C5355 ENE ENS C3313 GNL5 SEWIHI QM? C1545 6,365 6-GG QMS TIMOTHY MERRILL HT enjoys the unique distinc- tion of being the school's only member of the National Athletic Honor Society, members of which must be equally proficient in studies and sports. T's consistent good work at left-tackle did much for gaining our measure of success in football this year, and his work on the gym team is well known. His work in the classroom puts to shame those tempted to wail that you can't be good in sports and subjects. too. Hats off to T ! RALPH C. MILLER. JR. Ralph is a new-comer to our school, but he has quickly made a host of friends. and is included in the group of Eddie. Dan, and Bill. Already he has gained a reputation in his studies that any- one might well be proud of: espe- cially in American History does he find a joy in arguing little known. but signilicant points. Ralph is the only member of our class to have enjoyed the distinction of acting in the movies. JOHN MUMMEY Here's our star gymnast-the handsome Tarzan, who makes the girls' hearts go faster as he performs his feats of skill and strength on the horizontal bar. Gymnastics are but one of his many interests, for the Ford Cof which he is half ownerl, basket- ball, and baseball all have claimed a goodly share of his attention. He's Bill Pyle's idol and-did we hear someone mention West View? RUTH NARDO Ruth actually walks from Shields every day. If that is what makes her a good basketball player. every- one will be walking to school soon. We wonder if Ruth is ever angry: she never looks that way. For a smile few are her equal and as a personification of pep, vim, and vigor she is not surpassed. She belongs to the Commercial Insep- arables. Twenty PAUL JOSEPH MILLER Here is one member of the class who can oversee everything-and that includes rival centers on the basketball-floor! Paul Cor Sleepy as he is better knownj is an excel- lent Chemistry student, but his too-ready answers often have earned a good grade for someone else. Paul likes to pun, especially in Chemistry class. If you want him he will be found doing one of two things-sleeping, or doing something somewhere with Sam. CLYDE MOON Since Clyde lives in Carnot, he often gets to school as early as Mr. Bolin, and thus manages to get his Chemistry experiments written at the right time: he's never known that hectic last-min- ute rush to get his work com- pleted. Industrious though we know him to be, Clyde has a par- ticular aversion to rushing, and never does. Clyde's brand of humor renders him exclusive, and one has to understand really to appreciate. ALBERT MURPHY Bud's greatness lies along ath- letic lines, and the name he has made justifies all the effort he has put forth. Called upon not a few times to call signals in football games, Bud handled his job with rare skill and finish: in basketball. too, he has proved valuable at crucial moments. Liking his food and good times, Bud seems to be an avowed Epicurean, and firmly be- lieves that there is absolutely no point to hurrying. Try to hide it as he will, his pep is not unknown. ADELLA E. MINICK Adella is another of our com- muters: she hails from Stonedale on Sewickley Heights. The sixth member of her family to be gradu- ated from our noble institution, she helps make the Senior class the illustrious group it is. This year found Adella on duty as a member of the trafic squad: her smiling face gave offenders a most guilty con- science. Her sweet voice brought her into publicity in pre-Forensic singing contests. QWAQ ffl?-Q QWAQ QZTQ 275.12 1 9 3 2 Q-?i99T'i?i5l9-QQIQAKSQASQS

QNQ5 K5 ENE QQ? ENS SEWIHI QM? QM? Q55 QM? QM? ISAAC KOHLER Ike, it seems, refuses to give evidence of the superior scholastic ability we know him to have: he has, however, consented to prove to us that his athletic abilities are by no means limited: he has done some excellent work in track events. Ike likes his Latin, espec- ially Caesar: at least it would seem that way from his constant devotion to his Latin. .IEANNE E. LOWERY Senior boys who have devoted practically their four years of high school to judging feminine pulchri- tude acclaim Jeanne as the pret- tiest Senior. A member of the girls' tennis team four years, she proved herself a really fine player. She's an expert with the paint- brush and needle and has been in several plays. Jeanne's only fault is, that when driving the Ford, she takes her half of the road from the middle. DAVID MCCONNELL For three years Dan has served ably and faithfully as one of those too-little-appreciated members of the Chapel Program Committee. The improved quality of our assemblies testifies as to the valu- able service he has rendered. Dan is also renowned far and wide for his German hair-cut, his note-writ- ing, his spelling. and his activities as one of the gang which includes Bill. Ralph, and Eddie. BEATRICE MCFARLAND XVe never saw anyone else who had such a How of language, but we admit her talk really is inter- esting and amusing. She also has a genius for short poems which have quite a bit of wit. As an actress she is very capable-did you hear her in hysterics? Indeed, she has been amply endowed by the Muses. And her good nature is really something to be envied what? KATHERINE KORDESCHICK Another Winsome lass whom we are proud to acknowledge is Kath- erine. She has been with us only two years. but through her genu- ine friendliness she has won many friends for herself. Her well- rounded arguments are almost a daily feature of English Class. Her straight-forward frankness in every- thing commands attention imme- diately. When one hears of a devilish plot, he can rest assured that Corky is implicated. Her eyes just dance with mischief. SARAH JANE MARUCA Some business man will soon thank his lucky star for Sarah. System will come to chaos, papers slip to their right pigeon-holes, tile cases take on order when this intel- ligent, eflicient child enters her job. There will be no fuss nor chatter, but the work will be done right. We all admire those deep brown eyes and the slow, but sweet, smile that are Sarah's. BRADLEY MCCORMICK Hail to the editor-in-chief of all our publications! Much credit is due Brad for his competent management of The Oracle and The Sewihi during his two years as editor-in-chief of both publica- tions. Brad excels in studies, too, especially history: he's practically an authority on Napoleon. One of the charter members of the National Honor Society, we find in Brad an exemplification of the qualities which are that organiza- tion's ideals. FERN MECHLIN Fern claims Fair Oaks as her home. She's our personilication of Jest and Youthful Jollity. 'Tis said that opposites attract each other: this being the case, we have an explanation for the friendship of Fern and Clarkie-the long and short of our class. Endowed with a .sunny disposition, Fern makes friends wherever she goes: every Senior Cand most of the rest of the schoolj knows this lively little miss. Nineteen QW? MQ QWCQ QMQQ MD I 0 2 2 GN? GN?

E555 E555 E355 EN5 EN5 SEWIHI 9.3-X35 0,365 53635 5.5655 6536 DOROTHY E. PATTON Not famed for being particularly quiet, Dorothy can always be found in the midst of loud and jolly fun. Economics students will vouch for the fact that she did much indis- pensable work as Mrs. Egolf's stenographer. Dorothy has three hobbies - debating with Miss Andrews, the movies, and riding in a Plymouth. We think she mostly enjoys the latter two. GEORGE PURDY Another of our star athletes! Putts is able to perform with equal ability in football, basket- ball ,tennis, or baseball, and he has acquired a reputation in all of these sports. He also was one of those who helped plan graduation: the Senior Dance, especially, was a product of his efforts. He is always seen at every social function, generally in the company of a certain very pretty lass. WILLIAM L. PYLE Bill is famed for his exploits on the golf course and in the pitch- er's box. It is thrilling. indeed, to listen to Bill relating his experi- ences in these sports, and, we think, still more interesting to observe him in action. Practically inseparable from John Mummey Cwhom he affectionately calls Uncle Hooverj, Bill is a real friend. Although his sense of humor is certainly a most individual one, Bill is known by it, and is popular with everyone. EDWARD J. RUFF Ed graces many a phase of school life with his talents. On the foot- ball team, in plays, in debate, in public speaking, and on the Sewihi staff, his confidence has proved to be a real driving force. Lessons, too, present no difficulties. No won- der, then, that he this year was selected for a place in the National Honor Society. However great his persuasive powers may be, he never fully convinced Mrs. Peterson that the whole Aeneid is just poetic license. SAMUEL PORTO Tootin' Sam. that busy man Who plays on the clarinet- A terrible piece of verse, but it represents Sam's highest accomplish- ment. What would the orchestra and Mrs. Egolf do without him! Next to his clarinet, Sam seems to like the lab and Room 220 the best. Curly hair, a wide smile-can you blame the girls especially? ALICE B. PURVIS Though Sue comes from Edge- worth, we think her main interest is Sewickley, for more reasons than one. She is that adorable type of young person who looks so sweet and lovely in frills and tucks, and who is just as sweet as she looks. She is an expert at the piano, but pipe organ playing is her high ambition. MARY JOSITA ROACH And now we introduce Jo, the class's wittiest and most humor- ous. The knack of twisting sensible words and sentences into absurdi- ties is distinctly hers. She does have her serious moments, and is quite the envy of all the bookkeeping students. At typing, too, she's gifted: all the Sewihi manu- scripts were done by Jo. She plays the piano admirably, and- oh, yes, we mustn't fail to men- tion that she's half of the school's most famous tap-dancing team. CECILE RUPERT Always dignified, Cecile goes among us in her quiet way, mak- ing it her businss to avoid trouble. and never to Worry anyone. When she expresses an opinion in English class, you can be certain that it is valuable and the result of careful thought. We wonder what field attracts Cecile more-the business world or domestic duties. Have you noticed the diamond she wears on a certain finger?
