How jittery they became at the thought of the county tests that were to decide their fate. Then, in eighth grade, Theodore Perich and Esther Stover received the American Ix gion awards. Some of them, also, were participants in a puppet show. In ninth grade, they all had to study a trifle harder. This was their third year in high school and either algebra or junior business training was required. As Sophomores, they had more clubs and social activities. Their class party, under the direction of Miss Mash, was greatly enjoyed by all. SOPHOMORE HOP MISS MASH AND CLASS OFFICERS 21 FRESHMEN SURPASSED ALL OTHERS IN THE SALE OF BONDS.

The boys enjoyed occasional football and mushball games. Joanne Baker, Donald Turchan, Ralph Whitney, Mabel Jane Kunkle, and Jerry Johnson participated in a one-act play called, “Who Gets The Car Tonight?” When they passed into eighth grade, almost all of them became members of clubs. And. then, at last, it came, the day they were given diplomas and told that they were now Freshmen. They feel quite important now. They had quite a lovely time at their party this year-on April 21. These loyal students make an effort to support all school activities. Three years of their journey are completed. They have yet three more to go. We sincerely hope they may uphold their fine standards in the years to come. 22 PALS C LASS OFFICERS EIGHTH GRADERS HAVE FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED THE SCHOOL’S VICTORY PROGRAM Sixth Row: E. Watt, R.

Although this is their very first year in junior high school, under the guidance of their adviser, Miss Stump, they are fast acquainting themselves with the duties and practices necessary to become high school students. They have shown their salesmanship ability in the bond and stamp sales and in the magazine campaign. They do their best to support all the activities in the school.. CLASS OFFICERS FLAG PRESENTATION DISPLAY ,w SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BAND Although the war has restricted many of its activities, the band still is a very active organization. The members have presented several assembly programs. They play, whenever possible, at the football games and have many spectacular formations in their marching routine. CHORUS The chorus, under the leadership of Mr. Kunkle, furnishes an opportunity for those with talent in singing to express themselves. They took part in several chapel programs, and provided the music for the Christmas program and the Commencement Exercises. To pay for their Russian tunics, the members sponsored a series of musical programs. SPECIAL MUSIC GROUP These young, ambitious girls and boys are the future members of our band. Some may even become band artists in the professional world of music. JOURNALISM CLUB The major undertaking of this club is the publication of the school newspaper, “The Blue and White Mirror.” They also keep a record of the addresses of all the alumni in service and send each one a copy of every edition of the paper. This club sponsored the first social function of the year, a Hallowe’en dance. JUNIOR DRAMATICS Each member must take part in some form of dramatic production. The club teaches dialect, make-up, costuming, and stage acting. A three-act play, “Grandpa’s Twin Sister,” was a good example of their talent. SENIOR DRAMATICS The chief production of this organization is the annual senior play. This year a three-act mystery farce, “The Haunted Chair,” was presented in April. Other plays presented by this group included “The Blackout Mystery” and “Paul Loses The Ration Books.” HOSTESS CLUB The members have shown their ability to adapt themselves to the needs of the school. Their project of teaching dancing to the sophomore, junior, and senior boys has been quite successful. The club sponsored the Saint Patrick’s Day dance which was attended by about four hundred students and teachers. JUNIOR RED CROSS The chief aim of the Junior Red Cross is to aid our service men. They gathered hangers during the scrap drive; they have collected games and cards for the men in service. Book covers, made in the art department, were sent to institutions for the blind. FIRE PATROL This organization is a result of the war. If a fire were to start in school, who would fight it? This is the job of the members of this club. They take their stations and are ready to perform their duty with clocklike-precision. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS “la- Cercle Francais” is an organization of students of the French language. Its purpose is to give the students an opportunity to study the customs and history of the French people and their country, and to acquire a working knowledge of the language by using it. All students of French whose grades are satisfactory and who possess an interest in France and her people may become members of “Le Cercle Francais.” SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of the club is to promote a greater interest in science by discussing scientific topics which can not be taken up in detail in the classroom. The organization plans interesting programs for its regular meetings, each member doing his utmost to make the programs worthwhile. SKULL AND BONES Through constant application of diligent effort on the part of the sophomores, an organization known as Skull and Bones was 26 finally formed. Aside from the usual program of class motivation by the introduction of novel facts of biological existence and purpose, the welfare of others is the keynote. PERSONAL TYPING A new organization which gives Juniors and Seniors who are unable to take typing in their regular schedules an opportunity to acquire the skill. The club meets twice a week during the activity period. USHERS These girls usher for all the social functions of the high school. Conditions have curtailed the social program this year, but the girls have helped greatly on the few occasions when their services were requested. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders are the morale builders of our school. They accompany the football team to all the games. Whether the team wins or loses, we can hear their encouraging shouts. G. A. A. This is one of the largest groups organized. After the business meeting they participate in games such as basket ball, volley ball, socker, and shuffle board. The Seniors have the champion basket ball team of 1944. WILLING WORKERS Their chief aim is to raise money to buy extra equipment for the school. In previous years they have bought many things. Their aim this year was a juke box. However, due to war conditions, they were not able to obtain one. BULLETIN BOARD The care of the bulletin boards in the hall and in the English rooms is the responsibility of this club. Information pertaining to school activities and education is posted. This year they donated twenty books of modern fiction to the school library. BAND LEADERS OF THE BAND Sixth Row: G. George, R. Sauers, R. Detriech. Fifth Row: G. Breakey, J. Kelley, W. Jewett, M.

Belle Vernon 0 Home 9 Penn Township 7 Jeannette 14 Away 18 Penn Township 6 Pitcairn 34 Away 23 Penn Township 6 Trafford 16 Home Nov. 6 Penn Township 26 Bell Township 0 Home THE Ligonier game proved a real test for our boys. Of course they were nervous and anxious, but Penn Township came through victorious. The game with Youngwood turned out a smashing victory, although Penn Township was the underdog. The touchdowns were made by the McClain brothers. Penn Township entered the game with East Deer unbeaten, and even unscored on. In the last minutes of play, the Indians scored a point, but, because of spectators on the field, the extra point was not counted. The game with North Belle Vernon was a very close game, with the score tied 0-0 at the half. Jones made many spectacular runs for the opponents, but again our team came through. GUARDS In this, our first defeat of the season, Jeannette men had their backs to the goal line many times, but when John McClain was taken out because of injuries, they proved just a little too powerful. It was a wet day and the Pitcairn field was slippery and muddy. This game was topped by Bickerstaff’s 75-yard run for the lone score. Aiwine, the star of the Trafford game, snatched a pass in the last few seconds of play to run 60 yards for a touchdown. However, the Indians were defeated. Although they were forced to play their best ball, the game with Bell Township came as an easy victory. TACKLES BASKETBALL Second Koto: J. Zimmerman, J. McC'utcheon, R. Anderson, Hartman.

ALTHOUGH Penn Township ended up in fourth place in the league, they made a good showing for themselves by losing only five non-league games. Four of these were with Class A teams. Bigler, the high scorer in almost all of the games, was invaluable to the team. There were high hopes for a chance to advance in the County Tournament, but John McClain was drafted. This left a place on our team that could not be filled in so short a time. Though Ligonier had bowed to Penn Township twice before,. they were victorious in the tournament. 1343-1944 BASKET BALL SCHEDULE Dec. 3 Penn Township 23 Export 16 Home 10 Penn Township 17 Norwin 25 Home 14 Penn Township 61 Franklin 33 Away 17 Penn Township 33 Export 30 Away 21 Penn Township 40 Franklin 18 Home 28 Penn Township 29 Jeannette 34 Away Jan. 4 Penn Township 27 Ligonier 22 Away 7 Penn Township 17 West Newton 37 Away 11 Penn Township 37 Trafford 18 Home 14 Penn Township 36 Youngwood 51 Home 18 Penn Township 36 S.

Through his insistency and fine leadership, he produced a team that was noted for its fighting spirit and sportsmanship. This was his first try at coaching a football team in Penn Township. It proved a successful season. Both the team and the coach merit our praise. PIERRE HARTMANN, who is six feet seven inches tall, was star player for Washington and Jefferson College where he played center. In addition to his commendable coaching of the varsity, he played for various local teams, including Local 22 of the Industrial League and the Pittsburgh Corbetts of the Mnuicipal League.

This time it was a call to collect scrap paper. The paper was collected in the home rooms and then removed to the cafeteria, where it was sorted and packed by members of the Junior Class. In this task, like all others set before the students, they went beyond any expectations. Mrs. Permar, the chairman, reported that more than four tons were collected in the schools. AMERICANS DONATE BLOOD PENN TOWNSHIP residents have proved to be real patriots by their response to the Red Cross call for blood donors, for blood plasma saves countless lives on the battle front. Miss Mash, one of our new teachers, is the nurse’s aide and Charles Moser is the donor. SCHWARTZ DESIGNS FLAG OUR school is proud of its part in the purchase of bonds and stamps. At the beginning of the term, a goal of fifty thousand dollars was set, but this has been greatly surpassed. We are also proud of the Bushy Run flag that was designed by Kenneth Schwartz, one of our Junior boys. This flag will be displayed by all county schools in which the students have maintained, for a twelve-week period after the Rattlesnake Flag has been earned, a percentage of ninety or more in the purchase of bonds anti stamps. Several schools, including the High School, have attained this goal. THE JOURNALISM STUDENTS BROADCAST THESE students, members of the Journalism Club, presented the play, “An Evening with the Penn Family, over the radio system. Gerald Breakey played the part of the announcer; Dwight Corle, the son, John; Rudy Labor, the author of the play and the father, Mr. Penn; Clifford Felmlee, the Irish contestant, Mr. Levy and the problem solver, Mr. Anthony; Esther Stover, the Mother, Mrs. Penn: and Annabelle Bohince, the daughter. Sue. Miss Riggs, the adviser of the staff and director of the cast, looks on. THE purpose of the play was to increase the circulation of the school newspaper. Whether or not the program increased the sale of the school newspaper, “The Blue and White Mirror,” the students enjoyed the original and humorous sketch of a typical family. 45 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR SENIOR PRESIDENT RECEIVES GIFT JOHN McCLAIN, president of the Senior class, was called to the sendee of his country in February.

SENIORS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP LEADERS PLAN MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN IN the first assembly program of the year, October 18, the annual magazine campaign was launched by Mr. Smull, the Curtis Publishing Company’s representative. The campaign was under the leadership of Mrs. Moli-nero, faculty chairman, and her assistant, Miss Mash. Isadore DeVal was student general manager. The Blue Team, composed of grades seven, nine, and eleven, had John Onder as captain. Charlotte Wonders was captain of the Red Team which included grades eight, ten, and twelve. Home room captains aided the team captains. Each team set a goal of $450, making the goal for the school $900. WINNERS RECEIVE THEIR AWARDS THE magazine campaign closed with a total of $1,304. Of this amount, the profit of $450 was added to the movie projector fund.

Dorothy Deuel, who sold the highest amount of subscriptions, won the overnight bag. 46 NEWS REVIEWS NEW TEACHERS JOIN FACULTY We were glad to welcome several new teachers to our high school last fall. Mrs. Drew Courtney, who formerly taught in the Philippines joined the English Department to take over the position vacated by Miss Bogle, who transferred to the Physical Education staff. Miss Vivian Mash, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Seton Hill, replaced Miss Duncan, who joined the WAVES, as a commercial teacher. In the Home Economics field, Miss Lucille Ross, a graduate of Seton Hill, replaced Mrs. Roberts. Another newcomer was Pierre Hartman, who assumed the responsibilities of Physical Education for the boys. GLIMPSES INTO THE CLASSROOMS During the first sextile, the roving reporter, wandering about the halls, found interesting activities going on in the various classrooms. In the Home Ec. room, he saw the girls canning tomatoes, catsup, and chili sauce. The eleventh grade English classes were putting on pantomimes. The motive was to accustom the pupils to reciting before the class. One of the best was presented by Jay Mayo and Albert Orr, who portrayed a man and a woman at a boring opera. Jay Mayo portrayed the part of the woman while Albert Orr put on a striking performance as the bored man. Miss Riggs was teaching the sophomore English classes the origin of the English language and correct speech. Compositions, pantomimes and open discussion were part of the procedure. In the boys’ gym class, he found the stalwart lads dashing around the field. Mr. Hartman, the instructor, said the schedule for the term would include calisthenics, military drill, racing, and touch football. Freshmen science classes were studying the uses of common gases. They were also experimenting with the making of salt and the breaking down of chemical compounds. In Mr. Long’s Economics classes, the Seniors were busy familiarizing themselves with terms common to this course. All classes were characterized by industry and activity. NEWSPAPER STAFF SPONSORS DANCE The first social event of the school year was an informal dance sponsored by the Journalism Club. The dance was held in the school gym on Friday evening, October 22. Guests were members of the faculty and the football team. Couples danced to the rhythmic strains of Dallas Cupps and his orchestra. The gym was decorated in the typical Hallowe’en black and orange. Lights which were placed in pumpkins and strung along the bleachers afforded th'e lighting. Cornstalks in the corners and on each side of the orchestra added an air of Hallowe’en to the gym. NEWS REVIEWS TEACHERS ENJOY BANQUET The Twp. Teachers stepped out on Friday, Oct. 15, to a chicken dinner at Village Inn. Miss Watt, Miss Bogle, and Mr. McCullough, in charge of the affair, arranged an extremely interesting program. One of the amusing numbers was an original duet by Mr. Kunkle and Mr. Olmes. SCHOOL RECEIVES FLAG IN ARMISTICE DAY ASSEMBLY During the Armistice Day assembly, J. H. Hughes gave an interesting speech entitled “Armistice Day Remarks.” Dr. C. F. Maxwell, the Superintendent of Westmoreland County schools, addressed the group on “The First Declaration of Independence.” Dr. Maxwell also presented the Rattlesnake Flag awarded us because we had achieved a percentage of 90% or more in the sale of bonds and stamps for 12 successive weeks. Mr. Mochniek, on behalf of our school, accepted it. HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” Because Dickens has given us the Christmas message in a simple, yet poignantly real and interesting manner, the production of a variation of “A Christmas Carol” has become a tradition in Penn Twp. High School. This year it was presented in the form of an operetta with Mr. Kunkle in charge of the music. Miss Riggs coached the drama. The main characters were: Scrooge, Robert Sauers; Bob Cratchit, Donald Nicholson; Mrs. Cratchit, Delores Beltz; Tiny Tim, James O’Brien; and Jacob Marley, James Brewer. The operetta was presented free of charge; its only purpose was to present the beautiful Christmas story for entertainment. LIGONIER TAKES BEATING On September 11, with Rosenzweig at the helm. Penn Township opened her “43” football season with a 6-0 victory over Ligonier. Our boys put up a good and hard fight to win over the tough Ligonier “eleven.” The winning touchdown was made by Onder in a reverse. He got the ball from J. McClain and ran forty-three yards for the touchdown. The game was loosely played on both sides because of frequent fumbles on the part of both teams. Ligonier tried vainly to score, but a fumble on a “sleeper” play prevented the touchdown. Only once did the Mountaineers penetrate the Indians’ thirty-yard line. Line-up: Position L.E.......
