Uh say, does that star-spangled banner yet Wave O'er the land ot the tree and the home ot the brave? Q46 1941 dlfL0 C6iIfIfLd ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE SENIOR CLASS SOUTHMONT HIGH SCHOOL JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA Volume XI PRESENTING YOUTH AND DEMOCRACY This l94l volume of the Panorama has been dedicated to the theme of youth and democracy. We of the staff, by means of words and photography. have attempted to disclose the advantages of an educational system under a democratic form of government. We have arranged our book in four sections. each featuring one of the aims of a democratic educational ideal, namely- fair and unbiased instruction, free choice of school activities, healthful and pleasurable development of the body, and recreational enjoyment of life. As our mentor, we have chosen the Spirit of Democracy who will guide us through the pages of this book. i' i' 'A' 'A' After passing over the introductory pages and the picture of our Alma Mater under which is our national anthem, we pause to read the inscription under the dedication. Turning now to the next pages, we find the administration and faculty who perform services of instruction and guidance. Accompanying each teacher's name is a short paragraph telling us the aim of each course. Opposite the faculty page are messages of interest from our Supervising Principal, Mr. Gross, and our High School Principal, Mr. Wolf. The following pages are dedicated to the Seniors in their achievements, work, success, activities, and enjoyment. The Senior play is one example of the work and cooperation of their last year. As we carefully study the next pages, we find our friends who are also striving for a place in the history of the school. They are the Iuniors, the Sophomores, and the Freshmen. We have now come to the next section of the book, that of clubs and organizations. On the first page are the band and the music groups, which have prospered greatly in their year of training. Turnina to the next page. we find represented one of our new clubs, the Camera Club. On the following page we find the Drarnatics Club, famous for its tragedies and comedies. We pause thoughtfully with the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y Clubs, since they are responsible for the character training of our students. Next is the Home Arts Club which aids the girls in home-making. Now we behold the Prefs Club which should be commended for its production of the Panorama Iunior. our monthly school publication. On the following page we find the Science Club in which pupils are continually making new discoveries. Now we turn to the last page of this section on which we find the Student Council, an organization in which student representatives discuss school problems. i' 'k i' 'k At this point we have come to the third section of the Panorama, that of boys' and girls' sports. Turning the pages, we discover that football is the first sport represented. We recall the many tough battles in which our boys took part, displaying unegualed sportsmanship. Now we turn to the snort of basketball. Here we find thrilling victories both in the teamwork and in the morale of our boys. We must continue to that page of girls' sports in which hockey, volley ball, basketball and other athletics are represented. Before leaving the sports section, we wish to pay tribute to the pep squad which led a loyal group of fans at each game. We have now reached the last section of this volume, that of features. We are intrigued by the informal poses of our friends and schoolmates on the snapshot page and are equally amused at the humorous inscriptions on the feature pages. At last we have finished our browsing through this volume of the Panorama and have placed it on the shelf with preceding editions. Although we have reached the end of our school career, we shall never reach the end of our memories of these past days. Perhaps in years to come, you will be with us again, reverently turning these pages. Q ! To Mr. Hughes Brininger Whose sincere friendship, sympathetic judgment, patient instruction, beneficial guidance, and example of true citizenship and patriotism have given us a deeper respect for education and a keener desire for achievement, We dedicate this volume of the Panorama in the year nineteen hundred forty-one. DEMOCRACY ADMINISTERING CLASSES I, the Spirit of Democracy, am found in the midst of the administration, the faculty, and the classes of Southmont High School. I represent the free and unbiased instruction allowed under my government. I represent a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people . ln my name one finds wise and just administration, well-formulated instruction, and freedom in choice of educational advantages. What do l offer in a school? First, I offer to you, the youth of America, a government of those educated solely in the influence of that instruction which encourages desire for further education, individuality of thought and expression, and training of youth to face future problems of democracy. I offer to you young people a variety of subjects so that you may obtain a wide sphere of knowledge. lt is not my Wish to train you in mechanical and scientific lines for the purpose of destroying your fellow men. I wish to place at your disposal the knowledge that will benefit mankind and improve this world in which we live. Lastly, it is my aim to give to each of you, regardless of race, color, or religion, an opportunity to gain that education best suited to you and to present to you viewpoints of respect and tolerance toward humanity.

HUGHES BRININGER-Science, Boys' Physical Education To develop a better adjusted and finer type of young manhood and womanhood, through an intelligent understanding of the principles and applications of science is the purpose of the science department. MR. IOHN DAVIS-Art Art aids one in the appreciation of anything made by nature or man. Although we are not all artists, we all receive satisfaction in creating. May each one be a creator to the best of his ability. MRS. MARGARET GLOOR-Home Economics, English The Home Economics course tries to develop in every girl the ability to plan and prepare attractive meals, to know colors and textiles in relation to personal clothing, to develop skill in dressmaking, to understand budgeting of time and money, and to comprehend all basic homemaking problems.

MISS EMMA WEBER-English The English department aims to give every American boy and girl an accurate know- ledge of the use of his native language as well as an appreciation ot the world's best literature. ' EDUCATIUN FOR DEMOCRACY In the course of our history as a people, building on the heritage bequeath- ed trom the Old World, we have forged from experience a new great social faith. It is easy to set down the essential article of this social faith. It is: that, politically and socially, All men are created equal , that the fundamental purpose of society and institutions is to enhance the worth, the dignity and the power of the individual human being, that every child, whether of noble or mean ancestry, shall have an equal opportunity for growth, position and re- sponsibilityp that farmers, mechanics, merchants and housewives shall be able to rule themselves, that the liberties of thought, speech, expression, and religion are the true essence of a government based on the great faith of the people in the individual. The tragic destruction of the social faith in Europe fills us with confusion and terror, Frantically we strike out to slay the mortal adversary of our faith. But back of this physical effort to hold fast to that which is good, must be the inquiring, creative, adventurous mind, seeking, through the wise use of the great resources of our land, to promote the general welfare. The worth of the individual must be recognized, whatever be his mental or physical capacity, in that he must be given the chance to share equally with all the opportunities and responsibilities of this great faith. Education must fit him for this responsibility, as Pope, the poet, aptly says: 'Tis education forms the commond mind, lust as the twig is bent the tree's incIined. IRA C. Gnoss Supervising Principal if if i i' The problem of life is not to make life easier but to make men stronger. -David Starr Iordan In these days of chaos and uncertainty, we are fearful that democracy may not survive. We are probably most concerned that our easy, pleasant type of living will end and instead we shall have to face great sacrifices and hardship. We have long regarded democracy as an easy way of life, but democracy that is enduring does not promise a soft existence but rather a life of great personal sacrifice. Young people of today should not anticipate the future with too much anxiety. The pleasant life of the past may not continue, but life may be more satisfying because it is more challenging and is infused with a higher purpose. America will still be a great democracy if youth will gird itself for the trying experiences which may arise. We do not need more inventions or scientific knowledge, but we need young men and women who are strong-strong in body, mind, and character. The challenge to American youth is to become physically strong to endure hardship, to exercise honest, courageous thinking, and to cultivate habits and ideals worthy of the highest type of manhood and womanhood. Whatever the future may hold in store for us, if American youth is strong, democracy will endure. WILBUR C.

Each of us returned to school for this last term with a firm determination to enjoy an eventful and successful year. Since each Senior realized the tasks which were to be accomplished, We worked together. under the guidance of Miss Weber, our adviser, and Hugo Larson, our president, to enjoy a prosperous and exceedingly joyous year. As the annual first major activity, we began our year with the prepara- tions for a tea. The purpose of the tea was to acquaint our mothers with our teachers as well as to inform them about our prospective duties. Since we had chosen patriotism as the theme of our activities throughout the school year, we employed patriot motifs in the decoration and entertainment of the tea. We presented a pageant entitled Youth and Democracy which was written by the members of the class and highly commended by our guests. Our decorations consisted of a circular centerpiece painted red, white, and blue over which was suspended a replica of the liberty belly our place cards were blue stars upon which was placed a mounted flag. After the thrill of the tea had subsided, we began working on our Senior play which was entitled Good Morning . We worked constantly for four weeks not only in rehearsals but also in boosting ticket sales. The play was given on November 26, and in spite of undesirable weather, was a great financial success. We started the New Year with new enthusiasm by having another success chalked up in our favor. This time' it was the annual senior dance held on Ianuary 2. We chose as our theme the 4l Frolic . Baby New Year dominated the scene amid the red and white decorative streamers and the 4l's which hung from the ceiling. Everyone enjoyed the rythmic melodies of Ierry Gray and his popular orchestra. For the remainder of the second semester, we concentrated on the pro- duction of the yearbook. The staff, with the instruction of Miss Weber and the support of the class, planned and wrote the contents of the book. We en- deavored to improve the contents and general appearance of it with several new ideas which added to the enjoyment of its construction. On Iune l We attended the Baccalaureate service, and finally, on june 3, we concluded this chapter of our lives with a most impressive com- mencement program at which we received our diplomas signifying that we had completed those studies necessary for graduation.

Determined to produce a yearbook of which we could be proud, our class undertook the selling of candy and ice cream at the school football and basketball games. This project proved a great financial success under the management of Elaine Salkeld who was ably assisted by Lydia Raab, Theresa Kist, Iean McDade, Margaret Ann Humphreys, and Audrey George. After the turn of the New Year, we Iuniors immediately made plans for our annual Iunior informal dance, the Sweetheart Hop, which was held on February 15. Our president, Wallace McGough, with the advice of Miss Key, led the class through the undertaking of one of the year's most enjoyable social functions. The music was furnished by Bob Waters and his orchestra. On March l8th we triumphantly showed our dramatic prowess in the presentation of three delightful one-act plays entitled Buddy Answers an Ad , The Florist Shop , and Two Crooks and a Lady . The last event of an active year took place when we showed our ap- preciation of the Seniors by enjoying with them a gala farewell social evening-the Iunior-Senior .

WILLIAM SNOWDEN FLOWER LILAC COLORS LAVENDER AND GOLD MOTTO HE WHO LABons, CONQUERSH SOPHOMORE CLASS I We gay, young Sophomores made our way through our first year in Senior High School under the able supervision of Mr. Snowden. The combined efforts of all our class members were directed toward the success of our first money-making project, a motion picture program. Iudging from the great number of satisfied patrons, our efforts were not in vain. Many representatives of our class appeared in the football and basket- ball squads. We were at last beginning to show an athletic prowess which might be effective in future years. We also took an active part in all of the organizations and social functions of the school. At the close of the year, we felt that we were quite prepared to enter the second most important phase of our high school career. FRESHMAN CLASS Upon entering the ninth year of our sojourn in Southmont School, we verdant Freshmen abandoned our pesky geography and began our troublesome algebra. During the course ot the year, we iound many activities in Which We could participate. We were Well represented in the various student extra- curricular clubs and sports. For the first time, We Freshmen organized a regular Ninth Grade Chorus which, tor its first public activity, sang tor the Mothers' Club. After the beginning of the new year, We held a theatre party on Ianuary 27. We all agreed that we experienced a very enjoyable evening. Through- out the entire year, We were under the guidance of Mr. Steele, our class adviser. We are already planning three important ensuing years ot high school. We have just begun to Work towards our final goal-graduation. FRESHMAN CLASS President ..,...... ..., B ARRY Bocx Vice President ..... .......

DEMOCRACY PROMOTING ORGANIZATIONS l, the Spirit of Democracy, stand here as a symbol of those organizations which are formed for unity in action and in work. Under our democratic form of government, clubs are primarily organized to mould character and to develop specific abilities in the individual. They are formed for the promotion of some common object, whether it be literary, athletic, or political. Members of the organization became engaged in social intercourse, in this way they learn to meet new acquaintances and form new friendships. I might say that each member has an individual share of a joint enterprise. In order to further the success of such an organization, each member must learn to cooperate and to work in complete harmony with his colleagues, As I am somewhat of cr leader myself, I should like to see leadership developed in the person and mind of you members of the younger generation. I can't think of a better way for you to acquire leadership, initiative, and prestige in life than to develop it in one of your school clubs. ln every group, some people are born 1eaders just as others are born followers . What- ever the case may be, you young people should be willing to assume responsibilities and perform your duties to the best of your ability. Don't ever be afraid to voice your opinion, it is your privilege. As I said before, the main object of cr school club is to work for some end, for a club without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Some ol the services your clubs perform for folks less fortunate than you are worth more to those people than anything else in the world. Sometimes I say to myself, Miss Democracy, you certainly are a lucky person to be the sponsor of such grand young people. fb' iff! . 'f 'f'Vf,f'H ' ,JI 10 Rl, ' I l...: 'M' ' f K .

From these groups, Mr. Billman chose two smaller vocal groups, namely the boys' quartet and the mixed ensemble which presented entertainment for several programs throughout the year. In December, the mixed ensemble which consisted of Iacquelin Baum- baugh, Phyllis Dunkle, Iohanna Davies, Elaine Salkeld, Iane Buchanan, Virginia Schooley, Richard Ross, Daryl Ely, William Carstensen, Fred Water- man, Duane Strandquest, and Robert Cobaugh traveled to Ebensburg to represent Southmont at the All-County Music Festival where they sang Lol What a Branch of Beauty and Pat-A-Pan . When school resumed after the New Year, the choruses began their work in preparation for the Forensic League contests. This year Mr. Billman entered in the contest four groups which were the girls' chorus, boys' chorus, the mixed ensemble, and the mixed chorus. The mixed chorus was a combina- tion of the boys' and girls' choruses and the mixed ensemble was composed of the members of the original ensemble with the addition of Harriet Gould, Lucille Harper, and Silvio Landino. The numbers learned by the mixed chorus were the Arrow and the Song by Noble Cain and Out of the Night by Morton Luvaas. The boys' chorus undertook for their numbers Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen , a negro spiritual, and Ye Banks and Braes a Scotch folk song arranged by R. W. Gibb. My Master Hath a Garden by W. H. Anderson and Adoramus Te by Giovanni Perti were chosen by the girls' chorus. For its numbers, the mixed ensemble learned Out of the Night by Morton Luvaas and a negro spiritual entitled So's I Can Write My Name . The choruses greatly enjoyed their work and honors achieved in their par- ticipation of the Forensic League.

These persons were Kathryn Hunt, Robert Gore, Ogden Shaffer, Charles McGregor, Iean Evans, Iean Lape, Robert Reesey, Byron MacDowell, and Ioanne Huston. We continued our work throughout the winter season and presented musical entertainment for several programs during the year.

CAMERA CLUB In this our, second year of activity, we, the members of the Southmont Camera Club, have made our group one of the schoo1's distinctive organiza- tions through our interest and perseverance in its functions. At the beginning of the year, finding ourselves short of funds, we decided to have a Christmas card sale to help us carry on. When the proceeds from the sale were totaled, we found that we had made over twenty dollars. After a few Weeks' discussion, we bought a beautiful Kodak folding camera and case. Each member took the camera out for one week, snapped a roll of film, and developed the pictures in the club period the following week. During the year, We developed private rolls of negatives for a small fee. For club period programs, we discussed the various phases of photog- raphy, each member giving reports on topics of interest. As a climax to the year's work, we sent entries to a few of the local and county photography contests. We also :ent quite a few entries to the spring art exhibit in the school. DRAMATICS CLUB We members of the Dramatics Club, during our eighth year of existence, have presented eight successful performances for our many fans at Southmont. Our first appearance of the year was for an assembly program when we presented two plays, Dear Lady Be Brave and His First Shave. Both plays were comedies and were heartily enjoyed by the Southmont students. Dear Lady Be Brave had a plot involving a certain Dr. Clark, his :friend Mr. William Tandy, and three acquaintances of Tandy. The plan, enacted by Dr. Clark and Mr. Tandy to discover which girl would make the best wife, was disclosed by Miss McLendon, the most concerned of the three. As the play ended, Dr. Clark had become infatuated with the lovely lady and offered to take her to dinner. The other play involving more character analysis was entitled His First Shave . The plot concerned a young boy who, while dressing for a date, decided to shave. As the outcome of this adolescent obsession, Iunior missed his date and had the family in an uproar. Our next occasion for the club 'to face an audience was for the presen- tation of two Christmas plays. Pop Reads The Christmas Carol , was a comedy in which each member of the family had one particular task to perform on Christmas eve. Dad wanted to read Dicken's Christmas Carol , Iunior hunted for the Christmas presents, the two older children, a bov and a girl, wished to hang mistletoe to the advantage of their dates, and Mother hoped to keep peace in the family. Our second play on that occasion was a more serious drama entitled Christmas is for Children . This was a story which proved that Christmas is for grown-ups as well as for children. After these performances, our club undertook several plays for the purpose of entering grade school children. A Doll for 'Lizabeth and Mrs. Magician's Mistake were the titles of these plays. The first play told of a boy and. a girl who went to a doll shop to choose a doll for their little sister. As. the couple hesitated to make the choice, each doll recited a description of itself. Finally it was decided that the rag doll would make the best com- panion for 'Li.zabeth. Mrs Magician's Mistake was a delightful imaginative play. The plot involved a magician who wished to make all children happy, and in doing so he prepared a magical food in which was contained all the knowledge in the world. The climax of this wonderful idea occurred when Mrs. Magician threw away the valuable mixture. We concluded the year by drawing the curtain at the close of two comedies enacted before the Mothers' Club and the student body. These plays, each a delightful and humorous comedy, were entitled Thanks Awfully and Pickles Is Pickles. Thanks Awfully depicted a situation in which a young artist promised to entertain a group of feminine bridge players by the use of two words thanks awfully . The artist not only suc- ceeded in entertaining the ladies but also proposed to the girl he loved with the use of these two words. A truly ridiculous plot made possible the marriage of a couple in the play Pickles Is Pickles . A dominating uncle forbade the courtship of his niece, an heiress, by a pickle salesman who disguised as a famous movie actress, won the heart of the uncle and made possible the wedding.

GIRL RESERVES In the Girl Reserve Club of 1940-41, we endeavored to uphold the Girl Reserve slogan To Find and Give the Best . During the course of the year, we attempted to extend our service to those less fortunate than We. In other words We tried to give our best. Our first step toward our goal was the sponsoring of a rummage sale. Our efforts toward the success of this sale proved very satisfactory. Some of the profit gained by this venture enabled us to hold a Christmas party in the school auditorium for the children of the Broad Street Mission. The members of the club entered into the games with the children, after which gifts were distributed and refreshments served. Entertainment was provided by the Senior Dramatics Club in the form of a doll play. During the month of Ianuary, the club studied the topic of personal hygiene. We enjoyed the talks given by Miss Mildred Luttringer, school nursep Dr. Albert Doyle, member of the Pennsylvania Department of Healthy Miss Iohanna Krauss, graduate nurse of Memorial Hospital. A covered dish supper held at the Y. W. C. A. was the main social event of the month. Elaine Salkeld was selected to represent our club at the Girl Reserve Con- ference held in Iohnstown February 21 and 23. Our next main activity was one in which the entire school participated. A skating party was held on April Zl at Skateland. We Were then able to entertain our mothers at the annual Mother-Daughter banquet. This, our major activity of the year, proved to be a great success. We now feel that We have completed a very successful year's program, and as our slogan states, have given our best. HI-Y CLUB The Senior Hi-Y Club began the 1940-4l year with the addition of the following new members, Robert Altemus, Gordon Baer, Hayes Beck, Franklin Bennett, Robert Bird, Donald Esaias, Charles Gallucci, William Lynam, Dean Mangus, Wesley Matthews, Boynton Nevling, North Shaver, and Telford Williams. Mr. Wolf became the new adviser of the club. A different type of program planning has been inaugurated this year and has proved quite successful. The club selected a number oi different themes which it wanted to consider, and, by voluntary choice of the members, a committee was assigned to develop each theme as it saw fit. Programs were sponsored by the various committees on the following topics: Vocations, Alcohol and Narcotics, Health and Social Diseases, Boy and Girl Relationship, Religion, Advertising, and Motion Pictures. Several club periods were devoted to each theme and different methods of presentation were followed, including motion pictures, speakers, and student forums. The Older Boy's Conference of Southwestern Pennsylvania was held in Iohnstown on December 7-9, 1940. Visiting boys were entertained in the homes of some of the members of our club. Howard Mitchell and Wesley Matthews were elected to represent Southmont at the conference, HI-Y FIRST ROW-LEFT 'ro RIGHT-Fred Waterman, William Carstensen, Howard Mitchell, Robert Shumaker, lack Maxwell, Robert Rose.

We then held an initiation hike after school and a formal initiation in the Home Economics room at the next club meeting. This function was in the form of a candle-light ceremony. The candles were of rainbow colors and each member Was dressed in white. During October We worked on covers for the sewing machines and made plans for our skating party which Was held on October 22, at the Westmont Grove rink. We decided to redecorate the bedroom in the Home Economics Department in November. The girls painted the furniture ivory with rose and blue as the trimming colors. Three new members were welcomed into the club on November 25. They were Geraldine Shull, lean Beatty, and Betty Savering. For our club program in December we decided to make Christmas gifts for our friends and relatives. After vacation we began to plan in detail for our Home Economics Rally which was held February l. We wrote to many schools inviting delegates to our conference which was held for the purpose of organizing new clubs and having them become affiliated with the state and national Home Economics Clubs. We served the delegates lunch in the cafeteria and had many interesting talks by the guest speakers and the girls. On February 10, we held a second formal initiation for the three new members whom We had accepted in November. During March, We presented an assembly program and served tea for the Mothers' Club. We decided to hold a rummage sale in the spring to earn money to send some delegates to the state convention in May. This gathering was held in Pittsburgh this year. PRESS CLUB This year We of the Panorama Ir. staff have tried in every possible Way to uphold our leadership in school affairs by participating in and reporting accurately on school activities. Membership in the club was re- stricted, and more stringent qualifications were imposed on those who wished to join. Last fall, we gave the contract for printing 175 copies of the paper to the Weigel and Barber printing company. The number of yearly subscriptions reached 140, thereby requiring us to sell few subscriptions on the monthly payment plan. All subscription money was paid in a lump sum before the printing of the first issue. This year financial responsibilities were lightened because of the generosity of the school board in granting us some assistance in our Work. We of the Press Club are very grateful for this help, and feel that it has improved our paper by leaving us free to concentrate on raising the standards of the Panorama Ir. Our active participation in the Cambria County School Press Association was emphasized by the fact that the second conference Was held at South- mont on March 8. The diligence and hard Work of the staff made this affair a great success. The theme which We chose for the conference was that of Democracy and the Free Press. A large placard, flanked by the national flag and the school flag, emphasized this idea- A free press is the safeguard of Democracy. The decorations were in red, white, and blue, while the favors and programs used the Cambria County School Press Association symbol. At the general assembly effective addresses were given by Miss Isabelle Harris of Pittsburgh, and Mr. Orval Kipp of Indiana State Teachers' College. The Mothers' Club served a delightful luncheon at which Mr. Ben Coll of the Iohnstown Tribune gave an inspiring talk. With the encouragement of our advisers, we of the staff of the Panorama Ir. feel we have completed a very successful year.

SCIENCE CLUB In the fall we members of Science Club resumed the work of our second year of existence. We began the year with the election of officers and pro- ceeded with the organization plans. Each member began his work on in- dividual experiments, endeavoring to obtain a broader outlook in the field of science. Several of our outstanding experiments of the year were performed by the members of the club. Alfred Kline worked on an experiment to demonstrate the principle of the electric clockg Nancy Belle Apt also confined her research to all types of clocks and their repair. The action of the spark plug in the gasoline engine was performed by Carl Miller who also showed the action of electrons passing through a rarefied atmosphere with the aid of an in- duction coil. The principle of the photoelectric eye and its uses in a relay to operate a bell and light when its beam was broken was investigated by Hugo Larson and Fred Waterman. Fred Waterman also attempted to gain an understanding of polarized light. An interesting experiment concerning the telephone and the telegraph was performed by Iames Coltrin and Donald Woodhead. Daryl Ely and Iames Coltrin constructed a carbon arc light with which it was possible to burn a piece of coal the size of an egg in 10 seconds. Another experiment requiring much research and patient labor was performed by Hugo Larson. This experiment was the construction and calibrating of a thermoelectric couple which is used in the process of melting metals. Through- out the year we have gained an increasing interest of the intriguing facts of science as well as the knowledge of scientific principles. STUDENT COUNCIL The beginning of our new school year witnessed the inauguration of a new Student Council. At our first meeting we appointed committees which were to function throughout the entire year. Competent students were selected to head the following committees: auditorium, athletic, student activities, college entrance, lost and found, pep, dance, and auditing committees. Our admired chronicle, the scrapbook, passed into the hands of Carolyn Mainhart, who continued and enlarged its scope. The following chairmen fulfilled their duties faithfully and made it possible to carry out various plans and activities during the year: auditorium, Dean Mangusp athletic, William Carstensenp student activities, Iack Maxwell, college entrance, William Carstensenp lost and found, Robert Rose, pep, Robert Cobaughg dance, lack Maxwell, auditing, Iane Buchanan. During the year we endeavored to solve problems pertaining to school life. Each Wednesday noon, we sponsored noon dancing which was well patronized by the students. We purchased new megaphones for the cheer- leaders to use at basketball and football games. At our regular meetings we spent some time in the study of parliamentary law. We feel that we have completed a very successful and interesting school year.

Wrmaun Wow DEMOCRACY DEVELOPING PHYSICAL FITNESS I, the Spirit of Democracy, encourage healthful and enjoyable develop- ment of the physical body. lt is my desire that in planned athletics the boy and girl of today learn the true value of good sportsmanship. I hope that you, the youth of America, learn the need for work and play and that you enjoy your work as well as your recreation. It is to my advantage as a community or a nation that you youngsters develop strong and healthy bodies, for good physical health insures mental health. I shall then in future generations have access fo a people better fitted and better qualified to perform my duties. l want to train you to win and lose courageously, so that in later life you will be able to face more difficult problems and emerge a triumphant winner or loser. Already in this modern age of speed and activity, men and women are breaking under a strain of constant worry and exertion. I believe that the knowledge and application of healthful recreation can somewhat relieve this strain upon man and preserve his life. Then, too, 1 want to educate you young people so that you may see the value and desirability of proper recreation and that you do not fall into habits of introspection which often lead to revolution. Finally, I believe that partaking in contests increases mcm's 'tolerance for his fellow men and teaches him the value of competition. 'wh xMNx,,, M5 aj g 1 J V f ,r,f X I , X N ' f . uf.

On Friday, October 4, we played our first game of the season with Cherry Tree. Cherry Tree emerged the victor by a score of Z6-6. Bob Shumaker com- pleted a spectacular play when he received a twenty-five yard pass from Junior Landino and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. Our second game was played with South Fork on their field. Paul Roberts, a younger member of the team, gave an outstanding performance that day, but we were defeated by a score of 32-6. The second touchdown of the year was made by Iack Maxwell when he intercepted a pass to make a brilliant open field run. On October l8 We saw a fast moving game in which Bolivar made two touchdowns. Our own boys couldn't quite make it over the line. In the first half Southmont gained more yardage than its opponents, but was unable to match their one run which was scored in the first half. Hugo Larson, playing guard on offensive, led many of our longest gains and was also used as a de- pendable safety man on defense. In the Claysburg game, our deceptive offensive came into full play. lim Coltrin, as quarterback, was calling plays when we received the ball 5 yards from our line. We started with hard off-tackle drives which were con- verted into end runs and tricky reverses. Then we opened up the opponents for a brilliant passing attack which carried the ball 94 yards without a loss on any play. Wallace McGough finally backed the pigskin over the line FOOTBALL On Friday, November l, Southmont fans saw a victorious Richland team over-run our local boys by a score of 28-O on a muddy gridiron. Fred Glosser, Ioe Kipilo, and Fred Waterman gave outstanding performances in the line of tackling. Our last game of the year was played at Cochran with our old rival, Dale. We were unable to secure any points, however, our opponents scored three touchdowns plus the succeeding points. In this game, Donald Esaias with three of his teammates, Dean Mangus, Franklin Bennet, and Telford Williams, proved to us that they have the makings of future players who will add to the glory of Southmont's team.

December 30-Monday-Alumni-home-The golden tigers bowed to their former classmates in a hard-fought game on our floor. The score was 36-15.

Ianuary 28-Friday-Beaverdale-home-Southmont High, which pulled the Southern Cambria League's biggest surprise to date in knocking off pre- viously undefeated Dale a week ago, almost yanked another trick out of the bag but gave up two last minute field goals and dropped a 29-26 decision to leading Beaverdale on the local borough court. The first quarter was even, but at the half the score was 14-13, in favor of Beaverdale closing at the third quarter, 23-20 in favor of Southmont.

At half time Southmont held a 17-15 margin over the Vintons. February 7-Friday--Armagh-home-Although their margin was never enough to brag about, the Steelemen showed the way, 6-4 and 12-10 in the first two quarters with Armagh taking the leadg after that our boys had the stuff, however, to meet the threat and came surging back to win the day. BASKETBALL February l8-Tuesday-Richland-home-Southmont pulled a surprise when they defeated Richland 29-26 with Carstensen making 13 points.

M Iss CHARLOTTE HILL GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year we elected our officers at the beginning of the year, so that they might begin at once to get the club organized. Mary Clare Keelan was elected head of Sports and Audrey Woodhead became the new head of Tumbling. Teams were organized, and every Tuesday night one could see us playing hockey on the field under the direction of Iean McDade and Iohanna Davies. This sport continued until weather became too cold for hockey. Then volleyball was started. Iackie Baumbaugh, with the able assistance of Geraldine Marley and Alice lean Fisher, carried on volleyball with vigor. On Ianuary l4, we began basketball on Tuesday and Friday nights after tumbling. Ioan Plummer performed her duties as the captain of basket- ball, as did lane Iordan, and Fern Demoise, secretary and manager, respec- tively. We were all very interested in basketball and tried to make this year a successful one. The Senior High School girls held their practices from 4:30 to 5:00 on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Three of the Senior Girls were extremely proficient and interested in all sports, especially basketball. We could usually find Nancy Belle Apt, Mary Clare Keelan, and Ioan Plummer displaying their ability on the gym floor. Nancy Belle and Mary Clare were guards on the basketball team, while Ioan was one of our best forwards. We have tried to promote a sportsmanlike attitude among the girls and have learned to love sports for their own sake. Our adviser, Miss Hill, has taught us to be fair and play the rules of the game in a fair manner. The last sport of the year was mushball. Margaret Ann Humphreys, with Betty Iane Roberts as secretary and Mary Holzman as manager, suited their positions very well. We had a good time on the field on Tuesday evenings, and most of the girls became quite proficient in the game. From fall until spring, we have always had tumbling on Friday evenings. This year, under the able leadership of Audrey Woodhead, we learned many new stunts and other tumbling antics. A large number of girls participated in this engaging pastime. PEP CLUB As cheerleaders for the Blue and Gold during the past year, we have tried to do our best in performing our many duties. During football season, we held a pep meeting before every home game, after which we went to the field to cheer the team on to victory. Assisted by the band, we staged a parade and bon-fire on the eve of the Dale game. Early in the year, our squad took on a new appearance. We came forth with new outfits which were purchased as a result of selling pennants. New megaphones were also secured as a reminder of this sale and the philanthropy of the Student Council. Next came the basketball season! During the interval between the football and the basketball season, we had been busy learning new cheers and practicising the old ones. All this took place under the guiding eye of our adviser, Miss Hill, who directed us throughout this year and helped us greatly in making the Pep Club a success.

DEMOCRACY FEATURING HUMOR I, the Spirit of Democracy, take great pleasure in expressing my candid opinion concerning the wit and humor of the American people. lt is by far one of their most desirable qualities. ln this day of stress and strife, it is wonderful to be able to laugh at a situation which is as absurd as it is amusing. Many people who never have any carefree moments of laughter to up- lift their spirits are missing one of the finest things in life-the awakening of pleasure and amusement in their minds. I-lave you ever seen yourself as others see you? Well I have often seen myself as others see me-in cartoons, especially. There I am not always the gallant and dignified figure I like to imagine myself. When l first analyzed myself, I was both shocked and amused. What a comic figure I often Was! However, l'm glad l have a sense of humor and am able to see the lighter side of life as well as the serious. We Americans desire some way to test our power of intelligent obser- vation, keen perception, and ingenious contrivance. We want to be able to laugh, to forget our troubles. We turn to such forms of speech and writing as newspapers, books, magazines, radio, and motion pictures to supply us with these types of entertainment. Wit and humor are closely linked together, but they are not alike. Humor is a mental disposition or a frame of mind. In his Essay of Criticism Pope said, True wit is nature to advantage dressed, what off was thought, but ne'er so well expressed. I have a great deal more on my mind than most of you, yet I pride myself in being able to see the humor of a situation and indulge in merriment. I wonder, have you been gifted with a sense of humor? . . ffl YN '1 Ne'I -W 'H 'f me , X , , ,. ff f , wfw 'NIU 5 5 ximian: ,Z f HH' lvl ,ff H 4,54 3-xg-1' 1 X , f wi gig! AMP .
