Walter Friday, cap' tain of the Safety Patrol, is missing from the picture Sluafmlfa Khaled .fiaea The Safety Patrol is an organization made up of ten boys from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. These boys guard the lives of the grade school children. They lead the small children safely home twice each day. Through rain, sleet, snow or sunny weather, the Safety Patrol is always on duty to insure the safety of the smaller members of our school system. Wtilter Friday is Captain, with Kenneth Whitney and Fred Hannak as Lieutenants. Other members are Williriiii Gressley, Tom Ganoe, Tow Drahnak, David Lewis, Leo Maruschak and Edward Slanoc. The members of the Safety Patrol have been per- forming this important school service for the past sev- eral years. Although they have made hundreds of trips home with the children, there has never been a serious accident to harm any of the younger children of the school. These boys give up class time to keep the members of hrst, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades free from unnecessary danger or injury from passing motorists. They direct automobile and pedestrian traffic at intersections where these young students have to pass on their way to their homes. The community owes a debt of gratitude to the Safety Patrol.

Each senior member is awarded with a jacket and a Varsity H letter. Before any senior is considered eligible for the above award, he must lirst have cjualilied for the regular school P. T. award. The ollicers consist of a president, a vice-president and .1 secretary-treasurer. The vice-president is elected during his junior year and assumes the otlice of presir dent during his senior year. The sponsors of the Varsity H-Club are the Head Coach of Athletics, Mr. Lockard, and his assistants, who are considered as honorary members of the club, Mr. Russo and Mr. Fetterman. The club strives to improve school athletics by en- couraging participation by the students, by organizing, developing and directing an athletic program which promotes and protects the health and physical welfare of all participants: by initiating and pursuing policies which will safeguard the educational values of inter- scholastic athletics and cultivate the ideals of good sportsmanship, and by promoting uniformity in inter- scholastic competition. The club tries to improve inter- :Xndy Horvath. Don Kelly 0 0 rqfze pam paofeol' scholastic relations by being good hosts to visiting teams. Freshmen are admitted into the H-Club only after they have earned a letter in baseball, basketball, foot- ball or track, have been recommended by any person who is already a member, and have been accepted by a majority vote of the entire club. Every year four evenings of basketball and fun are sponsored by the H-Club to raise money to secure jackets for the senior members. One evening, boxing is included upon the schedule of activities. Among the basketball games are the Alumni vs. Varsity and Faculty vs. Varsity games. Other games include the boys' intramural championship game and the girls' intramural games. In order to retain membership in the Varsity H-Club, a member must maintain a certain scholastic standard established by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. These include a nineteen year old age limit, passing grades in three or more full credit subjects, and not being absent for more than twenty days in one semester. Thus the Varsity H-Club en- courages scholastic achievement and regular school attendance.

It is composed of .approximately twenty-tive members, ranging from the seventh to the twelfth grades. The sponsor of this group is Mrs. Monteitli. The ollicers are president, ,Iohn Willi.iiiisg vice-president, Jayne Orosg secretary, Virginia Della Valleg treasurer, Margaret Kuzemchakg and reporter, Mary 'Io Lunn. Three members represent our school in the County Council. They are Margaret Kuzeinchak, john Willialms, and Mary jo Lunn. Margaret Kuzemchak represented our school and the County Council this summer when she went to Leader- ship Training Camp to learn more about junior Red C ross work. The group has made it an annual project to hold .i Queen of Hearts dance each February with its dec- orative theme being Valentines Day. There is a court chosen, with members from each home room and a king and queen from the senior class. This is usually one of the best-attended occasions of the school year. The profits from this dance are used to pack gift something for the school, from which the council thinks the whole school might benefit. Bake sales are also on the list of the activities of this group. They have had several of these which have turned out very successfully. The members were also solicitors when they sent out a plea for blood clonors this year, for the blood which is urgently needed both in this country and the war-ravaged areas in other lands. Our council was also the sponsor of movies which were shown this year illustrating how the Red Cross helps in times of disaster, both at home and abroad. The club also sponsored a bulletin board contest with enrollment as its theme. This was done so as to increase the interest in enrollment and let people know what was going on in the j.R.C. The bulletin boards were beautifullv decorated and a prize was given for the one which was considered best. The group has had a very full schedule and is pro- gressing more rapidly each year.
