Actual construction on this modern educational plant was begun on Ianuary 1, 1938, sixty-nine years after the first free school system was adopted by the township. Located on a thirteen-acre plot, the building is four hundred and eight feet long. It is approximately one-quarter mile around the exterior perimeter of the building. Mr. C. Yenter, the general contractor, reports that more than 125,000 man hours of labor went into the building. The structure required 580,000 bricks, 80,000 tile, 13,300 sacks of cement which was mixed with 266,000 shovelfuls of sand and 1,064,000 shovelfuls of stone, 90,000 feet of lumber, 6,000 cubic yards of excavation, 18,000 square yards of plastering, 32,000 square feet of wood floors, 7,000 feet of steam pipe, 5,600 square feet of radiation, and 522 electric lights. Water is supplied from a two hundred foot well with an 11,000 gallon pressure supply tank. The cost. of which forty-five percent was contributed by the Federal Government through the Public Works Administration, for the building and equipment was more than flS350,000. The building contains 34 class rooms including vocational agriculture shop, industrial arts shops, library, music room, labora- tories, home economics rooms, gymnasium, auditorium and conference rooms. DAVIDSVILLE SCHOOL The new high school building is the newest school plant in Davidsville. The first school in Davidsville was made of log construction in 1835. This structure was used for both school and church purposes. Nelson McMillen was the first teacher in this building under the free school system which was adopted in 1869 by Conemaugh Township, one of the last in the county to have free schools. Prior to 1869 only subscription school was held. About 1870 a new school building was erected at the south end of the town. A. F. Swank taught in this school. Later the school site was moved to the other end of town north of the Lutheran Church. ln 1913 the school was moved to its present location on land bought from Charles Yeoman. IEROME SCHOOL The town of Ierome is situated on the farm of the late Iacob Blough. The mine was opened in 1904 and many of the houses were erected at once. The building of a town and the moving in of families necessitated the building of a school. About this time the Conemaugh- Township School Board erected a two room building which was soon outgrown and two additional rooms were added. Later this was vacated and an eight room building was erected on the site of the present structure. During the winter of 1920-21 while the board of directors were planning to add four additional rooms to the building, it was destroyed by fire in the HISTORY OF SCHOOLS early evening. Plans were then laid for the erection of a twelve room building which was outgrown by 1926-27, when four additional rooms were added. Again in 1929-30 this building was outgrown by an enrollment of 724 students, and a two room portable building was added. The Ierome School is still used as the largest center for our elementary schools. Mr. Robert Haynes, now a teacher in our high school, served as principal of the Ierome School for a period of twelve years. Mr. Iames W. Spory is the present principal. KAUFMAN SCHOOL Although the Kaufman School of Conemaugh Township, located about a mile north of Davidsville on route 219, is still a typical two room country school house, there have been many improvements and advances made since the first log building was erected. This one was located one mile southeast of the Kaufman Mennonite Church. In 1860 a new building was erected on the site where the present Kaufman school stands. During the use of this building in 1869, the free schooling system was established in Conemaugh Township. Before this time, schooling was all by subscription. Iohn Brubaker was the first teacher after its instal- lation. In the first year there were only three months of school with no com- pulsory school laws. This building was furnished with old fashioned heating stoves, home- made benches, and wooden black boards. School was attended by thirty boys and fifteen girls, their ages ranging from five to nineteen. In 1885 a new building was built. It was a small white frame school. E. L. Swank was the first teacher in the school. The building that now stands, a two room brick structure, was erected in 1922 by Mr. Ioe Miller, a local contractor. SAYLOR SCHOOL Prior to 1870 the pupils from the Saylor school district attended school at Thomas Mills where an enrollment of 76 was recorded during the 1869-1870 school term, the year of the first free public school in Conemaugh Township. In the spring of 1870 the school board erected a school at the crossroads on a farm owned by Iohn Thomas. This school known as Saylor School is approximately one and one-half miles north of Thomas Mills. The land was nonated by Iohn Thomas as long as it was used for school purposes. During the first term, 1870-1871, there were 39 pupils. Mr. Merley, the first teacher, taught only a few weeks and then resigned. Mr. George W. Horner succeeded him and taught only until the middle of the term when he resigned. Herman A. Walker who finished this first term taught the following year at Saylor School. This first building served its purpose until 1887 when it was replaced by a larger and more modern building placed diagonally at the crossroads on land given by Daniel Thomas in exchange for the former site of the school. This building was vacated and sold at the end of the 1937- 1938 term to Lawrence Thomas, present owner of the surrounding farm, thus completing sixty-seven years of public education at this location. HISTORY OF SCHOOLS THOMAS MILLS SCHOOL The Thomas Mills school is located about five hundred feet from the Somerset Pike. The first free school there in 1869 was taught by David Hummer. The term started November 8, 1869 and ended March 9, 1870. Seventy-six pupils of whom four were twenty years old were included in this first free public school. Previous to 1869 subscription school was held. WERTZ SCHOOL The Wertz School, a one room brick building located south of the North Fork Dam, at one time was located where now lies sixty-feet of Iohnstown drinking water. The school was sold at the end of the 1937-38 term to Mr. Frank Eash who plans to make a home out of the structure. LIVINGSTON SCHOOL The Livingston School is a one room wooden building located on the Somerset Pike adjacent to the Grange Hall. At one time this school was located directly across the highway from its present location. Mr. Griffith, who bought the building, plans to turn it into a recreation hall. TIRE HILL SCHOOL The Tire Hill school was built about 1860 along the Davidsville Pike at the Tire Hill Crossroads where the Tire Hill garage is now located. The school was large enough to accomodate the farming community and Krings Station until the mines opened and a larger building was constructed in 1909. EASH SCHOOL The first Eash school constructed in 1878 was a one-room building and housed between 65 to 70 pupils. Samuel Shetler was one of the first teachers at this structure. The second building, a two-room school, was constructed in 1910. Nine years later in 1919 the present school was constructed. It con- sisted of four rooms, but two rooms were added later on. MAPLE RIDGE SCHOOL In 1913 the Maple Ridge school was built to alleviate the overcrowded conditions in the Eash school. An arbitrary division line was made and pupils attended the Eash or Maple Ridge schools on the basis of this division. The first classes were held in the Maple Ridge building upon its completion in 19141. MILLER SCHOOL The latest Miller School was built in 1903 after two structures had previously been used. The first school was located on ground given by Mr. Miller. Later the school was moved up the hill to ground given by Shetlers. During the past four or five years approximately forty pupils have been in attendance each ye-ar. KEAFER SCHOOL Land for the Keafer School was obtained from Henry Keafer on the condition that the land be used for school purposes. At one time the school was located further up the hill from its present location. Only thirteen or fourteen pupils have gone to the school each year during the last five years.

Mr. Telford Blough took charge at that time and nominations were made for the various class officers. One day later class members voted for the persons of their choice in each respective position with the following being elected: Edgar O'Connor, presidentg Ruth Wenerd, vice-president: Foster Custer, secretaryg Alfred Ferrari, treasurer. The first senior social event was held in the form of a Christmas praty and dance in the school gymnasium December 30. Horace Stokes' orchestra provided music for the seventy-five couples who attended the affair, Deco- rations appropriate to the season, few lights, good refreshments, and inter- esting games added immeasurably to the success of the class's first social 6V6l'1f. Early in Ianuary senior officers together with the other senior high class representatives as a committee selected school rings. A design was made up incorporating symbols from mining and farming, the leading industries in the township. A seal was made and will probably be used in other school materials. The seniors' final project was the first volume of the Connumach. From a group of four applicants the seniors selected Marjorie Rowe as editor- in-chief. Alex Keenan was appointed business manager. THE IUNIUR CLASS HE junior Class was organized soon after the opening of school and choose from their group Walter McCall as president, Betty lane Kring as vice-president, Marie Weaver as secretary, and Barbara Temyer as treasurer. Miss Alice E, Boyer and Mr, Robert F, Kautz were chosen as class deans. The class consists of one hundred and one members. The boys out- number the girls as fifty-eight are boys, and forty-three are girls. Rooms 208, 209, 210 are junior home rooms. Miss Alice E. Boyer, Mr. joseph H. jones and Mr. Paul E. Berkebile are the home room teachers. Wishing to be able to give the Senior Class either a banquet or a party, the junior Class set about obtaining money. This was done chiefly through selling wax paper and by roller-skating party and the sport hop. Each mem- ber assisted in promoting these projects, so that the class has been able to raise the necessary money. A few of the junior Class members have ordered their class rings. The rings are of a standard design with a choice of gold or silver with either onyx or ruby sets or a plain ring. There are pins to match and some juniors plan to have the set before graduation. Members of the junior Class figure prominently in almost every school activity. Room 209 captured the Senior High School basketball championship. juniors are outstanding members of the football, basketball, wrestling, and track teams. The girls are also Well represented in sports. The juniors are not only outstanding in sports, but in other fields as well. The class is re- presented in the band, orchestra, chorus, school newspaper, dramatic pre- sentations and hobby clubs. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS HE Sophomore Class, organized on December 28, 1938 under the super' vision of Mr. Telford Blough, elected officers to serve for one year and class deans to advise the class for three years. Miss Carol Henderson and Mr. Iohn Kaufman were chosen as class deans, Officers elected were: Doris Blough, president: Franklin Weaver, vice president: Constance Caro- sello, secretaryg Steve Kuchman, treasurer. The Sophomore's main social event of the year was a roller skating party held at the Bridge Street Rink in Iohnstown. The two hundred fifty persons attending the affair made the event an outstanding success. Further activity included selling of Wade Products to bolster the newly-formed treasury. Through the four home room representatives the Sophomore class enthusiastically participated and supported their own activities and those of other organizations in the school. Despite the fact that all of our members have attended other high schools before coming to Conemaugh Township, there is little rivalry among the representatives from the various schools. The boys and girls from Fern- dale, Boswell, Windber and Cochran are all doing their best to make loyal Conemaugh Township High School students and are showing promise of being a class worthy of notice.

Most high school P. G's. are graduates of that high school. Since this is the first year for Conemaugh Township High School, its post grads have come from other schools. Nevertheless the spirit of cooperativencss possessed by these thirteenth-year people has had significant effects on lower classmen. , Starting out with a total of seventeen in the homeroom of Mr. Galen R. Oellig, the group has been reduced by moving of its mem- bers and by their fortunate obtaining of jobs. From Iohnstown High the following persons came after grad- uation: Charles Fetterman, Ruth Eash, Russell Hironimus, Wilfred McCartney, Mary lane Miller, Richard Smith, Iohn Cmith. Albert Weaver, Ir., Ernest Walker, Ir., Elaine Glessner, Elaine Griffith, and Irene Platt graduated from Boswell High School. Doris Border was the only member who attended Ferndale High while Roland Corchran from Connellsville High, Margaret Ioyce from Somerset High, Dorothy Koontz from Windber High School, and Mona Maquire from Hooversville High School are lone rep- resentatives of their respective schools. scHooLL1FE THE CONNUMACH I AKING an all-school annual when both school and staff M have been functioning as well organized units presents many varied and difficult tasks. The magnitude of the undertaking is further increased in producing a first edition. Start- ing with a group of inexperienced persons was one difficulty soon overcome by The 1939 Connumachn organization. Enthusiasm and cooperativeness were two factors that proved very effective in overcoming lack of experience. Providing necessary financial backing in the midst of precarious labor and industrial conditions proved to be no nemesis for the business staff. Finding and writing up copy for the newly organized clubs and activities presented a problem which was not at first easily solved. The editors of this first yearbook in the history of Conemaugh Township High School have tried to present a representative picture of the activities of the school, so that in later years a browsing through The 1939 Connumachn will bring back pleasant memories and thoughts of this first year. Marjorie Rowe was selected as editor-in-chief of The 1939 Connumachn by the senior class. Alexander Keenan was ap- pointed business manager. Other persons with their positions on the staff are Lloyd Baroni, advertising managerg LaVerne Paden, class editor: Walter McCall, subscription managerg Claire Hughes and Edwarda Bell, assistant editors: Vera Mae Mull, Geraldine Rininger, Mary Grace Mishler, and Robert Lehman, typists. 7,777 , , Y , , ,A 1 , , THE CGNNUMACH TUDENT contributors of editorial material were Pauline Simchok, Ruth Wenerd, Dorothy Williamson, Evelyn Williamson, Thelma Iones, Iune Kaufman, Rebecca Gindles- perger, Betty Iarvis, Iune Shriver, Doris Blough, Gloria Capretti, Dorothy Lybarger, Lela Mae Blough, Marjorie Dunmire, Sarah Young, Bill Swain, and Kenneth Brown. Solicitors of. advertisements and office assistants were Dick Kissell, Betty Barron, Constance Carosello, Iennie Panasci, Orpha Strayer, Evelyn Spangler, Martha Ruthko, Helen Pipta, Clara Verna, Betty Rullo, Robert Snably, and Tony Morbit. For their assistance and encouragement we thank: Glenn C, Hess and Telford B. Blough for advice in editorial and financial problems: Thomas Waliko for photography and use of equipment: Louis E. Wise of the Iahn and Ollier Engraving Company for his valued assistance, Leslie M. Weigel of Weigel and Barber Printing Company for technical advice on printing and use of equipment, The editors and staff members pictured on these pages: And all other persons, too numerous to mention, whose con- tributions have made possible the success of this volume. THE NEWSPAPER HE newspaper staff, chosen several weeks before the publica- tion of the first edition of the paper, consists of Pauline Simchock, editor-in-chief: Iames Kaltenbaugh, assistant editor: Mary Montgomery, Carl Magerl, Alex Keenan, sports: LeRoy Verna, business manager: Mae Bittner, Iulianna Knapp, Ruth Berkey, Lester Thomas, Iennie Panasci, Wilbur Weaver, lean Crock, Helen Pipta, Evelyn Williamson, Dorothy Daufman, Velma Kaltenbaugh, Evelyn Spangler, Morris Frederick, Helen Konieszny, reporters. The first edition of the paper was published and placed on sale Ianuary 7, 1939. Three cents was the price charged to help defray mimeograph and miscellaneous financial charges. Approxi- mately five hundred copies were printed and sold in the first edition. Six editions of the paper, which comes out every three weeks, were published before Iune 14 when the last paper was produced. As yet no name for the paper has been found. lt is expected that a new name will be chosen early next year. To raise funds to cover certain fixed charges pictures of the boys' varsity basketball team were sold by the business staff. A profit has been realized on each edition of the paper, so that next year's staff will be able to make an easier start and have necessary equipment. THE GIRL RESERVES HE organization meeting for the Girl Reserves was held on - March 21, 1939. At that time the following officers were elected: Mary Grace Mishler, president: Pauline Simchok, vice president: Vera Mae Mull, secretaryg Ann Horbiak, treasurer. Miss Mary Crock and Miss Marie Lower are advisers of the group. At the meeting of the club on May 2 a constitution was sub- mitted and adopted. At this time a standard song also was selected. Because of the lateness of their organization, the club has had little opportunity to engage in many activities. A more ambitious pro- gram is planned for next year. Included on the membership of this first Girl Reserves Club are the following persons: Betty Barron, Evelyn Barron, Edwarda Bell, Agnes Berchick, Mae Bittner, Mary Cherry, Violet Covitch, julia Drzewiecki, Marjorie Dunmire, Edith Edwards, Cora Ellen Eppley, lVlartha Govlaker, Elaine Griffith, Zela Holsopple, Ann Hobiak, Claire Hughes, Velma Kaltenbaugh, Dorothy Kaufman, Iulianna Knapp, Dorothy Koontz, Betty jane Kring, Beatrice Lay- man, Dorothy Long, Alma McLucas, Geraldine Miller, Mary Grace Mishler, Thelma Moon, Vera Mae Mull, LaVerne Paden, Geraldine Rininger, Marjorie Rowe, Betty Rullo, Pauline Simchock, Marjorie Smith, Arlene Snably, Evelyn Spangler, Orpha Strayer, Eva Toscani, Clara Verna, Marie Weaver, Evelyn Williamson, jean Young, Helen Zubak, Helen Bowser. THE STUDENT COUNCIL HE Student Council is a group which represents the students of Conemaugh Township High School in various affairs of the school. A temporary council organization was effected early in the school year to assist in certain administrative activities. Later a permanent organization was formed when permanent stu- dent representatives were chosen from each home room. Elected to office in this group were: Thelma Moon, presidentg Alexander Keenan, vice president: Barbara Temeyer, secretaryg Mr. Telford Blough, adviser. It was suggested and agreed that seniors be elected to presidency and vice presidency with a junior to be secretary. As yet no office of treasurer has been established, The activities of the Student Council have been limited as this is the first year of organization. However, committees of the council assisted in selecting permanent school colors. The group helped sell tickets for the Weiser's Musical Revue, Each homeroom rep- resentative took care of ticket sales, sold newspapers, and assisted in many homeroom activities. Members of the Student Council are: Duane Blough, Iane Hamer, Helen Horbiak, Paul May, Margaret Smith, Ruth Smith, Daryl Dill, Ruth Georg, Ioseph Maslak, William Palomba, Romana Stahl, Charles Buckingham, Dorothy English, Walter Kosoki, Edna Marchi, Iosephine Salvaggio, Betty VanDivender, Doris Blough, Robert Law, Ida Mae Maggs, Franklin Weaver, Claire Hughes, Walter McCall, Archie Wible, Alex Keenan, Thelma Moon, Dorothy Koontz. THE RED BCOK ENGLISH CLUB ii? HE Red Book English Club came as an outgrowth of a unit on club meetings which was studied in senior English. Since one day each week was set aside as a study period, the group decided to use that time for club meeting purposes. Officers were elected to serve for a period of six weeks, so that more persons would get an opportunity in this experience. Albert Crock was chosen as chairman and Pauline Simchock was selected secretary for the first six weeks beginnig Ianuary 16. During the following periods Pauline Simchock, Robert Snably, and Evelyn Williamson were chairmen in the respective order while Iulianna Knapp, Lloyd Baroni, and Geraldine Rininger were secretaries. The c1ub's first event consisted of a tour through the Iohnstown Tribune plant on the afternoon of Monday, February 13. Approxi- mately thirty-fivewrsons made the trip on Mr. Iacobs' bus. At the newspaper plant the advertising, editorial, mechanical, and press departments were visited. Shortly after this trip the club decided to keep a scrapbook containing newspaper clippings, programs, and miscellaneous material concerning events in Conemaugh Township High School during the 1938-39 school year. Clipping committees, pasting com- mittees and an art committee were appointed to take care of this project, On Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, the Redbook English Club had Marion Doyle, Hooversville poet, as guest speaker at a program held in the auditorium and opened to other classes interested in poetry. Approximately two hundred pupils and teach- ers were in attendance to hear the discussion on poetry and the original poems of Marion Doyle. THE F. F. OF A. HE vocational agriculture class under the direction of Mr. Galen R, Oellig was formed immediately after the opening of the school term. Some weeks later a chapter of Future Farmers of America was formed. The agriculture students are segregated into two classes which meet two periods each day. Six- teen students ranging in age from fourteen years to eighteen years are enrolled in the vocational agriculture classes. Activities of the class include field trips to farms, removing cattle horns with caustic pencils, judging livestock and potatoes, and giving worm treatments to hogs. Shop work done in the school building consisted of making filing cabinets, building green-house flats, nailing boxes, and repairing farm implements, Experimenting on germination of seeds and growing of cabbage plants also was undertaken. A large sum has been realized by selling apples and Bermuda onion plants. About 400 bushels of apples and 12,500 onion plants were sold in the township. The class also thanks Mr. Herman Barndt for the privilege of storing the apples in his ground cave and helping in all the projects. Some of the outstanding activities of the class were the initia- tion services held at the Cairnbrook High School and the State Farm Show at Harrisburg last Ianuary, Other club activities par- ticipated in were various F. F. A. banquets throughout the county and the State-Wide F, F. A. contest held at State College, Pennsylvania. THE FORENSIC CONTESTANTS HE Pennsylvania Forensic League is organized to provide motivation where it is otherwise lacking, to recognize out- standing talent, and to stimulate interest in speech by pro- moting contests in which students of Pennsylvania high schools may participate. This year our school was represented at all of the con- tests. Conemaugh Township has made a fine showing in its first participation in these contests, considering the fact that none of our students have had any previous experience in this field. Betty Kring was selected as representative for the county poetry reading contest held at Meyersdale. Ruth Wenerd, Mary Montgomery, Evelyn Spangler, and Helen Pipta took part in the poetry reading elimination contest at the high school. With only two persons entered in the elimination contest in declaration, Dorothy Williamson was chosen over Emmert Keim for the county event which was held at Boswell, February 27. Morris Frederick represented the school at the county extempore speaking contest held at Somerset Township High School and was awarded second place in this event. Ann Horbiak, lone entrant in the Shakespeare reading contest, was awarded second place in the county contest held in our own auditorium. Carl Magrel won the original essay contest in the high school. Others taking part were Lois Williamson, Ruth Berkey, Ruth Wenerd, and Ann Horbiak. Emmert Keim, Mary Montgomery, Rebecca Gindlesperger, and Raymond Curanzy entered the original oration elimination contest. Emmert Keim was representative in the county event held at Rockwood. THE CAMERA CLUB HIS club was established on March 20, 1939, at which time the following officers were elected: Emmert Keim, presidentg Betty Barron, vice president, Morris Frederick, secretary: Evelyn Williamson, assistant secretary, and Margaret Smith, treasurer. The faculty advisers are Mr. Thomas and Mr. Trexel, The club consists of twenty-eight members all of whom are juniors and seniors. The members are Betty Barron, Edwarda Bell, Ken- neth Brown, Cora Ellen Eppley, Morris Frederick, Zella Holsopple, Claire Hughes, Dorothy Kaufman, Emmert Keim, Carl May, Waltei' McCall, Robert McClellan, Mary jane Miller, Thelma Moon. Raymond Ott, Harry Rummel, George Schoenwalder, Pauline Simchock, Margaret Smith, Marjorie Smith, Evelyn Spangler, Glenn Strayer, Orpha Strayer, LeRoy Verna, Evelyn Williamson, George Wytko, David Bowman, and Carl Magerl. On March 24 the constitution was ratified and accepted. To keep records of athletics and the other various activities of Conemaugh Township High School and to teach the members of the club to develop negatives and print pictures are the two main purposes of the Camera Club. Contests between the members will be one of the activities of the club the next school term. Each member is required to pay twenty-five cents dues for the year in order to buy the chemicals and other materials that are required for the work. A dark room has been established in a room on the second floor of the building. Members of the club took pictures of activities around the school as their main project this year. The best of these pictures were selected and used in this issue of the yearbook. THE AVIATION CLUB .rg HE Aviation Club was organized for the purpose of stimulating .f interest in aeronautics by means of contests and exchange of ideas. Mr. Iohn Kaufman was selected as adviser of the club which is divided into a junior group for seventh, eighth and ninth grades and a Senior group from the sophomore, junior and senior classes. The junior section of the club has its meetings at noon on Mondays throughout the school year. After-school hours on Mondays are spent by the senior group in its regular meetings. This year two contests were held in the gymnasium. Russell Hironimus was the Winner in the first event when his model re- mained in flight for a period of four minutes and fifteen seconds. In the second contest first prize went to Russell Schroyer while Lloyd Eash won the second prize. Officers of the senior club are: Russell Hironimus, president: Frank Weaver, secretary, Harold Hironimus, treasurer. ln the junior group William O'Connor is president and Dorsey Kaufman is treasurer. Q ew, nr... THE CHORUS HE highlight of the year in the vocal section of the music department was the presentation of Colbert and Sullivan's HH. M. S. Pinaforen under the direction of Miss Blanche Shaffer. The story is built around a lass who loved a sailor but could not ad- mit her love because of her high birth and his lowly origin. As the story progresses, we learn that a nurse had changed two children around so that the present captain and father of the lass should be the sailor, and the sailor who loved the lass should be the captain. Members of the cast were: Franklin Weaver, 'AThe Rt. Honorable Sir Ioseph Porter, K. C, B. 5 Donald Smith, Captain Coracoran g Billy Border, Ralph Rackstrawng Walter McCall, A'Billy Bobstayng Arnold Iacobs, UBob Bicketng Foster Custer, Tom Tucker , Kent Wible, Dick Deadeyeng Margaret Spangler, Iosephine g Pauline Simchock, Cousin Hebe g Iune Kaufman, Mrs, Crippsn. The mixed chorus of approximately fifty voices was organized early in the school yeagand sang at Eatroris Night celebratgn and at a special assembly program. A group of students consisting of Beverly Gindlesperger, Helen Trevorrow, Margaret Spangler, Thelma Iones, Clairmont Iones, Conley Blough, Ir., Petie Knapp, and Billy Border represented Conemaugh Township in the Second Annual All-County Music Festical at Somerset. Plans for the music department next year include further organ- ization of other musical groups such as girls chorus, boys chorus, and small vocal ensembles. THE ORCHESTRA HE orchestra under the direction of Mr. Robert Iohns, super- visor of instrumental music, was an organization which got off to a late start. Near the end of the first semester regular prac- tice periods starting Ianuary 30 were planned so that the orchestra could be formed. Consisting of thirty-five members, the orchestra has shown progressing improvement in each of its public appear- ances. The group has played for the Patron's Night event, four one-act plays, Go Slow Mary, Shakespeare Reading contest, and at various assembly programs. Persons who are affiliated with this group are: Paul May, Edward Dragar, lane Hamer, Karl Kaufman, Andy Novak, Hilton Schrecengost, Margaret Smith, Andrew Ra- cosky, Clayton Iordon, Iunior Blough, Betty Van Divender, Mar- garet Spangler, Flora Gray, Keith Younkin, Pete Onyshko, Ioe Wojtisek, Virgil Good, Paul Toth, Bob Spangler, Rudolph Barndt, Ruth Berkey, Edward Plesivec, Betty Barron, Stan Loch. , VARSITY FOOTBALL ANY school districts have a high school but no football team. Relatively few districts can boast of having a football team before there is an organized high school. Conemaugh Township is one place that can qualify for the second classification. Early in September Head Coach Peter Fee and his assistants Robert Kelly and Iames Spory started on an almost herculean task of making a foot- ball team. Possessing no organized student body to draw from, having no equipment and no field, and not knowing any boys of previous grid experience, the coaches had a man-sized job ahead of them, However, by the first game on September 16 a winning combination was pulled out of the bag, equipment was purchased, and a field was located. Before the first game could be played special permission had to be obtained from the Pennsylvania lnterscholastic Athletic Association at Harris- burg. A field on the Ioseph Iones farm was found to be excellent for grid purposes so it was cleaned of rocks and other materials and made ready for play. Conemaugh Township made their debut by halting the Beaverdale Eleven 6-0. The way to victory ,was 'started when a, Beaverdale fumble was recovered by the Townshippers on the 30 yard line. A first down was chalked up on the 18, from where Maslanka skirted right-end for a touchdown. Not quite as fortunate in the second game but still displaying fine form, the Feemen dropped an 18-0 decision to Somerset. Two intercepted passes were converted into touchdowns by the Orang and Black. Aside from the two breaks there wasn't much to choose from as both teams registered seven first downs. Conemaugh Township lost an excellent scoring chance late in the first quarter and early in the second when Romeo intercepted a pass and ran 15 yards to the eight-yard line where the first quarter ended. However, Coach Fee's boys lost the ball on downs at this point early in the second quarter. VARSITY FOOTBALL ONVERTING a fumble into a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter, Conemaugh Township registered a hard-earned 7-0 victory over Spangler at the latter's field, October 1. Coach Vivadelli's boys made a brilliant last-minute bid to avert defeat by driving almost the length of the field only to lose the ball on downs to the Red and Black on the two- yard line. An exceptionally large crowd of Conemaugh Township fans were transported to this game on the new school buses. On October 8, Confluence brought their big team to the Joe Iohns field, but a 0-0 tie was the best they could do, Confluence made a slim two-yard advantage over Conemaugh Township in total gains, Both teams registered the same number of first downs, and neither one had a good scoring chance. Three lengthy drives gave Conemaugh Township High School as many touchdowns and an easy 20-0 victory over Hyndman High School at Davids- ville on October 15. An 80 yard drive, a 66 yard drive featured by a 20-yard pass, and a 40-yard push netted three touchdowns. The Feemen registered 13 first downs to 6 for Hyndman. Counting single six-pointers in each of the four quarters, but given a much tougher battle than the score would indicate, Portage High School 'downed Conemaugh Township's first-year team 25-6 on October 22 at Davidsville. So tight was the battle that Coach Ed Hochrein kept his first team in practical- ly the entire game, not making a single substitute until the final two minutes of play. Hebda recovered a Portage fumble on the 31 from where the Feemen used a spread formation to take the ball to the 2-yard line. Lape bumped center for the touchdown, In the big game of the season Conemaugh Township High handed the Iohnstown High Bees their first defeat with a 20-13 count. In this game played under the lights at the Point Stadium the Townshippers completely outclassed the Bees to take a 13-0 lead at the half. Clark Shaffer's boys came back strong, but Romeo's 45 yard run with an intercepted pass in the final period was sufficient margin for victory. A visiting contingent of about 1,000 Township fans were well-organized in a cheering section. Coach Peter Fee's new eleven routed Franklin Township of Murrays- ville on November 5 with a 25-0 score. Trachok intercepted a Franklin pass and raced 25 yards for a touchdown late in the opening quarter after Maslanka had scored the first touchdown a few minutes earlier. In the third frame with the ball on the Franklin Township seven-yard line Trachok took a pass from lV1aslanko for the locals' fourth and final touchdown. 1 Coach Fee's boys lost a heart breaker in the final game of the season when Boswell eked out a 13-12 victory at Boswell. On this first football team in the history of Conemaugh Township, Weir, Ioe Trachok, Mathias, Don O'Connor, Chynoweth, and Alvin Trachok were out for ends. Tackle aspirants were Kuharchek, Hebda, Grimes, Henninger, and Kaltenbaugh. Edgar O'Connor, Ruis, Bob Andriene, H. Hironimus and Desort were guards. Centers were Stenger, Palmino, Chynoweth, and Weaver. Backfieldmen were M, Kuchman, Maslanka, Lape, Romeo, Start, Knapp, Thomsewszki, Iarvis, Snably, and Cola. Archie Weible, Wayne Vincent, Robert Smith, Ed Curranzy and Ioyce were managers. VARSITY BASKETBALL u I OT wishing to be outdone by the football team which started out in an f an unusual' manner, the basketball squad also had Ripley ideas be- cause practices were held sans banking boards and baskets until two days before the first game with the faculty on December 6, The teachers held the pupils on even terms during the first quarter, but the varsity pulled away early in the second quarter and increased its margin as the game progressed to run up a 51-20 count. In a preliminary the junior varsity turned back the freshmen 25-16. ln its debut in interscholastic basketball against Burgettstown High at Davidsville, Conemaugh Township dropped the inaugural tilt 27-19. Burgetts- town swept into an early lead and was never headed. Nicksick, sparkplug of Uifion High's attack, made enough points himself to turn back the Town- shippers. Team equipment arrived unexpectedly and the cagers were able to flash their new uniforms which are scarlet and black. Black uniforms and white numerals were purchased for the freshmen team, which lost the pref liminary to Hooversville High by a 26-11 score. Five days later Coach Fee's cagemen came out on the short end of a 45-21 count with Conemaugh Borough High School of Iohnstown. Coach Art Detzel's Iron Horses were unstoppable after gaining an early lead in the contest. The Red and Black journeyed to Southmont High where they lost a thriller 31-30 on Friday, December 16. Not daunted by their lack of success in the opening three games, the Townshippers came back to the home floor on December 20 to register a 38-24 suprise victory over a strong Rockwood quintet. Eddie Maslanka tossed nine field goals and two fouls for a total of 20 points, nearly as many as the entire veteran Rockwood team garned. Conemaugh Township won the jayvee tilt with a 14-IO score. Q . The following evening in a game played on the Franklin High court the Feemen were not quite so fortunate and dropped a 34-27 decision. Sapko, high scoring Blue lay forward, led his team to victory. lt was the third straight win for Coach Mike Wissler's outfit. VARSITY BASKETBALL AKING only a day's rest, Conemaugh Township cagers journeyed to Union High at Burgettstown on December 23 and were defeated 36-28, Nicksick again put on the heat and led his team in total points scored. Still continuing to play away from home, the Red and Black managed to take the measure of Rockwood High with a 29-18 win on December 27, On December 29 Coach Everhart brought his veteran Uniontown quintet to Conemaugh Township and went home with a 49-20 win in the bag. Rhuebottom, classy center for the visitors, led the way to a commanding lead early in the contest, The game was a coach vs. pupil affair since Coach Everhart coached Peter Fee of Conemaugh Township when he was a student at Uniontown High. , As a New Year's Eve celebration the Red and Black cagers went to town on December 31 to defeat Southmont High 32-26 and thus avenge an earlier season defeat. The Townshippers trailed the opponents until midway in the second period when they took over the lead and were never headed.
