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
