My interest will be with you. I shall watch the successes which come to you and shall note with pride your accomplishments. What the years hold for you depends in a large measure upon yourself. I wish you well. The associations have been pleasant and I regret that you must leave. I shall be glad to see you whenever you return to the school. I.. H. CONWAY In these sweet June Days the Teacher ' and the Scholar trust their parting feet to separate ways. And so we write another page in the Book of Life - probably the only page that will be yours and mine together. It is diliicult to say farewell to those with whom one has lived and worked over a period of years-yet now the Class of 1939 becomes History and Memory: last- ing history indelibly inscribed in the annals of the school and a pleasant friendly memory that lingeringly echoes in our silent corri- dors long after you have gone. May Happiness, Good Fortune and Good Living be your constant companions in the adventurous years that wait to challenge you-'may we meet again as old friends who once worked together for a common cause and loyalty.

For when we are in trouble we will recall Our motto: Perseverance conquers all. 1939 fellow students. Twenty-seven Twenty-eight ORIES UF THIRTY-NINE E THE Another year, another Senior class, and-another class history. Four years ago we entered the halls of Sewihi, some of us bewildered, others more sure of ourselves, but all with great expectations of the years of high school life that lay before us. Our first days in school we will never forget. They meant lost schedules and wrong rooms. We just couldn't understand how the Seniors found time to leisurely stroll through the halls and stop and talk with others, when we dashed madly about and still got to class late. It wasn't long before we attended our first assembly program. Thereafter followed many interesting hours in the auditorium, many of which were the pep-meetings. All during the fall, football was the main topic of sports conversa- tion. Came the Christmas holidays. The school's Christmas spirit was shown in the many home-room parties and a beautiful chapel program. Who will forget the Carni- val held here in the spring? We freshmen found that when the students of Sewihi set out to do something, they make a success of it. With March came the great flood. No lights, students absent from school: then the gym team exhibition for the benefit of flood relief: all were part of a trying time. Other things we will remember from our Freshman days are the fire-drills, our first six weeks tests, the trips we took: Civics classes to the Filtration Plant and Science classes to the Ice Plant and to the Automo- bile Company, and finally, in June, the realization that one year of high school had quickly passed by. As Sophomores, we thought we were grown up. Now we were part of Senior High and we entered the building by the side door and had lockers and classes on the third floor. This year our number was increased with students from Edgeworth. Uppermost in our mind were our debates for Public Speaking. Anticipation was not of the joyous kind: but when our turn came, we found they were not so bad after all. Extra vacation! Two whole weeks! The scarlet fever epidemic closed the schools, the theatre, and the library. Many of us will never forget ball games in English classes, dissection in Biology, school election day, and our decisive football victories over Bellevue and Cory this year, With our Junior year came these thoughts. High school half over: what should our plans for the future be? We were really becoming part of the school. Our class was ably represented in all fields of athletics, in exchange programs, Forensic, school plays, and other activities. The weeks we spent working on our Junior Essays were marked with zest, really, and the task was finished before we knew it. Football fame soared to great heights. Who will ever forget that memorable day of the Beaver game, final 20-l9! We won nearly every game except the play-off for the Championship. But someone had to lose, and Sewickley did, with the good sportsmanship she always displays. This same year we got our class rings. We left school in the spring with a feeling of importance because when we came back we would be Seniors and yet with a feeling of sorrow because three years were behind us, We said goodbye to Mr. Duncan and Mr. Gill and knew we would miss them, but with welcome in our hearts, said hello to Miss Foster, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Dambach. This, our final year, was our year. For awhile it was very strange not to see any Seniors around, but we finally got used to the fact that we were the Seniors, and upon our shoulders rested a great responsibility. This year's Seniors starred in sports. Our football team won the co-championship, They starred in dramatics. Double Door is perhaps one of the greatest plays ever produced by the school. They starred in original ideas and had plenty of zip to put those ideas across. This year brought to us the College Group, the Red Hatters, Let's not- by Mr. Bolin, the Shakespearean Plays, the Pep-o-Meter - events great and small. Events we will never forget because they mean our last and greatest year of high school life. These four years were full: rich in joy, sorrow, glory, and triumph. From here we all shall go on our own way, scattered over the wide world. Probably some of us will never again meet, but we will always be together in our memories of each other and of the hours spent at Sewickley High. M. B. Thirty Years pass but never can we forget the good time had as students. So once more back to the old halls, once more back to our joyous youth! Now we are the guests of our Alma Mater. It is the hrst night preview of the latest play, The Three Stars, written by the currently popular novelist, Miss Yolanda Bova. Featuring those three popular artists, Misses Mary Evelyn Ducey, Catharine Carey, and Camille Macaluso, our play is directed by Thomas Northcott. It is backed by the wealthy Doctor Stanley McPherson. The dramatic critic tonight is Lupie Barilaro. The illustrious Richard Doughty, now a well known stage manager, enters arguing with Helen Carter and Mary Jane Eaton, artists for the set. The guest orchestra this evening is directed by Jack Jit Nash, whose arrange- ments were made by Elmer Winters. We must not become too engrossed in conversation for many celebrities are entering the lobby. My program falls from my hand, and a tall, sophisticated gentleman retrieves it for me: as he faces me I recognize him as Francis Haley, civil engineer. By his side is his studious sister, Martha Haley, who has received her Doctor's Degree. Entering now is Elmer Fisher, noted poet and song writer, accompanied by that noted tap dancer, Cecilia Callaghan. Following close behind is Wesley Graham with his companion, Betty Barclay, now stars of Metropolitan Opera. Here comes our most prominent Judge of the Circuit Court, Don Kral. His com- panion is Mary Alyce Balles, Dean of P. C. W. Following them is Harold Weston, insurance salesman, trying to sell a policy to Earl Wachter, Captain of the Professional All-American Football Team, and Fred Legato, Pro Golf and Football Star. Ah, there is a jolly crowd: meeting old school chums makes a joyous evening. In that group we see Dorothy Brooks, Paris Creator, and Myrtle Breidau, Fashion Designer for Vogue, talking to those two magnetic salesmen of that New Pierce Nicholas V331 of their own creation, Don and Jack Clay. In another corner a happy group includes Laura Butler, a social worker, John Barber, famous Olympic Star, Julia Whitlock, Captain of the All Star Basket Ball Team, Lelia Blockson, hair stylist, Leroy Green, a well known minister, and Kenneth Whitlock, a Pittsburgh Social Worker. They are renewing old friendships made in the halls of S. H. S. As we hear the ringing notes of the overture we hurry down the aisles to see this much popularized production. We found our seats with little difficulty because we had been told that a tall dark gentleman, Sam Mecle, noted for his surprising ability in the sales of second-hand cars, was to be seated next to us. As we glance around we see Robert Jones, a soap-box orator for the betterment of Sewickley streets. Beside him is the Glenfield street commissioner, Joe Hartle. Near by was a bevy of beautifully gowned ladies-Mildred Gardner, Home Economics teacher, Mary Cronin, and Margaret Czik, beauty operators in the Wagner Beauty Salon, owned by Wilma Wagner. It is located in the Grant Building just above KDKA Studios where Robert Keith and Adam Langdon appear as yodelers in the skit, Cow- boys from Brooklyn. Speaking of radios here comes that handsome Tobacco Auctioneer on the Lucky Strike program, George McTighe Douglas. The lights dim, and we can no longer see. The curtains part, and William McDonald, of radio fame, makes his Hurst stage appearance as the male lead in The Three Stars. Clever plot, clever actresses and actors, clever production! But the suspense is high as the curtain drops abruptly. So we saunter into the lobby to chat once more with our old friends. Now coming from the auditorium we see Betty Jane Haley, private secretary to the Cain Corporation followed by her boss, busily chatting with Elizabeth See, Home Economics teacher, who is with George Richer. owner of the Sewickley Theater. Here comes that famous Matinee Idol, Joe Tiernan, with Marjorie Wilson, hostess at that famous playground, the Gray Grove. Behind them is Earl White, chief astrologist at the handy Hayden Planetarium with his staff of Joseph Hammer, George Helmer, and Robert Harkness. Intermission is over so back to the auditorium once again. We see the end of a highly dramatic production. Superb performances! It is no wonder school friends came to admire. After the play was over, the crowd retired to the Grove where we saw Elsie Steiger- wald, famous Arthur Murray dancer, giving an exhibition with the blond Carl Schueler, of the Schueler Date Bureau. Just entering is that Democratic Party Leader, Jack Beall. Now come Betty Hicks, an important Style Consultant, and Marie Hammer, now an importer of French models. Now in the spotlight is Louis Damaso, Phil Baker's protegee on the accordion. accompanied by Beatrice Kozar, noted pianist. Swing and sway with Sammy Kay, says the announcer, Jack Willison, to the strains of the music written by Ruth Ellis and Betty Abercrombie. Now with his staff of G-Men from the Department of Justice, Robert Value enters with Margaret Wolfe, owner of the Champion Thoroughbred Racer- White Wash. Now entering is that famous tap dancer, James Whaley with Laura Harris as his dancing companion. At a table near sits Derrill Shankle, head aeronautical engineer for the Government. with his staff-Otto Witzleb, Robert Rogge, and Allan Johnson. With these indus- trious engineers are Betty Trudell, Head Nurse at the Sewickley Valley Hospital, Rita Ruettgers, Teacher of Radio Speaking, and her companion-secretary, Dorothy Tignanelli. Now entering at the piano is Anna Marie Edwards, of the Conservatory of Music, her companion at her table is Grace Brown, Doctor of Philosophy. Coming to the table now are her traveling representatives, Ida Mae Mitchell, and Isabel Harris. Comes now a very important chap, that News-hawk from the Pittsburgh Press. Fred Pendred, accompanied by his two executive friends, Ray McClure and Verner Lutz, Council Representatives of Glenlield. Following close behind are Josephine Damico, Manager of the Girls Mushball Team of America, and Lenora Barley, head of the school of new business methods. We see Evelyn Karl and Henrietta Todd, two Roller Skating Stars with Richard Quinn, successful oil man, and Joe Reiser, Admiral in the U. S. Navy. Music calls and among the couples drifting by we see Dixon Copeland, a success- ful business man, and Marie Hunt, a Physical Education teacher at the Sewickley Phgh SchooL On the other side of the floor is William von Hofen, owner of the von Hofen Garage and Gas Stations. Now a laughing, happy crowd enters the Grove, and as they come closer we recognize Elizabeth Maruca, owner of the shop where Helen Causey is the model for knitted wear. With them are Carmella Flowers, secretary-companion, with Marion Lake, a dietitian, Myrtle Davis, an artist, Dorothy Dippolito, also a secretary to Anna Placek, who is the owner of a famous cafe. Close behind is that happy-go-lucky Olympic Star, Gladys Bijenou. Yes, even doctors have time for pleasure, as we can see as Dr. John Luzadre dances with a sweet young girl. Stock-broker Harvey Randall is sitting at Jack's table with Russell Richert of the Richert and Richert Stage Supplies, Inc. Across the room are seated William McPherson, noted chemist, and Charles Hamilton, a salesman. And just opposite we see Peter Barilaro, a Certified Public Accountant, with his very helpful partner, Jack Stirling, while William Barr and Fred Burkholder, also C. P. A.'s are consulting with them. It is growing late, the crowd is thinning out, and we can easily see Kenneth Fahrny, owner of the Fahrny Gasoline Station, Raymond Goubeaud, a noted adver- tising artist, and Norman DeGori, a football coach. Coming over to speak to them are Thomas Roppa, a head gardener on a prominent estate, Robert Lockhart, a dealer in old cars, and Erwin Hahn, a very industrious scientist. Strolling around the room we see Leonard Bartlotti, Champion Chess Player, and Dominic Fote, a research chemist. As the lights dim. we realize that now another glorious evening is at an end, another reunion where old friends meet. It has been fun, and let us hope that soon again we may have an evening as thoroughly enjoyable. Au revoir to the Class of 1939. B. J. H., '39 D.

Although this name may imply frivolous students, our group is better known for its stability. The Class of 1940 may indeed be proud of its record thus far. Think of our representatives in the Debate Club! They have studied intensely this year and are looking forward to a banner year in debate next year with glory to the school and to our class. With marked skill and sportsmanship the Junior Girls won the intra-mural basketball championship. There are others whom we must not forget, who have at- tained the high standards for their class-National Honor Society members. representatives in every sport, the exchange programs, the Sewibi and Oracle staffs, forensic, and the plays. It is with these enriching memories we hesitating step into the covet- ed place of the Seniors. The class consists of a membership of one hun- dred twenty-one, who are governed happily by Miss Hubbell, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Bolin, with the leadership of their very capable officers: Michael Macaluso, President: Porter Murdock, Vice-Presi- dent, and Doris Jean Hite, Secretary-Treasurer. With all this ability and experience, the Junior Class aims and hopes to uphold the dignified rank of Seniors in the year of 1939-40. D. J.

We were under the guidance of Miss Doty, Miss Koehler, Miss Howland, and Mr. Dambach, who, during the year presented things of interest and gave us infor- mation which will stay with us forever. Many members of the class carried the Sopho- mores to high honors as representatives in such activities as football, basketball, the gym team, and track, glee club, and orchestra. Under the leadership of President Abner Rain- bow, Vice-President Daniel Jerman, Secretary- Treasurer, Robert Gill: and the cooperation of the entire class, the standard of the class was upheld. We all regret leaving our Sophomore year, but are looking forward to the coming'Junior year as a still more successful one. We hope the class to follow will carry on the traditions which we have tried so hard to uphold. R.

Many of the pupils are new to Sewickley High this year, being from out of town. To a variety of experience gives a good beginning to make a splendid ending. Our subjects were different from those in former years: the most difiicult seemed to be Latin, Algebra, and Science, as these were absolutely new to us. However, we soon became accustomed to the school routine and elected the following oilicersz Lawrence Tiernan, President: Richard Ruff, Vice-President: and Julia Richmond, Secretary-Treasurer. Early in the year we elected the following representatives for the Student Council: Ruth Hegner, Helen McVicker, Julia Richmond, Lawrence Tiernan, Donald Mat- tern, and Stanley Jackson. Most of the pupils on the honor roll were from room 103. Room 105 was especially outstanding for its interesting home-room programs. Altogether, the Freshman Class has put in a most enjoyable worth-while year, and hopes that the Freshman Class of next year will do the same.

The officers elected for the entire eighth grade were: President, Jack Greenhouse: Vice-President, Joe Hite: and Secretary, Betty Couser. The duties of these officers are few, but they tend to make the class feel itself more of an organization. One subject, Science, has proven to be very interesting to all. If an eighth grader has run up to you and asked you to locate a star or constellation, or to name the type of cloud in the sky, or why birds migrate, don't be alarmed. It was probably only some inquirer busy in a science project. Many have also brought experiments to class and there worked them to the admiration of the class. The Keyhole, the annual eighth grade paper, was also a new undertaking for us. During the making of this paper, we discovered we had many accomplished writers, poets, and artists in our midst: in fact everybody is represented in some department. The eighth graders realize that this work is helping them make ready for the work to follow in high school years. Moreover, we will try in every way to live up to the standards that have been taught to us since we first entered grade school. B. C., '43 THE SEVENTH GRADE Our class, the class of 1944, numbering sixty-five pupils, is looking forward to attending high school next year. We have tried to prepare ourselves so that we will be a credit to the Sewickley High School both in scholarship and character. Two of the boys have already succeeded in distinguishing themselves by publishing a weekly newspaper. In the years to come we hope to maintain the athletic and educational standards as set before us. Although this last year was saddened by the death of our arithmetic teacher, Mrs. Adams, we will always carry with us happy memories of the patient helpfulness of our Grade School teachers. B.

This is its purpose- a purpose which linds expression in those who are judged worthy of membership in the society. That it is considered the highest distinction attainable in secondary schools attests to its importance, both to the giver and to the receiver. This Society is purely an honorary group, as the name implies. Its outward sign-the pin bearing the Keystone and the flaming Torchfis worn by each member over his heart to remind him of his responsibility to keep the torch ablaze in himself and to encourage fellow-students to cultivate those high ideals which are respected by all. Membership is determined by a faculty committee according to the aforemen- tioned qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Nominations from the faculty are submitted to this committee and are judged on the basis of who has best adhered to the basic characteristics during the preceding three semes- ters, while still leading a normal school life. To those elected in their Junior year -Elizabeth See, Derrill Shankle, and Erwin Hahn, the committee has added in the year 1939, Lupie Barilaro, Jack Beall. Francis Haley, Mary Alyce Balles, Myrtle Breidau, Cecilia Callaghan, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Martha Haley, Marie Hunt, Marjorie Wilson, Seniors: and Norman Brown, Robert Fullman, Max Maust, and Margaret Rose Skeehan, Juniors. Oflicers selected by the group are Derrill Shankle, President: Erwin Hahn, Vice-President: and Francis Haley, Secretary. ln order to show some appreciation of their position, the Sewihi Chapter of the National Honor Society has this year rendered a few special services to the school. Most important has been the completion of the handbook of informa- tion begun the previous year. This booklet, so necessary to a full school life, will be available to all students this coming September. A service not as lasting in value, was done when the members also took charge of the ticket sales for both the Shakespearean and Senior Plays. F. H., '39 lt was in the early fall of 1938 that the Senior Student Council before the assembly took the solemn pledge given by Mr. Stroup. From the moment of that promise. the Student Council with deep feeling and high ambition promoted a wide-spread interest in the school's affairs. A very social aspect marked council work this year. The December Alumni Dance. which is a yearly tradition, gave former students a chance to re-acquaint themselves with their old schoolmates. We also held a most enjoyable Style and Tea Show. with the mothers, daughters, and friends as guests of honor. The most successful accomplishments of the year were a Bake Sale held in April and the Clean-Up Campaign. Locker inspection. too, demanded cooperation by both councils plus our Tardy Campaign which was held for one month, with the object of reducing the number of tardy marks. The members of the executive committee of this governing body are: Derrill Shankle, President: Martha Haley, Vice-President: and Analana Campbell, Secre- tary-Treasurer. This year under the leadership of Miss Hubbell, the Girls' Council elected for their officers: Marjorie Wilson, President: Martha Haley, Vice-President: and Analana Camp- bell, Secretary. The Boys' Council under the guidance of Mr. Stroup, chose for their officers: Derrill Shankle, President: Jack Beall, Vice-President: and Michael Macaluso. Secretary. In addition to the officers the Council consists of: Ruth Ellis, Francis Haley, John Sincell, Doris Jean I-lite, Porter Murdock, Mary Henderson, David See. Robert Galcy, Mary Lou Black, Abner Rainbow, and Marie Morley. Our council feels that the cooperation offered by both students and faculty have made a good year for all. This governing body also studied the rules of Parliamentary Law and gained practice in many features of its usage. A. B. C., '40 Forty-nine Fifty f Many long and busy hours were spent this year, training for the contests in State Forensic and Music events. All volunteers did creditable work, though some attained higher honors than others. For the Poetry Reading Contest, Camille Macaluso, at Leetsdale, selected Browning's Andrea del Sarto. Mary Evelyn Ducey gained second place with her original oration, Lest We Forget as also did Mary Alyce Balles in declamation on the subject Americanism. These girls were all good contestants, deserving of compliments. Likewise in Music comes the reward of hard work and patient drilling. Appearing in contest in the home auditorium, Erwin Hahn played brilliantly on his violin, but the verdict was a second place. All who hear him predict a future of success: he impresses. Three songsters: Mary Hurd, Harriet Emrich, and Helen Hurd, known as the Girls' Trio, sang well in the County Contest at Crafton. The Double Mixed Quartet, including Evelyn Scott, Ruth Walker, Sally Cook, Kathryn Winegardner, Robert Jones, Wesley Graham, Don Kral and Robert Keith brought back the honor of a second place. At West View, Betty Jayne Barclay, soprano, and Wesley Graham, baritone, entered as soloists. Though neither was a winner, satisfactory was the record: they worked faithfully in preparation and they sang well. Honors of the year! The school feels proud of the Mixed Quartet-Betty Jayne Barclay, soprano, Martha Haley, alto, Dick Greenhouse, tenor, and Francis Haley, bass. They won first in Allegheny County, then in the District which made them champions of Southwestern Pennsylvania. These achievements sent them to Norristown to compete in the State Finals. There they were ranked second, missing first by few points. A fine record, speaking volumes for singers and their trainer, Miss Stewart. B. J. B., '39 Through the corridors strains of music reverberate to mingle with the sounds of orchestras which, year in and year out have contributed to the grand sounds of high school music. This year's group adds its record, not so mighty as some others perhaps, but. nevertheless, having its own place in our life. The orchestra is taken for granted by almost all. including perhaps its own members: but no! Recorded somewhere in each student's memory is an impression of music mingling with the songs of chapel programs and of the musical numbers accompanying the school plays. Because of a scarcity of members. the orchestra has been forced to rely on few instruments which bear too great a burden. Shall we no more hear the soul filling throbs of the bass viol? Will there not arise some prodigy to restore its former glory? May not the list of soloists increase? Only then will the orchestra have its place of high honor, though we would not withhold due praise for the loyal who give us so much of extra pleasure in our school programs. The ranks of the violin section were filled this year by Markham Conway, Erwin Hahn. Robert Eaton. Robert Fullman, Martha Haley, and Henry Blanchard. ln the brass section. Seymour Robertson, Evelyn Scott, Francis Haley, and James Nagel upheld the trumpets: Jack Luzadre. Fred Burkholder, and Richard Ruff came with saxophones: James Menz, Dan Davis, and Francis Kramer carried on with clarinets: Elmer Winters was solo trombonist: Dick Boyd appeared as drummer. Beatrice Kozar and Harriet Emrich accompanied on the piano. Few realize the constant effort. careful cooperation, and infinite patience lthe latter, especially on the part of the directorl, necessary for a group of instrumen- talists to attain any degree of proficiency. Special credit goes to Miss Stewart for her perseverance in molding an orchestra out of apparently sparse material. E. H., '39 Piftyeone Fifty-two Where the Tuscan sun is -that is the Glee Club whose voices echo softly through the building on Monday and Friday. They are singing an old Italian folk song-wMarianina, a favorite selection. Yes, two rehearsals are held weekly, so Miss Stewart often takes boys and girls separately: and as a result all sections are more sure of themselves. The real effect shows when the ensemble sings, and the reputation of the Glee Club grows. Though her charm is yet -. Proud of our Glee Club? Indeed, yes: for who of us can forget its part in the Christmas programfthe early caroling in the halls, the candle processional, the thrilling voices in special numbers? Somehow the familiar carols never before sounded so sweet. Marianina! Tra-la-la! Moreover the Glee Club sponsored an entire musical program later in the year, and it has added to other programs at home and abroad, especially such soloists and groups as appeared in State Music Contests. The crowning feature of the year is the operetta featuring the many solo voices in Once in a Blue Moon. The singers are: Jean Atwell, Betty Barclay, Mary Alyce Balles, Catharine Carey, Helen Causey, Dean Curtis, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Marie Hunt, Mary Hurd, Ruth Hawes, Doris Jean Hite, Irene Halvorsen, Ruth Klicker, Geneva McCandless, Mignon McVicker, Birdie Mitchell, Margaret Meyer, Gloria Nester.

M. E. D., 39 The Oracle, Sewickley High School's news medium, has enjoyed another suc- cessful year in I938-1939. The chief purpose has been to bring to the students and townspeople, news of the school activities, feature stories, and other interests of varied sort. The election of officials, held in September, resulted in the school's choice of Yolanda Bova as Editor-in-Chief and Mary Alyce Balles as Assistant Editor. Staff meetings were held regularly every Monday afternoon when a survey of the week's activities were made and assignments handed out. The staff worked faithfully so that its columns might present as fully as possible, a complete record of the year as checked with the weekly calendar. A few interesting items may have been over- looked, but the staff hopes not many. On the staff this year were Mary Evelyn Ducey, Mary Jane Eaton, Helen Carter, and Lupie Barilaro as Senior Class reporters. Louis Damaso '39 ably handled the sports department which demanded great care and constant reporting during the entire year. The Junior Class reporters were Doris Jean Hire, Gloria Nester, Jean Severance, Kathryn Winegardner, and Albert Von Hofen: Sophomore, Jean Atwcll: Freshman, Edward Barger. Betty Couser brought reports from the eighth grade. Other volunteers at times contributed articles of interest. The staff gratefully appreciates Miss Kerr's cooperation and helpful advice which have contributed to the success of this year's Oracle. Sincere thanks are also extended to Mr. Nevin, publisher of the Sewickley Herald, who has faithfully con- tinued his cooperation with the Oracle staff in publishing our portrayal of the traits and events of Sewickley High. To next year's staff go our heartiest wishes for a most successful and eventful Oracle. May they gain as much as we from earlier experiences. Y. B., '39 Fifty-three Fifty-four - X. . , A - To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high standards of Christian character, and to stand together for the four square develop- ment of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living, With graduation this year, a group will leave their high school days, and with them, the innumerable good times they experienced with the Hi-Y. None will be able to take active part again, but all can, and undoubtedly will, carry for many years to come, the effects of Hi-Y guidance. This year, continuing the program started last year, the Hi-Y, assisted by the Girl Reserves, organized a Clean Scholarship Society. This society stands for absolute honesty in all school work, and has been very valuable in establishing independence in and out of the classroom. On next year's club, is urged an emphasis on this society, in an effort to establish its standards as a habit of Sewickley students. i This was indeed a gala year for the Hi-Y, for who will ever forget the friendly competition with the Girl Reserves, the parties with the girls, the dances, the Goofers, the discussions over get-togethers with Cory, and the splendid guidance of Mr. Borger and his co-workers. None will ever forget that memorable dish- washing party, or our last Girl Reserve Party. Along with all the fun, came an equal amount of work and effort to be really the leading club of the school. Our efforts along the lines of Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living, were undoubtedly felt, and will continue to be felt in years to come. It is with great regret that the Seniors take leave of their grand days with the Hi-Y. The oflicers and leaders of the club for 1938-39 are: Mr. E. M. Borger. Sponsor and Senior Leader: Mr. Hagerstrand, Junior Leader: Mr. James Goodwin, Sophomore Leader: Joseph Tiernan, President: Jack Clay, Secretary-Treasurer: and Jack Luzadre, Vice-President and Editor of the Hysteria. J. L., '39 The Girl Reserves look back on a memorable year beginning with the Welcome Party in the early days of school, ending with the Farewell to the Seniors. The happy evenings spent at the Annex give a crowded line of memories. The events when Miss Foster, Mrs. Wahl, Mrs. Shoemaker, and Mr. Mendenhall spoke. bring- ing messages in lines of frivolity, entertainment, serious problems-these claim nrst mention. Then the good times of the yearfthe Kid Party, the Copper Car- nival---- and what busy getting ready!-the dances. the Play Day, our line Mother- Daughter dinner with that farce to end the program! and our Christmas and Thanksgiving thought for others comes to mind, The Squaw Squabble witnesses its second year this time with Camille Macaluso as editor. With the leadership of Mrs. Williams, supplemented by Miss Kerr and Miss Foster. the club of sixty-seven members displayed a strong cooperative spirit in every project undertaken. Never before was a group so loyal to its offlcers and its programs as were the girls who met so regularly this year. The oilicers have indeed filled their offices well. Every meeting was well planned and well conducted. The linancial condition of the club was above par. We must bid farewell to: Elizabeth See, President: Mary Evelyn Ducey, Vice President: Mary Alyce Balles, Secretary: Betty Jane Haley, Treasurer: Marie Hunt, Program Chairman: Dorothy Brooks, Social Chairman: Elsie Steigerwald, Council Representative. To the new cabinet we extend the best of wishes: Ruth Walker, President: Doris Jean Hite, Vice President: Marion Harrison, Secretary: Barbara Bollinger, Treasurer: Jean Neely, Program Chairman: Mignon McVicker, Social Chairman: Mary Henderson. Council Representative: and June Steigerwald, Squaw Squabble Editor. M. A. B., '39 Fifty-five Fifty-six l 0 UQ Q0-fvggii' fCbfVc?:.1!y fi ,I waist Who works hardest to keep things moving? To one crowd there is only one answergthe boys behind the scenes, the very special crew of workers who meet on Tuesday by schedule, every day or so by pressure of work needing to be done, and sometimes on the job day and night. They even decided on a uniform this year-4 overall coats with Stage Guild on the back--to save wear and tear on their suits. They are necessary to every program presented on the stage: public speaking classes, assembly programs, evening engagements of school or public. Double Door made the special for this year when the special door had to be made. Then they bor- rowed Mr, Thompson's bandsaw and set up a shop in their room. Richard Doughty was manager first semester, and Norman Brown, in the second. The new Public Address system, bought through the Magazine Subscription Campaign, became a big object of interest. With its help this busy gang put on two plays of their own, demonstrating the various sound making devices which are used by radio and stage, Elmer Fisher, Robert Pullman, and Norman Brown wrote plays for the hour-Mob Busters and Wingless, a war sketch. The sound effect men were Fullman and Brown, Richard Doughty, Glenn Beitel. and Edwin Smith, Others in various parts were Gerald Moses, Howard Malone, Edward Barger, Robert Stone, Richard Ruff, Malcolm Smith, and Billy Wolfe. These were so well done that the program was given as an exchange program at Avalon. The chief compliment of the year was the word of the visiting Shakespearean troupe who found the guild the best they had met in high schools over the land. The newest work in the high school is presented here in a group of strong fellows. At the beginning of the year Chief Prendergast of Sewickley suggested that a safety patrol be started by the high school inasmuch as the townspeople and borough officials were much in favor of such an organization. Thomas North- cott. senior. was appointed Captain because of the fact that he had experience with a safety patrol at another school. Volunteers were called for and a sufiicient num- ber of boys responded. lThe time which these boys take off from school is part of a study hall.n After an inspection. the most crowded crossings for the grade school children were soon fortified with two members of the Safety Patrol. The duty of the boys is to help the children across the street by telling them when to cros' or by crossing with them. Different groups of boys are on duty in the morning, before lunch. before school in the afternoon, and after school. These boys are on duty until all the children are in school or until they are near home. The patrol now consists of about twenty-uve boys headed by a captain and two lieutenants. Immediately after the patrol began to function, official white belts and badges were provided by the borough. Soon official white raincoats and hats were purchased with the Safety Patrol insignia on the back. These coats greatly aided the work of the patrol and served to gain much more regard for the patrol's authority. The service of the patrol was not limited to work at street crossings. At nearly all of the football games the patrol kept back the crowd and kept the Held clear at the half. The town celebration of Hallowe'en was greatly aided by the services of the patrol. The patrol boys helped clear the way for the parade and also aided in keeping the contestants in order. M. M.. '40 U3 H Q yu P4 Q Q .N P4 v-. Us 'S U1 .2 Fifty-seven Fifty-eight The Spring Play, produced by a Senior cast, was a highly entertaining, melo- dramatic affair-Double Door by McFadden. A very effective job was made of the sensational story of mystery in which the embodiment of cruelty is finally defeated. Victoria Van Bret, acted brilliantly by Dorothy Brooks, dominates -completely her sister Caroline-Catharine Carey, a gentle, affectionate girl, whose terror was most realistically portrayed. She is still working on her brother RipfStanley McPherson made a strong appeal in his desire to break away and his feeling that it is all hopeless. His strength is found in his bride Anne, enacted by Mary Evelyn Ducey who denes Victoria pleasantly at first and then with strong determination. In Victoria's struggle against Anne she is opposed also by her dignified lawyer, Mr. Neff, Don Clay, and Dr. Sully, Jack Luzadre, a friend of Anne and Rip. Both these interesting parts were well acted. Rita Ruettgers as the eliicient housekeeper, Dorothy Tignanelli, the neat maid, Lupie Barilaro, the impeccable butler, and Earl White, the impassive footman-all played their parts excellently. William von I-lofen made an interesting study of the man from Tiffany, coming with the precious family pearls for the bride, and Sam Mecle was a keen detective. The play, highly charged with excitement, moves to a most dramatic last moment held by Victoria defeated in her particular aims. The stage setting with old-time furniture and the costumes of the early twentieth century were most effective. Marjorie Wilson read the Foreword for her classmates, and Elsie Steigerwald was bookholder. Entertainment between times was provided by the orchestra with a special numberflirwin Hahn as violin soloist in Meditation from Thais. accompanied by Beatrice Kozar at the piano, Comedy reigned when underclassmen presented the Mid-year play to an appre- ciative audience. The younger set put on with good effect the light, entertaining Tin Hero. Mrs. Goodyear. the devoted mother. played by Mary Merrill with a deal of spirit, creates an embarrassing situation for her son Douglas whose bewilderment and consternation were well portrayed by Howard Malone. She exaggerates the story of his rescuing from drowning the blithe, attention-loving Mme. Claudette Bordoni. Jean Severance, and through Ruth Tingley, a reporter, gives it all pos- sible publicity. Doug's fiancee, Virginia Ferguson, played by Mary Boal, and her gay friends Annette and Adelaide-parts dramatized by Ruth Shook and Ruth Klicker, form a hero-worshipping group, though his sister Grace, Ruth Walker, and her friend Bunny Wheeler, Alex Taylor, have, and with reason, grave doubts of Doug's ability to swim. To test qualifications for his being admitted into the Heroes' Club, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter WarnerffAlbert von Hofen and Barbara Bollinger made these interesting character studies-propose a swimming match with a professional. Spike Ryder, played by William Beck. Douglas cannot disgrace his mother, so he desperately drives himself to learn what seems the impossible. After alarming the group by his prolonged absence, he arrives in the nick of time, wins the race, and the girl he loves, and the coveted membership in the club, and justifies his mother's faith. Camille Macaluso gave the prologue. Marie Hunt was the book-holder, the Stage Guild and Orchestra gave their very necessary cooperation, and all went well. Again Mr. Stroup is to be congratulated on the plays of Sewickley High, always acted with careful attention to detail. U Fifty-nine Sixty NS KINGS, QUEENS AND PA A sad look spreads over Mr. Hawes' face as he thinks of the prospect for next year's chess team, for with graduation this year will go four-fifths of just about the best team that ever represented Sewickley in the annals of chess. At the begin- ning of the present school year, only Jack Luzadre and Leonard Bartlotti were left from last year's team. This did not mean any too much around which to build a winning team, but nothing is impossible to Maestro Hawes. Week after week he labored over the checkered board, teaching of Kings and Queens and pawns, till fmally a team well matched among themselves, and powerful from beginning to end was turned out. Jack Luzadre, Erwin Hahn, Leonard Bartlotti, Derrill Shankle, and Jack Krieger, with Joe Hartle as an alternate made up the notable group. This year as in years before, matches were hard to secure, so the playing was more or less limited to within the group. This year's team did do one thing, however, and that is, defeat the strong team of Alumni to the overwhelming score of 5-1. Sixteen players formed the tournament group from which Hahn and Luzadre emerged as champions in a team which also included Bartlotti, Shankle and Krieger. In February great enthusiasm was created by the arrival of Mr. Horowitz. one of the most noted chess players in the world. He came to Bellevue to play a few matches. Several members of the club were lucky enough to meet him: and though no victories were registered, all games were hotly contested. Next year's team has a splendid record to maintain, both in playing and in the keen interest which means hours of practice after school. With the records of the tournament in mind, confidence is felt that with Krieger as head man a strong team will carry on for Mr. Hawes and the school. J. L., '39 The Junior High School Student Council, this year as before, was entirely a separate organization from the Senior Council, but loyally it assisted in aiding and carrying out the plans of the leaders. Members of both are selected on the qualities of natural leadership, organizing ability, scholastic standing, and general character: and together they take the pledge of oflice. As the Boys and Girls groups meet separately it became necessary to elect officers for each council. The girls elected Helen McVicker as president: Ruth Hegner, vice-president: and Dorothy Kaufman, secretary. The boys elected Lawrence Tiernan, president: Donald Mattern, vice-president: and Stanley Jackson, secretary. The Junior Student Council as a whole elected its officers: Lawrence Tiernan, president: Donald Mattern. vice-president: and Stanley Jackson, secretary. The Traffic Squads consisting of Junior High students under Junior High Council members have helped a great deal in keeping the halls in order before school and between classes. Other duties also were carefully attended to. The most important project in which the Council engaged this year was the Tardy Contest. Careful records and comparisons of rooms with other rooms were kept for a month. Rooms 103 and 113 made the high mark, both having perfect records for the entire period. Another school project in which the Girls' Council assisted the Senior group was the Bake Sale held to make funds to pay for buying furniture for the auditorium sta e. gThe leadership of Miss Simpson and Mr. Stroup has been one of careful super- vision and advice. The Council wishes here to thank them and also the student body for its splendid spirit of cooperation. J. R., '42 Sixty-one s- 'J we E m VJ 50 ff! Z 'hi Sixty-two IN ASSEMBLY From the assemblies come many of the out- standing memories of high school days. Worth- while speakers, programs from visiting schools, talents of our own school fellows, procedure of school interests-all combine to produce hours both varied and interesting. The com- mittee in charge of plans this year included Mary Alyce Balles, chairman, Dorothy Brooks, Elsie Steigerwald, Richard Doughty, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Kathryn Winegardner, Gloria Nester, Ruth Klicker, Norman Brown, Gerald Moses, Dan Davis, William Beck, and Burton Bridge. In great excitement the first meeting passed, as the song and cheer leaders for the year were elected in Sewickley's dramatic way. Next came the reminder of rules to be kept, Student Association to join, and a touch of football excitement. That spark was rekindled at various pep meetings when Arthur Wilson, Mary Evelyn Ducey, Elmer Fisher, Rudy Pye- vac, with the incentive of Norman Browns' Pep-o-meter, led the school in enthusiasm over a great football season. This ended in the bonfire on a wet evening after Pep Rally when excitement ran high with Alumni speakers and Mr. Hawes with Caesar's ghost rallying all for the Cory game. Deeply impressive was the Council Installa- tion with its processional, every member light- ing his candle from the flame of the Spirit of Sewickley, the solemn pledge of ofiice, and the answer of the home rooms in terms of high qualities spelling out S. H, Student Council. As each of these representatives spoke, he lighted his letter at the footlights: this added to the theme of lighting the way. Next in order comes the thought of award days when those representing their school in some way, are recognized before their school- mates: so are given the letters for football, basketball for boys and girls, contest awards for gym team members or swimming matches, merit pins from The Post-Gazette, and other symbols of note which may be announcement of fact. Mr. Dufford presented a claim from the Y. M. C. A. for supports in its campaign. Mr. Small came with the plan for magazine subscriptions, whereby under Jack Beall, Joe Tiernan, and Mary Alyce Balles, the school won its Public Address System. A worth hearing talk on Alcohol and Tobacco by Mr. Julius G. White introduced a series of home room programs. Dr. Louis A, Warren told new stories about Lincoln. The Chevrolet films brought by Mr. Iffert proved outstanding in emphasis in Safe Driving and in information on the many products used in making the various parts of a car. At last Mr. Iffert, who usually speaks from the rear of the room, came to the front for a personal introduction and a hearty response. The peak of these was the talk on Alaska by Dr. Clark M. Garber who carried us away to a strange land and through his pictures showed us their homes, the immense animals, the beautiful scenery, the modes of travel, and then donned the clothes to show us life in the Far North. In entertaining vein came the Ex Tempore Program-entertaining to the audience, and the Popular Song Assembly featuring a jazz orchestra, songs flashed on the screen, the Boys' Glee Club, soloists, and violinist - a truly popular hour. Here, too, we mention the plays+A Thanksgiving Adventure, The Hardwick Mystery fused on the Exchange Pro- gramj, The White Phantom, and the most unusual Stage Guild productions, Wingless and Mob Busters, gotten up to demonstrate great variety of radio effects making good use of the P. A. System Land making some money, tool. The Exchange Programs were quite success- ful this year in maintaining that friendly touch between neighboring schools. Leetsdale brought its fine orchestra and the play Here Comes the Bride. The dramatic club of Avalon presented The Romancers, a favorite light comedy. A variety program was the plan of Bellevue- an instrumental trio, a singing quartet, and a novelty act with a play The Knave of Hearts. Coraopolis presented a brass ensemble, a pianist from State Contests, and a one-act play. The crowning achievement was Ambridge's drama- tization of Twelfth Night with effective act- ing and clever stage set. The Music Department gave the school an opportunity to hear the various stars repre- senting the school, the Glee Club, and the orchestra in an interesting program. Best of all was the Christmas program with a play of seasonal theme, songs from the Ger- man classes, the carol singing of the Glee Club with such effect as we have not had for years, and as a last splendid touch the tableau of the manager scene with the Ave Maria on the violin back stage. Others there will be before the close of school, but these are events to be long remem- bered. STYLE SHOW AND TEA Mothers, friends, and the high school girls spent a very enjoyable afternoon on February 17 when they attended the premiere of the Vocational Home Economic Style Show. Har- riett Emrich introduced the program with a piano solo. The Style Show opened with the Cotton Parade. Elizabeth See, as mistress of ceremonies, introduced each model as she crossed the stage and gave a few descriptive phrases about each garment. The Pajama and the Rayon Parades were the other divisions of the Style Review. The garments in the show were made by the modelers. Between the divi- sions of the Style Review, musical and dance numbers were presented: solos by Betty Barclay and Wesley Graham, songs by the Girls' Trio and the Quartet, tap dances by Mary Evelyn Ducey and Cecilia Callaghan. Marjorie Willison, Camille Macaluso, Mar- jorie Wilson, and Ruth Walker gave their interpretation of the Kate Greenway Polka. The program concluded with a violin solo by Erwin Hahn. The incidental music through- out the Style Review was played by Erwin Hahn and Beatrice Kozar. Tea was served in the corridor by the Girls' Student Council to a large group of mothers. HONOR BANQUET FOR THE GRIDIRON HEROES The football squad, boys of the cheerleader group, men of the faculty, and business men of the Village gathered at Elmhurst Inn to celebrate the very successful record of the year. Many comments were directed to the next possible step-winning the championship from Glassport. Mr. Hawes, enthusiastic toastmaster, spoke in verse throughout his share of speaking. He called on many of the guests for words of reminiscence and advice. Members of the Board of Education who spoke were Mr. Heg- ner, Mr. Critchlow, with the past and present secretaries Mr. Engel and Mr. Haude. Towns- men were Mr. Ritchey, representing the Kiwanis Club, which helped sponsor the din- ner, and Mr. Whitlock, whose boys helped make Sewickley's football reputation. Mr. Conway and Mr. Bolin, Mr. Winne, Mr. Dambach, and Mr. Stroup all spoke on some- thing of the game as related to school and life. Earl Wachter, Joe Tiernan, and John Barber expressed the appreciation of the squad for the banquet. The dining room was gaily decorated with items of football--goal posts, pennants, rec- ords, prize footballs. The Red Hatters, Hill- Billies, Ford and his singers provided enter- tainment, and Mr. Holthaus led group sing- ing which added much to the zest of the event which ended with the Alma Mater. WITH THE ALUMNI To create a bond uniting students of tomor- row and today-there is the idea of the annual Christmas dance. To this gala affair of 1938 came a line crowd-quite a thrill to the spon- soring Student Council. Christmas, celebrated in the school as never before, inspired the decorations---trees in the corner: the school inspired the colors of red and blue: the crowd made the air of good fellowship which pre- vailed everywhere. ONCE IN A BLUE MOON As an aftermath of the music record of the year. the Glee Club sponsored a musical romance, Once in a Blue Moon, at the climax of the school year. Once in a Blue Moon, edited by Wathal, presents: After an absence of four years at college, Bob Harrington is expected to return to the home of his foster aunt, Mrs. Mary Mont- gomery lJean Atwelll, whose daughter Sylvia tBetty Barclayj was his boyhood sweet- heart. Having fallen in love with another girl at college. he sends his chum George Tay- lor tJack Luzadrel, who closely resembles him, to substitute for him at the week end party. George has always been anxious to meet Sylvia, whose picture greatly attracts him. He arrives amid preparations for a Spanish Fiesta Lchorusb and finds Sylvia more charm- ing than her photograph. Unexpected guests in the persons of Sir Percival Chetwood fAlex Taylorb. and Mr. Rene LeMon fRobert Keith! arrive and are welcomed as disting- uished noblemen by Mrs. Montgomery, and invited to remain for the festivities, That night while guests are dancing, a robbery takes place, and suspicion is turned on George, who is forced to disclose his identity. Things look bad for him, until the guilty parties are brought to justice. A telegram from the real Bob announcing his marriage, leaves George free to finish the story in the approved fashion. Other important characters are: Moon Lady 1Mary Rial Hurdl, Leatrice Montgomery lBessie Henwoodb, Mr. Babbit Morton fSey- mour Robertson3, Betty Morton fKathryn Winegardnerb, Mrs. Lila Lavender 4QMargaret Meyer5 , Billy Maxwell tWilliam von Hofeni , Suzanne tGloria Nesterj, Hop Sing Hi lHoward Malonel, Skylock Roams QWilliam Beckl, and Chorus of Guests, Reporters, and Travelers, and Spanish Dancers fCecilia Cal- laghan and Mary Evelyn Ducey3, Helen Causey was the business manager and used Mary Jane Eaton as her artist. Camille Macaluso was the bookholder. The Stage Guild played a very important part toward an effective program. H. L. C., '39 JUNIOR AND SENIOR PROM As we gaze into the future a very pleasant sight greets our eyes: The date is June 2, 1939. Amid an array of color and streamers. the couples representing the Junior and Senior classes glide over the floor with the smooth strains of Ernie Nelson and his Orchestra. The gym is beautifully decorated in the Senior class colors: maroon and gold. Congratulations will go to the Prom Committee, which in- cludes Seymour Robinson, Ruth Walker, Doris Jean Hite, Albert Von Hofen, Dan Davis, and John Sincell.

Once again displaying a superb brand of foot- ball, Sewickley shattered records in one game after another to maintain its standing in a championship game. There the team still upheld the honor of Sewickley. After working many weeks Coaches Stroup and Dambach, a new addition to the coaching staff, pronounced the team ready for battle. Traveling first to Aliquippa they won 6-0 in a non-sectional game. The following Saturday the squad ventured to Norwin, for another non-league game, where after four periods of brutal struggle the final gun found the score 0-0. These games gave confidence for more crucial games. On the following Friday began the Class B competition at the classy town of Edgewood. After getting away to a slow start, Sewickley opened a furious attack from all sides and chalked up 26 points on the right side of the ledger to Edge- wood's lonely 6. Hoping to defeat our Class A rival from Bellevue, Sewickley played a hard and tough game but unfortunately, Bellevue, taking advantage of every break. defeated the Red and Blue 6-0. Not to be discouraged by their first defeat the Indians crossed the Ohio and scalped the Neville Island eleven in a sea of rain and mud to the tune of 24-0. Returning to the home gridiron Sewickley continued its winning streak by trouncing Avalon in a razzle-dazle style of Sewihi football, which when once started can't be beat. The score 19-0 and a victory. A confident Leetsdale eleven next put in its bid to keep Sewickley from a virtual championship. From the opening kick-offfif you recall, a score in the first ten seconds of play by Tiernan and Barber on a reverse behind remarkable deception and blocking, Sewickley kept the lead. At the final fun, the demoralized Leetsdale team was on the short end of a 19-0 score. Keeping in mind the '38 Beaver thriller on the local grounds, the squad next traveled down the Ohio to bring home a 24-0 victory. This fray was marked by a field day for Barber who accounted for three of four touchdowns. Knowing that an Avonworth victory would place them in the number one position for a championship play-off, the team entered the game very confidently and was quite surprised at half-time to find the scoreboard reading 7-7. The second half was a credit to football history. A four star backfield plus a granite line ran up three more touchdowns, and 27-7 was the final result. Then came the battle of the year against Cory of Class A standing. Our bonfire friends from across the muddy Ohio found themselves on the unfortunate end-of a 34-0 score. This was our record-breaker for all time, the previous record being the 32 points scored against Oakmont in '36. We were glad to win such an honor over such a foe. The team as a whole played a game of which too much cannot be said. They worked as a unit, and the individual stars had to take the background. ON TO GLASSPORT! A heavy snow sent a disappointed crowd scurrying home to their Thanksgiving dinners. the game being postponed until the following Saturday. Again bad weather made its entrance but nevertheless a perfect team and fine local support traveled the many miles to Clairton stadium to play, as contender for the Class B crown, the favored and heavier Glassport team. With pennants waving and cheers echoing through the valleys surrounding the stadium, the kickoff from Glasport found Sewickley deep in its own territory in a very soft and muddy area. After the ball had see-sawed steadily back and forth, the half ended with the score 0-0, and unrecognizable players drooped wearily to the dressing room. After changing to dry clothes, the teams again made their appearance on the field to play two more long quarters only to no avail. Beyond a doubt Sewickley's hard punting halfback-Kenny Whitlock. produced the thrills of the afternoon. His very fast and long punts were made possible by his educated toe and the wonderful block of his team-mates. Final gun came and score read 0-0. Result- Co-champions of Class B. Too much credit cannot be given to the coaches. Mr. Stroup and Mr. Dam- bach undoubtedly produced the best Sewickley team in many a year. Credit also goes to Joe Reiser, head manager, and his faithful crew-Joe Hammer, Joe Start, Joe Martin, and Tim Abercrombie, also to Dave Ingram for First Aid work. Next year Sewickley enters the group of Class A with stronger competition. ON TO '40 Left End-ROBERT LEE-140 lbs.-Shifty Bobby is one of the best defensive ends in Sewickley football history. Less than ten yards were made around his end the whole season. Just a sophomore and with two years to go. he claims a prediction of great things. Left Tackle-JACK CAIN-165 lbs.-Big Boy Cain held up the left side of the line very effectively. Smiley's punting ability gives him high hopes of a backfield berth in the '40 campaign. Left Guard-EARL WACHTER-165 lbs.- Buzzy's unusual knowledge of football strategy won for him the position of co- captain for this year's team. A product of the Kilbuck Indians, his motto is. They shall not go through. Center-FREDERICK LEGATO-15 5 lbs.- Hard tackling Wojie backs up the line and makes his area an unhealthy one for visit- ing opponents. Freddie's fighting spirit brought the team out of many a tough spot. Center-MAX MAUST-145 lbs.-Ace rival of Legato for the center post, Max proved his weight in gold with his accurate pass- ing. A very stable and competent player. he could always be depended upon in the pinches. Right Guard-NORMAN DEGORI-140 lbs. -After graduating from the Hilltop eleven Jack made his bid for the empty right guard position, and his scrappy spirit proved an asset to the line on both defense and offense. Right Tackle-HARRY LUPINACCI-160 lbs.-Another sophomore and also a Hill- topper. He hopes to change from tackle to a fiashy backfield ace on next year's team. We wish him luck wherever he plays. Sixty-seven Sixty-eight Right End-WILLIAM START-155 lbs.- A former Razorback star and a stellar end. He undoubtedly played his best game at Glassport when his lighting blood was stirred to a fury. Quarterback-JOE TIERNAN-150 lbs.- Romping Joe is one of the team's best blockers, but he is noted mainly for his uncanny knowledge of quarterbacking. Co-captain Tiernan's momentous decisions helped the team in many a scrap. Right Halfback-KENNETH WHITLOCK- 168 lbs.-Kenny is our triple-threat- passing, running. punting. His main gift is punting at which task he is remarkably fast, as was especially noticed at Glass- port. Whittie's punting average for the year was approximately 55 yards. Left Halfback-JOHN BARBER-150 lbs.- Developing from a speedy guard to a speedier backfield ace, Johnny wasn't to be stopped on his wide end sweeps. Out- standing in every game he was forever elusive, and his hard tackling made his opponents keep shy of his territory. Fullback-HOWARD JAMES-160 lbs.-Bud is the curly headed fellow who can be seen plowing. ripping, and smashing through his enemies. When holes weren't there, he made his own. Injuries kept him in- active for a while, but he'll be with us again next year. Fullback-FRANKLIN FORD-170 lbs.- Hunk's bullet passes and great defensive play enabled him to find a first string berth in his Junior year. He hails from Edgeworth and upholds his family tradi- tion of football stars. SUBSTITUTES Ends-ROBERT VALUE-Gramp's noncha- lant playing won him a position at left end. GEORGE RICKER-Played his football like golf, teeing off many of his opponents. Tackles-ALLAN GETZ-He may have had his jaw dislocated, but nevertheless he was in there pitching in the pinches. HOUSTON FORD-Burly Boy has a few years before him to win a first string berth. FRED DIXON-Another Strong Man- 2 ton-could block out any two men coming through the line. Heading for a nrst string berth. GUBICIS-ROSENWALD WITHROW - Had tough opposition for his position. but saw lots of action. BURTON BRIDGE-Bud, the big hand- some Sophomore from the Goofers. showed lots of ability and will bg see? Quarterback - Rocco TUCCI - Ca led th signals when Tiernan was out: had storm opposition. lots of action next year 91 Halfback-FRANK WHALEY-Lambie, could dodge and run his way into almost every game. Was Barber's understudy. JACK NASH-Small, but fast. saw action in many games. Q Again we speak in appreciation of the many who work diligently to give opposi- tion in practice for the team, hoping some day to gain a place in the first eleven. Good luck in '4o.

X, , Never before has the cheerleading squad held such an active career. The five members of the squad: Arthur Wilson, head cheer-leader, Mary Evelyn Ducey, also song leader, Elmer Fisher, Rudy Pyevac. and Margaret Brady-all worked to make all athletic enterprises successful. The most memorable pep programs were Elmer's Broadcast, The Trip into the Future, The Communion with the Spirits- remember? The wires got a little tangled, but who cared for that? Novelties of the year included The Pep Papers published to create enthusiasm. the Cheering Section with the students guaranteeing services, and how it worked! and the pennants sold to provide color on the bleachers. Then the Pep-o-Meter, invented by Norman Brown to measure the volume of enthusiasm, invoking our loudest cheers-it was the feature of features-recognized in the Post-Gazette, with a picture of some energetic cheering. There are so many things to recall-clapping until our hands were burning. the day of election. the training in leading. the Red Hatters, A Tisket! A Tasket, trying to ring that gong and succeeding, Mr. Williams' helpful talks, the swing- ing and school rally songs, the Cory students who crowded our cheering section. the snake walk in the rain and that gasoline fostered bonlire, and the glorious victory next day, cheerleading at Clairton in mud to our ankles, the snow of Thanksgiving Day, the grating of our voices all the next week, the Alma Mater at the close of each pep meeting, deepening the school spirit. Yes, the cheer leaders play a big part in stirring the vim of the school, and this year's group used original things. The Pep Papers had many features: reports, forecasts, comments, especially punning on the players, jokes, and many ideas all calculated to increase enthusiasm. M. E. D.. '39 Sixty-nine Seventy BASKET THROUGH THE i gf We survey the basketball season of '38-'39, and find a record marred by various elements of difficulty. First comes a belated getting into practice due to the extended football season. The Cory game was a victoty-26-22- that cheered the boys immensely, for it was non-sectional. League competition presented another situation. Here was stiff opposition, so strong that battle how they would, the lads of the Red and Blue seemed unable to stem the movement of an adverse season. Contests were extremely close- several games had the extra-period feature, but something held the boys from victory. Hard luck, inexperience, a team that had the power yet didn't click- where lies the reason? Spectator interest lagged which didn't help the situation. The strong competitive spirit among the players was utilized to give variety of experience to a number of future hopes. Watch next year's team built around Cain, Godsell, Hendricks, Ford, and Conway, all of whom stand in the records of this year. Directing the team was Captain Joe Tiernan, a good leader and a great guard. J. T. Clay was a capable worker: Jack Nash, though facing difficulties did good service for the squad: Smiley Cain with his great height and reach made a fine center-post: K. O. Hendricks is smooth on the floor as well as off: Lefty Godsell thrilled all with spectacular overhead shots: Henry Ford, former Acmy star, com- bines a gay personality with hot shot playing: and last, Markham Conway, whose height and happy-go-lucky spirit won him a place in his sophomore year. LETTERMEN-Tiernan, Nash, J. Clay, Godsell, Hendricks, Cain, Ford, Conway. COACH--H. B. Winne. MANAGERS-Bartlotti and Hegner. TOTAL POINTS-Sewickley 350--Opponents 570 A team which paced all other W. P. I. A. L. squads from start to finish, was produced this season in Sewickley. even though Coach Winne lost more than half of last year's varsity squad. After long hours of careful practice, selection was made for the team, and the chosen few were rounded into satisfactory shape. The first competition was in a W. P. I. A. L. meet in the Pittsburgh Com- munity House. As is customary the Sewickley team came away with the honors, capturing 8 of the 18 medals awarded, ranking first as a team. INDIAN CLUBS-l. Hahn, 2. Ford, 3. Mendicino. HORIZONTAL BARS-fl. Hahn, Z. von Hofen, 3. Witzleb. RINGSf-l. von Hofen. PARALLEL BAR-3. Witzleb. SIDE HORSEH-4. Tucci. This record qualified all but Tucci for the Western Regional Meet held at Slippery Rock, but Witzleb was prevented from attending by illness. In that meet Ford with exceptional agility won nrst with the Clubs while Hahn showing great form won third on the Horizontal Bar. These placings qualified our stars for the meet of meets-the all-wide State Gymnastic Finals at Penn State. Upheld by the spirited support of many Sewihi graduates at State, the boys turned in excellent performances. Ford with perfect timing and excellent wrist work, blazed his way to honor as runner-up for State Championship in Club swinging, Hahn and Mendicino taking fifth and eighth. von Hofen took sixth on the rings. Thus passes another season of successful effort. Three letter-men graduate- Hahn, von Hofen and Witzleb. Two others, Ford and Mendicino, with Tucci will form the nucleus of another banner group. The marked record of success attained in this iield, year after year, assures us that in Sewickley the gym team will continue to be tops. Seventy-one Seventy-two V s 0 o ' 413 X0 996- lf JCM' I 4 X 6 C9 xXQ' Tennis has had a great season with a record of live wins and no defeats. In the middle of April, life stirred, racquets were hunted up and restrung, and plans were made under Mr. Williams' direction for the forthcoming season. Underclass- men l,Sophomores and Juniors! turned out to make their bid for a playing position. The team Hnally shaped up. Once again, Johnny Sincell, former Latimer High champ and number one man in l938, led the netters. Close competition reigned for number two place between Stanley McPherson and Jack Luzadre. These three played the singles, with Markham Conway and Donald Mattern, the Sophomore aces, playing doubles with Luzadre and Sincell. When the Y courts were put in good shape, Mr. Williams moved practice headquarters from the gym, Then working on various shots kept them busy--h long shots, cut shots, the servcr's ace, volley: and all fundamentals were strength- ened, Then they set out for keen competition in Section I. West View fell before the Red and Blue at the Y courtsf5 to 0. The next week Cory dropped. Sewickley taking all matches. Beaver Falls, Avonworth, West View, and Cory again dropped in the double court of defeat, 5 to O. The second meeting with Avonworth proved a tougher one with competition coming hard and strong, but Sewickley stiffened to meet it and pushed across the final volley to win 3 to 2. An unusual situation prevailed in one game where a girl and boy team played in the double. All honors to a team which can compete a season with such ratingf-an ace team which has yet to fall into the net of defeat, Such a series of successes makes a season of satisfaction. To the team of next year goes a challenge to equal this record. Built around Sincell, Conway, and Mattern, experience should count and the Red and Blue hang up another racquet of victory. lnvaluable to the players is not only the playing of the game in representing the school but also the spirit of cooperation, the sportsmanship of the winner, the training and timing essential in controlled action. With the outrush of March and the coming of April, Coach Stroup called for all golf candidates, and after a brisk talk, the boys rushed home, cleaned up clubs. and began swinging. With plenty of competition four men of last year won first positions: l. Fred Legato, 2. Joe Tiernan, 3. Henry Ford, 4. George Ricker, while Lupie and Peter Barilaro, golfing brothers, scoring a tie in tryouts, alter- nated in number 5 position. These boys teed away to a fine start in winning Section l, when they beat Leetsdale l4-l. Next to fall was West View 12-3. Avonworth went down HM JM: Avalon I5-0: Bellevue IZ-3. The story was repeated in the second half except for a protest on the West View match which was then awarded to Sewickley, and a scare in the match with Bellevue which was finally defeated 8-7. The record goes on with Sewickley's I3 to Leetsdale's 2: SLQ to West View's 6LQ: 105 to Avonworth's 4M: 15 to Avalon's 0. Sewickley's total points ll9M-opponents 3OM. The individual scores are: Ford 26, Tiernan 232, Ricker 23, Legato 19, Pete Barilaro l6M, Lupie Bari- laro l l M . Next came the honor of competing in Intersectional Meets. On this occasion Sewickley was matched with Penn Township of Section IV. counted as the best in the League, and certainly laid a definite claim to that honor by their showing at the Allegheny Country Club. Every man shot in the low eighties, but Penn Township was lower, and the match ended IZM-ZLQ Penn Township went on to other victories. Legato and Tiernan are scheduled for the W. P. I. A. L. Medal Tournament held to determine the four golfmen to compete at State College for State champion- ship. Mr. Stroup, as coach, feels rightly proud of the standing achieved. Able man- ager for the year was Allan Johnson. Seventy-three Seventy-four The main athletic event of the year for girls is the intra-mural basketball series, in which the classes compete for the school championship. This year, for the first time in many seasons, the victory did not go to the Senior girls. Instead, they ranked second, while first honors went to the Juniors. Out of six games, the Juniors won five and lost one. The Seniors won four and lost two. Joint man- agers of the winning team were Mary Boal and Ruth Walker. High scorer was Ruth Klicker. For the Seniors, Yolanda Bova was manager and Betty Jane Haley, high scorer, C No definite captains for the team were elected, but girls were chosen to act as captains for each game. Games were refereed by June Willoughby. The girls of the Junior team will receive a letter on the basis of quarters played and membership on the squad including preceding two years.

Practice began when the weather permitted, and experienced members and recruits worked steadily to make an excellent season. Participation in nine meets was planned. Records to date show Sewickley's strength: 85M to Ben Avonk l4-Z'3: 75 to Lxewdahk 20: 72-lf3 to Etnak 27-ZX3: 66 to Bellevue's '54, and Mt. Lebanon and Brentwood still to be met. In the Allegheny County Meet. Sewickley tied for second with a score of 37 points. These included lirsts in the 100 and Z204records made for the fourth consecutive year, and first in the broad jump--for the third consecutive year. John Barber set a new Allegheny County record of 20 feet, 6 inches in the broad jump. and Billy Curtis set a new mile record of 4 minutes and 43 seconds. Barber placed second in the 100 in the Mansfield Relays, the largest high school meet in the country with contestants from five states meeting in Mansfield, Ohio.

During his stay in Sewickley, Mr. Danner has developed athletes who bring him, the school, and themselves credit. When he won, he accepted victory quietly, and when defeated accepted the decision as fair and square, showing the spirit of a real sportsman. Seventy-five Seventy-six THE FINALS IN 1938 The last word of 1938 showed a great year for Sewickley in winning four local meets, losing one. The records show Sewickley's 71 to Leetsdale's 20: 69M to Pitcairn's 26Mg 41 to Mt. Lebanon's 54: 53 to Bellevue's 47: 75 to Etna's 25. John Barber in the W. P. I, A. L.
