Just as those lovers of adventure struqqle to reach the summit of the mountains, so do the students seek to reach the peak of their qoal. The slips and pitfalls which confront us are eventuallq overcome as qradf uation dau approaches. if the reflected picture is true, and the 1931 Sivissvalian proves a source of pleasant memories and reminise cences of hiqh school daqs, then the stab' editors shall have scaled their mountain .

Kelso, superintendent of the Swiss- l vale schools and acting principal of the high school, has been prominent for a number of yea1's in edu- cational work both in Swissvale and VVestern Pennsylvania. Capable and understanding, he is admired and respected by the entire student body. A good sport himself, Nlr. Kelso backed up the high school teams in the various sports and has shown his interest by his presence at practically every game during both the football and basket- ball seasons. But athletics is just one of the many activities of the high school that receives lVIr. Kelsols whole-hearted support. Constantly encouraging QHARIAES Q 145150 the students towards higher scholastic attainment, lldr. Kelso has untiringly devoted his efforts to helping the students to see their own way. Carl S. Baily, assistant to the superintendent, is also a real favorite of the student body. Seven years ago, Mr. Baily's name was added to the list of faculty members of Swissvale High School as head of the chemistry and physics classes. Here he certainly proved his mettle. A teacher who en- joys his work is usually successful and there is little doubt but that lVIr. Baily had a better time teach- ing than he sometimes has when forced to settle problems of discipline, administer justice or upo- lice the halls. Nevertheless hir. Baily has loyally served the school for the past two years as assistant to hir. Kelso, and he is so prolicient in this new field that 'tis feared he will never teach again. To hold a position of responsibility, to more than satisfy the requirements of that position, and yet to remain the friend of practically everyone with whom he has ' any contact, is Nlr. Baily's record. .if rjjj l13l Mx l4l 4 QQ X Y W Q s as wi IL rw .- ' ,1,1gA '. ek W ' ' f f, j !5 ' I .. 'J wwf. ,- 4-Aim, ,. .. ,x wx va . -21-11 'Fw Q-,F 'L ' E N g yShb3A...g,1 1, ,A , tx VXI!

President JOHN SAVAGE . l'ire-President KATHERINE ANDERSON . Sefretary Joseen RENNER ........ Treasurer In September l927, came the biggest moment in many a young boy's and girl's life-entering high school. Ah, the wonder of it, the entirely new experience of being grown up and really being worthwhileg but alas, we were snubbed by the Soph- omores, laughed at by the Juniors, and made fun of by the Seniors. Undaunted, however, we started our climb up that steep mountain path of knowledge. After one long year of waiting and hoping, we at last became sophisticated Sophomoresf' As wordly-wise Sophomores we took part in the activities of the school and battled through quite a number of storms in the way of tests, office calls, and reprimands from various teachers, besides holding our own with the upper classmen. By the time we were Juniors we had become quite used to getting over the ob- stacles which were forever appearing--trying to make us fall or give up, but by this time we were determined to 'istick till the end. VVe have now become staid, dignified Seniors. VVe are beginning to realize that it is the end of school for some while others are going up to higher planes of knowl- edge. VVhat a feeling we have as Seniors, quite superior to our underclassmen and very important in the school's activities! Hard work coupled with good, clean fun make the life of a Senior the hope of all youths. YVe have also reached the heights of the high school mountainu and in the last stage of our climb we have enjoyed another championship boys' and girls' team and a Kid party. Baccalaureate, Senior Assembly, Class Night, and Commencement complete our Senior activities. VVe are glad to graduate and to know that one of our hopes has come trueg yet we regret to leave good old Swissvale High. Here's wishing all the succeeding classes a landslide of success.

I turned and whom should I see but a native dressed as an Alpine guide. He said his name was hfleredith and that he knew the best paths over the mountain and would be glad to lead me. I accepted his offer and we started out. VVe passed a small school where the boys were playing a game of ball. HSee those fellows there, said my guide and pointed to two young men who '-seemed to outclass the others in their ability to play. They are our future 'LAll Swiss football players, Rogers and Gascoignef' Farther up the trail we met a young man whom the guide stopped and intro- duced as the best yodler in that part of the country. I-Iis name was hIiller. NVe passed through a small village and while we were there we watched an exciting game of basketball. hfleredith introduced the players as Casillo, Lucas and Fullen. 'lVVe have some girl athletes, too, said the guide. MI-Iere come three of our best right now. The tall one is Kizzie Ann Benner and the other two are Warrena Lee and Jennie Donachyfy VVe still had some time left so we visited the theater where NIacbeth was being given. It seems that hleredith knew some of the players and he pointed out a few of them. Margaret Shultz and Richard Packer I remembered distinctly because of their outstanding performance. Bly guide then told me that he was due at orchestra practice, so I accompanied him thither. Included in this great orchestra were Ellwood Rushworth, conductor, and Alvin Bailey, pianist. The trip had been delightful but there was one thing I could not understand and that was, how my guide could possibly know all these famous persons. I ques- tioned him, and he was pleased to inform me that they had all gone to Swissvale High School together back in 1931. 'Lll 1 E. 1 O Ai 1 - t .,,,,-. - Y 1 ' A. 1 1351 , 522-,. 6,7 xy!

Treasurer From obscure little Freshies to quite prominent Sophomores, that has been the progress of our class. When we entered high school in the fall of 1929 few of us thought that in one short year we would be considered a part of the upper elassmenf' But what class wouldnlt be a success with Bliss Laing as sponsor? The Sophomore class has taken quite a prominent part in school activities this year. To begin with, there was the Valistic play, Zaraqueta, with Jane lVIaranda and Alvan Foraker carrying away honors for the class. Then we were well represented in athletics with Ross Ernriclc, Nowak, George Jurkowitz and Edward Loughran who showed us some great playing in football or basketball. Last, but not least, was the never to be forgotten class party on Nlarch 7. VVhat a success it turned out to bel I am sure that all those who attended it are sorry that it is all over because we certainly had fun. Now, d0n't you think that we have done something to be really proud of? We sincerely hope that we may accomplish just as many things in the future so that Swissvale High will be proud of us. The Sophomores with an average of 9024 or above in all their subjects during the first semester were Josephine Bon, Beverly Brown, Cora ,lean Hague, lVIargaret Nlarcellus, John O'Grady, Andrew Pommer, Eugene Salinger, Edithe Shallenberger, Leah Stark, Olga Stuart, and Gertrude Travis.

On the first day of school we were here at eight o'clock. After the initial rush to the auditorium, lVIr. Baily had us transferred up to the Freshman quar- ters. Although in this world we live in a separate existence, we are still considered a part of the student body. We show this most of all in our enthusiasm about school sports, and in our admiration for the heroes and heroines who are making such a fine showing. After a while we no longer needed to use our schedules as Compasses, and the nov- elty of being a Freshman has worn off. We even carry school home to Mother and wor1'y her by turning her cupboard into a laboratory, or by upsetting the pantry in searching for an oat-meal box to use for a pin-hole camera. What do you mean by keeping this piece of moulded bread in the cupboard all this time ? she would ask. But, lldother, we have to do that as an experiment for general science, was the explanation of the ambitious Freshman. During the seige of the Last of the Mohicans, Mother had to put up with soap shavings which fell from sculpture projects. Some families have even reported that certain Freshmen have been heard conjugating Latin verbs and solving algebra problems in their sleep. Perhaps the upper-classmen may feel that our support does not mean much, but do we not express to you our school spirit by the way in which we sing the Alma Mater ? The Freshmen whose average for the first semester was 9022 or above are: Anna Frank, Joseph lVIcCloskey, William Mc-Iunlcin, Ray Nordstrom, Helen O'Brien, Alexander Paharik, Susan Soyak, Lois Stewart, Ma1'ion Thompson, Kenneth VVieand.

Langhalli, Mgr. Football In the squad of over sixty boys who reported for the first grid practice early in September a new spirit was evident. This was a spirit of determination and willing- ness to fight which had been lacking in Swissvale High's football squads in the last few seasons. After two weeks of hard, earnest training, E. T. Paulie, in his second year as mentor of S. H. S. athletics, cut the squad to about forty interested, hard-lighting boys. Having six letter men from last year's team and some good prospects, the coach was able to form a team strong enough to down the scrapping Rankin eleven 1+ to 0, in the opening game of the season at Dickson field. The next game, played with Turtle Creek Union, brought out the blue and gold's fighting qualities although it resulted in a 19 to 0 defeat. At Nlunhall, the Swissvale gridsters came from behind in the fading moments of the Hnal period to score a touchdown, add the extra point, and overcome a six point advantage the Munhallites had gained in the initial period on a break, winning their second game by a 7 to 6 score. l51l vn- 1, 1 nm :H - Tfjfjz ' 1 4 rv. , fr., '. . ,?1,..:m'.,. In the opening moments of play, in the game with Duquesne at Dickson Field, the following week, Duquesne succeeded in rushing the ball over the Swissvale goal line for seven points. Although the Swissvale team fought desperately to overcome this lead, neither team could score throughout the remainder of the well-played game and the Hnal count stood 7 to U in favor of Duquesne. Playing their first night game the following week, with Scot: High of North Braddock, the team seemed to lose their morale and suffered their worst defeat of the season, losing by a 46 to 0 score. The team lacked the power and determination which had been so evident in the Duquesne ame. Hllflaybe it was the li fits? xg g The local boys came back the next Saturday to win from the peppy Trafford team, in a fast, well-played game by 12 to 7 points. To make their second consecutive victory, the Swissvalians downed the red and greyu Braddock High team. The wearers of the 'Lblue and gold pushed over a touchdown for six points near the close of the first half and these proved to be the points which meant victory. ' On Thanksgiving day the Swissvale eleven again was turned back by Edge- wood, on snow-covered Koenig Field, when the under-rated Edgewood aggregation, late in the final period took advantage of a short punt and pushed the ball over the Swissvale goal line for six points and victory. The game was marred by the great number of fumbles caused by a thin coating of ice which made holding the ball almost an impossibility. The season, although not as successful as was hoped for, was the best which the local eleven has played in quite a few years. The team won four, tied one, and lost four games which would mean that they split even with their opponents. By I52l N 53 defeating Rankin, Braddock and Rlunhall the Swissvale boys won the Press Trophy for the Independent District High Schools. The regular banquet was not held this year but the Rotary Club played host to the squad at a luncheon. Elmer Layden, one of Notre Damels famed Four-Horse men and present coach at Duquesne University, was the principal speaker. He gave a very interesting talk on Pep, what is it? Gold footballs, the emblem given to seniors who have earned their SH in both their junior and senior years, were presented to Joe Renner, Peck VVhitehead, and Shan Cohen. Letters were also awarded to these three and to Novak, lVIatelan, Ross Emrick, Casillo, Jurkowitz, Rogers, Gasgoigne, Anderson, Sullivan, Lindsay, Lang- ham and Bailey. Joe Renner, who certainly did his part in making the season the success it was, was elected honorary captain. Prospects for an even more successful season this fall are bright since, besides having thirteen lettermen back, Coach Paulie has quite a few boys who .were not award- ed letters but can be counted on to give serious opposition for a varsity berth.

He was seldom stopped going through the line and proved a tower of strength on the defense. 2. HARRY WHITEHEAD-'31, end, small but fast, got down under punts and always played a hard game. 3. SHANDER COHEN-'31, center, gifted with size and strength, was one of the reasons why the enemy seldom gained through the center of the line. . 4. CHARLES CARLSON-'33, halfback, fast and fighty, could pick the holes out in the line and was always a dependable player. 5. JAMES CASILLO-'33, halfback, proved to be a scoring threat and won many a duel with his punting. 6. THOMAS ROGERS-'32, end, large in structure, could always be depended upon to do his part in everything. 7. MAURICE GASCOIGNE-'32, center, after being changed around in the lineup, finally found his position at center and there he played a brilliant game. 8. JESSE TAYNTON-'32, guard, could always be depended upon to hold his own with an opponent as any of them would tell you. 9. ALVIN BAILEY-'32, tackle, was injured in the game with Turtle Creek and was unable to play the rest of the season but would have been a big asset to the team. 10. JOSEPH SULLIVAN-'32, guard, had plenty of fighting spirit and usually gave his opponent plenty to worry about. 11. GEORGE JURKOVVITZ-'33, tackle, a strong defensive player, played a whale of a game against Braddock. 12. CLARENCE ANDERSON-'33, tackle, although handicapped by injuries, showed flashes of his real ability as a tackle. 13. ROSS EMRICK-'33, halfback, was featured in open-field running and was feared by the opposing team. 14. JERRY MATELAN-'33, quarterback, played a good offensive game and showed his ability as safety man. l55l 1 f. 17 '1'x. 1 Aw- VH! 1 ffm-f Y- Q-'H'-' --- W if---.V ,L ..,,- --:. ..

Girls' Basketball For the second consecutive year, the Blue and Gold Sextet, coached by Miss Mac Leod, has emerged triumphantly as champions of the Independent County League, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Press. The local league is composed of teams from Braddock, Rankin, Homestead, Munhall and Swissvale. The first game of the 1930-31 season was played at Homestead. With much effort the girls succeeded in bringing the score to 23-12. The Rankin game was a complete walk-away, the final score was 75-4 in Swissvale's favor. This big score put pep into the girls and the next game, this time with Munhall, ended with a score of 54-27 and Swissvale still on topl But the worst was yet to comell' A bit nervous but with the determination to win, our lassies entered the fateful game with Braddock. A hard fight and an encouraging student body forced Braddock to taste their first defeat at the hands of our Faithful Sextet by a margin of only one point. Our one-sided record was marred by two tie games, the score with Munhall in the second game was 15-15 and, in the return game with Braddock, the score was 16-16. This splendid record of fourteen games won, two games tied and none lost, made Swissvale eligible for the play-off with our rival section which the 1VIcKees Rocks' girls headed. The game was played at Fifth Avenue High School. From the first moment of play the Mac Leod Sextet led, and when the last whistle blew the score 25-19 showed that the girls had succeeded in winning another trophy. l57l i u 1 1 . . . r i , I !

Boqs' Basketball After losing four of its six pre-season games the Blue and Gold'Quintet came back to win eleven of its twelve sectional games and annex the Section X1 champion- ship of the VV. P. 1. A. L. for the second consecutive year. Coach Paulie started the league season using two combinationsg one during the first part of the game to wear down the opposition and the other during the remainder of the game to run up the score. This system was used until in,illfiSS at mid-SCHSOII forced the breaking up of the two combinations to build up a team strong enough to complete the season. The Golden Cagersv of Swissvale High were victorious in all of their six first- round games, winning from VVi1kinsburg, Verona, Aspinwall, Etna, Oakmont and Edgewood in the order named and won all but the VVilkinsburg game in the second round. The most exciting and hardest fought game of the entire season was played at Dickson Gym with Aspinwall High's HCrimson Tide. The local boys led at the half 10-9 after sixteen minutes of clean, hard-fought ball. The second half was one of the most thrilling ever played by a Swissvale aggregation. Four times in the final period the lead changed hands and with forty seconds of play re- maining, and Aspinwall leading 19-18, Ross Emrick broke through the Aspinwall defense and swished the ball through the net for two points and victory, making the count 20-19 as the gun banged. 1611 s . . , . .1--4 gi ,,i.Txs.!- The Edgewoodites twice fell before the scrappy Swissvale boys. The first game played at Edgewood was close throughout the first half, the score being 3-3 at the intermission. However, in the second half, the boys broke through the Edgewood zone defense with little difficulty and the final score stood at 21-10. As representatives of Section Xl, the Swissvale cagers met New Kensington High, champs of Section 1 and defending champions of the W. P. 1. A. L., at the University of Pittsburgh Stadium on February 26. After getting off to a poor start the Swiss- vale quintet overcame Ken-Hi's seven point lead and at half time the New Kensing- ton team was leading 13-11. In the second half Lady Luck seemed to desert the Swissvale five entirely for out of innumerable shots at the hoop only two found their way through, while New Kensington broke through to score 13 points and the struggle closed with Ken-Hi the victors of a 26-15 game. Although the squad loses three valuable men- Bud Groat, George Herring, and Harold Hugo, by graduation, the outlook for next year is exceptionally bright since Coach Paulie will have eight letter men back and a vast amount of promising material to work with. Three seniors-Charles Groat, George Herring, and Harold Hugo-were pre- sented gold basketballs and letters. Others who received letters were Ross Emrick, Edward Fullen, James Casillo, Robert Nickel, Thomas Lucas, Charles Carlson, Robert Emrick, Edward Loughran, and 1VIgr. Howard Lutz.

' George Fish Herring, also a senior, could always come through with the points when they were most necessary and was outstanding for his cool-headedness in the Stadium game. Harold Hugo, a guard and the only other senior on the squad, although lacking in size, could give the opposition plenty of trouble. Ross Emrick, '33, besides being a first-class guard, was the mainstay of the Swissvale olfense and high scorer of the section. Eddie Fullen, '32, playing his first year on the varsity, could handle his man as well as he could hold a basketball in each hand. A'-Iimmy Casillo, '33, a center and the scrappiest cager on the squad, was an important factor in the success of the team. ' Robert Nickel, '32, with his great height and cool-headed playing, very capably handled the center position while Casillo was out. Tommy Lucas, '32, a forward, was a Ene ball handler and one of the fastest passers on the team. Coach E. T. Paulie, '24, one of Swissvale's own boys, in his second year as mentor of S. H. S. athletics, is to be commended on his ability to turn out two championship cage teams in just that number of seasons. ' Howard Lutz, '32, manager for the 1930-31 season and reelected for next year, cer- tainly was the coach's right-arm man and a more dependable one could not be found. l63l 0 His Big moment The year was 1930. The month was October. The game was with Rankin. The score was 7-0. The suspense was terrible. All of a sudden the referee blew his whistle. He ran up to the coach and con- ferred with him. Paulie turned around and surveyed the bench. Suddenly he called, Ellrodl Harold stripped off his sweat-shirt and eagerly ran up to him. His big moment! Take off your right shoe and give it to the referee. His is broken. Harold sadly sat down and slowly unlaced that huge foot-Covering and handed it to the referee. The whistle blows. The game is on. The big moment is passed. N. S. 33 And Some Smaller Moments Senior Cat football practicej 1-'lHey, Freshie, what time is it?l' Frosh Con sidelinesj :-HHOW did you know I'm a Freshman ?

The Udhshc YVith the aim a better paper for less, the Valistic staff definitely attempted and achieved its goal. Reducing the paper to Five cents a copy, just half the charge formerly made, and by making it a bi-monthly publication Qexcept for the month of Mayl the stalf was able to publish more material that was really news and a larger number of students were able to purchase the paper. This year the staff is about twice as large as in previous years but with the more frequent issues, a larger group was necessary. With frequent cartoons and occasional halftone cuts, along with the splendid cooperation of the Mayer Printing Company, the paper has had better makeup and is generally more attractive than before. Many of the cartoons were made by students in the art classes. Because the Valistic does not solicit advertising, the proceeds of the play, Zaraqueta, given last fall were used to help finance the publication. To boost school activities and school interests, to present authentic news, and to strive toward the highest standards of high school journalism has been the Valistic's aim and under Orpha Leighty's splendid executive ability the publication could not fall short. In April, a very successful party was given in the Dickson School hy the members of the staff. , . l67l i Lil. 631 f E, Q in -.1 v ,fa ' L! 4 X. v - f -.,',.,, ffm -,W V N a ,N..!,...:-x.4 ' 1 ..

PATTERSON Since the purpose of a yearbook is to relate the history of the past year but em- phasizes the activities of the seniors, the staff is largely composed of members of the senior class, chosen for their scholastic standing and interest in the yearbook work. The business training class of the commercial department of the high school, under Nliss Whittenls direction, takes charge of the typing of the written material. All the art work in the annual was drawn by students in the art department under the direction of lVIiss Thomas. The drawings in the last Swissvalian received the honor of a superior rating in the 1930 National Scholastic Press Association contest for yearbooks and the annual as a whole was awarded the grade of Hexcellenty' or B rating. The book is worked out according to an estimated budget so that the school will not be forced to help the annual 'lout of the hole and also so that the students will get an annual which is really worth what it costs and gives a true picture of school and its activities. l69l '5-72155, if ' 'H' 'Pnl' - .'-, Q?1i 'p. r if 5 SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB Front Row: Susan Irvine, Marion Davis, Gertrude Henkel, Elizabeth Andraso, Katherine Anderson, Helen Stier, Pauline Lindberg, Bliss Piper, Ruth Greenwald, Gladys Penick, Marion XVebb, Esther Farren, Yiolet Allison, Orpha Leigl-ity. .

Senior Girls' Club The Senior Girls' Club was organized to create a spirit of friendliness among the Senior girls. This aim, which began in 1927 with the Hrst club of this kind, has been kept alive by the girls of each succeeding Senior class. Several times during the year teas were held. At Christmas, dolls were dressed for the Swissvale Philanthropic Society and were displayed at a tea given for the members of the faculty. There was also a tea for the mothers and the faculty to help the mothers and teachers get better acquainted, and one for the Junior girls. OFFICERS RUTH f3REENN'.-XLD . . .

Booster Club The Booster Club, sponsored by Mr. Dashiell, is composed of the outstanding Junior and Senior boys. It was organized in 1926 and the object of the members has been twofold: to boost the school and to suppress knockers. Although the Booster Club has not been as busy this season as in former years it is far from inactive. Besides taking care of the sale of season basketball tickets, many members sold tickets for other activities of the school. The custom of having a banquet in the Penn-Lincoln Hotel was broken this year to A make way tor a Boloney Banquet in the high school gym on Saturday, May 23. s an added feature to the entertainment schedule this year, two luncheons were held during the noon lunch hour at Fle1sch's. These events proved that the Booster Club can eat as we as boost. OFFICERS . . . . . President . l'iff-Prffidfnt . . , . . . . . . .

Besides collaborating with the Glee Cluhs in the production of the annual operetta, the orchestra furnishes music for all the plays and for any special occasion when the school needs its services. In January, the group also furnished the music for one of the evenings when 'lThe Family Upstairs was given to help the needy of the town. - The orchestra will play for the last time this season at the Commencement Exercises. This will be the last time three of the members will be present: Louise Esler, pianist, Alex Langham, first violin, and Tom Price, horn instruments, will graduate with the class of '31, The orchestra, under the direction of hliss Carrie Hamilton, is composed of twenty of the most musically inclined students. This includes nine violins, tuba, piano, two saxophones, three clarinets, two cornets, a baritone, and drum. l72l S vw 1-wry-1 1-ffv v , HAND GROUP X lt' l D Xlvan Torakel Fucene qalinger llenrv Nlvers Xlrlen Front Row: XYnl. .lcJun'in, Artiur ay, 1 ' .'

The military caps and capes are in the school colors, blue and gold. ln addition to playing for all the home football games, the band attended many of the basketball games and took part in the annual observation of National lX'Iusic Week. . The band was organized five years ago and has been making rapid progress ever since. Prospects for its continued growth are good with so many students of Dickson School interested in band music. Bliss Hamilton is the director of this active organization.

The Qlc-se Club V Glee club classes were so arranged that practically every interested student could he enrolled. These classes made up the Cast and chorus of this year's operetza and, combined with the high school orchestra, made The China Shop a very successful presentation. The operetta was given on February 11 and 12 under the direction of Miss Carrie Hamilton, music supervisor. The China Shop is the story of Sing Fong, a supposedly wealthy young man, who has a desperate time refusing the many hclles of the town. He prefers Lotus Blossom, the niece of a poor fisherman, but because of the poverty of both he is unable to wed hcr. VVhen Sing Fong learns that his fathcr has left a fortune to the orphans of the town and that he and Lotus Blossom are the only orphans, he is at last free to marry the girl of his choice.

' The Swiss Thespidns The success of the play Zaraqueta convinced the cast that a drama club would be a great asset to our high school, Accordingly, the Junior and Senior members of the cast met, drew up a constitution, selected a name and elected ofhcers. This club, limited at present to twenty-live members, is open only to the two upper classes. At the bi-monthly meetings held in the new Dickson School, interesting programs are presented with special emphasis given to the art of make-up and the study of one-act plays. The Swiss Thespians have arranged for an 'assembly program and an interesting future is expected for the club. Not Quite Such a Goose , a clever one-act play, had the following members in the cast: Ifleanor Cooper, Elizabeth hlcliarney. Nlargaret Shultz, Frank Snyder and Richard hderedith.

The play was Zaraqueta, a comedy translated from the Spanish hy Clarence Stratton. Carlos, a student in Madrid, has borrowed from Zaraqueta, a money lender. He visits his aunt and uncle to convince them that he must have money immediately to treat an imaginary ailment. Zaraqueta follows him and is mistaken for Carlos' doctor.
