In reality it is twelve years, but how closely that period of scholas- tic study seems like one day. At dawn, as the sun began to rise slowly in the east, we began our educational career by entering the first grade in elementary schoolg at high noon, as the hot sun beat down upon us and lit the way to a bigger educational field, we were initiated into Junior High School, and iinally, as the sun moves toward the west, we complete four years of high school. We know not what the evening, the unpredictable future, holds in store for us, but wherever we are or whatever we are doing, may this memento, The 1941 Electra , aid in reliving that perfect day. 1941 ELECTBA Dedication MR. C. WALDO JOHNSTON f We, the senior class of IQ4I, wish to dedicate this publication of the Electra', to Mr. Johnston, our teacher and friend, in appreciation of his favors, advice, and support rendered so willingly.

A combination of fear and joy predominated within us. Dreams of the future, hopes for achievement and recognition, fear of impending failure, and desire for new adventure crowded our minds. Although we were soon divided scholastically by the Academic, Commercial, and General Courses, we remained one in spirit. Everyone cooperated in the hope of making our class one of the greatest in the his- tory of Springdale High School. Edward Linderman was chosen president of Student Council. The Patrol System, a system to promote safety and good conduct in the halls as well as on the campus, was successfully put into effect. Assembly programs and clubs added variety to the normal routine of school work. Skates, dances, foot- ball games, basketball contests, and other welcomed activities were the means of diversion and enjoyment for the many who participated in them. When June rolled around we remorsefully took leave of the schoolg with pride we looked back at our accomplishments and with anxiety we looked forward to taking the second great step toward our goal. Better still, we knew we were going to a new school. That meant more acquaintances, greater opportunities, and bigger and better activities. And before we could say, I am a Sophomore like a lonely and lost vesel in a huge ocean, but soon and undertakings at hand like veterans. The ensuing election resulted in the selection of dent, Lenore Hubner, secretary, and Iane Amment. With much enthusiasm and great success we held sponsored a skate. nowv, we were back in school again. At first we felt our ship came in. We cooperated with the problems Ted Allen as president, Beverly Clowes, vice presi- treasurer. a Sophomore dance, and with even greater zeal we When spring overtook us again, we knew that our underdog days were over. With this in mind we re- turned the next year as proud Juniors. This proved to be the busiest year so far. First of all came the all- important election. Once again Ted Allen loomed forward in leadership. In addition, Joe Kuhn was elected vice president and Herbert Dalbow, secretary-treasurer. Then came our contribution to the fine art of drama. The class presented The night of January 16 , a melodrama of court life, directed by Mr. Johnston. To the strains of the Skaters' Waltz the students Hlpped, hopped, and Oh! yes, skated at the Junior Skate held in Blawnox, and everyone turned out in a dancing mood for our dance held in the high school gym. With the coming of spring, the perfume of blossoms filled the air, and the birds sang merrily once more. In this atmosphere, and in the midst of the pomp and splendor of attendants, dancers, and other participants dressed in full regalia, the Queen of the May, June Hankey, was crowned in all her glory. At last came the long awaited moment. The biggest event of our high school career, in the minds of the students. You're right, it was the Junior-Senior Prom. In deep reverie, the dancers waltzed, fox-trotted, and unquestionably jitterbugged to the rhapsodies of Carl Bremer's music. It proved to be a gay and successful affair, and no doubt its memories will linger in many a mind for some time to come. When we returned the next year as all-important seniors, a sense of superiority and dignity pushed through our timid nature. In all earnestness and with great pleasure we undertook the tasks given us, and with this attitude they could not but turn out successfully. Election time rolled around once more. It was a terrible battle. Neck and neck until the last, Ted Allen managed to get five more votes than Bruno Kotwica, to win top honors for the third consecutive time. Bruno, nevertheless, was made vice president and Herbert Dalbow, secretary-treasurer. As month after month passed away, our goal grew nearer and nearer. Before we could realize it, it was Baccalaureate Night. Commencement soon followed. As we solemnly sat there in the paraphernalia distinguish- ing our arrival at our long-sought-after goal, our memories wandered momentarily to the four eventful 'years just completed. Clearly we replayed the exciting football, baseball, and basketball games with the sports heroes-Fajbik, Shoop, Lucas, Simon, Marshall, Kaczkowski, and many others, Gutstanding assemblies and cherished memories of dances, skates, concerts, and other activities passed across our minds. With achievements to the right of us, with accomplishments to the left of us, with good records behind us, and with the world before us, on through the Valley of Learning into a greater adventure, marched the 'triumphant 205.

All summer long we had been basking and playing in the brilliant sunshine and now we were fresh and eager for school. After choosing our courses and being assigned to the proper class rooms, We entered into all school functions with quickening inter- est. Clubs were joined and officers elected. Attractive Weekly programs Were featured and among the more prominent activities Was the annual Freshman Party on Friday, January 13. To top off the year, the class enjoyed itself tremendously on a sightsee- ing excursion to Pittsburgh. September, 1939, introduced us, at last, to the exclusive and rather frightening in- stitution known as Springdale Senior,High School. But the ready friendliness of the upper-classmen and the teachers soon made us feel at home and we quickly settled down to the work of the year. Election results introduced joseph Batcherf as president and james Bailie as vice-president.

Were We not to select a May Queen and Court? Were we not to contribute our share of sports heroes? Iill say we were! No wonder We felt secure in the knowledge of our own importance. To represent us Joseph Batcher was chosen once again. Alex Fetchko as vice president and Betty Ann Condron as secretary-treasurer completed the list of class officers. 3 Actively supported by the other two classes, we prospered financially and en- oyed ourselves greatly at the November dance, known as The Crosstown Hopv.

During our freshman year we had a freshman party on March zoth, a dance on November roth, and a skate spon- sored by QE. On April I9th we took a trip to Pittsburgh and visited many historical places. On September 3, 1940, we entered the senior high school. We spent the first month or so getting acquainted and then in November, when the elections were held, we elected Judson Hawk as the president of our class, Jean Hetrick as vice president, and Ruth McQuiston, secretary-treasurer. On January I7 we sponsored the Mid-Winter Hop. The gym was decorated as a winter scene, including a snow man and all the trimmin's. Mr. Bremer and the S. H. S. Swingsters provided the music for the hop. lr 5 194. M M W' THIRTY-EIGHT in Q a sc is i an 2506-uv ,LECTRA H, sornomonns H WM?

At the beginning of the school term, the varsity members, Betty Myers, veteran of three years, and UProf Marshall and Dick Shoop, veterans of two years, coached and taught more than a hundred students. Finally, from that large group, seven girls and one boy were chosen to join the ranks as cheerleaders. Shirley Hulings, june Hawk, and Anna Dolvin Groomes joined the regular members on the varsity squad, while june Browning, Mae Gumbert, Edythe Sutch, Dorothy Smid, and Russell Montgomery made up the junior varsity squad. Their pep and enthusiasm followed the teams wherever they went, cheering the same in defeats as in victories. Good sportsmanship and a friendly spirit of cooperation resulted from pep meetings in assembly, boniires, pep parades, and a convention, to which all cheer- leaders throughout the valley were invited. With personality plus, enthusiasm galore, and spirits high, this squad led our students in much cheering throughout the year. We can sincerely say that Springdale High School would never be without their cheerleaders and able sponsor, Mr. Lee Corter.

Band 09,3 1, sk The Springdale High School Marching Band was organized by Mr. Carl Bremer eight years ago. In the beginning it was quite small, but through the years it has rapidly increased to forty-five members. The band played at each football game and maneuvered between the halves. They also took part in furnishing the music for all home basketball games and participated in parades that were held in the town and nearby districts. Last fall they were invited to participate in the Armistice Day Parade held in Pittsburgh. The Concert Band was combined with Millvale and West View bands to present a series of three concerts, one at each school. The proceeds from the Springdale Concert were used to buy a new uniform for Mr. Bremer, and to pay for the beautiful orange and black vests, which had been purchased earlier in the year. Rehearsals were held four times a week in which marches and concert selections were studied. During football season the band could be seen rehearsing on the football field. E FORT! SEN EN Dance Band l FO RTY -EIGHT -Af The Dance Band has been directed by Mr. Bremer since its origin and this year he was especially helpful in supplying the students with iine music. This year the instrumental make-up consisted of trumpets, sax- ophones, violins, trombones, a bass horn, drums, and a baritone horn. The Dance Band played for many occasionsg they furnished the music for the assembly programs of the other clubs and classrooms. In January the orchestra presented an enjoyable assembly program, consisting of swing and sweet music. Although the number of dances was limited, every affair was well attended. The Dance Band played for the following: four class dances, an Electra dance, several club parties, and other events. In March this musical organization provided excellent music for the UH. M. S. Pinafore , an entertaining operetta. LECTRA A Cappella Choir f The A Cappella choir consisted of sixty-three members who re- hearsed, under the guidance of Miss Mildred Tait, during the activity periods on Monday and Friday of each week. The members of the group were selected by try-outs. The choir took part in the Winter Concert in December by singing While by My Sheep , a seventeenth century Christmas hymn. Participants in the chorus of the H, M. S. Pinaforeu were chosen from the choir, separate choruses being made up of sixteen girls and boys each. ' As a conclusion to the year's activities, the choir contributed ,an anthem to the Baccalaureate service, and several selections were sung at the Commencement exercises. President .,,...,. .,,....

This year the club was a very important factor in developing the interests of the student body in drama. The basic aims of the group have been to further the aspirations of members in stage and screen productionsg to develop poise by presentations in assembly programsg and to study stage direction. Business was conducted at the beginning of the meetingsg during the latter part dramatizations, assigned two weeks previously, were presented and later discussed. Activities conducted by this organization were as follows: a hi- larious assembly program, a well-attended club party, and the initia- tion for new members who had joined the Dramatic Club. During the second semester, the members became interested in a campaign to purchase furniture for the stage and for the nurse's room. President .....,..,..... ELMA JGHNSTON Vice-President ..r....,...

The club met during the activity pe- riod on Wednesdays, discussed various phases of photography, and gained much experience in developing and iinishing prints in the dark- room. Those camera enthusiasts who had not previously studied that part of photography found it most worthwhile and quite interesting. One of the most profitable projects was the sale of lettered jerseys and sweat shirts. A Picture a Month contest was suggested and club members entered snaps, portraits, etc., endeavoring to secure the honor of first prize.

Because of the opportunity of having some of the various speci- mens brought to club meetings, new interest was created, thereby making the meetings very enjoyable. Credit for displaying these spec- imens was given to Mr. Howard Brown, who exhibited a ringed-neck pheasant, a squirrel, and a pair of ducks, all of which he had mounted. Steve Lucas also helped by showing some of the animals he had trapped. The personnel of the club in the 1940-1941 season consisted of 3 5 members who were very attentive and helpful to the club. The club members all knew that they could not have had a better and more experienced sponsor to guide them than Mr. Herbert Ripper.

JUNE BRowN1No FIFTY-THREE I-Ii-Y FIFTX 1 OLR -k For eleven years the Hi-Y has been an active club of Springdale High School. Its purpose has been to promote better citizenshipg to create fellowshipg and to practice Christianity. The symbol of this organization is a red triangle denoting fellowship, service, and sports- manshipg and a white cross signifying Christianity. This year in Tarentum all Hi-Y Clubs in the Valley assembled at the Y. M. C. A. to form a council. The council consisted of the officers of these Hi-Y Clubs. Its aim was to exchange good ideas that had been proved successful in the various schools. For several years the Hi-Y has been contributing to a fund in order to present a talking movie projection machine to the high schoolg this feat was finally accomplished this year. Other Hi-Y activities included basketball games with other schools, and the presentation of two entertaining assembly programs, one of Which was the appearance of a magician. Late in the spring, the students of Springdale High School enjoyed a carnival in the gym. President .......,,..... ERNEST SHooP Vice-President . , , .... JAMES BAXTER Secretary , , . . .,...

This year it has been under the leadership and guidance of Coach Paul Urik. To obtain membership one must be a member of some athletic team of the high school. The thirty-live members of the club participated in one or more of the following sports: football, track, basketball, or baseball. Some of the functions undertaken by the club were the selling of souvenir programs at the home football games and providing the necessary help for a football banquet, which was held by the members of the football squad. The banquet was a success, partly because of the good music provided by Bobby Brooks and his orchestra. The officers of the club Were: president, Steve Lucas, who was captain of the football teamg Frank Basilone, vice-president, a junior of good standing in all sportsg Paul Lucas, secretaryg and Casimere Wodnicki, treasurer. l l FIFTY FIV E Tri-I-Ii-Y FIF X SIX -k The Springdale Division of the Tri-Hi-Y is a very active part of the school. The purpose of the club is to ceate, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community, high standards of Chris- tian character. The club broadened its program of activity in the 1940-1941 school year in many ways. In October a rally was held in Tarentum which included both the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Clubs. The project for December was sending necessary articles to the Bradley Home in Oakmont. Following this, in january, a Bible Study Course was held under the able instruction of Lenore Hubner, a member of the club. Also in January, the club sponsored an assembly program. On Feb- ruary 28th, a party was held jointly by the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. In addition to these activities, several swims were held at the Taren- tum Y. M. C. A. Credit is given the Tri-Hi-Y Club for keeping the trophy case clean and the trophies polished. To add interest to the weekly club meetings, discussions regard- ing personality were encouraged.

The purpose of the club was to teach the fundamentals of slide rule practice. The only limitations for membership was that members should maintain at least a B average in mathematics. This year the club was continued under the same provisions as the year before. The roster was made up of the following boys, all of whom were new members: J. Kozlowski, M. Frankoff, J. Kuhn, B. Groomes, M. Norris, R. Warosik, and B. Iskovitz. The club was not definitely established until the third month of school, when Berl Groomes was chosen president. It was decided that he be the sole officer of the club. Rapid progress was made in acquiring a knowledge of the use of the slide rule. By the end of the first semester, several of the mem- bers were able to use their instruments in solving rather complicated problems in physics and geometry. The activities of the club did not extend beyond slide rule prac- tice, except for discussions of the possibilities of obtaining a large rule which could be used with greater accuracy in problems involving large numbers. FIFTX SEX EW The Reading Club FIFTY-EIGHT sk The purpose of the Reading Club, organized at the request of the students and sponsored by Miss Stanier, high school librarian, was to interest students in reading and to broaden their reading iields. Kenneth Emmet was elected president, and Frances Kuslock, secre- tary. The meetings were spent mainly in discussions of the books commonly read by the students, of questions such as the comparative value of fiction and non-fiction, of books with special interests such as mystery, adventure, romance, or the lives of famous people. Several hours were taken up in discussing plays and radio presen- tations, the ultimate aim being to learn enough about the public address system and its uses to be able to present a short play for the enjoyment of the entire high school. 194 ELECTRA War Work Club T if The War Work Club, a new organization this year, had a mem- bership composed entirely of girls. The first project undertaken was the knitting of ten-inch squares which were later assembled to make a blanket, The girls who did not know how to knit were taught by those who did. Each member provided her own needles. After each member had turned in a ten-inch square, she was given yarn for a sweater or for a pair of socks. This yarn had been contributed for articles for the Free French Forces under General de Gaulle, at that time stationed in England and for whom the British War Relief So- ciety in New York was undertaking the receiving and transportation of material to Britain. The club also undertook the knitting of articles for the American Red Cross. President ........ . . . HELEN Mossnn Vice-President ..... .....

Under the sponsorship and guidance of Miss Shirley Butler, the Oriole was printed and distributed bi-monthly. Each member of the club con- tributed much time and Work in writing articles for the paper. If their work was satisfactory, these members were awarded pins at the close of the school year. The club sponsored its annual short story and poetry contest to rouse an interest in creative writing among the students. Presentation of an assembly program was included as part of the year's activities. Delegates from the Springdale Journalism Club enjoyed a visit to Vandergrift to attend a newspaper conference. Other social events included a trip to Pittsburgh and ,several hikes and picnics. Selected to lead the club during the year were Loretta Ducoeur as editor-in-chief, and Rose Marie Allias as secretary-treasurer. 194 LECTRA J Electra Staff Editor .........,. .......,.......,..

The affair was bright and joyous, beginning with the processional. This consisted of the queen, her court, and a group of attendants. The attendants were dressed in beautiful gowns and danced a rhythmic waltz. The coronation was rather solemn, with the retiring queen, Emma Reigler, giving up her throne to the new queen, june Hankey. There were dances of all descriptions, ranging from ballet to jitterbug. Also included in the program were games and relays. A May Pole Dance, the iirst in many years, preceded the recessional which added the last touch of beauty to the affair. 194 LECTRA Operetta -k On March twenty-first, the music department of Springdale High School presented the popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta H.M.S.

The High School Orchestra furnished the accompaniments with Evelyn Edlund as pianist. Natalie Hirtle was featured as solo dancer. The interesting stage settings were constructed by the art class and the freshmen sewing classes made the sailor costumes. The National Honor Society and the Tri-Hi-Y also participated, the former conducting the ticket sale and latter providing the ushers. The cast with the able dramatic coaching of Miss Ruth Borland and Musical directing of Miss Mildred Tait and Mr. Carl Bremer deserves much praise for its fine performance. .IXTY -THREE Junior Class Play l SIXTY-FOUR -k The delightful comedy, 'CYoung April , was presented by the junior class on May oth. This play was under the capable supervision of Miss Angeline Sober. Excellent musical entertainment was supplied by the school orchestra before curtain time. The dramatization, which is a sequel of Growing Pains , con-- cerns itself with the constant inter-reaction of parents and teen-age children. The youngest daughter, Terry Maclntyre, played by June Browning, acquires many beaux, almost marries one, but is led to the right one through the kindly intervention of her parents. The older son, George Maclntyre, played by James Keckley, also is occupied with his own troubles concerning the opposite sex. When he discovers that the sweetest girl in the world is only human after all, he is disillusioned for a while. Later he iinds that he still loves her despite everything. The play was enlivened throughout with bits of humor from the whole cast which included Walter Snyder, Jean Malcolm, James Keck- ley, june Browning, Alex Fetchko, Virginia Gunia, Anthony Schultz, Betty Ann Condron, Ted Briski, Natalie Hirtle, Antoinette Cesarino, Walter Wenzel, Wayne Bishop, Genevieve McDowell, Irene Tutak, Raymond Griffith, and William Hussar. 94 LECTRA Girls' Sports Club if The Girls' Sports Club opened the year by having their initiation in the form of a weiner roast at Kerr's Grove. The club's business meetings were conducted on the first Wed- nesday of each monthg the other club days were spent in playing basketball, mushball, volleyball, and various other games. A trip was taken to Pittsburgh during the school year, with the members of the Journalism Club as guests. Another activity of the group was a bowling party, in which the members participated unusually well. As a scheme for making money, the girls sponsored a Lollypop Dayn, and each student was permitted to eat his lollypop during that day's classes. The members were required to abide by a few club rules: they were required to dress in gym attireg and it was necessary to have at least a C average in their subjects and a B in gym.

The aims of the club were: to better the swimming of the stu- dents, to become familiar with life-saving methods, to promote diving, and to enjoy swimming as a recreation. The students spent Thursday evenings at the Y. M. C. A. pool in New Kensington, practicing the various strokes and life-saving methods they had been taught during the Wednesday morning club meetings. The club also devoted much of its time to outside activities. During the basketball season they sold candy to earn money to pay for their club pins and for the privilege of using the swimming pool.

Already established in many high schools and colleges, the members found it quite interesting and worthwhile. The group met during the activity period on Wednesdays. The classroom period was spent in discussing the proper usuage of the bow and arrow, methods for improvement in shooting, and the various phases of archery. Club dues were necessary for purchasing bows and arrows for the group. Later in the year a larger target was purchased by the club. This sport served several purposes: it developed physical and mental coordination, good marksmanship, and proved to be en- tertaining for all the archery enthusiasts. The activities of the group in its initial year were limited to a party and a skateg more is expected to be accomplished next year. President .........,.,. , RAY ERRICO Vice-President .........

ISABELLE HENDRICKSON l SIXTY-SEVEN Baseball SIXTY-EIGHT Q The baseball team of 1940 played great ball. Every player on the squad was in there giving all he had. The team was comprised of a large gathering of rookies, Copcheck and Tabachek being the only two lettermen remaining from the previous year. These two played exceptionally well, others who held their positions securely were Simons, Porteriield, Kaczkowski, and Razdik. Tabachek was the leading hitter of the season. All the games which the S. H. S. bat-wielders lost ended with close scores except the first one against Ken-Hi. The pitching force was Well-trained and the fielding support was excellent, but in these few games the boys just didn't seem to be able to get the hits when they were needed. Springdale was in the running for sectional championship until the last game, which, if won, would have ended the competition in a. three-way tie. Before a huge crowd of excited fans, Porteriield pitched ten innings of some of the best baseball in Springdale's history. The iielding support was very good, but, as usual, the hits didn't come when needed. The game finally ended up in a 1-o victory for Ken-Hi, which ended all championship hopes for Springdale. 194 LECTRA Golf -k In nine years of W. P. I. A. L. sectional competition, the S. H. S. Golf Team has won championships three times. On no occasion has the team finished lower than second place. This year's team was no exception: the completion of the IQ4O season found the mashie and mid-iron artists of the Orange and Black in second place with six victories and two defeats. The team was made up of three veterans, Paul Hafera, Gene Butcher, and Ludwig Kokalg and two rookies, Joe Batcher and Charles Ocvirk. Henry Ferguson substituted for Butcher during a serious illness of the latter. Butcher and Hafera competed in the W. P. I. A. L. Tournament, held at the Youghiogheny Country Club, in which sixty boys, repre- senting thirty schools, took part. Butcher, though showing effects of his illness, captured third place in the Tournament, winning a medal and a much coveted trip to Penn State to take part in the Schoolboy State Championship playoffs. Accordingly, Gene and Mr. Corter, the golf coach, made the journey and were rewarded hand- somely. In the State Tournament, after a slow start, Butcher came on with a rush to fmish with the first ten best schoolboy golfers in Penn- sylvania. The final event of the season was a tournament, sponsored by Shady Side Academy, in which Butcher and Hafera were invited to play. Gladly accepting the invitations, these two lads shot unusually fine golf to finish in a tie for fourth place. l SLYTY-NINE SEVENTY if Coach Paul Urik began his initial football season with an en- tirely new set-up. Using the colorful Notre Dame system of play, he produced a spirited, scrapping team with plenty of determination to win. With Steve Lucas and Ernie Shoop as co-captains, and Frank Basilone and Michael Lenosky as outstanding players, there was al- ways something unexpected happening. The fans seemed to like the team for the attendance at the games was usually very high. When the squad appeared on the field in the new uniforms which they received this year, they were welcomed enthusiastically by the crowd. From the standpoint of games won, however, the season was not especially successful, since the Springdale boys defeated only Etna and Arnold. Several of the losses, including those to Freeport, East Deer, and Oakmont were difficult to accept graciously, although it is conceded that Ford City, Tarentum, Har-Brac, and Ken-Hi were far superior teams, the latter two having a Class AA rating. The eventful football season was brought to a conclusion by an enjoyable football banquet which was attended by the entire squad of players. 194 LECTRA Basketball wk The 1940-41 basketball team of Springdale High School was the hrst to win the W.P.I.A.L. Sectional Championship. The team won all its games in the Section V conference, and lost only four out of twelve non-sectional contests. These were to Ken-Hi, Shadyside C Prep School Champsj, Arnold fWestmoreland County Champsj, and Ava- lon fChamps of Section VID, the last being the W.P.I.A.L. elimination game at Pitt Stadium. The players who represented Springdale on the lloor were five letter-men from the year before, and five new-comers to the squad. They were Simon, Marshall, Ricail, Fajbik, and Kaczkowski, letter- meng and Shoop, Basilone. Hawk, Errico, and Timashenka, new- comers. As a whole the team was rather unique, having its strength evenly distributed instead of concentrated in one or two outstanding players. The players themselves were at a disadvantage in size, being, on the average, the smallest in the section. However, they made up for this in spirit, determination, and team work. They were easy to handle, caused no disciplinary trouble, and really entered the games with the will to win. They were very good ball-handlers and passers and used this ability as much as possible. Also very important was the way in which the second team was able to carry on when Coach Ripper saw fit to put them into the game. He was able, by using the subs whenever possible, to save the iirst team so that they were not worn out by the middle of the season. Al Simon, center and captain, was lost to the team through in- jury, but was placed with Marshall on the second five of the all sectional team. Fajbik, runner up for high scoring in Section V, and Kaczkowski were chosen on the all-sectional five. SEX EVTX ON E. Junior Varsity Basketball SILVENTX TYVO -k The standing of the junior Varsity, as compared with previous years, was not very impressive. Coach Ripper was not concerned over the outcome of the games, but was very anxious to see the boys make improvement. The record shows only 8 victories out of 20 games played, but the experience gained by the boys was invaluable. Each junior on the squad was given a chance at leading the team. At the beginning of each game a junior was chosen to serve as captain. Those included were: Walter Gladowski, Franklin Henry, and Paul Bocko. Lawrence Mitas, a sophomore, led the individual scoring by a wide margin, followed by Charles Muffley and Paul Bocko, re- spectively. By the end of the season this squad of boys showed signs of fair ball-handling, thus serving fully the purpose of the junior Varsity. Varsity Basketball Scores Section V Games S.H.S. Opponent S.H.S.

It participated in only one track meet throughout the whole season. This was the County Track Meet held at South Park. On the squad were several boys who had been on the track team the year before: Eugene Stacey, Stanley Marshall, and Mike Durket. However, the great majority of the members were new-comers who had had very little experience on the field. With D. K. Morrow, the track coach, they worked to learn as much as possible about the sport. They worked on the various events which are included in the activities of a track team. A few attempted to master high jumping and broad jumping, while almost all the boys who tried out for the team participated in one or more of the dashes. Although they tried very hard, they could not get into good enough form to overcome the stiff competition at South Park. Eugene Stacey, who came in second in the Ioo-yd. dash but lost out in quarter finals, was the only one who met with any real success in this meet. The squad includes, left to right, kneeling: F. Vagnozzi, M. Dur- ket, J. Borland, R. Snyder, A. Coccetellag standing: S. Marshall, G. Vuchinich, E. Stacey, T. Castello, A. Novich, A. Fetchko, D. K. Morrow. x l SEVENTY-THREE VENTY-YO 194 .

SEVENTY-NINE EIGH TY SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY wk The car is waiting so why delay any longer. Let us close our eyes and take an imaginary trip down the Broad Highway of the Future to see what the fellow members of the class of '4rl' have become. There We were, sailing along the beautiful highway constructed by the most famous of highway engineers, Steve Lucas. From the Windows of our car, the latest John Przybyla model placed on the market by the James Perroz-Raymond Costello Automobile Company, we could see in the distance Madison City, so named after the heroic submarine captain, James Madison, who with the aid of his radio operator, Milan Duris, saved the crew of his ship from the terrible disaster of death at sea. ' A few minutes later we found ourselves at the gates of Madison City where we were greeted by Police-Chief Ernest Shoop, in the latest police uniform designed by the noted designer, Esther Gensamer. He took us to City Hall where we were greeted by Mayor john Maginn, who expressed his pleasure in our visit, and invited us to make a tour of the city, beginning with luncheon at the Chester Kratz Luncheon Club. The food, tastily pre- pared by chefs Samuel Wiles and August Jursa, was served to us in the Rainbow Room, recently remodeled by the Albert Vidra-john Rusnak Model Building Company, with color scenes by the noted interior decorator, Helen Camanini. This beautiful room was lighted by the latest and best lighting system on the market, invented by the Edison of the class, Edward Pugh. Glancing over the room our eyes fell upon three more of the members of the class of ,4In, Mary Bumberger, world-known novelist dressed beau- tifully in a business suit and wearing the latest hat creation designed by the famed milliner, Monajean Walter. With Miss Bumberger was Regina Theil, writer of poems, and her capable secretary, Frances Laush. Seated at another table we found seven of Uncle Sam's boys, home on a leave: John Vietto, Hyer of the latest type bomber for the United States Marine Corps, Captain Bob Leas of the Navy, Hugh Murray, physical education instructor at Fort Bragg, and draftees Robert Tazzani, Bill Jones, Oresto Angelini, and Bill Westerman who chose to enlist in the army after completing high school. Seated in the corner at a table having their fortunes told by fortune tellers, Vilma Slomany and Kathryn Trempus, we found Mary Edith Bor- land, famed dietician, escorted by William Walters, All-American half-back. Luncheon finished, head waiter Robert Simpson escorted us to the door. Our next stop was to see a professional ball game between the Pitts- burgh Pirates and the New York Yankees at the Alex Kiski Field. Here we found Bill Robovsky, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates up against some stiff competition with John Hanchar, manager of the New York Yankees, aided by Bill Watson. Both teams were at their best with Martin Tabacheck 194 LECTRA catcher and captain of the Pirates, and Walter Kaczkowski as captain of the New York Yankees. The close plays of the game were decided by umpires Walter Hamilton, William Gentile, and john Kurtiak. Among the observers of the game were such notables as sports writer Clair Faith, jungle explorer Dale Beerworth, financier Victor Herman, debutants Arta Mae Schultz and Virginia Rider, Alberta Scharns, heiress to a gold mine with her private secretary, Sylvia Morathg James Baxter, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers with Albin Jarmul, Tabby's right hand man. After the ball game, we found ourselves back in our car headed to see the new Cosmopolitan Hospital, built under the direction of the famed architect, Mitchell Mudlo. Reception nurse Lenore Hubner greeted us very cordially and took us on a tour of the hospital. Whom did we find on the hospital staff list but the great brain specialist, David Pizerg the two promi- nent women surgeons, Dr. Helen Fruncus, and Dr. Maxine Jewartg the eye specialist, Jack Weinfurther, and the chemical expert, David Nagy. On the nurses' staff welocated-day supervisor, Elizabeth Belinsky, night su- pervisor, Helen Kondrickg baby nurse, Josephine Zemenskig and graduate nurses, Wilma Durnovich, Frances Kozel, and Josephine Premick. Other employees of the hospital were: orderlies James Ray and James Parker, hospital secretaries Mary Ann Grebeck, Betty Keller, Tessie Depoli, Rose Marie Moser, and last but not least, jack Cox, president of the hospital board. Our next stop was at the Petite Dress Shoppe , where Manager Ger- aldine Cheeseman welcomed us. Here we found the latest styles designed by Julia Vidmar and Mildred Trautwein. The lovely styles created by Vid- mar and Trautwein were modeled by Dorothy Brozina, Betty Buchanich, Ruth Farrar, and Edith Wells. The store's customers included the famous social speaker, Frances Bulwang Nellie Pentock, secretary to the president of the First National Bank, Carl Staruchg Veronica Onefer of the Onefer- Malesic dancing team, and June Hankey, star of Metro-Goldwyn Mayer's latest musical. Now we found ourselves at the Crosscope Country Club where the International Golf Championship was being played off. The Country Club was named after its owner, Jack Crosscope, who made his money in the to- bacco business. Gene Butcher, Corterfs pride and joy, and holder of many cups, was competing for the International Golf Championship. Butcher won because of his excellent golfing ability and the encouragement given him by such golf professionals as Paul Hafera and Charles Ocvirk. Included in the many thousands who turned out to see the match were two women golf no- tables, Catherine Barowetz and Gertrude Lodi, golf instructor, Henry Fer- guson, the noted dramatist, Beverly Clowes, who thoroughly enjoyed a good game of golf, and Jane Browning and Dorothy Goode, who were touring the country in -Iane's Chevy , On our way to the Lawton Newspaper office, owned by the famed skiing champion Audrey Lawton, we passed Ed Forrester's Men's I-Iaberdasheryn which was patronized by the four best-dressed men of the season, Berl EIGHTY-ON E EIGHTY-TWO Groomes, famed man about town, Harry Pollino, dancing instructor, and Walter Hensel and Pete Martin, who made their millions in the automobile business. Now we were in front of Henry Golavich's Department Store where We found Nellie Valance and Helen Fick employed as buyers, Laveta Covey, Margaret Solomon, Rachel Dalcherone, and Eleanor Sprumont as salesgirlsg Emily Irvine, floor manager, and John Semko and John Miras as shipping clerks. At the newspaper office we discovered Harold Fish as editor and Loretta Ducoeur as assistant editor, with an excellent staff under their direction. Their capable staff consisted of janet Harper, society editor, Ethel Sefton, famed short story Writer, Ed Gall, cartoonist, Mary Dally, news editor, Nick Yaconis, sports writer anxiously awaiting the results of the Charles Armstrong-Carl Kobzi fight, the sport event of the year, and Bill Callahan, reporter and ace photographer, who had just brought in the scoop of the day: Detective Andrew Federinka with the aid of District Attorney Loyal Marshall had solved the Templon Murder-the tragedy of the year. Enroute to Radio Station KDKA, we passed Matthew Grden's under- taking establishment, and the office of Bummy Eckel, the best plumber in the city, said Mayor Maginn. QAnd we take your word for it, Mayorj Then we stopped at the Helen Lukac Super-Market where we found Herbert Dalbow as butcher, Dorothy Semenick, Sadie Spinelli, and Violet Duryea as clerks, and Paul Temoshenko and Raymond Tomaszewski as delivery boys. Our tour couldn't have been complete for the girls if we hadn't stopped at a beauty shop, so we found ourselves in the Westmore Beauty Shoppe owned by Velma Mitko. Manicurists were Betty Bloom and Helen Valka- vich. Operator Virginia Kovatch did an expert job in the facial line. Helen Ketchmere, Margaret Matsko, or Helen Sloyvak were skilled in latest hair- styles, created by Andrew Beresky. We were then received into station KDKA by the studio's receptionist, Helen Locke, who introduced us to our guide john Razdik, john took us first to the control room where we found radio's top-notch engineer, Francis Nery, with his charming assistant, Anna Mae Sorokis. After leaving the con- trol room we were taken to Studio A where studio secretary, jane Amment, introduced us to the cast of the Musicale Hour, who were rehearsing for their next broadcast. Those rehearsing were Ted Allen, famed tenor, and Arminda Moose, Metropolitan Opera Star. Other famous notables on this program were radio's top-notch trio, c'The Three Lovelies , Evelyn Edlund, Shirley Hulings, and Betty Myers, with their accompanist, Mary Lou Si- mon. Louis Mariotti and Walter Terejko, famed accordianistsg and john Motichko, master of harmonica. Guests of honor on the program were Chris- tine Hluska, ballet dancer, and Bertha and Bruno Kotwica, owners of the Metropolitan Opera. The program was under the musical direction of Carl Bochek and in his orchestra we found still more members of the class of FJECTRA '4r'7, outstanding of whom were Eugene Artac, world's greatest trumpet player, and Josephine Holub, world's greatest saxophone player. Looking in on Studio B, we found the Sport's Quiz in progress. What a battle! Betty Rearick, holder of the Women's International Tennis Title, and Melba Jean Shaw, raiser of pedigree dogs which have won many cups, against Al Simons, coach at the University of Pittsburgh, and Leon Ricail, All-American full-back. Mattie Fajbik, well-known sports authority, was Professor Quiz, with his assistants, Helen Necheff and Margaret Simback. The program was sponsored by the Bell Telephone Company where we found Elsie Wilson, Doris Eckhardt, and Loretta Nolan employed as telephone operators, and Mary Turka as secretary. Before our last stop which was the Madison Municipal Airport, we toured Madison University where we found Melvin Norris, professor of mathematics, Joe Kuhn, master of physics with his charming assistant, Vio- let Simons, Elma Johnston, dramatic instructor, Melba jean Stepp, in- structor of vocal music, Marie Brown, English supervisor, and Edward Linderman and Eugene Stacey, authorities in electric engineering. The pres- ident of the college proved none other than the Einstein'i' of the class of K' ,4In, William Nypaver. After thanking Mayor Maginn for such a lovely day, we found our- selves at the airport where we were to take a plane and fly back to the present from this lovely land of the future. Our plane, the new Lewis Meck- ley liner wasn't due for an hour, so we had dinner in the Airway Hotel. Waitress Dorothy Brozek showed us to our table, and our orders were placed in the hands of Sophie Latas. While waiting to be served we saw Norma Krumpe, whose lovely voice took the country by storm, entering the hotel with the new Bing Crosby, George Zalepa. At another table we found Hazel Stepp, famous woman flying instructor, Ann Yute, happy because she had achieved her greatest ambition of flying, Goldie Krager, airline hostess, and Frances Smid, recently named Queen of the Airways. Dining at another table were Wallace Dreher, famous drummerleader, Ann Saldari and Eleanor Strawoet, dancing stars of the stage, and BroadWay's greatest comedian, the one and only Charles Durand. On our way out of the hotel we passed Esther Allasia, private secretary of the president of United Statesg Leo Garrigan, the airport's weather man, Emma Golya and William Romanko, Hollywood's newest dance team. After mechanics Charles Walmsley and Frank Olearchick checked over the plane we found ourselves flying back to the present with Ted Shkuratoff as pilot, LaVerne Shannon as co-pilot, and Emily Cassol as hostess.
