Cronin These Were Our Years Our life at Monaca High School has been like a good book which we shall never for- get with its scenes of hardship, excitement, and happiness. We recall how strange and new, high school life was to us at first. Under the guid- ance of our sophomore sponsor, Mrs. Mary Rock, we organized our class, and elected our class officers and class representatives to the Student Council. Our class officers were: john Hutchinson, president, Loraine Gre- back, vice-president, Charlene Motz, secre- tary, and Nancy Fronko, treasurer. The boys took an active part in school sports and the girls participated in the activities of the G.A.A. The Cushnen twins joined the varsity cheerleaders. On March 13 when we re- ceived our class rings, we felt that we had become a real part of Monaca High School. The Freshman-Sophomore party-dance held on May 29 closed our year's social activities. In September we returned to Monaca High as upperclassmen. We shall always remem- ber our junior year as being a happy one. We enjoyed our importance as upperclassmen without feeling the pressure of the many senior responsibilities. Guided by our spon- sors, Miss Mary O'Keefe and Miss Helen Barger, and our officers: Edward McDonald, president, Robert Hickman, vice-president, Frances Gagliordony, treasurer, and Elizabeth Johnson, secretary, we launched upon a mag- azine subscription drive, and Halloween and Easter candy sales to build up the class treas- ury. On the evening of April 25, we had our first experience in dramatics when we pre- sented The Dead of Night, under the fine direction of Mrs. T. Roger Dever. We ended our junior year on May 14 by holding the junior-Senior Prom in honor of the seniors. This was followed by the annual Post-Prom party at the Turner's Hall sponsored by the Post-Prom Committee of Monaca Citizens. Before we knew it, vacation was over, and once more we were returning to Monaca High School, but this time as seniors. We hadn't realized how much work and responsi- bility there was in being a senior but with the help of our sponsor, Mrs. Locke, we tackled our responsibilities and set to work. We elected our officers: Charles Bryson, president, Dennis Denkovich, vice-president, Patricia Cushnen, secretary, Mary Ann Cron- in, treasurer, class representatives, Nancy Ro- bitz and Larry DeVincentis, appointed our class committees and organized the Acanom staff. Mary Ann Cronin was crowned Football Queen by James Slaughter at the annual football queen dance. Our last high school attempt at dramatics was on November 19 when the senior class presented Seventeen is Terrific, directed by Mrs. Dever. To earn money for our yearbook we had a contest among the homerooms to see who could sell the most Christmas candy. One of the highlights of the year was the beautiful May Day exercises under the direc- tion of Mrs. Locke and Miss Radulovic, Nancy Robitz was crowned Queen of the May by Pat Cushnen, maid of honor, assisted by the other members of the Queen's court: Frances Gagliordony, crown bearer, Dolores Egyud, scepter bearer, Nancy Fronko and Nancy McCullough, flower and train bearers. At the foot of the throne, Mrs. William Robitz placed the long white satin mantle of May Day royalty on her daughters shoulders. The crowning ceremony was followed by the International Fiesta. Our social activities came to an end with the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom and the senior banquet at the St. john's School. Our Senior Class Day Assembly made us realize that our days at Monaca High School were at an end and that we must relinquish our positions as leaders of Monaca High School to the Class of 1956. Baccalaureate services held on May 15 and commencement on May 19 meant that each of us would go his own way carrying with him many cher- ished memories, but even though the chapters of life's book go by, we of the Class of 1955 will never forget the valuable things taught us by Monaca High School in spirit as well as in intellect. -37-. 2- Parsy Gardner Billie Allenby George Benner Chuck Allenby Mrs. Wzigner Hannah Hawks Janie Allenby Barbie Allenby Nancy Pomeroy Ginny Grant Dr. Allenby Hugo Jarvis CAST Margarer Smith Charles Bryson Myron Nicklas Carmen Carrivera Barbara Blisran Ruth Ann Ungarion Frances Gagliordony .

May 15. 1954 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Telephone Conversation Recording of 1959 V PEGGY: Hi Donna, this is Peg. Did you hear the latest gossip? Roger Bartholomew won the Big Payoff for Eileen Southard. She won a beautiful mink coat, and they have selected Italy for their trip. Mary Ann Cronin and Cecelia Neese modeled the beautiful clothes on this program. Dennis Den- kovich was the master of ceremonies in the absence of James Petrella. DONNA: Oh, that's wonderful! Are they flying by T. W. A.? If they are, they might have Frank Chembars as their pilot and Don Dierdorf as the co-pilot. Frances Gagliordony and Catherine Douds are hostesses for the same airline. Won't that be a happy reunion? PEGGY: It certainly will! Speaking of airplane trips, Al Cianfarano was brought to our hospital yester- day with an ailment caused by high altitude. Elsie Davis, Dolores Egyud, Charlotte McKinney and I had just been assigned to his floor. He told us that he, Carmen Cattivera, and Ann Huff are in- structors at the Art Institute in Pittsburgh. Anna Lucci is the director of the Institute. By the way, Donna, are you going to the football game tonight? I am. ' DONNA: Sure, I'm going. It's going to be the big- gest college game of the year with coach Jim Lo- Faso's Iron Gridders picked as the winners. Jim Slaughter, Ted Zindren, Larry DeVincentis, John Michaluk, and Ed McDonald are the stars of the starting line-up. , PEGGY: I expect to see many of our Monaca High classmates.

NEXT DAY--6:00 p.m. SATURDAY PEGGY: Hi, Donna. Did you enjoy the game? I saw many familiar faces there. June Adams and Mary Ann Basar took time from their secretarial jobs to attend the game. Marian Crudden and Nan- cy Mechem were helping their alma mater by sell- ing programs. Boy! Did you see those cheerleaders, Jim Hezlep, Tim Kappel, Jim DeLuca, and Chuck Bryson? The high-stepping majorettes were Julia Elmer, Charlene Eberhardt, Margie Smith, and Shir- ley Frank. At halftime two of the college students performed. George Wilczek, the clown, made every- one laugh when he pushed Ronnie Thornburg across the field in a baby buggy. Jim Brown of the Brown Paint Company and Ray Glass of the Etch- ing Glass Company sat next to me. I also saw Mike Kovach, Bill Anderson, Dick Shively, and Pete Equizi in their service uniforms. They are home on IO day passes. -47- DONNA: I saw some of our former classmates, too. After the game, my date and I attended the dance at the Snyder Hotel, which is owned by Stan Sny- der. While I was there, I talked to Bill McClain, the All-American from U. C. L. A., and Joe Trella, one of the most promising professional boxers. Their dates were Mary Ellen Meehan and Margie Neu- bauer, who are studying to become kindergarten teachers. Tom Lipnicky and his Cat Town Orches- tra played all the top jazzy tunes. Ralph Stuehling, Earl Hill, and Myron Nicklas played the trumpets while Robert Stanley played a jazzy piano and Ralph Avoilo crooned in the real Avolio style.

Seated next to me were Lenore Luzzi, Mary Sanchez, and Evelyn Haffey with their husbands. Janice Stewart, writer of the gossip column, I Was There, came over and sat with us. She told me that Tim Timmons now owns his own drugstore with James Hinerman as his pharmacist. The soda jerks are John Monta- gue and Bob Rebold.

Nancy Robitz, presi- dent of the True Heart's Club, is stopping for me, and we are going shopping at the Dress Shop where Louise Smith is the proprietor, and Winona Clark the salesgirl. On the way over, we are stopping at Nancy McCullough's Bakery Shop for one of her delicious cakes. Well, Donna, I have to go now. DONNA: OK, Peg. See you tomorrow.

They have been represented in all school activities of sports and organizations. As upperclassmen they looked forward to their final year by selecting the right subjects in prepa- ration for their life's work. One of their main projects was the means of in- creasing their class funds to meet the financial re- quirements of the junior year as well as to help finance the publication of the l956 issue of the Acanom. Under the direction of their principal, Mr. Gro- leau, the juniors had successful sales of Peanut Brittle and Easter candy, and acquired a substantial sum from magazine subscriptions. In the spring Mr. Reader, their sponsor, steered their ship into the port of show business. On the evening of April li, a well selected cast presented Mumbo Jumbo, ably directed by Mrs. T. Roger Dever with the assistance of the student director, Frances Lynn Dalzell. In a romantic setting of Pink Paradise, the juniors socially bade farewell to the seniors with whom they had had such happy comradeship. The merry-making was continued at the annual Post- Prom party. On the acceptance of the school key from the senior class president, Charles Bryson, on Senior Day, the juniors fully became aware of the respon- sibilities as leaders of 1956. Room 13 ,, ..

As sophomores, the future class of I957 experi- enced an active and enjoyable year. Amidst the confusion of back to school activities. we elected our class ofhcers. Joanne Petrella and Bob Nama- dan were chosen as sophomore representatives to the Student Council. Sylvia Kovac and joan Dettore, the sophomore cheerleaders, displayed boundless energy as they worked to invoke school spirit and team support into the student body. As majorettes, Madeline Howell and Margaret Waxler. strutted in fine fashion before the Monaca High School Band. On january 27, a long-anticipated day finally arrived. We received our beautiful class rings. We now were truly a part of our school. As we pursued many school and extra-curricular activities, we found the first semester of our sophomore year quickly speeding by. With the coming of spring, the Monaca High School stu- dents acquired sweet dispositions. This was part- ly due to the sophomore candy sale. The annual freshman-sophomore dance concluded the activities of a happy and successful year. Room 4 Mr. Brennan Firrt mu-: M. Stabart, E. Swink, M. Zu- rek, M. Troia, P. Stork, B. Weigle, P.

LET'S CALL THE PLAYS MONACA MASSACRES FREEDOM IN THE OPENER Coach Larry Bruno's gridders began their l954 football season with an impressive but lopsided game at the Monaca Memorial Field. The Indians took the opening kickoff and drove 62 yards for their first touchdown. In the ensuing series of downs following the kickoff, DeVincentis, Hutchinson, Hickman, and Slaughter swept down- field to the 27 yard line. Hickman then threw a neat pass to DeVincentis, who then made Monacas initial touchdown. Stan Snyder missed the con- version. The Monaca Indians scored two touchdowns in each of the second and third quarters, with Snyder kicking one conversion and DeVincentis plunging over for the other. Freedom was held scoreless for the first three periods. In the latter part of the third quarter, Coach Larry Bruno sent in his reserves. The Freedom Bulldogs failed to make a first down on their own 45 yard line. Monaca carried the ball to the Bull- dogs' ll yard line and then quarterback jim Moore passed to George Petrella for Monaca's final touch- down. Bay Petures' placement attempt was blocked. Freedom broke the apparent Monaca shutout after taking a Monaca punt on the Monaca 42. john Farls, Leon Sykes, and Orben Keller maneu- vered the ball to the one yard line where Farls plunged for the T.D. Bob Stumpf tacked on the extra point. The outcome of the game was due to Monaca's powerful ground gaining attack. The Indians gained 262 yards rushing and held Freedom to ll8. In passing, Monaca completed 2 for 4 while Freedom completed 3 out of IS. ROCHESTER RAMS EDGE OUT MONACA ELEVEN In a brilliantly played and hard fought game, the Rochester Rams edged out the spirited Monaca Indians, before some 5,000 fans at the Memorial Stadium in Monaca. Rochester's outstanding offensive back, Sam johnson, showed the Monaca cleaters what to do when carrying the ball. After stopping Rochester's early march of 57 yards, the Indians then started a jaunt of their own. Moving 74 yards in nine plays, Slaughter then took the ball from nine yards out for the T.D. DeVincentis' plunge for the extra point was short. , tt 11 ls' -it .- x i' swa m FOOTBALL First mir: L. DeVincentis, 1. Michaluk, P. Fronk, P. Malloy, Rumhaugh, Serum! mir: B. McClain, R. Hickman, S.

Rochester's Jim Sciaretta then punted and put the ball on the Monaca 7 yard line. Monaca could move only 8 yards in three plays. DeVincentis then went back to punt, but a bad pass from center forced the Monaca punter into the end zone where he was smeared by 4 Rochester tacklers for the safety. Early in the second quarter, Sam johnson took a pitchout from quarterback Brown and went 33 yards downfield for the T.D. Sciaretta's conversion and Rochester was in the lead 9 to 6. Monaca then had the ball and was moving steadily downfield when Sam johnson of Rochester took a short pass from Monaca's jim Slaughter and trod the happy grass again. Sciaretta's place- ment was good. The score was 16 to 6. George Petrella took the kickoff and returned it to his 36. Sub fullback, Nick Makowiecki, then ripped off yardage to his 43. Hickman then hit DeVincentis with a perfect pass and DeVincentis then went for the T.D. Slaughter plunged for the extra point. Bay Petures of Monaca rambled about 40 yards with an intercepted pass for a would-be score on the last play of the first half, but the play was called back because of a clipping penalty.

MONACA BLANKS CORAOPOLIS BLUE DEVILS The Monaca Indians wasted no time in starting the massacre of the Coraopolis Blue Devils. The strong Monaca cleaters scored three times in the first quarter, twice in the third period, and once in the fourth, being held scoreless in the second. The Blue Devils only scoring threat came in the latter part of the first half, when Scalerico threw a screen pass from his own 37. The threat was stalled permanently by the conclusion of the first half. Shortly after a fumble by halfback Frank Mur- gia, while attempting to punt, the resurgent In- dians started the ball rolling, jim Slaughter took the ball down to the one yard lineg from there he carried it over. The power-packed Monaca line opened a hole and DeVincentis added the extra point. Several plays later, DeVincentis intercepted a pass by Scalerico on the Cory 24, and ran to the 19 before he was stopped. The Monaca backs worked the ball up to the Blue Devil's six yard line, and then DeVincentis went over for the six- pointer. The extra point was not made. About four minutes later, Slaughter took a lateral from jack FOOTBALL MANAGERS Tim Kuppel, Eugene Scassu, Donald Rumbaugh IOE CUTRONA LARRY BRUNO A.f.FiJ'Id77f Coach Head Coach i62... Hutchinson on the Coraopolis 45 and ran through a host of would-be tacklers for his second touch- down. Nick Makowiecki made the extra point good with a plunge. Witli the help of Ed McDonald and Bill Mc- Clain, Nick Makowiecki blocked an attempted Murgia punt on the Cory 2. Hutchinson then bucked over the goal line for the fourth Indian tally. Makowiecki set up the fifth Monaca touchdown when he blocked a punt on the Cory 42. Slaughter then burst through the left side of the Blue Devil line and trod the happy grass again. Jim DeLuca recovered a Scalerico fumble, enabling Slaughter to burrow to the 38. In two fine running plays, Makowiecki plunged for the extra point. The determining factor of the game was the strong defense of Monaca teamed up with the speed and ruggedness of the Monaca backs, Slaugh- ter and DeVincentis. MONACA INDIANS ROMP OVER FIFTH AVENUE Monaca High School football fans were treated to a powerful display of running power as the Monaca Indians massacred the Fifth Avenue Arch- ers from Pittsburgh by a 69-0 score. The Monaca II made mincemeat out of the Archers as the Indians' backs romped through the Fifth Avenue defense almost at will. Fifth Avenue's quarterback, Norm Jamison, made the only bright spot for the Archers as he got off several good passes in spite of the fact that he was rushed constantly by the Monaca line. Other than Jamison, Fifth Avenues speedy backs were held to limited yardage by the strong Monaca defense. Five of Monaca's touchdowns were scored by the touchdown twins, Jim Slaughter and Larry De- Vincentis. Slaughter tallied threeg DeVincentis and George Petrella, a sub back, each scored twog John Hutchinson, Ed McDonald, and Nick Makowiecki each scored one. The Monaca first stringers were given only a Zvi minute workout as Coach Larry Bruno substituted freely after the second quarter. The outstanding feat of the game was the amaz- ing performance of tackle Stan Snyder. Snyder kicked 9 out of I0 extra points for what is believed to be a modern record for Western Pennsylvania High Schools. Although Snyder kicked I0 out of I0 attempts, one conversion was called back because of a li yard penalty against Monaca. He then attempted it from 17 yards out, but it fell short.

MONACA EDGED BY MIDLAND For more than three and a half quarters the well matched Indians and Leopards battled each other to a standstill. At the four minute signal in the final period, a scoreless deal look seemed ap- parent. In the final quarter, the Midland Leopards took to the air in an earnest attempt to score. The passing strategy seemed to be in vain until the last four minutes of the game. Shortly after the four minute signal was given, Foreso's third pass had been broken up by alert Monaca defenders. On the fourth down, Foreso took to the air in a futile attempt to break the ice. Unable to find a receiver the determined Leopard quarterback kept back peddling and looking des- perately for a receiver. After seeing the Leopard line weakening under the hard charging Monaca defense, Foreso finally spotted Vince Paylon head- ing toward the goal line directly in front of him. Foreso hit Paylon on the Monaca three yard line and the Midland end dove into the end zone for the only tally of the game. In the ensuing series of downs following the kickoff, the Monaca Indians staged their most seri- ous scoring threat of the game. jack Hutchinson returned the kickoff to the Monaca 42 yard line. The Monaca quarterback, Bob Hickman, then took to the air, in a vital attempt to tie up the game if not go ahead. Hickman hit halfback Larry De- Vincentis who battled his way to the Midland 28 before being brought down by a host of Midland players. Monaca picked up 5 yards on a penalty to move the ball to the 23 yard line. On the next play, jim Slaughter fumbled on the 20 yard line and one of Midlands alert linemen recovered the ball. The game was a rugged defensive battle between two powerful lines. MONACA EASILY DOWNS HOPEXVELL Led by Monaca's hard running backs who amassed tremendous yardage, the Monaca Indians out-scored the Hopewell Vikings by a score of 37- 18, before some 1,500 fans in the Aliquippa High School Stadium. Monaca's jim Slaughter tallied the Indians first two touchdowns on runs of 25 and 78 yards. DeVincentis hauled in two passes from Bob Hickman and scored on plays covering 62 and 35 yards. His third touchdown came on a 72 yard jaunr. Fullback Jack Hutchinson cracked over right tackle from 5 yards out for the other Monaca 6 pointer. Five minutes after the start of the game quarter- back Bob Hickman handed off to Slaughter on the Viking 25. After going through the right side BILL McCLAIN JIM SLAUGHTER JACK HUTCHINSON Right Guam? Left Half Fulllmck of the Viking line, Slaughter was stopped momen- tarily by the Hopewell secondary, but with great faking he broke loose and ran into the end zone. Three minutes later, Hopewell's Ted Vucenich punted dead on the Indian eight yard line. On the fourth running play, Slaughter once again went through the right side of the Viking line, cutting to his right for 78 yards and a touchdown. In the second period Hickman threw a perfect strike to Larry DeVincentis, who was all alone on the Hopewell 35. He lost the Hopewell defenders in a race to the goal line. Viking quarterback Vucenich saturated the air with aerials. In the third quarter Vucenich managed to get a pass away after being rushed by Ed McDonald and Bill McClain, only to have it intercepted by Ted Zindren on the 20 yard line. Two plays later Hutchinson plunged over right tackle from the 3 for the touchdown. Snyder's conversion was true. On the first play after the kickoff, alert joe Trella recovered a Viking fumble on the Hopewell 35. Several plays later, Hickman threw an accurate pass to the fleet DeVincentis who received on the 25 and faked his way through the Viking secondary for the touchdown. DeVincentis thrilled the crowd on a 72 yard run for the final Monaca tally. INDIANS CRUSH BEAVER BOBCATS Being held in check by the stubborn Bobcat defense through the first period, the Monaca cleaters broke the scoring ice early in the second quarter. Indian quarterback Bob Hickman threw an aerial to DeVincentis who thrilled the fans by a spectacular one handed catch. DeVincentis ran to the Bobcat 32 yard line before being hauled down. jim Slaughter then went through and out- ran several Beaver tacklers for his first touchdown. Snyder's conversion was good. Several minutes later, Makowiecki intercepted a Bobcat pass on the Beaver 35 yard line and ran the remaining 65 yards untouched for the second Indian score. Snyder made good the extra point. just before the half ended, Ted Zindren recovered a Beaver fumble near the midfield stripe. A half dozen plays later, DeVincentis bowled down three defenders in the wake of a six yard smash. The extra point was missed. Later on in the third period, Slaughter raced Zl yards for his first third period tally. Snyder added the one-pointer. Slaughter returned a punt 69 yards for the final Indian score. Taking the ball midway between the sideline stripes, he raced in the end zone never breaking his stride. The Bob- cat's only scoring threat came at the end of the ...55- third period. The Bobcats drove to the Monaca 15, but were stopped by the rugged Monaca defense. The usual running ability of Slaughter and De- Vincentis were the bright spots of the game. Great defensive play by the Indian line was also a great asset. MONACA GRIDDERS THUMP GLASSPORT ELEVEN After the opening kickoff, the Monaca Indians felt they had found their match as the Indians were forced to punt. Petures sent a booming kick down to the Glassport 5 yard line. On the next play, Glassport's Richie Lucas carried the ball to the I2 before fumbling. DeVincentis recovered. Several plays later, Hickman threw a strike to DeVincentis on the 2 yard line. Slaughter then plunged through the right side of the Glassport line for the first tally. Snyder's placement attempt was blocked. Near the end of the first period the Glassport cleaters held the Monaca Indians on the 2 yard line. The Gladiators then were forced to maneuver the ball away from the goal line. They managed to get to the 19 in the first ten seconds of the second quarter. Makowiecki broke through the Gladiator line to block Lucas' punt. After having broken through the Gladiators' line of the previous play, Makowieckis blocked punt gave Monaca a safety. The kickoff return brought the ball up to the 47. Jack Hutchinson gained a yard on the next play. Then Hickman pitched-out to Slaughter who went through, around, and over four defenders for the T.D. Snyder missed his conversion. The Gladiators worked the ball down to the Monaca 13 where Sherman fumbled, and DeVin- centis recovered. DeVincentis then took the ball off tackle and neatly pushed 90 yards for the Monaca tally. Snyder again missed. In the downs following the kickoff, the Gladiators craved for a touchdown as they moved to the Monaca ll. There they lost the ball on downs. Two plays later, De- Vincentis dashed to Point Paradise, only to have it nullified by a penalty. In two successive ball car- ries, Slaughter had hit pay dirt. The Gladiators then took the kickoff back to Monaca's 23. Six plays later jim Tomedolsky bucked over for the Glassport tally. Chuck Zaleski booted the extra point. Monaca then returned the kickoff to their own I7. There a penalty was called. Slaughter then took the ball on the 12 and trod the happy grass again. Hickman passed to DeVincentis for the extra point. RAY GLASS LARRY DeVINCENTIS DENNIS DENKOVICH Right Emi Right Half Right End -65- FLOYD PRIEST Le ft Tackle The final Indian score came when Regis Schultz intercepted a Sherman pass and ran 45 yards be- hind timely blocking for the T.D. Hickman passed to Glass for the extra point. Late in the fourth period Baven took a Petures punt down field for the final Glass score and the last touchdown of the game. The extra point was missed. MONACA CLEATERS DOWN BRIGHTON ELEVEN In the final game of the season, some 1,800 shivering fans saw the Monaca Indians rack up the New Brighton gridders 41-6. Monaca's Jim Slaughter and Larry DeVincentis, the Indian's touchdown twins, put on a great dis- play of running power. The Indians had their first tally shortly after the opening kickoff as jim Slaughter trod the happy grass for the first score of the evening. The Lions roared back when they recovered a fumble by Slaughter and scored their first and only tally in a matter of 9 plays. Frank Field's attempted conversion was blocked by the charging Monaca line. From then on it was JOE TRELLA Left End Slaughter and DeVincentis who shattered the Brighton defense. On the following kickoff, Monaca drove to the Brighton 50 yard line. Once again Slaughter scored from 30 yards out on a wide end sweep. After the half time rest the New Brighton Lions' defense crumbled beneath the hard running backs of the Monaca Indians. After being stalled momentarily at midfield, Slaughter took off around end to score his third six pointer of the evening. Unable to move the ball following the kickoff, the Lions were forced to punt. DeVincentis ran the punt back 28 yards to the Brighton 42 yard line. After penetrating into Brighton territory Slaughter scored his fourth T.D. from 4 yards out.

Basketball Highlights MONACA EDGES FREEDOM A big second half rally gave Coach Larry Bruno's Monaca Indians a hard earned 56 to 50 victory over the Freedom Bulldogs on the winners' hard- wood. Highlighting the spirited second half, Mo- naca made three baskets in rapid succession by Nick Cutich and two goals by Bill Puhalla and Dud Zigerelli, scoring on long set shots, finished the game as high man for the Indians with 18 points. Bob Wilscnn led Freedom with 21 points. MARS NIPS MONACA 50 to 46 Making good use of their many opportunities at the foul line, Coach Girdwood's Planets downed the stubborn Monaca Indians. Monaca dumped in 16 field goals as compared with 13 for the Planets, but the Indians lost out at the foul line. Nick Cutich of Monaca was the leading scorer with 15. Dave Wigand was high for Mars with 13. MONACA HAMMERS HOPEWELL 81 to 49 Nick Makowiecki poured 35 points through the baskets for Monaca as the Indians beat Hopewell 81 to 49 on the Monaca court. A total of 55 personals and one technical foul was called during the game. The first six points scored came on fouls and it was 3 minutes before a field goal was scored. Bud Neede of Hopewell picked up 3 personals in the first 3 minutes, and Nick Cutich fouled out with 2 minutes remaining in the first half. Makowiecki was high man in the game, and Ed McDonald and Bud Neede came through with 15 and 20 points respectively. MONACA SMASHES BEAVER 67 to 46 Showing their best form since the season started, the Indians trampled the Bobcats with unexpected ease by a 67-46 margin. 171- Beaver battled the Indians on even terms until late in the first period when the Brunomen held a slim 13-12 lead. Then Monaca banged in seven points in a row headed by Ed McDonald. Earle Stout of Beaver led the scoring with 20 points. Ed McDonald paced the winners with 17 while Nick Makowiecki and Bill Puhalla each came through with 14 points. NEW BRIGHTON DEFEATS MONACA Only a small crowd had the privilege of seeing Coach Mel Millers spunky band of basketeers notch their third Section 8 victory of the season at Dawes Gym when they dumped Monaca 60-56, in a rip- snorting affair from start to finish. It was the first time in three years that the Lions have beaten the Indians. A second half rally when the Lions outscored their Indian opponents 32-21 coupled with intense hustle and fighting spirit was the key to their victory. A Ed McDonald was high man in the game with 21 points. Ken Ashton led the Lions with 16 points. LEOPARDS BEAT MONACA 62 to 31 Monaca's speedy and spirited Indians gave the Leopards a close first half. Then Midland jumped ahead to stay out front. Lanky Herb Lake of Midland drew three per- sonals in the first period and sat out the entire second session and most of the fourth. He was held down to 6 points. MON ACA EDGES RAMS Although the Monacans led throughout the sec- ond half, the game was an exciting nip and tuck affair all the way to the final buzzer. As the third period opened, a pair of fouls by Dud Zigerelli and a lay-up by Larry DeVincentis gave Monaca a 17-24 lead. The Indians remained in front the rest of the game. The Monacans out- scored the visitors 18 to 12 to lead 41-36 at the three quarter mark. Little Dud Zigerelli led the Indians to victory with 12 markers. Makowiecki and McDonald hit for 10 points each as runners-up for Monaca. Bob- by Brown led the Rams with 16 points. MONACA EDGES FREEDOM 60 to 58 A jump shot by Bill Puhalla in a sudden death overtime period gave the Monaca High dribblers a 60-58 decision over the Freedom Bulldogs. In the first overtime period Barry Sykes banged in a jump shot that put Freedom ahead momen- tarily. Bob Hickman and Nick Makowiecki con- verted four foul shots for Monaca and the score was tied again 58 all. High scoring honors of 19 each went to Bill Puhalla of Monaca and Hewko of Freedom, while Nick Makowiecki and Dud Zigerelli each con- tributed 12 points to Monaca's total. MONACA ROLLS OVER MARS Paced by diminutive Dud Zigerelli, the Monaca High Indians spurred in the third quarter to thump the scrappy Mars Planets, 81 to 66, at Monaca. Zigerelli had the best night of his career as he rippled the cords for 31 points. After Zigerelli opened the second half with two free throws, the Indians maintained a 5 point lead for the first four minutes. This set the stage for Zigerelli's spurt, and at the end of the quarter Monaca led, 63-50. Mars never threatened in the final period. Don Wix led Mars with 33 points. Nick Ma- kowiecki and Bill Puhalla scored 16 points for the winners. HOPEWELL BEATS MONACA 61-45 Monaca was tied for second place honors with a 6-4 record when the Hopewell Vikings dumped the Monaca Indians 61-45 at the Hopewell gym. After a close and exciting first quarter, the Vikings took charge and surged ahead steadily as the game progressed. Bud Neede led all scorers with 24 points. Nick Makowiecki and Dud Zigerelli had 13 and 10 points respectively for Monaca. BEAVER NIPS MONACA 58-55 Playing without the services of Dud Zigerelli and Jack Hutchinson, an undermanned but scrappy Monaca Indian five were nipped by Beaver High Bobcat's big second quarter splurge. Monaca jumped off to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter mainly on the shooting of Bill Puhalla. In the second quarter, Beaver outscored Monaca 19-7 to gain a 26-21 lead at halftime. In the last half, Monaca outscored Beaver 34-32 but it wasn't enough to overcome the 5 point lead of Beaver. High scorers of the night were Nick Mako- wiecki of Monaca and Earle Stout of Beaver with 22 points. Cutich with 13 and Puhalla with 10 helped Monaca's scoring. MONACA BEATS NEW BRIGHTON Monaca jumped off to a 13-0 lead in the early moments of the first quarter and then cruised to a 59-43 win. Monaca's fine defense held New Brighton for 5 minutes and 45 seconds of the first quarter. jim Bonnelle finally hit for a push shot to break the ice for New Brighton. New Brighton kept hacking at the Monaca lead until in the third period the score was Monaca 35 ..72.. New Brighton 32. There Monaca pulled away for good. Monaca's high scorer was Nick Makowiecki with 22 markers. New Brighton was paced by Dutch McGarry with 14 points. LEOPARDS HAMMER MONACA A spirited Monaca five was downed by a power- ful Midland club 60-33. A smooth sledding collapsing zone employed by Monaca completely baffled the Leopards during the first 2 periods. Finally the Indians fell under the pressure of Midlands strong defense and speedy offense. Herb Lake, high jumping Leopard center, proved unstoppable as he controlled both boards, harassed the losers on defense and poured 27 points through the nets. High man for the well balanced Monaca of- fense was Larry DeVincentis with 10 points. INDIANS DOWN ROCHESTER In an unusually low-scoring contest that rang the curtain down on the cage season for Monaca, the Indians downed the Rochester Rams 37-28. In the first half of play the Rochester Rams were unable to garner a solitary field goal. The most exciting moment in the game occurred just a split-second before halftime when Dud Zig- erelli took a pass-in from out of bounds and let fly a desperation one-handed heive from three- quarters of the floor. The crowd roared as the ball whizzed on a line to the hoop and miraculously kerplunked in just as the buzzer sounded. High scorers for Monaca were Puhalla with 8, Cutich and Makowiecki with 7. High scorer of the evening was Dave Bucken- hiemer of Rochester with 12 tallies. This was the last game for Monaca seniors: Ed McDonald, Larry DeVincentis, Bob Hickman, and Jack Hutchinson.

Officers elected were Michael Kovach, Presidentg Charles Bryson, Vice-Presidentg and Tom Lipnicky, Secretary'Treasurer. The Monaca Hi-Y basketball team was a partici- pant in the Beaver Valley Hi-Y Basketball league. The Club also purchased new uniforms with money obtained through two money-making projects. One of the projects was a movie entitled Twelve O'Clock High, and the other was a joint bake sale with the Tri-Hi-Y. Among the special events of the year was the presentation of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Torch by the Ellwood City Y Clubs. The Torch is the sym- bol of friendship and understanding. The follow- ing evening the Monaca Y Clubs in turn presented the Torch to the Butler Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. The Torch was sent to Y Clubs throughout the state of Pennsylvania. This fall the Torch will be sent to the Y.M.C.A, Conference to be held in Paris, France. -.- 80 -. Fllklkf mtv: li. Dalzell, P. Cushnen, B. Blistan. Secmnf ww: ul. Stewart, C.

Inspired by this conference, the girls met in August at the home of Pat Cushnen to formulate a ten- tative program for the year. Personal Improvement was the theme selected for the years programs. ln September, Mrs. D. C. Locke emphasized our year's theme in an inspiring and challenging talk at the ln- duction Ceremony. ln january, Mrs. Donald Reader, the guest speaker. continued the theme by emphasizing the importance of meticulous grooming. On March 8, l955, representatives from the Iillwood City Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Clubs brought the Torch of Friendship to the Monaca High School Hi-Y and Tri- Hi-Y Clubs. On March 9, l955, the Monaca Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs presented it to the Butler Y-Teens Clubs at the Butler Y.M.C.A. This new Torch of Friendship, sent on its way at the l95fl Y.M.C.A. State Convention. has been carried all over Pennsylvania from club to club. lts journey will end at the Y.M.C.A. Wtmrltl Centennial in Paris, in August, l955. Messages from outstanding men and women and from each community visited accompany this symbol of friendship and of high ideals. Another project intended to promote world friendship and understanding in which the Tri-l-li-Y had a part was the Tri-Hi-Y United Nations Assembly held in Harrisburg on March ll-ll, 1955. The purpose of this assembly, which is held every two years, is to promote an interest in and Ll know- ledge of the real United Nations Assembly. Barbara Blistan and Patricia Cushnen were chosen to attend this Tri-Hi-Y Nations Assembly and were in the group that represented Denmark. During the year the budget was taken care of nicely by the proceeds from a candy sale, a bake sale, a Valen- tine dance, and a movie. Evaluating the worthwhileness of the year's program is difficult. However, if the members are fully aware ol their obligations to themselves and to their fellow men. we shall feel that our year has been a success. wr 1 V 1 r -1 N lfzfxmf wut R.

The G.A.A. got off to a fine start this year with the Canine Capers volleyball tournament in which Nancy McCullough's Chihuahuas'l reaped laurels for their fine efforts in net playing. Also among early tournament champions was Pat Blinkey's junior bowling team who emerged from the bowling tourney as unheralded victors. A very rewarding outcome of the five-month bowl- ing schedule was the entry of five teams of boys and girls in a national American Junior Bowling Congress tournament. Interspersed among basketball, badminton, ping pong, and softball activities were some very suc- cessful social affairs such as the Masquerade Party, play days at Aliquippa, Ambridge, and Geneva Collegeg roller skating partiesg and the annual Christmas formal. In order to give recognition to the seniors who were active in sports during their high school ca- reer, awards were presented to the outstanding athletes at the Senior Farewell Banquet in the Spring, Gee, those crew hats were so tricky! The final event of the year was a combined G.A.A.-B.A.A. picnic at North Park in Pittsburgh, which proved to be loads of fun, especially for those who engaged in the tug-of-war over a water puddle, and lost. ...gg- W Mme: c W, S-gh-2' 5 7 ,....
