A, 0 string l Each of you is a Very Important Person. There is no one on earth exactly like you. You are the sum total of a particular her- edity, all the experiences you have had, all the books you have read, and every dream you have dreamed. Every day someone thinks of you, watches you, and is influenced by you. Your education so for has been designed to make your im- portance constructive and rewarding. All your life your importance will increase, not particularly in prestige perhaps, but in the number of lives you influence. Remember, however, importance may enrich-or de- stroy. You are far more than a birth cer- titicate, a social security number, a line on a pay roll, or a vital statistic. You are a Very Important Person. l Senio They WDM ,O kn ow 'he scor 9 r assigfqnce f or C' iUl'liOr m iss 127 -145 128-134 135-138 140- 144- 139 141 142 143 146 147 .,.Q,:, :Q s- M.i"t,Q '.k:f ' QW? wir-QQ gg E xc' isle, ,V i Iuvesllgollug mysfe-ry of llghl 'l1y'llJ lt takes all kinds of people and it's a little world, but.it's all ours and we like it.

HAROLD MARCH President Mr. John Hill Mr. George Kensinger ,, 5 0 Mr, Ernest Dejaiffe Mr. Norman Ernest Boa rd of Education The Board of School Directors of the city of Altoona, who are elected by the voters and who serve without pay, this year chose a woman, Mrs. Harold March, as president of the board for the first time. These nine board members are respon- sible for forming local policies for school operation under the school laws of Penn- sylvania. ln carrying out their duties they control a 53,850,000 yearly budget and 670 employees with a 52,650,000 payroll. Through astute management and intelli- gent control Altoona now has adequate educational facilities for all local students and the lowest indebtedness of any com- parable district in this state. Mr. Frank Marsh Mrs. Eleanor Maurer Mr. Paul Reynolds Mr. Roy Thompson ,ov 10 To the Class of '57 Recently I have observed a national consciousness of the need for conservation of our natural resources with which God has so abundantly blessed our nation. Along with this awareness comes a reali- zation that our youth constitutes our most precious natural resource. This human resource is also being wasted in that individuals are not utilizing their greatest potential abilities and apti- tudes. In this time of critical need for trained manpower, I earnestly pray that each of you in the Class of 1957 will have the vision, the wisdom, the courage to con- tinue to fully develop and wisely use every talent with which you are endowed. MR. JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS Principal ,Xxxlxlnul ltr im ilml Everything you have learned in the Altoona Senior High School will become an instrument of power because you know its use. You have learned to think, to inquire, to act, and to evaluate. You have learned to work with other people. You have learned to be confident and able. You should have learned your goal and to guide yourself accordingly. Remember, if you are to find rewarding satisfaction in your work and if your life is to be purpose- ful, rich, and of high achievement, you must continue to be a learning, growing person. E X , . twists nlml A national sales manager ofa large cor- poration stated recently that his iob was to "energize people," to stimulate people to their best efforts. Here we try to energize our students by teaching them that the nec- essary ingredients for success are vision, courage, and faith-vision to see oppor- tunities, courage to work and struggle for worthwhile ends, and unbounded faith that the things we believe in and strive for will ultimately succeed. We sincerely hope that you have ac- quired a broad vision and are developing to the utmost your abilities and capacities. We trust you will move with resolution and insight toward a worthwhile goal. Best wishes for your success. MR. EDGAR J. BROOKS Assistant Principal Qnpafz Zllvada, . 'X v 25 7 Y cc F c ., ' A ii ' ANNE G. EIFLER Cafeteria Director HUGH G. BLACK RUBY K.

Assisted by a reader and an organist, they presented "The Christmas Story in Song and Word" for both assembly groups December 22. They took part in the Blair County Youth Rally at the First Lutheran Church, and members of the group were the mainstay of the annual show, "Plain and Fancy" March 29. The senior octet and sextet, who some- times sing forthe public four times a week, are selected from this group.

The Altoona High School orchestra has always maintained a high standard of technical perfection and is one of the finest school orchestras in the state. Not only does it have very excellent instrumentalists but it also has full instrumentation, a situa- tion which is very unusual to find in a high school group. Who's on first bass? I 1 I f f MISS DOROTHY M:GREGOR I 971: Miss McGregor's sixth and seventh per- iod classes comprise a choral group that is not so well known as the other choruses, but which makes up for its lack of publicity and outside recitals by having a lot of fun in iust singing. Approximately eighty boys and girls experimented daily with harmonies and part singing, filling the third floor hall with melody, the more modern sweet songs being the distinguishing feature of this group. Among the well-liked songs in their repertoire were "Carnival Suite," "On the Street Where You Live," "Young at Heart," "Green Cathedral," "Flower of Dreams," "Morning," "Count Your Blessings," "Thum- belina," and "Evening Song." Most of the members of this group par- ticipated in the annual show and in various assembly programs.

This year a group of one hundred and seven girls, comprised of students from Mr. Bohn's fifth, sixth, and seventh chorus per- iods, visited"'various churches in the city and presented a program of sacred music for the evening services.

Dealing with the trials and tribulations of a high school teacher who is trying to stage a student play, the comedy gave Connie Adler and Walter Dickey fre- quent opportunities to bring down the house as school teachers. Miss Levan di' rected the show and Dave Kimmel was pro- duction manager. Paul Winter directed the orchestra. On March 29 the Annual show, "PIain and Fancy" played to a capacity Roosevelt house. Catchy tunes and good comedy with a Pennsylvania Dutch background were put over successfully by a cast from the choruses, with music by the school cr- chestra.

Wimmer, the Junior Academy of Science continued its investi- gations into interesting phases of science with a varied program during 1956-57. In addition to regular meetings, this group made a field trip to the Tyrone Paper Mill and participated in the Indiana State Science Fair as highlights for the year's activities. As a special feature, Mr. Earl Haverstick, as guest speaker, gave a talk on opportunities in science at the January 9 meeting. Jufww J Sponsored by Mr. Timothy Roberts and pre- sided over by James Herdman, the members of the 1956-57 Future Teachers of America Club in- vestigated the features of teaching as a career. The future teachers planned to visit several of the State Teachers Colleges to get an idea of col- lege life. Four student teachers talked to the group about Indiana State Teachers College. The club also sponsored two dances on two Fridays when no game was scheduled. Jw. cw The Key Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Altoona, is one of the newest and most active organizations. The club's activities this year included: sophomore visitations, a scroll for Dr, Salk, bus trips to the away games, a Sno-Ball dance for the benefit of the Hungarian refugees, Crusade for Freedom participation, a suggestion box for better school proiects, and two chicken barbeques for their club sponsors. 115 Klub They Gather Together For Experience And Recreation The stars and the supporting cast Picture of a loading crew in action They momentarily revert to type 601242 67141 The College Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Timothy Roberts, is on organization whose aim it is to better prepare Altoona High School students for higher education. The membership consists of seniors who are taking the college preparatory course, this year numbering about 160. This club makes available to the students a wealth of information about various colleges through films, talks given by guest speakers, pamphlets, etc. Some of the services the club renders are to advise the members as to the entrance require- ments of certain colleges, the scholarships avail- able in each field, the courses of study otifered by the colleges, and the degrees received upon completion of these courses. The dates and lo- cations ot the College Board Entrance Examina- tions are published for the members of the club also. One of the branches of the College Club, the Scholarship Committee, has as its goal the presentation of scholarships to deserving pupils. This committee, headed by Mrs. Ruby Crumm and Dr. Hugh Black has a file ot all scholarships available to Altoona students. Form letters are distributed to the members ofthe club to be sent to the director of admissions at a particular col- lege in order to facilitate the obtaining of col- lege catalogues and bulletins. The club also olifers its members the oppor- tunity of taking the American Council on Edu- cation's Psychological Test. The purpose of this examination is to give the students an idea of how they stand in a percentile rating for college entrance. 116 COLLEGE CLUB A-J First Row: Egan, Hughes, Adler, Cornran, Fillvr, Halpern, Getz, Clopper, Hunt, Dunn, Durio, Grobill.

It is sponsored by Mr. Archie Um- stead, assisted by Miss Marie Lauver. The or- ganization seeks to stimulate interest in good fellowship, in better driving attitudes, and in community driving problems. With mounting accident tolls in the news every day an organi- zation like the Car-Teens is encouraging. Inci- dentally, boys who complete the course success- fully receive a discount on their automobile acci- dent insurance rates. The group holds its meetings each month at the high school. During the business session, safety movies, speakers, or panel discussions are presented. A social hour with refreshments usually ends the evening. Each year the club goes on a carol sing to the hospitals and to Valley View Home. "Come back next year" has always been the response. This year the club elected as officers Marshall Lacroce, president, Joanna Bruno, vice-presi- dent, William Sauserman, treasurer, Alex Gib- boney, assistant treasurer, Pat Civiello, secre- tary, and Barbara Ellen Pegg, publicity manager.

D 4 -A Klub And Together They Render Service Unto Others ummm' gm The Ushers' Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Marie Lauver, is composed of some sixty junior and senior girls who serve as ushers for the varied and many AHS functions. Wearing either maroon or white caps, these pleasant young women helped to seat fans and gave out programs at all home football games. In addi- tion, they ushered for the Language Department play, the annual show, and the Altoona Choral Society's annual presentation of Handel's "Mes- siah." The girls were particularly attractive in their evening gowns, assisting at both the orches- tra and band concerts. In traditional white at- tire, the girls presented programs and conducted people to their places at Baccalaureate and Com- mencement, and then formed a guard of honor for the exit of the graduates. New candidates for the group are nomin- ated and elected in the spring by club members. The girls are captained by Connie Adler and Doretta Ruggles. Lieutenants are Patty Jaggard and Beth Kerns, who will automatically become captains next year. Whmnm' HMM, Mrs. Harbaugh's Nurses' Aides constitute a club that truly render service. These fifty sen- iors, who are enlisted from bacteriology class-es, serve at least eighty hours each working at the Altoona Hospital as nurses' assistants. All vol- unteers, these girls in their yellow smacks per- form necessary tasks in the various wards to lighten the burden ofthe regular nurses and pick up valuable information on aseptic practices and hospital routine. 123 Car-Teens deliver Christmas packages What would you do in this case?

They received vocational aptitude tests and counselling for the best work careers avail- able to each. This preparation for an oc- cupation was then followed by actual iob training in the various business and indus- tries of Altoona. Thus each pupil had training, received working experience, and has recommendations for full-time employ- ment.

A .. ,s...s..4.. - - A ., Three Losses, And Three Ties Encountering three new teams this year, the Altoona High Mountain Lions finished their 1956 season with a respectable rec- ord of four wins, three losses, and three ties, with the three tie games representing a record for AHS fcotball teams. The 1956 edition of the Mountain Lions was loaded with talent. Tackle Wayne Nail was named to a first string All-State team while end Frank Ammer and quarter- back Jim Swanner received second team recognition. The annual Joseph F. Cohen Blanket Award went to Michael Wherry, a halfback. The Lions opened their season with a smashing 32-6 victory over DuBois and fol- lowed that game with a hard-earned 14-0 triumph over Windber. In both games, the aerial pyrotechnics of Swanner and Am- mer proved poison to the opponents. Coach Earl Strohm's crew wasted no time in trouncing Westinghouse, 33-O, by racking up a touchdown during the first 30 seconds of the game. This win set the Lions record at 3-O.

Q I 5 u x v n U 5 F sl I Appearing to be invincible, the Moun- tain Lions received their first setback of the season when Duquesne upset them, 12-6, in the first W.P.l.A.L. game for the Lions. Altoona High's adventure in the W.P.l. A.L. continued to be an unhappy one. Play- ing against Har-Brack fcr the first time, they fought to a 7-7 deadlock. Two touchdowns in the last minute and three seconds of play chalked up another win for the Lions against Latrobe. Faced with their second deadlock near the end of the game, Altoona's Wherry and Ralph McGirk scored rapidly for a 26-13 victory. ln the seventh game Allentown's Can- aries unleashed a sharp aerial attack which kept Altoona High off balance all evening. They gave the Lions their worst defeat of the season, 32-0. The annual Johnstown-Altoona clash was played during a steady downpour of rain with the Lions coming from behind to tie the Troians at 13-13. With a minute and a half to go in the game, Bob Calise recovered a Johnstown fumble on the Tro- ian's 15-yard line. With 58 seconds re- maining, the score came when Swanner passed to Wherry, who was in the end zone. Wayne Nail's extra point try was wide to the right. The possessor for 1956 of the coveted Silver Scoop, the symbol of football supremacy between AHS, Johns- town, and Windber, was to be decided upon the outcome of this game. Since it ended in a tie, Johnstown was awarded the trophy because of its better record. Again playing in the mud against McKeesport, the Mountain Lions let an early 21-0 slip from their hands, settling for a 21-21 tie. ln the season's finale against Williams- port, the Lions were unable to mar Wil- liamsport's excellent record and were de- feated, 14-7.

The Little Mountain Lions coached by Byron Ashburn played against varsity players and "B" squads. "B" squads are made up of boys who did not play in the varsity games. ' Saxton started the season on a sour note, upending the locals T4-6. With the Windber game cancelled, the AHS Juniors met with another loss to Williamsport T9-7. ln the third campaign the Bedford Coun- tians and the baby Mountain Lions battled to a 7-7 deadlock. Losses were suffered at the hands of Johnstown 'I9-T4 and at the hands of Chief Logan in the final tilt of the season 27-19. A change of luck for the AHS Juniors was winning over North Cambria, 21-0. A 'I3-7 shellacking of Hollidaysburg gave the locals their final victory of the season. THEY WORKED HARD, TOO Left to Right: Trainer Jim O'Donnell, Jayvee Coaches Jack Hopper, Byron Ashburn.

Thus Altoona High's cheerleading group, under the direction of Miss Dorothy McGregor, inspired enthusiasm among our fans throughout the 'football and basketball season. After spring try-outs, ten lassies were se- lected to serve with this peppy group, with three other girls chosen to serve as substitutes. Prac- tice to put across their repertoire of some 25 cheers began the last week of August. Six new cheers were added to the collection, among them the popular "Hello Cheer," "Roar Lions," "Ma- YPA W We X X 4 t roon and White, Fight, Fight," "Come on Through," and "We've Got a Team." Chosen cn the basis of their citizenship, scholarship, and personality factors, the pepster squad was always "right on the iob" when it came to backing our sports teams in their com- petitions with other schools. These morale boos- ters with their maroon and white skirts, white blouses and sweaters, and maroon and white saddle shoes and socks were always a welcome sight at AHS contests. .Wfx -wt. X. we f f.

With a finish to a brilliant ten-year head coaching position and the conclusion of the 1956 season, Coach Paul Adams and the Altoona High track team shared top honors for a job well done. Coach Adams completed twenty-eight years in track coaching here and at Hamburg, Pennsyl- vania. He also served as assistant football coach in 1936 at Altoona. ln the 1956 campaign the Lions won the Dis- trict 6, West Central Coaches and Pitt Center meets. They were second in the W.P.l.A.L. re- lays, and fourth in the Tri-State meet. ln the cm- nual Coaches' relays, Altoona came out on top. ln 1956, the half-mile relay team set a new record every time they ran. This team broke the 440 relay record which was held by Mt. Lebanon since 1940. The 880 relay record was also broken this year. Captain Bob Wherry set a new high when he ran the half-mile in one minute 58 seconds. 1956 ALTOONA HIGH TRACK SQUAD First Row: Prindible, Wicker, Ward, Ferguson, Plowman, Wherry, Szeyller, DeAngelis, Stoner, Clinger, Livermore fmanagerl.

P-'-P-23.1 , Compiling a brilliant season's record of ten victories in twelve contests, Coach Hugh Black's 1956 Elephant nine posted its best mark in re- cent years. Opening the campaign with easy wins over B.C.l. and Cresson the Blackmen ran into unex- pected trouble when Hollidaysburg eked out a 9-8 decision and then Johnstown clubbed the lo- cals into submission, 8-2. The following week, however, AHS resumed its victory march by outlasting the Mercersburg Academy nine on its own field and went on to close out the season with eight straight triumphs. Included among these were double victories over Windber and Clearfield with single wins over Indiana, Tyrone, and Huntingdon. Spark plugs in a year in which hitting seemed to predominate over pitching were Earl Clouser, Tommy Lane, and Dick Rcimey with the stick, while Bill Socey and Clouser led the mound statt. 142 Altoona High's inaugural five-match venture into the realm of scholastic wrest- ling proved to be unsuccessful in gaining victories but valuable in experience learned. The first three matches of the season re- sulted in easy wins for the opponents of AHS. Everett topped Altoona twice, 38-12 and 38-8, while Cresson won the other match handily, 39-17. The final two matches of the year were with the undefeated Hollidaysburg iunior varsity. ln the first match the Tigers won, 30-15, but in the second encounter Altoona was leading until the last event, losing the match finally by the score 24-20 . 1956 ALTOONA HIGH WRESTLING SQUAD Clyde Reiter in an effort to pin Hollidaysburg wrestler First Row: Cutshall Cmanagerl, Burk, Lacroce, Reiter, Howsare, Oswalt, Mumaugh, Lemme, Hermanski, Fawkes, DeAnthony.

Six teams, two each on Monday, Tues- day, and Wednesday nights played a series of elimination games until the finals on March 6. ln the final championship game room T07 took the school title from room 328 by a score of 44-20. Over 300 boys representing 43 home rooms participated in this annual program. The intra- murals are open to any sophomore, iunior, or senior boy, except varsity and junior varsity players. An average of more than T00 boys played each night. Besides the basketball pro- gram the directors also supervise basketball foul shooting and table tennis tournaments. This cage program, in addition to develop- ing a sense of team work, alertness, leadership, and sportsmanship, affords all interested boys In the school an opportunity to be active in ath- letics.

The Lions, however, did gain some ven- geance from an earlier defeat by State Col- lege by finishing before the Central Penn- sylvania Harriers in the District 6 meet. Altoona was beaten by State College, 19- 36, in the first meet of the year for both teams. The most consistent runner for the Lions this year was Terry Colbert, who took first for Altoona in four matches. Pat Wherry and Paul Faris also came home first for AHS.
