Its auditorium now ranks among the finest in this part of the country. For a town as small as ours we should be proud of our school. , Over fifty years ago the ringing of the school bell called the eager pupils to begin their lessons in the small one-room school- house on Coleraine Street, opposite the site of our present high school. Later this building was bought and used as the M. E. Hall. Then a new school was constructed across the street from the Methodist Church. For many years this was Sligo's only school. As the school attendance increased several additions were built to accommodate the students. In 1911 the last addition was made. In 1927 the present Sligo High School was erected. This building consists of eight rooms, three of which are used by the grades. Before 1936 the Skating Rink served as the school gym- nasium and recreation hall. Then the Logue Memorial Auditor- ium was built. On February 8, 1937, the Auditorium was dedicated by Dr. Lee L. Driver. The number of teachers first employed in the high school was one, the principal. At present there are seven high school teachers and live grade teachers. 1 A few of the many principals of the Sligo High School are: john Myers, now a prominent attorney in Clarion, James Hughes, Superintendent of Schools in Fayette Countyg R. B. Burnham, john Rutherford, J. L. Chick, and Hugh West. H. A. Hartman is our present principal. In the first few years of the high schoolla course of only two years was offered. In 1915 another year was added and 'ten years later in 1925 a four-year course was adopted. The first graduating class, that of 1896, consisted of three persons, James J. Neil, Maude Coleman, and Ira Hodil. In 1899, 1915, and 1926 there were no graduating classes. The class of 1907 had but one graduate, Mabel Silves. The graduating classes have increased very considerably during 'the years, the largest number -of graduates in one year being thirty-tive. ' In 1906 dark blue and white were selected as our school colors. During the past few years they have been changed to royal blue and white. We shall let the past rest and look to the future. We all join in wishing to the Sligo High School ever increasing success in years to come. , 11 ,, 11, :H ' 2' 13 52 iw. ' -si, ii! .Q wg, 14, 323,- ag.

X AW: if H95 'i fX THE SLIGO HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Six teachers make up the faculty of the Sligo High School, of which two are women and four are men. Mr. Hartman, our prin- cipal, may be considered the seventh, since he teaches two subjects. Mr. Hartman came from McDonald, Pennsylvania. After at- tending Vlfestminster College and the University of Pittsburgh, he began his teaching career. In 1925 he came to Sligo as assistant principal, becoming principal the following term, a position he has held for twelve years. During the administration -of Mr. Hartman the high school has grown from seventy students to one-hundred and seventy-five. Mr. Firing comes from Birdsboro and attended Albright Col- lege. Formerly he was coach at Rimersburg, where one of his football teams secured the first victory over East Brady, and where one of his basketball teams won the county title. This is Mr. Fir- ing's fourth season here. One of his girl's teams here has captur- ed the county championship, and one boy's team, after a tie, played for the championship, losing to Farmington. From Schuylkill-Haven comes Mr. Robert J. Sausser, who attended Lebanon Valley College. He teaches music and social sci- ence. During the two years he has been here, he has had two spring concerts and a number of other musical activities. Clarion State Teachers College prepared Mr. William A. Stew- art of Sligo for his career as a science teacher. After teaching in the seventh and eighth grades for five years, he began teaching in the high school, where he now has been for two years. Miss Catherine Myers of Brookville, who attended Margaret Morrison College has taught English for two years. She had charge of the library play, Meet The Duchess, and also acts as head librarian. Our French and Latin teacher, Miss Grace Etzel, of Shippen- ville, who attended Capital University at Columbus, Ohio, has been with us for one term. She has directed the Senior play, My Moth- er-in-Law. The adviser of our yearbook, Mr. Jay McKee, who attended Clarion State Teachers College, is from Sligo. He teaches history and mathematics and has -been here for one term. An interesting comparison of 1896 with 1938 can be made. In 1896 the faculty consisted of one teacher, the principal, who, inci- dentally, served for a seven months' term at the munificent salary of forty dollars a month. Today, there are seven teachers serving for a term of nine months.

We timid, frightened Freshmen gazed in awe at the building, then reluctantly enter-ed-for better or for worse. VVhen our first meekness and fright had subsided somewhat, we looked about us, finding that some of our friends came from Curllsville, Sligo, Callensburg, and Huey. Under the supervision of Miss Stump we selected class officers. They were: Richard Hart- man, presidentg Betty Simpson, secretaryg and Maxine McFarland, trasurer. Within two weeks three of our group left us-Rhoda Brenneman, Virginia Painter, and VVally Myers. The second year we certainly felt proud. We were Sopho- mores, and no longer did we gaze in awe and Wonderment. We had climbed another step of the ladder of knowledge. Miss Mc- Kinley worked with us as well as one could with the group of radicals we sometimes proved to be. Officers of the Sophomore year were: Ray Benn, president, Mildred Callen, secretaryg and Don Callen, treasurer. juniors! It seems most unbelievable. The class had grown smaller. Many hadn't come back. Had their education been com- pleted in two years? I wonder. Much to the dismay of several Junior girls, among those missing were that handsome gigolo, john Walker, and tall, red-headed Darl Sipes. Donald Waddell made his appearance during December, transferring from Union High. The Junior Class officers were: Maxine McFarland, president 5 Ella Evanek, secretaryg and Helen VVilliams, treasurer. Ah, Seniors! Yes, the last year has come and with it some sad- ness. Friends of four happy years must part, perhaps, never to meet again. There is a new face among the group. Who is he? Oh, a left-over! Well, that's too bad. But having lost a member the Junior year, our class found no difference in its number. Looking back, I see another member in that Freshman Class- a member that wasn't on the roll. He was no other than the in- teresting Cupid. He must have been 'there in our midst, or why would nine of our number have let themselves be led into the tangled web of matrimony. I personally can find no other answer. 11 aQ X0 1111111111 ' ' 'xfx,'x'QQvQxf 'x S. SS 11 11 'QXIQQS YI , ' HMT .: ,,,3N. ,I , Q2 5 E 1, 22 E fc?

Paul McKee The Sophomore Class, following a school traditi-on, initiated the Freshmen at a Freshman Reception held during October. The committee for the reception was: Don Nelson, Craig Elliott, Elea- nore Burns, and V-eda Greenawalt. The initiation took the form of a mock trial with a Sophomore judge and jury meting out out punishment to Freshman guilty of serious crimes and misdemean- ors of miscellaneous varieties. The initiation was very successful from the standpoint of the ,upper classes if not from the view of the Freshmen. The class was well represented on the basketballsquads. Those out for basketball were: Evelyn Burns, Craig Elliott, Clair Haun, Bob Johnston, Merle Kline, Merl Bashline, Jay McCall, Bill Mc- Farland, Paul McKee. Dick Chandler, and Chase Adams. In the inter-class tournament the Sophomore girls defeated the Fresh- man girls, but were in turn defeated by the girls of the Eighth Grade. The Sophomore boys defeated the Freshman boys and in turn were beaten by the Eighth 'Grade boys.

THE BASKETBALL SEASON Boys-The year of 37-38 has seen the most active basketball club in the Sligo High School in many years. The team, Coach Firing's fourth, won 6 games and lost 14. The small size of a majority of the team pre- sented a handicap which led to the loss of many close games. The Blue and White team will lose two of the irst string players, Benn and Bracken. Ray Benn, who was elected captain for the second year, led in the team scoring with 163 points, followed by Bracken with 90. Benn also received a medal for having made the most foul shots during the season. The letter men were: Dale Bracken, Dick Henry, Paul McKee, Dick Slater, Ray Benn, Eugene McCall, Dana Logue, Ray Brinker, Merle Kline, and Craig Elliott. Benn and Bracken were selected to play in the county a11-star game. Art Love was the manager of the team and re- ceived a letter. Girls--The basketball squad found the season of 1937-38 another very successful one. Eleven games were victories, with only live losses. In ad- dition several games such as these with Rimersburg were very close. Each of the following girls played a total of at least sixteen quarters and was granted a letter: Evelyn Burns, Violet Buzzard, Leona Divins, Ella Evanek, Lois Johnston, Betty Mathias, Millie McCall, Anna Mae My- ers, Mildred Richardson, Lois Rimer, and Betty Simpson, Gladys Giles, the team manager, also received a letter. The remaining members of the squad received numerals. The four Senior members of the squad, having in previous years re- ceived letters, were presented with gold basketballs. They were Mildred Richardson, Betty Simpson, Millie McCall, and Ella Evanek. Betty Simp- son and Mildred Richardson were elected co-captains of the team. Betty Mathias was awarded a medal as the outstanding member of the squad. The high scorer for the season was Violet Buzzard. Lois Johnston com- piled the best foul-shooting average for the year.

The reason for this fact is found in the large number of church, Sun- day Sch-ool, 4-H Club, and other activities in which the members of our student body are engaged. Our students have other meet- ings and affairs to attend. One special program of our school was held on Armistice Day, November ll, 1937, in the Logue Memorial Auditorium. The president of the Sligo Civic Club, Mrs. Frank Silves, delivered an interesting talk on the Hag of our country. The Civic Club pre- sented to the school a new Hag and a new flagpole. A member of the junior Class, Jack Wiser, gave us a talk on the meaning of the flag and its different colors. Several members of the school joined in presenting a short pageant, entitled The Unknown Soldier. The members of the Sligo Band furnished music. After the pro- gram was over, the students gathered in front of the school for the raising of the flag and the pledge of allegiance. We have had one party, the Freshman Reception, in which all the school took part. The Senior and Junior Classes each put on short plays. The Sophomore Class had the privilege of initiating the Freshmen of '37. A second party, the Senior Farewell, in which only the juniors and Seniors take part, will be held later in the term. The Juniors pay their last respects to the Seniors by furnishing entertainment and refreshments for the evening. Two alumni dances have been held in the Logue Memorial Auditorium, and have been attended by many members of the student body. The various classes have spons-ored a number of skating parties to which other high schools are invited. Of the Friday afternoon assemblies several programs have been of note. In one Mr. Firing and several members of the bas- ketball squads explained the rules and fundamentals of basketball. A history of the American Indian was presented, along with a group of three Indians, who danced and sang in the native manner. The History of Bread-Making was shown in a motion picture spon- sored by the Braun Baking Company. The most important day in the lives of our basketball squads is that on which they receive the letters and awards of a winter's work. Mr. Firing formally presented the awards in an assembly program on March 18. Present indications are that next year's program will show a greatly expanded list of activities. n Q pw 511 ww ,,.

The band, glee club, and instrumental classes entertained for two hours with a program consisting of four parts. The first and last parts were given 'by the band. Selections made up of marches, overtures, fox-trots, lullabies, and novelties were rendered in a well-fashioned manner by the band. The second part of the program was given by the glee club. Although only organized this year their selections were rendered with signs of a promising future. Their program consisted of three selections: Twilight Lullaby, a lullabyg Grandfather's Clock, a noveltyg and an old Southern air, Old Folks at Home. The third part of the program was given by the instrumental classes. Their portion of the entertainment consisted of violin ensem'bles, cornet quartets, cornet trios, and a saxaphone solo. Pupils participating in this portion of the program proved that they are prepared to continue the excellent work of the band and to supply the need for a high school orchestra in the future. The band members are anticipating large crowds at their street concerts to be held sometime during the month of May. The Sligo High School Band will also take part in the Memorial Serv- ices at the cemetery on May 30. During the past winter the band added to the zest of the bas- ketball games by playing some lively marches. Special entertain- ment was furnished the school by the band at the assembly on Fri- day, February 12. Robert J. Sausser has been music director for 'two years at Sligo. We highly recommend him to the future students. Mr. Sausser's favorite instrument is the violin. He has organ- ized a Junior Band of thirty members, the majority of whom are violin players. Their progress .was well demonstrated at the Spring Concert. Approximately forty girls make up the glee club. Mr. Saus- ser meets with the club every Friday morning for half an hour's practice. The musical activities this year have shown a great advance over those of the previous years, not only in amount but in quality. f 35.54 K Fislm gm 1 J , :il ix 1, E we vim .

It has put forth every effort to make this first year- book a success. We have aimed to describe those things which will enable present graduates to relive their school days in memory and which will help future graduates to appreciate our beginning. V .s, 411 111111 1411111 S. V I THE HQNOR ROLL Events of the past year confirm the belief that the Sligo High School need bow its head to no -school in matters of scholastic achievement. The members of the Senior, Junior and Eighth Grade Classes took part in an essay contest sponsored by the American Legion throughout the county. The subject of the essays was A Com- parative Study of the Advantages of American Citizenship. Ella Evanek won first place in the Senior contest in the school, in the district, and in the county. As a result she is entitled to a one hundred dollar scholarship for four years to any one of four lead- ing Pennsylvania universities. jane Hill placed second in the junior contest throughout the county. Every year a competitive examination for a State Scholarship is held in the county. Any senior recommended may compete. The prize is a four-year one hundred dollar scholarship to any Penn- sylvania College. In 1937 Ted Williams won the scholarship, mak- ing the third Sligo student in the last few years to place. The following students received A's or B's during 'the first five periods this year and were placed on the Honor Roll each time: Arlene Newell, Raymond Ginepro, Charles McElravy, Leona Div- ins, Lois Rimer, Beth Logue, and Gladys Giles. THE VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club of the Sligo High School was organized on April 7, 1938. All those who have, at some time or other, been granted a letter from the Sligo High School are entitled to mem- bership. There are also a few honorary members. The purpose of the club is the promotion of better athletics in the school. Dues will be paid each month and the money raised will go toward the purchase of equipment and toward the sponsoring of an athletic banquet. The following officers were elected: President .................... 'Charles Mathias Vice-President . . . ..... Betty Simpson Secretary ...... ......... L ois Johnston Treasurer ................. Mildred Richardson Mr. Firing is acting as sponsor for the club. Up to the present the club has not been very active, due to its newness. It is expected in the future to become a very important activity. The success of the organization depends upon the co- operation shown by the members.
