Whitesell, Vice-President THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS We are of the opinion that these men do not receive full consideration for the services which they have so unselfishly rendered; therefore, in behalf of the student body, we offer our appreciation. The board has been one of the most vital factors in the construction and completion of the new building. It was through the tireless efforts of these men, who gave their time and energy without recompense, that this long-hoped-for dream has come to pass. Through four years he has turned A sympathetic ear to all our woes; Never will we forget Mac , though Far from Salteburg each one goes. Under the guidance of this competent supervisor we have completed our high school course. The Saltsburg High School owes much to Mr. McMillen's initiative and unselfish interest in the school and the community as evidenced by his efforts for the new building and the athletic field as well as other community enterprises. Always helpful and ever keenly interested in the work of each individual, he has earned our gratitude and warm regard. l.L FACULTY Gladys Clauss Home Economics Juniata College, B.S. Bland tyg, Pa.

February 4. 1957. MAKING GOOD While your SALTSHAKER editor was in search of material for this special Alumni Number, someone mentioned that there were quite a number of the Class of ’37 working for a well-known newspaper in New York. I went to the office of the paper and learned the report was well-founded. I went first to the printing department and was introduced to the chief printer—Emmett Waddle. Mr. Waddle's initial position in printing was helping to type the SALTSHAKER in 1937. As I proceeded through the building I saw three ladies in conversation in one room. Upon inquiry I learned that one was Alice Stockber-ger, noted movie and opera critic. She, too, works in that large institution. The other blonde was Miss Elizabeth Gosnell who told me she had just interviewed the Honorable Melvin Martin, the junior Senator from Pennsylvania, who was sailing that day for a brief rest in Europe. Then Miss Gosnell hurried off to write a poetical satire on the President and Congress------ Betty began to write poetry back in S.H.S. She left me in charge of the third conversationalist —her secretary, Miss Edith Moffie. Miss Moffie has twice won the beautiful cup awarded to the most efficient typist in that great publishing office. The class of '37 seems to be doing very well. LATEST UNION PRESS NEWS BULLETINS Two interesting dispatches cane over the Union Press wires a few minutes ago. The first stated that Mr. Hail Clark had been made General Manager of the Wrigley Company. Mr. Clark's interest in chewing gran was undoubtedly cultivated at Saltsburg High School. (By the way, the attractive advertisements of that same company are drawn by Joe Sudick, whose artistic ability was greatly developed by his work on the SALTSHAKER and LA 5ALTIANNA in 37.) The other dispatches brought . the news that Mr. John Waitko, interpreter for the League of Nations at Genova, was sailing for home on one of the zeppelins of the German line, and that the History of the 50 United States by Miss Maude L. Ewing, is a best-3eller. GLEANED FROM CURRENT PERIODICALS The February issue of The Woman's Digest contained articles of interest to all Saltsburgers. If you are interested in some phase of ettiquette,Miss Alyce Grassell, who is considered the best authority on social conduct, will be glad to answer your queries on her page. The latest fashions are described by the Digest's Paris correspondent, Miss Louise Bair, The French Louise learned in High School seems to have helped her to a very fine position. Another monthly publication has photographs showing what the well-dressed woman will wear this season. Many of the costumes were modeled by Miss Charlotte King, who is ranked as one of the loveliest. On another page we see the newest coiffures designed by Miss Florence Tuzi whose hair-dressing skill has helped countless socialites as well as her former classmates in Saltsburg High. One of the most attractive advertisements was that of the Taylor Department Stores, Inc., owned and managed by Miss Clayre Taylor. The beautiful coloring of the advertisements brought out distinctly the charm and beauty of the dresses. HERE AND THERE Miss Louise Mood who recently made an important discovery (too technical to be described here) spent a few hours in Saltsburg on Wednesday. Mrs. T. Jones-Williams, prominent Pittsburgh society woman, is building a new country home near Saltsburg. Mrs. Jones-Williams was the former Miss Taressa WHteseL. Mr. John Tagliati, a prosperous farmer of Westmoreland County, has been elected as a delegate to represent Pennsylvania farmers at the National Farm show in Iowa. Mr. James Bills has the high position of Track and Field Coach at one of the Pittsburgh High Schools. He will take up his new duties in the near future. Mr. Donald Swauger, in an interview with one of our reporters, said that in his opinion business conditions will soon be a great deal better. The demands in the Swauger Theatres has been showing a steady increase. THE EDITOR'S OPINION Saltsburg High School is proud of all graduating classes and is justly proud of the success that the members of the Class of '37 have won. Although small in number they made up for it with their achievements.

M.E.Gk JUNIOR CLASS HISTOHI Our history as Juniors in the work and play of S.H.S. may be appropriately described as a glorious train ride. Our travels on the Saltsburg Special have taken us through the towns of Freshman and Sophomore. Finally, we arrived at Junior City. Some of the most glorious and unforgettable moments of our lives were spent in our new surroundings. At a trinket shop we acquired our beautiful class rings. Here, also, we held our most gala activity of the year----- The Junior-Senior Prom. All aboard! comes the cry for the metropolis of Seniorton, and to greater victories which will see us through in a blaze of glory.

S. Freshman felt rather proud, for were we not S.H.S. students? But, alas I we were soon to learn that in the eyes of the other crews, Freshmen are but the scum of the seven seas. However, our crew lived through that ordeal, finally settling do?m to the regular duties under Captain Helen Serene, Admiral McMillen, and others. Even at that first stop, members of the S.S. Freshman showed their ability—in music, athletics, and otherwise. Then came June. We weighed anchor, not to return again until September, 1936. Y ith several faces missing and a few new ones present, wo did return, but as full-fledged Sophomores and to a new building with new courses and added facilities. We have been well represented in various activities: in music—the S.H.S. Orchestra, Indiana County Orchestra, Indiana County Chorus, recitals, and amateur programs; in athletics—boys' basketball, track, and girls' basketball in which six of the eight girls on the first team were Sophs; in clubs and organizations—Biology Club, Tri-Hi-Y, and the Athletic Association; in public Speaking-Forensic League; in home economics and commercial courses. Under Captain Koch, we are completing another successful stop at S.H.S. with thirty-five in our crew. Y e are only Sophomores, but we are sailing towards and expect to arrive at those final ports—success and happiness.____________ M. DeM.

We are a class of fifty-two members who assembled together on Sept. 21, 1936, as the first Freshman class in the new school building. If we are not successful, wo are greatly at fault, for we can take advantage of the errors of classes gone before and also make great use of the new courses offered us by the enlarged school system. 8.H.S. and P.S.

FOOTBALL With the organizing of an Athletic Association last Fall, football was introduced to Saltsburg High School's athletic program. An entirely light and inexperienced squad was drilled for tv:o weeks on fundamentals by Coach Simpson and then sent into action against the strong Pitcairn eleven. The boys made a creditable showing considering the decided disadvantages they were forced to face. Avonmore, Apollo, and again Avonmore were then met on successive week-ends, and although the local boys wore unable to chalk up a single victory, they gave evidence of being very troublesome to opponents in the near future. Too much cannot be expected next fall because of the heavy losses due to graduation this spring, however, with the experience and fundamental knowledge acquired this past season, the 1937 aggregation should be capable of bettering by far the indifferent record of 1936. Bolivar,Homer City, Elders Ridge, and Blairsville have been added to the schedule for 1937, thus making an eight game card. Following art the past season's results: S.H.S. 0 Pitcairn 40 S.H.S. 6 Avonmore 52 S.H.S. 0 Apollo 61 BASKETBALL Faced with the task of uncovering three new men and then building a floor machine to withstand the rigors of a long and difficult schedule, Coach Simpson surprised local followers by presenting an aggregation that went far beyond the highest hopes of the most optimistic. With only two regulars, Smith and Swauger, returning from the previous year, Simpson miraculously produced the two best defensive guards in the county,a capable forward mate for the veteran Smith, and two valuable substitutes. Winning sixteen and losing nine, Punxsutawney, Indiana, Blairsville, and Homer City being included in the victory column, speaks a most commendable record. Only Elders Ridge was troublesome, as they proved to be the stumbling block to the county league title and the. county tourney cup. Whether Simpson can find the material to offset the tremendous losses of this year remains to be seen but don't be startled if Saltsburg comes through with another winning outfit. Waitko, Guard John was one of the hardest workers. His influence was of great help. steadying J. Bills, Guard A fine defensive star. It was always a treat to watch Jim block an opponent's shot. H. Bills, Forward This diminutive star struggled hard to gain a starting assignment, and when he did, he couldn't be dislodged. Kelly A dependable substitute at guard or forwurd. be one of Saltsburg's big guns next year. He will Clark An all-around player is Clark; his height bringing him into the center position often. Because of his good defensive playing he was frequently placed at the position of guard. BASKETBALL SCORES S.H.S.

The girls had somewhat of an unauspicious season largely because of their utter lack of experience and playing knowledge. Coach Serene selected a group made from largely Freshmen and Sophomores in an attempt to build a team for future years, and from this season's indications, she should have a powerful outfit before many seasons have passed. Following the few games played the squad continued practicing in order to pick up the most valuable fundamentals. A more extensive schedule is to be arranged for the 1937-38 season. Following are the past season's results: S.H.S. 5 Avonmore 26 S.H.S. 2 Avonmore 22 S.H.S. 3 Elders Ridge 34 S.H.S. 6 Elders Ridge 41 S.H.S. 9 Bolivar 20 S.H.S. 6 Bolivar 34 TRACK Notwithstanding the loss of all but two track and field men from the 1936 squad, this year's team managed to give a good account of itself in four different meets. A quadrangular meet between Avonmore, Cherry Tree, Blairs-ville and Saltsburg found the latter placing second with 25 points. A week later the Saltsburgers topped Avonmore, 59 to 46-i, in a dual meet. On the 15th of May the annual Indiana County Track and Field Meet was staged at Saltsburg with the home town boys finishing in a tie for the second position with Cherry Tree. The following Saturday the six lettermen, J. Bills, Swauger, Baker, H. Bills, Divincenzo, and Getty, entered the district meet but managed to bring back only five points by reason of J. Bills' third in the hundred and fourth in the broad jump. Following are the lettermen and the events in which they were entered: J. Bills-----100 yard dash, broad jump, mile relay. Swauger-------high jump, discus throw, mile relay. Baker---------mile rim, half mile run, 880 yard relay. H. Bills---—120 yard low hurdles, 220 yard dash, 440 yard relay. Getty---------440 yard run, mile relay. Divincenzo 440 yard run, mile relay. a TRI-HI-Y This year the Tri-Hi-Y has been more active than it has been for some time. It boasts an enrollment of forty-two members through whose co-operation various activities have been carried out. On February twentieth a silver tea for the girls' mothers was held in the Home Economics room. Following this a Clear Speech Campaign was carried on throughout the High School. To secure money to send girls to the summer camp at Laurelville, the organization held a bake sale. We think this has been a very successful year throughout and our hopes and ambitions for next year's club are of the very highest.

The title was submitted by Lois Martin. Every two weeks, a chosen committee presented a program, coached by Betty McCuuley. The programs consisted of skits, poems, songs, and question bees. An additional activity of the year was A Round the World Trip, which was thoroughly • enjoyed by all the members.

Field trips provided even greater interest in the study of plants and animals. Aside from assisting at the Annual Egg Hunt, the club members took an active port in tree planting at the Athletic Field on Arbor Day. In years to come this will be a new reminder of this unit's activities. The club undertook to carry on the work sponsored by the Saltsburg Lions Club of destroying the prevalent insect pest, the tent caterpillar, by waging an active campaign of eradicating these pests and their tents.

Koch OB ■iflHi SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class of the Saltsburg High School presented the three act comedy entitled Youth Comes Tripping as the annual class play. All agree it was a great success from both the financial and entertainment standpoints. This was the first play given in our new auditorium by any high school group, and because of this, we believe the play will be long remembered. To Miss Morgan, who so ably directed and coached the cast, we say, Thank you for your co-operation. The cast was as follows: Joseph Sudick........Dr. Skinner John Waitko..........Mr. Kane James Bills..........Mr. Bryson Louise Mood..........Mrs. Skinner Edith Moffie.........Betty Kane Clayre Taylor........Lillian Paget Emmett Waddle........Speed Temple Hail Clark...........Bobby Dunn John Tagliati........Constable Our orchestra was not started this year until April. However, despite the limited amount of practice, we made our debut at the Senior Class Play. Through this year' s endeavors, our view of the future of our musical organization seems exceedingly promising.
