BLANCHARD, Distributor First National Bank Building Sewickley, Pa, Telephone Sewickley 70 QContinued from Page 255 can still see the sign that hung from the door in Chicago - The Trippett Dancing Academy - for males only. Learn to dance the new way. I have heard that their pupils were all graduated with high honors, but the ones who attained the greatest glories were Glynn Causey, Gerard Hegner, Stephen Powner, and Bill Pearce. We enter now the haunted stores of a village. The damp, velvety black of the chill night surrounds us, as stealthily, we creep through the vast floors. The paneless windows admit weird wonders. The eery, piercing call of the Banshee announces the start of the fashion show by models, Catherine Prendergast, Margaret Whiteside, Jean Sample, and Virginia Wolford, showing gowns designed by Margaret Cronin. Ahhh! but calm yourselves, my friends, and hark to the sweet songs of the Andrews' Choir. Charles Andrews, you remember, was that all-around fellow who gave up a Pennsylvania Railroad career for a life of words and music. The all male chorus he has gathered around him includes Charles Merriman, James Padovese, and Sam Stinson. Lennard Paavola and Ellsworth Turnbull have taught many admirers about trombones and trumpets, while Jerry Vescio, another member of the choir, is head coach of the Sleepy Hollow football squad. George Schussler and Halland Winegardner are still trying to stay in aeroplanes, while Glenn Peilfer has been trying to decide for the last sixty years whether to specialize in Aviation or Dentistry. Robert Zahn, Ed Winters, and handsome Wayne Wilson are all comedians on the stage - and popular, too, from the gossip I hear. Harold Morgan is in the town's pool, still swimming. He is so weighted down by medals that he can hardly tow Bill White, who made so many dives for the fairer sex in his youth that now he is sinking. There goes blonde Ray Rainbow into Johnny Myers's Sandwich Shop. Ray is probably taking a rest from bar exams. He's taking an interest in the papers being passed out. They seem to be the latest edition of that famous sheet of Stanley Diggs, who is a second Booker T. Washington. His agency includes Robert Parrish, sports editor, and Charles Parker, who is really going places these days in a success due to his determination, nerve, and hard work. The stream-lined eifort of that gorgeous car that just whizzed by was perfected by the wizard, Albert Hunt. His companions were Helen Thein and Betty Rogers, creators of popular new styles. Times change, but somehow one always recognizes old friends. As the town disappears with the dawn, a feeling of sadness steals over us. So that is the Class of '38I! But here's our guide, Frank Maruca, who sold us the tickets for this tour. He surely merits his name of super-salesman, for no other could have induced us to undertake such a journey. As we finish our tour of investigation, we can hear the deep, prolonged voice of the famous political speaker, Warren Honecker, as he waves and gestures in wild manner of persuasion. Rubbing my eyes from dreary sleep, I remember my thought excursion, And looking around, tore from the town To '38's dinner -- now that is a diversion!! Ninety-seven Ninety-six COMPLIMENTS OF H.w.

An in- teresting program, arranged by Mary Evelyn Ducey and given in the audi- torium consisted of dances, mostly solo, a trombone solo by Ellsworth Turnbull accompanied by Frances Kazen, a violin solo by Jack Morewood accompanied by Dorothy Morewood, and a few selec- tions from the girls' trio -- Dorothy Morewood, Eloise Turnbull and Becky Miller. After the V entertainment, all were served delicious refreshments in the front corridor by the junior girls. This social hour has become one of the very popu- lar features of the commencement festivi- ties. This year's was no exception. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM In the way of social tribute to the Class of '38, the Junior Class, with Joe Tiernan as social chairman, gave the most successful prom ever held in the history of Sewickley High School. June third was the date: the gym the setting. All suggestions of work were hidden from sight by beautiful decorations of blue and white with palms in the corners so arranged as to render the whole atmosphere unique and hospitable. The dance programs were outstandingly done in the same colors as the decorations. In a conspicuous spot was placed an exquisite guest book, made by Mary Alyce Balles and Mary Evelyn Ducey, in which all who attended the dance regis- tered. Miss Hubbell, Miss Bloomfield, Miss Kerr, Mr. Stroup, Mr. Hawes, and the social chairman were in the receiving line to greet the guests. Everyone took time out to admire the corsages of Briar- cliffe roses-the Senior class flowers, pre- sented to the patronesses by the social committee. Enticing strains of music by Johnnie McKay's orchestra floated through the halls, and the couples were soon in place for the grand march, led by the junior class president-Derrill Shankle and his partner, Camille Macaluso. Before it seemed possible, the unwelcome hour had come, when good friends parted after a most enjoyable evening, The major activity in athletics for girls is the season of intra-mural basketball in which class is pitted against class. This year, under the management of Ruth Kaufman, the Senior girls came through to victory. Helen Thein scored the most points for the team and is thereby rated as high player. The iirst time the Sophomores and Seniors competed the score was 8-8. The play-off was postponed until the next date of competition between these two teams. This play-off resulted in another victory for the Senior team with a score of 6-0. The girls on the team have played together for four years with hopes of a victorious season, but each time they have been unsuccessful. This year their hopes were fulfilled under the leadership of their captain, Helen Kedar. These girls found that cooperation of all members is the secret of utmost success. Each member of the team mentioned below is to receive a letter on the basis of quarters played and membership on the squad for the three preceding years.

K., '38 GIRLS' BASKETBALL Sixty-nine Sixty-eight TENNIS While tennis is not an entirely new sport in Sewihi, it had been dropped from the activities for some time. This year an interested group found a faculty sponsor in Mr. Duncan, and it was revived for a year's trial. Recognizing the difference between tennis as a game and as a competitive sport, the squad got down to real practice whenever the rain permitted. Besides doubles demands extra practice as doubly necessary for coordinated action. Feeling the handicap of a few years out of the sport, Sewickley's representatives entered the W. P. I. A. L. tournament. The schedule of events is at last completed after some delays due to the weather, and Sewickley finished in second place in Section II. Hopes point to higher rating next year since lower classmen who made the team this year are gaining valuable experience, the greatest asset after natural ability to judge speed and position. Sewickley played four matches, one an Exhibition match, three with sectional foes. The lirst encounter was with Turtle Creek which has maintained a team for some years and has a highly polished, experienced team. The result was Turtle Creek 4, Sewickley 2, a very good showing considering the competition involved. In the next, a section game. Sewickley swamped Avalon 5-0. The following contest saw Bellevue victorious 4-2. A play-off game to determine championship of Section II was contested with Bellevue which again won 3-2. The team was composed of the following members all of whom gave a good account of themselves: Nauman, Galey, Luzadre, Sincell, Menz, and Conway.

The eagerness to win definite place on the squad .ed to the careful practice which means laurels. A great many of the track men were freshmen who in practice revealed fine promise for the years to come. In the l00 yard dash Barber was back for his third year with his fine speed practically assuring firstsz in the W. P. I. A. L. meet he dropped to second. Whaley, out this year for the first, shows plenty of promise. The 220 conditions iid not give much hope at first but because of the splendid effort made, McPherson md Lee came through in line style, both runners returning next year. The 440 yard run 4 This event requires stamina, speed, and experience :ombined before one can be successful and is the hardest event in Track. Here Peiffer and Brown were fine representatives, while Stone, out for the first, turned in a creditable performance. 880 yard run 4 Green and Barger were top performers in the half mile event. Although meeting tough opposition they held their own well. One mile run - One of Sewickley's strong points. Billy Curtis, breaking the S. H. S.'s record to the fine time of 5:ll.6, and Quinn were usually 1 and 2 in every contest. Myers and Wharrey gave their best and always pressed the leaders. Relays - Lee, Stone, McPherson, Kroepil, Curtis, Green, Peiffer, and Brown took care of a fair share of the season's points. FIELD EVENTS Pole Vault - Otto Witzleb, Harvey King, and Erwin Hahn gave surprising performances in the pole vault which was considered a weak point at first. Hard practice spelled the difference. Shot Put and Discus - Practically all high school teams Sewickley met, had strong contestants in this field, making it very hard for our fellows: despite this fact, Bova, Vescio, Baumgartel and Haley made fine marks in all competition. High Jump E Barber, Vescio, King, and Higgenbotham made it quite tough for opposition to garner points as they turned in higher than average marks for the high school and did justice to the school and themselves. Broad Jump - Although Barber was the outstanding star in the district, Sewickley had three other fine jumpers in Whaley, Lee, and King, and this prac- tially assured the Red and Blue of two places at all times. Managers Johnson, Keith, and Wachter had a real job keeping track and pits in shape advantageous to performers. This and the other duties kept them busy but the job was well handled. TRACK Sixty-six GYM TEAM As is the usual custom of Sewickley High gymnastic teams, this one walker away with all district and regional meets and in the final meet were able to placi two boys in the first three places of their event, a showing that does due honor tc both the school and the boys. After many hard hours of practice in the gym, Coach Winne brought fortl a team to enter the W. P. I. A. L. meet at Greensburg that did everything possibln for such a group. Seven schools were entered in the competition. presenting 51 contestants, with three contestants permitted in each event and one boy only abl4 to enter two events. This ruling if it did anything, hindered Sewickley fron running up a higher score. Nevertheless Sewickley rang up a total of ten places: Winners were: Rings-Ingram, Von Hofen, Novak. Indian Clubs-I-Iahn, Ford Cimino, Horizontal Bars--Ingram, Witzleb, Nauman. Parallel Bars-fWitzleb Total 37 points. The plaque won was presented to the school by Ingram ant accepted by Mr. Stroup. It now hangs on the lower hall wall in company witl those of other years. These boys were eligible then for the Western Regional Meet in which Sewickley placed seven boys who in turn were permitted to enter the state compe- tition. At this point the competition becomes stiffest of all, as only the highest point boys in the state are eligible. Still Sewickley came off the gym floor witl' a first and a third, quite remarkable feats considering the competition. Erwir Hahn was crowned champion of all Indian Club swingers, and David Ingram placed third on the horizontal bar, each receiving beautiful medals for the line worlw attained. Altogether Sewickley enjoyed a very fine season in the gymnastic Held and we hope the team of '39 enjoys as much success. To Bob Dolan, eflicient manager, must go full recognition for the competent handling of equipment and the prepara- tions for the long journeys made by the team. It has been Sewickley's distinct honor to be ranked in the upper bracket of he W. P. 1. A. L. Golf Association ever since its founding. To make sure that he team of '38 would not lose any of the prestige thus attained, the golfers racticed diligently and went into every match with the will to win. They played very round to the best of their ability so that they might cop the section as uickly as possible. This the team did in very short order, as they took on one :am after another, winning every match that they played in the section. For une up and practice rounds they played other sectional teams and won the majority f the matches after much hard play, striking snags only when running up against hady Side, probably the strongest team in Western Pennsylvania. Sewickley then entered into play-offs with other sectional winners to determine he champion of the western part of the Keystone State. In the first round, ewickley drew a bye and was eligible for the second match in which they drew Bridgeville as their opponent. Because Bridgeville played in a section with more evere competition and still was able to garner every match, they were the favorites o win, which they did. Both teams journeyed to Churchill Valley Golf Course to ilay, and only after many nerve-wracking holes, were winners determined: in the nd Bridgeville had ll points, Sewickley 4. However, by going that far in very stiff competition, the Red and Blue gave vroof that our team, the team of '38 was as good as the majority of the others, nd we had a much better consolation in the fact that only one of the five members graduates, Bill Novak, the ace of the team, leaving a very fine nucleus for next 'ear's team in Legato, Ricker, Tiernan and Ford, with several promising swingsters eady to shove out the veterans at the last sign of laxity, thus practically assuring he 1939 team of a very successful season and perhaps a championship.

New rules which had never been applied prior to this year were now put into use, necessitating the use of more subs, which is indeed a handicap to small schools: then Mr. Winne had to develop an entirely new team which had never been coordinated before on the courts, plus some new formations which would have spelled failure for any team but Sewickley. They kept plugging away until they had a team that looked very promising in practices but to the dismay of everyone, nearly all other schools reported with strong competitive teams which put a rather dull gloss on Sewickley's hopes. But did they stop? The obvious answer is- No!! They fought against the terrific odds stacked high against them and turned in some very surprising performances. Although they won-and lost, no one team was able to literally walk away with the game. Quite to the contrary: the opponents always found a stubborn defense and a fast breaking offense before them which kept them on their toes at all times. Sewickley also had some very clever individual performers, some who do not graduate this year thus throwing a spark ahead to the class of '38-'39. To the team of '37-'38 we give a mighty salute: our only regret is that we cannot see you perform together again for the Red and Blue of Sewickley. FORWARDS: Vescio, Haley. CENTER: Holliger. GUARDS: Bova, Tiernan. SUBSTITUTES: Don Clay. Jack Clay, Fred Legato, William Von l-lofen, Jack Nash and James Hendricks. COACH: Mr. H. B. Winne. MANAGERS: Alden Adams and James Padovese. Total Points W- Sewickley 362, Opponents 425 3 games won - ll games lost WACHTERZ Being successor to a position held previ- ously by Bob Martin probably is the reason why A'Buzzy II was such a highly success- ful guard on the '37 squad. He was un- doubtedly the most improved player on the team and with one more year to serve gives promise of being an outstanding linesman. His speed enabled him to pull out of the line and be one of the better blockers on the team. This coupled with his stabbing tackles spells s-t-a-r. Buzzy is one of the players who will form the nucleus of next year's team. BARBER: John was the all-round star of the team playing in the line, backing up the line, and in the backfleld, and turning in sensa- tional results at each position. Being a track man, his speed was used to advantage in running back kickoffs. He turned in the rare feat of running back the kickoff in the nerve-racking Beaver game, some 80 sensa- tional yards. Barber was chosen to the All- Service team of the Collegiate Cullings which only emphasizes the proof of his amazing agility. Like Wachter, John has one more year: in them Sewickley will have one of the finest pair of tackles in high school history. CENTER ADAMS I Tubby, the hulking zoo pounder, snapped them back with amazing accuracy and helped Patsy Bova back up the line. At the team banquet his ever active service was rewarded with the distinction of being voted by the players the most valuable player on the team largely because of his iron man service at his position. His intelligence diag- nosed many of the opponent's plays before they got under way, and they were imme- diately piled up. QUARTERBACK TIERNAN: Little but mighty. Joe worked perhaps the hardest of any of the players this year, and the results attained may be found by referring to the outcome of the games played. He combined fine running skill with finished blocking and the ability to call the correct play at the right time. Sewickley may be well pleased that she has this sparkplug to carry the burdens of the '38 team. HALFBACK PARKER: Pug because of injuries and other diffi- culties. played under a handicap for the greater part of the season which on top of a late start proved to be quite a disadvantage, but he managed to get into several games in which his services were needed and turned in many sterling performances. Pug showed great potential ability. RIGHT HALFBACK JAMES PADOVESE: James Padovese proved the surprise pack- age of the squad with his hard plunging. end sweeps, and the all-round play which he displayed throughout the season. The result was a fine halfback which fit in with the machine-like Sewickley team. He also showed his ability at the fullback post when the injured Bova could not play, and Paddy turned in a magnificent job of which everyone is aware. LEFT HALFBACK DAVID INGRAMZ ln this boy Sewickley had one of the finest high school halfbacks shown around this district in many a moon. Dave was the high-scorer of the team and carried the ball on an average of three out of every four plays. No opponent was able completely to bottle him up even though the attack con- centrated on him. He was a sensational player who reeled off many long gains and threw those touchdown passes to Vescio and Morgan. Dave is now ineligible to compete due to his age, a ruling enforced by the W. P. I. A. L., and thus passes one of the finest athletes that ever wore Red and Blue. FULLBACK Bova: Vince has battered enemy lines for three years and promises to batter some college teams also. However, little was seen of Patsy's progress this year as he was bothered quite a bit by a bad knee, but at every opportunity he was given to play, Bova gave a good account of himself. He backed up a line superbly, was one of the best blockers Sewickley ever exhibited, and was given hon- orable mention on several Class B teams. SUBSTITUTES Too much cannot be said for the Scrubs of the Red and Blue this year as they were probably the best crop to walk on the field for several years, and a successful second team season gives promise for another brilliant team in 1938. MANAGERS And also to those who saw that all equip- ment was in readiness and worked long hours after school on the field to help make a success of the team, we must give thanks to Albert Hunt, Vincent Lutz, and Ray Milli- gan, along with their aides.

Jerry has been on the squad for four years. and the experience thus attained was invaluable to the team. MORGAN I Monk is a lad of which not so much was expected in this, his first season on the varsity, but he blossomed into a very pol- ished player, in the game at all times, giving his best. He is not the spectacular type but of the consistent brand equally balanced both for offense and defense. He had the distinction of making Sewickley's only touch- down against Masontown, made possible by a spectacular catch over his shoulder. TACKLES FILZENGER: Babe, not so fortunate in earlier foot- ball experience, decided this was his year and set out to prove it. At all times Babe was in the game to do service to the school and justice to himself, and those who saw his slashing tackles and crushing blocks will vouch for his keen ability. HALEY: Captain Pop was a well chosen leader, undoubtedly one of Sewickley's all time great tackles, and led a highly successful team on the Held in a very sportsmanlike manner. He was chosen on several all Class B teams Opponent Wilkinsburg Et,,--L.,,-,-,,a,,- -..

Regardless of injuries or what not, Pop was in the game to see that his team was on top, and the records show that his tireless effort was not in vain. Pop leaves a vacancy that will be very difficult to fill next year. and some college is going to be very fortunate. BROWN 1 Hank saw quite a bit of service last year and improved to the point this year that he kept the regular tackles on their toes to keep their positions, and he played enough to earn his Hank is the quiet type of player which take their work seri- ously: some of his opponents most assuredly will agree. GUARDS WILLIAM GRAY: Billy is undoubtedly the smallest player who ever won a varsity letter at S. H. S., but no one need show any sympathy for him: he was quite capable of taking care of his position at all times. Bill toiled for three fruitless years on the scrubs, but the experience he gathered there plus his vital activity made it possible for him to make the varsity in a great year. VALENZI Z Louie, like Bill. spent quite a sojourn with the lower half of our brilliant team but sparkplugged his way to the front through several line pieces of work turned in while playing miffor games. During the latter half of our schedule when most of the boys were quite tired, Louie kept right on, so that now he may look back with content at the feats he accomplished. The football team of 1937 can well be proud of the record it compiled during the current season in which it met sterner competition than any preceding Sewickley team. Nevertheless it came off the field victor, runners-up in Class B competition, a feat never before attained by a Red and Blue team. Too much cannot be said in recognition of the feats that this agile, cooperative group displayed before the always thronging crowds that attended the games. Lest we forget, we bring our tribute to the coaches who spent tireless, toiling hours in getting the boys in condition and teaching them the fundamentals of team play, so important to a successful team: moreover those unsung heroes, the players who did not make the team yet contributed faithfully to the development of the power of the machine, must share in the laurels. Due to lack of conditioning, Sewickley went into the first game of the season the underdog and did nothing unexpected when they went down to defeat 12-2, before a large, powerful team from Wilkinsburg, but even in losing they showed plenty of promise of the good season that followed. After this opener the Red and Blue started their regular W. P. I. A. L. season and trampled all foes into the sod. They met, besides, several teams out of their class, Bellevue, Norwin, and Cory: but Sewickley was not to be stopped. They led all teams for the Class B crown in points, but in games won and lost they were tied with Masontown. Thus a post-season game was necessary, and the two star-studded teams met in the Charleroi stadium before approximately 2,000 spectators. This was Sewickley's oif day, and the team went down before the ever-charging Masontown team 39-9. However, such a team as we had this year need not be discouraged in this defeat but quite to the contrary may challenge future Sewickley teams to match such a magnificent season as was enjoyed by the team of 1937.

The final chapel of the year was held solely for the presentation of awards-- BIG APPLE DANCE Fun and frivolity of a high order marked the evening of the informal Big Apple Dance of November 23. This first dance of the school year was spon- sored by the Senior Student Council. The committee in charge decorated the gym with huge red apples and red bal- loons - even the programs were red apples. The gay couples did the popular Big Apple and other dances to the swingy tunes of Brad Hunt and his boys. In one corner a couple could be seen shag- ging: others were doing the Princeton hop, the Delta Swing, Truckin', Suzie Q. or some concoction of steps to their hearts' delight and the amusement of the faculty members present. In truth all had the spirit which made this the happiest, gayest dance ever held in the sym- Miss Howland's dancing class added much to the success of the event. By its aid many were given the courage to go to such a social function, being surer of their steps after the hours spent in practice. THE FOOTBALL BANQUET At the close of our eminently success- ful year in football plans were carried out for a celebration dinner at Elmhurst Inn. Members of the faculty and of the board of education and men of the community--all sponsors of the affair-- met with the boys for an informal occa- sion. The absence of outside speakers only added to the good fellowship of the evening. Mr. Hegner, as master of ceremonies, spoke and called on the fac- ulty members present and others who commented in various ways on the play- ers and the season. High lights were the reminiscences of Messrs. Hegner and Critchlow, comments on individual play- ers by Messrs. Stroup and Winne, Mr. Bolin's joke that the Spirit of '76 C759 being passing gradeh is not the policy at Sewickley, followed by several tributes to the school spirit of the boys. who realize that football is not the major interest. Captain George Haley respond- ed for the team. The evening would for Seniors this meant farewell-for the underclassmen the end of another year. We leave with the assurance that they too will have success in Chapel Com- mittee work. not have been complete without Mr. Hawes' contribution - a broadcasted game between the Trojans and Greeks with Hercules as referee. All present joined in a message to Mr. Conway, who was unable to attend. Other entertainment was provided by the Sewickley High Ramblers-Luzadre, Winegardner, Peilfer, and Turnbull. musicians, with Andrews as song leader. It was a great occasion marked by happy spirit and good feeling. THE ALUMNI DANCE Among the holiday festivities which crowded the Christmas calendar of events one of the gala occasions was the annual dance sponsored by the school leaders for the Alumni. The date this year was December 23, so near Christmas that a notable group found it possible to at- tend. The rhythmic movements of the sixty-nine couples were inspired and directed by Willis Shook and his orches- tra. The sponsors. members of the Student Council. had decorated the gym with red and green and Christmas trees placed here and there to add to the gay Christmas spirit prevailing. A happy spirit of renewed friendships and talk of high school days remembered, with the making of plans for the rest of the vacation period marked the swiftly flying hours of the evening. THE GIRLS' SOCIAL With Becky Miller as social chairman, the girls proved their ability to have a good time without escorts for a change. The party was held by the Girls' Student Council in the gym on March 18. from 4 to 6 P. M., during which time the girls and their teachers entered into vari- ous games-humorous and puzzling. The games, being in the capable hands of Laura Bulkeley, included gossip, auto- graphs, and the laughing game. with various dramatizations. After the much enjoyed entertainment. refreshments were served by Marjorie Over and Marjorie Wilson. When the guests had indulged in delicacies, the girls went home deter- mined to have another affair of their own later. CContinued on Page 701 AND SOCIAL EVENTS Fifty-seven THE SENIOR ASSEMBLIES Fifty-six Aided this year by an auditorium com- pletely renovated, and fully equipped with the finest of acoustic systems, the Chapel Committee has tried to encourage the students to have an interest in par- ticipating in the production of many worth-while programs. The committee in charge included Becky Ann Miller, James Padovese, Marjorie Brainerd, Frank Maruca, Betty Anne Robinson, Chapin Heumann, Mary Alyce Balles, Helen Carter, Elsie Steigerwald, Richard Doughty, Ruth Klicker, Jean Neely, Gloria Nester, Norman Brown, Gerald Moses, Dan Davis, Charlotte Conway. A chance to prove the efliciency of the new set-up came in the form of the lirst chapel program, which was a com- bination of the reading of the rules by Mr. Conway and an introduction to the able quartet, The Dixie Melodiers, whose songs were enjoyed at a later date. On September thirtieth came the ever impressive Student Council Installation. In a processional, the newly chosen coun- cil members lighted their candles from the dame, signifying education and gov- ernment, held high by the Spirit of Sewickley High School. This solemn ceremony gave many a new glimpse of the close relationship between the coun- cil, the student body and the school. Never to be forgotten were the rousing cheers and songs which echoed far down the corridors during football season. Under Cheerleader Charlie's direction, pep meetings were bigger and better than ever. Student, faculty members, coaches, and outsiders gave their all to help a splendid team on to victory. Perhaps outshining the other meetings was the successful Football Rally held here at school, the Friday evening before the great Cory game. Most stirring were those messages delivered by Mr. Paul Kurtz, Pittsburgh Press sports writer, and Becky Ann Miller. After listening to Professor Wallace Biggs, teacher of Journalism at West- minster College, the faculty worried for fear all of the students would drop their books and leave school to travel on a shoestring. Seemingly glued to their chairs, wide-eyed boys and girls learned that one does not need a great deal of money to do many interesting things. Accompanying his lecture with natural color films, Mr. Biggs very ably described his trip to England and spots in the country. For many successive nights we dreamed of castles, white cliffs, and deep blue lakes, and longed to be free to travel. By far the most outstanding program of the year was that one held on Armis- tice Day. In the auditorium. curtains parted to reveal a realistic battlefield, trenches, barbed wire, a sprawling corpse, drenched in the sickening darkness, pierced only by the light from sudden explosions. It seemed hours that this relentless bombardment continued, until a deathlike stillness prevailed. Suddenly a light focused on the clock, showed the time to be exactly eleven o'clock and another light revealed a group of Star Spangled Banners fluttering in the breeze while the call of retreat was sounded. With Hags still waving the curtains closed. This effective program showed us the horror and sorrow of use- less warfare, Entering into the spirit of the Yule- tide season, Becky Ann Miller, chairman of our group, directed an especially beau- tiful Christmas program. A new scheme was tried whereby the Glee Club came from either side of the stage in their processional, and thence went to the bal- cony, where they remained the entire program to carol their songs, and form a background for the pageants and read- ings which were presented. These pageants represented Christmas customs in other lands. The long awaited moment came when Mary Alyce Balles, as the Virgin, kneeling by the crib. gave the recitation of the Magnilicat, accom- panied by the humming of the choir. Exchange programs again played their part in providing entertainment for our student body. While Leetsdale. Avalon, and Ambridge visited here to bring us three plays: namely Moon Madness, The Lost Letter, and The Knave of Hearts, a group of our students consisting of the High School Jazz Orchestra and the cast for the play, The Red Lamp, took time off to display its talent in return. The committee felt that of the three exchanges made here, Ambridge should be congratu- lated for its fine work and appropriate costumes presented in The Knave of Hearts. It is our wish that this type of program may be continued between the neighboring schools. Three programs especially pleased the modern youth: those being the sessions with the S. H. S. Jazz Orchestra, the novel song program, where words to many popular hits were flashed on the screen, and all of us joined in a rousing The Junior High School Student Council this year took their solemn oath together with the Senior Student Council when administered by Mr. Stroup. How well the Council has carried out its duty may be seen in the many achievements made for the betterment of the school. Mr. Stroup and Miss Simpson advised and assisted this body in enforcing suggestions and plans. The different squads consisting of the Council members and other select students have kept the corridors, rooms, and the school in general in a good clean condition and have managed to control the junior student body in fine style. A worth-while project undertaken this year was a tardy contest for the purpose of reducing illegal absences and tardiness. It proved very effective in the carrying out of its purpose: all home rooms displayed sincere interest and made the contest very interesting. Mr. Danner's room won top honors by having no one either illegally absent or tardy. The effect of the contest still remains, for all the students attempt more than ever to be in their seats before the buzzer sounds. The Council members are elected by the students for the purpose of governing them. They are selected on the basis of good judgment, thoughtfulness, and worth. The oflicers of the combined body are: President, Robert Galey: Vice- President, Helen Bullitt, and Secretary-Treasurer, Geraldine Campbell. The girls have for their officers: Geraldine Campbell, President: Vice-President, Helen Bullitt, and Julia Richmond,, Secretary-Treasurer. The commanding force of the boys is: Robert Galey, President: Arthur Wilson, Vice-President, and James Bailey, Secretary-Treasurer. JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL Fifty-five I-IILL BILLIES Ulf you want to act natural, be a hill-billy, is the phrase stated by Pappy Gill. Under his consistent influence the club has again fared well in fulfilling various engagements this year. The motley sounds revcrberating occasionally in the Conference Room denote that the mountain boys are enjoying that good ole' hill-billy style swing. Pri- marily, the club's purpose is for self-enjoyment and diversification, out of which they are willing to produce a program guaranteed to entertain at any festive occasion. This year the ranks have been depleted of the more glamorous personnel preva- lent in former years: however, we are provided with genuine mountain boys from the knob, represented by the Scalercio cousins and their twanging guitars. Accla- mation must be given to Louis Valenzi, guitarist supreme, and John Scott, chief mouth-organist, for their faithful service throughout. The wailing strains of violinist's virtuosity were supplied by Erwin Hahn and Charles Andrews. Wesley Graham and Robert Keith warbled on their vocal chords to mountain tunes. New and valuable additions this year included Charles Merriman with his guitar, Robert Wright and John Halvorsen. Do not, however, think that real music is missing just because these fellows appear as this seemingly backwoods group. The majority are really fine musicians. but joined the crowd to let themselves go. Many are surely bound to make their way throughout life rosy by their music. Some belong to the orchestra, ,others to the jazz band. But if you want to catch these gentlemen off guard trot down to the Conference Room and breathe in that melodious music. These mountain boys may also be heard giving entertainment to some of the home rooms who have enough interest in the boys to request their presence, usually individually. Once a hill-billy, always a hill-billy. E. H., '39 The Stage Guild play, Ceiling Zero, presented most impressively Aviation. Directed by Mr. Stroup to the end of smooth, effective staging and acting, the production was a great credit to all concernedzfthe cast most sincere in enacting, the Stage Guild which produced the most realistic setting and sound effects essential to the story's impressiveness.

There was laughter, and there were moments when all were tense in imminent danger and sad when disaster came. And then business went on as usual. Becky Ann Miller gave the Foreword and Jane Myers was the bookholder. Jane Clark assisted in make-up. The orchestra provided excellent music. All agree that Ceiling Zero is most notable play put on by Sewickley High. CEHJN6 ZERO Fifty-three PATSY STRINGS Fifty-two ALONG Comedy reigned in the mid-year play. Patsy Strings Along, by Hollister, pre- sents a preparatory school making rapid headway to bankruptcy despite the efforts of Homer Martin QRalph Naumani, intelligent but not so very business-like head- master. Patsy Heath QDorothea Ripperj, part owner of Lakeland and actress, hurries there to investigate the absence of dividends, motivated in this act partly through an offer for her stock by Mr. Proctor QWarren Honeckeri , who wishes to gain control. Largely because of Jerry QRay Milligan5, the athletic trainer and firm believer in the necessity for successful football teams, Patsy is induced to string along for a time. Mrs. Groat QMarie Hammerl is dismayed over her loss of authority to Patsy and the changes wrought in Sue CJane Clarkl, the repressed but beautiful maid, Ted Burns QDick McNameeH, All-American from Yale, revisits the old school and is persuaded by Patsy to take over the coaching. Miss Agatha Poe CHelen Bullittl, talkative soda store proprietor, quickly conveys the news which receives added publicity through a reporter CHoward Malonel. The corporation interested in owning the Academy sends Mr. Adams lChapin Heu- mannj to threaten condemnation which action Ted is able to avert. The last game of the season which restores Lakeland's renown is reported over the radio by John Sincell and Albert Von Hofen while Patsy and Martin reveal their love, making the way clear for Ted and Sue. So ended one of the school's best comedies, and due credit must be given to Dorothy Morewood whose services as student coach and prompter were deeply appreciated by coach, Miss Doty, and the cast. The Wednesday evening prologue was given by Delphine Wehrum, on Friday, by Jane Myers. Special mention must go to Ray Milligan for his winning comedy and wit, to Warren Honecker for his excellent portrayal of the villain, and to Dorothea Ripper for splendid acting as heroine. All entered their parts with enthusiasm and as a result may be highly complimented for a successful production. The Stage Guild and Orchestra did their share toward the effective program. And so for another time we close a successful club year. Many happy hours were spent in that white brick in its beautiful setting behind the Y. M. C. A. Some of the memorable moments were The Snow Ball, The Copper Carnival, Play Day, and our own Kid Day. Joint meetings, too, stand out. Our guest speakers4Miss Ruoif of Central Y, Mrs. Wahl from the Library, and Mrs. Roy, missionary home from China, all gave us evenings to be long remembered. From each of the informal chats we have obtained a good deal of entertainment, education, and the establishing of new ideas and ideals. This year saw the introduction of Squaw Squabble, with its editors, Totalossa, Pocahiwhy, Gitcha-Gabbie, Laffalott, and Lotagozip. It presents reviews, coming programs, comments and pictures. Miss Jones decided, in view of new plans of activity, to hand over her duties to Mrs. Williams, known to us as Copey, yet she comes often, like one of us again, showing her interest and giving advice. With these two and Miss Kerr as advisors, our club of thirty-seven has developed into a group quite constant in attendance and in cooperation in projects. Our ollicers have done well. We bid farewell to Laura Bulkeley, President: Betty Rogers, Vice President: Robina Mcllvain, Secretary: Elizabeth See, Treasurer: Mary Evelyn Ducey, Program Chairman: Mary Alyce Balles, Social Chairman: and Delphine Wehrum, Council Representative -M a cabinet who planned and con- ducted the meetings so that never a dull moment passed. They carried on a financial program such as provided funds to an extent never before enjoyed. We extend the best of wishes to the new officers: Elizabeth See, President, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Vice President: Mary Alyce Balles, Secretary: Betty Jane Haley, Treasurer: Marie Hunt, Program Chairman: Marjorie Over, Social Chairman: Elsie Steigerwald, Coucil Representative. R. E. Mcl., '38 GIRL RESERVES - Fifty-one Fifty EHI A Ag! I - Wt When the school bell has rung its last for this year. a group of senior boys will regretfully separate from a club which has been to them a center of strong interest. In the Sewickley Hi-Y they have found an organization which enlisted their strong cooperation in its character building work. Vital were the topics, and challenging was the program introduced. The club's activities started with the Jamboree at Camp Umbstaetter. an annual event utilized for the purpose of acquainting the old and new members and empha- sizing the good will and friendliness necessary to good club work. At the next regular meeting, a very solemn and impressive Induction Ceremony was held in order to instill formally in the minds of all the true purpose of the organization-- Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship. and Clean Living. Next the town extended its hospitality to some three hundred delegates to the Older Boys' Conference held annually during the hrst week-end of December. The main features were speeches by Mr. H. W. Gibson and Dr. Louis H. Evans. both well liked speakers. This was counted as a considerable undertaking, well planned and successfully conducted. Then came the St. Valentine dance, a most enjoyable and successful affair, and a joint party with the Girl Reserves as a second social affair. All dinner meetings have a social air. The outstanding achievement of the year, however, lies in discussion trans- formed into action in the line of Clean Scholarship. The Senior Discussion Group devised a plan whereby high standards of scholarship might be promoted in the high school. They presented to the student body a plan for a Clean Scholarship Honor Society. The voluntary acceptances of this plan were numerous enough to justify its inauguration. As the society is self-perpetuating the Seniors who launched the endeavor feel that their supreme service through the Hi-Y will con- tinue, long after their day, as an influence in the school's life. The officers and leaders of the club for 1937-38 are: Mr. E. Nl. Borger, Sponsor and Senior Leader: Mr. James Goodwin, Junior Leader: Mr. R. A. Danner Sophomore Leader: William White, President: Alden W. Adams. Vice President' Ralph A. Nauman, Secretary-Treasurer, and William G. Barger, Editor of Hysteria v v R. A. N., '38 The popular appeal of the dance orchestra last year was so strong that one was organized again thins year by Eloise Turnbull. The personnel of the organi- zation included David Galey, a successful leader of swing chosen by the orchestra itself, Frances Kazen whose ability on the piano was featured in the selection Josephine, Glenn Peilfer who proved himself to be the second Jean Kroupaf' Charles Andrews who was almost obscured by the big bass, Thomas Aston and Jack Luzadre who demonstrated to us how really good sax-players sound, Ells- worth Turnbull with as sweet a tone as Tommy Dorsey on 'Tm Getting Senti- mental Over You, Louis Valenzi who is very capable at rendering his own compositions besides filling in with guitar solos, and Eloise Turnbull and Francis Haley who played Bei Mir Bist Du Schon as Horace Heidt's own trumpeters might have played it. Not to be forgotten are the vocalists Eloise Turnbull and Jack Luzadre who sang Rosalie and Once in Awhile as only they can sing them, Thanks to the much-appreciated work of the Stage Guild, the orchestra was able to have very attractive stands painted with S H S in red letters on a white background. These added very much to the appearance and the convenience of the group. This group of musicians was used as the nucleus of the exchange programs with Leetsdale, Bellevue, and Avalon, along with other music and oratorical acts representing the high school. Many new and modern numbers were added to the repertoire of the orchestra this year. among which were I Double Dare You, Ti Pi Tin, Thanks for the Memories, and You Took the Words Right Out of My Heart. The technical ability of these players along with their willingness to cooperate with their leader has added very much to the finished production of this group of talented musicians, S. E. T., '38 DANCE ORCHESTRA Forty-nine SENIOR ORCHESTRA Forty-eight 5 sf . J Here is the junior usher to escort you to your seat. Seated comfortably, you have time to let your eyes wander over the assortment of instruments, now in the hands of the owners who are tuning up, chatting. getting ready for the minute of the program. I wonder who the violinists are this year: Oh, I see Erwin Hahn, Jack Morewood, Robert Eaton, Martha Haley, Robert Fullman, George Drew, Markham Conway, and Dolores Luxbacher, and there behind them are Dorothy Morewood and John Sincell, with their 'cellos. Sitting at the piano are Frances Kazen and Beatrice Kozar. The brass section includes a clarinet played by Jack Luzadre, trumpets played by Eloise Turnbull, Seymour Robertson, Francis Haley, and James Nagle, and trombones played by Ellsworth Turnbull and Elmer Winters. Glenn Peilfer is seen making a last-minute examination of his drums. With the raising of the baton held in the very capable hands of Miss Emily Stewart. music director, all the instruments are raised to position, and the first notes of King Rose Overture are struck. In this manner, a delightful prelude to the mid-year play is rendered. Filling the interludes between the acts with music made the play much more enjoyable to all present. The mid-year play was the first big venture of the orchestra this year, besides the regular chapel programs. Their further duties included playing for the Senior Play and Commencement. Among the many new numbers that Miss Stewart procured were the well-known Victor Herbert's Favorites, Black Eyes, and Marche Francaise which gave pleasure to all who heard or played them. This organization has had a busy but nevertheless successful term. It has practiced diligently and earnestly to achieve the good results. Due to the small number of musicians enrolled this year, the group has had to work hard to produce the good results recognized at public performances. S. E. T., '38 Sewickley did not present contestants in all the varieties of speech arts presented this year in the State Forensic League contests. Where representatives appeared they reflected honor on the school. Becky Ann Miller, with experience in decla- mation and on the champion debate team last year won first place in Original Oration in the meet at Coraopolis and again in the county meet at Edgewood, losing out in the district contest at California. She used as her subject America Facing the Future. Warren Honecker appeared at Coraopolis presenting his inter- pretation of a selection from The Training of the Intellect by Woodrow Wilson. Warren performed creditably, winning third position. Sewickley was host to the contests in Reading, the first of which presented selections from the comedies of Shakespeare, the second in non-dramatic poetry- Cargoes by Maselield being a required number to be accompanied by Swinburne, Walt Whitman or Lanier. More musical representatives appeared for the State Music Contests than have appeared since the orchestra played some few years ago. Moreover so many are under-classmen that future prospects seem quite sunny. Ellsworth Turnbull, win- ner of trombone honors for two years, kept his laurels with a third victory in the county and lost the section by two points only. Frances Kazen accompanied him on the piano in two numbers, Castles in the Air and My Old Kentucky Home in Variations, both composed by Clay Smith. Entered in Violin was Erwin Hahn, our first violin, who placed fourth in the contest held at Aspinwall. Complimentary comments on his work and that of his accompanist, Beatrice Kozar, were brought to us. In vocal contests came othersfWesley Graham in Baritone Solo, not winning but gaining invaluable experience for the years to come. His accompaniments, well cared for in the hands of Dorothy Morewood, were Evening Star from Tann- hauser and Tally Ho, Creditable work, too, was done by the Girls' Trio, Dorothy Morewood, Becky Ann Miller and Eloise Turnbull in their rendition of On Wings of Song, Mendels- sohn, and the Creole Ay, Ay, Ay. The honors in vocal work, however, go to the Double Mixed Quartet who took second in the County contest at McKeesport, singing the required Song of the Russian Children and Dancing on the Green. This group has only two seniors: thereby comes the conlidence that next year's more experienced singers will bring home a first place rating. In this group were Marjorie Over, Ruth Shook, Delphine Wehrum, Martha Haley, Robert Keith, John Scott, Kenneth Malone, and Francis Haley. FORENSIC AND MUSIC Forty-seven Forty-six GLEE CLUB One didn't need to walk past the auditorium to hear the vocal attempts of this year's Glee Club, for its clear music could be heard resounding throughout the halls. Some of the dreamier students in study groups, no doubt, were moved to hum along with the vocal strains of the songsters. This year the Glee Club, under the very capable direction of Miss Emily Stewart, has satisfactorily filled its obligations to the delight of the entire student body. Besides being an enjoyment to all who participated in the singing, the Glee Club has brought pleasure to all who listened. Two chapels programs were aided by these melodiers, the coming spring program will also display further evidence of the year's work. All must remember the effective Christmas assembly, which was in the main a program by the Glee Club, as it consisted largely of carols and Noels. The football rally and many pep meetings were aided by the members of the Glee Club who assisted the cheer leaders in putting school spirit behind our sports. A few of the most effective selections that this group worked with most diligently and enjoyed the most were: Marianina, See the Conquering Hero Come, Hills of Home, Royal Summer Comes Apacef' and The Song We Sing. The organization is as follows: Sopranos: Marjorie Brainerd, Helen Causey, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Dorothy Green, Betty Luster, Ruth Merriman, Rebecca Ann Miller, Margery Over, Gloria Nester, Betty Ann Robinson. Ruth Shook, Ruth Walker, Marjorie Wilson, Margaret Rose Skeehan, and Marie Hunt. Second Sopranos: Laura Bulkeley, Dorothy Brooks, Robina Mcllvain, Betty Rogers, Jean Severance, Delphine Wehrum, and Norma Challis. Altos: Yolanda Bova, Jean Baumgartel, Martha Haley, Bessie Henwood, Jean Sample, Eloise Turnbull, and Kathryn Winegardner. Tenors: Jack Luzadre, Kenneth Malone, and John Scott. ' Basses: Robert Keith, Wesley Graham, Francis Haley, John Sincell, Ellsworth Turnbull, Halland Winegardner, and Donald Kral. Accompanist: Dorothy Morewood. D. M., '38 Again Chief Sewihi brings forth a chess team of power, dignity, and zeal. Each fellow is willing to put in the time and concentration necessary to good playing. Because of these facts, and because there is the ideal team of seniors, juniors and sophomores, the boys have brought home the bacon every time except once. Despite the difficulty of getting games in this vicinity, an interest in chess has been maintained throughout the entire year. For months during the winter, Mr. Hawes's room has been used every afternoon as a meeting place and practice field for this group of intellectuals. Problems have been solved, questions asked, and openings have been learned under the guidance and able supervision of Mr. Hawes. The first team consists of Jack Luzadre, Leonard Bartlotti. Chapin Heumann, Bob Bond, and Jack Krieger, with George Schussler and Sam Meta alternating with the first five. The lirst game was with the Bellevue Chess Club in October. No definite score was kept, but most of our men won more games than they lost. Then came a game with Carnot. The game resulted in a win for us 3-2. ln early February, Mr. Hawes and five contestants again traveled to Bellevue, and once again Sewihi triumphed. On this occasion a party was given afterwards, and all enjoyed a fine evening's entertainment. Our last game with Carnot was early in April. As before we deefated them 3-2. The result came only after a two hour game between Jack Luzadre and Pete Hawes. If you know anything about the chess circle, you certainly know that Pete is an ancient rival of the squad, and rightly so, never having lost a match in competition: that is, before Jack ruined his enviable record. During the Easter vacation, we had a game with the Old Guard of '36. This was our Hrst and last defeat for 1937-38. The old boys were just too strong for us. The end of the year has come: let us all join together in our hopes and cheers for the Sewickley chess teams to come, CHESS TEAM Forty-live Forty-four STAGE GUILD The Stage Guild this year has been very busy and has accomplished many things never before attempted on the Sewickley stage. One of the foremost of thesc was the thrilling Eight of Ebenezer Sweet in the Hallowe'en Husband of our Hallowe'en program this fall. Another was the portrayal of what appears to be more than one room on the same stage at the same time. Three special entrances were constructed for Ceiling Zero, which was with its sound effects, switchboards, and specially built scenery, a very excellent production. The Guild is most proud of the Armistice Day Trench Scene with machine guns, helmets, and sandbags, over which at the end, Taps were sounded. The National Honor Society installation setting was another achievement. At the back of the stage was a blue keystone with a border of blue lights upon which was a torch with a glowing paper flame: at the sides of the stage were the key words of the society illuminated with lights. The Guild also turned in a most satisfactory performance on Patsy Strings Along, the Mid-year play. This play, however, did not given any opportunity to the Guild to exercise its full ability, since there was no scenery to construct. For Ceiling Zero it planned the entire set: sound, lighting, and all the effects employed in the presentation. The effects of planes taking off, landing, and crashing were all on recordings amplified from a loud speaker hanging directly ovcr the center of the stage. The glare from the planes was caused by setting off six photoflash bulbs simultaneously. The sound was just one of the reasons for worry for the Guild: others were: fog, fire, and frost on the windows. But all were overcome and the play resulted as a line triumph for the Sewickley Stage Guild. The members that made possible all the plays with their picturesque back- grounds and constructed scenery, working in cooperation and individually, are, Seniors: William Barger, manager during first semester, Glenn Peiffer, manager during the second semester, Don Campbell, Dave Galey, and Albert Hunt: Juniors: Richard Doughty and Russel Rickert: Sophomores: Alex Dann, Dan Davis, Norman Brown, and Edwin Smith: Freshmen: Edward Barger, Melvin Baumgartel, Philip Dermody, Roger Galey, and Alex Taylor. R. M. D., '39 C 'N ' 'X w X Q. , Down through the years of Sewickley High has come the tradition that events in the school must be recorded clearly and forcefully for the benelit of the general public as well as for the students themselves. The chief organ for this purpose has been the Oracle, written and edited by a group of volunteer journalists under the leadership of an elected editor and assistant. Its constant purpose has been to present school happenings, feature stories, and other articles of news value to the attention of both the student body and the public as a whole. Starting comparatively early in the year with an election held in September, the school's choice was Raymond Rainbow, Editor-in-Chief, and Laura Bulkeley, Assistant Editor. Staff meetings were held every Monday afternoon for assignments after a review of both past and future news. On the staff this year were four Senior Reporters f only one having a previous year of experience on the paper. This was Jean Miller. Other Seniors included Margaret Gill, George Schussler, and William Barger. Reporters from the Junior Class were Mary Alyce Balles, Yolanda Bova, and Cecilia Callaghan. Sophomores included Jean Neely, and Gloria Nester. The lone representative from the Fresh- mas Class was Edward Barger. In the Sport Department, Vincent Lutz, '38, ably handled the reports of games during the football season, Alden Adams, '38, took care of all sports events following the close of the football season. From time to time, other volunteers provided articles. Among these was Albert Von Hofen. Doubtless the staff has failed to report on many newsworthy events, yet these are outnumbered, we trust, by the readability of accounts and the variety of those events reported on. Publication of the Oracle in the Sewickley Herald is possible only through the friendly interest and generosity of Mr. Nevin, publisher of that paper. To him, our grateful thanks for the opportunity to give the public a clear, faithful portrayal of our high school life and, too, for the privilege of writing articles for the Herald at times. R. S. R., '38 ORACLE SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL Forty-two First organized in 1926 the Sewickley High School Student Council is known to all the pupils as the governing body of the school. Creating new laws as well as enforcing the old, it upholds the high standards and ideals of the school by cooperating with the students not only as an advisory body, but also as a sponsor- ing one as well. It sponsors the annual Alumni Dance: the Girls Social, which was a great success: a dance in honor of the football squad: as well as other social activities. A tardy contest sponsored during the month of March by the Council proved very interesting as well as helpful in reducing the number of tardy marks. The contest was among the homerooms and in each homeroom between the girls and the boys, the losers having to present a program on chapel. Locker inspection is also held under the direction of the council to encourage neatness. The council members took their solemn pledge in the fall with the dignity expected of them. The installation program consists of each member singly light- ing his symbolic candle from the flame of the Spirit of Sewickley, followed by the taking of the oath of office given by Mr. Stroup. The members of the Executive Council of this governing body are: President. Alden Adams: Vice-president, Ralph Nauman: Secretary-treasurer, Marjorie Wilson The Girls' Council with Miss Hubbell as advisor, chose for its oflicers: President Laura Bulkeley: Vice-President, Marjorie Wilson: Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Ellis The Boys' Council, advised by Mr. Stroup, elected Alden Adams for President' Ralph Nauman, Vice-President: and Joe Tiernan as Secretary-Treasurer. In addition to the oflicers the Council consists of: Janet McMaster, Becky Ann Miller, William Street, Martha Haley, Don Clay, Derrill Shankle, Sara Cook, Marjorie Over, Margaret Rose Skeehan, Robert Ingram, Max Maust, and William Mooney. r . 1 M. R. W., '39 The purpose of this nationally organized Society, a feature of second schools, is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the youth of America. Upon the qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character are based the election of members selected from the senior and junior classes. A The work of such an organization is in the lines of fulfilling the trust and faith placed in the honor of membership-that in every way one shall show himself influenced by the qualities recognized in him by the faculty. The group of 1938 has undertaken a most worth-while project as a special service: that of formulating the long desired hand-book of information, so necessary a help to students in the adjustment to high school life. In it will appear the curricula offered in Sewickley, the plan of elections and duties of the various organizations, the rules and regula- tions of various activities, the songs, and, may we say, all things else that belong in the program of the school life. The pin, showing the Keystone with a flaming torch, carries in these symbols much that is emphasized in the election to the society-wstrength of purpose that holds the group compact, the zeal and the will to do that accomplish definite results in what is undertaken. In the Sewihi Chapter of the National Honor Society those who were chosen to bear its sign, fulfill the pledge, and to promote its interests are as follows: 1938: Vincent Lutz, president: William Barger, Rebecca Ann Miller, vice- present: Alden Adams, secretary: Robert Bond, Marjorie Brainerd, Laura Bulkeley, Janet McMaster, Dorothy Morewood, Ralph Nauman, Raymond Rainbow. 1939: Erwin Hahn, Derrill Shankle, Marie Hammer, Elizabeth See. R. A, M., '38 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Forty-one Forty THE EIGHTH GRADE THE SEVENTH GRADE From the ninety pupils in the eighth grade, Donald Mattern was elected President: Eugene Herman, Vice-President: Helen Hurd, Secretary, and Helen McVicker, assistant secretary. While they have not many duties, having oflicers seems to make the two rooms feel drawn together into a class. The two homerooms of the eighth grade are 102 and 107. Room 107 is especially noted for its poster work by Irene Arndt. Many of the eighth graders are star gazing this year. This is the lirst year we have taken up the subject of science. We are learning the names of stars, the reason birds migrate, and the four different types of clouds. The world is becoming a new place to us. Of course the object of busy talk after the nrst semester has ended, is but one thing- The Key- hole. This is an interesting project taken up in English class by the eighth grade, which reports on many interests of the class. The home room programs we have been having this year are very entertaining, and we have also had parties and packed baskets for Thanksgiving. The eighth grade has never had any activities as a whole -just as home rooms. The class will try to carry on its good work, not just until Seniors to help the Sewickley High School have a good name, but all through our life to make good citizens of the United States. H. L. H., '42 The Class of 1943 feels that it began its history back in 1930 when the members lirst met Miss Bailey. With her we started school with pet names and games which were fun and did not seem like work at all. The next year we found that we had made habits which helped us in First Grade. In Fourth Grade we had our first taste of twelve minute periods. We began here to change classes and so felt we were in the upper brackets. In Sixth Grade we thought we were masters in the school, but when Seventh Grade came back from the High School Building we were put in our place. We are having a taste of Junior High dignity this year with Mr. Thompson and Miss Stewart as special teachers. We are looking forward to being a real part of the High School next year. T. B.

When we were well enough acquainted, we elected the follow- ing class oflicers: President, Abner Rainbow: Vice- President, Robert Galey: Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Menz. We found our school work quite different this year. Our chief difficulties centered around Latin and Algebra, which were so different from anything we had been used to. But before long we noticed evidence of scholarship, particularly in room 113, which furnished nine pupils for the honor roll the first report period. Room 103 was outstanding for Jean Atwell Betty Balrin Frances Barber Marie Bemis Mary Lou Black Dorothy Blair Barbara Bollinger Mildred Borger Margaret Brady Margaret Branch Harriet Breidau Margaret Brenner Virginia Brush Helen Bullitt Vera Buzard Geraldine Campbell Alice Cottom Deane Curtis Gertrude Daufen Jean Davis Mary Henderson Louise De Mario Elizabeth Domenik Dorothy Ewing Lillian Green Irene Halvorsen Mary Hurd Mary Jeannette Holman Hazel Johnson Nina Jones Mildred Kerr Lorraine Kinkade Virginia Kirk Leona Lawvere Hattie Lee Margaret Leeman Sarah Leeman Frances La Bello Geneva McCandless Anna McMannus Mignon McVicker Vera Maruca Mary Merrill Helen Merriman Byrdie Mitchell Thirty-six its poster work, furnishing a novel idea for every football game, and later, now and then, ones appro- priate for the season or special events. Room 112 furnished a candidate for the track team while room 105 furnished a candidate for the tennis team. Long to be remembered will be our delightful work with the Let's Read volumes which we used to increase our interest in reading, as well as our speed. Anyone who happened to visit our Civics classes at the end of the first semester would have been impressed by the budding geniuses foretold by project notebooks. Also of no little interest was our work in science, particularly for the boys. F.

It took us some time to realize that we were sophisticated sophomores, now in Senior High, but when we did, we enjoyed ourselves immensely, doing many things to prove ourselves. We tried to be a useful part of the school. The election of officers probably was the first step in this. They were: President- Robert Ingram, Vice-President-Russel Dambach, Secretary-Treasurer -Margery Over. The Sopho- mores were well represented in various fields, such as honor roll, football, basketball, and track. So we feel assured we are living up to the mark set for first year Senior High School. The memorable event of the year was, beyond a doubt, the Sophomore Hallowe'en Party. It was a great success, thanks to the cooperation of the mem- bers of the class. This was the first time Sopho- mores had tried to have a party for the entire class in several years. The homerooms gave an outlet to the pupils' initiative. Each room was outstanding in one-or more respects: Room 106 showed a great desire for the novel things, such as the art contest in which we found some budding artists of promise. Room 104, too, had especially attractive posters, keeping up quite well with the current activities. It was noted for its good Home-Room Programs. Room 114 was highly represented in nearly every sport, coming out with several winners. Room 203 was outstanding for the number of talented pupils enrolled. Some excelled in art, others in music, and still others in drama. Altogether we regret leaving our happy Sopho- more year, but there is consolation in the fact that next year there will be another group of eager Sophomores to carry on, while the class of '40 carries on the traditions of the Junior Class.

They are eagerly looking forward to the honor of being leaders in the school. And scanning their records they think they have prepared to take that place. Under the leadership of Derrill Shankle, presi- dent: Martha Haley, vice-president: and Elizabeth See, secretary-treasurer. the Class of 1939 has already set a high standard of scholastic attainment, and their school spirit is strong as is shown by their wholehearted participation in the various school activities. The Mid-year play, yes, even the so-called Senior Play fthe Spring Playj saw members of this class in prominent places, The Exchange Programs, the school programs, the Clean Scholarship Society, as well as the regular work of the Council and its Betty Abercrombie Mary Alyce Balles .

All kinds of athletics were supported by the stars of '39. The title champion in boys' intra-mural basketball was won by this class. In social lines the Junior-Senior Prom is our great responsibiilty. Early in the year plans were laid. For funds the girls sold their wares at the home football games, and wire S's before the Coraopolis game. Money from a bake sale was added to make a considerable sum for the outstand- ing social affair of the year. With a capable com- mittee headed by Joe Tiernan and a cooperative class, it is felt that this Prom will be one of the best in the history of the school. Next year all this experience will mean strong leadership based on actual participation in the many departments of the school's activity. The Class of '39 will strive to surpass the standards already high.
