It is our hope that you, the reader, will enjoy this year's Highlander. The very fitting theme of this book is Scott on Parade. After an absence of a few years, one needs only to walk through the building to notice our progress. Never before has so much improvement come in so short a time. In the language department are linguaphone records in both French and Spanish. These have proved to be valuable aids. The typing classes are now benefitted by rhythmical records for producing more efficient typists. This year also marks the beginning of our beautiful I-Iome Economics Department. It is perhaps the greatest pride and joy of Scott at this time. And we mustn't neglect to mention our new library, also in its first year. It is modern, attractive, and filled with many volumes on every subject desired. All these and many more are the additions and facilities one finds at Scott. And do not think that we shall stop our Parade of Progress, for we intend to continue our improvements as long as such is possible! Seal!

FRANK FOSTER MR. KENNETH LIGHTNER DR. JOSEPH LOVVERY Secretary NIR. WVILLIAM CASSIDY President MR. JOSEPH YURKO MR, KENNETH MCGREEVY MR. CHARLES MIHALY Vice Prcsidcnt January 7, 1949 Members of the Class of 1949: Fellow Students: We are a year away from the 20th century,s half way mark. Time cannot be measured solely by a calendar or a clock. There is much to show for almost 2000 years of civilization. Great cities have been built and scientific marvels have been dreamed. Down through the centuries men have fought and died so that all could live with dignity, but before a generation passes, we bury the objectives of their forti- tude. And so it will be-so long as barbarians in high places with blood and power as their passwords and misery as their weapon continue to try to rule the world. Students of this graduating class and other classes will need the courage, the vision and the sacrifice, to discover anew a decent way of living among nations. Our most potent possession is not a man-made explosive but the spirit of the Golden Rule. The Ten Commandments still live and an atomic explosion cannot wipe them our. What has all this to do with you, the fine graduates of Scott High School, North Braddock, in the year 1949? Just this much-the pioneering era has not ended. Great discoveries are still to be made. The greatest challenges will be found on the international frontiers. If the world seems dark today, and it does, we shall meet life better if we have fulfilled the present to the best of our ability. A I have read somewhere that St. Francis of Assisi, hoeing his garden, was asked what he would do, if he were suddenly to learn that he would die at sunset that day? He said, 'QI would finish hoeing my garden. This is the answer to all the troubled young people who are beginning life in a world that appears to hold no security for them or for anyone-young or old. Fellow students, even though the world is in deadly peril, we have not lost the promise of tomorrow. Today is still ours, along with the obligation to live it to the full! As St. Francis said, We must go on hoeing our garden. The Board of Education and the Faculty join me in wishing you well as you face these challenging days. We know that you will remember the Scott traditions and never quit. The heroic souls of all times have climbed the mountains of difficulty, disillusion, and sometimes despair, before they were able to view the plains of Paradise and Peace. Sincerely yours, F. Dewitt Zuerner, Superintendent 11 DR. GALE R. KIRSCI-INER D Principal Um Swweme QM! Said a Wayfarer to a humble peasant, 'QGive me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown, and the reply was, Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way. In this fast moving atomic age every step we take is a venture into the unknowng every morning the sun rises on a vastly changed world, what is new today, will be old tOmOrr0W. You, the graduating class of 1949, are facing a great challenge. You are living in an age as truly pioneer as that of the lVlayHower pilgrims. Each one of you will have your little niche to fill. There will be much to be done, new fields to conquer in all branches of science, art, and philosophy. But regardless of what inventions are made, what luxury he might be privileged to enjoy, what does it proht a man if he must live in the shadow of hatred, envy-yes, remorse! The most important prize in the world is Peace-Peace for the worldg Peace in our own souls. What a prophet-the peasant who spoke the truth of all ages-UGO out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way! 12 D L Instruction enlarges the power of the mind.

Sheet Metal Shop MR. KLISKEY MR. RUSKA WMWMM We, the Senior Class of 1949, wish to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude to our sponsors, Mr. George Ruslca and Mr. Joseph Kliskey, for their willingness in helping us to publish this, our third edition, of the HIGHLANDER. Their co-operation, patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm have greatly in- spired our confidence in their untiring effort and work. We are sure that the time they have given to this book was not spent in vain. The Senior Class, and all the students in Scott High School, are deeply grateful to our sponsors. And as we march on, each in his own way, the happy memories of working with these two gentlemen will always linger in our minds. l 4 1 SIllf.l.e1'1t PICULIYQS ilb0V? 3I'9 EIS follows: Viola Barbarino, Mona Neff, Lucille Patrick, Isabelle Diefenderfer, Janet Kupchak, Bernadette Ferguson, Florence Pavlakovic, Shirley Polite, Jack Hyland, John Nicholls, James Naughton, Jack Gillan, Frank Bolock, Caroline Pascuzzi, Lila Gilkey, Charles Mohan, Ellen Pekar, Harry Koval, Iris Pscher-er, Irene Dvorjak, Evelyn Reitz, Erda Mae Gottlieb, Betty lVIacFarland, Kitty Klavse, Peggy Torbich, Janet Korbel, Richard Anclraso, Irene Dutka, Ruth Kemerer. 2 ' at an-we 'ff fe Florence Paylakovic Jack Gillan Bernadette Ferguson Editor Business Managier Art Editor Time marches on and we are marching along wfth it. In the previous editions of the Scott Highlander students have cooperated with the sponsors and have worked hard. But each year we are trying to improve our book and we have tried to make this, the 1949 edition, the best yet. The entire staff from the proof readers and typists to the managers and editor have worked diligently and have aided one another with his work. The art editor and assistants along with their productions in the book have helped the business manager and assist- ants to boost their sales by creating appropriate posters to be displayed. The proof readers and typists spent much free time giving up study halls and time after school to assemble our book. The editor along with the untiring aid of our advisors tried to help everyone in every way possible. Finally, the staff has produced a book of which we, the Seniors, are proud and which we will treasure for the rest of our lives. 42 union nay We, the class of 1950, entered our school September, 1947 and have, since then, become an asset to it. We7ve advanced from bewildered Sophomores to active, school-spirited Juniors. Our key word is participation, for this is exactly what weive had in all extra-curricular activities of Scott High. Not many classes have excelled ours in representation on the football, baseball, and basketball teams. Another noteworthy feature is our scholastic ability, for wc have many classmates on the honor roll each six weeks. The Junior class is now looking forward to our social event of the year-the Junior Prom. It is the biggest and most eagerly anticipated evening in the year because it is formal and very different from our regular school parties. Two new modern rooms have been added to Scott High this year to aid us in many ways- the Library and Home Economics Room. In our Library are shelf upon shelf of books which contain information on every subject, and help us a great deal in our studies. Cur Home Econ- omics Room is supplied with all modern equipment which has helped tremendously with the teaching of cooking and sewing to future wives. Yes, things like our sports, our social events, and our modern equipped rooms have made us proud to belong to the widely-known Scott High School and even after we graduate from its halls next spring, we shall hold thoughts of it in our hearts. We wish the class of '49, our Seniors, the best of luck on the hard road ahead. They have been our inspiration and our guides. CHEMISTRY LAB.

SOPI-IOMORE HISTORY August 31, 1948 marked a glorious day in the lives of the sophomores who entered Scott High School. Slightly timid and mostly scared, we entered the halls of Scott High. We were attracted to the bulletin board where the names of our teachers and the numbers of our rooms had been posted. When the bell rang, we asked the upper classmen where the rooms assigned to us were. Following directions, many of us arrived in the gymnasium, Home Economics room, and boiler room. After much exploring in the halls we finally got to our correct rooms. The teach- ers started telling us the things we should and shouldnft do in Scott High. As the classes started, we received more lectures from the teachers who were going to have us in their classes. At lunchtime, we formed definite opinions of the students and teachers we sophomores were going to have throughout the year. After the afternoon classes, we went home knowing that our hardest task-the first day of high school-had been completed, and that there were only one hundred and seventy-nine more to go. During the first weeks of school, many of us sophomores went through the bitter, but fun laden initiations of the sororities and fraternities. Many of us joined the chorus, choir, band, orchestra, girl reserves, language clubs, and majorettes. We supplied many future stars in the athletic helds of football, basketball, and baseball. The sophomore class wishes for the Seniors who are graduating this year, a bright future in their life ahead. 46 COMMERCIAL ROOM Top Row+Raymcnd Popovic, Richard White, Ernest Lehner, Joseph Saksun, Max Tancraitor, Robert Thomas.

They have succeeded in making a department that in appearance and atmosphere closely resembles the home. It has been designed to give the students the experi- ence of studying and working together in a home-like environment. The Board of Education and Administration believe that it will help build sound personalities with a broader outlook on a more cooperative community life. The best available household equipment has been installed. The living area, kitchen, laun- dry, and clothing centers are all adequately equipped for the development of good living. A modern automatic laundry equipped for washing, drying and ironing clothes, a modern elec- trical sink, which eliminates the handling of food wastes and the drudgery of dishwashing, and the many electrical table appliances such as the coffee maker, toaster, and the waffle maker, are but a few of the many appliances which have been added. The modern electrical sewing machines, enables the girls to be familiar with that equip- ment when they plan to design and make theirown clothes. The modern electrical ranges, the gas ranges, and the refrigeration equipment all do their part in helping girls to really enjoy the fundamentals of cooking, so important to successful homemaking. It is a department that has been developed to impart true knowledge and guidance to tomor row's homemakers. 51 aolfufze Jfamemczkead of Nmenica 52 Science is organized knowledgef' Herbert Spencer Physics Laboratory-Mr. Rcnsko, Instructor U Chemistry Laboratory-Mr. Schaer, Instructor The man who makes the experiment deservedly claims the honor and the reward.

CHARLES GEISLER Director of Vocational Education ocalianal Jfdla Important to boys in North Braddock's industrial environment is the Vocational Department of our school system, which for years has followed a helpful pattern towards a better technical education. Every boy entering Junior High School is assigned, along with his regular course of study, a period of manual training of shop work which he takes once a week throughout the school term. This preliminary training continues until he completes his freshman year in high school. In three years, then, our student has had a half semester each of electric, sheet metal, machine and pattern shop under the guidance of competent instructors. This procedure is designed to give the beginner a general concept of fundamentals in shop work. Thus when the boy reaches his sophomore year, he is- in a good position to select what ever special shop course he wishes in the Vocational department. Now he is ready for advanced work of more detailed and intricate character. For him there are three hours of afternoon work at his machine and its relative problems, methods of laying out and planning, analyzing sheet metal procedure, acquiring knowledge in the use of modern special tools, experimenting with theories of electricity, and, last but not least, learn- ing to co-operate harmoniously with his fellow workers. For convenience, let us trace the work of a boy in electric shop. In his first year of train- ing, he is instructed on how to connect a simple electric circuit, make splices, and connect door- bells in various arrangements. Later on he studies rules and fundamentals on open wiring plus hx and conduit wiring. The second year he will be taught the electrical theories and be able to prove them through experiments. In his third year he will be given various jobs to do, such as repairing or rewinding mo- tors, etc. As a result of their vocational training, many boys have been able to qualify for special trade apprenticeship after leaving North Braddock's Vocational Training school, thus help- ing to create bigger and better industries for our nation. 57 'Technical education is the exaltation of manual labour, the bringing of manual labour up to the highest excellence of which it is susceptiblef' W.

Many people may ask, Just what is the Student Council? What do they do?H Well. the Student Council, in the first place, is the voice of the Students themselves, spoken through the representatives who are picked hy the students from each room.

Dancing, games, and refreshments are the features of the event. At the head of the Council is the Community President, a senior, who is elected by the entire school. This year our President is Charles Mohan. l-le has done a very fine job in the office. That's what a Student Council is, and we think ours is doing very well in representing the Students in matters that sometimes prove very important. 62 A.. ,,.,,,'g'h ,.

This small circle was formed to promote additional interest in the French people, their coun- try, and language. A small red, white, and blue pin, a likeness of the French tricolor flag is worn by each member. Members have sent a number of gift boxes to less fortunate friends in Toulouse, France. Other activities include programs of special interest, song fests, and parties held at Christmas and the famous Mardi Gras season. La Douzaineis able sponsor and leader is Miss Ruth Gardill, whose time and interest have made the club possible. Officers this past year have been: President . , , , , . ,. ,, . . ...., .......... .. , . Prim Diefenderder Vice President .,.., ...,.. C hristine Polite Secretary-Treasurer .,.. ...........

The purpose of this club is to promote a greater interest in our South American neighbors. At present the club has a membership of forty-six who, this past year, have enjoyed many activities. Among these activities has been the Christmas Party in which the members had a pinata typical of all Mexican fiestasg chili con carne was served to all, the program ending with singing of Spanish Christmas songs. The members are now planning a Spring Party. Singing of popular songs in Spanish as well as typical Spanish songs forms a large part of the clubls pro- grams. Often talks on customs and habits of our Spanish-speaking neighbors appear on the program, too. 64 LATIN DRAMATIC CLUB Top Row: Richard Hayes, Jane McClure, Nancy Pelz, Albert Roderus, john Kolano.

Each girl in the club has a Secret Scotty Pal to whom she sends a card on special occasionsg the Scotty Pals are revealed at the end of the year. At Christmas the Girl Reserves make up Christmas stockings to send to children in various hospitals and favors to put on the trays at the veterans hospital.

A The various duties that these girls perform include: taking dictation, tran- scribing letters, typing orders, sorting mail, answering the telephone,l typing stencils and transcripts, operating the mimeograph, and running errands. They also act as usherettes during National Education Week, the Senior Play, and other activities that occur after school hours. This is a great help to the girls who will be the future stenographers, typists, and receptionists of the business world. 67 anim Naam One of the most memorable events of 1948 was the Junior Prom. This glorious occasion took place at the Edgewood Country Club. On the outdoor balffony could be seen the dancing couples-the boys with their bow ties and the girls in gowns of blue, yellow, green, and pink, mingling together to form a giant rainbow. This beautiful rainbow was keeping time to the rhythmic music of Ben Boden and his orchestra. At the end of the evening many couples found the pot of gold-filled with happiness. fi 7 eng .'

Ame of Q' Qaida The class of 1949 will produce, on April 22, Anne of Green Gablesf, In this play is seen the most lovable heroine the world of fiction has ever known. Green Gables is the home of lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister, Marilla Cuthbert. Marilla has never been known to thaw out. Nobody suspects that beneath her hard exterior there lurks a soft and tender heart. When Matthew, after a great deal of reflection, finally decides to adopt an orphan boy to help with his farm work, Marilla grudgingly consents. Through a rattlebrained friend of theirs, one Nancy Spencer, they agree to take a boy from The Hopeton Orphanage. Marilla makes ready to receive the boy and Matthew drives to the station to get him. Fancy his consternation when he finds little Anne Shirley waiting for him! There has been a mistake and Anne has been sent to Green Gables in lieu of the boy whom the Cuthberts plan to adopt. There is nothing else to do but to take Anne home and let her stay, at least over night. Marilla determines to send Anne back to the orphanage the following day. But Anne cries and begs and pleads so hard to remain that even Marilla, ujust to please Matthew, of course, finally gives in and consents. Time and circumstances prove that Anne has been a gift from God sent to bless Green Gables. The cast is as follows: Florence Remsen, superintendent of Hopeton Orphanage, Erda Mae Gottlieb, Minnie Stearn, matron of Hopeton Orphanage, Charla Suderg Anne Shirley, the lovable orphan, Bernadette Fergusong Mrs. Alexander Spencer, the woman who arranges for the adoption, Caroline Pascuzzig Marilla Cuthbert, the mistress of Green Gables, Lucille Patrick, Mrs. Mildred Barry, a cultured neighbor, Geraldine Preloskyg Mrs. Rachel Lynde, who knows everybodyis business, Iris Pschererg Matthew Cuthbert, the amiable bachelor, Thomas Hayes, Josie Pye, the tattle-tale, Viola Barbarinog Gilbert Blythe, Anne's wealthy schoolmate, Richard Andraso, Diana Barry, Anne's best friend, Charlotte Osterholmg Moody Spurgeion, so sad he was never known to smile, Walter Williams, Mrs. Allan, the minister,s wife, Evelyn Reitzg Ira Mills, who liked Marilla in days of long ago, Richard Duris. 69 TI-IE I-IIGI-ILANDERS October 6--First lyceum program of the year.

The library originally began with about 671 books and 17 magazines. The number of books has now grown to 20 sets of reference books, 1204 non-fiction books, and 52 magazines. Among the magazines there are Life, Look, Times, and Seventeen. The library has over 500 volumes of fiction which includes the old favorites as well as the current best sellers. The pupils are able to make use of the library through the aid of the card catalogue, the Reader's Guide, the vertical file, and Wilsonls catalogue. The re- modeling of the library has been a great asset to its appearance. The new tables and chairs, inlaid flooring, and the modern fluorescent lighting have also added to the attraction of the library. Vfe all take great pride in the library and we truly hope that it will continue to progress. 73 ORCHESTRA PIANO--Constance Weston, Erda Gottlieb. FLUTE-William Rozanec.

First there was the spectacular exhibitions by the band as an added sidelight to our football games. Along with the majorettes, the sixty piece aggregation gave various displays on Baby Face , Stair- way to the Stars , and the Umbrella,,. At night session, with our parents, we listened contentedly to the Chorus singing Good- Night, Good-Night, Belovedl' and the sprightly pieces in the band concert. And too, we loved singing for the Rotary Club, who showed so much enthusiasm and courtesy toward our program. We seniors shall never forget the long, arduous operetta rehearsals under the capable tute- lage of Professor Woinelsdorf,-nor the fun we sometimes had. Everyone felt that glow of achievement through their nervousness on opening night. U The Community Singing-a pause for refreshmentg the Chapel Programs secured through the co-operation of our Principal and Superintendent. These luxuries were all a part of every day school life. Perhaps we are not fully conscious of the part music plays in our school life. It prompts our enthusiasm at the games, it soothes our weary minds after long morning studies, it adds sol- emnity to our Christmas and Commencement services. Wie sincerely hope that our fellow students have enjoyed the humble effects of our music department as much as we have enjoyed working toward that purpose. 74 Without music, life would be a mistake.

The boys were fighting all the way and though they were outmanned by almost every team they played, they still managed to win four games, lose the same number, and tie one. Incidently three of their four defeats easily could have been turned into victories if the breaks would have been with them rather than against them. The team reached its peak and played its best game of the year when a highly favored Duquesne Team just edged out a victory by the narrow margin of 6-0. The best game for the Scott raiders, however, was their 46-18 victory over their rivals from Braddock. There are 12 letter men graduating this year, but there are others to step into their shoes, and we see Coach Reed coming up with a pretty fair team next year. 81 Rudy Ce1igOi,TaCk1e Jack Hyland-Quarterback Don MacMillan-Halfback I Charles Mohan-End John Nicholls-Fullback Russell Smith-End Replaying First Half Laffy Kuzinsfflenter Edward Doran-Center Richard Ragan-Half back Worried Look Tom Hayes-Tackle A First Down Enthusiasm Before Turtle Creek Game Cheering Them On Scott-Turtle Creek Game 85 CHEER LEADERS ,lanct Kcrlzel.
