Sally has been quite a center of attraction in school and besides being good looking herself she ♦ receives a “good looking” report card every six weeks which has resulted in her being the Valedictorian of our class. She is a happy-go-lucky kid ; and how she likes her chewing igum!!! JAMES WILSON—“Sqwinfc” Class President 1, Biology Club President 2, Boys’ Glee Club 3-4, Basketball 4, Treasurer Hi-Y 4, Salt Shaker Staff 4, “Windy Willows” 4. Here comes the wise-cracker and teaser! Anytime you feel blue and down-hearted go to “Squink” and he’ll make you forget your troubles. He is the best all-round entertainer, especially in French Class. But we enjoy his presence every place and anytime.

John is our class “filibuster,” especially in P. of D. Class. He is the future Senator Long. Nor does he hold such a bad record in track or basketball. Keep it up, Rupert. MABEL STINE—“Seine” H. H. H. Club, Prom Committee 3, Salt Shaker Staff 4, Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Biology Club. Mabel was cut out to be one of the idle rich. What wouldn’t she give to marry a millionaire. Her cares are few and her worries none. Her lessons are the last word in her daily routine but she gets there just the same. 19 3 3 Page Five THE SALT SHAKER MYRON KIEBLER—“Kieb” Boys Glee Club 3-4, Secretary 4, Hi-Y 4, Biology Club 2, Vice President, Class President 3, Prom Committee 3, Senior Dance Committee 4, Stage Manager “East Lynne” and “Tommy”, “Windy Willows” 4, “Strange Bequest 4, Editor-in-Chief of Salt Shaker 4.

GEORGE CUNKLEMAN—“Gregory Class Basketball 1-2-3-4, Biology Club 2, “Up in the Air”, Boys’ Glee Club 3-4, Prom Committee 3, Hi-Y 4, Salt Shaker Staff, Track 2-3-4. Here is our famous track man! He is a very good sport and has a weakness for a certain curly-headed blonde who thinks a lot of him also. He likes to hunt and take his girl joy-riding in his sister’s car. Good luck, George.

Janet is our petite brunette who has achieved a lot of popularity through her ability to orate. Janet is a friend to all and a very willing helper, although she seems to like talking a lot. Lots of luck in the future, Janet. DONALD SHIRLEY—“Don” Don joined our ranks in ’31 as a Junior and has been plugging right along with the rest of us. He has very little to say about himself, except that he walks about three miles to and from school every day. For quite a while he manipulated one of those things commonly known as Fords, but of late he has been riding in ‘Hoofer’s Hack.” —1 9 3 3 ►THE SALT SHAKER-——- JUNE HILTY—' June Biology Club 2, Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Tri-Hi-Y 4, Class Reporter, Salt Shaker 4. June is the only red-head in our class. In all the time she has been with us she has seemed quiet and bashful but we know she is not. However we couldn’t do without her. GENEVA CASH— Geneva” Treasurer 1, Class Reporter, Salt Shaker 4. She is one of our “brainy” students and has kept herself busy during her four years with us to gain the honor bestowed upon her for commencement. Lots of luck in the future, Geneva. GILBRAITH STITT—“Stitty” Biology Club 2, Cheer Leader 1-2, President Boys’ Glee Club 4, Secretary Hi-Y 4, Salt Shaker Staff 4, Track 2-3. Stitty is the shortest boy in the Senior Class and very frequently is not in seat until the last toll of the bell. Has anyone seen Stitty dance? Well, he surely can tap-dance. Keep it up, Stitty!! MARY ELLEN WALTERS— Mary EUen Biology Club 2, Class Secretary 2, Prom Committee 3, Salt Shaker Staff 4, Treasurer Tri-Hi-Y 4, Secretary-treasurer Girls’ Glee Club. Mary Ellen is one of our out-of-town students who enjoys driving her car to and from school. I am told that she gets a “kick” out of P. of D. class. However, she does fine in all her classes and plans to be a future school teacher. 1 9 3 3- Page Seven RUTH COCHRAN—“Ruth Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Prom Decoration Committee 3, Tri-Hi-Y 4, Alumni Editor, Salt Shaker 4, “Windy Willows” 4. A tall slender girl is our Ruth. Her beaming countenance is ever glancing to catch the eye of a certain member of the opposite sex. Her permanent wave has given her extra attention and chic this last year. WARD BROWN—“Pcs” Biology Club 2, Boys’ Glee Club 3-4, Basketball Manager 3, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” 1, Track 3-4, Salt Shaker Staff. Gangway, here comes Pex the boy with the dimple on his chin and the curly hair. Pex is mischievous but certainly goes for the girls in “big” way. He rides around in a two-seated Dodge. And can he go! He frequently takes the girls for a ride. (???) EDWIN FRANKLIN—“ £d” Biology Club 2, Prom Decoration Committee 3, Assistant Business Manager Salt Shaker 4. Ed is the slow, ambling kind of lover. He has possibilities but does not give them a chance. He has had a hard time keeping up with the girls and goes for them all in a “big way.” Keep it up, Ed. EVA DUNN—“Eva” “Up in the Air” 2, Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Tri-Hi-Y 4, Biology Club 2, Prom Committee 3, Salt Shaker Staff 4, “Strange Bequest” 4, Cheer Leader 4, Staff Dance Committee. Eva is one of these “fast” ladies. She spends most of her time talking and devotes her spare time to chewing gum. If she has any ambitions she has kept them a secret because none of us have heard anything about it. She delights in teasing Mr. Fisher in English Class. � -• ♦ ♦ ♦ o9 3 3- Page Eight THE SALT SHAKER diaafi prapfjmj Robert McKelvey, Jr., Class President For the sake of momentary amusement, let us forget about the present and look into the dim uncertainty of the mysterious future. This prophecy is built upon a telephone conversation between myself and another member of the class in the year 1948, fifteen years from now. “Hello, Hello! Is this Myron Kiebler? It is, eh? Gosh! It doesn't seem possible for me to be talking to you again. I read in the paper last night that the famous lecturer and scientist, Myron Kiebler, would be in town today at the William Penn Hotel. So I thought I would call you up and talk about old times. (Listens.) What? You don’t know who this is? It seems you ought to remember my voice. I used to yell at you loud enough in study hall whenever the teacher went out. (Listens.) Yes, you guessed it. This is Bob McKelvey, alright. Do I remember the fun we had in Biology Class? I reckon I do. Mr. McMillen was certainly a case, wasn't he? Do you remember the time right after lunch when he said we were going to cut up a frog, and that he had one right there in his pocket to be used as a sample? Yes. And when he pulled the paper sack out of his pocket and dumped its contents on the table and out rolled a nice-looking sandwich; I nearly died laughing. (Listens.) “He sure did. But not only did he look funny—do you remember what he said? He said, ‘That’s funny! I distinctly remember eating my lunch.' Say, Myron, I wonder whatever became of him? (Listens.) He absent-mindedly put his cigar to bed and threw himself out of the window about two years ago? Gee! I hadn't heard about that.” (Listens.) “What? You don't know anything about any of our classmates because you've been in Europe? Well, I’ll tell you about any you wish. (Listens.) “Oh, you surely know what I’m doing! Why, I’m managing a store right here in the city. I guess I got my start working in my dad’s store back in Saltsburg. (Listens.) Ruth Cochran? That’s right, you did use to be a little sweet on her, didn’t you? It was probably her stylish clothes that attracted you more than anything else. Well, she’s making good use of her ability to wear clothes well. She's a model now in a Paris dress shop. Makes good money, too, I 've heard. (Listens.) “Did any of the others turn out so well? I’ll say they did! You know Gilbert Maguire always wanted to be a wild animal trainer? Well, he has a big farm down in Louisiana where he raises guinea pigs for laboratory purposes. You know how bashful he was in our Senior play. Well, he got over that, too. Oh— yes! Donald Shirley, who wanted to break into big league baseball, caught Babe Ruth’s long ♦ ♦ : i home run hit in the 1938 World Series. Of course Don was down in the right field bleach- I ers instead of on the playing field, but he had a thrilling experience anyway. (Listens.) “Yes, Eva Dunn and Sarah Ameno did try to get into the movies. And the joke of it is that one of them did. What? Now which one would you think would be the more likely to get in? You think Sarah was the better looking? I can’t agree with you on that. I think Eva is better looking. But Sarah was the one, though. Eva couldn’t make it because her voice didn’t record well. But she got on the staff of a film magazine where she got to interview the screen stars and write them up in the magazines. She had a natural gift for nosing into people’s affairs, so it seems she went well with Walter Winchell. I notice that she has never given Sarah a write-up even though Sarah is now a star. (Listens.) “No, Dan McDivitt didn’t go to Yale as he ; had planned. He took an airplane from New j York to go up to New Haven, but the plane got lost in the fog and made a forced landing at Princeton, New Jersey. Dan was a little leary of getting into that machine again, so he stayed there and entered Princeton University, instead of Yale. It was just as well, because Princeton needed a good basketball player more than Yale did. (Listens.) “Who? Janet Conn? She is our class’s only contribution to the legitimate stage. You know she used to win all the prizes for orations and carry off the honors in plays in High School. Well, she is now appearing in the Pulitzer Prize Play running on Broadway. And, you know, funniest thing, Who do you think is designing all the scenery for the stage in that play at Radio City? None other than Honest John Rupert, who used to have all the tricks and work the math, puzzles. (Listens.) No, Mary Ellen Walters didn’t marry that rich banker as we all thought she would. She eloped with that traveling man who used to deliver Tom’s Toasted Peanuts to Charlie Martin’s. He was later transferred to another State, so I don’t know how they are getting along. However, the banker is now in prison over some money deal, so I guess Mary Ellen knew best after all. (Listens.) “Oh, yes, Mabel Stine. Well, she intended to be a teacher. She went to college, but was never able to find a job. So she’s still at college. I suspect she’s taken about every course they have to offer. It probably wouldn’t be any fun to see her again. She probably talks like a dictionary by this time. (Listens.) (Concluded on Page 11) ►1 9 3 3- ►� ♦♦♦« Page Nine (Hlasis Mtora ! Janet Conn, 1 Scene—A living room in a home. Time is ♦ evening.

Say, mother, this ♦ story must be about Seniors. Here's a picture ♦ of one of them at school. They look just like f this picture. Mother, read to me about | Seniors. I Mother, reading— Once upon a time, a 1 long, long time ago, nearly 12 years ago, there j were some little boys and girls. These little ♦ boys and girls did not go to school as you and ! I do. They were not old enough to go to J school. But they wanted to go to school. So ♦ their papas and mamas told them that when + they were six years old they could go to school. So, one day all of them were six years old. ♦ When the school bell rang in the fall of the ♦ year these little boys and girls started off to school, with their books and tablets. They went to the Saltsburg School and the name of their teacher was Miss McQuaid. Of course, these little boys couldn’t read. They couldr’t write either. But their teacher told them if they would try hard and study well, that some day when they got bigger they could go to high school. The little boys and girls wanted to go ; to high school and play basketball, and be in plays, so they studied for eight long years. Then one day their teacher told them that they J were ready for high school. But all of the lit- ♦ tie boys and girls who started to school ♦ weren’t ready for high school. Some of them J had not studied as hard as they should. Some ♦ had moved away from town, and some other ♦ little boys and girls had moved in to take their ! places. So of all the little boys and girls left J to go to high school there were: Gladys Allen- ♦ baugh, Sarah Ameno, Ward Brown, Geneva I Cash, Ruth Cochran, Janet Conn, George Cun-J kleman, Gladys Dawson, Dorothy Drummond, ♦ Elmer Duke, Eva Dunn, Clifford Fishel, Carl Fletcher, Ernest Fletcher, Larue Flick, Edwin J Franklin, Christy Greece, June Hilty, Richard J Hogue, Anna Keeley, Melissa Kennedy, Myron ♦ Kiebler, Olive Kinter, McKay Lytle, Gilbert � Maguire, Mary Marsaln, Harry Momberger, J Thelma McCracken, Dannie McDivitt, Robert ♦ McKelvey, Irene McLaughlin, Duane Palmo, ♦ Charles Pendlyshok, John Rupert, Mary Sher- May 25, 1933 lock, Esther Shirley, Dorothy Shupe, Charlotte Smith, Mabel Stine, Sarah Stockdale, Irma Waddle, Thelma Waddle, Mary Ellen Walters and James Wilson. Well, when these boys and girls came to high school, they found a lot of other boys and girls who were older than they were. Some of them seemed to know so much more than others. They paraded around looking dignified, and sort of lordly like. Now the little boys and girls found out that these people had been in high school a long time. Some of their teachers told them that if they would work hard for four years they would know a lot, too. There were so many boys and girls in high school that they gave our group a special name. They called them Freshmen. The Freshmen found high school so much different from grade school. There were not so many subjects to study; but they were so much harder. There was one subject that was the queerest thing. If you didn’t know what it was about, you just said, Let X be it.’ Then finally you knew what the answer was, even though you didn’t know what is was all about. There were other subjects very different like Latin and Sicence. Afterwhile the Freshmen found out that another school year had passed. After vacation when they went back to school they weren’t Freshmen anymore but they were Sophomores. Being a Sophomore was just like being a Freshman, only different. A Sophomore thinks he knows so much more than a green, awkward Freshman, only he doesn’t. He just thinks he does. So our little boys and girls weren’t little any more; but they were grown-up Sophomores. Well, they had some other funny things to study. They bisected angles and dissected frogs; but bisecting an angle and dissecting a frog are just as different as eating toadstools and mushrooms. They were glad they had studied hard when they were little as their teacher had told them to. so they could go to high school. For if they had not gone to high school they wouldn’t have had that never-to-be-forgotten trip to Pittsburgh. On this trip they were conducted through the Museum and Zoo by Mr. McMillen and Miss Carson. Not one of the party was lost. Then there was that exciting time when Esther Shirley decided to end her school days and enter the stormy sea of Matrimony, and Gladys Dawson followed her example. Then school was out again and the boys and girls went home to play. No, they didn’t go home to play this summer, for they were M ♦♦ Page Ten 19 3 3 THE SALT SHAKER • ' grown up now, or they thought they were, so they spent some of their time working. They had to act grown-up for the next fall when they went back to high school as Juniors. Now Juniors are queer people. They know so much more than Sophomores and Freshmen; but they are afraid of the class above them, so they spend most of the year giving them parties and banquets, and planning pleasing events for them. They are sort of servants for the high and mighty fourth year folks. By this time the boys and girls had a number of teachers. There was Mr. Snyder who always thought an F was as good as an E, or at least it looked that way. Then there was Miss Ewing who always thought that that (x) we talked about was the most important thing in school. Then there was Mr. Frampton whose favorite expression seems to be, “All right! Haven’t you anything to do?” Then came Mr. Fisher with his favorite pastime of pounding the desk and shouting, “What’s going on back there?” Now comes Miss Morgan whom you can always depend upon to pass the glad news, “Come around at four o’clock for forty minutes.” And Miss Carson, who taught Music and thought the trilling of her Glee Clubs rivaled the birds in the trees. And lastly, the Principal, Mr. McMillen, who didn’t say much (unless right mad) but one look caused you to wilt. After the Junior Year was over, and vacation had come to an end, what do you think happened? No, the school building didn’t burn. No, they didn’t have any Christmas tree. Well, I’ll tell you what happened. When the Juniors went back to school again, they weren’t Freshmen, they weren’t Sophomores, they weren’t Juniors. They were SENIORS. They found out that Seniors were the highest and greatest class in school. And when they are Seniors, the faculty looks up to them just because they are Seniors. And the Juniors look up to them because they are Seniors. And the Sophomores and Freshmen are afraid of them because they are Seniors. Seniors get to do a lot of things. They get to go to banquets. They have class meetings, and you know if the faculty doesn’t get mad at them, they graduate. And so it happened after twelve longs years the little boys and girls of this story grew into Seniors. Only instead of the same little boys and girls who started to school together those who are Seniors are: Gladys Allenbaugh, Sarah Ameno, Ward Brown, Geneva Cash, Ruth Cochran, Janet Conn, George Cunkleman, Eva Dunn, Edwin Franklin, June Hilty, Myron Kiebler, Dannie McDivitt, Robert McKelvey, Gilbert Maguire, John Rupert, Donald Shirley, Mable Stine, Gilbraith Stitt, Mary Ellen Walters, James Wilson. Seniors are important people. At least these are important. Many are the honors and prizes they have earned. Just listen to a few: There’s John Rupert who holds the county record in the Javelin. Sarah Ameno, who took the highest honors in the Class of ’33. Gladys Allenbaugh, who won first prize of $5.00 in the Lion Club Essay Contest in ’32. Gilbraith Stitt, the noted tap-dancer. Gilbert Maguire, Janet Conn and Mary Ellen Walters who have a record of perfect attendance during their four years of high school. Robert McKelvey, who so ably directed the class through its Senior year, and won the Alumni prize for best grade in Mathematics for four years. Geneva Cash, who won the prize for being one of the two best spellers in high school. Janet Conn, who won first prizes in orations, readings and in debating. Gladys Allenbaugh, who took second honors for grades in her high school course. Myron Kiebler, the editor-in-chief of the school paper in the Senior year. And all you had to do was see the play “Windy Willows” to appreciate the acting ability of Ruth Cochran, Janet Conn, Myron Kiebler, Dannie McDivitt, Robert McKelvey, Gilbert Maguire, Gladys Allenbaugh and James Wilson. So you see, Sonny Boy. from this story you learn that SENIORS are a class in Saltsburg High School, and that they came to be after years of study and hard work. And some day, if you study, you, too, can be a Senior, and just like the Seniors of 1933, you will graduate and get a diploma.” Sonny Boy—Mother, I like that story. Some day I am going to be a Senior, too. Sonny Boy—Andy Weamer. Mother—Janet Conn. CLASS PROPHECY (Concluded from Page 9) I saw our old friend, Gilbraith Stitt, down at the Stanley the other night. He has become one of the best tap dancers in the business. Another person whose ambitions were fulfilled. Do you remember how he used to entertain at all the class parties with those fancy steps? —(Listens.) Say, if you want to hear something good, just tune in on the Sunoco Oil Program some night and listen to Ward Brown and Edwin Franklin. They have replaced the Two Black Crows. They are Amos and Andy, The Two Black Crows, and Lowell Thomas all rolled together. Make about $8,000 a week. Well, if you must go now, I’ll say good-bye. I could tell you plenty about other members of the class but I don’t want you to be late for your lecture. Give me a ring the next time you’re in town. 19 3 3 -THE SALT SHAKER- (ClaHfi 1®UI Gilbert Maguire, May 25, 1933 Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: We, the Senior Class of 1933, of Saltsburg High School, being of sound mind and reasonably good judgment, do hereby make, execute, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in the manner following, and do hereby, by this will, revoke any and all wills made by the members of said class heretofore, individually or collectively, including any and all promises, verbal or otherwise, which may in any manner conflict with statements contained in this document, including individual promises made without due deliberation or careful consideration. It is hereby decreed that any conflicting promises must be regarded as having not been made with due deliberation or careful consideration, and are thereby revoked in accordance with this last will and testament made and executed this 25th day of May, A. D., 1933, and the 157th year of the independence of the United States of America. To our immediate successors, the Juniors, we bequeath: First, after all expenses of graduation have been met, all bills that are properly authenticated, all borrowed paraphernalia returned to respective owners; the odds and ends remaining shall be given unrestrictedly to the Juniors, such things as unclaimed presents, honors, congratulations, and marriage proposals. Second, to the aforesaid Class of 1934, we likewise bequeath the devotion of the faculty which made the graduation of the present Senior Class possible. Third, to the Juniors we do hereby bequeath the loyalty of this class to our beloved high school with the understanding that this loyalty shall never be allowed to depart from the school but shall in subsequent years be passed on from Seniors to Juniors in order that the class loyalty to the school may never be lacking in this beloved institution which we, the members of the Class of 1933, will never forget no matter where the future years will take us. Fourth, to the Class of 1934, we also bequeath the intense school and class spirit so manifest in the Class of 1933. May you ever keep the school spirit first in your hearts no matter how good-looking the players on the opposing teams may be. Fifth, we the Senior Class, do hereby bequeath to the Junior Class all confiscated machinery and utensils belonging to the members of the Junior Class, said articles having been appropriated to the cause of abducting members of the Junior Class for the mutual benefit of both classes. This will make it possible for the new Seniors to have a bit of amusement without an overabundance of exertion. Sixth, the athletes of the Class of 1933 do hereby will and bequeath to the athletes of the Class of 1934 all the love and adoration bestowed by the Junior girls. Seventh, the good reputation and name of the Senior Class is left in good shape for the use of the Junior Class. We see that they are in need of a good reputation as they have none of their own. However, they are not to use it for the purpose of imposing upon the good nature of the teachers. Eighth, to Miss Ewing, our history teacher, we return unanswered the many difficult questions which she has propounded to us in the years w’hich have passed. We believe that these same questions can be used over and over again until they are worn to shreds, for surely they will never be answered. If we couldn't answer them, who can? Ninth, any harsh words or unkind expressions which we may have emitted to anyone during our sojourn here are to be buried with us so that their sting will be for us and not for those whom we have injured. Tenth, the echoes of our merry voices we leave to wander forever aimlessly along the walls. May they be an inspiration to underclassmen to achieve something approaching our great deeds, although they cannot hope to equal these. Our vacant chairs and desks we leave to be occupied by lesser students in the future. Eleventh, the Senior Class of 1933, does hereby bequeath to the Principal of Saltsburg High School all of the chewing gum, candy, rubber bands, yoyos, and jew’s harps wrongfully seized during our years in high school. Twelfth and lastly, to the Sophomores, the Class of 1933 does by this will bequeath all that the last two years have had in store: hard work, trouble with the Class of 1934, trouble with the teachers, a place in school parties and on athletic teams, and all other pleasures and duties not hereby mentioned in this will. We hereby appoint the Class of 1934 as sole executors of this our last will and testament and direct that the said executors be not required to give any bonds of matrimony or promises thereof, before it shall have finished the execution of this instrument. Should the class violate the trust placed upon it we herein decree that it shall surrender its rights and privileges of execution to the Saltsburg Board of Education. The above instrument of writing is given under the hand of the Board of Education at Saltsburg this 25th day of May, 1933, A. D., and the 157th year of the Independence of the United States of America. Signed ............................ President ........................Vice President ...........................

S. basketball season has come to a close and three more boys have played their last game for Saltsburg. Ralston Shupe has been playing for Saltsburg for several years, and doing a fine job of it. He has been elected to the All-County Team for two successive years, has captained the team this year, and was high score man for the team again. McCauley and Hilty are the other boys to leave this year. Hilty has played center for two years and McCauley was substitute guard this season. Ted Shupe was also elected to the All-County Team, as guard. Nick Sutyak and Cliff King received honorable mention. The team won 16 games to their opponents 3. This is one of the best records for several years. They scored 412 points to their opponents 330.—Don Campbell. WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL: Walker but no hiker. Batch but no batter. Campbell but no elephant. King but no prince. Bills but no money. Clark but no gum. Lake but no river. Parks but no playground. Waddle but no ducks. Blair but no bruin. Harr but no employment. Rose but no lily. Cash but no credit. Mood but no tense. Lemon but no orange. Newhouse but no tenant. David but no Jonathan. Cribbs but no cradle. LA SALTIANA The Senior class announces the publication of the La Saltiana, Saltsburg High School’s Year Book. The book will sell at one dollar per copy, which is a great reduction from the price of previous year books. To all those who subscribed for the Salt Shaker for all issues, the sum of fifteen cents will be accredited toward their subscription for the year book. The Senior class will need the support and cooperation of the entire school in making this book a success and in reducing the rates and offering the refund they believe they have made the price of the book low enough to enable its easy purchase. “Last evening, sir, I distinctly saw my daughter sitting in your lap. What explanation have you to make?” “I got here early, sir, before the others.” D. Steffey (entering restaurant): “Say waiter, did you see me coming in?” Waiter: “Yes, why?” D. Steffey: “Do you know who I am?” Waiter: “No.” D. Steffey: “Then how did you know it was me who came in?” Mr. Fisher: “Now, let’s have a sentence using the word beans.” C. King: “My brother likes lima beans.” T. Whitesell: “My father raises beans.” Bob Sumerson: “We are all human (beans).” • McCauley: “I see you are raising a football mustache.” C. Ames :“What do you mean?” McCauley: “Eleven on each side.” Lady: “I want to see some kid gloves for my eight-year-old daughter, please.” Polite Clerk: “Yes, madame. White kid?” Lady: “Sir!” Two Irishmen were excavating for a proposed building, when an interested spectator inquired: “How is it, Pat, although you and Mike started work together, he has a bigger pile of dirt than you have?” “Shure,” was the quick retort, “he’s diggin’ a bigger hole.” Little Girl: “Father, why don’t you grow some hair on your head?” Father: “Why doesn’t grass grow on a busy street ?” Little Girl: “Oh, I see, it can’t get up through the concrete.” — o - ■ MATH CLUB The Math Club met on March 14, 1934. Program committee was as follows: Chairman, Edwin Nelmes; Florence Johnson and Irene Johnson. The committee had a very interesting program in which we all took part. There was quite a discussion on “The World Without Mathematics” by Wilmer Cunningham. Our president selected three members to have charge of the program for the next meeting which will be the last for this term.—Martha Askins. ---------o------- It is always necessary for some brave photographer to stand at the receiving end of a camera and photograph the beaming faces of the various class members, when the year book is published. Someone was heard making this remark in reference to the cameraman, “He sure is taking a chance.” ---------o---- Jessie Akins is getting stout.___________________ HENRY HALL Compliments • [ =□= | 1 —of — Books and Stationery Office and School Supplies ♦ J Magazines Ed.

For Christmas a number of the members, including Miss Mary E. Carson, Jane Martin, Vivian Vensel, Valeria Brown and Dorothy Bills, motored to Indiana (in a car driven by Ward Brown) and visited the Orphanage. They were welcomed joyously by all the girls and boys, who happily received the toys, books and goodies which the visitors bestowed upon them. The girls left with much enthusiasm and are planning to visit the Orphanage again in the spring. The club also gave a couple baskets of food to two of the town’s neediest families, which brightened their Christmas somewhat. The Seniors sent their rings back to the Herff-Jones Company to be cleaned and hope to get them back looking as good as new. Sara!] Amena. CLUBS Biology Club met on January 4, 1933, for the first time in the new year. The role, as usual, was called by the Molecular Scribe.” It was suggested that the Biology Club get pins, and when this suggestion was put to a vote, it was found that the greater part of the club was in favor of them. After the business had been settled, the program committee took charge. Since it was the “Grand Molecule's” birthday, he was made to eat a chocolate pie. Seated at the desk with his hands tied behind him, he ate the pie. Our second Biology Club meeting of the new year took place on January 25, 1933. Betty Weamer, the “Molecular Scribe,” called the roll, after which Vernon Carnahan, the Grand Molecule,” asked if there was any business to be brought up. He also mentioned that the pins which we had discussed in the preceding meeting would cost more than we intended to pay. So we dropped the matter entirely. We tuned in on Station KDKA and listened to the committee’s entertainment, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The program concluded with a milk drinking contest. Nick Sutyak and Maybelle Bowser were chosen to participate. Each contestant was given a small bottle of milk with a nipple. The drinking was a slow affair and gave much amusement to the onlookers. After some labor, Nick Sutyak finally finished first and was awarded the prize of the two empty bottles and nipples for his own use. —Dick Snyder. ___ � i HONOR ROLL FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER First Honor Roll — No grade below 90 in any subject.

ATHLETICS Saltsburg started out the year’s record with quite a few losses, but in the last few games the team has shown a decided improvement. Most of the games lost were played away from home at places such as Blairsville, Clymer, Commodore and Salina. On January 13, Avonmore played at Saltsburg. It was an exciting game with the score a tie until the last 45 seconds of the game, when the Avonmore team shot a basket, making the final score 18-17 in favor of Avonmore. On January 20, Washington Township was defeated on our own floor by the score of 11-10. On January 23, the team played at Avonmore. The boys certainly showed their courage in defeating Avonmore 26-19. The students who were there did their part in cheering. Indeed, our students drowned out Avonmore’s cheers. On January 27, Saltsburg played Homer City on our own floor. Action was fast and furious and everyone was happy to see our boys defeat the visitors 23-14. With the loyal and willing aid of Coach Framp-ton the boys have quickly developed into able players. The team believes that much credit is due to its coach for the interest he has shown in spite of rather discouraging losses at first. Mr. McMillen and Mr. Fisher are to be thanked also for supplying the motive power of the team. S. H. S. is certainly proud of the cheer leaders. Without having had any former experience they have achieved great success. Sally and Eva have “pepped up” the team and have received many compliments for the methods used in rousing the audience. So, come on, everybody! Help our cheer leaders by straining your vocal chords at all future games. Until then, your Ath-Ed, Jim Wilson. SOPHOMORE REPORTERS VISIT THE ZOO We, the Sophomore reporters, entered the Highland Park Zoo, and to our amazement we were confronted with animals which closely resembled some of our classmates. The first cage contained a rare, laughing hyena which was crouched in the corner, shaking with silly laughter. We at once noticed that its actions and laugh reminded us of our dear friend, Feme Lowman. The next cage was full of little monkeys. The smallest one reminded us of Sam Waugaman as he swung from limb to limb. Among his playmates were others who closely resembled William Cantola, Wilfred Maguire and Stanley Medvesek. Traveling on we came to the bird cages. A series of “tap-tap-tap” attracted our attention. On a small tree were two red-headed woodpeckers tapping busily. As their red heads bobbed up and down we thought of Dorothy Bills and Helen Zaronek. “Scr—eech, scr—eech,” came the sound from the lonesome screech owl. Wbat did it take us back to? Oh, yes, of course, it brought us back to the sound which Edwin Nelmes produces on his violin. The chattering and sputtering of a brilliantly colored parrot made us think of Violet Fennel, who is always talking with or without permission. Far in one corner of the room was a huge pen which contained a rhinoceros. The loud moaning and groaning sounded somewhat like the tones of Ted Shupe’s saxophone. And so, after seeing many likenesses of our classmates we decided to get out of the Zoo before the keeper locked us up.—Dick Snyder, Valera Brown, Esther Mart. SCHOOL GOSSIP Did you know— That a certain Elders Ridge boy, Bob Ray, certainly made a hit with one of our dignified Seniors? That Ed Franklin goes to bed every night at 9 o’clock???? That all the girls like Ray McCauley’s hat, and what’s under it? That Mr. Fisher delights in teasing certain Sophomores about each other? That several wonder why Mr. Frampton brings his brother to school? That Edwin Nelmes always gives Martha Askins chewing gum? That Gladys Allenbaugh is always well-dressed? That Mr. Fisher likes the Seniors and the Seniors simply “love” him? That Sally and Eva are the newest sensation? That Cliff K. and Esther M. are “that way” about each other? That the Junior class boasts of a new romance— Vivian Vensel and Clare McCreary? That Mr. Frampton takes defeats extremely hard? That Raymond Rose is a regular customer in Detention Hall? That Bob Wilson has acquired a sudden liking for the country? That Geneva is the future Paderewski? That Miss Morgan seldom goes home over weekends now? That Valeria Brown doesn’t believe in holding hands? (She wants her’s held.)—Sally and Eva.
