There- fore, we, the Little Prexie Staff of '54 have chosen a newspaper theme for this book, as we hope it will last through the years, as a form of knowl- edge and enjoyment to you. X This book may mean more to some than to others, but to most it means merely the end of another volume-packed year of wonderful times and activities. From the on-the-spotv candids to the last minute run-ins, we have tried to show you what went on around you. It has often been said that those days spent in high school are the best part of a person,s life. Our hope is that each page will represent a mem- ory of those sometimes happy - sometimes sad - but always exciting days at Wash High. If this book brings back one memory, no matter how small, we will feel that our job has been well done. 433' Q + sQ3llfW'l 2Tf 2f 1 fee Ex ififfii fif l Administration Page Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Horner AA A A A 8 Assistant Editor, Mr. Lowry A 8 Assistant Editor, Mr. Kelley A A 9 Advisory Board, School Board A A A A A 9 Assignment Editors, Faculty A A 10 Office Personnel A A A A AA 14 Maintenance A A A A A A 15 Medical Staff A A 15 Star Reporters AA A A16 May Queen and Attendants A 41 Class History AA A A A 42 Senior Play A A A A A 43 Classes A AAAA AA A 44 Reporters A A A A A AA 44 junior Officers and Class History AA A 46 Cub Reporters A 53 Copy Writers A A AA AA AAAAAAAA AA A AA 59 Proof Readers AA 64 Sports A A AA A AA 68 Football AAAAAA 70 Basketball AA A A 75 Wrestling A A AA A AA A AA 80 Baseball A A A AA A A 85 Track A A A 86 Touch Football Champions A 87 Cheerleaders A AA AA AA A AA AA 88 Activities A A AAAA AA AAAAA AA A AA AA 90 Yearbook Staff A A A A AA 92 Iournalisirr AA A AA A 94 Clubs A 95 Student Council AA A AA Band AAAAA A A 96 114 ChorusesA A A116 Advertising AAAAAAAAA AAAAA 1 21 L4 L , YUUIn , Four Senior Home Room Tea-,..- T-MSS HAMXUYON M-Lives with the yu., pm' you kugw may guy Qqhggx hor sister in sm apartment-fhhes giving sm better g,...,-, ras first started hac:hiu'XS61'?

Their Work is varied - ranging from sweeping and cleaning the classrooms and corridors to distributing supplies for classes. Foremost, too, is the heat required for our comfort, and Mr. Boardley, the engineer, is responsible for this duty. This year the staff is comprised of nine janitors - Working almost around the clock to keep everything neat and orderly. ln addition to the regular staff, three men, employed as utility men by the school district, have painted the classrooms and corridors. While confusion reigned as students moved from fourth floor to ground for classes, each room got a new face. So, those clean cheery green Walls made all this disorder seem Worth- while. KEEPI G A SOUND BODY its medical staff, Employees are kept in good physical condition so that they may carry out their assignments. Staff members are given m e d i c a l examinations every other year, While teeth are checked periodically by the t dentist and dental hygienist. A nurse is kept on duty each day to treat minor ailments and give first aid in case of accidents and sudden illnesses. TOP ROW: Linda Aiken, Ocie Frye, Dr. E. Beachley Noble BOTTOM ROW: Dr. Guy E.

ScoTl' SENIORS PRESENT THEIR STORY The greatest - most costly - war of all time, new advances in science and aviation, three presidents, cats,', new fads, early marriages, new courses, new teachers -- all these, and count- less more, took place in the history of the Class of 1954. Needless to say, this is an interesting age in which the Seniors of ,54 are a part. It was in September of 1942 that the word Kschoolv finally became a reality. For some it was much better than being around the house, for others, the novelty soon wore off, the twelve years stretching into the future seemed an etern- ity. Through the elementary grades, steady ad- vancement was made, until finally, the fateful day of entrance to the big white building on Allison Avenue arrived. This opened a new era - a new day of living. Basketball and football games, wrestling matches, pep assemblies, music groups, clubs, new subjects -- so many things to keep busy hands busier. At the conclusion of the Eighth Grade, six of our classmates were select- ed to receive the American Legion award. Our choices included Kay Aber, Sherman Ackerman, Arthur Anderson, Maureen Paustenbach, John Salamone, and Marlene Umphrey. Ninth grade brought a little wider scope of activities within our grasp, and we took all in our stride. Studies and homework began to pre- sent problems in our sophomore year, some of our classmates fell by the wayside. We were beginning to learn the meaning of cooperation. Soon we were eleventh-graders - Juniors - no longer underclassmen, except to the Sen- iors. In February, 1953, we organized as a class and elected officers: Richard Celani, President, Dominic Sacco, Vice President, Nancy Sharp, Secretary, and Connie Andy, Treasurer. As ad- visers, we selected Mrs. Carmichael and Mr. Dupke to smooth over the pitfalls in our path. The biggest event of our Iunior year was the Iunior Prom - this year called the Crystal Ball. Everyone was there, dancing among the clouds, with the silvery stars shining down, and the re- volving crystal ball casting romantic shadows throughout the auditorium. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Arlene Moore, Queen of the May. Senior and Junior attendants were Lois Bell and Amy Salisberry, Seniors and Becky Crimes and IoAnne VVright, representing our class. The rest of the year passed quickly, and we were all set for a long three-month va- cation. September soon arrived, and we were on our last lap - only 180 more school days. Regretfully we cheered at our last pep assembly, our last foot- ball and basketball game, our last wrestling match. For those of us who were sentimental, those lasts, surely were depressing. just before Thanksgiving we presented our Senior Play We Shook the Family Treef' The plot dwelt with the plight of a teenage boy who was plagued with wearing knickers. This play, directed by Mr. Hartman, was a great success. Spring came, and we selected our class colors - powder and navy blue, Our dinks ar- rived and soon after, the name cards - with everyone scrambling to get a complete set. Helen Alexas, George Anderson, Joanne Babbitt, David Hill, Mary Mclntire, and Jean Natoli were named Commencement speakers. Thus, we drew nearer to the finish line. May 26 was our Class Day, with everyone dressed in the class colors of powder blue and navy. The next night was the Senior Banquet and dance. Then the long awaited month of Iune Ctraditionally graduation monthj was upon us. Baccalaureate was June 6 and before we could realize it, we were marching down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstancef' Our di- plomas, for which we had worked twelve long years, were presented, and we were no longer Seniors, but alumni of Washington High School. Yes, we were finished with high school, but we had much to tuck away with our memories, and more to look forward to in the future.

In high school at last! Certain- ly this must have been the thought in all our minds as we met one September afternoon four years ago. This was our first real glimpse of VVash High. It was all very confusing at first, but finally we managed to settle down and find our way about the maze. The close of the vear found us firmly established in sports and other extra-curricular activities. Also we selected as American Legion Award winners: lack Aber, james Kimbrough. Nancy Pettit, Eileen Slotsky, and Philip Walcutt. Freshman and Sophomore years moved quickly by. NVe entered into the whirl of clubsfsports, and musical organizations with zeal. YVe now had a real share in participa- tion. Now we are Iuniors. With the major por- tion of our school days behind us. To help with the manv problems of the next two years, we elected class officers: lohn Stack, presi- dentg Iohn Perry. vice presidentg Ioanne Kapsi, secretaryg and Eileen Slotsky, treasurer. Miss Lively and Mr. Grossman were chosen as our class advisers. As soon as the election votes were tabu- lated, plans were immediately started for the annual Iunior Prom - this year called 'iThe Candy Land Capersf' Committee chairmen were appointed: Jack Aber, Publicationsg John Nlikuta, Publicityg and Ted Stricklin, Tickets. VVe selected the Prom Queen - Becky Grimes and her attendantsg from the 12th grade, loann Miller and Maureen Pausten- bachg 11th, Io Ann Romano and Joy Keenerg 10th, Rosalee Peterson and Betty VVitzeling: 9th, Frieda Thompson and Ioan Bryantg and from the 8th grade, Victoria Carter and Sally Scott. The Prom, held April 30 in the school auditorium, was a huge success. And so, we leave you with this casual in- troduction to the Class of '55 who is making a name for itself with new ideas and new talents. jack Aher Patricia Agnew Richard Allen Donald Ames Frank Amon Shirley Ande?son james Archer Kenton Bachman Sandra Baker James Banc Margaret Barbour A Lois Barney Ilerhert Beatty Judy Bedillion Richard Bell Harold Bcrrdine Mary jo Birmingham John Bissett Robert Boardley Loretta Bogan Linda Braden Charles Brager Dorothy Brown Pete Bullotta Mary Campbell Nancy Cancehni David Carmichael Vincent Caruso Ronald Chicone VV alter Christman Robert Clutter Albert Cole James Cox Mary Ellen Craig Patty Craig Frank Crane Richard Crothers Dolores Cunningham Bonnie Curry Ann Dandridge Carol Day James DeBolt REPORTER an A 6 . 99' L .

Felton, Presto, and Milligan scored first period falls, and the match ended in a victory of 48-8 for the Harris- men. The second match of the season found the Chartiers Bucs on the home mats. They were turned back by a score of 26-20, with Petronka and Felton scoring the only two falls. The Wash High team remained undefeat- ed by whipping Carnegie 31-11. Ron Presto and Richard Interval scored falls for the local team. Next followed successive matches with Waynes- burg C31-181 and Burgettstown C32-151. The sixth match found Wash High on the mats of the Canonsburg Gunners. Before an overflow crowd, the Wash High matmen won a victory over the Gunners 28-21. Zollars, Presto, Milligan, and Petronka won by the ufallv route. Jefferson High brought a fine team from Greene County to visit Wash High on january 26. After the final whistle had blown, the Har- rismen had clocked up a hard-earned victory 24-20. Bill Milligan scored the only fall of the evening. On January 29 the Wash High grapplers made their annual trek to the Hiller gym for the first encounter with Trinity. Before a capacity crowd, Trinity eked out a narrow victory by a 21-19 score. The lead was in the hands of each team several times - but Trinity finally won the match by scoring a fall in the 185 lb. class. This match broke the Wash High win streak and marked the first time a Trinity wrestling team had ever beaten the Little Prexies in eight years of competition. For the second time this season, Waynes- burg was defeated by the Wash High team by a score of 26-17. In the 10th match, W. H. S. played host to Shaler High's grapplers, and the host school walked off with a 31-12 victory. On February 12, the Canonsburg Gunners paid a visit to Wash High. This time they avenged the earlier loss by defeating the Harris- men by a score of 27-19. Chartiers was the next to fall victim to the grapplers of Wash High. The final score, at Chartiers, was Wash High 28, Chartiers 16. In the final dual match of the season, the Blue and Black matmen were defeated by Trinity by a lop-sided 36-5 score. Frank Crain drew with Trinity's Taggart in the 103 lb. class. Nick Pe- tronka, wrestling in the 145 lb. class, one weight above his normal wrestling weight, scored the Jnly win for the Little Prexies. Nick defeated Gallo of Trinity by a decision. The Section 2 Wrestling Tournament of the WPIAL was held at Waynesburg High on Feb- ruary 26-27. The Little Prexies entered a full team and emerged with two champions - Milli- gan C133 lbs.J and Petronka C138 lbs.j, and two second-place winners - Presto f112 1bs.l and Sensky 1154 lbs.j. The local team compiled 23 points to share second-place team honors with Canonsburg. The Fourth Annual Southwestern PIAA Regional Wrestling Tournament was held at Wash High on March 6. Milligan, Petronka, Presto, and Sensky, as finalists in the Section 2 Tournament, were qualified to enter the PIAA Regional Tournament. All the other finalists from Waynesburg and from Section 1 Tourna- ment held at Shaler High were also paired in the Regional. Our winners and second-place winners in this Regional were the same as in the Section 2 meet. For the last wrestling event of the season - the State Championships -- held at Penn State University, March 13, only the winners of first place in the PIAA Regional Tourneys were elig- ible. Thus, our two champions - Bill Milligan and Nick Petronka - were the only matmen eligible from Wash High. Bill Milligan was eliminated from compe- tition in the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. Nick Petronka, after wrestling two great bouts - one on Saturday aftemoon and in the finals Sat- urday evening - emerged the new 138 lb. High School Wrestling Champion of Pennsylvania. Nick became a state champion for two successive years - winning the first title at 133 lbs. and the second title at 138 lbs. INDIVIDUAL SCORING RECORD VVt.

The pitching duties were performed by Bob Kuzy, Eddie Popeck, and Fred Bunner with Frank Bunner and Richard McVay doing most of the catching. Missing from this yearis line-up will be such stalwarts as Dave Henderson, Eddie Popeck, Frank Bonus, Paul Risbin, and Walter Maze, and it will be the duty of newly-appointed Coach Rodjom to find replacements.

Practice sessions were held to a mini- imum, and as a result, the season was a rather disastrous one -- with Wash High Winning not a single meet. jim Kimbrough won a trophy through his record-break- ing high jump of 6 feet.

Copy's due! Write-up deadline just around the corner! Thereis pasting to be donelv These are just a few of the remarks that circulated around Room 125 when it came to putting a year- book together. Until the color and the news- paper theme were selected, it seemed an eternity until the book actually began to take shape. Then, we had our problems. Pictures mysteriously disappeared, seniors didnit get pictures taken when scheduled, advertise- ments failed to materialize, and funds were getting low. F inally, the dummy was completed, and we were on our way. Pictures were returned from the engraver, and were shoved at people with the remark Whois the second girl in the last row, standing behind Maryiy' People shook their heads in amazement, and wonder- ed if the 1954 Little Prexie would ever ma- terialize. Advertising copy began to trickle ing enthusiasm which had begun to die, now came to life. The many long hours spent after school and the determining will to keep going seemed always to be in front of us. When the words EW PAPER THEME Final copyb appeared on the last group of pictures to go to the engraver, we felt relieved. And on April 1, when the last proof was on its way to the printer, we were confident that the book would be received on time. To many of us this was our first initiation into the mysteries of publishing a yearbook. were unfamiliar with such terms as dum- my - copy - headlines - engraving plates - mats - pasting. But soon we were speak- ing familiarly of writing captions - of compil- ing information about clubs and personalities around our school - of deadlines and themes. It was work, discouraging at times - especial- ly when promises to produce advertising or copy turned out to be just promises, and noth- ing more. When staff members failed to report for scheduled meetings or to assume some re- sponsibility, it fell to a few to accomplish what the group should have done. Still, we hope that our efforts have proved to your liking, and that we have portrayed the mem- ories you Will want to remember for the rest of your life. Go IOURNALISM CLASS - ROW 1: M. Zullo, P.

Zamhell USHERS AID CHOOL AND P BLIC The Usher Club, noted for its readiness for service, is one of the most active clubs in NVHS. At almost every activity held in our auditorium, you may see them capably keep- ing people off the playing floor or escorting them to their seats. They serve at all basket- ball and Wrestling contests, as well as XV dz I basketball games, Teachers lnstitute, Senior Play, Commencement - and this year -- at the plays sponsored by the XVashington lav- cees. Willillg to take on any job, having to do with ushering, they serve you 'ivvith a smile. Membership is selected from girls of the 10th grade having an average. For each function at which a girl ushers. she is given a designated number of points, which -- when added up at the end of a year of service -- tell Whether shi- is to receive her letter H600 pointsl. a pin C1200 pointsj or her sweater H800 pointsj.

Under the capable leadership of President Frank Bunner, Vice Presi- dent, Nick Petronka, Secretary, Maureen Paus- Eenbach, and Treasurer, Eleanor Capo, changes have been made that will remain for many years to come. Since student government has been in exist- ence for ten years at XVash High, the Installation Assembly used this theme as a basis for an un- usual P1'0gl'1llN. Members of the council gave brief summaries of each previous vear Cachieve- ments, records, officers, etc.j which proved in- structive and interesting. In honor of the football team The Ilip Pad Swing, was held November 20, crowning Ron- ald Iackman and Rebecca Crimes, King and Queen respectively. A background of autumn ltaves, goal posts, and sparkle set the scene for this annual affair sponsored bv the council. ln addition to this dance, many record dances were held after basketball games and wrestling matches. Ileralding the close of the March of Dimes campaign, the Council sponsored a ulNlarch of Dimesi' dance on Ianuary 28, with the proceeds going to this worthv cause. An orchestra, donat- ed bv the Musicians Union, was provided, and surrounding district high schools were invited to attend. One of the major projects undertaken was the revision of the Constitution. Manv noon hours were devoted to this Work by a committee composed of Council officers, student repre- sentatives, and faculty. The revised Constitution, presented to the student body in the spring, is an achievement of which classes in the future may well be proud. STUDENT COUNCIL - ROW' I: C. Riggle, II. Neilson, J.

They were credited with sponsoring and decorating for many of the dances, holding the nominating convention and school election, and decorating the halls at Christmas. Frank Bunner personally was responsible for many of the en- couraging remarks at our assemblies and de- serves a lot of credit for his untiring efforts to better the school. All in all, the 1953-54 Council can be looked upon With pride by each and every student, for Without it, We would be Without a student form of democratic government. One of the Council projects was the decorating of the Christmas tree. This was placed in the entrance way to the school. Mr. Crossman's art classes made the figures beneath the tree. 97 Us 1' S KEY CL B CONDUCT GGCLOTHE FOR KORENQ DRIVE The NVash High Key Club is one of 1,100 Key Clubs throughout the United States and Canada.

Through club programs the high school senior is given a picture of require- ments needed for entrance and an insight into her future four years on some college campus. So far in the school year 1953-54 speakers have told about Indiana State Teachers Col- lege, Seton Hill, and YVestminster. And in the fall, club members interested in WVaynes- burg College were invited to spend a dav on 102 the NVaynesburg campus, learning of college life there. Representatives from schools in the tri- state area often provide the club program, telling of the advantages of and require- ments of their school, and frequently showing movies of life on campus. No special requirements are necessary for admission to the Co-To-College Club, except a desire to attend an institution of higher learning. Officers for the year included: president, Sara Hissomg vice president, Marjorie Fulton, secretary, Eileen Slotskyg and corresponding secretary, Carol Parr. ODER FOREIG LANGUAGE PRO OTE I TERNATIO AL GOOD WILL Under the guiding hand of Miss Nlarino, the Modern Foreign Language Club achieved its primary purpose - creating an interest in the study of French and Spanish. and stirring up an enthusiasm for the promotion of inter- national good Will. The members worked hard to make this organization a Worthwhile enterprise, and the activities prove that a cluh may he hoth in- structive and entertaining. To hecome a member, vou must have either of the two languages, as onlv Spanish and French are spoken during the monthlv meetings. Like any good cluh, it has a constitution, officers are elected, formal rules of order are used at the meetings, and some sort of enter- tainment is provided. For example, at one meeting various games - familiar to Spain and France - were played. At another, folk dances Were taught, and the group learned of the customs as they were entertained. Elected to office Were: President, Rod- ney Davis, Vice President, Harold Headley, Secretarv, Barhara Goldfarh, and Treasurer, Robert Nystrom. MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB - ROVV 1: L. Keenan, -I.

S., for without their services. we would have a quiet school tif a school can be quietll The duties of the club range from props on the stage to the daily devotions. Boys are selected for this organization beginning with the 8th grade. Every mem- ber must have passing grades and at least one study hall a day. New boys from the Sth and 9th grades are taught the Working mechanisms of the movie projectors and show many of those interesting and educational movies all of us enjoy. Usually after a year in the service of the club, the members are given advanced and more responsible jobs to do. Some of these are: operating the sound system on the stage, setting up and taking care of curtains and scenery, handling stage lights and the spot light, and taking car of the Public Address system for devotions, announcements, and record dances. If you drop by Room 123 some VVednes- day at the first of the month, you will see all the members at their regular meeting. Pre- siding over them as president will be john Salamone, with Dick Bell as vice president, and Jim Cox as secretary-treasurer. One of the best features of the S.U. S. Club is its adviser, Mr. Paul Kratt. Mr. Kratt, as head of the audio-visual department of the school, spends many hours teaching and train- ing the boys. Even much of his personal time is spent in preparing for events which call for his supervision and advice. Also, he must make sure that the following dayis movies are ready to roll at the scheduled time. The SO. S. Club is really a club that gives much service, time, and hard work to the school.

A CLUB ROVIN G PHOTOGRAPHERS A completely remodeled dark room greeted the Wash High Boys, Camera Cub this fall when the first meeting was held un- der the guidance of Ted Stricklin, president. This club, founded for the purpose of acquainting all those interested in amateur photography, has carried out a constructive teaching program. This year, the club has been the official photographer for the school newspaper. In addition, the group was re- sponsible for a photography display of the prize winners of the 1952 National Scholastic Ansco Amateur Photography Contest. Later in the year, bulletin board displays of student photography around school, and the TV- Orama posters showed their work. As service projects, they conducted devotions over the P. A. system and were in charge of a refresh- ment stand for one of the non-athletic activi- ties. Several meetings featured speakers and movies and to round out the year's activities, a banquet to install new officers and mem- bers was held. Officers for this year include: President, Ted Stricklin, Vice President, Rob- ert Bruno, Secretary, Richard Crothers, Trea- surer, Jim Hackney, and director, Dave Crox- :on. The club is capably advised by Mr. Curtis Kerns. The Girls, Camera Club aimed at develop- ing more interest among girls in photography. Interest this year has centered around the taking of pictures at games and other activi- ties of the school. Members also spend some time in learning to develop and print their own pictures. Several guest speakers helped to make this year's program successful. Of- ficers are: Joanne Pettit, President, Peggy Probst, Vice President, Betty DiVincenzo, Secretary, and Hazel Burke, Treasurer. The club is advised by Miss Eliza Grable. W CLUB PROVIDES FUTURE SPORTS FIGURES Few things make a boy prouder than to be able to display a Wu on his jacket or sweater. Qualifications for membership are few - but they are difficult to achieve. A member must have won his letter in a school- sponsored sport: football, basketball, wrestling, track, or baseball. In addition he must have displayed good sportsmanship in his par- ticipation of that sport. This year the Club is cooperating with Student Council in enforcing the regulations established by Student Court governing smok- ing on school property, seeing that school property is not destroyed, and that the corri- dors are orderly. Officers include: President, James Kimbrough, Vice President, Robert Bookman, Secretary, James Simon, Treasurer, Ron Jackman. Faculty adviser is Mr. Earnest Eros. NEWS G.A.A. HANDLES INTRA-MURAL SPORTS The G.A.A. stands for Girls, Athletic Association. Requirements for membership include an interest in sports and active par- ticipation in them. Points are given for play- ing basketball, volleyball, softball, table ten- nis, badminton, and foul shooting. VVhen a total of 1,000 points is reached, a letter is awarded, and should some person acquire 2,000 points, a gold basketball is presented. Points are given on the basis of 50 points per game won, and 25, if you are on the losing team. This year Shirley Brown was chosen president, Jeanie Collar, vice president, An- nette Strother, secretary-treasurer, and Edith Davis, point recorder. Miss Beatrice Wood- ward, girls, physical ed. instructor, is adviser and plans keen competition among the teams within the club. The G.A. A. gives a girl an excellent op- portunity to meet and associate with others who share her active interest in sports. Y-TEENS HAVE RECORD ENROLLMENT This year our six Y-Teen groups have the largest enrollment in their history. Sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. primarily for fellowship, these clubs meet a need no other school or- ganization provides.

Peters HIGH TEPPERS ADD COLOR TO BA D As September moves into view on the cal- endar, it is back to Work again for the twirlers and high steppers of the Washington High School Band. Starting the season with almost a com- plete ncw group of majorettes and flagsvvingers, it became the duty of Miss Beatrice VVoodward to spend long hours of practice, teaching routines to the novices. Soon a fanfare of trumpets, a roll of the drums, and a seasoned group struts out on the field - batons held high - never faltering - although knees quaked and hearts missed a beat. YVith their unique routines and high step- ping antics they added color to the band at foot- ball games and many parades. Once again the group travelled with the band to Pitt Field House during the basketball play-offs in March, and presented a routine be- fore the game and again at half time. This year the majorettes appeared in TV- Orama, and when the band presented its spring concert in April, thev acted as ushers.

From these groups are selected the eighty members of the Junior High Chorus on the basis of vocal try- outs. In November, under the leadership of Mr. J. Richard Nevin, this large choral group traveled to Harrisburg to present a program before the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Training for this event meant long hours of practice during the summer months, as this Was the first time such a chorus had performed before the Association. A program of varied music was well received, 116 and the members of the chorus had a never- to-be-forgotten experience. In addition to participation in the Christ- mas and Easter assemblies, the chorus took part in the TV -O-Rama, a school planned pro- gram taking the place of the animal Spring Play. They also appeared before the Current Events Club, singing several selections. During the year a Junior High Trio Was formed - comprised of Sara Morris, Ist so- prano, Barbara Hughes, 2nd soprano, and Martha Lynch, alto. Accompanists for the chorus and trio were Barbara Hughes, Peggy Schaffer, and Norman Johnson. kai ' f qi, wg- .7 'Q' ,. in V we 9 fi Q Q if .1 X 5 f 5' 3 is si 3 is Y E ffgx 9 g R 5' ygx 6 .

Engraver: To Mr. james McWilliams of Iahn and Ollier Engrav- ing Company, many thanks for his help in the difficult layouts of the divider pages and for his interest in our publication. Printer: To Mr. Walter Wyant of Kurtz Bros., our appreciation for his efforts in making the printing of our book a success. Photographer: Rain - snow - fog - Frank Carter was always there to take pictures. Without him our book would be word without picture. Observer Publishing Co.: To Chuck Arnold and the photographic staff of the newspaper our special thanks for the pictures of the Touch Football Champs, and the photograph of Dr. Horner Hewett Studio: Thanks for their patience in taking our under- class pictures and replacing the ones which disappeared. Art: To Hettie Osborne a special award for the art designs on the divider pages and the printing on the May Queen panel. And to Mr. Kerns, thanks for the lettering on the sports panels and for devoting an evening to the drawing of intricate circles. Faculty: To all the teachers, everyone, for their untiring patience in handling the subscription money, for identifying club groups and student pictures, and for any other work we may have asked them to do - our heartfelt thanks.
