The members of the Clairton School Board, giving voluntarily of their time and ser- vices, work diligently to provide Clairton chil- dren with the best of educational facilities. lncreased maintenance costs, a growing school population, and a shortage of certified Mr H D Teal teachers, among other trying developments, have added greatly to the problems this school year has presented. Personal supervision and constructive in- spection, and more frequent meetings than in the past bear witness to the sincere effort the Board is making to keep education in Clairton at a high level. . .Q1j.m.,7.2LlL Superintendent of Schools A. B., Defiance College M. A., Ohio State University The year 1929 brought to Clairton as new Superintendent of Schools, a man educated in Ohio who had had administrative experience there as head of the Henry and the Stark County Schools. ln the twenty years Mr. H. D. Teal has since served the Clairton Schools, they have grown and prospered. During his term of office he has established himself as a leader among other school men of the region and has figured importantly in all community affairs. He is a member of the Clairton Chapter of Rotary International, and, always actively inter- ested in sports, is a low-scoring member of the Monongahela Valley Golf Club and is often the high-scoring member of the school Men's Bowl- ing League.

D., University of Pittsburgh lt was in 1925, five school years after his graduation from Clairton High, that Evert Stabler returned to Clairton to teach history and to begin his long association with Clairton Schools as teacher and administrator. Four years later he was elected principal of Fifth Street Junior High School which he man- aged elficiently until 1938 when he was moved to Senior High School. ln the years since then, he has proved him- self a sincere friend to pupils and teachers in his efforts to make Clairton High a pleasant, well- ordered place in which to learn and to teach. Dr. Stabler is a life member of the Pennsyl- vania State Education Association and the Na- tional Education Association. He is past-District Governor 'I4 B of Lions International and at pres ent is State Chairman of the Lions Internationa- Convention Committee l 1 , g il 3,- ' Ut.

It was then that scruffy little boys first met bashful little girls and showed their undying de- votion by tormenting them till they screamed with delight. ln a more serious vein they all strove to master the syllable sounds, the multi- plication tables, the names of continents, and the story of George Washington. They learned to work and play together. Progressing to iunior high school, the Forty- niners unwillingly acquired a new duty, Night- work, which has plagued them ever since, but together they got into things like football, bas- ketball, track, band, chorus, orchestra, and plays. These gave the ring's band of Friendship a chance to grow faster than ever before. They learned too their first step in democratic self- government by campaigning and voting for the officers of their choice. ln the fall of T947 more than 325 Forty- niners came together for the first time from Clair- ton, Wilson, and the townships, and the circle of Friendship was complete. Together for three years they added the final touches of Knowledge studying diligently geometry theorems, verb con- iugations, Shakespeare's plays, chemical formu- las, and typewriter keyboards. Now each Forty-niner wears a gold ring symbolizing both Friendship and Knowledge. They look hopefully to the future when all Na- tions will be bound by one ring-the Golden Ring of World Peace.

The class of 1950 feels it is a lucky class. To begin with, it has four competent officers and is under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Maloy. Then, it is comprised of hard-working students always willing to cooperate with their chosen leaders. They were especially busy at the time of the Prom, which they carried out in the tradition of the colorful and charming Gay Nineties. While dancing to Tommy Carlyn's wonderful music, the girls may not have been quite so demure nor the boys so gallant as those of the Nineties, but every girl was beautiful and every boy was handsome and all were confident that the class of 1950 was staging a first-rate Spring Prom. Two Juniors hold page-editor iobs on the Clairtonian News, and several have done out- standing work for the business staff of the An- nual and in the special groups for the music contests. Members of the class of T951 also included in this section, although not formally organized, have made many contributions as individuals to the success of sports, music, and publications activities this year. At the end of May under the guidance of Miss Rose Schepis they will conduct what will be, without a doubt, a very interesting campaign and election for their next year's officers.

The Latin, Spanish, and French courses taught at CHS are an answer to youth's universal desire for broader horizons as well as promoters of international respect and tolerance. Next best to travel itself, the study of places and people, customs, and cultural accomplishments helps students understand the peoples whose languages they are learning to read and to speak. Miss Cora Pitcairn teaches this year two full classes of talented artists. Besides their regular class-time proiects like oil painting, portraiture, posters, and water color, these students spend many extra hours doing programs, posters, and placecards for school parties and banquets Thirteen seniors worked several months on the division pages for this yearbook SJ 1 11, T Sunny, like Italia itself Sidelights on Spanish. Puttering in paints. 59 Mathematics and the sciences are useful subjects in which all CHS gradu- ates are given a good foundation. The curriculum offers math at all levels. For the prospective college stu- dent there are algebra-first and second year, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. For others there are general math and business math. The science courses oFfer much prac- tical knowledge in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced gen- eral science. Students who complete these courses should be well-equipped to hold their own in a civilization essentially scientific. They should know how to use to best advantage the new things science produces every day to make the homes they will establish healthful, convenient, and comfortable. No iokes today?

Gym classes follow the seasons' sports, do calisthenics, and indulge in restful games like cannonball and human cro- quet. Swimmers aim at lite-saving badges or at just saving themselves. Health lessons now have a new slant because they are being taught by science and homemaking teachers. Graduates in the Commercial Course are fully qualified office workers. Their senior practical work with machines, files, dictation and transcription is backed by a thorough grounding in typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand taught in tenth and eleventh grades. They are also otifered special courses in salesman- ship, business math, and commercial law. They also swim Feint, brother, femt' W Machine experts. Eyes right' Hitting on all two? Watch that wire!

Every year more boys than there is room for apply for admission. Those finally accepted by Mr. Wilbur Monks, the director, after a series of tests learn for two years under competent instructors the fundamentals of either electricity, auto mechanics, or machine tools. This shop training is equalized every other week by scholastic instruction in related English, social studies, mathematics, and science. The department also ofTers a General Shop class to both boys and girls enrolled in other courses. 62 The project tackled by Vocational Girls this year was the redecorating of the Homemaking apartment. The girls worked hard scraping and refinishing the dining room furniture, making colorful bedspreads and chair covers, and crochet- ing hooked rugs, the result being an extremely attractive set of rooms. The girls catered for several teas, notably those given for the Carnegie Tech Little Symphony Orchestra, the Clairton Car Dealers Association, and the annual one for all senior high girls. Teachers responsible for planning and supervising a fine Homemaking pro- gram are Miss Olga Coleman, Miss Sara Seitz, Miss Patricia LeDonne, and Miss Narcissa Yant. 63 Admiring the latest addition All ready for a June wedding Home needs the artist's touch. llama,- X f 'xxgal Ukmgyk l Wu 1 l Z-sa 'bf' 5 Muay L' r Lim!

That is, CHS students, for the first time in several years, made the dummy, mounted the pictures, and did the art work. Connie is responsible for the general de- sign of the book, a big iob. Kenneth and Alice worked hours making writing assignments and rewriting. Jean Ann and Jack had the nerve- iangling task of arranging picture schedules and then arranging people for pictures. Edith worked on art and special picture mounting. Betty .lane did all the typing for both stafts. Miss Suzanne Phillips supervised. Everybody helped everybody else. Every- body made mistakes.

The exceptionally capable handling of new reporters by the editors, the love and energy that went into the planning and writing of six issues which had to please critical CHS readers, the after-school airing ot ideas and ideals, the bulle- tin board surprises-all these will leave in Room 42 something intangible but fine-a spirit which another stat? another year will find it hard to equal.

As the school's travelling representatives they have the iob of providing good entertainment and pro- moting good will. At home they are builders of morale and school spirit. Training requires long, painstaking hours on a twelve-month schedule. Master the music! Keep in step! Only after they have mastered these commands can mere horn-tooters be classed as real band members. During the hectic months of football season this group does amazing things.

Band pecker Song , Donkey Serenade , and Tiger Rag were all unforgettable entertainment. ln addition to performing in local stadiums, the band answered numerous requests to partici- pate in district parades, and the Clairton Orange and Black was a familiar sight to Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Changing from a loud, bambastic style to serious mood interpretation for the concert sea- son is rather difficult, but this year the band had an added incentive for preparing a first-rate pro- gram. The annual concert was to be the climax to the community campaign for funds to outfit the band with complete new uniforms. For another year the band retained its top calibre reputation, Members kept school spirit alive with their own determined loyalty, pro- duced an exceptionally good musical and march- ing organization, and most important, made hun- dreds of new friends for Clairton wherever they appeared.

During this time he has assisted with various sports, but for the past three years he has concentrated on swimming, and very successfully, too. It is a great accom- plishment to produce a championship team in any sport three years in a row. 9l Paul Lewis jmck Sam Barone and James Martell Baseball coach Sam Barone played for Stout lnstitute of Menomonie, Wisconsin and for local independent teams good enough to meet opposition like the Homestead Grays first as an outfielder, then as a third baseman, and finally as a pitcher. Assistant coach Jim Martell was u catcher headed for the big leagues when medical school and four years with the Navy interrupted. Duquesne and Mt. Lebanon were the only track teams scheduled to appear at the Clairton Stadium this spring because improvements plan- ned for the field were expected to get under way. Other dual meets for Coach Critchfield's cin- der men were at McKeesport, Connellsville, and possibly Carrick. Besides the WPIAL relays at Canonsburg, and the Washington Invitational Meet, the Bears expected to compete in the lnde- pendent Meet at Wilkinsburg, the WPIAL Meet at Connellsville, and if anyone qualified, the State Meet at State College. ln early drills, Andronikos Patellis was mak- ing good time in the 440 and his sophomore brother, Ted, continued to improve in the discus. Promising also were the 880 and the mile relay teams. The 880 relay team was made up of Jack Lozar, Jack Valvo, Connie Matz, and Charles Robinson, and the mile relay, of Wayne Guenther, Jim Williams, Jim Johnson, and Andy Patellis. For the hurdles there were Horace Jones, Norman Anderson, George Johnson, Ken Crooks, for the pole vault, George Kovalyak, iavelin, Jack Valvo, broadjump, Fred Boss, 880, Bill Kaufman, mile, Howard Kerr, high jump, Jim Johnson, shot put, Tony Vuievich, discus, Robert Sartor. c6'aubalL With Don Dwyer, second baseman, the only returning letterman, Coaches Barone and Mar- tell viewed the season with some doubts. The squad promised, however, to be made up of many Seniors who have done well on summer teams, and predictions were that the Bears should finish at least in the upper division. They were to playa twelve-game schedule which included Glassport and Elizabeth for warm-ups before one league game at home and one away with Duquesne, Homestead, McKees- port, Munhall, and Mt. Lebanon. Jim Frable was to head a mound staff in- cluding Mike Soltis, Arvin Kegel, Joe Ference and Carl Mathews. Jim Aiken and Lawrence Whet- zel were to handle the catching chores, aided possibly by Bill Nelson and Robert Macioce. Infield candidates, besides Dwyer, were Richard Gobbie, Cuyler Minda, Reid Lowe, Jim Shaffer, Victor Luietic, Eugene Mills, and Bob McNelis. Outfielders expected were Mike DeLucia, Walter Radocay, Julio Giangarlo, John Hronakes, and Howard Alexander. The managers were to be Joe Popovich, Regis Ward, Herbert Rebhun, and Phil Work. Larry Critchfield Head track coach larry Critchfield, former Pittsburgh Steeler, is a graduate of Confluence High School and Grove City College. He is an assistant football coach, and a teacher of physics and chemistry. Facing the season with a sadly undermanned squad, Mr. Critchfield expected to beat Duquesne, but was un- certain of the success the Bears would have in meeting stronger competition.

MIL' ' dzmnuatw' '11, Membership in the GAA, sponsored by Miss Laura B. Hess, is a distinct honor given only those girls who have athletic ability and who display with it a particularly fine kind of sportsmanship. When new members are elected, they go through a one-day pledge period with tradi- ditional pig-tails and pillow-case book sacks, and then are guests at a party which emphasizes food and fun. At another important party of the year senior members receive farewell gifts. GAA does not stand for Sellers of Pen- cils , as some students believe, but members do sell schedule pencils for worthy causes. This year they presented the cheerleaders with new black wool skirts with smart inverted orange plaits. As sponsors of the annual volleyball and basketball tournaments in which all CHS girls may participate, members referee games and keep score. Pictured below are this year's Vol- leyball Champions, a team made up of girls from all grades, and Basketball Champions, a senior team, along with the iunior and the sopho- more runners-up.

Cafeteria Staff A8 The 1949 All Sports Banquet was held Wed- nesday night, February 16, in the high school cafeteria. Mr. George Zdrale was general chair- man, Mr. Paul Lewis, toastmaster. 'k 'il' i' Bancl members, included as guests for the first time, swelled the crowd to over 400 persons. 'k 'k i' Dinner music by the Klairton Kadets, Mr. Robert Testa conducting, raised the cafeteria ceiling several inches. 'k 'k 1' GAA members and others chosen by Miss Hess had the tables decorated in festive yellow and green with centerpieces of spring flowers. i i 'k This was the easy part of their iob. Serving the huge and hungry crowd kept them hustling steadily for two hours. The turkey dinner prepared by Mrs. Eleanor Merle and the cafeteria staff was hot and delicious. Tall, lank Dr. DeGroot, guest speaker, tow- ered over the table as he stressed the impor- tance of good sportsmanship and honesty not only in athletic contests but in everything one does. 'k 'k 'k Dramatic moment of the evening was Dr. Stabler's presentation of Special Merit Awards to Larny Whetzel for football, Johnny Hronakes for basketball, and Bill Lee for swimming. 'k 'k 'k Program covers by Miss Cora Pitcairn's high school art classes featured the WPIAL Swimming Champions. x QNX 1 , , f 0 , I f 23 I r , ,, X ffl? w : Md ' Nga -1 Indy. , , A u p M1 qfcq Wi!
