In its one sm all room a scanty group of children in home- spon sat on rough oaken benches, shivered as they wrote on crude slates. Such was Sewickley's first school. In 1848 a Brick School marked the second step in the evolution of Sewickley schools. It, in turn, was later abandoned for the first Grade School. When this building was razed by fire some forty-four years ago, the present Grade School was erected on the same site. And linally, in '26, came the crowning educational achieve- ment of Sewickley's history -- the High School. Today, superbly modern after a decade of service, it stands as an imposing monument to the advancement of learning. FUREWURJ Volume Fifteen! For five years in the old school, ten years in the new, the annual Sewihi has made its appearance on the S. H. S. horizon. For fifteen years it has created an enduring pictuqe of high school life. For fifteen years its com- pilers have striven earnestly to r.,..ke it 'a little better than before.' The latter phrase represents the ambition of this year's staff as well. We are fortunate in having a great year to record - a year of out- standing achievement in many fields for Sewiclc- ley High School. It has been the highest goal of our Sewihi to catch and preserve some part of the spirit - the youthful, living spirit - which animates our school. It is for you to judge our success. We present - your Sewihi. ., ,aKb,1yf, 1 4 Q fi .ff DEDICATION T0 Youth! Carefree, happy-go-lucky youth, the sym- bol of courage, of earnestness, of purity. Youth, with its high ideals, its infectious laugh, its irresis- tible enthusiasm! O happy time! The spring of life, bubbling over with joy, and romance, and comradeship: when all the world is a garden, a gar- den of hopes and dreams and ambitions. Hark! There's music in the air F a blithesome laugh, a merry cheer, a tender word 4 music which touches the heart with its throbbing warmth. Ah! Exultant rides the youth on high: the glooms of earth fall far below: his soul soars upward, upward - to the sky! Wise was Ponce-de-Leon, who dedicated his life to the pursuit of this greatest of all treasures. For what is the vastest hoard of gold, the highest pin- naclc of fame, compared with the innocent happi- ness of youth? Of youth, which laughs at the great- est barriers, which, dauntless, looks to new frontiers, new lands to conquer? To the immortal spirit of youth, the Class of 1937 dedicates its Sewihi.

HUNDRED AND Another year has rolled around, and the Class of 1937 is preparing to leave the familiar scenes of High School for the less familiar ones of Life. It makes us feel a little sad to realize that the gay times we have had in the past few years will soon be just a memory- but such a pleasant one! We entered as most other Freshmen, a trifle green and yet feeling most important. From the very first day, however, the class began to build the foundations which have been so durable. We worked mighty hard as heads of the Junior High and its Council, ambitious that our group should be the best ever. Our Sophomore year, at first, was somewhat of a let- down. We found that the upper classmen carried away most of the honors, and we were left sitting in the side-seats of the chapel. Nevertheless, undaunted, we soon found our feet and gave the others a race for their victories. Finally in our Junior year, we found our true place. Athletics, Forensic, Plays-all were new iields to con- quer. No longer feeling left-out of things, we advanced rapidly, making quite a name for ourselves as a class. We gave a successful Prom, while many of THIRTY-SEVEN our number were outstanding in the Mid-Year Play, various Sports, and Debating. And so, on to the crowning success - our Senior year! The front doors literally opened to admit us. The school showed its faith in us by the many duties placed upon our willing shoulders. Need we say we were and are proud of that trust. We feel that we have gained in other ways than mental only - in shouldering responsibility, in leading, in social ways and business-like methods, in friendliness and helpful- ness. As the last of these happiest of years draws to a close, we leave behind us to our advisors and helpers. the Faculty, our appreciation for leadership, guidance, helpfulness, and friendliness. To the school we leave all the things, big or little, that we have accomplished while we worked and played here. On the other hand, we take with us all the hope, ambition. courage, and spirit of fair-play which we have attained throughout our school life. So, with the words the best or noth- ing ever sounding in our ears, we boldly doff the School-day Cap and don the Cap of Life. L. A. W., '37 FINISHED TO BEGIN We are finished: and just for a while The thought of it saddens our smile. The years that have hurried by one after one We crowded with moments of laughter and fun, Of joy and of sadness. Each one had its place In bringing us nearer the end of the race. These memories will always endure In the hearts of old friends still secure The bright smile and gay whistle not gone, Will with us linger - live on. We are finished, but just to begin: Life is before us, and we're out to win. We are leaving together, to go out alone. From now on, the burden is only our own. We must leave now the portals that we hold so dear. Through the years we've been guided: now we're steering clear. We stand well equipped, poised as for flight Which will carry us onward, out of time, out of sight. Bue we can remember when time has gone by, Our comrades andfriendships of Old Sewihi. TED ALEXANDER Beware this challenger, Ye Maulers of the Matsl Good old Teddy has quite an impressive rec- ord in local wrestling circles. Such a handsome strong-man invites plenty of feminine attention, but there is only one for Ted - a pearl among women. FLORENCE BEELER Flo's love of outdoor sports is noteworthy. She plays baseball like a major leaguer and so is much in demand when teams are picked. She is the cheerfullest person, quiet in her manner, yet ready to chat comfortably with all. WALTER BOWER ' If you want to know what the well-dressed gentleman should wear -look up Walt. Besides being a smooth dresser he is our crack sales- manager and stage guild handyman. But Walt's specialty seems to be old Fords, especially if they are capable of getting him to Edge- worth. CURTIS BRANCH Varsity football end, varsity bas- ketball center. track team, Curtis's record speaks for itself. An all- round athlete and good fellow, Cur- tis is well liked by all. His ready friendliness and willing smile and genuine courtesy make him a most worth-while classmate. JACK BRAND Jock has been an exceptional leader in activities and athletics, popular with one and all. He takes things seriously, as his scholastic record shows: yet ranks as social favorite number one. Princeton is his goal. Watch out, Harlow- blonds are the weakness of the local Bobby Jones. JAMES BAUMGARTEL A vacant chair during the hunt- ing season signifies that the bears had better look out for Jim. This genial sportsman puts on a capable performance whether on stage or cinder track. A mountaineer from the Heights, Jim is generally seen with Ray or Andy. PAUL BEMIS A lively, energetic little chap with a thatched roof-that's Paul. One of our more able business men, he is an invaluable asset to Western Union. As a football manager he was a loyal servant to the team. Good things come in small pack- ages. HARRY BLAKE He looks so innocent. He studies so industriously. Then all of a sudden he is having the best of good times. He booms out a laugh and a joke-the loudest and happi- est in the live group of his friends. For some reason or other they call him Mole.i' MARY BRANCH Wittiness seems to be the key- note of Mary's popularity in Se- wickley High, although the good spirit and fun-loving atmosphere that she encourages among her friends does not impede her studies. She is a diligent worker and a gen- erous helper. RICHARD BROWN Whewl That Chevy just missed me! And no wonder, for the hand- some, well-dressed man at the wheel was Dick Brown. Football end. Sewihi business manager, social lion --Dick surely gets around. We know a certain little lady who is the height of Brownie's ambition. I Wanda who? SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS -fu NETEEN tNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN MARGARET CAMERON Peg is one of those enviable people who can do so many things so very well. She put the Girl Reserves out in front, her debating helped win championships. and her grades rated the Honor Roll. Her sincerity and sunny personality have carried her far. KATHLEEN CARTER This lassie with the beautiful clear complexion and lovely soprano voice hails from the Heights. She is slow in her ways but is always sure. never taking an unsteady step. for she desires work in the commer- cial field. One never knows who Kathleen's heart-throb is, not even Bubbles. NEAL CLAY The tall, smooth chap who reads the minutes briefly describes Claysie. Classmates and clubmates have elected him to many an office. and he naturally falls into play casts. His ability to sling it is legendary. The Chevrolet Corpora- tion eagerly awaits its future presi- dent. JAMES CRONIN Meet the Irish thrush. Yes, sir, a triple threat man all the time. He is very congenial and unassuming. Business ability showed in his work as assistant to football manager. He plays third base for Mayor Dolan's Shamrocks. BETTY DAMBACH Down from the Heights each morning Betty drives. Her enthu- siasms range all the way from the depths of Chemistry Tests to the heights of gay warbling in the Glee Club. Wherever we find her we see our Betty at her own happy best. ELEANOR CARTER Miffie came to us last year from Hollidaysburg. One of Miss Hay's ardent students. she plans to continue her art work. Quiet but ever most friendly. her flashing smile and lovely hair are the envy of all the girls. Wherever Miflie is, there is bound to be laughter. JEAN CAVIN Jean leaves Edgeworth every morning with her faithful bag full of lessons prepared and returns at night to work again. The typing room sees her frequently after school as she toils away on those exercises for Miss Andrews. Our cheerful Jean wi2.be sadly missed. U ax' 64 w-4' 1 Q' SHIRLEY CLIPSON Skip is a most helpful addi- tion to the chapel committee. though she is interested in all school activities. No one is more ready for a good time. Household Economics is her chosen Held. Skip made her debut as an actress in The Swan as Princess Dominica. What is the attraction in 207, Skip? MARY DAMASO The slow, quiet smile that is Mary's will be missed in the halls of old Sewihi. Going her way with her own friends she has gained a place in the regard of all of us. The gain of the business world will be Sewickley High School's loss. MICHAEL DEGORI Mike is a wonder with the pig- skin and at basketball is an alert. heady player. He keeps that fine physique in condition by constant training in boxing. Determined to be a big time football coach. he practices on the Hill-toppers, SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL SENIO ALICE DEMPSEY Yes, Alice is one of The Dempseys. She has golden hair, blue eyes, and a sprinkling of freckles on her tip-tilted nose. A certain alumnus seems to take a great deal of her time. With all her harum-scarum ways, Alice seems to find time to knit beautifully. PAUL DIPPOLITO Paul's particular hobbies show a mechanical turn. Electricity attracts him. Radio came next. Not con- tent with small successes, he fash- ions his for boat use. He talks with friends over hand-made tele- phones. The Cilee Club profited by his good basso profundo. ROBERT EVANS One of the mysteries of life is which is Bob and which is Dick. Seldom seen without his brother. Hank, or Chuck. he likes to sing. the girls. his pipe, and Kay Kyser's music. He is always in the thick of things, whether it be dancing or a Chemistry experiment. WILLIAM FOWLER Our Editor-in-Chief, winner of Junior Essay Contest, producer of the Hi-Y Hysteria, Bill displays his talent as a writer, distinct and original. He is also a talented clari- net player. rivaling Benny Good- man himself. Yet with all this, Bill still seems to get around with the fairer sex, RAYMOND FAHRNY 'AGlenlield's gift to the Traffic Squad is outwardly a very serious fellow. As a matter of fact R is one of the few Seniors w hold up that class's noted trait. A good student and a staunch friend, Ray will remain in our memories as a swell fellow. WILI,IAM DEMPSEY He lives up to his middle name, Patrick. by being at the center of all arguments: Bill can readily handle himself. He is one of the best ushers that ever ushed. An original member of the All Alley Boys, Tecumseh starred in touch- football last fall. R AYMOND EGLER Ride 'em, cowboy! The gym horse takes a beating with gymnast Egler up. Ray's enviable position in the local theatre makes him a cinema expert. We have a suspi- cion that some of that bulging muscle represents bouncing tech- nique. Edgeworth marches on! RICHARD EVANS Dick, who comes with Bob all the way from Edgeworth via the shoe leather trail, is the other half of the teachers' twin problem. As the leading man in the spring play this year, he displayed acting ability and well merited that choice. He often sees dots before his eyes. WILLIAM EMRICH This lad may be seen Knot to say heardj at sundry hours travers- ing the streets of our fair city. His vehicle is notable for its noise: its driver is notable for his manual skills, biological knowledge, and muscular build, Radio is another pet interest. RUTH FAUST Ruth left us in her Sophomore year but came back to graduate in the class of '37, Our victorious girls' basketball team was aided thereby, and all of us were delight- ed to see Mousie in the halls again. She favored all of us with a warm-hearted greeting. NX MILDRED FISHER Mildred in the classroom seems always quiet and studious, thought- ful and shy. Outside, her friends End a humor and an appreciation of others' humor that are marked. She claims she is glad to graduate: we believe her, at that. WILLIAMS GEHRES Williams is very versatile. He likes photography, and we hear he excels in the subject. He's never serious, always going somewhere. Once he gets started there's no stop- ping him. He also makes a mean drummer for both the senior orches- tra and the jazz band. W4 UM ' MKATHRYN GRAHAM Kitten is the belle of the hour. That blonde hair, that naive man- ner, that graceful dancing point the way to social success. Talented musically, she Hddles with the orchestra and sings with the girls' trio. The admirers are innumer- able, while Kathie admires - golf and football men. GRANVILLE GREEN Ah! A poet in our midst. Gran- ville has the brains and earnestness to become another Paul Lawrence Dunbar, too. His athletic ability is a great help to the track team. He ranks high in his class-a gen- eral all-around success. His dis- position is a marvel. LOIS GREGG Her auburn hair with a mar- velous wave, her dimples. her giggles attract attention wherever Gregg goes. She and Bettina are seen everywhere together. She is also well known for her dramatic work and organizing ability. There is a rumor about that she has been hook ed. HELEN GOULD Deeply interested in her studies. Helen proves herself capable of handling delicate situations. She has made a host of friends due to her keen interest in association with others. Basketball has more than proven her athletic capabilities. JAMES GUILOT See that end smearing up the play? See that Hercules throwing the discus? See that lightning flash dribbling down the floor? That's Jimmy. Football, track. basketball -Jimmy is an outstanding athlete. With cheerful manner he extends a friendly hand to all. VIRGINIA GRAHAM With alert arm this little woman flings the Ford around. The red gold hair stands out in any class- room. Like Sissie she can vocal- ize: while Miss Stewart appreciates the piano tinkling. A charming hostess, she entices many to climb the hill. A great girl-Jinny. OCTAVIA GREEN A quick, pleasant smile. a friendly greeting, and a studious manner make us enjoy knowing Octavia. Always quick to see the fun in life. she adds definitely to the atmosphere of the classroom. Octavia has a direct manner and a dignity that show her worth. BETTY GRUBBS This young lady is always read- ing or talking and has plenty to say on any subject that comes up for discussion - a blessing on home room days. Betty is an all-around sport: also slightly air-minded. How can we tell where her main interest lies - here or else- where? NETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN PAUL I-IAGUE To look at him one would think him a Freshie: but make no mis- take: notice the brightness of those eyes. Besides he has a big heart and a huge smile. His favorite pastime is talking, and always he finds listeners. He Kfoolslearound with chess. K X X . Aytx X ju W N it :cfs X W. JEAN HA Y A af' I Blithe Jean is a combination of beauty and brains. She isNMr. Bolin's 'Astar pupil and chief worry. Of late she has become quite an actress. witness her haughty Beatrice. Perhaps her interest in drama caused her excite- ment about the Cory Senior Play- Perhaps. FRANK HEGNER Brains are Frank's stock in trade. His membership in the National Honor Society proves his all-around qualifications. Widely-read and traveled, he knows more about more different things than any other fel- low we know. Biggest problem: Engineer or professor? We are sure of his success. SELENA I-IOLTHAUS Dobie, although she is quite a scholar, finds time to be heaps of fun. She is most often seen with Greggie and Em. Selena's varied interests include: A Capella Choir, Cilee Club, Sewing, and especially dramatics: both this year and last she took part in major dramatic productions. MARY JACKSON Everybody's Friend is a good nickname for Sis. She's an Honor Roll student who excels in sports- quite a rare combination. She's always willing to help when and where she can. Her literary ability has found an outlet in editing the Oracle. ALICE HAMILTON Pretty, quiet, and brunette is 'AHam. She is Mr. Stroup's in- dustrious secretary, and works for others on the side. Maudie and she are always together. and, of course, they have the Chevvy. How Alice can drive! Especially up Nevin Avenue. ANNA HARTLE Another Heights student is Anna. Her turkey farm is the source of pride and information of a certain member of the faculty. Her sprightly blond head bobs about the halls very energetically as she rushes from class to class. She's never still and seldom serious. WILLIAM HITE Always aspiring to be an actor, Horace hopes to attend a dram- atic school in the fall. His per- formances as song leader will long be remembered. As a moving spirit in the Hill Billys Bill became associated with mounting music, though his personal preference seems to be for swing. JEAN JACKSON If Jackie isn't with Betty fDambachD she's arguing with Betty CGrubbsl . Good-natured, an excellent scholar, she comes from far away on the Heights. She hopes to be a teacher of secretarial studies. The big brown eyes will make their mark. DEVERE JOHNS One of the best passers in the league, his lightning arm was a mainstay of our basketballers. His accurate golf shots carried off many a match. His tall, good-looking. dignified self appeared at every social event. His charming partner is also 'Afrom the hills. SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL S 0 NETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN ISABELLE JONES Isabelle moves about with dig- nity and stateliness. Her good taste and disposition are a constant source of admiration. This Senior lass often misleads us with a mistaken solemnity. You'll remember her delicious sense of humor. XVILLIAM KELLER Piff hails from Glenfield. He is quiet at times, but don't get him started or he will talk until you are blue in the face. Always at school bright and early. he flashes like a streak of lightning at the sound of the last buzzer. What would Pill' be without Eva? ROBERT KUHN ln and out of school bobs this well dressed scion of the Elmhurst Inn. His concentration in class is a thing to be wondered at. His hearty chuckle encourages the class room wits. A good companion, he makes friends. Watch him wheel that car around. We flee for our lives. . RICHARD LOTTES' i all-around with. a Capital 1 Not only does lie participate in athletics, with sun- dry teams in basketball, foot , and mushball profiting as a r sult, but he also indulges in chemistry to such an extent as to be labelled The Mad Scientist. His puns are a great asset to any class. Nick is MARGARET MCILVAIN Maudie is liked and admired by everyone. Her cheery greeting and sprightly ways are very popular- especially with the boys. She is a very efficient secretary for both Mr, Duncan and Mr. Stroup. Her motto Do or Dye may have something to do with Aliquippa. IDA KNECHT Ida or Ike, as she is more fam- iliarly known. is always bubbling over with fun and good spirits. Her chief effort, when she is not telling the day's news to her pal Sara, is being Mr. Gill's SCCYCIAYY. Baseball is one of the joys of Ida's life. DOLORES KUEFNER We all call Dolores' car the school taxi-cab. Every morning and every noon it brings to these Halls of Learning a bundle of merriment and laughter. She is always cheery. and though she was ill a great deal this last year, she has come through with flying colors. FLOYD LEE Dick is one of the reasons Se- wickley's athletics have been so suc- cessful. He has won his Varsity S in football, basketball, and track. He is truly a man of all sports. l-le is seen on frequent occasions busily engaged and .smil- ing happily with feminine friends. ALEXANDER LYON This smooth looking Beau Brummel is the life of all Sewick- ley's social affairs. Without Moag it isn't a party. His ability as sales- man, shown by his record ticket selling for high school affairs. inldi- cates one career. Bud's winning personality makes him an all-round favorite with girls and fellows alike. LOIS MCLEAN Dolly adds considerably to the musical atmosphere of S. H. S. Her alto voice blends equally well in the classics of the Glee Club and in the popular music of the girls' trio. A Scottish junior is a special friend of hers. Her art work has attained prize-winning worth. SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL SENIO MARY KATE MCMASTER An all-around good student and a good sport is the literary editor of this year's Sewihi. She was an enthusiastic participant in Forensic activities, beside being an active member of Student Council. Her poetry has already won public rec- ogmtion. EMMA MARUCA Emma's accomplishments are many. She can take dictation and type with the best of them. This year her name appeared on the Oracle Staff. You will remember her as the super-hypnotist in Bash- ful Bobby. Emma is an enthusiastic worker: she can always be counted on. ALBERT MASSEY Seventy-nine, hundred and eight. hike! The capable field generalship of this fellow spelled the difference between victory and defeat for our football team. His work on the basketball floor was also meritor- ious. A quiet chap and a good fellow-Albert. He gets around in the coupe. FRED MEYER Fritz is seldom seen afoot out- side school. for his two wheeled Cord whisks him wherever he wishes to go. He is a better-than- average student and a chemist of note, a member of Student Council and the Edgeworth Bicycle Clubbe. FRANCES MUDERS Blond, blue-eyed, with naturally wavy hair, Miss Doty's secretary is a treat for the eye. Frannie and Julia are inseparable pals. She scorns the attentions of local boys. but finds Mt. Washington rather attractive. Our book shows her artistic ability. ROBERT MARTIN A busy, energetic, likeable fellow is Bob. A stellar guard, he had the distinction of captaining the fm- est football team in many a year. As basketball manager he worked hard and well. His literary genius cropped up in the Oracle-Sports Editor Martin. ANTHONY MARUCA Tony's job is to take care of Mr. Winne's work-but that's just one of his activities. Others are golf and the gym steam: Tony twirls Indian Clubs and gets medals for it. His ambition is to be a gym teacher. He delights in teasing the girls.--the old fox! JAMES META Another of our quiet but studious boys is Gus. He does his work willingly and with a smile. French is one of his pet subjects, or maybe it's the teacher. He is ever willing to help his friends and gets along with everyone. To be a His- tory teacher is his main ambition. LEONARD MOORE Chink seems to delight in be- ing a high man--blowing a high trumpet in the Orchestra, one of the high score men in basketball, a high jumper on the track team. His quick wit and good humor have made him a great favorite. WILLIAM MURDOCK Dot-dash, dash-dot! There's Murdock again with his amateur radio transmitter--his greatest love. Bill is the man behind the laugh in Chemistry class. Watch him buzz on the dance floor. His chauffeur calls promptly at 8:15 every morn- ing with the Dusenberg. WILLIAM NEELY Look for Neely in Mr. Hawes's room after school-he is nuts about chess. Why, he doesn't care when he goes home. Bill has one of those peculiarly keen senses of humor-this keeps him seeing the bright side of everything. He is always smiling. HARRY PFLUGH Small but mighty-that is the way they grow out in Mt. Nebo. Harry is a good baseball player and an all-round athlete. but has always kept his light under a bushel. Harry is seldom without Paul. even in Chemistry. Ask Mr. Bolin. GEORGIA POLLINGER Georgia joined us second semester last year from a Parochial School in Beaver Falls. Helpful Georgia meets all with a kind word. She and Frances are the best of friends. They say her main interest lies out of school. If you want good ser- vice go to I-Ieuler's. Q w- ' , - ' Ma N ,Xxxsx -' BETSY RAINBOW Betsy came up from the Academy two years ago. Her charm and beauty make her popular with boy and girl alike. Betsy and her Hud- son play chauffeur for us, taking many a jolly crowd to football games. And can she cheer! FREDERICK ROTH Here is our born leader, magnetic. friendly, persuasive. He is a Rabidemocrat ready to argue for Roosevelt at the drop of a ballot. This tendency is relieved by debate and extempo, where he is past mas- ter. He well leads Student Council and class. Socially-O boy! ELIZABETH PADOVESE The girl with 'the dark curls? That's Betty Padovese. She bright- ens the corner when-ever she is. One seldom sees her without Mary, Emma, or Dolores. She's another commercial student. secretary to la petite Carter. Our rival. Cory, holds a strange power over her. GEORGE POLLINGER Boake is the name, when among his select circle of chums. An outstanding star in baseball, foot- ball. and track, he was held down by other interests and just couldn't get going. We hear stories of social activity--what about Mount Washington, Boake? SARA PRYOR Always busy, and bubbling and bubbling with vitality. Sara is one of the high ranking students of the class. As basketball manager she led her team to success. Jolly and gay, she is usually seen with three boon companions. She will make a successful secretary. SCHUYLER ROBERTSON Sky's real dignity is equalled by his interest in work and geniality. His reputation as speaker rests on Debate and Oration records--Re- publican oratory, some call it. I-Ie's the type we all admire. Now on to Cornell for pre-med. CHARLES RUFF Chuck is the school's wildest piano slammer. He can tinkle tor- rid tunes or contaminate the atmos- phere with classical conglomerations at will. He is our play-boy. seldom serious, always happy in spirit: a ladies' man specially interested in a Junior lass. NETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN HENRY SACCO Lip hails from the Knob and has a great time. A football cen- ter, his prowess does not go un- recognized. He can also hit the white pellet with the stick. His various exploits furnish the mate- rial for a loquacious conversational- ist. ANDREW SCOTT Andy is a man who goes places and does things. Whether it be a dance, skating party, movie, mushball game, or confab he is on the scene with a big smile and an alert eye that misses nothing. Edge- worth is the native heath of this Royal Scott. RUTH SECHLER Ruth's shy nature is quite mis- leading, as some of us have found she can be quite jolly. She works like a trooper in the commercial department. One finds her at bas- ketball games, especially ones with Leetsdale. her former Alma Mater. Ruth has an outside interest-could it be the ring she wears? RAY SEVERANCE Doc's casual manner and sar- torial grace make him a favorite with everyone. He appears at all the social affairs to join in the fun making. Interested also along musi- cal lines, Ray plays the drums with a style all his own, and is a favorite accompanist. CLINTON SICKELER No, girls, that isn't Robert Tay- lor, though perhaps a rival some day: for Bud is quite an actor, as Seventeen and Bashful Bobby will bear witness. He indulges in vari- ous sports, works industriously, sel- dom misses a social event, and is likable all the while. RAY SCHLENTNER Always is. his big Chevrolet limousine filled with a crowd of friends, for Ray likes and is liked by everyone, girls no exception. He played well in drama and sports. With a graceful ease and quiet accomplishment, he lets us know he is on the way to success. ROBERT SEAVER A Rafael, a Disney, and other- wise an artist, is this master of the pen and ink. His work may be sampled on another page. An un- obtrusive fellow, earnest and sin- cere, a man who hails from the wilds of Glenlield - that's Bob. Long may he draw! DOROTHY SEGHMEYER Tiny, peppy, and blonde, Dot keeps everyone in high spirits. A good athlete, she is an ardent foot- ball and basketball fan. She is go- ing to be a dietician. Her experi- ments in Chemistry are always in- teresting, if sometimes disastrous. She also knows the twins apart. VELVA SHEPLER Sweet and quiet, she goes about her daily tasks with a will and energy that will take her far in the world. She is a basketball en- thusiast and an expert typist. Her charming smile changes in a frown only when her classmates call her Susie, HELEN SKILES lngomar is the starting place in the early morning, but Helen sel- dom misses. She is a most faithful student, as all her friends know to their advantage. Her hobby is knitting, and in her hands the in- tricate stitches become simple. This pastime suggests a career. SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL SENIO ETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN JULIA SOVAK Julia and her pal Frannie are the closest of friends. Inside and outside school she is two different persons. I-Ier club record shows the variety of her interests. Her business trend was used by her room. Those blue eyes are extremely attractive. RUTH STOFFEL Yes, Stuff is the little girl you always see hurrying to school about two steps behind Lois. Stuff or Clifferne, as you prefer: we never could decide just which has a most interesting history. She discover- ed quite an actor when she made a Lochinvar out of Bashful Bobby. MARY VACCARO One of our most ardent members is Mary, with the deep voice that sounds through the halls. In the event that you have missed her- she is so small-she has beautiful black curly hair, snapping black eyes, a splendid color in her face. JACK WATSON Jack has been with us from the start. Just get ahold of him and you can reminisce. Jack jerks sodas at Isaly's after school hours. and gives that service with a smile. Biology is one of his favorite studies: he is quite an authority. especially on snakes. PEARL WESTON Her merry laughter and bright gaiety have gained many friends for Pearl. She has been quite an asset to her Home Room Activity pro- grams. a fact we all deeply appre- ciate. Although a certain Ted occu- most of her time. Pearl some- can always spare you a lent. GLADYS SPACKMAN Here you have one who is ready. willing, and able. Gladys beams on us impartially: she does what is expected of her and does it well. The two main interests are basket- ball and books. Her observations are thoughtful. KATHRYN TURNBULL The talented Duchess, as her friends know her, excels not only in studies but in music as well: voice and violin. The radio already knows her. Latin is the worry of her life, as is also her curly brown hair. A senior drummer-boy is usually seen in the vicinity. MARY ANNE VALUE This fair, blue-eyed blond rides her bicycle to school rain or shine. Mary Anne is an accomplished artist and has gifts as a public speaker. As Mr. Gill's secretary. she is indispensable. It's always nice having Mary Anne about. NANCY WESTON A dignified, conservative girl is quiet Nancy. By industrious work she won a Junior Essay prize, and takes pleasure in both writing and chemistry. A friend to all and well- liked by those of us who know her best. Nancy will be missed in the High School. JOHN VVHARREY The hills and rolling plains of Ingomar are the native haunts of this tall gentleman. As a butler in Bashful Bobby he gave a splendid character portrayal - the wood- nymph scene will live long in our memories. Will farming instincts rob the stage? We see a conflict here. ELLIS WILLIAMS Ellis moves leisurely about, tak- ing time to mingle with friends and repeat an occasional chemistry joke. He does not let his bass singing in the Glee Club interfere with blow- ing high notes on his trumpet for the orchestra. In addition Ellis is quite an authority on 'iSteam. JACK WILLIAMS Smoky, an all around fellow, is our football hero. Although in- eligible this year, his brilliant play- ing in previous years and his loy- alty to the team gave him the posi- tion of Honorary Captain. Jack's good looks and muscular build make him the envy of the fellows and the joy of the girls. JACK WILLIAMSON Jack and his big bass fiddle are very prominent orchestra members and well nigh inseparable friends. He travels over the Pennsylvania Railroad to many distant points- Elorida for the ball game. He and Clyde liven sessions in 207. Some day he will build a trans-Atlantic bridge. LOIS WRIGHT Lois Wright is A number I. Her scholastic record, her string of activities, and hosts of friends have all had a hand in placing her on top. Although Lowie may feign dignity, the sparkle in her eyes teaches us differently. Of late she has become very much interested in the Track Team, i VXILLIAM WYNN Iii Blll, better known as Hank, is as he is tall. Mr. Stroup's xjght hand man, he may be seen at odd hours working on the stage. Constant companions are Dick, Bob, and Chuckfnot to mention a certain Junior, Floods are ob- noxious to Hank. HELEN YOST If you consider Helen a very sedate member of the class, you have never seen her in a gay mood. An attractive blue-eyed blond, she is careful of details. One notices her appreciation of others, especially of a certain member of that clan across the river. EMMA WILLIAMS Emma is generally quiet, but has such an admirable air that she always creates an attraction. She is studious, and ever willing to help. Emma possesses so great a capacity for amiability that she de- serves rightly to be one among these dignified seniors. NANCY WILLIAMS Petite, generous, and happy- hearted is Nancy, who is a part of one of our sets of twins. Nancy can usually be found with one of the Yost girls, laughing and having a gay time, She is one of S. H. S's. vocalists and has sung on the air. One of her hobbies, and one well accomplished, is dancing. CLYDE WRIGHT The original i'Great American Tourist, Clyde has covered a lot of territory Cby the P. R. R., of courseb. Between being Miss Bloomfrelds chief worry and keep- ing up his reputation as the Wm, Penn Sheik, he is kept busy. Clyde's name is frequently to be seen on the Honor Roll. BETTY WYNN A Winsome twin is our Bettina, always in the midst of things. She is never far from C1reggie, and since she has such a line soprano voice, she is one of the pillars of musical society in S. H. S. One of her most absorbing interests is a certain someone in far-off Cali- fornia. MARGARET YOST Twins? No, nor are you seeing double Q nevertheless they are always together, and the twin com- plex holds. They even dress alike. Meg has a disposition to go with her outward display of happiness. The inevitable man is Robby, of Aliquippa. RALPH ZEWE We have one real lover of the outdoors-that is Ralph. Nature appeals to him. Last year he and his pal took second on our Amateur Hour with a representation of farm life. This interest shows also in his bluff and genial manner. We know he enjoys life. Ye Editor Dolores Breath of Edgeworth Little Lo Scotch Child Youthful orator Ginnie and Sissie Batter-up Sewihi tragedy Walt and Dusenbcrg Ruthie Grrrrl Shadow men Dickie and Bobby Lo and Em Fantasy Three smooth boys Neale goes over Magnihcent obsession Fritz Love and learn HE FUTURE DESTI The prophet languished in her chair. What could one do with the Marys, Jeans. and Joans: the Toms, Dicks, and Harrys? Ho Hum! My, I'm getting sleepy. Now let me see. Jean Handy, Jean Handy, Jean, J-e-a-n - - - All is excitement, for tonight is the premier of the Starlight Roof atop the New Yorker Hotel, now managed by Robert Kuhn, with the aid of his very efficient secre- taries, Misses Margaret Mcllvain and Elizabeth Padovese. The entertainers are world- renowned: Chuck Ruff's famous orchestra with Ray Severance at the piano, Clinton Sickeler at the drums, Ellis Williams and Leonard Moore, trumpets, Jack Williamson slappin' the bass, and vocals by Miss Betty Wynn. Bill, her twin, is the Master of Ceremonies. The floor show consists of Nancy Williams' delightful songs and steps. Dolores Kuffner whistling like a bird, the Evans twins, Bob whistling and Dick singing, Mary Branch, rendering sizzling lyrics, Ralph Zewe with his barnyard imitations. The opening has been advertised colossally by Alexander Lyon, publicity manager. As the guests arrive, they are closely scrutinized by the house detective, Austin Haushalter. They check their wraps with Virginia Graham, the petite red-haired hat- check girl. The hostess, Mlle. Betsy Rainbow, welcomes one and all with a pleasant smile. Tonight's events are being broadcast over William Murdock's station S. E. W. by head announcer Fred Meyer. The guests are among the most successful people in the country. The first arrivals are -the prominent architect, Walter R. Bower, and his secretary bride, the former Alice Hamilton: with the President of the Bethlehem Steel Company, Ted Alexander, and his fiancee Miss Pearl Weston. The flying Pollingers, George and Georgia, are now coming in. The Misses Ruth Stoffel, Lois Wright, and Mary Kate McMaster have left their penthouse and six inch rugs to attend the gala affair. They are holding a bon voyage party for Miss Selena Holthaus, who is leaving tomorrow for the Orient to take a nursing position. Now entering are the newest golf champions, Tony Maruca and Jack Brand, accompanied by Miss Kathryn Graham, who made her debut last week at the Metro- politan. Also in that party are Bill Hite and Nancy Weston, whose names appear in lights at the Playhouse. In the center of the room is a large table at which are seated the Olympic stars, who have just returned home victorious. James Baumgartel distin- guished himself in the relay, Floyd Lee in the mile, and Curtis Branch in the 440. The team was ably managed by Richard Lottes. At a near-by table is the famed editor of the New York Times, William Fowler, and his business manager, Richard Brown, with Paul Dippolito, head of the Radio Corporation. Miss Jean Handy, headmistress of New York's most exclusive school for small boys, is being shown to her table. Her two assistants, the Misses Lois Gregg and Eleanor Carter, are with her. Next to them are the Assistant Attorney-General, Frederick S. Roth, Rear Admiral Frank A. Hegner of the navy, and Doctor I-I. S. Robertson, physician in charge of the New York Medical Center. Their conversation centers about this institution, at which Miss Betty Dambach is superintendent of nurses. On her staff are Jean Cavin, Ruth Faust, Anna Hartle, Gladys Spackman, Helen Yost and Margaret Yost. They speak of another doctor making a line record in research, Granville S. Green, whose sister Octavia is still his right hand helper. Also a subject of conversation is the appointment of the Rev. Williams Gehres to the rectorship of The Little Church Around the Corner. The next to arrive are the teachers of the Sara Pryor business school: the Misses Ida Knecht, Frances Muders, Emma Maruca, and Alice Dempsey. Over there in the corner we have Mike 'DeGori, the champion wrestler. His guests for this evening are Jack Williams, Henry Sacco, and James Cuilot, football coaches at Columbia University. At the table by the window is Miss Betty Grubbs, the astronomer, who is explain- ing her latest theory to Madame Kathleen Carter, proprietress of Fifth Avenue's newest and finest dress-shop. With them are Miss Ruth Sechler, who has made a name for herself in social work, and Julia Sovak, secretary to the new mayor. Their talk is concerned with the marital happiness of Mary Vaccaro, Mary Damaso and Velva Shepler. To their right the members of the flrm Meta, Fahrny and Massey, electrical engineers, are to be found in earnest argument with their rivals Johns and Schlentner, Inc. The eminent scientists, William Emrich and Jack Watson, discoverers of the germ Pleurostreptoneurococcus, are escorting Miss Mary Ann Value and Miss Lois McLean. commercial artists. This party also includes Clyde Wright and Miss Florence Beeler, NY OF T certified public accountants. They are busily chatting about the selection of Miss Helen Skiles and John Wharrey for trusted positions on the Vanderbilt estate. Another group of women, who look especially sparkling tonight, includes Miss Margaret Cameron, instructor of English at Columbia, Miss Jean Jackson and Miss Kathryn Turnbull, who teach math and music respectively at Albany High School, and Miss Shirley Clipson, who is now practicing her Domestic Science training in keeping a boarding-house for dogs. Miss Mary Jackson, physical education professor at Temple, has just joined them. Not far from them Neal Clay, chief pilot for TWA, is discussing Diesel engines for airplanes with Raymond Egler and William Neely. The ballroom is now almost entirely filled. However, people are still arriving. Even now the two famous women basketball stars Mildred Fisher and Helen Gould are slowly making their way to their table, chatting with Emma Williams and Isabel Jones, successful advertising agents. A large party has just arrived to fill the one remaining table. Paul Bemis, Presi- dent of Western Union Telegraph, is host to Harry Blake and William Keller, Wall Street brokers, Paul Hague and Harry Pflugh, members of the Giants, with their man- agers, William Dempsey and James Cronin, and Robert Martin and Robert Seaver, auditors for the Mellon Banks. Last but not least little Miss Dorothea Seghmyer appears, escorted by Andrew Newton Scott, the president of the Board of Directors of Rockefeller Center. It looks very much as if they won't find places. Well, it has been a wonderful evening for everyone .... The prophet stirred and sat up. Oh dear, I must have fallen asleep. I'd better get back to work or I'll never finish. Now let me see. Jean Handy, Jean Handy, Handy .... SAGA OF SEWII-lI That stern old lad, Chief Sewihi Matched out upon the field, While from the gaping bleachers A rousing war-cry pealed. The whistle blew, the game began: His brave and stalwart men Picked up the weak Coropoli And hurled them down again. With smashing, crashing, fierce attack The Cory line they battered: For what cared they for broken bones? The game was all that mattered. And ne'er did Chieftain Sitting Bull With bow or tomahawk Wreak havoc like old Sewihi With tackle, smash, and block. While touchdowns thunder right and left Poor Cory stands dismayed, Her puny strength proves futile 'Gainst daring Sewickley raid. And when the game is over The foe lies in the sand: Chief Sewihi strides from the field A fresh scalp in his hand. W. F..

THE CLASS Once again the Junior Class leaves its name and good times to the oncoming class and takes its place as leader. It gladly takes over the duties and respon- sibilities. It looks forward to the days of dignity when others shall look to it as an example, the source of the spirit which keeps the school alive, alert, and able to accomplish what a school must be, within its own walls and beyond those walls in competition and friendship with others, We have realized the responsibility of growing up. We have seen that the position of Seniors is not easily earned if it is to be held worthily. The class of l938 has worked hard as learners in duty in its years as underclassmen. As we look back on the past years of experiences never to be forgotten, we know that it has been one of happy times, with pleasure and work well balanced: for our class is represented in all the activities of the school, such as the chapel committee, forensic work, the chess team, Jane Abercrombie Dorothy Barley Marjorie Brainerd Edna Brown Laura Bulkeley Norma Challis Julia Chermeta Jane Clark Luthera Cogswell Margaret Cronin Loretta Daufen Elizabeth Doerper Lorraine Dunlap Anna Marie Edwards Marion Erwin Harriet Ford Nancy Fote Melva Fueller Margaret Gill Marjorie Hall Laura Harris Helen Hawes Alice Heber Malissa Hedge Nellie Hinerman Mary Jenkins Frances Kazen Helen Kedar Bernadine Klem Jean Littlecott Betty Luster ,J Robina Mcllvain Janet McMaster X' Elizabeth Mackall Anna Merriman Ruth Merriman Becky Miller Evelyn Miller Jean Miller Dorothy Morewood Sarah Murray Helen Myers OF NINETEEN golf, football, basketball, the Sewihi and Oracle staffs, the plays. Those who have not participated as promoters of an activity have entered whole- heartedly with their support of any affair sponsored by the school. It is with these enriching memories that we of the Junior Class step hesitatingly from our place and leave it to be filled by other students. It is with thoughts inspired by the influence of teachers, the able guidance of our home-room heads, and the cooperative spirit of the latter, that we realize how wc have been shown the way to fme sportsmanship. better scholarship, and a clearer view of the life ahead. It is with these qualities that we eagerly look forward to our Senior year, yet sadly look back on our nearly completed Junior year - a year of work, of play, of achievement - a year well worth remembering.

And so as Seventh Graders we were happy to come to the high school building. Yfghad a new experience when we became Freshmen. en, when the school year 1936-37 commenced, a Sophomore Class of one hundred and thirty-eight members was joyfully enrolled in the Senior High School. Fully realizing the added responsibilities contained in this step from Junior High, we at once determined to prove ourselves worthy of the new honor, and to gain respect and admiration for the class as a whole from the faculty and older students. With such great zeal did we apply ourselves, both in and out of school, that now, with the year behind us, the class feels that it has reached its goals. Having been endowed with a large number of excellent students and athletes, Sophomores were to be found in the front ranks of almost all of the school's activities, including the football, basketball, gym. track, golf and chess teams: the Stage Guild, Orches- tra, Glee Club, Forensic Contests, and the Oracle. Moreover, a very satisfactory number of our class were always to be found on the honor roll and the various school committees. We have been divided into four home rooms. In one of the sponsors we found a former friend, Miss Howland, come into her new work, and presently a new friend in Miss Doty who joined the faculty after the first six weeks. With these, Miss Koehler and Miss Andrews have been our faithful leaders. Now, having gained another year of valuable experience during which we have discovered and corrected our many faults, we are confident of be- coming an outstanding Junior Class, worthy of the school.

Under the capable guidance of our four home room teachers, Mr. Thome, Miss Simpson, Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Danner, we marched on through triumph after triumph, both mental and physical. We wish to acknowledge our cooperative and extremely popular Class President, Robert Ingram, with Max Maust as Vice President, and Ruth Walker as Secretary. Moving into the field of athletics, we come first to football. As Freshmen very seldom stand out in sports, the whole student body was surprised to find five Freshmen on the first two teams, one of whom received a letter for his sensational playing. Fight- ing through the basketball season to tie for second in the inter-class league, the Freshman team, under the commendable managing of George Hegner, bowed only to the haughty Seniors.

Again we had two varsity represen- tatives. Both went far in the Western Pennsylvania Meet, one winning first place on the rings and hori- zontal bar, the other placing very prominently on the horizontal bar. Reviewing the events of the educational field, we again find outstanding Freshmen. Several have already secured ,their scholastic letter, with others bound to be added this second semester. There has never been a better group of scholars in a Freshman class, Evidence of their industrious attitude is found in the widespread variety of vocations being prepared for, including everything from a school-marm to a style expert. In closing this history of our record, we wish to beseech the coming Freshman Class of '38 to strive to uphold the same high standards and ideals which we have attained. M.

For the second successive year the Class of '41 has been the youngest in the high school building. Far from being dismayed at this fact, we outdid ourselves in displaying our aptness and ability along many lines. In kindergarten Miss Bailey taught us the alphabet. In grade one we got our first taste of school life. In second there began that bugaboo of our leisure hours-homework, Fourth grade saw us walking around the halls to our classes. During the follow- ing term studies became more diflicult and required increased effort. At the end of year number six, we had a big graduation and moved to pastures new. In seventh we obtained our first taste of high school. Now in eighth we are especially interested in the new subject of science, with fascinating experiments, and in The Keyhole, our newspaper. Freshman year looms ahead with a host of new experiences. R. G., '41 THE SEVENTH GRADE We entered Sewihi, overjoyed at the prospect of new teachers and a chance to start a new and better record, but while this joy was still young, we received notice that the high school had not room enough to let us stay. So back to the Grade Build- ing we went in sorrow, but delighted to have Miss Truby return with us as an evidence of our link with the high school, as were also our hours with Miss Stewart and Mr. Thompson. -We had a new election, being divided into three sections, and started all over again. We did not for- get that we are still a part of Junior High, and that was an encouragement to do our work as if fate had not been unkind. During the year we have given various entertainments, such as Amateur Hours, Plays, and so forth. We have tried to do well and hope we have succeeded. We are anxiously await- ing our return to Sewihi next year. C. B.

Nominations are made by the faculty members, after which selection is made with careful delibera- tion, considering the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. This study is a critical one, for the Sewickley High School faculty has endeavored to make membership in this group a matter of high honor, not to be given to the many, not to be attained with- out strong basis for the award. Membership is not an outgrowth of competition, nor is it held before students as an incentive to careful performance of duty. Rather it is a measure of the normal, every day life. The associa- tions with each other, spirit of cooperation which is always ready for service, the constant performance of duty, the evidence of honor- able standards, the proof of scholastic ability 4 these prove a student worthy to be honored. It is not a matter of one year or two, but a record of steady worth that brings the right to wear over one's heart the emblem of the Honor Society. This pin with the name of the society presents the keystone and the torch, ever the symbols of responsibility, and the letters representing the qualities most stressed- Scholarship, the power of the mind to dispel ignorance through truth: Leadership, the power of personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climbg Character, the composite of all the common virtues, setting the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor: Service, the beginning and end of all education. The purpose is to emphasize the importance of students who recognize the enduring Values and, by their persistent upholding of these qualities, keep their schoolmates ever mindful of the best. On those elected falls an honor--yes, and a responsibility. In them has been recognized the worth which they must continue to show in their carrying on of school and life duties. The torch must be carried high or the flame burns low. To the group elected in their junior year, consisting of Margaret Cameron, Schuyler Robertson and Frederick Roth, were added this year: Jack Brand, Jean Handy, Frank Hegner, Selena Holthaus, Mary Jackson, Betsy Rainbow, Lois Wright, Seniors: and William Barger, Vincent Lutz, and Rebecca Ann Miller, Juniors. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIE It was with deep feeling and high ambition that the Senior Student Council members took their solemn pledge in the fall of 1936. That feeling and ambition have been maintained for a year: the many functions and wise counsel of the officers have promoted a wide-spread interest in its affairs. The installation program was a memorable ceremony, conducted with all the dignity, earnestness, and gravity due the Spirit of Sewickley from whose candle flame the various members singly lighted their symbolic candles. In the organization of this governing body, the members of the Executive Council are: President, Frederick Roth: Vice President, Schuyler Robertson: Secretary-treasurer, Rebecca Ann Miller. The Girl's Council under the guidance of Miss Hubbell, chose for its officers: President, Lois Wright: Vice President, Rebecca Ann Miller: Secretary-treasurer, Laura Bulkeley. The Boy's Council, sponsored by Mr. Stroup, elected for President Frederick Roth, Vice President, Schuyler Robertson: Secretary-treasurer, Alden Adams. In addition to the officers, the Council consists of Mary Jackson, Mary Kathryn McMaster, Frederic Meyer, Edna Brown. Ralph Nauman, Vincent Lutz: Ruth Ellis, Wilma Wagner, Martha Haley, Francis Haley, Elmer Fisher, and Joe Tiernan. A new system of badges for the Council and squad members quickly showed their oflicial position and helped them enforce and maintain laws of order and appearance. Locker inspection encour- aged neatness among the students. But enforcing school laws is not the Council's only function. The December Alumni Dance, a yearly tradition, offered many for- mer students an opportunity for reacquainting themselves with the familar sights. In the fall the exciting presidential election took place under Student Council supervision. The requested monthly dances proved as successful as other undertakings. Thus the Student Council cooperates with the students, not only as an advisory body, but as a sponsoring one as well. It is through the guidance of this organization, that the Sewickley High School has maintained a governing unit of its own, one of which its students may well be proud. R. A. M., '38 A D THE STUDENT COUNCIL In the fall the debate candidates were faced with the difficult task of formulating an interesting and convincing debate on the subject, Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. How well they accomplished this is shown in the line record of the season. The affirmative team consisted of Rebecca Ann Miller and Fred Roth, speakers, with Dorothy Morewood and Bill Street, alternates! the negative team of Margaret Cameron and Schuyler Robertson, speakers, with Kenneth Baumgartel and Raymond Rainbow, alter- nates. The preparatory work consisted not only of writing. rewriting, and learning arguments and refutation by reference work and reasoning, but also of many inter-team and non-decision debates. Through these latter, friendly forensic relationships were established with Rochester, New Brighton, and Charleroi, and the speakers were able to cope more ably with other and later opponents. Mr. Stroup as coach worked long and hard with his team to make their speaking more finished and persuasive and their case and arguments strong. The faculty and entire school contributed support to a degree never given before, and by their interest and approval greatly aided the team. Section Il of Allegheny County, consisting of Leetsdale, East McKeesport, Aspinwall, Coraopolis, and Sewickley, was won by Sewickley. Three judges' votes only, out of a possible twenty-four, were lost. From the winning of the section, Sewickley's representa- tives went on to defeat McKeesport, giving them possession of the title of Allegheny County Champion High School Debatersf' On April 7, Monessen High School, winners of Westmoreland County was met and defeated. Later the schools of Beaver Falls, Carmichael of Cumberland Township, and Sewickley participated in 2. Round Robin Debate to decide the championship of the District of Western Pennsylvania. The team met defeat here but at the hands of some of the most able debaters in the state. A line record was thus created, bringing all-round honors to county, school, coach, and debaters. Q M. C., '37 J 4 Mmqw M fi THE SEWIHI DEBA TEAM The oratorical representatives of old Sewihi were favored with the opportunity to perform on native soil for should we say plat- formj this year, since Sewickley played host to the Extempore and Declamation County Forensic Contests. This was the first speaking competition held in the local auditorium for some years Also for the first time in several years a student entered the Extem- pore contest, and upon short notice at that. But when one is informed that the student was Fred Roth -- the man behind the voice -A one scarcely need be told that our contestant carried off top honors. In the declamation contest, Mary Kate McMaster did not fare so well, Etna furnishing the victor. Our interpreters of the Shakespearean and Poetry readings jour- neyed to Coraopolis to try their mettle. In these contests, judged by Mr. Chester B. Storey of Schenley, the competition was exceedingly stiff. Mary Kate McMaster reading Night from Byron's Childs Harold, and Janet McMaster reading The Casket Scenes from The Merchant of Venice, were well up in the rankings, although top honors were unattained. This completed a year of excellent work for Sewickley's speakers. Our entrants in the state music league, under the able guidance of Miss Stewart, brought home numerous laurels from the county contest. Those three songsrefs. Kathryn Graham, Kathryn Turn- bull, and Eloise Turnbull fknown as the Girls' Triol sang By Bendemeer's Stream and A Violin is Singing in the Street to rank second in the county. Lennard Paavola, John Scott, Wesley Graham, and Ellsworth Turnbull came in second among the boys' quartets with Dedication and Stars of the Summer Night. And now there arose our musician supreme, our trombonist par excellence - Ellsworth Turnbull of the musical Turnbulls. With masterful technique and delicate shades of feeling he interpreted Atlantic Zephyrs and Old Black Joe on his glittering trombone. accompanied by an excellent pianist, Frances Kazen. First place in the county contest he won with ease: his superb playing carried him to second place in the District of W tern Pennsylvania. A bright future is predicted for this lad. .. M79 lm iw' NSiCf AND Music Every Monday morning between the hours of 10:13 and 11:03 the auditorium resounds with the vocal efforts of some forty-two musically-inclined students, gathered together for their weekly rehearsal. Under the direction of Miss Emily Stewart, assisted by Virginia Graham and Selena Holthaus as librarians, the music is dis- tributed and the many voices are blended into smooth harmony. With such selections as Awake with the Lark, The Miller's Wooing, Soldiers Chorus, and Waterboy, all parts are given a chance to show power in the solos. Many members of the Glee Club were on the Radio Program of May 1. The Boys' Quartet QLennard Paavola, John Scott, Ells- worth Turnbull, Wesley Grahamj , the Girls' Trio QKathryn Graham, Eloise Turnbull, Kathryn Turnbullj, and the A Capella Choir sang in such fashion as to win high compliments: the KDKA announcer referring to the Boys' Quartet especially as the best he had heard. Next in prominence came the Christmas Program, with its impressive candle-lit processional and recessional and the beautiful old carols. which brought the real spirit of Christmas close to all. The Spring Program, yet to come, will further show the advantages of the year's work. With a larger group this year than ever before, Miss Stewart must be congratulated for the great success the year has brought to the Sewickley High School Singers. The members of the Glee Club: Sopranos: Marjorie Brainerd, Laura Bulkeley, Yolanda Bova. Helen Causey, Cecelia Calahan, Margaret Cameron, Kathleen Carter. Betty Dambach, Kathryn Graham, Virginia Graham, Alice Hamilton, Betty Luster, Ruth Merriman, Rebacca Ann Miller, Betsy Rainbow, Nancy Williams, Marjorie Wilson, Betty Wynn, Betty Barclay. Altos: Norma Challis, Selena Holthaus, Robina Mcllvain, Lois McLean, Betty Rogers, Jean Sample, Kathryn Turnbull, Eloise Turnbull. Tenor: Robert Evans, Kenneth Malone, Lennard Paavola, Ray Severance, John Scott, Charles Andrews. Bass: Ted Alexander, Stanley Diggs, Wesley Graham, Leonard Moore, Fred Roth, Ellsworth Turnbull, William Wynn, Ellis Williams, William White. R. E., '37 1 fvvtoc ww- 15 3 'b' A THE S. H. S. GLEE CLUB Sewickley High School is on the air! The thought sent a shiver of intermingled joy and apprehension to the hearts of the thirty-odd musicians and singers assembled in a Pittsburgh radio station. Thrice the gong was struck: the clear voice of the announcer sounded: Station KDKA, Pittsburgh. As a part of the Second Annual Music Festival of the Allegheny County High Schools, tonight we present the Sewick- ley High School orchestra, conducted by Miss Emily Stewart. Their first number will be Mozart's 'Minuet from the E-flat Symphony.' A rapt hush pervaded the tense studio atmosphere as the announcer ceased. Slowly Miss Stewart raised her baton, and with its downward sweep a galaxy of mellow notes floated out over the ether .... The radio broadcast marked the high point of a busy musical year. Other programs, in addition to the regular chapels, were given in connection with the Mid-year and Senior plays, the Sewickley Woman's Club, one of the Sewickley Assembly programs, and the Commencement Exercises. Miss Stewart managed to procure a num- ber of new and beautiful pieces to increase the orchestra's repertoire, among them Mignonette, the Kashmiri Song, the Petite Suite de Ballett, and At the Spinet. Members of the orchestra: Violins-Kathryn Graham, Kathryn Turnbull, Erwin Hahn, Charles Andrews, Martha Haley, George Drew, John Cimino: 'Cello-Dorothy Morewood: Bass Viol-Jack Williamson: Trombone-Ellsworth Turnbull: Trumpets-Eloise Turnbull, Leonard Moore, Lennard Paavola. Francis Haley, Ellis Williams: Clarinets+William Fowler, Jack Luzadre: Piano4 Frances Kazen, Virginia Graham: Drums-Williams Gehres. Perhaps not to be considered with the regular orchestra, but certainly a related organization, was the Jazz Band. Its members, Eloise, Kathryn, and Ellsworth Turnbull, Leonard Moore, Lennard Paavola, Erwin Hahn, Charles Andrews, Louis Valenzi, Williams Gehres, and Jack Williamson, evolved their own swing renditions of popular songs. Their subtle syncopation was a feature of our exchange programs at Leetsdale, Avalon, Bellevue, and Coraopolis, as well as local chapels. Worthy of especial mention were the Girls Trio, the silver trombone o Ellsworth Turnbull, and the hot trumpet of Chink Moore. D THE SENIOR ORCHESTRA To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character and to stand together for the four-square development of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Picture, if you will, a group of merry lads playing games around a roaring fire. A joyous shout suddenly brings them running for weenies, doughnuts, and, cider. Now they rend the air with hearty voices raised in song. Minutes later they stand in respectful silence as Mr. Lee Gaskins of the Cory Y speaks briefly and well on Hi-Y duties. The occasion? That titanic shindig, the Hi-Y Jamboree. grand opener of the Hi-Y year. 1 And now we see a solemn ritual taking place. Blindfolded, the uninitiated members are marched slowly into a dark room. Deeply impressed, they listen while a clear voice from the blackness tells them of Christ and of His teachings. Suddenly the bandages are slipped off, and the new members gaze with awe upon the illuminated triangle and cross shining through the darkness - the symbol of the Hi-Y. But hark! We hear sweet music, faintly shuffling feet, muffled voices. Some four-score happy couples are swaying and gliding to the subtle rhythms of Brad Hunt's tg and gh music. Soft lights, beautiful decorations meet the eye: the atmosphere is tingling with romance. It is a never-to-be-forgotten event f the Hi-Y Dance. Such a mixture of the serious and the gay made up the '36-'37 Hi-Y year. Weekly meetings featured song session, business meeting, entertainment, devotions, and discussions. The Club owes a debt of gratitude to its capable executives, Jack Brand, president: Fred Roth, vice president, and Neal Clay, secretary: and to its sponsors: Mr. Ted Borger, Mr. Russel Senn, Mr. William Duncan, Mr. Rex- ford Danner, and Mr. Fred Brand, Jr. To next year's officers, William White, Alden Adams, and Ralph Nauman, we wish the best of luck for another rip-snorting Hi-Y Club. W. E. F., '37 0 5 THE SEWICKLEY l'll:Y CL U To meet life squarely: to ind and give the best. With an enrollment of forty-two members the Girl Reserves have had a happy and successful year in spite of several handicaps such as the scarlet fever quarantine. They tried to make the meet- ings not only a time for social life but also a place where all could really accomplish something worth while. In the fall Play Day when fifty girls were entertained, in the Guest Night for Avalon when Mrs. Campbell made Victoria Regina livc for us, in the trip to Glenwillard to help in the Recognition Ser- vice for a new club, we showed our neighborliness. In the Harvest Hop, the Spring Dance, the skating party at West View. the Movie Party, and a swimming party. we showed our social trend. Mrs. Atwell, Miss Patton, and our favorite Miss Ruoff were guest speakers. We instituted the use of strict Parliamentary rules, though we were not very faithful in the follow-up. We initiated Interest Groups- Tap dancing, Singing, Handcraft. and Dramatics, and several meetings found busy groups at work in these sections. Much interest was shown in the making of the song sheets which were later used faith- fully. And the Scrap Book was planned for the remembering of all these events. Miss Jones, Miss Kerr, and Mrs. Williams, with Mrs. Mahood oh hand for the dinners. were a great help this year. One of the last meetings of the year was the election of officers for the coming year with Laura Bulkeley as President: Betty Rogers. Vice President: Robina Mcllvain, Secretary: Elizabeth See, Treas- urer: Mary Alice Balles, Social Chairman: Mary Ducey, Program Chairman: and Delphine Wehrum, Council Representative. It is hoped that the club is headed for a bigger and better year with the newly decorated and painted Annex. The officers for this year were: Margaret Cameron, President: Lois Wright. Vice President: Lois Gregg, Secretary: Ruth Stoffel, Treasurer: Mary Kate McMaster, Social Chairman: Laura Bulkeley, Program Chairman: and Delphine Wehrum, Council Representative. L. A. G., '37 DTHE GIRL RESERVES The primary aim of The Oracle, the high school columns in the weekly Sewickley Herald, is to bring to students and towns- people news of the school. Thus activities, large and small, inter- ests of varied sort, purposes undertaken and achieved, are stressed. Item: bring individual students to the fore whenever possible. Election of oflicials, rather delayed this year, resulted in the school's choice of Mary Jackson as editor and Jean Handy as assistant editor. The plan of two staffs used in recent years was changed this year to a more compact order. All reporters reported to the business meeting held regularly on Tuesday evening when a survey of the week's activities was made and assignments handed out. With all reporters on the job all the time, it was felt, little of news value would escape. The result has been a complete record of the year: at least as checked with the weekly calendar. Many smaller items may have been overlooked+the staff hopes not many. Several exchanges were received with interest- The Newster of Neville Township, The Observer of Aliquippa, The Sil- houette of Ambridge, The Veronique of St. Veronica, Moon- beams of Moon Township. The staff this year included Emma Maruca and Frederic Meyer as senior class reporters: Laura Bulkeley, Jean Miller, and Raymond Rainbow as junior class reporters: Betty Jean Haley and George Phillips, sophomores: Ruth Walker and Billy Mooney, freshmen. Charles Forcey brought reports from seventh grade. Sports which demand great care and constant reporting are assigned to a special worker. Paul Bemis was in charge throughout the football season, since when Bob Martin, aided occasionally when work pressed by Frederic Meyer, has been a faithful observer and recorder. Publication in The Herald is possible through the kindness of the publisher, Mr. Nevin. Thanks go to The Herald for this opportunity for permanent records of school life in its details. M. J., '37 THE HIGH SCHOOL ORACLE STAFF The Stage Guild this year, under the guidance of Mr. Stroup lgFaculty Advisorl and under the leadership of William Wynn LManageril and Charles Ruff fAssistant Managerj, has upheld the record of efficiency and service set by Stage Guilds in the past. When any activity in the auditorium is in the near future, whether it be debate, play, or assembly program, school event or public occasion. the work of the Stage Guild begins. There are sets to be papered, repaired, or remodeled. The lights must be in perfect order, and some- times special lighting effects must be obtained. Hours of hard work on the part of these boys terminate in a few brief moments in the presentation of the play. The busiest days of the Stage Guild members occurred during the weeks previous to the two school plays, Bashful Bobby and The Swan. The latter, especially, demanded many an afternoon, even- ing, and even several Saturdays as the difHcult set was constructed. The Kiwanis Play, Seventeen, was also indebted to the Stage Guild for much of its effectiveness. Needless to say, the various lamps, tables, chairs, etc., needed for the productions Qreferred to as stage props l required an undeterminable amount of rummaging. The Guild, which consists of William Wynn, Charles Ruff, Walter Bower, Neal Clay, Frederick Meyer, William Barger, Donald Campbell, David Galey, Albert Hunt, Glenn Peiffer, Richard Doughty, Elmer Fisher, Robert Nyberg, Norman Brown, William MacDonald, Edwin Smith, and Max Maust, is divided into special committees such as fly-gallery, stockroom, storage gallery, switch- board, and spot-light. This specialization makes for more efficient accomplishment of stage duties. At least one Guild member is on hand at all public gatherings in the auditorium. So now you know whom you saw rushing around before assemblies, climbing over the stage at odd hours, and pounding nails down in the stock room - 'twas Bill Wynn and his Stage Guilders. W. B., '38 lfjv Q THE WIHI STAGE GUILD Con-cen-trate: con-cen-trate. You are no longer Bob Downing. You are Lochinvar, the great lover! Do you understand? Lochin-- var! These were the words which brought about the climax of the three-act comedy ifor students onlyb which constituted this year's Senior Play 7 a side-splitter indeed. It is the story of a very retiring young man, Robert Downing tFred Meyerl who nurses a secret passion for a certain young lady, Helen fRuth Stoffelb, the lady in question, is becoming a bit impa- tient with Bob's shyness, despite her affection for him. Here they are, among a crowd of young people, at a house party on the country estate of Helen's aunt, Miss Matilda Matthews fElizabeth Padovesel 1 the scenery may be romantic, but Bobby isn't. Two friends, Jim Bradley CRay Schlentnerb and Harry Collins QClinton Sickelerih, decide to do something about poor Bob's afflic- tion. Accordingly they make use of the latter's strange hypnotic power, first practicing on the dignified butler, Judson CJohn Whar- reyl and the old-fashioned chaperon, Miss Odessa Henworthy fSelena Holthausi, with convulsing results. Then comes the transformation of Bashful Bobby into Lochinvar, the great lover. Lochinvar com- plicates matters by proposing not only to Helen, as was expected, but also to Helen's two friends, Anne 1Frances Mudersib and Joan Sanford 1Jean Handyl, In addition he beats up a rival and bully, Jerry Roebuck lJames Baumgartell: and astounds the maid 1Mary Jacksonl. The situation becomes more complex when attempts to bring Bob out of his trance prove futile. Madame Dupont, a professional hypnotist 1Emma Marucal is summoned to turn the trick: and happily, although unhypnotized Bob retains his freedom from the shyness of old. The situation is straightened out, Bob seconds his proposal, and the final moment finds Helen nestled in the arms of her 'great lover'+Bashful Bobby no more. J. H., '37 UBASHFUL BOBBY The Spring Play was of a far more serious nature than was Bashful Bobby. The Swan in its original cast included Eva Le Gallienne, Philip Merivale, and Basil Rathbone, playing a most successful season in l923. It is a test of true acting ability. The story takes place in a mythical European Kingdom in the castle of Princess Beatrice tJean Handyil, who is most anxious to have her daughter, Princess Alexandra kBetsy Rainbowl, marry hand- some Prince Albert LNeal Clayj. But the Prince, in spite of all Beatrice's maneuvers, seems to pay no more attention to Alexandra than to any other member of the royal family. As a last resort, to provoke Albert into showing at least some sign of interest, the boys' tutor, Dr. Agi LRichard Evansl. is invited to the reception in honor of the Prince's departure, where Alexandra shows preference for the tutor. But something unforeseen happens. The Professor is secretly in love with the Princess. Many new angles develop, with Prince Albert not quite knowing what it is all about. The next day Princess Maria Dominica QShirley Clipsonl. Albert's dominant mother, arrives to discuss the marriage of her son to Alexandra. But first Beatrice's delightfully naive idea must be explained by her sympathetic brother. Father Hyacinth QWillian1 Hitel. The disillusioned Professor takes his departure, and Albert is free to follow the dictates of his heart. George and Arsene lgCharles Andrews and George Vincent? , boy- like, are always mentioning the unmentionable. Many comedy touches are suppled by Beatrice's sister, Symphorosa QLois Greggl. Count Lutzen QLawrence La Spadaj, the Prince's alarm clock, coughed him out of bed every morning. The servants were Caesar QFrank Marucal and ladies-in-waiting QBetty Wynn and Delphine Wehruml. Count Wunderlich blames Padovesel attended the Prince, Lois Wright was a capable student director. S. C., '37 AND THE SWAN Yowsah! Them thar rustics of the range, them rootin' tootin' high-falutin' marvels of the mountings, were on hand again this year. Trained, disciplined, and otherwise instructed by the untiring Pappy Gill, the originator and sponsor of this famous organization, the '36-'37 edition of the club consisted of a widely varied accumulation of musical talent. Prominent among its ranks were the oflicers: Bill Hire, President: Charles Ruff, Vice-President: Erwin Hahn, Secretary and Treasurer: and John Scott, Business Manager. They steered the music-makers through a riotous year. Let us peek into the Biology room and observe a practice session. A soft pleasing chord attracts our ear, while the pursuing eye per- ceives two cousins merrily strumming upon guitars - Louis and Albert Valenzi. On their left we lind a duet of Stradivarians sawing away in capable fashion, Erwin Hahn and Charley Andrews. Bear- ing to the right we come upon John Scott and Bill Von Hofen, strain- ing lustily into their harmonicas. Behind the golden barrage of vocalization appear Lennard Paavola and Wesley Graham, song birds extraordinaryg while Dixon Copeland, Harry Blake, Joe Hammer, and Calvin Richards cheerfully gazook on their gazookas. The piercing twang of the Jew's-harp proceeds from Austin Haushalter in the back row, where, thimbling a staccato tattoo on his washboard, and offering occasional hillbilly shouts, sits that inevitably grinning rascal, Bill Hite. Always ready to throw on their overalls, grab up their instruments and go to town, the aforementioned mountaineers did much to make Sewihi social functions successful. Their outstanding achievement was, of course, the memorable Hill-Billy Hop. ln addition they appeared on chapel programs and were generally in demand. A new act this year featured Harry Blake and Dixon Copeland as the mountain boys, whose weird humor kept the audience in tears between the musical UD selections. That inimitable ivory-tickler, Chuck Ruff, was frequently present to offer piano selections of any description and liven up the proceedings. And so we take leave of a merry group of men from the hills- a band of lads who make music like they does in thar mountingsf' THE HIGH SCHOOL H BILL A mournful frown overspread Mr. Hawes' usually rosy counte- nance. Sadly he reminisced of his champions of l935-6, the mighty team which numbered among its ranks such names as Rector, Rigby, Sprague, Nyberg, and Engel - masters all. The good professor sighed as he looked at the group of inexperienced Juniors and Sophs gathered to learn to play the grand old game. Then, with weary heart, he threw himself into his task. But, as days passed, the frown disappeared: and, if not replaced by a smile, at least a more cheery expression resulted. His squad of William Neely, Jack Luzadre, Robert Bond, Chapin Heumann and Leonard Bartlotti was by no means a team of which to be ashamed. Inexperienced they were, but how they strove to improve! Drilling every night, they grew stronger as the days passed and finally became ripe for combat. But alas - although Mr. Hawes and Secretary Luzadre tried their best to secure games. other schools passed one excuse after another for not wanting to play. They obviously thought the strong team of '36 was still in school. Finally a game was secured with Carnot. After a hard tight. our Chessmen triumphed by 3-21 Later occurred another combat with Carnot, in which the tables were turned, 2-3. Then, just to be different, the Sewihi team played a game with Carnot. The result - a tie, 3-3. A disastrous defeat by the Oak Leafs wound' up the season. Despite this apparently unimpressive record, the '37 Sewihi Chess Team played a lot of chess, had a lot of fun, and got a lot of pointers for next year. Beside their abbreviated schedule, the Chess- ers. held two tournaments among themselves, which proved extremely interesting. Many were the heated discussions which arose. only to be settled by the arbitrary hand of the Professor. As Mr. Hawes looks forward to next year, his smile broadens from ear to ear. With a year's experience under their belts, his Chess team will prove a redoubtable foe to any antagonist. So look out, Carnot! X -CX THE SEWIHI CHESS TEAM THE SENIOR ASSEMBLIES Another year has ended, leaving behind it a varied array of chapel programs which displayed not only the talents of Sewickley students, but of those from other schools as well. The first chapel of the year was a repetition of the age-old custom of the reading of the rules by Mr. Conway. The purpose of this program is to help the new students in finding their way about the building, and to refresh the minds of the older students as to how a person should and should not act during school hours. Those rules may have been heard many times, but there is always something that we students have forgotten and need to be reminded of. On October first came the Student Council installation. Candles were lighted from the large one carried by The Spirit of Sewickley, not only by the council members but also by representa- tives of each home room. This ceremony sym- bolizes the closerelationship of council, student body, and school. Then, our school interest was naturally cen- tered around football. In an attempt to have bigger and better pep meetings, the student body received the most stirring surprise and thrill it has ever had. The famous Jock Sutherland, head football coach at Pittsburgh University. visited the High School to give a stirring, infor- mal talk before the great Cory game. Another such event featured Mr. Hawes, Poet Supreme. While mentioning pep meetings, the ones held before our basketball games will also be remembered, especially that hilarious tableau of the happy and unhappy Babies -Paul Bemis, Calvin Richards, Alden Adams, Ray Milligan. Nearly all the pro- grams of this type ended in a rousing song ses- sion, when the student body had a chance to show its talents, and certainly sang loud and clear. Another outstanding treat of the year was the showing of that grand old silent Hlm, The King of Kings, produced by Cecil B. DeMille. This beautiful and impretsive pageant dealt with the life of Christ and His disciples. Before our eyes His wonderful deeds were unfolded. Most of the famous and best-loved Bible stories were shown. through His death. Thanks to Mr. Jordan for bringing us such a hne picture. One of the most entertaining programs this year was the chapel devoted to extemporaneous speeches. A few of the topics were Night Life, Books, Knitting, I talk too Much, Should the NRA be Revivedf' and several on Sports, The program was a lot of fun E maybe because we like to see the startled looks on the faces of the victims. Dr. W. D. Baley, on a tour around the United States, talked to the students concerning the vice and harm of drinking. He drew many intriguing diagrams, explaining them as he went along. He proved that the best kind of gin is a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. His talk will long be remembered, both for its humor and educational value. The Committee had more success this year than ever before with its exchange programs with the other high schools, even though these were inter- rupted by the scarlet fever epidemic. Leetsdale presented a play entitled Two Crooks and a Lady, while Avalon presented a melodrama. Bellevue also exchanged. A melodrama entitled And the Lamp Went Out was prepared by a group of our students to take to the other schools. Along with it went our very popular orchestra, the Swing High Jazz Orchestra. This program proved immensely popular and was presented many times. Other special programs were in celebration of special days. Thanksgiving had its special music and pageant: Christmas its favorite carols from Glee Club, German classes, and assembly and a charming Christmas play: Book Week, Miss Lau- man as guest speaker. One-act plays were pre- sented. Mr. Iffert brought us Chevrolet films. The crowning success of the year was the pre- sentation of the play Bashful Bobby, for the students of the school only. It was directed by a Committee under the supervision of Mr. Stroup. Since it included an all-Senior cast, it was also known as the Senior play. Due to the success of Bashful Bobby, such plays will probably be continued in future years. The final chapel of the year was held solely for the giving of awards. Signifying the end of such work for the Senior Committee men, all are sure that next year's experienced workers will try to rival this year's splendid success. L. W., '37 In the Junior High School, chapels were few this year: but entertaining. The most interesting included a play with courtesy as its moral: two exceedingly humorous extemporaneous speaking sessions Qchills for the few and mirth for the manyj: a comedy Hello, Grandma! : and the Hill Billy program, with jokes by the mountain boys fBlake and Copelandj and music by the band. The program committee, Ruth Klicker, Dorothy Lourimore, Gerald Moses, Norman Brown, Dan Davis, Philip Berg, and Dorothy Wilson, with William Beck as chairman, has done well. AND SOCIAL EVENTS THE JUNIOR PROM OF 1936 A pleasant memory for the Class of '37 to carry away with them is the successful Prom they gave last year for the Class of '36. The place, the Dorian Club: the event, the Junior Prom given by the Class of 1937 for the Class of 1936: the date, May 22, 1936: the time, 9 P. M.: P. S.. everyone was there. At nine, gay Juniors and Seniors entered the club ballroom, which was decorated in coral and silver, the class colors. Vari-colored balloons hung in every corner and on the platform. Carl Leech and his orchestra were playing a peppy tune. Everyone got in line for the Grand March led by the Junior Class President, Jack Brand, and his partner, Betsy Rainbow. Time flew, and before we knew it punch and cookies were brought in and consumed. All too soon the remaining dances were over, and it was time to say good- bye. Another year had passed and another Prom: yet long will the happy memories linger. Credit must go to Lois Gregg, social chairman for the Class of '37, her committees, and the, chaperons. FOOTBALL BANQUET For the first time in eight years the entire Sewickley High School football team was honored by a banquet as a reward for the successful season it had recorded. The dinner, sponsored by the faculty, alumni, and friends, was held at the Elmhurst Inn, and was one of the gala events of the year. Decorations, an orchestra, singing, and outstanding speakers were included in the even- ing's celebration. Dinner was followed by musical entertainment. Paul Kurtz, of the Pittsburgh Press, and W. C. Evans, president of the W. P. I. A. L., were the principal speakers with the coaches, faculty, alumni, and players giving inter- esting comments on the football season. All in all, the :ffair was a huge success, and the team is highly appreciative. J. B., '37 ALUMNI DANCE Christmas time always brings memories of the Alumni Dance. It has become a tradition at S. H. S, to have a dance for students and alumni at Christmas. This year it was held in the gym on December 23. Many alumni attended, and, of course, there were a great many students. The gym was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees in the corners. Hansel Curcio and his orchestra helped make the dance a success. A novel feature was handmade programs, very cleverly done by the committee. Many of us remember with pleasure the reunion we had with our former school mates in an evening which was a great success. STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE Our alert student council has inaugurated an entirely new form of entertainment - an informal dance for students only, on certain Friday even- ings from 8 until ll P. M. The first dance took place in the gym on Friday, January 22. The music during .the early part of the evening was furnished by the P. A. System, kindly lent by Mr. Iffert: and later by Willis Shook and Ray Severance, with Bill Hite using a waste-paper basket for an effective drum. The crowning events of the evening were two solos, one sung by Smoky Williams and the other by Katherine Winegardner. The fun was over all too soon. Although there were only seventeen couples pres- ent, all who attended voted heartily for the con- tinuance of these dances. THE HILL-BILLY HOP The Second Student Council Dance was a complete success. Everyone was told to come dressed as a Hill Billy. At eight o'clock on Feb- ruary 26th, gay mountaineers trooped down to the gym, which was hardly recognizable with straw spread over the floor, cornstalks in the cor- ners, and kegs scattered- around. After some singing the couples formed a lively grand march. Easy Milligan, the Master of Ceremonies, then presented Lois Gregg with a harmonica for the best costume. The Hill Billy Band struck up. and a four group Virginia Reel took place. Dur- ing a rest period Wesley Graham sang several selections. Then the group was again divided into four sections and games were led by Mr. Winne. The rustic part of the evening ended with a general exodus into the hall, where cocoa and doughnuts were served. When we again entered the gym, the straw had been swept away, and Shook's Shakers provided music for dancing, Thus the last hour passed rapidly. The large attendance certainly proves that the student body likes social events. Credit must go to the two orchestras, the teachers, the refreshment committee of Mary Kate McMaster, Mary Jackson, Jean Miller, and Wilma Wagner: to the decorating committee headed by Alden Adams, Jack Williams, and Easy Milli- gan for keeping things going: to Mrs. Richard- son for the doughnuts: and to Ralph Nauman and Laura Bulkeley, Social Chairmen: for without them there could have been no Hop! Each year the students of the Junior High School choose members of their own classes to represent them in their student governing body. Those elected form a highly representative group which has the experience of helping to make and enforce rules for student actions: and the others gain an understanding of the responsibilities of the voter and the use and power of the ballot. Thus they put into practice what will be their duty and privilege in the tomorrow. The Council is usually composed of thoughtful students, and this year's governing group is no exception. Its members are as follows: William Mooney, president of the Boys and Combined Councils: Robert Fullman, vice-president: Robert Galey, secretary-treasurer: members of the Boys Councilfpeter Murdoch, Abner Rainbow, Arthur Wilson, James McDonald, William Honhold, and Lawrence Tiernan. The members of the Girls Council: Dorothy Lourimore, president of the Girls and vice-president of the Combined Council: Pauline Garey, vice-president: Marjorie Over, secretary-treasurer: Barbara Forcey, Mary Hurd, Mignon McVicker, Mary Brown, Julia Richmond, and Jean Thompson. The faculty advisors for the two groups are Mr. Duncan and Miss Simpson, In a solemn ritual early in the year the members of the Council were inducted into ofiice. Solemnly they pledged their loyalty to the Student Council with the keywords of Cooperation, Service, Sports- manship, Courtesy, Friendliness, Courage, and Character, These principles served as their code throughout the year. W. M., '40 C THE JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL The Junior High School Orchestra has been a successful organi- zation this year despite the fact that its personnel was reduced by that school-rocking occurrence early in the year. Jack Morewood, a very accomplished musician and perhaps the orchestra's best, made that unhappy return trip to the grade school building with his comrades of the unlucky seventh. Walter Gray, another violinist, went with him: while Robert Eaton, although in seventh grade, managed to return occasionally to help out with the fiddles. Shortage of players has made three-piece practices common. The bewildered stranger who wonders into the auditorium on Tuesdays, third period, is greeted by a salvo of band music worthy of a full orchestra. When, after blinking twice, he still perceives only three musicians, his amazement knows no bounds. Should he inquire of Miss Stewart the names of her youthful proteges, he would discover that the piano player was Beatrice Kozar, the trumpeter Seymour Robertson, and the violinist Robert Fullman, and, to use their own words, they can go to town. When the full enrollment of the Orchestra, Junior High edition. is present, we find its members number seven. They are: Beatrice Kozar, Piano: Seymour Robertson, Wesley Graham, and David See, Trumpets: Markham Conway, Robert Fullman, and Bobby Eaton. Violins, Despite their depleted ranks, the able hand of Miss Stewart and the ability of the few have brought about an orchestra which merits universal approval. S.

Lame boy solicits ride THE 1936 saw a new and superlative brand of football displayed by old Chief Sewihi. One of the most suc- cessful teams in S, H. S. history smashed through a heavy schedule to emerge with a great record of seven wins, two ties, and one defeat. Although we lost the first game to the strong Class AA Jeannette team, the school may well be proud of the way its footballers fought in the face of heavy odds, A brief synopsis of games played will speak volumes concern- ing the quality of the Team of '36. In the first quarter of the Jeannette game, after an exchange of punts and a blocked kick, Jeannette gained possession of the ball and marched inexorably down the field for the first score. Then came Sewickley's chance as Massey showed some fine off-tackle running and Bova plunged through center to the thirty yard stripe. But four downs were insufficient for the next ten yards, and the opportunity was gone. Although the reserves fought doggedly, the second half saw two more scores by the Jeannette powerhouse. The final score: 18-O. Following lots of encouragement from Mr. Stroup, a rejuvenated eleven met Oakmont and crushed her to the tune of 32-0, Massey and Martin, the two key men, held the boys together by their brilliant play. Bova made the first counter in the opening quarter: while half-time saw the count 12-O. The second half continued the slaughter as Massey scored on a line plunge and Ingram swept around end for a spectacular touchdown, Sewickley blocked a kick in the closing minutes, and Buzz Wachter II romped over for the final marker. The line played a bang-up game, The sons of Sewihi added another triumph to their list when they swept aside Edgewood, 25-O. The seven mules featured in this game by not allowing Edgewood to get a first down. Bova, playing a ster- ling game at fullback, crossed the last line twice. In the third period, first Massi and then Ingram dodged and ducked and twisted their way for long scoring runs. Barber made the single conversion. For the first time in fourteen years Bellevue fell before the mighty Red and Blue eleven. After a fifty yard march Ingram pushed across the one and only touchdown. The game was a thriller, with the raging Bellevuites held on the one-yard line by an impene- trable Sewickley stone wall. A week later Zelienople presented S. H. S. with an- other brilliant victory. Mr. Ingram featured by amassing eighteen points, while a pass interception by Bova resulted in another six. The foe managed to tally once. FOOTBALL TEAM OF In the next game we defeated the up-river lads from Avalon by a 6-0 score. A hard-fought battle seemed about to result in a scoreless tie when suddenly, in the nnal period, Ingram faded back and whipped a pass to Vescio for the touchdown. I-Ialey and Lee featured the defensive work. But alas! The little lads from Leetsdale eliminated Sewickley from the Class B title fight by a scoreless tie. Over-confident from previous successes, the team was impotent against inspired Leetsdale play. Finally, in the closing moments, the S. H. S. footballers rallied and plunged to the one-yard line - but the timer's gun robbed them of victory by a second. Another blemish on a fine record was the game with Freedom. In the second quarter Sewickley took the ball on the Freedom thirty and drove over for a touch- down. In the same period, Freedom, its line plays smothered by Martin, Guilot, and Co., took to the air and scored on a long pass, The game dragged on to a 6-6 conclusion. Aroused from his temporary let-down, Chief Sewihi massacred the forces of Ben Avon, 27-0. The passing combination of Massey to Vescio clicked for a six- pointer in the second period. Bova smashed through for the second score, while Massey darted off tackle for 45 yards and touchdown number three later on. The speedy Aston made another counter near the final whistle. Bova netted three conversions. Excitement ran high as the Cory game arrived. In- flamed with a fiery lust for victory, the legions of Sewihi swept over the enemy with unstoppable fury. Touchdowns flashed to right and left as Massey, Bova, Ingram, and Lee sprinted through the gaping holes made by the linemen. Massey went over first after Vescio had recovered a punt. Minutes later another march sent Bova plunging for a touchdown. Ingram opened up and twisted his way for a sensational third marker. The invincible Bova flung himself over again as the game neared its close. When the dust cleared away, Cory had been smothered by the overwhelming margin of 27-O on its own field, and a long line of defeats had been avenged. The past twelve years have not seen a more satisfying triumph. Perhaps the best football team in two decades was in no small measure due to the efforts of its coaches, Mr. Stroup, Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Thome: of its man- agers, Brand, Bemis, Pollinger, DeGori, and Lutz: and of its honorary captain, Smoky Williams.

COACHES: Mr. Stroup, Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Thome. MANAGER: Jack Brand. ASSISTANTS: George Pollinger, Paul Bemis, Michael DeGori, Vincent Lutz. FIRST AID: Ted Alexander. CURTIS BRANCH Right End Tall, husky, fast, Curtis is a three- year letterman. His powerful arms and clever footwork spelled univer- sal disaster for enemy sweeps around right end. His offensive work was scintillating. The squad will miss Curtis. MARSHALL GEORGE Right Tackle Two hundred and twenty-five pounds of dynamite describes this hulkinglad. Our idea of the im- movable object, the gentleman read- ily handled any plays aimed near his position. Tore should be unbeatable next fall. JOHN BARBER Right Guard John played crack football this sea- son. A happy-go-lucky fellow on the practice field, game time found him earnest and calculating. The Barber motto: They shall not pass! Alertness and dependability make him a fine guard. HENRY SACCO Center Lip made the center of the Se- wickley line a mighty unhealthy place for hostile backfleld men. Although a bit wild early in the season, he soon calmed down and floated the ball back in fine shape. Sewihi loses a lot of center. CAPTAIN BOB MARTIN Left Guard Fiery, keen, with a fighting heart, Punch seems a good nickname for this little fellow. His indomitable spirit spurred his comrades on to victory. Captain Bob was in every play. We shall not soon see his like again. GEORGE HALEY Left Tackle Another great asset to an iron line is Pop. For two years he has been a deadly tackler and a beautiful all-around player. When Pop gets his Irish up the opposition had bet- ter go 'round. Haley's return is something to crow about. JAMES GUILOT Left End A two-year varsity-man, Jimmy is one of the best ends Sewickley has produced. His faultless blocking paved the way for many a tooth- some gain. The defensive work? Tops, as well. Lucky will be the college team that gets Sir Jim! DICKIE LEE Right Halfbach Lee, a hard-working and versatile man, has been out for football four years. He was changed in mid- season from line to backfield and graces either position. Dick's tre- mendous speed and whole-hearted play featured in every game. VINCENT BOVA Fullback Patsy, a powerful fullback, smashes through any and all lines impartially, When the going gets tough, Mr. Bova can be counted on to cover those last few hardest yards. Against Cory especially he was superb. ALBERT MASSEY Quarterback His keen generalship has had 'no small part in a long line of victories. A smooth ball-carrier, he was calm and cool in the pinches. Albert sel- dom failed to call the right play at the right time. Graduation will leave a big hole in the backfleld. DAVID INGRAM Left Halfback Twisting, turning, feinting. Ingram swept through all opposition. In a broken field Dave is a slippery flash. At hurling the pigskin he is a whiz: Ingram to Vescio recorded many a long gain. Dave's first year has been eminently successful. SUBSTITUTES A powerful supporting cast backed up our featured performers. Jerry Vescio, a rugged end, was a demon on the offense. His uncanny ability to snare those passes meant many a yard for S, H. S. Brilliant work and sterling sportsmanship charac- terized the performance of Dick Brown at the terminal position. Kirk, another end, played like a veteran when substituted. At tackle, Easy Milligan shifted his ponderous bulk around with amazing agility. Guard Buzzy Wachter II was a capable replace- ment for the brilliant Martin. Alden Adams, who worked in center posi- tion, diagnosed and smothered enemy plays nicely. The shifty ball-carrying of James Padovese showed great promise for '37. Great work, boys! THE BASKETBALL TEAM Considering the stiff competition and important key men out in vital games, Sewickley made a good show- ing in this year's basketball season, finishing fourth in Section XI of the W. P. I. A. L. Sewickley started out with three straight wins and then dropped the next two with DeVere Johns, captain and crack guard, out of action due to illness. The team then won the next two with a better than ten point advantage each game. After losing the next game to Bellevue, runner-up in Class B, they immediately got back on right footing by winning the following two. Losing the next game to Leetsdale, thus banishing all hopes of taking the section, they seemed to lose their zip and dropped three of the last four games, The team looked better on the floor than its won and lost column might indicate. They had two of the best defensive guards in the league in Johns and Massey: two of the best point-making forwards in Brand and Vescio, who together scored over half of the team's points: also the most comical center, in Moore, who, by the way, was a demon on offense. Branch, Lee, Sacco, Haley, and Bova, the second five, kept the varsity moving fast to hold their positions. Lee and Haley filled in nicely when the regulars were out of the lineup. Lost by graduation will be Johns, Brand, Massey, Moore, Branch, Lee, and Sacco: with Vescio, Haley. and Bova the only experienced men for next season. Letter men: Johns, Brand, Moore, Massey, Vescio, Lee, Sacco, Branch, Haley, Bova.

Our continued success is mainly due to the coaching efforts of Mr. Harris B. Winne. The school is greatly indebted to this smiling, busy man for its record of athletic prowess. This year's crop of gymnasts - Egler, Watson, Maruca, Gehres, Morgan, Nauman, Novak, White, Hahn, Ingram, Whaley, Witzleb-first engaged in com- petition at a Pittsburgh Community House on a Feb- ruary evening. The W. P. I. A. L. Meet then held proved a complete triumph for the S. H. S. boys, who captured three places in three events-just half the meet: Bar: Ingram first, Whaley second, White third: Rings: White first, Ingram, second, Novak third: Indian Clubs: Gehres first, Maruca second, Hahn third. A week later these six lads QHahn being illb journeyed to Slippery Rock for the regional meet. Here success again attended their efforts, Ingram winning top honors on the rings and second on the bar, White third on the rings, and Gehres first with the clubs. Then came the event of the year, the state gymnastic finals at Penn State. It was a frightened but happy group of gentlemen who reached State Friday aft-:rnoon and slept in fraternity houses that night. The follow- ing afternoon, against eighty competitors representing seventeen schools, the sons of Sewihi amassed the third highest point total in the state. This was outstanding in that the two higher schools had a far greater number of representatives at the meet. Dave Ingram ranked third on the bar, while Hahn took second with the Indian Clubs. The other five boys, while not holding top positions, turned in satisfactorily high scores. Information as to the exercises indulged in by our apparatus acrobats might interest the reader. In addi- tion to certain required feats, each man selects an optional exercise of his own, Ingram's diflicult bar optional began as a knee circle which evolved into three front giant swings, a breath-taking pause atop the bar as he reversed, three back giant swings, another reverse and a flyaway. The skill required for this performance can only be appreciated when Dave is seen in person hurtling around the bar. White's optional, another fine exhibition, consisted of a front knee circle, an angel swing, the thrilling giant swing and flyaway Ca ilyaway is a backward somersauit in the airj. On the rings the intrepid Ingram perfected an exer- cise so replete with back levers, front levers, and dislo- cations as to defy description. White and Novak per- formed upstarts, shoulder balances, muscle-ups, and cut- offs. Egler's horse riding featured double leg circles and dismounts: Watson did various flip-flops on the mat. The Clubbers submitted windmill waves and wrist action. Long may they wave! EAM AND THE GOLF TEAM The athletes who hit the little ball with the long stick were at it again this year. With three letter-men back and two capable new men, they had envisioned a super-season: but two early losses ruined a fine chance for sectional honors. The unlucky two matches saw Bridgeville victor by 8 to 7 and Mt. Lebanon supreme by 9 to 6. Winning points for Sewickley in the first match: Brand 3, Johns l, Maruca ZH, and Massi M. The second netted Novak 3, Johns l, Brand M , Maruca IM. In this contest Novak, playing his Hrst match, scored a fine 78 over the St. Clair course. The next two games saw the S. H. S. golfers twice victorious over McKees Rocks, 14-l and I5-0. At the Y. M. C. A., where the first match took place, Johns lost the single point: while at Bon Aire our representa- tives made a clean sweep. Brand and Maruca were low with a pair of 76's, while Johns and Novak scored 77's. A practice match versus Ben Avon resulted in a l4LQ to M victory for the Red and Blue, Sacco losing the lone M point. Sweet revenge came when Mt. Leb- anon, the Section winner, was taken over the hurdles IILQ to 3M on the Allegheny Country Club course. Johns won 3, Maruca 3, Sacco 3, and Novak ZH to total I l M points. Another juicy match brought defeat to Bridgeville by a 12-3 score at the Country Club, the year's last league contest. There Brand pulled in 3 points, Maruca 3, Sacco 3, Novak 2, and Johns l. Final records showed a total of 4 wins and 2 losses to put Sewickley in second place in Section XIII of the W. P. I. A. L. Actually they lost the championship by one point in the first game A- a queer and exasper- ating quirk of fate. In the annual W. P. I. A. L. tournament. held at Youghiogheny Country Club, McKeesport, Jack Brand and Tony Maruca were selected to compete for Sewick- ley. A fine showing was made, Brand scoring an 80 to tie for second medal, while Maruca shot an 86 to finish close behind. As a reward Jock was entitled to go to Penn State for the state Hnals. On the sunny afternoon of May 29 Jack Brand played the best golf of his career. Coming back on the last I8 holes of the Penn State course, he shot a spec- tacular one-over-par 70 to win the Pennsylvania Inter- scholastic Athletic Association Championship. I-Iis total score, 146 for 36 holes, was well out in front of the field of 38 entries, representing ll state districts. Jack is easily the best golfer our high school has produced: and we herewith acclaim him as Sewihi's outstanding athlete of 1937. THE SEWIHI TRACK TEAM During the moisture-laden afternoons of April and early May, a group of boys in shorts might have been seen cavorting about the high school field. Runners dug enthusiastic cleats into the cinders and sprinted around the track. Shot-putters flexed their muscles and grunted as they heaved. Pole vaulters soared skyward and flopped ingloriously in the mud. And ever-present was the tall figure of Coach Rexford Danner, giving the team the benefit of his college track experience. Thirty-seven's record of 3 wins and 1 close defeat assures us that track is well on its way to becoming a major Sewihi sport. The season began with a meet on May 6 at Bellevue, which the local boys won by 54M to 40M. Not so fortunate against Mt. Lebanon, we lost a narrow decision, 47 to 48. Aliquippa was an easy triumph for the S. H. S. runners, 50M to 255. Sewickley versus Aspinwall resulted in another sweep- ing victory, 59 to 36, to finish the regular season. On May 21 seventeen members traveled to South Park to compete in the Allegheny County Track and Field Meet. Here Sewickley took third place. Lee, the Sewickley flash, won first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Barber came in first in the broad jump, second in the 100: while Branch, Nash, and Curtis took thirds in 440, broad jump, and mile, respectively. The fol- lowing day three of the boys went to the Pitt Stadium for the W. P. I. A. L. Track Meet. Amid the stiffest competition, Lee placed third in the 100 yard dash and Barber fifth in the broad jump. After this contest the two were entertained at the Pitt Cafeteria, where they received their medals. The track men who have earned a varsity award are: Floyd Lee, John Barber, Ray Schlentner, Jack Nash, Don Clay, Bill Curtis, David Ingram, Marshall George, Curtis Branch, Williams Gehres, and Alden Adams, Manager. The records for 1937 in all events: 100 yard dash: Lee, 10.2 seconds: 220 yard dash: Lee. 24.2 seconds: 440 yard run: Branch, 55.4 seconds: 880 yards run: D.

A. W. A., '38 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAMS Although the keenest competition for several years was offered, the girls of '37 for the second time won the laurels this past basketball season. Their splendid team under Sara Pryor's management displayed wonder- ful accuracy in shooting, ability to guard well, and cooperation among the players-all requirements for good basketball. For the third successive year the Class of '38, with Betty Miller directing, battled through to a close second place. The Sophomores and their man- ager, Elizabeth See, may well be praised, for they were the sole conquerors of the Seniors. Headed by Marjorie Willison, the Freshmen demonstrated some excellent playing and caused many a worried moment to their opponents. Mary Jackson, '37, being ineligible to par- ticipate because of her many extra-curricular activities. offered her invaluable services as referee. Some of the friendliest spirit, fairest play, and best basketball ever shown in the Sewihi girls' only sport of competitive nature, was demonstrated in the season of 1937. May future years be as profitable. The team standing for 1937: Seniorsfwon 5, lost l: Juniors-won 4, lost 2: Sophomores-won 3, lost 3: Freshmen-won 0, lost 6. Those winning their letters were: Sara Pryor, Lois Wright, Velva Shepler. Ida Knecht, Betty Wynn, Lois Gregg, Ruth Stoffel. Selena Holthaus, Ruth Faust. Frances Muders, Isabelle Jones, Emma Williams, Mary Jackson. In addition to this favorite sport, the girls' gym classes vary their activities with the seasons of the year. Field hockey holds the attention in the autumn days. Although not experts, the girls engage in many literally breathless moments in this exciting sport. Another popular fall game is volley-ball, recently introduced into the program. Interspersed with basketball during the winter is apparatus work on rings, horse, buck, bars, and mats. This year under the new supervisor, Miss Howland, several folk-dances were learned, including the Virginia Reel, an Indian Dance, and the Skater's Waltz. As the days become warmer, the outside world beckons again, offering mushball, track, and field events. Tests for physical efficiency are given in thinning, balance, ball throw, broad-jump, hockey shots, basket- ball shots, and dribbling throughout the year. Although no public notice is given to the girls' athletics, they enjoy their physical education classes fully. I..
