T .h e S p e a k e r n At South Huntingdon High Sc E Vi P5 11 W -5 1 E if Q 5 B h ool 'V 'kts Q, Q ff A TN 1 I -' 4, 7 lf- g Xi N 1 l 4 , i LO0Kl G FIIRWAIIID Quiet please! An announcement is being transmitted to every room in the building. Isn't it wonderful-a public address system- woven into the make-up of this book? What a time saver! Those who grasp the messages are the students who will share in its noble achievements. South Huntingdon has come of age. Decades ago, men of vis- ion had laid foundations of great institutions of learning and in- spiration. We find those dreams have come into realization. Our leading men of today are men of vision. In this book, which is not a tome to be stacked in the recesses of the mind, is encompassed only those things that have richly colored the tapestry of events. It is not a delineation of dried facts, but, it is a condensation of the triumphs of the mind and body that have vivified this year. With radio ,becoming more important in education, the public address system has offered the students a wonderful appreciation of its being in the school. Good radio programs awaken students to a movement for better and better interests for them, prove to the lecturers the real prospective value of radio in education, inform the public of the talent that is possessed in our classg and show our patrons how our activities really work in with our classes. We are modernizing, evolutionizing, and revolutionizing, and it is these years that have furnished us with the mental stamina to cope with the serious competition that confronts the thinking man and woman, both. in and out of school. r 95 Standing: V.

Likewise, the staff, as it also must follow this layout, must plan and work intelligently to end up with a successful yearbook. But this program would never have been so, had it not been for the united effort of the leaders and sponsors. Neither can we, the staff memlbers, ever expect to present such a yearbook without the help of our leaders and spon- sors, Miss Bovard, Miss Gaut, and Mr. McPhatter. The result of the careful planning in both cases is of coursema perfect program! -a perfect yearbook! WVOQE Tlllillllllll THE PEAKER 'UIQ alla.: THE PEOPLE THE CLUBS THE ATHLETES The audience who respond to messages sent over the microphone! Cooperation typifies progressive education which proves that there wil. always be the best one yet. Clubs and various organizations have served to broaden the scope of the individual student. Students learn enjoyable and profit- able Ways of using leisure time. South Huntingdon's athletes upheld their ideals of true sportsmanship this year. Stu- dents developed the habit of athletic partici- pation both for its self-development and stu- dent leadership value. 0 F 2 if fl 2 Your school board must consider in all its actions: first, what is best for the pupils and the school, then what it will cost. The consolidation of our schools, transportation of pupils, pur- chasing of books and supplies, repair of old buildings and the erection of new ones, must all be considered in propor- tion to their value to the student and the money available for carrying on the program. You may help carry on this program by your care of school property, your use of the instruction furnished you, your participation in all school activities, and your sportsmanship. I shall name four ways leading to an education: to study and read, to be told, to see, and to hear. Your books and supplies are furnished you by the school board. The teacher is there to ex- plain difficulties and direct you in your studies. To be educated through seeing, one must observe the things nature has given and man has supplied. However THE DIREUTUR PEAK Bryan, Kelly, Alhiiz. Welty, Semenko, Ilhoades, Momyer. it IS impossible to be everywhere and to see everything, therefore we resort to the fourth method f- to hear. The radio is an advantage. The daily swing of current events, changes made on the political map, wars. floods, and subjects of common interest can be heard from all parts of the world by means of the radio. Such news is brought to us from the front line trenches by trained com- mentators. The new modern two-way radio is a part of the equipment in your school and is a forward step in education. It can be used in a number of ways, to carry on conversation between the office and class rooms, to send radio programs out to the rooms, and for use of phonograph records in the class room. A public ad- dress system is connected with this system, which can be used for stage programs or announcements at events. The radio has become one of the most valuable parts of school equipment used in aiding the student in the four ways leading to an education. T H FI F O R 'I' B N I N E O -1 Ar THE PEI EIPAL DELIVER A MESSAGE In this world of many changes we are challenged to produce citizens who will take the greater responsibility of our future generations. The world, being unsettled and disturbed as it is, requires the type of individual who has been trained to adjust his life to inevitable circumstances. Only the best possible prepared person can expect to meet the requirements demanded in the future. So often one tends to disregard the pos- sibilities offered by a true democracy in attaining these goals. In the land of sup- pression where individual liberties are not known the possibility of success is remote, for only those favored few are recognized. Perhaps the greatest prob- lem facing our nation is the problem of securing honest and well-trained leaders for our public offices. These positions generally have been filled in the past with persons who appreciate the com- plexities of life. The complications aris- ing from this need in a growing nation require quality of character and fitness found only in those especially prepared. The foundation of our school program is based on this understanding. D. Bennett McPhatter E N H U N D R E D A N D F O R T Y , fx M Zigi! Aeuiclin Youth To xc 1 , M M Let us through the aid of tele- vision, gaze upon a reproduction of our fe1'.ow-students of tomorrow. We see their images very clearly as they appear on the screen. The high school students of today are now the citizens of tomorrow. They are now considered as cultured persons. They are neat and clean in appearance. They are kind, gracious, and well-mannered, never forgetting to be polite and courteous. Not only do they spealk carefully and correct- ly, but avo' slang and pro ni They wwfijsfwl have a broad knowledge of history and .science. The governments of their country, state, and community profit by their culture. They know and love the best in music, literature and art. The process of becoming cultured is the process of becoming educated. The school is the best place to receive such training. Throughout your school ca- reer you will be helped to continue to grow in culture and refinement if you make the most of the opportunity of- fered. It is clear, therefore, that great responsibilities are to rest upon the oulders of the citizen of to- ll 2,3 Betty J. Davis Ruth M. Eckley Eleanor F.

We teachers are men and women who have watched hundreds of boys and girls like our- selves moving onward and upward each year toward the completion of their high school training. We know if CV' WM Carrol E. Shupe Helen M. Williams D A N D F' O R T Y 1 if if J I ,f Grace D. Mitchell C. A. Taylor the mistakes that high school stu- dents often make in planning their education. We are interested in you a.nd are willing to help if you will give us an opportunity. Probably no- where in the world are boys and girls so fortunate in having an educational ladder provided for them as they are in America. Real guidance does not mean that the teacher is going to make your decisions for you. It means that your teacher is to help you make these decisions for yourself. In order to help you most, we teachers must know you personally and should be your special friend so that you can come at any time for help on any problem. It might be said that you can provide an educational lad- dcr for boys and girls, but you can- not make them climb. But if you are willing to learn from those who act as your guides, you can build up your character and meet success. The first corner stone of success is character We teachers realize now more fully that you need help in building up the right kinds of interests in learning, in forming attitudes and habits, and in controlling your feelings. The peo- ple who help you most are those who tell you where you are wrong. Teach- ers are interested in every individual and his problems. We do not consider you as one does sheep in a, flock or fence posts along the highway. We are anxious to help you solve those pro- blems, and because of our long train- ing and experience, we are just the ones to do so. Teachers are the chan- nels through which God is made real to other people and on our shoulders lies the difficult but highest task of helping children, young people, and adults to live better lives.

LEADER, FUUND Every organization must have its leaders to be any kind of a success. So it is with our school. Our school must have leaders to be successful. These leaders are found in the Student Council. The Student Council is made up of representatives from the various clubs and classes. The members of these clubs and classes choose as council representatives those students in whom they recognize the qualities of leadership. These, in turn, by the training which they receive as mem- bers of the council, and the confidence which the students have shown in them, develop a greater sense of re- sponsibility. E N H U N D R E D I TUDENT COUNCHi The Student Council serves as a training school for leadership. A rep- resentative of a class speaks and acts for his class when he attends a meet- ing of the council. The President of the Student Coun- cil must also be a leader with whom other members will cooperate. He must be conscientious enough to de- sire the best for himself and his schoolmates. He must have intelli- gence to know what is right and good for the school. He must have enough courage to stand by his principles and convictions. I So it may readily be seen that. for the Student Council to be a suc- cess, it must make itself known by a let's go rather than a you go. A N D F O R T Y yurv I Q 1 i Gloria Agatu i , .

T H E F O R T O F N I N E E l0lt LO0K BACK Commencement time! For four years those have been magic words to us. As the very shyest of freshmen we consoled ourselves with the heartening thought that in 1940 we .would be seniors with all of the acquired poise and dignity that comes from four years of high school life. We have reached that goal and are fast approaching graduation. To us, now, this seems a great step forward, a great achievement. Yet, it is not the end but the begin- ning. We shall find it our lot to assume new and greater responsibilities, and as we cope with them, may we remember and profit by the example which our instructors and leaders have, by their patient guidance and management of our affairs, given us here. May the opportunities in the future for each member of our class be as great as that which we have found during the past four years. V Having spent the first year and a half of our high-school career in the Fort Ro- bertson building, we were able to appreciate to a greater degree, the convenient facili- ties afforded us when we came to occupy our present modern, well-planned, well-equip- ped and beautifully yet simply constructed edifice. With the new school came new subjects from which to select our course of study, and also, means for a greater num- ber of extra-curricular activities. Truth of the fact that we have realized our opportunities is evident in the many successful activities which we have sponsored, or in which we have participated. And so, with graduation all our work and play together during these four years at South Huntingdon will become a memory, a cherished memory. As we Worked to- gether in our many enterprises, our common interests and aims, our triumphs and de- feats, we have made many friendships. We leave our dear, old alma mater with sad hearts, for it is like the separation of the members of one happy family. We shall find condolence in our confidence that the high standards of South Huntingdon will be maintained, and that our successors will be capable of partaking of the benefits that we have received here.

You are now on the air juniors. Take it away. Can we, such gay. self-confident young things, actually be the same ones who three years previously en- tered South Huntingdon as shy freshmen '? As freshmen we we1'e so ambitious to gain knowledge that we went to afternoon classes in the morning. Of course the upperclass- 42 Af' men laughed at our stupidity of go- ing into the wrong room at the IIVE E YE JL wrong time. However as soon as these problems were solved we settled down to enjoy life. How time flies! Before we could quite collect our senses. we entered the next year as proud sophomores. No longer outsiders, we participated in the numerous activities offered. We are now aspiring and eager juniors who are proud to occupy the center section in assembly. May we M .fy .

It is com- posed of football players, basketball players, managers and cheerleaders, who were endowed with the varsity athletic insignias as their Alma Ma- ter's tribute to their loyalty. Because of the greater interests in athletic.:-1, the membership of this club is in- creasing each year. The boys look forward to the stern rigors of basket- ball or football for physical fitness, rather than to the use of light-weight dumb-bells. Wearing a varsity insignia is limited to boys who have participated in varsity competition and, with the approval of the coach, have received a reward for it. Managers and cheer- leaders earn their letters when they rczyli, P. Nutter. Silvnsy, ll. Miller. ERME EAR THEIR rv are seniors. Fundamental character- istics which are desirable traits of those boys in the Lettermen's Club vary from ingenuity, sportsmanship, good fellowship, to scholarship and companionship. Versatility certainly typifies these members, for not only are they active on the gridiron, but also in various other school activities. The objectives of the Lettermen's Club are to give the boys an oppor- trinity to appreciate, learn the fun- damentals, and to review current events of the various sports. Although the Lettermen's Club has only been in existence four years at South Huntingdon, its members have accomplished much. Each let- terman's deeds, inspirations, and name shall be a solemn tradition of South Huntingdon Township High School. TH E FORT or NINE Top Row: A. l':iturline, M Oelulli N.

Sometimes when she should be doing that very difficult Latin translation or trying her best to solve a problem in geometry: she is pondering, instead, about what she should wear to the prom, how she should act and what she should say once she gets there. In fact there are so very many things about which she should make proper decisions that her life frequently seems one vast problem. At South Huntingdon we have a club to help that girl solve many of her baffling problems. It is called the What-To-Do-Club . This club exists solely for the purpose of help- ing every high school girl so've her everyday problems in etiquette. Each girl may bring her individual prob- lems to club meeting and have them competently solvedg or she may share her experience and knowledge to help some other girl solve her problems. The meetings are always quite in- formal so that even shy little Mary, who is a freshman, is not afraid to express her honest opinions: nor is proud Susanne, who is a senior, back- ward about admitting that she doesn't know how to properly set the dinner table for guests tomorrow evening. Although the meetings are pur- posely kept informal, there is a great deal of careful planning on the part of the club officers and Miss Frank, the club sponsor, to make the club a worthwhile help in developing high- er standards of conduct for the girls of our school. The What-to-do-Club really does solve problems! E N H U N D R E D A N D F O R T Y llllllllllllllllll J0l Lllllllllll CLlll Hello boys and girls of South Huntingdon!

To keep the library running ef- ficiently they learn how to bind mag- azines, to catalogue and mend books and to make library permits. They fare thus prepared to help the stu- dents in gaining information to fur- ther their knowledge and to make proper use of their leisure time. Those, my friends, are some of the duties of the so-called book- worms. Keep tuned to this station for more library flashes from the book- worms who love books-and people. .. Mzuzlll, M.

A. members, throughout the year, earn money by operating a lunch stand. The money earned is used to cover the expenses of an an- nual vacation for the boys of the club. This year that vacation will be spent at Whipple Dam, near State College. Oh, there will be loads of fun for the boys! hiking, swimming, boating and fishing! The boys will learn that even cooking, cleaning and dishwashing can be fun when there are others to share it with you. While the boys are at camp they will compete in judging contests that are held at State College. They will receive instruction right along with their enjoyment - instruction they will never forget because it will be associated always with pleasant mem- ories. If only all education could be obtained in such pleasant surround- ings! Vacation time will end! Then back these boys will come next fall, filled with enthusiasm for their work in agriculture classes and their ac- tivities as Future Farmers of Amer- ica.

The purpose of the club is observation and study of wild plant and animal life. The headquarters are room 201 and the teacher in charge is Miss Miller. The club meets only once a month- much too seldom for its interested members. When the weather is nice the members usually go outdoors to study animals and plants. One of the im- portant things done by the club was the building of bird feeders. Some of the boys in the club, who are taking agriculture, built a spike pole feeder and placed it back of the football field. When a heayy snow came, ears of corn were placed on it for the pur- pose of attracting game birds s ch as .Ll pheasant and quail. Also a sma.l feeding station was established at the rear window of room 201 by plac- ing bread crumbs and bits of food on the window still. It attracted small birds, especially sparrows. On days when the weather was unfit to go outside, the club had in- teresting indoor meetings and plan- ned future activities. The microscope was used to study protozoa that were grown in the laboratory. A nature test published in the Coronet mag- azine was taken. Pictures of birds were identified by using the projec- tion machine. One aim of the club is the con- tinuance of the members' interest in natural subjects during the sum xlner and the years to come.

E N H U N D R E D A N D EGEES FUTURE IlIlillA'l'IS'I'S FUR DRAM CL ll Raymond Massey and Katherine Cornell eagerly apply make-up for their character leads in the biggest play of the year! In reality Robert and Katherine are John Jones and Mary Smith and the 'lbiggcst play is only a playette for a Dramatic Club program. But who knows what potential talent exists within this caier boy and girl preparing to ap- pear on our high school ,stage for the first time! The Dramatic Club, sponsored by Miss Bryan, is organized to help cul- tivate latent dramatic talent that South Huntingdon students may po- sess. In club meetings students study the art of make-up, the presentatidn of pantomimes and pageants, matic readings and plays. ml bei-5 are given the opaoP f b tain'ng actual experience in dramatic work. The club presents short plays and programs at its own meetings and sometimes gives an assembly program before the entire student body. The experience is invaluable tc those students who participate in these programs. No wonder this boy and girl are eager to take part in this perfor- mance! They know that Dramatic Club, aside from being a great deal of fun today, is going to be a benefit to them in future life. Not all the members will become Cornells oz Masseys, but even those who never have a career in drama receive a certain amount of poise and dignity from experience in Dramatic club performances.

This committee, organized four years ago, stands to be one of the most impor- tant organizations of the school. It is composed of six members, which includes the coach of athletics, the school principal, one school director, the faculty manager of athletics, the school doctor, and a parent of a pupil enrolled in the high school. When the school board meets in August, the school director is chos- en. An election for president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer is held every year. This council is to act as an ad- viser in regard to the program of athletic activities. General super- GET TUGETIIER vision of interscholastic athletics. football, basketball, and baseball is undertaken by this committee. An attractive schedule is drawn up, offi- cials are secured, transportation pro- vided, purchase of new football and basketball equipment, and all home games supervised. A standard is set on which to base letter awards and to help stimulate interest in athletics, both in and outside of school. All this it has done remarkably well. Annually, this task, which presents many problems, is met and success- fully worked out by the Athletic Council. We expect to find the work, which has in the past been so splen- didly carried out by the Athletic Council, to be continued in the fu- ture. 'I' H l-I F O R T O F 'V I N P Shupu, WH-lty, lim-ll?-i'Ii l ti ll lhzitter, V:imIei'sc nlunlno nov i The bare recital of the number of games won conveys no impression of the real drama that developed as the season progressed. The South Huntingdon varsity eleven stamped- ed through one of its most success- ful seasons to win ten straight games. Two hundred and twenty-two points were chalked up by South Hunting- don as against forty-three made by opponents. The season was opened by a night game, during which the Golden Eagles outscored Mount Pleasant in a rather shaky debut, South Hunt- ingdon emerged the victor when Paterline scored during the last two minutes of play-6 to 0. Next came South Fayette, our first home rival whom we defeated 14-12 .... Belle Vernon, our third opponent was very easily outplayed: 33-0. Then came our second home game and the gang went to town, South Huntingdon 27, West Newton 0. South Huntingdon then invaded East Huntingdon but the latter was turned back 32 to 6. The tables were turned on Trafford this year by a score of 14-0. Our seventh game and third at home found us hammering away at Ford City, a Class A school. They were ll' C a shown some real football playing by the Eaglesg 14-6. The next was to be a tough game for us, but still not checked, South Huntingdon 7, Marion 0. Again playing at home, Rostraver was our next victim, 34-6. North Belle Vernon, our fifth home game was beaten easily 41-13. During a post-season tilt, while trying to win the Championship in the Mononga- hela Valley Conference, we suffered our only defeat: Centerville 39, South Huntingdon 0. 'We were awarded three trophies due to South Huntingdon's undefeat- ed football season .... the first witnessed in the history of the school. Two were for winning the Westmore- land County Class B Championship, one of which is circulated by St. Vin- cent Collegeg and the third was for high ranking in the Eastern Division of the Little Monongahela Valley Conference. The winning of the Class B tro- phies was accomplished largely by the cooperation of the team, the willingness to play their best at all times, the wonderful display of sportsmanship, plus the ability to play the game.

His brother Laird, considered one of the best guards ever to be in South Huntingdon, will certainly be missed next year. Robert Miller, a clever tackle, whose spirit and fight will a.ways remain in him, will not be with us this fall. We regret to say that Steve Ruschak. tackle, will not be with us in the fall. We must also remember, because of their loy- alty to the team, Joe Hakala, end, and John Crilley, fullback. Last but not least, we have space for Manager Walter Stangry, who was always on the job.

In football our school was very well represented on both teams and the honorable mention list of the All County Team. On the first team: Clifford Silvasy at halfback, Steve Ruschak at tackle, Lotsie Hyrczyk at end, and Paul Nutter at guard. On the second team: Donald Corwin at end, Laird Silvasy at guard, and Melvin Odelli at fullback. The hon- orable mention list included Audley Paterline, Charles Koricich, Norman Yannacci, and Dennis Cochenour. Great credit for the impressive work on the gridiron this year must go to Coach Hefferle, and to his new able assistant, Herbert Barron. T H E F O R T O F N I N E T ff , , fl' R. .

True, there is an element of drudgery in the everyday routine of class attendance: eight o'clocks, per- iodic quizzes, and final grade sheets. But life within the portals of South Huntingdon is richly spiced with di- versions. No one entering South Hunting- don is bound by rules which dictate his dress, his conduct, his athletic selections, or even his social pur- suits. The roar of the gymnasium crowds, the songs and cheers .... the basketball season is in full sway with thrilling hardwood battles. The Alumnus comes back on Homecoming Day to look upon the old stamping grounds of his youth. Those were the good old days! Would that he could live the life at S. H. T. H. S. over again! High school life never becomes stagnantg it vitalizes ever-changing activity. This is accomplished largely through sports, one of which is bas- ketball. Basketball, a hard, fast, and keenly competitive sport, fortunately is given the chance to grow in this county comparable to other sports. Basketball is announced at the end of the football season, and after twelve to fourteen weeks of games, the county tournament is held. This more or less insures that the best team will win and that no lucky breaks will put one of the inferior teams on top. Basketball games are designed to quicken the thought pro- cesses, strengthen the muscles and develop a competitive spirit. This helps to keep the athlete's day full and rounded and to some degree en- joyable. It is, of course, also design- ed to give all of the problems, plays, skilb, and thrills of football in a faster, shorter game. Its speed and shortness makes it an ideal game for the school gym. Perhaps our basketball team did not register wins on many occasions, but every member of the team deserves credit for his contribution to the games of real basketball which we were privileged to Witness. This year Coach Hefferle endeavored to build up a team of underclassmen so that during the next few years a well trained team will represent South Huntingdon. AS a whole, the team played some very exciting games this win- ter and although quite often the games ended with an edge over South Huntingdon we can't complain too loudly. For our place in the W. P. I. A. L. this year we traveled a long way down the line from the crest reached last year. Nevertheless, the practice this year will give the boys more confi- dence for later encounters, and we know that you can't keep a good team down for long.

Since the instructress, Miss Eck- ley, has introduced the new tap danc- ing stepsf members of the club are on their toes! Four girls of the club proved to bc so adaptive in this line of dancing that they gave a perfor- mance of their ability in an assembly program, making quite a hit with the students! Another group of girls presented the waltz, the basic' step of most dances. Because of the limited spzxce, the club was restricted to thirty mem- bers. The girls, realizing dancing to bc a source of keen enjoyment, made their presence known. lFirst come. first servedl. This accounts for the absence of the boys. Although the club meet.s only once a month. much advancement has been made. Not only modern danc- ing but folk dancing is taught. Fa- mous dancers have become great only after many years of the most ar- duous training, and here in dancing club we receive the beginnings of this training.

HTHE GHEE LlGlI'l ' On November 17, the senior class presented a mystery thriller entitled the Green Light . The play dealt with a bandit, known as the Green Light , who was terrifying the rail- road station of Shoulder Junction. Who would have dreamed that Tim Daniels played by Robert Miller was the Green Light ! He certainly kept the employees of the railroad in a panic. John Minoski, as Philip Man- ning, was the superintendent of the railroad. His niece, Hope Manning, played by Jennie Ciara, was an a- gent on the night trick. Among the other employees were John Pittavino, as Bill Dolan, and Lynn Hepler as Buck. To aidd to the distresses, Bill Do- lan was shot. Jean Horne, as Belle Dolan, could have moved a heart of stone when she so brokenly wept ov- er her husband's death. We had to look twice before we recognized Eliz- abeth Fabean in her short dress and bows. She had the role of Letty, the young daughter of Belle. Harry Kreu- ter, a.s Jimmy Vallon, tracked the Green Light down. Bettie Scholl, as Mrs. Carruth- ers, was a very insistent gold dig- ger . Jack Redleski as Rusty, was glad to see the last of her. To re- lieve the suspense and mystery, Soapy, played by Steve Gelet, added a touch of comedy. We can't forget another member of the cast-Dorsie Willard, as Bridget, the owner of the restaurant. The play was well accepted and a great deal of credit is due to Miss Gaut and Miss Bovard whose capable direction helped to make it a success.

The young professor is South Huntingdon's own Elwood Pegorie. The favorite pastime of Grand- pa Perry, Joe Ferno, and the butler, Jerry Kasprisin, is the solving of crossword puzzles. Grandma Perry's main worry is to see that her grand- son wears his overshoes. Fussy lit- tle Grandma is really Doris Show. Keats' best friend, John Appleby, is better known at South Hunting- don as Gilbert Ridenour. Vicky Ran- dolph is our lovely Sara Yuksic. The three young ladies who may possibly marry the professor cer- tainly present a variety. John's sweet secretary, Priscilla Morely is known by all as Henrietta Greene. Our -own Mary Mason becomes Tootsie Bean, who is noted for her lemon chiffon pies. Valorie Whitman, a heartless flirt, turns out to be Harriet Bosetti. Butcher Boy Bean-none other than Steve Ruschak-has the Profes- sor on a chair when suddenly Lulu with their three children arrives and claims she is Keats' wife. Lulu is on- ly John while the three children are Betty Suter, Marian Hammers and Anne Hazy. John and Priscilla discover that the Boss can marry his secretary, while Boggins decides to live on Toot- sie's delightful cooking forever. Af- ter all that work and trouble the Professor chooses his own wife - Vicky Randolph. Under the splendid supervision of Miss Martin and Miss Bryan plus some hard work on the part of the cast the play was a splendid success. f7'f5 ' E W H U N D R E D A N D F O R T Y 'PAH LA'I'0Ii What causes the worried look on the face of our very efficient Edgar Brea? Maybe it's a girlg who knows. it could be! Possible but not probable. tlon't you think? NVell getting back to the subject, Edgar isn't the ony one who may ii: seen with a perplexed expression on his face. There are the treasurers from the other classes and clubs who have just about the same responsibil- ity only on not quite as large a scale. We. also, have to contend with the ever watchful eyes of Miss Gaut, su- pervisor of this work. However we must express our utmost appreciation to the treasure-rs, especially Edgar, for the wonderful work which they have done. Edgar never gets through an interrupted fifth period. If he isn't in his home room, you may rest as- surd that someone is looking for him. Have you seen Edgar Brea?

These are some of the questions that usual- ly confront anyone seen in the halls. Now perhaps you're wondering how the treasurers are elected to their offices. From each class and club a student treasurer is elected by popular vote. He then receives a notebook in which a record is kept of a1L receipts and expenditures. At the end of each day all the money received Ls turned over to the school treasurer which is in turn deposited in the bank. If any money is needed by the organization, a check is writ- ten out and signed by the school treasurer and the principal. Serving as a school treasurer is marvelous work for any student: for who knows, some day we may really be Htabulators of finance ! 'I' l l E F O R T O F N I N F gL,,,,.. .of- pg . MMPY ITAPEIL ....

It's the tough old task that brings keen sense of worth and power to the man who wins the fightg his failures test his courage and his problems prove his might. Until a man has conquered loss and overcome defeat he cannot fully understand just why success is so sweet. I'm thankful for my disappointments, for the battles lost, and for mistakes that seem to charge an overwhelming cost: I'm thankful for the days of doulbt, when it was hard to see that all things work together for the good that is to be: I'm glad for all that life has brought, because today I know that men must brave adversities if they would greater grow.
