Y1V 66 97 mtl LOOKS FORWARD In the mind and heart of every student is the ambition and the will to succeed. Others have been faced with the same problems, the same worries and toil, life's same intricacies that confront him, but they rose above these obstacles to their progress and con- quered their fears. And, though they may view with pride their present attainments, they are only stepping- stones to higher and greater achievement. Just as Columbus set forth upon a journey into the unknown, just as Fremont and his sturdy followers carved their way through the wildernessg so did youth struggle through the wilderness of knowledge until they have glimpsed the future, their ultimate goal, spread out before them in the great valley of life. 7 ljmll 4 DEDICATION To those far-seeing youths, to those who will mould the destinies of the world of tomorrow, we, the Class of 1940, dedicate this book. fzfmtl ITsIsI.F Youth presents itself, the tuture builders ot American democracy.

The board consists of five directors who work hard to main- tain a sound school organization. It is these directors who provide us with teachers capable of guiding us, plan the budget and do in- numerable other tasks which are entrusted to them. These faithful citizens have been chosen by the voters of Somerset Without any thought of financial reward, They aim to give the students and citi- zens the best school. The board administers efficiently a carefully planned curriculum with forethought of the future. Our board of education consisting of Dr. Barchfield, president, Dr. Hemminger, vice president, Mr. Courtney, secretary, Mr. Wolters berger, treasurer, and Mr. Gnagey, have performed their duties With' much praise. It is our school board which has helped our school to expand not only materially but intellectually. They understand the importance of a modern school system and have cooperated to provide such a system. We are sincere in expressing our gratitude to these fine mem- bers Who constitute our board of education and to Dr. Hay, who repre- sents the school, for making school life pleasant and profitable to us. 'S STORY 8 Ur. Hnv Mr. Griffith The guiding hand of a thousand Indians is Dr. H. W. Hay's chosen profession. He has arranged schedules and run all the high school business so efficiently that even We brilliant students have not Wit- nessed a single mistake. He listens to all our Wild ideas with serious contemplation and helps us Work out our problems. If some inquisitive soul would like to know what makes this high school tick, he would find the main spring seated behind a desk in the office with Super- vising Principal H. W. Hay on the door. Mr. Griffith, our principal, has Written permits and listened to quaking excuses for quite a long time. Some say he knows all the answers. He has helped rearrange all those problems We have de- manded a solution for as we dashed into his office. No Wonder he looks at us and smiles as We rip through the hall. Mr. Griffith has the great reputation of dealing odd penalties to those who have acquired a Wanderlust at some time or other. As a thank you, Youth salutes two capable leaders.

It is our teachers to whom we turn for advice and guidance in practical knowledge as well as book learning, and their friendly encouragement makes our troubles seem small. MISS MAIER is the one to whom we go for reference material in the library. She very capably supplies the needed information whether it be from a new book or a magazine of several years ago. MISS PIPER tells the Iuniors of the tragedy of Macbeth. Her junior high closses learn the fundamentals of composition. She also gives many helpful suggestions to the Literary Staff of the Eaglet of which she is advisor. MISS STOKER tells the Freshmen of the correct uses of verbs and pronouns and quizzes them on Ivanhoe and Iulius Caesar. MRS. MEYER gives the Iuniors a chance to write essays. The jour- nalism class studies newspaper reporting and writing. This class, with Mrs. Meyer as sponsor, publishes The Scoops of Somerset. To be or not to be that is the question. But it is not the only question in MISS MILES' class, for Hamlet is just one of the many interesting units. Her Senior English students even have a formal dinner party with imaginary food. Along with English MISS BAUGHMAN tells the Iunior High stu- dents of life's vocations and how to apply one's talents to one's work for a lifetime. MISS SNYDER explains the technique of precis writing and out- lining. Her classes learn to make speeches too. Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic-MR. MENSER starts the seventh and eighth graders on the mathematics road. MR. FRYSINGER helps the pupils through algebra, geometry and finally trigonometry. MR. GRIFFITH develops the study of finding the x in second year algebra. In the vocational department We have the foods laboratory. MISS SPENCER, since her arrival in Ianuary, has taught her classes how to fix many appetizing dishes. MISS ROSS oversees the work in the cafeteria. Her meal-plan- ning ability is known to all who eat there. MISS MENG helps the girls in sewing classes plan complete ward- robes and make most of the clothes. Wood shop activities are directed by MR. DIXON. In these classes the fellows make everything from small knick-knacks to large desks. MR. PYLE is the instructor in the metal shop. Here the boys make tools, kitchen utensils and jewelry. The principles of raising crops are learned from MR. BILLICK. MR. CLEEVES teaches the boys how to tell good livestock from bad livestock. MR. KERIN shows the boys the fundamentals in wrestling and tumbling. MISS WEBER helps the girls to acquire finesse in tennis and hockey. MISS ROMANOSKI shows beginners how to manipulate the little gadgets of a typewriter. I MISS STERN teaches transcription to those who are more ad- vanced in typing and shorthand. ' ....11...

J'-nfl TELLS ITQ STORY 12 Xl Ilu I XII SENIORS LEARN THE VALUE OF ACI-IIEVEMENT An old picture of our now dignified Seniors shows a group of dimpled, shy-looking Fresh- men. However, that is deceiv- ing for the present Seniors were the liveliest and peppiest of greenies. Their Freshman circus was a thriller to the whole school. The timid Fresh- men were changed overnight into daring acrobats, swagger- ing clowns, and dashing ani- mals. which appeared faintly mals which appeared faintly related to burlap sacks, were most clever of all. Walt Disney has always been the patron of this class. In their second year they gave a Snow White Dance for the Seniors. The gym was gay with forest greens and flowers. Even the royal atmosphere was there, for a king and queen were selected from the guests to reign supreme over the affair. They were attended by dwarfs dressed in typical Dis- ney style. In their Iunior year they presented Fer- dinand the Bull on the auditorium's stage. The crowd roared with laughter as Ferdy refused to budge in the arena. However, they not only drew gales of laugh- ter from the school. When they presented Ghost Hunters, the chills ran up and down the au- dience like a monkey on a stick. In their third year of high school Booth Tarkington's Trysting Place was skillfully per- formed in an assembly program. The complica- tions that occurred when several groups of lovers happened. to choose one and the same room for a little spooning were all faithfully given. When this class gave their Iunior Prom, the guests were transported over the lazy South Sea and landed gently in Hawaii. A false ceil- ing of blue cellophane hovered over the floor. ....13.. 'K It is no secret that this cost seventeen dollars. The Seniors were proud of their extrava- gance, for they wanted nothing short of the best. A thermosta- tically controlled moon bright- ened and dimmed above the palm trees as the evening passed. Leap Year makes its appear- ance but once in a class's high school career, and the Seniors took advantage of the time and gave their Leap Year dance. The affair was made truly novel by the fact that the girls asked the boys to the dance. Iunior was escorted from his home under the very eyes of his amused parents. The couples danced under a colorful cloud of gay balloons. Balloons also made the party the Seniors gave the Freshmen a merry occasion. A net of the feathery bubbles was released from the ceil- ing. The floating balloons were the property of those with the longest reach. A lone survivor of the scramble floated tauntingly out of reach and was the object of many hilarious minutes of sport. The crowning achievment of four years of high school occurred on February first and second. On those two nights, long to be remembered by the class of 4O, Mother Carey's Chickens was given to record audiences. The Seniors practiced day after day to make this play a success. Even at noon hours the typical Sefnior hastily swal- lowed a sandwich and rushed pell-mell to the stage. There he rehearsed his lines with others as ambitious as himself. The effort they put forth during the four years was well worth it, too, for l94U's Seniors may C. graduate with the confidence that they left more than a passing contribution to the reputation of Somerset High School! -5.

The lunior Class raises the roof at pep meetings and games. We have some marvelous voices in the croWd. Are We all noise? Ot course not! We have some real talent in our class. When the Iuniors put on a program We have a variety of talent to please everyone. Many of our vocalists were in the operetta even as Sophomores. We not only Watch at games! Some ot our boys are regular members of the football and basketball squads. You'll see more of these boys in sports next year. Dances?

One Senior confessed that it was quite easy for him to jitterbugg he was so seasick he could hardly stand up. Our Iunior Prom even surpassed this in sparkle and originality.

You stare aghast at the young- ster before you and Wonder if that professional salesman's voice came from the mere Sophomore before you. But there is no reason to be surprised. By selling everything from steaming hot coffee to ice cold pop, the Sophomores have become experienced salesmen. At institute even the boys entered the kitchen-though not for the usual purpose. Any teacher will testify to the expert Way they handled the pots 'and pans and their contents. All this work filled their treasury full enough to present the finest of dances to the Senior Class. For days they Worked tirelessly in the gym, and many a dignified Senior was shamelacedly caught try- ing to peer through those black-draped Windows. All outsiders were kept in breathless suspense. This class has given us many of our boys on the gridiron and basketball floor as Well as an imposing list of names on the honor roll. .

They have a good representation in our band, orchestra, and clubs. A large part of them participate in the Iunior Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Van Vorst. They are constantly on the bleachers to cheer our teams on to victory. The office has sponsored several parties for them, and they have showed their appreciation by pouring into the gym and having a good time. They have proved that they will make good students and good citizens by their interested participation in their home room activities. In their guidance periods they have been eager to learn how they may take their part in the world of work. This training also has helped them to select wisely the course they Wish to follow in high school. They definitely will not be the usual group of bewildered Freshmen.

A miniature blur of color passes by, and you ask in alarm, What Was that? ls your face red when you are informed that the flash was a couple of little seventh graders? The most conspicuous thing about our Seventh graders is their size-or perhaps lack of size. They are small enough and daring enough to jostle under even a teacher's elbow. The books of the upper grades suffer as a result of this. These talented youngsters are very adept entertainers. When they humbly presented their assembly program to the Senior High, many a mmber of our choruses wished for such a clear voice. And the acting was surprisingly Well done. Even before they arrived for their first year in our building, they had established a reputation of fine acting and musical ability. Many of them had been presented to us in the Union Street School operetta. They are the typical Seventh graders whose enthusiasm at our games and dances goes hand in hand with a zest for study.

The story of a lovable old family is brought to life by not one, but two groups of Seniors from S. H. S. Miss Miles, our producer, really played the part of Mother Carey in producing the play because she kept us all under her wing. Weeks before the presentation of the play, Miss Snyder and her helpers scoured the town's attics looking for old fashioned furni- ture. Miss Baughman carefully followed the lines and made correc- tions at rehearsal. Is my lipstick on straight? Do I have too much rouge on? were questions asked by the feminine element. Thelma Critchfield and Iane Musser portrayed Nancy Carey, the Pathfinder of the Carey family. They must have the trail blazing instinct because they both did admirably well. Tom Hamilton, the young man who hoped to join the family, was brought to life in a splendid manner by Roger Fuetter and Iohn Sleasman. Mr. Popham, the caretaker and witty philosopher of the Carey home, was portrayed by Ray Fink and Charles Silva, Rosemary Doherty and Eileen Casey interpreted the part of Mother Carey, the guiding light and loveable mother of the household. Gilbert, a young man of the world and proud of it, was played by Ralph Tressler and Paul Livengood. The chief worry in the peaceful life of Gilbert was Lallie Ioy Popham, a frivolous, bashful, and awkward young lady. Lois Dosch and Iulia Morocco portrayed this part so well that the audience was hysterical with the ncarryings-on of Lallie Ioy. Mrs. Popham, the mother of Lallie Ioy, enacted by Dorothy Foley and Margie Boburchak, added a humorous touch with their old fashioned dresses and droll speeches. Richard Crouse and Norman Weiss acted as sincere as ever? . . . in their interpretation of the part of Ralph Thurston, a struggling young school teacher. The part of Cousin Ann Chadwick, cr domineering and socially-minded aunt, who cares for the household of the Careys in her own way, was played by Margaret Good and Sibyl Pugh. Cousin Ann has a shadow by the name of Iulia Carey. Marjorie Meyers and Lois Hagaman portrayed the part of the snobbish and sophisticated Iulia very well. Kathleen, the sweet and quiet member of the Carey household, was brought to life by Thelma Wilhelm and Iane Davis. Iohn Dickey and Iohn Mason played the part of Cyril Lord, a studious, solemn and quite gifted artist. The hard-hearted father of Cyril, Henry Lord, came to life in the personages of Iohn Mostoller and Walter Moore. Their stern deep voices blended well with their commanding natures. Sam Berry, the local storekeeper and musician, was well portrayed by two of our leading musicians, lack Foley and Earl Berkey. Peter, the youngest member of the Carey household was played by Ioey Schrock and Donnie Cassler. The two boys, though still young, were both good troupers and should become fine actors. -37- YOUTH PLAYS , , ru ng . if 510' l fzm.

The Captain of The Guard The clash of swords and the marching tread of full-fledged sol- diers met the ears of anyone passing the auditorium in March, for rehearsals for The Captain of the Guard were in full sway. The rehearsals were not all work for when a group of young people get together there is bound to be a lark. One night Miss Miles found her medieval guardsmen watching a basketball game in modern fashion-through a window. On the memorable night of March fourteenth and fifteenth, an ap- preciative audience watched and listened as a delightful tale un- folded. In the kingdom of Latonia, the henpecked King Nicholas was deftly ruled by his queen and mother-in-law, the Duchess. His lovely daughter, Flavia, was in love with Andre, the Captain of the Guard. However when Latonia became bankrupt, the royal henpeckers ar- ranged her wedding with the visiting Prince of Oxenstein that was to avert disaster. The king, who had been away at a conference, arrived just in time to expose the prince as a rogue and ex-criminal. Of course a royal wedding could not be postponed, so Andre was released from his dungeon and was married to the Princess. A well chosen cast laughed their way bravely through all their difficulties and made The Captain of the Guard a real success. Velma Ogline made an appealing Princess, and David Brashear was the romantic, well disciplined guardsman-hero. jack Foley was sur- prisingly meek as King Nicholas, and Iane Musser and Lois Dosch were excellent shrews. Roger Fuetter was smooth and sly as the vil- lain should be, and no one could be more humorous as his aide, the Baron, than Iohn Sleasman. Bob Stahl was worried and harried as the chancellor of a bankrupt country. Mae lean Picking and Marjorie Meyers did an excellent job of flirting as the empty headed Countesses. Now that the royalty is disposed of, let's look over the common folks. Iim Dull as Alexis, Eugene Kendall as the jolly Inn Keeper, lean Antonacci as Sonya, and Robert Carter and Robert Brashear as the flat-voiced heralds all helped to present a splendid performance. The chorus was a lively group indeed for the boys were resplendent in bright guardsman's uniforms, and the girls were gaily dressed as peasant lassies. Miss Miles and Mr. Van Vorst were everywhere-Well, nearly everywhere-at once, helping and directing. Miss Weber taught the girls those gay dances, and Mr. Kerin helped the boys to get that military snap into their drills. lt was Mr. Kline and his artists who actually made that silo into a grim, grey castle tower. Mr. Dixon spent many hours of pounding and sawing to rnake such a realistic stage. The cast and chorus were accompanied by Thelma Critchfield and Merle Stahl at two pianos. Both the audience and the cast felt that the operetta of l94U was a delightful, well chosen production, and Miss Miles and Mr. Van Vorst were presented gifts by the grateful cast of The Captain of the Guard. mil TELLS IT'S STORY 38 -.,.L., . . ,V fi The three choruses of the school entertained at public appear- ances and in assembly programs.

THE BOYS' CHORUS In our high school, there is no musical group that the students like to listen to better than the boys' chorus. The negro spirituals as well as the other numbers are followed by thunderous applause. This musical group not only sings for concerts, but provides male voices for the operetta. The boys spend two periods a week and seem to find it very enjoyable. THE MIXED CHORUS Comining these two groups together we blend their voices har- moniously in a mixed chorus of one hundred and twenty members.

Our brass sextet and Woodwind quintet have played for many concerts. .HIL TEI.I.S ws STORY Our orchestra, although not quite as active is just as essential in our high school as the band. Although it does .not play for athletic games and social outings, it plays a big part in operettas, plays. commencement, baccalaureate, and assemblies. This year the orches- tra did not compete in any contests, but it is a fine musical organi- zation. It has forty members, all of them capable musicians. Several years ago it won second honors in the district Forensic League Con- test at Brentwood, Pittsburgh. All the members are Working hard to make this a top organization. Mr. Stineman, Who is supervisor of all instrumental music in our school, directs the orchestra and has Worked hard to make this a sound musical group. The members of the high school band and orchestra get their first experience in the Iunior Band. The people in this group must pass an examination to get into the regular band and orchestra. This organization practices twice a Week. ORCHESTRA AND JUNIOR BAND N-niul fll'L'lll'Stl'H. l .luniur Rumi :Ind UH-lin-sIl':1 ..43..

Oh, isn't she cuteg boy is he handsome. Isn't this informal of the teachers just too cute. Pass the paste and scissors, please. I must finish this page. Such bubbling goes on at the meetings of the Literary Staff. Miss Piper and Thelma Critchfield were the guiding stars for the staff. Besides doing much of our Work they attended to their many jobs with gleaming faces. It was the duty of the Literary Staff to compile and edit the year- book. No corner in the school was safe from the prying shutters of Mr. Rocks camera. New angles and backgrounds were hunted for the new pictures. While the good weather lasted, pictures were taken on the athletic field and outside. Members of the staff racked their brains for new ideas on pic- tures and write-ups. After the pictures were developed they had to be cut to scale, sorted, and put in the proper places. Then came creating the copy-space! What a time it was to figure out the number of words in a single write-up! Compute the number of square inches and divide by fifteen on the bottom and nine on the side. When the write-ups were assigned, many anguished howls were heard. Miss Piper, you know that I don't know anything about football. I'm a girl and how am I supposed to get a thousand words out of this? Thelma, did you assign this to me? I don't have the slightest idea what it's all about. Did we mind it? I should say not. We all loved to create something new. When we got stuck, Miss Piper and Toby were always right there to help us out of the rut. cuff 'rEI.I.s Irs srom' 44 What could all those question marks be for that are stuck in the halls and all those 'Watch this space' signs? Oh, the Eaglet. Well isn't that clever! Who would have thought of anything like that but the Business Staff of the year book? Ray Fink is the student business manager and Mr. Wagner is the faculty sponsor. The rest of the staff is divided into two divisions, the advertising staff and the circulating staff. lt's the official duty of the advertising staff to dash from this office building to that one across the street and get subscriptions to the biggest ads possible. I have witnessed myself the supremely satisfied gloat on the face of one mem- ber showing another a little white subscription blank for a full page ad. And the circulating staff? How could you miss them? They have been heckling you for quarters and fifty cents between bells and stray periods all year. Don't forget your quarter! Year book payment due tomorrow! Forget them? Heavens no! ' We have a lot to thank the entire staff for. They made it pos- sible for us to have the Annual published. l've heard them say, We make it and the Literary Staff spends it, but they just keep right on Working, leaving nothing undone. They have made a success of financing this year book and we do appreciate you-Business Staff. -45- BUSINESS STAFF Ilcmks :ull Rzilzlilvn- . . . llruwing' tho de-sigris , . .

Now in its second year, the Student Council has already become a very influential and powerful body in Somerset High School. Based on a constitution drawn up by the original members, it consists of representatives from each class. It meets once a week and discusses problems presented by the members. Scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the ideals of the National Honor Society. This society is the highest scholastic order into which any high school student can be inducted. It is present in high schools throughout our country. Each new member is presented a certificate and an emblem after taking the vows. jvulf Ti3l.1.s VVS STORY Hun lfNlrs, .Xlvvi-1' I Atnstollvr, M. tieuni, Hrustn-zu'. XV.

The members oi this club are all varsity S men in either football or basketball. The time at the meetings is spent in discussing football and basketball plays. and the merits and Weaknesses of opposing teams. The members of this group receive sweaters and pins in recognition of their work. It is one of the school mysteries as to how the pins disappear from manly lapels and find their way-er-a-elsewhere. The huddle in this picture is a typical snap of the newsmen who publish S. C: S. To show them as they usually are, a movie of hustling, bustling in- dividuals, dashing here and there for news should be taken. The harried but competent editor is Hazel Slagle,' and her staff is composed of members of tho Iournalism class. This class. under the direction of Miss Sipe publishes our school paper twice a month. A few days before the paper comes out, the staff is undoubtedly the busiest group in the school, for the last minute news must be quickly' inserted. The latest and best is the motto of this group.

I hope that picture doesn't come out. You're going to develop it right away? In your own dark room? Enter it in the picture contest? Oh, then you must belong to the Photoplay Club. This club is one of the most popular clubs in the school. They operate all the movie projectors and show all the educational films you are so happy to miss class to see. Robert Schroyer, a licensed operator, is president of the club. With Mr. Frysinger's assistance they try to teach the other members to take pictures, not shots, and to print and develop efficiently all their own films. ADVENTURE IN READING The Adventure Club is one of our newest clubs. It was formed just last year by its sponsor, Miss Stoker. The club was formed to promote greater reading skill among its members. Adventure in Reading is the club's real name. Each week the members either Work crossword puzzles, read short stories and books, play games or produce plays taken from magazines. Recently the club read a play over a make-believe radio station. The club is open to Freshmen and Sophomore students only, al- though a few Iuniors have been enrolled. RADIO CLUB LEARNS ABOUT STARS If any one is lax in his knowledge of any kind of radio star or radio program, tune in to station R-A-D-I-O every Thursday at ll:UU o'clock and hear a discussion on these topics under the direction of Miss Yingling. The main purpose of the Radio Club is to become better acquainted with radio stars and programs. Some of the members may find a clue as to how our famous stars of today arose to stardom and become the leading stars of the future. The club conducted a poll to discover the number of radios in all the students' homes and also presented a radio program in assembly. ...4Q1 Yjmft R. Schroyer, B. Schroyer, J. Coffroth, Johnson.

There is little chance for monotony to enter into this club for each session is varied. One week the girls sew or discuss anyphase of sewing- what to wear and when, the following week they cook or study the culinary art. The girls believe one way to win a rnan is through his stomach. No program is complete without parties, so every three or four weeks the girls have a party. SEE THE WORLD IN TRAVEL CLUB loin the Travel Club and see the world! This club, under the supervision of Miss Snyder, meets every week to learn about the world in which we live, to stimulate a desire to travel, to promote tolerance among nations as well as individuals, and to extend the horizons of our thoughts. The members learn about different countries from magazine and newspaper articles and talks from people who are familiar with foreign countries. This club belongs to the International Student Forum on International Relations. Every year the members journey to Pittsburgh and take a sight-seeing trip of various buildings. TREE CLUB MEMBERS KNOW TREES What kind of tree is that? This was asked by Seventh and Eighth grade members of the Tree Club at the beginning of the year. But after a short time all of the trees became as familiar as the maple and the pine. They also study the various insect pests. Their duty is to find the names of insects that destroy trees. Many members have planted small flower beds as this also falls in their line. When Mr. Cleeves takes them on tours, it is educational as well as lots of fun. ..50.. Row 1'lxIEllU.2'll4'.

THE SOCIAL CLUB DANCES I'll never learn to dance. I'm as stiff as a board. These were some ot the remarks that could be heard in the Dancing Club on the tirst day. But they did learn to dance and they are now swinging at the school dances. This club is for both boys and girls. Three groups of boys and girls are taken in during the year and, in this way, everyone has a chance to learn new steps. Miss Weber also teaches her dance students the Virginia reel, polkas, and square dances. The victrola provides the music and it certainly is hot. As a result of this club, many more students have attended the dances. IUNIOR HIGH DRAMATICS PRESENTS THANKSGIVING PROGRAM No, they're not professional actors and actresses but they can act. This group ot Seventh and Eighth grade boys and girls, under the direction of Miss Piper, meet every club period to discuss the theatre and acting. They have made miniature stage sets and a scrap book of famous movie actresses and actors with interesting information about their lives. The lives of famous actors such as Helen Hayes, Katherine Cornell, and Raymond Massey were also studied. The school was actually surprised when they gave their Thanksgiving program in chapel. Who would have ever thought a group like this had so much talent? ART CLUB ALLOWS INDIVIDUALITY V The Art Club was organized with the express purpose of letting pupils, who are artistically inclined, show just what they can do when given the chance. With Mr. Kline's help, the mem- bers of this club do the things they have always wished to try. Most of them start out with posters and signs, which are used to advertise the schools activities, and end up doing soap sculpturing, leather work, modeling in clay, or weaving. Who knows but that one of these now unknown art students may, some day, be a great sculptor or painter. .-53-. S. R. Heiple O. Swank P, Suylor J, Carey D. Fisher-ick L. Statler J. Mosholder J.

SEND DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION Since it's Leap Year girls and, in case you're trying to find a future husband, look in the F. F. A. Club. Here are many of the Future Farmers of America. Under Mr. Billick, these boys learn all the do's and don'ts of farming. The object of this club is to further vocational agriculture. Each year these boys send delegates to county and state conventions. They also enter their products, such as potatoes, poultry, and honey, in the annual F. F. A. Convention held at Pennsylvania State Teachers' Col- lege and often Walk off with many of the prizes. AIRPLANE CLUB BUILDS GAS POWERED MODELS The airmen of Somerset High do not meet during school hours. Regular meetings sponsored by Mr. Dixon are held each Tuesday night .Reports are made on certain phases of aeronau- tics. Then each person trys to put into practice these new ideas and in this way improve the designing and building of planes. Prior to this year the power for the planes constructed in this club was rubber bands. Now gasoline powered models are being made. If the results of the club this year equal those of last year, the members expect to attend a meeting of the Birdmen in Pittsburgh. KNITTING CLUB KNITS Knit one, purl two, knit one, purl two. This is not an Old Maid's Sewing Circle, it's just the Somerset High School Knitting Club. Under Miss Meyers, the knitters learn many intricate pat- terns. The beginners must first make a sample square of the basic stitch, which is displayed on the club bulletin board. When this sample has been completed and is practically flawless, the knitter may then start on a more difficult project of her own choosing. Many of the girls wear sweaters and skirts which they have knitted themselves. ..54... 'MT' 1 Mr. Billivk, liurl King. Glenn Ash. Alzlynzlrrl Say- lur, Iwi- Hui-y, Jziy Hnnpt.

ROOF GARDEN CHEMISTS ANALYZE MEDICINE This interesting club is different from most other clubs in our school as it is a member of the national organization, The Student Science Clubs of America. Both chemistry and physics students are members of this group and the experiments, under the direction of Mr. Wagner, are taken from both courses. Another activity is studying the Consumer's Digest and testing some of the products mentioned in it. During the year different patent medicines are analyzed. The composition of various foods is also proved. It is the plan of the club to have each member present one club program. This may be a discussion or a demonstration. SENIOR DRAMATISTS HAVE BUSY YEAR An organization that makes its presence known throughout the year by its outstanding activities is the Senior Dramatics Club. The members help with school productions such as the Senior Class Play, the Operetta and the Faculty Play. Their part is helping with the make-up, stage sets, and properties. Several chapel programs are given each year. This includes the annual Christmas program which is also presented for the pub- lic at an evening performance. The club also tries to see several local movies and a play. This year they went to Pittsburgh to see Hamlet. They try to pick productions of interest and discuss them at later meetings. Miss Miles is the advisor. SAFETY PATROL One of the school organizations which deserves much credit is our Safety Patrol. During all kinds of weather the Patrol is on duty. Every day they direct the students safely across the street. They also patrol and usher at football and basketball games. The Patrol is sponsored by the A. A. A. This year a new bus Patrol has been added. On every school bus are stationed two boys who help to prevent accidents on the bus. Every year the boys take a trip to Washington, D. C. and are entertained by the A. A. A. This year they raised almost enough money to finance the trip by selling candy and pop at the basketball games. The twelve members meet every Tuesday night with Robert Mognet, captain, and Mr. Kline, faculty advisor. -57- p! ffauff Musscr, Glessner, Moore.

TUMBLING PROVIDES EXERCISE FOR ALL The Tumbling Club was organized by Mr. Kerin in 1931. The club performs for assembly, parties, service clubs, lodges. and church organizations. Tumbling is the most natural exercise in the world for boys. Tumbling harmoniously develops the whole body without aid of any apparatus whatsoever or any other set of exercises. You can tumble in snow drifts, on grass, in hay mows, in basements, or in the gymnasium. Tumbling requires little or no apparatus. Its varied movements attract the awkward beginner and the expert performer. It is interesting because the movements are useful in many of life's situations. WRESTLING CLUB No wonder the manly chests of the boys in this club are puffed out with pride. This year the Wrestling Club has entered into interscholastic competition. That big phrase means, in short, that these boys have tussled with the toughies of Conemaugh and Boswell. The club meets once a week, and the boys roll and struggle under the direction of Mr. Paul Schrock. IUNIOR MECHANICS CLUB The Iunior Mechanics Club is a junior organization of young boys who are studying modern industrial processes. The members run the club themselves under supervision of its officers. The pur- pose oi the Iunior Meclhanics club work is to motivate all types of industrial arts work in the junior high school by the grant- ing of awards for the satisfactory completion of units of indus- trial work. It aims to teach the young boy how to do the various construction and repair jobs around the home that every man or boy should be able to do regardless of what his future voca- tion may be. The faculty advisor is Mr. Dixon. 158- Row 1-Rvsh. Row Zglwreftti, Xxvl- lTl'l01'. Huw 3-H 0 l d P1'l1l2lllYT1, Lutshaw, Burke-t, Christ - npr, Gorman. Row 44Hine-man, Mai-tz, Revs-llo, Arnold, Hose.

The Commercial students in this club study business etiquette, the correct dress in an office, personality improvements, and a variety of problems that arise in the every day business conduct. These girls will have an excellent opportunity for securing good positions in business life. THEY HAVE BEEN READING THE NEWS Under the able direction of Mr. Deitz, the newspaper has become a book of adventure from which the members of the Current Events Club read interesting stories. Ot course, the war in Europe makes an excellent topic tor study, said Mr. Deitz. The twenty-two members are making use of their op- portunity and are learning all they can about the war and condi- tions in the countries that are at war. Anything from the smallest item to the largest headline story is worth looking into, and the club enjoys the club hour to the fullest extent. IUNIOR DRAMATISTS IMPERSONATE ACTORS Experience is the best teacher. The members of the Iunior Dramatics Club under the direction of Miss Sipe are starting to learn the tricks in acting. In improving their acting ability they dramatize plays and give impersonations ot different people. This club too, holds discussions about actors and actresses and the members are very well informed on all the up to the minute news about the theatre. ..61.- 5.4 :Q ' 'qwfl Brown, Reese, Ssiylor, Moore.

USHERS' CLUB SOLVES AUDITORIUM PROBLEM Although the Ushers' Club has been only two years in exist- ence it has proved a great asset to our school. The girls, under the guidance of Mr. Van Vorst, have solved the difficult problem of seating the people in the auditorium. They usher at all the programs held in the auditorium, including the Operetta, Senior Class Play, Lion's Club programs and others. To have a pro- gram in the auditorium Without the aid of the ushers would leave a great many people confused. -62- limv l-In-utty. Kimmf-I Ii:-sh. XYHIR1-1'. Hrnllgrlu-i' Sixnpsuu, Imvis.

Its purpose is to give each student the opportunity to participate for competition and recreation. 150 boys signed up for the first wrestling tourna- ment, 100 boys play in the annual tennis tournament, 375 play mushballg 400 took part in basketballg 425 in volley ball, 200 in touch football, and 225 participating in soccer. All sports are played at noon, after school and early morning. Slogan for intramural activities is Athletics for All. THE CAFETERIA CLUB GIRLS DECORATE THE CAFETERIA This club is the ideal organization for the future housewife. Any girls who Wish to join the club must be Sophomores, Iuniors, Seniors, Vocational Home Economic students or Cafeteria Work- ers on N. Y. A. The group at present is made up of twenty- two girls. Their time is spent on special projects such as making decorations and new centerpieces for the tables in the Cafeteria. Another duty is to keep fresh flowers on the tables in spring and fall. Other periods are spent in discussing Cafeteria work. Though new this year, the club has been quite successful. THE LIBRARY CLUB ENTERTAINS GRADE CHILDREN Have you noticed those girls who go scurrying around the library finding reference books for bewildered Freshmen? They are regular little girl scouts and they act under the general heading of Library Club. The club is sponsored by Miss Maier and is composed of Iunior and Senior girls who are interested in library work. These girls learn the whys and wherefores of books from the time they enter the library as new until they take their places on the shelves. They meet once a week to dis- cuss the books they are reading and to arrange bulletin boards in the library. As an extra job they entertained the children at the grade building with stories at Christmas. -55- f.-all Z' --,'- i Z N5 ,sk In , 1 bf 35- ff., ix if ' 'WL 'I 1 iiwigfm 7 Z' J Ne J X Q Q T ' 1 ,-.if 2' Yfmil Q S!

Every student's school life is marked by the eventful football season whether they are playing or whether they are yelling on the side lines. The team starts work a week or so before regular school activities begin. A would-be football player is placed under strict training rules and spends his after-school hours in muscle- building exercises down on the patch of green that represents the playing field. The candidate for the team must use his mind as well as his body to secure passing grades to be eligible for the football squad. To be worthy of the only material reward, that is the much- yearned-for varsity the player must take part in twelve of the total quarters played or play in the letter-game-that is the game with Meyersdale. Although the season of 1939 was not the most vic- torious, the team under the guidance of Coach Saylor and with the help of new football uniforms brought home two victories out of the ten scheduled games. Playing under the flood lights of Iohnstown's Point Stadium, the new football team bowed to Iohnstown Central High to the degree of seven touchdowns and five extra points. Iohnstown's team rolled up a total of 47 points against Somerset's U. In spite of what the score would indicate, the team played a swell game for a team com- prised of only two last year's regulars. After their Iohnstown defeat, the Orange and Black took a back seat as Boswell defeated Somerset for the first time in fifteen years. Although Somerset's greater yard gainage and the fact that the team chalked up eight first downs to Boswell's two, the detracting and subtracting penalties for the team caused it to hand over the game to Boswell to the tune of 6 to U. Forced to play for the first time with an all under-class back- field and with practically no offense, Somerset lost a game to Cone- maugh on September 23 on the home field. Friday, September 29, found the boys fighting against the Bed- ford eleven with much eagerness. Although the game was a close one, the Somerset team was trimmed by the Bedford outfit with the score of 12 to 0. f ,JA .TELLS IT'S STORY -68- October 6 again found the boys in Orange and Black trudging wearily home after the fifth scoreless defeat for Somerset and the third consecutive victory for Shade over the Orange and Black. The team held their own against the enemy bombardment until the fourth quarter when Shade raised their score to 19 points to Somerset's O. The Orange and Black team was again overpowered at the Point Stadium on October 13. The victor was Conemaugh Borough. Although Somerset rooters' hopes reached a zenith late in the third quarter, the ball exchanged hands on downs only one yard from the goal line. Forget and forgive. That is just what several hundred madly cheering Somerset fans did as they watched Bob Speicher lug the glorified pig-skin over the goal line for the first score of the season to beat Hollidaysburg with a score of 5 to U. From that moment in the first quarter when the referee's arms went up for the first time of the season at the enemy's goal, teachers, students and fans forgot and forgave the Orange and Black's six previous defeats in exultation of victory over Hollidaysburg. The scoring points were made in the open- ing minutes of play when the kick-off was received by Somerset on their own 35 yard line. With succession of line drives the ball was carried across the goal line for the first touchdown of the season. Celebrating the second victory of the season, Somerset toppled Huntingdon 7-6 on the Somerset gridiron. Handling a slimy ball and playing on a mud covered field, Lee Coffroth in the middle of the first quarter plunged down the field with Huntingdon men on his heels for an 80-yard run climax by the second touchdown of the season. Somerset made the extra point and counteracted Huntingdon's touch- down by one point. Three times in the third quarter the chances looked good for another Somerset score but the cards were turned and these threats did not strike gold. C0-Captains-Migot, Gurzenda Coach-Saylor AN EIGI-ITY YARD DASH Hold that line. He didn't get far. -69- Dampening the Somerset victories was the set back they re- ceived Friday, November 3, in Westmont's hill-top stadium by that team. Although playing a much heavier and more experienced team. the Somerset boys fought the enemy on equal footing throughout the entire game. Though the hill-topper's two touchdowns were at- tributed to lucky breaks, they marched off with the game with a score of l3 to 6. Armistice Day meant the last and the great tussle of the season -the Meyersdale game. There was little peace-making between the rival teams on the Meyersdale gridiron on that eventful day when the Orange and Black and the Red and Black battled for their re- spective Alma Maters in a fierce skirmish that ended with Meyers- dale the victor by one touchdown. Although the first two quarters offered much entertainment, the game was definitely played in the third and fourth quarters. In the maiden minutes of the third, Somer- set came within a hairs-breath of a touchdown when a Somerset player was stopped two yards short of the goal line after an eight- yard end run. A few minutes later aided by some beautiful blocking, Meyersdale's right halfback tripped 65 yards for the first six points. Somerset's touchdown was gained in the fourth quarter. With a few minutes left to play, Meyersdale made a goal and the game wound up with a lZ-6 victory for the Meyersdale Red and Black. Thus ended the football season for the dear old Orange and Black. Although it was accompanied by many sighs and groans it was also the source of excitement and an output for the over-flowing enthusiasm of Somerset High. Amid victory and defeat Somerset marches on.

Many boys reported for practice to try to capture one of those coveted positions on the team. From these, Coach Saylor de- veloped a great quintet. Although a few games were lost, the scores showed that the opposing team won by only a few points in every case. Coach Saylor's ability and his usual happy attitude was inspira- tion enough. for the boys. Mr. Yevak was the coach of the successful Iunior Varsity. Mr. Schrock likewise brought Somerset's B team through a very successful season. From the way the boys in these two organizations played this year we should have a very good team for years to come. Somerset started out a successful season by trimming the faculty 35 to 2l. The teachers may have the upper hand in the classroom but on the basketball floor, well . . . ! Somerset next journeyed to Iohns- town to play the boys from the city. The Central High team proved too much for them and they ended up on the short end of a 30-15 score. Next 'Somerset walked all over Somerset Township with two high scoring victories. On our own floor the Varsity beat Boswell to the tune of 22-20. But they received a surprise thumping on Boswell's own small gym. Bedford came to Somerset and returned home with a vic- tory chalked up in their favor. After this game our team seemed to have a streak of bad luck and it was defeated by both Conemaugh Town- ship and Windber in two hard fought encounters. Seeking revenge for these two defeats, our boys walked all over Berlin. Excellent shooting rang up a high score for Somerset. Meyersdale next proved an easy prey for the scalpers from S. H. S. Conemaugh Township, the county champs, copped a victory by beating the Orange and Black 24-21. The next Friday night Somerset again jumped into the 'winning column by defeating Bedford 28-16. For the first time in two years Somerset's basketball team defeated Westmont by a score of 30-20. After lead- ing for almost 30 minutes, the Somerset cagers finally fell to defeat at the hands of a strong Win er quintet, Shade Township received a surprise walloping from o oys. The season ended in victory for Somerset when the ol l, Meyersdale, succumbed to the Varsity. fill-V N' 42fbufA TELLS 3 Mr. Yvvzlk, and Mr. Kvrin 1-nnlklr. Y STORY f by , -72 XM! Mr. S4-hrm-li, Mr, Snylm The freshmen and sophomore boys had their chance in basketball too. The B team, composed of about thirty freshmen and sophomores, played the junior high school teams of our district and some of the weaker junior varsity teams. Some of the boys who showed up well and who will provide good material for next year's teams Were: Bob Morocco, Lewis Morocco, Bob Iudy, Carl Friedhoffer, Iohn Tall, and Bob Snyder. The season opened with a victory for Somerset of 23-12 over Hoov- ersville. Although Somerset Township beat our team by five points in the first game, we encountered them again and defeated them. Our next match was with Cochran High. After a hard battle they managed to make a win of two points. Bedford was our next victory and then came a loss by five points to Conemaugh Township. The next two games-Berlin and Everett-were easily taken. Our second encounter with Conemaugh Township proved to be another loss, but only by three points this time. Ioseph Iohns took us with a wide margin but We con- quered Cochran in our second game and Bedford lost to us again. Everett proved too hard for us in our second fight with them. Our final game, like our first game, was a 21-12 victory over Berlin. All in all the B team had a very successful year with eight victories and six losses. The purpose of this team was to build material for our varsity and junior varsity teams. Their practice after school under the direction of Mr. Paul Schrock and their experience in games with other schools helped them to attain this goal. --73- Rmv 1-Shaulis, Klein Blades, Nicholson. so , llITIll'l'H2l , 1 o l'mw-0, Tipton.

Somerset volleyball teams have entered all state tourna- ments since l937 as District 5 champions and, although the teams have not carried off the highest honors, they rank high among the other volleyball teams throughout the state. The Somerset team has made a splendid showing in all county events and placed third in Penn- sylvania in l938-39-4U. ln the District 5 tournament, our team did not lose a single game, defeating Boswell in the finals l5-3, 15-4, l5-5. 1940 VOLLEYBALL LETTER-MEN Ziggie Kozlosky Walter Cyga Ward Houpt Andy Beluschak Fred Croyle William Weyand Martin Migot Iohn Bielski Eugene Kendall lMgr.l Telford Whipperman Alex Beluschak A.

Mr. Kerin was hard. put to find a place for all of the boys who reported for mush- ball. In the Senior League, Room 209 carried off the championship by defeating Room 220. The Iuniors from Room ll2 defeated Room 212, runner-up. In the Sophomore League Room ll4 Wrested the cham- pionship from Room 223. The Freshmen champions came from Room 22, While Room 207 came off second best. After the mushball tournament, soccer came in for its share of participation. When the chill Winds of fall and winter begin to blow, soccer gives way to basketball. Boys who can handle the ball exceptionally well try out for Varsity and Iunior Varsity While the remainder take part in intramural basketball. With the final completion of the tennis courts, tennis has become a recognized activity in Somerset High. Recently, another sport, wrestling, has been added to the athletic program with increasing favor.

They are only the girls in their new field hockey shin guards. Although this game was introduced in Somerset High last year by Miss Weber, it has been further developed this year with the ar- rival of much new equipment. The new equipment consists of shin guards for players and large padded guards for the goal keepers. Field hockey is played on the upper end of the football field. This year tournaments were played at noon by teams formed in the different gym classes. Although new to most of the girls, this game promises to become one of the major girls' sports of our high school. Another game enjoyed out-of-doors by the girls is mushball. There are regular courts for this game and here the weaker sex proves thai not only boys can pitch fast balls and bat home runs. Tennis also has a high ranking position among the girls' favorite sports, and when the weather permits, the courts are filled to over- flowing with enthusiastic players. Miss Weber has stressed the ability to play individualistic games in which only a few players compete. After leaving school the girls will have few chances for playing group games such as mushball and basketballg therefore the girl who plays cr good game of tennis is fortunate indeed. When the weather changes and the physical education classes are prevented from playing out-of-doors, the upper classmen take up captain ball in earnest while the Freshmen learn the ins and outs of kickball. Following captainball season, basketball is played. This is prob- ably the most competitive of all the games played by the girls. Tour- .-ldl TELLS mrs STORY -73.. Senior- lmsketlizill l'il2lH1l7.UHr1 -lllliffrl' lil li Ylllll fl lllll ltrwkc-y proves hzlrrl work naments are played at noon, and many shouts ot delight and groans of dismay issue from the gymnasium at this time. This year the win- ning teams ot various classes competed with teams from other schools. After basketball season this year, strains ot music were heard in the gymnasium as the girls danced the polka, Virginia Reel, and Highland Fling. They also turned Indian tor a tow week: and Whooped to the tom-tom beats ot the Indian war dance. Everyone found these graceful exercises to be great tun and a source of enjoyment. The indoor season is ended with volleyball playing and as spring comes around again all the girls are glad to trip outside and play the games reserved to the great out-ot-doors. The girls have always enjoyed equal privileges with the boys in the gym. Tournaments among home rooms are the outstanding events in the average girl's athletic school lite. Each class has a separate tournament in which teams from the home rooms in that class may compete. Because ot keen competition between rooms, sometimes the whole home room turn: out to cheer its team. The cham- pions ot the tournaments are presented with letters, and cooperation between players' of the team is needed to gain a reward . The physi- cal education classes give the girls practice for playing these com- petitive games. Many ditterent elements are produced in the lower southwestern department oi the school. It one is feeling down and out and in need ot some fun and frolic, the correct place to go is to the gym. Here one can play for fun or play for glory, and good health and enthusiasm are guaranteed, accompanied by sportsmanship.
