e f I Q F A 5 5 S 2 1 il X , 1 THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS GTHS THE I 9 5 3 CQNNUMACH VCDLUME EDITED BY The Senior Class Conemaugh Township High School DAVIDSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA xv TV THIB TE To one who has spent most ot his lite as an educator, de- voting the last fifteen years to an earnest endeavor to mould a greater school tor our community and strengthen the lite and character ot each ot its students during all these years, to one Whose lite, character, and great devotion to his Work has been a guiding star to many, to G. W. Stephens, a man greatly ad- mired and deeply respected, as an expression ot our admiration, esteem, and tarewell-we, the Class ot 1953, the last 'class to be graduated under Mr. Stephen's administration, do sincerely dedicate this volume ot the Connumach. G. W. STEPHENS U FIJHEWUHD All the World's a stage And all the men and Women merely players. -Shakespeare The whole campus is the stage, We, the students, are its actors. Herein We have tried to picture the drama of our stu- dents of CTI-IS, as the year has seen it enacted. We have tried to include some behind-the-scene pictures in the representation of our activities. If We have succeeded, we seek no praise, We desire no Commendation, We have only accomplished what We set out to do. - 1 A 1 WHO'S WHO IN THE ADMINISTF X 1 7 f 'ATl0N X - Eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Sponsored by the CLASS OF 53 - W X , , f 4 f f , f t! I l Fifteen years ago Conemaugh Township voted consolidation and established its own high school. I was called as its first supervising principal. Many plans and procedures had to be set up to accommodate and educate all of the chil- dren. Transportation, among other problems, became one of the most difficult to handle. Grade buildings of sufficient size and conveniently located were retained for occupancy. The teaching staff, principals, supervisors, and maintenance Workers were placed, and have since been good examples of people Working together for a common cause. We have been blessed with a Will- ing school board to give the program proper support. In a program of education the school is the only agency that represents the Whole com- munity. Thus, the schools here have served, We hope, in a most efficient and helpful Way. Some- one has said, In this country, We pay too rnuch attention to our rights and privileges, and too little to our obligations. Our taxpaying citizens have performed their obligations. It is a demon- stration that one cannot forget. So, after these years as supervising principal, I wish to express my appreciation for these qualities of service from all my co-Workers and associates. And to the entire student body, past and present, I extend my congratulations for their efforts and cooperation, and say farewell. G. W. STEPHENS l Z Z Q M ,AM lf ll llAllAll X This is the fifteenth Connumach message to a Conernaugh Township graduating class. Fif- teen years is a short time When one looks back. But it seems a long View when one looks ahead. In fifteen years CTHS seniors have faced depression, peace, prosperity, war, inflation, the heady Wine of victory, the sobering reality of cold War and illusion, and a War that is both hot and cold for those who serve in Korea. The present period continues to be one of uncertainty. Some young people, therefore, adopt a philosophy of What is the use? They feel that life is futile-not Worth living, much less Worth planning and preparing for. The story of CTHS alumni refutes this attitude of futility. Those Who planned and Went forth with courage despite apparent gloom have succeeded. We hope you too can face your new life with confidence and faith and peace of soul. Our best Wishes go with you always. TELFORD B. BLOUGH 13' IIULTY ALDSTADT, HELEN BoY'rs - California State Teachers College. English. BARRON, EMMA KLINE - B, S. Indiana State Teachers College.

The financial backing for this production oi the CONNUMACH was ably managed by Pat Korns and her business staff.

After the material was assembled, the typing stall burned the midnight oil getting the script ready for the publishers. CONTOWNIAN STAFF Iohn Bctckrncm, Editor TYPING STAFF Port Korns, Associate Editor ADVISORS Mrs. Statler Mrs. Kring JUNIUH CLASS PLAY Lights! Camera! Action! These might have been the Words of Mrs. Kring, the director, as the curtain Was ready to open on the night ol February ll when the Iunior Class presented their play, The Whole ToWn's Talking. This comedy centers about the efforts of Mr. Simmons-Iohn Younkin to you -to promote a marriage of his business partner and his daughter, Ethel. In the role of Ethel, Sylvia Armstrong is emphatic in her disapproval of the idea. Operating on the theory that any Woman will Want the man every other Woman Wants, Mr. Simmons plans a few love affairs for unromantic Chester Binney, played by Richard Kisslak. In spite of all the complica- tions Mr. Simmons brings upon him, Chester is finally able to get himself out of trouble and win Ethel. The main characters Were supported by Mrs. Simmons, Sallie Mish- lerp Letty Lythe, Donna Kaltenbaughg Donald Swift, Ronald Ionesp Roger Shields, Dennis Rounsleyg Lila Wilson, Mary MacDonald, Sally Otis, Io Ann Pluta, Annie, Vivian Bloughp Sadie Bloom, Mildred Pike: Taxi driver, Tom Ratliff. SE Ilfllil EL 55 PL!-lY Romance, humor, vitality! This was the Senior play, Annie Get Your Gun, as it was pre- sented to a large and appreciative audience in the high school auditorium on December 9. The presentation of this play was a tribute to the dramatic talent of the Class of '53 and the able direction of Mrs. Kring. The rich, romantic story begins when Frank Butler fBill Petrol challenges a local person to a shooting match as an attraction to his show. Annie Oakley fPat Cochranel, nervous and gawky at first, accepts the invitation and beats Frank. Complications arise when Buffalo Bill flohn Backmanl makes her the star instead of Frank. Iealous of Annie, Frank joins another troupe, mak- ing both miserable over their separation. As other members of the troupe try to get them back together again the old argument bursts out anew-Which is the better shot. They decide to shoot it out once and for all. Chief Sitting Bull flack Gaucllipl, realizing that if Annie wins the match she loses Frank, bends the gun sight. When the time for the match comes, Chief Sitting Bull disproves Annie's theory that You can't get a man with a gun, by pointing to the bent front sight and saying, You'll get a man with this gun. She does, too! The supporting cast included Iohn Stephenson, Pat Korns, Wilma Yanus, Iack Bollington, Charles Mintmier, and members of Buffalo Bill's troupe, cowgirls, cowboys and Indians. , W,-gy. ,- , STAGE CREW Take a peek at some of the stage crew who seldom appeared in the spotlight but Whose efficient work helped to make our plays, assemblies, concerts, and other programs more effective and enjoyable. These boys took care of the many duties that every stage production requires, often Working long hours to get the stage set just right. PROIECTOR BOYS Caught in action on location! These are some of the boys Who assist in the visual aid program of the school. They operate the pro- jector for movies in assemblies and help with the movies for class room instruction. WN Q8 45 0 QR My gn vi if Vo SCHOOL BANK These girls, under the capable supervision of Mr. Beckley, handle the funds of the high school and grade schools. Mary lane Ceryak, Wilma Kosco, Ianice Miller, Ruby Punchak and Marilyn Yoder, are the competent bankers who are kept busy each sixth period attending to all financial affairs.

T. H. S. under the direction of Miss Blanche Shaffer. It is through these organizations that many students became acquainted with the World of music. The Iunior and Senior High Choruses are the largest school organizations and the Senior High Chorus is the largest school chorus in Somerset County. It is from these organizations that students are picked for the various vocal groups, such as the Choir, Girls' and Boys' Trio, Boys' Quartet, and the Iunior and Senior Girls' Ensemble, which sing not only at school activities but also at various community affairs. The C. T. H. S. choir, which is in its fifth season, consists of sixty-two members. The choir gives an average of eighteen concerts a year at various churches and schools. This year at the Somerset County Teachers' Institute, the choir had the opportunity of presenting a concert. It also gave a concert for the Thanksgiving Assembly at Somerset High School and an addi- tional one at Westmont. After much preparation and hard Work during the year, these vocal groups present to the public the Annual Spring Concert which is the largest musical feature of the school year. I STHUMENTAL HHH P We next enter, by Way of our video, the studios ot C. T. H. S.'s instru- mental department, directed by Maestro Iohn S. Salay, Ir. Here We get a front seat view of the marching band which adds color and pageantry to our football season. Alter the football season is over more emphasis is placed on the Concert Band which is the largest of the instrumental groups. Other organizations for musically inclined students include the Swing Band, Iunior Band, Assembly Band, which provides music at the assembly programs, and the Orchestra that plays tor the annual Iunior and Senior Class Plays. To avoid any possible monotony from so many bands, our music depart- ment has a Brass Ensemble and a Trumpet Quartet who play in various as- sembly and civic programs. Select students are chosen each year to participate in the annual All- County and Central-Western Music Festivals. These organizations not only give the students a chance to become acquainted with other schools but they strive to educate the students' minds to the better class of music. One senior, Lester Moore, was selected this year to play with the All- State Band which met at Pennsylvania State Teachers' College. DEP HTME TS Let us take you by our video, on a tour through the class rooms of our school. This is C. T. H. S. as We see it and as We live in it. No matter when you might come into our school, you would see something very much like the scenes on the next few pages. The varied curriculum ot our school helps to keep minds and bodies alert, meets the needs ot each individual student, and meets the requirements of a fully-accredited high school. SIIIE IIE May We have a peek at that, too? This is a scene in one ot the sci- ence laboratories Where many students learn such interesting things about the World in which they live. The department includes general science, biology, physics, academic and general chemistry. Because of the interest ac- quired in science through these courses, many students are led to choose some phase of scientific Work for their careers. HT Here we see the art department in action putting the finishing touches on the train they made for the Christmas dance! This department has for its major objective the development of the individual. Students learn to express themselves in creative Work. The Work of this department can be appreciated in the fine art designs of the annual yearbook, in the program designs used for plays and other programs and in the many projects on display at all times in the art room. Each year the art students participate in the Western Pennsylvania Regional Scholastic Exhibition in Pittsburgh. This year the department was pleased to announce eleven place Winners and three Key Winners in the regional exhibit. SUIII I. SEIE EE In our fast-moving age no country in the World is more than twenty-tour hours away. This makes the knowledge ot the histories of other countries vitally important. There- tore, our teachers stress the need ot linking the past histories of other countries to the present. The course covers Civics, Pennsyl- vania, American, and World history, and problems of democracy. Teachers believe that a Well-informed student is one Who has a knowledge not only of past conditions but of the present as Well. Thus, current events is cr topic most popular in the history classroom. Certain days of the Week are designated to study current events so as to keep the students abreast of all world happenings. By capital- izing on the mistakes made in past history, perhaps our students, during their lifespans, can learn to steer the ship of state safely and make the history books fifty years hence boast of a tree, sate, and democratic World. E BLISH Let's look in on the English classes! Four years oi Work in English are required for graduation, because, after all, what subject is more important than the study ot one's na- tive language? Grammar and literature in senior high have come a long Way from the days of the original three R's. The application of audio-visual education in the Way ot movies and recordings is being used more extensively in the study of English literature from the Anglo-Saxon Age up to the Twentieth Century. All Who have the opportunity Will experience a new thrill in Watching Hamlet and Macbeth on the screen. Because of their ability to interpret the many details of the picture, Shakespeare's England is brought closer to those of the train- ed. mind. Investigative themes-one-time-horror of all seniors-have been made a more Worth-while and interesting project through Writing them by the Workshop method. Public speaking, too, is actually fun because the talks are given in the form of panel discussions, book reviews, monologues, and sketches. We feel that the English Department of Conemaugh Township High School is ably pre- paring us tor the modern world. EUMMEHEI L Office machines, typewriters, mimeograph machines-all these are a part of learning skills of the commercial department. The purpose of the business education which this de- partment offers is to train those who plan to make their living in the business field, in a work- able degree of skill in shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping. The courses include train- ing for business as a career, specific information about office and store Work, Working con- ditions and office decorum, job seeking information and promotion possibilities. ln addition, the department provides a practical training concerning every-day business relationships, such as consumer business information, buying and selling goods, service and insurance. Through cooperation with employment agencies and services, attempts are made to place qualified students in Work situations for which they are best suited. During the Christ- mas holidays, on-the-job training in various stores in the Iohnstown area is made available Whenever possible. HU E EIIIINUMIIIS What is that delicious aroma through the halls? Don't you know? . . . That's coming from the home economics department. Classes in this depart- ment emphasize personal groomingg planning, managing, and furnishing the home, food and clothing needs, child care, the use of textiles and skills in serving. The cooking classes get practical experience in planning, preparing, and serving lunches and banquets for school affairs. This year they were hostesses to a faculty tea, and to the faculty and consultants on Career Day as Well as many other delightful affairs. They also participated in the Apple Pan Dowdy contest, Which is a state Wide affair. They are members of the Future Homemakers of America in which they are very active. They are participating in money-making projects to send a representative to the state convention in Harrisburg. LANGUAGE Whether it is the gay Saludes, Amigos of the Spanish or the more sedate Pax vobiscum of the Latin, the students are learning to express themselves and to read in other languages. The knowledge of foreign language is becoming more and more important as the world is being drawn closer together by means of the airplane, telegraph, and radio. In keeping with this trend, the language department at Conemaugh Township has been emphasizing the practical application of the languages taught. Most of the conversation in the Spanish classes is carried on in Spanish, rather than in English. Reading Roman myths, and studying Roman customs are important factors in the Latin classes. Through a knowledge of Latin, the study of other languages becomes easier. Two year courses of Spanish and of Latin are offered in our school. MATHEMATICS The Pythagorean theorem Works this Way, boys. In recent years people have become in- creasingly more aware of the importance of the basic subjects of the school, one of which is mathematics. This trend of thinking has been brought about by the increasing demand for scientists, engineers, technicians, and crafts- men. Much of this demand has come from in- dustry. But no matter what occupation our stu- dents may choose, they Will find that two of the greatest assets in lite are clear thinking and sound reasoning. The study of mathema- tics assists in the development of both. The department includes general mathema- tics, plane geometry, algebra I and II, solid geometry, trigonometry, shop mathematics and business mathematics. VUIHTIUNAL AEHIII LTUHE Did you happen to notice, as you entered, the attractive grounds surrounding our school? The Ag boys are responsible for those beautiful trees and shrubbery around our building. One of the many duties of these boys working in vocational agriculture is to care for the shrubbery at the high school and the grade school buildings. This department is very important in a high school such as ours which serves a rural community. Its purpose is to prepare the student to enter the field of agricultural produc- tion and encourage him to become a specialist in his own field. It covers such subjects as dairying, poultry, husbandry, animal husbandry, and crop production with emphasis placed on land use, fertilization, and soil conservation. The vocational agriculture courses prepare the students Who expect to return to the farms as owner-operators or farm managers. The boys belong to the Future Farmers of America, participating in the activities of that organization. They attend the farm shows, give at least four radio broadcasts a year, plant many things, including evergreen, seedlings, service tractors, and do numerous other jobs. LBS THESPIAN SOCIETY, TROUPE 412 These students are members of an outstand- ing nation-Wide organization. New students do not volunteer for membership, but are care- fully chosen, by standing members, on the basis of their participation in plays, assemblies, and other dramatic presentations. The Thespians annually present a Charity Play, proceeds from which go to a deserving charity. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association was organ- ized to promote female interest in sports and gymastics. Any senior high girl with an A in physical education is eligible for member- ship. Letters are awarded to those senior girls who have earned a required number of points. Y-TEENS The Alpha and Beta Y-Teen Clubs are affili- ated with the Y. W. C. A. They have as their purpose clean living, clean thinking, and schol- arship. At their meetings they discuss teen-age problems which confront them. They partici- pate in the many activities sponsored by the Iohnstown Y. W. C. A. RIFLE CLUB The Indian Biflemen Won in two matches with Berlin-Brothersvalley and scalped Som- erset twice. They are the victors in Division The boys are looking ahead to the Re- gional match at Kane on March 28, when they will compete against Meadville, Clearfield, and Bradford. The winner of this match will compete with three other regional winners for the State Championship to be held at DuBois on April ll, 1953.

CLASS HISTIJHY The class of '53 has spent some happy years at CTHS. There were difficulties to be sur- mounted, of course, but looking back, happiness crowds out any unpleasantness and the picture is a happy one. The dream iso far distant, unattainable such a few years agoi is becoming an actuality and we now see the realization of our hopes. Our grade-school days were over in September, l946, for that date marks the beginning of an eventful six years at CTHS. During seventh and eighth grades we learned to know the school, its activities, and each other, so that by ninth grade we had established ourselves as an important part of CTHS. The freshman year shows us taking a more active part in school life. For the first time we elected class officers. Our president was Iohn Backman, vice-president, Pat Keithg secretary, Ianet Smithg and treasurer, Iack Bollington. We chose Miss Lohr and Mr. Terebus to advise us. A skat- ing party was the first activity of the class. To climax our Freshman year, we chose two class- mates to receive the Good Citizenship Award-Pat Keith and Iohn Backman. How proud we were of these two! As Sophomores, the outstanding event was the Christmas Dance. Do you remember how hard we worked even up to the last minute to get those stars done on time to decorate the gym for that dance? In February we chose Gloria Golden as Sophomore Queen for the Valentine Dance. All will agree the Iunior year was a busy one. We were represented in all activities- sports, music, drama, art, journalism, etc. Our football players distinguished themselves by help- ing to win the Mountain League Conference. The Iunior Class play, Green Valley, was a great success with Wilma Yanus and Edgar Carrico in the leading roles. We selected Doris Reck- ner as Iunior Queen for the Valentine Dance. But, like every class, the social high spot of the year was the prom. Our theme was Moonlight and Roses, and the beautiful decorations and excellent art work made the gym, indeed, a romantic garden. And now, the long awaited day has come-at last we are Seniors and have neared the end of our high school careers. The year started off with a bang in the Senior play, Annie, Get Your Gun starring Pat Cochrane and Bill Petro. Some of our class will be the last of the original CTHS Thespian members to be graduated. Pat Cochrane was chosen as Queen of the Valentine dance which we sponsored. Our many Senior class memories will include such things as the ex- change of pictures, name cards, the prom, class day, baccalaureate, and finally, commence- ment. We shall never forget, either, classes, homework, and our teachers who have helped us to- ward our goal. Yes, we owe so much to our dear Alma Mater. She has prepared each of us for a responsible place in society and we only hope that we shall be able to do her credit. We, the Class of '53, hope that the classes following us will attain even greater achievements for the glory of CTHS. 11 Mrs. Barron Mr. Shank JUNIUHS They have almost reached their goal line! The past years at C. T. H. S. have meant much activity for these Iuniors, especially getting ready for the prom. Their leaders were Ronald Harmon, Presidentg Richard Horner, Vice Presi- dentg Linda Haas, Secretaryg and Ioan Kelly, Treasurer. Good luck to next year's Seniors!

Handi- capped by lack of experience during the early months of the season, this year's squad did not measure up to the standards set by Coach Terebus's powerhouses of the preceding three yearsp nevertheless, it closed the season with a rush-but too late to recapture the Mountain and Western Conference titles. The Warriors' advancement during the second half of the season is amply proven by the fact that they outscored their first five opponents by only a 88-86 mark, while the last five opponents were soundly thrashed, 165-53. Since both teams were unbeaten during the 1951 season, the Tribe's opening game against Lewistown was watched with interest from all parts of the State. As was the case throughout the early portion of the season, inexperience played a major role in this first defeat suffered by the Indians in a long time. After victories over Boswell and Ferndale, the Warriors ran into another stumbling block in the form of the Ebensburg Red-Devils, who walked away with a very decisive score. The Tribe broke even in the next two games, first gaining a four point decision over Westmont, and then losing by the same mar- gin to Windber. Immediately after the defeat at the hands of Windber, the Indians began to show signs of life. In the best game of the season they scored an impressive win over a strong Adams Township team. However, it was not until the Shade Township game that the Warriors made full use of their potential power. In this game, they humbled the district's last unbeat- en, untied team, to the tune of 45-7, and in the process, held Fred Chicado scoreless. This in itself was quite a feat, for Chicado, the dis- trict's leading scorer, had been averaging more than 20 points per game. The final game was more or less anti- climatic, even though the Indians trampled Somerset by a good margin. Twelve players ended their high school gridiron careers against Somerset. They are: Rich Kaufman, Iohn Stephenson, George Pe- poy, Bill Petro, Nello Rimoldi, Iohn Backman, Lou Benvenuti, Roger Fish, Ioe Ellingsworth, Ed Carrico, Iim Devine, and Ron Harmon. Both Stephenson and Pepoy were named to the Tribune All-Scholastic team. George is also the first player from our school to be named to the first team All-State eleven. He received this honor while playing on the 1951 squad. in L. -1 Ju L 4, ROW ROW ROW ROW Qi VARSITY Managers R. Yoder, R. Grabusnik, S. Prysicxsniuk 1- 2-Coach Terebus, I. Devine, I. Ellingsworth, B.

May SCHEDULE Richland Westmont Shade Iohnstown Boswell Richland Iohnstown Somerset Alumni Ebensburg Westmont Indiana Windber Ferndale Indiana Windber Ferndale Shade Somerset Despite the fact that they could meet with victory in only five of their twenty games. the 1952-53 basketball squad was much stronger than their record indicated. A point overlook- ed by the record book is that Coach Colliver's proteges lost five games by only three points or less. Had these games been entered in the victory column, the Indian dribblers would have rung up their best season in several years. Some of the outstanding games this year were the 55-54 loss to Shade, two victories over Indiana, and both games with Somerset. Other thrillers were the close scores with Richland, Ferndale, Alumni, and Westmont. The main difficulty with this year's squad was a defensive lag. Throughout the year, the Indians' opponents averaged 65.4 points per game. In only two games were the opponents held to less than 50 points, while on seven occasions they scored 70 points or more. On the other hand, the Indians averaged 55.8 points per game, making the 52-53 cagers the most proficient scorers our school has ever had. Individually, the single game scoring record was tied once and broken twice during the course of the season. Telenko tied Andy Kalminar's school record of 28 points, during the Iohns- town game. However, Cable's 32 points in the first Indiana game, and 34 points in the second Ferndale game first set and reset a new mark. Players participating in their last high school basketball game and Nello Rimoldi, Dick Shirey, Steve Sepety, Stan Shilling, Paul Kutchman, and Fred Negast. Telenko, Cable, Springer, and Semivan will return to spark next year's team. With four lettermen returning to next year's squad, our basketball team should be well on its way to becoming a power in the district sports world. B SHETB LL VARSITY ROW l-C. Reese, G. Semivcm, D.

After two successive years as District V champions, the Indians bowed to Windber in the Dis- trict tournament held at Everett High School. Captain Mitch Scipioni and Tom Coachman, both un- defeated this season, Will represent Conemaugh Township at Clearfield when the District V champs compete in the Regional tournament. Scipioni has been unbeaten in dual meet competition since 1950. racking up 45 straight decisions. Coachman has 20 straight Wins. The Winners at Clearfield, will travel to Penn State to compete for the state title. The Indian success streak of 22 consecutive Wins was stopped this year by Somerset on the Somerset mats. Another streak of consecutive home victories Was broken With the loss to Blairs- ville, which was the first time since 1949 that the Indian Wrestlers have been beaten on their home mats.

TH EH Competing in six track meets during the 1952 season, Coach Kelly's trackmen again proved a strong contender in district track circles. The Tribe started the season by capturing fourth place in the Coaches' Meet at Cochran. In the Tri-County and Iunior Pitt meets, the cindermen again gained fourth spot among district Class A schools. In these meets, the Indians usually were competing against a dozen of the district's top track teams. The Warriors also engaged in a pair of dual meets, losing to Somer- set-SUZ to SSM, and then trimming Windber-58-42. In the final meet of 1952, the Tribe was forced to settle for a runner- up spot, as the strong Somerset team took top honors. This Was only the fourth time in fourteen years that the Indians failed to cop the District 5 title. During the course of the year, Bob Verna broke two school records in field events. His 145 feet-8 inch-mark in the discus and 46 feet 9 inch toss in the shot put set new standards in these events. Verna led the track team in scoring with 54 3X4 points, while Riley's 321!z points gave him second place. Bob Verna, Rudy Meyers, Lynn Fyock, Bill Riley, and Boyd Custer fin- ished their high school track careers in the final match of 1952. Only three lettermen will return to the 1953 track team, but the addition of several ex- perienced underclassmen will bolster our track hopes for next year. SIIHUUL STIQIHE Popcorn! Pop! Hot Dogs!
