T LINDA UJNGENECKER Eamon FOREWURD After many weeks of discussion and debate the LAUREL staff of 1958- 59 selected FOOTSTEPS TO FORTUNE as the theme of our yearbook. We have tried to depict in pictures as well as editorials the footsteps of our past that will play an important part in our road to fortune. This is our story of an eventful year at Laurel Valley portrayed in a living age of youth displaying unlimited energy, individual talents, and participation in the quest for knowl- edge. Even after darkness the footsteps re-echo within the halls of Laurel Valley. Memories ofthe opening notes of the annual spring band concert, the first speech of the spring play, the melody of the opening tune at the junior-senior prom are important parts of the pattern of the student's life. Our staff hopes that you will have much enjoyment in retracingthe steps you took in the past. In the future may all your footsteps lead to fortune. z ?' l:!l EDITOR - LINDA LONGENECKER LEFI' TO RIGHT: BONNIE SPORY, Feature Editor: IAURA BURKEIT, Layout Editor: MARYANN WAGNER, Business Manager. EDITORS pg, A715 ,rffy pf' DEDICATION We, the Seniors of 1959, dedicate this seventh volume of the LAUREL to Mrs. Mildred L. Mabon for her patience and reliability as a teacher and a senior advisor. During her years of teaching at Laurel Valley, she has sought to make her students better secretaries and stenographers by understanding their needs and developing their talents. The knowledge and skills required for careers in the business world are thoroughly explained. She has displayed untiring efforts in the typ- ing of tests for the faculty and also in the publication of this annual. MRS. MILDRED L.

F gm c1uLi cf nclminisfrah amd c i Qi ADMINISTRATIU To the graduates of Laurel Valley High School, Class of 1959: May I take this opportunity to congratulate the students of the class of '59 upon your grad- uation from Laurel Valley High School. You may be tired of hearing about the great challenges that lie before you: the wide, wide world you are about to face, challenges that exist in the field of sciencep and the many complexities of life that you will encounter in the future. All these things are true. But have no fear, instead of being obstacles that seem much too great to overcome, they should arouse in you a friendly spirit of competition for your place in life. l believe it is important that young people realize the challenges that face the graduates today are no greater than the challenges that were faced in previous generations. Competition in life is keen but this has always been so. The ambitious young people of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. Are you a leader? You can be if that is your desire. It is your responsibility to mold your own life. Your teachers in public school have done their part for the past twelve years to guide you in the use of your interests and abilities to their best advantage. l sincerely believe the education you have received in Laurel Valleyis a solid foundation for your future life in the world. It is, however, just a beginning, you are now on your own. Good luck and Godspeed. I. Ernest Iohnson Supervising Principal MISS MARGARET BOYLE Seen tary to Mr johnsm MISS WANDA LEAR - Clerk in the office of Supervising Principal V V' A-Py:'g:?v1f1L.zv-'1x'4-an-,.,1-: me ,, V . P 1' N guided our footsteps with capable leadership To the graduates--1959: Your stay in school has been very brief in terms of hours and months. What you learned here can never be measured exactly, but a frank soul-search will give you an individual answer. The answer to what you got will surely lie closest to what you gave--to your parents, your teachers, your studies, your classmates, and underclass- men. In other words, did you give yourself a high school education or did you entertain the fallacy that education is given? Only the oppor- tunity to learn is given. Mere exposure is not enough. What you did with these precious gifts was largely your own doing or undoing. And iron- ically, what you did with your school years is a pretty good sample of what you will do with future opportunities--and they are all'round you. It is my pleasure and privilege to congratulate each of you as you reach this milestone in your lives. May your future be blessed with good deeds through sound choosing in this land of opportunity unlimited. George L. Spinelli Principal Miss Bonavero was secretary to Mr Spinelli until January, 1959, when she resigned to accept a position in private industry. Mrs Io Ann Riddell, our new secretary, is known for her cheery smile and her willingness to give a help ing hand to all. Board Of Education works for school improvements F' L9 Eva.: .

The members are elected ior a period oi six years. The president of the Board of Education is Mr. Clifford C. Trexler of New Florence. Mr. Iohn Conrad oi St. Clair Township holds the office oi vice-president. The secretary is Miss Margaret Boyle oi New Florence and the treasurer is Miss Mary E. Horrell of the New Florence National Bank, both the secretary and treasurer are non-members. Our school board is responsible for many matters that tne students of Laurel Valley take for granted. They have the tasks oi hiring personnel, supplying the transportation for students, sup- ervising the maintenance oi buildings, keeping us equipped with needed supplies, approving school budgeting, and performing many other necessary tasks. New school buildings are a major concern just now. The joint junior-senior high school and the Fairfield Township elementary projects are both moving lrorn planning stage to reality. We know that these new facilities will soon be ready to serve our community. The Class of 1959 thanks the Board oi Education for the large part they have played in our re- ceiving an excellent education at Laurel Valley. We will always prosper from it. We know this energetic organization will continue to provide the best educational facilities that they can. IO 'N FAC U LTY IRENE L.

The trail ends with Commencement, May The trail was long and hard, but we finally arrived at our des- tination. The strains of Pomp and C1rcumstance the laurel Valley seniors marched proudly to the stage for a command performance--to receive their diplomas. In the years to come when we look back upon this school year, it will be remembered among our most pleasant memories. We have been too long a part of this school to put it aside wlth cap and govm. We are proud to call Laurel Valley our Alma Mater. Seniors Prom Z to A - I. ZARAGOZA5 B.

Dear Diary, Time seems to have gone so fast as I sit here and look back over the past. The memories I have of my classmates and of Laurel Valley are ones l'll treasure forever. lt seems like yesterday when we, the class of 1959, met for the first time. All we seventh grade students assembled in the auditorium to meet our new classmates from Seward, Bolivar, New Florence, and Fairfield and St. Clair Townships. Since we were a large group of 98 members, we were divided into three sections, but we remained united in spirit. Nearly every student partici- pated in some extracurricular activity whether it was sports, the HI-LITE, or chorus. These special activities didn't affect our grades because there were quite a few seventh graders on the honor roll. Soon vacation time was here. Our first year at Laurel Valley had passed smoothly and quickly. Eighty-six eighth graders reported the next year, and we were once more divided into three sections. We began paying class dues and our thoughts drifted ahead to our future trip to Wash- ington, D. C. This year Laurel Valley offered a club program for the first time, and we were eager to choose the organization of our choice. Several boys were beginning to show their athletic ability. The honor roll was a pride to look at because many of our names were there. With two years at Laurel Valley behind us, we returned as freshmen. We were still a large class with 86 students. We made our first big decision that year when we decided which course we would footprints representing their past experiences take. This was a big Step because we were now making plans for our future careers. Algebra was a new experience, but the honor roll showed that it gave many of the students no trouble. Soon another year was nearly over, and we were looking forward to our summer vacation. When the 82 sophomores returned, we faced new experiences. The -academic group had Spanish for the first time and enjoyed confusing their classmates. The commercial students' typing was just as confusing, but both classes studied eagerly. Extracurricular activities kept many of us busy, but all were excited when they ordered their class rings. Soon another profitable year ended. The 72 returning juniors who looked forward to an exciting year were not disappointed . Our junior play, Swing Your Partner, was a hilarious success. Our Christmas Ball gave the students an opportunity to dress in their new Christmas outfits and dance to an orchestra. This year we were given many tests to see what our scholastic abilities were. Soon we were decorating for our Junior- Senior Prom. Our theme was Hawaiian Holiday, and we had nearly as much fun decorating as wedid attending the prom itself. Quickly this year ended. With eager anticipation we looked forward to entering Laurel Valley as seniors . The day, September 4, 1958, that we had dreamed of for so long was here. We realized at last how close we were to college or work and began to try to raise our grades. We studied poetry and learned about the operations of our government. Chemistry baffled some, while others slaved over trig and shorthand. We seemed to be busy every minute with sports, our spring play, band, chorus, senior pictures, name cards, and the preparations for our Washington trip. These busy weeks will remain as one of our happiest memories. As I write the final entry in my diary, I recall those last fleeting moments of that wonderful and joyous month of May. After taking our final examinations, we planned for our graduation with en- thusiasm. Soon the day, May 21, was here and on that night with confused feeling we took our places on the stage. As we glanced around at our parents, teachers, and friends, we knew that those wonderful years at Laurel Valley could never be duplicated or recaptured for us. We felt tears of sorrow streaming down our faces because we were leaving a mold of life that had been familiar for so long. As we looked around once more, our tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy for this climactic night was not the ending but the beginning of our footsteps toward true success which belongs to the individual who sets his goal high, travels always toward it, and refuses to be sidetracked.

We forgot Ioel Amid the fuss and confusion, thirty-five seniors eagerly boarded the Greyhound bus bound for Washington, D. C. , on May 10, 1959. At 6:30 p. m. , tired and happy, we arrived at the Annapolis Hotel. After eating a delicious meal, we journeyed to the Washington National Airport where we watched many jets and super con- stellations arrive and depart from the massive runways. Then we drove around the Capitol and White House Buildings and admired their beauty and serenity. Early Monday morning, a group of sleepy-eyed seniors hastened to visit the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to witness money in the making. After leaving the Congressional Office of Mr. Dent, we visited the Washington Monument, the United States Capitol, the Congressional Library, and the United States Supreme Court. In the evening we had a wonderful time by entertaining ourselves at Glen Echo Park. After many hours of pillow fights, conversations, and frolicking, we awoke from a few hours sleep, dressed hurriedly, and ran to catch the bus to spend the morning of the third day of our trip touring the Pan American Union, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institution. After a tasty lunch, we traveled to the Armed Forces Medical Museum. At the Federal Bureau of Investigation we learned many new and interesting facts about crime detection. As all good things come to an end, so did our trip. Everyone packed his clothes and souvenirs and made ready for the journey home. From the comfortable seats cf the bus, we toured the Iwo Jima Statue, Arlington Memorial Amphitheater, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Pentagon, and Mt. Vernon. At this stage of the trip our class members had mixed feelings of sadness and happiness. We were sad to be leaving the beautiful city of Washington, but we were happy to be returning to our homes. SPRING PLAY initiated a program displaying school talent This year at Laurel Valley a Spring Play was presented instead of the Senior Class Play. The entire student body was eligible to participate in the tryouts. Grandad Steps Out, a farce-comedy in three acts, was selected to be presented. James Meyer humorously portrayed Grandad. Iim's fellow thespians were IoAnn Colson who enacted the role of Mrs. Laura Morton, Kathleen Harford who played Tilly, a country maid: and Sam Clark who portrayed lim Mahoney, a western cowboy. Other members of the cast were Carol Galbraith, Iudy Hughes, Verla Sharp, Arthur Warfel, James Bennett, and Iames Luther. Three other members of the cast were Coradina Bucceri, Carole DeWitt, arrl Kerry Garland, who baffled Grandad. The antics of an inexperienced maid, the inquisitiveness of an old lady, and the grumpiness of a sick grandfather put together a pleasing comedy with its setting in the Eickelberger home. Working hard to learn to interpret their lines and cues, the cast still realized that without the committees, stage crew, and faculty advisors this comedy hit would not have been a success. Mr. William Galbreath directed the play which was presented in the school auditorium on April 2 and 3 before large and appreciative audiences. UHCICFCIGSSMGH 3 W?

They took their studies seriously and attackedthe extracurricular program with knock-out enthusiasm. The juniors are proud to boast seventeen band and twenty-one chorus members, three student council representatives, three cheerleaders, and many participants in clubs, football, basketball, and baseball. Three juniors - Ray Rhoades, Don Krider, and George Haire - represented L. V. at county band at Latrobe High. Robert Cummings, Larry Henderson, and Nettie Cable are student council representatives. Cheerleaders are Mary Iane Kastner, Yvonne Klodell, and Katie Baird. Although the juniors are engaged in all these extracurricular activities, they will work diligently to keep their places on the honor roll. The junior play Papa Says No, presented on November 20, gave some of these eager young actors a chance to display their dramatic talents for the very first time. Top-notch performances from leads and supporting actors made the comedy a hit with both the matinee and evening audiences . In charge of every phase of the play's production was Mrs. Irene Beard who did a commendable job. To earn money for the prom, the juniors planned two projects. The first Valentine Dance, was held on Friday, February 13. Even Friday the 13th couldn't hold this dance down. This delightful occasion proved to be a financial success. The juniors came out on top in proceeds. Next they sold green and white pencils. The juniors really worked on this project. Looking for prospective buyers, they covered every inch of the entire school system. It is not surprising then to add that this campaign enriched the class treasury by quite a few dollars. The finale was the annual junior-Senior Prom, May 8, in the beautifully decorated high school gym. Days of anxiety finally came to an end, only to be over far too soon. Happy couples smiled as ther last strains of Goodnight Sweetheart filled the gym, and another lovely evening ended. One more hurdle, final exams, remained to be passed before they could assume their posi- tions as seniors. Textbooks, pens, notebooks, and a few drops of perspiration were the earmarks of the slaving juniors during the last days of school. Most class members came through with fly- ing colors for on May 29 report cards were proudly exhibited all through the halls. shin new class rings and entertained at prom . is-'.

Others are learning the skills required for jobs in the business world. The vocational course offers training for future homemakers.

This year the Class of 1962 prepared to take their first footsteps toward their future careers, for they chose the course which will determine what type of education they will receive at Laurel Valley. The students who selected the academic course found that algebra can be a little more difficult than just adding one and one. Another subject to which the freshmen were in- troduced was general science which will lay the foundation for physics and chemistry. All the fresh- men studied English and history, which were both very interesting and quite necessary. Cemmas and quotation marks can be confusing. Important world events must be discussed. In heme ec the girls were busy with cooking and sewing, while in the industrial art class the boys were just as occupied with sawing and sanding. This year the freshmen had their last required courses in art and music. Along with health and physical education, the ninth graders carried a full academic schedule. A large number of the boys took an active part in athletics. In a few years they will be players on winning football, basketball, and baseball teams of which Laurel Valley will be proud. The freshmen who looked with proper admiration and respect at the upperclassmen set a fine behavior pattern for the classes below them. With highest aspirations and determined ambitions, they are looking forward to the time when they will be sophomores. As they continue their footsteps to fortune, they will always be seeking knowledge. Ambitious officers discuss plans for their class ac- tivities. Socially this eager class was at its peak in March when they held their annual class dance.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic were just a few of the subjects that the eighth graders at Laurel Valley had on their schedules. They also studied science, English, history, geography, and health. The boys worked in the shop while the girls prepared to be future homemakersin their home economics classes. This industrious class always had a large number of students listed on the honor roll. During the activity period and after school, the eighth graders found time to take a great in- terest in clubs and other organizations. Elaine Krider, Linda Wagner, Carrie Hood, Ierry Vrable, Dennis Doyle, and Lynette Hite represented their class in the band. The various basketball teams of Laurel Valley boasted many eighth grade players. Supporting these teams with cheers could be found the Iunior High Cheerleaders--Barbara Wynn, Sandra Treasurer, Carrie Shetler, and Suzanne Cavanaugh. The boys and girls of the eighth grade were very active in the basketball intramurals held during both lunch periods. The Student Council representatives, Harry Trimble and Lynette Hite, informed their class of Student Council activities. The Spring Play, Gra ndad Steps Out, had in the cast four eighth graders. The part of Kip, the boy who ended up with three dates for the same day, was played by Iames Bennett. The triplets who had every one confused, especially Grandad, were portrayed by Coradina Bucceri, Carole DeWitt, and Kerry Garland. The eighth graders showed their super-salesmanship in the magazine campaign by having class members win second and third prizes. Carole DeWitt came in second: Barbara Wynn won third place The eighth graders are planning for their Washington, D. C. , trip by collecting dues every week. To increase their treasury balance, they will be holding dances and presenting plays when they be- come upperclassmen. All in all the eighth grade has a very bright looking future with upcoming scholars, musicians, and athletic stars. Eager to be on their way as freshmen, they live in an in-between world between elemen- tary school and high school. They scramble to be grown-ups but hold back to be children. Social acceptance is more to be desired by many than high grades. entered the educational experiences of our school :f 5. ff .. 7 ' lr w',, , g ' .1 ll I' ' ' A , x -. ROW ONE: W. Clawson, I.

Looking very confused and a little frightened, the seventh graders marched through the portals of Laurel Valley for the first time in September of l958. Eighty-six students comprise this class. These young boys and girls adapted themselves quickly to the everyday routine of school life and soon learned the location of the gym, shop, cafeteria, and home ec rooms. Extracurricular activities attracted many seventh graders. Those who were musically inclined became members of the band. Kathy Rummel, Carol Rensko, Mary Ann Regula, Gary Saltarelli, Ioseph Cook, Donna Heming, Robert Iones, Ralph Bernabo, and George Spinelli were those active musicians. At the Iunior High basketball games, the pretty seventh grade cheerleaders leading the yells were Darlene McDermott and Susan Fox. Many future varsity basketball stars, scoring points for the Iunior High team, were also seen on the hardcourt. Dorothy Allshouse, Darlynn Mabon, and Susan Fox represented their class at Student Council meetings. Those who enjoyed singing were members of the Iunior Chorus. Though they have par- ticipated in many extracurricular activities, the Honor Roll proves that also scholastically they have achieved recognition for many seventh grade names appear on this distinguished list. One of the many new experiences they encountered was the thrill of selecting the club of their choice. The decision was difficult, but they tackled all classes with determination for they were eager to learn. The seventh graders tried in some small way to improve student life at Laurel Valley. They were a lively, energetic group who increased the friendly attitude of the school. Various dances provided social pleasure for those who enjoyed an evening of fum. The conclusion of their first year at Laurel Valley was marked with success and happiness by their promotion to eighth grade. 44 of the school and tackled new academic courses og.: N ROW ONE: F.

Wagner, L. Longenecker, L. Burkett, B. Spory, Mrs. Chlsnell. The publication of this LAUREL was an ideal towards which the members of the staff worked eagerlv and tirelessly. They realized that, to leave to those who will come after them footsteps to fortune the work would have to be of the highest quality. With a deadline to be met, the editors worked many hours after school to accomplish their task. Articles were assigned, written, scrapped, re-written, typed, returned, and finally accepted for publication. Writing the articles and planning the page dummies were just two of their tasks. Other activities included planning schedules for the photographer and financing their publication. Securing money for the cost of the yearbook is one of the primary aims of the editors. Home room representatives were selected to collect the LAUREL payments every month and to take care of the receipts. To every senior a year book is a precious treasure. It tells through its pictures of a very colorful span of school life with its moments of joy and sadness, its deep friendships, its memories of exciting plays at football and basketball games, and its capture of life in the classroom. After capturing these educational and social experiences of the school year and putting them together with photography, pen, and typewriter, the editors produced an attractive and informative annual. The staff chose the theme Footsteps to Fortune, to depict the footsteps taken in the past to the foot- steps to be completed in the future. Linda Longenecker was named editor: Laura Burkett, layout editor, Bonnie Spory, feature editor: and Maryann Wagner, business manager. The commercial students were responsible for the typing. Other seniors showed their literary talents by writing copy. Still others helped with the sale of advertising. George Stiffey assisted the photographer by carrying cameras, flashbulbs, film, and even stepladders. The mornings of October 14 and 15 found fifteen members of the senior class ready to tackle the job of selling advertising for the LAUREL. They visited local and near-by communities. These groups collected about eight hundred dollars from the sale of ads. The staff along with Mrs. Chisnell, the advisor, worked during the activity periods and many evenings after school to complete the copy and layout for the LAUREL before the deadline. Although hard work, long hours, and great patience were required, the staff enjoyed many humorous moments and occasions.

Reporting school news in effective English, developing the qualities of responsibility and ac- curacy, and promoting school spirit have been the goals of the staff for the 1958-1959 school term. Miss Marie Nichols is the advisor. The newspaper staff is composed of interested students from the junior and senior high schools. The reporters, feature writers, and editors work diligently and tirelessly to give our students an informative and attractive paper. Prior to this year, the paper was printed by our commercial departmentg but now It is sent to ri publishing company to be printed in newspaper form. Through the HI-LITE, the students keep abreast of events in classes, clubs, and activities. Among the features are class reports, humor, printed cartoons, essays, poems, miscellaneous news, sports, and pictures. The editors and staff are chosen by the advisors and preceding editors.

The following officers were elected by the student body: president, Ralph Hedges: vice president, Carol Galbraith, secretary, Carol Chornick, treasurer, Robert Brown. This year the student oo uncil worked on two main projects. The project getting their first attention was the drawing up of a Code of Behavior for the student body of Laurel Valley. Each student in his home room was given the opportunity of submitting a list of items to be included in such a code. The members of the council combined and summarized these lists. A committee composed of Ralph Hedges, Harry Trimble, james Bobko, and Rose Lena Bucceri worked further with the material and drew up the following ten point code: A Code of Behavior BY Laurel Valley Students For Laurel Valley Students 1. Obey all school laws. 2, Make an honest and sincere effort to learn. 3. Be appropriately dressed for school. 4. Strive for cleanliness in mind and body. 5. Be courteous to teachers and to other students. 6. Have respect for property of the school and of other people . Follow traffic regulations in halls and on the stairs. Arrive on time to school and to classes. Have good sportsmanship. Express school loyalty by supporting school activities . The second project undertaken by this year's council was to evolve and execute a plan for motivation and honoring scholastic achievement. The council decided that to meet the challenge facing education in the United States today, the school should give more recognition and encouragement to those students who are doing exceptionally good work in their subjects. A committee was set up to study the matter and to plan a function for honor students. The members of the committee were Rose Lena Bucceri, Robert Brown, Larry Henderson, and Robert Friedhoff.

S. band recently? Perhaps you listened to the group at a football game, at their Annual Spring Concert on April 23, in a parade, or during a practice session. In football season the marching band presented well organized shows during the half-times. All the per- formances at home and away games were jobs well done. The Laurel Valley musicians started the 1958-59 school term two weeks earlier than the regular student body to practice drills, formations, and new music in order to give the football team the support it well deserved. At nine o'clock every morning a group of sleepy-eyed musicians began marching practice on the football field in New Florence. Once they had become acquainted with the routine, three o'clock came quickly. Did you bring the wieners? You didn't forget the buns? These were familiar questions during the last day of band camp, because the members were going to Keystone Park for a picnic. They had decided on a day of fun and relaxation after two weeks of solid prac- tice. The crisp, cool evening of October 29 turned out to be a happy occasion, for at the Amvets Halloween Parade in Iohnstown this attractive marching group was awarded second prize in competition with bands from Westmoreland, Cambria, and Indiana counties. Soon the snowflakes came flying. With this weather also arrived the Christmas season. The band and the chorus presented a Yuletide program for the student body and general public. A few of the selections played were Happy Christmas, Little Friend, Toy and Tinsel Overture, Nativity Overture, O Holy Night Kaccompanying the chorusl, and Silent Night. Practice makes perfect proved to be a true statement when the band presented their Annual Spring Concert on April 23, to the public and student body. The music was selected so that each section of the band would be featured in a special number. Holiday for Trombones, Trumpet Boogie, Woodwln Wonderland, I Love A Parade, and The Golden Eagle March were featured selections. practiced new formations and performed for school assemblies Mr. Eugene Gorlrossl, who instructs and directs this organization, certainly deserves a word of thanks for his patience and hard work. Mr. Gorirossi came to Laurel Valley the year the seniors entered seventh grade. Bonnie Austin, a senior, and Robert Hollen, a junior, were elected student directors. These students have supervisionof the band when the director is absent from practice. Each student director conducted a selection at the concert. A band committee was selected to choose music for performances, to produce programs for different activities, and to aid in making decisions for the group. One person from each grade eight to twelve was elected to serve on a committee. Carolyn Hood represented the eight grade, Benjamin Edmlston, the ninth grade: Lynette Klnzey, the tenth grade: Jane Nelpon, the eleventh grade: and Maryann Wagner, the twelfth grade. Sparklng the band at football games and parades were the drum majorette and the majorettes. Lynette Klnzey, who had been selected as drum majorette, did an outstanding job. Pep and vlvaclty characterized head twirlerldnda Henderson and bannercarriers Bonnie Spory and JoAnn Wynn, Ivext year the band and the student body will miss the senior majorettes--Helen LaMantia, Linda Longenecker, Laura Burkett, and Maryann Wagner.

The senior chorus, composed of singers from the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, rehearsed during activity period Tuesday mornings. The only requirements for membership in this organization were desire and willingness to sing. During the year the senior chorus participated in several school activities, the first was the Christmas program. This year the band and chorus presented a combined program. The narration of the Christmas Story was done by William Hoover, and the chorus sang Sleep, My Iesus Sleep, God Bless The Little Things . Behold That Star, The Twelve Days Of Christmas, and Carol Of The Bells. The band and chorus did O Holy Night, Silent Night, and Auld Lang Syne. On February 26 and 27 All-County Chorus was held at Hempfield Twp. High. This affair brought singers together from all Westmoreland County high schools and gave them an opportunity to work and sing together under a college music director. After two days' rehearsal a public program was presented Friday evening. In April the annual Spring Concert was presented with both band and chorus participating. The chorus sang Surrey With The Fringe On Top, People Will Say We're In Love, Will You Remember? and sev- eral other songs. The next activity involving the senior chorus was one at which the members didn't sing. This was Awards Day, at this annual presentation of awards, the senior members ofthe chorus received pins as remembrances of their chorus events. Finally, at the end of the busy year came the two services for which the senior class had eagerly waited --Baccalaureate and Commencement. During the Baccalaureate Service the chorus sang a religious sono and a response to the benediction. At commencement two secular songs were sung by the chorus, and the band and chorus joined in Auld Lang Syne to send the seniors on their last trip from Laurel Valley High School.

Although the whole junior chorus doesn't perform very often at programs, it is an important organization, for from its members come the future senior choruses of Laurel Valley. Many types of music are sung by the junior chorus. Religious songs, folk music, and popular songs are examples of a typical morning's singing. This young chorus group has been praised for its work, but even more important, the members have developed a deep appreciation of music and enjoyed many happy hours of singing. Part singing, which will later be very important in chorus work, is also stressed in the junior chorus. At first many Community Sing type sings are used. Among these are America, The Star Spangled Banner, Home On The Range, Battle Hymn Of The Republic, A Merry Life, and the three traditional rounds-- Row, Row Your Boat, Three Blind Mice, and Brother Iohn. Later the group uses two-part music such as Little Brown Church In The Vale, Tell Me Why, The Sidewalks Of New York, Dovsm In The Valley, Red River Valley, Our Boys Will Shine Tonight, and Annie Laurie. Finally, three part music will be started with Oh, Those Golden Slippers, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Around The Corner, Vive la Compagnie, Some Folks Do, and America, The Beautiful. All year the chorus spends some time learn- ing and perfecting our high school Alma Mater. One important thing that shouldn't be forgotten or overlooked is that the junior chorus sings for enjoy- ment. Mr. Hall, its director, has devoted much time to the group and has given encouragement to these as- piring singers. 56 JU IOR PLAY featured talents of class members SITTING: fLeft to Rightl D.

Anyone could easily detect an air of excitement among the juniors on November 19. On this day they staged their three act comedy, Papa Says NO. Only a few last minute problems remained to be solved when a notice came from the office that one of the members of the cast was unable to participate in the play because of illness. The cast was summoned to an emergency practice to prepare another person for that role. By afternoon, the substitute had learned her lines and all other la st minute details had been taken care of. The scenery and props had been checked to see that everything was in order. The prompters had taken their places and the stage crew had been given their final instructions. Backstage awaiting their cues were fifteen cases of stage fright. The play was ready to begin. The curtains were drawn and the cast began to exhibit their talents. The audience was amazed at how a junior could age so fast when Warren Spare appeared on stage as Alonzo K. Page, a business man of 55. Displaying the antics of a meddlesome old maid, Norma Kelis portrayed her part as Miss Watts exceptionally well. There were many hilarious scenes in the play. The students burst into peals of laughter when Dawn Henderson came on stage in her ridiculous attire as Mrs. Hawkins. Later in the play the auditorium again rang with laughter when Ray Rhoades entered impersonating a woman. This was so well done that many of the students wondered who the new girl was . Mrs. Lrene Beard coached the ambitious and talented members of the cast. After the evening performance the cast presented Mrs. Beard with a bouquet of red roses to express their appreciation for her expert direction and patience. Other juniors in the cast were Miriam Mears, Mary Iane Kastner, Katie Baird, Nancy Tosh, Mary Jane Bennett, Barbara Carmichael, Robert Hollen, Donald Krider, Dean Caldwell, James Dickert, and Wayne Hepner. 57 HEERLEADERS displaye vim, vigor, and vitalit All set, you betl are the favorite words of the Laurel Valley Ioint High School cheering squad who led the student body in echoing cheers and promoted a respectable sports enthu- siasm among the fans of the Rams throughout the school year . During the year the varsity cheer- leaders welcomed Barbara Shlngler, Katie Baird, Yvonne Klodell, and Elaine Peer into the squad. Carol Sharp was elected substitute. In no time at all. these girls had mastered the intricate techniques for leading cheers. Two captains, Bonnie Spory and IoAnn Wynn, led the cheerleaders this season. Thses two girls also carried the banner for the football games, the homecoming parade at Indiana State Teachers College, and the Halloween Parade in Iohnstown, where the Laurel Valley Band won second prize. As the senior cheerleaders complete this final year, the memories of many nights spent cheering on the gridiron and the basket- ball court will always remain in their hearts ROW ONE: CLeft to Rightj B.

All here--Let's cheer was the fitting introduction of the junior high cheerleaders. With the help of Mrs. Gamble, the sponsor of the squad, the youthful leaders prepared for the basketball season. Two new members joined the squad this year. They were Darlene McDermott and Susan Fox. Both girls are in the seventh grade . The junior high squad consists of six members.

II Sports Club The All Sports Club is an organization for boys of the seventh and eighth grades. The purpose of this club is to interest boys in the three sports played at Laurel Valley. This club was designed so that the members would learn some of the rules and fundamentals of basketball, baseball, and football. Mr. Pudliner, the cliub sponsor, has been giving chalk talks on the rules. Fundamentals will be stressed later when weather permits. The club will try to get films from the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Pirates on the three sports. Sportsmanship is also stressed.

The members made a list of some of the activities they would like to undertake throughout the year. Some of the suggestions were to obtain a film from Indiana State Teachers College on The History of Art and Modern Art. Among the other suggestions were to master tech- niques of clay modeling, sketching, and oil painting. The members also agreed to form groups to make basketball, football, and various other kinds of posters to advertise the activities at laurel Valley. The club officers are as follows: President . . . . . . . . . . . . Ralph Hervif-rson Vice-president .... . . .Timothy Henderson Secretary-Treasurer .......

The purpose of the Career Club is to help high school stud:-rits come to some decision regarding a career. What jobs are open to inexperienced workers and what training is offered for such jobs are questions to which the Career Club rnernbers are seeking answers. The advantages of taking some training beyond high school have been discussed. Some of the members have undertaken a study of opportunities in technical school education: others are learning about schools of nursing. Still others are reading college catalogues and talking with college admission officers. The Career Club mornbc-rs, under the guidance of Mrs. Rosen, are working on a way of sharing their information with the 4-ntlrg student body.

The club presented 3 short play in an assembly this year and expect to give similar performances next year. Because shows given by the llama Club were not for the purpose of raising money for any specific reason, it is hoped that various types of staging can be experimented with. Thr,-y also hope to give several types ofplays and not limit the club productions to the farces and light comedies commonly seen in school shows.

First aid is the immediate and temporary care given the victim of an accident or sudden illness until the services of a physican can be obtained. It may mean the difference between life or death. In every case, proper first aid reduces suffering and makes the phys1can's task easier when he assumes the care of the patient. The responsibilities of the first aider stop when the physlcan's be- gin. First aid tells what to do until the doc- tor comes. The need for first aid training is plainly evident in everyday life. The club consists of four members guid- ed by Mr. Howard. The officers are as follows: President ....... ..... C lifford Visalll Vice-president . . . . . . Gerald McGarvey Secretary .... . .

As the year progressed, club mem- bers were shown how they could take their places in life as future chemists, physicists, or technicians . Certain demonstration il- lustrated some otthe workings of chemistry and biology, that could not be accomplished in the class room. Students were shown that science can he an interesting study and that someday it may be their way of life.

This is the main reason for encouraging the development of a strong, active Tri-Hi-Y program. Many worthwhile benefits can be derived from this. The use of TEEN TALK fills many of the 5 needs of youth. An advantage of Tri-Hi-Y is that it attempts to teach teen-agers how -V, V ' gf to get along with people and to develop a concern for their fellowman. Since the or- ganization is a state and nationally affil- iated one, many of their activities are pre- scribed by the state office. Tri stands for the threefold purpose ot the Y. M. C. A.: Hi is exemplified by high school girls, and Y shows affiliation with the Y. M. C. A. The colors of the group are Red, White, and Blue exemplifying Sacrifice, Purity, and Loyalty. Mrs. Elnora Chlsnell is TRI-HI-Y sponsor. The officers are as follows: President ................... Sally Iones Vice-president . . . ..... Norma Kelis Secretary ...... . .

Yes, these are just a few ofthe many thrills encountered ln the Travel Club. Working on the principle that the better understanding of other people, their customs, food, and beliefs is the key toward peace, the Travel Club is trying to promote this idea through the aid of pictures and movies and by sharing our own travel experiences. Since some means of transportation is necessary for travel, part of our time has been spent deliberating the best modes of transportation. Mrs. Irene L. Beard is the sponsor.

Because of tho limited time, the students are learning the keyboard by touch and the setting up of manuscript writing. Although the club meets only once a month, these students have the opportunity to use the typewriters during their study periods. Each student can progress at h.is own rate and learn to type well enough for his personal use. This is especially help- ful to those students who are taking the ac- ademic course and want to type. This year the club has 29 members who are hoping that by the end of the year they'll be typing ex- pertly. Mrs. Mildred Mabon is the sponsor. ROWONEI G- Shflilefr I- Millflf, B. Short, b. Toth, I.

For his patient endurance of our foolish whims, his ready praise for our worthier endeavors, and his willing loan of priceless experience, Frank will always be high on our list of wonderful people. His various duties include firing the boilers, keeping our gym floor in condition, cleaning the building, helping each junior class decorate for the prom, and aiding the student in- dividually with his friendly advice. Many of us listen while Frank reminds us of what we should do. No books are to be left in the halls, gym cases are to be taken home, paper is to be deposited in the waste baskets, and chewing gum is never to be brought to school. Kindness, sincerity, and friendliness are the qualities of our man, Frank. By readily rendering his services all Laurel Valley activities go off on schedule and in tip top order. Frank is surely a person Laurel Valley would be lost without. 'x MR. FRANK GIBSON, school custodian.

They must type tests, run tests off, draw pictures on stencils and run many copies off, clean the machines, master the operation of the calculator, learn to type on the electric typewriter, acquire a knowledge of the chores of many different types of offices through their office practice sets, and take filing for six weeks. They also kept the small back room in top-notch con- dition. Although this work may sound tedious, long, and hard, the girls en- joyed every minute of it because that is what they plan to do after graduation. Mrs. Mabon carefully supervised the work of these students and greatly broadened their interests in the business field. Twice a day the students welcome the sight of one of the nine senior com- mercial girls delivering the bulletin. 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 a master, typing the announcements, having the work checked in the office, running off 30 copies, getting a check list from the office, and finally delivering the bulletin to the teachers to be read to students. These girls deserve a lot of credit for the work they do, but they en- joy the practice which it gives them. FRONT TO BACK: M. Wagner, I. Peters, L. Burk tt Longenecker, I.

This year there was only one letterman returning, Bob Brown who was a regular last year. Despite the lack of experienced players, the outlook was bright as the Rams floored one of the tallest teams in school history. A team averaging over six feet could be put on the floor at any time. The Rams this yearplayed an independent schedule since the Southern Cambria League disbanded when Southmont and Dale went into jointures. To play in the District C-Class B play-offs the Rams must win sixty-three percent of their games, excluding the contests with Johnstown Catholic. If they don't get into the district play-offs, the team will play in the Westmoreland County Tournament at Hempfield.

The cagers on this team are gaining experience and preparing to play varsity ball. Under Mr. Dohoda's watchful eye these boys drill on the fundamentals of the game. For example, any participant in basketball should posses coordination, be athletically inclintd and work to acquire the necessary skills of this sport. All players learn good sportsmanship Cagers must be willing to practice. After school is the accepted time, not the exception. There are several good varsity prospects on the team.

PAHACH, Head Coach: MR. DOHODA, Assistant Coach. The basketball managers have a vital job to do, this work is important to the players and coaches. At least one manager has to be at each practice to take care of the balls, run errands, and do odd jobs for the team and the Coach. Before and after each game the warm-up jackets and um forms must be handed out and collected. The manager must also check the equipment taken to the away games. The head manager of the 1958-59 season was Fritz Henderson and the other senior managers were Ralph Hedges, Carm Guaetta, and Robert Kerr. 86 Mr. Andrew Pahach, head basketball coach for the seventh year, with his assistant, Mr. Stanley Dohoda, was faced with the large task of organizing a team with only one letterman and three seniors returning. Mr. Pahach capably coached the team and with hard practice and CO-Operatlon instructed the boys in the intricacies of basketball. The Rams performed brilliantly and provided the spectators with a thrill- ing season. The coaches produced another team of which Laurel Valley is proud. Mr. Dohoda, who has charge of the junior var- sity and junior high teams, has produced players who will be the future stars of the varsity team. KNEELING: R. Kerr, T. Brown. STANDING: F.
