At a time such as this the desire to share memories is common. We hope this book will help you live over the happy, never-to-be-forgotten days spent at Wash High, and that the re-reading will im- press upon your heart, the pleasant memories of school days.

The Little Prexie Staff xI I IFACIIIIY and ADMINISTRATION Dr. Meyers B. Horner The year 1926 brought Dr. Kleyers B. Horner to YVashington as principal of the high school. Four years later, he became superintendent of the YVash- ington schools - a position which he still holds. Educated at Juanita College and the University of Pittsburgh, he previously served as principal of the high school at Coraopolis. In the 24- years he has been associated with the VVashington schools, they have grown and prospered. During his years of service he has established him- self as a leader among other school men and has figured importantly in civic affairs. BOARD OF Financing and regulating the affairs of a school system in a city as large as VVashington is a com- plicated and dinicult problem. The members of the Washirrgton Board of Education give voluntarily of their time and services to provide WVashington children with the best of educational facilities. Problems of increased maintenance costs, appro- DR. NIEYIERS B.

Personal supervision and constructive inspection, and more frequent meetings than in the past, bear witness to the sincere effort these men are making to keep our education at a high level.

Previous to this, he was principal at Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. Three years later, he was elected as principal of the Fifth Ward Grade School, which he man- aged elhciently until September of 1945 when he returned to Washington High as its home and school visitor. ln 1946 he was selected as principal of the high school. ln the years since then, he has proved himself a sincere friend to pupils and teachers in his efforts to make our school a pleasant, Well-ordered place in which to learn and teach. hflr. Lowry is a member of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the National Edu- cation Association, and has served on several state education committees. SHELDON KELLEY rlfsislavzt Prinripal, Waxlzingtofz High School HOMER M. LOWRY Principal of lV!l5hi7lgf0n High School Sheldon Kelley Sheldon Kelley, assistant principal, is well known by every student. It is his duty to Work with the attendance staff in punishing those who are late and those who are truant. He is in charge of books and supplies, and administers the various aptitude tests. The most important of his duties-and least appreciated-at least by the students, is that of dis- cipline. Before becoming assistant principal, hir. Kelley taught science at YVash High.

BP bSIE MARIE BRIGHTBILL MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Dfntal Hygiwzixt Stalled by a doctor, nurse, dentist, and dental hygienist, our medical department meets the need of every student. Physical examinations are conducted each year, giv- ing students the opportunity to take steps necessary to keep in perfect health. Students of the 9th and 11th grades are given den- tal examinations by Dr. VX7eller and lVIrs. Brightbill. Treatment by a family dentist OCIE FRYE Sl'!l00l Nurxz' is recommended, and many are the tooth- aches prevented by this yearly check-up. Dr. Patterson is at the high school from 9 to 10 A.lVI. each day. Nliss Frye is in the health room until noon, then she reports to the various grade schools. As an additional preventative this year, every student was X-rayed as a precaution against tuberculosis. Dr. Patterson cheeks over a student report with VVayne Henderson is given a dental examination by Dr. VVeller Miss Frye. while Mrs. Brightbill checks his dental chart. SERVICE PERSONNEL ,IOIIN CRISVVELL BERNARD DODD Long hours after school books have been put away and heads are burrowed deep in pillows and away to the Land of Nod, the service person- nel of XVash High sweeps and cleans, making the building a pleasant place to come back to on the morrow. Little does the average student realize the work our janitors do. At night lights wink on and off all over the building as the force moves from room to room cleaning and putting things in order. Bill hfliller, as head custodian, migrates all over the building. He has charge of issuing supplies, and every llonday morning he can be found at the supply room door, ready to distribute paper, pencils, etc. to students from the various homerooms. llr.

Iioardley, as our school engineer, appears very early in the morning and spends most of his time in sub basement. He, it is, who is responsible for our warm rooms on cold winter days. llr.

It was then that bashful little girls met backward little boys for the first time and suffered untold agonies at their hands. ln a more serious vein, we mastered the multiplication tables, the names of con- tinents, and the stories connected with the formation of our great world. Too, we learned to work and play together. Progressing from the various grade schools of Washington, we entered the Sth grade at Wash- ington High School. The building wasn't entirely new to us, for instrumental music classes had been available from the 4th grade, and Home Economics and Woodshop were required of all 7th grade stu- dents. Still, it was a Hgreenl' group that wandered around the lower corridors that September after- noon in 1941-5. But soon we got into such activities as football, basketball, wrestling, band, chorus, and assembly programs. ln the spring of 1946, the American Legion presented the Legion medals to six members of our group: Ruth Batch, Samuel Brooks, Diane Clark, Fern Haughton, Donald Nle- neely, and Edson lWi1ler. These were presented on the basis of honor, scholarship, service, leader- ship, and COUYZIZC. We learned, too, our first step in democratic self-government by having representa- tives on Student Council. The Sophomore year passed uneventfully. We were now a little wiser and a little olderl We be- came familiar with new faces as many of our teachers returned from military service. A modern electric clock for indoor sports made its appearance in the gym, and an up-to-date Public Address system was installed. About three months too soon, September rolled around again, and the back-to-school march was on. As Halmostll upper classmen, we elected our class officers: Edson lliiller, president, Carey Polan, vice president, Elizabeth Knestrick, secretary, and Nlary Ann Foil, treasurer. These people were to serve as our officers through the Senior year. Corinne Nelan and Jay Luft were chosen as co-advisers to guide us past the pitfalls along the way. As -lun- iors we held a super Junior Prom, selecting hiarlene liehner, a senior, as the Nlay Queen. Decorations were in the hands of the class, and a colonial theme was followed in the decorations. Junior attendants in the Queenls Court were June Jordan and lliar- jorie Wallace. Class rings were no longer a dream, but finally a reality. At last the big moment arrived, we were Seniors! Upon entering this, our last year at Wash High, We were determined to make this our most enjoyable one. Our first action was to order Dinks', in our class colors of blue and gray. These were to let everyone know just who the Seniors were! ln Gctober, Gordon French brought additional honor to the Class of '50 by winning first place in an All-County Columbus Day Essay Contest. f'The Baby Sitterl, a three-act comedy by Perry Clark was our Senior class play. Humorous, depict- ing scenes in the life of a teen-ager, it was considered one of the best class plays produced. The main char- acters were: Lester Peel, Alice Spriggs, Robert Barr, Joseph Rotunda, Jessie Wood, Sara Burns, Theola lVliller, Jane Dever, Carmen Nlaccheroli, Robert Culley, Elizabeth Knestrick, Patsy Karpa, Evan Davis, and Shirley Hartman. Our second activity of the year was the Snowball Dance, a mid-winter formal with Brad Hunt furnishing the music. A Snow King and Queen- Lester Peel and Eileen Noble-were crowned amid sparkling snow flakes and myriad lighted Christmas trees. On lVlarch 11, Alma Zenner was crowned llournament Queen at the P. l. A. A. Wrestling Tournament held in our gym. llflay Day activities brought us new honors as Donna hlay Long was crowned Nlay Queen and Eileen Noble and Alma Zenner were the Senior attendants. Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement were upon us. Commencement speakers were: Samuel Brooks, Diane Clark, Gordon French, Shirley Hart- man, Edson Nliller, and Nlatilda Palli. This meant that our school days were at an end. Now, as members of the Class of 150, we are leav- ing Wash High to continue in the school of life. Fifi! Rofw: Carey Polan, Edson Miller.

I Sl VVith seven lettermen back from the previous year, the baseball season of l9+9 was a rather successful one, the Little Presidents winning eight out of twelve games. Two of these losses were in section play, the other two being exhibition con- tests with Burgettstown and Jefferson, both winners of their respective sections. The two defeats in section play were both suffered at the hands of Trinity, the eventual winner of Section III, with our Little Prexies in the runner-up spot. Standout performances were turned in by sec- ond baseman, Don Shook, and shortstop, Don Kuzy, a keystone combination that will be difficult for Coach lX1cGlumphy to replace. Both boys, inspira- tional play and timely hitting set a fine example for the younger members of the squad to follow. Qther squad members who performed creditably during the 1949 season and are expected to form the nucleus of the l95'O squad include co-captain Stanley Dubelle, outfielder and catcher, co-captain Dave llfloore, hrst baseman, Carey Polan, infielderg 68 Dick Oberst, outhelderg ,Tack Burnfield, outfielder, George Dean, outfielderg Frank hlaceyko, catcher, and pitchers Allan Bunner, Don Sphar, Stanley Sobella, and hlerle Daugherty. Great things are expected of Daugherty, who as a freshman last year, displayed exceptional ability and promise of a possible future in baseball. With the publication of this book, the l950 baseball season will be history, but at the time of writing Coach hflcfilumphy is looking forward to it rather optimistically.

After several weeks of intensive rug- ged practice, the Little Prexies opened the season with the Canonsburg Gunners at the Canonsburg field. At half time the score stood 7-0 in favor of the Gunner eleven. Chances of an upset went in vain, when the Canonsburg team scored again. Washing- ton's score came on a pass from Amos to Brown in the fourth quarter, but the score was 13-6 against the Prexies at the ending whistle. Traveling to Brackenridge, the Wash High team next met Har-Brack High School. Here the Blue and Black met their second defeat of the season. The Prexies were unable to reach pay dirt and the game ended with the hnal score of 26-O in favor of the opposing team. The next week found the Little Prexies playing host to the Hillers from Trinity. Old time rivals, the Wash High team proved to the town and school that they could defeat Trinity. After a thrilling and scoreless half, a pass from Dave lVloore to Ron Amon was completed for the score, and the extra point after touchdown by Gene Steratore, made the score 7-0 in favor of the Blue and Black. The whole team, playing as one unit, gave the fans a glimpse of the old time Wash High spirit. Bill Brown, whose second pass interception clinched the game for Wash High, was injured on this play. With one victory under their belts, Wash High next invaded the home territory of the Mononga- hela Wild Cats. While Wash High outplayed Nlonongahela all the way, the team was able to score only once, and at the end of the game, the score was Nlonongahela 26, Wash High 7. The local score came on a quarterback sneak by Dave hfloore. The Blue and Black team again met defeat at the hands of the hit. Lebanon Blue Devils. The Nlt. Lebanon attack, successful at times, was held off time and again, but the Blue Devils proved to be in control and won, 28-0. The spirit and fight of the Trinity and Nlonongahela games was not in evidence against hit. Lebanon. The sixth game of the season was at Charleroi. There again the score was against the Wash High gridders-when they fell before the attack of the Cougars to the tune of 26-0. Monessen was the next game on the schedule for the Daymen. hflisfortune visited the Blue and Black team-with Billy Amos, Dutch Dubelle, and Dave Nloore suffering injuries. Ronnie Amon then switched from his halfback spot to call the signals for the remainder of the game. Time ran out with the hlonessen score 20, Wash High 0. Last year's AA Champions, New Castle, were the Little Prexies, next visitors. The hard fight- ing VVash High team held the Scarlet Hurricane for the first half of the game, but the second half proved to be all New Castle, and the score ended with the Hurricane at 33, W. H. S. 0. This was the last home game of the Little Prexies. Blore injuries took their toll of the team for the last game at Donora. They played without the services of Billy Amos and Ron Amon, and Dutch Dubelle saw limited action because of a leg injury. The Dragons were a powerhouse, and the last seconds ticked away to a 28 score for them against O for Wash High. Fourteen Seniors saw action for the last time as VVash High gridders at this game. ln the Observer Washington County All-Star team, Fred Preston was placed on the first team at guard position, for the second year in succession. Dutch Dubelle, this year's captain, was listed on the second All-County team at center, and on the WPIAL second team, also he was given Honorable Nlention on the All-State team. Honorable Men- tion was also given to several boys who will be back next year to help bring Wash High into the fore as a football threat.

Ar the close of football season, haslcethall coach, Bill Laughlin, issued his annual call for haskethall candidates. From this group of boys, Varsity Coach Laughlin fashioned a team which finished the season with fifteen wins and four defeats, a performance which put the Little Prexies in first place in Section IV of NVPIAL and earned theni the right to two play-off games at Pitt Stadium. The season opened with an exhibition game with Connellsville on the local court. With half-time score at 32-10, the Blue and Black cagers continued THE SEASON RECORD W. H. S.

The second triumph was a victory over Donora on the Uragons' hardwood. It was a nip-and-tuck affair until Washington took the lead in the second period and never relinquished it. Final score: 58-48. VVashington visited Duquesne, Decemher 9, but was overpowered by a strong home quintet. The pressure was applied too late and the clock regis- tered a 59-37 victory for Duquesne. Richard Cain George Dean Forfward Forfward Bosketbol An unbeaten Nlonessen team rallied to keep its record unmarred by defeating VVashington 56-47 in the fourth game of the season. The score was tied six times during the contest. Dick Cain was high scorer for VVashington with 13 points. Trailing until the middle of the fourth period, Coach Laughlinls Little Prexies handed the Cali- fornia Community cagers their first loss of the season, 46-39. Outstanding players for XVashing- ton were Dick Cain and Chuck Thomas. December 21 found VVashington travelling to Uniontown where they won a 38-35 victory over the Uniontown cagers. Thomas' foul and Deanls field goal in the waning seconds of the last quarter spelled victory for the locals. A strong Alumni team, coached by Clee Johnston, forced the varsity to bow to the time of 44-41 in a close contest played during Christmas vacation. The local quintet, in an exhibition tilt with West View, whom they again met in sectional play off, battled to a 51-44 win on the Wzlsli High courts. Displaying excellent teamwork, and playing one of their finest games, the 1'Vash High dribblers next over-powered N1t. Lebanon 48-26. Going into sectional competition, YVash High defeated Canonsburg 44-34 and took first place as the only undefeated team in the section. George Dean tied for scoring honors with Gary Allhouse of Canonsburg, each having 11 points. Burgettstown was the next victim, falling 62-29 before the Little Prexie attack. Trinity toppled, also, with 1Vash High outscoring the 1-lillers in every period to coast through to their third win without a loss. john Demas Robert Lee Knestrick Fo1'fw111'if G imrd VVashington next downed VVaynesburg 38-27 after a first-half scare, when the Red Raiders left the floor with an 18-12 lead. George Dean paced the locals with 13 points. Brentwood, in two exhibition games, lost one and won one. The first game, played at Wfvashing- ton, was knotted a number of times in the early stages, with the Spartans winning finally 30-29 in a thriller. The second game, at Brentwood, found VVashington emerging the victor 49-41, although the score was tied twelve times and the lead changed hands fifteen times. Taking the lead early in the first period, Nlt. Lebanon went on to defeat XVash High's Little Prexies 42-37, in the sixteenth game of the season. VVash High moved a step closer to the Section 1V title by trimming the Gunners on the Canonsburg floor. Close guarding and good defensive ball brought home the victory of 64-43. Nleeting these teams for the second time, the Laughlin-men defeated Burgettstown, 58-33, Trin- ity, 61-385 and VVaynesburg, 68-45. Six of the varsity will he lost by graduation. These include: Cain, Dean, Demas, Knestrick, Thomas, and Trapuzzano. VVinning the Section 1V title meant a trip to Pitt Stadium for sectional play-off. The game with VVest View was fast and thrilling, but YVash High proved its superiority and came through with a close 49-46 victory. Next the Blue and Black met Homestead for the second play-off game. Though fighting hard all the way, the Little Prexies were defeated by a score of 48-41. Charles Thomas .Xmon Trapunanm 7 . I ..,. , ..'. . .ff- sa, N.

S. wrestling squad made its debut on January 3 when they trav- eled to Jefferson to extend their winning streak to 29 consecutive dual victories. Points were recorded on four pins by Don Young, Stan Dubelle, John hfIcCu1lough, and Albert lannig four decisions and one forfeit, making the final score 39-9. January 6 found the Wash High matmen chalk- ing up another victory, but not before the Char- tiers Buccaneers had given VVash High supporters quite a scare. Coming from behind after a 13-7 advantage by Chartiers-with five matches com- pleted-the local team won, 25-21. Don Young again added six points to the Wash High score by pinning Whitfield in the first period. Petronka was responsible for the other fall of the match. The grapplers met Trinity on the Hiller mats for their third win of the season. Albert lanni got his pin-the only one of the match-early in the first period. Other points scored were on refereels decisions. The Red Raiders of lVaynesburg were next on the schedule. Here, two powerful teams battled to a stalemate with the hnal score not determined until Warren of VVaynesburg scored a decision in the 185 lb. class to tie the score at 23-all. The sixth match of the 1950 season saw Car- negie bowing to the VVash High matmen to a score of 42-11. Wilsoii, Radocha, Petronka, and Joe Nico- lella got first-period pins, while Young and Fether- lin scored falls in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Before an overflow crowd in the local gym, the Canonsburg Gunners took a 26-14 decision over the Harrismen. The undefeated Gunners scored on one pin and six decisions to shatter the win streak of the Blue and Black. On February 7, Vfash High was host to the Dormont High School grapplers. Scoring hve falls and three decisions, VVasb High appeared in the Win column once more, and when the final whistle sounded, the score stood 35-18 in favor of the Little Prexies. For the second time this season, the lVash High matmen subdued the Trinity Hillers-this time at the Wash High Gym. The Blue and Black scored on decisions by lnterval, VVilson, Radocha, Pe- tronka, Gray, Dubelle, and hlahramas, and falls by Young and lanni to make the final reading 32-9. St. Va1entine's Day found the local grapplers en- route to Canonsburg to meet the undefeated Gun- ners in the second match of the season. This time the victory for the Gunners was even more decisive -with a score of 30 to 9 over the Little Prexies. Washington's points were scored in three decisions by Angelillo, Young, and Ianni. f Jefferson became the next victim of the local matmen, -1-7-5, when they met on the Wash High mats on February 20. This proved to be almost a whitewash-with many of the Wash High scores registered by falls. lnterval, Wilson, Petronka, Young, and lanni scored nrst-period pins, and Radocha, Thompson, Gray, Dubelle, and lVlahra- mas were given decisions. The last match of the season found Waynesburg visiting the local team, and carrying home a victory. The scoring swayed back and forth in the early matches, until after the 138-lb. match, when VVash- ington held the edge. Then the 154- and 165-lb. bouts gave YVaynesburg the lead, which they retained to the end. The nnal score was 25-19. Nlarch 2-4 was the WPIAL Tournament in VVaynesburg. Here, Yvash High entered a team of 12 men. ln the hnals, Wash High emerged with one contestant-Don Young-to represent them in the state meet. The highlight of the wrestling season came on Nlarch 10 and 11, when the PIAA Wrestling Tour- nament was held in the lVash High gym. Grap- plers from all over the state-winners in each re- spective district-met to decide the state champion in each weight class. Gut only representative-Don Young-came through the preliminary contests only to meet defeat at the hands of Jerry Nlaurey of Clearheld in the Saturday night hnals. A 'fbefore contest' 'event was the crowning of the Tournament Queen ly Edson lliller, president of the senior class. The Queen, Alma Zenner, and her attendants-Nanciann Bauman, Carrie Schipps, Ioan Roupe, and Harriet Super-were chosen by the wrestling team. S C 0 R E S Jefferson .. ...9 W. H.

Execunve Boord Student Councd Student Councd STUDENT COUNCIL With service to student and to school as the main interest, the governing body of Washington High School - the Student Council - organized in 1943, rendered im- provements in the forms of material and personal service. This student group is per- haps the most important organization of Washington High School. As it is the rul- ing force over extra-curricular activities, it affects every person in school. At the close of the 1949 school year, the student body, at a convention, nominated candidates for the various offices, delegates were appointed from each of the 39 home rooms to vote for the candidate their group had selected, and there followed an election similar to that of our national government. From this meeting, oflicers to serve through- out the school year 1949-1950 were elected. Yve chose Gordon French, senior, to direct our activities with David Polan, senior, as- sisting him as vice president. Virginia Eakin and Ioan Ross, also seniors, Hlled the posts of secretary and treasurer, respectively. Each year the home rooms elect students to represent them on the Council. All mat- ters brought to the student body are dis- cussed with the members and the faculty adviser, and then voted upon. The repre- sentatives from the home rooms participate in the discussions and the voting. They also serve on at least one of the six standing committees. These committees and their chairmen are: Assembly, Donald Peters, Publicity, Jack Funkq Financial, Donald Me- neelyg Organization, Alan Bunnerg School Spirit, Marjorie Ionesg Social, lV1artha Tra- canna. These committee chairmen serve as an advisory staff to the four Student Council officers, and together they form the Execu- tive Board. Mr. Paul Kratt, the faculty adviser, also participates in these meetings. During the year, the Student Council has sponsored various activities. Before the Trin- ity football game, they held a pep parade Which started at the high school, marched through the business section, and then icon- tinued to the football field, where a big pep rally and bonfire was held. At the end of the football season, the Council held the Pigskin Hop in honor of the football players. Carol YVilson, the queen elected by the football team, was crowned at this dance. The Council had charge of decorating the halls for Christmas. Two trees were decor- ated-one placed on the outside of the build- ing on Jefferson Avenue, and the other in the main entrance. The annual magazine campaign was also a project of the Council. The students of the school secured subscriptions from the people of the city, and Council ,got a certain per- centage of the sales. This year, the profits from this magazine sale were turned over to the Yearbook Fund. A lVlarch of Dimes dance Was held in Feb- ruary, sponsored by the Student Councils of the four local high schools. It was a very successful dance, with the profits going to the Nlarch of Dimes Fund. Several special assemblies were presented by the Council group during the year. lylembers assisted in selling refreshments at basketball games and Wrestling matches. Dances, sponsored by the Council, were held after all home basketball games. A Board of Control was appointed from the group to decide upon the budgets of the various clubs and organizations of the school. Sorores Club Usher Club Sorores Club Firxt Rofwi C. Church, A.

SORORES CLUB Foremost among service clubs at XVash High is the Sorores Club, organized in 1932. Composed of girls from the 11th and 12th grades, this group has followed the traditions of earlier groups, of sending Christmas gifts to the Childrenls Home. At the end of the year, a banquet was held in honor of the seniors, at which time each senior received a club pin. Serving as the Club's officers are: Alar- gery Burig, president, Ferne I-Iaughton, vice presi- dent, Alice Spriggs, secretary, and June Jordan, treasurer. Bliss Lena Lively is the club sponsor. USHER CLUB The Ushers consist of students from the 10th through the 12th grades, whose responsibility is to be ready to serve at any program of the school and to see that every person attending the program is shown to his seat in a quiet friendly manner. During the 1949-50 term, they served at all sports events, the Senior Class Play, Spring Play, Bac- calaureate and Commencement services, as well as ushering at County Teachers' Institute, the Kiwan- is NIinstrel, Professional YVrestling Nlatches, and grade school basketball games. LIBRARY CLUB In today's world, the library is referred to as a type of laboratory where there is an informal atmos- phere, and the attendance, to a large extent, is voluntary. Very often, the library is a busy spot, where over 100 pupils can be seated, and over 4200 volumes, ranging from biographies to zoology books, are available. In order that the greatest assistance can be given, the Library Club of 50 members was organized. This group is composed of pupils from the 9th through the 12th grades, selected lzy the club to act as aides to students seeking information. The club meets every Hrst and third Thursday of each month for programs dealing with library techniques. G0-TO-COLLEGE CLUB Composed principally of college preparatory stu- dents, these girls study, in their meetings, the values of college educations versus high school preparation. Guest speakers, obtained for each meeting, talk to the club about college entrance requirements, courses, college life, and possibilities for positions in various vocations. Catalogues from all colleges are available for discussion, and Bliss Sarah IWC- Enrue, adviser, is prepared to help the student select the college best suited to train her in the field of her choice.

JOURNALISM Students of the journalism class show us the full meaning of the word Hcooperationf' By working with each other, these people perform their daily tasks with smooth precision. They are responsible for the successful publishing and distributing of our school paper. NIL Gaylord Hartman is adviser to the mem- bers of the staff. Under his direction, the news and feature articles are written, edited, and the dummy sheets are made up. After this work is completed, the paper form is turned over to the printer, proofs are read, and the completed copy reaches the hands of the students. Every time the paper is received, sighs of relief and satisfaction can be heard from Room 311 as the staff delivers the finished product. Now they can start work on another issue. journalism is a continual merry- go-round l HI-Y The Hi-Y Club started off on the right track by winning the trophy at the Hi-Y Athletic Car- nival last spring. lts members are active in the athletic program at the YNICA and also in the state Hi-Y program.

The club has for its plan this year, set up separate conversational groups, and the students have learned more of these languages because of the informal use in conversation.

Four choral groups, as well as five smaller organizations, made their appearance, and have added to the musical pleasure of assemblies this year. SENIOR TRIO This group of girls, selected from the lXIixed Choral group, has followed traditionally in the steps of former trios. hluch in demand for club and church programs, they also find time to add variety to assembly programs. Alice Spriggs, so- prano, Rose Nlarie Folio, 2nd soprano, and lsabelle Parker, alto, comprise the trio. Lee Richmond serves as accompanist.

JUNIOR HIGH CHORUS Directed by NIiss Doris NIcNary, the Junior High ldusic Supervisor, this mixed group of 95 boys and girls from the Sth and 9th grades, has proved itself an outstanding musical organization. ln demand, both for school and outside affairs, they have presented programs before student assemblies- Armistice Day and Christmas-have conducted devotions over the Public Address system, and have appeared before church groups and other organiza- tions of the community. As a high light of the year, they presented-in what will probably be an annual event-a Junior High operetta A'Saucy Hollandaisel' on hIay 10.

Sev- eral smaller choral groups-the Senior Trio, The Four Tones, and a male quartet are chosen from the 1Iixed choral group. There are three accompan- ists-Patricia Dillard, Lee Richmond, and Clyde Perry. CHEERLEADERS Behind the scene of everyone of our pep assem- blies lies the hard work of the cheerleaders, for it is they who not only plan the program, but lead the cheers. The cheerleaders consist of three squads -the Junior High group of tive, selected by a fac- ulty committee from the Sth and 9th grades, the Reserve team of seven 10th graders, also selected by a faculty committee and composed of those ad- vancing from the Junior High team plus others to make the total seven, and the Varsity squad, also seven in number, chosen by the student body from the Reserve squad. This last group is made up of llth and 12th graders. These girls are morale builders, for they try to stimulate school spirit with posters, announcments over the Public Address system, and most of all, with cheers at football games, basketball games, and wrestling matches. bliss Doris NIcNary is in charge of all the cheerleaders.

And here come the majorettes, hatons waving, forming glistening patterns under the lights of the stadium, their feet answering to the rhythmic heat of the music, as they lead the line of march for the x'VHSl1iI14'IOI1 High School Band. 21 The regular corps of majorettes is composed of twelve girls. During foothall season you can find these girls practicing their twirling and marching routines to the tunes of the hand. Perfection is required when they join the hand, and practice lceeps them always on the alert for performances at concerts, parades, and, of course. at all the foot- hall games.

Gross. Edson hliller were chosen to represent XVash High at the District Band held at VVest View High School. On February 18, Edson hliller left for Hazelton and the All-State Band. - Changingg from a loud bombastic style to serious mood interpretation for the annual concert was rather difhcult, but the group soon changed tempo, and settled down to hard work. The night of April 20 brought the Xlelody Ball-a program of popular, classical and semi-classical numbers. And every member of the hand, whether first chair, or clear at the end of the section, knew that he had a position to fill and a part to play, and that without him, the band would not be complete. This Vear a hand court was or fanized to su vlement the work of the . fs Pl hand council. lhe court has been helvful in assistlnff with disciilinarv I Z1 I . problems, and has also formulated a constructive general policy for the band. Everyone knows and appreciates the untiring effort Nlr. Harding puts forth to produce a band of top calibre. Under his leadership, each member has acquired a better sense of cooperation, school spirit, and leadership. From the first football game of the year to Senior graduation, the band has played an important and viral role in the life of YVash High. As the old members graduate, there will be new ones coming up from the Junior Band to keep the band of VVHS marching on. 105 Carl-First Rofw: Lester Peel, Sara Burns, Alice Spriggs, Robert Barr, Theola Millers, Jessie VVood, joseph Rotunda, Shirley Hartman, Evan Davis.

Comedy took over as the Senior Class presented its animal play The Baby Sitteru on November 22. This riotous three-act comedy was under the direc- tion of Gaylord Hartman. Action centered around Carrie, who was supposed to have a date with Bob, but found out that he had another date. So Carrie decided to baby sit with Gordon, Jr. Throughout the play, Junior does everything possible to get rid of Carrie, as he hates baby sitters. And everything that ever happened to a baby sitter happened to Carrie. A typical teen- age group-boy friends-telephone calls-date prob- lems-all are in evidence as the play moves from one laugh to another. The climax came with Carrie as the heroine saving Junior's life.

Uur special thanks to Student Council, whose homeroom representatives were responsible for collecting our subscription money, and who worked to make our campaign go over the top. All pictures, except under-class individuals, are the work of the Strem Studio. Frank Carter and Freddie Eckert were the Strem photographers who saw that our every request for a picture was filled. Shiflet Brothers furnished the lower class pictures. VVe could always count on new ideas for difhcult pages from lVIr. James R. NlcXVilliams of Jahn and Ollier, who did our engrav- ing work. lN'Ir. Ralph Benz of the S. K. Smith Company cooperated in planning our cover design. Mr. Arthur Yvard and the Staff of the VVard Printing Company were responsible for the printing and binding of our book in its green and gold cover. Robert Culley, student artist, formulated the idea for the senior divider page, and drew the design for the contents page. W7e are proud of the 1950 Little Prexie, not only because it represents our senior year, but also because here is the material result of cooperation on the part of nearly every student and faculty member.
