Wiley, our outstanding superintendent, was taken from us with little warning. Death made his visit quickly and from our midst took a man of integrity and dignity. The stamp of sorrow still leaves its imprint in the hearts of those who had the opportunity of working closely with this man whose fine character demanded respect. His innumerable activities in the community marked him as a leader and civic- minded citizen. In a lite of service, he worked hard to establish those principles in which he believed. He was not afraid to attack Wrong, and he never lacked sympathy in any situation which called forth understanding. As a leader ot educators, Dr. Wiley was tired from doing good work. Daily he fought for a cause that was great and just-the cause of education. The school and com- munity lost a good man. But a glorious hope rises before us, as we contemplate the promise that when Earth's last picture is painted, the Master of All Good Workmen will make those Who were good happy and give them rest. L'ENVOI When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have taded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it-lie down tor an aeon or two, Till the Master ot All Good Workmen shall put us to Work anew. And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair, They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair. They shall tind real saints to draw trom-Magdalene, Peter, and Paul, They shall Work tor an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame, ' And no one shall Work tor money and no one shall work tor tame, But each tor the joy ot the working, and, each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It tor the God ot Things as They are! -RUDYARD KIPLING line-F-our-Y--.-.. f 7 1--w - .-...U -..,- - , . .. - V. -. ..---faq.-,... , ,.,.-geniuses U, 911 Wlenwmhm RALPH SHARP, IR. DIED IULY 3, 1953 After an extended illness, Ralph Sharp, a member of our faculty and World War II veteran, died Iuly 3, 1953, having served well his school. community, and country. Mr. Sharp was certified in Christian leadership work by the International Council of Religious Education, as well as being highly trained in the field of business educa- tion. His interest in the Allied Artists group of Pittsburgh and the Art Book Club of New York was evidence of his appreciation of those who have contributed culture to the world. P He was too young to leave us, but when Life let go, Ralph had already be- queathed a record of service which would be commendable for an older man to claim. This in itself is a great tribute. Mahatma Ghandi, the saint of India, has said that to be of service in this life. if only for a few years, means that one has found the answer. Ralph Sharp knew service for many years-the greatest service in the world today, teaching boys and girls. In their hearts lives his memory. In the Almighty's sanctuary he will find strength and beauty. r7n-1----H------ --'-- ---..-.p-Q-H.

S- I A STORY 'l'ULD IN l'lt.I'I'llRl5S This year has been, for the seniors, like a story. The story began in September of 1953 with the seniors feeling important cmd strangely different now that we were sitting on the top rung of the ladder being envied and admired by our underclassmen. We acquired that air and manner that is associated with, sophisticated seniors. Our studies were tackled diligently because we were determined to make this, our last school year, the best. The action of the story mounted as Prom time rolled around and Commencement marked the climax of a great year. The ending of this story is rather sad because we must leave the companionship of the many friends we have known and the happy times shared in I. H. S. But it is also the time for us to look forward to a bright and happy future filled with all our goals and dreams. Now we must get on with our story. The Chinese say that a picture is worth 10,000 words. So, what easier method could be used to tell a story than in pictures? Here for you, presented by the class of '54, is a story told in pictures.

CHARLES E. BOYER To open our fascinating story of school life at I. H. S., we begin with the picture of a dignified, and courteous gentlemen. Mr. Charles E. Boyer, principal of Iohnstown Central High School, and chief of the faculty and student body, conducts problems and matters with an air of self-confidence that all admire. Most of the important business of the school is carried on under his careful supervision. The Warm friendliness of his voice and the ease With which he converses, make one realize his striking personality. His counsel to teen- agers deserves high recognition. During our two years at Iohnstown High School, many have had an opportunity to confer with Mr. Boyer and have found his quiet assurance most helpful. The class of '54 would like to take their hats off to a man who has pulled us through thick and thin and advised us in all complications. Also, We admire his faith in the youth of America. Miss IESSIE M. Toivus ADMINISTRATIVE .ASSISTANT MISS JESSIE M. TOMB The next picture that comes into focus, is that of Miss Iessie M. Tomb. As the head of 422 and the administrative assistant, Miss Tomb plays an im- portant part in our story. In her office, under her guidance, hundreds of daily tasks are taken care of. Tardies, absences, excuses, etc., must be approved by Miss Tomb. Because of her fair judgment and kindness to all, We have come to look at her with ad- miration. Each year, she pays special attention to each pupil's program, so that they are scheduled as to their chosen field. Then Come the many adjust- ments. And Miss Tomb is always ready with advice and solutions to our problems. We, the seniors of '54, express our appreciation for the guidance and advice which has come from the administration. 3'-5?

The English classes are di- vided into three separate groups--College English, Business English, and Vocational English. Each group enables the students to develop a cultured background for his or her future staton in life. In the College and Vocational groups, English is a land of travel, and to take us on this trip are authors of the day including Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allen Poe, and the immortal William Shakespeare. Business English prepares the business student for the job to come. Keeping up to date with world-Wide happenings, proper letter con- struction, correct sentence structure, and other essentials for the business world are taught accurately. The value of such knowledge in the business world is emphasized. The field of English is a large field. The knowledge and experience gained in the field will brighten students' lives, and make way for a wiser and more cultured person of the future world. s.i ' Xa M L- Q W S' WISSINGER, P. I. WISSINGER.

These are the doors to industry. Within these rooms, boys are learning a trade, one which they hope to follow in future life. This trade may be plumbing, carpentry, machine Work, electric work, printing, or auto mechanics. During the course in high school, the boys are taught the fundamentals and added skills of their chosen profession. When they graduate, these boys are Well versed in their field, ready to start their own business. The shops are run on a three-Week period. For three Weeks there are classes of regular school Workg the other three Weeks are spent in the shops. Many of the shop boys have an excellent scholastic record, and have a part in all school social activities. Vocational boys know the value of the ex- cellent training they receive here at Iohnstown High. They take good advantage of this train- ing, Working tirelessly to become skilled in their chosen field.

Under the direction of Mr. Iohn McHugh, chairman of the Science Department, Miss Sophia Moiles, Mr. Iames Koontz, Miss Louise Kunkle, Miss Nettie Showers, and Mr. Ralph Weigle, all of whom teach some branch of science, the tu- ture scientists ot America are learning sound facts and vital knowledge. Most the of boys and girls who take the higher sciences in high school go on to the colleges and pursue science still further. The science classes are allowed six periods per week, one of which is used tor a laboratory period. Here actual experimenting and re- search is done at first hand by the students themselves. That a great interest in science is taken at Iohnstown High is attested by the tact that over halt the class is enrolled in one of the science departments. n ,.f:.zsCf me ,K an , 319 N Mr. Ralph Gillman with Class Math Class 'Wlafh Qnvnlvpzi jlufnkrhq Forum A must subject at I. H. S. is mathematics. An essential study in any course, mathematics is vital in all phases of life. No matter What OHGIS life may bring, the learning of the three R's is a necessity. Mathematics is more or less a challenge to the individual. The ability to learn and understand mathematics is an accomplish- ment because the subject requires concentration and determination. We should all have the will to do that Which is necessary. Even if one isn't planning a career as an engineer, math helps one in exercising the brain. Thinking power is developed in this subject. We, the students, are offered many different courses in the study of mathematics. The academic course, the basis for college Work, offers algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The commercial course Which is preparing for business Work teaches business math. The vocational boys learn related math, which ties in with their voca- tion. These subjects under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Gillman and Miss Thelma Fetterman are preparing us to take our place in life. Miss Helen Lockard and Spanish Class A5'uQnoA 01214 agnnjoulz Brmua Qzbm With the array of languages offered to the I. H. S. students, one could almost be a linguist. Spanish, French, and Latin are offered by the department to those Who wish to take them. With the study of a foreign language comes a knowledge of the habits and customs of a foreign people and nation. Though one can not possibly learn to master the language in high school, one does learn the fundamentalsg and a person equipped with the fundamentals can more easily comprehend the finer points of a language if the need or opportunity should arise. Miss Helen Lochard teaches her students to speak and enjoy el espanol. Miss Ruth Hetrick takes hor Latin students back to the day of Caesar and the Roman Empire. Miss Iosephine Young, chairman of the Language Department, teaches her young men and women to parlez-vous francais. With the learning of any one of these languages comes a greater knowledge of our own English language, which is one of the objectives of studying a foreign tongue.

Nearing the main entrance you may hear the numerous shouts ot a class of fifty or more boys clashing headlong in a thrilling game of basketball. These energetic boys full ot pep and vigor participate in various sports throughout the year. Rope climbing and calisthenics are some activities that keep these boys in good physical shape. Volleyball and soccer are two other popular sports that add a colorful pic- ture to the annual program. Also included in this active schedule is the drilling and marching to precise timing that is given during regular classes. Rounding out the school semester the boys are taught various steps of mod- ern dancing in hopes of advancing their social life. Teen-agers learn how to cook. Miss Nancy Ellsworth directs. Hom nf fha Jufufm The school system has prepared its students for many fields of life, cmd the Home Economics course is no exception. In cooking, for example, the girls learn how to prepare many mouth-Watering meals that will please everyone's appetite. Eating is one of the most important factors in living, so good food preparation is essential knowledge. This department. under the supervision of Miss Nancy Ellsworth, is doing wonders in teaching to- day's students the art of cooking. But not only is the preparations of foods taught, but also the preparation of menus, the nutritional value of foods, and everything a girl would need to fulfill her duty as a good homemaker. The sewing department, under the supervision of Miss Katherine Laine, is also doing an excellent job in preparing girls to be eligible housewives. Future homemak- ers are taught everything from sewing on buttons to making a superb gown. Future homemakers learn the values of sewing their own clothes and thus saving money, also the sense of accomplishment and the thrill of having made clothes that are ap- pealing to the eye. xl?

An alert mind and quick hand are essential in the Work of the Commercial students. Whether it be shorthand, typing, book- keeping, or office practice-perfection is a must for the qualified secretary. An error in their bookkeeping may re- quire hours of searching for that one mistake. A mistake in their shorthand character may make a letter senseless. A mistouch in typing a payroll or an important report may cost the company money and one's job. Near perfection is not enough. Students' training includes work- ing With the very latest office machines, such as dictaphones, adding machines, and switchboards. The boys and girls with excellent qualifications will be sent out on the Work Program, which means that the student goes to school half the day and to Work the other half. This not only gives the students exper- ience but many times results in per- manent employment. The Commercial Department is headed by Mr. Raymond Morgan.

It is the story that begins with Adam cmd Eve, featuring this modern age as just one exciting chapter in this tabu- lous story. History has the plots, climaxes, beginnings, and endings of all the best-selling novels. Our interest in history stems from a desire to know our forefathers and to what purpose their lives were spent. With this knowledge we hope to build a stronger foundation today so that our children may have a brighter tomorrow. The story has an end for us individually but for mankind the story goes on and on. Our contribution to history is entirely up to us. Will our contribution make for a good chapter in history or a bad chapter? Which ever it is We are certain that it will be an exciting chapter. The story was first told from father to son and passed thus, by Way of mouth through generations. Man became more civilized and began to draw pic- tures, then to Write. From this time We have a more clear, accurate picture. Today the story is made inter- esting by pictures, maps, and drawings. Our history department, with Miss Margaret Evans as chairman, is outstanding in that it divides the different phases of history into groups. Each history is made interesting by the competent leadership of the history teachers. Each contributes to our education a knowledge of our- selves and an understanding of others.

To gain membership to this Society-whose standards are nation-Wide for admittance-the student is chosen on the basis of subjects completed in his junior year and the third report period of his senior year. The first National Honor Society organized at I. H. S. was in 1936, Miss Mary D. Glenn, of the English Department, has served as the Society's spon- sor since that time. This year's National Honor Society has elected the following officers: Iames Cantela, presidentg Frank Garman, vice president, Anne Boyer, secre- tary, Ioseph Todaro, treasurer. These students are to be commended for the Work which they have done and for their contributions to I. H. S. Miss Sophia Moiles and the girls of T. K.E Lcfnjmlzthadg ' We Seek the Beautiful, a quotation taken from the Greek Words To Kaaron Enomina, is the motto of the honorary society, T. K. E. Any girl is eligible for membership in either the college or the commer- cial course, providing she has the deciding quali- fications. The present members were chosen on the basis of their scholarship, personality, character, and leadership ability at the end of their junior year. Each teacher submitted names of the girls Whom she felt qualified for this honor. The faculty and senior members then voted on the girls and the twenty successful girls became members. The girls strive to do and be their best in their homes, schools, and community. This year the club was reactivated after a year of inactivity. They started off the year With a Weiner roast, held at Bedford. They fed and clothed a less fortunate family as their Christmas project. The officers of this year's club are Mary Gal- lagher, president, Antoinette Alex, vice-president, Marcia Gillman, recording secretary, Anne Boy- er, corresponding secretaryg and Barbara Iames, treasurer.

Iohnstown's junior Y-Teens have proven them- selves to be a capable organization Which can support itself and can also provide activities for the entire school to enjoy. At the meetings, held the second Tuesday ot every month, a variety ot new ideas and activities were planned. Their calendar of activities lor the year Was original and complete. December was Money Month, at which time activities were planned to add money to the treasury. A Christmas Dance was held and proclaimed a huge success. In Ianuary the Y-Teens helped a needy family and enjoyed a sleigh ride. A Dungaree Hop Was the project for February. In March, a square dance entertained many people and in April the Senior Y-Teens attended a Graduation Dance held tor them by the Iunior Y-Teens. To close their calendar tor the year, the junior Y-Teens enjoyed a picnic. The membership of Iohnstown High School's Iunior Y-Teens in 1953-1954 was approximately 90. The capable officers ot that term were Donna Hammer, presidentg Patsy Baldwin, vice presidentg Bonnie Paul, secretaryg Linda States, treasurer, and Ianet Roth, inter-club council representative. The advisers for the group were Mrs. Doris Lloyd and Miss Nettie Showers. UK Jima 9 The presentation of The Childe Iesus, a Christmas cantata by Ioseph W. Clokey, gave everyone a vivid picture of the advent of Christ. The yuletide performance was the first given by the Mixed Chorus on their 1953-54 calenda1'. Miss Mary Weaver, director, spent many hours of practice with the group and with individuals. Miss Weaver successfully developed a clear picture of choral music and its history for each of the 96 members. Each of the amateur singers has gained something other than the valuable training received at I. H. S. The experience of being a part of team Work, practicing precision, and taking part in social activities gave each member something most worthwhile. No chorus member Will forget the spring concert and the trips to the junior high schools. Every young, potential Caruso will recall the sad thought, as the final program was being sung, of never again singing with the organi- zation. Certainly, it can be said for the I. H. S. Mixed Chorus, No perform- ance was an unimportant performance. Any girl who is interested in singing can probably be found a few periods a Week in the high school auditorium. This music-minded group is the Girls' Chorus, one of the active I. H. S. activities, under the direction of Mr. Charles I. Aikey. The Chorus is divided into two groups, one group meeting Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. This group consists of forty-two girls. The second group of sixty-four girls, meets Thursday and Friday. Both senior and junior girls are included in the Chorus. The accompanist this year was Iustice King. Their annual Christmas program included such selections as 'TWas the Night Before Christmas, Iesus is Born, Children's Carol, No Candle Was There, Nor No Fire, Birthday of the King. Another program which this group presents annually is their Spring Concert, at which time the Chorus can always be expected to give a good performance.

These girls were selected on a basis ot personality, school pep and spirit, and high moral character. Truly active this year, the club sponsored a successful pep bonfire at Roxbury Park which was topped oft with a pep rally and a dance in the school gym. Their co-operation with the cheer- leaders, who are honorary members, at the pep rallies almost brought the building down with screams. And an enchanted evening dancing to Iohnny Scott's orchestra at the annual Pep Club Formal concluded their activities tor the first half ofthe school year. The club, which is under the supervision of Miss Nancy Ellsworth, is the most sought after club for girls in the school.

A deliberate and systematic search al- ways reveals to us facts on any subject we choose. Every other week the Science Club meets and hears a talk, given by one of the members, on a scientific subject. Such topics as psychology, astronomy, and the facts concerning an internal combustion engine are only a few of the many fields open for discussion and explanation. However, this club does more than talk. Each year they go on at least one trip to a place of scientific interest. Last year they Went to Buhl Planetarium, and the past year also to Buhl Planetarium. The purpose of the Science Club is to make the student aware of the happen- ings about him and to sharpen his sense of curiosity. Under the guidance of Miss Sophia Moiles, sponsor of the club, the officers carry out their meetings smoothly and efficiently.

Namely, to promote the welfare of the student body, to participate in school control, and to imbue the student body With a deep sense of its obligation to the community which supports this school. The organization is composed of delegates elected in the home rooms to act as representatives tor the student body at the Student Council meetings. This group met approximately every Week on alternating periods and was under the direction of its superviser, Mr. Iohn A. McHugh. Several projects for the year were the recording of the Alma Mater by the school band, which could be bought at a reasonable pricey the purchasing of I. H. S. sweatersg promoting interest in school socials and sportsg and an exchange assembly program With several schools in the district. Bm! jon! jofzwwwl Best foot forward-the motto of the I. H. S. Band. Through the years our high school band has received recognition as being one of the finest high school bands in the state. This year was no exception. Under the able direction of Mr. Charles I. Aikey, this year's band has been labeled with success. The band attended every football game and displayed excellent ability in executive marching-military drills at each half time period. This year's band numbered only 92, one of the smallest bands I. H. S. has had in a number of years. At the beginning of the season band officers were elected. They were Roger Myers, presidentg Bill Showe, vice-presidentg Anna Showe, secretaryg Nancy Io Shaffer, historian. Also elected was a student director and an assistant student director to give Mr. Aikey a helping hand. They were Charles Nycum and Roger Myers. Charles did a fine job in directing the band through the Star Spangled Banner before each home football game. Another program of the season is the annual Spring Concert. This program includes everything from classical and popular tunes to novelty and march music. With this concert another band season is climaxed. -. -' J, 2 'Wi sn., ,f fi fr y Af Z , .144 v- '51 .Srzfwicetothnfn ' This slogan is dutifully observed by the members of the Nurses of Tomorrow Club. Ever since the founding of the club in l95U, the girls have been of service to the community. Under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth I. Hetrick, these future nurses have Worked as aides in the hospitals of Iohnstown. Although this aid is voluntary, the girls Work diligently and with much enthusiasm. Not only does this Work aid the hospitals, but the girls, through this enlightening experience, can determine if a nursing career is to be their profession. Serving as hospital aides is not the sole function of the Nurses' Club. As an organization it provides social activities for its mem- bers. It also sponsors service projects during the school year. These projects include contribution for the needy and Christmas gifts for the children in orphanages and hospitals.

This course, while new in the field of education, is doing fine Work in helping to reduce the number of acci- dents along our highways. A recent check made by a national organization definite- ly proves that the number of accidents among people who have not had driver train- ing is far greater than those who have successfully completed the course. The course not only teaches actual driving of the car but also consists of class room instruction Where the proper attitudes and courtesies to other people are stressed. The class room trainer which is a model of the car's steering and controlled devices is also used to give the students proper techniques in driving. During the past year the Driver Training course has been made available to adults in the evening class. The response has been so great that many have been turned away because of the great number wishing to take the course. The course is instructed by Mr. Phillip Gettys, who has been with us for four years, and by Mr. Frank C. Weaver, who has come to us this year, after having taught for six years at Forbes High School. 5' 'gaz1a1g.2t.

V . ...iq-L, ggrvslyiflf Um ,Zan dll-dll frm Um After extensive drills at summer camp, the Iohnstown High School football team, under the direction of head coach, E. Clark Shaffer and his aides, Mike Gar- binski, Peter Fee, Paul Abele, Paul Slobozien and Milan Svitchen, prepared them- selves for one of the toughest football seasons ever played at Iohnstown High. This year's schedule included games with Turtle Creek, Duquesne, Erie East and Catho- lic High, four new opponents to the Trojan's roster. During the remaining part of the season the Men of Troy met South High, New Kensington, Windber, McKeesport. Altoona and Greensburg. There was a strong feeling of loyalty between the members of the squad for one another and their coaches, it' was the attitude of one for all and all for one. The boys learned well the fundamentals of football and what it takes to play the game. They learned the importance of teamwork in football and in life. I. H. S. vs. SOUTH HIGH The men of Troy opened their 1953 football season by nipping South High of Pittsburgh 13-6. Hess knifed over left tackle for South's lone 6 pointer but the Trojans quickly charged back as shifty Don Haselrig shot off right tackle for the Iohnnie's first score. Haselrig's conver- sion was good and the half ended with the score 7-6. During the second half, Iim Dreier took a lateral from Haselrig to add the final score. I. H. S. vs. ERIE EAST Stunned by Mel Laskoff, the hard running halfback of Erie East, the Trojans hammered out a closely fought 28-27 game. The contest was a see-saw battle all the way with the calm toe of Don Haselrig the deciding factor. After the touchdowns of Iim Dreier, Tony Stumpo, Frank Cascino and one of his own, Haselrig made good on all 4 of the extra points. Laskoff's attempt for the field goal in the last 15 seconds was not good as the Iohnnies clinched their second win. I. H. S. vs. NEW KENSINGTON The blue and black were displaced from both the undefeated ranks and WPIAL Class AA race as the speedy Kensters handed them a decisive 20-6 setback. Near the end of the gcnne, a fistfight aroused the spectators from their seats. In all courage and determination, the Trojans with blood in their eyes took the big gamble and with 4th and 7 on the 37, sent Iim Dreier blasting through the left tackle to set up Iohnstown's lone touchdown which he scored four plays later. I. H. S. vs. WINDBER An estimated crowd of 10,327 jammed the coaltowner's new stadium as the blue and white squeezed past the men of Troy 12-6. It was a hard-charged, roughly-fought, widely- disputed game as a Rainey to Haselrig pass, good for 25 yards and a touchdown, was called back mid-way in the first period. It seemed that the Trojans were highly spirited, but that all the breaks slid to the Ramblers. Dreier scored the only Trojan touchdown. I. H. S. vs. MCKEESPORT This game was an extremely hard played contest as the Shaffermen tried desperately to outpoint McKeesport. Unfortunately the Tigers nudged out the Trojans in the last 3 minutes to gain a 7-0 win. During the first three periods of play both teams were stalled when in scor- ing positions, the Blue and Black losing the ball on the 5, and the McKeesporters losing it on the 9. A feature of the game was Rainey's punts of 50, 42, and 59 yards from the line of scrimmage. I. H. S. vs. TURTLE CREEK The Iohnnies suffered their fourth setback at the hands of the white clad Turtle Creekers at the point stadium. Turtle Creek scored in the last minutes of the first period and stayed in the lead throughout the game. The Trojans score came when Rainey lateralled to Hasel- rig who in turn lateralled to Iim Dreier who dashed the remaining 23 yards unmolested. Later in the third quarter, McTier scored from the two yard line making the final score 14-6. I. H. S. vs. ALTOONA I. H. S. slapped Altoona's pride and dignity as the Shaffermen won a lop-sided 48-7 vic- tory, the second largest score ever to be com- piled against the Mountaineers since 1921. The entire Trojan bench was cleared as 44 boys saw action. Several of the highlights of the game were fumble recoveries by tackle, Roy Gallucci, and guard, Ron Di Buno. It was also Iohnstown's highest scoring binge as Dreier. Rainey, Haselrig, Lavely, Hartnett, and Scarv- er all crossed the last chalk line, with Scarver scoring twice. I. H. S. vs. DUQUESNE A fighting Iohnstown squad, in what was definitely the best played game of the season, out-fought the highly-rated Duquesne team 28-26. The game was one exciting play after another and the fans in the stands stood throughout the entire contest. Each of the Tro- jans was a standout. As guard Don Bohen- sky blocked a Duke punt from which tackle Iack fthe giant killerl Keelan picked up and scored on. The ends Bill Scarver and Frank Cascino excelled themselves as Cascino forced a safety. Quarterback Ron Rainey held a dead- ly hand as he hit Haselrig for a 49 yard pass and touchdown. Rainey later scored two touch- downs on sneaks and was a constant threat on passing and running. I. H. S. vs. GREENSBURG The Men of Troy whistled past Greensburg to the tune of 27-7 in the season's coldest en- counter. As the temperature dropped the Tro- jans scoring threat increased, for a Norman to Fox pass good for 24 yards set up the first Iohnstown score which was made by Iim Dreier from the one-yard stripe. Touchdowns were accounted in each period as Don Haselrig ac- counted for two more with Dreier scoring the last. Coaches Svitchen Abele Garbinski Shaffer Fee Slobozien I. H. S. vs. CATHOLIC HIGH The 1953 Iohnstown High School football team Wrapped up its season by deteat- ing a highly spirited Catholic High squad l2-U. It was the first time I. H.

This year's edition of the Pale Blue and Black successfully defended their War Memorial Invitational Tournment title in their first big test. Then they proceeded to better the I. H. S. record for consecutive wins, 16, set by the 1935-36 squad. The Tro- jans came out of 26 straight contests unscathed. To earn the War Memorial crown, the men of Coach Abele had to overcome New Kensington and Chester High Schools, both of which were rated as state powers. Paul Schmidt, senior center, won the coveted most valuable player award of the tournament. Other senior members of the team were lack Keelan, Carl Sax, Ron Rainey, and Dwight Hostetler.

Leading the Iohnstown fans with their snappy cheers they help tide the Tro- jans to many victories. The cheerleaders contributed greatly to the support of their team and boost- ed school spirit by holding pep rallies. A special bon-fire in the form of a pep rally was held to promote victory for the Men of Troy the night before the annual Iohnstown-Windber game. The cheerleading contest held annually did not prove a complete failure for the Trojanettes, as they tied for fourth place. Not only must these girls possess cheering ability but they must also keep their grades up to a high standard. These bundles of pep are a credit to their school as well as to their commun- ity.

The Trojan matmen are trained by Coach Milan Svitchan, who in his second year at I. H. S. has produced a fine team with a record of 9 wins to only 2 losses. During this year's season the Men of Troy met and defeated Everett 38-8, Somerset 29-13, Cresson 33-10, Windber 31-8, 25-19, Hollidaysburg 26-17, Boswell 36-15, Conemaugh Township 26-12, and Indiana 32-14, while losing to Blairsville 16-19 and Bedford 23-15.

They work two years in a Well-equipped shop. The boys rotate on the machines so that they might learn each machine individually. The shop is often called upon to give materials to the other shops.

However, as you know, my lively, healthy, twin boys take all of my time, and I never seem to have the time to do anything. I want to tell you how sorry I was not to be at our class reunion. It seems impossible to think that it's been ten years since we graduated from high school. Maybe it's better that I wasn't there, being as sentimental as I am. I think I prefer to remember our class- mates as they were. I remember, so vividly, certain people and things. I remember how much I enjoyed chorus practice. Miss Weaver was truly a fine director. I can still remember Cecil Hess always referring to the boys in the chorus as, the men and Bill Rouser and Pat Greenwood thinking they could get away with any stunt since tenors were so limited. Thinking along the music line, we certainly had a great band. I always en- vied Nancy Io Shaffer playing first trombone so Well and remember how well Bill Showe and Roger Meyers held their own in the brass section. Chuck Nycum always did a fine job as student director. I'll never forget the times Nancy Nightingale had dragging that brass horn around with her. Our class was full of romance. Do you remember the love affairs of Carl Sax and Carol Bittman, lean Peters and Ed Roberts, Sally Hanlin and Paul Zolbe, Phyllis Wissinger and Mike Klochak? Remember the beautiful en- gagement rings Ruth Yingling, Angeline Raco, and Nancy Wilson received when we were seniors? Cafeteria rush I remember what a good looking couple Mary Roser and Carmel Genovese made. Remember how handsome Dwight Huster was and how friendly, especially with the girls? We had a few women-haters, too, like Bob McWilliams. What a happy-go-lucky blonde bombshell Iudy Ripley was, with a new interest every week! We certainly had a great year for sports. Remember how Mike Hart- nett really knocked himself out on that football field? It was a shame Ron Rainey lost his two front teeth the last game of the season but that didn't matter to Mary Andrews. We had a championship basketball team that year and no wonder with ball players like Iack Keelan, Paul Schmidt and Dwight Hostetler. Paul Wissler was a great track man and then we had baseball lovers like Bob Huff. Behind our teams we had a terrific cheerleading squad with Carol Miller as head cheerleader. What bundles of pep Rose Monteleone and Sonia Walter Were. Remember what a cute and popular cheerleader Toni Alex was? Oh there are so many things to remember like Iulie Buncichs' expression, Cowa Bunga, and Carol Brad1ey's giggle. Remember the dramatic students like Marion Perret and Martha Boyer? Remember tall Frank Garman, and how swell Fred Norman Was? I could go on for pages thinking of all our class- mates and interesting details concerning our classmates, but I am sure you remember them and if you don't you can refresh your memory by paging through our yearbook. There you'll see the entire story told in pictures. Write to me soon and plan to visit us in the very near future. BARBARA BLACK, '54 GRUESUME TWOSOME A gruesome twosome of I. H. S. Were Annie and Ta-you might've guessed. When a good time came, they were always ready, We often wondered why they didn't go steady. After lunch, after school, and after each class, Together you'd find this lad and this lass. Two people in love with never a snarl, You're sure to remember as Carol cmd Carl. For many months we never knew, If the rumors we heard were very true. But then we knew without a doubt, For Smitty and Io had been seen about. When Sally transferred from Ferndale High, We wondered if it wasn't for that certain guy. For when school began in '53, Paul and Sally you would always see. Chit-chat in the halls Betsy and Iohn looked real cool, Driving a Nash to and from school. These swell kids were thought of by all, As a sharp couple so lean and tall. A real swell pair with one exception, Their perfect love had an imperfection. If by chance she marries Larry, Shelby's last name will never vary. When Gindy's assignment in shop was through, His mate, Toni Alex was no longer blue. They spent each spare moment they had together, True to each other in foul or fair weather A gal like Pat Palmer who was so sweet Deserve a guy who was real neat. So when she and Bob began to date, We were very pleased at her choice of a m 1 ate The off and on romance of Hoey and Dot, Made people think they loved each other not. But deep down inside they both knew, No one else mattered, no matter who. A romance labeled a ricochet one, Was Barb and Dwight's-'twas bettered by none. Since their dating began back at Cochran High, There have been several others for this gal and guy. This love had bloomed for quite awhile, For each other they'd have walked a mile. They didn't consider it just a whim, It was the real thing for Donna and Slim. Two moonstruck kids who were just grand, Came to school each day hand in hand. A real swell pair that all could like, Was sweet little Phyllis and handsome Mike. How happy and pleased Carolyn must be, Since Christmas back in '53. Cause that's when she and lim began, To work upon a lifetime plan. How proud Winnie was-she had quite a reason, Especially in summer during the swimming season. For her better half was really a dream, Don too held Winnie high in esteem. How glad patient Evelyn was at its end, Cause football continually delayed her friend. But after the season you'd see Ioe and she, Always together and as happy as could be. Although Rose and Eddie had many fights, They had lots of fun on Saturday nights. For as many have said beyond and above, It never runs smooth when you're really in love. We're sure Mary Andrews loved her spouse, Even though she called him a louse, She became a loyal I. H. S. fan 'Cause Ron Rainey was a three-letterman. CAROL BITTMAN '54 Classroom activity BE TRUTHFUL-CHECK EACH QUESTION ACCURATELY 1. At 8:30 A.M. each morning where could 422 find you? A.

Dear Diary, Tonight was the most glorious night of all! My senior prom. Everyone looked so nice and the band was wonderful. I went with ,w....,..i,..,,..... ,.,..,,,,.,,,Y...,.i..,....,.,,,. A fter the prom We went to I never arrived home until o'clock. Holy terror! Iust think, this is the conclusion of all my good times at ole I. H. S. I remember in my junior year how excited we all were the first day of school. Everyone was bewitched, bothered, and bewildered. I guess We looked quite peculiar, scurrying through the halls fwhich seemed miles longl and looking at door num- bers, trying to find our next classroom. The seniors tried their hardest to get us in trouble, which didn't help matters much. After We were settled, the joining of various organizations started. All the boys were hoping to get into Key Club, and all the girls into the Pep Club. Finally, once We were in such clubs as Y-Teens, Boys' and Girls' Pep Club, Thespians, F. T. A., and the others, we had to undergo the initiations. Some were hilariously funny while the others were formal. Our clubs were really active, each trying to outdo the other. One of the most important social events was the Girls' Pep Club Formal, which was held in the audion, at Christmas time. That one night, the great, old fifth floor study hall was changed into a room of enchanted festivity Where all the girls suddenly became beautiful belles and the boys became handsome escorts. Lonely?? The football games, especially the annual Windber game, made Saturday nights Well worth remembering. Each Windber game the fellows were out for blood, and the cheerleaders from each school tried to outcheer the other school. Basketball is a subject anyone from I. H. S. will proudly discuss. Our mighty Trojans stacked up quite a record and won quite a few trophies for us. Those games will be unforgettable, especially the Altoona and tournament games. I re- member the huge bonfire held at Roxbury Park before the Windber game. Ioe Smith and the cheerleaders really stirred the school spirit up that night. All this excitement was topped off with a dance and a pep rally held in the gym afterwards. The school gym was not only the scene of basketball games, but of wrestling matches, school dances, and other social events. That Sadie Hawkins dance the Y-Teens held was really a great one. We had to pay a penny an inch ac- cording to our waist measurement fpity the poor girls over size 263. What fun! Each seventh period when the bulletin was read, how we would laugh about the cafeteria sneaks. Many of us were guilty of that crime. But sometimes it wasn't so funny if we got detention from it. That's one class that was packed to capacity. All this was a part of our education. Collecting class pictures and name cards, slaving over investigated themes, selecting class rings, visits to 422, deten- tion, class play, assemblies and pep rallies, and teachers- all this made up our senior year. What a circus we had trying to get to school during the 15 cents Q ticket bus strike! We got there the best way we could, some walked, hitchhiked, or got rides. Whether we were inconvenienced or not, it was good for some laughs. Each week without fail a fudge sale was held either outside the cafeteria or the audion. Great competition arose between different clubs to raise funds. What fudge! Either it was so hard you broke a tooth on it or so soft it just ozzed all over our hands. It seems that the little lassies of I. H. S. just weren't cut out to be candy makers. Gee, I'm going to miss my gym class when school is over. I still feel wet whenever I think of our shower fights. If anyone got wise, under the showers they went, clothes and all. It was fun while it lasted-until Miss Rutledge put us on probation. Yes, dear diary, I'm sure going to miss I. H. S. These two years have just whizzed by. For all my ranting about homework, moaning about teachers, worrying about grades, and hating school in general, the whole truth of it is that they were the best days of my life. So long to two wonderful years of school daze at I. H. S. CAROL MILLER '54 3gg7mnqllrn-Y---'f---A-1' H sw- rf'---H '--' 50 YEARS HENCE ISENIORS, YEARS FROM NOW THIS IS WHAT WE'LL BE THINKINGJ Sit down and relax in your old rocking chair, Take oft your specks and stroke your gray hair Close your eyes and let your thoughts stray . . To the good old times of yesterday. Remember our school days far gone by, Remember those kids from Iohnstown High. Paul Schmidt was the hero of the basketball team. His spectacular playing was on the beam. Chuck Kirker was the school Romeo, Kind of flirtatious. but a real good Ioe. Rosemary Sefcik was a shy quiet lass. But her piano playing really had class. Ah. There's Kathy Bendick, a fashionable belle She's dressed like a model from Mademoiselle Blond Don Bohensky of the football team. Sported the biggest shiners that ever did gleam. Iackie Timmeney's eyes were big and blue. But she couldn't see! What good did they do? On the football field Ron Rainey was ruthless, And because of all this he became toothless. Edwina Lloyd was so lively and cute. She was well liked by all, a real Southern beaut. I'm sure you'1l agree that no one looked better Than Tay Verrone in his cashmere sweater. Iustice King with her perky cute smile, Made a boring day seem really worthwhile. ll '14 G1 Those flashy socks Carmel Genovese wore, Were so bright when you looked they made your eyes sore. lt seemed no matter what was said, Mary Ann Gmuca's face would blush red. You felt your heart flip and your knees give 'way, When Carl Sax smiled in that slow, easy way. When Carol Bittman spoke in her soft pleasant voice. You realized why she wasCarl's own choice. lust knowing Ruth Evans was quite a treat, A nicer girl one couldn't hope to meet. Known around school as a regular fella, Was none other than lames Curly Cantella. The way this girl talked was just atrocious, But lithp or no lithp, we all liked Win Brosius. 'I' .gl f V: Q 1 f- Q 1 41' Ethel Karmonocky and Carol Bradley were two of the cuties. Who topped the list of the High School beauties. Speaking ot beauties, as handsome as could be Was our Latin lover, Roy Gallucci. A very nice girl was Eileen lay, She appealed to the kids with her friendly way. As the school term went by these two boys got crazier. Those character's names?-Ioe Ramach and Ed Maser. To be back there again. what I wouldn't do. I sure miss those kids, what about you?
