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.

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 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
