Two hundred expectant stu- dents sat listening to their first instructions in South Hills from Dr. Winner. They were thrilled when assigned their report rooms, yet reluctant to leave friends who had shared all their past school experiences. Veterans at the game, however, advised the newcomers that soon new friends would be made and the spaciousness of a cold building would diminish with familiarity. We were those ignoble freshmen 5 we, the seniors of today. Pk ,lf SF Well, the first year passed and was enjoyed. Then we were aspiring veterans, playing the same tricks on the new freshies that the year before had irked us. No longer would we have innocent freshman alibis to sustain us. Our first real opportunity to support our school came on Friday evening, April 25, 1936, when My Maryland was produced. Be- sides aiding in the sale of tickets, we contri- buted the talents of Louise Roenpage and Grace Butler. An unexpected vacation! It was near St. Patrick's Day, but it wasn't a typical Irish celebrationg 'twas the Hood of '36, How well We remember . . . November - football season came again, and from our experiences last year we judged that this would be a rip-roaring team. Our squad certainly set the pace. Then came November 215 our team clashed with Alle- gheny in the play-oi game. What a game! South Hills emerged victorious. The following week our nightly prayers were said more fervently. Saturday we came out in numbers grand and joyous to cheer our team on to victory in the deciding game with Westinghouse. We prevailed over the foe and again became the proud possessors of the city championship title. Upon our promotion to the junior class in February, 1937, we took upon ourselves the responsibilities of class organization. The March 19 issue of the Sesame News featured a last-minute fiash of the results of our class election which was held the night before. The successful candidates were James Smith, president, Mabel Dieter, vice president, and Frances McCoy, secretary. Mr. Fred Glaser was chosen as class guardian. March 19, 1937, saw our invasion of the social whirl. Our first adventure was the belated St. Patrick's Day dance held on this date. The event of the twentieth anniversary of South Hills came on April 19. To celebrate this festive occasion a dance and two assem- blies relating the history of South Hills were llield. So passed April with its famed showers which brought the usual May flowersg but, perhaps more important to us, it also brought the baseball season. After a brilliant show- ing our boys were rewarded with the section championship. As 11A's we won the honored description of the intelligentsia of the school , for on October 22 our class ranked highest in honor standing. The change to the A-S-U system of marking must have spelled good luck for us. To add to our honors, Klipsic took all honors when our track team met Langley on ,Dctober 22. South Hills gained the coveted Clean-upi' trophy on October 28, rewarding the coopera- tion of the entire school in this movement. Football season again saw the Hilltoppers on the offensive. After winning the section title, the airshafters began to train for the crucial game with Peabody. Slated as the under-dog, South Hills came up from behind to defeat Peabody to the tune of 8-0 in the championship game on November 20. We had won the last Pittsburgh city champion- ship game, because a change in the rulings would no longer classify the teams into sec- tions. Pasky, Harris, and O'Malley played important parts in our football triumphs. Sweethearts, the second musicale presented during our stay at South Hills, was held on Thursday and Friday, December 9 and 10. Clarence Burke and Betty Noah were fea- tured, and thirteen other members of the class participated in the chorus. Preparation for our senior year began on December 13 when the ring committee se- lected onyx and ruby settings for our rings. In February 1938 the February class of '39 took over the reigns relinquished by the former seniors. The first step was the re- organization of the class. This was accom- plished on February 25 at a class meeting. James Smith was reelected president, Matt Pasky was elected vice president, Frances McCoy, secretary, and Mabel Dieter, trea- surer. South Hill's loss was Herron Hill's gain, for on March 31, Mr. Rhinehart left our school to become principal of Herron Hill School. Although promoted to the position of vice-principal, Mr. Glaser consented to re- main as our class guardian. UH me -femur Looking Backward--Continued The last lap of the journey finally arrived. On the afternoon of October 4 we held our first class meeting of the semester. The ap- pointment Of the prom committee and the selection of class colors made this meeting an important one. The prom committee announced that this gala occasion would be held Thursday eve- ning, January 26, 1939, at the Schenley Hotel. Apronstrings Revolt was the title of the play chosen by Miss Price. The cast re- hearsed tirelessly, for the date of produc- tion, November 18, soon arrived. Christmas rolled around again, and during our vacation Cwhich We felt was very much neededl We counted the number of school days still remaining, only 14 more. If it hadn't been for the fact that We were too busy to think, We would have had that empty feeling. One by one the days slipped away . . . class day with its array of blue and red came . . . our program Was, in the Words of Mr. Glaser, the best yet. With all the frivolty and gaiety of youth at its best, the prom was ushered in. It was designed to be the most splendid aifair Of school life, and indeed it proved to be. Pk Sk IF Once again two hundred pairs of feet troup- ed into the auditorium. Two hundred ex- pectant students sat in the auditorium. This time the atmosphere was different. It was January 31, 1939, and We were receiving the congratulations and blessings of those who had been near us the past four years. We bade our mistress school good-bye and greeted the Waiting world.

Twice Seventeen HOTEL LA STUFF, Pittsburgh, Pa. May 30, 1955, 7:45 P. M. THE DATE of the class reunion of the Feb- ruary 1939 class of South Hills High School has finally arrived. As we leave our hats with Francis McCoy and enter the enormous French room of the Hotel La Stui in Pitts- burgh, where the banquet is to be held, we hear the familiar voice of Wallace Gottfried, nationally famous master of cermonies, an- nouncing the arrival of the Hon. George Ellis Jones, Governor of New York, and Mrs. Jones. As we enter the room ourselves, we see many a familiar face. Why, there's Blair Henry, president of the Radio Corporation of America, talking with his side-kick, Dr. Wil- liam Saalbach, professor of differential cal- culus at Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy. And over there is Dorothy Mazzioli, con- sidered one of the ablest economists of the day, talking to Morris Bram, chairman of the Federal Power Commission. As we're about to speak to Ruth Ackerman, interior decora- tor, we're interrupted by the voice of the an- . , nouncer heralding the arrival of Edward Tuomi, the movie director, famous for finally producing Gone With the Wind. We hear he has just fiown here from the film capital with Joe Locks, his camerman, Dolores Colli- gan, stand-in for Deanna Durbin, and Nellie Glass, script-girl. The pilot we understand was Floyd Upside-down Byers, Who, it is reported, will play the lead in Mr. TuOmi's next big production Clipped Wings. Looking at the program, we see that the lovely floral decorations were done by William McCracken, florist. Mary Jane Galbreath is the dietician who has planned the banquet and Stephen Lux, chef at the Waldorf Astoria, has attended to the preparation of it. After the banquet, we are to dance to the music of Harry McCabe and his Orchestra, featuring Lillian Truver as vocalist. At this moment Miss Betty Grant, the fashion dictator of the age, arrives wearing a stunning gown of her own creation, accom- panied by Virginia Roberts, head buyer of Macy's Department Store. The literary profession is represented by Warren Bailey, poet, Louise Roenpage and Uflfli-f69DWQ1f Twice Seventeen-Continued Hilda Cohen, authoressesg Charlotte Brand, editor of The Girl's Constant Companion, and Norma Hall, book reviewer, al.so, Mary Stewart who is covering the event for the New York Times. Seated at the table across from us is Betty Messer, supervisor of athletics at Pennsyl- vania College for Women, Leland Frazier Federal Investigator, and Bob Montgomery, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. We notice, too, Ellen Berg and Carolyn Yund, both teachers at South Hills High School. The distinquished looking man to whom Virginia Doerfler, national president of the Women's Civic Club is talking, is William Finch, owner and president of the Tootsie-Fruitsie Ice Cream Company. Those three men sitting be- hind them are Robert Cress, tobacco auc- tioneerg Robert DeHaven, designer for the Ford Automobile Company, and William Wagner, financier. We're aware of the fact that several of our number are absent, but after an excellent meal and several .speeches by our celebrites, our attention is called to toastmaster Robert Heil, well known to all of us in public life as Director of the U. S. Mints, who reads the following telegrams: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN SORRY TO MISS REUNION STOP 215 MORE DAYS TO GO SIGNED WILLIAM SIX-DAY BATES BERMUDA DIVING FOR PEARLS STOP WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SIGNED JOE BAIR BORNEO WOULD LIKE TO BE WITH YOU STOP NEGO- TIATING RECIPROCAL TRADE TREATY WITH THE HEAD HUNTERS SIGNED MICHAEL DE MARCO U.

CONDUCTOR ON BROADWAY LIMITED STOP EMMETT COFFEY, HEAVY-WEIGHT CHAMP ON THIS TRIP SIGNED CHARLES SMITH The speeches over and the guests well satis- fied with the telegrams, we are about to dance when we run into a young riot. Some one familiar is in the center there. Why it's Don Harris, renown dance instructor, and crowd- ing around him, eager to see and pass judg- ment on the latest thing in swing, are such notables as David Dotchin, world tiddly-winks champ, Frank Karr, football coach at P. U., champ miler, Anthony Klipsicg and Louise Mann, who writes a daily column on advice to the love-lorn in the Tomkin Corner Daily Bugle. At home attending to her duties as hostess is Martha Cole, hostess at the Troca- dero. I' ' Leaving a little early, we see preparing to leave Hubert Palmer, D.D., and William Patt- erson, managing engineer of the Mellon Insti- tute. And so we give one last glance, a fond good- bye and pass once more into the noisey down- town, leaving the February 1939 Class to carve greater niches in the hall of fame and delve deeper into the World's business and education.

QZQH me -feww Traveling With Topper As THE old year draws to a close, we find that many lasting friendships have been formed, but none more interesting nor more loyal than those between Toppers and their Pen-pals . Let's go along with Topper on a trip around the globe and meet these people who have done so much in bringing many Toppers in Contact with all parts of the world. Our first stop is in southern France, St. Quentin Gard, the home of Mlle. Madeleine Menut. Madeleine helps our own Ruth Acker- man remember her French lessons of a few years back. This fifteen-year old Miss has many hobbies, among them fishing for craw- fish and following the bicycle races. Quite unusual for a girl, n'est ce pas? In the province of Soane-Loire, in eastern France, lives M. Edmond Duthy, the corres- pondent of Nellie Glass. During the three years in which they have corresponded, Nellie has received quite a collection of for- eign souvenirs. Edmond collects stamps and is an ardent movie-goer. He enjoys seeing such stars as Dick Powell, Errol Flynn, Jimmy Cagney, and Clark Gable. You may be sur- prised to know that nearly half of every French movie magazine is made up of Ameri- can stars and picturesg and that Myrna Loy is topped only by their own Annabella. Just across the Rhine, in the city of Han- over, Germany, we find Louise Roenpage's pen-pal, Herr Hans Alpers. He has the tra- ditional German appreciation of music and spends a great deal of time at the operas and symphonies. This being true, Hans' cinema favorite would naturally be Jeanette Mac- Donald. As Hans can write no English, Louise must write all of her letters in Ger- man, which is enough language practice for any one. And now Topper takes us across the blue Mediterranean and down to South Africa, where Beryl -Simmonds lives amidst all the gaiety of Durban, a sea-shore resort of Africa. Between garden parties and Military Balls, Beryl still finds time to write four-page let- ters to her American friend, Vivian Jacobs and 21 people living in seven other countries. Beryl goes to the horse races, which are great events in Durban and thinks that spelling bees are jolly nice. Since her father is a lieu- tenant in the R. D. L. I., and president of the railroad in Durban, Beryl gets to travel a great deal. She has toured Africa and Eng- land three times, but has never been to America, although that is her one desire. Across the wide Indian Ocean and through the China Seas, we find a group of tropical islands, the Philippines. Topper Hilda Cohen carries on an interesting correspondence with Miss Elisea Cid Floresca, a most gracious Filippino girl. Her father is a statesman in Spokane, Washington. Elisea belongs to the P g Tweztyf 1' Ilocos Norte High School Glee Club and plays both the piano and the violin. She often writes about the floods, typhoons and earth- quakes which so often occur in the islands, and was quite concerned a few years ago about our St. Patrick's Day Flood. She wrote: It was knee-deep. However, Hilda, your residence was at the top of a mountain, and you weren't flooded. She wasn't very much concerned with raising money to pay for the Hood for, The United States is a rich nation, and when machinery works, out pours the countless sums of money. Elisea's letters are very profuse and the thoughts are so disconnected that they are rather humorous. Wellington, New Zealand is quite a popular place for letter writers. Dorothy Dooley writes to Sara and Elizabeth Birrell, two sisters of Korori, Wellington. Sara wrote very cheerful letters, expressing her intense desire to come to America. Well, Sara's de- sire was fulfilled. For, last year, she visited the United States, and remembered to visit Dorothy. There was quite a difference in Sara's appearance when she was here. She no longer wore the navy uniforms or the boyish bob required at school-and what a permanent wave and powder can do for a girl l Dorothy also writes to Miss -Suzanne Clarkson of Kilburn, Wellington. Suzanne is an ad- mirer of Don Ameche, and was quite Deeved when she failed to get an answer to a fan letter she wrote him. She has some queer ideas about the United -States, especially about Out West and the political relations between United States and Japan. She has taken for granted that Dorothy has toured a great many states. Maybe Suzanne doesn't realize what a huge country this is. Dorothy Mazzioli corresponds with Miss Margaret Fendall of Wellington, New Zealand. Dorothy has received many gifts from Mar- garet and a year book from Wellington Girls' College. Following Topper across the great Pacific we find ourselves back in the United States. Here Topper bids us Adios, Auf wiedersehen or Au revoir. The sentiment is the same in any language so we'll just say - Best Wishes. --.T-. SCHOOL WOES I dabble now in names of things, In little fits and spasms, I fumble with my dates and kings, Before the brinks of chasms.

A9 Sonott .- - - Just the other day I learned something about Sir Walter Scott, the great English writer. The fact that he paid a debt which legally was not his es- tablishes him as one of the most honorable men of all time. At fifty-four, he abandoned the idea of founding a family home and began to dedicate his earnings to the payment of this debt. As I read this simple story from a man's life, I began to count those debts we all owe as human beings to our fellowmen. First, there is observance of the rights of others. Perhaps the best rule to be applied to this debt is the Golden Rule, Do un- to others as you would have them do unto you. Then there is kindness to those less fortu- nate. If everyone could be happy and contented in this world, it would be a Utopia. So we must try to feel a bit of compassion for those who do not have the advantages which it is our good fortune to have. Cooperation, too, helps to make possible the completion of plans which make present day living more comfortableg and finally, courtesy is a trait which many of us ignore, but which helps make not only ourselves but those who meet us more satisfied with the contact. Have you, as an individual, stopped to think about your un- paid debts'Z Count your creditors and start today to pay what you rightfully owe by thoughtfulness for the rights of others, kindness for those less fortunate, coopera- tion with fellow Workers, and courtesy to all. .

Despite the tense feel- ing on the Continent, the boys already have visited Germany, Italy, and Czechoslovakia and plan to enter every other coun- try there within the coming year. No wonder the Oil City high school football team has been so victorious of late, what with an all-girl drum and bugle corp present at each game to inspire them. The outfit boasts of thirty- eight players besides three girls who will twirl the stick, all of which are attired in bell-hop uniforms of blue and white. Some fun, we'll say!

At any rate, he played the speaking part of the wicked, wicked witch in Snow White. The villain! But since his voice also belonged to a couple of our favorite dwarfs, I think we can forgive him. Martha Cole must get a lot of practice in fainting-for, anyone who saw the class play, knows that such a beautiful dead faint as she performed doesn't come by accident. I wonder who the lucky hero is off stage. Hubert Palmer has a secret yearning to be a second Graham McNamee. No, I'm afraid that English drawl won't work, Hubert. Lee Frazier resident of the S CA will Sometime in the future there will be a sec- ond Clark Gable of stage and screen in Eddie Tuomi. Rumors have it that he's going to crash Hollywood. There go the hearts of the coming generation. Enough gossip. Let's travel to the more serious accomplishments of the South Hills Music Department. The choir and the orches- tra each have outstanding credit due them for their individual work. However, the co- operation of the vocalists with the instru- mentalists have given us such exceptional performances as: the colorful Thanksgiving program, so successful because of the pre- cision and informality with which it was pre- sentedg the South Hills version of that old favorite of the story hour-Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs-fthe choir supplied the 1 p - - -9 probably one day work himself right up into the Whitehouse. The tuneliest of all tunes come from the harmonious trio that performed on the class day program. Their names-Mabel Dieter, Lillian Truver, and Louise Roenpage, of course. T M s ws E Page T is fl? I I ,, fi ,7 . ,F , IF tm Z E A TJ singing voices of all the pantomimic charac- terslg and the radio broadcast from South High. Introduced on this program were the newly organized string and wood-wind en- sembles under the direction of Mr. Joseph Kreinen. These groups also played before the Chamber of Commerce, in the Frick Building. Such ventures as these uncover and develop much talent that would otherwise remain hidden within the students. Here's a toast to the forward progress of our alma mater. Eight representatives from the choir were selected by Miss Wayman to take part in the Stephen Foster Memorial commemoration. Combined with the vocalists of other schools they formed a choir of ninety-six members. Great favorites of assembly audiences and of all the mothers and fathers, who attended the class play and the Parent's Night perform- ance, were the Trumpeteers-William Hurd, Richard Schumann, and Kenneth Kennedy. wagers They played an intricate arrangement for three trumpets, suitably titled The Three Kings . Not even Horace Heidt can get ahead of South Hills music-makers. We are down to the last group-and when I say last, but not least, I do mean the band. It is one that any school would be proud to hail as their very own. I have often watched them after school, going around and around the athletic field, monotonously repeating their routines. Over and over and over, but repetition brings perfection. And that is what Mr. Arthur nearly obtained from his seventy-five marching boys. Strikingly at- tired in blue and white uniforms, the band stirred the patriotism of all who heard their interpretations of march selections, school songs, and special arrangement of the Don- key Serenade. The center of attraction in the Armistice Day Parade was the whirling, twirling drum major, Ray Gantz. And then 'twas the Friday before Christ- mas. The assembly hall reverberated with the strains of Silent Night and the other favorite Christmas Carols, bringing to a close a successful year in the music department. Thanks to: Miss Florence Wayman Mr. Robert Arthur Mr. Joseph Kreinen Us me eferpaagij SCENE FROM APRON STRING REVOLT My Apron String Revolt ALTHOUGH the weather was rainy, an al- most record-breaking crowd turned out No- vember 18, to see Apron String Revolt, produced by the graduating class under the direction of Miss Price. Mr. Glaser, Class Guardian, estimates that the number of tickets sold came very near the thousand mark, a splendid showing for a February class. The success of the play was due to the splendid cooperation of the members of the class with those who were directing them. Apron String Revolt is the tale of what happens when the apron strings are forcibly discarded by the younger generation, as eX- emplified by the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Holt and her son, David. Mrs. Holt takes David's part against Henry Fenstermacher in a quar- rel which David believes to be an affair be- tween him and the coach alone. His pride injured, David runs away from home to prove to his mother that he is entirely self-su1 fi- cient. In the heat of the chaos caused by David's impromptu exit, Mrs. Holt appeals to the Coach for aid. Fenstermacher, who is more than a little attracted to the widowed Mrs. Holt, brings David Cwho has defeated his own purpose by wiring home when he got into troubleJ back to his mother. When Coach, tipped off, aided and abetted, by Anna- bell, gets David to take Mary Lou to the dance, and wonder of wonders, to fire the furnace, Mrs. Holt's indiference toward Fensty entirely disappears. Wisecracking Annabelle and the incorri- gible Mary Lou, whose greatest fault is her youth, add a comedy touch to an already amusing play. At the risk of seeming trite, may we say- A good time was had by all. APRON STRING REVOLT Dorothy Rood Stewart Friday, November 18, 1938. Mrs. Elizabeth Holt ,.................,.................

Allen Page Thirty-eigbt 7'lJil'fj'-7li71C' efafle -famw Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs UN E OF the most attractive programs pre- sented as an Assembly Program was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, given Decem- ber 21 and 22 to celebrate Christmas. The performance was a skillful blend of the fairy- story and the motion-picture versions. How- ever, an entirely original touch was added by having a pantomine on the stage, with voices coming from members of the Dramatic Class, concealed back stage. In cases where sing- ing was necessary, a third person supplied the necessary songs. So carefully synchro- nized was the action with the Voice, that the pantomine was not immediately recogniz- able as such. The characters, solicited from the entire student body, bore a remarkable resemblance to those of the motion picture. No small de- gree of credit for this achievement was due to Miss McCahill, who did so well the almost impossible task of supplying proper costumes. Senior B Edna Mae Morningstar, and Senior A Stephan Lux were, respectively, Snow White and the Prince, while seven wee freshies carried off honors as the seven Dwarfs.

A CAPELLA BLUE ROBED CHOIR Page Forty Page Forfy-of cfs me -femur Art Department ART CAN be traced back as far as the early cave man. We have found that he drew pictures to express thoughts that men of to- day write. As progress came, the art improved. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Chinese created many works of art that are admired even today. During the early sixteenth cen- tury Raphael and Michal Angelo, the world's greatest master painters, produced pictures that can't be surpassed. When America was discovered, then settled, art was carried on here. There are, living and dead, Americans who have contributed much to the field of art. Today there are two main divisions of art, the realistic and surrealistic. Some critics say that the surrealistic and the realistic are both needed while others think the former will die outg however, both are being used now. The artist who intends to make a living at his art usually enters the commercial field. Here he designs all the wearing apparel and implements that the world uses. Because of this fact, art is included in all high school courses if the student desires it. In the modern high school, the art student finds he may use many mediums to work in. He has the choice of charcoal, crayon, pencil, water colors, or oils and may receive instruc- tion at any time. Each year in Pittsburgh, there are poster contests. The contestants are all high school pupils and the prizes usually are in the form of money or scholarships. South Hills High School has always had entries in these con- tests and won many awards. Art becomes more popular each year in the schools as the students see its value. It gives them an appreciation of the subject, and de- velops their talents, but most important of all, it makes more intelligent higher cultured citizens. Crafts UNE OF Webster's definitions of a craft describes it as a manual art. Ever since the beginning of time, as far as man is concerned excepting Adam, men have employed manual arts. Way back in the prehistoric period man had his crafts. He had to make his implements with which to kill or prepare his food for eating. As time went on man took a liking to things which were ornamental. Man may possibly have made himself a knife and then decorated the handle. By and by men began to make bracelets and crude necklaces. To us these objects would not possibly seem artistic. They did although serve their purpose to the prehistoric man. They also served as a beginning for the pres- ent day crafts. On down through the prehistoric period man has made beautiful works of craftsman- ship. Consider the Arabians. The beauti- fully carved swords and sabers of these people are quite famous. There are so many beau- tiful works of craftsmanship that they can't possibly be listed here. During the period of the Renaissance the artists and craftsmen were combined. In other words, most every artist at that time was a craftsman also. During this age the craftsmen were combined with and backed by wealthy buyers to raise the crafts to their peak in existence. During the period just previous to the manufacturing age and during the earlier part of this period the crafts flourished also. Almost every wealthy person had to have hand made jewelry and the like. Think of how such enthusiasm would encourage the crafts. Even in the present period some wealthy people aren't pleased unless their jewelry is hand made by an expert. The crafts have come a long way since their beginning, and in the year 1912 they came to the curriculum of Pittsburgh schools. The first crafts class of South Hills High School began in September of 1917. South Hills is now one of the five high schools teaching the subject. These schools are Allderdice, Alle- gheny, Peabody, Schenley and good old South Hills. Our school is exceedingly fortunate in having such a subject as an elective. A fairly sizeable number of students has taken to the subject. There have been so many stu- dents in the city schools that some have been turned away. A few of our students have produced some beautiful jewelry. Our crafts classes are fortunate in having the able Miss Bittaker as an instructress. Miss Bittaker has been a member of the school faculty for three years. As a whole she has found her students quite attentive in their work. There is quite a showing of seniors in the present crafts classes, and Miss Bit- taker estimates their number to be at least forty per cent of the whole enrollment. Possibly you wonder why these students take such a subject. Of course, it makes an excellent hobby for anyone who is interested enough. It develops originality in artistic trends. Who knows? One of our classmates may some day become famous for his artistic hand made jewelry. Perhaps. We're hoping. EFI 1he V125 Eff V K ::, -25:21 V .'

I 5 UH me -fermw FOOTBALL SQUAD Football DUE TO graduation, Coach Mazeski was left with little promising material at the beginning of the last football season. Having only four regulars from last year's champion- ship team, he set out to make the best of it. Although the team finished the season with one victory and one tie out of seven games, the boys have gained much experience. This should prove invaluable to next year's team which will be composed on the Whole from the present squad. In the backfield was Pasky, Weber, Wor- check, and Murphy, with Martiere showing promising form. Pasky and Weber made up a passing combination which kept their op- ponents constantly in fear as to when they would strike in a touchdown drive. On the line Hirt, a veteran of the 1937 championship team, was kept on the bench a great part of the season due to injuries. Davis capably filled the shoes of Al Zellman, his predecessor. At guard Patterson did Well enough to gain himself honorable mention on the all-scholastic team. Harris, Umberger, Montgomery, Regal, and Matis rounded out the rest of the line, all performing capably. Although this season has not turned out quite so successfully as it might have, We be- lieve that by the experience gained this sea- son, Coach Mazeski can expect great things from his team next year. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM-CITY CHAMPIONS Page Forty-fou For CEA me -femwi Cross Country AT THE opening meet with Peabody, Coach Cuddeback displayed a group of runners with much experience, speed and stamina in his cross-country team. Among the South Hills runners were such veterans as Anthony Klipsic, City Champ in Cross-Country 1937, Robert De Haven, and Charles Wolfe. The Tunnellites romped away with this meet with an almost perfect score. Klipsic took first, Wright placed third, Wolfe fourth, Geil fifth, Wiggins sixth, and De Haven seventh. Due to the strength of the Airshaft har- riers, Coach Cuddeback booked a meet with Canonsburg, a strong W.P.I.A.L. team. Al- though Klipsic took first place, Canonsburg won the meet 23 to 36. Another meet, with Aliquippa, also a W.P.I.A.L. squad, was held at Schenley Park. As usual Klipsic came in on schedule in first position. Wright followed with a fourth, Wiggins came in fifth, and Geil placed sixth. The meet was barely won by Aliquippa by a 23 to 26 score. Basket ITH A team composed largely of Vete- rans, Coach Cuddeback is looking forward to a successful basketball season. At center is rangy Frank Holliday, dangerous on oif-the- board plays. Playing forward are the two consistent players Klipsic and Icardi, who work their plays with an uncanny smoothness which accounts for many of the team's points. At the guards are the stellar Zeke Young and sophomore Jack Worcheck. These two boys although not high scorers are largely responsible for the points that are scored due to their accurate and timely passing. On November 10, South Hills' Cross-Coun- try team won the City Championship, record- ing the lowest score in city history. The Tunnellites took first place with 39 pointsg Schenley second, with 73 points, Langley third, 91 points, and Peabody fourth, 97 points. For the second consecutive year Tony Klipsic captured the Cross-country championship of the city, breaking the tape, for the two and one-half mile grind, in 12 minutes, 45.6 seconds. Wright finished next for South Hills taking sixth place in 13221: then Geil came in eighth clocked at 13:38.93 Wiggins finished tenth in 13 :40g Wolfe four- teenth in 13:50, and DeHaven sixteenth in 13:54. To the boys of the Cross-country squad go the utmost congratulations of the graduating Senior class for bringing to South Hills its first Cross country championship. Although we realize that with us we are taking Tony Klipsic, there is left behind enough promising material to continue the fine precedent you have set forth. Ball Dropping their initial encounter with Fifth Avenue 30 to 25, did not really show the mettle of the Tunnellite cagers. The second team played a large part of the time for ex- perience since the game was not a league game. Although they lost their game to Connelly Vocational, the South Hills basketeers showed the accuracy and form which has been lack- ing in their play from the beginning of the season. BASKET BALL SQUAD emma -feww LEADERS' CLUB Leaders' Club THE GIRLS' Leaders' Club, organized for the benefit of girls interested in athletics, is sponsored by Miss Stevens. Much of the success of the club is due to its sponsor and the following officers: President, Betty Danforth, vice president, Jean Magrinig secretary, Claire Fitzpatrick, treasurer, Josephine Menegazzig reporter, Margaret Lippert. The Leaders' club devoted most of its time this semester to athletic activities. Basket- ball was the most important one. Miss Stevens explained as clearly as possible, at the first two meetings in December, the rules for basketball and girls demonstrated the more difficult points. The Leaders do not spend all their time on athletics, they also include social dancing on their program. On November 17, the Lam- beth Walk was the feature dance. All the girls participated while Jean Coletti and Miss Stevens played the piano. Every semester the Leaders present an amatuer program. December 1 was set aside for this purpose. Jean Coletti played a piano selection, Ruth White gave a monologue, Ber- nice Kuehner recited a poem, and Mary Fallon played a clarinet solo. A trio consisting of Loretta Stark, Betty Danforth, and Margaret Lippert, sang I Like Mountain Music , and Small Fry . At the first meeting lunch squads and their captains were appointed. Betty Danforth, president, presided over this formal meeting. Swimming THE GIRLS' swimming meet has always had successful seasons and and that of 1938 has not proved an exception. The first event, which was diving, in- cluded the front and running front dive, the back and front jack, and one other dive. Loretta Stark, 12B, placed first in this event. The other events were the front crawl won by Betty Danforth, back crawl won by Loretta Starkg breast stroke won by Ruth McClellandg the tandem race won by Ruth White and Ruth McClelland. The final race was the relay in which Betty Danforth, Loretta Stark, Naomi Bucheit, and Margaret Lippert placed first. At the end of the meet Loretta Stark had S3 points, which put her in first place. Basket Ball Tournament BASKETBALL teams were formed soon a.fter the notice for candidates was posted. Any girl who wished could get a group of six or seven girls and enter them as her team in the tournament. Then the girls had to watch for notices concerning practice games and the start of the tournament. Different teams practiced each night. The practice games continued until Christmas Vacation and the tournament started immediately after vaca- tion. Any team that was beaten twice was eliminated from further participation in the games. There were sixteen teams which were to compete in the tourney. The basket- ball season looked as though it was to be a very successful one. Us me -feimw 11th and 12th GRADE VOLLEY BALL TEAMS ' Volley Ball XVOLLEY BALL was selected as the first after school event for 11 and 12 grade girls.
