Some ol' us will end our education here, while others will continue on to advanced col- leges and schools. Without the background we have received from South Hills. this would be an unsurmountable task. Wfe have not only received a substantial education to guide us, but also we can step into our new life as a good citizen. with all the attributes of making our society a better one in which to live. The whole class sincerely hopes that South Hills 'will be as.proud of us alter we have gone as they were when we were here. Although we leave South Hills, we will still remain a part of the school. Our memories will go back to the time we spent here. We also hope to be remembered for the work we have done to make the school a better one for our followers. We, the members of the 1950 Sesame Staff, have represented the memorable events of our high school career by a trip in HThe Magict Shoesf' an idea gleaned from a childhood story book. These are our shoes, which have the amazing power to take one back through our years at South Hills and set before one's very eyes all of the events and happenings which he will never forget. So come with us now and travel the roads of our high school life in our uNIagic Shoesf' SOUTH HILLS HIGH SCHOOL, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA f N392 Q vu- CDUIQ I3 AIQE fig.

During this time from early childhood there have been behind us guiding influences ol the home, church, and school. But the parents, untiring in their efforts to improve our position in the world have never lliiled. For all the sacrifices, for all the anxie- ties, for all the hardships experienced by our parents to give us a better world in which to live, we wish to pay our grateful thanks. The duty of every parent is to assist in attaining success for his child, whatever his endeavor may be, the duty of every child is to receive that assistance with honor, love, and obedience. That we have left loot prints to be proud ol' and to be followed is a desire from deep within our hearts. The paths next to be taken are many and varied. The success which we meet along the way will be etched with a share of the protecting and guiding influence provided by the home. For these reasons we, the 1950 Graduating Classes of South Hills High School, affection- ately dedicate this issue of the Sesame to the Spirit of American Parenthoodfmore especial- ly to that Spirit of Our Own Parents who have helped make our goal possible. BEECHVIEW SOUTH HILLS BROOKLINE KNOXVILLE BELTZHOOVER MT. WASHINGTON I have enjoyed the privilege of working with the members of the June l950 class. This month you will come to an important mile- stone along the road of life. It is significant that this ceremony is described by two termsg Graduation, a goal reached, Commencement, a beginning toward another goal. I hope that each of you can look back over your high school experience with the satisfaction that you have made the most of your opportunities here. Whatever your inventory shows, there is nothing you can do about it now. It is the studying you do AFTER you have finished school that really counts. Otherwise you know only that which everyone else knows. Whether you go to college, professional or trade schools, or to work, insist on yourself growing intellectu- ally. Best wishes to you all. Sincerely yours, f wld!! e HARRY D. BOOK Vice Principal I FRED W. GLAZER Principal QIIQWQ Your graduation - at the mid-century - marks an important milestone in your lives. It comes at a time when distrust, intolerance, dishonesty, intemperance, and strife seem al- most to be the ruling forces among men and nations. But all is not as it seems. ,Midst all this apparent confusion, you must try not to lose perspective. Do not forget that most of the good deeds that men and women, boys and girls do, seldom reach the newspapers, almost never make the headlines! The forces for good in the world are at work as ever they have been-fand your opportunity will come! As you leave these halls, to work, or to attend institutions of higher learningfwhat- ever you do-it is our hope that you will not forget that tolerance, kindness, justice, and happiness and that you will live and work to- ward the end that the 'world will be a better place for your having been here! At mid-century, we congratulate you per- sonally upon your graduation from high school, and wish for each of you much happiness in the years to come. Sincerely yours, J , MR. JAMES WV.

Mary Jane suggested we take a Rideout to the country for a picnic, but Mary Lou was afraid of the Wolves. Wil- liam said that Kennywood Park would Rankin Hrst place for picnic grounds. Besides, Willa said they had a fast Racer. Carolyn, mean- while, proposed a Kruse on a Ferri called The Lorraine. This idea did not please Robert who said, Oh Heck! I'd get sea. sick. But Donald said, HOh, Ewell go, wonit you Bob iw and finally convinced us all that we should take the Kruse. Now that the time has finally arrived, and the whole gang is assembled on board, let's look around. There's VVillard in a beautiful new suit from Parris. Over by the railing is Lois in a stunning Ruby-colored dress. Sheis talking to Marilyil who goes with that wealthy young Carpenter from Brookline. Speaking of colors thc-refs Evelyn in a smart tailored Gray suit. Well, look whois coming this way. It's Shirley WW W Wfwrff iW0ww' X 5 in a Weid-brimmed hat that is very becoming. It must be almost time for the refreshments. I donit know exactly what we're having, there seemed to be a difference of opinion. I remem- ber Louis said, 'gHamel suit me finef' Dorothy on hearing this replied, Ward Robert then added, NHave a Hartman, not everyone likes ham. I think Robert finally suggested that Yvonne who had great Skillen cooking, make a Stack of sandwiches. What was that splash! Oh, I see. A large Hsh just jumped out of the water. Gwendelyn whois quite the Fischer and Barbara are having an argument about what kind of Finn it has. I saw Jack downstairs and he said. 'cliibs just heard that they have a Newbauer named Roger at Albert Bauer's house. Gertrude said she just heard the Colwell lid better be on my way or Iill miss out on all the food. It must be ready, thereis Babette Muellerscheon the way to the table.

To many students of South Hills High School and their families, Friday night, Decem- ber 9th, l949, will be a night to be long re- membered. On that night, the class of Febru- ary l950 presented their class play titled 'illing Around Elizabcthfi lt was a farcical comedy that concerned the uCherry Familyf' The household centers about Elizabeth, the wife and mother of an irritating family. Her hus- band, Ralph, a selfish man thinks more of his fishing than his evenings at home with his family. Ralph and Elizabeth have two daughters, the older of which is Jennifer, an attractive girl who is infatuated with a playboy named Andy Blayne. Mercedes, the younger sister, is a precocious child of Hfteen, and con- siders herself a genius. Then there's Laurette Styles, Elizabeth's mother, who is extremely fussy and forges her name on antiques. Hu- bert, Ralphis father, is a volunteer fireman whose personal fire alarm adds to the confusion at intervals. To complete this lively household, S0 long, Jenny, see next year. go fishing. there is lrene, an old school chum of Eliza- bcthls, who minds everyone else's business but her own, and Vida, the maid who is continu- ally quitting or bossing the family. Another friend of Elizabethls enters the play, and her name is Harriet Gilpin, the banker,s wife. who orates evry time she opens her mouth. They all pick on Elizabeth when things go wrong, and to make matters worse, Elizabeth inherits a 5513300 legacy and immediately everyone Ends ways to spend her money, for selfish reasons, of course. To avoid the constant bickering, Elizabeth contracts a convenient case of am- nesia. and as a result, fancies herself as the Elizabeth of twenty years ago. She finds her- self a complete stranger in the household. and as such, when her family starts fussing, she tells them what she thinks of them. This sets the family right and when Elizabeth regains her memory, the family, having learned its lesson, no longer f'leans on Elizabeth and forces her to carry the load. you llut my husband wants to U Q7 - LV at 5,32 f f.

March 29, 30 South Hills Mid Century Revue brought forth a display ol' talent as is seldom seen in a high school production. Janie and Bill really enjoyed the show. lNlay 6 Our last Dance. HThe Nifty Fifty Trotf' at the Mt. Lebanon Women's Club, was simply dreamy. Janie and Bill hated to leave the dance when all that lovely music of Richard Elliott was played. May 18, 19 The Class Play, 'iThe Strawhatteris Case,', was a real whodunit that kept the audi- ence on the edge of their seats to the very end. Wlho had the lead? VVhy our friend Janie! June 2 The l2A Class picnic at the Park Lodge was a tremendous success. Everyone voted it so. June 9 Our Class Day at last! The show was a scream! Janie and Bill thought that it was the best South Hill ever had, but they're naturally a little prejudiced. WVouldn't you be ?? June I3 Recognition Day. Today we got credit for our four year accomplishments. Janie left a little sad, although she graduated with High Honor. June I5 Finally, what we've waited four years for. The Prom!! It was held at The Chartiers Country Club. After the prom we went out to all the i'Night Spotsn. This was a night Janie and Bill will never forget. June 20, 21 liast but not least, the grand finale, Commencement. Janie and Bill were really sad when they left the school that evening. But as we, the June H350 class leave, we leave many memories of good and happy times. l'Sl'.'Xl.LY SEEN . . . Sleeping ......,.. .. Dick Tale laioleing into 0 mirror ............. ......

The year is I965 and we have won the fabulous prizes of the give away show 'fGuess Again, You Wlere VVrong The Fifth Time. The show is sponsored by the Gallivanting Galoshes Co., and Robert Miller is the successful master of ceremonies of the show. A trip around the world is just a small part of the jackpot. Our first stop will be in London where we will attend the show at the famous Paladium. Vera Liberati and her G'Four Frolicking Femalesv, Joan Sompel, Gayle Stepp, Doris Seeor, and Carol llones, have been the rage of London for the past three years. Next we stop at the historic wax museum. Their latest wax figure is that of Kenneth White, statesman and lawyer who has done well for himself. As we approach Wlestminister Abbey we ree- ognize Queen Elizabeth wearing her latest creation designed by jean Moler. the Queen's private dressmaker. As we cross the English Channel, there is quite a bit of excitement. Sam Barley is at- tempting to swim the channel for his fifteenth time. As we leave Sam and the VVhite Cliffs of Dover in the background. we look forward to the exciting days in Paris. Thr: big ngwg in Paris these days is that the Eiffel Tower is being rebuilt by Zachary Vlah- os. who is acclaimed to be another Einstein. The thing that is never missed in Paris is the side- walk cafes. As we sit down for lunch, we notice the string quartet is directed by jack Black. In the quartet are hiary Francis Breinig. jean Mahood, Fred Rose and Dick Sheafer. jack, who once was f'Bee-Bop crazy, has since turned to the more serious side of music. As the train moves slowly over the Alps on our way to Rome, we recall the news that june Riflle has just been awarded a gold cup for being the most outstanding skier in fiftv years. In Switzerland. Judy Brainerd is resting up after winning the 1964 Olympics for her excellent skating. Arriving in Rome, we notice a large poster advertising a duel between 73 vicious lions and -foe Trunzo. the famous strong man. Our attention is drawn to the main box where we see the 'Tour Flips and a Flopw, Alfred Molli, Bob Hodgson, Malcolm Miller, Don VVhitely, and Ruth McAfee. They are on a world tour. Since our plane was leaving in two hours, we hurriedly departed. Earlier we had received a cablegram from Debbie Poulton who is now living in the Riviera with her wealthy husband. Debbie asked us to visit her so we gladly accepted. While in the Riviera. we attended Aqua- eadew, sponsored by Howard Snyder. the famous sports lpromoter. Among the swimmers were Ceorge Rommler. jack Wliedor. Dolores Anderson. Miriam Killinger and the world famous high diver Suzanne Smoot. Also, we saw light-fingered Ed Valentine. riding along in his bullet proof ear. ,Ed was recently deported for selling counterfeit Lone Ranger Silver Bullets. Flying non-stop to Cairo, Egypt, we feast our eyes on the huge pyramid being built by the 4'Roy Schwartz Female Fan Clubn in his honor. ' After leaving Cairo. we arrive in Moscow at 7:30 P.M. and go directly to the U. S. con- sulate where we meet Robert Caldwell, our ambassador to Russia. Robert went with us to the Kremlin Club , lVIoscow's famous night club. We had dinner there and saw the floor show, john Valodoiski Ctranslated means Bill Brownj with his Hooehie Coochies. They were Norman Zak- owitz, Vera Borowitz, Chucky Thomas, and Gerry Gutowski. Flying directly to Hawaii, land of Romance, we land in Honolulu. We find a beauty contest in full swing when we arrive. Diane Roessler, Nancy Dunn, Nancy Bock and Jean Miller are a few of the contestants. Bill Selvig, world's best authority on beautiful women, is the judge. While swimming in the surf, we see Bob Limbruner practicing his surf-board technique. He is the only person alive who can balance himself with one hand 'while going at the high speed of 100 rndes per hour. We took 3 slow bgat to the U, S, A, and arrived in San Francisco in time for dinner and a ghgw, Ronald Thgmpsgn, who is Starring in gi new series of Tarzan movies, is making a personal appearance here. Wlith him is his co-star Dolor6S MCFCatCrS. Arriving at the windy city, the first place we go is to Calumet City outside of Chicago. We went to a little joint called Red Salameu. OH the Stage is the famous dancing group, 'gEddie Biehl and the Banana Shaped Ballerinasw consisting of Eddie, George Smith, Agnes Faust, and Pat Pastin. On the stage now is Miss Pastin doing a tantalizing bubble dance. Frederick, the Magician, is trying to make the bubble disappear. From what we hear Miss Pastin might accept a job at the Casino in Pittsburgh as a chorus girl. VVe wish her good luck. Our plane is leaving for New York, so good-by to Chicago. VVe are back in New York and are traveling up VVall Street when 'we notice a big building with peculiar architecture. Immediately we realize it is the office of Mr. Eric Altree, who has become a famous Wall Street Broker. As we come to the end of the street we see Trinity Cathe- dral, now under the charge of James Snodgrass. People from all over New York come to hear his unusual sermons. We also stop to say hello to Albert Grover, the new curate. In a few'rninutesxve approach the rnuseurn of Pqatural Iiktory. iAl Plant takes us to see the model of the movement of the planets. From there we go to see the display of the American Indian. Jean Patunson,lundng umnked at an Indian Trannng Ckunp for a nurnber of yearg has gready nnproved the diqnay After leaving the museum we stroll through Central Park. The first person we see is Bob Gessner cleaning up the papers in the park. Bob seems to be in some sort of argument with Bob Iiayesxvho B the Ll S. channnon umesder. CDver by the playground Janet Chnran and hlarnyn CDtt are entertaining their clnldren. The lake looked terribly inviting so we rented a boat for an hour.

Suddenly the boat upsets and Gene and Billy Baird rush out to save them. The twins are the local lifeguards. By the side of the lake we see Gloria Nolton and Shirley Bloom sailing their toy sailboats. As it was about 4:00, we had time to go to the top of the Empire State Building. Mfike Macklen was our elevator man. The first building that comes into sight from the top is the mansion of the millionaires, Bob Locke, Dick Tate, Bob LeVine, and Bill Ober. The secret of their success is bachelorhood. Looking down Broadway 'we see Gloria Grif'l'in's and Jean Milleris names in lights.

Congratulations to everyone connected with HThe Strawhatters' Casei' for making it reach the pinnacle of successfulness. 'EThe Strawhatters' Casew is a mystery- drama in three acts which concerns the com- plications attendant upon the disappearance and the subscwuentlv discovered murder, of Magda Swanson. female Guest Starf, during a rehearsal of a mystery-drama at Cherry Payne's summer theatre in Connecticut. The play is reallv a complicated Kwhodun- itf' VVhen Sheriff Parsons, assisted by deputy Toe Fleming. arrives at the scene of the crime. he is confronted bv a galaxy of could-be sus- pects. Nicholas Parker. the conceited actor. along with the mystical Rosamund Clare and Chr-fry Payne, Present a troublesome trio to the aggravated Sheriff. Suspicion first falls on Burton james, who is discovered to be the divorced husband of Magda. Dexter Ross. lVIagda's Hance a New York ieweler. appears at the summer theatre and demands that the murdered be appre- hended. Penny Martin, the young and prettv inguenue who is understudying Blagda, and her fiance, Hal Phippips, the director of the csc d X U at an the Bat, the play in which the murdered Magda was supposed to star, deter- mine to clear Burton. They are sure that Burton is innocent, but in their attempts to save him, they only divert suspicion on them- selves. ln fact, in an exciting tusslc in the dark the two accidentally beat up the Sheriff, who they thought was the murderer. Further complications ensue when Made- leine, Magda's French maid, is found mur- dered. In the Hnal scene, Penny unintention- ally discovers the murderer. But what a time she had to pick, for the murderer has her trapped on a dark stage. Who do you think the murderer is???-None other than Dexter Ross, the confident New York jeweler. He confesses to Penny that Magda has been black- mailing him because she knew he was a buyer of stolen jewels. The action now reaches a high point as Penny manages to outwit him with the erratic assistance of Della VVatts, the well-meaning but muddle-headed prop girl of the theatre. And so, another class play has gone down in the annals of South Hills High School. The whole cast, monsters and all, sincerely hope that each of you enjoyed seeing it as much as we enjoyed presenting i'The Strawhatters' Case', to you. Hats off again to Miss Price. Catch her Joe.

R-'Cf X llcdl gl Ill' mx f ft-sf MID-CENTURY REVIEW South Hills' students, under the direction of Miss Stella A. Price, presented the Mid- Centry Review on the evenings of March 26 and 27. The Review was given to obtain funds for the purchase of new stage equipment. The production, supported by a cast of about two hundred, was considered a great suc- cess. There was a total of 2036 tickets sold lor the Wednesday and Thursday performances. The show lasted for two and one-half hours. The Thursday performance nearly filled the auditorium, which has a capacity of 1500. The Mid-'Century Review was a variety talent show given in two parts, both parts be- gan with selections from the South Hills Or- chestra, under the baton of Mr. Raymond Linkenheimer. Part One consisted of eight settings including 'gSouth of the Bordern, 4'Out Where the West Begins and Down on the Mississippi 'with selections from KShow Boat. After the intermission, Part Two began with a scene mln Old Vienna and ended with i'Down South in Dixie with selections from MMy Marylandi' by Sigmund Romberg. At the end of the performance, the entire company re- ceived a heart warming applause. HIGHLIGHTS GF THE SHOW. PART I 4'South of the Borderi' required a balcony setting on which Shirley Kanell and Lindsay Rinehart, who sang South of the Border were serenaded by the Cardamone Brothers with guitars. A Spanish Dance entitled El Chocolo , by Vera Liberati, concluded the southern setting. A magic show by Walt Frederick was an- other highlight in Part I. Walt's tuxedo and well developed patter impressed the entire audience. tEspecially the young ladies.j HOut Where the West Begins was the production with the largest cast in the Review. The western scene opened with a baritone solo by Ed. Kaufman. An KIndian Hunting Dance by Joyce Stevenson was a highlight in itself. The dance was well perfected and captured the audience's attention and applause. The Boys, Glee Club sang uMexicali Rose. Little Dolores Cross next sang the Tennessee Yodel Pclkaf, The next highlight was uThe Hirthquakes' singing 'iDearie and I Didn,t Know the Gun Was Loaded. VVhile the Hirthquakes were singing, the setting was changed for Down on the Mississippi. There were several excellent vocals in Down on the Nlississippii' including g'Old M2111 Riveri' sung by Donald Dudley. Part I was concluded with a tap dance called 'lHey Fellaf' PART II The curtain was raised on a setting 'chi Old Viennan. A String Trio played Vienna Life after which a quartet sang HLet My Song Fill Your Heart. The attentive audience enjoyed this scene. Janet Bayliss, accompanied by Ann Bayliss, sang a soprano solo Spring Comes to Vienna. 4'There's No Tomorrow was sung by Eva Lynn Pugh. A 'Tap Dance Duo by Shirley and Char- les Nanz was well accepted by the audience. Both Charles and Shirley are accomplished dancers. The Lali'-A-Tcers, led by Chuck Henzler, were recalled by the audience several times. Their unique performance accounted for this. The last setting 'was 'LDown South in Dixie . The Boys' Glee Club, dressed as Confederate soldiers, sang Boys in Grayf' A Country Dance in which twelve girls participated, iollowed this. The scene closed with the singing of 'iYour Land and My Landw by Janet Bayliss and the Boys' Glee Club. South Hills is much indebted to those with- out whose aid the show could not have been produced, namely, the 'stage crew, under the direction of Mr. S. Leroy Everett. All in all, the Mid-Century Review was ve1'y successful in attaining its secondary as well as its primary purpose. It connrmed that which many had realized, namely, that South Hills High School has more than its share of student talent. om: MAGIC slums BREAK RANK 5 4 Q W GIIEQSJTRY an ' 1 Gsgvg.

Let's Cheer sounded across Mt. Lebanon's field, any loyal South Hills fan could tell many new features had been added, especially as far as our cheer- leaders were concerned. Left from the previous season 'were three experts, Joanne Sompel, Joyce Stevenson, Mary Lou Benz, and six sweaters. Just exactly what was new? Well, Hve new cheerers, Gayle Stepp, Vera Liberati, Doris Secor, Jacqueline Paxson, and Loretta Fedon, and their manager Barbara Deem. Add to this list two clever tricksters, Carol Jones and Shirley Nanz, many original and novel forma- tions, and new versions for some well worn cheers. These girls, not to be outdone by the newly uniformed team, wore blue corduroy skirts and dickies, blue and white caps. The tricksters dressed in white and blue corduroy also, al- though their outhts were briefer acrobatic cos- tumes. 9 The cheerleaders presented a pleasing pic- ture of color and precision all during the foot- ball season and cheered on our basketball team to the stadium. This titlc contest ended the actions of the girls as a squad, but it will be many years until another group is able to sur- pass the efforts of the 1949-50 cheerleaders. en elwind he Scenes STAGE CREW First Row: Conley, Grogan, Ryan, Pollen Second Row: Bulford, Mr. Everett, sponsor, jones STAGE CREW Just look at that beautiful scenerylw i'That lighting is the best that I have seen! You could hear every word that was said! All these comments would not have been able to have been heard without the wonderful work done by the Stage Crew. Few people know the work that is done by the Stage Crew. This well organized group spends hours of time, and expends tons of energy putting up scenery and props for the schools various auditorium activities. A recent illustration of the aforesaid statement is the production and successful execution of the Mid-Century Revue? The stage crew worked some six weeks before the show started on props, stage settings, and electrical effects. They worked every afternoon after school until 4:30 or 5:00 olclockg and for the six days pre- ceding the opening night they wielded hammers and paint brushes from seven o'clock until eleven. It should be obvious to anyone who has ever seen any of the South Hills stage pro- ductions, that this highly-skilled, and well or- ganized crew is the most professional group in the school. The man behind the stage crew is Mr. Everett, without whose advice, the crew members say, they would not be able to ac- complish any work. To become a member of the crew, one must work his way up. The first semester one is considered a urookien and after a semester one is a member if he qualifies. A stage manager is appointed each semester and during the Febru- ary semester Tom Ryan was made Manager. He was appointed because of his ability. Tom says, :'There can't be anything without co- operation from all, and we depend on each other: everybody has a job that must be done,'. The list of members follows.

To help develop these traits, the members are given such as- signments as ushering at assemblies, at open house, at the class plays and at commence- ment. In the twenty-one years that this chap- ter has had its charter, many men and women have taken their positions in the world, better citizens, because of their association with the society. The charter of the South Hills Honor So- oiety was granted in April of 1929. Mr. Glaser was appointed its first sponsor and served in this capacity until T938 He was succeeded by Mr. Burns, and then in l942. Nlr. Mc- Cready took over the sponsorship. This year, the position was given to Mr. Mack in view of Mr. MeCready's anticipated retirement. Our chapter of the National Honor Society has the privilege of bearing the name of its Hrst spon- sor, Mr. Fred TV. Glaser. To become a member of the National Honor Society the student must have not only a high scholastic average, but be a person with an outstanding character, possess leadership and grant service. The membership is re- stricted to the Seniors and the llA's. A mem- ber ol the faculty Hrst recommends a qualified student and the recommendation is then voted upon by a committee ol' teachers. On accept- ance into the society the members must be in- itiated. This is done in an impressive candle- light service, at which the students take the National Honor Society oath.

But, dear friends. you can hear such music any day if you pass ll-O8 during the fourth period. Choir B is always kept busy prepar- ing for a co,ncert. They have participated in the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas pro- grams and in two other school assemblies. This is Pittsburgh ln Musica, was presented early in the hrst semester by a combination of all the choirs. The Spring Concert was pre- sented in late April and for the first time this year the choir was dressed in formals. In addition to these afore mentioned public appearances, the choir was asked to be one of the groups to sing in a concert given at Car- negie hfusic Hall on hfay 4. This group was composed of all the girl choirs in the city high schools. The director. Mr. Ralph Crawford, has done fine work to place this choir in the spotlight. During the first semester the choir was too busy to elect officers. But in the second semes- ter one of their first tasks was to organize and elect officers. Those elected were: Marilyn Ott, Presidentg Mary ,Io Irwin, Vice President, Mary Ann Calterone, Secretary-Treasurer. Another activity of the choir, which is sel- dom publicized, is the solo routine. These solos are held every two weeks and everyone is required 'to participate. Mr. Crawford has developed this idea in all of his classes. His aim is to help the girls gain self-confidence, poise, and improve their singing ability. !,,,v ' 4 'D BOYS GLEE CLUB Among the most active of the organizations of South Hills High School is the Boys' Glce Club. The Boys' Clee Club meets weekly on Tues- day in the club period. In this period they sing popular, semi-classical, religious, and west- ern music. Most of their work is done in four part harmony. Aside from the regular weekly work the Boys' Clee Club has taken important parts in several wonderful programs. In the fall of 1949 the Boys' Glee Club participated in the :'Pittsburgh in Music show for Education VVeek. They assisted in the MChristmas Cantatai' in December. The Boys' Glee Club had a fine part in the lNIid-Century Revuef' In this great show in the spring of l95O, the Glee Club members made up the western scene in which they sang a western song. They also sang in the Spring Concert. In this program Choir A, Choir B, and the Boys' Glec Club were included. Everyone must agree that the Boys' Glee Club under the leadership of Ralph W. Craw- ford is a great asset to South Hills High School. PITTSBURGH IN MUSIC 'This is Pittsburgh in Music was pre- sented at the assembly of November 7. It rc-lated the history of Pittsburgh, both by narra- tion and music. Olga Kril and Roger Neu- bauer were the narrators. After narration by the speakers, the musical groups sang ap- propriate music to depict an era in Pittsburgh. The groups that took part were the Or- chestra, Choir B, Boys' Glee Club and Choir A. The three singing groups combined, sang i'The Italian Street Songu. S'The Battle I-Iyrnn of the Republicn, and 'tSchnitzelbank. The boys sang a barber-shop arrangement of i'You Tell Me Your Deamf' The Choir B rendered an old Negro spiritual, 'gNobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen. Much of the credit for the successful as- sembly belongs to hliss Price for supervising the speakers, Mr. Crawford, who directed the choral groups, and Mr. Irinkenheimer. who directed the orchestra.

Under the capable leader- ship of hir, Raymond Linkenheimer, this group has risen to spectacular heights. It is by far the number one orchestra of the city schools. Proof of its ability is shown to us in its fine work in our assemblies, and who will ever forget the fine job it did in the Mid-Century Revue. This was a perfect example of the say- ing, practice makes perfectf' The orchestra worked many hours for this show and deserves much credit. This year many of the orchestra members participated in the All-City Orchestra. In fact our school had the largest showing of any other group. Two members of this organization, who are graduating now ,will be remembered for their fine work for a long time after they are gone. The morning concerts of Edward Biehl and Elvira Towns will long be remembered as a bright spot in the day's school program. VVQ are grateful to them for the wonderful music they played for us before school as well as for the fine touch they gave to the orchestra in assemblies. ff rg, f c m I 'xlff w If-x.

This year, especially, it succeeded in becoming one of the top bands in the city. The band played at the Soldiers and Sailors lylemorial Hall this year for the Teachers' In- stitute. The band 'was well received. There were many other things which filled the bandis busy schedule. Who ever will forget our bandls dendition of the i'Alma Matern at the football games? Who will forget the rousing music played both on the field and in the stands? There was also some drilling to be done, for our band marched in the annual Memorizil Day Parade. What a fine example of our school standards this band presents. Many of the band members participated in the HAH-City Band. As in the All-City Or- chestra, our band provided more members than any other school. Last but not least, who will forget this year's band concert. This was not only presented in our school, but also in Prospect and Knoxville Junior High Schools. The program, in the form of a tour around the world consisted of these five selections. 'LMarch of the Brave , 'iScotch Fantasian, Famous Waldteufel Walt- zes , 'gLady of Spainw, 'gBrazil,', 'LThe Little Rhapsody in Blueu, and last of all, Brass Band Boogie. Under the direction of lVIr. Raymond Link- cnheimer the band has done a line job.

Not many realize how hard it is lor ll team to come back with the same valiant deter- mination to win week after week. The members of our South Hills High School squad traveled the Hroad of hard knocks in l949, and each member of the team emerged from the season a better man than when he entered. True, this team failed in one respect, but it found success in many others. It found success in the building of one's character and preparing one for the uneasy road of life which lies ahead. It developed in each player a determination to Fight against overwhelming odds and IiOt lose an ounce of self-respect in defeat, and, above all, it taught them to always play the game lair, no matter into what ngamei' they enter. South Hills did prove they were not the poorest team in the city league, as they de- feated Allderdiee by the score of 20-6. Wade, Patterson and Limbruner scored touchdowns on runs of eighty yards, two yards, and seventy yards respectively. ln the eyes of the team and those who un- derstand the adverse conditions, this season wasnlt a failure but somewhat of a great sue- cess.

Sharp-shooting .lim Abbott paved the 'way with his fine offensive and defensive play. South Hills first proved they could hold their own in WPIAL Competition as they de- feated Dormont and Baldwin, after losing to Atnbridge. Then it was proven that South Hills was once again, the leader in Section H as they defeated all Section Il opponents. Allegheny, Carrick, and Oliver were the big- gest victories in the first-half play. Wade and Schwartz were also big guns in both shooting and guarding. in the second half of league play. South Hills found the going tougher, as they lost to Allegheny and just squeeked past the Oliver quintet. This set the stage for the championship game at Pitt Stadium, with the Wfestinghouse Bulldogs. South Hills entered the game a definite underdog even though they were de- fending champions. In the first half South Hills held their own, sparked again by little Jimmy Abbott. The score, as the teams went to the dressing room, was 17-14 in favor of Westinghouse. ln the second half the Bulldogs slowly pull- ed away from the hard-fighting Airshatffters. Better rebound work was the main difference. As the fourth quarter got under way, defeat was inevitable. The final score was Westing- house, 37, South Hills, 29. Hats off to a great South Hills team who proved they were champions even in defeat.

These hopes are bolstered by the return of such standout performers as Robert Limbruner and Herman '4Bitsy7' W'ade from the '49 squad. In inter scholastic eompetition, thus far, South Hills has shown the way with decisive victories over Oliver and Langley. The big event for which the squad prepares is the City Championship Meet which is held at Monument Hill, Northside.

South Hills has a South Hills South capable mound corps in Sheetz and Condon, South Hills South while Bill Baird has the catching well-in-hand or, should I say, glove. Mr. Mazeski must build the infield around a holdover, Tom Reardon, who played fine ball in 1949 and who should do better this season. In the outfield, a whole new group must bc picked. The most promising candidates, in early play and practice, have been Diodati, Franceseoni, and Schmidt.

The first day in the girls' gymnasium we learned that the chenille HS is the goal of all girls interested in sports. A chenille 'SSH is given to each girl, earning 350 points in two semesters of school. A Junior chenille HS is given to each girl who earns 350 points in her ninth and tenth grade semesters, and a Senior chenille HS is given to each girl who earns 'DCP S 350 points in her Ilth and 12th grade semes- ters. No girl may be awarded two letters. The points necessary for this chenille letter are acquired by taking part in tournaments held throughout the year. What a large sum 350 points seemed to us then, but at the end of our first two semesters ol school, we were proudly wearing our own chenille letters on new blue sweaters. The first sport of the season, the Volley- ball tournament, brought large groups of an- xious girls to the Girls' Gymnasium. To be eligible for a volleyball team, each girl had to attend three out of four volleyball practices. The gym teachers choose a number of girls, present at these practices, to be captains and they, in turn, picked their teams. There were 150 participants in the Senior Volleyball tournament. The games were played by the process of elimination. The captain of the 'winning team was june RifTle, and the captain ol' the runner-up was joan Pasquini. Two All-Star teams were then chosen. According to the number of games won in the tourna- ment, each team was permitted to select a cer- tain number of girls to participate on an All- Star team. This group of girls then voted for two captains. Three games were played to determine the winning team. june Rittle,s team hnally defeated Mary jane Abbotis team in a very exciting game. No sooner was the volleyball tournament over than we were stepping right into one of the most exciting tournaments held at school. A favorite ol' most sport's-loving girls, the basketball tournament was held during the X9 50 55015 months of November December. In the Senior tournament of llth and l2th grade students, there were 104 articipants. Basketball prac- tices were held after school for four nights. Each girl had to be present three out ol four nights in order to be eligible for a team. The teams were very evenly matched, with a series of many thrilling games as the result. Each team losing two games was eliminated from the tournament. The captain of the winning team 'was Agnes Faust. Elsie Tngrim captained the runner-up team. Two All-Star teams were then chosen, the number of girls being govern- ed by the number of games each team won in the tournament. After a certain number of girls were chosen from each team, the captains were picked. Three games were played to determine the best out of three. The winning captain was Carmclla Preitie. The captain of the runner-up was Agnes Faust. The next tournaments to be played were the Deck Tennis and Badminton tournaments. ul '17 1 in The Sesame Staff sincerely hopes that you have enjoyed our journey with the Magic Shoes.
