This yearbook is entitled the Phoenician, a name which suggests a pioneering people. The name was chosen by our school in its early and formative years, when it too was in a pioneering stage. Following the selection of an editor-in-chief, an editorial board and business managers, planning for the 1947 Phoenician began. This planning was considerably deflated when the sky-rocketing price of paper, printing, and engraving caused the Castle in Spain to vanish in thin air. However, after a number of meetings were held, a definite program of operation was agreed upon. In- creased cost necessitated the raising of more money by the Phoeni- cian Staff. The necessary extra funds were obtained by operating a refreshment stand at the football games on Price Field, and by providing a similar service as Well as operating a checking room at the home basketball games. Other difficulties were overcome as they presented themselves until at last the major goal was reached. The 1947 Phoenician was completed. This, the Staff presents to you with the hope that you will enjoy it now and in the years to come. EDITORIAL BOARD-Top to Bottom, Left-Martha Yost, Dorothy Zimmerman, Bill Glosser, loel Kranich.

BOARD OF EDUCATION There is an important group of individ- uals connected with our high school who might be termed the forgotten men. They are never in direct contact with the entire student body as a group cmd the occasions are few when even a few students are in their presence. This group functions almost wholly in the background, yet their Work is so important that the responsibility for the very existence of our school is theirs alone. This group is the Vtfestmont-Upper Yoder High School Board. As individuals and as a group they spend many hours, often late at night, dealing with the problems of our school so that it may not only function but constantly be improved in its function- ing. The members of the Board serve only from a sense of civic duty and their only compensation is the satisfac- tion that can be derived from work well done. We, as stu- dents, should be deeply ap- preciative of the unselfish service that they render in our behalf. The Westmont-Upper Yod- er High School Board is dif- ferent from most school boards in that it is com- posed of two separate boards of five members each. The Westmont School Board and the Upper Yoder Township School Board unite and function as a unit for the direction of our high school. 'l'his Ioint Board meets on the first Mon- day of each month to transact the necessary business for the operation of our school. Be- sides these regular meetings, special meet- ings are sometimes called when quick ac- tion is needed on urgent affairs. The Ioint Board is at present composed of the following members: Dr. Donald Matthews, president, Edward Dittmar, Iohn Henderson, P. I. Grogan, and H. E. Town- send, from Westmont Borough and Earl Neeb, vice president, Earl Miller, Luther Lehman, Iohn Slagle, and F. M. Williamson, from Up- per Yoder Township. Mr. Frank T. Iames serves as secretary of the Ioint Board. He is also superintendent of buildings and grounds. Let us, as a school, ex- tend our thanks to this group of forgotten men who give so much time and effort to our personal wel- fare.

STUDENT COUNCIL This year our school's House of Repre- sentative proved itself the active, creative, and discriminating organization which the Student Council should be. President Dick Hornick with his resourceful leadership was certainly a large factor in the successful functioning of the Council. Secretary Carol Wineman did an excellent job of keeping impartial assigning of gym dances to the clubs which desired them. Members of the Council were at all times to set an example for the rest of the student body to follow in such matters as greater courtesy to mem- bers of the faculty, better behavior in as- sembly, and less noise in the halls during noon hour and between classes. The Coun- the clear and accurate read to each home room by its Council representative. Iohnny Hipp. vice president, was always on hand to take over whenever the president was absent from the meeting. Every member of the Council greatly appre- ciated the guidance of the group's adviser, Miss Margaret Greer, who frequently pre- vented hasty and un- wise steps from being taken. To start off the year's work right, the Council set up an efficient sche- dule for the morning home room period meetings, a schedule which kept most organ- izations' meetings from conflicting with those of other groups. Another difficult job was the minutes which were lCERS-Left to Right-lfxhn llip, N' S t p V cw: Carol X mcman. .ccrr arv: Richard lfornitls, President. Eleven cil suggested that we should display in everyday routine some of the fine school spirit shown at our football and basketball contests. The organiza- tion also secured many material benefits for the student body. It saw to it that buses were provided to take both the students and the band to most of the football games played away. Later in the year, the Council helped to se- cure the modern pic- tures which were shown once a month in assembly. The Council did not forget the so- cial affairs of W.-U. Y. To sum it all up, the Student Council did a fine job of serving the school and students well.

Euilcuia Rohm O The Se ' cniors started into their last year of high school by electing right- eous Regis Stinely as their president, Bill Grove, vice president, Paul McGill, treasurer, and Eugenia Robinson, secretary. Shortly afterwards they selected Betty Churchey, Ioel Kranich, and Carol Wineman as their representatives to Student Council. Names of Seniors were not missing anywhere this year. The football squad had nine senior lettermen, basketball four, baseball two, and track one. On the Honor Roll many seniors' names also appeared. Those seen most often were: David Cohoe, Dave Coulson, Paul McGill, La Rue Hillegass, Regis Stinely, Mar- tha Yost, and Dick Hornick. They were an outstanding class both scholastically and athletically. They had their ups and down the same as the rest, but they still came through with flying colors. Under the able direction of Miss Allendorfer, they presented on December 6 the annual senior play, a three act comedy by Moss Hart, George Wash- ington Slept Here, which starred lean Rogers and George Thackray. Only a few weeks after the play the Christma: dance, Paradise In Pines, was held in the gym and was enjoyed by a record crowd. Many school organizations were led through a successful year by senior presidents. The Hi-Y elected Dick Hornickg the Girl Reserves, Iean Rogers, the W Club, Dave Coulson, the Photography Club, Divy Cohoeg the Gym Club, Thelma Glatz, and the Phoenician, Lennie Cromer. They were well represented on the cheering squad by ambitious and pep- py lean Rogers, Thelma Glatz, Ramona Kauffman. and Patty Lou Wright. A majority of them attended a vocabulary class in preparation tor college entrance exams and scholarship tests. The class was taught by Miss Margaret Greer. Both boys and girls participated in a well rounded schedule of intramurals. They fought to defend their class in badminton, deck tennis, volleyball, basket- ball, baseball, and archery. The Seniors were proud to have an athlete such as Dave Coulson in their class. Dave obtained a large number of awards in his last year of high school. The faculty advisers who helped them through a successful year were Miss Roberta Williams, Miss Iosephine Williams, Miss Margaret Greer, Mr. Carl Engh, and Mr. Leonard Spence. All the Seniors did not bid farewell to W. U. Y. after co many knew that they would come back to t mmencement bec alk over old ti Fifteen ause mes with friends. .

The junior choice for their presiding officers at class meetings was none other than that sparkling personality, Bob Squire, and happy-go-lucky lack Buser. The job of recording happenings at class meetings was quickly handed to Bob Lantos and the spending and collecting of the money was left to Bill Hunt. After these elections they speedily chose Iohnny Hipp, Pippi Puma, and jack Buser as their Student Council representatives. A large number of Iuniors joined or were accepted in various extracurricu- lar activities of the school. Those taken into the Hi-Y were Bill Mapoles and Ioe Kohler, and Bobby Hocker and Ann Claflin were accepted in the Photography Club. Many of the junior girls also joined the Girl Reserves. On November l, they held the regular Halloween Dance in the gym while Bill Varner and his band supplied the music. The dance had the pleasing name of Frosty Fling. There were quite a few of the boys on the football team with Iohnny Hipp as the outstanding one. Hipp, Letezia, Sherer, and Park were on the basketball team and Hipp, Campbell, Park, Dorian, and Piazza on the baseball team. They always had at least a few names on the Honor Roll. Those appearing most often were Sylvan Holtzman, Earle McKeever, Pat Wood, and Rosalyn Romanoff. They Were well represented on the cheering squad by those two energetic girls, Sallie Anderson and Rosalyn Romanoff. Shortly after electing their class officers, they chose that boy with the light bulb brain, Earle McKeever, as editor-in-chief of the school paper, The Yodler. The Iuniors showed exceptional interest in the mid-day intramurals. Many bat- tles were close but the juniors held their own. In badminton it Was Pat Wood, a junior, who took the title of champion. The class party was held on November 8 in the gym with a great turnout and everyone had a wonderful time. The entertainment provided was movies, ping- pong and dancing. Refreshments were served following the social events.

The smallest class during the 1946-47 term was the sophomore class, but what they lacked in number they made up in school spirit. Anxious to surge ahead in school activities, they elected sporty Spurgy Iohns as their president, serious Ken Heffley as vice-president, smiling Pat Hoffman as secretary, and wily Willie Hlivko as treasurer. Being the minority group in the school, they needed alert representa- tives in Student Council. Therefore they elected Harry Drew, Ianet Kels, and Au- drey Thomas. During the fall Hi-Y initiation Spurgy Iohns was selected from the list of sophomore boys, while the W Club took in Dave McCormick, Harold Slagle and Simeon Margolis. The Photo Club picked Stuart Kline from the group of prospects. ln the athletic circles of the school, members of the class showed up well. On the varsity football squad were Stuart Kline, Dave McCormick, and Harold Slagle. Many other sophomore boys gave their services to the Iunior Varsity team. The basketball team was boosted by the playing of Simeon Margolis and Stuart Kline. On the baseball team it was the faithful service of Simeon Margolis, who was one of our best pitchers, that helped us have a successful season. The girls are also not to be forgotten in the sports events of the school. Wheth- er it was in basketball or deck tennis, the sophomore team always showed plenty of team work and sportsmanship. Bright and cheerful Nancy Reese made the cheerleaders even more peppy with her never ending energy. Besides being Well represented in athletics the Sophs placed a large number of names on the Honor Roll. The ones printed most included Miriam Anderson, Anne Bell, Louise Bregman, Ianet Kels, Simeon Margolis, Val Picking, Marvin Sav- ering, Alice Stinely, Audrey Thomas, and Anne Weals. The class was also very musically minded, having a large number of voices in the chorus and instruments in the band. Socially the class was right on top. Practically all of the class went to their successful party in November and many of the couples at the dances were Sophomores.

These were the Freshmen. After the usual hectic days of getting accustomed to high school life they elected their first class officers. For president jovial Bill Blimmel ranked first, popular Ann Lyons was chosen vice- presidentp the secretary's duties fell to capable Barbara Frank, and athletic Dick Hofman was picked as treasurer. As their representatives in Student Council they chose Sam DeFrancesco, Ed Miller, and Barbara Yost. At this time various organizations were initiating future members. Both the Hi-Y and W Club picked Dick Hoffman while the Photo Club accepted Barbara Yost. The football team enlisted the aid of two ardent followers as managers. These jobs fell to Ierry Hornick and Brock Anderson. Many freshman boys played on the Iunior Varsity team. Among these were Ed Miller, Bill Blimmel, Tom Cush, Iim Kahl, lim Berkebile, Howard Schwartz and Bill Stinson. Dick Hoffman was a member of the varsity squad and earned his letter as a sub on the second team. On the basketball court the Freshmen aga'n looked as though they would re- peat as the Iunior High League Champs. Prominent members of the team were Ed Miller, Dick Hoffman, Tom Cush, lim Berkebile, and Dick Iones. The girls are also becoming very fine athletes. Outstanding are Sue Orr, Mari- lyn Lehman, Barbara Yost, and Barbara Frank, who entered the badminton tourna- ment in quest of the title. The girls also had a promising basketball team in the class intramurals. One fourth of the singing voices in the Christmas Chorus and Spring Concert were those of Freshmen. These fine voices should blend even more beautifully in the coming years. Scholastically the Freshmen consistently placed a large group of names on the Honor Roll. Those most frequently found there were Iudy Callet, Pat Hammer, Ann Fair, Gerald Hornick, Phyllis Metzler, Bob Steinbring and Barbara Yost. Thirty Three English l Class ENGLISH It is said that a strong foundation of English is priceless to any student, and this being so, it is required of every student of Westmont-Upper Yoder School for four years. The study of English was stressed in the freshman year when both Miss Hershberger and Miss Gerhardt introduced to the eager students extemporaneous speeches, grammar, themes, Shakespeare's As- You Like It, the ever popular Ivanhoe, and the classic, David Copperfield. Miss Allen- dorfer taught the sophomores with Iulius Caesar, short stories, Silas Marner, and various types of American Literature. The junior classes, under the teaching of both Miss Allendorfer and Mrs. Kring, took a survey course in English literature and read Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, and Shakespeare's comedy, The Merchant of Venice. The senior class, at first lost without Miss Esenwein who had taught them for the three preceding years, soon became admirers of Mrs. Kring who taught them Hamlet, Macbeth, and a complete study of mod- ern literature. SCIENCE Without the study of science human advancement is impeded. No one mind can master all of the sciences, therefore they must be broken up into many parts. Our school acts in accord- ance with this fact by providing some of the major divisions of science. First, it is presented in the form of General Science, a course required for freshman commercial students who, under the guidance of Mr. Spence, find out the answers to bewildering questions revolving around the principles of practical science. The teaching of plant and animal life under the heading of Biology is taught by Mr. Spence to the Sophomore Academic classes. Opposites attract, Mr. Ott's favorite expression, is pressed into the minds of doubting juniors as they study Chemistry. In Chemistry II, students further their knowledge by striving to analyze their unknowns Per- plexing everyday problems are solved in Physics class by the Seniors under the supervision of Mr. Ott. These subjects are by no means easy, but with diligent work a student can graduate with a firm background of scientific knowledge. Physics Class Thirty Four Shorthand Class BUSINESS For the student who is planning to obtain Work following his or her completion of second- ary studies, our school offers the best in the fundamentals of commercial preparation. A commer- cial student is fortunate to be able to learn many rudiments of business methods in this high school course. Mrs. Davis is in charge of the shorthand classes. ln addition to shorthand. Mrs. Davis handles two typing classes Which, like the previous subject, are carried on in the last two years of high school. Also instructing typing classes is Mr. Mcllnay, who, besides teaching typing, sales, and geography, shares with Mr. Engh the instruction of bookkeeping. No commercial course would be complete without banking and law. This is taught by Mr. Engh. The students of this course enjoy a day in the county seat, a trip arranged to give them a better understanding of court procedure. Any student pursuing the commercial course in high school graduates well pre- pared to take his place in the business world. SOCIAL STUDIES Since man and his environment are the prime interests of humans, the social subjects de- velop the pupil's character to a great extent. Civics, the foundation for high school social studies, teaches good citizenship, and the freshmen, under Mr. Askey, learn the fundamentals of our gov- ernment. World History, taught by Mrs. Wineman and Mr. Cromer, helps the student to profit from the triumphs and failures of past figures in history. American history develops the student's appreciation of the customs, ideals, and institutions of this land of opportunity. Everyone is re- quired to study American History before he may be graduated from high school. This survey begins with the early explorers and ends with the intricate forms of government of the present day. Each Week Miss Gerhardt supervises the reading and discussion of a current events newspaper which brings the student up-to-date with American and foreign policies. The Problems of Democ- racy class is the smallest, but nevertheless it does not lack enthusiasm. The class, with Miss Ger- hardt, undertakes trips to various establishments throughout Iohnstown. Pennsylvania History Class Thirty Five Art Class ART Since it is agreed that one's artistic ability should be developed as well as his intellectual ability, students who are fortunate enough to be endowed with an appreciation of art enthusias- tically choose art as a part of their Curriculums. Mrs. Wineman, their capable and sympathetic teacher, guides them through work and helps them to choose that specific field in which each excels. Oil paintings including landscapes and portraits, still-life sketches, and architectural draw- ings occupy the interest of the advanced students. This year, crafts was the most popular study for the under-classmen and beautiful lamps, carvings, and other objects were produced. The art class proved to be priceless to the senior play cast. The class and Mrs. Wineman Worked end- lessly to provide the ingenious scenery, back drops, and other equipment which really made the play. As Keats has said A thing of beauty is a joy forever. This the art classes have really proved. LANGUAGE The study of any foreign language is valuable to the student not only to promote toler- ance and World-relationship, but to increase his knowledge of English. Spanish, French, German, and Latin are taught in our school. Freshmen usually begin their foreign language study with Latin. Most academic students study Latin for two years under Miss Roberta Williams. A few of the best go on with advanced Latin. Students who are particularly interested in science usually choose German. Miss Margaret Greer stresses the mastering of the fundamental principles of the language. The French classes are conducted entirely in French and emphasis is placed on speak- ing the language. Miss Mary Louise Hershberger instructs her students in the customs, geography, and institutions of France. World-wide interest in Spanish is steadily increasing. This accounts for the increasing number of Spanish students. The students, under the direction of Miss Hershberg- er, live, act, and speak as typical Spaniards during their class periods. French ll Class Thirty Six Boys' Cooking Class HOME ECONOMICS The hand as well as the mind should be developed. The Home Economics Department be- lieves this statement and strives to develop the home-making instinct in the student. This year. contrary to tradition, a class of boys under the instruction of Miss Marjorie Deller learned the rudiments of cooking and sewing. These boys Were extremely enthusiastic about their Work and they hope to become more proficient. The girls divide their first year of Home Economics be- tween cooking and sewing. They bake cakes and cookies, and learn how to prepare various vegetables. They also learn to sew a fine seam, so if you have wondered Why the freshman girls are so well dressed, now you know the reason. The advanced classes began this year with a spe- cialized study to textiles, and obtained a consumer's education where they learned how to recognize quality. They continued with advanced sewing, good grooming, and interior decorating. Everyone who has taken home economics has profited by experience which he or she will never forget. MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the science of number and quantity. This science is divided into four parts at W. U. Y.: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Math has been, ever since the Greeks first lifted it into the field of abstract thinking, a test and training in clear, logical, accurate thinking. There is quite a glorious feeling of satisfaction that comes with the correct finishing of a problem. Our foundation in algebra is laid by the teaching of Miss Iosephine Williams who introduces this subject to the freshmen. This course is furthered in Algebra II class under the supervision of Mrs. Regittko. In the junior year, plane geometry predominates, under the tutelage of Miss Williams. The senior year is divided into three specific courses of studyg solid geometry, brief college algebra, and trigonometry. These courses are an introduction to higher mathematics and are taught under Mrs. Regittko. Commercial arithmetic is stressed by Mrs. Re- gittko to advance the study of common math applied to the business field. With such a back- ground, it is no wonder that W. U. Y. ranks as very outstanding in the study of mathematics. Plane Geometry Class Thirty Seven Activities adm cafzfziculafz. acffluiliei ham w-fzicfn we cfefulae da mucfa enjaymenf.

An assembly was put on which was well received by the whole school. A new feature, Teen Talk, introduced the viewpoints of students on different subjects. Its chief purpose was to emphasize religious education on a nonvsectarian basis. With the admission of twenty new mem- bers in the Spring initiation, the membership was boosted to the full quota of 40. As an organization affiliated with the Y. M. C. A., the Hi-Y aimed, as in previous years, to promote the citizenship and friend- 1 ly relations of members of the club. Forty FIRST ROW-Left to Right-Peggy Maitland, lean Rogers.

The appearance of the band was much enhanced by the addition of Ioyce Berkebile, lean Law and Pat Wood as snappy drum majorettes, and Luther Hoffman as drum major. At the beginning of the term, try-outs were held for the first chair of each section. The students who received the positions were given the rank of sergeant, while others were given corporal or private ratings. Paul McGill Was chosen as student manager, Bob Homonay as student director, and David Cohoe as drill sergeant. Bill Grove, Ioyce Berkebile, Bob Law, and Charles Staley assumed olher student offices. This year W. U. Y. Was host to the All-County Band which presented its final concert here on March 8th. Our own band was divided into committees, which aid- ed in making arrangements for the accommodations and entertainment of the visiting students. W. U. Y. was represented in the All-County Band by Divy Cohoe, Albert Gould, Bill Grove, Paul McGill, Regis Stinely, Mary Iane Frye, Bob Homonay, Ianet Kels, and Dave Wilson. The band made its final appearance at the Spring Concert on March Zlst. The program, which included novelty numbers, solos, and a trombone ensemble, was enthusiastically received.

O new G en - As usual the orchestra presented programs at the Senior play and at the Commencement exercises. Their enjoyable numbers helped to till in the intermission between acts of the play. In accordance with tradition, the organization presented an overture and the Alma Mater at the Commencement exercises. On February l5, W. U. Y. sent representatives to the All-County Orchestra at Portage. Rosalyn Roman- ott, Roland Ciccone, Barbara Benshotf, Marilyn Leh- man, Bonnie Blewitt, and Connie Bowman, the repre- sentatives, reported that the experience had been both educational and enjoyable. ln April, two members ot the orchestra were en- tered in the Forensic League contests. In the District contests, which were held in Southmont, Patty Lou Wright was entered in the flute solo entries, while Bob Homonay was entered in the trumpet section. The orchestra is now on its road to lame and with new talent arriving annually, we wish it much success in the future. x Forty Three ON FLOOR-Lcft to Right--Divy Cohoe, Bill Glosscr.

David Cohoe was elected president, Lennie Cromer, vice president, and Carol Wine- man, secretary-treasurer. As the new school year began, the job of picking new members Was undertaken. The members chosen were selected on the basis of their Will- ingness to work and their desire to learn. Shortly after, it Was decided that the club should hold after-school meet- ings With Mr. Cromer, principal of Tioga Street School, acting as adviser. Every Monday after school a large number of enthusi- asts remained for the hour-long sessions. Mr. Cromer, fol- lowing a schedule of topics set up by a club committee, lectured on various phases of photography. Catalogs were obtained from the optical department of Montgomery Ward Company to serve as temporary guides. The Wednesday meetings were largely devoted to in- dividual reports of experiences with more specific types of photography. Scenic, portrait, and table top pictures Were explained as Well as Work involving the use of floodlights and flash guns. Pictures were displayed, then analyzed for composition, subject material and exposure. As in former years, many of the pictorial needs of the Yodler and Phoenician were satisfied by these amateur photogs. Most of the members took an ardent interest in all the proceedings, and, under the guidance of its adviser, the Photography Club completed one of its most successful years.

SENIOR PLAY Q uLinAi'1S-'rf-Z-' ' if I On the night of December 6 the curtain came down with a roar of applause on the Senior class's splendid presenta- tion of the smashing Broadway hit by Moss Hart, George Washington Slept Here.' Under the competent direction of Miss Margaret Allendorfer and the diligent art supervision of Mrs. Ruth Wineman, this hilarious comedy kept every- one rolling in the aisles. The leading lady, lean Rogers, and the leading man, George Thackray, made a handsome two- some as the mundane but lovable owners of the man- sion Where the father of our country Was supposed to have slept. In the supporting cast, Ioel Kranich really Was a show stopper with his portrayal of a typical farmer lake. Regis Stinely With his foul-smelling, artificial White hair, and flabby pouch proved to be the spitting image of the old cantankerous Uncle Stanley. Carol Wineman, as the charming daughter, and Richard Hornick, as her boy friend, provided the entertaining adolescent love sub-plot. Credit belongs also to Lois Hartley as the insolent maid, Fritzie Newbaker as the sophisticated actress, and Nick Dunckel as the impertinent, devilish nephew. The properties committee under Ieanne Cush really did a good job in digging out old picture frames, rusty plows, curtains, furniture, and other strange articles. Fortunately the make-up cornittee had expert instruc- tion under Audrey Hagadus and its members Were quite adept at applying grease paint on the right spots. After the play a party Was sponsored by the cast and committees at Shangri-La Where the grand finale of the evening Was enjoyed by everyone.

CHORUS The mixed chorus can boast of having the largest number of participants in this depart- ment. Each Thursday morning during preparation period, some eighty-two girls and twenty- two boys have met under the patient and enthusiastic direction of Mr. Ackley to develop their vocal abilities. The first debut of the mixed chorus was during an assembly preceding Christmas when the students rendered familiar Christmas Carols and other selections reflective of the Yule- tide spirit. Later, in the spring, the chorus developed further prestige with their annual evening concert. The highlights of this entertainment Were The Indian Love Call, Calm QS the Left to Right-Mr. Ackley, director: Alice Stinely, accompanist. Night, and the male rendition of The Bass Viol. Smaller in quantity, but definitely as pleasing in quality Was the Girls' Chorus.

La Rue Hillegass, Audrey Brehm, and Carol Wineman attended the District Chor- us Meeting in Kittanning for three days in Ianuary. The cultural fervor of W. U. Y.'s students seems to be steadily increasing along mus- ical paths. In their post-school lives this enthusiasm Will surely remain steadfast in the mind of each student.

YODLER 3'N Starting with its first issue in September, this year's Yodler showed promising signs of becoming one of the best and most Widely read school papers throughout the district. With the election of diligent Earle McKeever as editor-in-chief, Sallie Anderson as managing editor, Rosa- lyn Romanoff and Pippy Puma as assistant editors, and Raysa Bonow and Ann Claflin as news editors, the Yodler was saturated with many new original features, plus various other articles based on the happenings at Westmont-Upper Yoder High School. Never was a Yodler late! With its down-to-business staff always on the job, at least one publication was issued each month. One of the highlights of the paper was its elaborate six-page Christmas issue which in- creased the percentage of numbers of copies EDITORIAL BOARD-FIRST ROW-Left to Right-Pippi Puma, Sgldl In Cgpious issue mqny different Sallie Anderson, Earle lVlcKeex'er, Freddy Dunn.

The spring meeting of l946 saw the election of officers for the succeeding year. Dave Coulson was elected president, Iohn Hipp, vice president, Dick Hornick, secretary-treasurer, and Roland Ciccone, sergeant-at-arms. With this fine group of officers the Club started into action. Dave Coulson and Albert Henze were elected co-captains of the football team. The usual subject of gym dances came up and the W Club was granted several dances as their only source of in- come. After the gym dances were settled, the club started plans for the initiation of new mem- bers at the fall meeting.

SPANISH AND FRENCH CLUBS A new project under the sponsorship of the French class this year was their Circle Francais. This Club, organized under the direction of Mlle. Hershberger, has served to aid the stu dents in a specific study and understanding of the customs, literature, and speech of the French At the first meeting the following competent officers were elected: president, Mlle. Yost, vice president, Mlle. Bonowp secretary, Mlle. Brehm, and treasurer, Mlle. Robinson. At each meeting an interesting and unusual program was planned. Skits, monologues and plays were given entirely in French. The most popular pastime of the club was the singing of folk-songs and carols so dear to the French people. This year the Spanish students of our high school, desiring to further their knowl- edge of the customs and everyday life of our friendly neighbors to the South, organ- ized tho new and active Spanish Club. Los Amigos were led through an interesting and enjoyable year by president Ioel Kran- ich. George Thackray acted as vice-presi- dent and the positions of secretary and treasurer were filled by David Cohoe and Virginia Kels respectively. At all the meetings and social affairs of the organization, Spanish was spoken exclu- sively so as to bring about a greater famili- arity with the everyday language of the Spaniards. Soon the usage of Spanish phrases became common throughout the school. FRENCH CLUB-OFFICERS-Left to Right-Martha Yost. Ravsa Borrow. Eugenia Robinson. Audrey Brehm. Nl. L. Hcrshhcrgcr. aclxiscr.

FOOTBALL The Hilltoppers of Westmont High started the season with a bang on September 13, with a 26-U win over the Rams of Richland High. By scoring three touchdowns the Red and Grays had the game on ice at the half but continued their strong attack and added one more in the second half. The longest gain of the game Was a punt forma- tion pass play from Hubie Strange to Iohn Hipp, who twisted his way to the final counter of the day. The following Friday afternoon Westmont ran rough shod over a green Meyersdale squad. With long runs, Coulson, Hipp, Piazza, and Hoffman each scored twice amid scattered extra points to run up the lopsided 53-0 win. On the beautiful sunny Saturday of the following week, the Hill- toppers took their most prized possession of the year, a thrilling 28-19 win over Bedford High. This game was sparked by long gains and out- standing play. In the first quarter, after Hornick intercepted an enemy aerial and returned it to the Bison 20, Coulson flipped a fourth down pass to Iohnny Hipp who made the catch in the end zone. Coulson scored for Westmont in the second quarter and Budd Faust scored for Bedford. After a series of attacks and counter-attacks Westmont led l4-13 at half time. Westmont, trailing l9-14 at the end of the third quarter, fought back and scored the games winning touchdown on a spinner by Dave Coulson. After traveling 20 yards into the Bison secondary he threw a lateral to Iohn Hipp who scampered over the double stripe. Later in the same quarter Hipp broke the game up with a spectacular 71 yard jaunt to pay dirt. Coulson kicked the four extra points during the game. lContinued on Page 543 FIRST ROW-Lett to Right Ken Dorian, Bill Gregory, Albert Henze, Ed Sattel, Stuart Kline, Dave Coulson, Roland Cic- Lone, Frank Bonono, Richard Hornick, Hubert Strange, Iohn Hipp, Sheldon Hunter.

Fifty Two FRANK BONONO led the line throughout the entire season with his play at tackle. Frank was hard to block out of the play and always fought hard. to win. ROLAND CICCONE was an outstanding guard with unusual strength and hitting power. He demonstrated an instinct for following plays on defense. DAVID COULSON was Westmont's brilliant field general who earned many honors on the football field: All-County and All-State quarter- back in '46. Dave was co-captain and a triple threat man at quarterback. As a line bucker he was hard to stop. He passed and kicked with deadly accuracy. Winner of Point Stadium Award in '46. BILL GREGORY was a fast and alert fullback who was a good backfield blocker and interfer- ence runner. Bill was wide awake on defense and made many tackles. ALBERT HENZE was a great player at tackle. It was virtually impossible to move Alf out of the way. He, an outstanding lineman, was elect- ed co-captain of the team and was chosen All- County tackle in '46, RICHARD HORNICK was a consistently strong player at end. Finn was especially skilled in pass receiving and was a good defensive player. OWEN HUNT was a hard fighting guard who played hard to win. Owen was a good blocker and defensive guard. SHELDON HUNTER was a fleet-footed and de- ceptive halfback. Tutta had a deceptive change of pace and a knack for following his blockers. He was an accurate passer and a good kicker. EDWARD SATTEL was a tough player at guard who always played to win. Ed was hard to block out and was a good defensive player. HUBERT STRANGE was a superb end, both def fensively and offensively. Boogie seldom missed a tackle or failed to turn the play inside. On offense he was a spectacular pass catcher. He was All- County and All-State honorable mention in '45 and '46.

The Hilltoppers, expecting a rather easy win over Conemaugh Township the next week, were rudely awakened in the fourth quarter to find themselves trailing 14-7 with less than 3 minutes to go. Then, with fighting hearts, the Hilltoppers staged a spectacular comeback to win, 19-14. To start the rally, Hipp crossed up the Indians by taking a reverse from Coulson and heaving a pass half way down the field where Hubie Strange made a leaping catch. A penalty and a series of line plays from the 4 yard line put Coulson over for the second Westmont score. Coulson's placement was wide, and Westmont still trailed 14-13. Cone- maugh Township was forced to punt after re- ceiving the kickoff and Shelly Hunter returned it 24 yards. From there Coulson heaved a pass to Strange in the end zone. The game ended a short time later and Westmont was still unbeaten. On the road for the first time, Westmont journeyed to Ebensburg and scored a stunning 41-U win. Well, Westmont's boys couldn't do wrong as Coulson passed and Hipp and Coul- son ran for all the scores. Dave passed for three touchdowns and ran for one and Iohnny FIRST ROW-Left to Riqht-Rosalyn Rbmanoff, Sallie Anderson. Ramona Kauffman, Nanfv Reese, lean Rogers. SECOND ROVV-Patty Lon YVright, Thelma Glatz, ran for two. Strange caught two and I-Iornick one of the scoring passes. The Hilltoppers played on another Saturday and trounced Indiana 26-6. The Hilltoppers unveiled a new runner in Bill Gregory who tore off large gains on sweeping end runs. Greg scored in the first quarter as did Rich Hornick, who took a pass from Hipp to score standing up. Injured Gus Mancuso sparked the Indians to a second quarter score. In the second quarter Coulson passes 40 yards to Boogie Strange who in turn lateraled to Iohn Hipp who carried the ball over the goal. West- mont scored again in the fourth quarter on a series of spinners and line bucks. Coulson carried it over and kicked the second of the extra points and the final score stood 26-6. Riding on the crest of a six game win- ning streak, Westmont was tragedy bound. The tragedy was a rainy 12-0 defeat by a jinx Somerset squad. In a deluge of rain West- mont fumbled sixteen times in the first half while Somerset was scoring two touchdowns. Hipp played a stand-out game for Westmont but several long runs were to no avail as the Red and Gray attack stalled in puddles two inches deep. Emert scored twice for the Eagles, by air and ground. Bob Gregory was outstand- ing in Westmont's defensive game. Smarting from their lone defeat, a deter- mined Hilltop team took the field and downed undefeated Ferndale at the Point Stadium. Gehlman put the Iackets in an early lead by scoring in the first quarter but Westmont countered by sending Dave Coulson over in the second quarter. After a scoreless third chapter Westmont made its game-winning drive. Coulson did most of the running with line plunges. Then. on a fake end run, Tut Hunter flipped an aerial to Iohnny Hipp who took the 24 yarder in the end zone. Dave Coul- son kicked the clinching extra point. Final score-13-6. CHEERLEADERS Your Pep was not only a cheer but that spirit which the seven cheerleaders tried to emphasize throughout the whole year. Faith- fulness and hard work brought dividends when the actual showing came, but they still prac- ticed straight through the football and basket- ball seasons. Pep and originality were stress- ed, both in every old and every new cheer. Rain or shine, they stuck to their guns through every game and urged the team to victory. Cheers went up until the final whistle blew at the Somerset football game and the water was hip deep that night. Patty Wright. lean Rogers, Thelma Glatz, and Ramona Kauff- man will turn in their uniforms this year while Rosalyn Romanoff, Sallie Anderson, and Nan- cy Reese will be seen again next year.

IUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM The coming of the new season saw some twenty-odd grid aspirants report for the jayvee football team's first practice of nineteen-forty- six. Many weeks of hard rough practice fol- lowed, with all the positions being bitterly contested for. Under the expert, experienced direction of Russell lMacl McCauliff, a former football star at this school in l944, the boys were molded into a formidable aggregation. As the day for the first game came, the following boys answered the opening whistle: D. McCormick, D. Hoffman. E. Miller, C. Zim- merman, R. Marshall, H. Slagle, H. Drew, I. Berkebile, B. Walker, B. Blimmel, and E. New- baker. Playing an abbreviated five game schedule, the boys ran into trouble at the very start. Traveling downtown, they met the Ioseph Iohns team who later became the city Iunior High champs. After a hard struggle they came out on the short end of a 2U-U score. Then they played a tough bunch of boys from Garfield Iunior High School. Making a fight of it all the Way, they finally left the field with another loss, a bitterly contested I3-U decision. Their next game was against the tough Cochran eleven. Fighting a hard, but losing battle, they went home with another loss on the ledger, a score of l8-U. Still determined to win, they played host to Indiana Iunior High at Price Field. Using freshmen exclusively. the little Hilltoppers were set back again by a heartbreaking 13-5 score. Eddie Miller, the quarterback, did a good job of holding the team together all through the season. Against Indiana, he turned in a run of better than fifty yards for the first touchdown of the season. Taking the complete squad with them, they traveled to Indiana for a return engagement with the little Indians. Playing their best game of the year they finally left the field with a decisive l8-U victory, the first of the year. How- ever this steadily improving bunch of freshmen and sophomores didn't get another chance to win again because that was the last game of the year. The whole team distinguished them- selves, because the opposing teams always had an overwhelming Weight advantage. Much credit must be given to Mac Mc- Cauliff, who capably filled the position of coach for the season. It must be taken into consid- eration that the team was weakened consider- ably when several such able boys as Hoffman, Slagle, and McCormick were unable to play because they had to fill in as varsity reserves. While some of the boys on the squad will be called to do varsity work next year, there are a promising bunch of freshmen to fill in for them. They are Amershek, Raab, Woods, Cush, Carney, Newbaker, Suppes, and Bewak. Many of the boys distinguished themselves on the field. Dick Hoffman. for instance, got into the varsity game against Meyersdale and scored two touchdowns! McCormick also saw action and earned a letter. Harold Slagle play- ed in only one game before he was taken by the varsity Where he earned his letter. Many of the boys will be eligible for next year's team and are looking forward to a good season. Fifty Five hEn BASKETBALL The Basketball team reached an all time high in their very suc- cessful season. The boys worked hard to obtain their titles of Tri-Coun- ty and District Six winners. The first success was the victory over Conemaugh Township with a 56-35 total at the close. Westmont then tangled with Windber for a 54-39 finish. Next the team Went south of the Mason-Dixon to bring a 48-31 defeat to the Allegany high cagers. Another defeat was hand- ed. to the Indiana High lads to the tune of 51-20. On the return from Indiana the squad met the County Seaters of Ebensburg and ran off with one of the highest scores of the year's record in handing a 75-17 trouncing to Ebensburg. To be a loser is a part of any sport and the boys played this part when they lost a close, but decisive game to Iohnstown at a heart- breaking score of 43-41. This was a disappointment to all, but made the boys realize their vulnerable spots and buckle down to give their big rival, Ferndale. a 54-38 loss at their next engagement. This last game brought the season. to the halfway mark and the first return bout With Conemaugh Township yielded a 47-32 Win for the Gray and Scarlet. Next on their list was Ebensburg with another win for Westmont of 58-29. A return engagement with Windber gave Westmont a 77-20 win. Indiana High became twice loser to Westmont in the return bout to the tune of 45-35. The story that a good loser is a really good sport Was proved again in a Westmont-Iohnstown battle, with Iohnstown learning the lesson at a 41-33 tally. Now only Ferndale stood between Westmont and the Tri-County Title. At this final point the ball club received a blow when Coach Engh ST ROW-Left to Right-Sheldon Hunter, Simeon Margolis, Dave Coulson, Dick Hornlck. Boogie Strange, Iohn Hipp. SECOND ROW-Germaine Letezia. Stuart Kline, Bill Barney, Herb Sherer, Burt Dickson, Carl Park. Fifty Six broke his ankle. With Coaches Mannion and Askey in the driver's seat the boys defeated their opponents, Ferndale, 50-24, and claimed the Tri-County Title. Thus, the Winning of the Tri-County brought them into position to play Conemaugh High School for a crack at the District Six title. Meet- ing their opponents on the Iohnstown High School floor they defeated Conemaugh 4l-33. With this game to their credit, they had yet to play Altoona Central High School for the Championship of District Six. The odds were definitely against the team at this point and to everyone's surprise West- mont trounced Altoona 60-46. The underdogs played a superb brand of ball to bring down this final tally. They took the District Six Cham- pionship. The schedule now called for a tangle with Duquesne High School at Pitt Stadium in Pittsburgh, something entirely unheard of in the history of Westmont basketball teams. With a large following to back them up, the boys journeyed to the big city, but alas and alack it just Wasn't in the books for them for they went down to defeat with a 56-32 loss. With this defeat came the end of the basketball sea- son. The team left an excellent record behind them as a target for future teams to shoot for. In the whole season the squad suffered four defeats: one with Iohnstown, another with Alle- gany when the latter came to play on the home floor, a third in the annual game with the alumni, and a fourth to Duquesne. A team of such high caliber and sports- manship deserved a great deal of credit. Dave Coulson was awarded cr position on the All- District team, when he was selected guard and captain of first lineup. Iohn Hipp gained the honor of a position on the second string lineup. As for Moan Margolis, Shelley Hunter, and Boogie Strange, they all received honorable mention for their fine Work on the squad. The end of every season brings the finish of that sport for a few players. The squad is losing four of its boys by graduation: Dave Coulson who has received recognition for his great ability as a ball player, Shelley Hunter who did his part to put the team at the top. Hubert Strange, Who, although he had only one year of varsity training behind him, was able to step into a key position on the first string, and Dick Hornick who contributed his share to the school and squad. The basketball season for the Iunior Var- sity was also one of success. The boys com- pleted their season with an undefeated title. Hornick, Sherer, Park, Kline, and Letezia were usually in the starting lineup and were sup- ported by Hlivko, Berney, McCormick, Zimmer- man, Drew, Rudel, Dickson, and Gipe. Some of the squad saw varsity action in preparation for next year's season. The highlight of the sea- son was the winning of the South Fork Tourna- ment.

The Tri- County Baseball League included the same schools that were in the Basketball League. Westmont's home field was at the Point Sta- dium and we entered into competition with high hopes. Mr. Engh and Mr. Askey were the baseball coaches and about forty would- be baseball players answered the coaches' call. By the start of the season the team had dwindled down to about twenty players. Finally, after many changes, the first team was made with Dick Hornick at first base, Sheldon Hunter at second base, Karl Park at third base, Iim Iohns at short stop, Clayton Tyner at left field, Iohn Hipp at center field, Hubert Strange at right field, Paul Campbell as catcher, and Moan Margolis and south- paw Ken Dorian as pitchers. There was also a substitute team almost as good as the first. Sonny Piazza, Sonny Conrad, Herb Weiss, and Whitey Adams, were infielders and Bob Bar- rett, Dave Coulson, Bill Gregory, and Dean Folckemer were outfielders. Sheldon Hunter and Dean Folckemer could be converted to pitchers if their services were required. Charles Baxendell, a promising pitcher, was seriously hurt by a pitcher's ball during a practice session early in the season. The best batter for Westmont was short stop lim Iohns. In the Tri-County League opener Margolis struck out eighteen batters for a 7-2 win over Ferndale. It was a one hitter job for Fern- dale, Iirn Iohns getting the only hit for West- mont. In the second game Iohnstown knocked over Westmont 8-0, as Westmont got but one hit, a clean single by Tyner. In the third game Margolis tossed a no hitter against Windber High for Westmont's second win in the Tri-County League 3-l. Westmont was then drubbed l4-4 by Conemaugh Township, and lost 6-2 to Indiana High. In the final Tri- County game Conemaugh Township again beat Westmont 4-l. The Tri-County League then decided to dis- band baseball for the rest of the year because of the numerous postponed contests cluttering up the schedule. The only undefeated teams, Iohnstown and Conemaugh Township, played a three-game play-off series which Iohnstown won to become the Tri-County baseball cham- pions. The league officials began formulating plans for a much improved circuit next year. The regular season ended with Westmont in fourth place with two wins and four losses, a good ending for Westmont's first baseball team. Fifty Nine TRACK , N , In spring a young athlete's thoughts lightly turn to track, and track it is at Westmont. Once a powerful track school, Westmont has been content to bide its time lately in waiting for better days. Hopes for a good season in the spring of forty-six faded when Floyd Boyer, our sprinter, pulled a muscle and was forced to drop from the squad. From then on the bulk of the points were earned at the meets by our two weight men, Boogie Strange and Dave Coulson. In our first meet, a five team affair con- sisting of Iohnstown, Westmont, Windber, Ebensburg, and Conemaugh Township, we fin- ished fourth with only Windber scoring less than we. Westmont took second in the 880 re- lay and first in the javelin throw and shotput. Barrett won the shotput and Coulson the jave- lin throw, While the relay team consisted of Boyer, Sattel, Coulson, and Strange. Our next meet was the annual Iunior Pitt invitational Meet. There, with more competi- tion, Westmont took places in only two events. Shelly Hunter tied for second in the pole vault and Boogie Strange took second and Dave Coulson third in the javelin throw. The boys received medals for their efforts. Cone- maugh Township won the Class B Champion- ff f ,j ship and Derry Township won the Class A title. Following this, the boys went to Altoona to participate in the District B P. I. A. A. meet. Lady Luck shone on our squad there as they placed in rnany events. Eddie Sattell took a fifth in the hundred yard dash, Boogie Strange won second in the javelin throw. Westmont was entered in Class B and Dave and Boogie were eligible for competition in the state meet at State College. Unfortunately the boys didn't place at this meet. Boogie and Dave each re- ceived awards for their Altoona performances. The last meeting of the track squad was the annual decathlon, which is an intra squad affair consisting of ten events-the 100, 220, 440, 880. and mile runs, the discus throw, the javelin throw, the shotput, the high jump, and the running broad jump. Floyd Boyer won the l00, 220, 440, and Dave Coulson Won the dis- cus throw. shotput, and javelin throw, while Boogie took second in the l00, 220, 440, discus throw, javelin throw, and third in the shotput. Neither of the three placed in the high jump and the other events went unfinished. By gen- eral consent Boyer was conceded winner with nineteen points and Dave and Boogie tied for second with sixteen each.

T g Sixty GIRLS' INTRAMURALS Girls' Intramurals always seem to create intense interest at noon. and this year they hit an all-time high in keen competition. The first tournament was the battle for tennis champ, a tournament played on the mound courts whenever the weather permitted. This ended with Patty Lou Wright champion and lean Rogers, Eileen Shaffer, and Sue Orr close behind. Badminton and deck tennis were next on the schedule, but deck tennis came first. Deck been almost every other year, the competition between the Iuniors and Seniors was active- ly contested. The Seniors wished to take top place since they will be leaving Westmont's gym this year, but the Iuniors Weren't senti- mental and were doing everything in their power to take it themselves. The Freshmen were introduced to basket- ball this year for the first time and as in the past quickly entered it in their collection of sports. Various groups were often seen prac- tennis went into full swing and what a hard fought battle this turned out to be! The Seniors beat the Sophomores and Freshmen, and lost to the Iuniors. The Iuniors beat the Seniors and Freshmen and they lost to the Sophomores. This tied the Seniors and Iuniors, each with two wins and one loss. The tournament was played over again and ended the same way. The gym club then stepped in and voted to give all three classes one hundred points each and call them equal in skill. Badminton now made its appearance in the picture. Eliminations for the title were going on up to, through, and after Christmas vaca- tion. Pat Wood, a junior, claimed the title with lean Rogers, Shirley Eash, and Pauline Wertz, following close behind. The new year brought first the much looked- forward-to basketball tournament. As it has ticing in the gym on Friday afternoon after school. Selections for the volley-ball team were be- gun in February. The captains for each class were selected by the class itself while the regu- lar team was chosen by the captains with the advice of their teacher, Miss Elizabeth Greer. Ping pong always invites the interest of many and the final winner was Iane Bowman, followed by Doris Gindlesberger, Helen Stan- ton, and Louise Bregman. In the spring the last two tournaments were archery and base- ball. The many forms of competition kept the girls busy at noon and gave each one a chance to earn five hundred points for her letter. Intra- murals were a high light for every girl in her four years of high school, and one which can not be forgotten easily. Sixty One ,.. , ,.
