Taylor, Mr. Ioseph B. Keller, Mr. Lyon nd C Ltlnnan, Mr. D. G. Johnston, Mrs. Sadie R. Kclfcr, Mr. J. A. Ormond. Clairton board of education has seven voting members and a secre- tary, Mrs. Caralena G. Cort. Five of thc seven members have served longer than this year. Mrs. Mary B. Taylor and Mr. T. Harold Thomp- son Were seated at the reorganization meeting in December. They filled the places vacated by Mrs. Cort and Mr. Samuel H. Sharpnack. The board meets regularly on the first Monday evening of each month. The primary aim of the school board is to make the best possible schools for all the youth of Clairton. They give many long hours of their very valuable time in formulating plans which will make their aim a reality. This year, the board of education had a new and different task and a task which we were happy to have them do. They were called upon to reinstate some of our former teachers who had been absent from their classrooms While serving the armed forces of our country. YVe the staff of the 1946 Clairtonian, in behalf of all the members of our class, would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the board of education for all that they have done to make our dreams of happy days at school climaxed by graduation come true. 10 Supf. of Schools As the graduate of our high school comes upon the scene this year, he meets two conditions that did not challenge the graduate of the year previous-in- ternational cooperation to prevent future wars and the use of atomic energy to fashion a better world. These are the new conditions that you face as you leave your high school at this time. Inst how you will meet these problems is a matter for each individual to decide. Your preparation and experience should be sufficient to enable you to deal wisely with the first, but how you meet the second depends largely upon your native intelligence. Ex- perience has taught us that we can adapt ourselves quickly to changes in our environment, but that we have found it more difficult to work out a plan where- by the change comes within ourselves. A trained mind is important but for the immediate future a sound character is even more necessary if we are to carry the overwhelming responsibility of being just a plain American. My earnest wish for each of you is that you will fit yourself some where into this picture so that you will find some degree of satisfaction in doing your part in building the framework of a better world. lffwl Adminisfrafors Dear Pupils: During the long years of the war we have been prom- ising you a brave, new world. Now we are not too sure it is either brave or new. Certainly no one can challenge the individual or group bravery of the American people as it faced the herculean tasks of VVorld YVar H, nor can we deny the existence of a multitude of new things. What is open to question is our post-war bravery in solving the political, social, and economic problems of the world and our unwillingness to accept the unewv as a challenge and a goal. To you who stand on the threshold of active citizen- ship we turn in our dilemma for the leadership we need so badly. In you remains our only hope that true democracy will survive. Upon you rests the hope of Peace-you who purchased it so dearly. Speak up! Now! 11 Ndsnvrafv ,Q ,asa ' Y ff- ' L: . ,,f3,f:,, A, ' V .iv The nmdcst tc-nlplv of wisdmn. v w Xwwn tlw I1-swns :md tasks urv all mnlmd Xml llw sg-lnml for tho day is dismissn Mm x ' L S ' .R w f . 4.

Joan Lesh In September of 1934 we the present seniors of Clairton High, started our educational careers in various elementary schools in this valley. We are re- minded of these first years by Dick and janev readers and clay modeling. One of our first thrills in grade school was caused by our changing to a different room for every class. A YVe entered Junior High with wonderful ideas about having our own lockers. YVe were also relieved to think that on our first report card, there would be no deportment grade. Eighth grade is unforgettable to us due to the tragic war which our country was unable to avoid. From Pearl Harbor on, our daily routine included air raid drills and class discussions of the latest news. Thinking of more pleasant occurrences, we are instantly reminded of our Eighth Grade Party. Ninth grade and we were masters of junior High. For the first time in the history of the school a girl was elected president of the class. The Christmas play was presented and proved to be a success. Our ninth grade party was well attended with everyone having an enjoyable time. Tenth grade and with it Leap Year. The regulars of Clairton met the greenies from XValnut with open arms, as usual. VVe cannot forget this year due to the horrible Duquesne game. XVe were juniors, having as our leaders, the officers which we had elected the previous spring. Our class play included a bookshop, with a bookworm and book characters. The Prom was also sponsored by us and we made sure that it was a success. V. E. Day made this year even more pleasant. At last we were seniors and dominated the halls. Oh, so many things to look forward to-The Baccalaureate Service, Commencement Exercises, Senior Play, and numerous other activities. Inst think, it seems no time at all that we have passed through twelve years of school, each one being more memorable than the last. 27 X.

This time it was i'Spring Greenf, a comedy published by Samuel French. Nina Cassell, the charming mother of two daughters, Tony and Scottie. turned one wing of her rambling house into an apartment to help house the military personnel of a nearhy airfield. She was shocked to find that the officer in charge of construction who moved in was an old suitor, Major Todd. XVith him was his son, Newton, an ahsent-minded and socially awkward hoy with hut one interest in life-the scientific breeding of earthworinsfi How Newtonis passion for his earthworms conflicted with his passion for the prettiest girl in town and how it disrupted his fatheris romance with Nina, formed the plot of the comedy. Actors of the Class of 316. r- 5, The Sfudenf CouncH Our Governing Body The student council-the governing hody of the high school- democratic because it is composed of one boy and one girl representa- tive elected from each home room-the officers are elected from the senior home rooms hy the Whole council body-this yearis president was lim Buser. On Novemher 9, a special assemhly was held to install the ofliccrs of the council. The Ilonorahle R. H. Adams. district attorney, gave a very interesting and Worthwhile address on juvenile delinquency. This organization supervised various phases of student life throughout the school term-selected the hall monitors who :hecked the corridor passes every period-conducted the lost and :ound department, in room 108, Where you could find anything from a wee charm for your bracelet to a golosh to fit a number twelve shoe -sponsored some of our nicest social events on the school calendar, the harvest hall and the Valentine dance-conducted a clean-up cam- paign to which all were suhjected, teachers had their rooms, desks, and cupboards inspected and the students' desks and lockers were carefully examined-supervised the election of class oflicers for the coming year. Miss Van Kirk is the faculty advisor for th student council. Though the time may come for parting, The leadership that We have known XVill take root like a seed once sown, And grow with us, in living. G8 The Senior Council, headed by Justine Perticone and Bob YVise, has shown its school spirit in many ways. Last fall. it was the girls of Senior Council who were instrumental in re- serving a student cheering section at all home games. All members of the council Worked hard to promote the pin and pennant sale. Proceeds from this sale were used for the school. The council sponsored the Harvest Ball, the Christ- mas party, and aided in the Halloween parade. Senior Council The Junior Council Went over the top in everything! Their 'isalesmen with a linea' sold enough Christmas cards to pay all Prom expenses. The Council deserves part credit for helping with the fun and food at the Harvest Ball and Valen- tine Dance. Their really big job-the Iunior Senior Prom- took the most time and work. The festive Mardi Gras decora- tions Were a dream Well Worth a page in your memory scrap- book. 69 ec unior Council Jim Suss, Catherine Rukavina, George Kramer, and Ann Cheek. or 3 Last October, Ann Check was selected to be the editor of the 1946 Clairtonian and George Kramer was appointed assistant editor. Follow- ing these two appointments, members of the staff were given their special assignments. Anna Mae Cheran was asked to plan the pictures and arrange when they should be taken. A glance at this book and one will see that Anna Mae did a very good job. XValter Cooper and Carl For- rester Were chosen to be the sports Writers for the year book. Steele Klingensmith and Ann Check were asked to keep the school calendar. Many of the write-ups in the annual came from the pen of Elwood Croft.

Beat the deadlinelii This is the incentive that makes the Clairtonian News staff tick. lt means cooperation, effort, and sacrifice. lt means getting along with other members of the staff, whether or not you agree with their views or standards and sharing your ability with theirs. It means hard work. There is no room on the newspaper for indolence. Often, it requires that you give up that confiab over at Iohnsonis, or a movie, bowling, or some other activity, for work- ing on your page and fulfilling the position. Wfith these thoughts in mind, the 1945-1946 Clairtonian News staff got under way, under the guidance of Miss Suzanne Phillips, who appointed an editorial board made up of four people: Managing Editor, Jerry Aarons, News Editor, Virginia Lee MacDonald, and Feature Editors, Marilyn Eggers and Gretchen Phillips. The all-important job of Business Manager was held by Billy Jim Comensky. An art staff was also appointed. Cartoons were the compliments of john Zitney, and photographs were taken by Mr. Charles Benack. The Staff There were a few veteran reporters left on the staff, and the new recruits soon took their place beside the more experienced. Developing a nose for and an ear for news came almost naturally to the rookies, but expressing the news in their own words required writing and rewriting. For the veterans. the chief difficulty was meeting the deadlines, and even at times postponing it.

DRUM MAJOR-Nick Yukieh. Not long ago, we were sitting in the stadium with the expectant frenzy of excitement that is common before a football game. Off in the dis- tance could be heard the boom. boom, boom of drums. Here comes the band, someone said. Up the field. it marched to the tempo of the Four Freedomsf' The countermarch halted in front ot the stadium and the 'ispinetinglingv chords of The Star Spangled Banner swelled our hearts. Long will be remembered the star formation to the acccnnpaniment of On the Sunny Side ot the Street and Swinging on a Starf' About November, concert season began in earnest with preparation for the annual concert. Such pleasing pieces as i'March of the Toysf, United Nations llliapsodyfi and i'The Man I Love were played at this concert. Following the concert, the members really got down to Work on the first contest since the war began. Long periods of practice were held. They really slayed over ultuy Blasi' and 'Llolly Robbersf, The man, who made the band success pos- sible, is Mr. Rotili. lle had the patience, sin- cerity. and warmth of spirit that endeared him to all band members. T4 A tap on the music stand and the down- beat is given. The blare of the trumpets, the clash of the cymbols, the roll of the drums, and sweet, melodic tone of the strings mark the beginning of another orchestra practice, one of many which goes on during the entire school year, under the leadership of Mr. Rotili Probably the favorite composition of those who have heard the orchestra perform is the familiar Tchakovsky Piano Concertof, which was played with finesse at the program spon- sored by the Clairton Education Association on March 21. The delicate and airy Ballet Music from Bosamondf' the haunting gypsy overture Hungarian Comedyf, and the stirring Russian Sailors, Danceu also rank among the most well- known and most popular. The betwen-the-acts music, furnished by the orchestra, for the senior play was an oppor- tunity for parents and friends of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who form the orchestra, to hear what Mr. Rotili has accomplished by Work- ing diligently with this group. Alfred Tennyson once said, Lightlier are the moments edged with musicf, which certainly applies well to the moments edged with music by the orchestra. 75 Orchestra Members SENIORS-Domeriic Alexander, jim Buser, Marie Constantino, john Diballa, Pat Dobbins, Martha Jane Donnelly, joe Hall, George Kramer, Marian Kussell, Elsie Maple, Rosemary Monito, Betty Moravity, Janet Pattison, jack Penn, Eugene Scarlato, Eugene Vitorl, Ray Weber, Alfonso Young. jUNIORSfSara Aultman, Gloria Bisogni, Donald Calabria, Elmira Casey, Ben Castor, Hilda Chottinet, lack Davies, Marilyn Eggers, john Ference, Charles Haun.

Clarinet quartet. w l The quartet. l Boy's ensemble. l l Brass sextet. Those E ndearing oung Charms Down through the years, the lower left hall has yielded sounds, some discordant music, some beautifully rich in harmony. Either set led to instrumental groups such as the Brass Sextet, Clarinet Quartet, and String Ensemble. County, district, and state and national cham- pions have originated in this very hall. This same never-tiring cor- ridor has yielded, this past year, music of above average quality. After several changes in participants, the Brass Sextet got down to work. Their debut was made during a choral assembly, when the group played Memories of Stephen F osterf' The students thoroughly enjoyed it, right down from the amusing deep solo of the bass to the articulate variations of the cornet. Blood and sweat began to run when the required number for the forensic contest was received, Days of 649, For a select munber, 66011 the Mountain Topi' was chosen, one of the most beautiful sextet compositions ever Written. The Clarinet Quartet also made their debut in assembly when their bubbling notes and beautiful runs cascaded into the audience to the tune of Casina Capricef, Since that time the group played for several local organizations as their talent became known. The Clarinet Quartet entered the contest with the two numbers Canzonetta and 'iAndante Cantabilef' Their interest in obtaining perfection drew them from their morning slumber to p1'actice before school hours. N o music department would be complete without the rich, mellow, vibrant strings such as the String Ensemble displayed in their line per- formances. The beautiful melodious violin was rounded off by the rich tones of the cello and bass and filled in with altos and violas on a piece such as Ballet Musicf, Their contest numbers consisted of Cos- sack Revelsv and Ariosof, We give recognition of superb ability to those students who fol- lowed through with these traditional groups and kept our halls ringing. 77 Music For Millions Clairtonis grew-some two-somt Girls Chorus These eighty-live girls met four times a Week with Miss Botdorf in the band room. YVorking steadily and industriously, the results they achieved were Well Worth the time and eifort. Donned in black robes, they joined in the singing in the Christmas Cantata. In a spring assembly, they rendered How Merrily We Livef' Good Folkf, and Desert Songf, Mixed Chorus This year the Mixed Chorus grew in quantity as Well as quality in tone. Its eighty voices under the direetion of Miss Jennie Mae Bot- dorf, added a great deal in the Christmas Cantata. In the assembly preview of the Forensic Contest numbers they sang, 'KAII in the April Eveningf, Their rendition ot 'iDark Eyesv proved their true talent. Colored Chorus Although this group met only once a Week, Friday fourth period, in the band room, their QICCOIIIPIISIIIHGHIS were outstanding. Taking a large part in the Christmas program, they sang 'Silent Nightf' It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, and many others. The colored chorus was made up of forty members and under the direction ot Miss Botdort.

At the beginning of the school year, Miss Nixon asked for volunteer student librarians. After several nights of intensive study, the librarians were ready to take over their duties. Each one devoted two periods a week to this work. One period was spent, at the desk, stamping and slipping books. The second period was spent putting hooks in their proper places on the shelves. Our head librarian, Rose Mary Monito, spent extra time helping Miss Nixon with special duties. The reward for being a libraran is a sterling silver pin in the shape of an open book with the torch of learning. Across the pages of the book are the letters C. H. S. This pin is given to a librarian who has served two years or to a senior who has done an exceptionally good job during her last year in school. This year Marie DeChicchis, Blanche Dolfi, Marilyn Lewis, Theresa lane Murray, and Della Rowe received pins. If a senior has already earned her pin she is given a numeral stating the number ot years she has been a librarian. Rose Mary Monito. Gloria Photos, and Edna Mae Fenton received numerals. 80 First How-Cavanaugh, M.

XVe Cheer the Bears. t 't After training for two weeks at Trent, the Clairton Bears embarked on their most disastrous season since 1937. VVith a team built around co- captains Lamendola and Sumpter, the Bears were expected to be feared by all opponents. However, the season was not as successful as planned. Before an opening crowd of 5000 the Bears ran rough-shod over a scrappy Elizabeth eleven to defeat them 24-0. On a rain-drenched field with 3200 fans watching, the fighting Gladiators of Glassport were defeated 13-0. The Bears scored on two touchdown points of 22 and 32 yards by Lamendola and Cooper. The success of this game is credited to the line which limited the opponents to one first down. The team trav- eled to Mon City and eked out a 12-6 win over the XVildcats before 4000 hilarious fans. The team extended its winning streak to four by de- feating its arch rival on their field before 11,000 paid customers by a score of 7-6. Kelleris con- version was the deciding factor in this gruelling contest. ln the best game of the season before a home crowd of 10,000, the Bears suffered their first defeat and were eliminated from the NV.P.l.A.L. race by the Dragons of Donora. For three and one-half quarters the Bears outplayed the uchampsi' but were unable to score because of costly fumbles. Suffering their second straight defeat, the Bears lost to a big Erie East eleven by the score of 153-7. They also lost the services of their great line backer, Sumpter. Lamendolais twisting 53 yard dash for Clairton's only score highlighted the contest. An underdog Charleroi team held the Bears to a draw before more than 7000 fans at the Clairton stadium although they tried desperately to shake out of their slump. A vengeful New Castle team handed the Bears their Worst defeat of the season before 6000 home fans hy a score of 27-7. The Hurricane's line outcharged and outfought the Bearis line throughout the game. In the final game of the season 7000 fans jammed into Duquesnels sta- dium to see Cll1ll'fKJ11,S old jinx Working up again in a 26-6 defeat. lt was a close contest hut the Bears lost control in the last five minutes and the Dukes scored twice.

SUMPTER-the rugged co-captain who has been justly rated one of the best linesmen ever to don the Orange and Black. Ile was an All-Scholastic and XV. P. I. A. L. selection for two years in succession. LAMENDOLA-a swivel-hipped hack who provided the fans with many thrills. Although he didn't reach the peak achieved in his sophomore year, the co-captain's kicking and passing were outstanding. COOPER-a fast and tricky hack whose speed inade him reliable on defense. A stubborn and deter- mined pursuer of the ball carrier. An All-Scholastic selection and an honorable mention for XV.l'.I.A.L. DeMAIO-the Mlittlen field general whose blocking and defensive play was of the highest trait. The ster- ling quality of his 17l'l'lU1'IHilllCl' for two seasons, last year as a guard, and this year as blocking back prove his xersatility. BERNARDI-a seasoned guard who was both efficient and dependable, although hampered by injuries throughout the year. His blocking left little to be desired. KELLER-the fleet-tooted and diminutive halfback whose 135 pounds of spring steel gave valley coaches plenty of headaches. A hard and eamest worker who didnit let size hamper him. CLECYAK-a converted tackle who held down the all- important pivot position. llis tackling brought fear to all opponents, but his sportsmanship was of the highest caliber. KLINCENSBIITH--the slim bustling tackle whose posi- tion brings little glory even on a winning team. Steele always played his best which was plenty. He was an efficient linesinan for two years. -i.. NICKSICII-a small but rugged tackle who constantly improxed as the season progressed. A real work horse who proved to be an inspiration to the team. K me: K -Q 'Q' i ' . WSL 'ix Q KA .M I A - ,.

Mr. Soich was again at the helm, and through the courtesy of Uncle Sam, Mr. Snizik returned in time to take over the assistant coaclfs position. Sparked by Clairtoifs two earls, Vozar and Suniptcr, ma11y of the games were decided in the last periods. 'iltingn Suinpterls short shots were usually the deciding points. Opening the season at home with the Classport Gladiators, the Clairton Cagers won 32-24. This game was followed by wins over Rankin 44-26 and Swissvale 52-21. But a defeat by Wilkinsburg 35-25 stopped our winning streak. Traveling to McKeesport, the Soiclnnen went down to a 39-31 defeat with our team faltering in the second halt. A heart breaker was lost to New Castle. 40-39, in an overtime game which was followed by a slump until Braddock was defeated 38-26. The game that really set the Bear fans howling was the Homestead game. WVith Bernardi clicking on drive in shots and Quattrociocchi on set shots, the Bears scored 8 points to none in the first four minutes of play. But the Champion Steelers came from behind and won 39-25. The Xlunhall game was the best game of the season, with the Bears coming out ahead 40-35. Again the earls, along with Perticone, led the onrush of markers. Sam Ross was very effective at center. A better than average season with better than average players ended with a record better than scores can show.
