Hirt 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 Junior Varsity Football Schedule October 6 Jay Vees19HomeSnow Shoe High School 0 October 13 Jay Vees33HomeReplogle High School 0 October 20 Jay Vees26HomeCarrolltown High School0 October 27 Jay Vees28HomeSpangler High School 7 November 4 Jay Vees12HomeLilly High School 12 November 11Jay Vees6 HomeRobertsdale High School7 PattersonLeft End Szuhaj Swab Left Tackle Nelson Klein Left Guard Conrad Daniels Center Bradley Miller Right Guard Conrad Wolfe Right Tackle Chido Lobre Right End Carothers McGregor Quarter Back Sweitzer Smith Left Half Back Rowan McDowell Right Half BackMinelli McMinn Full Back Jones Junior Varsity Squad Paul Morse, Coach Hugh Black, Assistant Coach BACKFIELD BasaitesGorsuch LingenfelterPeters CassarlyGrimshawMcDowell Rowan Crilly Hartzer McGregor Smith Curran Jones McMinn Sweitzer Gilmore Judene Minelli Weidel Kinzle Patterson LINE Boyer Ertle McCloskey Stegmeier Brown GainesMcGee Stiffler Bradley GloverMahoney Swab Casey Hair Miller Swengle Carothers HooverMuccitelliSzuhaj Chido Klein Nelson Waltz Conrad Lewis Parks Wirth ChicarelliLobre Patterson Wolfe Daniels 1934 Basketball LINEUP Ward ForwardHarnish ParsonsForwardHarf Ganz Center Whyte SchmidtGuard Smith Gracey Guard Humphrey SEASON'S RECORD Altoona Opponents 26Alumni 27 33Juniata Frosh 24 38Edgewood School for the Deaf 18 12Ferndale 21 18Westmont 23 18Johnstown 25 31Windber 17 21Williamsport 26 28Portage 26 21Westmont 26 18Ferndale 33 32Portage 10 16Williamsport 9 27Windber 14 _20Johnstown _19 359Totals 318 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. 1934 Junior Varsity Basketball Team Albert J.

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 of Cresson as second. Coaching Staff 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. 1933-1934 Girls' Varsity Hockey Team Right Wing Ina Grace Johnston Right Inside Sara Stere Center Forward Helen Replogle Left Inside Virginia McConnell, Captain Left Wing Eleanor Eichelberger Right Halfback Marjorie Vaughn Center HalfbackMary Jane Smulling Left Halfback Betty Dunmire Right Fullback Marjorie McGirk Left Fullback Margaret Mattas Goal Keeper Phyllis Johns 1934 Girls' Basketball Team Miss Elizabeth K.

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. 1934 BAND Frank Krivsky, Director John Simms, Drum Major BASSES PICCOLOS SAXOPHONES William Acker Joe Fox Bruce Cashner Lee Elden Carl Robinson John DeCarlo Leonard Wertz Walter Horner CLARINETS Robert Lauver TRUMPETS Joe Aveni Wayne Leathers Joseph Alters Charles Bush Charles Lindsey Vincent Black Albert Del Bianco Gerald McCahren James Cramer Raymond Glass Joseph Moffe Robert Filer Orville Gray Robert Rhone George Good Albert Groves Alex Romerowicz Thomas Griffith Joseph Heimel Richard Stouder Roy Heimel Gene Lockard Fred Weyant Ira Irvin Harry Lotz Marko Weyant Robert Kelly Richard Logue Walter Yates Tony Longo John McNamara Clifford Mendler Albert Musto Robert Snyder Mike Nardella BARITONES Walter White George Reimer Michael D'Ageranne Robert Schiffler Henry Good Lewis Smith Alan Mentzer TROMBONES John Venettozi Harold Ammerman Edward Wiesinger John Good ALTO HORNS Earl McKinley SNARE DRUMS Robert Plummer Ralph Palmer Robert Brawley John Pross James Pross Eugene Craine John Rodgers Thomas Hurd Carl Schultz Chester Kennedy BASS DRUMS Walter Stoiber Clayton Smith Donald Helsel William Zern Harry Watson Robert Wilson 1934 Orchestra Frank Krivsky, Director BASSES VIOLINS DRUMS William Acker Helen Maver Don Helsel Lee Elden Hilda Nicholson Tom Hurd William Dent Ruth Heiple Harry Watson Jack Teeter Louis Slutzker Robert Mehaffie Margaret Mattas Robert Brawley CORNETS SAXOPHONES Margaret Douglas George Good John DeCarlo James Haight Roy Heimel Marko Weyant Vivian Jones Clifford Mendler Frances Long Robert Snyder PIANO Ruth Miller Dorothy Yon Kathryn Casner Albert Muri Maude Cooper Anna Nicomede Rita Eisenberg Walter Piotrowski Dorothy Stoudnour Mike Polignone VIOLA John Rupp Marie Stoner FLUTE Lewis Santopietro Joseph Fox Vera Stambaugh William Sweitzer CELLO TROMBONES Jack Tuter Jack Strassler Francis Miller CLARINETS Roy Fornwalt James Pross Albert Grove Robert Stevens Alvin Burley OBOE Joe Heimel Nick Monti BASSOON John McNamara Orville Gray Albert Musto Meryle McMallen FRENCH HORN William Parsons EUPHONIUM James Skillington Marko Weyant Robert Kelley 1934 Boys' Glee Club Howard W.

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! * * * [PHOTO OF HORSESHOE CURVE] High above three glittering pools of blue And nestled close in Allegheny's curve Lies a narrow ribbon cast from iron. Upon it massive engines dip and swerve. 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. * * *
