But we shall humbly try to thank you and show you how deep our appreciation really is. We have been guided and directed by Doctor Win' ner in a way that was clear and true, and we wish to express our sincere gratitude to him. Also, we extend to Miss Wenzell our deepest appreciation for her un' tiring services and her generosity in her capacity as our guardian. All of the teachers have been our worthy friends and advisors, and though they seemed, at times, a bit tyrannical we, at the time of our departure from them, realize their value and offer them our neverffailing ref spect and gratitude. 'We wish to include, also, those men and women who have striven untiringly in the educational field to obtain for us the advantages and facilities of modern equip' ment which we have enjoyed during our stay here. From the clubs and social affairs we have received not only pleasant memories to carry away, but material advantages as well. We have learned to mingle with people, to be tolerant, and undertake projects and see them through. This training will be of untold value to us in the business world. We can not suppress a feeling of regret as we realize that we must leave the friends that we have made dur' ing our school days. The intimacy of our classroom ref lations can never be retained after we have left these portals. We hope that many of these friendships will outlive our school days. Thus, with a feeling of gratitude and a sense of deep regret we say, Adios to our Alma Mater-South Hills High School. Our Remzkzzlfrencef Two wild years of ignorance, rebuke, and enormous, if somewhat peculiar, widening of experiences and talents of some two hundred freshmen, ended for us when in September, 1929, the June class of 1931 or' ganized in the school auditorium. No one would have thought then, as they gazed on that assembled group of excited, rather innocentfeyed Junior B's, that the great talent, now sofmuch in evif dence, was even then in the minds and hearts of those students. Who would have supposed that Walter Craig, hero incomparable, could portray Hamlet with such intense dramatic fervor, or, that Elmer Johnson would someday dash wildly about the physics room with his face covered with iron filings, or that Bob Augustino would become an AllfScholastic end, Sarah Livingston never grow an inch taller, or that Eva Littf man would become the perpetual task Miss Potterj ten o'clock scholar Well, no one could have dreamed these things, I know, but all too truly have they happened since that class meeting. But even then, way back in 1929, we had a little of that quality which Mr. Ross emphasizes, oh! so strongly, in his shorthand classes,- horse sense . We elected Miss Wenzell to the somewhat doubtful pleasure of seeing us through the remaining hectic years of our stay at South Hills. We decided, too, that per' haps Fritz Beinhauer would make a fine steadying influf ence at the wheel of the class. So we elect-ed him President. It is quite a nice feeling to have a President and a Guardian, and to have class meetings. I think class meetings are the wildest things in a Class's career, espef cially when Charles Shore arises to make devastating remarks about the inefficiency of everyone in general and his Refreshment Committee for the Picnic, in par' ticular. But we really did accomplish other things that we're making use of now. Early in 1929 we chose as our class flower the tea' rose, our colors, blue and gold, and a motto which we feel we have lived up to- Create, Don't lmitatef' All this we did in our junior B semester, and as we be' came junior A's we gradually became more closely united. In june, 1930 we had our first big class event. Cur Class Picnic as juniors was held at Eichleay's. Who can ever forget Charles Shorels immortal words to the rest of the Refreshment Committee, a few days prior to the picnic, that he had been appointed chair' man to lend respectability to the Committee, and his flat refusal to buy the weiners, as a thing quite beneath him. However, he did bring the onions when the rest of the Committee absolutely refused to think of it. Anyhow, the whole picnic was a great success. The class attendance was almost unanimous. We played .. W' if if I ,J ry. .. 5.5,-ix, f . :V Q .w.,..,Q 3,..,,,lk15i,,,? g , , 'n 1-My girfif' g,gi.li'g:i,f, ,,g,.

The big swing attracted many, and a few played tennis. The most disheartening thing about the picnic though was the raid by the Senior A's who carried off most of the ice cream. However, we man' aged to exist without it, and the class spent the evening dancing. About ten o'clock the remaining few went the way they knew best-home. We didn't forget our first picnic easily, but we soon had other things to think of. In 1930 we reorganized our class, and of course, we refelected Fritz Beinhauer. Immediately after our ref organization things began to happen. In December of our Senior B year we had a dance, and in January we held the first Senior Prom ever to be held outside of school in South Hills' history. We were proud of this achievement, for which Walt Craig, our Social Chair' man, was mainly responsible. Our Senior B year ended with a bang and we found ourselves at the top of the high school ladder. We were Senior A's. At first we couldn't realize that we. were busy Senior A's and quite old, but we soon became ac' customed to it. Cur activities came fast and furiously. Pictures were taken and they certainly created a sensaf tion. We surely have two hundred handsome boys and pretty girls in our class. The novelty soon wore orl: and we were deeply immersed in vocational themes, dramatic presentations, class play enthusiasm, Senior day and Commencement plans and debates. All these things took a great deal of time and energy and aiforded a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment to us. The Class Play, Rollo's Wild Oat with Walter Craig and Margaret Doescher in the leading roles was a great success. The fine supporting cast and Class Play Staff worked long and hard to make it so, and earned the thanks of the whole class. After the Class Play, the succeeding weeks promise to be interesting, too. Our Senior Day, on June 10, with Agnes Calabrese as Chairman, should be another important event. The program is being worked out in a very original manner, and should leave to S. H. H. S. something by which to remember us. Closely after Senior Day, come many other important days for us. On june 12 is the Senior Class Picnic, to be held again at Eichleay's. On june 15 is Senior Recognif tion Day, and on june 19 is the Prom, given to us by the February Class of '32. After the senior vacation. comes the greatest day in our lives in high school. june 23 is scheduled for our Commencement exerf cises. On that night we'll say goodfbye to South Hills, where we've had such good times, where the faculty has been so kind and helpful to us, and where we leave the friends and events very dear to us-things we knov' we'1l never forget.

Signing Off HOPE YOU LIKED IT -by your Announcer-jack Dillon. PMI II V Ann Arbor, Maine, june 24, 1941. Dear Ruth: How does it feel to be a fullffledged surgeon? Dr. Neeld! Sounds great, doesn't it? I hear Jeanne Aiken the basketfball coach, was your first case. I hope you took good care of her, she's one of our old class mates, you know, Bertha Petshot is practicing medicine, too. She recently treated Robert Evans, the wellfknown acf countant who was injured when his airplane, piloted by Harry Glaze, collided with the tower of the Moorhead Law and Finance Building. As a matter of fact, Fritz Beinhauer, the local undertaker was confident that Mr. Evans would be his next victim, but Devona McClelf land, a private nurse was first on the scene and kept the spark of life glowing till Dr. Petshot arrived. The funny part is, Ruth Moorhead who owns the Moor' head Building has retained a noted lawyer, Charles Rising and intends to sue Evans for damages to her building which has just recently been completed by that eminent architect, Jerry Milono. Glenn Momeyer, however, has offered to plead Evans' case which will come up in court before Judge Albert Drewes sometime this month. Ivlarie Mooney, a reporter on the Maine News promises' to keep me informed on the case, so I'l1 write and give you the details. We had the honor of having our city chosen as the Seat of the School Teachers' Guild this year. Peg Nichols, Barbara Green and Dorothy Morrow who were attending the convention, 'dropped in to see me, and, my dear, I wasn't expecting them and I hadn't an edible thing in the house! I sent little Thelma, my oldest girl, down to Elmer Johnsons farm for some milk and eggs. Well, she was gone so long, I finally had to go after her. I told the girls to turn on the radio and listen to the concert being given by Helen Jane Douthitt and Rose Marie Grentzer while I went after Thelma. Well, my dear, of all the excitement at Johnson's farmfno wonder the poor child was def layed. There was Herbert Schlarp, who owns the farm adjoining Johnsons, and Robert Karn, who is in part' nership with Schlarp, fighting like blazes with johnson. Even Jack Connors, the sheriff, was there. It seems they were fighting about boundaries but when I told W'-'fre'f':ww them about Peg and Dorothy and Barbara being at my house they decided to bury the hatchet for the day and come over . We had a lovely time reminiscing and laughing over our school days. I really think John' son forgot his troubles. Hes having financQal diifif culties, you know. Albert Maskrey, our town banker, is arranging to lend him some money on the farm and I do hope everything turns out all right. Vsfell, Ruth-pardonfDr. Neeld, before closing I should like to ask a favor of you. Next time you're at the Central Library will you ask Mary Jane Reed, the head librarian, to send The Lost Cause , a volume of poems by Malcolm Falk and The Food We Eat by Virginia Pietsch, the dietician, to our local library? As ever, Thelma Short. Part III A languid American correspondent, lounging on the docks of Cairo, Egypt, straightened suddenly and arose as the liner, Excambion, steamed slowly into harbor. On the deck was a group that seemed, to his experif enced eye, excellent copy for his column, Innocents AfNileing . When the passengers finally disem' barked, the newspaperman discovered the identity of the party. Dr. Charles Shore, the wellfknown psychif atrist from the United States, was taking a number of his former high-school classmates on a trip to the Orient, in order to observe their various reactions to such a radical change in environment. L'Ah, ha! thought the columnist, here's my chance to get material for my 'Innocents'. And, straightway, he betook himself to the group and began questioning them. With true Yankee love of seeing their names in print, in spite of their high positions, they responded nobly to his inquiries. For his first victim, he selected a portly individual, who had the appearance of a prosperous general pracf titioner. With him was a young woman who seemed rather interested in his welfare. The newsfgatherer strolled up casually, and with an ingratiating smile, hesitatingly asked: Are you Dr. and Mrs.-lf' No, I am afraid you have me confused with some' one else. I am Merril Kunkel, president of the Curf tissfWright Airplane Co. This is my secretary, Miss Nancy Miller. I am representing the Hearst newspapers. I would appreciate it very much if you would introduce me to some of your fellowfpassengersf' At this news, Mr. Kunkel became very cordial, and took the scribe around, introducing him to the people of prominence. This is William Greenlee, the pilot who was the hero in the recent airplane liner accident. This is Miss Marriett Fischer. She was secretary to the President last term and is now on her vacation. 7 , ' L, .. . U w N A ,.,,, .. 1 , , +4 .s,.:'-mi E...i,,,,g., w- ,I . , . . 4' x it- t f v 'Arif' ' .f ri? fa. .1 fill ' His?

Ch, haven't you heard of him? That is King Cup' ples, the poetflaureate of the United States. There seems to be but one more person to the party. Who is that man standing over there, surrounded by the secretaries and stenographers? That is joseph Miller, who takes care of the mail of the party, and incidentally, is the most popular man aboard! Suddenly a man appeared, shooing all these irnporf tant people toward the hotel. Mr. Kunkel gave a gasp and started to run in the direction of the hotel as he was bidden. The newspaperman gave pursuit, and asked what the trouble was. That is Dr. Winner, our former principal, and out of force of habit we still obey him. These next are Congressmen, Representative Sarah Livingston, Senator Robert Ellison, and Senator Harry Younghansf' At such names, the newspaperman could only gaze in awe, when his guide reached the little group of peof ple standing by themselves, and introduced him to them, he could hardly believe his eyes. The inventor, William Davis, Warren Waslosky, who designed the Superfzeppelin Hangar, joseph Seyf ler, the defendant lawyer in the spectacular case bef tween Dr. Claude McKee, and Dr. Ruth Goodpastor, Lorenzo Speck, the famous leader of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, George Colella, whose Spanish cartoon caused such a fuss between South America and the United States, Dr. Charles Shore, the psychiatrist, who is conducting this tour, Miss Elsie Miller, Walter Snee, and Miss Wilma Knowlson, vice presidents of the National Broadcasting Co. The man surrounded by baggage is Howard Husf band, who is to replace Leo Henry, as ambassador of the United States to Egypt. And who are those people over there by them' selves? asked the newspaperman. Those are the secretaries and stenographers con' nected with the party. There are the Misses Frances Chambers, Dorothy Winter, Betty Dyer, Alice Tick' ner, Ethel Dewald, Marjorie Tuller and Ethel Placekf' . Part IV IN 1956 Life is a jumble, life is a mixfup! Life turns out to be everything that you have planned it wouldn't be and everything that you have planned to be you aren't. The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley, as Burns says. Take for instance, the graduating class of South Hills High School in '31. Those people had very set ideas about what they wanted to do and what they were going to become but in stepped Life and bang went all the myriadfcolored bubbles of their dreams! Said some inspired youths, Doctors we'll be, We'll wlork quite hard for a nice fat fee. But patients came and patients went And the doctors got not a single cent. And thus the first dream of Ruby Bobbs, Bill Gowdy and Jas. Regan vanished! Of course, there were nurses to help the doctors: Several healthy maids desired to be nurses, To cure mankind of the ills he curses. But the profession was not what it was said to be For half the patients died you see. Alas for Pauline Holland, Helen Foote and Alice McCaig! Said Ethel Parker and Lorene Barker: We plan to be first rate stenogs Capable of filling all jobs The day came and much to their grief They could neither type nor spell, to be brief. The future builders of Empire were to be Ted Rigg and Bernard Briggs. When we asked these architects direct, What type of building they would erect They said, We'll build them big or not at all. They built them big! We watched them fall! Although this was hard on them it was distinctly harder on the poor pedestrians below! With about the same disregard for the' law of gravity Jack Hill, and Ralph Meyers planned their careers. These daring youths were highfminded, indeed Said they, In the air we'll take the lead. They started out with much vigor and dash But unfortunately came down with a crash. There was a sweet helpful group headed by Helen Wood, Peggy Doescher and Elaine Fouse who said: For us, the appeal of Charity is strong, We'll live on little to help' others along. They lived on little, as they said, it is true But they did not accomplish what they had in view. There are always wouldfbe engineers in every class and ours was no exception. There were Carl Flecker, Kenneth Vaux and Glenn White to aspire to this estate. These engineers said, The rest have gone wrong But we will show you before very long That we aren't the type to make mistakes, But they found that their roads went through lakesl... It would seem that they had some doubt whether the human race was really human or just common ordinary fish. Thus ended our tale, you can easily see how disf appointing and uncertain life is. To take the necessary precautions not to be thus pummeled around by life, I would suggest that you take no heed of the vocations and their worries until you have had a chance to view the world and the mistakes others have made. 'kln case this article should convince teachers that it is futile to have pupils write vocational themes, I would like the monument erected to me by the students to be placed in Carnegie Museum as a constant reminder of the good I have done for the younger generation. Pam' V The drowsy hum of planes sounded over Be:mer's Field on a May afternoon in 1954. A silver streak appeared in the distance, and as it drew nearer a gigan- tic J-31 could be seen on the side of the palatial ship of the air. Immediately a small transfer ship took off with the harassed Doctor James MacDonald. A sky anchor was dropped from the floor of the dirigible and seizing the hook of the smaller ship it hoisted the plane through the trap-door. Three porters rushed out, took the gentleman's luggage and showed him to the lounge. There he met his colleague, Dr. James Di Renna. The conversation naturally turned to the personnel of the ship and it was learned that the co-pilots of the ship were Jack Hill and Albert Kuhar and that the fate of the airship rested in the hands of Ervin Stone and jack Barth, radio electricians. The party strolled out on deck to inspect the dirigible, as Martha McNeilly, a missionary from the Far East bound to South America to teach the little heathens, arrived. Amidst an animated discussion they proceeded to the dining- room. In a far corner of the georgeous Poole-Room two bewhiskered cronies, Andrew Carlin and Paul Chsler, eminent chemists, were hotly contesting the relative merits of a certain equation. Two complacent printers, joseph Edgar and Edwin Deckenbaugh, with their wives were enjoying the vegetables from the johnson Produce Co., while listening to the soothing strains of the dinner music of Ben Rudt's Orchestra, featuring Harold Schmalz and Louis Luckhart. In spite of the attractions of the dining-room there was a certain group on board to whom dinner meant nothing. In the seclusion of the impressive library the plan- ners of the model city of Craigs Rigg conferred. This group of enterprising pioneers consisted of architects lugg and Milono, engineers Cooney and Metz, and the draftsmen Measmer and Newill. Such an import- ant body as this could not escape being interviewed. 'l helma Short, headline-hunter for the Morning Riif-liaff, came zooming out of the sky. While they were in the library, Rhoda King and William Stewart, teacher and coach, respectively at Benintend High, rushed in crying, We have been relieved of our valu- ables. The demon detective, jack Augustus Pierre Harbison, was immediately called in to grill them. Dorothy Schoenfelder, Harriet Verner, and Betty Schrack, worn out by the strain of teaching, had hys- terics and were consigned to the tender mercies of the nursing squad headed by Helen johnson and Betty Roby. After this excitement, the passengers, feeling that they must have relief from the tense atmosphere, adjourned to the foredeck. Here, Virginia Clark staged a thrilling battle with the Brazilian tennis champion, then exhausted by her efforts led a general retreat to the swimming pool. Floating about in the lilac-scented water the travelers admired the walls, lavishly decorated by the famous Dosch murals. Refreshed by the plunge and anticip- ating an enjoyable evening of dancing, they retired to their staterooms to don evening attire. The ball was graced by the presence of the charming secretaries of the aforementioned lawyers, Mildred Sutter, Grace Rahe, and Ruth Waslosky, and the social-worker, Alberta Hurd. The merriment was at its height when a storm struck the ship. The passen- gers became indisposed and were compelled to seek the privacy of their staterooms. Morning dawned bright and clear and while enjoy- ing a delicious breakfast, the passengers were startled by the shout, The engines are adrift, man the para- chutes! Luckily, the consul, Evelyn Truxell, had cleared the landing field at Rio Janiero, and as a hun- dred or more belated ladies and gentlemen flattened out on it, they exclaimed in unison, Well, we're here because we're here!

The inf itiates are: Elma Ambler, Ralph App'l, Wnoni Artzberger, Lawrence Bartlett, Virgnia Clarke, Carl Fischer, John Fromhertz, Vera Georgius, Mary Matt is, Alberta McClure, Dorothy Roberts, Roy Sillnan, Betty Watsoii. These new members were chosen for their outstanding work and their Character, Service, Scholarship and Leader' ship, the four ideals of the Society. The officers of the Honor Society for th: past semester were: Rus' sel Hutchison, President: Agnes Calabrese. Vicef President: Ruth Moinrf head, Secretary. The sponsor is Mr. Glaser. Girl R6.f6VU6J' The biggest event on the Girl Reservess calenf dar this semester was the mothers' and daughters, tea. lt was a highly sue' cessful affair and accomf V V-f-V plished its purpose by bringing the mothers and daugh- ters together. A very impressive recognition ceremony was held during the semester to initiate all new members into the club. The Girl Reserves did their part in the CleanfUp Campaign. Other clubs were also active in the work of cleaning, painting and planing up the campus: consequently, there wasn't mu :li left that a group of girls could do. However, they appropriated a sum of money which was used to buy trees. The candy sale, a task that the Grl RTSIIVGS underf take every semester at the Class Play, was very profit' able. This added to the funds of the club a sum that has exceeded any other semester. The Stage Crew French Club Le Carole Fmncam' Miss White's French IV always looked forward to the days when the French Club held its meetings but those happy days never seemed to come often enough. What great times we had when they did come though' At Easter, not to be outdone, the French Club had its eggs-f-hardfboiled ones at that! A tremendous moment was at hand! A prize was given to the bestfdressed egg in the class. Cotton, yarn, crayons and glue, and especially one pair of scissors became the most importf ant articles in the lives of these people, at least, for the moment. One by one there appeared on the ledge cf the blackboard, Chinamen, colored men, and white men, babies and grownfups, white-haired, redfhaired and greenfhaired, jolly, chubbyffaced eggs. Miss Wakeneld acted as judge and her verdict awarded first prize to Daisy Clarke for her lovely little masked and wigged eggfdoll. This club was especially appealing and certainly had a remarkable effect in creating a lively interest and in promoting general good fellowship. Cur most instructive and entertaining program was the big event of the season. The class had just fin- ished the study of LE voYAGE DE MONSIEUR PEIuuoHoN and the class was divided into several casts to dramatize some scene from the play. This required a great deal of work but a really ine performance resulted. Los Castellrmos German Club L of Castellanos This club was organized under the sponsorship of Mr. lvlaffeo in 1929 and is one of the most popular organizations in the school at the present time.

Under the sponf sorship of Mr. Storer and Mr. Goodwin, the boys en' tered with a vim and enthusiasm which has been with- out parallel heretofore. Several good suppers were enjoyed at the Hill Top Y , all preceded by swim' ming and gym. The most noteworthy of these was the combined Father and Son banquet of the junior and Senior HifY's. At the school, the club was privf ileged to hear a short talk by Mr. Avison, a Y.M.C.A worker in Korea, Another speaker, who was enjoyed very much was Miss Withertdw of the Girl Reserves.

HE 1931 baseball team shows prom' ise of establishing the best record Y 'Re F9 f' . . , . ever attained in this sport 111 the history of our school. At the time of this writing the Tunnelites are ' lM'Lq:3l 1' tied with Oliver for the leadership of Section H and the prospects for gaining the chamf pionship look bright. This year marked the return of Coach Mazeski as baseball mentor and an unusually large number of canf didates responded to his call for diamond material. This turnout, combined with the remaining members of last year's squad, has provided a wealth of material to select from and at this stage of the race the team is showing its real makeup. Captain Firrell and Regan, veterans of two years previous experience, are mainstays in the infield and have furnished most of the team's hitting power. Murphy and Karn are also seasoned players and both have done their bit to keep South Hills in the running. Of the new men of this year's crop, Lantz and Metz, pitcher and catcher, respectively, have been outstandf ing. Lentz's twirling has kept South Hills in the race and he has won the last five games for the Blue and White. Metz's bat has proven to be a big factor in winning more than one game. The work of Rienhiemer and Muir, two other first year men, must not be overlooked. Rienhiemer, be' cause of his pitching in the early part of the season, and his steady performance at second base, deservesa lot of credit. Muir, a reserve outfielder, was one of the hardest working members of the squad. He suffered a broken ankle in a collision at first base in the second Voca' tional game and his services are lost to the Tunnelites for the rest of the season. Merena, Cagni, McGrath, Fagan, Mayer and Rea' gan have contributed their best for the team, and with Leatz, Muir, and Rienhiemer should develop into a for' midable outfit for next season. The school sincerely hopes that the baseball team will be victorious in the championship games and add another title to our increasing list. THE CITY CHAMPIGNSHIP SERIES Our team at South Hills won the Section II chain' pionship and by so doing met the Schenley team for the City championship. To date four games have been Boys' Track Team played, all at Forbes Field. The Hrst game resulted in a tie, 2f2, in tcn innings. Firrell and Lentz were the outstanding stars. fLentz struck out seventeen batters while Jimmy drove in two runs with a three baggerj The second game was won by South Hills 4f3, Firrell once more driving in the important runs. Schenley won the third game by a onefsided score, 7f1. Stratf ton, the Schenley pitcher, was in rare form. He struck out thirteen and limited South Hills to few hits. In the fourth game the teams battled on even foot' ing, The final score was 3f3 in ten innings. Regan was the batting hero with a fine threefbase hit. South Hills threw away the second and fourth games. Lentz and Stratton have pitched all the games in masterly style. The fifth and deciding game will be played at Forbes Field on Thursday, June 18, at 3:30 p. m. Here's hoping we win the flag! Boys' Valley Ball Team The Boyf' Tmcla Team The Track candidates, under Mr. Carson's capable tutelage, have worked hard this year to build a squad worthy of representing our school. The team has been handicapped because of a lack of material and a poor start but better results are expected in the coming meets. Augustine, Banks, Sillman, Davis, White, Panrock, and George are the Senior members of the squad and have given their utmost for the team. These veterans will be missed next spring when the new squad asf cembles. The entire outfit is looking forward to makf ing a creditable showing in the city meet and we wish them complete success. Vallfgf Bal! Volley ball is increasf ing in popularity among the boys of our school who are interested in athletics, and a large turnout answered Coach Carson's call for candid' ates this season. From among this num' ber Captain Augustino, Beemer, Rudt, Wrtvbleski, Shepherd, Dering, and Panrock were selected as members of the team. These boys have dis' played true school spirit in their participation in X this sport and have won varsity letters as a reward for their services. l Boys' Swimming Team The Boyr' Swimming Team This years swimming team has continued the excel' lent record of the previous season. The tankmen triumnhed in the city meet and won the championship, hringing a trophy to South Hills and ten medals for the victorious swimmers. Eight out of the ten league meets were won hy th: Tunnelites and then they captured th: city crown. Grant and Thumpston excelled in divingg Captain Schcener took first place in the medley swim, estahlishf ing a new city recordg and the relay team, Schoener, McKee, Miller, and Rienhiemer, came in for a third: Rising and Locke were also successful in placing in their respective events in the championship contest. Girly' and Bqyy' Tmnif Summer is here figmn and wth it cvmzs tznnis. There has heen an unusually largt turnout this year, and although the prospective winners ar: Elsie Sim' mons and Virginia Clark: in th: grls' d'v'sion and Crisman, Mzigziu, Laynt, and Gr:nn'n ltf the hoys' teams we may get a surprise hefor: the szason comes to a cliist. The teams were divided into two sestions and after all the matches have heen played, the w'nn:r of the first section will play the wfnn tr ef the seecnd section. The first round has heen played off in the boys' tournament, and the girls have completed two rounds. Girls' Tennis Gro up Leaders' Club The Lmderr' Club As the girls' gymnasium is used by the ninth grade classes during the sixth period, it is impossible for the Leaders' Club to hold their usual weekly meetings there and as a result the meetings for the present semester are held every second Tuesday in another room. Entertainments were supplied for the girls by members of the club and by other girls whose athletic activities are outstanding. Miss Lois Shepherd of the University of Pittsburgh, spoke on swimming. She demonstrated the various methods of lifefsaving. Later Miss Hermine Ruoff, likewise of the University of Pittsburgh, addressed the girls on University Life and What to Expect at College. These talks were greatly appreciated by her entire audience. Girls' Track Team The girls' track team won the City Championship for two years in succession and hopes to get it again this year. Special medals were given to the girls last year for their fine work. The team has not, as yet had any intrafscholastic meets. There was an excellent showing at the pracf tices and many new girls reported as well as the veterf ans. The annual intrafmural meet was held on our campus May 19. The feature of this meet was the 75' yard dash of the 11th and 12th grades. Eleanor Bruene, last year's champion' succeeded in placing first again against her rival, Betty Eichleay. Eleanor and Betty have almost always tied their scores. r Girls' Track 'Team V l Girls' Volley Ball Team Girls' Volleyball The girls' volley ball teams used the systems of the interfclass interscholastic meets, this year, which proved to be very successful. Each of the four teams competed against the same grade of a selected school. Two games were played by each grade. Perry High was too much for the Senior team and succeeded in winning both games. Some of the out' standing players on the Senior team were: Captain Elsie Simons, Marj. Tuller and Ruth Waslosky. The Junior team succeeded in topping Fifth Avenue twice. Carrick Sophomores and the South Hills Sophomores seemed to be more evenly matched for they broke even, each team winning one game. The Freshmen are in line with the Seniors for they also lost both their games to the strong Knoxville team. The girls on the Senior team who will graduate are: Ruth Waslosky, Marie Mooney, Eleanor Bruene, Marj Tuller. To the girls who will play next year-good luck and we hope you win the championship.

No, on sfcond : 'iq55l'? E thought, not punishable at allg the poor fellow who has missed the chalice of spsnding five delightful months of fun under our one and only Miss Price is more to be pitied than scorned. There are some folks, however, who seem to tlink that this course is full of play fnot a punj and no work. Let me tell you they're wrong. We worked in that classg there were dialoguesfat the bqginf ning of the semester, you, no doubt, saw some of our dramatically inclined Seniors look one another in the eye and beg'n, Well, well, l'm here, but then you couldnlt possibly have been around South Hills without hear' ing the rest of it, for our first problem was that of writing a plot for this conversation and present' ing it in class. Nlore fun! Then came readings of forty or more speeches, scenes from plays, long plays, short plays, medf ium sized plays, good ' plays, and bad plays, and, above all, those unwelcome play reports that had the most disagreeable habit of rolling around every two weeks and found you dash' ing off to the library only to find that the last copy of Everyman was out, reserved, lost, or what you will --sat any rate you had to report on something else. All this work led to something bigger, however, and soon two casts for an assembly play, Sauce For the Gcslfiigsf' were announced. This proved to be quite a successful production and was given in both asf sem l'es. The Junior Assembly cast consisted of: llargaret Tavl'Jr fthe niotherj Rose Marie Grentzer Richard Taylor fthe father, Robert Cairno Elizabeth ftheir daughterj Marion Duffy Class Play Staff l - Y J Bob fher brotherj Grandmother jimmy Warren The cast for Se Margaret Taylor Richard Taylor Elizabeth Bob Grandmother Jimmy Warren Harry Glaze Evelyn Truxell Merill Kunkle nior Assembly was: Yolanda Poli Walter Craig Agnes Calabrese Paul Chisler Vera Georgius Tom Weir Then came the grand event of the semester, the Class Play. And what a play it was! Depression or no depression, the tickets sold like hotfcakcs, and for that the whole class should be congratulated. Never has such a fine spirit of cooperation been shown throughout the school, Class Play staff, cast, stage crew, orchestra and art department all Worked tof gether with Miss Price to put the play, L'Rollo's Wild Oat, over with a bang, and they did. The story, written by Carl Kummer, concerns itself with a young man whose ambition it is to produce 'LHamlet in a modern way. He goes to the city, gets himself a very bad manager and promptly falls in love with a young lady whom he insists shall play Ophelia, for no reason at all. On the night of the play Rollo's grandfather, knowing that this production will make a laughing stock of the boy, sends a message to the theatre saying that he is dying. The always sympathetic and nonef tfoofintelligent Goldie stops the performance in the be' Art Club ginning by announcing, right on the stage, that Rollo's grandfather is dying. In the end we find that Hews' ton, the butler, played the name part after Rollo left, who thinking it better to forget Hamlet turns his attention to Goldie and airbrakes.

The players, numbering thirtyffive, are chosen from the other organizations and represent the very best talent available. The Concert Orchestra has full instruf mentation, every instrument of the symphony being represented. For stage performances, Orchestra A , a group that consists chiefly of strings, is combined with Orchestra CM and the two units become a full symphony orchestra, Were it not for the nature of its activities, Orchestra C would not be limited to theater size but as much of the playing is done in the orchestrafpit at thc assemblies, there is this limitation. lnvariably the orchestra is a contributor to the weekly assemblies which in a measure are the most important occasions at which it is present. One of its :objects is to play and conduct itself in the manner of a professional organization and, indeed, the orchestra has been congratulated on its success in its playing. The compositions that it plays are of a high order and because the original and not the commonplace is def sired, the selections presented are usually specially compiled numbers. Their renditions have enjoyeda great deal of popularity with the student body which is appreciative of anything along the order of the fine arts if accurately executed. 1 1 W I N w K- I J ,,.,- wr K , -m-s- Glee Club The South Hills' Glee Club The vocal section of the Music Department, under the guidance of Miss Diethorne has cinjoyed a very successful semester. Three commendable prcgrams were performed before the assemblies, each one differ' ent as to the music used and the procedure followed. Perhaps a better explanation of the organizations withf in the department would be of some interest. The Choral Club of former years was divided into the girls' and boys' Glee Clubs this semester, and from the standpoint of production, much has been accom' plished. The officers of the Boys' Clee Club are: President, Americo Marcellarog Vicefl'residcnt, Carl Fleckerg and SecretaryfTreasurer, Thomas Weirg while Helen Jane Douthitt, Lura Stover, Ruth Banks and Dorothy Baur are president, vicefpresident, secretary and treasurer respectively, of the Girls' Glee Club. The program of the season seemed to be a succession of pleasant surprises for the student body. The pro- duction was carried out in true broadcasting style, even to the importation of the popular Claude Morris from KDKA, who acted as guest announcer. The voice classes and the orchestra used this opportunity, fashioning their program after the Westiiighouse salute, to render the songs of the many peoples of the world. As a triumphant close to this first concert the music department was pleased to present Dick Liebert, organist of the Penn Theater. Mr. Liebert, with the assistance of jerry Carey, hrothcr of one of our own students, put on his own skit. Hfoys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past. The very quotation to describe the graceful and pleasing charm of the Criental Fantasy which was so well performed before the student body on May 20th. Lura Stover was at her best in this presentation and her solo, Chinese Lullaby, was ably sung. Amedeus Borelli, who can always be depended upon to give a good performance, played Cui's wellfknown Crientale. His characterization of an imprisoned coolie added to the pathetic beauty of this Occidental melody. The orchestra played Oriental Fantasy, a number of commendable charm and weird beauty, an' other success added to the performance of this organizf ation, Cn May 27th when the last of the Music programs was given, a combination of choral and orchestra num' bers and original compositions by students of the harf mony classes made up the program. To say that these students did well would be falling short of the praise and encouragement which they deserve. It is hard to believe that such advanced workmanship is a product of high school labor. Those who played their own compositions were, Rose Marie Crentzer who played Recollections , a number for violin, accompanied by Anna Toleg The Call of the Sea , by Virginia Carter was sung by Lura Sqover, and a piano composition, The Spinning Wheicl , also by Miss Carter, was played by the composer. Miss Stover also sang her composition, I Know It's june, accompanied by Louise Thomas, 'LMezurka Brilliantev, a violin solo, was played by Amedeus Borelli, with Betty Censamcr at the piano. The last choral number, Mendelssohns 'Behold God, the Lord , given by the Voice Classes, was a credit to the student effort. At the close of the prof gram, the orchestra presented a Special Memorial Day Selection, which was ver well received. Y The unique way of announcing was the result of Mr. Arthur's ingenuity. The Choral Clubs and Voice Classes have again proved an asset to the school. Their aims to promote an interest in part singing and to create an appreciation for good music have well justified themselves in the work completed during the past semester. Voice Classes, Glee Clubs and Harmony Class deserve the appreciation with which their programs have been ref ceived, The school can be justly proud of its music department. 4' 4, 'rw 1, at ,Ag ,ft I .
