N 6 U16 ll .MM ir lll NCE again the ORIOLE flies to us, bringing a record of the combined graduating classes of Feb- ruary, nineteen hundred thirty- four, and june, nineteen hundred thirty-four, at South High School, Tenth and Carson Streets, Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania. WHY THE MELTING POT? l-lere at South l-ligh School are gathered members of twenty- eight nationalities in one great heterogeneous group. The foreign off- spring has been compared to a raw metal. The raw metal is first put into a crucible-the environment. The crucible is then placed in a closed furnace-the school, where the heat--education, melts the metal until it runs like water. The melting purifies the metal and frees it from anything that may have mixed with it. As a result, Lithuanian, Pole, Slav, Italian and Ukranian who have come to- gether in this cauldron have been thrown into mutual relation- ships, have adopted a common way of acting and thinking, and have become aware of the existence of common interests. The stamp of inferiority has been removed from them and they are now feeling the growth of American patriotism as they go forth from the melting pot into the world to meet the challenges that life holds for them. DEDIC TO OUR FOREIGN To those of you who, born on for- eign soil, have dared to venture from your native land, have given up your homes, left your friends and relatives, sev- ered communica- tion, for a time, with many near and dear to you, ATION BORN PARENTS braved ridicule and abuse at the hands of many in order to wander here to America to settle and rear your family as American citi- z e n s, vv e, t h e classes of '34, dedicate this, our Class Book. 1 I THE MELTIN6 POT .... ln the little village of Zuirblaukia, Lithuania, there are twenty-five or thirty houses with a great number of barns and cattle sheds. Most of the houses are built of wooden logs and are generally thatched on the roof. In one of these peasant cottages I was born. The room in which I first saw the light of day was bare except for a huge stove and several wooden benches ranged against the wall. From the ceiling, attached to a branch, was a long bas- ket made of birch boughs. This was my cradle. As the branch was very elastic, I was rocked to and fro while my mother was busy with her household tasks. Outside in the fields, my father sang while he plowed his acres, he sang about his straight furrow and the lark above his head. In the forest my brother, john. brought the timber from the great woods on a raft down the river. At the end of the day when the outside work was done, the men would come into the house and wash up while mother prepared our simple meals. Before a large and elaborately carved cross father said grace, and then we were ready to sit down to our meal of creamed beet soup and rye bread. After the supper dishes were cleared away, our neighbors would gather outside our door and we entertained ourselves by singing and dancing until eight o'clock, when we all retired. In such an atmosphere I grew up. We all worked hard in both the house and the fields, but still we always seemed to have time to celebrate the many holi- days in true Lithuanian fashion. One festival day, Vainikinas, as it was called, stands out vividly in my mind. On this occasion I wore my best clothes. These consisted of short woolen many-colored skirt, a white blouse and a tight em- broidered sleeveless bodice. My hair was elaborately plaited and on my hands were rings of silver, tin, and brass. Vainikinas means binding of wreathes. Accordingly, about sunset my two friends and I set out for the forest where we gathered flowers and made them into wreaths. Adorned with these we then went in search of two young birch trees. Having secured them, we entwined them together and made a per- fect triumphal arch. The men, in the meantime, had made a similar arch. When these had been erected, we marched through them, singing appropriate songs, as the couples met, they kissed and marched on. The day came, however, when our family packed its few trunks, said good- bye to our dear friends, and set out upon our long journey to America, the long- discussed Land of Freedom. Unfortunately, we had succeeded in getting only one pass. This enabled my mother and father to cross the border line of Lithua- nia into Prussia, but made no provision for my brother and me. Leaving us at home was out of the question, of course, so we were hidden under the straw in the cart. In this way we crossed the border without detection and boarded a train which took us to Amsterdam. Then we climbed the gangplank to the pol- ished, shiny deck ofa great steamer. Never shall l forget that memorable trip across the Atlantic. After we had located our quarters, we lay down to take a little rest. I awoke to find my stom- ach soaring up and down, and the next thing I knew my mother had boiled some ramuliu tea, which changed my seasickness to a feeling of hunger. We dined upon cream cheese, onions, black bread and thick cream. With my appetite appeased, I strolled along the deck and gazed wide-eyed at the strange men who, with sleeves and pants legs rolled up, were washing the decks. Everything was very fascinating. The second day out l became acquainted with a Lithua- nian professor who was coming to America to teach our language in a large New England college. I-le had already spent several years in America and had a thor- ough understanding ofthe English language. To him am I indebted for the foun- dation of my education as an American. For several hours each day during that two weeks' trip, this new-found friend labored with me. I was indeed proud to . '2'fIf-:cf . -. : .TV-,':-5'1-:t uf- 0 Q-'.'.:.g :jWgf. 2Q, .

At last our steamer made portg she had come in during the night and l arose in the morning to look upon the Statue of Liberty. As l looked over the rail at the miles of streets, the stir of ferry boats, the grim skyline formed by the towering buildings, my hopes rose high and l prayed that somewhere in this busy world there would be a place for me. Would l, with my Lithuanian cus- toms and my Lithuanian background, ever become truly Americanized? Little did I dream of what an important part the public school was to play in my life. Twelve hours later we were in the Pennsylva- nia Station in Pittsburgh. Our cousins met us and no one will ever realize just what my emotions were when l saw a familiar face among that vast throng of people hurrying to and from the trains. How I envied them their easy familiarity with the American language and customs. They had preceded us by just three years, but were in- deed our American cousins now. Their colorful Lithuanian clothes had been exchanged for the more somber clothing of the American. The girls' hair, in- stead of being in long plaits, was bobbed according to the prevailing American style. Their fingers were bare of the many ringslso dear to Lithuanians. They spoke the English language without even a hesitancy in their speech, and were much amused at our futile efforts to follow them. We boarded a street car and were on the way home when suddenly my cous- ins said, Cla yra musu mokykla, which means, There is our school. l peered out into the darkness and was able to see what seemed to me a gigantic struc- ture of red brick behind a tall iron fence. How little we know of what the future holds in store for us: this structure of red brick was later to become my Alma Mater, dear old South High. We went directly to my uncle's home, where we were to stay until we had sufficient time to locate a home of our own. My uncle and aunt were watching for us as we came down the street, and what a reunion we all had when we met in their tiny front hall. My cousins soon carried me off to their room, where we talked until daybreak. How eagerly l listened to their stories of school. The dresses they wore they had made in the sewing department and they assured me they would help me make one just like theirs. My first disappointment came when they told me that l couldn't enter school before the following September. lt seemed there would be only one more month of school before the term ended. l could not hope to enter until l had learned to speak and write the English lan- guage. However, they promised me that as soon as I had gotten settled they would take me up to visit the high school. That summer brought many changes in my life. ln june my father succeeded in getting a position in the mills of jones G Laughlin. We then moved into a little home on Thirtieth Street, where we could be conveniently near father's work. My mother missed the farm at firstg she couldn't become accustomed to looking out on brick walls instead of rolling fieldsg but when she realized how much more prosperous we could be on American soil, she soon ceased to long for the things we had left behind. My brother went to work with a construction gang who were putting in a new county road. He and father together earned as eight H1719 much in a month as we would have made in a -, f X sfo- whole season on our Lithuanian farm. We opened r5t fi a bank account in a big bank on Carson Street, and E , f Y.

I determined I would . . not go to school until I could dress and speak as f V..-Q. 'i A the others did. if I In the meantime I made great progress in my ' . J work. My cousin took me to the South Side Branch I '-1', I! if of the Carnegie Library and introduced me to the IQ I f librarian in charge. She at once seemed to under- lllllllln' x , .1 I stand my problems and was an invaluable friend to me during those summer months. She knew just what kind ot books I needed, she showed me how to use the catalogue in the library and all the other things that were to prove so useful to me in the fall. By September my cousins pronounced me ready for high school. A teacher living near us had heard about my efforts to fit myself for school in the fall and she sent for me to come to see her. America was surely the home of kind people. She arranged for me to go to her three times a week for help in lower mathe- matics and geography. For the first time in my life I looked upon a globe repre- senting the world, and my heart swelled with pride when I saw the large space occupied by my newly adopted country. My parents were so grateful to Miss Wilson for the help she had given me that they insisted that they be allowed to pay her, but she said she was amply repaid in my progress and would accept no money. Finally my mother made her a present of a hand-embroidered shawl that we had brought from Lithuania and she was delighted with it. September fifth, the long heralded day, finally dawned and I went forth with my cousins to begin my education in an American school. I was surprised to learn that my parents were not going to have to pay for these lessons I was about to receive. just think-English, history, algebra, science, cooking, sew- ing, swimming-all to be had for the asking! How vividly that first morning stands out in my memory. I think I shall never forget it. My cousins escorted me to the auditorium and then departed for their own class rooms. I found myself seated in a huge hall, larger than our church had been in the old country. Hundreds of other boys and girls were wait- ing there in long rows of seats. I was so happy it seemed as though my heart would burst with gratitude. I turned to survey the girl sitting next to me. In a short time we were chatting like old friends. That friendship that sprang up be- tween us that morning has grown until today Anna Mindek is my dearest friend. She, too, was foreign borng she had come to America from Novgorad, Russia when she was but two months old. Of course she had no recollections of her old home as I had, but she.had the advantage of me in having spent eight years in the public schools. The girl in front of us overheard our conversation and turned around to say that her parents had come from Russia, too. When she was seven she had been taken back there on a visit. She assured me that Amer- ica was so much superior to the foreign countries that I should likely never have a desire to return to the land of my birth. Already I was ready to agree with her. After a short time the principal came in and I was assigned to a room called a report room. My new friend, Anna, was sent to the same room. My cousins had told the principal about my preparation and he agreed to let me try out 9-B work. Anna had already spent two years in the building, so she was able to ex- plain the many bewildering things that arose the first day. We stayed in our report room until the bell rang and everyone hurried into the hall. At first I thought this must be the fire drill my cousin had spoken of, but I was reassured when I realized that no one was alarmed as the halls filled up with laughing, chattering young folks. Everything fascinated me that day, I was almost afraid I should waken up and find myself back in the plowed fields of Zuirblaukia- surely this must all be a dream. I had hoped to take both cooking and sewing, but I found I had to choose between them. I had always done more or less cook- ing, so I decided to sign up for sewing and learn to make the kind of clothes my cousins made. I was rather disappointed to learn that I must begin on something very simple before I could hope to make a dress. However, my teacher assured me that I could go ahead just as fast as I was able, and I felt fully confident that I would be making suits before the end of the semester. I went from class to class as one hunting new fields to conquer. At noon my friend introduced me to the cafeteria. This was my first experience in a cafeteria and I had gotten clear to the desserts before I could make up my mind what.to choose. When I turned to retrace my steps, I found what seemed to be hundreds of students behind me, so that first day I Iunched on custard, jello, and pie. My cousins had great fun that night teasing me about it. It didn't take me long to learn. though, and my mother was delighted to know that I could get a good nourishing lunch for fifteen cents. That afternoon I saw my first swimming pool. We weren't permitted to go in until later in the week. I wasn't at all certain that I wanted to go in. Surely with so many girls in the water, some of us would be overlooked. Most of the students already knew how to swim. Would they laugh at my feeble efforts to keep my head above water? Yes, I could think of lots of things nicer than a swimming pool that day. Time will not permit me to go into further detail about that epoch-making first day at school. In my estimation I had at least mounted the ladder of success and in my youthful enthusiasm I could already picture myself at the top. Day followed day, weeks developed into a month. Each day brought me new and interesting experiences. The impossible seemed to be coming to pass when one day I opened a savings account at school. I who a year before would have rejoiced over possessing a single skatikas was now receiving money regularly from my father to put into the school bank. Nothing could have persuaded me to draw out any of that money either, for I now had a secret ambition-so secret that I didn't even share it with my mother. Perhaps some day I might go to col- lege. In my idle moments I dreamed over the possibility, for had not our teacher said that money was our best friend? Yes, with money, everything was possible. By the end of my first year I could number many pupils among my friends. A few, like me, were born on foreign soil, but most of them had been born in America. There was Stanislov Slovinska and his brother Michael, both of Polish descent, Katherine C-eletko, a Slovik girl who lived beside me, Hulda Burgraff, who had been born in Leipsicg Maria Piazza, whose parents had crossed from Sicily two years before her birth. No one, however, was quite so dear to me as Anna Mindek, for I had met her when I was most in need of friendship. I found the extra-curricular activities interested me almost as much as my classes. Such fun as one can have in an American school! I joined the World Club and opened up correspondence with Frances Michalouskis, a girlhood friend of mine back in Zuirblaukia. I was quite thrilled to be able to write as an American student. As far back as I can remember my family had owned an accordian. As soon ren eleven as I was big enough, my brother taught me how to play it. Although I played only by ear, I developed a love for music at a very early age. Consequently, when the music instructor asked all those who played musical instruments to meet him after school one day, I presented myself and volunteered the information that I could play an accordian. Suppressing a smile, he suggested that I join the instrumental class for beginners and learn to play a violin. I followed his advice and now I am a member of the orchestra and play on all special occasions. Shortly after I had entered the high school, the assembly was entertained by a play put on by a dramatic club. It was the first play I had ever seen, and I guess I sat in open-mouthed wonder as the action developed. That night I went home and announced to my family that I was going to be an actress. My father shook his head in disapproval, but my mother was wise enough to realize that child- hood ambitions are rarely achieved. Nevertheless, I went to school the follow- ing morning determined to begin my theatrical career. I inquired and learned that I might join a dramatic club at once. I joined immediately, but it was months before I appeared on the stage, and when I did go on for the first time, I was so thoroughly terrified that I completely forgot my lines and had to be prompted several times before I could continue. Since then I have participated in a number of plays, but I realize now that I shall never be an actress. My time has not been wasted, though, for I can now go before an assembly group and speak with comparative ease. In my third year I was invited to join a literary society. I also went in for knitting and newspaper reporting, so I was kept quite busy. At home my mother still cooked in Lithuanian fashion. KIatski, or potato pancakes, was our idea of a company dish. Our foods were heavy and not so ap- petizing as the meals I bought at school. I decided that it was up to me to help Americanize our family menus, so I enrolled in a cooking class in my last year. I soon learned how to prepare a balanced meal. Salads, nourishing soups, and dainty desserts began to make their appearance on our table. At first mother was prejudiced against my new-fangled ideas as she termed them, but grad- ually she, too, grew to anticipate them with pleasure. I can honestly say that I enjoyed practically every class I had, although, of course, some appealed to me more than others. The years flew around and I found myself a dignified senior. It was then that I took up civics, the course that was to mean so much to me. It was during this course that I realized what it really meant to be a citizen of America. I read in my lesson one day a reference to America, the Melting Pot of the World. Here was a new and strange idea to me. What was the Melt- ing Pot? How did it concern Americanization? I read on and a new thought impressed itself upon my mind. Here in America everyone united, regardless of color, creed or nationality, to labor for the great republic and look forward to majestic exploits performed for the common good. The American flag, the sym- bol of our independence, stood for honor, justice, humanity and freedom, not only for our ancestors, but for our descendants. Here while we work shoulder to shoulder with natives of other countries, opportunity beckons. No other country offers opportunity to the foreign-born as America does, here one can go as far as his abilities carry him. America will make good with you if you make good with her. These words, taken from some reference reading I did one day, made such a lasting impression upon my mind that I kept repeating them over and over for several days. What an optimistic note they sounded, and how true the meaning they conveyed. just as America is the melting pot of the world, so our high school is the melting pot of the city. To this great cruciblelcome representatives of twenty- eight nations. There is no limit to the heights we foreign born may attain. All we need is the will to succeed. Every path is open, every talent is called forth, and some day in the near future, when our diplomas have been handed to us, we shall be ready to take our places as true Americans in the melting pot of the world. , FEBRUARY CLASS OF l93Li , CLASS OFFICERS FOR FEBRUARY President, Arthur Geisey V.-President, john Grad Secretary, Helen jackson Treasurer, Alma Siegfried O.

Her pep is contagious to those around her and consequently she is a very popular girl. Michael Chaklos Mushy Varsity, Football, Boys' Swim- ming Team, Baseball Mushy is a quiet, unassuming lad, a marvelous French student, and a full-fledged woman-hater.

Her friendly smile and sunny disposition have won her many friends both in and out of South High. Carl Casato Carl A certain atmosphere of mys- tery surrounds this tall, dark lad. Maybe that dreamy look in his eyes means that he's thinking of sunny Italy and Venice with its gondolas. How about it, Carl? john Chasey john Sketch, Chemistry, Yearbook Did someone mention art? john is quite an authority on this sub- ject. For proof, just take a look at the cover of this book. Now don't you think that we have reason to believe that someday we'll be viewing his works in an art gallery? james Davis Lefty World, Varsity, Baseball, Ad- vertising Committee Lefty is another studious lad who is all wrapped up in his art.

South beat Fifth l4-O. 20.-This night was the night of nights at South High. Nearly every country of Europe was represented in this gorgeous display. International Night was one of the most successful under- takings our school has ever attempted. Antiques from every land were laid in all their splendor before our eyes. Entertainment, too, was close at hand. Swimming, dancing, and dramatic sketches -at the turn of every corner something different. And what a hit the colored minstrel made, with its singers and rhythmic dancers. Of course the ticket system was a little confusing, but a good time was enjoyed by all who attended this gala night at South.

We certainly will m i ss Eva's hearty laugh and naughty pranks. But better still, we'll miss her ready willingness and hearty co- operation. Michael Glumac Mike Despite Mike's smallness he is quite an asset to the class. He hates civics, history, type and what have you? But there is one thing he is fond of and that is marking up books. How about it, Mr. Dean? Robert Gray Bob Sketch, Hi-Y, Thespians, Class Day Dancing feet and sparkling eyes best describe this gay Ro- meo. He's quite an actor and a favorite with the women.

Not on your life! Marge may seem reserved and shy in the class room, but outside of school she is quite jolly and full of fun. We wonder whether a certain boy residing in Philadelphia is the cause for her reserved manner at school. Eleanore Hesse Nora Reporters Brown wavy hair, brown eyes, a peaches and cream complexion -sounds like the heroine of a novel, doesn't it? But Eleanore is a real, honest-to-goodness girl, and we're glad of it for she is quite an addition to our class. Odessa Howieson OH Girl Reserves, S o u t h High Dramatists, Botzoo, Reporters, World Club Our Odessa is just bubbling over with personality and pep. She will be greatly missed in the Girl Reserves Society where she has been an active member, and in a certain band member's heart where she has had quite a large spot.

Yep--that's Reds. And don't get the notion she's just a party girl. Oh my no! She's in almost everything in school atndt Highest Honor graduate at t a . Elizabeth Logan Lizzie S e n i o r Leaders, Reporters, Type 'Trophy Lizzie is the believer of the old adage, Silence is golden. But we like her just the same. lnci- dentally, if you want to make her extremely happy, ask her to 'go tobogganing. Robert McClure Bob Ayita, Varsity, Student Coun- cil, Hi-Y, Football, Ticket Com- mittee Bob is the male representative of the redheads in our class. We don't know whether it's those wavy auburn locks or that croon- ing baritone voice that attracts the femmes, but he certainly gets them. Herbert Meyer Herb Herb's ability for making a person feel ridiculous, is unequal- ed, for he certainly is full of witty remarks and is a sure tonic for the blues. La Verne Mowry Mowry P h i lo, Reporters, Thespians, South Hi Dramatists, journalism, World, Yearbook, ORlOLE, Ad- vertising Committee Mary's better half is quite a little girl but this way there is no room for any badness. La Verne is quite an important student in the school, since she is connected with all the extra-curricular ac- tivities, besides being an A pupil. Robert Muirhead Bob South Hi Dramatists, Class Play We haven't come to know Bob as well as we would like to be- cause he has just come into' our class this semester. But we are glad that he decided to graduate in three and one-half years be- cause he certainly is an asset with his droll humor and engaging grins iand spontaneous blushesl. NOVEMBER Albert G. Kountz, jr. Al Botzoo, Chemistry, Vice-Pres- ident, '34, Radio, ORlOLE News Staff, Yearbook Staff, Class Play Although -Al has science writ- ten all over his face, he would make an excellent poet. For he has even published a book of poems! He is also interested in photography, journalism, dramat- ics, and is quite a versatile lad. Margaret Ann Lindner Peg Senior Leaders, Student Coun- cil, National Honor, Yearbook Staff Peg is one of those rare people who fit in everywhere. She is a marvelous dancer and an excel- lent student. Her ambitious na- ture is envied and she will be sorely missed on future yearbook staffs. Andrew Manko Giggles Senior Life Saving, Varsity, Swimming, Assistant Manager, Football Team, '33, Class Color, Advertising Committee Giggles is quite a gigolo. But when it comes to swimming he becomes very serious. By the way, a certain blonde beauty has as- tonishing luck in p r o d u ci n g bluzhes on this lad. Gilbert Mervosh Gil Radio, Chemistry, Class Color, Varsity The Silent Serbian is an ap- propriate surname for Gil. De- spite his quietness he is respected and admired by many, and his F r e n c h would even make a Frenchman sit up and take notice. Mary Lou Miklas Chief Philo, Secretary, '34, Treasurer, '32, Dramatics, Thespians, Re- porters, Business, News Staff, President, '32, ORlOLE N e w s, Student Council, World, Quill and Scroll, National Honor, Class P I a y, Advertising Committee, Flower Committee We certainly are proud of our editor -in - chief. She is one of those rare people who seems to have the ability to do everything as nearly perfect as possible. She has hosts of friends but her in- separable pal is La Verne. Bernard Muehlbauer Bernie Dramatic, Thespians, Camera, Class Play, Class Costume Com- mittee When it comes to describing Bernie, we do not know just where to start, for he is quite a versatile lad. His dark hair and brown eyes are certainly irresisti- ble to the girls. But he maintains that his is a woman hater, that flowers are nicer. Oh Yeah! Wilhelmina Marie Nagel ' Minnie I junior Class, Vice - President, '33, Type Trophy, Secretary, '32, Girl Reserves, Reporters, Philo, Class Motto. Wilma is one of those girls that we all like to walk and talk with. She has exceptional organizing ability and is always ready to do her part when called upon. jo is her best pal and vocal harmon- izer. 6.-Open House Night explains exactly the social gathering of parents at South. The Philo and Ayita Societies furnished the amusement, assisted by the band. The parents certainly enjoyed the night and asked for many more events of this type. 6.-To-day every student was asked to participate in a Mock Election. The experiment proved to be a great success 6.-- The chief purpose of education is to train the mind and the will to do the work you have to do when that work ought to be done, whether you like to do it or not. Dr. Charles E. Barker's address was one of the most impressive speeches we have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Eleanor Rita Narodzonek El S e n i o r Leaders, Reporters, Camera, Senior Life Savings, Bas- ketball, Class Play Dark curly hair, dark laughing eyes, a petulant mouth, and you have Eleanor. She's a Heavenly toddler too, besides b e i n g a good actress. 'Nuff said. Stephen Okarma Ticky Mrs. Okarma's little boy Steve has quite a host of friends in South who are going to miss his mischievous smiles and banters. Are we right, Miss Goldstein? Thomas 0'Sullivan Tom Chemistry, Student, T i c k e 1' Committee Tom is the male representative for the honor students. He is a very business-like man, and like the proverbial Irishman, is very witty. Stanley I. Pieklo Pickles Class Play How we envy the way Pickles wades through history! ! ! l And wouldn't the lunch crew be lost without him? Pickles has proven himself a real friend by his will- ing and earnest attitude. Walter Pusateri Walt Senior L i f e Saving, Varsity, Football Tall, dark and handsome fits Walt to a T. And Walt has proved himself an ambitious young chap in graduating in three and one- half years. George Raynovich Lefty Bachelor Lefty is our idea of a hand- some brute. He has lovely curly dark hair, brown eyes, and a mil- lion dollar smile. Sorry girls, but he's already taken, isn't he, julia? Ruth Redlinger Ruthie News Business Staff, Ayita, Student Council, South Hi Dram- atists, Thespians, Class Color Ruthie is the closest double of Boots, the little blond who has won her way into our h e a r t s through the Press comic page, that we have ever seen. And she is not only good looking-she can dance and sing extraordinar- ily well, too. Pearl Netzer Pearly Gates Botzoo, Chemistry, Swimming, Basketball, Life Saving, Adver- tising Committee Did you ever hear anything quite so sweet as Pearl's voice? We haven't, and we're willing to bet that it will go a long way in bringing her fame and fortune. Pearl is also an A student and a prize swimmer. Nevol Oldenburg Nevol Girl Reserves, Dramatics, Life Saving, Thespians, World, Stu- dent Council, Swimming Team Nevol is one of the nicest girls we know, and one of the best dancers too, She has a cheery smile and a friendly word for everyone. Eleanor Pavone El Thespians, Student Counc'l Eleanor reminds us of a little kewpie doll with her big brown eyes and captivating dimples. De- spite her cunning ways, she has an air of sophistication. She is an excellent student, a good dancer, wears good looking clothes-and well-some people get all the breaks. john P. Postellon Possy Hi-Y, President, '32, Senior Leaders, Life Saving, Camera Possy gets our vote for the class clown. He certainly can pull the funny boners. Some day he may become a comedian on the air, who knows? Go ahead, Possy, we'll be glad to hear you. Erben Raynor Ebenezer B a n d, Orchestra, Chemistry, Camera A person that can be trusted is worth knowing and we certainly trust Erben. He has been elected report room treasurer for years and also has the job of taking care of banking. He is a promi- nent member of the band and also of the Women Hater's Club. Dorothy Rectanus Dot Senior Girl Reserves, President, '33, '34, Dramatics, South Hi Dramatlsts, Botzoo, Basketball, Ticket Committee The class of '34 is not the only one that is losing out when Dot goes, but the Girl Reserves are losing a very good president. She's a girl whom all respect and admire for her sweet disposition. Alice Richardson Alice Reporters, Girl Reserves, Bot- zoo, World, Swimming Alice is a little lady of very few words. Her mother taught her never to use the word hate, but she says it's the only word that really describes her feelings towards HaIleck's History of Eng- lish Literature. 22.-Learn to control your emotions, especially the emotion of fight. This was the theme of the talk given by Dr. Earl Barnes. Never let your fighting spirit get the best of you, was just one sentence of his most enjoyable talk. 23.-Senior A's held a meeting to-day. You know the Seniors always have so much to talk over and discuss that there seems to be no end to impromptu meetings. 29.-A Thanksgiving Dance for Seniors was held in the gym at 3:05. My! that Mickie Mouse Orchestra sounds good these days. No school till next month, was perhaps one reason for our high spirits at the dance. sixteen seventeen Arthur E. Roth Art Art is a very capable young man who looks exceptionally well in green sweaters. He is usually seen behind the candy counter or with Nevol. He is quite a jocular creature and is the life of every party. Edward Sampson Ed Camera: Chemistry: R a d i o, President, '34: Bachelors: World Marconi ll. Yes sir, this radio bug is all wired up about it. He's very quiet, which means that he thinks a lot. Some day his pen- siveness may mean an invention. Here's to you, Ed. Rote Sculimbrene Chubby Basketball: Hostess: Reporters: South Hi Dramatists: Thespians: World Chubby has only been with our class one semester but we like her so well that we wish it had been more. She is so iolly and full of fun that she amassed quite a fortune of friends in our class. Alma H. Siegfried Siggy Thespians: Life Saving: jour- nalism: Senior Leaders: Senior Treasurer, '34: Class Day: Swim- ming: Tennis: Student Council Our attractive Siggy's excellent leadership ability was not made known to us until she was made chairman ot the Class Day Pro- gram. This only made this lovable brown-eyed miss all the more valuable and popular to an al- ready appreciative host of friends. Chester Stupack Ches Varsity: Football There just isn't anything that Ches can't do. He's ambitious enough to graduate in three and one-half years: he's a marvelous dancer: an excellent tenor: and he sure can slay them with his magician's tricks. ' Daria P. Tkach Dottie South Hi Dramatists: Thes- pians: Chemistry: Class Play The author of the Russian bal- lad, Dark Eyes, must have been thinking of Daria when he wrote his immortal love song, for she is just our idea of an exotic Rus- sian beauty. And, incidentally, we know that a certain post- graduate thoroughly agrees with us. Rose Ella Towarnike Roey Senior Life Saving: Girl Re- serves: Reporters: Swimming: Track: Volley Ball This little Russian b e a u t y somewhat mystifies us by her in- difference to the male sex. Per- haps there is some lucky boy out- side of school who has such a big spot in her heart that there is no room for anybody else. DECEMBER Frances Alice Ruhling Franny Senior Life Saving: S e n i o r Leaders: Thespians: S o u th Hi Dramatists: Swimming: Basket- ball: Volley Ball: Track I Franny's middle name is pep. For she has plenty of it. She ex- cels in three great lines of en- deavor-swimming, dancing, and gum-chewing. Albert Schiffhauer Schaffer Senior Hi-Y: Reporters: Track Team: Class Day: Class Play Schaffer is the answer to a maiden's prayer. He plays big brother ,to all the girls in his class. His friendly encouragement and helpfulness won't be forgot- ten very soon. Mary Shack Scotts Girl Reserves: Reporters: Ma- terial Committee Scotts is another member of the H. H. Club--History Haters. But we feel sure that Mary knows the value of other treasures by her choice of friends land mate- rial for Class Day dressesl. Harry Sowa Speed We wish this lad would tell us a little about himself, but no, he seems inclined to be the modest type. He's a staunch woman- hater, but we happen to know that he is the secret passion of a certain little miss. Emily M. Tiderman Millie Senior Leaders: Senior Girl Re- serves: Reporters EmiIy's sweet, reserved nature has netted her many worthwhile friends. Her other good points are too numerous to list, but you can see john for the details. lohn C. Torbitt Scotty Camera: Student Council: Life Saving: Chemistry Scotty always gets roped for the student council for he does a good job in representing us there. Scotty is a marvelous dancer and could be quite popular with his feminine classmates if he would forget about a certain miss who doesn't attend South. Howard E. Wagner Curly Thespians: Bachelors I A dimly lit room, acozy chair, log fire, and Curly's silvery vozce coming over the air-what could be sweeter? This may come true some day, who knows? 4.-A glare of mysterious lights, reflections cast by instruments of glass and a dimly lighted- auditorium, give us the ideal atmosphere of this assembly period, when the Chemistry Club pre- sented an exhibition of its skill. 8.-Played Mount Lebanon High, giving them a hard fight. Score, 29-16. 12.-The second basketball game of the season was won by South's Orioles at the market house to-day. l8.-South's team is getting so good at basketball that it can almost lick a team with its eyes closed. The score was 42-l6. Ralph H. Weaver Ralph Botzoo: South Hi Dramatists: Varsity: Chemistry: Radio, Vice- President, '34: Track: Swimming: Class Play Ralph is another radio enthusi- ast. He is also another Woshner enthusiast. He's full of fun and takes all the laurels for being a teacher's pest. Milton Weisman Wimpy Botzoo, Treasurer, '33: Thes- pians: Radio Does Wimpy have a sense of humor, or does he have a sense of humor? You bet he does. His minutes of meetings are side- splitting and are characteristic of everything he does. Valentina Alyce Woshner Vallie Orchestra: Band: Girl Reserves: Stamp Vallie has been with us only a short time but we wonder how we ever got along without her brown curls and sweet smile. And can this little lady tickle the ivories? Her other musical accom- plishments are no less worthy of praise. Wanda I. Zabowski Vina Girl Reserves: Reporters: Cam- era: Type Trophy: Student Coun- cil: Picture Committee A peach of a pair, is the way we express our thoughts about Vina and her athletic shad- ow. South's halls will be quite lonely without these two. Leona Zimmerman Nonie Girl Reserves: Leaders: South Hi Dramatists: Thespians: World Nonie believes that a person learns more by gathering infor- mation than by scattering it, so Twila Weaver Twilight Ayita: Girl Reserves: Senior B President, '33: Dramatics: ORI- OLE News Staff: Yearbook: Na- tional Honor: Advertising Com- mittee: Material Committee Twila is a typical American girl. She takes part in sports, does not neglect her studies, is quite an a c t i v e member of several clubs, and likes a good time. Her great amount of poise climaxes her attractive personality. Alice Wilson Alice Girl Reserves, President, '33, Vice - President, '34: S t a m p: Band: Orchestra: South Hi Dram- atists. We feel sure that some day we will be proud to have known Alice, for her many orphic accom- plishments have already made her an outstanding figure in music circles. Marie Zablotska Zazu Senior Girl Reserves: South Hi Dramatists, Vice-President, '33, '34: ORIOLE: World Years from now Zazu's name will be blazed in white lights in all the theaters: her praise will be on the tongue of every movie fan: and her wistful countenance will grace many a magazine. For this little lady has a career ahead Q-That is, if Nor doesn't inter- ere. La Verne Zattler Vernie South Hi Dramatists: Girl Re- serves, Treasurer, '32, '33: Bas- betballg Class Costume: C I a s s Play La Verne is a lovable girl with sweet dimples. She is an accom- plished dancer, and has recently demonstrated her abilities as an actress. Will you ever forget her as Mrs. Dappleton? she is a lady of very few words. Nevertheless, t h is quietness is very charming when coupled with a sweet disposition and makes Nonie a very lovable girl. IANUARY Note: With the coming of this month of months the Seniors, with all the vigor and pep needed to begin a program for a Class Day, proceeded to their task. Due to the many meetings and im- promptu class groupings, it would take more than the space provided to mention every date on which the gatherings for class days were held, but near to the heart of every Senior of '34 is the memory of those practices and trials from which came one of the best Class Day programs South High has ever witnessed. ' l2.-Almost every Senior was present at the Pageant at Syria Mosque, and they all will agree it was a most remarkable exhibit of dramatic talent. Our school presented one scene in which cabinet members of many years ago entered into negotiations to extend the Public School System in Pennsylvania. l'7.-Do you remember when we Seniors proudly represented South at the Convocation Ser- vices at Memorial Hall? There's not one of us who didn't thrill as our representative took the platform and we rose in recognition of him. Yes, this is one moment of moments we'd all like to live over. l9.-Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy! and a couple more yells. This is the day, and what a day! What Senior can forget it? Blue and Pink bow ties, hair ribbons and ankle socks were only a few of the features of the class day costumes which made them unusual. Tickets sold like hot cakes, and before half the day was ended a full house for the afternoon performance was assured. Then came that thrilling moment before the curtain rose. lf we could only live through it all again. Everyone was wildly enthusiastic, and if we seniors must say it ourselves, it was a whooping success. 30.-Tears and laughter compose this long awaited day. This was our last night together as a class. Did it not bring a little moisture to your eye and a little sigh from your lips as you said fare- well to those companions of four years standing? And didn't you wish secretly that you could turn back the hands of time and live it over again? Well, All's Well that Ends Well said Shakespeare, and so say we as we enter the World to seek our place among those who have gone before. Farewell, Farewell: parting is such sweet sorrow That we must say goodbye till it be tomorrow. eigb teen nineteen SEZ ME As I was about to say, Sez Me, there comes a time when we look, see, and say-this is prophesying. Yea, 'tis musing on the lyre. And yet, withal, as the philosopher would say, The effect is already within the cause, even as the freshness of the rose is to be found in the crystalline beauty of the summer's dew. So, Sez lvle, is the saltness of the pretzel to be found in its salt? Where- fore, it stands to reason, that as the present is the result of the past, so the future, of necessity, must be the result of the present. Which brings me to the muse on the pure snow flakes-South Hi Students, who, rolling on, are to grow into the snowball and eventually into the snow man of the future. Thus, Katherine Bachman, passing through the stages of a good student, will soon teach even better than she herself learned. Phyllis Brown, constantly growing in charm, will bring the effect on her beholders of a full blown rose. Arthur Geisey, a chosen president and born leader, will develop in his line, and who knows what heights he may reach. Robert Cray, Beau Brummel, tripping the gay fantastic, may slide into graces unexpected. Albert Kountz, a budding scientist with a concentration of a biological explorer, though he exercise his keen observing powers on rodents mainly, should go much farther, and thereby hangs a tale. Edith Krueger, manifesting brilliancy of head, inside as well as out, will reach much farther. Many honors are in store for Edith. Thomas O'Sullivan, with steady stride is well set for honors and success. His stick-to-itivity will carry him through all vicissitudes, and his bold fearlessness and courage will act as a tonic on all his friends. john Postellon, a leader in progressive fraternity work, will map out new and intricate paths of manly achievement. Good luck to him and all his Zylchers. Edward Samson, a very Samson when it comes to dealing with ether waves. The lurking voices of the past will be lassoed yet and what a tale is in store for us when Samson will step-lem-up. john Torbitt, with a flare for mathematics, will figure to a nicety, how to vanquish and win the heart of a charming debutante heiress---a most interesting and enviable- possibility. Howard Wagner will profusely tell a listening world what they ought and what they ought not to know. Ralph Weaver, happy and without care, proclaims to the world the old philosophy that, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, so bother not about the morrow , for who knoweth a hunter's luck. A man may go forth fully armed to bag a bear, and running into a beehive, find honey. Vallie Woshner, dominating octaves, bends them to her will and causes them to waft sweet strains upon all who are ready to lend their ears. Her musical ability shows finesse, practice, and care. Keep it up Woshner, the wash- ing of imperfections is always the result of constant application. ln the end you will find that all music starts and finishes with do-what price. losephine Bauer, lovely, good-natured, will cut a big niche for herself--Kate Smith had better look out for her laurels. As she descendeth, so josephine will ascend. Mary Fedornak has the fundamentals of culture. She caught it, it emanates from every inch of her being. ln a hurry-up world of today, culture must ever remain the stabilizing governor. Keep it up Mary. lohn Grad will make his way through the world. The way to get through obstacles is to get through, bringing everything with you. john did it often before, and as the future is a result of the present, we can see what Grad will do when he grows up. Margaret Linder, happy thou who possesseth the weapon of Shakespeare, Byron, Lamb, and Ad- dison. Cood English is thy forte. Keep it up, you will show them as Tennyson did. Andrew Manko, is a tidal wave. When Weismuller wanes, Andy will swim on and on, literally be in the big swim. Robert McClure chordsthe song as 'twas never chorded before. I will let secret out. One of your admirers itold me that when you sing a song the best one can do is to say, A singer sang a song, and this is how the singer sang--,H but further than that only Robert can reenact. LaVerne Mowry, and Mary Miklas can scoop a page full where others could not get a line. This journalistic acumen. lt's worth developing girls, Dickens did it. Wilma Nagel, sweet, beautiful, a lady. Wherever she goes, she brings the classic type of a good student. lf Wilma only knew her gifts, she could rest assured that the future has much in store for her. Steve O'Karma, taciturn, purposeful, no triflerg he knows what he wants and will not be deflected from his goal. Men of this demeanor, the Zodiac says, cannot help but win. So here's good luck Steven. Helen jackson. a friend of a friend of the good and great, and as the old geometry says that Things equal to the same magnitude are equal to each other, Helen is equal to her task and will get there. All success to Helen. Wanda jabowski, Wanda we do not wonder but that the path you have before you will lead you to the fulfillment of your heart's desires. Alma Siegfried and Frances Ruhling are no more entirely alike than two diamonds would be. Yet they, showing the same traits, are both sprightly, charming, vivacious, modern. My muse was about to extend itself into further probing and speculation, when lo and behold my lyre showed signs of fatigue, preventing me from going farther. Hastening my conclusions, I must forego mentioning the remainder of the equally worthy members of our fraternity and sorority, simply stating, that from beginning to end, from alpha to zeta, they will all bring new honors, and let us say with pardonable pride, glory to the Alma Mater-Old South High. Sez Who? Sez Me. CLASS DAY To the strains of Here Comes the Showboat, the February graduating class opened the first musical revue at South High. Bill Guthrie, as Captain Henry, assured the audience that it was Own-leeee thee beginnin', folksl Own-leee-thee-beginnin' l Then what seemed like the Chester Hale girls and boys danced and sang and cavorted about. This was followed by a short sketch about the mysterious Annie who Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Our old pal, Rudy Vallee lHoward Wagnerl sang that familiar Your Time is My Time. That nasal quality hasn't changed a bit. Valentine Washner, violinist, and Mary Fleck, trombonist, played At Dawning, accompanied by the orchestra. losephine Bauer, our own little Kate Smith, did her best to get that moon over that mountain. Then the dream began a-walking, and the dreams began a-talking, as Pearl Netzer and Howard Wagner danced in a dream with a chorus of dreamers in the background. Art. Creisey C7 Co. made hay while the sun shone. Twenty fingers of sweetness--Valentina Woshner and Alice Wilson at the Grand.', What sweet harmony, what sweet girls! The orchestra now held the limelight for awhile, playing a delightful medley of songs. An imtation of Bing Crosby by Bod, McClare was followed by a parade of Easter fashions-vintage of l89O. lAhh l Those hatsg those dresses ll Edward Samson's imitation of the street singer was next in order. Now the stage was darkened except for the single candle that rested on an old-fashioned organ. About the organ three misses, losephine Bauer, Wilma twenty twenty-one Nagel, and Ruth Redlinger, dressed in old-fashioned costumes, sang The Old Spinning Wheel. . Following this, Eva Funk and a mixed group sat on a log and a-petted their dogs. Gracie Allen and George Burns were there in the persons of Alma Siegfried and Bernie Meulbauer. The class orchestra now demonstrated its talent by playing the fast rhythm, Riding the Weed Ship. Next in order was Gypsy Nina lMarie Zablotskai and her mandolin, singing and playing tantalizing melodies. This was followed by a mixed group singing The Same Silver Moon. And now for the feature of the evening-two rollicking, fast moving, one- act comedies. The first, Sauce For the Goslingsf' tells the clever scheme grandma thought up to cure her grandson and granddaughter of using vulgar slang. The cast was composed of Albert Schiffhauer, father, Mary Miklas, motherg Bernard Muehlbauer, song Edith Kreuger, daughter, Margaret Hough, grandmother, john Grad, a guestg Daria Tkach, a maid. The second play, The Economic Boomerang, concerned a man who wanted his wife to economize by making her own dress. She consents, on condition that she may use him as a dressmaker's dummy. Mirth-provoking results follow. The cast included Albert Kountz, the husband, La Verne Zattler, wifeg Stanley Pieklo and Margaret Greh, guests, losephine Bauer, maid, and Roy Hirth, doctor. At last the grand finale with everyone singing There Goes the Showboatf' It was a perfect entertainment, with all success due to Miss Davidson, Miss Frost, Miss Wehmeier, Mr. Dean, and all Senior A's.

The one hundred and ninety-one members of the june class have held to this measuring stick, thirty-two graduating with honors. High attainment has not only been reached scholastically but in other fields as well. One member of the class and also member of the ORIOLE News Staff has been enrolled in the Quill and Scroll Society, a society requiring high journalistic ability. The class has also attained a high athletic standard. Seven ot its members were members ofthe State Championship Team of l934. But the attainments of this class are not only high but broad and cultural as well. It is well known that music has been a cultural subject as far back as the Old Athenian civilization and that one distinguishes a cultural people from a barbaric people by its type of music. Twenty-tour members of the class were either band or orchestra members. Literature, which is also a cultural subject, has not been neglected. Thirty-nine members of the class were members of either the Philo or Ayita Literary Societies. standards ot today's civilization. Stella VM. Stein B R. C. urghardt twenty-two il Q it .

Good looks and an in- terest in s c h o ol activities bring him to the front ranks. Alice A. Chronowiat-Bot- zoo, Worldg Camera Another m e m b e r of the fair and silent sex.

Walter M. Cielen-Varsity, ju n i o r Hi- Yg Chemistry, Chef's: Basketball Manager Walter did a mighty good job of helping john to man- age the basketball team.

DriscoIl-Report- ersg Thespians, Debut Not a care in the world best describes Phyll's atti- tude.

Farbotnik-Ayitag Senior Girl Reserves, Senior Dramatic: Orchestra Hail to our women of mu- sic! Yes, Mary has it to her finger tips. She's a member of both our band and orches- tra. lMaybe that is why they are such a success-lt takes the women.l Ralph F.

Surely it must be a handicap in a parlor. Ruth L. Groenert-Student Council, President, '33: Ay- ita: History and Travel Serious, dignified and at- tractive. She as unusual ex- ecutive ability and a wonder- ful way of making friends and high grades. Ruth A. Hand-Botzoo: Senior Girl Reserves: Camera Ruth is so quiet that we never realize she is around until she is called upon to re- cite. She is very serious but when she does smile, we have the feeling that the sun is coming out from behind a cloud. She is a friend worth cultivating. Marita Freund - S e n io r Leaders Shrimp never gets ex- cited, but takes things calm- ly, just as they come, except for her dancing. lf you know her, you probably realize this to be true and by this time appreciate her keen sense of humor, too! Cecelia Gawrich - Debut: Camera: Thespians: Reporters Blonde hair, Blue Eyes, is the way an author usually de- scribes such a miss as Cecila. But Cecila is the real thing and no creation of fiction. Betty Hahne- Dramatics: Ayita: Debut Betty is loyalty personified and for this reason has many true friends. She has proved her worth in her classes and is an ardent supporter of all school activities. Monica I.

Rowland Hill-Kodak: His- tory and Travel: Camera Tall, good looking with a regular school girl complex- ion. He scorns the idea of carrying home books and yet he usually comes to class pre- pared. Walter A. Hunchak- Chemistry: Radio: German: Orchestra: Swimming Team A second Rubinoff-that's Walter. He spends most of his time with his violin and will be sorely missed in the or- chestra. Like all musicians, he's a little absent - minded and never realizes he's talk- ing in clas until reminded of the fact by his teacher. Carl R. jansen--German: Senior Aircraft: Stu d e n t Council Does he blush or does he blush? He is a sociable chap, neat, tall, and good looking. We wonder why the girls haven't begun to rush him.

I m m e k u s- Chemlstry: World: German: Varsity: Band: Senior Aircraft Frank -Frank always did have, always does have and always will have an alibi for everything. If he's late it's because another teacher held him up: if he flunks, it's be- cause the teacher didn't un- derstand him. In spite of it all he is one of our most pop- ular lads. Phyllis A. jones I -It is the belief of some that it is she alongwith her friends who is keeping Wrigley's and Clark's in business, for she is always s e e n masticating a wad of noise. A n n Karley -- Reporters: Dramatists: Thespians: Debut . She's a friend worth hav- ing. Her stimulating sense of humor prevails in 306.

His witty sayings have m a d e him a s h i n i n g favorite with the ladies. Anna D. janitor-World Club: Kodak: Camera: Senior Girl Reserves: Dramatics: Bot- zoo: Auto Drivers C-ot an extra lunch check? This is her daily cry. She is a jolly girl and doesn't seem to have any troubles ex- cept ' those of other people which she shares. Helen Karaffa-S e n i o r Leaders: Reporters This tiny miss desires to make some business man re- quire the help of a very good commercial student. Her skill in shorthand and type is not to be denied. Loretta E. Kirley--Senior Life Saving: Chemistry: Stu- dent Council Our sweet Irish maiden is a real asset to the class.

We have found him equal to any task, whether it be tak- ing a kodak picture, running down an ad or writing an edi- torial. He doesn't know what it means to receive a low grade. His aim in life is a secret which he won't discuss. Margaret A. Leonard-Art: Hostess They say that good things come in small packages. Here's a sweet bit of evidence to prove this statement, for this girl has a voice that would thrill a nation. joseph I.

Lipinski-Re- porters: Auto Drivers: Varsi- ty: Baseball Team . We fear Sylvester hides his light under a bushel, for we find his retiring nature rather stands in the way of getting to know him better. Andrew Manko-S e n io r Swimming Team Andy -A handsome and skillful member of our swim- ming team, who has won enough medals to fill a trophy case of his own. He has done more than his share in bring- ing honors to dear old South. r Olga E.

Here with john Wolfe and joseph Dailey, he is able to furnish lightning, thunder, or sunshine as the play demands. Outside of school, radio is his hobby. Theresa D. Mant: Dizzy -Starting to make her second million, 'cause the first is the hardest-that's Tress. Call her Dizzy that suits her best. She's always in a hurry not a minute to spare. As generous, courageous, and studious as can be, but with one handicap-palpitatlon of the tongue. losephine Kozikowski- Camera: Auto Drivers: Dram- atists: Girl Reserves josephine doesn't say much so we take it for granted that she knows a lot.

But he certainly can act in those love scenes. George F. Mackey-Bas- ketball: Football: Senior Air- craft: Camera: Baseball: Var- sity Leaders No one enjoys a joke more than George. Athletics and eating are his outstanding ac- complishments: he never lets his studies interfere with his pleasures. No indeed-not George.

The Negro servants as well as their masters and mistresses in their colorful masquerade costumes, take turns in entertaining the party with various stunts. This is the substance of the plot of Plantation jubilee, an informal minstrel chosen by the june Class of '34 as a vehicle by which to display their talents on Class Day. This minstrel, devised and written by the Senior A's and their advisors, gave ample opportunity to the members of the class to display their talents in dia- logue, dancing, recitations and vocal and instrumental numbers. What talents they were tool Tap dancers, who surprised and thrilled their audiences by their marked ability, performed a Pony Boy Tap to the accom- paniment of the Last Round Up, and participated in a novelty Negro dance and song number, Golden Slippers. The Three Little Pigsn sketch caused much hilarity. The little pigs, jack Schaffer, Mervin Layton, and Marion Sobczak, gambled blithelyg the big bad wolf, john Wolfe, huffed and puffed while Theresa Mantz sang the lyrics. With a charming rustic scene as a background George Mackey sang Waitin' at the Cate for Katie, with Helen Sitar as the coy Kate. Several Negro spirituals, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and Lonesome Road, were sung by the entire group. The colored mammy, Ruth Croenert, and her children, called by such color- ful names as Asparagus and Amaryllis, played an important part in the enter- tainment. Mary Farbotnik, a beautiful Indian maiden, was serenaded by a brave, Franklyn Williams, in the colorful Indian Love Call number. 'Coin' to l-leaven on a Mule, Lazy Bones, 'iBeautiful Ladyl' and Golden Slippers were some of the humorous Negro numbers. These with a Virginia reel performed by the gentlemen farmers added greatly to the mirth of the evening. The quaint costumes of the girls and boys in the C-low Worm, Old Grey Bonnet and Minuet added an old-fashioned touch to the vivid scene, while a Spanish tango and song, gave a foreign flavor to the program. The joke committee, john Bodnar, Robert Faust, and Charles Popovich, furnished many laughs during the evening. The program was presented under the direction of Marse Ned iWalter Spakl who acted as Master of Ceremonies. The long-winded welcoming speech of Charles Rohaus, as the colored Par- son jones, caused much merriment. One of the real treats of the evening was a one-act play Thank You, Doctor. In this were the nurse-Clara Schmidt, a thief-Maryalda Freund, the doctor-Mike Serednetski, a messenger-l-larry Seltzer and the maniac- john Bodnar. The delighted response of their audience proved to the senior A's their wisdom in having chosen this combination of Class Day and Class Play by which to display their numerous talents. Credit for this entertainment goes to Miss Stein, Miss Wehmeier, Miss Kline, Miss Davies and Mr. Burghardt. thirty-four thirty-five This nation of ours needs only men and women who are sincere. If you are prepared to leave South High having possessed for yourself this quality which you will make your own for all time, then your work has been well done. 1. M. McLaughlin. One ship drives east and another drives west, Witlw the self-same winds that blow, 'Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That tell them the way to go. Like the winds ofthe sea are the winds of fate, As we voyage along through life, 'Tis the set of the soul That decides its goal And not the calm or the strife. As you embark upon the sea of life's ac- tivities, my wish and my prayer are that, whether the winds be favorable or adverse, you may finally reach that harbor of success which brings real pleasure, happiness, and contentment.

Representative, Anna Lapyczak STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Cooperative Association of South High School has been most successful in its experiences of the year. This august body, composed of the presidents and additional representatives elected by the various rooms, repre- sents over 2,000 students. The purpose of this group is to cooperate with the faculty in improving the conditions of the school. The work of the council is carried out through a system of committees, the chairman of which, together with the officers, compose the executive commit- tee. The following committees have been functioning during the past year: attendance, welfare, locker, lunch room, traffic, door, athletic, art, sanitation, and library. Although a number of last year's members were lost through gradu- ation, a sufficient number of the old guard were returned to furnish capable and experienced officers and heads for all committees. The problems of the school are first brought before the executive committee who in turn present them to the council for action. During the second semester stress was placed on the teaching of correct parliamentary procedure. It is certain that this training will be invaluable to the members in later life. Much of the counciI's success during the past year must be attributed to its able sponsors, Mrs. Vxforley and Mr. MacDonald, and to its capable officers. I STUDENT COUNCIL President, Dush Mamulag Vice-President, Elmer Merkel, Secretary, Madeline Milroth' Treasurer, Arthur Ekiertg O. Representative, Anna Lapyczak I forty Extra-curricular activities, in addi- tion to providing a diversion from the formal routine of the class room, also play an important part in rounding out the education of the student. There are clubs for those who wish to delve more deeply into some school subject than the outlined course permitsg there are activities for those seeking training in somesubject not taught in school, and there are clubs for those who are de- sirous of cultivating some hobby so that they may profitably spend their leisure time. In addition to its distinct function, each club provides training in organization. government. The worth of extra-curricular activities has be- come apparent and they are now in- cluded in the education of every high school student. The program of extra-curricular ac- tivities at SOUTH HIGH presents a selection of clubs to suit the needs and desires of every boy and girl. For the student of chemistry who wishes to increase his knowledge be- yond the facts gleaned from text books, there is the CHEMISTRY club. Simi- larly, there is the BOTZOO club for the student of biology. For the shorthand student who is desirous of enhancing his ability in this line by combining further practice with social events, there is the REPORTERS' club. A fine opportunity is afforded for the student who is interested in dra- matics and is eager to augment his abilities in this field. For the Seniors there are the THESPIANS and SOUTH HI DRAMATIC clubs. There is also a TENTH GRADE DRAMATIC club and a NINTH GRADE DRAMATIC club for the pupils of those grades. There are many clubs for the culti- vation of hobbies. There is the CAM- ERA club where one may learn the in- teresting and profitable art of photog- raphy. The WORLD club enables its members to look upon the people of other countries more understandingly by carrying on foreign correspondence with them. In this class also belong the AUTO DRIVERS, AIRCRAFT, KNIT- TING, SCRAP BOOK, SKETCH, and RA D I O clubs, all of which explain themselves and afford an opportunity to pursue a worthwhile hobby. I Membership into the AYITA and PHILO Literary Societies is a reward for the student who has shown ability and interest in literature. For the student who is athletically inclined there are clubs where he may increase his abilities along this line. There is the VARSITY club for boys forty-one AYITA LITERARY SOCIETY IIUNEI Pres. ........ Ruth Croenert V.-Pres.---Charles Hiltabidle Sec'y---PetronelIa Paulikonis Treas. .s...... Arthur Ekiert O.

The student who is interested in journalism may receive practice and development in this field by seeking a position on the ORIOLE NEWS STAFF. The HOME R O O M ORGANIZA- TION gives the students an opportunity to elect their own officers, a m o n g which are representatives to the STU- DENT COUNCIL. Thus, the student government is placed, through repre- sentation, in the hands of the students and a more democratic and responsible feeling prevails. Then too, those elected receive invaluable training in leader- ship. The language clubs of which there are the G E R M A N, FRENCH, and S P A N I S H, broaden the linguistic knowledge of the language students by affording them a chance to learn inter- esting facts connected with the lan- guage they are studying, outside of the technical facts of the text book. This is the program of extra-curricu- lar activities offered at South. Credit goes to Mr. MacDonald, Director of Ac- tivities, for arranging such a complete and diversified program of activities, and to the sponsors of the various clubs who so capably head their groups. The worth ot these activities cannot be de- nied, and it is hoped that they will live through the years, losing none of the prestige that they enjoyed the past year. . THESPIANS The Senior Dramatics has been di- vided into two divisions, called the Thespians and South Hi Dramatics, due to the large enrollment and interest shown in this club. The Thespians, of which the Senior A's were members, met every second and fourth Friday in room 209 and were sponsored by Miss Kline. The programs given throughout the semester were interesting and at- tractive. Many times all the club mem- bers took part in programs showing how to create self expression in panto- mime and words. Each member of the club is given a chance to participate in any of the plays, recitations, or panto- mimes. After a member has been in three plays, or done the equivalent work of three plays lsuch as typing or make-upl a South High Dramatic pin is given as a reward for the member's work. The work of the Thespian club was so attractive that everyone in the forty-two y I' fggvi club tried out for a part as soon as a play was selected. With such spirit, it is no wonder the Christmas play, The Doctor of Lonesome Folk was such a success. The officers for the September se- mester were as follows: President ....... Mike Serednetski Vice-President---Nevol Oldenburg Secretary ...... ..... H elen Sitar Treasurer ........ Ruth Redlinger ORIOLE Reporter---Alma Seigfried LIBRARY COMMITTEE The work of the Library Committee is of no small importance to the effi- cient control ofthe library. By perform- ing the various odd jobs around the library, the library committee enables the librarians to give their personal attention to the pupils. To be admitted as a member of this committee, one must have a high scho- lastic standing and an earnest desire to do library work. As in all important fields, the ap- plicant must start from the bottom. The new members of the committee are given only meager tasks to per- form. As they become accustomed to the work of the library and gain the confidence of the librarian, they are given more responsible work. The high- est distinction that comes to the mem- bers of this committee is to be ap- pointed to do desk work. Only those members who prove themselves highly capable receive this distinction. Certificates of recognition, signed by the librarian, are presented to those members who in the opinion of the librarian have served and performed their duties most faithfully. SENIOR GIRL RESERVES To the Senior Girl Reserves goes the distinction of being one of the most active clubs in the school. This organ- ization is composed of earnest and con- scientious girls, endeavoring To face life squarely and to find and give the best. The wonderful cookie. sales, the en- lightening entertainments given at the Home for lncurables and The Orphans' Home, and the dressing of dolls for the poor at Christmas occupied the high- lights of their activities. In addition to these there were other activities of significance. The Recogni- tion Services held each semester at the Y. W. C. A. for the new girls and the Get Acquainted Programs also added distinction to the girls of the Blue Tri- angle. forty-three . V11Qf1'Y df'AJ 0' i 'I WORLD CLUB Pres. .........

The Girl Reserves may look back upon the past year with pride, They are now more able to travel life's road and to appreciate the fincr things of life. INTERNATIONAL NIGHT Appropriately for the Melting Pot issue of the ORIOLE, one of the most important events of the past season to be recorded in it, is International Night, celebrated at South on 'October 20, l933. On that night, people representing all of the twenty-eight nationalities that go to make up South's student body visited the various classrooms, in which were displayed exhibits from many of the homelands. What memories of bygone days must have floated through the minds of the visitors, as they examined exhibits from their own homeland and saw gorgeous costumes, like they themselves once had worn. They then passed from the room in which exhibits from' their native coun- tries were shown -and viewed the prod-- ucts of other lands with equal interest and enjoyment. And what a varied picture they made l-carved ivory, amber, embroid- ered shawls, smocks, crocheted lace, quilts, household linens and utensils, fine china, jeweled vestments, fine wood carvings, handwoven articles. Turning from this display, one might find other enjoyment in the various performances that were given from time to time during the evening. The French and Spanish classes each pre- sented a program consisting of songs, dances and short skits. A minstrel show given by the colored children of the school won acclaim by its almost pro- fessional performance. Band and or- chestra concerts, selections by the choral groups, a historical pageant pre- sented by the Philo and Ayita Literary societies, and swimming and diving ex- hibitions in the pool followed in such close succession that it took careful forty-four budgeting of one's time to see all the sights. A novel feature of the entertain- ment was the Ukrainian wedding cele- bration. A narrator dressed in Ukrain- ian costume explained the proceedings in the three-day celebration as the bride, groom, attendants and friends, dressed in native costumes, followed the wedding customs that had been observed by their ancestors. A coffee shop and candyland offered refreshments to those who wished them. Each visitor left the school feeling more kindly toward the other twenty- seven nationalities represented. Unlimited praise is due the students and faculty members whose coopera- tion made this event possible.

Place-The living room of the Hallo- way home in a fashionable suburb of New York City. After the tones of Beneath the Holly had died away the assemblies of December 20th and Zlst, l933, had the pleasure of seeing the play A Sign Unto You presented by the Tenth Grade Dramatic Club. The play brought back forcibly the injunction- and a little child shall lead them. This child came as a hum- ble newsboy to the home of the Hallo- ways and helped Howard, the minis- terial-minded son of the proud family, to get across to them the idea of help- ing others. The humor element of the play was furnished by the sisters, Pat and janie. The play was admirably portrayed and brought to those who saw it a strong sense of Christmas spirit. forty-five CHEMISTRY Pres. ------ Aloysius Kuenzig V.-Pres., joseph Kreczkowski Sec'y ---------- jack Wetter Treas. ---- . .Samuel Hiltabidle O.

This year, for the first time in the history of the school, the South band appeared in uniform. The band played a conspicuous part in the success of our football and basketball teams this year. The uniforms were se- cured in time to add color to South's climb to the State Basketball Cham- pionship. The band also furnished the musical entertainment for several of the assembly programs. The South Side was not long in recognizing the ability of the band, for the South Side Post.of the American Legion extended an invi- tation to the South High band to lead their division in the Memorial Day pa- rade. The invitation was accepted and the band's first appearance on parade was highly impressive. The prospects of South's band are bright, and much can be expected of them in the future. ORCHESTRA The orchestra deserves credit for its dependability in furnishing musical en- tertainment of a high character at all times. There is seldom a program at South at which the orchestra does not offer its services. The orchestra is ever ready to furnish appropriate selections for assembly programs. They also offer their services at many evening affairs such as Parent-Teacher League meet- ings, plays, and any other programs held by the school. The orchestra plays an important part in the Commencement Exercises each year. South's orchestra has shown much improvement in the past year and Mr. Goehring is to be credited for raising the standard to its present level. , k 1' fy 1 Il., , ' CHEER LEADERS This group of boys, after much earn- est and untiring effort, presented the most smoothly functioning cheer lead- ers South has had for many a year. The unusual success of South's teams this year was, undoubtedly, due to a great extent to the work of these boys. When the battle was toughest, they were able to gain the support of the fans in cheer- ing our boys to victory. The boys responsible for the success of South's cheering are: Mike Sered- netski, Smith Dawson, Irvin Rodgers, Walter Spak, William Wynnyk, and George Krappweis. VARSITY LEADERS This club, sponsored by Coach Wash- abaugh, is for those boys who are inter- ested in athletics and who wish to try out for some team. lt enables the coach to get the boys together every other forty-six week and to instruct them in the chief sports of the school. lt cultivates a wider interest in athletics, and the in- structions received there are invaluable on the football field and on the basket- ball floor. STAGE CREW The stage crew is one group which performs a noble and untiring service with little recognition. Without the services of these boys, the plays and programs presented at South could not be staged. These boys spend many hours of their time after school and in the evenings in preparing scenery, lighting equipment, and stage settings in order that the various programs may be pre- sented in proper fashion. The school extends its utmost appreciation to the boys of the Stage Crew who have been faithful in their duties, especially to those three boys, john Wolfe, Charles Lockmiller, and joseph Dailey,-who have been the nucleus of this group for the past few years and whose services will be lost by graduation. forty-seven DEBUTANT at Lv 'C SSP x It 1 V- Xl .

PRosPEc'rs Fon NEXT YEAR When Coach Washabaugh called for spring practice recently, more than lOO boys answered the plea. lf the same number keep on through all the prac- tice period, Coach can develop as fine a squad as he had last year. All the boys who can quality for the team should go out for it. We want to keep the name of South High in the sports spotlight forever. Boys with experience are still left on the squad-not all of the regulars have gone. They will help all newcomers and take the places of Spotty, Grad, Slip, Gully and other last season's stars. Some of those who are on the squad from last year are Pusateri, Witalis, Mam- ula, Cronesky, and Stanich. l n FOOTBALL SCORES i South Opponent l9 .... .- ---- Trinity 7 l9 ..... ....

Perhaps the above statement is a strong one considering the fine teams South had in 1901, 1910, 1916-17-18-19 and during the season before last when South took the city championship only to be defeated by Altoona High at State College in the most heartbreaking game ever seen by South's followers. In the last season the South squad swept through all opposition except that of New Castle, to whom it lost a non-league game, 27-16. The main spring of the Orioles was no doubt its great center, Edward Spot- ovich. Spotty, as he was affectionately called by his team mates, was in the center of every attack upon an opponent's banking board. He gave moral as well as physical aid to his team mates, often giving a friendly back slap here and a kind word there during a hard game. The real mystery man of the team was Eddie Slip Czlapinski. Edward's unsurpassed work as guard will give him eternal fame in the minds of the fans who followed his brilliant career at South. Always unselfish and often sacrific- ing scoring chances to feed his team mates, Slip will bear watching in his future work. Little joe Galiszewski is another boy who will be seen in the future. joe was the boy who came through in such a fine fashion to help defeat New Kensington High by his well placed field goals. Although one of the smallest boys on the squad, loe's dribbling through opposition wasa wonder to behold. A newcomer to the first team was Eddie Bebbers lvlilkovich, a boy who slipped up from the substitutes' bench to be a star forward on the state cham- pion team. Many fans were doubtful whether a player could be found to fill the shoes of Bill lesko, star forward of the 1932-33 city champs, but Bebbers made a fine record in an effort to fill those shoes. His southpaw dribbling made history for the Oriole basketeers. Last but not least, on our state championship team we find Charles Miske- vics, Slip's running mate at guard. Chipper, as he was called by his friends, was a quiet, but efficient, member of the squad. As a feeder he was excelled by none, often sacrificing scoring chances to boost his team mate's scores. Chip- per was not sensational in his playing nor was he conspicuous by his errors. Along with all these famous players were the scrubs or substitutes. They were the boys who helped to develop our state champs, the ones who came to their rescue when they were hurt or tired, the players who were often sent in to show their superiority over some highly touted teams. To them goes the credit for long hours of training, which is not an easy thing to do when temptation lies all about. ln every game, work or play, there is always some one who renders invalua- ble help to the players of the team. The boy who did this was john Tracz, the manager of the team. His assistant, Walter Cielan, took care of the score book. Both are to be given credit for their fine work. The main factor of any team is the coach. The man who built our team was Coach Grover C. Washabaugh. He was the one who sacrificed his own time in order to develop our boys, the man who spent long hours watching and forming our heroes. He deserves every bit of credit he gets and may he develop many championship teams as good as the last. During the last season South won three plaques and one trophy. The trophy was awarded by the Fintex Corporation in recognition of South's winning the city championship. At the same ceremony, julius Levine, Sun-Tele sports scribe, named Spotovich and Milkovich on his all-city basketball team, and praised Edward Czlapinski for his fine work at guard position. The first plaque was won in a preliminary game, South defeating Huntington at Altoona for the trophy. The Orioles also defeated New Kensington in the final western regional game, thereby adding another plaque to their collection. The state champion- ship battle with Reading was a hard one but South same through in characteris- tic form to win the fray and also the state championship plaque. fifty-two BASKETBALL SCORES South 29 Mt.

Yes, we have exceeded the law ot averages and we hope to do it again. That is also a strong statement but we have a strong school and coach. All that we need is a strong squacl, one that will furnish good material for another championship team for South. Pessimistic people say that it will be many years before we have another titular team but it we buckle clown to the task we can keep our state title against all aspirants. fifty-three SENIOR SWIMMING The Senior Swimming team made a poor showing in the last season when we compare the records that South's teams piled up in preceding years. Their first meet was a joint affair, with the Orioles, Westinghouse, and South Hills participating. Westinghouse took the lead early in the meet and held it to vanquish South by lO points. However South did beat South Hills. The next meet was with Carrick. The Carrickites also vanquished South by a IO-y point margin, the score being 39-29. The next was an impromptu meet with the Pitt Freshies at Keystone Athletic Club pool. The Freshies beat our waterdogs by I5 points. The most important meet of the season was the Pitt lnterscholastic Cham- pionship affair at Pitt's pool. William Manko got fourth place in the 220-yard free-style and a medley relay team composed of Bill Manko, George Pagan, and Andy Manko came in fourth in the Medley event. The breast stroke team of South qualified to take part in a relay event at Tech Pool and took fourth place in that event also. The team made a good showing in all the qualifying heats, but seemed to break down in the meets. Nick Litwin Ed.

Vifasylik lohn Nychy Walter Hunchak S fifty-four iffy-five BASEBALL The baseball team this season did not look very impressive in their practice games and openers but it is hoped they will pick up experience as they go along on their schedule. Surely we cannot expect a city champ in this, our second year, in the city league. The South Side is distinctly not a baseball section, as it has few fields large enough on which to play the game. The team was composed of Rohaus, catcher, lvlamula, pitcher, Mackey, first base, Slipinski, second bagg Maynos, third, Barry, short-stop, and Popo- vich, Przywara, and Lambert, outfielders. Semich, Merkel, Sucky, and Geraci stood by to relieve in cases of necessity. The first two games the Orioles played were lost to Langley, 8-3, and 5-O. Then in the league opener South was overthrown by Peabody, 8-6. After that the Orioles played Oliver a practice game which resulted in a 7-3 defeat for South. South was also beaten by a determined Schenley squad, 8-7. SCORES South Opponent 3 .... ......... - -- Langley 8 O .... -,- Langley 5 6 .... --- Peabody 8 3 .... ....

The team had tie games with Washington Trade and Somers and won from Herron Hill and Connelley Trade. Spak and Sharkins were outstand- ing players, but they had ample support from the other team members. The success of the team may partially be attributed to its fine coach, Mr. Cue. SOCCER South had al good soccer team last season considering the poor practice ground. Starring for the Orioles were Sharkins, Spak, and Masilon, three fast boys who displayed great footwork in all the games played. Coach Cue hopes to have as fine a squad next season as he had the last. SCORES South l ..... .......... ..........

For seven years the senior girls had won the City Champion- ship, their nearest contender being Peabody but this year that big, bad wolf managed to defeat South by the narrow margin of ZVZ points. Not so, however, with the junior girls. They picked their goal and then-made it. The trial senior meet was held at Perry High Pool on Oct. l9, l933. South girls competed against teams from Perry, Oliver, Langley, and Allegheny. They won first place in every event, thus capturing the first meet. The junior meet was held on Oct. 9 at South High Pool and our mermaids gained first place in: eleven out of twelve races. Oliver, Perry and Latimer were the contenders. This victory qualified the girls for the final championship meet which was held at Fifth Avenue on October 26 and October l9.

Some joke, eh, boss? A plane lands on the ship, and Carl jansen and Charles Karl, the pilots, leave their passengers, Babe Wis- niewski and Robert Rudolph. Babe, away from terra cotta-I mean terra firma, gets seasick lor lovesick, is it maybe, yea, no?l Robert Rudolph gets out a box of his latest discovery in science, and in me haste to see it, I knocks off the top box behind which I'm hiding, and saints pre- serve usl If it's not like jumping from the frying pan into a combination of gas and matches, I don't know what it is. In two shakes of a cocktail shaker l'm out of me hiding place, and out into the hall. l'm thinking if I can get away in time and what they'II do if they catch me, when I falls over a chair and bumps me shin.l All I can think to say then is a popular sauce made from apples. But I wakes up to find meself on the floor of me home, and I thanks me lucky stars for ending the dream then- lbut I would like to know what was in the box.I sixty-two - Feb fx Feb Feb Feb CLASS CALENDAR -Now we're Senior A's-grand, dignified Senior A's.

They need something to relieve them from the monotony of teaching. Sit idle when a test is given. After all, if the teacher doesn't know the an- swers, how are you supposed to know? Chew and crack gum in school. lt will help so much in keeping the mouth supple. Race out of the door as soon as the bell rings. Don't let the other fellow think that he's the fastest one in the room. Whenever there's a good show in town, play hookey. ln addition to getting out of school work, think of the things about the play that you can tell the kids. Sign your report cards yourself. Your mother and dad are not so young as they used to be, so save their energy in this manner. Pike in the lunch line. Teachers can do it, and they're human beings, just like you. Don't do nightwork. Remember, All work and no play makes lack a dull boy. luke periods, and get called into the office. That's just an excuse to get even with you for showing them up. :QW 'NW WTM:eeET?L'2, W - X Q1 WN WQNT3w.1 fM2fTf NT' WYWTw51Td3v1f1 lfl?E V' AHSWQN -f N' ,mmw -' li 'W 'if' 0 . gf ' - raw 1 wwf1fu1wbWwif N 'if MW' 416295 f .-N.
