ln the annual W. P. I. A. L, Outdoor Meet Al Ireland won a fourth in the shot put and Kokal copped a fifth in the half-mile. The mile relay team was good for a third in the Connellsville Relays and a fourth in the Tri-State Coaches Meet. The outstanding new record of the season was Arthur ,Iohnson's amazing high jump of six feet in the Mt. Lebanon meet. In almost every other event, running or in the field, a new record was established. High scorer for last season was Forest Woody Versaw, who, in seven meets, scored 88 points to top all previous Penn High scoring records. Woody also scored grand slams Cthree firsts in one meetl in three different con- tests to top this field. Second in scoring was Sam Newton with WM markers, while Al Ireland was third with 62 points. Last season 22 letters were awarded to track men. To let Penn's great dual meet record go unmentioned would be a great mistake. ln seven meets they scored the amazing total of 623W points to their opponents' 240M. ln these seven meets they lost but one contest, a close 65-61 decision to W.

The team, coached by the social studies teacher, lVlr. jacob Berg, and manned by Andy Seamon, Jim Snyder, Ronald Fowler, Frank Borkovich, and Andy Borkovich, won tion V crown. They tapped Oakmont KI I 3MJ, defeated New Kensington CI I-4J, lost one to Springdale Q8-7l, and beat Etna UZ- 3J, Aspinwall CI5-OJ, New Kensington U0- SJ, Springdale QIIKZ-3mJ, Etna U5-OJ, and Aspinwall U3-ZD. From there they entered into the play-offs, first encountering Ambridge whom they whipped CUM-I Their next hurdle was Baldwin Township, whom they likewise overthrew CIZM-ZMJ. They beat Turtle Creek K8-79 in the last game of the play-offs to win the championship. The lead-off man for the squad last year was Andy Seamon. I-le, along with jim Snyder and Frank Borkovich, compiled the most number of under 80 scores, while Andy Borkovich had the lowest of the season, a 70. Ronald Fowler and Andy totaled the largest number of points. Prospects for I942 seem just as bright. Back from last season's team are Snyder, Fow- ler, and A. Borkovich, along with two subs, Guy Bosnick and Nick Puskarich. J. Bregant, R. Fowler, Mr. Berg, J. Snyder, F. Borkovich. H. Delancey, M. ens, U. H a 1 1 Schwarzel. Girls' Athlet Association Lsteph- . oran, A. , 0 Q , my A 'MA ic These four peppy cheerleaders, who urge the team on to victory in football and basketball and who arouse the student body in lusty cheers, we compliment. The new uniforms, purchased by the Student Council this year, and the girls' contributions of red and white boots enhance their attractiveness. The cheerleaders have, with the help of the sponsors, Miss Elizabeth Reed, Miss Elizabeth Klinar, and Mr. K. lngold, or- ganized a cheering section which they hope to improve in the future. The purpose of cheerleaders is to organize better cheering and to add color to the game. This vivacious group also originated a new cheer and polished up some of the old ones. Co-operation of this sort makes a more spirited Penn High. The Girls' Athletic Association, better known as the G. A. A., is headed by a council of eleven girls who, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Klinar and Miss Eliza- beth Reed, manage the different sports in which the girls take part. The council members are Ethel Hertzog, Dora Hill, Ruth May, Rose Perino, May Smith, Ethel Ellen Stoner, and Ruth Walton. The officers are: Jean Snyder, president: Mary Jane Day, vice presi- dentg Lois Moersch, secretary, Elizabeth Stoner, treasurer. The girls participate in soccer, basketball, volleyball, mushball, and track. The basketball team enters a Girls' Tourna- ment in which it competes with other schools. This year, if they acquire a sufficient number of points for activities, the girls will be awarded red and gold letters. I 0. he Q Ay 4 L .J Y I 3 Qi s ,K ' 'K 5 i f Q , riff .
