CLASS POEM We've watched that tree as we passed by, Standing there peacefully, looking toward the sky. We've seen the golden rays of sunshine dance about Playing a game while glancing in and out Around its form. We've seen the lightning strike. The thunder raged Around it, while all the time it did its battle wage Against the storm. It stands, though all the others round it fell. It stands there in the empty dell Supreme! Father, through all the contests we are now beginning Help us that all our battles may be winning. Help us go on just as this tree? Straightforward, noble, ambitious, Free! Keeping Old Glory forever unfurled- Not for ourselves, but for the world.

I 943 P 'W' K ri bi in HERE is an old saying which goes, All good things must come to an end. That is the way we members of the Class of 1943 feel about our high school days. We have enjoyed so many things, and have profited by the things we enjoyed and by the things which seemed hard: and all the time have felt that we were a part of something to which it was worth while giving our time and interest and work. Now Commencement brings an end to that period which every one thinks was perhaps the best time of his life. In Sewickley High we entered on new ex- periences. Freshman days brought into being a new group that busied itself with new experi- ences in a new situation. We will never forget the first few days' bewilderment with unusual schedules and locks, unforgettable locks that just wouldn't open until we faced dreadful tardiness. We will remember the biggest, noisiest night of the Carnival put on by upper classmcn. It was the year of the traditional trip to the Water- works to see just what makes it tick. We shared in the Clean-up Plihde and the work that followed, received special guidance as to our careers from capable and experienced ex- perts, and racked our 'brains trying to complete our vocational themes. With a new year we felt ourselves belonging. We could tell new students what was what. Traditions had become familiar. Elections were carried through: Student Council members were installed in a beautiful ceremony: Home Room Programs were weekly features: the popular Exchange Programs brought a pleasant contact with other schools: the forensic-minded and musically gifted entered competition: Christmas brought the always impressive program-'will we ever forget the German classes singing? The inductions of The Honor Society brought the desire to become such students and leaders that we, too, might be so recognized. The home room Christmas parties come to mind: our enthusiasm in sports with tribute to those who brought honor to themselves and the school. One year we were Class B, W.P.I. A.L. champion. and other years we ran close. Rallies, parades, and bonfires brought out crowds, especially when the Sewickley Band MEMORIES OF IQLL3 added its color to such occasions. Talking of sports, recall, if you will, the State ,Cross- Country Run last year to celebrate physical fitness. We think of many athletic events- remember Mr. Winne's Men in Silver? Memory lingers over special assembly pro- grams--Mr. Ramsey, war correspondent: the Syrian who found he was an American: the Julius Caesar and Macbeth performances: Am- bridge's Twelfth Night: Avalon's gay and unusual plays: the demonstration of the best- dressed student: the popular song days: movies and movies: the glass blowers: the potter and his wheel: the fascinating magicians: world travelers with the marvels of their reports: our own talent days--olkulglae many, many events that four years may Notable plays hav P' on our calendar for which we helped sell tickets-Ceiling Zero, The Cat and the Canary, Don't Take My Penny, and our own War Correspondent- these seem special. Changes have occurred, too. One fall Mr. Danner was missing. Mr. Nevin's smiling face became familiar. Miss Foster resigned. Mt. Stroup left last spring. In the fall Mr. Thome, Miss Doty, Miss Fickinger, and, soon, Miss Bloomfield no longer were with us: Mr. Mc- Namara was called to new iields. Welcome was given to Mrs. Smith, Mr. Binney, Miss Gerhard, Miss Wisner, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wor- ley was here for a short period. The Social Science classes talk of three teachers this year, and so do some Commercial classes. The War has touched us closely. Not only in the way of teachers. Many have dropped from our class so that the class which has counted as many as one hundred and thirty now graduates as eighty-eight. Many' will be called to the colors upon graduation: others will follow in short order. Places will be found for most of us in some way or another to speed the new day-a world contest is on. Our reminiscing closes on a somber note, but no matter: we leave our high school days with hearts and hopes high. Whenever we get down- cast we will look back to the good ti'mes of our high school days. and troubles will be lighter. D. K., '43 Twenty-three PROPI-IECY T is the afternoon of June 18, 1963. We are amid a scene of colorful festivity, in one of a number of gaily decorated pleasure vessels dotting New York Harbor. We are about to witness a gala occasion. the start of the maiden voyage of the new luxury ocean- streamliner, Sewickley Metropolis. There on the bridge we see her builder, Harold Maruca, and standing next to him her sponsor, Rear Admiral John Gormly. The flying officer with the binoculars is Captain Halley Willison. You remember he command- ed the First U. S. Squadron of rocket planes designed by Robert Kretzler, aerodynamic engineer at the Carl Reel aircraft construction works. On his right stands the ship's captain. John Parry Andrews, in company with his officers, including radio operator Fred Way. and navigator Thomas Walker at the wheel. Also present are some important civilians. Arguing vehemently with the ambassador from Siam we see the linguist, John Robinson, and next to him Chal Schuette, president of the International Audubon Society. The one with the big black book and absent-minded look is Arthur Barnes, who has explained to the world at large, in simple terms, the meaning of the Einstein theory. The fellow with the scowl on his face is the experimentalist, William McLean. It seems that he is somewhat dis- turbed because capitalist Joseph Hite, the chief financial backer of the Sewickley Metropolis, refused to accept his atomic motor as a power- plant for the ship. And look! there's a woman on the bridge! It's Commander Dorothy Kaufman, national director of the WAVES. A woman on the bridge! tch-tch! But she's in uniform, so where can you draw the line? And look there on the foredeck-Evelyn Bishoff, the first woman explorer ever to reach the North Pole. She seems to be arguing politics with Senator Iris Hinkley from Pennsylvania. Martha Lutz, powerful lobbyist for Women Wage Earners, puts in a word now and then. There leaning on the toprail we see a group of more women adventurers. There's Ruth Cook, wealthy globe-trotter and seeker for new worlds, and beside her the star acrobat, Barbara Ford, who has toured Europe and America with P. T. Barnum and Co. Counting from right to left you see Dorothy Young, world's only woman deep sea diver, Jeanne Wright, twice winner of the Irish Sweepstakes, Hazel Wharrey, a hostess on the Miami-to-Rio de Janeiro submarine line, and Martha Heuler, racing pilot, being interviewed by Anna Smith, solicitor for Lucky Field cigarettes. By the way, did you know that Emma Muse is now radio auctioneer for Lucky Fields? Fannie Smith has been the singing star on that pro- gram. Let's take a look at A deck and see if we can identify some of the distinguished people there. I think the girl in slacks is draftswoman Ruth Hegner, who helped to design the ship. Yes, I see she's debating some fine points in construction with industrialist Sam Stafford and his secretary, Mary Lois Luzadre. Do you see that group by the capstan--quite a party of intellectuals? Mathematician Rosa Craig for one. She seems to be quoting out of a log book to economics teacher Helen Harris and William Gilliam, Latin professor at Washing- ton University. The tall muscular man with the faraway look is the celebrated philosopher James Carpenter. And edging up there for a candid shot I see studio cameraman Robert Harris. There seems to be some excitement over at the swimming pool, so let's go take a look-- and my, what a look! Did you see that swan dive Sarah Waite just finished? Since her in- struction under Dr. Joan Smith she has become the national long-distance swimming stunt champion. By the way, there's Dr. Smith now, sitting at a table with another circle of masterminds. There's Cecilia Sacco, one time peace worker in Japan, historian Thomasina Mendicino, whose textbooks are used in schools all over the country, including old SHS, and radio script writer Mary Toia. Mary works exclusively for Helen Getz. authority on the new bookkeeping system. Speaking of SHS, I see some more of her alumni climbing out of the pool now. There -playboy Morris Merriman has just pushed Stewart Lescallette back into the water. Merri- man made his millions in oil and Dr. Lescal- lette, veterinarian, is taking a vacation after he and Bio-Chemist Rita Thieret Hgured out a successful way to mend the broken legs of horses. Dorothy McCrea, New York Commis- sioner of Zoos, has said that the system could be used on larger animals as well. I see Nellie Shaffer is trying to hold a dramatic pose with a rubber ball for sculptress Dorothy Skiles, who is trying to do her work in wet sand. I don't think she'll get very far with it, espe- cially with Elaine Morrisey splashing her like that. But Nellie has certainly gotten far with her flower growing. She has made it a regu- lar industry, having bred three new types of orchids. And Elaine is author of Social Chit Chat, a syndicated column in the New York Daily Blast. You recall she recently ran a scoop on the famous penthouse murder case which was finally solved by private detec- tive Frank Walker. And look up at the fore-mast-that's no sailor up there in the crow's nest. It's artist Margaret Best. She is making a sketch of photographer Thomas Jer-man in the other crow's nest on the main mast. Jerman, of Twenty-four course, is about to photograph her. After this little formality they'll probably concentrate their respective talents on the deck below. Captain Donald Atwell of the American Air Force is waiting for them. Well, welll There seems to be more excite- ment aboard ship. Not only do we find this maiden voyage a great event, but there seems to be something else important. Walking along the deck we suddenly see various couples look at their watches, get up from their deck chairs, and hurry off. Wondering what is to take place we follow a couple who look very familiar. Sure enough it is Lois Williamson, head of the Little Suits for Little Women chain stores, busily talking to Glenn Mechlin, famous Hollywood Producer. We ask them where they are going, and we find that there is to be a big Broadway hit in the Tulip Room, which was designed by Mary Lou Snedden. Glenn and Lois ask us to join them and we accept with pleasure. Vincent Tocci, noted author of the day's best seller, What Comes Next, joins us. We go down the steps into the lounge and find it quite crowded as everyone has stopped there for a few minutes before the show begins. Through the 'big double doors on the right we see Angie Cunzolo, Betty Zeber, and Eve- lyn Spackman. These three smartly dressed women look at us questioningly and then a look of astonishment and recognition comes over their faces. We greet them and ask the usual questions, It seems Angie is now a secretary for Eleanor Merriman, whose Sleep- ing Tablets for Sleepy People are well known throughout the country. Betty and Evelyn are joint owners of a Fashion School in New York City. They are quite well known for the famous models they have turned out, among these La Verne Luster and Dona Arnold. La Verne's hair is known for its luster and Dona's eyes are sure to be seen in all ads advertising Ralph Valenzi's Glamour Dust, a preparation he has just perfected for brighten- ing the eyes. We go on then through the doors into a long hall. On either side of the hall are minia- ture shops. Taking a peek into one we find a Flower Shoppe run by Jacqueline Dempsey. Jacky developed a new plant which she has named the Newtonium Grubbium after the eminent agriculture expect. In another shop we End William Brown, a well-known foot specialist and his assistant, Vivian Campbell. With them too is Minnie King, the doctor's secretary and receptionist. She tells us some interesting news. It seems that Gregg Jones, coach at Lincoln University has had an unde- feated season with his football team and is being hailed as a national hero. Ralph Lee established a new world record just recently PROPI-IECY when he ran the well known Mile-a-minute race in half a minute. Gladys Ray has done well for herself, too: Gladys is an efliciency expert for Henry Kaiser. We continue down the corridor for we have just five minutes before the program begins. We are very much surprised upon entering to find Dr. Edgar Henry, head of Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Thomas Wolfe, director of the Free Medicinal Union, with their secre- taries, Miss Jane Wharrey and Miss Hilda Pauloski. Dr. Henry has perfected a new medical treatment for curing heart trouble. Miss Roberta Drew, famous organist at Radio City, says that the Hite of her success was due to Dr. Henry's medical treatment. The first item of interest is the dedication of the Tulip Room by Michael Lebhaft, who just recently returned from Mars in his rocket ship Crash Speed. Michael was introduced by the Master of Ceremonies, Eugene Brant, pres- ent head of the Sports Department of the cur- rently popular magazine Time Flies. Beverly Bailey and Mary McVicker are also on the staff of this magazine. Beverly's car- toons called Temptations are read by every- one, and Mary's personality column- You Too Can Be a Whiz, is a favorite with all the ladies. Ethel Schroeder is the advertising manager of the magazine. To go on with the program we find that all gowns were designed by Anne Davis, whose new styles and creations have given Adrian a headache. The stage setting was designed by Catherine Heuler. We hear that Catherine is also very much interested in racing horses, and her favorite this year is - Can You Spare a Dime -who is paying fifteen to one. There seems to be some other entertainment besides the play. There is Kenneth Wilson, well known night club entertainment who com- bines singing and bright chatter. Then at intermission-Augustine Fote, Metropolitan's newest soprano will sing Ah, Me from Patricia Molmark's latest Opera of the same name. Pat has written several operas recently, one very well known one being- Yes, Yes, Jarrett. Audrey Williams appears in costume dancing. And then we come to the height of the entertainment. We are truly honored tonight by two very distinguished artists. John Rob- ertson, director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, is here to direct the Sewickley Metropolis' orchestra as background for the Broadway hit- Woman Supreme, starring the well known stage and screen actress, Bette Couser. The lights dim for the performance and as we watch the play we wonder if ever again we shall have the opportunity of seeing so many of our old friends together again.

Twenty-nine THE CLASS OF i944 l 'FY .1 ff' President - - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer - HE Junior Class looks back on many memorable things which belong to l942- '43 in Sewickley High School. We believe our members have been faithful in the duties to the school and to themselves. They may have grumbled and complained a little, but they always went ahead to complete the task, whatever it was, to the satisfaction of all concerned. Our girls added their bit to the football season by trudging around the field with hot dogs which always hit the spot. This year they took over the sale of candy and handled it capably. One of the members took on a new service-selling candy in the lunch room. The sweets made a welcome addition to packed lunches, to the happiness of out-of- towners. While this was service, it also added to a class fund for whatever uses we may make of it. The class was, of course, well represented in activities. The orchestra and band claimed our virtuosos and helped them in the practice and experience which will further their plans some day to the glory of Sewickley. Not to be lag- gards in any Held, we went out for sports-the football, basketball. and gym teams boasted a number of stars from the ranks of '44. But with all this, there was no neglect of lessons. Although often perplexed by the prob- lems of learning, we always found a goodly percentage of our membership on top-no, in brain power we are not lacking. We are proud to say that when the opportunity came for enrolling in the new classes suggested by war- time needs, the Juniors were quick to see their importance and enrolled. Even though they are a lot of hard work, we stick loyally to the task, feeling that in this way we can prepare ourselves for possible usefulness in these days of strife. On the whole, it has been a successful year. We have gained in education, in ex- perience, in leaderhip. Next year when we step - JAY SMITH RHEEM HEGNER - BETTY LIEBE - FRED EMERICK into the Senior year, and shoulder the respon- sibilities of that position, we will feel that we are able to uphold and honor the best traditions of Sewickley High.

Thirty-one THE CLASS OF 1945 President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurctis - UR eventful Sophomore year is almost at its close. We shall look back upon good days filled with activities in which we partici- pated, classes we attended, and friends we made: we shall think of it as a good year for us. The home-room teachers who looked after us and guided us are Miss Koehler, Miss Wisner, Miss Andrews, and Mt. Dambach. All thought- fully directed us in making the most of school. The class feels that it has an unusual number enrolled in the activities of the school-Student Council, Glee Club, Football Squad. Track and Field, Band, and Orchestra. Such activity proves a class is on the go, ready to do all that comes its way. Then, too, a good showing was made this year in purchasing War Bonds and Stamps. We look forward to the Junior year, for each new year offers new courses. We hear the upperclassmen talk, and we want to share in the interest. Then, too, each year brings re- sponsibilities to shoulder, and we are ready. Our original number has decreased as some members are doing Defense Work, and it makes us feel proud that many will soon be enlisting in the Armed Forces of our country. A. R.

Thirty-three THE CLASS OF IQ!-L6 X,-I - at President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer - N this, our last year in Junior High School, we are all eagerly looking forward to the years to come. Many goals have been reached with the help of our teachers, not alone in class-room teaching but also in home-room companionship. Miss Simpson, Miss McKen- zie. Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Nevin have all been most sympathetic helpers toward better achieve- ments. This shows in the number of scholastic letters won by our group. Several have taken places of prominence in athletics: we know they will build on the record of this year for better success in later years. We back up these repre- sentatives one hundred per cent. This year we have added to our numbers, students having come to Sewicklev from all corners to combine into one of the linest classes ever. We have formed friendships in this group which will become stronger and stronger in the remaining years and on farther. Some members of our class are found in the Glee Club. the Girl Reserves, the Hia-Y. and the High School Orchestra and Band. Some of us have made a late connection with the Oracle, and plan a better, stronger place on its staif next year. We expect, too, that we shall all take more interest in making the most of the extracurricular affairs, so that school may give us more and more experience while we are giving service. We hope many of us will make the National Honor Societyg we must earn that honor. Home rooms may become places for the practice of all good things in the High School. In the years to come may we have a wide share in bringing honors to Sewickley High. D.

Thirty-nve THE CLASS GF' I9ll-7f 'Q' HE Class of '47 entered Sewickley High in September, 1942. It was an eager class of fifty-seven students. Since that first day eight others have joined our ranks, and three have departed. As we come to the end of this year we look back over its days with heartfelt pride. Our class has been together since kinder- garten. Many have come and gone, but We have worked on, hand in hand. When we left the elementary school we brought away with us Mr. Binney, who had been our English teacher for three years and who came to teach us Eng- lish in our first year in the high school building. At the beginning of the year, officers were elected to direct us through the eighth grade. They have done their duty well. During the year. two War Stamp and Bond Buying con- tests. were held. ln the first one, Room 102 won first place and a party, with Room 107 following in second place. Eighth Grade was proud, and so were the home-room teachers, Miss Ward and Mr. Binney. The V-Book has been an important project of the year. Such a number of us work on it that we feel it is really and truly a class project. We look proud- ly on what we have done. It has been an adventurous and exciting year for us. Now we feel that we are a part of the high school, at home in its halls and with its Thirty-six teachers. Next year we will be ready from the first day to take our place with the others. P.

Tl-IE CLASS OF I948 INCE the beginning of our Grade School career, we have been looking forward to the day when we will enter the long, wide halls of Sewickley High School. We of the Seventh Grade, fifty-hve strong, could not be called the perfect class, but we hope the High School will be proud of us in years to come. We are thankful for the many understanding teachers who have helped us on our way through Grade School, From the first day in Kindergarten to our last days in Seventh Grade we have felt that all our teachers were friends ready to do whatever we needed by way of teaching or advice. The rooms and teachers of the High School will be strange to us, but we hope to make many happy acquaintances. We know we will have numerous adventures ahead of us in high school. We fully understand that from here on, we are preparing ourselves for future positions in life. Now we take our leawfi? of good old Sewickley Grade School, hoping to become the prize Class of 1948.

The steps in this program always cause great suspense: for every one is a candi- date for nomination, and it seems a long time before we really know who has been elected. hen the job of organizing the Council illows. T 'gpurpose of the Council is to supervise all sc 'ol activities and to perform any special ' 'qthat may come up in the course of the This they do under faculty advisors- Miss Hubbell, Miss Simpson, and Mr. Williams. The war brought various opportunities for service. Mr. Williams early put in a request that the town be canvassed for scrap metal. The Council accepted the assignment and also sponsored a collection at school of additional scrap-old keys, lipstick tubes, compacts. On December 7, the Council conducted a Remember Pearl Harbor Day and sold Qs Forty 3385.00 worth of Bonds and Stamps in the school. The question of hall and assembly control was considered carefully. A plan was drawn up providing for a Traflic Squad with Cap- tains over groups to patrol each floor: and for an usher committeeigohandle dismissal after assembly and to pass out such articles as were to be distributed and to collect tickets at special assemblies. This is the first year that Student Council has undertaken this task. Locker inspection, long a part of the regu- lar work, ticket sales, and a few other odd jobs conclude the list of accomplishments. For every assignment the members were willing and able workers as has been proved time and again in the 1942-'43 sessions. The oflicers for the year were: President, Stewart Lesfal- lctte: Vice-President, Catherine Heulerg Secre- tary, Joyce Maustz Treasurer, Fred Emerick. C. L. H., '43 THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY sz . 7 19' Qjrfi ,pf nf HEREVER a chapter of the National Honor Society has been established, election to its membership is regarded as the highest honor a student may receive. So is it at Sewickley. In this act recognition is given by the faculty to students who excel in the qualities believed to Eilthe mark of the most valuable members of' any group. The records of students nominated for elec- tion are carefully studied in terms of out- standing activity and also of the normal every- day demands upon them. They must meet a test on high quality in Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service E qualities that mean the highest type of student. In the Iiduction, conducted by members of the faculty, the history and aims of the Society are reviewed that all may be reminded of the ideals of thoughtful students. To each mem- ber is presented a pin bearing the name of the Society and displaying its symbols, the key- Ri D i stone and the flaming torch, representative of strength and responsibility. Here, too, are the initials of the four basic qualities which recog- nize the respect one has for himself and the group of which he is a part: the responsibility he has for the success of the school's activities and reputation: and also the response he wins from other students. ' feb J No special activity is expected of the-gro W1 it is an honor society.

The group organized and elected officers: President, Glenn Mechlin: Vice-President, Halley Willison: Secretary, Dorothy Kauf- man: Treasurer, Nellie Shaffer. Forty-one THE ORCHESTRA 1 Q 1 W, aw-Q NDER the most enthusiastic and able leadership of our conductor, Mr. Car- roll, the orchestra has enjoyed a year of varied musical experiences. This organization has the well-earned distinction of presenting de- lightfully entertaining programs. In addition to the regular chapel programs, the orchestra has willingly contributed to whatever occasion presents itself. It made a public appearance at the Girl Scout Pageant, and also contributed to the activities of Music Week, and added to the program on the night of the play. This year the orchestra has undertaken a popular trend in its music as well as classical. Several practice periods have been spent in making recordings of unique and original ren- ditions of the popular songs which have proved very entertaining to the students. Although the orchestra will suffer greatly by graduation, we have the fullest confidence that next year our zealous and devoted leader will construct an orchestra able to continue the Forty-two A WIN, . .aww .

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are devoted to the most alive, most stirring group in the school. Every- body hears them and listens. And when that band moves out in uniform, everybody looks -the Sewickley High School Band in all its glory. The band is a truly worth-while organiza- tion and has come to be an essential part of our high school life. The members enjoy be- longing to it. and the rest enjoy what it does. Under Mr. Carroll's expressive direction every hour is pleasant: the year is a success. A fine concert showed the development accom- plished in one year. Although transportation difficulties meant that the band could not play at as many football games as was wished, it added rousing music to the home games. The band escorted the American Legion to the Honor Roll Dedication.

Y., '43 Forty-three THE GLEE CLUB E can hardly say the Glee Club because there really are three organizations to consider-the Girls Chorus, the Boys Glee Club, and the Mixed Chorus: nevertheless, The Glee Club. Miss Stewart keeps us all singing so that traditions set up in other years may be upheld and even surpassed. We like the Christmas carols sung in the halls and in the program. We enjoy adding our part to pro- grams when we may, and we feel that each gains much from the carefully directed prac- tice periods as we work for correct effects. Our singers are: Betty Hawes, Alice Kinzer, Helen Lucas, Elsie Morley, Marjory McGregor, Roberta Drew, Helen McCallister, Betty Shan- non, Susan Stickell, Jeanne Wright.

J. W., 43 At .4 W fc THE Cl-IEER AND SCNC-3 LEADERS if HE cheering squad of our Alma Mater was, in 1942-43 as always, on its toes. literally and figuratively speaking. Most of the pep meetings consisted entirely of rousing cheers and songs in fast succession. The cheer- leaders decided this year to do away with skits and all unusual programs for pep-meetings and concentrate on making our cheers heard 'way up at Joe's drug store! They did, however, try a new system. The song leaders were made cheerleaders, and the cheerleaders helped out with the songs. All in all, there were on the squad Joyce Maust, Elsie Lou Maynard. Pat Molmark, Dorothy Riston, Marjorie Dods. Anne Davis, David Rosensteel and Stanley Lourimore. Joyce Maugt was head cheer- leader and a good one, Dorothy Riston and David Rosensteel were the addit' ' to the squad WS school year, and they proveglworthy of the acclaim they received from the student body. Glenn Mechlin constructed an ingenious device for measuring the volume of yells in the auditorium. It was a large football field on plywood with an electric light representing the football sliding up the center as the cheers rolled out, and you can be sure the cheering students made many a touchdown. And once they acquired the habit of making touchdowns in the auditorium, they just couldn't seem to break the habit outside on the field. The pep and enthusiasm of the cheering section at the games worked wonders for the morale of the team. So the cheerleaders thank the students for a swell season - they agree that they couldn't have asked for more hearty support. A. G. D., '43 Forty-five I-II-Y , J ' 7 UE to wartime restriction on virtually all fronts, the jamboree could not be held at traditional Edgeworth Park. However. regular picnic food was served at the Y with all members present. Mr. Atwell wel- comed old members back, and extended wel- come to the new members. Ready to call the meeting to order at 7:30 fwhich rarely happened! were the officers-- Joe Hire, president: Halley Willison, vice- president: John Andrews, secretary-treasurer: and Glenn Mechlin. assistant secretary-treas- urer. With the loss of the Senior class mem- bers of '42, the club numbered only thirty- five. In November came a joint session with the Girl Reserves: Joe Hire. Bette Couser, and John Andrews presiding. After a song session and various games, informal dancing was held. The meetings in December were climaxed by the Christmas Dance with Glenn Mechlin as decorator in chief: Don Atwell as ticket chair- Forty-six , 'Q w man: Ed Hurd as program chairman. The publicity was carried on by Ross Rogers, Joe Hite. and Jack Doerr. With John Robertson and Jack Robinson at the console, swell song sessions were held at many meetings, John Andrews acting as song leader. For variety the sophomores and juniors each put on a play which were both well worth while and heartily received. Tradition was broken this year for the Hrst time in Club history as a nickel was charged at each meeting to help defray the,cost of stencils and paper for the Hysteria. The Rev- erend Mr. Dufford kindly put the Lutheran Church mimeograph machine at our disposal for running off the paper. Our deepest thanks and appreciation go to the advisers: Mr. Dufford, Mr. Atwell, Mr. Borger, and David Galey, who have helped to make this a worth-while year for all present. J S '44 . ., N. GIRL RESERVES hi ROM the call to order of the first meeting in the fall to the singing of the Knight Song at our last meeting in the late spring, every loyal Girl Reserve was eager to Find and Give the Best toward another successful cluib year. Each Thursday at 7:30 P. M., in the Annex, a group of smiling, happy girls met to spend a worth-while hour. Whether the girls were preparing for the Copper Car- nival or enjoying a party, there was a gay spirit among them. Ever.Dependable and Ready for Ser- vice were the two outstanding qualities of our sm51l group this year - Dependable in donating toward worthy organizations and in helping those in need by filling a Thanksgiving basket or some other good deed: Ready to Serve when asked to make bandages for the hospital and to sing Christmas carols in its halls. Every week a new and different meeting was planned. One evening two WAAC olli- cets told of life in their work. Another even- ing a Kid Party made fun for all. Then of course, the girls will not soon forget the joint meetings with the Hi-Y and with the Central Branch Girl Reserves. The Blossom Ball at Easter was a special affair. On and on one could go, to tell of the many good times had by all along with the learning of new and interesting things that help mould the real Girl Reserve. We owe more than we can ever repay to our advisors. Miss Kerr and Mrs. Baltz. Our sincerest thanks to them for their guidance and advice. The oflicers this year were: Nellie Shaffer. President: Mary McVicker, Vice-President: Catherine E. Heuler, Secretary: Martha Heuler, Treasurer: Bette Couser, Program Chairman: Virginia Ducey, Social Chairman: Irene Jack- son, Council Representative and Camp Chair- man. N. S., '43 Forty-seven 1 CENTRAL BRANCH GIRL RESERVES JI N the regular course of events. Girl Reserve meetings for the year of 1942-43 began in September very shortly after school opened. The very first meeting was marked with enthusiasm and served to pave the way for the future. We found ourselves supplied with a new adviser this year-Mrs. Dixie Bray. She is a friend to all, standing by us in every problem, ready to show the way with advice or plan of action. She had some interesting activity for each meeting. There may be a ration on materials. but we found enough for all our handiwork, and nice work we did. We had socials and parties and bowling parties-all of them real successes. On Memorial Day we urneyed to Camp Carondawanda for a three- ay visit. We had a joint meeting with the Sewickley Y Girl Reserves with a discussion of Women and the War, bringing out the many things in various nelds of work taken over by women and what we might do at our age. One topic brought up the question of whether we should stop school to help the war effort where we could. The discussion pro and con brought out a good many ideas. An- other joint meeting was held-with the Friends Club of the Community Center discussing Post-War Opportunities and Teen-Age Com- panionsbip. These talks and the sharing of each others ideas were of real advantage to all, and we hope to keep up this program fea- ture in the future. On these occasions we even have refreshments if conditions permit. Four of our members are in the graduating class. We wish them and their classmates years of success. We add three cheers for Mrs. Bray and hope that she remains our advisor next year. Our ofiicers for the year were: President, Blanche Tucker: Secretary-Treasurer, Fannie Smith: Program Chairman, Delphine Fitz- gerald: Council Representative. Maetroy Blake: Social Chairmaxwuth McDonald. F S 43 7 . ., -8, Forty-eight t f I 'F , ' ' ei in A 5 THE QRACLE .Q -4 N the Oracle columns, printed weekly in The Herald, a record is maintained of the various interests and activities of the Sewickley High School life. Here we see mirrored in a way, all the things which speak of the usual and unusual events as they occur. We read them and lind them a permanent report of the year. Activities, large and small, undertakings and achievements, are put on record. This year has found us with a scarcity of events, we think. Perhaps that is caused by the omission of so many things we have learned to count among our events-such as the Ex- change Programs, the Forensic and State Music contests. But we have looked after our news with watchful eye and hope we have done a faithful job. Under the leadership of Bette Couser, the Oracle staff changed its night of meetings. Thursday evening was appointed-and it was hard to remember, especially after Assembly. Tuesday morning became the Wline, for the it All H material went up at noon on Tuesday. It was convenient to have the week-end to pre- pare the write-ups. Eugene Brant took charge of Sports reporting though many others helped in that field. Vincent Tocci found it interest- ing to make competition. Halley Willison and James Carpenter were pinch-hitters. Stan- ley Lourimore made himself responsible for the infrequent chess items. Faithful workers were Angie Cunzola, Veronica Colucci, Mary Jane Littlecott, Mary Toia. Other reporters were Joyce Maust, Elsie Lou Maynard, Natalie Topkins and Gladys Steup. Very recently, Eleanor Rogers. Jill Robinson, and Ann Withey began an association, so next year's Oracle will have a group with some experience to carry on the gathering of the news. Again we recognize the kind courtesy of The Herald in providing the necessary space for our publicity. Forty-nine THE STAGE GUILD 'We 'ea .ai K F, for the duration, there should be a ration- ing of electricity. the Stage Guild would be out of luck. This activity nearly always begins at 3:45 and carries on into twilight, with a need for hours after dark at times. The Guild makes preparations for assemblies, pep meetings, plays, and any other activity, school or community, which necessitates a use of the stage. It is ready for service whenever needed. Football season is a 'busy time, for the guild works on all pep programs. Then the mem- bers have a rest until the Thanksgiving enter- tainment and the Christmas play. With January the business end thinks of play sets. Early in the fall the guild set to work, con- structing a pep-o-meter for pep meetings. Assembly programs were of wide variety and took extra work, but the guild was always ready and willing to lend the skillful hand. In April, the Senior Class Play, War Corres- Fifty pondent, required a new set which became an interesting task. The boys worked diligently and produced a light, cheery livingroom with a hallway at the back. In May came the Music Festival, and then came the closing-of- school programs, the last work of the year. On the whole the boys had a good year and acquired a great deal of stage knowledge. The leadership was in the hands of Glenn Mechlin who was manager last year also. Mr. Williams' help was a great asset. The Guild members: Glenn Mechlin, man- ager: Seniors-John Andrews, Frank Walker. Tom Walker, Tom Wolfe: Juniors-Jack Doerr, Edward Hurd: Sophomores-Allen Hite, Richard Kearcher: Freshmen-Lester Abercromlbie: Eighth Grade-Max Kriever, George Lyon, Miles Wilson. G. M., '43 A if. 4 WAR CORRESPONDENT HE Senior Class, true to the times, used a play with a war time theme, as its spring offering. The play was War Correspondent: the author, James Reach: the date, April 30: the setting, a typical small-town boarding house run by motherly Mrs. Ketcham Nellie Shaffer, with the help of Esther, her laconic maid-of-all-work, Dorothy Kaufman. Birdie Love, flighty bachelor girl with a love of song and excitement-Patricia Molmark, joins them in impatient waiting for Steve Cartwright, famous foreign corespondent and very breezy character--John Robinson, expected home after a year's absence abroad. Steve is late and all are disappointed, especially Judy Ketchum, his impatient sweetheart-Bette Couser, and Eddie Fields, his life time chum-John Robertson. With the appearance of Frank Stone-William McLean, and Gavin Hines-John Gormly, and his sister Larita-AAnne Davis, an ominous note creeps in: these are Nazi spies here for no good purpose. We find Steve collaborating with them. Judy, caught eavesdropping, is kid- napped, and when Steve opposes, he and she are threatened with death. But in comes the gallant Sheriff, Asa Plunkett-John Andrews, the long-suffering suitor of Mrs. Ketcham. He turns the tables according to plans already con- cocted with Steve. The curtain falls on wed- ding bells ringing for both mother and daughter. Iris Hinkley, as prompter, pulled the cast out of any tight spots, and Catherine Heuler gracefully spoke the prologue. The play is marked by excellent scenes, and the cast missed none of them. If you were unlucky enough to miss the play, see the movie-as a second best. J. G., '43 Fifty-one THE ASSEMBLIES ARIETY has marked our assembly pro- grams. though the greater number of them have been influenced by these days of war. Mr. Winne's influence made it possible for us to see the March of Time War Pictures and so we have had brought before us in com- plete review, the various steps of this great war-lest we forget. Alumni speakers brought it closer homeaGeorge Helmer of the Marines, home from Guadalcanal, Frank Hegner of ,- Medical Department, back from England Ireland, and Capt. Russell Wright of the A, Force. then in Ferry Service. Many speakers took us to far away spots now becoming familiar names. Lieutenant Adams showed many souvenirs from Australia. Mr. Stanley Osbourne carried us off to the Dutch East Indies for strange ways of living. Dr. Behran showed colorful Mexico and espe- cially, the bullfight. Many a mountain peak was pictured by Mr. Bowser. Dr. Frank Slutz, as Y.M.C.A. speaker of the year, gave us many ideas to think over of the effect of the war on our lives. Local history was brought by Charles Richardson with his own pictures of the Cen- tennial, of high school football games, and local scenes showing many of our friends upon the screen. The Joy-bell Ringers amused us with their tunes on bells, bottles, and glasses of all shifpes and sizes. The Bohemian Glass Blowers demonstrated a most unusual work and left us with beautiful specimens of their delicate art. We had the story of aluminum and its development. Of our own. we had our Thanksgiving and Christmas specials, the latter combining music of Orchestra, Glee Club, and a play, No Room in the Hotel. The Popular Song Program was again popular, and the Talent Programs showed we have real talent. We missed the Exchange Programs which have always interested us-they are gone with the war. We feel that the educational effect was the strongest influence in the programs of the year. JUNIOR PROM T was Friday. May 21. 1943. You were going to the Junior Prom honoring the Senior Class, going by bus or walking or any way possible. As you entered the gym you saw gay and festive decorations. You listened to the mellow music of Al Carroll's orchestra -a favorite for Sewickley dances. You recog- nized the many couples of good friends in the two classes. You admired the clever and unique programs designed and made by the Class girls. You had a happy, enjoy- 5 ' tcvening and left feeling that it was one 'A I e best dances ever. The success of the evening was attributed to the Dance Committee which included Jack Paton, chairman. Rheem I-Iegner. Betty Ann Dawson, Irene Jackson, Freda Emerick, Mary Ann McCullough. Jay Smith, and Jack Doerr. CHESS greater, more important game of chess has prevented the Sewickley chess enthusi- asts from having, in 1943, a regular, planned program of intra-mural and inter-scholastic meets which have been featured in the last few years. But the boys would drop in at Room 206, and so they met and battled out on checkered fields, an irregular series of friendly duels. Feuds were renewed: old contest tales were retold: new schemes were achieved. So the 1943 Chess Players pass on the spirit of well played battle and Victory. Among the constants: Arthur Barnes, Eugene Brant, John Gormly, Thomas Walker, Stanley Lourimore, James Dods, and William Mullan. A. B., '43 Fifty-two 1 . HE V Book is the newest name for the 1943 edition of the eighth grade maga- zine. The class voted, and the new title received one more vote than the Keyhole, a name which had been used for many years. We like the new name because it is appro- priate for the time. The V B-ook consists of work done in class for a unit called A Newspaper of Your Own. Beneath the cover designed by Robert Camp- bell, there are examples of types of writing such as news reports, personals, interviews. editorials, jokes, and accounts of sports events. A large section of the book, however, is given over to material of the magazine type. In these sections there are poems, stories, ind., descriptions of places in and about the Many of the stories were written as assign'- ments for the English Class: then some of the best written and most interesting ones were included in the V Book. Everyone in the class is represented by at least one contribution. The pictures of the book had to be quite small and simple in order that they could be mimeographed. Editor: William Schaffer.

May 7, with the Orchestra and Song Organi- zations combining for an evening of good W SIC. The Orchestra led off with stirring numbers and added others as the evening moved: Prelude and Western World-both by Chenette: Noc- turne, Mendelssohn: Two Guitars, Horlick. It provided a fine setting for a 'cello solo by Betty Dawson-Kashmiri Song, Finden. Two pianists showed their ability-Patricia Molmark with Maleguena, Lecuona: and David Rosensteel with Golliwog's Cake Walk, Debussy: Consolation in E, Liszt: Preludium, Mendelssohn. The Girls Chorus presented in two groups Brother James' Air, Jacobs: Trees, Rasbach: Billy Boy, Dimhill: The Little French Clock, Kountz: Come and Trip It, Handel. The Mixed Ensemble sang two Gershwin numbers -Summer Time and I Got Plenty of Nuthin'. The Glee Club had four numbers: All in an April Evening, Roberton: With the Voice of Singing, Shaw: Deep in My Heargflomberg. and Morning Now Beckons, Manney. Two male quartets were featured in The Marine Hymn and in King Jesus is a Lis'enin' and Goin' to Shout All Over God's Heaven. The excellent program concluded with all joining in the National Anthem.

The season opened with a night game at Aliquippa, Mr. McNamara making his coaching debut for the Indians. Although we were greatly out- weighed, our boys put up a stubborn iight until the final whistle. Aliquippa scored 27 points in the first three quarters, but the final period was dominated by the brilliant passing and running of Special Delivery Jones. Not discouraged by our initial defeat, we traveled to Oliver with hopes of defeating the City League champions. We had high hopes for victory when the first half, throughout which the Indians held a deciding edge, ended in a scoreless deadlock. But our hopes faded in the second half when the Bears pushed across 13 points. We were able to score only one touchdown in the few remaining minutes of the contest. West View edged us out by a 9-7 margin in a defeat that was hard to accept. Sewickley drew blood in the first five minutes of play, scoring on a pass at the climax of a 70 yard march. West View tied the score in the second period, after which the game developed into a punting duel. A safety in the fourth period decided the game in West View's favor. In the home opener, Sewickley scored her first vic- Fifty-eight tory by beating Bellevue: 18-O. The Indians had control of the situation all the way, with starring honors shared by Jones, Willison, and Paton. The Class B opener showed Se- wickley romping over Moon Township by a decisive score of 34-6. Jones was the star of the game, having a part in all five scores. Whitlock showed excellent kicking form in making four conversions. Another game was chalked up in the won column when the Red and Blue played host to Avalon. The Indians tallied early in the contest on a Jones to Parrish pass play. Then Avalon dug in and held our boys until the half. But in the third period, our warriors again tallied to make the final result: I2-0. Our play showed fine power and deception that might enable us to beat Leetsdale. Leets- dale's trick reverses soon had us guessing and Jones's injury put us further into the daze. While we were getting our bearings, the Spar- tans piled up a 19-0 lead. We finally scored in the fourth quarter, but it was too late and Leetsdale won: 25-6. We next journeyed to McDonald where we played a slow game in a sea of mud. The Indians were able to score 14 points in spite of the bad weather. Avon- worth won a closely contested game by a one- point margin as Sewickley played her final Class B game of the l942 season. Each team scored only once, but Avonworth's con- version proved to be the deciding factor. All laments over the Leetsdale game were forgotten when Sewickley defeated her tradi- tional rival, Coraopolis, by the score of 27 to 15. Lee started the fireworks early in the contest by gaining 69 yards in two plays to put the ball on the one yard line. Jones made the touchdown. Later in the same quarter, Paton scored on a pass from Jones. Not to be outdone,-Cory caught us napping and a pass netted them a score. We came back with a long drive and tallied, only to have the Gray and Blue repeat the act a few minutes later. So ended an exciting half, but the biggest thrill was yet to come. No sooner had play resumed than Jones electrified the crowd by eluding three Cory men and streaking 70 yards for a touchdown. The battle was bitterly waged with thrills and action in every quar- ter, both teams playing a clean, hard game for their Alma Maters. Credit goes to Coach McNamara, who so capably filled the vacancy left by Mr. Stroup. and his assistant, Mr. Nevin, for the line job of training and instructing the team that made the record of the season possible. tEnd7 Jack Paton - Jack is one of our best ends, noted for his excellent pass receiving and deadly tackling. A good leader and a clean sport. he will be back for one more season. lTacklel James Carpenter - Carp cap- ably filled the hole left by Colvin. He is the big boy who opened great holes in the opposi- tion's line for our backfield men to gallop through. Also a good man on the defense. fGuardJ Harold Kleindienst - Dutch is at his best on the defense, yielding to no situation. A real lighter, in there punching until the final whistle. 1Guard,J William Hedge - Bill alternated with Kleindienst at the guard post. When a place kicker was needed, he dropped back from the line for this duty. A hard fighter and a clean sport. CCenterJ Kenneth Wilson i Broad, the tallest and thinnest man on the squad. His accurate passing at the center post pulled us out of many tough spots. A cooperative and hard worker. lCenterQl Robert Turner - Mouse was shifted from the backfield this season because of our urgent need for a center. He backed up the line on the defense and was a very valu- able man in this respect. iGuardJ Joseph Ritchey - Pudgy was an immovable mass of flesh on the defense and a hard driving battering ram on the offense. Had his nose to the grindstone every minute of play. . QTacklej Walter Brannon - Walt was undoubtedly our best lineman. He opened many holes for Jones's off-tackle dashes. Op- ponents dreaded him because he was a deter- mined and deadly tackler. QEnd5 Halley Willison - Although his Hrst year on the squad, Doc's natural ability, combined with hard work, won him a first string berth. He took Parrish's passes for long gains. QBackj Gregg Jones - Special Delivery was captain and star player of the team. His tricky running kept his opponents guessing and netted us many points. His kicking and passing are also of the highest calibre. CBackj Ralph Lee - Chinky, the small- est man on the squad, but a sixty minute man in every contest. His great speed enabled him to outrun his opponents on long end sweeps. CBackJ Eugene Whitlock - Jeep's right foot places him with the best kickers Sewick- ley has had. He is a strong defensive player. often streaking in from the backiield to nail the ball carrier. lBack7 William Parrish E Bill is noted for his long, accurate passes that set the stage for many touchdowns. A hard driving back, he crashed through for many yards. He returns next year. , SUBSTITUTES William Robinson - Chippy saw plenty of action at the end and backfield positions. He will be back next year and will win a var- sity position. William Brown - Bear was a good back- field man and hard worker. Had he not been forced out of action by illness, he would have been in all games. William Gilliam -- Bill was ready and will- ing, but did not see much action because of the stellar play of the first string men. He graduates this year. Harry Farrell + Harry was ready, able and willing to go in at any time. He is a hard worker and is sure to play a lot next year. Jesse Brown + Jess was kept out of action much of the time by ineligibility. He will be back for two more years to prove his mettle. Henry Evans - Henry saw plenty of action at backlield positions. He will be back for three more year. Cornelius Jackson - Corny saw enough action to give promise of a Hne guard for next year. Three years to go. MANAGERS Acknowledgement must be made of the effi- cient service rendered by the managers, Wil- liam Padovese, Robert Higgenbotham, and Anthony Trunzo. These boys took care of the uniforms and kept the affairs of the team in good order. Fifty-nine BASKETBALL NDER the leadership of Coach H. B. Winne, the basketball squad of Sewick- ley High School enjoyed one of the most suc- cessful seasons in quite a few years. The rec- ord shows that out of sixteen games played, ten were chalked up as victories. The losses were to such Hne teams as Leetsdale, Avalon. Avonworth, and Bellevue, and it is no disgrace to lose to them. Sewickley started the season with a bang, smothering Neville under an avalanche of 61 points. The next three games were also smooth sailing victories. Such success went to our heads, and our hopes rose for that myth- ical undefeated basketball season. But we reckoned without taking into account the skill of Avalon and Leetsdale, at whose hands we suffered defeat in the next two games, The remainder of the season showed defeats scat- tered among victories. No matter what the score, the team played its best. showing a ight- ing spirit that is typical of Sewickley High School teams. Sixty High scorer for the year was center Jack Paton with a total of 269 points, a new school record that tops the old record by 70 points. Halley Willison, captain of the team, served in the forward position. The other forward position was played alternately by William Padovese and Robert Higginbotham. Guards were Harry Campney, a dead shot when he shoots. and Ralph Valenzi, who was second in scoring with 168 points to his credit, Paton, Padovese, Higginbotharn, and Campney are underclassmen and will play again next year. Substitution was furnished by Munizza. Scott, Robinson, Haley, Rucker, Carpenter. and Tocci. Of these, only Carpenter and Tocci graduate. The vacancy in the Hrst team will probably be filled by Robinson next year. With this team of experienced men on the floor-Paton, Campney, Padovese, Higgin- botham, and Robinson-the outlook for an- other successful season is extremely bright. RECORD OF SCORES Sewickley ---C 714 ,l Opponents aaa, 653 3 GIRLS' BASKETBALL N the early spring, the girls get busy work- ing up teams and team play for a season of intramural basketball. It is their one oppor- tunity for competitive sports, and great is the effort put on by the four class teams as they try for the honor of position as victor and the letters of award. The score board for this year shows that the Class of 1943, for the second year, is victor, winning Eve games out of a possible six, Dqg Kaufman and Patsy Molmark were higheagifscorers. The Sopho- mores came next, giving the Seniors stiff com- petition, winning four games out of six. The Juniors lagged a little this year, winning only three games.

Four men from last year. the first four, gradu- ated and left two for this year. Naturally. this year we were minus a backbone, rather a necessity for a successful season. Where would three necessary men come from? However. two juniors, Wharton and Pascuzzi. came to the rescue when they offered their abilities. The problem of the fifth man still remained, so the question was made: if there were others interested. Two were discovered-Hurd and Mullan, of which two, Hurd was picked for fifth man. Early in the season. Hurd dropped out because of other work, and Mullan finished out the season. The boys started out with the feeling of uncertain greenness. There were discouraging times and there were hopeful beginnings, but good or bad, the team stuck together, never giving up hope and giving the opponent .1 good battle. The main enjoyment came in playing at the various courses in the vicinity. Using Allegheny Country Club as the home course. journeys were made to Sharmopin, Highland, Sixty-two and Ambridge for good matches, but not suc- cessful for Sewickley. This year only one man will be lost, or graduated, and the experience gained by the other four will hold next year's team in good stead. All told, this year's season of golf was rather discouraging, but with the experiences gained, there should'be no complaints next year. The men of the team in order are follows: Walker, Wharton, Pfeiffer, Pascuzzi, and Mullan. The driver for the crowd was usually Pascuzzi or Mr. Williams, who generously offered their cars despite gas rationing. Last year's team said they had the worst record in Sewickley's history, but it seems that this year's has them beat. Each game turned out the same way, with Sewickley gain- ing a few points, while the opposing team carried away the honors. The record so far this year: Date Opponent Sewickley Opponent April Z7 Leetsdale ..... I 14 April 30 Avonworth --- 0 15 May 4 Ambridge ..... 2 13 May l 1 West View .... 1 14 T. W. W., '43 ' im- TENNIS HE outlook for interscholastic tennis this year is very grim. Only three high schools, including Sewickley, were interested in having a W.P.I.A.L. Tennis League, so the W.P.I.A.I.. has dropped the sport for this sea- son. Coach J. G. Williams is contacting schools in an elliott to establish a tennis league composed of schools from the immediate vicin- ity. To date, however, his call has received no response. In the event that interscholastic tennis cannot be arranged, a plan is under way to set up intra-mural competition with elimi- nation matches for the eventual determination of a school champion. An appropriate prize will be awarded to the winner. Should matches be scheduled with other schools., the following boys will represent Sewickley: Harry Campney: Harry will play in the number one position. He is a skillful player. and was runner up in a tennis tournament at Pitt last year. ' Jack Paton: With two years of experience behind him, Jack will be a valuable man in the number two position. A Donald Wilson: Don is also an experi- enced man. He was in good form last year, but was forced out of action by injuries. Robert Heinz: Bob has shown improve- ment since last year and should fit into the team well. Robert Haley: Bert is another up-and- coming player who will be a valuable asset to the team. In the past five years Sewickley's tennis teams have been section winners three times. Last year's team failed because of inexperience. This year, however, the players are all veter- ans, and it would not be surprising to find them winning top honors in any competi- tions entered. Sixty-three 'P' '- r Tl-IE GYM, .TEAM 1 . 4 .-' 1- gl 5 4 -u 1 if UE to transportation difliculties, the P.I.A.A. and the W.P.I.A.L. gym meets were consolidated this year and held on March Z7 at the Downtown Y. M. C. A. in Pitts- burgh instead of the usual procedure of hold- ing the W.P.I.A.L. meet at one of the high schools of the league and P.l.A.A. meet at Slippery Rock. In former years, in order to Qualify for the P.I.A.A. meet, a contestant had to take a fifth place in the W.P.I.A.L. contest. Because of this year's consolidation, this rule was disregarded, and candidates entered both meets at the same time. Compe- tition was stiff. but our diminutive gym team managed to win the following honors: Indian Clubs: Lourimore: W.P.I.A.L., second: P.I.A.A., third. Side Horse: Harriger: W.P.I.A.L., third: P.I.A.A., fifth. Horizontal Bar: Parrish: W.P.I.A.L., first: P.I.A.A., second. 't-- an A fifth place in the .A. contest entitles a gymnast to compete fthe state finals held at Penn State. Although three of our boys qualified for this event, all three declined the opportunity. Although the team was a hard working and Sixty-four persevering group, it failed to measure up to the records of past teams. The blame for this does not rest on the members of the squad, but rather on the fact that only Eve boys repre- sented the school this year-the smallest gym team ever to wear the Red and Blue. Because of this small group the number of events entered was few, which, in turn, limited the number of places taken. 'The boys performed admirably in all events entered, taking a good percentage of places, considering the size of the team. Parrish was at his 'best on the horizontal bar, showing excellent form. Lourimore per- formed well with the Indian Clubs and should show improvement next year. A. Hite had trouble with blisters and consequently could not do his best work on the horse. Harriger, with two years ahead of him, should develop into a champion on the horse. Mechlin was shaping up nicely on the parallel bars, but he graduates this year. flarrish, Lourimore. Harriger, and Hite will form the nucleus of the team next year. With a few additions, the chances are that a team, equal to the championship squads of the past, will be forthcoming next year. 4 1 aes, '- fi 4 At YQ N f TRACK AND FIELD -P S was the case with most other sports, the success of the 1943 track team was seri- ously hampered by a lack of both experienced men and newcomers. The team centered around four lettermen-Ralph Lee, William Robin- son, James Carpenter, and William Parrish. Lee was strictly a sprinter. Robinson doubled as sprinter and javelin thrower. Carpenter participated in the shot put and discus events, while Parrish entered in javelin and discus competition and ran as one of the relay teams. Other members were Earl Fritz, Robert Rucker, Robert Higginbotham, Douglas Coulter, and Robert Townsend. All these boys served as members of our relay teams. Meyers Higgin- botham acted as manager and took good care of the track equipment. Because of the small size of the team, Sewickley lost many meets to teams who won through points gained by second and third places, while the fewer Sewickley men carried off top honors. Had there been more trafic' candidates, Coach Nevin might have easily produced a championship team. The first meeting of the season was the W,P.I.A.L. Indoor Track Meet held at the Pitt Stadium on April 3. In the 50 yard dash, ii Lee placed third, and Robinson fifth. Car- penter took third in the shot put. Our mile relay team--Lee, Fritz, Higginbotham, and Rucker, and our sprint medley relay teami Lee, Parrish, Robinson, and Rucker, both fm- ished with third places. A week later, at the Tri-State Track Coaches Association Track Meet, also held at Pitt. our team did not fare so well. Because of Lee's illness, our relay teams were not up to par, and the only places taken were two fifths-4Carpenter in the shot put, and Robinson in the 50 yard dash. On April 25, the team traveled to Connells- ville for the annual relays held there. A relay team of Lee, Robinson, Parrish, and Rucker placed third in both the 440 and 880 yard events. Parrish, Robinson, and Carpenter composed a javelin team that took third place. Mount Lebanon held a contest on May 4 in which four schocls i' ipated. Sewickley took second place ,team composed of only four boys-Leef. 2 inson, Parrish and Carpenter. The boys took tive firsts out of six events entered. Carpenter took third place in the shot put. Robinson was winner of the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Parrish copped the discus throw and javelin throw. The four- Sixty-five SEWICKLEY TRACK AND FIELD RECORDS TRACK AND FELD some combined to form an 880 yard relay team that also took first honors. On May 7, at the Washington Invitational Track Meet, the same four boys finished fourth in a field of sixteen schools. Parrish, as usual, carried off top honors in the javelin throw and discus throw. Robinson came in second in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, with Lee taking third in the hundred. The boys again were winners of the 880 yard relay. At this writing, two track meets are still to be attended-the W.P.I.A.L Outdoor Meet at the Pitt Stadium on May 22, and the State Finals at Altoona on May 29. The results of the W.P.I.A.L. meet will probably closely parallel those of the Washington contest, since the entries will be essentially the same. There is a good chance of Bill Parrish's becoming state javelin throwing champion. since his throws usually greatly outdistance those of his opponents. The 880 yard relay team, with a little polishing, would have an excellent chance of adding its name to the list of Sewickley state champions.

IQ38 Since the future of nearly every boy in Sewickley High School is a year or two of service in the armed forces, Mr. Winne decided to toughen them up while they are still in school. He designed and constructed, with the help of the boys' gym classes, an obstacle course on the grounds near the athletic field. A trip over this course starts with hurdling a two foot fence and crawling through a sewer crock. Then a four foot fence is vaulted and another sewer crock crawled through. An eight foot wall is encountered and must be scaled. Two more sewer crocks follow. Scrambling up a fifteen foot embankment is OBSTACLE COLRSE quite a job because it is formed of loose sand and no toe holds can be found. The other side of the hill contains staggered obstacles which must be dodged at top speed. From here the course leads up one side of the track, across the field, and up the middle of the grandstand. Then one runs back down the grandstand and weaves in and out under the cable fence that lines the field. Both boys and girls navigated the course. Six times over it in one gym period is a suffi- cient workout to tire the most athletic boy. Two round trips a period is the average for the girls.

Sewickley High School has been, in the past, the starting point for many leaders in all fields of commerce, industry and finance and it is now our hope that this class will also provide such leaders now so badly needed.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN When the war caused a manpower shortage, the Sewickley Fire Department called the High School asking for boys to fill in as firemen. Fifteen names of local boys were presented, eliminations were made, and seven boys won places as smoke eaters : Halley Willison, Thomas Jerman, Joseph I-lite, Morris Merriman, Carl Reel, Ross Rogers, and John Andrews. For two and a half months every Monday and Thursday evenings these boys were trained, under the leadership of Chief J. C. Doughty, Assistant Chief E. J. Bemke, and Lieuc. William Carson, in hook-ups, ladder drill, smoke masks, and use of equipment. The boys were then admitted to the Cochran Hose Co. and proudly accepted their hard-earned membership cards.

Turn back to the movement for the Community Honor Roll. The students contributed to that. Think of Stamp and Bond Sales. We had a double contest among home rooms to encourage that action. The total amount invested in America from January ll to May 3 was 554,846.35 In the first section the award went to Room 102 with its total of Sl.038.l5: second in place Room 107 with S419.20: third, Room 112 with S260.85. In the second section the award went to Room 105 with 51,003,005 in second place Room 107 with S279.25: and in third, Room 114 with Sl76.90. A hne record. Classes were initiated in Radio Code, Pre-Flight, Basic Math with large enroll- ment. Work in Mechanical Drawing and Shop became tuned to war trends. Athletic training changed its tactics toward Commando training. Outside school hours, training continued for some-note the Seniors: Angie Cunzolo is a memlber of the Memorial Gold Cross: Beverly Bailey, Lois Williamson. Joan Smith, Tom Wolfe work two hours a week as airplane spotters: Sarah Waite, Rosa Craig, Helen Harris, Tom Wolfe passed the Advanced First Aid: Michael Lebhaft. Fred Way, William McLean.
