After hearing Mr. Shap- pell speak, I feel sure I shall enjoy my senior year in high schoolg that is, ii' I follow the advice he set forth in his opening speech. Here are a few notes taken from that talk: Happiness and success in school depend on preparednessf' I guess he believes in that good old stand-by, night work. t'School spirit is developed when the ma- jority ofthe students become actively interested in doing things in common. Assembly cheer- ing and singing, for example. You should be able to say at the end of the year that your school has been a better place because you have been a student there. Following these suggestions of Mr. Shappell will help. School is more than a place to study and recite, more than an experiment with assigned problemsg it is a place to live the actual experi- ences of life itselffl I like this theory of edu- cation. All that the new principal said seems to me to be good advice for all of us to follow during the coming year. Iill try my best! MR' CLARENCE SHAPPELL Principal 4 GUIDIN6 INFLUENCES September 8, 1936 Dear Diary, To-day I met the two new faculty members elected by the School Board. Everyone knows Miss Frances Tarr, a very lively and attractive alumna of Westmont. In addition to teaching sophomore and junior English, she will be the adviser for the Yodler. Mr. Millard P. Robin- son, a tall, handsome newcomer of athletic figure, will teach the freshmen civics, health and gym'l. He will spend his after-school hours as assistant coach. I believe the Board MR' W'LLARD ACKLEY was wise in its selection of new teachers. November 5, 1936 The Board has approved the purchase of a new 1500 watt Kleiglight Spot- light for the auditorium. It will be used in plays, concerts, or any major dra- matic activity given in the auditorium. The Board has promised to push the order through in time to get the light here for our senior play. March 1 2, 1 937 I was rather surprised to see so many members of the School Board at our carnival to-night. You know, diary, secretly I have always stood in awe of the School Board members, for they seem to me so formal and sophisticated. To- night my whole idea was changed, for they were friendly and appeared to be hav- ing as good a time as we students at the carnival. I know now that they are really very human and sympathetic with our school activities. BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right: Mr. Freeman F. Fullerton. Mr. James B. Hershberger. Mr. Foster H. Berkebile.

Iiear Diary, Here are our teachers as we seniors know them, as we see them in their class rooms, as they really are: not stern disciplinarians but nat- ural, friendly human beings. I have found them ready to listen to my problems, to guide me in my decisions, and to smile with me at my mis- takes. I know that I shall always remember their helping hands, the heart-to-heart talks I have had with them, and the time they have spent teaching and advising me. MISS FRANCES TARR Knows her Shakespeare and Cooper as perfectly as she referees a has ketball game or conducts a Russian dance class. MISS CATHERINE REISER The Human History Book.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIGN IN GOVERNMENT Recorded by Herman Streilein A September 10, 1936 Dear Diary, The Student Council will hold its first meeting of the year in the near future. I hope we can continue the good work of last year's Council. If the newly chosen members are as anxious to get started with the work as I am, this year will be a most successful one for our organization. The first task will be the reorganization of the Activities Association. This is an annual occurrence and I look forward to an intensive drive for membership. with a minimum goal of two hundred. Later, I should like to see the Council manage the sale of tickets for the Band Concert. February 9, 1937 I have been thinking over the plans for the Council and find the future holds many additional goals for us. Through the establishment of a lost and found bureau we hope to return many lost articles to their rightful owners. We are striving to initiate a safety program in the school to educate the students in the rules and problems of safe driving. With these objectives in view, I know the organization will function the remainder of the year even more actively than dur- ing the' first semester. March 4, 1937 The Council will present its annual assembly program to-morrow. The theme, These United Statesf' will be given in the form of a typical meeting of the club. The members will discuss the following topics: The Social Security Bill, Robert Hoerleg The Supreme Court and the New Deal, Edward Depp: VVorks Progress Administration, Nancy Cohoeg The President's Second Inaugural Ad- dress, Christine Smithg Congress and Its Projects, Alan Alter. I myself shall act as commentator . We plan to inject a little humor in the program by using Alton Berkey for a stooge.

It was hard to vote because We were not yet acquainted with one another. James Walter was elect- ed president. I think he Will be a good one because he always has been a leader in our class. The remaining officers were elected as follows: vice- president, Clifford St. Clair, treasurer, William Anderson, secretary, Betty Georgeg student council representatives, Nancy Berkebile and Alton Berkey. October 18, 1936 The majority of the freshmeifwere present at our class party. The re- treshment and entertainment committees surely Worked hard and long to make the party the success it was. A portion of the entertainment was an amateur contest. Nancy Campbell and Mary Jeanne Olander kept the audience in an up- roar with their readings. Lois Ringler, accompanied by Mary Louise Hersh- berger, played a trumpet solo, On the Road to Mandalay. Leonard Puma and Paul Allen, who played a saxophone and clarinet duet, Won the contest. Games and refreshments furnished the fun for the rest of the evening. The cider was very popular, especially with the boys. October 26, 1936 Mr. Ott gave us an interesting talk on Parliamentary Law at the class meet- ing we held this morning. I wonder Whether I ever will learn to say the right thing at the right time in a business meeting. lu-Zfllqikfillflf-KCJX .1 as iinxv nsunurnin 1-1 November 3, 1936 To-day in the gymnasium the freshman civics classes held a mock election. The student body voted for President of the United States. Governor Landon won. We voted also on various problems of the- school. Should one period a Week of health education through intra-mural competition be required of all students? Should the number of extra-curricular activities be reduced? Should the Phoe- nician be published jointly by the junior and senior classes? and on alternate years? Should initiations be conducted entirely Within the group? The final results of the voting were never announced. November 20, 1936 Freshmen were excused a half day to visit the Lorain Steel Company. We walked through the foundry, the laboratory, the pattern and machine shops, and other exhibition buildings. It was a long Walk, and We became so hot and tired that we were glad to go home for a good cleaning November 30, 1936 Our November class meeting was held to-day. Mr. Shappell told us of some of his experiences as a private in the World War. April 16, 1937 The freshmen gave a circus. W'hat fun we had! There was a great variety of acts on the program-a Russian dance, a tap dance group, a parade of the Wooden soldiers, an interpretation of No, No, A Thousand Times No by the boys, and clown acts. May l, 1937 My school work is taking up so much of my time now that I shall not be able to tell you any more news. Next year, though. there will be many more activi- ties about which to write.

The summer vacation seems to have lust jumped by. It is something to be a real high school student and not 'ijust a 'fresihief' Those freshmen look like such youngsters. We surely were not that small last year, were we? September 21, 1936 Our class is getting into the swing of things now! To-day, at our class meeting we elected officers. John McCleary, a true leader, is our new president for the year, and t'Charlie Salem, vice-president. Bob Scharmann is secre- tary, and Ripper Collins holds the money bags. October 19, 1936 Mr. Shappell gave us a talk on football in class meeting this morning. For the remaining time, we had a class sing, an effective means of creating fel- lowship in a large group. - November 7, 1936 Our class party was well-planned with good entertainment. The movies in the auditorium made us laugh until our sides hurt. All thought the girls in the floor show looked very attractive in their evening gowns under our new spot- light. The refreshments consisted of punch, cake, cookies, candy, and ice-cream. Novembexg,123, 1936 In class meeting, everyone praised the committee and our advisers, Miss Witt and Mr. Raab, for helping us with the party. Our loyal treasurer voiced his: ap- peal for dues, funds, contributions, and other pecuniary reimbursements. Then, Miss Reiser's home-room staged an original one-act comedy for us. The actors, Lucy Frank, Jack Ogle, Wesley Rohrer, and 'tBob Scharmann, showed original- ity and talent. December 17, 1936 The Band Concert was really an eye-opener. Never before had I realized what a snappy band we have. Their rendition of the Overture from The Barber of Seville was especially well done. A loyal sophomore cannot but be proud of the thirteen members his class lends to this organization. February 14, 1937 NVe have to hand it to Mr. Ackley for his fine work in organizing a girls' chorus. And what a chorus! The-re was an overflowing house at their first con- cert. They sang a pleasing variety of songs which showed a real finish in color and tone. I heard some of the fellows say that they wished there were a boys' chorus. ' March 30, 1937 The early spring gales during our Easter vacation were welcomed by every- one, for we came back to school to-day refreshed and ready to carry on our school work with greater zest. April 9, 1 937 Breaking all precedent, we sophomores sponsored a dance. In addition to being a go socially, it also did the general coffers fill. Jimmy Cannin's Orchestra supplied the rhythm. The blue and yellow decorations and balloons made the gym cheerful and gay. We showed the school that the sophomores also can put it over. April 15, 1937 Our class is taking an active part in intra-mural sports. Mr. Mcllnay directs the tournamnts which keep the' contest spirit at a high tide. The sophomores have won first place in soccer, second in volley-'ball, and second and third places for the A and B teams in the basketball tournament. Charles Han- nan is the school champ in ping pong. We have yet to see how the tennis match will turn out. SOPHOMORE GlRLS First Row: Jane Maley, Betty Reid. Jeannette Barnhart. Dorothy Davis.

Our new class officers were introduced: Alan Alter, presidentg Sara Brickner, vice-presidentg Doro- thy Mulhollen, secretaryg and Robert Barnhart, treasurer. We also made plans for the 6'Jung1e Hop to be held October 30. October 30, 1936 Ihave just returned from f'The Jungle Hop , the first dance held by our class this year. The decorations were original. Pictures of jungle animals, Sey- mour the hippo, Fanny the elephant, Timmy the lion, and Gracie the baboon, lined the Walls of the gymnasium. The dances, the Tiger Drag and the Monkey Swing, were named after animals. The Hop was fun-and so different. November 9, 1936 At our second class meeting, it was reported that the s'Jungle Hop had added 9525 to our treasury. December 23, 1936 We distributed the Christmas issue of our Yodler this afternoon. I don't Wish to boast, diary, but I think We did a rather good piece of Work. It really is an excellent issue, with its Christmas engraving, and snappy, clever articles. The juniors think some improvements have been made in the Yodler this year. January 8, 1 937 We had our pictures taken for the Phoenician at the Tenth Street entrance, I hope they turn out Well. It was bitter cold and We were just about frozen. f-ae February 14, 1937 The Yodler Dance to-night was an evening of fun and frolic. Bob Waters' orchestra was tops , and the attractive red and White' decorations made the gym- nasium a beautiful scene. Some odd combinations were brought together in the Broken Heart dance. Everyone thought the Lonely Heart dance quite a novel idea. February 17, 1937 The play committee has decided on Twelfth Night as our class play. All the would-be actors are wondering who will get the leads, each one hoping for some small part. Try-outs will be held next Monday. The committees for the Easter Dance and the Prom were announced. March 27, 1 937 The Spring Swing. A full moon, an excellent orchestra and everyone in new Easter gowns made this one grand evening. We juniors seem to be very suc- cessful in scoring such delicious , delightful , de lovely dances that every- one enjoys. May 7, 1937 A night of all nights for us juniors-the junior play, Twelfth Night . Our Shakesperean actors and actresses acted in sixteenth century costumesg Howard Ideson and Virginia Wright being the romantic loversg Gustave Margo- lis and Jean Ann Evans furnishing the comedyg dances and attendants making the play a noteworthy production. May 21, 1937 The Junior-Senior-ithe evening we had anticipated for three years came to-night. It was a beautiful affair-the orchestra, the' lights, the long dresses, the flowers and decorations. The seniors thought it was the most splendid af- fair of the year. JUNIOR GIRLS Brickner, Ruth Davis, Dorothy Pikovsky, Dorothy Rosenberger, Rita Finklestein, Mary Estelle Gilroy. Mar- Horner.

OUR LGVERS September 13, 1936 Dear Diary, Today, we of the Biology Club will take the first of our field trips through Stackhouse Park. There will be a wonderful chance to learn to differentiate be- tween various kinds of wild flowers, trees, insects, and ferns. I am sure all of us will become great lovers of nature. I have always enjoyed walking through the woods, and now I can learn something new on. each trip. As part of the work, we will help Miss Canan make a map of the ferns found in the Park. September 20, 1936 We had a wonderful time this afternoon on our field trip, and were we thrilled with our new discoveries! We found many wild flowers, some insects, and some ferns for Miss Cananls map. Those we found are rather abundant. They are the spiney wood, boulder, New York, and Christmas ferns. In quite a few areas we found the cinnamon, interrupted, sensitive, and lady ferns. Am I getting good on ferns! Just wait, diary, until I go hiking with the gang again, won't I show them something? September 27, 1936 Well, we are progressing! Today we found maidenhair, marginal, silvery spleenwort, and broad beech fernsg the latter are rather scarce in our Park. We found also the Goldies' fern which is a rare species in the entire state. I used to walk through the Park scarcely seeing anything, but now I am so careful where I step that sometime I'm going to break my neck trying not to step on a jack- in-the-pulpit. November 3, 1936 Did you know that the silvery spleenwort found in the Stackhouse Park is the only speciman in Cambria County? Well, neither did I, but our club sent a speciman we found to Carnegie Museum, and it seems our judgment was cor- rect. I am proud that I helped to find it. In the spring we are going to study birds. From now on I am going to keep my eyes open. I never realized how much I was missing until I started hunt- ing and Hseeingl' with the Biology Club. 7 Recorded by Leah Rodstein and Marilyn Griffith September 4, 1936 Dear Diary, A Yodler meeting was called to-day- unusual since Monday is the day for the Yodler staff to sprout worry lines and to go to work. The special rush was in prep- aration for the first issue of the Yodler, which goes to press tomorrow. Every- thing was rushed through, last minute ar- ticles received the ,final signature, and the dummy was arranged. Since we- are all YODLER EXECUTNES optimistic as a seed catalogue, we predict Standing Sara Lou Daley. Barbara Murdock, a favorable reaction to this issue from the Rita Finkelstein, William Price. Seated Howard Ideson. Leah Rodstein. Student September 25, 1936 To-day in our regular assembly the Yodler staff launched a campaign for Yodler subscriptions. It was our purpose to convince the students that the most of the best for the least was worth thirty-five cents. The scene of our skit was laid in a park in which an edition of the Yodler was distributed as a sur- prise. The miniature play was evidently a success, as it resulted in a flow of subscriptions for the paper. November 14, 1936 The business department was a little financially embarrassed, so we had a rummage sale and came out a little worn but with colors fiying. We' made twelve dollars, enough to pay some bills without disturbing our growing bank account. April 16, 1937 Returning to the job of writing articles seems much easier now that the Yodler Dance lifted a debt from our shoulders. This year we are going to break the tradition of letting the sophomores put out the two final editions. The last issue, intended to be the prime of our efforts, will be one devoted to graduation. The theme will be a comparison of the 1927 and 1937 graduating classes.

THE RED AND GRAY BANDSMEN Recorded by Virginia Wright September 18, 1936 Dear Diary, Fifty-two musicians and would be's turned out for thefirst band rehearsal of 1936-37. Mr. Horner has promised to enter us in parades, in Forensic League contest, and all of Johnstown's band contests. Wirth these competitions as a goal and the inspiration derived from the large number in our band we ought to gain great glory. September 25, 1936 To-night was the premiere of the new band uniforms. Truly, the most thrilling sight throughout the game with Catholic High was our band. The striking contrast between the drum major's uniform, red trimmed in gray, and the regular uniform, gray trimmed in red, was effective. The brilliant lights of the Point Stadium brought out the color scheme to perfection. I overheard one man say, If they play as well as they look, they ought to be worth hearing. We hope that our playing may even excell our appearance, for our concert is not very far in the future. A January 12, 1937 To-day Mr. Horner handed out the music for Forensic League, Youth Tri- umphant, and a new arrangement by Paul Yoder, 'fRimsky Karsakowf' More hard work, but more fun, too. A March 1, 1937 Nine musicians, Jeannette Barnhart, Charles Cook, Doris Fox, Murial Green, Helen Lane, Alta Momberger, Dorothy Mulhollen, Sara Jane Waters, and myself have been selected from our band to attend the All We'stern Band at Som- erset, March 18, 19, and 20. I think it is quite an honor to be chosen as a rep- resentative. March 11, 1937 Our Band played the Forensic League numbers in assembly to-day, VVe must have made an impression, for nxany students praised our playing. I hope we can do as well in actual Forensic League competition. FQ .. Ft F5 Q A - Fx FOOTBALL SQUAD First Row: Robert Collins, Asst. Mgr.: Joe Evans, Frank Kelly, Lloyd Yost.

THE ATI-ILETICVSEASON OPENS I September 19, 1936. Dear Diary, Westmont 6-Meyersdale 0. To-day our football team started oft' in great fashion by 'beating Meyersdale. It wasn't an impressive victory, and there was plenty of room for improvement, but it certainly felt good to win. Emeigh scored in the first half after a steady march down the field. September 25, 1936. Catholic High 13-Westmont 0. ' I feel tired and discouraged to-day. It's queer how winning or losing affects me. Putting up a great battle last night at the Point stadium didn't score us anything. I guess we must have played well, though, as we held Catholic High with very little gain until those last few minutes. We even outplayed them in first downs. October 3, 1936. Shade Township 13--Westmont 6. Trod down again! I started out by watching the first quarter from the side lines, and what I saw wasn't pleasing. Shade pushed right down to a touchdown. I played the three remaining quarters in gri-ef, Shade scoring once more while we scored our lone touchdown. October 9, 1936. Ferndale 21-Westmont 0. Woe has befallen us. Last night I sat on the bench and watched our arch-rivals, Ferndale, trample us down, and couldn't even have the satisfaction of having a suit on. After waging a fairly even battle, my team-mates tried a fiukey lateral on their own twenty. It was fumbled and recovered by the Ferndale team, who promptly scored. ' This took place within three minutes of half time. The second half, the Yel- low Jackets scored twice more with comparative ease, while our fellows struggled, trying to hold Ferndale's score down. October 16, 1936. Westmont 2-Adams Township 0. This afternoon we swam to victory, and once more I'm happy. In the second quarter, after having pushed Adams against their own goal, one of their backs was dropped. 'behind the goal line giving us the winning two points. The field was completely rain soaked. There was no further scoring. 'El:H5 as FOOTBALL INDIVIDUALS Too Row: Julius Little. Andrew Bezek, Harrv Tredennick. James Caddv, Robert Mowrey. Bottom Row: Charles Emeigh. Harry Rodgers.

Again we scored more first downs, but it's still the touch downs that count six points. DuBois had a little back whom we just couldn't hold down. They scored first, but we followed almo-st immediately with our touch down and try for point. Not far along in the second period they again crossed our line. It still looked like a chance, 'but we couldn't score again. Their final score came within a short time of the final whistle. October 31, 1936. Westmont 14-Franklin 7. Hurrah! This afternoon we pulled through again, and the score didn't show quite how well we did. We marched right down Franklin's field to score th.e only touchdown of the first half. The second half we started out again and scored, but too-k a little more time. Not long' afterwards a Franklin linesman inter- cepted aipoorly thrown pass and Wasn't touched until he had crossed into the promised land . He ran about seventy yards for this score. November 6, 1936. Somerset 19-Westmont 0. This afternoon we went to Somerset and were properly Htroiun-ce'd in the 'poorest exhibition of our season. Everything went wrong and it seemed as though Somerset scored at will. I don't like even to think about it. . 1 November 13, 1936. Ebenswburg 26-Westmont 13. Last night at Ebensiburg, I played my last game of W. U. Y. football. Although We again lost, all of us enjoyed the game tothe utmost. An Ebensiburg punt went out of bounds on our two yard line. Their return of Little's'punt1put them in scoring position and they didn't pass up the chance. They weren't cap- able of handling our next advance, though, and we scored almost immediately. This appeared merely to inspire 'a renewed attack by Ebefnsiburg, who scored aglin. Not to be outdone, we again opened up a vicious attack and retaliated. This seemed like a lot of scoring before half time. At the half, the score stood at 20-13, in ofur rivals' favor. The 'second half, scoring was at a comparative standstill, Ehensburg making the remaining six points to win 26-13. November 14, 1936 Now that the last game of the season has been played, I like to look back over the football season, and think of the fellows who were my team mates in the games. Captain Jule Little, the full back, leaves two outstanding impressions with me: first, of his punting, which so often set opponents backg and second, of the pleasure and joy it was to know he was backing up the line with bone-crushing' tackles. . Jim Caddy, right end. I shall remember for the pass he caught against Franklin and the many times he started even with everyone else and smashed plays before they got started. Bob Mowery, right tackle, was one great guy to play next to on a line when the going became tough. Many opponents fell by the wayside when he started his dynamic charge. 'tRed Hess, back, was most assuredly the slowest getting out to practice, but once he got in a game he played hard and moved fast. Innumerable are the tim-es he came speedily up to smash a play on the line of scrimmage or to make long gains tor the Red and Gray. Jim Maley. left guard, held his own against all?comers. Catholic High backs whom he flattened coul.l vouch for this. Many would-be tacklers were properly set down when Jim ran interferences. Chizzie Emeigh, back, was the speed king of the squad, as so many tacklers found out to their dismay. Although he misjudged several punts, his elusiveness enabl-ed him to evade many tacklers. Tom Ro-dgers, center, was another bulwark in backing up the line, few were bad passes he sent to backs. Even with a heavy, wet ball, as in the Adams Township game, he passed the ball unerringly. Bob Harley, right guard. f'tJule Little writing for Bob J. Ball carriers learned to know Bob a great deal better after one fateful trip over guard. He played a great deal of the game in the oppo- nent's backfield. The enemy's favorite expression was t'Get that guy, or he'll get us. Al Jones, combination back and end, gave remarkable performances in both positions. He spilled most plays that came his way. His blocking aided backs in gaining many precious yards, and his near perfect passes counted for many more yards. Pee.Wee Tredennick, tackle, whose immense hands stopped more than one opposing ambitious back, was the big man of the squad. When he started accelerating his huge fram-e into the enemy's backtfield, I was always sure things would happen, and not to him. Andy Bezek, back, proved his merits in the many left-handed passes which 'he threw. Many times he started around on a reverse, a threat in itself, only to fade back and rifle a bullet pass into the enemy's secondary. Budie ' Budash, end, wreaked great havoc on enemy backs who had the nerve to think they could traiinple on his one hundred and thirty-five pounds. Many a punter was greatly harried by Buddfe'sl' speedv rus es. ' The loyalty ofthe second squad, the subs, and the managers has been very helpful and will not be forgotten soon. Finally and outstanding among my memories ist the work and leadership of Coaches Engh and Robinson. I. as well as the rest of the boys, shall always treasure the memory of how they labored with us and taught us the lessons in both football and life. K l . 'i QE. A . I., SCENES FROM FRANKLIN vs. WESTIWONT U-Y. GAME A, OUR BOYS' CLUB October 2, 1936. Dear Diary, In a few minutes I shall go to the first meeting of the Boys' Club. I understand from the fellows that the purpose of the programs this year is to give an appraisal of contemporary life. Mr. Mcllnay, the faculty adviser, and the officers decide the policies of the club. I think they are to be congratulated on their decisions. It is about time to go down to the auditorium now. I am anxious to see 'Charles Price, our president, take charge of this first meeting. Later The program was very Worthwhile. Mr. Robinson made a comparison between the hard knocks that have to be taken in athletics to gain perfection, and the corresponding distasteful -duties that have to be performed to achieve success in life. Mr. Engh and Mr. Shappell gave informal talks on football, Coach Engh illustrating his points with some of his famous stories. Mr. Shalppell made a few general but very appropriate remarks. We were very pleasantly surprised when the faculty quartet, composed of Mr. Ackley, Mr. lingh, Mr. James, and Mr. Shappell, sang 'tAlma lVIateI ' and the Bulldog on the Bank. November 6, 1936. I was impressed with the many phases of Rev. Fultonls trip to California, as he related them in our meeting. He told us of the unusual places he had visited, diderent customs he had seen, and various types of people he had met. I enjoyed hearing of his excursion through the Redwood Park, where, he explained, the giant and oldest living trees stand. He gave us a very good description of a group of religious fanatics who live in Arizona and display their devotion by self-torture. Our president introduced another interesting speaker to us today--Dr. E. C. Boyer, who presented a travelogue of his trip to Alaska. tThe Girls' League members were our guests.l The technicolor pictures and his comments captivated the entire assembly. Many of the pic- tures taken from an airplane which flew his party into the interior showed the smoking volcanoes and the beautiful timber-clad mountains covered with snow. Dr. Boyer said the terrain became more Ibarren as the party proceeded northward. They were lost for fourteen days and spent most of their time hunting. Pictures of animal life and trophies were shown. This hunter and traveler thrilled me with his adventures. BOYS' CLUB OFFICERS Left to right: Freeman Fullerton. Charles Price.

Dear Diary, At the first affair of the year for the Girls' League, the freshman girls were introduced to their big sisters. They Hmixedn well with the upper-classmen and seemed to have a fine time except when refreshments were servedg then, alas, the upper-classmen forgot their 'tlittle sisters and exclaimed, Ev-ery girl for herself . Much as it pains me to say it, there wasn't enough food to go around. No hard feelingsg we had fun anyway. November 6, 1936. After the Girls' League meeting today, the girls w-ere humming l Feel Like a Feather in the Breeze . You see, diary, we had a dancing' lesson. The girls who could dance taught those who could not. The program was particularly appropriate 'because it carried out one of the important phases of our theme, Arts as Avocationsv. December 4, l 936.

Goodness, we have skipped a meeting again, but it could not be helped, for other affairs had to take the place of our meetings. We did, however, have a particularly line programg with the Boys' Club, we enjoyed Dr. Boyer's pictures of his Alaskan t1'ip. April 2, 1937. We had a grand time today drinking 'tpunch at the Tea Dance, the hrst of such affairs held in our gym this year. There was a small admission fee to cover the cost of having our picture in the Phoenician. May 10, 1937. A Mother-Daughter Tea is always the perfect way to end a Girls' League Year. This year the Tea, characterized by bright spring frocks, luscious cakes, and bountiful good-will between all the mothers and girls, climaxed the activities of the League.

GUR FEMININE ATI-ILETES Recorded by Betty Succop ' October 28, 1936. Dear Diary, To-day the seniors won the arch-ery tournament of 1936. Dolly Thomas was high scorer, and thus considerably boosted the senior score. Peggy Harmon took second place, and with her aim it seems the juniors should have a good chance of being the 1937 champions. Anna Ferg, Olene Stiffler, and Betty Neafach were the other senior archers. December 15, 1936. In the past four weeks I have been playing deck tennis. Although, at Hrst, I didn't see how I was going to be able to catch the whirling ring, I have finally succeeded. The class B sophomore team, captained by Joanna Hager, came through as champions. From my gym club records I found Lillian Bromund, Josephine Kapitan, Ruth Ringler, Emily Wilson, and Elaine Young leading the freshman class, Anna Jean Drager, Betty Glosser, Joanna Hager, and Viola Safko leading the sophomore classg and Arbutus Price, Dolly Thomas, and myself boosting the seniors. January 24, 1937. What a close game that was with the freshnen today! They nearly had 'us seniors beaten. but in the end it seems we can't be beat when it comes to basketball. The sophomore team. captained by Anna Jean Drager, took second place, with only one defeat. Helen Blozovitch and Betty Glosser, on 'opposing teams, each captured honors for high score, while Irene Swarny and Julia Virus stopped many an opposing forward. The close guarding of the seniors, Arbutus Price, Dolly Thomas, and Anna Ferg along with Helen Ke-rr's crack shots cleared our path. Grace Tilley was a barrier to break through on the junior team, Sara Brickner and Betty Lou Rinebiolt served double duty as forwards and guards. The three freshman teams produced several outstanding players. Nancy Berkebile, Mary Gritzer, Joan Ogle, and Nancy Maxwell played on opposing freshman teams as forwaridsg Lillian Bromund, Elizabeth Kohler, Natalie Mills, and Margaret Wolstencroft were the worry of the forwards. February 15, 1 937. I attended a meeting of the Gym Club to-day. We made plans for a circus to be given in April and for volley ball, baseball, and tennis tournaments, irtthe spring. ML fl The Road to Yesterday Recorded by Jane Blough November ll, 1936. Dear Diary, We have one more week in which to prepare for our senior class play, 'tThe Road to Yesterday . The re- hearsals I am enjoying immensely. There is never a dull moment. Ifbby Thomas and Dave Greenberg are continually jangling over their linesg and to-night Greenberg's trousers found their way into the hands of some 'practical joker. 'Clete Pletchar and Tom- my Rial thrill me, as they duel across the Hoor. Jamey Novotney makes an excellent gypsy and can handle a knife unusually well. Betty Succop paddles across the floor swatting drooping Bob Hoerle, who wakes with a start. fBetty seldom misses.J Charles Crouse is frequently seen stuffing paper in his high boots to take up some of the extra space with- in. Tatty Thomas almost sinks under the weight of her attractive but heavy head gear. Nancy Cohoe and Bob Mercer, the play's heroine and hero, make love fexperienced-likeb. I'll be sorry to see these rehearsals end. November 20, 1936. To-night marked the gala performance of HThe Road To Yesterday . For us behind stage it proved rather a nerve-racking experience to wait that eternity before the curtain rose. 'Miss Greer peered anxiously from a side curtain. Anna Ferg was ready to prompt at any moment. Helen Kerr ran around with a jug under her arm, ready for service. 'tBob Harley did a good job of regulating the lights. Hermie Streilein supported a piece of scenery-a window, l think. Harry Tredennick tugged at the curtain rope. During the performance, Paul Lentz fell out of a window accidentally and was almost trampe-cl upon by the Hery mob. The rest of us fawaiting our en- trancesb bit: our nails. All our work proved worth- while, as the play was acclaimed a tremendous suc- cess. Practices have ceased now but memories will remain. The Cat and the Canary May 15, 1936. Dear Diary, As I crawl out of my mani-ac outfit and try to fix the studs of my wboiled shirt, I shall attempt to give you a Greer's eye view of the mystery 'play of the class of 1937, The Cat and the Canary . 1 For the first production :by our class, it wasn't so bad as it might have beeng but there was a time when a certain maniac fThomas Rialb forgot to come in, while poor Mammy fAnna Fergl and Annabelle fNancy Cohoej ha-d to make up lines that the author never dreamed of having in his play. This was Just one of life's most embarrassing moments. Ah, such IS life-but the show must go on! PEEITE .

I have just returned from the auditorium where the induction ceremonies for the ten new Hi-Y mem- bers were held. Candles furnished the only light. The meaning of each part of the Hi-Y emblem was explained by the officers, Bob Harley, Harry Tredennick, Charles Cook, and Charles Crouse. November 1 9, 1 936. I liked Mr. Raab's informal talk to us about his trip last summer to the Texas Centennial and the Carlsbad Caverns: Mr. Raafb acts very ably as faculty adviser to the -club. Dec-ember 10, 1936. Coach Engh's explanation of the value of clean sports started a part of this year's program which emphasises the four-plank platform of the Hi-Y. In his enlightening talk, Coach showed how' the habit of fair play at our present age will carry over into later iffe. December 14, 1936. Charles Cook and Sanford Blougb, our representa- tives at the state Hi-Y convention at Hollidaysburg, reviewed the activities of the 'convention where the problems of young people and of other clubs were discussed. December 29, 1936. This aifternoon, Bob Harley, Bud Collins, and Bob Ideson Won a swimming meet from the South Fork Hi-Y for our club. February 2, 1937. We entered a Bible study contest entitled Youth in the Home to-day. I like this type of program. for it draws young people together in free and open discuss- ion of vital problems. Mr. Traugh, secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., led the discussion this morning. HI-Y INITIATIONS Top: Paul Lentz, Ted Boyer, Charles Supnes, Robert Collins.

They are Dorothy Potter, presidentg Betty Lou Rinebolt, vice-president, and Concetta Maiorana, secretary, To be relieved oi' paying dues is a distinct advantage of this club. Oh, I am only kidding , diary, for no matter how high the dues would be, I'm sure this club would be worth while joining. December 4, 1936. Are my feet tired? After running here and there serving turkey to all those hungry football fellows, l feel as though l'd just love to drop into bed and sleep for ages! But how splendidly the serving progressed, probably because Miss Witt had assigned to each of us a special duty, and gave us' definite instructions at special meetings held before the banquet. Miss Witt told us afterwards that this was the best regu- lated football banquet given in our school since she has been teaching here. And were we proud of the boys when they received their letters! December 12, 1936. W'ell, it is almost Christmas time. We girls have decided to make most of our gifts in Home Arts Club. I think I'll make a bracelet and three or four braided belts for my friends. Some of the girls are making red and gray felt hats, gingham aprons, and attractive little pictures. Making our own gifts this year will reduce the cost of our Christmas lists. December 1 9, l 936. At our meeting today, as at all our previous meetings, we discussed some problems of the modern house- wife. These were really very interesting, and almost everyone had a question to ask. Any girl who intends to get married tand most of us dob should belong to this club, for along with the grand times we have, we learn many things that will aid in making our future homes happy and well regulated ones. December 20, 1 936. We had our pictures taken at three o'clock. We were seated around a table, each one with our sewing in hand, just as though we were having a meeting. I think the picture will be a good one. I can hardly wait to see it. , January 4, 1937. I am so happy! I learned today that our next big project will be the Junior-Senior Prom. We will serve and probably help decorate, as we did for the football banquet. I am anticipating the Prom, and only hope we will be as successful as we were with the banquet. D 'FEE Tl-lE GIRL RESERVES Recorded by Helen Kerr December 4, 1936. Dear Diary, We are doing so many exciting and interesting things in the Girl Reserves this year that I'm just bubbling over with news. We held a style show, with Nancy Cohoe, Lois Moore, Peggy Harmon, and myself as models. Each oif us modeled a sport dress, an afternoon or street dress, and an evening gown. The dresses were very chic and attractive. ln a few words, dia1'y, the style show went over bigf, January 18, 1937. To-day we Girl Reserves had a most interesting speak-er, Mrs. Clarence Ostheim. Her address held the attention of all the girls, as it dealt, primarily, with our theme for this year, 'tPersonal1ty and Charm. During the last part of the program, all the girls blended their voices in singing popular songs. February 22, 1 937. Miss Witt, our adviser, further enlightened us on our theme subject, Personality, She gave us a delightful and entertaining talk on Clothes and Personality. By pointing out the various color schemes and proper color combinations for different types of girls, she showed us how to decide upon the colors we should wea1'. March 3, l 937. To prove further that our club meetings are different, a fascinating stage show was presented by a number of professional dancers. It consisted of novelty tap dances, graceful ballets, and several other beautifully costumed acts. The program was truly unusual. ' April 2, 1931. To climax our fun fests we entertained the Hi-Y boys this evening at an April Fool's party. The decorations and invitations were backward in April Fool's fashion. Everyone had fun with a two-reel com- edy, dancing, and games for entertainment. The large variety of eats pleased all of us. We should enjoy such parties anytime. April 23, 1 937. We treated the -entire school to an assembly program in G, R. style. D1'. Nicely, minister of the First Lutheran Church, spoke to us in his enthusiastic and enlightening manner. The small group of the Girls' Chorus, composed chiedy of Girl Reserve members, sang several selections. GIRL RESEIRVES CABINET Kneeling: Christine Smith.

Tl-IE GIRLS' CHORUS Recorded by Jean Barnhart February 14, 1937 Dear Diary, Resplendent in our new red and white pique outfits, we members of the newly or- ganized girls' chorus gave our first concert to-day. The two groups, a full chorus of sixty- two voices and a small group of eighteen voices were directed by Virginia Wright, Ruth Davis, and myself. , The small group of selected voices grew popular almost over-night. We have been called upon to sing at fraternity meetings, Women's social gatherings, and at church services. March 5, 1937 ljust returned from one of the best parties that has been given in school for a long time. Such spirit and friendliness! We girls certainly showed the boys how a party 'should go and how self-reliant We can be. We did our own decorating, too. . To-day at practice, We voted as to whether We would enter Forensic League or present a joint concert with the boys. Unanimously- A joint concert with the boys. March 30, 1937 Our Girls' Chorus sang at the joint Parent-Teacher Association meeting this evening. Inspired by the success of the Girls' Chorus, approximately fifty boys made their debut. Under the baton of Bill Price, they sang very Well, and of course We girls clapped loudly. May 14, 1937 Closing a busy season of engagements and concerts, the Girls' and Boys' Choruses pre- sented a joint concert to-night at the high school. The girls gave six numbers, the mixed group, six. I am very sorry that this was the final event of the year as I have enjoyed working in this group so much. VVe can never thank Mr. Ackley enough for organizing and supervis- ing our Work. It is to him that all the laurels for the success of the Choruses should be given. l A . . . n lu ' i!lUAllNll1Ii1N1l!hi JUNIOR DRAMATICS CLUB OFFICERS SENIOR DRAMATICS CLUB OFFICERS Left to right: Betty Hammerle, Joanna Left to right: Sara Brickner, Marilyn Griffith, Naomi Beam.

The patrons certainly enjoyed the delicious home-made goods. Mmm! So did some of us who sampled the cookies and fudge. After counting the money over and over, we found that we had cleared twenty-six dollars. I guess we club members must have had a good sales talkg on the other hand, it might have been the way those cakes were baked. Now, we can buy play books and make-up. December 19, 1936 We had our first lesson in stage craft this afternoon. I never knew there was so much to learn-sound and lighting effects, make-up, stage management and an endless number of back-stage technicalities. It is hard to learn so many details, but the work is fascinating. January 22, 1937 In assembly to-day we presented TheRed Lamp . Under the direction of Miss Kantner, our adviser, the actors gave a splendid performance of this hilarious comedy which centered about a burglar, CErnie Flocklerj, an old maid aunt, ILucy Frankj, two lovers, CBetty George and Ray He-rshbergerj, and an Irish maid, fMary Jeanne Olanderj. The audience applauded enthusiastically. March 19, 1937 Again we treated the assembly to a play. This time it was The Neighborsu, which presentd a more conservative type of humor than that of The Red Lamp . The as- sembly laughed heartily at Joanna Hager's huge hat, and at Bob Miller, the bashful hero, who took Jane Berkebile in his arms-need more be said? , 7 L JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB SENICR DRAMATICS CLUB December 11, 1936 Dear Diary, The American Tourists, the play staged to-day by the Senior Dramatics Club, sure- ly kept the assembly on the edge of their seats. But no wonder-with that cold, dingy room as a setting! To look at the ghastly face of Tommy Rial gave me the chills. How- ard Ideson made me' shiver as he rubbed his hands and brushed the snow from his coat. Every time the door opened, I was sure a hairy claw was going to grab someone. Mari- lyn Griffith's shuddering, Gustave Margolis' accent, and Lois Moorets hysterics kept everyone eager with excitement. The student body will Welcome another such play any- time. March 1 2, l 937 One of the best features of the Carnival to-night was a play, The Diamond Neck- lace, presented by our Dramatic Club. I thought Bob Hoerle perfectly portrayed the handsome, gentleman crook. I wondered how Nancy Cohoe, who played Mrs. Simms- Vane, the calm, patient, paralyzed old lady, could sit so still for the length of the play, or how Ibbie Thomas did the part of a lady crook with an innocent face so perfectly, for she isn't that type of girl at all. Cletus Petchar, Dave Segel, and Pickles Trindle thrilled me when they burst into the room to arrest the criminal. They acted just like real policemen! The Dramatics Club and Miss Reiser, the adviser, certainly deserve roses for their performance of the second thrilleri' this year.

Tl-IE ORCI-IVESTRA February 18, 1937 Dear Diary, At orchestra practice to-day, we were introduced to Menuetto, by Haydn, the re- quired number for the Forensic League Contest. All the members like it, and will do their best to make a success of it in the contests. This year, we anxiously look forward to each practice, during which we can perfect ourselves in the playing of numbers that may make our orchestra the prize winner. March 5, 1937 What a thrill I had to-day in assembly-to stand, baton in hand and direct the sweet floating sounds from a score of strings and horns. Our orchestra is composed of such am- bitious and talented musicians that we are not satisfied to repose in our seats and play, but must stand on the wooden platform and wave our arms to the best of the blasting horns, the roaring drums, and the melodious notes from the strings. April 19, 1937 To-day we were greatly disappointed to learn that, because of no competition, our orchestra will be unable to compete in the Forensic League Contests at State College. How- ever, we are anxiously looking forward to our trip to Altoona, where the state champion- ship will be decided. April 30, 1937 Our orchestra will look forward to thrilling the audience with our low, soft music as the lights are dimmed during junior play, The Twelfth Night . We will enjoy this new sensation, for it is very seldom that we have a chance' to play this type of music. May 3, 1937 Commencement, the last event in the school year, is a bad on for us who are mem- bers ,of the orchestra. Many times we will rehearse The Military March and other num- bers to be played that night. Much of the fun and experience we gain by playing in this orchestra is undoubtedly due to the hard work of our director, Mr. Horner. He has spent many hours helping us blow sweeter notes from our horns and push the bow across the strings less like a saw. As a member and a senior, I quite regret the thought of leaving this organization to which I have been loyal during my four years in high school. 38 THE DEBATE CLUB February 26, 1937 Dear Diary, Well, in assembly to-day we had the debate on the Forensic League subject, Re- solved: That, all electric utilities shall be governmentally owned and operated. We were anxious to see what kind of an impression our debate team would make upon the school. No one seemed to be bored. Emmet Salem was chairman of the debate and handled it very capably. Ibbie Thomas, the first affirmative speaker, gave a long introduction and quoted her figures in the Floyd Gibbons manner. Sara Brickner, the first negative speaker, emphasized Americanism as shown in private ownership of utilities. I spoke next and talked so long on lobbying that I didn't have time to mention holding companies. Gustave Margo- lis, the last speaker, appealed dramatically to the audience. The rebuttal was featured by a display of sarcasm between Gus and myself. We knew better, but had a lot of fun doing it. Although we had no judges, I believe the debate would have been a draw. March 3, I 937 Today we went up to Nanty-Glo High School to compete in a debate with them. Never having debated in their school before, I was slightly nervous. I do believe Ibbie ' did even better than she did in our assembly program. Our opponents gave no references to some of their quotations, yet their mistakes were matched by ours. Ibbie lost points on naturalness and ease on the platform, while I lost them on not refuting the most important points in the rebuttal. The judges called the contest a draw and everyone was satisfied. March 22, 1 937 To-day our negative team debated with Nanty-Glo's affirmative here at Westmont- Upper Yoder. Although our team won, I felt we were very weak and did not utilize all the potential power we possessed. The judges gave us a two to one decision over Nanty- Glo, which greatly aided the morale of the negative team. April 3, 1937 We won: We defeated Ebensburg-Cambria debators in the Forensic competition to-day at Ebensburg. It is the first time for a long time that Ebensburg has been de- feated in the county contests. The judges from St. Francis College voted our school the winner. ' DEBATE CLUB l Seated: Reed Smith.

Y. 23 Gallitzin 24 St. Francis OUR BASKETEERS March 23, 1937 Dear Diary, This years' basketball season was rather unsuc- cessful in the way of victories, not due to the ina- bility of the team and most certainly not through lack of iight and spirit. Physical disabilities, in part, cost many victories and were probably respon- sible for the team not having a genuinely success- ful year. Our trouble started the ilrst of the year, when Al Jones, expected to be a very valuable asset to the team, became sick, and had no opportunity to play any time during the season. Tredennick, big man of our team, who had been very valuable in every way, followed in the latter part of the season with scarlet fever, leaving the team short-handed tor size. To top the climax, t'Chizzie Price was quarantined with mumps during the St. Francis Tournament. The high spots of the season were the two vic- tories, but many other games were thrilling, well- played exhibitions. ln the third game'Allegheny won by two points in the final seconds of a closely contested battle, through which VV. U. Y. led most of the time. Wlndber managed to win only after playing an extra period, in which a last-second 1oul enabled them to engage. Both games with Franklin were won by single twin-pointers made in last minute spurts. These were the outstanding close squeezes for W. U. Y. opponents during tno '37 season. The following are the fellows who fought through thick and thin with undaunted courage: Captain Julel' Little, whose steady playing at guard and whose capable leadership, kept the team in position to give opponents a real battle. ChiZzie Price gave few dazzling performances, but was consistentlin his playing and always good tor his share of points, as the other guard. Bill Price, who, although the smallest mem- ber of the team, was the scrappiest forward seen on Westmont's floor all year. Harry Tredennick, the bulwark of the team, ac- counted for many baskets on follow-up shots, blocked many opponents' shots and played every lrhninute of every game until scarlet fever overtook lm. Jim Caddy, the high scoring forward, account- ed for many twin pointers, and thrilled many with his high impossible shots. John Budash, the substitute center, jumped right in to take over Harry's place, and did a fine Job of it. Kilim Haley, went in lighting to relieve tired guardsg Chuts Moran was a flashy, speedy for- ward substituteg Yale Wainger, a steadfast, heady substitute guard, 'tLefty Hipp, a smooth-playing forward substitute, and R. Mishler, E Salem, and G. Dutko, also notable supporters of the squad. .'v- Harry Tredennick Julius Little John Budash William Price Charles Price James Caddy 'EEE df' ' :i,4,s, .-s ' 'll TO CDUR I-IONGR May, 28, 1937 Dear Diary, Here I am once more poring over my books under a couple hundred watt globe. Why? Well, you see, I am trying to keep in the upper iifteen per cent of my class scholastically, so that upon graduating I may be eligible to wear the golden torch of the National Honor Society. After all, what more prized award could I receive for four years of hard work than membership in this national society. I realize, in addition, that in order to be a member of this organi- zation, I must be cheerful and enthusiastic in all my services to the school, that I must possess a good, clean, honest character, and that I must exercise the qualities of leadership. I sincerely hope that I have lived up to the requirements. What a goal-National Honor! June 1, 1937 I am on pins and needles this evening because to-morrow will be the Award Assembly. I am so anxious to see Whether I shall get a Student Activiity key. Having paid my quarter each year, I am a full- iiedged member of the organization. COf course I've been repayed by reductions in games and playsb. What I am Worrying about is whether I have served faithfully enough in my extra-curricular activities to get such an award. After all, one must serve diligently for at least two years. These Activity Awards are appreciated especially by us students who have interests in activities other than athletics, for thus we gain special recognition for our efforts. Well, here's hoping. April 1 , 1 937 Westmont-Upper Yoder High School was ably represented in the Forensic League contest this year by our music department and debat- ing club. Virginia Wright competed for placement in the piano and alto solos, Doris Fox, in a trombone, and Alan Alter, in a cornet solo. The larger groups contesting for honors were the Band and Orchestra, and the Brass Sextet composed of Elizabeth Anderson, Robert Barn- hart, Phyllis Barnhart, Helen Lane, Lois Ringler, and Reed Smith. Those of the debate team who represented the school in the Fo- rensic League were: affirmative team, Elizabeth Thomas, Robert Hoerle, Reed Smith, alternate, negative team, Sara Brickner, Gustave Margolis, and Rita Finkelstein, alternate. The subject for the debate was Resolved: That, all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. Tl-IE Pl-IOENICIAN PHOENICIAN EXECUTIVES Seated: Helen Kerr, Business Manager.

Today the presses will begin clicking off neat pages of words and pictures. I can almost smell the printer's ink as it leaves its stain on the White enameled sheets. Editing the Phoenician has been an interesting task and I am very grateful to my staff of Willing and efficient workers who know how to do everything from writing articles to staging a carnival. They have been versatile, vivacious, and vivid in their Phoenician work. Invaluable has been the constant encourage- ment and faithful guidance of our patient adviser, Miss Esenwein. We shall always remember the exciting moments while having our pictures taken, the enthusiasm with which our assembly program and subscription cam- paign Were received, the hours of pains-taking correction of articles, and the 'tbig night of the year-our senior carnival. We now rejoice in the knowledge that the completed Phoenician represents the school year of 1936-37 in Westmont-Upper Yoder High School as it is seen by those who participate in it.

It is such a hard job to get back to study- E ing again after such an exciting vacation--but then being a y- 1,-- senior has its thrills. From the number of freshmen whom I have seen with awed expressions on their faces, I guess the .1 Sggggyggg -'!i+. 2Ali-G' 'fgreenies are having a great many new experiences. Of I ll l ' xi, 1 all ZVQ ' 4 DI,1,,,, course the juniors are feeling for the first time the high and A , mighty place of upper classmen, while sophomores are al- 'fly I f, . I' gl!! 'Q ready brooding over the thought of being graduated. Yes, I the first day of school holds its pleasures and qualms for all -' - of us. September 18, 1936. Getting clubs organized is the point of concentration now. The activities of the Girls, League and Boys' Club were officially launched to-day with the recognition of new members. To start off its year in a more friendly and less formal manner, the Girls' League had a party for the freshman girls. September 19, 1936. Yea Westmont! Yea Team! Yea! Yea !-oh don't mind me, l'm just getting over the first football game to-day with Meyersdale, right here on our own field. There is noth- ing like a good old football season to pep one up. Here's hoping we have success through- out the football season! Talking the powers above into permitting us to put out a year book was our first worry, and now we have to set up an itemized budget of every cent we expect to take in this year. It's a good thing, but who invented financial worries in the first place? We seniors are getting our first taste of what it is like to start putting out a yearbook. October 5, 1936. Believe it or not, we have been going to school for a whole month, with only eight more to go. Even so soon, I feel piles of home-work sneaking up on me. Q October 16, 1936. In assembly to-day, Cletus Petchar had us in stitches as the busy boss in the com- mercial play. Mary Zubal was the chewing-gum secretary who got fired because she stopped right in the middle of her work to powder her nose. Being a senior, I was coldly excluded from the big freshman party given this even- ing. Nevertheless I peeped into the gym and saw their keen decorations. l'll wager they will have a good time at this, their first, real high school party. October 21, 1936. Whoopee, the first vacation, Institute, the friend of students and f?J of teachers. October 23, 1936. We played DuBois this evening at DuBois fone of the best X, games of the yeari and, as luck would have it, it had to rain 5 and get foggy to-day so that scarcely anyone could go to root. , Well, the boys went and I know they will do their part even 2 I I if many of us could not get there. 'Y ,M Q ,jiiik October 30, 1936. ,' Irvs! The Hi-Y gave a program on safety in assembly this af- ,' 'f x If mal, ternoon. After school, the stopping at stop signs and ob- ? fa .. serving of speed limits were very obvious. And oh, the Jungle-Hop this evening! I must admit that the QA juniors put on a really deluxe dance. There were evidences ofthe ii-'SS X Suppes art all over the walls in the form of the most ludicrous Y ' 0' 0 jungle creatures you ever want to see. In the center of the gym , 7 there was a clump of palm trees and only the tropical breeze was 5 fl . lacking. S Y i i Q November 6, 1 936. The sophomores' big time is to-night because it is the night of their gala party. This time the doors of the gym were locked so that I didnlt even get a peep, but from all the talked-of preparations, super happenings will be going on to-night. November 14, 1936. On this brisk and chilly evening our boys played a night game of football at Ebens- burg. Despite the excitement of the game and a couple of warm coats, it still seemed pretty cold, but Ebensburg students, good hosts as they are, saw to it that we enjoyed our- selves. Almost everyone went to the Ebensburg Dairy-Dell after the game. The poor manager almost had to stuff his ears with cotton because of the din of singing and hilarity. November 20, 1 936. Six weeks of intense pleasure and work on the part of the seniors was concluded with brilliant success to-night in the performance of the play, The Road to Yesterday. The new Kleigh light helped wonderfully in the production. Nothing obviously went wrong, and after the play the cast enjoyed talking over its expriences at a party at Bob Hoerle's house. November 25, 1 936. We have arrived at our second vacation period, Thanksgiving, and the prospect oi turkey, cranberries, and pumpkin pie looks very bright. To start the holiday right, the seniors sponsored the Turkey Dance. November 30, 1936. Back to school again! Once more, as for the past month, the photographers were at work taking Phoenician pictures. Those birdie men have the slickest way of catch- ing us students in impromptu positions. December 4, 1936. To-day heralded the event of the annual Football Banquet in the recreation room of the Westmont Presbyterian Church. The guest speaker was Fats Henry, the head coach at W. 8: J. Our own Mr. Robinson, Coach,', and Mr. Shappell, each added his word of wisdom. Certificates were presented to the boys before a large number of guests. December ll, 1936. I A The American Tourist invaded our assembly to-day in the form ' f M of a play presented by the Senior Dramatics Club. One of the high tf T spots was Concetta Maiorana's rattling-off Italian at a mile-a-minute ' pace. This eveningis Band Concert was also tops The Kindergar- ' l- ten, Junior, and Senior Bands proved their skill in an artistically ar- my ranged program. 7 V 'E December 23, 1936. ' An impressive assembly program of singing Christmas songs, led by Mr. Ackley and the Girls' Chorus, got us in the V proper frame of mind for a busy Christmas vacation. This X if t was the first official appearance of the Chorus in uniform be- fore the student body. This evening the seniors gave their second dance, which was very much in keeping with the holi- day spirit. 'I 'Pr . fl, sqft rsf vfit . E 41 X December 29, 1936. Basketball season certainly bounces around quickly. Our season started to-night with the Alumni game. January 8, 1937. We were off to Altoona to-night for the first real game of the season. If the boys play as well against Johnstown on our gym floor on the twelfth, we ought to show Johns- town where she stands. January 22, 1937. The Phoenician staff launched its subscription campaign in the afternoon assembly. Each department head told us what to expect from his section of the book, Freeman Ful- lerton, kind of stooge, lending the light touch to the program. The enthusiastic response indicated that almost everyone is going to have a Phoenician by the end of the year. February 12, 1937. This morning the Girls' Chorus gave a matinee of its concert to be given on Sunday, Valentine's Day. Special colors flashed on the group by the big spot light magnified the emotion of each selection. February 13, 1937. Hearts and flowers reigned at the Va1entine's dance to-night. February 14, 1937. The concert was such a success. It is reported that when the girls sang Were You There? one could hear a pin drop in the audience. The three little pickaninnies proved to be quite a hit, as well as the chorus and the' faculty quartette's, The Auction- eer. Members of the audience howled when Mr. Robinson swaggered up the aisle to buy the demure and coy Miss Kantner. February 19, 1937. A happy evening with a game and a Gym Jam was sadly disrupted by the news of the tragic death of our popular young school mate, Betty Myers. February 26, 1937. In the debate club assembly Bob Hoerle and Gus Margolis gave an exhibition of rather dramatic debating. Ibbie Thomas surprised all by speaking calmly and slowly. March 5, 1937. This Friday's assembly was in charge of the Student Council. It was a serious type of program which I believe was truly appreciated, Cthough not admittedj by the student body. tg? X Roses were voted to the Girls' Chorus by all who attended the' very A QT so peppy and attractively decorated party this evening. The party was R I Efflg j novel in that the girls escorted the boys and even had to fill out the pro- . G I grams, which, I admit, were hard to keep straight. Cletus Petchar 'riff .QQ kept everyone hilarious all evening by dropping such remarks here and there as: Oh, 'Davy,' you have a runner in your stocking, or Sssst, Harley, your slip shows. March 12, 1937. We had the pleasure of hearing a preview of the Forensic League music entrees this afternoon. With all that line ma- c terial we ought to go far in the competition. I was one of the hundreds that attended the senior class 71 I carnival to-night and did I have fun! Besides being almost xx Z electrocuted in the House of Terror, I was nearly drowned in fp' ' the Fun House. I played two whole games of Bingo in the K hope I would win the luscious box of chocolate covered cher- ries I had my eye on, but I didn't. However, I did ring a cane at the first shot. And the gym-jam-well, I never saw that noble hall so full of people. The floor show knocked 'em cold , especially when Lois Moore crooned I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm . I can't say much about the play, The Diamond Necklaceu, for I was in it myself. What a night! fe- f 0 5 March 19, 1937. The Junior Dramatics Club blossomed forth with a group of very promising actors and actresses in the play, The Neighbors , staged in to-day's assembly. March 23, 1937. The members of the faculty had us almost rolling in the aisles this evening as they proved once more what good sports they are. The occasion was the Faculty-Varsity bas- ketball game. The girls played The Chicago Bloomer Girls , who turned out to be mainly male faculty members. It was quite a melodrammer . March 25, 1 937. The Yodler has been stepping right along this year. Imagine putting out all com- mercial copies! I thought today's issue was particularly fine. March 26, 1937. The juniors scored again with the Spring Swing . To celebrate Easter they had a bunny walk instead ofa cake walk. March 30, 1937. The Girls' Chorus entertained the P. A. A. group to-night with a group of numbers. The newly organized Boys' Chorus, in its initial appearance, sang a clever song arranged by Mr. Ackley and directed by Billy Price. April 2, 1937. Assembly turned out to be an all day affair for most of us, because our speaker, Mr. Ramsey, proved to be so interesting that we besieged him all day long in Miss Reiser's room. Then, to finish an unusual school day, I went to the Girls' League Tea Dance. Besides all this, the G. R. Hi-Y Party was held to-night with the girls as hostesses. It was a very informal April Fool's Day Party and the decorations were a surprise, for they covered only one side of the room. And eats , honestly, you never saw so many and such good ones! That party is going to be a hard one for the Hi-Y to beat next year. April 9, 1937. What a clever dance the sophomores gave tonight! It was appro- priately named the April Showers Dance . Goodness, but they will be a smart class when they become seniors. J April 16, 1937. ' Senior Dramatics Club once more presented a very interesting pro- gram, having as its speaker in assembly Dr. Dorain Tharpe of Junior 5 Pitt and as guest artists, the Junior College Glee Club. Look out, Mixed Chorus! ky ltfiiz April 23, 1 937. Dr. Nicely spoke to us in Girl Reserves' assembly to-day, and at the same time the small group of the Girls' Chorus sort of warmed up for the trip to Cresson to-night when they will entertain the patients at the sanatorium. The girls are glad to gog it is fun to do something nice for some one. May 7, 1937. Elmer , a play presented by a dramatics club from Southmont, amused us in assem- bly to-day. The juniors, however, were visibly squirmy, probably because they were thinking of their own play, The Twelfth Night , to be given this evening. They didn't really need to be nervous about it for it certainly did go off like clock-work. A Shakes- pearean play is difficult to present and the class is to be congratulated on such a finished performance. May 14, 1937. The second Chorus concert is over. This time the Boys' Chorus was included. Oh, dear, the way the combined choruses sang Asleep in the Deep . The boys sang the mel- ody and went down to the very low notes, while the girls sang the harmony. Yes, music hath its charms. - May 21, 1937. This afternoon the Girls' League followed a precedent of long standing by giving a tea for their mothers. It was a lovely spring party, and the mothers seemed to enjoy themselves. The girls always enjoy entertaining their mothers. Whlat a splendid time we had at the prom! It seems fun to be on the receiving end of the biggest party of the year. It was a perfect send-off that the juniors gave us. May 30, 1937. I believe we seniors experienced one of our most solemn and somewhat sorrowful oc- casions to-night at the Baccalaureate service in the Westmont Presbyterian Church. We were deeply impressed as we walked down its aisles in our caps and gowns. An address by Reverend Stanton challenged us to a wider experience in living. June 4, 1937. Commencement! The end of our public school education. The seniors marched to the platform for their diplomas, feeling very proud but a little sad. It must quietly be said that there were a few tears shed, for although we griped about having so much work to do, the outlook is quite different when one is leaving good old Westmont-Upper Yo- der. And so thus ends an eventful four years and a thrilling senior year. if .

Shall meet a:'a.n, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Verse of poem read at the funeral services of Belly Myers. With Deepest Regret The tragic death of Beatrice Myers in an automobile accident has shocked her fellow students in Westmont-Upper Yoder High School. Betty was one of those peppy persons whom it is always fun to have around-an attractive looking girl, possessed with a spark- ling personality. Betty attracted many friends to herself and was one of the most popu- lar girls in the school. We school-mates greatly miss Betty in our classrooms and in all our social affairs, and those of us who knew her best will always feel an irreparable loss in her death. Dr. M. S. Bentz, the County Superintendent of Schools, was beloved by all who knew him for his human qualities-was a member ofthe old school in that he exhibited many of the fine virtues that have become less evident to-day in most people-was enthusiastic in all of his undertakings, and an untiring worker. Dr. Bentz was generally known as the friend of the studentsf, Mr. G. A. Jahn, secretary ofthe Westmont Borough School Board and the Westmont- Upper Yoder .School Board, was truly sincere in having the best interests of our school in mind at all times-was very progressive and keenly far-seeing-planned diligently for the growth of the school.
