My! We thought We were great since it was our first year in high school. It didn't take long for everyone to become acquainted. Everyone cooperated with one another in all activities of the school. Robert Hendrickson was elected president of the Student Council. The Dramatic Club put on a play entitled Auntie Up , in which some of our seniors got their first real acting experience. This play was sponsored by Mr. Johnston. Sooner than we expected, we were sophomores in the senior high school. The first few weeks we could do nothing but try to learn the customs of this new school. Finally, we began taking part in skates, dances, and other activities. Another school term went by and we found ourselves juniors, looking for- ward to the Junior-Senior Prom. We held a. dance and a skate which turned out to be very successful. A Cookie Sale , sponsored by Miss Tomlinson, was a great help to the junior treasury, the Shako twins themselves selling about one hundred and twenty-five dozens of cookies. We bade farewell to the seniors to the swaying tunes of Barrie Blue. At last! Seniors! We had a very active senior class. Rudy Fricioni was elected president of our class. Four members of the class were chosen to go to the Annual Conference of the Pennsylvania Association of Student Participation in School Government. held at DuBois, Pennsylvania. ' One of the first gala affairs was the senior play entitled Seven Sisters , directed by Miss Borland. In every social activity, the seniors took part. Finally, the year rolled around to our Class Night. On this day we turned back to the memories of our good old school days. Then came the Baccalaureate Service, and most important of all, our Commencement Exercises, withmany sad memories. This probably was the last time the whole senior class of '39 would meet as a group.

It was then, it seemed to us, that one of the most important moments of our lives had come before us, for at that time we chose our different courses which were to us like dark and winding trails into the deep jungle of wisdom. The academic course! The commercial course! The general course! They sounded like years of drudgery and hours on concentrated study. Then two hundred and forty-four freshmen in September, 1936, began to cross the great mountains of knowledge that loomed ahead of them. The journey was long and the path full of obstacles, but knowing that others had gone before them gave them courage to carry on. After a school election, William Brown was elected president of Student Council, with Patsy Wenzel assisting him. Our ninth grade assemblies proved well worth the time and effort spent in their preparation and production. During the year we enjoyed plays, moving pictures, and speakers. Many a fellow-elassman shivered in his shoes while displaying for our pleasure his attempt at dramatics. To break the monotony of pencils and books, we formed clubs a11d held regu- lar meetings. They were sponsored by the faculty and provided pleasant hours of recreation and diversion. Before we knew it, the year had rolled around and it was vacation time. As we paused for a moment 's meditation, we felt the year l1adn't been such a trying one after all. Back we went in September! We found ourselves trodding up Colfax Street to the High School building. What a different feeling we had being among juniors and seniors! Last year was fresh in our minds with its pleasant memories, but now we were sophomores, books would be deeper, classes more complicated, and we could picture ourselves studying far into the night. When football season came rolling we could yell Urah-rah-rah with much more enthusiasm since boys of our own class played on the team. Those outstand- ing players were: Adams, Caylor, Forrnento, Fritz, Kaezkowski, Lochrane, Lon- don, Mellon, Pettruny. and Timashenka. Since we were sophomores, we were capable of sponsoring a class skate and a dance. Both turned out to be successful. The sophomore class officers were none other than William Brown, Patsy Vlfenzel, and Hugh Lochrane. Before we knew it, basketball season was in the air. Our representatives in this sport were well worth mentioning. The following players were: Brown, Dalcherone, Glomb, Kaczkowski, and Wrable. Spring fever was in the air! All one needed for proof was a glance at the study halls. After spring came vacationtime once again. There we were, halfway through our high school education. We thought our freshmen year went fast but our sophomore year went faster. VVe looked back over the year with a feeling of satisfaction and contentment. Vacation was over! lt was September! VVe were grown-up juniors! Those were among the many realities we were facing as we began another year in the high school. PAGE THIRTY FOUR 11939 tContinuedj NVe were the largest junior class in the history of the high school, with one hundred boys and one hundred and six girls. . Thirty-six of this total of two hundred and six students took the academic course, ninety-eight students chose the commercial division, and the remaining seventy-two took the general course. The class elected as its officers Robert Caylor, president, Irene Trobiani, vice-president, and Jennie Pontano, secretary-treasurer. Each group elected class officers of which the president and vice-president represented them at Student Council Meetings. They were as follows: 11A, Alex Pate, Faustine Koprivnikar, Betty Hulings, 11B, Dorothy Trew, Alex VVatson, Anna Mae Drum, 11C, Connie Collins, Joe Zilla, Helen Carnahan, 11D, Jennie Davis, Margaret Momberger, Marian Pernarg HG, Frances Makovac, Frank Rush, Betty Smidg 11F, Pete Kandziolka, Mary Yawarski, Stella Federinka. The class had continued to remain well represented in sports. The gridiron stars were, in addition to those of last year, Brown, Grottenthaler, Strama, and Zilla. They worked with the seniors and sophomores, helping to make the season a successful one. In basketball the newcomers who made themselves noteworthy were Caylor and Copcheck. Putting that ball right through the hoop was merely pastime for some members of the team. On the track team, Brown, Durket, Keckley, Marshall, and Pettruny proved worthy of their position. Junior Class band members have done their part whether it was 'tpounding out the down-beat or cooperating in the production of a concert. Those Musi- cal-Melodiers were: Grooms, Gumbert, Hull, Manconi, McCutcheon, and Thimons. The bumps and bruises suffered by amateur skaters were not even given a second thought at the junior class skate held at Blawnox in October. The event proved successful. b Then in December, to the golden notes of the' High School Dance Band, the students tripped the light fantastic. Paul Whiteman may have said Swing is not Music-, but do the students like to swing it? At last ! The event that every junior boy and girl had waited for. the Junior- Senior Prom. This was a gay and successful afair due to the cooperation of both classes. Looking back over three years' progress, we find it memorably pleasant rath- er than dull and boresome. Due to cooperation of students and teachers, our classes were made brighter, our studies interesting, and our general high school life a much happier one. NVe have almost reached the clearing in the tangled jungle of wisdom. And it was with a tear in our voice that we left for our summer vacation, for we knew that was the last time that we would leave to return again. Norma SHAW.

So with plans for our Senior year, Join in, every lad and lass, Let us raise our voices in chorus strong, With three cheers for the Junior Class. MARGARET ABEL The Electra PAGE THIRTY-SIX 1939 SOPHUMORES The Electra Sophomore Class History When the school bell rang on September 6, 1937, a group of wide-eyed girls and boys assembled on the premises of the School Street School. These were Springdale's new freshmen. There were some two-hundred and eighty of us. The school year started with a bang . As freshmen we did not do very much, but We did help in all the school activities and school spirit. As soon as the novelty of the thing was over we settled down to hard Work and before long our accomplishments became noticeable. After much considera- tion We finally came to the conclusion that Edward Linderman was the one to guide us through our freshmen year of high school. As sophomores we found ourselves in the Senior High School. At once we organized our class, choosing the following officers: President ........... ...... ' FHEO ALLEN Vice-president .... .. ......... BEVERLY CLOWES Secretary ,,,.......... ....... L ENORA HUBNER Treasurer ,...... ......... J ANE AMMENT To the field of athletics we contributed quite a few boys, among whom were Howells, Shoop, Lucas, Kaczkowski, and others. Ourpsocial activities included many skates, dances, and other enjoyable enter- tainments. No one ever needs to have a doubt in his mind as to this sophomore class, as We shall do everything in our power to uphold the fine rating of Springdale High School.

PAGE EORTY-FOUR 1939 FRESHMEN The Electra Freshman Class History It was 8 :30 on the morning of September 6, 1938. that the Freshman Class of 1938 made its debutg one hundred thirty-five boys and one hundred forty-three girls came from all directions, by automobile. bus, foot, or any other possible means, to the little ole school on School Street. Two hundred seventy-eight of them made their way from Springdale, Harmar, Frazier, Indiana, and VVest Deer townships and Cheswick Borough. All were determined from the very first day to make their class a great one. Ot' the two hundred seventy-eight, ninety-two are from Springdale. Algebra seemed to be one of the favorite subjects. One hundred eighty-four students took algebra, sixty-six studied Latin. and one hundred forty-nine re- ported to commercial classes. For the first time individual classes entertained in the assemblies. Many in- teresting programs were presented. At the close of the first semester the classes voted on the one program which they considered the best. The winner was 9A, who presented a series of sketches written by members of the class. 9B came out second and 9F was a close third. The class is attempting to produce a newspaper solely for freshmen. The paper has been entitled This and That . lf it is successful they intend to leave it to on-coming freshmen. A Junior Court of Honor, made up of eight ninth grade girls, was organ- ized for the May Day exercises. The ninth grade party held on January 1, was enjoyed very much. Miss Mellon provided us with lots of good food, while Mr. Blair kept us busy with some lively games. The orchestra directed by Mr. Bremer gave us plenty of good dance music. The entire freshman class took a trip to Pittsburgh on May 19, 1939. AGNES LIOTTA. PAGE FORTY SIX ,. W ,, .-'. Q' J: tx :gil i Qi pg Q R egg 4 N ,B ,f ,MY 5 1 . gs . A4 tw A W.

Coach Ripper, with only four regulars from the 1937 season as his nucleus, fashioned a heavy line in front of a very light backield. Many people believed that if the season had been longer Springdale would have had fewer defeats. The games with Har-Brac, Tarentum, and Arnold, Springdaleis bitterest rivals, were lost through the team's lack of experience The spirit of the team and the way the players got along together was about the best Coach Ripper has had in many seasons. NVhen the team lost a game one would have thought they had won itg their enthusiasm and singing Cyes, football players can singj was not dampened one bit, and those players who were called regulars or near-regulars did not make the scrubs feel in- ferior to them. Oh! yes, football rlayers can d mee and get along with girls, for they held a football party at the close of their season with eats and music furnished by the high school. All had a good time, including those of the faculty who attended. Next year coach is looking forward to a better offensive team. PAGE FIFTY e Electra 51939 'l'he cheerleading squad this year was one of the most experienced that S.Il'.H has ever had. The cheerleaders included Marvin Sleppy, who was head ot' the group, -lean Heasley. Lavonna Tucker, Louise lVelch, and Audrey Mor- gan. All these people had had at least one year of experienceg Jean Heasley and Marvin Sleppy had three years of training. To be chosen as a cheerleader. one must respond to a call for volunteers and report ready for practice. After several weeks of work, the sponsor, Mr. Uorter, and the regular members ot' the squad start the process of elimination. Conferences are held and the final result is posted. The same system was used to select the Junior High School cheerleader. t'heerleadiug duties consist of cheerleading in assemblies, at football games, at basketball games, and at many special occasions. Preparing songs and cheers is also part of the regular routine. Letters are given by the school to compensate for the participation in the year's activities.

Twelve games were won and twelve lost. ln every game but one had a. chance to win going into the last quarter but seemed unable to stage a final rally. They finished in fourth place in Section T and were eliminated in the A. K. Tournament by Vandergrift in one of the hardest-fought games of the Tournament. Owcar. Howells. and Brown led the scoring aided by Kaczkowski and Hendrickson. lfajbik showed a lot of promise for next year. Under the leader- ship of Captain Howells. a reputation for good sportsmanship was established.

Here is the group of artists of the greens and fairways who will carry the colors of S.H.S. in the golf wars of 1939. Golf, as a competitive sport, is in its seventh year at our school. Over this period, Springdale golf teams have engaged more than twenty different teams representing other schools in tl VV ie estern Pennsylvania region. S.H.S. golf teams have always carried off a fair share of victo ' ear A ries over the span of the y s. s a matter of record, no Springdale golf team has ever finished its season with fewer victories than defeats. On several occasions, teams or individual team members have achieved championships in golf competition. The playing personnel of the golf team is made up of the five men who, by their skill, have achieved the lowest medal scores and successfully stood off all challenges at match play in pre-season intra-team competition. Those boys not qualifying for one of the first five places are continued on the squad as caddies and, in such service, acquire valuable experience for future try-outs A manager, an assistant manager, and a s c '- - e p insoi coach complete the personnel. The 1939 team has been selected from the boys who are pictured above: Louis Butcher and Gene Butcher are veteransg John Ferguson, Paul Hafera, Albert Klimenko, and Ed Mareka have had squad experience, but have not been tested in match competition. Ludwig Kokal, Vllillard Kelly, and Ben J armul are new to the squad this year. Lawrence Armstrong is a veteran manager. Henry Golavich will try out for assistant manager. Mr. Lee Corter is rounding out his seventh year as sponsor-coach. The team looks to the future with hope and confidence that it will b b to continue the hi h 't ' ' e a le g s andards set by former S.H.S. golf representatives. PAGE FIFTY-FOUR ...E1939 Baseball in high .schools has been staging a revival in recent years. In 1937, S.H.S. had its first team since 1929 when it won the section champion- ship. Last year the W.I'.I.A.L. had 44 teams in action. This year there will be more. In 1937, S.H.S. lost to Har-Brac in a playoff after the section ended in a tie. Last year 119385 the team not only won the section but continued to win through eliminations until just and McKeesport remained. In this final game, played at Forbes Field after the Pirate-Giant game, our boys seemed unable to play their best and lost, 5 to 0. This year the prospect of another strong team looms ahead. Three regu- lars were lost from last year's team. They were Korpany, Hickey, and Balay. It is hoped that their shoes can be filled, and that the team will continue its success. Joe Marino led the batters with highest average. Jack Hastie was especi- ally tough with men on bases. Korpany featured his long drives. Few high schools could boast of' two pitchers like Ed Owcar and George Husar.

Member- ship is limited to approximately thirty girls and an attempt is made to have at least two representatives in each gym class. New members are admitted at the beginning of each school year. Girls in the club perform such duties recording attendance, checking clean uniforms and shower numbers, taking care of equipment, and assisting generally at the beginning of the semester. This year they have served as ushers and assistants for the various school 's presentations such as plays and operettas. Members are often called on to referee inter-class athletic games, act as time-keepers, and linemen. Meetings are held once a week during the activities period under the di- rection of the club sponsor, Miss Lucy Conn. At this time, the girls learn rules and technics for such games as tennis, paddle tennis, basketball, mushball, volleyball, deck tennis, and shuftleboard. These girls then assist the physical education instructor in the gym classes in teaching other girls how to play these games.- Officers of the club for this year include Mary Sabatini. President, Ruth Wilson, Vice-president, and Mary Hudak, Secretary.

PAC E l1'lF'I'Y-SEVEN The Electra in The Aquatic Club met on Thursdays. All members took an active part in the club whether it was a regular business meeting or a discussion relating to life-saving or swimming. The discussions were centered around swimming, diving, water safety, and life-saving techniques. O11 Thursdays, from 5:30 to 6 :45, the club swam at the New Kensington Y. M. C. A. All members improved their swimmingg some learned new strokes, and others developed their strokes and kicks. Everyone learned to dive. On April 28, the club held its skate at Blawnox. The skate was a success.

PAGE SIXTY-THREE The Electra The Dance Club. under the sponsorship of Miss Tomlinson. was the largest club in the school. having a membership of two hundred and forty students. The club inet during' the activities period every Monday morning, in the gym- nasium. The astonishing' thing' was that more boys than girls belonged to this club. The aim of the Dance Club was to teach not only the fundamentals of dancing' but also social manners. The students were eager to learn to dance. and were quick to follow the instruction given them. It was fun for them right along with their work. First they were instructed about the basic and simplest steps. gradually taking' up more complicated dances as they became less stitt' and self-conscious. Many members were soon doing' such dances as the shag. the box Shuflie, and the Lambeth Yvalk before many weeks had passed. Xvith such Successful and Wide- spread results. we know that the Dance Club will continue. 1-gcpsucmy FOUR Q l- 1939 'l'his was the second year for this clnb in our school, and it has proven a great success.

Ilelen liott, Pauline 'Whitico, Anna Kobolka, Helen Varhola. and Lucy Vali- ccnti-has made it possible for many students of the high school to learn to dance. and therefore to enter into many social activities they would otherwise have missed. The percentage of students who attended the school dances this year was nina-h greater than that of any previous year. YVe hope the fine work of this club will continue in order to give the students a chance to get the full benefit ol' dancing' in the high school. line to the large inenxbership, the clnb was divided into four groups, each group having' a course of nine weeks. In this way, more attention was given to each student. 'l'he music for thc dancing' was furnished by the high sehool's radio vic- trola, later replaced by the public address system which was niado possible by i ' t the ninsical coinedy.

The latter proved very interestingr. and was made especially so by our able teacher, Mrs. Jamison. ln December, we turned our attention toward helping: to make fllll'lSl'lll?lS a. joyous time for the children at the Bradley Home in Oalcmont. XVlll'll the time came for the presentation of the Senior Play, the Tri-Hi-Y was on hand to advertise and help put it over. ln doing these things, we did not neglect the field of social activities. Early in October, we attended the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Rally at Tarentum. A skate, two dances. swims, and a sled-riding' party successfully shared the lime- light in the Tri-Hi-Y social parade.

The platform of the club is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, clean liv- ing, and a contagious Uhristian character. The club has the familiar triangle to signify the true meanings and ideals for which we stand. The left side of our triangle reminds us of our physical body, which we must keep clean, for it. is the temple of the living soul. The right side of our triangle reminds us that we have intelligence, and that we must exercise it in keeping our thoughts clean. The third side reminds us of our spiritual nature, as a triangle cannot be complete without its third side, so also our lives cannot be truly complete unless we unite our physical and mental natures with spiritual things. It must be our highest goal in life. May we carry this prayer upon our lips: t't'reatc, within me a Clean Heart, Oh God. and renew a right Spirit within me. The Ili-Y is an active branch of the Y. M. C. A. The fact that the Spring- dale Hi-Y is a crowd of hard-working fellows is proven by their work in the school and the record of their fine work in the Uentral XVest branch of the State Organization This club sent seven members to the annual Older Boys' Con- ference held this year at Oil Uity.

New members were elected and at present there are forty-seven members in the club. Students are elected to be members of the club on the four points of the organization. which are character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The emblem ot' the National Honor Society is the Keystone and the Ham ing torch. The keystone bears at its base the letters: HC. US, li, and H S , which stand for thc four cardinal principals of the club. The flaming' torch is symbolical of our purpose to bear forward the searching' light of truth, to lead so that others may follow in the light. and always keep burning' in our school a high ambition for the enduring' values of life. The club has worked to publish a handbook as their major project this year. Each month the National Honor Society plans some activity to enter- tain the club members. lVe have held a skate. several parties. and sponsored a movie.

The play revolved around Mrs. Gyurkovics, a soldier's widow, to get hus- bands for her three eldest daughters. In order to do so, she subtracted one year from all of her daughters, ages, thinking as she did, that they would be more likely to make good Hcatchesw. Mitzi, a little minx, through her amusing antics, almost upsets her mother 's well-formed plans, but she really proved a big help to her sisters. It was through her etforts that her sisters were able to get husbands. One married a colonel, one a lieutenant, and one a baron, but the crowning glory was reached when Mitzi married the son of a well-to-do family. Hilarious, romantic, and comical all aptly describe Seven Sisters . PAGE SEVENTY SIX 21939 Of all the functions presented at Springdale High School, the annual musical comedy.
