A new, a 'bewildered feeling invades us. We are entering a time in our lives more important than most of us realize. It is a time of decision. From our first year in Sewihi, we are asked the puazling question, What do you intend to do we try to find the For most of us, after you graduate? and answer. ninth grade is our first year in S. H. S., and we have many questions. Un- usual schedules and lockers, going to the wrong class, and faces lighting up-gym classes where we couldn't get into the rings-all in all we had fun as freshmen. We shall call our nrst year the year of adjustment. As we approac find that we have ing vacation and la our Sophomore year we ,regained consciousness dur- lare ready to get back on schedule. This yiear brings Spanish - El Espanol - and th conjugations. Cou bse first, second, and third ld we forget -those exciting Biology classes! Remember the day for dis- secting live frogs. We inserted the needle in poor little Maggie's head, thinking she was dead, but to our s still very gay and urprise she wasn't. She was began hopping around the floor, and Mr. W-gilson shouted, Catch your frog before 'he gets out into the hall. We met that f bulous character Caesar, Who loves who a d why? along with many other questions. By now we are well acquainted with the activities, teachers, and rules. Just think only two more years to go! We hope! ? Then we were Juniors, with many responsi- bilities placed on our shoulders. Girls, do you recall the typing classes with Miss Andrews- drill a, s, d, f, etc.,land the talk of sixty words a minute. The more we thought of it, the more discouraged we became. Will any of 'us forget the Junior Prom? Prom Committee a to make it a succ with many balloo The Junior Essay gest happenings or Many of us were on the d worked many long hours ss. We decorated the gym s, crepe paper, and flowers. riting was one of the Abig- the year's work - trying to decide which w uld be the easiest topic. In October our fai-th-ful librarian left us, for which we were all sorry. Lillian Wharrey presented lass Ilatsturp Mrs. Carter with a lovely watch, the gift of the whole school. We must not forget the Cory vs. Sewickley Football Game at Cory, and, I might add, as usual - raining and very cold. The score was 0 - 0. Oh, what a game! At last, -we have reached our goal: now we are proud to say that we are the Senior Class of 1948. These four years that we have spent within the walls of S. H. S. have been 'happy days, although discouragement and sorrow were with us at times. Remember P. O. D. class and those arguments? The English class where Hamlet was present-Question for discussion: Was Hamlet Mad???? Mr. Bolin's Chemistry class comes into sig-ht. Those seats! and when you begin to climb, it makes you feel as if you are nearing heaven and really d'on't have far to go. But what im- presses you most are Mr. Bolin's jokes which brighten Chemistry class to nearly the peak of fame. Then you are ready to begin on Hf'SO', mixing elements, making Mr. Bolin's favorite perfumee- Hydrogen Sulflde. breaking test tubes and dashing up street to buy new ones, practically forcing 'the whole school to wear gas masks to keep from being suffocated while we make chlorine gas. Oh, that football game, Cory vs. Sewickley. in which in the last quarter of the game, Cory scored. We might also add that fit rained cats and dogs, but did not ruin th-e spirit of the players nor the students! Do you remember those iMusic Festivals when the joyous Glee Clluibbers did their best to entertain the entire school? Then as every year, the Prom came near and talk of it was continually buzzing around, The Prom Com- mittee worked very hard, and we seniors really appreciated everything. It has been said that all good things must come to ian end: we are sorry to say that we must leave. Graduation and receiving diplomas are nice, but as we think of leaving for good, I know we all wish we had it to do over again. Remember the Bible verse which applies to our S. H. S., Keep us ever faithful in our service. We wish we may carry this always, everywhere in the ways we go from now on. S. L. S.

They were displl ying new hair creations of 1 I l l V the world famous stylers, Clara Palmer and Lois Wesselitch. The models' dresses were de- signed by Marie Rucker, of New York and Paris. June Pollinger and Helen Gusky also at- tended. They, as merchandisers for the Weaver Department Store, the largest in eastern United States, have just returned from Paris. Dorothy Williams, dress designer for a well known Paris concern, told me she had returned with them. Ruth Green and Mary Calloway, fo-reign correspondents for a leading newspaper syndi- cate, and their editor-in-chief, Alease Smith, had also just returned from Europe in time to come to my party. Sam Bruno flew in from Florida to attend the party. He is the owner of a professional football team coached by James Maruca. Carol Jackson and John Trovato, famous football Stars, have joined the team this year. Eddie Tccci and Dick Barnes, tennis stars who just returned from the Olympic Tennis matches, told of the success Regis Costello had had in recent track events. While I was talking to them, Vincenzina Lupinacci, Tessie Lucas, Margaret Morrow, Ann Folena, Jennie Falvo, and Martha Carson joined the group of athletes with their heads held high because they had just won the 'highest award given to a girls' professional basketball team. The Class of 1948 has not only contributed great men and women to the field of athletics but also has had outstanding citizens enter the field of politics. Some of these present at the party were Earl Entwistle, Ambassador to Afghanistan, with his secretary, Betty Cicco: James Park, a well known Supreme Court Judge, who declared unconstitutional a bill sponsored by Joseph Weber, the Senator from Pennsylvania, and Joe has consulted his legal advisor, Charles Lee. Dana Whittaker, who is presiding over the Pan American Confer- ence, is busy talking to Jeanne Meta, who is an outstanding figure in civil service. Charles Reiser, head of the F. B.

During the course of the evening Charles Polizotto and Lee Springer two famous Metropolitan Opera stars, were called upon to entertain us. They sang the love song from the stirring opera, Singfreak, composed by Dolores Cassidy. Their faithful agent is Shirley Sittig. About 10:00 I received a telegram from Professor Wally Walters of the University of Egypt, regretting that 'he could not attend the gathering. I also received a cablegram from the USS Kaput named for Reinhart Kaput for his success as Government Mediator, and own.- ed by the Merriman Steamship Lines. The message was from Peggy Gilbert, and she also regretted that the ship would not arrive in time to allow her to attend the banquet. Ethel Cannister arrived late in the evening. with her assistants, Helen Goray and Fay Henning, from New York, where she has been making arrangements for her Child Wel- fare Clinic. David Starr, the president of the Starr Bot- tling Company, furnished the soft drinks for the party. Promptly at 10:30, the group was royally entertained by Phil Schuette's talking dog act. A momentous event furnished the proper ending for the night's festivities. An aerogram was received from a Robinson Rocket Ship which was on its way to the moon. This great ship was piloted by 'Captain Ray Al- burger. The aerogram was sent and signed by Jean and Mary Irvin, sister hostesses on the Rocket Lines. They regretted that their journey to the moon prevented them from attending the party in my honor. Dear Diary, as I linish writing this I won- der if I will ever have occasion to meet any of my 1948 students again. I am sure they will all proceed along in their established pro- fessions.

We entered Senior igh in September, 1947, and found many ne faces among us. The school p gram opened new and varied interests to all o us. Latin and bookkeeping were a struggle f r some. Plane geometry and foreign languag s caused many an anxious moment. Our a earance on the stage for pub- lic speaking ma e many of us tremble. The subject of biolo y was an unusual experience, especially in dlssec-ting frogls and worms. Nevertheless, we refused to admit that things were too hard, a d without a doubt our classes were very intere ting. I I I I I There were many enjoyable activities which were open to the Sophomores, not new but always attractive, including glee club, band, orchestra, track, football, and basketball. In basketball, the Sophomore girls hold the championship for this year. In taking part in these activities, we feel we are showing our pride in the school. As we say goodfbye to our Sophomore year, we wish to thank our many teachers for ttheir patience and guidance. We are looking for- ward to our Junior year, but we shall never forget the good friendships formed, and feel our Sophomore year has been a success. D S '50 . .

Some f us felt new life as we put behind us the y r of introduction to life in a new school - our eighth grade days were passed. We loo ed about and saw how much larger we had ddenly grown-we needed three rooms, where two had been enough. Small wonder thrt we felt a new confidence in- ourselves. We entered Ori. new schedules in new studies with more teachirrs. It was difficult at first. but we soon be ame adjusted to them. We entered with mo determination into the activ.- ities-t'he familifr band, orchestra, glee club. and so on: but in football and basketball with the new I.P.I.A.I.. set up, we found a new importance. Junior High Athletics were especially in the hands of the freshmen. We feel that day by day we become more ready to become the some time leaders in the school. We work with those of more experience. and we learn. We owe muc'h to those who 'have been our home room teachers -in t'he lower grades as well as in the first year of regular high school. Miss Simpson, Miss McKenzie, and Mrs. With- row were all very patient and helpful to us through the months. We hope that in our future years in S. H.

We expect that we will feel more able to become active in the organizations next year. We have a new member in our class. one who has just come from Italy. Paul Cerrani. He is already popular with us as he has different experiences to share. Dan Fraser 'had the mis- foirtune of breaking his wrist when broad jumping: that ended his track standing for this year. Our class plans to repeat a pleasant event of last year in a picnic at Walker Park in Edge- worth on the last day of school. We had such a joyful time as we hope to have every year. All these events together make our class spirit. We hope to keep it high in years to come. W. F. '52 Thirty-four be lass nf 19 3 First Row: Jbspeh Spinelli. Fiore Munizza, Shirley Mcliivrigain.

HE great day has arrived ll! We, the sevent grade class, are now able to say that we have Winished grade school and are ready to work our lway through high school. For many years olur class 'has looked for- ward to the 'time when we would enter that modern building to start our five years of study. a part of the many activities. These past seven years that we have spent in grade school are packed full of memories. From the beginning on through the grades we have had many interesting experiences with our friendly classmates and helpful. patient teachers. r As we look back, recalling outstanding ex- periences which will become merely memories, these are some of the ones we will remember and cherish: In kindergarten our thoughts linger at the giant sandbox: in first grade to our own per- sonal desks. The many spelling bees and reading circles are trademarks of the second grade. Third grade produced our first real books, and we remember how we outgrew our desks in fourth grade. Fifth grade found us upstairs thrilling to the sound of the buzzer for changing classes. In sixth grade we were engaged in many activities, at the same time each trying to get the most A's on his report card. In seventh grade we have had a taste of high school life by going to the high school for classes in home economics and manual training. But now, as we graduate from the grade school, we each wish to be able to say with pride and sincerity, I have left behind me some of the happiest years of my life. A. S., M. T., D. P., J. C., J. B.

HIS year fourteen students from the senior class wereielected members of the National Honor Society.l This Society is a national organization of' many hundreds of high schools in the United rates. The members are elected by the faculty f the high school as a recog- nition of all-rollnd excellence. The standard for election is based on traits which indicate che ideals of education and, so. mark the outstanding student. The lirst of these qualities iis character which shows the standard of th student in everything he does. Second is scho rship which shows his ability to learn and use w'hat he has learned to advan- tage. Next is leadership, a quality which must be present in a' y successful person. Last, but not least, is serrfice to the school, to the com- munity, to classmates. P 1 To each member is given a pin of bright gold. a keystone in shape. displaying an ever burning torch, symbolic of strength and know.- ledge. On it are the initial letters of the essen- tial qualities. C. S. L. S. On the student is impressed the idea that in wearing this pin he must ever be mindful 'of the responsibility of maintaining the record he has attained. The induction service was held this year on March 10, in a special early morning assembly. After their names were announced, the four- teen came to the stage. The pledge of member- ship was administered by Mr. Beighlea. and the pins were given by Dr. Irons along with a warm handshake. Miss Hubbell. Miss Kerr. and Mr. Hawes in turn explained the history. the meaning, and the purpose of the society. C. R. '48 Thirty-eight I O vou really think so? I'm afraid I dis- agree. Yes,i but ....

A problem of the day is being raked ox er the coals by a few of the members. l Whether it be pro osing an idea, organizing a committee, arguing, or even directing traffic, the Student Council can be counted on to be fight in the middle! l Among this yeait's accomplishments, the Council participated Win something quite new. It sent two members,1Mary Nell Johnstone and Joseph Weber, with Miss Simpson, one of the faculty sponsors, to conference at Bradford, Pa. During their tw days' stay in the town, our delegates not orily were able to enjoy a pleasant and educational experience, but also brought back with them many ideas, helpful be btuhent uunttl suggestions, and criticisms. On September 24, 1947, the members elec- ted their ofiicers. Presidency 'honors went to James Willson: his runner-up, Sam Bruno, became Vice-President: secretarial duties went to Marilyn McCord. Unanimously, the members decided this year was just busy enough to keep them interested, and yet not so rushed as to make them dis- couraged. The Sewickley High Council Rep- resentatives of this year will be able to look into the future, confident they gave their class- mates a square deal and left to their successors a well organized, successful Student Council. The council representatives are all most grateful to Miss Hubbell, 'Miss Simpson, and Mr. Beighlea, our faculty sponsors, for making their valuable and considerate suggestions. We appreciate their patience. M. MCC. '48 l First Row: M- rilyn McCord, Robert Guy, Joseph Weber. Sam Bruno, James Willson, Charles Reiser. 'harles Johnstone, Harry Staniland, Joan Moreman.

Thirty-nine The Qssemhlp ummittee UR assemiblies are planned to meet a variety df needs and to fulnll a number of purposes. Many of them are traditional. as - the Installation of Student Council and of the National Honor Society. and programs recognizing ouftstanding achievement both in academic andlathletic areas of school life. Some programs are planned to bring us out- standing talent. The Antrim Programs. Duquesne Light on 'Magic Lighting of To- morrow , The Way of Peace , sponsored by the Council of' Church Women. all belong in this group. At times during the year we enjoy one-act plays scheduled through the office. Other assembly programs are planned and presented by the Student Assembly Commit- tee guided by Mrs, Smith. Something entire- ly new this year was a Pre-Easter series of devotional programs designed to arouse inter- est in spiritual values and to promote tolerance. The series was arranged through the local Ministerial Association and Rabbi Cievantman of Ambridge. The Clarion State Teachers' College En- semble gave us an hour of fine music with Miss Wick. a former member, sharing in the pro- gram. Miss Stewart and her musicians are al- ways a great help on the Assembly Committee plans. This year we are indebted to them for contributions to almost every program. The Art Department. too. had a share this year. contributing original drawings which were thrown upon the screen -to add a new note to our Thanksgiving program. These. along with two talent programs and a piano recital by Carl Fahrny, gave us a year of varied and interesting programs. SL'.llCLlZlDOfLHll1j' Dunn. Marianne Neely.

After the Thanksgiving vacation, the committee started to work on the Christmas Dance. Everyone wanted to decorate the gym in a way altogether different. An all-white sleigh stood in the middle of the gym, with a big Christmas tree in it, tied by an enormous ired silk ribbon. The roof was of green and' white crepe paper, and on the walls were blranches of green pine tied with huge red ribbon bows.

'48 The ummunitp Service ummtttee HE Community Service Committee has been very active and successful this year. Under Mrs. Wilsbn, home room representa- tives became respbnsible for leading students to share in important interests of our com- munity-first steps in sharing responsibility in public activitiesl The first campaign was the Red Feather Drive, probably the most suc- cessful in regard to student participation. The school topped its S75 quota: then doubled the amount to the extent of 3180. The next large drive was the March of Dimes. Although we lacked in 100 W student 'partici- paticn, we did surpass our goal. Just before Thanskgiving the Sewickley Valley Hospital sent its annual plea for d-onations. The stu- dents responded generously. The Junior American Red Cross was next in line and again we exceeded our quota. White boxes marked with red crosses received the gifts. The drive for the Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh resulted in bags heaped up and overflowing with boxes and bags on the side. Never before 'has the High School entered into those projects with such enthusiasm in giving. H. R.

WENTY-FIVE students were elated this year by winging memberships to the Na- tional Thespian Spciety, Twelve were remain- ing from last yeal s group. In the first initia- tion eleven entered: and, in the second, four- teen were elected., The National Thespian Society is an honor- ary organization only in t-he sense that the students are given! recognition for having met certain requiremenlts. Membership is not only a reward for excellent participation in various dramatic arts, plays, stage guild work, other stage work, but id also evidence of a desire to be associated with, other high school boys and girls throughout the country who are deeply interested in the same field. The motto of the Society is as follows: Act well your part: there all the honor lies, One of the big'events of this year was the nrst initiation ceremony which was held on January 29. in the auditorium. The program was preceded by a tasty spaghetti dinner, pre- pared by a committee of older members. with our director, Mr. Wilson, members of t-he faculty, and Dr. and Mrs. Irons as honored guests. During the ceremony, the new mem- bers took their oath and were presented with their membership cards. The older members of the club showed the main characteristics in Thespian history by taking the parts of Speech. Music, Dance, Dionysius. Thespis, Church. and Theatre, A similar initiation ceremony was held in April, admitting the second group of new members. The officers of the Thespian Society were elected early in the year. The President was Gordon Robinson: Vice-President. Fred Hurd: Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Gusky: and Pro- gram Chairman, Catherine Barger. H. G.

In A House Like This gave the effect of a ome. Then came a season of housecleaning, get- ting rid of the old set and build-ing racks for the new. It was 'ha d and dirty work to clean the old gallery wheri things have been accumu.- lating for some twenty years. But it was worth all the toil and trouble, and all enjoyed the bonfire which cleared up the mess. We looked at the gallery with pride. We looked forward to the hrst time we would use the new set, the gift of the Class 1115192 btage Guilh of 1947. New ways of building a set had to be learned, but we learned on Berkeley Square, the all-School play which ran for two nig-hts. The picture will give an idea of the smooth job we make when we have 'the material. The Stage Guild doe-s work-let no one tell you otherwise-some of us more than others: some, part of the time: some of us, all the time. W'hen the stage is needed for any reason, and it is really in demand, the Guild is called upon and it responds. Did y-ou ever see the members carrying in and out the stage set- tings for our Antrim entertainers? Or hand- ling furniture needed to set the stage? Who else is called at any and all 'hours to do things which generally keep the workers in the back- ground? Yes, we are there, if we are seldom seen. C. J.

Since then the club has prospered both in membership and activity. The ctlub now has seventy members, twenty-one of whom are members of the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society. The Make-up class has become the most enduring in interest of the three classes that were started. The Make-Up Club did the make-up for the two big plays: the Senior play, In A House Like This. and the all- school play, Bdrkeley Square. Some of our make-up artistsnhave been members for two and three yearsland have really become quite expert and they delight in the work. This- year thb club presented two one-act plays for the Century Club of Sewickley at the Saint Stephen's Parish House which proved quite a bit of fun, as they usuallly do. The plays that were given were Remember Your Diaphragm and The More The Merrier. The National Thespians and Senior Class members of Dramatic Club also attended a theatre party at the Syria Mosque. The Dramatic Club decided to separate it- self comple-tely from the National Thespians and elected its own oflicers. However, mem- bership in the Dramatic Club is necessary for entrance to the Thespian Club. In 1947.-1948 the officers were Gordon Robinson, President: Fred Hurd, Vice-President: Marilyn McCord, Secretary-treasurer: and Hazel Rogers, His- torian. With these officers, the faculty advisor, and the students who 'belong to the Dramatic Club, it woulld be impossible to 'have anything but an enjoyable year and a very successful club. P. P.

IGHTEENTH century costumes, Queen Anne furniture, and candles were the un- usuals for Berkeley Square. The actors and actresses needed several practices to get used to the long, full skirts and tight knee breeches. 'Entranced by the diary records of a family history, Peter Standish, Fred Hurd, a modern young man, slippevd back one hundred and sixty-one years in,London history into the character of this ancestor of the same name. He confuses, even alarins, his hosts by knowing in advance what will happen. The historic pattern changed: instead of falling in love with Kate Pettigrew. Marilyn McCord, as he should have. Peter loved Kate's younger sister Helen, Ruth McNa1lly. Tom Pettigrew, Gor- don Robinson, was Helen and Kate's schem- ing brother. Lady Anne Pettigrew, Helen Haydock, was determined to marry her chil- dren into money. Mr. Throstle, a suitor of Helen's, Joseph Weber, and the maid, Shirley Toward, added humor to the play. Major Clinton, Harry Stainiland, and Lord Stanley, Austin Hurd, reported on the American Revolution. The Duchess of Devonshire, June Pollinger, showed her influence with H. R. H., The Duke of Cumberland. Pat- rick Devine. Miss Earrymore. Mary Nell John- stone, portrayed the gossipy characteristics of the times. Marjorie Frant, Catherine Barger: the Ambassador, Raymond Allburgerc and Mrs. Barwick, Marianne Neely are of the modern scenes: Marjorie, Peter Standish's fiancee: the Ambassador, a close friend: and Mrs. Bturwick, the housekeeper. Mrs. W'il'son's aid in publicity put the whole school to work. Samples of the costumes adapted to dolls, by Peggy Gilbert and her committee, adorned store windows in Sewick- ley. The student director, Emily Beitel. re- lieved Mr. Wilson when necessary. Ruth Casey and Arthur Berthold worked hard finding the properties which were so important. The Make-Up Committee and Wardrobe Girls were indispensable. Peggy Proud, the book- holder, was on the job both nights of the play. Bert Jody managed the ticket sales in a calm and confident way which brought success both to himself and the play. E. J. B.

Tlhen Grandmother Clara Palmer, bored with inactivity yet unwilling to work in the greenhouse. was delighted with David's idea that she take i part in the current play. Richard Barnes, another son, really stands on his own feet. Among the friends were Emily Beitel, a sensitive girl with stage ambitions. who found only .in that 'house a willingness to overlook a sad family situation. She was encouraged to believe it should not stand between her and Warren Smith. whose mother, Catherine Bar- ger, complained that 'he preferred this house to his own home. The opening night was spoiled for the family by an emergency at the greenhouse an- nounced by partner Gordon Robinson. The maid Peggy Gilbert stood by through all the difficulties.

This group is made up of the Glee Club, the Girls' Ensemble, and the Boys' Octet.' The one-hundred boys and girls who are members of the Glee Club meet twice each week' in the auditorium for prac- tices with Miss Stewart. Because of the large number. the grdup divides for practice, the girls meeting every Monday and Friday, and the boys every Tuesday and Wednesday. On April l, the Girls' Ensemble and Boys' Octet traveled tog Clairton High School where they competed wiith other district high schools in the State Music League Contest. While neither group wton any honors, both did a line job, the girls placing fourth, and the boys. third. With the experience gained this year, perhaps ndxt year Sewickley may win first place. Both of these choruses sang at the Spring Music Festival. Soloists on occasion are Mary Jean Hague, l, l Peggy Gilbert, Joanne Sweeney, and Charles Polizotta. Regular accompanists for both choruses and soloists are Nancy Clarke and Carol Stroh. Of course it would be impossible to sing the praises of each and every member of the Glee Club. But certainly the splendid per- formances they put on are evidence of the many hours and the hard work that go into practices. We enjoyed the Christmas Cantata and the other assembly programs in which the chorus took part. Through much effort is put on these programs the climax of 'the music year is the spring festival. For Music Week. Miss Stewart and Mr. Carroll presented a joint program with variety in selection and with solos and group num- bers. The Junior High Chorus made a strik- ing debut this year.

There were many chances to march this year, at football and basketball games and in holiday parades, but everyone wishes there had been more opportunities. There is something about the excitement of a parade that makes one want to march and march and keep marching, heads up, style all the while. The banid concert was another great event for these groups as well as for the band itself. Thanks go to our Mr. Carroll for his wonderful help this year Whenever anything goes wrong, be it about a parade. a song, or a new marching step, Mr. Carroll makes sure everything is right again. Sometimes we wonder how he puts up with it. L. R. '50 N. L. S. '49 First Row: N rma Weber, Peggy Gilbert, Mary Jean Harris. Secondv Row: l.lune Eppley, Darlene Schurman, Jacqueline Davies.

The Oracle staff. made up of inderested student reporters, meets in a hurry, Thursday afternoons at 3:45 'in 204. There, under Miss Kerr's oversight, with Marianne Neely as student editor, topics for the week are assigned and school activities dis- cussed. It is then the duty of each to see that his topic is comialetely ready in all details. even to spelling: articles must be linished by Mon- day seventh periiod, if possible. Our reporters. however, are not idle the rest of the week, being alw-ays on the alert for good news items. Several members of the staff this year had special columns on which they had a sort of monopoly: Jurne 'Pollinger wrote the Student of the Week. Near the end of the year Peggy Gilbert took over writing the column entitled Odds and Ends. Poems were handed in by Vera Vish. Sports claimed several reporters including James Park, Charles Reiser. and Dick Barnes. Hi-Y was written -by Bob Guy. Dick Barnes also kept his eye on Chess. The Cal- endar of the month was added. The Oracle is an important part of school life. It n-ot only makes a definite record of all the things going on around Sewihi, but also gives recognition where recognition is due. and publicizes plays. concerts. and other activities. Although most of the articles are of a serious vein, the Oracle has its fun, too. It portrays life as it is at Sewihi to the townspeople of Sewickley. Then. too, it gives an opening for early practice for those interested in journalism. Our sincere thanks goes to the Herald for giving us space each week 'for the Oracle and to everyone who in any way helped make it possible for us to continue it from week to week. M. N.

LL the culture of the ages-at least a large part of it-from the measured rhythm of Virgils Aleneid to the sprightly talks on current events, is ours through our College Group. Any underclassman who cihanced by 105 on Wednesday afternoon could see the deep expressions of interest on the seniors' faces as Mr. Hawes related fascinating -stories of Galileo and his falling bodies, or Sir Isaac Newton's rainbow, or perhaps a tale about our own Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. One afternoon was spent, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, in a discussion concerning the relationshlp between student and school. An enormous chart, prepared by Mrs. Smith and her committee was used to illustrate the aims of education, more specifically the aims of Sewickley Schools, and the ways in which the school strives to achiieve 'these aims. After de- liberate and careful consideration of the subject, the group filled out a questionnaire concerning which subjects were considered necessary or unnecessary, and why and in what way, if any. the school fell down in its endeavors, Of the many memorable experiences of this year one stands out: that was the trip to Dravo shipyards to see the Delta Oueen. With its captain, Sewickley's own Captain Fred Way, Jr., as guide, we toured the ship from stem to stern. Even the galley and pilot room were included. Another afternoon was spent listening to recordings of Bach by Albert Schweitzer. Afterwards, Joe Weber related the story of Mr. Schweitzer's fascinating life which proved interesting to everyone. Throughout the year. we spent Wednesday afternoons talking, arguing, and gaining new knowledge. With Mr. Hawes' helpful pointers fresh in our minds, many of us will go on to college. We cannot retain all the helpful hints gathered through these weekly meetings, but every member will agree that there are many things we will never forget. R. C.

Lebanon in the W.P.S.C.L., the Chess team again had! a line record and is looking forward to better 'things next year. With only two experienced players remaining from for- mer years, little hope was held for an out- standing season., The final totals of 30 wins, 3 draws, and i7 losses are a fine tribute to the instruction of Mr. Hawes and to the en- thusiasm and ability of Eryth Rea, Art Lilly. William Thein,. and Virgil Waite. None of these team melnibers had previously played in league competition. Dick Barnes and Bob Swan were th old-timers. Victories were scored over Ailegheny, South, Perry. and Brentwood. Mt.lLebanon, with another strong team, twice took the measure of the Indians, each time by a score of 3-2. The Chess Club organized in the fall with James Park, prelsidentz Eryth Rea, vice-presi- dent: and Art Ililly, secretary-treasurer. Eryth Rea was representative to the W.P.S.C.L. and was elected treasurer of that organization. The club decided to replace the old point system by a Ladder Tfournament, and the team was selected from the top ten on the ladder. Dick Barnes was elected captain. Individual scoring 'leader for Sewickley was Lilly with 7 wins and 3 losses. Other records were: Swan. 4 wins and l loss: Barnes, 6 wins and 2 losses: Thein, 4 wins, 2 ties, and l loss: Rea. 5 wins and 5 losses: and Waite. 4 wins, l tie. and 5 losses. The last activity of the year was the annual Spring Championship Tournamen-t. Since Milton Hammond, last year's champion, has graduated, a new champion will be crowned. The Chess Club is looking forward to the coming year. confident that the Sewihi Chess Team will again give a fine showing. With an enthusiastic experienced team, per-ha-ps the coveted championship will again return to Sewiclcley High Sctho-ol. R. B.

The last of April brought a conference to Sewickley where one hundred guests were en- tertained in various homes. The year ended with a banquet for the other clubs in the district and our own picnic. We are very appreciative of t-he efforts of John McCaslin, Ray Shaffer, and all the others who directed us this year. We hope they have enjoyed working with us as much as we have with them. joyed the Last Gasp Saloon. G. R.'48 First Row: ordon Robinson, Robert Asancait, Raymond Alburger, Arthur Berthold.

Membership was greatly reduced as the ninth grade girls now helong to the Junior Tri-Hi-Y, after several years of membership in the older group. Our program for the year has been quite varied. Somelof the high spots were talks by Mr. Robert 'Iiraugh on Tri-Hi-Y Activities, and the Rev. Mr. Eshenaur on Prayer. Mr. George Campbell showed us why he is famous as a song leader, and a hush fell over the room as he talked on Hi.-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Purposes. Social affairs started with an October wiener roast. We were left with fond memories of a roaring camp fire and good food. Later a swimming party was planned. For the Thanks- giving Dance lthe Y building took on the atmosphere of the roaring fifties with wagon wheels, swinging doors, and general inform- alitv. The Cbmmunity Centre Y-Teens in- vited us for an interesting, enjoyable Chinese Tea, and we expect to have a joint meeting in May. Delegates from senior and junior clubs attended a Rally in Rochester High Sch-ool with speeches, reports, and a social hour for the three hundred students present.

They selected asia nickname Ye Twenty- Twenties, whiclsi means, as in eye strength, good or excellentl and then set the goal of meeting the standard so set up. In the under- taking Mrs. Cherry was advisor. We sponsored several very successful social events. The firstl event was the Chinese Tea. Members dressedl in Chinese costume, and everything possible was done in Chinese fash- ion. Mr. and Mrs. Frfank Aye were guest speakers, and theiinstallation of officers took place at this tea.l A farewell dance for the seniors is the lvas-t ievent on the calendar. The meetings iwere greatly helped by the visits of Mises Brlown, T3een's Director from Pittsburgh. Plan for swimming at the Centre Avenue Y.W.C. . and camping with other Y.-Teen Groups were made. Loretta Rucker was chosen to rlepresent the Club and the Centre Avenue Y lat the Bethany College Con- ference this summer at Bethany. West Virginia. Along with our fun we did our bit to help others. Representatives attended and helped plan the Y-Teen Friendship Frolic which was held in the Stephen Foster Memorial by clubs from all over the country. Our advisor and members attended and took part in the Hang- ing of the Green at the Centre Y. Band- ages were folded for the hospital at several. of our meetings. We sponsored the fish pond in the Community Centre Festival. We were represented in several 'Council meetings and Conferences. One of our members was on the Y-Teen City-wide Council. Many are leaving, but the hope is that -those who are left along with ambitious new mem- bers will carry on and make the club helpful and so. more successful in promoting com- munity interest.

I Under the spolnsorship of the Y. M. C. A. Hi-Y, the Community 'Center boys formed an organization this year. At the candlelight installation services at the Y. M. C. A., these young men tooklvows to use clean speech, to have and acqtjire good habits, and to p-lay fair and square all sports and activities. A feeling general y felt by Hi-Y members is that by belonging to such a worth-while club we somehow refeive more self-respect, the ideals of the pled e being what they are. Although we age just beginning to organize, under the cariable leadership of Mr. Edward Lewis, ive were helped to become acquainted with ways of the Hi-Y by invita- tions to participate in a few of the Hi-Y functions. Last December our club sen-t two l representatives. David Starr and Howard Rainer, to the joint conference at Indiana, Pennsylvania. Last March Carol Jackson and Frederick Wallace represented our Club at the Hi-Y Banquet in Coraopolis. Representa- tives from Coraopolis, Moon Township, and 'Sewickley were present. Next year. and for as long as we exist as a united body, meeting regularly and gaining ideas through the conferences, we are sure we will make advantageous headway for our own interests and bettering the community also. Our ofiicers for the past year were as fol- lows: President, Malcolm Brown: Vice-Presi- dent, Roger Snead: Secretary, Frederick Wal- lace: and Treasurer, Howard' Rainer. The other members of our club all, at one time or another, took a role in club prog-rams where each gets a chance to show what the club can do for him. F. W. '49 Fifty-eight J he Earsity ?Lette1fman's Iuh USY days mark the history of the 1947- '48 Letterma 's Club, busy on its one big project of raising oney for a special award for seniors who havie won their second Varsity S in a sport. 1 Never before were so many ways to raise money thought of s the club found this year. All members joined in the selling of T-shirts, red and blue automlatic pencils, school stickers and caps, and special editions of the Sun Tele- graph featuring thi teams and their season's records just befor! they met in contest: Sewickley and Moo , and Sewickley and Cory. The always stirr ng Seniors vs, Underclass- men football game'added more funds to the treasury. A baslietball game between a Y.M.C.A. team and the Ohio Valley Coaches was arranged as alibenefit, and the treasury began to look goo! . Then the boys turned to a social event and made arrangementsi for a crowd to hold a Skating Party at ruga's Roller Palace. A big ticket selling ca paign netted a large crowd, and many people s ffering from bruises. The last move ini the fund raising campaign t,,, was a bake sale held at Miller's Meat Market. The success of this move was due to the mothers of the club and their cakes, pies, cookies, and other goodies, and, of course. the purchasers. There is nio question about energetic mem- bers, a successful undertaking, many argumen- tative mcetings, and emcient officers, Those in charge of affairs were President, James Park: Vice-President, Sam Brunog and Treasurer, Roger Snead. Finally came the great day. On April 15, in an Award Assembly, Coach McNamara called boys to the stage and handed to them the coveted prize. Tihis year the eligible mem- bers chose red jackets, trimmed with bands of blue. with Sewickley on the back and their name or nicknames above the pocket. Those who received the award were Arthur Berthold, Carol Jackson, Regis Costello, Sam Bruno, Richard Righter, James Park, Charles Lee, Charles Reiser, Joe Villella, James Willson, John Trovato, Charles Johnstone, Warren Smith. and William Schwartz.

Fifty-nine biheligbts CHRISITMAS DANCE ERRY Christmas to all F!! And indeed it 'was a merry Xmas when we assembled in the gym for ibne of the most successful Christmas dances Sewickley High has held. Carl Fahrny an' his orchestra provided the sweet music for th one hundred couples. One of their specialty humbers was Jingle Bells with the orchestra Txvea-ring red crepe paper hats. The programs -this year, thanks to Helen Shadduck and rs. Withrow, were quite original-the outl ne of Santa's face, complete with a white cottoh beard. Then Santa's head opened to sho the numbers of the dances printed in 'white i . The feeling -of 'holiday festivity was in all hearts as the dancb progressed only to be in- creased by the sudden appearance of snow as we left Sewihi. iThis was indeed an added thrill to the wonderful evening. For this enjoyable occasion, we may thank the Social Committee under the direction of Charles Johnstone with Mrs. Withrow and Miss Gerhard as fhculty sponsors. The other hard working menrbers of the committee were: Dorothy Wilson, Dick Blosser, Betty Allen, Luchia Rainelli, Jack Miller, Fritz Hurd, Mary Jean Harris, Virginia Braxto, Marilyn McCord, David Hawbaker,iRoger Snead, and Barbara Hicks. I , C. J. '48 BERKELEY SQUARE PARTY N March ll. 1948, in the Sewihi gym, a party was given in honor of the people in any way connected with the stage production of Berkeley Squ're. Refreshments. chnsisting of ice cream, coke and fancy cookiesl baked for the occasion by students of Miss Stewart's cooking class, were served by members of the social committee. The cast was congratulated on a splendid performance, andl autographs for program souvenirs were much in demand. Thanks were extended to' the Stage Guild, Make-up Club, Concession Workers, Publicity, Proper- ties, Ushers, Cast,iand Faculty, and all others who in any way helped make the production a huge success.

The program of the event commenced 'with the Memorial Day program in the auditorium, presented by the Junior High Chorus and members of the underclasses. After school, refreshments were served by Junior girls and a good time together was enjoyed. The committee feels that Mrs. Smith. Miss Emily Stewart, Miss Rhea Stewart were very helpful. Appreciation also goes to Miss Hubbell and Miss Simpson, the girls who served, and those who helped prepare. The chairman for the event was Mary Nell lohn- stone. M. N. J. '49 THE FOOTBALL BANQUET' IFTY Sewickley gridders, fathers, faculty, and board members were happy to be among the five hundred who gathered at the Colonial for the Oihio Valley Conference's annual banquet sponsored fby the North Boroughs' Rotary Club. All member schools were well represented-Leetsdale, West View, Avonworth, Bellevue, Avalon, and the Con- ference Champion, Sewickley. Each coach was called upon 'to speak, Mr. McNamara being the last on the list. The trophy was then presented to him-a beauti- ful addition to the trophy case. Mr. Robert Waddell, former Carnegie Tech coach, was the main speaker of the evening wi-th an exceptionally fine talk on the value of football playing. A magician and a movie added to the entertainment. All this topped off a fine turkey dinner. The two outstanding players on each team selected by their own teammates were awarded miniature gold footballs with 'O.V.C. and the year in raised letters. Fullback Jim Willson and center John Trovato were the Sewickley representatives. It was a great success in bringing together socially those who are more often found in contests. May there be many more-and may Sewickley continue to win the trophy. TlHE TAMINWS OF THE SHREW N April Miss Wisner planned another Shakespearean expedition for us.

The two plays presented this year by the ,lunior boys were: The Modern and Medieval Ballad of Mary Jane, a shadow play: and Swimmin' Pools, 'a romantic comedy. The cast for the shadow play included: Paul Besterman. Charles Dods, Roy Cress. Ray- mond Lee, while the narrator was Barbara Hicks. This play, acted in pantomime behind a curtain told the course of true love. lt was a different and delightful bit of melodrama. Swimmin' Pools, took place around a camp fire. lt told how love caused a tramp to give up his slovenly life and companions. The cast included: Anthony Maruca, Ralph Blosser, Roger Snead, Robert Schneider, and Harry Staniland. The trampisih ways of the boys provided many laughs. C. P. '50 JUNIOR PROM N the evening of May 21, the dancing feet of Sewihi's boys and girls had a merry whirl at the annual spring event-the Junior- Senior Prom. To start the evening off brightly Alister Soutar of the Junior Class led the Grand March, the end of which turned into the dancing session. Dreamy music was pro.- vided by the nine piece orchestra of Jay Curran. The vocalists added an unusual but pleasant flavor to the evening. And so on and on the couples danced till midnight hour, when they regretfully yet cheerfully left Sewihi-Regret- ful 'because they knew the Prom was over for another year, and cheerful because they knew the evening was still young. The committee wishes to thank the facultv sponsor, Miss Hubbell, and the boys and girls who made it possible forthe Class of '49 to be proud of the Prom they held for their Senior friends. Working hard under co-chairman Harry Staniland and Mary Nell Johnstone were Grace Witzleb, Virginia Braxto, Fred Wallace, Helen Rice, Roger Snead, Mary Jean Harris, Roy Wharton, Barbara Hicks, Betsy Lee, and Clor- inda Floro. l 4 1 fini' 1 l!li'1-inf!

EWICKLEY High School has experienced its most successful football season in many a day. Led by a host of lettermen. the Indian Team swept the Ohio Valley Conference title in its nrst year as a member. The Indians were undefeated in Class B competition with only a scoreless tie blocking their way to the championship. Mr. McNamara, for his second consecutive season. turned out a fine, clean, well-trained team losing only one Class B contest in two years. Earl Hogue. assistant coach. again was invaluable to Sewickley's cause. Hopewell entertained Sewickley in the opener on September 6, l947. at the Aliquip- pa Stadium. Although Sewickley outplayed the scrappy opponents. the game ended in a scoreless tie. automatically eliminating us from the Class B title. In the first conference game at Avonworth, Sewickley completely outplayed the opponents, but could score only once, when Rucker smashed over from the 10. Villella's conversion failed. but Sewick- ley won 6 to 0. The fo-llowing week Sewick- ley met and vanquished its arch-rivals from Leetsdale IZ to 7. Although Leetsdale scored first. the Indians came right back and tallied on a reverse pass from Wharton to Willson. Then late in the third quarter. Villella scored from the Z5 on an end-around lateral, as the Indians downed their rivals to win the third straight year. IZ to 7. Renewing its rivalry with Moon Township, Sewickley copped a hotly contested battle at Moon. The Braves played marvelous defen- sive ball in this game and an expertly executed lateral from Willson to Bruno to Halfback Jackson. set up iSewickley's line tally with Willson scoring from the two. Moving back to Conference play: the In- dians downed a strong Avalon team at Ava- lon 6 to 0. After swaying back and forth. the game was iced when Masterani crashed over from the one. Sixty-four Sewickley dedicated its new field by swamp- ing the undefeated Freedom team 19 to 0. The Indians gave the home fans a real treat by opening up with everything. A beautiful pass from Rucker to Soutar started our touch- down parade. Wills n and Jackson added two more. and Bruno pl ce-kicked the nineteenth point. The final ag in was 19 to 0. West View was our first cl ss A competition, and a 6 to 6 tie was the lresult. The Indians cinched the Conference Cham- pionship by trouncin Bellevue 13-6. Tallies by Willson and I'Salfback Jackson gave Sewickley the margin of victory.

Sporting a Hne record of foul' wins and one loss, the little Indians proved that in a few short years, they will make Sewickley's bid for another Con- ference championship. The Junior Indians opened with a victory over Avonworth. Although Sewickley scored four times. odly one touchdown was counted. Passes from Raso to Winters highlighted the game. Bruno plunged over for Sewickley's only touchdown. Sewickley's next game at Neville matched the Junior Indians against NeviIle's second team. Raso's long run in the last quarte-r finally gave Sewickley its second victory. Sewick1ley's only loss was a tough one at the hands of Avalon. The Indians immedi- ately bounced back by trouncing Bellevue. Joe Burckarts's eighty-yard spint was the main event of the dizy. and Raso also starred in this game, Scwickley's final victory was an easy job over West View. This year's team had a combination of speed, power, and deception. Tony Raso paced the team with his line passing and rugged defensive work. Albert Bruno, Sam's brother, will probably replace Sam as team kicker next year. Don Merriman and Raymond Lee will be a very handy pair of ends next year. This is the nrst time in history that Sewickley has had a Junior Varsity with a regular schedule. The experiment was quite a success. Mr. Schmucker relieved Coach McNamara in mid.-season as head coach, and Mr. Hogue collaborated with Mr. Schmucker to turn out this fine team. Gaining this valuable exper- ience will help these gridders next year. The season's record: Sewickley Avonworth Sewickley Neville -V Sewickley Avalon .-.

Having lost most of the squad with last yelars's class. only four were left to start out the season. With a winning team, a new field, inight games, and huge crowds. more cheerlealders were needed. Try- outs got underway iminediately, the experienced cheerleaders teaching tlhe hopefuls, and in mid- October, a faculty cornmittee choose t-he new members. 1 Novel pep meetings were a highlight of the year, particularly The Spirit of Sewihi. This was a short skit in vwhich the dying Spirit of Sewihi was finally rdused by the loud cheers of the students and thie pleading of a football player. l Tiring of the old cheers, the students asked for new ones and grit them. All were well liked, but enthusiasm hit its peak with the favorite Two Bits. Knew song was introduced too -Stollie Boompa, which brought the entire The beerleahers This year's Cory snakewalk and bonfire were bigger and better than ever, with very few residents of Sewickley missing the noise. And that rainy Cory game when everyone, players. cheerleaders, and bystanders, got soaked to the skin, but nevertheless stayed to cheer our team! Then in the last game of the season, Seniors played tand beatllll the Underclassmen. The Senior and Underclass cheerleaders also vied each other, making up new cheers to fit the game. Basketball season was not quite as successful as football season, but just as loud. The squad was divided into two parts, Junior High Squad, which cheered at Junior High and Reserve Games, and Senior High, cheering at Varsity games. And who could ever forget our favorite mascot, Bottomry, who saw us through the season.

The Hrst bad break cakne after the Hopewell victory when Alister,Soutar, a star performer, came down with pneumonia which eliminated him for the remainder of the season. This was followed by q knee injury to Charles Knox, a star substitute. To climax this, Coach Mc- Namara missed five league games when he was very seriously ill. Assistant Coach Earl Hogue took over. Not to bq discouraged. the Indians won an easy victory over Neville at home. Hope- well handed lSewickley its first defeat in a hard fought battle at Hopewell, but the In- dians bounced back by trouncing their rivals from Coraopolis. In an exhibition game durir.g tihe Christmas vacation, the Indians swamped Robinson Township 50-22. Robinson was runner-up for the Class B championship. Sewickley opened Section XII's competition at Avonworth. Although Sewickley led in total baskets, Avonworrh finally won on fouls. Playing the first home league game, the In- dians beat Zelienople by a decisive 44-22. The following week at Evans City saw the Braves lose a sizeable lead in the waning minutes to be edged out by the Section champs. An off night enabled Bellevue to edge out Sewickley on the latter's floor. A somewhat discouraged Indian tribe then lost to Avalon and Leetsdale respectively. The Indians played the Leetsdale game without the invaluable assistance of Coach McNamara. Before beginning the second half, the In- dians again swamped Neville.

HIS yeari as last, Coach Earl Hogue applied his time as coach of the Junior High Basketball team. The boys looked fine in practice and showed plenty of spirit, but the odds seemed stacked against them most of the time. The Junior Indians got off to a slow start by losing the first four prelimin- ary games, before nne team co-operation led to an easy 40-16 victory over Neville Island. In the first sectional contest the Junior Braves lost to Avalon but immediately bounced back to beat West View and Leetsdale in suc- cession. The beetsdale game was a hard fought bit of rivalry,l and the Junior High emerged a 24-23 victor. A series of losses then fol- lowed - losses to Ross Township, Avon- worth. and Bellevue were linally climaxed by a victory over Neville. a non-sectional tilt. The following week the Junior Indians lost a one point division to Avalon 16-15. Se- wickley's final victory came at the expense of West View 28-23. With new conndence, the boys wanted badly to defeat Leetsdale but wound up on the short end of a 29-28 score. The Braves Hnished the season by losing the Seventy I last three contests to Ross Township. Avon- worth. and Bellevue respectively. The record for the season stood 5 wins against I3 losses. Consoflariton comes partly with the feeling that all experience is worth while. Let them look to the future. Bud Devine took the individual scoring honor for the season with 95 points. Bill Knox was close behind with 93. Both boys are guards. Many of these cagers have hopes of playing Reserve ball next year. The Junior Higlh tried its best but missed many points available to practiced shooting. More exper- ience will help that. The centers on Coach Hogue's team were Albert Bruno and Jim Winters. Three small but fast boys, Heywood Ballard. John De Rosa, and John Smith, also held down the guard positions. The three forwards, all fine shots, were Albert Wharton. William McIl- vain. and Albin Koch. The manager for the year was Richard Dods. R. D. '52 Zllibe Girls' Basketball Uleams OUBLE bounce-opposite out!

Seventy-one U 1 I bastion bampiuns FTER a lapse of six years Sewickley once more entered a team in The W. P. I. A. L. Tennis League. Under Mr. Wilson's leader- ship, the Indians won the section champion- ship and entered the play-oif with a perfect record. The play-off was set too late in the season to present the final record. The season opened in a shortened match with Avonworih--a test game. Sewickley won the one contestl in singles. and both teams in doubles came through with victory-a good beginning. Thle opening league match was forfeited by Ambridge, so the first league action was also with Avoniworth, May 10. at Sewickley. The team. in top condfition. swept the match 5-0. The return anatch was also -played at Se- wickley because of courts in bad condition. Sewickley won two out of three singles and the two doublles. Ambridge again forfeited, giving Scwicklqy its fourth section champion,- ship in the last: six years of competition. About twenty candidates turned out for Mr. Wilson's early indoor practices. This number was gradually cut down, and the fol- lowing team was selected: Dick Barnes-Dick showed great improve- ment over last year and alternated with Haw- bake-r in the number one position. Dave Hawlbaker-Dave won many games with his steady dependable play. Combined with Barnes in doubles. Carl Faihrny-Playing a fine brand of ten- nis. Carl proved to be a valuable man at the number two position. Don Beck-With two more years to play Don should really go places. Regular number three man this year. Jim Park and Ed Tocci-A close working aggressive doubles team. Ed and Jim played exceptionally well in this, their flrst year, and were very hard to beat. With five of this team graduating, a prac- tically new group will -take the courts next year. There is, however. a large number of younger players from which to choose, and next year's prospects look very bright. R. B. '48 lironl Row: Bert Jody, Gordon Robinson, James Willson.

Bad luck dogged Mr. Beighlea's boxs all through the season. Nevertheless, they kept Sewi-hi in the golfing teams of Section Ilt W. P. I. A. L. The season opened with a contest with Moon Township, when the Indians lost their first match by the lscore of SM to 6KZ. Tlhe teams played well that day, but the breaks were contrary: solthe defeat didn't dampen their spirits-it wals classified as early season jitters. ' Next came the Ambridge game at Sewick- ley-o-o-oh too bad: The score was 10-5 for Ambridge. Rloger Wharton and Harry Sanders had an 8 and 87 respectively, but the other scores w nt up like a balloon and the records stood all 0 and 2. After Ambridge. West View came to Sewickley, and the roof fell in. Wharton icked up a half point and Soutar a point, 'an N that is all. Sanders, Smith, and Berthold kept 'each other company in the minus section. THe score was 13M to IMI. Victory was chalked up at last when the Indians met Avonworth. Sanders continually got into the rough but played his recovery shots like an expert and picked up three points. Berthold won a -half point and Soutar came through with Zh. The tie score of Wharton and Sirianni also tied the game at 7M to 7M . They then played out the l9th hole. Wharton came through with the pressure on, and Sewihi had won. With things looking brighter, the team traveled to Ambridge where alt-hough Wharton and Sanders shot excellent golf, the score of 8M to 6M found Sewihi on the short end. Our golf fortune had ebbed to the last place in Section ratings. In the next contest. 'with Moon, the score was 12-3 the credits belonging to Soutar and Sanders. On May ll, we met title bound West View. and they w-on I5-0, the low score being 78. Roger Wharton and Harry Sanders were sent to the PIAA Qualifying tournament on May 10. They each made a score of 94, not low enough for the Penn State Elimination Meet. G. M. '49 Seventy-three The Track? Zlleam . x Iiirst Roiv: Raymond Alburger. Michael Macaluso, Roy Vilharton.

Most of the individual stars were missing. as werelthe members of the top notch relay teams. This year's team, then, had a heavy duty on -its shoulders, that of contin- uing the winning ways of the great teams of the last three sdasons. Meets were scheduled with Class A schools: Coraopolis. Rochester, Shaler. Brentwood, and Ambridge. In the first meet of the young season we easily defeated Cory to the tune of 49 to 28. Next. Rochester High journeyed to our town, and was beaten 57'Q to 23lQ. Then riding on a pair of victories. our boys found all was not so easy. Shaler gave us our Hrst loss in dual competition in three years. 48 to 38 was the score. Then came a second loss at the hands of powerful Brentwood, 57 to 34. After Brentwood we traveled to Am- bridge for a triangular meet. Although we did fairly well in this meet, we couldn't cope with Ambridge's three and four deep strength. and we had to be content with a scond place: Coraopolis was third. Then it was all practice for a week in prep- aration for the Class B district meet to be held at Mt. Lebanon, which incidentally was the scene of Sewickley's first track champion- ship. In this contest Sewickley won a fifth place. Individual winners for Sewickley were: Regis Costello, second in 880: Raymond Lee, ' Seventy-four I I third in 880 and a tie for lifth in 440: Joe Burckart, lifth in 100 yd. dash and fourth in 220 yd. dash: Canol Jackson, Hfth in broad jump.

It had a line start, for over fifty girls had their signatures on the membership list. Miss Howiland again volunteered her services as supervisor. The Senior play poprfd up taking the two leaders. Pegg-y Gilbert and Peggy Proud, and a num er of others. Again. the Squad got underway with new leaders, Jean and Mary Irvin. A great deal of bad weather at this time led the girls to do most of their marching in the gym after school. The girls caught on fast to movements made to music, for they seemed attracted to this novel idea. Finally the Pep Squad was ready to show its colors, and was well repre- sented at every home game. Ar quite ia few out-of-town games also, the Blue skirts and White sweaters of the Squad were seen. P. F. G.

After an abundant dinner at which the cry was All you can eat! . the principals and coaches of the teams were asked to say a few words. Mr. Beighlea and Mr. Bolin, subbing for Coach McNamara who was attending a football clinic in Cleveland, carried on for Sewickley. Each player intro- duced himself and was presented with a handsome pen knife. Further enter- tainment was furnished by three South Hills boys who are tops as comics.

That Whether it is nobler in the end A chance and rush and perhaps A first down, or to play it safe To rush-only to fail! Aye, there's the rub: For in that last down rush, what ills may come When we have failed and given the ball away Must give us serious pause. There's the thought That brings gray hair to a quarterback's noggin. For who would bear the dull humility Of being removed by the coach from the game. When by some care he might bring glory to his name And victory to the school. , is the question. to take make and kick: J. M.
