Hardships and troubles mar the path, That we Seniors are about to climb, But by doing our best each long day We will reach the top, and there we'll stay Though our schooldays have ended, Our role in life is yet to begin, But may each departing Senior Play the game of life and win. ,, Z fs gEgAfQl....,..,..

The year passed rapidly bringing forth many enjoyable activities. In l937 we entered Robinson High 64 strong to begin our big year. During this year our class was organized with Mr. Shilling as faculty advisor. During this year we became very prominent by holding a memorable performance which made us set our goal for a trip to Washington, D.C., at the close of our Senior year. As 48 eager, determined Juniors we purchased a motion picture machine, showing monthly movies. Our class play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town, was presented the last of April and proved to be a great success, made so by the members of the class of '40 who participated in it. Last but not least was our Junior-Senior banquet, which we held at The Pines on May 24,-and which will never be forgotten. Forty-one young men and women came back to Robinson High to be the proud members of the class of '40. We immediately began to work to bring about our trip to Washington. We again held monthly movies. Our Senior class play, lVlama's Baby Boy, was presented in December, and it was said to have surpassed our Junior class play, indeed a high compliment. We also held a sport dance during December which proved to be very successful. And now, as every day brings us closer to the time when we must leave Robinson High, we happily, but yet a bit wistfully, look forward to Class Night, Commencement, and Washington, D.C.-our goal. We have, during our four years of school life at Robinson, tried to set an example which may be followed by succeeding classes. We have not tried to outdo the efforts of previous classes, but have merely tried to reach the goal which we set. We have done that and have thus proved that success comes to those who seek it. q.......,.. ........,..,.....g....................,..,...........Q--wg..............,.....,..,.....,..,..,. .,.....,.....,.... .,..............,.....,..,...........,..,........,......... -Q-0.-Q-.af-o--0--0--910 -0--0-.0-M Qwovowo- -0--I-0--0--C'-0-fowl-.000-v -0-I -0--O--0 O--0--0--O-0--0-0-0-Q --two-Q.. -O- 'of-Q--of-0-9 -0--9 -Ono- -of-0--0--C 0-0--0 0--0-0 5 9 ...,,yvQ-az IQ 5 6 J P 315 -'wqiwlxv l I 5 1 ,,.,.....,..,.............................,......... .....,..,........,....

As we did not organize our class during our Freshman year, it was uneventful. We did, however, give to the school many outstanding athletes in football, basketball, and soccer. Forty-five Sophomores were present in i938 to renew their struggle for the long- coveted seats of the Seniors. During this year our class became more prominent than ever in producing many athletes for Robinson High. Our scholastic standard was very high. Forty-one of us have become Juniors' with the express desire of making this a memorable year. We have to date held a sport dance and our Junior Prom. We are looking forward to our Junior class play and Junior-Senior banquet as the climaxes of a grand year. Now, as we come nearer to being elevated to the position of Seniors, we wish to say that it will take extremely hard work on the part of every class member to maintain the high standards set for Robinson by the Seniors of 1939-40.

As a most fitting last expression of our esteem we bequeath to: Mr. Graff, an improved Chinese dialect and our unusual ability to sing swing songs. Mr. Allen, our gift of gab so that he will be able to best Mr. Terry and Mr. McCullough in their numerous learned disputes. Miss Humes, a new Packard and a tall, slender man to decorate her homeroom for Christmas. Miss Jones, a stop watch that will make her stop and long remember her homeroom of l94O. . Mr. Lowery, a bunch of bananas for his lunch during the coming year. Mr. McCullough, a case of Wheaties to build up his football team after the husky Seniors have departed. Miss Miller, a number of library shelves and a nice, long paddle. Miss Rickenbach, our wish that her long service as a V.l-LE. teacher will not have been in vain. Mr. Terry, a library, a pair of suspenders and many, many students who will type without using the seek and ye shall find system. Mr. Shilling, another class like that of i940 for which he can serve as faculty advisor and'a box of needed aspirin. Miss Scott, a sterner look to frighten the Freshmen and another literature class like the present Seniors. Mr. McAnulty, a new group of Seniors who will carry on the high scholastic traditions set by the class of l940. -0--o-flwo--0--0--0-oo-- -U--0-0-0 --cf-0--0-'O--0--I Of- -0- -C--O1A-'awww-Q-0-O-4'-0--of-9--v-O-0--I-0-'O--Ou0--Ov-O-cl--I--ce-an . .-of-0--l--0-0-of-0-u 27 Q , NS' vI-'- Ns ., in R .p..o.

We were 79, a little green perhaps, but still noted for our sagacity in whispering in study halls and disregarding the glares of Mr. McCullough and Mr. Shilling, our homeroom teachers. The members of our class immediately made our presence felt, for it was known for miles around that great students and great athletes were to be found in abundance within the ranks of the class of 1942. We held no social activities during our first year nor did we organize our class, for we wished to observe and profit by the numerous mistakes made by the class of l94l. Now, as Sophomores, we have certainly found our place in Robinson High School. To us come the Seniors and even the Juniors for wisdom and counsel when trouble looms. The lowly Freshmen regard us with awe, for it is common news at Robinson that when anyone linds a seemingly unanswerable problem, they simply ask the Sopho- mores for the solution. On the athletic front the spearhead of Robinson's offensive is always led by a member of the class of l942. Our boys excel in football, basketball, and soccer. Our girls, too. are splendid athletes, several of them being employed by the Seniors to teach them the fine points. ln the classroom the Sophomores score the greatest triumphs. We are molding a firm foundation to prepare us to enter the realms of the upperclassmen, and we know that Robinson will long remember us with pride after June of l942 has joined the ranks of Father Time.

Seventeen of the eighty-seven students came from Croveton and nine from surrounding schools. lVlr. Lowery and Mr. McCullough were our homeroom teachers. . On September 26, I939, we had the honor of being the first Freshman class of R. H. S. to organize. We elected as officers: President, Betty Valeg vice president, Chris Mariadesg secretary, Lewis Trax: and treasurer, Merle Conley. Our first venture was a wiener roast held October 4, I939. It was a brilliant affair, and the Sophomores regarded us enviously. We are proud to say that three of the four cheerleaders are Freshmeng six of the thirteen band members belong to I943, and five made the football squad. Five more, including one of our football players, made the junior basketball team and several went out for soccer. ln February we held a Leap Year dance. The proceeds were given to the band for its advancement. It is our ambition to carry on in a manner worthy of the ideals that have bound us together as the first organized Freshman class. We want to be the best class in a better school when we leave the halls of Robinson as the graduating class of 43 .

They, too, fare, making remarkable progress. Mr. Graff, the conductor, is doing a splendid piece of work in training the feminine voices of Robinson. Many future concerts are being planned and, it is needless to say, the students are looking forward to them. --o--o--o--on -o--o--o--o--o--o--o--v-o--o--o--e--w-o--e--o--s-- -n--s- --o--Q--0--o--of-m 9- --a-- -o--o--o--o--on --on --Q--Q--Q--o-WG' 4 --O- -0-0-0--0 -0- -rw-0-Q0 -0--1 -owe- . ...g..,. -0- -0--O-O--c-fo-l-0--0--0- -0-O-9 I-0-r-n-9-c--o--0--v .14 H21 The Hygiene Club WASHING BABY The Chemistry Club IN AcT1oN ffm-0.4-o-41-vfv-m-9-9-U-o--o-no--vm--M-o--o--o--o--0--0--0 I H E R 0 B I N -ov-o--s--m-ow0--on0-4--m-an--0-wav-0--o--9-Quo--0-4-mann' Miss Cline Advises A VALUABLE LESSON The Hygiene club, under the supervision of Miss Cline, is trying to impress upom the minds of its members a deeper, finer appreciation of the value of good health, both mentally and physically. During this course, normal problems dealing with the health of the individual, the home, and the community are thoroughly discussed. Another phase of Hygiene which is studied is the care of infants and small children. Miss Cline carefully points out measures that should be taken to prevent disease in our homes and community. This early high school instruction will be of great value in later life. Nature's Secrets 3 5 ARE REVEALED i The Science club is composed of 34 members and is under the able supervision of Q Mr. Lowery. The class is organized and meets every Tuesday and Thursday after- S noon. The ollicers are Don Romain, president: Paul Bachman, vice president: and 2 Gregg Cook, secretary. The chairman of activities, john Ambrozic, reports at every 5 class meeting any experiments or problems any member of the class may want discussed. These experiments are then carried out under the watchful eyes of all members. -0--0--0-9 -0--0-4-0- Rim-v 3 5 9 5 Q 9 'P 'I' 5 6 i 'I' 9 'I' 'P 4 6 'I' 2 Y ! 9 i 9 Q 2 5 s 5 2 I z 'P 9 Q Q Q 5 5 'I' 6 9 A NN -0- 4- I--O 9-on 0-I-0-0 -0-C x I THE ROBJIN 0 ? 2 9 Q 2 Washington Bound To SEE THE CAPITAL 9 6 ? 9 5 4 Q 4 'I' 'Z' 2 E 2 2 ! 6 Q Q 9 Q Q Q I O 5 i Q , 3 3 2 6 9 ? e I 5 5 Y e a Robinson School Buses Q ALL STREAMLINED 3 l44l -O--0-Q--0--0--0--0-0-Qf4O--0'-0--0--0-O--I-4--M-0-Q--0+-6--D-0-4-0--0--0-0-0--0--Q--0--0--I--0-fr 'CHO' 0-0--0-0--O-0-0--o--0-0--0--0--0--o- I-Q-fo-' --Q--Q--l--0--0-0--0-0--0--0--Q--on K 1 p-o-o--o--o--o--o-o-o-o-o-o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o-- -os-Q-o--m T H E R 0 B I N -o-uwn--o--v-owo--o--o-o-v-o-o-o-o-o-o-s-swo--o--owo+-owo-g 9 A Hard-Earned Vacation Six JOYFUL DAYS 1- -Quo-0--0-0 This posed picture shows the Seniors as they hope to look on May 28, when they board the bus for their trip to Washington.

ADD A LITTLE. SALT The Home Arts club, under Miss Rickenbach's alert supervision, proves to be a most useful experience for the girls who participate in its activities. The members have learned to knit, crochet, and weave some of the most intricate patterns which they use in making table and dresser covers. Not only do they sew but they have all tried their hand at cooking. They spend a great deal of time planning excellent meals and then they prepare certain items of the menu. We hope that this experience will prove to be of great value to the girls later on in life. First Row - Turnbull, Davis, Nozick, Kirchner, Andrascik, lVliss Rickenbach.

Miss Cline's office is located in the Junior High School building and is modern in every respect. Miss Cline daily cares for the physical needs of the students, and the needs are constant and plentiful. In addition to caring for the health of the students while in school, Miss Cline spends considerable time in the field, visiting children and parents who are in need of medical attention. ln addition to her nursing duties, Miss Cline teaches classes in hygiene. The classes are not only interesting from the students' point of view, but are extremely valuable from the practical side. Robinson and her students are indeed grateful to the Public Health Nursing Associa- tion and Miss Cline for the splendid service they so cheerfully render.

The nymph beckoned me and we began a journey to see in what walks of life my classmates would be five years hence. A New York was our first stop. We were attracted by the throng that surrounded a theater on Broadway where the premier of the famous drama, Schooldays, starring that noted love team, Dorothy Freebing and William Van Jura, was being presented. Also starred in the cast were Betty Drnarch, Marguerite Leonard, and John Skiba. Peeping backstage I saw Peg Andrascik, make-up artist, discussing the play with Joe Marion, the director, and Kenneth Lowery, the manager of the theater. Crossing the Atlantic we saw a ship. Drawing nearer we saw John Sauers and Bob McKean, dressed like sailors, being commanded by Captain Willis Branding, to force joe Siezenga and John Jarsulic to walk the gangplank for desertion. Our attention was attracted to an old trunk which revealed john Klein, a stowaway, following Betty Kirchner on her travels around the world. On reaching Paris, we were greeted by a skyscraper which proudly displayed a huge sign, La Murph Designs. Her apprentices were Pearl Sadowsky and Ethel Smith. who were fitting a gown on their mannequin, Margaret Nozick. We later found that Martha Hamilton and Mary Ambrozic were the capable seamstresses of the firm. Leaving Paris we next stopped at Berlin where Andy Nosal was busily engaged in painting a portrait of Adolf Hitler. We next landed in Greece, where our empty stomachs led us to a restaurant run by James Mariades, assisted by his wife, the former Henrietta Shost. We placed our order with Catherine Musta, waitress, who gave the order to lrene Sabol, the cook, to be filled. Crossing the Pacific, we stopped on an obscure island where we found Dr. Harryet Allen doctoring uncivilized savages. We stopped at Hollywood where we first met Publicist Cele Kropf. ln a picturesque office we saw Frank Butya blushingly teaching students how to make love on the screen. These students had recently graduated from Miss Florence Davis' school. Next we found Vera Podmilsak's famous orchestra, featuring Robert Feist, the inter- national jitterbug, taking a screen test. Departing we headed for Chicago. We took an aeroplane. The pilot, Stanley Stavish, was talking to the air-hostess, Margaret Aubel, about one of the passengers, Miss Anna Ewonce. ln Chicago we found Alice Phillips, editor of a newspaper, giving her secretaries, Frances Mysliewiec and Jane Guizik, a lesson in good journalism. At a college we saw Harold Blumling, a famous basketball coach. We at last steered homeward and who should we find fishing at Dickerson's Pond, Montour Park, where they had been spending their honeymoon, but Mr. Charles George and his wife, the former Miss Jean Phillips. Now our journey is ended, said the nymph. My vision became clearer. As the sun was slowly sinking in the west, the nymph faded away in the mist. -0--9--M AIG, n c Q 1 6 3 I Q I + S t r ? 2 I I I 9 Q 4 6 z 4 Q 9 + Q 5 'I' 2 Y e 4 t 9 ...,.................,..,..,..,..,..............,..,......,.g. ..,..,.....,.... ....,..,..,..,........4....... ..........,........ ....................,..,.....,.-1 l49l 2 -4-I I ............,..............,....

Mr. Wrenshall, who assists in football and basketball, and who is varsity soccer coach, was a line tackle at Washington and Jefferson in his undergraduate days. Mr. Terry is a graduate of Indiana Teachers. He does a fine job in arranging schedules for the Black and Gold. Robinson School Spirit KEEP THE FLAME BURNING School Spirit, the invisible something that can move mountains, is capably handled at Robinson by Mildred Shanes, Jane Malarkey, Gloria Rubeo, and Fay Drexler. The girls are present at all athletic encounters and their vim and vigor greatly enhances Robinson's prospects for victory. The girls have a number of clever school yells in their collection, and they are expert in getting the students' enthusiasm in back of our teams. .,..,, . .. ..........,.....,.......u cr 53 -0-o-0 -0-0--0--9-0-V -0-act--0--0-4--0--0 -0000 -Q--0--0--9--0--0--1--0+-0--0--04 -0--0--0-4-0--0--0--01-v-0--O'-0 -0--0--on r-v-0--M-of-I--0-0 114 I and-ons--Q--Ono--0-4-4--Q-01-0-4'-O-fl -4' ' mm--0-4-4-4-4-0-0 - -U.. -of-0--one--o-o--0--e--0--v --0--0-Q-0-o--o--o--o--o--o-r I H IE R 0 II N fo--9-:--Q--m.Q--Q--of-o--o-one-of-0--of-of-o--of-o--mu--s-o--c--5 -0-A--o-o--o--0--o--0-I The Black and Gold Coon SPORTSMEN ALL 6 Q 4 5 Q 9 9 Y 9 6 9 9 2 2 9 2 5 E 'I 54 Sectional Champions PERENNIAL TITLE I '-our-o--o--0--o--o--o--o--Q--c--p--q-. .pa-.1--4--0--m -o-o-o-o--o-o--o-.ouo-o--o--o-n-o--a--o--o--0--1--o--of-o--0--o-ona--0--o-bv-Q-4--s-m-o-of-o-a--c--o--o--o--o--o--n--0--0--o-I -0-' 1-ft-0-'O-0-0-Qfeo--I--Ont'-0--I--0 f - --Ova- 'I' H E R O B I N -o-we-c--Q--of-r-u-0-our-vw-4--ra-va-4-one--rafma-my The 1939 Gridiron Season FOOTBALL RESULTS SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN Robinson 0 E..

The schedule included eight games and the Black and Gold gridders were able to chalk up three wins, four defeats, and one tie. East Washington was the first opponent of the season and Robinson was forced to battle against great odds both in weight and experience to gain a tie. In the games that followed, the team improved in every way. Findlay was beaten, and Moon was decisively walloped. Ben Avon wan only in the last few minutes of play, 20-I 3. Oakdale, the fifth opponent, proved to be somewhat more difficult than the Robinson gridders had expected. After a some- what slow and listless ball game, Robinson finally eked out a 6-0 victory over this stubborn fighting team. Robinson was handed another defeat by the fast-charging Neville team on Neville's field. The highly favored Leetsdale team. although it chalked up a I3-0 victory, met with a stubborn, fighting resistance on the part of our players. Robinson met Snowden in the last game of the season and was beaten by only one touchdown, which was gratifying considering the fact that they were district champions. - Due credit must be given to the seven Senior members of the team: I-Iarolcl Blumling, Willis Branding, Charles George, Stanley Stavish, Joe Siezenga, John Jarsulic, and James Mariades. These boys have played their last games for Robinson and to them we owe a great deal. They will leave vacancies that will be hard to fill. However, they have given to the ones remaining their never say die spirit, and Robinson may look forward to even greater seasons in years to come. -0--out--wI0-0-0-0-Of-0-0--of-0--0-w-0-c--0--0--0--l--0--0-0-o-l--0--l--0--0--l--0-0--l-s--o--o-0--0--0--4--0-fs-- -0-O-0-ow0v-o-bof-o--Q--c-- --0--0-0-01-0--0-0--0-0 55 .0-of 'CHO' -0-fo-0-0 -0--0-4' '-' -of-0+ 6 9 I Q i' C a a a 6 6 9 9 9 3 lI'lHllE ROBIN Varsity Basketball FIVE FLASHES Junior Basketball MR.

Z The next game again being with North Fayette, Robinson easily challced up another victory-this time by a much larger score, 35-19.

The Black and Gold booters, after capturing their section without being defeated or scored upon, were downed by the veteran Snowden team by the scores of 2-I , I-I , I-l. The first game of the series was played on the Robinson field, and the visitors copped the game when Robinson failed to take advantage of several scoring chances. In the tie game played on the small Snowden field, Robinson led until the final ten seconds of play when a shot was deflected off Ed Mochniclfs leg through the goal. The third and deciding game was played at the Munhall field with Robinson going down to defeat after a hard-fought battle. Five Senior boys, who were instrumental in Robinson's second successful season, played their last game at Munhall. They were Anthony Marko, Joe Darak, Harry Panazzi, Henry Klobchar, and Steve Skiba. Harry Panazzi and Joe Darak were the two offensive threats on the team, being the leading Robinson scorers. ug-4...-.5..g .gug-.p wg--9--9--9-Q-.ga-q..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. .. . ..g..g..g..g..Q4..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g'.q..g..g..g..q..g..g..g..g -o- 9 --0-Il -o--0--one--0-I 'CMO -if-O-0-Q-Q-Quo-Q--O-4-4--Q-4--O--0 Q- f -0--0-fi -0-0 O--v .-g-- 9.4.- -0-Q -O-0-of-v -0-0-A--0-If-I-0 '-o--lf-Ov-0-O--0--c--Q--0-4O-0- Autographs Of-Of-O-0' -O-0--OwOoo0ui--0-vl--l--O--0-v0-v-O-0--0--l--0w0--0v-0w0- 59 9 gh' 60 ,,,,,,,.,,..,,,,,.,.
