ENS FNS f5 ENS GN-6 SEWIHI Qi QE Q55 QM? Qifel Class History Another mile-stone in the progress of the Sewickley High School is reached with the graduation of the Class of 1932. At this step of our journey, we, the members of the class, stop for a moment before we pass on to view the way traveled, to consider the history of our past four years. Seventy-nine strong, the size of the group is the first feature noticeable. It is quite an advance, indeed, over the live who made the class of 1907, just twenty-five years ago. We hope, however, proud as we ,are of our number, that we have more than size to claim as merit. So looking further we see our record in leadership, sports, and other activities, and here we find real cause for claiming that our class is a fine, outstanding one, indeed. Our leadership has been active though, we believe, quietly effected, which is greatly to its credit. Produced largely through the Student Councils, a smoothness and harmony of relations has been maintained. Responding to needs of the school and the class, our members have been true to responsibility. The National Honor Society has found seven members in our class. The guiding of The Oracle and The SeWihi has for two years rested upon one of our number. His chief assistants this year have, of course, been seniors. The spirit here maintained is recognized: the worthwhile is emphasized: the trivial kept in restraint. The athletic members of the class found themselves able to do and to dare. Combined athletic and scholastic standing found public recognition in the case of one senior. But then note that practically the whole football team this year was composed of seniors, that nine basketball lettermen were of our group, that seasons in both were com- paratively successful. Then you know the truth. The Gym team. for the last two years showing several of '32 is one of which any school might be proud. Our golf and tennis representatives have had an auspicious start in this spring season. Then think of the seniors participating in the Orchestra, the Glee Club, Dramatics! One glimpse at the pictures shows that we, the Class of 1932, may claim due credit for all their successes. We furnished contestants for Forensic League Instrumental Contests, leaders in plays, soloists, members of duets, quartets, etc. And, moreover, think of the support we gave where help was needed. We know full well that some must be prominent and others must create and preserve that prominence. We have sold tickets, managed bake sales, sold hot dogs at football games, been presidents of clubs, chairmen of council committees, planned and trained for assembly programs, guided the behind-stage activity-what haven't we done and done well? With it all we have had a good time. Happily we have laughed and worked-Aa good way to go through the world. We have our serious students, our hard workers. our butterflies. As June draws near, and commencement, there comes a feeling of regret that we must leave. Our days in Sewickley High have been days well spent. Happy and pleasant days they were and days in which we have developed strong friendships both for our school and classmates. Lovely will be the memories of the life of which we have been a part-some of us for a short time: some from the kindergarten up-good friends, all of us. Twenty-six E252 QZQVQ EWU? QW?

CSN-5 QMS ENE ENS GN5 SEWIHI C'-Z3 9,665 63343 6131? Qdfai Prophecy It is very strange this evening to see, as if in a dream, before me, this sea of faces. It recalls to me a similar event way back in 1932, to be exact June 21, IQ32, at Sewickley High School. But, now my dream fades, and all is dark. My mind cannot concentrate with the facility of former years. I am very old: perhaps that is my reason for soliloquizing so over past events. Alas, I have strayed from my subject--to return-I have itl It was a Class Night at the home of the Red and Blue which particularly caught my fancy in that year now one half century old. It was not the place, nor the time, but the superlative ability of the class which attracted my attention, and I have made it my businesss to keep a close record of the activities and achievements of these men and women, who have, everyone, made a record which is quite enviable in the world down yonder. lt seems that I have it around this misty place some- where, but where can it be? In my diary? No-- In my account book? No- In my book of notable accomplishments? Ah! here it is in black and white, bearing at tribute to those excellent young people, now successful in the wide world. At that time I listed their names, and their achievement was listed as each attained it. Ah! it does my heart good to read it again. Let me see :-- JOHN ELLIS-now renowned for his financial success.
