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.

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.

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.
