X X X X X X X IX X 3 X ] Mr. Charles E. Boyer Principal of Johnstown High School A FINE GENTLEMAN LEADS THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS AT J. H. S. Second floor, and the elevator stops. Here is found the office of Mr. Charles E. Boyer, principal of the Johnstown High School. Mr. Boyer displays those marks of a worthy educator as he employs his experience to direct our school. By his quiet, dignified manner and integrity, our principal has earned the full respect of all who know him. His friendly disposition puts us at ease as he un- tangles our problems. Mr. Boyer looks optimistical- ly toward the future, having great faith in today's youth. He wants the students to be passengers on the elevator of knowledge, that we may as- cend to a goal, the top floor—Success. Miss Jessie M. Tomb Administrative Assistant EFFICIENCY . . . KEY WORD OF FOURTH FLOOR OFFICE The office of Miss Jessie M. Tomb, our able Administrative Assistant, is located on the fourth floor. Here, the thousand and one details of school life are attended to with calm efficiency under Miss Tomb's supervision. Her wise counselship and guidance have steadied us through the year as we made Johnstown High School our second home. The many problems that confront the student are vanished by careful analysis. Thus, our elevator stops here while our Administrative Assistant makes sure that its ascension to that top floor— Success—will be a smooth one. jood 5uidanai and QohJuudt founAsdinq Wlak A (oa a cpod C yw Leit to right—Miss Alice Gocher, Guidance Counselor, talks with Joan Malec, senior student.

The English Department gives the student the culture, the background and the understanding he needs to make the best of his life, and not just the most of it. From the thundering, bloody, fantastic, boastful Beowulf to the intense thrillers of W. Somerset Maugham we meet exciting people. We learn new ways of life and listen to the sage philosophy of the Bard of Stratford. Naturally at first, we didn't understand exactly what the author had in mind, but under the direction of our able instructors we learned—and we understood. Now Shakespeare's Macbeth and Chaucer's Wife of Bath are part of our culture. Probably the most feared, the most dreaded, the most anticipated day of our senior year was the day we were to start the theme. Once the research actual- ly began the project became exciting and almost like a fascinating game. In the end we had learned to use the card catalogue, the Reader's Guide, and last, but not least, we completed a satisfying project. By reading the works of the English masters and learning the correct sen- tence structures we have become bigger and better people. The knowledge we gained in English is for life, and so education should be for life. A history class in session. (2 lAnii jd (jJohhd JJvwuqk 2UAh)Ay History is always in the making. A day never passes without something happening that will be recorded in the written annals of man's progress. A knowledge of history is necessary today no matter what field the student intends to specialize in. Ancient history enlarges our vague knowledge of the strange men who inhabited the earth when written history was unknown and the early chapters of the history books were being lived. World history informs us of the progress of the various governments of the modern world. In Problems of Democracy the students learn the intricate pattern of his own government. This enables him to be a better citizen and to be of greater service to his country. English history is a progress study of that little island on the Atlantic and the empire that she built. The chairman of the History Department is Miss Margaret Evans. History is no longer considered a dry, uninteresting subject but a means of helping to make the world a better place to live. Mr. Raymond Morgan discusses visual aids with student teacher, Janet Hutzel Krich Sfw d and dajVtaaj .... — i These are the watchwords of the Commercial Department. Nimble fingers and alert minds of future business men and women are ever busy with a task that must be done, and done well. These students learn that speed is essential, but only when it goes hand in hand with accuracy, a lesson that could well be applied to any pro- ject in life. Commercial students know the true meaning of hard work. What bookkeep- ing student has not spent hours trying to find the error that spoils his trial bal- ance? What future stenographer has not practiced shorthand characters and brief forms until she could write them in her sleep? What typist has not torn paper after paper from his machine, striving for a perfect copy. All this work, however, is not done in vain. Each well-spent hour is a step- ping stone toward a final goal—success in the field of business. J'adA and JoodA fo i tyou . . . Are you one of those unlucky gals who can't sew a straight seam, but like lots of clothes in the latest fashion? If you are, trot down to the sewing room, and pick up some useful traits. Under the direction of Miss Katherine Laine, the girls of J. H. S. learn to create and design their own duds and at the same time save on mother's pocketbook. Since eating has become a regular habit in life, need we say cooking is es- sential too. Can't you picture yourself preparing a delicious turkey dinner? Well, it can be done. After receiving instructions from Miss Nancy Ellsworth you will be ready to tackle this task without difficulty.

But what- ever it be you will always see the healthy looking students taking par! in every activity. The course is taken twice a week. Students not only learn the fundamentals of exer- cise, but also gain knowledge of body function and the importance of proper meals and diet. Qualities of co-operation and leadership are developed as well as body building. The gym classes are active all day and they have the most modern equipment available. Through the careful planning of its instructors, the course keeps the boys and girls in physical fitness. All students are required to take physical education. Coordination, co- operation, and calisthenics make for a healthy member of school and society. M Art Class in action •a Dramatics Class entertains Mr. Charles Aikey demonstrates for musical group OuA tfuLtwial Subj ctA Our cultural subjects make up the Fine Arts Department. Art, Music, Dramatics, and Journalism help provide the necessary culture for all students attending our school. Mrs. Madge Rose teaches us that Art is a subject of concentration and ideas. Johnstown High School has received many awards for its fine artistic work. Music also demands power of concentration in order to produce. Miss Mary Weaver teaches her students to appreciate the value of music by conducting a fine chorus that entertains us on special occasions. Miss Edith Paul has given us the honor of seeing many of the fine plays she has pre- sented through the National Thespians. All of the students participating in this organiza- tion have shown that they have an outstanding talent. Miss Elvina Owen, journalism instructor, advises editors of the yearbook and the Centralizer as to the best way to express oneself. The teaching of creative writing and newspaper writing make up the course. Sinqinq (ilhik Jh q ii)okh In the Foreign Language Department students have the opportunity of learning Spanish, Latin, or French. Learning to say “goodbye in Latin, Spanish and French may be easily acquired, but learning to speak the language fluently and to understand what is said is a hard task. The J. H. S. Language Department has tried to make the course more enjoyable to the student by enlightening him with characteristics of the people whose lan- guage they have been learning. Another interest that enters in the language course is the singing of songs in the language studied. As the year progresses the student is required to have a class project which deals with his language. And as the school year closes the student will look back to the days at the “Old Grind and he will remember nothing but pleasant memories. (2 (Bsdi h JomoJUww JhJwiiqh IWathsimahcA Mathematics is the key to many of our accomplishments in this day and age of guided missiles, destructive bombs, and planes flying faster than sound and shrinking our precious world. In our homes, mathematics is the key to the many helpful mechanisms and medicines that provide us a more comfort- able and happier living. We find that all these achievements could not be placed on the stage of our daily life, if the use of figures were eliminated. These brain projects of Man could not be invented, discovered and safely used without the analysis and induction of mathematics. As new methods and discoveries become necessary to meet the ever increasing demands of the changing world, men will administer the princi- ple of mathematics—when new inventions and new modes of life introduce new objects, numbers must be applied! Spanish Class has a good time. JJw S 'smai (D puvrfjmni Clarity—the key to successful scientific study The Science Department endeavors to aid its classes by all means pos- sible in achieving a worthwhile general knowledge of the sciences. The students profit greatly by actual demonstration, making use of modern equip- ment and adequate supplies. First-hand and up-to-date information is readily available to the classes through the department's excellent collection of mag- azines and books. Clarity of instruction is provided by the regular showing of physics and chemistry movies. Related physics and related chemistry are tied in as closely as possible to practical work in actual shop courses. It is remarkable that in a school as large as ours, personal advancement is en- couraged by permitting the student extra time in the chemistry laboratory. The Science Department is proud and happy that many graduates from Johnstown High School are now filling positions of importance in the world of Science. This year, four high school students competed in the difficult Westinghouse Science Talent Search. An examination, conducted by the Sci- ence Department, was administered by the Science Service for the Westing- house Science Scholarships.

Uccjaiwnal (BoyA Jhain $oA J'lduAs Jhad A If you were to walk along the first floor hall of our school, you would see a mass of doors leading to the various shops. Behind these doors, under the super- vision of trained instructors, boys learn the various trades which they have chosen from the wide selec- tion offered them. In the Vocational course, the boys have a choice of plumbing, printing, electric, auto, machine, metal, or wood shop. Along with their shop experience they take many other courses which will supply their aca- demic needs such as English, mathematics, physics, and history. This course gives training not only in the trade the boy has chosen, but it also gives a basic training for any shop or industry he may wish to enter. Many graduates from the Vocational Department at J. H. S. have made a name for themselves in their chosen trade. 4® I $ 6 BETTY JANE ABRAHAM— lnkspot. Commercial Course. Chorus. Y-Teens.

The staff has never failed in meet- ing necessary requests. When called upon to produce in special medium, such as, water color, oil, pastel, charcoal, or ink, the staff came through in flying colors, with both imagination and fantasy. With every stroke of the brush, with every ruled line of a pencil, came the consideration, to please. With fundamentals foremost in mind, the Art Staff began work on this yearbook. As the semesters passed, there existed no subject too complicated for their ability, for they possess that uninhibited freedom which is a qual- ity of every artist. It is with high standards that they, the Art Staff, present the art work throughout the Spectator. . . . . UJlih Qam ia and Jla hbulb Watch the birdie! And the students of Johnstown High School watched while the photographs for the Spec- tator were being taken. The photographer was none other than John D. Hesselbein, one of Johnstown's most prominent lensman. But who were these energetic characters assist- ing the photographer in his large job? Why the photography staff, who else? This group, under the direction of Mrs. John Bowes, has the job of aiding the photographer and ar- ranging the finished pictures in the correct order in which they are arranged in the yearbook. The members of the staff include: Photography Editor, Nancy DeFrehn, Michael Davis, Gary Evans, Ronald Gate- house, Joanne Yuhas and Janet Brehm, and Joan Better- man.

SdwlaAA oft thu Juiuha The Honor Society of Johnstown High School is the Touchstone Chapter of National Honor Society. The chief purpose of this noteworthy organization is to be- stow recognition on those students who maintain a high scholastic standing in the school. It consists entirely of senior members and is under the competent sponsor- ship of Miss Mary D. Glenn. Honor Society members are selected by the faculty on the basis of their schol- arship, leadership and character. The roster of students who measure up to the high standards of the club is usually announced in February of each school year. This year the club is composed of twenty-eight members. Annually the club holds an installation banquet and also presents an assem- bly program. Officers for the year 1953 are President, Nancy McHugh; Vice Presi- dent, Allan Roshon; Secretary, Shirley Venetsky, and Treasurer, Ronald Rankin. S nwA $1aIa (x)ith QdsualA . . . The famous Greek words To Kaaron Enomeoa which mean We Seek the Beau- tiful is the motto of twenty senior girls. These girls, chosen each year on the basis of leadership, ability, scholarship, and per- sonality become members of the T. K. E. Club. The members of this club abide by their motto by seeking for beauty and value in every walk of life. Miss Sophia Moiles is the faculty ad- viser of this honorary society whose pur- pose is to get senior girls better acquainted with each other.

A representative and an alter- nate are elected from each home room. A good representative possesses leader- ship qualities and does at least fair school work. The Council meets once every two weeks during a class period which is announced in the daily bulletin. Student Coun- cil tries to be an active organization, carrying on all the activities which seem to contribute something to our school. Banners are awarded each six weeks by the Girls' and Boys' Vice-Presidents to home rooms excelling in scholarship and attend- ance. Clean-up campaigns, special assemblies, and student social affairs are plan- ned and sponsored by this group each year. John A. McHugh, the group sponsor, is always ready with helpful suggestions and guidance. dki J fwm Jth (phiniinq (phsi A The Graphic Arts Club has Mr. Joseph B. Croyle as sponsor. Its members come from the Printing Shop at J. H. S. and meet Tuesdays of every other week. The officers are: President—Leonard La Porta, Vice President— Edward Miller, Secretary—Lloyd Hughes, Assistant Secretary—David Lambert, Treasurer—Ronald Griffith, Assistant Treasurer—Eric Hep- born. A red-letter week on the Graphic Arts calendar is January 11-17 when they honor National Printing Education Week, which is held in honor of Benjamin Franklin who was bom on the 17th day of January. During this week members of the G. A. put on an assembly program. They also hold their 17th annual banquet on January 15 in the cafeteria. All this is topped off by a skating party, and an exhibit of the students' work from the Print Shop is displayed. VVhiAk TYlmAiJw, (PI jclaq! Did you say you heard angels singing? Well, they weren't exactly angels, but they do sing heavenly music. Of course we're referring to the Girls' Chorus. Another one of the activi- ties for the J. H. S. music student is the Chorus directed by Mr. Charles I. Aikey- Mr- Aikey now directs the chorus in two separate groups. The first group which consists of forty-four girls meets every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; the sec- ond group consisting of thirty-two girls meets every Thursday and Friday in the school auditorium. The chorus includes both senior and junior girls. The accompanists are Carmenita Aus- tin, Donna Marcks, Juanita Gethers, and Donna Jean Beaner. An annual Christmas program was presented in the school auditorium. Several other programs were presented during the school term. Selections from the Spring Concert were: Get Happy, “Sugar and Spice, “I Would Remember, “Mem- ories, and “Bless This House. QhohJULA Quality of music selection—quality performance Although there have been certain limitations this year, the chorus has achieved artistic results. A complete lack of tenors has been overcome, in part, by the use of high-range bari- tones and well-equipped alto voices. The chorus has con- tinued its policy of singing at local service clubs and at the secondary schools. While it did not present the entire Christmas assembly, as has been its annual custom, a group from the chorus sang several numbers at the close of the program. So successful were the achievements of the chorus at last year's Commence- ment programs, that it has been the ambition of every mem- ber to attain parallel distinction in 1953. Miss Mary Weaver, director, acquaints the chorus with all types of worthy choral literature, comparable to types of English literature. Her chief aim, however, is to have the group so well trained that it can present a program in good taste, with plus values for chorus and audiences- They put Vitamin B into school activities £oif r (pep (flul) (pack (punch . . . Only the Boys' Pep Club can boast after its initiation the inability of its new members to sit down for an entire week- Initiation cere- monies consisted of a vigorous paddle-brigade followed by a great variety of delicious concoctions. Boys bubbling over with P-E-P and excitement furnished the punch behind every football and basketball game. The club united with the Girls' Pep Club in order to provide J. H. S. students with some bang-up Pep Rallies. In the fall the fellas' sponsored one of the best gym dances of the year. A tremendous crowd enjoyed fun, food, and music. No matter where you are, there is bound to be at least one of Rod Berkey's tribe to inject the traditional spirit and good-will of the Boys' Pep Club into the atmosphere. “you ffl-c-p . . . p p The Girls' Pep Club is one of the most popular clubs at J. H. S„ composed of a limited membership. The purposes of the group are to promote clean sportsmanship, pep, and co-operation in school life. All cheerleaders are honorary members. Two of their biggest events each year include a traditional initia- tion ceremony and a semi-formal Christmas dance. This year's initia- tion was a howling success. Thirty strange looking beings painted with lipstick, shoe polish, and any other goo available, and garbed like a character out of Dogpatch, were seen kneeling or crawling through the halls. The ceremony the night before included a parade across town attired in their formal dress, and finally dancing at the Teen Canteen. Besides these successful events, our pepsters help spread school spirit and pep throughout the student body. They are usually found at the football and basketball games, helping to cheer our Trojans on to victory- S wicc io ihsi fommunih} . . . Senior Y-Teens centered their attention around service this year. The girls, in their white aprons, were appreciated at district hospitals for their kindness, willingness to help, and cheery smiles. Many helped the Y. W. C. A. with activities including the annual Y-Teen Carnival, the ceremony of the Hanging of the Greens at Christmas, various teas, and by serving on adult boards. Each senior Y-Teen has a little sister. After initiating her, the girls often become close friends, with the older Y-Teen help- ing her sister through any difficulty she may encounter at Johnstown High. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Joanette Roslan Shockey. ty-JsswA dim foh JhimdA, JfdlcwAhip, and Jan Junior girls find the Y-Teen club especially helpful in disco v-——| ering new friends at Johnstown High. This year they combined ■ fun, and fellowship by holding a dance with a can of food serv-H ing as admission. This food went to needy families for Thanks- giving dinner. The girls sent candy bars to Europe and made toys for hos- pitalized children for Christmas. The capable leaders are Geneva Grossi, President; Frances Bonjiavonni, Vice President; Barbara James, Secretary; Mary An- drews, Assistant Secretary; Rose Calderone, Treasurer; Jane Gal- braith, Assistant Secretary; Shelby Wilson and Sonia Walters, Inter-club Council Representatives.

The club is composed of fifty-four members who have sponsored many events in the school and community throughout the year, the most notable of which were the mock elec- tion, and career day. The 1953 officers were Ed Sheehan, president and also state lieutenant governor; Roger Meyers, vice-president; David Emerick, secretary; James Demitras, treasurer; and Mr. Ralph Gillman, advisor.

By the time the semester has opened, the high-stepping group, dressed in brilliant blue and black uniforms, accented with shiny silver buttons, is ready for their first drill performance. At each and every football game the people of Johnstown can expect a fine performance from their band- To top off the season the musically-inclined students give an annual concert. Here again music for millions pour forth from the bright brass instruments. The se- lections played are of a variety from the classical right down to the snappy march music. The Johnstown High School band usually consists of 80 to 100 members. At the beginning of each season, band officers are elected. This seasons officers were Jim Roser, president; Bob Aikey, vice-president; and Suzanne Koehler, secretary and treasurer. To give Mr Aikey a helping hand, the band elects a student director and an assistant student director. They were William Scheleny and Ermil Hill. Before the beginning of each football game.

As part of their training these “Angels of Mercy perform voluntary work at each of the four Johns- town hospitals—Mercy, Memorial, Lee, and Raymond. Under the full command of the nurses they learn to do the chores that accompany the honor of being a nurse, among which are the feeding and entertaining of children and other appreciative patients, and seeing that they are comfortable at all times. The Nurses of Tomorrow, together with the Latin classes, have been instrumental in promoting various charitable projects, such as the distribution of Christ- mas stockings to hospitalized children and orphans, and the Easter fund which provides for other charitable works. There is no doubt that this club has long ago surpassed its aim. Hats off to you N- T.!

We kill and injure more civilians here, at home, in the same period of time, than the casualties of the recent World War. One way by which we can combat these mishaps is to help form good habits from the start. Mr. Philip Gettys, instructor of Johnstown High's Driving Club, aids in the fight against car accidents. His students prepare for their future driving years by forming sound traffic practices and perfect their qualities of social re- sponsibility, road courtesy, and good attitudes from the start. His seven-period-a-week classes receive the correct information and know how and discuss the problems involving the automobile, vital data that could not be received from an impatient, misleading instructor. They are equipped with the necessary knowledge to be a safe, self-controlled driver on America's highways. They, now, make driving their business. ctiqhJtA! (P ocxa! fiction! National Thespians Troupe 660 of the Johnstown High School is one of the twelve thousand troupes throughout the United States and is composed of one-hundred and twen- ty members this year. It is sponsored by Miss Edith Paul. Officers of the club are: Joseph Kiser, president; James Jarvie, vice president; Nancy McHugh, secretary; Naomi Paige, treasurer; Shirley Venetsky, scribe; Maxine Strange, his- torian. The troup's big project of the year was the production of a three-act comedy entitled, Men Are Like Streetcars directed by Mr. Robert Dittmar. This play, involving the troubles of a teen-age girl and her sister, starred Joan Betteman and Nancy McHugh. It was pre- sented to a large audience on December 12th, 1952. The troupe gained wide fame in the United States and Canada in the past year by winning several national awards for the best action picture, the best character picture, and the best program of any National Thespian troupe in the United States. These awards which totaled about $100 in prize money were won with pictures of our class play “June Graduate which was presented in the spring of 1952. J'hom th (phQAAQA Qom Oka ThwApafisA The Print Shop, taught and managed by Mr. Joseph B. Coyle, is one of the busiest places in the high school. If you were to enter room 125 you would find rather than just another school class, a thriving business. Inside the two large rooms, which comprise the Print Shop, goes on all the business of a commercial printing office or a small newspaper. Immediately upon entering, the click of the linotype blended with the clang and clank of the presses would reach your ears. In the composing room you would see boys bent over type cases, filling sticks with the type from which will come the numerous posters, booklets, and tickets which are printed for the use of the school. Our yearbook and the Centralizer are only a few of the important projects put out in this shop. Posi- tions in the shop are rotated from composing room to linotype to presses; al- though this may slow up the work some, it gives each boy an equal chance to learn all forms of printing. Jh y dfollinq . . . Located at Cochran and Garfield Junior High Schools, are the Auto Mechanics divisions of the Vocational Department. At Cochran, these classes are under the direction of Mr. C. E. Thomas. The boys at Garfield are taught by Mr. Frank Meyers. They learn the what's and why's of an automobile. Upon the completion of their course, there is no auto repair job beyond their mastery. This knowledge and experience is of great personal use, and many of the boys set up suc- cessful service stations of their own in later life. The course includes the learning, and understanding of each and every part of a car, the assembling of these parts, and their care. A boy may dwell on one particular phase of an automobile—the body, motor, or electrical system. Also included in the course is the proper way to wash and simonize a car. Very little book work is done by these boys, as they learn much from first-hand experience. Jhsuf JisuipL th U)faud of QndiLdJjiJL} JuAninq Anyone entering the Machine Shop here at Johnstown High would be sure to com- ment on the busy students working at their various machines. The shops of Johnstown High are rated high in the state because they are so well equipped and the Machine Shop is cer- tainly no exception. The course given in the shop offers practical training in machine work for ambitious young men who wish to enter into a field either in the local industries or those in other parts of the country. Quite often the Machine Shop provides parts and fittings for other departments in the school. There are many power tools in this shop such as lathes, a drill press, grinder and electric hack saw. These tools can be put to many uses and an alert student can learn to become quite proficient with many of them. £kdJik Shop On (Boom This year there are seventeen students who are taking the Electric Shop course. The boys, most of whom plan to go to Electric School, learn the fundamentals of electricity. It is not the mere knowledge of facts that makes a man educated, but the ability to apply the facts that he already knows. The boys get first-hand experience by actually work- ing with electricity under the supervision of Mr. Edward Salkeld. The student electricians wired the new school garage, and installed Dupex Receptacles in the class rooms. They rewind motors, tinker with radios, toastmasters, irons and home appliances. They also run the movie projector in room 227. Wiring arrangements are worked out with bells and buzzers. Jh UJoodwohk Shop a $ hviai to Jtha Community Mr. Clair H. Younkin, instructor, strives to give his boys industrial prac- tice that will be valuable to them after graduation in the woodworking field. Never a finger is lost as safety is continually stressed and combined with efficiency to produce. This shop is completely, modernly equipped, a new machine being added each year. Such things as stage props, tables, desks, and other wooden articles are built and repaired here for the city schools. Several thousand dollars worth of physical therapy equipment has been built by the Woodwork Shop for the City-County Clinic. For this purpose, specially designed articles—treatment tables, benches, chairs, plus many other ingen- ious devices are constructed for the use of cerebral palsy victims. From T-V cabinets to coffee tables, furniture and cabinet making form the main inter- ests for individual projects, the finished products examples of fine workman- ship. The boys mill their own rough lumber. The service the woodshop ren- ders is invaluable to the city schools, and to the students' future. IjJsddinq ih JidtuM with Shs -T lsdcd The boys of the Sheet Metal Shop, under the direction of Mr. Bruce Alter, are being trained to be the sheet metal tradesmen of the future. In this occupation safety can never be over emphasized for all are taught the safety principles. They are taught the correct and safe methods to bend, weld, cut, fold, seam, twist all types of metals, until the form desired has come into shape. Through the year these crafts- men have turned out products such as cups, dust pans, buckets, gar- bage cans, and waste paper baskets. As the student advances, he is taught the fundamentals of weld- ing. And as these boys graduate, they take with them the skill and knowledge of a sheet-metal tradesman. (Don't fcnvij thn (plwnbcA, (Bn Onn To learn from experience is the plumber's aim, and this aim is well satisfied at the Plumbing Shop at J. H. S. The boys learn the theory and drawing of plumbing, also prac- tical application which consists of soddering, pipe threading and cutting, joint wiping and many other factors the working plumber needs to know. The master plumbers now working on their own and in shops around town who were once students at J. H. S. are too numerous to mention. Mr. Miles shows the boys the why's and what's of the plumbing trade and hopes that everyone will become a master plumber and a credit to the community in which he lives.

On August 17, 1952, football coach Clark Shaffer and his staff of assistants, including Peter Fee, Michael Garbinski, Paul Abele, and Milan Svitchen, journeyed to Camp Reynolds, near Entriken, Pennsyl- vania. With them they took 56 anxious grid candidates, most of whom were as green as an Irishman on Saint Patrick's Day. At the start of the two sweat-filled weeks of hard, grinding, practice, the Men of Troy were without an experienced backfieldman or a capable punter. Only the high morale, spirit, and good general attitude among the squad kept hopes for a successful season high. As the practice session opened, the first team owned a weight aver- age of 167 pounds. Kneeling—Roy Stump, Mike Smajda. Standing—William McKinney, Bob Schuster, Bob Bellay. Three practice drills were held daily. This routine was followed six days a week, while Sundays were reserved for trips to church and visitors. When the two weeks of con- ditioning were completed, the squad returned home for 11 more days of practice before the opening game. On September 13, Clark Shaffer's tenth grid aggregation got down to business and walloped their initial opponent. Fifth Avenue of Pittsburgh, to the tune of 40-0. The follow- ing Saturday, South High—another Steel City grid aggregation—tasted defeat at the hands of the Somerset Street gridders. This time the final count was 53-0. The squad traveled to New Kensington the following Friday, and passed their first WPIAL test with flying colors, emerging on the heavy side of the final 19-7 score. The fourth Pale Blue and Black victim was Strong Vincent High, one of four Erie teams. The Trojan regulars sat out the entire second half and watched the lakeside city eleven pile up 20 points, making the final blocks in the scorebook read Johnstown 41—Erie Strong Vincent 20. Undefeated and morale high, the Shaffermen spent the following week drilling hard for their coming clash with the Windber Ramblers. On Saturday, October 11, the oldest rival- ry between two district teams was continued. The Trojan Black's and Rambler Blue's were well represented in the hotly contested battle. Before a crowd of over 11,400 fans, the Men of Troy walked away with a 26-6 victory. With a 5-0 record under their Pale Blue and Black belts, the Trojans traveled to McKeesport where their hopes for a WPIAL AA Championship went down the drain. The charges of Harold Duke Weigel proved too much for the Johnnies, as they chalked up a 21-7 verdict. This setback also snapped a nine game winning streak owned by the Tro- jans, including wins over their last four opponents during the previous season. On the succeeding Saturday, the J. H. S. gridders took a back seat to the Jeanette Jay- hawks, unable to surpass the seven points the visitors chalked up in the second period. The Men of Troy then invaded the Altoona Mountain Lions' den and solidly trounced the cats, 40-0. The Greensburg Lions got bitter revenge for their jungle cousins, belittling the Trojans to the count of 12-7 the following Saturday. In their final contest of the topsie-turvie season, the Pale Blue and Black gridders tasted defeat for the fourth time. It was the Red Hurri- canes of New Castle who turned back the Shaffermen, 21-13. The squad was composed of seven seniors, 17 juniors, and ten sophomores. All but one of the seniors were holdovers from last year's eleven which ended up with a 7-3 record. They were Joe Burgo, Vince Moore, Mike Forosisky, Pete Tkac, Dave Niel, and Charles Simpson. Joe Hartnett, the seventh senior, reported at practice following the squad's return from camp. Burgo, the squad's hardest hitting back, carried the brunt of the Trojan offensive at- tack over the season. Carrying the pigskin a total of 142 times, Joe was good for 890 yards to show a 6.2 yards-per-carry average over the season. Coach Shaffer claimed Joe to be the hardest running back he has tutored at J. H. S. The capital T in the Trojan attack com- pleted his final year of high school football with 14 touchdowns for 84 points, to rank far in front of his fellow Men of Troy in the scoring department. Vince Moore was the only other senior in the backfield. Vince suffered an injury in the New Kensington encounter which hampered him the remainder of the season. He was the right halfback on offense and safety man on defense. Perhaps the hardest playing, most consistent gridder was Mike Forosisky. Co-captain Porky occupied the center position on offense and was the center line-backer on defense. Right end, Pete Tkac, seeing his third year with the varsity, was co-captain along with Pork. Pete has his sights set on West Point. Dave Niel, playing opposite Pete, surprised and satisfied many Trojan followers with his sterling play on both offense and defense. Charles Simpson and Joe Hartnett both saw defensive action on the line over the sea- son. In the New Castle game, Joe suffered a broken ankle which kept him out of his first love, basketball. Juniors Ron Rainey, Jack Keelan, Roy Gallucci, Marvin Haselrig, Don Haselrig, Bill King, Don Bohensky, and Joe Chuha, and sophomores Homer Rice, Bemie Grunza, and Jim Drier composed the remainder of the offensive and defensive line-ups. Jooiball tfam A FIFTH AVENUE Hefty Joe Burgo led the attack, scoring from one and six yards out, as the Trojans swamped Fifth Avenue of Pittsburgh, 40-0. Sophomores Archie Cox and Jim Drier, and junior tackle Jack Keelan each contributed a six-ply score. Late in the third stanza Vince Moore returned an interception 59 yards to paydirt. The rangy halfback added three extra points, while junior Don Haselrig made good on one. SOUTH HIGH Vince Moore and Don Haselrig led the eight Men of Troy who scored, as the Shaffermen downed South High, 53-0. Vince and Don scored nine and 13 points respectively, while Dave Niel, Ron Rainey, Mike Hartnett, Homer Rice, and Archie Cox each crossed the final chalk mark once. Junior fullback Jim Drier scored the final point on a point-after-touch- down pass. NEW KENSINGTON The Men of Troy passed their first WPIAL test, crushing New Ken, 19-7. Homer Rice, Dave Niel, and Joe Burgo each scored six pointers, and Vince Moore converted once. New Ken's Chuck Houser scored their only tally on a kick- off return. This was perhaps the Trojan's best all-around game over the season. ERIE STRONG VINCENT The J. H. S. grid machine turned back pre- viously undefeated Erie S. V., 41-20. The Joe Burgo-led regulars did all their scoring in the first two stanzas. Joe scored three T. D.'s, while Dave Niel and sophomores Bemie Grunza and Jim Drier accounted for one each. End Pete Tkac converted four times over the contest. WINDBER The grid warriors walloped the Windber Ramblers, 26-6. Joe Burgo again carried the brunt of the Trojan attack, accounting for 18 points. Don Haselrig scored early in the second half on a lateral from Burgo. Pete Tkac made good on two of four placement attempts. This was the 325th win in the grid history of J. H. S. McKeesport The Trojan title hopes faded away as the McKeesport Tigers belittled them, 21-7. The Weigelmen drew first blood with the Shaffer- men bouncing back as Dave Niel scored in the second period on a pass. With the boys of Herald Duke Weigel scoring in the second and third chapters, the fourth stanza proved to be a desperation period for the Trojans. JEANETTE For the second time, the Pale Blue and Black tasted defeat, this time at the hands of the Jeanette Jayhawks. The lone score came in the second period on a brilliant pass play from Patsy Pallindino to Walt Aerie. Left tackle Jim Pickett booted the Red and Blue's seventh point. ALTOONA The J. H. S. gridders chalked up their sixth and final victory, walloping a weak Altoona eleven, 40-0. Once again fullback Joe Burgo stood out, tallying five times. Pete Tkac kicked two of five placement attempts. In the third stanza the Shaffermen picked up a safety be- hind the Mountain Lion goal. Junior Mike Hart- nett threw a T. D. pass to sophomore Harold Lavely late in the final chapter for the final score. GREENSBURG The Men of Troy fumbled away a 12-7 de- cision to Greensburg. The lone Trojan tally came on a Fred Norman-to-Dave Niel-to-Vince Moore pass play in the second period. Pete Tkac converted from placement. Lion halfback Don Cavanaugh scored their first T. D. After a series of three fumbles, the Jungle King's win- ning tally came on a 15 yard Cavanaugh- to-Ball pass. NEW CASTLE The Red and White New Castle Hurricanes turned back the Trojans, 21-13. Jim Drier scored in the second period on a 10 yard dash with Pete Tkac converting. Late in the fourth stanza the final Trojan tally came on an eight yard pass play from Ron Rainey to Dave Niel. Coach Shaffer, Faculty Manager Colbert Varner, Coach Garbinski, Milan Svitchen, head wrestling coach, Coal Paul Abele, and Coach Fee. Front Row—Jack Prescott, Carl Sax, Fred Norman, Lou Robson, Dave Neil. Standing—Dwight Hostetter, Jerry Lashley, Paul Schmidt, Frank Garman, Jack Keelan, and Ron Rainey. Clbsik (Dora 9i dqain . . . Paul Abele has once again led a Pale Blue and Black quintet to the PIAA playoffs. This year's cagers rolled up a 23-1 regular season record, tying the best slate in the history of the school. The first step in this year's five's journey to success was the copping of the Fourth Annual War Memorial Tournament. This tournament annually is consisted of the cream of the crop among the state's cage powerhouses. The Trojans downed favored Sharon in first round competition. The following night, the Men of Troy carried away first honors, turning back a strong Greensburg five. At the end of regular season play, the Abelemen found themselves on the top rung of the Tri-County Championship ladder. This led them into the PIAA playoffs—the second time in four years that an Abele-led aggregation has done so. The Trojans first clashed with a weak Conemaugh five in their quest of the District XI Crown, the first link in the rigid chain leading to the state championship. Two days later, the Pale Blue and Black court- sters met a spirited Altoona squad. The Somerset Streeters emerged victorious, to avenge the only loss handed them over the entire season. Only 48 hours passed before the Men of Troy clashed with an upset-minded opponent again. This time it was a strong Hollidays- burg five that tasted the bitter defeat dealt by the Johnnies. With the District XI Title, a 26-1 card (the best in the state), and a very good chance of going the whole way under their Pale Blue and Black belts, the victorious cagers are practicing hard to bring the first PIAA Class A State Championship to this district.

(fon hka’A Johnstown's grapplers are directed, this year, by Coach Milan Svitchen. He succeeds Mr. Michael Garbinski, who has held the post for five years. His eleven got off to a fine start this season by trampling Everett 46-2. The success of the team is due to the strenuous workouts outlined by the new mentor. The squad's daily workouts consisted of calisthenics, rope-jump- ing, rope-climbing, step-and-hall running, and mat tussling. All this makes up the vital conditioning matter for the school's seven-minute skirmishes. Let's meet the members of the team that have been in the starting lineup. Archie Stasik and Vernon Boring tackled the 95-lb. class and Jim Komara covered the 103-lb. class. Joe Suttle held 112 while Ron Sleepy Fleegle shared 120 with Chuck Horton. Dave Helsel and Don Gallucci perspired at 127 while James Nitch tussled at 133. Matt Mikesic struggled at 138 and Mike Hartnett scuffled at 145. Bill Showe and Don Haselrig baffled their opponents at 154 while Bill Livingston captured the 165-lb. spot. Archie Cox stirred the crowd with his techniques at 185. . . . “Ofi n th Window, (hint Winnh” Spring . . . when a young man's fancy lightly turns to . . . baseball. Early in April the bat totters begin their training in preparation for the Tri- County schedule. Last year's squad lost only 3 games, twice to Altoona, and the third to Indiana. This year's squad is expected to equal, if not better the record for 1952. With 17 members of last year's squad returning, the club is assured of enough veterans to weld the team together nicely. The five hurlers returning to the team are Joe Brilhart, Tom Hanson, Danny Parsha, Dick Chu- rilla and Bob Aikey. Brilhart is the proud owner of a no-hit game. Ed Cover and Bob Gonda are the returning catchers and they are expected to be given much competition by the midget manager, Mike Smajda. Returning infielders include Laird Anderson, Bill Mangus, Frank Garman, Jack Cale, Charles Heeter and Bob Huff. Ron Rainey, Carmel Genovese, Don Bird and Leonard La Porta make up the returning outfielders. Nine of the seventeen returning vets are seniors. Good luck to Coach Abele and his Trojan baseball men in the coming season! Jh q Wlovinq J'OAi . . . Today, as in the time of the ancient Greeks, the idea still prevails that it is not the winning but the participating that is important. As the ancient men ol Troy engaged in the track and field events so also do the modern Men of Troy take to the field in keeping with age-old tradition. There are many events enabling a large number of Trojans to take part. For sprinters there are the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes. Endurance tests are provided by the quarter, half, and mile runs. Hurdle races and relay teams also provide com- petition for the runners. Boys less quick on their feet develop their talents in jumping events such as the broad jump, high jump and pole vault. Trojans, strong ol back and arm, throw the javelin and discus and put the shot. Through rain, snow and mud the Trojan Tracksters go through their conditioning and practice sessions on the Cochran field.

Under the guidance of Miss Janet Ullery, our cheerleaders, Barbara Burk, Pat Mapstone, Dolores Jones, Rose Ann Rhodes, Toni Alex, Carol Miller, Rosaline Monteleone, and Sonia Walters, have made our school an outstanding one, with their morale-building cheer that led our school to its second place victory in the cheerleading contest. With their black and pale blue uniforms, they perform and cheer at our pep rallies, basketball games, and football games. They were selected to help the students of J. H. S. build the moral support of all our scholastic activities. The cheer- leaders of J. H. S. are doing a wonderful job in setting a record for themselves, and once again putting J. H. S. in the limelight. JoA Ksialih U)ith fikoAJUM Jumping center Health, good sportsmanship, and teamwork are the aims of the J. H. S. gym classes. Here the highly spirited and fun-loving girls of our school find a break between the old grind. They are taught, under the competent direction of Miss Alice Rutledge and Miss Janet Ullery, exercises that not only keep them slim and trim, but also those that aid in keeping their bodies physically fit. They find recreation in the playing of basketball, volleyball, golf and other vigorous games. Other highlights of our gym classes are tumbling and dancing. Above all, good sportsmanship and teamwork are forcibly stressed. The purpose of our gym classes are fulfilled daily and are changing our today's good girls into tomorrow's better citizen.

STRICTLY ON THE BEAM EIRE MEETS BOY LULU TATE By Susan Leibfreid By Evelyn Prostredny When I am walking down the street, I wish by chance that I should meet A male, both tall And smooth and neat. Lulu Tate was thirty-eight, She had no boy friend yet. I guess it's just my extra weight, She thought with much regret. My friend would introduce to me This handsome creature whom I see. I would stand by and with a blush Think to myself—he's a lush. As night drew nigh, she began to cry. She was lonely, sad, and blue. I know what I'll try, she said with a sigh. I'll go on a diet, too. Speak up, speak up my conscience will say, Don't let this fair one pass by today. So little by little my courage rises, But I'm sure my remarks will capture no prizes. She started the day in the usual way. Her menu she cut down by far. “I'll trim till I'm slim, she often would say, As slim as the movie stars are. As our talk continues he asks for a date. He tells me the time—he'll be there at eight. As date time nears, I climb the stair. And I comb and dress with the best of care. She started to trudge down the very long street Towards a restaurant of moderate rate. She entered and finally took her seat, And this is what she ate: At eight o'clock sharp the door bell rings, I descend the stairs—my feet have wings. Clad in my best from tip to toe. I'm prepared to see a grand, new show. Some pork, some beef, a leg of lamb. Three pecks of mashed potatoes. Five well-done steaks, a Virginia ham. And a bushel of stewed tomatoes. He stands aside as I go for my wraps, All ready to leave, my shoulder he taps. He says, I'm afraid I haven't been clear. Pay day's tomorrow, we'll have to stay here. The corn, the peas, she hungrily slurped. She ate and ate and ate. Now at length she finally burped. Time for dessert A La Tate. Now finally Lulu has found her doll, They work together daily. He is a midget named Tiny Small And they work for Barnum and Bailey. 0 o c c o FASHIONS I think that 1 shall never know. Just what designers next will show. There's the belted look or middy dress, Which leading creators are trying to stress. The slim silhouette is quite the fashion, For which the women are showing a passion. Bouffant skirts are very exciting. So magazines are new reciting. Some newer skirts are short and narrow. But what about women with legs like a sparrow? Are they to wear necklines which plunge down and down? The kind which make Grandmother scowl and frown? So the men will look not at the legs, but of course, The neckline held up by ..................... centrifugal force! In addition there are skirts with a pleat or a gore, And separates rage,” says Christian Dior. Along with Carnegie and John Fredericks, too, Who all have their say about what is new. For lounging at home we're expected to wear. Velvet pants and stylish hair. But if all women did was sit and look charming. The rate of divorces would be most alarming. For we cook and scrub 'til time to retire. We're exhausted, we feel like we're going to expire. So there's no time for glamour, much to our woe, We'll leave that to Lana, or Marilyn Monroe. An elastic belt is supposed to maintain The waist you have dieted for, all in vain. But fashion leaders have failed to mention It squeezes the hips to larger dimension. The label is potent in the fashion focus, ’Imported, Original, —it's all hocus-pocus! And so goes the story of what we must wear, Designed to give us the feminine air. Dolman sleeves, a mock turtle neck, (What's feminine about turtles I cannot detect.) A monotone streak or a dashing drape, Tend to lend us a flashing shape. Crinoline petticoats often are added. Along with hips which are stiff and padded. And the well-dressed woman cannot break the rules. Of bedecking herself with furs and jewels. The sheath effect is considered smart, And poodle cloth, too, plays an important part. In this mad fashion world of complex clothing. All this disturbance has set me loathing. A slave to fashion, what could be worse? Now I guess I'll conclude this terse verse. Yet, I'm in a dither and excited, you see. For I just bought a gown, STRAIGHT FROM PAREE! —Dolores Jones '53 MY FLAG I pledge allegiance To the flag of the United States of America.
