Long have we taken for granted the benefits received because of our Industry. More than we realize-our pulse beat is that of the mill. We have known the slack periods and felt the accelera- tion of full steam ahead! All the vicissitudes of mill life are part of our home and school life. Pay day is Gala Day. As we made our tour of the mill last fall, we were brought to realize the unity between our school and mill. Heavy taxes support our well- equipped high school. Our shop program prepares boys to qualify for the iobs they desire. The greater portion of our homes are supported by mill work. Even school people are engaged in remunerative off-time iobs to the extent that they can be accommodated. As we stop to consider how closely we are allied as learners and I workers-may we say a big Thank You ' to our friends of the Mill and pledge an even finer co-operation in the future.

The Carnegie-Illinois Steel Works of which Mr. Hobart Seyler is the general superintendent is a monument to engineering achievement. lt has 5 blast furnaces, i2 open hearth furnaces, blooming mill, and finishing mill. The chief products of the finish- ing mills are angles, bars, and miscellaneous small shapes. Clairton has the largest by-product coke oven plant in the world. It is located on the west bank of the Monongahela river entirely within our city limits about fifty miles from the coal fields that supply this mammoth enterprise. The works consist of 22 batteries of ovens or a total of T482 ovens, together with all the necessary equipment for the extraction and recovery of the valu- able by-products from the carbonization of coal.

D. TEAL Superintendent of Schools, Mr. H. D. Teal is known to all students as a hard worker, genu- inely interested in the students welfare. Mr. Teal has been with Clairton Public Schools for 17 years. Through this time Mr. Teal has been the guiding hand in 17 years of progress-in growth of our schools, in changes in education, and broader fields of learning. Mr. Teal holds an A. B. degree from Defiance College and a M. A. degree from Ohio State Uni- versity. Even though the position of Superintendent is a busy one and requiring the majority of his time, Mr. Teal is very active in the community. He represents Clairton Schools on the Rotary Club. He is an excellent bowler as attested by his averages compiled in the teacher's league. In the summer, Mr. Teal spends much of his time playing golf. Learning the student's needs and problems and meeting them is one task of Mr. Teal. We can say that he has more ably met them from our comfortable stay at C H S. - rincayoa DR. EVERT F. STABLER As the commencement for our class draws near, begin to appreciate more than ever before how much we are indebted to our principal and advisor, Dr. Evert F. Stabler, whose high ideals and sterling charac- ter have been an inspiration and a guide to us throughout our three years of high school life. His untiring interest, sympathy, and wisdom have helped to prepare us for the difficult problems we must face in the future. Our schools' standard of efficiency is due almost entirely to his unceasing toil and patient perse- verance. His deep personal interest in us as students has won our respect and love. Dr. Stabler is well qualified for his position as the head of our Senior High School. He has a Litt. B. from Grove City College and an Ed. M. and a Ph. D. from the University of Pittsburgh. Be became principal of our high school in i938. ' The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. --Wordsworth. Clairton-lan K Mu Aww PES AS!! ROW 1 Arnett, D.

In the electric shop motor control is studied. Shop work offers a clear and direct way of learning. We work and learn together. It offers a practical and thorough education for our industrial age.

These classes form a foundation upon which a more advanced education can be constructed. Many of our graduates, trained in science and mathematics, have found their occupa- tions in Clairton. The student of today is taught world coopera- tion through science, but science alone is not sufficient, he must know the methods and bases upon which scientific problems are solved. Clairfonian - 20 The English and Social Studies courses play an important part in our education. With emphasis put on vocabulary build- ing, grammar, and creative writing, the English course prepares the student for a more abundant life as he learns how to express himself. Many of our students look forward to college, writing and teaching. Social Studies outline the history of our government, explain the rights and privileges of each citizen, and teach us the American way of living in peace with our neighbors. nggd an ociaf .gilvzjied l Miss Davis' English class.

When one realizes that you can board a plane in London 0l!1f1,lf1!1,glf'CL6'f, and sixteen or seventeen hours later step off in New York, we must admit that the world is growing smaller. We no longer have far distant foreign neighbors. Many folk, who speak a Ollfl, language strange to us, do daily business with us-thus the need for studying languages other than our own, and learning how to do business in a successful way. Our language and commer- cial departments are meeting the needs of the youth to live in this new world. Miss Maloy's Spanish class. Secretarial Practice class. Business Math class.

Whether your life-long ambition is to become a Lauritz Melchoir, a Koussevitsky, or a Salvador Dali, you'll find a good beginning at CHS. A student can gain much musical knowledge under the mas- terful guidance of Mr. Rotili, our band and orchestra leader. Miss Botdorf's direction provides a foundation on which much can be built if one is interested in the vocal and choral fields of music. Where art is concerned, what finer experience could a student find than the fundamentals carefully taught by Miss Pitcairn? CHS does offer excellent fine-arts backgrounds, if they are used advantageously. Clairtonian - 23 UA, ine ,zach Water will not shrink them.

Proof of this fact may be gained, at any time, by walking by a Gym class or the swimming pool and listening to the laughter. Nevertheless fun is the secondary mo- tive for the classes-the real purpose is to keep the students physically fit. Our well equipped department cares for our stu- dents physical needs by requiring each student to carry one period each week of Gym, swimming, and health. A Clairtonian -- 24 This is your cafeteria.

Elsie Warhol Treasurer Gail Wesley me cgznior CALM One day in September of 1935, we, the Senior Class started on the road to education. Throughout our grade school years we looked ahead from year to year, but about the sixth or seventh grades our main objective turned to high school and even to the day we would become seniors. We will never forget our first parties and all the little memories that enkdear the lower grades to us. At last that long-awaited day arrived, when the bewildered Freshmen of Clairton and Walnut Junior High Schools entered the halls of Senior High School as Sophomores. Proudly we donned the air of the Wise Fools only to have our spirits dampened by the fact that we were to become the butt of iokes by our upper classmen. This proved memorable with a fairly good year in sports, something new came along in the form of an Operetta, also those first Senior High par- ties will long live in our memories. As a Junior class we became organized, with Bill Kramer as our President, Gretchen Phillips, Vice-President, Elsie Warhol, Secretary and Wilma Dickson, Treasurer. The Junior Coun- cil collaborated with the Senior and Student Councils to make the dances and parties a suc- cess. The Junior Prom became the big event, with everyone working hard selling Christmas Cards, decorating, and making ready for the Dream Ball . During the year we macle a hit with our class play, Do You Believe in Luck , a comedy in one act. For the first time we had a baseball team at CHS. lt was nice seeing a lot of familiar faces around again with the return of a lot of our teachers and a few vets. Finally that day arrived . . . we were Sen- iors, those privileged people who get to sit front and center at assemblies. Our class leaders were Dominic Quattro, President, Bob McCormley, Vice-President, Elsie Warhol, Secretary and Gail Wesley, Treasurer. We had a lot to look forward to. There was Baccalaureate Service, Class Night, the Class Play, and last but not least . . . Commencement. When we look back it doesn't seem possible that twelve happy years could have slipped by so rapidly in dear old Clairton. Clairtonian - 27 if l T l i .

Trouble-when Boy Muts Family Hilda in distress. The crisis of Spring Fever. Work-work-work, till the brain begins to swim. Or should it be, Rehearse--rehearse-rehearse. With a great deal of work and rehearsing, the senior class, this year, produced two plays. The first was Galahad Jones, in which a young lad, Galahad, was an enthused admirer of King Arthur. Trying to be a knight, Galahan found himself on unfriendly terms with a gangster, Olaf Jensen. The development and climax of this feud formed the plot of the comedy. College commencement was portrayed by the second play. A biological student, Howard Brant, was not to graduate because of a theme. However, his aunt, Maude Corey, came and paved the way for his graduation. These two performances provided the seniors with remem- brances of their senior year and a mature outlook on the world of today. Clairtonian - 68 3 ,.f bf 5 .P Pima.

I I 1 ,giLlfw!enIf Gufufwi The Student Council, being the governing body of the High School is composed of two stu- dents from each room, who elect the officers to govern the council. The council trains its mem- bers to analyze problems arising in the school. The body meets once every two weeks, regularly, and any special meeting that may be called at the request of some student or sponsor. The Student Council is urged to realize the power in its hands and how to use that power most intelligently. They have supervised various phases of student lite throughout the school term. One of the first things the Student Council acted upon, was to station hall monitors throughout the High School. Working with the other two councils, they helped sponsor several dances. The Student Council also kept things orderly in the cafeteria when the students visited here from other schools during the Music Festival. Putting over several clean-up drives, they have tried to keep our school clean. They have also approved several Charters for clubs, which is purely a Stu- dent Council duty throughout the School Consti- tution. All of these activities would not have been a success without the guidance of Miss Van Kirk, the council's advisor.

The otificers include President, Vice Presi- dent, Secretary, and Treasurer, who are elected by the class in their sophomore year. They are nominated by petition and then voted upon. The job of the Junior Council is to manage the business of the iunior class. In previous years their most important task was to sponsor, plan and raise money for the prom, but this year that job has been turned over to the Senior and Student Councils with the Junior Council pre- siding.

Labor unrest and strikes in the early part of the year forced the staff to double their eFForts to achieve their goal. Headed by Elsie Warhol and Tom Kelso, the busi- ness statT worked untiringly to secure enough sales to meet expenses. To start the sales campaign, Buddy Teets wrote a skit, given in assembly. The mill and school were incorporated in this year's annual. Special emphasis were placed on pic- tures, which, thanks to Benack's, were excellent and in over-abundance. Tom Bucar, editor, and Marilyn Eggers, assistant editor, largely planned the pictures-what they would be, when they would be taken, and where they would go. There was always the endless task of writing and rewriting materials for the book. Ed Hammett, Wilma Dickson, and Jane Carner did the excellent art work. Sports were written by Gilbert Mains and Bill Sacco. Margaret Nutt, Margaret Sovick, Jean Farrell and Joann Christy did the senior pages. Their special ioy was to find a student who had no hobby, no ambition and no activities! Typist Emma Zeh and Madeline Di Nardo worked long and faithfully, often typing late after school.

Those were instructions heard over and over during formation drill. As a result of con- stant urging and practice, our band completed one of its most successful seasons. Some of the intricate maneuvers we performed were such formations as a Bubble Pipe , Bell , a double line revolving l7 and also D , and last but least performed before the public eye, our iinx, the anvil. Since most of our seasoned veterans of last year's Forensic contests remained with us, we were not only able to build an excellent marching band but also an excellent concert band as well. The annual concert was very successful topped off with Toy Trumpet , a trumpet solo, and Long Ago , a fantasa for solo clarinet. The two solos were perfect examples of the talent abounding in the music circles of C. H. S. We are proud to have such a fine director as Mr. Rotilio, who is able to weld these talents together so well as to produce an organization as wonderful as our band. Our maiorettes for this year were Doris Tompkins, Audrey Lang, Audrey Graham, and Norma DeFran- cisco, with Jackie Mullen as mascot and Bill Siler as drum maior.

Here they practiced old and new numbers, until they could play them to make them sound as they should. Under the experienced hand of Mr. Rotili, the forty pupils combined their efforts to form a well-balanced orchestra. Mr. Rotili's' patience was a deciding tactor in helping the orchestra master the harder musical scores. The most important section, the strings, practiced three days a week-Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. lor, J. Hahn, C., Tillman, D The music that the orchestra played was mostly classical-sym- phonies, tinales, concertos. One of the difficult numbers was the Finale from Symphony Number 4 . Favorites from Victor Herbert's music and Roumanian Fantasy were two other enioyables. The orchestra made several public appearances during the year. They played for assemblies, tor the tirst and second senior play, in the musical concert for concert week. They played the prelude and reces- sional for Baccalaureate, and accompanied the choruses in Ballad for Americans at commencement. Clairtonian - 76 Row l.

The mixed chorus by much hard work with fun intermingled has been able to participate in many activities. They have entertained the student body with several assemblies. During the Christmas season they, together with the other choruses, presented the annual candlelight service. At a special assembly, used as a pre- view of the Southwestern Chorus Festival, the mixed chorus presented a folk tune Cindy , and a hymn, Psalm One Hundred Fifty . Many of the chorus members attended the Southwestern Chorus Festival. Did you maybe have the feeling that the girls' chorus was dull and uninteresting? Yes it is true we have to work--but with that work are included lots of good times. We found that mastication of chewing gum and choral singing do not belong together-Remember? There was a real thrill in the practice for the Christmas Candle Light Service-the sweetness of the music and beauty of the occasion just did something for us. Frequently, during the year we sang in assembly. Then as a high mark of our achievement, some of our best were selected to sing in the Choral Festival. In all these occa- sions, Miss Botdorf was a splendid leader.

News is dug up, assignments are given out to reporters, arrangements are made for pic- tures, people are interviewed, and rough drafts of the pages are drawn.

Character, scholarship, leadership, service-these are the qualities that gain one membership to the National Honor Society. This year the Honor Society is sponsored by Miss Maloy, and has twenty-two members. Under the leadership of president, Thomas Bucar, vice-president, Gretchen Phillips, secretary, Lena Defelice, and treasurer, Grace Pungitore, the organiza- tion presented an assembly on January 24. lt featured Miss Olga Rukavina, former CHS graduate, who was a representative to the World Youth Conference held in Switzerland. Her interesting address, My Impression of Student Condi- tions Abroad was both interesting and helpful. An etiquette drive, held during February, was a campaign to improve the manners of the students. The first week of the drive concerned school eitquette. Posters reminding pupils to remove their hats, open doors for faculty members, and keep to the right in the halls, were placed in the corridors. The second week placed emphasis on table manners. Members of the Honor Society were assigned rooms in which to give speeches and demonstrations of correct table etiquette. Proper use of utensils, position at the table, use of the napkin, and dinner conver- sation were stressed. During the third week, which dealt with street etiquette, six questions were written on the blackboard in every room. Some sample ques- tions were: CU Who goes down the theatre isle first? and KZJ Who gets off the bus first, the lady or the gentleman?

You must give two study periods a week for library work, one during which you will work on the shelves and the other at the desk. These final words spoken by Miss Nixon are the ones that seal your fate as a librarian, but it is not as bad as all that, in fact-we like it. Marking books, putting them on the shelves, preparing them for circulation and filing catalogue cards is not all a librarian does. At the after school parties, the larger evening parties or on our long Sunday hikes, you would never recognize the so-called bookworms of the library. They can and do let their long hair down for a swell time with Miss Nixon and the library crowd joining right in. For two years of work well done as a librarian the reward is a sterling pin in the form of an open book lying across the torch of learning. A hard working Senior that has already earned his pin is given a numeral, bearing the year of his graduation. Each year Miss Nixon picks from among her Senior librarians one whom she appoints head librarian. This student takes care of the circulation book and several other extra duties. This year Della Rowe has held this position. Miss Nixon's staff of librarians can boast of a iob well done and a record of honesty, capability and dependability.

Trailing 13:0 at the half, the Bears returned to tie Canonsburg cmd iust missed winning when the try for the extra point was blocked. The Bears lost their first game to a lighter but faster Glassport team. Arnold provided Clairton's only score when he romped 98 yards. ln their first W. P. l.A. L. game, Clairton was eliminated by Monongahela. Behind by six points, the Mon-City team fought to score two touchdowns and a hard-earned victory. Due to an electric power strike, the McKeesport game was post- poned to a bright Saturday afternoon. Clairton lost by four touch- downs. The first asay game ended in another defeat for the Bears Clairton's line play showed marked improvement but was unable to battle Donora's attack which netted twenty-five points. Two lightning thrusts, in the first quarter which netted Elwood City two touchdowns, were the only scores of the game. Their attack functioning better than at any other time during the season, Clairton outplayed, outmaneuvered, and outmanned the Charleroi Congars , but could not outscore them. The game ended in a scoreless tie. A dynamic New Castle squad exploded all over the field to gain a 32-O win over the Bears. The punting of Kovalyak was the outstanding feature of the game. The Duquesne iinx continues as the Dukes downed Clairton 32-6. The game was marked by long gains through the efforts of Duquesne's passing attack. Clairtonian - 88 EMM! Af CALS?

Webb-spark plug on the squad, a speedy, cool, and heady player, a fond lover of the game. Glenn-a heady and capable ball handler. His services early in the campaign might have meant a different season. Manns-captain, tough, capable and reliable, voted all valley conference tackle, an iniured leg hindered his play for the early part of season and handicapped his chances for greater laurels.

Perryfmaster of the 880 yard dash, experienced ball totter for three years, lover the bucking back position.

Good Shot ni 1 i 1 1 Clairtonian - 92 Zlycwlelfdaf ln the season's first game, the Bears disposed of a scrappy Glassport team with little difficulty. One week later, the Bears defeated the highly-touted McKeesport Tigers in a thrilling game. After three closely contested quarters, Clairton pulled away from their old rivals in the final stanza. The Bears swamped Mon City. Jumping off to an early lead, they were never extended by the up-river quintet. In their first league fray, the Bears easily defeated Penn High. After the varsity had romped to a 44-29 lead, Coach Soich sent in the second string to finish up the iob. League victory number three came by virtue of a sound thumping handed to Scott High. By setting a fast pace in the initial quarter and keeping it up, the Bears outscored the fast-breaking, rough-fighting Scott quintet. After a defeat on Swissvale fioor, our boys climbed back on the victory wagon by defeating Rankin. After moving in high gear throughout the first quarter the Clairton attack dwindled to a standstill in the second period. Rolling again in the 'final stanzas, the Bears chalked up the fourth win out of five starts in league compe- tition. In the most thrilling game of the season, the Bears nosed out Turtle Creek in overtime. They came through to squelch Turtle Creek's victory hopes. Yanik was the hero-tallying three field goals in the extra period. The Bears eked out a thrilling triumph over Swissvale to gain revenge for a previous shellacking. Revenge was sweet for the Bears when they thumped Wilkinsburg for their eleventh straight win on the home court. Jump ball. The gang. It 5 907 T0 90 Good for two. Sack time.

They were weak in the run- ning events, but the field events overbalanced them. There were a few records broken by some of the boys.

Miss Hess. we .fgffigfic ..jJ:550Ci0Lfi0lfL The Girls Athletic Association-better known as the G. A. A. -was formed in T943 for the sole purpose of promoting girls' sports within the high school. This year the G. A. A. started their activities early by initiating new members. They are chosen by unanimous vote of the old members. The pledgees endured the traditional pigtails, red and green ribbons and socks, and pillow cases for book bags. They appeared without make-up and offered the members a piece of candy from the large bag which each pledgee carried. The initiation ended with a party at the park lodge on December 30. According to the rules of the association, every Friday, each member wore her black sweater with the orange emblem. Two of the G. A. A. girls, Evelyn Brown and Betty Crooks, were asked to assist Miss Boyer as referees in the iunior high basketball tournament. Activities of the year included roller-skating parties, num- erous get-togethers at the park lodge, and a farewell party for the seniors.

One by-word of the first few weeks of school was Oh my w-e-a-r-y body! After graduating from volleyball to basketball, the going got rough. And more than one skinned knee and bruised elbow resulted. Although a few of the classes numbered in the sixties Miss Hess still managed to give us that physical activity which is so vital to young people. The annual girls' volleyball tour- nament, with twenty-four teams competing, ended after heated competition, with the ten captained by Betty Crooks emerging champs!
