Aw-as 4411 1' 'WA f Univ tw-Q ! If 1 W x ' i f C' L if if 2,60 WE LEARN TO LIVE The new look, the atom bomb, the cold War-these were events that took place while the Class of 1950 pursued its high school career. We were part of the era of super iet planes and Mule Train. Report cards and the coal and steel strikes were concurrent worries. The girls wore their hair brushed smooth and turned to baby sitting. The boys learned to Huckle Buck. Pitts- burgh planned to landscape the Point and to build and build. Washington planned a more powerful hydrogen bomb and hunted out spies. Through all this hustle and bustle, We prepared to live. Through classes and clubs, the faculty guided us. We were given practical lessons in the fundamentals of gracious living. Girls learned to cook, to serve, and to launder clothes. We all learned how to get the best for our money in merchandise and in entertainment. The Commercial Department turned out well trained secre- taries. The shop courses prepared boys for manual occupations. Other classes and clubs offered experiences in professional fields. ln theory and in practice, we have been prepared for citizenship by elec- tion procedures, student government, open forums, and co-operation with municipal officers in Pa Pitt projects like traffic counts and clean-up drives. Since all work and no play is bad for us, we were encouraged to have fun. Amateur dramatics and student music organizations were popular. Par- ticipation in sports Was encouraged. The arts-modeling and sketching, reading and dancing, had their devotees. ln Schenley there is something for everyone.
