S. and Vicinity -Taken by William Robinson Luzerne Street to Left Stackhouse Park to the Extreme Left Price Memorial Field to Right Rear The PHOENICIAN The PHOENICIAN Theme of 1986 Phoenician STACKHOUSE MEMORIAL PARK The Powell Stackhouse Park was donated to the city of Johnstown by the Cambria Iron Company as a memorial to the splendid services of Powell Stackhouse who! served the Cambria Iron Company from 1855 to 1927 and who had a very active part! in increasing the value of this company from one million dollars to over fifty million dollars. The park area donated in 1931 by Cambria Iron Company includes 254.67 acres. Powell Stackhouse was born in Philadelphia july 16, 1840 and came from the Philadelphia High School in 1855 to enter Cambria Iron Company's employ as a junior clerk. He then rose successively from book-keeper, to superintendent of real estate, woolen mills and brick plant, and later to assistant to the general superinten-1 dent of the Johnstown plant. From Johnstown he was sent to Marquette, Michigan as superintendent of the company's iron ore mines. Several years later he returned to Philadelphia and was acting general manager, then comptroller, vice-president and for the last thirty six years president of the Cambria Iron Company until his death in 1927. He was president of the Cambria Steel Company from 1898 to 1910. Powell Stackhouse was very highly honored by the steel manufacturers of the United States, being first vice-president of the American Iron and Steel Institute until his retirement from the Cambria Steel Company in 1910. He had a high sense of honor and was often called upon by judge Cvary to act as arbitrator in disputes be- tween steel manufacturers and his judgment was accepted as just. The 71 years of service for Cambria Iron Company includes about three years leave of absence while engaged in fighting for the cause of the Union in the Civil War. He enlisted first in the third regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers in April 1860 as a corporal, he reenlisted in july 1862 as second lieutenant of the 133rd Pennsylvania volunteers which regiment was engaged in the great battles of Antietam, Fredericks- burg, and Chancellorsville. He reenlistcd the third time as captain of Company F of the 198th Pennsylvania volunteers and this regiment fought in the battles of the Wilderness, Peebles' Farm, Hatchers Run, White Oaks Road, Five Forks, and at Appomartox. It is a matter of military record that the 198th regiment marched thirty two miles in twenty four hours carrying over sixty pounds of food and equipment over hills, ravines, marshes, fording streams to get in front of the Confederate army at Appa- mattox and prevent the junction of Lee's and johnston's armies. The success of the Union Army at Appomattox caused General Robert E. Lee to surrender to the Union Army, thus ending the Civil War. Powell iStackhouse was acting colonel of the regi- ment at the close of the war due to the fact that the colonel had been killed in battle and Major Stackhouse was senior major. The 198th Pennsylvania volunteers was one of two regiments to preside at the surrender of the Confederate Army of 28,2311 prisoners at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. The Cambria Iron Company deemed it fitting that one who had done so much for their company and thereby for Johnstown should have a memorial in the city of johnstown in which Powell Stackhouse resided for many years, and they gave the park as a playground for Greater johnstown.

As we recall all the fun we've had, Our teachers and friends, our work and play, We can't change our feelings,-so glad, yet sad, As we watch the approaching great day. When we were Freshies, they called us green, So timid, but proud,-so dumb, but Coy. Then soon we were Sophomores,-quite keen, A confident look on each girl and boy. Next we were Juniors-how time flies! What worldly sophistocates we made. Still, time never stopped,-we broke thru the ties And went on to lead the parade. Seniors!-What an honor to be! Yet we're still ourselves,-just the same. True,-wiser and older are we, But alike in heart, tho changed in name. And now we must bid fond adieu, Bearing memories we'll ever hold, Looking forward to other things, too, But with always a thought of the old. -Natalie Augustine C155 A 'The PHOENICIAN Book II GRADUATES 16 The brook has its source, its bed, its forward course.

We are discontinuing shop not because we have gone into bankruptcy, but because we wish to close our books and start a new establishment under a new leader- ship on September 3, 1936. We wish to let all our friends know that we are closing with a clean slate, our books perfectly clear, owing no man and having left our community better for our establishment. We feel that by inspiring talks of Rev. john H. Stanton, Mr. A. B. Crichton, Dr. D. P. Ray, Mr. Walter Krebs, Capt. Fitzerald, and judge C. C. Greer, we have not only improved the minds of our customers, the boys of W.-U. Y. High School, but we have raised their standards of ideals, and their value to their community. We wish to thank all our customers for their kind consider- ation and support throughout the past year and to wish them success and prosperity for the future. C485 President ..... ......

Girl Reserves What a jolly time I've had being a humble, blue triangle, now worn and wrinkled from my journey during the year. When I was new and freshly painted, I was put into the pocket of a Girl Reserve. My first experience was during the initiation of new members, when the new girls donned hair-ribbons, mismated shoes, gaudy gloves, jewelry-and carried dollfbabies around for one whole week. In October one of the girls grabbed me, hustled me into a packed lunch, and hurriedly caught up with the others for a singing, chatting, and eating hike. When the cold breeze blew and snow appeared, the girls immediately thought of the poor. Therefore, I was the belle of the evening at a dance by which the hungry were fed at Thanksgiving. Ashamed as I am, I confess to having fallen asleep at the impressive Valentine's party when the girls sang Follow the Gleamf' Somehow, the beauty and loveli- ness of blue and white candles illuminating a room filled with music made me sleep most peacefully. When my Weary structure was slammed into a book of registers, I read our club officers as follows: President, Pattyrose Stambach, also Vice-President of Inter- club Councilg Vice-President, Louisa Claflin, Secretary, Mary jane McCauliff, Treas- urer, Betty Williams, and adviser, Miss Frances Witt. When the year drew to a close I was happy when some kind voice spoke, con- cerning me, Girls, let's use the same triangle again to make our new year success- ful and happy. The 4505 The Hi-Y Club Flash!! and the picture of the activities of this year's Hi-Y Club is taken. Fifteen minutes later and the picture is developed. What do we see on it!! Standing in that corner is John Grove taking charge of the meeting. But who is that sitting in the corner writing? That's Charles Crouse taking down minutes ofthe meet- ing. Harry Peirce and Mr. Raab are in that corner, l guess they are trying to find a way to get the members to pay their dues. Oh! Look up in the upper part of the picture. What are all those guys doing dressed in those silly clothes? Oh! I know, those are the new members undergoing the initiation. And what is that hilarious scene in that section of the picture? Could it be the party that the Hi-Y gave the Girl Reserves? Look, a lot of fellows are carrying baskets. I guess they are delivering the Thanksgiving baskets that the club donated to the poor people. Standing in front of the picture are the speakers of the year: Mr. R. C. Traugh, Mr. Walter W. Krebs, Mr. Bernard Coll, Dr. L. K. Cleaver. The picture certainly turned out well, didn't it? qsi First Row: Harry Peirce, Robert Harley, Frank Mardis, Charles Price, William Price, Charles Cook, Herman Streilein, Dean Engh, Second Row: Richard Benchoff, Freeman Fullerton, Robert Warren, Edward McGovern, Harry Rodgers, XValker Owen, Harry Allendorfer, Allen jones, James Maley.

The PHOENICIAN C535 Stackhouse Library Dedication ln 1929 Mrs. D. M. Stackhouse presented an award to the senior in Westmont- Upper Yoder High School who best exhibited certain outstanding characteristics. At the same time, a beautiful picture was presented to the school. Mrs. Stack- house made these presentations in memory of her son, Powell. Since the death of Mrs. Stackhouse, Mr. Stackhouse has continued to make the presentations. The selection of the student has always been made by the faculty of the high school. The characteristics to be considered in the selection have been as follows: 1. Responsibility in civic affairs 2. Courtesy in manner 3. Unselfishness toward others . Loyalty to high ideals . Democracy of spirit 4 5 6. Service in everything Each year, the faculty has found it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to select one member of a class enrolling so many worthy youngsters, on a basis which is so subjective. When this problem was presented to Mr. Stackhouse this year, he very graciously consented to a change which would relieve the situation. Here- after, the award to a student will be discontinued. In place of a picture for the school, Mr. Stackhouse will present books which tend to foster and develop in the students, those characteristics which Mrs. Stackhouse wished to recognize. These books will be placed in the library on a shelf which will be dedicated to Powell Stackhouse, Ill. -Williard E. Ackley. THE BIOLOGY CLUB KNOWS THE ANSWERS. DO YOU? 1.

Because of so many activities that required the services of the girls making up the glee club, the musical talent of the school was combined to form the chorus for the operetta. Here they provided very beauti- fully the music for Nannette's Marriage. Girls, it seems, will always sing, so the chorus functioned after the operetta was over, and left many pleasant musical impressions on the student body. Yes, this years chorus. lt's easy to remember And so hard to forget.

Football Have you seen the fellows sporting their new W sweaters? Yes, l've seen them, but they don't deserve sweaters after the terrible season we had. Just a minute-let me tell you something-this season was one of the most successful seasons we have ever had-Oh, l know the score tells a different story but I'm not referring to the scores, l'm referring to the wonderful spirit and characf ter development the fellows received. At the beginning of the season, sixty-three out of an enrollment of two hun- dred boys reported for practice. At the end of the year, there were still sixty-three boys on the squad. Although three boys were forced to retire because of injuries, their places were quickly filled by members of a Waiting list that far exceeded the equipment list. Of these sixty-three boys, only one had previously played high school varsity football. Yet, with such a lack of experience the team took on the heaviest schedule ever attempted by a Westmont-Upper Yoder football team. Although the opponents ran up large scores, it is interesting to note that in every game but two, our team scored a touchdown in the final minutes of play. This is significant of the indomitable and persevering spirit which carried them through the toughest season the school has ever known. Gee-I never thought of it that way, l'm just beginning to realize that every one of those fellows earned every inch of yarn in his sweater.

A field goal by C. Price, who entered the game in the last minute, decided the issue which ended at 33f35. The PHOENICIAN C779 Grove Hero as Westmont Wins Over Windber Captain john Grove, hero of many a Westmont victory, returned to his role last night at Windber to sink three field goals in the last four minutes of play to earn a 30-26 victory over the Windber boys.

Although Coach Engh's lads came back strong in the latter stages of the game, they could not prevent the 37-35 victory.

Coming from behind late in the game the Jawns edged out the Enghmen, 28-18. .lackets Avenge First Hilltop Loss Playing out after a brilliant first half, the W.-U.

For the second time in their home and home series, Westmont's Basketeers took the measure of the Portage High Squad. Windber Sinks Westmont Two successful foul tosses by Cavacina after the game had officially ended, gave Windber High a one-point, 34-33, victory over Westmont. Westmont is Loser, 49-23, at County Seat After putting up a spirited fight in the first quarter, Westmont-U. Y. High lost to Ebensburg by the count of 49-23. Westmont Closes Regular Season as Alleghany Gains Revenge Alleghany High School gained full revenge for the surprise defeat Coach Engh's lads handed them earlier in the season. The score was 36-26.

Handicapped by the loss of all but two of last year's track team, this group, mostly underclassmen, valiently did its bit to help enlarge W.-U.

The team, consisting of John Grove, Charles Emiegh, Percy Hershberger, Harry Mishler, Ralph Mishler, Melvin Berkey, Elmer Rhodes, James Maley, Lloyd Yost, Robert Mowry, Carroll Anderson, Paul Rummel, Joseph Evans, and Robert Harley, proved themselves worthy of having as their home ground one of the best cinder tracks in western Pennsylvania.

Feeling the need of an organization to promote girls' sports, the many girls who were interested met and elected officers for the Girls' Athletic Association. Those elected were Barbara Henderson, Presidentg Betty Boyle, Vice-President, Thelma Price, Secretary, Arbutus Price, Treasurer, and Betty Succop, Activities Chairman. All except freshman girls are eligible. A system, whereby points are accumulated during three years' membership, will determine those to whom letters will be given in the senior year. These points may be gained in any of the following sports: archery, basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, track, and volley ball. Betty Succop Named Archery Queen The title of archery queen was awarded to Miss Betty Succop in a tourna- ment held last fall at W.-U. Y. high school. Miss Succop, amember of the junior class, won easily by a margin of 30 points. Those participating in the meet found in her an able rival who easily scored several bullseyes. Miss Succop is one of the outstanding girl athletes of W.-U. Y. H. School. Seniors Shaded The junior class again sponsered a championship team as the seniors were shaded in the battle for interclass basketball title. Scoring easily against freshmen and sophomore teams, the juniors found little difficulty in van- quishing the senior team composed mostly of last year's varsity team. This victory gave the juniors the right to claim interclass championship. W.-U. Y. Girls Play Mushball The interclass mushball season was greeted by the girls of W.-U. Y. as the freshmen routed the seniors. Other games to follow will be played at noon on the athletic field. These games were free to all students of W.-U. Y. who wished to attend them. Tennis Tournament New Attraction For the first time in the history of W.-U. Y., a tennis tournament was held on the various courts in Westmont.

Natalie AugustineAAn assorted lot of very short pencils in excellent condition to an economical junior. jean Barnhart-To an up and coming young vocalist a few extra high notes from The Marriage of Nannettef' Richard BenchoE-My set of bruised shins to any member of the '36 football team.

State Theater ticket seller to Harry Allendorfer one Thursday: Young man, why aren't you at school? Oh, it's all right, sir, l've got measles. A Johnstown doctor says that there are fewer girl sopranos since women started smoking. That's the greatest argument we've ever heard in favor of women's smoking. Jeannette Neafach's brother-in-law advertises the perfect bridge lamp. It is light enough to see by and too heavy to throw. Melvin Berkey: Do you believe that jazz is dying? Mr. Belles: I don't know, but it always sounds to me as if it were suffer- ing horribly. Was it a W.-U. Y. freshman who thought noodle soup was a kind of shampoo? Merle Woods: Why is it that you always smoke quarter cigars? Bob Warren: Somebody else always smokes the other three quarters. Betty Williams: So jim Ogle was the life of the party? Nookie Price: Yes, he was the only one who could yell louder than the radio. The PHOENICIAN C915 The Calendar Dearest Diary, I wonder why I'm so blue? Could it be that today is Septem- ber 3 and school opened again? My only consolation is that I'm not one of the many bewildered freshmen who doesn't know the principal's office from the boiler room. Things are picking up, getting a brighter outlook. Today, September 6, the Girls' League was introduced to the new members and vice versa, by means of a reception. lice cream and things.j Diary, I had my first senior thrill on October 8-I posed for my picture for the Phoenician! I do hope it comes out well. The rhythm of heavenly jazz coming from our new amplifying system just installed this October 9 keeps going through my head and reminding me of noon dancing. The seniors know how to combine business with pleasure by this enterprise. Strike one up for the freshman. Casting aside their shyness, they learned to dance at the first freshman party of W.-U. Y. on October 11. They had a grand time too. Right now is the end of two unusually enjoyable days for us hardworking school children. October 24-25 Teachers' Institute and no school! Isn't a vaca- tion grand? I'm tired, I'm sleepy, but I'm so happy and still completely wide-awake That Ha1lowe'en Dance was more fun than a barrel of 'spooks'. I'll never forget this October 31. My good friend Diary, I tried for hours to get into that sophomore party tonight, and it seems that November 8 is my unlucky day, because for some un- known reason no seniors were allowed to see that floor show and the whole excellent entertainment. The sophomores surely know how to give a party. A minute of silence, a serious thought about the meaning ofArmistice Day, and I find that a depth of feeling exists for most people about the glory and relief of that November 11. Tonight, November 22, was the climax offour years' waiting and anticipating. We gave our senior play, The Rise of Silas Laphamf' andl feel a rise of pride and thrill at belonging to a class which has such an excellent group of actors. November 27 means one grand thing-the Thanksgiving Dance held by the seniors. And better yet, this dance was just a prelude to such things as big dinners, baskets for the poor, and vacation tomorrow. PHOENICIAN C925 Calendar The football banquet, held in the cafeteria, gave the boys of the school a chance to blush and stammer, especially those who received their letters. December 6 was a red-letter day for them indeed. W.-U. Y.'s band gave a concert this evening. I thought the pieces were well chosen and exceedingly well played. Also, there's some real solo talent that added a maestro touch to the performance. December I3 was a really pleasant musical evening. Christmas time always means fun, and what better way to start fun than with a dance-a semi-formal affair. December 20 means too the beginning of a much enjoyed vacation. What could be nicer and more unexpected than our varsity's defeating the alumni in the first basketball game of the season. With a 35-26 score, December 27 starts a successful line of games. The Yodler has done it and it was one of the nicest and most successful dances given at Westmont-U. Y. The Yodler jam was given after the basket- ball game of February rr-a dance of unique features and loads of fun. I saw the Marriage of Nannetten tonight. The gay costumes, colorful scenery, and catching music all made up a humorous and well performed operetta. Two nights, February 24-25, seemed hardly enough for such entertain- ment. Dear Diary, I'm exhausted from laughing and doubling over. Today was March 13, and we saw the faculty play basketball. Teachers really can be so nice and so clumsy. Talk about excitement! It's now 2 A. M. of St. Pat'rick's Day, and Johnstown has had another flood. The water is 18 feet deep. I'll never get to sleep. All my plans were in vain, for because of the flood vacation we had no Easter vacation. No dance either, planned for April 8. Could we help it if there was a flood? Diary, I'm almost afraid to turn out the lights. Thank goodness today is Friday May 15, and not Friday 13, because I saw The Cat and the Canary, a mystery play given by the juniors, and it made me all jittery. It was clever. Oh! Diary, we had the most elegant prom tonight-Gorgeous dresses and corsagese-and that last dance-I don't think I'll ever forget May 29, 1936. Tonight we had our Baccalaureate service, june 7. I feel really inspired to go out and do great things. Do you think I'll be worthy of their trust in me? It's over, and it happened so quickly, june I2 just cut off everything and I am choked up with feeling. We were graduated tonight, and feel only regret at leaving Westmont-Upper Yoder High School. C939 The PHOENICIAN The PHOENICIAN Friends A friend in need is a friend indeed -and did the Phoenician staff learn that axiom by heart this year, When the bottom fell out of our plansfwhen Miss McGann became ill-and it seemed as if we had to edit a yearbook without an adviser, the possibility of W.-U. Y.'s receiving a 1936 Phoenician seemed absolutely nil. We tried looking brave for the first few weeks, all of us undoubt- edly secretly accepting failure, and then the friends indeed started showing themselves. Miss McGann reappeared in january as adviser, but the friends still showed their willingness to help. It is with an almost inex- pressible gratitude that we, the 1936 staff, thank these following kind helpers: Mr. Williard Ackley Mr. Oscar Belles Miss Margaret Greer Mr. C. Vaughn Mclllnay Miss Mary Frances Tarr Miss Roberta Williams Mr. Wilson, printer Mr. Donald Young, engraver Division Page scenes taken in Stackhouse Park.
