In the world today we witness a terrific struggle being waged between two opposing philosophies of government-communism, as characterized by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and democracy, as characterized by the United States of America. We are deeply concerned for the outcome of the contest. It is with deep regret that in the past years there has been an appalling apathy among eligible voters in our country for their responsibilities and duties as American citizens. This indifference on the part of our citizens has resulted not only in corruption and inefficiency in our democratic form of government, but it has enabled certain opportunist individuals to capitalize on these con- ditions and to spread their pernicious principles of government among our citizens. When our forefathers established the American form of de- mocracy, they recognized that only through the development and maintenance of a thorough system of free public schools could that form of government which they had established be made to func- tion in the manner which they had envisaged. It follows then that the graduating class of 1952, and all the graduates before and those to follow, who represent the highest level of development of that public school system, have a definite responsibility to use the skills, the knowledge, the ideals which have been attained through a high school education not only to make a living but also for the service and improvement of that government. If the people are to remain the sovereign power, if the will of the people is to be the law of the land, if an act of the government is to be an act of the people, then it is absolutely essential that graduates be concerned about and show a willingness to partici- pate actively in the responsibilities of American citizenship. To do so will truly substantiate One Hundred Years of Progress.

The editors, the photographers, the writers, the researchers, the artists, the typists-all are indispensable to the success of the book. The advice and cooperation of the faculty, administration, and various school activities also have a direct bearing on the final result. Chance, too, plays its part-the chance of having a photographer on hand when some unexpected event occurs, the chance of finding a specific person for a specific job. I IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS it is the students, the vast majority who read the book and pass judgment upon it, who make a success of the 1952 EAGLE. ISI IN THIS ISSUE . . . I ADMINISTRATION C FACULTY I CLASSES C ACTIVITIES Q ATHLETICS I HISTORY IAPEPE DAN Due to the faith, optimism, and hard work of its leaders, South Union Township of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, has rap- idly expanded into one of the leading townships in the Commonwealth. Along with this growth of the township has been the development and progress of our schools. Since the time of the first School Board meeting on May 15, 1852, to thr- present time. the educational facilities of South Union Township have been con- stantly improved. In this book we have tried to acquaint the student body of today with the achieve- ments of the past, with the moments of glory and with the traditions of S. U. H. S. In this year of our one hundredth anni- versary of organized education in South Union Township, we are proud of the progress that has been achieved. We are proud to dedicate this issue of the EAGLE to those who contributed to this progress. IOOH1 ANNIVER ARY GUY M. CLARK Supervising Principal C. W. FRANKHOUSER High School Principal X Administration South Union's administration may be divided into three divisions: the South Union Board of Education and the offices of Super- vising Principal and High School Principal. Each school must have a Board of Educa- tion to select teachers, handle finances, pur- chase school supplies, and maintain the school buildings. To solve these many prob- lems, the public elects seven men, who re- ceive no salary for their services, for a period of six years. Although it meets once a month, the board is subject to call of the chair if a special meeting is deemed necessary. All members devote their free time willingly and sincerely try to conduct all business in such a way as to benefit the greatest number of people. We sincerely hope that the future Boards of Education will do as great a job as the ones in the past. Mr. Clark, one of the most progressive and understanding Supervising Principals of South Union School District, has devoted his time and untiring efforts for over four decades, to II Board Of Education Seated, left to right: GEORGE E. PIKE IOHN F. PETISH IOHN D. LIVINGSTON WILLIAM G. HOAK Standing: C. W. FRANKHOUSER High School Principal RAYMOND E. WEAVER W. EDMUND BIERER FRED M. BARTOCK, IR. GUY M. CLARK Supervising Principal direct the educational activities of the public schools in South Union. He has consecrated the greater part of his life to the South Union Township Schools where he has earned the respect of everyone. Not to be forgotten is our High School Principal, Mr. Frankhouser, who has always shown great interest in the problems of all the students. Everyone may profit by his example of good leadership and fairness and he is always ready to give advice and guid- ance to anyone who needs it. Despite being plagued by thousands of questions and hundreds of students, our ad- ministrative heads have proved themselves xnxx, x REV worthy of our admiration and respect. Re- ceiving the same consideration as they have shown us, South Union's students will con- tinue to rank as one of the finest groups in our state. The manifold secretarial duties connected with the operation of the school are taken care of by Edna Mae Curstead and Mary Lee Gray. Mr. Clark's competent secretary, Miss Curstead, handles the administrative duties and is also secretary to the Board of Educa- tion. Miss Gray takes care of the stenographic work in Mr. Frankhouser's office. These sec- retaries efficiently carry out the many tasks and problems which befall in their capacity.

KERN, School Nurse A Healthy Body The following people will please report to the nurse's office for their examination, attracted the attention of freshmen and juniors scheduled for the annual physical and dental examinations. Physical and dental examinations are given each year to freshmen and juniors as well as to the first, third, fifth, and seventh graders in the township. Also, the Tuberculosis So- ciety X-rays all students each year. Miss Alma L. Kern, our school nurse, guards the students' health all year round. She also takes care of any emergencies or accidents which might occur. In addition, she assists with the tuberculin inoculations and X-rays, makes follow-up visits to homes, di- rects the medical and dental check-ups, and assists in various other ways which lead to- ward a healthier and more sanitary school system. The measles epidemic that hit the high school students this year kept the trail to the Health Room busy. FRIENDS THAT KEEP US IN TUNE AND IN LINE Perfect Attendance Mr. Ralph Patterson, our attendance offi- cer, has his own definite ideas about attend- ance, and his aim is to have these ideas car- ried out. We're not saying that Mr. Patterson is tough, but one visit with him is usually all that is necessary to steer one away from truancy. Although he is kind and considerate of all students that he deals with, our attendance officer is not lenient in giving punishment where it is due. Mr. Patterson is an excellent judge of human behavior, and little escapes his eyes and ears as he fulfills his duties as our attendance officer. fl RALPH PATTERSON, Attendance Officer Teachers enjoy the noon hour, too. A variety of subjects are offered to stu-i dents attending South Union High School. The college preparatory course is recom- mended for those who intend to further their education at college. A curricular of science, mathematics, and languages, in addition to the social science studies are offered in the college preparatory course. Preparing students for the business world is the purpose of the commercial course. Shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping are a few of the classes which future office workers attend. Only the bare minimum of subjects are outlined for the general course. Leeway is provided for the students to select any of the subjects included in either the college pre- paratory or commercial courses. In looking over the faculty of our high school that so ably present the subjects to our student body, we can feel free to say the teachers up here on the hill are the best. Our first impression of the faculty was one of complete bewilderment, for quite contrary to students' reports, we found the teachers know how to smile. We were even more amazed to find most of the students actually enjoying the classes. In addition to teaching classes, our instructors sponsor clubs and work on committees. The words of encour- agement they offer, the guidance they so generously give, help make our high school the happy place it is. The following faculty members are now serving with the Armed Forces: John R. Carbin, Park R. Glass, and Robert J. Mouser. We wonder if it is good or bud news that seems Mr. Gloss receives lust minute advice before leaving so interesting. for the service. ,. L. N- UNION VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Z : Ja- I. VERNON CRAWFORD Director 'LGS-.. Training for Life In the early part of 1946, the school dis- tricts of South Union Township, North Union Township. and Uniontown formed a come bined board of the School Principals under the guidance of our County Superintendent of Schools. Harry Brownfield. A new build- ing built at Baily Park by the National Youth Administration was procured from the city of Uniontown. A cursory survey was made and the occupational needs of the area were de- termined. Courses were established in ma- chine shop and auto mechanics shop to train students to meet the needs of the Vocational opportunities available in our area. In Sep- tember 1947 a vocational class of agriculture was added, and in November 1947 the Mine Maintenance course was added. Students are selected from each of the three high schools according to enrollments and their grades. At vocational school, stu- dents go to academic classes for a week and then receive a week's instruction in the shop. A Vocational High School graduate re- ceives his diploma plus a vocational certifi- cate. He is then prepared to earn a living in his chosen field.

Iris Linn Fike, formerly from South Union, is the instructor. This Beauty Culture School, located in the Ella Peach School Building, has natural wood panel walls and chrome plated blue leather chairs, and the school set-up is the most modern in this part of the state. I From senior to freshman, alumni to the oncoming classes, the name South Union has had a hopeful, wistful meaning. South Union may be proud of her student body, because it was they who made the school and put life into her corridors. From the first grad- uating class to the present day, South Union has gained distinction from her students. We can't picture the first scholars, but we can those of 1952, so--look ahead . .

Freshmen look forward to three more years of high school O O O O IUNIORS The Junior Class is always the luckiest class in school. They have passed the awk- ward adjustments of the sophomore year and still have the pleasures of the senior year to look forward to. The class of 1952 took full advantage of its fortunate circumstances. They elected their officers early and settled down to being juniors. The class was well represented in all acti- vities and sportsg they worked hard and played hardg and now they look forward eagerly to being seniors. SOPHOMORES Meet the class of 1954. After two years of high school life, all the sophomore eyes are focused on the time when they will become jolly juniors. After their year of adjustment and observ- ance as freshmen, the sophomores were all- out to prove they had the ability and know- how to do things. The class of '54 has shown that in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the school activities, they are ready to take their place as next year's juniors. FRESHMEN Are you looking for pep? Ask the fresh- men. They've got it. Do you want a lively crowd at your party? Invite the freshmen, they'll brighten things up. Outstanding this year was the way the l43l cry, Out of my way, Greenie! faded away in a genuine admiration of the talents and achievements of the Freshman Class. With the success of their first year in high school, the Freshman Class faces the prospect of three of the best years in South Union High School's history. U JUYIIOYS . . .

Il x N., - r ' b I f i The earbook The EAGLE staff is proud of its achieve- ments. This year the staff has produced an improved and more exciting yearbook for your satisfaction by instituting several new features. including anniversary pictures, and a different style of cover. We hope you en- joy looking at those old-time pictures. The gold cover with the blue was chosen in order to commemorate South Unions 100th anni- versary. Planning this yearbook was both a pleasure and a challenge. Publication of the EAGLE was not without difficulties and long hours of work. Many pictures had to be identified. And oh. that writing and rewriting to tailor all the writing to fit into carefully measured spaces! The sports writers had their troubles too, with scores, records, and photograph identifications. These are the mechanics of putting a yearbook together- not all play. of course. but it was fun. Here, then, is the 1952 EAGLE--the work of one year-the result of cooperation from staff members, photographers, printer and engraver. and the tireless guidance of our adviser, Mr. Cupelli. The staff has endeav- ored to produce a yearbook of outstanding quality and is proud to present this book to the student body, to the faculty, to the alumni, and to friends for their enjoyment.

At the be- ginning of the school term Miss Lucia, the sponsor, and Harold Dean, the editor, selected a group of students who formed the staff. t'Truth Told Simply is the motto of the paper. Records of sports events, social notes, ro- mances, and gossip were written that will recall memories in years to come. We hope that our efforts will have been to some avail and that you enjoyed reading the paper as we have enjoyed working on it. i59l In this day and age of airplanes, one might judge that there would be a large group of boys interested in model airplanes. Since this organization is the baby of the year. we shall blame the tiny club on age alone. At least we can say they are a selective group. Several indoor demonstrations have been given during the winter non-flying season. and many extensive operations are being planned for the summer. No doubt we shall hear more of the work of these boys. under the guidance of Mr. Bryan. as the days go by. Watch for them! l i BAND O O O STOP - LOOK - LISTEN .

Band members had weeks of long, hard re- hearsals, every member putting everything he had into it. But the result was well worth it. During the last performance of the concert, every year, the seniors are presented with band pins. The junior Band, composed of grade school students, has taken part in the concert for three years. Although handicapped be- BAND-1951-1952 cause of lack of time for i'ehem'sals, they have shown great improvement from previous years. Each year our school is represented by outstanding members of the hand in the All- County Band. Ten students participated in it this year. Mr. Crossland, our very capable instru- mental director, deserves much credit for all he has done, and shall continue to do, for the Music Department.

CHORUS I As one walks through the halls of our Alma Mater during the afternoon, the pleasing voices of our choruses are heard coming from the auditorium. This year the chorus differs in many ways from those of previous years. It is divided into two groups. One, being Chorus I, consists only of girls' voices from the freshman class, learning the fundamentals of music. tone quality, and the proper use of the voice. The other, a Mixed Chorus. combined with the voices of both boys and girls of the upper classes. To demon- strate their talents, these musically inclined students have been granted a rehearsal period each day. The Mixed Chorus displayed their talents in school events and public performances. Their efforts were greatly appreciated by those who heard them at the teachers' institute. The major activity of the Mixed Chorus this year was the annual Christmas Cantata. With precision in rhythm, quality in tone, they again impressed us with their last performance. the f'Spring Concert. They have started a fund for robesg let's hope that next year's chorus keeps it up.

Yes, sir, this energetic group of cheerleaders is always on its toes carrying on the school spirit. They can be found hard at work practically every night after school perfecting their cheers. All these girls deserve congratulations for the effort they put forth throughout the year. Many thanks to Miss Curstead for providing trans- portation and Mrs. Howard, who coached them. MAIORETTES Batons glistening, heads erect, the high- stepping majorettes of South Union catch admiring glances from all who see them. Although this was the first year for all seven of them, they worked continuously to make it the snappy marching unit that it now is. They were chosen for their twirling, march- ing, general appearance, and scholastic stand- ing. Parades, football games, and pep meet- ings found them always ready and willing to contribute their fine performances.

The annual Christmas Cantata was held December 19. 1951, in the high school audi- torium. The dramatics director. Irene D. Howard. assisted by the student director, Jean Ann Black, did an excellent job in- structing the tableau. James F. Crossland conducted the chorus. The piano accom- panist was Ida Mae Nixon. Theodore J. Zajac and his assistants. Victor Colbert. Jerome Glad. Laverne Heddleston, and Charles Snyder. developed one of the best stage settings, as a background. that we have ever seen. The story of the birth of Christ was force- fully presented. It began by narrating the journey of joseph and Mary to the Bethle- hem Inn. The refusal at the inn: the humble birth of our Lord in the stableg and the ac- ceptance of the Christ Child shown by 'tht- many gifts from people in all walks of life was dramatically portrayed. The tableau, chorus. and scenery workers extend their very best wishes to the future members of the Christmas Cantata for suc- cess in their endeavors. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

Howard, they always strive to make each minstrel a great success. The minstrel is sponsored by the Industrial Arts Depart- ment to raise money for use in the opera- tion of the shop. Sounds of Hey, Good Looking g Ida : and Ballin' the Jack came drifting into our classrooms for a good part of the winter as the chorus practiced for the minstrel. Later in the season, work was begun on minstrel dialogue to really pep up the production. Any sophomore, junior, and senior may participate in this annual event. Everyone worked hard this year to achieve what sup- port and effort he could to make it a success. The important positions and the persons holding those positions were: Interlocutor. Al Goodwin, Master of Ceremonies, Dave Novakg and the premier endmen, Tom Frank- houser and Edward Dugan. Mr. Cairns' idea of the flag, painted by Al Goodwin, and the singing of hymns, was the most outstanding event of the minstrel. We want to give credit to the stage-hands who worked hard to beautify the stage with series of lights, and to the chorus who sat tirelessly in their seats through the entire show.

Look over these 50 girls who are about to assume the role of business girls in our community. For three years, they have struggled with keyboards, codes, and rows of figures. Their chief job has been to prove to Mrs. Carte, Miss Lucia, and Mr. Cupelli that they are really good enough for the role of young business girls. The purpose of the Flying Fingers Com- mercial Club has been to develop an under- standing of the social and economic situations in the business world and to provide a whole- some diversion for commercial students. The officers are: President, Shirley Hoch: Vice President, Connie Sislerg Secretary, Rose- mary Cerulg Treasurer, Shirley Miller.

The South Union Square Dance Club, or- ganized in 1949-50, continues to be one of the outstanding social groups of our school. and this year it boasts a membership of 209. In addition to the Harvest Hoe Down. the club held a Leap Year Box Social on Feb- ruar 26. This was the 'third annual free dance for all members and their invited guests. In keeping with the tradition, each girl asked the boy of her choice for the dance before intermission. The same couples then shared a delicious lunch when the girls opened the many beautifully decorated boxes. In addition to the Christmas project, the club, under the supervision of John J. Cairns, co-chairman. renovated the Honor Roll on the school campus. OFFICERS AND CHAIRMEN First row, lelt to right Iames McLellan, Mrs. Hughes, Robert Tishue, James Gance. Second row Patty McCuen.

O O O TRI-HI-Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Tri- Hi-Y. Under the capable direction of Miss Marie Marchetti. it has been one of the most active clubs of the year. A very successful dance of the school term was the Hi-Teen Festival. The only admission was fruits and vegetables. which were donated to the Salva- tion Army. and the Children's and County Homes. This year. as in the preceding years. the club decorated a Christmas tree in the main hall to add a little Christmas spirit to the school. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y jointly spon- sored a Valentine Dance on February 14, at which a Sweetheart couple was selected. A new project undertaken by the club this year is the operation of a Snack Bar at the YMCA by Volunteers each evening. Dairy bar items of all kinds are sold. Student adviser of this project is Doris Bierbower, ably assisted by June Dennis and Lois Ansell. Dances were also sponsored each Friday night by the clubs of North and South Union. Officers are: President, Patty McCuen: Vice-President, Connie Calhoun: Secretary, Doris Bierbowerg Treasurer, Barbara Smithg Chaplain, Betty Laughrey. Happy memories of skating, bowl-- ing, movies, swimming, and many other varied activities will linger long in the minds of all the members who are leaving the club this year. HI-Y Hi-Y is a voluntary club program for boys in the tenth. eleventh, and twelfth grades of high school, sponsored by the Young Men's Christian Association. Its name is a combina- tion of the term high-school YMCA. The Hi-Y movement is international in scope, Christian in emphasis. interdenominational in character. and democratic in practice. Al- though its main field of action is often in the high school community, Hi-Y groups may be organized in any setting in which boys of the upper three grades of high school are foundg that is. in the church, school, YMCA building or neighborhood. The Hi-Y statement of purpose is: To create. maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The South Union Hi-Y was originated in the year 1949-50 with the club consisting of 24 members. Each year the club accom- plishes more by doing school projects and gathering a greater number of members. Dances, sports activities, and community projects have been enjoyed by all 37 mem- bers this year. The officers for the year of 1951-52 were Ed Dugan, Presidentg Bob Tishue, Vice-Presi- dentg William McKnight, Secretary-treasurerg and Bernard Sofranko, Chaplain. These boys were ably assisted by their club adviser, Mr. William Bryan. 9 HI-Y First row. lt-ft to right+Ronald Hawihornn-. Roy Campbell. William McKnight. Edwin Dugan, Mr. William Bryan.

Mrs. Howard, upon being named administrator, selected and assigned the girls to their respective positions. The duties of the patrol were numerous and varied, but the most important ones were to discourage loitering and to prevent marring walls and strewing paper on the floor. The Boys' Patrol squad includes seniors. juniors, and sophomores. The members are selected on the basis of trustworthiness, reli- ability, character, scholarship, and regular at- tendance. They act as monitors during class changes and also police the halls at noon- time. After having served two semesters, each boy is awarded the traditional patrol letter. Conn Costolo is the faculty sponsor.

Although their job is not an easy one, they are proud to be known as one of the selected twelve. In the latter part of their sophomore year, the girls are given their first experiences of transferring the grades from the sheets to the permanent books. Their work is usually kept in the background but the teachers know and appreciate all the help given by the grade recorders. LIBRARIANS The selected group of librarians has been very active in both dutiful and social activi- ties this year. Aside from working for the student body, the organization presented the Cotton Capers Party on September 14, for the purpose of raising additional monies for the library book fund. At the beginning of the year, the group, accompanied by its spon- sor, Mrs. Howard, attended the Ice Capades presented at The Gardens in Pittsburgh. To climax the social calendar of the year. the librarians held a covered dish supper in the cafeteria as a reward for those who helped with the revamping of the library.

Our Blue Devils rang up the curtain on their '51 football season with a 20-7 nod over Point Marion at the South Union Stadium in the only afternoon game of the season. This was victory number five in our nine-game schedule. Fans were thrilled with the early season form of the Blue Devils-our team showing it had not lost the pep that was evident last season. Rated as the underdog going into the opening game with Masontown. the Blue Devils surprised their foe with a 13-10 vic- tory. The following Thursday the Devils in- vaded Georges and came through with a 21- 13 victory. The following two weeks found our boys going to the dressing room with victories over Centerville and Waynesburg. Our team and over half the student body traveled to the Uniontown Stadium for our 1941 game with the future champs-the unde- feated Raiders. The game started out with a bang, but the Raiders came back with de- termination, putting the Devils in a hole and keeping them there. When the final gun sounded, the Devils came home with a 32-6 defeat and, unfortunately, many aching muscles. Stunned over the defeat, our team trooped to the showers after the next three games on the short end of the score. And it was not until the last game of the season that we regained our winning ways. And so the records of another year went down in the books, accompanied by many fond memories. It was a season of many thrills and some heartaches, but a season which will remain in our hearts for a long time. Our boys played good, clean football, and South Union is proud to claim them as her own. SEASON'S RECORD S. U. H. S. 13 S. U. H. S. 2 1 S. U. H. S S. U. H. S. S. U. H. S. S. U. H. S S. U. H. S S. U.

FOUR SENIORS EARN SWEATERS With a tough 17-game schedule facing his team, Coach Martin Fagler did not lose any time in getting his team ready for another season. The smack of leather on hardwood heralded the beginning of basketball season as eager candidates began practice sessions. The Blue Devils looked as though they might stage a comeback in holding Monessen to a 45-44 score after opening the 1951-52 cam- paign with two shellackings at the hands of California and Charleroi. Crashing through the walls of the unex- pected, the Faglerites out-shot, out-rebounded and outplayed Carmichaels to gain a 31-27 decision, which marked the first victory since the pre-league play commenced. No sooner had the Devils had the taste of victory than their dream was spoiled by Jefferson and Connellsville. The Devils didn't stay down long as they bounced back to trim the Scottdale five, 57-48, in a run- away contest. However, the Devils were un- able to stay perched on top of the victory column as they were humbled by the fast- bearing North Union Rams, 64-29, who were destined to win sectional honors. The real thriller of the basketball season came when South Union won two games in a row, defeating Dunbar, 65-46, and Con- nellsville, 43-39. After this spurt, the Devils l99l Assistant Coach Russell Hasson looks on as Head Coach Martin Fagler maps out strategy for a coming game. were unable to garner another victory the remainder of the season. Our boys played valiantly despite the criticisms and remarks cast on them, and to the basketball team and Coach Fagler go our congratulations. Receiving awards for their hardwood serv- ices during the 1951-52 campaign were ten Blue Devils. These included: Seniors receiv- ing sweaters-James Ganoe. Norman Ander- son, Richard Semsey. and Joe Barnish. Let- ters were received by the following under- classmen: Scott Grimm, William Oberleitner, Dale Hellein, Steve Veno, Tom Ditmore, and Bill George. ALONG THE CINDER TRAIL . . - Tl! sw 'i if A. -I .K . 4 6 rl-. y TRACK . Under the watchful eye of head 'track mentor joe Stefacin, the thinclads of South Union High improved greatly, but lacked the necessary depth to come home victorious on several occasions. Particularly fogging down the Blue Devil scoring attack was the weak- ended strength in all the field events. In the winning performances, Dugan sparkled with his blistering 100 and 200 yard dashes, and Edenfield, a newcomer, showed his prowess in the one-mile run. Although not regarded as a serious threat to stronger district teams, this year's squad put in a determined bid to up-end the dope- bucket despite their lack of experience and the small number of thinclads. In summary, however, we may say we had success, for we copped a number of individual victories in all meets participated in. One trackman, Ed Dugan, qualified for the P. I. A. A. meet at Penn State and finished third.

The Little Red School House Letls go back beyond our present century . . . back to the days when our first schools were started. In the beginning school rooms were rented in private homes. Eventually, the citizens refused to rent private rooms for school room use because of the destruction involved. As a result. a series of one- or two- room buildings were erected in South Union Township to accommodate the school chil- dren. These buildings for years were heated by coal stoves placed in the center of the room. Classes were conducted from recita- tion benches around two or three sides of the room. The seating was generally arranged for two persons to be seated together. Black- boards were just that . . . boards painted I9 91 black. The walls contained little, if any, decoration. The boys in Grade I wore dresses and curls. The girls wore gingham and calico dresses, high shoes and black stockings. In the winter. boots were greased at the ankles so that they could get them on the next day. The students then attended school only three to five months out of the year as the boys had to help do the chores at home and the girls had to learn from their mothers how to make a home. Gradually. as the need for schools became greater, and a larger number of students were attending school. the little red school houses were abandoned altogether and the more advanced and larger schools that we are familiar with were built.

ALIVE IN EVERY HEART BURNS THE The real history of South Union High School begins in the year 1923 when the first graduating class of twelve members, 'ten girls and two boys, proudly received their diplomas. Before 1920, students of South Union Township, upon completing their grade school work. were sent to Uniontown High School. However, high school classes were started in 1920 in our present building. with only the freshman and sophomore classes. Mr. J. D. Longanecker, a member of the present faculty, was the first principal. A full four-year high school course was started in 1922, and by 1923 a portable building had to be erected to accommodate the in-coming students. The farsighted pioneers of South Union could hardly have envisioned our schools as they are today. The present high school building. gym, football field and baseball field, grade school buildings at Revere, Hop- wood, Leith. Hatfield, Hutchinson. Brown- field, Continental No. 1 and Continental No. 2, and the Areford Building will soon be added to by the erection of a new grade school building on Derrick Avenue in an expansion program to meet growing demands. From the days of the 3 R's to the present day, there has been a constant demand for better educational facilities. Students of to- day are offered a variety of courses from which they can choose the one most ap- Basketball Team, 1921-22. Guy M. Clark, Coach. b Football Team, 1922. Ichn Manqanella.

Activities in the early high school days were confined largely to glee clubs, debating and oratorical societies, and language clubs. Today, they are so wide and varied 'that every pupil has an opportunity to work at his hobbies or develop special talents and receive recognition for them. Over the years South Union High School athletic teams have earned respect from most opponents.. It is interesting to note that, although victories have been recorded over many foes and championship teams pro- duced, athletics play an important part in the lives of high school boys and girls, and that victories are not the only end result. Athletics help to develop the mind as well as the body, teach self-control, and emphasize fair play and good sportsmanship. South Union, celebrating its hundredth birthday this year, is faced with the challenge of meeting and conquering the problems aris- ing from the modern age. Boys and girls are turning to educational institutions for an an- swer, and South Union is rising to the top in providing better educational basis for social and personal achievement. BELL!
