The American citizen who serves his country best has a Wide general knowledge that enables him to form intelligent opinions on the issues of the day. He has a special- ized knowledge of the facts and skills that permit him to carry on the occupation of his choosing. He pursues some worthwhile interest as a form of relaxation from the daily grind of work. He keeps himself physically fit, for Without health he cannot have true happiness. ln addition to these more tangible qualities of citizenship, he possesses those other unseen spiritual traits, such as honesty, charity, consideration, and loyalty. ff? , Wi . his 1 ,xgtxl ,l :IX di, 1, 1 1 , di egepceac fn ogejree , F .

Gnagev Dr. Homer Hay Supervising Principal BOARD OF EDUCATION Our school board is composed of a group of five public-spirited citizens who sacrifice part of their time to devote their energies to keeping our school on top . The duties of the board are many and varied. lt carefully selects our administrative heads and our faculty, fixes salaries, plans our curriculum, and authorizes all expenditures for new school equipment. The new bleachers, which have proved so indispensable to our gym- nasium, were purchased by the board this year. The members are always in sympathy with any plan that will keep our high school modern and up to the minute. Working quietly behind the scenes, they strive unceasingly for the good oi the school, and in so doing stand before us as examples of good citizens. To them we express our appreciation. -V ta R Clif' ADMINISTRATION xf 4 Dr. Hay's tact and underslanding in solving our problems have not been developed by Working for usp Dr. Hay Works with us. His door is always open to us, and he is never too busy to listen to the smallest request. As he helps us to select our course of study, We particularly realize how fortunate we are to receive the help his Wide experience enables him to give. Dr. Hay is a real lover of democracy, and he Works hand in hand with our stu- dent organizations to produce better students and better Americans. Mr. Griffith has never told us which is more exacting-a day in the army or a day at Somerset High School. If we enter the office after school hours we always find Mr. Griffith still on the job. It is his task to make a thousand of us into ladies and gentlemen, and our relations with him may be very strained after some misdemeanor. However his nod and friendly grin as we meet in the hall soon put us back on ct good neighbor footing.

H. S. up to that time. Al- though we were busy the rest of the year getting used to our environment we took time out to present a very in- teresting assembly program. As sophomores we settled down to work. Not only did we sell candy at football and basketball games, but we slaved two whole days in the cafe- teria over teachers' institute. We de- lighted the whole school with our never-to-be-forgotten mock wedding. And I know the seniors enjoyed them- selves immensely at the Sophomore- Senior Dance, even if the deck of the S. S. Good Time had a bad habit of collapsing. The following year talent from our class became quite outstanding in the operetta, assembly programs, and in athletics. The crowning event for 1940 was the Iunior Prom. This year, 1941, we have been busier than ever. There have been the Rotary Club, Eaglet, Captain Apple- jack, and, oh, so many things. In the spring we shall bid farewell to our many activities when we dance at the Iunior-Senior Prom to the strains of the lovely music of the Somerset High School Swing Orchestra.

Those were busy days for every senior, with a practice for this and that scheduled every night. But they all dropped every care and worry on the night of the Soph- omore-Senior Dance and the Iunior Prom. The sophomores staged a modern blitzkreig on the gym, and the result was a stately military ball. The guests danced under a patriotic canopy of red, white and blue, and flags, can- nons, and a huge eagle completed the decorations. The juniors took us south of the border to a gala Mexican festival. A false ceiling of bright colors was sus- pended from the top of the gym, and cacti sprung up magically from the floor. The seniors' farewell assembly program Was a riot of fun that every one enjoyed. The past, the present, and the future of Somerset High School Seniors was presented in burlesque fashion by their most clever actors. Then came move-up day, with the seniors parading in one room and out the other, singing Where, oh where are the grand old Seniors? It was difficult to keep the end and the head of the line in the same key, but they struggled on bravely. Baccalaureate and commence- ment Were in a more serious vein. Baccalaureate was a solemn, impres- sive service as the seniors worshipped with parents and friends. The com- mencement pageant presented the his- tory of music in Somerset Borough schools. It is interesting to note the cost of sending a graduating class out into the world. This year approximately S240 was spent for diplomas, and S220 was spent for caps and gowns. S50 for flowers and other incidentals brought the total to 5510. When the Seniors graduated, they carried with them the realization that commencement was only the begin- ning of a new and longer term in the school of life. l 25 THE IUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President - - LEROY SAYERS Vice-Prc-sident - BILL COLLINS Secretary - - SARA GRIFFITH Treasurer - - ROBERT REED LOOKS FORWARD TO NEW GOALS Yes, the Iuniors are really in there carrying the ball. From the time the first bell rang to begin the school year, the Iunior class has been scoring point after point. Iunior boys held many of the star berths on the football team, and Iuniors contributed the punch that enabled our basketball squad to come through with a successful season. Prominent, too, were Iuniors in volleyball and track. The teams had behind them all the pep and vim that this enthusiastic class could offer. In the field of entertainment as well, the class was outstanding. Raspberry Red, presented before the assemblies, brought to light plenty of the talent that will be needed for next year's Senior class play. The band would find it hard going without the wind reserves of its Iunior members, and Mr. Van Vorst will testify to the lung power of our members'in his choruses. The outstanding social event of any school year is, of course, the Iunior Prom. Encouraged by the success of our last year's dance, we are setting out to make the prom of 1941 the best ever. And when the final night arrives our hopes and expectations are sure to be fulfilled. In the setting of Old Mexico, senors and senoritas will have a never-to-be-forgotten gay time. With all these achievements be- hind us, we of the Iunior class look forward with our able president, Leroy Sayers, and his assistants, Bill Collins, Sara Griffith, and Bob Reed, to our last year of high school life with a determi- nation to do our best. s Ss' MRA ' '12, ' ' il U i 3 I ' YZ- X 1? sz M 5, X Wx Mk' an sf' vu- 1 7 - 1 A - A , 5 ' ' ' 5' 'E GF' di is 4 'S Q V , .. 065: 1 f QQ A if A X' 34 .

Byg ood behavior and active participation in school activities, their service stripes have piled up. As is true in every army, the kids got promoted to second-lieuten- ants. Since they are no longer rookies. more is expected of them. They have lived up to this expectation and have become an outstanding division of our school life. Minor encounters in the forms of traditional duties have prepared the army for its first major attack. The institute dishes were stormed by these eager youngsters. They retreated in victory. As buck privates they served mess to the hungry football fans. After much drill and preparation a major attack upon the school body Was tried in the form of the Sophomore-Senior dance. The dancers rallied mid burst- ing bombs, and air raids. Tiny kites in our national colors served as appropi- ate invitations. Never before has our red, White, and blue been displayed so spectacularly and fittingly. No Tro- jan horses in their corp betrayed the idea until the appointed hour. Some of our most entertaining and enjoyable assembly programs have been supported by these Sophomores. With three more years of service ahead of them, they appointed Neal Sellers their chief of staff. He is advised and aided by Miriam Shaulis, Willa Snyder, and Arlene Horner. Here's our wish for their success and victory in the encounters to come. Z9 '-'-' THE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President - - - BOB MORIN Vice-President - IIMMY CRITCHFIELD Secretary - - DOROTHY GRIFFITH P Treasurer - - - IOE SMITH LEARNS THROUGH SERVICE Are you looking for pep? Ask the Freshmen, they've got it. Do you want a lively crowd at your party? Invite the Freshmeng they'll brighten things up. Even last year on Move-up Day we began to notice it when as eighth graders they set the school on its ear with their snappy songs and yells. Outstanding this year was the way in which the various shades of green became more and more subdued, and the cries of Out of my way, freshie! and l'One side, small fry! faded away in a genuine admiration of the talents and achievements of the Freshman class. The Freshman circus was the cause of a great deal of admiration, not only because it showed the Fresh at their best as clowns, comedians, skaters, strong men, singers, bulls, and bullfighters, but also because in man- aging it they showed a canny business sense which will be increasingly val- uable to them as high school life moves on. In their assembly programs, too, this class showed promise of fine things to come in the entertainment field. Numbered among the 255 Fresh- men are talented musicians, many ol them already prominent in the band and orchestra. Their athletes are out- standing in intramural sports and on the Iunior Varsity. We expect good work from them too. Yes, after their success under Pres- ident Bob Morin aided by Iimmy Critchfield, Ioe Smith and Dorothy Griffith, the Freshman class faces the prospect of three of the best years in Somerset High School's history. 30 RONV lfliuluurhzxl-t.

From stories you have read you are sure a herd of buffalo is approaching. Sud- denly, something scoots under your army then you are surrounded, it is the eighth grade on its way. The eighth grade has been well represented at all of our dances this year. Its members are not the shy, bashful boys and girls we used to be. They are ready for anything when they take a big step and enter high school. Their courses are scheduled, and they are ready to breeze past the greenie stage. Already some of them are becoming quite adept in the art of cheerleading. Many of them belong to the band and orchestra. They are ac- tive in clubs, home room activities and many take part in Mr. Van Vorst's choruses. To this group of newcomers, we extend a hearty welcome, and look for- ward to the deeds they will accom- plish in the future. SEVENTH GRADE What's the rush? inquires an outsider as he enters the doors of S. H. S. He doesn't know ibut how well we dol that if anyone could possibly be in more of a rush than the eighth graders, it would have to be the sev- enth graders. The pupils in this class entered the doors of S. H. S. for the first time this year. Unlike the upperclassmen, they tear headlong to their classes. The gym seems to attract them particularly, and woe be unto the person that gets into their way while going to gym class. The size of the seventh graders seems to decrease every year, physical size, of course. This year some of them are so small that the outsider says, I didn't know there were midgets in Somerset. Although they are small, they are mighty. They make up one of the best cheering sections in the school, and future cheerleaders are already in the making. Many of them are quite smooth dancers and attend all the school activities. Looking forward, we can visual- ize a bright future for these young- sters in whom there is so much en- thusiasm.

CAPTAIN APPLEIACKU l'Captain Applejack, An Arabian Nights' Adventure were the words that first met our eyes as We scanned our senior class play programmes. But behind the forceful adventurous per- formance lay months of hard Work. On the evening of December 19, we nervously stepped on the brilliant- ly lighted stage and struggled through our tryouts. The following day every- one gathered eagerly to learn the an- nouncement of the casts. The leads had been won by Paul Martz and David Brashear as Ambroseg THE SENIORS PRODUCE AN ANNUAL PLAY and Velma Ogline and Nancy Griffith as Anna. They were supported by the following people: Lush--lack Brauch- er, Merle Stahl, Poppy-Sarah Ruth Kossack, Mildred Ream, Aunt Agatha- Mary Townsend, Ethel Saylerg Mrs. Pengard-Pauline D'Amico, Iean An- tonaccig Pengard-Roy Nicholson. Iarnes Dullg Bowlsky-Iames Casey, Dick Welshg Palmer-Vivian Berkebile. Mae lean Picking, Dennet-Hubert Ling, Ralph Smithg Iason-Merle Bar- ron, Claude Bowlin. The rehearsals were not all Work. One night our diction suffered greatly when one of our thoughtful members set an electric corn popper in opera- tion backstage. When the stage fixtures and pro- perties were first used, they presented a real problem to us. The secret panel refused to open at the proper times, Now who wishes to be the first to follow him to hell? What? Have you lost your taste for mutiny? rugs clutched at our feet persistently, and heavy trays were not easily bal- anced. The stately old English door at right harbored a vicious grudge against Dave, and it tipped over twice as he stood innocently before it. How- ever hostilities soon ceased, and things went smoothly. Miss Miles and Miss Sipe coached us patiently night after night, and Miss Snyder was al- way on hand to keep properties from getting lost or broken. At last, after two and a half months of preparation, the eventful nights of March 13 and 14 arrived. As the orchestra finished the overture and the curtain rose, hearts beat rapidly behind the walls of the old English manor house. But when We stepped out before our capacity crowds, we were surprised and relieved to find that it was after all, only one more re- hearsal of Captain Applejackf' Little Pengard! And Mrs. Pengard S you are in this too, are you? THE LATIN PLAY The purpose of the Latin plays was to prove to us that most ot our English vocabulary is derived from Latin. Twenty-two pupils took part in the Latin program. Two plays were given, and the Dance of the Vestal Virgins was enacted. The most intriguing per- formance on the program was the im- personations of famous Roman people by pupils who were painted white and made to appear as marble statues. The profits from the show were spent in buying twelve copies of tam- ous paintings and three picture frames. If you wish to see these just drop into Miss Truxal's room. This program is given every tour years by the Latin department of Som- erset High School. Even though the Dance and the plays were excellent, most of the town people who have seen the performance have given the statues the most praise as they are truly superior. x PAGEANT AND OPERETTA The last supreme achievement that the Seniors ever put over together is the commencement program. For the past two years an original pageant in- stead of a speaker has been presented. This pageant is made up and writ- ten especially tor this occasion by a committee of faculty members and seniors. Every senior takes part in the program. Last year the pageant was The American Way of Life. It was de- veloped trom the question: What Does American Democracy Mean to Me? The three parts were headed Our Heritage, America Today, and Our Hope for the Future. Between scenes variety was add- ed by two choruses-the speaking chorus and the senior chorus. The former presented several well-known poems in keeping with the subject. The senior chorus admirably rendered Balad For Americans. The Seniors of 1941 are enthusi- astically looking forward to producing their commencement pageant this year. It is entitled The History and Develop- ment of Music in the Somerset Schools. One ot the events of the school year that the students as well as the public always looked forward to was the operetta. Due to a crowded sche- dule in 1941 an operetta was not given. Mr. Van Vorst and Miss Miles have always taken an active part in direct- ing and helping to make our oper- etta a success. Many of our talented seniors as well as other upper class- men participated in these big events each year and many pleasant mem- ories of those happy times remain. THE CHORUSES DEVELOP THE PUWER OF EXPRESSION Somerset High School's depart- ment of vocal music is under the di- rection of Mr. Iohn A. Van Vorst. The three main divisions of the department are-Mixed Chorus, Boys' Chorus, and Girls' Chorus. They have been active both in regularity of rehearsals and in public performances. Aside from these, a girls' duet, a trio, and a mixed sex- tette have appeared on the programs for banquets and club meetings both in school and in town. lust as music soothes the soul so does it soften some of our loudest and huskiest voices to harmonize with the others. When one hears them sing- ing one really wonders that they are the same students that we hear yell- ing from one end of the hall to the other. The Girls' Chorus enjoys singing on Thursdays during club period and on Tuesdays during last period. The number of members in this organiza- tion has been increased from sixty- five to one hundred and thirty. The girls entertain the student body as well as the public with their joyful songs and melodious voices. On April l they presented to the public the Cantata Penitence, Pardon, and Peace, by Maurder. With the help of Dr. Roth, who led the devotions, the cantata was a great success. The girls, on April 5, had the privilege of singing at Berlin for the All-County Festival. Some of the numbers they have rendered are: The Two C1ocks, A Mexican Serenade and Nursery Rhymes. The Mixed Chorus is the largest of the three groups. Both girls and boys meet on Wednesdays and Fri- days for rehearsal where they work on four-part music. The number of this organization has been increasing steadily until it has reached the total of one hundred and thirty-five. The Mixed Chorus took an active part in the Christmas Chimes Program. They sang several anthems and carols in the first part of the choir in the play, Why the Chimes Rang. piiuu Girl! Chorus Bnvs Chorus lN llwd Chorus Some of the pieces they have mastered are Sanctus, and My Heart Is a Silent Violin. The Boys' Chorus is the smallest of the three, but is no less outstanding for great things come in small pack- ages. As we pass the study on Tues- days, second period, We can hear these boys blending their voices in very me- lodious harmony. Each year the stu- dent body looks forward to the per- formance in assembly in which this group sings. This year the boys have devoted their time to school songs, southern melodies, and novelty pieces. They also sang for the Somerset Rotary Club. From these choruses a few were selected to sing for the All-County Musical Festival Concert which Was held on the evenings of April fourth and fifth at Davidsville and Berlin. THE BAND DEVELOPS APPRECIATION The Somerset High School Band has exactly one hundred members. Thirty-two of these are girls, and sixty-eight are boys. Under the able direction of Mr. Stineman l Pop to the musiciansl these hundred students comprise one of the best high school bands in the state. Every student's heart leaps with pride to see this grand organization, led by David Brashear, Louise Coffroth, and Mary lane Fichtner as drum major and drum majorettes, going through its various drills on the football field and elsewhere. The band is a familiar sight at football games, basketball games, and pep meetings. It has won many honors and prizes, and each year sends members to the Southwestern and State Band Festivals of the P. S. M. A. The following Seniors have attended the S. W. B. fes- tival: Mae lean Picking, David Brashear, Iarnes Dull, Donald Iones, Iack Baker, and Ianet Baker. The band has also been fortunate in having two members, Mae lean Picking and David Brashear, attend the All-State Band. 42 THE ORCHESTRA To listen to the orchestra before re- hearsal has started every Monday cmd Thursday morning one would wonder how the kids. could be tamed down enough to play any classical music. But eventually, the strings, reeds, and brass tune to the E, A, D, G, and B flat of the piano and settle down to real work. Mr. Stineman can really dish it out. In the midst of a lovely strain, a stray note is heard- what, those clarinets again? This year has presented a nearly perfect symphonic balance in the or- chestra, as thirty out of the fifty-one members are string players. Mr. Stine- man has hoped for four years to have an all-string orchestra, a high school phenomenon. At last, he has enough material to start one next year. Never before has any S. H. S. orchestra boast- ed five cellos. The pit orchestra is always ready to play for the class play, operetta, commencement, baccalaureate, and special concerts. This year popular music was presented for the first time for the class play. Pop Stineman and the orchestra were proud of their five co-members who represented them at the South- western Orchestra in Ieannette. Two of these musicians were seniors. One player, Mae lean Picking, a senior, re- presented S. H. S. at the State Orches- tra in Erie. ...ii 43 --1 THE EAGLET BUSINESS STAFF Without our indispensable busi- ness stall under the guiding hand ol Mr. Wagner, the literary staff of the Eaglet would be quite helpless, and there would be no yearbook. The efficient business manager is David Brashear who is ably assisted by Paul Martz, Iames Dull, Iames Casey, Merle Barron, Helen Yancey, Mary Grace Glessner, and Sara Ruth Kossack. Robert Stahl, a junior, who will be next year's business manager, has also been an able worker. The main duty of this stall is to collect money for the literary staff to spend. This year the business staff has had to show special ingenuity as there is no paid advertising. The work of the staff starts early in the year and does not end till the books are given out. One of their most troublesome duties is to collect year- book payments from the pupils who want books, but usually forget their money when it is due. And so, these are the people and the Work they do to help make the yearbook possible. LEFT TO RIGHT- ousel, Nloqnrt, Stahl, l lx q Q p N l goth, Bzirkman, Ream, I OUR JOURNALISTS IN THE MAKING We hate to brag, but the yearbook this year surpasses all others! Look who put it out-the great literary staff under the direction of Mrs. Horner, and composed of eight marvelously talent- ed members. Our editor is Merle Stahl, and his Willing helpers are Mae Iean Picking, Dorothy Mognet, Lucille Bark- man, Robert Simpson, R. L. Ritenour, Lloyd Housel, and Nancy Neilan. George Roth is the Iunior Class repre- sentativeg We are sure he will make a splendid editor next year. These mem- bers are chosen from seniors who vol- unteered to work on the staff. This staff has the responsibility of collecting snap-shots, scribbling write- ups. and composing the book as attrac- tively as possible. Mr. Kline is a great help here because of his designing ability, and discreet advice in picking the cover. Even though our literary ex- perience is limited, perhaps you will enjoy our efforts, and, since some of our staff members have a sense of hu- mor, maybe there will be a chuckle or two included.

The members who repre- sent each class meet once a week to discuss problems that arise in school. This year a number of the mem- bers represented our council at a state- wide convention held in Greensburg. When they returned from Greensburg. they were full of ideas and, since then, they have been working hard on new plans. Their goal is to establish a new constitution, a student activities ticket, and a handbook for every stu- dent. NATION.-tl, HONOR SOCILTX The National Honor Society is the highest order into which any high school student can be inducted. As the name implies, it is a nation-Wide or- ganization. Each class has a total of 15 per cent of its students elected to the National Honor Society. The stu- dents inducted are chosen by the votes of all the teachers. They are rated on their scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In a very solemn service, they take their vows, and then re- ceive certificates and emblems. At present the student officers are: David Brashear, presidentg Dorothy Mognet, vice-presidentp Mae lean Pick- ing, secretary, Miss Long, treasurer. The faculty sponsors are Miss Long, Miss Snyder, and Mr. Lloyd. ORGANIZATIONS S.O. Of all courses offered in S. H. S. journalism is one of the most exten- sive. It covers everything from sales- manship to art. Its main job is pub- lishing the S. O. S. fScoops of Somer- setl every two weeks. You can find almost anything in this school paper- news, special features, cuts, pictures and ads. Those signs that grace the office entrance before each issue, and the cuts that are found in nearly every paper are the handiwork of Mary lane Nehls. The pictures are nearly always snapped by that candid camera fan, George Roth. Mildred Ream, editor, is always very busy trying to fit an article on page three or making Royden Shaulis' sport articles fit on page six. S.STAFF Dorothy Mognet is responsible for all the ads. She has quite a time mak- ing figures check. - When you hear typewriters click- ing fast and furiously it's a good bet either Nancy Sellers, Elaine Farling or Margaret Casebeer is around. They are the typing managers. Other members of the staff are Betty Walters, Donald Langley, Betty Romesburg, Henry Koch, Betty Lowry, Mary lane Fichtner, Pauline Bailey. Louvenia Adams, Alan Smith, Ruth Bell, Betty Muller, A. I. Mock and Dor- othy Walker. The sponsor is Mrs. Martha Sipe Meyer. FIRST ROW-Shaulis, Romesburg, Ream. Nehls, Walters, Mognet.

The members of the club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Meyer, have been making baby quilts from material give to them by the Somerset organization of the Red Cross. They pay dues to furnish the cotton and yarn for the quilts. So far they have made six quilts, which are being sent to war-torn England. Once a month the club has a program from material taken from the Iunior Red Cross Magazine. THE TRAVEL CLUB COVERS THE MILES IN BOOKS loin the Travel Club and see the world with Miss Snyder and her mem- bers every Thursday. Their aims are 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 their thoughts. During the week the club reads magazines and newspapers to discuss during club periods. The club has had the pleasure of hearing interesting speakers who have travelled to foreign lands. The members belong to the International Student Forum on International Rela- tions. THE LIBRARY CLUB RENDERS SERVICE The Library Club is one of the more practical school clubs. Their sponsor is Miss Maier, our librarian. Betty Mullen is president, Mary lane Eichtner is vice-president, and Edith Baker is secretary-treasurer. The thirty odd members of the club all take part during their meetings in discussing the overdue book question. One of their pleasantest jobs is to break in new books which have been ordered by Miss Maier. They also mend and re- pair old books, and tix cards for the new books. Girls of the Library Club help Miss Maier during class periods by stamping books, and making and sending out overdue book lists. CLUBS EXPAND EXPERIENCE LIBRARY CLUB Campbell. Far-ling. Casebecr. I.

Weekly meetings are held and members are given actual experience in the use of parliamentary procedure. A delegate was sent to the annual State Association meeting which was held at Harrisburg in Ianuary. Plans are being made to enter the annual County F. F. A. judging contests to be held in May. The chapter also held the annual Father-Son banquet with an attend- ance of 125 fathers and sons. A county basketball tournament was sponsored by the Somerset Chap- ter, the contestants being from the Ber- lin, Shade Township, Boswell, Stony- creek, Conemaugh Township, Meyers- dale and Somerset Chapters. THE IUNIOR MECHANICS CLUB The Iunior Mechanics Club of Som- erset High School is composed of boys who are interested in making articles which they do not have time to make in their shop periods. The club meets regularly every Thursday and some- times has special meetings in the eve- nings. The boys make tables, book stands, stools, bookends, checker boards, and many other useful things. They have also shown a very good account of their talents by making stage settings for the Senior class play and other stage performances. Mr. Speicher is the sponsor of the club. RIFLE CLUB Bang! Bang! No, it isn't the fourth of Iuly. It is the Rifle Club target prac- ticing in the basement. The twenty- five members meet every Thursday un- der the supervision of Mr. Lloyd. The club was divided into two teams to compete in different contests, such as: The National Rifle Association: Bi- Weekly Matches, Hearst Newspaper Matches: Postal Matches with Sunny- brook School, Long Island, New York, Blackfoot High School, Idaho, and Conemaugh High School. The aim of the club is to produce better riflemen. Officers are: President, Leroy Sayers: secretary, Kore Kaufman: treasurer, Ralph Smith, and Range Ofifcer, Ralph Smith. Ref! ROW- l-Pucci. Yuunkin.

Almost every day we see boys rushing through the halls with movie equipment for showing educa- tional features to different classes. Twice yearly they sponsor pay movies which are welcomed by all the stu- dents. Only licensed operators, of which there are several, may run the machines. Besides taking pictures, they develop their own shots. TREE CLUB Among the seventh and eighth grades, the Tree Club, as sponsored by Mr. Cleeves, is one of the most popu- lar clubs. Its members study ways of identitfying the different types of trees. and the insects which are associated wtih these trees. They have projects which consist of raising shrubs and l small trees from seeds. These small plants are transplanted to the school lawn. This year they have grown and transplanted grape hyacinths and jon- quils. SENIOR DRAMATICS CLUB The Senior Dramatics Club is a very important club in S. H. S. An- nually it presents a Christmas play for the benefit of both students and the public. This year it helped to present the Armistice Day program. In the operetta and senior class play, it is represented in both the cast and back-stage workers. As experts on make-up, club members are invaluable aids in producing the numerous plays presented in assemblies. Miss Miles is the able and well- liked sponsor. Audrey Christner, Donna Lee Dunlap, and Elaine McVay are president, vice president, and secre- tary, respectively. li. E!! PHO'I'UPI.AY CLUB Rhmics, Bowlin, Shuulls, Tav- lnr, Meyerw, Hogan. Pucul.

The boys become thoroughly acquainted with the rules of all sports, and 'they are very much in demand as referees and scorekeepers for intramural games at noontime. The club gives a boy an opportunity to become a heavy hitter or high score man. All the members are boys Who live outside the borough and do not have any coaching in sports included in their school program. IUNIOR DRAMATICS CLUB The Iunior Dramatics Club attempts to give the freshmen and sophomores practical experience in dramatics. They have received this experience by pre- senting entertaining programs in as- sembly. Every members has been in at least one program this year. Besides working out plays, the club members also engage in contests concerning movie stars and others. Mrs. Sipe Meyer instructs her pupils in these plays. KNITTING CLUB Purpose: To teach the junior high school girls to knit the simple stitches. This club, under the able guidance of Miss Meyers, has accomplished a diffi- cult task-that of completing three afghans for the American, Red Cross. The yarn for the afghans was donated by patrons of the school. Miss Anne Muller of the art center aided the club in assembling and designing the blankets. The knitting club has made several trips to the art center to see the Work that was displayed there. Ba Mnsser. Messina, Casey OFFICERS-STANDING-Roth, Zimmerman OFFICERS-Glessner.

The students in the Chemistry Club do many experiments that are very inter- esting as well as educational. This club is a member of the national or- ganization, The Student Science Clubs of America. Both physics and chem- istry students are numbered among its members. It is under the direction of Mr. Wagner who teaches both of these subjects. New inventions have been discussed when special reports have been given on them. More power to you-future chemists. THE IUNIOR HIGH DRAMATICS CLUB The Iunior High Dramatics Club makes an attempt to foster confidence through self-expression. This club has a membership of forty seventh and eighth grade studentsl A weekly pro- gram is arranged by committees of members, and each member has been encouraged to exercise self-expression in some form or other. Nowhere in the halls of Somerset High School is there a more enthusiastic or co-operative group of workers. RADIO CLUB It is always fun to spend an eve- ning by the radio, but not many young people can tune in so expertly as the members of the radio club. They have an opportunity to become familiar with the best radio programs of all types. The club periods are spent in discuss- ing favorite radio programs and work- ing on the club scrapbook. Armed with scissors and paste, the members stage a'blitzkreig on radio magazines and newspapers. Amateur radio pro- grams are broadcast to the four cor- ners ot Room ll4, nearly every Thurs- day at 10:55. During one assembly the entire school tuned in on a very en- tertaining broadcast, given by the members of this club. in iIIIIiMI5'I'RY llI,IIIS Ncllan. Mussvr. Roth, Recd. Mr. Wagrxcr. Fixhrr, Dnv.

Some of these are bowling, paddle tennis, tennis, badminton, horseshoe, and table tennis. USHERS' CLUB Have you ever tried to find a seat in a crowded auditorium, in the dark? This is one of the problems that has been solved by the Ushers' Club. For three years th.ey have ushered at the Senior class plays, operettas, and other social activities. Under the in- struction of Mr. Van Vorst, this group ot girls has helped immensely in the seating problem. The Ushers' Club will always be an asset to our school. TYPING CLUB Clickety Click! Clickety Click! This is what one hears as he passes the typing lab on Thursday, third period. Many busy typists use this period to the best of their advantage learning the keyboard and working up speed. The club is composed ot students rang- ing from freshman to seniors. They are usually boys and girls that have a crowded schedule during the week and cannot squeeze typing in as a solid.

These boys help to park cars and direct traffic at all school functions. They also usher at athletic games. As a reward for their duties they are given a free movie pass for every Friday during the school year. They sell candy at basketball games to earn money for their annual trip to Washington, D. C. CHEERLEADING CLUB Rah! Rah! Rah! Yes, you guessed right-it's our cheerleaders. Most of this noise comes from the stage or in the gym when the club has rehearsal. Last fall Mr. Stineman organized this club, and it has proved to be a suc- cess. Some of the eighth graders have joined, so the future cheerleaders are in the making. At all of the foot- ball games and basketball games, these girls have been indispensable. Good luck girls! I-l'ere's three cheers for you-Rah! Rah! Rah! SWING ORCHESTRA As we passed the door of the band room one morning in Ianuary, we were surprised to hear the tricky rhythms and catching melodies of mod- ern swing coming from the room. That was the beginning of the school's swing orchestra. This group of swing artists sets our feet to jitterbugging at the dime dances and entertains us in assembly. At the Iunior Garden Club dance each of the sixteen members ap- peared in a spotless white jacket and formal bow tie, with a gleaming orange sash around his waist. The or- chestra plays from smart metal stands, covered with blue flock and decorated with stripes of powder blue and a cream emblem. l'A'I'RtIL ROXV l 4 'l'ulc'nlxu. llmtxlt Ymtulxtn, Rxtcuour, Ktmmcl.

WRESTLING CLUB The Wrestling Club, introduced two years ago, has progressed very rapidly under the supervision of Mr. Paul Schrock, and has grown into an interscholastic sport. The team, being new and inexperienced, failed to win any of its five duel meets. However, much is expected from it next year as all letter men will be back. Of the five duel meets two were with Boswell, two with Conemaugh Twp., and one with Bedford. The district meet was held at Bedford. S. H. S. was repre- sented by an eight man team. Wily Iohn Whipkey captured the 85 lb. crown and Stuart fBonecrusherl Shipe came in second in the heavy-weight class. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB In order to keep in step with the march of passing events, the twenty- five members of the Current Events Club, under the able direction of Mr. Deitz, spend their club periods in dis- cussing the happenings of the week concerning which they have read from their favorite magazines. They have read and discussed the book, Stand Griffith, Cage. Lint, Meye Fast for Freedom. Of course, the war in Europe makes an excellent topic for study, said Mr. Deitz. If we take a look at the club's bulletin board, we find it in good use-posted there are maps, pictures, and articles that refer to events in the world of news. The members also make scrap books. S CLUB The members of the S Club are very active throughout the year. To be eligible for membership the prospective boy must receive the varsity S in either football or basketball. The pur- pose of the club is to work out vari- ous plays in our two leading school sports. The boys also study and dis- cuss the rules of the games. Some of our most interesting assembly pro- grams have been presented by this club. Mr. Saylor and Mr. Nosal at- tempted to explain and demonstrate the various plays in basketball and football and to distinguish between the referees' gestures. Don Younkin acts as president, with Glen Rose, Ward Houpt, and Bill Schroyer as his helpers. I ii- es -- R THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH 4 THE SCHOOL RECOGNIZES THE ' s wp . . - nf www m ,L 2 nw, ,, A.

The student body this year turned out splendidly to our games. When good weather held for most of the season, a gayly dressed crowd gathered excitedly nearly every Friday under a blue Indian Summer sky. The games were close and excit- ing. During the season we lost only two games by more than one touch- down. It was also thrilling to watch our boys stand up against the assault of Huntingdon, which is ranked as the best team of its class in the eastern sector of Pennsylvania. Our team this year was small and wiry. The average weight of the boys was one hundred fifty pounds. The climax of the season was the Meyersdale game on Armistice Day. A parade of loyal supporters formed at the high school and marched through the town. It is true that the drizzling rain made the streamers on our floats look like orange and black fishworms, but it did not dampen any of our pep. At the half the Somerset and Meyers- dale bands united and performed as one large band. It was a thrilling spectacle to see the combined group march briskly down the field. No other opposing schools have ever united to go through such a drill in our country. The closely-fought match was finally won by Meyersdale, but Somer- set fought a valiant fight to defend her goal.

Meyersdale BASKETBALL As the dying yells of the last foot- ball game fade away, the thump. thump, thump of basketballs echoes from the gym floor. Swish! Another basket is rung up for Somerset. Fresh- men, Sophomores, Iuniors, and Seniors, working hard every night after school until six o'clock, strive to remedy their mistakes and increase their shooting accuracy. In just this way basketball season started with the school's hopes mounting higher and higher as the team's progress was observed. The old men of our faculty came down from their lofty positions to give the Varsity a scare before the Varsity finally defeated the Faculty 38-29. Somerset, journeying to Westmont, found stiff opposition and was defeated 32-18. However, our boys were very inexperienced and promising material was developing. Returning to Iohnstown, Somerset proved that they were well on the way to a successful season when they gave Iohnstown Central lads a heated game before finally succumbing. From a strong Somerset Twp. crew the Varsity found probably one of its most exciting games of the year when Coach Saylor's boys led by one point when the final whistle had blown. Somerset rested a game when they met a weak Shade team, Who, although of a fighting spirit, were no match for the County Seaters. Because of the illness of Meyers- dale players, Somerset won a forfeited game 2-U. 71 t Coach Nosal Coach Saylor BASKETEERS IN ACTION Seeking revenge for their earlier defeat, Somerset Twp. battered our boys by 5 points when the game had finished. It was the first time a Somer- set Twp. team had beaten Somerset in many a year. Bedford's brand of ball was in- ferior to that of Somerset's and the Varsity found comparatively easy going in downing the Bisons 48-16. From the coal mines of Boswell came the strongest team of the year. Somerset, playing a very crafty game, turned the Bears away with a 31-20 defeat. Berlin, boasting of the mightiest team ever. was leading Somerset when the half whistle blew. Coach Saylor and the boys really got in earnest then and came through on the longest end of a 26-23 score. Somerset piled up a nice lead late in the Conemaugh Twp. game but found that Conemaugh men were the workers they are claimed to be as the score tallied only 27-25 in Somerset's favor. From Flood City came Iohnstown ready to prove their strength. The first quarter showed both teams evenly matched but Iohnstown finally won the game very handily. Meyersdale, Berlin, and Bedford fell hard before the markmanship of our boys who piled up high enough scores for a college team. Again Conemaugh Twp. nearly scalped the Varsity when they lost by only three points. The final score read 24-21. With a strong combination of men on the Somerset side, Somerset fans followed the team to Boswell to see if the old jinx could be licked. Somerset took the lead as the game began. However, Boswell rallied to win the game 36-29. Next, Somerset tangled with West- mont who showed the power of Iohns- town by defeating Somerset 35-19. Somerset played host to the Shade forces this time but handed them rather rough treatment in turning them back 43-19. This game officially ended the season for Somerset. Boswell and Somerset were tied for first place in the county with one loss a piece and an extra game necessary. As a tuneup game Somerset was the guest of Meyersdale, an ancient rival. At first, action marked every second of the game but finally Somer- set easily outdistanced their old foe 36-17. Faculties, students, and fans from every corner of the county traveled to Cone-maugh Twp. for the deciding game of the season. Both Boswell and Somerset were in the peak of condition for their final game. The Bears of Bos- well proved, however, too much for the Frosty Sons of Thunder, and Somer- set had to be content with second place. The last game of the year was a defeat for Somerset and the score read 32-28. The younger boys who comprise the Ir. Varsity this year turned in a fine piece of work, Although they ex- perienced a few defeats they showed many teams what will be the strength of Somerset High School in years to come. Mr. Nosal had charge of this group of boys. Under Mr. Kerin and Mr. Speicher the Sophomores and Freshmen got down to work and registered many wins. Basketball should be well played in the future judging from the way in which these boys handled themselves in the past season. VARSITY HASKE'l'BAI.l. 'l'lfAl'Xl ROW' l -- Yuuulx ffm-lw.

In 1936 our first varsity was or- ganized for District 5 competition. Now, this year, we have three varsity teams, A,' B, and C, competing in District 5 competition. Our teams have been especially versatile, winning the District 5 cham- pionship in '37, '38, '40, and '4l. This year, of our three entering teams, A and B won first and second place re- spectively. In the tournament, Somer- set defeated Berlin l5-5, 15-25 Somerset A defeated Somerset C 15-5, 15-95 Somerset A defeated Boswell 15-5, 9-15, 16-147 and Somerset A finally won by defeating Somerset B 15-10, 15-12, 15-10 in the finals. Advancing to the state playoffs at State College our A team lost its first round to Corapolis, one of the toughest teams in the state, by scores of 15-9, 15-7. The tournament was a single elimination tournament which is a sudden death method. The lineup for the state tournament wasp lack Baker, Dominic Darrigo, Walter Cyga, How- ard Durst, Mike Krevda, Louis Murray, Ziggie Gurzenda, and Homer Kozlosky. Of the eight teams participating in the state tournament, Westinghouse High School finally won the state champion- ship. We not only have good teams, but in Mr. A. I. Kerin we have one of the ablest coaches in the state. His ability as a coach was recognized by state officials when he was elected to the committee for planning the state play- off games. He is an ardent supporter of the double elimination playoffs. lZMhhll dB' ' 1-as 110 ' I - in. a an aslxethall Champs 16 B lt shall Champs U9 N -Mushhall and Basketball Champs 21-Mushhall Champr BOYS' INTRAMURALS When the crack ot ball and bat cannot be heard on the athletic field, the shouts of basketball fans ring in the gym. The intramural sports pro- gram, under Mr. Kerin, gives a large percentage of our students an oppor- tunity to participate on athletic teams. The games are played at noon and there is always a large group of stu- dents on the sidelines shouting for their favorite team. In this year's sertior mushball tournament Room 110 took over Room 112. The junior lads from Room 122 trounced those from Room 114, and the sophomores from Room 22 defeated Room 207. The freshma nchampionship Was taken by Room 2U9 from Room ll6. In the basketball tournament Room llU again came out on top by winning from Room 105. The juniors from Room 122 added another tournament to their list when they scored over Room 223. In the sophomore tournament Room 216 Won from Room 22, and in the fresh- man tournament Room 116 Wrested the laurels from Room 201. In addition to mushball and bas- ketball, soccer, tennis, and Wrestling are included on the intramural sports program.

Here the Senior girls made all the plans, acted as hostesses, and took charge of the games. About 50 Conemaugh, Shanks- ville, Berlin, and Somerset girls took part. In the morning after registration everybody dressed and played games in different groups. Dancing, mushball and paddle tennis were played in the afternoon. Before they left, each girl received an orange and black sweater emblem telling all about Play Day for a souvenir. But now something about this year's activities. There were the regu- lar intra- and inter-class tournaments in mushball, hockey, tennis, kickball, basketball, table tennis, and volley- ball. In basketball the senior champs played the junior victors a losing game. and the sophomores lost to the speedy freshmen. xxxsi-N SCHOOL DAZE . . . Here and 8U There With The Camera KAMERA KLIX . . .
