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

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.
