The Scottie isljust that. Scottdale High School certainly has full snappy days of fun andwork. It was the purpose of the Staff to take alive one of those days and hold it captive between the covers of this book, thus creating a precious souvenir for seniors to be cherished always as a remembrance of school friends and school days. What goes on here in a school day has been portrayed in a fairly complete and accurate manner by the candid camera. Ours have not been the happy carefree school days of previous fortunate classes. Many of our classmates are in the armed services, already at grips with the grim realities of war. Draft deferments until graduation, uncertainties of the future, enforced separations of families and friends, have cast shadows across our last years in school. , Graduating in a topsy-turvy world, this group of seniors may Well wondercwhat lies ahead. May the lessons learned here in school help us not only at-o-.dom our share in preserving the American Way of Life but also in buildiiigpa.. better tomorrow of world friendship and lasting peace. 3 Q l5l XHQMXUN ADB ITH deepest respect and admiration We dedicate this 1944 Annual to Mr. Moon. Although he was only with us a short time before leaving for the Navy, he leaves behind a record of achievement. Mr. Moon received his B. S. degree in Industrial Arts from State Teachers College, California, Pennsylvania. He came to Scottdale High School in 1942 as Industrial Arts Teacher. He also sponsored the Scottdale High School Honor Society and Was co-sponsor of the Scottie 1943 and 1944.

At this early hour the only people found stirring there are those We can't get along Without, the teachers. They do their part by being in their classrooms each morning without fail. Then, after one last glance in the mirror, one last glimpse at the day's lesson plan, they are ready for the entrance of the quiz kids. Then come the vexations and trials, but at last the bell rings at 12:06 and there is a grand rush for food. The bell summons again at 1:20. The followers of Aristotle trudge up the hill ready again to present the Whys and Wherefores of everything from the simple equa- tion in algebra to the strange conduct of that villain, Macbeth. Classes are iinally over for the day. By all the hub- bub in the halls, no one could doubt that. But the 3:50 bell does not mark the end of the teachers' day. A play practice, a staff meeting, or an assembly rehearsal must be supervised. A teacher must be in charge of detention hall to see that students doing time don't leave too soon. The additional tasks, however, are finally completed, and at last the teachers are more than willing to call it a day. l9l CLINTON M. RUF F THE SCHOOL BOARD Left to Right: Dr. J. R. Silvisg Albert R.

Mr. Eicher served as president of the Board in 1941. Margaret D. Storb Martha P. McCracken E101 MR. PUFF SAYS: It has often been said that nothing is sure in the world except death and taxes, but there is something else that must also be included as a certainty of life. That is change. No person, thing, or condition stands still, and it was an omniscient Providence who planned it so. We may not welcome a change when it comes, but we must realize that it is only through change that progress is achieved. You members of the class of 1944 are soon to face a very definite change. For all you, leaving high school will mean the end of a chapter in your lives and the beginning of a new one. It will mean the change from dependency to independency. You will soon be filling a man's place or a woman's place in the world. You will be entering upon the duties and responsibilities of adulthood. How are you facing this change? Let no one assume that the world owes him a living, but let each one determine to make the most of the opportunities afforded him in life. The best wishes of the officers and teachers of your school go with all of you as you take your places in the world. May all your worthy endeavors prosper, and may you find satisfaction in your achievements. MR, BYERS SAYSg Your graduation on May 12 marks the completion of your first step in your preparation for a useful and worthwhile life. You step into an entirely new world environ- ment, a World engulfed in total war. Many of you will enter the service of your country with the express purpose of helping to maintain the freedom that you have been privileged to enjoy. It will fall to your lot as well as to millions of others to help stamp out for all time the enemies of a free people. In whatever capa- city you serve, give your full support to the winning of the war and to the speeding of the peace so that our men and women in service may come back to even better futures than they had be- fore. To accomplish this task it will take the best you have, noth- ing else will do. E. M. Byers lr E Mary Nicklow .Q llll Q I 5 , 4- N H5 ,- AS . A 'ZR W.

The freshmen were typical begin- ners. In spite of that fact they led the parade in many ways. This will be an outstanding class it is predicted. A sophomore knows not and knows that he knows not. The shy and eager freshmen of last year have deve- loped into the self-confident and do-as-we-please sopho- mores of this year. More at home, more active in the af- fairs ofthe school, the typical sophomore is nobody's fool. A junior knows and knows not that he knows. Juniors are at the half-way point of the high-school jour- ney. They have the advantage of the backward glance as they stride forward through the last half of their high school course. These juniors were no exception. Those who were wise did just that. A senior knows and knows that he knows. Proud that they have weathered the four-year journey on the road to knowledge, another class of seniors await with eagerness the day when they will be given the awards which indicates its completion.

We've been living for this year ever since We start- ed our high school career as freshmen. In a jiffy we were in our stride. We had hopes of running this school in a way never attempted before. Class officers were elected, the athletic field was taken over by the football team, the band and choral clubs rehearsedg clubs met and things got started generally. There were headaches too: physics, solid, English Scrapbooks, that 1500-word theme, typing technique, permits, excuses, detention. 'fLook pretty for the birdie, said Chet. Then we gat our pictures and began trading them along with name cards, class rings, and assignments! What are you going to wear to the Christmas hop? What time are you going? . Who are you going with? I wonder if the ice is frozen at Briercheck's? Let's go to O'Hara's and get a hamburgf' These were a few of the remarks made by students while waiting for the old year to usher in the new. Leap Year and two girls for every boy as more and more senior boys left for the armed services. We missed you all. Johnny on the Spot , Linder the capable direc- tion of Miss Laughrey, was in tune with the times and set the town to talking. Then, baccalaureate, tears, commencement, more tears and the class of ,44 was graduated. So it's goodbye, Scottdale High, we'll never forget you! 17 L18 'Umm BARBARA AIKIN - - General- - Scotties Revue . . . DOROTHY ASSEY - - Commercial . . .

Left To Right Dan Casini, Lois Echard Jean Connors, Bill Mears E261 If you heard loud complaints about chemistry notebooks and English scrapbooks, it was probably juniors broadcasting their woes. They thought they were dreadfully overworked this year. Now as they look back, they realize they weren't so imposed upon after all. There were no nervous breakdowns, anyway. During the first months of school, the class, realizing the increased responsibilities ahead, ser- iously and carefully selected their executives: Dan Casini, presidentg William Mears, vice presidentg Jean Connors, secretaryg and Lois Echard, trea- surer. It was a memorable day for juniors when they received their class rings. Appreciation of them was doubled because the terrible possibility had been suggested that they would not be available because of the metal and labor shortages caused by the war. These rings got around, too. Be Yourself was the title of the class play presented in February. There were the usual broken hearts after tryouts were held and the cast announced. Activities of a social nature frequently pre- vented these carefree juniors from having assign- ments completed on time, being primed for tests, or even being ready for the day's oral quizzing. But one is a junior only once in a lifetime. The prom for the seniors was the last event scheduled in the ofiicial junior calendar and it was the usual gay occasion. With genuine regret the juniors realize that this memorable and happy year has closed, but they are all looking forward anxiously to the day when they will be hailed as the Class of '45, l27l Top- M.

It must be admitted that it was quite a shock, after being the upperclassmen over at the Chestnut Street Grade Building, to come over to the high school and be rated as underclass- men again. They took it in their stride, however, and soon they were on their way under the leader- ship of a group of live-Wire officersl president, Harold Morris, vice president, Joe Fagang secre- tary, Betty Mehallickg treasurer, Melvin Hernley. Because of the age level of this group, the manpower shortage was not a serious handicap to their social life. Making the most of this advant- age, many social events were planned and carried out successfully, the most enjoyable of which was an all-school dance, sponsored by the high school newcomers shortly after the Christmas holidays. Sophomore girls were well-represented in the new athletic organization, the High Light Club, while the Science Club elected all sophomores as its oflicers. This class also made its presence known in the gridiron and hardwood sports, twelve of the boys going out for football, with nine sticking it out to the end of the season. Three members of the basketball Varsity team were sophomores. One-third of the membership of the Choral Club consisted of sophomores, adding volume and variety to the excellent programs presented this year. At risk of appearing over-boastful, the sopho- mores also point out that three of the cheerleaders were members of their class. With a beginning like that the sophomores feel sorry that the seniors will be forced to part company with them this year. They say Watch our dust. CRE 31 TOP- B. Mehallick, J. Reese, D. Miller. M.

OPHOMORE Left To Right Mal Barasch, Lois Nicklow Pete Badini i341 Time was when freshmen were the underdogs at the high school, but no more. Timid and green are no longer appropriate adjectives to describe this class. Since freshmen remain in Chestnut Street Grade Building for the first year of their high school work, they enjoy the privilege of be- ing considered the uppev-clfissmen by the seventh and eighth-graders, and in a measure that com- pensates for the disappointment felt so keenly at first of not reporting to the high school. The Class of '48 is a very social-minded group. The dull daily routine of school life was broken frequently by parties which were well- attended and happy affairs. English classes organized clubs under the direction of Miss Miner and Miss Fleming. The club meetings were always welcomed because of the interesting literary programs which were pre- sented. Excellent practice in parliamentary pro- cedure and in making oral presentations was aiorded by these clubs. Athletic activities claimed the attention of many boys in the class as is evidenced by the number of freshmen boys shown in the pictures of athletic activities in this book. The Junior Choral Group was composed of twenty freshmen, and, in addition to presenting its own programs, assisted the Senior Choral Group in the presentation of the Christmas canta- ta, adding much to its effectiveness.

Just how is one young student supposed to crowd into one short day all the activities he wants to take part in? It's a mad rush from morning till night with barely more than a look-in on the family at mealtimes until he is on his way again. And yet extracurricular activities under the guidance and sponsorship of the school do play an important role in the lives of many students. In the music organizations talents are discovered and developed. Hi-Y's are charace ter builders. Student publications develop business sense and responsibility. It is impossible to show on the following pages of this section of the Scottie the fun, the friendships, the social arts acquired by membership in these activities. High school students who take advantage of the op' portunity to participate in activities give themselves the benefit of a good preparation for adult responsibilities and worthy community membership. l41l First , , , , , , . , t V Srrnith, Sturtz, Fausolcl, Zerilla, March, Templeton Boyer Dick George Ware Burke Hazen' Third Ro ' C tRow:- Hixon, Van Horn, Marhefka, Clairmonte Bair Reynolds Kozal Hines Thayer Dunlevy' Second Row:- y 1 3 : v 1 1 W-'1 OHTIOYE Conway, Horton, Shupe, Spisso, Dickson, Percy, Harr, Decker, Casini, Hough, Collinsg Fourth Rowz- Myal, Poor. baugh, McClain, Weaver, Davis, George,Merritt,Knight, Muller, Rollinsong Fifth Rowr- Sim-on, Loetzbeier, Zaffy Morris, Gear, Boyles, Vinzanni, Tarasan, Claybrook, Bradley, Zerilla, Eiberharter, Shirer.

Versatility and variety keynoted the season's formations perfected by hours of grilling practice and patient supervision for the entertainment of the spectators between halves of the football battles. The name of a favorite American general, Ike, was formed to the strains of Over There. The Halloween season was properly celeilorated by a huge pumpkin formation with the appropriate Shin On H t M H e arves toon adidiing much to its effectiveness. Another hit was the formation of the outline of the state of Pennsylvania as the fband played the state song Pennsylvania, The ten members of the band who graduated this year were: Ted Vinzanni, Glorya Sturtz, Louise Templeton, Marjorie Dick, Kathryn Boyer, John Tarasan, Jackie George, Alice Fausold, Albert Shirer, and Jim Weaver. i THE MASCOTS Lead on, MacDuff! Sounds like Shakespeare, but really it's merely the signal 'given by diminutive kiltie .., clad Joyce Porter to the little coal - black Scottie who with Joyce led off the Scottie band at the football games. Frolicking do-wn the field in the vanguard they were 'delightful mascots of the organization. The first season for both Joyce and Mac, they were slightly nervous on the occasion of their first 'ap- pearance, ibut they :became accustomed to the clamor, the band music, and the applause. By the end of the season, they were veterans. Joyce is the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs Gene Porter of Parker Avenue. Mr. Russell Graft is Mac- Duftf's master. i CHORAL CLUB I44 was presented at the Methodist Church in a beautiful setting of palms d dl an can elight. The Choral Club also helped students to acquire the real old-fashioned Christmas spirit by their carol-singing at the Christ- mas assembly held the day before vacation started. I know not what course others may takeg but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! The theme of the cantata Free Men For- ever was patriotic and the program which was presented i M h , n arc to the Monday Music Club, was enjoyed by all. By this time the club oiiicers, Jim Weaver and Don Hough, president and vi 'd ' ' ' ' ' ce presl ent respectively, decided lt was high time to have some social goings-on. The dance which followed was perfect in every respect! And so another chapter in the history of the Choral Club has closed, a chapter which will be a challenge to the ' ' ' l Q Q fx Do-re-mi!

Z 4 mdu X P TUDENT COUNCIL Okay, the meeting will please come to order,' shouts President Dick Wood as the Student Council convenes at its usual time and place. The secretary-treasurer, Tillie Seese, reads the minutes of the previous meeting, while the vice-president, Virgil Casini, sits by and looks wise. ' The governing body of Scottdale High started its year by organizing home-rooms and sponsoring the election of home-room presidents. These new prexies were added to the roll of Student Council members. H Deciding that the students of Scottdale High had been working very hard, the Council decided to reward them. The question presented was: I-Iow? After some inquiry, it was discovered that the scholars C?J really enjoyed assembly programs. That was the answer- more and better assemb.lies. Student Council started the ball rolling by preparing and presenting an assembly program. Then a calendar was prepared on which school organizations were given dates on which they were to prepare assembly programs. The result was all those amusing and novel assembly programs. In the years actix ities the Council succeeded in the realization of its major objectives among which are the organization of extra-curricular activities, and unifying 'init 39 . that the best interests of the school are promoted. j gc The students of Scottdale High School may well take pri.de in the leadership of this group which has func- T I tioned so successfully in their behalf tl1is year.

ALPHA BETA ALICE FAUSOLD. The gavel falls! Alice Fausold, president, is calling Alphas to order: the official Tri-Hi-Y year has begun. Through their efforts to earn money by holding candy sales, the Whole school gained a little weight. 3 During the football season, a party was held for the team featur- ,,g5QffQ?.f5,ji'i . ing Vargo Girls--.S.H.S. I ' fWlf'4i7,fi,' On several occasions Alphas, dressed in their :Sunday ibest, at- - tended different churches in town and found an inspiring service at each one. I V The Christmas tree in the lower hall, the special delight of the he W1 seniors, was trimmed by this group, not 'by Santa Claus, as was whispered around the school. Bowling and roller-skating parties as well -as hikes and hamiburg fries provided recreation to the taste of all memibers' whether the preference in sports was inidoor or outdoor. Two events of major importance to these club members were the joint meeting with the Hi-Y and the dinner honorin-g the basketball players. Both were second semister affairs, the basketball dinner dated so that it would come at the wind-up of t e season. Alpha leaders were Alice Fausold, presidentg Jackie Hartman, vice presidentg Pat I-Iernley, secretaryg and Mary Van Ormer, treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Dick, Mrs. Maloy and Mrs. McCracken. The mother sponsor was Mrs. Van Ormer, ,HW GLORYA STURTZ. A rush, then a hush, and the first meeting of the Beta Tri-Hi-Y was underway as President Glorya Sturtz ' started an action-packed year rolling. This energetic group hiked to Lake Forest just to eat their .. supper one fall evening. Still more food appeared in their club life when they entertained the football squad at a Blue and White Dinner. Theater and bowling parties were sprinkled frequently enough 1, to satisrfy the most movie-conscious and athletically-minded of their membership throughout the year. The versatile members of this group also took part in the assembly sponsored by the Hi-Y's, adding greatly to the enjoyment of the student audience. Talent scouts had discovered in Beta the two leading feminine jittgrfbugs of the school. Spring house-cleaning was contagious, spreading to the Y when the Betas decided to redecorate their club-room carrying out a color scheme of peach and green. Naturally there had to be a celebration when this project was completed. The Hi-Y boys were the invited guests. The mothers had a well-earned night off when they attended the Mother- Daughter Dinner in the spring, the event which rounded out the activities for the year. Officers assisting Glorya in the leadership of the club were the vice-presidents, Tillie Seese and Meredith Wareg Rosella Clairmonte, secretaryg and Ruth Rhodes, treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Adams, Mrs. Schrecengost, and Mrs. Clairmonte. p BETTY CLAYBROOK, Taffy pulls, song-fests, Hal1owe'en parties for the boy friends, on the frivolous sideg Red Cross pro- jects, book reviews, Bible study, on the serious side. These activi- ties added up to a year's program, ideally balanced for Gamma girls. ' 6 . Candle light lent solemnity to formal initiation. Club members , were the guests of Miss Oma Stoner at a covered dish supper ' on which occasion Mrs. A. L. Porter reviewed the life of George Washington Carver summarizing the contribution made to his race aswell as to humanity. Other high lights of the year were the Mother and Daughter dinner and the formal dance, both annual affairs. n Whether it was making patchwork quilts for the Red Cross, attending church in a group, or celebrating the birthdays of our great Americans, Gamma girls had a good time in their weekly Thursday meetings. Officers were: Betty Claybrook, presidentg Cora McNair, secretaryg Ottie Kerksey, treasurer. , Sponsors were: Mrs. Louise Sales Claybrook, Mrs. Cora McNair and Miss Ida Hickernell. IQ47l RICHARD CAMPBELL. Hold it! Jusvt try to hold the boys from wildly taking the stairs, three steps at a time, creating such a commotion that the whole Y fairly rocks on its foundations. They are on their -way to a Hi-Y meeting. These meetings are worth rushing to because this club does things. wr The new members added in October received a riotous informal initiation and the traditional formal one. 9 Do you remember how you thrilled at the adventures of Hoosier Sch-oolboy '? It was this club and no other which sponsored the showing of this film in combination with an exciting sports reel. 'Christmas Eve found the members gathered in the re-decorated! club room, congratulating each other on their artistic skill. Many dances' were held by the group 'but three of them were out of this world : The Sadie Hawkins Dance was all the Dogfpatch 'folks could hope forg the latest in male attire was modeled fby the boys at the Joe College Dance, last but not least was the Moonlight Cocktail Dance, which was as romantic as the name suggests. The leaders of this active group were: Richard Campbell, 'presidentg Jim Barr, vice presidentg Jerry Merritt, treasurerg and Mal Barash assistant treasur- er. Mr. Hixson, Mr. Crago, Mr. English and Mr. Ludy were the sponsors for the year. i l m H I - . - UNIOR RED CROSS. Why doesnlt someone faint or something? That was just one of the remarks made by members of the Junior Red Cross. See, they were taking a first aid course and 'wanted to make use of that precious knowledge. ':'i T QNX, These members not only know how to administer artificial respiration, but also how to collect money. During the annual ' Junior Red Cross Roll Call in November, the sum of 310.53 was I collected. The required fee was .sent to national headquarters, L? and the remainder stayed in the local money bag for further work. Busy as little bees, the members were active in serving community welfare organizations, acting as messengers in 'BW' various drives, helping in salvage collections, 'providing poster service for the Red Cross activities. In addition, they helped in the town canvas for blood 'donors and made articles for members of the armed services and iwounded men in hospit- als, which have contributed to their comfort and cheer. Officers during the year were: president, Joanne Owwensg vice-president, Rose Ross, secretary, Anna Jane Meadeg treasurer, Mona Ruth Horn. Miss Sherrick was the faculty sponsor. CIENCE CLUB. Shall We change the name of the club?', No, it started as Science Club so Science Club let it be! ttWe'll have to make some drastic changes in the club Wi- QW'-I constitution. With problems like these confronting Science , iw, Clufb officers, they started a busy and imiportant yearys work. Dues: were sent to national headquarters, thereby affiliating the local group with the Science Clwbs of America. Those little 'plants fascinate me. Me, too. Madam Pres- ident, I make a motion we study bacteriolomgy for a club pro- m ject. Miss Dorothy Sharkey, a lalboratory technician, started us off lby talking to us on the different egeneraltypes of bacteria. Bacteria culture was secured and started growing. By observing and studying, many interesting facts iwere added to our meager knowledge of bacteriology. .Individual scientific interests were also followed and reports on them were pre- sented at the meetings. Clulb officers were: president, Shirley Parkerg vice president, Rose Rossg secretary- treasurer, Janet Cutrell. JUNIOR RED CROSS SCIENCE CLUB IGH LIGHT CLUB,'tWhy can't we girls take part in athletics? Why can't we have our own basketball team? This year the girls decided to take things into their own hands and solve their problems. After permission was granted to them to organize, a little notice was 'placed on the 'bulletin board, asking all girls interested in joininig such an organization to report to Room 16. The re- sponse was overwhelming! That first meeting lasted only forty-five minutes, 'but in that short time the High Light Clwb was organized, and the means of furnishing this group of girls an outlet for excess energy was provided. Tuesday was chosen as the meeting day. Promptly at five o'clock the girls came tramping into the YH loadewd with bathing suits, tennis shoes, and various other items of sports equipment. The first few meetings were devoted to mastering t-he basic principles of basketball. Very few of the girls knew much about it to begin with, but practice made perfect and some fairly good players were developed. Basketball was not the least of their achievewments. Swimming fnot drowningj Was another of their favorite sports. Also, after watching Howard Hill, the champion archer, perform, they decided to take a stab at it themselves. Confidentially, t'hey're still trying. The High Light Club, the infant organization of the school, Va is in its early stages, ibut it has a bright future, its members predict. ' it It offers 'boundless opportunities for the high school girls for gi , healthful exercise and for the development of the spirit of co- 'J 7 ,53 operation and good sportsmanship. My 'a mi The officers Were: Gloria Bair, Presidentg Marjorie Lipps, vice presidentg Mary Van Ormer, sfecretaryg Rosella Clainmont, trea- ' surerg Miss Laughrey, school sponisorg and Mrs. J. C. George, mother sponsor. l50l THE MONITORS CLUB Hey you! Keep in linel' i'Sorry, but you'll have to pick up that paper. In this way members of the Monitors Clulb remind students of their duties as good citizens in the Chestnut Street 'Pkg Building. For two years- members of this club have had the S W responsibility of patrolling the halls, set apart from the other fl 5 students by the arm bands with the letters MON, Is that constitutional? Remember every student has his rights '-.X and we can't violate his rightsif' N-o, it wasn't a Congressman of the United States talking! It was a member of the Monitors Club. Q They do things in a businesslike and lawful way. This is the vip second year that the organization has had 'a constitution, and it is observed to the very letter. On September 30, the first meeting of the school year was held at which time the Monitors, after deep and serious thought selected their officers. These officials were: president, Don Millerg vice-president, Bob Ornerg and secretary, Lois Tallentire. The organization this year included twenty-six members, each representin fifteen students. Six of these memlbers were from seventh gradeg seven from eighth gradeg the remaining thirteen from ninth. They were chosen by the votes of their homeroom. Miss Kilpela and Mrs. Hahn were the sponsors. This serious-minded onganization wasted no time in presenting their aims. Before 10115, 1O0Ster.s were designed and presented to the home rooms. 'Ilwo aims of the club were sketched on each poster. The first two were: Do you keep your lines orderly? Do you loiter at the cement steps? Each new aim was painted a different color in order to make the posters more striking. This club functions in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade groups in the same way that the Student Council does in the high school. The members work earnestly to accomplish its purpose and their experience will be good preparation for Student Council work when they come to the school across the street. E511 VARSITY CLUB EY, Kenny, whatis the latest on our sweaters? That question indicates CC the thought which was in the minds of every me-mber of the Varsity Club especially after the close of the football season. But in the same manner in which they charged toward victory in the gridiron season, the Blue and White warriors tackled this man-sized problem of financing sweaters for junior and senior lettermen in football and basketball. A huddle was formed from which they emerged confident and bursting with ideas. With a never-say-die- spirit the lettermen 'went from door to door collecting newspapers and magazines. They sold their wares to the government and thus began their sweater fund. You're not too old. You have a perfect build for basketball! This was a favorite argument used on hesitating faculty members when our 'gridiron and hardwood heroes persuaded the male faculty members to oppose them in a benefit 'bwasketlball game. Incidentally, the faculty won! But the substantial increase in the sweater fund was more than enough to console the boyvs for their defeat. Girls, get away from those front fwindowsl' What cruelty, to deny the high school femmes the thrill of seeing their favorite footlball heroes stridiing proudly' along wearing their new blue and white sweaters. Yes, the amount of money needed was at last raised: in fact, more than enowgh. In addition to the sweaters which were ordered for both junior and senior letter- men, small souvenir basketballs' and footballs were bought also Y for the seniors. Now they are in the proud possession of the boys who in every sense of the word have earned the right to f' wear them. Ma. 'Senior lettermen were: Long, Mehallick, Soiwinski, Gent, G Q Raishart, Woods, Spisso, Kiliany, Tfarasan, Reynolds and Zucco. 1 Letters were earned by the juniors: Kriger, Nawrocki, Robbins, L Mears, Somerfield, Uber, Randolph, and Clawbrook. Officers of the club were Kenny Lon-g, presidentg Bob Ran- dolph, vice-presidentg Bill Mears, treasurerg Bernie Mehallick, I secretary. Mr. Gross was the club sponsor. - E521 SCCTTIES REVUE 1 ,,:,, K, JACKIE GEORGE. The Staff of the Scotties Revue had Elr, fQ.f,ZQg-gn.. a challenge to meet this year in the fact that the Staff of W3 had Wwiii...:'p.i'-fig, produced a student publication which had been awarded the 'ti' First Class Honor Rating, the highest award given to a high school paper by the National Scholastic Press Association. ,.gifQQ5 The members of the staff have tried to meet that 'challenge 41:13.11 and produce a paper which would be as good as or better than H it last year's honor-winner, but publishing a nelwsxpaper in war times is a problem which each year becomes more difficult be- cause of shortages in materials. The greatest :disappointment of the year came at Christmas when the special holiday issue appeared, not in its festive book quality dress de- corated with red and green ink as Staff editors had planned, but in the 'cheapest rag of newslprint found in the printshop. Other issues of the Revues made up for the holiday letdown. Pictures of student groups, sports and activity columns featuring up-to-the-minute accounts of games and the social doings of the high school gadabouts, a department conducted by Miss Fortune for the lovelorn, the Wallop Poll, all of these were features which made each number of the Scotties Revue a sellout. Mrs. Maloy was the teacher supervisor of the school publication. Staff members were divided into two groups, editorial and business. Jackie George was editor- in-chief with Lucile Gault and Janet Cutrell as associate editors, Marjorie Ann Dick and Elaine Murphy, features editorsg Patricia Horn and Rosella Clairmfont, news editors, George Holland and Bill Eicher, sqports editorsg and Laura Corkran and Dorothy Lane, exchange editors. Richard Campbell was the business manager, His assistants were Don Bradley, publicity managerg Mary Lowry Byrne, Joe Conway, Jackie Hartman, and Joan Alexander, advertising managers. E531 THE SCGTTIE V Say, Senior, what are those juniors doing on the Scottie 3 ,bv L gfiijfl Staff? Isn't the Scottie a senior book? These were the questions .vQ.Q1,'g' Ki ' Q-gff:'5QQ, asked when the Scottie Staff was posted. ,J ,Y The plan of including juniors on the Scottie Staff was new ' this year. The idea, however, had been tested and 'proved on the :Hz-3j,g,,t, ' Scottie Revue Staff. The advantage of the plan, of course, is to acquaint the juniors with the task which will be their full re- ,,., sponsibility the following year. Very few of the students, who value their co-pies of the Scottie so highly, appreciate the amount of hard work that its 'production makes for staff rneimlbers. The task requires printshop knolw-h-ow, artistic ability, drafting, literary skill, salesnnanship and 'business sense. The success of the book depends on the degree in which these abilities are pos- sessed by staff merrrbers, as well as how well they cooperate. This year the Staff was divided into three groups each with its own teacher advisor: Mr. Moon supervised the editing of the '44 yearbook, Miss Loucks, the literar 'k' i ' ' y wor , and Mr. Stimimel the business management. Each staff groupts particular problems and contributions to the success of the enterprise as well as its corps of student helpers are given on the following pages. The Scottie Staff has tried to make the Scottie of '44 one which will ,be a happy reminder to every senior of his school days in S. H. S. i THE LITERARYGROUP Any one coming into Room 2 the first period of al-most any day in January or February would have thought from the furroweid brovws, deep concentration, mad scribbling and furious erasing of those present that Miss Loucks was teaching a class in advanced English composi- tion. Actually it was the literary group of the Scottie Staff inspired by the earnest resolution: Better write-ups this year than ever before. If club organizations would only elect sec- retaries who could write accounts of the year's activities without their having to :be rewritten! Three hundred words in this write-up? Oh. dear! I have only one hundred words, and I can't think of another thing to say. These were just a few of the headaches of this group. Miss Loucks was the teacher advisor of this Staff section made up of the seniors Marjorie Ann Dick, Michaella Byrne, Carolyn Eicher, Ruth Rogers, Patricia Horn and their junior as- sistants Janet Fox, Betty Swink, Peggy Show- man, and Lois Echard. The patient and 'painstaking typists who so cheerfully deiciphered and put in reaidialble form the manuscripts were Evelyn Riley, Doris Ulery, Dorothalea Wissinger, L-ouise Templeton, Mid Long, and Angeline DeRose. i541 THE EDITORIAL GROUP THE BUSINESS GROUP The editorial group has been busy since the beginning of school. Remember the day y-ou didnit have your assignment done and you were just sure you were going to be called on next? A certain senior girl dashed in just in the nick of time to announce the taking of pictures of the Hi-Y, or was it the Choral Club? , The click of the camera was only the beginning of the responsibility of this group. After the pictures were developed, they were mailed to the engravers tif they didn't have to be retakenb. The form and arrangement and color scheme of the book had to be decided upon, page layouts sketched, space for write-ups and pictures allotted, a cover design selected. No group worked more tirelessly to make this year's Scottie out- standing than this one. Mr. Moon was the teacher supervisor of this group of students including Marjorie Bosworth, Laura Corkran, Lucile Gault, Chuck Carlson, Phyllis Byars, and Pat Hernley. To this group was entrusted the important task of financing the Scottie. It was a heavy responsibility but the memxbers. of this committee came through with flying colors. The elimination of advertisements and the substitution of names of sponsors was the most drastic change in their part of the Scottie make-up. Business men were very cooperative and accepted the change in plan reafdily and cheerfully. The selling of the 'Scottie was also this Staff group's work. The sales organization was well-planned and functioned efficiently. Each home-ro-om was assigned a Scottie salesman and he had the job of getting subscribers' names on the dotted line, down-payments, and final installments. Mr. Stimmel was the faculty advisor of this Staff division which included Sally- ann Rowe, Doris Overholt, Marjorie Ann Lipps, Jacqueline George, Lloyd Uber, Don Gelosh, Ed Pisula and Dan Casini. The home room captains: were: Kathryn Boyer, Jean Kensick, Leah Early, Tillie Sease, Peggy Showman, Margaret MeCrory, Virgil Caslini, Phyllis Stoner, Richard Clelland, Leo Mears, Frances Zaffina, Milford Schroyer, Robert Hernley, Joseph Chiaramonte, Ralph Ghrist, Ruth March, Virginia O'Laughlin, Eleanor Radzilowski, Mary Ann Kostelnock, James Eicher, and Phyllis Danca. ,,,i i he SENIOR CLASS cc S OHNNY O THE POT A ship's cook a conquering hero? Not a chance for medial- winninig with a job like that! And yet the whole town turned out to welcome Johnny home with brass wband, bronze plaques, pretty girls, 'n everything. Complications and more complications! A hat shop on the verge of bankruptcy, a poor old woman with seven children, the composer of a popular song inspired by a handsome navy hero, and of course the beautiful young radio singer, Sherry, with whom our bewildered hero found himself head over heels in love. Johnny was a forthright boy and he came out with the truth in the final pulse stirring act. He was not a hero. Preparing chow three times a day for the Navy didn't give him time for heroics. Grandma thrilled the audience, when she charged to Johnny's defense with: They're all heroes, everyone of the boys like Johnny who leave their jobs, their homes, their sweethearts to answer their country's call. And with that made Clear, everything was clear between Johnny and Sherry, too. The appreciation expressed by the audience, made it also clear that this play was just right for these times. The seniors say Thanks to Miss Laughrey for her excellent direction of their play. E561 T Q iff he IU IOR CLASS E YOURSELF The lights are dimmed. A breathless hush falls over the audience. The curtain slowly parts and reveals--of all thinlgs! --an empty stage. Thus opened the presentation 'by the junior class of Wilbur Brauns' sparkling comedy Be Yourself . Qi Q Did I say empty stage? As a New York :penthouse apartment, it was soon peopled by the strangest assortment of human beings one could possibly find on any one spot of the earth. There was of that impossible creature, Mrs. Ballard, with her delightfully yay incorrigiible daughter Beulah whose silly giggle drove everyone W franticg the widow, Mrs. Hendricks, babbling constantly of her 7-gfgifi'-xxx-, W' ' 11 if ,.

Male cast memlbercs included princes and Princes, the bellhop, Sherlock Holmes, Jr., and Buzzring Louie who went madly insane when he heard the tinkle of a bell. Rats that shouted Slave Me , disappearing photographs, guppies', missing bodies, and princes with monocles! They added up to a play that the class of '45 was proud to sponsor. The characters in their Various roles showed excellent training by Mr. Dunmire, who supervised the presentation of the play. A IQ57 HE most recently organized student activity, one of which the school is very proud, is the Scottdale High School Honor Society. The announcement at the school assembly February 18, of its formation was a complete surprise to the majority of students. The program which followed included the formal installation of the Honor Society, -with an explanation of the basic principles upon which it was founded and the naming of the -officers. the charter members, and the students selected for membership. Early in the term a few students had conferred with Mr. Byers on organizing a chapter of the National Honor Society. It was found that because of limitations in local school facilities, Scottdale was not eligible for membership. However the decision was made to form a local society. A committee of students working with Mr. Byers and Mr. Moon, the latter the Society sponsor, wrote a constitution and by-laws, decided that the official name of the onganization should be the Scottdale High School Honor Society, and the membership should be limited to uipperclassmen. An emblem embodying the ideas of these students was designed by Chuck Carlson, and it was decided that small keys cast from this emblem would be the insignia worn by Honor Society members. The S.H.S.H.,S. is founded on the four basic principles of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Anyone who ' is in the upper third of his class and has met the necessary requirements set forth in the constitution is eligible for election to the Society. A committee of four faculty mem- bers select the members basing their choice on the relative X I degrees to which the students under c-onsideration measure M up to the four basic principles. The students who promoted X , I the organization of the Honor Society became the charter I members. twig 04927519 In their speeches at the Honor Society assembly, Super- K- intendent Puff and Principal Byers expressed b-oth student and faculty opinion that the organization will be a tre- niendgui asset to the school in pliacinig the proper emphasis on sc 0 arshiip and character in addition to leadership and ' service. The charter members of the ,Society look forfward to the I time when Scottdale will become eligible for admission t-o gi. the National Honor Society, having fulfilled the require- 3 ments of school gymnasium, auditorium and library which T. are necessary' for membership, A l53l THE CHARTER MEMBERS Kenny Long, presidentg Marjorie Bosworth, Vice president, Bill Mears, secretaryg Dan Casini, treasurerg Glorya Sturtz, Chuck Carlson.

VARSITY Q .4 The number of rejections for Army service because of physical defects has called attention to the physical edu- cation program of the nation's schools. Secretary of War Stimson has said that a good physical condition cannot be developed by the Army in a short space of time, and that this should be the Work of the schools. In line With the War Department recommendations that physical education for all students should supple- ment an interscholastic sports program, and that more boys should participate in competitive athletics, Scottdale administrators have added physical education to the cur- riculum this year and encouraged Coach Gross to develop an intramural program including many sports. Although the latter will not take the place of varsity sports, their value to every boy in school instead of to a few can be seen. Scottdale has never had as all-inclusive a sports pro- gram With so many taking active part as this year. How- ever, not until a gymnasium can be built on the school premises and facilities provided for physical education for all students, will Scottdale be able to assume her re- sponsibility for the physical fitness of her youth. lQ61l E2 ELMER LMER GR0SS'S first year at Scottdale has been a successful one. A graduate of Slippery Rock State Teacher's College, he coached for a year at Hopewell Township and at South Huntingdon Township. In addition to his coaching duties here, he has had the important task of developing a physical education program. He has encountered the usual difficulty of a new coach in readjusting th b . . . . . e oys to his methods of training, but he has won their confidence d an respect. They hope to have him for their mentor for many seasons to come. O1-IN I-IOLLIDAY, our mathematics teacher and instructor in pre-iiight aeronautics, was appointed the assistant football coach this year. He played the position of guard on both his high school and college football teams. Gained from experience, his extensive knowledge of all line play tricks of the game made him a valuable helper to Mr. Gross in the training of the linemen. His success was evident in the fine performance of the boys he worked with. ENNETLH LONG was captain of the Blue and ' White's gridiron club this season. Versatile, cool-headed, driving himself to the limit and expecting no less from his men, Kenny was a three-season veteran. Tipping the scales at 170 pounds, he was a hard tackl er, a commendable blocker and no mean speed- sterg in short he was the all-around type of player everycoach likes to have on his team. He utilized his experience to the utmost and skippered his t earn through 'the 43 season in a highly creditable manner. H Eiapitain Long received honorable mention as a back e p ayer in the annual selections made by the West- mo l d ' ' re an County Coaches Association of the Class fi all-Westmoreland County team. E621 I ' GROSS JOHN HOLLIDAY QQTBALL, Coached by Elmer Gross and John Holliday and captained by Kenny Long, the Scotties launched a pigskin season with a squad of fighters . including nine veterans. Rugged was the word for those practice sessions, but they produced results. Captain Kenny Long and Dan Aliosio led the Scottdale offense, which included an assortment of plays brilliantly and deceptively executed. Special recognition should also be given to Bernard Mehallick, who was named as right guard in the All-County Class A football eleven, for his relifalble lblocking which made those touchidowns possibleg to Eddie Kriger for his beautiful work in blocking puntsg and to Nawrocki, Somerfield, Robabins, Mears and Gracyk who in their various positions played good ball consistently 'throughout the entire season. The games looked forward to with keenest anticipation, of course, were the Connellsville, and Mt. Pleasant tangles. The Scottdale field was the scene of the battle with the Cokers and although the Scotties iplayed excellent ball, the injury of Captain Long and several other key men in the last half stacked the odds against them and a 34-6 defeat was rung up. Local grid fans will not soon forget the sensational ball played in the- closing minutes of the game with Mt. Pleasant, as well as in the game with East Huntingdon. The South Hunthmgdon battle had a special interest this year when Coach Gross sent his charges against the representatives of his former teaching site. It was a case of two Gross-coached teams tanigling, and it was a hard-fought game with neither side scoring. The Blue and White Warrfors closed the gridiron season with four victories, four defeats, and two scoreless ties. The senior players who shed their jerseys for the last time were Long.

EDUCATIQN HYSICAL EDUCATION was included in the curriculum for seventh, eighth, and ninth grades' this year. Since there is no school gymnasium, ar- rangements were made for the use of the Y.M.C.A. floor for these classes. Miss Barkell supervised the girlsg Mr. Gross, the boys. Although the students presented themselves in some very oddly-assorted gym ensembles fthe war can be blamed for thisj, they were right there when it came to snaplpy setting-up exercises, and stiff competition in relay battles. Swimming, basketball, and volleyball supplemented the girls' physical education program. Mr. Gross as a full-time instructor in physical education and sports planned a program which would get as large ia number of boys as possible to take part in the more active sports, at the same time limiting competition to boys of nearly the sarrne age-levels. ' At the conclusion of the football season, boys in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades who had no previous exsperience in football were given instruction and practice by senior varsity players. Then a round robin elimination series followed in which ninth graders carried off the honors. Basketball tournaments followed footballg volleyball was also popular. For those who could not take part in the more active games, table tennis, and 'ping pong were avlailalble. The little fellows enjoyed tumbling, and some fancy swimmers were developed in the Y pool. The spring conditioning program included baseball and mushball, and track work and tennis. Mr. Gross and Miss Barkell have made a very good beginning in this work. If continued, the objective of 'physical fitness for all youth of Scottdale will be rea IZE . :W i J 'Q M' f 53 - M 7 x Q I K Q 4 ,. .

FOOTBALL Although they played only two games, the Jay Vee gridders chalked up both as victories. The first game was played in Connellsville where they achieved a 6 to 0 victory over a fighting Connellsville team. Hernley went for the only touchdown in the game. It was a beautiful end run with perfect blocking. Thiswas the first time that a Scottdale football team has beaten a Connellsville grid eleven in nine years, even though it was Junior Varsity. The second and last game was played in a sea of mud on the home ground with D b C, un ar as the opponent. Sowinski went for a 57-yard touchdown run, but it was called back on account of oifsides. Hernley again made the only touchdown on a sensational reverse, but missed the extra point. The score was Scottdale 6 - Dunbar 0 The starting lineup was made up ofl Ray Kiliany, left end, Don Miller, left tackle, Earl Ghent, left guard, C. L. Uber, center, Ed Pisula, right guard, Ed Tise, right tackle, Joe Waller, right end, Joe Sowinski, quarterback, Melvin Hernley, left halfback, Bob Orner, right half- b ek' ' ' ac , and Dick Koval, fullback.

S. will be stiff competition for any school for some years to come. The scrappy young team made up of boys from 7-8-9 grades and coached by Pat Ross, a former S. H. S. player, had the preliminary game before each Varsity game and got lots of applause from the ans. Their most promising players were Vincent Sorace and Harry Me- hallick. Sorace, a forward, showed up as a sensational player around the pivot while Mehallick, a guard, was a fine defensive as well as an offensive player. On the Junior Varsity squad were Vincent Sorace, Harry Gula, Dick Koval, Harry Mehallick, Joe Shallenberger, Bill Claybrook, Pete Bad- ini, George Echard, Jack Zozula, Bill Harris, Winston Dunlevy, Walter Jeffries, Anthony Sabbers, John Zerilla, Bill Koval, Richard Hudson, Carlton Hughes.

Al- though the baby pictures are old, the idea is new. Who could make a class prophesy during these uncertain times even if he wanted to? Instead of the traditional crystal gazing and mournful senior bequests, pictures have been used in this section to show what makes up the students' day. There was always the morning rush to get to school before that fateful bell rang. The first period study hall certainly was appreciated. One could finish his nightfs rest lulled by the choral club and band. Of course, the best part of school was writing notes and catching up on the latest news, finding out who had a date with Whom. Some people even liked their classes, too. How the smell of food from the cooking room tor- mented hungry stomachs toward noon. Also, some wonderfully horrible smells were brewed in that chemis- try lab. The long-awaited last bell rang and teachers and students alike, heaved sighs of relief. It was the end of another school day. Let's go get a coke! E731 E', ,M k piigigg .nv X V wx-15, we wg .Ex N. aka FE 7 Q fl ,.,,:??5fE'SE:5: -- fig, i .. 8 ,,,, , ..J,1,1,,x: ,..,,.
