They now must leave behind their teach- ers, their classrooms, their friends, to step into the outside world, a world fraught with toil and strife, a world Waiting for the service of youth. The 1942 tliewihi is published in the hope that it may be a reminder of the happy, carefree days of life at Sewickley High School, days spent working, playing, and living together - a joyous time as all will appreciate the more when leafing through these pages 1, in later days. Four Mrs Nfcwjoerie Carter l O Mrs. Marjorie Carter, our librarian and study hall monitor, is dedicated the 1942 volume of The Sewihi.

By her friendly counsel and advice she has long been known and appreciated by students of all classes, and has grown to great popularity.during her years at Sewickley High School. The Class of 1942 ,iiecognizes her as a devoted, faithful leader, and a true friend. Five Faculty STANLEY G. STROUP Mr. Stroup has said farewell to Sewick- ley High, leaving on March 31. He re- signed his duties here to take charge of an educational project connected with naval training. He has been connected with our high school since 1929, as principal, teacher of public speaking, and football coach. Students found him interested in them and their problems, ready to be of service in whatever way possible. He was especially interested in encouraging student responsi- bility for planning and conducting the many activities of the school, and in recog- nizing the success Won by those who were leaders. He will be missed 'by faculty and students who Wish him success in his new fleld. Members of the Class of 1942: In these difficult and uncertain days, wise thinking and careful judgment will be needed in making right decisions. lt is hoped that your training in school has given you vision and understanding which will help you meet the trying problems both of the present and of the future, Your gradu- ation here marks the beginning of your work elsewhere. My interest in you continues, whether you now enter upon your life work, or you go to some higher institution of learn- ing, or perchance, you are called upon to enter some branch of the service. You are to feel free to ask for any further service the school or I may be able to render.

C., '42 Class Poem OUR ROAD OF LIFE We've journeyed to the forks of the road A turning point in our life, Another goal achieved, yet many more ahead to win Which road shall we take? 'Tis a serious trust which can be decided Only by those who face the decision, Tramping along the rough path Appreciating its sunny vistas - Suddenly it turns And leads us far beyond our expectations. There have been many gaps. But by stepping cautiously and using good judgment We have avoided them. Struggling - but we've won, Through the guidance, kindness, idealism, And patience of our teachers, We have accomplished much, Adjusting ourselves as we go along the way To the world before us. May our goal of shining glory and success Lead us on our road of life. The little joys - The happy get-togethers - Things we took pride in v Are deeply rooted within us. We are intrigued by passing fancies, Invariably searching blindly. For who knows who is traveling on that same road? And so - from fondly reminiscing, We take ourselves from the past into the future - Hoping to be remembered, Hoping to meet again With all the friends of our youth, Along their road of life and ours, As the roads of life cross.

Memories of IQ42 E the Class of 1942, in the days ap- proaching the commencement hour, when high school days are over and life broadens, stop for a moment to reflect. The world does not present a happy reality: no rosy days are these, for the grim reality of war confronts us. We are going out into times of turmoil, not knowing what the future holds. we are determined to do our part: to help in whatever way we may: to fit ourselves to the world need: and to share in the task of remaking the world. We know that each and every one of us will carry in our hearts never-to-be-forgotten memories of Sewickley High School days. We know that the work, the fun, the victories we have shared will help us in the days ahead. The time we have spent together seems all too short as if to remind us of the rapid movement of the world. With mingled feelings of regret and pride, we accept our high school diplomas. We entered our freshman year with the excel- lent enrollment of one hundred and fifty-four. New students were the bewildered yearlings. getting lost though sure we were following our schedules. These wondered at the ease of Sewickley classmates and heard their talk of past history: how, when after entering this building in seventh grade they had the embar- rassment of packing up their books and return- ing to the grade building. We were impressed with the rules and regulations - how would we ever remember? We looked over the Oracle and found classmates' names on the activities lists and learned that to succeed meant we must be ready to volunteer and to work. We thoroughly enjoyed the Julius Caesar and Macbeth, presented by a professional company: the Senior play-Double Doors with the clever mad woman: the Clean-Up Campaign: the big jo'b We made of our Vocational theme. 'Our officers were Lawrence Tiernan, Richard Ruff, and Julia Richmond. And then we were Sophomores and in Senior High School. Edgeworth students in- creased our ranks. We practiced public speak- ing everywhere: wrote autobiographies: gath- ered up all our nerve to dissect Worms and frogs. We tried out for everything and found class members in every activity possible. The Carnival and The Cat and the Canary were the events that year. Our ofbcers were Charles Borem, Helen Hurd, and Marilyn Parker. Junior days were busy days as we took over more and more responsibility for affairs. We moved to the balcony for assembly. We worked toward the Prom in which we would honor the Seniors - and had a line one. We shared in producing Almost Eighteen with high suc- cess and enjoyed The Garden of the Moon. We helped in a mock-election for President, slaved over Historical Essays, ordered our rings, supported the Vocational Clinic. This year our leaders were Richard Mullan, Ralph Smith. Helen McVicker, and Donald Dolde. Then the big day for all high school students came - we were Seniors. How we enjoyed it! How important we felt! But we knew there was work to be done, and we put our shoulders to the wheel to make this a 'banner year. Now we look back over the record. Athletic competition this year was not as keen as usual, except in swimming, but we kept things moving. We look with satisfaction over the record in our issue of the Sewihi. The growth of the band and its colorful uni- forms seems particularly our achievement. The year was broken by Registration, War Ration- ing Enrollment, and the Big Snow. War in- terests claimed time and service and money. We regret the leaving of Mr. Stroup - he will long be remembered as friendly counsellor. Now closes a very busy happy year. It is with deep regret in the heart of every member that we realize that our Sewickley High School days have come to an end. Twenty-five Prophecy NE night, ten years after graduation We visit a fashionable New York Hotel dining room. There, we see a smart-looking couple enter. As they follow the waiter to their table, the girl notices someone siting at an adjoining table who has a faint resemblance to someone she used to know. A flash of recog- nition passes between the two girls and an energetic greeting is spoken. Shall we listen in on the conversation? Hello, Helen McVicker and Vincent Schur- man. How are you? I haven't seen you since our graduation. And what have you been do- ing with yourselves these last ten years? Hello, Walter McPherson and Virginia Grubbs. I didn't recognize you. The years have changed you, Walter. Oh, I'm a com- mercial artist for Lucky Strike cigarettes. And Helen here is an Arthur Murray dance instruc- tor. What about you two? Well, I've done well. I'm a chemical engi- neer at Westinghouse, and Virginia has won a place with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Have you seen the Lucky Strike advertise- ment on Life this week? That is a piece of my work, and the three models were Irene Petter, Helen Jack. and Virginia Kozack. They're Power Models now, you know, in great demand. They were all classmates of ours at Sewickley. Do you know of Jim Cameron's latest hit starring Bob Kleindienst as magician? It is New York's biggest pro- duction in years. Yes, and have you been to the El Chico this week? A fine show with many of our former S. H. S. classmates. Vince Wholey and his orchestra are starring Dick Boyd, expert drummer and second Gene Krupa, also Bob Handy with his famous Silver Trumpet. By the way, did you know that Julia Richmond is manager of the band and gets them many worth-while engagements? Let me see, who else was there. The floor show consisted of Grace and Lois Jordan, who have been storm- ing the country with their new song and dance routine: and Nancy Winters, who has made famous the new song Sunshine Blues, writ- ten by Iona Dietz, and Jack Wachter, the Twinkle Toes of the Dance Floor, a second Arthur Murray. They tell me that next week at the Stanley, Betty Fraser opens with her All Girl Revue. Helen Grason is going to play her famous Hawaiian guitar which has been heard all over the country. The Three Merry Mad Caps - Shirley Malone, Betty Eckert, and Mary Can- nister are a main attraction. Remember, they used to sing together back in high school. Bette Hartle is the star dancer of the show - the best jitterbug in years. That reminds me. Norma Gardner has a radio spot - her voice is marvelous over the air. Well, Helen, we've let the boys do all the talking. Let's tell them what we know of our former schoolmates. I was at the hospital the other day and saw Helen Ristin. She is a test pilot, you know, and injured her hand com- ing down in a dive. Who else do you think I saw? Betty Harrison was the Supervisor of Nurses there, and Margaret Harkness was the great hand surgeon who operated on her ringer. She has won a marvelous reputation. I passed by the Research Laboratory and there was Edward Grogan, head chemist, directing Ade- laide Keller and Ethel Payton, who are his assistants, experimenting with new vitamins. I also ran into Dr. Wesley Parks from New York. He has made quite a name for himself in the world of brain surgery: he performs operations that all the surgeons in town want to olbserve. It's my turn now, Virginia. Go ahead. I read in the paper where Oneida Dippolito and Gladys Grason will go to Africa on a mis- sion of the State Department. While there. they hope to see Charlie Liffert, the explorer, who is hunting for a trunkless elephant. Have any of you seen the article written by our foreign correspondent, Ruth Kinzer, covering the reconstruction of Germany? By the Way. there are several of our old time companions working for newspapers. Hamilton Clark now owns the local newspaper called the Sewickley Daily Star. Betty Pefferman is editor of the Advice-to-the-Lovelorn column. Phyllis Mac- queen is editor of the Woman's Page, and Barbara Hurd gives hints in Interior Decora- tion, while Helen Hurd is the author of My Afternoon, a daily syndicated column. Bill Hoffman is the sports writer and photographer, and Bruce Keusch writes the Dizzy Davis comic strip for Scripps-Howard. Let's return to the world of sports. What do you know, Vince? It is your turn to add to this history. O. K. I'll let you in on all the stories. Stanley Jackson in his new device for sub- marines has broken the all-time record of travel- ing from New York to London in fifteen minutes flat. Tony Barilaro and Francis Start are competing for the National Open Golf Tournament and chances for a win are 50-50. Anne Cronin is widely known for the thor- oughbred horses she breeds on her Maryland farm. Clifton Proctor has won lirst place in many track events. Did you know that Joe Blume and John Eberhardt are now playing Twenty-six Big League Baseball? There is talk going around that John is a second Bob Feller. Have you seen Leonard King's picture in the Fisherman's Journal? He caught the big- gest swordfish in the history of fishing. I saw in the Sport Column of the Sewickley Daily Star that August Macaluso was selected as the All-American Basketball Player of the year. and James Masterani, coach for Ambridge, won first place in the Inter-Scholastic Gym Meet. Our athletes certainly are second to none. I saw Edna Mae McKelvey, our T. W. A. airplane hostess, the other day, and she says that Judith LaRoy has been made director of United States Hospital Service and that Clar- ence Stephenson had been elected Mayor of Pittsburgh. I'm glad to hear that, Pittsburgh will be a much better place in which to live now. Did you know that some of our schoolmates are serving their country now? Richard Eaton is ensign on the battleship Delaware. Walter Gray is a Lieutenant in a Commando Unit, much loved by his men. Charles Borem, one of those unsung heroes, has the dangerous job of testing Army lighter planes. Marie Trunzo, Catherine Stinson, Virginia Wharton, and Margie Holliger are Army Nurses - serving their country with a zest. Don Johnson is a radio operator, and Robert McMaster is ship surgeon on the U. S. S. Idaho. I've just remembered some stars of our class. We certainly have a lot of them, don't we? These students are now at the Penn Theater this week. Mattie King is the comedienne, and the ushers had quite a time trying to keep order. Eunice Townsend is the La Conga dancer and does she have rhythm! Booker Rainer has a good contract for radio: he is a humorist, you know - one of the cleverest. The motion picture at the Warner Theater is Love Without Happiness, Jack Knauz has the leading role. And over at the Senator is Jane McPherson in Why We Love. Every- one calls them the great lovers of the stage and screen, but they never play together. We'll have to go see them both-eh. Helen? Say. did any of you see the advertisement in the paper announcing the opening of a Curb Service owned and operated by Rose Roppa and Angeline Pallone? I also saw that Mabel Mitchell is now a caterer and gives you the best service possible. Angeline Tucci and Rose Toia run a Business School and find jobs for many, many people. Clarence Colvin advertised his paper hanging abilities and got the job of papering the White House. Edward Boylan is the owner of a 1,000 acre apple farm in Oregon, and his famous brand is known all Prophecy over the country. You certainly do learn a lot of information by looking at one newspaper, don't you? I saw in the Sewickley Daily Star that Virginia Kirk and Byrdie Mitchell are operating an Employment Agency in which they promise to find you the servant of your dreams, and they do it, too, Sallie Higginbotham is dean of a secretarial college and the students she turns out are some of the best stenographers, etc., in the country. The two Robinson sisters became teachers-Ruth an Athletic Instructor, and Helen, an English teacher, which we always expected her to be. Say, Vince, did you know that Ralph Smith, the U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, was sent by the President as Ambassador to England? Sure, I knew that. He'll probably be presi- dent some day, too. I saw in my Gardener's Journal that Joe Pascuzzi has been made president of the National Gardeners' Association, and that Margorie Pfaff had achieved fame through her discovery of a formula for growing seedless watermelons. I hear that Wilbert Pluechel has become an executive in the Armstrong Corporation and Ethel Barley is a prominent business woman in U. S. Steel. Think of a girl geting into that! Well, Thelma Berns- dorff has made a great success at hotel manage- ment. 'She runs one of the most popular hotels in the country. Did you know that Herbert Schlentner, designer of army aircraft, and Phyllis Day, buyer at Macey's, have been seen at El Chico more than three times together, My! My! John Hawes is manager of the Edgeworth Club now, and John is still talking about that high pressure sales-talk he got from Vernon Weston, who now sells those HSpeedy auto- mobiles, designed by Richard Haluorsen. Virginia, I took a book into the Public Library the other day, and there sat Angelina Barilaro at the desk. At first I was sur- prised, but then I remembered how she always helped Mrs. Carter in the morning. Have I told you that Mary Brown is a French teacher at Booker T. Washington University? Mary was always so intelligent. Say, Walter, do you remember how Victor Jevon used to make those paper airplanes? Well, he's an aeronautical engineer now and doing quite well for himself. That's fine. I bet you can never guess who I ran into the other day? Edward Value and John Krieger. Edward now owns his own service station on the boulevard, and John runs an athletic club in which the chief activity is chess.

Class Thy President - - - JOSEPH HITE Vice-President - - STEWART LESCALLETTE Secretary - - - ROBERTA DREW Treasurer - MARY MCVICKER TE, the Junior Class of 1942 have spent one of 'lthe happiest, most successful years of our school life. The students of our class did not shun any duties forwarded to them, but took to them gingerly and kept at them faithfully until satisfactory accomplishment was ours. Whether it was raining or the sun shining, our girls were out on the football field, selling their hot dogs, right and left. Wishing to provide a Junior-Senior Prom that the Seniors would remember in future years, our workers showed loyalty to the last minute, holding to the tra- ditions of the school. This year we were represented in all fields of activities including basketball, football, golf, forensic, and dramatics. We were given the opportunity to enact the play, Don't Take My Penny, and due to our energetic and learned Juniors, the play proved a great success. This year also, the names of Juniors were very prominent on the honor roll, the class realizing that intelligence does come first in the world. Those who did not happen to make or nearly make the honor roll, strove in other ways to uphold the teachings of their school. We must say that we have had many hours of joy and gladness beginning with Mr. Bolin's Physics laboratory and continuing through each Junior class room, finally halting at the door of Public Speaking, for this is our last year to get stage fright, and we enjoyed it to the utmost. As a whole, we, the Junior Class, believe that this year has been one of the most instruc- tive years of our lives. We now have a much wider outlook on leadership and its relative activities. We feel that life is one huge job, even though our small job now in the life of the student is to accept the responsibility of being a Senior, at the fore in activities, shouldering responsibilities of leadership and service for and with our schoolmates of younger years. We will strive with all our might to make the school proud of its next year's Senior Class, for this class is proud of its school. R. G.

Thirty-three The Sophomovfe Class President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer HE Sophomore Class reviews an important and busy year. New faces, new teachers, and new studies all greeted us as we entered our first year of Senior High School. We rejoiced in a larger class, as Edgeworth mem- bers moved in. We elected as worthy oflicers: Jack Paton, President: John Koch, Vice-Presi- dent: Charles Rice, Secretary: and Joyce Maust, Treasurer. Our members proved them- selves outstanding in many various activities. The class was well represented in Glee Club, Oracle, Student Council, and the Orchestra. There were many sportsmen, playing football and basketball and doing fine work on the gym and track teams. Class work opened to us new and interesting iields. Dissection of crabs and frogs, working problems in geom- etry, and translating foreign languages all excited us. At lirst we thought of Public Speaking and Bookkeeping as work, but soon we became at home in all our studies. lt has been a good year under the guidance of Mr, Dambach, Miss Koehler, Miss Doty, and Miss Andrews, and we look forward to being the Juniors of 1942 and 1943, getting ready for the most important year - our Senior days.

Thirty-five The Fveshmcm Class President - Vice-President - Secretary - -Treasurer - HE closing of another school year brings us to the end of our Junior High career. Although anxiously awaiting our Hrst year in Senior High, we can look back on our past records with pride. We reached many a goal under the able guidance of our home-room teachers: Miss Simpson, Miss McKenzie, Mr. Thome, and Mr. Nevin. We were helped by our own chosen leaders. Oilicers elected to lead the class were President, Robert Haley: Vice-President, William Cook: Secretary, James Knoch: and Treasurer, Mary Lou Gil- bert. Many of our members have earned their scholastic letters this year, thus labeling them- selves the brain-trust of the Class of 1945. We have several persons who have shown excel- lent athletic ability. We have high hopes that these athletes will carry on and bring honors to our school and class for the rest of our course. What of the next years? Which students will you see in the Merit Paraden? Who will be our actors? Can we contribute our share to the high school orchestra and band? What ones will be our leaders in student gov- ernment? Will all of us do our part to make homeroom activity more interesting and worth while? What names will we see on the regis- ter of the National Honor Society? To all these questions the future holds the answers. May each of us, in our school years to come, double and redouble our efforts to make bet- ter records than we have made, and to pro- mote the glory and honor of Sewickley High School. R.

Even though we were the youngest class in school it was fun to make new friends quickly and get acquainted with new places and new teachers, We elected good leaders as our class oilicers: President, Lester Abercrombie: Vice-President, Robert Wieland: Secretary, Jean Brooks, Since the beginning of school this year, we have been very busy in our work, especially in Science. Notebooks have been demanding careful attention as we wrote of doing experi- ments and studying our water supply and how it is made safe for our use. Our class has been together ever since start- ing school in kindergarten. We have been looking forward to the days when we would be in high school. We are now looking for- ward to the day when we shall enter college or start in some life work. We are at the place were we must study what we are going to make of ourselves. We hope that, what- ever we choose, Sewickley High School will be proud of our class. We are interested in the fact that when we leave Eighth Grade, one of our teachers, Miss Fickinger, is leaving, too. Though she would no longer have had us in classroom, it would have been nice to see her every day. We will feel a special bond in our being her last class here, To her we wish all the luck, health, and happiness in the world. J.

Thirty-eight l The Seventh Grade ROM the beginning of our school experi- - ences we have been looking forward to the time when we would leave the elementary school for high school. Now that time has come. We have had many good times to- gether as we came up through the step by step progress in school, and we hope that we will have many more in the days and years to come. Today we are the Seventh Grade: tomor- row we will be the Class of '47, It is hard to say goodby to this our school. We love our beautiful building with its wide halls, its land- scaped lawn, with the familiar faces of the teachers who have helped us on our way. We wonder if we will easily become at home in another school. But we know our new home somewhat. We have reported on occasion for special classes and for auditorium programs. We know that adventures will come to us in high school. We are going on to new things, to new teachers, and we hope that they and the other students in the High School will be proud of us. J.

Activities F The Student Council ARLY in the fall, the Student Council was organized under the supervision of Miss Hubbell and Miss Simpson. The installation service presented, in its symbolic way, the ideals for which the Student Council was organized. The Spirit of Se- wickley High School appeared with lighted candle and summoned the members to light their candles from hers. The pledge of loyalty was administered by Mr. Stroup, and the mem- bers were introduced. The president of the various classes then pledged support to Council plans for bettering school matters and leader- ship in such lines as the Council promotes. The members are elected from each class of the high school. The meetings are held Tues- day in the activities period. The boys and girls elected their oflicers respectively. The oflicers preside alternately at the meetings. Both presidents, with the chairman of the Assembly Program Committee appear as pre- siding oHicers at all chapel programs. The most successful accomplishments of the year were managing the annual Alumni dance and the Piano Concert. besides two locker inspections. Lunchroom, traflic, sanitation, and other duties assigned, have been faithfully performed. The council has advised the student body, which they represent, and guided them successfully through a fine school year. The final event will be the annual tea honor- ing the Senior Girls and Mothers of 1942. The Student Council feels that the coopera- tion offered by students and faculty have made a good year for all. The memfbers are proud of belonging to such a responsible position. Officers for the year have been: Girls' Council: President, Anne Wharrey. Vice-President, Nellie Shaffer: Secretary, Mary Jane Littlecott. Boys' Council: President, Ralph Smith: Vice-President, Joseph Hite: Secretary, Wil- liam Porter. M. J. L., '44 Forty-two The National Honor Society HE National Honor Society is purely an honorary group. To those who receive membership comes the highest distinction which can be attained in secondary schools, Each member proudly wears over his heart the pin bearing the name of the society, the Keystone, and the flaming Torch. The Keystone sym- bolizes the essential part of every arch: this society brings the necessary, supporting factor of high school life and activity. The Torch stands for the ever blazing ambition of the society members to achieve bigger, better, and higher things. At the bottom of the pin are four tiny letters, which stand for the four main qualities kept in mind when the committee of faculty memlbers consider students for member- ship. These qualities are: Character, the dis- tinctive trait which reveals what we really are: Scholarship, the ability to gain knowledge by earnest study: Leadership, the power to dis- play initiative in showing others the way to success: and Service, the willingness to per- form duties beneficial to the school. These signs serve as an inspiration to other students to cultivate praiseworthy characteristics, This year, the National Honor Society, in order to render truer service to the school. sponsored the production of a gala magic show, called Boom Boom. A number of students participated and helped to mark down another success on Sewickley High School's slate. A new method has been adopted by the committee by which two elections are held each year. Formerly only one group consist- ing of both juniors and seniors, was chosen in our school year. Now two groups are induct- ed and only seniors are considered. Those elected in December, 1941, were Harriett Emrich, Helen Hurd, Mary Brown, Anna Wharrey, Richard Mullan, and Ralph Smith. Added in April, 1942, were Margaret Hark- ness, Tony Barilaro, Richard Boyd, Jack Krieger, and Lawrence Tiernan. M. L. B., '42 Forty-three The Qercliestm HE organization known as the Orchestra is one of our most outstanding groups. We march into assembly to its accompaniment: we sing seriously or joyously to its strains: we pass from assembly as it urges us back to work. The sound of practice on Tuesday and Wednesday lends its influence to our quiet study periods. For our plays, it provides entertainment before and after and between acts. It strikes up for our pep meetings. It is a vital part of all our programs. All members will agree that they acquire much valuable instruction in playing accurate- ly and in unison, using music that meets a necessary standard, and gaining experience which cannot be valued too highly by young musicians. After the hours of effort and attention, the group presents a performance showing the effects that can be gained only through careful, attentive practice. Orchestral selections are limited for the most part, be- cause of the small number enrolled. This year the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Carroll and has grown in number during this past school session. Next year, the orchestra is expected to be bigger and better than ever before. The use of popular numbers this year is acclaimed highly by the student body. Director: Mr. A. E. Carroll. Assistant Director: John Robertson. Piano: Harriett Emrich, David Rosensteel, John Robertson. ' Violins: Carmella Valenzi, Lois William- son, Charles Emmert, Joan Morwood, John Grazioli, Mary Anne McCullough. Trumpets: Bette Keith, Dorothy Young. Tom Jerman, Ted Henry, Dick Mullan.

R., '43 Forty-four The Band HE drums are banging, the cymbals are clanging, and the music is something grand. That is one good way to describe Sewickley High School's band. It plays under the very capable direction of Mr. A. E. Carroll who has a very wide experience in the field of music, a man who really knows his band and what they can do. The band is composed of forty-live members, the most of whom try very hard to make their band the best that can be had. Remember the Cory Pep Rally when every- body got the Hrst real look at the band mem- bers in their new uniforms. That was the night we paraded through town and had our community pep meeting at the Gulf Station. The noise was terrific, made by the band and the student's cheering. Then the next day when we traveled to Coraopolis to prove we had a better band than they did - which we did. Then the big success we had with our Concert. We worked hard to put on a good program that Thursday evening. We hope there will be more in the future. We escorted the American Legion to the flag dedication at St. James' Catholic School. We paraded on Memorial Day with great success. This was the lirst time we were really seen in public, because all our other parades had been small affairs. The members of the band are as follows: Trumpets: Tom Jerman, Tom Swan, Tom Sokol. Bette Keith, Dorothy Young, John Grazioli, Dick Mullan, Clarence Hinerman, Paul Bacon, David Hawbaker, Robert Handy. Clarinets: Bob Heinz, Jack Knauz, Vir- ginia Berkenbush, Anne Maruca, Tom Pren- dergast. Saxophones: Betty Fraser, Jane Wharrey, Fred Emrick. Trombones: Don Williamson, Don Wil- son, Bob Willison, Douglas Coulter. Tuba: John Sokol. Drums: Dick Boyd, Bill Porter, Charles Harriger. Betty Masterani, Edna Goubeaud. Bass Drum: John Andrews, Tony Trunzo. Cymbals: Bob Kleindienst, Tony Cicco. Drum Major: Vince Wholey. Drum Majorettes: Virginia Ducey, Ellen Louise McMaster. Twirling Major: James Donald. V. W., '42 Forty-iive Forensic and Music League EWICKLEY students representing the school had quite a bit of success in State League in Forensic and Music Contests. All those taking part know they gained greatly by the experience, in preparing, in tryouts at home, and in contests afield. They enjoyed the friendlyispirit shown in these contests. Ralph Smith, with no opposition in tryouts, won twice for the school, becoming County Champion in Original Oration. James Cam- eron attained a third in Declamation, after winning over four at home. Harriett Emrich in Poetry Reading and Stanley Lourimore in Shakespeare did good work but failed to place high. In Music, a better record was attained. The Mixed Quartet of Bette Keith, Virginia Grubbs, Warren Powell, and David Rosensteel took a second place. The Girls' Trio-Ruth Kinzer, Alice Kinzer, and Margaret Harkness took a high third. The Boys' Octet, including Joe Pascuzzi, Kenneth Wilson, Ted Brooks, James Donald, Vincent Tocci, Eugene Brant, Ralph Bollinger, and Thomas Ducey won a second award. Another second was won by the Girls' Ensemble, a group of the school's best femi- nine vocalists: Mary Cannister, Betty Shan- non, Jeanne Wright, Betty Eckert, Jessie Hurd, Dorothy Lynch, Marjorie McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Valenzi, Joyce Maust, Irene Jack- son, and Shirley Malone. Betty Ann Dawson placed second with her fine playing on the 'cello, accompanied by Harriett Emrich. Evidence points to excellent work by all, and so the season is counted as a good one. Sewickley played host for the second elimi- nation contest determining County winners in the Speech Arts Division of which Mr. Stroup was director. This program included also Dis- cussion and Extemporaneous Speaking. Forty-six The Glee Club ITH added time for rehearsals this year, planned but interrupted by many un- expected occurrences, the Glee Club has accom- plished wonders. For over half the year, the members reported in the Grade School audi- torium: then it was made possible to stay at home and let Miss Stewart do the traveling. The group has appeared on several programs and parts of it-the trio and quartet, have ap- peared with the Exchange Program. Wherever they have gone they have made hits. Other sections also entered League contests, as Miss Stewart discovered unusual talent, especially in the boys' group. - This year has seen a new branch sprouting -the Girls' Chorus. The girls were glad of a chance to join, and its popularity the first year will surely lead to even greater possibili- ties. Many belong to both organizations - the Chorus and Glee Club. Our singers: First Soprano: Mary Cannister, Betty Eck- ert, Augustine Fote, Norma Gardner, Helen Harris, Betty Hawes, Alice Kinzer, Helen Lucas, Elsie Lou Maynard, Helen McCallister, Jean McCandless, Ruth McDonald, Patsy Mol- mark, Elsie Morley, Betty Shannon, Marion Witzleb, Jeanne Wright.

A F '43 . Q, Forty-seven The HWY NICE again Hi-Y began its year with the A annual f'Jamboree held at the Edge- worth Park. There was the popular picnic food topped off with a speech by Mr. Borger, advisor of the club. As guest speaker, Mr. Clayton Williams, having just returned from Europe, gave an excellent account of economic conditions there. A week later the Induction Service was held at the Y. M. C. A., when the new members were pledged to clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living, and thereby became members of the Hi-Y. The club was then in full swing with fifty members, under the leadership of Lawrence Tiernan, President: Dick Boyd, Vice-Presi- dent: and Dick Mullan, Secretary. Ralph Smith, editor of the Hysteriag Joe Hite, inter- club relations chairman: Ralph Bollinger, pro- gram chairman: and Victor Jevon, financial chairman, along with the officers, composed the Inner Circle. The songleaders were: Walter Gray, Vincent Wholey, and Ralph Bollinger. Our great friend Mr. Neely, played the piano. A promise of a good year was seen and later fulfilled. At Christmas the club held a joint meeting with the Girl Reserves, which the girls returned later in the year. Interesting ideas were brought back from the Boys' Conference at Greensburg by our representatives: Ralph Smith, Vincent Wholey, Jack Wachter, Tom Ducey, Wesley Parks, and Bob Stone. Many other programs were highlighted by musical programs, track meets, boxing matches and many finespeakers. Due to the war and coniiicting prices, the Hi-Y held only one dance, the Senior Fare- well Dance. By plan, music was furnished by Al Carroll and his orchestra and the dance was a huge success. The season ended with a big Jamboree at the Y, planned by the Inner Circle. The Inner Circle inducted new members this year, acted on many questions, and estab- lished some new laws. To the Seniors, Hi-Y will be remembered as a foundation stone in their life. To the sponsors, Mr. Borger, Mr. Nauman, Mr. Atwell, and Mr. Millison, we extend our deep thanks for their excellent leadership and guidance. R. L. M., '42 Forty-eight The Girl Reserves HIS year almost seventy Girl Reserves assembled every Thursday evening uto find and give the best. Traditionally an impres- sive recognition service ushered in a year full of fun and fellowship. The Snow Ball, held at Christmas time was made gay with festive decorations in the Christmas manner. The Copper Carnival. managed by Helen Hurd and Joan Smith, was an even greater success than in former years, thanks to the Club's many talented members. The Mother and Daughter Banquet planned by Phyllis Day and Mary McVicker, showed parents the true value of membership in the club. Among the service projects undertaken were the making of bandages for the hospital, the Thanksgiving Basket, and aid in collecting money for Chinese Relief. Program Chairman, Phyllis Day, with clev- erly planned programs, made meetings fun for everyone. Among the most interesting were programs on constructive criticism, Informa- tion, Please, and Truth or Consequences. Mae Fletcher and Harriett Emrich, our dele- gates to the Mid-Winter Conference at New Castle, told of their experiences. Phyllis Day told of the summer conference at Camp Caron- dawanna. Meetings were made even more interesting by the presence of several guests. Among those we welcomed were Dr. Catherine Clark, Miss Doty, of our faculty, and Miss Savacool, rep- resentative from Central Y. W. C. A. In closing this year, the club extends its thanks to Miss Kerr, Mrs. Baltz, and Miss Cameron, our counsellors, by whose advice we profited many times. Oflicers for '41-'42 were Helen McVicker, President: Helen Hurd, Vice President: Julia Richmond, Secretary: Rheem Hegner, Treas- urer: Phyllis Day, Program Chairman: Mary McVicker, Social Chairman: and Joyce Maust, Council Representative. J. F. R., '42 Forty-nine The Oracle OLUNTEER workers headed by an elect- ed editor-in-chief and assistant editor are responsible for the news columns of the Oracle. If someone fails to do the job, someone else is found: rarely does this occur, for faithfulness is one of the requisites of the newsman. All know that Monday evening is assignment time: that Tuesday evening is work time: that Wed- nesday morning is the dead-line. So week by week, the news columns are carried to the Herald office - that job is Harriett Emrich's contribution to the cause. In early fall, Anna Wharrey was elected as editor-in-chief and Jane McPherson as assistant. In due time, William Hoffman took over the sports department. One could count on Jack Krieger for chess reports. Others working. more at large, were: Judith LaRoy, James Cameron, Eugene Brant, Mary Jane Littlecott. Natalie Topkins, Betty Lou Schuette, Gladys Steup, Viola Finley, and Anne Maruca. At Christmas time, urged on by the Stu- Fifty dent Council, a project was undertaken for a special mimeographed edition. It was decided to call it The Red and Blue, in memory of an old time publication of the High School. For this, extra workers were enlisted-Dick Boyd, for humor: Lawrence Tiernan, for sports: Marian Gates, for illustrations: Lois Kretzler and Sallie Higginbotham, for typing. This edition carried features not possible in news columns - articles, poetry, jokes, and summed up the occurrences of the fall. We do not forget the courtesy of the Sewickley Herald, which gives us all considera- tion when we go out for puiblicity. Pictures of our events and the articles which present them are features of the front page or given prominent position. Interested and sympa- thetic reports follow such pulblic features of our activities. We find in the Herald a friend indeed, and we appreciate it. A. L. W.. 42 The Stage Guild PORTS have their seasons, but the Stage Guild is active all through the school year. The members count themselves the most busy group in the school: from early in the fall to the very last day, there is a job for all the stage hands. They are responsible for prepar- ing the stage for all assemblies, pep meetings, plays, exchange programs, and for the meet- ings of interests using the school as a means to public service. You find the Guild out on the football field making announcements, put- ting up and taking down canvas along the fence, wiring and operating the clock. Their hands are full every day, yet they are ready for any and every call that is made, cheerfully fulfilling their task. They needed all the resources and ingenuity on which they could call to make the stage work for this year a successful project. Two major losses were suffered - the first when its highly experienced stage manager, Malcolm Smith, left school: but his assistant, Glenn l Mechlin, took over and has done an excellent job, winning compliments all around. Then, in the latter part of the year, Mr. Stroup, faculty advisor, able director, left the school. The Guild builds the sets for the plays held in the auditorium and decorates for the Christ- mas holiday. The sets built this year were the modern living room with book cases for the Mid-year Don't Take My Penny, and the old-fashioned, shabby room, brightened by the use of gilt picture frames for the Seniors' Spring Fever. These sets were built at a mini- mum of expense as the purpose was all out for economy. The members: Manager: Glenn Mechlin, '43. Senior: Walter McPherson. Juniors: Frank Walker, Thomas Walker, Robert Wolfe, Thomas Wolfe, Sam Stafford. Sophomores: Jack Doerr, Edward Hurd, William Bulkeley. A Freshman: Allen Hite. Fifty-one Dorft Take My Penny H HREE acts of comedy marked by laughter was Don't Take My Penny, by Martin, the mid-year play of 1942. It was presented by an undergraduate group on Friday, March 13, to an audience which returned high com- pliments on the entertainment of the evening. The story presents the Pringle home with a mother - Margaret Best, more interested in her club lectures than in her children: and a father - Jay Smith, wrapped in his business worries. The family-Mavis, Iris Hinkley, realistically accepting advertising work on the radio: Mark, John Robertson, who desires, above all else, a chicken farmg Penny, Anne Davis, who confidently expects to be selected for the popular role in Stars in her Hair - all are well watched over by Grandma, Ruth Cook. In the kitchen, is Sally, Bette Couser, planted by press agent, Robert Kleindienst, to be discovered by author and producer, Harri- son Day, Ted Henry. Penny's friends - Kerry, Carl Reel, and Gregg, Donald Atwell, present disapproval of her scheme, while Joanna, Roberta Drew, approves. Things get into a tangle of conflicting hopes and realities, but Grandmother steps to the fore and speaks her mind: and then with family harmony restored, Mark gets his farm and Sally, Mavis wins the star role, and Penny returns to her normal activities, Joanna still the adoring fol- lower. The celebrated French designer, Monsieur Henri, John Gormly, brings on his prettiest models for a fashion show-Irene Barley, Natalie Topkins, Irene Petter, Virginia Ducey, Patricia Molmark, Helen Getz. Jane McPher- son, Helen Jack, and Ellen McMaster. Delivf ery boy-Edward Hurd had his place. The prologue was read by Julia Richmond: the student director was Betty Pefferman: and music incidental to the fashion show was played by David Rosensteel. Another inter- esting play production was added to Sewick- 1ey's list. Fifty-two Spring Fever S the curtain rises on an old-fashioned, middle-class living room, the sound of someone practicing simple exercises on the piano is heard. So began the Senior Play, presented with great success on May 15. Although this play, by Ray Hodges, was one of youthful pranks and humorous situations, there is running through it an underlying note of seriousness. Jacky Howard and his sister, Peggy, together with their widowed mother, Bertha, live with the mother's maiden sister, Eulalie Barnes, who supports the family by teaching music. Al- though Aunt Euly gives the impression of being a prim, unfeeling old-maid, her hidden sweetness often crops out. The small amount of money left to Mrs. Howard by her father her been put aside for the children's education, Jacky, who has dis- covered that he is madly in love with Spring E-illington, the town beauty, is already busy with inventing an electric tooth brush. Peggy, who also wants to make her fortune, is mak- ing a sure-cure for baldness, Jacky's athletic coach, Mr. Knight, becomes very much at- tracted to Eulalie and after being helped by Peggy, is able to win her hand. Peggy's love interest is realized in Jack's chum, Ray Butler. Price, the older brother, his wife Donna, and their small son, Bobkins, as well as the sleepy, general help, Tessie, added many amusing situa- tions to the story. The cast is as follows: Jacky Howard - - - Price - - - Ray Butler - Mr. Knight - Peggy - - Bertha - - Eulalie Barnes - Donna Howard Spring Billington Tessie - - - Bookholder - Prologue - Sound Effects - - Fifty-three - James Cameron Alfred Damico Walter McPherson - Robert Handy - Helen Hurd - Ruth Kinzer - Harriett Emric-h Phyllis Macqueen Jane McPherson - Shirley Malone Margaret Harkness Edna McKelvey Richard Halvorsen J. A. McP., '42 Central Branch Girl Reserves T was a loyal group of Girl Reserves who met at the Sewickley Community Center each Wednesday night, The girls were one of the liveliest groups of girls, always ready for a good laugh, service program, handicraft, or whatever came up. Miss Young, a student at Duquesne University, proved to be a capable advisor and made each girl feel independent in discussions and responsibility for programs. We can never be able to thank Miss Young enough for the time she spent with us. Mrs. Williams, of the Center Avenue Y, came to visit and gave very interesting talks and also gave the girls a chance to express their view- points on the subjects. Girls from other clubs were invited as guests. We shall never forget the lively social hours that were held, The trips to Central Y for conferences and programs always proved help- ful and interesting for the girls who attended. The welcoming tea for the Junior Girl Reserves at the Center Avenue Y was great. We were proud to know that we had girls to represent us there in greeting guests and in serving tea. This year it is a matter of interest to say that our group of girls has been the largest group yet of the Girl Reserves in the Com- munity Y. Ollicers of the year were: Blanche Tucker, President: Vivienne Dixon, Vice- President: Delphine Fitzgerald, Secretary: Gladys Ray, Program Chairman: Fannie Smith, Council Representative. Other mem- bers of the club are Maetroy Blake. Mattie Barber, Ruth McDonald, Laura Mitchell. Byrdie Mitchell, Nancy Turner, Dorothy Turner, La Salle Gilliam, Olivebelle Woodley. Carolyn Farrington, Marion Lee, and Audrey From a good year we look forward Snead. to other good years and happy possibilities. B. M., '42 Fifty-four The Chess Team GAIN Sewickley took its customary posi- tion as the district chess center. To cut down on long trips, it was suggested that Sec- tion II of the Western Pennsylvania Chess League be formed. The Sewihi chess enthusi- asts called a meeting of the district chess teams. Representatives from Perry, West View, and Ambridge met in the Sewickley High School. Jack Krieger was elected section secretary. To meet these strong chess teams, Coach Hawes called upon five veteran lettermen: Jack Krieger, captain, Hamilton Clark, Stan Louri- more, Tom Walker. and Gene Brant. In re- serve, waiting for distress calls, were Robert Heinz and Bill Bulkeley. At the section meeting which was called after match play was over, the points were tal- lied. The results showed that Ambridge, the team twice beaten by Sewickley, was the cham- pion. The champs scored 16M points to nose out Sewickley by M point. Perry was among the leaders with 15M points, and West View ended up in the cellar with 12 points. Chess was kept alive during the rest of the year by the famous Hawes-Krieger battles. The mas- ter came out way ahead. Schedule of games: Sewickley .... 3 Amhridge e,... Z Sewickley ..., ZW ZW Sewickley -... 3M IM Sewickley .... 3M Ambridge ,--.. IM in West View .... Perry e.....,.

They are Ham Clark, veteran of two years, and Jack Krieger, Veteran of five years' service. There are still live lettermen left for next year. The depart- ing Seniors hope that they will stick to the noble game and keep Sewickley on top. J. J. K., '42 Perry ..,....- West Viewi' --- 2 Fifty-five Cheer and Song Leaders RE you ready? Let's go! When you hear those words you are most likely to find Vince Wholey and his cheering squad on the field ready for action in their attractive red and blue uniforms. This year the squad con- sisted of Anne Davis, Joyce Maust, Patsy Mol- mark, Rofbert Kleindienst, James McNamee, and Stanley Lourimore. Some new ideas were introduced into the pep meetings this year. In one of them the squad went in for dramatics. The leading role of King West View was played by Bob Klein- dienst. The largest pep meeting of the year is, of course, the rally preceding the Coraopolis game. In the Cory pep meeting this year an amusing football game was played with Mt. Nevin acting as referee, and the team keeping the audience at a loss as to where the ball was hidden. After the meeting came the traditional parade with our new band leading the proces- sion and playing in public for the first time. Singing, as well as cheering, plays an im- portant role in our meetings. Elsie Lou May- nard and Marjorie Dods had charge of this phase of the rallies this year. Our two song leaders, with the aid of the cheerleaders, worked up some peppy routines which stirred up some real enthusiasm. By the end of the season it was proved that there were some really lusty voices in Sewihi. Among the new cheers intro- duced this year the Victory Cheer was the most outstanding. The squad lined up in a UV formation while leading the cheer. It was quite effective and the crowd really re- sponded. This year a cheer scale was intro- duced. Immediately after a cheer had been given, the noise was collected in a box which was then weighed. Sometimes it tipped the scales at a hundred pounds! All in all, the season was filled with enthusi- asm, pep, and fun. Let's hope that our Sewihi cheerleaders will always have as many loyal supporters! J. M., '44 Fifty-six A Venture in Music N innovation program starring three gift- ed pianists was promoted by Mr. Winne and given on Friday night, March 27. Harriett Emrich of the Seniors, John Robertson of the Juniors, and David Rosensteel of the Sopho- mores, were the talented musicians. Each at a piano, each at the Steinway, played to the delight of the audience both classical and popu- lar music in a program of trios and solos. The three-piano numbers were The Star Spangled Banner, with the audience singing, the theme song, Tonight We Love, Deep in the Heart of Texas, and Stardust. It was a most interesting and unusual event with a large crowd in attendance. It was planned as a voting contest on the popularity of the two kinds of music, with red and green tickets presenting a choice to the purchaser. While all players received warm applause, the ticket sale indicated the stronger liking for popular music with three hundred and fifty- eight votes to two hundred and fifteen for classical. The concert, a benefit for the Activities Fund, brought in a considerable sum to be credited to the three who gave generously of their time and musical gifts. Boom! Boom! N January 30, We were given the oppor- tunity to see the great variety show en- titled Boom! Boom! This program played eight months in a very well known theatre in New York, and many other places. The pro- gram was directed by Mr. H. L. Weber who originated it. The program included such features as Georgiana, The Magnetic Girl, The Parade of America, Nemo, the Man With the Miracle Memory, The Snippy Artist, The Chimpanzee and the Clown and many other mysterious things. Forty senior boys and girls took the places of the original New York cast, and this made the program even more interesting. Act I took place in a class room where all the senior boys and girls who took part in PROGRAM Waltz ---- Chopin Claire de Lune - - Debussy Chattanooga Choo-Choo By Harriet Emrich Polonaise ---- Chopin Scottish Tone Picture - - MacDowell Night and Day By John Robertson Waltz in E flat - - - Chopin Humoresque - Levine Elmer's Tune By David Rosensteel INTERMISSION Impromptu ---- Schubert Manhattan Serenade By Harriett Emrich Fourth Rhapsody - - - Dohnanyi Autumn Nocturne By John Robertson Prelude in C sharp Minor - Rachmaninoff Everything's Mixed ' ' Rosensteel By David Rosensteel the show were sitting, trying to learn the art of mind reading. Act II was the part of the show where Margaret Harkness lost her head, climbed through a keyhole, and then came back to her own natural self. In this act we also had the honor of seeing some of our own senior girl jitterbugs go into their routine, as farmerettes. The program closed with the famous Chinese ring trick and a cheer for Boom! Boom! by the clowns, who were senior boys, all dressed up. The proceeds of the program went to the activities fund, which comes to the support of our extra-curricular interests. The show was a grand success, and we made money for our activities. Fifty-seven Assembly Programs NOTHER year has ended, leaving behind it a varied array of chapel programs which displayed not only the talents of Sewickley students, but those of other schools as well, speakers from the wide world, and imported entertainments. The first chapel of the year was the tradi- tional reading of the rules by Mr. Conway. The purpose of this program is to help the new students in finding their way about the building, and to refresh the minds of the older students as to how a person should act during school hours. Those rules have been heard many times, but there is always something that we students have forgotten and need to be reminded of. So We start off the year right. In the fall after the election of cheerleaders and songleaders, these students conducted a series of Pep Rallies throughout the football season in order to arouse that good old school spirit. Their purpose was attained. Proof- resounding cheers and songs heard throughout the building and carried out to the Held for the following game, helping the boys on to victory. We think of our annual but ever-impressive ceremonial programs. First was the Installa- tion of Student Council with its candle light- ing ceremonial and pledges indicating the con- nection of the organization to the school and the student body to the council. Next were the National Honor Society installations - two this year, against the background of the Keystone and Torch design, worked out by the diligent Stage Guild. Three special programs of the year - for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Memorial Day presented plays appropriate to the season and other attractive numbers from the Glee Club, readers, and pianists. Lincoln's Birthday was marked by a radio program, reminding us of Lincoln's life, words, ideals. Other days saw an Extemporaneous Pro- gram, a Radio Skit, the annual Popular Song Day - programs planned primarily for enter- tainment. No year is complete without the elimination program for Forensic contenders, accompanied by the contestants for the Music contests presenting the parts they play, gain- ing experience and self confidence for future events. From other sources came moving pictures. entertainers from the Lyceum Bureau, and the Pittsburgh Dairy Council. Civilian Defense pictures were shown not to let us forget what we can do in this time of war and trouble. The popular Mr. Ramsey returned to reveal foreign countries: Wayne Hanson to tell of Latin-America: Nohl to describe life under Water: John Kelly to discuss conservation: Bob Ford to infcrm of Wild Life: the Ameri- can Song Bag Company brought folk songs and costumes of America. Such events are possible only because of the Student Associa- tion payments. They add much to our grow- ing up in command of information from those who can give it. With the coming of spring came exchange programs. This year Sewickley presented It Pays to be Clumsy, musical groups-singers and pianists, and a novelty number of Mr. Winne's flag swinging. Programs came from Bellevue, Avalon, and West View. The Award Assemblies keep popping up from time to time, giving recognition to the participants in activities and any other honor where honor comes due, such as the Merit Parade. And finally will come the Farewell Assem- bly leaving the Graduates feeling that the school remembers them in their leaving and that they will be welcomed on returning to their Alma Mater. This year's Assembly Committee was the largest ever to work on the job of making our assemiblies interesting and novel. The chair- man, Helen Hurd, was assisted by representa- tives from each class. Other members from the Class of '42 were Helen McVicker, Julia Rich- mond, Phyllis Day, Betty Pefferman, Anna Wharrey, Robert Stone, James Cameron, and Walter McPherson. H. L. H., '42 Fifty-eight Under the Influence 0 HE topic of war crowds out others in our newspapers, on the street, in our homes: naturally it is part of our school. Home Room programs were devoted to discussions of cur- rent events, with News Week and News Review as the basis of information. From any source, all brought contributions. Strange names became familiar. Movements and counter-moves were studied. Chapel speakers. also added realism to our thought of other countries. School hours were adjusted to hear, over the radio. the fateful decision of war. Knitters swung into action - work for the Junior Red Cross, under Miss Stewart: Red Cross under Miss Hubbell, and blue, brown, and green yarn growing into varied shapes appeared. Mr. Winne turned his health classes into First Aid courses and then opened an after-school class for girls. Triangular bandages came to be a common sight. Bond and Stamp buying became another way to do our bit for Uncle Sam and America. Daily the purchasing goes on, and the books get filled. Then plans were made for Air Raid drills. Directions were drawn up and rehearsals were held for two plans of action: one called for a dismissal of all students within walking dis- tance of home, others going to the gym: the other plan called for all going to the gym and lower corridor. These are the set-ups for students. In addi- tion, the high school made possible opportuni- ties for evening classes open to the community for First Aid under Mr. Winne's direction and Canteen cooking classes, one section of which was conducted by Miss Stewart. Out of the interest a school has for its students and alumni came another more warm- ly personal movement. From Mr. Hawes's section of the Senior class came the sheet called Pow-wow, with its friendly word of greeting and names and addresses of boys in the service. It was hoped that it might be a means of friendly contact and of getting started and keeping up the writing of newsy letters to the boys at the Front. THE ALUMNI DANCE HE Alumni Dance, marking the beginning of Christmas vacation, is a tradition in Sewihi. This year the affair was held on December 23, in the gym, and a truly repre- War sentative crowd turned out for it. The Student Council under the leadership of Margaret Harkness and Dick Mullan as co- in traditional chairmen, decorated the gym colors and gay Christmas trees, to add to the spirit of the season. Couples danced to the his orchestra. music of Frankie Rich and Many acquaintances were made and renewed throughout the evening, and a good time was had by all. J. F. R., '42 THE COUNCIL TEA NNUALLY, in one of the very pleasant events of Commencement season, the Girls' Council honors the Senior girls and the mothers of the class. The date this year was May 28, when a goodly crowd gathered. The program of entertainment was presented with Nellie Shaffer as announcer. Two trios and the girls' ensemble sang in their best manner, and in the instrumental line came a piano and a 'cello solo. Then came a social time as all gathered in the corridor for delicious punch and cookies with the lively conversation of people in friendly meeting. The decorations added much to the affair - beautiful flowers of the season in a variety of bouquet. THE JUNIOR PROM N the evening of May 22 the annual Junior Prom was given by the Juniors in honor of the Class of 1942. The high school gym, scene of the festive occasion, was decorated in attractive colors. It took on an entirely different atmosphere, ready for a gath- ering of friends for a good evening of fun and frolic. The Seniors were shown a really good time by their host class. The co-chairmen of the committee were Anne Davis and Ralph Bollingerg other mem- bers were Glenn Mechlin, Margaret Best, Mary McVicker, Joan Smith, Joseph Hite, Donald Atwell, Iris Hinkley, and Dorothy Kaufman. The music was provided by Mr. Carroll's orchestra. The Grand March was led by Junior Class President, Joseph Hite and Phyllis Macqueen. M.

After being scored upon twice and completely outplayed during the first half, the Indians started a pass- ing attack which dominated the entire second half. The game ended with Aliquippa out in front 13 to 0. Although we lost this game, we gained a moral victory, showing that we did not yield to discouraging situations. The home opener found Sewickley playing host to Oliver. Even though we lost this game 14 to O, it was a very tight one. Our team had several scoring chances, but couldn't put the ball over. Sewickley gained her first victory by defeating West View 6 to 0, We showed fine offensive and defensive power which might enable us to beat Bellevue. The Bellevue game was played in a sea of mud which was a disadvantage to the Indians' pass- ing attack, but our running attack with Special Delivery Jones carrying the mail, featured the game. We had several scoring attempts, but because of the slippery ball we fumbled near our goal line and thereby lost our chances. This game ended in a scoreless tie. Sewickley opened its first Class B game with Moon. The Indians gained the offensive at the start, and were not long in scoring. The superb running of Jones and passing by Parrish enabled us to win l8 to 0. Sewickley's next game was played with Ava- lon. Avalon could not stop our passing at- tack which paved the way for our touchdowns. Bob Wolfe, center, intercepted a pass and ran 80 yards to our ten yard line. This pass interception netted our third touchdown. The game ended with Sewickley out in front 20 to O. With hopes of winning the Class B title, Sewickley traveled on. Leetdale's quick offensive drive and Special Delivery Jones's injury took the spirit out of our team. The game ended with Sewickley losing Z0 to 0. McDonald came to Sewickley and was de- feated 7 to O. This game was played on a muddy field which slowed up the game. Gaining revenge for last year's defeat, as Sewickley played host to Avonworth, Sewick- Sixty-four ley's running attack proved too much for the visitors. Sewickley was out on top 13 to 0. In the last game of the season, Sewickley battled her biggest rival, our neighbors across the river. The first half was a scoreless one with 'both teams threatening several times. A Coraopolis drive early in the third period net- ted them a touchdown. Right after Cory's touchdown, Sewickley started her march down the field and passed for her six points. In the fourth period Coraopolis had the ball a good while, but late in the game Sewickley started a drive which unfortunately ended short. Cory gained possession of the ball, and this paved their way for another touchdown. The game ended with Coraopolis out in front 12 to 6. This game was a very hard fought contest, both teams fighting and giving their best for their Alma Matersf' Credit goes to Coach Stroup and his assistants, Dambach and Nevin. for the fine Work which enabled Sewickley to record a successful season. Losing to two Class A teams, Sewickley won five B Class games. lost two. and tied one. CEndil Chester Padovese - Last year the coaches called him too small: this year he grew up to be one of the best all-around ends Sewickley has had. He will be remembered for his stellar playing in the Coraopolis game. CTacklej Clarence Colvin - A big block of granite who threw the opponents for many losses. On the offense he opened many holes for large gains. Three successful seasons' is his record. CGuardJ Jack Wachter - Jack lived up to the family name by succeeding his brothers at the guard post. A good leader and clean sport. tCenterJ Bob Wolfe - Captain-elect for next year's team will be remembered for his terrific tackling and blocking. Might be shift- ed to end next season. qGuard7 Sam Stafford - Sam was a valu- able asset to this year's team for his defensive playing. Willing to fight till the last minute. flTackleJ Dick Boyd - Boom Boom was captain of this year's team - a sixty min- ute man in every contest. Remember his blocking, tackling, and the determination that he gave to his team. QEndl Jack Paton - Patch, the best pass receiver on the team. He is also a deadly tackler. Hopes to be shifted to backfield and with his present experience he will be note- worthy. QBackj William Parrish - Bill is one of the best passers in this section. His fine ball carrying and passing was a main feature for this year's team. QBackH Gregg Jones - Special Delivery carried the mail like a pro. He is our triple threat who can run, pass, and kick with the best. An injury in the Leetsdale game forced him out for the season. He will be a valuable asset next year. CBackQ Robert Turner - Mouse, our speedy blocking back, paved the way for other backs and enabled them to run for long gains. Will be back for another year. QBackil Ross Villella - Blair, a valuable man on the team, known for his powerful plunging. During the later part of the sea- son he was shifted to the line. QBackj Jack Knauz - Jack was the quar- terback on the team. He seldom took the ball, but when he did he went for long gains. Was a fine and capable leader. CBackj Eugene Whitlock J Jeeps's right foot always put the enemy in their own terri- tory. Last of the Whitlocks to play football for Sewickley High. SUBSTITUTES Jim Masterani - Even though he did not start the games, he saw plenty of action at the guard post. This little, powerful man filled his brother's shoes by his mighty blocking and tackling. Bill Brown - A back who did not see much action until the latter part of the season. Will be remembered for his ball carrying in the Leetsdale game. Harry Pancoast - Scotty was a valuable man on the team for his work on the offense. His accurate passing at the center post pulled us out of plenty holes. James Carpenter - Carp, noted for his place kicking which put us out in front in many games. His fine offensive playing at the tackle post let him see plenty of action. Don Johnson - A good tackler and fine worker, needed at the end post. He will gradu- ate this year. Jack Krieger 4 Jack has been out for five years and working for the good of the cause. Credit goes to him for his spirit and cooperation. Joe Pascuzzi - Joe has been out for a long time. Even though he did not play very much, he was a useful man on the squad. MANAGERS Credit for an excellent job of managing the affairs of the team goes to Tony Barilaro, Thomas Wolfe, and William Padovese. These boys supplied the players with all the necessary equipment and kept everything in good shape. A. J. B., '42 Sixty-five The Basketball Team S we look back upon the records of the basketball team this year, we find that out of a possible twenty victories, the team managed to win only three. We lay the blame on inexperience in playing high school ball, and the lack of a little extra height which un- doulbtedly would have created a different set-up in the win column. When recording our losses, we are forced to see the opposition in a bright light. Avonworth, Avalon, and Bellevue had excellent teams, and really it was no disgrace to lose to such line players. The boys this year, nevertheless, achieved what many other teams would have enjoyed immensely. Coraopolis, as most of you know, was runner-up to the champions of the W. P. I. A. L., but do you remember that the Indians defeated Cory 48-46 on the home court, and lost 30-28 at Cory? Aside from this, in many of the League games, the final score was usually very close and never for a moment did the Red and Blue uniformed lads give up the game without a good, clean, hard-fought battle. The team was captained by Chester Pado- vese, a most capable forward, undoubtedly one o-f the greatest in the history of the high school. He scored 199 points in seventeen games, setting a new school record. Halley Willison, another fine player, scored 143 points in about the same number of games. Paton and Mullan played the center position alter- nately. Macaluso and Tiernan held down the guard positions equally well. Substitution was supplied equally well by Joe Blume, Tony Barilaro, Wesley Parks, and Bill Brown. The latter, along with Willison and Paton, will return next year. This year each school carried two squads: thus two games were played each time. Harry Campney and Ralph Valenzi, two boys certain to be on the first team next year, led this team and played well, although they didn't win a game. This new idea will be of great value to the teams of future years, it gives good experience to the younger fellows. We feel certain that were these same fine groups able to return next year, the opposition would really sit up and take notice. Sixty-six Girls' Basketball HE high point of publicity for the Girls' Physical Training comes with a season of intra-mural basketball competition. The re- sult this year may easily be obtained from any Junior girl. Yes, you've guessed it - the Juniors came out on top this season. After waiting with determined zeal for the play-off, the Seniors lost. After a line start at the beginning of the season the Sophomore skill and fortitude weak- ened - just not strong enough. The Fresh- men may be congratulated for their lasting vim and vigor throughout, despite losing all games, promising a strongly competitive group next year. Records show the victories stand: Juniors 6, Seniors 5, Sophomores 2, Freshmen O. Participants of 1942.

K., '42 Sixty-seven The Golf Team 4 l HE mighty par busters of Sewickley, 1942, weren't able to come close to par, let alone break it. Although three veterans returned this season, the opposition proved decidedly too stiff. The outlook at the open- ing of the season looked exceptionally bright, with three veterans returning, but it was thus only until we discovered that each of the other teams had three or more. Francis Start, Tony Barilaro, and Lawrence Tiernan were those who retained their positions. After a qualify- ing round, Tom Walker and Wesley Parks took the remaining positions and Bill Pfeiffer was the alternate. The team was able to win only two out of the eight matches played. which is the poorest golf record ever turned in by a Sewickley team. Previously, the golf te-ams of Sewickley have won their W.P.I.A.L. section for ten consecutive years, the longest record in High School History. The first match was held at Allegheny Country Club with Leetsdale which the team lost ll to 4. The following week at Shanno- pin Country Club, Avonworth decisively de- feated the Indians llh to 32. Then for the first time, Sewickley broke into the win column by defeating Etna 12 to 3, but in the same week they suffered defeat at the hands of West View by an ll to 4 count. This ended the first half of the season, and the second worked out in exactly the same way, Sewick- ley defeated Etna once again and was defeat- ed by Leetsdale, Avonworth, and West View. The final account showed two wins and six defeats. Bill Pfeiffer played the fifth position in four matches, and Tom Walker played the other four. The other boys played well, and Francis Start had the best round of the year, shooting a 78 at Allegheny Country Club. Out of a possible 24 points, each boy took as follows: Tiernan .................. - 17 Barilaro ........a..a-f....- 1 l H Start .................. .... 9 M Parks ......,..n.w......... 9 Walker a.Y..,............. - 7 Pfeiffer a.............a..... 0 Sixty-eight Tennis ENNIS is the sport of the year which con- tinues longest in the last few weeks of school - the last game played was on May 27. This year, 'because of difficulties due to the war and the many rains descending, the activity of the stars of the court was limited. The iirst match on the schedule - with Beaver Falls, had to be called off because of transpor- tation troubles. The first played game was with Bellevue on the Y. M. C. A. courts to the result of a 5 to 0 defeat for Sewickley. The following week the match with Avon- worth had to be called off because of sugar rationing. Finally the schedule was resumed with Beaver Falls pitted against Sewickley and winning a 3 to 2 decision. Clark took his singles match, 6-2, 6-3, and Mullan and Clark Won the doubles, 9-7, 4-6, 6-4. The following Thursday Sewickley played away from home at Bellevue, the result 'being the same as of their first contest. The next week came the first win of the season in the match with Avonworth 4 the score, 4-l, everyone taking his game except in the No. 1 doubles. Another game planned with Beaver Falls was postponed because of weather con- ditions-then that school closed, preventing any match. In the final game Sewickley won over Avonworth by a 3-2 score, individual winners being Clark and Paton: Smith and Clark in doubles. So went the season with Bob Stone as manager, and although not so successful as Sewickley's tennis has been in the past, good reasons for this can be found. Four letter men went at the end of last year: consequently this year's team lacked experience. Next year will ind Campney, Paton, Wilson, Haley, and Heinz battling for top honors. R. S., '42 Sixty-nine The Gym Team l HIS group of mighty muscle men under the guidance of Mr. Winne, although they did well in the different meets that they entered, failed to uphold a record long held by the high school. Each year, teams from Western Pennsylvania have a gym meet, when the team winning the most points receives a plaque. For seven consecutive years Sewick- ley has won this award, but the attempt this year failed. The blame cannot 'be laid on the boys or on the coach, but on the fact that except for two boys, this was an entirely new team composed of mostly Sophomores and Juniors who this year failed, but who with valuable experience behind them, will next year, we feel certain, again produce the neces- sary points. Honors won: Indian Clubs: Second, Wholeyg fourth, Barilaro: fifth, Lourimore. Side-horse: Second, Hite: third, Emmett. Rings: Third, Masterani. Rope Climb: Second, Rainbow. Seven members qualified in the meet held at Munhall, and were sent to Slippery Rock College, to represent the W.P.I.A.L district in the finals. At this meet, Tony Barilaro was the only member to qualify, taking second in the Indian Club event. Masterani and Barilaro were the veteran members of the squad, but both met stiff oppo- sition in their events, and Tony proved more of a master in his. Wholey, a senior, showed good work: it's too bad he can't continue next year. The underclassmen are Allen Hire, Freshman: Allen Rainbow, Stanley Lourimore. and Charles Emmett, Sophomores. These boys all took places, and it is certain that if they can do this well now, the coming years should be quite successful. Bill Parrish was forced out of competition on the horizontal bar due to an injured hand. With all these fellows returning next year, we feel certain that the much-coveted plaque will again adorn the halls of Sewickley. Seventy The Track Team ITH a great many veterans graduating last year, Mr. Nevin had to call for new recruits and had little trouble in finding ample material. Returning this year, we found Bill Parrish, in the javelin event: Eugene Whit- lock, runner and broad jumperp Booker Rainer, sprinter and high jumper, and Ralph Lee, sprinter. New and able track stars were found in Bill Brown, Don Johnson, Gene Brant, and Jim Carpenter. There were only two dual meets this sea- son because of the difficulty of obtaining trans- portation for such a large number of boys. Two meets were held at Sewickley, the team losing both to Bridgeville and Aliquippa, by very close scores. The only major fault of the team this season was that there were not enough boys participating. A glance at the score sheets would show that first place in most of the events was won by a Sewickley' boy, while second and third places were taken by the opposing team. At the Connellsville meet, the boys didn't make the showing that we know they were capable of gaining, but at the Penn Township meet, five boys qualified to enter the W.P.I.A.L. meet held the following week at Pitt Stadium. Here they did well, but the opposition did just so much better. The season, nevertheless, was certainly anything but a failure. Many of the boys will return next season, and we wish them all the success due them. Best time and distances. this season: 'CINDER EVENTS 100 Yard Dash ......., Ralph Lee, 10.6 220 Yard Dash ........

Cnew recordj Seventy-one The Cross State Run N the interest of a Physical Fitness Cam- paign, the Pennsylvania Athletic Associa- tion sponsored a state cross country run. In various high schools groups of runners were delegated to relay a message to President Roose- velt: I pledge allegiance to the United States of America and promise to keep myself physically Ht because it is my first duty as an American. This message, enclosed in an aluminum baton tied with red, white, and blue streamers, was carried from Erie, south to Pittsburgh, and then east to Philadelphia - a distance of five hundred and ninety miles. The Erie boys left historic Presque Isle at 12:00 noon on Friday, October 31. On Monday, November 3. Sewickley boys entered: Robert Wolfe received the baton from Leetsdale, Ralph Smith took it from Wolfe, and then in due order came James McNamee, Glenn Mechlin, William Brown, Jack Knauz, Ralph Lee, Vincent Wholey, Jack Wachter, and, finally, Jack Paton, who gave it over to Avonworth at the entrance to Emsworth. Each boy ran about one half mile, the total distance being about five miles: the time was forty minutes. This distance included a detour from Beaver Street to Harbaugh, along the school building, and back to Beaver. The run continued until finally the message was delivered to a representative of President Roosevelt. Certificates came to the boys and were awarded to them by Mr, Nevin who man- aged the participation for Sewickley. OUR WATER SPORT TANLEY Jackson carries on in a single- handed way all Sewickley's competition in Swimming. He has had such marked success ever since he entered high school that it would take a bold man to force any tryout. At Pitt on Saturday, March 7, he broke two records-the 40 yard free style, and the 100 yard free style in 52.9 seconds. With these new W.P.I.A.L. records, he holds high- est high school records at both Pitt and Tech. He traveled to Slippery Rock on March 14, where he attained a third in the 100 yards and fourth in the 40. On he went to Penn State, March 28, where against strong competition he was able to take a fourth place in the 50- yard and fifth in the l00. Stan has made high school history and won a striking array of medals. FLAG swmdiiwo GAIN Mr. Winne came through with another new idea: last year was Men in Silver : this year, Flag Swinging. He asked for a number of girls to try their luck, and many more than needed were eager to attempt it. Joyce Maust became the leader and the first flag swinger in the high school. She attended all the exchange programs, and really became a good swinger, despite the small amount of time allotted for training and practice. Flag Swinging is done with two flags, large red squares, which are used in something the same manner as Indian Clubs. It is an excep- tionally attractive bit of athletic display, ROPE CLIMB EVENT HIS year, Mr. Winne and Miss Howland decided to hold a rope climbing contest between the girls and boys of the high school, using the official methods for both, the girls starting from a standing position and the boys from a sitting position. Everyone was eligible to compete in this contest. When and if one reached the top, his name was placed on the list on the bulletin board along with the others who had achieved the same. This list reached a high total. Seventy-twd TO THE ADVERTISERS The Staff ofthe 1942 SEVVIHI wishes, in these pages, to show their appreciation of your generous, helpful support of Sewiclcley High School and its activities, without which this book could not be published. We ask of the students that they re- cognize this co-operation, and return the friendliness accorded them throughout the year. Seventy 1 Cinntgrsutulaiinns In the 653555 UE 523352 You are entering upon a period in our Country's history during which you must assume great responsibilities. No other graduating class has ever had the tremendous and unique oppor- tunities afforded you for State, National and World service. We are confident that every one will do his or her part in carrying on our great program of winning this war because we know the spirit of Sewickley as has been exemplified in classes ot other years. Let us all approach this task with a firm de- termination and a high resolve that it will be done so completely and thoroughly that a repetition of such a calamity will be impossible. There is no other way by which we can look into the future and see a safe, free world, a happy and prosperous America of homes, schools and churches, a land that shall be a guiding light to all oppressed humanity.

'id L. Steel Corporation. Work is booming. Isn't it wonderful how each and everyone of our classmates has made a success? Helen, did you see in the Sewickley Daily Star that a group of our girls are going on a trip across the States? Let me see - there were Marion Gates, who has won much fame from her many beautiful paintings: Mae Fletcher, a buyer at Wanamaker's: Jean Sickeler, social secretary to a prominent woman: Harriett Emricb, great New York stage actress, and Anna Wharrey, the iirst girl engineer in America. I think that's all of them. I hope they have a nice trip, with fair weather. Do you remember Mary Coulter and how she used to be such an ardent blood donor? Well, she is one of the Red Cross executives today. Her business ability is highly respected. I'm so glad. And do you remember the two girls that typed the Sewihi, Lois Kretzler and Evelyn 1lfIcDonald? Well, Lois is a Certified Public Accountant, and Evelyn is the private secretary to the Governor. I happen to know that Mary Rupert is a supervisor of the big Woolworth Store in Pittsburgh. I'll have to go in sometime and see if she still knows me. I ran into Bob Stone and Lawrence Tieman the other day and neither one knew me. But finally light dawned, and they remembered. Bob is the engineer that rebuilt Big Ben in London, and Lawrence Tiernan is a chemical engineer at Du Pont's. Dick Mullan owns his own chemical corporation now and has made many contributions to science. Do you know that was a great class to belong to. We should get together. Let's write Dick Boyd, our old class president, and have him start plans for a reunion. Swell idea. Well, we'll have to be going, Virginia. Why don't you two come along with us? Well, there they go, four people, four classmates.
