The same design is used for a college ring. The rams on either side of the crest signify our emblem: the torch signifies education: the keystone represents our state: the winged foot is athletics: the quill and book signify scholarship: and the five links of the chain represent the five school districts of the jointure: Bolivar, New Florence , Seward, Fairfax Township , and St. Clair Township. Foreword We, the seniors of 1957, are eagerly looking ahead to the future. Soon we will be entering an entirely new and different environment where we will act as individuals . The projects which we undertook and accomplished during our school years such as class plays , Washington trip, Junior-Senior Prom, dances , athletic events , and school publications constitute a sample of what we , the class of '57, will do oh a larger and better scale in later life. This volume is a gathering of events in our senior year. In years to come, may this book offer you many. hours of satisfaction and enjoyment. We hope you appreciate our efforts in this edition of THE LAUREL for we haie enjoyed working and compiling this record of our school life. The class of '57 will never forget its wonderful years in this ,institute of learning, Laurel Valley Ioint High School, and the people who have made these short years worth-while and prosperous. if Editors Editor--MARIANNE BOTTEGAL The 1957 Laurel e Editors Present Co -Editor--JANE CRUSAN We Proudly Dedicczte . . . iii l ll The Senior Class of 1957 dedicates this volume of the LAUREL to Mr. Eugene Gorirossi--the band leader, a teacher, and a senior advisor--for his untiring effort, his patience , and his reliability.

EDWARD BOULDIN--Supervising Principal My work began with the class of '57 in September, 1952 , when most of you were in the eighth grade. As you began a new experience under a new school system , I too was beginning the specialized work of administration and supervision in your high school. You made a tremendously big job much lighter by your friendly, co-operative spirit. Looking back over your records as a class and as individuals , I recall your accomplishments with a feeling of pride and gladness. Our school was a better school because you were here. We have made progress because you were willing to help and to be taught. My most sincere congratulations and best wishes for success is extended to all of you. Sincerely, ,Q ' 5-afofffffefffff Edward I. Bouldin Supervising Principal MISS MARGARET BOYLE Secretary to Mr. Bouldin MISS SALLY MCKINNEY Clerk in office of Supervising Principal I , tk, . High School Principal MR. JOSEPH TARRIS--High School Principal To The Members ol the Senior Class: It is with deep appreciation that I write this farewell to you. I appreciate the opportunity to have helped in guiding and directing you through the many phases of both academic and extracurricular activities . You were a very cooperative and energetic group during your high school years and theseattitudes helpedto make Laurel Valley a better school system. I hope the knowledge you have acquired at Laurel Valley will help you achieve happiness and success.

ABSENT: Clement Rolling: Wilbur McClure. The Board of Education of the Laurel Valley Ioint School System is comprised of twenty-five energetic men and women from five school districts. They are Bolivar Borough, Fairfield Township, New Florence Borough, Seward Independent, and St. Clair Township. The President of this organization is Mr. Clifford C. Trexler of New Florence who has devoted a considerable amount of his time to the welfare of our schools. The Vice-President is Mr. John Conrad of St. Clair Township. The Secretary, a non member, is Miss Margaret Boyle of New Florence and the Treasurer is Miss Mary E. Horrell of the New Florence National Bank also a non member. On the third Monday of each month the people, who are elected for a period of six years , meet in the New Florence building and perform the many tasks necessary in the processes of conducting a school system. The members of this organization deserve much credit for their fine efforts. Being a member of the Board of Education is , at times , a difficult undertaking, and it is very seldom that the members ever receive a word of thanks . The students of L. V. I. H. S. wish to take this opportunity to thank these worthy leaders and wish them success in their endeavor to provide much needed modern facilities for education. Present Top Iwo LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Ioseph Tarris-High School Principal and Mr. Edward Bouldin-Supervising Principal In Room 17 you will find Mr. Tarris, a man with a pleasant voice and friendly smile. Mr. Tarris is ready and willing to help every student with her or his particular problems, no matter what they may be. He has also been known to have a word of warning to those who like to display their talents in other ways than by good grades and proper behavior. Mr. Tarris's job is a big one for he keeps the school running efficiently. Some of the various jobs that keep Mr. Tarris busy are the supervision of classroom instruction, operation of the cafeteria, schedules of teachers and pupils, Baccalaureate and Commencement, and supervision of the extracurricular activities. Even though Mr. Bouldin s office is located at New Florence, he fins time from his busy sched- ule and his many duties to visit the high school building nearly everyday. Mr. Bouldin always has time to give encouragement to many students who need a little extra push to accomplish some dif- ficult task. Those who have sought his advice have always found it to be wise and sound. Not only does he have a word of praise for those students who have done their work exceptionally well, but also he takes time to express his appreciation to our teachers who labor to try to improve our scholastic standings . 9 fi: ', li RIG MTW I1 hliwl N 'FF .1 2 3 c 1 s 91111 wa isis M zszmzazs 33253131 -, Faculty MRS.

To hear his voice, to see his smile, as in The days that used to be. But some sweet day we'11 meet again, Beyond the toil and strife , And clasp each other's hands once more In Heaven, that happy life. Thy will be done seems hard to say, When our good friend has passed away, Some day, perhaps , we'l1 understand, When we meet again in that better land.

Magnani: Senior Class: Thirty-eight dignified and attractive students compose the class of '57. Mr. Nickles carefully supervises the senior home room located next to the office. They have contributed their share of honor roll students, band members, bulletin workers, and participants in sports. They held the Halloween Dance which attracted one of the largest crowds of the year. Another project was the concession stand at the football games. Nearly all the seniors helped out. They not only had a good time but also made themselves a little money. No one will ever forget those delicious hot dogs and cups of steaming hot coffee served by the fair senior lads and lasses. The weather could be cold, wet, or snowy but those seniors with Mrs. Orr and Miss Nichols manned the concession stand so that the spectators would not be hungry or thirsty. Bob Wagner and Roy Caldwell really deserve a vote F. Henderson: B. Heap: Mr. Nickels. W. Jones: S. Martin. A ABSENT: I. Bobko: G. Flickingerl' of thanks for carrying many large pots of coffee for a few tiring hours without complaining. A play, AUNT CATHIE'S CAT, presented on March 22, 1957, attracted a large audience who thoroughly appreciated the acting ability of the seniors. The students really enjoyed portraying their parts. Who will ever forget Mary Cummings as Aunt Cathie, Jim Hurst as the Spaniard, and Bill Jones as the dead body ? They also spent large sums of money for pictures, name cards, announcements, yearbooks, and other senior must-haves. Of course, they had research themes, and one thing they'll never forget is Mrs. Chisnell's themes and book reviews. Shorthand classes in room eighteen with Mrs. Mabon dictating will be recalled by the commercial students long after graduation. Mr. Spinelli's lectures and discussions of the latest world crises in P.O. D. classes will also bring back many memories. Most of all, the co-operation and patience of Mr. Tarris will remain in their minds for many years to come. Left to Right: M. Kline, I. Garland, T. Parsha, President . . . . Gorirossl, Miss Nichols.

Gcrirossi Class History The first meeting of the Class of '57 was five years ago when Seward, New Florence, Bolivar, and Fairfield and St. Clair Townships united to form the Laurel Valley joint High School System. They as eighth graders , 78 of them, had to become acquainted with the idea of different rooms for their classes with different teachers. During this year, Skeets Mears made the junior high basketball team. He had all the girls' hearts fluttering. Art Bernabo, Seeley Magnani, Iack Hughes , and Lee Henderson were prominent members of the band under the direction of Mr. O'Hara. Many of the girls and boys alike joined the chorus. They had no projects or dues. All too soon the year came to an end. When school resumed again, they found Mr. Reynolds and Mrs. Montgomery as their homg room teachers and 65 students. During this year, many things happened to them. They held their first skating party at Cicero's Rink in Blairsville and theirfirst dance. Both went over very well. This was their first year for paying dues and planning the Washington Trip. They also encountered Mrs. Chisnell and her Latin book. This year seemed to go very fast for them , and it was not too long before they were debating on the course to take the next year. It seemed like no time at all, and they were back with most of their old friends , who were now only 59. They ran into more homework and fewer study halls. Shorthand and Spanish kept a lot of them off the honor roll, but they soon found the swing of it and were back on that honor roll. Besides that, they ran into Mr. Spizzirri with Iulius Caesar and his public Speaking- They also found time for some happy moments. One of these was the Sadie Hawkin's Dance, which really put the boys on the run. The happiness of their sophomore year was marred by the death of one of their nearest friends , Benny Klodell. Without Benny, time passed slowly, but finally, the junior year rolled around. Oh, what didn't happen that year! With the girls in room 12 and the boys in room 16 there was quite a lot of visiting in the halls. They will never forget the radio programs in Miss Weaver's English classes . Roy Caldwell, whose life was presented as Bruno Bunifatche, was the star of one of the programs en- titled This is Your Life. Other outstanding stars of the program were Lee Henderson as Ralph Henry and Art Bernabo as the announcer. The other stirring performance was entitled You Bet Your Report Card with Carl Chesla as none other than Groocho Marx. The two contestants were Io-Ann Garland as April Showers, a bongo dancer: and Gerald Flickinger, a Texan oil man. Barbara Heap was the sponsor of a cosmetic firm that was putting on the program. They also received their class rings, which have become Laurel Valley's standard rings. They had a nice time at their Halloween Dance, which was a very big success. Many of them took Drivers Education that year, and poor Mr. Chobany had a time teaching those girls to drive. Another feature was the play, Meet Me at the Prom , under the direction of Miss Cunningham . They will always remember Iane Crusan as Mom Madigan and the left- over cokes that they drank behind the stage. Most exciting of all was their prom entitled Dreamland. They toiled many long hours making leaves , stars , and painting branches . It was worth every minute of time because the gym was beautiful. The boys worked like little beavers carrying .glidersg but after all, it was a lot of fun. Soon came the last day of school, and that meant bidding farewell to their buddies again. It did not seem too long until they, 38 now, were in Room 16 getting seats and schedules. Their first big project that year was the concession stand at the football games . Who could ever forget JoAnne Schrock and Pat Mied in their bermudas selling steaming hot cups of coffee and Roy Caldwell cooking hot dogs. On the whole they did very well in their work and in their profits. Speaking of the games , the cheerleaders KMarianne Bottegal was the only senior, and football players fSkeets Mears , Tom Parsha, and Sam Martin were the only seniors! cannot be forgotten. The Halloween Dance was in their possession again this year too. There were no decorations but two cake walks were held, and the profits were very pleasing. Of course, they cannot forget the yearbook. The staff was formed near the end of their junior year and continued working until they had done a very nice job. It had to be to press by February 157 and, with the help of Mrs. Chisnell, they made it in plenty of time. The senior play, Aunt Cathie's Cat, was a mystery comedy presented on March 22 , 1957 . Under the direction of Miss Nichols, they had a fine time performing. Besides , who could ever forget Fay Henderson as the maidl Can they ever forget the excitement of the senior pictures , announcements, name cards , and the planning for the Washington Trip? After all the fussing and worrying , the trip was very educational and enjoyable. Now as they come down the aisle , each with a diploma in his hand, they can say it was a lot of work mixed with a half cup of fun plus a tablespoon of trouble blended in with a package of wonderful teachers and then poured out into the world as 38 well-prepared citizens--thanks to Laurel Valley. 25 Class Prophecy Quiet everybody. This is the R. G. Caldwell Broadcasting Station. We are now tuning in on the biggest event in all the Ages of History. The most successful people in the world are meeting at Layton's Paradise , the largest restaurant this side of Mars. It is owned exclusively by Edwin Lagon, The food is prepared by that great dietitian, Miss Ianet Bobko. Miss Bobko has found a new scientific formula for preparing food that is guaranteed not to bother your ulcers . Seeley Magnani ls flying the guests to the Layton in his latest invention, the Butchsoda. This vehicle is capable of flying in the air or cruising on the highway.. It is very easy to handle since it is only ten blocks long. Vincent LaMant1a and Iack Huqhes, the owners of the largest meat packing company, are supply- ing the meat for the feast. They have incorporated the fifteen major meat companies into their own firm. All are breathless as they take their first look at the ballroom. The interior decorating was under the management of Miss Marianne Bottegal. She has designed the ballroom to resemble the starry sky on a warm summer night. Rumor has it that she copied the design from a prom of '56. James Burkett and Gerald Flickinggr, Walt Disney's new artists , were responsible for the beautiful portraits that grace the walls. The artists work under the title of Burk G Flick. Their next assignment will be to draw cartoons to amuse the United Planets. ' The Layton is especially noted for the efficiency of its staff, which is under the direction of Miss Barbara Smyder. Miss Smyder's staff has over 3,000 members. Music for this memorable evening is under the leadership of that great composer, Arthur Bernabo. He is head of the Little Men's Music Association. The newest dance craze all over the universe was first danced by this versatile man. It is called the Art1e. The guests are beginning to arrive. First, of course, is that banking tycoon, Carl Chesla. Rumor has it that he has just taken over the Rockmellon Stock Exchange. His private treasurer ls Wllllam lones. Mr. Iones is also the treasurer for the Mighty Mouse Club. Miss Carole Caldwell and her assistant, Miss Marlon Howard, are just approaching the huge oaken doors . These doors are the products of that great lumberman, Alvin Brown. Miss Caldwell is the head fYPist for the Roommark Card Company. Miss Howard is always by her side. The New York Times has recently announced its new editor, Lee Henderson. Lee plays the piano in his spare time. At this time , he is ready to play a selection from Chopanzo. Miss Evelyn Harr has just arrived. You can easily identify Miss Harr by her red hair. Everyone wishes to congratulate her on her success in the new Shetler 6. Harr Account1ng'Flrm. Her companion ls none other than Miss Nancy Foltz. Miss Foltz is also to be congratulated: she is head bookkeeper of the I. C. Penny Company in Mercury. Yes, james Gamble has just arrived at the Brown Door. He is president of the Gamble Construction Company. He has discovered a substance that holds boards together without nails. It seems that one day Jim dropped his bubble gum on a board. The result netted him another cooLtr1lllon. Miss Barbara loan Heap and her ten poodles have just stepped from their Cadillac. She is principal of the Neat Secretarial School. Her-nickname is Heap, the Petite. The world-famous Dior of 1967 is Miss Donna Lear. Miss Lear has designed the gowns for all the ladies present. Her next assignment is to design the gomm for Miss Venus of '70. Miss Patricia Mied is not here yet. She had to type up the last minutes of the Senate meeting. She was voted the fastest typlst in the universe by the Kline Statistics Magazine. Miss Mgna Kline ls the editor of this magazine. On week ends, she goes to Africa with the Richard Safari. The .nations No. one man at the present is james Hurst. Ilm manufactures Curly, the home permanent for men. I hear the males are golng for it ln a big way. Professor Ludwig, head of Yaleduke'Unlvers1ty, is the speaker for the evening. Iohn also splits atoms in his spare time. The Olympic champions , Miss JoAnne Schrock and Mlss Fay Henderson, will be late for the ball. The President of the United States is just awarding them the Gold Medal of Athletes for being the out- standing runners of the century. The busiest people at this time are Miss lane Crusan and Miss Mary Cummings, ambassadors of Satum and Neptune. The two planets are arguing over the question of who ls going to get the first sunbeam of the year. The situation is now apparently under control. The new Supreme Court Justice, Harry Mears , and his legal secretary, Miss lo-Ann Garland, were collaborating on the biggest issue ever to smash into the world of justice. Raland Shlngler and Robert Wager, the world's richest men, are debating over the question of who has the most money. After considerable thought, Chief Iustice Mears ruled that they both had equal wealth. When Miss Garland is not working on a case, she works on a new shorthand manual, the Herb Method, that ls going to cut shorthand to a minimum. Miss Nancy Hepner, the head of Amalgamated Selgh Telephone Company, has just invented a new system. You just turn a dial, and you can see as well as hear the person talking. The famous whiz in the world of electronics and the director of the R. G. Caldwell Broadcasting System is , of course, Roy Caldwell. He has done much to improve sound waves. The new manager of General Don Mills , Miss Iane Muir, has just arrived. She had devised a new cereal called cherio-with-a-center-ln-it. There is a great demand for it. Last, but certainly not least, are those two great football stars , Sam Martin and Tom Parsha. They are the chief players of the Chobanymen Team. They have never lost a game. Well, you have met the most famous people in the universe. They hope you will come back to the Paradise to see them often.

The Iunior Class was one of the very enthusiastic groups in the school. Members partic- ipated in band, chorus, student council, football, basketball, baseball, the Hi-Lite and Laurel staffs , and cheerleading. They wrote and typed newspaper articles , did write -ups for the year- book, won athletic and contest awards , and sold subscriptions in the magazine campaign. Besides this they wrote themes , essays , worked on projects, and did homework for their regular classes. The homerooms were eighteen and nineteen with Mrs. Mabon and Mr. Pudliner as teachers. The sponsors were Mr. Howard and Mr. Nickels to whom the Juniors are grateful for their wise advise. The Iuniors are already planning for their trip to Washington. They pay dues of 25? every week. The class held their annual dance, and with the co-operation of the students, the evening turned out to be a success. Another accomplishment was the Iunior Play, Crazy But Cute , directed by Mr. Klaum. To show their appreciation, the cast, stage managers , and prompters presented Mr. Klaum a gift. 30 I uniors t.

In September the Iuniors received their high school rings which had been ordered in the spring. This wonderful event made them very excited and happy. The rings were the standard styles selected the preceding year. Finally on May 3rd the social event of the year arrived--the Iunior-Senior Prom. The Juniors had spent many weeks in preparations and in planning. The result was a beautifully decorated auditorium and the music was perfect for the attractive girls and handsome boys to display their dancing abilities. The Iuniors can well be proud of this night to remember. The junior Glass wishes to thank Mr. Tarris , teachers, sponsors, friends , and associates for making this one of their best terms. They will return in the fall of 1957 as seniors with many ideas and suggestions for a successful and exciting final year. LEFT TO RIGHT: I. Glessner, Mr. Nickels, L. Piasente, J. Trusz, K.

The members of the sophomore class , an energetic group at Laurel Valley, spread their joy and ambition throughout our school. These students are very happy and proud to be in the senior high. The future class of 1959 takes part in all the school activities. These students partic- ipate in sports , band, chorus , student council, HI-LITE , clubs, and other special programs . The class dance held in the spring was the outstanding event of the year for this group. They pay dues of twenty-five cents on Thursday of each week to finance their trip to Washington when they are seniors. This year's class has about 100 members who are divided into three sections. Each homeroom has its own officers. The-Class Officers are as follows: .,...- CLASS OFFICERS President ........ ............... . . Ralph Hedges Vice-President Ralph Henderson Secretary' ....... ....

However, they considered their class dance the outstanding social affair of the year. Every morning the cafeteria and rooms four and eleven echoed with the happy voices of the 100 freshmen. Class dues were faithfully paid each week so that by 1960 all would be ready to board the buses for Washington, D, C . Many of these ninth graders participated in extracurricular activities such as football, basketball, baseball, junior chorus, band, intramurals, Student Council, and the HI-LITE. Of one accomplishment in particular were they proud, the large number of class names which appeared on the Honor Roll each six weeks period. . , ..:..,!l.xg..l,1 ,,,.

Under the guidance of Miss Weaver they pondered the ideas of themes and finally decided that they would use the hands to co-ordinate the book. With the help of Barbara Heap' and Arthur Bernabo, whose hands were photographed, they achieved their desire. After deciding on the theme, they had to plan for and schedule the taking of pictures . When the negatives were returned to the school, these were sized according to the desired shapes to be used on certain pages. The negatives were then returned to Covers' Studio for the printing of the glossy pictures. After the staff received the photos , they cropped these to the desired size and shape and then glued them to a dummy sheet. After all the pictures were placed, it was then time to start identifying the people in the pictures. What a task that was! All feature writing was next completed. Finally after checking and rechecking the dummy copy, the staff sent the LAUREL to press on February 15 , 1957. Many seniors were happy to see it go and yet happier when the printed books returned. Under the guidance of Mrs. Chisnell, our sponsor, the editors are proud to have had a share in composing this book. We hope you like it. The editorial staff consisted of: Editor . . . . . .

The reporters , feature writers , and editors have worked diligently and successfully to give members of our high school a paper once a month. After the reporters have written the articles , these reports go to the commercial editor. She in turn hands them to the typists who make rough drafts. Next the typed reports go to the layout editor who sets up a dummy. The dummies are typed and are given to the typing editor to be checked for errors. The typists run off about 450 copies on the Gestetner. The entire commercial staff then assembles , checks, and staples the papers. The business manager and her assistant put notices in the bulletin of the dates for the collection of payments, collect the money, and distribute the paper to the homeroom represent- atives . 45 mfr s Student Council .0- SEATED3 Uleft to Right, S.

At the meetings the eighteen representatives, the four officers, and Mr. Spinelli, the sponsor, heard the reports of the secretary, the treasurer, and committee chairmen. Next they cleared up the un- finished business from preceding meetings. Last they took up new business. Everybody is given a chance to express his views and then the motions are voted on. Here are the important deci- sions of this year. In the fall the council completed the purchase of the public address system that they bought for the benefit of the Laurel Valley school System. Spectators can hear this in use at all home football games and other activities which take place at the New Florence field. The money to DUTCTIGSS this PA SYS'fem WGS raised through the Coca-Cola vending machine outside the high school cafeteria. As it is the custom , the student council bought and decorated a Christmas tree for the holiday season. Usually this tree is placed in the upper hall, but this year it was decided to move it downstairs. There everyone could see it, and it could be enjoyed during the Christmas program. With the co-operation of Mr. Gibson, a window pole was made available in room 16 for the flag that the student council received from Congressman Kelly. This flag that once flew over the Capitol in Washington, D. C. , now flies over our school on special occasions. This year the student council assisted the chairman with the May Day program. They arranged the setting and put up the decorations. 47 ROW ROW ROW ROW ROW , :fl Band fi: Pay! ONE: fLeft to Rrghtl L. Henderson, H. LaMant1a, L. Burkett, M. Wagner, L. Longonecker, l.. Henderson.

Magnani, Mr. Gorlrossi x ' Band lf at first you don't succeed, try and try again. That- was the quote most often heard by the members of the L.V.H.S. band on the morning of August 22 , 1956, the opening of band camp. This year there were ten new additions , making a total of forty-eight band members, a drum major, and six majorettes. The purpose of the band camp is to familiarize the people with a marching band's environment That includes marching drills , playing while marching, performing under obstacles Csuch as bad weatherl , learning to obey the rules set up by the band's director, and to work out half-time shows for the football games. The band participated in every Ram gridiron match in the past football season. That was an accomplishment, for it was the first time a Laurel Valley band had gone to every game away. It was a major task for Mr. Gorirossi, the director, and the banrl to select and perfect the different showsp but they came through with great style. One of their most outstanding half-time performances was the Droodlc Show. After the football season was over, the music makers were i ile until after the Christmas vacation. Then they immediately went into practicing for their high light of the year, The Spring Concert, The audience enjoyed their music that evening, because Mr. Corirossi and the band did very well in presenting their selections of many different types and arrangements of music. The program included everything from Bach to boogie. Afief this P1'GSSHi6fiOH the band members still had to practice many times again, for they were to display their talents in a few more activities . Along with the band, are two other groups which aid in its success. The first is the band managers: Tom Rhoades, Cliff Henderson, and Roger Garland. These boys are Mr. Gorirossi's right-hand men. The second is the Band Mothers' Association who plan, prepare for, and present the annual band banquet: To band members, the organization is really a school of music within a high school. They have scheduled classes when taking their lessons, a quiz at their meetings , a review at rehearsal where they correct any errors that may have been overlooked, and lastly they have a final test at their presentation. Summarizing, it must be said that band is one of the school's most active organizations, which works in iividually, but also mingles and blends with the other activities and associations. It is a very fine, educational opportunity which the band members will treasure throughout their high school days. Cheerleaders ROW ONE: B. Spory, M. Fry. ROW TWO: I. Wynn, P. Hutchison. ROW THREE: I. Ritenour, M. Bottegal. This year the varsity cheering squad welcomed the addition of two sophomore girls , Bonnie Spory and Io Ann Wynn. The cheerleaders held practices twice a week after school even though it meant getting home late. They practiced long and hard to achieve perfection and pep. The girls have learned to make contact with the group and bring out the cheers and yells for the teams. Another thing that added to the spirit and performance of this group was the new uniforms that the girls wore. The outfits were received with ohs and ahs by the student body. The Iunior High Basketball Cheerleaders appeared on the floor to lead the cheers at the Iunior High and Junior Varsity basketball games. These girls are just in the beginning stages of their training and will advance every year. A lot of work must be done before one can be a cheer- leader, and these interested students have been working very hard to learn new cheers and motions With the help of the varsity girls they added new motions to old cheers which brought about a new peppy approach. Many difficulties were met by the cheerleaders, and somehow they managed to overcome them with the help of their sponsors, Mrs. Harris and Miss Salerno. Co-operation is the motto of the cheerleaders.

Could those sweet notes really be coming from those Seventh and eighth graders? Yes! They are. Mr. Gorirossi is waving his baton and all seventy students have their eyes on him. They are enjoying the pleasure of singing together as a group. Songs of all kinds are mastered by these young students. Many of these sweet voices will be heard in the following years in the Senior Chorus. This group meets on Thursdays. Ianie Neiport, their accompanist, is a great help to both the Junior and Senior Choruses. Mr. Gorirossi is proud of the accomplishments of the chorus for several reasons: the improvement in their ability to read music, their mastery of several difficult numbers, and their ever increasing interest in good music. The group blends their voices beautifully in harmony which requires much work on the part of the students . They enjoy singing and are proud to be members of the Junior Chorus.

These fine voices are probably rehearsing for a future program. The Senior Chorus is composed of 66 members from the 9th, 10th, llth, and l2th grades Under the excellent direction of Mr. Eugene Gorirossi, the chorus is constantly working for improvement in their singing. Each member is proud to be a participant. The chorus took part in the Christmas Program. Some of the songs they sang were O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem , Angels We Have Heard on High, Beautiful Savior, and Amen Response. They are now practicing for Commencement exercises. At rehearsals they also sing popular songs such as Ioey, Autumn Leaves , and others like Lo a Voice and Ride That Chariot. This year Carole Caldwell, Evelyn Harr, Barbara Heap, Nancy Foltz, Janie Crusan, Barbara Smyder, Iim Hurst, and Bill Jones, the Senior members of the chorus , will receive gold pins as a merit for good work. jk-.- ROW ONE: Miss Nichols, R.

They re - s hearsed every day in activity period T ' and also held a few evening practices. They worked hard to speak in loud , clear tones with the patient coaching of the director. The action of the story revolved around Dan Dover, the typical teen-age boy who spent his time working with all kinds of gadgets without much thought for girls. His mother thought it was time he began developing social grace and poise. As a result of this , he found himself with three dates for a dance, which he naturally didn't care about or want to attend. After much confusion, everything was solved. The juniors enjoyed presenting their play as much as the audience enjoyed seeing it. .....,,,,,,, , r..p-vs1'a-:gas ' Aunt Cathie's Cat What is more spine-tingling than a spooky, old mansion that has been shut up for a long time? That's what the audience was thinking when they were watching the Senior Play, AUNT CATHIB'S CAT, on March 14 and 15. From the very opening of the curtain the audience was kept in suspense by a strange white -faced woman dressed in black, but then they were released from their tension by having a little Spanish in the dialogue with the peculiar accent of jose Garcia Ulm Hurstj. Practice for the seniors started immediately after the Christmas vacation and ended on the day be- fore the performance. The drama students worked earnestly under the direction of Miss Nichols , but they also found time to have fun during their work . Mr. Klaum, C. Cushman fBetty Shawl, S. Hood. I.

He took over his duties as -though he had been Mr. Chobany's assistant for years. This year, Mr. Chobany presented a plan to the team. The idea was to have a meeting one night a week to discuss football. Because of the success of the plan, Mr. Chobany expects to continue it throughout next year. XKAWHMKNXY XX- ! 'Nfx x f MW-, WW Qu, Nfl X x J Managers Before a football team can make its appearance on the field, the players must have equipment. It is the first duty of the managers to issue uniforms to the players and to keep accurate records of these. After the uniforms have been issued, the managers must also keep accurate records of the remaining equip- ment and keep all supplies in an orderly arrangement so that these can be located easily. It's also the responsibility of the managers to make sure that the proper articles are taken to games and also that accurate statistics are kept for each game. Last, but not by any stretch of the imagination least, the managers must see to the physical needs of the players such as taping an ankle or applying iodine to a Cut. The managers wish to thank the Quarterback Club for contributing the Coveralls. Grid Heroes ' fr 'W 19 .X E2 Xa A Cl A , 'XXX 0 184' pn- -- ... - ww- 4 ' , E A,.-,. 45 ak. '.

On November 5 the Laurel Valley Basketball team began practice under the direction of Mr. Pahach and Mr. Howard. There were three returning lettermen: two were seniors. This season the Rams had one ofthe smallest teams with only one player reaching the height of six feet. On November 30 the Rams started their 24 game schedule and the Laurel Valley cagers won three games straight. They then slowed down and lost seven in a row and then won three out of the last five they have played thus far Uanuary 28, l957l. The record at the time that this book went to press stood at six wins and nine losses. The Rams have played many good games against their rougher opponents, but due to lack of bench strength they have lost a number of their games. This season in a bid for the Southern Cambria League Championship, Laurel Valley is fourth in the standings with one win and two losses. The league is playing a straight through season and not two halves as they have done in the past. The chances for the title this year are fairly good, the Rams should be able to defeat any other team in the league, if they play good basketball. The student body appreciates the efforts of these players and their coaches, The 1956-57 schedule is as follo Ram s 3 3 Ligonier 40 Laura Lamar 44 Franklin 36 Washington Township 38 Washington Township 48 Johnstown Catholic 5 3 Conemaugh 41 Penn Township 48 Conemaugh 40 Dale 4 6 Blacklick 70 Connellsville Catholic WS: Ogg . 29 39 28 38 49 79 57 52 56 41 34 47 Rams 41 69 47 41 Beaverdale Laura Lamar Johnstown Catholic Dale Blacklick Southmont Beaverdale Southmont Connellsville Catholic Franklin United Joint United Joint Ogg. 58 53 63 50 I unior Varsity LEFT TO RIGHT: I.

Although the junior varsity is small, this group of young boys show good promise for future varsity membership. Under the coach- ing of Mr. Howard, these youngsters are being taught to play man-to-man basketball, to incorporate more alertness, and to think and to have better reactions. The junior varsity also has a record ot six wins and nine losses at present time with nine more games aheadflanuary 28, 19571. The team is playing fairly good ball, and they are eager to learn and will be very good if they continue their progress. These boys spend long hours practicing and are eager to learn to play the game scientifically.

The junior high team which is coached by Mr. Howard played a nine game schedule this year. At the present time Uanuary 28, 19571, they have won one and lost five. Although they have a poor record, the boys look better than in the previous years. The team is composed of seventh and eighth graders. They are very small, but they play hard and try their best to win. In the next few years some of these boys will be playing varsity ball. As these fellows learn to play good, sound basketball, they will progress into a fine team .

The coaches used these veterans to the best advantage and worked the other less ex- perienced players into the starting team. With the co-operation of the players and a lot of good hard work, Mr. Pahach managed to turn out a team to be proud of. Mr. Howard , who coaches the Iunior Varsity, had his troubles fitting together a team because he lost several of his best players to the Varsity. But by taking advantage of the opportu- nities and with the co-operation of the boys he managed to turn out a suitable team. If some people think that the I. V. players are rather small , they should remember that what they lack in size they make up for in ability. Basketball Managers Before a basketball team can play, the players must have the necessary uniforms and equipment and it is the duty of the managers also make sure that the other At least one manager must attend each practice session and he of anything from taping an ankle to chasing basketballs . the managers must see that the necessary equipment and medical supplies are loaded on the bus .

The Rams who played a six game schedule won five and lost one All ho el Valley added baseball to their sports program. The new team which was comprised mostly of seniors was man . me games were played at Seward. Because no money was allotted for uniforms , the players had to acquire their own. The Rams won five out of six games. There were three first string players batting over 400, and the team's batting average as a whole was over 300. The Rams also had a good pitching staff, and they have some good younger pitchers coming up. The schedule for the '56 season was as follows: L.V. OPPONENTS 1 Iohnstown 2 15 Conemaugh 3 5 Adams Township 1 9 Windber 3 19 Franklin 1 5 Iohnstown Catholic 2 This year Laurel Valley has entered the Tri-County League in hopes of winning a championship. The Rams will probably prove to be one of the tougher opponents in the league. They will play an eight game league schedule during the 1957 season and several independent games . This year the school will field a completely outfitted team. The Tri-County League schedule for 1957 is as follows: April 23 Westmont--away: April 25 Conemaugh--home: April 30 Johnstown Catholic--away: May 2 Ferndale--home: May 7 Johnstown--home: May 9 Franklin--away: May 14 Indiana--away: May 16 Cresson--home. 76 X E 5 sv ,, Q tg 9 1 SQ 4 .. as 1 LEFT TO RIGHT: JoAnne Schrock, Patricia Mied, Barbara Heap, Carole Caldwell, Evelyn Harr, Nancy Foltz.

The daily routine of a bulletin worker consists of going to the rooms and collecting the absentee lists, typing an alphabetic list of the absentees for the records , typing up a master, typing on the announcements , having it checked in the office, running off about 30 copies , getting a check list from the office, and finally deliver- ing it to the teachers to be read to the students . The bulletin is done twice a day, and these girls deserve a lot of credit because they work hard to make a neat, accurate bulletin. Lunch Tickets A representative from each homeroom reports to Iane Crusan between 8:30 and 8:40 in the upstairs hall to purchase lunch tickets or obtain lunch slips for students who have forgotten their lunch tickets. Approximately 180 tickets are sold each week. Money re- funds are not given on lunch tickets: a student receives credit on buying another one . LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Galbraith, Miss Dipofi, Miss Burkett . LEFT TO RIGHT: I. Muir, N. Roby. Cooks Mrs. Clara Mae Galbraith, head cook, is in charge of the cafeteria and plans all menus. She has two assistants , Miss Anna Mary Burkett and Miss Nicholine Dipofi. These three capable ladies prepare and serve the meals in the school cafeteria. Mrs. Galbriath and Miss Burkett always report to work before eight o'c1ock each morning. Miss Dipofi arrives at eleven o'clock to help with the additional work . Their job requires careful planning and estimating and a lot of hard work. These three ladies must not only be able to prepare all types of food but also be able to bake cookies , cakes, pies , and even corn bread for approximately 200 people each day. At ll:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. , the two lunch periods , these smiling and cheerful cooks quicklylserve all the hungry students and teachers who are eagerly waiting for their lunches. The student body and faculty agree that they do an excellent job of preparing delicious food. Ticket Punchers Jane Muir has charge of collecting and punching tickets during the first lunch period: Nora Roby has the job during the next period. Their work is more than punching weekly tickets. They collect milk tickets from those who bring the lunches but purchase milk , make a daily report of number of tickets collected to the office , count the number of teachers who eat in the cafeteria both weekly and daily , and on the last day of each Week collect all the tickets-. Chow Hounds With the sounds of running feet, the chattering of hungry people, and the dishing out of delicious food, the cafeteria at ll:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. is really buzzing. Most of these active students usually return for seconds, which proves how good and plentiful the food is. Everyone enjoys the happy lunch periods spent in the school cafeteria with his buddies . ir the 79 Miss Rebecca McKinney and patient Roger Stivison Miss McKinney Miss Rebecca McKinney is our school nurse. She has a wonderful personality that can never go unnoticed, When her assistance is needed, she is always ready to give it. Miss McKinney visits ten schools in the Laurel Valley Iointure--the grade schools in New Florence and Seward and seven grade schools in Fairfield Township--Hamill School, Stewart School, West School, Factory School, West Fairfield School, and two buildings in West Bolivar. Miss McKinney visits each school at least once a week, regardless of the weather conditions . Her services are also given to the high school students in Bolivar, where her office is located. Miss McKinney received her nurse's education at the Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg, where she later supervised the children's ward for three years. She was a Navy Nurse for several years during World War II. In l955, she received her B.S. Degree in Nursing Education at the University of Pittsburgh, For the past five years she has also assisted the doctors while physical examinations were given to the pupils in the jointure . Miss McKinney's untiring efforts have always been appreciated by all. MR. FRANK GIBSON Mr. F rank Gibson To the students and faculty of Laurel Valley Ioint High School, Mr. Gibson is the one person with whom they just couldn't do without. No matter what hour of day or night, Kexcluding the hours eleven to 'three ,J an individual might open the doors of Laurel Valley'High, he will find Mr. Gibson somewhere in the building. I-ie keeps an accurate tab on the cleaning and repairing of the building, caring for the grounds , and firing the boilers. During zero weather last January everyone enjoyed Miami temperatures in the classrooms because of Mr. Gibson's consideration for us . Mr. Gibson deserves credit for the good condition of the seats in the classrooms , the fine care which he takes of our gym floor, and the many favgrs which he does everyday for students and faculty. If a person needs anything repaired, a problem solved, a friend to listen to his troubles, or just wants to pass the time of day, Mr. Gibson is the man for any of these. No truer friend can be found anywhere. Anyone who has ever been agsgciated with Laurel Valley can always recall some fond memory of Frank. This in itself is a great tribute to the character of our Mr. Gibson. Absentees r af' Wfgwllf ROW ONE: KLeft to Rightl C. Swank, B. Sessions, M. Irwin, C. Galbraith, J. Duncan, I. Bobko, S. Mears.

Mr. Pahach Every morning at 8:20 the students see Mr. Pahach with a smiling face going into room 1 In his hand he is carrying the absentee list and the admit slips. There is usually a long, single -file line of boys and girls waiting to see him. Everyone who was absent is prepared to give him his excuse. All the students appreciate Mr. Pahach's patience while he is listening to their expla- 5. nations for their absence. After careful consideration he determines the legality of their excuses On file cards Mr. Pahach keeps a careful record of the unexcused and excused absences of all students . MR.

The ceiling of light and dark blue crepe paper with all sizes of silver stars suspended from the waves of streamers gave the prom a dreamy mood. The doors were decorated with flower-covered trellises , and large silhouettes of boys and girls were placed on the walls. The stage was decorated to give the appearance of a silvery lake with a large, brilliant moon shining on it. Punch was served from a cleverly constructed well. The enjoyable and entertaining music was supplied by Anthony Ferry and his orchestra. Mr. Gorirossi crowned the Queen of Dreamland, Nancy Jones, Class of 1956. After the dance, the POSt PTOU1 P6-1 fY WGS held at the AmeriCar1 Legion. The Ladies Auxiliary sponsored the party The entertainment was provided by the Moonmisters Band. 83 ..
