You are to graduate in the twentieth year of the existence of South Hills High School. South HillsNHigh School began its career April 9, 1917: this date is only three days later than April B, 1917 when President Wilson declared war upon Germany in the great struggle which was known as the World War. The growth and development of your high school has been continuous during all that time. The pupil enrollment has increased more than ten-fold. During these twenty years more than six thousand boys and girls of the South Hills community have graduated from South Hills High School. It would be interesting today to know where they are located. I have to md graduates of our high school far distant irom Pittsburgh. Many of them are occupying positions of influence and responsibility in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. Many things have occurred in these twenty years. Perhaps one of the most out- standing developments has been the beginning and improvement of radio which has made our World much smaller than it would have been without it. lt is interesting to con- template that all through time these air waves had existed but it required special skill to handle them and make them serve our greatest needs. There are those who say in this modern day that there is no opportunity for Amer, ican youth. It is true. perhaps, in a geographical sense there are no frontiers to be explored, but in the fields of science. medicine. and invention. untold possibilities await those who are willing to pay the price. In medicine some one. some day, will find the cure for cancer. that dread disease that claims so many victims yearly. ln science and invention, we are only beginning to touch the surface in the great principle of air con- ditioning and the manufacture of complete but inexpensive homes. In the field of trans- portation much remains to be accomplished in the construction of highways that will reduce accidents. Who will hazard a guess as to what the next twenty years will bring in the matter of transportation by means of highways? ln government and economics there is a great need of trained minds that can see clearly and act wisely in those matters that affect the lives oi mankind. Surely this field ot human endeavor oiiers a challenge to our best thinking. It is interesting to note that already men of affairs have announced that the need ol trained workers with keen educational appreciation is greater than has been known for many years. May I urge you to continue your educational careers, believing that they who are willing to make the eiiort will find a place in American lite. On this, our anniversary occasion, I extend to you and to all the pupils of South Hills High School my best wishes. Yours very truly, H. E. VVINNER, Principal. June 9. 1937 iii i DR. H. E.

The boat ride on Iune second was a gala affair Well .... 1 SKIMMING THE WAVES The boat ride on Iune second was a gala affair at which we initiated the new boat, St, Paul . The unusually large crowd ot merrymakers made the an- niversary of the eleventh boat ride of South Hills a decided success. SWING AND SWAY All during the year the school dances provided plenty of opportunity for our Ginger Rogers and Fred of Don Mellows, To add variety and originality, quaint surprises in the form of square dances, punch, and volunteer crooners were on hand to amuse and enter- tain the guests. TEA TIMES The Go-To-College teas gave us a chance to show off our company manners. Two of the high spots were those in honor of St. Patrick's Day and the Clean-Up Campaign. The decorations both times were most appropriate for the occasion, shamrocks, green sand- wiches and candy plus scrub buckets, mops, and brooms which were served along with amusing con- versation. COUNTRY CAPERS Iune eleventh was the day, and South Park was the scene of the Senior picnic, but the wide variety of diversions that attracted the fun-seekers scattered them to different sections of the park. Swimming, bike riding, tennis, and ball games were favorite attrac- tions, and dancing was the main event of the evening. DOIN' THE BRIGHT LIGHTS Soft lights, sweet music, gay laughter, color, that was the Prom. It took place on Iune eighteenth at the Grotto, and, midst green and white, we danced to the floating melodies of Baron Elliot's Orchestra. The memory still remainsg the drifting couples, and the girls' pastel--shaded dresses, the flowers. You can imagine how different it was from the Prom that was KSignedJ IEAN INK. i' held twenty years ago when the girls' gym had to be used as the scene and all of the decorations were made by hand. ADIEU Caps and gowns, diplomas, and trembling excite- ment were in order on Iune twenty-second, Commence- ment. The program of the evening featured the twen- tieth anniversary of South Hills and all of the dances and numbers were put on by members of the gradu- ating class. V. They're all over now .... these senior--socials---- but how vivid their memories still are. Was there fun? Were our days filled? Well, could they be otherwise with such a social menu of every dish of amusement?

No class, perhaps, since our school was opened twenty years ago, :gas seen such unique changes in school life as has the class of Iune, 1937. To record the history of the class is to record the March of Time. Surely all of us can remember that day when we all filed into, the auditorium ror the first time to meet Dr. Winner. We were freshies but not in the true out how many of the class could dance. Evidently the results were not encouraging as the first social event turned out to be a well-attended roller skating party at the Market House rink. Our ll A activities drew to a close with the class picnic at South Park. The Social committee arranged transportation by street car to the parkg then the anticipated three mile hike was not necessary because a little thumbing by the girls got the boys a ride. Perhaps the most outstanding event of this year was the operetta, My Maryland. Presented to raise money for flood sufferers, this musical production was Sef1Se Of the word.

MAY 21, 1937 Number-T7 The George VI Flies for Coronation The world's largest dirigible, The George VI, flew over the horizon at three-thirty CD.S.T.J this afternoon. Its shining hull glided majestically eastward to England and the Cor- onation. Aboard were some of the most prominent people of America. The majority of them will tour Europe after the coronation of Queen Eliza- beth II. On the passenger list we noted such personalities as Mr. Iames Klein, Pitt's famous football coach, who was accompanied by his wife and son. Marietta Quici and Thelma Coleman were among the passen- gers. The famous stylist, Genie Rubenstein, with the two Hollywood designers, Thelma Heisey and Hel- en Elpern, were there also. We noted the presence of the famous coiffeur, Lillian Bender. The greatest diplomat of our time, Calvin Stark, with the Assistant Secretary of State, S. Bernard Mazer, were passengers, Since most of their policies differ: the flight may prove Very exciting. The ambassador to England, the right honorable lack Morrow, will meet these official representatives at the field in England. Mr. Iesse Mellor, noted maker of Austin airplanes, was also among the passengers. While at the Cor- onation he will endeavor to estab- lish one of his Austin plants in England. The steel manufacturer, George Kennedy, had business rea- sons for flying at this time. Candid-Camera shots of the Cor- onation will be taken by those crack photographers, Primo Inno- centi and William Loew. Don Krig- ger, announcer, will flash the news of the Coronation to all parts of the world. Assigned to the pleasure of paint- ing the new queen was the Amer- ican artist Harold Evans. His staff including Evelyn Fivars, Elsie .All- mendinger, and Norma Ballinger went with him. The famous dancer, Mary lunge, and her husband were among the passengers. A television overseas- broadcast of her performance for the Queen will be transmitted to America. Two more important passengers were the American singers, Eliza- beth Evert and Charles Cascadden, who are to sing on the same oc- casion as Miss Iunge's dance. Their accompanist will be Hazel Calrnus.

The largest number of famous chemists ever assembled will meet at the institute for discussion of current problems this entire week. Dr. Frank Iames Cardamone con- ducted the convention today. As- sisting him in demonstrating his economical method of dividing the atom were the well-known chem- ists Raymond McAdam, Thomas Wilson, Iames Schmid, and Haworth Archer. Scheduled for tomorrow's meeting is an important discussion by the honorable Dr. R. Clement, on Cancer and Its Cure. His colleague Dr. Milono will illustrate the famous dis- coverer's talk with television shorts of cases being cured. Dr. Piergeorge, head of the Insti- tute, announced that all lectures will be free to the public. Man Bites Dog Attempting the ancient statement that when a man bites a dog it's news, Iohn Glozbach, author of Twenty Years as an Elevator Boy. overtook a small dog in front of the Carnegie library and ferociously bit him behind the ear. When asked by police the reason for his be- havior, he replied, Oh, I just want- ed to see if he could take it. T4 Z5 ... Strikes Settled Successfully Through the efforts of Honorable Mayor Coburn the Hopkins Steel employees agreed to sign a trade contract today. Headed by the radical, Lazear, the Union would not hold an elec- tion. Manager Stimpson stood his ground, and it was only through the Mayor's influence that this strike was settled peaceably. Although violence was on the verge of breaking out in the picket lines, Superintendent Frey prevent- ed such an occurrence. His squad of motorcycle cops headed by Elmer Fiedler worked extremely efficiently during the entire strike. The strikers demanded a doubled pay check with decreased hours. Frank Thomas was also one of the leaders who stirred the plant to strike. Although they may not gain everything they would like to, Iames Murray stated that the workers would gradually gain their goal. Retiring Revenue Head Flays Press In Talk Before Insurance Parley Ioseph McGlinchey, with his con- federates Edward Renk and Frank King, appeared before the Insur- ance Federation of Pennsylvania convention which opened a two-day convention this morning. The retir- ing State Secretary of Revenue made a public appeal for greater safety on the highways in a swan song address here today. Mr. Mc- Glinchey said that he was glad to make his address in Pittsburgh as several newspapers here had been attacking him in recent months. He mentioned William Evans and Iames Kenny as editors he had considered unfair to him or his department in their judgment. Mr. McGlinchey is retiring at the early age of 38 due to popular demand. Actress Arrives With Retinue Ellen Helferty stepped from her train in the Pennsylvania station today with her troupe of players. With her were such notables as Helen Chambers, Thelma Coleman, Robert Cook, Rita Garrity, Charles Goelz, and Dorothy Kramer. As Miss Helferty stepped from her coach, she kissed her palms to an enthus- iastic public that was, unfortunately, in too much of a hurry on its way to lunch to notice her. Miss Helfer- ty, according to her, has been mis- cast in so many recent perform- ances that she is fearful of losing her box office appeal. , ...i.,....,- Q M.. ....... - ...g Vol 4 LJ J SESAME NEWS No. 7 SESAME NEWS l Published by the Alumni of South Hills High School Pittsburgh, Pa.

She was the guest of Misses Ro- berta Birnie, Dorothy Thompson, and Ruth Barclay on Wendesday eve- ning. The tea held in her honor at the Twentieth Century Club by Miss Margaret Burns was attended by the best society of Pittsburgh. Some of the guests were Misses Lois Zipg, Iune Laughlin, Agnes McLaughlin, Betty Kennedy, Margaret Ioyce, and Mary Leigh Woodworth. An end-of-the-season dance was given at the William Penn Hotel by Mr. Iack Wenger, Man-About-Town. His guest of honor was Frank Dietz, explorer. The event was marked by Bill Noble's fine music. The summer season is about to be opened. The first occasion of importance will be the wedding of Miss Lois Evans. Misses Mary Gould and Lois Kirchner will be bridesmaids. fContinued from preceding pagej Major Deakins of the Governor's stag made the odd statement as he departed that he was not gating after any woolies in England. joseph Hagaman, weather-man, stated that the flight will be un- hindered by weather for everything was clear ahead. Captain William McClarin pro- phesied a record-breaking trip be- cause of his able assistants: lobe Ienkins, engineer, Iohn Pizzaferri, radio operator, and Edmund Giel, pilot. All are experts, and it is the first time that such an able stag has been secured on one dirigible. Annual Athletic Banquet Held in Honor of Olympic Champions Last night the annual banquet for the American Association of Athletes was held in the Runjump- swimandtrack Hotel. All the notable athletes who had had taken part in the Olympics the year before were present. Thomas Ables, who captured the under- water swimming championship amazed dozens of chorus girls among which were stellar perform- ers like Dorothy Hosbach, Naomi Hirth, Margaret Craig, and Alice Geis, with a thrilling tale of how he rescued a submarine from a watery grave by towing it two miles with his teeth, while Ioy Barghaus- en led the cheers. Gayle Bassett, to wake up the crowd, put to sleep by Helen Barnes' operatic singing, performed a flying trapeze number on the chandelier while Phyllis Beile threw her library books to Bayle to balance on her nose. Bertha Bay had cornered Iohn Bergmann, Ro- berta Birnie, Velma Borrelli and Bernard Cox, all members of the city council, and was telling them excitedly the sport of catching four husbands at one time, just for fun. Shortly afterward the law, personi- fied by Robert Deakins, Norman Cupples, and Frank Dietz, took her into custody and she discovered her little escapade was the most serious fun she had ever had. Martella Bowra, completely de- moralized the table where Marjorie Duffy, the wolfess of Wall Street was attempting to give a lecture on thrift, incidentally, she neglected to tell her interested audience of Rose Fountain, authoress, Bernard Fowle, ladies- man about town, and Charles Fischer, matinee idol, where they were to get the money to save. Virginia Buskirk, holder of the world's singles tennis championship, was arguing with lames Carson, the world's greatest mathematician, that the angle of striketheracquet was not equal to the angle of go- fromtheracquet. David Diamond famous novelist, was telling Helen Elpern, dress designer, Betty Finley, illustrator, and Mary Gordon, ex- plorer, that they might easily be- come short story writers. According to him, it requires but a short time to write them, send them a short distance to a publisher, he retains them a short time, and shortly re- turns them. Kenneth Fogle com- bined fat and strong man in the Notsolittle circus, Was seen studi- ously reading a poem by Clare Guthoerl. He read it aloud to other fat men, namely: Robert Gruber, dog catcher, Henry Holloway, race track driver, and Raymond Hutson, professional loafer. He who reads this as his fate had better mind his weight, a little exercise now and .1.26....... then is beneficial to the fattest men. Sitting on a strawberry short- cake, while the chef, loseph Kiefer, tears his hair, is Raymond Kalberer, the absent-minded professor. He is telling Frank Klein, famous thes- pian, and Freda Kalinna, broadway monologist, of his inventions of the fearless onion, the non-skid banana skin, and a grapefruit which won't always be in the public eye. Phil- lip Leibson and Ruth Linnert, hold- ers of the world award for the most perfect married couple, are seated under a table explaining to a group of children that teachers always ask for an excuse for absence rather than a reason Hugh McFarland explains the fine points of riding to Charles McGill, operatic baritone, and lack Mahoney, holder of the world championship zipper race. Hugh has become a fine jockey but is unable to remain in the saddle all the time. Mary Meisenburg, a seemingly beautiful dressmaker, is standing off from the crowd and telling Dorothy Miller, who has become a deep sea diver and was the first to wade across the clear, swiftly-flowing Monongahela, what is wrong with the way the beau is tied in Hazel Prokop's apron strings. Henry Rus- sel, one of the three munchiteers, stands on a table and becomes dramati cover the elastic clause o fthe constitution. fEd. note. Said clause not connected with the Wrig- ley Corporationl Iack Miller, now a genial gentleman, is rushing from table to table asking everyone if they could possibly crawl through a window if an emergency should arise. Imagine his surprise when for a reply lack Morrow, diplomat, Helen Neale, concert pianist, and Marietta Quici, acrtess leap through the window into a bed of roses. Elsie Rall and Howard Reich do one of their famous dance numbers while joseph Rent, the king of croon- ers, is disappointed when Mary Sarraf, of the district attorney's of- fice beats him to the draw on the last piece of cake. lmitating the Gypsy Rose Lee of twenty years ago is Eileen Schaub, who much to the embarrassment of Robert Sheit- inger, scientist, insists upon dancing before him and his wife, the Mary Sigrist of the film colony. Irving Silver, still unchanged after twenty years, continues his imper- sonation of Rip Van Winkle. Eudora Smith, famous contortionist, is trying vainly to prove to Frank Stoy, plas- terer, that it is possible to stand on the table and touch the floor with your fingers without closing your eyes. Carl Stasko, fashion plate, is helping Margaret Stetler, beau- tician - clean-up, paint-up, or perhaps it is only paint-up. Cal- vin Stary, now that his correspon- dence course in prize fighting is successful, has passed the first test in orchestra directing. 16 2 5 11 RSARY HIGH .W I. ..g?. '11 mb' wav I rk 91 ln S.

This committee included Marion Fincher, Lois Kirchner, Norman Cupples, Lois Hutchinson, and Ruth Linnert. The staging committee with Agnes McLaugh- lin as chairman and including Harry Campbell, Helen Lucho, Karl Brown, Dorothy Hosbach, and janet Tiel, were responsible for the appearance of the stage. Evelyn Fivars, Dorothy Thompson, and Iulia Kinzer, three able promoters, were ready to aid any member of the cast at the first sign of distress. For the cooperation of the cast, the committees, the director, the stage crew, and the orchestra, the Senior Class wishes to express its thanks. BACK STAGE WITH THE CLASS PLAY Innocent and distraught members of the properties and staging committees endeavoring to figure out just how the opening scene of Good Morning should look. Not one of them knew how a room appears after a wild party. Tchl Tchl Tchl Mr. Cox during rehearsal, reaching nonchalantly into his pocket for the list of complaints against Mr. Wenger.

Q9 When South Hills High School opened its doors on April 9, l9l7, the faculty and office force consisted of fourteen full time workers and two part time, as fol- lows: Dr. Winner, Miss Griffith, Miss Schmitz, Miss Iacobi, Miss Stahl, Miss Taggart, Mr. Davies Know de- ceasedl, Mr. Watson, Mr. Darner, Mr. Stark, Mr. Zel- ler, Mr. Silver, Mr. Millin, Mr. Allen on a full time basis, Mr. Doyle and Mr. McLean part time. This group easily took care of the small student body con- sisting of two hundred fifty-five boys and girls. Of this number the above picture shows those who are members of the present faculty: Dr. Winner, Miss Griffith, Miss Iacobi, Miss Taggart, Mr. Silver, Mr. Watson, Mr. Allen. The curriculum was very limited, having only Wood Shop, Drawing, Music, Cooking and Sewing as the Vocational subjects. The follow- ing September the enrollment was much increased and the force shown at the bottom of the page was necessary to take care of classes, and handle the ad- ministrative and office work. The enlarging of the Vocational program came in for much thought and when a second part was added to the building our vocational work was put on the basis which it now occupies. But one can scarcely realize the changes which have taken place in twenty years. A picture of the staff as made up at present shows ninety-one on the payroll. This group during the year l936-l937 hand- led approximately twenty-seven hundred pupils - a small city under the roof of one building. The program of studies has been much enlarged. Wood, Machine, Electric and Drawing work is given, Art, Crafts, Instrumental and Vocal Music have a place, Cooking and Sewing offer opportunities. So every type and class of pupil has a place where he can improve himself and thus fit into society. Twenty years of the past have brought about great changes. What about the future? We are inclined to say no such changes will ever take place in the twenty years following this. This is possibly correct as far as numbers are concerned, but passing years bring changes in our thinking and in our industrial, and economic life. Changing occupations make edu- cational changes necessary. So another twenty years may bring about revolutional changes in the educa- tional program of these United States.

U2 ' w 34 i AR 'GH moore PARADISE FOUND I am the happiest on my monthly visits to Tony's barber shop. This joy springs not from love of the per- fumed odor of the vari-colored hair tonics lined in a row on a shelf, nor is it especial delight in sitting in a barber's chair and having my scalp Worked upon with scissors and electric clippers. It is not even pride in my improved appearance that is the reason why this very plain-looking shop fascinates me. No, these are commong they are peculiar to any barber shopg they seem flat and stale in comparison with the pleasure I get from harmonizing in the Barber Shop Trio or in conversing with the men in the shop, Pic- ture, if you can, these two Italian barbers, with their inherent love of music, taking time out from their work to gather around me in the barber's chair as we three harmonize on Victor Herbert's Italian Street Song or on the Isle of Capri. Not in any way limited, our repertoire embraces the whole field of music from the Sextette from Lucia to the Organ Grinders Swing. Or observe Tony, unskilled mu- sician at best, strumming a tune on his banjo. I can usually entice him into a hot argument on the political situation, while, with keen joy, I watch his expressive eyes sparkling on the threshold of victory or moody with the sad glow of defeat, or inquisitive as he fries to pin me down with a question of history or science whose answer I do not know, After the heat and fervor have died away, there comes a time for riddles, with their calm concentration. These serve as the preluude for jokes. As a comedian, Tony ranks with the best. The jokes he tells are presented with the same warm glow as if he had just written them him- self, instead of his merely repeating some which I had heard on Fred Allen's program the week before. Truly, jokes have a different flavor when told in the atmosphere of Tony's barber shop. During the four long weeks between haircuts, I long for this simple old place. My only hope is that my hair will grow taster, so that I may be able to visit Tony's much more often, for each visit there gives me further proof that I am getting double returns on my fifty cent investment. LEONARD SCHNEIDER. SOAP DREAMS Washing clothes is fun. Whenever I have a chance to make a choice between washing and ironing, I always choose the former. The very nature of iron- ing makes it a dull uninteresting occupation. There is no opportunity to move about for you must stand still in one posfition for long hours until your work is finished. The heat of the iron and the steam from the drying clothes is most uncomfortable, and in sum- mer it becomes almost unbearable. While ironing there is no chance for dreaming for you must pay such close attention to your work, but in washing this is not so. In the cool basement, with the slow steady drone of the washing machine filling the morn- ing air, and the tubs placed in an orderly row, there is plenty of opportunity to delve into the land of make- believe. The soap suds in the washer, as they swish and swirl, this way and that, with the motions of the machine, offer the most opportunity for speculations, I like to imagine that they are jewels, creamy-white 1' pearls, and here and there where the sun slants across the tub, I see a brilliant ruby or a flashing sapphire. As delicate as a butterfly's wings, these foamy soap suds of mine are as capable in their work as an intricate machinep as sparkling as a foun- tain spray, they are as dull, underneath, as a slow- moving river. Then there are the rinsing tubs with their clear, fresh water. There are mountain lakes formed by spring rains, and in spots where the clothes, their colors deepened by the water, show above the surface, lily-pads and rocks break up the smooth contour of the water. Dresses and socks lying in little heaps on the cellar floor add dashes of yellow, and brown, and delicate pink to the scene and increase my feeling of luxury and content. Then when it 'is time to hang out, a new kind of feeling pervades me. The clothes line, stretched taut and firm, suggests strength and endurance and after the towels and sheets have all been hung up and they are flapping gently back and forth in the soft breeze I like to pick out patterns in the clothes as they flip this way and that. The chance for relaxation and day-dreams makes washing a truly happy occupation.

The first numbers were like small magazines. Inside the heavy blue covers were about forty pages of glazed paper containing editor- ials, short stories, features, athletics, personals, and other bits. Since it was printed only five times a year, there could be little news. The senior classbooks at the close of each semester were included in these issues. ln fact, all the issues were more on the order of classbooks. During the war only two issues were published, but beginning immediately afterward four numbers appeared each year. In October, l925, appeared the first copy of the Sesame which could be called a newspaper - a pamphlet, exactly half the size of the present paper, which was issued thenceforth every two weeks. lt contained a review of the assembly programs and the work of the various clubs, sports happenings, and several humorous CPD jokes. A year later the Sesame News was presented essentially as a new organ. The paper was of three column width and appeared every two weeks. Later it was issued every week. This policy continued until 1935, when the paper was enlarged to make possible more cuts and more up- to-the-minute news. The Iournalist Club has always been one of the most important of the school's societies. From the beginning the club's activities have been much the same, presenting prominent journalists as speakers and preparing ambitious members for positions on the Sesame News Staff. Members of the club are not necessarily a part of the staff of the school paper. In one enterprise, however, the lournalist Club of a decade ago far surpassed the achievements of any before or since. Fifteen minutes every six weeks were donated to Sesame News by KDKA, and thus the paper enjoyed the distinction of being the first school publication to appear on the air waves. A popular activity of the staff is the local chapter of the Quill and Scroll, there being at the present time nine members from our school. This society is an International Honor Society for High School Iourn- alists, and a membership in it is the highest honor a high school journalist can attain, lt was founded in 1926. Shortly afterward on October 27, l927, the local chapter, known as the Fremont Order, was formed. Membership rests on scholastic standing, service on the paper, and journalistic ability. Those receiving the honor this semester were Ruth Furman, lngred Westerberg, Roberta Birine, Marion Yund, Margaret Klinzing, Dorothy lane Konstanzer, Robert Nellis, and Gordon Larson. .i....37..l. ......s......s,...- .., ,.....Ls.w..m.-..n..t.....t.1.......f....tl.s..1... ....,... .slim ' PRESENT ORCHESTRA L, 38 'lT45'f- ,L IVR Hifi f ' 1'1.Pxh-JN.

Mr. Arthur, who was a member ot the first class to be graduated, probably realizes more than any one else the change that has taken place in the quality and the quantity of the work clone, at present, by our music department. Way back in l9l7 when the school opened, the students met once a week, an eighth period, they sup- plied their own instruments and received no credit tor the work. Today the time of two teachers is con- centrated on muisc, The school owns one hundred and six instruments and nine pianos. This equipment is valued at 95l0,00U. The library contains more than 5000 complete orchestrations. Developement of Music Department l. l9l7-March-Fred L. Davies instructor in mu- sic-each Monday eighth period-no credit.

Miss Florence Wayman was appointed to the position vacated by Miss Deithorne. Mr. Ar- thur, from then on has handled only instrumental classes while Miss Wayman took over Voice and Harmony. lt is the duty of the orchestra to supply some mu- sic at all school functions, such as assemblies, Class Plays and Commencements. All of this they accept as routine. Special work is done for Parents Night, Radio Programs, national and local, special concert assem- blies, and outside ceremonies, such as, playing at the Senior Convocation at Syria Mosque, and the pageant at Syria Mosque in celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of Education in Pennsylvania. The band is obliged to play at football games and pep meetings. The voice classes aid the orchestra in its work here in school. Together, with the aid of the dramatic classes, they have produced several successful operettas. The first, in 1928, was HLELAWALAH by Cadrnang the fol- lowing year, ROSEAMUNDE by Schubert was given. The third was Victor Herbert's BABES IN TOYLAND, in l93l. The last one was given in 1936. It was MY MARYLAND by Sigmund Romberg. Throughout the semesters our student musicians have provided many hours of enjoyment and worth- while entertainment. Their record in the past shows that the future will bring even more delightful pro- grams to the students who will follow us.

RUTH BARCLAY MARCH DAY The day dawns dark and dismal, And gaunt black trees lift leafless arms toward heaven, A lifeless sun glows faintly through the thickening smog, Arid gives the earth an eerie ghostlike glow. Slowly as the day wears on, The sun takes on a stronger light. The smog moves on to other parts, And all the world is gay and bright. Mary lane Griffiths ! DRAMATIC NOTES This semester the Dramatic Department has added something novel to the regular routine. One-act plays were performed for clubs who requested enter- tainment of this sort. The Little Theater and Girl Reserves Clubs were among the first who took ad- vantage of the generosity displayed by the dramatic classes. Two of the plays presented were Finders Keepers and Pearls These plays were presented for The Little Theater and Girl Reserves Clubs respec- tively, and according to the club sponsors were en- joyed very much. PEARLS CAST Polly -.- .,.,,,.,....,, Mary Sarraf Peggy --- ---Marion Yund Tad ....., ---Karl Brown Mr. Brown -- ----- Harry Gardner The play is woven around three principle charac- ters, Molly, Peggy, and Tad. Molly upon returning home on her birthday is presented with a beautiful string of pearls by her thoughtful brother, Tad. Peggy, the eldest of the three, quickly brings an end to Molly's joy, by informing her that a string of val- uable pearls, just like the ones she has received from Tad, had been stolen from the Rosenvelt Store, in which Tad has been working, and that they suspected someone in his department to be the thief. Tad had been chumming with the Casey boys, three young men with questionable reputations. Naturally, though they find it hard to do, the two girls suspect their brother. At this point, Mr. Brown enters in quest of Tad. Molly and Peggy, believing him someone from the police, quickly conceal Tad, who is sleeping on the sofa. They concoct a story as to his whereabouts, but just as Mr. Brown turns to leave, Tad wakes abruptly from his sleep. Embarrassed, the two sisters endeavor to cover up Tad's sudden appearance, but accomplish nothing except to make the situation a quite humorous one. Tad and Mr. Brown leave the room chatting. Rosie Blume, who has been keeping the girls well, if not too well, posted on the pearl sit- uation, telephones to inform Molly and Peggy that the thief at last has been found, and that a detective, Mr. Brown by name, was on his way to nab the criminal. The sisters now believing their suspicions true, were more worried than ever. After an eternity of waiting, crying, of biting their fingernails, and tearing out their hair, Tad nonchalantly enters the room. He discovers their suspicions, and plops him- self into a chair disgusted. The phone rings. lt is, as We realize by this time, Rosie Blume. Peggy who answers the phone realizes just how wrong Molly and herself had been. Rosie tells her that the Casey boys have been arrested for the pearl theft. After a few minutes of coaxing Tad forgives his sisters. lt seems that the Mr. Brown who came for Tad was but the man who had sold Tad the pearls and was collecting the last installment on them. The play ends with the three seated happily around the table, 40 1- Y Program Armiversclr Twentieth the enes from Sc ANNIVE A? QHOOL QSARY W H :GH EM . .f T A FINDERS KEEPERS CAST Mrs. Aldrid ,,,A .... E velyn Fivars Mr. Aldrid ,-- ..... Charles Fisher Mrs. Hampton ,- ,,,. Virginia McCallum The story deals with Mrs. Aldrid, a very selfish woman, who has found four hundred dollars in a little white beadedpurse. She is determined to keep the money while her husband, Mr. Aldrid, is determined that she shall endeavor to find the owner. While they are arguing about this, Mrs. Hampton enters and tells them that she has lost four hundred dollars that was in a small white beaded bag. Mrs. Aldrid realizes that the money belongs to Mrs. Hampton, but she determines not to return it. After Mrs. Hampton's departure, Mr. Aldrid demands that Mrs. Aldrid turn the money over to him to return it to its rightful owner. They quibble about it, but finally she leaves to get the money. She discovers that both her purse and the money are missing. Mr. Aldrich gives Mrs. Hampton four hundred dollars of his own money. As the story ends we realize that Mr. Hampton has lost all respect for his wife, because he has found her so dishonest. ASSEMBLIES ON PARADE UST as pictures differ in a large art gallery, so did the assembly programs of South Hills differ this past semester. Besides seeing celebration of our twentieth Anniversary, as South Hills High School, brief, interesting glimpses of Germany, Boulder Dam, and Annapolis were caught by wide-awake students. Other subjects, different as day and night, also pro- vided em'ertainment. As our minds flash back over the semester, the Easter Assembly pops into a prominent place. The egg and bunny decorations plus the changing color of the window in the back drop, which was the work of the stage crew, made a pleasant background for the harmonious songs of the choir and Howard Thomas's solo. The bunny dance by Mary lunge and Edith Morgan reminded us of the days when we believed in the Easter bunny As we progress farther into our gallery of mem- ories of assemblies, a picture of a fair attracts our eye. As we look closely, we notice it does not look like the Allegheny County Fair. No, it is a fair in the Black Forest of Germany, presented by the Ger- man Club under the direction of Miss Green. William Dippel and Ray Kalberer were two Americans who met in far off Germany and attended a fair together. The rest of the German Club took the part of German peasants and they presented the dramatic and musical part of the show. To the delight of the happy-go- lucky fair-crowd, as well as of the audience, William Patterson presented a Punch and Iudy show with his own Marionettes. A short time ago Major Bowes, in the person of Bob Nellis, presented a South Hills Student Talent Show in Iunior Assembly. Featured were: Iames Kaukas, a baritone, singing On the Road to Manda- lay, a ballet dance by Iune Cooper, a very much appreciated tap dance by Ruth Barclay and Edith Morgan 5 Patricia Dunnigan's monologue-- A Bride's First Trip to the Butcher'sg When I Was Seventeen, sung by Dorothy McDowell, Charles McGill, accom- panying himself, singing Roll, Iordan, Roll, and a violin solo by Flora Ulrich. While the Iunior Assembly was entertained by this light amusement, the Senior Assembly found equal interest in a more serious subject. Mr. W. A. Kirkpatrick, a construction engineer for the Boulder Dam, brought slides concerning this enormous dam. The great vastness and general importance of this dam was stressed, and some of the figures given made the audience, including the seniors, gasp. Ruth Coepland announced tin true English style- rather - She Stoops to Conquer presented by the Little Theater Club. The cast included: ,Herbert Keebler, the fatherg Mahorie Millerfhis wife, Ioseph Berkley, the hero who made a bad .blunderg Eileen Fallen, the blushing heroine, and Win, the mischiev- ous Tony Lumpkin. The brief visit to Olde England was very enjoyable. Since the program was pre- sented near Memorial Day, a tribute was paid to those who have died in defense of our country. A picture of Lincoln was flashed on the screen while the orchestra played selections from My Maryland. The Gettysburg address was read, and a reverent hush came over the listeners. Even Bonnie Lassie, the cow, found her way to South Hills. The Dairy Council of Pittsburgh pre- sented pictures of his life story. Clncidentally, one freshie went home and told her mother that she saw a picture of a cow from the time it was a little lamb.l Along with Bonnie's life story, pictures of Annapolis and some of the cadets drinking milk, were shown. The best memory-picture of Assemblies remains for last - that of the Anniversary Program. A large birthday coke baked by the stage crew was the object about which many girls danced under the direction of Mary lunge, Edith Morgan, Betty Everet, and Betty Noah. A March of Time showed South Hills and faculty through the years l9l7-1937. The dresses worn at various proms brought forth gales of laughter. The trophies in the Trophy Case in the Hall were presented, showing how South Hills has won fame for herself. We hope she will continue to do so in the future. We come to the end of our picture-gallery of memory pictures. Perhaps many years from now you will stroll again down these galleries in your thoughts and remember the twentieth anniversary of South Hills High School. DOROTHY THOMPSON. i....42 .

It is truly a nation-wide proposition and attainment of its membership is not to be despised nor held in contempt. We are all familiar, or should be familiar, with the four objectives of this society. They are fll schol- ar ship, 125 leadership, f3l service, f4l character. Scholarship is one of the first to be considered, and is given special mention in the Constitution of the organization, its meaning is plain. Service means showing a willingness to serve the school in the way of working on- a committee or staff, acting as a repre- sentative of a report room, class, or school, helping others by acting as a big brother or sister if the per- son is an underclassman, or by assisting a fellow- student who is behind in his work. Leadership is ac- credited to those who show initiative mentally in the clasroom and physically in promoting an important high school activity, who contribute ideas to the school which can be incorporated into its civic life, and who successfully hold high, responsible, offices. Character can be shown by meeting obligations promptly and with an honest spirit, by being cordial toward teachers and fellow associates, by helping remove bad influences, and by personally demonstrat- ing good characteristics such as honesty, and relia- bility, thus, sayeth the Society. To those already in the society: Congratulations! To those still out: Strive! With an ardent desire to win a place in the society, and with its principles not only in mind but also in constant application, you are bound to become a member of the South Hills chapter of that great fraternity, The National Honor Society of America. . THE CIRCUS I believe that I shalll never outgrow my love for a circus. From the moment that I step from the hard pavement onto the soft, saw-dust-covered earth, my blood surges through my veins with a warmth and my heart pulsates with a vigor that are associated only with a feeling of high excitement and expectant thrills. Beyond the high board fence, covered with glaring posters extolling the mammoth proportions of The Greatest Show on Earth, lies a world of fascination and allure. The eye is first met by flashes of spark- ling splendor as the sunshine hurls itself against the glittering sides of the gloriously-painted wagons. Af- ter this first barrage one becomes accustomed to the glare. Lining the short thoroughfare, which termintes in the entrance to the Big Top , are refreshment and novelty stands of every description. There are the iinmaculately clean and gayly-decorated shops with their neatly-uniformed clerks and endless variety of articles as the familiar one-man booth with most of time only one novelty for sale, perhaps a queer sort pin, or some kind of candy, or even chameleons. No circus would be complete without them. Rising be- hind these stands are the various tents with their incomprehensible maze of ropes weaving strange pat- terns on the azure sky above. Few realize the many canvases necessary at a circus. Hidden, as it seems, on the edges of the grounds are the dining tent, the draft horse tent, and others. The former is distinguish- ed by a column of black smoke lazily curling upward above the expansive spread of canvas, and the rattle of the metal dishes as they are prepared for the next meal. On a closer approach one can sense the odor of burning wood and coal. A quite different odor, however, but one which I find rather enjoyable, greets one at the draft horse tent. The lines of huge, muscular beasts standing under the open tents form a very effective picture, and as I see their massive, shaggy feet firmly planted in the straw-covered ground which supports their powerful, low slung bodies, I experience a feeling of strength and security. The greatest ex- citement is found on the little thoroughfare leading to the main tent, however. Here can be found people of every type. There is the poor, aged negro carefully placing her hard-earned money on the ledge at the ticket window and looking tenderly at her joyful granddaughter as she presses the tickets to her breast. There is also the privileged child whose parents buy everything and bedeck him until he looks like a verit- able novelty stand itself. Planking the principal tent is the side show. Before the brilliantly-painted bill boards of the various acts, shouts the barker perched on his raised platform. On either side of him are rep- resentative acts, the African pygmy widely beating his pieces of iron and uttering weird incantations, and the giant walking among the mystified throngs. A circus is, indeed, a community by itself, a community of hard Working souls whose only wish is to enter- tain and thrill the critical public. Like any community, though, however admir- able and noble may be its ideals, a circus is not with- out its unfavorable features. Because of experience and my natural distaste for such things, I have come to regard the side show as such. The huge posters loudly exclaiming the attraction as the greatest col- lection of oddities ever assembled are greatly exag- gerated, and many are the people who have discovered this fact. The wanton exploitation of freaks, for that is just what a side show is, is a sickening exhibition. It is pitiful to see nature's hideously deformed or 44- , 1 'Hie- i 3 wr MLY-I disfigured creatures set upon pedestals to be feasted upon by the eyes of humans who delight in such con- temptible and base displays. It is also embarrassing, not only to those on view but also the spectators, for it seems that they are imposing upon the poor un- fortunates and are thoroughly scrutinizing those qual- ities which they would seem to want to conceal from the eyes of the public. It is a low form of entertain- ment, and it is quite strange that some of us, in the high state of civilization wheich we find ourselves, still gloat over such ignoble amusement. The side show is like a worm in an otherwise perfectable delicious opple, something we would like to do without but, nevertheless, can't. One of the less-publicized attractions but, still, one of which I thoroughly enjoy is the menagerie tent. It is not the many cages of rare animals that I find so pleasant. If one has the desire, he can see most of them at our own zoo. Many enjoy it because they are able to see a show free. It is what you might call a show, for there are Indians and Indian exhibits and the antics of many of the animals are as funny as a majority of our so called comedians. I find something greater than this to interest me, however. Neither is it the education gained from the explanations on the cages or the exhibits that I find so enticing. It remains a favorite, rather, because of the appealing and ten- der scenes produced under its burning canvas. On everyone's face is the look of astonishment as they view the strange beasts, and a smile of mirth as they watch the peculiar and almost human actions of the monkeys. Then there is the frightened child scurrying to his mother for safety after catching a glimpse of the line of mammoth elephants rocking back and forth the length of their chains. Into the Indian Wigwam can be seen impishly crawling a curious boy who is dissatisfied with the displays outside and believes that there is something inside which he is missing. Certainly, no one could look on these scenes of child- ish delight without sometimes a smile and at other times a lump in his throat. The reason why we all go to the circus, though, is the performance under the Big Top. Even the anxious waiting before it begins contains something which causes my heart to beat faster. As I repeated- ly examine the profusely illustrated program and look at the maze of ropes and bars high overhead, the aerialists seem to take their places there and go through their amazing and sensational acts. Only the sudden clash of cymbals and boom of the drum, announcing the commencement of the long-awaited performance, breaks my reverie. To the accompani- ment of stirring music enters the entire company in a dazzling and gorgeous pageant, which serves only to Whet my impatient anxiety. Finally, the glorious parade completes its circuit around the track and I sit breathless awaiting the entrance of the first troupe of aerialists. From that moment, everyone sits tense watching the performers whose acts seldom fail to send a quiver down one's spine. Often there are death-defying feats of such a stirring nature that everything else ceases while a finger of brilliant white from the powerful lamp, life the finger of death, fol- lows the single performer through the air. A roll on the drums and a sudden hush of the audience signals such an event. As the daring artist laughs at death and makes his sickening leap, there are expressions of terror on the faces of all. Welcome moments of respite from such tension are presented by the inimi- table clowns and trained animals. Some of the mar- velous things done by these wonderful beasts seem almost unbelievable. The clowns in their priceless 'pantomimic sketches have come to be revered by young and old alike. I feel a sense of remorse only when a huge cannon is wheeled into the arena, for. although it is the climax of the lengthy program, it announces the ending of the arousing spectacle. A deafening roar and the sight of two human projectiles bursting from .the mouth of the gun brings forth a thunderous applause. It is all overl Everyone has enjoyed the spectacular and thrilling performance, a clean, wholesome afternoon well spent. Perhaps, herein, lies the reason for the universal appeal of the circus. It is an entertainment for the entire family, from the youngest to the oldest. Today, the greater part of our amusements is for only parts of the family, a pitiful but true condition. Sel- dom does the entire family go together to an enter- tainment anymore. Much of it is entertainment of a poor type, unwholesome and what you might call cheap . Often it is offensive to our moral character and is rabidly opposed by all public-spirited organiza- tions and individuals. One would find it necessary to look far and wide to discover a diversion as fine in every respect as the circus, however. The circus has become an institution, and its annual tour is always eagerly awaited. It is fascinating and romanticg and most important, it is wholesome and invigorating. The humor is splendid, simple pantomime understood by all. A person feels as if he has gained something by going to a circus. One need only to look upon the beaming and happy face of a youngster intently Watching the performance to grasp fully what a cir- cus means. As I slowly retrace my steps over the saw-dust, by now almost completely stamped into the soft earth, I feel a definite sadness, a sadness perhaps caused by an intense longing for something far away, something out of reach, but, nevertheless, something which holds me completely spellbound. RICHARD CLEMEN T ..45..-.- f.tWN.,, Swoos HOBGOBLINS HEN I was younger, I thought that there was no holiday so breath taking as Halloween. The gaily- colored costumes, the roly poly clowns, the awe-in- spiring skeletons and ghosts, and the gay surround- ings of this October night intrigued me. I enjoyed the happy crowds, the red smoke-surrounded torches, the black and orange cat and witch ballons, the multi- colored masks suggesting guess who , and general feeling of excitement that filled the air. I can remem- ber being struck dumb by the first appearance of the Halloween parade and following it for hours just to watch old Mr. Gregor, bedecked in a baby costume with all the trimmings, even to the none too clean nursing bottle. But the thing I liked most about this night was created within my own imagination. I liked to sit in the darkness of our attic and invent little stories about the witches and goblins. These fanciful tales usually had little sense, but to me they were the most wonderful in the world. I would pretend that the orangle colored crescent in the black sky was the home of the good witch, and the darkness that rested in the cradle-like moon was the home of the wicked witch. The stars in the sky suggested the sparkling eyes of cats, goblins, and bats-just the perfect -setting for this sinister night, and one from which I drew little pictures and stories. I would create a battle between the virtuous witch and the vicious hag. The battle would grow exciting, and the little tin whistles of the ragamuffins begging peanuts from door to door, served as the shrills and howls of the two contestants. The climax of the struggle reached, the little goblins of virtue would rush in on the scene and help the kind witch to overwhelm her foe. Maybe this creation of mine does sound silly, but at the time I could think of no story I liked better. Halloween, un- like other holidays, was a day that made little, foolish things so worth-while and exciting. That's why I liked it. No matter how much Christmas had meant to me, the best holiday of all was the thirty-first day of Octo- ber. Christmas might have been packed full of cle- lightful surprises, but it never failed to happen that half our relatives dropped in on us for dinner and left me the dishes to do. The pine tree covered with bright- ly colored balls and the shimmering tinsel never had any fascination for me. I always thought of the week ahead when the tree had to be untrimmed, taken down, burnt, and the needles in the hall alcove, where it stood, swept up. Every Christmas I wondered whether or not I had gotten Aunt Millie and Uncle George the right gift. Not only that but it seemed that I never got just what I wanted. I'll never forget that Christmas when Aunt Io proimsed me that gor- geous brunette doll in Kaufmann's window, and what did I get-a miniature carpet Sweeper so that I could be mother's little helper. Halloween was not like that. The only dishes that were left were a few cups, silverware, and a pile of neatly stacked paper plates. Mother always served a light lunch on Hal- loween for dinner. She was just as excited to get things in shape for the evening as we were. Next to my stories, I liked the taffy pulling and the apple bob- bing that mother planned, I didn't mind smearing myself generously with dripping butter or burning myself on taffy. I didn't even care if my Halloween costume did get splotched with water and my head did get a good ducking, because the more mussed up I got the better time I had, and I'm quite sure that I always had a good time. Yes, Halloween was bet- ter than Christmasg and today, as I look back, I rea- lize that Halloween meant more than all the pine trees on the Rocky Mountains and all the toys in Santa's workshop. I found out many years ago that when things are least expected, they are most apt to happen. I remem- ber in particular one Halloween night. I was quite excited and happy, for I had been promised my first Halloween costume. It consisted of a pair of my broth- er's patched knickers, a moth-eaten, crow neck sweat- er, a pair of worn out men's socks, shoes that were heeless and practically soleless, and a golf cap that I wore backwards, leaving a fringe of bangs and straight hair as a border. After struggling into my clothes, or rather :ny family's clothe's I toddled down the front stairs, out of the door, and down the street to the boulevard, where l awaited the colorful parade. As the procession approached, I joined the merry- makers and pattered along to the time of the noise- maker that the boy beside me rattled furiously. Ahead of me there was loan Crawford and to the right of me Charlie Chaplin. Never before was there such a throng of celebreties together. As I pushed myself forward, a tall, kindly looking man, wearing a badge with the word Committee on it, approached me. He gathered me up in his arms and set me on his shoulder. After being carried into the corner drug store, I was told, much to my surprise, that I had won i453-.- 90 ANNWERSAR :GH SCHOOL .f first pri:e for my characterization of Iackie Coogan. I was also told that I was the cutest little boy that he had ever seen. I was given a year's supply of tickets for the neighborhood theatre, but being a non- paying attendant of the movie house, because of my age, I sold the tickes to my family. It seems to me that this was not only the most thrilling Halloween I ever spent, but the most profitable, as well. All things, however, do not have to be profitable tc make them exciting. I would not have taken all the money in Pittsburgh in exchange for the door-to-door canvasses that the gang and I made after the parade was over. I can recollet Very well one of those night promenades. It was a cool nightg and as I walked briskly to the appointed meeting place, I noticed that the air smelt of rain. There on the corner waited lean and Kitty, and it wasn't long until Dot appeared. The four of us made our way down the street. The first house we approached was a dainty cottage set back from the sidewalk. The straight tall poplars that were placed in an even row before the flower garden seem- ed to guarding the little shuttered house from intrud- ers. A candle-lit pumpkin adorned the front window, and the smile carved on its face seerner to beckon a welcome. A little, old, wrinkled lady opened the door slowly. She had a basket in her arm filled with pea- nut brittle, taffy, and nuts, with which she stuffed our little paper bags. The door closed behind herg and as we started on our way again, a flash of lightning streaked the sky, and everything became a ghostly white. For a moment the huge oak across the street and houses in back of them blended into one and were silhoutted against the sky. Then all be- came black again. Undaunted we went on down the street, passing by the uninviting houses and the va- cant lots. We continued on, stopping here and there in search of Halloween goodies. As we reached the corner, the four of us stopped dead. There in front of us was the gloomy home of Mr. Ransom. He lived there all alone and led a hermit sort of life. He had the reputation of being the crossest man on that street. The laughing pumpkin in the window mocked us. After a long discussion, I was chosen to knock on his door and beg candy and nuts. I moved hesitant- ly on the path leading to his door. The wind whistled through the treets and bent the willow on my right toward me. It seemed to be saying, Go back. just then an unearthly scream filled the air. I felt a lump in my throatg I looked downg and there I was, standing on the tail of a hissing black cat. It needn't be said that I got out of its way in a hurry. I stood still for a moment, and then, just to show the gang that I wasn't a coward, started walking quickly towards his front steps and walked bravely to the front door. A stooped mean looking man opened the door. I stammered my plea for nuts, and much to my amazement, he entered the back room and came forward with a large can of sweetmeats. He placed it in my outstretched arms, and as he shut the creaky door, a glint of satisfaction came into his eyes. Believed and happy, I rushed down the path where my friends awaited me. They were quite as surprised as I was. We decided that the spirit of Halloween must have affected him, too. It was getting late so we started homeward. From a house up the street the happy children were leaving a masquerade party amidst an array of confetti and popcorn. Across the way from them there was an other group of youngsters on the same quest from which we were just returning. Tired and sleepy the four of us plodded homeward through paper strewn streets and the remains of Halloween night. Before I realized it, I was at my doorstep where I parted company with the other three. After retiring that night, I reviewed the happenings of the evening in my mind and de- cided that Halloween certainly was a great holiday. When I endeavored to figure out concrete reasons to justify my liking for Halloween, I never got very far. I didn't care particularly for the pranksters who dumped next door's garbage on our side porch, nor did I appreciate those Carlson brats who splashed tomatoes in unbecoming designs over our large front windows. There was certainly nothing that I disliked more than those soap loving individuals who believ- ing themselves artists, drew intricate pictures on the car windows. It was always I who had to wash them off. But even so, it can't be denied that Halloween held a certain glamour for me. There was no one or two things that made it my childhood favorite. Perhaps it was because it was such a colorful dayg then again, maybe it was because it was so friendly. But why bother to go into detail. I could never fully explain, even to myself just why Halloween had such an ir- restible charm. Perhaps it was my youth, perhaps it was the atmosphere, but, at any rate, I know that Halloween night held the thrills and glamour that no other holiday could ever have offered. MARY IUNGE. .l47.1. ,A ANNIVE il qw CHOOL QSARY Q-. HW' fi INDEPENDENCE DAY To me the fourth of Iuly is the best holiday of the year. I am not interested in the races in which fat men make themselves ridiculous by chasing a peanut over the green turf with their nose, or in the sprinters who sprint for the first prize of a pair of green sus- penders or a pair of pink embroderied ankle socks. I am not amused when, squealing, the greased pig runs rampant, accompanied by the screams of terrified women and the grunts and groans of men and boys suddenly and unceremoniously sent sprawling to the ground. It irritates me to see boys and young men viogorously attempt to climb a greased flag pole, merely to win a dollar prize. I dislike it immensely when night finally drops her sable mantle, and the blackness is shattered by the Roman candles that roam heavenward to burst in a shower of fire. It pains me to see the Sky-rockets wiggle skyward like comets that have lost their way, then as the Whirlygigs whirl, and the Nigger-chasers chase, the citizens laugh and shout and attribute their actions to patriotic fervor. I become disgusted when I think of people cel- ebrating Independence day in such a fashion, it seems to me that they should apologize to Uncle Sam and ask forgiveness of the American eagle. The real patriotism is exhibited on Iuly Fourth by the people who listen to the orators who soar to lofty heights in telling the story of Betsy Ross and the making of the first American Flag. These are the people who feel that something deep and sincere is in the story of George Washington and his hardships at Valley Forge. In the tales of the great patriots, like Patrick Henry, who ut- tered the stirring words, Give me libery or give me death, there is something that cannot be supple- mented by such things as fire-crackers. I like to see the flags, the banners of our nation, flapping gently from their poles, or see them draped carefully and ar- tistically from porches, windows, and automobiles. I enjoy the music on this day because of the signifiance of each patriotic song. When the red-uniformed bands toot America on their gleaming instruments, or when a hundred trained voices open their hearts and pour forth My Country, Tis of Thee, or a soloist lifts the souls of his listeners by the beautiful, yet lively, strains of a patriotic number that makes the people realize how lucky they are to live in this great, free country. It is the thoughts of the deeds of our forefathers who made this memorable day possible, that makes Chirst- mas and New Years retire to the background when the Fourth of Iuly arrives. HOMER KING. if 'k 'k i' ll' TOPS I don't know why but I think Ioe Penner is tops when it comes to radio comedians. I think it is not because his jokes are so laughable, nor is it his piti- fully silly ballads, sung to sillier music, it may be because of his babyish infantile sayings, or the way he lisps when he speaks. The reason I, and every- body who listens to him, like him is because of the witless, insipid character that he makes to live before one's eyes. I like the foolish unthinking method he has of doing things over the radio. He inflates one's ego, people see how silly he is and think how much wiser and intelligent they are. I like the variety in his program, he doesn't hog the whole show as other comedians do, he is unselfish in that he allows his aides to appear and they receive as many laughs as he does. Every Sunday, as regularly as clockwork, our family drops anything it is doing and runs for chairs near the radio to listen to the tops of radio comedians. IACK PUGSLEY. 'lr 'k 'k 'k it CHICKEN A LA KING A lively hen without a coop is capable of being very exasperating. A small chicken on our farm taught me that very conclusively. With a docile look and a few tame cackles she would gain my confi- dence only to shatter it as soon as she was free. With the cock sureness of a bantam she would strut down the yard gathering followers to try some new venture. Always her excursions into the world ended in disaster, for she led the entire stock into mishaps. I could never guess what might happen, I could only edge up on the scene and prepare to right the wrong which inevitably would come. Under the blankets of my memory would stir remembrances of the time she had dashed at the picket fence with a retinue of fowl at her spurs, and of the strike she -had stirred up among the sitting hens. I was not alone in my un- easiness. Even members of Ifer family would disperse to the far end ofthe lot when she was released. The appearance of that speckled piece of poultry would even make the Ierseys go lumbering into the barn to chew their cuds. The farm hands considered her the cinder in the, slnoe of comfortable country life. When I could stand no more, I would round her up. A scurry- ing ball under the slanting steps, around the buckets, between rows of white clothes, behind the wood pile, rushing round and round, could turn me into a track team. Clever traps eventually would catch her, but often I tried coaxing her back with grain. She would only peck so far, then scamper away through the pal- ings of the gate down the road. The return of that fowl to her private coop was like the end of a War. MILDRED COOK. if 'A' i' i' ir FOG DREAMS Some name it pea-soup And curse it. But I Call it the Misty Transporter Drifting quietly down And surrounding the city, As a host of soldiers Enclose encamped enemies, The furry, feline fog brings Comfort to my harrowed mind. I feel release from trouble as The air thickens, people fade From sight. I am alone in dreams. My fancy wanders to lands unknown. Unseen, untraveled wildernesses, Shining silver seas, Majestic mountains and Green plains pass before my vision. Cities, villages and towns. Little green grass huts rise like toadstools In the islands of the South Seas, While in Africa the Mahoohoo Ghost-like tracks down his prey. I need no ship, No train, no plane, To take me on my travels. Only a milky mist and dreams. Betty Wayman -its + . - '3:2?'.h - ' Q 2 D . fy, -Z. .- .1 I .' ' . U .'

Undoubtedly, the fact that there was no home field, had much to do with their standing, as all scheduled home, games had to be played at the grounds of the opponents which placed the Tunnellites at a disad- vantage from the start. Outstanding on the squad was pitcher Aaron Hopkins whose fine hurling found little support from the bats of the Tunnellite sluggers. While he has permitted only an average, of two hits a game to the opposing nines, the Tunnellites were unable to gar- ner a better number from the enemy hurlers. Assist- ing him on the mound duties were Bud Ott and Lefty Capalbo, both of which were ready to be called at any minute for relief work. However, because of his batting ability, Ott, who captained this year's squad, was switched to first base duty and was only called to the .pitcher's box when it became absolutely neces- sary. ' Showing his versatility, Flip Phillips stepped from a second base position and Very capable filled back- stopping position which had been left vacant with the retirement from active playing of Pete O'Malley who 1--49 was forced to leave the squad because of illness. Playing second base for his initial year on the team, Gordon Larson teamed quite well with the veteran Willie Miller who held down the shortstop position. Miller is one of the fastest men on the squad and was a constant worry for the opponents when he was on the basepaths. As guardian of the hot corner, Bill Wortcheck, succeeded in saving many games by brilliant stops and lightening-like throws to nail the runner at first base. Covering the outer garden for the Hilltoppers were Severa, Brady and the southpaw centerfielder Bob Kammerer. Kammerer, one of the most likeable fel- lows on the team, provided the squad with much pow- er at bat by taking his turn in the clean-up position. Brady and Severa stood out as ball-hawks and con- stantly throughout the seasonkept pulling in the long drives of the enemy batsmen which seemed destined for extra base wallops. By dropping the deciding game of the season to the Oliver Bears, .South Hills was definitely put out of the pennant race, butiarendestined to be a deciding factor in the finalresult of the league and will succeed in getting into the leaders hair by displaying the bril- liant play which placed them at the top of .the loop last season. f QW Px SAR 5 . IGH 5Cl'lOOL X BO YS, TRACK TEAM TRACK 'While this season's track squad did not succeed in winning any championships, it was quite successful in reviving the interest which has been lagging in this sport during the past seasons. With Walt Caivano setting the pace tor the squad by consistently winning the hundred yard dash, and the two-twenty yard grind, the entire team put forth a brilliant display oi field and track work. Finishing filth in the city-finals just fifteen points behind the leader, Westinghouse, the Tunnellite squad placed tar higher than was expected of them. With Caivano as his outstanding star, Coach Cuddeback built his squad up to form a sizeable array of talent. By relying on Paul Klipsic, erstwhile basketball manager, to run the mile, the track mentor was repaid when the black-haired runner outstepped the foe runners and swept across the finish line in the fast time of four minutes and forty-three seconds. Small, but dangerous Frank McGahey led the lightweight division for the Hilltop squad and placed tor the team numerous times throughout the season. He reached the crowning point when he won the hundred yard dash in the lightweight division, against the pick of the district. Allan Apt proved to be a wise selection for the eight-pound shotputt in the lightweight ranks when he hurled the iron ball tor a new scholastic record ot forty-five feet, five inches. With a dependable second string squad ready to step in at any moment, the squad was at no time pressed for material. Al McCrum kept the Hilltoppers among the lead- ers by irequently placing in the discus throwing event. Lanky Frank Pressacco gave the squad a de- pendable member for the pole vault, and while this was one of the squads weak points, undoubtedly the tact that there was no jumping pit for the high jump- ers and pole vaulters had much to do with this. One ot the most promising of the new members is Herbert Beck, an importation from Knoxville. He is an outstanding star in the high jump and broad jump. While the season's squad has made a quite rep- utable showing, Coach Cuddeback is looking forward to next year when the team will be completely com- posed oi this year's veterans. TENNIS Following the usual routine of an elimination contest to decide the members of the squad which will compose the South Hills tennis team, the net followers are desperately lighting for a position on the roster. The winners of these contests will meet the victors of like events from other city high schools. The squad has an eye on winning the trophy, an honor which South Hills has yet to accomplish. The squad will be without the aid ot the veteran Rex Brenneman who has been declared ineligible. His brilliant serving and steady torehand drives were a great asset to last year's squad. The opposing schools that meet the Tunnellites this year will probably be against lack Criswell and Merle Horstman, the players who seem to have the lead in the elimination matches. ..-.5Q,. ,,,.,,,, LEADERS CLUB GIRLS, ATHLETIC TEAM ,,. 51 i.

After three weeks of careful drilling by Miss Oyer, ten girls were put in shape to take the test. The girls who took the test were Eileen Armstrong, loy Barg- hausen, Betty Baldinger, Mary Iohnson, Grace Hueth- er, losephine Menegazzi, Bessie Leach, Edith Fincher, Dorothy Glumac, and Mary Burns. The test consisted of carries, releasing grasps, resuscitation, and an oral quiz. The girls who passed the test are Bruce Huether, Eileen Armstrong, Iosephine Menegazzi, Edith Fincher, and Dorothy Glumac. sl- -k A- A- -A- CARNEGIE TECH PLAY DAY Fun, fun, and more fun! That is continually true in the gym department for one event follows another. Five girls were sent from our school to participate in the annual Carnegie Tech play day held on May 8 from 9:00 till 2:00 o'clock. This day is set aside so that the girls from all high schools in the city and surrounding territory may have a get together affair. After the girls took part in the different events, such as, mushball, volleyball, basketball, and swim- ming, they enjoyed a delightful luncheon. The five most able girls on the gym floor were in attendance. They were Iulia Coll, Dolly Klein, Marian Fincher, Hilda Blinn, and Agnes Kubelick. Everyone had a good time and felt the friendly atmosphere that prevailed. Paddle Tennis, Deck Tennis, and Shuffle-board-- -- -- Paddle tennis, deck tennis, and shuffleboard were welcomed by all the sports minded girls. After a lengthy play off in these events, leaders were secured for each group. The paddle tennis champions were Elsie Rall and Virginia Buskirk whose skillful playing gave them an undefeated record. Kubelick and Baggani came out first in deck ten- nis followed by Danforth and Spahr who succumbed only to the champions. Bretti and Coleman reigned in the field of shuffle- board with Kubelick and Baggani in a very close second position. Although there were sixty girls receiving points ranging from l5 to ll5, it may be noted that the only girls receiving more than l00 points were Baggani and Kubelick, who participated in all three events. al- -A- -k -k -k TUNNELLITES WHO HAVE MADE GOOD Carolyn Edmundson ,.,.....
