The Season's Story

ALTOONA High had a very successful season on the gridiron this year, and
school fans defy anyone to say it didn't. Seven victories and only four
defeats is a record of which any school might be proud. In fashioning a
fast, powerful and highly-touted Maroon eleven out of a raw and
inexperienced squad, the coaching staff did a "bang-up" job.

     Altoona was at her best and showed real strength and power when she
defeated William Penn of Harrisburg, the aggregation that defeated the
Maroon and White last year for the state title.  The students of Altoona
High School will always remember a team that was ever a bulwark on the
defense, that flashed a powerful and versatile attack, and strove valiantly;
a team that came up smiling, even in defeat.

WILLIAMSBURG ROUTED

     The initial game of the season witnessed a fast, speedy Altoona
grid-machine annex a 31-0 victory over Williamsburg. So concerted was the
Maroon attack, that the team ran up a total of 27 first-downs to none for
its opponent. Sheldon Savage, quarterback, intercepting a Blue and White
forward, raced 54 yards for a touchdown. This was to be one of a series of
long runs featured by Altoona grid men during the season.  Garritano tallied
twice; Stere and Blake, each once; Roger Blake accounted for the extra
point. 

     It is interesting to note that three sets of "backs" were used, and
each was able to gain. Thirty-four Maroon Warriors, attired in their new
white jerseys which were adorned with a maroon triangle, helped launch the
first game of the season. 

 DUBOIS RALLIES TO BEAT A. H. S.

     One of the hardest-fought, toughest struggles of the season was waged
on the Mansion Park field when DuBois took over Altoona. The Maroons were
not destined to win this game, a game that seemed an Altoona victory until
the last ten minutes of play. In the second chapter, when a DuBois punt was
downed on its own five-yard line, Altoona was able to crash through for a
score in three plays. The half ended with a score of 8-7 in favor of DuBois.
In three power plays through the line, Blake jammed across the goal line in
the final period to put Altoona in the lead 16-8.  Victory seemed certain;
but, alas, the tide turned. A 62-yard sprint by Shobert on a forward pass, a
30-yard run by Boring on a blocked punt, and another 59-yard sprint by
Whitford on an intercepted pass resulted in touchdowns which gave DuBois a
decisive victory.

     Folks say that history repeats itself. But, here's hoping it doesn't
repeat, next year, this defeat for Altoona.

A. H. S. TRIUMPHS OVER SOUTH HIGH

     Altoona High rallied in the third period to beat a plucky Iron City
Eleven to the tune of 19-14. South took the aggressive jump in the first
quarter to score on a pair of passes. 

     The Pittsburghers gave a beautiful demonstration in the art of throwing
passes. The Maroons were all eyes, and quickly followed suit when, in the
third period, Mastrocola, who was absent from the DuBois game due to
injuries, scored twice on two forwards thrown by Kyle. Ganz intercepted a
forward early in the fourth quarter, to skip for another touchdown.

     South High gave another magnificent exhibition of passing ability by
scoring a second touchdown and extra point on four forwards thrown by Grad,
the right halfback. The Pittsburghers fought valiantly, but the Maroons were
apparently the better team.



ALTOONA DROPS ANOTHER

     The Williamsport Cherry and White romped to a hard-won victory with a
tally of 21-13. There was one great battle throughout the whole game, and
the Maroons certainly did not give up hope for victory until the final
whistle.

     The "Pre-Depression Millionaires" almost got away to score on the
opening kick-off when Stebbins ripped off a 70-yard return of the parabola.
Luckily, Mastrocola spilled him on the 25-yard line. The Emanuelites scored
first and last. In twelve plays featuring fine runs by Kyle and Ward, Blake
went over for the first touchdown. Unfortunately, a few errors on the part
of the Maroons in the third period gave the Billtowners scoring chances, in
which Stopper and Stebbins tallied.  Two fumbles and a missed punt signal on
the part of the Altoonans gave the Cherry and White an advantage in the
third chapter. However, in the fourth quarter, a partly blocked Cherry punt
paved the way for the Maroon's second touchdown.

A. H. S. DOWNS LOCK HAVEN

     A strong Maroon Eleven with a lot of pep and fight trotted on the field
that October day to give the Purple its fifth consecutive trouncing. It
didn't take long for the Maroon battering ram to push through to the Lock
Haven 16-yard line. Then Blake faded back and winged the pigskin to Kyle,
who carried it across for the first score. In that same eventful period,
after intercepting a Purple forward pass, Ward ran straight up the field,
eluding all tacklers, to score.

     The Maroons played a most remarkable game in that they persistently
broke through to throw the Clinton county lads for a total loss of 53-yards,
on thirteen different occasions. Starting the second half, the splendid
defensive rallies of the Maroon forward wall kept the Purple and Gold from
dead-locking the game. This courageous stand came in the third quarter, when
the Purple was stopped on the Maroon 1-yard mark. Hats off to the Maroons on
that day, particularly to Captain Hoenstine, Ward, and Kyle!

BISONS GET SETBACK

     More than fifteen hundred Maroon rooters took the trip to Clearfield to
see a furious Bison Eleven battle with Altoona. Holding Altoona scoreless
for three periods was really a moral victory for the Red and Black. It
looked almost as if the two teams would battle to a deadlock, until
Heverly's 20-yard return of a Red punt started the Maroon grid machine
rolling. McDowell, in two tries, cracked the line for fourteen yards. Kyle
went over for the touchdown. The score was 6-0.

     This was a big game for Clearfield, the best one staged there for a
long time. Black is a color of ill omen, some say. But not so on this day,
by cracky! The Altoona lads came off with flying colors, in spits of dusky
jerseys.

WILLIAM PENN UPSET

     Nothing has ever given the Maroon fans more pleasure and satisfaction
(except, perhaps, a victory over Johnstown) than the beating the "Billy
Penners" sustained that Saturday on the Mansion Park field. They defeated
Altoona last year for the state title, and so the Harrisburgers came here
expecting to carry home the bacon. But, it so happened, they couldn't take
even a piece of it. The score was 20-0, ALTOONA.

     Each one of the Altoona backs smacked the line with irresistible force.
Luckner, Kyle, and Riley each made a touchdown. Billy Schmidt place-kicked
for one of the extra points. This was a novelty, for the Maroons hadn't
drop-kicked for a long time. Lawrence Riley, fullback, deserves honorable
mention in these chronicles, for his outstanding line-bucking on that day,
thereby earning for himself the lasting appellation, "Ram Riley." Throughout
this game, whenever the Maroons clicked, nothing could hold them.

     It is interesting to note that "Vic" Emanuel, assistant football coach
at William Penn, is a brother of "Snaps." This assuredly made the contest
one of very special interest.

HUNTINGDON VICTORIOUS

     Well, another week has gone by. Last Saturday, Dame Fortune smiled on
the Altoona boys; this week, however, she smiled on the Huntingdon boys. For
the first time in eleven years a Huntingdon Bearcat Eleven was able to
defeat and to hold an Altoona team scoreless. The Huntingdon fans were in a
frenzy of excitement. The Altoonans were stunned.

     Captain Hoenstine played a bang-up game. Many a time he slipped through
and tossed the Bearcats for a loss behind the line of scrimmage.

     Despite the trio of touchdowns that made the Huntingdon victory,
Altoona High really had a fine defense, but didn't take advantage of any of
those great goal line stands that checked the Huntingdon advance.
Unfortunately the Bearcats scored at the most unexpected times.

     It is only fair to say that the Bearcats were deserving of heartiest
laudations, and their most able captain, Wendell Wear, is to be especially
commended.

"JAWNS" WIN

     A blocked punt and a completed forward pass in the end zone gave
Johnstown High the victory in the fourteenth annual gridiron clash, 12-2.

     A crowd of twelve thousand at the muddy Point Stadium grounds watched
an undefeated Johnstown Eleven desperately trying to overcome a Maroon lead
of two points in the first period of that game. The Altoona fans went wild
in that first quarter when a Riley punt dropped 6 inches from the Johnnie
goal line, and Napotnic, on the next play, was thrown behind the goal line
for an Altoona safety. But, alas, in a veritable sea of mud, the Dawns were
better "mudders" than the Maroons, and they succeeded in tallying twice. A
Maroon triple reverse play, ending in a forward pass, was considered the
best play of the game, even though it failed. It brought great applause from
both the Altoona and the Johnstown fans.

     Each of thirty-two Emanuelites was given his opportunity to taste of
the mud and water. Johnstown kept its lineup intact, using only three subs.

     It was estimated that twenty-two hundred persons jammed the coaches of
the special train leaving Altoona that Saturday. It was the biggest special
which had ever left Altoona for a football game. Several thousand fans took
the trip over the hills by auto.

     Despite the defeat, Altoona fans were consoled by the fact that the
Emanuelites were the first to score on the Johnnies this season. Veritable
"Polyannas"!

A. H. S. SWAMPS PORTAGE

     After missing fire for two consecutive games, the Maroon avalanche,
moving with the relentless power of a war tank, drove through to a 27-0
victory over Portage. It was an ideal day for a football game, - clear, dry,
and cool. It was the fourth straight year that Portage was humbled in the
just-before-the-holiday game.

     Starting with terrific punch and drive, the Maroon team jammed across
its first touchdown in the early part of the first quarter. The second count
came in the fourth play of the second period. The spectators saw a game that
was filled with nearly every thrill that football holds. The two big thrills
of the game came when Ward streaked through center, sidestepped, and dodged
to sprint 69 yards for a touchdown. Riley ran an intercepted pass for
another tally.

     During the intermission, the Altoona and Portage bands exhibited some
fine drilling. The Portage band formed the double "health seal" cross.

TYRONE CRUSHED

     Displaying a varied and deadly offense and defense which held the
Orangemen to very little net gain, the Maroons overwhelmed Tyrone by a 26-0
score in the annual "Turkey Day" game. It was a beautiful day for a football
game, and the largest crowd of the season attended. The Tyrone stands were
jammed, and those fans certainly weren't sparing their vocal cords.

     Three of the Maroon touchdowns were made on long, thrilling runs.
Rabbit Ward ran 72 and 53 yards from scrimmage to score twice. George Stere
tallied on a 32-yard sprint. In that wind-up game the Maroons were a
smooth-going, hard-hitting, and peppy bunch. Tyrone's best play was Scardo's
41-yard return of the kick-off in the third chapter.

     In this game, every Maroon warrior was given a chance to play except
Blake and Armstrong, who were incapacitated.

1934 Basketball Season

(Sing to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home")

Basketball season once more as here, hurrah! hurrah!

Let's give the boys a lofty cheer, hurrah! hurrah!

For didn't they beat the Johnstown Hi,

The winner of the County-Tri?

So hail, all hail! to the A. H. basketeers!

MAROONS DROP OPENER TO ALUMNI

     The classy Altoona High Alumni team clinched a hard won victory in this
extra period cage game, 27-26. The graduates, finding very little opposition
in the first half, rang up a safe lead against the new A. H. S. combination.
Starting the second half of the game, a rejuvenated Maroon five made a
remarkable comeback. When the final gun barked, the game stood at 22-all. In
the extra five minute period, the game was fast and furious. Knepley on a
perfect tip-off from center dribbled down the floor to make the necessary
basket which gave the Alumni the edge in this closely contested battle.
"Chitz" Gracey was high scorer, caging four field goals and two fouls.

JUNIATA COLLEGE FROSH TAKE DEFEAT

     The Juniata Frosh hoopmen furnished very little opposition to the
Maroon quintet during the first half of the game. Even though Mintemier and
Davis staged a rally for the college boys after the half, they were unable
to overcome the safe lead held by the Maroons. Superior passing and floor
work in the initial chapters gave the Emanuelites a decided edge. The score
was 33-24.

MAROONS TOPPLE EDGEWOOD SCHOOL FOR DEAF

     The Emanuel cagers took an apparently easy victory from the Pittsburgh
Edgewood School for deaf, 38-18. The Maroons led in every period except the
fourth, when the Edgewood passers in a final spurt scored 14 points to
Altoona's 6. In the final session, Coach Emanuel inserted the second string
players, who adequately finished the contest. "Nick" Ganz and "Rabbit" Ward
took the honors in point-scoring.

A FERNDALE VICTORY

     A big and fast Ferndale team, playing a rather cautious game, managed
to come out on the heavy end of a 21-12 score. The Maroons counted only two
field goals throughout the whole game and caged eight fouls. The Ferndale
boys, who had an advantage in weight, constituted a combination which the
diminutive Maroon passers found hard to beat.

MAROONS DROP TO WESTMONT

     In this keenly fought cage game the Maroon passers emerged second best,
the score being 23-18. The Westmonters took the first period 6-4; the half
ended with Altoona in the lead, 9-7. Ward on three consecutive occasions
tied the game for the Emanuelites. However, in the third period the
Hilltoppers' excellent passing attack brought them to the front again, and
they retained the lead to the finish. The Enghmen's short passing, pivot and
fast-breaking offense enabled them to constantly elude the Maroon guards for
close-up and easy side shots.

EMANUELITES LOSE TO JOHNSTOWN

     The Altoona High hoopmen, featuring a fast start carried the first
chapter 4-1. The Blue and Black took the second period 10-4 and led 11-8 at
the half. The Maroons took the third period with the score 15-14. The Johns
carried the windup, ringing the net for a trio of baskets and four fouls.
The game ended with the Maroon basketeers on the small end of a 25-18 count.
It was the first "at home" game the Coach Harrick team won from Altoona in
seven years.

WINDBER SQUELCHED

     After three successive losses the Maroons hit their former stride to
wallop the Windber "coalminers," 31-17. The Altoona boys clicked. Showing
fine defense 

work, and giving a beautiful passing exhibition, the Maroon and White easily
and sedulously penetrated the Windber defense. "Nick" Ganz was high point
man, with four field goals; while Humphrey and Parsons had seven points
each.

BILLTOWN TAKES ONE

     The Maroon hoopmen gave Williamsport a terrific battle on the latter's
own court, 26-21. The Cherry five carried the first three sessions, while
the Emanuelites garnered the fourth, 9-7. Altoona ran up a total of seven
fouls to six for the Billtowners. "Nick" Ganz and "Bill" Parsons featured
for the Maroons, the former scoring seven and the latter six points. Since
the Maroon rally in the fourth quarter could not overcome the Billtown
margin, the Cherry and White nabbed the decision 26-21.

MAROONS TAKE OVER PORTAGE

     Displaying plenty of fight and spirit, the A. H. S. basketeers nosed
out a scrappy Portage five, 28-26. The Maroons led the first three periods
until a Portage last quarter spurt deadlocked the game 26-26. With but a few
minutes to play, Paul Whyte, sub center, rang the net to clinch the verdict
for the Maroon passers. Fouls were numerous, the teams sharing almost
equally. As a result three Altoonans and two Portagers were ejected on
personal fouls. P. Whyte was high scorer for Altoona, rolling in two field
goals and four fouls.

WESTMONTERS WIN AGAIN

     In what proved to be one of the most interesting games of the season,
one that featured every thrill basketball can hold, a game accompanied by a
chorus of howls and yells, Altoona lost, taking a 26-21 count. What really
won the game for the Westmonters, was their ingenious holing of long shots.
Westmont, getting off to a 6-2 lead, held until the third round when the
Maroon hoopmen shot ahead. The Hilltoppers retained the lead, 19-15. It
wasn't long till Schmidt's two pointer and "Rabbit" Ward's two masterful
foul shots dead-locked the game. In the extra three minute period, Spuhler's
three excellent and accurate shots from near the center of the court
pronounced victory for the visitors.

ANOTHER FERNDALE VICTORY

     The Ferndale cage five emerged victorious in its second tilt with the
Maroon quintet, the final count standing at 33-18. The Maroons, obviously
being in a state of somnambulation, found it difficult to counter. Paul
Whyte, however, played a fine game, ringing up three field goals and four
fouls.

MAROON AND WHITE SWAMP PORTAGE

      The Portage High quintet fell for the second time beneath the
Emanuelite onslaught. Although the Varsity had a little difficulty in
getting started, the tally for this tussle was 32-10. But after gaining in
momentum, they were hard to stop. The Altoona warriors took every period,
tallying without any trouble 4, 8, 10, 10 respectively for each chapter. At
no time was the "Junior House of David" a threat. Bill Parsons was the
outstanding scorer, counting five goals and two fouls. 

     (The Portage players threatened to dispense with shaving until they won
their next game.)

WILLIAMSPORT VANQUISHED

     An alert and aggressive Maroon basketball team, which functioned
smoothly at crucial moments, defied the "Billtown Jonah," 16-9. Although
this is one of the lowest scores on record for cage competition, the game
was played with terrific speed. Until the finish there was always doubt as
to the winner. The Cherry took the first half by a one point margin and the
Maroons spurted to the front in the third chapter. Two field goals by Bill
Parsons in the last minute and a half provided the Varsity with its margin
of victory. Whyte took the individual scoring honors, caging three field
goals and two fouls.

WINDBER TAKES SECOND LOSS

     The Windber "coaltowners" suffered another disastrous defeat at the
hands of the Altoona hoopmen on the former's own court. The Maroons
registered on the heavy end of the 27-14 tally. The score read 11-10 at the
half for Altoona, appearing to be a rather closely contested encounter.
Evidently a little bit of Emanuel fiery talk altered the situation, for the
Altoona boys ran wild in the final two chapters. Bill Parsons was high
scorer, landing five field goals and two fouls.

JOHNSTOWN DEFEATED

     The Altoona High quintet paid a fitting farewell to the 1934 basketball
season by defeating the invading Flood City rive, 20-19. More than fifteen
hundred people, occupying every bit of available room, witnessed the Maroon
windup. The Johns took the first half 11-6, while the Maroons came back
strong in the third period to deadlock the game at 12-all. A free toss and a
basket by "Bob" Smith gave the Maroons the edge in the final chapter. The
Jawn score was almost entirely due to their superior foul shooting in which
eleven of their points were made. The windup session featured a smattering
of football and a whale of excellent basketball.

Track Season, 1933

     UNDER the able direction of Coach "Dick" Bartholomew, track and field
events have become one of the major sports of the Altoona High School. The
city seems to be producing bigger and better track men every year, the
latest season being no exception.

     The season of 1933 opened with the Varsity Alumni meet at Mansion Park
field on April 15, when the Maroons carried off the scalps of the ex-service
boys to the

rousing tune of 69 to 5.7 points. V. Hanley took the trophy for the
hammer-throw,

having tossed the missile 145 feet. With this heave the record established
by Rouzer in 1931 was shattered; Rouzer himself threw second best and D.
Hanley third. In the pole-vault Hallman scaled the bar at 11.5 feet, setting
a new record for that event. Wharton and Neugebauer tied for second place.
Highest honor in the high-jump was claimed by Muir, of the Alumni, with 5
feet 2 inches as the height. Hicks won first place in the 100-yard dash,
time 10.1 seconds. (Appears we have a dusky Mercury in our midst.) Clark and
Stere humbled the Alumni in the mile and 220, respectively. The Varsity
team, Hicks, Watson, Ward, and Fluke, placed first and second in the relays.

     The Maroons "copped" the mile relay at Philadelphia, on April 29, the
state championship in that event, thanks to Ward, Fluke, Watson, and Hicks.
The same team with the exception of Fluke, who was replaced by Patterson,
came in seventh for the national relays.

     In keeping with the family tradition, Altoona, on May 6, ran off with
the interscholastic meet at Penn State, taking first place in the 440-yard
dash, 1-2 mile and mile runs. When Altoona breasted the tape in the relay,
it was with a 30-yard lead on Lower Merion, running second. At this meet
Altoona took 46 1-2 points while Lower Merion took only 31 1-2 points.

     May 13 Altoona piled up an overwhelming score at a triangular meet on
home ground by completely submerging her opponents with a score of 111 2-5
points. State College scored 14 and Lock Haven 17 3-5 points. Ward took the
individual scoring honors by winning the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash,
and the broad jump; V. Hanley and Stere rated second in points scored.

     Altoona won the District Six track meet for the fourth consecutive
season on May 20. The locals garnered 93 points; State College, the
"runner-up," gained but 20 points. Ward was again high-point man with Smith

Edward F. "Snaps" Emanuel, Head Coach

Kenneth R. Bashore, Line Coach

Trainer, Richard H. Bartholomew

    THE success of the various athletic enterprises in Altoona High School
is largely due to the skilled technique of Edward F. Emanuel, the head
coach. "Snaps," as he is commonly known by students and friends, has
engineered the many

achievements of the football and basketball teams for the last eight years,
during which time he has produced teams that have made for Altoona a
prominent place in athletic circles of the state. Mr. Emanuel is a product
of Gettysburg College, where he won letters, during his undergraduate days,
in three major sports. He was one of Gettysburg's shining meteorites and now
he shines as Altoona's "A No. 1" coach.

     Richard Bartholomew is indispensable to Altoona High athletics. "Bart"
is a competent and clever track coach. He knows the fine points of the game,
and has been instrumental in producing excellent track teams. He began his
athletic career in Altoona High football and track and continued his
training in Penn State where he distinguished himself as captain of his
track team. Mr. Bartholomew became widely known when he figured in the
national intercollegiate competition for 1927.

     Kenneth R. Bashore's efforts have been concentrated on the line of the
football team with very fine results. Mr. Bashore prepared at Shippensburg
State Teachers College and Colgate University; in the latter school he had
the distinction of being the "crack" captain of a "crack" football team.
Before coming to Altoona High, he was retained at Galeton and Beaverdale
High Schools in the capacity of head coach. With this training and
experience, Mr. Bashore is admirably fitted for the part he plays in
athletics.

MUSIC

THOSE who are concerned with the profitable use of much-talked-about leisure
time may well be interested in the numerous opportunities offered in the
music department of Altoona High School, where students assemble for
training in both vocal and instrumental music. From chorus groups, several
orchestras, and a band, the school and other organizations of the city have
drawn freely for excellent programs. The music department makes the school a
happier place in which to live.

    

     The climax of activities in this department comes in the Annual Show.
From the proceeds of this production, substantial contributions are given to
the welfare fund of the school and THE HORSESHOE. The Senior class
appreciates this assistance, without which the balancing of the yearbook
budget would be a difficult task.

     "Lights, orchestra, curtain!" - and the show began. It was the Annual
Show and was it a hit! The audience breathlessly enjoyed every minute of it,
as they sat on the edge of seats, expectant, and eager. Talent unheard of -
singers, dancers, actors, and actresses - blazed forth in this annual
presentation of the Altoona High School! For many weeks a large group of
teachers and students worked faithfully to make this presentation a success.
The school is especially grateful to Mr. Lindaman, the director, and his
able co-workers - to Miss Elma Eberle for the musical selections, to Mr.
Krivsky for the contribution of his orchestra, to Danny Dandrea for the
clever skits, and to Miss Rodkey for dramatic numbers. As evidence of the
success of "1934 Highlights" one might say that over six thousand people
attended the four performances given on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights
(March 15, 16, 17), and the matinee presented on Saturday afternoon in the
Roosevelt High School auditorium.

   

     Mr. Krivsky's talented orchestra played a few selections before the
curtain rose, among which was that beautiful song-hit of the year, "The Last
Round-up." Girls dressed in summery frocks officiated as ushers.

 

     The first presentation consisted of five clowns who made the audience
"roar" with their laughable mistakes in trying to adjust themselves to say
"HELLO FOLKS."  In this same act, the acrobats and tumblers, much to the
merriment and enjoyment of the audience, performed some very breath-taking
feats.

     During the intermission, Ann Weiner and Anabell McKinney rendered vocal
solos and then Amagigkasimeisuskiski (try to pronounce it) blared forth. You
should have heard the "Oh's" and "Ah's" when he brought those little kittens
out of his pockets. Maybe he wasn't a magician - in fact, there's evidence
that he was only

"Joe" Waxler.

     The Russian act was excellently staged and interpreted. Against a bare,
snowy background, a scene was enacted depicting the cold, domineering
masters of old Russia and then the military forces of new Russia. The motto
of the new Russia, Onward, Forward," was the theme, and the liberation of
her people was dramatized in a beautiful dance by Sylvia Raab. Eskil Beckman
acted as czar, with Wilma Barr, Mary Rusynyk, Bill Kearns, and Dick Luckner
as peasants. The close of this act featured a dance by Jeannette Cramer and
Francis Phillips.

     Among the numerous specialties, Jane Snyder presented a soft shoe
dance. Joe Penner was impersonated by Gabriel Chido (or perhaps it was Joe
himself) and he, with Mary Louise Hinman, delighted the audience with a
cleverly devised skit.

Marjorie Treese in her white satin and white fur costume gave a charming
dance to the lilting melody of "It's Winter Again," played by Mr. Krivsky's
orchestra.

     The drop curtain of the next scene revealed the blue lake of Killarney.
Janet Stultz and Tommy Hartsock, as Kathleen and Michael, recalled the
lovely songs and dances of Erin. How delightfully sung were the ballads
"Where The River Shannon Flows," "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," and "My Wild
Irish Rose." Evelyn Satterfield and Esther Henry gracefully danced the Irish
jig.

     At the close of this act, the "blues" soloist, Eleanor Veleno, sang
"Lullaby Blues" and "Some of These Days," as only Eleanor can sing them.

     Ted Healey and his stooges put on some face slapping and fast fun in
their acts. The parts were enacted by Jimmy Lafferty, Billy Schmidt, Bill
Wolfe, Tom Teirnan, and Pat McGuire.

     In the ranch scene, the picturesque cowboys lingered languidly before
the Quien Sabe ranch while they sang "All Pals Together" and "On the Big
Corral," with Hugh Torrance acting as Will Rogers - lariat, mild philosophy,
and all! George Croft as a "hill billy" sang, "The Last Round-up," thrilling
his listeners with the way he hit those bass notes. Jane Grimshaw and Ann
Ohlwiler, clad in cowboy togs (yes, they even had guns), put on an animated
dance number. Margaret Houtz sang "Way Out West in Kansas;" playing her own
guitar accompaniment, and introducing a clever yodeling between each of the
verses. Ruth Marcus also presented a charming Spanish dance and Gabriel sang
"Rose Marie."

     As specialties, Don Harrison impersonated Eddie Cantor and Billy Batrus
represented Jimmie Wallington. "Me Too," which included "Skippy" Skipper,
Janet Stultz, Martha Flegler, "Berky" Berkheimer and Gabriel Chido, brought
gales of laughter from the audience, especially when the actors made clever
allusions to high school teachers (not meaning anyone in particular).


     The Indian scenes were lovely. Wilma Barr presented Hiawatha's wooing
and the chorus, clad as Indians with blankets and head feathers, sang "Pale
Moon" and "Indian Dawn." Gabriel Chido appeared as Hiawatha and Janet Stultz
was a lovely and alluring Minnehaha. They sang together the "Indian Love
Call."


     Betty Brunhuber's tap dance was artistic, and the trio of piano
accordions, played by Gerald Benson, Theda McMahon and Bill Dent, gave added
variety to the program.


     All the stage scenery was beautiful, but Ray Bohn turned out his
masterpiece in the scene for the old English garden act, the last on the
program. A group of girls in colorful organdy frocks seemed like real
flowers, but they woke and danced at a wave of the gardener's sprinkling
can. A clever farm scene was introduced during this act, with a setting of a
farm silo and two realistic haystacks. Dances and drills were presented by
the farmers, farmerettes, and gypsies.


     A quartet - Mary Curtis, Eleanor Veleno, Jim Lafferty and Bill Schmidt
sang vocal selections; two setter dogs also appeared in this act. Then the
trick dog (Leo Muri) in charge of Don Stegmier and Gale Reffner, as a
delightfully "dum dora," enacted a comical skit.


     Ann May Berkheimer featured a difficult acrobatic dance. Then to climax
the act, Mary Louise (Elsie) came in as Gabriel's (Mr. Brown's) long-absent
lover. Here he again entranced the audience by singing "Moonlight Madonna."


     The grand finale, with the large company of student players on the
stage, brought to an end one of the best and most successful school shows in
years, the credit for which is due to tireless work and endless training by
all the participants.

CLASS PREDICTIONS:

Radio Flashes - 1944

THIS is station WAHS, Altoona, Pennsylvania, joining the N. B. C. hookup.
Your announcer is Dean Grove.

Bong:

     The Cleave's Cough Drop Company presents Jack Strassler, the man who
sees all, hears all, and spills all.

     Hello folks, I've just got back from Lake Placid, where I witnessed the
winter carnival. The most spectacular performance was that ski-jump of the
world champ, Bob Hite. However, Joe Hirt, Murray Weight, Eugene Crane, and
James Winn, the famous toboggan team, gave us some thrilling moments when
they swept by in their blue ribbon run. Miss Betty Warner, the queen of the
carnival, had a severe cold and was confined to her bed yesterday by the
advice of her physician, Dr. Herbert Thomas.

     Speaking of doctors, Dr. John Shaffer and his company are expected to
arrive in New York on Wednesday. Doctor Shaffer, as you know, has been big
game hunting in Africa for the past three years. With Shaffer are the other
well-known Altoonans - Arthur Fair, the taxidermist, and Professor Leo
Schlachter, an authority on African wild life.

     By the way, a colleague of Professor Schlachter is now recuperating at
the Elizabeth Wilson Foundation rest cure asylum. The gentleman in question
is Professor Hugh K. Torrance, who was found flitting up and down Eleventh
Avenue attempting to catch Japanese beetles with a butterfly net.

     While folks are enjoying the winter sports at Lake Placid, Philadelphia
is enjoying sports of a different nature - the indoor kind. Not all the
contests are over, but the results so far are: Eskil Beckman, owner of the
Black and Blue Taxi Company, is the international Ping-Pong champion, while
his runner-up is Pete Edmiston. The checker champ is none other than William
Wolfe. The pewter poker cup goes to Don Wiesinger.

     I am sending out an appeal for help. Miss Betty Kurtz, famous for her
collection of odd animals, has just presented me with a pink polar bear
which she captured on her recent exploration in the Arctic region, and I
don't know what to call it. If you think of a good name, send your
suggestion to me in care of this station.

     There was a record-breaking temperature today. The mercury in Altoona,
as reported by Miss Lois Walker, an official of the test plant, went down to
26 degrees below zero - the lowest record in ten years. On February 7, 1934,
the temperature registered as low as 30 degrees below zero.

     All New York was astir last night - the Metropolitan Opera House was
afire! The famous tenor, George Stere, and the supreme Eleanor Veleno, stars
at the House this week, were miraculously saved from death by a brave
fireman, Isador Brooks. Some of New York's "400" who were in the audience
received slight injuries in the mad rush for the exits. Miss Jane Berkowitz,
society's most popular hostess, Countess Leonardo nee Hartswick, and Miss
Jean Harris, the author of Puny Puns for Puny People, were among those that
were rushed to the hospital.

     England sends us word that our ambassador to that country, Alexander
Notopoulos, is in high disfavor with the royal family. Ambassador Notopoulos
was found carving likenesses of prehistoric animals on the royal thrones.
(tsk! tsk!). Rumor has it that our present ambassador may be replaced by
William Papadeas or Senator Howard Davis.

     The season in our national capital is unusually gay this winter. Plans
for a George Washington ball are now under way. Prominent social leaders,
the Misses Helen Bowles, Ruth Freeman, Patricia McGuire, and Shirley White
are in charge of the affair. Last week at Miss Ruth Anderson's valentine
party the Kelley sisters and the Misses Helen Rhodes and Betty Rich were
especially admired for their Original costumes - they represented Faith,
Hope, Love, and Charity.

     While society is making gay in Washington, the capitol is also teeming
with activity. President Welker has just vetoed the Child Suffrage bill
which was promoted in the house by Senators Paul Griffith and Jane Sitnek.
The controversy over the repeal of the sixteenth amendment is still raging.
Three prominent business and political men who are on the side of repeal are
William E. Burket, hair pin magnate; L. John Swartz, famous Washington
photographer, and the Honorable Charles Montgomery, mayor of New York City.

     There was quite an accident at Cross-Keys this evening. A
Filer-Laubacher transit truck driven by William Crawford crashed into a
Packard sedan driven by Miss Phyllis Hite. Misses Ann Jones, Izora Mangus
and Mary K. Myers were in the wrecked sedan. The drivers of both cars escaped 
without injury, but Miss Jones and Miss Mangus received broken collar bones 
and Miss Myers lost three of her front teeth.

     Taxis and busses have been engaged to transport every pupil to the
Altoona High School, even though he lives but a square away from the school.
Miss Jean Ritter of the High School faculty, the chief promoter of this
movement, was supported by other teachers including Miss Rose Keim, dean of
girls, and Misses Isabel Irvin and Yetta Lichtenstein. The principal, Thomas
Stephenson, opposed the plan, considering the exercise beneficial to the
students.

     The labor trouble clouds seem to be lifting. The Altoona district
street cleaners went back to work yesterday. Led by Charles Vance and Ralph
Gomes, they went on a strike just two months ago. Peace was restored through
the diplomacy of Miss Marion Corbin and Miss Ruth Tobler, two prominent
social workers. A similar strike came to an end last week at the Martinsburg
Zipper factory. The leaders of this disturbance, William McCracken and
Theodore Hildabrand, called the men to work when the company went back to
the three-inch zipper instead of the four-inch one for shirts. 

     There's a big press convention at Newry this week. Famous journalists
from all over the states are there. Miss Jeanne Walker, foreign
correspondent for the New York Times, is to be the speaker this evening.
During the remainder of the week James Shaner and Robert Faulkender,
columnists on the Pittsburgh Press and Philadelphia Inquirer, respectively,
and Robert Isaacson, reporter on the New York Daily Mirror, will address the
journalists.

     Flash . . . . ! The Eppie May dirigible crashed near Newport, a half
hour ago. It is too soon to tell if there were any fatalities, but it is
believed that most of the passengers are safe. Pilot Stanley Patronik
reports that a snow storm was the cause of the disaster. Some well-known
personages were on board, including Sylvia Raab and Miss Jane Grimshaw,
famous dancers returning home from a round-the-world tour; Mrs. Esau
Beldrick, nee Ohlwiler, Hollywood divorcee; and Leonard Hite, New York chief
of police. The hostesses of the ship, Pilot Patronik reports, did good work
in keeping the passengers from doing irrational things in their terror. So
folks, let's give these brave girls a hand-the Misses Elizabeth Hogue, Mary
Mock, Janet Degenhardt, and Jeanne Van Ormer.

     And now, here are several movies that are highly recommended by
seasoned theatre Boers. Roger Blake and Wilma Barr are co-starred in "Hold
That Line." While Joe Brady, red-headed comedian, falls short of his usual
performance, the stars are so good that you overlook Brady's shortcomings.
Another good picture is "Peggie of Pebble Park Road," adapted from the book
of the same title by Dorothy Groban. The cast includes Orville Gray, Helen
Replogle, Ulysses Wharton, and Thebe Robison.

     Oh, by the way, don't forget home town celebrity night. Some well-known
folks, former residents of good old Altoona, have consented to come back for
this one night and give us of their best. An admission will be charged, but
the proceeds will go to the Curtis-Hettler home for friendless cats. Yes,
Bill Batrus will be here with his famous "Punch and Judy" show and that
Silver Slipper Chorus featuring those glorious dancers, Betty Reighard,
Louise Riley, Betty Kepple, and Idamae Saucerman. Of course, Nancy Fowler
will be here to give some musical readings, accompanied by her petite
pianist, Mary Paul. Others who are unable to be present have sent handsome
gifts, ranging from $1.50 to $4.75. Included in this list are Mary J.
Smulling, nurse at Hot Springs; Louise Maguire, inventor of the shavingless
pencil sharpener; the Misses Eleanor Leighty and Genevieve Young of the
Leighty-Young School of Commerce.

     Don't forget that William Schmidt will give his weekly talk on the
"Value of Exercise" tonight at 8:30 o'clock, over this station. Jay
Hoenstine, coach of Northwestern football team, will be his guest star.

     At 9:15, the Harmony Girls, Betty and Winnie Eckels and Lucille Duncan,
will bring you their soft, soothing melodies.

     And now, before Announcer Byron Miller throws a "mike" at me -
good-night!

We Take Our Leave

     The future of our world is in the shell of our hands.  With Life as our
battle cry, we must press forward with high hopes and high ideals.  Success
is ours if we but strive for it.  Facing an era which demands a new style of
living, a new order, we must do our tasks in such a manner that this new age
will be one of worthy achievements.  To our high school classmates let us
say au revoir.
