Mr. Griffith who taught at Somerset High School for six years and for twenty-two years has served us in the role of principal, brings to a close his successful career in education. During his administration he has proven himself an able adminis- trator, a sympathetic counselor, an untiring promoter of athletics, and, above all, a friend. I TIME T0 MEET TILE PEOPLE XX x X x QV X W. E. GRIFFITH, Principal D. C. RININGER, Driver Education DR. H. W. HAY, Supervising Principal -pcfminb tration Back of the smoothly - running Wheels of Somerset High School are the tireless efforts of the Administration. The Administrative heads strongly en- courage student participation and co- operation in school activities. They have a real task trying to make respectable citizens of us for our community. The Administration is ever ready to offer helpful suggestions and guidance for TIME FOR ADVICE our particular problems. Anytime a student needs some help he may go to the office and be sure of the best solu- tion. Our extra-curricular activities and everyday schedules are aptly planned by these men. Because of their under- standing advice and helpfulness, which has been so much a part of our school life, we feel that we are fitted to take our place in society. DR. W. R. KORNS, President CARL M.

MISS KALP This is the year nineteen hundred and fifty-a memorable year because we are graduating. To thoseof us who will be going from school to a job this year represents the end of an era. To those of us who are going to college it seems a big step in our chosen direc- tion. Now suppose we turn the clock back four years and do a little remi- niscing. Remember when . . . We were freshmen wandering' through the unfamiliar halls of Somer- set High School, tip-toeing timorously past the office, gaping at lofty seniors. Everything was new and strange. How embarrassed we were when we floun- dered into the wrong room and were met by snickers and wisecracks. We began to know our classmates better after the Freshman Halloween Party, planned and executed under the direc- tion of Jack Gilmour, our new president. Our freshmen year passed quickly and the idea that we must work hard so me old man'll be proud a me passed quickly too. Our Sophomore year dawned brightly. We got into the swing of things by selling at a football concession to earn money for the Sophomore-Se- nior Dance. Our dance was held in Feb- ruary, on St. Valentines Day. The gym was gayly decorated by hearts - big hearts, little hearts, fat hearts, thin hearts, happy hearts, and sad hearts. Under the leadership of a new pres- ident, Doran Walker, the dance was a great success. This was a difficult year, especially in English. Most of our dif- ficulties were due to the fact that we had the idea: Why bother to study, look at the fun we can have. Then came our Junior year. We were on the last lap of our struggle. Our competent president, Doran Walker, was re-elected. We met new teachers, new personalities, and most of us were introduced formally to the office. We were beginning to work together. Our class was becoming a unit. Due to this cooperation the Junior Prom, called Some Enchanted Evening, pulled thru remarkably. The Seniors of '49 neglect- ed to return the compliment when we pulled them through the mud. Thus dragged out our junior year, and we were confident of our grades for we knew that, They never check the pa- pers. R TI E At last! our Senior year! The end was at hand. After a mild political battle, Doran Walker again reigned as president. It seems he was trying to beat F. D. R.'s record. In chemistry class we met many new elements and found ourselves completely out of ours. Seniors pictures arrived! The prevail- ing sentiments were, Yours are won- derfull Mine are awful. We gave a star dusted performance called Beauty and the Beef for our Senior Class Practice makes perfect. Um-m-ni, good! HERE Play. Needless to say it was huge suc- cess! Our thanks to the tireless efforts of Mrs. Cindric and Miss Mostollerl Our football season was spectacular, our play was spectacular, our basketball was spectacular . . . our Class was spec- tacular! Commencement came at last and with it, joy mingled with tears. Many of us spent our last hours with our beloved teachers, pleading, You can't fail me!

MISS BUTLER The class of '51, under the sponsor- ship of Miss Butler, continued to be active and prosperous during their junior year. Way back when they were Fresh- men, they had the annual Frosh Hallo- ween Party, and thus started their fun- packed high school days together. As biology students in their Sopho- more year, they journeyed to Pitts- burgh, and for weeks talked of the things they had seen and done. Spring came and the annual Soph-Senior dance was held, and all agreed the Fiesta was a huge success. Now as juniors, they took an even more active interest in school activities. They sported varsity football players, included in these were such stand-outs as John Darrigo and Bob Rosbaugh who gave the Eagles much of its back-field scoring punch. Ralph Friedhofer, Tom Wright, and Bob Rosbaugh, among others, helped give us exciting, hard- fought basketball games. Also we had three varsity cheerleaders and drum majorettes coming from this class, which took an active interest in the band, clubs, assembly and choruses. In the spring they gave the seniors a won- derful night of pleasing memories when they held the beautiful last big dance of the well filled year-the Junior Prom. next in line q g Q With all the active interest this class has shown, they have kept up 21 high scholastic rating, and we're certain that S. H. S. has profited from their experience as well as the students. llut, the coach said nine. The Magnet, l still mlon't understand. If he doesn't soon come UN IORS L. to R.: J. Barkman P. Crowley, E.

Some of them were here before in the seventh and eighth grades. They soon became accustomed to the rules of our school. They added new members to our orchestra, band, and vocal groups. They are preparing to put heroes on our football field and on our basketball floor in future years. Their most celebrated event was the annual Halloween Party which was a great success. Of course, those Fresh- men were always at the football and basketball games cheering their school teams on to victory. 50 The green year Seeing: Double. Have a bite. et me sharpen it.

Its members are elected and rep- resent all the homerooms in the Junior and Senior High. At the beginning of the year, freshmen received S books explaining the school, and soon became accustomed to the monitor system. Members proved themselves capable ushers at parents' night. New records were bought for the MR. SINGER juke box in the gym, tickets were sold for the games, and dances were spon- sored after the games under the Coun- cil's supervision. Christmas was recog- nized not only by the brightly decorated tree, but by the informal dance, Mid- winter Night's Dream , after which all reported a fine time. The three day state convention in October at Coatsville found delegates from Somerset, as did the western con- vention at Oliver High School in Pitts- burgh in the Spring. TOP ROW: V. Hall, C.

CLUBS Pasting Pictures. One lump or Two? hours of service for others LIBRARY CLUB The library club has 18 members within its folds. They have had a busy year repairing books, fixing bulletin boards, processing new books, keeping the book shelves in order, and cleaning the library. Some of the members act as student assistant librarians and help in the library during study periods. But is is not all work and no play. During the year they attended quite a few parties, the most memorable ones being their Halloween and Skating Parties. TRI-HI-Y The Tri-Hi-Y Club, because of its varied and helpful functions, is one of the most active in the school. It is aptly sponsored by Miss Bessie Long. Under her sponsorship and the supervision of the president, Alice Weimer, they un- dertake many activities. Among these are the Tuesday night teas that are held in the social room of the school, where the members of the Tri-Hi-Y. club offer the teachers some refresh-- ments. The origination of the Junior Red Cross Club was another blue ribbon activity for the club. This year two' members were selected to go to Harris- burg to represent S. H. S. at the United Nations Convention for young people Upon their return they reported all the happenings at Harrisburg to their fel- low club members. CLUBS time for relaxation PLASTICS CLUB The Plastics Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Revello, spend their Thurs- day, third period working diligently to devise new things made of plastic. Many of the articles turned out from their club have obtained recognition in our school. Several persons are to be seen wearing Indian Head rings or bracelets fashioned from Indian designs. Some homes are decorated with bowls or statuettes made from designs copied from the originals. Formerly the plas- tics club had only male members, but in recent ears members of the fairerf Y sex have certainly done their bit toward gaining the recognition they have ree ceived. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The purpose of this club is to pro- mote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking. They emphasize the importance of worthy home membership and encourage demo- cracy in home and community life. Through the club the interest in home economics has increased. Members take trips to farm shows and the club state conventions. They make projects for needy causes and also projects to make money. They have programs based on various phases of homemaking and so- cial affairs at which the members get together and have a good time. R. Coleman, J. Custer. R. Barclay, G. Jacobs, L. Snyder, Ii.

The fundamentals taught are-su- pervised farming, co-operation, com- munity service, leadership, scholarship, thrift, and recreation. Many and varied are the activities in which the boys participated. They attended fairs and livestock shows in Kansas City and Pittsburgh. Not only did they perform jobs for farmers, but they bought and sold co-operatively. LEFT TO RIGHT: D. Clark, R. Knepper, F. Dau D Murray, W. Brant. There are a possible four degrees to be conferred on the boys. The new members are commonly called Green Hands. After participating one year, the boys then become chapter farmers. When the boys are seniors they can get the state degree and are commonly call- ed Keystone Farmers. Finally, it is possible three years after graduation to become an American Farmer. Throughout the year they partici- pated in many activities, including the Halloween party, square dance, basket- ball league, and the highlight of the year, the traditional Father and Son banquet.

E. Boyer, CHEERLEADERS split-second precision Come on kids, smile. Pep it up l Yes, the cheerleaders have their troubles too. Every Thursday after school these are some of the remarks which find their way through the gym. During football season these gals had the gym all to themselves, but, alas, when bas- ketball season rolled around they all had to move to one small corner of the gym. The reason for this was that the team seemed to be all over the place and, of course, the lasses didn't want to get hit on the head with a basketball. S. H. S. has three strings of cheerleaders to cheer the teams on to victory. The varsity has six cheerleaders who cheer for the football and varsity basketball games both home and away. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders cheer for the J. V. basketball games. These are the girls who are moved up to the varsity spuad when someone graduates. Last but not least come the third string cheerleaders. These girls don't get to cheerlead very much but they keep in shape because they are the ones who are moved up to the J. V. string when there is a vacancy. All these girls practice to keep in perfect form so people will say that S. H. S. has top-notch cheerleaders. We think our cheerleading spuad is one of the best. This has been made possible only with the untiring efforts of the girls in practice and at the games. CLUBS The Big Three. lf you wcrcn't so small Check the Script. are time well spent SENIOR DRAMATICS Lights! Action! The Senior Dram- atics Club consisting of twenty-seven members hustles around rolling 0E a big production. One production for this year was a Thanksgiving play. All members enjoy some specialized work in acting, make-up, stage construction, or lighting. But it isn't all work and no play, for the Dramatics Club has outside parties which are fun for members and guests. A traditional ceremony, enjoyed by all is the annual initiations to help new mem- bers feel more at home. JUNIOR DRAMATICS This dramatics club is made up of the younger students sponsored by Miss Kalp. They put on one play in assembly this year called Elmer and the Love Bug. The play centers around Elmer, a second Henry Aldrich. The plot: While Elmer and his mother are away Elmer's two sisters decide to have a dinner party. They are delighted that Elmer is not around to upset the works, but not for long. Elmer comes home from camp. Things begin to pop, and when Elmer falls in love the audience is fur- nished with plenty of laughter. These active thespians learned many basic fundamentals which will be valuable to them in future dramatic efforts. JUNIOR HIGH DRAMATICS CLUB Want to see some talented young- sters? Just watch the seventh and eighth graders of the Jr. High Drama- tics Club. Their activities were centered around two assembly programs this year. The special highlight was the pres- entation of the Halloween Opree, I Never See Maggie Alone. Their biggest social activity was the Christmas party for Club members and guests with San- ta Claus and presents for all. L. to R.: D. Walker, V. Clark, B. Trimpey, N. Tedrow, R. Weiss, M.

The four basic stitches are taught, and each Thursday finds the girls busily practicing. They learn how to knit so they can use their leisure time pleasantly and profitably. In the future, they shall be able to make many attractive and useful garments. JUNIOR HISTORIANS This club of sixteen members is one of our most active for its size. Not only does it study history, but tries to make our community more aware of historical events such as United Nations week. Junior Historians started for the annual district and state conventions at Indiana and Harrisburg respectively, flying their colors of pink and rust Cpink for the laurel and rust for the ruffled grouse! These are important events in the life of all Junior Historians. Out- side monthly meetings are held in the form of various parties. These are rated tops by members and guests alike. Their Motto : Today's Historians: Tomorrow's Citizens COMBINED ARTS This club, under the apt direction of Miss Hahn, offers much to students interested in not only stage arts but almost anything in the artistic field. The girls have made puppets, done work in pastels and other things that are too complicated for classroom study. At the coming of Spring they all enjoyed an Art Outing, to which they had looked forward all winter. 71 Itls supposed to be a sock The founders.

This was done by the Student Patrol. These boys have patroled the street crossing in the eve- ning and at noon and kept order on the buses. They have also been alert to any- thing that might be a fire hazard to the school. Mr. Rininger is the skillful leader of this group. RIFLE CLUB Under the instruction of Mr. Trex- el those sharpshooters of S. H. S. really hit the mark. Two teams were entered against the best of other schools in the nation in the N. R. A. Postal match. November, December, January, and February were the months, in which the boys held competitive matches among themselves. Mr. Trexel endea- vors to teach all boys who enter the club the manner of handling firearms. LANTERN SLIDE CLUB A peppy bunch of seventh and eighth graders gather in room 206 every club period. This is the Lantern Slide Club which is very enthusiastic in learning the crafts of glass. They draw and make lantern slides. Once a month they show these on a slide projector. They enjoyed several social affairs dur- ing this year. 72 L. to R.: J. Stanga, J. Beal, H. Brant, R. Zimmerman. L. to R.: L. Gnagey, S. Ras- cona, W. Kimmel, J. Saylor, N. McKenzie. KNEELING: D.

Between the tasks of selecting the- movies and operating the machines, the members are really kept on their toes. The photoplay members learn, under the direction of Jacob Frysinger, howl to operate all the different kinds of movie and slide machines the school owns. When an occasion arises rarely that they have nothing on the agenda, they have a movie shown to them during club period. ARCHERY CLUB Twang! These Future William Tells of S. H. S. meet every Thursday to bend the bows and hit the bulls-eye on the out-door range, weather permit- ting. During the winter the members learned the fundamentals of this great sport. Mr. Rodgers started the club and thus far has played the role of instruct- or. He attributes his skill with the bow to the fact that for two years he lived among the Indians of North Dakota as an Indian trader. CAMERA CLUB If you have seen students trying to take pictures of activities or other subjects you will know they are from the Camera Club. This organization has during the year planned trips in an at- tempt to learn more about photography. Its main function is to teach pupils the art of handling the camera and all the other techniques of photography. It is under the direction of Mr. Sayler. 75 CLUBS provide moments of leisure He may have been bigger. Two heads are better than one. There I am, Score 13 to 3 X. HUNTING AND FISHING This club has a very good purpose. It is to teach the students the tech- niques of fishing and hunting. Some of the activities of the organ- ization during the period of school are: the different types of casting, tying and splicing lines and flys, how to care for the fishing rod, and keep it in good condition. They take many field excur- sions during this period, and show pic- tures on the right techniques of fishing and hunting. The requirements of this club are that you must pass all your subjects and furnish all your own equipment. There are thirty five members in this club and they are all Juniors and Seniors. Mr. Stiffler is the sponsor of the club. HOUSEHOLD MECHANICS Under the skilled direction of Mr. Flick, the girls of S. H. S. learned to work with metals. This club learns how to cut tin, how to Weld, and other in- teresting things. They make such things as sugar scoops and cookie cutters. Even though it's a small club, you'll discover that all the girls like it and find it in- teresting. PING PONG CLUB The club is made up of boys, most of whom are from the Junior High. These boys are interested in ping pong and here they learn the fundamentals of the game. They are taught correct serves, wicked slams, and cunning re- turns. N ear the end of the year the club sponsors a few tournaments in which both students and teachers participate. Mr. Pfrogner sponsors the club. 76 L. to R.: G. Holt, C. Deeter. L to R.: M.

Doherty, S. Funk, J. Varner, Every Monday and Thursday morn- ing the orchestra practices to arrive at the peak of perfection. This year our orchestra has increased to forty-five members. The majority of this organi- zation are underclassmen. The instru4 mentation of this group consists mainly of strings. There are fourteen violins, one piano, four cornets, five clarinets, three flutes, one bassoon, two oboes, two saxophones, three trombones, and two percussions. Mr. Singer, the direct- or, has done wonders with his organi- zation, and we know he will continue his good work in the future. FOURTH: F. Friedline, W. Shockey, K. Halverson, E. Driscoll, E.

The majority of the organization is made up of underclassmen which will form the backbone of the group in the years to come. This year the band made a good showing for our school. It put in an appearance at all the football games, cheering our team on to victory. Under the direction of Chester Singer our band has proven time and again that they have the right to be ranked among the top bands of our district. We sent' thirteen members to the Central-West- ern Music Festival, of which one mem- ber, Alice Weimer, represented us at State Band. If Mr. Singer continues in his excellent work with our instrument- al organizations, we have much good music to anticipate for the future. Mr. Singer i FOURTH: M. Pletcher, K. Dumbauld, K.

Soothing strains. 82 After hour stuff With Editor-in-Chief Doran Walk- er, Business Manager Fay Beeghley, and advisors Mrs. Cindric and Mrs. Jock at the helm, the Business and Lit- erary Staffs of the 1950 Eaglet have endeavored to produce a verbal and pictorial record of Somerset High School life. The twenty-two members of the Literary Staff worked hard to achieve apt expressions for seniors, teachers, as Well as the clubs, classes, and social ac- tivities at S. H. S. Arranging and iden- tifying the pictures completes the job for the Literary Staff. Backed by the Business Staff, the Seniors made their rounds of the town, knocking on each door with the question, Mine's ready to hand in. The hand behind the Art. Would you like to subscribe for a mag- azine? Financing the cost of the year-- book was quite a job but left to the hands of the Business Staf it was handled quite Well. The endless clackety-clack of the typewriters of the Typing Staff could be heard as they tirelessly typed and re- typed the volumes of material used in the book. When you notice the snappy etch- ings and drawings on these pages, think of the Art Staff and the grand job they have done.

Though Somerset out gained and out- played them, we were on the short end of a 19-12 score. Still hoping to snap a 7 game losing streak, we bucked the Bedford Bisons. Once more the breaks were for the opponents, and we lost another heartbreaker. Since everyone was expecting a poor season, we took the Allegheny defeat in stride. Now more determined than ever, the Eagles took on the Huntingdon Bearcats. To some the score came as a surprise, but to those of us who followed their im- provement and determination to wing it was not. At last the Eagles were making their bid for a comeback. They strengthened the bid even more when they downed the Richland Rams 34-7. John Miller, Bob Rosbaugh, and the Sally Rand beat Scottdale 13-12.

Next the Eagles with- ered the entire Lilly team by a score of 32-13. The game was played in a rather heavy snowfall. Somerset, mak- ing its bid for the best season in three years, met the Conemaugh Twp. In- dians. The Indians passed, kicked and ran their way to a 41-20 victory over the Eagles. The past season has set a very high example of spirit and the ability to come back after a few heart- breaking setbacks. This in itself is the first and principal characteristic of a group of boys that make a great team. The Eagles scored twenty-nine touchdowns and outgained every op- ponent except the Conemaugh Twp.

UNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL o o o future Eagles The purpose of the Junior High School football squad is to teach fund- amentals of football to the young boys. They are taught how to tackle properly, how to block, pass, kick, pull out of the line, and various offensive and defensive tactics. There were about fifty boys from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades who reported for squad and ap- proximately thirty-five of these report- ed very regularly. Three games were played, two with Bedford and one with Conemaugh Twp. We lost all three. The boys who showed promise were John Williams, Harry Sandusky, Eddie Romesburg, William Marsh in backfield and Robert Blank, Charles Doherty, Ronald Schrock, Dean Griffith, John Leventry, William Dickey on the line. 94 BASKETBALL team of the year As the season started this year, we appeared to be in a rut, but with the sharp coaching of David Yule, we soon began to climb. Sparked by the fast scoring of Tom Wright, Ron Bowman, and Jim Saylor, We were once more among the top clubs of the area. As the Mr. Yule season progressed, we improved, always aided by Bob Rosbaugh, Ralph Fried- hofer, and Douglas Kerin. Of course, we lost a few games, but they were not lost in vain. Our defeats taught the boys of our team to take victory or loss with the same spirit of fair play. L. to R.: J. Brick, P. Welsh, J. Saylor, L. Walter, R. Bowman, R. Rosbaugh, R. Friedhof- er, D.

Open your eyes, Ron! Basket! l'vc got - With the bleachers full, the fans of Somerset saw Ron make a shot that made the stands rock. With a one-hand- ed shot from the middle of the floor, he made a basket to win the Allegany game 30-28. Our next thriller was the Berlin game. Douglas Kerin and Tom Wright kept us in the game, and we were able to edge out Berlin 44-33. This year's team is made up of two Seniors, Ron Bowman and Jim Saylor, three Juniors, Tom Wright, Ralph Friedhofer and Bob Rosbaugh, and one Sophomore, Douglas Kerin. With four veterans returning to the team next year, our prospects are good for the future. The combination of Coach David Yule and Carl Waugaman, our Junior Varsity coach, is a hard one to top, and laurels go to them for a good job well done. Near the close of the season, Ralph Friedhofer was injured, and Bob Cod- dington and Jim Saylor saw a good bit of action. They upheld the same fight- ing spirit that had been a spark to the team. Among the boys who held the team together under the bankboard were Bob Rosbaugh and Ralph Fried- hofer. They were able to outjump most of their opponents, and a rebound from the basket area was safe in their hands.: We students say to the 1950 Bas- season, and good luck to those who will be back again next year. ketball Team: Thank you for a good- ff' T M tk? lr On your mark . . . Teamwork See how easy it is? The long way home Ready to fly TRACK Our team You hold it like this Present-day Mercuries This club is a must for boys who are coming to S. H. S. There is plenty of foot work in the team and they show plenty of fast action. In this sport many a game is played, among which are jumping the high board, hurling discus, throwing the javelin, and shot-put throwing. This year more than ever the fellows that are out for track have plen- ty of vim and vigor. Some members of the club went to Penn State last year. Bob Rosbaugh, who is our up and com- ing sprint man, John Darrigo, our hurd- ler, and Frank Layman, the guy who runs the mile, are the stars. Mr. Stiffler is the leader of this team. Init. S CLUB Time has earned them their S The purpose of the S Club is to arouse interest in sports so that more fellows will turn out for the team, and to create good sportsmanship. They show movies and discuss the pros and cons of football to help familiarize the underclassmen with the rules and tac- tics of the game. Although football is discussed chiefly, the S Club is for the further promotion of all sports. TOP ROW: P. Straub, J. Miller, D. Mason, P. Welsh, R. Rosbaugh, B Long J Dariigo BOTTOM Row: S.
