MU STAN6 To Time - Give me hours of work happily done, balanced with time to rest in the sun. Give me moments to love, to care, to sing, occasion to reflect on the order of things. Summers of fun, autumns of knowing, Winters of peace, springtimes of growing Everything wrapped in a single theme: Give me plenty of time to dream! - G. Iohnston -.4 'EU alu- .

Happy high school days, blithesome hours, busy hours spent in fun and frolic and work are gone by forever. In the Sewihi of 1940, we give you the motivating instance, the spark of recollection, which will in the days to come, bring back memories once treasured but seldom recalled. Pour edicatfion EMBERS of the Class of 1940 join in honoring Miss Rhea Stewart and Mr. William J. Thompson, who have taught special handicraft classes so effec- tively. With Miss Stewart instructing one group and Mr. Thompson the other, we have learned to construct things ornamental as Well as useful, and to use our hands more skillfully. When we assume responsibilitv in the world outside the classroom, the practical knowledge gained in our contacts with these diligent instructors will be of great assistance to us. Miss RHEA STEWART Five WILLIAM J. THOMPSON F aculty Good old public schools days are overl Glance back for a brief vision of the last twelve years and cling in precious memory to those light-hearted, care free hours.

Then from the forest An old spirit sage comes forth And standing there where last the eerie loon Had left his echo for the wintry north. On the lake shore under the rising moon, The ancient speaks: This Wood is a world unborn That lives at night to fade with dreams That break as does the dawn in streams Of ribbon rent asunder by the sun .,.. I am the sage of things to come By night I live, by day struck dumb I sleep in the minds of youth . . . But now the night is ebbing fast The eastern blue on hills, grey cast, Washes the shore of another dawn . .

Life is long, and we may stray away from you. In our memories we will hold. The ideals that you did mould: For your teachings day by day we follow through. Life is long, but when we're away, A happy yesterday we will remember. We are sorry now to leave, But in parting we believe All the things we've learned from you Will see us through. ' You have done a lot for us, And we will do all we must. All we do will have been done through you In our hearts we hold you dear, And by your light We will steer. We respect your teachings and our teachers, too. Classmates and Pals, for them we ll hold our love For our dear old friends we'll always be longing We are sorry now to leave But in parting we believe All the things we've learned from you Will see us through. Twentyfsix Memoirs of the Class of IQ4O E, the Class of 1940, are about to enter a new phase of life. With us we take our memories of the past years in Sewickley High School, which we recall with varied emotions. We have been touched by victory, disappointment, happi- ness, and sorrow. With the influence of the school deeply affecting all of us, we, solemnly, in our caps and gowns, listen to the Class Sermon given by The Reverend Mr. Amerman and then gravely ponder over the Commencement Address and the various ideas expressed by the class repre- sentatives. How quickly time passes! Does it seem four years, since bewildered Freshmen huddled around the bulletin board to find the number of new home rooms. And having once found the room, we often appeared in another room. As we scan the yesteryears, many insig- nificant things seem to make a large portion of our school lives. Do you remember how we learned, or stumbled over, Latin conjugations: how we found a real use for Z in algebra: the fire drills fsome acciden- talk: our first experience with detention after the stories we had been told about it: and fumble fingered typing: and those never to be forgotten attempts to take shorthand? Weren't we impressed when Mr. Conway made known to us the regulations of the school at our first assembly. Soon we were shown how beautifully the holidays could be observed, Most likely the best remem- bered will be the Christmas Carols and plays. We have been taken into China Today by Mr. Fung, given safe driving and walking instructions by movies, made to think by Dr. I-ludnut's discussion on Peace, and led to understand the story of a real Man Without a Country. Musical programs, musical appreciation, and the combined Cory and Sewickley orchestras were very much enjoyed, But the award assemblies were special, for then we could see our deserving members receive their let- ters and stripes and receive our own. We look back upon outstanding plays with The Tin Hero, Double Doors, The Cat and the Canary and many short plays for assembly to give recollections of parts well taken. We felt that Sewickley fostered art. We certainly can be proud of our athletic records. Several new records have been made and broken during our career. We recall champion football teams and our entrance into Class A competition. Our class has won many honors in track, gym, golf, and tennis contests. Wasn't it fun to cheer for the boys' class basketball team before the main game. Weren't the girls excited when our girls' basketball team came out in first place to receive their stripes? Remember how we cracked our voices at those Pep Meetings where so much school spirit was shown? New dramatic aids for cheering were devised by Stage Guild and cheerleaders. l-low thrilled we were when we learned that we could have six cheerleaders and two song leaders. The snake walk, bonfire, and Caesar's prophecy which invoked greater hopes before the Cory game will long be remembered. What fun we had in our classes. The baseball games and Chinese speaker in Mod- ern History class, that microphone in Pub- lic Speaking, which seemed to frighten us all, the trips to the filtration plant with the Civics class, the awful odors in Chemistry- all make memories which will linger long: also those cold snakes and slimy worms in Biology. Don't you wonder how those snakes escaped by themselves? How hard we worked on those Junior Essays. We were very sorry when Mr. Gill, Miss Foster, Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Danner left: but we gladly welcomed Mr. Dambach, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Nevin. The outside activities provided a variety which broke the monotony of our school lives. The Clean-Up Campaign with the artistic posters, the contests for Clean-Up Queen and the school carnivals provided great amusement. We were justly proud of the exhibit and program at the Edge- worth Club. Oh! and our participation in Forensic contests where we distinguished ourselves, What very pleasant memories we have from our social events - the Sophomore I-lallowe'en party, the ghost stories, gay cos- tumes, amusing contests, and dancing: the balloon decorations at the Junior Prom. lWasn't it a job trying to finance it though?D and learning to dance the newest steps to the obliging victrola. Then, too, there were the numerous Christmas parties with an odd Santa Claus. But probably the most important are the new friendships we have made. These along with the lesson and memories that we are taking with us will help us to face the new life we are entering. May the Class of 1940 find happiness and success as beneficial citizens of our great democracy. Twenty-seven In 'Yeats To Come All aboard! all aboard! the Class of '40 Special leaving on track one for the Hfteenth annual reunion of the class of 1940. The train is nicely filled, but there are still a few seats left for the ones we have to pick up between here and Sewickley. Let's have a walk through the train and see some of the old friends. Now who is that? Oh yes, that is June Victoria Steigerwald. June is an excellent writer of short stories. Beside her is Jean Neely, one of the highest paid private secretaries in the country. They are talking to Nlarge lVillison, buyer for Saks, and Ruth Klicker, model in one of the swanky Fifth Avenue shops. Across the aisle Bill Mooney, famous swing band leader, is talking to Carl lVilliams, his pianist and arranger, about a new song. Just as we were getting on the train Ann Sharman, the trained nurse, and next behind her was Melvin Baumgartel, a high pressure salesman, renewing a case. We just noticed that sitting away from the noise are Doctors Maust and Beck and, by their serious looks. they're talking shop. Sitting in front of them Bruce Myers, the real estate salesman, who is bound and determined to sell Charles Pflugh, the sports reporter. a gold mine out in Lost Gulch. Across the aisle are Joe and Rocco Tucci, who now operate a chain of grocery stores, and in the same seat with them is Ralph Gallucci, piccolo player with the New York Symphony. The train is slow- ing up now so we had better sit down and talk with Bettie King. Bettie won the Pulitzer prize in journalism last year. Well, look who just got on. If it isn't the Mayor of Big Town himself, none other than Jack Lottes, the shrewdest politician that ever lost an election. With him are his staff and crew of high paid stenographers, including Michael Macaluso, chief advisor and financial manager, Bessie Henwood and Sally Cook are his secretaries. Dorothy Bengele and Esther Hageman of the Gleniield alumnae, got on at that last stop also. Dot is a professional roller skater, and Esther is a receptionist. We can hear Addie Tucker and Dorothy Tall who are known professionally as Tucker and Tall. Dorothy plays the piano and Sophie sings. Let's walk through some of the other coaches and see who else is along. Ahhh, this is the diner, Over at the first table are those business menffNorman Brown, the Oleo King, and Dan Davis, the efficiency expert. With them are Ruth Walker, popu- lar Broadway actress, and Albert Von Hofen, press agent ahead of her new show. Howard Malone, the male lead, has everyone at the table laughing. The next table is reserved by the engineers, and they seem to be discussing a big problem by the way Seymour Robertson, chemical engineer, is throwing his hands around. Bob Fullman, an electrical engineer, disagrees but Porter Murdock and Garth Blanchard, aeronautical engineers, seem to lean with Seymour. Nearby, the nurses seem to be enjoying their breakfast as well as listen to Evelyn Scott tell about her wealthy patient. Let's see if we can remember them. Why sure, there are Ruth Reel and Mary Grace Darroch. We find up there at a table for two, those two big athletes, Ray Godsell, the baseball star, and Jack Cain, who plays pro football, and, leaning over the table laughing with them, is Hank Ford, the golf pro. Just leaving the diner are Dorothy Lourimore, who works for the Government, and Vera Bowman. who runs a large dairy farm. We had better leave the diner, too, before we get too hungry. Oops- excuse me, why it's little Mary Boal, the airline hostess. I didn't know she was to be here, Ah ha! this is the airfconditioned chair car, and sitting there getting inspiration is Rose Meta, who has just recently published a volume of her own poems. Howard James is her publisher. Sitting near are those two beautiful models-Virginia Zahn and Betty Ellerton, whose hands appear in many of the popular advertisements. With them are Jean Severance and Marion Harrison, now starring in I-Iollywood's best, There are two real professionals, Bob von Hofen and Albert Valenzi. Bob is a race car driver, and Flip is an illustrator for one of the men's fashion magazines. Mary Rose Grubbs, owner of the Grubbs Nlusic Store, is asking the porter how much longer to Sewickley, and Bob Ingram a C, P, A., is laughing at her impatience to get back to the old home town, Here a little card game is in session. Baxter Twenty-eight ln. Tears to Baltz, owner of a group of drug stores, and Jimmie Barrie, publisher of a large metro- politan newspaper, are standing Edward Quig, National Skeet Shooting Champ. The latter seems to be winning through the help of George Hegner, Hollywood film idol. Over at the magazine rack, Analana Campbell, New York librarian, is explaining one of the new book reviews to Margaret Rose Sheehan, high principal, and Rita Hawes, a grade school teacher. Nan Withrow and her brother Rosenwald are leafing through another magazine. Nan runs a nursery school, and Rosie designs mens fashions. Josephine Snider, a concert pianist. is working out a dillicult score, while Elvina Ferraro, stenographer, leans over her shoulder and asks what all the little black dots are for. Kay Winegardner, fashion expert of Paris and Ambridge, is playing a fast game of dcminoes with Charlie Eberhardt, transport pilot, while John Fetter, auto expert, remarks that galloping dominoes are much more fun to play. The train is stopping again, and the first ones to get on this time are Parma and Rachel Trunzo, who l understand, own their own beauty shop. James Pallone is their hair stylist. Here comes Rudy Pyevac bouncing up the aisle taking reservations for the reunion which is to be held at his inn. Ruth Bijenou, his secretary, is right behind him with the records. All aboard again! But here comes Joe Martin, big book salesman, who got his start selling Sewihi's back in 1940. Let's go back to the observation platform and get a little fresh air. See familiar faces. Over there is Martin Flotuers, the army pilot, and up there Curtis, a famous criminal lawyer. These doors are certainly hard to open. Ah, Benny all the is Bill thanks, Bones. That was Bob Hamilton, swing drummer now playing in Goodburn's orchestra. We passed Adelaide Sickeler, cooking expert, questioning the porter as to whether they served real cream in the coffee, There certainly is a strong wind back here on the observation platform, but Helen Gray and Doris Jean Hire don't seem to mind it. Helen is star reporter on the Chicago Morning News, and Doris Jean is society editor on the same sheet. It's too drafty out here for us, so we had better go in and see Gloria Nester, who is private secretary to Gerald Moses, owner of the Stringy Wingy Spaghetti Co. The last coach is almost overcrowded, there is Sara Rose McCullough, who works in Fred Dixon's bank. Up a little farther are Don King and Godfrey Kroepil, who own ha swanky Park Avenue pet shop. Across from them looking out of the window are Charles Ritchey and Bill Start, who together own a poultry farm, Joe Dempsey, owner of a summer camp, is coming over to talk to Jean Baumgarlel and Murel Barley. Jean owns a little candy shop, and Murel is a stenographer in Leslie PouJner's casting office. Up near front of the car Betty Townsend and Helen Turner are going over some recent press clippings. Betty is a dancer. and Helen is a radio songstress, Look at these three successful business womenfPeg Helmer, Evelyn Barley, and Dorothy Moore, owners and teachers in their own business college. Back at the water cooler, Ronald Macqueen, owner of a dude ranch, is showing Ann Roe, interior decorator, how to get the cup out of the dispenser. Waiting their turn at the water also arc Theresa Damaso, food demonstrator, and Jennie Falvo, head telephone operator in Pittsburgh. As we look out of the windows it is easy to see that we are near the old Alma Mater, and everyone else seems to notice it too: everyone is getting his luggage together and beginning to crowd out into the aisles. Bob Win!ez's, in army uniform, is help- ing Ruth Donald, leader of an all-girl radio band, get her suitcase down. Blanche Fueller, receptionist, can't find her hat, because Frances Languasco, garden expert, is sitting on it. Bill Benhoff, professional photographer. is helping his secretary, Sally Merriman, with her coat. After counting heads, we have found that there will be one-hundred per-cent attendance at the reunion of the Class of '40. The train has stopped now, and all the famous people are casting off their robes of success and arc swarming to their favorite haunts with their old friends, once more.

It has been an immense amount of fun, topped off with the social event of the year, the Junior Prom. But it has also been very instructive. New trends in subjects proved of interest from the beginning. Mr. Nevin has started with our class in his Hrst year of teaching United States History at S.H.S., and we think he did a swell job. Many of our students have kept their aver- age high and have attained the honor roll every report period. Standings were high, not only in scholastics but also in activities. The Junior Class was represented in nearly every field of activity in the school. Football, basketball, track, debate, dramatics, and others all saw a lot of Junior competition. And real competition, it was, too! We're proud of our class in looking over its talents and possibilities. The Class of 1941 has prepared itself for taking charge of the school's life next year when Juniors will become Sophisticated Seniors and should be able to uphold the high standard we all wish to be true of our Alma Mater. This re- sponsibility we will not neglect, nor will we be reluctant to take over new hopes and duties as we move toward Commencement in 1941. G.B.

Thirty-four President - BURTON BRIDGE Vice-President - DAVID SEE Secretary-Treasurer GLENN BEITEL Thirty-ive 1941 Soplfiomores HE Sophomores look back upon an im- portant and busy year. As they entered the lirst year of Senior High School they had a new feeling of importance and responsibility for what their record might be. The increase of numbers, due especially to the new mem- bers from Edgeworth, gave a sense of dignity. Too, they put the freshman youthfulness be- hind and found and lilled many places in var- ious activities. The older students made way for them and gave the benefit of their earlier experience. Class work, too, oifered new interest to which all students responded. They joined classes in Public Speaking where, while it appalled everybody to speak from the stage, all gained a new feeling of self-conlidence which they carried into home room programs and into Forensic Contests. English classes expend- ed efforts at making autobiographies into val- uable records. Dissection of frogs and worms seemed dreadful, yet turned exciting. Master- ing Plane Geometry, Foreign Languages, and Bookkeeping increased the sense of power. So it has been a good year, and with it the members go from the home rooms of Mr. Dam- bach, Miss Koehler, Mrs. Williams, and Miss Doty. They look forward to new experiences in another year with increased responsibilities as the juniors of 1940-41.

Thirty-six President - CHARLES BOREM Vice-President - HELEN HURD Secretary R MARILYN PARKER Thirty-seven 1942 Freshmen HOST of new faces was seen in the Freshman report rooms at the beginning of the year, when students from outside town joined the Sewickley members, but in a few days instead of being strangers, everyone had a host of new friends. After a few weeks the following ofiicers were elected: President, Joseph Hire: Vice-President, Constance Smith: and Secretary, Betty Couser. The Freshmen had a number of new sub- jects, Algebra and Latin seeming the hardest. This was probably because they were entirely new to everyone. One of our most interesting projects was that of our Vocational Themes. A great deal of pride was taken in the covers for these themes: the great variety showed how much thought went into making a design to Ht the subject. After a careful study of the display, William McClean's was voted the best with Ted Henry's running a close second. The ninth graders have shown interest in joining and working in school activities this year, having members in the Glee Club, Orches- tra, Oracle , Track Team, Forensic, and Girl's Chorus. Although the Freshmen feel that this has been one of their most enjoyable school years, all are looking forward to being the best Sopho- more class that Sewickley High School has ever had. -B. C.

Thirty-eight President - JOE HITE Vice-President CONSTANCE SMITH Secretary BETTY COUSER Thirty-nine 1943 , The Eighth Grade HE EIGHTH grade of 1940 consists of sixty-three pupils of which Ellen Louise McMaster was elected president, Joe Ritchey vice president, and Anthony Trunzo secretary. The class has been very busy in science, writing out notebooks, star-gazing, studying weather, the four types of clouds, water, and wild flowers which we have to identify, press, and keep in a notebook. In English class all studied very hard about verbs, adverbs, adjectives, nouns, and pronouns. The most important work of the year is the eighth grade annual paper, the Keyhole in which was put effort with the hope that it is just as good as previous ones. Most of the pupils of this class started their school career in 1931. We were in kin- dergarten together where we had many parties. Here we prepared for grade one. In iitst grade we learned to write: in second we got a taste of homework: in fourth grade we started walk- ing the halls to our classes: in seventh grade we had a play which was one of the first grade school plays which admission had to be paid. There we were prepared for a graduation from the grade school where we had been the leaders. In the eighth grade, although we are not con- sidered leaders, we are trying to learn things President - Vice-President Secretary - Forty which will make us strong leaders when our time comes. fA, T.

ELLEN MCMASTER - JOE RITCHEY ANTHONY T RUNZO I The Seventh Grade HE Seventh Grade, numbering sixty-eight pupils, has been looking forward to entering high school in the fall. All of us have been working diligently so that we will be a credit to Sewickley High. We are sure it will be a great thrill entering the larger building and feeling that we are a part of the school. The class has tried, although sometimes it was thought it would never make the grade, to make this a profitable year, There have been good days and bad days, but on the whole we have enjoyed it. We are sorry to leave the Grade School, but we are also glad to enter the High School, Mitchell Baker, William Baker, Floyd Blair, Floyd Brooks, Teddy Brooks, Harry Campney, Tony Cicco, John Ciccozzi, Doug- las Coulter, Ross Dominick, Buddy Donald, Louis Edger, Harry Ferrell, George Gariti, Vincent Gregson, Bobby Haley, William President Vice-President Secretary -W ' - --T Hampton, Richard Harkness, Charles Harriger, Robert Heasley, William Hedge, Allan Hite, William Johnston, Richard Kearcher, Eugen: Lynn, Thomas Maruca.

BUDDY DONALD - JEssiE HURD HARRY CAMPNEY ' 177' W' ' ing 'WA' 'W Forty-one Activities P y h National Honor Society INCE 1930, The National Honor Society has stood for the greatest achievement in our high school life. Membership in this group is an inspiration to fellow students, for in it are the few from the Junior and Senior class who have been chosen on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. The Keystone and Torch form the emblem of the National Honor Society. The Keystone is the necessary part of every arch, and so on this group the arch of high school life is founded. The Torch stands for the flaming zeal of the members to do higher and better things. Under the capable leadership of the advisor, Mr. Stroup, the members do their best to better the school. The outstanding undertaking of the group was the comple- tion of the Sewickley High School Handbook started last year. In this small manual will be all Sewickley's rules and regulations, school songs, the cheers, and the curriculum. At the beginning of the next school year, all the students will receive a copy of it. The Vocational Guidance Clinic was sponsored, and the ticket sales for. The Cat and the Canary fell under this management. Last year's induction ceremony saw four Juniors, Margaret Rose Skeehan, Norman Brown, Robert Fullman, and Max Maust enter the Society. With these four as the nucleus, this year's chapter was started. Those of the Class of 1940 inducted this year are the following: Doris Jean I-lite, Gloria Nesrer, Josephine Snider, Ruth Walker, Williain Beck, Daniel Davis, Michael Macaluso, Gerald Moses, and Seymour Robertson. The members of l94l are Mary Merrill, Dorothy Shankle, Edward Barger, Markham Conway, and Alexander Taylor. The officers of the school year 1939-40 are: Presi- dent, Robert Pullman: Vice-President, Seymour Robertson: Secretary-Treasurer, Edward Barger. A. T., 41 Forty-four Student Council N THE fourteenth year of its existence, the Student Council has tried to make life more enjoyable for the students as an advisory and a sponsoring body. This govern- ing body of the school upholds the ideals and standards and encourages others to do so by its example. The Council was installed in September with a dignified and impressive ceremony in which each member lit his symbolic candle from the flame held by the Spirit of Sewickley High School. In the oath administered by Mr. Stroup, they promised service and loyalty to the school. Then came representatives from each Home Room pledging help and loyalty to the Council. This year for the first time, the Junior and Senior High Council met together to form one large organization. The total membership is thirty-six students, eight from each Senior High School class and six from each class in Junior High. In their activities they are advised by Miss Hubbell, Miss Simpson, and Mr. Williams. They sponsored the annual Alumni Dance at Christmas and the Clean-Up Campaign in the spring. Under the direction of Mr. Winne, the students encouraged the residents of Sewickley to Clean-Up, Paint-Up, and Plant-Up. The gay Carnival also sponsored by the Council, was the product of the ingenuity of its members. The locker inspections held during the year encourages neatness in the school. The Tardy Contest sponsored during the fourth and fifth report periods helped diminish tardy marks. All assemblies nnd the two Presidents presiding with the Chairman of the Program Committee. The Girls' Council chose for its officers: President, Margaret Rose Skeehang Vice- President, Helen Hurd: Secretary, Dorothy Shankle. The Boys' Council elected: President, Michael Macalusog Vice-President, Porter Murdock: Secretary, Fred Dixon. M. R. S.. 40 Forty-live is-u-annul Gwl Reserves S A Girl Reserve, I Will try to face life squarely: to find and give the best. This is the motto accepted in the heart of every Girl Reserve at the Recognition Service, renewed with every year of membership. The Welcome Party of early fall brings together the old members and new and makes a bond of friendly meetings for club and school. After the Welcome Party the program for the year is planned. We realize that our plans have materialized consid- ering the success of our first enterprisefthe Bake Sale, then the gala, festive Mistletoe Ball, and, to top these, the Copper Carnival. The success morever is both social and financial. During the past year the Girl Reserves have had various programs. Our experience was widened as the Reverend Mr. Campbell told of his travels in England and Scotland. Mrs. Wahl, librarian, discussed numerous books of our liking. We also heard from a beautician, Miss De Simone, who gave us several helpful hints about the art of make- up. Mr. McCormick showed us that delightful movie, Alice Adams, in connection with which Miss Doty led the discussion. Interesting evenings were spent listening to convention delegates, Kay Winegardner and Ruth Klicker to Summer Conference and Doris Jean Hite and Marion Harrison to Wheeling, as they told of thoughtful and gay times with other Girl Reserves. The discussion program arranged by Jean Neely ranged from Nazi Tourists to Boy Dates Girl. All meetings were marked by high attendance records. The Mother and Daughter Banquet and Hnally the Installation of new oHicers brings the Girl Reserves' year to a close as the Seniors are bid a fond farewell. Our year, as we glance back, spent in the pleasant rooms of the Annex has been most success- ful under the council of Mrs. Williams and Miss Kerr, our advisers. The oflicers of this year are: President, Ruth Walker: Vice-President, Doris Jean Hite: Secretary, Marion Harrison: Treasurer, Ruth Klicker: Program Chairman, Jean Neely: Council Representative, Marjorie Willison: Squaw Squabble Editor, June Steigerwald. Forty-six Hifi l O create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character and to stand together for the four square develop- ments of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean livingff To the Senior members comes a termination of the happy association belonging to the Hi-Y. They will look back to the satisfying ideals and the challenge to character building as well as to the social events enjoyed. To make recollection more vivid we dedicate this page. The three officers, Dan Davis, President: Michael Macaluso, Vice-President: and Seymour Robertson, Secretary, following time honored customs, opened the year with an evening jamboree at Edgeworth Park. There former members and candidates became acquainted. A personal interview between each candidate and the Membership Committee was held prior to the Induction, to give each prospective member a clear idea of the aims of the Club. The Induction Ceremony, held early in October, was marked by its impressive ritual. The year has many points for a proud record. In December Alex Taylor, Mark- ham Conway, and Dan Davis brought new ideas from the annual Conference at Butler. The Sewickley club became a charter member of the North Council of Hi-Y Clubs, established to facilitate cooperation and interchange of idea. Various movements of other years have been maintained. An interest attracting Clean Speech Campaign was sponsored and a Hi-Y Charity Fund was promoted, the proceeds being donated to the Union Aid. Additional social events included a swimming party and a late-in-the-season party for the Girl Reserves. Two joint meetings were held with Coraopolis. The Reverend Mr. Dufford made the Sewickley meeting distinctive. Coraopolis entertained with eats and basketball. The Easter Dance was outstanding with its beautiful decorations using a large I-li-Y emblem as a center. A novel charge of a Penny a Pound netted a neat sum of money. Thanks for the guidance in a year's good work are hereby expressed to Mr. Borger, the sponsor, Whose absence was sorely felt, to Messrs. Campbell, Nevin, and Klein, the discussion leaders, and to Mr. Neely, accompanist for the singing. D. E. D., '40 Forty-seven Qrchestm CHOOL assemblies would miss the music of the orchestra. Small it may be and lacking experience, yet Miss Stewart manages to find the possibilities, and our entrance to assembly and our exit and our singing all are responsive to the accompani- ment of this active group. Our play audience was entertained in the times of waiting. The Christmas and Music Programs gave other opportunities to the group. Members joined in the Music Festival presented in the Neville High School. The group played a number with Coraopolis orchestra as a feature of the exchange program in Music Week. In the Spring Concert the orchestra again contributed to the program. Favor- ite numbers worked on this year include the March from Aida, Intermezzo, and The Iron Master. So it would seem that a good and busy year's record is made. Three pianists are always on hand-Josephine Snider, Harriett Emrich and John Robertson, all very accomplished players with ability in solo work. Violin: First-Robert Fullman, Markham Conway, Robert Eaton. Second- Henry Blanchard, Lois Williamson, Walter McPherson. Clarinet: Dan Davis, Fred Menz, Francis Kramer, Robert Hinds. Trumpet: Evelyn Scott, Seymour Robertson, Robert Zahner. Bass Viol: Glenn Mechlin. 'Celloz Elizabeth Dawson. Saxophone: Richard Ruff. Trombone: Donald Williamson. Drummer: Richard Boyd. Forty-eight Glee Club TTENTION! All eyes are fixed on our able leader, Miss Stewart - the signal is given, and the sweet melodious sound that can be heard throughout the school is the Glee Club, pouring heart and soul out in song. This group, carefully selected for tone, balance, and harmony, really love to sing. Every Monday and Friday the songsters forget their cares and worries while warbling their tunes. Sometimes the girls sing alone, sometimes the boys, and then come together to show a more effective tunefulness. The Christmas processional was very impressive with the Glee Club singing the ever beautiful carols. Not to be forgotten are the musical programs in which the school enjoyed hearing the trio, quartet, octet, and the girls' chorus. Many hours after school brought finish to these special singers, who have won a reputation for the Glee Club in the State Music Program and in the exchange programs.

Forty-nine V The Oracle N that busiest day of the week, Monday, when all kinds of meetings are scheduled, reporters for the Oracle meet their Editor-in-chief and plan for covering the news of the week. The past week's activities are discussed, the coming events are scanned, assignments are given out, and all go their way. Reports are due before 8:30 on Wednesday that the Editor may do her job in the Activity Period. Then with a hope that all news items of special importance as well as notes of interest, have been included and nothing overlooked, the group of workers wait for the coming out of The Herald on Thursday. N As a result of a school wide election held in September, Gloria Nester was selected as Editor-in-Chief with Doris Jean Hite as assistant editor. The staff includes volunteers who stand the test of competition and of time. Several sport writers came out for that particular duty, but finally Garth Blanchard won the place of Sports Editor, keeping steadily at work, week in and week out, on the busiest and most varied job of all school reporters. Seniors on duty included Analana Campbell, Dan Davis, and Seymour Robertson: Juniors: Jean Atwell, Irene Halvorsen, Vera Marucal Mary Merrill, Margaret Meyer, and Roseanne Meyer: Sophomores: None: Freshman: Betty Couser. From time to time others rendered services, notably William Beck, Harry Smith, Gerald Moses, and Edward Barger. The Oracle is published in the Sewickley Herald where Mr. Nevin kindly linds space for this record of Sewickley High School life. He also makes possible the publication of longer articles written by Oracle journalists, thus encouraging an interest in writing. The outstanding feature of this sort written this year is William Beck's interview of Raymond Paige of Musical Americana. Fifty State Forensic and Music League ITH growing interest and a fair amount of success Sewihi was represented in this interscholastic field. In both music and speech, participation was sincere and competent if not always brilliant. Speech events were held at Etna where vibrant voiced Mery Merrill with her declamation, We Must Keep Out, pleaded the cause of peace: Ruth Kinzer, with warm responsiveness to poetry, read Stephen Vincent Benet's The Winged Man and Reese's Life Has Loveliness to Sell. In Shakespeare reading, Howard Malone, reading from As You Like It, competed successfully in that contest and the subsequent County, Regional, and State ContestAa State Champion for Sewickley. In Debate a band of indefatigable workers inexperienced but determined, worked through a hard season. The defeats were not at all inglorious when one considers points rather than verdicts and the invitation from Avonworth, the State Champions, for an extra debate for practice as their most formidable opposition. All count the experience most valuable. The Affirmative Team: Seymour Robertson, Dan Davis, with Jean Atwell, alternateg Negative: Roseanne Meyer, Margaret Meyer, with Mary Merrill, alternate. Three groups of singers entered the contest at Brentwood. Their voices responded well to the hours of Glee Club and after school practice, and they are to be congratu- lated for their excellent work and cooperation. The two quartet groups brought home awards of third place. The mixed quartet, Mary Hurd, Sally Cook, Kenneth Malone and Walter Gray, sang The Holly and the Ivy by Boughter, and Echo by MacFarlane, The double mixed quartet, Irene Halvorsen, Margaret Snider, Kathryn Winegardner, Helen Hurd, Dick Greenhouse, Fred Menz, James McNamee, and Glenn Mechlin, sang Sing We and Chant It by Morley and The Crusaders Hymn by Wick. The girls' trio, Virginia Grubbs, Lois Jordan, and Grace Jordan, sang Time is on the Wing by Moffat and Lullaby by Klein, Fifty-one The Cat and the Canary EIRD noises, ghostly noises, mysterious happenings marked the set-up for The Cat and the Canary, presented on March I4 and 15 to unusually large crowds. The scene is a crumbling old mansion in a misty bayou, on a dark and threatening night when the relatives come to hear the will of eccentric Cyrus West. Ten years after his death, the plague of his fortune lives to haunt his six possible heirs. The pompous, dignified lawyer, Mr. Crosby, murdered in the course of the evening, por- trayed by Albert Von Hofen, and the sphinxlike, suspicious, and psychic housekeeper, Miss Lou, played by Bessie Henwood, receive the others. The fortune-hungry heirs are Harry Blythe, a likeable fellow as Alex Taylor reveals: nervous animated Susan Sillsby, Marion Harrison: anxious, fluttery Cicily Young, Geraldine Campbell: Paul Jones, the country lad, always looking on both sides of any point, Max Maust: Charlie Wilder, Glenn Beitel, the devoted admirer of the charming Annabel West, Ruth Walker. Vlhen the will is read, Annabel West is sole heir to all the wealth. Death gongs, most uncanny events, sliding panels, strange disappearances, ideas most definitely stated that Annabel has lost her mind and is thereby likely to lose the fortune, all create a tense spirit of suspense. In the nick of time Paul discovers that the whole thing is an inside job: the villain is not an escaped lunatic but jealous Charlie: the strong, determined guard from the asylum, James Wharrey, is a conspirator. When the calm doctor, Ronald Macqueen, has attended Annabel, she is ready to meet the proposal of Harry, and all is well. The prologue was presented on the first night by Jean Severance: on the second by Nlary Boal. Evelyn Scott was the bookholder. Fifty-two F- Stage Guild S was true in past years, the ambitious Stage Guild is the busiest organization in the school, charged with the task of preparing the stage for plays, classes, and other engagements. Their best work this year was the staging for the mystery thriller, The Cat and the Canary. Many obstacles loomed in the stage crew's path, such as the various secret panels and doors, lighting and sound effects, and the quick changing of scenes. These difiiculties were mastered, and, as a reward for their fine work, the play was a spectacular success and did more for the activities fund than any other play for several years. For the Student Council's Carnival the crew constructed the stage setting for the melodrama, Foiled, By Heck, and invented and constructed several games used in the side shows. Oscar Onion, a robot created by the Guild, presided over many of the pep meetings during football season, leading cheers, giving his opinions of the cheering, and even, on one occasion, dancing with one of the cheerleaders. Oscar consisted of a football uniform, stuffed with paper and held erect and moved by means of ropes. His voice was a loudspeaker from the public address system, hid within his uniform. To help f'Oscar raise cheers from the student body, a miniature football field substi- tured. As the volume of the cheers increased, a movable football player marched down the field. If the cheers warranted, a touchdown resulted, and a large 6 showed on the scoreboard. The object was to get as many touchdowns as possible, and the student body really responded. The hard working stage crew included: Seniors-Norman Brown, Manager, Robert Pullman, Jerry Moses: Juniors-Alex Taylor, Glenn Beitel, William Wolfe, Joe McMaster, Edwin Smith, Edward Barger, SophomoresfMalcolm Smith: Freshmene- Stephen Davis, Glenn Mechlin. Fifty-three Chess Team T THE beginning of the present year, there was but one of last year's team left, so Jack Krieger became this year's captain and No. l man. He and Mr, Hawes sent out an S. O. S., and the answer was in the assembling of one of the youngest teams in the school's history. Finally things shaped up with a main team including Jack Krieger, Stanley Lourimore, John Gormly, Herman Sutton, and Fred Way with Gerald Moses and Don Atwell as alternates ready to save the day when called upon. Great need for practice brought the crowd together almost every night after school to learn the different ways in which to outmaneuver and checkmate an opponent. Finally a match was played at the Y.M.C.A. with a strong Alumni group, Leonard Bartlotti, Sam Meta, and Jack Luzadre. The Alumni won 4 to 3. This result was very satisfactory to the inexperienced group. After more practice a match with a team from the Coraopolis Y.M.C.A. ended in a 3 to 0 victory for Sewickley. Then came a match with Ambridge High School, which, after a bitter struggle, ended in a ZH tie. Here an unusual factor was the influence of two charming girls on the visiting teamg this fact, doubtless, distracted the home team. Practice between time and a renewal of spirit before the return match brought victory to Sewickley 3 to 2. At the end of the year the team started a ladder tournament with ten boys entered. These included members of the team plus Tom Walker, Ross Rogers, Jack Doerr, John Robertson, and Ted Henry. The plan is to challenge the two boys placed above and if winning to take over the higher position. At present writing Stanley Lourimore is still in first place. S. M. L., '44 Fifty-four A1 , may 'W t Safety Patrol AST year, a project was started and conducted with a great deal of satisfaction by a group of boys marked by their white belts and conspicuous badges, and, on rainy days, by their white raincoats. Their job is a supplementary aid to the Police Department: to help patrol the streets and street corners at the busy time when children are moving to and from school and are likely, in their excitement, to run risks. This year found from twenty-ive to thirty boys volunteering to keep the organi- zation in action. Before and after school, at morning, noon, and evening hours, these fellows are on duty guarding against accidents and maintaining trafiic regulations at the crowded intersections. This primary purpose was extended to include maintaining spectator lines at athletic events, as the football games and track meets. Here they keep back the enthusiastic fans who get in the way of the competitors. They were called upon to give service at the Sewickley I-Iallowe'en celebration when they cleared the way for the paraders and within the space before the grandstand so that those taking part in the contests might have a fair chance. The group, this year as last, was under the direct supervision of Mr, Winne, and subject to the activities regulations of the school. It was systematically organized under Bruce Myers as Captain, and four lieutenants, each of whom had authority over a squad. One of these detachments is in action at the four times of the day when the duty calls for direction. Fifty-five The Assemblies SSEMBLY time Q the time when all the classes become one - is a time we all look back to as one of the most significant and memorable times of our school years. Interesting speakers, entertaining movies, and programs of fun are all included in the array of memories. In charge of the plans this year was Kathryn Winegardner with a committee of representatives of each class. Many fine speakers were presented. A famous autograph collector, Mr. Rowlands. spoke of his wonderful collection. He interested and amused as he told of his methods of acquiring the autographs. Mr. Rex McCullough, vocational counselor at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, spoke to the Seniors of Commercial Art. Dr. Kirpatrick of the Union Pacific Railroad told of the immensity, usefulness, and beauty of the Boulder Dam. Did you know that it is larger than would be Muscle Shoals, the Russian Dnieper dam, the Blagnell, and all the reclamation dams in the United States were they combined? An exhibition of the gyroscope was Mr. Travis Jones' purpose of visiting our school, and later Mr. Kwok Fing Fung spoke on living conditions in China. He also gave some idea of the Sino-Japanese War and what he thought would end it. The Reverend Dr. I-Iudnut spoke on What's Wrong with the World. As many others, he is a lover of peace, and believes we should have a Peace Department as well as a War Department. Included in the programs of fun were the popular song and amateur programs. Declamation, poetry reading, and music programs illustrated what is going on in the slate sponsored contests. Several movies were the object of interest, many of which were in technicolor. Scenes of vacation resorts, and recreation centers of Mexico were attractively presented. The Westinghouse Company showed movies of an average family visiting the World's Fair. A few magic words by Weber, and his audience sat in wonderment as he performed many clever tricks and kept everyone guessing. The two most impressive ceremonies of the year, presented with as much dignity and seriousness as formerly, were Student Council Installation and National Honor Society Induction with the music, candlelight, and speeches that the occasions warrant. To help us all get into the Christmas spirit was the annual Christmas program. It consisted of the Glee Club singing several of the beloved carols. There were songs also by different groups from the Glee Club. Concluding the program a play was presented entitled The Nine Who Were Mothers. Towards the end of the year the exchange programs are enjoyed. The first of the exchange programs was Avalon's, presenting several radio skits. The next was that of Leetsdale, consisting of readings, violin solos, soloist, and a play. Coraopolis visited during the week dedicated to music, and brought an excellent orchestra and a play cast. A one act play was given by Bellevue, and an instrumental trio performed. Yet to come are the final assemblies with the distribution of awards. THE PIGSKIN PROM Keeping in spirit with the football season, a lively crowd turned out for this informal affair. The first social of the year was a celebration of the numerous football victories of the season. Decorations were in true football style with a goal post of red and blue, strung with Sewickley football pennants, at one end of the gym, while at the other, Oscar Onion, the Stage Guild's dummy of a pigskin booter, reigned supreme from his high position. It was in these surroundings, with music furnished by recordings, that couples glided and shagged to recent popular tunes played by their favorite orchestras. THE COUNCIL TEA A social event, now established as an annual affair, is the tea, given near Com- mencement time, for Mothers of the Seniors and the Senior girls. The date this year was May 24, when a program of readings, music, and dancing was the entertainment before the pleasant social hour when mothers, girls, and teachers met as guests of the Girls' Council. THE PROM On a certain night in May, the gym could mean nothing but the Junior-Senior Prom. It was converted into an attractive ballroom with novel decorations in blue and silver, the Senior colors. The couples danced to the gay music of Frank Pallio's Orchestra. Vera Buzard and Markham Conway were co-chairmen for a successful event. Iiifty-six The Keyhole N A very attractive mimeographed magazine of thirty-six pages with a beautifully lettered title, The Keyhole on its blue cover, the Eighth Grade presents its record of the year. The design on this year's edition shows, through the Keyhole, a school- room scene of a girl at her desk, a map on the wall. Within are found articles of the many Helds of school interest. These were written by members of the English classes, directed by Miss Fickinger, and worked into shape by a large staff. The special departments are the Editorials, the Chatterbox, Poetry, Short Story, Book Reports, Activities, Sports, and Jokes. There is a Prophecy for class members. A very special study of the unusual showing of the planets this winter is reported under the title, The Parade of the Planets. Each section has its attractive heading, using an appropriate illustration, and other drawings are scattered through its pages. All in all, it is a memento of the year to be deeply prized by the class now entering the last year of the Junior High School. The Staff Page shows, within a keyhole design, the names of those to whom were given particular responsibility.

Mr. Martin Grogan, the plant operator, acted as a guide for the pupils, first showing them the filters and explaining how they are operated. Perhaps the most interesting part of the trip was seeing one of the Hlters being washed out and then relilled with pure water. After this the pupils were taken to the laboratory where the water is tested for purity once a day, Also shown was the way in which diphtheria germs and other germs are discovered. This ended a most interesting trip and everyone left with a much better understanding of Sewickley's water system. Fifty-seven The Carnival HE most gala of all the year's social events was the Carnival. The doors were opened and the halls soon were crowded with happy throngs ready to spend a thoroughly enjoyable evening. School rooms were converted into a variety of concessions, of which the fortune telling and Faculty Baby Show proved to be the main attractions. And who could pass by that table filled with all those delicious, appetizing morsels? Cakes, cookies, pies, and candies - everything that appeals to the sweet tooth were included in this array of baked goods. The throngs crowded along the hall to where the games were being played. Some of these were cleverly constructed and operated by skillful Stage Guild members. The refreshment stand was another popular spot, Here hot dogs, pc-p, ice cream, and popsicles were for sale. In the gym, couples danced to the best of dance music furnished by the latest recordings. Bowling in the cage of the gym was a busy and exciting enterprise. But step right up, because it's time for the big show to begin. Now the crowd pushes its way toward the auditorium. The curtain rises, Comedy, laughter and toe-tapping tunes were the theme of this entertainment. Comedy in the form of a melodrama, songs as sung by some fellow students, and laughter throughout the presentation were high marks. All too soon the hands of the clock go around, and the time for departure is near. The crowd leaves reluctantly, thanking Margaret Rose Skeehan and Michael Macaluso, co-chairmen of the affair, for a grand and glorious time. The Student Association OME few years ago a plan was presented by which a fund of money was assured for the carrying on of the many activities of the school, at least when supplemented by various other means. By the purchase of a Student Association ticket it is possible to go to more school events for a smaller amount of money than the customary price of admissions. This creates the additional value of helping each student to feel him- self a share holder in every part of school life. Attendance at school events is increased, and school spirit grows. The membership this year was three hundred and twenty-six. The Class of '40 is a very typical Senior Class. The girls possess all the dignity of goddesses, as they parade around in saddle shoes and short skirts. The boys are real gentlemen, always thoughtful of others. The minds of the Seniors turn toward deeper thoughts, inspired by the Hysteria and the Squabble. As the attention of the world is drawn to Europe, they eagerly listen to The Major expound on Adolph and Uncle Joe. In music their taste is for Bach and Beethoven, especially as interpreted by Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Commencement is approaching, and the gift of the class is discussed. They can't decide whether it should be an elevator, a pencil sharpener for 203, or a new water bucket. On the whole, they will be well prepared to face the world and meet its problems. Fifty-eight S.

Sports S y h -T-T. l Football HEN Chief Sewihi called upon warriors for the gridiron battles this fall, many familiar faces were gone, but there were others to take their places. Changes in personnel were not the only differences to affect the squad. During the year, Sewickley had changed from a Class B to a Class A school. Thus to contend for a crown, the Indians had to meet their share of Class A schools. This meant stiffer competition. Despite this handicap and the loss of last yeat's stars, a successful season was enjoyed. With only five men from last year's Varsity to serve as a nucleus, Coaches Stroup, Dambach, and Nevin molded a team which went through one of Sewickley's toughest schedules with only three defeats and a tie to mar its enviable record. Two of these defeats were early. The Sewihi warriors had the honor of helping Bridgeport in the dedication of a new stadium just preceding the first night game ever played by the Indians. In this game an inexperienced team gave a good account of itself, although bowing 14 to O. A hard fighting Sewicklcy team raised the hopes of its followers for a victory over Stowe. However, injuries to James and Cain in the closing moments of the first half dashed these hopes to the ground, and the Red and Blue sustained the season's worst defeat, 39 to 0. The first game on the home field found Sewickley host to Burgettstown. Showing a different brand of football, the Indians filled the air with passes and repulsed the visitors 13 to O. This victory began a five game winning streak. Trailing at the end of the Hrst half of the Bellevue game, the team received an inspiring pep talk and, shortly after taking the field again, pushed across a score. Featuring this drive were an on-side kick, enabling the Red and Blue to recover their own kick-off, and a long pass, coming to Lee, good for a touchdown. The second and third scores came on plunges by Ford. The final score-Sewickley 20, Bellevue 12. In the first time meet- ing with Sharpsburg, on the gridiron, the Indians were anxious to get the jump on their new opponent and succeeded by the margin of three touchdowns and one extra point. Taking the offensive from the first, the Sewihi warriors marched the length of the field to register the first score. This touchdown was the first to be made by Cain, who was an important cog in the football machine all season and one of the best backs Sixty-four Sewickley has had. Sharpsburg, in a desperate attempt to overcome the 19 point lead, took to the air, but these passes were in vain, and the game ended with Sewickley on the long end of a 19 to 0 score. Fans who traveled to Avalon to follow the fortunes of the team were given a scare almost from the opening moments when the home team collected three consecutive first downs. However, a fumble recovered by Sewickley eliminated the possibility of a score at this point. Cain and Ford alternated in taking the ball into the scoring position whence Tucci crossed the last white stripe for the only score of the game. In the closing moments Avalon intercepted a pass and returned the ball deep into Sewickley territory. A penalty moved the ball to the 5 yard line, but here the Indians stiffened and held until the final whistle. Leetsdale was heading toward an undefeated season and the Class B crown until they ran afoul of the Red and Blue. The I4 to 7 defeat sustained, removed all championship hopes of the down- river team. Both teams threatened in the first quarter, but fumbles prevented any scoring. Early in the second quarter, Cain intercepted a pass, and two plays later found Ford scoring on an aerial from Cain. Tucci recovered a fumble on the kickoff, and then Sewickley used a unique play. Lee, an end, received the pass from center, faked an end run and passed to Bridge for the second score. After having scored once, Leets- dale valiantly strove to complete passes, but time was against them: Sewickley won 14 to 7. At last Sewickley had hit its stride and was showing that experience does count on a gridiron. In the battle with Derry Township, however, the Red and Blue came out second best, and another winning streak was snapped. A large factor was the running of two of Derry's star backs, Jim Johnston and Clayton. These boys alternated in carrying the ball from their own I5 yard line and were stopped only when a score had been made. Immediately the Sewihi warriors began an advance that also netted a touchdown. The feature play was a long pass, Lee to Bridge, which sent up the score. This play scored the week before against Leetsdale. Derry came bouncing back and tallied again. The game ended before Sewickley could set attack in motion. The final score was Derry 12, Sewickley 6. Shaking off the effects of the defeat by Derry, the team showed its mettle in the hard battle with Avonworth. Throughout the first half, the game see-sawed back and forth with each team making a determined drive toward a score and being met by stubborn resistance. Avonworth made the first bid in a spectacular manner. Start- ing deep in their own territory, they used a play which completely fooled everyone. A double reverse, a lateral, and then a forward pass, all in one play, put the ball on the Sewickley second yard line. Here the Red and Blue recovered a fumble, and danger was averted. Featuring Sewickley's drive goalward was Ford's 45 yard run, but again defense triumphed, and the score was prevented. Late in the final period the Indians marched 76 yards in a sustained drive for the only score. A series that has been one of the most strenuously played and most evenly divided is the yearly feud between Sewickley and Cory. In 14 years each team has won five games and the remaining four were ties. This year added the fifth tie to the records. The first half proved a punting duel with Sewickley more than holding its own as Cain got off many long kicks. The first score came on an 80 yard run by a Cory back. Sewickley came back to dominate the entire second half and push over the tying touchdown early in the third quarter. Always the Indians kept pushing onward, and several times threatened to break the deadlock. Fumbles, however, proved a big factor in helping Cory hold off the enemy, and the game ended with both teams boast- ing 6 points. Left End-ROBERT LEE--Bobby, a fast, shifty end, performed nobly throughout the entire season. As an ace pass receiver he caught many aerials. May be transferred to the backfield next season. Left Tackle!-HOUSTON FORD-Burly, one of the largest men on the squad, could get around with surprising agility. He opened up great holes through which back- field men often galloped. - Sixty-five Football Left Guard--BURTON BRIDGE-Bud filled the hole left by Wachter. Many times he came through with needed tackles and took passes from Lee which were good for long gains. Center-MAX MAUSTfAfter alternating at center last year, Max was first string man. His accurate passing was a big help at all times. With steady head. he blocked many plays by his quick diagnoses. Right Guard-JOHN MASTERANIfJohn, husky lineman, very valuable to the team. With Getz, he often rose to great heights and beat back serious oncoming drives. Right Tackle--ALLAN GETZfWiretop, out with injuries last season but this fall showed real football. He opened great holes in the opposite line but excelled in defense. Right End-RAYMOND GODSELL-Ray put aside thoughts of the personal glory received by backfield men, when needed for the terminal post. Showed his ability and performed steadfastly. Quarterback-ROCCO TUCCI-Rocco proved a Held general in his Hrst game and showed he was able to handle his men in a fashion worthy of a more experienced man. Left Halfback+JACK CAIN-After acting as an outstanding lineman for the past several years, Jack was transferred to the backfield where his tackling, kicking, and hard running proved a valuable asset. Right Halfback--WILLIAM REISER-Although Bill was small, he did not let his size govern his playing. Shifty and very speedy back. showed brilliant open-field running. Fullback-FRANKLIN FORD-Hunk, noted for his ability to crack the line, throw passes and back up the first line of defense. On the offense he seldom was stopped without gaining. SUBSTITUTES ROBERT VON HOPENE-Bob was Mr. Stroup's all around man and filled in ably wherever needed. FRANK WHALEY+A hard runner and a good open-field man. FRED HOLZERfFritz didn't see much action but was ready, willing, and able to go at any time. FRED DIXONgFred was kept on the sidelines only through the excellent play of the first-string men. JAMES HENDRICKS+Jimn1y was always ready for the call and appeared at both ends of the line. RICHARD RUFF-Dick promises to be one of Sewickley's best linesmen. A real tighter. CLARENCE COLVIN-Saw lots of action and impressed those who watched him play. HARRY LUPINACCI-Lost to next year's squad is this big boy who turns his fortunes from Sewihi. WILLIAM MILLER-Bill is another man who was kept out of action by stellar play. Sixty-six aslqetball LTHOUGH the make-up of this year's squad promised big things from the Sewickley basketball team, illness and hard luck worked against them and pre- vented the expected good record. Showing a fighting spirit that was not downed by adverse decisions, the team put up many good battles and showed that they were very much in every game. Built around Hendricks, Ford, and Conway, the Red and Blue added Abercrombie, Lottes, and Godsell to the lineup and showed a flashy team. With such stars as these on a team, only the turning away of Dame Fortune could prevent enjoying a successful season. Perhaps this is what happened this year when, for some reason, the team failed to click. After dropping the first three games, Sewickley scored 60 points, the most made in one game this year, and swamped Washington Vocational, arousing the hopes of the followers for a successful season. However, the rest of the schedule showed wins scattered among setbacks when illness overtook the team and caused two regulars to miss many important games. Despite this delinite handicap, five of Sewickley's defeats were by margins of four points or less. Abercrombie, a flashy forward and high scorer of the Red and Blue, was given a place on Bellevue's all-opposition team. Ford, whose specialty was shooting from the corners of the floor, was one of the many scrappy players. The tallest man was Con- way who has the distinction of making eleven consecutive fouls in three games. Lottes, the peppiest member, introduced the will to win but was forced out by illness. Although Hendricks was the low scorer of the team, his continued passing constantly fooled the opposition-and often his running mates. That Macaluso was tops among the subs can be seen from the fact that he once held Avonworth's ace to eleven points. Lettermen: Abercrombie, Lottes, Hendricks, Macaluso, Ford, Godsell, Conway, See, McMaster. Managers: Bridge, Blanchard. Sixty-seven Cheer Leaders IM! Vigorl Vitality! Those are the chief characteristics of this year's cheer- leaders, headed by Rudy Pyevac. His faithful and hard working crew-Vera Buzardg, Margaret Brady, Vincent Wholey, Robert Kleindienst, and Ralph Gallucci, with full steam ahead, made the walls echo with a whole-hearted response from the student body at the various pep meetings. Remember their version of Princess Victory and the Seven Dwarfs at the Pep Rally before the Cory game? Remember Oscar, who helped put their idea of pep and spirit across to the student body? During their regime they credited the school with several new cheers. Wor'king with the Stage Guild and this year's startling pep-0-meter, the squad drew record sound from the school. Remember the new stunts, the card system of urging and appreciation, the special efforts to make that ball carrier move to a touchdown record? All in all, Rudy and his gang put many a pep session on a new high. Working hand in hand with the cheerleaders were Ruth Walker and Kay Wine- gardner, the school's first song leading team. Orchids go to Kay for her song, Kick Off the Pigskin, used at the Pep Rally, and to Ruth who worked out the motions. Blonde and brunette beads worked close together in an effort to bring out the best singing of the students with original and novel ideas. And well did the crowd respond in the short minutes given before excitement began on the field. We can readily say that '39 and '40 were good years for loyal students to raise the spirit necessary to back the team. So we would say-Here's to better singing and louder cheering in years to come. May Sewickley's teams always have loyal backing. K. B. W., '40 Sixty-eight F... J l , e l Gym Team EGINNING where previous Sewihi gym teams left off, this year's squad continued to win honors in all fields. Despite the loss of half of last year's team, Ford, Mendicino, and Tucci found themselves in a new group which quickly shaped into admirable form. The W. P. I. A. L. meet held annually in Pittsburgh was again, for the sixth con- secutive time, won by the Men of Might from Sewickley High School. Taking places were: Indian Clubs: First, Ford: Second, Mendicino: Fourth, Barilaro, Parallel Bars: Fifth, Abercrombie. Rings: First, Kingg Third, Pyevac: Fifth, Abercrombie. Rope Climb: Second, King: Third, Pyevac, Fifth, Abercrombie. Side Horse: Third, Tucci. Next the victorious team traveled to Slippery Rock for the Western Regional Meet where King took fourth on the Rings, Pyevac fifth in the Rope Climb, Mendicino second and Barilaro fourth in Indian Club swinging. Third place entitles a gymnast to compete in the finals at Penn State. Here, in the stiffest competition offered, Mendi- cino took third place in his event. Sewickley should remain at the top of the local gymnastic world for several more years, as Abercrombie, Mendicino, King, Masterani, and Barilaro are underclassmen. With the experience of this year they should attain even higher records, as is character- istic of all Sewihi gym teams. This year's record added another Western Regional plaque to the long row now possessed. lt was presented to the school on the Award Day by Henry Ford and accepted by Mr, Stroup. Sixty-nine Go I I HE golf team this year, led by veteran Hank Ford, has done itself proud by win- ning its section again. Losing only two matches and winning eight, they led Avonworth, their closest rival. West View got hot one day and sneaked away with a 8M -6M win. Then on the last match of the season, after the section had been cinched, the boys dropped another to Avonworth. No battles have been pushovers, but with good support from numbers four and live men, they were fairly won. Hank and Dave See have been the standbys of the team, usually getting two or three points, while Baumgartel came through most of the time with more than his share. Reservists Tony Barilaro and Seymour Robertson were not needed during the season. On May 17, Sewickley enters two men in the W. P. I. A. L. tournament, and the sectional playoffs are scheduled for May 20, 21, 22. Individual scoring for the whole year was as follows: Fordi25M points: See- 2l points: Baumgartel-19M points: Tiernan-llw points: Start-17 points.

R., '40 Seventy Tennis HE 1940 edition of the Sewihi tennis team was seriously handicapped both from the standpoint of men and facilities. Four of last year's men were lost when two graduated and John Sincell and Don Mattern enrolled in prep schools, Sincell had played in the number one position for the past two seasons, while Mattern had been a Hrst year man. The condition of the courts prevented the squad from getting much practice, and most of their pre-season work was performed on the courts at North Park. When the season opened against Avonworth, the team took shape with Markham Conway playing in the first position, Michael Macaluso number two, Fred Menz num- ber three, while Dick Greenhouse and Dan Davis played doubles, as did Conway and Macaluso. The team was not able to show its best form and bowed 4 to l. A non- league match with Beaver Falls followed in which both teams fought hard, but Sewick- ley received the victory by a 3 to Z score. Showing the form which last year's team exhibited in all matches, the team trounced Neville 5 to 0, as they swept all matches. Just as the Sewihi racqueters were beginning to hit their stride, inclement weather forced the postponement of three consecutive matches. The quality of the team may be seen from the comeback made against Neville, following the set-back at the hands of Avonworth, and the hard battle at Beaver Falls. Next year's team should assemble a record similar to the championship team of 1939 as Conway, Menz, and Greenhouse remain as leaders of experience. Seventy-one . . .-, ' , 5 ,,. I 'f !

The record for this season shows that the Class of 1940, for the second year, is vic-tor, winning six out of six games. Ruth Klicker and Marjorie Willison were high scorers, each having made 28 baskets. The Juniors came next, winning four games: then the Sophomores with two. The Freshmen will profit by their experience. Closest competition was between the Seniors and Juniors with their second game resulting in a score of 28-27.

Seventy-two Track cmd Field HE 1940 track season found Sewickley with a new coach as Mr. Nevin took over this position so capably filled by Mr. Danner during his stay here. lt was Mr. Danner who developed the Sewihi track team, and to him goes the honor of having turned out several champions and directing the interest of students in developing the opportunity to show athletic prowess in this form of sports. Although spring practice was late in getting started, due to the prolonged winter, the boys have worked hard and appear to be headed for a banner season. At this writing they have participated in two meets - the Allegheny County Meet at South Park and the W. P, I. A. L. Meet at Pitt Stadium. One of the more important pre- liminary meets is staged annually at Mansfield, Ohio, where teams from many states compete. Because a new ruling in Pennsylvania prevented any entries from this state, the opportunity for Sewickley track men to continue winning places in these races was taken away. However, the team did compete in the Salem Relays where Bill Curtis finished first in the half mile and second in the mile run. At the Allegheny County Meet, where Sewickley finished seventh in a field of 30 schools, Bill Curtis captured first place in both the half mile and mile events, Bill Stone leaped his way to second place in the broad jump, and Booker Rainer took second place in the lightweight 100 yard dash. The Sewihi trackers were not so fortunate, however, in the W. P. I. A. L. Meet at Pitt. Here Curtis gathered Sewickley's only points when he finished fifth both in the half mile and the mile events. In pre-season competition at Pitt. a sprint medley team took second and third places on successive weeks. ln this type of race the first man runs 220 yards, the second 440 yards, the third 880 yards, and the fourth a mile. ln placing second, the team, composed of Clifton Proctor, Harvey King, Bill Stone, and Bill Curtis, finished just one yard behind the winning team in a race which saw the track record shattered by 17 seconds. Seventy-three Track and Field Participating in Track events are: 100 and 200 yard dash: Clifton Proctor, Booker Rainer, Gregg Milligan: 440 yards: Bill Stone, Clifton Proctor, Leonard Harris: Half Mile: Jack Lottes, Bill Curtis: Mile: Bill Curtis, Bruno Toia, Richard McKelvy: Relay: Bill Stone, Clifton Proctor, Robert Galey, Leonard Harris. In Field events: Pole Vault: Arthur Wilson, Harvey King: High Jump: Booker Rainer, Robert Galeyz Broad Jump: Bill Stone, Robert Galey, Harvey King: Discus and Shot Put: James Wharrey, John Pascuzzi: Managers: John Fetter, Vincent Wholey. To Mr. Nevin, the track team of 1940 and the entire student body wish the most success in his capacity as the track coach and hope that his year here may produce champions both on the track and in the important element-sportsmanship.

This year sufficient candy was made to fill l000 stockings. The bright colors of the hard candy made attractive packages and would certainly help in making a happier Christmas for those to whom they were given. Miss Stewart's classes in sewing also turned their attention to the work of the Red Cross. Yarn was procured, and many articles were knitted to help supply the children in distressed countries.
