But I think that when we look back at our high school dalys it will be with com- plete joy, unless it be for! there which left a slightly For one thing, WE WO year that we have such team, with players that Walkers, and Blanchards. that, just to look at them. nothing-you can go to a failed exam here or ad taste in the mouth. FAME! It isn't every a wonderful football are potential Lujacks, et you wouldn,t know ou might say, That,s any college football game, except maybe Tech, and get the same thing, if not more. But-can you go up to those fellows and say, That was a great game you played Dick, john, or P tv? No, because you don't know the fellows an it wouldn't mean any- thing to them. It's the close friendship we share that is the wonderful part about high school. For instance, will we ever! meet up with a better comedian face to face than Frank, or with one who could put so much into a violin solo fand don't say jack Bennyj? ! Think back and see j st how much you can remember. The NDD,s f one thing, they don't come much hotter-how dould they, with a name like Neal's Delinquent Deadbeats? Girls, did your muscles ache? Did ybur back kill you when we did 20 pushups, so many pullups, the 100- yard dash, and more? If tljey did, you weren't the only one! But at the end, we belonged to the A Unions! Everywhere you knows, one of us might day! Many of you have I can still remember, the we were proud to say ateur Athletic Union! turn, unions! But who in the Olympics some robably forgotten, but uni' we had from those dancing lessons in nir!1th grade. Whose bril- liant idea was that anyway? But I think it did help some, because there lwas a good turnout for the Freshie Party, whic feven though there wer and gold streamers the w and it turned out there tion on each lamp.j Anot was the flag raising and supplying the serious tru was a grand success supposed to be blue ole length of the gym as just a little decora- er thing to remember owering, with jackson pet accompaniment. Through the freshmajn year and on into the sophomore year there was the constant source of amusement-those water! guns! You were lucky if you lived through the day dry. Another thing we seemed to enjoy in our sophomore year were football holidays, we just couldn,t seem to get enough of them. And health teachers! How many did we have that year? just couldn't seem to keep health teachers. Maybe it was the delayed ill effects from those dancing lessons, but for some reason or other we didn't get around to having a Soph Hop that year. But to make up for no Soph Hop, we really outdid ourselves in the junior Prom. Ah, soft lights, sweet music, fDoin, What Comes Natcher- lyj, by Clyde Knight, everything from roses to orchids worn everywhere from pasted to a pretty shoulder to strategically pinned on a cute bustle, pretty girls with Gracie Rodgers standing out as Prom Queen, and ah-anything else you might want to add. It really was quite a night! But it was not all play and no work-no siree-that was the year we sold magazines by the tons. Every- thing from Polly Pigtails to Holiday and back again. Now when the a cappella choir performs, they are properly dressed in blue and gold robes. We've worked hard and we finally have en- joyed the privileges of seniors, no less. We waited a long time to hear Seniors dismissedv and enjoy it. But I think Weill be graduating better men and Women ready to face the trials of life that come before us, for after all, it isn't everybody who can face life with as good a lab technique as Mr. Ielbartis chemistry students have. Ah, the unforgivable sins. And now that weire on the subject, of the senior year, that is, it's as good a time as ever to remember that wonderful Senior Play, such torrid love scenes-and did Carl ever get itlv? All through the four years we've had such pleasant events as pep meetings, with everything from pie throwing to McNulty, assemblies featur- ing dog shows, makeup displays, and those as- sembly plays that we got such a kick out of- especially Babe,' and Sweet Pea at their best, the annual Christmas show and May Festival- all these have made up our high school days fnot to mention classes, home work, and tests-for after all, what are details?j and I say, may we never forget them. -Figie JOHN ALEXANDER Band 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 2l, Club 2, 3, Bowling Club Johnny . . . hot cl' hands in pockets . . . that sum? .l DEAN ARCALL Art 2, 3, A Cappella ic Camera Club 2, 3, 4.

Great was his confusionl However, in a few weeks he was looking for someone to direct through the maze lof up and down stairs. Ilis coming caused the teachers to heave a sigh and start again to unfold the mysteries of geometry, Latin, biology, and so forth. Do you remember when The Sophomore elected his class officers? They were Iohn Cig- liotti. presidentg lilarry llockstein. yice-presidentg Pat XVirth, seeretaryg and George Falcsik, trea- surer. Ile also contributed many new members to the high school nrusical organizations. Thought the upperclassmen could use a little helpl The Sophomore was very proud of his unde- feated football team. After all. he contributed a linzardman who wfas on the field every game: our water boy, Ralph Marino. You couldn't have missed seeing the streams of girls who swanmed to the gym early in the mornings to practice and try out for cheerleader and maiorette. Betty Temple helped out our reg- ular cheerleaders very ably at some of the basket- ball games. To relieve the despair of the teachers who saw The Sophomore against a background of dull walls in a poor liglit, the high school was redecor- ated. Unfortunately, the new fluorescent lights l l I made it easier for the teachers to see the mistakes on those test papers. A great number of nickles have found their way out of his pockets into the candy machine. NVhy do teachers-crminch-object to our eating this stuff-crackle-in class? The Sophomore sent forth Bob Deinert to District Orchestra, where he fiddled away with the best of them. New ideas and new problems for the editors were The Sophomoreis contribution to the Val- istic through the aspiring journalists on the staff. Nancy Dunn and Margaret Toth were greet- ed by The Sophomore and the upperclassmen as they delivered the announcement sheets. Many beautiful Latin projects were de- signed by The Sophomore. Some of these were put on exhibit in the Buhl Planetarium. They certainly showed a lot of hard work! Mustnit forget evaluation. The Sophomore bit his nails along with the rest of them when the visitors sat in on classes. Didnit it always seem that you were called upon to answer something that you didn't know just at those times? The Sophomore has had a good year, cheer- ing his teams, enjoying himself in other ways, and maybe eyen learning a little bit.

Lander, mgr. a6'aalmt6alL The 1948-49 basketball season was one of high hopes and deep disappointments. The early season form displayed bv the Flashes indicated that this might be the year for SHS to wear the crown as title holder in Section Vlll. However, luck seemed against them. They finished the season in fourth place, with a record of 10 wins and 10 losses. Against league oppo- sition, the Valers again split even for a .500 percentage. One of the bright spots of the season was the exciting Enid-season 52-49 triumph over our arch-rival, Wilkins- murg. Swissvale fans saw some of the best games theyill ever see, due to Bonacciis dead-eye, Ashburneris fine form, P2ltt9l'SOl'l,S fleet feet, Stewarfs coordination, Mc- Dononglfs height. Toohill's calmness, and Faustis spirit. Since Stewart, Ashburner, McDonough, and Pat- terson had already received sweaters, they were award- ed letters, Bonacci, Toohill, and Buck were awarded sweaters and letters. An encouraging feature of the season was the play ot the NIV, who won 13 while losing onlv 6 games. Scores 40 . . . . . Peabody .. . ,, 34 64. ..,. . ., , South Hills . ,. . . .56 53 . . .. .

The Valentine issue done entirely in red ink was a novel idea and any available person was recruited to paint gold on the cover of the Christmas issue.

The senior class proved to be prophets when they chose Figie,' and Jimmy as their editors. They knew them to be conscientious workers and knew they would do themselves and the class of '49 proud. As everyone knows, starting on a yearbook is a lot of work axrd trouble, but with Miss I. as an adviser, how c uld anyone go wrong? Every- thing from the co r of the cover to the way the page numbers sh uld be written had to be de- cided, with diffe ng opinions on top of it all. Fitting two hundred seniors on the pages where one hundred fifty could be put nicely, was one problem. As a result, the senior Writeups were placed after the dictures, but they were so ably done by Literary Editor Margaret Rodgers and the writing staff that you will enjoy reading them over and over. A padded covbr was omitted because of the constant reminder that went something like this: You can't go in the hole! I I I I ' jwrbuahan' The expression, Let's be different, resulted in the novel division pages, with still lifes repre- senting the various sections. Aided by Miss Thomas, these were finally shaped up after much strain on everybody. Then up came the question again, How can we do this differently? and prestol Woodsie designs two of the most original and perfect sports layouts that anyone could ask for. There certainly should be several orchids for his indispensable work and the work done by his staff. And never let it be said that typing is an in- significant part of the work. Every bit of typing that you see in the book had to be typed twice fwith the aid of carbon paper, of coursel. So a big vote of thanks to the typists. We can also thank Dom Ciufo and his staff for handling the business end of the SWISSVAL- IAN-which certainly needed a lot of handling! Of course you can't satisfy everybody, but . . . if you don't like one thing, here's hoping that you'll enjoy everything else. I Looking over their staff: Jim Fazio, Margaret Figner, Dom Ciufo.

Don- Since music is fine of the finest of fine arts, SHS wouldnit be complete unless it could boast of its own musical ' ccomplishments. To do this, Swissvale has not orie but four organizations for building musicians-T-inamely, the band, chor- uses, a cappella choir, and orchestra. The band, under fhe direction of Mr. Hill, has always been our pri' e and joy. Led by our high- stepping majorettes, the band left nothing more to be desired in its rill formations and half-time demonstrations. Th familiar blue and gold uni- forms always brou t a roaring cheer from the bleachers, and how hey added pep to the pep meetings. The choruses, directed by Miss Hainilton, did not perform on 'many occasions, but at their appearances they made a fine showing. They added much to the Christmas program, as we all remember. l I 0 I i n s I l First row: Mathis, Carter, Thomas, Spierto, McKeag, Cavencler, Hauser, M. Carr.

NVe were mighty proud when Gertrude Shogren, Walter Donnellan, Wil- lard Wood, and Bob McNulty represented Swiss- vale in the District Chorus held at Vandergrift. Among our most pleasant memories of SHS will be those of the choir lifting its udulcet tones in song at such events as the Christmas program, Crowning of the May Queen, Baccalaureate, and those assemblies. One of Swissvales time-honored customs has been the opening of important programs with a few selections by the orchestra preceding such affairs as the Junior Play, Senior Play, Christmas program, and Commencement. VVe were very pleased when Betty Pickering and Frank Laslow were chosen to lend their time and talent to the All-State Orchestra held at Greensburg. And while weire at it, let's not forget their wonderful duet at Commencement. A. f X 1 wi A Y f 1 I S -:-f kkkxl 7 wf k K' 3 Nitin NN ' ,. ,. ., , .

Svv Frank! ll' fl'il'lliI l'l'LlIlk lmum ' 61144 Www This year the senior class presented a bit of dramatic art that would make the Theater Guild sit up and take notice. Un the night of March 25 Come Bain or Shinei' had its opening Cand clos- ingj performance. This play has been generally accepted as being one of S. H. Sfs greatest stage successes. The excellent cast included such thespians as Marie Miller, Dick Morrow, Marguerite Ko- ber, Dolores Pozek, James Davis, Frank Gior- dano, Catherine Billings, Iohn Alexander, Ger- trude Shogren, Joanne Collins, Ioan Connor, Peg- gy Rodgers, Jeanne Pulsinelli, Margaret Figner, and Carl Eber. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Belcher, who was assisted by student director Peggy Lou Hawthorne. Those who helped prevent embarrassing pauses were prompters Mary Byers and Chris Harris. For thirty rehearsals the cast and crew worked to make the play a success. They prac- ticed during lunch periods, after school, in the evenings, and on several Saturday afternoons. Still, they didnit mind the work because there were so many unforgettable incidents, such as: the trouble everyone had remembering to say just,' and not 'ijist , jim Davis, struggle with Tillie, the dress form, Marguerite Koberis trying moment when she did not fit in the chair, thanks to those hoop-skirts, Peggy Rodgers, fascinating hat, and the frustrated efforts of Frank Giordano to master that faked kiss Qthey finally decided to let him make it the real McCoy, which forces us to wonder just how hard he DID tryl. Other standout events include: Gertrude Shogren's earth-shaking line VVhy it's-D5 Dolores Pozek's curtain calls with Frank: Ieanne Pulsinelliis swell after-rehearsal party, and, of course, the wonderful time everyone had at the celebration after the performance. All these things and many others helped to make Come Rain or Shine' enjoyable, not only for the audience, but for those behind the scenes as well.

Thus, he sees i ' A,-nl, ht.: where every train is, and knows which tracks are clear-which occupied. He .. can determine, at a glance, ideal points N for trains to meet and pass. By mov- l w 9 , 'U ing miniature levers on the control panel, he can reach out a hundred i miles or more to make switches move and signals function-directing enginemen and guiding their trains onto passing or main tracks. Jewel lights at each lever, show him how signals and switches are set. And, he can do all this from the best location on his railroad for the most eflicient planning ofoperations-often, hundreds of miles from the controlled territory! This is Centralized Traffic Control. With it, unnecessary delays are eliminated-costly stops reduced. Trains reach destinations quicker, making tracks available for more trains. All of this means faster, safer, lower-cost transportation for you and the goods you ship by rail! Centralized Traflic Control is one of many modern signal systems which our company builds for modern railroads.
